Nick Fuentes addresses the DOJ's fraud indictment against the SPLC, alleging $3 million in informant payments while refuting claims he was an agent during his teenage years. He details the center's history of doxing him and argues that pro-Trump influencers falsely accuse him to discredit him amidst a broader establishment conspiracy. The discussion shifts to the Iran conflict, where Trump rejects Tehran's proposal for permanent Strait of Hormuz control in favor of an indefinite U.S. naval blockade targeting six ports to pressure nuclear surrender, despite military stalemate risks. Ultimately, Fuentes frames these events as evidence of a coordinated effort to suppress far-right voices while advancing Israeli geopolitical interests through economic warfare and political manipulation.

What makes Christianity and Christ so different from the other religions is that our religion is based on the bearing of suffering for the sake of even those that persecute us.
An overflowing of love, an overflowing of self giving love, so much of it it cannot be contained.
An unconditional, absolute standard of love for all of God's children.
even those that are misguided, even those that persecute us, even the most heinous among us.
We have a tendency to unthinkingly always support the right wing.
Why?
Because the Republicans are better than the Democrats.
Here's a little perspective.
Let's say that Kamala Harris had won the election in 2024.
If Kamala doubled down on supporting Ukraine as Trump has, if Kamala bombed Iran, there'd be riots in the streets.
People would say our illegitimate president, who cheated her way into the nomination, she's expanding the war, she's expanding World War III into the Middle East.
Everybody would say this is illegitimate, this is like a crime.
But because it was Trump, 90% of Republicans supported Trump bombing Iran on Israel's behalf.
Because it was Trump.
If it was Kamala, do you think 90% of Republicans would have supported it?
Absolutely not.
Democrats wouldn't support it, independents wouldn't support it, and Republicans would not support it.
And it's time to just say it outright Donald Trump is the Matrix president, okay?
In 2016, Hillary Clinton was the Matrix candidate.
In 2020, Joe Biden was the matrix candidate.
But in 2024, Donald Trump was.
And why?
After October 7th, the Jews knew that the Republican Party, controlled by AIPAC, controlled by Israel, and with Trump in office, they were going to let Israel do whatever they wanted to do.
It's clear, it's obvious.
And the media is in on it.
Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and the media are all in on it because Trump is their matrix candidate.
That's why CNN is friendly to them.
That's why Silicon Valley gave him hundreds of millions of dollars.
That's why Wall Street did.
And Trump is just dispensing the favors.
Corporate tax cuts for Wall Street, bombing Iran for Israel.
This is the story of the 2024 election.
And here's the red pill that nobody's ready for JD Vance is the Matrix candidate.
They ordered Trump to nominate him.
Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Tucker Carlson ordered Trump to pick JD Vance.
We live in a system that is controlled by one party, and they played the parties off of each other.
They've done it forever.
When Israel was under attack, They played into the right wing because they knew that the Republican Party would say things like, There's a Muslim takeover of America.
Trump said he was going to bomb Iran.
We're tough.
So they leaned into the Republican cultural stuff.
That's why Charlie Kirk says Islam is taking over America, because that kind of Islamophobic rhetoric plays well with the right wing.
That's why they did it.
There's no Muslim takeover of America, there's a Jewish takeover of America, obviously.
And the Republicans are involved in it just as much as the Democrats.
Now they're ready to cut the umbilical cord and become their own superpowers.
We endured the cost, we paid the money, our soldiers died, our country burned so that an Israeli superpower could be born.
And now our country will be in the wreckage.

Alantir, analytics company.
They use artificial intelligence to look at vast amounts of data and create insights.
If the government has an amount of data which is kind of unimaginable, if you've got every phone call, every email, every transaction, every photograph of a license plate on the highway, satellite data, it's too much data for a bureaucracy to sift through.
Palantir comes in and interprets the data using.
Algorithms using artificial intelligence, using software to make vast amounts of data usable.
That's what they are.
And so many of the people that worked with Elon that came into the government through Doge worked with Palantir.
Now that Doge is finished, Palantir seems to be just getting started.
This would be the third time that Israel has threatened to use nukes to force the United States to help them.
The first time was in 1973.
When Syria and Egypt launched a surprise attack on Israel, which started the Yom Kippur War on October 6th, 1973, almost 50 years exactly before October 7th, Israel was almost overrun.
And the United States was reluctant to provide them with the military support that they needed to defend themselves.
So, the prime minister of Israel, Golda Meir, called up Nixon and said, If you don't help us, we will nuke Syria and Egypt.
We will use our nuclear arsenal.
We will nuke the Middle East.
And you want to know what happened next?
The largest airlift by tonnage of military equipment in the history of the earth.
Everything that Israel needed to defend themselves.
The next day, there's a word for that.
It's called nuclear blackmail.
These people are maniacs.

the september attacks, there were countless rumors about strange coincidences surrounding the events.
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.
Very excited to be back here with you tonight on Tuesday.
We have a lot to talk about tonight, lots to get into.
Big show.
Kind of a slow week, if I'm being honest.
I said it last night, and it's so true.
I'm away for two weeks.
I'm thinking that something big is going to happen, something's going to change because the news was slow even at the beginning of the month.
But nothing is going on.
But that's okay.
Our featured story tonight, we're going to pick up where we left off yesterday.
We're going to talk all about this huge indictment against the SPLC by the DOJ.
And there's been a lot that has been said about this on social media, a lot of discussion about it.
There has been a major, major indictment, a fraud charge against the SPLC.
For those that don't know, SPLC is the Southern Poverty Law Center.
That has emerged and has become one of the biggest left wing activist organizations, super rich.
They actually have, according to their most recent tax filing, $700 million in the bank, all in cash.
And the big fraud charge stems from something like a counterintelligence program that they've been running since the 1980s.
And for those that don't know, the SPLC has effectively been paying far right extremists.
Which they say is an informant program.
We'll talk about what that means and why they consider it that.
But they've paid over $3 million over the years to something like three dozen different confidential informants that they say have been positioned to infiltrate right wing groups, far right groups, white supremacist groups, neo Nazi groups, the Klan, NSM, people that organized Charlottesville.
The DOJ says that this constitutes.
A deception or a fraud, they say, that the SPLC represents to the donors that they're fighting right wing extremism.
But technically speaking, if they're pouring $3 million into right wing extremist groups, even if they are informants, technically it constitutes fraud.
They're defrauding the donors.
They're telling them they're fighting extremism, which they're actually funding.
And we'll talk all about it.
It's a pretty big story.
And I said it last night.
I actually support the indictment.
I support the investigation.
I don't know if it's going to hold up in court.
I don't know if it's good, legally speaking, but I do think it's a huge step in the right direction.
And the Trump administration should be doing this with all these left wing groups.
I don't know why we stop here at the SPLC.
You should have something like this, and maybe not specifically a fraud indictment, but there should be a comprehensive investigation of every one of these Media Matters, ADL, SPLC.
Right wing watch, which is under People for the American Way.
That should just be for openers.
That should have been for starters at the very beginning.
And we are now a year and a half into the second Trump administration.
We already have turnover at the DOJ.
And it seems that the new acting attorney general, Todd Blanch, he's actually less aggressive than Pam Bondi, which does not really bode well.
It's not good.
In other words, if Pam Bondi was this slow, She was actually, from what I hear on the inside, she was actually pretty good.
And at least she was willing to do some of these things, specifically these indictments against Trump's enemies or against the far left.
She seemed like she was totally down to do these things, and it's minimal.
Now we have this new acting attorney general, Todd Blanch, and he seems to be even more conservative than her, even slower.
So we'll talk a little bit about what's going on at DOJ.
We'll talk about the indictment.
We're also going to talk about some of the allegations against me.
I saw this story come out.
Admittedly, it's sort of an old story, it came out last week.
We didn't get to cover it.
When the story dropped, everybody said that I was involved.
There was a story about SPLC paying the far right, paying informants.
And so naturally, the pro Trump MAGA crowd everybody said, oh, well, that's Nick Fuentes.
The reason he's supporting Democrats in the midterms is because he's an informant for the SPLC.
This is what I see in my replies on Twitter for the past week.
It's all the usual suspects saying, oh, you took the check from the SPLC, you sold out.
And we'll talk about that too.
I addressed it a little bit last night by simply saying if you Google my name in the SPLC, you'll see that they have been on my case for like 10 years.
As long as I've been doing the show, they have been on my case.
And I don't mean that they have been negative towards me, I mean, they have tried to destroy my operation, destroy my life.
They doxed my address, my parents, my employees, my interns, people that I know.
And they've done that for a very long time.
But nobody cares.
You know, that doesn't really matter.
So, anyway, so we'll talk all about that.
That's going to be our main story.
And then we're also going to get a little bit into the war in Iran.
The thing about the war in Iran is nobody even really knows where we are with this.
The situation in the war is virtually unchanged, which is crazy because I went away for two weeks and we were in a position where Trump had just announced the ceasefire.
And although the ceasefire had theoretically been agreed upon and was announced and everything, nobody was really sure exactly what the terms were and whether both parties had agreed to the same thing.
When I left, there was a ton of uncertainty about what the status of that agreement was.
Nevertheless, there is something like a ceasefire still in place.
And the ceasefire was supposed to actually have expired last week, exactly this day last week.
And as the ceasefire was supposed to expire, because the conditions for the ceasefire had still not been met, Trump announced an indefinite extension of the ceasefire shortly before it was set to expire.
And so that is, technically speaking, where we are.
If you're following the press releases, the true social posts, the official statements from the government, we are still in the ceasefire phase of the conflict.
And this time, we don't even know what it's for.
I'll talk a little bit more about that tonight in detail.
But if you remember, the original ceasefire said there's going to be a two week cessation of hostilities so that Iran and the United States could agree to a comprehensive deal to end the war.
That has not happened.
And as far as we know, there are no negotiations going on either.
So we don't have a comprehensive deal.
We're not on our way to a comprehensive deal, it's not even being negotiated.
The other major sticking point for the ceasefire.
Was that Iran would have to open up the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping?
Well, they haven't done that either.
Strait of Hormuz has not been opened throughout the entire duration of the ceasefire for the most part, and still is not open.
So, if the original conditions for the ceasefire were we're going to create this allowance so that diplomacy can resume as long as the Strait is opened, well, neither of those things have happened.
Neither of those things are happening.
And yet, even though those conditions are unfulfilled, the ceasefire got extended, except this time it's indefinite.
The first ceasefire was two weeks.
They said there's a deadline.
Another deadline, another ultimatum.
They said two weeks to make a deal, two weeks, and then we resume the kinetic operations against Iran.
Now it's just wide open.
Now it's indefinite.
We don't really know where we are in the conflict.
We've stopped bombing them, yet the Strait of Hormuz is closed.
And now the only thing that has changed is that since the ceasefire expired, the United States has imposed a blockade of its own of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has closed the strait for all other shipping that is aligned with the United States.
Now, the U.S. Navy has closed the strait, a blockade for all other shipping that is connected to Iran.
And it's not just energy, but it's all international shipping that is in support of Iran.
The only difference is our blockade is far less effective because of the operating distance, because of the proximity to the strait where the U.S. Navy is able to operate in the Arabian Sea.
So, we'll talk a little bit about that tonight.
We're going to get into the state of the conflict and talk about where it is going.
But, I mean, like I said, all there is really to say about it is that there still seems to be no strategy here.
Here we are.
It's the end of April.
So, it's been actually two full months.
War started on February 28th, it's April 28th.
Two full months of conflict.
Not only have we not achieved any of our objectives, we've actually gone backwards because the strait is now closed.
So, we achieved nothing of what we sought to do from the very beginning.
And then, during the course of the war, the Strait was taken by Iran.
Maybe we just need to get further into spring and summer.
But I go on the news today, and what are the big stories?
There's a visit from the king, Trump is putting his face on the passport.
So that's great.
And I think that's about it for the news today.
I saw that Trump is putting his face on the US passport.
And it's like I said last night, it seems like that's all this administration really even does.
I mean, 10 years ago, you would have found something like that funny.
I can't lie.
I would have fell for that 10 years ago.
During the first Trump administration, if the Trump White House social media was saying that two kings met today, the King of England and the King of America, I would think that was really funny and they were trolling the left.
And if Trump put his face on the passport and put a portrait of Joe Biden in the White House, but it's actually an auto pen, I would have thought that stuff was hilarious.
But when everything else is so bad, When the foreign policy, immigration policy, domestic policy, when all this other stuff is so bad and it's not happening, it almost makes it worse.
Not only is it not funny, it's actually like insulting.
So, to me, that was like the big, or I shouldn't say to me, in the news, that was the big story today is that Trump is modifying the U.S. passport.
If you renew your passport, you're going to get a portrait of Donald Trump in the booklet.
And it's going to trigger all this conversation in the media about how, oh, Trump.
Is really overstepping.
Oh, this is ridiculous.
I can't believe it.
It's like, of course, you can believe it.
It's all absurd.
And whoever's going to be the next president is just going to undo all of it the second they get in.
And it's all going to be pointless.
So, anyway, but we are going to move on.
We're going to get into our big story for tonight, which is the major indictment of the SPLC by the Department of Justice.
And what I have to say about this is like, okay, finally, wasn't this the whole point of the second Trump administration?
I remember when Trump was running for president in 2024.
To me, the only argument that you could even really use to justify voting for Trump is something like this that he had been royally screwed over in the first term.
He was sabotaged from the inside by his own personnel, by the intelligence community, by the FBI, by the Democrats, even by the Republicans.
The election was stolen and rigged against him.
Then they tried to send him to jail and kill him.
They indicted him.
They were going to send him up for 115 years in prison.
And then ultimately, they shot him in the head.
And so the argument went something like this because of all of that, because of that experience, Trump was going to be the vengeance of America.
That we raised up this challenge against the hegemonic left wing in 2016, we won fair and square.
We should have gotten change.
Instead, we found out the whole system was rigged.
Trump had a mandate to govern.
We were supposed to get a border wall and a new trade agreement and the wars in the Middle East.
But because of this systematic and structural obstruction, we were effectively denied what we were owed.
And so now, because the system is so screwed up and so rigged, Trump was supposed to come back in with a vengeance, having learned his lesson, so to speak.
He learned how Washington works.
He learned.
That he can't trust certain people.
And now he's pissed off.
So now he's not playing around.
Now he's going to punch everybody in the face and we're going to get what we're owed.
That was the premise.
And by the way, Trump played into that throughout the entire campaign.
I remember in 2024, and I'm sure you do as well, he went to CPAC, he went to the rallies, and he said, I am your vengeance.
That was a line they used.
And they wrote that line, and that was part of the stump speech.
And they knew what they were doing during the primary in particular.
In 2023 and in early 2024, that was the message.
I will be your vengeance.
I'm not just going to be your voice.
I'm going to be your retribution, your vengeance.
And a lot of people love this idea that Trump was going to come in and he was going to be this burn it all down figure that he never was in the first term.
He would truly be retribution.
And then you might remember during the general election, they changed the message a little bit.
They stopped saying that, they softened the message.
Suddenly it wasn't mass deportations and indictments and retribution.
Suddenly it turned into Stapling green cards to diplomas.
And if Iran gets a nuke, we're going to wipe them off the map.
And, you know, we have to let people in legally.
We need the people, we need the labor, et cetera.
The message changed.
Trump gets in.
Okay, well, now it's May nearly 2026, and we don't have any of this.
There's no retribution against illegals.
There's no retribution against foreign adversaries or allies for that, a closest ally for that matter.
There's no retribution against the deep state and the bureaucracy.
And so, one of the big things that we were looking for in this term was indictments.
Is the Trump DOJ going to persecute its enemies in the way that the Biden Justice Department persecuted theirs?
Because what did Joe Biden do when he got into office?
Almost before he got into office, they started charging people.
The DOJ hired a thousand judges, 10,000 FBI agents.
And they went after everybody that was involved in January 6th, everybody that was involved at every level.
And they started going after people from the Trump administration and the Trump campaign.
And they started going after Trump himself.
And so this was a serious, comprehensive lawfare campaign to systematically destroy the MAGA movement.
And this went on throughout 21, 22, 23.
Trump administration gets in.
We don't have nothing, nothing.
No indictment on Obama, on the Clintons, not using the Epstein files for that matter.
Not using it against.
Today, we just got something against James Comey, tried to do it against a couple of other officials, but it fell through.
Finally, finally, last week, and this is the good news finally, the DOJ announced a major indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center.
And this indictment is sort of interesting because it reveals the true nature and the activities of the far left.
So, Southern Poverty Law Center is one of these legal activist organizations, started up in the civil rights era.
And it was supposed to be one of these groups that defends the rights of the minorities and the oppressed.
They came up in the civil rights era and they were defending mostly black people from civil rights violations.
But it was also Jews and all the other disaffected, so called marginalized groups.
The indictment against the SPLC alleges that they committed fraud because of a program that they have been running for almost 50 years.
It's effectively a counterintelligence program.
So you think of the SPLC and you think of legal activism.
You think of how, for example, one of their activities, they have a program called Hate Watch, where they monitor hate organizations, hate speech, extremist groups.
That's one of their activities.
They also represent people in the event of a civil rights violation.
I believe they brought some of the civil litigation against the Charlottesville organizers and they supported that.
So, these are some of the activities that they're known for and that you might imagine that they get up to.
But this indictment, again, alleging fraud, reveals that not only do they do all these ordinary things, but they also have been paying informants under the table to the tune of millions of dollars, upwards of $3 million, to effectively go into far right extremist organizations, allegedly to spy on them.
So, over the decades, they have been paying people in the Ku Klux Klan.
In the National Socialist Movement, people that attended and organized Charlottesville, all of the major so called hate groups, neo Nazi, white nationalist, Christian identity, groups like this, they have been paying people inside those organizations, in many cases, like lots of money, like a full time salary, part time or full time salary.
One individual is paid more than a million dollars.
That's a lot of money to be a deadbeat in the Klan or something.
And paying these people allegedly to spy on the activities of those organizations.
The DOJ says that that constitutes fraud because the SPLC is representing to their donors that they're fighting extremism, hate groups, hate speech, when in reality, no matter what you call it, whether they're informants or whatever, they are not being forthright about it, they're not being transparent about it.
They are clandestinely and secretly giving money to those very same organizations.
Far right organizations.
And they're using what could be illegal accounting tricks to hide the money trail, to hide the paper trail for those disbursements.
And this is the story.
This is from the Associated Press.
We'll just go through some of the details here.
It says The Southern Poverty Law Center was indicted Tuesday on federal fraud charges alleging it had improperly raised millions of dollars to secretly pay leaders of the Ku Klux Klan and other hate groups for inside information.
The Justice Department alleges the civil rights group defrauded donors by using their money to fund the very extremism it claimed to be fighting, with more than $3 million paid to informants through a now defunct program to infiltrate white supremacist and other extremist groups.
The civil rights group faces charges of wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering in the case brought in the federal court in Alabama.
The group said the program was used to monitor threats of violence, and the information was often shared with local and federal law enforcement.
The indictment includes details on at least nine unnamed informants paid by the SPLC through a secret program that prosecutors said began in the 1980s.
Within the SPLC, they were known as field sources or the Fs, according to the indictment.
One informant was paid more than $1 million between 2014 and 2023.
So, $1 million over nine years, that's like a six figure salary practically.
And that individual was affiliated with the Neo Nazi National Alliance.
Prosecutors say another informant was a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.
The informant attended the rally at the direction of the SPLC and helped coordinate transportation for several others.
That person was allegedly paid more than $270,000 between 2015 and 2023.
So the first thing I want to say about this, and this is just at this point, what even do you say?
The first thing I want to do is clear the air.
So, this story comes out last week.
This is an old story, and it's what I just read to you.
The DOJ is indicting SPLC for fraud because of this informant program.
They say it's defunct, but it's been operational since at least a few years ago.
And basically, the SPLC caught wind of this investigation.
It started in the first Trump administration, shelved under Biden, came back in Trump, too.
And I believe the SPLC wound this program down because they caught wind that this was going to be a problem for them.
So it says it's defunct, but not really.
It's more like they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar and then they had to cover their tracks.
But in any case, Story comes out.
And almost immediately after the story comes out, people start to say that I am one of the field operatives.
What do they call it?
A field source?
Particularly the one that I just named that went to Charlottesville.
And I'll reread that last paragraph for you.
People started to say that this person was me.
The story comes out.
We don't even have all the details.
We have the indictment, but this is the part that everybody said was me.
It says, quote, Another informant was a member of the online leadership chat group that planned Unite the Right.
The informant attended the rally at the direction of the SPLC, helped coordinate transportation for several others.
That person was paid $270,000 between 2015 and 2023.
Everybody immediately took that.
All the pro Trump influencers, there's no evidence.
It doesn't even make sense.
We'll talk about why.
But that little blurb, because that is what is in the indictment, they sort of break down.
Nine of the informants, that little blurb, everybody said, oh, that must be Fuentes because he was at J6.
Now we're hearing about the SPLC.
Oh, the far right was always a spook.
And I want to talk about it, about me in particular, but I also want to talk about the far right in general.
Let's just talk about me in particular first.
So, just for anybody that is curious or in doubt or anything like that, first of all, the details don't even make sense.
The indictment says this person was paid from 2015 to 2023.
Two, as it pertains to Charlottesville, and I've told this story a million times, I didn't even actually go to Charlottesville.
And you might say, well, what does that mean?
It was a last minute decision.
I did not organize Charlottesville.
I didn't know any of the leaders at Charlottesville.
At that time, I was 18.
I was 18 when Charlottesville happened.
I was a college dropout, I had no connections.
And I made a last minute decision to go about two or three days before the rally.
I wasn't even in the city for the Tiki Torch March.
And by the time I landed the day of the actual protest, by the time I got to my hotel, the whole thing was already over.
I literally just got there late.
And I could show you receipts for that, I could show you proof.
But I've told this story, it's been consistent for like 10 years.
I showed up at my hotel at like 11 a.m., the Saturday of the rally.
By that time, the police had already dispersed it.
I got there late.
Everybody was getting chased out of the park.
I went with James Alsup, a handful of other people.
We were there for like a half hour, then I went back to my hotel.
So, none of those details even make sense.
One other thing, which is a little bit relevant, I have been at war with the SPLC for my entire career.
And they have done horrible things to me.
Not least of all, including they doxed my assistant who went by the name of Ju Groyper.
This was my only full time employee.
They doxed him.
Two of my interns that were working on Capitol Hill for Paul Gosar and Marjorie Taylor Greene doxed those people.
The biggest one and the best one, though, is that in 2022.
They are actually the group responsible for doxing my home address.
You remember this?
You might have heard about it.
About a year and a half ago, I put out a tweet after the election.
I said, Your body, my choice.
It went super viral, it got 100 million views.
Because the tweet generated so much outrage, people found my address and hundreds of people, that's not an exaggeration, started showing up to my house, knocking on my door, throwing eggs at my house.
Doing all kinds of things, recording my house, honking their horn, whatever.
And it led to someone trying to kill me.
A young man, 23 year old man, came to my door with a gun after he killed three people already.
He killed his best friend, best friend's mom, and sister.
And then he drove three hours to my house, to my front door, marched up to the front door with a gun with the intention of killing me.
All of that happened because in 2022, when I actually moved into my new address, The SPLC doxed my house.
They posted a picture of my house on their website and they linked to my address.
They interviewed my neighbors and published about my whereabouts, when I come and go, what floor I live on.
And I'll read you this is from the article.
You can Google it.
The headline is Nick Fuentes trades parents' basement for pricey live streaming den.
Pricey live streaming den.
It was It was a $390,000 three flat in Berwyn, Illinois.
Okay.
Pricey live streaming den.
It's not, this is like a working class neighborhood.
That's not that much money.
It's a three flat apartment building.
They say pricey live streaming den is crazy.
You would have thought it's like some million dollar single family home in like Park Ridge or Hinsdale or Elmhurst.
Pricey live streaming den is crazy.
Yeah, he bought an apartment building in Pilsen.
Living like a real king, this guy.
Anyway, so that's the headline Trade's parents' basement.
I think I was 22 when I moved out.
I know that's totally insane to live with your parents when you're 22.
Anyway, but this is the article.
It says, quote, Hate Watch spoke to several of Fuentes's neighbors whose names are being withheld over concerns they may be harassed or targeted by Fuentes's followers.
You're interviewing my neighbors.
It says on the topic of Fuentes, most of the neighbors Hate Watch spoke with say the live streamer who pumps out vociferous white nationalist propaganda on his live streams appears meek in real life, keeping to himself, apparently entertaining few visitors, and does not call attention to himself.
Several said that when he is at his home in Berwyn, his movements appear to be limited to passing from his garage to the back door of the apartment.
Fuentes's building is located on a quiet tree lined street.
A short walk from one of Berwyn's main shopping districts.
On the block where the white nationalist two story building is located, Hate Watch observed his neighbors doing weekend chores and children playing in yards and on sidewalks.
From the property's exterior, Hate Watch observed the basement apartment and the first floor was empty.
They're literally looking through my windows.
On the second floor, the blinds were drawn.
Hate Watch also observed a construction permit on the window of the first floor of the building.
Neighbors confirmed Hate Watch's impression that the basement and first floor appear to be currently unoccupied, with Fuentes and his live streaming operation on the second floor.
On another visit, A Hate Watch reporter knocked on the front door, but there was no answer.
So, look, like, I'm not one to complain.
You know that about me.
One thing you know about me is I don't complain.
Like, I hate complaining.
But how messed up is it?
How messed up is this?
This is insane.
This is fucked up.
And this is totally insane that a far left political group with a billion dollars in cash. Is posting for everybody to know where a person lives with this much detail.
It's not like they're reporting on my rhetoric or my show or my operation.
They're literally telling everybody, This is where he lives.
Get him.
If you want to kill this guy, this is where he is.
This is where you can find him.
This is where you can physically hurt this person.
That's all that is.
And everybody knows that.
That is like a soft form of homicide because that is what they're doing here.
They're trying to incite people to kill me.
They're saying if you want to mess with this person, harass this person, intimidate, assault, murder this person, this is where you can find them.
That's what it is.
While simultaneously saying he's a vociferous white nationalist, but he's evil, his fans are insane.
Okay.
But then it gets better.
If that's not bad enough, so this super rich organization is just doxing a civilian, doxing a citizen.
That's not bad enough.
They get what they want.
Okay.
The dox exists because of the SPLC.
And when I get in controversy, people start showing up.
And yeah, someone tries to kill me, and now a young man is dead.
Not this young man, but the person that tried to kill me was killed by police.
Now, fast forward a year and a half later, and people are seriously saying that I'm getting paid by this organization.
People are saying, oh, you sold out to the SPLC.
You took money.
Oh, now I see why you support the Democrats.
You're an SPLC informant.
And no one will ever know, and no one will ever care, because that is the nature of the information space.
These pro Trump influencers, they do not care about the truth.
They have no integrity.
They're all being paid.
They have identified me as somebody that is contrary to Trump, contrary to the Republican Party.
And so, because I am the enemy, now they're just going to put that out there.
They don't care that it's not true.
Laura Loomer, all these other people putting this stuff out, this is just going to be another one of those things they say about me, just like the J6 thing.
Oh, that SPLC.
Oh, I heard he was with the SPLC.
It's just one of those things that through repetition they put out there.
And nobody knows the SPLC is responsible for almost taking my life.
I have to move because of them, because they almost killed me.
And now I'm going to be tarred for the rest of my career with this insinuation that I'm also being paid by them.
So even if somebody tries to kill you, they're still going to say you're being paid by them.
Okay?
And by the way, here's the other part that's even better.
All these people that are saying that, they never got targeted by the SPLC.
The SPLC is only one among many groups that are like this.
There is the SPLC, there is the ADL, there is the.
Media Matters for America.
There is Right Wing Watch, Project for American Way, Atlantic Council, Digital Forensics Lab.
You have all these different outfits.
You have all these different NGOs, excuse me, nonprofits, activist groups, and their job is to put the screws on the far right through whatever it's like guerrilla warfare paying informants, doxing you, going after your payments, going after your family, your associates, bringing the government down on you.
They don't play fair.
They don't play nice.
This is what they do.
And the rich irony in this is that the center right people that are accusing me and others of being feds or informants for the SPLC never get targeted by the far left, never get censored.
All these people that are saying this take like Chris Ruffo and Lomez, for example.
These are two guys that have a show on the blaze.
Lomez, his real name is Jonathan Kieperman, he's at Passage Press.
Christopher Ruffo's at Manhattan Institute.
They had been putting that kind of stuff out there that the far right are all feds.
They're with the SPLC, whatever.
These are two center right guys that have a job at the Blaze, have a job at the Paul Singer funded Manhattan Institute.
They've never been censored in their lives.
They never got banned on Twitter.
They never got banned on YouTube, and they still aren't.
They never got banned on PayPal.
They never got banned on Stripe.
No one ever tried to kill them.
They never got doxxed.
And this is the classic, because here, I'm trying to paint a picture here for you.
No, because they were in a handshake agreement with the far left.
The far left wants the far right destroyed, and that means that you get this very moderate and weak and flaccid center right that isn't really a threat.
The center right allows this because then they are protected on their right flank.
Whereas someone like myself would challenge Charlie Kirk or Ben Shapiro and say, You're not right wing enough, you're not pure enough, you're not giving the people what they want.
Whereas we would ordinarily be in competition on the college campus, on the social platform, now we are taken out of the equation.
And now there's no competition.
Think about it.
For many years, who did Ben Shapiro have to compete with?
Nobody.
Because everybody else was banned from Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube for the better part of the last decade.
It was the institutional center right establishment right wingers that literally cut deals with Facebook.
And they were the biggest ad providers.
Daily Wire was the second biggest ad buyer on Facebook for like five years.
They cut deals with Google.
And the deal was that as long as they didn't.
Say anything conspiratorial about the vaccine or the pandemic, they would keep their channels.
Meanwhile, everybody else got cut down for one thing or another election denial, COVID conspiracy, anti Semitism, white nationalism, whatever.
So that was always, they were always in bed together.
That's the irony.
The center right will say that the far right is paid by the feds, the far right is controlled by the far left.
Or they'll say something like, The far left and far right are in a symbiotic relationship.
They'll say that the far left funds right wing extremism because right wing extremism creates the impetus for far left action.
In other words, if the far left funds the Ku Klux Klan and the Ku Klux Klan does a big visible public rally, then the far left is going to say, oh my gosh, the Klan is on the rise.
We need to give the SPLC more money.
People say the same thing about the ADL.
They say that people that criticize Israel are actually friends with the ADL because the more vocal and visible and sensational the anti Semitism is, the greater the need and the greater the funding for the ADL.
And so, this is a claim by the center right that the far right and the far left are in a symbiotic, mutualistic relationship.
The reality is the opposite the center right is in a mutualistic relationship with the far left.
And here is the case in point.
For years, the far left was putting the screws in the far right with censorship, with doxing, Antifa, showing up and disrupting the rallies, using violence, calling down federal law enforcement on the far right.
And the center right stood by and watched, and in many cases, participated in this.
It was not a few times that center right figures would pass along things that I had said or information about me to far left groups.
So that then they could sabotage me and basically do the dirty work of the center right.
And the reason that you know this is because the center right always uses the language of the far left.
When the center right wants to cancel the far right, what do they say about us?
They say, We're the real Nazis.
We're the real Klan.
We're the real white nationalists.
We're really engaged in hate speech.
And that's why we have to go.
Sean Hannity said that on his program this week.
Mark Levin said it this week.
Both Hannity and Mark Levin said on their shows, Nick Fuentes needs to be censored.
Sean Hannity said, I should not have a platform.
Mark Levin said, we should censor more hate speech.
Well, who drives all of that?
Who is driving hate speech legislation?
Who's driving even, let's say, the monitoring of hate speech?
Who's on that far right beat that's creating all of the hysteria about that?
It's the far left.
So, on the contrary, and this is why I said we need to talk about me in particular.
And then this conversation in general, there is this ongoing dialectical conversation about the far left, the far right, the center left, the center right, and how they're all interacting.
And that is the narrative that people are uncritically consuming.
I'm sure you've heard it before.
People say that really anybody to the right of Tucker Carlson must be a federal operative, anybody to the right of Sarah Palin, anybody to the right of Sean Hannity is a Fed.
Or is like Tucker himself says, they're in a symbiotic relationship with the ADL.
They're simply creating the crisis that the far left is there to address.
But when you actually think about it deep down, it couldn't be further from the truth.
It's actually the opposite.
And that is the narrative that we saw over the past week, which is what exactly?
All of the pro Trump influencers, which let's just say it Trump is center right.
The Republican Party, the MAGA movement, the Trump movement is center right.
They're saying about immigration, we only want to remove the criminals.
We don't want a mass deportation anymore.
They gave up on the border wall.
We're in a war with Iran, which was cheered on by all the legacy press.
So, the institutional right, establishment right, center right, Republican Party, Trump, they are the center right.
Everybody that is supporting the Trump movement is center right.
And all those influencers are now saying, we have this SPLC indictment, and they're saying, well, well, well, Charlottesville was funded by the left.
The far right extremists were funded by the left.
And they're licking their chops and they're saying, see?
See, we told you so.
Anything to the right of Trump, anything critical of Trump, in other words, anything right of the center, anything critical of the center is actually an operation.
It's illegitimate.
You can't trust it.
Don't look at it.
Don't go there.
But it is just true.
I would say, in the first place, the SPLC is funding a handful of informants in basically defunct organizations.
Have you even heard of any of these?
Have you ever even heard of the National Alliance?
I have, because I'm in the far right, but that's basically a defunct organization and has been.
The Klan, when's the last time you saw a Klan rally?
Is a Klan really an operative force in American politics?
National Socialist Movement, all these groups that the SPLC had informants in are basically irrelevant, first of all.
Second of all, I don't even think it's necessarily a lie to say that they were funding those informants to gather intelligence.
Because that is what the SPLC does.
So I don't even consider that to be relevant to the conversation.
It's not like they were funding AFPAC.
They weren't funding the Groypers.
They weren't funding the Proud Boys.
They weren't funding InfoWars.
They weren't funding, in other words, any of the groups that would be considered right of center and politically effective or viable or legitimate.
They were not involved in any of that.
It was all of the fringe skinhead type stuff from maybe 20 or 30 years ago.
But more to the point, they like to say, well, the SPLC and the far right, they're two sides of the same coin.
There's this horseshoe.
And I want to focus on something specifically.
This is something that Tucker Carlson has said, not about this, but about actually the ADL.
This is an idea which you hear all the time.
Tucker told me in person, he said, Netanyahu likes you.
And I almost want to say, well, how do you know that?
What do you talk to him?
But he says, Netanyahu likes you, and I know that.
He goes, and the ADL likes you, and I know that.
And he says on his show, why does the ADL, why do Netanyahu, why do they like the so called real anti Semites?
Because the so called real anti Semites create the pretext for the ADL to pass hate speech laws, for the ADL and groups like it to attract donors, to attract sponsorship, to carry out their various programs.
It creates the need for the ADL.
But I would say that obviously, when you look at the nature of ADL and the far right, SPLC and the far right, how can it be considered symbiotic or mutually beneficial when the ADL and SPLC are censoring us?
In other words, if they had it their way, we would be dead.
How could I be in a symbiotic relationship with the SPLC if they're posting my address on the internet?
If they had it their way, someone would come to my house and kill me.
Someone tried to.
And if I answered the door, he would have shot me in the face and I would be dead.
So, how is that a mutualistic relationship?
If the ADL had it their way, I would be banned on Twitter.
They got me banned on Twitter.
The same week that I was banned in July 2021, the ADL put out an article about me five things you need to know about Nick Fuentes.
And that is how I was banned on Twitter.
That is how I was banned on PayPal, Stripe, on every major platform.
In other words, if they had it their way, we would not exist.
We would not have funding.
We would not have a megaphone.
We would not even be alive.
If they had it their way, we would be gone.
And why is that?
Because what we are putting out there is contrary to their message.
If we are winning, what does winning constitute for us?
It means that we are creating an electorate or we're creating an entryist movement in government that is going to oppose Israel, liberalism, Jewish power, all these different things.
The civil rights regime, which sounds bad if you say you oppose that, but the civil rights regime is very far reaching.
If we have it our way, we're going to politically overturn all of those things.
That is why they exist.
We are in a war with them.
We're in a battle.
And so that's like saying if the United States kills the Ayatollah, we're in a symbiotic relationship with Iran because every IRGC member we kill, that's recruitment for them.
And every time they close the Strait of Hormuz, that creates a pretext for the United States to whatever.
Just because you're in a pitched conflict does not mean there's a Mutually beneficial relationship.
Let's examine, however, the relationship between ADL, SPLC, and the center right.
Why are the ADL and the SPLC not interested in the center right?
Because the center right does not oppose the political ends of the ADL and the SPLC.
What are the political ends, for example, of the ADL?
Well, they're very clear in their mission statement.
ADL says our job is to protect Jewish people from anti Semitism and to support the state of Israel.
Well, the center right believes in all of that.
The center right is liberal.
So that means when you see a cabal of Jewish oligarchs taking over America, they call that a meritocracy.
They say there's nothing wrong with that.
God bless Sheldon Adelson for making his fortune in casinos and then using hundreds of millions of dollars to bribe politicians.
That's his right as an American.
As liberals, they will not identify Jews as a distinct group because liberalism says that we're all individuals, we're all a blank slate.
As liberals, they will never identify Jews as a separate group.
Distinct nation with a meaningful identity, a meaningful sense of togetherness, a sense of nationhood, of Jewishness, and how that is going to influence society with Jews acting as a whole.
They'll never identify that.
And so that is why they will always support the civil rights regime, which protects Jews and their ascension through the institutions and their collective action as a group.
The center right will never oppose Israel.
Why?
Because the center right is funded by Israel.
Who is the center right funded by?
Fox News, Wall Street Journal, New York Post are all owned by Rupert Murdoch.
Murdoch is friends with Netanyahu, funded Netanyahu's reelection campaign five years ago.
Those are all the center right publications.
What else do you have?
The Blaze?
Blaze TV, merger of the Blaze and CRTV.
That's run by Glenn Beck, who cried because Israel wouldn't give him citizenship.
He said God gave him a mission, and that's to defend Israel.
Who broke the Sabbath to say kill all Palestinians on October 7th?
He's a Jew immigrant from South Africa who studied Jewish studies at university and converted his black wife to Judaism.
That's Fox, The Journal, The New York Post, The Blaze, CRTV, and Breitbart.
Then you've got Daily Wire, need I say more?
That's your center right.
So who's really in a symbiotic relationship with the far left?
The far left, if they had it their way, would kill the far right, and they have.
The far left has waged a war against the far right to censor, dox, cancel, kill, maim, all these things.
The center right has been complicit in all of this, has been immune from all of those things.
And that is because the far right is meaningfully opposed to the far left, whereas the center right is not.
The center right, even to the extent that they will go out on a limb and they will criticize Israel or the Jews or the civil rights regime.
They will do all of it within a liberal framework.
So, for example, when they talk about replacement migration, they don't say white people are being replaced by non white people.
And there is an element of the whole here, there's an element of identity here.
America as a white nation is different than America as a non white nation.
And it's not because of culture, it's not because of ideas or entrepreneurship or the Bill of Rights, it's because we're different.
Tribes are real, race is real.
We're not born as individuals on a blank slate.
We carry with us a genetic inheritance.
Our behaviors, our physical traits, our cognitive traits are genetic as well as learned, as well as environmental.
And maybe it's 50 50.
Maybe it's more genetic than it is environmental.
That's an illiberal idea.
The center right will say, we don't oppose replacement migration because whites are being replaced by non whites.
They will say, we oppose replacement migration because, you know, Their values are different, or it's a voting rights issue, or they need time to assimilate everything other than what it is.
And the same goes for Jewish power.
Will they say that we have a Jewish power problem in America?
That Jews as a collective have too much influence?
And that Jews, because of their identity, abuse their influence for their own tribe rather than the nation as a whole?
No, they never say that.
They say it's not about Jews.
It's not about Judaism.
It's not even about Israel.
They say it's about Netanyahu and Netanyahu's government and the things he's doing.
And if it wasn't for that, we wouldn't have a problem.
Well, again, that's not true.
And by the way, the ADL doesn't even disagree with that.
The ADL and the SPLC, they don't like Netanyahu either.
They work institutionally with Israel, institutionally with Jewish oligarchs in America.
So, in other words, the center right is not even really saying things that the far left disagrees with at all.
And that's why they don't oppose one another.
So, this is your SPLC indictment.
These are some of the bigger ideas.
Like I said, as far as the actual indictment is concerned, I'm not a lawyer, and people say that the actual Charges are on shaky legal ground.
I don't know that the fraud charges are going to stick.
I don't know that it's going to deliver a death blow to the SPLC.
Either way, I support it.
I think the DOJ should be doing more of this.
I think the DOJ should bring charges against all these far left groups SPLC, ADL, Media Matters, all of them.
Because these are the various organs of the left that are preventing the rise of the far right.
If it wasn't for the far left, we would have free reign.
I mean, are you kidding me?
I think about all the things I have had to put up with over the years in the form of debanking, censorship, taking away credit card processing, all the problems they have created, even just the guilt by association, the smear campaign.
If the far left were out of the picture, we would have a very easy time at everything.
So the Trump administration should really be doing a lot more.
It should not just be some Nicki Knack fraud charge against the SPLC.
It should be comprehensive.
They should all pay like this, and I do support it.
But to me, the bigger picture, Like, what's the story?
The Trump administration should fight the left more?
Obviously.
The bigger story is about how this has now been used.
And now this has become a narrative among the pro Trump influencers.
And now they like to say, see, all that exists is the far left and the Trump movement.
If you're not voting for Trump, if you're not glazing Trump, if you're not defending everything Trump does, then you're with the left.
And what that implicitly says is there are no enemies to the right.
And don't mistake what I mean by that.
This is a Straussian idea.
That's their playbook.
They say there is nothing to our right.
If we have enemies, they are more left wing than us.
There is nothing more far right than the Trump movement.
And that is not true.
There is something more far right than the Trump movement.
Trump is not the be all end all of the far right.
Obviously, if you've been watching my show for a long time, you know that.
And if you have a clue, the Trump movement is not doing what the far right wants, but they will categorize and say anything that's far right.
Is actually on the left.
It may appear to be far right.
It may appear to be more right wing than Trump, but in actuality, it's third worldist.
In actuality, it's funded by the left.
In actuality, it's a mirage and it exists to create a pretext for far left organizations.
And all of these are little discrediting, delegitimizing lies so that nobody looks for a better option.
So that the masses stay on the plantation, shrug their shoulders, and say, this is as good as it gets.
I guess we're only going to vote Republican.
My ideology is loyalty to Trump.
The unironic most right wing thing you can do is vote for Republicans.
All you could do is vote for Republicans and that's it.
And the far right will say, no.
We need entryism.
We need infiltration.
We need people to become very far right.
We need the best and brightest young men with energy to get involved in politics and to ascend the ladder in power.
And yes, the SPLC, ADL are going to be our biggest enemies.
I'm their biggest enemy.
And that's why, you know, the people that I influence, they try to get those people fired.
And they're out there.
We have personnel all over the government, all over society, and the SPLC would love to get their hands on that because they want to hurt those people because those people actually oppose their ideological ends.
They're not worried about John Doyle.
They're not worried about how many of these other people, Laura Loomer, the rest of them.
They're just not worried about that.
So, anyway, that's the SPLC indictment.
And I think that's everything I have to say about it.
I don't know how much time we're going to spend on that.
I think we're almost out of time here, but we're going to get into it a little bit.
It's been a few weeks since we covered the situation in Iran.
I think the last time we spoke was the beginning of April.
It was right about when the ceasefire broke out.
And the big update about the war in Iran is that there is no major update.
We are still in the same state of affairs that we were three weeks ago.
And I'll reconstruct the timeline for you just very briefly.
We'll read through some of the latest developments and then we'll talk about potentially where this is going.
So, the last time we spoke, the ceasefire had just been declared.
It was on a Tuesday.
It was actually three weeks ago to the day.
And this brought an end to all of the offensive U.S. operations against Iran.
Whereas for about seven weeks, the United States was engaged in this extremely intense air campaign, naval campaign against Iran, its navy, its regime, its military.
All of that came to an end three weeks ago when a very contentious ceasefire agreement was announced.
And the terms of the agreement were these.
It effectively said that as long as Iran opened the Strait of Hormuz, then the United States would end military operations.
This would take place for a period of two weeks for the purpose of reaching a comprehensive long term peace agreement that addresses the systematic issues.
Of the Strait of Hormuz, the nuclear issue, missiles, proxies, and the continuity of the Iranian regime.
That was the original terms of the ceasefire.
And the important points are again, opening up the Strait in exchange for a cessation of hostilities for the purpose of finding an agreement.
Those are the three big parts of that agreement.
Now, you might remember that before we left, that agreement effectively fell apart.
And almost immediately, there was a big debate about what the terms of the deal even were.
Iran and Pakistan, which brokered the deal, seemed to be under the impression that included in the ceasefire was also a ceasefire in Lebanon.
Israel had engaged Hezbollah in a major military campaign in southern Lebanon, had displaced over a million people.
Iran and Pakistan said almost an hour, two hours after the ceasefire was announced that the ceasefire did not just apply to the fighting in Iran and in the Persian Gulf, but also to the theater in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah.
Well, the United States came out the following day and said that is not a part of the deal, and Israel would not agree to a ceasefire in Lebanon.
And so, as quickly as the deal was announced, it was rescinded.
And Iran came out and said, well, if there's no ceasefire in Lebanon, then we're closing the strait again, which they then did.
And the strait was open for all of a few days before it shut right back down.
The United States denied this was happening, but it became obvious after a few days.
That following weekend, there was a series of negotiations in Islamabad, in Pakistan.
That Saturday, so this is again two weeks ago from this previous Saturday, JD Vance, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkopf, Traveled to the capital of Pakistan to meet with the delegation from Iran to negotiate this comprehensive agreement that was the purpose of the ceasefire.
Well, the negotiations went on all day and all night, and in the end, they didn't reach an agreement at all.
And actually, the Iranian delegation was so insulted, they said there is no basis for diplomacy.
We're not going to make a deal with the United States.
They're being unreasonable.
And so Iran effectively pulled out of negotiations.
Throughout that following week, There was all sorts of talk about another round of negotiations any day, that Thursday, that weekend.
It never materialized.
Finally, the second week of the ceasefire approached.
This is last week.
And still, there were no negotiations.
There was supposed to be a last minute round of negotiations in Pakistan.
That was called off.
The ceasefire was set to expire.
And again, even though none of the conditions were reached, Strait of Hormuz remains closed, no comprehensive agreement.
And actually, there weren't even negotiations ongoing.
Last week, Trump extended the ceasefire indefinitely.
So, even though that two week period was set to draw down last week, even though Iran did not abide by any of the terms, straight is closed, no negotiations, no comprehensive agreement, no progress towards one, Trump unilaterally said last week, well, the ceasefire is extended and it is extended without limits.
There is no timeline anymore.
And what's interesting about this, Is that for this entire time, let's say this period of the past six weeks, we had been operating on these rolling deadlines and rolling timelines.
You had the week before Easter, Trump said that Iran had 48 hours, 48 hours to open up the strait, or else we would escalate the energy campaign to attack Iran's civilian infrastructure.
And then that 48 hour deadline was extended by five days, and then 10 days, and then by 24 hours.
Then we were under a two week ceasefire.
And then after the two week ceasefire, it has now been extended indefinitely.
And so, this is why I say when you consider the war in Iran, if you actually approach the official White House statements, true social posts, press releases, the official government line for the past however long that has been is that we have been on this rolling deadline 48 hours, 5 days, 10 days, 24 hours, 2 weeks.
We have been in this protracted negotiation to end the war, and that's why we're not escalating.
That's why we're not continuing hostilities.
That's why we're engaging Iran in diplomacy.
And yet, all this time, nothing has changed.
The United States is spinning its wheels, creating deadlines, talking about escalation, talking about terms of negotiation, and yet not one single thing has changed.
The Strait of Hormuz has been closed ever since that first deadline was announced.
These negotiations have meaningfully not happened ever since that first deadline was announced.
We're supposed to believe that the United States has been either winding down the operation or refraining from escalating because we're waiting on this diplomatic process to prevail.
Because Iran has been making concessions, because they're making commitments to open up the strait.
And yet none of that has happened.
Straight is closed, no negotiations.
Now that we're in this new period, you have to ask what is even the official line at this point?
I think we all recognize that all of those deadlines that existed before were a form of a bluff.
It was all bluster.
You better do what we want or else.
And everybody knew that we weren't actually serious about following through on these threats.
All of this was an attempt to either buy time so that we can mobilize more resources or solicit help from other allies, buy time so that the oil markets could adjust and alleviate some of the pain in the markets.
Everybody recognized that despite what was being said about a diplomatic breakthrough, about a prospect for a deal or negotiations, we all recognized this was just buying time.
But now here we are since last week, and now you don't even know what the official line is exactly.
Straight is closed, no negotiations, and yet we're not bombing them.
There's no threat of escalation on the table, and there's no negotiations.
There's no prospect for a deal to happen, and yet we're in an open ended ceasefire.
Now, this is the latest.
This is from the New York Times.
The one thing that has changed is that ever since the ceasefire was extended, The United States has imposed its own blockade over Iran.
So, Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz to shipping that is friendly to the United States.
Any shipping that does not coordinate with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and pay a $2 million toll or a $1 per barrel of oil toll will not be permitted to transit the Strait.
While that has been happening, Iran has still been engaging in seaborne trade.
So, Iran has still been exporting oil, importing things from other countries.
They have slowed down and shut down shipping in the Strait for every other country.
Well, since the ceasefire was extended, this is how the calculation has changed.
The United States has imposed a naval blockade of its own.
And so now, from a distance, we are effectively doing the same thing to Iran that Iran is doing to us.
Whereas Iran was shutting down seaborne shipping of oil, natural gas, and other things for allied US countries, now we are shutting down all the seaborne trade for Iran and all their major ports.
So, they're not able to export their oil and they're not able to import the goods that they need.
And so, this, Trump believes, and the White House believes, will reverse the economic pressure.
Instead of having the United States and the global oil markets affected by Iran's closure of the Strait, we're flipping the script.
And now we're going to put economic pressure on Iran's economy by shutting down their six major naval ports in the Persian Gulf.
Now, this is a story, this is from the New York Times about the latest development.
The development from this week is that Iran has put forward a new proposal.
And what Iran is now saying is that they will open up the strait as before, except that now they're going to retain control over it and they're going to charge a toll in perpetuity.
They're saying the strait will open.
However, it will be a controlled strait.
And there will be a new legal regime governed by Iran and the other country that borders the strait, Oman.
They will determine which ships go in and out, and they will have the ability to charge money.
Iran says that in return, the United States has to withdraw its forces from the Middle East and we have to shelve all of the nuclear negotiations.
Iran says that we will consider nuclear enrichment, highly enriched uranium another day.
They say, but we will bring an end to the war by opening the strait, but we're going to control it.
Now, the United States has rejected that proposal and says that the ceasefire will go on indefinitely, but the blockade will go along with it too.
And this is a story from The Times.
It says, quote, President Trump has told advisors he is not satisfied with Iran's latest proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war.
The proposal called on the United States to end its naval blockade, but would have set aside questions about what to do with Iran's nuclear program.
Iran has repeatedly rejected American proposals to suspend its nuclear program and hand over its stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
Mr. Trump reviewed the proposal with advisors on Monday after Iran's foreign minister delivered it to Pakistan on Sunday.
Mr. Trump rejected another proposal from Iran last week and called off a round of peace talks in Islamabad over the weekend.
U.S. officials say Iran's leadership has not authorized negotiators to make concessions on the nuclear deal, which frustrates any attempts to forge a compromise or peace agreement.
Delaying nuclear talks could have been a way to reach a quick agreement to ease pressure on global energy and financial markets, but any decision to halt nuclear talks would be a sign that the war had failed to achieve one of its major goals.
Which is increasing pressure on Tehran to make a deal over its enrichment program.
Iranian officials insisted that any deal to open the strait should allow them to continue to impose a tax or fee on ships that transit it.
At the heart of the debate over whether to accept the proposal were discussions in the Trump administration about economic leverage and what further American military operations would be needed to get Iran to make significant concessions in negotiations.
Some officials believe that continuing the blockade for two more months would.
Cause significant long term damage to Tehran's energy industry.
Oil wells cannot be turned on and off and would be damaged if they were forced to shut down, incurring costly repairs.
Other administration officials have said that assessment is flawed, noting that Iran's positions have hardened and that the IRGC has solidified its hold on power.
So, this is where we are at.
And like I said, nothing has realistically changed in the past three weeks.
And the situation is basically this we have no options.
We can't escalate militarily.
We cannot nuke them.
We cannot invade them.
We cannot invade Karg Island.
We cannot bomb them into submission.
There is realistically no military solution to compel Iran to change its behavior.
So, what they have come up with instead, because they've been looking for a way to do this in a way that is minimal, and this is a conversation from three weeks ago, if we were to, for example, bomb their civilian infrastructure, That might be a military solution.
That might be a military option that could compel them to come to the negotiating table and make concessions.
If we were to bomb their power grid, bomb their energy infrastructure, that might be a military option that will get them to beg for peace.
But if we do that, they retain the capability to do the same thing to Saudi Arabia and the UAE and Qatar and Kuwait and Bahrain.
And that would devastate not only all those countries, but the global economy.
So that's off the table.
So, the Trump administration was looking for another option.
Maybe we will invade one of their islands.
We'll invade Karg Island.
We'll invade Hormuz Island.
We'll try to use a ground force.
Maybe we'll deploy forces inside of Iran.
But then they determined that if we tried that, Iran would just kill everybody.
Because if Iran has enough drones and missiles with precision to shut down shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, surely they can use those drones and missiles to kill everybody that tries to land on one of those small islands or anybody that lands inside of the Iranian mainland.
So they ruled that out.
That's too risky.
So if we don't have any economic warfare military options, if we don't have any options to Do a minimal ground invasion, what can we do to compel them to come to the table?
So now Trump has found this new option, which is an economic blockade.
If we impose a naval blockade on Iran's ports, then we can squeeze their economy.
And without bombing their energy infrastructure, if we shut down their oil exports, then their oil industry will grind to a halt and it will cost them hundreds of millions of dollars because that will cause damage to the infrastructure and there will be lost revenue.
So, the idea is without a kinetic military option, we're going to increase the pressure on Iran's economy in a way that is less invasive.
Well, here's the problem with this.
So, that is realistically the current situation the strait is closed and the pressure is on the United States.
We have now imposed a blockade of our own, shutting down all of Iran's seaborne trade to put some pressure on them.
They're waiting us out.
We're going to try to wait them out.
They're hoping that the economic pain of the closure of the strait will force us to.
Leave them alone and walk away.
We are hoping that the pain of closing the strait for them will cause them to come to the negotiating table.
Now, the Trump administration realistically can't leave the conflict without some kind of tangible victory here.
We set out to achieve regime change, seize their highly enriched uranium, shut down their nuclear centrifuges, shut down their missile program, shut down their proxy network.
We have achieved none of these things.
So, we cannot leave unless we get something.
So, what we are doing is keeping this going at a low boil.
The pressure is on us, but the pressure is also on them.
And we're going to try to wait them out so that Iran eventually comes to us and makes concessions on their nuclear program.
Now, what are those concessions going to be?
Well, there's not a lot of room for negotiation.
The Trump administration says they have to give up all their highly enriched uranium and they have to give up all their enrichment activity.
There's no wiggle room.
There's no gray area.
They cannot retain any of it for any period of time, can't dilute it, which Iran is never going to give up.
On Iran's side, all they have to do is wait us out.
All they have to do is basically call Trump's bluff.
They know this is hurting us more than it's hurting them.
And Trump administration officials themselves say it's not going to work.
We have no military options.
Even if we restarted the bombing, it's not going to fix anything.
Even if we restarted the war, it's not going to change their behavior.
And even if we blockade all their ports, It's not going to put enough pressure on the regime to capitulate.
And that is because since the war started, the IRGC has actually consolidated more power than they had before the war started.
So, what it is looking like in the future is that the Trump administration is going to have to just walk away.
It's not going to work.
Iran is still putting out proposals and telling us look, we're not talking about nuclear, we're not giving anything up.
And as a matter of fact, we don't even want to talk about it anymore.
We don't want to talk about our missiles, our proxies.
The regime isn't going anywhere.
And the nuclear issue, we're never giving it up.
They said last week, they said our right to nuclear enrichment is no different than our right to our own soil.
They said it is just as sacred as our right to our own territory.
We're never giving it up.
And that is what they have said.
They said we are never giving up enrichment, we are never giving up our highly enriched uranium.
And the Trump administration can accept nothing less than exactly that.
So, what does that mean?
It means that the current situation will prevail.
The strait will remain closed.
The blockade will remain in place.
And ultimately, it is on either Tehran or Washington to blink first.
And time is working against us.
It is all of our allied countries that are hurting because of this.
It is Europe.
It is our allies in the Pacific.
They are facing the fuel shortages because of this.
And ultimately, that is going to affect the United States economy and political situation, which is far more precarious and fragile than the situation inside Iran.
In Iran, they don't have a democracy.
In Iran, their people know they're in an existential war for their survival.
Over here, this is a war of choice.
Most Americans don't support this.
Most Americans don't even care.
So, if in Iran, the Iranian regime is going to impose on people rationing and shortages of vital goods and the economy is going to get worse, well, one, they have an iron grip on power.
And two, their people know the situation, which is it's either this or it's total destruction and no sovereignty.
Over here, we have an election in seven months where the Republicans are very unpopular.
And what's more, Americans don't want to pay $5 for a gallon of gas to support a war of choice, to pursue regime change for a limited nuclear deal in Iran.
It's just not something that Americans have a political appetite for.
So, once again, just like over the previous three weeks and the other deadlines before that, this is yet another bluff.
Just like for the past month when Trump was saying, we're going to.
Bomb you like you've never been bombed before.
We're going to target your power plants and bridges and infrastructure.
That was a bluff.
And so is this.
The administration says we're going to prepare for a long term blockade.
They're planting stories in the press and they're leaking to the media saying we're prepared to go the distance.
We're settling in to blockade the strait in perpetuity.
And we're good, which is shutting down the strait.
We're not talking anymore.
And Trump thinks that Iran is going to buy that and they're going to say, oh, well, We better make a deal now.
Trump is going to blockade the Strait in perpetuity.
This is going to cause problems for us.
Just one problem Iran is working with every other country to alleviate all this pressure.
They have just opened up six new border crossings with Pakistan so that land trade can continue.
And Russia says they are prepared to help Iran with whatever they need strategically.
So, in the meantime, as long as you are in this, as long as we're playing this waiting game of waiting for Iran.
To come to the table, get off their red line, give us everything we want.
In the meantime, they're being resupplied.
They're probably building more drones.
They have gone to work rebuilding their missile production facilities.
They're probably building more drones.
And so, what is bound to happen is that whenever Trump or Netanyahu gets tired of the waiting game, we are going to provoke hostilities all over again.
There's no limited military option.
A resumption of the same kind of hostilities is not going to change anything.
This blockade is a farce.
They know it.
We know it.
They know we know it.
And so, probably what is happening is that, and again, time is the operative variable here.
We are watching as Iran is consolidating power.
Iranian Revolutionary Guard is consolidating power.
They're rebuilding whatever was destroyed.
They found a number of unexploded U.S. ordnance and they're reverse engineering that.
They're getting back to work.
They're preparing for the next round.
And in the meantime, what is the United States doing?
While they tell the press, while they tell the Wall Street Journal that they're settling in for a long blockade, they have deployed a third.
Aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East.
And so now, for the first time since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, you have three carrier strike groups active and deployed in the same region in the Middle East.
At the same time, you got a ton of military transport aircraft headed to the Middle East.
What it looks like, they're not serious about a ceasefire.
They're not serious about the blockade.
Probably they are restocking and reloading and they're getting ready to hit Iran all over again.
And Trump has been insinuating for some time saying, We're just going to bomb them again.
Those that don't want to make a deal, we're just going to kill them.
I don't mind an invasion, he said.
I don't have the yips, he said, about boots on the ground.
What it's looking like is quietly, maybe while they're reassuring the energy markets, maybe they're pursuing diplomacy on some level.
If the Iranian offer now is, listen, we'll open up the straight, just leave us alone, maybe they're still pursuing that seriously.
But unless they get that nuclear concession, We're going back to war.
And I would imagine maybe sooner rather than later because we are up against the clock with the midterms coming up in November.
So that seems to be where all of this is headed.
But it's hard to know what the strategic thinking is exactly inside the White House because up until this point, we haven't actually gotten any kind of straight talk about this since the beginning.
You know, as we've talked about, there was a pretty clear idea at the very beginning that we were going to pound them as hard as possible, the regime is going to collapse, and then we're going to extract all these concessions.
And we're going to change the character of the regime.
That was the idea at the beginning.
But the moment that it became clear that would not happen, now we just have no clue what the strategy is.
It's typical Trump, what do they call it?
It's typical taco.
Trump always chickens out, which is these maximalist demands, empty and hollow threats, deadlines that are always being extended, you know, doing all this diplomacy in the media, on true social, by public statement, by press release.
And so it's hard actually to peg the administration where they're going to go with this, but I think that you would not be deploying more aircraft carriers to the region if you were done with hostilities.
Currently, you got the Lincoln, the Ford, and the H.W. Bush all off the coast of the Middle East.
I don't know that you would be deploying an additional carrier strike group if the goal was to end the war as quickly as possible.
Like they said today, declare victory unilaterally and just finish the conflict.
I don't think we're going to go that way.
But I guess we'll have to watch and see what happens this week.
But that's that.
We're going to move on.
We're going to take a look at our super chats.
We'll see what you guys have to say about all this.
It was one of these things reported earlier today because I didn't even think that was true.
I saw one of the clipping accounts say Clavicular made a deal with an Israeli billionaire scammer, and that's how they opened up the club.
And I didn't even think that was real.
I thought that was just exaggerated or something.
But then I saw an actual news source report.
No, it is an Israeli mobster.
It's some Israeli billionaire or something.
That's who they're in business with.
And you know, look, in fairness, Clavicular always said he only cares about mogging.
You can't hold it against him.
You just can't.
Because he always said, I don't care about politics.
I don't care about America.
He said, I only care about mogging.
Like nobody can feel betrayed by that.
People say, oh, now Clavicular is doing this.
Now he's doing that.
What do you mean now?
He has always been consistent.
They asked him, What do you think about trannies?
He said, One less person I have to worry about.
One less person that will never mog me.
That's who we're dealing with here.
Monomaniacal focus on looks and mogging.
So, you know, in fairness, nobody can feel betrayed and nobody can feel like they got caught by surprise here.
He always told us what he was about.
With that being said, obviously, I believe in morality.
And ethics.
And I don't think that's ethical.
I don't think it's good to get involved with some of the stuff he's involved with.
And it's his life, obviously.
He's his own man and he's got his own code and everything.
I get it.
But obviously, I don't approve.
But I'm not his dad.
So he can do whatever he wants.
I like him.
Even though he's doing all that, look, not everything has to be super political.
You know, why do you associate?
I love that's my favorite question that I love when people interrogate me.
Why do you associate?
What does that even mean, by the way?
You know, I don't even know what that means.
Because I believe in the world, I live in the world among people.
What does that even mean?
Who do we, who am I allowed to associate with?
Do I have to associate only with people that I agree with everything they do, how they make their money, how they live their lives?
It's ridiculous.
I live in the world.
I associate with people that I find interesting.
I associate with people that I find interesting, with people that I like, with people that I get along with, with people that benefit me in some way.
You know, why does anybody associate with anybody?
Because we live in the world, because we live in a society.
So, I'm very, I hate this idea of like, no associate, don't associate with so and so, as if by virtue of acknowledging their existence or something, I'm somehow complicit in their actions.
What clavicular is, is a social cultural phenomenon, and it's just true.
Because what he represents is the answer to hypergamy.
What is the answer to a world where Instagram and Tinder and hypersexual women exist in?
What is the answer to that?
Men have to improve their looks.
It's the only way to compete.
If you want to be sexually successful, and to be sexually successful is to be socially successful, and to be socially successful is to be professionally successful and fulfilled, you have to improve your looks.
And what does that mean?
Well, first and foremost, it means getting skinny.
It means being thin.
Being thin, getting a good haircut, being groomed well, putting thought and intentionality into how you look.
What the fuck is wrong with that?
That's a good message.
And that is a good message for young men because everybody is telling young men, you can do anything, you can be anything, work hard, play by the rules.
And I like these new ideas where it says, look, the rules ain't helping anybody anymore.
All these fanciful ideas we got from Hollywood about our limitless potential, all it leaves us is disappointed and brokenhearted and sad when we're being told, you know, a person with no arms and legs is being told, you could be anything you want.
It's like, no, you're going to be a vegetable your whole life.
Someone with no arms and legs is being told by Hollywood, hey, man, you could be anything, you could do anything.
It's like, no, your life is going to suck because you're a nugget.
You know, and same thing with an ugly person.
Someone is totally ugly.
People go, Yeah, but if you're like you, you just got to be confident.
You just got to put yourself out there.
It's like, no, no.
If you're just confident, people are going to reject you because you're ugly.
So, what should you do?
What is going to work?
What's actually going to work?
Improve yourself.
Improve your work on your game, work on your looks, make more money.
That's going to improve your life.
And so, clavicular is somebody who, you know, the looks maxing is overrated.
People post like his high school pictures and it's like, Okay, so he was like a handsome, tall guy that hit puberty and then he got skinny.
Okay, great.
You know, but like that is the answer, which is to say that look, here's a guy who went from zero to hero, and it's because he improved his looks.
Or at the minimum, improving his looks was a necessary precondition.
I actually don't agree.
It's not with him all looks, because there's better looking guys than Clavicular.
Is he the best looking man of all time?
I don't even think he would say that.
He's very good looking, but there's guys that are taller, better looking.
You know, better charisma.
He's a non neurotypical.
But Clav has a suite of attributes.
He's smart.
He's original.
He's funny.
He's very good looking.
And this is why he's this, and he has this idea.
He is the embodiment and possessed by an idea.
And ultimately, that is the most powerful thing.
Ideas are the most powerful thing.
But it's all those things.
He needs all those things.
If he wasn't funny, it wouldn't work.
If he wasn't good looking, it wouldn't work.
If he was not possessed by the idea, he'd just be another one of these chuds.
He'd just be like Varus or Androgenic or the long line of clones.
Why is Clavicular the brand name?
Why is he the shelling point for looks maxing?
It's because, one, he's the first mover possessed by the idea, but also because he's smarter than your average guy, funny, naturally entertaining.
He's a good live streamer.
Anyway, but I think that he's a very powerful cultural totem, very powerful for men, very powerful for white men.
And I don't even care.
I don't even care, you know.
Yeah, there's some shady stuff going on there.
Honestly, it's all shady.
Everything is shady.
Who gives a shit?
And how many people are taking gambling deals?
How many people are being paid out of the table in some other way?
And it's not to minimize it, but it's like, let's just take what we can get.
I think a lot of the stuff he's doing is positive.
What he represents is positive.
So even though I don't, obviously, I don't co sign that and I don't support that, but you can't feel, you can't be betrayed because he said that he's only about mogging.
And, you know, let's just take the good and forget about the bad.
I love this idea that, like, you know, if you're just some like boring loser, and you're probably a degenerate anyway, but if you're just like some boring loser, it's like, well, you could associate with me because, like, you know, I didn't do anything like that.
It's like, but you're a boring loser.
I want to associate with cool winners, not boring losers.
I want to associate with cool winners and the kind of moralizing that's the last refuge of somebody that has nothing going on.
I have nothing interesting to say.
I'm not funny.
I'm not outgoing.
I have nothing going on.
But hey, at least I'm not like Clav.
Clav is doing a deal with Israeli billionaires.
Yeah, okay.
Well, he's a cool winner.
I like being with cool winners.
I like being with cool, smart, good looking winners, not boring losers that complain.
Honestly, I kind of thought, I'm not going to lie, I kind of thought that.
Not that I've ever done that, right?
But like, no, but I honestly thought that because he told me he's like, He's like, porn is like an Israeli op, and, you know, they're filming you when you're watching porn.
And then I was honest to God, I was kind of thinking like that, like during the show, that was going to be the big reveal.
I was going to be like, because I talked to Pornhub and we have the tapes.
I was going to be like, here we go.
That's funny that you say it, but I'm a conspiratorial, paranoid thinker.
The same people who call it white nationalism tell little white children that they shouldn't have kids because it's bad to not have a fully brown country.
