Chamath Says He Now Realizes the ‘Economic Reality in America is Broken’ “This was a complete and total repudiation about the state of the economy. The economy is broken.”

Every time I hear a man talking about Trump “betraying” them I die laughing. Podcasting has turned men into such women.

Of all the dumb talking points I encounter, and I encounter a lot of them, the New Right (Woke Right) talking point that Iran has been "close to a nuclear weapon for 20 years," implying that's a false pretext and Trump lied, is perhaps the dumbest. Just astronomically fake. I can't believe Buck Sexton, ex-CIA genius, trotted it out last night, among so many others. There's no way he's this dumb as an analyst, so he must have other motivations for saying it. Let's explain how stupid it is, though. Iran wants a nuclear weapon because they're a lunatic terrorist-theocratic regime that's also a threat to everyone around them. That means they're trying to build one, and when they encounter setbacks and obstacles, they will keep trying to build one. So, if they wanted one 20 years ago and got close and got set back, say by Israeli or American or other intervention, that would be a setback, not a permanent end to the program. After a period of time, they would regroup and get close to a nuclear weapon again. If that gets stopped again, it starts over again too. This keeps happening until the IRGC is out of power because they can always dig another hole and start again, especially with a little help from their bad-guy friends in Russia, China, and North Korea. So, periodically, as long as the IRGC lasts, it will once again be close to a nuclear weapon and have to be stopped. It got especially close this time significantly because of a little bit of help from another one of their friends: Barack Obama. If this is too abstract and complicated for you, consider an analogy. You really want something, like new shoes or something. You work to get the money to get them, but then when you're close to having enough, something comes up, and you have to spend some of your money. That's a setback, but you keep working because you really want those shoes. Soon, you get close again, but your phone broke, so you have to spend your money to fix it and have to get back to working toward your shoes again later. Each time, you almost have enough money for your shoes. So, you keep almost having your shoes even though you don't have them yet. But you ain't quit, so you'll keep working to get them, and before you know it, you're close again. It works just like that. The IRGC really wants nuclear weapons. Israel and America keep stopping them from getting them, and they face setbacks like having their centrifuges blown up. So they get new centrifuges as soon as they can, put them somewhere new, and get back to it. Before long, they're close again because they want it. Let me try another analogous explanation for the cooked brains out there. Imagine you have an illegal immigrant jihadi cell that wants to do a terrorist attack in New York. They put together a plan, but the cops foil it and arrest some of them. But their parent organization really wants to do it, so they get some more guys and a new plan. The cops foil that too. As long as the parent organization, Muslim Brotherhood or whatever, still operates, the cops keep having to stop imminent terrorist attacks as they find out about them because the organization really wants to do one whether this plan or that plan gets busted or not. See, they got really close to doing a terror attack but faced a setback, so they regrouped and tried again. Then they got set back again, so they regrouped again. It's just like this. Exactly like this. Not at all different than this. I can't believe I have to explain this. I can't believe how fried people's brains are, including smart ex-CIA brains, that they either can't understand this or are willing to pretend they don't understand it for other reasons, publicly, in front of people. President Trump has never once changed his tune on why he struck Iran, either in June of 2025 or in February of 2026, starting the war: "Iran will never have a nuclear weapon." The intelligence suggested that they were getting close to it, along with long-range ballistic missiles. The claim was they were close to final enrichment for enough material for up to eleven warheads, and they might have them within two weeks. Just after Trump struck, they launched some long-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia and proved they had those and that intelligence was correct. For some reason, nobody who is "against the war" is willing to believe that the nuclear material claim, which would arm the missiles, which could hit European capitals, was also true. President Trump has never wavered and is even still doubling down on his reasoning here, which is clear, simple, and to the point. He said it again today, in fact. In all likelihood, it is true, and he did the right thing. That means he did not start the war. Iran did. That means the war was not pointless. It was to prevent the successful completion of nuclear weapons. That means the war that ensued was not pointless either. It is what followed because Iran wasn't happy about it. That means it wasn't Israel's war. It was humanity's war, and America's war too. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. That means Israel didn't drag America into the war. Israel shared intelligence that our own services used and agreed with to inform the strikes. That means the war is America First, if you must use that insufferable, tainted brand to get your brain to do anything. That means the right reaction isn't punishing Trump or adopting more New Right crap. It is to say thank you and to be proud to be an American because your country provided an important service. My frustration with how many people are swallowing this absolutely idiotic New Right, Iranian, Russian propaganda nonsense could not possibly be higher. I cannot believe this has to be explained to people.

The purpose of a Nick Fuentes is transparent when you know what to look for. His job is to isolate, divide, and mislead. He presents as not merely opposed to the LGBT nonsense, but ANTI-GAY. Not just criticizing the excesses of feminism, but provocatively hostile to women. Not merely concerned about certain aspects of Jewish power, but anti-Semitic. Not concerned about various problems in black communities, but anti black. Now, you might bicker on specifics and say he’s not really as bad as I am stating. But the point is he presents as a personae that is perceived as that bad. And that’s by design. He repeats the same pattern on Christianity and Catholicism. Despite his claims, there nothing apparently Christian about the guy. Now what this ends up doing is making all MAGA types seem very unsavory to millions of Americans. True, he’s not MAGA. But he’s been sent in to capture a portion of the MAGA audience and taint them. This leads to his followers being isolated and becoming a divisive force. And then the election comes along and he turns completely and seeks to demoralize as much as possible. So it’s pretty obvious that he’s not our friend. The real question becomes is this: who is he ultimately really serving and why are they opposed to Trump/MAGA?

🚨 UPDATE: The internet has now raised over $328,000 for Walt, the hardworking Red Baron employee who was harassed by a social media prankster while stocking pizzas at a Michigan grocery store. Over 8,800 people have donated, and the fundraiser organizer has confirmed they’ve made contact with Walt and his family. Sometimes the internet really does get it right ❤️🇺🇸

Shut down the country so tens of millions of votes are "mail-in" ballots. Extend elections after Election Day for however long they need to "count" votes. Spend a year pretending to care about the Epstein case so they can put out a smear report about Trump the week before the election. Fly around Alaska searching for another Dan Sullivan to put on the ballot in an effort to confuse voters. Ridiculously argue that requiring ID is too much to ask for when someone goes to vote. Democrat will do anything to win elections except run on good policies that people support.

Just turned mine off...Good grief.

Brazilian markets are in TOTAL FREEFALL after socialist Lula’s victory. Stocks tanking 15%, the currency collapsing, and pure financial panic. This is what happens EVERY single time the radical left takes power: total economic ruin. Socialism destroys everything it touches! 🇧🇷🚨
