Nick Fuentes on Trump’s prime-time speech: “All Trump does is lie. It's by design. This is the function of rhetoric from the White House.”
Fuentes: “We made an attempt to destroy the Iranian regime and we failed. We took a shot and we missed. And what this has allowed Iran to do is seize the Strait Of Hormuz and take a fifth of the world’s energy hostage.”

NICK FUENTES (HOST): So this is a speech and the only pronounced effect of the speech is that actually oil went right back up. And like I said, I think that the financial markets had been successfully comforted and reassured in the past two days. They drank the Kool-Aid like all of you did, I imagine, because that has been -- It's very noticeable. It's very conspicuous that the constant drumbeat from the media for the past 72 hours has all been saying, based on insider information, based on anonymous sources, that Trump is leaning towards ending the war. And that has also been telegraphed by elements inside the administration as well. Like I said, State Department, the press office.
And so I think the stock market bought it. I think they bought it. I think they really believed that this prime-time announcement was going to be that the war is ending post tense. It's going to wind down and we are going to withdraw without achieving our objectives. And on the news that the war is going to continue for at least two to three weeks, that we're gonna bomb them even harder, and Trump says we're gonna wrest control of the Strait or other countries are invited to, investors know that means there's really no plan still and there's no end in sight. So oil prices went right back up after the speech ended.
So what was the purpose of the speech actually? Well, I think, and I said this at the beginning of the show and I've been saying this for the past couple of days, you have to understand that all Trump does is lie. It's by design. This is the function of rhetoric from the White House. This is how Trump sees it from a doctrinal point of view. I don't know actually how to say that. But that's the Trump doctrine, which is you flood the zone, you saturate the information space with disinformation or contradictory information, and the purpose of it is to throw your enemies and even your allies off balance.
So why do they want the public writ large, the whole world, why does the administration want the world to believe that they’re ready to wrap up the fighting even without opening up the Strait Of Hormuz? I think I’m one of the few people that has recognized this. It is because Trump wants other countries to do his dirty work. What is the problem here?
As we’ve talked about, we are stuck. We made an attempt to destroy the Iranian regime and we failed. We took a shot and we missed. And what this has allowed Iran to do is seize the Strait Of Hormuz and take a fifth of the world’s energy hostage. And we have no ability to take it back. Because the regime survived, it is now actually stronger. So it’s not going anywhere. And what's more, Iran prepared for exactly this scenario.
