- Tucker Carlson released a video addressing the war with Iran, arguing he was among the few who warned Washington weeks before the conflict began and that President Trump did not heed that warning. The discussion notes Tucker’s appearance in Washington with Trump and mentions supporters like JD Vance and Tulsi Gabbard. - Carlson’s framework for analyzing a major war is introduced as four questions: 1) Why did this happen? 2) What was the point of it? 3) Where does it go from here? 4) How do we respond? - On why this war happened, the speakers assert a simple answer: this happened because Israel wanted it to happen. The conflict is characterized as Israel’s war, not primarily for U.S. national security objectives, and not about weapons of mass destruction. The argument is made that the decision to engage was driven by Israel, with Benjamin Netanyahu demanding U.S. military action and pressuring the U.S. through multiple White House visits. - The speakers contend that many generals warned against the war due to insufficient military capacity, but those warnings were reportedly ignored as officials lied about capability and duration of a potential conflict. They claim there was no credible plan for replacing Iran’s government after a potential topple, highlighting concerns about Iran’s size, diversity, and the risk of regional chaos. - The discussion suggests a history of manipulation and misinformation, citing a 2002 exchange where Netanyahu allegedly pushed for regime change in Iran and noting Dennis Kucinich’s account that Netanyahu said the Americans had to do it. They argue this war is the culmination of a long-term strategy backed by Netanyahu. - On what the point of the war would be for Israel, the speakers say the objective is regional hegemony. Israel seeks to determine regional outcomes with minimal constraints, aiming to decapitate Iran to allow broader actions in the Middle East, including potential expansionist goals. They argue Iran’s nuclear program was used as a pretext, though they contend Iran was not imminently close to a nuclear weapon. - The role of regional players is examined, including the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states—Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman—and their strategic importance as energy producers and regional influencers. The speakers claim Israel and the U.S. sought to weaken or destabilize these Gulf states to reduce their capacity to counter Israel’s regional dominance and to push the U.S. out of the Middle East. - It is asserted that Netanyahu’s strategy would involve reducing American involvement, thereby weakening U.S. credibility as a security partner in the region. The claim is that the Gulf states have been left more vulnerable, with missile threats and disrupted energy infrastructure, and that Israel’s actions are designed to force the U.S. to withdraw from the region. - The speakers argue that Europe stands to suffer as well, notably through potential refugee inflows and disruptions to LNG supplies from Qatar; Europe’s energy security and economy could be adversely affected. - The discussion notes alleged Israeli actions in the Gulf, including reports of Mossad activity and bombings in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, though it is presented as part of a broader narrative about destabilization and its costs. - The potential consequences outlined include cascading chaos in Iran, refugee crises in Europe, and a weakened United States as an ally in the Middle East. The speakers predict long-term strategic losses for Europe, the Gulf states, and the U.S. - The discussion concludes with a warning that, if Israel achieves its aims to decapitate Iran, the region could destabilize further, potentially triggering broader geopolitical shifts. A final reference is made to Naftali Bennett portraying Turkey as the new threat, illustrating ongoing great-power competition in the region. - The overall message emphasizes truthfulness in reporting, critiques of media narratives, and the view that Western audiences have been propagandized into seeing Middle East conflicts as moral battles rather than power dynamics between competing states.

Nobody in this country cares about watching bombs go off, but they are interested in the Mexican border, which I just visited for three days. Mexico is a cesspool of barbarism and criminality, and that's our existential threat, not China, Russia, or Iran. The cartels run everything in Mexico, and everyone knows the truth. My son was just in Mexico City, and people told him where not to go and what not to do to avoid the cartels. If you cross them, you're dead. The cartels also take care of their own, providing healthcare and other benefits. The weapons they have are serious, including RPGs and Javelin missile systems. Border patrolmen and Texas guard people have seen them just across the border. Some of these weapons may have come from Ukraine, where corruption is rampant and a lot of the aid we send ends up on the black market.

We're seeing Reaper drones hunting for fentanyl labs run by criminal cartels in Mexican airspace. These MQ-9 drones aren't armed yet but can be. The CIA is sharing the drone intel with Mexican officials to help dismantle these labs, which emit detectable chemicals. These flights have occurred before, even under the Trump administration. There are concerns about potential overreach and violating Mexico's sovereignty. Designating cartels as terrorist organizations is expected this week. Also, Border Patrol briefly stopped using body cameras due to risks like triggering IEDs and location leaks on social media. However, the stand-down has already been lifted, and agents are resuming normal camera operations. I've reached out to Axon, the manufacturer, and CBP to understand the fix.

The discussion centers on CNN’s report that the CIA is establishing a foothold in Venezuela, with the claim that the CIA has, for decades, enabled the Venezuelan drug trade. The speakers argue that the attack on Venezuela cannot be about drugs if the CIA itself facilitated drug trafficking. They cite CIA whistleblower Kevin Shipp, who said the CIA has been involved in Venezuela since at least the Cartel of the Sun, run by a general who was a CIA proxy and helped reconstitute Venezuela’s intelligence to penetrate the government; the general named Ramon Gulen allegedly ran narcotics and created the cartel of the sun. They claim the cartel is used by the Trump administration as a pretext to stage attacks on boats and in Venezuela and that the CIA, with its long history, was behind the Secret Service and the general in creating the drug trade and the cartel, with the Trump administration leveraging it to circumvent Congress. There is reference to a 60 Minutes piece from the 1990s reporting that the CIA collaborated with Venezuelan National Guard generals who moved tons of cocaine into the United States. The conversation then moves to John Kerry, who in the mid-1980s led the Contra Cocaine Investigation hearings into U.S. government complicity in the contra drug trade. The Reagan administration resisted the inquiry, attempted to discredit witnesses, and assigned the CIA to monitor the probe. Ten years later, the HITS report (the CIA Inspector General report authorized under Inspector General Frederick HITS) concluded that while the CIA did not officially participate in cocaine trafficking during the Contra War, it knowingly maintained relationships with and protected numerous contra-linked individuals and organizations involved in the drug trade when deemed operationally important, to keep the Contra War alive and to maintain U.S. objectives in Central America, even if it meant enabling and protecting drug lords; the CIA hid this from Congress, contributing to drug flow into the United States. The Iran-Contra framework is referenced as arms to Iran funding the Contras, with connections to cocaine trafficking, forming a single pipeline, allegedly placing the CIA at the center of these operations. The panel critiques CNN’s headline as suggesting the CIA’s new foothold is about establishing a presence, arguing the real aim is to block Russia and China’s influence, not democracy or drugs. Venezuela’s oil trade outside the petrodollar with BRICS nations is noted, with claims that the move away from the petrodollar spurred interference and invasion, and that Venezuela later returned to endorsing the petrodollar after a period of yuan transactions with China. The discourse asserts that the CIA’s purpose is to prevent free trade outside U.S. influence and to suppress alternative financial arrangements like BRICS or yuan-based oil transactions. The participants discuss the idea that the CIA has shifted from operating covertly to openly engaging in such activities, suggesting a normalization of “strategy of tension” and the notion that a third of the population would support the government’s actions, a third oppose, and a third are indifferent, thereby reducing public resistance. They connect these elements to broader media complicity, including Operation Mockingbird and the integration of former intelligence heads into media roles, implying entrenched deep-state influence.

We're seeing Reaper drones hunting for fentanyl labs run by criminal cartels in Mexican airspace. These drones, while currently unarmed, can be equipped for precision strikes. The CIA is sharing the intel gathered with Mexican officials to dismantle these labs, which emit detectable chemicals. Previously, the Trump administration had similar drone flights but without notifying Mexican partners. There are concerns about potential overreach. Using US military in a foreign country could resemble an invasion. Mexico's president downplayed the drone presence as campaign related. Our president is expected to formally designate six Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations this week. Also, Border Patrol briefly stopped using body cameras due to radio frequencies that could trigger explosives and social media posts revealing agent locations. The order to stand down has been lifted, and agents are wearing body cams again, but we are waiting to hear how the issues were resolved.

We're seeing Reaper drones hunting for fentanyl labs run by criminal cartels in Mexico. These drones aren't armed now but can be. The CIA shares the drone intel with Mexican officials to help dismantle these labs, which emit detectable chemicals. These missions have occurred before. Under the Trump administration, notifications were made without mentioning Mexican partners. There are concerns about potential violations to national sovereignty if the US military crosses the border. Despite these concerns, Mexico's president dismissed the drone flights as campaign tactics. We anticipate the President will formally designate six cartels as terrorist organizations this week. In other news, Border Patrol briefly stopped using body cameras due to risks of triggering explosive devices and social media leaks of agent locations. However, the stand down has been lifted, and agents are to resume using body cameras. We are currently trying to find out the solution and how they are mitigating the risk.

As an outsider in Texas, immigration has drastically changed the state. Trump effectively enforced federal laws, unlike previous administrations. Designating drug cartels as terrorist organizations allows the military to act against them, protecting states from cartel violence. The Biden administration's policies have indirectly funded the cartels, encouraging illegal immigration, which is a major profit source for them. They use these profits to buy weapons, some of which are surface-to-air, creating potential threats. George Soros has influenced the election of DA's in key Texas counties, leading to a proliferation of crime as these DA's often fail to prosecute, even financial crimes. This gives cartels an open invitation to operate. There's a fear among politicians of being targeted by these DAs, preventing effective action against crime.

Dr. Paul and the other speaker discuss a sequence of public claims and shifts regarding Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, and the Cartel de los Soles. They begin by recalling a $50,000,000 bounty on President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela, arguing that Maduro is the head of a narco-terrorist drug cartel called Cartel de los Soles. They note that Secretary of State-designate Marco Rubio stated in November that the State Department intends to designate Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization headed by the illegitimate Nicolas Maduro, asserting that the group has corrupted Venezuela’s institutions and is responsible for terrorist violence conducted with other designated foreign terrorist organizations, as well as for trafficking drugs into the U.S. and Europe. The speakers claim that for weeks Americans were exposed to a narrative portraying foreign narco-terrorist cartels running the country and that this narrative influenced public opinion, making some believe it might be acceptable to take drastic actions, including attacking boats, on the premise that “they’re all terrorists.” They then point to a development that “dropped yesterday,” presenting a clip that, once Maduro was “in their grasp,” the Justice Department allegedly dropped the claim that Venezuela’s Cartel de los Soles is an actual group. They assert that after months of hype intended to drum up support for invading Venezuela, the claim was retracted, with the implication that the government figures had misrepresented the situation. The speakers compare this sequence to the Iraq WMD narrative, asserting that officials “swore up and down for years” about WMDs, and when the invasion occurred they were shown joking about the existence of WMDs. They recall President George W. Bush joking about WMDs at a White House Correspondents’ Dinner, looking under the couch and the coffee table, asking “Where’s those WMDs?” They conclude by likening the Cartel de los Soles to the WMDs of their operation, arguing that the construct is already completely falling apart. The overarching claim is that the Cartel de los Soles was used as a justification for aggressive action, and that the narrative surrounding the cartel has been exposed as unreliable or false.

The speaker asserts that cartels are running Mexico and expresses that it is very sad to watch what has happened to the country. They claim that the cartels are killing about 250,000 to 300,000 people in our country every single year, mentioning drugs as part of the issue.

The speaker is on Fresno Mountain near the border wall, which they say would have been completed under President Trump but was halted by Joe Biden, allowing cartels to exploit the openings. Border patrol agents are present due to armed cartel scouts on the mountain, carrying long guns, possibly AK-47s. The speaker claims to be positioned between the border patrol and Mexico, with armed cartel members nearby. They believe the cartels are getting desperate and testing limits, operating in areas without a wall. The speaker alleges the cartels have been given $12 billion per year by Joe Biden and the Democrats and are ready to fight. They advocate for military intervention to combat the cartels and hold accountable those aiding them.

The president of Mexico is furious. She's calling Mexican senator Lily Tejas, a traitor, for coming on Fox Noticias with me a few days ago and saying this. Tejas says, "The help from The United States to fight the cartels in Mexico is absolutely welcome, and that is how the majority of Mexicans feel." She adds, "The only ones who don't like that president Trump is sending help and trying to support Mexicans against the cartels are the narco politicians. That includes president Scheinbaum." When asked, "Is Mexico a narco state?" she answers, "Yes, It is, And we all Mexicans know about it." She claims, "The party has financed, has given the cartels have given so much money to the to these politicians, narco politicians of Morena, to get into office, to get the power. So they protect the the Mexican government protects the cartels." She warns, "We are on the steps to be the next Venezuela. She's aligned with Venezuela's dictator with Cuba, and and we are losing our country." "We must work together to defeat the cartels and to get freedom for our country, for Mexico, to stop it to from being the next Venezuela." Officials respond, "we just turned over 26, cartel members. We're working. We're sharing intelligence." Tejas counters, "Because she really doesn't want the help of The United States." She adds, "Yes. I am afraid." She says, "The cartels are dominating everything here in Mexico. They are in all the offices of the government, in the states, in the cities, and in the national government." She concludes, "I will not step back." The host closes, "Senator Lily Deyes, a very brave woman indeed. Thank you so much for coming on our show and speaking the truth."

Border patrol agents have exchanged gunfire with Mexican drug cartels, and the situation is expected to escalate. President Trump plans to seal the border and dismantle the cartels, which he has designated as terrorist organizations. The goal is to eliminate their involvement in trafficking, smuggling, and drug operations, leading to increased violence at the southwest border. The U.S. government will take action against these groups not only in Mexico but also in the 42 countries where the Jalisco cartel operates. The Trump administration aims to confront them decisively, similar to the approach taken against the caliphate, with the intent to destroy them.

The speaker states that, according to the Trump administration, cartels have been labeled a foreign terrorist organization. The speaker then asks for a response to this designation and a message for Donald Trump.

Speaker 0: Have you considered talking to the president of Colombia who you called a drop leader? Speaker 1: No. I haven't really thought too much about him. He's been fairly hostile to The United States, and I haven't given him a lot of thought. He's he's gonna have himself some big problems if he doesn't wise up. Speaker 2: Did you say Colombia is producing a lot of drugs. Have cocaine factories that they make cocaine, as you know, and they sell it right into The United States. So he better wise up or he'll be next. He'll be next too. I hope he's listening. Speaker 0: So was this operation a message that you're sending to Mexico, to Claudia Scheinbaum, president there? Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't meant to be. We're very friendly with her. She's a good woman, but the cartels are running Mexico. She's not running Mexico. The cartels are running Mexico. We could be politically correct and be nice and say, oh, yes. Is no. No. She's very, you know, she's very frightened of the cartels that are running Mexico. And I've asked her numerous times, would you like us to take out the cartels? No. No. No, mister president. No. No, no, please. So we have to do something because we lost the real number is 300,000 people, in my opinion. You know, they like to say a 100,000. A 100,000 is a lot of people, but the real number is 300,000 people. And we lost it to drugs, and they come in through the southern border, mostly the southern border. A lot plenty come in through Canada too, by the way, in case you don't know. But but they come in through the southern border, and something's gonna have to be done with Mexico. Cuban government, the Trump administration's next target, mister secretary, very quickly. Speaker 3: Well, the Cuban government is a is a huge problem. Yeah. The the the the Cuban government is a huge problem for Speaker 2: some So is that a yes? Speaker 3: Cuba. But I don't think people fully appreciate. I think they're in a lot of trouble. Yes. I'm not gonna talk talk to you about what our future steps are gonna be and our policies are gonna be right now in this regard, but I don't think it's any mystery that we are not big fans of the Cuban regime, who, by the way, are the ones that were propping up Maduro. His entire, like, internal security force, his internal security opera apparatus is entirely controlled by Cubans. One of the untold stories here is how, in essence, you talk about colonization because I think you said Dulce Rodriguez mentioned that, the ones who have sort of colonized, at least inside the regime, are Cubans. It was Cubans that guarded Maduro. He was not guarded by Venezuelan bodyguards. He had Cuban bodyguards. In terms of their internal intelligence, who spies on who inside to make sure there are no traitors, those are all Cubans. Speaker 0: He felt very strongly. We we needed for nationals. We need Greenland for national security, not for minerals. We had some we have so many sites for minerals and oil and everything. We have more oil than any other country in the world. We need Greenland for national security.

- Fox News-style segment declares judgment day for Maduro, describing him as a narco terrorist socialist dictator who took over for Hugo Chavez and flooding the U.S. with migrants, gangs, and cocaine. 11 US warships, including the USS Gerald R. Ford, are in the Caribbean; Venezuela is surrounded. The strike group awaits orders as the president’s White House meetings calculate the next move against the narco state. Trump is said to be giving Maduro an ultimatum: abdicate power or face force; after a phone call, the claim is that it’s a decisive moment. - The New York Times allegedly reported a phone call with Maduro; Trump confirms it happened but offers few details. Reports describe Maduro asking for global amnesty and elections, which Trump reportedly rejected. Maduro allegedly asked if stepping down would still allow him to control the military; the claim is Maduro was told to pack his bags. - It’s claimed Maduro, despite a $50 million bounty, remains in power through crony bribery tied to coke, oil, and gold rackets. The narrative asserts that this time, the narcos aren’t calling the shots; Uncle Sam is, with Trump tightening the noose. In the last 24 hours, airspace above Venezuela was closed, described as an escalation. - Questions are raised about ground troops in Venezuela, with officials saying there are many options on the table and that Maduro is a sitting duck who could be out before Christmas. Beijing and Moscow are cast as not supporting Maduro, while Trump supposedly engages in larger trade and diplomatic deals with them. Venezuelan gangs are said to have trafficked large quantities of cocaine to West Africa, fueling flows to Europe. - Chuck Schumer is described as previously backing military action in multiple countries; now under Trump, there are questions about plans in Venezuela. The segment emphasizes that drugs are framed as a national security issue, with a focus on destroying cartel finances by targeting cocaine boats, described as 40-foot speedboats carrying millions in contraband. - The CIA is asserted to be on the ground with authorized options for the president; Operation Southern Spear is said to defend the American homeland from drug warfare. A debate erupts over the legitimacy and legality of strikes in the Caribbean, with references to a Washington Post report of a second strike that reportedly killed survivors, which some call a war crime and others defend as lawful self-defense in international waters. - Critics are represented as arguing there’s no war with Venezuela, but rather murder; discussions surface about whether a second strike that killed survivors constitutes a war crime. Some participants warn against obeying unlawful orders, citing laws that prohibit interfering with military loyalty or discipline, and noting that some veterans would refuse illegal orders. - The View is invoked to question accountability for orders; a captain in the Navy is asked if he would carry out orders to strike drug boats. The segment accuses a “Seditious Six” and a CIA-backed propaganda effort of aiming to undermine Trump’s Latin American actions, suggesting factions within the government leak intelligence and oppose a successful Latin American operation. - The overall theme portrays a high-stakes U.S. intervention in Venezuela as a landmark confrontation with Maduro, framed by constitutional-law debates, alleged war-crimes concerns, and internal political maneuvering aimed at potential martial-law or insurrection scenarios, all while positioning the CIA, the Monroe Doctrine, and Operation Southern Spear as central to deterring narcotics and reasserting American deterrence.
