Sal Assante delivers a no-holds-barred interview-style deep dive into Trump's 2024 campaign promises—where they hit home and where they've crashed. Border security and mass deportations? Major strides with sharp drops in crossings, expanded detention, and National Guard deployments. But the Iran war? A "major failure" costing trillions, spiking fuel prices, and fueling inflation—far from "ending wars." National debt spirals toward crisis, military overspend balloons, Middle East entanglements escalate, and government weaponization/persecution lingers. Plus: Joe Kent's bombshell resignation as counterterrorism chief over the Iran push, highlighting elite pressures and broken anti-war vows. "US war costs exceed $8 trillion"—promises made, but the 'swamp' endures. 🔗 Useful Links:Follow on Substack: https://wethepatriots.substack.com/Watch on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UC0Z_Rt_SiPa_HGuyyNW5fLw/?themeRefresh=1Follow Sal on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/salassante?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==X.com: @Sal_assante4Timestamps:00:00 Intro03:45 Evaluating Trump's Key Campaign Promises20:11 Resignation of Joe Kent and Its Implications31:11 Reflections on Trump's Administration and Future Outlook

The Iran conflict rages into its third week—no end in sight. Sal Assante delivers raw updates: US-Israel strikes hammer Iranian missile sites, nuclear facilities like Natanz, internal security, and Tehran itself, with reports of massive civilian displacement (3.2M+ fleeing), school casualties, and regime resilience under new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei vowing to choke the Strait of Hormuz. Domestically: Skyrocketing fuel prices/inflation crush Americans, government ramps up censorship on war coverage and independent reporting, Epstein files stay buried amid propaganda. Crypto twist—Bitcoin surges ~7% to ~$71K+ as a hedge amid turmoil, defying expectations as gold stalls and stocks dip. "The machine" drives endless war regardless of promises—civilian costs mount, free speech threatened. Mobilize, dissent, stay vocal. 🔗 Useful Links:Follow on Substack: https://wethepatriots.substack.com/Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0Z_Rt_SiPa_HGuyyNW5fLwFollow Sal on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/salassante?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==X.com: @Sal_assante4Timestamps:00:00 Intro

Tensions explode—Sal Assante breaks down the massive U.S.-Israel joint strikes on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, targeting nuclear sites, missile launchers, and leadership in a bold regime change bid after failed nuclear talks. Retaliation rains: Iran hits U.S. bases (3 American troops dead), Israel, and Gulf targets, sparking fears of wider war. Sal dissects media propaganda justifying escalation, Israel's heavy influence on U.S. policy, economic fallout (oil shocks, markets rattled), and echoes of Wesley Clark's "7 countries in 5 years" plan ending with Iran. "Propaganda is used to justify war"—vote out the warmongers before it's World War III rampant again. Geopolitics, military budgets, and hidden strategies exposed. 🔗 Useful Links:Follow on Substack: https://wethepatriots.substack.com/Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wethepatriots/videosFollow Sal on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/salassante?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==X.com: @Sal_assante4Timestamps:00:00 Intro00:55 The Escalation of Conflict: Iran and the U.S.08:07 The Role of Israel in U.S. Foreign Policy15:31 The Consequences of Regime Change in Iran
