Fri Episode #2221: Propaganda, Oil Shock, and the Road to War With Iran Mar 13, 2026

Show notes

────────────────────────────────────────
00:02:08:23 — Guest Charles Goyette Joins to Analyze the Iran War Narrative
Author Charles Goyette joins the broadcast to examine the confusion surrounding the Iran conflict. Conflicting statements from governments and media outlets create an environment where propaganda overwhelms reliable information. ────────────────────────────────────────
00:03:24:23 — Founders Designed War Powers to Prevent Executive Adventurism
The Constitution placed the authority to declare war in Congress so that leaders could not launch conflicts on personal impulse. Public debate and political accountability were intended to restrain unnecessary wars. ────────────────────────────────────────
00:21:02:21 — Congress Avoids Responsibility for Authorizing War
Lawmakers decline to hold a vote authorizing the conflict even as military operations continue. Political fear of electoral consequences discourages members of Congress from taking a public position. ────────────────────────────────────────
00:26:57:01 — Foreign Creditors Retreat as U.S. Debt Concerns Grow
Major international lenders reduce holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds as confidence in the dollar weakens. Inflation fears and long-term fiscal instability push foreign governments to diversify reserves. ────────────────────────────────────────
00:30:20:29 — Imperial Overstretch Erodes Economic Strength
Empires often weaken when military expansion drains resources from productive economic activity. Growing defense spending accelerates the erosion of the economic base that originally created national power. ────────────────────────────────────────
00:34:12:13 — Asymmetric Warfare Exposes Weakness of High-Tech Militaries
War simulations demonstrate how decentralized forces using simple tactics can defeat technologically superior opponents. Low-cost communication methods and small mobile units undermine complex military systems. ────────────────────────────────────────
00:41:07:10 — CIA-Backed Coup Installed the Shah and Shaped Iran’s Hostility
The 1953 overthrow of Iran’s elected government installed the Shah and empowered a brutal secret police apparatus. The regime’s repression contributed directly to the revolutionary backlash decades later. ────────────────────────────────────────
01:05:58:17 — Guest Eric Peters Joins to Discuss War Coverage Blackout
Automotive journalist Eric Peters joins the broadcast to discuss the information blackout surrounding the Iran war. Restricted reporting and manipulated narratives make it difficult to determine what events on the battlefield are real. ────────────────────────────────────────
01:06:56:04 — Propaganda and AI Media Obscure Reality of the War
Government messaging, recycled footage, and AI-generated media flood social platforms while authentic reporting is suppressed. The mix of fabricated visuals and censorship makes independent verification of battlefield events nearly impossible. ────────────────────────────────────────
01:07:43:02 — Fuel Price Shock Emerges as Immediate Domestic Impact of War
Gasoline prices jump sharply within days of the conflict escalating, while diesel prices climb even higher. Rising diesel costs threaten to drive up transportation expenses and increase the price of food and consumer goods nationwide. ────────────────────────────────────────
01:21:58:17 — Escalation Risks Nuclear Weapons Use in the Iran Conflict
Continued retaliation and the failure to achieve rapid victory raise fears that nuclear weapons could eventually be considered. Regional escalation threatens to draw additional countries into the conflict. ────────────────────────────────────────
01:33:08:14 — Emergency Powers Create a De Facto “Emergency Branch” of Government
Frequent emergency declarations allow leaders to bypass constitutional processes and govern through extraordinary authority. The pattern is described as creating an unofficial fourth branch capable of ruling by decree. ────────────────────────────────────────

Interview: War in Iran, Propaganda War in the United States Mar 13, 2026

Show notes

Journalist Eric Peters warns that the biggest weapon in the war with Iran may not be missiles—it’s information control. As images flood the media from Tehran while almost nothing emerges from Israel or U.S. bases, Peters argues the public is being fed a carefully managed narrative designed to manufacture support for what he calls an “evil, unnecessary war.”

Interview: How the Constitution Was Bypassed in the Iran War Mar 13, 2026

Show notes

As the drumbeat for war with Iran grows louder, author Charles Goyette (EmpireOfLies.com) joins the program to challenge the narrative coming out of Washington. With military operations expanding while Congress refuses to hold a formal vote to authorize war, the discussion raises a fundamental constitutional question: who actually decides when America goes to war?

────────────────────────────────────────
00:02:10:28 — Federal Officials Accused of Halting Epstein Ranch Investigation
James Comer says the Trump Justice Department asked New Mexico officials to stop their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch after Epstein’s death. The shutdown of the state probe raises questions about federal interference and the broader handling of Epstein-related evidence. ────────────────────────────────────────
00:05:44:10 — Iran Threatens Global Trade by Choking the Strait of Hormuz
Iran signals it could shut down or severely disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global energy and trade flows. Targeting ports, refineries, and shipping routes could cripple global supply chains far beyond the battlefield. ────────────────────────────────────────
00:09:32:12 — UN Resolution Condemns Iran While Ignoring U.S. and Israeli Strikes
More than 80 nations support a UN Security Council resolution condemning Iranian actions against Gulf states while omitting criticism of U.S. or Israeli military operations. The move is portrayed as evidence of geopolitical double standards in international diplomacy. ────────────────────────────────────────
00:13:33:20 — Trump Claims Victory in Iran War While Continuing Military Operations
Trump declares that the United States has already “won” the war with Iran but simultaneously says U.S. forces will remain engaged to finish the mission. The conflicting messaging raises uncertainty about the war’s objectives and timeline. ────────────────────────────────────────
00:15:12:06 — Pentagon Accused of Misjudging Iran’s Decentralized War Strategy
Iran’s “mosaic defense” doctrine—decentralized units designed to survive leadership decapitation strikes—is highlighted as a strategy U.S. planners allegedly underestimated. The discussion frames this as a major strategic blind spot in the war’s early planning. ────────────────────────────────────────
00:18:51:28 — Pentagon Seeks Expanded Domestic Surveillance Powers
The Defense Department reportedly pushes to remove restrictions limiting domestic surveillance, citing supply-chain security concerns. Critics warn the move would extend military monitoring powers into domestic affairs. ────────────────────────────────────────
00:20:47:02 — Pentagon Tightens Control Over Media Coverage of the War
Major media outlets lose Pentagon access after refusing to sign agreements restricting communication with sources. The policy leaves official Defense Department photographers and selected figures as the primary sources of wartime imagery. ────────────────────────────────────────
00:40:35:02 — War in the Persian Gulf Sends Gold and Oil Prices Surging
Financial analysts warn that disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz are pushing oil and gold prices sharply higher. The situation is compared to the 1970s oil crisis and raises fears of global economic instability. ────────────────────────────────────────
00:55:37:02 — War and Energy Shock Could Accelerate Collapse of Dollar Dominance
Analysts argue that rising oil prices, debt pressures, and central bank accumulation of gold could accelerate global de-dollarization. The conflict with Iran is framed as a catalyst for major changes in the global monetary system. ────────────────────────────────────────
01:07:40:13 — Major Private Equity Firms Restrict Withdrawals Amid Liquidity Stress
BlackRock, Blackstone, and other firms reportedly halt outflows from certain private equity funds. The move signals potential financial stress tied to commercial real estate and tightening credit markets. ────────────────────────────────────────
01:24:28:22 — Reports Claim Lindsey Graham Encouraged Netanyahu to Push Trump Toward War
According to reports, Senator Lindsey Graham traveled repeatedly to Israel and advised Netanyahu on persuading Trump to support military action against Iran. The claim suggests outside political lobbying contributed to escalation. ────────────────────────────────────────
01:43:29:16 — Oil Supply Shock Could Trigger Global Inflation Crisis
Analysts warn that prolonged disruption in the Strait of Hormuz could drive hoarding, supply shortages, and rapidly rising energy prices. The scenario resembles historic oil embargoes that triggered worldwide inflation and economic turmoil. ────────────────────────────────────────

Interview: War, Gold, and the Financial System’s Breaking Point Mar 12, 2026

Show notes

Tony Arterburn warns that the war with Iran is accelerating a monetary and energy crisis that central banks and media spin can no longer contain. He breaks down how gold and oil spiked on the first shock, why market pullbacks look more like manipulation than stability, and how private credit, commercial real estate, and de-dollarization are all converging into a much bigger breakdown.

────────────────────────────────────────

────────────────────────────────────────
01:20:05:04 — Civilian Deaths in Iran School Strike Spark Outrage
