=== Trump Campaign AI Narrative (04:36) ===

[00:00:00]  And gentlemen, it is Monday, March 9th, 2026.
[00:00:04]  Here's what's coming up on the Owen Report today.
[00:00:18]  Well, it was another wild weekend in the not a war, certainly not a regime change war for Israel, war in Iran.
[00:00:29]  We got a lot of developments there, and it seems we're kind of into this news cycle where you either believe the mainstream news narrative or you don't.
[00:00:38]  But most of this is happening in the Trump support base more than anything else.
[00:00:46]  So we'll explain that, but we have to.
[00:00:49]  We have to go back because this is what it's all about.
[00:00:52]  We have to go back and listen to what Trump said on the campaign.
[00:00:57]  So we are going to do that again.
[00:00:59]  We're not going to let this thing go and sit here and be gaslit and told that this isn't promises broken.
[00:01:06]  This is absolutely promises broken.
[00:01:10]  Absolutely.
[00:01:13]  And I was actually on a panel on Piers Morgan earlier today with Carolina Sunshine and Will Chamberlain.
[00:01:22]  And I'd never spoken to either one before.
[00:01:24]  And then afterwards, Carolina reached out and it was like, yeah, this is what we're doing to neocons now.
[00:01:30]  We don't like the neocons.
[00:01:32]  We thought we defeated the neocons in 2016.
[00:01:35]  We thought, as Trump said on the campaign, we were removing them from the party.
[00:01:39]  And now here we are dealing with them again.
[00:01:42]  And that's what this is.
[00:01:45]  And you can watch the exact same propaganda play out.
[00:01:48]  So we're going to look at that.
[00:01:49]  We're going to look at some of the recent commentary from over the weekend from the American media as well.
[00:01:54]  You can see where they're trying to drag Trump into this even further.
[00:01:58]  They're trying to yank him along.
[00:02:01]  And then because of something Tucker Carlson said this weekend, which we kind of already suspected was the case, how they were basically doing this intense gatekeeping campaign on President Trump himself so that he couldn't even really see what was going on.
[00:02:20]  And so that's why they keep putting their propaganda agents on Fox News because that's what Trump sees.
[00:02:28]  And then they try to control the media coming in and out so that he doesn't hear what's really going on.
[00:02:33]  So Carlson kind of unveiled a little bit of that this weekend, but it shows when you see somebody panicking like Mark Levin or Netanyahu, when they can't control the information that Trump is getting or they don't have a gatekeeping process or an active response right there in the moment, they freak out.
[00:02:52]  This is how they're controlling Trump.
[00:02:54]  The only question is, how deep does it go?
[00:02:56]  Is it the entire deep state engaging on this or is it mostly just in the foreign policy realm?
[00:03:02]  So that's the question.
[00:03:04]  But we're going to look at all of that with all the details from over the weekend.
[00:03:08]  The war has expanded.
[00:03:11]  I mean, I guess it was never, it was never just in Iran, but it is starting to get the larger geopolitical picture shaping up.
[00:03:20]  It's exactly as we predicted it here.
[00:03:23]  Most other people in the media are missing it.
[00:03:25]  And of course they are when they're watching the mainstream media, when they're watching Fox News, they're not understanding what's really going on.
[00:03:31]  So I ran into a little bit of that today in the debate panel as well.
[00:03:35]  They really think all the Gulf nation states are with us.
[00:03:38]  They really think all of Europe is with us.
[00:03:40]  And they're trying to drive that narrative home.
[00:03:42]  They tried to preempt that narrative before the strikes.
[00:03:46]  Now they're trying to drive it home.
[00:03:48]  It doesn't exist.
[00:03:49]  It simply doesn't exist.
[00:03:51]  And then some other odd actions taken by the Trump administration and then the Trump family today.
[00:03:56]  I think we're going to get deeper into this AI story that we kind of avoided last week just because there was so much war news.
[00:04:04]  But this AI story, I think, is very important.
[00:04:08]  And when you think about the implications of artificial intelligence, the energy it's going to need, the surveillance, the whole thing, the government, the justice system, war, it really is a, it might be a bigger story than the Iran war.
[00:04:24]  If the Iran war goes nuclear or, you know, something like that, then okay.
[00:04:28]  But this AI story is serious.
[00:04:30]  They are now, multiple different AI agents are coming out and saying, we don't even know what's really going on with this stuff.

=== AI Story Bigger Than War (17:36) ===

[00:04:36]  We don't even know.
[00:04:38]  We don't even know if we can control it.
[00:04:40]  We don't even know if we are controlling it.
[00:04:43]  And they're trying to raise the alarm and they're penning these letters.
[00:04:46]  They're leaving these jobs.
[00:04:47]  And nobody's picking it up, by the way.
[00:04:50]  Nobody is picking it up.
[00:04:52]  Speaking of nobody picking it up, there was a big stolen election move in Arizona that nobody really cared about.
[00:05:00]  This news update was brought to you by OwenStroyer.store, the official site for Owen Report merchandise.
[00:05:07]  All right, we got a story in the news today.
[00:05:11]  I'm not going to give it away now.
[00:05:12]  I want to do a deep radio tease, but we got a story in the news today, actually, multiple stories talking about how people are panicking right now.
[00:05:19]  They're panicking when it comes to the emergency preparedness market.
[00:05:24]  It's a good way to put it.
[00:05:26]  The elites, the rich, the politically connected, it's a big story.
[00:05:30]  We got a couple of them in the news today.
[00:05:32]  They are panicked and are heavily investing in emergency preparedness.
[00:05:38]  All right.
[00:05:39]  Well, how much can you really do up there?

[00:06:55]  On the cutting edge of news and analysis, the Owen Report with Owen Schroeder.
[00:07:51]  All right, how was everybody's weekend, huh?
[00:07:55]  Did you have any not fights with your family?
[00:07:59]  Did you have any not fights with your wife, your spouse over the weekend, your husband?
[00:08:03]  It's not a fight, babe.
[00:08:07]  Imagine that logic.
[00:08:09]  Wouldn't that be fun?
[00:08:10]  Imagine that logic.
[00:08:13]  That's not a car accident.
[00:08:15]  Sir, you totaled my car, smashed into it at an intersection.
[00:08:20]  It's not a car accident.
[00:08:23]  It's not a war.
[00:08:25]  It's not a war.
[00:08:26]  Of course, it is a war, and that's ridiculous propaganda.
[00:08:29]  And we all know why.
[00:08:32]  And of course, they have to lie about it because they didn't get congressional approval.
[00:08:36]  They know it's not popular.
[00:08:38]  And the big talking point in defense of it now is, well, it gives us a strategic advantage.
[00:08:45]  Okay, well, you can understand that, but we still have laws.
[00:08:48]  We still have laws.
[00:08:49]  We still have checks and balances.
[00:08:51]  We still have a constitution, but they just tell Trump, hey, this doesn't matter.
[00:08:56]  It's defunct.
[00:08:59]  Nobody cares.
[00:09:02]  And Obama did it, so you can do it too.
[00:09:06]  Well, you can debate.
[00:09:08]  You can debate whether or not you support the war in Iran.
[00:09:14]  It's good, it's bad.
[00:09:15]  Plenty of debate there.
[00:09:16]  Obviously, it's been a debate for decades.
[00:09:20]  The Middle East, Israel, this debate's been going on for decades.
[00:09:26]  But here's what is not up for debate: it is 100% broken promises.
[00:09:34]  100%.
[00:09:36]  That is not up for debate.
[00:09:38]  And I've noticed, and I think this is fair, and I don't like to generalize, but I think we can all see it.
[00:09:44]  It got a little clearer for me, some conversations I had at the end of last week, this weekend.
[00:09:51]  It does seem that we are in a generational ideological separation here, specifically on the foreign policy issue.
[00:10:03]  It seems as though the age group of 50 and above likes Trump's foreign policy, or they're not disoriented by the war in Iran, or they like it.
[00:10:15]  Maybe they're neutral, but 50 and above, it seems that most are in support of this current foreign policy in the Middle East.
[00:10:23]  And I would say 40 and below, most are, they disapprove of it.
[00:10:28]  Most 40 and below disapprove of the current foreign policy in the Middle East.
[00:10:32]  And then I'd say the 40 to 50 age range is kind of split.
[00:10:36]  Maybe not too emotional about it either way.
[00:10:38]  Maybe some like it, maybe some don't, but seems to be split.
[00:10:41]  That's my experience.
[00:10:43]  I'm not saying that's a blanket statement, obviously.
[00:10:47]  I'm not saying that at all.
[00:10:49]  But I'm saying it does seem to be, there does seem to be a consistent generational breakdown here.
[00:10:54]  And maybe that has to do with where these people are getting their news sources from, or if they're just watching Fox all day, what have you, that probably plays into it as well.
[00:11:06]  But there's no doubt, there's no doubt that there is a generational issue when it comes to who supports and who doesn't this new war in the Middle East.
[00:11:17]  So whatever.
[00:11:18]  The debate will go on.
[00:11:19]  It is 100% broken promises.
[00:11:21]  Now, we're going to review this again today.
[00:11:25]  I've got a clip from Trump again, 2016 campaign, and then we got a clip from the 2024 campaign.
[00:11:32]  This is 100% broken promises.
[00:11:35]  So you want to argue about the war in Iran, good or bad.
[00:11:39]  You want to have that debate.
[00:11:41]  Have that debate.
[00:11:43]  Don't gaslight us and tell us that this was part of the campaign.
[00:11:48]  Don't gaslight us, the very large group, maybe majority, maybe not.
[00:11:53]  I don't know.
[00:11:54]  Probably not the majority, but a very large contingent, I'd say at least 30%.
[00:11:59]  Don't tell us, the anti-war Trump coalition, don't tell us that this isn't broken promises.
[00:12:09]  And don't tell us that our vote doesn't matter now that you're begging for it again.
[00:12:14]  Don't tell us that.
[00:12:18]  And don't sit here and tell us that, oh, doing more of this is popular.
[00:12:22]  And so therefore, we just need to vote with what you guys say because you just tell us it's popular.
[00:12:29]  But of course, our vote doesn't matter even though you need it.
[00:12:32]  So don't gaslight us.
[00:12:34]  And I saw this happening over the weekend.
[00:12:36]  And now it makes sense too.
[00:12:38]  See, once you understand how they control what Trump sees and thinks, a lot more starts to make sense.
[00:12:45]  Why would they give Mark Levin more airtime?
[00:12:49]  Why would they do something like this?
[00:12:51]  Because this is who they're giving Trump.
[00:12:54]  They're saying, look at what Levin says.
[00:12:56]  Look here.
[00:12:57]  Look here.
[00:12:58]  Here it is.
[00:13:02]  So that's how they do this.
[00:13:04]  Levin is just one example.
[00:13:06]  And I've got some other statements from him, but he's saying this.
[00:13:09]  He's saying, if we want to win the midterms, we need more of this foreign policy.
[00:13:18]  We need to destroy Candace Owens.
[00:13:21]  We need to destroy Tucker Carlson.
[00:13:25]  They must be destroyed.
[00:13:30]  We can't have people in our movement that think differently than Mark Levin.
[00:13:36]  This is my Mark Levin radio voice.
[00:13:40]  You can't have these reprobates, these retrobrites.
[00:13:45]  You can't have them in this movement.
[00:13:47]  Everybody must think like me.
[00:13:50]  Oh, you mean like you, that was a never Trumper.
[00:13:54]  In other words, we would never even have Trump as president if we all thought like you did.
[00:14:01]  But I digress.
[00:14:04]  Because we're entering this weird phase and it's not going to be fun.
[00:14:07]  It's not going to be good for the country.
[00:14:09]  You're already seeing it.
[00:14:11]  People are coming out saying, oh, well, I'm going to vote with Democrats.
[00:14:15]  People are coming out saying the Republican Party needs to be punished for this betrayal, for these broken promises.
[00:14:22]  I'm not standing in those people's way.
[00:14:24]  I don't think I could ever vote for a Democrat.
[00:14:27]  But I certainly understand the thought process.
[00:14:30]  I certainly understand the sentiment of saying, yeah, I'm not going to vote for this GOP right now.
[00:14:34]  I'm not going to vote for anything that's going to prop up Trump right now after the broken promises and the betrayal and the war and everything else.
[00:14:44]  But because of that, Because that's the phase we're entering now.
[00:14:51]  This has become a lame duck presidency early.
[00:14:56]  And because of Trump and his ego and the gatekeeping, we could reach this time where he just says, well, then F them all if we haven't already entered that phase.
[00:15:06]  And he's just going to, well, he's just going to say, F them all.
[00:15:08]  I don't care.
[00:15:09]  I don't care.
[00:15:10]  I'm doing whatever I want.
[00:15:12]  I don't care about the negative feedback.
[00:15:15]  I'm only seeing good polls anyway.
[00:15:17]  I'm only seeing the positive feedback.
[00:15:18]  I'm only seeing Fox News.
[00:15:20]  So it's almost like it's not even really getting to him.
[00:15:26]  But no, you're starting to see this new, this new break of young voters, young Trump voters saying, screw this.
[00:15:36]  I voted against the establishment.
[00:15:39]  I'm not getting it.
[00:15:41]  And then you're going to have Trump as the new establishment saying, well, screw you.
[00:15:45]  I'm in power.
[00:15:47]  So I'll do what I want.
[00:15:49]  Midterms be damned.
[00:15:51]  Now, we do have some midterm information here, but let's do this because I'm kind of just roaming.
[00:15:57]  I'm just roaming the airways right now.
[00:15:59]  Let's try to get things back in the saddle.
[00:16:04]  You know, this is what's so crazy about it.
[00:16:08]  This is what's so crazy about it.
[00:16:10]  And we are still in, we're still in this new osmosis phase of the new media.
[00:16:20]  We're not fully into it yet, in that the corporate media still has its role and it's it's not a minor role, like there's no doubt.
[00:16:29]  You, you look at the general timeline, you look at the trend and everything you know it's already been marked for dead.
[00:16:36]  The corporate news media, the mainstream media.
[00:16:38]  It's already been marked for dead but it's like it's still alive and it still has its purpose.
[00:16:44]  So, even though we can all see where it's going, eventually it's still alive, it still serves a purpose.
[00:16:49]  So, so there it is, but you can clearly see you, this new independent media, whether it's left, whether it's right middle independent, just trolling.
[00:17:01]  There's this new ability to destroy narratives in real time.
[00:17:07]  There's this new ability to to locate, Locate and pinpoint and then expose propaganda in real time.
[00:17:16]  So, when it was all anti-Trump, and I couldn't even put all of this in the show today because we were going to run out of time, but like there's all the clips, I'm sure you've seen them.
[00:17:27]  All the same stuff that they said about Iraq during the Bush years.
[00:17:31]  Now they're saying the exact same stuff about Iran.
[00:17:33]  I mean, literally the same script.
[00:17:35]  They just change Iraq, Iran, they just change Hussein, Khamenei.
[00:17:40]  So, it's just literally the same propaganda slop.
[00:17:43]  They don't even bother, they're so lazy, they don't even bother changing the script.
[00:17:46]  They just like put it in like a mad lib.
[00:17:50]  And so, we can sit here and we can play that clip from 2003, all the compilations, same stuff, 2003, and then we play the exact same clip from 2026, just with Iran and Khamenei instead of Iraq and Saddam.
[00:18:04]  And so, you can sit here, you can do that now.
[00:18:08]  But if you don't see it, it doesn't really impact you.
[00:18:12]  So, you have to see it.
[00:18:13]  So, there's where the corporate news media, there's where the mainstream media comes in.
[00:18:17]  So, they still run the corporate propaganda on the mainstream news, but unless you've been able to find some place where you can get alternative news like X, then you don't see how you're just being fed the same line of propaganda.
[00:18:30]  And maybe that's where the age gap comes in.
[00:18:33]  So, I say all this because we all sat here really since 2016.
[00:18:40]  We all sat here and we were able to identify all this propaganda.
[00:18:45]  And it was mostly coming from the left.
[00:18:46]  It was mostly coming from the anti-Trump people.
[00:18:49]  And we could sit there and play the clips of all of them reading off the exact same script.
[00:18:55]  So, as thinking people, as conscious beings, we said, Oh, look at this.
[00:19:02]  They're all reading from the same script.
[00:19:03]  Look at this.
[00:19:04]  This is clearly propaganda.
[00:19:06]  Okay, so now I know that.
[00:19:08]  Now I can, now I can make an informed decision about whatever this issue is, knowing that's outright propaganda.
[00:19:17]  So, we've so now it's been a very smooth transition.
[00:19:21]  It's very, it's a very smooth transition into this new phase where that's all coming from the right now.
[00:19:28]  Now, the right has kind of adapted, they've kind of evolved.
[00:19:33]  That's why you see most of it now online.
[00:19:37]  That's why you see the posts on X where it's again, it's the same script and it's coming out against one person or it's coming out in support of one issue, or it's sharing the same poll.
[00:19:48]  So, you can see that happening on social media.
[00:19:51]  But what about the network news?
[00:19:53]  What about the mainstream news?
[00:19:54]  Are they keeping up there?
[00:19:55]  Do they still have their efforts there?
[00:19:58]  Well, the White House dropped a script.
[00:20:04]  The White House, well, they dropped a couple scripts.
[00:20:06]  They dropped the do not call it a war script, obviously, and uh, don't leave any options off the table.
[00:20:14]  All right, strategically, I suppose you could uh you could understand that, but no, here's their here's their media spin as gas prices are going up all over the country.
[00:20:26]  This is a short-term disruption for the long-term gain, short-term pain for the long-term gain, short-term pain be for long-term gain.
[00:20:34]  We're gonna have some short-term pain with long-term gain, short-term pay for a long-term gain, some short-term pain, yes, but we've got some long-term gain, short-term spike for a long-term gain, some short-term pain for American consumers.
[00:20:49]  We may have to deal with that in the short term, short-term and temporary, temporary, short-term pain is going to suck in the short-term some short-term pain, short-term pain.
[00:20:59]  We have to focus on the short-term, and long-term slip.
[00:21:05]  Hopefully, this is a short-term pain.
[00:21:07]  Short-term is highly outweighed of the long-term benefit.
[00:21:11]  Some short-term pain for the long-term gain.
[00:21:14]  Short-term sacrifice for a long-term gain.
[00:21:18]  This is a short-term disruption for the long-term gain.
[00:21:21]  Wow.
[00:21:24]  Wow.
[00:21:26]  I'll tell you, guy.
[00:21:27]  I mean, that's some good stuff, isn't it?
[00:21:34]  I'm sorry, guys.
[00:21:37]  I'm sorry.
[00:21:39]  I didn't get my script.
[00:21:42]  I didn't get my script, guys.
[00:21:46]  My short-term pain script never came in.
[00:21:50]  So I don't know.
[00:21:52]  I don't know what to say.
[00:21:54]  I'm an empty-brained, a mushmouth corporate news media hack, and I can't say anything without my short-term pain long-term gain script.
[00:22:08]  I don't have the script.
[00:22:11]  News with a script.

=== Shifting Sands and Missing Scripts (09:56) ===

[00:22:12]  How do you like that?
[00:22:13]  News with a script.
[00:22:15]  Unbelievable.
[00:22:19]  So I don't know.
[00:22:22]  I think that the media landscape is still shifting sands, but it's starting to get a little clearer here, isn't it?
[00:22:30]  It's starting to get a little clearer now.
[00:22:33]  And perhaps we won't have solified, we won't have solidified rather.
[00:22:38]  We won't have solidified the new media landscape until we get a little deeper into this war or we get a little closer to midterms.
[00:22:49]  But I mean, you can see it now.
[00:22:51]  It's either you're part of peddling the slop, either you're part of promoting the said script, either you're part of carrying water for this administration, whatever that looks like, or you're still a member of the independent press.
[00:23:08]  You're still a member of the independent media.
[00:23:10]  You're not controlled.
[00:23:11]  You don't have a script.
[00:23:12]  You don't read off a script.
[00:23:13]  You tell it like you see it.
[00:23:14]  You tell it like it is.
[00:23:17]  And it's all kind of, it's all kind of coming clear.
[00:23:21]  Now, there are always going to be people that are caught in between.
[00:23:26]  There are always going to be people that, as the shifting sands move islands, separate one island, turn them into two, other islands totally disappear.
[00:23:38]  There will be people that get caught in between.
[00:23:41]  They get stuck in that water and can't decide where they want to go.
[00:23:44]  They want to see, they want to see which way the wind blows.
[00:23:48]  They want to see where it's going to be more comfortable for them.
[00:23:50]  And so, oh, you know, they're kind of flirting with the, do I go over to the just the pro-Trump island over here and just carry that water?
[00:23:57]  Or do I go over here to the independent media over here and I'm not beholden to any agenda or administration?
[00:24:03]  And I could go over there, but I don't know where, what's more comfortable for me?
[00:24:06]  What's better for me?
[00:24:07]  I don't know.
[00:24:08]  I don't know.
[00:24:09]  So you kind of, now you kind of get to see who those people are too.
[00:24:14]  Now you kind of, now, now you get a little idea of where those people are at.
[00:24:20]  But hey, let's just go right to Trump, shall we?
[00:24:26]  This is from August 5th of 2024.
[00:24:30]  So Biden's still in office here, Biden Harris.
[00:24:32]  Stock markets are crashing.
[00:24:34]  Jobs numbers are terrible.
[00:24:36]  We are heading toward World War III, and we have two of the most incompetent leaders in history.
[00:24:41]  This is not good.
[00:24:44]  Ooh.
[00:24:47]  Wow.
[00:24:48]  I guess you could say the same about March 9th, 2026, there, couldn't you?
[00:24:55]  But many of you might disagree as far as the two leaders we have in control.
[00:24:59]  Stock markets are crashing.
[00:25:01]  Jobs numbers are terrible.
[00:25:02]  Are we heading towards World War III?
[00:25:04]  Let's hope not.
[00:25:07]  But I don't think there's been this much tensity as far as war is concerned.
[00:25:16]  I don't know.
[00:25:17]  I don't know if there was ever this much tensity in the Biden administration or even the previous Trump administration than what we're dealing with right now.
[00:25:25]  I don't know.
[00:25:27]  Maybe the Afghanistan situation with Biden, but we've got seven dead soldiers now that we know of that we know of.
[00:25:40]  And so this was the dignified transfer.
[00:25:41]  And I don't even want, you know, I was going to get into this over the weekend.
[00:25:44]  I didn't do it.
[00:25:45]  This is the dignified transfer.
[00:25:48]  And I don't know.
[00:25:51]  I'm like, do we like Trump wearing the hat or not?
[00:25:54]  I saw it immediately and I was like, why is he wearing his own hat?
[00:25:57]  Like, why is he wearing his own product there?
[00:26:00]  Is this a sales thing?
[00:26:02]  Is this another cue thing?
[00:26:04]  The white hats are in control.
[00:26:05]  So he's wearing a white hat.
[00:26:07]  Is it just a bad hair day?
[00:26:09]  I mean, what is going on?
[00:26:10]  I don't know.
[00:26:10]  Do we like the hat or not?
[00:26:12]  Is it a big issue?
[00:26:13]  Is it not?
[00:26:13]  People were talking about it.
[00:26:16]  To me, the issue is that, well, it was six soldiers that came in this exchange, but there will be more.
[00:26:26]  I didn't do this because you just don't want to touch this one except just, you know, feed it to you straight.
[00:26:34]  So I didn't go there this weekend, but, you know, there was a big, there was a big issue.
[00:26:40]  There was this, there was this huge ordeal because somebody put up an AI video of a kid crying on a casket, bringing home a dead soldier.
[00:26:52]  And it was obviously AI, but I just shared it, you know, saying like, you know, this is what we're going to get.
[00:26:58]  People are, oh, that's AI.
[00:26:59]  That's AI.
[00:27:00]  Take it down.
[00:27:00]  I'm like, well, it's obviously AI.
[00:27:02]  The point is that this is what we're going to get.
[00:27:04]  So I was going to say in response to all those people that attacked me, I'm like, hey, this isn't AI.
[00:27:10]  What are you going to say now?
[00:27:11]  This isn't AI.
[00:27:13]  These are the dead Americans coming home from this war that you support.
[00:27:16]  This isn't AI.
[00:27:16]  What do you say now?
[00:27:18]  And I didn't want to do that over the weekend.
[00:27:22]  I didn't want to do that in response, especially on X, where it's just so toxic over there now when you just do basic news coverage or commentary.
[00:27:31]  But yeah, it's not AI anymore.
[00:27:33]  That's actually happening now, and it's only going to get worse.
[00:27:37]  I don't know if the official, well, the official number is seven.
[00:27:40]  Who knows?
[00:27:43]  Who knows what the real number is?
[00:27:44]  There are all kinds of reports, all kinds of rumors.
[00:27:49]  We won't get into that, but who knows what the real numbers are?
[00:27:54]  And they keep saying, prepare for more casualties.
[00:27:56]  There'll be more casualties.
[00:27:57]  Is that because they already know the number is bigger, or is that because they know this war is going to go on for a lot longer?
[00:28:04]  It's not good either way.
[00:28:05]  But we go back to Trump.
[00:28:09]  We go back to Trump.
[00:28:13]  This is what we voted for.
[00:28:16]  Campaign trail, 2023, CPAC.
[00:28:20]  We are never going back to a party that wants to give unlimited money to fight foreign wars that are endless wars that are stupid.
[00:28:29]  We are never going back to a party that wants to give unlimited money to fight foreign wars that are endless wars that are stupid.
[00:28:38]  It seems like we've gone right back to that party now.
[00:28:42]  It seems like that's exactly the party we've now gone back to.
[00:28:47]  And those that defeated that party or thought we defeated that party in 2016, those that thought we defeated that part of the party now were the ones that are being attacked by the very people that were against Trump, the Ben Shapiros, the Mark Levins, the Dana Leshes.
[00:29:06]  They were all against Trump.
[00:29:11]  Oh.
[00:29:14]  Oh.
[00:29:17]  We're not giving it back to the neocons.
[00:29:19]  We're not giving it back.
[00:29:20]  We're not giving the party back to the people who want forever wars with unlimited spending.
[00:29:24]  But now here we are.
[00:29:26]  Is that not back?
[00:29:28]  Is it really not back?
[00:29:31]  And if they say it's not back, what is the threshold?
[00:29:34]  See, this is the answer.
[00:29:35]  These are the questions and the answers that are just not being met with because they can't answer the questions.
[00:29:40]  And I get it strategically, but yet here we are.
[00:29:43]  It's still a fair question.
[00:29:44]  What are the thresholds?
[00:29:47]  What are the thresholds of numbers of dead Americans that you would accept for this war?
[00:29:52]  What is the cost threshold?
[00:29:54]  $100 billion, $200 billion, a trillion?
[00:29:58]  What is the cost threshold?
[00:29:59]  Who's discussing this stuff?
[00:30:02]  What is the days?
[00:30:03]  Is there a time threshold?
[00:30:08]  So it is.
[00:30:09]  It is giving the party back to the neocons, the forever wars with endless budgets and endless dates.
[00:30:16]  It's exactly what that is.
[00:30:19]  So I already have the question.
[00:30:21]  My threshold was zero.
[00:30:24]  My threshold for foreign wars was zero dollars, zero dead soldiers, and zero days.
[00:30:29]  So my threshold has already been crossed.
[00:30:33]  That's my threshold.
[00:30:34]  That's my threshold.
[00:30:35]  That was a lot of other Americans' thresholds.
[00:30:37]  Some might not have that.
[00:30:39]  Some might say, no, you know what?
[00:30:40]  It's okay.
[00:30:43]  Some might say, yeah, you know what?
[00:30:44]  It's okay.
[00:30:45]  We can't have X amount of dead Americans.
[00:30:46]  We can't have X amount of dollars.
[00:30:48]  We can't have X amount of days at war.
[00:30:51]  But let's hear it.
[00:30:52]  Let's hear your thresholds.
[00:30:53]  My thresholds were zero.
[00:30:55]  Mine were crossed.
[00:30:56]  Simple as that.
[00:30:59]  What are the thresholds?
[00:31:05]  So, but why not go back?
[00:31:09]  Because this is what put Trump over the top.
[00:31:13]  This is what really put Trump over the top in 2016 when he called out these wars and stood against these wars on the Republican debate stage.
[00:31:23]  Obviously, the war in Iraq was a big, fat mistake.
[00:31:28]  All right.
[00:31:28]  Now, you can take it any way you want.
[00:31:30]  And it took Jeb Bush, if you remember at the beginning of his announcement, when he announced for president, took him five days.
[00:31:38]  He went back.
[00:31:38]  It was a mistake.
[00:31:39]  It wasn't a mistake.
[00:31:40]  It took him five days before his people told him what to say.
[00:31:44]  And he ultimately said it was a mistake.
[00:31:47]  The war in Iraq, we spent $2 trillion, thousands of lives.
[00:31:51]  We don't even have it.
[00:31:52]  Iran is taking over Iraq with the second largest oil reserves in the world.
[00:31:56]  Obviously, it was a mistake.
[00:31:58]  So, George Bush made a mistake.
[00:32:00]  We can make mistakes, but that one was a beauty.
[00:32:03]  We should have never been in Iraq.
[00:32:05]  We have destabilized the Middle East.

=== Levin Panics Over Neocon Panic (14:29) ===

[00:32:08]  So, you still think he should be in peace?
[00:32:10]  I think it's my turn.
[00:32:11]  You can do whatever you want.
[00:32:12]  You call it whatever you want.
[00:32:13]  I want to tell you, they lied.
[00:32:15]  They said there were weapons of mass destruction.
[00:32:18]  There were none.
[00:32:18]  And they knew there were none.
[00:32:20]  Obviously.
[00:32:21]  That's what did it right there.
[00:32:24]  That's what won Trump the 2016 Republican nomination and election right there.
[00:32:36]  When he was able and willing to call out the military-industrial complex, to call out the corruption right in front of the Republican Party, where most of it existed, as far as the neocons and the military-industrial complex, right there, that's where he won.
[00:32:51]  That's where he won the election.
[00:32:56]  And I think what happens, and maybe I'm being nice, maybe I'm generalizing, but as a student of human psychology, this is how I see it right now.
[00:33:08]  You have a populist movement in this country that is mostly independent.
[00:33:15]  And they go through these election cycles and they have the same realizations, which is no matter who gets into power, you generally get the same result.
[00:33:24]  Now, there might be some different domestic policy issues that kind of get sorted out or not sorted out.
[00:33:31]  And then there might be a little bit of difference as far as the approach to foreign policy is concerned.
[00:33:37]  But generally speaking, you get the same result.
[00:33:40]  You get the same tab, you get the same propaganda, you generally get the same result.
[00:33:45]  So, what happened in 2016?
[00:33:47]  So, you have these neocons that are suffering.
[00:33:49]  They're suffering through eight years of Obama, which was the backlash for eight years of Bush.
[00:33:56]  Obama, who ran and won against George Bush's foreign policies.
[00:34:00]  That's how he was able to win, just like Trump in 2016.
[00:34:03]  That's how Obama won.
[00:34:04]  That's how he beat Hillary Clinton during the primary and then won.
[00:34:11]  So, you have these neocons who really are not popular, and they're becoming a smaller and smaller political group in the United States of America.
[00:34:20]  So, here's what happens: you get Trump that defeats the neocons, and all of these neocons, like Dana Lesh, like Mark Levin, you go back, everybody knows who I'm talking about.
[00:34:33]  They were all never Trumpers.
[00:34:34]  Ben Shapiro, they all wrote the stories, the conservative review, all of it, all anti-Trump, Fox News, all of them trying to stop Trump.
[00:34:44]  So then what happens?
[00:34:46]  They lose.
[00:34:47]  Trump beats them in the primary.
[00:34:50]  We beat them.
[00:34:51]  And then we win the presidency.
[00:34:52]  And so then they think it's all about them.
[00:34:55]  And then they're thinking, oh, wow, look at this.
[00:34:58]  We've got this nice movement here.
[00:35:01]  We've got a little bit of a movement here.
[00:35:03]  We got some populist momentum here.
[00:35:05]  Okay.
[00:35:07]  Okay.
[00:35:08]  So then they kind of roll with that for a second.
[00:35:11]  Then they kind of open some ideas, some big 10 ideas, like, all right, maybe we like a trans person in a Trump hat now.
[00:35:18]  It's like, all right, yeah, okay.
[00:35:20]  Oh, we like Trump waving a gay flag.
[00:35:22]  Okay.
[00:35:23]  It's like, all right.
[00:35:25]  So the neocons, they see this.
[00:35:27]  They see this political block and they're thinking, oh, look at this momentum.
[00:35:31]  Look at this stuff.
[00:35:32]  And then in some process along the way, they think it's them.
[00:35:36]  In some weird, deranged, faulty mindset, they get to this point where they're looking at the Republican success.
[00:35:43]  They're looking at how popular conservative politics are.
[00:35:46]  And they're thinking, this is about me.
[00:35:49]  I did this.
[00:35:51]  Wow.
[00:35:52]  So then in that transformation where their mind thinks it's their ideas that are popular, they take over the party, just like they did with the Tea Party movement.
[00:36:02]  They take over the movement.
[00:36:03]  They take back over the party.
[00:36:05]  They reinject all of their neocon garbage.
[00:36:07]  And then the party dies.
[00:36:09]  It loses all momentum.
[00:36:10]  The populists are out.
[00:36:11]  The independents are out.
[00:36:13]  The non-war people, they're out.
[00:36:15]  And then the neocons look around and they're like, well, what happened?
[00:36:20]  Because you, you guys are not popular.
[00:36:23]  And not only now are you not popular, your demographic size is shrinking.
[00:36:32]  So they're lashing out.
[00:36:35]  They can't understand what happened to this powerful movement.
[00:36:37]  They can't understand how they blew it so badly.
[00:36:42]  And now, because it's so unpopular, and now because they blew it so badly, now their mask has to come off and they have to show you who they really are.
[00:36:52]  So in a way, it's healthy, but hey, short-term pain for long-term gain.
[00:37:00]  That's what they tell you.
[00:37:06]  Two weeks to stop the spread.
[00:37:08]  Huh?
[00:37:09]  Come on, man.
[00:37:10]  Two weeks to stop the spread.
[00:37:14]  Short-term pain for long-term game.
[00:37:18]  Two weeks to stop the spread, guys.
[00:37:23]  And these hypocrites, they're so easy to spot because there's always a post.
[00:37:31]  This is one of those Trump accounts here.
[00:37:35]  2.2 million views on this beauty.
[00:37:38]  I will have no issue paying $1 or more per gas to end 47 years of Iranian regime terror.
[00:37:43]  That's a small contribution to freedom.
[00:37:45]  I'm glad to make it right from the trough.
[00:37:48]  I mean, just slopping it up, just rolling in the slop, spreading the slop.
[00:37:53]  Oh, yeah, slop.
[00:37:54]  Oh, yeah, give me that slop.
[00:37:57]  And of course, our friend over at Nick's Danks meme.
[00:38:00]  There's always a post.
[00:38:02]  Here he was two years ago.
[00:38:05]  I'm telling you right now, when gas prices spike again and the Democrats start war, oh, well, you know, there's a war going on with Iran.
[00:38:11]  Cut them off mid-sentence and state very clearly: quit making war, dipshits.
[00:38:15]  I guess that's you now, Pino Americano, MAGA.
[00:38:20]  His name's MAGA.
[00:38:22]  I guess that's you guys now.
[00:38:24]  So can we cut you guys off mid-sentence and say, quit making war dipshits?
[00:38:32]  I'll tell you.
[00:38:33]  I'll tell you, man, it's a sad thing to witness.
[00:38:37]  I think kind of the dark week of it last week, we got through that.
[00:38:41]  Now we're just, it's always going to be gloomy.
[00:38:45]  It's always going to be sad because we are talking about war.
[00:38:51]  But I mean, it's kind of like now we're through that dark period of the beginning of it.
[00:38:55]  And now we're just looking at all the frauds, looking at all the warmongers, looking at all the liars, looking at all the neocons, looking at all the foreign loyalists, and just saying, look at you.
[00:39:06]  You are a disgusting traitor.
[00:39:10]  You are a political cuck.
[00:39:17]  And it is.
[00:39:18]  It always has been.
[00:39:19]  Black Lives Matter for conservatives.
[00:39:21]  This is their new one.
[00:39:21]  Freedom to Iran.
[00:39:23]  Freedom to Iran.
[00:39:25]  So when you hear that, when you hear freedom to Iran, that's Black Lives Matter.
[00:39:32]  That's right-wing Black Lives Matter.
[00:39:34]  Black Lives Matter.
[00:39:35]  Freedom to Iran.
[00:39:36]  Same slop.
[00:39:39]  Same exact slop.
[00:39:40]  And watch.
[00:39:43]  Watch how much they panic.
[00:39:45]  Watch how much they freak out when you say that to them.
[00:39:48]  It will cause conniption fits.
[00:39:52]  They will start short-circuiting in their NPC brains and they will break down and start shirt.
[00:39:57]  So you're going to have to call a MAGA, a Trump MAGA.
[00:40:01]  Who would it be?
[00:40:02]  Who would you call?
[00:40:02]  When one of these MAGA NPCs short circuits, when you throw a little truth into them, who should we call?
[00:40:09]  Who can come rescue them?
[00:40:11]  Is it Laura Loomer?
[00:40:13]  Is it who with the who can we bring into a little political smelling salts for them?
[00:40:18]  Say, oh, it's okay.
[00:40:19]  Look, oh, the polls are in.
[00:40:21]  MAGA supports Trump.
[00:40:22]  You're like, oh, oh, what?
[00:40:24]  Oh, MAGA, MAGA supports the war.
[00:40:26]  Oh, of course.
[00:40:27]  Right.
[00:40:27]  I'm okay.
[00:40:28]  I'm totally okay.
[00:40:29]  Free Iran.
[00:40:31]  Black Lives Matter.
[00:40:32]  I mean, free Iran.
[00:40:36]  Who can bring them?
[00:40:38]  revive them when their brain short circuits.
[00:40:47]  I bet they're in the chat right now.
[00:40:49]  I bet you they're in the chat right now, just spazzing out, just spewing.
[00:40:58]  Maybe Mark Levin can help him.
[00:41:00]  Mark Levin, the guy with the winning strategy, the never Trumper you can always trust.
[00:41:06]  So I guess there's a big GOP meeting in Florida.
[00:41:09]  So Levin, he's mad.
[00:41:10]  Levin is mad he can't be there.
[00:41:12]  So that's good news.
[00:41:13]  Levin won't be there.
[00:41:16]  Message to the Republicans meeting in Florida for their annual summit.
[00:41:21]  I bet Levin lives in Florida too.
[00:41:23]  I don't know.
[00:41:24]  Maybe.
[00:41:24]  But that'd be even funnier if he's in there and he's in Florida.
[00:41:28]  They don't even invite him.
[00:41:29]  The House GOP is having its annual meeting to discuss future policies and strategies, among other things.
[00:41:35]  If I were speaking to them, thank God you're not, but of course you got to lube up your bald head and squeeze it into the conversation anyway.
[00:41:44]  I would make clear that if they do not address the issue of anti-Americanism, he doesn't care about that, Christian bashing, he doesn't care about that, and anti-Semitism, there it is, and the likes of Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, aha, they will lose the midterm elections.
[00:41:59]  The battle is being waged largely without the participation of the Republican Party, even though it is eating away at the party.
[00:42:07]  So that is hyperbolic right there.
[00:42:11]  Obviously, there are other important issues as well, but their silence on this problem is deafening.
[00:42:16]  This is not going away.
[00:42:17]  It's getting worse.
[00:42:17]  Now, so first of all, this is obviously the opposite advice.
[00:42:23]  If you want to save the midterms, this is the complete opposite.
[00:42:25]  If you want to save the midterms, whatever Mark Levin is telling you to do, I would do the opposite.
[00:42:30]  This is the never Trumper.
[00:42:32]  He was a committed never Trumper.
[00:42:36]  So what changed?
[00:42:37]  Imagine Mark Levin thinking that he and his audience has more influence than Tucker Carlson or Candace Owens in 2026.
[00:42:46]  Mark Levin, whatever audience Mark Levin has, has zero influence over anything because it's the same NPC hive that's going to do whatever they're told.
[00:42:56]  It's the same NPC hive of political cucks that just do what they're told.
[00:43:01]  So he's not moving anything.
[00:43:04]  Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, on the other hand, they have an audience of independent-minded people.
[00:43:10]  They have an audience of people that aren't committed to anything, but are curious and then make up their minds.
[00:43:17]  So the fact that Levin even has to post this tells you that he's panicked because his politics are not popular inside the GOP.
[00:43:27]  And Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are more popular than Mark Levin is at this time in the media landscape and have more influence than Mark Levin at this time in the media landscape.
[00:43:39]  So what is this really all about?
[00:43:40]  It's all about a bad foreign policy.
[00:43:43]  It's all about an unpopular foreign policy that, of course, Mark Levin, as an Israeli loyalist, he likes the foreign policy because it benefits Israel.
[00:43:52]  Whereas somebody like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, who don't have ties to Israel, they don't like the foreign policy because it's not popular and they don't have any loyalty to Israel.
[00:44:01]  It's that simple.
[00:44:05]  It's that simple.
[00:44:06]  But this is what Netanyahu has been panicked about.
[00:44:09]  This is what Mark Levin is now panicked about.
[00:44:12]  They can't stand it if Trump is having conversations about Middle East foreign policy and Netanyahu is not there listening in, trying to manage whatever conversation is being had.
[00:44:25]  This has reached the media dozens of times since Trump has become president, how Netanyahu panics when he doesn't have at least a liaison or a surrogate at the table, if not himself.
[00:44:35]  Now there's Levin.
[00:44:36]  You have GOP strategy meetings happening, and Levin is pissed because he can't be there making sure everybody knows to hate Tucker Carlson and hate Candace Owens.
[00:44:49]  But of course, the irony: these are the same people that said they didn't want our votes.
[00:44:54]  These are the same people telling us how we're not impactful.
[00:44:57]  Nobody cares about us.
[00:44:59]  We have no impact on anything, no influence.
[00:45:01]  And yet here they are panicked, wanting to have entire GOP annual meetings about us because of how scared they are at the potential results in the midterm elections.
[00:45:14]  What do you think is going to happen, Levin?
[00:45:17]  You can't win us back.
[00:45:21]  You can't win us back.
[00:45:22]  And if he doesn't have the president's ear, he goes on Fox News and says this, hoping it'll reach the president.
[00:45:32]  Polling, seriously?
[00:45:34]  Okay, I got a poll for you.
[00:45:36]  The latest poll shows that 92% of MAGA supports the president of the United States.
[00:45:41]  Look at how nervous this, look at how nervous this little man is.
[00:45:46]  He's always nervous.
[00:45:47]  He's always shaking on air.
[00:45:49]  This was the MAGA slop that came out.
[00:45:52]  90% of MAGA supports this war.
[00:45:54]  Okay, well, how are you taking these numbers in?
[00:45:56]  If that number is true, which it doesn't add up in polling data, it actually doesn't add up.
[00:46:02]  The only way that number adds up is if you say you support the war in Iran, MAGA, if you're neocon MAGA, or if you even claim to be MAGA at all.
[00:46:10]  Most people have abandoned MAGA or MAGA has abandoned them.
[00:46:14]  So they don't even identify as MAGA.
[00:46:16]  So if you're taking, if you're saying 92% of people that agree with the foreign policy of the Trump administration agree with this, then that's 92% of MAGA.
[00:46:26]  So that is a rigged poll.
[00:46:28]  All the same digital media influencers posted the same poll over the weekend.
[00:46:32]  Levin took it to Fox News, hoping Trump would see it and say, oh, this is popular.
[00:46:36]  Oh, people like this, huh?

=== MAGA Split and Trump's Gatekeeping (05:00) ===

[00:46:38]  Even though everyone knows it's not.
[00:46:39]  Articles of MAGA split.
[00:46:41]  MAGA's not split.
[00:46:42]  You got a couple nut jobs who are not MAGA.
[00:46:46]  So now MAGA's not split.
[00:46:49]  If MAGA wasn't split, he wouldn't be doing this segment.
[00:46:53]  And then he says, oh, these people weren't MAGA.
[00:46:55]  Those were the people that were MAGA before he was.
[00:46:57]  These are the people that were MAGA.
[00:46:59]  Well, he was never MAGA.
[00:47:02]  This is an unreal thing to witness.
[00:47:03]  Or like neo-fascists out there.
[00:47:06]  Oh, you're a neo-fascist.
[00:47:08]  They have their own little audiences that apparently don't represent anybody.
[00:47:12]  So I wouldn't sweat that media.
[00:47:13]  MAGA's not.
[00:47:14]  Yeah, here he is sweating.
[00:47:15]  Here he is on his show sweating.
[00:47:17]  Here he is on X sweating.
[00:47:18]  He has more blocks.
[00:47:21]  He's blocked more people on X than anyone else on the platform.
[00:47:32]  It's insane.
[00:47:34]  It's insane.
[00:47:37]  So this is what Tucker Carlson got into in his most recent show.
[00:47:44]  I don't want to play the clip.
[00:47:48]  The American conservative is responding here.
[00:47:51]  Tucker Carlson flew to D.C. three times in an attempt to prevent President Trump from going to this war.
[00:47:57]  He's been showing polling that this war is a 90-10 win for him.
[00:48:00]  I said, I don't know where that poll is coming from.
[00:48:02]  He's watching Fox News and he's getting fake polls.
[00:48:04]  So Tucker talks about how he went there.
[00:48:06]  He tried to change Trump's mind.
[00:48:07]  It didn't work.
[00:48:10]  And this is why Levin wants Tucker banned from the White House, because Tucker is one of the few people that can get in there and actually say, hey, Mr. President, actually, this war is not popular.
[00:48:19]  These people are lying to you.
[00:48:21]  So Tucker is one of the last honest people that can actually get to the White House and get to President Trump.
[00:48:26]  And that's why Mark Levin is absolutely panicked about that fact.
[00:48:31]  Mark Levin and the neocons want to be able to lie to President Trump and deceive President Trump into making bad or unpopular decisions like this war in Iran.
[00:48:41]  But it speaks to the larger issue.
[00:48:44]  To me, it speaks to the larger issue, which we had discussed months ago, which is, oh, it seems like this gatekeeping around Trump, whether it's people that get access to Trump or what Trump sees and doesn't see, it seems that that is majorly responsible for a lot of the decisions that Trump is currently making.
[00:49:09]  Obviously, you can see if you only consume Fox News, you're going to have quite a different worldview, aren't you?
[00:49:16]  So that's what they're trying to do.
[00:49:18]  If you're only hearing from one group of people that all say the same thing about a foreign policy issue, then eventually, what are you going to do?
[00:49:24]  You're going to think that's the only point of view.
[00:49:26]  If they're only showing you polls that are rigged and show that your decisions are popular and everything's good and there is no MAGA split, then you're not going to have a clue what's going on.
[00:49:37]  So it seems that that's kind of the larger process at play here.
[00:49:42]  And the question is, the question with Trump is now, I think, does he understand that this is going on?
[00:49:59]  Or has he just embraced it because it feels good?
[00:50:03]  Does he just, does he understand?
[00:50:05]  Like, here, put it like this.
[00:50:06]  Why is it the deep state attacking Trump now?
[00:50:10]  Was it drained or these people don't exist anymore?
[00:50:13]  Why doesn't the fake news attack Trump like they used to?
[00:50:16]  You notice this?
[00:50:18]  You don't really see the swap.
[00:50:19]  You don't really see the deep state.
[00:50:20]  You don't really see the corrupt establishment.
[00:50:22]  You don't really see them attacking Trump like they used to every day.
[00:50:25]  Is it gone?
[00:50:29]  Did these shadow institutions of corruption go away?
[00:50:32]  Are they gone now?
[00:50:33]  Do they all love Trump now?
[00:50:35]  Did they just disappear?
[00:50:37]  No, I don't think so.
[00:50:39]  I think they realized that the first approach that they took to destroying President Trump didn't work.
[00:50:48]  They said, wait a second, we're unpopular.
[00:50:51]  Everything we attack becomes popular.
[00:50:53]  So let's stop attacking Trump and let's start ingratiating Trump.
[00:50:59]  Let's stop attacking Trump and let's pretend or maybe meaningfully get on board with Trump, let him dictate things for a while, just kind of let him do his thing.
[00:51:12]  And then eventually it'll be the total sabotage of the MAGA movement.
[00:51:18]  And we just have to let Trump do what he wants to do.
[00:51:21]  And we'll just ingratiate him and we'll just make sure he sees what he wants and thinks that it's all popular.
[00:51:26]  So, oh, OK, I guess people will say, oh, you're making excuses for Trump.

=== The Instant Coffee Break (05:32) ===

[00:51:39]  Maybe that's fair.
[00:51:40]  That's not what I'm here doing.
[00:51:41]  I'm just doing play-by-play color commentary of what I think is going on, what I see on the field.
[00:51:46]  And that's what I see on the field.
[00:51:49]  I think all the corrupt establishment realized attacking Trump and trying to tear him down didn't work.
[00:51:59]  It only made him more popular than ever.
[00:52:01]  So instead, they said, well, why don't we be friendly with Trump?
[00:52:04]  Why don't we get in there, be friendly with Trump, use his ego and narcissism against him, convince him these things that we're doing are popular.
[00:52:13]  Then that'll destroy MAGA.
[00:52:15]  That'll disrupt this momentous voting base that he had.
[00:52:19]  And then we can kind of get back to Swamp 101.
[00:52:26]  I think it's an observation.
[00:52:27]  You might disagree with my conclusion, but the observation is just fact.
[00:52:32]  Trump has betrayed his promises.
[00:52:35]  Everything he said about war in the Middle East, he has totally turned head and gone the other way.
[00:52:39]  That is a fact.
[00:52:42]  You can disagree on my conclusions as to why, but you cannot disagree with the fact that that is exactly what's happening.
[00:52:57]  You're listening to the Owen Report on the Win Network.

=== Geopolitical Shifts in South Lebanon (15:43) ===

[00:57:11]  home for political play by play.
[00:57:14]  It's the Owen Report with Owen Schroyer.
[00:57:41]  All right, let's get into the news now.
[00:57:44]  The news, the latest on the Iran war, some of the surrounding news.
[00:57:50]  I think there's still a lot of fog of war as far as what's actually happening on the ground.
[00:57:57]  But we get a better idea of how the geopolitical stars are aligning over this weekend.
[00:58:06]  Now, this is Democrat Senator Mark Warner, and he basically comes out here and kind of repeats everything that Rubio and others have said, but he's not really couching the statements in that, oh, we kind of made this decision on our own.
[00:58:28]  No, he's implying that there are other forces at play here.
[00:58:33]  Let's also be clear: I said before, I've said now there was no imminent threat to the United States of America by the Iranians.
[00:58:51]  There was a threat to Israel.
[00:58:56]  We equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the United States, then we are in uncharted territory.
[00:59:08]  We have seen the goals for this operation change now, I believe, four or five times.
[00:59:21]  So, even this lizard freak is calling it out.
[00:59:25]  But listen to what he says: this is the important part here.
[00:59:28]  We equate a threat to Israel is the equivalent of an imminent threat to the United States, then we are in uncharted territory.
[00:59:39]  I think that's the big statement right there.
[00:59:42]  And it seems like we've been in uncharted territory for 47 years.
[00:59:49]  And it seems like that's what this has been about.
[00:59:52]  Our politicians who have sold us out treat Israel as part of the United States.
[00:59:58]  And any threat to Israel is treated like a threat to the United States.
[01:00:01]  And that's why we have poured $5 trillion into the Middle East.
[01:00:04]  Now, as B.B. Netanyahu has said, sometimes you have to bomb America to get them involved in a war.
[01:00:11]  And then he mentions September 11th, I guess, maybe unintentionally insinuating that those were bombs in the towers.
[01:00:20]  But I digress.
[01:00:23]  It seems that that is why our foreign policy is what it is.
[01:00:27]  Because we treat Israel as the United States, which, of course, it's not.
[01:00:33]  It's a client state of the United States.
[01:00:37]  It is a benefactor state of the United States.
[01:00:43]  And as they have been at war, I think, since their existence, probably in 1948, the current state of Israel.
[01:00:50]  So because they're constantly at war, because they're constantly being threatened, because people are constantly attacking them back, that's how our foreign policy ended like this.
[01:00:59]  We treat Israel as one of the United States.
[01:01:03]  And that's why things have been so unprecedented with foreign policy for all of these years.
[01:01:10]  Now, like every other senator, like every other member of the House that came out of these meetings, they seem pretty shook.
[01:01:15]  Who knows why that is?
[01:01:19]  But there seems to be some genuine concern on this deal.
[01:01:25]  And this idea that it's going all so smoothly, I don't think is accurate.
[01:01:29]  I don't think it's accurate at all.
[01:01:31]  So we've got some other geopolitical alignments here.
[01:01:34]  Iran attacks breach international law, Swiss defense minister says.
[01:01:38]  So the Swiss, who remain neutral and everything, have joined a bunch of other European countries in saying we can't be involved in this war or it is even illegal.
[01:01:52]  Now you have Egypt calls for joint Arab force amid regional escalation with Iran.
[01:02:00]  Egypt has called on Arab states to strengthen joint security cooperation and consider forming a joint Arab force as regional tensions escalate following a conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel.
[01:02:13]  So, oh, so you mean the board of peace isn't really working?
[01:02:19]  You mean all those peace deals aren't really bringing peace to the region?
[01:02:24]  Now, remember, this is with the backdrop of the Gulf nation states signaling to the U.S. that they're reconsidering their entire relationship with us.
[01:02:32]  And we got a couple other developments on that.
[01:02:34]  So here's here to me, this is what's actually happening.
[01:02:38]  So forget all the noise, forget all the different angles, forget the backdrop.
[01:02:44]  The Arab countries that were told that everything this administration, everything the Trump administration is doing was going to bring peace and prosperity to the region.
[01:02:54]  It hasn't.
[01:02:56]  There's been ideas.
[01:02:57]  There have been hopes.
[01:02:58]  There've maybe been pockets of these things.
[01:03:00]  But generally speaking, there's no more peace.
[01:03:02]  There's no more prosperity.
[01:03:06]  And they're looking at the United States either negotiating tactics or negotiating results.
[01:03:11]  And they're saying, this is not what we were promised.
[01:03:12]  This is not what we wanted to get on board with.
[01:03:16]  So now they don't trust us.
[01:03:18]  They don't trust Israel.
[01:03:19]  They probably don't trust anybody.
[01:03:21]  And so the Arabs and the Gulf nation states are coming together and they're saying, hey, clearly we can't trust anybody out there.
[01:03:27]  So we're going to have to trust ourselves and we're going to have to find our own game plans because all these other peace deals aren't working.
[01:03:33]  All these other goals and promises and everything, none of this is coming to fruition.
[01:03:38]  So now they're kind of reforming another alliance.
[01:03:40]  So to me, this is a total failure.
[01:03:42]  This is the signal that all of Trump's peace deals in the Middle East and even the Board of Peace is already a failure.
[01:03:50]  I guess it succeeded in grifting a couple, $100 billion.
[01:03:54]  The Board of Peace ended up grifting a couple, you know, about $1 billion from that deal.
[01:04:00]  Aside from that, it's accomplished nothing.
[01:04:02]  So other groups are already trying to form their own new legions out there because whatever this peace deal, whatever these negotiations, whatever it all is, it's failed so miserably that all of these other leaders are now calling each other up and saying, hey, this isn't working.
[01:04:16]  We got to come together and figure out our own plan.
[01:04:19]  We got to figure this out for ourselves.
[01:04:22]  So that's just more signaling from last week.
[01:04:26]  Meanwhile, the American embassy is being evacuated in Saudi Arabia because now they're saying Iran is attacking Saudi Arabia.
[01:04:37]  So I'm not sure about that.
[01:04:39]  I think these are false flag attacks, if I'm being honest, but I could be wrong.
[01:04:43]  I don't know.
[01:04:43]  Maybe Iran is just going insane and attacking every country, or maybe there are real attacks happening that are targeting U.S. military installments.
[01:04:52]  And then there are fake attacks happening, targeting civilian infrastructure so that it kind of gets confused in the fog of war.
[01:04:59]  And then they can come out and say, oh, it's Iran doing this.
[01:05:01]  And then they get them to join their war with Iran.
[01:05:06]  But nonetheless, now all of these countries are being drug into it.
[01:05:08]  And they didn't want that.
[01:05:10]  This was not what the Board of Peace was about.
[01:05:11]  This is not what the peace deals with Israel was all about.
[01:05:14]  This was supposed to stop the violence, and it hasn't.
[01:05:19]  And so now Lindsey Graham is threatening Saudi Arabia.
[01:05:21]  So again, it just shows you this is not going well.
[01:05:27]  Lindsey Graham here, as if he can boss Saudi Arabia around.
[01:05:32]  It is my understanding, the kingdom refuses to use their capable military as a part of an effort to end the barbaric and terrorist Iranian regime who has terrorized the region and killed seven Americans.
[01:05:45]  You could say the exact same thing about the Israeli regime.
[01:05:47]  That's the problem.
[01:05:49]  Question, why should America do a defense agreement with a country like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that is unwilling to join a fight of mutual interest?
[01:05:57]  Well, maybe they don't view it as mutual interest.
[01:05:59]  And guess what?
[01:06:00]  Neither do the majority of Americans view it as mutual interest for our interests.
[01:06:06]  And this is, of course, in response to Saudi Arabia coming out and complaining because it's the United States that aren't fulfilling their defense deals.
[01:06:14]  It's the United States that aren't coming through with their defense agreements.
[01:06:20]  I think because the United States needs it all for this war with Iran.
[01:06:23]  And I think they're telling these other countries, sorry, we can't have these contracts fulfilled because we need full production capacity right now.
[01:06:32]  So, Saudi Arabia is saying, well, you drug us into our war.
[01:06:36]  You drug us into your war.
[01:06:37]  We need these defense capabilities.
[01:06:39]  This is why we signed the defense contract with you.
[01:06:41]  And they're saying, sorry, we can't do it.
[01:06:44]  So, Saudi Arabia is saying, well, then we don't want to be a part of this.
[01:06:46]  If you can't ensure our defense, and if we can't get the weapons we agreed to, then we can't be a part of this war.
[01:06:51]  We can't put our people at risk.
[01:06:55]  And by the way, those other investments we made with the other Gulf Nation states, now we're going to come to the table and say, you know what?
[01:07:00]  Maybe we don't honor those agreements anymore since you're not honoring our agreements.
[01:07:05]  The whole thing is falling apart.
[01:07:07]  And then they want a new Arab Legion because all of Trump's deals are falling apart.
[01:07:14]  And so that's why Lindsey Graham is attacking Saudi Arabia today.
[01:07:23]  MAGA, you are Lindsey Graham now.
[01:07:27]  Who are the barbarians?
[01:07:28]  They're all barbarians.
[01:07:30]  So I want nothing to do with them.
[01:07:33]  Israeli air and tanks strike kill six Palestinians in Gaza.
[01:07:39]  So they're still over there killing Palestinians every day.
[01:07:42]  The death toll for Israel's, what do you want to call it?
[01:07:46]  Israel's war on the Middle East.
[01:07:48]  It's basically what it is.
[01:07:49]  The death toll continues to go up, whether it's their actual military or just an in-uniform soldier.
[01:07:57]  Israeli settler in IDF uniform fatally shoots Palestinian in West Bank.
[01:08:01]  Witnesses said the incident followed a confrontation over settlers encroaching on privately owned Palestinian land, marking the second fatal shooting since Monday involving reservist settlers.
[01:08:12]  A military police investigation was opened into the case.
[01:08:15]  So you can go see this video.
[01:08:17]  Basically, you have these Palestinian cities that are still somewhat operational and they're running shops, whatever, engaging in whatever commerce they can, trying to find food, whatever, just talking to one another.
[01:08:33]  And then in comes the IDF.
[01:08:34]  They clear the entire region.
[01:08:35]  They tell them they're never welcome back.
[01:08:37]  And so every once in a while, one of the Palestinians stands up to them, says, no, this is my shop.
[01:08:42]  This is my land.
[01:08:43]  And then they get shot and they die.
[01:08:45]  And that way they don't get any other uppity Palestinians thinking that they can keep their house or keep their shop or whatever it is.
[01:08:52]  And of course, there's no punishment for Israel.
[01:08:57]  And I'm sure the Catholic Church, the Christian community, will say nothing of this.
[01:09:03]  Israeli strike kills priests as war with Hezbollah spreads in South Lebanon.
[01:09:08]  Israel says it attacked a Hezbollah cell in a Christian village, killing clergyman and injuring residents.
[01:09:14]  Well, the priest made a statement a couple of days ago saying they're not going to do this.
[01:09:19]  They're not going to be intimidated and lied to by the IDF.
[01:09:23]  So they just went in there and blew them up.
[01:09:26]  Now, Again, you won't.
[01:09:30]  The Christian community will not be upset that Israel just killed a priest and bombed a church.
[01:09:35]  They say, oh, it was Hezbollah.
[01:09:37]  Let me explain what's happening here in South Lebanon.
[01:09:39]  They are running the exact same military demolition as they did in Gaza.
[01:09:48]  It's the exact same thing.
[01:09:49]  It's just in Lebanon now.
[01:09:50]  So you'd think the world would be even more outraged.
[01:09:52]  They always seem to kind of ignore what Israel does in Gaza, at least as far as stopping it is concerned.
[01:09:57]  They'll cover it, but nobody stops it.
[01:10:00]  Well, we'll see if Lebanon is the same story.
[01:10:02]  That's what this is.
[01:10:03]  They have pushed out half a million.
[01:10:06]  They have pushed out half a million citizens of Lebanon.
[01:10:09]  They've cleared out South Lebanon and now they're doing a military demolition just like they did in Gaza.
[01:10:14]  And then eventually the IDF is going to move to that front line, declare that that is Israel and have them settle there, just like they're doing in Palestine.
[01:10:21]  Nobody stopped them.
[01:10:22]  So now they're doing it in Lebanon.
[01:10:24]  So understand, when you hear about this news every day about Israel bombing and doing this operation in South Lebanon, it is a military demolition.
[01:10:31]  The world let them do it in Gaza.
[01:10:34]  And so now they're doing it in South Lebanon.
[01:10:36]  And eventually they'll move in their Israeli settlers.
[01:10:40]  Everything, everything they just did in the Gaza Strip, they're now doing in South Lebanon.
[01:10:44]  And they'll probably expand beyond that soon as well.
[01:10:50]  Now there are reports in Lebanon saying Israel was using white phosphorus.
[01:10:57]  Human Rights Watch verifies use of incendiary weapons over residential areas in South Lebanon.
[01:11:04]  So again, well, who knows if they're using the white phosphorus or not?
[01:11:08]  There are claims.
[01:11:10]  Wouldn't surprise anybody.
[01:11:12]  But hey, they got to clear out the people.
[01:11:14]  You know, they got to clear out the people before they demolish their property and take their land.
[01:11:19]  So, okay, that's how we're doing in Lebanon.
[01:11:22]  Then there's Iran.
[01:11:23]  Toxic rain mixed with oil rains down on Tehran as expanding war threatens new global shock.
[01:11:30]  I'm sitting at home with a headache and my mouth tastes bitter.
[01:11:33]  One resident of the Iranian capital told NBC News: Free Iran by bombing it and killing a bunch of people.
[01:11:38]  Free Iran by killing all of their leadership and bombing their capital city and killing a bunch of schoolgirls and everything.
[01:11:45]  Free Iran.
[01:11:48]  That's your Black Lives Matter for conservatives.
[01:11:50]  Free Iran.
[01:11:51]  Come on.
[01:11:52]  Put up the fist.
[01:11:52]  Free Iran.
[01:11:53]  Now, you don't see any of this in the Western media.
[01:11:55]  I don't play it because it's like any other country.
[01:11:57]  You've got a left, you've got a right.
[01:11:58]  You've got people that support the regime.
[01:12:00]  You've got people that hate the regime.
[01:12:02]  But believe me, the videos that you're seeing that are all pro this war, that's all propaganda.
[01:12:08]  And none of them are, virtually, none of them are in Iran.
[01:12:11]  Virtually zero of the so-called Iranians that support this war, virtually zero of them are in Iran.
[01:12:18]  Now, you can go to Iran and you can see that the majority of people over there don't like this war.
[01:12:23]  It doesn't mean they liked Khamenei and his regime, but they don't like this war.
[01:12:27]  They're being tortured by this war.
[01:12:28]  You don't see that stuff hitting the western media for obvious reasons.
[01:12:31]  You're paying for this war and you're told it's popular in Iran when it's not.
[01:12:37]  And then they shove the fake Iranian propaganda in front of your face with people that don't even live there or have never lived there or are actually not even Iranian.
[01:12:46]  They're actually what they call Jewish Iranians that in a poll said they side more with Israel than Iran.

=== Iran's 9/11 and the Regime (05:44) ===

[01:12:55]  So, so here's how it's really going.
[01:12:59]  At first, and this is what their plan was, and they'd hoped it would work for months because Trump doesn't want to do this regime change war.
[01:13:08]  I really don't think he does.
[01:13:09]  He might not have a choice, but they're trying to do it.
[01:13:13]  Trump is trying to do it without getting blood on his hands.
[01:13:17]  It's too late now, but that was the goal.
[01:13:18]  So they said, all right, if we bomb the nuclear facilities, will you guys get off my back?
[01:13:22]  Yes, okay, bomb the nuclear facilities.
[01:13:24]  We'll say it's over and then we'll get off his back.
[01:13:26]  Well, they lied.
[01:13:28]  They wanted the regime changed the whole time.
[01:13:29]  They lied to Trump.
[01:13:32]  So then they sent in the Mossad, they sent in the CIA operatives to try to do a color revolution inside Iran, starting the protest where they say 30,000, whatever amount were killed.
[01:13:42]  Who knows the real number?
[01:13:43]  That was started by foreign intelligence agencies.
[01:13:45]  That was started by proxy groups tied into the intelligence agencies to get in there on the ground arming people, whatever.
[01:13:54]  This is where the protesters died.
[01:13:55]  Who knows the truth about that?
[01:13:57]  But no, that was an intelligence-run operation to try to have a seemingly an organic revolution inside Iran doing regime change so that the militaries didn't have to get involved directly.
[01:14:09]  That didn't work.
[01:14:10]  They don't have it.
[01:14:11]  There aren't a bunch of people in Iran that want to overthrow the regime.
[01:14:14]  It just doesn't exist, at least at a level that they had hoped that they could fund and arm and then drag it actually out on the streets.
[01:14:22]  So then they went to the next level.
[01:14:24]  They said, all right, let's just bomb the hell out of the regime.
[01:14:27]  Let's bomb the hell out of the regime.
[01:14:29]  Let's handicap their military and then let's tell the Iranian people, go take your country back.
[01:14:35]  Go take it back.
[01:14:36]  This is your time.
[01:14:37]  Go take it back.
[01:14:38]  So they were hoping once they crippled the Iranian military, once they bombed Tehran, killed all the leaders, that there would be the revolution and the Iranian people would march and protest and storm and take their government back.
[01:14:50]  And then they could have it.
[01:14:51]  Didn't happen.
[01:14:54]  Didn't happen.
[01:14:55]  In fact, quite the opposite.
[01:14:58]  Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Iranians took to the streets against the war in support of Khamenei.
[01:15:06]  So it didn't work.
[01:15:08]  So see, all of this propaganda, all of this, all of these lies that they're feeding you, like, oh, this is so great for Iran, freeing the Iranian people.
[01:15:16]  They're all for it.
[01:15:17]  Where are they?
[01:15:18]  Why didn't they do it?
[01:15:19]  Why didn't they do it when the CIA and Mossad tried to arm them and lead them to do it?
[01:15:23]  Why didn't they do it after we blew up their entire capital city, killed all of their leadership?
[01:15:27]  Why didn't they do it then?
[01:15:29]  Because it's all a lie.
[01:15:31]  It's all a lie.
[01:15:33]  Iran has people that support the regime, hate the regime, people in the middle, people in the just like any other populated country.
[01:15:40]  There was no taste for this revolution.
[01:15:42]  There was no ability to overthrow the regime with the people of Iran on the streets.
[01:15:47]  You were lied to.
[01:15:48]  They tried twice, probably more than that, but they tried at least twice in the last couple of months and it failed.
[01:15:54]  So this is where they're at now.
[01:15:55]  They just have to bomb everything.
[01:15:59]  So what are you going to do now that you have the younger Khamenei, who's apparently more radical than his father, and he's in power?
[01:16:05]  You just killed his whole family.
[01:16:07]  The people in the streets of Iran now support him, many of which probably wouldn't have before, but they don't like foreign countries bombing them, blowing up their oil into the air and causing oil rain.
[01:16:19]  Oh, I'm sure that'll turn the Iranian people into our friends.
[01:16:22]  I'm sure the revolutions on the streets that you failed to get twice, I'm sure now that you're blowing up their capacity for oil refinery, and I'm sure that, you know, killing all of their leadership and everything else, I'm sure now, now you can get the revolution.
[01:16:37]  No, it's not working.
[01:16:41]  So I don't know what you do.
[01:16:42]  I don't know what you do now that the younger Khamenei, who is even more radical than his father, I don't know what, and now he has a dead family.
[01:16:49]  I don't know what you do.
[01:16:50]  And now you have the people of Iran probably unified more than they've been because of this.
[01:16:54]  Go figure.
[01:16:56]  It's like you understand.
[01:16:57]  This is why, this is what's so unfortunate about people brainwashed by the Western media.
[01:17:03]  You understand for many of them, this is their 9-11.
[01:17:08]  And don't, I'm not trying to equate the two.
[01:17:10]  I'm not trying to put the two on moral equivalence or anything like that.
[01:17:14]  Just this is a directional thing.
[01:17:16]  This is an attitude thing.
[01:17:18]  This is Iran's 9-11.
[01:17:21]  This is what their regime is going to use to get momentum on their side, to rally people on their side, to rally the military in their support.
[01:17:31]  That's what this is like.
[01:17:32]  Just like 9-11 was used to unify America against the terrorists.
[01:17:37]  The Iranian regime and their followers and their loyalists will use this to unify their people against Israel and against us now.
[01:17:48]  That's how they look at this.
[01:17:49]  So if you're trying to understand what's really going on on the ground in Iran, there you go.
[01:17:53]  They tried to have the color revolution on the streets twice, didn't work.
[01:17:58]  Did not work.
[01:18:00]  Now they have a new leader, Khamenei's younger son, who's more radical.
[01:18:06]  And now they have their 9-11 event to rally Iranians to wave flags in the streets, to protest and to garner up military support against their enemies.
[01:18:17]  We're only in day 10.
[01:18:18]  Let's see what happens.
[01:18:24]  Dark like our future.
[01:18:26]  Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran's oil depots bombed.
[01:18:32]  Residents report terror of smoke-filled city from potentially toxic rain, air, and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape.

=== Zero Nuclear War Chance (11:41) ===

[01:18:40]  Well, that'll get them on our side.
[01:18:44]  Yeah, we couldn't get them to fight our revolution before.
[01:18:47]  I'm sure this will work.
[01:18:48]  Or they've just given up.
[01:18:51]  Or maybe they've just given up.
[01:18:56]  Trump says oil tanker crews must show some guts and sail through the Strait of Hormuz.
[01:19:03]  Imagine that.
[01:19:05]  Imagine you're some oil tanker.
[01:19:07]  You're on a ship.
[01:19:08]  You're probably not even American.
[01:19:10]  Who knows?
[01:19:11]  You know, you're working for what, 50, 60 bucks an hour on one of these deals, just trying to keep some food in your family's home.
[01:19:21]  And you got this large war going on.
[01:19:23]  You're like, yeah, I don't really want to die in this war.
[01:19:26]  Say, show some guts, soldier.
[01:19:28]  It's like, dude, I just work on a, I'm just a crew hand on an oil ship.
[01:19:31]  Show some guts.
[01:19:33]  They keep blowing them up.
[01:19:34]  Show some guts.
[01:19:37]  Imagine that.
[01:19:38]  I don't think it's going so well.
[01:19:40]  Now, oil got up to 116 a barrel.
[01:19:43]  It has since dipped back below 100 last I saw.
[01:19:47]  But if that's the message, let's see.
[01:19:54]  If that's the message, yikes.
[01:20:00]  I don't know how long that message is going to resonate with anybody.
[01:20:04]  So it's down to 90 now.
[01:20:06]  So the highest today was 116.
[01:20:09]  It's the first time since I think 22, it was up to 116.
[01:20:13]  And right now it is back down to 90.
[01:20:16]  So that's good news.
[01:20:21]  But that thing is very volatile.
[01:20:23]  And I guess they convinced, I guess they convinced some ships to get through there, despite who knows, who knows the strength of the promises that the supposed insurance or the strength of the promises of supposed military escort.
[01:20:41]  Who knows the strength of those promises or if they can back them up?
[01:20:45]  But that's how they were trying to convince them.
[01:20:49]  And I guess they were at least able to move some through because that peak went back down.
[01:20:54]  So that's good news.
[01:20:57]  Still not if you're in Iran.
[01:20:59]  We couldn't sleep because of fear.
[01:21:01]  Oh, this was in Israel.
[01:21:03]  I'm sorry.
[01:21:03]  Oh, no, this was in Lebanon.
[01:21:05]  I'm sorry.
[01:21:06]  They're all living in fear because it's the peace president.
[01:21:08]  It's the board of peace.
[01:21:10]  We couldn't sleep because of fear.
[01:21:11]  Residents flee as Israel pounds South Beirut.
[01:21:17]  So this is the president of peace.
[01:21:18]  This is the peace administration bombing everywhere.
[01:21:20]  Nobody living safely.
[01:21:22]  Not in Israel, not in Lebanon, not in Iran.
[01:21:26]  Now, now you got problems in the Gulf nation states.
[01:21:28]  Hell, you got problems here.
[01:21:32]  And I guess it's so destabilized now.
[01:21:38]  U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner cancel scheduled trip to Israel.
[01:21:43]  That was supposed to happen tomorrow.
[01:21:45]  They canceled it.
[01:21:47]  So something is not stable here.
[01:21:49]  Something is not going well.
[01:21:53]  Why would Witkoff? and Kushner cancel their trip to Israel right now when it's such an important time.
[01:21:58]  Well, maybe they got issues here to deal with because things are destabilizing here.
[01:22:02]  Maybe Israel is so destabilized and the Middle East is so destabilized, they don't want to take the trip anymore.
[01:22:10]  Maybe a little of both.
[01:22:11]  We'll have another update on that later.
[01:22:16]  Syria's Kurds caution Iran's Kurds against aligning with the U.S. against Tehran.
[01:22:23]  So we got some other stories to kind of put this together, but basically, you know, these are the proxy groups that the U.S. and Israel funds.
[01:22:33]  Sometimes they do it directly, like you remember with Obama, the moderate rebels, the famous headline, the Obama to arm moderate rebels.
[01:22:42]  So that's what they do.
[01:22:43]  They take these proxy groups.
[01:22:44]  Usually it's done through secrecy, through the CIA or through Mossad, or they launder it through, you know, a situation like in Ukraine, just pour hundreds of billions of dollars, or a situation in Afghanistan, leave all the weapons.
[01:22:56]  So they always find a way to arm these groups, these proxy groups, to then do their color revolutions.
[01:23:01]  So originally, that was the intent was, okay, let's just get the Kurds to do it.
[01:23:06]  We can't get the people of Iran to do it.
[01:23:08]  So let's get the Kurds to do it.
[01:23:10]  And then the other Kurdish forces that had cut deals similarly with Western intelligence networks or the CIA or Mossad or whoever, they said, hey, don't trust these people.
[01:23:20]  They're going to have you do your dirty work.
[01:23:22]  They're going to have you do their dirty work and then they're not going to have your back.
[01:23:28]  So that was an idea that came out of the White House that they were talking about and even made the news.
[01:23:33]  Maybe the offer was made.
[01:23:35]  Not going to happen now.
[01:23:37]  After initially voicing support, Trump says he doesn't want the Kurds to enter Iran war.
[01:23:42]  U.S. President Trump previously stated Kurdish invasion from Iraq would be wonderful, but now says conflict complicated enough as it is, believes Iran behind deadly strike on school in South Iran.
[01:23:53]  Well, that's a separate story.
[01:23:55]  But no, they wanted the Kurds to go in there and do their bidding.
[01:23:59]  Then they realized it wasn't such a hot offer to them.
[01:24:01]  So they said, okay, never mind.
[01:24:06]  Or they already rejected the offer.
[01:24:07]  And this is just Trump saying, never mind, I'm not interested.
[01:24:10]  Kind of like, you can't, I'm like, you're fired.
[01:24:12]  You can't fire me.
[01:24:16]  And now it's hitting our homeland.
[01:24:18]  Last weekend, it was the shooting here in Austin.
[01:24:22]  Now it's New York.
[01:24:24]  Two men are charged with using a weapon of mass destruction after IEDs are tossed near New York City mayor's home.
[01:24:32]  Some crazy videos of that, by the way.
[01:24:38]  Warrant served in New Jersey and Pennsylvania as feds look into possible New York City terrorism.
[01:24:45]  Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi remain in custody.
[01:24:50]  And these are the two guys that lobbed the said IED towards Gracie Mansion in New York City.
[01:24:56]  They're saying it's an act of ISIS-inspired terrorism.
[01:25:01]  So is this just going to be part of a larger uptick in this type of themed terrorism since the war in Iran started?
[01:25:11]  Seems to be tension everywhere.
[01:25:14]  Kansas City International Airport evacuation lifted after reported threat.
[01:25:19]  I've seen a couple of these claims, a couple of these videos.
[01:25:22]  Some have turned out to be true, others not.
[01:25:25]  This one was obviously confirmed.
[01:25:27]  All kinds of bomb scares happening now.
[01:25:31]  Here was another one that got confirmed.
[01:25:33]  So that last one, Kansas City.
[01:25:34]  This is Birmingham, Alabama.
[01:25:37]  Passengers forced to evacuate plane at Birmingham airport due to possible security issue.
[01:25:45]  They had to be taken off the plane because of security issues.
[01:25:49]  The plane was headed to Washington, D.C.
[01:25:53]  So here we go.
[01:25:56]  This war is no longer isolated.
[01:25:58]  This war is here, ladies and gentlemen.
[01:26:02]  This war is here.
[01:26:07]  This certainly won't calm you down.
[01:26:10]  Trump deploys doomsday nuclear command planes to the Middle East as World War III fears surge.
[01:26:17]  That's great.
[01:26:21]  The U.S. military's terrifying doomsday planes have taken to the skies as fears of a nuclear war inch closer to reality.
[01:26:29]  Flight tracking data has captured multiple launches of the Navy's E-6B Mercury Strategic Airborne Command aircraft since the war in Iran began on February 28th.
[01:26:41]  These giant planes, constructed using the frames of the Boeing 707, are built to survive nuclear war and coordinate America's military response from the air.
[01:26:53]  Well, I guess that means the threat of nuclear war is higher than zero.
[01:26:59]  That's not cool.
[01:27:03]  The threat of nuclear war is now higher than zero.
[01:27:06]  That's another threshold for me.
[01:27:08]  I wanted zero dollars and more wars.
[01:27:10]  I wanted zero strikes.
[01:27:11]  I wanted zero Americans dead.
[01:27:13]  I wanted zero days.
[01:27:14]  I wanted the chance of nuclear war to be zero.
[01:27:22]  It's definitely not zero.
[01:27:23]  We wonder how bad it really is.
[01:27:27]  And I said last week, that was my fear.
[01:27:33]  I saw other people saying it this week to start this week.
[01:27:38]  I said, my fear is that they might do it.
[01:27:42]  Somebody might get nuked.
[01:27:43]  They might do it.
[01:27:47]  That's my fear.
[01:27:52]  And you can see it's not just my fear.
[01:27:55]  It's not just our fear.
[01:27:56]  Everybody is seeing it.
[01:27:57]  Everybody's thinking it now.
[01:27:58]  So it's not 0%.
[01:28:01]  In fact, it's so high, apparently.
[01:28:05]  World War III bunker manufacturer.
[01:28:07]  I'm inundated with calls.
[01:28:10]  As war rages in Iran, Ron Hubbard is fielding inquiries from politicians and billionaires, including two members of Trump's cabinet, for a nuclear war bunker.
[01:28:26]  Probably not a good sign.
[01:28:30]  Probably not good.
[01:28:31]  Trump cabinet members allegedly buying nuclear bunkers.
[01:28:35]  The Iran conflict has ignited a massive surge in demand for nuclear-proof bunkers across America, with even top Trump administration officials securing their own underground fortresses amid whispers of World War III.
[01:28:52]  Ron Hubbard, the owner of Atlas Survivor Shelters, reports being inundated with calls since the conflict erupted with increase spiking tenfold.
[01:29:01]  The Texas-based company, which builds everything from 20,000 basic shelters to multi-million dollar compounds, is reaping a harvest from the heightened tensions.
[01:29:12]  One of them texted me yesterday.
[01:29:14]  One of the members of the Trump cabinet texted him yesterday.
[01:29:19]  When will my bunker be ready?
[01:29:20]  These bunkers boast hardened steel construction.
[01:29:23]  Okay, yada yada yada from a blast.
[01:29:26]  Okay.
[01:29:29]  So there you go.
[01:29:32]  Doomsday plane in the air.
[01:29:34]  Trump cabinet officials buying nuclear bunkers.
[01:29:41]  Not good signs.
[01:29:45]  The peace president, the peace president who's going to stop all these wars.
[01:29:52]  And now everyone is looking for the nearest bunker.
[01:30:02]  Maybe it's that.
[01:30:06]  Maybe it's that.
[01:30:08]  But I'm sure they'll let you.
[01:30:09]  I'm sure they'll let all of you Trump loyalists.
[01:30:12]  I'm sure they're going to let all the people in the Trump cult know.
[01:30:14]  They're going to give you guys a fair warning and give you guys access to their bunkers too, right?
[01:30:19]  They'll make sure you guys are taken care of, I'm sure.

=== Domestic Surveillance Without Human Oversight (11:58) ===

[01:30:21]  guys can put on your red hat and you'll get access.
[01:30:23]  They'll make sure you're taken care of.
[01:30:27]  That's funny.
[01:30:30]  Maybe it's that.
[01:30:32]  Maybe it's this.
[01:30:34]  Maybe it's the coming AI.
[01:30:38]  So here we go.
[01:30:40]  We all saw it coming.
[01:30:42]  Now we're getting to the point of no return.
[01:30:45]  Florida legislatures advance a bill authorizing government surveillance based on views or opinions.
[01:30:52]  Well, how do you like that?
[01:30:54]  As if they aren't doing it already.
[01:30:55]  They're just trying to integrate AI into the process because that makes it a lot easier, takes the man out of it, takes the manpower out of it, which is finite.
[01:31:06]  House and Senate committees were unfazed by the obvious First Amendment problems with the proposed statewide counterintelligence and counterterrorism unit.
[01:31:15]  Well, the Trump administration is about to do something similar here.
[01:31:17]  So it's starting in Florida.
[01:31:19]  We all know what they love to target in Florida.
[01:31:21]  That's anti-Semitism.
[01:31:24]  So that'll be the first earmark.
[01:31:26]  But that's just like, that's just like the gateway.
[01:31:29]  That's just like the pathway.
[01:31:30]  That's just like the key to open the door.
[01:31:33]  So that's why you see a lot of the anti-Semitism hype is they want to bring this about, and they know anti-Semitism is the key to open the door to getting the total surveillance.
[01:31:46]  That's what this is about.
[01:31:49]  That's what this is about.
[01:31:51]  So you could really fathom if you were a really committed conspiracy theorist, you could really fathom why they're doing all of this stuff right now, why they're revealing Israel's influence over our media, Israel's influence over our politicians, Israel's influence over our foreign policy.
[01:32:11]  And then we go to another war for them.
[01:32:14]  It's like you could kind of see if you're a real committed conspiracy theorist thinking that this is all tied together.
[01:32:19]  So here you are.
[01:32:21]  You let the world watch Israel kill hundreds of thousands of people, bomb seven different countries.
[01:32:26]  You reveal how Israel is the number one influencer of your own foreign policy, the number one benefactor of your own foreign aid policy, and now how they control your media.
[01:32:35]  You reveal these things all at the same time.
[01:32:37]  You drive this conversation home of should we be friends or allies with Israel?
[01:32:43]  Is Israel really the good guy?
[01:32:44]  What about their influence?
[01:32:46]  And then they make sure that it's framed, though, that if you say anything, you're anti-Semitic.
[01:32:51]  Well, obviously, that's not the truth.
[01:32:53]  So then the people that do make these claims double down, triple down, get even more upset, get even louder, more boisterous.
[01:33:01]  And then they can come in and say, see, see, the rise of anti-Semitism.
[01:33:07]  We need to bring in the digital surveillance age, and we need to use AI surveillance to do it.
[01:33:12]  We have to stop anti-Semitism.
[01:33:14]  And it's like Black Lives Matter for right-wingers.
[01:33:16]  So they just glob onto it.
[01:33:20]  And they just think, oh, this is our virtue signal.
[01:33:24]  This is our social justice movement.
[01:33:26]  We will fight anti-Semitism.
[01:33:29]  Well, whether or not it's all a big plan, it's all going according to the non-existent plan.
[01:33:38]  But now people that work in AI are sending out these warnings.
[01:33:45]  This is unprecedented from Charlie Warjnier, and I'll read this.
[01:33:52]  Google and OpenAI employees just went public with a major warning.
[01:33:56]  In a joint letter, hundreds of employees are rejecting AI-powered surveillance, autonomous weapons, and Pentagon pressure.
[01:34:03]  They're standing in solidarity with Anthropic.
[01:34:05]  Anthropic.
[01:34:06]  Now, again, this is last week.
[01:34:07]  So just to give a little context, this was from the 5th when they penned this letter.
[01:34:14]  And Anthropic that had all these deals and runs Claude and all of this stuff that had all these deals with the Defense Department said, hey, we aren't doing data collection for you guys.
[01:34:25]  We're not going to do data collection.
[01:34:26]  We're not going to do private data for citizens.
[01:34:30]  We're not harvesting that for you.
[01:34:32]  So then there was this big rub over that in their contracts.
[01:34:35]  And then eventually it even led to this.
[01:34:38]  We will not be divided.
[01:34:40]  The Department of War is threatening to one invoke the Defense Production Act to force Anthropic to serve their model to the military and tailor its model to military needs.
[01:34:51]  Two, label the company a supply chain risk, all in retaliation for Anthropic sticking to their red line to not allow their models to be used for domestic mass surveillance and autonomously killing people without human oversight.
[01:35:04]  The Pentagon is negotiating with Google and OpenAI to try to get them to agree with what Anthropic has refused.
[01:35:11]  They're trying to divide each company with the fear that the other will give in.
[01:35:14]  That strategy only works if none of us know where the others stand.
[01:35:19]  This is why Netanyahu wants to be involved in every conversation, by the way.
[01:35:23]  This letter serves to create shared understanding and solidarity with the face of this pressure from the Department of War.
[01:35:30]  Let me read this again so you can understand how serious this is.
[01:35:33]  Because it's not sexy.
[01:35:36]  I mean, you're not going to see it.
[01:35:38]  You're not going to see it on any of the network news.
[01:35:43]  You probably never even heard this.
[01:35:44]  You probably never even saw this.
[01:35:46]  If you're not watching this show, you might not even know about the Anthropic deal.
[01:35:49]  We only covered it once last week.
[01:35:52]  Let me read this.
[01:35:56]  The Department of War is threatening to invoke the Defense Production Act to force Anthropic artificial intelligence to serve their model to the military and tailor its model to the military's needs.
[01:36:12]  This is in retaliation for Anthropic sticking to their red lines to not allow their models to be used for domestic mass surveillance and autonomously killing people without human oversight.
[01:36:26]  Now, think about that.
[01:36:28]  The Department of War is telling you they want to use AI for mass surveillance of the American people and including or separate to be used to autonomously kill people without human oversight.
[01:36:53]  Now, you could reason that, oh, well, they're just, that last part isn't for America.
[01:36:58]  The last part of the autonomous AI deciding when to kill someone, that's part of foreign operations.
[01:37:05]  That's part of whatever it is we're doing on the other side of the planet, in the Middle East, whatever.
[01:37:10]  But you don't know that.
[01:37:12]  You don't know that.
[01:37:13]  It could be like the Patriot Act, which is now just used to spy on all Americans.
[01:37:17]  And anytime they want it, they can get you.
[01:37:21]  So they come out, they blow the whistle.
[01:37:23]  This is a massive story.
[01:37:25]  The Department of War, I mean, this is war against the American people.
[01:37:29]  That's what this is.
[01:37:30]  This is the Trump administration and the Department of War saying, We want to use your artificial intelligence software to do war against the American people.
[01:37:41]  We need mass surveillance.
[01:37:43]  We need full data collection and we need it to be able to autonomously kill people without human oversight.
[01:37:53]  Kind of a big deal.
[01:37:55]  Can you imagine if the Biden administration did this?
[01:37:57]  Can you imagine if the Biden administration?
[01:38:00]  Oh my gosh, would you be hearing it from MAGA?
[01:38:04]  If the Biden administration came out and said, we need to use AI for domestic surveillance and data gathering and to autonomously kill people without human oversight, MAGA would be going nuts.
[01:38:18]  They would be screaming and shouting about how Biden was doing this, how they want to illegally spy on us, how they want to use it against Trump supporters and Trump himself.
[01:38:27]  And of course, all of that would be accurate.
[01:38:30]  But now that it's the Trump administration doing it, they say nothing.
[01:38:36]  Because if logic can't be applied universally, it's not logic.
[01:38:40]  It's propaganda.
[01:38:42]  But there's more.
[01:38:44]  From Caitlin Kalinowski, building the physics future of artificial intelligence.
[01:38:52]  She just resigned from Open AI.
[01:38:57]  I resigned from OpenAI.
[01:38:59]  I care deeply about the robotics team and the work we built together.
[01:39:02]  This wasn't an easy call.
[01:39:04]  AI has an important role in national security, but surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got.
[01:39:16]  This was about principle, not people.
[01:39:18]  I have deep respect for Sam and the team.
[01:39:20]  I'm proud of what we built together.
[01:39:22]  So people are warning you from inside these systems.
[01:39:25]  They're warning you.
[01:39:26]  The government is building a system to be used against you.
[01:39:30]  They refuse to take out of these deals that you have to have a human oversight of this AI killing people.
[01:39:36]  Are you hearing this?
[01:39:43]  Anthropic CEO admits, we don't know if the models are conscious as cloud claims 15 to 20% probability of awareness.
[01:39:56]  So you can't even have these conversations now.
[01:40:00]  And by the way, the Trump administration just came out with us today.
[01:40:05]  This came out today.
[01:40:07]  Trump's 2026 cybersecurity strategy from compliance to consequence.
[01:40:12]  This was, well, this story was published today.
[01:40:15]  The cybersecurity deal came out earlier this month.
[01:40:21]  What is Trump's 2026 cybersecurity strategy?
[01:40:25]  An executive order targeting cyber-enabled crime and a national cyber strategy.
[01:40:33]  It's, you know, they call it common sense, but it's exactly what you think it is.
[01:40:38]  It's an AI digital surveillance grid.
[01:40:43]  And you could sit here and say, yes, this would be effective.
[01:40:46]  You could sit here and say, okay, a government surveillance state used to stop crime and using AI to process data and trying to make a good decision, whatever.
[01:40:59]  This is eventually going to be used to track and trace and spy on every single American.
[01:41:06]  And it will then congruently be put into your different social security apps that will then create a social credit score that in the private market, they'll hit you and say, you can't turn on your car, you can't turn on your heat, you can't turn on your AC, you can't access your bank account, whatever it is.
[01:41:31]  And they'll do all of this through the private markets and they'll say, well, this is private markets.
[01:41:38]  They're not beholden to the Constitution.
[01:41:40]  They're not beholden to the Bill of Rights, just like they did before when all the social media networks were censoring Americans on political guidelines.
[01:41:49]  And it was ultimately said, well, this is a private company.
[01:41:51]  It can do what it wants.
[01:41:53]  So that's going to be the argument here.
[01:41:54]  They're going to say, well, the government isn't actually doing this.
[01:41:59]  We're just forcing all of these different social media networks, all of these different AI platforms.
[01:42:06]  We're just forcing them to do it.
[01:42:09]  And remember, that's exactly what Obama, that's exactly what Biden, and that's exactly what that crazy woman who ran for Biden said.

=== Prison Guard Cover-Up Revealed (04:03) ===

[01:42:20]  And then it came out in undercover tapes.
[01:42:21]  It's like, hey, our end around is it's not unconstitutional if we don't do it.
[01:42:28]  So we just pressure, we just pressure the social media companies to do this.
[01:42:33]  We just pressure the different institutions that aren't public, that aren't government institutions.
[01:42:38]  We just pressure them to do this.
[01:42:39]  And then they can do it.
[01:42:40]  And we just say, hey, they're not the government.
[01:42:42]  They can do what they want.
[01:42:44]  So now Trump's team is doing it.
[01:42:47]  And there's no outcry from MAGA.
[01:42:52]  There's no outcry about the digital surveillance grid.
[01:42:55]  There's no outcry about the spying and the censorship and the compilation of your data.
[01:43:01]  There's no outrage.
[01:43:04]  MAGA has nothing to say on that today.
[01:43:08]  They love it.
[01:43:10]  But everybody knows, everybody listening to this knows right now, if the Biden administration did it or when the Biden administration did it, there was outrage.
[01:43:23]  All right, we've got some other Epstein drama here.
[01:43:27]  I was even thinking about going into some of the files I hadn't read yet.
[01:43:32]  But here we go.
[01:43:33]  Prison guards discussed cover-up of Epstein's death.
[01:43:37]  Inmate tells FBI.
[01:43:39]  Oh, and now you've got some new revelations with the camera footage, some new revelations with bank accounts.
[01:43:48]  You have members of the oversight committee coming out and saying, no, we don't believe Epstein killed himself.
[01:43:52]  Yikes, how do Kash Patel and Bongino look at this situation now?
[01:44:00]  An inmate housed at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York told the FBI he overheard guards talking about covering up Jeffrey Epstein's death on the morning he died.
[01:44:10]  Well, that would coincide with the other records we have from that morning.
[01:44:15]  And then, of course, that post on 4chan or Reddit, wherever it was, was like, hey, I was in here.
[01:44:20]  Here's what happened.
[01:44:20]  This is really weird.
[01:44:23]  The federal government's online Epstein library contains a five-page handwritten report of an FBI interview with an inmate who awoke the morning of August 10th, 2019 to the loud commotion in the special housing unit where he and Epstein were jailed.
[01:44:39]  Breathe, breathe.
[01:44:40]  So they're going through these scenes here.
[01:44:48]  He then heard an officer say, dudes, you killed that dude.
[01:44:52]  A female guard replied, if he is dead, we're going to cover it up and he's going to have an alibi.
[01:44:57]  Officers, the FBI notes said the inmate claimed the whole wing overheard the exchange.
[01:45:03]  Later, after learning Epstein had died, he said inmates said Miss Noel killed Jeffrey.
[01:45:10]  So that's the name of this prison guard now, this female prison guard who's been covered in the news here.
[01:45:17]  It's this supposedly Tova Noel, one of two correctional officers who were later charged with falsifying reports so that it appeared from their records that they had made their rounds that night when they had not.
[01:45:32]  The charges against her and the other officer were later dropped, but both were fired.
[01:45:37]  Why would you fire them if they didn't do it wrong?
[01:45:40]  But the charges were dropped.
[01:45:44]  So there's more suspicion.
[01:45:48]  The FBI report is likely to fan suspicion as the New York Post also reported on Saturday that Noel's bank flagged a $5,000 cash deposit she made to her Chase bank account on July 30th, 2019, a week after Epstein was found in his cell in what prison officials concluded was a suicide attempt the week before.
[01:46:11]  The official reports into that incident show that Epstein initially told prison officials that his cellmate had tried to kill him after extorting him for money.

=== Missiles, Sanctions, and Nuclear Fuel (15:29) ===

[01:46:23]  So more developments here.
[01:46:25]  This story is not going away.
[01:46:27]  Her bank records, which are in the files, showed that Noel received thousands of dollars in cash and Zell payments in the months before Epstein died.
[01:46:36]  She has not been charged with any crime.
[01:46:38]  The Miami Herald was unsuccessful in reaching her attorney on Saturday.
[01:46:44]  Epstein's former cellmate, Efrain Reyes, told prison officials that he told Epstein he would be safer if he paid inmates and guards for protection.
[01:46:53]  Sources have told the Herald that Epstein did not make protection payments.
[01:46:56]  Noel's bank records also revealed that she was making payments on a brand new Range Rover.
[01:47:02]  She was not asked about the cash during her DOJ interview.
[01:47:05]  Well, isn't that convenient?
[01:47:08]  How do you not bring that up?
[01:47:15]  That's all very convenient.
[01:47:19]  That's all very convenient.
[01:47:22]  All right, we got a couple other headlines for you here.
[01:47:25]  Trump just went live.
[01:47:27]  let's see if he's talking anything worth listening to ran out very completely Most of Iran's naval power has been sunk.
[01:47:47]  It's on the bottom of the sea.
[01:47:49]  It's almost 50 ships.
[01:47:52]  I was just notified as 51 ships.
[01:47:54]  I didn't know they had that many.
[01:47:57]  Didn't last very long.
[01:47:59]  And these are fighting vessels.
[01:48:01]  They're meant to fight, but they're not meant to fight against us.
[01:48:05]  We continue to target Iran's drone and missile capabilities.
[01:48:09]  Their drones are way down.
[01:48:11]  Their drone manufacturing has been hit starting today.
[01:48:16]  We know all of the places they manufacture the drones, and they're being hit one after another.
[01:48:21]  Their missile capability is down to about 10%, maybe less.
[01:48:27]  We're also hitting where they make missiles and where they deliver missiles.
[01:48:32]  We've struck over 5,000 targets to date, some of them very major targets.
[01:48:37]  And we've left some of the most important targets for later in case we need to do it.
[01:48:42]  If we hit them, it's going to take many years for them to be rebuilt, having to do with electricity production and many other things.
[01:48:51]  So we're not looking to do that if we don't have to.
[01:48:55]  But they're the kind of things that are very easy to hit, but very devastating if they are hit.
[01:49:00]  We are waiting to see what happens before we hit them.
[01:49:04]  We could take them all out in one day, but it's all resulting in a 90% decline in various things, but in particular, Iranian missile launchers and 83% drop in drone launchers, as you know.
[01:49:20]  The drone launchers are pretty well shot, but we're at over 90% decline in the Iranian missile launchers, which is very hard to reproduce and very hard to get.
[01:49:34]  And usually what we were able to do through great equipment, a lot of smart people, as soon as they sent a missile up from a launcher, we were able to knock out that launcher within a period of five minutes or less, accurately right on the Nagan.
[01:49:52]  So now we have low-cost interceptors effectively combating Iranian drones.
[01:49:57]  And our B-2 bombers recently dropped dozens of 2,000-pound bombs to destroy missile launchers all over Iran and buried deep under Iranian soil in many cases.
[01:50:10]  The soil was no match.
[01:50:13]  And we're also annihilating the manufacturing base that the regime uses to build drones and missiles at a rate that nobody thought was possible.
[01:50:21]  We're knocking them out.
[01:50:23]  We know where they all are.
[01:50:24]  We're knocking them out very quickly.
[01:50:26]  We're ahead of our initial timeline by a lot.
[01:50:30]  I would say that we probably would not have thought after a month we'd be here.
[01:50:34]  In addition to the fact that we've taken out the leadership twice and maybe three times.
[01:50:43]  And we, as you know, we want to be involved.
[01:50:46]  We don't want another president that maybe wouldn't be willing to do what I'm willing to do for the good of the world, for the good of our nation, to be stuck with the situation in five years or ten years from now.
[01:50:57]  So we think they should put a president in or the head of the country in that's going to be able to do something peacefully for a change.
[01:51:04]  They've been doing this for 47 years, killing people for 47 years.
[01:51:09]  Whether it's the barracks or even the SS Cole where they were involved, very strongly, they always denied it.
[01:51:17]  But they were very strongly involved.
[01:51:19]  And all of the people that died through the roadside bombs died and are right now walking around with no legs, no arms, a face that's been so badly damaged.
[01:51:30]  The Iranian regime has been attacking Americans and spreading terror for 47 years.
[01:51:36]  And despite these countless opportunities to renounce their nuclear ambitions, which they had just a short while ago, they told Mr. Witkoff, who is standing right over here, they said, they actually said, we want to keep building.
[01:51:52]  Essentially, in a real nutshell, we want to continue to build nuclear weapons.
[01:51:58]  If we didn't knock out Midnight Hammer, if we didn't knock out their Iranian potential, if we didn't do that with Midnight Hammer, they would have had a nuclear weapon.
[01:52:07]  They would have used it long before now.
[01:52:09]  And at a minimum, Israel would have been annihilated.
[01:52:13]  It was very lucky that we had the courage to do that, that we had the talented pilots and the great equipment.
[01:52:20]  The B-2 bombers are unbelievable.
[01:52:22]  We ordered 25 more, by the way.
[01:52:25]  The newer, better version.
[01:52:28]  It's the greatest military in the world.
[01:52:31]  We have the greatest equipment in the world by far.
[01:52:35]  You see that no matter where we go.
[01:52:37]  You still need the people, though, to operate it and to use it.
[01:52:41]  And those are the people that we cherish.
[01:52:43]  Even after we obliterated their key nuclear sites in Operation Midnight Hammer, they never negotiated in good faith.
[01:52:51]  They still continued to say we want to build nuclear, we want enrichment at levels that were unacceptable.
[01:52:58]  And they turned out an offer for unlimited free nuclear fuel forever for civilian purposes.
[01:53:05]  We had people offering them free nuclear fuel.
[01:53:10]  They weren't interested in that because they wanted to build a nuclear weapon.
[01:53:14]  So instead, the regime was trying to reconstitute its weapons program at a different site.
[01:53:20]  They couldn't go back to where they were, the three sites that we obliterated.
[01:53:25]  But they were starting work at another site, a different site, different kind of a site.
[01:53:30]  And that was protected by granite.
[01:53:33]  They wanted it protected.
[01:53:34]  Granite's pretty good, but they wanted it protected by a lot deeper.
[01:53:40]  They wanted to go a lot deeper.
[01:53:41]  When they started the process, while rapidly building conventional ballistic missiles, they were going to do it all at the same time that threatened our overseas bases and soon could have reached even our homeland.
[01:53:55]  The regime's intention was to use this exponentially growing ballistic missile threat to make it virtually impossible to prevent them from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
[01:54:05]  So, as you probably saw, they had a tremendous number of missiles, most of which are now being used or destroyed and very unsuccessfully used because we have been able, for the most part, to shoot them all down.
[01:54:20]  What incredible technology the Patriots have been unbelievable and other things.
[01:54:26]  And the laser technology that we have now is incredible.
[01:54:29]  It's coming out pretty soon.
[01:54:31]  We're literally lasers will do the work of, at a lot less cost, do the work of what the Patriots are doing or what other things are doing.
[01:54:40]  The situation was very quickly approaching.
[01:54:43]  The point of no return, and the United States found it intolerable, in my opinion, based on what Steve and Jared and Pete and others were telling me, Marco, so involved, that I thought that they were going to attack us.
[01:54:58]  I thought they would, if we didn't do this at the time we did it, I think they had in mind to attack us.
[01:55:03]  And if you notice, they did something which was very foolish, very stupid, I would say.
[01:55:08]  They attacked their neighbors.
[01:55:10]  And their neighbors were largely neutral, or at least weren't going to be involved.
[01:55:17]  And they got attacked.
[01:55:19]  And it had the reverse effect.
[01:55:21]  The neighbors came onto our side and started attacking them.
[01:55:26]  And actually, quite successfully.
[01:55:28]  If you look at Saudi Arabia, you look at UAE, Qatar, and others, but they were strong and they were smart.
[01:55:38]  Nobody, when I first heard it, I said, no, somebody made a mistake.
[01:55:43]  There was no mistake.
[01:55:44]  UAE had over a thousand missiles shot at it, knocked them almost all down.
[01:55:51]  On the very first day I came down the escalator in 2015, I said, quote, I will stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
[01:55:59]  And all I'm doing is keeping my promise.
[01:56:02]  Think of that.
[01:56:02]  That was in 2015.
[01:56:04]  I said it.
[01:56:05]  It was a threat then and a much bigger threat now, but no longer a threat, not for a long time anyway.
[01:56:12]  We want to keep it that way.
[01:56:13]  As we continue Operation Epic Fury, we're also focused on keeping energy and oil flowing to the world.
[01:56:22]  And I will not allow a terrorist regime to hold the world hostage and attempt to stop the globe's oil supply.
[01:56:28]  And if Iran does anything to do that, they'll get hit at a much, much harder level.
[01:56:33]  I will take out those targets that were easy and that I mentioned just before.
[01:56:38]  We'll take them out so quickly, they'll never be able to recover ever.
[01:56:42]  If they want to play that game, they better not play that game.
[01:56:45]  In the long run, oil supplies will be dramatically more secure without the threat of Iranian ships, drones, missiles, nuclear menace, or anything.
[01:56:56]  So the Strait of Hormuz is going to remain safe.
[01:57:01]  We have a lot of Navy ships there.
[01:57:03]  We have the best equipment in the world, inspecting for mines.
[01:57:09]  Again, most of their ships are down at the bottom of the sea.
[01:57:12]  But we will hit them so hard that it will not be possible for them or anybody else helping them to ever recover that section of the world if they do anything.
[01:57:23]  In recent years, the regime and its terror proxies have launched attacks on hundreds of commercial vessels.
[01:57:31]  We're putting an end to all of this threat once and for all, and the result will be lower oil prices, oil and gas prices for American families.
[01:57:41]  We've done that.
[01:57:41]  We've done it.
[01:57:42]  We brought it very low.
[01:57:43]  This was just an excursion into something that had to be done.
[01:57:47]  We're getting very close to finishing that too.
[01:57:49]  In the meantime, during this brief disruption, the United States is offering political risk insurance to any tankers operating in the Gulf.
[01:57:57]  So we're putting up risk insurance.
[01:58:00]  We'll perhaps go alongside of them for protection.
[01:58:06]  We don't think it'll be necessary if it is.
[01:58:09]  And if they do anything, the price will be incalculable.
[01:58:14]  It will be so great that they will have wished they never did it because you have to keep the straits flowing.
[01:58:22]  With all of that, it affects other countries much more than it does the United States.
[01:58:26]  It doesn't really affect us.
[01:58:27]  We have so much oil.
[01:58:28]  We have tremendous oil and gas, much more than we need.
[01:58:32]  We have Venezuela now as our new partner, great partner.
[01:58:36]  They've worked out so wonderful.
[01:58:38]  We're working with the administration, the president, and it's a massive source of oil, gas, everything.
[01:58:48]  But we're in a very good position, but very unfair to other parts of the world, like China as an example.
[01:58:56]  I mean, we're doing this for the other parts of the world, including countries like China.
[01:59:00]  They get a lot of their oil through the straits.
[01:59:05]  So we're doing this.
[01:59:05]  We have a very good relationship with President Qi and China.
[01:59:08]  I'm going there in a short period of time.
[01:59:11]  And we're protecting the world from what these lunatics are trying to do.
[01:59:18]  And very successfully, I might add.
[01:59:20]  We're also waiving certain oil-related sanctions to reduce prices.
[01:59:25]  So we have sanctions on some countries.
[01:59:27]  We're going to take those sanctions off until this straightens out.
[01:59:31]  Then who knows, maybe we won't have to put them on.
[01:59:33]  There'll be so much peace.
[01:59:35]  But when the time comes, the U.S. Navy and its partners will escort tankers through the strait if needed.
[01:59:40]  I hope it's not going to be needed, but if it's needed, we'll escort them right through.
[01:59:45]  And we have the greatest mind-sweeping ability.
[01:59:48]  We have the greatest ships and all of the, we know exactly where they're placed.
[01:59:52]  We'll get them out of there very fast, but we hope we don't have any of that.
[01:59:56]  And again, if they do that, if they play that game, we're going to hit them at a level that they have not seen before.
[02:00:02]  So we're winning very decisively.
[02:00:06]  We're way ahead of schedule.
[02:00:10]  Our military is the greatest in the world with the greatest equipment.
[02:00:13]  They're the greatest people in the world.
[02:00:15]  Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
[02:00:17]  Iran is a very powerful country.
[02:00:19]  They were going to take over the Middle East.
[02:00:21]  If we did not hit them, they were going to take over the Middle East.
[02:00:25]  They had thousands and thousands since their last hit.
[02:00:29]  They had thousands and thousands of missiles and everything else.
[02:00:33]  Most are now destroyed.
[02:00:35]  But they were going to take over the Middle East.
[02:00:37]  Those weapons were aimed at Middle Eastern countries that had nothing to do with this.
[02:00:43]  They were going to take over the Middle East and they were going to try and destroy Israel.
[02:00:47]  So we stopped it with good timing.
[02:00:50]  And we're very proud to be involved in this.
[02:00:53]  And it's going to be ended soon.
[02:00:56]  And if it starts up again, they'll be hit even harder.
[02:01:01]  Thank you very much for being here.
[02:01:03]  Go ahead.
[02:01:03]  Any questions?
[02:01:05]  Thank you.
[02:01:06]  Thank you so much.
[02:01:08]  Do you approve of Iran's new supreme leader?
[02:01:11]  And secondly, can you tell us more about your call with Russian President Vladimir Putin today?
[02:01:17]  What did you discuss?
[02:01:18]  Yes, I had a very good call with President Putin.
[02:01:21]  We had a lot of people on the line from our side, from his side.
[02:01:25]  We were talking about Ukraine, which is just a never-ending fight.
[02:01:30]  And when, look, there's tremendous hatred between President Putin and President Zelensky.
[02:01:36]  They can't seem to get it together.
[02:01:39]  But I think it was a positive call on that subject.
[02:01:42]  And we obviously talked then about the Middle East.
[02:01:45]  And he wants to be helpful.
[02:01:49]  I said, you could be more helpful by getting the Ukraine-Russia war over with.

=== Putin Call and Iran Leadership (05:03) ===

[02:01:53]  That would be more helpful.
[02:01:55]  But we had a very good talk, and he wants to be very constructive.
[02:01:58]  Yeah.
[02:02:01]  Yeah, please.
[02:02:03]  Thank you, Mr. President.
[02:02:04]  On Iran, you called it an excursion.
[02:02:06]  You said it would be over soon.
[02:02:07]  Are you thinking this week it will be over?
[02:02:09]  No.
[02:02:10]  Talking about days?
[02:02:11]  I think so.
[02:02:11]  Okay.
[02:02:12]  And with respect. Very soon.
[02:02:13]  Look, everything they have is gone, including their leadership.
[02:02:18]  In fact, there are two levels of leadership, and even actually, as it turns out, more than that, but two levels of leadership are gone.
[02:02:25]  Most people have never even heard about the leaders that they're talking about.
[02:02:30]  It's obviously been very, very powerful, very effective.
[02:02:34]  With respect to Cuba, you said that Cuba wants to make a deal.
[02:02:38]  What would the United States get in return for that?
[02:02:41]  And why should Americans trust Marco Rubio to negotiate it?
[02:02:44]  Well, Marco Rubio is doing a great job.
[02:02:47]  I think he's going to go down as the greatest Secretary of State in history.
[02:02:51]  Look at what we've done as a presidency.
[02:02:54]  Look at what we've done as an administration.
[02:02:57]  They trust Marco, and so do the American people trust.
[02:03:03]  He's been successful no matter where he's been.
[02:03:05]  He also speaks the language, which is always nice and always helpful.
[02:03:09]  But he's dealing, and it may be a friendly takeover.
[02:03:13]  It may not be a friendly takeover.
[02:03:15]  It wouldn't matter because they're really in, they're down to, as they say, fumes.
[02:03:22]  They have no energy.
[02:03:24]  They have no money.
[02:03:27]  They're in deep trouble on a humanitarian basis.
[02:03:31]  And we don't want to see that.
[02:03:33]  But they were very, very bad to a lot of people, as you know.
[02:03:36]  And a lot of people living are the Cuban-American vote, which I got at record levels.
[02:03:43]  Very important.
[02:03:44]  Those people are very important to me.
[02:03:46]  I know what they went through.
[02:03:47]  They went through hell.
[02:03:48]  Some of them have gone on to be some of them successful.
[02:03:51]  Cuban-American business people, some of them are like the most successful in the country.
[02:03:58]  And a lot of them are friends of mine because I've been fighting this battle with them for a long time.
[02:04:02]  The Castro regime was brutal, but they lived off Venezuela.
[02:04:06]  Now they don't live off.
[02:04:07]  Venezuela sends them no energy, no fuel, no oil, no money, no nothing.
[02:04:13]  They lived without Venezuela.
[02:04:14]  They couldn't have made it.
[02:04:15]  And we cut them off from everything else.
[02:04:18]  So yeah, they're going to make either a deal or we'll do it just as easy anyway.
[02:04:25]  Yeah.
[02:04:27]  Please.
[02:04:27]  Go ahead.
[02:04:29]  There's footage that shows an American missile strike and a tomahawk missile likely destroyed that Iranian girls' school.
[02:04:38]  So will the Americans, will the U.S. accept any responsibility?
[02:04:41]  Well, I haven't seen it.
[02:04:43]  And I will say that the tomahawk, which is one of the most powerful weapons around, is used by, you know, is sold and used by other countries, you know that.
[02:04:52]  And whether it's Iran, who also has some tomahawks, they wish they had more.
[02:04:58]  But whether it's Iran or somebody else, the fact that a tomahawk, a tomahawk is very generic.
[02:05:02]  It's sold to other countries.
[02:05:05]  But that's being investigated right now.
[02:05:09]  Yeah, please.
[02:05:10]  Thank you.
[02:05:11]  Thank you.
[02:05:12]  Mr. President, you've said the war is, quote, very complete, but your defense secretary says this is just the beginning.
[02:05:18]  So which is it?
[02:05:19]  And how long should Americans be?
[02:05:20]  Well, I think you could say both.
[02:05:22]  The beginning.
[02:05:23]  It's the beginning of building a new country.
[02:05:25]  But they certainly, they have no Navy.
[02:05:27]  They have no Air Force.
[02:05:29]  They have no anti-aircraft equipment.
[02:05:33]  It's all been blown up.
[02:05:34]  They have no radar.
[02:05:35]  They have no telecommunications.
[02:05:38]  And they have no leadership.
[02:05:39]  It's all gone.
[02:05:41]  So, you know, you could look at that statement.
[02:05:44]  We could call it a tremendous success right now.
[02:05:47]  As we leave here, I could call it, or we could go further, and we're going to go further.
[02:05:53]  But the big risk on that war has been over for three days.
[02:06:00]  We wiped them out in the first two days.
[02:06:03]  When you think about it, it's incredible.
[02:06:06]  We wiped out a big Navy, very powerful Navy.
[02:06:10]  You know, these were ships.
[02:06:11]  These were serious ships.
[02:06:12]  These were ships that you buy when you want to win battles.
[02:06:17]  They're all on the bottom floor.
[02:06:18]  The sailors are all running off their ships.
[02:06:20]  They refuse to get on the ships.
[02:06:23]  The Air Force is gone.
[02:06:24]  Everything's gone.
[02:06:25]  The missiles are down to a trickle.
[02:06:27]  The drones are down to probably 25%.
[02:06:31]  And they'll soon be down to nothing.
[02:06:33]  We'll have the way they manufacture the drones are under fire.
[02:06:37]  As we speak, they're being hit.
[02:06:40]  So the rest is going to be a determination as to my attitude, along with the people in the Trump administration, what we want to do.
[02:06:48]  Thank you.
[02:06:51]  Yeah, please.
[02:06:53]  Can I ask you?
[02:06:53]  You mentioned you were going to waive certain additional oil waivers or sanctions.

=== Military Success and Peace (13:09) ===

[02:06:57]  Can you talk a little bit more about that and address in particular?
[02:07:00]  Well, we're looking to keep the oil prices down.
[02:07:02]  We went artificially up because of this excursion into a very positive thing.
[02:07:08]  I mean, this was an excursion that a lot of people wouldn't have done.
[02:07:11]  I knew oil prices would go up if I did this, and they've gone up probably less than I thought they'd go up.
[02:07:18]  But I don't think anybody thought we were going to be this quickly successful.
[02:07:21]  This was a military success, the likes of which people haven't seen.
[02:07:27]  We have the best military.
[02:07:28]  We have the best equipment.
[02:07:30]  We have, I believe, the best generals.
[02:07:34]  We have the best.
[02:07:35]  And this went very quickly.
[02:07:39]  We talked about that with President Putin.
[02:07:41]  He was very impressed with what he saw because nobody's ever seen anything quite like it.
[02:07:46]  You know, Iran was a very powerful military country with all of the missiles.
[02:07:51]  Now, you had the double attack.
[02:07:53]  You had the original attack with us in Israel, and that knocked them for a loop.
[02:07:57]  Then you had the B-2 bombers, which took out their nuclear capability, and they would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks to four weeks.
[02:08:05]  And they would have used it long before this press conference.
[02:08:09]  And we might have had a much different press conference if we had a press conference at all.
[02:08:14]  But it's been amazing.
[02:08:17]  The military success that we've had is truly unprecedented.
[02:08:25]  You said you've told your congressional colleagues that you will not sign any piece of legislation until the Save America Act is passed.
[02:08:31]  Does that include the confirmation of Senator Mullen as your next DHS secretary?
[02:08:35]  Does that mean a DHS funding bill?
[02:08:37]  And Senator Thun said today, it's not a matter of whether or not your Republican colleagues agree with the policy.
[02:08:43]  It's about changing the process.
[02:08:44]  In other words, getting rid of the filibuster to get so in order to get it, you're going to need Democrat votes.
[02:08:49]  And what we're saying is the Save America, not the Save Act, which nobody knew what it was, the Save America Act.
[02:08:56]  The Save America Act.
[02:08:59]  And that's voter ID.
[02:09:01]  We want voter ID.
[02:09:03]  We want to be able to see a picture of the voter.
[02:09:06]  We want to be able to see that the voter is legitimate.
[02:09:09]  We want, very importantly, confirmation that this voter is a citizen of the United States of America.
[02:09:17]  And we want no mail-in ballot scams.
[02:09:21]  So we have exceptions for the military, for sick, for disabled, and for people that are away, business trips or whatever.
[02:09:31]  Even vacations will be very liberal in that.
[02:09:34]  We've added two things to it: no men and women sports and no transgender mutilization of our children.
[02:09:41]  We don't want our mutilization of our children, and we don't want that.
[02:09:47]  So we added those two things.
[02:09:48]  That's the five points.
[02:09:49]  We have five very good points.
[02:09:53]  It polls at 86% with Democrats.
[02:09:57]  Think of that.
[02:09:58]  The overall vote is 86%.
[02:10:01]  With Republicans, it's 98%.
[02:10:04]  And the only one opposed to it is a Democrat leadership because they cheat.
[02:10:09]  They want to cheat.
[02:10:10]  So we added those two points.
[02:10:11]  We're going for the gold, and we're going to have to fight like hell.
[02:10:15]  Now, certain things will happen.
[02:10:18]  Certain things will take place.
[02:10:19]  I'm here to do a great job for the country.
[02:10:22]  But we don't have a country if we're going to have elections that are so corrupt and so dishonest like we've witnessed over the last period of time.
[02:10:32]  You know, as an example, few, I mean, virtually, nobody has like we, nobody has a system of mail-in ballots like we have.
[02:10:44]  No other country in the world.
[02:10:45]  France went away from it.
[02:10:47]  They all went, you know why?
[02:10:48]  Because it's corrupt.
[02:10:49]  And Jimmy Carter, when he had a commission, frankly, I think it's probably the best thing Jimmy Carter did.
[02:10:54]  He said, you can't have mail-in voting because it's inherently dishonest.
[02:10:59]  And it's turned out to be totally dishonest.
[02:11:01]  So we're going to fight for it.
[02:11:02]  Mr. President.
[02:11:04]  Thank you so much for taking our questions.
[02:11:05]  Has Iran activated any sleeper cells inside the U.S.?
[02:11:10]  There's reports that they have pressed that trigger button to activate those cells, at least abroad.
[02:11:15]  Well, they've been trying for a long time.
[02:11:17]  We've been very much on top of it.
[02:11:20]  One of the things we have to do is get the Democrats to stop the Democrat shutdown because, as you know, the apparatus that looks into that, Schumer and the Democrats have shut it down, which tells you they probably hate our country a lot.
[02:11:34]  But the Democrats have to open that up.
[02:11:36]  But we've got very, very good intelligence into that.
[02:11:39]  We know a lot of different things that have happened that have been very bad.
[02:11:43]  A lot of them came in during the Biden open border period, but we have them under, we've got them, we're watching every single one of them.
[02:11:55]  Yeah, we know a lot about them.
[02:11:57]  The biggest problem we have is the Democrat shutdown.
[02:12:00]  We know a lot about them, but the shutdown doesn't allow us to do what we have to do.
[02:12:07]  Do you have to take him out?
[02:12:09]  Does he have a target on his badge?
[02:12:10]  You mean the new Supreme Leader?
[02:12:12]  You mean the sun?
[02:12:13]  How can there be an Iran?
[02:12:14]  Well, I don't want to say that, but I was disappointed because we think it's going to lead to just more of the same problem for the country.
[02:12:23]  So I was disappointed to see their choice in leadership, if not the Ayatollah's son.
[02:12:34]  What are you looking for in that person?
[02:12:36]  Are you looking at someone internal, given that you just said that their leadership has been dynamic?
[02:12:39]  I like the idea of internal and eternal, come to think of it.
[02:12:45]  But I like the idea of internal because it works well.
[02:12:50]  I mean, I think we've proven that so far in Venezuela.
[02:12:53]  We have a woman, Delsi, who has been president of the country, very respected, very doing a great job.
[02:13:02]  And it's, you know, no disruption.
[02:13:04]  We had, as you remember, Iraq, where everybody got fired.
[02:13:09]  The military got fired.
[02:13:10]  The police got fired.
[02:13:12]  The politicians got fired.
[02:13:14]  There was nobody.
[02:13:15]  And you know what?
[02:13:16]  They turned into ISIS.
[02:13:18]  And we don't want that.
[02:13:19]  We don't want that.
[02:13:20]  So I would like to see people that are inside go.
[02:13:24]  Now they talk about the son of the shah.
[02:13:27]  They talk about other people.
[02:13:29]  But, you know, hasn't been there in many many years.
[02:13:33]  We have a formula that's been very good so far.
[02:13:37]  And I think it'll continue to be good.
[02:13:39]  The relationship is extraordinary with Venezuela, smart country.
[02:13:43]  We've taken out 100 million barrels of oil right now in Houston being taken care of and made so beautiful.
[02:13:54]  And you have to see this at work.
[02:13:56]  They have, it's brought to the refineries.
[02:13:59]  It's being refined in Houston, which is made exactly for that product.
[02:14:05]  And so far, but it's 100 million barrels of oil.
[02:14:09]  And now they have another 100 million barrels coming.
[02:14:12]  And it's like a partnership.
[02:14:14]  We're getting along so well with them.
[02:14:17]  It's great for Venezuela and it's great for the United States.
[02:14:22]  Yeah, please go ahead.
[02:14:23]  Hi, Mr. President.
[02:14:25]  You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war.
[02:14:31]  But you're the only person in your government saying this.
[02:14:33]  Even your defense secretary wouldn't say that when he was asked, standing over your shoulder on your plane on Saturday.
[02:14:39]  Why are you the only person saying this?
[02:14:40]  Because I just don't know enough about it.
[02:14:42]  I think it's something that I was told is under investigation.
[02:14:46]  But tomahawks are used by others, as you know.
[02:14:51]  Numerous other nations have tomahawks.
[02:14:53]  They buy them from us.
[02:14:55]  But I will certainly, whatever the report shows, I'm willing to live with that report.
[02:15:00]  Yeah, please.
[02:15:03]  You said earlier that we've already won in many ways, but we haven't won enough.
[02:15:07]  What do you consider enough?
[02:15:09]  What's your baseline?
[02:15:10]  Where they're not going to be starting the following day to develop a nuclear weapon, where they'll look at that man and some other people from the administration and say, all right, we're not going to do it.
[02:15:22]  They were not willing to say that.
[02:15:25]  And when Steve called up and he said that to me, I said, well, here we go.
[02:15:29]  Let's do it the hard way.
[02:15:31]  But the hard way, I think, is probably the easy way.
[02:15:34]  When basically I can see that they will no longer have any capacity whatsoever for a very long period of time of developing weaponry that could be used against the United States, Israel, or any of our allies.
[02:15:50]  We have great allies in the Middle East, great countries that are allies.
[02:15:55]  And they were staying out of it until they got hit.
[02:15:57]  Someday they'll have to do a story.
[02:15:59]  Why did he do that?
[02:15:59]  Why did they do that?
[02:16:01]  But they were going to hit them.
[02:16:02]  If I didn't hit them first, they were going to hit our allies first.
[02:16:06]  I believe upon information and belief, but I believe that he was going to take over the Middle East.
[02:16:16]  They were looking to take over the Middle East.
[02:16:19]  Now, had Operation Midnight Hammer not taken place, that was definite because they would have had a nuclear weapon within a matter of weeks.
[02:16:30]  But that took place.
[02:16:31]  I was a setback.
[02:16:32]  But look at the number of missiles they were able to buy and make over the last six months.
[02:16:39]  And those missiles were aimed at various countries.
[02:16:42]  And when you look at a thousand over a thousand missiles shot at like UAE, they were looking to take over the Middle East.
[02:16:49]  We got there first.
[02:16:50]  We're lucky.
[02:16:51]  I'll tell you what, the Middle East and those countries, very rich countries, are very lucky that I was president instead of somebody else.
[02:16:59]  Mr. President, are there any points of disagreement between yourself and your vice president when it comes to U.S. action in Iran?
[02:17:06]  I don't think so.
[02:17:06]  No, no, we get along very well on this.
[02:17:09]  He was, I would say, philosophically a little bit different than me.
[02:17:15]  I think he was maybe less enthusiastic about going, but he was quite enthusiastic.
[02:17:24]  But I felt it was something we had to do.
[02:17:27]  I didn't feel we had a choice.
[02:17:28]  If we didn't do it, they would have done it to us.
[02:17:31]  I felt based on the negotiations that were being had by Steve Woodcoff and Jared Kushner and Marco and Pete and everybody was involved.
[02:17:40]  I felt that they were going to that they were looking to tap us along before they hit.
[02:17:45]  And I thought they were going to hit.
[02:17:46]  And if they hit us first, that would have been a very bad thing.
[02:17:49]  In the back, please?
[02:17:50]  In the back?
[02:17:52]  Sir, say you're considering seizing the straight.
[02:17:56]  Is there a time behind that?
[02:17:59]  About the strait, you mean?
[02:18:01]  Yeah, well, I want to keep it open.
[02:18:03]  I want to keep it good.
[02:18:04]  You know, it doesn't pertain to us so much as it does to China.
[02:18:08]  We're really helping China here and other countries because they get a lot of their energy from the straits.
[02:18:17]  But, hey, look, we have a good relationship with China.
[02:18:19]  It's my honor to do it.
[02:18:20]  Yeah.
[02:18:24]  You have called him an unacceptable choice.
[02:18:27]  So does he have a target on his back?
[02:18:28]  And how can you?
[02:18:29]  I don't want to say whether or not he does because that would be inappropriate.
[02:18:32]  But hey, look, I had a target on my back because, as you people wrote pretty well, they caught the assassin that was after me.
[02:18:42]  So we just got them first.
[02:18:43]  But they caught the assassin.
[02:18:45]  They have him now in custody that was after me.
[02:18:47]  So, you know, but people don't like to mention that, but they did catch him.
[02:18:52]  And I'd like to congratulate our military, Secret Service, FBI, all of the people that worked on that, but they did.
[02:18:58]  Yeah, please.
[02:18:59]  The war is almost over that we leave.
[02:19:02]  Go ahead.
[02:19:02]  No, go ahead, please.
[02:19:03]  Thank you, Mr. President.
[02:19:04]  You promised the Iranian people you would help them, but it sounds like you're willing to end this fight after your military objectives have wrapped up.
[02:19:11]  Isn't that a betrayal?
[02:19:12]  Will I help them?
[02:19:13]  I'd like to, if they can behave, but they've been very menacing.
[02:19:18]  You know, they're great people.
[02:19:20]  They have an amazing population.
[02:19:23]  It's amazing, smart, brilliant, energetic.
[02:19:27]  They have a great, I'd love to help them, but they have to be in a system that allows them to be helped.
[02:19:33]  And right now, they're in a system that only allows failure.
[02:19:36]  And I don't want that.
[02:19:38]  And I want a system that's not going to be attacking us.
[02:19:41]  We want a system that can lead to many years of peace.
[02:19:45]  And if we can't have that, we might as well get it over with right now.
[02:19:48]  Yeah, please.
[02:19:49]  Mr. President, as of today, there have been eight U.S. military fatalities associated with the war in Iran.
[02:19:55]  How many American deaths are you willing to have in this war?
[02:20:00]  Well, as I said before, when you have conflicts like this, you always have death.

=== Protecting Wealth With Gold (06:40) ===

[02:20:06]  And I was at Dover yesterday.
[02:20:08]  I met the parents, and they were unbelievable people.
[02:20:11]  They were unbelievable people, but they all had one thing in common.
[02:20:14]  They said to me one thing every single one: finish the job, sir.
[02:20:18]  Please finish the job.
[02:20:22]  And I'll leave you at that.
[02:20:24]  Thank you very much, everybody.
[02:20:26]  Thank you.
[02:20:28]  Thank you.
[02:20:31]  All right.
[02:20:32]  A lot to unpack there.
[02:20:34]  I want to take the final break of the show and we'll do a brief response to all of that on the other side.
[02:20:41]  You're listening to the Owen Report on the Win Network.
[02:20:46]  All right, guys, what are you doing to protect your wealth?
[02:20:49]  What are you doing to protect your finances?
[02:20:52]  Do you trust having money in the bank?
[02:20:54]  Most people right now don't.
[02:20:56]  Stock market, volatile, going the wrong direction.
[02:20:59]  Crypto, tanking.
[02:21:01]  So what do you want to do?
[02:21:03]  A lot of people, smart people, governments even, they're all getting into precious metals.
[02:21:07]  They're all getting into gold.
[02:21:10]  So maybe you should consider doing the same thing with my friends at Allegiance Gold.
[02:21:16]  You go to protectwithoen.com and you can find out all about their $5,000 in free gold and silver with qualified investments, whether through your 401k, IRA, or savings, they make it simple to move into something real before the next crash, bank runs, whatever might happen.
[02:21:34]  Or you can just give them a call.
[02:21:36]  They want to make sure that you're comfortable.
[02:21:38]  You know exactly the decisions you're making.
[02:21:40]  The call is free.
[02:21:40]  844-790-9191.
[02:21:43]  That's right.
[02:21:43]  Give Allegiance Gold a call.
[02:21:46]  They'd love to talk to you through this process.
[02:21:48]  844-790-9191.
[02:21:53]  The reason why I've partnered with Allegiance Gold is simple.
[02:21:56]  Relationship-driven, A-plus with the Better Business Bureau.
[02:21:59]  Can't have anything less.
[02:22:00]  4.9 stars from all of their real clients, which is nearly 10,000 nationwide.
[02:22:06]  But that $5,000 in free gold and silver with qualified investments, that weight is getting less and less as the run on gold and silver continues to get hotter and the price goes up.
[02:22:18]  So if you're thinking about protecting your wealth, diversifying your wealth for the same concerns everyone else has, go to protectwithoen.com, protectwithowen.com, and talk to our friends at AllegianceGold, protectwithowen.com.

=== Trump Press Conference Nukes (10:08) ===

[02:26:47]  Between the sane and insane, it's the Owen Report with Owen Schroyer.
[02:27:27]  Well, that was a lot to sort through there.
[02:27:32]  A lot to sort through with that Trump press conference.
[02:27:37]  All the major networks picked it up.
[02:27:39]  So that means the White House probably sent out a notification for them to pick it up because it was seemingly rather spur of the moment.
[02:27:50]  And so I would say that that's the White House trying to get this under narrative control.
[02:27:55]  I don't even know if it's worth going into all the things that were said or not.
[02:27:58]  I think we'll find out by the end of the week how much of that was true and how much of it was just outright propaganda.
[02:28:06]  A couple things stick out, though.
[02:28:07]  Now, Trump was actually speaking earlier today as well.
[02:28:11]  And I had a couple clips from that I wasn't going to go to, but now I'm thinking about going to them.
[02:28:17]  May need to do a little bonus time today as we covered the Trump press conference unexpectedly.
[02:28:22]  So basically, you know, it was my assessment from last week that the girl school that was struck was Israeli intelligence given to the United States, either bad intelligence or old intelligence that was given to the United States.
[02:28:46]  It used to be an IRGC base.
[02:28:49]  And Israel either gave intentional bad intelligence to make Trump look bad by bombing a bunch of girls, or it was just old intelligence that wasn't updated that they acted on in this latest war, ended up being a girls' school.
[02:29:08]  But the reason why Trump is saying, oh, everybody has tomahawk missiles is because they recovered a Tomahawk missile that was a United States missile.
[02:29:17]  So the evidence that's actually there on the ground is it was a U.S. missile.
[02:29:26]  Now, they are obviously going with this argument that it wasn't our missile.
[02:29:34]  That's the argument they're going with.
[02:29:36]  I don't know if it's going to work, but I'm not sure what other option they have.
[02:29:40]  They either go with, yeah, it was us.
[02:29:42]  It was an accident.
[02:29:44]  It was a mistake.
[02:29:46]  So now you're admitting you killed 150 girls or whatever the number was, schoolgirls.
[02:29:53]  Or you have to admit it was a bad move by whatever artificial intelligence that they were using.
[02:30:01]  Or you have to admit that it was bad intelligence from Israel.
[02:30:04]  So they wanted to avoid all of those circumstances.
[02:30:07]  And instead, they just went with, that was someone else's Tomahawk missile.
[02:30:11]  So it looks like that's the propaganda they're going with.
[02:30:15]  New leadership, same as the old leadership.
[02:30:17]  Literally, we've spent $10 billion to replace Khamenei with Khamenei.
[02:30:25]  And this one's probably more radical than the father.
[02:30:29]  And so now, well, we didn't get the regime changed.
[02:30:31]  So what are we going to do next?
[02:30:32]  So I don't know.
[02:30:33]  We've won, but we haven't won enough.
[02:30:34]  So a lot of that is repeating from his earlier speaking engagement today, which we do have some clips.
[02:30:39]  I don't know if we're going to get to them.
[02:30:41]  Might save that for tomorrow since I already forced you through a half hour of Trump there.
[02:30:50]  And he goes back to, and this is what drug us into it to begin with, the nuclear weapon red line.
[02:30:57]  Now, obviously, they lied about the initial strike on Fordo taking out their capabilities.
[02:31:06]  Obviously, that was a lie because now they're saying they're weeks away again.
[02:31:14]  So what is true, what is not true?
[02:31:19]  But now what they're doing is they're setting the stage for the next war.
[02:31:22]  So they might draw back at this point and say, okay, you know, we killed a bunch of people.
[02:31:31]  We killed a bunch of innocent people.
[02:31:33]  We destroyed Tehran.
[02:31:34]  We really sent a message.
[02:31:36]  We didn't get the uprising on the streets that we'd wanted.
[02:31:40]  So the Iranian regime is more popular than, let's say, America or Netanyahu's mission and goals in Iran.
[02:31:48]  So they didn't get the natural uprising.
[02:31:50]  They just killed a bunch of people.
[02:31:51]  They ended up with the same leadership, killed a bunch of girls, blew up an oil refinery.
[02:31:57]  So now they just look bad.
[02:31:59]  So they might pull out.
[02:32:00]  They might just say, okay, success.
[02:32:02]  We won.
[02:32:03]  We eliminated any threat that they had to the region and we're going to pull out.
[02:32:07]  Only to come back again in three, four, five months and say, okay, they're developing a nuclear weapon again.
[02:32:14]  Except this time, they'll probably just nuke them.
[02:32:18]  They'll probably just give Iran one last shot and just say, look, what else is there for us to say?
[02:32:26]  You see the agenda.
[02:32:28]  Israel and Israel gets to choose who your next leader is.
[02:32:32]  Israel gets to run your country.
[02:32:33]  You guys aren't allowed to be sovereign.
[02:32:36]  And we got the mind of the American military to force your hand.
[02:32:41]  So, yeah, the propaganda didn't work.
[02:32:43]  They didn't get the public support.
[02:32:44]  They've been telling us a nuke for 47 years.
[02:32:47]  Nobody believes it.
[02:32:47]  It's a total lie.
[02:32:49]  So they might just back off that this round of war didn't work in Iran.
[02:32:55]  So they might back off and then come back in a couple months and say, all right, here's the deal.
[02:33:00]  We're just going to nuke you.
[02:33:01]  So either just lay down your weapons, just lay down, just let us choose who your leader is.
[02:33:06]  Just let us take control of your country, or we're just going to nuke you.
[02:33:10]  So, you know, make your choice.
[02:33:13]  And of course, the big issue: does Iran have a nuclear weapon?
[02:33:17]  Could Iran have a nuclear weapon?
[02:33:18]  Well, are we going to argue that there's not oppression or there's not corruption in China?
[02:33:24]  Why don't we do this to China?
[02:33:25]  Are we going to argue there's not corruption or oppression in North Korea?
[02:33:30]  Are we going to argue these things for all these other countries we claim are bad?
[02:33:33]  Why don't we go and start war with them?
[02:33:35]  Because they have nukes.
[02:33:37]  Why doesn't the world turn on Israel?
[02:33:40]  Because they have nukes.
[02:33:43]  So here's Iran, whether you like their leadership or not, good, bad, and different.
[02:33:48]  Here's Iran standing on its own sovereignty, probably doesn't have nuclear weapons.
[02:33:55]  And they're just saying, hey, you guys are the ones aimed at us.
[02:33:59]  What are we supposed to do?
[02:34:01]  You guys all have nukes aimed at us.
[02:34:03]  We can't have nuclear weapons.
[02:34:04]  No.
[02:34:06]  That logic would not be applied towards any other country or even here domestically.
[02:34:13]  This is your Second Amendment.
[02:34:15]  This is why you don't turn your guns over to the government.
[02:34:18]  It's the same concept, so they might back off.
[02:34:26]  They might actually back off, declare victory, and then just come back in two months, five months, and just say, nope, they want to get another nuke and then just actually do it.
[02:34:37]  Because all the other attempts have failed.
[02:34:41]  And yet they're obviously, they're not going to let this one go.
[02:34:46]  But like I said, as far as the stuff that was discussed in that press conference, I don't think we'll really have a clear understanding about how much of it was just outright propaganda and how much of it might have been somewhat true.
[02:35:01]  So it'll be easier to look back or seeing what happens at the end of the week and then see what's going on.
[02:35:06]  By the way, we were going to get to this at the end of the Epstein coverage, but we got interrupted there.
[02:35:18]  And so I wonder, I can't help but wonder.
[02:35:21]  We heard about all of Epstein's storage units.
[02:35:25]  Community concerned for possible demolition of Northwest Miami-Dade warehouse that caught fire.
[02:35:33]  Authorities also asked anyone with equipment stored in the lot to come pick it up as soon as possible because crews want to start a demolition of the warehouse.
[02:35:41]  It's raising concerns.
[02:35:42]  Well, maybe I'm just a bit of a conspiracy theorist here, a storage warehouse blowing up in the area where Epstein supposedly had a bunch of storage.
[02:35:52]  I don't know.
[02:35:56]  Probably just reaching, but couldn't help it.
[02:35:58]  Couldn't help but wonder.
[02:36:02]  Cuba, protests erupt in Cuba as power outages persist.
[02:36:07]  So they're definitely strangling Cuba right now.
[02:36:10]  I don't know what the extent of our involvement is, but I doubt it's zero.
[02:36:15]  I highly doubt that this is zero, considering everything else.
[02:36:21]  So I don't know what it is they want out of Cuba.
[02:36:23]  Cuban government officials have blamed the conditions on what they describe as a United States fuel blockade affecting the island's ability to secure oil.
[02:36:30]  So in other words, because this Iran is costing us so much, because this Iran war is costing us so much, and because oil prices are going up, we're stealing whatever oil Cuba would normally get access to is what this one sounds like.
[02:36:45]  And then we're just pretending it's some organic uprising when actually it's just us taking their oil.
[02:36:50]  What's new?

=== Texas Seat as a Political Gift (04:18) ===

[02:36:56]  Top Arizona lawmaker says he's compiled.
[02:36:59]  He's complied.
[02:37:00]  Excuse me.
[02:37:01]  Top Arizona lawmaker says he's complied with a subpoena for 2020 election records.
[02:37:06]  Arizona State Senate president says he complied with a subpoena he received last week seeking records from a flawed review of the 2020 election in Maricopa County.
[02:37:16]  So we know that's one of the big steals.
[02:37:18]  So we've seen it in Georgia.
[02:37:21]  We've seen it in Arizona.
[02:37:25]  Are they really honing in on the stolen election?
[02:37:29]  That is the question.
[02:37:30]  Are they really honing in?
[02:37:31]  Now, a gift, a gift was sent to Texas over the weekend as you're starting to see that people are thinking that the Democrats have a shot to win the Senate now.
[02:37:48]  Now, Texas would be one of those seats.
[02:37:52]  And this is Tallarico, who's the Democrat that's going to be running for that Senate seat.
[02:37:58]  Now, I still think that the best shot the Republicans have of maintaining that seat is Paxton.
[02:38:05]  If you go with Cornyn, I don't know.
[02:38:07]  I'm concerned about this guy.
[02:38:09]  And I know, and this is what sometimes both sides seem to forget.
[02:38:15]  But this is something the right seems to be very mismeasured on.
[02:38:18]  They see Democrats say crazy stuff.
[02:38:20]  They see Democrats do crazy stuff.
[02:38:22]  And they're thinking, oh, well, that's it.
[02:38:24]  They can never be elected.
[02:38:25]  And it's like, you know, that you can think they're crazy.
[02:38:28]  Maybe they are.
[02:38:28]  You can think they're wrong.
[02:38:29]  Maybe they are.
[02:38:30]  But some people still support this.
[02:38:32]  You know, Americans think differently than you.
[02:38:34]  It's true.
[02:38:35]  They vote differently than you.
[02:38:37]  They think differently than you.
[02:38:39]  They believe different things than you do.
[02:38:41]  This is a reality of our political situation.
[02:38:43]  And so you have to actually act in that reality, not some bubble where you think a Democrat is crazy that, oh, everybody thinks that.
[02:38:49]  So we're fine.
[02:38:50]  It's not how this works.
[02:38:52]  Now, Tallrico is a good example because I'm saying, hey, look, this guy could be a real threat.
[02:38:57]  They say, well, look at him.
[02:38:58]  He's like a soyboy.
[02:38:58]  Look, he says all the leftist stuff.
[02:39:00]  Yeah, people like that crap.
[02:39:02]  In case you haven't noticed, liberals like liberal bullshit.
[02:39:06]  But this one could cost him.
[02:39:08]  I think Texas was just sent a gift.
[02:39:11]  And thank goodness.
[02:39:12]  Now, I'd still say we need Cornyn to drop out to make sure that we can keep Texas red, but we may have just been sent a gift.
[02:39:21]  I don't know if you can say something like this and fully recover.
[02:39:24]  This is a bad one.
[02:39:25]  So this is Democrat Senate candidate over the weekend goes on a podcast and says the unthinkable.
[02:39:30]  Something that you love that's not family or friends.
[02:39:34]  Um, I love, I'm just saying this because it's on my mind, the trans children who showed up yesterday at the state capitol to advocate for their humanity.
[02:39:45]  They shouldn't have to, but it was an inspiration to watch.
[02:39:49]  Something that you love.
[02:39:51]  He loves trans children.
[02:39:53]  He's thinking of trans children.
[02:39:56]  Wow.
[02:39:59]  We might be able to stave off another, another, another potential disaster here.
[02:40:07]  Wow.
[02:40:08]  You might have been able to get away with that in California.
[02:40:13]  You might have been able to get away with that somewhere else.
[02:40:15]  I think that that one cost him.
[02:40:18]  That one will get replayed in the campaign, and people want nothing to do with the trans kid stuff anymore.
[02:40:25]  Nothing.
[02:40:27]  So thank goodness.
[02:40:29]  He was building a lot of momentum.
[02:40:32]  And all of a sudden, people are looking at the Senate seat in Texas and kind of saying, oh, well, maybe.
[02:40:39]  But now he just comes out and says he loves trans kids.
[02:40:42]  They're always on his mind.
[02:40:43]  So, all right.
[02:40:46]  That's a that's a shot.
[02:40:47]  That's a shot of life.
[02:40:48]  That's you're down five points in you're down five at least in the polls after saying something like that.
[02:40:54]  I mean, good lord, lordy with a statement like that.
[02:41:00]  All right.
[02:41:02]  Let's get some other odds and ends out of the way here before we go into the super chat.
[02:41:06]  We'll do a little bonus time, I think, for the super chat.
[02:41:08]  Did you know this?
[02:41:11]  There's going to be, they just announced this.

=== Trump's Kentucky Campaign Tragedy (03:24) ===

[02:41:14]  Let me see here.
[02:41:15]  Looking at this coming together, I'm going to ask our team in the control room: are we ready to take this live?
[02:41:20]  Let's do it.
[02:41:26]  So you'll be seeing a lot of that.
[02:41:28]  In fact, the monumental sports folks have been gracious enough to have that being in their building for the next few months.
[02:41:35]  So you'll be seeing a lot of the sporting events as well.
[02:41:37]  So there's a steering wheel.
[02:41:40]  There you go.
[02:41:40]  Exactly.
[02:41:41]  Exactly.
[02:41:42]  Well, thank you for it.
[02:41:43]  Now we'll get on to the remarks here.
[02:41:45]  So they're going to do a Freedom 250 Grand Prix in downtown Washington, D.C. Part of the 250 celebration.
[02:41:57]  So, all right, a little more bread and circus for you, right?
[02:42:02]  A little more 250 bread and circus.
[02:42:04]  We all like the 250 bread and circus coming to town.
[02:42:10]  I don't see a date on it.
[02:42:14]  Let's see here.
[02:42:15]  I still don't see a date on it.
[02:42:17]  Well, all right.
[02:42:18]  So you got the 250 UFC fight.
[02:42:22]  You got the 250 fair.
[02:42:24]  You got the 250 Grand Prix now.
[02:42:31]  Grand Prix, the 250 Grand Prix.
[02:42:34]  So happening this week, Trump is going to be campaigning, I believe.
[02:42:39]  Are they going to actually send him there?
[02:42:40]  I don't know.
[02:42:42]  They're campaigning hard right now.
[02:42:44]  They're going to Thomas Massey's district.
[02:42:47]  Massey posted this.
[02:42:49]  The stakes just went up.
[02:42:50]  They're bringing Air Force One to Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky next week.
[02:42:54]  I'm not intimidated.
[02:42:55]  This just means we'll need to work even harder.
[02:42:57]  Can you help?
[02:42:58]  Trump to visit Kentucky amid Thomas Massey primary.
[02:43:02]  We'll see if he makes it.
[02:43:06]  Can you imagine sending Trump to Thomas Massey's district to try to defeat him and then not defeating him?
[02:43:15]  I don't see how you defeat Massey in his district.
[02:43:18]  I really don't.
[02:43:18]  And if you do, what a tragedy.
[02:43:23]  Honestly, if Trump goes to Kentucky to defeat Thomas Massey, that will be one of the biggest political tragedies for conservatives I think we've ever seen.
[02:43:35]  And that is saying a lot.
[02:43:37]  And I'm not talking about policy, right?
[02:43:40]  Let's forget about policy.
[02:43:41]  I mean, just like a supposed right-wing Republican conservative politician, just stabbing conservatism in the back, just stabbing one of the lone conservatives we have in Congress, just stabbing it in the back, just sitting right there for all of us to see.
[02:43:59]  Yeah, true conservatism is dead on the Republican Party.
[02:44:04]  And any true conservatives that are left, we will destroy you.
[02:44:09]  We will destroy you.
[02:44:12]  We will send Trump to your district and we will destroy you.
[02:44:15]  Thomas Massey, the highest voting grade for conservatism, for freedom, for liberty in Washington, D.C. Thomas Massey, one of the true principal conservatives left in Congress.
[02:44:29]  And this is who Trump wants to take out because he got the Epstein files to get declassified.
[02:44:35]  An issue Trump ran on.

=== Declassified Files and DMT Dimensions (04:37) ===

[02:44:39]  So that's what this is.
[02:44:40]  This is a personal vendetta for Trump, who begged Massey not to do this.
[02:44:46]  Massey did it anyway.
[02:44:48]  And so now Trump is following through on his threats to destroy him politically over the Epstein files.
[02:44:59]  Wow.
[02:45:00]  That's a crazy one.
[02:45:05]  Some people see aliens on DMT.
[02:45:08]  Researchers want to find out what they can teach us.
[02:45:13]  What?
[02:45:13]  A new psychedelic retreat, calling itself a SETI for the mind, aims to establish a two-way communication with the non-human entities people encounter while tripping on DMT.
[02:45:28]  Well, if that's possible, the government's already doing it.
[02:45:31]  These satanic shadow groups are already doing it.
[02:45:36]  A web of EEG electrodes covered Anton Bilton's scalp like a jeweled headdress.
[02:45:44]  Listen to this buildup.
[02:45:46]  The machine would map his brain activity while the potent psychedelic DMT cursed through an IV drip and into his bloodstream.
[02:45:56]  This is so crazy to read this because this is like deep-cut, declassified stuff that used to sound crazy when you talk about it, but it's all true.
[02:46:10]  And it's, you know, let's just say it's well known in the DMT community how this stuff works, but everything is so momentary.
[02:46:23]  It's like, let's say you're traveling through the dimensions.
[02:46:27]  You're on DMT, you're traveling through the dimensions.
[02:46:31]  Only, I don't want to say habitual, but people that use DMT commonly, they're the only ones that can actually perceive the multi-levels of the dimensions.
[02:46:43]  Most people that just use it once or twice casually or something, it's like they can't even, you know, you can't even really comprehend what just went on.
[02:46:51]  It's like if somebody's never drank before and they take 10 shots, like they're done versus somebody that drinks every day and takes 10 shots, it's normal.
[02:46:59]  But it's kind of a reverse thing.
[02:47:01]  So, what they're trying to do here is they're trying to perfect through an IV drip how to keep you in one of these dimensions that you go through while you're on DMT.
[02:47:16]  Now, it's all perception.
[02:47:17]  It's all in your brain.
[02:47:18]  That's why they're measuring it out.
[02:47:19]  And it's funny because I think that the movie Flatliners, it kind of takes a different route to this, but it's all the same practice.
[02:47:28]  It's like, how do we study the brain's chemistry or how do we study the brain while it's on DMT and you're supposedly seeing these different dimensions?
[02:47:38]  So that's what they're trying to do.
[02:47:39]  Now, this has already been done.
[02:47:41]  The U.S. government has been doing this for years.
[02:47:43]  They've done it with multiple drugs.
[02:47:46]  But the one difference that they find with DMT is that there seems to be some sort of a universal vision in that there isn't, there's some levels that aren't hallucinations.
[02:47:59]  So, like, whatever, you take acid, you take one of these other drugs, like it's known you're hallucinating.
[02:48:04]  These things aren't there.
[02:48:06]  Everybody that takes it sees something different.
[02:48:08]  They've come to find that when they do these DMT courses, people see the same thing.
[02:48:14]  They can actually see the exact same thing.
[02:48:17]  So they're saying, well, there's something there.
[02:48:18]  It's not a hallucination.
[02:48:20]  There's actually something there.
[02:48:22]  But it's like you're able to see or communicate with these things for like 30 seconds max, let's say.
[02:48:27]  So they're trying to find a way to time it out in perfection where you can sit there and have a conversation with one of these beings and you're not just like flying through space and time like a normal DMT trip would be.
[02:48:39]  So this is a, but again, this is all old stuff.
[02:48:42]  This is stuff they've been doing since the 60s, since the 70s.
[02:48:47]  And then my guess is it's part of these rituals that you hear about, these satanic rituals, because they have rituals that aren't satanic.
[02:48:55]  You can go down to the Amazon rainforest.
[02:48:57]  It's very common in Peru.
[02:48:58]  It's very common in Brazil.
[02:48:59]  You go to one of these shamans.
[02:49:00]  You can do like week-long ayahuasca trips.
[02:49:03]  They coach you through these dimensions.
[02:49:06]  But this is different.
[02:49:07]  They want it to be like in and out, total control, controlled release, controlled timing.
[02:49:14]  And then they're going to say there's alternative beings.

=== Brainwashing Through Alternative Dimensions (14:44) ===

[02:49:17]  There's alternative dimensions.
[02:49:20]  There's alternative beings.
[02:49:21]  And then can you communicate with them?
[02:49:22]  Can they send you messages?
[02:49:27]  All right.
[02:49:28]  A little out there.
[02:49:29]  Well, let's bring it back to earth.
[02:49:33]  Literally.
[02:49:34]  So it's crazy watching these people.
[02:49:39]  And, you know, I do this because it's worth showing you.
[02:49:45]  I don't, I don't, I don't, you know, I don't care about this too much.
[02:49:49]  I'll take my one swipe if it's worth it because it's fun.
[02:49:52]  I'll punch back for fun sometimes, but usually it's not worth it.
[02:49:56]  But this is what's sad.
[02:49:57]  The reason why I bring this up today is, you know, my entire goal here is to have my audience as informed as possible.
[02:50:10]  My motivation for doing this was because when I found out that the news media lies to us and that I myself had believed in blatant lies, had believed in lies and falsehoods and everything else.
[02:50:24]  And then I figured out I was lied to.
[02:50:26]  I was deceived.
[02:50:27]  I was pissed.
[02:50:27]  So I don't want that to happen to anybody.
[02:50:30]  And I'm not, you know, I'm not claiming to be perfect.
[02:50:33]  That's what I'm trying to do.
[02:50:34]  So when I see this stuff, it actually breaks my heart because of this reason.
[02:50:38]  So this is one of these people that's attacking me now.
[02:50:41]  They share this from last week.
[02:50:44]  Trump puts up the post, the Save America post, with the no trans surgery except with parental consent.
[02:50:51]  So that was a real post.
[02:50:53]  That actually happened.
[02:50:54]  Trump actually posted it and I took the screenshot and reposted it.
[02:50:59]  So this is this account that just put out this video, you know, attacking me again.
[02:51:04]  I don't know who Phantom Shadow is, and I'm not going to take somebody seriously whose at handle is that.
[02:51:13]  And this would be not even punching down.
[02:51:15]  This would be like trying to punch an ant.
[02:51:16]  Like it's not even possible.
[02:51:18]  But here's what's sad about it.
[02:51:22]  They actually think that they're smart.
[02:51:24]  These people actually think that they're smart and they think that this is fake.
[02:51:29]  That's how brainwashed they are.
[02:51:31]  And again, I'm not saying that to insult this person.
[02:51:34]  I'm trying to help these people.
[02:51:35]  That's why I'm doing this.
[02:51:37]  I don't really care about these attacks on me.
[02:51:40]  I feel bad.
[02:51:41]  I feel bad that this person is so brainwashed and they really think they're right here.
[02:51:48]  This is a real post.
[02:51:50]  And obviously, these people watch my show because they take clips out of my show and they put it in their compilation.
[02:51:55]  So this person is likely watching.
[02:51:57]  They do clips to attack me.
[02:51:59]  So, hey, that's fun, dude.
[02:52:01]  Cool.
[02:52:02]  Keep it up.
[02:52:04]  I hope it's a fun thing for you.
[02:52:05]  And whatever you get out of it, good for you.
[02:52:08]  But you need to understand, you do know this is a real post, right?
[02:52:14]  Like Trump actually posted that.
[02:52:16]  You're not catching me.
[02:52:17]  This isn't a got you moment for me.
[02:52:19]  This is you.
[02:52:21]  This is you being brainwashed.
[02:52:24]  Okay.
[02:52:25]  Trump actually posted that.
[02:52:27]  So you're literally owning yourself right now.
[02:52:33]  That's what you're doing.
[02:52:34]  You're owning yourself.
[02:52:37]  So I'm not peddling any fake news.
[02:52:39]  I never have.
[02:52:41]  You are brainwashed.
[02:52:42]  You fall for fake news.
[02:52:44]  And it's even worse when you go into the comments and these people think that he got one on me.
[02:52:53]  And that's all I do.
[02:52:55]  Excuse me.
[02:52:56]  You just fell for fake news.
[02:52:57]  So all these people fall for fake news and then they claim I'm fake news.
[02:53:03]  That's the level of insanity that we're at here, ladies and gentlemen.
[02:53:07]  That is the level of craziness that we are at here.
[02:53:13]  The MAGA movement, whatever is left of MAGA, they're out here posting literal fake news accusing you of falling for fake news.
[02:53:26]  I don't know if the current MAGA moment, I don't know if the current MAGA movement can be encapsulated with any better example of how down bad they are.
[02:53:37]  They're literally posting fake news claiming that you fall for fake news.
[02:53:46]  Again, keep attacking me.
[02:53:47]  It's fun to me.
[02:53:48]  I find it entertaining.
[02:53:49]  It doesn't really affect me.
[02:53:51]  But I do care about you.
[02:53:53]  I do care about this country.
[02:53:55]  I do care about my fellow Americans.
[02:53:57]  And I don't want you people living a lie.
[02:54:00]  I don't want you to be brainwashed.
[02:54:02]  I don't want you to fall for propaganda.
[02:54:04]  So maybe you should find out for yourself.
[02:54:08]  That's a real post.
[02:54:09]  Trump did post that.
[02:54:11]  And I'm not fake news.
[02:54:13]  So you don't have to like me.
[02:54:15]  That's okay.
[02:54:16]  You don't have to agree with all of my stuff.
[02:54:18]  No problem.
[02:54:19]  If you want to follow my show, clip stuff out of context, try to make me look bad, I say go for it.
[02:54:24]  Have a blast.
[02:54:25]  Have fun.
[02:54:26]  But you just ought to know that I was right.
[02:54:31]  And you just ought to know that that post that you claimed was fake from the president is very real.
[02:54:37]  So maybe you should start rethinking and reconsidering everything if you can't get something as basic as that right.
[02:54:46]  You're listening to the Owen Report on the Win Network.
[02:54:55]  All right, we got some bonus time for you today on a Monday.
[02:55:03]  Going to bonus.
[02:55:06]  Bonus time for you on a Monday.
[02:55:08]  That's how nice I am.
[02:55:10]  Even on a Monday, you know, you kind of sometimes have to power through a Monday.
[02:55:15]  Mondays are interesting in the news business because it's a lot of times the biggest news day just because you have so much to catch up on from the weekend, but it's also sometimes the slowest news day because you're trying to get back into that swing of things and figure out, you know, okay, what's going on for this week versus what happened on the weekend.
[02:55:38]  So we're going into bonus, bonus time for you on a Monday.
[02:55:43]  So what we'll do is we'll go into our super chats.
[02:55:45]  That's what we'll do.
[02:55:46]  We'll go into the super chats for our bonus time today.
[02:55:48]  As you know, as you know, every day we finish our show with the super chats.
[02:56:03]  So by the way, and we'll start with this from Owen Schroyer's wifey.
[02:56:08]  We got to 50K on YouTube over the weekend.
[02:56:11]  Thank you guys.
[02:56:11]  I asked for that.
[02:56:12]  I said that that was your homework.
[02:56:14]  I really appreciate that.
[02:56:15]  We're over 50K on YouTube.
[02:56:19]  We wanted to hit, just so you know, that this is great here.
[02:56:23]  If you're a follower of the show, fan of the show, we love you.
[02:56:27]  Our goal was to get to 1 million views per month by weeks, excuse me, by month six.
[02:56:32]  Our goal was to get to 50,000 subscribers.
[02:56:35]  We are in month six.
[02:56:36]  We haven't completed month six, but we have crossed both of those thresholds.
[02:56:41]  So I really appreciate that from the audience, everybody that tunes in and has followed us on social media.
[02:56:46]  That one was big for us.
[02:56:48]  Really appreciate that.
[02:56:49]  Thank you for that over the weekend.
[02:56:51]  Dus Vault, it's not a war, Panikin.
[02:56:54]  It's just thousands of unrelated random acts of violence between two nation states.
[02:57:00]  Hey, don't be writing their script for them for free.
[02:57:04]  That's free script writing right there.
[02:57:07]  Henry of Skalitz, MAGA cult acts like we wanted this to happen.
[02:57:12]  No, we feel betrayed and it sucks.
[02:57:13]  It doesn't feel good.
[02:57:15]  I would much rather have stayed MAGA than be pissed about Trump's bad actions and campaign promise in action.
[02:57:23]  Well, you're not alone, obviously.
[02:57:25]  There's a very strong, I don't know if it's the majority, but there is a very large minority of Trump voters that feel completely betrayed.
[02:57:33]  I would say it's probably about at least 20%, probably 30%, I would say.
[02:57:44]  I would say.
[02:57:45]  And so they could say, oh, well, that's still the majority of MAGA.
[02:57:48]  Well, that's fine, but you need more than MAGA cult people.
[02:57:52]  You need more than neocons.
[02:57:53]  You need more than lifelong Republicans to win elections.
[02:57:56]  And so that's your problem.
[02:57:57]  So that's why this is going to haunt you in the midterms.
[02:58:00]  And they all see it now.
[02:58:02]  Your Levin sounds like an 80s cartoon villain from Vids of Doug.
[02:58:07]  I could do better.
[02:58:07]  I wasn't really committed to the Levin bit today, but he is like an 80s tune villain.
[02:58:15]  He literally looks and talks like an 80s tune villain.
[02:58:17]  So that means I'm doing a good job.
[02:58:19]  Molly Pearson changed party affiliation to independent by GOP.
[02:58:25]  I saw that from James Woods over the weekend.
[02:58:28]  He did the same thing.
[02:58:32]  Got to take everything with a grain of salt.
[02:58:37]  D-program TV.
[02:58:38]  Let's get Adam Green on the show.
[02:58:40]  You are wasting our time with your perspective on what's happening.
[02:58:43]  Well, Adam has been right all along.
[02:58:45]  All right.
[02:58:47]  Well, I'll invite Adam to a beef jerky pizza grape soda party like we all do every weekend with Epstein.
[02:58:53]  C.S. Huntington Beach.
[02:58:55]  Tina Peters attorney Peter Titkin expecting her to get a commutation today or tomorrow.
[02:59:00]  I'm glad you brought that up.
[02:59:02]  I heard rumors of that last Friday.
[02:59:04]  I haven't heard anything since.
[02:59:09]  I'm glad you brought that up.
[02:59:11]  I hope we see Tina Peters freed.
[02:59:13]  That would be long overdue.
[02:59:18]  Tiberius Rex.
[02:59:19]  Oh, and you went to prison for all of us that sat at home.
[02:59:22]  It's a shame what we hoped would be a turn inward became Ukraine in a desert, still can't afford a home as a vet, but I'm glad Israel is safe.
[02:59:29]  Well, they're not.
[02:59:31]  Israel is not even safe.
[02:59:33]  They're running into bunkers again.
[02:59:35]  Some of them living in bunkers.
[02:59:36]  Bombs are dropping again.
[02:59:38]  So, see, and that's another big lie.
[02:59:40]  That's another big thing that they do when they act like this is for Israel or the Israelis or the Jews or something.
[02:59:48]  Even that's a lie.
[02:59:50]  First of all, Israel is split politically, just like everywhere else.
[02:59:53]  Netanyahu has the protesters and the detractors, and then he has the supporters.
[02:59:57]  So there's no big block of support behind Netanyahu or this war.
[03:00:00]  It's divided like every other country.
[03:00:02]  Same with the citizens.
[03:00:05]  And how is it?
[03:00:06]  It's like they want you to have this idea that somehow Israel is safer or they're protecting Israel.
[03:00:11]  No, this is all about regime change.
[03:00:14]  This is all about special interests.
[03:00:15]  This is all about foreign interests.
[03:00:17]  This is all about the military-industrial complex.
[03:00:19]  Israel is not safer.
[03:00:20]  Israel is less safe.
[03:00:23]  That is a statement of fact.
[03:00:26]  So it's just another lie of this war.
[03:00:29]  It's just another lie of Middle East foreign policy.
[03:00:32]  Israelis are literally running in and out of bunkers.
[03:00:35]  Their homes are being destroyed.
[03:00:37]  Some of them are living in bomb shelters.
[03:00:40]  Israel is not safer.
[03:00:43]  This is all some larger agenda.
[03:00:45]  And they will use Israelis.
[03:00:47]  They already have on October 7th.
[03:00:49]  They will use Israelis as pawns.
[03:00:51]  They'll let Israelis die.
[03:00:53]  There's no attention to stop Israelis from dying.
[03:00:57]  They let October 7th happen.
[03:01:03]  But either way, it's broken promises from Trump.
[03:01:05]  That is undeniable.
[03:01:07]  We need to play anti-war compilations every day.
[03:01:10]  Well, we've been at it.
[03:01:12]  Tay Tay, fishback band from Waffle House, Disney, Starbucks.
[03:01:19]  I saw the IHOP one.
[03:01:20]  Well, that one didn't last long.
[03:01:21]  He says maybe Denny's will let him in there, or maybe my breakfast place, my floating breakfast cafe.
[03:01:30]  YouTube prisoner, the only drill, baby, drill I've heard about recently was the Epstein files.
[03:01:36]  I thought we didn't need oil from Iran.
[03:01:38]  Well, we're taking it from Venezuela.
[03:01:40]  We're taking it from Cuba.
[03:01:42]  The Venezuela stuff that was ready for market went to Israel.
[03:01:44]  The rest of it, they are going to need six to 12 months to even get to market.
[03:01:48]  The whole thing was a mess.
[03:01:50]  The whole thing was a mess, and they had to cut it a lot shorter.
[03:01:54]  They thought they had more time, but they have to cut it shorter because the midterms are about to be a bloodbath.
[03:01:58]  And I think they needed a distraction from the Epstein files.
[03:02:01]  So they just started this war before they planned to, is what I see happening.
[03:02:07]  Short-term pain for long-term gain equals safe and effective.
[03:02:11]  Well, I was going with two weeks to slow the spread, but same difference.
[03:02:16]  One riff of time.
[03:02:18]  Daylight savings.
[03:02:19]  Now that sunlight under your garage door will be there past 6 p.m.
[03:02:23]  Please use loop back or voice meter for audio only stream.road data.
[03:02:30]  Well, yeah.
[03:02:33]  Me and my garage.
[03:02:35]  I'm trying to trick you guys.
[03:02:37]  Maybe some of you could tell I kind of adjusted the cameras a little bit today.
[03:02:41]  I didn't even use this shot.
[03:02:43]  We adjusted them a little today to really, really hammer the garage door impact.
[03:02:52]  We really want these people to think I'm in a garage.
[03:02:54]  It's another thing.
[03:02:55]  They think they're smart.
[03:02:57]  They think they're smart.
[03:02:57]  They found out I'm in a garage.
[03:03:00]  Yeah, totally.
[03:03:02]  So keep it up.
[03:03:03]  Fishback made a quotable comment.
[03:03:05]  Re Lindsey Graham.
[03:03:08]  What is it?
[03:03:09]  You should have shared it.
[03:03:10]  Kai Bucky, thank you.
[03:03:12]  Kyle Polk Ranch, you should play the clip from Trump's interview with Jake Tapper about the Mideast in 216.
[03:03:17]  His betrayal to his first supporters is almost biblical.
[03:03:21]  It's the biggest betrayal I've ever seen in politics.
[03:03:23]  And I haven't been around, you know, people have been around in politics longer than me.
[03:03:26]  But for me, that's the biggest, it's the biggest betrayal by far, and it's not even close.
[03:03:31]  Nothing is even on the map from Trump's betrayal to his original supporters.
[03:03:36]  Sam White, it's a trap.
[03:03:38]  They are already writing articles of impeachment.
[03:03:40]  See, I've been saying that.
[03:03:41]  I think Trump is getting trapped right now, and he's trusting the wrong people.
[03:03:44]  Hopefully, I'm wrong.
[03:03:46]  But that's what it looks like.
[03:03:48]  When will you buy back into the markets?
[03:03:50]  Love from Australia.
[03:03:52]  I don't see me getting involved anytime soon.
[03:03:54]  I had some people asking me, they were panicked over the weekend that there would be a market crash today.

=== Trump's Draft Trap (12:54) ===

[03:04:02]  So they were asking me the same thing.
[03:04:03]  I said, I don't think there's going to be a market crash anytime soon.
[03:04:06]  But no, I'm still not.
[03:04:08]  I'm out of the markets.
[03:04:09]  I will say I got guilted.
[03:04:11]  I mean, I've got stuff long term.
[03:04:12]  I've got some stuff that I've got long term that that's just, I'm just keeping it long term.
[03:04:17]  But as far as like, you know, the day trades and kind of the quick movement stuff, the trend stuff, I've dropped all of that completely when it was so hot.
[03:04:27]  It was so hot in 2025.
[03:04:29]  It was so great in 2025, but I knew that's why I bailed on everything heading into 2026 and just said, now, now just, you know, put some stuff in some stuff you like and just get rid of the day-to-day stuff because it's not going to go well.
[03:04:42]  But I got guilted.
[03:04:45]  I got guilt-tripped by the audience.
[03:04:47]  They said, well, how can you profit off the defense industry?
[03:04:49]  I said, you know what?
[03:04:50]  You're right.
[03:04:51]  Because otherwise, the one thing I would be riding if I was still doing it would be the defense contractors.
[03:04:56]  That would be the one thing.
[03:04:57]  And maybe the oil, but those are a little less volatile.
[03:05:01]  So they're not as fun.
[03:05:03]  They don't really ride the waves like defense contractors and tech does.
[03:05:09]  But that'd be the one thing.
[03:05:10]  If I was going to keep riding the waves of, it would be defense contractors.
[03:05:15]  Those seem to still kind of have waves where you can, you know, buy low, sell high on a day-to-day or a week basis.
[03:05:24]  But I'm not playing that game right now.
[03:05:27]  Too unsettling for me, and I don't want to profit off of this war.
[03:05:31]  So not going to do it.
[03:05:33]  Short-term gain, long-term pain.
[03:05:36]  We'll see about that.
[03:05:38]  Latina girlfriend will attend fishback rally at University of Tampa tonight.
[03:05:44]  These rallies keep getting bigger, and Donald's couldn't pull it off.
[03:05:48]  Jeffrey Knox, I'm happy USA waking up to cult Trump, but still too many in the cult.
[03:05:54]  Well, I think the lines are pretty well drawn.
[03:06:01]  I think any fence sitters or still deciders, I think everybody's kind of deciding where they're going to land on this now.
[03:06:08]  Maybe they'll give it some time to see where this war goes, but I think everybody's kind of decided where they're going to stake their territory here for the midterm elections.
[03:06:15]  The denied wreath: if Iran has a nuclear program destroyed, wouldn't the chance for nukes going up mean that Israel is losing?
[03:06:24]  I'm not sure I understand the direction of your question, other than to just insist that the logic and the rhetoric is inconsistent and it just doesn't add up.
[03:06:36]  AJ shared Cuck Dilly slop on Twitter over the weekend.
[03:06:40]  Really?
[03:06:41]  Well, you know, he attacks, AJ gets attacked in all those videos too.
[03:06:45]  So I don't know why he'd be doing that, but he doesn't know.
[03:06:47]  He's not paying attention.
[03:06:49]  Who knows if it was even him?
[03:06:51]  Valent, so glad you had Jake Lang on a while back.
[03:06:54]  Opened my eyes to who he really is.
[03:06:56]  He had no idea his sister is an IDF and he kissed the wall.
[03:06:59]  Paid agitator.
[03:07:00]  Well, he's had it again today with something.
[03:07:03]  He was messaging me again today about something, and somebody apparently threw a bomb at him, or I don't know if it was real or not.
[03:07:07]  It's just crazy following that.
[03:07:10]  I can't do it anymore.
[03:07:12]  Taytay from Florida.
[03:07:13]  Bibi was in South Florida.
[03:07:15]  Yair lives in South Florida.
[03:07:17]  Ron DeSantis kissed the wall.
[03:07:19]  You know, BB, a Polish of Polish heritage, who actually was raised in America.
[03:07:27]  Few people know that.
[03:07:29]  Old Millikowski went to school in America.
[03:07:33]  Alpha jerk.
[03:07:34]  Trump's here is looking pretty damn good.
[03:07:36]  Oh, I don't want to.
[03:07:40]  I'm not ready.
[03:07:41]  I'm not ready.
[03:07:44]  Captain Hart, Trump lying his ass off.
[03:07:46]  Every night, Tel Aviv looks like a fireworks show.
[03:07:49]  Clearly, they aren't hitting the right targets.
[03:07:50]  This isn't America first.
[03:07:53]  Yeah, again, it's like the stuff he said about what we're hitting, what we're not hitting.
[03:07:56]  I think we're going to need time to really know the truth about that.
[03:07:59]  So that's why I'm not leaning too much into that.
[03:08:01]  But yeah, Iran is still hitting Israel as of the last 12 hours.
[03:08:05]  So I don't know where.
[03:08:06]  I don't know who's giving in this information.
[03:08:08]  I don't.
[03:08:10]  We'll see.
[03:08:11]  We'll see at the end of the week how much of that was real and how much of that was just outright propaganda.
[03:08:15]  Oh my God, he sounds like Netanyahu.
[03:08:17]  Yeah.
[03:08:19]  Acts like him too.
[03:08:22]  You see all the Netanyahu logic now being used against us from our president.
[03:08:26]  It's really sad.
[03:08:27]  Am I the only one seething with TDS right now?
[03:08:29]  Well, actually, I was watching the chat while that was going on.
[03:08:32]  And no, you were not the only one.
[03:08:37]  People didn't even want me to cover it.
[03:08:39]  People were begging me to turn it off.
[03:08:42]  But I felt like I had a duty to cover it.
[03:08:44]  It's the president doing a press conference on the war.
[03:08:46]  So salty Badger.
[03:08:49]  Hope Massey didn't take that Soros money.
[03:08:51]  That's the only man I can see myself voting for.
[03:08:54]  No, he's totally, he's not taking any big money.
[03:08:56]  It's all small donors right now.
[03:09:00]  Or at least not connected to the left or to Israel.
[03:09:05]  No one told him, don't say Jared Kushner.
[03:09:11]  Iran has to behave and enjoy pizza and grape soda like the rest of us.
[03:09:15]  Yes, and get their central bank.
[03:09:17]  They need a pizza, grape soda lover as their new leader and a nice central bank.
[03:09:21]  Ken Rose, thank you.
[03:09:23]  Where is Tulsi?
[03:09:24]  Haven't seen her since ignored, since he ignored her and committed the 12-day war.
[03:09:28]  Well, she was at the last time she was at the Georgia election investigation site.
[03:09:35]  She was at the dignified return of the U.S. dead military members over the weekend.
[03:09:46]  But for the most part, she's staying silent.
[03:09:49]  Fox Sports MLB.
[03:09:50]  Yeah, I saw that.
[03:09:52]  I think they knew what they were doing when they posted that.
[03:09:55]  I'm not going to comment.
[03:09:57]  Wotan, Oyve, Iranian Tomahawks.
[03:10:00]  Yeah, that one, that's a real doozy.
[03:10:02]  You really got to be brainwashed to just accept that.
[03:10:06]  Funny how North Korea isn't a threat.
[03:10:07]  Ah, exactly.
[03:10:08]  If logic can't be applied universally, you know the thing.
[03:10:11]  Bring back the cuck light ad.
[03:10:17]  What would it be?
[03:10:20]  Mr. 2026 MAGA supporter.
[03:10:24]  You've watched President Trump betray all of his promises, but you still follow him like a good little cuck.
[03:10:32]  We once thought the left was brainwashed, and then we saw the MAGA right.
[03:10:38]  They're so brainwashed.
[03:10:40]  They're so stupid.
[03:10:42]  I used to write, perform those things.
[03:10:44]  Me and Darren McBreen.
[03:10:47]  We go something like that.
[03:10:52]  Mr. MAGA 2026 supporter, you tweeted, you posted 17 times about how you were anti-war in 2024.
[03:11:06]  Now you all of a sudden love war.
[03:11:09]  You're a good little brainwashed slave.
[03:11:12]  There you go.
[03:11:13]  A little helping for you.
[03:11:14]  Why not?
[03:11:15]  Doing it raw.
[03:11:17]  The red wall will fall with the boomers.
[03:11:23]  How did you guys like that?
[03:11:24]  Was that good?
[03:11:25]  Do we need to turn that into one?
[03:11:29]  Who would you like to see as the next president and vice president?
[03:11:31]  And why?
[03:11:32]  Should it be a political figure or someone from the average political scene?
[03:11:37]  Yeah, red light, meat, and pizza.
[03:11:40]  That's awfully open-ended.
[03:11:42]  I would say, I've said before, Massey, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Massey Rocana from the political world.
[03:11:53]  Maybe Tucker Carlson throws himself in there just to spice up the debate and see what he could do.
[03:11:59]  But it's too early, really, to answer that, I would say.
[03:12:03]  Poll, who wants America fixed?
[03:12:05]  One, yes.
[03:12:06]  Two, let's go.
[03:12:08]  Well, we got to make Iran grade again.
[03:12:10]  We got to do all of these other wars.
[03:12:11]  Not bots a line and press one.
[03:12:13]  Let's go.
[03:12:14]  The real ones.
[03:12:15]  Doing polls in the chat today.
[03:12:17]  One of 1K.
[03:12:18]  Still feel a little vindicated about being right about the draft idea to you.
[03:12:23]  Thanks for the show.
[03:12:25]  Yeah.
[03:12:25]  Well, look, as far as the Caroline Levitt clip, you know, I don't think the administration wants to do a draft.
[03:12:34]  The problem is, and it's true, it can be good, it can be bad.
[03:12:38]  The problem is you really have no idea what Trump is going to do.
[03:12:42]  And that's kind of part of the strategy.
[03:12:45]  But, you know, the interpretation is she clearly did not want to commit to Maria Bartiromo, Corrine Jean Pierre Levitt over the weekend.
[03:12:56]  Maria Bartiromo says, are you considering a draft?
[03:13:00]  Caroline Levitt basically ignores it and says, we're keeping all options on the table.
[03:13:06]  I don't think they are really considering a draft, but who really knows at this point?
[03:13:11]  Things are so off the rails.
[03:13:13]  Who knows now?
[03:13:15]  But I think they drummed up enough patriotism.
[03:13:17]  They did that big military parade.
[03:13:19]  I think they signed up enough young Americans to join the military that they don't need to do a draft.
[03:13:24]  They kind of deceived them into, you know, this is going to be a no war, no new war, no foreign war administration.
[03:13:30]  And so they lied about that.
[03:13:31]  Now they got them signed up.
[03:13:32]  Now they got him in.
[03:13:36]  But who knows at this point what they will and won't do as far as military service.
[03:13:42]  I don't even think they know.
[03:13:44]  But that's Levitt just doing a good Corrine Gene Pierre Levitt.
[03:13:49]  And Trump says, hey, don't commit to anything.
[03:13:51]  They try to pin you down on anything.
[03:13:53]  Boots on the ground, more strikes, draft, whatever.
[03:13:55]  They try to pin you down on committing to anything.
[03:13:57]  Just say all options are on the table.
[03:13:59]  So that's really how I see that.
[03:14:02]  Steak for supper, medium rare.
[03:14:04]  The only way.
[03:14:06]  Gigi Gaziano, wifey, does your hubby know your love for Owen?
[03:14:12]  I don't know if she's married or not.
[03:14:16]  Crazy.
[03:14:17]  Nellie H., Lauren Boebert is smoking.
[03:14:20]  Let me tell you.
[03:14:23]  Okay.
[03:14:26]  I concur.
[03:14:28]  Jennifer Kay, our floating breakfast cafe, wink wink.
[03:14:32]  I'm telling you, I'm telling you, it's gaining momentum.
[03:14:36]  Still very small, but it's there.
[03:14:38]  LA Patriot, don't forget to close the garage door.
[03:14:44]  You'll never know.
[03:14:47]  Not another skate channel.
[03:14:50]  Skate or die, Owen.
[03:14:54]  Never been a skater.
[03:14:55]  I can rollerblade.
[03:14:56]  I can ice skate a little bit.
[03:14:59]  That's about it for me.
[03:15:01]  What do you mean, our Jennifer?
[03:15:03]  On, guys.
[03:15:04]  I love my wifey more than all the others.
[03:15:07]  These chats.
[03:15:08]  Thank you.
[03:15:09]  It's very nice.
[03:15:10]  Love the show, bro.
[03:15:11]  Thank you, LA Patriot.
[03:15:13]  We better not send any money to help rebuild Israel.
[03:15:16]  All hell will break loose if that happens.
[03:15:18]  Everyone blames Israel for this war.
[03:15:20]  Rightfully so.
[03:15:21]  I think the real outrage would happen if they did a draft, though.
[03:15:25]  I think that's when you would see people in the streets really standing against this administration from both sides if they brought back the draft.
[03:15:30]  That would be severely unpopular.
[03:15:32]  That would be enough for people to disrupt their lives and get in the streets about.
[03:15:37]  So that's kind of another reason why I don't think they would.
[03:15:39]  Connie reloaded.
[03:15:40]  Did you see the nanobot worn on Trump's hand?
[03:15:43]  It was big.
[03:15:46]  No, I just saw he keeps the makeup on there.
[03:15:48]  I'm guessing because they're doing IVs into his hand or something like that, or it doesn't look good.
[03:15:53]  So he keeps the makeup on it.
[03:15:55]  I didn't see what you're talking about.
[03:15:58]  Grover Pearson, Trump rode the back of us Ron Paul voters in 16.
[03:16:02]  I will be sitting home in 2026, just like I did in 2008, 2012.
[03:16:07]  Saw you on Jimmy Door.
[03:16:08]  When Jimmy is quiet, he's recognizing your talent.
[03:16:11]  Great interview.
[03:16:13]  Thank you.
[03:16:14]  I was glad to do that.
[03:16:15]  I was on Piers Morgan today.
[03:16:18]  I'll share some of those clips.
[03:16:19]  I see that Pierce Morgan, uncensored, has already uploaded some of those clips.
[03:16:23]  So we'll probably repost those on X. Our greatest ally won't let Christians in the shelters.
[03:16:32]  Well, nobody gets into the shelters.
[03:16:34]  So except the Israelis.
[03:16:35]  So yeah.
[03:16:36]  Alpha Kenny Boy, two weeks to change the regime.
[03:16:39]  Yeah.
[03:16:40]  Two weeks to slow the spread.
[03:16:41]  Two weeks to change the regime.
[03:16:43]  Let's just hope gas doesn't stay above 100 a barrel.
[03:16:47]  Avarice, family and Air Force Reserve Unit.
[03:16:51]  They're deploying hundreds of people in two weeks for refuel duties in Middle East.

=== Two Weeks to Change the Regime (01:17) ===

[03:16:56]  So I guess that means they're going to be there for a while, is what that sounds like.
[03:17:01]  Now, again, I've seen other reports and rumors about that.
[03:17:03]  I haven't seen anything confirmed.
[03:17:05]  So if you're confirming it from people that are actually involved directly, then I would say that indicates they're planning on being there for a while.
[03:17:13]  I love my Gigi more than Wifey.
[03:17:15]  I see what you guys are doing, and I'm okay with it.
[03:17:18]  You can use and abuse the super chat.
[03:17:19]  I'm not going to lie.
[03:17:21]  It's kind of funny.
[03:17:22]  Haven't seen Haters Have This Much in Their Mouth for You since Boebert in Theaters.
[03:17:32]  All right.
[03:17:35]  I think that's the one.
[03:17:39]  I think that's the one.
[03:17:41]  That's the one to call it today.
[03:17:47]  All right, guys.
[03:17:48]  Monday in the books.
[03:17:54]  Monday in the books.
[03:17:57]  Pittsburgh bad.
[03:17:58]  Went to Dave Smith show Friday when you were on with Jimmy.
[03:18:01]  Sounds fun.
[03:18:03]  Sounds like a good time.
[03:18:07]  All right, guys, that's it for a Monday.
[03:18:08]  Thanks, everybody, for tuning in.
[03:18:09]  We'll take a 21-hour break.
[03:18:12]  We'll do it all again tomorrow.
