The Raw Deal (30 March 2026) with co-host Joe Olson
Jim Fetzer and Joe Olson dissect a massive Russian missile barrage on Ukraine's industrial base, arguing U.S. strategy aims to freeze the conflict while pivoting against China. They analyze MIT Professor Theodore Postol's warnings of Iran's imminent nuclear capability and the potential for devastating retaliation if Israel strikes, alongside reports of American vessel sinkings in the Persian Gulf. The discussion expands to Marco Rubio's anticipated two-to-four-week war with Iran, historical conspiracies regarding Operation Ajax, and allegations that Charlie Kirk's assassination was a staged CGI event designed to silence criticism of Israel. Ultimately, the hosts assert the petrodollar is dead, Gulf states may realign with Tehran, and U.S. narratives on Middle Eastern casualties are fundamentally deceptive.

This is Jim Fetzer, your host on the Raw Deal, right here on Revolution Radio Studio B this 30th day of March 2026, joined by co-host Joe Olson.
It appears Putin is benefiting from his relationship with Iran.
Putin missile swarm shocks Trump Ukrainian army crushed.
Let's check out this report.
Hey, it's Brian Taylor Cohen.
In a moment, I'm going to ask you if you can make a $10 donation to More Perfect Union.
But first, United States, NATO, now Trump is saying he's very mad again at Vladimir Putin for this huge missile attack.
The attack was the second biggest one in the conflict, 629 aerial weapons overall, a huge number of Geron-type drones, 598.
You had Kinjal missiles being launched, Iskanders, cruise missiles.
So many targets were hit from the Yucher Sprex system, Samsung in Ukraine, Kiev radio plant.
So many targets, Brian, and all of them point to the Ukrainian military's industrial base.
It sends a pretty strong message that, and this was the scene during that attack, just an absolute barrage on Ukraine.
So what does this say about where things are at given this so-called restart of talks?
Well, I think it demonstrates Russia's, and I think correct understanding of this process of talk.
This is obviously just another attempt by the United States to implement some sort of Minsk one, Minsk II freeze of the conflict.
This is what they literally said publicly.
I go over this every single time we talk about this topic.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegset, all the way back in February, at the very beginning of the Trump administration, talking about freezing the conflict, not ending it, freezing it, sending in European and non-European troops, not American troops into Ukraine to do a kind of Minsk one, Minsk II plus Syria style freeze of the conflict.
So the United States could pivot east and attack Russia's ally, China.
And then once they're done trying to contain or roll back China's rise, they will come back and they will deal with Russia later.
And they call this strategic sequencing.
And this is all out in the open, public.
Everybody knows this.
Russia knows this.
This is why Russia isn't taking any of this seriously.
They're being polite.
They're going to these talks.
They're committing to absolutely nothing.
They've made no concessions whatsoever.
And they continue with the war on the ground.
And this is not a war on Ukraine.
This is a war that the U.S. is fighting against Russia simply through Ukraine.
And just to remind people, it isn't that the United States is just supporting the Ukrainians in all of this.
The United States is literally overseeing every single aspect of this conflict.
There are U.S. generals in Germany right now running the entire war from the overall strategic picture down to picking individual targets on the battlefield.
We were just talking about this before we went live.
We're talking about how President Trump has so graciously demanded that the Ukrainians not carry out any long-range strikes on Russia.
The purpose of this wasn't because President Trump is fundamentally against striking at Russia because he wants to end the conflict.
It was, as he himself said, to encourage talks and essentially to trick the Russians into yet another Minsk-style ceasefire or freeze.
And because that isn't working, we've seen the Trump administration simultaneously begin the process of arming Ukraine with more long-range weapons.
And eventually they're going to take that limit off the use of Western missiles to attack Russian targets.
And I was just watching reports about Ukrainian Neptune missiles.
These are long-range missiles supposedly built by Ukraine, although obviously with NATO U.S. help.
And they were trying to target the Crimean bridge again.
And there were U.S. reconnaissance aircraft flying over the Black Sea for days preparing this attack.
And so it's literally the United States picking the target, providing all the information for Ukraine, and Ukraine simply just pushing the button to carry out these strikes.
Now, again, as usual, Russia's air defense, missile defense systems stopped this attack on the bridge, and nothing became of it.
But this is the Trump administration pretending to stop long-range missile strikes on Russia while actually still carrying them out while preparing for additional strikes.
So Russia sees straight through this.
That is why the war continues.
This is a war that needs to be settled on the battlefield.
And that is what Russia is doing.
It's this huge missile attack that has Europe absolutely angry.
Now, Trump is saying he is angry at Russia for this missile attack.
Now, Russia has never said that it was going to cease hostilities.
The war continues to escalate.
Hundreds of aerial weapons used in this.
Your reaction to where things are at KJ and what the significance of this stage of the conflict is.
I think, you know, as Brian said, this is a war that is going to be decided on the battlefield.
The Russians are undeceived.
They're not going to fall in for, you know, the salesman talk, the Mins 3, whatever you have it.
So they're perfectly aware of, you know, what is going to happen.
It's going to be decided on the battlefield.
And they have, you know, overwhelming strength.
Certainly, they have the overwhelming tactical, strategic, and industrial capacity to overwhelm the Ukrainians.
And they're starting to Swiss cheese the front lines as well as have these standoff, you know, immense standoff attacks.
So I think all of this is fairly clear, but I think the interesting spin here is the way that the U.S. is reacting with extreme frustration and lashing out at its quote-unquote so-called allies.
And what I mean by that is, you know, most recently, Peter Navarro calling the Ukraine war Modi's war.
You know, essentially, India said, you know, it's our sovereignty.
We buy oil from who we want.
You don't have to buy from us, but we're going to buy and sell who we want to.
And Navarro is blaming the Indians for, you know, the Ukraine war.
He says it's a laundromat for the Kremlin.
And in the high-ranking elite circles, Ashley Tullis says that Trump has done more to push India and China and Russia together than any other president in history.
In fact, cynically or sardonically, I think he's saying that Trump has done more for peace than any other president because he essentially created a coalition that was not supposed to happen.
And currently, I'm sure that Eli Ratner, who was the Undersecretary for Policy at the Department of Defense, is probably pulling out his hair at the Marathon Institute because India was supposed to be the manufacturing.
It was supposed to be the secure and safe military manufacturing and subcontracting hub.
And now Trump has thrown that out the window.
Essentially, the logic here being that when the bully gets frustrated, the first one, first person that he's going to pick on is his sidekick.
And India is the most closest and convenient sidekick to beat up on.
Joe, I want your thoughts about this.
I think Putin is such a savvy fellow.
He's been so kind and gentle about Ukraine because these are Russian people.
Ukraine was a part of Russia historically.
Kiev was the very first capital of Russia.
But I think now he's getting serious.
He's always been.
But I mean, these additional attacks, Trump's frustrations because they were effective, Joe, because they were effective.
Your thoughts.
Yeah, well, anybody that's curious about what's going on, this is the great game that the Europeans have been playing against everybody on the planet for the last 150, 200 years.
And all you have to do is go to Wiki, look under color, underline revolutions.
And the United States, through the CIA and the NED, National Endowment for Democracies, has funded over a dozen color coups just in Eastern Europe since 2002.
We did the Orange Revolution in Ukraine in 2004 and overthrew their duly elected government.
We did it again in 2014 with the Minsk revolution and overthrew their government.
So this has been intentional.
And the underlying cause was to try to draw Russia out of Syria so that we'd have the ability to make Syria fall.
And then we'd be able to have a clear flyway from Israel over to attack Iran, which we'd already attacked both of Iran's neighbors, Afghanistan to the east and Iraq to the west and taken over them.
So we had air dominance from both sides of Iran.
But unfortunately, the Taliban threw us out of Afghanistan before they could pop that trap.
So now we're still playing catch up.
But the whole thing is absolutely insane.
It's nothing but maniacal messianic demons that are running the planet.
And it doesn't take a half dozen of them in positions of power.
And that's what we've got in the way of Netanyahu and Trump, unfortunately.
Joe, don't you think with Iran's success in defeating Israel and the United States, that Europe is going to reassess its support for the Ukraine war on the one hand and its lack of willingness to engage in commercial transaction with Russia on the other?
I mean, the Nord Stream pipeline was going to be fantastic.
Cheap energy for Germany, which would have become the economic powerhouse of Europe.
I believe, and I'm interested in your thoughts, this pivot to Russia is going to take place now.
The sooner the better.
Stop attacking Russia.
I think the United States is making a fool of itself by these continued aggressive actions against Russia.
But Europe is going to recognize its best interests are no longer in its alliance with the United States, but rather in commercial transaction with Russia, eventually also with China, by the way.
And then NATO is an artifact of the past, long overdue to be abandoned.
Your thoughts?
Well, what NATO's done in four years of armed conflict against Russia is they disarmed NATO.
So NATO no longer has any sophisticated weapons, and all the weapons they've had have been trialed in field trials and been defeated by Russian systems.
So bottom line is NATO's a decade behind as far as technology, and now we have nothing in the way of inventory.
So NATO's no longer going to be a threat.
But we've done the same thing with our military industrial complex over in the Middle East by attacking Syria repeatedly and by attacking Iran on two separate occasions.
And we've had over 900 days of Gaza being completely surrounded and outnumbered 10 to 1 and having dumped more tons of weapons on the Gaza Strip than were dropped in all of World War II.
And they still can't defeat Hamas.
And now they're picking a fight with Hezbollah to the north.
And over the weekend, the total is now over 100 Macabah tanks have been blown up with a four-man crew and they're frying these guys inside those tanks.
So bottom line is we've got this mouse that roared that's in control of our country and they're proving to be toxic for everybody on the planet.
And they're going to get what they deserve.
Joe, I think you're right.
I think that's completely correct now.
Alistair Crooks has proven to be a very thoughtful commentator.
Here he talks about Iran's audacious strategic moves, declared missile dominance over the occupied territories and a warning of nuclear deterrence.
Let's listen to Alistair.
Well, here's actually a published article.
Should Iran be able to maintain its joke old on the Hormuz, the geopolitics of Asia could be recast in a new strategic reality?
No doubt.
As we're now in the fourth week of war, where next?
First, Iran has been subjected to intensive bombardment.
The latter's military effectiveness is far from the latter's military effectiveness is far from evident.
Iran's ability to strike back in U.S. and Israeli interests in Gulfstream countries with increasing power.
Its leadership operates effectively in its deliberately chosen opaque mode called Mosaic.
And Iran persists with regular missile and drone volleys whilst incrementally elevating the sophistication of its missile barrage.
Popular support for the Iranian state is consolidated.
The U.S. and Israel, the U.S. and Israeli barrages are causing heavy damage in Iran.
But there's little evidence that these strikes have found or destroyed Iran's dispersed and deeply buried missile cities spread across the extent of the country.
The evidence suggests rather that in failing to destroy Iran's hidden military infrastructure, the U.S. and Israel have turned their attention to civil targets aimed at demoralizing the people that we have seen deployed in the Lebanese and Palestinian arenas.
Yet, what seems incontrovertible is that Iran has a carefully thought-through strategy that is unfolding in distinct phases.
Iran's Nuclear Capacity00:10:06
Trump, however, is without a plan.
It changes daily.
Israel does have a plan, which consists in assassinating as many of the Iranian leadership as their U.S.-provided AI could detect.
Beyond that, Israel's design is for Iran to be dismembered, divided into ethnic and sectarian stateless, and reduced to weak anarchy on the Syrian model.
For now, the U.S. stated objectives show up as punctuated threats of escalation, ranging from attacks on economic infrastructure, Sao Pars gas facilities, to two meaningful hits in the very near vicinity of Iranian nuclear reactors, Nantar, and the joint Iranian-Russian-operated Bushar nuclear plant.
Presumably, these near-missile strikes are intended as messages to imply the possibility of U.S. or Israeli escalation to the nuclear level.
Iran, however, responded in kind with a missile strike on the Demona town in close proximity to Israel's Demona nuclear facility.
After the Demona strikes, it caused heavy damage.
Iran made a significant and pointed statement.
It claimed it had achieved missile dominance.
This assertion was based on the fact that Israel has been unable to launch any air defense interceptors in the face of Iran's strike against one of its most heavily guarded strategic state sites.
There is more, of course, hinting that they have a nuclear capacity.
Joe, your thoughts.
Seems to me everything favors Iran, nothing the U.S. and Israel.
The only question remaining are, is Israel going to resort to nukes?
And I'll just say if Iran has them, which I hope to be the case, they wouldn't dare.
Your thoughts?
Well, a great hour-long video with Ted Postel, MIT physics professor, who's an expert on satellites and nuclear weapons and missile defense systems.
He has an interview.
Iran already has nuclear deterrent to Israeli's nuclear strike.
And he's talking about a gun-type uranium bomb where it takes a minimum amount of uranium to get a 15-kiloton bomb.
This is the same one that we dropped on Hiroshima, but it's a fraction of the size and easily deployed with their current warheads.
And it would take three of those to completely wipe out all of Tel Aviv.
You just put them in an equilateral triangle several kilometers apart, and the blast from all three of those will cause a firestorm that will just absolutely sweep everything.
And he goes into a great amount of detail into what happens with a nuclear reaction and how easy it would be to convert 60% enriched uranium to the 90% necessary for these gun-type bombs.
It'd take like with a couple of centrifuges, it'd only take you a couple of weeks.
And so, most likely, they've already made that decision.
And putting the final components together is really simple.
When you see his video, I think it was with Greg Dyson, but I've got the, or Glenn Dyson, I've got the URL.
I will put it in the comments section.
People can.
I got it in the stories.
It's our next story.
Oh, okay.
I'm going ahead of you.
I thought you said it was the second story.
Okay, great.
Yeah, well, I had said to you it was a second, but actually, it's a third.
There we go.
Theodore Post Iran already has nuclear deterrence to Israeli nuclear strike.
Here comes lose 45 pounds and become unrecognizable by summer.
On Monday, March 30th, we start the chat.
Welcome back.
We are joined today by Theodore Postol, a professor of science, technology, and national security policy at MIT.
He's an expert in nuclear weapons delivery systems, missiles, missile defense, and has worked as an advisor at the Pentagon.
So thank you again for coming back on.
So we spoke after the U.S. and Israel had launched its first surprise attack on Iran back in June of 2025.
And at that point, you mentioned that the Iranians have probably nuclear material to build at least 10 nuclear weapons.
And they're already at a nuclear threshold state.
So it almost seems foolish, as you argue then, not to develop a nuclear deterrent, given that the U.S. and Israel will be back.
They don't even need to develop a nuclear deterrent.
They have these materials.
Let me just, you know, let me just explain a bit, if it's okay, what they have.
Let's talk about what they have, how they can use it, and then what it would look like if they retaliated after an attack by Israel, a nuclear attack on Tehran.
I think given what we have so far seen with regard to Israeli and Iranian behavior, it's my guess that the first one to use nuclear weapons, if they are going to be used, will be the Israelis.
They are far more reckless and aggressive than the Iranians have been.
That's my guess.
But the point that I think is important for all of your readers, of your audience, to understand, and I pray that there are many Israelis listening to this, is that an Israeli nuclear attack on Iran can be retaliated against.
The Iranians will be able to do it even if they have not yet built nuclear weapons.
Because the time between going ahead and building those nuclear weapons in those, remember, I just showed you those tunnels, which are everywhere.
And I'll show you equipment that could easily fit in those tunnels and be used.
And it's my guess that there's a lot of equipment of this kind already in tunnels that may or may not have been used already to build the final nuclear weapon.
But they don't have to have taken the final step.
They could be following the edict of the Ayatollah Khomeini that they should not build nuclear weapons and just have this equipment sitting there because the edict, the edict also says that if Iran is attacked and its existence is under doubt,
is under threat, then it would be justified, according to this edict, to use nuclear weapons.
So they are in a position if they have this equipment, and they do have it.
So let me just, is that, shall I just take a minute or two and then I'll tell you what they can do, what the consequences of this would be.
That's important as well.
All right.
So why should anyone understand that this the Iranians almost certainly have the ability to build nuclear weapons?
This is because they have this 60% enriched uranium hexafluoride.
I'll show you where uranium hexafluoride is.
In these canisters.
So here's a canister of uranium hexafluoride.
It's got about 50 kilograms of uranium hexafluoride and it's very rugged.
It's maybe a meter in length, so it's not big.
Weighs, the total weight is about 100, is about 50 kilograms, 100 pounds.
And it's got 25, 30 kilograms of uranium hexafluoride in it.
That's enough to give you a nuclear weapon when you take the uranium hexafluoride and you convert it to uranium metal.
All right, so how do we do that?
Well, just to show you how large these containers are, here's 10 atomic bombs worth of uranium, 60% enriched uranium hexafluoride.
That's about not quite 400 kilograms.
They have 408 kilograms.
So really they have 11.
If you do a more careful arithmetic, they can make 11 atomic bombs with this material.
Stand by.
This is fascinating stuff.
I'm so glad to have Joe here with me today.
Iran, having nuclear capability for retaliation, changes the situation militarily in a very dramatic fashion.
We'll continue with Professor Pawsome when we return this break.
And bye.

Uranium Enrichment Secrets00:14:57
We continue with Professor Postol of MIT.
Explain how Iran already has enough nuclear material to produce 10 atomic bombs that could be delivered effortlessly by their missile systems.
And Joe will provide his expert commentary as we continue with Professor Post.
Okay.
This is for 90% enriched.
These containers have 60% enriched.
So you want to convert the 60% enriched uranium hexafluoride to 90%.
Well, what you do is the reason it's uranium hexafluoride, which is a chemical substance, is because it's kind of crystal.
The uranium hexafluoride is kind of a crystal.
If this glass container contained a very small crystal, you know, a small amount of uranium hexafluoride, only that, and its temperature was maybe 100 degrees Fahrenheit, you know, 40 degrees Celsius, 50 degrees Celsius.
You would not see the crystal there.
You would only see a clear container because it would be a gas.
Uranium hexafluoride would be a dilute gas, a very thin gas.
And the reason you want it as a thin gas is you're going to put it into these what are called centrifuges.
We're not going to worry about exactly how these centrifuges work.
All we need to know is that the Iranians have these centrifuges and they know how to use them.
That's all we need to know right now.
And they have cascades of these.
This is a particular cascade.
We know this is a particular cascade of 174 centrifuges where the enriched uranium is put out, which could be 90% enriched.
Now, you would need a few weeks of time with one of these cascades to enrich the 60% gaseous uranium hexafluoride to 90% enriched uranium.
But it's still uranium hexafluoride.
So I need to convert that to metal.
Let's not worry about that.
That'll give me, we won't worry about a critical mass.
Let me just, all right, we'll worry about the other.
So what I would do is simply blow, I have a device that's the size of a large closet that would be blowing very,
very toxic high-temperature gas, hydrogen fluoride, through particles, through a gas of uranium hexafluoride.
So this is a very high temperature, very toxic materials, but you can build something that's feet in size to do this.
You have a reaction chamber, high temperature hydrogen fluoride, high temperature uranium hexafluoride.
What comes out are small particles of a green taxes was so taxic material called uranium tetrafluoride.
And that green material can be easily separated out with what's called a cyclone separator.
So all the particles precipitate out.
I take those particles, I put them into a container with lithium or calcium, and I heat the container up.
It's a high-pressure container.
The react chemical reaction occurs at some point.
I get very high temperature.
So this is a very high pressure, but it's, you know, sit on my desk here.
You wouldn't want, obviously, you'd have some vacuum, but it's not something that, you know, is a big facility.
And then what you do is the metallic uranium precipitates out.
It's heavier than the magnesium chloride or calcium chloride.
And you have this.
This is an ingot of uranium, 90% enriched uranium.
That's all doable in a tunnel.
A few hundreds of square meters of floor space is all you need.
A few hundreds of square meters.
This is not a big action.
You, of course, need baffles.
But this is the kind of equipment you know the Iranians already have this.
Then you machine it.
Now, to build a nuclear weapon, all you need to do is assemble.
You have some way.
This is a cartoon design.
In this cartoon design, you have a sphere of uranium-235, and you have two plugs of uranium-245, and a little bit of conventional explosives.
Very easy to build.
The conventional explosives drive these two sections.
It's actually not to the right scale, but it doesn't matter.
I mean, it's just a notional cartoon.
Into this sphere, creating a critical mass.
I have some material like beryllium and plutonium, which is going to generate neutrons.
And this thing will go nuclear and give me a 15-kiloton yield.
I don't need to test this.
Let me repeat that.
I do not need to test this weapon.
This weapon never needs to be tested before I use it.
So I can have 10 or 11 weapons without testing them that I can deliver with total confidence that they will work.
I can test this device with uranium, with depleted uranium to make sure that the assembly process works.
You know, so I make a few, and then once I have the device, I just assemble it with uranium, with 90% enriched uranium.
No problem at all.
The United States did this for Hiroshima.
We never tested a Hiroshima bomb.
We didn't bother.
The bomb that was tested was a Nagasaki bomb, which was made of plutonium.
The reasons you need plutonium you'd have to test is another story.
I don't need to go into that now.
All right.
So let's again step back and say, well, okay, I have 10 or 11 of these weapons.
I can build them.
I can build them within weeks.
In fact, I can potentially build them in a shorter time than a week because I may have multiple centrifuge cascades.
One of these cascades could take four or five weeks to enrich the necessary amount of 60% enriched uranium hexafluoride to get 90%.
But if I have two or three of these cascades, I can do it in a few weeks.
There's no reason that they don't have several of these cascades.
I mean, they've been building thousands of these centrifuges.
We don't know how many of them they have stashed away.
Everything wasn't necessarily in Isfahan and Fordo.
You know, we didn't have any numbers.
Toward the end, when we, the Americans, broke the treaty or the agreement we had to limit for Iran to limit its enrichment capability.
When we broke that agreement, we lost the ability to monitor their construction of centrifuges.
They said, okay, if you don't, if you're taking away the agreement, you know, we're not going to let you look at the we they let us for a long time watch the uh 60 enriched uranium, which they started to enrich after after we after Donald Trump broke the agreement.
And incidentally, Joe Biden shouldn't get off on this either, because Donald Trump broke the agreement, Biden became the president, and he didn't immediately reinstate the agreement.
I thought this viral pressure nozzle was another clean.
Joe, let me just say, Professor Postel is doing us a great service by explaining these things.
But I like your way of putting it about how effortless it would be to, for example, if Push came to show up to take up Tel Aviv with the equilateral triangular displacement, it would be devastating.
Tel Aviv has, I don't know, what, 3 million pops, something like that?
Would you estimate?
Maybe it's less.
Tehran, of course, is a huge city.
Tel Aviv, much smaller.
Your further thoughts, Joe.
Well, he goes into further detail about the after effects and the radiation sickness and all the burns and all the poisoned environment that you end up dealing with.
So we've got to avoid this at any cost.
And I don't know how to get nuclear weapons banned worldwide, but that would be a great thing to do.
And we could have done that with the fall of the Berlin Wall.
United States and Russia could have said, okay, just for shits and giggles, we're going to each have 500 nuclear bombs and that's it.
And then we're going to start disarming and we're going to start spending all of our resources on making the planet better for everybody on the planet.
And Russia would have gladly gone along with it.
And they'd have been glad to be a second-tier partner and hopefully build for the day when we'd be considered equal partners.
But we never had that attitude.
So bottom line is we've had an industrial war complex.
And even though the CFR member that benefited his whole entire life, Eisenhower, said that beware of the MIC, all he was doing is on his exit, he was washing the pontiff's pilot blood off his hands because he had been heavily involved in every bit of his career with the military-industrial complex.
And he did everything he could to prolong World War II.
So I have no respect for any military leaders in the United States currently.
And the ones in the past would be like Smedley Butler and very few, but none in the Admiral and General category.
Do you not agree that Iran having this nuclear capability transforms the equation from a military point of view?
And that if Israel were to be so reckless as Postel speculates, if anyone's going to initiate the use of nukes, it's going to be Israel, that the consequences would be devastating for Israel.
Oh, yeah, but that's the problem.
They're reckless and they've been reckless their whole 47-year existence or since 1947, 79 years of existence.
And so there's not going to be any deterrent, even if they demonstrated that they had this particular capability by setting a bomb off and saying, okay, now we've got the bomb.
Don't bomb us.
Then that still would be just, well, we better hurry up and bomb them before they get 10 bombs.
And so bottom line is there's no dealing with the Israelis.
They are maniacal race of people that have been so heavily propagandized and they're so anti-human.
And they've attacked every one of their neighbors consistently for the whole entire existence of that colony.
And they've been kicked out of hundreds of countries for that same behavior.
So, bottom line is: you're not going to modify their behavior until they get a significant loss.
And maybe that's what it's going to take is vaporizing a city or two.
Very, very disturbing.
Meanwhile, movie annihilated mass casualties as Iran hits, burns, and sinks U.S. ships.
I'm not, of course, in a position to verify everything.
Every IT leader knows this view.
A mountain standing between you and your goals.
The IRGC Revolutionary Guards Corps, they said that they carried out a composite attack or complex attack targeting the Zionist and American terrorists in a Sheikh port, as well as the coast of Port Dubai, where American soldiers and their tactical equipment were precisely struck within wave 84.
The operation was executed using ballistic and cruise missiles of the Qadr 380 type.
Six American combat landing craft of the LCU type were targeted in the Al-Sheikh port.
Three of them sank after being hit, while the rest are ablaze.
We targeted the gathering centers of the U.S. Army drone unit officers on the coast and one of Dubai's hotels with loitering drones, and they were precisely struck.
The operation resulted in the sinking of the tactical boats and killing a large number of Americans.
That is officially coming now from Iran.
That means Trump already made the deployment.
They're talking about extension.
They're trying to play this game.
Iran is aware of this whole game and it's already happening.
The United States is deploying secretly.
Well, they said they might, but they sent some troops clearly already.
And now it's happening.
They're actually sending troops.
Let's hear some of the reports that spoke about this.
I mean, if you haven't been familiar with it, because there were multiple numbers being spoken about.
This was one of the reports here about the United States and Marco Rubio.
Secret Troop Deployments00:04:43
Of course, talking about de-escalation, but they are, you know, pathological liars.
You can't believe these people.
He believed the United States could achieve its goals of Iran without grand troops.
Despite reports from the Wall Street Journal, that Donald Trump is considering sending another 10,000 troops to the Middle East where they could be sent within striking distance of the Kharg Island, a key oil export hub off in the Persian Gulf.
Mind you, many in the United States establishment warned Trump from trying to occupy the Khark Island because he would in effect be making any American soldiers there literally hostages, a death trap, because they will be surrounded by Iran.
Iran would be able to kill and kidnap as many as they want.
And there's no way out of it.
No amount of arrogance or anything will get them out of that mud.
Yet clearly he's trying to do that.
And the UAE is also playing a part because they recently said that they're willing to participate in any sort of coalition.
I'm not sure if some of the Gulf states are trying to use maybe the UAE as a front and see how that goes.
Maybe they would participate too.
But that is the situation that we have.
Now, all of this is coming as well.
And we're going to get back to the developments on the ground because I'm going to talk to you now about Yemen as well.
There was a statement from Ansarullah in Yamanaba potentially, or the participation in general.
But in relation to this escalation happening now, Trump is having these conflicting statements, as usual.
Israel is targeting whatever it wants to target, bombing the complex of the Pakistani embassy, booming Iran's nuclear facilities, some of the strategic ones too.
And despite all of this nonsense from Donald Trump, they're doing whatever they want.
They're playing a game between them.
And again, there is no difference here between the Epstein regime and the Zionist regime.
Two sides to the same coin.
I think he's got that right too, Joe.
Any thoughts you want to add?
Go right ahead.
I think putting troops on the ground in Iran, on the islands, or elsewhere is a suicide mission.
They've been preparing for this for 30 years, Joe.
They're very sophisticated.
They know what they're doing.
Trump has no idea what he's up against.
Your thoughts?
Yeah, well, Senator Limpy Graham, who was in the chair force, he was just basically sitting in a chair during his whole time in service of the United States military as a lawyer.
So he has absolutely no military background, but he says, I trust the Marines.
Look at what the Marines did in Iwo Jimo.
Yeah, well, let's go ahead and look at what the Marines did in Iwo Jima.
February 19th, 1945 to March 26, 1945, 26,000 casualties.
Okinawa, April 1st to June 22nd, 50,000 U.S. casualties.
Are we prepared to have those level of casualties?
Because they didn't have man pads to shoot down airplanes.
So we had air cover on both of those events.
And they didn't have the drones coming in and attacking.
Then they had kamikazes that would attack the ships.
But bottom line is we're looking at a casualty count that would within weeks top what we had in Vietnam.
He's got 50,000 new troops that he's added to the theater.
And we already had 50,000 over there.
So already we're targets for enough of military violence.
And it's just absolutely insane that these people keep saying that we should continue and do ground invasions.
That's so 19th century, man.
It's like aircraft carriers.
It's like the Maginot line and battleships were in the 30s.
This is going to protect us from future wars because nobody will be able to attack us because we have the best trench system.
And the Germans just overflew it with parachuters and ran around the ends going through Belgium.
And then battleships, the Japanese proved that battleships were worthless.
So we didn't build any more battleships after that.
So bottom line is we've got admirals and generals who are always fighting the last war.
And unfortunately, they don't remember that we haven't won a war since World War II.
Yeah, no, I think that's exactly right.
Battleships Fighting Last War00:10:11
Meanwhile, we have Iran threatening to close a second strait.
Iran is escalating its pressure campaign against U.S. and allies by threatening to disrupt a second global shipping lane, raising concerns about energy security and the world economy as President Donald Trump seeks to end the conflict.
Theyran has already rattled markets by targeting the straight Armuz.
Officials are now signaling that the Bob-el-Mohandab Strait, a Red Sea pass each way, could be next if negotiations fail.
According to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps affiliated, Tasman News Agency, the narrow corridor handles about 10% of global oil and natural gas shipments, serves as a key link between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
An Iranian military source warned that the U.S. or Israel expands strikes on Iranian infrastructure, Tehran would open other fronts.
Bab al-Mundab raising the stakes.
The threat underscores Iran's reliance on asymmetrical tactics, using broccoli forces such as Yemen-based Houthi rabbals to offset U.S. military superiority.
But of course, analysis say the Houthis, already responsible for attacks on commercial vessels, could move to block the straight with missiles and drones.
Such a move would have sweeping consequences.
Experts say closing Bab al-Mandeb would push oil prices as high as $150 a barrel, compounding inflation and economic strain worldwide.
The global shipping industry is taking notice.
Major firms avoiding the region amidst growing fears of attack.
Despite these threats, the Trump administration approach, pursuing negotiations while signaling military readiness.
Joe, so far as I can tell, there are no negotiations.
Iran has already made it clear they're not negotiating with the United States.
What have they got to negotiate about?
Not only that, but from past experience, you can't, they know you can't negotiate with the Americans.
In the middle of negotiation, not once, but twice, they launched attacks on Iran.
So what the hell is there?
What would be the point of negotiation?
Joe, I think we forfeited our credibility.
And it's not just going to persist for Iran, but worldwide.
Nations are going to know they cannot trust the word of the United States.
It is meaningless.
Yeah, well, the same thing happened in Ukraine with the Minsk agreement and then with the Istanbul Agreement.
Trump's jerked Putin around enough times that now Putin knows that you can't deal with the cushy and witchmire bait and switch, that all it is is just delay tactics.
And then certainly Iran has learned their lesson permanently.
So that's going to be pretty much over.
Now, getting back to the tankers going through the Hormut Straits, the average super tanker is 2 million barrels of oil.
And February 28th, that oil was $65 a barrel.
Today it's $120 a barrel.
So you try to do the math on how much that boat is worth, number one.
And number two, who's caused this inflation?
Who's shut down the Home Road Strait?
That would be Trump and Nutty Yahoo.
Who's driven up the price of crude oil by 100%?
That would be Nutty Yahoo and Trump.
This is a failed government on both sides of the Atlantic on this thing, and both of these governments need to fall.
Nutia Yahoo never had more than 27% popular support.
He rules by coalition.
His Likud party is very unpopular.
They suppress anything in the way of information about what actual damage is being done inside Israel.
You go to jail for five years if you just put a post of a missile hitting the ground.
It's absolutely insane.
So, this is an absolutely 100% propagandized, self-titled, self-chosen tribe of people that needs to be taught a lesson, but we just don't need the whole world to suffer while they learn their lesson.
So, we don't need to nuclear cloud the whole planet just to teach these folks what God told them in Genesis 19 about Sodom and Gomorrah.
We got sodomites now that are being taught a lesson with true promise for Joe.
Trump allowed Net Yahoo to persuade him to pull out of the joint comprehensive plan of action, which was working perfectly.
International Atomic Energy Inspectors on the ground.
Iran was adhering scrupulously to every requirement.
But Net Yahoo didn't like it because it took away his argument that RAN was about to develop nuclear weapons.
So, to preserve his argument, because he wanted to attack Iran, he had Trump withdraw.
What a calamity.
If Trump had not withdrawn, we couldn't have had the argument.
We wouldn't be there now.
What a colossally stupid decision.
We'll be right back with Joe Olson and the war in Iran.

So here you have Secretary of State Marco Rubio telling the G7 foreign minister Friday that the war with Iran is expected to continue for another two to four weeks.
According to three sources with direct knowledge of the meeting, he also signaled the U.S. could be nearing serious negotiate with Tehran, even as he had many ways to escalate military options while deploying additional troops to the region.
The U.S. expect the war to end within weeks, not months.
He said during a press gangle after the meeting in France.
Joe, the only way that could happen is if the U.S. agreed to withdraw all American forces and bases from the Middle East and pay reparation to Iran for the damage done.
I mean, there's no other way there's going to be any solution to this problem.
And the longer it goes, this is, in my opinion, the great advantage Iran holds.
All Iran has to do is survive.
There's no possible way the U.S. is going to be able to control the straight up horror moves and thereby Iran has leverage over the entire world.
And I believe pressure will be put on the United States that it has to withdraw.
Has to accede to Iran's demands.
Less catastrophe, which is growing, envelop the entire world.
Your thoughts?
Yeah well, Iran has tried to play by the rules for a long time and that treaty that they signed with under Obama, that Trump said was such a bad treaty and he was going to negotiate a better one, so he rejected it.
That was enforced by the IAEA and those UN inspectors went in and they gave the names of all of the Iranian scientists.
They gave the locations and the equipment data to the Mossad and that's what they do used for their targeting to destroy Iran in their first strikes back in on Friday, the 13th of last June.
So bottom line is they know that there's nobody they can trust in the, in the UN, to be an enforcer, so they're just going to do their own enforcement.
They know they've gotten the United States beat.
Trump doesn't have to say he's pulling out of those bases.
Every one of those bases has been destroyed and every bit of the infrastructure that made those bases sustainable has been destroyed and it'd take a decade to rebuild all of the stuff that it's taken four or five decades to build out.
So all of those Gulf Uh Coast cooperative uh countries are all going to be overthrown, because all of them are puppet regimes that were set up by the British to create monarchs over there that would be easily controlled, and they have been.
So bottom line is the whole, the whole Middle East is going to be embroiled.
Joe, i'm simply appalled by your point that the international inspectors gave Israel the names of the Iranian scientists so they could assassinate.
I mean that's just appalling.
I mean it, it that puts nuts in my stomach.
I have no doubt you're exactly right.
What a grotesque abuse this is.
This is appalling.
That's, that's the Kosher Nostra Way, kids.
Oh god damn, it's just horrible, horrible.
Israel's Assassination Program00:14:38
Meanwhile, Andrew Cochburn talks about the Mossad kill list.
How thematic.
Beware the mattress.
This is from the London Review Of Books Operation Wrath Of God, the secret history of European intelligence and Mossad's assassination campaign by Aviva Gutman, Cambridge 2025.
The killing of Ayatoll Al-khomeini, along with a number of other leading officials, in the first few hours of the Iran war, has confirmed that assassination is a routine tool of Israeli policy.
Over the past two years, Israel successfully targeted the military potential leadership of Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis, serially eliminating officials almost as soon as they step into the shoes of their murdered predecessors.
The targets don't have to be high-profile figures.
Last October, an Israeli airstrike in northern Lebanon killed two engineers, Aman Saad and Mustafa Ricks, employees of a development organization run by Hezbollah, who are on their way to assess war damage to buildings and infrastructure.
as part of an ongoing strategy to target not only Hezbollah's military arm, but its civilian functionaries, an approach assiduously deployed against civilian infrastructure in Gaza, down to workers trying to repair the devastated water system.
For Israel, it seems, there is no political problem that can't be solved, at least in part, by the elimination of individuals.
The first group known for deploying assassination as a key instrument of political strategy was the medieval Ismali sect known as the Assassins, who for centuries successfully targeted rulers across the Middle East until they were ultimately crushed by the Mongols.
Political murder never went entirely out of fashion.
It was favored by groups such as the Social Revolutionaries in Tsarist Russia, also used by militant Zionist organizations in Palestine, notably the Ergun and Lehi, which targeted British officials and others who stood in the war of the nascent Israeli state.
Among their victims was Count Folka Bernadette, the Swedish diplomat who was UN mediator, drafted a peace plan deemed unacceptably favorable to the Palestinians.
He was duly gunned down in September 1948 in the order of one of lefti's leaders, Yitzhak Shamir, who was subsequently recruited to take charge of Osad's first targeted killing squad.
Emerging later from the shadow of centered politics, he rose to the ranks of Lukid, becoming foreign minister in 1980 and prime minister three years later.
When Shamir met UN official Brian Euberhart for the first time, he greeted him warmly.
I'm so happy to meet you, he said.
I've never dealt with the UN before.
Oh, but you have foreign minister, replied, you dealt with Count Bernadette, did you not?
Amid many fits and starts, the Israeli assassination program became steadily more elaborate and ambitious.
For the proposed elimination of single senior Palestinian fighter, Iyad Batat, in the West Bank in 1999, according to French Israeli journalist Ronan Bergman, commanders assemble a joint force consisting of no fewer than nine separate security agencies and units.
In Rise and Call 1, 2018, his encyclopedic history of the program, Berger reports that by the year 2000, Israel had launched some 500 targeted killing operations.
By the time the book came out in 2018, it had conducted 800 more.
My God, Jiao.
Israel's use of assassination and revert policy tool has long been recognized, even celebrated in fiction.
Example in John Lecare's A Little Drummer Girl of 1983, featuring an Israelis by master, devious and successful plot to kill a Palestinian terrorist.
And remember, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
One operation in particular caught the popular imagination, the hunting down of the perpetrators of the massacre at the 1972 Olympics in Munich.
11 members of the Israeli Olympic team were taken hostage and killed by a militant Palestinian group calling itself Black September.
Most of the hostages died during a staggeringly inept rescue attempt by the German police in response.
Israeli Prime Minister Golid Beyer authorized Mossad to eliminate the organizers of the attack, a covert campaign called Operation Wrath of God.
Beginning with the shooting of a young Palestinian, Whale Water, as he walked up the stairs to his apartment in Rome, the hit team killed nine people over the course of the next two years.
Some were gunned down in the street, other dispatched by bombs, planted in homes or cars.
Wow.
Wow.
In July 1973, our Mossad assassin shot a man in Norway whom they believed to be one of Munich's chief planners, Alessan Salama.
In fact, the victim was a Moroccan writer, waiter, Ahmad Buchiki, who had been living peacefully in Lillehammer for the previous nine years and was killed as he walked home from his cinema with his Norwegian wife, who was seven months pregnant.
Passerby knew the license plate of the getaway car.
The killers didn't immediately ban it because one of them had been out buying kitchen appliances for his new house near Tel Aviv and didn't want to leave him behind.
The next day, members of the team were apprehended at the airport by Norwegian police.
One of them, it turned out, was acutely claustrophobic and soon to start talking after being taken into a windowless room for questioning.
Others were carrying fake passports, compromising material that led to the exposure of Osad operations across Europe.
Despite this fiasco, the reputation of Israeli intelligence only gained in luster.
Operation Wrath of God became a staple and printed on screen.
Tome and Stephen Spielberg's 2005 movie, Munich, nominated for five Academy Awards.
Now, Joe, let me say, I've always rather thought that the Munich, that the Olympic shooting was actually a Mossadop to blame it on Arabs.
But maybe, I mean, this seems like a very authoritative article.
Maybe I'm mistaken.
It really was some kind of, you know, Black September was a real Arab terrorist organization.
Your thoughts, all of the above.
Yeah, well, they've got a long history because it's nothing but a criminal syndicate.
The mobs were taken over in the United States in the 30s with the alcohol, the Italian mobs, and they all ended up working underneath the Jewish mobs that were the overall group.
And guess what?
When Giuliani went in and busted the five families in New York City, he didn't bust a single Jewish person.
He busted all of the muscle that was underneath them.
So that's how that little game worked.
But an interesting book on the history of international police and international, let's see, what would be extradition killings is a book that I read called The World That Never Was by Alex Butterworth.
He was a graduate student in the UK, and he went to Scotland Yard and said, I'm writing a research paper for my thesis on the history of Scotland Yard.
Can I come and look at your archives?
And they said, sure.
And so he went in every day for like 10 to 12 hours a day for years and took notes in Scotland Yard.
And nobody paid any attention to him.
He found out all the information about how they had created Interpol and GCHQ and all the other intel agencies and all of the things that they did to frame people.
At that time, there was several movements, the Commune Movement and the God, mind like a steel trap.
You're telling me Mossad created Interpol?
No, this was created 100 years before Mossad, but that's what they used as a.
And GCHQ, I mean, that's a British command center.
Yeah, that's the domestic surveillance group and enforcement group in the UK, along with MI5.
MI6 is their international group.
But yeah.
Yeah.
The commune and what was the other group?
Anarchists.
Yeah, the commune and the anarchist movements in Europe.
And they were basically like tea parties.
They said, look, we're tired of the monarchs ripping us off, never paying any taxes, sending us constantly to war.
We're constantly being drafted and killed.
And so they wanted to have some voice in their government and have something in the way of a democracy, sort of like the United States happen.
So this was in the mid-19th century.
Well, by 1870, it got to the point where they were doing public demonstrations.
And in Paris, in the summer of 1870, French troops went in and massacred 30,000 protesters on the streets of Paris.
And you never heard about that in any of your history books.
Absolutely shameful.
But what they did is they captured the leaders of these groups.
They framed them.
They did extrajudicial trials and killings.
And all this stuff was in the Scotland Yard archives.
And the guy had all the names and the dates and the judges that were involved in this and who the executioners were.
Absolutely incredible.
He got all this information out of the Scotland Yard before they realized that they left the door open.
But yeah, that's pretty incredible that they were able to stigmatize a movement that was a populist movement the same way that Obama stigmatized the Tea Party movement.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, fascinating.
Yeah, fascinating stuff, Joe.
Love it, love it, love it.
Meanwhile, people forget how the Shah of Iran came to power.
This is really important.
It was Iran.
They were.
Our number one ally in the Middle East.
People don't know that.
Right now, we say Israel is our only ally in the Middle East.
We had the largest embassy ever in Tehran.
We ran the CIA headquarters out of Tehran.
CIA headquarters for all of the Middle East and Asia was all based out of Iran.
That's how close we were with them.
Now, what happened?
They had a prime minister, Mohamed Mossadegh, in 1952.
Mossadegh nationalized their oil and said, all of this oil belongs to Iran.
Great Britain had been mining and pumping most of their oil.
The United States, CIA, and MI6 did a joint venture called Operation Ajax.
We got rid of Mossadegh and we took him out of power.
In his place was Mohammed Shah Pahlavi.
Thanking the U.S. for getting him back into power, signed over 40% of the royal field to the U.S. and Great Britain, 40%.
40%.
Think about if somebody signed over 40% of American farmland to another country.
Americans would be pissed.
It was Iran.
They were our number one ally in the Middle East.
People don't know.
And Iran, of course, was justifiably pissed.
Well, when you hear American history in relation to Iran in 1979, when the popular uprising overthrew the Shah and reestablished the Islamic Republic and established the Islamic Republic with the supreme leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, as the ultimate authority.
And it's presented in the United States as though Iran struck the first blow.
Any acknowledgement or mention of the fact that we had executed Q in 1953 that had deposed the democratically elected government of Iran.
I mean, Joe, it is so insulting the way the American people are played.
It's so basic.
It's so crude.
It's reminiscent of JFK when you got acting press secretary Michael Palzov comes out and announces his death, says it was a simple matter of a bullet right through the head while pointing to his right temple.
And yet later that evening, you have the FBI and the Secret Service agreeing there were only three shots from above and behind.
I mean, good God, how blatant can the contradictions get?
Your thoughts.
Yeah, well, guess who was in charge of that Operation Ajax?
That would be Franklin D. Roosevelt's son, Kermit Roosevelt.
Oh, it was Theodore, Theodore's cousin, Kermit.
Oh, it was Kermit.
Cuba Next on List00:06:06
Oh, okay.
It was his cousin.
Okay.
All right.
Anyhow, it's a Roosevelt.
So, yeah.
Yeah, part of the same crime family.
Yeah, so bottom line is we've been tampering with every government.
And the Ayatollah that had tried to rise up in 1953, we moved to a safe house in Iraq, and we kept him there until the Iraq war broke out.
And then we moved him to a safe house in Paris.
And then when we decided it was time to overthrow the Shah, we moved him back to Iran.
So bottom line is, yeah, we've been diddling around with these people for a century.
Yes, we've been very abusive of Iran.
And look at what we have now, Joe.
Now we have reset an historic reset where Iran is doing its thing.
And I got to say, I'm just very, very impressed with how well Iran has been handling itself militarily, politically, and otherwise, Joe, with dignity, with honor, with decorum, with enormous courage.
I'm so very impressed.
Meanwhile, Trump says Cuba is going to be next.
I mean, what's going on with this guy?
Is he out of his effing mind?
Honest to God.
Trump says Cuba next in speech touting military successes.
You know, President Donald Bridge said Cuba is next.
His speech had an investment forum in Miami during which he touted the success of U.S. military inaction in Venezuela and Iran.
Well, President Donnie specified what President plans to do with the island nation.
It's frequently said he believes the government in Havana, facing a severe economic crisis, is on the verge of collapse, to which I add, because of U.S. sanctions and manipulation, I take it we've even taken out their electrical grid, Joe.
His administration has opened up negotiation with elements of Cuba's leadership in recent weeks.
Well, Trump himself has hinted that kinetic action, that means military force, could be possible.
I built a great military.
I said you'll never have to use it, but sometimes you have to use it.
And Cuba is next, by the way.
Trump told a conference on Friday.
But pretend I didn't say that.
Pretend I didn't.
Joe, I just find all this warmongering just embarrassing, insulting, betrayal, a form of betrayal.
This was a guy who claimed as a candidate he was going to end all these wars.
He was a peace candidate.
He was going to end the Ukraine war in 24 hours.
Instead, he's done the opposite, continue to buy the weapons, the money necessary to continue the genocide of the Palestinians, providing weapons now, even if selling to NATO first.
But American generals, as you heard, are conducting the operation against Russia.
Now, the new war against Iran is proving to be our undoing.
It is a catastrophe for the United States.
So what is Trump doing talking about Cuba?
And what right did we have to kidnap the president Venezuela?
Joe?
These are grotesque abuses of power.
Yeah, definitely are.
And we'll get to the morality of the Palestinians in just a second.
But Trump had four years to exit Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
He did nothing.
Instead, he bombed with 60 Tomahawk missiles, Syria in 2017, and with 100 Tomahawk missiles in 2018.
He gave Zelensky $60 million, including javelin anti-tank and anti-helicopter weapons in 2017.
And then he gave him $400 million in 2020 when he thought he was going to be impeached because of false testimony by the Bidman gang.
And so bottom line is, yeah, he had plenty of time to do the right thing.
And he could have walked in on January 21st and said, okay, no more funding for Gaza.
You've got to stop massacring people there.
And no more funding for Zelensky.
You've got to quit massacring Eastern Orthodox Christians, which are the only ones fighting in Ukraine.
It's the Ukraine Orthodox against the Russian Orthodox.
And it's actually staged by the Jewish leadership of both those countries.
Absolutely disgusting.
But getting back to the morality of the people in the Middle East, Hamas had plenty of opportunity when they would take snipers and they would had redirected unexploded municipal bombs and stuff, munitions that they had dug out of their rubble and used them against the IDF tanks and soldiers.
And when the helicopters would come in or the ambulances would come in to pick up the crews, they had plenty of capability of shooting ambulance crews, but they never did.
They never took down a medical helicopter and they never blew up ambulances.
And the IDF constantly blew up hospitals and ambulances and anything that had to do with health care.
So bottom line is, who are the monsters in this planet?
Just look at the way they conduct savage warfare against a tiny little neighbor that's five miles wide and 25 miles long, and they've been bobbing the hell out of them for over 900 days.
It's absolutely insane that this is not recognized by everybody on the planet for what it really is.

Charlie Kirk Connections00:14:44
He heard them go off and felt himself stepping over dead people.
The U.S. Geological Survey conducted studies of dust gathered from 35 locations in lower Manhattan and found elements that would not have been there had this not been a nuclear event.
Ironically, that means the government's own evidence contradicts the government's official position.
9-11 was brought to us compliments of the CIA, the neocons of the Department of Defense, and the Masan.

And now we return you to your host.
Well, Joe, I don't know how much you've looked at the Charlie Kirk saga.
It's really very complicated.
But there's a very odd development here where Turning Point is somehow going after Joe Kent, who is, of course, our second highest in National Intelligence Agency, which Tulsi Diracs as our counterterrorism expert.
I was completely floored when Joe Kent resigned and explained this was an unjustified war.
We were doing it for the benefit of Israel.
And then Trump tries to trash him, saying he liked the guy, but he was weak on national security.
Well, if he's weak on national security, what is he doing as the second highest counterterrorism expert?
Arguably the most important national security position in the American government.
And Trump is responsible for him being there.
I mean, give me a break.
So let's take a look at what turning going on with Turning Point.
It's very odd.
If you've been injured in an accident, put a powerful law firm on your side.
call hubi and abraham all right let's get into this tp usa story because this is really interesting um so So a while back, you know, after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, right?
There was a statement from Andrew Colvett on Charlie Kirk's show.
And he said that, yes, there was a group chat text, and he said that he had sent that information to someone who worked for the government, the federal government.
But he never told us who that person was.
Now it is being revealed that Joe Kent is in the mix of this too.
Now, Joe Kent is the guy who just resigned from the counterterrorism unit under the Trump administration.
He said that he cannot support the war with Iran because he said that Iran is not a threat.
Well, apparently he was in the midst of all this too.
Now, remember, Joe Kent is one of the people that said that he wanted to investigate Charlie Kirk's murder a little bit more.
He wanted to see if there was any type of foreign involvement in this murder, right?
But Kash Patel and the FBI said, no, There's nothing else to see here.
Now we are getting information that those text messages, that screenshot image of Charlie Kirk basically saying that he was changing his position on Israel that Andrew Colvet had was sent to none other than Joe Kent.
Let's get into it, guys.
This is crazy.
Nathan said this here.
Was Joe Kent Candace Owens mole in the U.S. government feeding her information about the Charlie Kirk investigation?
Let's take a look at these videos side by side here, folks.
Robinson is a lone gunman, and maybe he is, but the investigation that I was a part of, the National Counterterrorism Center was a part of, we've been told that this individual, Robinson, is a lone gunman, and maybe he is.
But the investigation that I was a part of, the National Counterterrorism Center was a part of, we were stopped from continuing to investigate.
There's still linkage for us to investigate.
Because I'm very aware of what's going on.
Okay.
About 48 hours before Charlie Kirk died, Charlie informed people at Turning Points, as well as Jewish donors and a rabbi that he had no choice but to abandon the pro-Israel cause outright.
Okay.
Charlie was done.
He said it explicitly that he refused to be bullied anymore by the Jewish donors.
We know the pressure because of the text message, text messages that have been made public, that Charlie was under a lot of pressure from a lot of pro-Israel donors.
He knew and others knew that Charlie was done with Israel bullying him.
And I'm now going to present you proof of what I am saying.
This is an actual group chat, which happened two days before Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
You know, that was a text grab, a screen grab that I had shared with people.
So it is authentic, but I did share it with some people in government.
We wanted no stone unturned.
We wanted to leave nothing unturned.
So I shared it with a few people.
Don't know where it went from there, apparently.
So I says he.
So that was that clip there from Andrew Colvett when he said that he shared that information with people in government.
And it turns out one of the people that he shared it with was Joe Kent.
And from there, apparently?
So I say saying that Joe Kent, the former director of the United States National Counterterror Center, this is from Semaphore.
He just resigned.
He's now under FBI investigation for allegedly leaking classified information.
And the investigation predates his departure.
That was a text grab that I had shared with some people in government.
The part right there that is so important for people to pay attention to was the part when we covered this when he had resigned, that the FBI was investigating him.
And they said the investigation is prior to his resignation.
So the investigation, it seems like, basically was revolving around these text messages and the fact that he wanted to look further into Charlie Kirk's assassination.
This is the part that really hits home, right?
You see, they kind of like spilled the beans there when Laura Ingram said the investigation is prior to his resignation, not because of his resignation.
So what happened prior to his resignation?
This whole back and forth screen sharing here between Andrew Colvitt and Joe Kent.
So he wanted to look into this further and the FBI said no.
And now he's investigated by the FBI.
What is better for podcasting, Zoom or Riverside?
Let's find out.
Okay, my microphone.
The podcast support podcast.
What's the problem?
We know the pressure because of the text messages.
I'm now going to present you proof.
This is an actual group chat.
It gives me great pleasure to announce that Joe Kent, I'm going to be interviewing him this Thursday at the Catholics for Catholics event in DC.
So that should be interesting.
So it sounds like Candace is going to be talking to him.
So a lot more is going to come out, folks.
So once again, we have to remind you, Andrew Colvitt only came public and said, yes, that is from a group text.
I shared that information with someone in, you know, the federal government.
He only did that because Candace shared the group text, like on her show.
Remember, they said she was lying.
And so the next show, she came back and she said, look, here's the evidence.
So then he had to admit it.
That's.
Joe, let me just say there's so many aspects to this Charlie Kirk thing.
And by the way, for those who may not know, I'm convinced that the Charlie Kirk shooting was a staged event using CGI.
The wound moves around on his neck.
The blood is never absorbed into his shirt.
It actually reverses flow.
That's because they're putting a screen over the original video.
And you got the wound on the screen that doesn't correspond to the body moving in the original video.
Plus, turns out the day after the shooting, ABC on George Stapodov has played a video.
Supposed to be the crowd rushing away from the event.
But turns out the crowd is only like about a third of the size of the crowd actually there during the event.
And if you look carefully, you see the tent is empty.
It's a rehearsal video for the crisis actors and the crowd, how they're supposed to react.
And they played it on ABC.
Joe, it's just stunning.
Plus, Erica Kirk.
Erica Kirk appears to me to be total fraud.
She appears to me to be some kind of covert operative.
They say that she's turning, you know, turning point USA into a mini-APAC.
And I suspect that's exactly right, that that's her role.
Your thoughts, Joe, all of the above.
Yeah, well, she's definitely got a questionable pass.
And, you know, like Stalin said, the death of one man is a tragedy.
The death of a million people is a statistic.
So we can dwell on Charlie Kirk.
But interestingly, there was an interview with dear good friend Colleen Rowley on Redacted.
And it was about a 45-minute long interview.
And she was talking about Zakaris Masari, but she's really softened her stance.
I saw her first probably around 2006 or 7, something like that, when she first went public about the arrest of hijacker number 20.
And Clayton Morris is like, I never heard of any of this.
Well, if you bothered studying 9-11, you would know a whole bunch about this.
But she ended up watered down everything she told him because I think she's gotten the message from the FBI.
Well, you can make a little bit of noise, but don't really turn state's evidence against us because we can still snuff you and all your family.
So bottom line is she did a pretty watered down version.
But one of the things she mentioned was that there was a wall that was placed between the CIA and the FBI and they weren't allowed to share their data.
And we know who put that wall in.
It was Assistant Attorney General Jamie Corlick, who was also put on the 9-11 commission to make sure that none of the evidence got out the same way they did with the Warren Commission.
Absolute 100% sham.
3,000 Americans died that day, and it ended up causing deaths in the Middle East of several million.
So bottom line is, yeah, we got a real problem with a certain tribe that does this kind of stuff.
And JD Gorlick is a nice little Jewish girl.
What's fascinating is Charlie had wandered off the Zionist reservation.
He talked about having been in Israel, having visited the wall, that there's no way the story of Hamas breaking through made any sense.
He's saying he no longer could support the genocide.
He was saying he couldn't stand Benjamin and Yahoo.
And all that was coming out.
He was confiding in Candace, in Tucker, in Clayton.
So, you know, the motives, as I understand it, Bibi gave him a choice between silver and lead.
He was going to put $150 million to turning point if he'd come back on the Zionist reservation or confront the alternative.
So rather than face assassination, he faked it.
And I mean, the proof, in my opinion, is overwhelming.
More to come, more to come.
But the fact is that even though he staged it and everyone thinks Israel did it, I welcome that because it makes the public scrutinize Israel and its role in American politics all the more.
So we've reached a point where candidates are receiving support because they're denying they're taking any money from APAC.
So APAC is becoming an object of vilification, not soon enough, but better late than never.
Joe.
Yeah, I'm looking through my notes on the things that we haven't covered yet.
And I don't think we covered the criminal testimony in Nutty Yahoo's crime case in Israel, which is why all this stuff's going on because as long as he's in a war, he can't be indicted.
So he's been doing nothing but constant war.
And this is a little 15-minute clip that Tucker put together.
If this comes out, we're toast.
And it talks about a Hollywood producer named Arnon Milchin, M-I-L-C-H-E-N, who's given Nutty Yahoo $250,000 worth of gifts over the years.
And then also, there's an interesting report coming out from Qatar that they were requested by Nutty Yahoo to provide $50 million a month in payments to Hamas so that Nutty Yahoo would be able to keep Hamas active enough that they would be able to resist the Palestinian authority.
Funding Hamas Survival00:07:07
And he was also giving a similar amount to Palestinian authorities so he could keep them aggravated against Hamas.
And over the weekend, the Jews blocked the entrances to the Church of the Sifika in Bethlehem.
And they wouldn't allow people to go to mass there on Palm Sunday.
And so that ended up being a little bit of a scandal.
And so I looked it up on Wiki about Christians in Palestine that were being persecuted by the Jews.
And all it said in Wiki was that, no, they're being persecuted by Arabs.
And it's the Arab Palestinians that are trying to throw the Christians out after they lived together for 2,000 years and they have the same common enmity, the Jews.
And guess what?
If you've got enough money coming from Nutty Yahoo to buy off Hamas and Palestinian authority, you can certainly get people to go out in the street and throw rocks and chase the Christians out of there.
So bottom line is 80% of Bethlehem was Christian in 1947, and only about 10% is Christian now, and even worse in Syria.
Yes.
You got to wonder why the Zion Christians support these people because they will absolutely tell you that they hate Christians and that Jesus is boiling an excrement.
And that he deserves to be in hell and that if they had the chance to kill him over again, they would crucify him all over again because they hate every tribe on the planet except themselves.
Yeah, it is bizarre.
In the extreme, Joe, bizarre.
And what they were using, what they were using Turning Point USA for is that they wanted to recruit a thousand Christian ministers and take them over there and indoctrinate them into the Schofield Bible version of things where they're supposed to worship the Jews as the chosen people.
So that's what they were trying to do.
Here's a story that confirms.
Netanyahu was all the time helping Hamas to survive.
He arranged for Hamas to receive $35 million every month from Qatar.
Suitcases of money was given to Hamas under the request of Benjamin Netanyahu personally.
And because the Qatarians knew him from the beginning, they were asking him to send them his requests because they knew that he's going to lie in the future.
He allowed more than one billion to be transferred to the hands of the Hamas because he believed that he can control the level of hatred.
Your strategy was sustain the extremists, weaken the moderate.
This exploded in our faces in the most brutal way on October 7th.

Pretty fascinating stuff, Joe.
Pretty fascinating stuff.
I think your point about Bibi that he can't be prosecuted as long as there's a war going on gives him a tremendous personal incentive for war to go on.
You know, the chief judge in his prosecution case died in a mysterious automobile accident.
And bear in mind, modern cars can be controlled by having their computers accessed remotely.
And it looks like, you know, Bibi had him taken out.
And of course, he'd have multiple motives.
The judge appeared to be incapable of corruption, incorruptible.
And he was going forward with a prosecution.
And Bibi, no doubt, at the very least, felt he'd get an extension temporarily if the judge was to die and had to be replaced.
Your thoughts?
Yeah, well, the Hannibal directive is that anytime it looks like an Israeli is going to be captured by an opposing force, kill the Israelis so you don't have to have a hostage situation where you need to trade for prisoners.
So that's the way they operate.
And turns out on October 7th, over a third of the deaths that were resulted in Israeli population were Hannibal directed.
They were killed by hellfire missiles that the Hamas never had access to.
So they were killed by 50 caliber machine guns that the Hamas had access to 50 caliber barrets, but they couldn't fire more than one round at a time.
So bottom line is, yeah, it's a complete lie.
And guess what?
The day after they bombed the crap out of Iran on February 28th, they waited a day.
And then on March 2nd, they started bombing the hell out of Lebanon and invading.
And that's where they've been caught so far.
They've had their tanks trapped and had over 100 macabre chains burned.
And as far as we're not getting the proper death toll on what's already happened to us in the Middle East on this escapade that Trump's been involved in, reports from Iran are that over 500 American servicemen, and they're doing that based on ambulances going to the sites where they blew up our military facilities and also from reports of planes that have been blown up.
And every time that one of the planes crashes, it's like, well, they had an accident.
One of the other planes ran into them.
Yeah, sure.
So bottom line is that we're being lied to about the casualties on our side.
And certainly the people in Israel are being lied to about the casualties on their side because everything is like it landed in an open field and one woman was injured.
Yeah, okay, whatever.
You can pictures of it.
Yeah.
Uranian missiles are very precise.
They hit their intended targets.
So, you know, where do you think it's going to go from here, Joe?
Give me your thoughts.
Well, I hope we don't end up with a ground invasion, but maybe it's going to take 5,000 dead Americans before we rise up and overthrow these tyrants that we've got running our country.
No New Wars Pledge00:02:18
But I'm under no illusions.
I voted for Trump twice just because I thought he might live up to his promise in 2016.
And I voted for him in 2020 because Kamala Harris was like, I mean, Joe Biden was like obvious loser, but I knew they were going to steal it with the right-in ballots.
But when it came time to vote for him or Kamala Harris, I voted for Jill Stein, even though Green Party candidates are idiots and Jill Stein is a complete idiot.
But I just didn't want to cast another vote for Trump.
So bottom line is I stepped out early enough to make a difference.
How do you like this, Joe?
Army's surprising move, huge announcement.
Amid the war with Iran, the U.S. Army has raised the maximum enlistment age to 42.
Sparking fears among megasaburg.
President Trump is quietly preparing for a broader draft to fuel endless regime change complex he promised to avoid.
Story highlights.
Army boosts max enlistment age from 35 to 42 effective April 20th, 2026, aligned with Air Force and others.
While Marines stay at 28, policy drops waivers for single marijuana convictions, easing entry for older recruits with minor past issues.
Change comes amid strong fiscal year 2026 recruiting success, not out of desperation.
Are you kidding me?
Not out of desperation.
Maraise questioned in a wartime contact.
Where are they getting this fiscal year 2026 recruiting success?
Average recruit age, it's 22.7, signaling a shift to experience late 30s and early 40s candidate.
Historical fluctuations tied to wars like Iraq.
Conservatives worry it signals escalation despite Trump's No New Wars pledge.
Well, his no-new war pledge don't be a damn thing.
Realigning With Iran00:03:20
We all know that.
Joe, I mean, you know, every sign is America is going down big time.
We've been exposed to be fraud, a paper tiger abroad.
Iran has revealed we can't keep our commitments.
The Gulf Coast states all recognize it.
They're going to realign with Iran.
I mean, Iran is the only country that can protect them from Iran.
And there's a natural affinity there.
So the U.S. is put the petrodollar is dead.
U.S. forces are going to be forced to withdraw from the Middle East in its entirety.
Whether we'd ever pay reparations is very doubtful.
We don't keep our word about anything, Joe.
If we paid reparations, it'd be in fiat currency anyway.
So it would be worthless within months of being printed.
So it looks like China's got a big road in with trading in the yen.
So that's going to be a real problem for the U.S. dollar right there.
And as far as lowering the standards, you got to thank the boomer generation for getting rid of the draft because it was always a horrible thing to have imposed on any male population.
And it only encourages the governments to get involved in bigger wars so they can have bigger armies and they can spend more money on no-bid cost plus contracts, which is what all the military industrial complex runs on.
But in the 70s, mid-70s, my little brother got busted with a pound of weed in the parking lot of the high school.
And when he was being sentenced, where he could have gone felony for years in jail, his attorney said, well, if he joins the military, can we get deferred adjudication?
And so the military took my rotten little brother in under deferred adjudication with a felony indictment and conviction on marijuana and then sent him up to Fort Carson, where he ended up being the largest cocaine dealer at Fort Carson for two years.
Absolutely insane.
Joe, love you, brother.
You're doing a great job here.
Great pleasure.
I enjoy our Mondays together.
Everyone, spend as much time with your family and rent up people you love and care about.
We do not know how much time we have left.
Use it wisely.
