Harrison Smith and Rex Jones expose the TPUSA America Fest’s ideological fractures, where "Israel First" factions—backed by figures like Ben Shapiro and Netanyahu—demonize dissenters while pushing for Iran strikes tied to 19 new West Bank settlements. They link DOJ’s fake Epstein video to distractions, question Trump’s battleship relevance against drones, and critique Australia’s hate speech laws as tools to silence immigration critics, mirroring authoritarian tactics. The broader implication: Western democracies now weaponize speech controls, undermining their own values while enabling imperialist agendas under the guise of security. [Automatically generated summary]
Not going to do a lot of shows this week, so let's make them good ones.
We're going to be joined by Rex Jones in the third hour.
We got a lot to talk about today, especially about what happened over the weekend.
Probably our main topics, which really are, interestingly, the same topic, are going to be what happened at TPUSA, as we covered last Friday.
Ben Shapiro started off the festivities by lobbying hand grenades of cancellation at all of the other speakers.
And that basically continued for the entire weekend with pretty much every major speaker getting up and more or less declaring their allegiance to either America first or Israel first.
Or, well, they don't say Israel first, but, you know, whatever colloquialism they reference.
And it is interesting.
It's like you, you know, the white American people pretty much firmly on the Tucker Carlson side.
Everybody else, not so much.
Vivek Ramaswamy, Ben Shapiro.
Because this ties into the question of, are we a creedal nation or, you know, a racial nation?
Should we go to war with Iran on behalf of Israel?
Did Charlie Kirk get killed by Israel?
Like all of these things all came up, bubbled to the surface during TPUSA, and it's a fascinating insight as to where we are as a political party right now, the Republicans, being totally destroyed.
And then, of course, Netanyahu is on his way to D.C.
And they're going to try to start another war with Iran.
Now, it didn't work last time, so they're probably going to pull out some new tricks.
And I think I might have some idea as to what they're intending.
Let's begin today as we do every day with our Daily Dispatch.
All right, here is folks, your Daily Dispatch for Monday, the 22nd of December, 2025.
New Epstein photos show him kissing and cuddling little girls.
That's a story from Infowars.com.
The latest tranche of Jeffrey Epstein photos released by the Department of Justice showed the disgraced financier and pedophile kissing and cuddling little girls.
The images, which include a naked infant in a bath, were displayed in prominent places on Pedophile Island, Epstein's private Caribbean island.
There's been a lot of talk about this.
Obviously, the files were released during our show on Friday, and a lot of them were completely blacked out and an almost outrageous amount of redactions for that.
Other scandals about it, we'll get into it.
Some files were removed.
Massey's trying to impeach Bondi over it.
It's been just a ton of drama.
Meanwhile, shots fired as Biden illegal Rams ICE vehicles hits officers during dangerous pursuit in Minnesota.
This headline also from InfoWars.com.
An illegal alien unleashed into the U.S. last year was arrested at the conclusion of a violent chase that left several federal agents injured and many vehicles damaged in Minnesota over the weekend as, again, the lingering effects of the treasonous activities of the Biden administration continue to haunt us.
Meanwhile, massive power outage hits San Francisco.
130,000 homes and businesses plunged into darkness as Waymo driverless taxis caused traffic jams without stoplights.
This story from Infowars.com, citizens of San Francisco, California suffered through the city's largest power outage in its history over the weekend, with an estimated 130,000 residents and businesses losing, being left without electricity.
During the outage, Waymo robo taxis caused huge traffic jams because they had trouble navigating with the traffic lights down.
A very interesting set of circumstances that really highlights the modern world for me.
After all, I don't know if I need to tell you this.
There was no hurricane that hit San Francisco.
There was no massive snowstorm blizzard that knocked out their power.
No, they just didn't have power for a while.
Maybe we'll find out why eventually, or maybe we won't.
And maybe this will just be our future, just occasional rolling blackouts with no explanation because the people in charge are too incompetent to keep the lights on and too corrupt to admit they're wrong.
So, you know, get used to it, San Fran.
A lot more where that came from.
Again, the Jeffrey Epstein photos continue to be a source of controversy.
19 Jeffrey Epstein accusers claim feds violated the law over the file dump.
Again, we'll get back to that in just a little bit.
Finally, Trump suspends all large offshoring wind farms under construction, threatening thousands of jobs and cheaper energy, but also saving the whales.
Thank you, Trump, for saving the whales.
That's your daily dispatch, brought to you, of course, by thealexjonesstore.com.
And I got more stories on the other side.
Breaking news still coming up.
Stay tuned, folks.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
This is thewarroominfowars.com banned.video.
We got a lot of news to get to today.
And I'm going to try to get to all these headlines, but I'm also going to spend a lot talking about what happened at TPOSA over the weekend and how it relates to everything else going on in the world, where we are as a nation, our desperate attempt to claw back sovereignty from the globalist.
I think it can be very informative, all of this infighting.
And actually, we have a video I think sums it up pretty well.
If you take any clip from the TPOSA Am Fest this weekend, I think this one really gives you the spirit of what was going on.
Let's go to clip number four.
Here was Amfest TPUSA's flagship event over the weekend.
Let's watch.
Okay, here we have the Royfers going to war with everybody else.
We see Megan Kelly, Michael Knowles, kind of dumb, but very effective with a gun there.
Steve Bannon, breaking jaws, taking names, sending Ben Shapiro flying through the air with the greatest abuse.
Woman propaganda was there on fire in more ways than one.
They caught Fresh and Fit and hauled him out of there like a sack of fish.
That was pathetic.
Tucker Carlson, of course.
Ben Shapiro's back and he's stabbing Megan Kelly in the heart.
But just like the entire MAGA Civil War, which has been going on, I think, for longer than people are willing to recognize.
And I was reminded of this because Matt Gaetz actually just went on with Tucker Carlson, and there's a clip going around where he explains what happened to him.
It's almost like he took my explanation and just said it verbatim because it's the accurate view of the situation in which Matt Gates was blackmailed by Israel for $25 million.
And that's why he wasn't allowed to become Attorney General.
Now, I went back and found where I talked about this on the American Journal in 2024.
And it was November 22nd, 2024.
It was two weeks after the election.
And already by that point, I was like seeing the signs and I was going, guys, this isn't looking good.
We won the election two weeks ago and now MAGA is falling to infighting.
So this is nothing new at all.
And just like always, the events at TPUSA this weekend were not started by anti-Semites.
Was the chaos, the confrontation was not initiated by Tucker Carlson or anybody paid by Qatar or anybody who is dead set in favor of America first and America only.
It was the Israel First People.
It was Ben Shapiro who gave a speech before just about anybody else and set the tone for the entire meeting.
And it was a speech in which he lambasted and mocked, ridiculed, tried to cancel, demonized, and lied about a bunch of the other speakers and like half the people in the audience who aren't in favor of America going to war with anybody for Israel and are kind of mad that we're continually in service of that unimportant and unhelpful country.
And so you've got a lot of people online now decrying the MAGA civil war, but I've been pointing out for months at this point, for years, actually, if you want to take it back to November of last year, that this is Israel doing this, that MAGA's fine.
America Firsters, we're fine.
Everybody loves Alex Jones.
Everybody loves Steve Bannon.
Everybody loves Tucker Carlson.
There's no problem there.
It's only this faction that unfortunately is the supreme faction in Republican politics.
And they're desperately trying to solidify their control of that party.
And I see this as perfectly in line with their greater ambitions for Greater Israel, with the war in Iran with Iran that they're trying to kickstart once again, and with so many other things.
The Charlie Kirk assassination would be another one.
What was the main break that Charlie Kirk had with his Israeli supporters?
It was the war with Iran.
And Charlie Kirk was the lone voice around Trump powerfully arguing against intervention in Iran.
May have led to his untimely demise, if the conspiracy theories are to be believed.
But obviously, if you're not in that camp, if you're not deliberately misconstruing the way things went, it's pretty obvious where the attack is coming from.
Who are the aggressors and who are the defenders?
Who are the people that are trying to gatekeep the Republican Party and trying to manipulate Republicans, trying to oust their particular enemies, regardless of the consequences for the wider Republican agenda?
It's not actually helpful to be ousting Tucker Carlson and demonizing him.
He's actually one of our shining lights.
And for the sake of the entire movement, you might want to not demonize him quite so much.
They don't care, actually.
If the movement doesn't serve them, then it should be destroyed, is the thinking there.
And of course, from Infowars.com, the headline, historic, Netanyahu's attempt to have Ben Shapiro take over TPUSA has blown up in their face.
So again, everybody gets where this is coming from.
Everybody gets what the intention of this is.
And it's not getting into who killed Charlie Kirk or anything.
It's the understanding that TPUSA, from its founding until to this day, was a primary outlet for Zionist influence in America, specifically for conservatives, evangelical Christians, and the Republican Party.
Now, there's other controversy around TPOSA too, things like Nikki Minaj being there.
And I actually think that goes directly in to sort of the division that we're talking about.
There's sort of two visions of the Republican Party at war with each other.
One is the Ben Shapiro Israel first one, where they'll be super hardline about Israel issues, but everything else, like the genocide of white people, not that big of a deal.
And, you know, offshoring jobs, H-1B, kind of a good thing, actually.
You know, connections to, you know, American history, your bloodline, like that's not really all that important.
People who believe what we believe are just as American as you, even if they live in Bangladesh.
That's the view they're trying to push.
And having Nikki Minaj on is perfectly in line with that.
A very big tent, wide, you know, selection operation.
Just anybody who wants to come in can come in.
It sort of doesn't matter the fundamentals of what they believe as long as they support Trump and are in favor of the Republican Party politically, then usher them on in.
I don't think that's actually a bad thing.
I actually think it's smart and something the Republican Party should have done a long time ago is to try to woo and seduce over to our side Hollywood celebrities.
There's no reason why there should be such a paucity, such an utter lack of outspoken conservative famous people, but there is.
And that's because there's been no outreach and because obviously the social paradigm isn't bent that way.
So again, I think this all ties in together.
I think Nikki Minaj was kind of coming over to Trump for the same reason that a lot of the big tech people came over to Trump.
They were lifelong Democrats too.
For her, it's because I guess she has family in the Congo or somewhere, somewhere where Trump is intervening and helping maybe Nigeria, the Nigerian Christians that she's so for her, it's like she has a foreign state that she's interested in.
Trump is helping the people that she likes in that state.
Therefore, she likes Trump.
So it's literally exactly the same as all these, all these, you know, not Elon Musk himself, he's a little bit different, but everybody else, right?
Andreessen and Scott Besson, all these guys, maybe not Besson, but Bill Ackman.
That's the name I was trying to think of.
All these types of guys, right?
Liberals, but they've got this foreign interest in this foreign state.
The Democrats won't serve that interest, so they move over to the Republicans.
Same thing Nikki Minaj did.
So I'm a little bit torn.
So I don't like the big tent idea that it doesn't matter, you can be a degenerate Satan worshiper and you're just as conservative as us because you think it's useful for America to go after your ethnic enemies in your home state overseas.
It's like, okay, great.
On the other hand, you know, we should be bringing over more celebrities.
But again, this is, it's not about Nikki Minaj.
It's about the two competing visions of what the GOP will be.
The other competing vision is like a lot more hardcore and a lot less lenient and a lot less big tent.
And they're just like, we don't want any of this.
We don't want to pander.
We don't want to pander on race.
We don't want to pander on sex.
We don't want to pander on anything.
We just want our country back.
And we don't care if, you know, Vivek Ramaswamy is a great American.
We don't want H-1B visas.
We don't want to be flooded with Indians.
Sorry, we're not sorry.
So again, these are the two competing visions.
And it was really on display in TPOSA.
I'd say even the Nikki Minaj appearance is evidence of where the sort of establishment wants to take the GOP, whereas the Steve Bannons, the Tucker Carlsons, and everybody else was firmly, is firmly in the other party, in the other camp here.
So let's go to clip number 12 here because this I thought was a pretty important thing to be said.
Again, you can't overstate how far we've come in the cultural arena.
Here's JD Vance saying what should be obvious forever, and I'll take it a step farther, but JD Vance, Vice President of the United States, says you don't have to apologize for being white anymore.
In the United States of America, you don't have to apologize for being white anymore.
And if you're an Asian, you don't have to talk around your skin color when you're applying for college because we judge people based on who they are, not on ethnicity and things they can't control.
Vice President of the United States, that's a pretty big deal to have him come out and say this because, you know, what he's doing is not just saying, you know, it's okay to be white.
Like, he's signaling, like, that is a very big signal in terms of what it's socially acceptable to express.
And for my entire life, it has been socially unacceptable to talk positively about white people in any way, including for their mere preservation and continuing existence.
Now, that's crazy, and the fact that it was ever that way is really just evidence of the sophistication of psychological operations, how they get an entire race of people to hate themselves.
Very disturbing stuff.
But, you know, when he says you don't have to apologize for being white anymore, how about you never had to apologize for being white?
How about you never should have apologized for being white?
You never had to apologize for being white.
And you still won't be apologizing for being white.
It's just, it's like, you don't have to do this anymore.
No, you never had to.
All of these things are illusions.
They're all fake.
Cancellations don't exist.
Okay.
Getting in trouble for saying something online, it doesn't really exist unless you get stop anti-Semitism after you, but that's for later in the show.
So yeah, you don't have to be afraid to talk about being white anymore.
You never did, though.
And that's really the key to understand this.
In fact, I remember having an exchange with Charlie Kirk about that on X probably a year ago.
Same type of thing.
Does this mean it's okay to point this out now?
It's like, it's always been okay.
It's always been okay to point out hatred against white people.
I'm sorry, you were tricked into not expressing self-preservation for your own people because you thought it was mean.
That was always a trick.
It was always a lie.
It's always not just okay to be white.
It's actually great.
It's fantastic.
I love it.
I wish everybody, I wish it could happen to everybody.
Okay.
Vance to Nazis.
Come on in.
Water's lovely.
Okay.
This is in response to Vance saying President Trump did not build the greatest coalition in politics by running his supporters through endless self-defeated purity tests.
I didn't bring a list of conservatives to denounce or deplatform.
This is the best way to honor Turk.
So let's play this video.
Clip number nine.
We'll listen to JD Vance and you tell me who's causing the problem.
You tell me who's causing the division.
Is it JD Vance with this statement about not subjecting your friends and political allies to purity tests?
Or is it the responders to JD Vance who say JD Vance is now a Nazi?
He's dog whistling to the Nazis.
That any expression of unwillingness to cancel your own friends because Israel demands it makes you a Nazi.
That's the argument they're making.
You tell me which side is the extremist.
You tell me which side is the bigoted, you know, intolerant, psychologist.
And, you know, It's something to behold to see the Ben Shapiro types, the allies of Ben Shapiro.
They're really acting like they're winning, like they want, like they're celebrating Benjamin.
They keep posting his speech over and over.
Now, again, you can tell this is purely an AstroTurfed operation when you have everybody across the X world who's in that everybody going, oh my God, this speech from Ben Shapiro.
Oh, my, oh, you have to listen to this speech.
And then the speech is just like not really that good at all, actually.
But I guess they're not trying to fool people like me.
They're trying to fool stupid people.
So maybe it works.
Maybe it works for them.
So you've got JD Vance on side with Tucker Carlson, with Steve Bannon, with Trump himself, really, with Nick Fuentes and Alex Jones.
And on the other side is Ben Shapiro, and I guess Vivek Ramaswamy and the guys from Babylon B.
And it's like, okay, this is not a sincere division between two factions of America First.
There's the America First wing, and there's not.
There's the Israel wing.
And that's their overriding concern.
That's their overriding point of existence, to be honest with you.
Glenn Greenwald says this: establishment types cheering Ben Shapiro's tantrum ignored that he's been giving the same speech for a decade.
He proclaims the GOP must expel all who reject neoconservatism, servitude to banks, and U.S. financing of Israel.
That's also what he said when he demanded Trump be excluded.
And of course, he references his 2016 article, Ben Shapiro, why I will never vote for Donald Trump.
Or rather, I will never vote for Donald Trump.
Here's why.
I will never vote for Donald Trump ever.
I will never vote for Donald Trump because I start with certain, I stand with certain principles.
I stand with small government and free markets and religious freedom and personal responsibility.
Donald Trump stands against all these things.
Okay, so again, if we'd listened to Ben Shapiro back then, we would have lost to Hillary Clinton, and he would have been very happy about that.
Vance is, quote, walking a tightrope on a raging Israel debate within MAGA.
Again, everybody outside gets what this is about.
Everybody inside on the Israel side is like, no, no, this is about La Creedo Nation.
This is about Reagan.
No, no, this is about people who hate first people who love.
You know, there's making up this crazy crap.
Woman's fingers were weird.
Sorry, they made me think it was AI for a second.
Yeah, like Tucker Carlson, right?
Some conservatives have also pushed for Vance, 41, to rebuke his longtime friend Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host who hosted Fuentes on his show this fall and whose calls for the United States to reevaluate its support for the state of Israel have helped fuel a raging fight among President Trump's staunchest supporters.
See, again, everybody gets it.
Everybody else gets it.
Vance gets it.
Tucker gets it.
And even they're sort of circumspect that they'll sort of dance around actually admitting it was Israel or like it's Israel, but they don't have to say that.
We know.
Prominent conservative figures in the United States have clashed at Turning Point's annual conference, exposing an underlying rift within the ruling Republican Party and U.S. President Donald Trump's Make America Great Again base.
The four-day conference held in Phoenix, Arizona, brought together Republican leaders, media personalities, conservative activists, an event which exposed deep ideological disagreements within the conservative movement.
And I got to say, I've only been to one AMF.
I think it was in 2022, something like that, maybe 2023, two years ago.
Sounds about right.
And Charlie Kirk was like a superstar.
Like it really impressed upon me how big his celebrity had gotten where he would walk around the Amfest showroom, you know, conference hall, and there would just be a mob of like 100 people around him.
It was crazy.
But then probably just after Charlie Kirk at his own event, probably the most popular person who wasn't even there was Alex Jones.
And just me being associated with InfoWars, it was like crazy.
It was like crazy how much.
Being at Amfest also hit me for the first time.
Like, yeah, nobody here is talking about small government.
Nobody here is talking about lowering taxes.
Nobody here is talking about any of this stuff that used to be the hallmark of the Republican Party.
Everybody was talking about the globalists.
Everybody was talking about Middle East wars.
Everybody was talking about the things Alex Jones has been talking about forever.
So it's like TPOSA is ahead of the curve when compared to the RNC.
They're still controlled.
They're still being run as a containment operation for the real outrage of the people like Alex Jones that understand, you know, Lindsey Graham is not a good guy all of a sudden.
Ted Cruz is not a good guy all of a sudden.
That actually we still have this deeply ingrained deep state that is eagerly waiting in the shadows to pick up the reins as soon as they think they can be done with this whole Trump phenomenon.
And I'm seeing some breaks between JD Vance and the establishment.
I see Ted Cruz is starting to talk about challenging him in 2028.
I think that's in line with everything else that we're seeing.
My stance has always been JD Vance does have some suspicious connections in his past, but he's a human being that seems to be more on our side than just about anybody else.
And it seems to me like the people that put him in the role that he's in are maybe feeling like they're losing control of him as well.
We'll get back to all of this and I'll expand on it and talk about the newest desires from Israel to get us into war with Iran and how that's playing into everything.
I do want to remind you that we are in the final days of the Christmas 60% off mega sale at thealexjonesstore.com.

All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
This is The War Room.
We'll finish up talking about the TPOSA event here.
JD Vance had sort of an unfortunate response to Nick Fuentes.
They'll keep asking, you know, people keep demanding that he denounce Nick Fuentez.
And one thing they keep saying is that, you know, he's insulted JD Vance and they'll say, oh, he calls him a fat guy with an Indian wife, right?
And in response to this, JD Vance has issued a rebuke.
He says Nick Fuentez can eat poop is a more polite way of saying it, which is just not the best, not the best argument to make when you're talking about Indians.
It's just not.
It's sort of a I'm rubber in your glue kind of argument.
It's just, it just doesn't really work.
Just saying Nick calls his wife Indian and then JD Vance essentially calls Nick an Indian.
It's just very unfortunate.
India did just celebrate their big poop eating festival.
So it's a little bit culturally insensitive to JD Vance to use eating poop as an insult when the glorious Indian culture celebrates eating poop as a sacrament.
So that's just a little bit unfortunate there.
But moving on.
But moving on, again, it's not exactly hard to figure out like where this is coming from or like what's causing the division.
Again, everybody gets it.
CBS News, Turning Point USA's America Fest, puts conservative rift on display as Vance urges unity.
And obviously, let's put it this way.
If you say JD Vance is encouraging unity, it sounds like he's not choosing a side.
But in fact, we just saw that in response to JD Vance's call for unity, that was interpreted by the Israel First crowd as Nazis welcome.
See, because being for unity inherently puts you on the side that's not trying to cancel people.
So by saying he wants unity, by saying that he's not calling to oust a sizable portion of the constituency, that puts him firmly on the America First side, not the Israeli First Ben Shapiro side.
See, Ben Shapiro went out, condemned everybody, castigated everybody, insulted and lied about everybody, and then demanded that everybody else join in.
And then nobody else joined in.
Nobody else joined in.
A lot of people said, hey, you know, Nick Fuentez says things I don't like, but we're not in the business of canceling people.
So really nobody is on Ben's side, if you really like look at it.
Nobody's actually on his side.
The illusion that people are on his side is being perpetuated by other people in his constituency, whatever you want to call it, in his group.
And, you know, I had a tweet last year that went a little bit viral and people got really mad at me for it because I said simply, I'm sick of being called an anti-Semite because Jews keep doing evil things.
Because then people are like, oh, you just say Jews do evil things.
And it's like, well, if somebody does something bad and I talk about it, if the person's not Jewish, it doesn't matter what I say.
If he is Jewish, then that makes me an anti-Semite.
See, it's not the thing or me talking about it that actually matters.
It's the identity of the person that did the thing.
And if they're Jewish, that makes you an anti-Semite.
Do you see how that works?
It's not my fault they're Jewish.
Okay.
Sorry.
And I've always had the exact same stance with all of this, which is Jews don't get leeway because they're Jewish and they don't get condemnation because they're Jewish.
It doesn't matter unless it actually contributes to why they're doing the thing they're doing, in which case you incorporate it just like you incorporate any other group acting on their own behalf openly.
But it's like everything from Charlie Kirk to Jeffrey Epstein to the war with Iran to Trump's abysmal failures in his first year in his second administration to the attempts to out Pete Hegseth to the frustration with Pam Bondi because Matt Gates was forced out over an Israeli blackmail scheme.
Like it's all Israel.
So, you know, it's like it's one thing if you hate Israel and then seek out them and you only talk about it if you care about them and you only mention it if you can relate it to them.
But that's not what's happening here.
What's happening here is that you have all of these seemingly disseparate major issues of contention within the Republican Party.
And yet at the heart of it, every single one of them goes right back to Israel and the Jewish influence operations here in the United States.
So it's almost like, Well, I'll go to Benny Johnson here because I think he puts it well, but we're in a damned-ify-do, damned-if-you-don't situation.
Right?
JD Vance calling for unity.
I'll play this video from Benny Johnson, again, calling for unity, pointing out we have outside enemies that are much more dangerous than those enemies next to us, inside, near us.
But I'd say it's sort of the opposite.
Here's Benny Johnson doing a great job.
I really like what he had to say.
Clip number five.
This was posted saying, how is it that Benny Johnson ends up the adult in the room at Amfest?
Let's watch.
unidentified
The left has decided to no longer debate.
The real enemy is not somebody on your side who disagrees with you.
The real enemy is the left who stopped debating and started killing.
And those sons of bitches need to be called out.
I'm sick of seeing my president get shot in the head.
I'm sick of seeing my friends get shot on a live stream.
I'm sick of seeing stories like Brown University this week with that wonderful, beautiful girl in the college Republicans who was targeted for assassination as well.
So it's time to call evil out and let's do that tonight, huh?
I mean, our enemies in the Democratic Party are a hell of a lot more dangerous to us than a fellow Republican that has a different view on Israel or, you know, what other non-important thing divides us.
But on the other hand, how are we supposed to fight the left when we have infighting going on, when we can't get our objectives over the line, we can't get our agenda served because of these people that are supposedly on our side and yet are trying to tear us down from the inside?
Like, isn't that the thing that you actually have to prioritize if you want to beat those outside forces?
I mean, it feels like, you know, we as this cadre had to fight like we're on a battlefield and there's a tank and there's all these various armies coming at us from every single direction, but our enemies have control of the tank.
So first we have to fight to get control of the tank.
And it's like the election.
We win the election.
Okay, now we have the tank.
Now we can actually turn it to fight our enemies.
And like we're all scrabbling to get in position.
I'm going to the gunner's seat and somebody else is popping out through the top hatch and loading the machine gun.
And then we're like, all right, let's go.
We looked, we're like, why aren't we going?
And we look down and there's two guys like fighting over the wheel on who gets to drive.
And it's like, okay, we're all going to die if we don't have somebody be in charge.
If somebody's not in charge, if we're infighting inside the tank, then we'll never be able to use the tank to defeat all the various armies that are approaching us.
And again, in this metaphor, in this poorly crafted example, it's not, again, like two people just, I want to be in charge.
No, I want to be in charge.
It's more like one guy's like, I'm the tank commander.
I'm the one they put in charge of the tank.
Let me drive.
And the other person's like, no, I have this particular thing that I want to do with the tank, my particular enemy.
It's not any of the people coming at us around us, but I want to take the tank way over there to fight these guys for my own personal beef.
And it's like, that's not what the tank is for.
Sorry.
The tank is for protecting us.
And you come in, start disrupting from the inside, start disabling the tank from inside, start turning the tank into scrap metal from inside.
So we have to deal with you first.
Then we can turn the cannons on everybody else.
Then we can fight our outside enemies, but we can't when we're constantly being hamstrung from the inside.
It's very frustrating.
And again, they are.
I mean, they have lost the young people completely.
And it's like they don't even know how to deal with this.
I've explained this before, but like when it comes to the USS Liberty, right?
Ben Shapiro was asked about the USS Liberty.
He lied about it a bunch.
And actually, I retweeted a video that Alex did.
Alex just like blows mouth away just off the top of his head.
He's just like laying out the facts and just dismantling, debunking everything Ben Shapiro says about the USS Liberty.
But what he was basically saying was, oh, it was an accident.
It was friendly fire.
You know, what's the big deal?
You're just an anti-Semite.
That's the reason you care about this.
Then other people have other excuses for why they think we shouldn't care about this, including a pastor.
Now, these pastors took questions from the audience, and pretty much every single question was about Israel and not in a positive way.
Criticism about people that have been dead for 40 years.
It's this inability to give any credence to any claim that makes Israel look bad at all.
And it's like you got to get over that.
And you just need to go, yeah, yeah, USS Liberty, Israel blew them up.
It was evil.
Your president was in on it.
They were trying to get us into a war in the Middle East.
But, you know, I have the feeling, and I'll lay out my argument as to why very shortly.
I have the feeling that they're so desperate to shut down the USS Liberty talk because we are very much in the danger zone for false flag operations.
And I have the feeling that we are like right around the corner from one.
So they don't want you talking about the fact that American and Israeli governments will conspire to kill Americans, to blame on Israel's enemies, to get America involved in a war in the Middle East.
Not exactly the topic of conversation they want to be entertaining right now, right?
So let's go to clip eight here.
This is the boomer pastor coming up with all new reasons why we shouldn't care about the USS Liberty that I've never even heard before.
The Jews are a talented and hardworking people, and Jewish mothers are always pleased to introduce you to my son the doctor.
But they are also, like the rest of us, sons of Adam, making them dirty rotten sinners.
So if they are overrepresented among the Bolsheviks and the media moguls, just remember that they are also overrepresented among Nobel Prize winners and patent holders.
Professing Christians who are backsliding into Jew hate, and it is backsliding, are angry because the Jews don't believe in Jesus.
Jews are the enemy, it is thought.
But Jesus commanded his followers to love their enemies, which you are manifestly not doing.
So why should Jews listen to Jesus if you don't?
Last thing, and you may consider this a little bonus round item, I mention it only because I believe it was brought up at this conference earlier.
This bonus topic is the USS Liberty, attacked by Israeli planes in 1967, killing 34 Americans.
I'm making no assertions here.
All I am doing is noticing.
All I'm doing is asking questions, you know, like Candace does, recklessly connecting dots.
The Liberty was an intelligence gathering ship, and LBJ was president.
Israel was in the middle of a hot 1967 war.
How confident are you personally that there was no American deep state in 67?
How confident are you that we weren't playing both sides and feeding intel to Egypt?
How confident are you that America can only be double-crossed and can never be the double-crosser?
Your confidence in the essential goodness of the CIA is endearing.
I want to close by saying, and this is crucial, I want to close by saying that I believe that debates about foreign policy and America's relationship to Israel and what happened to the USS Liberty or anything like that are totally inbounds and inbounds at a conference like this.
I'm pretty sure I just heard that boomer pastor, pastor, insinuate that the USS Liberty got attacked by Israel and deserved it.
Okay, I'll add that one to the, I guess, increasing list of absurd excuses when it comes to the USS Liberty.
Again, let me it's again, it's just like it is beyond absurd, the things these people say about it.
So, and again, it's like the temerity, the balls.
Israel attacks an American ship unprovoked, tries to sink it, but out of a sheer miracle, they survive, actually get rescued by the Soviets, believe it or not.
Soviets actually steamed in to help.
I'm not sure if they actually did, but, you know, with friends like these, right?
Israel bombs the hell out of the ship, kills dozens of American sailors, and then turns around and goes, maybe this was you false flagging us.
What?
And maybe you were betraying us and we found out and so we bombed your ship.
It's like, but that didn't, what are you talking about?
So you attacked us and now you're saying that we deserved it because we might have been attacking you.
Like it's so inverted.
It's so crazy that it's like offensive.
It's like actually insulting.
Now, the obvious truthful response would be to simply say, yeah, Israel bombed an American ship.
It was messed up and I don't agree with it.
Is that so hard?
Is that so hard to do?
Is that such a hard thing to say?
Yeah, war is hell.
Israel didn't know if it was going to survive.
It made the calculus that, hey, if we can get America into this, we might actually make it out of this thing.
It sucks, but we got to false flag America into it.
That makes sense.
It's not a good thing.
It's not a thing an ally would do.
It's outrageous that the American government took this on the chin and actually participated in the cover-up and that the whole thing was planned beforehand by the American government and LBJ, who had been given his position when JFK was assassinated by somebody.
We don't know who.
But they have to lie about it.
They have to go so far as to say, yeah, Israel did shoot up the USS Liberty, but you ever stop to think maybe they deserved it?
That is crazy.
That shows you how they really don't know what they're doing.
They really don't know what arguments they're making anymore.
That's not a good argument at all.
And of course, it's completely historically illiterate as well.
But he also has the temerity to quote Jesus.
And it's like, do the uncomfortable insinuations ever crop up when he's like, Jesus said to love your enemies.
So you're disobeying your, you know, you're disobeying Jesus where Jews are, you know, following him.
And it's like, well, wait, being against a group of people, like being critical of Jewish power, say, that doesn't imply that I hate anybody.
Being critical of certain Jews doesn't mean I hate them.
I don't even hate George Soros.
I think he's a despicable scumbag that should be expelled from the country and probably have all of his assets seized and spend the rest of his life in prison.
I don't hate him.
He's just a criminal.
He's just a scumbag.
He just needs to be stopped.
So that is a sly insinuation that is unbecoming of a Christian preacher to basically suggest that by politically opposing a powerful and highly organized group of people, you must hate them.
There's no other excuse to oppose them.
There's no other excuse to talk about or criticize or question them.
It must be hate.
So therefore, if you're questioning Jews, it's because you hate Jews.
Therefore, you're not following Jesus' teaching, which was love your enemies.
Which is like, so are they our enemies?
I thought the whole point was that like we're a Judeo-Christian country and I mean, how are they our enemies?
And also begs the question, what do Jews believe about their enemies?
I mean, they don't believe to love your enemies, right?
just it was dying out there so i mean what so what so they don't they don't believe love your enemies do they i mean I mean, they do.
So are they Christian?
No, why not?
What does all of this mean?
What are you talking about?
And the reason why it's important to harp on this in particular is because it is one of the most important factors in the Israeli 8th front war, the co-opting of American Christianity.
It's why they just brought 1,000 preachers to Israel.
It's why they're geo-fencing churches.
I mean, they have announced and they are rolling out a billion-dollar influence campaign specifically targeting evangelical Christians, so-called non-denominational Christians, anybody basically that's not Catholic or Orthodox,
is being targeted by Israel, insinuating themselves into the church to utilize the authority to manipulate the authority of the church and manipulate the faith of the churchgoers into supporting their political operations, which are about as brutal as you can find on planet Earth.
So this is such a despicable insinuation into Christian communities in this country.
Like why anybody would be okay with this is beyond me because it's not, it has absolutely nothing to do with spirituality.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the supposed mission of these churches, which would be to save souls and spread the message of Christianity and provide a community for their fellow Christians.
Now, they are being co-opted to serve the political interests of a foreign state in a very deliberate, very explicit way, which is like an unforgivable sin.
Like, I'm pretty sure that's what's meant when you like take God's name in vain is when you stand in front of a congregation at an altar and you say, Jesus wants you to support the Netanyahu government.
Jesus Christ himself demands that you give money to the state of Israel.
Like that is beyond heresy.
That's just like offensive beyond belief.
But that's exactly what they're doing.
And it is a prominent component of, a main pillar, a main tentpole of the global push to establish essentially a worldwide Jewish censorship program.
And they're moving forward on this very, very aggressively, sort of in whichever way that they can.
And it's a coalition of organizations from the ADL to stop anti-Semitism to combating anti-Semitism to the World Jewish Congress to the IHRA.
Like they're all in league with each other and they're all pushing through whichever governmental expediencies they can get their hands on.
In America, they're sort of stopped by the First Amendment, but they're making do where they can, right?
Universities, they take federal money.
There's leeway there, crush their speech.
Arrest people for insulting Jews.
There's an anti-Semitism arrest just happened in Canada because of a meme somebody put that featured Hitler.
In Australia, they are going all in on using the attack on Bondi Beach to crush the nativist sentiment of white Australians and to impose massive sweeping anti-Semitism laws and restrictions.
In America, again, they just have the anti-Semitism czar who's overseeing every, there's been an office established in every branch of the executive government.
Really every basically every office in D.C. now has an anti-Semitism czar who reports to the main anti-Semitism Tsar to make sure everything from education to disaster relief is keeping out anti-Semitism, which the IHRA definition essentially says is any criticism of the state of Israel or any Jewish individual or group.
So literally just silencing anybody talking about their ethnicity.
Really infuriating.
Now, again, they'll do it in the churches.
They'll do it through immigration.
They'll do it through the universities.
And in America, they're having to get creative.
But one of their main pushes is this co-opting of the American evangelical church in particular.
And that goes into the takeover of the Republican Party because the evangelical base is basically the engine of the Republican Party at this point.
And so by taking over the evangelical side of things, going into their churches, telling them that's a dictate from God they have to support Israel, they essentially guarantee that the base itself will demand that the politicians be subservient to Israel.
It's a complicated and multifaceted takeover plan, but it's rolling out in front of us.
Throughout history, the suppression of revolutionary energy technologies points to a pattern of inventors meeting untimely or suspicious ends, apparently protecting entrenched interests in the fossil fuel narrative and traditional power systems.
Nikola Tesla, who died in poverty amid claims of suppressed wireless energy transmission ideas.
Tom Ogle, whose vapor fuel system promised extraordinary mileage before his 1981 death from an overdose ruled accidental or suicidal.
And Stanley Meyer, developer of a controversial water fuel cell who perished in 1998 from a cerebral aneurysm despite persistent poisoning rumors.
unidentified
He has developed what's called a water fuel cell.
It has taken the place of his old gas tank.
The water fuel cell breaks down water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen.
Recently, Aaron Salter Jr., a retired police officer working as a security guard at a TOPS grocery store in Buffalo, New York, was passionately developing a hydrogen electrolysis system to power vehicles with water as an alternative to gasoline.
And just a mere days ago, on December 15th, 2025, Nuno Lerrero, a distinguished MIT professor and director of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center, specializing in fusion energy, a potentially limitless clean power source, was fatally shot in his Brookline home.
Many of you know that fusion is the process that powers stars.
The reason that they shine is because at their very core, there are fusion reactions going on that essentially release the energy that keeps the stars alive and shining.
We speak of the plasma state of matter as the word that best describes the state at which the matter is at these very high pressures and temperatures that you find in the core of stars, such as the sun.
And so essentially, in a sort of a slogan kind of way, what we're trying to do at the Plasma Science and Fusion Center is to recreate star-like conditions on Earth, aiming to tap that energy, the fusion energy, for electricity or energy production.
In case there's questions about why we're trying to do this, there's a long list of reasons that range from no polluting emissions to inexhaustible fuel supply, very energetic reactions, so 10 to the 7 more energetic than a chemical reaction.
No risk of meltdowns, or long-lived nuclear waste, civilization scale energy, and flexibility to generate fusion energy pretty much anywhere.
Apparently, a janitor named Derek, who worked as a janitor at Brown University, had previously, that is before the shooting, according to him, alerted the Brown University police that there was an intruder that had been lurking around the building, but yet nothing was done.
We also learned that there were a number of electronic devices discovered in the storage unit that he had and a number of other things, perhaps thumb drives that he had, all of which point to the idea that this was some elaborate plot.
He did a lot of casing, a lot of pre-planning, a lot of recon.
You know, we're waiting on Donald Trump to give an address with Pete Hegseth.
They're supposed to go live at, I believe, 3.30 today Central Time, but they haven't gone live yet, but we're keeping an eye on that.
And if Trump goes live, yeah, it's supposed to be 4.30 p.m. Eastern from Mar-a-Lago, joined by War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Navy Secretary John Fellon.
So we're waiting for that to start.
We'll keep an eye on it and bring it to you just as soon as it goes live.
That was interesting.
Just dropped minutes ago, I think, during the show.
Megan Kelly talks Ben Shapiro's betrayal and the MAGA reckoning at AmericaFest.
As AmericaFest convened the likes of Eric Trump, Tuck Carlson, Kelly Shapiro, and other conservative stars, MAGA was anything but united.
And basically, Megan Kelly comes out saying, Megan Kelly had no idea that Ben Shapiro planned to go after her when he launched into a scathing broadside against what he called charlatans and grifters in the conservative movement on the first night of the annual conference last week.
His pointed inclusion of Kelly shocked the commentator, who has long considered Shapiro a friend.
He thought of you as something else as useful at the time, but no longer.
So you're to be discarded.
But basically, Megan Kelly came out and said, yeah, it's Ben Shapiro that's causing anti-Semitism to spread.
It's Ben Shapiro and the Mark Levins of the world that are causing anti-Semites, not Tucker Carlson, which I think is accurate, which I think is true and accurate.
And also maybe potentially part of the plan.
Because, you know, I see a lot of operations kind of going on right now, or a lot of hints at things like the foreign minister of Israel.
I suppose it was after the Bondi Beach shooting, sort of inspired by that, but he's been issuing declarations around the world telling Jews in every other country, come back to Israel.
Come home to Israel.
It's not safe for you out there.
It's time to come back home.
So, I mean, that obviously they just want bodies for their war machine.
They need, you know, they're running low on recruits or trying to recruit the ultra-Orthodox who aren't having any of it.
So they're running out of people.
So obviously they just need bodies thrown into the grist mill for their war operations.
But I also think it's part of a wider move to try to consolidate Jewish populations in Israel as they attempt to form the Greater Israel Project to take over the Middle East and form an independent superpower out from under the shadow of America, which is obviously their intention.
And I guess that's sort of the starting point to understand Benjamin Nanyahu's upcoming visit to the United States.
It'll be like something like his 11th visit this year.
I mean, he's been here many, many times, each time with the same agenda, with the same intent, to get Donald Trump to sign off on war with Iran.
And as we've been covering for the entirety of Trump's administration and before, in fact, since a week after the election in 2024, we were describing the ongoing shadow war between the Trump administration and Israel.
And that's why it frustrates me when people are like, oh, Trump is an Israeli puppet.
It's like, if you're paying attention, if you're reading between the lines, if you're paying attention to the details and not starting with that assumption, but actually trying to find out what the truth is, I think you're more likely to discover that Trump has to do certain things for Israel, is compelled to put people in certain positions, appoint certain ambassadors, or not appoint Matt Gates to the AG.
And so he'll serve them in some regards, but in the big picture sectors, he's not doing what they want.
He didn't go to full war with Iran.
And in fact, he was almost certainly blackmailed into doing the attack on Iran that he did.
But ever since then, we've been saying that this is not satisfactory for Israel.
They have wider plans.
Their main goal, as I've been saying forever, was to use the Gaza conflict, parlay that into taking out Iran.
And if they can take out Iran, then everything they've done up till this point will be worth it.
If they don't take out Iran, then they'll have just ruined their reputation overseas, caused irreparable damage to their reputation amongst young people, especially.
You know, chickens that will come home to roost in a few years when nobody's voting for pro-Israel politicians and the support from America is withdrawn.
I mean, this is an existential crisis for them.
So they really need to get Iran, and that hasn't changed.
And Trump did what Trump does best.
Honestly, I got to give it to him.
I didn't like that he bombed Iran, and I still think that was a mistake in the first place.
I'm sick of people going, oh, but you said it was going to be World War III, but it was just one hit.
It's like, okay, well, my son shoots an arrow, you know, shoots an apple off my daughter's head with an arrow.
I'm not going to say, oh, it's fine that he did that.
Let him do it again.
It's like, well, okay, we got lucky.
All right.
We avoided a possible fate.
But that wasn't a foregone conclusion.
And honestly, you should be thanking Iran for not responding in a bigger way, which is why that never accelerated farther than it was.
So Trump is live now.
All right, let's go to Trump here.
We'll see what he has to say.
And I'll lay out what's coming from Israel as they again try to gin up war with Iran.
So I want to wish everybody a big hello and Merry Christmas.
And welcome to Mar-a-Lago for this exciting announcement of the new golden fleet.
We're calling it the Golden Fleet that we're building for the United States Navy.
As you know, we're desperately in need of ships.
Our ships are, some of them have gotten old and tired and obsolete.
And we're going to go the exact opposite direction.
We're delighted to be joined by Secretary of War Pete Hankset, who's doing a fantastic job, and Secretary of the Navy, John Phelan.
Marco Rubio is here, gave a great few words toward the end of last week.
He spoke for a couple of hours on what a good job we're doing, which is true.
As Commander-in-Chief, it's my great honor to announce that I have approved a plan for the Navy to begin the construction of two brand new, very large, largest we've ever built, battleships.
You know, you used to build the Iowa, the Missouri, the Wisconsin, the Alabama, many others.
We had big battleships.
These are bigger.
But they will have 100 times the, they'll be 100 times the force of power.
And there's never been anything like these ships.
These have been under design consideration for a long time.
And it started with me in my first term because I said, why aren't we doing battleships like we used to?
And these are the best in the world.
They'll be the fastest, the biggest, and by far 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built.
So if you look at the Iowa, the Missouri, Wisconsin, Alabama, and others, but they were similar in size, some a little bit bigger than the others.
But if you take the biggest one, it's 100 times more powerful.
They're longer by a little bit, and they're bigger, they're bigger ships, but they hold much more.
They use the word lethality.
Battleships are the largest, sturdiest, and most heavily armed vessel built specifically for naval combat.
While America has built many new warships over the years, they've tended to be smaller, much smaller, and not conducive to where we are and where we're going, peace through strength.
But including, we've been building aircraft carriers.
We're going to be upping that also.
We're going to be going to a superior aircraft.
We have the Ford class.
We're going to be upping that to a different class of aircraft carrier.
And we haven't built a battleship since 1994.
These cutting-edge vessels will be some of the most lethal surface warfare ships.
It will be actually the most ever built other than our submarines.
We have submarines which will have, in many ways, even more lethality, and we have many of them under construction.
Each one of these will be the largest battleship in the history of our country, the largest battleship in the history of the world ever built.
And again, it's 100 times more powerful than the previous Iowa class, it's called.
Those are the big ones that you see on a show.
Victory at Sea.
I don't know if anyone's seen Victory at Sea, but it was a classic.
They'll help maintain American military supremacy, revive the American shipbuilding industry, and inspire fear in America's enemies all over the world.
We want respect.
We're going to have it.
We already have it.
More respected now than we ever were.
A year and a half ago, they laughed at us.
Now they respect us again at levels that they've never respected us.
We envision that these two ships, we're talking about 10, but we're going to start with two, and we're going to quickly morph into 10.
And ultimately, we think it's going to be anywhere from 20 to 25 of these.
But we're starting with the first two immediately, and we're going to then be very quickly involved with, I think, we're going to do another eight.
And then we're going to ultimately and pretty quickly have a total of about 20 to 25.
We'll make that determination.
We envision that these ships will be the first of a whole new class of battleships to be produced in the years to come.
From Theodore Roosevelt, the great white fleet, you remember that, the great white fleet, to the legendary USS Missouri, whose massive guns helped win World War II.
America's battleships have always been unmistakable symbols of national power.
We stopped making them for whatever reason, I don't know.
And I want to congratulate John Thalen, who is your secretary, Secretary of the Navy.
He came to me the first day we met.
He talked about battleships, and I said, you're absolutely on the right track.
He said, why are we doing other things?
We have missiles which are much more expensive.
By the way, these battleships have tremendous numbers of missiles, but they also have guns.
And in many ways, guns can do the trick just as well as missiles at a tiny fraction of the cost.
Once completed, these new 30 to 40,000 ton plus vessels will be the flagships of the American Naval Fleet, and there has never been anything built like them.
And I just want to be very clear that we're building them here.
We're working with others.
We're building them here.
We have great Navy yards.
We'll be negotiating with some of the companies that are running those yards, taking over the yards.
We used to build a ship a day during World War II.
Now we don't do ships very much anymore.
We do military ships.
We do submarines.
By the way, we're 15 to 20 years advanced in our submarines over anybody else.
That was one of the things that I did in my first term.
We make the best submarines by far in the world.
We're at least 15 years advanced ahead of anybody else in submarine development.
Most powerful, that's right, the most powerful weapon anywhere in the world.
Undetectable.
So the battleships are going to be armed just in terms of guns and missiles at the highest level.
They'll also have hypersonic weapons, many hypersonic weapons, state-of-the-art electric railguns, and even the high-powered lasers that you've been starting to read about.
We have lasers where you aim the laser at a target and it just wipes it out.
We're going to have, they'll be the most sophisticated lasers in the world, and the most sophisticated laser in the world will be on the battleships that we're building.
They'll also carry the nuclear arms, two-launched cruise missiles currently under development, which will be instituted pretty quickly, but they're under development and they've proven to be extremely lethal.
The U.S. Navy will lead the design of these ships along with me because I'm a very aesthetic person, alongside our partners in American industry.
And we're going to have Pete Hegseth and Marco and a lot of very talented people involved.
But a lot of it's already been done.
We've been doing this for months.
The construction will create thousands of American jobs.
We're going to have the jobs be created.
I mean, already we have factories being built unrelated to this, although AI will be a big factor when it comes to these ships.
They'll be very AI, AI-controlled.
Today's announcement is yet another step in our mission to make the United States Navy stronger than ever before.
Again, when you talk about 100 times the power of these massive ships that we had years ago, it's pretty amazing.
And next week I'm going to meet with the defense prime contractors.
I'm going to meet with them here, Florida.
And we're going to be talking about production schedules because they're too slow.
We have many countries, allies that are wanting to buy.
We make the greatest equipment in the world by far.
Nobody's even close, but they don't produce them fast enough.
So we're going to be meeting with them to talk about the production schedules.
We're going to have strong production schedules.
And the only way they're going to be able to do that is to build new plants.
Even with the F-35, we have many people who want the F-35 fighter jet.
And it takes too long to deliver them to allies or to ourselves.
It takes too long.
The only way they're going to be able to deliver them is if they build new plants.
They don't want to build new plants because that's expensive.
So this is Donald Trump live in Mar-a-Lago with Hegseth and Phelan, the secretaries of war and the Navy, announcing new Trump-class battleships.
Which, okay.
That's cool.
I want to be excited about it.
Do I really do American manufacturing sailing the high seas?
I wish I could get on board with this.
Battleships, really battleships.
Battleships have been defunct since World War One.
What are we talking about here?
What are we talking about now?
I imagine they've taken this into consideration.
I assume the people in the NAVY designing these things understand just as well as I do the changes in modern warfare.
I just have trouble understanding how a large, expensive, singular, unified piece of equipment is going to stand up against the modern state of decentralized swarm drone warfare.
I just feel like maybe this is a chance to look back in history, see battleships have not been a good investment for 100 years.
This lesson was learned by Nazi Germany in a very powerful way when the Tirpitz, they made these two giant battleships just ahead of World War II.
It's actually called Plan Z, and it was supposed to take place like five years after the war started.
But they built these two giant battleships, the Bismarck and the Tirpitz.
The Bismarck sank one British vessel and then itself was sunk.
And like when you sink a battleship, it's gone.
You know, I mean, it takes billions of dollars to build a battleship and they get one lucky strike and it's over.
That's why I'm sort of like, why are we doing this?
Like when you've got hypersonic missiles and drone warfare and drone boats, I mean, really, you want to invest this much in giant floating targets?
I don't think this is a good idea.
And so, you know, like the Bismarck sunk after sinking the hood, hunted down and destroyed.
And then the Tirpitz never even got out of dock.
It was called like a fleet in waiting, a fleet in being or something like that.
But basically, they spent billions of dollars, had thousands of people manning this battleship, never left the dock, never sank, never shot a single bullet in anger.
And so when you look at that, you're like, yeah, the amount of money and time and resources they poured into building these battleships probably could have won them the war.
If they'd spent that money on tanks, if they'd spent that money on building defenses, like, yeah, you may have won the war, but instead they poured it all into this platform, this combat platform that was defunct.
That wasn't the way you project power.
There's a reason that we don't build battleships anymore.
We have aircraft carriers.
They took over battleships.
They do what battleships did, but better than battleships.
And it's like, okay, if this is just a big jobs program, which I also understand, it's practically the only manufacturing we even do anymore.
I've said this before.
In this weird way, it's weapons manufacturing that's like saving the American economy because it's one of the only industries where you have to hire American citizens.
If you're working on like top secret stuff or anything, you know, defense contract related, you have to hire American citizens.
I was like, other than Lockheed Martin and Raytheon and all these other weapons manufacturers, we don't have a lot of manufacturing here.
So I get the impulse to be like, let's just build ships, spend money on supplies, employ people, project power.
Obviously, Trump has found gunboat diplomacy extremely useful.
But it's like you could do something else to create jobs, you know?
You know, during the 1930s, we created a lot of jobs here in the United States.
And, you know, they built like 100 dams in Texas.
Basically, every lake in Texas now that exists was built by FDR during the jobs program.
I don't know.
Maybe you could do that.
I'd rather have national parks and new dams and I don't know, things like that than battleships.
But I don't know.
I'm sure the Navy thought about this.
I'm sure they've looked into this.
It just seems very weird to me to be building battleships 100 years after they stopped being effective in war.
But what do I know?
I guess it's cool.
It's very cool.
I don't know.
Has something happened in warfare that makes battleships feasible again?
I guess if they're just platforms for launching drones, like I guess you don't need aircraft carriers if you don't have jets.
Maybe that's what they're intending.
Maybe, you know, battleships armed with direct energy weapons, you know, make it a different situation.
We're going to be joined by Rex Jones in the third hour.
I'm going to get into why I think Israel is trying to get America into Iran and a bunch of trends I see pointing in that direction here on the other side of this.
And this next segment is going to be good.
And then I want to get in with Rex to what's going on in Australia because that is a whole other bucket of worms.

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the war room.
We're going to talk about war now.
The war that Israel wants more than anything.
And I honestly struggle to know how to talk about this because it's all so deeply interconnected, because it's also intertwined, because you can't talk about free speech without talking about the censorship on anti-Semitism, which is there as part of the overall attempt to control all information flows because they want war with Iran.
Then you got the Epstein file, and it just, it all sort of falls back in on itself.
And so, again, I'm trying to figure out where to even start with this.
I guess we can start with this, from AOL.com.
Netanyahu plans to brief Trump on possible new Iran strikes.
Israeli officials have grown increasingly concerned that Iran is expanding production of its ballistic missiles program, which was damaged by Israeli military strikes earlier this year and are preparing to brief President Donald Trump about options for attacking it again, according to a person with direct knowledge of the plans and four former U.S. officials briefed on the plans.
Okay, so basically they realize they've learned that the weapons of mass destruction lie doesn't work on us anymore.
That's basically what's happened here.
And by the way, you look at the MAGA Civil War, you look at sort of the chaos that the Republican Party is in.
A lot of people point to the assassination of Charlie Kirk as being sort of the point where everything went off the rails.
I'd say it was the attack on Iran.
I think when Trump attacked Iran, that was sort of the breaking point for a lot of people, myself included.
And I think the Charlotte Kirk assassination was swept up in the fallout of that.
But that was sort of the biggest and most blatant expression of this secretive, shadowy war taking place inside the Trump administration for so long, as we've been reporting and sort of, you know, as developments arise, bring you updates to this.
And as far as I can tell, I'm like the only person framing it this way, connecting all of these different things, the Signal Gate scandal with Pete Hegseth.
They're trying to oust him because he didn't want war with Iran.
At the same time, they're ousting assistance to him and assistance to JD Vance that were against Iran.
And the pressure on Charlie Kirk was increasing because he was arguing against Iran.
Trump fairly blew up at him.
So again, like this is the conflict going on behind the scenes that bubbles up, that we see bits of it, but no one ties it all together.
It seems obvious to me where all this is coming from, where it's all going.
Like the Signal Gate is the best example.
They've got this Mike Waltz guy who leaks the Signal Gate chat to his fellow Zionist friend at the Atlantic.
It blows up.
It's discovered that Mike Waltz is in communication with Netanyahu behind Trump's back.
When Netanyahu's coming here to try to pressure Trump into bombing Iran, Trump's assistant or Trump's deputy, Mike Waltz, is secretly communicating with Netanyahu to try to feed him strategy to get Trump to go into a war with Iran.
I mean, eventually he's forced to resign and he becomes like a UN ambassador or something because obviously we can't actually ever punish these guys for real.
Can't ever actually treat them with any sincere concern for what they've done.
He committed treason after all.
He tried to essentially blackmail Trump into dropping Pete Hegseth so that we could go to war with Iran.
Like kind of a big deal for me, but slap on the wrist for him.
And then we saw it again about two weeks ago.
We saw not only the Signal scandal flare up again, where they tried to claim, oh, you know, we've looked at it.
Actually, it looks like he did put out classified information.
Maybe Pete Hagg, maybe Signalgate really is a scandal we need to pay attention to.
That didn't really go anywhere, though.
And then what was the other thing with Pete Hegseth like two weeks ago?
I can't even remember.
It mattered so little.
It was such a fabricated, you know, oh, it was the double taps on the boats, right?
Again, nothing to do with the double taps on the boats.
They just want to oust Pete Hegseth because he doesn't want to go to war with Iran.
That's what all of this has to do with.
Okay?
Right.
The signing a pledge of protection with Qatar in response to this.
So what happens is Israel has agents placed highly up all throughout our government, including congressmen, senators, right?
Some of them are very obvious, like we know who they are, which is why we look to them when trying to determine what the strategy is here.
I'd say the two most prominent senators would be Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham.
And I've got a lot of them, you know, what they're talking about today.
But it sounds like they've got all these people in the government.
They've got people feeding information to Donald Trump, false information, that even when Tulsi Gabbard comes out and says, I'm the ODNI and I'm telling you Iran is two years from a nuclear bomb, Trump's like, well, I have different information.
It's like, okay, well, it's not coming from an American intelligence source.
Where do you think it's coming from?
So they're feeding him fake information.
They're stopping him from getting real info about how we feel about all this.
They're trying to outPete Hegseth.
Trump is being forced to do this.
We've heard little bits of this, like JD Vance going, hey, the peace deal we got, we had to use some leverage to get that.
Okay, so they're coming out and telling you, hey, Israel is trying to force us to do something.
We're pushing back.
We're doing things Israel doesn't like.
We have the initiative against them.
But they can't just come out and say that.
It has to all be doublespeak.
But obviously, Trump has not been satisfied with his role in all of this and has done everything he can to keep us out of war with Iran.
But they have a lot of pressure to bring to bear.
And it's not just the Epstein blackmail stuff.
And it's not just the people inside the government threatening false flags.
So obviously there's so and then to explain this from the Israeli perspective, they think Trump is going to give them everything they want.
They start making these big, ambitious plans for taking over all of Gaza and expelling everybody overseas.
I really think maybe as a consequence of Charlie Kirk being killed, remember it was right after Charlie Kirk got killed, Trump came out and they're like, they kicked the ADL off of advising the FBI.
They signed the thing with Qatar saying they were protecting them.
And he forced the peace deal with Gaza.
Now, I wonder if Charlie Kirk's assassination didn't have something to do with that.
That may have been some of the leverage that JD Vance was talking about, or it may have been Trump just going, this is BS.
I'm not messing with it.
He kind of had a Charlie Kirk moment.
Charlie Kirk says, I'm done with this.
You know, maybe Trump got to that point.
Regardless, Israel thought they were going to get Gaza.
They're frustrated that they weren't able to take that all over.
They're frustrated that there's a ceasefire.
They're breaking the ceasefire on a daily basis.
Average, they kill two Palestinians a day since the ceasefire has been established.
They're trying to break it.
They're trying to get out of it.
They're bombing the hell out of South Lebanon.
They're trying to use diplomatic pressure from the United States to oust Hezbollah in Lebanon.
They just took over the Golan Heights.
Trump just signed that over to them and celebrated it in his Hanukkah announcement.
They're expanding into Syria, operating inside Syria.
They're massively expanding West Bank settlements.
Like they have no intention of slowing down.
They have no intention of even moderating their expansionist programs.
They've just moved to different locations, different places.
All right.
We're not bombing Gaza anymore.
We're bombing Venezuela.
We're not going after Iran.
We're diplomatically trying to deal with Hezbollah.
Again, all part of the same attacks, all part of the same mission, the greater Israel mission.
Okay.
So with all of that as background, we have some other things cropping up.
Like I said, we had another round of trying to oust Pete Hegseth a couple weeks ago.
Okay, it didn't work, but it would have been nice to have him out and have a Zionist commander, real Israel first commander in there, because it seems like this week they're launching a new attack to try to get us into war with Iran.
Previously, it was weapons mass destruction, nuclear weapons.
Oh my gosh, if they get a nuclear weapon, they'll use it on America.
We have to stop them.
That wasn't very convincing.
Slash, they bombed the Fordo site and said, okay, we took care of that.
That's not a threat anymore.
And so Israel went, ah, crap.
Well, all right, we can't say nuclear bomb in two weeks like we've been saying for 20 plus years.
What else can we say?
So again, we are beating Israel in the information front.
And all of this is a consequence of that fact, right?
They weren't able to do what they're doing in Gaza, so they're moving on to the West Bank.
They can't get us to go to war with nuclear weapons.
So now they're talking about the ballistic weapon systems.
It's just a constant push to try to get us into war with Iran, whatever excuse they can bring to bear.
Obviously, the weapons mass destruction wasn't working.
So now they're moving over to the ballistic weapons, which isn't a very good sell because it's not really a threat to us, actually.
That's a threat to Israel and not us.
So we don't really have to concern ourselves that much with it.
But the conflict between Israel and Trump is heating up.
And I even think Nick Fuentes is right about JD Vance, more or less, that he's intended to be the next president and was intended to serve the people that made him, who include Peter Thiel and Palantir and the entire Zionist diaspora power structure.
But I never, I don't think he's ideologically dedicated to them.
And I think that more and more, I'm seeing hints that he's like signaling that.
And I think they're getting that signal.
I don't think it's a coincidence that you have JD Vance refusing to go along with the cancellations, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, et cetera.
He doesn't go along with the trying to destroy the young Republicans over the text messages.
Oh my God, Nazis, we have to oust him.
No, he doesn't go with that.
He goes out on TPOSA stage and says, you know, you don't have to be ashamed of being white.
He's kind of off the reservation.
These aren't things that you'll ever hear Ted Cruz or Lindsey Graham saying.
So is he just that deep cover?
Is it just laying enough camo to make us think, okay, he's not controlled.
It could be, very well could be.
But then around this same time, you have this.
Ted Cruz weighs another presidential run, setting up clash with Vance.
His friend Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, told Cruz he believed that, quote, Jew hatred and Israel bashing were on the rise on the right and that something had to be done about it.
Cruz, who'd begun a series of speeches decrying anti-Semitism in the GOP, told Klein he'd been fielding requests from people urging him to run for president in 2028.
So it seems like maybe they're getting cold feet with Vance.
Maybe he's not the ideologue that Ted Cruz is.
So maybe now they're setting up Ted Cruz to go, hey, JD, you better fall back in line or we're going to set up Ted Cruz to take you out.
And it's all over anti-Semitism, as said in the Washington Post article right there, the first paragraph.
It's about anti-Semitism.
The Zionist Organization of America is encouraging Ted Cruz to do this.
Same time, you have this massive push to consolidate the Republican Party into Israel's hands.
Clip 15 here, this is Lindsey Graham, who, again, we don't have to speculate, is absolutely 100% fully and genuinely dedicated to the Zionist cause.
Let's go to clip 15 here.
This is Lindsey Graham basically saying Israel's taking over the Republican Party and we'll gatekeep anybody who doesn't serve them.
All right, this might be a good time to bring up the West Bank settlements because they've been a deliberate and brutal provocation against the communities that live there, and it's been increasing and it's been going on for 70 years at this point, but they've really increased the viciousness and the brutality and the number of these very recently.
Israel's cabinet approves 19 new settlements in West Bank, finance minister says.
The settlements include two that were previously evacuated during a 2005 disengagement plan, according to Finance Minister Smotrick, who's pushed a settlement expansion area in the West Bank.
Here you can see some of the West Bank settlements as they've cropped up.
New York Times has done a big visual spread of this that's pretty impressive, actually, talking about this.
Now, by the way, a lot of these settlements in the West Bank, there's a particularly disturbing aspect of this, which is that it's Advent, and like we're reading these stories about these very communities, about Mary and Joseph walking through the West Bank to give birth to the Son of God.
And it's like, this is the location, the place where the Lord Jesus Christ was born in a stable and laid in a manger as the salvation of the world.
That's the site of these brutal arson attacks, vicious depopulation campaigns.
It really is kind of disturbing all of it, kind of sickening.
But it's also a slap in Trump's face.
Israel approves 19 new settlements in occupied West Bank.
Land grab inside Israel's escalating campaign for control of the West Bank.
This is from the New York Times.
And in fact, they have a video of it that I believe I put in there, clip 39.
Here we can play as B-roll.
Land grab inside Israel escalating campaign for control of the West Bank.
Olive Grove by Olive Grove.
Sheep Pasture by Sheep Pasture.
Village by village.
The idea of a Palestinian state is withering in the West Bank.
So a lot of these communities are Christian communities, by the way.
This isn't a Jews versus Muslim false dichotomy.
There are communities that are entirely Christian and have been there since Jesus walked on the earth that are being eradicated by Israeli expansion.
Armed Israeli settlers, also often protected by soldiers, harass and attack Palestinian villagers daily with the undisguised goal of driving them out.
Over the past two years, Israeli settlers have established a record number of new outposts in the occupied territory.
The goal is to win on the ground what might be otherwise lost at the negotiating table.
Even as the war in Gaza commanded the world's attention over the past two years, the facts on the ground were shifting in the West Bank, intensifying the battle for control of the lands of Bethlehem and Jericho, Ramallah, and Hebron.
Since October 7th, 2023, attacks on Israel by Palestinian militants from Gaza, Israel's new far-right government has embraced a playbook of expanding settlements across the West Bank, transforming the region piece by piece from a patchwork of connected Palestinian villages to a collection of Israeli neighborhoods.
The unrelenting violent campaign by these settlers that critics say is largely tolerated by the Israeli military consists of brutal harassment, beatings, even killings, as well as high-impact roadblocks and village closures.
Because, of course, it's an apartheid system where you can have highways where Palestinians have to go on this highway and they have to go through a checkpoint and they have to be questioned and it can be detained indefinitely with no proof.
And then the Israelis get the free highway that just goes right through and circumvents all the checkpoints.
And that's a model for the rest of the world, by the way.
So they approved 19 new settlements.
Now, just weeks ago, Donald Trump.
Well, first of all, let's just go to clip 13 here.
This was a few days ago.
This was him at the Hanukkah celebration, bragging about all he'd done for Israel, including helping them to claim control of the Golan Heights that they've been illegally occupying for the last 60 or 70 years.
Here's Trump celebrating how he signed it over to Israel.
It's worth trillions of dollars, but he granted it to them.
So just a reminder of how friendly and how nice and how good Trump has been for Israel as we talk about how they're straight up betraying him and slapping him in the face.
Here he is celebrating his slavish devotion to them.
Yeah, maybe you should have asked him for something.
We've been reporting on this for years, ever since, I mean, since before Trump was in office again, Genie, oil, it's like all of Trump's biggest Jewish donors.
They all owned the oil company.
They claimed rights in the Golan Heights, but the Golan Heights has been, anyway, he gave it to them.
He gave it to them because he loves them so much.
And in return, they're betraying him, literally slapping him in the face.
This is him from a few months ago.
I mean, I believe this was during the settlement of the Gaza ceasefire.
So this would have been in the summer, right?
So this is a few months ago, earlier this summer.
Here's Donald Trump when asked about Israel's plans to massively expand West Bank settlements that they just did.
Let's watch.
unidentified
Did you promise leaders this week that you would not allow Israel to annex the West Bank?
I suspect that they're doing this to deliberately provoke Trump.
I think they're doing this so that then when they, when Netanyahu comes to D.C., this can be part of the negotiations as they try to rope Trump into war with Iran.
You know, maybe he can come out and go, they were doing settlements, but I got them to reverse the settlements.
Maybe that's why they're doing it.
Because otherwise, it doesn't really make any sense, right?
If they're coming to the U.S. to try to get Trump into war with Iran, which is what they're doing, I can have more proof than you could possibly need.
Why would they do something so obviously insulting and disrespectful to him?
Well, as a show of power, maybe.
Put him in his place.
Show him how much they actually take his threat seriously.
Could be that, which is kind of humiliating, and Trump should do something about it.
Or it's a negotiation tactic.
Well, I mean, that would be a negotiation tactic too.
But yeah, maybe it's something that they know Trump doesn't want.
They're doing it on purpose so they can pretend to capitulate to him as part of the settlement, the agreement, whatever they're going to come to.
Now, the reason it's like certain that they're, again, trying to get us to go to war with Iran is because they're actually telling us this.
Let's go to clip number 37 here.
This is Israeli media laying out their thinking before Netyahu's meeting with Trump.
Let's watch.
The main problem with the ballistic missile story is that they've caught on to the daylight, the gap between Israel and the United States.
What's happened here is that Donald Trump gave his word and then broke it.
We will not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons.
But he didn't talk about conventional weapons, the ballistic missiles that threaten Israel.
They threaten Israel to such an extent that Netanyahu himself, in a video announcing to the Israeli people that he was launching Operation Nation of Lions, he said that two existential threats had developed, the nuclear threat you've known about for years, but also the threat of thousands of ballistic missiles.
What happened since then?
The Iranians are not afraid of acting on the nuclear front.
We know they have not even extracted the enriched material buried there underground, but they are very intensifying their experiments with ballistic missiles, either because they think it's threatening or because Netyahu says it's an existential threat to Israel.
We also have a race between the number of their missiles and the number of our missiles.
And let's say that both countries need to recover on this front.
Let's ask the question now.
And here I don't have an answer.
When Netyahu goes to Washington to talk to Trump about this, is he talking to him about a combined attack?
Which seems a bit far-fetched to me because the Americans really have no intention of getting involved in a conventional weapons conflict anywhere in the world.
Otherwise, they would never get out of it.
Or is he content to give Israel permission to attack on its own with the U.S. providing a defensive umbrella?
One, two, it should be said in the context that there's a big debate in the Israeli cabinet and at the top whether it's possible to launch an attack every six months.
You cannot, unlike the nuclear project, you cannot eliminate the Iranian ballistic threat.
It's unsustainable.
It is sustainable to come to every six months, eight months, and launch another round, which includes them firing at us and all the flights leaving Israel and the implications for the economy.
There's no decision in Israel.
There's no decision in the U.S.
They will discuss it there.
So that's their problem, is that they don't have the nuclear boogeyman anymore.
Either Trump destroyed it on Fordo and it's no longer a threat or he didn't destroy it.
So that type of operation isn't effective against the nuclear.
It's not an effective nuclear deterrent.
Now, the real twist of this is that it's almost certain that Israel threatened to use a nuclear weapon on Iran.
And that was probably the deciding factor that forced Trump into participation.
Why he decided he had to bomb eventually is because they threatened to use a nuclear bomb.
I can show you those videos on the other side and explain how that's a regular tactic that Israel uses that explains why America is willing to go to war for Israel.
Because if we don't, they'll start World War III and it'll be billions of people dead.
They're literally holding a gun to the world's head.
Now I've got a breaking bombshell story here.
The DOJ has released a shocking fake video of Jeffrey Epstein's suicide as part of the file dump.
We'll show you that video on the other side.
Stay with us, folks.
All right.
Welcome back.
Ladies and gentlemen, third hour of the war room is in, is on and in studio is the one and only Rex Jones.
I feel like your bio is getting shorter.
Geopolitical news enthusiast, dog lover, supplement guru, co-host of Gray Area Talks at Rex Jones News with a Z. That's right.
Short and sweet.
That's all you need.
50% off.com is where you can go to get fantastic supplements.
So the DOJ on Monday released shocking footage that appeared to be a recreation of Jeffrey Epstein's suicide in his Manhattan jail cell.
And it briefly set the internet on fire until it was revealed to be fake.
The video was posted without explanation to the Justice Department's website as part of the Epstein file dump.
And that's just the latest in a trove of documents.
The grainy 12-second computer-generated clip, so it is graphics, shows a white-haired man in an orange jumpsuit struggling and jerking his head about while kneeling at the base of the jail cell bunk bed.
I got to say, it doesn't look like you can kill yourself like this.
But this is very weird because it's like, okay, why would they release this without context if it was supposed to make you think, oh, yeah, this is possible?
Even if we disagree with it or whatever, if you have the fleet parked off the coast and it costs a billion dollars a day to keep it there, like, come on, man, let's see some action.
Well, I want to get into Australia because it ties it all in together.
But just before you came on, I was talking about what's going on in Israel and that basically everybody, everybody is agreeing that Netyahoo is coming to the U.S. to, as the Times of Israel puts it, quote, present Trump with the new Iran attack plans during his U.S. visit.
No, the ballistic missiles are a threat to our Navy.
That's how I see it with this talk of the big battleship and whatnot.
Like they really, the U.S. government didn't like it when the Yemenis, when the Houthis hit the, or tried to hit the boat with the missile and the F-16 or whatever it was, went overboard.
The thing you got to realize about Iran, Iran has 92 million people.
Iran lost, I think it's like, I think it's between like a million and a half and four million people during their fight against Saddam Hussein with Iraq.
And we were backing Saddam back then, of course.
So we're talking about a place for like an invasion to actually work.
There's no way the IDF could go in there and take over the country.
You would need U.S. ground forces and ground troops to be involved.
That would be the only way it could ever go down.
And I don't think, you know, for all his faults, and I criticize Trump a lot and I get called like a black pillar, a doomer, whatever.
I don't think Trump wants to have ground war in a place.
No, he does either.
And I think it really is.
And people say this is a cop-out or whatever.
I really do think it is the bad people in like appointed leadership positions that are pushing him to do some of this stuff.
And I'm just like, man, like, why are we still listening to like the NATO people when they're begging for the wars, right?
And if we're always, if we're always at war and we're always like, I compared it on my show yesterday to like, you know, we always have to fight the kaiju monster that's out there in the water.
There are real problems with, you know, making sure that we preserve our influence in the world to some extent and like dealing with China and whatnot.
I understand that stuff.
But when we're meddling in these areas, we have no reason to be really, in my opinion.
I know we probably disagree with that.
I know me and my dad disagree on that, especially with Venezuela.
And I hear Monroe doctrine.
I understand the logic.
I can understand it's a rational argument.
But at the same time, why are we doing this, man?
Like, why are we doing this?
And it's the same thing as he goes out there and he talks about the battleships.
It's like, we have to prove we're tough.
We have to prove we're strong.
Everyone will respect true peace through strength instead of strength through peace.
And I think he's trying to get strength through peace right now.
I don't know if that makes sense, but just think about it a little bit.
And the way that he moves and the way that he behaves, we all voted for him because we do believe he's an anti-war person.
The reason, though, I'm told, that Donald Trump decided to bomb Iran was that the Israelis said for the first time, if you don't bomb Iran to take out these deep bunkers, we're going to use nuclear weapons.
And they had never threatened that before.
And so Trump said, bombing Iran might actually save us from the start of World War III if it keeps the Israelis from using nuclear weapons.
So according to your source, the Israelis told the president of the United States that if he did not use the United States military power to bomb the nuclear facilities in Iran, Israel, acting on its own, would use nuclear weapons.
Yeah.
Do you see why there's a problem with that statement, John?
Because they've never admitted that they've had them.
That's right.
So you're telling me that they just admitted to the president of the United States that they have nuclear weapons and we still do not have them in the IAEA treaty.
And so he said, is this what you want us to threaten now?
I said, absolutely.
Except this time, I want us to go forward with it if necessary.
If they think we're bluffing, we go forward with it.
Look, as far as I'm concerned, when we are faced with an existential threat, we have the right to use any and all weapons in our disposal to eliminate that existential threat.
A lot of people don't know anything about nuclear weapons at all, what they are, how they can be used.
And I'm tired of using euphemisms.
I'm tired of saying, well, we have something in the basement, but we won't be the first to introduce nuclear weapons in the Middle East.
And when the first clip played of John Kiriaku, I was talking to Harrison.
I was like, I have something for this.
I have something for this.
And he was like, wait, I'm going to play the Jonathan Pollard stuff.
And I was like, that's exactly where I was going.
So this country that is our greatest ally that we send billions and billions of dollars to, they're like, hey, look at our runway right now because they're losing the Yom Kippur War really bad.
And then they got the nukes parked and they're ready to launch.
And then we acquiesce and submit to that.
So to say that is not anti-Semitic or crazy.
Like that's just reality.
And if you say that in Australia, because they've adopted the IAEA definition of anti-Semitism, which is any criticism of Israel is therefore a hate crime, right?
You would not be allowed to criticize this man who spent nearly like 30 years in prison, right, for being one of the worst espionage agents of all time.
We did not obliterate Iran's desire to have a nuclear weapon.
The regime hadn't changed at all.
They still want to kill all the Jews, consider America the great Satan, and purify Islam.
Are they regenerating their nuclear capability?
Are they building more ballistic missiles that could hurt Europe and Israel?
I don't know, but there's evidence that suggests they are.
I would recommend if there's credible evidence that Iran is going back into the enrichment business at other sites, that they're trying to build more ballistic missiles to terrorize Israel and maybe Europe, that we hit them before they can do that.
The one thing I've learned about radical Islam, the only language it understands is force.
So I am hopeful we can put Hamas on a time clock.
The trend lines in Lebanon are, quite frankly, optimistic.
The Lebanese government has decided to call for Hezbollah to disarm.
If Hezbollah gave up their heavy weapons, that would be a godsend for Lebanon and the region.
If Hezbollah refuses to give up their heavy weapons, down the road, we should engage in military operations working with Lebanon, Israel, and the United States, where we fly with Israel like we did with Iran to take Hezbollah out.
Once you take Hamas and Hezbollah off the table, two proxies of Iran, the likelihood of a Saudi-Israel deal goes up dramatically.
I think Lebanon would be a good candidate to expand to Abraham Agords once Hezbollah is dealt with.
So Hezbollah either voluntarily gives up their heavy weapons or we have to come up with a military campaign to achieve that goal.
And they always say state sponsor of terrorism, state sponsor of terrorism, state sponsor of terrorism.
They don't like Iran because Iran funds the Sunni or the Shia military groups that fight against the Sunni ones that we create and fund, the Wahhabi, the Hunter Selfie, and the others, right?
So once you understand that, it's all a very simple calculation.
But the American public, and this is the problem, this is why media like this is good.
Like educating people is so important because the vast majority of people, they could name Gorlock, but they couldn't name Al-Shara or Al-Julani, and they just wouldn't have that connection, right?
And we live in a low-propensity environment where the people are designed to be dumbed down and stupid, right?
It is a deliberate and direct inversion of the truth because in Lebanon in particular, the Sunnis are trying to take it over.
They are the radicals.
So there was a couple of years ago a thing where they always have three of their main most important political positions.
One's a Sunni, one's a Shia, one's a Christian.
Well, a few years ago, the Sunni guy who's from Saudi Arabia, the fact that he's Sunni means he's taking direction directly from the Imams in Saudi Arabia.
He went to Saudi Arabia and they kidnapped him to try to get him to declare a caliphate and start a civil war in Lebanon, and he refused to do it.
So Hezbollah is Shia.
They actually are probably the only reason ISIS didn't take over Syria 10 years ago.
If Hezbollah gets taken out, that's the biggest barrier to a Sunni takeover of Lebanon.
If you want Lebanon in the hands of Muslim extremists, take out Hezbollah.
And I've heard Douglas McGregor, Colonel Douglas McGregor say this.
I've heard Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson say this.
I've heard Larry Johnson, who was in the CIA, say this.
We don't want any secular governments in that region, and that's our policy.
So if you have a government like Lebanon, however imperfect that it is, where you have Christians, Muslims, and then the other Muslims working together in kind of an equal balance, we look at that and we go, we can't exploit or break these people up easily.
We have to go in there and make sure they don't have any weapons.
Because even if a state exists like that and it's totally peaceful, just it not being under the control of the empire is enough for the empire to want it.
It doesn't even have to do anything to the empire.
And that's why ultimately we fight these wars not out of necessity, but out of greed, out of wanting other people's space and stuff.
Well, look at Ukraine.
Look at the march of NATO just getting further, further, further, further.
It's just, it's all, it's a complete, I won't use the expletive, but it's a crap screen.
It starts with an S.
I like to use that expression.
And when you look at it, look, I'm a big fan of the Alex Jones show.
I watch most of them.
And I caught the episode months back with Ivan Ranklin talking about this.
And he goes, look, I understand the situation.
I know where their bases are there.
If I was involved in that situation, like we would have metal going out of the, out of the helicopter, like we would be shooting people within 10 minutes, right?
To talk about the country that has the most surveilled border on earth and like some of the most advanced military capabilities on earth.
And it's like, oh, well, for eight hours or however long it was, people on paragliders just came to a music festival and mowed people down.
And the only people you have actually resisting or fighting back are off-duty or retired, like IDF or military police people who live in the area.
And those are the people that get murdered in the, what's the, it's not the Samson option.
I'm tired of the thing where we go, the worst thing in the world happened.
And then therefore, because the worst thing in the world happened, that gives the victims of the event the right to do literally whatever they want in the world without impunity, without question, without regret.
I mean, small-scale sample, look at what happened to us, right?
That would be a great example.
And I won't even get into that further because they have so much power, right?
But like that, that is the truth.
When you have a good enough narrative, we'll put it that way.
When you have a good enough narrative, nothing can really stand against it because on a baseline, primal, kind of like low IQ level, people will go, this seems like the right thing to be empathetic with.
Therefore, I support it and I'll give it credence to do whatever it wants.
You can talk about the event, you can talk about a thousand people plus die.
You go, that's horrible.
Like October 7th, very bad.
But these things happening, they don't just happen in a vacuum.
It happens so the state could have more political and military control.
And so BB could stay in office.
And he's been under investigation for years predating this, right?
So when you look at the correlation of forces, as the Russians would say, it's like a very clear picture of what's going on here.
And of course, that goes into things like the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism that they're imposing on governments around the world because that is the one that basically says because the Holocaust happened, any criticism of Israel.
That's interesting to me because the contradiction in the law, let's just ignore the concept of free speech because they don't believe in that anyway.
But these countries, these democracies or whatever, these liberal democracies, they do claim to stand on the racial equity or just like the DEI stuff, right?
They want to protect people's rights and let people have equality, whatever that means.
But essentially with this, I assume a Jewish person would still be able to criticize the state of Israel, right?
Because they have staken it or they live there.
But an ordinary citizen, a Goyam, perhaps, would not have the same rights as that person.
So I would say subtracting the free speech stuff from it entirely, that's racist.
It's a racist law.
And therefore, if you claim to be one of these like pride flag waving like European or oceanic states like Australia or New Zealand, you can't adopt this law because you're in violation of however messed up they are, your own values, right?
So it's hypocritical on that level.
And it goes to show that like that's what's in charge.
But then on top of that, you've got the people of Australia booing the crap out of their prime minister.
So it's like even the excuses that they make that, oh, this is a democracy.
It's like, well, most of the people are against what you're doing, but you're doing it anyway.
I mean, the whole thing is absurd.
I got so many videos.
Like, it is crazy what's happening in Australia right now.
I guess let's just start with clip number 31 here.
This is the Australia police chief announcing a crackdown on hate speech following the attack on Bondi Beach.
Now, again, they have had a problem in Australia with white people not wanting to be eradicated from the face of the earth.
It's a real issue for them as they are systematically trying to do just that.
You've got white people saying, hey, we don't like this.
We don't like being replaced in our own homeland.
We don't like being subject to endless, you know, completely legal and illegal immigration that's swamping us.
Now, if the white people in Australia had been listened to that were saying that, then the immigrant that killed all the people wouldn't have ever gotten here.
But instead of actually giving the giving credence to what the white anti-immigration is, people are saying, those are the people that are being attacked again.
It's just and the reason why it's important to say that is because it is because if you say that in Australia, you get arrested.
Right.
And here.
And people go, that's mean.
That's not a nice thing to say.
You're saying mean things that upset me.
Well, we're allowed to say those things here because we have the First Amendment.
These people don't.
So we're literally, we're speaking out on their behalf for them as people that are being replaced and are being attacked, right, by their own government.
And we want to push COVID away.
We want to look at that time period and just kind of ignore it.
The Australian people, I mean, the videos that I saw that came out of Australia during COVID with the literal forced injection of children as like the mothers being taken away in like an emergency room.
Essentially, the National Security Investigations teams are a flying squad of hate disruptors who focus on high harm, high impact, politically motivated violence, communal violence, and hate crimes that don't meet the threshold for terrorism investigations, but that we know drive fear and division.
This is all about stopping hate and division earlier and well before it leads to violence.
So far, this crack squad has charged 14 individuals across 13 investigations.
And of those, four individuals across four operations were charged for offences relating to anti-Semitism.
The announcement today to boost the numbers of our hate disruptors as well as planned changes to lower the threshold for hate speech will make it easier for the AFP to take action quicker.
It could be the difference between us just knocking on a door to warn an individual to an individual being placed in handcuffs.
Translation.
If you criticize the government, we will arrest you.
If you want to protect your country, we will arrest you.
If you step outside the approved narrative, we will arrest you.
This is Australia.
And it is rapidly becoming the United Kingdom, where 30 to 40 people a day are arrested for speech, for praying.
Not criminals, not violent offenders, ordinary citizens.
A Western democracy now worse than Russia when it comes to free expression.
This is not normal.
This is not safety.
This is control.
Australia, wake up.
Because if we stay silent now, this will be remembered as the darkest moments in our history.
And you look at people like this, it's like, I don't know, it's like a dog living in like a pen its whole life and never running around or seeing the grass.
Or a cow, I guess, would be a better example, how the European population gets treated.
Because like they don't even know what they're missing.
They have no idea.
They live in an atmosphere where to criticize the government, to criticize anyone, really, except for people that look like themselves is an offense that could land you years in jail.
You could lose everything beyond even your reputation.
You know, having that be destroyed in the community.
Imagine a community of people shunning you and not like doing business with you or family members leaving you just because you said something against the government online.
That's the kind of culture they've been able to build.
And if we don't stand against that, we're going to fall for the same thing.
And finally, on listing prohibited hate organizations.
I've spoken before about my disgust for a very long time at organizations like Hizbut Tahrir and the Nationalist Socialist Network, otherwise known as the neo-Nazis.
These organizations for a long time have been able to take hate right to the threshold without using the words violence and escape any further terrorist listing.
We will be establishing a new form of listing for those who do not meet the terrorist organizations of being able to prescribe organizations.
I'm asking my department as the drafting is done to check it against previous behavior of Hizbut Tahrir and the National Socialist Network.
Their behavior needs to be unacceptable.
Their behavior needs to be unlawful.
Their behavior needs to be enough that we can prescribe the organization and prohibit their activity in Australia.
They're saying, like, yeah, just because they don't actually commit crime, just because they don't actually commit terrorism, doesn't mean we shouldn't treat them like they do.
You have a moderate population that just wants to be left alone, just wants to have civil rights.
And you have this revenge of the nerds scenario where these people take power and they implement their authoritarian project.
But these people are so weak and so inept that inevitably, when the true strongman leader comes that'll truly lead the society in a real authoritarian and bad direction, that guy will take over so easily from them and will have the support of the people because of all the abuse that they endured.
And that's how you end up with the one-man government.
And that's just the future that I see.
And people talk about it and they go, like, why are you against these things?
You're just against these governments and against the way they function.
And just like, this is the brave new world that we're all going to live in.
That is also the problem, but I don't want to live in Mad Max.
And that's where all this leads to eventually is a Mad Max scenario because people are just going to say, and Puentez makes this point beautifully.
They're going to say, I'm done voting.
I don't care.
Take my rights away.
I just want to see these people, this ruling establishment that wasted what we had like in the ground, metaphysically speaking, right?
Like, that's the argument that I would make.
And that's why it's so sick.
And that's why that adage and adages are stupid sometimes and can be annoying, but the weak men making hard times, that is who these governments are.
There was no word about the death camps when we went to war with the Hitler.
We went to war against Hitler because he had a totalitarian regime that was anathema to the freedom and liberties that had been won over a thousand years by Western Europe.
And we saw that system being destroyed completely.
Now it's being destroyed again in the name of anti-Nazism.
So, you know, I always point out that you get these stories of people like wearing a swastika armband and they're like attacked and assaulted and their clothes are ripped off.
And it's like people are like, yeah, they deserve it.
And it's like they're literally treated worse than that.
I mean, look, but for the swastika, it's like even crazier because it's like the reason you're supposed to think the swastika is evil is because it represents this totalitarian, this lack of, you know, it's like the type of place where somebody gets beaten up for having a different set of view, you know, a different point of view.
So it's like, okay, now you are doing the thing that the swastika represents because you hate those swastika.
These people are, they're just, they're just not that smart.
They're really not that smart.
And that's all.
And that's the thing is like, is the collective population in the West so bonehead stupid that we can't like elect or like be civilly disobedient and get these people out?
Like seriously, especially these European countries, these people, like, I don't understand how 75% of all wars can ever be fought in this one area.
And then you just like, you just submit to the government.
I guess you're used to having the kings and queens, but like just do something about it, obviously, in a correct and moral way, but do something about what's being done to you, right?
No, although they are still at war with the EU right now.
No, I've got the Australian prime minister saying they're going to stamp out anti-Semitism in the country.
I've got the Premier of New South Wales saying we don't have the same freedom of speech laws they have in the U.S.
The Victorian Premier will push legislation for stronger hate speech laws.
So as they push this in every level of the government from every angle, even though it is literally an inversion of what actually happened, where the people who slaughtered 16 innocent people on Bondi Beach are being rewarded as their enemies are ruthlessly shut down.
And all of this is done under the excuse of democracy.
Meanwhile, this is an amazing video.
Clip 34.
This is Australian Prime Minister Albanese being heckled and booed as he makes his way to a memorial for Bondi Beach.
This is what the Australian people think.
Let's watch to this event and you can just you can hear people sort of on the edge screaming and you can kind of see that security is handling people.
And like, I imagine you show up, you're in charge, you're the government.
You're like, it's my job to rule over these people and tell them what's what.
And then they're actually protesting and yelling at you and booing you and calling you out.
I mean, like, he's not, he wasn't expecting this, you know, because in his mind, he's so stupid, he doesn't realize he's done anything wrong.
And this is what I say about these people being morons is they're not smart.
And we, it's like people have a British accent and then Americans will ascribe like an extra 10 IQ points to them or just however they talk right, basically if they're articulate.
It's the same way just with lay people and then the political class.
And you look at these people, they're the same, if not worse than you.
I think that President Trump being surprised that he battled his way through and that the assassination attempt failed and that he made it back to being president.
And I think the men in the dark suits, as Putin describes, I think they came in and said, look, we will let you be the head of the new Republican Project.
We will allow this.
You have full signage from us to do this, and you can remake the party in your own image.
But in exchange, it's a big club, and we can't have you destroying it all completely.
And what he's talking about there, everyone being friends, everyone was friends.
Everyone knew this guy.
But the government now wants to tell us that he didn't exist after the current government campaigned on releasing this information.
I just, that's my thesis on Trump.
This is what I talk about.
I know I disagree with other people, other people here, but that's just how I see it is, hey, he's told you get to do some good things, you get to implement your agenda, but there are things that we don't touch, Harrison.
There are things that we don't, you don't scratch the wall.
Literally, the victims, like the victims would be asked, they wouldn't be asked, did Bill Clinton do this?
They would say, next to Jeffrey Epstein, who should we talk to about this operation?
And apropos of nothing, they would say Bill Clinton.
Bill Clinton was the guy.
Multiple of them.
And I've heard, you know, the person who witnessed it, one of the victims that was on with me with Alex Stein say Bill Clinton introduced Jeffrey Epstein to her as the, quote, king of America.
