Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to this morning's episode of Trending The Madness of King Trump. Now, is that being used to pave the way for JD Vance? Thank you so much for joining us. Um, Straight Horn Moose is closed again. Ceasefire's going well, isn't it? What's the point? It's theatre, innit? I keep talking about it. It's that carrot and the stick thing. Give them the carrot, which is the pieces just round the corner. We've got a ceasefire. Fuel's gonna be released into the West, into Europe. It's gonna be great. Don't worry about it. It's gonna be fine. It keeps you on board, doesn't it? And then, as predictable as it gets, suddenly, oh no, actually, it's all kicked off again. So as soon as the ceasefire was agreed, Israel took ceasefire to mean launched the biggest attack on Lebanon so far. Bomb the living daylights out of Beirut. Was it a hundred bombs in in ten minutes? It's a game of war hammer to these people. It's not real. But of course, to the people on the ground, it's absolutely real. Um, and of course, they did that to wreck the ceasefire. That's the point, because Israel doesn't want the ceasefire, they they want it to roll on and roll on, and they want to drag the US back into it. So, of course, they've attacked Lebanon, and then Iran have immediately closed the Strait of Hormuz again, which was obviously going to happen. Also, Donald Trump's administration announced last night that it will automatically register eligible men, men without bone spurs, then I suppose, Donald, eligible men aged 18 to 25 for a military draft pool beginning in December. Mr. Peace President, vote for me, and there'll be no foreign wars. But once I'm in, I'll kick off a bunch of foreign wars, and then I'll draft your son and send him to die for Israel. Cheers, Donald. That's what I voted for. You've got the UK, of course, talking about military drafts as well, same in Germany. Uh Trump's threatening, this is just in the last 24 hours. Trump's threatening to leave NATO, which is obviously just to try and create and bully, um, you know, to make a but basically used as a bargaining chip essentially for him to try and take Greenland to build the technate of America, which of course we've spoken about many times. He's threatening the Pope now as well. I mean, I've got no skin in the game for the Pope, but I'm sure, you know, 1.4 billion Catholics the world over won't be amazingly uh impressed with that. He's a maniac. He's a chaos agent, which he was all he was always brought in to be a chaos agent. The question I'm asking, given now he's he's lost the room completely, pretty much. Um, the question I'm asking, is that the idea? Is that the point? So this article, I saw this yesterday, and you know, this has been something I've been thinking for a while. It's not something I've exactly kept to myself. I've been going on about it for a while about you know JD Vance and him being the technocrat's choice, funded into being by by Peter Thiel and others. So I've had lots of questions about J.D. Vance, and I've I've I've posed them on this show and in other shows and on social media. So when I saw this article yesterday, I went, hmm. What Trump's inner circle really thought of plan to go to war with Iran? CIA dismissed regime change plan as farcical. J.D. Vance said it's a bad idea. But Donald went with his instinct. Was it instinct? Or was it Compromat? Donald Trump's inner circle um almost all thought the Iran War was a bad idea, obviously, when um Israel gave a secret White House briefing that convinced them to launch Operation Epic Fury, or Epstein Fury as people call it. It's been claimed. I thought it was anti-Semitic to suggest that Israel pushed the US into war with Iran. I mean, I know they did, and you know they did. But it's still anti-Semitic, though. Um, Benjamin Netanyahu was invited to make his case for war in the situation room. Professor Plum in the Situation Room with a candlestick. The New York Times reports a venue rarely used for in-person briefings with foreign leaders. But that's because Benjamin Netanyahu isn't a foreign leader, is he? He's the de facto president, has been for 30 years. Uh, seated across from the president on February the 11th, the Israeli Prime Minister and American Prime Minister um delivered a detailed hour-long presentation. God better, that was riveting. His message was clear: Iran was vulnerable, and the time was ripe for regime change. He's been saying it for over 40 years. Iraq was a good idea, wasn't it? That was Benjamin Netanyahu. He first seeded the old weapons of mass destruction lie. Cheers for that, Benjamin. That went well. Syria was a good idea as well, wasn't it? Yeah. Yeah, that was Netanyahu. And Libya killing Gaddafi.

Woo!

SPEAKER_00 5:45

What a great idea that was. I mean, the slave markets, they they were the real piste de la résistance of that. What I'm Benjamin. Doing the same with Iran. This one's different, though. It's insane. The same guy that, like I say, did all that, that people recognise as being absolute folly, is the same guy that's now pushing for America to, you know, send its its people across to kill and be killed. You have to say, with with greatest allies like that, who needs enemies? CIA director John Ratcliffe summed it up in a single word, farcical. Correct. Absolutely farcical, but then Benjamin Netanyahu, who is farcical. He's a messianic nutcase. And he's a wanted war criminal. With nuclear weapons, and no one seems to think that that's like a problem. Trump listened, but did not dwell on it. So he's got he's got the CIA guy, the director, saying, mate, that's farcical. He's been saying it for 40 years. He's dragged us into war before, mate. I don't know if he said that, I'm saying it on his behalf. He's dragged us into war before a bunch of times based on lies. He's been saying they're two weeks away from a nuclear weapon for 40 years, Donald. It's farcical. Trump listened, but did not dwell on it. Regime change, he said, would be their problem. He's a nutcase, mate. He's a nutcase. Didn't dwell on it. Billions of dollars, dead Americans, dead Iranians. Dwell on it, mate. Dwell on it. His focus remained firmly, easy for me to say, on military action against Iran's leadership and infrastructure. Yeah, because that's what Israel demanded. And when Israel says jump, Donald says how high. He's easily, and I imagine the competition, he's easily the most owned and compromised president, oh, definitely of my lifetime, possibly all time, to be honest. And like I say, think of the competition. Bill Clinton. Within Trump's inner circle, only Vice President J.D. Vance consistently and forcefully opposed the push towards conflict. Here we go. Been saying it for well over a year. JD Vance is the tech bro choice. His career was bankrolled by Peter Thiel, like I said earlier, and the PayPal mafia. Hell, even Bill Gates likes him. Recommends his you know his books and stuff. Apparently he's a very talented author. Bill Gates is a big fan of JD Vance. And has vocalized that. You know, he's he's he's a great novelist, according to Billy Boy. I think they're lining him up. And I think he's been in line for a very, very long time. Because, you know, when I'm talking about the madness of King Trump, like it's not being revealed by accident. Do you know what I mean? Like, if you I mean, I when I played in bands, like some of the other bands and artists around me, bearing in mind, I was gonna say Zed list, beyond that level, like nobody's playing in pubs. These some of these people still had PR agents. Well, I couldn't afford one. But they had them, and you think you've got them at that level, and uh what as if as if presidents and governments don't have the best PR agencies around. They get stuff in the press and get stuff out of the press. I mean, but Biden they kept Biden's senility hidden for how long? He was always, you know, sniffing kids and stuff. He was always a weirdo, but they kept stuff hidden until they basically went, nah, it's all right. And then suddenly, overnight, he suddenly, oh no, everyone's talking about it now, even though we knew about it for forever. But the media suddenly went, oh yeah, bang, we'll present it to everyone now, for two reasons. Well, probably more than two reasons, but for two reasons I can think of. One to humiliate America, to demoralize them as a nation, and another to pave the way for Trump. Because everything's scripted and everything's run through PR. So the fact that you know Trump is now openly a lunatic and openly allowed to say all this mad stuff and get into fights with everyone, and no, and no, and no one is going, hang on a minute. Having built his political identity on resisting foreign uh military interventions, Vance warned colleagues that a war with Iran could spiral into catastrophe. Yeah, I mean he didn't shout about it from the rooftops, though, did he, JD Vance? Not really. I mean he said stuff there and he's made the odd comment here and there. But if you had anything about you, you'd literally, anytime you saw a microphone, you'd be in front of it. You'd you'd almost separate yourself from the president. You you'd you'd be trying to warn people saying, look, this is madness. Of course it is madness. But even though he didn't shout it from the rooftops, they're still going to frame him as the reasonable choice now. Well, they are. This article is. You know, one that the MAGA base can get behind. The MAGA base that's that's abandoned Trump. I mean, there's there's a few people clinging on because they still make money off of it, you know, the algorithm-promoted ones that um that spout their nonsense. And the Israel Firsters, they're still on board, of course, because he's doing what Israel wants. But genuine America First, folks, they've abandoned him completely. So now you you frame J.D. Vance as the reasonable choice. One one that MAGA can now get behind, because they're not going to go and vote for a Democrat. So MAGA, which is a large amount of people, can now get behind J.D. Vance because the Trump train is, well, it's in flames, isn't it? He JD Vance cautioned that it risked destabilising the entire region. Obviously, that was the idea, causing massive casualties and fracturing Trump's political base. Yeah, and it has done that, particularly among voters who backed a promise to avoid new wars. That's what got him elected. And of course, JD Vance is he's right in what he's saying there. He's sounding pretty wise to me. This J.D. Vance guy. Sounds like someone I can get behind. I wonder if he's thinking of running. He might be different. I know we thought Trump was different, thought Malay was different, thought Vilders was different. People thought Boris Johnson was different. But this guy, JD Vance, he might be. I think I can make a decent president, that lad. Vance also highlighted practical concerns, including dwindling US munitions, the unpredictability of Iran's response, and the possibility that Tehran could choke off the possibility, could choke off the Strait of Hormuz sending global energy prices soaring. Everyone knew that's what they'd do. It was the most obvious thing to do. Honestly, but Trump did it anyway. Because he's a chaos agent. And because destroying the world, the energy infrastructure which the world is built on, because all business, all food production, everything relies on energy. And that's the whole point. You you it's the cult goal. And you know, Trump, the outsider, seems to always do what the cult wants. He was playsing the hands every single time. It's 5D chess is not going well. But it's, you know, it was the most obvious thing that they'd shut off the strait. That's why, as soon as they reopened it, Israel went and bombed the living daylights out of Lebanon. Because they knew that they'd close it again. And they did. Because you need to destroy the world to build back better. You need to destroy the world to have a great reset, which all these people that pretend to be alternative outsiders are playing towards. And what's amazing, obviously they've closed the strait again now, but when it did reopen, briefly, Trump wanted some kind of credit for it. It was open before you attacked Iran, mate. Like that is the equivalent of chucking a brick through a window and then demanding praise and plaudits and credit and award for getting someone to come and board it up. Shouldn't have thrown the brick in the first place, you idiot. It's mental. But the framing of JD Vance, I went off on one then, the framing of JD Vance as the sensible guy, as the reasonable guy, as the guy that actually cares about America and doesn't want foreign wars and means it is no accident. It's no accident at all. And I was thinking about this, and I not just Iran, but just think about the last year or so. In that American administration, who's come out of that with any credit for anything? Like, generally, you've got the press secretary who, to be fair, like Donald Trump could just serve up a dog poo sandwich and she'd say it was the greatest thing she'd ever eaten. Pam Bondi, I mean, she got fired because haven't her desk was too messy or whatever, full of files and stuff. So she's gone. She's not Heg Seth is is he cray cray. And everyone can see that. You know, Kushner, who voted for Kushner and Witkoff? They've not come out of it with any credit. Trump's not come out of it with any credit for any of it. And you you know, you look at, you know, obviously Vance went up in people's estimations when he had a go at Zelensky. People were on board with that. This little action man figurine coming around and demanding money off everyone, put him in his place. So Vance was elevated from that, and then what? Trump's basically given Ukraine. Thought the war was supposed to be done in 24 hours, wasn't it? He's given Ukraine support, which people didn't agree with. So Vance came out of that well, Trump didn't. Iran, Vance is being framed to be coming out of that well, Trump isn't. The Epstein files. I don't see JD Vance having all these redacted files and photos. I don't see Jeffrey Epstein saying, yeah, man, JD Vance, best friend for like 10 years. Trump, though. And then what about Charlie Kirk? The only person that came out of that with any credit was J.D. Vance. Trump didn't. Erica Kirk didn't, to be fair. His wife, you know, I've said a few times, I don't know what stage of grief the pyrotechnics are supposed to come in, but they came in pretty early. Donald Trump was asked how he was holding up after losing what he'd claimed to be like a son to him, and he went, Yeah, I'm fine. We've got a new ballroom. Maybe that was the first sign of the madness of King Trump. So he didn't come out of that well. J.D. Vance did. J.D. Vance arranged for Charlie Kirk's body to be flown back and did all of this stuff and sorted all the logistics of X, Y, and Z. Vance was the only one that came out of that with any credit. And that's not an accident. You know, because now you've got this as well. Like I said. And yeah, of course, he's licked the wall, you know, Vance has licked the wall. We can't keep that hidden. They all have to do the humiliation submission ritual. You know, you had to do that. But as we move towards the technocracy, which is what they want, and the AI stuff, and the madness of King Trump is becoming more and more obvious, uh, and the framing of J.D. Vance as as some sanity to oppose the madness, uh that's not an accident to me. And another thing, which I think is a red flag, and I always have thought that in politics, is you know who the choice is when there's not an alternative. So in the UK, when Tony Blair was the choice, he was up against William Haig. People the world over, if you don't know who William Haig is, look at William Hague. You don't even need to just look at him. Pick the get the picture where he's laughing with Jimmy Savile. That's a good picture. I like that one of William Haig. So Blair wasn't up against anyone, and then you look at when Starmer came in this time. He was up against Rishi Sunak, who made the announcement for the election, stood out in the rain without an umbrella, getting soaked, looking like a drowned rat intentionally, just looking like a weak leader. All these optics are intentional in the theatre. So Starmer won because he was up against no one, and he won with, I think, one of the lowest voter turnouts and whatever. Look at Trump. Who was Trump up against? Sleepy Joe Biden and uh cackling Kamala Harris, who never answered a question, just laughed like a hyena. He wasn't up against anyone. So now look at the Democrats, who have they got? There's literally no one. So if JD Vance goes, who's he who's he being opposed by? How many people in America? 360, 370 million or whatever? There's no one. That to me is a red flag. Because it shows that, well, yeah, they want that one then. I could be wrong, of course. And I must admit, actually, Trump's um comments about the Pakistan negotiations were interesting. He's talking about going over to uh Pakistan to have these negotiations with Iran. I don't know if that's gonna happen now. Israel's bombing the living daylights out of everything. But he's talking about Gerard Kushner, who no one voted for, his son-in-law and son-like figure to Benjamin Netanyahu. That would be a you know a fair negotiation then. Him and Whitkoff, who's another wool licker, they're they're going, but then he mentioned Vance and he said, well, maybe not JD because of security concerns. So I find that odd. I all I can assume is it's because JD Vance's wife is Indian, and obviously Indian and India and Pakistan aren't exactly the best of mates. That's the only thing I can allude. I think that's easy what he was alluding to, but it seems strange to me. But there you go. Anyway, that's the end of the free section. We'll see what happens, won't we? I might be completely wrong. But um, just I don't know. Just because I've thought it for a while. This framing of JD Vance as the sensible guy. And then to read this article uh yesterday, I thought, hmm, yeah, that's that's what it feels like. Okay, that's the end of the free section on social media. You can head over to Iconic. I will put the URL in the description below, and uh you can continue to watch. More madness, of course, but you know, it's Thursday, innit?

SPEAKER_01 21:43

Don't mention the reptiles, Date. Even less is said about the Grey Pope, which some believe to be the true ruling power in the Vatican.

SPEAKER_00 21:50

Humans missing a macadress.

SPEAKER_01 21:52

All of them had little signals. I've never seen it before. This is The ultimate suicide cult. What if the symbols around us every day aren't just ornamental? We lost a thousand years of history. What if they're instruction?

SPEAKER_00 22:09

That state of awareness is not manipulatable.
