Authentic News with Jim Fetzer, March 11, 2026 Hour 1

0:00I'm gonna go to prison, but take it easy, we're out, I'm gonna go to prison, but take This is Jim Fatser, your host on Authentic News right here in R.B. and live this 11th day of March 26th. I'm convinced on Trump had no idea what he was getting into, didn't even understand the role of the

1:04Gulf of Hormuz, the oil supply and how it affects the petro dollar. Iran is vowed to block oil shivments until the U.S.-Israeli attacks and actually until the U.S. gets out of the Middle East. A spokesman for the Iranian National Guard, the Republican Revolutionary Guard, said on March not to Tehran would not allow any Middle East oil to reach U.S. or its allies as long as the attacks continue. The spokesman was cited by the Tasman News Agency saying we will not allow a single leader of oil to be exported from the region until further notice due to ongoing aggression. Meanwhile Donald Trump claims, Randall be hit 20 times harder than before if it doesn't allow oil to flow. Present up on Monday, the United States would respond with overwhelming force.

2:10If Iran attempts to halt oil shivments to the strait of Hormuz, even as he recently said U.S. strikes, if all rates of early damage to Rand's military capability, now anyone who knew anything about Iran knew the strait of Hormuz would be closed if Iran were attacked. So how can it be coming as news to Donald Trump? If Iran does anything that stops the flow of oil within the strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America 20 times harder than they've been hit thus far. He wrote Monday on Tuesday, and traditionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Randall ever to be built back as a nation again, death, fire, and fury, or rain upon him. But I hope and pray that it doesn't happen. These are virtually absurd assertions from a man who clearly had no idea what

3:15he was getting into and attacking Iran. Well, now he was this brilliant Chinese professor who's impressed me as much as Colonel McGregor for his expertise in analyzing, in this case, the economic aspects, the big picture related to the petrol dollar. Check it out right here, right now. Arabia, UAE. This season, you've got places to go. People to see and things to do. You may have already gotten vaccinated. See, most people look at the Iran-Israel conflict and they think this is about religion. They think this is about territory. They think this is about who launched what missile at who, but that is the surface. That is the movie playing on your screen while the real plot is happening behind the curtain. Because what is actually at stake right now is the financial system that has kept the United States dollar at the center of the entire global economy for over 50 years, 50 years. And right now, that system is cracking. The math is breaking. The geography is

4:16shifting and the craziest part. Most people have absolutely no idea it is even happening. They are watching the explosions on the news. They are watching the political speeches. They are picking sides. And meanwhile, the actual game, the real game, the one that determines who controls the global economy for the next century. That game is being played right underneath their feet. So today, I am going to break this down for you. Not the version you see on CNN, not the version you see on Twitter, the real version, the version that is about money, oil, game theory, and the future of American power itself. Let me say this one more time so it really sinks in. The war between Iran and Israel is not just a military conflict. On the surface, yes, it looks like one. You see the missiles, you see the drone strikes, you see the retaliations. But underneath all of that, what is actually happening is an economic war. It is an attack on the financial engine that powers American global dominance. And this is not some conspiracy theory. This is not speculation.

5:17This is game theory. This is geography. This is cold, hard, brutal math. When you strip away the noise, when you strip away the media coverage and the political talking points, what you are left with is a calculated strategic assault on the system that allows the United States to borrow trillions of dollars, fund the largest military in human history and maintain influence in every single corner of the globe. That system has a name. It is called the petrodollar system. And if you do not understand how it works, then you cannot understand why this war is happening, why it is happening now, and why the outcome of this conflict could reshape the entire global order for the rest of our lifetimes. So let me paint the picture for you. Right now, if you turn on any news channel in the world, here is what you are going to see. You're going to see footage of missiles flying through the sky. You're going to see explosions lighting up city skylines. You are going to see politicians standing behind podiums delivering carefully written speeches about security, sovereignty, and the right to self-defense. You are going to see military

6:19analysts drawing arrows on maps, talking about strike zones and interceptor systems and casualty reports, and all of that is real. I am not saying it is fake. Those things are happening. People are dying. Infrastructure is being destroyed. The human cost of this conflict is enormous, and it should not be ignored. But here is what I need you to understand. In geopolitics, the things you can see are almost never the full story. In fact, the visible stuff, the missiles, the explosions, the speeches, that is usually just the top layer. The real story is always underneath. The real story is about incentives. It is about who benefits and who loses. It is about economic structures that most people never think about because they were designed to be invisible. It is about geographic choke points that control the flow of the most important commodity on the planet. It is about a financial system so deeply embedded into the global economy that most people do not even realize it exists until it starts to break. When people ask the obvious question, why is this war happening right now? The answer is not as simple as these countries hate each other. Countries have hated each other for centuries. Hatred does not start

7:21wars. You know what starts wars? Strategic systems under pressure. Systems that are beginning to crack. And right now, one of the most powerful systems ever built in modern history is under more pressure than it has faced in decades. That system controls how oil is traded. It controls how money flows and it controls who sits at the top of the global power structure. That is what this war is really about. So let me show you what is actually going on. But before I get into the war itself, before I talk about Iran's strategy, before I talk about the missiles and the drones and the straight of war moves, I need you to understand one thing first. And this is the thing that most people get completely wrong about power. People think empire survived because of their armies. They think the United States is the most powerful country in the world because it has the biggest military, the most advanced weapons, the most aircraft carriers spread across every ocean. And yes, all of that is true. The American military is extraordinary. But here is the part they do not teach you.

8:24Military power alone has never sustained an empire, not once in history. Every empire that has ever lasted every single one had an economic system behind it, a financial structure, a money machine that kept the whole thing running. And in the case of the United States, that money machine is built on one thing, oil and not American oil, the world's oil. And the way that oil connects to the American dollar is one of the most brilliant and most fragile systems ever designed. Let me explain. Here is how the system works. Oil is the single most important commodity in the global economy. Bar none. There is nothing else that comes close. Every factory needs it. Every airplane needs it. Every shipping container crossing the ocean needs it. Every car, every truck, every military vehicle on the planet runs on it. Modern civilization, as we know it, does not function without oil. Now, here is the critical part. For over 50 years, almost all of the oil traded on the global market has been priced and sold in one currency. The United States

9:24dollar, not the euro, not the yen, not the yuan, the dollar. Think about what that means for a second. If you are Japan and you need to buy oil from Saudi Arabia, you cannot pay in yen. You have to pay in dollars. If you are India and you need oil from the Gulf, you cannot pay in rupees. You have to pay in dollars. If you are Germany, Brazil, South Korea, it does not matter. Every single country that needs oil, which is every country on earth, must first acquire United States dollars before they can buy a single barrel. Now, what does that create? It creates something incredibly powerful. It creates constant, never-ending global demand for the American dollar. Every single day, countries around the world are buying dollars, holding dollars, and storing dollars in their reserves just so they can participate in the oil market. And that demand is the secret engine behind American economic power. Because when the entire world needs your currency, you can do things that no other country can do. You can print money without destroying its value,

10:29at least not immediately. You can borrow trillions of dollars at low interest rates because everyone wants to hold your debt. You can fund the largest military in human history and station it across every continent and every ocean on the planet. You can run trade deficits year after year, after year, and the system keeps working because the demand for your currency never stops. But this system did not happen by accident. It was built. It was engineered through very deliberate alliances in the Middle East, specifically with the oil producing states of the Persian Gulf. The deal was simple and it was genius. The Gulf states, led by Saudi Arabia, agreed to sell their oil exclusively in United States dollars. In return, the United States agreed to provide military protection. American bases, American weapons, American security guarantees. The Gulf countries got a shield. America got the financial backbone of its entire empire. That is the petrol dollar system. That is the invisible machine running underneath everything. And as long as that machine keeps running, the United States stays on top. But the moment someone threatens to break that machine,

11:31everything changes. And that is exactly what is happening right now. Now here is where most people get this conflict completely wrong. When they watch the news, they think the war is between Iran and Israel. They think the battlefield is in Gaza or Lebanon or on Israeli soil. And yes, those are active fronts. Those are real places where real fighting is happening. But they are not the main event. The real battlefield, the one that actually matters in the grand scheme of things, is the Gulf. I am talking about Saudi Arabia. I am talking about the United Arab Emirates. I am talking about Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait. These are the places that matter most in this conflict. And most people do not even realize it. See, these countries are not just wealthy nations sitting on top of oil. They are critical nodes in the global financial system. They are the infrastructure of the petrol dollar. The oil they produce, the money they generate, the investments they make, all of that flows directly into global markets and reinforces the dominance of the United States dollar. Take Dubai as an example. Dubai did not become a global city by accident.

12:35It was built on one thing above everything else. Stability. Wealthy people from all over the world moved their money to Dubai because they believed it was safe. Businesses set up headquarters there because the region was stable. Investors poured billions into real estate, infrastructure and financial markets because they trusted that American military power would keep the Gulf secure. The entire economic model of these Gulf states is built on the perception of safety. Not just actual safety, the perception of it. Now, imagine what happens when that perception starts to crack. Imagine investors watching missiles fly across the Gulf region. Imagine wealthy expatriates looking at the news and wondering if their families are safe. Imagine insurance companies recalculating risk for every cargo ship passing through the area. What happens? Capital runs. Money moves. Businesses start looking for the exit. And when capital flees the Gulf, it does not just hurt Dubai or Riyadh or Doha. It weakens the entire financial ecosystem that the petrol dollar is built on. The oil revenue slows down. The investments dry up.

13:35The recycling of dollars through global markets starts to break down. And this is where Iran's real strategy becomes terrifying because Iran is not trying to beat the United States in a straight up military fight. They know they cannot do that. No country on earth can match the American military in a direct conventional war. Iran knows this. So instead of fighting the machine, they are attacking the fuel that powers the machine. They are going after the economic foundations. They are targeting the Gulf. They are targeting the perception of stability. They are trying to make the entire region feel unsafe, unpredictable, and risky. And if they succeed, even partially, the financial damage could be far greater than anything a missile could ever do to a military base. Now, let me show you why geography makes this whole situation even more dangerous because when we talk about the Gulf region, we are not just talking about countries and cities. We are talking about one of the most important geographic choke points on the entire planet. It is called the Strait of Hormuz. And if you do not know what the Strait of Hormuz is,

14:38you need to learn because this single narrow waterway might be the most strategically important piece of geography in the modern world. Here is what it is. The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow passage of water that connects the Persian Gulf to the open ocean. In some places, it is only about 50 kilometers wide. That is it. 50 kilometers. And through this tiny corridor, roughly 20% of the entire world's oil supply passes every single day, 20%. That means one out of every five barrels of oil consumed on this planet travels through this one narrow choke point. Countries like India, China, Japan, South Korea, and dozens of others depend on oil shipments that come through this route. If that route gets disrupted, if ships cannot pass safely, the entire global energy market goes into shock, prices spike, supply chains collapse, industrial economies that rely on imported energy start grinding to a halt. And here is the part that makes this a nightmare for the United States and its allies. Geography does not treat both sides equally. On the Gulf side, you have the oil producing states, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain. These countries are mostly flat.

15:43Desert terrain open, exposed, their critical infrastructure, their oil fields, their pipelines, their desalination plants, their export terminals. All of it sits out in the open, visible, and vulnerable. Now, look at the other side. On the Iranian side of the street, you have mountains, massive rugged mountain ranges that stretch along the entire coastline. And those mountains are not just scenery. They are natural fortresses. Iran has spent decades embedding missile systems, drone launch sites, and military installations deep into those mountains hidden, protected. Nearly impossible to hit with conventional strikes. So, what does that mean strategically? It means Iran can launch attacks against the Gulf from behind a wall of rock and stone, it can fire missiles at oil infrastructure, at shipping lanes, at desalination plants, and the defending side has an incredibly difficult time striking back effectively. Iran can project offensive power across the street while sitting inside a defensive fortress. That is not a military advantage. That is a geographic gift. And it changes the entire calculus of this war. Because as long as Iran controls those mountain positions overlooking the

16:46straight, it holds the ability to threaten the single most important energy corridor on earth. Geography is not just the backdrop of this conflict. Geography is the weapon. Now, let me hit you with the math. Because this is the part that most people completely overlook, and honestly, it might be the most important part of this entire conflict. We are used to thinking about military power in terms of technology. Who has the best jets? Who has the most advanced missile defense systems? Who has the biggest satellites, the smartest bombs, the most sophisticated hardware? And for decades, that is exactly how the game worked. The United States built the most technologically advanced military the world has ever seen. Stealth bombers, aircraft carriers, multi-billion dollar defense systems, the assumption was simple. If you have the most advanced technology, you dominate the battlefield. End of story. But this war is flipping that assumption on its head. Here is what is actually happening. Iran is producing drones that cost roughly $50,000 each. Some cost even less. These are relatively

17:47simple machines. They carry a small explosive payload. They can be launched from hundreds of kilometers away. They are not sophisticated. They do not need to be. Now, in order to stop one of these drones, the defending side has to fire an interceptor missile. And that interceptor missile can cost anywhere from one million to ten million dollars. Sometimes even more, depending on the system being used, so do the map. The attacker spends $50,000. The defender spends $10 million. The attacker is spending a fraction of a penny for every dollar the defender spends. And it gets worse. In many cases, the defending side does not fire just one interceptor at each incoming target. Sometimes they fire two, sometimes five. There have been reported instances where ten or even eleven interceptors were launched at a single incoming missile or drone. Eleven interceptors at ten million dollars each against a target worth fifty thousand. That is over a hundred million dollars spent to stop a fifty thousand dollar weapon. Now scale that up. Imagine hundreds of these drones being launched. Imagine thousands over the course of a prolonged conflict. Every single engagement is a financial victory for the attacker and a financial hemorrhage for the defender.

18:51Over time, interceptor stockpiles start running low. Supply chains cannot keep up. The defense industry, which was designed to build small numbers of extremely expensive weapons, cannot suddenly switch to mass production of cheap interceptors. The entire military doctrine, the entire economic model of warfare that the United States has operated under since the Cold War, starts to buckle under the weight of this asymmetry. And here is the deeper consequence that no one is talking about. For decades, there has been a global perception that American military power is unchallengeable. After the Soviet Union collapsed, the world believed that no one could seriously threaten the United States military. That belief was not just a matter of pride. It was a strategic asset. Countries align themselves with America partly because they believed its military shield was impenetrable. Investors poured money into American protected regions because they trusted that shield. The entire global order was built in part on the perception of American military invincibility. But what happens when cheap drones start punching poles in that perception? What happens when the

19:55math stops working? What happens when the world watches a $50,000 weapon neutralize a $10 million defense system on live televisions? He'll be stands for truth, liberty and balance.

23:29. Rand War Day 8 of region water desolination plants under attack. Tell of it fully blacked out cord of half a burning to the ground as Rand pounds is real. Rand, we will no longer launch missile with warheads lighter than one time. Larry Johnson, growing doubts by US and Israel about the war with Rand. Here he is with Judge Napolitano. Let's pick it up with Larry Johnson. . Forecast suggests Poland could hit 6000 move. Russia reminded India that when you betray us as a friend, there's a price to be paid. Prime Minister Modi went to Israel two days before the start

24:34of the Israeli-US unlawful, illegal, immoral attack on Iran. And boy, he talked about bowing and scraping. Modi had a big case of chap stick with him for all of the rear-end smooching that he was doing. Oh my god. And they signed a number of mutual security agreements and security cooperation. He referred to India as like the father land for for Judaism for at least Indian Jews and Israel's the mother land. I mean, if this was sugar, you would have come away in a diabetic coma. So two days later than the war starts. India is 80 percent dependent on the flow of oil out of the Persian Gulf. The shutdown of the supply of oil that's coming out has all that took oil from $65 a barrel to now $110 a barrel.

25:43That is an economic cost. It's not just that the price is going up. There is no oil coming out. This is so we've never experienced anything in history like this. We've had previous spikes in the price of oil. You know, when the special military operation started, Russia started with Ukraine, oil spiked. I think it got up to like $200 a barrel, the briefly. During the after-mathy, the Am Kapoor war back in 1973-74. But the supply was not suspended. The supply now is suspended. So now India is faced with, oh, we gotta go find some other oil. Well, they had been buying, they had been tweaking the United States knows by buying oil for Russia, but they were getting it at a discount. And basically they told Russia, well, yeah, we'd like to buy your oil, but we're violating sanctions. So we need a, we need a, a sweetener. So Russia would sell them to

26:49them at, you know, $55 a barrel instead of the $60 a barrel. Well, you know, India comes back to, to Russia and says, hey, be our friend. Can you make up the supply? And Russia's like, no problem. We got you covered, but sorry, you know, situations being what it is, you're going to have to pay $5 above the Brent number, one of the indices that's used. So India, you know, India's learning a hard lesson. It, it, if it had not done what it did with Israel and by, but it really had betrayed Iran as a BRICS member. It would have probably had a much better deal coming out of Russia, but you know, Russia, Russia's played hardball with them now. And then India is going to have to work its way back into the good graces of the Kremlin. Why, why would India have cut those deals with Israel? Money, money. I mean, the key supporter, I'm sure when you

27:55trace it back into India, the key supporters of Modi have very close ties with Israel. And, you know, there's been not a peak out of Modi can damage the unlawful attack by the United States and the Israel on Iran. I mean, this is, you know, we've become, I guess, just insensitive. We've lost, we've lost our, our, our nerve endings so that when something, something so horrific, so wrong takes place, it weren't sort of cis by knives. Oh, yeah, that's off. That's, that's bad, but life goes on. Well, this is life ain't going on after this. This is fundamentally going to change the world in some cases in a good way, in some cases in a bad way. Before we jump to the latest in the war and the shenanigans of the intelligence community, here's Treasury Secretary

28:56Besson. I mean, you got to wonder where he comes from. The United States is giving permission to India. If I were to watch this, it's going to be, you know, what you're going to say to me this morning, Chris, I got number 18. The Indians had been very good actors. We had asked them to stop buying sanctioned Russian oil. This fall, they did. They're going to substitute it with US oil. Five, two. You are tuned in to the Republic Broadcasting Network.

33:18I bought you one early roller. He got hair down to his knee. Got to be a joker. He just do what it please. Well, it's the lunch season in a panic, as well as money and media attention have all gone to the Middle East. Early Iran strikes cost 5.6 million in munitions, just munitions alone. That's not talking about the destruction of the facilities. Some of these radar units cost a billion or by themselves. Not to mention the injuries and death of American military. Scott Britter and Colonel Daniel Davis are ran hitting our bases like no enemy before. Oman condemns U.S. Israeli war on Iran as immoral and illegal. Remember now, Oman was serving as a negotiator about the, you know, a new agreement between Iran and the U.S.

34:27and not developing nuclear weapons. And it wasn't the Oman moderator declared a breakthrough that Netanyahu realizing that support for Israel is falling out here in the United States. Realized he had to strike now or lose his chance for apps forever and took out the Ayatollah, whom ironically, given that Mimi was basing so much of his rhetoric on the alleged nuclear weapons threat from Iran, was a single decisive feature in denying Iran nuclear weapons by means of a fatwa, a religious edict, the rant could not pursue nuclear weapons. And yet, maybe the first thing he does is take him out now he's succeeded by his son who's a hardliner and I am very inclined to believe Iran's going to now go ahead and pursue nuclear weapons.

35:31And surprise, surprise, contrary to all previous assertions, it ought to issue in appearing as stability, but then again, Israel will have been wiped out. So, of course, we still face the risk that Israel or the United States may decide to resort to nuclear weapons in which case all bets are off, because Russia and China are not going to allow Iran to fall. Meanwhile, Kevin Barrett, it's a global war between good and evil. Meanwhile, we've had all this dispute about the hit on the Girl School. The United States out of it admitted it was just a targeting mistake right off the bat, because now we appear to be cowardly and lacking in willingness to acknowledge our mistakes. Missile fragments from Rand School, Massacre, Mark, made in USA, but Trump keeps lying very, very bad. Leader of this most powerful nation in the world is lying

36:38about a matter as important as this, breaking news. US at fault in strike on Iranian military school preliminary inquiry say it was obvious from the beginning. Meanwhile, a top Iranian security official is threatened Trump. Bear in mind by taking up by assessing the IATOLE, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump plays themselves as legitimate targets for an Iranian retaliation. Mark my words. And Trump, by virtue of his complicity here, though, allegedly, he didn't know that maybe he struck before Trump knew what was going on, and in my opinion, he still does and know what's going on. Three presidents, Reagan Carter and Ford had all assigned executive work for bidding the assassination of foreign leaders. So when we took out Saddam Hussein just three weeks into the Iraq invasion war, and W1 to announce it on the Abraham Lincoln off the coast of San Diego at

37:47the time, mission accomplished. He was reined in from doing so because of those executive orders. He would have been admitting to take it in action. It was illegal. And to the best of my knowledge remains so those executive orders are still in place. Meanwhile, French Navy pledges 10 additional warships to the Middle East. This is frankly lunacy, 10 additional warships to be escorts for the Strait of Hormuz, in which case they're going to be blown right out of the water. The French Navy was sent eight frigates and two of these assault ships, the Eastern Mediterranean Red Sea, joined aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, following an Iranian droid attack on a cypress-based joint operating installation. They should have just bit the bullet and accepted it.

38:49While the crisis in Iran, the war in Iran, is affecting the entire region. It's important for me to come here alongside of you, along with the Prime Minister of Greece to tell when cypress isn't attacked. It is Europe that is attacked. And that the offensive cypress is obviously a crucial issue for your country, for your neighbor, partner, and friend Greece, but also for France, and with it the European Union, President Emmanuel Macron said Monday, speaking in cypress, this will not have a happy ending. Iran can defend the Straits of Hormuz until the cows come home, mark my words. Meanwhile, we'll get fooled again. Courts have let arms to the USV for it. There are parallels that every year they try to create a Kurdish uprising in Iran, which is a threat to both Turkey and Iran. They're not going to stand for it,

39:51because the Israelis or the US are promising them a Kurdish state that would come out at Turkish and Iranian land. It's not going to happen. Meanwhile, Israel planned war in Iran for 40 years. Everything else is a smokescreen, rights anti-war.com, which is 100 percent called Iraq. Meanwhile, the war on Iran is squandering America's military age, rights the American conservative. But it's really, as our Chinese professor has explained, less the military age, more importantly our economic role with a petrodollar, which is going down the drain. Bahrainians are already declared they're not going to continue to harbor American bases. Once the American bases are gone, the agreement to trade in American dollars is lost, and the petrodollar, which has preserved the United States, prominence for the

40:58last 50 years, is vanished forever. Marked my words, the value of the dollar will drop precipitously and our quality of life will never be the same. Early Tuesday morning, President Trump lashed out for those arguing the US would soon run out of missiles to fuel his war of choice in Iran. The US munitions stockpiles have a medium and upper-medium grade never been higher or better. We can fight forever and very successfully using Justice supplies. Trump is right about one thing. Like a US government, it can strain on fighting in Iran. Stockpiles are not unlimited, but they are plenty deep to allow the military to fight for as long as Trump chooses. But Trump's war will do long-term damage to US military power, create an extended period of vulnerability that the United States will struggle to overcome,

42:04and indeed the consequences are going to be far greater and more profound. Meanwhile, Russia claims Israel attacked its cultural center in Lebanon, but according to the Israeli, in an unprovoked act of aggression, no doubt. Meanwhile, even if Trump wanted it, a military draft would be a fiasco, a responsible statecraft. The option of a conscripting American for military service in Iran may be on the table, but it won't work. Mother's out there are worried we're going to have a draft that they're going to see their sons and daughters get involved in this, set a Fox News anchor, Maria Marta Romha. What do you want to say about the President's plans for troops on the ground, asking Carol and Lavrent the President's press secretary? She doesn't mention the draft in

43:06her response specifically, but said repeatedly no option has been ruled out. Presumably those options include the draft, which was a focus of the question that was comments. I like the way that even when a draft is neither likely nor feasible, military planners, and politicians insist on keeping it on their playbook of options for military escalation and threats, you would see a war protest movement like none the Americans ever known for exceeding what happened in relation to Vietnam. Meanwhile, we have a pro-Israel U.S. Congressman saying, Muslims don't belong in America. This is insane. Democrats condemn Islamophobic remarks by U.S. lawmakers and the Oogles amid a surge in anti-Muslim rhetoric online since the Israel

44:09U.S. war on Iran began. A Republican member of the United States Congress has sparked rights with condemnation after glaring on social media that Muslims have no place in American society. And the Oogles wrote on Hacks Monday, Muslims don't belong in American society, adding in the same post, pluralism is a lie. See, my's will add, Christians don't have a place in American society either because they'd prefer this become a Jewish state. It was not immediately here what prompted is remarks however, social media monitors have reported sharply increasing anti-Muslim content since Israel and U.S. launched an attack on Iran at February 28th. Of course, of course, what else would you expect? Meanwhile, in a rationale, this is now the Russian

45:10missile, just to bring us back to a moment of sobriety. Can't hit carriers in minutes. NATO has no answer, and I'm telling you, Iran has missiles that could take out our carriers in minutes as well for which we have no answer. Stand by. That I have no doubt maybe in the next waves coming from Iran. This is now. We'd love to share it with you, Accommoders. This is now at the Arashnik, here it is. February 20th, 2026. Satellite imagery shows layered air defense systems positioned around a former airfield near Khrichal in eastern Belarus. Analysts identified hardened perimeters, electronic warfare units, and defensive rings protecting what is widely assessed to be a forward deployment site for the Arashnik system. From Belarus, Warsaw lies roughly 400 kilometers away. Ramstein airbase in Germany is within 1,500 kilometers. At hypersonic velocity, distance converts directly into time. At Mach 10,

46:14approximately 12,000 kilometers per hour, a glide vehicle covers 1,500 kilometers in roughly seven to eight minutes. Arashnik is built around velocity, and Mach 8 to Mach 10, atmospheric friction generates extreme heat. The surrounding air ionizes into plasma, partially distorting radar signatures, tracking remains possible, but signal clarity degrades. Prediction becomes harder. Traditional ballistic missiles follow predictable arcs. Their boost phase is visible to infrared satellites. Their trajectory can be modeled. Hypersonic glide vehicles behave differently. After initial boost, they descend into the atmosphere and maneuver at high speed, altering trajectory mid-flight. That maneuverability reduces intercept predictability. Missile defense systems rely on time and prediction. Hypersonic systems compress both. A conventional ballistic launch may provide 15 minutes of warning in certain scenarios. A regional hypersonic strike can reduce that window to three to seven minutes. Every second

47:14matters. At Mach 10, a vehicle travels roughly 3.4 kilometers per second. In less than two seconds, it shifts 5 kilometers. By the time tracking stabilizes, the target has moved significantly. If maneuvering occurs during descent, defensive systems must constantly recalculate engagement solutions rather than rely on ballistic forecasts. This does not make interception impossible. It makes the margin thinner. The Belarus deployment reinforces this compression. Forward positioning reduces distance. Reduced distance reduces warning time. Reduced warning time reduces options. What's happening in Israel already is that the Iranian missiles are traveling so fast that the warning systems aren't able to catch up with them until they've already hit. That's where getting hits in Israel, where there has been no warning whatsoever that they were coming. Trump is reportedly systematically taking down London.

48:15Now, this is something I haven't quite sorted out yet. Let's see what the claim is. Trump called Britain uncooperative from the Oval Office and replaced Lloyd's at London. Is he unsure of the straight-off or moves? Breaking 300 years at crown control over global energy in a single day. Yes, but it was under deras. Because no one else would be so stupid as to ensure the sheriffs sicken and navigate the straights of horror moves. This week Donald Trump sent out loud from the Oval Office what no American president has said in 80 years Spain has been very, very uncooperative and so has UK. Now, the second one is shocking, but this is not the age of Churchill. I will say the UK has been very, very uncooperative with that and the the rude relationship situation. But the president didn't just publicly trash Britain from the Oval Office. He outflying Britain's chaos operation in the straight-off or moves. When Lloyd's

49:21in London announced it was terminating insurance for Gulf shipping, a move which could throw the world economy into chaos. President Trump ordered the United States Development Finance Corporation to step in and provide that coverage. And he put the Navy on notice to escort tankers through the straight. What you're watching is an American president who doesn't need Britain's permission to strike Irene and doesn't need Britain's insurance markets to keep the world's oil moving. Yeah, but we, but he can't do it. The American Navy isn't going to participate in a suicide mission. They've already declared they have no ships available for that mission. So it ain't going to happen. It's Trump being boastful out of ignorance. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Meanwhile, Trump admin uses AI for regime change, raising questions of sovereignty.

54:38some are living in my life. I'd love them all. Two stories from the Daily Mail that are whoppers. CIA accused a secret bio-efficient experiment linked to major outbreak in its own people, in its own people. How bad is this? A biochemist has claimed to have found evidence of a modern-lime outbreak, and he could have been the result of ill CIA bio-efficient experiments. Dr. Robert Malone, who helped lay the groundwork for the MRNA vaccine technology, made the explosive allegations this week after analyzing declassified government documents. Historical records from Cold War Biological Weapon program and scientific research on tick-borne diseases, as though that were not bad enough. CIA faces furious backlash

55:47after hidden documents with potential cure for cancer is declassified after 60 years. So CIA may have had to cure for cancer for 60 years and not declassified at unbelievable. This is just got awful, but it shows how bad are intelligence agencies. My opinion, we'd be better off without the CIA. You could stand to have an agency that performed that task. It was originally delegated to assess intelligence from around the world, but that's not organic. It's outgrown. Its usefulness has become a monster, affecting nations worldwide. We wouldn't be in the dire straits we're in now with Iran, we're not for CIA intervention and remember. The very first coup abroad engineered by Kermit Roosevelt, who was a cousin of former

56:47President Theodore, was in Iran, that he posed a democratically elected government of Iran in order to install the Shah, because most of the prime minister had nationalized the oil and the international oil, UK, and American companies didn't like it. So oil has been a constant theme, then installing the Shah who ran a reign of terror from 1953 to 1979, when the Iranian people rose up and reclaimed control of their own government. We struck the first blow against Iran. It was very severe. A reign of terror from 1953 to 1979. So the reason they talk about death to American cause, the great Satan has been there, done that. They have suffered the inequities of a CIA coup in their own country, which your media will not tell you. The American
