They're all back down to a
I stole an F-16
Jet bridge deep with a rumble and spark
I stole an F-16
Unlock the gate and push it free
I stole an F-16
The bird comes alive with a roar
Uncle Lee, I stole an F-16
Turn the entry hard power on bike
I stole an F-16
Horizon's intern, the life's heterosaid
I stole an F-16
I still have 60
Oh, watch the videos and the meals
For the time I still have 60
Only till 20th of the day
It's time I still have 60

Should you turn your hand
In the deep rest of the day
Must you turn it down
Roll it roll it up
You can sweep it up
Turn it in and in the game
Must you turn it down
What's going on everybody?
I hope everyone's having a fantastic evening afternoon, no matter where you are in the
world, I'm a son, Piker and this does and I broadcast coming to you live from sunny
California, Los Angeles. We're live. We're alive. And I hope all the boys, girls and
MBS are having a fantastic one because today's a beautiful day. The day's a wonderful day.
I'm sure it's already glitching. I'm sure it's already messed up. The internet is messed
up. I know, but we're still doing it live and alive. Ladies and gentlemen, you
already know what it is. We're live. We're alive. And I hope all the boys,
girls and MBS are having a fantastic one because today's beautiful day. Today's
a wonderful day today is a spectacular day. It's a special day. You already know what time
it is. It's a very special one of the week. Every week, it is Friday. Ladies and gentlemen,
that's right. And here on the broadcast, we celebrate the Friday when we can, because
right now we can't do shit because it's not fucking, it's not playing the video.
not I don't even know what's going on with my internet at this point like the
upload is fine but the download is gone now I can't begin to explain to you how
much I fucking hate my ISP and I want to change it oh my god it's Friday
this Saturday Sunday well regardless of the back regardless of the role in
black house on my internet we're gonna be talking to someone from Cuba later
who will probably have better internet than me let's be real in spite of the
American blockade because America treats its own domestic cattle class the same
conditions as they subject the other everyone on the world to not the same
exact conditions of course but we're just fucking disgusting country I swear to
fucking god we're a disgusting country that is allowed capital owners to do
literally whatever they want to and absolutely destroy material conditions
here on the home front and let me tell you Americans will never rise up
America will never take over and take the reins of controlled slave masters because the average American quality is one cat one of us.
That's right.
And I'm of course included in this as well.
God damn it, the internet is already fucking broken.
It is so bad.
God, I fucking hate it.
I- I don't know.
I just- I-
I don't know what else to say other than the fact that if there was, if there was real justice,
the things that we would do to executives over at ISPs, the thing we would be allowed to
do, I want to build the Red Guard specifically so that we can punish big executives at ISPs.
That's what I want.
I want Maoism not for the landlords, but the landlords of the internet.
Okay?
Okay. Well, maybe for the landlords too, it is disgusting. It's unacceptable. And there's
not really much else to say about it is there. You already know how bad it is. And before
people fucking charp at me. I've had a technician here every single day. I have the highest availability
for internet here. I have literally the, the, I'm doing everything I possibly can. I'm doing
everything I possibly can. And we're not there yet. So new as a recline take.
I
Kids maybe it'll download. Maybe maybe I'll be able to see it
I'm
Okay, if you try moving to Korea, they have really good internet there
I mean they also have real democracy or the democratic process there and they they have a thing called accountability there
We don't have that either
Is so surreal to me you can't change your ISP law
They live in one of the poorest countries in the world and all it takes is one phone call to change your eyes feel
So the fact that you have mobile carrier contracts is crazy, too
dude
dude
I
I'm scooked. I mean there's not really you can do
There's not really anything I can do beyond what I've done so far, it's really devastating
It's really sad and people don't know how bad it is and people don't understand.
Like there is literally not anything else I can do.
I'm trying.
I guess the one thing I could do is move.
We could move.
I could just move from my home.
Anyway. Yeah, does Starlink not work? No, nothing is working. You sign the
Fulfill the Promise to move to New York City. Starlink also doesn't work when it's raining.
And these issues started with the rain. You're being emo about it? I am being emo about
it. Um, move to the Bay Area or internet is immaculate. Yeah. Like I, when I, when I
inevitably do move out of this home, I will make sure that I live in a fiber home. I just,
I will never, I will never make the mistake of not living in a fiber home ever again.
For sure. Anyway, personal news wise is Friday is the 20th of February, 2026. Sorry
to start off on the bad vibes. We're going to actually move from the bad vibes to the
good vibes. We're going to pick up the vibes real quick right now. Hey, what's going on,
everybody? I was having a fantastic time before I went life. I'm not even kidding. And it's
not even chat this time around. And the immaculate vibes, we're going to bring him back. It's
going to happen. The immaculate vibes are going to be back. Let me just conjure
up. Let me just conjure up all the power I have inside of me to make sure that
We we swap the vibes around real quick. How can how can we do that if only there was?
If only there was some kind of of heavenly
joyous sound
There it is
That's right. Oh, fuck. That makes me feel good every time. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
ladies and gentlemen, it's big housey in the morning, housey baby in the morning on
Friday and the vibes are immaculate regardless of the horrifying nature of oligopolies under
liberal capitalist democracy where they only give you the fallacy of choice
meanwhile there are massive multinational conglomerates that own
marketplaces and dominate you and offer you worse and worse service every year
while they rise up the prizes so those in the ivory towers that control the
productive forces at the behest of capital for the almighty dollar and
profit can give you less and demand more. That's right. It is pertinent upon the working
class to seize the means of production at the Hossie baby hour. Seize the means of production.
Okay. Um, respectfully is my least favorite. This is my least. Oh, you don't like the
wacky morning DJ guy. What about this? I'm gay and Lebanese. Anyway, radio voices, the
real voice. Yeah, that's what I sound like normally. Yeah. Personal, personal news wise,
ladies and gentlemen, there's not really much going on in my life. I mean, I, I, oh,
There is something I got to say. Game of Thrones, the new Game of Thrones show. Oh my god. Dude?
Dude. It is, I'm not going to give you spoilers. I'm just going to say it's fucking peak. Okay?
It is Kino, it's incredible, it is fire, like no ad here, no hashtag ad whatsoever, shit
is mid dude, this is the official final trailer from 2 months ago.
The app, the last, here that's all I'm gonna show you, but the last episode is the highest
rated Game of Thrones episode in the entire franchise, right? And that's why I dove into
it. Cause I was like, what is this about? Like it's so good. Like what are they doing
here? And, and I understand why that last episode was, was so highly ranked, so highly
rated cause it is spectacular. No spoiler Reno. Okay. No spoiler Rinos for any of
you, but all I'm saying is it's got it. Okay. It's fucking awesome. I was anxious as fuck.
Yeah. My heart was thumping the entire time. It is fantastic. It's incredible. Main character
is a guy who's also taller than everybody else. I looked up his height. He actually
height mobs me. He's six five. I'm six four as you guys know, but like it is, yeah, I've
heard dunk is just Henry from KCD. He is, if you liked kingdom come deliverance, which
was peak, which was a masterpiece kingdom come deliverance to, and you liked the character
Henry of Scaliga, okay?
If you are a fan of Henry, Dunk is literally Henry, okay?
He can fucking eat it.
He is incredible.
I hate that it's only six episodes.
Wait, what?
It's a prequel to the Game of Thrones show like years before the regular Game of Thrones.
And it puts you in the main protagonist, the main character is a man who is a hedge knight,
like a shitty knight that is not like of high, he doesn't have like, he's not like a fucking
very famous knight at all, a knight of disrepute, I guess, he's not a landed knight, he's
just a hedge night as in he sleeps on the hedges and he's, he's a vagabond. He is nighted under
mysterious circumstances by his hedge night that he was squiring for and he's a broke boy.
He's a lowborn and he, he basically, he's like a, he's like a hired hand pretty much as a hired
And and he tries to enter this tourney
With another person who is his squire and his this little kid his name is his name is egg and
It's awesome. It's so fucking good. It's irreverent. It's not serious like the Game of Thrones show it
So if you're expecting that
Spoilers no none of that is a spoiler. This is all first episode shit
Um
Not saying it's bad just saying what it is
Bro, it's just nice tail with Heath Ledger with GOT aesthetics a little bit new Batman 2 come on. I fucking love it. I
Loved it. I enjoy it. It was great, especially the last episode was like fucking
Insane dude, but yeah, this is so Duncan the tall or also known as dunk and
All the other characters are fantastic, too
Um, apparently the finale is Sunday, so it's only six episodes, which makes me very sad,
but, uh, it's incredible.
But if your expectation is, if your expectation is that it's going to be like serious, well,
then this is not the show for you.
It's not serious at all.
It's actually very unserious.
It's very irreverent.
It takes itself not super seriously.
Production is great.
are great the gore is great the drama is great it's I can't recommend it enough also so that's
what I that's what I watched I watched fifth episode finally it was fucking excellent and
we love our fruity king Lionel Baratheon yeah all the all the
it's great it's a rags the riches story you know it's a it's a it's a come up story for for dunk
Um, finally, like, the other reason why I liked it is because like, finally, there's something for us, Tals, right?
Because
normally, uh,
We don't really get a lot of coverage. Like we're we're always like we're never main characters always a bridesmaid never the bride
right
Let's be real is true
Talls are always like a secondary character and the only reason why they are relevant in a story is because of how fucking tall they are.
Everyone's like, oh, look at this brute, right?
Normally, talls are never the main character. Think about that. Think about that.
There is not a single, there is not a single character that is ever like perceived as like, taller than everybody else.
else like Superman is straight up like an average height like presented as like a towering figure
but like his average height he's like towering because he's uh he's a godlike figure right
tall the range Mr. Drum all I'm saying is there's a lot of tall erasure
There's a lot of tall erasure in mainstream media.
Now we can't talk about it because the reverse tallism that is basically led to the taller
cost if we're being real.
Like I'm just coming out and saying it.
I'm an advocate.
Okay?
Like reverse tallism and tall erasure in movies and in cinema and in books is a very real
part of the existence of talls where you as a tall are always told like you're not you're you can only
be like you can only be like a secondary character in a movie right like you can only be like a brood
that people only look to you as like you know like a barbarian class guy that's all it is right
and and honestly i'm glad i'm really really glad that this is doing a lot for tall representation
And even though Sir Duncan the Tall is kind of a brood as well, it's just, it's fucked
up.
As the Ayatollah, I issued a Fahdwa on A Night of the Seven Kingdoms.
I like it.
The Fahdwa is, everyone must watch it, okay?
shorts and towels you can all enjoy it and hopefully for all of those who are like you
know short people who are like six two and below they can enjoy it and understand what
it's like to be above six foot two and all of the all the trials and tribulations
go into being six with four. You're right. You're totally right. I respect for you speaking
out for us lesser privileged halls. All we get are women's swooning and men's respect.
No representation is main characters. Yes. Yes. I'm saying it. I'm finally saying it.
You know, it's important for talls to get represented as main characters in movies
as well. It's not enough that we get all of the advantages in the real world. We also must
get proper representation of said advantages in the fantasy universe as well.
Yeah, lobster too buttery, steak too juicy. I'm out here saying what must be said. Tall
lives matter. Okay.
mentioned in Maine got GOT plus dunk edits
See, when I heard that, if I was a kid, and I saw Lionel Baratheon tell a tall, main character,
be brave, be tall, I would know also not to scrunch up all the time, okay?
like the reality is like this is these are some of these are some of the aspects of being
called that people simply do not comprehend they cannot comprehend like I need to hear
a wise somewhat, uh, you know, eccentric, possibly gay, very fruity, uh, King style individual
to tell me like, don't be ashamed of your height, check your posture, stand tall, stand
brave, like, because my whole life I've thought it's embarrassing. It's embarrassing. And
So I'm glad that there is like a representation and someone that's brave enough to also stand
up for tall people. I'll just say it. I'll say it finally. Um, too many short people in movies.
You know what? Fuck it. I'm saying I hope it raining more in LA. This guy got so mad that
he couldn't even type with proper gravaries. I hope it raining more in LA.
a literal height slop.
As the biggest dude in school, I got picked on for it.
If I could actually stand up straight, I probably would have, I probably would have been fine.
That's what I mean.
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows the plight.
Nobody knows the plight.
I'm glad that someone understands it now.
Okay. We're doing away with the Tom Cruises that have dominated Hollywood for far too long.
It's more Jacob Elordes. Okay. We need more lanky, tall guys, more buff guys. We need
more Jacob Elordes out here and we need more Sir Duncan The Tall too. Like think
Think about it. Think about it. Okay. So Duncan the tall main character. Okay. Jacob Elordi.
What is his role? Frankenstein's monster. Sure. Women have like a beast fetish apparently
and they find that to be hot. They're like, Oh my God, Frankenstein's monster. Please
blow my back walls out with, uh, with, with your weirdly disfigured penis. But like
that's again not the main character you're in in many ways like you are a
freak show a curiosity
something that uh... will be forgotten
something to be fascinated with but never
something you can identify with right
until now
This whole discussion made me realize 9-Eleven hit the wrong tower.
Anyway, now that I got my truth out there, and I hope people understand like where I'm coming from,
and if you don't, then, you know, sorry, it's just we, this is yet another indication that we're not,
we're not putting out enough representational material for the TALLs.
Clearly
Clearly like if you don't understand what I'm saying like obviously that means that the tall representation which matters quite a bit
has not
Has not been as as a salient as I would like for it to be but
Today we got a big broadcast as always
ways we're talking about Iran, are we striking Iran or not? Or is Donald Trump going to strike
Scotus instead of Iran?
So all people are truly the most oppressed race? Yes. I'm glad that people understand
it.
Talkings will never know the feeling of looking up to mommy. See, don't bring this
stuff up. You know, it hurts my, hurts my feelings. Um, Brandon is six, six and says
he would be 10 feet tall. If he could be, he's fucking insane. I'm six, one and you
talls are ridiculous and just big for no reason. That's crazy that you're, see, this
is, this is yet another clear cut example. Someone who's six foot one who objectively
would be considered tall by average society, by regular society hiding amongst the, among
the masses in an effort to be like, I'm just like you. Do you see what I mean? This is,
this is a very real pain that we tall's experienced. The pain of being tall, the pain of having
your joints hurt. Okay. Constantly slouching, getting scoliosis. Nobody understands.
just was to be average. You said six to an under earlier. Yeah, the reason why I did that
is to protect my tall brethren to get as many to get as many on the side of the the shorts
as possible, so they are sheltered from, like I said, the Tala cost, which is coming any
day. Being normal is not a virtue, it rather denotes a lack of courage. The Smolitariet.
Oh my God. What, what is this? What is this? Osama bin Laden, Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Jeffrey
Epstein, all tall. Okay. I think some of those guys, I think you're just like broadly categorizing
every villain as tall. It seems Osama bin Laden was tall. Elon Musk is not that tall. Donald
Trump is lying about his height and wears elevator shoes to be tall. See, there's
a lot of people who are height fishing. And I think they do it specifically so that they
cast this negative association with the talls, right?
Like Donald Trump is probably like five, six, five, seven, but he wears, like he has like
all these heel elevation, all the shit. And he's doing it, he's doing it to make
sure that people understand that like only evil people are tall. The tall
people are evil. Anyway, do we have a do we have a blast-off meme?
All your political idols are short is true.
It's true.
For Friday Funday, should we watch the Ice and Speed Hockey Vid?
Probably not.
By the way, Baby Keem dropped a new album in his heat.
Yeah.
doing anti-vaxxer memes in 2026, which is pretty crazy.
Gavin Newsom's team hates you.
Yeah, no, no, I saw.
All your political leaders are tall and or bald.
Do we have a blast on me or not, Chad?
Okay, we'll do the Elbron one. Fuck it. Why not?
All right. Where's the half from? I think it's called like a modern bitter one or something.
Anyway, um, new wow, Mao edit. Wow. Wow. New, new wow, Mao. Wow. Fucking. He's out here.
He's doing it.
I was an obvious a hat guy sometimes. I also have like a crazy. I don't even know what
it is. It's not like even a zit. It's next to the permanent zit that I have, but it's
not even like a zit or maybe it is and it hasn't like developed yet, but it's like super
red. I think I got like bit or something. It's under the skin. Can you go to the derm?
I know I don't have a time, but yeah, I'm very, very self-conscious about it.
May need to take that beast of the dermatologist.
I know it could be a spider egg.
I think.
I don't know.
Stop quarters all maxing.
The Macy's been a drama slop Twitter guy now stinks.
Okay, don't fucking ever disparage the Macias.
Probably an ingrown hair.
Got to use BHA to clear the dead skin.
I don't know what it is, but I do need to go to a dermatologist.
The Sompiker soundboard haters experience, I personally love it.
Be careful. You don't be grateful. You don't have odc picking ocd peaking disorder. You think I don't pick. Are you kidding me?
Are you insane? Do you know how hard I pick at everything? You that's the one thing I do have
Anyway, let's see what this Alex Jones new Alex Jones. Wow, my edit looks like
Patriot, Patriot, Patriot, Vampire, Nationalist, Mental Retard, Eugenicist, Scared Man, Really,
Retard, Trader, Vampire, Vampire, Next Level, Moses, Patriot, Patriot, Patriot, Vampire.
God, he's so good. I don't know how he does it. Not. Wow. Mal. I'm talking about Alex Jones.
He's just so funny. You can make the funniest edits of him. Yeah. This is easy guard down.
Director communication was CA governor Gavin Newsom. Laura Loomer once called me as an
F slur tweets and bad opinions. Mine Bernie mox Hasan on his own stream. He hit the
double S2. Now we know why Gavin Newsom is not coming on the broadcast anytime soon. Anyway,
potentially a big story. Georgia State Election Board letter, Reprimand America pack prefilled
apps and tbala applications? Maybe. Um,
it's really so it kills 19 year old passing the American. Yeah, we got that too.
That guy reposed DDG. Ew.
I mean, whatever.
address the squirrel replies no no like I think I'm duking it out on with people on Twitter
enough as it is with liberals enough as it is you want me to you want me to fucking
do it out with Twitter squirrel too like no I want to hold together as large as large
attempt as possible in an effort to make sure your bump isn't staff what okay calm down
bro only this chat could be like it's a staff infection only only this chat would be like oh
you have a most likely assist or some sort of like acne you're gonna die i don't even want to know
what squirrel is um it's just a twitter post they're they're fine they're like super pro palestine
And as a my, but they're, they're one of the people that it will be like, if, if you even interact with someone like Bernie Sanders, you're an enemy of, of Palestinians and you should be fucking put in a tribuchery.
And, and it's similar to bad empanada style commentary.
They get a little heated and it's understandable because the issue itself is like a very, the issue itself is a very serious issue, but yeah, I mean it is what it is.
You just got to, you just, you just have to deal with it. Okay. Obviously, one of the main stories
it says gave me the Supreme Court decisions that just took place. Let's go to struck down Donald
Trump's tariffs regime as unconstitutional. And this has been a very interesting morning for
Donald Trump, who believes that nothing he does could ever be considered unconstitutional.
Rather have ultras, the Ankenis left and right. That's how I see it. That's how I see it.
I don't see people to my left as my enemy. So I just tried to not talk about them to
the best of my ability. I don't want to be seemingly left punching, right? And especially
because like I think, I think like, um, ultras and people of that sort, uh, have the capacity
to pull people, uh, more and more to the left, or even make people like myself look more
reasonable in comparison as well. Those are liberals not leftists? No, no. Squirrel is
definitely a leftist. And even like bad empanada, they're bad empanadas like an ultra, I mean
he's just an insane person unfortunately, but that's it.
Can you at least stop defending people who purposely lie about you and can't give
you Charitability a gift to the likes of Assad? No, I can't stop offering people
Charitability because no matter what happens there's always going to be
people like that and everyone is gonna do that to me and I just have to deal
with it.
I just have to live in that world.
It is the world I live in.
All right, we're going to start out with Donald Trump reacting to the Supreme Court
decision on tariffs.
Obviously, that's the biggest story of the day.
SMP 500 jumps after Supreme Court knocks down Trump's emergency tariffs.
Everyone is, everyone is, is, is joyous.
Everyone is, is celebrating stocks gained on Friday after Supreme Court ruled against
President Donald Trump's tariffs, potentially providing relief for companies burdened by
higher cost from the duties and easing concern about sticky inflation is still plaguing
the US economy.
Now for me, I find that a little bit dangerous and I'll tell you exactly why.
Because technically tariffs are just additional taxes and the Supreme Court striking down
tariffs is unconstitutional, no matter which way it goes, is still frustrating to me.
Like, I want to live in a world where if the President wants to increase taxes, the Supreme
Court doesn't have the power to strike it down.
So I'm in this unique predicament where I'm in this unique place I feel like, where
on the one hand I think like Donald Trump wielding the tariffs in the way that he
was, was idiotic and virtually indecipherable. But also at the same time, I don't want the
Supreme Court to just like, like in a future, let's say in a future presidency, like I
don't like that the Supreme Court can just be like, no, we are protecting capital and
you're not going to be allowed to do that. Like what if there was a, what if there
There were massive, massive taxes on the ultra-wealthy or on corporations or whatever.
And the Supreme Court was like a Bernie-style president or like a socialist president decided
to do this and implemented it and did it in a similar way to Donald Trump using like
the executive office, greatly expanding on the powers of the executive office.
And then the Supreme Court comes in and is like, no, you can't do that.
I don't really like that.
But in this case, Donald Trump's tariffs regime has been inconsistent, idiotic, and it's
understandable why the Supreme Court would strike it down.
And it's also understandable why the government is, or not the government, but the markets
are responding positively to it.
Donald Trump basically said, the terrorist decision is an outrage that weakens our economy.
Also the decision to let me charge more terrorists than I did before.
But also it's terrible and the justices are ruled against me are disloyal.
But also they made me stronger.
Given the terror ruling, I'm not sure the Supreme Court would agree with the president's
view of his ability to determine who is invited to the House chamber.
Having said that, let's take a look.
The Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing.
And I'm ashamed of certain members of the court absolutely ashamed for not having the
courage to do what's right for our country.
I'd like to thank and congratulate Justices Thomas, Alito and Kavanaugh.
Yeah, the real guy who's going to make out like a fucking band here is Trump's Commerce
secretary, uh, or not Trump's commerce secretary, sorry, um, a subsidiary of Canterfish Gerald,
which was run by the sons of the U S commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick is letting clients
essentially bed to the president of Donald Trump's tears will be struck down in court.
This has been an ongoing situation. Um, and, uh, yeah, so Howard Lutnick is, uh, you
know, heads I went tails you lose style situation here and his family is going to
make INCREDIBLE amounts of money because they bought the rights for the tariff refunds, making
a gamble that Donald Trump's like inconsistent tariffs regime was inevitably going to be
struck down by SCOTUS.
It's so fucking gross.
For their strength and wisdom and love of our country, which is right now very proud
of those justices.
When you read the dissenting opinions, there's no way that anyone can argue against them.
There's no way.
Foreign countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic.
They're so happy.
And they're dancing in the streets, but they won't be dancing for long, that I can
assure you.
So Demi-
Okay.
There's one guy dancing in the aftermath of this, who also made out like a bandit after
9-11.
His name is Howard Nutlick, okay?
Howard Nutlick was a 9-11 profiteer, and he is seemingly profiting from the international
trade 9-11 that Donald Trump implemented as well.
It is mind-boggling how much this guy, no matter who's fucking, no matter what kind of catastrophe
he's taking place, he is always there at the seat of the crime making money.
Remarkable.
Crats on the court are thrilled, but they will automatically vote no.
They're an automatic now, just like in Congress, they're an automatic no.
against anything that makes America strong, healthy, and great again. They also are a frankly
disgrace to our nation, those justices. They're an automatic known no matter how good a case
you have. It's a no. You can't knock their loyalty. It's one thing you can do with some
of power people. Others think they're being politically correct, which has happened before
far too often with certain members of this court. And it's happened so often with this
court, what a shame, having to do with voting in particular. When in fact they're just
being fools and lap dogs for the rhinos and the radical left Democrats and not
That they should have anything at all to do with it. Okay. Did they make it
dark on purpose in the fucking White House press room?
Like the vibes are abysmal, dude. The vibes are ominous. They're abysmal. It's like there is a
there's a state of mourning in the White House. He got that by lighting. No, it's not even like,
It's not even by visibility hour over here. It's like weirdly dark
That the very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution Chinese factories are shut down because of the New Year US companies want them to open up quickly to Russian product. Oh
my god
Yeah, and then the fucking
Swell the the swelling of commerce that will come of this in the interim Donald Trump will literally turn around and go
I did that ah
It's so fucking annoying
Just wait
Once there's this big fucking rush. He's gonna turn around and be like remember when I did that. It's like bitch. You broke it
You broke it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it so much
God it's so fucking frustrating
Also, if you think that this will lower prices, I don't think it will for the record because
as we've seen over and over again, the major reason as to why prices are always high and
stay high and don't actually respond to regular market conditions as they did in the
past is because of tremendous corporate consolidation that allows companies to basically
control these markets through price leadership. And, and therefore I don't think that we will
see it like we didn't see it post COVID is greed flation.
I know people say that's like pop economics. You're not real. What's his face? Paul Krugman
was a big anti greed flation advocate for the longest time. And then he also succumbed
to a greed flation and corporate consolidation as being a primary driver of inflation in this
country. Later, you know, he's woke now. We won one. You know, we got one of those guys
on our side finally. Give it more time. Maybe he'll be, these, Paul Krugman is a dumbass
about that issue. It literally makes sense once you look into it. No, he, Paul Krugman
is like one of these guys that I'm explaining was a big like anti greed flation guy. He was
like, oh, corporate consolidation is not the major driver of inflation. You're crazy. And
and then a couple of years after, even with the, even with the, the, the, uh, even with
that the monetary policy trying to make sense of it all, it turned into, even with monetary
policy trying to make sense of it all, it turned into the situation where, it turned into the
situation where like it was undeniable that there were other factors at play. Sorry,
I'm getting text messages from my friend saying, don't, don't fight with, uh, uh,
Kamiah Cabello
Because I said I tweeted gross when I saw this Kamiah Cabello raised awareness for the living conditions in Cuba
He's been six seven years of a failing dictatorship in an oppressive regime the Cuban people are suffering in an echo chamber
Where no one can hear them because to speak is the risk of your life
Many people are starving looking for food and trash heaps and then the only way to survive is having relative shift
You box the medicine because not even the hospitals have medicine
Yeah, that's the reason why the Cuban population is starving
What a fucking spectacularly awful. What a what an insane statement, dude. What a fucking
insane thing to say. I just I can't stand people that say stuff like this. What is like very
clearly, very clearly defending America's unimaginable and unyielding cruelty.
She was in fifth harmony and got exposed for being racist towards her co-member of black
woman Normani.
She was also found to have said the N word and had to go on an apology tour.
So this adds up for her.
I mean, I don't know.
I don't know anything about her.
But this is like, when I read something like that, when I read a press briefing from
Marco Rubio coming out of Camila Cabello's Instagram account, I'm like, the fuck is
this shit?
hashtag SOS Cuba. Anyway, I will be, I got banned for saying that Cuban-Americans will
not care at all as they see Cuba be routed by the USA. They're all brain routed to
the mags. I just don't get it. I don't understand. I truly, truly, truly do not fucking understand
how you can have immediate relatives still living on the island and the country that
you now reside in is like directly starving them. And you're like, yeah, it's because
of the fucking communism dictatorship like what the fuck dude what the fuck it is so it
is nastiness it's a nasty business dude I don't understand how you get that level of brainwashing
like you can fucking tell me all day every day like oh well it's the communists is the
communist stupid you don't understand you will never you will never get me to agree
to borrow the Kamiya stands are gonna come for you.
I don't give a shit.
They can call me fucking racist all day every day.
I'm going to fucking Cuba.
So also speaking of Cuba, I will be talking to belly of the beast today.
A reporter from belly of the beast today that is directly tuning in from Havana.
To talk about the conditions there.
The Cuban lobby made them right wing please not enough people talk about it
Yeah, the Cuban lobby is fucking nutty. We will be talking about that as well
Unfortunately that chatter is correct my brain broken Cuban conservative grandparents not live in North Carolina
Have told me nothing but lies about cash on the revolution growing up
Yeah, it's similar to the brainwashing that happens in the Jewish-American community related
to Israel.
Cuban-Americans have been brainwashed by Cuba for decades.
Yes, I will say this though.
If we can put, can you explain why you hate or take what parts you take offense to?
What do you mean all the parts?
There is one primary driver of pain and torment for the Cubans that live in Cuba, and that
is the United States of America.
Anyone that takes the responsibility away from the completely unjust, completely inhumane
blockade that has been implemented for decades, for 67 fucking years, and says that like
the real reason why it's a failure is because of communism, it's because of the regime,
because of the dictatorship, is a delusional monster.
And the only way that you can, the only way, it's victim blaming through and through,
but the only way that you can have that thought is if you live in the fucking bosom of luxury in the United States of America,
and you've actually never experienced any of the downsides of being in the crosshairs of the United States of America,
and therefore you have no capacity to understand what it's like when America decides that you're a fucking foreign adversary.
Okay?
We're starving Cuba and then acting as though and then there's people that are saying like
while we are starving Cuba, our government is directly starving Cuba, there are still
people who will say, oh, it's the regime, it's the communism, it's the dictatorship.
Get out of here, dude.
Get out of here.
country that is in the periphery that thrives, thrives against all odds, okay?
There is so much going on here at home and so much I can say about the heartbreaking things in
the immigrant communities experiencing here in the US. I also feel a personal responsibility to speak
about what's happening in Cuba. I still have a family on the island that we speak to and send
medicine flu and cold as to. It's been 67 years of a failing dictatorship in an
oppressive regime. The Cuban people are suffering in an echo chamber where no one can hear them
Because to speak is the risk of your life.
Many people are starving, looking for food and trash heaps, and the only way to survive is
having a relationship with a box of medicine, because not even the hospitals have medicine.
I wonder why the hospitals don't have fucking medicine in Cuba. It must be because of the
communism. Like, do you understand what I'm saying? Do you understand what I'm saying?
Do you know how fucking stupid that statement is? We are literally starving them.
them. The entire planet that is terrified of coming out against the United States of America
has said time and time again over the past 67 years, please end the blockade. This is
completely unjustifiable. Please release the Cuban population, free them, allow them
to fucking exist normally. Allow them to engage in commerce, allow them to actually
grow their country. And America has said, fuck no. Time and time again, people have voted
for the blockade to end. And America has decided that no, we will not do that. We will not
allow that to happen. Yeah, exactly. It's unacceptable. The power has gone for so long
that food spoils and water becomes scarce. When people have been peacefully protested
and disappeared or put behind bars, someone's young is 13 years old is the reality where
a post online costs you your life. The Cuban people have lived without dignity and hope
for so long. It's no wonder so many Cubans have thrown themselves in the shark infested
waters, making boats out of tires and sticks and risking their lives for freedom, they are
now in the midst of a profound humanitarian crisis. I wonder why. I wonder why. I guess
it's they just hit the communism button too hard recently. Is that what happened? They
were like, we're going to do even more communism because communism means starvation. Like you
are medically stupid if this is your take. It's disgusting. It's extra disgusting when
you're parroting this imperialist propaganda at a time of crisis when your fucking family
members are directly being starved by the American government. Wake the fuck up, dude.
Jesus Christ. And this has not even anything to do for the record. This doesn't have
anything to do with like ideological commitments to communism or anything this is just like
this is this is not this similar to what's going on in Gaza in many respects there's an ideological
slant associated with it from why the American government justifies the this kind of brutality
and gets away with it in some respects but ultimately it's it's a it's a matter of right
and wrong. Is it appropriate the genocide and starve and siege the Ghazan population,
the Palestinians? No, it's not, right? Same question. It can be directed at the United
States of America. Is it appropriate and right for the American government to offer
multiple, uh, uh, offer siege warfare to the Cuban population for, for almost seven
decades at this point. No, it's not. It's fucking ridiculous.
You guys are hating on her for helping. It's insane. Helping what? Where did she take that
away from the blockade? Are you fucking stupid? I mean, yes, you are. I'm sorry. You're
a stupid stan if you literally look to that statement and assume that it's not directly
claiming that the fucking government is responsible for the American blockade.
It's victim blaming.
What the fuck are you talking about?
It's 100% victim blaming.
Get the fuck out of here.
She's like, as a Cuban, I'm telling you.
is like, as a Cuban, I'm telling you it's not the American blockade. It's the fucking,
it's the Cuban government. At a time when the American government is like added on
additional cruelty, additional cruel measures. Her music isn't even good enough for you
to be out here defending her chatter. I mean, I don't really care, but I don't really care
about our music. Ain't this the pop star that was super racing on Tumblr? I don't care about
any of that shit. This is, to me, individual acts of racism, pales in comparison to looking
at a situation where the American government has openly declared complete warfare, siege
warfare upon the entire Cuban population is saying, yeah, actually it's the fucking
government like aligning what the government that's doing that to your relatives is infinitely fucking worse
Straight up
This is where awareness matters the most she's from Mexico okay regardless she has the Cuban family members
Yeah, I work in affordable housing. I grew up in Castro because of how I saw how we were
treated. I am a political, even to the USA tour. Please talk about Israel also being
a part of the group's enable in the block. Yes, exactly.
more insane when you consider the fact that mission media isn't even trying to manufacture
consent for this one. They're just like barely talking about it.
Meanwhile, a humanitarian crisis unfolding in Cuba because of Trump's blockade is U.S.
strangulation of Cuba is so severe. U.S. media isn't even bothering to act like U.S. sanctions
are incidental to the suffering of the people like they did for years with Iran, Venezuela,
previous Cuba reporting. It's a post liberal order where humanitarian pretenses don't
matter much. The president is openly and proudly starving multiple countries, populations
it wants. And the only pushback is a handful of progressives in Congress releasing statements.
And that's basically it opens sadism, basically cracks the top 10 news items. Yeah. I mean,
it's pretty crazy. It is pretty wild to see the New York Times write, not with like a neutral
tone, but with like direct, direct language saying a new US blockade is strangling Cuba.
That's pretty fucking nuts.
It's crazy.
There has been a very strict embargo on the entire island for almost 70 years at this
point.
And now that embargo has taken on a new life where it is even more severe than before where
all of the, all of the additional trade partners that were offering oil to the island can
no longer do so.
Mexico had to stop sending oil. Venezuela is no longer a sovereign nation, right? Venezuela
is no longer sending oil. The only country that has actually said we'll pick up the slack
here is Russia. And who knows, who knows if that's going to be real. I mean, they're
very far away and the American government has already seized Russian oil tankers in
the past.
But now that the SCOTUS has deployed, now that the SCOTUS has cast aside Donald Trump's
tariffs threats, maybe Mexico can pick up the slack again.
Who knows?
It's my opinion that the court has been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement
that is far smaller than people would ever think.
It's a small movement.
I won by millions of votes.
We won in a landslide.
With all the cheating that went on, there was a lot of it.
We still won in a landslide.
Too big to rig.
But these people are obnoxious, ignorant, and loud.
They're very loud.
And I think certain justices are afraid of that.
They don't want to do the right thing.
They're afraid of it.
This was an important case to me.
More is a symbol of economic national security.
And also, I would say, just for our country itself,
so important, because we're doing so well as a country.
We've never done so well.
The good news is that there are methods, practices,
statutes, and authorities as recognized
by the entire court in this terrible decision
and also is recognized by Congress, which they refer to
that are even stronger than the IEPA tariffs available to me as president of
the United States and
in actuality I was very modest in my ask of other countries and businesses
because I wanted
to do
and it's very important
he's so mad
and to be very
well behaved
because I wanted to do anything I didn't want to do anything that would affect
the decision of the court, because I understand the court, I understand how they're very easily
swayed. I want to be a good boy. I have very effectively utilized tariffs over the past
year to make America great again. Our stock market has just recently broken 50,000 on
the Dow and simultaneously, and even more amazingly, broken 70, broken 7,000 on the
S&P. Two numbers that everybody thought upon our landslide election victory could
not be attained. Think of that. Nobody thought it was possible to do it within
four years, and we did it in one year. They said you'll never be able, you'll
go back and you read the geniuses, read their statements, all of the Nobel Prize winners
in economics. They said, no, you couldn't do it in four years. Well, we didn't do it
in four years. We did it in one year. We broke every record in the book, and we're continuing
to do so. Tariffs have likewise been used to end five of the eight wars that I settled.
settled eight wars, whether you like it or not, including India, Pakistan, big ones, nuclear
could have been nuclear. Prime Minister Pakistan said yesterday at the great meeting that we
had, the Peace Board, he said yesterday that President Trump could have saved 35 million
lives by getting us to stop fighting. They were getting ready to do some bad things.
But they have given us great national security this time, sir.
And together with our strong borders reduced fentanyl coming into our country by 30 percent.
When I use them as a penalty against countries illegally sending this poison into our country
to poison our youth, all of those tariffs remain.
They all remain.
I don't know if you know that or not.
They all remain.
We're still getting them and we will after the decision, this is nobody left to appeal
to.
But again, those three people, such respect, I've had a lot of respect for them anyway,
but such great respect.
But other alternative.
Yeah, they've done nothing.
And I mean nothing to actually use territory authorities as a part of industrial policy,
the reshor critical industry and help rebuild manufacturing capacity.
instead they've scrapped industry policy from the IRA and are using the chaos as leverage
for personal favors and bribes. It is one of the most insane open instances of corruption
that I've ever fucking seen in at least like the past 13 years of my political commentary
career. It is like there's always been corruption. There's always been, uh, you know, backdoor
dealings and, and people getting paid, uh, people getting favorable deals if they're
like closely administration, this has happened with the Obama administration, happened with
the, you know, branded administration as well as Trump and far before that as well.
But this is like open plunder. And it's not even, like, I want to say this is Turkish
levels of corruption with like the out of the line government. But honestly, even in
the Turkish government, like they don't do it this transparently, bro. It's crazy.
It's literally like a full-blown Turkification of the economy, but it's also being done in
the United States of America and more flagrantly, like more honestly, more in a more vulgar manner.
It's crea- they're basically saying we're butt fucking you, okay?
Like your taxes are just directly supposed to feed money into me and my friends' pockets.
They're just saying it out loud and everyone's like, hell yeah, Mr. President, thank
for fucking, you know, thank you for draining the swamp, I guess. I don't know.
I made it go musicals clean. I think you know motherless.
I just, I don't know. It's, it's, uh, it's, it's so crazy. It's so crazy.
Yeah. JD Vance also had a take. Today is the Supreme Court decided that Congress,
despite giving the president the ability to regulate imports, didn't actually mean it.
This is lawlessness from the court. Plain and simple. And its only effect will be to make it harder for the president to protect American industries and supply chain resiliency.
Is that what the American president was doing? Because I didn't see it. I certainly didn't see it. President Trump is a wide range of other terror powers.
He will use them to defend American workers and advances in administration's trade priorities. Yeah, basically we're held back on making it pay more for coffee even though we don't and can't grow it domestically at scale.
Like there are certain goods, certain commodities that you just cannot have, right?
You just can't, you can't do it. Like coffee is one of them. It's just, we don't have the capacity
with our, with our current
ecological limitations, with our current climate limitations. We just simply cannot have enough coffee in this fucking country. Okay?
Like we can't do it.
So when you slam these tariffs on goods like that,
You can't do anything like you do you just have to pay the the additional premium the entry fee and
When you know importers are doing that they're
They're basically slamming that cost back onto the consumer. So it's basically a a regressive tax an additional regressive tax
The tariffs they levied on all major coffee producers such a perfect encapsulation of how this has nothing to do with protecting American workers
they ch- these chuggerfugs loved illegally using terrorist authority to extort business
and author countries into giving bribes. We do like the USSR didn't grow coffee they
grew citrus in gigantic greenhouse expensive but we could, brother.
Coffee is one of the major problems that caused the literal fucking riots in the
USSR like coffee is a perfect example
Because it's just region locked
Okay, it's just fucking region locked
So the problem within the USSR there were literal riots in fucking East Germany over coffee
Okay
It's one of the examples that I use all the time to talk about how like important treats are to keep people happy to keep people satisfied
That's one of the major issues within the USSR's manufacturing.
For sure, not saying it's a good idea, exactly. It's one of the, yeah, look, East German coffee
crisis. Like it's quite literally, it's quite literally one of the major incidents
that I use with regular frequency to describe the importance
of making sure that you have like light industry
or to make sure that you have your like
international trade design work to provide some of these
commodities, some of these goods to the population
so they don't fucking lose their minds.
It's not even, like when I say something as a treat
I think like we have the, it feels like I'm undermining
its importance and the role it plays in good governance.
I'm not undermining it at all.
I think it's a very important aspect of good governance
to ensure that people have access to these commodities.
It's not just like, oh, something you can live without.
Why don't you just live without it?
Socialism is a an aesthetic lifestyle that you need to live like a monk
You need to do away with these pleasures like no these are things that
Make humans human these are things that are an absolute fucking necessity
um
and
As long as they are readily available people will be less likely to fucking revolt
But yeah, America is doing the exact same thing for no reason whatsoever
They've done fuck off using tariffs authorities as a part of an industrial policy the reshor critical industry
They haven't done that at all and help rebuild manufacturing capacity is that they've scrapped
industry industrial policy from the IRA and are using the cast leverage for personal favors
and bribes and that's precisely what they're doing that is precisely what they're doing.
They're they're they're open about it. They're not hiding it. They're not sheltering
you from the truth. They're just saying it out loud. So it blows my fucking mind
that like, you know, more people aren't frustrated by this.
Rand Paul, of course, being the libertarian that he is,
decided in our defense of our Republican Supreme Court
struck down using emergency powers to enact taxes.
This ruling will also prevent a future president
such as AOC from using emergency powers to enact socialism.
Now, that is part of the reason why I'm not super stoked.
That's part of the reason why I'm not super stoked
on the the Supreme Court decision. Like I get it. It's good to use it against Donald
Trump, but it's something that you need to like back pocket and remind yourself if there
is ever a moment where we win power, we can't let that happen. Okay, let's be real. I'm
sorry.
I didn't want to do anything that would affect the decision of the court because I understand
the court. I understand how they're very easily swayed. I want to be a good boy.
I have very, well, you just had to do socialism democratically then. First of all, that's not
how that works because the Supreme Court has an undemocratic design. What are you talking
about? Like, this is, this is a secondary concern for a fucking hypothetical future
that may or may not ever happen. So I'm not going to stress too much on it. I'm just,
I'm just saying what are some of the downsides, what are some of the potential downsides, okay?
These will now be used to replace the ones that the court incorrectly rejected.
We have alternatives.
Great alternatives.
It could be more money, we'll take in more money and we'll be a lot stronger for it.
We're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars.
We'll continue to do so.
To show you how ridiculous the opinion is, however, the court said that I'm not
allowed to charge even one dollar.
I can't charge one dollar.
Can't charge a dollar.
I would have used one penny, but we don't make the pennies
anymore.
We save money.
Can't charge one dollar to any country under AIPA.
Not one dollar.
Not one dollar under AIPA.
This must have been done to protect
those other countries.
Certainly not the United States of America, which they
should be interested in protecting.
That's what they're supposed to be protecting.
But I am allowed to cut off any and all trade or business with that same cut.
Like presidents have broad.
Tear of authority outside of IEPA.
He's just been using IEPA as the, as the primary tool to just like.
Uh, to, to engage in this like tariffs policy, the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act, okay.
which gives the president broad authority to regulate commerce and free sassas during declared national emergencies
that's the reason why they declared fentanyl as a crisis as a national emergency right
so there are still plenty of tools in the tool belt to deploy here and the you know the president will do that
if the if his team is invested in continuing this like tariffs warfare
there. And it seems like there are plenty of people who are invested in continuing along
with that regime. Do not give them ideas. Chatter, come on. There are plenty of intelligent
people, plenty of competent people in Trump's team that are obviously giving him a range
of different options as far as tariffs. Okay. And as a socialist, you also should understand
the power of trade protectionism for the record. The issue with Donald Trump's tariffs agenda
was that there was no real discernible reason for why he was enacting these broad tariffs.
He was basically dunking on the international trade design that they had designed prior
to this, it's not, like I am not fundamentally opposed to tariffs as a defensive posture to
reshore industry, critical industry to improve the standing of the American labor class,
to bring back companies, to force back economic activity to the United States of America and to
to make sure that there are protections for labor in the process as well, that all of
these companies that are coming back and reshoring on US borders are gonna have to have unions.
These are gonna be union shops, union factories, they're gonna be built with labor unions,
union construction companies.
Those are things that a left American president, a socialist, sounds funny to even say, that's
not going to happen, but a socialist American president could do in a hypothetical future
that is still very far away.
I'm not even saying AOC would do this.
I'm just saying this is a tool in the tool belt, industrial policy, and utilizing defensive
tariffs as a as a mechanism to bring about a new wave of American manufacturing.
Okay. These are things that we could do. These are things that maybe we should do. Okay.
So the IEPA, International Emergency Economic Powers Act allows the executive branch to respond
to unusual and extraordinary foreign threats to the United States national security,
foreign policy or the economy. This is precisely the reason why Donald Trump was utilizing the
fentanyl war, but like he wasn't even, his heart wasn't in it. Okay. Half, half the time he was
like, I'm doing these tariffs because of fentanyl. And then other, and then, and then the other
times he would be like, I just don't like you. He would be like, like what, what kind of fentanyl
trafficking was taking place on like, I don't know, some random fucking island nation. Like,
Oh, yeah. Laos is a big, like Laos is actually harming the American heartland with all the
fentanyl that they're shipping from over there, Cambodia. Because then the other half of the
argument was fixing trade deficits, which again is also stupid. How do you fix the trade
deficit with Cambodia? How do you fix the trade deficit with Penguin Island?
But who are you taxing the penguins? What the fuck are you saying? None of this makes sense. So
obviously it was expansive. It was crazy. It was it was unilateral. It was, you know, directly
breaking the previous global trade design that we had set that we were benefiting from greatly or
at least like that created this, uh, insane force of finance capital in the United States
of America.
And Donald Trump is trying to like move those puzzle pieces around a little bit.
But because he's a, a stupid little baby, he's moving the puzzle pieces around by just
slamming puzzle pieces into places where it doesn't fit.
Okay.
That's the best way I can describe it.
It's reductive, but, um, there is a goal behind it.
Make no mistake.
to feel as though this is like rudderless or directionless or totally,
totally without any, any, you know, decipherable reason in a,
with like some sort of future vision is wrong.
I just don't think that they are ever going to accomplish what they're trying to accomplish
because it's still being done at the best of capital
and not at the best of the proletariat, not at the best of the working class
And therefore, there is no move that you can make that will be protected for the labor class in this country, the working class in this country.
So all it ends up doing is move money around to some of your ordained dick writers that are your ba-
billionaires here we fucking go dude
all right we're back we're back of course of course big F
It's just, it's so fucking unbearable anyway.
So if you think this is going to like ultimately change like a lot of the tariffs, tariff rates
in general, no, there are other statutes that give the president broad tariff authority.
So in the interim section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 explicitly authorizes a POTUS
to apply tariffs up to 15% for 150 days broadly.
So that's one of the things that they have in the tool belt.
Section 122 doesn't require any studies slash other pre-processed, but caps, tariff rates
and duration.
Like I said, you can only do it up to 15%, and you can only do it up to 150 days.
like Trump still has some tools to keep up tariffs, right?
And then there's also Section 338 of the Trade Act of 1930, which allows tariffs up to 50%
with no time limit.
Section 338 explicitly authorizes tariffs, unlike the emergency that EPA that we were
We're talking about which is Supreme Court struck down and section three a is so open
and it may trigger its own court challenges if the White House uses it, but any such cases
would take time.
So expect broad, where is it?
So expect broad tariffs to stay in place for some time.
Here's the thing.
Trump's broadest tariffs, the EPA tariffs in the Supreme Court ruling, not the targeted
ones on steel, autos, et cetera, are often mis-targeted and are on and off with
ever changing rates.
Now we have the 2025 trade data and more showing results.
To date, the results of Trump's trade policy are the opposite of his campaign promises.
We've lost 88,000 American manufacturing jobs since Trump returned to office.
The 2025 manufacturer goods trade deficit is up 62 billion, 3.9% compared to 2024.
This isn't an indictment of tariffs.
They're a good policy tool of use strategically.
It's about how Trump is doing it.
He cut tariffs on China, a nation with mercantilist practices, that fuel our trade deficit, but
hit Brazil with 50% tariffs, even though they, even though we have a trade surplus with Brazil.
And the reason why he did the Brazil thing was purely, that that one was purely vindictive.
Because he was like, I don't want Lula, Lula, I don't want you to act out.
I don't want you to have sovereignty.
And I also don't want you to throw my friend in prison.
It wasn't just Bolsonaro obviously when Donald Trump is doing this like gangsterism.
The reason why he's doing it is to reassert his dominance on nations that are potentially
looking to, to alternatives like China to maintain their sovereignty and to leverage
their relationship with America.
So that's a big part of the reason why he's doing it to be like, if you fucking do anything
that i don't want you to do i will punish you
part of it is because uh... lula and not just lula but like brazil a
separate uh... uh... independent court
has found lula guilty of of fomenting uh... uh... and inciting
uh... a a rebellion uh... identical to january six as a matter of fact and
now lula
uh... we're not lula sorry but uh... uh...
balsam arrows postcode prison for like twenty seven years
And Donald Trump doesn't want that. Donald Trump hates that because he loves Bolsonaro.
Uh, Bolsonaro is his guy. Uh, so he wants to punish for that reason as well.
But if you're wondering why Lula, for example, has not said anything or hasn't done too much to
save Mexico for, or not Mexico, sorry, save Cuba, for example, this is part of the reason
because they are fearful of Donald Trump's vindictive tariffs agenda.
And this is, I mean, there are so many other ways in which the American government could dominate
countries. Basically, all the tools that we have at our disposal that we refuse to utilize on
Israel, a country perhaps most worthy of tariffs and sanctions and decoupling, we are using
on all these other countries. Like there are an endless amount of opportunities for Donald Trump to
basically destroy every other country's economy. Okay? Donald Trump could do this in every country on
the planet. Even outside of tariffs, you have the Treasury Department, right? Sanctions are another
tool. So, you know, even before we get to direct warfare, boots on the ground, warfare,
striking boats off the coastline and shit like that. There are so many other tools in
the American tool belt to dominate every other country in the periphery, right?
So yeah, despite mainly balance trade with the U.S., Canada got hit over perceived insults,
but Trump's Commerce Secretary offered to cut steel tariffs, U.S. manufacturers and
union support if the EU drops big tech regulations. That's not trade strategy.
tariffs equals leverage for corporate favors. The deeper loss, and that's another reason why
all these tech billionaires actually dick-ride Donald Trump and do oblivion because Donald
Trump will literally go and say, we're gonna hit the EU hard if you actually implement any sort
of sovereignty over our tech companies that are operating on European soil. And Europe
doesn't even have any alternatives anyway. This is something that Yanis Verifakis has talked
about quite a bit as well and you know is a approach to to tech feudalism, neo feudalism in
the tech sphere. So there's that as well. America understands that American capital works,
American capital works alongside American imperial dominance, because American imperial dominance
is done at the behest of American capital or international capital if you want to call it that because the ruling class and nowadays is not so
Is is not so stuck with uh, you know the american nation they don't really give a shit they can move around and they do
So
The deeper loss with today's supreme court ruling
Epa allows no tariffs. Trump's abuse of Epa has now foreclosed a tool used to strategically and judiciously
Used strategically and judiciously could have been genuinely useful for future presidents pursuing smart trade policy
So that's it
The Supreme Court took away one tool
From the tool belt. This doesn't mean that he they took away all the tools
There's still plenty of fucking tools that he can use and will continue to use
Okay.
Laurie Wallach has an update.
As I predicted in my thread a few hours ago in response to Supreme Court ruling, this
am Trump's epitarrh is, POTUS just announced he will issue 10% tariffs on all imports using
section 122 of the 1974 trade act.
So that already happened.
And there are other opportunities to dominate other countries as well, right?
This is the United States of America.
If we want to fucking bully a country.
We have a million different ways of doing so, okay?
If we want to cripple a country's economy, we have less vulgar methods, less overt methods
to do so.
Trump is just using the vulgar methods because he likes it.
He likes playing fast and loose.
He likes showcasing his dominance.
He likes putting people in their place, right?
He likes to do that.
He likes to hit the place button with other nations in the periphery like, oh, you want
to do bricks, you know, oh, you want to, you want to prosecute a, a, uh, a previous leader
of the country that decided to foment rebellion place.
Yeah.
So that's what it is, but let's continue.
In other words, I can destroy the trade.
I can destroy the country.
I'm even allowed to impose a foreign country, destroying embargo.
I can embargo.
I can do.
Oh yeah.
There's this other side of the story too though.
Trump Trump section, uh, one, two, two terrors will expire and
like the Huck is going to be fun to see reports of Congress being asked
to vote to extend tariffs that voters hate two months before election day.
Yeah.
So he's doing 10% global tariffs under section one to two.
We're also initiating several section 301 and other investigations to protect our country from unfair trading practices and
And yeah, so when the when the deadline kicks in because we remember I told you like you can do 10% you could do up to 150 days
You know when that time comes
It'll be right up right up in the ash cheeks of the midterms. So good luck
Good luck to Republicans in Congress to extend this largely unfavorable trade agenda.
And while I personally understand the necessity for trade protectionism, even for a country,
you set up the 15%, I believe he can do it up to 15%.
Maybe he's doing it 10% because he likes the number.
Again, there is a grand design here, there is a conclusion that they want to arrive at,
but they're not going to arrive at it.
And also, the way Donald Trump operates is like, he could just be like, I like 10 as
a better number, okay?
I like 10 as a better number than 15, or maybe he's thinking I can bring it up to
15% later down the line.
that I you know if someone annoys me I can say 15% for you instead of 10 I just added another 5%
so that's that's part of it it's
because like remember we're talking about a guy who literally was like I'm giving the American
military $1,776 I'm making ice agents trained for 47 days like he's behaving like a fucking
numerology geek, okay? Like some of the stuff he does is symbolic. The actions are real, the
impact is real, but the methods of arriving at these, the methods or the guiding principle behind
why he's choosing certain things over, over maxing out on like what he could do with the
the tariffs could very easily be for, you know,
numerology purposes, just because he felt like it, you know?
Anything I want, but I can't charge $1.
Because that's not what it says.
And that's not the way it even reads.
I could do anything I want to do to them,
but I can't judge any money.
Oh, as far as like, who's getting a big paid out of this?
I'm gonna talk about it. His name is Howard Nutlick.
He's, you can see his shoulder right here.
You can't see he's grinning.
You can feel him grinning in the corner.
You can't really see his face, but he's grinning ear to ear
because he's making out like a fucking bandit.
His children are making out like a fucking bandit today.
So I'm allowed to destroy the country,
but I can't charge him a little fee.
I could give my name right here.
At Steve's neighbor, Howard Nutlick.
Two cent fee, but I cannot charge under any circumstances.
I cannot charge them anything.
Think of that.
How ridiculous is that?
I'm allowed to embargo them.
I'm allowed to tell them you can't do business in the
United States anymore.
We want you out of here.
But if I want to charge them $10, I can't do that.
It's incorrect.
Their decision's incorrect.
But it doesn't matter, because we have very powerful
alternatives that have been approved by this decision.
You know, they've been approved by the decision for
those that thought they had us.
And they're saying that I have the absolute right to license,
but not the right to charge a license fee.
So think of that.
I have the right to license, which is a very powerful word.
In many ways, license is more powerful than tariffs.
In fact, I was thinking about using it.
But they came up with the idea that I can license, just
like the people that were opposing me told them to do,
but not the right to charge a license fee.
Think of that.
Who ever heard of such a thing?
What license has ever been issued without the right to charge a fee?
You get a license to charge a fee, it's automatic, but not with this court.
But now the court has given me the unquestioned right to ban all sorts of things from coming
into our country, to destroy foreign countries.
But a much more powerful right than many people ever thought we even had.
But not the right to charge a fee.
How crazy is that?
Our country is the hottest country.
anywhere in the world right now.
And it was a dead country one and a half years ago
under an incompetent president.
But now I'm going to go in a different direction,
probably the direction that I should have gone
the first time, but I read the language.
I'm very good at reading language and it read our way
100%, but now I'll go the way I could have gone
originally, which is even stronger than our original
choice, as Justice Kavanaugh, who stuck his gun, so you have to see, I'm so proud of him,
wrote in his dissent, although I firmly disagree with the courts holding today, the decision
might not substantially constrain a president's ability to order tariffs going forward. So
So I think of that, the decision might not substantially constrain, and it doesn't.
He's right.
In fact, I can judge much more than I was judging.
So I'm going to just start.
Although I firmly disagree with the course holding today, the decision might not substantially
constrain a President's ability to order tariffs going forward.
That's because numerous other federal statutes, which is so true, authorized the president
to impose tariffs and might justify most, if not all, of the tariffs issued in this case,
even more tariffs, actually.
Those statutes include, think of that, those statutes include, for example, the Trade
Expansion Act of 1962, section 232. All of these things I know so well. The Trade Act of 1974,
sections 122, 201, 301. And the Tariff Act of 1930, section 338, all clear. But it's a little bit
longer process. I thought that would make things simple. But they didn't let us do that. I would
I would like to thank Justice Kavadoff,
his frankly, his genius and his great ability.
Very proud of that appointment.
In actuality, while I am sure that they did not mean
to do so, the Supreme Court's decision today
made a President's ability to both regulate,
train, and impose tariffs more powerful and more crystal
clear rather than less.
I don't think they meant that.
I'm sure they didn't. It's terrible at your thing, Pritzker. Pritzker is also calling this
great, not only is it not only hangs it around the Amazon's neck, but greats on the fake
problems that admin made to send out dividend checks. Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per
family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled on constitutional. I like
that Democrats play ball like this. Like they play hard ball like this is a good move.
Okay. Because obviously it's not going to happen, but the point is it reminds the people in Illinois who actually is responsible for the cost of living crisis or who accelerated it.
Oh God, sorry. Holy shit. That burp just came out of my mouth out of nowhere. That was an uncontrolled burp. Yeah, it's a it's good midterm messaging as well.
It's good in general. Shout out to the big boy JB Pritzker.
Don't you think this is fake with any promising checks? This seems like libshit to me checks.
No, he's saying that your tariff taxes wreaked havoc on farmers and raised our allies and
sent grocery prices to the roof. This morning your handpicked Supreme Court just has notified you
that you are, that they're also unconstitutional. On behalf of the people of Illinois, I demand
a refund for $1,700 for every family in Illinois. The Supreme Court has ruled that bringing the
total to $8,679,261,600. The Supreme Court has ruled that this is yet one of the more unconstitutional
acts by you and your administration. This letter and the attached invoice stand as an official
notice for compensation that is owed to the people of Illinois.
Meanwhile, Trump is like, Oh yeah, I'm giving another $8 billion of the board of peace that
will go directly into my fucking pockets.
He's wrong. The other countries paid the tariffs. Okay, dude, shut up.
You're not being serious, I hope.
Okay.
I thought we got one. I thought we got a Trumpy.
Okay, I thought there was a Trumpy in the building. I was excited. I was going to pet you.
Pet the hog.
So many people believe that, yes, they also believe Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, is coming back on earth any day now, okay?
What do you do? 42% of Americans also believe in ghosts, okay?
It doesn't matter, you know, it is what it is. You just gotta keep fucking telling them what the truth is.
Ay-ya-ya-ya.
That the Democrats who oppose this, only because they want to go the opposite way, they'd like
to pack the court, they want to put on 21 people, they want to pack the court, pack
the Supreme Court, maybe they should do it, maybe they would be better off if they did
it, they want to pack the court, they want to do anything to hurt our country.
There will no longer be any doubt and the income coming in and the protection of.
I do love when he's sad though.
He gets like weepy.
And he's like, man, I guess they don't like me no more.
They want to pack it.
They want to pack the cords.
Like it's funny to see him behave like this.
Like he doesn't even have the righteous indignation here.
He's just like more restrained by design.
He's just like upset.
you know. Our companies in country will actually increase because of this decision. I don't
think the court meant that but that's the way it is. Look what you made me do, look.
Oh did you want this to happen? Oh you wanted only bad happen? I said nothing bad happened,
only good happened. You want bad happen? Standing law and hundreds of victories and
And even as I was pointed out before, even thousands of victories over the years, to the
contrary, the Supreme Court did not overrule tariffs.
They merely overruled a particular use of IEPA tariffs.
And essentially, it's the use to get a fee.
I can do anything I want with IEPA.
Anything.
I just can't charge anybody for it.
I can license.
I just can't charge.
effectively rendering it useless.
So fuck.
OK, so you can you can still say you're doing tears, but there's zero dollars.
You're accruing zero dollars in fees.
Yeah, it's ridiculous, but it's OK because we have.
Other ways, numerous other ways, the ability to block embargo restrict,
license, or impose any other condition on a foreign country's ability to conduct trade
with the United States under IEPA has been fully confirmed by this decision.
So now there's no doubt, because you know there were a lot of questions about tariffs
because no president was smart enough to use them to protect our country from those countries.
It's awesome.
The Supreme Court has done a great disservice to me, the best president of all time, but
But they've also made me more powerful than before.
They've taken out one of the tools that I can use at my disposal to do this like ridiculous
tariffs agenda.
But also, they've given me even more power.
They've also given me more power to utilize tariffs now, ha ha.
Okay, so why are you mad?
Is there ever a moment where Donald Trump does something wrong?
Is a good question to ask here.
there ever been a moment where Donald Trump has been in the wrong, whether it be tariffs,
whether it be Epstein, whether it be, you know, starving Cuba, starving Iran? Nope.
It's always right. I did everything right. And they indicted me. It's always the, that's
always the case. And there's no punishments for it. So you might as well, if you can
get away with just saying that your, you know, heads you win or heads I win, tails
you lose over and over again, you can just keep doing that. And that's what he's doing.
And businesses that were ripping us off, you took a look at the deficits that we had with
some of these countries who was disgraceful what they got away with for many, many decades.
But now we know, because this decision affirms all those things that some people weren't
sure about, in order to protect, and it says so, in order to protect our country,
A president can actually charge more tariffs than I was charging in the past.
So the Ayatollah is not starving in Iran?
Under the various tariffs.
The Iranian population is starving in Iran.
Use other of the statutes, other of the tariff authorities, which have also been confirmed
and are fully allowed.
Therefore, effective immediately, all national security tariffs under Section 232 and existing
Section 301 tariffs, they're existing, they're there.
Remain in place, fully in place, and in full force and effect.
Today I will sign in order to impose a 10% global tariff under Section 232.
They said I was drunk driving and they took my lights away, but they actually made
it so I can drive more and drive drunker?
No, they actually made me more powerful because now I'm taking the most powerful Uber rides.
Okay. And technically I can still drive drunk if I want to without a license. But this time
I will just evade the law enforcement authorities even better. Like it's like that. You know,
your honor, you took away my, my license because you found me guilty of drunk driving,
that's making me more powerful. It's a grave injustice that you have done to me. Much dishonor
for taking away my license, but I will drive drunker than ever before. And this time engage
in evasive maneuvers against law enforcement and you will see you will see me on the roads
Inside of Ubers, more powerful Ubers will be taken.
On 22, over and above our normal tariffs already being charged.
And we're also initiating several section 301 and other investigations to protect our country
from unfair trading practices of other countries and companies.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and I say quite simply, which I've said for
a long time, make America great again. And interestingly, we've already made it great. So I don't
Yeah, America is so great. And it's getting even better. And it's bad, actually. But the
only reason why it's bad is because Joe Biden made it bad. And I'm saving it. But also
the Supreme Court is now also Joe Biden have to use that. But I don't think we'll
I'll never give up on Maggie.
Maggie's always going to be with us.
If you have a few questions, you can let us know.
But just to end, so we're going forward,
we will be able to take in more money,
and there'll no longer be doubt.
Because there was always doubt.
I know the people that brought the lawsuit,
and they're sleazebags, major sleazebags.
But I know them.
What do you think about the reactions to your Adam
Mockler Convo?
I haven't seen it.
So, I don't know. I don't know what the reaction is. I don't need to see it though, because I
suspect that liberals take away from that will be Adam mugged him. The DGG drones will probably
be like, Adam destroyed him. Or I think they're mad. They were like complaining about how long
I talked throughout the process. Uh, and then those to the left of me are, are, or like leftists,
uh, leftists will say, Oh, you didn't destroy him in the marketplace of ideas. You conceded
too much. And it's like, I didn't concede at all. Those are my positions. Like those
are my f**king positions. Yes. Harm reduction in theory is correct. It's something that
I've said for years, and it will, it will be something that I keep repeating over and
over again.
The problem is, harm reduction is a tool that liberals use, establishment Democrats use
to remain a controlled opposition party.
Also, yeah, as far as like the, the principles goes, Adam agreed with like 80%.
The disagreement was on optics.
So if that's what you care about, that's what you care about.
Most of the argument also revolved around like voter apathy and creating voter apathy.
And my major point there was I am incapable of creating voter apathy outside of what
the Democratic party is doing. And I think he even agreed with that at the end. He just
said, well, you're still doing your very best to create voter apathy. But I also understand
that a big part of the reason why I feel like you're creating voter apathy is because
of people clipping you without, without adding on the nuance to the things that you believe
in the things that you say, you know, I don't know, maybe I'm too echo chamber, but the
The reactions I've seen where the atom was too focused on the optics and was just talking
past us on Abbey who was speaking on political realism, yeah.
Did you consider not being clipped?
I would love for these guys, I would love, I would love for liberals to not just like
clip the most hyper hyperbolic instance.
If they don't, if they truly believe that my word is capable of creating voter apathy,
What liberals should do instead of clipping my most hyperbolic statements and then letting
it sit without any additional context that I always offer, and instead clip the entire
thing and make an adequate assessment.
Okay?
Because if that is what is ultimately offering apathy, if that is what is causing apathy,
think that like, these words have the capacity to make voters all around the country mistrust
the Democratic Party.
Then liberals that are working tirelessly to make it seem like I'm always saying, fuck
the Democrats, don't ever vote for a Democrat, don't work with the Democrats, anything like
that should work tirelessly to ensure that the full scope of my sentiment is addressed.
Because those are the guys who are churning out these takes.
Do you talk about Asaf too much and you need to shut that down to a live audience?
Look, I say Asaf is a sleeper pick. He's far from my favorite candidate. I'm just saying that
I see I see a capacity there, but it's entirely dependent on what kind of platform he takes on
Now of course if he is still doing business as usual establishment politics as he has done so in Georgia so far voting for Lake and Riley
And and taking a more moderate stance in general only coming out initially against Israel and then immediately conceding on that
You know a refusal to fucking increase minimum wage shit like that. It's unacceptable
I will treat him in the same exact way that I do Gavin Newsom.
But the reason why I brought it up,
the reason why I brought up Ossoff as a, as a sleeper pig,
regardless of his dog shit voting record,
is because I have this very stupid belief.
Again, it's fucking so far out for the record.
It is so far out.
I think John Ossoff is doing the opposite
what Gavin Newsom is doing.
He agree with you on everything,
he just wanted you to admit that the Thames are better
on some issues and the difference is not marginal,
which it is for the larger population it is.
He did say he's more progressive than he lets on,
I know it's far up, but why not just push AOC as much as you can?
I do.
I do.
I do.
I think you guys are getting a weirdly culty on this,
for some reason.
It's like saying, why bring up even Rokana's name
when AOC is far more progressive than Rokana?
Reality.
It is the reality.
You're tunneled in somehow.
Sorry, but RareLTake, bro.
sure. I'm not saying John Oslo is a champion of progressives and or will be a champion
of progressives. I'm saying if he wants to become a champion of progressive causes, he
could have a very interesting lane there. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, that combo was
him trying to make Twitter lib haters seem reasonable by critiquing two clips for two
hours and he conceded on basically everything while trying to shift the blame away from the Dems.
He was defending. Eh, I don't think so. I think he also conceded on a lot of the same issues that
he sees as well. I started following his Adams use quickly coincided with the exception Newsom.
I feel like you got the dollars. No. I don't think John Ossoff, if John Ossoff doesn't dramatically
change his approach, he's dead in the fucking water for the record. I will be treating him
in the same exact way that I think Gavin Newsom will, will, uh, run.
I just don't know yet.
It's so fucking far out.
Okay.
That's it.
Everyone from both sides have been very weird and persocial about the debate
conversation.
Yeah.
He's literally your least favorite pick.
Why are people arguing with you?
Law.
As far as the establishment slant goes, um, I don't know why.
Again, this is just a purely speculative at this point. But as far as the establishment
of Jason Slank goes, I prefer John Ossoff to many others. I prefer John Ossoff to Josh
Shapiro again or Gavin Newsom. And the only reason why I'm saying that is because I think
he's more progressive than he lets on. That's a really stupid way to make an argument. It's
a really stupid way to make an assessment. I'm just saying gun to your head. Which
when do you prefer I to AOC? No! No, AOC is not even a part of the fucking conversation.
I think you guys have to be a little bit more fucking, like, you need to be chill. You
need to be chiller about this. Okay, there's no world where it's like
Osof over fucking AOC. There's no world where there's any other candidate over AOC for
the most part. Okay. This is, I think this is one of the most unfortunate byproducts
of debate. Um, and like the, the environment at fosters where like, I'll do a throwaway
comment and everyone will be like, this is the most, this is the most unimaginable,
unacceptable thing that you've ever said in your entire life. I'm seeing red. I feel
like you are my opposition now. You like I don't like John Ossoff. I'm not saying John
Ossoff is my my choice at all. And I guess it's because Mike got really mad at my even
mention of John Ossoff. So now everyone that watched him in the morning are coming in here
to yell at me and repeat whatever he said.
These conversations are not only unproductive, but utterly idiotic right now, this far out.
You're going to make me stop talking about, you know, Elector Naisa Squirrel again.
Yeah, you only saw like one clip.
I just, I don't even think we should be talking about who's going to be running in 2028.
I love Summer Lee.
No, we actually care and know who Asif is.
You clearly don't.
I don't.
I don't.
You know what?
The more you say stop mentioning him, the more I'm going to say, I love John Asif.
I think John Asif is the future of the party.
I've decided I don't even care about AOC running anymore.
I actually liked John Ossoff.
I think John Ossoff is going to be the best candidate possible. Sorry.
Like I, yeah, yeah, no, I've decided I'm, I'm right or die.
I'm an Ossoff Easter.
I'm the Feddy in for John Ossoff. Yeah. He is the next.
He is basically the next FDR and Lenin combined.
The next Lenin will come from Georgia.
And his name, John Ossoff, I'm Ossofied.
And you know who I want as his vice president?
Stacey Abrams.
The Ossoff Abrams pick.
I don't think there's any I don't think there's any
any, uh, uh, what do you call it? I don't think there's any fucking lane for a non-progressive
in my, in my estimation. I'm saying that like, given how you're the liberal domestic, you
know, that's what I'm saying. I'm a liberal now. I'm, I'm a fucking complete liberal.
I have been ossified. Thank you, anonymous. We all know who the anonymous gift there
is the DNC for the 100 gifted subs. Thank you. The DNC, the D triple C has gifted 100
gifted subs to the number one liberal advocate. I'm doing third way. I'm doing third way
neoliberalism. That's where we're at, baby. Let's fucking go. In the next 10 minutes,
I'm going to be talking to a belly of the beast. Don't be that guy that can't take
any criticism. You talk positively about also a few times. Now we're just going to tell
you he sucks. I know he sucks. You're telling me something that I know. We're just trying
to tell you he sucks. He's one of the most right wing Dems in the Senate. Don't dig
in. No, you're digging in. I know John Ossoff sucks. Hello. You are telling me something
that I know I said is voting track record as it stands currently as dog shit. You're beat.
I don't know. I can't understand. I'm saying given his given his lack of experience in
Congress and if he actually saw the progressive lane out of all the establishment pigs, he's
the more he's the more malleable establishment democratic candidate that could potentially
pivot if he doesn't then he sucks it's that simple but it doesn't matter then stop talking
about positively I will talk about whoever the fuck I want to talk about in whichever
ways I want to talk about okay that's it
This is how is any different than like Adam Mockler being like I don't like the optics of where you're standing here
You know what I mean? You're like no you're you're not gonna get me to do that. Okay. I will promise you I
Am a a a Janet pills mafia
Pills Miller and I'm ossified
The drama brain portion of the communities being parasocial again. Yeah, call me call me mr. Liberal. I'm I'm fucking lived up, baby
Yes, I thought you were just offering up Ossoff and Khan at the Macri's audience to make yourself
seem reasonable to rub them in a bit.
You obviously do not want Ossoff or Khan as president.
Clearly the Chattas understand this or am I wrong?
No, they don't understand it.
The mere mention of John Ossoff.
The mere mention of John Ossoff implies that I love John Ossoff and I think he
is the future of the party.
And guess what? They're right.
Ask your community gun to head mafia or a plantner, get a poll in here. Dude, what do
you mean? I will never run a poll for that. This is not a democracy.
You betrayed us yesterday.
Anyway, I absolutely hate that you only engage with people in the community that try to rage
you and don't understand what you're saying for the most part. Okay, true, true, true.
We're moving on. We're moving on.
You are correct. You mentioned Asif and you are now brandonized. I'm calcified in my
position. I have a firm commitment to third-way neoliberalism and I think John Asif is the
the best candidate out there. And you guys got me.
Of course you can talk about whoever the fuck you wanted to get. We were just saying there's
bad consequences for fuck's sake. Don't be butt hurt. We fucking love you. Okay. First
of all, the bad consequences of me saying if John also for to pivot more in the direction
progressive politics, he could be an interesting pick far from my favorite at all. What are
the consequences there? If he doesn't do that, if he stays the course on fucking establishment,
conservative liberalism, then it's over. It's, he's, he's an op. What is the, what is the
negative consequence of that? Like in the extremely unlikely scenario, that, that this,
this pivot happens, he could be an interesting candidate for me, not my favorite, not even
in the top contender at all, I literally mentioned people that have no investment in running
at all, like John Stuart and fucking Sean Fain before I even mentioned the Georgia Senator.
And you are choosing to make me talk about it because you keep getting mad about a last
second edition.
You're making me talk about it. If you want me to keep talking about it, I will keep talking
about it. I will talk about it all day, every day.
You have the lip Hassan endorsement. Agree with every word of this from Hassan, the
hunt. Yeah, liberals liked it. Liberals liked that I throw them a little, little
bone with the ossoff pic. You know? They liked it. If you phrase it better, you take it and
have a lot less issues. No, there's always going to be issues, but you're right. I can
always phrase everything better. New New Hampshire poll. Yeah, this is a pretty crazy one. New
Hampshire Demprimer ages 18 to 34 AOC at 42%. I can't believe there's still New Hampshire
libs that fucking are putting Pete Buttigieg to 24% by the way. 18 to 34.
Don't act like you and John Ossoff aren't the same person.
John Ossoff really wants you to think he's ready to be in Congress.
I've got five years of maturity as a national security staffer.
There's just one problem. Ossoff wasn't exactly fighting against terrorism.
He was fighting against restrictions on cake parties.
You see, Ossoff was just a college kid, doing things like dressing up with his drinking buddies and pretending to be Han Solo.
I'm Han Solo, Captain of the Monion Falcon. She's the baby ran to four kegs by Docs and her three Parsons.
And here's Ossoff and his college buddies making fun of Georgetown's female students.
John Ossoff, not honest, not serious, not ready. Sorry, Johnny, but the truth strikes back.
Congressional Leadership Fund is responsible for the content of this ad.
It's actually good that you're opening up this lane for Ossoff, if you believe there's
space for him on the left. He'll move in that direction. Even if it doesn't win the
president, he's still a senator. I mean, I don't think, I don't think John also hears
my fucking words. Like I think it's, it's a utterly irrelevant statement overall.
The whole combo was so Senator optics that I felt like the conclusion was that it's
fine if Dems just changed their message with left poppy talking points. Like I don't
care about the Dems winning if they just tricking their base of O for them better.
I don't want to also the trick to base into liking him when it's actually proof
otherwise. Yeah, no, I don't disagree with that. That's why I always say earnest. Whenever I talk
about Democrats, I say it's not about just convincing people with a more progressive policy,
but it's also about actually fighting for it, like showing people that you are capable of fighting for it.
it. The John Ossoff campaign would like to thank you for your endorsement. Thank God.
Thank God they got it. Our community mobilized in ways that others don't. I do think they
listen probably more than you think. There's a new super pack for progressives that want
to help Clair Valdez a new progressive group says it'll spend 10 million to boost preferred
dams and counter pro Israel groups that have spent tens of millions of dollars to shape
primary party primaries of recent years called American priorities and already spent 500
K in North Carolina 04 new super PAC launches the counter apex spending in democratic primaries
American priorities already reported spending more than $500,000 to boost North Carolina
Democrat Nita Allen in her primary challenge against Representative Valerie Fushi.
Why does Squirrel say you want this about AOC for the defensive weapons distinction?
It's because I have already done so, and they know the truth. They know my secret,
Which is that I love giving Israel defensive weapons. It's a little bit of a kink
And uh, I I kind of
It's like a hyper fixation of mine. I love defensive weapons. I love tamir interceptors
specifically
And I think more of them should be deployed on the field
And I I really do I I'm a fan. I'm a I'm a multi fandom enjoyer and one of the fandoms that I enjoy is uh
I live in this lane where like I want Hamas to have Tamir interceptors, but I also want Israel to have them too
Because ultimately I'm a military industrial complex
lobbyist
The reality also is he has the most Obama like new guy to seen potential with good instincts
We likely to see and if he sees the reality of the burning craft populist way
We can fill that role effectively just by being a political animal even if he's in a sincere believer
Yeah, I mean, I still don't trust them though. I don't trust them at all
Like I don't trust John Ossoff at all. I'm just saying that there is like
A lane for that if he chooses to seize on it
Are you centrism maxing? I'm I'm
Well, I'm Lockheed maxing I'm weapon straight maxing I
Don't even think that that will happen for the record
But I don't know if you guys noticed but ever since I came out as a liberal who loves John Assoff and also giving weapons to Israel
My internet hasn't gone out. So I'm gonna keep doing that M is real high M is real high M is real high M is real high
I wonder why you take so much time to make your point and constantly over-explain everything
you say is not like everyone is doing their best to misunderstand you, yeah, and it still
doesn't matter because even in the process of me over-explaining my position over and
over and over again. People will take whatever take away they wanted to have that confirms
their priors on my commentary to begin with. Which is why I'm so fucking tired of hearing
people talk shit about you on Pile Sign Man. You're so consistent. It's maddening. I don't
know how you deal with it. You just fucking keep pushing. Who cares, you know?
Yeah, they're still going to clip and ship but that doesn't that doesn't stop me because
I still believe I still believe that there are people out there who will hear what I have
to say, right?
And okay, and also my call is ready.
Liz Olivia is going to be on the broadcast right now from belly of the beast Liz Olivia
Fernandez and I'm going to be talking to them. They're calling in from Havana.
Hopefully they will have good internet. We're about to find out. I think we did
or we ran a test beforehand. Hello. Can you hear me? Okay, perfect, perfect,
perfect. All right. Let's hear you. I don't know why I can hear you. You can hear me or
you can't hear me. You can't hear me. Hello, can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you but
can it be a little bit loud? Oh, it's not. I'm not loud enough. Let me see if I can,
Oh, no, my input volume is like the highest it can be.
This is the highest it can go.
I mean, I can try to... Do I'm gonna yell?
Like, ah! Is that better?
Hello?
John, can you please pass a C to C cable so I can change the volume because the volume is very low?
It doesn't have to be this one, it's the one that goes through the screen to change it.
I'm not going to have to disconnect this one.
Can you talk now?
Yeah.
Can you hear me now?
Is it a little bit better?
Yeah, it's better now.
Thank you.
Okay, perfect.
By the way, thank you so much for taking the time out and joining the broadcast.
We're live right now and you're in Havana, right?
You're in Havana, Cuba.
You're tuning in from Havana.
Okay, we're gonna get right into it.
Obviously, the American government has decided
to increase the embargo that it already had
for the past 67 years.
And right now, from what I understand,
there's a rolling black house taking place in Cuba,
but can you give us more details
about what the day-to-day experience in Cuba looks like?
Well, right now, the situation's been really complicated
getting worse. For example, the hospital has to cancel other services that are not essential.
So that means that urgent care and emergency rooms are the ones that are running right
now, but the rest, for example, you have an appointment or a surgery that they call
it elective, like catharsis or something like that, that is not necessary to go
go through immediately, you're going to be canceled until no one knows, until what point.
The students from university and college are taking classes from home and the ones who
are coming from different provinces in other parts of the countries are sending home.
And that's it.
You say, well, that's good.
And the problem with Q is that when you don't have electricity, you don't have connections
readily.
The public transportation is almost shut down.
So people just can't move around when they can walk or go in a bike or an electrical
vehicle or something like that.
But you actually can't go farther because that means that you have to pay like a private
taxis and it's getting expensive because the prices of the fuel right now is skyrocketed.
So the situation at all the blackouts they're famous for. I think like right now it's more than
12 hours, 14 hours depends but I'm pretty sure that in the countryside I'm talking about in the
city because you are in the capital right now in Havana but in the countryside the situation
is more awards. Yeah, um, do you want to talk about the different ways in which the Cuban
government currently is getting energy or is it like, uh, is it as dire as the way that has been
presented in, uh, in Western press in general, where, uh, from our understanding, uh, there is
currently no oil on the island whatsoever. And that people are resorting to different means.
Or is there a way to procure oil at the domestic level at all?
Obviously, it's easy enough to make up for the needs, but is there a lifeline at all?
Well, if we keep following the West India West, it will be shut down two weeks ago, I think so.
Cuba produced some oil, it's not good quality oil but we produced some, it's not as you
said enough to maintain the whole country running but it's something and also I think
like the Cuban government is putting a lot of will to increase our city in energy and
renewable energies right now.
our partners are running the 10% of the energy that is to electrical grid nowadays, and they
are trying to increase that capacity.
But that also means that we need to increase our capacity to storage that energy.
Because of course, we are in Cuba and in the Caribbean, we have a lot of sunny days,
but you can control the sun and density.
So you need to try to find a balance that means that you need money for investment
and for create that conditions in order to be able to produce as much energy as the people
demands in Cuba.
Right now there is a lot of some media that has been reporting one cruel oil ship that
is going in Matanzas and another one.
But we don't know for sure how much oil that ships are bringing to Cuba or from where.
I think that that's an information that the government is managed right now and everybody
could understand that this is just a national strategy security because if the United States
knows about this, he's going to put and also he's going to be sanctioned of the country
who is sending oil to Cuba.
This is not like oil for free, we are buying that oil, but even though that country is
on the sanctions.
There's been talks about potentially Russia stepping in, but I feel like given its proximity
and given the fact that the American government has already intercepted oil tankers, leaving
Venezuela and going back to Russia, what's the attitude in the Cuban government as far
as you understand about potentially having Russia play a bigger role here to provide
oil?
Well, we, of course, we are thankful for that, but as you said, Russia is too far away from Cuba.
We are going to buy from Russia, just from Mexico, and it's just in the core, it's able to move.
And it's the content that you have to send us, even like what is happening with Cuba
is like we are out of solutions.
So the people or the countries who are stepping out to help in Cuba is the one who actually
can face United States and in some way can testify what the United States will.
And I think like it's important to people to understand that the oil blockade in Cuba
doesn't start January 26, the oil blockade,
that the US oil blockade to Cuba started in 2019
when the United States during Trump's first term
were sanctioned the shipments like the oil tankers
that were coming with oil to Cuba.
That was when everything like started.
This is just the last chapter.
This is not new.
The blackouts in Cuba are not new.
the scarcity of fuel or gas is not new for us.
Of course, that we have given a lot of crisis
in all these in the last decades,
but this oil blockade is starting in 2019.
And also, United States is not just stopping Cuba
to buy oil from other countries, it's also stopping.
The main incomes are coming to Cuba
with the medical emissions.
Like you say, like Guatemala is shooting them,
Cuba medical missions.
Like there is a lot of small countries in the Caribbean
that has been threatened by the United States.
This is not like an asking or a warning.
This is a threat to the United States
to shoot down the medical missions with Cuba
because they know that this is one of the Cuba's main
sources of income right now, as is tourism.
So.
What's your attitude about tourism
even coming into Cuba right now. Do you feel like it's still a lifeline or because there
is a there's some confusion here in America and in many other places where people have
this attitude that it's more so a burden now on the island rather than a benefit or a
lifeline that like tourists are still coming in.
Well I don't know like what this like worries are coming. I think I understand a little
bit, but Cuba's other country in the Caribbean needs tourism. This is one of our main sources
of income. The way that we manage the tourism is depends on us. For example, I think yesterday
I was having a conversation with people from the United States and it's like you actually
once like Americans come into your country, do you know what they mean? I said, yeah,
We like that.
We go through that during Obama administration.
We know what is increased, but it's like we are able to take that risk because we can
be just too apart from the United States.
It's one of our closest neighbors.
And also, I think the people just understand how beneficial for both countries can be
the cooperation and have just normal relations between the United States and Cuba.
Because at that moment, Cuban companies were coming to Havana to put in money in Havana
to create, and the economy in Cuba was booming.
And the sanctions, like, Obama doesn't leave the sanctions, it's just open in a small window.
And for the first time in many decades, for me, my friends didn't talk about leaving
Cuba.
My friends didn't talk about, like, I need something to help me to escape that island.
Because for this first time they saw that they have a future here, that they can't have
business here, that they just can't survive here, because the relation between Cuba and
the United States, like, we need to survive every day to the US sanctions on Cuba, to the
US policy on Cuba.
And we are tired to be resilience and to have to survive to this situation.
We want to learn how to deal with, of course, that American tourism is bringing a lot
of shell lichens to Cuba. Of course that is, but I really trust that we can manage, at least
we can learn how to manage that in a way that benefits the Cuban people.
Yeah. Speaking of 67 years of sanctions and what kind of impact that has had on the day-to-day
existence of Cubans, what do you say to people that are Cuban immigrants that now
live in the United States of America and who still claim, like Kamiya Kabeo did recently,
that the real reason why the Cuban population is starving and the conditions are getting
worse right now is not because of the starvation brought about by the American government,
instead about the quote unquote regime and its despotic and oppressive nature.
Well, like the whole thing, like when I hear that kind of argument, I just say, okay, let's play
this game, get rid of the sanctions. Let's prove who are really like, let's prove like, let's
Let's get rid of the sanctions without regime change happening because that's the goal.
So if the sanctions actually doesn't cure, let's get rid of them.
And I think like for people that doesn't understand Cuba and believe me like I know that US propaganda
is really good, like you just need to come back to Obama era.
If you say that the sanctions aren't any harm to the Cuban people, let's come back
to there.
ask the people, like the private business that was growing in Cuba and still trying to
grow in the state in Cuba, let's ask them.
And also, if the sanctions doesn't have any weight on this situation, why Americans, Cuban
American politicians are talking about the hunger of the mother, of the suffering of
a child that doesn't have medication, as the price that Cubans who live in Cuba
has to pay in order to get access to freedom. Why? So they know the entire time the Sanctus
has been always affecting the people in Cuba. So they're just like playing this game like
no, no, it's not us, it's the regime, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever. Well, if it's
the regime, just get it of the Sanctus. That's the best way to prove your theory.
Yeah, no absolutely except of course the more and more
public officials in the United States of America are open about the
cruel nature of the sanctions
while they while they are liberated as
They do talk about
sanctions are actually a mechanism to starve the relation
And it's so angry that they overthrow their ship and put a more plunder ship in charge
that is going to put American needs and demands, the demands of the State Department.
And I guess one of the other things that I think about is what we can do here to show
solidarity, to show the perspective of Cubans on the ground.
There's obviously a flotilla that we're working on bringing to Cuba right now.
By the way, this entire time that you and I were having a conversation, your internet
did not cut out at all.
It's perfect.
My internet has been, my internet has been so shaky that there have been numerous instances
where it cuts out and my audience can't even hear what we're saying.
Unfortunately, I'm recording it as well, knowing full well that, you know, there
are going to be issues like this.
just know that you currently have in Havana better internet than I do in West Hollywood,
California in Los Angeles, which is another regular occurrence as a direct consequence of
oligopolies and how much power corporations have here in the United States of America.
But going back to what we were talking about, what can regular Americans do and how do you feel
about initiatives like this flotilla that we're putting together right now?
Well, I first I want to comment something that you said earlier that was about like people who
wants to actually and we're happy and celebrated the sanctions. I need to make clear that sanctions
are collective punishment. If you think that punishment an entire population and make them
to go through hunger, desperation, black house, like they have actually psychological impact
kids like and all the people is a win in order you get to have your freedom
you are not like like actually George that's not a win and and there are things
like if I we actually and I say like I I'm gonna talk my mic for myself I
actually don't believe that and I know that this is maybe the thinking of a
lot of people in Miami maybe that people in the United States the
government of the United States can bring us freedom because in my opinion they are not
able to get freedom to their own people.
How is it possible they are going to bring freedom to myself and to my country that I'm
a black woman so I know what I'm talking about?
And about solidarity, I think like the most important thing because sometimes I just feel
I just have this feeling that I'm talking with the people that think they have the
same mindset than me.
So we are in a kind of a loop repeating the same.
I think that it's important to try to be
open to discussions and to arguments
with people that don't think like us about Cuba,
because there is a lot of misunderstanding
about what is Cuba means.
And forget about us, forget about our life.
I think like, if Cuba lost this battle,
the war is going to last this battle.
Because I think like the Cuba represent
is the danger of the good example.
The things that you actually can achieve
being in a global south with a little bit of support,
but if you care the people,
you actually want to try to bring a change
that represent social justice for them.
And it's like, if we lost that,
if Cuba lost that, the war is gonna lost that
because I'm sure that the United States
gonna make sure that all other Cuba come and rise again.
So that's important.
That's why it's so important and solidarity with Cuba.
And we really appreciate it.
We appreciate that people show up
because the actions talk more than words.
The words are important,
but actions are more important in this moment.
And the words, I'm just like thinking about like
the ways that we are building this kind of relationship
with the words like because in idea world,
We don't need that people actually come to save us because I think we are a capable population
to do the things right and to try to bring and build a future in Cuba.
But because we are in this siege and we don't have any control, any agency of going on with
our life because we don't have any agency of distinction because Cuba as a country
can push back to an empire of the United States.
what is represent, we need all mobilization of people as is possible. We need people to
get educated and get educated right about Cuba. We need like a discussions about critical
thinking. We need like visibility of the war that we are doing inside of Cuba because
I'm tired of people telling me what is happening inside of my own country. I'm talking about
International audience like a mainstream media it's like
You are not talking about how is my life here?
How we face that and it seems like they live in a bubble
That's why I was laughing when you you mentioned about mainstream media
Let's say like with your run of oil soon. You're gonna die soon. No, we don't gonna die some and we have been
Survived so many sin so many things in the past that maybe we can survive to this too
But the thing here is like we are tired
of having to survive.
We are tired of having to be resilient.
And that's a thing.
People are just tired.
You just wanna have access to food, basic food,
access to medication.
Cuba used to produce the 60% of the medications
that we consume inside of Cuba.
How is possible that a country
that is able to create a medication against Alzheimer
that actually works a medication against like a lung cancer,
like a vaccine for COVID in mouth is not able to have syringes.
It doesn't have enough like tools or materials to take care of their own people.
How is this possible that we get to this situation right now?
Yeah. I mean, that is the reason, like you said, it's a, it's a danger.
It's a threat of a good promise and alternative that, that, uh,
is the reason why America has endlessly punished Cuba, um,
for the crime of having sovereignty and dignity.
What would you say to,
because there are a lot of Cuban fans that I have,
and Cuban American fans that I have
that are obviously sympathetic,
given my ideological background, given my advocacy,
but they have conversations with their relatives all the
time who, as I'm sure you're aware of,
do not agree at all and do maintain the same position
of Camilla Cabello and many others, Marco Rubio,
people who even lie about why they left Cuba.
I don't know if you know,
do you know that Bob Menendez and Ted Cruz
and Marco Rubio all left Cuba under Batista
and they lie in America all the time
and say they fled Fido Castro and Che Guevara?
Isn't that crazy?
Yeah, we did a documentary about this, Harlan and the Heartbreak Development.
So yeah, but that's it.
And like, for me, like, I understand that, well, when I have,
and we were sharing that documentary, it's by the FDBs, it was during 2023,
two documentaries in the United States, Harlan and the Hawkson and Upheal on the Hill.
I have the opportunity to go to Union City that is in New
York City and to talk to Cuban Americans, hardliners,
Republicans, Democrats, some of them,
but the most of them hardliners.
And I really have a really good moment with this couple
of elder people that was just talking about how much anger
and danger this regime in Cuba made to them.
And it was so tush for the way that they were talking to me
about, because they were saying, like,
sorry if this is hurting your feelings in some way.
They say, no, no, no.
But I can feel that they actually love Cuba.
And they actually want the better for the people in Cuba
for the families, the relatives that they left behind.
I can feel it, even when we don't think the same.
And I'm pretty sure that this government
with as the same like other governments
that can mean like a lot of things that are not
acceptable, that we are not proud of that.
But I think like it's important to talk about reconciliation
and it's important to talk about forgiveness.
Because I think like the boss of what we have in common
is like the love that we feel for Cuba.
They are not agree with the sanctions,
but they're not really decision-making for the same reasons than me.
They were not agree with the sanctions because they say,
we don't believe in the sanctions because the sanctions are the excuse that the
Cuban government use. So they, even they are not agree with the sanctions.
Yeah. But that's, but that's good. That's okay.
Whichever, whichever way we live the sanctions, I'm happy with a worker
I know it goes into that, but I really can feel that they have like a profound love for Cuba.
And I think like the people, when they talk about Cuban Americans in general, I think like,
I understand that hurts a lot, and there is a lot of feelings, and there is a lot of
trauma that needs to be healed in both eyes, but I think like, you can't desire the
worse to the people that you left behind. That's not Cuba. That's maybe Miami, but that's not Cuba.
So that's why I get offended. Yeah, that's why I get offended when the people say,
oh, Miami's Cuba is not Cuba. I feel like the feeling is the same because if you have the
opportunity to come to Cuba as an American, people are going to love you, going to like
embrace you, hug you, because that's the way it is. And people understand the differences
between the governments. It's not a difference because, as I say, it's not like there's not
a balance there. But they understand that it's the government who wants to hurt us. It's
not the people. So we embrace the people. We deserve the best for the people. So that's
why when Katrina, the hurricane Katrina hit the United States, Cuba won one of the first
country to say, hey, we have a doctor of regates ready to go.
And we put in Henry Riv because he was a US citizen fighting
in our independence.
So we are always ready to help the United States.
And people need to understand that better
relations with the United States,
normal relations with the United States
between the United States and Cuba,
is also good and benefit the United States.
Because how can you pretend that you're going to,
This is stabilized a country that is 90 miles away from you and it's not going to hit you in your face.
If the situation in Cuba gets really critical, where do you think that the people in Cuba is going to go?
Jamaica? No, it's going to go to the United States.
It's the way it works.
So you don't and also if you want to do business in Cuba, you don't want to do business in a country that is completely this is stabilized.
So I think like a people also needs to understand like and all this damage is has been doing
with the tax, the money that the taxpayers paid.
This is not money that is, is putting in place in the United States in order to get to the
people better life, very conditioned, but it acts as to health care, whatever, it's
just the money that they are spending to try to, they call it democracy promotion
program, but they are really regime change program. They're trying to harm people. They're
trying to suffocate, addphyxiate, and also kill people. That's not fair for the new
office. Yeah, it's, you know, we can't even fix our own democracy. And then we act as
though we want to bring about democracy. But I think a lot of Latin American
countries know when America starts talking about bringing about democracy,
they mean regime change. They mean the installation of a puppet that is more
with the interests of their super wealthy.
It is to rid countries of their sovereignty and dignity.
That's the primary goal here for Cuba as well.
Are there any parting words you'd like to leave with us?
Thank you so much for coming on by the way.
And I do really appreciate the work that you do
at Belly the Beast because I think
I'm sure you also know voices
are oftentimes presented in American media are voices that are aligned with the State Department
that present a completely false narrative. And it's very rare that there are any opportunities to
hear from Cubans living in Cuba that have a very different perspective than the only one that is
unfortunately heard in mainstream news. Do you have any parting words for the audience and where
where can people find you?
No, not just.
Thank you for the opportunity to be here today.
And also, I highly recommend people
follow Billy of the Bees War in all social platforms
because we are a small independent media outlet.
So we need all the support that we can get.
Yeah.
And I'll be seeing you when I get to Havana in a month
or so.
So, you know, hopefully.
Yeah, that's perfect.
All right.
Yeah.
All right.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for coming out.
Bye, it is a pleasure.
Bye bye.
That was Liz Olivia Fernandez,
Cuban journalist from Belly of the Beast,
and it was a fantastic opportunity
we got to have a conversation here.
This is one of the things that I talk about all the time
as far as like how fortunate I am.
I never thought that I would ever have the opportunity
be able to talk to people that oftentimes do not have a voice in mainstream news by design.
And I'm glad that we are able to shred through that hegemony to the best of our ability in
this community.
So, you know, spread this talk to your talk to your parents if you have, you know, Cuban
parents and show them examples such as this.
And uh, yeah.
Amazon chat was rude and mean.
Yeah, I don't care.
I know.
And I recorded it on my end as well, uh, just to make sure that, uh, even if there are
like breaking points, uh, we can upload a, a clearer, a, a, a better upload on YouTube
as well.
But yeah, I wanted to make sure that people understand that like
The only person I've seen ever seen covered Cuba. Thank you so much for having someone on who could talk about it from their own perspective
Yeah, I you know, there are some other plea there's some other places chapel did an interview with her as well
Recently, I urge you to check it out. It's very good
um
I just like I mean she's much nicer than I am about like America and americans and how they
how they just go about their daily lives, but like Cuba is one of those incredible examples
that like the moment that you learn about what we have done to Cuba and to Cubans in
general and how we have kept up that pressure is a moment that forever changes you like
it's it's one of those things where you're like this is the most fucked up most evil
country okay it's it's truly it's it's truly one of the most insane ongoing
psychopathic bloodthirsty things that we do and because American cruelty is on
autopilot we don't even fucking think about it okay
It's just it's it's mind boggling as a
Venison who bought all the regime probably and I really appreciate your coverage and opening my eyes a white place like Cuba and Venezuela actually struggle. Yeah
Yeah Cubans are
Some of the best people we have on this side of the hemisphere
As an apology, we should just give Florida the cuba man. I don't think they I don't think they would want that. Let's be real. Oh
My god
Anyway, yeah, that is not a gift. That's a fucking cancer
Anyway
All right, let's get back to the American design of evil and how silly we are.
Another awesome navigation moment, Sienna was constantly asking Bernie about Newsome.
I know.
funny that you mentioned this because I already had a conversation with elix about this. Yes,
of course, CNN also asked Bernie Sanders about fucking Gavin Newsom. It's the most understandable.
It would be journalistic malpractice, not to. Okay. This is why you can't listen to fucking
dumbass liberals on the timeline be like, Oh, his phone was trying to advance his own
personal petty vindictive agenda and Bernie Sanders was based and didn't actually lean
into it. Yeah, they're fucking stupid. Those people are dumb. They're brainbroken by fucking
drama. Of course, KTLA also asked Bernie Sanders about his thoughts on Gavin Newsom advocating
against the fucking billionaire tax. I think your rotisserie chicken in the bag is done.
It's so funny, it's so funny to say Kaya is looking like a rotisserie chicken with the halo lighting that she has because she does.
She does.
It's so cute.
She looks yummy, I'm going to take a bite out of her in a second.
She's baking.
And they're a foreign country centric.
They were sending things into our country, and the people representing them knew full
well.
But they were sending things into our country, and they were beneficial to other countries,
but very, very bad for us.
And I stopped it, and we'll just keep it going.
So we have more of a, we have a totally firm decision now.
I don't think the court meant it, because the court doesn't show great spirit toward
our country, in my opinion, a lot of bad decisions.
But there are usually ways around it.
This is something we could have done, as Justice Gabbana said, we could have done this originally,
but we're doing it now.
And the numbers could be far greater than the hundreds of billions we've already taken
in the past.
Yeah, please.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Mr. President, I'm very curious, if you spoke enough.
the red thank you so much Mr. President Justice Thomas and Alito as you know the most conservative
constitutional justices do you think that you'll get to a point two more justices later this term
with similar ideologies and what type of vetting process will they grow go through to ensure the
uphold I don't know by the way speaking at Cuba before we ended here on the Cuba talks
stop the siege on Cuba campaign launch is going to happen on February 22nd
Again, this weekend in two days at 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific, hosted by Brandon James of
no colin of the blowback podcast.
So if you are wondering how you can actually play a role here, you can, you can participate
that way as well as sponsored by the SAIC America's committee, subcommittee and the,
and the, the, the, the byline is the Trump administration has opened a new front in decades
in its decades long assault on Cuba, cutting off the islands, access to oil, choking
energy grid and accelerating a humanitarian crisis for 10 million people. This is a deliberate
act of economic warfare as a siege. Join us for the national launch of stop the siege
and new DSA campaign to fight its escalation, send material aid, build a powerful legislative
push and change the narrative around Cuba in the United States will be joined by special
guest Noah Colwood and Brendan James of the blowback podcast.
This is also why it's important. Like this is not me glazing, uh, our boys here or myself
here, but like you never, you never hear this fucking perspective. You never hear this perspective
as CNN. You don't hear this perspective and make sure news at all. All you hear is fucking
Anna Navarro talking about how the contrasts were awesome and how Cuba deserves less.
Okay. So I'm glad that fucking there is independent news out there. I'm glad that their independent
news exists out there who actually does offer this fucking perspective. Now obviously our
reach is limited in the grand scheme of things, but we will try to do our very best with the
limited amount of power that we have. That is my commitment. My commitment is to the
truth. My commitment is to helping people to the best of my ability, and I will continue
to do this. And I hope you can too.
So for all the haters, all the naysayers, all the people who are like, why are you doing
this?
Why are you doing this?
Are you bringing oil?
Are you bringing oil to the island?
Like a big part of this fucking conversation revolves around changing people's minds
by showing them the truth, by offering a platform to those who rarely ever get heard.
Okay?
Everyone has a different role to play here.
And you can make that change just as you all played a role in making this change
that in the C shift and the attitude shift about uh Palestinian existence, the broad awareness
initiatives that you participated in, the direct actions that you participated in, the demands for
boycotts that you still continue to participate in, you can play a role. You're you are not as
powerless as those nihilists fucking present you as and you have to remember that, okay?
You have to remember that.
Every little bit helps.
Don't listen to fucking dumb fucks who don't do anything, but just farm drama on the internet tell you that you're you're
Every every little thing that you're doing is actually irrelevant in the grand scheme of things when you if you're not like nuking
Washington DC, then you're not doing the right thing that you haven't done anything. Okay. I hate that shit
very, very frustrating. Anyway, let's get back to our dumbass president.
But they are great justices, that's all I can say, and I hope they're going to be around
a long time. I hope they're going to stay healthy. They're great people, they're great
and justice Alito too, to enter the group. These are great men with a great love of
of our country and a great understanding of the law.
Are you going to ask Congress to take additional action on tariffs now?
I mean, I would ask Congress and probably get it.
When people look at the real numbers, and you look at hundreds of billions of dollars
that have come into our country, yesterday I was at a steel plant, as you know, and
went to great, great place, great plant, great wonderful people. And they were telling me,
I said to them, you were there, a lot of the press in this room. Of course, I don't think
there's planes big enough to take the press in this room, but a lot of the press right
here in Georgia. And I said to the owner, I made a speech at a factory, they made
steel products. And I said, how are you? Nice to meet you. House business president.
I'd love to kiss you.
This is a very powerful man.
I don't want to be kissed by that man, but a very powerful,
strong man.
He's been in the steel business for many years.
His father started it.
And he said, sir, I want to kiss you.
I said, why?
He said, because we were down to work in one hour a week,
and then you came in and imposed tariffs.
And all of that foreign junk that they were dropping
into our country stopped.
And we're now going to double shifts seven days a week.
And we may be very soon going to 24 hours around the
clock, almost seven days a week.
He said, sir, I want to kiss you so badly.
And I said, no, thank you.
But you know what?
He just finalized it.
He said, oh, this is a great place in Georgia.
He said, all up and down the highway.
Same exact answer, sir.
We're all going out of business.
We're going to go bankrupt.
We're all going out of business.
And now every one of us are thriving, and we're hiring
people like we haven't.
He said, like, I've never, and he's been in business for,
I think, 45 years like we've never hired before.
That's because of tariffs.
And we're going to keep it going the same way.
And you're going to start to see the results in a year
from now when all those factories that are under
construction right now, you see all the construction
numbers are so good.
Those construction workers are building factories that are
going to be open, including not only AI, which is big, but car
plants coming in from Canada, who ripped us off at 30% of our
market. Mexico ripped us off for a big portion over the years.
They've taken our market, they've taken our cars, they
manufacture them in Japan, Germany, and all over the
place. Because nobody standing in this position, the
position I have as president of the United States, had the
The insight, the current, I don't know what it is to charge tariffs.
You can make your product outside, you can put our people out of business, you can put
everybody on the unemployment rolls.
But if you're going to make a car in some other country, you're going to pay a 15%,
20%, 30% tariff.
And those things would have never happened.
We wouldn't have lost our business.
Same thing with, as an example, Taiwan.
Taiwan came in, they stole our chip business, they made chips for 30 years.
longer they may chip, chip, chip, and they put our companies into it would be now the
largest company I saved Intel.
I literally saved it at the beginning of this administration.
And now all those companies in Taiwan are building factories in Arizona, Texas, and various
other places because they don't want to pay tariffs.
They're all pouring into the United States.
But just like that great patriot said yesterday, sir, what you've done, nobody thought was
possible.
And Steve Moore, a highly respected economist, came into my office yesterday and said, you've
done something nobody's ever done.
Twenty-two Nobel Prize winners in economics said we would right now be in a recession
and you said, no, we're going to have a booming country, we're going to have a
booming country.
You were right.
all 22 were wrong and you were right. This country is booming and it's booming because
of the election on November 5th and it's booming for another reason. It's booming because
of tariffs. Yeah, please.
Thank you, Mr. President. What was said ahead of the decision that it is the Supreme Court
will do?
Yeah, please, go ahead.
Thank you, Mr. President. What will you say to foreign nations who seek to renegotiate
their deals? And what did you mean a moment ago when you said that the Supreme
Court has been swayed by foreign interests?
I think that foreign interests are represented by people that I believe have undue influence,
have a lot of influence over the Supreme Court, whether it's through fear or respect or friendships.
I don't know.
But I know some of the people that were involved on the other side, and I don't like them.
I think they're real slime balls and kind of do what's right for the country.
You got to do what's right for the Constitution.
That's why I respect so much Justice Thomas and Alito, Kavanaugh, because they not only
dissented, their dissent is so strong.
When you read their dissent, a lot of times you'll read the dissent and it's like, well,
you don't know, it could go either way.
There's no other way.
The good news is, it's like Justice Kavanaugh said, very strongly said, you have other
ways you can go.
You don't have to go that way.
You can go other way.
There are numerous other ways you can go.
And frankly, this should have been done by presidents many years ago.
They allowed our country to be eaten alive.
We lost 50% of our car business.
We used to make cars.
We made all the cars.
And then Mexico came, Canada came, Japan and Germany.
But they're all coming back now.
Just remember Donald Trump did NAFTA 2 for the record.
After running on an anti-NAFTA position, he literally did NAFTA 2 when that was like
one of his first trade deals that he put together. So whenever he talks about that shit, it's like
just know that it's bullshit. Like he understated. It's even more fucked up because he understands
the economic devastation that has been brought about due to NAFTA at the behest of capital
and is still very much a servant of capital first and foremost. You will always do the
the bidding of wealthy people will come back at record level
please
i'm not
talking about it
i don't talk to cnn inspectors
president yesterday
hot as it's been a long time jane iraq jobs for the expectations cpi report
the expectation real wages
what would you tell americans were worried that this decision will kind of
grow the economy that you have projected going in the right direction in a very rat pace off
track. Well, thank you for the question. And I will say this, uh, bro, bro, brother, brother.
Oh my God. I'm going to talk about Iran in a second. Don't worry.
We really are at a very important point. I've been waiting for this decision so long. They
could have made this decision a long time ago. Not complex. They're wrong on it. It's a ridiculous
decision. But they should have released this a long time ago. We waited months. And that
gave uncertainty. Now we have certainty. And I think you're going to see the country
get much stronger because of it. Look, we were ripped off by almost every country in
world. If you look at the surpluses, almost every country in the world that did business
with us, our people were stupid. And I blame presidents for it because they're ultimately
the leader. We're being ripped off by almost every single country in the world had massive
– some massive surpluses. China had hundreds of billions of dollars in surpluses with
the United States. They rebuilt China. They rebuilt the army. We built China's army
by allowing that to happen.
I have a great relationship with President Xi, but he respects our country now.
Now, what we've done, I charged China a 20 percent tariff as a penalty for sending fentanyl
in.
And that was 20 times more than they could make by selling fentanyl.
And I said, you know, at some point you're going to say, like, and they have reduced
it.
You know, fentanyl is down by more than 30 percent coming into our country.
Part of that is a strong border.
We have a strong border now.
But thank you. Thank you for your question.
Mr. President, you sure you warned once in a social media post that if the Supreme Court
did this, shot down your tariffs, the U.S. would be, quote, financially defenseless. Are we
financially defenseless?
No, because we're doing something in a different way. We're doing something in a very powerful
way. And we're using things that some people thought we should have used in the
first place. But it's more complicated. It's a little more complicated. The process
This takes a little more time, but the end result is going to get us more money.
And I think it's going to be great, yes.
Peter, go ahead.
Thank you, President Trump.
So since liberation day, there's about $175 billion in tariff revenue that is now in
limbo.
Do you have to refund $175 billion?
Thank you, Peter.
Fair question.
They take months and months to write an opinion.
And they don't even discuss that point.
We've taken in hundreds of billions of dollars, not millions, hundreds of billions of dollars.
And so I said, well, what happens to all the money that we took in?
It wasn't discussed.
Wouldn't you think they would have put one sentence in there saying that keep the money
or don't keep the money, right?
I guess it has to get litigated for the next two years.
So they write this terrible, defective decision, totally defective.
It's almost like not written by smart people and what they do, they don't even talk about
that.
Your question is very basic.
That was the first question I asked also to make you feel good.
You say, what about all the money that we've taken in?
Sir, they don't discuss that.
How crazy is that?
Are you saying that you don't plan to honor refunds for companies that file for them?
I just told you the answer, right?
I told you the answer.
It's not discussed.
We'll end up being in court for the next five years.
Go ahead. Green.
Go ahead. Green.
Thank you, Mr. President. When you were talking about the relationship with countries that
you have sought trade deals with, do you anticipate that they will seek to renegotiate those?
What do you say to them? And do you view this as a potential undermining power?
Well, we're going straight ahead with 10 percent, straight across the board, which
was the absolute right to do. And that's taking place. It's a lot of money coming
into a country. And then during that period of about five months, we are doing the various
investigations necessary to put fair tariffs or tariffs period on other countries. So we're
doing that period, but we're immediately instituting the 10% provision, which we're allowed to do.
And in the end, I think we'll take in more money than we've taken in before.
Mr. President, you've used the tariff revenue to pay for a host of federal policies, you
claimed that they'll pay for them.
What happened?
Well, it's the farmers.
We took care of farmers.
You know, the farmers were mistreated by foreign countries very badly, very, very badly.
And last week I gave them $12 billion out of tariff money.
We intend to out of tariff money because just so you understand, we have tariffs.
just have them in a different way. And now they've been confirmed by the Supreme Court
of the United States. So there's no longer that question out there about tariffs, and
we'll be taking in hundreds of millions of dollars.
When he says he's taking care of the farmers, he means the Argentinian farmers. Okay. Because
that's who actually won big. When China was like, okay, we'll just get our soybean
from Argentina instead. Fuck you. Big W. And then Trump was like, well, I would reward you
even further. Here's $40 billion. Here is $40 billion. I want to give it to you. I want to
give it to you so bad. Javier Malay, this guy, he's so handsome. I'd kiss him. I'd kiss
him in the mouth, but I won't do it. You'll call me gay. No homo. I'll kiss him right
in the mouth.
Who is them?
What are they supposed to do?
Farmers farming?
Please clarify.
Wait, what?
I already explained it to you.
I just explained it to you.
Did you not hear it?
When Donald Trump implemented a tariffs war with China, China said, bet we're no longer
getting soybeans from the American agricultural soybean producers, which China was purchasing
soybeans from and said, we'll just purchase them from Argentina.
So then they turned around and purchased the soybeans from the Argentinian farmers.
Good, soy is gay, yes.
Go tell that to the American Heartland chatter.
Take it out with them.
They were making China gay with our American soybeans in an effort to combat, in an effort
to fight against China.
We were making China gay with our soy.
But now it's Argentinian soy that's making China gay instead of our soy.
You can thank Donald Trump for that.
And countries that have been good to us will be treated very well.
We just left the top person in a place called Vietnam, just left my office.
gentlemen, strong and smart, he said, you know, I think this means you're allowed to
charge us more tariffs than before. And Canada said to Jameson, I might want to
say it, Jameson, but Canada said, I hope you win this decision because if you
don't win, you'll actually be allowed to charge us with a little additional work,
higher tariffs. Jameson, you want to comment on that? Yes, sir. So the
President's point, we have a lot of tools out there in section 122, which we implemented today,
it will be signed today, implemented very shortly. In section 301 investigations, which are incredibly
legally durable, where we can address investigate and address unfair training practices that have
led to our huge trade deficit. So you can look forward in the coming days and weeks to see
all of that come out. Yeah. So unfair. What Laos has done to us?
is so fucking unfair. When I think about unfair trade practices, immediately my mind, my mind
rushes and reaches out to Cambodia, a nation state that is for far too long, taking advantage
of the unfair trade practices between us and them.
I think about France. I think about European countries that refuse to purchase our F450
pickup trucks? Will we make different cars for the European market that are smaller? Sure.
Sometimes we do that. Okay. But I think we need, we need them to purchase, not selfishly,
our chlorinated chicken and our F 450 pickup trucks. And we need them to say we love it.
Yeah. Laos, a country in which cyber crime and heroin is over 70% of the GDP. They're
taking so much advantage of us what we need to do is starve them. Okay.
What we need to do is, is write this wrong. They need to purchase with all of the revenue
that they get from the cyber crime. They need to start purchasing American F-150s right now,
a fleet of trucks. We're going to keep continuity in the program. Also, Brazil,
Brazil, although there's a trade surplus from Brazil, they can still fuck off.
Why?
Because I felt like it.
Okay?
I don't like that they're the bee in bricks.
So guess what?
Brazil, you can get one too.
Also unfair.
Unfair in a different direction.
Okay?
Unfair in the opposite direction.
I've decided you can also get one too.
You notice how stupid this fucking, like universal tariffs agenda is when you break
it down, even with the logical reasons that they are presenting.
If you say it's trade surplus, there's a fuck ton of countries that just cannot make up
for that, okay?
It's just never gonna happen.
That's not how anything works, okay?
If you say it's a trade surplus related problem, then why the fuck are you tariffing
Brazil?
That doesn't make sense either.
If you say it's fentanyl trafficking, well, that's not an appropriate tool to
the fucking deal with fentanyl trafficking at all.
So I don't even know what that purpose would look like, what purpose that would serve.
Like what are these other countries supposed to do?
Also, where is the fentanyl coming from?
It's coming from China.
And in some instances, this is coming from Mexico as well, like the chemical compounds.
But they're not even coming through, like they're not even coming through the border
in the way that Donald Trump has presented it.
And if it was actually coming from border crossings, then Mexico has been very
compliant with offering additional safeguards to ensure that people actually don't come to
the United States of America. They actually do not come. They remain in Mexico, right?
So that doesn't make any sense either. None of it makes sense. And it's ironic because
the other reason as to why this like trade protectionism is taking place, trade protectionism
only make sense if you have a domestic industry that is competitive that can make up for the
additional demand. We don't really have that for many of these things that we're fucking
offering trade protectionism to such as coffee, which simply is not made in the United States.
Like you can't, you can't just make coffee. You can't just grow coffee like that. Okay.
We just don't have to fucking climb it for it. Okay. And, and plenty of other
good as well, cocoa, coffee, things like that. But, but on top of that, there is no domestic
industrial output that we are heavily investing in right now, and neither are the fucking foreign
companies. They're not, they're not doing that either. He just says they keep giving
us assurances over and over again. They're going to give us tens of trillions of fucking
dollars and that's it.
We're going to keep addressing this so that the deficit can keep going down, that the
trend it has, and we can make America great again.
Several of Republicans in Congress have supported this decision by the Supreme Court.
And how can Jeffries, the Democratic leader, as close to one of you can't?
Why wouldn't he even know?
I watched him the other day interview.
The guy doesn't even know what a tariff is.
But there's been bipartisan criticism.
No, not bipartisan.
Excuse me.
There's several few people.
A few people.
Yeah.
A few people.
Why wouldn't you just work with Congress to come up with a plan?
I don't have to.
To push tariffs.
I have the right to do tariffs.
And I've always had the right to do tariffs.
And it's all been approved by Congress, so there's no reason to do it.
All we're doing is we're going through a little bit more complicated process, not
complicated very much, but a little more complicated than what we had.
be able to take in tariffs, more tariffs, and the Congress people and the Congress
The Canadian tariffs last week, there's been votes in a Senate against it?
Yeah, because we lost two Republicans or three Republicans because they're not good
Republicans. What you don't say, see you don't say that we had, that we got
215 votes. Yeah, sure we do. We might have lost three votes and we got, and
what was the score on the Republican side? Two fifteen to three, right? But
You don't say that.
We have great unity.
There's great unity in the Republican Party,
and I hope everyone's going to vote Republican
because otherwise you won't have a country left
because these people have been destroying.
They are destroying our country.
Please.
Mr. President, the 122 tariffs, that 10 percent.
Yeah, is that going to be for 150 days
or do you want to charge that indefinitely?
We have a right to do pretty much what we want to do,
but we're going to charge it starting effectively.
I think it's three days from now.
Yeah, please.
Mr. President, I used to be to a lot of factory workers,
a lot of manufacturing workers.
What does the Supreme Court ruling say?
What's that message to those factory workers?
Well, I think the factory workers are happy
because we're now telling them that they're gonna,
look, the man I met with yesterday who owned a factory
who's out of business, he was out of business.
And now he's employing five times.
In fact, I walked in, he's got a brand new crane,
a branch that, how old is that crane?
We got it in December, he's allowed to write it off
in one way. The great, big, beautiful act gave no tax on tips, no tax on social security,
no tax on overtime. He said this great, big, beautiful bill, frankly, has been the best
thing that's ever happened for the workers of the – much more so than for rich people.
The only thing it does for rich people, it allows them to hire a lot more people.
But when I saw him and then he said, it's all up and down the line. This is
a place in Georgia, all up and down.
Other factories doing different, not only steel products,
different.
He said every one of us was out of business.
We could barely make it.
Some of them were down to less than an hour a week.
Think of it, one hour a week to make just a few little
trinkets or whatever they make.
Now they're going round the clock.
I had it a month ago.
I went to Michigan, went to Fort.
And I met with Bill Fort, the head of Fort.
And we were in one of the biggest plants, an original plant
from the early 1900s, where, by the way, just I might add this,
it's not really relevant, but it's all relevant.
Murders are down the lowest since 1900, around the time
that he had this plant.
That's 125 years we have the lowest of murder rate.
OK.
And our crime is way down in the country.
The factories that we're talking about,
the people that we're talking about,
They are so thrilled with Trump.
So whether we charge IEPA tariffs
or whether we charge tariffs under a different section,
that's all.
Yeah, factories were so on board.
When he visited the Ford facility,
the UAW, the UAW Regifile was calling him
a pedophile protector.
Ha.
We're gonna be doing.
There's no way we can elaborate.
This is what happened to our country.
This is why we owe $38 trillion,
which we'll get rid of in pretty good course.
We have a very incompetent Fed chairman
who likes high interest rates for political reasons.
He likes them, but we're gonna have somebody very good.
Interest rates should come down very substantially.
I think we should pay the lowest interest rates
on the planet.
There should be no country, and we don't do that.
We're number 38.
This is just bad policy for a long period of time.
But what's happened is we've made America strong again.
We've made America great again.
We should pay.
As an example, the country of Switzerland,
we were getting almost no tariffs from then.
We had a $40 billion deficit.
And the prime minister called me up.
She said, but we are a small country,
because I said we're going to raise it to 39% from nothing.
That would have rendered them not very successful,
as opposed to right now they're considered elite.
But if we put a tariff, and I realized then, she said,
but sure, we are a small country.
I said, you're a small country with a big deficit for us.
You make it a lot of money off the United States.
If we do that, a lot of these elite countries,
they're elite because we let them make so much money.
And I want them to do well,
but I don't want them to do well.
There's only one group,
even within the capitalist class,
there's only one group that has made out like bandits
in this new trade design, okay?
Before Donald Trump came in
and decided to like switch it around a little bit.
And that is finance capital, okay?
If you're a real estate guy and you're mad about it
or your buddies are fucking frustrated
with the way things have gone,
Why are you dick-riding finance capital? Why don't you actually call them out? Why don't you and why are you also giving them
Additional rewards right now. I mean Howard Ludnick is standing right next to him
Howard Ludnick
Is literally standing a couple feet away from him smiling from fucking ear to ear. He's like yeah, it's great
It's great. It's been great mr. President. You're doing great. You're doing fucking fantastic for me
It's crazy.
And obviously, you know, Big C capital is already across the board made out like bandits
because they've just like, they've just moved into the world of finance capital.
That's it.
That's why every major company, every major industry in this country is now a bank.
Okay.
You know, we don't build things.
We don't make things anymore.
It's just pure speculation, stock buybacks, and financial engineering.
That's all it is.
Every company is a fucking bank.
Starbucks is a bank, Apple is a bank, Boeing is a bank.
And that's what I mean when I say finance capital.
And then we just get mad.
We're like, why don't we build shit anymore?
I don't know.
Maybe because your solution to the problem of debankifying all of the big titans of industry
is making them behave more like banks.
This is what happens when you're rudderless, when you are a servant of capital that simply
does not want to change the system at all.
He just wants to have the appearance of moving and shaking.
the backs of the American taxpayer. So I appreciate your question, I think it's like
a piece of cake.
President Trump, you said that you were disappointed with that, but were you surprised because
the station where-
Why are you stuck in this loop? You already know move your chat further, Jesus fucking
Christ.
What?
Were you proud when you-
I was surprised-
Sorry, hold on, let me hit the revolution now button.
I'm gay and Lebanese!
sorry that's the wrong button hold on hold on i got the
i got the right one the revolution now but i hate white people i hate white people
okay that's
not happening maybe maybe this one
it's time
communism now
rise because i thought
that what we did was number one according to
i mean i read the paragraphs i read very well
Great comprehension.
I read everything it was to read, and I said,
we can't lose this case.
But we can when judges are political, when they want to
be politically correct, when they're catering to a group
of people in DC, maybe.
I don't know what it is, because when you read it, there's
no other interpretation.
There is no other interpretation.
But it's OK, because what has come out, I'll say it
for the third time and maybe the last time in a while,
is that we've taken the uncertainty of tariffs out
because we had uncertainty.
We got sued by please bags.
I know he's, he's literally saying it's good.
He spent the first 35 minutes saying it's very bad.
And now he's saying, but it's good actually, right?
He's like, it's very bad that the Supreme court
took away my power to issue tariffs
in this ridiculous manner.
But also we have other options,
but also it's good that they took this power away from me
because now we have certainty
fucking awesome
well
uh... that are very outside country china centric but outside country
centric
uh... and they're gonna end up not doing
as well as they did before america was becoming really really with what's wrong
again
we have
the strongest military bill i read what the focus that bro focus with
maw's that shit is annoying as fuck stop playing that shit no one wants to hear that dumb fuck second time up to the stream to hear
That shit through my speakers chat
Show show this charlatan whether or not you actually appreciate the soundboard
Subscribe now to the Parker brock as a service and gift subs now to the Parker brock as a service if you actually like the fuck is soundboard
Now the reason why I and look there you go there you have it
Sanctuary on I think the people want the people want this
Okay, hold on. I think where the fuck is it? I keep losing. I have so many buttons on this bad boy. It's crazy
Okay, first of all
Congratulations, I do think that
I think that people actually do really like the soundboard. That's number one number two number two
Okay, I think the people want to hear this
You're a cat
Okay, you're shedding you're shedding too much you're shedding too much
Bro
This is dick suck mountain all over again. No for me, I don't think these guys understand that
How did chapeau get Kyrie on before you chapeau had Kyrie Irving on shut the fuck up
Shut the fuck up. No, I just dm Kyrie Irving. I was like king
Please come on the broadcast ain't no fucking way they got cha chapeau did I
Just got guest mug I got guest mug
It's over. It's over. RIP. RIP to me. I got no motion. I got no motion. Um, so the thing
I was going to say about the soundboard is like when people say shit like this, when
people say stuff like this, I don't really mind it. You know, it might not be for you,
but from my perspective, the reason why I like the soundboard is when, whenever
someone says something like annoying whenever someone says something annoying
I can just like gesture max my way out of it wait full chopo interview with

Oh
Have you watched the skateboarding journals? Give the hater joys a very bit hate wave at a soundboard in your studies soundboard usage, please
No
Anyway, let's continue I
Know enough ball. I know enough ball to know that ball is life you built the military in the first term
We have the most powerful military. We make the best equipment
And even them, you know, we have to, we could do much better.
We have people that could pay a lot of money to manufacture
Patriot missiles and javelins and all the different things.
But when you want them, they're too slow and we put them on notice
and they're going to make our country is is building a lot of things right now.
And our country is doing really well.
And we're going to keep it that way.
The bottom line is that the word certainty is now in the equation.
Every single thing I said today is guaranteed certainty.
It's been tested, as Jamieson said, a thousand times.
Literally, I said hundreds of times,
he said there are actually thousands of times,
and one in all of the courts.
And we're just going back to that.
He's lost chicken.
The problem is that we had other presidents that weren't
into trade.
Maybe they weren't business oriented.
Maybe they weren't smart.
We had some dummies too, you know, respectfully say we had some real dummies.
So, so we are going to keep it going just as before, probably more so.
But it's, you know, longer going to be asked every time I got up, you'd ask,
well, what happens if you can't charge that now we can.
And by the way, in their decision, they specifically said, we can do these.
We have alternatives. Yeah.
On the trade deals that were negotiating,
Maybe Kyrie knew you had a black Hebrew-Israelite mod. He come on. Yeah, that's true. I'm gonna tell him that
You know stand now or are they have to be well, some of them stand many of them stand some of them won't and they'll be replaced with the other
Are they still invited to your state of the Union next week and please yeah, they are invited barely
barely. Three are happily invited. No, no, they're barely, they're barely invited.
Honestly, I couldn't care less if they come. Okay? Thank you, Mr. President.
On the trade deal, which is the framework which is signed, to be signed with India
sometimes soon, will that stand now? Nothing changes. Nothing changes.
there'll be paying tariffs and we will not be paying tariffs.
I deal with India as they pay tariffs with.
This is a reversal for what it used to be, as you know.
India, and I think Prime Minister Modi is a great
gentleman, a great man, actually.
But he was much smarter than the people that he was
against in terms of the United States.
He was ripping us off in India.
So we made a deal with India, and it's a fair deal now,
and we are not paying tariffs to them, and they
are paying tariffs.
We did a little flip.
Thank you so much, Mr. President, I think there's another war that you should think of,
which is in Syria.
Secretary Rabiou, after his meeting in Munich with the Syrian Foreign Minister and the
Kurdish General Muslim Abdi, he said that President Trump was directly involved with
involved with new forces, stop the fighting between the Kurds and the Syrians. How will
the administration will make sure that this piece is sustained? And do you support the idea?
Well, it's a very different topic. Anyway, here's one more aspect of the Howard
Lutnick, Howard Buttnick situation. So Howard Buttnick has a scheme in play here. I think it's,
I have the article here somewhere, but basically, the way that they designed the tariff situation
is that Howard Lutnick's sons, who are still a part of Cantor Fish Gerald, okay, who run
Cantor Fish Gerald, they've been buying up the rights to tariffs refunds from U.S. importers
at pays on the dollar, right? U.S. companies paid billions in tariffs that are now ruled illegal.
Okay? Canterbury Sherrill approached those companies and said,
I will give you 25 cents now for every dollar you're owed in refunds. So when those refunds
are forced into those, those refunds are forced, like when the companies go back and
force the government to pay back all of the entry fees that they paid to the companies
for all the lost revenue because now that it's like rendered illegal, Howard Lutnick will
make all of that money. Like every single thing that they purchase for 25 cents, they
will get a dollar on. It is fucking insane, which is part of the reason why he's been
having such a good time. Okay. He's been having such a grand old time here because when the
refunds kick in, they collect a full dollar. This is, I don't know how else to describe
it other than like, I mean, it's just insider trading completely. Like it's just the most
transparent insider trading of all time, because as the fucking commerce secretary,
he knows what is is going to happen, right? Like he has, he has direct decision-making power in
Trump's orbit. He knows, he knows how the lawyers operate behind the scenes.
He is using the insider information he has within Trump's orbit to make this legal bet.
It's fucking crazy.
Yeah, making 25 cents on the dollar for $150 billion, by the way, that's what we're talking
about.
Level of personal enrichment is crazy
74 says that it's not correct even though wired report in July that can't it was among the Wall Street firms pitching a financial product
Tied to the outcome of the Supreme Court case
It cited an email sent by Cantor salesman that said the firm had already put a trade through representing about 10 million dollars in
trade refund rights, and anticipates that number will balloon in the coming weeks.
Two Democratic senators call for an investigation into the CEO of one of the country's largest
import logistics firms, and this amplified the story.
Cantor's founder Howard Lutnick is Trump's Commerce Secretary.
You already know all that.
Cantor did not consider the product, which has existed for years.
According to the president said at a White House press conference flanked by Lutnick,
that he would reinstate the tariffs on different legal grounds.
Cantor did not consider the product, which has existed for years and was a humming
trade on Wall Street during Trump's first term tariff push, but decided against it after
weighing the political sensitivities according to a senior banker familiar with the matter.
But Cantor spokesman said the salesman erroneously believed that the firm was likely to greenlight
the business, then went out looking for the other side of the trade. Cantor Fitzgerald
has never executed any transaction or taken risks on the legality of terraces that
any report suggesting otherwise is completely false. We'll see.
This appears to be rooted in a common Wall Street practice, a salesperson gets an inbound
bid and goes out to go gin up the other side of the trade.
Ideally, first check in with the higher ups to make sure that this is the business, the
bank that wants to do it.
This is the business the bank wants to do.
Ironically, this business canter should have been doing it, bought and sold claims
during the collapse of crypto exchange FDX in 2022 and is active in the broader
universal financing legal risk trades.
Connecting companies that might be owed tariffs, refunds to hedge funds that
are willing to buy those future payments at a discount is what investment banks
do all the time.
The fact that Cantor didn't suggest as keenly sensitive to the optics of Lutnik's role,
Trump's critics in the media have documented plenty of cases of self-dealing around the
Trump White House, but this doesn't appear to be one of them.
Cantor has clearly benefited from his ties to Lutnik, becoming a big underwriter of
deals aligned with the administration's crypto, AI, energy, and national security
agenda.
As the lead banker to an investor in stablecoin company Tether, it holds billions
of dollars in treasury bonds, which has brought criticism of Bill Ackman and others
about a conflict of interest, Trump's pressure on the federal reserve to cut interest rates
would make existing bonds more valuable.
So I guess the initial wired reporting, perhaps maybe after the initial wired reporting,
they didn't follow through on facilitating this trade.
I might have been wrong if there's new reporting now that suggests that counter-fissure
is rejected and claims that it's sold as product.
So at least this aspect of peer graft is at this point
being denied, being rejected by Canterfish Gerald.
I don't know. I don't know if it's the case.
I don't trust this administration or anyone that is even remotely
remotely associated with this administration.
So who knows?
I wanna spend a lot of time,
but all I can say is that the president of Syria
who I essentially put there is doing a phenomenal job.
He's a rough guy.
I will continue for the record.
I will continue to investigate that lead further.
And if there's new information,
I'll update you guys on whether or not
for Cheryl actually did process this this this swap or not he's not a choir boy a
choir boy couldn't do it but Syria is coming together really coming together
well and thus far he's been very good to the Kurds yeah
Mr. President what's your message to the Iranian people of the torrents of talks
with them. Do you have any message to the Iranian people?
The Iranian people in Iran or people here? People in Iran.
They better negotiate a fair deal. You know, the people of Iran are a lot
different than the leaders of Iran. And it's very, very, very sad situation.
But 32,000 people were killed over a relatively short period of time.
They were going to hang 802 weeks ago, hang, hang.
Some by crane.
They lift them up with a tall crane and they play them around the square.
They were going to hang 837 people.
And I gave them the word, if you hang one person, even one person, that you're going
to be hit right then and there.
I wasn't waiting two weeks and negotiating.
And they gave up the hanging.
They didn't hang 837.
Supposedly, they didn't hang anybody.
No, I feel very badly for the people of Iran. They've lived like they've lived in which is why I'm gonna bomb them
I'm gonna bomb and kill them
If you had to choose or else the entire world blows up suck a dick or vote for trauma 2028. I suck a dick
What do you mean I'm gonna give a shit
Hell please
Before they're like, oh, would you suck a dick for like everyone in America to have health care like yeah?
Trump's dick? I'll suck that too. I don't give a shit. It's a one-off, it's literally
a one-off dick suck for so much financial freedom. Who wouldn't? You would have to be
the most evil person on the planet to say no to that.
You mentioned multiple times foreign influence over the Supreme Court. Do you have evidence
of that, and if not, we'll investigate that.
You're going to find that.
Look at what alternatives are you going to put into place in your relationship with Euro
and also those theories that have been called illegal.
How are they going to go impact the relationship with Russia that you sanctioned?
Well, I want Europe to strengthen up.
Europe has gone woke.
Europe is not recognizable when you go into so many places.
Not all countries.
You look at, you look at Hungary.
look at Poland, Czech, Slovakia, there are some countries that have gone very much the
opposite, some really, and some others. But Europe has to be strong, and they become soft
and not recognizable. You go into some of the countries, I don't want to be specific,
but I think everyone knows what I'm talking about, and they're not recognizable. They
They've become, the environmentalists have taken over, they've got windmills destroying their
fields and their beautiful meadows and their oceans and they're paying a fortune.
Now, Europe has to get smart.
Europe's getting killed in two things, energy and immigration.
And if they don't solve both of them fast, Europe is not the same place, yeah, please.
Justice Esportes and Barrett, are you surprised in particular by their decision today?
Do you regret nominating them?
I don't want to say whether or not I regret. I think their decision was terrible.
I think it's an embarrassment to their families. They want to know the truth. The two of them. Yeah.
Mr. President, you're supposed to play on that $2,000 share of drugs.
Mr. President, we didn't call you.
Mr. President, to be clear, do you believe at the end of implementing these new tariff
tools, the tariff rate and tariffs will ultimately be higher than they currently are?
Potentially higher.
How much higher?
It depends, whatever we want them to be.
But we want them to be fair for other countries.
And we have some countries that have treated us really badly for years, and it's going
to be high for them.
And we have other countries that have been very good, and it's going to be
very reasonable for them.
This was typically on the tariffs question, I mean on the $2,000.
I've missed and called you.
Mr. President, thank you Mr. President, do you have any plans to travel to India for the
Quad Summit and how do you think your relationship with India is right now?
I think my relationship with India is fantastic and we're doing trade with India.
India pulled out of Russia.
You know India was getting its oil from Russia, right, and they pulled way back
at my request, because we want to settle that horrible war where 25,000 people are dying
every month.
And my relationship with Prime Minister Modi is, I would say, great.
I also stopped the war between India and Pakistan, as you know.
There were 10 planes we shot down.
That war was going and probably going nuclear.
And just yesterday, the Prime Minister of Pakistan said President Trump saved 35 million
lives by getting them to stop that's and I did it largely with that okay fuck
this shit all right is one of the most significant cases that the justices
have decided in recent years here the Supreme Court ruling that President
Trump's use that these emergency tariffs that he has implemented are
illegal it's the most significant economic case to reach the High Court in
years sweeping implications for the economy yeah we got Tucker Carlson
talking to Fuckabee as well. Obviously, that's going to be another big one. Tucker Carlson
is back from Israel. He reveals like his detainment process, stuff like that. But then also,
but then also has a had a conversation with Mike Fuckabee, one of the biggest freaks.
And that's an enlightening conversation as always, so we'll talk, I mean we'll tune into
that too.
And of course for presidential power and at stake here are billions of dollars in revenue
that have already been collected by the government.
Pamela Wolfe, the other significance here is that this is the first time that the
6-3 conservative court has ruled against President Trump in one of these major cases
that have gone before the court since he returned to power in January. Now we are still going
through this case, but this is something we have been waiting for. The court said that
it would take up this case on an expedited basis. So they're deciding even though it's
a significant case now because of course this has enormous implications. So as we go through
this opinion now with our team, another outstanding question is what now happens
to all that revenue that had been collected. This is something that really wasn't clear
from the arguments what they would say about that if they're going to lay out a plan. So
we will continue to go through this. But this is an enormous decision and a rare loss for
President Trump before this conservative court.
This is Paula, a major slap at the president of the United States who has made a major
effort over these many, many months to impose all of these tariffs. And just to look
at some of the background I have here, over these many months the administration
has collected $150 billion in these tariffs.
So what happens to that money?
Do they have to refund that money to the firms,
to the people who paid for those tariffs?
That's one of the big questions that came up at arguments.
And it's something that we're looking through now
in this opinion.
The top line is that these are illegal,
that the president cannot rely on this 1977 emergency
law to impose tariffs without authorization
from Congress.
Because this question is really
about the extent of residential power.
And we know in both his terms in office,
President Trump has really worked at the edges
of what has largely been recognized as executive authority.
But in these arguments back-
Refund!
In November, they went on for-
Of course, if you think as a consumer,
you're gonna get a refund on all of the price hikes
that you had to pay for, that's not gonna happen.
Companies will get a refund though, probably,
if they fight hard enough in the course.
Two and a half hours, it was clear
that the justices were skeptical
that President Trump could rely on this vague federal law
to impose global tariffs.
Now, they did appear to likely be willing to decide
that these were illegal, but what is not clear,
and we haven't gotten to this part of the opinion,
is what happens to all that revenue
that has been collected by the government.
And President Trump has said himself
that this is a massive decision for him,
so we're waiting for reaction,
both from the Justice Department
that argued this on his behalf,
and also from the White House.
But we're going to keep going through this wolf to try to see if the justice is laid
out any plan for what happens to that revenue.
Alright Paula, stand by.
I know you're going to be reading all these opinions and everything I want to get back
to you.
But I want to bring in our senior legal analyst, Ellie Honig, right now.
Ellie, as I said, this is a huge setback for the president of the United States, and
this has been a traditionally conservative Supreme Court, but they ruled that all
of these tariffs that Trump has imposed over these many months are illegal.
It's a big deal.
Well, if it's a monumental ruling and the bottom line is that the tariffs Donald Trump announced back in April on Liberation Day are gone
They have been ruled illegal by this US Supreme Court an interesting
which I
Would like to it serves me it brings me no joy or pleasure to report this but as of today
Everyone on the Supreme Court is Chinese
That's right
Clearly clearly they are all Chinese
And we have to do what we have to do. We have to get him out of there. We have to get whoever the next president is has to bring in non-Chinese Supreme Court justices.
They're Russian and Chinese, but also sometimes Russia is good. And sometimes China is good too. So I guess like they're Iranian. That's right. The one country that's never good, Iranian. They are from Iran.
Just, you know, I hope you understand, sorry, that's just what it is.
They are compromised by Iran.
Array of justices here.
In the majority, ruling that the tariffs are illegal is Chief Justice Roberts, Justice
Gorsuch, and Justice Amy Coney Barrett, three conservatives who teamed up with-
Three conservative Iranians.
But the three liberal justices, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson, to rule these tariffs
unconstitutional.
The dissenters are just as Thomas Alito and they're calling her Amy Cuba Barrett because
she's the Iranian Cuban in the Supreme Court.
Avonau and the basis for the ruling is this Congress, not the president, Congress typically
holds the tariff power.
Now Congress passed this law back in 1977 called the International Economic Emergencies
Act and Donald Trump tried to use that law to say, well, I'm declaring an international
economic emergency, therefore I'm imposing tariffs. But the majority here said no, that
law does not authorize you to impose tariffs and no, there is not a valid international
economic emergency here. So the end result, and we are still going through this, but the
end result is that Donald Trump's tariffs have been struck down by the U.S. Supreme
Court. But really important point I want to make, Donald Trump has said, various White
House officials have said, if he loses on this basis, he will try to reimplement
other tariffs through other laws, which he can try to do.
However, those other laws are much more restrictive.
They would not allow him to apply
the type of sweeping massive across the globe tariffs
that he tried to impose here,
but have now been struck down.
Look, Donald Trump said, these tariffs
are the single most important thing
he has done in his presidency.
He said that, and now they've been
struck down by the court.
So you're right, the administration has made clear
that if the court strikes this down,
that they'll look at other tariff authorities to use.
But bottom line here, Ellie,
how big of a mess does this ruling create given the fact that the administration says
it has already received $150 billion in revenue largely paid for by American businesses? Do they
get a refund? What happens now? Yeah, so it's hard to think of a case that has broader implications
politically and legally and economically than this one. I know a lot of people are watching
for this one. We don't yet have the answer. This was a question as that came up during the
the oral argument. Amy Coney Barrett in particular asked the lawyers, well, what do we do with
the hundred plus billion dollars that have already been paid by American importers, by
American manufacturers? We're going to look carefully at this. I know Paula's reading
this very carefully, but that's a huge question. Will there be some sort of mass refund program?
Will the court rule that the tariffs are dead from here on out, but there are no
repayments? We will let you know as soon as we get an answer to that one.
All right. As you noted, Paula has been reading through the opinion. I want
go back to Paula Reed because we know that three conservatives sided with the liberals
on the court and you have a quote from one of those conservatives, right Paula?
That's right. Well, this is Chief Justice John Roberts who wrote the majority opinion
with a court agreeing six to three that President Trump's tariffs exceed his power under the
law. He wrote quote the president.
Tariff rebate chase. God bless Trump is not happening.
Chatter, that's so funny.
Like you paid for the tariffs with increased prices.
That's far too costly to calculate.
It's not going to happen.
The refund checks are going to the corpos who paid a decent percentage of that entry fee.
If there are any legal battles that will get, you know, stuck in the courts at all.
Of course, in the process, the federal government will be spending a shit ton of money on lawyers
to make sure that they don't pay anything back.
So someone's making money.
It's just not you.
That's going to be a food fight going after $175 billion in it.
I got a feeling the American people won't see it.
I'm just saying, like, what were you thinking?
What were you thinking?
This is the rug pool presidency, baby.
At most, at most, corporations might get refunds from the government because of Trump's
illegal tariffs.
Those corporations raise prices because of those tariffs, meaning more money out of
your pockets, but you get nothing.
So all in all, another massive transfer of wealth to the top, and it won't even be corporations
because some of those corporations already sold off the debt or they, and, and we don't
know if the Lutnik firm, Cantor Fitzgerald actually, you know, is facilitating this
now, but it'll be whoever, whoever on Wall Street that purchase that, that, that debt
like that purchase did the tariff repayments. It is pretty funny though that people also
think that corporations will now turn around and like lower their prices. That's also another
funny aspect. And that's also another funny concept that's not going to happen either.
If you think like, oh, well they raise prices because they adjusted to the entry fee that
they were paying. Now there's gonna be a lower entry fee because Donald Trump is still maintaining
like 10% tariffs and shit like that, right? For as long as he possibly can. No, that's
not gonna happen. You see, that's not how this works. It, again, gives me no pleasure
to report that the prices are not gonna come down because the prices don't come down.
not how that works at all. So, you know, have fun with that reality almost feels like the
system is designed this way. But what do I fucking know? I'm just a dumb, commie socialist,
Marxist terrorist anti-Semite.
It asserts the extraordinary power to unilaterally impose tariffs of unlimited amount, duration
and scope in light of the breadth, history and constitutional context of that asserted
What is that background audio authority he must identify clear congressional authorization
to exercise it and we knew that the chief justice would be a key vote after what we
saw at arguments now we are still going through this I want to show you this is about a third
of the opinion it's 170 pages long this is just a fraction of it so we're going through
it very carefully to try to understand what, if anything, the court said about what happens
to all that revenue the government has already collected. I know that's a big question right
now. We are carefully going through this to see if they laid out a plan, if this goes
back to the lower courts, that's what we're working to figure out right now.
And a quick question from me, Paula. Do the tariffs immediately go away as of right
now, or does it take a few days or at least maybe a few weeks for them to be removed?
Well, they've been declared by the Supreme Court to be illegal.
So we're going through to see if they laid out some sort of plan.
But as of right now, people should not
have to pay a tariff today or tomorrow, one would think.
But we're looking to see, because the logistics of this
are so complicated, to see if the justice is weighted
into that.
Or if all of that is going to be something that's now
going to be tossed down to lower courts,
now that the justices have ruled
on the larger constitutional question here,
the separation of powers and who
has the authority to do this.
because while this has enormous economic implications,
really this was a question
about the extent of executive power.
We know President Trump really plays at the edges of that.
And again, this is a rare loss for President Trump
since he's returned to office
before this conservative court.
So we're gonna keep waiting through what they said
to work out the details.
Now to the latest on the huge US military buildup
in the Middle East
and the possibility of new airstrikes.
Yeah, we also obviously have
The other side of the story, bombing Iran, lest you forget.
Against Iran.
The U.S. has two carrier groups in striking distance of Iran while both sides negotiate.
And President Trump is setting a deadline for the deal and says, quote, really bad things
will happen if no deal is reached.
Chief Foreign Affairs correspondent and face the nation moderator, Margaret Brennan,
is following all this force.
Margaret, good morning.
So what is the likelihood that the United States strikes Iran this weekend?
Why is there so much saber-rattling from the president at this moment?
Well, good morning, Vlad.
There are multiple options, including joint strikes with Israel on Iran's ballistic missile sites that have been offered to the president.
But he said he's going to take 10 to 15 days to decide whether Iran's next offer to the U.S. is good enough to accept.
So, Vlad, diplomatic sources tell me that this timeline could be even shorter than that
because the president previously bombed Iran this past summer while we were in the midst
of talks with them.
U.S. officials are insisting that this latest round of gunboat diplomacy is leveraged to
get Iran to offer concessions.
We know yesterday Iran did warn any first strike by the United States would be catastrophic
and said they don't want more, they want to keep talking.
All right, so Margaret, what are you hearing about the talks that are happening in Geneva,
the progress, or perhaps lack thereof?
Well, Vlad, those talks were pretty brief.
They were limited just around four hours Tuesday in Geneva.
Iran verbally presented unique proposals, according to my sources, regarding their
nuclear program.
They also offered potential investment deals to the United States.
Keep in mind, Iran wants relief from U.S. sanctions.
They've offered America access to oil and gas fields.
They've offered interest in buying American equipment like aircraft.
And they're putting together a written proposal that they'll soon present to the Trump team.
But keep in mind, Secretary Rubio, an Israel's prime minister, previously said a nuclear-only
deal isn't enough.
A meaningful one should restrain Iran's ballistic missiles and its militias in the
region.
But President Trump himself has been less explicit.
He said one bright red line, no nuclear.
Can the Supreme Court stop this too?
Brother, if you think the Supreme Court
gives a single solitary fuck about the sovereignty of Iran,
the livelihood of the Iranian peoples,
you are out of your fucking mind.
Okay?
Even Congress doesn't give a single shit about it.
You know who cares about this?
The most is real.
So it's gonna happen. And here is Bronco Marsetic of Jacobin talking about this a little bit further.
If you suspect Democrat silence on Iran isn't an accident, you are correct. A foreign policy aid
to truck Schumer privately explained last year that many Democrats want a U.S. war with Iran,
but don't want the ensuing political fallout. So they prefer letting Trump do it.
The letter led to a phone call between one of the letters organizing the top foreign policy aide the Schumer who laid out the thinking of many Democrats in the Senate
The organizer who took the call agreed to share details of the conversation in exchange for anonymity a congressional source briefed on the call shortly afterwards confirmed the details
The foreign policy aide whom Dropside agreed not to name explained that a substantial number of Senate Democrats believed Iran ultimately needed to be dealt with militarily
But those Democrats, the aid explained, also understood that going to war with, going to
war again in the Middle East would be a political catastrophe.
That's precisely why they wanted Trump to be the one to do it.
The hope was that Iran would take a blow and so would Trump, a win-win for the Democrats.
The aid claimed that Schumer did not share those views and opposed a war with Iran.
Schumer's own rhetoric, however, including his taco taunt, which was last year, if
you remember.
time, Schumer was making a video about Donald Trump directly was when he was like,
oh, Mr. President, I bet you actually want to not go to war with Iran. Ha ha.
Suggested the AIDS attempt to distance Schumer from the notion of
notion of the Iran war would be politically advantageous for Democrats was perfunctory.
This is from the drop site news reporting last year. This is a weak ass statement from
representatives
uh... she uh... senators not represented sorry schumer and reed
uh... the top democrat on the arms services committee
come out
uh... it that came out and it's at
but i can't talk with the fox by me that came out against the preemptive
attack on iran
well
sorry
mouth
mouth is full of marbles
senate democratic leader truck shimmer today released the following statement on
the risk of the administration's right in the country to another deadly and
costly war with iran
the administration is yet to articulate the congress in the american people with
the objectives or strategy would be for any potential military campaign against
iran
let alone what it would mean for the lives of american service members of
the cost of american taxpayers
as i've consistently said confronted iran's ruthless campaign of terror
nuclear ambitions, regional aggression and horrific oppression of the Iranian people,
demand strength, resolve, regional coordination, and strategic clarity.
It's literally the same as their weak ass attempt to say, oh, Mr.
President, don't go to war with Venezuela.
You need to let us know why and how you're going to do it.
And then we'll fucking gladly agree.
That's it.
You and a party, baby.
This is what I'm talking about when I say you and a party.
As I've consistently said, confronting Congress has the sole power to declare war.
We must enforce the War Powers Act and compel this administration to solve Congress and explain
to the American people the objectives and exactly why he's risking more American lives.
This is the leader of the opposition party, by the way.
He can't even say no war with Iran.
No war with Iran whatsoever.
He can't even say that.
He's saying war with Iran, yes, just let us know about it.
In response, US Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island, the ranking member of the Senate Armed
Service Committee, today urged the admissions to carefully weigh the full cost with some
military action before proceeding.
A preemptive attack against Iran at this time would be a strategic misstep, and I am concerned
that such recklessness could spark uncontrolled conflict.
Military strikes on Iran would risk igniting a wider regional war, endangering American
force across the Middle East, and destabilizing global market in ways that would harm
every American.
demands for myself and others, I have seen no credible proposal from the administration
regarding the strategic objectives of military action against Iran, the logistics of such
an operation, nor what a day after plan would look like.
These are not the problem.
These are not the problems.
Okay?
I mean, this is some of the many issues that would spark up if we were to go into
war with Iran.
But you also have to address that the Trump administration is moving in the direction
of going to war with Iran regardless, to just hang it on as a process problem is to not
actually oppose the administration at all.
Because the issue here is not process.
The issue here is that the administration is already committed.
The American people do not want another costly war, particularly one viable economic
diplomatic tools remains available to achieve our objectives by putting American
lines of race for the Congress alone holds the power to authorize war yet
the administration has failed to engage with Congress during this latest
military buildup just like they didn't during Venezuela by the way and they
will not they will not they will not they will not engage with you they will
offer one closed-door meeting and then the takeaway just like with Venezuela in
that closed-door meeting will be yeah they gave us actually pretty ample
reason but we still kind of don't want it but if it happens we'll just
say, oh, well, we don't like the way you conducted it.
OK, that's it.
It is easy to start a war finishing one as much harder
before any military action is considered.
President Trump must come before the American people
explain why any conflict would be necessary
to be honest about the risk and cost
and present a clear strategy with a defined end game.
Do you understand?
Vali Nasser says, I told the New York Times
the problem with Trump's limited strike in Iran
Iran would calculate that its muted response to previous American military operations that
only invited more threats in the United States and that it must escalate the cost of war
for the United States. Hamid Reza Azizi says, and that is already prevailing view within
Iran's security elites. The irony here, of course, as I've explained over and over
again the irony here is that the most restrained person also happens to be the
one like prominent figure that they could possibly kill to get a W. His name
is Ayatollah Khamenei because if you actually do a decapitation strike on
some of the IRGC generals they have contingency plans and there's no
assurance that the younger generation of IRGC generals that come into power in those
contingency plans are gonna be fucking less likely or more pliant, less likely to respond,
more pliant to American demands, more fearful. If anything, the higher likelihood is that
they will be more radical, more militant, and more invested in making the American
incursion costly
okay
and the most restrained figure head
not when it comes to its domestic affairs mind you okay i'm talking
specifically form policy of the perspective of like
the uh... the american military operation here
the most restrained figure
is the itaola
so if you kill the itaola and a bunch of generals
you might actually have at your disposal
a a much
much more radical irgc
interested, galvanized, emboldened in attacking the United States of America.
Like, there is a significant setback in the nuclear, in the nuclear conversation that setback
is literally the Ayatollah.
Weapons. And he has recently tamped down all those threats he was making to regime leaders
who brutally repressed protesters in recent months.
When I wondered over here after hearing about the pet controversy, I didn't expect an erudite
sensible American. Why you got to be so normal? Don't worry. I'm abnormal.
Yesterday, a senior regional official told me the U.S. is being urged not to do it.
This is where you get your rare L-takes, bro. The murder is a wrong regime has to go.
Oh.
Yeah, you're right. It's a major el-take for me. What I have to do is sit aside and say,
the American government that's currently starving Iran with sanctions needs to continue the sanctions
and continue starving the Iranian population. That leads to deaths as well. We just don't
see it in the same way that we see direct involvement from the Ayatollah, which I never
said is like tolerant to his own people. Let's be real here. The only solution here is to
fucking kill tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of Iranians, and also get into a
military quagmire that will go on for another two decades. This is the only way to do it.
Saddam is a tyrant. He must be deposed. This is the only thing that we can do.
do. The only way that we can deal with bomber Gaddafi is by killing him and then destabilizing
Libya. This is how it's had. This is how it'll happen. Hey guys, you don't understand the
Taliban is actually protecting the Taliban and al-Qaeda are, are, are hiding in Afghanistan.
And there is no way that we can extract Osama bin Laden without a 20 year military
occupation. Obviously we will bring about democracy to both Iran just as though we
did to Iraq just as though we brought about democracy to Afghanistan just as
though we brought democracy to Libya just as though we brought democracy to Syria
this time it's going to be not different than the previous times because
as you know I live in fucking upside-down world I'm an absolute fucking moron. You
You said we're worse than Iran, rare L. America, of course, is worse than any of our adversaries.
This is the most powerful country on the fucking planet.
What are you talking about?
What the fuck are you talking about?
We're, oh yeah, we're gonna bring democracy to Yemen.
We have the funds for militants in Iran, buddy.
What?
Don't fucking buddy me, dumbass.
I don't know what the hell you're even trying to say.
Do you, did you, how do you, how do you reckon with all of the other foreign entanglements that the United States has been involved in where they were bringing about democracy just as in the same exact way they're trying to say that we're going to bring about democracy today, Ron.
Okay, we fund resistance, buddy.
What the hell does that have to do with anything I'm saying?
You think America is better than Iran because what we like arm militia groups and movements
that that further like in the eyes of the Iranian government justify further repression
like what?
Oh, you said America is bad.
Well, guess what?
We have the CIA.
Thanks man.
didn't realize that we were doing that. We don't shut off internet during mass protests
to slaughter. Pound for pound dollars to donuts. America has most likely killed more Iranians
than the Iranian government has by way of sanctions. I just need you to understand
that, okay? Sanctions are collective punishment. Sanctions are a crime, especially when dealt
against our adversaries. Sanctions can be a corrective tool used against our allies who
rely on unlimited funds and political and social cover. Also, it's pretty funny when
And these guys will be like, uh, the Iranian government's biggest crime is shutting off the
internet while they were doing the slaughter, as opposed to what?
The American back slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians that took place
over the course of the last two and a half years where the Palestinians somehow did have
access to e-sims and shit.
So they were able to live stream it.
Does that make it better, more honorable, more just?
Like what is it? Is it is it only are we are we measuring cruelty and ruthlessness by like how governments deal with their own citizens is that what it is?
Even by direct bombing visa VR bombs used by Israel to strike and kill thousands of the regular in Iran that too.
I'm Iranian living in Iran I've experienced a 12-day war and it won't benefit ordinary people
if you think tank if you think a US start a war would be a victory the propaganda is pushing a
new Iraq scenario we can even sense our skies filling with planes the block real negotiations
and who wins Israel and wars like this Muslim Christians lose I believe Palestine will be
free and we truly hope for it. I mean, there's also plenty of Iranians in Iran who are literally
demanding bombs. Okay? I mean, the Iranians are, the Iranians are, there are plenty of
regular Iranians that are so understandably frustrated, disturbed, angry with the way
that their government has operated, especially in the last, in the last round of repression
where they did kill thousands of Iranians.
That is fucking real.
That is a real thing that happened.
That my, by my estimates at least,
it's not just propaganda.
It's not just like Israel and America involving themselves
with the Iranian resistance internally inside of Iran.
That is also real.
But the reality is,
you can't get away with killing thousands of people.
Now you've made tens of thousands of families your your opposition, okay?
That's it
As I said in my talk at UBC
It would be wise to remember how the iranian revolution happened to in the first place
Why the iranian revolution happened in the first place iranian people
Not the diaspora. Okay, not the fucking diasporoids. I'm not talking about people living in you know Beverly Beverly heels
I'm not talking about that shit at all, but the Iranian people are a very
proud people they will they will struggle against oppressive forces even if it's domestic
They will struggle against oppressive forces regardless
so
You know
That's the reality. It's one that I think the Islamic Republic is either choosing to ignore or thinking that they can just like withstand through more and more ruthless methods of dealing with the crowds.
But once again, my argument always is, you must not starve the Iranian population.
Even if you want the normal democratic process, even if you want a real revolution, the only
way that you can bring that about is by leaving Iranians to deal with it on their own.
Every time you add additional sanctions and you starve the Iranian population further,
sure, you're destabilizing the economy, sure, you're making them more mad.
Plenty of them are actually holding the IRGC at fault for it.
And ultimately you make it even harder to bring about positive progress in Iran.
There were literal Mossad agents on the ground.
This effect, I never said that that's not the case.
What are you talking about?
Like part of the reason why part of the reason why
there are plenty of Iranians that are willing to take up arms alongside foreign countries
inside of Iran is not just because they've been duped by propaganda.
It's because there is real cruelty that they're experiencing by their own government.
Hello.
That's real.
The Islamic Republicans, the Islamic Republic's attitude, Republicans attitude has become
a national security threat for Iranian sovereignty against Iranian sovereignty.
the regime's behavior through this diplomacy. So big picture. These talks are an acknowledgement
that Iran's nuclear ambitions.
I am Khrushchevla. We Iranians want regime change. We can't do it on our own. They will kill
us. What do you think America is going to do? I don't understand. Iranians are some
of the most educated people. Okay? Like what the fuck do you think America is going
do you think America has like a like a democratic regime change button no they're just gonna kill
you harder the fuck it's so strange like trusting especially the pedophilic cabal backed trump
administration is hilarious like you're I get the desperation but it's just you're gonna
you're gonna lose even more in that situation
account created today. I can't see out teenagers being executed. Yeah, it's totally different
when they get decapitated by an American strike. You know what I mean? I guess different.
Yeah, we heard this song and dance over and over again. Hamas, we are here to free the
Palestinian people from Hamas. Hamas is killing their own people, which is very different when
we kill them.
We're not, in fact, totally obliterated last summer in those American strikes. There are
40,000 American personnel in the Middle East, and the President is weighing the risk of
a regional war along with whether Americans would support even a very limited military
action.
All right, all eyes on the Middle East this weekend.
Margaret Brennan is always my friend.
Thank you very much.
President Trump.
Wait, there's a-
Do the-
Fox and Frez not feeling this random war on Iran?
This operation, and then we're not going to have to do anything else.
Remember, there was a lot of bragging about that, and I think most people, even those
who were skeptical about operation, going in and doing that, at the end were like,
okay, I can deal with this because I don't want a greater war.
And now you have it.
And now you have it.
I made the account because you banter me.
What about Iran's women's basic human rights?
No, I know.
I have a solution to the Iranian women's basic human rights.
It's called multiple atom bombs worth of munitions being dumped on Isfahan, being dumped
on Tehran.
This will save the Iranian women.
Okay.
Just wait.
The only way that we can save the Iranian women is by flying F-35 jets over the Iranian
airspace and bombing the living fuck out of the energy grid, you know, bombing the living
fuck out of the Iranian population, just like Israel saved Iran in the 12-day war.
I didn't say that, but you just don't use your platform to support us.
No, I do.
It's just hard for you to comprehend, because, you know, you think that American bombs are
going to bring about feminism in Iran.
And there are Iranian people living in Iran who probably also feel this way as well.
And to them, I say the same thing.
You are wrong, okay?
There has never been a moment where American bombing campaigns have actually brought about
prosperity to a country.
There are plenty of countries right there right next to Iran as a matter of fact who have received
that American prosperity and American democracy and they're not better for it.
There were so many people demanding that Saddam the tyrant be deposed inside of Iraq.
They said he is gassing us.
He is killing us.
They are not better off.
Okay.
They are not better off now.
There are plenty of people in Afghanistan who are like, oh, we're going to have feminism.
It's going to be great.
They are not better off.
That's why I keep repeating.
Look at Libya.
Look at Syria.
Look at Iraq.
Every single place that we have had this machination, this design is worse off after our intervention.
I think that the president needs to make a better case as to why this is in American interest
to potentially go into a kinetic war.
I don't think the case has been made sufficiently for me to read the New York Times.
There's a lot of people who also feel that way.
If you're going, Brian hates this.
Brian's like, shut the fuck up.
No, it's good.
Um, I want a permanent militant posture.
I would rather live under Saddam a million years rather than be occupied by an extra American puppet
These Iranians who think they will be liberated by the Americans mostly young idiots or traders 100%
I have zero sympathy for them. They have zero excuse not to learn. Okay, dude dial it back
Jesus Christ
That's a Iraqi chatter for the record
I think that the president needs to make a better case as to why this is an American
interest to potentially go into a kinetic war.
I don't think the case has been made sufficiently for me to read the New York Times.
I don't get this year reference as far as I know we mostly got fucked by Iranis and
Russia instead of the US, I get Iraq and Afghanistan though. ISIS, HTS, FSA, and numerous
other Salafist brigades that were taken advantage of the sectarian infighting to make it seem
as though they were actually defending the Sunni population,
were not really defending the Sunni population at all.
Okay?
America was on all sides of the Syrian Civil War.
They were both funding and arming and training the ISIS and ISIS-adjacent brigades,
while simultaneously funding and training the Kurdish militias as well.
Now, of course, the ISIS-adjacent, ISIS-aligned side objectively won this battle.
And now they've completely dropped the support that they had for the Carter side.
America was involved in a limited capacity with boots on the ground, military warfares,
like that. Okay. But ultimately, America played a major role. They also sanctioned the Syrian
economy, the Syrian government sanctioned the Syrian economy, same starvation initiatives
there as well. And it's the other side of the story too. And now what you have is ISIS
fighters being freed from Kurdish prisons. If you think that the, the, you know,
currents, like Syria is probably the best case scenario out of all of the other, out of all the
other American backed interventions and destabilization initiatives that I reference. And
Syria is not doing great either. Okay. Don't forget Turkey. No, Turkey's biggest benefit was that it
never had oil and Turkey's biggest, Turkey's biggest benefit is that we were, we were compliant with
America early on. Okay. We're like, Oh, NATO, we love that. Please put missile bases in our country.
We will direct them at the USSR. We will be dogs to you, America. We love America. Okay.
Turkey went through its own conflict. Also with American intervention, they wrote an essay
for you. Please check logs, a long time fan. Listen, I'm super disappointed in your Iran
coverage. Your coverage of Iran is like Ethan's coverage of Gaza genocide. I swear. Wait, what?
Criticizing Western imperialism in sanctions is valid, but doing so while minimizing or
excusing the Iran regime's brutality only tells how to have the story. And to be
to be honest, you follow too many propaganda accounts on Twitter where I feel like you get your infills with subconsciously, you think it's not as bad.
There's never been a moment where I've defended the Iranian government's ruthlessness.
You are wrong.
Okay.
Iranians are not, like, special and will somehow avoid the American bombing campaign. It's just not going to happen.
Okay
There are so many chatters that only come in what brutality what do you mean dude?
They fucking marked so many people they kill so many people even before this last round of of pushback
Like the Iranian government is is a
Lion when it comes to dealing with its own citizens and a little bit of a paper tiger when it comes to its foreign policy
Yeah, I covered the Masa Amini protests as well. I don't know what you're talking about.
You also show people like Mohammed Marandi and Aqshian stream with no pushback, allowing
them to launder regime propaganda and wash their hands of the blood.
Yes, you have denounced the regime's actions, but at no point did you platform in Iranian
journalists or activists with first hand experience of how violent this regime represses
its own people. The Masa Amini protests, 2009 Green Movement protests and other
with sanctions. They were responsible for the moral police, force of job laws, election fraud.
Well, a good thing I also mentioned all of that, well, not in 2009 because I was, you know,
in college at that point. And as a matter of fact, I have mentioned over and over again
that there are three pressures that the Iranian people are subjected to. The primary one being
the, the, well, the primary one being the sanctions because it just kills more people
in general and it causes more destabilization. But almost as important as the sanctions is the
Islamic Republic's own design for domestic repression. Is the sovereign government just
expected to allow foreign back terrors to run rampant? The protest were peaceful for weeks before
Israel and the US got involved? No, they're not, but a part of the reason is that you can't give
people an option, or you can't give people a real reason to protest. Okay?
Also, I'm reading chat GPT logs. You need to admit you're a naive honor on your
so anti-Israel that you're lost in the sauce and have blind spot on I'm too
anti-Israel and anti-war. What is your suggestion? Chatter, what is your
suggestion because right now there's only one option that's the same government the American
regime that is starved Iran now going in and bombing Iran do you think that's a good idea
because my suggestion is that you go harder on the Iranian regime
So at a time when the American government is, okay, let's start here. Do you think the American
government actually cares about the Iranian population? Like, do you think that the American
government is moving in a way where they want to free and liberate the Iranian population?
No. Okay, good. So we're in agreement there. So do you think the American government is
trying to launder its militant action against the Iranian people, not just the
government, because the government is not separate from the people at all. Do you
feel like the American government is maybe laundering their actions by claiming
that they want to liberate the Iranian population?
I agree with 99% of your points. Okay, so you do agree with me that the
American government is trying to launder its actions that will launder
its militancy against the Iranian population by claiming that they
actually want to liberate the Iranian people. They don't want to free the Iranians. Great.
In agreement there too. So do you think that my hyper focus right now, which is going to
obviously be avoiding catastrophe. If you agree with me on these points, you also agree that
America doesn't have a decent interest in Iran at all. Liberating the Iranian population
not really an interest at all. Do you understand why I am critical of the Iranian government
and regularly talk about the instability that it causes, okay, with its repression, but in
a moment where like we have a third of our entire fucking naval fleet slammed in the
ash cheeks of Iran, as the Trump administration led by the international pedophilic cabal
is very clearly
saying we're gonna bomb iran whether people like it or not
don't you think i should be focusing on that
as opposed to what the iranian governments
actions are
although i am critical of the iranian government's actions
also as an american citizen
i have
limited
if at all any influence and capability over the american government
how the fuck am i gonna influence the iranian government
i can even influence my own government and i'm a fucking taxpayer here
my tax dollars are gonna bomb your fucking family members in like a week
from uh...
a week from now
my taxpayers
are going to be laser in your family members
those that remain in iran
and you're over here being like don't even talk about that
You're critical of the fact they killed thousands of people for protesting?
Yes.
So fuck.
Of course I am.
The problem here is, I mentioned that.
I mentioned that.
But then I also mentioned, the much greater harm that will befall the Iranian population.
Critical, that's all.
Wait, what do you want me to do?
What do you want me to do, dude?
Fly a fucking F-35 into wherever the ayatollah is?
What are you talking about?
Hello?
I
Huh
He wants you to pass an act what what do you want me to do
I'm already paying I'm already paying so they fucking bomb your ass the fuck do you mean
You know?
What more can I do to fight against the Iranian government?
I'm already literally funding the military with my taxes so they can go kill your fucking
family as they try to liberate the Iranian population.
This is why it's ridiculous.
It's a ridiculous conversation to be had.
There's a lot of people who also feel that way.
If you're going to get us potentially into it.
If you want me to demand war against Iran, that's not going to happen, okay?
That's just not going to happen.
You have to explain why it matters to us, not to other countries, but to us.
And so, by the way, you have Fetterman, a Democrat, a rare Democrat who agrees with
the president.
Here's what he said last night on Jesse.
Clearly, I was the only Democrat last year, you know, like, why, how could you allow Iran
to acquire nuclear bomb?
Now, people have always said that.
Well, you know, he actually did something to actually prevent Iran from doing that.
If they have 900 pounds of near weapons grade uranium, why wouldn't you strike that?
Why wouldn't you hold them accountable that way?
And now here we are again.
And now we've demonstrated.
the only thing I ran ever responds to is strength and power and hit them and if they
want to hit them again because I don't think you can't really trust and negotiate with them.
You can't negotiate with cancer. You have to attack it and go right at it with superior
force. I just want to mention, I do feel sorry for the protesters. Again, it's not clear to me
that doing this move that potentially going to war is necessarily going to help the protesters.
I'd like to think that was true. Explain to me why. Explain to me why I should risk my
military age boys potentially going into- Oh my god. Wait, what is happening?
Brian is literally like Brian killed me. I'm Brian killed me. I'm Brian killed me.
Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. What is happening?
What the hell yo, did she did her sons get the fucking steak and lobster treatment is
that what's going on right now?
Her, her sons are on a fucking aircraft carrier consuming perhaps the last steak and lobster
dinner that they will ever have with the rest of their fucking lives and she's over
here been like, ah, actually this has become real for me. Um, I don't like it. Can we not
do this? Can we not do this regime change war now? There's going to be endlessly costly
and, you know, might kill my sons. I don't know how I feel about this now.
Another more in the Middle East. I thought we were done with that.
There's seven presidents have had to deal with this. They've never been more vulnerable
from taking our hostages to the IRA. Come on. Now's the time to strike. Yeah. They already
got surf, surf and turf, by the way. It already happened. So do with that information what you
will. Contra scandal to the JCPOA. You have the president, the Joe Biden, actually releasing
some of the sanctions, allowing them that evil regime. Yeah. And that was bad and evil and
wrong and gross. They put a hit on our president multiple times. They said they're trying
trying to kill Brian hook they're trying to kill John Bolton they're trying to kill Mike Pompeo
and again he threatened this they're trying to kill John Bolton bitch the president is trying to kill
John Bolton the fucking Trump rated John Bolton's homes at the he swatted John Bolton it's so funny
He's like, well, we're not John Bolton, a famous friend to the president.
That's awesome.
That's a nation.
And I, the, I had told us as we're going to be sinking your ships and we're not interested
in getting rid of a nuclear program.
So if there's one menace in the Middle East that has been affecting America since 1979,
it's been that country.
That's so funny.
Brian had to pick up the pieces.
They got too low.
Often watches this show. He may not admit it, but he often watches this show as two members of the Senate and the house
I'm curious before you go. What would your message be to the president and the members of Congress?
Hold on. Let me shake my head
Let me I'm shaking my head
Okay
Cuz you know
Big dog is on. I'm I'm disapproving. I'm disavowing.
Is that is that how you want me to cover this stuff?
And yeah, I'm talking about the real, the real Takia doing. Shia Muslim, Joe Scarborough.
That's previous US administrations, even the current US administration
have tried almost everything against us. A war, you know, sanctions, snapback, everything.
But none of them worked. If you talk with the Iranian people with the language of respect,
we respond with the same language. But if they talk to us with the language of force,
we will reciprocate with the same language. I think Iranians have proved to be very proud
people. They only respond to the language of respect. So, and this is the way that they
can talk to us and they would see the results.
During break I spoke with someone very high in the Trump administration.
I'll just say indomently aware of all the details of the negotiations and a few insights
that this person had, this administration official had on what we just heard.
The foreign minister said that there was at no time a demand for no further enrichment.
What the negotiators, what our negotiators told him was, the president's position is
no enrichment.
But the burden is on you.
If you think you can come back with a counter, the burden is on you to show us what safeguards
will be put in place. So you will have a nuclear program for power like every other country.
Also said, I know it's not going to happen. I know it's not going to fucking happen, but
I think it would be pretty funny if like we retreated back to the JCPOA, but this time
under Trump's banner. And then Trump started running around being like, I brought pieces
of Middle East. It's not going to happen because he's dick eating Israel super hard and Israel
hates that. But like literally the most peaceful outcome here would be JCPOA. Of course Israel
is never going to allow that to happen, but we want a detailed proposal. We've been
been talking about this for over a decade, we need it in a week, not in three years.
That won't work.
And finally, I was told by this administration official that the burden placed on the Iranians
was a heavy burden because of the lack of trust, because in the words of this official,
they have broken every agreement with us that they've ever had.
So again, it's Donald Trump.
That's so crazy.
We did that, bro.
We broke every agreement that we had with Iran.
We did that.
What the fuck are you talking about?
The president with a maximalist position that was taken to the foreign minister and the
the US negotiators hold the foreign minister.
All right, you don't like this maximalist position?
Convince us you can have a peaceful nuclear program.
We're about to play you an interview we did
with US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee,
two days ago in Israel.
In general, it's never worth talking about
the backstory behind an interview.
Kind of not the point, makes it about the interviewer,
not the person being interviewed. For one thing, for another, it's not that interesting
most of the time. And for another, it's kind of off the record. You know, the other person
hasn't consented to you telling the story. So in general, we don't do that. Who'd want
to hear that, let the interview speak for itself. But in this case, we want to tell
you a few things about how this interview came about, because they are pretty interesting,
Revealing and now weirdly relevant apparently
So this interview with Mike Huckabee came about a couple of weeks ago
On Twitter one of our producers showed me he said something to the effect of you're talking to Middle Eastern Christians Tucker Carlson
Maybe you should talk to me
Why don't you come do an interview?
And I paused for a minute
I thought in the past about trying to interview Mike Huckabee who I've known for over 30 years and worked
adjacent to at Fox and I had mixed feelings about it mostly because it's
hard if you're me to interview Mike Huckabee because of just the personal
affect Mike Huckabee is jovial comes off as friendly he's a grandfather when
annoyed I can be nasty in interviews it's it takes a lot of self-control to
interview someone like Mike Huckabee not not because I hate him but because
it's hard to ask him tough questions and not come off as a jerk which I
I often am.
So, but I thought in this case, yeah,
I should definitely do this for a bunch of different reasons.
Mainly the United States is moving toward a big war,
a real war with Iran, a regime change war.
The biggest war we've had since the invasion of Iraq
in the spring of 2003 and Israel is driving that.
We are doing this at the behest of the demand
of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
So it seems like now is the time
for more Americans to understand the dynamic between the U.S. and Israel and to call attention
to that. And for another, Huckabee's behavior in the last year in Jerusalem as the ambassador
has been very, very striking. He famously had a meeting with the most damaging spy in
American history. And why did he do that? He had an arrest by anybody up until two
days ago, why did you do that? So I wanted to be able to ask him that. And so we accepted
and then began the usual negotiations about when and where the interview would take place.
And we were constrained because we weren't expecting this. We wanted to do it quickly,
but we had tons of travel. So we threw them a date and being the American embassy, we
can do it on this date. And they were very accommodating. And then the question became
where do we do it? Maybe a Christian holy site? We said, we've got to get in and
really quick got to be back to do a bunch of other interviews, but we've got this time frame.
They said, well, why don't you do it at the U.S. Embassy? Or maybe we set that great U.S. Embassy.
So the U.S. Embassy is about an hour or 55 minutes from the big airport in Israel, Ben-Gurion.
So we said, okay, what about security? Now, at this time, the Israeli government,
the prime minister included, were attacking me in this show. Nenia, who stressed that I was
was a Nazi, for example. And so we thought, you know, how about security? Obviously, not
because the Israeli government necessarily would do something bad, because there are a
lot of people in Israel who think because they've been told, you know, that I'm an anti-Semite
or a Nazi or want to kill Jews, kind of crazy overstatement, all untrue, obviously,
but it would be good to have security. And I should say, having done interviews on
six out of seven continents over 35 years. I'm not very security conscious at all, never really
feel uncomfortable with this seem like a prudent thing to do. So we were told by the embassy spokesman
no we're not going to provide security and so we said okay I guess we'll get private security
but could we get someone from the embassy to ride in the car with us from the airport to the
interview and we were told no could we get what they call a control officer just an American
with us in an official capacity as an embassy employee with us. No, quote, for legal reasons,
we can't do that. So I thought, well, that's very strange. And then they said, but instead,
we're turning over to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, MFA, and they're going to arrange
everything in Israel. Well, this was within 24 hours of the deputy foreign minister,
Sharon Haskell, releasing a video calling me an anti-Semite and an enemy of Israel.
This was the person who the embassy was telling this was going to handle all of our travel
So it was at this point that I just called I called the spokesman from for the US embassy in Israel and I said, okay
I'm an American citizen
Responding to an invitation from the American ambassador to Israel and by the way, I'm the son of US ambassador
So I have some sense not an expert obviously, but I have some sense of how this works
And I think that the US ambassador has discretion to send somebody from his office to the airport to accompany someone in I
Think that's right. And if it's not right, tell me what law you're talking about what legal reason you're talking about that will prevent that
And now you're sending me over to a government official who's been calling me a Nazi
That's the person in charge of getting us to the embassy like what is going on here and
And the embassy spokesman who's totally nice said, well, this was the decision of someone
called David Brownstein.
He's the DCM, the number two guy in the embassy.
And I said, well, put him on the text exchange.
Like, what is going on here?
And so Brownstein got on and didn't answer the question, but basically said, well,
okay, let's just do the interview at the airport in the diplomatic reception area
at the airport.
Okay.
I said, we're going to be flying in from Europe, and we had to be in and out really
quickly.
So at great expense, we chartered a plane, which I never do, because I'm cheap.
But we did, and so then I said to them, okay, I want to send you the flight information,
tail number, flight number, route, and I want you to pass that on to the Israeli
military, just so they don't mistake us for an Iranian drone or something.
I mean, not to be paranoid, but again, this is probably the most violent country in the world, Israel is there a country in the world where a higher percentage of the population has held a gun or shot someone?
I mean, I don't know the answer, but this is a country famously waging a seven front war with all of its neighbors, you know, so this is also the country that bomb.
This is one of the only moments where I will ever say this in my life, where I would offer critical support to Tucker Carlson against the only entity that is more fascistic and more violent, well definitely more violent, but definitely more fascistic than Tucker Carlson, which is the nation state of Israel.
I see a lot of people talking about all the shit that the American government is saying,
all the shit that the Israeli government is saying about Tucker Carlson and like agreeing
with them, except he's 100% on the money here and 100% correct when he's talking
about Israel.
The USS Liberty, knowing, we know this from NSA intercepts, that it was an American ship,
so don't, you know, just send the military our flight information and, you know, we can
all just sort of know it's on the record and we can all calm down a little bit.
No!
They said.
The US Embassy said, no.
This is, your flight is not a matter of concern to the Israeli military.
I said, okay, now.
Now you're making me uncomfortable.
isn't the airspace of Israel the purview of the Israeli military? Aren't they in charge
of maintaining the integrity of their airspace when you fly over the country of Israel? Or
any country, its military, keeps track of you because that's their job. So why wouldn't
you send our flight information to the Israeli military? You're making me nervous.
I sent this exchange. I took a screenshot of it and sent it to a bunch of people
including in the U.S. government,
because I'm not a paranoid person
and I'm not a jumpy person.
This is this weird behavior?
Yeah, it's really weird behavior.
All of them said that.
So I got pretty aggressive and just said,
look, you gotta do this.
Okay, and they, to their credit,
got back to us and said, yes, we will do that,
but I just thought that was completely bizarre
and menacing, by the way.
Now at the same time,
and I think this is relevant,
it goes to motive, I was attempting to set up a meeting as I have been for the past three months
with the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, who I've dealt with a lot in the past,
and who denounced me as a Nazi in public. I remember the woke rike. Why was I trying to
do that? Not an interview. I knew he wouldn't sit for an interview, but I wanted just to meet
with him in person. One, to show that I'm willing to go to Israel. I don't hate Israel as a country.
But two, just to say directly to him, this is bad, this should be de-escalated.
This kind of rhetoric doesn't help anybody, calling people, calling me specifically a Nazi
and an anti-Semite.
When you know that I'm not, by the way, if I was, I would just admit it.
I've said many times I think anti-Semitism is immoral.
It's against my religion.
Just as hating any group in the basis of their bloodline is immoral.
So the New Year is here, but that does not mean you've got to overhaul your whole life.
What the fuck?
I claims that, um, I found, or your Christians were j-
I know mine in California who knew him and were in regular contact with him.
In fact, I wanted to go see some of those people directly.
Please can you help me get a sit down for five minutes with Benjamin Nanyahu?
And I've probably called or met with
Six seven eight maybe more people on this question people in official capacities people in the Israeli government
I know I know a number of people in the Israeli government people in Israel a friend of mine in California who knows him
I mean I really really tried and I did so for two reasons
One because there's a threat to my family
The Israeli government and Netanyahu himself tried to punish two members of my family
I won't be more specific but actually punish two members of my family
Because he as he has said in public many times believes in blood guilt. I'm a lack
You know when someone commits a crime against you you punished up, dude
Why the fuck do you guys want me to skip this
You like get to the interview get to the interview no I want to fucking know I
Want to know what what took place about is like detainment and shit, okay calm down just him but his family his bloodline
There's no idea that's less Western than that more anti-christian than that Christians reject that
Netanyahu doesn't it's always talking about Amalek and he was going after my family literally
So I felt very threatened by that
But moreover, I think it's bad for my country
To have people using that kind of language round them up bring them to the camps gas chambers Nazis
mm-hmm, yeah
That languages was scary for our country, not the direct application of said language in the direction of migrants.
Tucker loves that shit.
He just hates it when someone is, you know, falsely calling him that only falsely in
this unique instance where he's correctly interpreting Israel's actions is unjustifiable.
Semitism, it scares the heck out of people, it makes people crazy and hysterical.
And certainly in my case, none of that is true.
I hate collective punishment.
I hate attacking people on the basis of their bloodline.
hate anti-Semitism and anti-weight racism and all of this to any kind of racism period and I've
said that a lot so using that kind of language against someone who is not fundamental your enemy
who just in my case I want Christians in areas controlled by Israel to be treated with dignity
to have rights and I don't want the US government involved in a war a regime change war with
Iran. Those are my priorities and I've said them out loud.
Not even the Muslim Jews or Christians? I have no secret agenda. So to attack me as a Nazi for
saying that suggests a total unwillingness to compromise. Anyone who doesn't agree with us 100%
must be destroyed. His family must be attacked, my family, and must be written off as a Nazi.
Well, when you do that, it makes people hysterical. It increases the temperature to a point that,
you know, someone's going to get hurt if you keep talking that way. And it's just bad. It's
bad for the United States. It's bad for the world. So I wanted to deliver that message.
I finally wound up talking to a guy called Yoram Hazoni, who is an Israeli who famously
organizes the American National Conservatism Conferences. And I said to him, look,
You're having a National Conservatism Conference in Jerusalem this summer. You asked me to speak at
the first, I think the first National Conservatism Conference in the United States. And I did,
obviously I believe in National Conservatism America first. I think every nation should
put its own people first. That's why you have governments. And I would like to speak at this
one. And moreover, I would like you to ask your friend Benjamin Nyanyahu to meet with me.
And we had this sort of long back and forth. And it was, no, you cannot speak at the
National Conservatism Conference because we're an anti-Semite. No I'm not I said,
guess you are he said. And I said well I really would like to speak to BB to kind of deescalate this
and he said it would not be in his political interest to meet with you. It's almost verbatim
what he said therefore no. So then I realized you know you're dealing with people who are
unreasonable, who are inflexible, who are in fact fanatical and then add to that of course
I think it's pretty nutty that a fucking random podcaster is like, hey, Adolf Hitler. I just want to have one conversation with you
Okay
Like every part of this story is so insane to me and yet because it's the united states of america and like podcasters become the fbi director
Um, it kind of doesn't you know podcasting is the highest thing you can be a podcasters the highest thing you can be
Um and Benjamin NDIU has talked to podcasts before like the milk boys
So
While the the entire story is completely fucking psychotic I
Guess it makes sense that a podcast would be asking for this
Experience
that my tax dollars are paying them. It's all pretty distressing. So that was the backdrop
behind our very brief and highly intense trip to Israel. So we show up on Wednesday, flying
from Europe, again at great expense, and show up at the diplomatic terminal of Ben-Gurion
airport where this interview is going to take place, which is bizarre in itself. Filthy
building. The windows are so dirty in the terminal you can't see out them barely. There's like
exposed drywall. The whole thing is depressing and grim. There's litter outside. Like, what
is this? This is the diplomatic terminal in Israel. I thought that was very strange
having been in a lot of diplomatic terminals. I've never seen a radio. When we go in
And Huckabee's there, and of course he's totally friendly, as he always is, very, very friendly guy, and cheerful, and we sort of chat, and the whole place is filled with these guys in t-shirts, thuggish-looking guys in t-shirts or some kind of security.
So we do the interview, you're about to watch it. It's very long, at two and a half hours-ish, and I try my hardest to be friendly.
I think I kind of succeeded. You can judge for yourself. But I really got the sense and again,
you can decide as you watch it that Huckabee was not well able to answer any of the questions,
but also not really in charge. You really got the feeling of a guy sort of trying his best
to repeat the talking points, but very constrained, like unable to say certain things,
not because those things might harm the interests of the U.S. government. He was happy to attack,
for example, the U.S. military and say they're more brutal than the Israeli military. Okay.
But I'm willing to say certain things because they might reflect poorly on the Israeli government.
And sort of thinking about this for a second, you're like, wait, you're the U.S. ambassador,
you're our representative to a foreign country. Why is your red line criticism of that country?
Shouldn't she be representing us? And it was very obvious he was representing the Israelis
Obvious and again, you can judge for yourself. But anyway, so we do this interview
it was cordial and
At the end
We're set to fly out. We have a time we have to get out and the plane is sitting right outside
And we're ready to go and for some reason the Israelis still have our passports. There are
five of us
there. And four of us are flying out on this plane, one's flying out commercial with our gear.
So my business partner and I, which we're standing there, we've never left the airport,
never went anywhere. But our two producers have spent the night before in Tel Aviv.
And they're called into rooms and given the third degree. Now, keep in mind,
they're about to get on a plane and leave. In fact, we're late. We have to get out of there.
there. We have a slot to get out. And security, whoever this is, won't, won't let them go.
So I don't really know what's going on at this point. I'm like, where are our guys?
We've got to get out of here. So one of them comes out and he says, that was the weirdest
experience of my life. They asked me questions about the interview. Who did you speak to?
Keep in mind, this was like eight feet from where we did the interview. Well, the U.S.
Ambassador, Mike Huckabee, what did you talk about? Why did you ask those questions?
Was it a hostile interview? Of course, everything in the diplomatic terminal is taped. Everything
Everything in Israel is tapes. It's a police state. It's a surveillance state. Obviously you get Israel. They
Put software on your phone
Everybody knows this get a constantly spying on you more than probably any other country
And so they know the answers these questions, but they're asking my producer like I
Just don't understand like who in their right mind would ever go to fucking Israel like I just doesn't make any sense
Scrub back. No, dude. Come on. It's two hours and 30 fucking minutes
Okay, stop. Also, half of the shit that he's complaining about is already happening in America as well.
And he loves it when it's happening in America.
Where do you work? How many people work there? Do you go to the office? Where is the office? What are their names?
They're doing like an intel op and humiliation exercise on my producer. This isn't security. We're leaving right now.
And they're holding his passport. The interrogator is holding the passport in his hand as he's asking his questions.
questions. So he's telling me this. And I'm listening to that radio thing. I've
heard Puckabee's gone by this point. You're an American citizen. It's just a
conversation with the US ambassador. And some thug is demanding details of that
conversation. And I hope you didn't answer. He's like, no, I didn't. I don't
know what to say. Meanwhile, our last guy, the youngest man who's traveling
with us, our last producer is still in a room being questioned. So I pull over
one of the guys and said, oh, we got to get out of here. So I don't know
what this is about. It's outrageous.
I've hated Tucker Carlson for many, many years at this point. I've
said that he is one of the most cancerous entities in American politics and I never could have ever
imagined in my entire fucking life where I would in a million years I never thought that I would
see Tucker Carlson as a sympathetic figure in any equation okay so congratulations Israel I mean he
He is still evil. Okay. He's insincere. He's evil. He's the son of agents of the CIA, of an agent of the CIA is that is responsible for a voice of America. Right.
He says it here. I mean, he is deeply tapped with the Trump administration.
I do think ultimately that he would love to do Israel in America, or what he calls legacy
Americans.
I think he finally got to you.
He's not sympathetic.
there is this is like when pedophilia hunters are like unsavory individuals themselves right
but why do they do that why do they go out and like hunt pedophiles even though they're also
fucking weirdos they do that because like that's the ultimate evil right in the eyes of many people
that's the ultimate evil
and in this circumstance that's what Tucker Carlson is doing he's like the petto hunter
except, unlike with pedo hunters, as much as there is support that you can accrue for, you know, being anti-Israel,
a lot of you don't understand the downsides of being anti-Israel.
I don't talk about it too much. You obviously are aware of some of it, right? You see some of it in public,
public with like the ADL stuff, CIGA demanding I'm not allowed to enter the state of Canada,
the nation state of Canada, stuff like that is every day.
But there are a lot of fucking downsides.
There are a lot of downsides that I will never discuss that comes along with it.
Okay.
you're going to be okay in I.A.? In any case, for that reason, all I'm saying is, especially
if you're a person with like, oh, inshallah, oh, thank you. I.A. means inshallah. Okay.
I didn't know that internal audit.
Okay.
Okay.
And the point is
Israel is so cancerous that it makes and its allies are so flagrant,
so ruthless, so brutal, that it makes anyone opposing them look better by design. And Tucker
Carlson is one of those people. And, you know, there's nothing I can do about this point, but we
got to go. And this one goes up to me and says, look, let's just go, we're going to bring you
to the plane and he'll come later. I said, no, it's my producer. He's being interrogated.
asked totally with America. No, America doesn't have the same intensity against its naysayers.
And the reason why I say that is because the reason why I say that is because like America
doesn't operate like a small nation. Israel also has that like small bean
reasoning for why they go so hard. America is the most powerful nation on the planet. So if
you're an American citizen and a dissident of the United States of America, like I am Tucker
is not. I actually am, right? Obviously, I still get, for the time being at least, I get to travel
wherever I want to, like, at most I've been detained, right? My customs and border patrol
had my global entry taken from me, stuff like that. Those are setbacks, they're annoying, but
It's not the end of the world for the time being, of course.
I would not be able to enter the nation state of Israel.
Okay, there's just no world where I would be able to go to Israel.
I don't want to go to Israel anyway, but there is not, like I am seen, I am perceived as a
much larger threat to the state of Israel than I am to the United States of America,
because the United States of America is immensely powerful.
Do you understand?
Your Jersey boy swag will overtake everything once you land.
I swear to God.
Yeah.
It's also worth saying you were likely detained.
No, I was.
I was literally detained in the United States of America for my criticism of Israel.
America won't detain you for your criticism of America. America would rather detain you and deport you if they can
Because like mom with Kalil
He can be as critical as he wants about America green card holder. No one bats an eye
Mom with Kalil is critical of Israel all of a sudden that becomes a massive problem
He has to be deported. He has to be we have to take away his green card
Like that's that's how it is
It seems like Jewish dissidents in Israel can move freely though. No, that's also not true
There are Israeli Jews living in Israel that are anti Zionist and and they you know, they they suffer repercussions
However, if you are Jewish and an anti Zionist and you want to go to Israel
It depends on how much clout you have
There are plenty of people
who are anti-Zionist Jews from the United States of America from all different parts of the world that have
tried to go to Israel to at least like get into the West Bank and have been stopped and deported.
Wow, so nuanced. What is this? Kick nuts. Time to kick some nuts.
Let's...
Yeah, if you're like a normie and you're an anti-Zionist, you're probably fine.
But if you're Norm Finkelstein, they don't let you in.
Norm Finkelstein was denied entry into the State of Israel.
Over the top, fully inappropriate questions that have nothing to do with security at all.
You know, pull up your website, show us your text exchanges with other people on your staff.
What are your politics like?
And again, what did you say to the US Ambassador and what did he say back to you?
Those are not relevant questions if you're trying to keep your country secure.
Those are intel questions.
And they're over the top.
And I said, I want this guy out now.
Let's go.
You know, we got to go.
And they said, no, no.
the plane later. Twice they told me to just leave your guy behind. No, I don't think so.
So I was enraged by this. Get on the plane. We get a text from a reporter who somehow knew
that this had happened. I have no idea how. I had no interest in publicizing it actually.
There was a long trail that showed that the U.S. Embassy had been coordinating against us in
meaning public relations before we even got there.
They were leaking that we demanded to do it at the airport because we were afraid to go
into Israel.
We're cowards.
Okay.
We're cowards.
Right.
And so I just said to the reporter by text, they pulled my guys into a room interrogating
them.
This is outrageous, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
The interesting thing is I never heard from Huckabee or anybody to this moment from
the U.S. Embassy about what security did to my producers. They didn't ask us, and instead
Huckabee went out and called me a liar. So it raises, again, the question, who exactly
is Huckabee working for? We're American citizens in a foreign country. He's our ambassador.
He represents our country. We pay his salary, but he's taking the side of the foreign
government without even calling to say, hey, what happened to you at the airport?
Did you get hassled?
Did your guys get hassled?
No.
You just immediately repeat their lies without even consulting us.
So what are we looking at here?
We're looking at the reality, which is if you're an American in Israel, you can be certain
that your government will take the side of the Israeli government and not your side.
Really? Is that so different from the experience of Americans in the United States?
Can you be sure that your government will take your side over the Israeli government?
No, of course not. They will always take the Israeli government side over yours and
That's the core problem
Even if you support a war with Iran, I think we really the most pressing issue for Americans is that we kill the Ayatollah or whatever
You still have a fair expectation that your government because it is yours
You pay for it. It exists to serve you and for no other reason you have an expectation that your government will take your side against a foreign government
But the daily lived reality the obvious truth visible to every single American is that's the opposite of
Reality in fact if you criticize Israel in your country
Your government will work to censor you if there's a standoff between you and BB
You know who side your government's going to take BB side
That is not sustainable. That is too humiliating. It's too clearly an inversion of the natural order. Your government exists for you, not for a foreign government.
But that's not how we live in this country or in Israel. So that's what we learned. And one last thing.
He's really apparently went to the surveillance tape inside the diplomatic terminal and pulled
some clip, of course getting all their robots online to promote it of me with my arm around
somebody to show that actually I'm lying about what happened.
That person was our driver who drove us from the plane to the terminal, short drive.
Very nice guy, good guy, really guy.
And right when we arrived and he said, can I get a picture?
Of course.
He's a nice man.
So I just put my arm around him and took a picture.
That's what that is.
views before our producers were hassled by the thugs and asked ridiculous questions before
any of this happened.
So that's just another installment of Propagandore.
I thought we'd give you the backstory on that.
People seem to be more inflamed, not just emotionally, but fit to each other and not
about each other.
And I appreciate very much your coming here to talk to me.
Of course.
I'm only saying a couple of hours, unfortunately, because I kind of shoehorned this in, but
I hope that I'll be back soon.
And I hope that I can come back soon because I actually like, despite what you may hear,
I actually like the country.
I've been here a lot.
And there are a lot of things I like.
This was the clip.
I think Tucker Carlson's lying.
Yeah.
Um, I suspect they received the standard questioning that anyone traveling to and from Israel.
Guess is the kind of questioning that can seem intimidating at first on travels with
others.
Very, very well traveled.
But I also think it's important to be consistent about what we consider exculpatory evidence
in a 22nd clip isn't, uh, isn't sufficient.
Breaking via all the London TV who obtained exclusive footage of Tucker Carlson's detainment
at Israel's airport.
And by detain, I mean smiling and posing with a fan thoughts and prayers.
So they got this is the clip that he was talking about that that made him.
This is the clip that these really government is using to say like, oh, they didn't do
any sort of like fuck shit to the producers or anything like that.
Would you ever go to Israel fuck no? Yeah, I'll go to Palestine
There are some really really powerful moments from this interview we'll start here and then we'll go to some of the high notes in a second
Oh about it. Yeah, and I want to talk to people in it for like a week only 38,000 likes in seven hours
wait what? What are you talking about? This is half a million views in seven hours. It is absolutely
not being suppressed. You have to get a better sense of it. So I want to ask you, everyone I've
talked to in preparation for this has said the same thing. Jonathan Pollard? Yeah. I'm just
going to show the name to you and have you explain. No, I'm glad you asked. You know,
of course, interestingly, there's been a lot of things about it. You're the first person
who has asked me about it, which I find amazing. So I'm glad you do it. Yeah,
the very first time. Well, it's better to hear it. Sure. I met Jonathan Pollard two
times. Once I was making a speech in Jerusalem. This has been a few years ago. His wife
was still alive at the time and he was there and someone introduced me to him and his wife.
I said hello to them. That was it. Hi. Nice to meet Esther, his wife and that was it. I went
made my speech and I left. Later his wife passed away here in Israel and I sent him a note and just
said I'm sorry to hear about your wife. I remember meeting her at the hotel and sorry to hear it.
He then asked could he come and see me? He wanted to come and thank me for being kind to
him. He came to the embassy. I think we met for maybe 30 minutes. We had a nice pleasant
visit. The funny thing was the New York Times reported that it was a secret meeting.
Hucker, if you've ever been to the US Embassy, you would know there's no such thing as a secret
meeting at the US Embassy. There are cameras everywhere. You walk through Marines. You
walk through security. You walk through the front office and there's a dozen or more people
that are going to check you out when you come in. Before you get there, you're going to have
to give us your passport information. You're going to have to be vetted in screen and all
of this stuff. So the idea that it was secret was ludicrous. The whole idea is,
look, Jonathan Pollard did something that was terribly wrong. He sold secrets.
He shouldn't have done it. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison and spent 30,
actually I think his sentence to maybe more than 30 years but he spent 30 years in prison.
Most people convicted of something similar which was one count I believe would have spent two to
four but he spent 30. I don't have a problem with him spending 30 because I think what he did
was despicable. I'm not defending anything about what he did but even people like the former
director of the CIA, a number of other senators on the Senate Foreign Relations of the Senate
Intel committee said that he should be allowed to leave and move to Israel if he wanted to.
So it to me was not as big a deal that I had this basically courtesy meeting.
He wanted to thank me for being nice to him when his wife died.
That's pretty much the same.
You advocated for his release when you ran for, I remember it, 2011, long before he
had served 30 years.
And I agree with you that there are a lot of people languishing in prison, you
know in our country and in this country, many countries, you know, for longer periods than
they deserve. And I think it's a Christian impulse to
Yeah, no, Tucker is a real Christian, as we know, he famously is very woke to want to
see them free. But this was the greatest trader in modern American history who sold
our battle plans sold our battle plans against the Soviet Union, our main enemy in the
Cold War to the Israeli government, which according to our Reagan CIA director, Bill
Casey, then gave them to the Soviet Union.
So this was the most profound betrayal of the United States in my lifetime.
Why advocate for that guy's release before he serves his full sentence?
If that were the case in 2011, it would have been because I had a number of friends
It suggested that he had more than served time and he didn't want to live in the US anymore
He wanted to live in Israel and
But my association with him again, I'd never met him until I met him in Jerusalem at a hotel
That was the first time I had ever encountered him. I'm friends with a million bad people or I've talked to a million bad
I'm sitting here with you
I mean come on. I mean Jesus ain't a tax collector. So I trust me
I am do not judge people who are friends or know or enjoy the company of immoral people because it's not an endorsement of their
Moral behavior
Pollard is different
I think once you become you as ambassador the representative of the president of the United States and the United States of America in a foreign country
And then you invite
Not only the most damaging
Betrayer in our lifetimes, but also a guy who continues to advocate for betrayal
So he gave an interview, as I know you know, in 2021 to Israeli media, in which he said,
I would encourage Jewish Americans with security clearances to spy for Mossad against their
own country, the United States, because, and I'm pretty much quoting him, all Jews should
have dual loyalty.
That's a, that's not repentance.
That's not someone who feels bad.
He did say that John L. Pollard literally said that, which is fucking crazy.
That about what he did?
That's someone who's encouraging American Jews to betray their country.
That's pretty heavy, don't you think?
Oh, I do.
And I disagree with that wholeheartedly.
I think let's remember it was President Trump who probably facilitated his
departure and I'm certainly supportive of President Trump.
I think you are.
and ballers got he called him a madman well after your meeting that's why I
say but Pollard is is not for me the real issue it was the fact that he did
something that was despicable I'm not denying that of course he did and he
paid dearly for 30 years in prison and he should have that that's what he should
have done there's no no question about why meet with him in the US Embassy
your colleagues said they were shocked they said who were the colleagues that
said they were shocked quoted on background in the New York Times I
I think the meeting was in August.
This could all be fake.
That's why I'm asking you.
Well, the same New York Times said it was a secret meeting.
And I'm telling you, there's no such thing
as a secret meeting in the US embassy.
Do you see why the US ambassador hosting
a convicted betrayer of his own country
who's encouraging Americans to continue
to betray their country would seem shocking?
Well, I would say that it wasn't that I,
you make it sound like I'm hosting a meeting.
I simply met with him.
I meet with people all the time.
some of them just walk in without a, no, they have to have an appointment.
Of course they do. Oh, so it is hosting him that I think, well, I don't know if it was
hosting, but it was certainly he was able to come to the SMC to have a meeting at his
request. I did. By the way,
the entire Epstein stuff is literally like being homies with the most unsavory
individuals. So yeah, I do think it kind of, it depends on like what the
interaction is and what the involvement is, but if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck
is probably a duck, right? Like I'm sure there were people that have been in the vicinity of
Jeffrey Epstein in the past that were very critical of him or hated him or whatever the fuck, right?
And the same goes for Jonathan Pollard. It's just your Mike Huckabee.
You know, you invited him. You like him. You agree with him.
You are one of the most insane ultra-zine is out there.
And frankly, I don't regret it.
I met with a lot of people over the course of the time I've been here and we'll meet
both a lot more.
That's it.
So, if you spend the evening at...
There have been Americans in prison in Israel.
There have also been, and there continue to be, dozens and dozens and dozens of...
of Secretary of Intelligence asset. Yes. Chatter. He's literally the U S Ambassador to Israel
or more like the Israeli ambassador to the United States. Like there is no ambassador
out there. That's not an asset. They're a part of the State Department, which literally
He is a functioning arm of the CIA, more like the pleasant arm of the CIA.
Okay, that was a joke, right?
Holy shit, I have no idea how that slipped me.
I feel like U.S. Ambassador to Israel is redundant.
Yeah.
Or Israel Ambassador to the U.S.
offenders accused sex offenders from the United States who fled to Israel
including one recently an Israeli government official who was caught trying to molest a 15 year old girl and
This is happened fled to Israel in Nevada
It's not going back ironic because it was his opsec to
Benjamin Netanyahu's like cybersecurity official
got caught
by the American federal authorities trying to
trying to hook up with a 15 year old, trying to do statutory rape to the United States to
stand charges for attempted molestation of a child. Have you advocated for the Israeli
government to return him to the United States? I'm not familiar with that case. Oh, come to
us at the end. Cap, get the fuck out of here. You're not familiar with that case.
The first time that that case became the first time that case hit. No, I take it
back when the guy literally told the law enforcement officers that arrested him
that he was Israeli that's when Mike Huckabee was like I sense a
disturbance in the force one of my favorite people on the planet one of my
favorite molesters is under threat I must save him I must save a ham see so I'm
not where is this the person in Nevada that is correct okay I heard
I would imagine so yeah, I heard about it, but I heard about it through open source media
It was never something that was presented to us, but I would have no problem with
In being extradited back to the US you're the president's and our country's representative in the state of Israel
So I think it would fall to you to advocate with your friend the prime minister to say wait a second
We have a very close relationship
We're obviously the single largest source of outside funding for this country
How can you take an accused child molester and shield him from American justice?
Send him back to the United States. Have you ever had that conversation?
To be fair
To be fair
Mike Huggaby might be the only guy on the planet
That could turn around a Tucker Carlson and say well Tucker
where I've actually tried to stop American child molesters from going to prison as well.
Not just Israeli ones.
I'm, you see, I'm, I'm a prison abolitionist for one issue and that's the molestation
of children.
Okay.
He is the only guy, I mean, not the only guy, but he's one of the few guys who could
literally turn around and be like, no, it's just, I'm a fan of child molestation and
Therefore, I want to make sure that child molesters are allowed to be Roman free.
Come on now, Tucker, age is nothing but a number, you know? That's all it is. That's all it is.
No, because the Prime Minister would not be the proper person that made Israel, pardon my ignorance, that would deal with an extradition.
it would go through their court system. And so the Prime Minister is separate,
very similar to what we have in the US, where there is a separation of powers.
So it would go through something other than the Prime Minister.
Have you advocated to the courts, to judges, to anybody in the Israeli
justice system? There's never been a request for me to engage in that.
I would be happy to do it if the...
Oh, the joke I'm making is about the Duggars.
Um, yeah, one of the most famous cases of, uh, of, of being caught with, you know,
almost a terabyte worth of child sexual abuse material.
Uh, how could be stood by the Duggar family?
Good people make mistakes.
I don't think, I don't think we should be punishing people for that kind of thing.
White House sent a message to me, I do work for the president, I serve it as pleasure.
If anyone at the White House were to say to me, would you please go and make a case for
it?
But probably if that were to happen, it wouldn't come through the embassy as much as it would
likely come from the Department of Justice at the U.S. in D.C., they would make the
request.
They might involve us, but they very likely would not.
it seems strange to you that people accused of child molestation in the United States are
allowed to have refuge in our, within the borders of our closest ally?
Well, Tucker, I think they should just stay in Arkansas.
Have you thought about that?
I've been long petitioning the American government to let Arkansas roam free, unshackled,
burdened by the restrictive nature of age of consent laws. As a matter of fact, my daughter,
you might know her, Sarah fuckabee Sanders played a formative role in tackling one of the aspects
of the nanny state by allowing child labored to no longer be illegal. That's right. That's a real,
Look it up. That's a real thing. My daughter did that. She signed that in the law.
And guess what?
I want pedophiles and children to roam free in our cases.
Otherwise, who are the pedophiles going to fuck Tucker? That's right.
How that doesn't make sense to me. Well, I would say that if you've molested
an American child, shouldn't be required. It's an allegation. Let's be clear.
One of the things about our system of jurisprudence,
innocent until you're proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. So if the charges are there,
should he be extradited? I would say so. The charges are there. Yeah. Okay. So
they should be, but that's a justice department decision. And they're the ones who should be
pursuing it. To my knowledge, they have it. They certainly haven't engaged the U S embassy.
Oh, why would the Israeli? That's crazy that there's interview literally like five minutes
in and he's already out here defending Israeli pedophiles. Bro, bro, it is the toughest
job on the planet. You have to be uniquely evil to have to defend Israel, but it really
is the toughest job on the planet. It's like, Oh, wow, Israel. So you're the U S ambassador to Israel.
What do you think about the Israeli pedophile that tried to molest a 15 year old American girl
and was caught and then immediately escaped to the beautiful state of Israel? What do you
What do you think about that?
He's like, well, well, now you see now, sometimes, sometimes temptation rises in my
lones.
Government harbor.
Also, we went from, I haven't heard of it to, well, you see, maybe he's innocent
after all.
It's fucking crazy.
For fugitives from justice in the United States.
I'm not sure that there are dozens and dozens and dozens of factors in Israeli group that
keeps track of them that is dedicated Jewish Israeli group dedicated to combating the molestation
of children and keeps a long list and then you can look it up and I would hope you're
not saying that you think the Israelis support the molestation of children.
Obviously.
Obviously.
I'm saying that the Israeli government allows shields, you know, accused child molesters
from justice and I'm not sure I could say that that's something that is provable.
I don't know, but I am not aware.
Well, you see, Michael, the entire reason for why there are Israeli Jewish organizations
that specifically try to combat this thing is because it does happen a lot.
So much so that even the American media that would normally obviously, you know, shy
away from criticizing the state of Israel has written extensively about how Israel
Israel is seen as a pedophile safe haven of sorts.
That's not my assessment.
I would never say such unkind words about the most beautiful nation state on the planet,
Israel, and Israel high, and Israel high, and Israel high, please don't, you know, hopefully
my internet doesn't go out.
But that's, that's not my statement on the matter.
Oh, that's CBS news.
Now this is pre Barry Weiss.
Now, Jews, American pedophiles hide from justice in Israel, a widespread problem.
Just, you know, that's, that's Barry White, currently Barry White's own outlet.
T.D. coming in with drones as we speak, so I just, you know, I saw a clip this, it's
gone next Tuesday.
Nah.
I'm sure that the Israeli government is shielding people.
You obviously want to sleep well in faggot.
Oh, come on, man.
They all fucking slammed ass everywhere.
And I've written it down, but of course my handwriting is so terrible I can't read
it.
But yes, he is an Israeli, I believe, cybersecurity official who was at a conference in Las Vegas
last year and was caught up in a-
You see, Tucker, there it is.
He was actually trying to penetrate the cybersecurity of America.
He was trying to, he was pentesting, Tucker.
He was trying to see if Americans will stop Israeli molestation from taking place on U.S.
soil, and his job is done, I think, no reason to convict.
He was at a hackers conference, seeing if he could do a penetration test.
What you and I know to call a white hat pedophile, that's what he was.
see. Oh, that's a good one too. Wait, what happens in Vegas mean nothing to you? I thought
we had an arrangement. I thought everyone around the world knew that what happens in
Vegas stays in Vegas.
Staying.
Hmm.
I'm getting more increasingly more Kevin Spacey with it for some reason.
Designed to catch people soliciting sex from children. He was one of a number of
people arrested for this. He was arraigned and charged. And then two days later, he fled to Israel.
Tucker, I'll have you know, it brings me no joy to say this, but have you considered that the man
you're talking about used to be a child at one point? That's right, Tucker. He was a child too.
Yeah, bet you never considered that. You anti-Semite.
Israel and did his first hearing by Zoom. He was allowed for some reason to leave for a foreign
country having already been charged for a attempted molestation of a child and he remains here now
and there have been many news stories about this and I just wonder if you would ask the Israeli
government to say... You don't believe we're all children under God, we're all a child of God.
I put him on a plane and sent him back to face justice for attempting to molest an American
child.
It doesn't seem complicated.
No, I wouldn't mind doing that.
But what is this loud and hard F?
What?
Shielding people.
You obviously want to sleep well in faggots.
Oh, come on, man.
You got fucking slammed ass everywhere.
And I've written down.
Oh, these are the Fs.
It sounded like these are the Fs, lured.
Damn.
I want to find out if the Justice Department in the U.S. has already sought to extradite
him.
I don't know why wouldn't they seek to extradite? I have no idea. That's a question for the Justice Department
I have many questions for the Justice Department like why are
Millions of Epstein files still classified. What do you think that is? I have no idea. I haven't kept up with that
I've never met the man. I don't know him. You've been kept up with the Epstein disclosure. I mean only from a distance
I'm 6,000 miles away from DC these days on yeah, but you're very close in proximity to a country that is deeply involved with
Jeffrey Epstein like you're inside of it right now. God damn! God damn! Oh I'm too far away
in proximity to Jeffrey Epstein. Six thousand miles away. Pretty sure that there's so much
going on. The current president of Israel, current president, like you know President
Herzog. Going very well. Apparently was at Petal Island. That's what it says in the
disclosures. And of course we know that the former prime minister, Ahud Barak, was
living on and off at Epstein's house. So, still living high level Israeli...
This is what I mean when I say like, the worst, one of the worst American political villains
of all time, Tucker Carlson, literally comes across like a decent human being in this
conversation because that's how fucking evil Israel is. Okay? It's so strange
that I'm like, which, who do I side with here? Do I side with Israeli Hitler or American Hitler?
At least American Hitler hates Israeli Hitler, but like Israeli Hitler is in Israel, American
Hitler is in America. And if he actually sees his power in America, then that's worse
for like my neighbors. And for me, you know, this is the calculation that's going on
in my mind. Of course, from this, you know, from where I'm standing, let him fight.
Right? I mean, it's great.
are directly implicated in Epstein's life, if not his crime.
So I would think that you-
I guess my lipped up sensibilities
causes me to take the harm reduction here,
the harm reduction approach, the lesser evil approach,
which would be 99% Hitler is better than 100% Hitler
and Tucker Carlson is 99% Hitler,
the 1% being also pro-Israel.
Be following this.
only I was not aware that there was any connection with President Herzog.
I would be surprised to hear that and knew there was about the former prime
minister who apparently had a lot of dealings with Epstein business dealings.
And by the way, I'm not alleging anything, but I mean, it's in.
Yes, in the Epstein thousand and I don't know that I've heard the current
president of Israel respond to it, but he is listed as a visitor to Petto
Island. So that that's kind of a big deal.
I wonder, considering there are so many suggestions
in the files, as I'm sure you know, of sexual abuse
and given that Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted sex
of founder, I wonder why the administration you work for
would be holding millions of files, which I believe
belong to the public, hidden, for quote,
national security reasons.
What would those national security reasons be, do you
think?
Honestly, I think you've probably got more access
to the White House sometimes than I do.
You should ask them.
Oh, well, you're, but you're the government official represent.
That's crazy to say, dog, you're the US ambassador to Israel, also known as the
most important ambassador, perhaps the only ambassador that matters to the
country, the only country on the planet.
What the fuck are you saying?
Who has better access to the, like Tucker Carlson is pretty connected.
Tucker Carlson is pretty connected to the American government. That's why he keeps getting these fucking interviews and I am jealous of that
I will say like he is such he was such a monster and still is such a monster for so long that all of these other monsters think
Oh, of course, I'll have a comfortable conversation with Tucker Carlson. He's Tucker Carlson
That's why he gets these guys by the way. That's why he had that fucking Ted Cruz interview
Like they literally think oh that's the devil I know I mean it's Tucker Carlson
Of course he's gonna be he's not gonna go there, you know even then he goes there and they're like oh my god
I can't put all my stars in goreters. I didn't realize
He's he was gonna he's gonna go that hard and now White House in Israel
And I represent the US in Israel to the Israeli government from the US government, but honestly
Nobody has presented that to us. Well, now that you know the dynamic situation here
I don't know if you know that or not, but there's a lot going on in this part of the world and frankly that has not been
top
Line item, but you're surprised to hear that the current president of Israel whom you know is listed as a visitor to pet oil
I've never-
How do you reconcile advocating class consulate on mocking Southern accents so gratuitously?
Um, it's awesome, and it's very funny.
Also, I am trying to do the Mike Fuckabee accent, you know what I mean?
Maybe you should try being not so sensitive.
That's- that's one- one way to get over it, you know?
I heard that.
Never heard of even in the Israeli press.
Are you gonna ask him next time you see him?
I'll be happy to.
Talk to him almost every week.
I guess what I'm asking is not simply as a representative of my government or a high
U.S. official but just as like a man and a father and etc.
Sorry, I gotta hit this.
I gotta hit this with a chatter.
Liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, happy fun, lalalala,
human smuggling, fentanyl desk, forced government euthanasia, lacha, chopping up children's
As you live of the day, woke of the day and how could you resist saying like, were you
on petto island with Jeffrey Epstein?
Well, if I'm not aware of it and secondly, there are a lot of things that go on in the
world.
I don't question every single person about every single thing that may be a country.
I understand all that, but this is the first I've ever heard of this.
So why do you expect me to have knowledge of something like that?
Well, because you attacked me personally for suggesting that Jeffrey Epstein had ties to
Mossad and you said that-
You think he does?
Well, it's very clear he does.
You think he does?
Yeah.
Where do you get that?
Well, the fact that he was in contact repeatedly with members of the Israeli government, including
the current president and the former prime minister and all kinds of Israeli intel-connected
people, I'm not saying he worked for Mossad.
I don't think we know that.
But there's no question that he had extensive contact with CIA.
I think you said at a turning point event everybody knows Jeffrey Epstein
I said everyone thinks and it turns out everyone was right that he did have not sure everyone was right or everyone thinks
Okay, but you said that I was lying and I don't want to make this about me. I said you were lying Tucker. I don't recall just saying
Well Steve thank you for the 50
Gifted subs. Why don't we release all the files and then we don't need to guess
I got no problem with that. Go ahead, but it's all you can't fucking defend this shit like oh
How anti-Semitic of you Tucker?
How dare you think this man who was
Hosting not only the Israeli president, but also the former Israeli prime minister at it
Many of his different locations where he was doing international sex trafficking of minors
Would somehow be involved with the beautiful nation state of Israel
even though there are thousands upon thousands of emails that are now released to the public where he's talking about
setting up surveillance contracts both inside of Israel and also Israeli surveillance contracts outside of Israel
How dare you say that I do declare my sir my good sir
It's obvious that he was actually an agent of Iran
That's the argument? That's the fucking argument, dude?
Well, because you weighed in on it and said that this was not true.
I said there was no evidence. Well, there's quite a bit of evidence,
but you haven't apparently bothered to read any of the files.
Is that what you're saying?
I have not read the Epstein files, apparently you have.
you have.
Well, they're on the internet.
But when you say that there's, that everybody knows that Jeffrey Epstein was a Masaade,
should everyone believe that?
I don't think everybody does.
I don't know.
Well, everyone knows that he had contact with, and by the way, not just Israeli intelligence,
American intelligence, which is more, much more distressing for me.
I'm not Israeli.
I'm American.
I don't want my government having any contact with someone like Jeffrey Epstein.
So the shame, I wouldn't either, is on the United States, as far as I'm concerned,
just to be totally clear about that.
very sensitive about the Israel connection, not at all sensitive about the U.S. connection,
which I found very revealing. We should care about what our government does first, I think.
But since you weighed in on it and said there's no evidence, I'm surprised that since that
evidence has been open to the public for a month, since you've already weighed in
publicly on this question, that you've made no effort to evaluate that evidence. Why
Why is that?
I've just told you, I was certainly not aware that there were some specific allocations.
I knew about the former prime minister, but I don't know him.
Not sure I've ever met him in my many times, you know, I've been to Israel over a hundred
times since 1973, the first, oh my God.
That's great.
What the fuck?
Bro, that's a crazy amount to go to Israel.
crazy about to go to any country. It's crazy, dude. What the fuck? I guess he's just living
his dream now. He's just living there. That could be you for China, but you're weak.
At that point, I would just move, man. What do you mean?
I came here was 1973, July, and it's almost 53 years of coming and going to this country.
I know the country well and I know a lot of people here, but I don't know everything and
I don't know everybody, but I do a lot of people.
Of course, no, and I can see your love for tonight.
I think that's great.
But I'm talking about the U.S. government and its responsibility to, you know, there's
a lot of complaint about conspiracy theories.
Motor standards, they give the five gift in.
A hater, everyone's a signing motive, but there's a way to end these conversations
very quickly with facts. And I'm highly confused by have you brought this up to the president?
Uh, I mean, no, I don't, I don't work for him. I've said this many times,
you don't work for him, but you, you go to the White House and you see people there.
You and JD Vance are very good. Kind of got his ass there.
Fucking got him. I mean, actually, have you brought this up to the president that you see
all the time. That's a good UNO reverse card. This is, I mean, this is what happens when
two demons match up, you know what I mean? Good friends. So have you brought this up to them?
Because I have brought this up in a public community. Not on that portfolio, but apparently it's
highly, very strongly on your mind. And I'm just saying you should do a significant concern
for me. It should be for everybody. Well, there's in a particular there is in charge
charged a child molester.
But I'm saying if you are very involved in the details of this and you think it's the
US government that's hiding and shielding somebody then bring it up to the people that
you personally know.
I don't think that.
I know it because the Justice Department has said we have millions of documents we're
not releasing.
Why are they not releasing it?
I'm asking you as a US government official, but what the answer is, I'm a government
official at the embassy in Jerusalem that has not one thing to do with the Justice
department and what they're investigating on any given day.
And I don't want to argue or talk in circles, but you were the one who brought it up and
said it's absolutely not true.
I was only responding to what I heard you say.
Okay, but now that you know there's evidence and we can settle this debate, you haven't
looked at the evidence and you're not pushing for the release of the total corpus
of evidence.
And I'm confused because I want to believe that your goal is to get to the truth
within the fastest way to do that is by releasing the evidence.
Don't you think you suggest that I can release the evidence?
I'm suggesting that you could call for it right now.
Well, I, by and call for it.
I would list, let's have it all open.
I thought it was being all opened up for everything I.
Once it's open, I hope you'll read it
because it's, it's really interesting.
And then it puts to rest a lot of the, the debate
and it ends the name calling
because we can say here it is right there.
And we don't have to call people names.
We can just assess the documents.
let me ask you to bring it up i hope you will bring it up to people at the
white house though i thought i'd brought i'm bringing it up right now i'm
bringing it up now and i'm
asking i just want to say this one last time as the u.s. ambassador to israel
i hope that you will make a formal request to the israeli government
to send it every accused sex offender
in this country back to the united states to face justice
and i don't understand why that hasn't been done
I'm I'm confused. Oh, he's he don't like that. I know this is Tucker style, but this interview feels extra passive aggressive. It's fucking amazing. God, I could sit through this forever. I mean, this is going to do numbers in the WhatsApp onks to oh my God, the entire
Umma is shaking right now
Some of them actually
Some of them actually broke their fast without realizing because they were watching this this video, okay?
This is like
You rarely ever get a chance to have one of these fucking demons in such like a like a disarmed environment
It's crazy.
Well, we'll try to clear up all the confusion that we have.
Well, if someone's been accused of trying to molest a child, I think it's certainly an out-of-touch of the justice department,
because it is a DOJ issue, and it would be handled through DOJ, the U.S., to the court systems in Israel.
That's how it would be handled.
But the first step is the Israeli government saying, yes, we will allow you to extradite this person back,
and the person is being shielded by the government.
That's why the person's here.
That's why he fled here,
so he wouldn't have to stand trial
for trying to molest a child.
I wanna get to the, as I said at the outset,
I said something awful that I regret
that my wife barked at me about.
I lashed out at Christian Zionists and evangelicals,
and I just wanna say again that I'm sorry.
I've always liked them because they're pro-life
and they're also really nice people.
So for the third time, I'm sorry that I said that.
I think part of my problem was,
I don't understand the theology and you are not a fake Baptist minister, you're an actual
minister, you had a church for many years, you're an actual theologian.
So, and I mean this was sincerity.
I hear people say those who bless Israel will be blessed.
I know it's a reference to Genesis.
I don't understand the connection between that concept and modern Israel and the
geopolitical world.
And so I'm going to stand back and let's first define because, you know, from
my days as a debater in high school and college, one of the things that I knew you didn't start
the debate till you defined the terms.
Amen.
Let's define the term.
Thank you.
What is a Christian Zionist?
Okay.
What does that mean to you?
What does it mean?
I don't know.
It's the people who call me a Nazi for asking what Israel means.
I mean, that's kind of my problem.
Yeah, but here's the point.
If you say a Christian Zionist is a person who has a brain virus and is guilty of
That's a pretty big chart. I know I shouldn't have made it. I shouldn't have made it
I made it out of anger and ignorance so
He's such a bitch
He's such a bitch
I'm just yeah. No, you should say that I think
Zionism is a cancerous fascist ideology and it don't matter what
Qualifier you have in front of it Christian Jewish Muslim doesn't fucking matter
They're still fascist and they're brain diseased
That's it. Oh
Wow, I shouldn't have said that. Oh, I'm so sorry
Fucking bitch and Christian
I think we can agree is somebody who follows Jesus Christ exactly has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ
Believe in his death burial resurrection
Has repented of one sense and it accepted him as one savior with that prayer and that's it
Define that. Zionist. A Zionist simply means a person who believes that the Jewish people have a right to have a homeland where they have security and safety.
Did you believe that the Jews have a right to live in Israel? Do you believe that?
A Nazi simply means, Tucker, now you know this as well as I do.
people of the Aryan nation having a homeland in Germany and greater Germany
just like Israel and greater Israel both have a right to exist. That's simply
what it is. Why do you hate Aryans and white people having their own homeland
rid of the scourge of the uninitiated, the socialist, communist, Jews, the
disabled the Roma population? Simply, simply speaking, do all people not have
the right to a homeland? They didn't say dying room is what they need. They said
they need living room, Tucker. That's right. Living room, not dying room. Jews
have a right to live in Israel? That would be as honest. That's all as honest as it is.
I have a million questions about what all of those terms mean. But conceptually,
I wish Israel no harm. I don't want to see them. Very welcome to have a place where they could live
with safety and security. So I saw this recently in an extremely... This is where Tucker Carlson,
not being any designers and being low-key, a little bit of a fascist, actually puts them at odds
with the way that, uh, Cuckabee is framing the conversation, right? Cause like, I mean, he'll,
I'm sure he'll do a good job, uh, slicing and dicing through this, but like the reality of the
matter is no, there is no, there is no like established right that one people can go and
kill a bunch of people that are not a part of that in group and like settle there. That's
That's ridiculous. There was a country that tried to do that. That country is called Nazi
Germany. There was another country that tried to do that called Rhodesia. It doesn't exist
anymore. Right? Like, there have been countries that have attempted to do this and they failed.
They failed in large part because like in the case of Nazi Germany, we fought back.
Right? And it was good that we fought back.
exchange between the lieutenant governor of Texas who I know and I've always liked and a woman I don't know never met
Who's on the religious liberty commission or something and she said I'm a Catholic, but I'm not a Zionist and
the ferocious exchange and
He kept saying and everyone on the panel seemed to keep saying
You have to believe in Israel's right to exist
I've never kind of questioned just for the record, but it did raise two questions
I think are really important and I hope you'll answer them
One is, where does that right come from?
Obviously it comes from, essentially you could say it comes from the Bible, I would say that it does.
But it comes also from a long iteration of historical precedence going to the Balfour Declaration of 1917.
It comes from the League of Nations 1927.
It comes from the United Nations 1947, the Declaration of Independence of the Israel State in May of 1948.
They were immediately attacked.
They won the war.
They were attacked again in 1956.
They won the war.
They were attacked again in 1967 by five countries.
They won the war.
They were attacked again in 1973 in the Yankee Bar War.
They won the war.
The point is, does Israel have a right to exist?
They also had wars in 1982 in Lebanon.
They've had the DeFattas, two of those.
They've had the war in 2006.
I was there.
You know, I'm very familiar with the modern history of the state, pretty familiar
I think and it's a man who simply means somebody who believes that Israel has a right to exist.
Now the question is, dude, they're just always getting attacked, man.
Always the victim is just so crazy and Tucker Tucker, think about all those, all that land
that happens to reside right outside of the confines of current Israel waiting to
be called greater Israel Tucker. After all, there is a great appetite for said land Tucker.
Why can't Israel grow Tucker? Why do you not want them to have a living room?
But Israel has a right to exist. I mean, I want Israel to exist. Well, no, but I want
to know what that means. So like, do other countries have a right to exist? Well, they
do exist. Do they have a right to exist? You keep saying Israel has a right to
exist and I want to know what other countries have a legal right because every international
body in the last 100 years has said the Jewish people have a right to their indigenous home.
My question is what other have a biblical right?
I would say that yes, but you may say they don't.
I don't know.
I'm actually okay sincerely interested in finding out what you mean by a biblical
right.
But first to the legal rate.
Does any other country on the planet have the same right that Israel has to exist?
You could say does Jordan have a right to exist when it was trans Jordan and the Brits came and divided up the Middle East and they gave
Some land to Jordanians and they gave some land to the Saudis and they gave some land
To various Middle Eastern countries and it was all carved up and the French gave Lebanon its right to exist
Do they have a right to exist today? Well, why not?
Okay, so that's my so every country US have a right to exist
I'm asking you. Okay, and I'm telling you, I think the US has a right to exist. Okay. We came here
But we came there. We're right in Israel now talking
But does the US have a right to exist? Is anyone questioned whether we have a right to exist?
I don't yeah, but but I of course I'm from America, you know for you
But I so every current country on the map has the same right to exist that Israel has is that what you're saying
I think what we're saying is that when a country has established itself
and it is following international law. It has been deemed by numerous bodies that it
is indigenous to its homeland as Israel is. This is its homeland. It goes back 3800 years
to the time of Abraham. It's not that the Jewish people just showed up here in 1948
and said, we're going to have some land. So those are two different tracks and I just
want to make sure that we separate them so I understand each one separately. So you're
You're saying there's the modern legal framework, and so you said a country that abides by international
law has a right to exist.
I would say that that is a part of its existence.
Would the inverse be true that a country that does not abide by international law forfeits
has a right to exist?
Not necessarily if it has the capacity to stay and make its case known.
But there have been Jewish people in this land, in this very land, for 3,800 years.
So, but you're saying as the modern nation state with borders and a military and a Knesset
and just all the kind of trappings of a modern country, all of which I support, that country
has every country on the planet has the same right as Israel to exist because it does
exist.
Is that what you're saying?
I'm just trying to understand the concept here.
Well, I think what we're trying to get to is Christian Zionism and you've taken
this way off the road here.
I know that I have, I don't know to, Christian Zionism is this type of thing, but I just
keep hearing people say, Zionism is the belief that...
That's the fundamental argument that's going on.
Does Israel have a right to live in their indigenous, ancient, historical land, a land
that has been affirmed throughout international organizations, a land that has direct ties
to the Jewish people?
I just want to know if this is a universal principle.
I guess that's what I'm getting.
He's boring.
Israel doesn't fucking care about international rights at all whether by the fuck
Why the fuck should we act like they care about it only when it benefits the existence of the state of Israel?
No nation has a right to exist as a fucking ethnic enclave built on top of an indigenous population that it's ethnically cleansing
What is this fucking argument dude?
And if the answer to the counter to that as well America
became what it is because of that then you say yeah that was a horrifying evil
thing that the early settlers did does it like the Nazis of the Holocaust does that
mean we can do another Holocaust should we do another Holocaust do you not have
an opinion separated from what other countries did it do do two wrongs make a
right well I mean I guess he would say yeah yeah
Israel has a lot to do a Holocaust after all it was done to the Jews and
And therefore, Israel can do a holocaust, that's why I defend Israel all the time.
It's just like, it's such a stupid bag of Florida like, oh, does this country have a
right to exist?
Does that country have a right to exist?
I just, this isn't boring, everyone is watching him refuse to say any country is
equal to Israel and it's right to exist.
This is pure Normie Gold, making him say, wait, I thought he would say yes.
Why isn't he saying yes?
I don't know, I'm more annoyed by it.
Yeah, because if it's not then it's meaningless to me because as a Christian
I believe in universal principle something is right for everyone or it's wrong for everyone
We don't believe in special kids. Here's that question. If the Jews didn't have this land would the Jews
Have a right to any land. I
Don't know. I'm not attacking the Jews
I'm asking if this applies to every
People in every nation does every nation have the same right to its own homeland to its own physical land
that you say Israel does. I feel like we're in a rabbit hole here. No, I think
it's a very straightforward question. No, but does that right extend to other
countries other than Israel? But the most important thing that is going on in
our culture right now is whether or not the people that are yelling in the
streets from the river to the sea, whether that that's a legitimate point
of view, to say that there should not be a Jewish homeland. There should not
be a Jewish state. You'll never hear me say that. I just want to know. I know you haven't said it, but that's one of the
arguments going on globally. And the United States, excuse me, has a pretty narrow view.
I would say in our media culture what's happening around the world. There are plenty of countries
having this debate. Stonehenge is a lot older than the first temple in Israel. And it was
built by the same people who live there now. It's the same people. And they are being
pushed off their island and outnumbered by people from other places. And so in
Great Britain in Ireland, which is also a country with a nation of people, a race, if
you will, that is being displaced, replaced, who they're being replaced by immigrants.
Okay.
It's cool that that Mike Huckabee is so fucking predisposed with defending Israel that he
like doesn't even understand that Tucker Carlson is doing like right wing fascist
adjut prop.
And it causes Mike Huckabee to come across as woke for a brief moment.
I wouldn't who's who's displacing them Tucker from other places. I just wanted to clarify because I was one of the
Well, just as a demographic matter, it's just like you can look at the numbers. It's not controversial. Let's look at the numbers
There'll be a minority in their country and their people have been there longer than
than
Stonehenge was built by the people that are still living there so funny
Especially when you talk about like England being invaded or displaced
it's one of the fucking dumbest arguments to make because
because England is mostly just famous for being invaded, okay?
Like throughout time, there's very rarely been a moment after they got done being invaded
quite a bit, then they decided to do the invading with its naval fleet.
But like, it's pretty funny for him to talk about England as though it's like an invasion
of England is this totally unique incident that has never happened throughout history.
Every person that you consider to be, you know, proper British is a product of those
centuries of invasion.
Jews have been in Israel, and so they're having this debate too.
That's all I'm saying.
And lots of places are having this debate, so does that principle apply to everyone
Or is it specific just to Israel?
I think it applies specifically to Israel.
It applies to anyone who can prove that they have some connection to the land and connection
to the history and connection to international.
Okay, Palestinian is then like that's fucking insane.
But Israel, I think does have an extraordinary international law.
So if again, no, but let me finish this.
Yes, sir.
Because here's the point.
We're talking about Christians, Zionism, the idea that as a Christian, I believe
both the old and the new testament. Why wouldn't I? This argument fucking annoys the shit out of me,
dude. I'm sorry. I don't give a fuck if every single Jewish person around the planet could directly
trace their lineage back to what is now known as the state of Israel. Okay? I don't care. Why
should anybody care about this? Does that mean to get the fucking wipe out the people that
that are living there, are you fucking stupid?
There is no world in which this kind of argumentation
is applied in 2026.
The very fact that like, you know, Ashkenazi's can't trace,
some Ashkenazi can't trace their fucking lineage
back to Israel or whatever is irrelevant
to the conversation.
It's also obviously not true.
Like there are plenty of people that have, you know,
mixed throughout the land over time,
over thousands of fucking years.
But like, I genuinely think that that argument,
even if it was 100% correct,
is not useful in this conversation at all, okay?
The people that tried to make this conversation
also by making up this like fake mythology
around peoples was literally Nazi Germany.
A person of the book,
there are 80 million evangelical Christians
in the United States.
What makes us who we are is our adherence to the Scripture, our belief that the Bible,
all of it, not part of it, but all of it, is the Word of the Living God.
So if I believe in the Old and the New Testament, I do believe that there is a very specific
call to the Jewish people that started with Abraham.
And he called him out of what is now modern day Iraq, said, come where I send you.
He came.
This is the land.
Genesis 12.3.
He says, I will bless those who bless you, curse those who curse you.
In Genesis 17, he looks out of the world, he says, look, and this is where I'm giving
you the land.
And since that time, there have been people living in this land connected to that moment
of history.
So there is a historical connection that is unbroken.
You've said that, and I want to ask you what that means a little more specifically
if that's okay.
Let me just say that you could say the same thing of Britons who've been there in their land longer
Does anyone they try to tell the Britons like the Brits they can't live there anymore?
No, what's happening is they are saying that to the Jews
Okay, okay, but I just want if you'd extend extend the same sympathy or the same principle
You don't you seem like this is you think I'm trying to trap you. I'm not I'm at all trying to trap you
I'd it'd be as simple as saying
Native Britons have no problem with the native Brits having their land having the right
point is I don't know that there is a biblical connection for the Brits, but I would say that's
what they come down to.
So that's what they come down to.
And I think there's still a basis for the Jews having this little bitty strip of real
estate.
I'm not even arguing with you.
I'm just trying to, at all, I'm just trying to understand what it is that you're saying,
because it's not obvious to me, and maybe it's an IQ problem, but I'm having to
understand it.
But let me just go back to just clarify one thing.
brought up international at least twice maybe three times as a basis for Israel's legitimacy.
If Israel was out of compliance with international law, whatever that is, would it be less legitimate?
It depends on if the law and the way it's applied is legitimate.
There are some applications of so-called international law that are not legitimate.
I agree.
Look at the ICC or the ICCJ.
I agree.
I agree.
Utterly ridiculous.
One of the reasons I'm so grateful, President Trump and Secretary Rubio, are pushing hard
trying to get rid of the icc in the icj is because
they have become rogue organizations that are no longer really about an equal
application of law and jim i don't know enough about it to say if that's true or
not uh...
uh... but i just i'm interested that you yourself in field to international law
as a basis of his israel's well i'm looking at is the whole of the last
one hundred years the balfour declarations not exactly international
law but the way it was obviously not a right thing it was maybe maybe not the
law, but it was a declaration. It was an assumption and a declaration that was done by Lord Balfour
in Great Britain. At that time, this land was under the British mandate. And he said
that you should have the land that was theirs from 3,800 years ago. It was simple as that.
Right. And I'm not debating that. It was not international law. It was a colonial
power saying, okay, here's how we're going to divide up the world after the fall
Nations under the United Nations and then because of the victories that Israel had against those who tried to annihilate them
And it wasn't just that they were trying to take a little piece of their land
They tried to annihilate them okay, and there is still to this day the shouts of from the river to the sea and Tucker
That means only one thing
Not the shrinking of Israel, but the annihilation of Israel
I don't think that's I don't think you can say that you know what it means actually because you don't know
it's in people's hearts. So, why don't we just deal with the facts? Maybe some people
mean it to their mouths, I know it's in their minds. But I'm not, look, you'll never hear
me say that. You will hear me say, as I'm confused by what the definitions are. So,
let's go through this. You've appealed to Genesis. Genesis 15 says it's Abraham,
it's pre-Abraham, it's Abraham, receives from God the news that his descendants will
inherit the land and you tell me as the theologian if I'm getting this wrong,
from the Euphrates to the Nile. I think that's right. And that would include basically the
entire Middle East. That would be the Levant, so that would be Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon.
It would also be big parts of Saudi Arabia and Iraq. I mean, I'm not sure it would go
that far. I mean, it would be a big piece of land. But here's the point. It would
be a lot of places that are now countries that this particular area that we're
We're talking about now, Israel is a land that God gave through Abraham to a people that
he chose.
It was a people, a place, and a purpose.
We can look at it that way.
Christian Zionism, I want to go back because that's where we started on this.
I'm not going to let you off on this because you have gone three times that God gave this
land to this people.
And so it is entirely fair for me with respect to ask, what land are you talking about?
I just read Genesis 15 as I have many times and that land I think it says from the Nile to the
Euphrates, which is once again basically the entire Middle East. So God gave that land to His
people the Jews or He didn't. You're saying He did. What does that mean? Does Israel have the
right to that land? Because you're appealing to Genesis. You're saying that's the original deed.
It would be fine if they took it all, but I don't think that's what we're talking about
here today.
What would be fine?
Well, it's exactly what we're talking about today.
Well, but here's what I don't think you would be fine if the state of Israel took
over all the door.
They don't want to take it over.
They're not asking to take it over.
You're saying that the reason that Israel is legitimate has this inherent right to
exist is because, in part, because God gave it to His people.
And I am going to the same Bible that you're referring to and noticing that
that is a huge piece of land. So if God gave him that land, then they have a right to take
it now by your definition, unless I'm missing something.
I think you're missing something because they're not asking to go back to take all of that.
But they are asking to at least take the land that they now occupy, they now live in,
they now own legitimately, and it is a safe haven for them.
I may ask though, it's because you're appealing, you're explaining what Christian Zionism
and your theological beliefs. And you think you just said it would be fine with you if
the state of Israel took all of those in all of Syria, all of Lebanon?
That's really not exactly what I'm trying to say.
I'm asking, is that what you said? I thought that's what you just said.
It was somewhat of a hyperbolic statement in that, you know, if that's what you feel
like that we're talking about, but it isn't. We're talking about this land that Israel,
the state of Israel now lives in and wants to have peace in, they're not trying to take
over Jordan, they're not trying to take over Syria, they're not trying to take over Iraq
or anywhere else, but they do want to protect their people, and they're not trying to take
over Lebanon.
But you're saying that as a religious man as a Christian, a Christian Zionist, you
agree with a lot of religious communities here in Israel that the justification for
this country is theological. It's a contract between God and His people. And I'm telling
you that that contract includes attractive land that is much larger than the current
nation states.
So you might be a bigger Zionist than even the Jews are that live in Israel.
I'm trying to understand the implications of your theology for geopolitics because
you're saying that the present government of Israel has a moral right to take over
what are now other people's countries.
No, I didn't say that.
Then what are you saying?
simply saying that the people who live in Israel I think have a right to have
security, have safety, they have a right to be able to live in this land that they
have a connection to for 30 years. I told myself when I said it for years,
not to get annoyed, but as someone who is you know the father of daughters when
I see child molesters hiding in Israel and escaping American justice I think I
I have a right to safety in my country too.
So you can understand that I think most people feel they have a right to safety.
I do think Israel has a right to safety and I hope that for them and I'm sincere.
But I'm an American and I have a right to safety in my country too.
Of course you do, right?
And I think so but I just want to get to this point.
If Israel were to say God gave us in Genesis 15 all of Lebanon, all of Syria, all
the way up to a rock. Would that be legitimate in your view?
I don't think in this particular day and time, they're asking for it.
Would it be legitimate?
I'm not sure that it would be.
Why? Because...
What?
What?
Bro, I s- Yeah, no, if they said we want it, Mike very clearly is like, yeah, in the
future if they want it, they can get it.
I mean, you said ADL Husbands Read About Tucker, isn't that interesting?
You just said that, well, God gave it to them.
I think that there is an understanding that the people of Israel today, now if they end
up getting attacked by all these places and they win that war and they take that land and
okay that's a whole other discussion. But you and I started talking about something simple,
Christian Zionism. And it turns out it's not for you because I don't, the core of Christian
Zionism you said and I'm quoting you, is the understanding the belief, the theological
understanding that Jews have a moral and legal, we want you to legal, moral driving
from the biblical promises in our Bible, which we share with the Jewish people, the first
part of the Old Testament, that it derives from God's promise to the Jews.
And so I have two questions.
What are the borders of that?
And who are those people in 2026?
And you're not the first person I've asked, but you're the most reasonable, most gentle,
most theologically informed person.
So I'm really hoping for an answer.
The first question was the borders. I can't get an answer. Yeah, those borders are so I'm gonna give up
But the second question is every bit is pressing which is who are the people?
Who are the modern? Yes, who are who are the descendants?
So we know and I believe and I agree with you as a Christian that God promised
this land
from modern-day Iraq to modern-day Egypt to this people the Jews to Abrams actually not to the to Abrams descendants as
It says in Genesis 15
Who are his descendants now and how do we know who they are?
I think they're the Jews.
I mean, do you guys understand why I think this argument is like kind of stupid though?
Like I'm sure I'm sure for like Christians that are listening in, maybe this like makes
Christians eyes and looks stupid, but like the argument against Israel isn't like whether
or not Jews can trace their genetics back to like this historic land.
You know what I mean?
Like it's not.
Destroying that argument doesn't actually make
Israel's right to existence less valid
right
Stop calling the fairy tale argument stupid I
Mean it is it is stupid even if the fairy tale was real it would still be stupid
right
That's my that's my point like even if this wasn't a fucking fairy tale and it was like valid like I'm talking straight up
Every single Jew can directly trace their lineage all the way back to this location
It would still not be valid what Israel is doing would still be considered invalid
It's fucking ridiculous
I'm not doing the r slash atheism argument here. Do you understand what I'm saying? I'm not saying like oh
Santa Claus promised me
Uh, you know, mongolia or whatever. Okay. I'm not saying that I'm saying even if Santa Claus very much promised me mongolia
It was in the book of Santa Claus
I still don't have a right to go to mongolia and kill all the mongolians be like this is my land now, bitch. Sorry sucks to suck
But that's it's it's just so so so so crazy
You know, yeah jingle bells, bitch
St. Nicholas was Turkish
And he promised me Mongolia 3,000 years ago.
Turk still design Mongolia because of epigenetic memories. Yeah, that's why I brought up Mongolia.
Now who they are because they've always been a Jewish people. There has been an
unbroken line of Jewish people. You're missing the argument. You're not understanding the
target audience. I'm just saying it's fucking it's extremely relevant to any Christians who
You can be convinced that those people are Palestinians and makes them feel motivated to protect them.
Sure. I mean, to each their own, I guess, everybody has a different way, different role to fulfill in this conversation.
It's just like, I think if you're a Christian, you should not want people to be slaughtered, okay?
It shouldn't be like, oh, well, those are the original Christians that Israel is now slaughtering.
Only then am I primed and motivated to stop this slaughter.
for 3,800 years. Sometimes not very many of them because they were chased out all over the world.
They were hunted down. They were almost annihilated during the Holocaust. They came back to this day,
Tucker. They represent, you know, how many Jews there are in the whole world?
Please, I understand. First of all, the greatest genocide of Jews no one ever mentions was by
the Romans where they were literally banned from Jerusalem for 500 years. Yeah, of course.
And, and it's all awful. And I'm opposed to all of that. I'm opposed to mass killing of anybody. Period. I'm opposed to hearing say that.
I mean it. Yeah, I'm hoping I believe that. I believe that.
My question is, and it's not a bumper sticker answer, it's a sincere answer. How do we know? Because what you're
saying is that certain people have a title through a highly contested region. They own it in some deep sense.
So, I think it's fair to ask, who are they and how do we know?
So the current prime ministers, ancestors, weren't from here within recorded history.
He has no deed.
Bibi Netanyahu on one side is families from Poland, they're from Eastern Europe.
So how do we know that he has a connection to the people who God promised the land to,
Abrams descendants?
How do we know that?
Well, if you take the genealogies that come not only from the old but the New
New Testament, you see that there is a historical connection through the entirety of the Old
and the New Testament that details the Jewish connection to this land.
Does that include these two?
Does that include his family?
How do we know that if his family comes here?
But how do we know it's the same people?
No, why is that crazy?
If you say to me, if they speak the same language, if they worship the same God,
if they follow the same Bible, if they follow the same cultures and traditions, and they
They always pray next year in Jerusalem, and they pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and
they pray facing toward Jerusalem.
Does that not give you a little bit of a clue as to who they are?
Let's go through those things, because I would like to have a rational kind of, this
is a conversation I've wanted.
Bless you.
Thank you for doing this.
Let's just go through those things.
So one of the things I admire most about Israel is they resurrected a dead language
in 1948.
Good for that.
But they really didn't resurrect it.
It was existent.
Okay.
That's not it.
compliment I'm not slightly no but it is the first time in all of human history that a language
has survived through this length of time it's it's it's I would call it you might not but I would
call it a miracle one of many okay then you can connect me out I think bro bruh
I don't want to say something that was going to come across as anti-semitic
So I'm just going to say it in the nicest ways possible.
Mike Huckabee is a Philo-Semite, okay?
That's all I'm going to say.
Like I don't, I laugh when people talk about like Goi cattle or whatever the fuck, you
know, 4chan neo-nazis say.
But Mike Huckabee is definitely a person who is more invested in Israel for
philosemitic reasons than anyone else I have ever encountered in my life.
OK.
It is crazy and I guess this is like evangelical Zionism is this it's just wild to to see it
go through its motions in real time as the fucking cogs are turning like this man does
not need APEC money. Okay? Sure, the APEC money is great. Absolutely. But this man with
or without APEC money is a fetein for the state of Israel. Okay? It really makes me
understand better when I hear stuff coming from certain government officials and I'm
like, what are you saying? Like, what do you actually care more about Israel than you do about
your own country? For example, like, I think Mike Huckabee, and I guess it's not anti-Semitic to
say this because he isn't Jewish, Mike Huckabee cares 100 times more about Israel than he does
about American citizens, his own, uh, maybe even members of his own family, okay?
I think if there was a situation where, uh, Benjamin and I was like, you have to kill Sarah
Huckabee Sanders, like you have to shoot her with this, uh, the cattle prod machine that
we have.
Mike Huckabee, we were like, oh yes, sir, yes, master, I would love to do that for
you.
Does this advance Israel's interests and iota?
Because if that's the case, I would do it gladly.
I killed myself after. It's fucking crazy.
Mike Huckabee cares about Israel more than 99% of American Jews do,
with the exception of like, I don't know, fucking Miriam Adelson or something,
okay? And even then they're going toe to toe. Like Miriam Adelson is telling Mike Huckabee like,
Bro dial it back like fucking Jesus Christ dude. What are you saying?
It is fucking crazy
Why don't you go as hard as Nick does on this because I'm not an agent of the American State Department like
Nicolas Fuentes is okay. Mr.
Jeffrey Epstein is actually based the only problem Jeffrey Epstein is that he's Jewish
I have plenty more issues with the American State Department because I have a more complex view of the situation
What kind of fucking dumb question is that oh, what did you like shit on Jews, bro?
I don't know maybe because I'm anti genocide and anti fascist not anti Jew
Yeah, what if what are you go as hard against Israel as the neo-nazi does who sells Jeffrey Epstein quarter zip merchandise?
Who very clearly cares more about being edgy and based and like?
I don't know making any sort of meaningful commentary about the state of Israel
Fucking idiot
This is one of the most annoying parts about like like aside from the overall
environment of unsafety for for random Jewish people and shit like this is
this has been a real nuisance a real thorn in my fucking corner of dumb fucks
thinking that like the maximalist position on Israel is to be an anti-
semi you're a fucking loser you're an idiot Israel loves anti-semites
you're serving the purposes of Israel. Fucking cattle. That's what you are. You're like, oh yeah,
all the edgy stuff that I learned on 4chan, which may or may not have been a fucking Jeffrey Epstein
backed Psyop, the brain break, a bunch of young groipers, and take all the dissatisfaction
into a much more manageable position and not in the actual anti-Zionist one.
all you give a fuck about is being like yeah well why don't we just like get the
juice get rid of the juice bro and say Hitler's bays bro Nick does not hate
Israel Nick loves Israel he's just jealous of Israel he wants to do Israel
in America but for what he considers to be true legacy Americans now whether
or not Nicolas Fuentes as a homosexual Mexican man fits the part of that
group, I do not know. He seems to think so. Some other, you know, more Aryan versions
of Nicolás Fuentes might disagree with him. He gets real bent out of shape when you bring
that up.
It gets wonderful as someone who loves language. Nenio's parents did not speak Hebrew. Okay.
They didn't live in this region.
Netanyahu, the founders of this country
were mostly secular.
Some of them were avowed atheists.
They were not praying for the peace of Jerusalem.
They weren't praying at all,
because they didn't believe in God.
There's no genealogy linking their families
to the people of this land 3,000 years ago.
They're none.
So how do we know, since they didn't share language,
they didn't share a religion.
They had no religion whatsoever.
How do we know that they had a right to come here from Eastern Europe and but they were
scattered land they were scattered to understand that they were scattered all over the world
there were many in Ethiopia they were in Russia they were in and look they're literally counting
down the days until lights are a minority in America so forgive me if I don't believe
them then when they talk about compassion there's a genocide going on right now it's
It's not against the Jews.
How many Christians are there?
Gaza?
It's against whites.
How many Christians are there in the world?
Let me...
One point some billion.
Two billion, I don't know.
How many Jews are there?
Fifteen million.
Okay.
So, with a straight face, you're going to tell me the world is being overrun by the
Jewry, by 15 million people, when there are over a billion Christians.
There is a genocide of Christians like poor old Nick Fuentes going on at the hands
of these 15 million Jews.
really see this attitude. Why would you lie and say he's a homosexual?
Just because he's in the closet doesn't mean he's not throwing it back. Okay.
pull up the cowboy pigs.
It is why you're losing.
When you say-
Who am I losing to?
White people.
Who am I losing to?
White people.
Who am I losing to?
You're seeing it mass migration, Matt.
Oh, you're losing to me.
We are losing as a civilization of mass migration.
And here's the difference.
In Israel, they have my politics.
In Israel, they want to maintain a Jewish majority.
if they had it their way it would only be jewish people they're fighting like
hell so that jewish people can have as much territory a jewish state they can
be proudly jewish in their own land whereas in america we are being besieged
by ten there it is
i mean is this is the most honest assessment
million illegal immigrants in four years he is correct israel does have
nick went to the politics
Jewish supremacist politics, extermination is politics.
Nick Fuentes on the other hand has a different hierarchy.
He has a different in-group, out-group dynamic.
That's it.
Whites and Christians are gonna be the minority.
And that's true in Canada, Australia,
all the countries in Europe.
So you could say there's two billion people,
but what's the proportionality?
What is the percentage of people being born
that are white?
Where's the-
Okay, the rest of it is just like white,
genocide, nonsense.
Poland, they were throughout Asia. Jews were all over the place, but they were still Jews.
But they were still Jews.
Let me get to the nub of the question. Since, again, a lot is at stake, a lot of money is
at stake. Land is very valuable. Israel has a lot of resources. By the way, if you're
accused of a crime, you can hide here. That's a pretty good passport to have. It's
a good thing, right? So who's entitled to it? I don't understand, and you're
very discouraged in the United States from asking this question for some reason. It's
a totally rational question.
No, I'm not discouraged.
You're not discouraged.
Yeah.
Others do. You're like the only person I can have this conversation with. Everyone's
going, Shut up, Nazi. It's a foundational question. Are you speaking of an ethnic
group or a religious group?
Well, I think you're looking at, for many people, it is religious. There are people
who may not have a deep religious connection to Judaism, but they're still Jews.
Okay.
So it's an ethnic category.
It is ethnic, but it is also religious.
It is rooted in religion.
You can't take it out of it.
Now that means there are some people...
And then how can an atheist...
Well, I will tell you this.
There are some people who say, I'm Christian.
They never go to church.
They never pray.
They never read their Bible.
They don't tithe.
But they're not entitled to citizenship on the basis of that.
Well, but I'm saying...
They're not entitled to...
They still call themselves Christian, even though they identify in that way.
Okay, but wait.
Here's the difference.
You're saying that people...
If you want to fucking cook Tucker Carlson...
He could be like, don't you love it? When what Christian nations want to come to the United States of America? What Christian nationals?
Why can't the Jews have that Tucker? You know, because that's it. That's where you get Tucker Carlson.
You can just do the same thing to Nick Fuentes as well. If someone is obsessed with demographic replacement or whatever psychotic nonsense they have,
because this is what all nationalists believe at the end of the day, you could just easily
turn this around and be like, well, why can't Jews have this thing?
Why isn't it wonderful if America was more tolerant to white Christians coming from all
around the world?
Wouldn't you want to combat against this demographic replacement that you talk about
by allowing more white Christians?
People who have this identification
have a deed to a huge chunk of land on the Mediterranean.
So there's, it's a right.
You keep telling me it's a right.
So it's totally fair to say,
if you come to my house and say,
I've got the title of your house,
I get to ask, may I see it?
Where'd you get it?
And that's exactly what happened here.
people from Europe, Eastern Europe came here, in a lot of cases, atheists, and kicked out
a lot of people who lived here.
They bought land.
Well, but they did not just throw people out.
They bought a lot of land.
There's no question about that.
They did buy a lot of land.
But they also, in 1948, kicked out a lot of people in the war.
It was a war.
I agree.
I'm not...
I'm not...
I'm not...
I'm not...
I'm not...
I'm not...
I'm not...
I'm not...
I'm not...
they've never been allowed back. And all of this was justified on the basis of this identity
that forms, that is the ticket to the right that you keep referring to. So my question is very
simple. I'm going to wait patiently for an answer. Does this right derive from religious affiliation
or from genetics? And I would say it's both. But I would also say that when you said the
Christians were kicked out, Tucker, Christianity is growing in Israel. And there is a big lie
I think it goes out there, but let me finish this because I keep hearing that Christians
are really not treated well in Israel.
That's a lie.
There are lots of different...
There were 34,000 Christians in Israel in 1948.
There are 184,000 Christians here today.
And by Israel, what are you counting?
You've talked about the land?
What territory are you counting?
You're counting about Israel proper or are you counting about Israel proper?
Bank as well and Gaza I mean what what do you when you say Israel those numbers apply to what landmass it would be in Israel proper
Okay, they're
184,000 now I'll tell you where Christians are not doing very well. They're not doing very well in the Muslim control countries
There's almost no Christians in Qatar for example except those who live in the Christian ghetto who are the service workers
I'm sorry. I don't want to argue with you there
There are many more Christians in Qatar than there are in Israel.
That's not true.
It actually is true.
And I refer you to Wikipedia, Mr. Ambassador.
Wikipedia.
It literally is true.
It is true.
There's just not...
No, it is true.
There's just not...
They're residents.
They're not nationals.
Which still, as residents, they get better treatment in Qatar than obviously the Palestinians do.
So yeah, the I refer you to the government of Qatar the government of Israel
These are noble facts like I'm and I'm in Jordan by the way numbers are down in Syria the numbers are down and let us say
I'm sure down there are you that the about twice as many Christians that they live and on clay. They're not native Qataris
Okay, we're we're mixing so many different categories here. I'm just saying I get things wrong all the time
You've just gotten something wrong, and I think it's important to acknowledge it
There are many more Christians in Qatar than there are in Israel fact how many?
Now you caught me. I don't know I can look at my phone, but I'm just there and
The son's out of Cuban journals is living in Havana right now
She's right the country's commie Camila Cabello's post in terms of blaming the regimes that are US sanctions get rid of the sanctions is the best way
To prove your theory
Some previously interviewed a Cuban doctor who works in Cuba
He explains devastating impact to US sanctions on their healthcare industry
The first challenge of the blockade that was imposed by the government of the US for more than 60 years
Dan, why beard was fucking thick back then?
Holy shit.
So she's a government propagandist, of course she will defend their dear leaders.
What the fuck?
I do think that I do think that a lot of this conversation is just like all over the place and it's so silly
This on Israel is not real. It's not a real state. It's not their land. It's just these living on stolen land
Every Muslim country should not every Muslim country every every country should denounce Israel
Every, every people with a conscious should denounce fascism of every sort, okay?
It's that simple for me at least.
Whether it be American fascism, what we're doing in fucking Cuba, or whether it be the fascism in Israel.
Your discord doesn't welcome vegans, they called me out and then they banned me for defending my views.
reviews. Here you go. They're spinning, whatever, but I just want to get to the point that forms
the basis of this whole conversation, which is who has a right to the land. And you said
it's a mixture of religion and ethnicity because as I noted and you agree
It's very obvious that chatter got banned from bizcore for being fucking annoying like right now
You know like clearly
Many of the founders maybe the majority of the founders of modern Israel did not believe in God at all
So they were not religious Jews. They weren't religious at all. They were atheists. So they were atheists, I believe them
So that suggests it's ethnic
But it's also true as you well know, because there's a famous court case about this, that
ethnic Jews who convert to Christianity do not have the right of return.
That was settled by the Israeli Supreme Court.
I'm very confused.
So that would suggest it's not ethnicity, because you invalidate your Jewishness by
converting to Christianity.
There are a number of Messianic Jews who live in Israel who are here.
I'm aware of that.
He's like, I'm one of them, Tucker.
He's like, I should know.
I'm practically one of them.
Now, I haven't fully converted.
I am a little scared of the SNP SNP process, you know?
I don't got too much meat down there to begin with.
I don't want to shave off an inch.
But you're not contesting what I'm saying
because it's a very famous court case.
The right of return has to do with your mother,
your grandmother.
It has to do with family.
Yeah, or it has to do with how white you are, Tucker,
from a place called the USSR.
Bet you love that one, don't you?
That's right.
It's mostly just for Jews,
but then also sometimes for the Slavs as well,
that were coming from the USSR,
with no ties to the religion whatsoever, but we let that slide. Sometimes I say we, because
I mean, I meant they, not we, Tucker. I'm sorry for saying we on accident.
There's a lot of, sure, ethnicity is a big part of the right of return. Great to make
to make alaihi, then to come to Israel, then live here.
Then if both of your parents are Jewish,
then you have an ethnic right to live.
You are one of Abrams' descendants,
but you convert to Christianity.
How is it that you don't have the right to return?
I'm totally confused.
But I know a number of people who have returned
as Christians, but have Jewish history.
Are you saying that Jews who convert to Christianity
have a right, a legal right to return?
Because I know that they do, whether, when you say, do they have a right to return?
Do they prove?
It's a legal category as an end of government, which is by their family history, their grandmother,
their mother, and there are many aspects of that.
I've read it, I think, but I know that these are people who are Christian, and they came
here, made aliyah.
They had Jewish blood, Jewish history, they were Christian, messianic, but they
came here and they were welcomed here and they were given full legal rights
absolutely in a passport so clearly that's not it's not true that you
invalidate you were right of return by converting to Christianity that's just
false I'm not aware of that I know that there are a number of Christians here I
go to church with Christians every week here of course and there's a right to
come and say I'm an ethnic Jew even though I practice Christianity
Therefore I have every bit as much right to move into a settlement in the West
The answer is no yeah as far as I understand you also even if you're if you've converted to Judaism
You can't even be like I don't even think you can be reform right someone in the chat might correct me
Right, isn't it like a specific type of Judaism if you're if you're a convert
If you are a convert if you went from Christian to Judaism
then you have to be orthodox now or am I crazy I thought it was only orthodox but I don't know
If you want to be a
If you want to if you want to get citizenship
Citizenship 2021 is really Supreme Court ruling individuals
who have undergone reform and conservative conversion. Is there a recognizes use of the
purpose of the law return? Oh, okay. So 2021. Yes, you have to be orthodox, but it says
Because here, the insulin dependence says 2021 is really Supreme Court ruling allows individuals
with undergone reform and conservative conversions in Israel are recognized as Jews for the purpose
of the law of return.
I thought it was, I thought, I guess before 2021 you had to be, maybe before 2021 you
had to be orthodox but now you don't have to be.
Bank or into East Jerusalem or anywhere I want, Galilee anywhere because I'm
returning to the land of my forefathers. I'm a legal right in the state of Israel
even though I've converted to Christianity. You're saying that's true? I'm
saying I know people have done it. Now can I tell you what the law
specifically. I'm not sure. Well, it's really significant. I'm not, I don't have any Jewish roots.
So therefore, I cannot quote you the law. If you want me to do that, I'll look at it. Well,
it really matters because you're saying, in fact, people in the United States are being called
anti-Semites. A lot of them, including me, because they somehow don't believe that Israel has a
right to this land. Do you think Israel has a right to this land? No, you haven't defined
what the land is and you haven't defined to Israel so I really don't know it is the land they're living in now the
Borders that they have the borders are moving the board. Yeah, the borders moved literally this year. So
Fuck you mean the borders bitch Israel took over 50% of the Gaza Strip now. Does that mean?
That's a part of Israel now. Like are we are we?
Recognizing this annexation is it legal now?
You can't Israel's the one country that you really can't be like oh well the borders that it has now because it might change next year
Never in the appropriate direction unfortunately
They've moved in the last year
What do you mean the borders have moved it? Well, they are the 1967 borders
I'm including you know the the west Jerusalem and just a roof in Samaria
What are the borders of Judea in Samaria?
Well, you basically take the Jordan River and it's west of the Jordan River to the Mediterranean
Sea to the Lebanon border.
And Israel did have control of the Sinai.
They gave that to Egypt.
They had control of it.
Right.
No, no.
They gave it away in 1979 in the peace agreement.
But okay.
So whatever you call it, the land that was taken from Jordan in 1967, you call
Judea and Samaria, there's a significance to that that I don't fully understand against it.
It's the biblical terms. 80% of the Bible happened in Judea and Samaria.
But we've also established that the Bible gives Jews the right to occupy the land from the Nile to
the Euphrates. So I'm very confused by why we've shrunk the land and why we're...
Israel has shrunk the land. They have made that decision. That's why they gave away...
Now's the point for them to weigh a lot of things.
Abrams descendants are the ones who have the right to have this land, correct?
Yes. Okay. Why don't we do genetic tests? Bro, what is this commerce? Oh my god.
I know there's people in here being like, this is cooking for the religious right-wing Christians.
You know what would cook? I think just a five-minute compilation of
of people defending Israel on television. Okay. I'm not even kidding when I say this,
like, just do a fucking Rabbi Shmueli's greatest hits compilation. I swear to God, there's nothing,
there's no better conversion technique of taking someone from like the most pro-Israel
person of all time to the most like pro-Hamas person of all time than a five minute Rabbi
Shmueli greatest hits compilation. Okay. They will come out of that being like, how can I
How can I evade the State Department to offer munitions to the Palestinian resistance personally? I will go to prison.
I just, I think this is like, this is so much.
I want a Bible verse rap battle.
Bro, is this or anti-Semitism to get the right-wingers on board?
Tragically, there's all hitting for these ghouls, not because the other argument won't
work, because the right-wingers won't make them.
Sting on everybody in the land and find out who Abram's descendants are.
It's really simple.
crack the human genome, we can do that. Why don't we do that? Would you be against doing
that?
I have no idea what that would prove. I mean, maybe it would be.
What do you mean? It would prove who Abrams descendants are and who has a right to live
here and who doesn't, according to the theology that you yourself just explained.
And so I'm very confused as to why we don't do that. If you believe the theology that
you've just explained to me, would we do that all over the world?
Everybody is the only country in the world that you've said has
This covenant with God that this people have a moral and legal right to the land
What about people who convert to Judaism? Would they have a right? Well, you've just
You've just said we there are hot to Judaism. So you just told me they can make aliyah
They may not have you just me that it doesn't matter. You told me moments ago
I'm trying to keep track. Okay, and it doesn't matter whether or not you believe in God or whether or not you practice Torah
Judaism or rabbinic Judaism, which is something else that I don't even know if we should I don't even know what that means
But it doesn't matter whether you're quoting a religious Jew or not
What matters is that you are part of the Jewish people
To whom God gave this land that extends from the Nile to the Euphrates
And so if you believe that wouldn't you want to know with a burning passion who those people are and because of science
We can now know who those people are
So why aren't we finding out?
I guess you could propose a DNA test for everybody who comes here everybody who lives here
But the way I'm comfortable with secular nation states where it's none of this is done on the basis of blood
I'm uncomfortable that I'll just say that but there are people who may not have bloodlines
but who have converted to Judaism. Are they going to be able to live here? Are you going to kick them out?
By your standards? They can't live here. No, no, no, no. Because you've just said that they have a right
to live here because God gave them the land because they're the descendants of Abraham.
They're descendants of Abraham. But if they're the spiritual descendants of Abraham and they've
now decided that they're converting to Judaism, then do they have a right to live in Israel?
Well, there's a whole legal literature in Israel on that question and my understanding is that certain types of modern Judaism qualify a person and other types don't.
Is that your understanding?
Oh, yeah, they're getting...
I don't believe that people converted and I could have this wrong, but I know people who've faced this person, people.
I don't believe people who've converted in a reform synagogue have the...
He's talking about Tony double sir my goat Tony two tone Tony double snip not orthodox not allowed
They got to fix that up
The right of return I don't think that is because I know people who've married into Jewish families and they find out
They don't have the right of return. He's talking about fucking Quentin Tarantino
So that is perplexing to me
I know my experience is a little different than yours.
I know people who have definite Jewish connections, family relations, but now they're Christian.
Some are not necessarily practicing Jews.
They're more secular Jews, as you've discussed, but they come back here.
I'm not against that.
I'm just wondering, since you began this conversation by asking me, did I think they
had a right to come here?
My question was on what basis do they have the right?
And you said, because God granted it to them.
And I also said, because there should be a land where Jews could live in peace and
safety asbestos.
And I asked you what a Jew was and you couldn't answer it.
You said, it partly is religious but it doesn't have to be.
It's partly genetic, but it doesn't have to be.
And so that you can see why I'm...
I think that was very clear, that being Jewish is an identification either through
blood or through faith that you're Jewish.
It may be that you're a blood Jew, but you don't necessarily practice Judaism, just like
there are people who say they're Christian, but they don't do a thing to demonstrate what
Christianity is.
There are a lot of bad Christians, including me some of the time, a lot of the time.
But I don't have a right to real estate on the basis of my claim of Christianity.
You don't have a right to real estate if you're talking about a specific parcel.
But if you're talking about a land, I think what we're talking about is that's
all I'm saying.
like and it was the war of Emirates to the family of nations of the world that there would
be a Jewish home. Why did you ask this to Bernie? That's what that's what some chattars
want me to do to have this conversation with Bernie says as though he would agree with
any of this shit.
bro's going to everybody but you see oh gap big gap on Midas touch yeah he'll go he'll
go to any outlet but this one he'll go to any outlet but face a constituent okay and
not just any constituent like I pay a lot of fucking taxes is goddamn state.
It's so fucking boring. Just this part of the talk I do like when the hogs fight each
each other, but this part, what is a Jew question is so stupid. Yeah. Same question.
Adolf Hitler also asked, and two guys that are descendants of his ideology with minor
differences are having this conversation, the age old question. Well, once again,
what is a Jew? Oh man. I mean, this is the biggest appeal to Genesis. Genesis. This
This is the biggest takeaway. I was like not fully paying attention when he said this, but says it's Abrams pre-Abraham
It's Abrams
Receives from God the news that his descendants will inherit the land and you tell me as them as the theologian if I'm getting this wrong
but from the Euphrates to the Nile I think I think that's right and
That would include like basically the entire Middle East that would be the Levant so that would be Israel Jordan
Syria Lebanon would also be big parts of Saudi Arabia and Iraq it would be I mean
not sure we'd go that far I mean it would be a big piece of land but here's the
point would be a lot of places that are now countries that this particular
area that we're talking about now Israel is is a land that God gave
through Abraham to a people that he chose it was a people a place and a
purpose. We can look at it that way. Christian
Zionism, I want to go back because that's where we started. I'm not going to let you
off on this because you have said it three times that God gave this land to
this people and so it is entirely fair for me with respect to ask what land are
you talking about because I just read Genesis 15 as I have many times and
that land I think it says from the Nile to the Euphrates which is once
again, basically the entire Middle East. So God gave that land to his people to Jews or he didn't.
You're saying he did. What does that mean? Does Israel have the right to that land? Because
you're appealing to Genesis. You're saying that's the original deed. It would be fine if they took
at all. Yeah, Mike Huckabee cares more about the greater Israel project than he does about
Americans. He cares more about Israel than the majority of American Jews do. Like, this
isn't to say that there aren't a lot of Zionist Jews. Okay, that's not what I'm saying at
at all. But to this degree, like to this degree, this is like a very unique, this is a very
unique obsession. Okay.
Where is your data for that statement? For the second statement that he cares more
about Israel than like the majority of American Jews do. There are very few people on the
planet that care about Israel this much that are outside of Israel, I mean, like this isn't
to say that there aren't American Jews who care about Israel this much. There are Cajanes,
you know, there's Mary Maddow saying people like that, but like they're going toe to
tall with this guy. I mean, also, here's my proof. American Jews live in America. If they
cared about, if they cared about the greater biblical Israel as much as Mike Huckabee did,
They would live in Israel like they're not living in America because they're like, oh,
I'm going to do, uh, you know, inside outside techniques of like infiltrating America to
use America like a flesh bubble.
But no, they live in America.
Is there like, yeah, what the fuck would I live in Israel?
You can still be a Zionist and not want to live there.
Jeffrey Epstein was a great example of this, right?
Jeffrey Epstein straight up was like, yeah, Israel fucking sucks.
I'm not going to lie to you, big dog.
shit is kind of ass, but also I will still work for the nation state of Israel.
Like human beings are not monolithic. I don't know how else to describe this. It's just like a
fundamental thing that I believe. Okay. And it's just the truth. And yet people oftentimes when it
comes to like identities outside of their own have no capacity to understand it as such.
Okay, they think like oh well, you know, maybe there's some secret of purpose here
No, I
Know plenty of of Zionist Jews
They live in the United States of America that would never ever in a million years living Israel. They visited Israel
Their family in Israel, they would never live in Israel because they love America. They like America. They like living here
So for many of them I
I think they're, you know, they're fake fans. If we're being real, that's what I think. I think they're a little bit, they're a little bit phony with their, with their support, where it's just like a thing, a rallying cry, a way to organize, a way to have a sense of community.
Okay, that's it and they just can't shake it some of them are obviously more
aggressive with their support but plenty of self-described Zionists don't actually
care that much they've just been trained into thinking that like this is important
for them and this is like you know this is their organizational principle this
This is what they organize around. You can just say Adam Friedland, we all know. Yeah, Adam Friedland.
Oh, that's funny. Yes, that's who I was referencing.
You made this a million, you made this comparison a million times. The main difference between
Huckabee and Isis is that he's a rich white Christian, call it what it is, supremacist, fundamentalist, violent, religious extremism, justifying conquistor, lawless, terrorism, and provincial warriors, middle-east, entire civilian population.
Yep. He's white Isis.
My fan member who said between living in New York City as a Jew and living in Tel Aviv
with bombs flying overhead, they'd rather live in Tel Aviv with bombs flying overhead,
yet their ass is still in America three years later.
Yeah, exactly, exactly, exactly.
Very common, very common attitude where I know this from my friends who are anti-Zionist
Jews, who have this conversation with their relatives, where they'll be like, you know
what the toughest place to live in the world as a Jew is right now, the Upper West Side.
And it's like, that's not true.
And you know that's not true.
Okay?
Please stop with this nonsense.
You know that's not true.
Like, you didn't even choose like a somewhat anti-semitic area.
You just chose the least anti-semitic area.
Like, you just, you're so insane.
But also, if that was the case, you would be in fucking Israel, but you're not.
You're not.
Because you like living here.
You're an American citizen.
just offers a little bit of spice into your life. God, the hysterics, man, the fucking,
the hysterics, dude, it was so close October 7, like that first couple of months was so
it was extra insane. Remember when the doxing trucks came out on every college campus, I
could not believe it. I was like, I can't is our other people not seeing what I'm seeing
right now like how are we just will you hide me remember remember the fucking
will you hide me campaign Amy Schumer losing her dang mind I mean more so than
usual
yeah it's easy to make the Israelite's analysis is both fantasized by establishing
at the religious supremacist states that stressor costs the region.
Well, while ISIS is a fringe minority, scorned by everyone, Israel is the institutional backing
of the world's most powerful states.
I also agree with that take as well.
I'm glad that the Israel ISIS comparisons are coming out.
I

Putting it on the front page of the two the two ladies that like ripped one of the hostage posters and they were like not we don't
Give a fuck
Bees mode. Oh
Yeah, yeah, that was like a big conversation that people were having at the time
It's like this. This the most anti-semitic incident of all time
I don't know. Maybe the existence of Israel is the most anti-Semitic incident of all time.
Yeah, would you hide me? And let's let's get to that point because I think you've taken us on several.
Okay, there's definitely one more anti-Semitic incident than the existence of Israel. Second,
let's say is the second most anti-Semitic incident ongoing. Okay, there is one that was more
anti-Semitic ideals here, and I'm not sure we can follow them all. But is there a reason
that the Jewish people that represent, and I want to get back to this because you didn't
let me finish while I go, they represent 0.2% of the world's population. In the entirety
of the world, there are about 16 million Jews total, and 8 million of them live here.
The rest live mostly in New York or South Florida and in a few other places. So this
This is a small population of people killing a Christian Benjamin and Yahoo where the 9-11
files.
Historically, biblically, do they?
Yes, they do.
If Beebe's family, we know they lived in Eastern Europe.
There's no evidence they ever lived here.
He's not religious.
But in what sense do you have his family tree know?
We don't.
Do you?
He doesn't.
So no one does.
That's the point.
So how do we know that if they are a Jew, and if there has been a practice of Judaism
and a connection to the language, the land. His ancestors didn't, he doesn't
practice Judaism in any rigorous way. His ancestors didn't live here, they
didn't speak the language and there's no evidence they ever lived here. So on
what basis does he have a right to be here? Yeah, BB's not even orthodox, he's
conservative, right? Wasn't Benjamin Anyahu from Philadelphia, by the way. His
family is not even orthodox. I don't know if he larps now, but, you know, language.
Well, he has fought for the land. His family has fought for the dodging. No,
I'm not a question, which is, where does this right come from? And the reason it's
meaningful that answer, because there are a lot of people in the territory that
Israel controls today, particularly in the West Bank, who through genetic
testing, we can know their families have been here for thousands of years. We don't know
whether they practiced Judaism, whether they were Samaritans, pre-Islam. We don't know
that. A lot of them we know have been Christians for 2,000 years. They... Maybe he's not authorized
to the secular Jews, he's a conservative. Have less of a right to the land than
someone whose ancestors... The only thing we know about them is they lived in Latvia
or Poland, they're Eastern European. How does that work?
They're Jewish. By what definition?
They're Jewish by their...
But how do we know they have any connection to the Jews of faith?
They're Jewish by the connection to the language,
Jewish by the connection to the Torah.
But how do we know that BBs, specifically BBs, ancestors ever lived here?
How do we know that?
I'm not sure if I understand your question.
How do we know
if the prime minister of israel's ancestors ever lived
maybe i could ask you how do we know they didn't
i mean there was on the basis of the claim that they did that
all kinds of things happen people are displaced there's a
money flow i mean this it's a big question a lot things on that is not
some theoretical thing like cool
you know do my grandparents do this to do that is like no we were right to
be here because my ancestors are here okay how do we know they were here
I'm totally unable to process what you're trying to get at.
It goes back, do Jewish people have any land on this planet that should be theirs to give
them?
I feel that way about all peoples.
I feel that way about Jewish peoples.
I feel that way about...
Okay, then you don't mind them having this little...
Is there any country...
Let me ask you this bluntly.
Is there any country that European peoples have a right to exclusively?
I think they have attained their land through conquest.
I mean, let's ask ourselves.
Did the Britons attain their land through conquest?
No, they've always been there.
The Romans, the Greeks, we've had them.
Let's speak.
No, let's speak.
Well, you could certainly say that here, the Romans controlled this, as you know,
and they expelled all Jews.
They don't need more Jerusalem.
Amen.
I want them to control it.
I'm anti-Roman.
OK, we're on the same page.
OK.
But my question is very simple.
The folk are these there?
Any European peoples that possesses the same right to their land that the Jews
including people whose ancestors lived in Eastern Europe,
possess here.
The Britons, we know, the British people,
the Scandinavian people, the Irish people,
their ancestors have been there for thousands of years.
That's provable.
Here's genetic testing.
Do they have a right to their...
Bro, they're having a fash-off, dude.
Who gives a...
I'm gonna lose my...
Okay, I'm sorry, this conversation sucked dick, okay?
You cannot convince me
This is like a really good combo. Like there's some good parts in here.
There's some good parts in here when he just like cooks Mike Huckabee.
Apparently there's a part of the combo where Mike Huckabee literally says the idea was the most
moral military on the planet, more moral than the American military. That one's gonna really
fry a bunch of motherfuckers. Okay. Do you have that one?
one. I can't, I can't watch the rest of this. Cuck or Tarzan just wants to get to the point
by just agreeing. Does anyone have the other clip where he literally, Mike Huckabee straight
up says that the IDF is a more moral military than the American military. Like, listen,
I am not a fan of the American military, okay?
I believe that the American military has done war crimes in every, in every invasion that it is engaged in.
And I believe that the American government has done war crimes in amount to genocide, specifically in Korea, okay?
But as far as like modern American military conquest goes, evil by every metric, but there
is one, one military out there that we know of the in the Western world is Western adjacent
that like is funded by the American government and gets all the protection on the planet
that is definitely more evil.
conquests again? Wait, what? Normalized conquesting again? Oh, you're saying normalized conquesting
again. Yeah, and that is the Israeli military. Like, let's be real, the Israeli occupied,
the Israeli occupied forces did a genocide. They are truly, truly one of the most evil
militaries in a long list of evil militaries. This entire conversation is worth the line
where Huxter says it's fine if Israel takes over the entire Middle East. That line alone
has got to your value in boosting anti-zionism globally. You were texting when he said it
first, but that's just going to go viral as fuck. I know I also quote retweeted it
as well. Israel goes to links that no other country, including ours goes to in the
middle of an urban war, and yet Israel ended up with fewer civilian deaths in an urban
war than any urban war of record.
You said you didn't know how many civilian deaths there were, so how can you say that?
If you took Gaza's numbers, Hamas' numbers, you would still be.
But you said you know what the numbers are.
We don't.
Just told me that.
But how can you say it's a lower number?
But if you took the numbers that they reported, which is like 50,000, 24,000, 25,000 of
those were actual warriors, how many civilians?
If you take the numbers range from 128 to 78, those ones I just read, I don't know if
that's real.
I don't know either.
I'm asking you.
Yeah, and I'm telling you, those numbers I've not heard, have not read.
The numbers that I think are more reportable are somewhere in the 60,000 range.
Where are those numbers from?
From the Gaza Health Ministry.
We see those numbers.
They're not solid numbers.
I think they are.
I don't think that they're accurate, but I'm saying, let's just assume.
You're saying they're inaccurate, but they prove that Israel has done a great job.
Those assume that the most widespread numbers, the largest numbers that have been reported
out of Gaza by Hamas, let's assume they're true.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm not saying they are true, but assume they're true.
Let's just take them at their word.
Then you still have a lower number of civilians killed in any urban warfare environment in
modern history.
Fact.
Is that a fact?
Yes.
What are you comparing it to?
to any urban war in Iraq, Afghanistan, Afghanistan, I don't think it was any fighting in urban
areas in Afghanistan, Kabul, I don't know was there was there were there pitch battles
in Kabul over long periods of time. I don't 20 years in Kabul. I don't throughout all
of Afghanistan, but what was what were those rates? You're talking about what are the
the rates there?
You just a number of-
Objectively untrue by the way, like there is no modern warfare equivalent of civilian
to military casualty percentages that anywhere anyone comes close for the record.
What's his face?
He's done like a lot of analysis on this.
History, is it history speaks?
like a academic guy. He's always talking about it. And he's using history speaks. And he's
using like the most conservative estimates when he's talking about it to it's not even
like he's not even using like the the Lancet study estimates at all. As far as like bombing
direct military conflict like direct military kills we're not talking about
uh... we're not talking about like sanctions and stuff because america
obviously cooks uh... everyone else went when it comes to like the full
full spectrum warfare but these numbers the very very conservative estimates
are direct combat casualties
okay
and as far as like direct combat casualties goes
with the percentage of
Children the proportion of children among those killed by Israel is radically higher than all recent non-genicidal wars for which I can find data
As well as Bosnia a genocidal war it closely matches. However, two of the genocide listed here the Nazi Holocaust and Rwanda
With the time frame and
The number of children killed
Well, not the number two but like the percentage of of total violent fatalities
The proportion of children among those killed by Israel is radically higher than all recent
non-genocidal wars for which we can find data on as well as Bosnia a genocidal war it closely
matches however to the genocides listed here the Nazi Holocaust and Rwanda okay the percentage
of total violent fatalities for children is 30 percent okay 30 percent in Bosnia it's
four percent Kosovo nine percent Afghanistan there's no numbers on it in
Iraq is less than five percent in Syria it's 13 percent in Yemen the Saudi
air war which also is another it was also another genocide as well 16% the
second highest on this list that is like is it a genocide is it not a
genocide, you know? And if you look at the Battle of Mosul, it's 9%. If you look at the
Russo-Ukrainian war, it's less than 1%. And if you look at the 7th of October attack on Israel,
it's 3%. The only instance where it's either close to or exactly the same percentage is
Rwanda and the Nazi Holocaust looking at just the Jewish victims only okay
It's not a question there is no question here there's nothing there's no comparison
No
Your land exclusively.
Is anyone saying they don't?
Yes, of course.
Yes.
No one will say they will and I'm asking you do they have that right?
Yeah, it says my name on it too. We have the same fucking last name bitch
Anyway, Mara was just knocking on the door like the cops like the police
Anyway, what the fuck what oh, oh, we were looking at this sorry I clicked on the wrong video
There's also there's also one more hold on
Sure
Oh, yeah, hold on where is it there's another one as well
I'm trying to find the other data point as well. Oh, no, this is children killed
Okay, if you want to look at women killed, okay, if you want to, the freak is happening, bro.
Brit, Brit. Okay.
I hate the way the power scale atrocities and makes people care for the current and
and preventable one and they're still resistant. I know. Um, if we look at the,
so we looked at the proportion of children killed, right?
If you look at the, the proportion of,
of, of women who are killed,
Mr. Speaks, uh, covers the house version of box loaner sites,
cast lead and protective edges models for how the idea of his conduct is having
current war
among those killed in gaza the portion who are women is a hundred and thirty
percent higher than in cast lead and seventy seven percent higher than in
protective edge
seems like something qualitatively completely different is going on has
been a streamer
as my chart shows
the proportion of women among those killed by israel dwarves of the
recent war syria case a air campaign in yemen iraq kosovo
bosnia columbia
this despite the fact that gaza because it's such a high percentage of
children the population is an unusually low percentage of women and
men slash adults in general. Okay. The only other, I mean, the, the percentage of, of total
violent fatalities in the IDF assault on Gaza from the 7th of 2023, the 15th of July, 2025.
Note, unlike child death, no figure for women is available through December, 2025 is 19%.
Okay, 19%.
And the only percentage that is higher is the 7th of October attack by Palestinian militants,
which is at 27%.
And that's also because the IDF has a female combatants as well, like, which implies that
But obviously, like, you know, female civilians were killed at a high rate, but also a lot
of female combatants as well.
Just so you understand.
So there is no comparison in general with any of these other, and these aren't even
like, we're talking about violent fatalities, we're not even talking about casualties across
the board.
As this chatter correctly points to, it shouldn't be just children killed, there
It shows to be children mutilated, maimed, dismembered, amputee, children with lifelong mental trauma.
That's 100 percent.
If you talk about children with lifelong mental trauma, that's 100 percent of the children in Gaza.
Okay?
But if you look at, like, the casualty numbers, which feature wounded, gravely, severely wounded children as well,
the number, obviously, even skyrocketed past that point.
We're just looking at dead children.
Children that have been killed. Okay?
It's fucking crazy.
So, when Mike Huckabee said such an insane thing,
it is so easily disprovable, you know, you've got to bring this shit up.
And this is like, with the limited availability that we have to count this.
People who were killed into the tens of thousands.
I'm asking you to-
I don't know the answer.
I've never heard of any of this.
You brought it up.
You said the IDF has killed a lower proportion of civilians in urban warfare than in any
urban conflict in modern history.
I'd never heard that before. I don't know what your what are the controls for that and you said well
I'm married the US military killed more
Would you agree that the real tragedy was that Hamas continued to force this war?
Hold on you just once again said that the IDF is more humane than the United States military
You just said that you said in Iraq and Afghanistan the US military killed more civilians than the IDF did in Gaza
You just told me I never heard that before and my question is how do you know that what are those numbers?
And I'm trying to explain to you that there were
Extraordinary efforts to keep you know the numbers like you I think there were tens of thousands
I'll get them for you. Well, you brought it up. That's the only reason I'm pushing you
But you I'm wearing a flag. I've worked for a country and you do you
Do you bitch you're in the process of literally being like the idea was more moral than the American military
Military as an American citizen who is an American State Department employee
It's fucking nuts that I'm telling you these get to do look first of all to do a little intro
Obviously doesn't work with Mike Huckabee because he's not Jewish which is part of the reason why I you know
I I feel no need to restrain myself and can unload on him to the best of my ability as much as I want
Because the whole anti-semitism argument doesn't fucking fit here
Um, but also even then it's not dual or the it's single loyalty. You don't give a fuck about America, bro
That's crazy
He doesn't care he doesn't care about America at all he literally said listen, I got this flag on my I got this flag
I'm wearing it right here Tucker and I'll tell you what
The only most moral the only nations military that matters is as Israel pretended or alleged
that somehow I'm not loyal to this and you just said a better job than the US military
in Iraq and Afghanistan and I said what are the numbers and you said I don't know.
So on what basis are you making the claim that the IDF in Gaza spared more civilians
than the US Army and Marine Corps did in Afghanistan and Iraq?
Why are you saying that?
Like on what basis are you saying that?
From the conversations that I've had with the people who fought there and I don't
have the exact numbers for you this whole thing is one hundred and a side of
exams as well Israel justifies existence huckabee would not have accepted
otherwise no Huckabee doesn't do a fuck about a full minty anti-semson or whatever
he did I'm telling you I think Mike Huckabee would literally if it meant if
there was a 1% chance it would trigger rapture and Mike Huckabee is like if
If you hit this button and you nuke Washington, D.C. where there are, you know, Americans living
there as well, okay, as well as all of the other Americans, he would not even hesitate
to be like, one percent, I'll take those odds.
What do you mean?
I wish Dems would lie like this.
Most we get is a strongly worded letter.
I don't think anti-Semitism helps Israel as much as they believe it, as much as
they believe it does? Well, they certainly seem to believe it helps them quite a bit
because, you know, they fomented pretty aggressively.
It is pretty nuts. I've never encountered a person in the real world like that. I'll tell
you that. I am oftentimes I'm fascinated with a new type of guy. You know, I, I'm fascinated
with like new types of guys. This is like a, like I've read about guys like this, you
know what I mean? But I've never seen them in the wild. I don't know how I would, I
don't know how I would survive that encounter. But on that note, I'm going to end it here
today. Ladies and gentlemen, boys, girls and MBS, that'll be all for today on the
broadcast on the Hassanabi broadcast because I'm tired of my brothers here
I'm gonna go hang out with him and yeah there's more more to come tomorrow
there's so much that I don't get to cover every day but hopefully it was an
informative and enlightening experience for all of you. Love you all and peace.

Cause there he is again, the sun is streaming, the sun is streaming
There he is again, the sun is streaming, the sun is streaming
Kicked out of the DNC, got a rail and marched the good.
Combating the propaganda, the shut down people's throats.
CBS Israeli news, a coup, a regime false.
A full bone fascist takeover and still the duty calls
Total radicalization coming out to sea
The system went, he'll always fail, it's up to you and me
All these daily streams, whether short or weather long,
Have helped millions of people keep it moving right along.
Cause there he is again, her son is streaming
Her son is streaming
There he is again, her son is streaming
