BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): We've been having some conversations with some people who can't appear on camera, but I can, and I can tell you what they've told us. I can tell you that America's going to change forever. We are experiencing a hyperloop right now, a time of great extreme acceleration. Some would call it the fourth turning, when things speed up very, very quickly, and years are compounded into days and hours. And empires rise and fall on the switch of a blade, on the turn of the sword, and here we are. Welcome to the fourth turning. Trump says that Cuba will be ours, and then that will happen, like, maybe this weekend, actually. It's remarkable. What exactly is going on here? Russia has entered the war in Iran. We knew that was going to happen, but they were already in the war in Iran.
And I've been briefed by, let's just call it, top-level Pentagon officials about what the endgame is. What's actually happening? What is the Iranian war about exactly? And what happens next? It's remarkable. It's a play that is so bold, so ballsy, so strategic, and so empress in its grandeur, so magisterial, you would say. It's a huge gambit. Is it going to play out? Is it going topay off? Well, these are the worlds of kings, lords and men, and I guess we're gonna find out soon enough. These are the games that we play. It's a wild world that we find ourselves in.
Is Trump reconquering the world? That's what this is all about. It's not about Iran at all. It's nothing to do with Iran. I said Iran's a joke. It has been turned into a joke. Perhaps that's the point. We'll get into it today.
