Analysis Summary
Ask yourself: “If I turn the sound off, does this argument still hold up?”
Us vs. Them
Dividing the world into two camps — people like us (good, trustworthy) and people not like us (dangerous, wrong). It exploits a deep human tendency to favor our own group. Once you accept the division, information from "them" gets automatically discounted.
Tajfel's Social Identity Theory (1979); Minimal Group Paradigm
Worth Noting
Positive elements
- Provides granular data on Iran's missile/drone depletion rates from CENTCOM and poll breakdowns showing conditional war support, useful for tracking public sentiment on the conflict.
Be Aware
Cautionary elements
- Parasocial leveraging in sponsor pitches transfers trust from geopolitical analysis to personal financial products.

Heat. Heat. I don't patient fishing. become Over the last 12 hours, there are clear signs that the Iranian regime is reaching its cataclysmic end. Their Supreme Leader is dead. 49 senior regime figures obliterated. Iran's navy sits at the bottom of the Persian Gulf. Every operational warship sunk. Over 2,000 military targets have been struck in less than a week. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard headquartered in Thyron has been reduced to rubble and the Natan's nuclear facility is burning as we speak. The Mulazar, in the words of the House intelligence chairman, circling the drain. And as the regime scrambles to desperately hold on, something remarkable is happening here at home. Trump's poll numbers are surging. A super majority of Americans are rallying behind this mission. And I'm going to show you why. I'm going to show you exactly what President Trump is doing here. What this Iranian war is really all about and how the MAGA movement is turning out to be more extraordinary than anything we could have ever imagined. Greetings everyone. It is a live stream Friday. I am your host Dr. Steve, your patron professor, helping you make sense of the madness with breaking news and analysis you're not going to get anywhere else. So, if you want a front row seat on how you continue to change the world in ways you never even imagine, make sure to smack that bell and subscribe. And as always, we got a jam-packed show for you today. I mean, a super jam-packed show. Speaking of super, we got our super chats up, so feel free to send in your comments and your questions. It would be my privilege to read them and answer them during this live stream. Before we dive in here, let me ask you something, and this is serious now. Are you working incredibly hard, maybe even successful by most standards, but you feel like you're just spread too thin, right? Not enough butter over too much bread, as they might say. So, you're working your life away, and then you're wondering, uh, when do I get to actually enjoy my life? Here's the problem, gang. And this is very important. This is something I've recently learned myself. The elites have their system. They've rigged the game so that if you want more money, you have got to give up more of your time. And if you want more time, you got to sacrifice money. It's a trap and it keeps you dependent, exhausted, and anxious about the future. But what if you had your own system? What if there was a way to build financial security for your family that doesn't require employees or customers or inventory or any of the headaches that come with traditional businesses? What if you could do it in just minutes a day or even minutes per week from anywhere you choose? Now, I know you might be thinking, Steve, I mean, that sounds a little too good to be true, and I get it. But here's what I've learned. Trading is actually the best business in the world when you do it the right way. And before you think trading, trading, that's too risky. That's gambling. Let me tell you about my good friend Troy Nun, the backpack trader. He spent 30 years perfecting a stepbystep approach that makes this accessible to everyday people like you and me. And I know it works because I'm actually a member of his program. I've tried it out. And here's what makes Troy's approach different. He'll show you how to prove the system works first before you risk a single penny of your hard-earned money. You could see the results first, then decide if it's for you. So, if you're ready to see how this can play a massive role in improving your life situation and giving you your time back, go to backpacktrader.com/turlyfreedom.

All right, gang. Let's dive right in here. 7 days in, the Iranian regime is bleeding from every artery. The Supreme Leader is dead. At least 48 senior officials and commanders have been killed alongside him. And the IRGC, one of the most feared military forces in the Middle East, has lost over 60% of its ballistic missile launchers, its entire operational navy of 30 plus warships, and uncontested control of its own airspace over Tyrron. Over 1,700 military targets were destroyed in just the very first 72 hours of Operation Epic Fury. And the pace has only intensified since with Israel announcing a new phase of broadscale strikes on regime infrastructure deep inside the capital while simultaneously hammering Hezbollah in Lebanon to the north. Iran is lashing out in literally every direction. They're firing ballistic missiles at Qatar, at Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia. They're attacking US bases. They're attacking cities. They're attacking anything they possibly can. But every retaliatory salvo only exposes how degraded its capabilities have become with Gulf allies intercepting nearly everything Tron throws at them. Take a look at this chart. It's very I mean this is data coming from Sentcom, US Central Command. This is astonishing. This is the rate of their ballistic missile launch depletion. So here's a breakdown of their rapidly dimission diminishing retaliatory capacity. They've gone from 350 retaliatory missile strikes on day one to now just 15 as of day eight. 350 to 15. So at this rate, if that rate uh the speed of decline continues, they will be at zero in a matter of two days. Same with their drone strikes. They've gone from a high of 541 on day two of the operation. Now it's just 12. So altogether Iran ballistic missile attacks have decreased over the course of one week the first week by 90% while Iran drone attacks have decreased by 83%. So that's the big picture the aerial trajectory as it were of this war. Iran's military capabilities are being annihilated in a span of eight days. And what's unfolding before our eyes is really a complete paradigm shift in the significance of what's called technopolarity for how first world countries like the United States and Israel are waging war. So we talked about it earlier this week. Technopolar, right? You've often heard of multipolarity. We'll be talking about that today. But there is also something called technopolarity. And that involves the notion that civilizational power is increasingly defined not by land mass or the size of your army or how deep you can dig your bunkers, but by your mastery of the technological stratum, the invisible layer of stealth, precision, cyber, orbital, AI enabled systems that sits above literally in the cloud the traditional battlefield and whoever controls controls that cloud stratum controls the world. Matt Forny actually had a great write up on this on uh X. You know, 20 years ago, this war that we're seeing would have been impossible. Absolutely impossible, at least without a ground invasion and tens of thousands of troops. Today, AIdriven targeting, autonomous drone swarms, next generation satellite surveillance, they've all fundamentally changed the equation. First world militaries can now microtarget enemy leaders, missile launchers, and ammunition caches with pinpoint precision that minimizes civilian casualties and keeps their own forces out of harm's way. This is the technopolar paradigm shift in action. And it's exactly what we're watching unfold. the Air Force, Navy, the IDF. They've spent a week systematically destroying Iran's military leadership and infrastructure while explicitly avoiding civilian targets. Bases that Iran retaliates against are being strategically evacuated before the missiles land, denying Thrron the propaganda value of mass American casualties. We're nearly a week into this war and only six Americans have died as compared to the 50 in the first week of Iraq. I mean, the entire operation is designed not to just decapitate the regime, but to do it in a way that keeps the Iranian people and military dissident on our side. Because when the bombs only hit the men who've been oppressing you for 47 years, liberation starts to look less like an invasion and more like deliverance. And astonishingly, it's not just technopolarity at work here. It's also the emerging literal universe of astropolarity. Right? National Review is now saying that what we've been track they're now admitting what we've been tracking for weeks. Trump was right about the Space Force and the Iran war is proof. When Trump created Space Force back in 2019, critics called it a joke. literally. Well, nobody's laughing now. In 20th century wars, the key was air power. In 21st century wars, the key is space power. Space command was one of the literal first movers in Operation Epic Fury, degrading Iran's sensors, jamming its communications, and blinding its command structure from orbit before a single bomb dropped. Space Force Guardians at Shrivever. Uh they detected Iranian retaliatory missiles seconds before launch, queuing intercepts against across the Gulf. Electronic warfare units cleared the sky so B2 bombers could strike undetected. GPS satellite comms and realtime orbital surveillance undergur every single precision strike in this campaign. All done from over 20,000 miles high in the stratosphere. So this is the astropolar shift that we've been talking a lot about on this channel. The war isn't just being won in the air through technopolarity, right? It's being won in orbit and then delivered through the air. So technopolarity and astropolarity are combining to give the United States a power never yet seen in military combat. And we ain't seen nothing yet. At least that's as far that's what Pete Hegs is telling us. The the best is yet to come as it were. Now, this technopolar astropolar dominance does appear to be calming the nerves of voters. We talked about this poll earlier this week from CBS. It dropped midweek. I mean, look at this. They asked respondents and and good on CBN uh CBS uh maybe this is Barry Weiss but good on CBS for asking this very question. They asked voters if they supported this war based on how long it's estimated to last. Very very insightful. So do you approve or disapprove of military action against Iran if the confl conflict were to last for days or weeks, months or years? And look at the level of support. Again, this is from CBS for a campaign that lasts days or weeks. 76%. 70. It's a super majority. It's an 8020 issue. Literally, round it off. It's an 8020 issue, right? We now know what people were worried about. rightly so. They do not want this conflict to drag on and on and on year after year like it did in Iraq or Afghanistan or Libya or Syria. And as we're seeing with the technological and astrological advances, those are precisely the kinds of concerns that are increasingly being assuaged. And in terms of Trump's own poll numbers, especially among the base, I mean I mean look at this poll. This is and this is Fox News polling which tends to lean left. I mean like always. I mean look at this. Trump has got a 98% approval rating among selfidentified MAGA loyalists. 2% disapprove. Now yes they are a very noisy 2% for sure. But that's it. That's what the polling is consistently showing. CNN admitted the same thing. Harry Anton admitted the same thing. The MAGA faithful love Trump. Republicans love Trump. They support him. And so the combination of the American people and the MAGA faithful are overwhelmingly behind Trump in this campaign, as they should be. What we have to understand is that we are witnessing something truly epic in the making. What Trump is doing in Iran is all about MAGA. It's all about making America great again. Precisely because it's all about positioning MAGA at the very center of this rising civilizationalist world order that we're seeing. We've seen the role of technopolitics in this military campaign. We've seen the role of astropolitics. Now I want to show you the role of geopolitics in all this because there is an increasing recognition that what's happening here with Iran is not really ultimately about Iran. There is a growing consensus that what's really happening here is actually not ultimately about Iran at all. It's not about Iran's proxies or even it's acquiring a nuclear bomb. I mean to be clear, those are absolutely key issues in this war that need to be neutralized. No question. And certainly that's what Trump has to publicly focus on. There are some things that are not allowed to be said in geopolitical parliament. But a growing number of analysts are saying that part out loud that this war is not ultimately about Iran. There is a growing consensus that this war is ultimately about China. And what I want to do for you today is I I want you to take out a take out your pen. You might want to write out a little map. We're going to do a geopolitical map here. I'm going to write it out for you and show it nice and visual. What we're going to do today is I want to put all of these pieces together for you once and for all. We've been talking about snippets all week long in our 10-15 minutee videos. Now, in this one massive live stream, I want to put all of those pieces together, the technopolitical, the astropolitical, and now the geopolitical pieces together and show you Trump's real vision for MAGA. He is permanently positioning MAGA to literally be at the very center of the world for generations to come. It's astonishing way. Do you see this? But first, if you are just joining us, our super chats are up. So, feel free to send in your comments, your questions. It'll be happy, it'll be my honor to answer them or read them out loud here on the live stream. Also, have you seen what's going on with gold? We're amassing it. Did you see this? The Trump administration has just sealed a gold deal with none other than Venezuela. They're exporting as much as a thousand kilograms of gold to the United States. And we're hardly alone. Australia's been loading up. Saudi Arabia is buying the world's largest gold mine to supply itself. And even tiny Singapore recently added more than 100 metric tons of gold to its vault. This is at least in part why the price of gold is skyrocketing, surging past $5,000 an ounce for the first time ever. And many experts are arguing that's nothing. So that's why I recently reached out to Augusta Precious Metals. And gang, I got to tell you, they taught me things I didn't even know were possible. I had no idea you could hold physical gold and silver inside your IRA or 401k. It It's not some loophole or gimmick. It's been in the tax code for decades. 100% legal way to bring real stability back into your retirement. That conversation changed everything for me. I've spoken with Augusta's education team multiple times now. I've met Devin Steel. They're director of education. I these guys are the real deal. Talk about they know everything about multipolarity and the like and they know how to explain it so you actually understand. So here's what I recommend you do. The same thing I did. Go to turleybbygold.com. And I do. I love my gold. Turleybgold.com or text turley to 35052. That's 35052. Talk to an educator at Augusta. They're patriots just like us. No pressure, nothing like that. They'd love to chat with you. Tell them Steve Turley sent you. They'll cover up to 10 years of your custodial and depository fees. They're amazing. So, look, do what I I've done the research for you. Okay? So these guys at Augusta taught me everything I needed to know. Now you get to just enjoy it. Text Turley to 35052. Tell them I sent you. You will not be disappointed. For a decade, Beijing has been building a quiet shadow empire covering the entire globe. The belt and road initiative is a Chinese web that runs through 150 plus countries locking in ports, railways and digital infrastructure from Pakistan to Sri Lanka, from Kenya to Greece. a hard security corps with Russia and Iran that trades energy, arms, and diplomatic cover. Authoritarian clients like Venezuela and Panama adjacent port deals that gave it leverage even in our own geographical backyard in our own hemisphere. They brokered multilateral shells like the SEO and bricks plus that dress all of this up as multi-polarity and over all of it a digital and space layer of hue networks and BEu satellites that hardwire Chinese standards into other militaries and economies most particularly Iran. In other words, China hasn't just risen inside a multipolar world, a world where there are multiple political and economic and military powers. China hasn't just risen inside a multipolar world. It's spent years wiring one together around itself. From a civilizational vantage point, it's the reawakening of the ancient Chinese cosm vision known as Tiania, which which literally means all under heaven. And in classical Chinese thought, it referred to the entire ordered cosmic realm with China at its center. It imagined the world as concentric circles radiating outward from the imperial court at the center through tributary states to outer barbarians. So that China was quite literally the middle of the civilized world. However, this is the missing dimension of so much that passes as multipolar analysis today. For way too many analysts, they focus solely on multipolarity, working only in one singular direction. China, Russia, and India must increase. All the while, the United States must decrease. That's the predominant analysis of a rising multipolar world. a world of bricks, a world of the SECO, and most especially a world where China increasingly dominates the political, economic, and militaristic global landscape. But there's one major flaw in this analysis, Donald J. Trump. As it turns out, Trump doesn't envision this China dominated multi-polar world at all. He doesn't see multipolarity moving in a single direction. What if, as it turns out, multipolarity is dynamic? What if the United States can form its own thoroughly multi-polar alliance networks and multilateral treaties around the globe that actually awaken a new American era of dominance and growth within a multipolar context? What if America can recalibrate the world order with America at its center? What if the real mandate under heaven isn't centered on China? It's actually centered on MAGA. That is precisely what MAGA is ultimately all about. MAGA isn't just about closing our borders and bringing manufacturing back home and restoring the political cloud of the working class and destroying wokeness and revitalizing American culture. All of that is yes and amen. But that's just where it begins. As we're about to find out, President Trump sees making America great involving making America the permanent center of the world in ways we never even imagined possible. That is MAGA. And that is what this war in Iran is ultimately all about. What President Trump is doing is he's essentially inverting that Chinese multipolar architecture. He's breaking, he's peeling away and neutralizing that Beijing anchored global network and replacing it with an American anchored global network. The strikes on Thrron are not just about Iran. They're about severing China's key to holding much of the world's energy supply hostage. The capture Maduro was not just about Venezuela. It ripped out a key Chinese foothold in the Americas, including the sea lanes linked to the Panama Canal. Where Beijing created a shield of worldwide clients and choke points protecting its rise, Trump is turning those very same regions into launch pads for a counter multipolarity with America, not China at its center. If you remember, it all started here. Trump in his very first week as president, right? He pounced on Panama of all places. The very first order of business for Trump internationally was his move to retake effective control over the Panama Canal Corridor from Chinese linked operators and projects. That was the first visible break in Beijing's quiet encirclement strategy in the Western Hemisphere, signaling that the canal and the ports and logistics around it would no longer be treated as a neutral commercial zone, but as a core piece of American civilizational infrastructure. And little did we know at the time that that was a micro component to Trump's larger macro grand strategy. Once Washington started rolling back Chinese influence at that choke point, it created the template for a broader strategy. Unwind Beijing's footholds at critical nodes. then rebuild those spaces into US anchored security and economic networks. That's the pattern every step of the way as we go on here. And so that's where the arrest of Maduro came in back in January. By having Maduro arrested and removed, Trump shattered one of Beijing's most important political and economic footholds in the Western Hemisphere. Venezuela had functioned as basically a Chinese client state, trading cut rate oil and strategic access for BRRI loans and diplomatic cover. In fact, roughly 3 to 5% of China's total crude oil imports were coming from Venezuela. That's done. That's gone. China's been completely cut off from Venezuela. And now it was just announced that Venezuela and the United States have officially reestablished diplomatic ties for the first time in years. The Secretary of the Interior, Doug Bergam, was just in Karacus meeting with their acting president and she publicly publicly before her entire nation thanked President Donald Trump for quote his government's kind willingness to work together on an agenda that strengthens by national cooperation for the benefit of the peoples of the United States and of Venezuela. A Chinese vassal state is now fully aligned economically and politically with the United States. When I say that you changed the world back in November 2024, this is precisely what I mean. The China Venezuela axis has been destroyed. Destroyed. And a new Venezuela American alliance has dawned. And as we speak, roughly a third to a bit over a third of Venezuela's total crude exports are now effectively flowing to or through USont controlled channels. And we're now finding out as of yesterday that a free and fully liberated Cuba is already in the works. Check this out. And it's my distinct privilege to say what no American president has ever had the chance to say before. Welcome to the White House. Leonel Massie. Lionel Massie is my son said, "Dad, do you know who's going to be there today?" I said, "No, I got a lot of things." >> Oh, did I give I may have given you the wrong one. I may have given you the wrong one. Can you guys look up it? It is Trump announcing uh that Cuba wants to make a deal. Cub Cuba Cuba is agreeing uh to Trump's terms as it were. So he he b I'll I'll I'll lip-sync it here for you. But but he basically turned around and asked the uh the soccer players, how many of you from Cuba? Well, guess what? You're going to be able to go back. Don't And he goes, "Don't stay there for too long. We want you back here playing, but you're going to be able to go back. The deal's already in the works. Cuba is going to be free." I mean, absolutely incredible. And so next on the list is Greenland up north, right? The entire purpose of Greenland for Trump comes down to two words, military and minerals. Those are the two dynamics that are driving the United States to take over Greenland. Military demands and mineral demands. So militarily, Greenland is essential for the Golden Dome missile defense shield in that ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles would be flying over the Arctic on their way to North America. So Greenland is indispensable for positioning sensors and anti-missile defenses. And in terms of minerals, Greenland holds some of the world's largest deposits of rare earth elements that power advanced weapon systems, smartphones, electric vehicles, batteries, AI data centers. And as we speak, many of you know this, China dominates the rare earth supply chain. Roughly 60 70% of mining and up to 90% of processing capacity belongs to China. So in a world where supply chains are weaponized right now, China has all the cards and Trump wants to change that and Greenland is essential for that. And so that's why Trump secured the NATO framework that gives us what what they call total military access, embassy-like sovereignty over the entire island. It gives us all the mineral rights we want and it bans Russia and China from setting up mining activities anywhere on or near the island. We get the decisive veto vote on that. All without formal annexation. Denmark can continue to keep them as their their welfare state. No problem. And so and that I mentioned the Golden Dome. Uh did you hear the latest news? Forget that. See, this is the thing with Trump. You have to keep up with him. He moves so fast, right? Forget the Golden Dome. That's yesterday's news. That's peanuts. Trump has just announced his shield of the Americas. Have you heard about that? a content a continentwide extension of Trump's Golden Dome missile defense concept applied not just to the United States uh homeland or North America but the entire Western Hemisphere. So, we're still learning about it. The details have yet to fully come out. He just made the announcement, but in policy terms, it likely means a layered anti-missile and air defense network, ICBMs, hypersonics, cruise missiles, drones modeled on and scaling up from the US Golden Dome idea itself, inspired by Israel's Iron Dome. So again, this is technopolarity and astropolarity coming back uh to play here and it would involve the full integration of the entire western hemisphere, United States, Canada, Latin America, bringing together radar, interceptors, space-based sensors into a shared architecture to defend the Americas as a single security zone. So this is what I just described for you there. This is the American civilizational center. That's what you got to get. The American hemisphere that promises to politically and economically flourish like never before under an America guaranteed security. But as it turns out, what Trump is doing here is he's actually he's interlocking that western security zone and and recentralizing it into a horizontal chain of over overlapping multiple alliances around the globe. each regionally specific, each civilizationally integral, but all with the United States as the constant participant and guar, not China. That's the key. All with the United States as the constant participant and guarantor, not China. It's a system that scholars call networked multipolarity. You may want to write that down because a lot of people are out there right now saying goodbye multipolar world. No, no, no, no, no, no. We're still in a multipolar world. All right. Uh 20% of uh Ukraine has been an ex to to Russia. You can only do that through a multipolar world. China still exercises enormous power and influence. That's multipolarity. Uh India has 20% of the world's population and is growing and it's techsavvy and so forth. That's multipolarity. Now, we're still living in a multipolar world, but we're increasingly living in a networked multipolarity, an allegiance of multiple poles, multiple power centers with one highly connected node as it were at the center of the web. It's somewhat of an extension of Sam Huntington's concept of core states and satellite states in a way. So a core he saw civilizational spheres as having like a core state like Russia in the orthosphere and then you have all the satellite states around it you know Eastern Europe the stands and so forth uh Armenia Georgia and they all come under uh inordinate Russian security and economic and cultural influence. Well, that's exactly what we're seeing, but at a global level with the United States at its center and then these satellite civilizations all interconnected in this networking multipolarity. China has been busy building its own world of network multipolarity for the last two decades. Now, as far as Trump is concerned, it's the United States turn. And so the shield of the Americas will first and foremost interlink with NATO. In fact, it was NATO that helped broker the deal that gave the United States embassy-like sovereignty all over uh all over Greenland. NATO remains the Atlantic pillar of this architecture. The traditional US Europe security corps that now explicitly treats cyber and space, right? Technopolarity and astropolarity as operational domains and is slowly being connected to missile defense and space tracking assets anchored in the US Golden Dome. Well, originally Golden Dome, but now Shield of Americas. So in a network sense, NATO is the transatlantic bridge node. It connects US homeland defense to European forces that then plugs into operations in the Mediterranean in the Black Sea and the greater Middle East. And that's where the Abraham Accords come in. Right? This is the great achievement of Trump's first administration. And it turns out to be the third geographic alliance zone in this US brokered horizontal network. So you have your western hemisphere, you've got NATO, and now you've got the Abraham Accords. And what's absolutely key to the Abraham Accords, and this is what you've got to get. You have got to get this because there is so much [ __ ] out there right now, particularly in the right-wing media sphere. What is absolutely essential, and I didn't make up the rules. This is I'm being descriptive, not prescriptive. But what you've got to get is that the Abraham Accords normalize Israel's relationship with the Sunni Arab nation states, the Gulf States. It normalizes Israel's relationships with the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, a number of other Gulf states, creating the political precondition for US aligned security and economic cooperation across the eastern Mediterranean via Israel all throughout the Gulf. This is why it is patently absurd. I'm not making the rules here, gang. It is patently absurd. It is geopolitically absurd to claim Trump is doing the bidding of Israel. It's patently absurd to call this a Zionist war. How on earth is Saudi Arabia fighting a Zionist war? How is Bahrain and Qatar doing the bidding of Israel? This is patent geopolitical nonsense. The Abraham Accords officially eliminate the geopolitical animosity between Israel and the Arab Gulf states. The charge that anyone is doing the bidding of Israel in this war is entirely based on a dichotomy that used to exist that no longer does. It's entirely based on a past animosity between Israel and its wider Arab neighbors. The Abraham Accords have officially nullified that animosity. You got to get that. Regardless, I don't want to get too stuck in that. We could talk about it in the Q&A. The purpose of the Abraham Accords is to create an Israeli Arab alliance that combines Israeli muscle with Arab money for a secure and economically flourishing region. And Iran is the principal impediment to that security and economic flourishing. And this is key. This is key. It turns out it's not really Iran. Iran's just a proxy because it all comes down to this. Who is financing Iran? Who is empowering Iran? Who is Iran's chief financeier? Who is Iran's chief investor? It's none other than China. China is Iran's single most important external economic backer centered on a 25-y year comprehensive strategic partnership in which Beijing has pledged roughly 400 billion dollars of investment into Iran's oil, gas, prochemical and infrastructure se infrastructure sectors. In return, the deal gives China priority access to Iranian oil at steep steep steep steep discount, very very cheap, which has been central to China's business model because they turn around and they sell a lot of that on the global market. So they make a nice profit. One of the ways they create cheap goods is because they're fueled with discounted energy coming from Venezuela and coming from Iran. As sanctions cut Iran off from Western buyers, China has become Thrron's main oil customer. At one point, buying more than 80% of Iran's seaborn crude exports and supplying a financial lifeline that keeps the regime afloat. basically all the weapons that we are facing right now or what remains of them I should say their missiles their drones their anti-aircraft weaponry all of their navy it's all been financed in some way shape or form by China and more and more geopolitical analysts have recognized that the key to this relationship with Iran is that Iran has effectively become China's proxy in the Gulf region And that gives China tacit control over the straight of Ormuz where 20% of the world's energy supply passes through. And when, not if, when when, I'll say that again, when, not if, when when Iran would get a nuclear weapon, that proxy relationship with China, that tacic control that China would have over the major energy choke point in the world would be permanent by every mainstream measure, the Hormuz is effectively the single most important energy choke point on the planet and through its nuclearized Iranian proxy, it would forever be under the tacet control of China. Make no mistake, the Hormuz was the biggest prize. It was the crown jewel in this growing Chineseworked multipolarity. De facto control over the straight of Hormuz and making Iran in effect their vassal state was the key to achieving precisely that. And so there was no way we could allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. No way. by taking out Iran as the latest in this reccalibration of the world around this US brokered horizontal network. The Shield of the Americas, NATO, the Abraham Accords. Trump is accomplishing two grand strategies in one fell swoop. He's awakening the peace and prosperity for the Middle East secured by the Abraham Accords. And he is radically weakening China by cutting it off from its most destabilizing clients, its cheapest sanctioned oil lifelines, and its ability to use the Gulf as a weapon against the West. Case in point, have you seen this? Take a look at this. China is ordering its big refiners to suspend exports of diesel and gasoline. Remember that cheap gas they get that they then turn around and resell. They ain't doing it no more. It's a classic tighten the bell move belt move. It's a different kind of belt and road initiative. This is the tight the tighten the belt initiative that governments make when they fear their own supplies are at risk. It's a it's a very clear signal that Beijing is worried about disrupting crude flows from both Iran and Venezuela approximately again 20% of its oil all at reduced prices. And so it feels compelled to hoard refined products at home instead of earning money by selling them abroad. In a system where China still imports roughly half its oil from the Middle East and is the biggest buyer of ultra cheap Iranian barrels, that kind of export freeze is a telltale sign that the war and the squeeze on Iran are already biting into China's energy security and economic comfort. So once again, in one fell swoop, by taking out the Iranian regime, Trump is eliminating the single greatest impediment to peace and prosperity in the Middle East and thereby securing American influence for generations to come and at the same time significantly weakening China. And here's how we bring it all together. A weaken China means what? A weak in China means what? It means a stronger India and a stronger Japan. And that brings us to the final two US brokered alliances in this astonishing horizontal global network, the ITU2 and the Quad. So you may not have know these two, but they're very important. They're going to become incredibly important in the years to come. So the I2U2 alliance is an Israelind India alliance. Do you see how everything is interconnected from from the Americas through Greenland to NATO and then from NATO into Israel from Israel all throughout the Middle East and then from Israel to India and South Asia. It's an alliance between Israel and well it's so it's Israel India and it's the UAE and the US. So that's why you got two I's and two U's. I too India, Israel, UAE and the US. And it's an alliance that combines Indian power and technology with Israeli innovation uh Emirates capital and American security guarantees. So it links the Atlantic system, the Shield of Americas to the Indian Ocean via Israel, the Gulf and India. And then that links to the Quad. And you better make sure you know this alliance here. The Quad is made up of the United States, India. So there's our launchpad, Australia, and Japan. The Quad is widely described as the core of US strategy in a multi-polar Indo-Pacific as a platform coordinating security, tech, and maritime posture among these four major democracies. And so this is one of the major reasons why more and more analysts believe that perhaps the biggest winner in the Iran war is none other than Tokyo. China's biggest competitor for Southeast Asia dominance is Japan. Japan has its own belt and road initiative, the Partnership for Quality Investment and Infrastructure, which is every bit as aggressive as Beijing's. And dare I say, since I since I've been in Japan multiple times and I've talked to many people, it's a it has far better quality as well. They say if you're driving in a in on a road say in one of the countries in Africa that's been built up either by the partnership for quality investment infrastructure of Japan or by the belt and road initiative of China while you're driving along and it's smooth and it's nice and all of a sudden you hit this bumpy road the joke is ah you just crossed over into China's belt and road initiative built project. Bottom line, a weaker Beijing means a stronger Tokyo. And so, is it any wonder why we are now seeing Japan remilitarize? President Trump is all for this. He's consistently pressured Japan to increase its military spending, aiming to have them reach NATO level targets of 5% of their GDP and take a more active independent role in regional security to reinforce US forces. So he's advocated for Japan to expand its defense capabilities to counter regional threats. And their new prime minister, Sona A Takayichi, hardcore conservative nationalist populist, closed the borders. She's she's the Trump of the East. She's all in. As is the vast majority of the Japanese population. It's very very popular to get what is it? Get rid of uh Article 9 in their constitution. That makes them officially a pacifist nation. And so that's Trump's vision for an American civilizationalist order. It starts with the Shield of the Americas, the US, Canada, and key Latin Caribbean partners forming a hemispheric ring around our own backyard. And from there, that ring snaps into Greenland and NATO, stretching American power across the Atlantic into Europe. And then you layer that onto the Abraham Accords and the I2U2 Israel, the Gulf and India linking the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean and a single Indo-Arabrahamic arc and at the far end the quad US, India, Japan and Australia closing the circuit giving you a single horizontal network of alliances that runs from the Caribbean through Europe, the Gulf all the way to Tokyo with America as the constant node holding it together. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what is really going on here. That's what this is all about. the convergence of technopolitics, astropolitics, and geopolitics that reawakens American civilization in literally its highest cosmic expression. That's why my new book that I'm writing on is called the Civcosm, the civilizational cosmocracy. Uh, MAGA is ultimately a literal galactic vision of American greatness and limitless potential. The the Tenia is being eclipsed by the American cosmocracy that is growing as we speak. As it turns out, this is not China's century, as so many analysts predicted with their worked multipolarity. No, this is America's century. This is a century where the United States will tacitly control nearly 60% of global oil production and an even larger share of globally traded oil and LNG. The petro dollar stays. As of this week, the petro dollar stays. The petro dollar ain't going away. And therefore, American power and might isn't going away. This is a century where America will sit at the center of over half the world's energy production. A nation wired together. An entire arc of civilizational blocks from the Caribbean to the Gulf to the Indo-acific projecting peace through strength from orbit down to Earth. It is the refusal to seed the heavens to tyrants, the insistence that American ingenuity, faith, and courage will define the next age of history, not Beijing's techno athoritarianism or Tyrron's death cult. In that sense, MAGA is not a backward glance, but a forward charge. an American civilization that dares to think in civilizational and cosmic terms. But most importantly, with President Trump at the helm, this America has the will to act on it. Over to you. Over to you. Your turn. And I want to hear what you have to I've been blabbering for what an hour as Josh our moderator puts together your question. Did you know that the United States life expectancy actually peaked at 78 years back in 2014 and global life expectancy is declining for the first time in 30 years because people are aging faster than ever before. And this is largely due to more toxins in the air, chemicals in our soil and food and other external factors that are new to us. What most people don't know is that we can actually fight aging on a cellular level. Scientists have discovered that kimchi actually slows the aging process of human cells, helping to protect them and delay aging. The power of nature can outweigh the power of pharmaceuticals without the nasty side effects. And now you can get all the benefits of kimchi in a simple capsule with Kimchi 1. I take Kimchi 1 every single day. I absolutely love it. Each capsule delivers over 900 probiotic strains, plus antioxidants and enzymes that support your digestion, your metabolism, and skin health from the inside out.

What do we got, gang? Uh Diane. And Diane, why why did it take so long for the mainstream media to acknowledge that the Iranian revolution guard missile hit the girl school after the war in Iran started immediately after the school hit Iranian people called out uh immediately after the school hit uh Iranian people called out the IRGC but several outlets in the US and UK blame USIsrael military still haven't heard apologies. Great po that's great uh Diane. Yeah. Um yeah, look uh yeah, don't don't hold your breath with the legacy media. They they are actively rooting against America. The legacy media is post American. Okay, that's what you have to get. Remember, it's not left versus right anymore. It's American versus Post-American. We even have post Americans on the right, unfortunately. Um so, uh post Americans believe that the country is inherently evil and therefore must must ultimately be destroyed in one way or the other. um and then remade in the image of the haters, whoever they happen to be, and uh in this case, cultural Marxists. So, um by definition, the legacy media roots for our enemies. Just it's it's horrible. It's terrible. The good news again is as you see with the polls, the vast majority of the people don't. That's why they're turning off the legacy media. That's why I love to say the legacy media is saying this stuff to their rapidly dwindling audience. But I think that's the reason I think uh now I mean I could be well why be fair to somebody who hates your country? Well I could be fair to them and say they had to corroborate. They had to confirm. Even Fox News I think by Wednesday had yet to uh had yet to confirm that it was an IRGC um munition uh that blew up the school. But nevertheless, uh uh it just I think they earn our our collective eye. I had a AOC moment there. Um they earn our collective eye of being so radically anti-American uh as they are. Joe, will we ever see the end of Congresswoman Omar? I'm so sick of her and all the other foreignb born members of Congress. Yes. So if our politics is turning into Americans versus postamericans um our our uh elections are turning into um uh US-born versus non US-born citizens, right? So and what we found is Mam Donnie won the vast majority of non USborn citizens as does Ilhan Omar. So that's the that's the electoral outworking of an America versus postamea frame. Uh, I don't know the answer to that, Joe. I wish I could tell you. Uh, I would love to see the end of that parody of repulsiveness. Uh, but um, you know, uh, let her keep yapping away. Trump has accomplished thus far the seemingly impossible. So, you never know. Deborah, am I the only one who thinks the fact that the President Trump campaigned on new wars and holding him to it is silly? things change in a world full of countries that some want to uh destroy you. Yeah. No, Deborah, you um Well, okay. So, let me be fair to both sides here. No, you're not wrong because the world does change. Of course, it does change. The world is dynamic and of course, everybody expects that President Trump is going to defend our national security if it's under threat. Um, on the other side though, if if you kind of if you reduce it to no more wars, that's it. No more wars, which is I understand has never been Trump's position. It's never been no more wars. It's no more endless wars. It's no more uh feudal wars. It's it's no more stupid wars, globalist wars. No more of that. That's go the era of the liberal globalist international order um uh security strike of the United States is over because that involves the nation building. It involves troops on the ground. Involves making them liberal democrats and you know basically turning them into Ilhan Omars and all. No, we're not doing that. We're not doing it. As Jack Poppic was saying last night, the new Jonian policy of Trump um is uh uh you know, no greater friend, no greater enemy. We stay at home. We uh we create our alliances. Uh but once any of those alliances are threatened, we will come in and we will knock out the threat. We don't care what replaces it, but we will knock out the threat. That's exactly what we saw with Venezuela. So, it's decapitate and then delegate. We're going to get rid of your leadership and then you guys figure out who you're going to replace them, but if we're not happy with who you replace, we're going to knock them out as well. And there's nothing you can do because we have technopolar and geopolitical uh technopolar and astropolar dominance. So, there's nothing you can do. That's just the way it's going to be. So, Trump never promised no war. What he promises is no more endless wars, no more protracted wars, no more stupid wars, no more like full boots on the ground, full occupation, hundreds of thousands of soldiers with thousands of body bags coming back to do air force base. That's what he promised. So, I notice a lot of the critique of this war depends on a lot of facious thinking and and part of that facious thinking is reductionism. Uh, and and decon and what you're what you're talking about is decontextualization, which is funny because that's what the woke left does. Decontextualization is, you know, racism, racism. Just you just what you do is you lift out some social phenomenon out of its context. It's its social, cultural, historical context, and then you just slap it on anything you don't like without any context whatsoever. But anything without a context is a pretext. It's a it's actually being weaponized. And so what I'm finding is a lot of people right now, especially on the right, are criticizing Trump. Not a lot, it's a small vocal super minority, but they are criticizing Trump by uh decontextualizing this. No more wars. No more wars. When in point, in fact, as you're pointing out, the world can change in such a way where a war is fully justified. Brian, my good friend, in some sense, Fox News is kind of legacy media light. They show a poll that Trump's opposition at more than 60%, the ones you referenced show the opposite. Yeah, I totally believe in the rightness of getting rid of the Iranian leaders, missiles, and nukes. But I'm concerned that there are enough weak-minded folks uh who vote them in the midterm. Sure. Sure. Well, there may be, but again, you have so so uh it's again it's the it's corroboration, right? We we know this in our in our academic background. We're doing a study and we find one poll. What's the first thing we're going to do? All right. Well, let me corroborate that. How h how are other polling outlets with different methodologies coming to to either similar or discrepant conclusions? And so that's what I I gave you tonight. Again, even CNN Harry Anton admitting uh that Trump's approval, particularly among his base, is is is through the roof. Um and uh he is suffering, as I understand it, pretty consistently, suffering is, you know, uh in quotation marks among independents, but that's that's independents are like you're kind of saying they're swinging voters. And you know, I think you I think you just diagnosed a swing voter. Um they're swing voters. So they do this all the time. They they voted for Biden in 2020 20 and then by 2022 they they completely soured on him. They voted for Obama in 2008. By 2010 they completely soured on him. Helped bring in this massive Republican tsunami in the in the midterms. So that's what that just independents do what they're going to do there. That's not a big deal. The um the big deal is the extent to which we're seeing it impact the upcoming midterms. So far, the polls right now, outside of some outliers, the polls suggest it is a very tight race, which is a disaster for the party out of power. The party out of power should be up big time, especially Democrats since their demographics are so concentrated in coastal elite metropolises, cosmopolises. So, um when you spread the uh that kind of polling across the um district maps, it's uh it doesn't work out well for the Democrats. Plus, we also have uh the voter registration totals and they're they're Republicans just continue to crush it. So, oh, what's his name that I follow on X if you um is it PSAR? Why am I pulsar Michael? I forget. But he I mean he puts uh he puts updates every almost every day, every week on the latest uh voter registration data coming from the 30 states that m that track voter registration by party. And Republicans are up in all of them. And they've been up now for what the last six years, five to six years. So it's a major paradigm shift. Uh, your your backyard Florida is getting deeper and deeper and deeper red. I just saw the numbers of that earlier this week, actually. Just it's insane. Florida is going to be deeper red than Texas probably in 2026. It's absolutely stunning. Although Texas continues to get deeper deeper red, but um so anyway, you use those other corroborating um factors and things aren't they don't seem again, I will be the first to panic. Don't worry, you guys know that. I I'll be the first to say, "All right, this ain't looking good. Prep yourselves." Right. Prepare for impact. Phillips, Iranians are having bombing parties, celebrating their liberation. So, you're seeing that, right? That was our first video, one of them. I mean, again, there is something going on here. I mean obviously they yet and it and it also shows how confident they feel uh in the precision strike capacity of both Israel and the United States. It's stunning that um uh that Iranians, you know, just your average Iranian in say in Thran seems to have more confidence in Israel than some right-wing influencers. It's it's it's astonishing. So, the one and only BW, I miss the days of the atom bomb. Now, Dr. Steve, what do you think of Iran hitting our bases? Yeah, you know, it was um I mean, that was going to happen. They were prepared for it. And uh and that all the casualties, as I understand, the six casualties were in the strike of the base in in Kuwait. um where uh I don't know if it was a one-way drone or what got through, but it was it obviously caused a lot of damage, but um no, all the u assessment sentcom assessment that I've read was that the uh the damage was minimal. again, they were expecting it and they've been able to eradicate the vast majority of their um offensive uh weaponry um particularly their ballistic missiles before they are before they impact MAGA 24 Dr. See, earlier this week on Monday, I saw a political article that features John Bolton as their expert. Of course, of course, they're going to bring out the neocons now, right? But also saw Bolton being interviewed by News Nation on TV about Iran. How can someone accused of revealing national secrets, which is treason, be used as a credible news source? Great question, Maggot 24. Great question. I Well, I was reading that, I was just thinking like, oh gosh, here comes the neocons dancing and so forth. Uh, and you guys might have a question here. I don't think Trump became neocon. I think neocons became Trumpians. I think he converted them to his jonian foreign policy, which is not neoconism. Emphatically, not neoconism. But there are some overlaps in that it's going to hit outside uh the the immediate periphery of the United States. Yeah. I I I love the way you're you're thinking and you're really calling out incredible uh irresponsibility on the legacy media, but they don't care. They're all they're traders. They're all traders. They hate America. Gender neutral. You got me, man. I saw the Jen. I'm like, "All right, I I can get this name." Gender neutral. I feel I feel like the bartender. It's a bartender in the Simpsons. Amanda Hug and kiss. Is there an Amanda Hugiss? I need Amanda Hug and kiss. Thanks for your informative coverage and kind spirit. Thank you, Jen. Very, very kind. Thank you. Genderneutral. Very kind of clank clank. I'm a tank. I would rather see Senator Mullen going against John Thoon for majority leader. Sure. Sure. We all would. There's something in the works going on there. We'll see what happens. Um, again, I don't maybe maybe it is Thun's fault. I don't necessarily fault Thun in terms of the standing um filibuster um not enforcing it because it it looks like he's just dealing with the the typical four, five rhinos that are like, "No, I'm not going to go with that. No, I'm not going to go with that." So, um anyway, I think we're good. Uh Senator Mullen will be will be awesome as uh Homeland Security Secretary. It'll be absolutely awesome actually. Uh Markover Kamei did on 911. Oh, on the Muslim calendar and just days before PM Jewish holiday, right? Celebrating God's deliverance, right? From the book of Esther. Yes. Excellent. Coincidence or God? My money is on God. Yeah. And the Soviet Union fell on Christmas Day, December 25th, 1991. Yeah. I mean there there does seem to be some incredible uh convergence um going on right now. uh the world is changing dramatically. What during the Biden years and this is one of the my sort of meta arguments here. During the Biden years, the world was clearly moving towards China, towards Russia that certainly after the disastrous cobble pull out um in Afghanistan. Uh Vladimir Putin was basically the center of the world. The world world powers realized they could not count on the United States for their security guarantees. So they started to look to China. they start to look to Russia. Uh even China in the Middle East, its presence was growing enormous. It helped broker the Raproma between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Um you know, it it's uh it's buying up 80% of Iran's oil at cheap cheap cheap prices and then reselling it. It was getting uh Iran as a full-blown proxy that would do its bidding at Hormuz. So I mean for for clearly four years we were seeing a multi-olar world shift decisively in the direction of China, Russia and India. And now it's in in a way that astonishes even your patriot professor. It is shifting like I never dreamed it would right back to America. Not as a unipolar power. We're not trying to enforce a liberal international order. We are trying we are creating a mirrored network multipolarity to that which was create it's been created by China and instead of China having absolute dominance in a rising multipolar world it looks like America will continue that dominance. So uh you know to the extent that God is blessing America I think you're you're right on it. Dr. Steve, did the missile heading for Turkey change NATO's mind on involvement? I I think so. I think again I think they knew this. All of this has been war gamed out. So um so clearly uh the uh it was intercepted, it was shot down, but that doesn't matter. It was directed to hitting uh a NATO nation. And um we're already seeing Mark Ruda uh the uh the NATO um general secretary uh Georgia Maloney of uh Italy uh yes even Kier Starmer. Yes, even Manuel Macron France. Yes, even yes even that embarrassment Sanchez in uh in Spain. They are all starting to send um naval air um missile equipment into into the uh into the region. There's again there there's just there's really nothing. I mean Iran has been at this point completely isolated. It's got its bruised proxies of Hezbollah trying to wage a war on Iran from the north. The Houthis are calculating. They're waiting for some time to strike uh from Yemen and um but outside of that they got nothing and and the world is just bas India is 100% behind us. All the Gulf States are 100% behind us. Israel, of course, and now all of NATO and and Russia and China are backing off going, "Hey, you know, it was nice knowing you." Well, happy Friday, Dr. Steve. Why isn't the USA using our biggest resource and weapon, oil, to supply the world? The worry about the straight horm being blocked should be the catalyst to send China and Russia our oil under certain conditions. Or am I being naive? So the worry about straight of I think I I think I get what you're saying. Yeah. Um I think what I get what you're saying. No. Well, so so back up. The straight of Ormuz is in jeopardy right now in terms of its uh in terms of its uh ability to to navigate. It's in jeopardy because of China. Ultimately, it's China that's weaponized Hormuz. China financially supports um Iran. 80% of its crude oil goes to goes to China. Um and uh now China likes Hormuz open because uh 40% of its oil comes from Hormuz from the other Gulf states. But I think they see it as a a form of national security to depend on Iran, the Gulf States, and Russia uh and used to be Venezuela on their oil, not the United States. They don't want to be dependent on the United States any more than we want to be dependent on China for anything. Remember all trade is being nationalized right now. This is the age of economic nationalism, mercantalism. So um so this I believe is the primary reason why we've gone into this war to prevent uh a to to prevent Iran from going nuclear which will permanently solidify China's tacit control over Hormuz. But we're selling I mean we produce 20% of the world's oil and we're selling tons of it all over. Uh now we just have um what is it 30% a third of Venezuelan oil is either now coming into our country again very cheap right they're doing all the work for us so it's immediate oil goes into oil reserves and so forth or it's it's being sold through um US broker channels so and we're getting a a piece of the pie as it were Benton how now a Most reverend professor, we remove Kamei from his mortal existence only to have his son replace him. He's as bad as father, even worse. Will we keep playing whack-a-ole with these Shiite leaders until none are left? Yes. Yes. Decapitate and delegate. Yes. And again, we have the technology to do it. So, um, with the technology of being able to not only, uh, to be able to pinpoint the, uh, the precise location of a target, but then take him out with pinpoint accuracy. There's just, there's nothing they can do. It's part of the escalation ladder. Eventually, you realize, you know what, there's got to be a different way to do this. But Trump has made that absolutely clear all this week. You you're going to have a leader we approve of. There's no way around that. No way around that. And we'll just get we it's no problem for us. You, you know, uh we could just we can blow you up, take you out, and now you're back to square one. If you want to keep doing that, if you want to play shoots and ladders where you think you're finally going to end it, and then we're just going to knock you all the way back down to the beginning of the board. And eventually that just and then keep in mind UAE has suspended payments to uh uh to Iran. They they were the chief what were they weren't they the chief banker for Iran. So um so China's the chief financeier. They're the chief banker. They're Switzerland for Iran. They they've cut off all their money. So Iran has no money. Uh it has no uh allies. It's running out of its weapons. And just eventually they're going to figure out they've got nothing. And then even, you know, even emperor Hedo had to uh had to uh had to surrender even with the most a comparable kind of kamicazi mentality. Robo guy, I'm mixed on the war. For one, we got too many issues like rhinos stalling the Save America. Amen. The DHS shutdown, etc. However, the fact that it's going quick and efficient, I'm impressed with. Make Persia Persia. Yeah. Or make Iran a Persia again. Yeah. Meepa. Right. Right. There you go. Um Oh, no. I'm with you. No question about it. It's, you know, uh I I think I think there is a a a profoundly valid concern over any milit US outright full-blown US military conflict in the Middle East. and we thought in many ways we weren't going to get th this anymore. Going back going back to his speeches. That was a little naive. He he certainly said no more no more stupid wars, no more endless wars, no more protracted wars, no more uh wars where we end up cultivating a regime change reflective of liberal globalist values. No, those days are over. Uh, globalism is dead. Neoconism is dead. This is Jack. But this is a foreign policy that goes back all the way back to the to the uh uh Department of War. This is jonian foreign policy, which is we we buildworked alliances around the world. And the reason why people want to align with us is because we there is no better friend and there's no better enemy. So whenever they are in trouble uh militarily, we come to their aid and we crush the enemy. We use overwhelming force. We fight. I'm I'm just going to be blunt. We fight like men and then we leave and we tell the enemy, "Don't do it again and we'll be back and we and we'll make it even worse." Right? So um so I'm with you. There's plenty of problems here at home. the SAVE Act is very frustrating. Uh you name it. But um and the defunding of the Department of Homeland Security thankfully I found out that we they frontloaded the funding for ICE. So ICE is still being funded. But you know, I mean just the security uh um at airports and so they're they're being uh they're being defunded. It's just Yeah, I mean it's crazy in that sense. And and and again, legacy media doesn't care. They're perfectly They're post American zealots. They don't care. So, yes. Yes. And I think Trump shows he can walk and chew gum at the same time. We can do domestic issues and international issues. We can fight a two two-front war as it were. And we're certainly justified in being a bit skittish uh on uh of war in in the Middle East. But I really I like how you put it. You know, I'm very impressed how quick and efficient this is going. And uh and it is it's pretty it's pretty astonishing. I one analyst said something akin to we've accomplished more in a week than we were able to accomplish like in 40 days or something of of bombing in in uh Desert Storm or in in the shock and all campaign in 2003. So this is this is new warfare that he's that he's using. So there you go. I I again I feel very confident that Trump re Trump knows that if we're going to have a midterm convention, the Republicans are going to have to have um a record to run on and it can't just be the big beautiful bill. It's got to it's got to grow beyond that. And so I think Save Act will be a part of that. Robert, I'm confused. Is there a difference between Sunni and Shia Islam? I've heard the two but wasn't sure how they work. There there are I'm not an expert in the field at all. But there are so Sunni Islam is about 85% of Islam around the world. Shiite make up the other 15%. I I forget where they um they put in uh the Sufis is more of a mystical uh sect, but um I I don't know what percentage they make, but uh yeah, Shiites are kind of like, for lack of better term, and I've I've actually asked a Muslim a Shiite, I'm sorry, a Sunni Muslim this question. Is it kind of like, and he agreed with this analogy, it's kind of like Protestants versus Catholics. So um the Sunnis are uh Protestant uh they believe in in effect like the priesthood of all believers. You can come directly before God just through prayer and it's it's you and God kind of relationship. Whereas the Shiites have a whole tradition structure that they put in there, a whole leadership structure, a whole um uh uh genealogy uh structure. They changed the aan, which is the cult of prayer, uh, around their tradition. So, there are a lot of Sunnis that don't buy Shiites. They don't even think Shiites are Muslim. The fellow I was talking to didn't buy that Shiites were actually Muslims. And ISIS uh, was could be just as brutal to Shiites as they were to infidels because they saw no difference. I ISIS was a a Sunni supremacist movement unlike al-Qaeda that tried to bring the two together. Marxon Christianity has been spreading in Iran. Now at last they don't have to hide their worship. Little red Bibles are spreading. A new mindset growing. That is what I've read. I've got to continue to I've got to dig deep into the data on that. But I've read uh the the one place where Christianity is exploding is uh is in Iran. It it kind of makes sense too with their Zoroastrian um civilizational tradition. Christianity might be seen sort of as a via media between Islam and that Zoroastrianism. Mark uh died not did autocorrect. Oh, did uh died. Autocorrect was giving me a hard time. Okay. Autocorrect. Darn autocorrect. Sean, hi Steve. Is Tucker agnostic? He's describing every course of action taken as the wrong one, but then says he's not obligated to say what is right. Oh, interesting. Is he I didn't think so. No, I thought he was uh very much a a Christian. Um I don't I just don't know. I don't I've never met uh I've never met Tucker. I've never been on a show or anything like that. I know people who know Tucker and they've only said wonderful things about him, but um but yeah, there is there are there are I'm noticing an increased volume of concern uh about some of the things that Tucker has been um has been saying of late. It is a kind I don't know, you know, we can get into it. Um there is a bit of a there is the notion of virtual reality in our um in our understanding of the world. We're all on online, right? And um and virtual reality can seem just as real as um what do you want to call it? Like a visceral reality, right? Um real physical reality. So um and and what we can do is we we can we can create we can create very plausible worlds for ourselves uh inside um inside that virtual reality. I mean to develop it further there is a Portuguese scholar by the name of Bruno Mosai and uh he calls it virtualism and um his idea in a nutshell is that um America has evolved into a virtual society where politics and culture are increasingly taking place in constructive in constructed digital narrative worlds. rather than in shared you know physical visceral reality. So American life in his view he uses the term leans into it leans into make believe uh people choose the story world they want to inhabit and they treat it as more important than actual the empirical physical stuff outside of us. Right? Uh, and this is long before literal VR, literal virtual reality headsets, you know, uh, came into the picture. And so, you know, I mean, you'll see, I mean, there are people out there who are actually insisting that Iran is winning this war. I've I've listened to some of their podcasts. I've listened to some of their arguments. Um they they'll they'll say that uh um our our our bases in the region, our American bases were completely destroyed or that they have these they have these miracle weapons that they just haven't used yet, but they're there. Just wait. And you know, I mean, I'm I looked at I researched everything and I can only conclude they're inhabiting a virtualist political world that um feels more real to them and their audiences than uh verifiable uh facts. So you're seeing online ecosystems like you know Telegram or whatever that really intensify this by by letting people live inside these self-contained virtual universes and you know Americans we we do that and we live in multiple realities we coexist we have we have par we have a physical reality and we have a digital reality you know so it's interesting because when you said why why this hitting me is when you said that you said agnostic. I my eyes fell on the Gnostic. Sean, are you familiar with the Gnostics? The Gnostics believed they had a secret. N these this is an ancient belief system became very very popular in the second century. Christians uh were were very adamantly opposed to it. Um because they were using Christian narrative to try to bolster their view. But Gnostics had a a dualist view of the world. There's the physical world and there's the spiritual world. And you need a special knowledge. That's what ginosco means. Gnostic. Agonosco is the no knowledge. Um you need a spe special knowledge of this hidden world in order to understand what's really happening. And and there you need a seer. You need a teacher, a mentor to draw you in, to help you see the world rightly. And the whole idea is to escape the physical world and get united in the spiritual world. So there is a school of thought known as technosis or technosticism that argues that our tech are digital cyber technologies do encourage gnostic like tendencies and that I see Candace Owens as a full-blown gnostic. That's how I see her. And when I'm I don't I got it I'm just this is not a this is not a dig or anything. I just don't listen to Tucker Mode. I don't listen to a lot of podcasts. I actually I read more um their transcripts because it's just quicker. I can read fast. So I can get a I can get a 40 minute podcast digested in just a few minutes. And that's what helps me prepare uh uh our research for you. But I am getting the sense from what I'm hearing that there is a uh there is a strange kind of um gnostic bent uh to to the things you said. But again, that's through third person uh testimony. That's that's not me per se. Great question, Sean. Excellent question. The Landon LeeBW. Shout out to Susan Kokinda and Barbara at Prodate Channel. You know, Dr. Steve, you know Dr. Steve, do do Kinda. Oh, I'm bad with names. Pro update channel. But God bless you guys. Yeah, absolutely. We always love having uh our online community here where we're in touch with the real world, the visceral world as much as we can be. Thank you for that, London. Dr. Steve, you still think Scotas will rule in favor of the VRA and in time for mids? Yes, I think they will rule. Yeah, I'm I'm I'm breathing out because it's very frustrating. They were supposed to rule this week and that was going to be a fun video because yes, I do think they're going to shoot it down. Uh, I heard Alito is uh reading. Word on the street is Alto is uh writing the majority opinion. So, so they're gonna strike it down. Um, when is it coming out? If it ain't this week or in the next few weeks, it may not be till June. And that may be too late. We'll see. We'll see how other we'll see how uh I mean I once the the the power with this one this decision is that the 19 plus blue districts that would turn red are are are now rendered unconstitutional. So so this is more than just redistricting. You're you're handcuffed in terms of procedure of what you can do. But if now you're running a a an election in a district that is has been seen to be as uh as discriminatory against whites, it is null and void and then they can they can start a fresh and they just better make those solid red, put in a relatively good candidate and we're good to go. So there you go. So yes, I think I think we're going to get the decision. Um and again, I'm just going by the information I have. I could be wrong, but but that seems pretty pretty um pretty certain. Well, again, you know, you always have to you have to be cautiously cautiously optimistic, but I don't know when we'll get the decision. Uh Mark, thank you for your presentation's hard work for those who don't have the time. I hope your audience grows exponentially. We are on a thin thread. Oh, thank you, Mark. Yes. No, thank you very much. very kind of you France with what's going on in Venezuela and Cuba combined with securing the Panama Canal what would the US controlling the straight of Hormuz do for stabilizing world trade yeah so bottom line um it is turning the governance of the straight of Hormuz over to a stable uh highly secured prosperous Abraham cords alliance. So no longer will you have a Chinese proxy uh weaponizing the straight of horm. The straight of hormuz now will be available to all um and uh with the free flow of 20% of the world's energy uh with no longer a Chinese proxy using it as a weapon. So you'll have less disruptions uh on the market. uh probably you'll have the the uh price uh go down significantly because of the peace and prosperity there. And then keep in mind it is civilizationally um zoned out for Israel and the Arabs. So, Israel might Arab money is going to be the uh social, cultural, political, economic dynamic that um provides the uh the balance of power and security in that region with the United States there and its might needed uh there available if needed. Less more, how does the Iran war affect the Russia Ukraine war? It seems that Russia's supply of drones is now cut off. Yeah, that's Yeah, that's the bottom line for the war itself. Seems to me it's the drone supply. Um I don't think Iran was getting involved um yeah very much with drone very much with uh uh military with munitions manufacturing. Um that's been going on since boy I think from the very beginning since 22 and uh and then they would have a major munitions uh uh producer and industry cut off bottom line. Yeah. Yeah. Russia does not seem to have the kind of relationship with um with Iran the way China does where where it's sort of this vassel state uh relation where China's basically financing um Iran it's Russia it's it's more Russia has very good relationships with geopolitically I've again this is one of the things that I've been trying to explain to people since February of 2022 too, right? Um, I I've been trying to explain I know I took a lot of people thought I took a very unpop Well, I did I took a very unpopular opinion of that war. I I analyze it through the prism same prism I'm using here of great power politics and um and clearly uh you know NATO I argued NATO had overstepped into and encroached into a civilizational hegemony where a red line was was drawn and Putin enforced that uh red line. Um just same thing here we've got a Middle Eastern region with no hegeimon. There's no hegeimon until Iran gets the bomb. Once Iran gets the bomb, it becomes the hegeimon permanently in that region. There's nothing anyone from that point uh from that point on can do about it. And as a proxy of China by definition, now China uh calls the shots uh in the Middle East. And so without any hegeimon, that Chinese incursion with the attempt to be the hegeimon became the trigger uh for the United States to say that's it. Nope, we're going to be the hegeimon. We're going to we're going to come in and or at least the Abraham Accord alliance is going to be the hegemonic uh civilization there. So uh so those yeah bottom line that's uh that's what I think uh Russia's affected by munitions manufacturing being cut off at to the extent that they were dependent on Iran. Uh Lizzie I was unassigned this military action but after listening to this I now understand and fully support this actual Thank you Lizzie I think it's very kind. Uh yeah and uh yeah no I get again you I I have I have uh I yeah I there is nothing at all wrong with being very uncomfortable and not supportive of what's going on where I think the wrong because again just you you've earned that right given given the past failures that we've seen uh over the last I mean tonight I was going to in that 20 years and so forth. Look at what happened with Vietnam. You name it. I mean, so um no, you're you have every right uh to that, but uh to that skepticism and that concern. What I don't have any patience for is the uh ridiculous justific I the only justification for me that really makes sense outside of a whole virtual reality reconstructed uh frame of reference that basically thinks you know Iran's winning and all that sort of stuff that I've also encountered. But um the the only thing that uh makes sense to me really in the end is dude I just can't stomach this [ __ ] no more. I'll just be blunt. just can't stomach it. All right. Every time I see I see, you know, ships going to battle, uh, sordies in the air and and, uh, troops by the tens of thousands in the Persian Gulf, I I just think Iraq 2.0. I can't help it. That's all I see. And I don't I What was I listening to? What's her name? Cat on um on Gutfeld. Um, she's a libertarian. So I She's She's like a broken clock. She's right twice a day. But um but she's married to a serviceman and so you know she said you know this this really makes us nervous given and I think he was in Iraq or Afghanistan and this given what we've been through totally cool get it 100% and I'm not being patronizing. Totally cool. You definitely are. If anyone's entitled to an perspective or opinion definitely you are and I get it. Um I just hope you and she is. She's very respectful. I hope you understand why he's doing it. Okay, you may not buy it or whatever, but you understand why he's What I don't buy is the doomer ridiculous um right-wing media that is uh as making the charge that this is just the forgive me for being this blunt that Trump is just BB's [ __ ] That is that is beyond I mean there I don't I'm not going to say I almost said it but that's more just a visceral reaction on my end. I was going to say they're showing their true colors. I'm not going there. I don't want to go there. But if you believe first of all this war is being waged on Israel's behalf, you need to talk to Muhammad bin Salman sometime because he was every bit uh uh a a cheerleader for this war. as was Netanyahu. Uh you need to talk to Qatar sometime. You need to talk to Bahrain sometime. Uh and ask them if they are if they are uh doing the bidding of Zionists. I mean, I guess so. I mean, I guess it gets that in say, "Oh, yeah, they're all sold out. They only they only want money." Yeah. All right. Well, there you go. I mean, but uh obviously for me that doesn't make sense because the Abraham Accords blow that dichotomy that that um that that opposition that animosity apart. Doing Israel's bidding means uh fulfilling Israel's interests in the region over and against Arab interest centered on the Palestinians and so forth. Now, Israel's interest is Arab interest. They've aligned perfectly. NATO interest is Arab interest. They've aligned. So to claim that they're doing the bidding of the JZ is just it again, it's just sort of this decontextualized and and I've been I've been the first to talk about on this channel. the Jewish lobby. I'm not I know I've been called lots of names this week, but I've been the first to talk about John Mirshimer's thesis, decades old thesis of of the Jewish lobby and it's an ordinate influence in Congress. I've never shied away from that. I've admitted that fully. But that's also Congress, not necessarily presidents, number one. And uh number two, that presupposed the animosity between Israelis and Arabs. that animosity is gone right now. Now, does it have things to work out? Sure. But the Abraham Accords are precisely the uh the structure that was needed, the alliance, the treaty that was needed in order to make what's happening today possible. You're also keep in mind this if you are if your argument against this war is rooted in disparaging President Trump's character, saying he can be manipulated, saying that he got duped, uh saying that he he betrayed, you're no different than a Democrat. The entire Democrat argument against Trump is rooted in his moral degeneracy and that's exactly what you are arguing. So you're no different. So again, I'm not saying it's showing you your true colors. I do no because we can we can be angry. We can be upset. We can um we can fail to understand what's really happening and then when we fail to I do it, everyone does it. when we fail to understand right in our relationships I don't understand my wife so what DO I DO AH WHAT DO YOU DO you know when we when we encounter something we can't understand can't make sense of it we default to decontextualize slogans you always do that well that's just you being this or just you being this so we we lift out past sins and we throw accusations of those sins regardless of the context exactly what the woke left does with racism, but we see the woke right doing that with Zionism, don't we? It's exactly what the woke left does with, you know, white supremacy, but, you know, we're seeing the woke woke right doing it with uh with it's the Jews. So, anyway, I've got no I just, you know, if that's you, if that's you, you know, all not you, Lizzie. I know that's not you, but for the listener, if that's you, all all more power to you, but you're not you don't got a friend here. I'm not helping you. I'm I'm sorry. I'm an analyst. I will go where the I took, for lack of a better term, I took Russia's side in February 2022 in the SMO and you can see all the videos I did on it. Never wavered once. Uh Russia from a vantage point of great power politics, Russia acted fully rationally. And what did I get? Oh, that's Russian propaganda. You're that's just Russian propag. You're you're a Putin stoogge. Uh uh uh Putin's just trying to rebuild the Soviet Union. Putin's just an evil man. Don't you see what evil is? How do you defend evil? Yeah, I just have Guys, hopefully you don't come to this channel for that nonsense. There's plenty of other influencers influencers will give you that. There you go, Lizzie. I don't know why I just went off on a tangent there, but you're awesome. Thank you. And will Trump consider giving the Kurds a chunk of Iran? Hm. H I don't know the answer. I mean, so this is the decapitate and delegate. So you're asking the delegate. So because it looks like the Kurds are about to help decapitate. Um I don't know the answer to that. I don't I don't I don't have any frame uh to answer. I doubt that. I doubt that. Uh I don't know. I just I just I shouldn't answer any speaking off the cuff like that. So I I really don't know. Very intriguing question. Mark Steve, any thoughts about the deep sea deposits around Mina M. Oh, you're getting you're pushing my Japanese. Mina shima. I could do that better. Mintoshima shima mintosha. I thought of it when you brought up Japan. No, no, no. I have to catch up on that. Mark, I'm not familiar with it. As you could see, I stumble over that name. Min, now I'm angry. Minamishma. Yeah. So, now I don't I don't I have to catch up with you on that. But again, I'm If there is a massive I have you know what? Now that you say it. Yes. H that's it's just you know you get so much stuff crossing your desk as it were on your on your browser. Um yes I I I now it's coming back to I remember re or talking about it with my wife. It is very well known, but no, I don't have any frames of reference for for what uh what they'll be planning to do with it. If uh Robo C Ken Paxton should drop out, it should be after the save act passes, not before. Otherwise, backstab a grad. No, I agree. That's very good. Very good point. That was very good. I I I I liked what Ken did. I thought I thought that was very selfless. And uh look, in the end, you know, I mean, Cornin sucks, I know, but you could get a lot worse. And in the end, he always votes our way. He just he holds legislation up all the time to get his own pork. Hey, he's doing something good for you guys in Texas. And I was hoping for Ken Paxton. I'm a big Ken Paxton fan, but I'm a pragmatist when it comes to politics. And if backroom deals means we get the Save Act, you know, we get a guaranteed uh R. Uh I think we're going to get a guaranteed R with the uh what's it? Ter Rico is turning out to be an absolute disaster of a candidate. It looks like even Jasmine Crockett would have done better than he was. But regardless, um yeah, I I uh I think it would be I think it would be a good deal. No question about it. Again, again, the the the uh the doomer, right? I've noticed that when I go on some of their uh some of their platforms, they don't, oh, this would be this would be worse than anything. This would be worse than the war. You It's just like you just never you never stop. It's just they so much of the right-wing ecosphere, communicative ecosphere was built uh in a time of desperation. And it was built as a form of resistance particularly against the Biden regime after the January post January 6, 2021 expulsion of right-wing voices from social media. So we began, you know, building up Rumble and and and Telegram and all these these alternative uh uh platforms. And so and then it became a place of resistance. And it just seems that there is an entire wing of influencers that don't know how to do anything other than resist. So, uh, this is the problem I have with with, uh, libertarians. Libertarians are radically anti-government. So, then they go and they vote for their preferred candidate, and the moment they're sworn into office, now they're the enemy because they're anti-government. It's just it's a it's a self-defeat. That's why libertarians never go anywhere. and and and no uh Javier Malay is a whole different breed of politician. All right, RCO uh go chance of winning or good chance probably good chance of winning midterms. Is it a question or Oh, yeah. No, again, I think we're in a different age. I think we're in a different period u where the um the president of the party that's in power losing seats may uh may be thwarted here. It's only happened three times uh and may certainly especially if this campaign in the Middle East uh uh turns out the way it looks like it's going to turn out. Um and then you have the uh Republicans pass all the legislation um uh making MAGA permanent. That's going to be very very strong. And again we have all these new you know American Iranians on our side, Venezuelans on our side. that the Cuban vote has already been on our side, but it'll even grow farther and farther. I mean, it's just it'll be astonishing. Mitchell, why is there always a divide in the right but never on the left? Not Doom. Just Yeah. No, great. No, very good question. Uh Mitchell, just asking. Thank you for all your clarity you provide, Dr. Steel. Thank you, Mitchell. Appreciate it. Yeah. Um so, unfortunately, the right is inherently dysfunctional. Okay, we've talked about this. Um but I don't know remember the last time we do it. So the right is inherently dysfunctional because the right is made up of uh of multiple uh interests that don't necessar don't necessarily have a a center other than like you know a hatred of all things woke or well not even that it's not even the Democrats per se. Uh because as you saw when Trump got the nomination, there were plenty of Republicans. So I'm voting Democrat this this this season. Yeah. You look at Bill Crystal or you know George Will and all these nuts. So um talk about having egg on their faces now. Haha. So um whereas the Democrats are totally united in their pursuit of power, political power. So the Democrats are 100% on board with. There's no you know what would what did Ma Donnie said? There's no problem too big. There's no issue too small that government can't support it. They are one and then for but again for a Democrat that's like power power. I get lots of power. I get insider trading. I get lots of money. It's a it's a it's a business model. Some of them are ideologues but the vast majority of them all want power. They see politics and the power that comes with it as the means of uh their own personal enrichment. It doesn't matter if you're on the LGBT side, if you're on the BLM side, traditionally when you were on the union side, the teachers unions, doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you're a pro Palestinian, it doesn't matter what you are. Bottom line, woke or nonwoke, you want power. Whereas a faction of the Republican party wants power. I do. I think that's right. I think politics is ultimately about power. It's not about ideology. It's about power and the the power to institute ones ideology and the power to be friends to your friends and enemies to your enemies. So, uh, so we have a side of power. But then we've got the Rand Paul's and the Thomas Masses who don't want government to have power. So, they vote against us. They vote with the Democrats to prevent us from coming to power. Now, they'll vote against the Democrats when the Democrats come to power. Then you have uh you have a Christian wing, the Christian conservative evangelical wing um that uh for a time wanted a certain moral um paradigm uh uh legislated, but then you had more Yeah. the the the more libertarian wing pushed back against that and didn't want that uh and stood against that. So the Lisa Marowskis or Susan Collins would always vote against any uh measure that would try to limit abortion and and the like. So the the point is is that Republicans are not united around the quest for power and politics is ultimately about power. So that gives Democrats an inordinate advantage that we just don't have. It's just that's the cards. So this is why I love MAGA because what MAGA has done is it's provided the paradigm to bring about the most unity I think you could possibly get from the Republican party. Rhinos can't do it. Neoconism can't do it. Libertarians can't do it. But MAGA can fr in Southern California regime change is a popular sentiment and we have more than 2.5 million signatories to put voter ID. I saw that. Bravo, bravo on the ballot in November. Can Trump flip California in the midterms? Well, you've got that jungle primary and then uh you know the big thing is uh so if people don't know in California when you're running for governor, there's one primary. There isn't a Democrat or Republican primary. There's one primary and the two top um uh vote getters face off each other. And right now, because the Democrat primary is so crowded, right now the two top vote getters are both Republicans. So theoretically, you could have two Republicans win and then they face off and you'll get a Republican uh governor. We'll see. I just don't know enough about um whether California has purged enough voters, whether it's shifted enough to the right, shifted 10 points uh to the right from uh 2020 to 2024. I don't know if it's there yet. any more than Virginia was there or New Jersey was there uh back in November of last year. Again, Jack Chidarelli got what did he get? 100 200 300,000 more votes than he got back in 2021. Looked like he was going to pull it off, but then it turns out that uh Mikey Cheryl ends up getting what 500,000 more votes than the Democrat got in 2021. And that's the advantage you have when you're in a state that just has, you know, 20 30% more Democrat, whatever it is in Jersey, more Democrats than Republicans. That's why, again, it's so hard for Democrats to win in Texas or in Florida. There's just not enough of them. There's just too many Republicans. So, we'll see. We'll have to see how it goes. But, I'm really excited about this uh this midterms season for California. Looks really good. Change of guard at the governor's mansion one way or the other. And then I would love to see the voter ID and then that of course pass. And then that of course would affect 2028. Tori, Dr. Steve, uh, you kept me sane during those four years. Whatever that was. Whatever the heck that was. What I call I think I called it the Biden winter or something. It always remind me of uh the way the Narnia books began, right? like the w line witch in the wardrobe when the evil white witch took over and and he and Lewis had the best description. He said it was always winter but never Christmas. That's how I felt with Biden. Yeah. Just a bite in winter. A cold, dreary bite in winter. Uh I've had to unsubscribe to some Christian channels because they can't take because I can't take the dooming and end times stuff anymore. Yeah. Yeah. You're going to get some of that. Yeah. Yeah. That this is the Messiah is coming back. Jesus is coming back. This is the big battle we've been waiting for and all that sort of stuff, you know. Okay. I mean, again, that's I just that doesn't factor at all in my my thinking. That's I just don't see I don't see esquetology uh that way. So, um I'm with you. Yeah. No, the doomerang the the doomers just I I got I've got no place to hang out with Eeyors. I've just not We use the Stockdale principle here. for the Stockdale principle is uh where you bring together two seemingly irreconcilable sentiments. You have to have uh an absolutely honest assessment of the dire nature that you're in. And you can never ever ever uh lose heart that you will prevail. You got to have both. You've got to have both realism and hope. And so many of these doomer channels are just riddled and and they're it's they're not even they're not even realistic. They they bring a maximalist approach to things. So are there risks for what Trump is doing? Of course. Yeah. And we can talk about those all day long. I figure I don't have to because everyone's talking about it, right? Are there risks? Sure. Are there risks to his base? Sure. Not I I'm not seeing it materialize uh yet, but yeah. Sure. Um, are there risks to our troops and this thing uh falling apart? Sure. Yeah. Yeah. No, this is this is a dangerous mission. But if anyone could do it, it's anyone could do it, it is the it is the the technopolar astropolar uh animated American military and is increasingly Israeli military. uh if if anyone is going to pull off the reccalibration of a network multipiolarity away from Beijing and back around uh the the Gulf of America, it's uh it's President Trump. So that's what this channel will give you. It'll give you both sides. So right now, as I see this week and as I've been as you could see, I've looked at um resources that take the opposite opinion. Right now, everything looks like things are going pretty freaking good. It's pretty astonishing. Uh even the most dire assessments that I've read are kind of blown dire meaning that well we got to be careful here and Iran did was able to penetrate our defenses here and it was able to strike in Kuwait and you know that and Iran could still strike and we still haven't done that. You know even the most tepid assessments are still like but dang this is pretty freaking impressive what's been accomplished. I guess we are technically now in day eight with the time change. This is this is pretty freaking impressive what uh what the US and Israeli alliance together with the um Gulf uh the Gulf Arab states are doing. So thank you Tori John Dr. C. What is the possibility of a fifth multipolar power center being created with Saudi Arabia and Israel as the leadership in the Middle East? That's so interesting. I like the way you're putting it. I that's what I'm understanding. If I get this what the goals of the Abraham Accords are, I think that's exactly what they're looking for. Sort of a a yeah, a kind of Judeo-Islamic um alliance. Again, two years ago would have been considered well, no, the accords were signed six years ago. So seven years ago it would have been considered absurd like a a square circle contradiction in terms but but again that's why they're called the Abrahamic accords. They find their common ground. This is this is the importance we're talking about geopolitics technopolitics and astropolitics. This is the importance of theopolitics. Theopolitics are becoming an increasingly important dynamic in the these network multipolarities. And so I could see a kind of theopolitic Yeah. Well, the Abraham Accords are theopolitics, but I could see a kind of theopolitic civilizationalism coming out of the Middle East uh in terms of a unified uh Israel might Arab money uh structure. And that's exactly what they're they're wanting to realize. They want to real they want the Middle East to be known as one of the most placid peaceful places imaginable. And they believe they found the um they found the key ingredients for that. And it is it is um it is Iran that is the chief impediment to the realization of that placidity. And it is Iran that is financing that impediment for its own cynical gain. Did I say Iran? China and China's financing Iran for that cynical game. I've my brain starts to go. the outlaw. I get a lot out of your content. Thank you. Well, thank you outlaw. Very appreciated. Very appreciated. Thank you, Ms. Adrian. Uh, many are saying they don't want a new forever war. I believe that is not a new war. It's a continuation the decades old war. Thoughts as always. Thank you for your dedication to providing facts. Thank you, Miss Adrian. Yes, that is um that is also uh a a trope, a common trope that's out there right now that I think is accurate. He Trump is not starting a forever war, he's ending one. Uh who who uh that was in it was actually in the Washington Post of all places. It's almost like that's the by line of of the article by uh the Mark Theon. Um no, I think you're absolutely right. I I think I think uh I I think Iran has demonstrated that it is dedicated to its what what's technically called messianic multipolarity. It sees itself as having a sacred mission to destroy the great Satan and um and that's America of course and and the Isra American Israelite proxy which is so ironic because we have so many on our side who um on this on this side of the uh of the politics who thinks America is Israel Israel's proxy but um and there is no appeasing that ideology there's just none it's it's permanent and Um, and I I I think now that it's been weaponized by China for its own gain, uh, Trump recognized the moment they get a bomb, the moment Iran goes nuclear, that weaponization, particularly of Hormuz, is is permanent and there's nothing we can do about it. Um, and so, you know, again, Trump can't say that out loud. He can't drag China into this conflict. like, yeah, we're doing this to take out China. You can't say that. Can't be that provocative. Again, we are a multi-polar world. We do not want a great power like China to come in. But nevertheless, that is I think what's happening. And uh and I do think um uh so I think you're seeing the end of an old war started in 1979. But I think you are seeing the latest front in this um reccalibration of the multipolar world away from centering in Beijing and instead centering uh in the states. Hello from Miami. Oh, I was just uh Miami cuz I was just in Miami. Well, I don't know if you caught my videos that my uh wife and I uh flew into Miami and then we uh rented a car and we went all the way down the Keys and and back up all the way down to Key West and stayed in Kargo and in um um where was the other one? Why do I have Manhattan and Marathon? I have Manhattan in my head. Manhattan Marathon. I don't know. So, God bless you. Oh, it must be so nice and warm and wonderful. Will you be making a special video on the growing fertility advantage the conservatives have over their leftist progressive counterparts with more recent data? Yeah. Yeah, it's it's certainly getting updated by because it's only intensified. That's the interesting thing. It's only grown exasperated. Uh I could I mean it usually it's usually what I do is I look at current events in light of conservative trends. That's kind of the the structure I've developed over the last 10 years. So if there's a current event where that warrants it, sure of course we'll put that in. And because it's demographics, it's long-term. So it doesn't it's not necessarily, you know, there are so many headlines that kind of jockey for positioning. My first video, my second video, and my third video. So um uh so demographics because they're kind of ant oriented. you know, if you the trees and uh the uh the animated trees and JR tokens uh Lord of the Rings ju just you know because there they deal with generation so forth there's still it's it's an issue that'll still be there tomorrow. So I I in triage I find something more pressing today that that said yeah it's one of the reasons why we're seeing this shift of power from blue states to red states. It's one of the reasons why we're seeing the rise of theopolitics around the world. It's one of the reasons why um Arabs have finally gotten rid of their hopes of a Palestinian state, a two-state solution uh and are just are fine now with a one-state solution because precisely because uh Israel is growing uh demographically uh and and the primary base for that growth are Heredi Jews, Orthodox Jews. So their population is growing more and more and more conservative. So there's just and they're getting they're holding tighter and tighter and tighter to their security. So there's there's no good there's no going to be any liberals. Liberal liberalism basically died from from Israel. Israel is about as rightwing as you can possibly get. So it's it's affecting everything and um and so yeah we could talk about that but um theopolitics and religious demography is basically baked into the cake of 21st century um multipolarity from this point forward. Yeah. Salt and light. Uh it appear and thank you for the Canadian dollar. It appears that Lloyds of London does not insure many oil corporations. Trump created the United States Development Finance Corporation. Do they do they have a name for it now? I didn't catch up with the name. Yeah. So, this is this was the one dynamic in Well, I'm sure there's more, but this was definitely one of the biggest dynamics, new developments of this week that I never was able to bring into the geopolitical or, you know, technopolitical or astropolitical picture. But um but yeah, this is this is huge. Again, when we talk about now the United States and you know, let's be blunt. It's North America now. We are going to be at the center of 60% of the world's energy supply. It's even higher than that when you bring in, if I recall, just everyone all the different networking arrangements that we we've brokered throughout the world. Um and but now as you as you're pointing out now we even are more or less um carving out a monopoly where we stole the monopolization of ensuring uh the safe passage of oil which makes sense since we're the one guaranteeing it in terms of security. So why not have a piece of the pie of the insurance as well? It's just again it's just gigantic. The amount of money that is pouring into this country right now is beyond anything we ever even imagined. Lester Gordon, Dr. C, I watched your video yesterday about Italy. Can you explain to me why is Great Britain's horrible prime minister speaking out against the war in Iran all while pandering to the Islamic community? Yeah. Um I you know I don't know why other than uh um take this as take this for what it's worth. take this with a grain of salt because again I've never done a real full study of this so I can't point you in any particular direction but um Britain's international greatness was a very fleeting thing as I understand it historically okay Britain was relatively ins and this is not a dis I'm just trying to put it in historical context text. Britain was relatively insignificant during the Roman era. It was relatively insignificant during the period of Christendom relatively, but it certainly wasn't Rome. Certainly wasn't Constantinople. Um certainly wasn't Alexandria until the uh Islamic takeover. So uh I it ca it it came to the four it became really um well it became the UK over the course of you know 13th 14th 15th 16th century and then finally when in the age of industrialization when when when you know Denmark and France and Spain and the Netherlands already had their astonishing ing empires growing. You know, Britain was a Johnny come lately to that party. Britain came set up a I mean found that they could punch way above their weight and by World War I it was over. It was done completely done. They became more or less a vassal state to the United States. They just borrowed money. uh they they came to the United States as beggars, US banks, and it's just never recovered and it's it's just watched its empire disappear. So there is a kind of do you want to call it self-loathing or something? There is a weird sort of retraction like like a um a strange aringent where where the soul of Britain is embarrassed by its uh empire and now it seeks the need to make amends to the people groups that it's supposedly pillaged and um and demonstrating and the greatest demonstration that you are aware of that moral obligation is to go out of your way to appease them. That's the sense I get. And if I could give you a big long civilization because because Britain has a long glorious beautiful history, but the but but a history as a as an imperial force around the world which which which had some pretty impressive things in terms of what they were doing, building and architecture they brought and all that sort of stuff and the rule of law that they brought and their jurist uh traditions and so forth. Um, I guess there's just a whole wing of them that just feels embarrassed by and that that they have to appease that by um they by uh by literally bending the knee to third worlders uh that they believed uh that they had violated in terms of their their cultural sovereignty or whatever. That's what so that's what I think is going on. I think Kier Starmer is a clown. He couldn't be more of a clown. The Landon only BW pro me uh the an updates channel. Prometheian updates channel. Why you guys messing with my eyesight? The Prometheian updates channel. Yes, the ladies at the Prometheian update are wonderful. Big shout out to them. Absolutely. Everyone check them out. They get it. They know what's going on. Paul messes, have you considered collab with Prometheian? You know what? I'm bring what? Well, we got it. Now I get all these guys with Prometheian updates. I think it would be very enlightening. All right, we got to reach out. Josh, make a note for Micah to reach out to the Prometheian the ladies at the Prometheian update. See what we can do there. Fron, how would our success in Iran have an effect on us getting our equipment back from Taliban and Afghanistan? That's a good question because Afghanistan's going through there. I don't even know if they'll have any more equipment after what's going on with Pakistan, right? So, you know, the Taliban started in Pakistan. Um, Taliban means students and they're part of a u they were part of a group that uh began in Pakistan, but they eventually took over Afghanistan. Then when we after the fall of of the Taliban they they uh they reassembled and regrouped back in Pakistan. So there there is what are they called? The TTP if I recall there's a group there in Pakistan that's a that's a a Pakistani version of the Tal I don't like saying that because they originated in Pakistan but there's there's Pakistan's Taliban and now there's Afghanistan Taliban and Yeah. Yeah. They're fighting each other over uh skirmishing over um well a border that was British drawn. Speaking of uh that neither side has ever fully um uh fully uh formalized and accepted and then uh there is uh there is a sense in Pakistan that they are being destabilized uh with the presence of the TTP uh as they are being supported with arms, money and so forth by the Taliban. So they're fighting each other right now. So yeah, the Middle East is is is erupting, right? So I don't know what this will do in order I don't know what this will do. I have a feeling the Sunni relationships I may be very naive, but the Sunni relationships uh with the Gulf States uh and and the and the carrot that they can dangle will keep um the Taliban relatively uh tame. But we'll see. I mean Pakistan and the Taliban are fighting right now. Abuni 14, how do you feel about Trump undercutting London's control over shipping trade insurance? That was a gangster move. He's literally six steps ahead. Yeah, like I said earlier, absolutely. It's stunning. Like I said, when this is all done and this wholeworked multipolarity is put together, this massive US broker uh civilizational corridor that literally wraps the globe, we'll be uh sitting on 60% of the world's oil supply. So, we might as well be insuring it. And um and that's exactly what it's and if it's I I be curious if it goes beyond hormuz. I'm assuming it does. um or um or the straight of Oman or the like but yeah I don't know it's it's it's a boss move and it promises to bring in hundreds of billions of dollars corped professor on a similar subject to Sunnis and Shiites what are Coptic Christians I hope I spelled that right you did I've heard the term many times before but never really knew what it meant okay so Coptic is rooted uh in the it's derived uh from the Greek Greek term egyptos which means Christian. So somehow we got Coptic out of Egypttos cop eoptos I don't know somehow and um and uh they are a uh they are the Egyptian Christian uh tradition. So it's very much centered on the birth of Christian monasticism. So uh so uh St. Anthony for example, St. Antonio is considered really the first there were there were um Christian aesthetics before him but he's really considered the first major um uh Christian monastic lived in caves lived till 104 years old if I recall uh if I recall around Mount Si right near where St. Antonius St. Anthony monastery is there is actually a monk uh right now named father Lazarus who lives he's he's a Tanzanian actually a convert to Coptic uh orthodoxy he he lives and prays in in St. Anony's cave. I think he lives in a cave next to it, but that's where he he prays. So, he lives a life of an aesthetic. And then uh that created the school of Christian aestheticism, I believe, through uh Athanasius. Athanasius wrote the on the life of St. Anthony. So, that's very much uh the heart of the Coptic tradition. They uh they accept the first three ecumenical councils, but then they stop at Calcidan uh because they believe uh that there was some uh uh they believe that the the council there had betrayed um the notion that Christ's humanity and divinity was one nature. And the calcedonian u confession says that there are two natures united in one he apostasies one person meaning in the son of god not going to get into all that right now it's it's basically seen as more of a semantic difference some there's some hardcore guys who say no it's not semantic it's very clear difference but generally speaking uh they along with Ethiopian Christians and Armenian Christians are three ecumenical council IL Christians where uh the wider orthodox world are seven ecumenical council Christians but in the end with particularly with civilizationalism emerging uh they're all seen as being part of the one holy uh orthodox uh church from you know Russian orthodoxy through all the Eastern European orthodoxies Bulgarian, Romanian, Greek and so on in down into uh northern Egypt which used to be Greece and down into northern Africa which used to be Greek and then Egypt itself um which uh is the home of the Coptic uh Orthodox and they're about 10% of the country very um significant significant portion of the country and that's it. All right guys, I love you. I will be um uh your back porch professor all weekend for all updates. You can guarantee that. I'm sure that's going to be uh the case for tomorrow. So, we'll have a couple more videos for you throughout the weekend, but again, uh, hug the ones you love, stay true to your faith, family, and freedom, and I'll see you on Monday. God bless, guys.
