Nick Fuentes and Michelle Malkin dissect Iran-Israel tensions, alleging Israel executed a cyber-enabled regime change plot to destroy Iran's command networks while leaving nuclear sites intact. Fuentes accuses the Trump administration of complicity through arms sales and intelligence sharing, claiming diplomatic calls for negotiation were deceptive decoys designed to lower Iranian defenses against inevitable escalation. The discussion veers into broader conspiracy theories regarding Jewish influence, false flags, and demographic collapse, culminating in a heated, slurred altercation with viewer Kostin Alamaru before Fuentes signs off. Ultimately, the episode frames the conflict as an existential struggle requiring a "Christian future" to reclaim American sovereignty from perceived foreign hostages.

We haven't got the country we had when I was raised.
Not at all.
Nobody will have the fun I have.

People that are scrambling, trying to protect their ever-shrinking share of what they have are foolish.

This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
People have got to start to get courageous.
And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
And the alternative is that there will be no country.

One report about a group of Middle Eastern men spotted the morning of September 11th parked just across the river from New York City has not gone away.

When you drive into a nice, rich suburb and breathe it in, because it's done.
It's gone.
Go to a nice suburb where the lawns are nicely kept, where the mailman walks around and delivers the mail, where people are walking their dogs and little kids are ice skating in the park.

Okay?
We're fighting for our lives here.
We're fighting for our civilization.
The question is, is it worth it?
And a lot of people, you know, they sort of understand where things are headed.
It's good enough now.
And many people are just trying to enjoy the last hurrah before it's all over.
People are living lives of hedonism, taking advantage while they can.
Or they're living more responsible lives, but similarly, just trying to soak it in while they still can.
And ignoring, living in a sort of self-imposed naivete or delusion about what's going on just outside the city gates, outside of the gated community, on the other side of the tracks, downtown, wherever.
Can't do it forever.

Is it worth it to have a civilization like this on Earth?

In 2016, Donald Trump vowed that the United States would buy and, more importantly, hire American.
But in June of 2024, during the All In podcast hosted by his donor, David Sachs, he committed that he would not only expand work visas, but he would staple green cards to them.
I cannot support this.
And I will not encourage my followers to turn out in November to vote for this or campaign for this.
It is not an unreasonable demand to say that we will not vote for a candidate that promises to import more legal immigrants.
And it is not unreasonable because for the first time in 20 years, it is the majority opinion that there are too many legal immigrants coming into the country.
Ask yourself this.
If not Donald Trump, if not now, then when?
So they may say mass deportations.
They may say illegal immigration.
It's not enough.
It's not enough.
And Americans need to get used to saying that.
Native Americans never get what they ask for because they're always telling themselves and negotiating with themselves.
Telling us it's good enough.
We need to hear the words, immigration moratorium.
No more immigrants.
No more.
Not since he announced his re-election campaign in November 2022 have I told anybody to vote for Trump.
When pushed for details on the policy, clearly.
They're repeating the same script as every other Republican, and they show that they're really not serious about mass deportations.
For that reason, I actually don't believe that illegal immigration will fall to historic lows.
And this is your America First policy.
We need the people.
We need limitless green cards.
And by the way, once they come in, you can't deport them.
So people, when confronted with this reality, first they said it was a throwaway remark.
They said he didn't really mean it.
Well, he's doubled down on it many times.
He doubled down on it in June, August, last week.
Now they say, well, so what?
Even if he means it, he said it last time.
No, he didn't.
Last time he was against H-1B visas.
Like, you thought you were going to tap the screen?

We have a lot to talk about tonight, lots to get into.
It's going to be another big show.
Huge show, our featured story.
We're going to be covering the latest in the ongoing war in Iran.
So far, it's an Israel-Iran war with participation from We'll see how that goes.
We're going to be talking the entire night about the latest developments.
If you watched my coverage last night, I'm sure you did.
That was one of our biggest dreams ever and one of the biggest news stories I've ever covered doing this show in eight years.
But if you...
You know we are now in the thick of a major regional conflict in the Middle East between Iran and Israel.
Last night, Israel launched a surprise attack against Iran.
We now know the full details of that strike.
So we are going to do a brief recap tonight and talk about what exactly Israel did because as of this morning and afternoon, we have some details about the actual technical.
Actions that were undertaken last night, in particular their dramatic first strike, the initial surprise attack.
We'll talk a little bit about that.
We're also going to talk tonight about the response from the United States, which is sort of interesting.
We don't really know what the U.S. position is on the conflict.
And one of these operative questions that must be answered.
In the next couple of days, weeks, and certainly when all this is said and done, whenever it is, this must be answered.
What did Donald Trump know and when did he know it?
How involved was he?
Because yesterday we got a statement from the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and he said one thing.
He said that Israel carried out a unilateral strike.
That they had notified the United States in advance of.
This afternoon and morning, however, the president came out and said we knew about it the whole time.
He said we didn't get a heads up.
He said we were intimately involved.
We knew everything about the strike from the beginning.
And then later in the day, it gets better.
Israeli officials, not the White House, but Israeli officials came out and said that the entire negotiations with Iran were a ruse from the beginning.
They say that the president was involved in an active deception as an accomplice to Israel.
That they were Giving Iran a false sense of security with a pretense that they were willing to negotiate concessions and sanctions relief and the ultimate restriction of Iran's nuclear program.
Israel says that the U.S. was not only aware and in on it, but a deep accomplice.
So which of these is true?
Either we knew nothing and...
Or we knew about these plans potentially months in advance and just simply did not disclose them, which is what the president said.
The worst scenario is what the Israeli government is saying, which is that not only did we know and did not disclose, But that we were deliberately deceiving Iran the entire time.
And that has not been corrected yet by the administration.
So we'll cover that a little bit.
And then we're going to get into what Iran has been doing.
Iran launched a major counterattack.
They're calling it severe punishment.
We'll workshop the name.
They're calling it Operation Severe Punishment.
I wonder what's going on.
But this is, in reality, Operation True Promise 3. This was an operation that they deferred after Israel killed Ishmael Hania in July of last year and then retaliated against Iran in October after Iran responded on October 1st.
This is their deferred True Promise 3 operation they launched, and it's a little bit uncertain, actually, right now.
Said that Iran launched upwards of 300 ballistic missiles at Israel.
Other reports say Iran launched fewer than 100.
So it could be anywhere between, let's say, 50 and 400 ballistic missiles.
The reason that that number might matter is because at least seven of those ballistic missiles actually struck Israel.
And that's probably an underestimate, or they're underestimating the number of direct impacts.
Because there's a total blackout in Israel on reporting and videos and pictures of the missiles striking Israel for reasons we'll get into.
It's at least seven missiles hit Israel.
If Iran launched fewer than 100, and let's say the maximum is 100, and seven ballistic missiles made an impact, then that means that 7%, seven over 100, 7% of the ballistic missiles penetrated Israel's missile defense shield.
That would be a pretty high rate of failure, which would mean that Israel is quite vulnerable to Iran's missiles.
If Iran has thousands of missiles and they can sustain repeated missile strikes on Israel, a couple of things are going to happen.
One, over time, Two,
as their interceptors are being degraded over time and already with the 7% failure rate, If Iran is able to sustain these missile barrages over days and weeks, that means Israel is only getting more vulnerable to attack.
And you can't intercept a ballistic missile.
Without these missile defense systems, they're completely vulnerable.
So they'll be just getting hit all the time.
And Iran will be dialing in their targeting probably...
Israel has been launching airstrikes and drone strikes in Iran.
Iran has been retaliating throughout the day.
As we speak, there are missile strikes and airstrikes ongoing.
So we're going to cover all of it.
We're going to get into, like I said, a little bit of a recap of last night.
We'll talk about the response from the United States.
We'll talk about the conflict today, in particular Iran's, the beginning of Iran's response.
And then we'll talk about where this is going, the dynamics of the war.
But it's going to be a good show.
This is a scary situation.
And I said this last night.
I want to make it clear again tonight as well because I don't want people to get the wrong impression.
I enjoy the coverage.
This is an interesting subject matter to me.
It's something that I'm passionate about.
I've covered for a long time.
But do not mistake that for giddiness or glibness.
I'm not happy about this.
This is actually a very horrifying situation.
And if you watched the show last night, we went over a lot.
It was a five-hour stream.
We covered a lot of ground.
But I think I impressed that upon the audience last night.
The stakes are very high here.
And I just want you to know the weight of the moment is not lost on me.
I don't want people to think I'm grinning and being smiley about it.
This is not a happy occasion.
Even though I was dancing a little bit last night, we did a little bit of a dance.
A little random dancing when Iran started launching drones at Israel.
Let's just chalk that up to levity.
Let's just say that was lightening the mood, cutting the tension a little bit with a little dance break when Iraq's Shiite militias were bombing Israel with drones.
Let's just chalk that up to a moment of levity during an otherwise somber and intense stream.
I do just want to make that clear.
It's a pretty serious situation.
But we're going to get into all that.
My voice is gone a little bit because I streamed for five hours last night and it was intense.
But we got a good show tonight.
Before we get into it, I want to remind you to smash the follow button.
Make sure to subscribe to my channel so you get notified when I go live.
Because I'm going to be covering this if there's major developments I made to a stream this weekend.
If something big happens, I might do another stream this weekend.
So you're going to want to follow me on Twitter, Telegram, and follow me here on Rumble so you know when I go live.
Smash the like button, leave a comment, let me know what you think about the show.
What else?
I do also just want to say thank you to everybody who tuned in to my coverage last night.
It was one of my biggest streams I've ever done, period.
And one of my biggest dreams on Rumble, we had 53,000 live viewers closing in on half a million views on the replay.
So I really do appreciate all the support, the super chats, the views, everybody tuning in.
I'm very grateful.
So thank you for joining me last night and tonight.
And it's a testament to the fact that I was right about everything.
I mean, look.
People saw that Iran was hit with a Pearl Harbor-like attack from Israel and they tuned in to my stream.
I had the biggest stream, as far as I'm aware, of any political commentator last night.
And I'm proud of that and I'm grateful for it.
But I think that says something.
It's a testament to the fact that
This has been the one show, one of the few shows, I'm sure there's a handful of others out there, but this has been one of the few shows that has really been on top of this issue, that has taken the threat posed by Israel seriously.
That has been completely sober and honest, even when it entailed going against Trump and breaking partisanship.
This was the one show that was very clear-eyed and clear-sighted about what was happening.
Now, the reason that that is significant, ask yourself why, why is it that this show, the Why was it that I got it so right, so precisely before anybody else for a long time?
It's not because I'm a super genius.
I'm a pretty smart guy, but it's not because I'm a clairvoyant.
I don't have a crystal ball.
The reason that this show has been on top of this issue And has been clear-sighted about it is because I'm one of the only people that is sober about the predicament politically of the United States.
And we're going to get into this tonight.
I do want to address, in addition to the ongoing crisis, I want to talk about some of the responses from conservatives.
Because other conservatives, the way they have responded to this crisis.
It reveals that they don't really understand why it's happening.
That's why they didn't see it coming.
That's why it wasn't on their radar.
That's why they weren't covering it.
And the situation that they don't understand, ask yourself, if Iran didn't want the war, if the United States didn't want the war, The entire region, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the Emirates, Turkey, Russia, Europe, China, none of them wanted the war.
The American public didn't want the war.
And yet the war has arrived and everyone is being dragged into it.
No one seems to be able to stop it.
Least of all the American president.
Why?
The answer is simpler than you think.
If the whole world opposes the war, but the war arrived anyway, and as we have discussed and as we've analyzed the situation over the past couple of years, the driving force behind the war was Israel and the global Jewish community.
The state of Israel and very powerful American Jews, As well as Jews in other countries that have exerted influence on the U.S. government and on other governments to accelerate this confrontation on behalf of Israel.
What does it say about the power dynamic inside the United States and in the world if Trump did not want the war but we got one anyway?
Who wanted the war?
Who benefits?
And if they got what they wanted, then who's really in charge of this country?
Ask yourself, why did everybody tune in last night?
Because I was right.
Everybody tuned in last night because I was right.
I was one of the only people that was vocally and almost obsessively talking about this for years.
That was on top of this because I'm the only one or one of the only ones that recognizes the true threat that is posed by Israel and the Jewish community, the organized Jewish community in the United States.
We could say simply a good heuristic, a heuristic is a way of interpreting things.
A good heuristic is that if you are able to predict things, You understand the world.
If your worldview, if your philosophy has predictive power, if your set of ideas, your general way of looking at things, if it is able to correctly predict the future consistently, a good heuristic is that it's probably correct.
If you can predict things, then you're right.
If your frame of mind is able to predict the future, then you have an accurate understanding of reality.
If I predicted this, then I'm right.
About Israel, about the Jews, about the United States.
And this should be a lesson to anybody that looks at me, or people like me, people that sound like me, and think, that guy's an anti-Semite.
That guy's obsessed with Israel.
Excessively, too much.
For people that say, that guy's a bigot, he's hateful, a conspiracy theorist, a right-wing nut.
Now would be a good time to reevaluate.
Because if you're a liberal or a conservative and you think that I'm a broken clock, I've been right a lot more than two times per day over the years.
For all the liberals and conservatives to look at me as a crazy guy, some crazy nutjob, a paid agent, astroturfed, artificial, whatever people want to say to try to discredit me.
I've been right a lot more than twice a day, so maybe I'm not a broken clock.
And if I was right about...
If I was right about all that, then maybe it's time to reevaluate how we look at the subject matter, which is the role of Jews in American society.
And I said very simply last night, and we're going to move on again into the news, but this is just an important preface.
I said last night, to me, the biggest takeaway, it's very simple, it's a little provocative, but it's this.
Jews are too powerful.
And maybe to some people that sounds a certain way, but I think that is supported by what we're seeing right now.
Jews are too powerful.
There's a lot of them living in the United States.
They are billionaires.
Many of them are more loyal to Israel than the United States.
They have abused their power.
They have too much power in the United States.
If they could push our country into a war, they have too much power.
If they're so loyal to Israel and so powerful that they can make us fight Israel's wars, they have too much power.
It must be taken from them.
And I'm not trying to play games and dog whistle and imply anything.
Let me be specific about what I mean by this.
We must force anybody that is lobbying this country on behalf of Israel to register.
And then we should probably make it illegal.
Miriam Adelson is an unregistered lobbyist for the state of Israel.
She is a foreign lobbyist.
She should be registered as a foreign agent and probably her money should not be good in U.S. elections.
Why should a foreign agent be allowed to donate $100 million to a presidential campaign?
Obviously, it's not a good idea.
They have abused it.
And the same can be said for AIPAC and the same can be said for Ike Perlmutter.
And honestly, the same can be said about the media.
Because you know who was meeting in the White House with Donald Trump last week to convince him to go to war with Iran?
Rupert Murdoch.
Rupert Murdoch owns Fox News and the New York Post.
He is using, and he's not even Jewish, by the way.
He just happens to be a Zionist and a friend of Netanyahu and pro-Israel.
If Rupert Murdoch can use his media empire, Fox News and the New York Post, to push a war with Iran on behalf of Israel, that should be registered too and probably made illegal.
There's a reason that the countries that are actually succeeding right now, like China and Russia, have state-controlled media.
There's a reason they have a firewall.
There's a reason they have closed societies.
It's because in the era of globalization and diversity and information warfare, you are vulnerable if you don't close it down and have a media and political ecosystem, an educational ecosystem while we're at it, that is explicitly there for the benefit of the country.
So this open society, liberalism, It is suicide in the 21st century.
And it's not just the Israelis.
They happen to be the most powerful ones.
There are Indians here that want us to fight their war against Pakistan.
There's Pakistanis here that want us to fight their war against India.
There are Palestinians that want us to fight their war.
They just happen to be far less powerful than the Jews by orders of magnitude.
If every country is closed, closed border, closed internet, closed political system, and ours is open, this is a recipe for subversion, infiltration, and ultimately undermining the United States of America.
It's a very simple takeaway.
That's why I'm a nationalist.
I'm a nationalist first.
I'm right-wing.
I'm Catholic.
But more than anything, I mean maybe not more than being Catholic, but politically speaking, more than anything, I am a nationalist.
I'm a believer that we need to close this country down to the best of our ability because obviously this is not working.
And it starts with these people and this conflict.
But anyway, with that out of the way, I do want to dive into the latest here.
I want to get into the news because we do have a lot of ground to cover once again.
So first, I want to recap the Israeli strike last night.
And if you missed the stream, if you missed the news, this is what we've been waiting for for a very long time.
After a year and a half of a regional conflict in the Middle East, in which Israel has gone to war in Gaza, in southern Lebanon, overthrown the government of Syria.
There's been a U.S., U.K., Israeli operation against the Houthis in Yemen.
Provocations against Iran.
After a year and a half of regional conflict, after 60 days of nuclear negotiations, finally, the dam burst and Israel launched an unprecedented surprise attack against Iran for the first time in history.
We all knew this was coming.
We all knew people to watch this show knew it was coming.
And finally, yesterday was the day.
And I want to recap exactly how that happened because we actually have new information.
So yesterday, it wasn't actually clear how Israel carried out the strike.
They launched a series of waves of attacks that went on throughout the night, throughout the morning, and throughout the day today.
It's basically been more than 24 hours of uninterrupted airstrikes.
Wave after wave involving hundreds of Israeli fighter jets, hundreds of bombs, attacking dozens of cities.
But the new information that we learned about the strike is how exactly it was carried out.
The strike last night was a major humiliation for Iran.
It was extremely effective, surprisingly effective.
It caught the entire world off guard with how lethal, And how precise and how overwhelming it was.
And initially, people were shocked and didn't understand why that was the case and how exactly that happened.
We now know a little bit more information about how it was carried out.
The strike started with a cyber attack on Iran's ISR, their intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.
So first, Iran was hit with a massive and sophisticated cyber attack.
It took out Iran's radar, all their surveillance, anything that they could use to detect an incoming attack.
So Israeli ministers have claimed that when the operation started, Iran was deaf, dumb, and blind.
They were completely vulnerable because of this large, large scale cyber attack.
The second part, which again, we only learned about today, is that the first wave of attacks
So shortly after the cyberattack took out Iran's radar, a secret base that Israel had established inside of Iran, this attack had been prepared years in advance.
Israel had constructed a secret drone base with commandos inside of Iranian soil and after the cyber attack was carried out those drones suicide kamikaze drones then took off from their secret base inside western Iran and they carried out propaganda.
And in particular, they hit two gatherings.
of IRGC commanders, their aerospace division and another division, as well as carrying out targeted strikes inside a neighborhood of Tehran, where they attacked the residences of IRGC commanders.
So first they hit the communications with cyber, then with drones from inside of Iran, they carried out assassination strikes against high-level military commanders.
And this is a classic Israeli operation.
There's a word for this.
It's called effects-based operations.
This is something that they used primarily in 2006 in their war in Lebanon.
And actually, according to many of the autopsies of the 2006 war, which was considered a failure for Israel, Effects-based warfare was blamed for the failure of Israel in that conflict.
But they dusted off that playbook against Hezbollah last year.
They did the same thing against Hezbollah in Lebanon back in October.
The same thing that they did last night.
And if you recall, last year in October, Israel simultaneously activated remote explosives inside the pagers and radios of Hezbollah commanders.
Which simultaneously killed many high-ranking Hezbollah leaders, but also took down their communications.
And that had a couple of effects.
It made them disorganized, they were unable to communicate, and it broke down the military chain of command.
And so effects-based operations, effects-based warfare, is where they go after command, control, and communications.
Israel is a cyber and intelligence superpower.
Largely because of cooperation from the United States.
This is where they excel.
They don't have a very highly trained army.
It's not very big.
They haven't had a very successful invasion in a long time.
The Air Force is tiny and not strategic.
They don't have a comparable drone industry like Iran has.
So what Israel relies upon is intelligence and cyber to carry out these effects-based operations on the command, control, and communications, the nervous system of their enemies.
And so in 2006 in Lebanon, in 2024 in Lebanon against Hezbollah, first they went for the communications, the leadership.
And the goal is to create disorganization, break down the chain of command, and then when they go in with airstrikes and then with ground forces, the opponent is disorganized and unprepared.
That's what they did against Hezbollah.
Blew up their pagers, took down their communications grid, broke down the chain of command, and then they carried out a thousand airstrikes in southern Lebanon and in Dahiya, the suburb of Beirut.
And then they invaded.
They're doing something very similar here, although I doubt they'll invade.
They went after the communications and then the command and control.
They went after the radar and then they assassinated the leadership.
And this created a situation last night where Iran was not able to intercept any of the incoming drones, fighter jets, any of the projectiles, because they couldn't see them.
And they couldn't mount any kind of effective response because their leadership had all been killed.
So that is why the operation last night was so successful.
That's why Iran was caught with its pants down.
Iran has advanced anti-air capabilities.
They do have a sophisticated military.
They have sophisticated radar systems.
But they were first disabled with cyber.
Then the chain of command broke down.
Iran put its jets in the air just to avoid being destroyed, and they were vulnerable, they say, for eight hours.
It took eight hours for Iran to put its radar and its surveillance capabilities back together, and that's why this morning it was sort of a different situation.
This morning, allegedly, multiple Israeli fighter jets were shot down over Iran, and Iran actually captured an Israeli pilot.
That's why today hasn't been as rough for Iran, because they brought their communications back online.
They replaced the personnel that had been assassinated.
But that is how the operation played out last night.
Cyber attack, drone assassinations from inside Iran, and then they carried out hundreds of airstrikes throughout the night.
And we'll talk a little bit about what was targeted last night, because this gets into the objectives and the motives of Israel.
So this is a point that I've been stressing from the very beginning, and in particular in the past week.
This is vital to understanding the conflict.
Pay very close attention.
Everybody is talking about Iran's nuclear program.
But that is not why Israel is attacking Iran.
Apparently that is what is at the center of all of this.
Iran is pursuing a bomb.
Israel doesn't want them to have it.
The United States tried to negotiate to take the bomb away from them, but Iran refused and sealed their fate.
But that is not the case.
And we're not going to relitigate the entire history here, but suffice to say, if you have any background knowledge of politics, there have been a lot of wars in the Middle East over the past 30 years.
The countries that are opposed to Israel and the United States get attacked by Israel and the United States.
Afghanistan was invaded in 2001.
Iraq was invaded in 2003.
NATO airstrikes overthrew the government of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya in 2011.
There was a huge civil war in Syria starting in 2011, and he was just overthrown last year.
And there's others, too.
We could go into the whole history of the conflict.
But needless to say, if you oppose the United States and Israel, your government gets overthrown.
That is because Israel's grand strategy in the Middle East is that, to destroy every one of their enemies.
Their chief adversary is Iran.
Ever since the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, Iran has been one of Israel's chief adversaries.
Suffice to say, Israel has always wanted to destroy Iran.
Israel has wanted to destroy Iran for 45 years, throughout the 80s, throughout the 90s, the 2000s, the 2010s, and 2020s, and it has nothing to do with their nuclear program.
It is because Iran has an Islamist, theocratic government that is opposed to the United States and Israel.
For that reason, Israel seeks, and this is the key word, regime change.
Israel's objective is not denuclearization.
At least, that's not fundamentally their objective.
Israel's fundamental objective is regime change.
At any cost, for any reason, they want to overthrow the government of Iran.
It is for that reason that Iran has developed a threshold status.
Iran maintains a civilian nuclear program in the event that if they are attacked, they could create a nuclear bomb to deter a regime change war by the United States and Israel.
Understand?
Israel has attacked its neighbors for 60 years, unprovoked.
60 years of preemptive strikes against Egypt and Syria, against Lebanon, against Iraq, against Syria, against almost every country in the Middle East.
And surely Israel has had its sights set on Iran from the very beginning.
Iran has developed a nuclear program to protect itself.
And only insofar as the nuclear program protects Iran, that is why Israel wants to destroy it.
Now here's the relevance.
Israel carried out a strike on Iran last night and did not, for the most part, target its nuclear facilities.
Let's talk about what was targeted in the strikes throughout last night and this morning.
Israel primarily hit Iran's military in Tehran.
Most of the airstrikes were in Iran's capital and in other cities where Iran has military and missile bases.
So although there's been so much talk about the nuclear program and a nuclear weapon and Israel cannot allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon, most of the strikes were not on Iran's nuclear research facilities or its nuclear centrifuges.
Most of the strikes were on Iran's military leadership and on Iran's military sites.
And many analysts have pointed out what that suggests.
Is that Israel's goal is to topple Iran's government.
Israel did attack one of Iran's nuclear facilities at Natanz.
It is their largest centrifuge base.
But Natanz is deep underground for the most part.
So although Israel carried out strikes and they did damage the facility, for the most part it remains intact.
This suggests something else about the operation.
Something very critical about how this is going to play out.
So although there's been so many fireworks and so much talk and intensity about what's been happening, Iran maintained the ability to counterattack against Israel.
They replaced their military leadership.
Their civilian leadership is intact.
The people are rallying behind Iran.
Iran's nuclear facilities remain intact.
So if Israel did not target Iran's nuclear facilities, and if Israel is unable to destroy them, Iran's nuclear facilities are heavily fortified.
They're hardened.
They're deep underground.
Iran's centrifuges and stockpiles of highly enriched uranium in Natanz and at Fordow are buried deep under the ground.
In Natanz, they're underground.
In Fordow, they're literally inside of a mountain.
They're like 20 stories buried inside of a mountain.
There is no amount of airstrikes that Israel can carry out that will blow up and destroy the Fordow centrifuges or the stockpile of highly enriched uranium at Fordow.
They could strike for weeks and weeks.
They won't be able to destroy it.
And what is happening as we speak right now is that Iran is racing ahead on building a nuclear bomb.
They're enriching uranium to 90% to use in a bomb.
And all of that work is being carried out deep underground in a way that is untouchable by any Israeli airstrikes.
So if Israel not only avoided most of Iran's nuclear sites like at Iraq or Isfahan or Bushir, Or Fordow.
If they can't even get to them if they wanted to, then what was the purpose of the strike?
The purpose of the strike was very simple.
In the first place, they carried out some of these operations to suppress any kind of counterattack that Iran could wage.
Took out their radar, took out their leadership to disorganize them, attacked their missile sites so that Iran could not retaliate with missiles.
Took out their nuclear facilities, maybe to damage them, prevent Iran from accessing them, killed some of their nuclear scientists to slow down the rate of development of their nuclear program.
But maybe the biggest purpose of the strike was merely to provoke Iran.
Israel is attacking Iran's government, killing high-ranking members of the regime.
Not just for a military purpose, but for a few political purposes, which is, one, if you kill members of Iran's military, high-ranking members, diplomacy with the United States is over.
If Israel and the United States have blood on their hands, then Iran will not negotiate.
So, mission accomplished.
Now the United States and Iran are not making peace.
That door is closed.
At the minimum, there's neutrality.
They're never going to cooperate after this.
The second objective.
You have forced Iran to retaliate against Israel by killing Iranian high-ranking military officials, bombing them hundreds of times, doing this humiliating strike.
The people in Iran are demanding a retaliation, which Iran has carried out.
Iran is carrying out ballistic missile strikes on Israel, killing Israelis.
That means the United States has to defend Israel.
So the United States comes to Israel's defense, and we'll get into that in a moment, the counterattack.
But that drags the United States further in.
Now Israel and Iran are in this uninterruptible, reciprocal, tit-for-tat cycle of escalation.
Israel's doing airstrikes.
Iran attacks with missiles.
Israel does airstrikes.
Iran attacks with missiles.
Iran will never surrender.
And probably their government won't collapse.
And in the meantime, they're racing towards a nuclear bomb.
All that this has done is pushed Iran to pursue a bomb deep underground at Fordow where nobody can touch them other than one country.
Israel has set Iran inexorably on a path towards a nuclear weapon deep inside of a mountain.
It's so far underground that there's only one country that can destroy that facility.
That country is the United States.
There's only one country that has the strategic air force, the conventional bombs, the conventional warheads.
That weigh tens of thousands of pounds, tens of thousands of tons actually, that will penetrate the mountain at Fordow and destroy the facility.
And that's the United States.
So the reason it's important to understand the how and the where and the why is because then you can begin to divine Israel's strategy.
You can begin to understand the goal here.
Israel cannot destroy Iran's nuclear facilities.
Only the United States can.
Israel is less concerned about the nuclear weapons.
They're only concerned about them insofar as they protect the government.
So they don't want any kind of solution where Iran's nukes are neutralized and the government remains intact.
They want to create a dead end for every country that can only lead to the toppling of the Iranian regime.
That was the purpose of the strike last night.
So that's the information from yesterday.
This is a brief recap.
This is from the New York Times.
Then we'll talk about Iran's response and we'll talk about the U.S. response to all of this.
So the New York Times said this.
It said, quote, the strikes followed more than a year and a half of Israeli military action against Iran and its regional proxies that began after October 7, 2023.
Since then, Israel has weakened Iran's axis of resistance built to advance its regional interests and deter Israeli attacks.
Wars have depleted Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, airstrikes on key facilities have damaged the Houthi militia in Yemen, and the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad by rebels in December deprived Iran of its sole state partner in the Arab world.
So this was a year and a half in the making.
It was systematic.
Comprehensive.
And I said this from the very beginning.
Israel defeated Iran in detail.
This is a military strategy.
When a small army is facing a much larger army, it is beneficial if they can engage the larger army in sections, in detail.
That is what Israel did.
Israel facing the combined axis of resistance, which is Iran, The Houthis in Yemen.
And over a year and a half, again, systematically, piece by piece, they dismantled Iran's axis of resistance, which was part of their deterrent capability, which is to say that that is what defended Iran.
If an attack like this occurred two years ago, Hezbollah and all the other militias would have bombed Israel very effectively.
That capability no longer exists.
Until ultimately, Israel was prepared.
To confront Iran directly.
They defeated the axis of resistance in detail.
That is how we got here over a year and a half.
That's how I was able to predict how this would unfold over 18 months since October 7th.
But the article goes on again.
This is a recap.
It says, quote, The new strikes also had the potential to disrupt efforts by President Trump to negotiate a new nuclear accord with Iran.
Mr. Trump on Friday said that Tehran must make a deal before there's nothing left.
Israeli leaders have said that such an accord would not stop Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.
The attack was choreographed to simultaneously take down Iran's defenses, degrade its ability to retaliate, kill key figures, and damage nuclear sites.
One of the Israeli officials said that preparations included commando operations inside the Iranian capital, Tehran, and the establishment of positions inside of Iran armed with weapons that targeted Iran's air defenses and explosive drones that hit long-range missiles that could have been fired at Israel.
The Iranian officials said that teams of covert Israeli operatives had launched missiles and drones and targets from inside Iran.
A senior Israeli Air Force officer said that more than 200 aircraft had taken part in the attacks and that precise tracking enabled the targeting of senior military officials, nuclear scientists, and command centers.
Now, one more word on this strike before we move on.
There is a big question about the role that the United States played in the strike.
This is a huge question, obviously, which has political consequences.
What role did the United States play, if any, in the strike yesterday?
Like I said earlier, the State Department put out a statement last night and said that this was a unilateral action, meaning that Israel did it by themselves, and they told us at the last minute.
That's what the State Department said yesterday.
Today, Trump came out and said, no, we knew the whole time.
Israel said, not only did the United States know, but they actively deceived Iran into thinking that we wanted to make a deal to lower their defenses.
So that makes us an accomplice.
And I'm going to reiterate this because I said it last night, this is really important as well.
And I'll tell you why it's important.
not just for the sake of the conflict, but for the sake of domestic politics here.
It's important for the conflict because...
The world will hold us accountable.
If we participated in the strikes, Iran will not negotiate with us.
If we participated in the strikes, Iran may attack us and they would be justified.
If we backed assassinations, Iran would be within their rights to retaliate, not only against Israel, but us too.
So it matters for that reason.
But it also matters for another reason, which is the dialectic, the discourse today among conservatives, Republicans, Trump supporters, and others has been, should America get involved?
Whose war is it?
People are saying, we need to stay out of this.
This is Israel's war.
Should we get involved?
Should we attack Iran?
Is this our war?
Can Israel handle it themselves?
Do they have a right to carry out their own foreign policy?
These are the questions.
And the questions concern the relationship between the United States and Israel and the responsibility for the attack.
And I would like to contribute something to this, which is we own the strikes no matter what for a few reasons.
We are responsible for these strikes.
Forget about what we did yesterday.
Forget about what we do today, tomorrow.
We have always owned these strikes because, one, we supply Israel's military.
So the fighter jets that they are using to attack Iran were supplied by us.
The military that was used to attack Iran, it's using our intelligence, using our satellites, using our logistics, using our weapons.
We paid for it.
So Israel's our closest ally.
That has consequences.
Israel is a satellite of the United States, and one of our largest clients.
We're their biggest patron.
So their army is, So we own it for that reason.
We gave them $12 billion this year alone.
$12 billion this year alone.
But it's more than that.
Not only do we supply Israel with all their weapons, but Israel knows and Iran knows that if Israel gets attacked, we will defend them.
And we have.
We have defended them when Iran struck Israel last April, when Iran struck Israel last October.
We have defended them when other countries have attempted to strike Israel.
Every country, Israel and Iran included, know that if drones and missiles are coming into Israel, the United States will leap into action and defend Israel.
And not only will we shoot down missiles We have given them THAAD batteries.
Those are terminal high-altitude defense systems that shoot down ballistic missiles.
But we also deploy our fighter jets to shoot down drones.
We launch our own interceptors to shoot down missiles.
But we also deploy aircraft carriers into the region to deter Iran from attacking more strongly.
We deploy naval vessels to the Persian Gulf and to the Eastern Mediterranean to send a message that if Iran is tempted to destroy Israel, we will go on the offensive against Iran.
So why does that implicate us?
A lot of people say, well, we can defend Israel, but we shouldn't go on the offense.
I saw Charlie Kirk say that today.
Charlie Kirk said we should not offensively intervene.
It's a distinction without a difference.
And I'll tell you why.
What does that mean?
It means that if Israel knows that we will defend them no matter what, it enables them to be aggressive.
Israel cannot defend itself.
Contrary to what people say, without our THAAD systems, without our aircraft carriers, without our fighter jets and fighter jets from France and the UK, and without our interceptors, without the deterrent threat of American intervention, Israel could not defend itself, could not take care of itself.
That's a lie.
Israel cannot defend itself.
They rely 100% on us.
If Israel was truly left to its own devices, it would never attack Iran.
Because Israel knows, and Iran knows, that without the United States, Iran would carpet bomb Israel and destroy it.
Israel's not a big country.
Iran has thousands of ballistic missiles.
Iran could rain missiles.
All over every one of Israel's major cities.
All its critical infrastructure.
And Israel couldn't intercept half of it.
And it would be leveled.
And that would affect how Israel conducts its foreclosures.
The answer is no.
Could Israel carry out the strikes in Lebanon and Syria without our security umbrella?
No.
And they surely could not attack Iran without relying on us to defend them when Iran retaliates.
Offensive, defensive, it's a distinction without a difference.
The moral hazard has enabled Israel to do what it's doing, and that makes us complicit regardless.
United States' Role in Middle East Tensions00:15:41
So people can say, well, you know, we should defend Israel but not attack Iran.
By defending Israel, you're letting Israel attack Iran.
You have made that possible.
But it's even bigger than that.
You can think of a million different scenarios.
If the United States was not actively involved this entire time, arming Israel, defending Israel, deterring its adversaries, there's no telling what would have happened at any time in the past year and a half.
Egypt was talking about ripping up their treaty with Israel.
Saudi Arabia was conducting military exercises with Iran.
All of Iran's proxies at one point were bombing Israel.
There's no telling.
They would have united the entire region against them.
And they would not have been able to take care of themselves without using nuclear bombs.
And good luck doing that.
Use a nuclear bomb.
See how that goes.
So that's a myth.
That's a myth.
We own it.
The strike that happened last night.
Do not let anybody deceive you.
It is disingenuous.
At best, it is a bald-faced, unequivocal lie at the worst when conservative commentators like Charlie Kirk and Matt Walsh and others, when they say things like, that's not our problem, we should stay out of it.
Israel can fight their own wars.
That's not our business.
We shouldn't go in.
That is context denial.
It is disingenuous at best.
Unfortunately, we are involved.
We've been involved directly, intimately, comprehensively in every dimension, in every domain of the fighting.
So don't say we shouldn't get involved.
We've been involved for 70 years, especially now.
Don't say Israel can fight their own wars.
They literally can't.
That's why we're involved in all of them.
That's why we've been involved in this one from the beginning.
Don't say, I only care about America because if you care about America, you should care about Americans who are fighting in the Middle East.
You should care about Americans who will die because we are enabling Israel to strike Iran.
All of that And by the way, it is deceptive by design.
That is a carefully crafted lie to say, look over here.
Oh, look over there.
Do not look at what's happening.
They know the Israelis, the Zionists, they're very shrewd.
They know that there is no constituency in America that supports what's happening.
There is no constituency in America that supports a ground war with Iran.
They know that.
They know that most Americans don't even care about Israel anymore.
They know that most Americans wouldn't support a war for Israel or a war against Iran for any reason.
They know that.
So instead of pushing...
That was a carefully crafted rhetorical pivot.
They gave up the Israel flag-waving jingoism from five years ago, where they're going to go to Israel and say, I love Israel, I love Israel.
They said, that's two on the nose, we're losing people.
So they pivoted.
It's a subtle pivot, but they started to say, Israel can do whatever it wants.
I think we should stay out of it.
And everybody gives their assent.
Everybody goes, yup, I agree.
We should stay out of it.
They should fight their own wars.
But that's a false premise.
Because we're fighting their wars and we are involved.
You can think we should stay out of it all you want.
we're deeply involved.
Anyway, so that's just a word on He did.
We're in the war.
Trump did deliver us into a war with Iran.
It's a question of when we get involved more heavily, for reasons we'll get into later.
But I want to talk about Trump's response this morning, and then we'll talk about Iran's counterattack.
So again, there's three statements that have been given.
About what the United States knew and when they knew it.
And I said at the top of the show, this is kind of a very important question that must be answered sometime during the crisis or when there's an autopsy at the end of it.
We figure out what happened.
We need to know what Trump knew when he knew it.
Because we got a statement last night from the State Department.
The State Department said officially, the Israeli preemptive strike was a unilateral action.
Israel advised us of the strike, but we are not involved.
That's what the State Department said yesterday.
And this tracks somewhat.
Because if you look at how diplomacy broke down this week, it went like this.
On Monday, Trump had a call with Netanyahu.
Netanyahu said, I want to strike Iran.
Trump said, wait, give me more time.
Yesterday morning, hours before the strikes, Trump posted on True Social that his entire government is still committed to diplomacy.
And they still planned on attending negotiations with Iran today and on Sunday.
Later in the evening, Israel carried out the strike.
So if the State Department says Israel did this on their own, they advised us of it, but they did it on their own and we weren't involved, that would track.
But then this morning, we got a completely different statement from the president.
President Trump went to a press pool and said, well, we knew about it the whole time.
We know everything.
He said, literally, I know everything.
He said, we weren't advised.
We knew everything about it.
And he played it off like it was all part of the plan.
He said he knew it was coming, and this is a lesson that Iran should come back to the table and negotiate on their nuclear program.
This is what he said.
According to, I think this is Time Magazine, it says, quote, President Trump issued a stark warning to Iran, urging the country to accept a nuclear deal to avoid further planned attacks.
citing that there has already been great death and destruction, but there's still time to make the slaughter come to an end.
But no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn't get it done.
Certain Iranian hardliners spoke bravely, but they didn't know what was about to happen.
They are all dead now, and it will only get worse.
The United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the world by far.
And Israel has a lot of it with much more to come and they know how to use it.
He said Iran must make a deal before there is nothing left and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire.
No more death and destruction.
Just do it before it's too late.
Now, again, before we move on, it's worth pointing out the negotiations are dead.
That's just not going to happen.
Israel just went into Iran.
Into their country and assassinated all their top military leaders and then bombed all their cities and their airports and their air bases and their missiles and their nuclear facilities and assassinated civilian scientists.
Now Iran's going to come to the table and negotiate?
Oh, now you can have our nuclear program.
Israel is trying to topple their government.
They're going to give up their nuclear deterrent now?
No chance.
So I don't know what he's talking about.
Just sounds like a broken record.
Honestly, this is the one time, and I'm going to be really honest with you, this is not, I hope this doesn't sound a certain way, but this is just the dumbest thing I've ever heard ever from Trump.
And I'm not a Trump derangement syndrome guy.
I supported Trump for a very long time.
I happen to think he's very intelligent.
I happen to think he's very strategic or tactical.
This is the dumbest thing I think I've ever heard from him ever.
This is like, it's almost worrying.
You almost think, what is the cognitive state of the president?
Is he even equipped to deal with the crisis?
Because what it sounds like is muscle memory, like he's just falling back on a familiar pattern.
There's going to be no diplomacy.
What are you talking about?
They better come to the table before it's too late.
It is too late.
Israel crossed every red line.
Why do you think Iran has a latent nuclear weapons program?
It's literally for this contingency.
That's why it exists.
That's why they wouldn't give it up, because they knew this was coming.
And Trump comes on Twitter today and says, oh, well, they better come and make a deal.
It's legitimately concerning.
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
And I'm not that guy.
You know me.
I'm not that guy.
I'm not like a Kyle Kalinske liberal who says, Trump's an idiot.
I'm not like Stephen Colbert who says, oh, he's an orange dummy.
I think he's very intelligent.
This is truly like a mind-boggling, confusing response.
And it's scary because it shows that Israel has such a Such a sophisticated and complex and strategic view of the situation, and our president is out to lunch.
Israel has masterfully orchestrated this crisis from the very beginning in a sustained way, fighting off every challenge in a very difficult domestic political climate.
And our president seems to be, like, stunned almost.
It's scary.
Anyway, so I just want to point that out.
I don't believe there's going to be any talks.
That doesn't seem likely after this.
But Trump is threatening, well, you better come to the table.
It's this weird thing that he has.
He won't admit defeat.
His diplomacy was scuttled by Israel.
Israel vetoed his diplomacy.
The only other option, Israel is forcing him into a war with Iran.
That's it.
Checkmate.
You lose.
Those are your options.
Your diplomacy's over.
We're in this war.
And this is almost like a form of coping.
It's like a form of trying to exert control over the situation.
I'm still in control.
I'm still, I'm going to bully Iran and making it.
Those were our weapons, by the way.
Those were our weapons.
Yeah, Israel launched them, but those are our weapons.
I told you they were going to do it.
It's like this.
It's almost like a pathological kind of need to be in control.
You lost this one.
So the statement sort of, you almost have to psychologize it because it makes no sense from any other point of view.
For him to come out and say, those were our weapons.
We make the best weapons.
I told you Israel was going to attack.
Like, no, you didn't.
You said you were going to do diplomacy yesterday.
And then Israel attacked.
You bragged about telling Israel to back off and they defied you.
And now the diplomacy is over.
And now you're forced into a corner that's going to be nearly impossible to get out of.
And his response, it's like this weird form of denial.
It's like this, and I'll stop in a moment if you don't like this part, but it's almost like a break from reality.
It's like a pathological, ha ha ha, that was part of my plan all along.
No, obviously it wasn't.
Obviously, not only was Iran humiliated, but the United States was humiliated as well.
So that's what Trump said.
I don't even think that's true.
And then Israeli ministers came out today.
This is the third statement.
Israeli ministers came out today and they said that the United States was in on it the entire time.
They say that the United States never intended to make a deal, that they pretended to pursue negotiations as an elaborate ploy, as an elaborate fake-out, that they were stringing Iran along pretending they were interested in a deal so that Iran would lower its guard and lower its defenses and be vulnerable to an attack.
I don't think that's true at all.
Maybe there's some truth to it.
Maybe Trump thought it was real, but the Pentagon knew what they were doing all along.
I think that's possible.
But the idea that Trump never wanted diplomacy, if that's true, it's just disturbing.
Because then that makes Trump's statement make even less sense.
If the diplomacy was a ploy from the beginning, why would Trump be out there today saying they better come to the table?
If the entire negotiation was a decoy, if it was all a trick, then what table are you talking about?
The Israelis are claiming the whole thing was a fake-out.
And if Trump knew about it the whole time, then it must have been a fake-out.
So why then would he come out today and say, yeah, I got you.
We pretended to want to make a deal.
We were trying to get you to let your guard down so we could destroy you.
Now you better come and negotiate.
It doesn't make any sense.
So none of these things can be true at the same time unless you parse out the different levels of leadership in the U.S. government, which is to say the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing.
The Pentagon maybe was intending on supporting Israel all along.
National Security Council was intending on supporting Israel all along.
But the civilian government, Trump and Vance and maybe others, maybe they didn't want a war.
Maybe they were serious about pursuing diplomacy.
That might be the only thing that makes sense.
And what would support that position is that I don't think Israel could carry out the strike without the United States.
How could Israel prepare and carry out the strike without the United States knowing about it?
Where's Tulsi Gabbard?
Tulsi Gabbard is the director of national intelligence.
Her job is to pull together all the intelligence assessments of all the U.S. intelligence agencies and deliver a report to the president.
Israel's Dilemma: United States Intervention00:15:57
How did any of these institutions not know about it?
Let alone, how could Israel carry out this attack without their support?
I don't think either of those things are possible.
And what's more, this operation in Iran yesterday bears a remarkable similarity to the operation that Ukraine launched against Russia a couple of weeks ago.
Ukraine did the same thing years in advance.
They planted trucks inside Russia.
They remotely activated drones that attacked Russian air bases and took out their air power.
You're telling me Ukraine and Israel?
Had the same idea simultaneously years in advance, and they both pulled them off at the exact same time?
Well, Ukraine is being run by U.S. intelligence.
Israel is deeply embedded in U.S. intelligence.
So I think probably there's some truth in this, that maybe Trump was pursuing diplomacy.
Maybe on some level he was.
Maybe he was being kept apprised of it to some extent.
But it was probably the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies that were working with Israel to carry this out under Trump's nose.
Something like that had to be the case.
But Trump's response makes no sense at all.
He's almost implicating himself.
By saying he knew about it the whole time, it's like a false confession that's going to send him to prison.
The State Department said yesterday, well, you know, we were advised but we didn't participate.
And maybe that's true about Trump.
And the military was more involved.
But when Trump comes out today and says, yeah, we knew about it the whole time, knowingly or not, whether it's true or not, he's confirming that, yeah, it was a whole fake-out.
The whole thing was a decoy.
And if that's the case, then the bridge is burned forever with Iran.
They're never coming back to the table.
No one can trust the United States.
How can Russia trust the United States?
How can China trust the United States?
If our president and Steve Witkoff are undergoing this huge elaborate fake-out, meeting in Italy, meeting in Oman over 60 days, this big performance, it's life or death, just so they could do this surprise attack, how can Russia and China conduct diplomacy with this country?
Can't happen.
Horrible statement.
Horrible statement.
But they're almost relying on Trump to be who he is, which is he refuses to admit that this didn't go his way.
So, I mean, it could not be going worse in those terms.
The final part of the story, the final big development is Iran's counterattack earlier today.
So initially it wasn't clear whether Iran would even be capable of carrying out a counterattack because of how intense and severe Israel's first waves of attack were last night.
But Iran was able to retaliate.
They have launched many waves of ballistic missile attacks against Israel.
These are the biggest ballistic missile attacks in Israel's history.
They launched, according to various sources, anywhere between Around 100 ballistic missiles to over 300 ballistic missiles at Israel, and many of them are hitting their targets.
Mainstream media records that at least seven ballistic missiles have actually impacted Israel, destroyed buildings in Tel Aviv, killed some people, wounded dozens more.
Israel's defense ministry in Tel Aviv was hit by a ballistic missile.
That's like the equivalent of their Pentagon, which is a pretty big deal.
There's conflicting reports that their Damona nuclear reactor was hit with a ballistic missile.
And this has been going on throughout the entire day.
And what this demonstrates, there's a few things.
It's pretty mundane.
It's not as sophisticated as Israel's attack.
But what this says, one, is that Iran has maintained its ability to attack Israel.
Contrary to some of the exuberance last night, and everybody was celebrating like it was already over, Look, Iran is a substantial country.
They've got 90 million people.
They've got a million soldiers.
They've got thousands of missiles.
They've got underground tunnels.
They've got a subterranean complex.
Iran is not going to be easily defeated by a couple hundred airstrikes.
It just won't be.
And that little advantage, that element of surprise, that's now gone.
Now we're just in regular warfare.
And with Iran's ability to retaliate, what they've demonstrated is, And one other misconception I want to address.
People talk about the Iron Dome system.
There's this idea that Israel's an impenetrable fortress.
They have this missile defense system.
They're untouchable.
Israel has a few missile defense systems.
They have the Iron Dome.
They have the David Sling.
And they have a series of systems called Aero.
And they have the Terminal High Altitude Defense System by the United States.
Iron Dome, which is the most famous one, is just for short-range rockets.
This is for short-range, small rockets from Hamas and Hezbollah on the border.
They're not going to be using Iron Dome for this.
They might use Iron Dome for some of these slow-moving drones.
Most of those are being picked off by fighter jets.
And the Iron Dome is really meant for rockets, but they'll use Iron Dome against some of the drones.
What they're using for the ballistic missiles is the David sling in the aero system.
But the problem is that ballistic missiles are much more difficult to intercept than drones and rockets.
Ballistic missiles are faster, they're bigger, they go higher up in the air, and when they reach their terminal phase, they're basically unstoppable.
So this is why...
What's more, not only are they more difficult to shoot down, and so the failure rate is much higher for the David sling and the arrow than the Iron Dome, but the interceptor missiles that Israel uses to shoot down the ballistic missiles are very difficult to acquire.
They're very difficult to procure because the United States doesn't make a lot of them.
So if Iran is launching tons of stuff at Israel, Israel's got to shoot all of it down.
It's got to shoot 100% of it down.
But it's not just Iran.
It's also Iraq.
It's also the Houthis and Yemen.
If Israel's shooting down missiles from Yemen, missiles and drones from Iraq, missiles and drones from Iran, every day they're running out of interceptors.
Every time they shoot one of those down, it's extremely expensive.
It's costing millions, upwards of billions of dollars.
So it costs a lot of money, but we're also running out of the equipment.
And so eventually, there's going to be a situation where Iran is making more missiles and has more missiles than Israel has interceptors.
And at that point, Israel is completely vulnerable.
Israel's just going to get bombarded with ballistic missiles and there's nothing they could do about it.
These missiles are going to keep penetrating that shield.
They're going to keep landing in Israel.
Iran is going to dial in the targeting and Israel's a sitting duck.
They cannot destroy Iran's missile infrastructure.
It's hardened.
It's spread out.
It's vast.
It's underground.
Iran will have free reign attacking Israel.
So what is Israel going to do?
This has played out all throughout the day.
Iran has attacked Israel with missiles and they have hit Israel.
They've hit Israel's defense ministry.
They hit Demona.
They hit a couple of other sites.
Israel's carrying out airstrikes.
But now they're encountering Iran's air defenses.
So it's not as successful as it was yesterday.
And this is going to be how the conflict goes.
Missiles from Iran to Israel, Israeli fighter jets and drones over Iran.
There won't be an invasion because these countries are too far apart.
And Israel doesn't really have a ground force.
Iran probably can't bring their soldiers to Israel.
So it's going to be fighter jets over Iran, missiles over Israel.
How is it going to play out further?
Well, it can't go on forever.
Both countries need this war to wrap up quickly.
This war cannot go on for two years like in Ukraine.
Both sides needed to be over in weeks.
And they need to be over in weeks because, again, Israel's going to get carpet bombed by missiles.
And what Israel will do is continue to escalate against Iran.
So Israel will carry out strikes against Iran's oil refineries.
That's next.
And then they'll carry out more assassination strikes against its leadership.
They will attempt to cripple Iranian society, all its military targets, all the nuclear facilities, all of its oil, all of its trade, its ports, all of its vital infrastructure, and they will try to make life inside of Iran unbearable and intolerable.
They will equally try to make Iran defenseless, and they will try to make Iran broke.
What's the terminus?
What's the end of the conflict?
Both sides need to get the United States involved.
What Israel is counting on is that the United States will intervene on their side.
Israel is counting on the United States coming in for two reasons.
If Israel is overwhelmed, the United States will intervene to shut down Iran.
And the longer this goes on, Iran will continue to develop a nuclear weapon.
Israel is counting on the United States to intervene to prevent that from happening.
Because we're the only ones that could destroy their nuclear infrastructure at Fordow.
So Israel has kind of thrown themselves onto the pyre.
They're sacrificing themselves in a way.
They're accelerating the final stage of the conflict as much as possible so that the United States will be forced to intervene to save Israel, to stop Iran from getting the bomb.
On the other side, Iran is going to try to bring the United States in to restrain Israel.
If they get desperate, they might start bombing the United States, in particular U.S. air bases in Baghdad, in eastern Syria, in Qatar.
Or Iran might try to close the Strait of Hormuz, might try to bomb energy in Saudi Arabia and some other country to put economic pressure on the United States.
But Iran's goal in the conflict is to put pressure on the United States to bring Israel back from the brink so that there could be some kind of detente.
That's where this is going.
We remain the operative player here.
And that's why when people say...
They can take care of themselves.
They really can't.
I'm not convinced that Israel will be able to topple Iran's government.
The people are rallying behind the regime.
And I don't see Iran allowing their supreme leader to be killed.
I mean, it's possible.
I don't think that's going to happen.
I think these two sides are going to continue to degrade each other's capabilities.
Until one of the decision makers intervenes, like the United States, decisively on one side or the other.
And who knows?
Maybe it could be a false flag.
Maybe to get the United States in on the side of Iran, maybe it's a false flag.
Maybe it's a mysterious explosion at a U.S. base.
That there's conflicting reports about where the projectile came from or what exactly happened.
Maybe there's a terror attack in the United States.
This is how the Israelis play.
It's how they've always played.
I would certainly bring the United States in.
But ultimately, I think the end has already been decided.
I don't see a scenario where Israel falls.
I don't see a scenario where Iran surrenders.
So if Israel can't lose and Iran won't give up, I think it ends in the United States entering on the side of Israel and pushing regime change in Iran.
That's Israel's goal, and I think so it will be.
Unless something extraordinary happens.
But I think that they will use every trick, every arsenal, every deception in the book to bring the United States in.
I think they're too far gone.
This is their moment.
They've rolled back the axis of resistance.
They've engaged Iran.
It started.
This is now, this is the critical moment.
And the idea they're going to let it slip through their fingers, I don't think Trump has the will.
I don't think he has the will or the wherewithal to navigate us out of this one, because it would take something remarkable.
That's where we are.
And this is a story from the New York Times on Iran.
I'll just read this briefly.
It says, quote, Iranian ballistic missiles struck at least seven sites around Tel Aviv on Friday night.
Attacks continued on Sunday morning, or Saturday morning, excuse me, with Iran reporting dozens of people killed and Israel reporting about 20 people wounded.
Missiles and drones flew in both directions.
As Israel said, its military campaign, called Rising Lion, would continue for days, if not longer.
Iran said its response was not over either.
Rafael Grossi, the head of the UN nuclear watchdog, told the UN Security Council that Israel's strike on Iran's nuclear site near Natanz on Friday had destroyed its above-ground enrichment plant, causing chemical and radiological contamination.
But he said the leak was manageable.
An American official who requested anonymity to discuss the operation said the U.S. military was helping intercept some of the ballistic missiles for Israel.
The official said U.S. military assets already in the Mediterranean to help defend American troops had been used to intercept the missiles.
The IRGC said in a statement it had struck dozens of targets in Israel forcefully and with precision, including military and defense sites, in response to Israel's attacks that killed senior commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians.
Videos posted on social media and verified by the Times Show a strike hitting a part of central Tel Aviv where a number of military facilities are located, including the headquarters of the IDF.
Prominent in footage of the strike was Marganet Tower in the Kuria region of Tel Aviv, a landmark in the center of the city that is close to IDF headquarters.
Fewer than 100 missiles were fired during the two Iranian missile barrages against Israel, according to the Israeli military's chief spokesman.
And I'll take a look here on Twitter just very quickly and we'll see if there's any developments because the situation is ongoing while I'm doing the show.
So that's just a summary of the news from the New York Times.
I'm going to check on Twitter and see what's new.
And then we're probably going to move on.
We'll do a little bit more analysis and then we'll dive into the Super Chats.
So let me get this set up real quick and we'll bring you the latest here on what's new.
If there is anything, let's take a look here.
So it looks like Iran has attacked Israel in the south.
Scenes from Rishan Lezion.
Lezionist.
Following a direct hit by an Iranian ballistic missile, six homes destroyed in the strike.
It is being called a mass casualty event.
You know what that means.
Escalation.
Four people injured in the strike, two discovered underneath the rubble, no fatalities.
CNN quoting Iran says, any country that attempts to defend the regime against Iran's operations will see its regional bases and positions become targets.
That means the United States.
We are defending Israel from attacks.
We have bases in the region.
Iran is saying they're going to bomb us if we keep defending Israel.
They're walking into a trap with that one.
Drone infiltration alarm along the Israel-Jordan border.
Likely suicide drones from Iraq.
Okay, so it doesn't look like anything major here.
Power outages in Israel due to the ballistic missile strike.
Could be a form of electric warfare.
Okay, so that's the latest.
So we'll continue with the show then.
So I don't know if anything major will happen tonight, but that's going to be the big thing to look out for is whether Iran starts hitting U.S. bases.
If they do, you know how Trump is.
If Iran hits American bases, we're going in hard and heavy and we're going to blow up Fordow.
And it's going to be regime change.
And here's just a little word of caution.
Let's think about it this way.
In order to take down the regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq in 2003, the United States invaded with 200,000 ground troops, and it was a joint operation with the United Kingdom and other countries as well.
And Iraq was far weaker than Iran.
Iraq has a third of the population.
Military was a fraction of the size and not loyal.
They had no missiles, no navy.
They had no nuclear program.
Most of their equipment was extremely dated from the days of the Soviet Union.
On the other hand, Iran has 90 million people, a million soldiers between their army, IRGC, and reservists.
They've got thousands of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles.
They've got a native drone industry.
That didn't even really exist 20 years ago.
They do have a navy.
They have submarines.
And they have a stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
If it took 200,000 American troops to depose Saddam, a much weaker foe, how do we expect to depose the Ayatollah of Iran without a ground operation?
How's that going to happen?
We were able to carry out airstrikes against Libya, but Libya is a different story.
It's barely a country.
It's really like three countries in one.
And far smaller, smaller population, not as many cities, nowhere near comparable in terms of military.
It took 10 years to topple Assad.
And once again, Assad is far different than Iran.
Syria was far weaker than Iran was, and it took 10 years to get rid of Assad with airstrikes, with ISIS, with Al-Qaeda, with everything that we threw at them.
How about in Yemen?
The United States and Saudi Arabia tried to dislodge the Houthi movement from Yemen for 15 years and were unsuccessful.
15 years we tried to bomb the Houthis out of power with the Saudis, with other regional partners.
We had boots on the ground, ostensibly to fight Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
We were there to fight the Houthis.
This took place over 10 years in the 2010s, and then throughout the Biden administration last year, and for a month this year, we had a massive bombing campaign against the Houthis.
And guess what?
They're stronger now.
They're stronger than they were before.
They're still able to carry out attacks.
So if we can't bomb Syria and Yemen into regime change, if we couldn't overthrow Saddam Hussein without 200,000 soldiers, What makes you think that Israel will bomb Iran into regime change?
What makes you think that America can bomb Iran into regime change?
Now this is not me making the case that we will invade Iran.
I don't know that we will.
I don't think that we will.
This is me saying that you never know.
When you go to war you roll the dice.
And maybe we won't go to war now, but maybe we go to war in 10 years.
This is the third Persian Gulf War.
The first was in 1990.
The second was in 2003.
This would be the third one.
We invaded Iraq in 1990 because they invaded Kuwait and threatened Saudi Arabia and bombed Israel and ostensibly for other reasons.
We invaded Iraq in 1990 to oversee the destruction of their WMDs.
We didn't depose Saddam Hussein.
13 years later, full-on invasion, ground occupation, 20-year counterinsurgency.
Is it going to follow that model?
That is why we cannot be involved at all.
But here we are.
So everybody is so confident that we're going to be able to stay out of this one.
Well, we're already in it, newsflash.
Everybody's so confident that this is going to be very limited and we're going to overthrow their government.
It's going to be a cakewalk.
It's not going to go the way you think.
That's the problem.
And Israel knows that.
They know that.
Israel relies upon that.
That's what makes their strategy anti-fragile because the more complications there are, the better their hand is.
the stronger their hand is.
The more complications And if there's one thing you can count on in these regime change wars, it's complexity.
It's complications.
So Israel's counting on us, stumbling into a war unintentionally.
They know we don't want to fight this.
They know there's no political will for this.
They're counting on us to stumble.
They're counting on us.
To invite Iran to bomb our bases so we have to go in and fail to depose their regime.
They're counting on Iran to get the bomb.
To call for a greater escalation from the United States.
This has been part of the plan and it's evil.
And the last thing I'll say about it is this, everything that's happening, everything, This is a really big deal, okay?
Why do you think this country is so messed up?
Do you think it has something to do with the fact that we've been at war for 25 years?
What would the country look like if we didn't spend $10 trillion in Iraq and Afghanistan in the global war on terror?
What would it look like?
And how that money would have compounded over time.
Think about how the United States was positioned in the 1990s.
The Cold War was over.
We had no enemies.
We had no foes.
No one could challenge us.
Never in history had there been a greater disparity in relative power between one country and every other country put together.
Think about the peace dividends that we would have had access to.
But in something like a decade, we found ourselves fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria, like 20 countries.
Drone striking them, invading them, fighting a counterinsurgency, spending trillions of dollars, engendering antipathy and distrust all across the world, taking our eye off the ball in Asia, in China, in the Pacific.
How different would our country be?
And look at our situation now.
We're bankrupt.
The debt is approaching $40 trillion.
The interest on the debt is going to be as much as military spending pretty soon.
Country's bankrupt.
We're going to have to monetize the debt.
It's going to be hyperinflation.
Everybody's getting squeezed.
And we're talking about another war.
By the way, what else is happening in the world?
We're in a war with Russia.
We're about to enter a war with China.
Taiwan and Guam are surrounded by Chinese warships right now.
We're supposed to be leaving these theaters.
We're supposed to be exiting Europe and the Middle East.
Now we're stuck in both while we're trying to pivot to Asia.
How is America going to remain a great power in the 21st century?
How are we going to remain the dominant great power in the 21st century?
If we're broke, Bankrupt?
Fighting everybody else's wars?
Stretched too thin?
This is a catastrophe.
It's a recipe for disaster.
And this has been brought to you by Israel and the Jews, okay?
You know, I see these people like Matt Walsh and Charlie Kirk and all these others.
They say things like, not another unnecessary war.
They say, why don't we fight the cartels instead?
I'll pull up some of their tweets and read them to you just to give you an idea.
The reason that we're not focusing on this, that, and the other problem, the reason we're not focusing on our people and our problems in our country is because our government is controlled by people loyal to Israel.
It's because Miriam Adelson donated $100 million to Trump to do exactly this.
And she's an Israeli Jew who's a single issue voter that only cares about Israel because Rupert Murdoch.
That's why he propagandized all the boomers on Fox and convinced Trump to support the strikes.
It's because AIPAC spent $100 million last year fighting every progressive incumbent that voted against foreign aid to Israel.
It's because social media and mainstream media is run by Zionist Jews.
And they censor and selectively edit the information to support a pro-Israel narrative.
In a word, why are we not focusing on our country like we should be?
Because organized Jewry, organized Jewish groups in the United States have too much power.
The Jewish billionaires, Jewish media, Jewish organizations.
Are influencing our society and our government to do things that are not in our interest through propaganda, through infiltration, through corruption and bribery.
That's why it's not happening.
So why don't we get that corollary?
Why don't we get that part of it?
Oh, I know why.
Because Matt Walsh works for Ben Shapiro.
So all Matt Walsh can do is give us these generic statements.
Oh, well, we really should focus on America.
Oh, well, you know, I don't care about Israel.
I think we should care about our border.
Well, why don't you take that up with your boss?
Why don't you take that up with your boss's corner office down the hall and to the left in Surfside, Florida, or whatever Jewish enclave?
Why don't you take it up with your dual allegiance, Israel first, Jew boss, who has used his platform for 10 years to push this war?
If you're so patriotic, if you're America first always, you're America first always, why don't you march your little faggot ass down to Ben Shapiro's office and tell him in person then?
Give me a break.
Don't insult our intelligence.
That is the part that I can't stand.
Because you know what?
Everybody's playing their part.
The Israelis are playing their part.
The Iranians are playing their part.
To some extent, the people in American government are playing their part.
What I cannot suffer are people that are lying to our fucking face.
Traitors that say they're America first.
And they're lying to our face.
Pretending to be conservative, pretending to be nationalist, pretending to be America first, lying about the situation, working for the enemy, and then pissing on our leg and telling us it's raining.
I think we should care about our own country.
Well, why aren't we?
It's because we aren't in control.
Who's we?
We should focus on this.
We should focus on that.
We are.
They aren't.
They're not like us.
They're not Christian.
They're not white.
They're not American.
They only care about the Jewish nation.
And they have all the power.
And that's a fucking problem.
That's why Israel's being put first.
So, if we should put America first, then we better find out why it's not happening.
And we better work to fight against the people that are making that not the case.
It's ridiculous.
I can't stand it anymore.
And people need to demand honesty.
How dare you lie like this?
How dare you?
You are going to hell.
And I said it before, I will say it again.
Fuck you and your family.
How dare you?
You call yourself a Catholic?
You call yourself an American?
If it's ignorance, it's irresponsible.
If it's a lie, you are wicked.
Israel's its own country and can take care of itself.
No, they cannot.
If they could, we wouldn't be there.
We do not need to be involved and should not be.
Well, we are.
And why do you think that is?
It's because your boss has been pushing it for a decade.
Netanyahu drove us into this conflict.
He dined with your boss and your colleagues at Daily Wire.
And you sit there with your hands in your lap like a bitch.
And you let them betray our country.
And people say they're playing some sick game.
They say they're infiltrating.
Infiltrating your ass.
Sorry for all that.
We're getting a little off the rails, but infiltrating nothing.
Give me a break.
Candace Owens had more balls than this guy.
Anyway, I'm done with them.
That's the last thing I have to say.
I can't stand it because it's just so dishonest.
You want to be pro-Israel?
Fine.
You want to tell us it's not a big deal?
Fine.
At least I could argue with that.
Don't lie.
I can't stand this subterfuge that's going on.
Oh, well, you know, we should just only care about America.
Yeah, we'd like to.
We would like to.
But someone doesn't want us to have peace.
Israel does not want us to have peace.
But you don't want to talk about that.
You don't care about that.
You say we're obsessed with that.
You say if we slip on a banana peel, we blame Israel.
No, I don't slip on a lot of banana peels.
Every time we get into war in the Middle East, I blame Israel, and rightfully so.
They say that all the time.
Oh, if you slipped on a banana peel, if you tripped on your shoelace, you blame Israel.
Yeah, less having to do with tripping on things, more like...
For good reason, I think.
Anyway, we're going to move on.
We're going to take a look at our super chats.
Got to take a deep breath.
But it just...
It's just wrong.
It's just wrong.
You know, who's fighting for our country?
Who's fighting for the truth?
You know, but Matt Walsh is a coward.
He grows a beard because he's hiding.
He's hiding behind his beard.
He grew out a big beard to hide behind it because he is a chinlet.
Matt Walsh has no chin.
He has no jaw.
He grew out a beard to hide his ugly, sad face.
And that is his entire persona.
His entire persona serves the same function as the beard.
The style consultant, the hair, the beard, the whole look.
It's a costume.
You're hiding.
You're a coward.
You're boring.
You are conventional.
You are hiding.
You should not be in a responsible position.
It's not for cowards.
He's clearly a practical man.
He's clearly a conventional man, a simple man.
Then go be a farmer and leave leadership to other people.
Leave leadership to people that have integrity, that tell the truth.
You want to be practical and simple?
You don't want to rock the boat?
You don't want to use your imagination?
You don't want to be an iconoclast?
Then go be a mechanic or something.
I don't know what to tell you.
Go do something else.
You're in a position of responsibility.
You have a platform.
You need to use it to tell the truth for the sake of your country and your God.
Like, this is biblical.
Israel's using our country, destroying it in the process to build their own empire so they could rebuild the third temple for their satanic religion.
They are Satan worshippers.
These Kabbalists, these Talmudists, they're Satan worshippers.
They're wicked.
They say there's a virtue in hatred.
They say we're animals.
They slaughter without remorse.
They hate our God.
They hate our Savior.
They hate our civilization.
And you're working for them.
You're helping them.
You're playing their game.
You can't be doing this.
You can't be in a position of responsibility.
That's just true.
Please tell me I'm wrong.
Debate me.
If we're the insane, you know, broken clock that you say we are, then let's have that debate.
I will show you the sources on all of it.
They don't want to do it because they know.
They know the jig is up.
All right, anyway.
We were going to get into the Super Chats for real this time.
Had to go back in.
Had to go back in real quick.
Had to go back in for another wave of strikes on Matt Walsh.
No, but I really can't stand him.
You know, even more so than Shapiro, because it's like, like I said, Shapiro's a Jew.
He's a Zionist.
He's being loyal to his people.
He's being loyal to his God.
He doesn't believe in Christ.
He's on the wrong side.
But there's something to be said for that.
He's playing his part for his family, for his God, for his religion, for his people.
Whereas Matt Walsh is working for Shapiro.
Sick.
Sick.
You have no right to complain.
You have no right then to go live every day and complain about how terrible things are.
You're part of the problem.
You are part of the problem.
And what's stopping you from going, you know, you want to go and make videos about woke Disney movies and what is a woman?
pizza friday just filled out my nick fuentes was right form used to think you were super gay but i was wrong what can we do besides educate ourselves and force multiply war room listener um Well, thanks, I guess, for that.
I'm not going to have a self-deprecating best man speech where some rizzless faggot is going to stand behind me at dinner and say, I don't know how you've met this guy.
He said we shouldn't offensively go after Iran, which means we should be involved defensively, which is being involved, which will lead to us being involved.
Given that Israel has attacked Iran and wishes to drag the U.S. into a war with Iran, can the Iranian regime survive if and only if they fully nuclearize and obtain nuclear bombs?
Do you think Iran is capable of creating nuclear bombs in these difficult circumstances?
But, you know, it's also cool getting old because you have adult money and you do whatever you want.
Be awesome.
You're not a freak.
When you're a kid, you're just like a maniac.
I'm still a little bit of a maniac, but you really do feel the difference.
Once you kind of get over that hump of like 24, 25. You really do feel your brain maturing.
You just don't make the same impulsive mistakes you did when you were a kid.
Or you make less of them.
When I was an adolescent, I was just an unhinged lunatic.
Like, just a total maniac.
Really, in the past two or three years, I've really felt myself mature.
And it's not all bad.
I thought I would hate it, but I don't.
I thought I would be beside myself, but, um...
You know, I don't look super old.
I don't feel super...
I have a lot of aches and pains all the time.
My body's trying to kill me at all times, but...
It's like, I see younger people getting together and I'm like, I hate them, you know?
because it's like they're having the best time ever.
You know what it's like to be like 15 and like riding your bike and...
All your friends are married and have jobs and they're like talking about gay bullshit like they're on a diet and they say, oh I can't, I have work tomorrow, tonight's a work night.
They can't go to stuff because they have jobs and they have to tell their wife everything.
New York Times, today, the Trump administration has abruptly shifted the focus of its mass deportation campaign, telling ICE to pause raids and arrests in agriculture, hotels, and restaurants.
According to an internal email, oh my gosh, you fell for it again.
no king's protest not to mention it's Trump's birthday it just seems like a good way to speed up US involvement in the conflict looking back God bless Yeah, everyone has said the same thing.
"Justifern said $10.
My bad if this is a retarded question, but wouldn't it be very difficult to implement regime change in Iran without boots on ground which Israel needs the US for?
