Now, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tom Massie, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon agree with us that we should not go to war with Iran. We should not do regime change. We should not work for Israel. Oh my God, what an amazing, miraculous development. [00:00:17] Please don't like let that slide by you without noting. Oh my God, the country is coming together. As protests continue to occur across Iran over economic issues there, President Donald Trump is weighing in, issuing yet more threats [00:00:32] against Iran and its government, not explicitly over nuclear issues like led to the war that he started there, but this time saying that he will protect any protesters that are killed by the Iranian regime. We've got a lot of details on the violence that's already occurred there. [00:00:49] But, Jake, first off, what are your $0.02? Yeah. So I think we're going to have coverage of this that you're not going to see anywhere else because, of course, this is all about Israel. That's obvious. Right. But, but the question is, why might Israel not be in favor of this regime change? [00:01:07] They definitely want regime change in Iran, but maybe not this one. And hence the call for bombing. Because if you bombed, it would actually end this insurgency. So we're going to tell you why it's really important and interesting. - Let's give you all the facts first. - Fascinating and complicated. [00:01:23] So let's talk first about what has already happened. We have escalations coming. But so far on New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, there were fatalities that were actually reported coming out of these demonstrations. There's a lot of like lack of clarity in some of these cases, but we'll give [00:01:39] you the best information that we have. So the Semiofficial Fars news agency and human rights group Hengaw said two people had died during clashes between protesters and security forces in the city of city of Lordegan, in southwestern Iran. Three more people were killed in Azna. [00:01:55] And so the total number of fatalities is believed to be somewhere between 6 and 8, which is obviously very tragic for just a couple of days of protesting there. There are right now conflicting reports in most of these cases about whether they were demonstrators or security forces who killed or who were [00:02:13] killed in the individual cases. Human rights groups say that multiple protesters have been killed. And there's video going around showing security forces firing on groups of demonstrators. So it is certainly plausible that there have been fatalities there. State media is saying that members of the security forces have [00:02:30] been killed by protesters who are armed. That's possible, I suppose. Believe that, if you wish. Independent outlets haven't been able to confirm the truth just yet. Obviously difficulty getting information there. But regardless of the facts and of the death count, which almost certainly will [00:02:46] rise over the next day or two, this is how Donald Trump greeted it on Truth Social, saying if Iran shots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go. [00:03:02] Thank you for your attention to this matter. And just in case it wasn't clear, it's from President Donald J. Trump. So that's strange that he leaps to the defense of protesters halfway around the world when he has hardly been a fan of protests here in the United States. [00:03:19] Remember, of course, he was so aggrieved by the last round of no protests that he put out a deepfake video of him literally dumping poop all over protesters. And many people are worried about what will happen when he deploys the military ahead of the midterms, as he is almost certainly going to do. [00:03:35] But here's, he's implying that they are going to come to the rescue of anyone who is attacked, which doesn't sound jank like just a bombing thing. We're going to come to your rescue, not avenge you. Not if you kill them. We'll kill you. [00:03:50] He's making it sound as if he's going to send troops into Iran to protect protesters there, which I. I would doubt, I suppose, but what do you think? So first of all, obviously it has nothing to do with the protesters. Obviously it has nothing to do with protecting Iran. Like, let's just get to the real issue here. [00:04:06] So Israel wants to attack Iran again. But again, let's be more clear. They don't really want to attack Iran. They want us to attack Iran. Why? So first they said nukes. We got rid of their nuclear facilities that didn't have nukes. But okay, the facilities are gone. Everything is gone. [00:04:24] Then they moved to missiles and people were like, everybody has missiles. Like, now we're going to attack Iran over missiles, right? And they're like, no, no, like that's all warm up act anyway. Regime change. We need regime change now. Why do they need regime change? Because a lot of you might not know this. [00:04:40] And in fact, I didn't know it until pretty recently. But now that I've done a lot more research and now know some people from the region, etc. And have some sources there, it turns out most of the Arab governments are run by puppets for Israel. [00:04:56] And so like if you say anything against the Israeli government and in Jordan or Egypt or Saudi Arabia or UAE, you will be arrested. If you say something not against the Saudi government, which you'll also be arrested for, but against the Israeli government, you're going to get picked up by Saudi [00:05:11] intelligence or Jordanian intelligence. So these are all puppet regimes. And so what Israel, like Israel, thinks, okay, if I knock out their missiles, that's a temporary win. If I knock out their leadership and I now control the leadership of that country, [00:05:28] fill in the blank, Iraq, Jordan, etc., well, then I own that country and that that lasts for a long time. So that's why at the end of the day, no matter how many times we bomb Iran or any of these countries that they want us to bomb, it's never enough until they get to regime change. [00:05:44] Because the point isn't the bombing. The point is the regime change. Put an Israeli puppet control the Middle East forever. Okay, so that's the battle plan. So which then leads us back to the protesters is a bit of a problem for the Israelis. Wait. Why do you want the regime toppled? [00:06:00] Yes, but once the regime, if the regime is toppled, they don't want an organic insurgency to replace that regime. They need it replaced by our puppet. And hence why America has to do the bombing and the replacing. [00:06:18] Because if the Iranians replace the their leadership on their own and God forbid, they go to democracy, that's a best case scenario for us. Progressives, populists, etc. We don't want to deal with Iran or Israel. But given our druthers, would we want to Grand Ayatollah or the mullah regime? [00:06:34] No. We want a democracy in Iran. Right. And the people of Iran to be represented and to be free. Israel does not want that. In fact, a huge part of the reason why there are no democracies in the Middle East, outside of Turkey and Israel is because Israel actively tries to prevent it. [00:06:50] If the Jordanian people got their way in a democracy, Israel would be in a lot of trouble. Jordan with all of the Jordanian people support Palestinians, but their leadership doesn't. And that's the shame of all of the almost all of those countries. [00:07:05] So that's why they want us to bomb, partly because we got to put the puppet in, not them. But the other reason, John, is if you bomb Iran, what's going to happen? Everybody's going to rally around the flag. It's going to strengthen the ayatollah and kill off this organic uprising, [00:07:23] which Israel doesn't want. They want them toppled, and then we have to bomb and put in the leader. - So that's the game that's being played. - Yeah, yeah. And that's why it's important when sometimes I think I think Donald Trump and like the right it's like a part of the way that they're trolls. [00:07:38] They like to pretend to agree with you, but not at all for the same reasons you might think like Trump is against like wind energy. So why does he say he doesn't like wind energy? Is it because he likes, you know, the oil and gas industry? Yeah, but he's not going to say that is because it spoils his view [00:07:54] and he cares more about his view than the fate of the world. Yeah, but he's not going to say that. He says to protect the birds so that maybe environmentalists get on his side. He doesn't give a damn about the environmentalists. And you might think, hey, well, you know, weren't we really supportive of Iranian student protesters a couple of years ago? [00:08:10] Yeah, he's not though. That's he doesn't give one damn about a single protester in in Florida, let alone in Iran. And so don't be deceived into thinking, oh, okay. Well, I don't like Donald Trump. I don't really want us to get involved in more conflicts, but I guess at least we could finally make good on the desire for democracy. [00:08:28] There's not going to be any democracy. This has way more in common with, you know, American adventures in replacing Iranian governments back 60 years ago or whatever, than it does anything having to do with democracy. And so there are some people fighting back against this Thomas Massie, [00:08:45] almost Turk of the year. He tweeted out, we have problems at home and shouldn't be wasting military resources on another country's internal affairs. Military strikes on Iran require congressional authorization. I get what he means there, but that's kind of a joke right now. [00:09:01] The idea that Donald Trump would ever have to go to Congress for this sort of thing, it should. And I would love for Thomas Massie, maybe Ro Khanna to actually make that a legal thing. But unfortunately, Donald Trump doesn't give a damn what Congress thinks. And this threat isn't about freedom of speech in Iran. It's about the dollar, oil and Israel. [00:09:18] So Israel and Israel's desire for regime change, as Jake pointed out, some interesting other elements that we should definitely discuss. One is that Mossad has posted social media messages encouraging the protesters to rise up. Here's one comment. [00:09:34] Let's come out to the streets together. The time has come. We are with you, not just from afar and verbally. We are with you in the field as well. We're with you in the field as well. I don't know if that's true or not, but they they certainly want the message [00:09:50] to be out there that I mean, I'm assuming I know what you're going to say about that, but but take a take a swing. Yeah. I mean, look, it could be just normal psyops to confuse and and bewilder your opponent. But I think what's more likely is they're trying to delegitimize [00:10:07] this actual organic uprising well, and justify right next to them. Remember this uprising mossad's in in the crowd. Yeah. You would only say that to delegitimize it or to Iran. To make it more legitimate for the Iranians to devastate them, like, well, now. [00:10:23] - This isn't. - Organic. This is a foreign intelligence operation. Like if you actually, first of all, why would Mossad be weighing in on any of this? But obviously that's the effect that it's going to have. It almost seems it almost seems too obvious. [00:10:38] It seems ham fisted from Assad, which has done some pretty sensitive and subtle. But, John, you have to remember, that's for the Iranian audience, and it's almost for the ayatollah. So the ayatollah can say, see, Mossad is in the crowd. That's why I had to kill them. Which then gives Trump an excuse to attack and then put in our regime. [00:10:57] So that is not for US consumption. And, we're about the only show talking about it. Like if you turn on television or you go to the New York Times, you're not going to get any of that, right. They're not talking about how Mossad is in the streets in Iran. That would be anti-Semitic. [00:11:13] To repeat what Mossad literally put out in public on their own. They'd be like, what do you mean? Are you trying to say that we're doing this for Israel? You're all anti-Semites. I mean, so, like, remember, we live in a different bubble than they. A lot of people live in. We live in a bubble filled with information and knowledge and facts. [00:11:30] Yeah. Establishment media operates in a bubble of void of almost all facts filled with nothing but propaganda. So if that hurts Mossad's interest, there's no chance they would cover it. So a huge percentage of the American people have no idea what's actually happening there. [00:11:45] Yeah, well, let's talk about a few of the other elements. That one was I'm gonna jump ahead to graphic seven. Initially, the president there had responded indicating that reforms were coming, which might allay some of the concerns of the protesters, saying, quote, the livelihood of the people is my concern. [00:12:00] The government plans to reform the monetary and banking system and preserve the purchasing power of the people. Adding that he had also asked the interior minister to hear the legitimate demands of the protesters through dialog with their representatives. But they've also indicated that if the US gets involved, then things could change their tenor significantly. [00:12:18] The adviser to the Supreme leader warned that Iran's national security was a red line, not material for adventurous tweets, and said any intervening hand nearer nearing Iran's security on pretexts will be cut off with a regret inducing response. [00:12:34] So obviously those are, you know, something much more like fighting words. And there's more comments about how Donald Trump is the one that's starting this adventure, and they should pay attention to the safety of their soldiers. But I wanted to get to this. This is Marjorie Greene, who has just a couple days left in Congress, [00:12:52] said an Israeli cybersecurity billionaire demanding to take away American's guaranteed First Amendment free speech and President Trump threatening war and sending in troops to Iran is everything we voted against in 20 for Trump, voters spent the week threatening a tax revolt because they were so furious [00:13:08] about the never ending waste, fraud and abuse of their hard earned money going to foreigners and foreign wars. The focus should be on tax dollars here at home and defending our God given freedoms and rights. We'll return to the latter part of that in a bit, but I want to explain what the first part of is about. When she says about the cybersecurity billionaire. [00:13:26] She's referencing this appearance on CNBC earlier this week by Israeli cybersecurity billionaire Shlomo Kramer. And I know it's. Difficult to hear, but it's time to limit the First Amendment in order to protect it and quickly before it's too late. [00:13:43] What do you mean? I mean that we need to control the platforms, all the social platforms. We need to stack rank the. Authenticity of every person that expresses themselves online and take [00:14:01] control over what they are saying. - Based on that ranking. - The government. - The government should. - Social media. Okay, so just just to be clear, this is a. Foreign billionaire wanting to advance the interests of a different country [00:14:16] by coming onto the media in our country and telling us that our rights need to be taken away. Yeah, he literally said, we need to defeat the First Amendment in order to protect the First Amendment. We have to destroy that village. We have to destroy your Constitution in order to protect it. And when he says the American government should decide who's allowed to talk [00:14:33] and not talk on these social media platforms, he, of course, means the Israeli government because he's perfectly aware that the Israeli government completely controls the American government. And now this is on top of Larry Ellison and Netanyahu basically saying together, [00:14:49] yeah, we're taking over TikTok on behalf of Israel. So they couldn't make it any clearer. And it like we get in trouble by trouble by the establishment media who are nothing but shills and and propagandists for Israel. [00:15:06] If we just repeat what they say on air. Yeah, right. Like I said, so they're an Israeli billionaire is saying we should kill off our First Amendment rights so that the government can control what is said and not said about Israel. [00:15:21] And then you just repeat it and you're like, you're an anti-Semite. He just you saw him say it. You literally just saw him say it. This isn't like Ken Klippenstein got a document. It was from a dinner. And there was a comment that was reported where Shlomo said he went on to the news and said it. [00:15:38] It's not a mistranslation. It's not? Well, if you really think about what he said, you understand he just said it outright. Yeah. And but every time they say something like this where they show you what their true intent is, it immediately gets memory holds. CNBC which broke news there with that amazing interview. [00:15:55] We'll never mention it again. CNN will never mention it. New York Times Washington Post will never mention it while pretending to be objective. Okay, so and then when you say, hey, I don't think you are objective, it looks like you're favoring one side. They're like anti-Semite. Cancel him. [00:16:10] Ruin his career. See how I'm objective? No, you're proving my point, right? So okay. Bottom line is, though, most importantly, guys, as we look at this Iran situation, look at this convergence that only this show told you about [00:16:27] was going to happen a year ago. It is literally happening later in the show, we're going to talk about how Steve Bannon is now calling Trump Hillary Clinton because of these threats to attack Iran. Okay, so now Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tom Massie, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon agree with us that we should not go to war with Iran. [00:16:47] We should not do regime change. We should not work for Israel. Oh my God, what an amazing, miraculous development. Please don't like let that slide by you without noting. Oh my God. The country is coming together to honor our 250th anniversary or birthday. [00:17:06] We're coming together as a country to try to get this foreign government off of our off of us. And it's obvious that they control us. And now Trump is out here like a puppet. Yes, I said puppet, and you can suck it up. And going out there going, we must attack Iran. [00:17:22] We care about democracy. We need regime change for Israel. Okay. And Netanyahu comes in and goes, hello, this is Donald Trump. Like literally did it the other day. He's like, As Trump is going, we need to attack Iran and Venezuela for, you know, for America. [00:17:38] Wink. Right. And now, holy cow, you got caught by his own side. - That's a beautiful thing. - Yeah. Well, and it was about a week ago that there was the reports that Netanyahu had floated. Hey, maybe we do some more bombing in 2026. That was before all these protests. [00:17:53] Now they're just like, oh, it's because of that. But you were already talking about it like you're just you're just looking for some sort of excuse or pretext for all of this. And and Donald Trump hasn't done it yet, but he sure seems excited. He's his path to a Nobel Peace Prize in 2026. Seems like it's going to be a troubling one with Iran and Venezuela and all that. [00:18:12] Nigeria, Somalia. Yeah, it's a lot of bombing for a peace prize guy, but I don't know. He can always get a second FIFA one, I suppose. Yeah. Well, if he gets a second one when he bombs literally every country in the world. Exactly. No, he's only bombed half the countries in the World Cup so far. [00:18:27] That's why they give him a peace prize. Maybe he'll get, like, the UFC peace prize or something. Anyway. Okay. All right. Don't bomb Iran. Republicans, Democrats, voters. I don't mean the goddamn politicians, the centrist everybody. We're all on the same team. [00:18:42] Make sure that they don't drag us into another war. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets its wings. Totally not true, but it does keep you updated on our live shows.
