[00:12:48] Doing the low battery beep randomly as I started my broadcast like as soon as Austin got done
[00:12:54] with his fucking broadcast and
[00:12:57] I got started with mine my fire alarm started beeping like doing the the
[00:13:02] the poverty beep
[00:13:05] Okay, it's just I don't know if you guys can hear it or not. I don't know if it's loud enough, but it's chirping at me
[00:13:13] Wait, it's any it's in your room
[00:13:15] room. Oh, so wait, it literally started while you were streaming. It started as soon as you
[00:13:23] got done with your stream.
[00:13:26] That's crazy. Austin's here.
[00:13:28] I'm gay and Lebanese.
[00:13:31] Yeah, Austin, Austin is Austin's a streamer now. He just streams in the mornings. He
[00:13:36] just streams at night. He just streams all the time. It's crazy.
[00:13:39] Right. You were concerned about financial well being.
[00:13:43] Yeah.
[00:13:44] So we did, we did, we did have a combo or it was like Austin. Yeah.
[00:13:50] I was Austin. Are you all right? Smokalarm.
[00:13:52] Chirpin like a true pro pro tarot. Yeah. So anyway, this is the part of the bar guys
[00:13:56] where I tell you about my personal lose balls going on in the world was on Austin

[00:14:01] prison starts streaming button. So help me God. That's what I'm going to do.

[00:14:20] 74 degrees and sunny here.
[00:14:22] I wouldn't even know what a blizzard looks like.
[00:14:25] I would have known what a blizzard sounds like.
[00:14:27] Is that something you get at a dairy queen?
[00:14:31] You know what I'm saying?
[00:14:32] Oh, you guys have blizzards.
[00:14:34] Yeah, we do too.
[00:14:35] We go to the dairy queen to get one.
[00:14:36] It's a delicious treat when it's 74 degrees and it's sunny here in Los Angeles, California.
[00:14:42] Do you even own a shovel?
[00:14:45] Of course not.
[00:14:47] Of course not.
[00:14:48] I'm wearing this jacket.
[00:14:49] So you guys feel I'm wearing this jacket.
[00:14:53] So you guys feel a sense of kinship.
[00:14:57] Like I'm, uh, you know, like I'm in a similar predicament.
[00:15:00] You know what I mean?
[00:15:01] I'm wearing it, but, uh, I haven't seen the
[00:15:06] son in three weeks. Oof. Oof. That's a yikes for me chatter. Hey,

[00:15:21] famously. Anyway, when people are out there talking when people
[00:15:31] are out there talking big shit. Oh, look at us. We got Zoram
[00:15:35] Donnie we got Zoramum Donnie. He's our mayor. What kind of mayor do you have? I

[00:15:51] But guess what is fucking 74 degrees is sunny here in California Los Angeles, baby. Let's fucking go
[00:15:58] Let's fucking go
[00:16:02] Yeah
[00:16:04] Potential blast off meme. Um, liberals vote for Gavin Newsom or Alice is on. No, dude,
[00:16:12] you don't understand. Um, they're, they got the knives out for me. Boy, do they got the
[00:16:18] knives out for me? The, the, the Gavin Newsom, I'm not voting for him. Shit. I did not
[00:16:23] realize that was going to bring about, um, assassination squads. Like I think desk squads
[00:16:30] are out dude straight up like they are they're coming after me so hard bro it's crazy
[00:16:52] BlueMaga is real, yeah the new sum his squads, the liberal desk squads, the hitters.
[00:17:00] You underestimated how much hotter he is than you, no I think he's a much, much better looking
[00:17:04] guy than me for sure.
[00:17:12] The DNC hates you ason, I know.
[00:17:16] Harry Sasan is coming for my gains, yeah it's over, it's like extra over for me.
[00:17:21] It's extra over for me because Harry Sasan is like getting brolic now like they're cooking my ass
[00:17:31] Foreign wanted to make a donation to your soundboard. It's of your laugh. What is this?
[00:17:37] Congratulations on your soundboard just for you. I have a gift
[00:17:47] That's crazy
[00:17:51] Okay, so I just wanted to be quiet so that he could go and finally get that.
[00:17:55] Because there's absolutely no reason that you don't have your own laugh on it, right?
[00:17:59] He needs his own laugh, right?
[00:18:01] That's a peace offering for the Fast and Furious community.
[00:18:05] We come in peace.
[00:18:06] For the most part.
[00:18:07] For the most part.
[00:18:08] I still don't like half of your nicks.
[00:18:11] But like I said, right?
[00:18:15] Damn, he does, the echo is so long.
[00:18:19] He does, this is foreign Fridays, right?
[00:18:21] He does like a lot of soundboard stuff.
[00:18:25] He does way more soundboards than I do.
[00:18:28] Learn from this man.
[00:18:29] I didn't know foreign streamed.
[00:18:30] Yeah, he's great.
[00:18:33] Another day, another green, black mention.
[00:18:39] That my Zionism is rooted in humanism.
[00:18:42] Oh my God, he back, he back.
[00:18:47] He back. Yo, my ops, my ops, my ops, my baldest op is back. Now he's on the Jerusalem post,
[00:18:58] which is crazy. Cause like, uh, he's, he's fallen out of favor in, uh, liberal mainstream
[00:19:09] news. He's like doing this shit. He's crying to Jerusalem post.
[00:19:14] You saw the latest and greatest from Gavin Newsom in Atlanta. Yes. Yes. I saw green
[00:19:30] black moxie. No, Gavin mox me. Green black does not green black does not mug me. Shut
[00:19:36] up. Okay. So where was I? Oh, personal news wise shot the episode of the fear and podcast
[00:19:44] last night. Uh, and the broadcast shot the episode of the fear and pockets.
[00:19:48] I hope you guys enjoyed it. It's the, uh, cutie is back episode.
[00:19:55] And it was a wonderful time. Lots of,
[00:20:00] lots of fun was lots of fun was had, but, uh,
[00:20:06] after that went to sleep,
[00:20:08] I didn't really have too much time to do anything else.
[00:20:09] I couldn't watch the game of thrones season in the land.
[00:20:12] unfortunately, so, you know, I will watch that hopefully tonight, but Season Finale
[00:20:18] couldn't watch.
[00:20:21] You only have fun off stream, you changed, it's true.
[00:20:26] But other than that, I went to sleep, I woke up early, are you out?
[00:20:32] What's your view on Tourette's?
[00:20:33] Oh yeah, I'll talk about that as well, of course.
[00:20:37] The lost phone was had, I went to sleep, I woke up early and as I was walking out of
[00:20:43] my, uh, as I was walking out of my house, Austin came in and had this like look of shame.
[00:20:49] He had this look of shame in his eye.
[00:20:51] Like he was doing something shameful.
[00:20:52] Like he was going to live stream before I go live and I was like, yeah, it's fine.
[00:20:57] Um, and, and I straight up had to ask him like, are you, are you doing all right
[00:21:02] financially?
[00:21:04] Like I just genuinely I had to ask him because
[00:21:08] He's such a goddamn penny pincher that there are times and he also schemes so much and he also like
[00:21:17] Will will you know do financial engineering on people?
[00:21:22] Like me and will from time to time when we go on travels that like it literally made me like it made both me
[00:21:30] And will think like he might not be doing so good
[00:21:33] He might not be doing so good financially and he was like, no, I just like, you know,
[00:21:41] I just, I just, I'm, I'm doing all right.
[00:21:43] Like I'm doing all right financially and I just want to stream more.
[00:21:48] So he basically was like, there's not, there's never, there's never, there's never too
[00:21:54] much money that you can make.
[00:21:57] That's what he said to me, you know.
[00:21:59] And then he also said, I'm gay and Lebanese. And I was like, all right, man. All right.
[00:22:06] You keep, you know, you keep doing you. Yeah. Mr. Frugal, it turns out he's just frugal.
[00:22:12] It's not, it's not, he's not, you know, if he tries to get you guys to like fucking
[00:22:16] farm donations, like sympathy donations or anything like that, where he's like, oh,
[00:22:19] I'm so poor. Like don't believe his ass. Okay. Um, so yeah, will you play GTA six?
[00:22:29] We're not in World War three by then. By the way, the show was 9.5 out of 10. Thank you.
[00:22:34] Black, anti-black racism and ableism discourse at the same time. I'm begging you. Don't get
[00:22:38] involved. Oh dude, I'm going to drop a bomb. I'm going to drop a stinker, dude.
[00:22:47] Certain group of people going to have a field day with this one. Yeah. When is this from?
[00:22:53] I saw him. I think this is like, uh, but Trump hands in any Yahoo White House,
[00:22:59] gold key says is the key to our country. Oh, it's from 2020.
[00:23:06] See, there you go. I was like, this is not new.
[00:23:09] Abraham, of course, 2027 for the first lady to prime minister and the first
[00:23:14] lady of Israel. And it's a key.
[00:23:18] We call it a key to the White House and it's a key to our country and to
[00:23:21] hearts given by myself and the first lady to prime minister and the first lady of Israel.
[00:23:29] Wait, what? Peter Mandelson is arrested? No. Oh, oh my God. Oh, that's amazing, bro.
[00:23:40] Peter Mandelson is arrested too. I called this. Let's fucking go. Did I not call it? I said,
[00:23:47] Remember, I said the same charges that they apply to Prince Andrew, they could just as
[00:23:56] easily fucking use on Peter Mandelson.
[00:23:59] Let's fucking go!
[00:24:17] you
[00:24:47] you
[00:25:17] you
[00:25:47] you
[00:26:17] you

[00:28:03] In the building later.
[00:28:05] get in now dude dude it's a Twitter discourse I just like usually shy away
[00:28:14] from because I think it's like really stupid and I probably shouldn't do this
[00:28:19] either but but I might do it what is this can you tell him he can't tweet
[00:28:27] like this locked loaded plowing track our fleet in real time.
[00:28:37] I can't tell him shit man. Okay. Listen, he's, he's cooking on social media. He's cooking.
[00:28:43] There are areas where I, you know, I disagree with them, but his social media is so good.
[00:28:49] He's so goaded. He's so good on social media. He's like almost single, well not single
[00:28:53] handedly is an incredible team shout out to all the hook and all the boys and
[00:28:57] ladies that are working on the team but his social media presence has been
[00:29:02] able to cut away at like the unlimited faucet of right-wing misinformation so
[00:29:09] he is doing a phenomenal job like an actually phenomenal job here you told
[00:29:18] him. He was a real ass eater. I mean, he is. He is a real ass eater, but uh, yeah, let's
[00:29:25] blast off Mexico cartel war. So do tomorrow. My locker shooter was MAGA turrets gate at
[00:29:30] BAFTA another Epstein affiliate down in the UK, Tariff terrorism, Oliver Moffin, Lieutenant

[00:29:50] And pussy to
[00:29:54] To reds gate is crazy, bro, I
[00:29:57] Mean I eat it doesn't explain what my take is on it calm down before you get fucking mad at me
[00:30:06] You don't know what I'm about to say
[00:30:08] Did you pump weights this morning?
[00:30:11] I did.
[00:30:12] That's why I'm in a good-ass mood, bro.
[00:30:13] I did not pump weights yesterday morning, so I wasn't as good in a mood, but this morning
[00:30:17] I am in a good-ass mood, and the reason for why is because I pump weights.
[00:30:21] Anyway, always in a better mood when I get a lift in.
[00:30:28] Redeemed on Newsome again?
[00:30:30] Oh yeah.
[00:30:31] I have another, I have another thing that I, uh, you know, that I got to talk about with
[00:30:39] Gavin Newsom, but relevant to what you spoke about over the weekend with a cartel. Yeah.
[00:30:48] Okay. Where, where should we begin? Where should we begin? We got the playlist. Thank
[00:30:52] you. The Macy is, um, should we do with the Tourette's gate? I mean, it's like,
[00:30:56] I talked about it briefly on the podcast, on the behind the paywall, but I mean, I don't
[00:31:03] know why it's like a matter of a profound discourse because like it's, it's, uh, I think it was
[00:31:11] a stead that said it best on Twitter where he was like, it literally is like, um, it's
[00:31:18] like an LSAT woke thought experiment, you know what I mean?
[00:31:24] like, like the way that they designed it, the way that they designed it is, or maybe it wasn't
[00:31:31] a stead who said, oh no, it was. Yeah. This is, he said, this is like some wokeness world problem,
[00:31:37] word problem that would appear on a standardized test. Like, of course, like there are,
[00:31:46] don't trust this guy, he's in the pocket of big Tourette's. Yeah. It's like a woke trolley problem
[00:31:49] where on the one hand it's like Black folks ain't trying to hear this.
[00:31:56] Okay, calm down. You don't know what I'm about to say.
[00:32:00] You don't know about what I'm about to say?
[00:32:07] Bro, is still Black or Schumann?
[00:32:11] This is like an Eric Carman bit. No, it's just like,
[00:32:13] like, I think if you want to blame someone, blame the event organizers who just straight
[00:32:23] up kept it in. Because stuff like that is on a delay. Stuff like that is on a delay.
[00:32:31] And they could adjust as easily edited that out, you know, and they didn't. And it's
[00:32:36] fucking insane that they didn't edit that out. I don't understand why they chose not
[00:32:40] to edit it out. But basically, the after film awards host Alan coming, thank the audience
[00:32:45] for the understanding after a series of audible outbursts from Tourette's campaigner, John
[00:32:48] Davidson interrupted the ceremony. John Davidson himself was, was being recognized as someone
[00:32:54] who has, you know, crippling Tourette's and, and as a part of Tourette's, there is a,
[00:33:03] there is a, a aspect of Tourette's where you like say something that is, you know,
[00:33:08] is incredibly inappropriate. And the things that he was saying, he said a bunch of things that
[00:33:12] were inappropriate, but the most inappropriate thing he did was basically when Michael B. Jordan
[00:33:15] was on stage, he said the N word with a hard R. And what's crazier about the story, of course,
[00:33:22] is that they literally fucking apparently edited literally the free Palestine segment,
[00:33:29] but they didn't edit this.
[00:33:30] Like, it blows my freaking mind, dude.
[00:33:37] How is that possible that you are capable of editing out a speech where someone says
[00:33:42] free Palestine, but you can't edit out the N word?
[00:33:48] You are out of your dang mind.
[00:33:53] But in any case, there are a lot of people who are like, oh, no, he was doing it on
[00:33:58] purpose.
[00:33:59] uh, he was doing it on purpose. No, I don't think he was doing it on purpose, but it doesn't matter.
[00:34:04] It's still horrifying to hear that. If you're, I mean, it's horrifying to hear that when you're
[00:34:10] a black person in general, but you're also like a professional actor. This is your moment of glory.
[00:34:15] You're on stage and you just get slung with the fucking dehumanizing slur. Of course, that's
[00:34:20] like impactful regardless. Like, I don't know. I don't know why it's like such a difficult
[00:34:25] the thing to comprehend. Yeah, corporelia is the specific type of terrorist where you like say
[00:34:34] something that is incredibly inappropriate and you have no control over it. And I don't understand
[00:34:41] like why people think like no it's fake. It's not fake man. What the fuck? That's kind of the
[00:34:51] whole thing. It's, that's the whole, that's the entire ordeal, you know? I will say though,
[00:35:00] I will say this, not to get into the woke Olympic side of this at all, but I do think there are
[00:35:06] certain types of slurs that if he were to say, they would have cut it out. If he said something
[00:35:13] like anti-Jewish, they would have cut that shit out. They cut out free Palestine. Of course,
[00:35:18] they would have cut out an anti-Jewish slur as well. Like the fact that black people are just treated
[00:35:25] like shit in general by even polite society in a moment where they're supposed to be honored
[00:35:30] is fucking insane, okay? Like really? You're not going to clean that up, really? That's crazy.
[00:35:36] That is actually fucking crazy. There is no world where you, there is no world
[00:35:44] or if he had dropped something different that would that they wouldn't have
[00:35:51] actually cleaned that shit up they would have okay pretty sure real sufferers
[00:35:58] don't switch it up based on who is speaking but what do you mean
[00:36:04] definitely was a black man why so many switches up the words no no it's it's
[00:36:08] literally the maximum worse word like that's the whole point what no you
[00:36:13] You don't know. I don't think you know. Uh, I don't think you know how it works. Um, that's
[00:36:20] not how it works. And there's also, it's funny that there's like discourse happening right
[00:36:24] now around this stuff, which is a discourse around ableism in general, because like this
[00:36:29] is one of the disabilities that like a lot of people will say is fake. And they'll
[00:36:35] say you're doing it for attention, which is again, unironically ableist. Okay. This
[00:36:40] is this is actually a very ableist thing because this is something that you're fucking dealing
[00:36:48] with for for your whole life and then all of a sudden everyone's like literally wait what is it
[00:36:56] the vocab is in his lingo no dude what do you think you think someone that is at his age has
[00:37:05] never heard the n-word like what are you talking about no this is all made up shit you're all
[00:37:10] all wrong. That's not how it works. That's not how this works at all. Also, it's funny
[00:37:26] because there are black people with Tourette's and they have already spoken about this. Like,
[00:37:37] i don't understand why you guys are making it seem like this is a white only issue
[00:37:41] like you go listen to a black person with tears they will tell you
[00:37:45] the way terrence works is exactly like that
[00:37:49] it's not like um...
[00:37:52] there isn't like a like a the the the real racism i think is coming from
[00:37:57] the expectations for black actors and black people in general to just like
[00:38:01] eat it
[00:38:02] okay the real racism is coming from the the systemic
[00:38:06] racism that, that BBC didn't choose to fucking take that out of the final editing process.
[00:38:12] The racism isn't like in the individual there where it's like a dude with a, an individual
[00:38:17] with a, with a pretty significant disability is, is just out there saying the N word and
[00:38:23] he did it specifically to like a hurt a black person's feelings and they're doing it
[00:38:28] for attention or there, there is like some other sinister purpose for it.
[00:38:33] uh... now that the actual racism is the is the racism at the systemic front
[00:38:38] where
[00:38:39] where people just think like you know
[00:38:42] uh... black actors supposed to eat that shit and they're supposed to be
[00:38:45] accommodating uh... to
[00:38:47] a moment of dehumanization even if this is a moment of dehumanization that
[00:38:51] comes at the at the tail end of like a real disability
[00:38:56] that's that's what the problem is
[00:39:03] What happens if Michael B. Jordan or another person not aware of this guy having this really
[00:39:13] confronted him on stage for life or dropping the slur would they be given the same clemency
[00:39:16] with the person with the turrets?
[00:39:17] Fuck no.
[00:39:18] What?
[00:39:19] Of course not.
[00:39:20] They would have cooked them.
[00:39:22] But they're fucking consummate professionals.
[00:39:24] They just literally ate that shit and moved on, which was crazy.
[00:39:29] Yeah, it's just like, um.
[00:39:35] Tick tock on the topic. Yeah.
[00:39:37] And nor how I look right now.
[00:39:38] Pretty great kitchen.
[00:39:40] I am not feeling too great.
[00:39:42] However, there is something I have been asked to talk about.
[00:39:45] And that is going to be the BAFTA situation.
[00:39:47] I have been seeing a bunch of outrage about it.
[00:39:52] People saying, oh, well, why would that even be a disobey?
[00:39:56] He did that on purpose and all of this stuff and that racism is too excused.
[00:40:01] Very bitch-sad day for the Tourette Syndrome community, especially for the ones that have
[00:40:06] copper lalia because when you come online and you see thousands of people hating on
[00:40:13] your condition specifically copper lalia because that's something that is already very embarrassing
[00:40:18] for all of us.
[00:40:19] Not going to say that people can't be offended by the fact that somebody said
[00:40:25] the end work as a tick. However, it's not something that somebody can control.
[00:40:29] It's not something that somebody wants to say. And I've been seeing a lot of people
[00:40:33] be like, well, he said it like when the crowd went silent. That is most likely
[00:40:37] when a tick is going to happen when you're in public, when you're in complete
[00:40:41] silence or when you're trying not to say or do something. So we must understand
[00:40:45] what coprolalia is. Coprolalia causes involuntary swearing.
[00:40:50] And people to rest are four times more likely to die from suicide than the
[00:40:54] average person, people think it's fake or crazy. Yeah.
[00:40:58] Appropriate ticks. This can include the N words, slurs, et cetera.
[00:41:01] I mean,
[00:41:01] like it's the maximum worst thing you can say in that moment. Like,
[00:41:06] do you understand?
[00:41:09] So like in a weird way, like the person is obviously aware that saying that is
[00:41:16] going to be completely unacceptable,
[00:41:19] which is low key part of the reason why it's uncontrollable and he's
[00:41:22] saying it.
[00:41:23] So it's like it's not like a sneaky way to
[00:41:28] You know get away with like being a heinous racist person, you know what I mean?
[00:41:32] Like I think there's a lot of people approach it as like
[00:41:35] Understandably a lot of people approach it especially a lot of black people approach it as like oh here we go
[00:41:40] another fucking Caucasian person at it again, and I totally understand why people think that that's what's going on here
[00:41:49] Because there are a lot of people who do that
[00:41:51] Okay, there are a lot of people who are constantly trying to get away with it, you know, they're
[00:41:57] playing fast and loose, they're fucking racist and they're expressing their racist tendencies.
[00:42:04] But this is the one instance where like, and it's ironic because like, he literally was
[00:42:10] there to offer visibility to his, his disability, right?
[00:42:18] like, and I think he like left the room after it happened so many times and it wasn't just
[00:42:25] Annward he was like doing a lot of that right so he like literally excused himself in the room
[00:42:30] because he was like this is you know, he was really fucked up. He once also shouted fuck the queen
[00:42:37] when she was supposed to night him. My friend from high school said you say what you know
[00:42:46] you shouldn't because you fear saying it, that you end up saying it because you're so fearful.
[00:42:50] He sadly took his life four to five years after high school.
[00:42:57] Not gonna lie, this is a, what is this? This is a hard thing for me to wrap my head around.
[00:43:00] Not gonna lie, as a black person, I don't want anyone calling me a slur. Yes, that's why I'm
[00:43:04] showing you a black person with Tourette's explaining it. So it's a little bit easier to
[00:43:11] comprehend that it's not like coming from a place of like, it's not coming from a place of,
[00:43:15] of like being sinister, it's still unacceptable regardless. You know what I mean? Cause at the
[00:43:20] point of the, at the, if you're on the receiving end, who gives a fuck what the purpose is, right?
[00:43:26] Like who gives a fuck why you're hearing it? I'm just describing to you that it's,
[00:43:29] it's still an involuntary process.
[00:43:34] Person, even I have the enver tick and for the record, I don't think it's ableist for,
[00:43:39] for people to be like, well, why didn't he apologize? Like just because it's involuntary
[00:43:44] doesn't mean you can't still be, it still can't lead to a harmful, it still can't lead to harm.
[00:43:52] Like what? Do we even know he hadn't apologized? What are you talking about? Like it's just like,
[00:43:57] it's a very, I don't know if he, I don't know if he did or if he didn't. I'd be shocked if he
[00:44:03] didn't, but like, oh, he did apologize. Okay. Yeah. Tourette's activist John Davidson says
[00:44:09] he's deeply mortified of anyone considers my involuntary tricks to be intentional or to
[00:44:12] to carry any meaning and they chose to leave the ceremony early. Threats activist John Davison
[00:44:21] who inadvertently shelled the M word during the bathroom awards on Sunday night has released
[00:44:24] the statement after wise by backlash. Davison in first period. All right, we'll look at that
[00:44:28] in a second, bro. Can you let her explain her perspective without pausing her mid-take?
[00:44:31] It's hella rude. Man, shut the fuck up. Lawyers, this takes. This is something
[00:44:36] I don't see many talk about because of situations like this. Is it a disappointing thing?
[00:44:41] shut up! That it happened in public in front of that entire crowd, specifically to Michael B. Jordan
[00:44:46] and the other presenter. I'm so sorry I do not know his name, I wish I did, but no disrespect to him,
[00:44:51] I just am not too aware. Yes, it is a very unfortunate situation. Seeing so, so, so many
[00:44:57] people say that they would invoke violence against people with copper alalia if they can't control
[00:45:02] their tics, that's ableism. The fucked up thing that this happens, yes, but it's something
[00:45:07] that we can't control. Aggression in the brain being trick, trick, trick, trick, trick, trick,
[00:45:15] and ultimately causing inappropriate tics. I hope we Jordan and the other presenter have
[00:45:20] the right to be upset, especially if they were not aware. However, however, we need to understand
[00:45:25] and educate ourselves. Stand on my videos. I constantly see people saying, oh my god,
[00:45:30] so funny. If I had cursing tics, I would be laughing all the time. But when people
[00:45:33] actually have cursing tics, then it's offensive and they're a bad person in this and that
[00:45:37] We need to do better. We need to educate ourselves better.
[00:45:42] This is not me saying that people don't have the right to be offended.
[00:45:45] However, you can't be offended when a disabled person is disabled.
[00:45:48] I might make a part two to this. There's a law that I need to see.
[00:45:54] This is part two to my last post about the entire Baptist situation.
[00:45:58] I am seeing a ton of people saying, oh my God, during Black History Month,
[00:46:02] month, Tourette syndrome is not based on a month. Offensive takes are going to happen
[00:46:06] no matter what. Apologies for your disability, please. No, I think it's no, no, no, no. That's
[00:46:15] unacceptable. Listen, listen, listen. We live in a society, okay? And I think it's, it's
[00:46:22] important for, for someone to be like, this is my disability. It's real. It's not,
[00:46:27] you know, I didn't seek to offend you, but it's also good to communicate that.
[00:46:32] you talking about like that's not no I did that's that's a part of like you know
[00:46:39] being a social animal there's a part of like having a normal social experience like
[00:46:46] I don't know how would it how else to explain it a person there are plenty of
[00:46:50] different disabilities like it's not I have other slurs as takes does this
[00:46:57] mean that I use them regularly does this mean that I mean them does this
[00:47:00] mean that I can control what I say. No, it does not. That's not how copper lately it
[00:47:03] works. That is not how Tourette syndrome works. Quite literally the sweet and needed situation
[00:47:07] all over again. Shut up. Where she ended up saying the N word on stream. She got canceled
[00:47:12] for it got called racist, etc. We need to do better. I've seen so many people say that
[00:47:19] we can control. You wouldn't ask someone with Alzheimer's to apologize for forgetting
[00:47:22] something the because at that point, depending on which level of Alzheimer's they're
[00:47:28] on, it's, it's, it's gone. You know what I mean? A better example of this would be like,
[00:47:33] a better example of this would be like something that your, your disability is brought about.
[00:47:38] That is like, this is a social issue, right? This is a social issue in this circumstance. Like,
[00:47:46] there is, like forgetting something doesn't have the same impact of, of like,
[00:47:52] like dehumanizing a black person in public, dude. I know that it's not deliberate. I know
[00:47:58] that it's not on purpose, but like the impact of that is far more consequential than forgetting
[00:48:05] something when your grandpa, when your, when your grandpa has Alzheimer's, I forgot something.
[00:48:09] The fuck are you talking about? Like, you know, I also don't understand why you guys
[00:48:19] are saying this kind of stuff, like, now you're making me think you're just saying it specifically
[00:48:25] because like people should be able to say it, you know? Yeah, if you have IBS, you can fart
[00:48:31] and you can apologize for farting, you don't go, I have IBS, fuck you. Like, what do you
[00:48:39] mean it's not is not it's not able is to be like you know oh that I didn't know I
[00:48:48] didn't know what was going on but that was I still made me feel some type of
[00:48:51] fucking way you know hello
[00:49:03] that's why the discourse is discoursing they be saying wow shit like that
[00:49:09] Kanye should have to apologize, or you saying Kanye shouldn't have to apologize is bipolar.
[00:49:17] Does that chatter that Kanye shouldn't apologize is bipolar? Yeah, that's the other side of
[00:49:21] the story as well, which is like, you know, like there's a, there is, and with Kanye,
[00:49:29] there's also other components involved in it. It's like the frequency of what he did.
[00:49:34] wasn't like a like a one-off, right? So even then it's not like a full-blown 100%
[00:49:41] one-to-one comparison.
[00:49:44] Artics, that's not... if you can control a tick, it's not a tick.
[00:49:48] Can you explain what a tick is in detail? Shut up, bitch.
[00:49:51] A tick is when your neurons misfire. You think that you can seriously fucking
[00:49:56] control a neuron misfiring. I don't... I've never seen a human
[00:50:01] possibly do that.
[00:50:02] We have got to stop thinking with our feelings and start thinking with logic.
[00:50:06] It is okay to be offended, check.
[00:50:08] What it is not okay to do is be ableist and try to make it seem like people went to write
[00:50:15] specifically those with copperleglia to say their takes on purpose.
[00:50:19] My whole think piece on this, if you are offended, I do deeply apologize but I'm just
[00:50:23] being logical here.
[00:50:24] I see a lot of people giving their think pieces and they are specifically talking
[00:50:29] about racism when tics don't correlate with racism. But that's not what causes offensive
[00:50:34] or obscene tics. What causes those kinds of tics are coprolalia. Coprolalia, shut up,
[00:50:40] is completely involuntary and does not involve your vocabulary.
[00:50:46] Okay, but where does this stop? The Baptist gave multiple disclaimers. He had to apologize
[00:50:49] after every take. Look at the woman in his video. If she was saying a slur or something offensive,
[00:50:54] she had to apologize 5,000 times a day. At what point is it just dehumanizing
[00:50:57] literally every single person involved, both the people uncontrollably saying something offensive
[00:51:01] or hateful, and the person on the receiving end. I mean, that's why I said they should have just
[00:51:11] like edited that shit out 100%. I don't know why you have to go to God, this is the debate Lord
[00:51:21] mentality. Why is it that every person that gets hyper and oftentimes this is a little,
[00:51:31] I'm just gonna say it's a little neuro spicy, okay? It's a little neurodivergent to just like
[00:51:38] remove the normal social function of existing in a society with other people to present a
[00:51:47] hyper isolated, a hyper isolated and incredibly exaggerated version of events in an effort
[00:51:55] to basically draw out a situation where it's like, well, this guy's, this guy's, uh, you know,
[00:52:02] he's Mr. N word. He just can't stop saying it. What if he's just like saying it a million times
[00:52:07] over? Okay, saying it a million fucking times over. Like, when is it, when does it get out of hand?
[00:52:17] It's not even like every single tick. It's just that one instance. He did say it three times. Yeah, that's true. He also said it in different moments, too.
[00:52:28] The racism conversation is important, though, but not for John, for the BBC choosing to air it. Yeah, I think the BBC should not have aired that at all.
[00:52:36] Like, I'm understanding of the involuntary aspect of it, I'm not saying he was doing
[00:52:51] it for sinister purpose or anything like that, but while a disability is inadvertent
[00:53:02] and out of your control, the impact of that, especially the social impact of that, is still
[00:53:10] very much within your, it's very much up to you to like offer some kind of explanation
[00:53:19] for it if you choose to do so, because like, wouldn't you want to make sure that people
[00:53:27] know that you're not racist?
[00:53:28] I've spent the last 12 hours watching people defense slurs and say I should be court
[00:53:32] not from society forever and face violence. It sucks. Okay, but you say you're both black
[00:53:36] and disabled. Like in this, in this situation, I, I'm, you know, trying to offer a, a nuanced
[00:53:43] perspective. Like, what about my commentary that has, uh, has, uh, been, what, what about
[00:53:50] Not my commentary that you do not agree with.
[00:53:57] As you know, he has a disability, this fucking stupid sign doesn't need to apologize.
[00:54:06] I don't understand why, like, guys, guys, it's up to the individual, okay?
[00:54:14] But there is like a, it's, it's up to the individual, okay?
[00:54:19] like wouldn't you want to let the other person know that it is outside of your control that
[00:54:25] you're not like trying to harm them? You're making it seem like people don't apologize
[00:54:31] at all. You're, you're taking away autonomy from this individual. Okay. I'm saying that
[00:54:44] in this circumstance being like, Hey, this is completely out of my control. I'm so
[00:54:47] sorry that you I'm horrified that you thought I was being racist to you I think is the appropriate
[00:54:53] measure to take and he said something along those lines regardless now obviously people don't think
[00:54:58] it's enough people don't think it's sufficient Tourette's activist John Davison who inadvertently
[00:55:04] shouted the M word during the BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday night has released a statement after
[00:55:08] widespread backlash. Davison who first began experiencing tics at the age of 12 made a number
[00:55:13] of outbursts during the first half of the ceremony including shouting shut the fuck up during
[00:55:16] during BAFTA chair, Sarah putts opening remarks
[00:55:19] when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo took to the stage
[00:55:22] to present the best visual effects award
[00:55:23] to avatar fire and ash.
[00:55:25] He also, he was heard shouting the N word.
[00:55:28] I want to thank BAFTA and everyone involved in the awards
[00:55:30] last night for their support and understanding
[00:55:31] and inviting me to attend the broadcast.
[00:55:33] Davidson said in a statement here,
[00:55:34] we'll watch the video first.
[00:55:35] Cause like, I don't know if you guys have seen it
[00:55:37] or not where the fuck is it?
[00:55:40] Isn't it here somewhere?
[00:55:41] Oh, here it is.
[00:55:42] Uh, uh, there were an hour of the night to be presenting the first BAFTA of the night for a vital part of movie making.
[00:55:52] We're here to celebrate it.
[00:55:55] And, uh, yeah, the Delaro Lindos, like, I mean, he was like, what the fuck, right?
[00:56:01] And they just, they just kept it pushing, right? They just, they just kept it pushing. They're professionals. They're pros.
[00:56:07] Sometimes you do something wrong even if you don't mean to, you still apologize.
[00:56:13] Have these don't apologize shows ever thought about the impact of the actions.
[00:56:16] Don't hate on this dude and it's good that he apologize yet.
[00:56:18] He would be apologizing his whole life though this is a larger broadcast issue.
[00:56:25] It's something people with terrestrial go with.
[00:56:27] Apologizing having to explain their condition instead of getting to just exist.
[00:56:29] I mean, there are, there are differences. Okay. There are certain instances where like,
[00:56:42] there's no apology that's warranted or necessary at all. It's up. It's, it's, it's, you, you weigh it
[00:56:49] on an individual basis. Like, what are we talking about? Why are people acting like context doesn't
[00:56:53] It doesn't fucking matter because it's the internet.
[00:56:57] That's why.
[00:56:58] Okay.
[00:56:59] That's the reason, right?
[00:57:00] It's because it's the fucking internet.
[00:57:05] That's gotta be it.
[00:57:06] No one is saying you got to be like constantly on, you got to constantly be like, I'm so
[00:57:10] sorry.
[00:57:11] I'm so sorry.
[00:57:12] I'm so sorry for every other thing that you're saying, but this is like a, like
[00:57:15] a high profile incident, you know?
[00:57:21] So that is like separate from having a disability and more so about, you know, working in a,
[00:57:35] being a part of a social setting, because he's not just like cursing, you know what I mean?
[00:57:47] He's saying a slur, the maximum slur.
[00:57:50] It's the right thing to do for him to apologize, but I don't think people should expect an apology
[00:57:52] beyond.
[00:57:53] I'm horrified that this happened and I apologize if people were offended when it's literally
[00:57:56] outside of any intention or control.
[00:57:58] And I think that kind of broad apologies vision.
[00:58:00] Yeah, no, I, I, I agree as well, but we're white.
[00:58:03] So I'm white.
[00:58:04] So I know that when I say that, people are going to be like, Oh, you're just
[00:58:07] saying that because you're a white baby.
[00:58:09] Um, you know, so he said, I wanted to thank BAFTA and everyone involved in the
[00:58:15] awards last night for their support and understanding and inviting me to attend
[00:58:18] the broadcast. Davidson said in a statement,
[00:58:20] I appreciate the announcement of the auditorium in advance of the recording warning everyone
[00:58:24] that my takes are involuntary and are not a reflection of my personal beliefs.
[00:58:27] I was heartened by the round of applause that followed this announcement and felt
[00:58:30] welcomed and understood an environment that would normally be impossible for me.
[00:58:34] Host Alan coming twice interrupted the bath to film awards proceedings to address
[00:58:38] Davidson's outbursts and wants to thank the audience,
[00:58:40] which include William and Kate and the Prince of the Princess of Wales for
[00:58:44] their understanding in the second time. Apologies if you are offended tonight.
[00:58:47] Davidson added, in addition to the announcement by Alan Cumming, the BBC and Bafta, I can
[00:58:50] only add that I am, and always have been deeply mortified of anyone considers my involuntary
[00:58:54] takes to be intentional or to carry any meaning, meaning.
[00:58:59] You conclude the statement by saying, I swear, more than any film or TV documentary explains
[00:59:04] the origins, conditions, traits, and manifestations of Tourette's syndrome.
[00:59:09] I spent my life trying to support any and empower the Tourette's community and to
[00:59:12] teach empathy, kindness, and understanding from others, and I will continue to do
[00:59:15] So Davidson said I chose to leave the auditorium early into the ceremony as I was aware of my distress
[00:59:21] Aware of the distress my tics were causing in I swear Lord of the Rings the rings of power star Robert R. Amayo
[00:59:28] Plays Davidson as he's diagnosed with a syndrome R. Amayo beat out Hollywood stars including Leo de Caprio and Ethan Hawke to take home
[00:59:34] The leading man statue for his performance the film which was nominated in five categories also won an award for
[00:59:41] casting
[00:59:45] did bro plug his project dog the reason why he's there is because of the movie what is
[00:59:55] wrong with you calm down you have in your mind you think like oh he has a sinister
[01:00:04] purpose yeah the sinister purpose is what brought awareness for his fucking disability
[01:00:12] hello
[01:00:18] what the fuck
[01:00:24] the person called Michael Bajor and Diller and Linda the n-word had no control over their actions
[01:00:28] but neither did either of them and having to endure being called it publicly amongst their
[01:00:31] peers. What about a moment of understanding for them as well? Yeah, this is the other side of this.
[01:00:35] Obviously, like, I'm not even saying like Michael B. Jordan needs to fucking suck it up or something.
[01:00:39] And I think that some people are saying that that's a little crazy, you know,
[01:00:44] that's just a little crazy. Like, come on now. What the fuck?
[01:00:50] Like that, that's, that's insane. Like, of course, he's not supposed to just suck it up.
[01:00:54] All right, and it's not ableist. It's not fucking ableist to be understanding of two
[01:01:03] black men who are on stage in front of their peers getting fucking humiliated and dehumanized
[01:01:10] in real time. Okay? What the fuck? That's crazy. You're being crazy. You're out of
[01:01:18] your fucking mind if you think that that is like a normal situation at all. Of course
[01:01:22] is not a normal situation. It's not. Delroy, Lindo wishes someone from Baptist spoke to
[01:01:30] us after MWIR was shouted at. He and Michael B. Jordan were presenting. Lindo told Vanity
[01:01:34] Fair that we didn't, we did what we had to do in that moment when the original was said
[01:01:38] by John Davidson, who was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome and attended the Baptist
[01:01:40] Film Awards as a subject of the nominated biopic, I swear. Source told Variety after
[01:01:45] the ceremony that floor managers informed guests and attendees sitting around Davidson
[01:01:48] of his condition. According to multiple sources, none of the nominees or attendees were contacted
[01:01:53] by BAFTA or BBCA to the show to notify them. That's wild too.
[01:02:04] Like I understand why the same sympathies aren't being given to Michael and Delroy.
[01:02:07] What do you mean you don't understand? It's because they're black, okay? We live in a
[01:02:11] white supremacist society. Of course people are, you know, literally looking at that and
[01:02:16] going, Oh, it's just some bad words. Why don't you just take it on the chin? It's just some bad words.
[01:02:22] It is a, it is a manifestation of white supremacist attitude where, you know, a lot of people,
[01:02:29] a lot of people who are blind to the, the impact of anti-black racism are basically
[01:02:36] expressing that same anti-blackness in the discourse by leaning into a situation
[01:02:42] where they feel like this is a totally appropriate moment to say,
[01:02:47] shut the fuck up, you can't feel some type of way about this as a black person.
[01:02:50] That's what it is. Okay.
[01:02:54] That's what it is. And some people are just unaware of their, uh, you know,
[01:03:00] aware, uh, unaware of their blind spot here. Okay. They're unaware of their blind spot.
[01:03:08] They don't even realize they think that they're being accommodating.
[01:03:11] They think that they're being nice. They think that they're being positive about it
[01:03:15] without recognizing that this is also reinforcing the same anger and resentment that black people feel
[01:03:20] in, because this is an experience that even born out of a disability, even when it's inadvertent,
[01:03:26] is still going to be traumatic. Okay? And you can't comprehend that if you don't understand
[01:03:32] the impact of white supremacy. If you can't even empathize with, you know, growing up as a black
[01:03:41] person in a white society, in a majority white society, you're just never going to be able to
[01:03:46] understand it. You're never going to, you're only going to think, oh, it's just a mean word,
[01:03:50] it's just a silly word. Why do you care so much? Oh, black people use it too. Like,
[01:03:55] this is reinforcing every aspect of our existence, okay? It's reinforcing every aspect of our
[01:04:00] existence. So I am, you know, so fucking woke that I also am understanding of the, the role
[01:04:06] that, that social conditioning plays in teaching a lot of non-black people and even some black
[01:04:12] people as a matter of fact, that like you're just supposed to take it on the fucking chin.
[01:04:17] And you can't say anything about it. An issue I have is the centering of John and the removal
[01:04:22] of the harm, MBJ and Delroy and the situation when they're fully victims here too. There's
[01:04:25] a lot of old, poor baby going on. And I think John's getting a lot of undue hate,
[01:04:28] But this mirrors a lot of what we see in society about how black people are expected to suck up slur users in all different regards. Exactly.
[01:04:37] Exactly.
[01:04:40] Like, both parties could have been wronged in this situation, you know what I mean? Like, what, that's it.
[01:04:48] You're kind of telling the disabled person to do the same though, taking on the chin and apologizing for how you were born.
[01:04:52] There is a social function of living it. There's a social price of living in fucking society.
[01:05:06] And there it is. It is obviously up to the individual to do the, you know, to do their
[01:05:14] due diligence if they choose to do so. But it's fucking crazy to just be like, you
[01:05:20] You know, there's like, I'm not saying he needs to like constantly be on the fucking defensive running around and being like, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, but there are certain things that even if they are inadvertent are going to cause harm.
[01:05:35] Do you not want to fucking address it?
[01:05:37] Hello.
[01:05:42] If someone accidentally hits you due to a tick,
[01:05:43] they would I'm sure pauses for accidentally hitting you.
[01:05:45] So I don't know why the confusion and apologies being okay.
[01:05:47] Honestly, I think it's because it touches on the subject
[01:05:52] of disability discourse where it's like,
[01:05:54] you're not supposed to fucking apologize
[01:05:55] for every little thing that's outside of your control.
[01:05:58] And when I say be normal, for example,
[01:06:01] that's like an inherently ableist fucking take.
[01:06:04] Like what is normal?
[01:06:05] Why are disabled people supposed to be invisible
[01:06:08] or expected to hide their disability all the time
[01:06:13] and like the additional burden of having to live
[01:06:21] with a disability, especially one that is a social one
[01:06:24] like this, it causes people to get frustrated about that.
[01:06:38] Anyway, there's a difference between apologizing for disability and apologizing for the effects
[01:06:47] it has on others.
[01:06:48] I'm a wheelchair user.
[01:06:49] If I run someone over, run with someone's foot over, I'd apologize even though it's
[01:06:53] much harder for me to navigate small spaces.
[01:06:55] Exactly.
[01:06:56] Exactly.
[01:06:57] Yeah.
[01:06:58] What is this?
[01:06:59] What kind of specific type of individual is that?
[01:07:07] What is this?
[01:07:08] It's okay to say that a person should be okay with being called a slur and received no apology
[01:07:10] for it, even if they don't, even if they understand the context, makes no sense to ask for grace
[01:07:14] while dismissing people heard and embarrassed.
[01:07:15] It takes a specific type of individual to get offended by a product of an involuntary
[01:07:18] tick.
[01:07:19] Which, uh, what?
[01:07:20] Which contents the person swearing specifically fears this like steams is improperly.
[01:07:24] So yes.
[01:07:27] What is this?
[01:07:34] this is okay to apologize. Sweet Anita does it all the time. Sometimes even before the
[01:07:41] take happens, ignorant chatters have no idea. Yeah. Would you not agree? Just be normal.
[01:07:46] Apply to Davidson in his disability. No. When I say just be normal, it applies to me saying
[01:07:51] be normal about like a person with ticks and not be like a fucking weirdo about it. But
[01:07:56] that also doesn't mean that like in order to exist in a normal social function, even
[01:08:02] even if you inadvertently caused harm to someone that you shouldn't fucking apologize for it.
[01:08:06] That's my point, okay?
[01:08:11] Anyway, this is the perfectly crafted woke trolley problem pitting the social model of
[01:08:26] disability against entering BIPOC voices and concerns that some of the FBI would concoct
[01:08:30] in a Quantico laboratory? Oh, for sure. 100%. It is, it is a perfect woke trolley problem.
[01:08:39] Straight up. It's like a, it's like an LSAT. It's like an LSAT question is designed as
[01:08:46] like a, is this not like an LSAT question, but for woke is crazy.
[01:09:00] But like I said, there's also black disabled people that exist.
[01:09:08] If Chad is expecting apology from micro aggressions in this situation should be no different.
[01:09:11] Yeah.
[01:09:12] I mean, I'm much more, you know, you know, my opinions on that.
[01:09:17] Right.
[01:09:18] I think there's also like, guys, my point is there's also a, a, a, an expectation
[01:09:27] like hopefully a mutual understanding of like the function of social conditioning, right?
[01:09:34] The role that social conditioning plays in developing blindspot privilege for every single
[01:09:39] individual in society. So when you're trying to like have a normal conversation with a
[01:09:43] person and they say something, right? And it rubs you the wrong way. Like you don't
[01:09:49] always, you don't always have to address it. I certainly don't. There's a lot of
[01:09:54] shit that people say about, you know, Muslims or, or, you know, being from Turkey or whatever
[01:09:59] the fuck, uh, in, in normal conversations. And I, I just kind of, I just, uh, you just
[01:10:08] learn to eat it sometimes. Okay. But it's not for every single thing. If someone were
[01:10:12] to be like, you're a fucking terrorist, that's different, right? The M word is the,
[01:10:19] the mother of all bombs, okay, of all slur bombs, okay? It's like the peak. It's the maximum one.
[01:10:31] So it is situational. It is contextual. And I think ironically enough, it's never
[01:10:38] situational or contextual when it comes to the internet. But also here is a little bit of irony.
[01:10:43] John Davidson did an interview with Big John about his tick throwing out the N word and how
[01:10:46] Now people interpret him as being racist.
[01:10:48] Something, my text will shout the end word.
[01:10:51] That can get you in trouble.
[01:10:53] People misunderstand that, and they see it as being racist.
[01:10:56] And it's one thing, I ain't racist.
[01:10:58] You just can't control what's coming out of your...
[01:11:01] It also doesn't help that they kind of look this way, you know what I mean?
[01:11:05] I mean, big John Bush, he's tough, he's woke, he's my woke king.
[01:11:10] I believe this man, but it's hard to not.
[01:11:13] hard to assume that a man that looks like this is just dropping the N word with a hard
[01:11:17] R and then, you know, people are like, you know what I mean? It's not his fault that
[01:11:23] he looks like a thumb. Okay.
[01:11:25] So what is supposed to not be said? Yeah, type thing, you know, something. I don't
[01:11:33] know. I'm not down with locked him away discourse. Lock them away. What the fuck
[01:11:36] are you talking about what are our people just being like courting them off that's crazy what the fuck
[01:12:00] what wait is that the Bosch do the elite restaurant order yeah Bosch
[01:12:06] Anyway, there's people in the chat believe you shouldn't be able to attend events.
[01:12:14] That's crazy.
[01:12:15] They were like, oh, if you have Tourette's, you should go to a camp where you are concentrated.
[01:12:24] I like that every part, this is like the hit Larry and Horseshoe, where on the one hand
[01:12:30] people are like, well, you know, black people, they should be in a concentration camp.
[01:12:35] And then on the other hand, people are like, you know, disabled people, they should be
[01:12:39] in a concentration camp.
[01:12:41] And the synthesis of that is Adolf Hitler, who thought the same about both of these groups.
[01:12:45] You know what I mean?
[01:12:48] I like that.
[01:12:49] I like that.
[01:12:50] That's like the current discourse, uh, when it reaches, it's like maximum, uh, it's,
[01:12:54] it's maximalist conclusion is just like, well, someone's gotta go to a concentration
[01:12:58] camp.
[01:12:59] You know what I mean?
[01:13:00] What are we doing?
[01:13:01] Like, are we not putting anybody in the camps?
[01:13:03] Like, what's happening here?
[01:13:05] That's why the only real opinion is that this is a CI operation.
[01:13:11] I mean, I don't think this is a CI operation.
[01:13:12] I think it like, it happened so perfectly.
[01:13:17] Inventing segregation out of first principles, Con Blackman, the M-word is Razum of John
[01:13:23] I was corp has corporate relay lia and can't control the slurs he says he should watch from a separate area.
[01:13:46] Sometimes I consider swapping size and becoming a Hasan clipper because you make it so easy for them.
[01:13:53] It's crazy.
[01:14:01] Yeah, you know.
[01:14:02] Separate but equal.
[01:14:13] That's wild.
[01:14:17] Ugh.
[01:14:23] Oh my god. Okay. Check how many likes the original post has bro. It's just 3.9 K. That's not that good.
[01:14:43] Yeah, that's but for real. This is why why do you need to confront not just white supremacy but our universal supremacist world view.
[01:14:49] you. Yeah, I mean, everyone's got that, not to use a trot sentiment here, but this was probably
[01:14:57] one of his best inventions. Everyone has a little bit of Hitler particles. Like that's just, that's
[01:15:03] just how it is. Everyone's got a little bit of that in them. And it just like kind of comes out
[01:15:08] when you, when you can't like, when you can't comprehend like, things like this are happening
[01:15:16] inadvertently and you know, we, when we get to that point and we decide like, yeah, we
[01:15:23] should cordon off certain segments of society. All of a sudden you're kind of, you're, you're,
[01:15:32] you're kind of broaching that territory, which is crazy.
[01:15:39] Honestly, those flying your freak flag is the best way to fight fascism in class, maybe
[01:15:46] it's good BBC air to so people just talk it out.
[01:15:48] No, no.
[01:15:49] No, because it adds insult.
[01:15:54] It is.
[01:15:58] It literally, it literally makes the insult worse.
[01:16:02] Like it makes the humiliation worse.
[01:16:07] Because like it makes the humiliation for both parties worse if that makes sense. It's like the absolute worst fucking thing
[01:16:19] Why do you hate on this poor dude with Tourette saying something racist
[01:16:24] Okay, calm down dude
[01:16:28] Come on I'm over here talking about like disability advocacy and you just did the absolute worst thing
[01:16:35] And you this is like that are you are you my op like really you want Ethan to farm this shit come on now
[01:16:45] Like I'm trying to have a productive conversation that
[01:16:52] I'm trying to have a productive conversation that basically focuses on
[01:16:56] On on all the communities that are impacted here
[01:17:00] And you just you know you want to farm a fucking quick funny moment
[01:17:05] It's craziness.
[01:17:08] All right, don't be a drama pervert.
[01:17:14] All right, here's what they were able to, I guess, silence a little bit at the BAFTA.
[01:17:20] BUSH!
[01:17:21] Fuck you now!
[01:17:24] For pouring into our film and supporting this with all your heart and soul.
[01:17:27] And lastly, to all those whose parents migrated to obtain a better life for their children,
[01:17:32] children, to the economic migrant, the conflict migrant, those under occupation,
[01:17:36] dictatorship, persecution, and those experiencing genocide.
[01:17:40] You matter, your stories matter more than ever.
[01:17:43] Your dreams are an act of resistance to those watching at home.
[01:17:47] Archive your loved ones.
[01:17:48] Archive your stories yesterday, today and forever for Nigeria, for London,
[01:17:52] the Congo, Sudan, Free Palestine.
[01:17:54] Thank you.
[01:17:58] So he said that, but then they took it out.
[01:18:01] I guess they take it out of the main video. Is that what it was? They edited the free
[01:18:06] Palestine side of it in Britain's big night to celebrate art and culture with world's
[01:18:11] mixed in with the Hollywood elite.
[01:18:15] Great take.
[01:18:16] Aftertastic 64 as a black person absolutely bothers the shit out of me that the BBC
[01:18:19] was willing to censor free Palestine, but allowed a slur to pass with a two hour delay
[01:18:22] that's evidence of the media hierarchy, which groups deserve more protection than
[01:18:25] others. It makes me question if they did this shit on purpose to foster the discourse.
[01:18:29] Yeah, so no that that's exactly what I was saying earlier like the real the real racism here is
[01:18:36] Is is at the systemic level, right when you have a media institution that doesn't take that out
[01:18:45] Whether it's a blind side for them, which I think there's imp. It's impossible for this to be a fucking blind side
[01:18:50] Let's be real. Holy shit
[01:18:52] But that is the actual moment of racism. The moment of racism isn't coming from
[01:18:57] the guy with a disability who is like maybe for some sinister purpose saying the N word with
[01:19:05] the hard R, which is like what a lot of people were trying to... The real racism is crazy.
[01:19:11] What is the literal N word? Yes, yes. I'm saying this sincerely. I'm saying this sincerely.
[01:19:16] Like it's not the person who has this specific disability that is actually doing this as
[01:19:24] a racist act.
[01:19:26] The racism actually stems from the fact that the BBC didn't cut it out.
[01:19:29] The racism stems from the fact that the BBC in Bapda did not even approach the actors
[01:19:36] after the fact to be like, I am really sorry that that happened just so you know, you
[01:19:41] know, this is a person with a medical condition, like it wasn't on purpose, right? Like there
[01:19:51] was no intervention at any point. The other side of it also comes from the fact that,
[01:19:59] you know, the expectation as a black person is that you just eat it, right? You just
[01:20:04] eat it. You can't feel some type of way about it. Okay? It doesn't matter. No matter, no matter
[01:20:12] what point you reach in society, you work hard. This is a white take. Wait, what? How
[01:20:18] is this a white take? I disagree. He had the N word in his vocabulary. Do you live
[01:20:24] on this planet? Do you fucking live on planet Mars, or do you live on this one?
[01:20:31] Do you speak the English language?
[01:20:33] Do you think that this person is never going to hear the word?
[01:20:38] Hello?
[01:20:40] I'm not saying you shouldn't feel some type of way about it, but you're fucking crazy if
[01:20:46] you think like, oh, well, I can't believe this guy encountered the N word at some point
[01:20:52] in his life and knows that it is a horrible thing to say, and his involuntary tick happens
[01:21:02] to be saying the maximum bad thing you can say in that moment.
[01:21:11] It's not a white take at all.
[01:21:14] fuck what you think every person that has heard the n-word, like every person that has
[01:21:23] heard the n-word is automatically, they have it in their vocabulary. So every single person
[01:21:28] has it in their vocabulary. Like what kind of question is this? What kind of statement
[01:21:31] is this? Yeah, like when you say it, when I read it, even if I don't say it out loud,
[01:21:39] I'm still reading it in my mind. I guess I'm being a white supremacist in that
[01:21:42] moment like what the fuck please what if a black person had it as a tick these
[01:21:50] guys would explode thinking about that no I already showed you a black person with
[01:21:53] a black content creator with the with the same exact take she described it
[01:21:59] But yeah, the actual anti-blackness, in my opinion, is the expectation that especially
[01:22:15] a lot of white people have, a lot of non-black people have, and even some black people have
[01:22:18] this expectation as well, that like, black figures are supposed to sit there and take
[01:22:25] it and not get offended and not feel some type of way about hearing this dehumanizing slur
[01:22:36] that they've heard their whole lives. A slur that isn't just a bad word, by the way. It
[01:22:42] is a reminder, and I'm not doing this for the black people in my chat, okay? You already
[01:22:48] know this shit, so just calm down before you fucking yell at me. This is for the
[01:22:53] the white audience and the non-black audience, this isn't just a bad word, okay? It's not
[01:23:00] just a bad word. The reason why it's not just a bad word is because it is a reminder
[01:23:04] of the systemic discrimination, the death, destruction, rape, pillage, and a justification
[01:23:14] for a non-human status for an entire racial group. It is specifically designed to dehumanize
[01:23:21] black people and its modern usage is not only to remind black people of their racial pecking
[01:23:30] order, but it's also basically to remind them that racial pecking order still exists.
[01:23:36] That racial hierarchy still exists because a lot of these systemic issues have not been
[01:23:41] properly fucking addressed.
[01:23:43] That's the reason why there's a difference between saying a lot of other different
[01:23:48] slurs that that broach into like inappropriate territory or personally
[01:23:53] discriminatory territory but doesn't have that same impact. That's also the
[01:23:57] reason why nobody bats an eye if you say cracker and only the silliest people on
[01:24:03] the internet get offended by it or if they fake get offended by it right and
[01:24:07] say this is anti-white discrimination as opposed to the n-word. Okay are you
[01:24:16] You're saying black people are a lower tier of human?
[01:24:18] What the fuck?
[01:24:19] What?
[01:24:20] Come on man, I'm trying to have a fucking serious conversation.
[01:24:25] Like do you really feel like this is a good opportunity for you to make jokes like this?
[01:24:29] Fuck off.
[01:24:31] Okay.
[01:24:32] Yeah, good, good rage bait dude.
[01:24:34] Good rage bait.
[01:24:39] Anyway.
[01:24:42] Stop baiting.
[01:24:46] This is a white-ass chat and the fact that you didn't have the cities in 2026 is why your black audience is so small
[01:24:54] Oh, God. Okay. This is the other this is the woke version of the rage baiting
[01:24:59] Shut up shut up shut up. Yes is the white-ass chat. Yes. What do you mean? It's a white-ass world like we live in the Western world
[01:25:07] It's it's white. It's white supremacist. What do you want me to fucking do?
[01:25:10] Not try to educate people to the best of my ability with the fuck stop being obnoxious and annoying
[01:25:15] Okay, especially in the moment where I'm fucking describing it
[01:25:21] What the hell
[01:25:25] Instead is my in controversy this morning the BBC
[01:25:28] Apologizing to BAFTA viewers after several obscene outbursts from Tourette's activist John Davidson were heard on a broadcast
[01:25:35] Davidson is the inspiration for the movie
[01:25:37] I swear which was nominated for six awards and took home the leading actor BAFTA
[01:25:41] He was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome at the age of 12.
[01:25:44] It's a neurological condition that can cause involuntary movements and vocal tics,
[01:25:48] sometimes involving outbursts of inappropriate language.
[01:25:51] One such outburst heard on the broadcast was while Sinister's Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage.
[01:25:57] Delroy and I are delighted to be presenting the first BAFTA of the night for a vital part of movie making.
[01:26:03] A racial slur could be heard while the men presented the award for best visual effects.
[01:26:07] Jordan and Lindo looked startled but continued on.
[01:26:10] host Alan Cumming, later asking the audience for their understanding.
[01:26:14] You may have heard some strong and offensive language tonight.
[01:26:17] Tourette's syndrome is a disability and the ticks you've heard tonight are involuntary,
[01:26:21] which means the person who has Tourette's syndrome has no control over their language.
[01:26:24] We apologise if you were offended.
[01:26:27] So the big question this morning, why did these outbursts remain on the broadcast
[01:26:31] when other parts of the event were cut?
[01:26:33] Like the words of one award winner who said free Palestine,
[01:26:36] especially when you think that there was a two hour delay on this broadcast.
[01:26:40] That's, I'm just saying, kind of feels like, kind of feels like they got the capacity to
[01:26:52] chop shit up.
[01:26:54] I'm just saying, kind of feels like they saw that and were like, keep that shit in.
[01:26:59] Keep that shit in.
[01:27:00] That's good.
[01:27:01] That's good stuff.
[01:27:03] But other things were not allowed.
[01:27:08] interesting how interesting wow that's what I mean when I say this is the real
[01:27:25] racist part of the of the equation okay that's crazy that's fucking crazy they
[01:27:34] should have done a role reversal where if someone say free pass line should not
[01:27:37] be edited out, because it's not offensive at all, okay? What the fuck? And the n-words
[01:27:46] should have been edited out of the final broadcast. That's crazy. Do you see the real racism question
[01:28:00] Yeah, like as in the actual deliberate act of engaging in a white supremacist expression
[01:28:11] is not the individual inadvertently saying a slur, even though no matter how you say it,
[01:28:18] it's still very clearly going to have an impact such as that.
[01:28:22] And therefore it's totally warranted to feel offended or to feel humiliated in
[01:28:27] that moment, having said that the actual deliberate act or the lack of investment in dealing with
[01:28:37] this, the lack of interest in dealing with this comes from identifiable white supremacist
[01:28:43] attitudes.
[01:28:46] The tick is involuntary.
[01:28:55] It's such a sad state of affairs. It's like a humiliating, humiliating incident. The funniest
[01:29:01] part is, this is my take too. Yeah, but chatters are going to fucking get their licks in no
[01:29:06] matter what, you know what I mean? It's just how it is. It's fine. As you guys know, I'm,
[01:29:14] you know, I'm the, I'm the top, the white supremacists on this platform that Asma
[01:29:18] Gold also exists on. So that's the reason why I'm doing it. Is blackish remote
[01:29:25] that happens. Yeah. Yeah, fuck, we'll be seeing bath. Yeah, I mean, it's insane. If you consider
[01:29:40] if you had a higher PSL, if you had a higher PSL, it could have been true Adam with a halo
[01:29:44] effect and avoided the massive social cortisol spike. That is something that I have thought
[01:29:48] about as well. I like that we're now calling this guy who is, is, who had like his, his
[01:29:54] very worst like nightmare happen in real time in a very public way. Uh, now we're calling
[01:30:02] him ugly. Okay.
[01:30:05] The BBC has this morning issued a statement apologizing that Davidson's comments were not
[01:30:14] edited out ahead of the broadcast and they say they will now be cut from the online version
[01:30:19] and on streaming. You've got to feel for Davidson. He must have been very embarrassed
[01:30:23] by all this. He left the event. It's thought early, halfway through. It's thought, guys.
[01:30:28] Yeah, the BBC hit a card there. And he left on his own. He wasn't asked to leave, but
[01:30:32] he knew it was best to leave. But you had so much time to head it out, those remarks.
[01:30:37] And the guy had handled it well. That and stays kept, kept on with it. They're
[01:30:41] okay.
[01:30:42] This night in the British movie business, broadcast on the BBC with a two hour delay.
[01:30:48] Time enough in theory for the broadcaster to edit out any offensive language.
[01:30:53] Good evening and welcome to the EEVAPTA Film Awards 2026.
[01:30:58] And whilst some cuts were made, not this.
[01:31:02] When the stars of Sinners Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo came up.
[01:31:06] Maybe don't invite the guy who involted us up regional slurs.
[01:31:09] Come on, come on, that's crazy.
[01:31:10] And Sean the Black is right.
[01:31:11] I disagree. He has a right to be there. We should strive for accommodation. That's crazy. Come on, dude
[01:31:16] Yeah, we should cordon them off
[01:31:19] We should cordon the disabled off
[01:31:23] We should put him somewhere else
[01:31:25] You know, oh
[01:31:27] You can't hear no accommodations necessary for you if you're deaf, you know, yeah, fuck it
[01:31:34] What what is happening? Yeah, we should ball gag him. It's that's nasty man. That's a nasty
[01:31:40] That's it. That's a nasty fucking approach. How do you not recognize that? That's crazy. What if it was a loved one?
[01:31:46] What if it was you think about it that way?
[01:31:52] Ironically the ableism and the anti-black discourse here literally stems from the same
[01:31:58] Fundamental lack of understanding that we have in our hearts all of us have this
[01:32:03] It's you can't see yourself as a as a black person on the receiving end of the n-word
[01:32:09] Okay, so you don't get it and you're like what the fuck's the big deal suck it up
[01:32:13] Dude, it's just a word and you also can't see yourself
[01:32:17] Being a disabled person who is going through that who's going through that in that moment
[01:32:21] So you go, oh dude, just don't fucking show up, bro. What the fuck?
[01:32:29] Just put them in a put them in the utility closet. What the fuck it's like god damn, dude
[01:32:34] Dude, just be a little bit more open-minded, please,
[01:32:37] to every single person involved.
[01:32:47] Adolf will say both sides in this case.
[01:32:48] Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
[01:32:49] It's like,
[01:32:52] someone's gotta go to the camp's mentality.
[01:32:54] You know what I mean?
[01:32:59] It's almost gotta go.
[01:33:00] I mean, I don't know.
[01:33:01] We got put somebody in there.
[01:33:02] What the fuck?
[01:33:04] Anyway, on stage to present the night's first award, the N-word which we have beat was shouted
[01:33:23] out.
[01:33:24] We're presenting the first BAFTA of the night for a vital part of movie making.
[01:33:30] We're here to...
[01:33:31] Shocked they were praised for carrying on lindo later telling vanity fair. He wished someone from Bach. So we said the m-word and we still got a sympathize with them a
[01:33:41] little bit I
[01:33:43] Mean kind of like you you shouldn't be I'm not saying sympathize with them. I guess but like
[01:33:50] Or I guess I am saying that a little bit. Yeah, like this is the one time where it's like kind of I mean
[01:33:56] This is the one time where it's not his fault, you know
[01:33:58] It's a little bit complicated, it's a little bit more complicated than that, right?
[01:34:05] He's not, it genuinely stems from, it genuinely stems from thinking that he's doing it for
[01:34:11] some sinister purpose.
[01:34:13] That's the problem.
[01:34:14] And I kind of, I kind of understand why you think that because you've probably experienced
[01:34:18] that.
[01:34:19] If you are black, I don't know if you are, because it says Max the Arab here, maybe
[01:34:23] you're black and Arab, but it does come from this common experience of white people routinely
[01:34:36] trying to use any opportunity they can to fucking disparage and undermine black people.
[01:34:41] If you don't want to sympathize, focus your anger on the system that didn't protect the
[01:34:44] actors after the fact, then that aired it exactly.
[01:34:48] exactly. I'm so sorry this take gravitated to that word. Oh my God. This is why I spent
[01:34:57] a good deal of time explaining the, the, this is why I spent the first half of the broadcast
[01:35:03] explaining what this is. You know, it's, yeah, he's not, you are speaking from ignorance.
[01:35:15] If you don't understand subconscious thoughts and how someone with Tourette's has to live with everyday worry
[01:35:19] They might take something bad in which turn makes it more likely they might do so
[01:35:24] Imagine having to live with a fear that you might hurt someone unintentionally completely out of your control
[01:35:28] Yeah, I mean that's like the whole point of the movie ironically enough is is how he is
[01:35:33] Literally having to deal with that on a day on a daily basis like literally having to deal with that on a fucking daily basis
[01:35:39] That's his whole life and that's what the movie is about
[01:35:42] That's why he was in the room. They didn't bring him in the room to be like, ha ha. This is the guy who will definitely say the n-word
[01:35:49] They brought him into the room because he was also being celebrated
[01:35:55] Because there was a movie made about his life called I swear that's the reason why he's there
[01:36:03] Like
[01:36:05] Anyway, but once again, just as though I will duke it out with chatters who don't understand
[01:36:18] why an apology is warranted or why these actors felt how they felt, I will also try to explain,
[01:36:29] i'm i'm not disabled right and i'm not black
[01:36:34] but i have the capacity to understand to the best of my ability
[01:36:38] the the the lived experience looks like
[01:36:42] you know i can't i'm i'm never going to fully grasp it
[01:36:49] i'm i am uh... sympathetic to both parties involved here
[01:36:55] and Lebanese, if that makes sense. I think people really need to make a clear distinction between
[01:37:03] disability general and terrestrial and corporal, uh, copper, lalia, specific and crucially
[01:37:08] those conversations. So it's not, if you are disabled, you get a pass to the M word. Yeah, I mean,
[01:37:12] obviously not. Black woman, take what you do, who you are and what you have are three different
[01:37:22] things. What you can slash should take responsibility. Apologize for what you do. Love and accept who
[01:37:27] you are and give yourself grace for what you have. But also, apologies don't take time
[01:37:30] over damn life. Forgive yourself so that apologies are easier on you and quicker to deliver
[01:37:34] with meaning. Don't be obtuse. Be curious. Blame the BBC. Yeah.
[01:37:39] But yeah, the person, the person that was saying that wasn't like, you know, sneaking
[01:37:46] that in is my is my point right like they're not it's it's not within their
[01:37:53] control that's kind of the whole thing I promise you I'm not doing this I have I
[01:37:58] know it's tough for you to come in here and see a white man say this right because
[01:38:04] you've probably seen many people that look like me constantly go it's just
[01:38:08] the word why why so mad I'm not doing that okay I don't give that any fucking
[01:38:14] daylight anytime of day whatsoever. I'm simply explaining that this is the one instance where
[01:38:24] it's quite literally the disability. Like it is the reason for why he said it. Like,
[01:38:37] it's such a wild state of affairs and I totally understand why it's like tough to comprehend
[01:38:42] because you have experienced people who have lied about it or have tried to find
[01:38:48] reasoning for or justifications for why it's appropriate to say it
[01:38:54] and while it's always inappropriate this is the one instance where it's like
[01:38:58] contextually while still inappropriate
[01:39:01] is is not
[01:39:03] malicious
[01:39:07] to have spoken to them afterwards
[01:39:10] The slow was shouted by John Davidson, seen here on the right, a campaigner who has Tourette's.
[01:39:16] It's a conditioned character.
[01:39:17] Did you get someone knowledgeable on disability? How are people being really ignorant about it?
[01:39:20] I did. I already had in the beginning, I started this conversation by showing you a black content creator
[01:39:27] who has this specific disability, who gave her thoughts on it.
[01:39:31] Eyes by sudden and involuntary tics, which can include socially unacceptable words and swearing.
[01:39:37] Hello, hello.
[01:39:39] He was at the BAFTAs after his life story inspired the film, I swear.
[01:39:43] I was born away, I did not imagine anybody could pretend to have Tourette's as an actor.
[01:39:51] Robert Aramao from I swear.
[01:39:54] It led to a dramatic and surprise win for its star, Robert Aramao, for Best Actor,
[01:39:59] who appealed for understanding about the condition.
[01:40:02] Tonight, especially, I just want to say that for people living with Tourette's,
[01:40:06] It was around them that helped define what their experience is.
[01:40:11] So to quote the phone, they need support and understanding.
[01:40:14] Thank you so much for this. It means the world to me.
[01:40:17] I can't believe it.
[01:40:18] But whilst there has been much support and understanding for John Davidson,
[01:40:22] many still have questions for the BBC.
[01:40:24] We understand that it's involuntary and actually this is a great learning moment
[01:40:30] for the Thorex community and learning more.
[01:40:34] Guys, the BBC used all of their editing juice on editing out Free Palestine.
[01:40:38] Sorry. Sorry. We had all of our editors working around the clock from Tel Aviv, making sure that
[01:40:47] no one said anything remotely bad about the genocidal state that is known for having an apartheid.
[01:40:54] We just could not have a moment wasted. So apologies for everyone involved. We just had
[01:41:01] one edit that we could do, and we wasted it on the other black artist who was talking about
[01:41:12] his experience on stage, coming from immigrant background, for example, where he likened that
[01:41:19] shared mutual understanding of fighting against colonial violence to saying, free Palestine.
[01:41:26] we had to use all the all of the editing juices on that
[01:41:30] okay we were working tirelessly to make sure
[01:41:34] there was not a single moment that people heard the words free in palestine
[01:41:39] next to one another so we just didn't have any editing juices left
[01:41:43] to to fucking edit the the and words
[01:41:46] uh... that were slung
[01:41:49] all about what they go through
[01:41:51] but like i said two things to be true at the same time
[01:41:54] We can still be offended by what happened and we can still feel unprotected if you don't do anything to censor it.
[01:42:01] So you feel the BBC was too slow to react because the program wasn't edited in its state?
[01:42:06] They were too slow to react. They deliberately did not react because they have the capability of reacting.
[01:42:12] They reacted. They reacted on the Free Palestine Statement.
[01:42:16] They straight up were like either going, who cares? This is not that bad.
[01:42:21] Or, which again is still an expression of, you know, white supremacist value systems,
[01:42:30] right? Because when you hear that and you don't think, oh, we should cut this out immediately,
[01:42:35] this is like very fucked up, you are still inadvertently continuing the same white supremacist
[01:42:43] systems and constructs. However, there's also a even more cynical approach, which is,
[01:42:50] Oh, this is good content
[01:42:54] I don't know if they went with in either direction it's still the same it still comes from uh the the same
[01:43:02] You know it still comes from the same place of of uh lack of care
[01:43:07] for black people
[01:43:10] But uh, I think
[01:43:13] No, fuck it. You know, I maybe maybe they did it on purpose
[01:43:16] I'm in the camp. They did it to humiliate the black actors, but I'm cynical. So I don't know. Yeah
[01:43:21] I think they they just they wanted the content they were like, oh, this will be this will be great for the fucking discourse. Yeah
[01:43:27] fucking hell
[01:43:36] Yeah, you don't the iPlayer for some 12 or so
[01:43:41] I'll go do Willie in it
[01:43:46] Would that have been edited out?
[01:43:48] If it was a swear word that he had shouted out?
[01:43:51] Would that have been edited out?
[01:43:52] I think it would have.
[01:43:53] Akinola Davis Jr. and Wally Davis.
[01:43:56] In fact, other remarks were edited out from the BAFTAs.
[01:44:00] When filmmakers Wally Davis and Akinola Davis Jr.
[01:44:03] won the award for Outstanding British Debut,
[01:44:06] these words about Palestine were cut from the broadcast.
[01:44:09] For Nigeria, for London, the Congo, Sudan,
[01:44:11] free Palestine, thank you.
[01:44:13] The BBC didn't respond to our specific questions,
[01:44:16] gave us this statement. Some viewers may have heard strong and offensive language during
[01:44:20] the BAFTA Film Awards. This arose from involuntary verbal tics associated with Tourette's syndrome,
[01:44:26] and as explained during the ceremony, it wasn't intentional. We apologize that this wasn't
[01:44:31] edited out prior to broadcast, and it will now be removed from the version on BBC iPlayer.
[01:44:38] John Davidson said this evening, I've spent my life trying to support and empower
[01:44:42] the Tourette's community. I'm deeply mortified if anyone considers my involuntary tics to be intentional.
[01:44:50] If you haven't seen this yet, get ready, grab the tea and crumpets because this is,
[01:44:54] you want to talk about loser media clip potentially of the year and it's only what, February?
[01:45:01] Did you hear? Oh, we got another, oh, we got another racism in it very, and I mean, it's,
[01:45:06] I don't even think Gavin Newsom was like being raises when he said this, but
[01:45:10] Republicans are absolutely fucking dumping on it.
[01:45:16] Yeah, one type of bigotry to save the other is too risky. So the BBC definitely left that in,
[01:45:19] so they could have Alan coming make a point. And they could have a viral moment about how
[01:45:23] the British were so understanding. They thought it would be a safe controversy,
[01:45:26] but Palestine is too risky. So they cut that. Yeah, I agree.
[01:45:28] Um, yeah, so, you know, my, my white ass is, uh, uh, doing this on black history month,
[01:45:40] uh, and, you know, I'm bad.
[01:45:43] So get it out of the way, get it out of the way, two black discourses in one day.
[01:45:48] Okay.
[01:45:49] So, so as you guys know, I'm not the biggest fan of black history.
[01:45:58] big gap, right? I think that's, that's known at this point, right? People know, um, not
[01:46:05] the biggest fan of big gap at all for a bunch of different reasons, right? This is not one
[01:46:13] of them. This is not one of them at all. As a matter of fact, I mean, it's a, it's
[01:46:18] a bad look in general, but this is ironically a moment where he thinks he's being human.
[01:46:27] Gavin Newsom is in Atlanta, Georgia, and he's speaking to a crowd as he's on his book tour, right?
[01:46:37] And the crowd is black. It's Atlanta, Georgia.
[01:46:44] Gavin Newsom on his book tour has been trying to convince people that he is just like you.
[01:46:56] Okay?
[01:46:57] He's just like you.
[01:47:03] He's an everyman.
[01:47:04] He's a regular guy.
[01:47:07] He got 960 on the SAT.
[01:47:12] those of you who are tuning in from not America, that's a very low score, like a very low score.
[01:47:17] So he's talking about his, his upbringing and the trials and tribulations and, you know,
[01:47:25] he just keeps telling people in these masses, in these crowds that he is fucking stupid.
[01:47:35] I don't know how else to describe it.
[01:47:36] He literally just keeps saying, I'm dumb just like you.
[01:47:41] I'm a stupid guy just like you.
[01:47:42] Now of course, I don't personally think that's like a very good approach to the issue at all.
[01:47:50] I don't know why he's trying to become relatable by being like, I'm a fucking, I'm a dumb guy,
[01:47:54] bro.
[01:47:56] I'm a dumb guy, bro.
[01:47:57] I'm really dumb, just like you.
[01:48:01] And he's been saying it, and he's been saying it in front of every crowd, but this time
[01:48:05] the crowd he's saying it in front of happens to be black and of course the Republicans
[01:48:10] are cynically using this to be like, see, he's, ha, law, it's a twofer.
[01:48:16] For the Republicans, for the conservatives, for the reactionaries, they get to have double
[01:48:20] the enjoyment out of this because on the one hand they get to say black people are stupid
[01:48:24] and on the other hand they're saying, see Gavin Newsom is saying black people are stupid.
[01:48:31] Let's take a look at the video and then we'll discuss the way that people are approaching
[01:48:36] it.
[01:48:37] You know, I'm not trying to impress you, I'm just trying to impress upon you, I'm like you,
[01:48:44] I'm no better than you. You know, I'm a 960 SAT guy.
[01:48:51] And you know, and I'm not trying to offend anyone, you know, trying to act all there if you got 940.
[01:48:59] It's also very brandonized too.
[01:49:01] And I feel like while he's delivering this in the back of his mind, he might have had
[01:49:07] a brief moment where like this might not look good.
[01:49:12] This is a brandonian moment.
[01:49:13] This is Brandanistan.
[01:49:15] We thought we were living in Mamedanistan.
[01:49:18] We're not living in Mamedanistan.
[01:49:19] We're living in Brandanistan.
[01:49:21] This is full branded.
[01:49:23] And this motherfucker's like, what, 60?
[01:49:26] He should not be brandanizing this early.
[01:49:29] What the hell is going on?
[01:49:30] And here he is, being Brandon, for the rest of time, we are stuck in a perpetual brandonization,
[01:49:41] one Brandon after another, okay?
[01:49:44] No matter who wins the election, they will have to brandonize.
[01:49:48] I have realized this now.
[01:49:49] I'm just saying it.
[01:49:51] He is going to go full Brandon.
[01:49:54] This is just our future, the more, the closer you are to Brandon, the better your
[01:49:58] chances are at winning the presidency. He is pulling a corn pop. It's an infinite Brandon
[01:50:06] time loop. Donald Trump won after Brandon, right? 2020 Brandon wins. He Brandonizes pretty
[01:50:13] aggressively. 2024 Trump wins. He is more Brandon than Brandon is. Let's go Brandon.
[01:50:24] Your goddamn fire alarm keeps making me think it's mine. Okay. We're going to fix it. It
[01:50:29] just started. Okay. Time is a flat circle as I was saying.
[01:50:33] So literally a nine 60 SAT guy, I cannot, you, you've never seen me read a speech because
[01:50:42] I cannot read a speech. Maybe the wrong business to be in.
[01:50:48] So I've already heard him say this, by the way, I've already heard him say these words
[01:50:58] so it didn't like shock me that he said that in this room as well, right?
[01:51:03] But of course, Sean Hannity and all these other guys are like Gavin Newsom thinks a
[01:51:07] 960 SAT makes him like black Americans.
[01:51:10] Let that sink in.
[01:51:12] Now, this is a fantastic opportunity for me to shit on Gavin Newsom, okay?
[01:51:27] It really is.
[01:51:28] And it's taking up a lot of my mental faculties not to use this to just like really go see
[01:51:35] what now liberals, but like, he said this over and over again.
[01:51:41] I think it just more so is an indication that he doesn't know how to make himself look like
[01:51:48] a normal human and not this alien figure that was placed on God's green earth to one day
[01:51:56] become president.
[01:51:59] That's what I think.
[01:52:00] I think it's not like he wasn't trying to imply that black people are stupid or he
[01:52:09] He wasn't trying to say specifically that black people are bad at the SATs or anything
[01:52:15] like that.
[01:52:17] He just thinks all Americans are stupid.
[01:52:23] He just thinks, he thinks all Americans are dumb and there is, there's decent reasons
[01:52:31] to feel that way.
[01:52:35] He's not totally wrong to think that, but he wasn't like directing this at black people
[01:52:41] in general.
[01:52:42] Here's a video.
[01:52:43] I've now spoken to several people who were there.
[01:52:46] Everyone confirms that there were only a handful of black people there, but if you didn't
[01:52:48] see the room, why did you publicly declare that he was talking to black voters?
[01:52:51] Because it's Atlanta.
[01:52:53] And that's the reason why they're saying this.
[01:52:54] And also because they want to shit-star.
[01:52:56] They want to say like Gavin Newsom is a racist.
[01:52:58] And if you want to say Gavin Newsom is a racist, there are probably plenty of
[01:53:01] better ways to do that.
[01:53:04] like, you know, he's, he's, he's a white man in power. It doesn't take much for you to,
[01:53:13] to figure out what some of his areas of interest have been that have disproportionately targeted
[01:53:19] black people, you know what I mean? But these guys don't want to do that. They don't want
[01:53:22] to like think about systemic racism because their job is to, to never identify that
[01:53:28] their job is to act like systemic racism isn't a real thing.
[01:53:31] Right. I don't know. I thought this was raises as hell. Why are you sucking Newsom now?
[01:53:36] Why have you accepted him as a Democratic nominee and now defending him every day?
[01:53:40] It's because I'm I got the I got the check
[01:53:50] That's not what he said putting direct close here is dishonesty left out words and context almost as if you just cut and paste it with
[01:53:55] The right wing blobs blogs are saying about
[01:53:57] this without actually watching video or yourself please do yourself a favor and
[01:54:01] watch the video so Gavin Newsom thinks that because he's a dumbass and scored
[01:54:05] less than a thousand the SAT that he can relate to the block experience that's
[01:54:08] what he said to a room of black and brown people the city of Atlanta Georgia
[01:54:12] just this past weekend and this man said this with a straight face it
[01:54:17] because he scored a 960 in the SAT he was just like me oh brother shut the
[01:54:26] Fuck up!
[01:54:29] For the record, this is CJ Pearson. He is a right-wing Republican content creator.
[01:54:37] I didn't say it. Nice bathroom is black. He said hairline opinion discarded. I'm just I didn't say it. I'm highlighting
[01:54:43] I'm giving room to black voices. I'm listening to black voices. Nice bathroom is black. He's the one
[01:54:50] He's who said hairline opinion discard. I would never I would never I didn't even notice it. I
[01:54:57] Didn't even realize he was by I'm colorblind
[01:55:03] Anyway
[01:55:05] They only do the shit to the left let it happen since this Gavin
[01:55:08] I know they they love doing this shit to the left they love
[01:55:12] The Democrats love doing this shit to the left
[01:55:15] cynically all the fucking time and a lot of people who are gonna go out to the
[01:55:20] friend Gavin Newsom today, also are some of the people who love throwing that out there
[01:55:26] in a cynical fashion, okay? Like a goddamn grenade.
[01:55:31] Well, Gavin, let me tell you something. I didn't score a 960 on the SATS score. It's crazy to
[01:55:38] be a guy who says, I love Donald Trump. Donald Trump is not racist. Donald Trump literally
[01:55:44] He calls every black legislator low IQ like every single one every single one and this
[01:55:53] motherfucker has the audacity to turn around and be like I mean he did he did the fucking
[01:55:59] Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are apes thing like not that long ago.
[01:56:03] It was like it was not even a fucking month ago and these guys have to come out and
[01:56:08] be like yeah you know the real racism here is Gavin Newsom trying to relate to every
[01:56:14] American by saying, I'm stupid. It hasn't even been two weeks.
[01:56:23] They got higher than that in the SAT. And by the way, a lack of
[01:56:27] academic performance or the ability to excel within school
[01:56:30] doesn't make you black. But what it does do, if you think
[01:56:33] that that does make you black, is that it makes you a racist,
[01:56:37] right? So it's so funny to me that the Democrats, while
[01:56:39] they've known longer where those white hooded robes that
[01:56:42] the KKK would run around and as they tear up, find a way to remind us.
[01:56:47] And bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro.
[01:56:50] Oh my God, shut the fuck up.
[01:56:53] Yo, who is this for, dude?
[01:56:56] Who is this for?
[01:56:57] I mean, I know who this is for is for the white Republicans.
[01:57:02] Yeah, that's right, brother.
[01:57:04] They are the Klansmen.
[01:57:05] But also, even though I'm currently a Klansman, I think they're the real Klansmen.
[01:57:12] I might now listen. This articulate urban style individual that I would definitely lock my door
[01:57:21] around is a bright young feller. Okay. Let me tell you. This is one of them good ones.
[01:57:34] Like that's the audience for this commentary. Okay. Straight up. The audience for this commentary is
[01:57:40] That guy who has never felt safe around black people, even black people that share the same
[01:57:50] opinion as him is over here being like, yeah, that fellow, young fellow's got a good, he's
[01:57:56] got a good future ahead of him.
[01:57:58] Okay.
[01:57:59] Unlike the rest of the urban style individuals I encounter on a daily basis, he is so articulate.
[01:58:05] It's big and small, that they did used to wear those robes.
[01:58:09] Apparently, Gavin Newsom's heart still wears that robe because he thinks that being a
[01:58:14] You work for the white griff, should the fuck go clown, you look at Twitch's censor and those
[01:58:17] black chatters in here or we would really be roasting his ass? Yeah, I mean, you can't
[01:58:22] because Twitch will ban you for saying certain things.
[01:58:24] God makes you black. Gavin, you are disgusting in every which way and this moment from this
[01:58:31] day will haunt you for a time long to come.
[01:58:35] No, it won't. No, it won't. It will 100% not. No, no.
[01:58:44] Is it what he's saying is woke? Yes, Republicans are the greatest purveyors of woke. Hello,
[01:58:50] understand that Republicans love weaponizing woke.
[01:58:54] Reactionaries in general, people to our right love weaponizing woke to us, okay?
[01:59:01] Gavin Newsom is objectively a, you know, let's say center left, maybe center right, not center
[01:59:07] left, center or center right figure.
[01:59:10] This guy is far right.
[01:59:11] Of course he's going to weaponize woke against them.
[01:59:14] Just like people who are center right or people who are centrist or center left love using
[01:59:20] woke against people like myself and others that are further the left than the average
[01:59:26] person is.
[01:59:27] Okay.
[01:59:28] It doesn't, it doesn't work.
[01:59:30] so stupid. I mean, we've experienced, for the last week, we've experienced a version of this
[01:59:41] over and over again, this like sinister deployment of standpoint epistemology in an effort to defend
[01:59:45] American imperialism specifically in Cuba, right? Oh, all of the blockades and the
[01:59:52] invasion and the assassination attempts and the constant crippling of this island
[01:59:56] And for the crime of gaining sovereignty is not the real reason why Cuba is suffering.
[02:00:05] It's actually because the Cuban regime is a dictatorship and it's communist and it's scary.
[02:00:11] And I'm a Cuban woman.
[02:00:13] And if I say this, you have to listen to me, right?
[02:00:21] You have to listen to me.
[02:00:23] Everyone's like, oh, shut up, white baby.
[02:00:26] And Miami Cuban is speaking, right?
[02:00:29] Listen to the Cubans.
[02:00:30] No, no, no, not the Cubans on the island
[02:00:32] that are impacted from the embargo, from the sanctions,
[02:00:36] from America intercepting oil shipments going to the island.
[02:00:40] Listen to the Miami Cubans who want to blow up the island.
[02:00:46] It's stupid.
[02:00:48] OK, make up your own damn mind.
[02:00:53] just asking why you don't cover Ukraine not even for a bit but everything else you
[02:00:57] do I do cover Ukraine but there is a lot of other stuff happening as well
[02:01:10] are you planning to cover the bipartisan effort this man section 230 will
[02:01:13] will out of the Detroit leftist internet end to end. Yes.
[02:01:17] So,
[02:01:23] so Mark Lamont Hill says that's not what he said. Putting direct
[02:01:25] quotes here is dishonest. You left out the words and context
[02:01:28] and Mark, just like myself, is not exactly fond of Gavin
[02:01:31] Newsom.
[02:01:33] We are however fond of the truth.
[02:01:36] So even if it's a advantageous for me to lean into this
[02:01:39] shit
[02:01:40] And be like, see what now liberals?
[02:01:46] I'm not going to do that. Having said that, it is, it is funny that all of the same liberals that were saying like I'm anti black, I'm, you know, I don't care about immigrants or whatever that absolutely would cynically attack me in the same exact fucking way are also defending Gavin Newsom now because a more right wing figure has now attacked
[02:02:07] to have a new some
[02:02:17] how strange it is to faint outrage about reasonable hurling racial epithets against me for the
[02:02:20] record i don't support gavin new some
[02:02:22] i'm not even a democrat i just happen to have watched the video before commenting that
[02:02:26] said i have no desire to send an insult back your way
[02:02:28] i'll treat you with civility despite how you're engaging me i only ask that you
[02:02:32] watch the actual interview before drawing conclusion. I mean, Mark is my goat. I love
[02:02:40] him. He's a legend. He is a much more civil person than me. I'll be honest. So you're
[02:02:54] saying that Newsom is just elitist in classes on races in this instance. I mean, I think
[02:02:58] he is the latest, I think he's classes and probably races too, but this in, this instance
[02:03:03] doesn't imply that he is being, he, he, the intention here is not him, uh, uh, being racist
[02:03:10] at all. Like not even a little bit.
[02:03:17] When you've lost Nikki Minaj says a Fox news commentator, his way of bonding with black
[02:03:22] people is to tell him how stupid he is and then he can't read. This means my first
[02:03:25] read on him was correct. He's been handed so many things. Oh my God. Oh God. I hope
[02:03:30] this is a moment of recognition for a lot of liberals who cynically deploy this kind
[02:03:35] of identity politics against people like us because it's fucking bullshit. And you know,
[02:03:40] you're doing bullshit. They're doing it to you now. They're doing it to your guy.
[02:03:44] So I hope this is a moment of fucking self awareness. Okay. It won't be. I know, I
[02:03:49] it won't be, but it's fucking annoying!
[02:04:19] It's rotisserie chicken time I'll put the heat lamp on don't worry
[02:04:40] Well, you can't go from that guy to Nikki and it's been a 15 minutes. I can't deal with
[02:04:49] this. Do you want to know the craziest part of this footage that will haunt him forever?
[02:04:53] He's literally slowing his speech down and talking to sporadic cadence. He's not just
[02:04:57] telling them that they're all probably stupid and probably can't read. He's literally
[02:05:01] slowing down his speech to make them understand the words that are coming out of his mouth
[02:05:05] as if they're children. That means he literally believes they're slow. He's not just saying
[02:05:08] and he didn't misspeak, he believes it. Do you love it? Do you just love it? Black people?
[02:05:13] Also, them. Nicki Minaj is black. Why is she using them when talking about black people?
[02:05:20] Like all the black people, not just the black people in that room, but just like black
[02:05:22] people in general, right? Interesting. I don't know if this is a chat, GPT writing
[02:05:27] or if he wrote it herself. I don't think she wrote it herself. I'll be honest.
[02:05:34] something interesting that I noticed in the, in the way that she's talking here.
[02:05:43] Some that, some that happens when you become a Republican. What is this?
[02:05:48] Nicki Minaj social media propped up by thousands of bots analysis finds.
[02:05:53] Yeah, I'm surprising.
[02:05:55] There are so many legitimate reasons that this like Gavin Newsom but don't fall for fake news
[02:06:06] Newsom was talking to a roomful of white people he never mentioned black people he was talking
[02:06:10] about as dyslexia and he made the same exact comment to a white interviewer yeah exactly
[02:06:16] exactly this is just his like shtick okay this is his like way of saying I'm just like
[02:06:21] you, I'm, I have a fucking terrible SCT score. Like that's it. He's not, he's not saying this
[02:06:27] specifically to like black people in general. This was his, uh, retort back to Sean Hannity,
[02:06:33] who, uh, you know, put the, the entire, um, who put it like a three minute and 27 a second
[02:06:42] compilation. This will be like the driving main driver of discourse on the, on the
[02:06:46] right-wing circuit for the next two days probably. We should ban any adult who brings up their
[02:06:58] SAT score, though. I agree. To which he responded when Sean Hannity was like, Gavin Newsom thinks
[02:07:07] 960 SAT makes him like black Americans. You didn't give a shit about the president
[02:07:12] of the United States of America posting an eighth video of the president, the former
[02:07:15] President Obama and calling African nation shitholes, but you're gonna call me racist
[02:07:18] for talking about my lifelong struggle dyslexia spare me the fucking outrage Sean
[02:07:24] brother this this time to grieve just say if you have fucking Gavin Newsom did mean it to be
[02:07:30] raised anything prevented from being a invisible candidate in 2028 no I'm not gonna do that I
[02:07:34] don't need to do that my the commitment that the commitment that I have
[02:07:42] have is to the truth. Okay. It's, it's ridiculous. I don't think, I don't think I need to do this
[02:07:50] at all. I'm not going to do this. But I hope it's a, it's a wonderful opportunity for a
[02:07:56] lot of people who cynically deploy this kind of this exact same kind of like cynical, cynical
[02:08:02] ass identity policies. Every single liberal content creator that is right now defending
[02:08:10] Gavin Newsom, straight up did this to me for the past week. Okay? For the past week, they
[02:08:18] were clipping shit out of context to be like, see, but son hates black people. Hey, if you're
[02:08:23] black, don't listen to him, you know? And now they're turning around and, you know,
[02:08:33] opening up their minds, I guess, to the possibilities that someone can be clipped
[02:08:36] that of context. Anyway, after years of trudging through the
[02:08:55] cesspit that is Twitter, where comments from right wing posts and debates calling us black
[02:08:58] people low IQ and genetically inferior, I find it very difficult to square this current
[02:09:01] wave of sudden regard for racism against black people, which is very clearly a political
[02:09:04] Trojan horse. Yeah. I mean, it's not even a successful one to be fair. Okay. It's not
[02:09:12] even a successful one. It's just like, it's not going to be successful. People are not
[02:09:16] going to think like, Oh, well, Gavin Newsom is a white supremacist because of this, right?
[02:09:25] You're right about the brandingization. This media cycle reminds me of the Biden media
[02:09:27] cycle on poor kids are just as bright as white kids. Yeah. Well, with Brandon, there's
[02:09:32] at least a lot more that you can point to to showcase that he is actually not exactly a fan of
[02:09:39] black people, right? We're talking about the architect of the crime bill, which liberals
[02:09:43] aggressively defended for the record. We're talking about a guy who eulogized Strom Thurmond,
[02:09:49] a white supremacist, Strom Thurmond, a guy who actually wrote legislation alongside Strom Thurmond
[02:09:56] that was horrifying for black Americans. Okay? Like that to me is a way better indication of
[02:10:05] someone's, you know, racial animus than this. Oh, my God. Oh, we're gonna talk about the discourse
[02:10:21] around the, you know, Gaza was a big part of the reason why Kamala Harris lost already.
[02:10:28] We talked about it yesterday with the Axios reporting coming out yesterday. I gave my
[02:10:31] thoughts on it as a moment of indication, obviously for all the people that have been
[02:10:36] saying this leading up to the election and certainly post the electoral defeat. But
[02:10:42] There's a certain karmic irony in watching news and get eaten up by the very right-wing
[02:10:52] disinformation machine.
[02:10:53] He struts so hard to platform and appease.
[02:10:55] Yeah, bro, they lie, yep.
[02:10:58] It's true.
[02:11:02] It's true.
[02:11:04] Did he talk about Canaanalans saying Israelis are Turks? Oh my God, is she doing the Khazar
[02:11:14] theory? She's leveling up. Is she saying that Jews are actually Khazar Turks that converted
[02:11:23] to Judaism? Is that, is that's what she's saying? Respect. Respect. That's, that's
[02:11:31] why she's the goat. Okay. That's why she's at the, at the tippy top of this commentary
[02:11:36] sphere. And I'm just a fucking, I'm a loby. Okay. That's why Clint is always keeps winning.
[02:11:49] And we're fucking out here duking it out with people who are cynically telling everyone
[02:11:55] Hassan is an anti-Semite
[02:11:57] Hassan is a anti-black racist
[02:11:59] All this shit you haven't seen this yet get ready grab the tea and crumpets because this is you want to talk about
[02:12:06] Loser media fucking goat is back. Can we get a bro?
[02:12:12] The fucking king of pod is back baby nobody does it like Dan ain't nobody doesn't like that boss
[02:12:21] You know that's my fucking goat
[02:12:25] He was done with that boring bullshit defending pedophiles at the highest level of the Department
[02:12:37] of Justice, okay?
[02:12:39] Deputy Director of the FBI, bullshit.
[02:12:42] He's back where he belongs, behind a microphone.
[02:12:47] Potentially of the year, and it's only, what, February?
[02:12:49] Did you hear this clip of Gavin Newsom?
[02:12:51] He's talking to a largely black audience.
[02:12:53] This isn't no fake racist Donald Trump.
[02:12:56] This sounds like real racist stuff.
[02:12:57] I'm just trying to impress upon you.
[02:12:59] This isn't fake racism like Donald Trump, where he says every black person is low IQ, African
[02:13:04] countries are actually shit holes that we don't want black migration, that Haitians
[02:13:09] are eating cats and dogs, or being prosecuted by the federal government for refusing
[02:13:16] to fucking rent properties to black people, taking a fucking full, full page out of
[02:13:22] New York Times demanding the execution of the falsely smeared Central Park Five teenagers.
[02:13:29] This isn't about all of the different ways in which Donald Trump has fomented anti-black
[02:13:35] racism. Obviously all of that is fake. All of that is fake. This on the other hand, this
[02:13:41] is the real racism. Yeah, depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. None of that
[02:13:47] fake racism, but the real racism, you know, I'm like you. I'm no better than you. You know,
[02:13:56] I'm a 960 sat guy, and I'm not trying to offend anyone, you know, trying to act all there. If you
[02:14:02] got 940, but literally a 960 sat guy, I cannot, you've never seen me read a speech because I
[02:14:11] I cannot read a speech.
[02:14:13] Maybe the wrong business to be in.
[02:14:15] Ha ha.
[02:14:17] Definitely sounds pretty bad.
[02:14:18] What are you talking about?
[02:14:19] We just watched him.
[02:14:21] I guess it sounds bad if you haven't watched him
[02:14:25] deliver this exact same speech like three other times,
[02:14:29] right?
[02:14:29] He did this with Dana Bash when he was,
[02:14:33] this is a part of his book where
[02:14:35] he's trying to present himself as like a normal guy.
[02:14:37] I'm just like you.
[02:14:38] You know, I had my own trials.
[02:14:40] I'm dyslexic.
[02:14:41] I can't read, I'm illiterate.
[02:14:42] Okay.
[02:14:45] It sounds bad of you assume only black people live in Atlanta.
[02:14:49] I mean, there is definitely probably more black people
[02:14:51] in that crowd than Gavin Newsom will ever have, right?
[02:14:55] Is Atlanta, and even though most of the people
[02:15:02] that fuck with Gavin, big Gav are white people,
[02:15:05] I'm sure there were more black people in that crowd
[02:15:07] he ever will he will ever sit in front of right but it doesn't matter like he's not saying it because
[02:15:15] there's black people in the room he's not he's not saying that to like identify himself with like
[02:15:21] black people because he has this like hidden notion that like black people are illiterate or whatever
[02:15:26] he's just saying that because he thinks this is a this is a way to appear personable
[02:15:31] to all Americans. So in any case, I'm a real hater, okay? I'm a hater for good reason. I'm
[02:15:48] I'm not going to hate on someone for bad reasons. Okay.
[02:15:56] No, you, you, you're right here.
[02:16:01] You're right. He was not broken. If you're listening on Apple or Spotify.
[02:16:07] I don't know. I don't even, I don't even know how to really respond to that.
[02:16:11] God, he's the best dude. That's why he's the best. Look at that reaction.
[02:16:16] We have so much to learn from Dan Boncino. I have so much to learn. I yearn to be like Dan one day
[02:16:24] Okay, he's the fucking goat
[02:16:28] That's my guy. This would ordinarily be the end of the political career of
[02:16:33] Anyone else if they you live on the planet Dan
[02:16:36] Do you live in the United States of America in the year 2020 cities of our holy lord?
[02:16:41] What the fuck are you talking about none of this is career ending?
[02:16:44] Even from a Democratic Party side, you saw Joe Brandon run around and be like, if you
[02:16:49] want to vote for me, you ain't Black Jack.
[02:16:52] And then he won that election.
[02:16:54] The fuck are you talking about?
[02:16:56] This doesn't even reach that level.
[02:16:59] Oh, it's so awesome.
[02:17:01] We're on any other party affiliation other than Democrat talking to a group of Black
[02:17:07] voters and saying like, I'm dumb like you guys or something.
[02:17:12] This isn't.
[02:17:13] were the deputy director of the FBI big dog you saw that the government is
[02:17:16] currently run by elite pedophiles what the fuck are you talking about why would
[02:17:21] this be a career ender like what are you saying it's certainly not a career
[02:17:29] ender for a Republican anyway yeah this probably takes the cake this is one
[02:17:32] of my favorite races and moments from Donald Trump say that when we have a
[02:17:37] protester inside which isn't even very often I say be very gentle please don't
[02:17:43] hurt him we had a case where we had an African-American guy who was a fan of
[02:17:48] mine great fan great guy in fact I yeah the person he's talking about is Michael
[02:17:54] the black man one of my favorite Trump characters in the Trump extended
[02:17:58] universe here he points to him want to find out what's going on with him you
[02:18:04] You know what I'm, look at my African American over here.
[02:18:07] Look at him.
[02:18:08] Are you the greatest?
[02:18:09] You know what I'm talking about?
[02:18:11] Okay.
[02:18:13] That was Donald Trump.
[02:18:18] This was when he was woke.
[02:18:21] Yeah.
[02:18:22] As Michael the black man, he's pointing to.
[02:18:28] Don't out me how Hassan refers to his black mods as well.
[02:18:32] come on, man. It's true though. I do do that, put it in private. Oh, unlike Terrence Havres,
[02:18:48] Hasan does not let his mods say it. Anyway, yeah, that was, I mean, that's like a, like
[02:18:59] a funny moment, whatever it doesn't matter. Like I said, the, what, what is more consequential
[02:19:03] is what you do in position, in a position of power. Okay. If you're, you know, if you're
[02:19:07] like a slumlord, for example, and you refuse to run out to black people so much so that
[02:19:11] it actually ends up with a federal investigation, I feel like that's, that's far more consequential.
[02:19:19] And I feel like that's a clear indication of like who you are as a person, right?
[02:19:24] An important clip because there's more here than just poking fun at this moron, okay?
[02:19:30] This is the basis of liberal paternalism and that he's not smart like everybody and he says oh my god
[02:19:37] Everyone is chirping everyone
[02:19:41] Is it mere outrage manufacturing is all we get on social media lately
[02:19:46] Speeches were written. He wouldn't be able to do it
[02:19:48] And the only thing he was missing in this video is a hot sauce in his pocket to pull out and say that he carries
[02:19:55] But himself all the time, but that's somebody else's stick Rob go ahead and play this clip go for it
[02:20:01] I'm not trying to impress you. I'm just trying to impress upon you. I'm like you
[02:20:07] I'm no better than you
[02:20:09] You know, I'm a 960 sat guy
[02:20:12] And, you know, and I'm not trying to offend anyone, you know, trying to act all there
[02:20:19] if you got 940.
[02:20:20] Oh, my God.
[02:20:21] Literally a 960 SAT guy.
[02:20:26] I cannot, you've never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech.
[02:20:35] Maybe the wrong business to do.
[02:20:39] What is he talking about?
[02:20:41] Can we in this room everybody wherever you're doing at your heart? What is this? What is this? Everyone is like
[02:20:48] I'm so offended like shut the fuck up
[02:20:52] Shut up. What is this fake bullshit? Why can't anybody be fucking normal?
[02:20:57] Why can't anybody be like come on dude? What the fuck are we doing? God? I hate it. Everyone is doing theater
[02:21:04] Everyone is just fucking milking. They're milking maga turn woke overnight. Oh my god
[02:21:10] Like what the fuck is this?
[02:21:15] It's just like fake outrage. It's such fake fucking outrage
[02:21:20] God, it's so fucking annoying. I I hate it personally. I think it's like it's so lame
[02:21:27] It's so fucking lame dude
[02:21:30] This is the guy that is offended
[02:21:33] Governor Newsom, thank you for being on the podcast
[02:21:35] I'm really excited to be here with both of you.
[02:21:38] So hopefully we'll just knock this one out of the park.
[02:21:40] So you're the governor of one of the biggest, most diverse
[02:21:43] states in the nation.
[02:21:44] How do you handle that kind of pressure?
[02:21:47] I'll tell you, dawg, I think it came from my upbringing.
[02:21:50] You know what I'm saying?
[02:21:51] Being from the streets just made me really hardcore.
[02:21:54] You feel me?
[02:21:54] You guys feel me?
[02:21:55] I thought you were from Marin County.
[02:21:56] That's one of the richest neighborhoods in California.
[02:21:58] I mean, yeah, you're right.
[02:21:59] But my area was really, really tough.
[02:22:01] Do you feel me?
[02:22:03] I had to teach myself to be a man.
[02:22:04] My pops dipped out early.
[02:22:06] I know y'all can relate to that, right?
[02:22:08] No, my dad never left.
[02:22:11] You didn't mind, neither.
[02:22:13] Right.
[02:22:13] Right, but you know, it was hard.
[02:22:14] You know what I'm saying?
[02:22:15] Like, my mom's is working all day.
[02:22:17] You know what I mean?
[02:22:18] I'm home.
[02:22:19] You know what I mean?
[02:22:20] No money just sitting there with just stacks of wonder bread.
[02:22:23] You know what I'm saying?
[02:22:24] Just stacks of like mac and cheese.
[02:22:25] Just put that mac and cheese on it.
[02:22:27] Okay, OG Gavin.
[02:22:28] Yeah, that sounds real good.
[02:22:30] Bro, I'm so hood, bro.
[02:22:31] I would just be in the backyard for hours,
[02:22:32] just shoot.
[02:22:34] I don't know if I want to keep watching this because I feel like we are approximately 35
[02:22:51] seconds away from him pulling out a bucket of KFC and and also watermelon. Okay. And
[02:22:57] approximately a minute away from him just straight up doing blackface. I don't want
[02:23:02] to see that unfold. I don't want, when he pulled out the basketball, it's like I think I'm out.
[02:23:09] You know? On that note, sharks, I'm out. Okay, this is too much. Too much. Too much. Legalized
[02:23:20] comedy.
[02:23:21] It's Black History Month. We've been doing too many, we've been covering too many issues
[02:23:29] that pretend to black people. I feel like we don't have to see Italian Steven Crowder
[02:23:36] do this minstrel show. What we got to see through it now. No, it's already cooked. Might as
[02:23:44] well finish it.
[02:23:45] When hoops, you feel me just putting in the work and then my mom would come out, you
[02:23:49] know what I'm saying? She'd be like, Hey, Gavin, dinner's ready. Let me shut your
[02:23:53] white ass up woman. Oh, it's trying to keep her brother down. You feel me? That's
[02:23:57] how they always do these white women.
[02:23:58] I have to ask though, is there any proof that you really about that life?
[02:24:01] Y'all, I'm so happy you asked, dawg.
[02:24:04] Give me some dap, fam.
[02:24:05] California Dreaming, homie.
[02:24:07] I actually brought my childhood journal, you know what I'm saying, just to show y'all
[02:24:11] how hood, how gangster I was because I documented everything, fam.
[02:24:15] Check me out right here.
[02:24:16] In West Marin County, born and raised on the playground was where I spent most of
[02:24:21] my days.
[02:24:22] Chilling out Maxon, relaxing all cool and all shooting some b-ball outside of
[02:24:26] school.
[02:24:27] Isn't that the theme song to Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?
[02:24:30] I don't know who he is, but he sounds like he had a rough-assed life.
[02:24:34] You feel me, dawg?
[02:24:35] You feel me?
[02:24:36] Alright, we're about to wrap this thing up, and uh...
[02:24:38] Angelize comedy!
[02:24:39] Governor, is there anything else you'd like to add?
[02:24:42] Man, you already know what time it is.
[02:24:45] 2028?
[02:24:46] It's Newsome, Nick!
[02:24:49] Dude, what he's doing right now is way more raised.
[02:24:57] than what Gavin did? Yes, because what Gavin was doing wasn't even fucking racist.
[02:25:19] Comedy is when you're impersonating someone and then add racism, they never did. But doing this is not
[02:25:23] not racist because it's legalized comedy. Yeah, that's what it is. That's like
[02:25:37] fucking brilliant, dude. Brilliant. And now he's back to being like,
[02:25:42] while you're in your garage, you're making coffee, doing this. A white man is in Georgia,
[02:25:48] Sitting on stage with a black man who is the mayor, Andre Dickens,
[02:25:53] and he's basically slowing down his speech and saying,
[02:25:56] like, I'm dumb like y'all. Like, I barely passed the SATs because I'm dumb like y'all.
[02:26:06] Do you still have the shot collar? Yeah, but it's on your mom.
[02:26:11] Yeah, I put it on your mom. She loves it. Sorry, we're playing kink. Every time I hit
[02:26:24] that, every time I hit that, he's upstairs coming. W kink positivity. Yeah, you got it.
[02:26:38] Is this a guy you debated? I mean, I don't know if you can call it a debate. Vinny was almost, he almost pulled the ultimate exit move, which is dying on the debate stage.
[02:26:51] I've never had that move pulled on me, I'll be honest. It was interesting.
[02:26:57] Where was I? Where was I? Where was I? What were we talking about? What were we talking about?
[02:27:07] I
[02:27:14] Was gonna be vindicated that baby dumb as hell. What is this?
[02:27:37] Okay. A lot of people in the chat are saying, uh, actually someone did do that move to you.
[02:27:43] They did pull that move on you. His name was Charlie Kirk. And I don't know how to respond
[02:27:48] to that. I, I guess yes. Okay. Well, you got me. That did happen to me one time. It's
[02:27:54] very odd that it happened at all and it almost happened twice, but it happened to
[02:28:00] me one time okay and obviously we honor Charlie Kirk on the broadcast you know before we move
[02:28:26] move on to, before we move on to the British police arresting Epstein linked ex-ambassador
[02:28:37] Mandelson. I want to take some time out to talk about this Gavin Newsom situation, like
[02:28:43] to wrap it up with a nice little bow. And I don't know how to do it because everything
[02:28:52] I feel like it's gotten so much more cynical. Like discourse is never productive nowadays
[02:29:00] and I don't know if I'm one of these guys that's like I don't know if I'm one of these guys is
[02:29:06] like oh why can't we have a normal conversation like I don't know if there's any way to have
[02:29:10] a productive conversation any any longer I feel like we're all just like siloed in our own
[02:29:14] little corners on the internet and constantly whipping each other up to get angry at shit like
[02:29:25] manufacturing outrage and it's it's very very frustrating I don't know how we get out of it
[02:29:35] in general, I'm always going to tell you how I feel, okay?
[02:29:46] Even if it's advantageous for someone like myself to lean into this Gavin Newsom shit,
[02:29:51] I'm obviously not going to do that because it's fucking idiotic.
[02:29:55] If you want to call out Gavin Newsom, there are a million better ways to call out Gavin
[02:30:04] Newsome. This is not one of those instances where he's behaving in a racist way. Even a
[02:30:11] little bit, he just thinks this is his way of trying to come across as relatable, explaining
[02:30:19] his big trials and tribulations throughout his development. Like, oh, you think I grew
[02:30:25] up in a lifetime of privilege, or you think I grew up with a lifetime of privilege, but
[02:30:32] In fact, I also was illiterate or I was dyslexic and, you know, that was really tough for me.
[02:30:37] That's what he's trying to do.
[02:30:39] And to me, I don't think this is relatable, you know?
[02:30:46] Do we have to be careful how we talk about left-leaning people when right-wingers will
[02:30:50] try weaponizing or chrism the Prabhup Vance?
[02:30:53] No.
[02:30:54] No, not at all.
[02:30:56] Because right-wingers never actually fucking say Gavin Newsom is an elitist who just
[02:31:01] wants to be president and he wants power for the sake of having power and that he is going
[02:31:06] to be the same old establishment neoliberal that will defend the interests of the wealthy
[02:31:10] unconditionally and not try to even lean into a left populist sentiment in an effort to advance
[02:31:18] the material interests of the working class. They're not going to say that. They're just
[02:31:22] going to say this dumb shit. You know, they're like, oh, I'm outraged by racism.
[02:31:27] Bro, you work at the racism factory. What are you talking about?
[02:31:31] Like what do you mean you're outraged by this this microaggression of Gavin Newsom?
[02:31:36] You literally put hours at the fucking racism assembly line at the racism factory. What the fuck are you saying?
[02:31:45] It's so fucking annoying
[02:31:48] I wish we could like rise above that and have a normal conversation every now and then especially amongst the stupid fucking liberals, okay?
[02:31:55] Okay? Liberals, I beg of you, please, if you're at least like having a conversation with someone
[02:32:01] to your left flank, stop doing this dumb shit, okay? Stop. It doesn't work in general. You
[02:32:07] just come across as like annoying and smarmy. And everyone, most people can understand that
[02:32:14] you are deliberately weaponizing identity politics to an audience that you perceive
[02:32:20] that you correctly know does care about, uh, you know, not coming across as a offensive
[02:32:27] to marginalized identities. Okay. It's so annoying. It's woke 1.0 bullshit. Okay. I hate
[02:32:35] it would have been far more relatable if you just said I've dyslexia education was a struggle
[02:32:45] for me despite the privileges granted to me by living in a wealthy school district. I
[02:32:48] can only imagine a student like me going through critically underfunded schools. Yes. Also stop
[02:32:53] writing better lines for Gavin Newsom. Let him fucking fail on his own. But you're right.
[02:32:59] That is, you know, that comes from a place of like recognizing your own privilege, probably
[02:33:04] much more real for him to say that. Obviously he's not going to say that because he is
[02:33:09] out of touch and an elitist. So did you watch the full segment is clip chimps that
[02:33:18] to make him seem way worse, it doesn't even come across as bad.
[02:33:21] Away from that, what would you like for the reader to know more intimately about you and
[02:33:25] how those two separate, two separate lives that you had together and the tough decisions
[02:33:31] you made and the risk that you had to take and even growing up with dyslexia and all that,
[02:33:36] like what do you want us to take from that and where you are today?
[02:33:42] like so many folks I put a mask on and my face was starting to grow into it. You know,
[02:33:49] I think Oliver, this is the same. This is it. This is the in the book, too. He said
[02:33:55] this is the Dana Fash as well. Well, it was maybe Oscar Wilde said, you know, the
[02:34:02] first act in life is we all strike a pose. The second act, no one knows. You
[02:34:10] got to figure it out. I'm in the second act. And, and I talk about that, you know,
[02:34:16] I was trying to be someone I was not. Wasn't that I was inauthentic. It just,
[02:34:23] I wasn't who I am. I, you know, sweaty hands, nervous, just bar for bar. Exactly
[02:34:32] what he said to Dana Bash yesterday. Just trying to is today's stream all
[02:34:39] about the American identity circus news? Yes. Put on a facade. And you don't think there's
[02:34:46] utility and dissecting identity politics being fucking maliciously deployed? Like it's not
[02:34:52] pro identity politics. It's like a criticism of how identity policies is used. And I walk
[02:35:01] through that journey and what that gave me, the opportunities of privilege, but what
[02:35:05] also took away and who I was becoming. And my mom saw that she saw those cracks in
[02:35:12] that mask and she challenged me and you know and and and so it's a story about
[02:35:18] resilience redemption it's a story about humility and grace I think it's a
[02:35:24] very human story I'm not trying to be someone I'm not I can't do that anymore
[02:35:29] more. I tried that for a long time and I wasn't happy. I say to kids all the time,
[02:35:36] learn from, don't follow others. You know, your expression is unique. Nobody else
[02:35:41] has it. And I've really just, you know, the way we're doing some of you may have
[02:35:46] seen some of my social media.
[02:35:48] I'm on the other side. You know this. I'm on the other side. I just am. I'm on the other
[02:36:03] side. You know, I don't want a dream of regretting anymore. No coulda woulda shoulda. It's all
[02:36:09] out there. I just want to put it all out there. I'm not trying to impress you. I'm
[02:36:15] just trying to impress upon you. I'm like you. I'm no better than you. You know, I'm a
[02:36:23] 960 SAT guy. And, you know, and I'm not trying to offend anyone, you know, trying to act
[02:36:30] all there if you got 940. But literally a 960 SAT guy, I cannot, you've never seen me
[02:36:40] read a speech because I cannot read a speech.
[02:36:46] Maybe the wrong business to be to take away from that.
[02:36:49] What would you like for the reader to know more intimately about you and how
[02:36:53] those two separate, two separate lives that you had?
[02:37:00] I'm charmed really.
[02:37:02] So I had to perform Phillip Friday night and the guy in the front row was
[02:37:05] awesome. I've had Adam scoffed it in for that law.
[02:37:08] Fucking hater, dude.
[02:37:10] Is this the first time people have seen a positive run for obviously Trump made people
[02:37:16] forget or something this very common stump speech pattern?
[02:37:20] Yes.
[02:37:21] That's it.
[02:37:22] I mean, he is trying so hard to come across as though he is relatable, as though he's
[02:37:39] like a relatable guy.
[02:37:40] Not just own it who gives a fuck you have a different lane like I'm not giving him
[02:37:45] Uh, I don't want to give him any like ideas. I don't want to give him any fucking good pointers here
[02:37:50] But like everybody knows who you are brother
[02:37:54] It oozes from every orifice
[02:37:56] Okay, you walk into a room people fucking know who you are you walk into a room people know exactly what your lived experience looks like
[02:38:04] It's so fucking annoying because people always do the shit to me where they're like this on you hide that you come from an
[02:38:09] half-luen background it's like no I don't why would I it's fucking idiotic
[02:38:16] People can see who I am I see no reason to like hide it. I see no reason to fucking lie about it. I
[02:38:24] Think it plays a role in my development. Okay
[02:38:32] It's just it's just silly
[02:38:36] It plays a role in who I am today
[02:38:39] That lived experience. There is no reason to try and like be phony about it and be like, oh, dude
[02:38:45] Like imagine if I was always like man, I went through so much adversity growing up
[02:38:51] rich in Turkey
[02:38:53] Because I was fat and
[02:38:56] I couldn't fit in at all. My life was so tough
[02:39:00] My bitches were too bad my steak too juicy my lobster too buttery
[02:39:05] free
[02:39:07] you know
[02:39:08] this is how your haters think you toggle them out i know
[02:39:11] it's so fucking stupid
[02:39:16] it's so dumb
[02:39:19] yeah i was discriminated for being tall
[02:39:25] you really didn't have bitches brother
[02:39:28] Why do you have to bring that up right now, it's just, I mean it's true but like you shouldn't
[02:39:39] have, you don't need to say that, okay?
[02:39:44] You don't need to, you don't need to say that.
[02:39:49] Drawn ones maybe?
[02:39:53] I feel like I've made the mistake of oversharing my lived experience.
[02:39:57] Perhaps a little too much, bro was drawn boobs on DeviantArt.
[02:40:01] You think he was going on dates?
[02:40:12] Can we, we don't need to do that.
[02:40:16] We don't need to do that right now in this moment.
[02:40:18] Okay.
[02:40:18] The point is not you play with action figures until you were 14.
[02:40:23] I
[02:40:42] Enough I
[02:40:49] Overcame those
[02:40:53] Anyway, you are folding on the soundboard policy trying to appease the shames influential
[02:41:05] life and joy special interest group it shows that you are in the pocket of big fun and
[02:41:09] that's true.
[02:41:10] I am in the pocket of big fun, okay.
[02:41:20] So for real, we all know you're playing with those one piece figurines before bed. I mean, I have no shame whatsoever
[02:41:25] I would tell you if I did I wish I still had that childlike wonderment. I'm gonna be honest
[02:41:30] I genuinely do think that I was a better person when I was a kid and
[02:41:36] And like enjoyed life more and I wish I still got that same
[02:41:42] I wish I still
[02:41:45] I'm 34 now. I'm about to be 35 in July. I
[02:41:48] I wish I still could enjoy playing with toys and shit like it would legitimately be awesome
[02:41:58] Let's go being a kid Lam out. Yeah, I killed the fun in me a
[02:42:04] Long long time ago. May gosh like you with obesity again to protect our women
[02:42:10] Okay, calm down dude calm down
[02:42:18] Were you a big, were you a big Lego guy? No. I was a big like action figure guy though.
[02:42:25] I loved playing with action figures. I don't got it either. Can't get in the Christmas
[02:42:34] beard or nothing. Yeah. So anyway, the point I was making is that like this is this kind
[02:42:43] discourse is unhealthy, unproductive, idiotic in general and I do hope that this is a learning
[02:42:49] moment for some of the shitty libs that will cynically deploy this kind of stuff towards
[02:42:54] me as well or towards people like me, people that are on their left, people who do care
[02:42:59] about, you know, people who do care about tackling white supremacy, especially in society
[02:43:06] where most people don't.
[02:43:07] fucked up
[02:43:21] hope that i hope is a learning the eyes is obvious any normal human
[02:43:27] it's obvious any normal human again in new some was doing his
[02:43:31] uh... classic i'm a normal guy stick that he's been deploying during his book
[02:43:35] tour it's unsuccessful
[02:43:37] But I hope this is a learning moment for lips in my right on how dumb this cynical weaponization of it Paul looks.
[02:43:49] How dumb the cynical weaponization of it Paul actually looks like.
[02:43:54] Is that, is that a good sense. My brain is not working.
[02:44:00] Crusty as new level characters, assassination plays. Yeah.
[02:44:07] you have teenage mutant Ninja Turtles TV show in Turkestan. Yeah, it wasn't my favorite
[02:44:23] though. All right, speaking of like, incredibly dumb bottom of the fucking barrel commentary.
[02:44:35] We're back with the main character of everyone's lives, Nick Shirley.
[02:44:40] And Nick Shirley's been up and down the beautiful state of California, trying to make the same
[02:44:46] exact dumb content that he's been making to limited success.
[02:44:57] This time, it's incredibly fucking, it's even dumber than the last time.
[02:45:02] Here, let's watch what Nick Shirley had to say and maybe you'll be able to spot it out
[02:45:07] in real time.
[02:45:08] Maybe you'll be able to spot out why he's lying in real time.
[02:45:10] They're in California at this UPS store in San Diego.
[02:45:14] Fantastic that he's also sponsored by Poly Market.
[02:45:18] Over 30 people are registered to vote as this is their primary residence.
[02:45:23] It's all right to have...
[02:45:24] Can you see?
[02:45:25] Can you see something here?
[02:45:28] This is the location we receive a ballot, but you can't have it as your primary
[02:45:31] residents and all these people do right here. For instance, this lady right here,
[02:45:36] Gloria, she's a hundred years old and she voted in the 2024 election. In fact, the
[02:45:42] large majority of these people voted in the 2024 election and some of these
[02:45:45] people even have the exact same PO boxes. I don't think too many people can
[02:45:50] live inside of a PO box. And what's concerning about this is right now
[02:45:54] in the poly market Gavin Newsom is also setting the stage to become the next
[02:45:57] Democrat. Oh, it's a poly market ad. Oh my God. I'm Brian kill me. I'm Brian kill me.
[02:46:07] I'm Brian kill me. I hate everything. Oh my God. Oh my God. The tweet you linked is
[02:46:15] an opening for me. Oh, he I think he deleted it. As soon as I quote retweeted that
[02:46:27] person deleted it. Damn. Damn. Okay, I'll delete it too then. Fuck it. It's a good tweet.
[02:46:43] I'm a need for the 2028 election. Meanwhile, there's massive voter fraud taking place. You
[02:46:48] actually need an ID to vote here inside of California. And like I said, over 30 people
[02:46:54] are registered to vote inside this UPS store alone.
[02:47:00] You can literally see it in the video dude. The UPS store is part of the Kensington Commons
[02:47:06] mixed use development. The 30 registered voters are registered to homes that are also part of the
[02:47:09] complex. Mixed use properties are very common in major cities like San Diego. You can literally
[02:47:16] see it in the video by the way it's fucking insane that this dumbass this
[02:47:24] dumbass try to do the most obvious lie of all time most obvious fucking lie of
[02:47:29] all time and he didn't even do us the dignity of hiding the fact that the UPS
[02:47:34] store is right on time like right underneath a goddamn fucking residence
[02:47:39] dude 71,000 likes by the way yeah this detective forgot to look up a
[02:47:45] little how how is this like we cannot we we have to do something about the the
[02:47:55] level of intelligence in this fucking country I'm sorry this is unsustainable
[02:48:00] he's not even he's not even trying man he's not even fucking trying it blows
[02:48:11] my mind that this is the level of effort he's putting into it.
[02:48:27] Click away is the rage bait gambling ad?
[02:48:29] Yeah, the fact that it's also a gambling ad is adding insult to injury as well.
[02:48:37] This is one of the cases where I think he is trying really, really hard.
[02:48:40] No, I mean, I guess you're not wrong. I guess he's that fucking stupid. I don't get it
[02:48:48] He literally went to a
[02:48:51] Residential complex that's mixed use that has residential apartments on top of the UPS store
[02:48:58] And he acted like there were 30 people that registered to vote in one UPS store like it's fake like these people are actually
[02:49:05] actually not real, they're not real voters that live in that apartment complex.
[02:49:18] I think education should be one of our primary place to focus on no matter how
[02:49:21] much advocacy we do if people are too dumb, it don't matter.
[02:49:24] I think it's gonna be impossible to fix it.
[02:49:35] I think we're cooked I've delivered to customers and you pay stores like that the customers registered to the addresses to those stores I
[02:49:52] Don't I just I don't know what else to say about this shit
[02:50:05] I
[02:50:15] Family members who believe this video. Oh my god. Oh my god, that's devastating. All right, let's do some good news now
[02:50:21] Let's do some good news. I
[02:50:25] Can't believe I'm about to say this but
[02:50:28] We're now gonna go to the United Kingdom for some good news, which is unexpected
[02:50:33] The fallout from the Epstein files has sent another shockwave through the British establishment.
[02:50:40] Former ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct
[02:50:45] in public office.
[02:50:46] He is seen here being led away by police from his home in North London.
[02:50:50] Police previously searched two properties linked to Mandelson in Wiltshire and North
[02:50:55] London earlier in February over suggestions that he passed market sensitive government
[02:51:00] information to the convicted sex offender, Geoffrey Epstein. Let's take you live to London.
[02:51:05] Al Jazeera's Charlie Angela is in Westminster. What more can you tell us, Charlie, about the arrest?
[02:51:15] Yes, well, everyone here in the UK is probably now seeing those pictures of Mandelson being
[02:51:20] led away from his central London home by police. The property was being staked out
[02:51:27] by a news outlet who seems to have got lucky. So it comes after police carried out searches
[02:51:33] on two properties belonging to Mandelson looking as you say for documents relating to allegations
[02:51:40] that Mandelson passed on sensitive information that could have moved. Yeah. This is the exact
[02:51:47] same hit that Prince Andrew former Prince Andrew got. It's not about the pedophilia,
[02:51:54] Obviously, should be obvious to all who are paying close attention to the story, but it's more so about
[02:52:01] them giving state secrets to Jeffrey Epstein. Okay. That's literally as soon as Prince Andrew was
[02:52:12] arrested, detained and called in for questioning, and the charges were about revealing state
[02:52:18] seekers in a state capacity. Um, I said back then that it was going to be about Peter Mendelsohn
[02:52:24] as well, because Peter Mendelsohn is also, has also done the exact same shit that, uh,
[02:52:30] Prince Andrew has done. So it's the same charges. This is a good thing. I feel, I feel
[02:52:42] like this is more of, um, like an Al Capone style situation where he's not busted for
[02:52:46] like racketeering, but, or being a mob boss, but instead for, you know, tax evasion. And
[02:52:53] I guess the British government is doing that as well.
[02:52:56] Markets to his friend, Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted pedophile in 2009. Now this is
[02:53:02] when Mandelson was at the heart of the labor government under Tony Blair at a time when
[02:53:08] governments were looking to, to bail out. He would have been in discussions with
[02:53:12] European counterparts as well. And it looks like documents would have been seized during
[02:53:18] those searches, and that might now be what the arrest has been based on. Now, Madison
[02:53:24] has denied any wrongdoing, and he has expressed his regret for his close friendship with Jeffrey
[02:53:30] Epstein, but his fall from grace has been absolutely-
[02:53:33] Selling state seers isn't exactly tax evasion. No, the reason why I'm using the Al Capone
[02:53:37] example is because Al Capone was obviously a criminal, but they busted him for anything
[02:53:42] they possibly could, which was tax evasion. Mendelssohn and Andrew are obviously directly
[02:53:51] affiliated with a very famous pedophile and potentially engaged in pedophilia themselves.
[02:53:56] With Prince Andrew, we have a lot more information on that obviously than we do for Mendelssohn,
[02:54:01] but they're getting them not on the pedophilia charges, but instead on the state secret
[02:54:06] charges. Now, of course, the state secret charges in this circumstance are actually pretty
[02:54:10] aggressive because if found guilty, Mendelssohn could receive life in prison.
[02:54:17] So this is really good. It's hard to look at this and just like try to cast it away. I mean it's trees in and they should be prosecuted for this.
[02:54:35] So, justice is being served in this regard if they follow through on this, okay?
[02:54:43] So, I'm in favor of this, and it's fantastic that this is happening. Shout out to the UK.
[02:54:51] I didn't know you knew ball like that. UK Apology Form. UK Apology Form. I thought the country was
[02:54:59] was run by nonces. I thought the country liked being used as a come sleeve for Jeffrey Epstein.
[02:55:06] I was wrong. I saw all the charges that the Palestine action people received. And I thought
[02:55:14] there is no real justice in your country. It turns out you have a higher, I mean it's
[02:55:20] a very low bar to clear, especially when compared to the United States of America, but you
[02:55:23] fucking cleared it, so respect.
[02:55:25] Just last year, this man was the U.S. Ambassador to the U.K. Ambassador to the U.S. He was sharing
[02:55:32] jokes with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office.
[02:55:37] He has been at the heart of the Labour government for decades and has had a pretty Teflon-resistant
[02:55:43] career.
[02:55:44] He has had to resign twice, but both times he has bounced back.
[02:55:47] He was made a Lord, but he has now had to resign from the House of Lords and
[02:55:52] Yeah, I mean the the British Kingdom would never offer Lordship to you know very famous pedophiles, of course
[02:56:02] Jimmy several not with standing
[02:56:11] Lost his title so we will wait to hear what
[02:56:16] Police revealed to see how long he's questioned for as well
[02:56:19] How long he'll be held but this is gonna be a huge blow for Prime Minister Kirstammer who has really had to
[02:56:25] Come back fighting and defend his appointment of Peter Mandelson
[02:56:30] Which he was now said he didn't know the extent to which Mandelson sorry several was a knight not a Lord law
[02:56:38] Oh my god, I apologize. Okay, British people come the fuck down
[02:56:45] God damn dude
[02:56:49] My bad, bro. Fuck. Oh, Jesus Christ. The first moment that I give a little bit of recognition to British people, all of a sudden they have to immediately make me feel bad about it.
[02:57:03] Oh! How dare you, sir! It's a knighthood, not a lordship! Apologize!
[02:57:12] The word carries big weight around these parts.
[02:57:19] my bad dude I didn't realize oh you have
[02:57:23] mis-titled this carries a fine of 50
[02:57:29] quid 8 8 rounds of silver and a
[02:57:35] Decapitation post haste
[02:57:49] Off to the gallows with you my good sir, how dare you?
[02:57:56] Uh maintained his ties with jeffrey epstein, but it has been a huge blow to case starman
[02:58:01] This arrest is just going to add fuel to the fire.
[02:58:04] What are the likely political ramifications going to be, Charlie?
[02:58:09] Particularly, as you say, with the pressure right now on Prime Minister Kierstammer.
[02:58:19] Well, we do know that they were discussing in Parliament today
[02:58:22] when new tranches of information relating to the appointment of Mandelson will be released.
[02:58:27] We understand that the government has been cooperating with the police in their investigations
[02:58:33] and handed over all relevant documents.
[02:58:36] But as you know, it has been within his own party, he has garnered support, but outside
[02:58:42] his party calls for his resignation.
[02:58:45] But it's not just in the political establishment that we're getting repercussions.
[02:58:50] Of course, the former Prince Andrew, Lord Mountbatten, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, excuse
[02:58:55] we're getting used to his new title, is still under suspicion. We understand that Metropolitan
[02:59:02] Police today were speaking to his former protection officers who had emerged, were asked to guard
[02:59:10] Andrew while he dined with Jeffrey Epstein in 2010 and they have been brought in for questioning. At
[02:59:16] the same time, I told you this goes even beyond you take out Mendelssohn all of a sudden
[02:59:25] Kid Starver is also compromised
[02:59:28] Just as I told you you take out and
[02:59:31] Prince Andrew former Prince Andrew on these charges you take out Mendelsen you take out Mendelsen all of a sudden
[02:59:38] Kid Starver is also in the fucking crosshairs
[02:59:43] Former civil servants have also come forward
[02:59:46] anonymously giving information that when Andrew was trade envoy to the UK
[02:59:51] he was filing unnecessary and excessive expenses, including charging for personal massages,
[02:59:57] charges that would have ultimately been passed on to the taxpayer.
[03:00:01] And while there's no evidence of any criminal wrongdoing that will have to be assessed,
[03:00:06] it does paint an incredibly unfavourable picture.
[03:00:08] But the message really, both from the palace and from the prime minister, is that...
[03:00:12] That's Lord Kid Starver to you, plebeian.
[03:00:16] is above the law and that these investigations will have to run their
[03:00:21] course. Charlie Angela reporting live from London many thanks Charlie.
[03:00:26] Well Peter Mandelson's arrest is the latest fallout from the Epstein files
[03:00:30] a trove of documents linked to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
[03:00:34] Al Jazeera's Camille Midelec reports. We live in a society where arresting
[03:00:42] pedophiles is too far apparently oh my god oh my god I love that this is
[03:00:49] incredible they're fucking losing their mind all the people he's offended for all
[03:00:55] those decades have certainly now turned around and pointed at him when he comes
[03:00:58] to the human cry you know and I know you hate that aspect of our national
[03:01:02] character you know where people are tiring them feather feathering somebody
[03:01:05] almost as prey and he's been used as a lightning rod for all the anger that
[03:01:09] people feel about so many other things and that's what I just think
[03:01:11] simply because you don't like somebody who you've never met before never will meet doesn't mean that you should be
[03:01:17] Treating this as some blood sport. I mean what we are demanding now
[03:01:21] It's at least based on the evidence that is currently in the public domain and is all allegations at this stage
[03:01:29] It's goes in my view way too far
[03:01:32] Do you not feel embarrassed? Is there not like a moment where you go, maybe I shouldn't
[03:01:43] be defending pedophiles getting arrested. Nope. You just let that shit fly. Huh. That's
[03:01:51] crazy. I guess, I mean, it's surf mentality, right? Like this is a real thing. This is,
[03:01:59] This is one of the most visible versions of the thing I talk about all the time, like
[03:02:03] surf mindset.
[03:02:09] Straight up.
[03:02:10] Absolutely how many.
[03:02:11] We want him to be stripped of all of his baubles.
[03:02:15] There are people who demand that he be exiled.
[03:02:17] Where is he going to be exiled to?
[03:02:19] Stripped of any money.
[03:02:20] How is he going to be exiled to?
[03:02:22] How are we expecting him to be exiled to be ostracized from all of his family?
[03:02:26] He's under police investigation, so he can't be exiled, but that is an option
[03:02:32] Not the Bulbuls
[03:02:35] My good sir
[03:02:37] Not his lordship, not his titles
[03:02:42] His Royalty
[03:02:47] Wow
[03:02:50] New York Times opinion at it again the Epstein file should have never been released
[03:02:56] We're for the first time ever like we're a nose hair away from seeing like a fraction
[03:03:14] of justice for the super wealthy the elite in society and everyone is showing their fucking
[03:03:19] asses dude.
[03:03:22] Everyone's showing their goddamn asses.
[03:03:26] It's disgusting.
[03:03:27] Oh, my lordship can do a little non-suray.
[03:03:37] It's the finer aspects of life.
[03:03:40] They deserve it.
[03:03:41] Honest owner of British politics, Peter Mandelson, has had a tumultuous career.
[03:03:47] His last major appointment was as the UK's ambassador to the United States.
[03:03:52] I'd like to add that, actually, thank you. My mother would be proud.
[03:03:57] Mandelson was fired after allegations linking him to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
[03:04:04] Documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice appeared to show Mandelson shared
[03:04:09] confidential government information with Epstein, including memos on the state of
[03:04:14] the British economy in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis and the prospect of
[03:04:19] an EU bailout. Information he had access to during a decades-long career in the British
[03:04:26] government and as EU Trade Commissioner. Those revelations shook the government of Kirstama,
[03:04:33] leaving the UK Prime Minister fighting for his political life. As he tried to justify
[03:04:39] how and why, he appointed a man who many believe should not have passed a background
[03:04:45] check at the time I appointed him.
[03:04:47] Huh, I wonder why.
[03:04:49] It's because of those reasons that he was appointed.
[03:04:53] Hello?
[03:04:55] Straight up.
[03:04:56] Yeah, I know.
[03:04:57] I'm going to cover the case for striking around in a second.
[03:05:02] I got answered from him, which I believe to be true.
[03:05:05] He painted a picture of barely knowing Epstein.
[03:05:10] If he's charged and found guilty, Mandelson could be sentenced to life in prison, although
[03:05:16] convictions for misconduct in UK public office are rare.
[03:05:20] Camille Nadelech, Alta Zira.
[03:05:23] Jonathan Tong is a professor of politics at the University of Liverpool and a specialist
[03:05:27] on British and Irish politics.
[03:05:29] He joins us now live from Manchester.
[03:05:31] Good to have you with us, Professor Seismic.
[03:05:34] Our correspondent called it, what's your reaction to the arrest of Peter Mandelson?
[03:05:38] I think the arrest of Peter Mandelson was almost inevitable given the arrest last week of the
[03:05:44] former Prince Andrew, now Andrew Mount Button Windsor, because all the evidence we have to
[03:05:50] date is that Peter Mandelson was even closer to Jeffrey Epstein than was Andrew Mount Button
[03:05:57] Windsor. I mean, Peter Mandelson was writing to Jeffrey Epstein when he was in prison
[03:06:01] and saying, well, in just this it had been the imprisonment of Jeffrey Epstein.
[03:06:05] And we do have some evidence via emails that shows that Peter Mandelson was passing on
[03:06:11] some aspects of cabinet governance to Jeffrey Epstein.
[03:06:18] There's some particular emails that deal with that.
[03:06:20] For example, he was advising him that the government was going to sell 20 billion pounds
[03:06:24] of assets.
[03:06:25] He was advising on tax issues relating to the UK government.
[03:06:28] And Peter Mandelson encouraged the head of JP Morgan, a major American firm, to get in
[03:06:36] touch with the chancellor, the UK chancellor, to oppose bankers' taxes on bankers' bonuses.
[03:06:43] So there was a piece of evidence, I think it was almost inevitable that police would
[03:06:46] at least make inquiries over what Peter Mandelson has been up to.
[03:06:51] As we've been hearing, Jonathan, Mandelson was one of the most consequential political
[03:06:56] operators of the new labor era. I mean, how politically significant is it to see someone
[03:07:03] of his stature being arrested like this? I think it's hugely politically significant
[03:07:09] because it shows bad just... You're breathing really heavy, my G? No, I'm not. I'm not. It's
[03:07:18] It's their microphone dude.
[03:07:22] It's the fucking newscaster.
[03:07:27] Notice how it stopped?
[03:07:30] It's from the fucking video, dumbasses.
[03:07:36] Why do people pick on you constantly?
[03:07:38] It's just a way to get my attention.
[03:07:41] movement on the part of Tony Blair initially, who appointed Peter Mandelson and Peter Mandelson
[03:07:45] had to quit cabinet twice because he was involved in controversies. Gordon Brown then made or
[03:07:52] helped make Peter Mandelson a member of the House of Lords, so it reflects badly upon
[03:07:57] his judgment. And it certainly reflects badly upon the judgment of Keir Starmer as the
[03:08:02] current prime minister, because it's only a few months ago that Keir Starmer was
[03:08:06] and I won't declare you have full confidence in Peter Mandelson as the UK ambassador to
[03:08:13] the United States, arguably the most important ambassadorial posting that there is. It was
[03:08:18] under pressure from the leader of the opposition, Kenny Bainock, that Keir Starmer began to
[03:08:22] row back from that. And now Keir Starmer says that Peter Mandelson lied to him, but
[03:08:27] surely the vetting of Peter Mandelson before he was given such a key appointment should
[03:08:32] have been far, far, far more thorough.
[03:08:34] But we'll now see what-
[03:08:35] That wasn't me.
[03:08:36] That wasn't me.
[03:08:37] Okay.
[03:08:38] Whether the UK police are more thorough in their investigations of peaceful violence.
[03:08:42] What about the electorate?
[03:08:43] Given his history at the heart of government and the governing Labour Party, what are the
[03:08:48] immediate political ramifications of this arrest?
[03:08:51] What could it mean for Labour electorally?
[03:08:54] And you mentioned Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
[03:08:56] Could this bring him down?
[03:08:59] Possibly.
[03:09:00] Possibly, although I think that Keir Starmer has now sufficiently distanced himself from
[03:09:04] Peter Mandelson to avoid that, but I think the electorate will take a dim view of the
[03:09:09] Prime Minister's judgment in ever bringing Peter Mandelson into such a key post. And it might
[03:09:15] make those electoral tests that loom for Keir Starmer that much more difficult. He's got a
[03:09:20] very difficult by-election Keir Starmer in Gorton and Denton this week. Labour trying to cling
[03:09:26] on to that particular parliamentary seat, and he's got a huge set of elections, come
[03:09:30] this May, with English, local elections and Scottish and Welsh Parliament elections. Given
[03:09:35] that there are questions at the moment over Kirsten Armour's judgement, then I think at
[03:09:40] the moment, with his low polling rating, those elections look highly problematical at the
[03:09:45] moment for the Labour Party.
[03:09:47] Good to talk to you, Professor. Many thanks indeed, Jonathan Tong there in Manchester.
[03:09:54] Get this out. Get a full picture.
[03:09:56] A very public arrest.
[03:09:58] It was just before 4.45 in the afternoon.
[03:10:01] In broad daylight and in full view of TV cameras and photographers,
[03:10:06] the Peter Mandelson was led from his London home by police officers
[03:10:10] and taken to a police station to be interviewed.
[03:10:15] Around half an hour earlier,
[03:10:17] the same officers had been seen arriving at Mandelson's home.
[03:10:21] And minutes after the former peer was driven from his home in an unmarked car, the Metropolitan
[03:10:29] Police confirmed he'd been arrested.
[03:10:33] Officers have arrested a 72-year-old man on suspicion of misconduct in public office,
[03:10:39] said a spokesperson.
[03:10:41] He was arrested at an address in Camden on Monday 23rd of February and has been taken
[03:10:46] to a London police station for interview.
[03:10:50] This follows search warrants at two addresses in the Wiltshire and Camden areas.
[03:10:56] Those searches began at both addresses more than two weeks ago and police officers were
[03:11:01] later...
[03:11:02] Bro, this is how I...
[03:11:10] This is how I feel watching New York receives Oramumdani.
[03:11:18] This is how I feel watching another country that is so close to ours and culture actually
[03:11:27] do a little bit of justice for some of these elite pedophiles.
[03:11:33] It's fucked up.
[03:11:34] It's actually fucked up.
[03:11:36] Wait, what is going on?
[03:11:39] Can chatters hear me breathing, breathing heavy?
[03:11:41] Like, I don't understand.
[03:11:44] Am I breathing heavy?
[03:11:45] You can't even hear my breathing.
[03:11:53] Are we still on the previous video?
[03:11:55] In this video, you can't even hear him breathing.
[03:11:58] Like I don't understand what's going on.
[03:12:07] It's just, yeah, this is what our law enforcement is doing right now, but it's just crazy to
[03:12:14] watch countries that have like an interest at the very least an interest in like showing
[03:12:20] that they have a adequate justice system. Very, very strange experience. I am feeling
[03:12:30] a little bit of jealousy. America has not even attempted to course correct here. Like
[03:12:37] not even a little bit. Hopefully this will light a fire under our asses collectively.
[03:12:44] little pisses off and maybe we'll demand justice. I don't see that at all. I don't see that happening
[03:12:50] at all. The scene taking boxes away. It's Mandelson's friendship with the American financier
[03:13:00] and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein that's led to this dramatic fall from grace.
[03:13:06] Mr President, thank you very much indeed in hosting us this morning.
[03:13:13] Less than six months ago, he was British ambassador in Washington, the UK's most glittering diplomatic
[03:13:20] posting, before being sacked by Sir Keir Starmer in September.
[03:13:25] Are you embarrassed to put in your trust in Peter Munlosson, Prime Minister?
[03:13:29] Was he saved by your judgement, Prime Minister?
[03:13:31] Last year he told Sky News of his regret about his association with Epstein.
[03:13:37] My knowledge of him is something that I regret, I wish I'd never met him in the first place.
[03:13:43] But the release of the Epstein files, suggesting he shared government information with Epstein
[03:13:48] and he was a cabinet minister under Gordon Brown, may have prompted the police investigation.
[03:13:54] Mandelson's arrest comes just four days after the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten
[03:13:58] Windsor over his actions as a government trade envoy.
[03:14:02] These are extraordinary moments. What we need to remember though, I think, is that the police
[03:14:07] investigations in both cases and their separate investigations, one by Thames Valley Police,
[03:14:12] this by Metropolitan Police, are in the early stages. There may be other documents and
[03:14:16] emails held on digital devices at Mandelson's homes in Wiltshire or Camden that they will
[03:14:24] have wanted to look at.
[03:14:27] arrest is a huge blow for Sir Keir Starmer and the conservatives are turning up the heat on the
[03:14:33] Prime Minister. I asked him if he had full confidence in Peter Mandelson just a few months ago
[03:14:39] and he said yes, despite all of these allegations being known, only to see the man arrest that
[03:14:45] shows that the Prime Minister has a terrible judgment. He's weak. He could have done more.
[03:14:52] Mandelson continues to deny wrongdoing and Labour ministers insist the Prime Minister acted decisively.
[03:14:59] As soon as Keir Starmer understood what the reality of Peter Mandelson's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was,
[03:15:06] he sacked him in the middle of the night actually. So you know I think that's an important area of judgment.
[03:15:14] You knew about it ahead of time. That's the reason why you brought him in. Get the fuck out of here.
[03:15:19] here, straight up. Hopefully there's an additional investigation that takes place. Hopefully there's
[03:15:29] an investigation that takes place that's conducted here that completely blows the shit up and
[03:15:36] that not only do people understand that Kyrgyzstan was heavily involved in this, had full knowledge
[03:15:41] over it, but also people are forgetting the other component of this. Okay. This is
[03:15:48] moment of indication for Jeremy Corbyn. This is a moment of indication for the true left in the UK
[03:15:54] because Jeremy Corbyn, in spite of his other issues like, you know, not, not having like a super
[03:16:01] solid position on Brexit, which definitely hurt his chances, was rat-fucked internally by the
[03:16:09] the Labour Party by the likes of Mendelssohn and Kier Starmer.
[03:16:14] Okay, Jeremy Corbyn, because of his position on Israel, was called an anti-Semite over
[03:16:21] and over again endlessly by the British media, by the British press, by members of his own
[03:16:27] party.
[03:16:28] They actually created an anti-Semitism panic within the party deliberately just so they
[03:16:33] They could keep feeding into the media that was aggressively trying to persecute him.
[03:16:43] But Corbyn he fucked over Sultana.
[03:16:45] Shut the fuck up.
[03:16:47] We're not having a conversation about your party.
[03:16:49] Every moment that we don't talk about your party is a good moment, okay?
[03:16:54] It serves you, it literally does not serve you at all.
[03:17:01] It does not serve you at all to even bring that shit up a little bit, okay?
[03:17:14] What should Corvin's stance be on Brexit?
[03:17:17] No Brexit.
[03:17:21] He should have been anti-Brexit.
[03:17:22] I know that there were plenty of labor strongholds that wanted Brexit, but he shouldn't have
[03:17:28] been afraid to lead there.
[03:17:30] should have just been like, no, we're not doing Brexit. That's crazy. Okay. Brexit literally
[03:17:35] hurt the UK in very meaningful ways and it still continues to do so. Why do you support
[03:17:46] the EU? Yes, I love the European Union. I love neoliberalism. I love taking away the
[03:17:51] sovereignty of British population. I love it all. Corbyn was a Brexit here his whole
[03:17:57] life? What do you mean? Yes, it doesn't matter. The appropriate thing to do in that moment
[03:18:00] was to say, was to be no on Brexit. Okay. Just like I'm a massive fan of Gavin Newsom,
[03:18:16] I'm also a massive fan of the European Union. You literally can't have any sort of leftist
[03:18:20] policies with this in the EU, you can't privatize literally anything. Okay. Being anti EU is
[03:18:36] an OG 70s British lefty position. I know, I know, I know all of this. I covered it years
[03:18:42] ago. I know. Is that not the same as NATO? Okay, we're not going to have a conversation
[03:18:50] about Brexit right now please this is not the point that I was trying to make the
[03:18:53] point that I was trying to make is that Jeremy Corbyn got rat-fucked by his own
[03:18:59] party by the Blairite wing of his own fucking party okay here's Tharmer being
[03:19:05] one of the leaders of that charge they created a fake anti-Semitism panic
[03:19:10] within the party structure a lot of people got duped by it a lot of people
[03:19:15] leaned into it it was not about anti-Semitism at all after all the
[03:19:19] were objectively and openly, infinitely more anti-Semitic than Labour ever could be, they straight up,
[03:19:27] they straight up kept hammering him with false anti-Semitism smears over and over again,
[03:19:33] and they made the entire conversation about Jeremy Corbyn's unelectability because British Jews were going to be
[03:19:39] leaving the country in droves and all this shit, okay?
[03:19:43] And they did that specifically because they were terrified of Jeremy Corbyn's anti-Israel position.
[03:19:49] Okay. A position that has been vindicated a million times over.
[03:19:55] But for Mandelson personally, his arrest is the latest humiliation in a spectacular downfall for someone formerly at the heart of the Labour High Command.
[03:20:06] John Craig, Sky News.
[03:20:08] Peter Mandelson has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
[03:20:13] So what does that mean while the Crown prosecution service defines it as when someone holding public
[03:20:18] office willfully neglects to perform their duty and or willfully misconducts themselves
[03:20:23] to such a degree as to amount to an abuse of the public's trust in the office holder
[03:20:28] without reasonable excuse or justification?
[03:20:32] Andrew Mambaton-Winsor was arrested on suspicion of the same offence.
[03:20:35] We don't know what evidence the Met Police may have considered before making this
[03:20:39] arrest.
[03:20:40] has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
[03:20:44] The latest files painted a picture of Epstein's reach
[03:20:47] in the highest circles of power, politics, and celebrity.
[03:20:50] And the two arrests in the wake of their release
[03:20:52] are a vivid example of that.
[03:20:54] Peter Mandelson features extensively in them
[03:20:57] as photos in the files of the test.
[03:20:59] Again, being included in the files
[03:21:01] is not evidence of any wrongdoing.
[03:21:03] The Mandelson was often photographed at Epstein's side
[03:21:05] in multiple locations over multiple years.
[03:21:08] Here, Mandelson is pictured on a yacht with Epstein and others.
[03:21:12] And here he is celebrating Epstein's 54th birthday.
[03:21:16] Now, this photo, also part of the files, shows how Mandelson was comfortable around Epstein,
[03:21:21] even when being photographed.
[03:21:24] Mandelson's association with Epstein was public knowledge, very public knowledge.
[03:21:29] But the files did shed new lights on its nature.
[03:21:32] First off, its length. This is from 2009.
[03:21:35] 2009 Madison wrote to Epstein. You are the only person who knows everything about me. Don't go away be more precise
[03:21:41] The date is May 2009. This is while Epstein was still serving as sentence in Florida for procuring child prostitution
[03:21:49] There are casual jokey
[03:21:51] Intimacies in the documents. This is two and a half years later. Madison writes into Epstein
[03:21:55] You don't care about me anymore Epstein replying rubbish
[03:21:58] Manusen was happy to discuss politics too. In 2009 Manusen's assistant emailed Epstein
[03:22:05] a government speech here before it was delivered. And this email was sent while Manusen was
[03:22:11] sent.
[03:22:12] Yeah, we knew years ago that Manusen has stayed in Epstein's flat whilst he was in prison.
[03:22:15] The media here are lying. Yes. The reason why he was brought back into the fucking
[03:22:20] fold was because of his Epstein connections. Because Jeffrey Epstein connections, I think
[03:22:25] for a lot of these people imply that you're connected to the American State Department,
[03:22:29] that you're connected to the Israeli espionage agencies, and that is precisely the reason
[03:22:35] why you kept your prominent position of power.
[03:22:40] Madison was not doing the Corbyn rat fucking specifically because Corbyn was a danger to
[03:22:49] a capital interest in the UK, that was definitely a component of it, but he was also certainly
[03:22:54] doing it because he was a danger to Israel. Okay? Straight up. That's it. I'm saying it
[03:23:02] out loud so that you are not confused by this. These guys can absolutely be seen either indirectly
[03:23:11] or directly as agents of the Israeli state apparatus. Okay? At this point, you'd be
[03:23:20] delusional not to recognize that Jeffrey Epstein was both a CIA and a Mossad asset. Anyone who tries
[03:23:27] to tell you like, oh, they were not collaborating with the CIA or collaborating with Mossad is
[03:23:33] fucking lying. Some people say it's just Mossad. They're fucking lying. Some people say just CIA,
[03:23:38] not Mossad. They're fucking lying. And the third group says it's KGB. Those people are,
[03:23:44] They should never be listened to ever again. Okay?
[03:23:55] Not only that, but this is all, I mean, all of the, the statements that I'm making, you can get
[03:24:01] from the readily available information. You may not know, but Mandelson is also Jewish
[03:24:09] and people here were trying to smear people as conspiracy theorists, anti-Semites. I didn't
[03:24:13] I didn't even know that Mandelson was Jewish,
[03:24:16] but it's not surprising to me that people are fucking saying
[03:24:19] it's anti-Semitic conspiracies.
[03:24:22] Okay?
[03:24:33] Shift State Department of Business, Innovation, and Skills.
[03:24:36] In 2010, this government was struggling to deal with it.
[03:24:39] Thank you for the 100 Gifted Subs, anonymous user.
[03:24:41] crisis, there was this exchange. Epstein emails Mandelson, sources tell me a 500 billion year
[03:24:47] out bailout, almost complete. Mandelson says should be announced tonight. Epstein asks,
[03:24:53] are you home? Mandelson replies, just leaving number 10 will cool. Again, we don't know
[03:24:59] what evidence the Met Police may have considered before making this arrest. And Mandelson
[03:25:03] has consistently denied any wrongdoing. We will know if the investigation finds
[03:25:10] no leads. And that we will know if this is a fake sham trial specifically to prove Mendelssohn's
[03:25:22] innocence, okay? We'll see if this is true justice being served, which is unlikely. But
[03:25:28] even a step in the right direction like this is a positive. It's good news nonetheless.
[03:25:36] Israel today called the Green Party UK hateful and racist, yeah, led by a Jewish guy,
[03:25:40] by the way. Jewish house on Abbey Head. Um, yeah, I mean, that's, that's what it is at
[03:25:49] the end of the day. These guys don't give a fuck about anti-Semitism. I don't know how
[03:25:52] many times I have to explain it. They do not care about anti-Semitism. They just care
[03:25:57] about Israel. That's it. Zach Polanski is Jewish. He also happens to be anti-Israel.
[03:26:04] And they're literally saying that Zach Polanski, a Jewish man, is anti-Semitic.
[03:26:11] And it might work for the record.
[03:26:13] I mean, the British media is obviously very pliant with this kind of demand.
[03:26:16] They love, they love smearing anyone and everyone that is anti-Israel as anti-Semitic.
[03:26:26] Anti-Zionism is treated like the highest stage of anti-Semitism.
[03:26:29] There is, you can be a Holocaust denier, but as long as you fucking are pro-Israel, people
[03:26:35] won't look at you funny in the same way that they do if you are Jewish and also anti-Zionist.
[03:26:42] Now I don't think the public is as unaware of these sorts of smears after the last
[03:26:49] three years of maximum genocide, a live streamed Holocaust and the smears that were deployed
[03:26:56] towards anyone that said you shouldn't kill children, right?
[03:27:02] Have you read the insane B.B.
[03:27:03] Cole where he claims that his connections to Ehud is proof he is not a
[03:27:06] Mossad agent? Yeah, I know.
[03:27:09] Jeffrey Epstein's unusual close relationship with Ehud Barak doesn't
[03:27:11] suggest Epstein work for Israel.
[03:27:13] It proves the opposite.
[03:27:14] Ninjahu said that Israel worked for Epstein.
[03:27:16] Is that what he's saying?
[03:27:19] Yeah, that hasn't stopped
[03:27:22] dumb fucks from running their mouths, though, of course.
[03:27:26] Uh, dumb fucks like my boldest opp of all time, Jonathan Greenblatt, here he is.
[03:27:35] I think that my Zionism is rooted in humanism.
[03:27:40] My Zionism is rooted in...
[03:27:42] It's like saying my Naziism is rooted in humanism.
[03:27:45] I'm sorry, it's identical. It's an identical fascist ideology.
[03:27:48] You're out of your fucking mind.
[03:27:50] a belief that all of us as children of God, created in the image of God, have
[03:27:56] certain basic rights, and that we have a covenantal relationship with Hashem, and
[03:28:01] that allows me to see the humanity of Palestinians on the other side. Now
[03:28:05] ultimately at the end of the day, again I'm not a political scientist, I don't
[03:28:08] know what a final resolution will look like, but I pray for the peace of
[03:28:12] Jerusalem, where my family here in this country, where my friends here in
[03:28:16] this country, where my colleagues here in this country, where people like you
[03:28:19] your family and friends will be able to raise their children as Israeli Jews if
[03:28:24] that's what they want to do, at whatever level of observance they want, from
[03:28:27] whatever walk of life they make they may come and do so in such a way that
[03:28:32] others can enjoy their own lives as well. So sorry for the long answer. No it was a
[03:28:37] great answer. But it's just it's sad and I think what I see in my position at
[03:28:41] ADL for every day, are people who deny the humanity of Jews, who deny the humanity of
[03:28:50] Israelis, who deny the humanity of Zionists, and I have no patience for that.
[03:28:57] I mean, these people who, again, make these wild claims, these conspiracists who concoct
[03:29:05] these fantasies, whether it's Tucker Carlson or Hassan Piker or Alex Jones or Max Blumenthal,
[03:29:15] a whole lot of them. I mean, I think they're a sad, sad group of people.
[03:29:23] Wait, did he even not mention Nick Fuentes? I get a name drop before Nick Fuentes.
[03:29:35] straight up lumpy with Nazis. I know. I mean, Max Blumenthal is not, but
[03:29:44] Oh, open presses. Thank you for the hundred gifted subs and anonymous. Thank you for the
[03:29:52] hundred gifted subs as well. Nick fell off after you called him gay in Mexican. You mean
[03:30:01] acknowledged that he is gay in mexican
[03:30:12] i believe he's naming guys he wants you to fuck his wife yeah
[03:30:18] yeah i mean i guess niki's went to niki's went to niki's pro israel
[03:30:25] They say vote reform despite them being a partyful anti-Semites Holocaust denies because they're
[03:30:37] pro-Israel but don't vote green led by Jewish man because he views Palestinians as human
[03:30:41] beings so he's the greatest evil I know.
[03:30:44] I don't know how many times we have to play this song and dance until people realize
[03:30:47] that like they're lying.
[03:30:50] who is pro-Israel that fucking tries to lump people like myself in with even people like
[03:30:55] Tucker Carlson or Alex Jones or Nick Fuentes or all these other people like they're fucking
[03:31:01] lying.
[03:31:03] The reason why I mention side by side sometimes with the likes of Nick Fuentes in this situation
[03:31:09] is to try to associate me with anti-Semitism.
[03:31:14] I'm actually anti-Israel unlike Nick Fuentes.
[03:31:17] I'm just not an anti-Semite.
[03:31:20] also unlike Nick Fuentes.
[03:31:24] Is my normies think you are a right winger?
[03:31:26] My normie friend thought you were a Republican.
[03:31:27] That's actually not a bad thing
[03:31:30] because the reality is a lot of people probably
[03:31:33] are more open-minded to like a Republican guy
[03:31:36] talking about politics than they are about a socialist.
[03:31:45] It's not even a joke.
[03:31:46] Like, think about liberals even. Like the average liberal is constantly obsessing over
[03:31:53] how to win over Republican votes, constantly obsessing over winning Republican votes to
[03:32:00] their side, as opposed to like listening to the demands being made by their left flank.
[03:32:08] By the way, going back to this, here says, it's worth investigating why FC files are
[03:32:12] having a much bigger impact in Europe than the US, despite Epstein was a close, despite
[03:32:16] The fact that Epstein was close to many big figures in the U.S. including two presidents and that's precisely the reason why
[03:32:25] Just so you understand
[03:32:31] Why are you a socialist when did socialism work?
[03:32:35] It works in mysterious ways every day
[03:32:37] It works different aspects of socialization even works in the United States of America as a matter of fact
[03:32:43] Socialization initiatives are the reason why you have so many things that you take for granted, like social security things of that nature.
[03:32:54] Okay?
[03:33:05] Meanwhile, capitalism doesn't work for you. It works for the super wealthy and yet you still defend it.
[03:33:13] Why are you a socialist?
[03:33:28] Because I think it's a necessary evolution away from the current economic organization
[03:33:34] of society, where mankind to thrive. We must bring about a socialist revolution 100% That's
[03:33:47] the reason why this is funny. Newsmax Western civilization Judaism Christ Christianity USA.
[03:34:04] 20 how capitalism works better for you the socialist than it does for that chatter and
[03:34:18] that chatter would likely benefit from socialism so much more than you yet here we are no that's
[03:34:23] also not true when people think that like wealthy people would not benefit from socialism
[03:34:29] they're wrong. Like, there is a self-interested advocacy from even those who are wealthy, especially
[03:34:37] not capital owners, but like those who are more affluent than the average person. Like,
[03:34:44] I want to live in a thriving society, okay? I want to live in a society where everyone
[03:34:51] is maxing out their potential. I want to live in a society where people don't have
[03:34:54] the fucking worry about shelter. Like, that's a better, that's a far better society to live
[03:35:00] in than the one that we currently live in. Who the fuck wants to live in a world where
[03:35:03] in the wealthiest nation on the planet, there are 700,000 people sleeping outside. Okay?
[03:35:11] It doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. I don't understand it. It's
[03:35:21] stupid. Please admit it. What is this?
[03:35:25] Hassan, I'm confused why people don't think you're a communist. And if that's true, I do not understand why you don't think you're a communist. That's my question. But in the other direction, you're a communist. Please admit it.
[03:35:34] I have said over and over again that I do not mind being called a communist.
[03:35:39] I believe that a stateless, stateless, moneyless, classless, borderless society is an ambitious
[03:35:47] project, but one that I think is a end state that I would love to live in, okay?
[03:35:56] It doesn't make any sense.
[03:35:58] Like I don't know why you're like, no, you have to say you're a communist.
[03:36:09] Nancy Pelosi is a communist, you're a fake one though, it's true.
[03:36:18] I don't care about the way, I mean, I don't care about what people say I am or what the
[03:36:25] speculation is.
[03:36:28] Okay?
[03:36:31] I am not an anarchist, make no mistake.
[03:36:35] Okay?
[03:36:37] I am not an anarchist.
[03:36:39] My organizational principle is very different than anarchism.
[03:36:45] I'm not.
[03:36:46] I'm not an anarchist.
[03:36:47] How can you support a state's class as society without anarchism?
[03:37:06] Because I'm an adult.
[03:37:07] Okay.
[03:37:08] this conversation. It's a great theory. It's very honest. I love it. It's fantastic. More
[03:37:15] power to you. Okay. But the methods required to make this sort of change, the anarchists
[03:37:25] are not going to be able to achieve it. They never have and they never will. Although I
[03:37:30] I love anarchists. I have much love for anarchists. It's not, not happening guys. Okay. Please stop.
[03:37:39] Also, I don't give a shit. I don't give a shit what you call yourself. Okay. As long as you are, as long as you are moving the needle in the right direction, you're good in my book. As long as you're anti capitalists, you're good in my book.
[03:37:52] Okay. Who gives a fuck?
[03:38:00] What is this? This lady got really scared. The message just went to this man on the street talking about private equity owning homes.
[03:38:21] Yeah, there's some people out in ways looking for shelter. And I think a lot of people think this is why we shouldn't allow hedge funds to own.
[03:38:28] And so what we were talking about earlier too is a little bit of the nostalgia aspect, right?
[03:38:34] How this feels kind of like back in the 90s over here earlier.
[03:38:37] Yeah, we were saying, yeah, it was much more snow, colder winters.
[03:38:41] And again, kind of that, whether you can own so much of the Halloween stuff in America.
[03:38:46] Thank you so much, Cosby. We're kind of looking at now.
[03:38:49] Do you think we should encourage people to learn about other opinions within the left too though?
[03:39:00] Sure.
[03:39:01] I don't got no problem with it.
[03:39:09] There are a lot of anarchists that synthesize Marxist analysis and practices man.
[03:39:15] Oh my god.
[03:39:16] here. This is why I don't like talking about my my ideological tendencies, okay? It's stupid.
[03:39:24] It causes unnecessary sectarian infighting. It's fucking stupid. Stop. Stop obsessing over
[03:39:32] things that are utterly irrelevant right now, okay? Please. Jesus Christ.
[03:39:38] It's, I think it's fairly obvious what direction I lean in is just incredibly unproductive at
[03:39:52] this stage to talk about these, these, these like minor differences in opinion. Okay. We
[03:39:57] live in a country where people think Bernie Sanders is like the scariest communist of
[03:40:02] all time for running on an objectively social democratic platform, okay?
[03:40:09] Holy fuck. I will tell you what, I'm not. I'm not a trot. I'm not an anarchist.
[03:40:25] I'm not a Maoist.
[03:40:32] I don't want Marxism or communism. I just want a better future. Well, it kind of feels like both of those
[03:40:40] Attempts are fairly successful at bringing about a better future
[03:40:46] Anyway
[03:40:50] Why not a Maoist I don't know because I fucking live in the United States of America. What are you talking about?
[03:40:57] Why I'm not a Maoist I
[03:40:59] I live in the imperial court. What are you? I live in the imperial court. There is nothing resembling a peasant class here
[03:41:06] What the fuck?
[03:41:10] Okay, we're done. We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done new protests break out across Iran
[03:41:15] Iran the next round of nuclear talks that's take place in Thursday in Switzerland as you guys build up its military presence in the
[03:41:22] Middle East
[03:41:22] President Trump is trying to strike Iran if a deal is not reached when we got our chief foreign correspondent Ian panel. Good morning
[03:41:29] Yes, good morning, George. A fresh wave of protests breaking out in Iran amid rising
[03:41:35] tensions over a possible US military strike, with demonstrations in several
[03:41:39] universities, with students shouting slogans against Iran's supreme leader.
[03:41:43] Remember, protests last month were brutally crushed, with at least 7,000
[03:41:47] people killed by regime forces. Meanwhile, Special Envoy Steve
[03:41:51] Wyckoff warning Iran could be a week away from having material for a nuclear
[03:41:54] bomb, but that's been the case for months. Amid growing fears of war,
[03:41:58] another round of negotiations is possible this week.
[03:42:01] President Trump has given Iran an ultimatum
[03:42:03] to agree to a nuclear deal within the next two weeks,
[03:42:06] and he's confirming he's considering
[03:42:08] a limited strike on Iran.
[03:42:10] If it-
[03:42:10] Mac is pretty close to a peasant class?
[03:42:12] No, no, they're not.
[03:42:13] The closest we have to a peasant class
[03:42:18] is undocumented migrants in this country.
[03:42:23] And even that is like,
[03:42:24] I don't know if they would be considered,
[03:42:26] would not be considered peasant class prisoners maybe. Yeah, meanwhile, while this is happening,
[03:42:43] yeah, maga is a petite bourgeois and the lump in pearls. They are the closest to a historically
[03:42:50] a fascist class. Like that's, that's where that's where fascism thrives. Small business
[03:42:56] owners, Titans of industry, obviously, which are either liberal or fascist. And, uh, and,
[03:43:03] and of course the lump in polls, the vagrants, people living in trailer parks, um, you know,
[03:43:15] who have been discarded by civilized society that are just angry, confused, and have plenty
[03:43:23] of reactionary tendencies.
[03:43:36] Slaves of the peasant class and yes, we will have slavery.
[03:43:39] Yes we still have slavery as a permissible form of punishment, yeah that's why I said
[03:43:41] like prisoners are the closest to a peasant class, but the reality of the
[03:43:47] matter is as far as the productive forces goes in the normal process of
[03:43:53] commodity production, our peasant class is in the third world. We've outsourced
[03:43:59] it. We've outsourced it to the child miners in Congo. We've outsourced it
[03:44:06] overseas.
[03:44:10] Also, we're not at that stage of industrial production to have a peasant class anyway.
[03:44:18] Like, these are, these are, we have a totally separate mode of production here in the United
[03:44:25] States of America.
[03:44:26] This is like, it's important to understand historical development, but there's no comparison
[03:44:32] you can make here.
[03:44:34] Like there's nothing, like there's, you do not comprehend what rural peasantry
[03:44:39] looked like and their living conditions look like in an industrializing china
[03:44:44] in like the fucking thirties and forties and onward
[03:44:48] uh... you have no way of comprehending what their day-to-day existence look like
[03:44:52] uh... in compare and try to compare it to the day-to-day existence of like the
[03:44:56] poorest person in the united states of america even a homeless person in the
[03:44:59] united states of america
[03:45:01] is just not
[03:45:03] comparable and it's also a totally separate
[03:45:05] category anyway
[03:45:09] That is also different from, that is also genuinely different from like the industrial
[03:45:20] worker as well.
[03:45:23] You're in this, ready for LA, ready for a bull transformation to change the movement, we'll
[03:45:28] look at that in a little bit.
[03:45:29] Doesn't, but around making it clear, it'll retaliate against US troops and bases in
[03:45:34] the region.
[03:45:35] Michael.
[03:45:36] and thank you for that something none of us really want to happen and the US
[03:45:40] State Department evacuating non-emergency personnel from its
[03:45:43] embassy in Beirut so the department says the embassy remains operational with its
[03:45:48] core staff in place the move comes as the Trump administration builds up
[03:45:52] military forces in the region ahead of possible strikes on Iran and Bill has
[03:45:56] much more on that from the board yeah the in-suitification of probably one
[03:46:03] of the only aspects of American existence that still kind of works. The military continues.
[03:46:10] President Trump's decision to extend for a second time to deployment of the aircraft
[03:46:12] carrier USS Gerald Ford is taking a toll on the ship sailors and their families. Miss
[03:46:16] funerals and block toilets. Iran deployment takes a toll on us sailors. Because remember
[03:46:22] nothing works in this fucking country. Let's be real, right? Your roads are shitty.
[03:46:27] infrastructure is shitty, everything is busted, except the military is supposed to work. It's like
[03:46:35] one of the last organizations in American society that kind of works, right? And yet, even these
[03:46:44] guys don't fucking work. Update sewage apocalypse on USS Gerald Ford toilets. 80% of the toilets
[03:46:54] are completely stuck, waste backing up and flowing in reverse, and shitification but literally
[03:47:02] and figuratively. The guns work, the toilets who cares, yeah except you can't actually
[03:47:08] have a real working military without the fucking toilets working on the goddamn ship.
[03:47:15] So it does actually, it does unironically, unironically put a hurdle in front of the
[03:47:23] Imperial plans, the Imperial design of America here.
[03:47:32] $13 billion U.S. carrier stopping in Crete so that the crew can take normal shits.
[03:47:38] The U.S. is Gerald Ford, seen arriving earlier today at Crete Naval Base in Suda Bay, Greece,
[03:47:44] for a multi-day port visit allowing the ship to replenish supplies and the sailors on board
[03:47:48] duress prior to continuing her journey towards the eastern Mediterranean near Israel. Six years
[03:47:54] ago, still trying to fix the $13 billion boondoggles toilets, those trillion-dollar Pentagon budgets
[03:47:59] aren't for peasants who serve. It's all for mansion-dwelling North Virginia arms merchants
[03:48:04] who kick some of it back to the political class, rinse and repeat. This is literally the same
[03:48:10] corruptive cycle that has a corrosive influence on even one of the only aspects of the American
[03:48:20] only aspects of like daily American existence modern American existence that's supposed to work
[03:48:25] okay this is literally the one thing you can't fuck up because the entire confidence
[03:48:32] as the global reserve currency in the petrodollar in the dollar itself
[03:48:37] Stems from America's logistics and it's just in time imperial warfare
[03:48:44] America cannot maintain the global reserve currency if its military force can't be anywhere all at once in real time
[03:48:52] around the fucking planet
[03:48:58] The sewage system in Crete is about the experience such a devastating breakdown of the grease might require another EU bailout
[03:49:04] You can't even flush toilet paper down most toilets there and these Navy guys blew up their aircraft carrier septic system by flushing t-shirts and rope
[03:49:19] Wash is pretty bad according to an email the engineering department sent a march
[03:49:23] Sailors were working 19 hours a day to track down and fix the leaks
[03:49:28] The email revenues is 205 calls in less than four days
[03:49:32] toilets
[03:49:33] Which the Navy calls heads can go down for hours in parts of the ship. I
[03:49:40] Love this story man
[03:49:43] Once the carrier finally left Norfolk in June the problem seemed to have gotten worse in July and August
[03:49:49] There are increasingly heated discussions between leadership in the engineering department
[03:49:52] This is a vacuum system a problem with one can one head can cause all the toilets in the part of the ship to
[03:49:58] loose suction, making it more difficult for the maintenance crew to isolate a problem.
[03:50:02] The crews find everything from t-shirts to a four foot piece of rope clogging the system.
[03:50:07] One of these guys literally went the old fashioned way.
[03:50:12] Roman style and was like, I'm going to use a piece of rope to wipe my ass.
[03:50:19] When you start reading about the Navy and the military and the way that they fucking
[03:50:23] lived their lives you understand why they have to be taught that they must brush their fucking teeth
[03:50:30] they have to be taught that they have to they have to literally be taught how to wipe their asses
[03:50:35] dude this is why because they're a bunch of goddamn animals
[03:50:49] but the most common problem seems to be part of the back of the toilet that comes loose
[03:50:53] Yeah, I guess Iran is gonna find out why we don't have healthcare
[03:51:05] because we're busting the fucking toilets in this 13 billion dollar walking island
[03:51:18] And America doesn't have enough masks.
[03:51:23] This is from March 24th, 2020.
[03:51:25] America doesn't have enough masks for doctors or ventilators for patients.
[03:51:28] Meanwhile, it has new aircraft carriers, $13 billion a pop, where the toilets don't work
[03:51:32] properly and must be cleaned with specialized asses costing about $400,000 of flush.
[03:51:41] That was in 2020, chat, 2020.
[03:51:47] someone's out there taking advantage of this economic activity someone's always
[03:51:52] making money let's take a look on Iran has a hitch most of the bomb targeting
[03:51:58] crew are busy curing for toilets on the lead vessel the USS Gerald R. Ford this
[03:52:04] is not a joke a set of emails was obtained by NPR a US public broadcasting
[03:52:09] group revealing that toilet walls have broken out on board the most expensive
[03:52:13] ship the US Navy ever built and the Wall Street Journal followed up to confirm the
[03:52:17] tale today. TLDR summary there are two few functioning toilets for 4,600 sailors
[03:52:24] and the problem is worsening daily. Problem one design plan is screwed up by
[03:52:28] including two few toilets for 4,000 plus sailors leading to 45 minute queues on a
[03:52:33] daily basis. Problem two engineers screwed up by installing a fragile vacuum
[03:52:39] system in which a single valve breakdown of one toilet can stop all the toilets in an entire
[03:52:44] department functioning. I'm in favor of this because the the toilet situation has unironically
[03:52:52] put a pause on the Iranian strikes which means that I will be able to play video games with
[03:52:59] ADAPT on Wednesday. I'm not even joking like the the strike target I think and they might
[03:53:08] still do it without this carrier making its way to Israel or Iran or wherever the fuck
[03:53:15] is supposed to go, but I'm supposed to be playing video games that adapt on on Wednesday.
[03:53:22] We're playing reanimal together.
[03:53:27] And I was really worried that the state of the Union is tomorrow night and that Trump
[03:53:32] will probably facilitate the strikes on Iran after the State of the Union, which happens
[03:53:40] to be Wednesday, which happens to be when I was supposed to play video games. And I think
[03:53:44] the dookie from the butt from this aircraft carrier, unironically, is putting a damper
[03:53:52] on those plans.
[03:53:53] The dookie is even longer. Problem three, some of the temporary repair operations, such
[03:53:59] says using an acid flush to clear out calcium build-ups can only be done while the ship is docked.
[03:54:04] No prospect of that. But with so many toilets out of order, too much pressure is put on the one
[03:54:09] still working. So the problem will just spread. And issues have already been mounting for more
[03:54:15] than a year. A March 18th 2025 email from the engineering department sent out to all chiefs
[03:54:22] on the ship said there were 205 toilet breakdowns in four days, the NPR reported.
[03:54:30] The ship is at the heart of US overseas attack operations, working for months in waters near
[03:54:36] Venezuela to support the abduction of the country's president and the seizing of ships
[03:54:42] carrying oil to customers around the world.
[03:54:45] Ship is now heading the planned regime change operation in Iran.
[03:54:49] Israel wants a pro-Nyahu leader installed, as the US has done in many other countries.
[03:54:55] But how can they attack Iran while staff are queuing for the loo?
[03:54:59] One result of all this is a war of words between sailors and on-board sewage staff called
[03:55:04] Hull Technicians or HTs.
[03:55:07] One sewage engineering chief complained that sailors, but also problematic material down
[03:55:13] the toilets.
[03:55:14] Even T-shirts were found clogging the pipes.
[03:55:17] the solution system is being mistreated and destroyed by sailors on a daily basis.
[03:55:22] My HTs are currently working 19 hours a day right now trying to keep up with the
[03:55:27] demand. The US tax pass and 13 billion US dollars on this ship.
[03:55:33] On the plus side,
[03:55:34] it'd be delightful if the carrier's desperate lack of functioning toilets cause
[03:55:37] the attack on Iran to be canceled all those pounds.
[03:55:43] Got a look on the bright side of life, right?
[03:55:44] I don't know who this guy is, but I love him.
[03:55:50] The person who did this video, what a fantastic voice he has.
[03:55:59] Potentially internal sabotage.
[03:56:01] I'm not going to say anything.
[03:56:07] Look, all I will say is this.
[03:56:14] If you want to build a working movement, you can't fucking disparage veterans and active duty service members.
[03:56:23] If you want to organize, perhaps one of the best areas that you can organize in is active duty service members.
[03:56:30] I have a fundamental opposition to the likes of those like Bad Empanada and many other people who keep saying,
[03:56:39] Oh, we're troop exploders fuck the troops. They're all fucking Nazis all this shit. I will never ever do that
[03:56:47] Okay, I will never ever ever do that
[03:56:56] Fecal subterfuge no, no, no, no, they're just being dumbasses most likely
[03:57:04] There's also another person putting a damper on the plans further complicating any final decision on military
[03:57:09] strikes Arab leaders have been calling counterparts in Washington to complain about comments from
[03:57:13] Mike Huckabee, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel.
[03:57:16] In an interview with Tucker Carlson, the conservative commentator that aired on Friday,
[03:57:20] Mr. Huckabee said Israel had a right to much of the Middle East, outraging Arab diplomats
[03:57:23] and countries that the United States is hoping will support, or at least not openly
[03:57:26] oppose, an American attack on Iran.
[03:57:30] And the last part of this equation is, aside from the dookie overflowing on the
[03:57:34] ship, the last part of the equation is,
[03:57:37] What is this your promise your promise the world and brainwash when you're there what?
[03:57:45] Yeah
[03:57:48] Unexpected dividend from Iran strategy of deterrence through proxies rightly called the question after Israel subdued has below and bombed Iran
[03:57:53] The Houthis ate up US air defense munitions raising risk to US forces today if Iran is attacked
[03:58:00] There's also that side of the story and
[03:58:02] And there's also the fucking generals, including General Raising Cain, mind you,
[03:58:10] who's openly fucking telling the president that it might not work.
[03:58:19] That's right. Right now, internally, as an outsider looking in, right now, there are
[03:58:27] Virtually all the forces that are in Trump's orbit are telling him that this is a disastrous
[03:58:34] idea, that you should not follow through on this, that this is going to have devastating
[03:58:39] consequences. There is no guarantee that it's going to fucking work. It's, it's all garbanzo.
[03:58:46] Okay. This is the third story today about the Pentagon raising doubts about a significant
[03:58:52] military operation inside of Iran. This time from the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal
[03:58:56] wrote about it axios wrote about it
[03:59:00] the american military does not fucking go to mainstream news
[03:59:04] to tell them
[03:59:05] that they have concerns
[03:59:07] unless those concerns are pretty fucking big
[03:59:11] okay
[03:59:12] trump might say it's fake news
[03:59:15] but it doesn't matter
[03:59:16] these concerns are definitely so valid
[03:59:19] that there are people in the military
[03:59:21] that went to their
[03:59:22] client media counterparts
[03:59:25] openly revealed that there are some really big problems, okay?
[03:59:31] Washington Post says, as the Trump administration weighs an attack on Iran, the Pentagon's top
[03:59:35] general has cautioned President Donald Trump and other officials, the shortfalls in critical
[03:59:39] munitions and lack of support from allies will add significant risks to the operation
[03:59:43] and to US personnel.
[03:59:45] Yeah, Trump says it's fake news.
[03:59:47] It doesn't matter.
[03:59:48] The reason why he, him saying it's fake news, it makes me believe that this is
[03:59:52] not fake news at all.
[03:59:53] real news.
[03:59:56] Taking out Iran's missile program would require hitting hundreds of targets across a country
[03:59:59] more than three times the size of Iraq.
[04:00:01] If the objective is to overthrow Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as Trump has
[04:00:05] mused publicly, the target set would expand dramatically to thousands of sites, including
[04:00:09] command and control nodes, security services and key buildings tied to Khamenei.
[04:00:14] Such a campaign could extend for weeks or months, require much more munitions, and
[04:00:17] expose you as forces of more intense retaliation, the former defense official said.
[04:00:22] munitions critical to the defense of u.s. military personnel against iranian launched ballistic
[04:00:27] missiles terminal high altitude area defense or that interceptors and patriot missile systems
[04:00:34] have been extensively used in recent military operations in the middle east as in in israel
[04:00:40] okay specifically in israel because they put all the fat missile launchers in israel not all of
[04:00:48] them, what a big chunk of them. And Israel depleted them when they were doing the 12-day war.
[04:00:56] You can't, you don't have enough runway to fulfill the demands, the needs
[04:01:04] of Israel. You can't just go and fucking invent
[04:01:06] and fad missile, uh, fad missiles overnight, okay. It takes a while to replenish the stocks
[04:01:17] once they are depleted. Iran 100% was able to deplete their fucking defense systems
[04:01:28] in the 12-day war.
[04:01:35] As I said, even back then, that this was actually a much bigger success for Iran than the way
[04:01:43] Israel presented it, than the way that Americans presented it, just so you understand.
[04:01:49] The official number that they are releasing is that the US used about a quarter of its
[04:01:55] high-end missile interceptors in the Israel-Iran War exposing a supply gap.
[04:02:00] That was back in July 31st, 2025.
[04:02:05] The real numbers are probably even more devastating.
[04:02:09] So the question I have for you is, who is this for?
[04:02:14] Okay.
[04:02:16] Who is this for?
[04:02:19] Clearly, the American military commanders don't think this is the adequate thing to do, don't
[04:02:27] think this is the appropriate thing to do, that they're exposing their soldiers to tremendous
[04:02:33] amounts of danger.
[04:02:38] The allies in the region have been begging, if not demanding, America stand down because
[04:02:44] They too also recognize the imminent threat that Iran presents.
[04:02:50] There's only one group that wants this to happen, a group that has wanted this to happen
[04:02:56] for the last, I don't know, 60 fucking years.
[04:03:03] It's Israel.
[04:03:05] This is what happens when you put Israel in the driver's seat.
[04:03:09] Barack Obama was the last time the United States of America had a separate policy in
[04:03:17] the Middle East that did not abide by Israel's designs.
[04:03:24] Israel got Donald Trump to be elected with foreign intervention, with unlimited funds.
[04:03:31] Israel played a major role in Trump getting elected.
[04:03:35] Then Trump lost.
[04:03:37] Joe Biden was also an ultra Zionist and therefore, once October 7 happened, there was no daylight
[04:03:44] between what Trump would have done and what Joe Biden ended up doing with respect to defending
[04:03:51] Israel and allowing Israel to be in the driver's seat.
[04:03:57] There is a major fissure in American foreign policy.
[04:04:01] JCPOA was the last time that the American foreign policy apparatus did not act in unison with
[04:04:12] Israel or straight up allow Israel to command and to direct American foreign policy in the
[04:04:18] men a region.
[04:04:19] I will stand on that.
[04:04:21] I have many criticisms for Barack Obama.
[04:04:23] This is not one of them.
[04:04:25] You can say he still was far too militant, far too violent, far too bloody in the region,
[04:04:32] far too destabilizing.
[04:04:33] He went back on his promises.
[04:04:35] He did the troops surge in Iraq.
[04:04:37] All of that might have been beneficial to Israel's interests.
[04:04:41] However, that was the American government controlling what the Middle Eastern policy
[04:04:48] was.
[04:04:49] Donald Trump came in and said, we will do anything Israel wants.
[04:04:54] Okay?
[04:04:55] This is a major, major difference.
[04:05:00] Once again, marginal differences in terms of foreign policy lead to disastrous and major
[04:05:07] outcomes for the people that are on the receiving end of that policy change.
[04:05:14] Trump greatly accelerated the drone warfare program that Obama had previously greatly
[04:05:20] accelerated.
[04:05:22] took advantage of Obama's disinterest in changing our menopolicy in general.
[04:05:29] But as far as the JCPOA goes, as far as Barack Obama's Cuba policy goes, Barack Obama was
[04:05:37] the last time America had sovereignty in its foreign policy.
[04:05:43] Post-Barack Obama, the presidents that came afterwards, regardless of how bipartisan the
[04:05:47] war machine is, and it certainly is bipartisan. Okay? Donald Trump basically said, Israel, hold
[04:05:57] the wheel, we'll do whatever the fuck you want, down to assassinating Customs Soleimani.
[04:06:03] Okay? Joe Biden was also a major dick writer of Israel, a major ultra Zionist, which
[04:06:14] is precisely the reason why Joe Biden did not reverse any of Trump's acceleration as policies.
[04:06:22] Okay. And then Trump came back into power partially because of Joe Biden's
[04:06:29] inability to understand that this super pro-Israel position was going to be devastating for both
[04:06:35] the Palestinian population and devastating for the Democratic party's chances of making sure
[04:06:39] that a fascist did not come back into power. I thought you said you wanted Iran to develop
[04:06:46] nukes. I do, especially after the failure of the JCPOA. But the JCPOA, if the president
[04:06:57] after Barack Obama followed on the commitments of the JCPOA and told Israel to suck their
[04:07:01] dick, that would have been far better for the Iranian population.
[04:07:13] But here we are.
[04:07:15] Iran, if they want to have sovereignty, if they don't want to turn into Libya, if they
[04:07:21] don't want to turn into Iraq, if they don't want to turn into Afghanistan, Iran must
[04:07:26] develop nukes.
[04:07:29] That's it.
[04:07:30] You cannot be a nation in the periphery and have sovereignty without developing nukes.
[04:07:36] You must develop nuclear arms.
[04:07:39] That is just the truth of the world in 2026.
[04:07:46] Shut the fuck up, it's true.
[04:07:51] I'm gonna get deployed into the Middle East in a few months.
[04:07:54] See if Iran had nukes you probably wouldn't be getting deployed into the Middle East
[04:07:57] in a few months.
[04:07:58] way too radical for that listen up dumb grunt if you don't want to fucking shit
[04:08:02] and have that dookie get flushed back in your face on USS Gerald okay then you
[04:08:10] should be hoping that Iran develops nukes okay you understand
[04:08:16] because otherwise Israel gets the fucking dictate forum policy and you go
[04:08:22] out there and you die for Israel like the good little boy you are
[04:08:28] I have fun trying to flush out the dookie in the head, okay?
[04:08:48] You don't care about the Iranian people even if people are living in dictatorship.
[04:08:53] You don't want Iran to be a democracy.
[04:08:56] If you think Iranians will be able to achieve democracy by way of American and Israeli bombing
[04:09:01] campaigns, you are the biggest delusional part, you are the biggest, you are the biggest dumb
[04:09:07] ass I have ever encountered.
[04:09:11] America doesn't even care about democracy in America.
[04:09:14] Israel doesn't even care about offering humanitarian rights to the Palestinians it kills.
[04:09:20] I agree with you, but this take you will never get the normies on board with.
[04:09:22] I don't care.
[04:09:24] Sometimes, someone has to fucking say the truth, okay?
[04:09:31] Someone has to say the truth.
[04:09:33] This is the truth.
[04:09:36] Look to all of America's foreign entanglements and missions of destabilization and the periphery
[04:09:42] and understand that there's one common uniting factor there.
[04:09:46] And if you want to actually look to a country that is more sympathetic to the American
[04:09:51] design Ukraine comes to mind Ukraine gives up its nukes no sovereignty for
[04:09:58] Ukraine look what's happening to Ukraine now okay that's it if you if you cannot if
[04:10:07] you want to look at a white nation if you can only understand the humanity of
[04:10:14] white people look to a country like Ukraine now of course Ukrainian nukes
[04:10:19] were still controlled by the Kremlin, but it doesn't matter. Ukraine gave up its nukes
[04:10:28] for security assurances from both the Russian side and also the western side. Okay. And that's
[04:10:37] where we're at now. I mean, there was a guy, there was another guy who I actually think
[04:10:41] is very funny, a gorilla, Ocint, Ocint gorilla who was making fun of my take about
[04:10:47] North Korea, right? Where is it? Hold on. I replied to him
[04:10:56] Osset gorilla said people often forget the most important part of being woke slave labor when referencing the North Korean labor conditions
[04:11:03] I said true. They should have no nukes so they can slave labor the right way in parentheses Libya
[04:11:08] The fuck does my take have to do with anything but sovereignty
[04:11:12] He said you don't got to hand it to Kim Jong-un. Well on this issue
[04:11:16] I am handing it to Kim Jong-un because he was right. I was wrong. He was right
[04:11:25] Osset gorilla is actually very funny normally, it's not you know, this is I guess one area that
[04:11:31] Where he the western chauvinism kicks in a little bit
[04:11:42] Look. This doesn't mean for the record that, you know, the situation is sweet in North
[04:11:56] Korea. Biggest mistake Iran ever made was giving up on getting the news of the, oh, this is
[04:12:06] not funny or normal says H3H3 productions. The esteemed, esteemed politics
[04:12:17] understander has has joined in on on what countries must do.
[04:12:26] The people yearn to be bombed to get bombed.
[04:12:33] Well, first off, thank you Congresswoman for posting your report on the first place.
[04:12:38] A.L. thinks the U.S. should launch a war on the Middle East regime because it has been killing three and four-year-old children.
[04:12:42] He does not see the irony or contradiction of his position.
[04:12:45] I'm ending it up to dialogue for your constituents.
[04:12:48] I just kind of wanted to go back on some of the-
[04:12:51] by the way all I'm gonna say is someone comes to me and is like I'm a
[04:13:01] constituent and my demand is that we bomb Iran I think y'all know what my
[04:13:06] answer is gonna be in the beginning regarding the Iran situation and try to
[04:13:11] counter the things that you said just because I wanted more elaboration so
[04:13:16] So when we're talking about this issue, you're saying that you don't want the U.S. to go into
[04:13:22] another war with the Middle East, but what we're trying to emphasize here is that targeted
[04:13:28] strikes on military facilities, IRGC bases, and those...
[04:13:34] Yeah, a Lapid American! Murder! Genocide! We need blood! More blood from the blood gun!
[04:13:46] Yeah!
[04:13:52] Are you telling me that a 20-year military occupation and yet another quagmire is going to lead to instability in the region
[04:13:59] and potentially destroy the American Empire, I don't care!
[04:14:04] I need blood! I need soil! I need blood and soil!
[04:14:09] FOR DEMOCRACY!
[04:14:19] Yeah, I see stuff like this is so hard for me now to be like,
[04:14:22] My war is no longer with the American ruling class,
[04:14:26] it is with the American people straight up.
[04:14:30] Like, it's just, we are fucking insane, dude.
[04:14:34] We are baying for blood.
[04:14:36] We are baying for blood.
[04:14:40] Yes!
[04:14:45] Do you think that the room is Ashletor?
[04:14:46] No, I think the average American literally
[04:14:49] has Hitler particles in their blood.
[04:14:51] I think that's what I...
[04:14:52] I have people in Iran that are begging for it. I don't care. That's still stupid. Okay?
[04:15:16] Okay? Here, here's my take as an American. If you want like a selfish American somewhat
[04:15:21] right wing take on this, why is it my fucking problem? Like why? Why am I spending tax dollars
[04:15:31] killing your fucking relatives? There is a right wing argument here that you can make
[04:15:36] if you want to. Obviously the normal argument to make here is how is me blowing up your
[04:15:41] country going to somehow bring about democracy. What the fuck are you saying? What is coming
[04:15:49] out of your mouth right now? Like, I know you're too young to remember Iraq, Afghanistan,
[04:15:56] Libya, but it is that happened. That happened like very, that happened while you were a
[04:16:01] baby, but you saw the impact of that.
[04:16:03] I
[04:16:08] Try to discuss this with Congress every second that is we first your Congress is fuck your other than our mind
[04:16:14] Don't want you as to come in now what I mean. It doesn't matter because your relatives are never gonna be hurt. It doesn't matter
[04:16:30] Yeah, it's like yeah
[04:16:33] How do you how do you become this way? I just don't get it
[04:16:38] I'm so glad you haven't covered the insane things Iranian diaspora saying online is brain breaking. I know I I see it
[04:16:44] I see it all the time, but it's also the same exact fucking bullshit that I hear from the Cuban diaspora
[04:16:52] It's the same exact bullshit that we heard from the Iraqi diaspora the diaspora everywhere around the world
[04:16:59] world. It's always the same. Same with the Venezuelan diaspora, who is, you know, they're
[04:17:08] awfully quiet as of late because Delcey Rodriguez is now in charge. So what happened? You didn't
[04:17:13] overthrow Shavista. You just got a more pliant Shavista regime.
[04:17:17] And they should be murdered by American bombs instead, Congressman.
[04:17:39] Why do you want them to be murdered by the IRGC and not JDAMs that my parents' tax dollars
[04:17:45] paid for. I don't think you heard her. She's 17 bro. She's not a voter. Okay. It doesn't
[04:17:55] matter. She is clearly winning that room. Okay. And of course, because there's no sane
[04:18:04] anti war, anti military, anti fucking imperialist voice in American politics, no one could
[04:18:10] just sit there and be like, yeah, I understand what you are saying.
[04:18:15] What you are saying is, I appreciate your voice. I see you, I hear you. You know, shit
[04:18:20] that Democrats tell you all the time when you're like, can I please get a crumb of healthcare
[04:18:23] when they say I see you, I hear you, it's not gonna fucking happen. Shut the fuck up.
[04:18:27] They should do that to these people. They should literally do that. They should be
[04:18:30] like, listen, your voice matters. I really love that you are brave to speak out
[04:18:37] like this. It's a freedom that many Iranians don't have in Iran. Unfortunately, however,
[04:18:43] I don't believe that American military incursion and targeted strikes in Iran is going to actually
[04:18:49] bring about democracy. This is a lie that has been told over and over and over again
[04:18:53] from neo cons onward since 2001. It has never been a real thing. We have never brought
[04:18:59] about democracy in a place where we've had any sort of imperial design over. It's
[04:19:04] not going to happen
[04:19:06] okay
[04:19:10] they have no
[04:19:11] problem being fucking indecent
[04:19:14] and and lying to our faces
[04:19:17] and and uh... you know
[04:19:20] operating at the best of the military industrial complex but there's not a
[04:19:23] single fucking person that has the decency to do that in the
[04:19:27] morally righteous position.
[04:19:37] Or is open.
[04:19:52] And it is just heartbreaking.
[04:19:53] So I just, I don't understand where is the obstacle in taking action against this regime.
[04:19:59] You know, everybody is entitled to their opinions about the president, of course.
[04:20:03] But when it comes to targeting a regime that has been killing non-stop children,
[04:20:09] three-year-olds for 47 years now, where is the obstacle?
[04:20:12] Please tell me, Congressman, because I and all the Iranian Americans
[04:20:16] that you see here just cannot fathom that at all.
[04:20:19] So that would impress my country.
[04:20:21] I appreciate it.
[04:20:22] You're welcome.
[04:20:23] You're welcome.
[04:20:24] Thank you.
[04:20:24] Thank you.
[04:20:25] Thank you.
[04:20:25] Thank you.
[04:20:26] Thank you.
[04:20:26] Thank you.
[04:20:27] Thank you.
[04:20:27] Thank you.
[04:20:28] Thank you.
[04:20:28] Thank you.
[04:20:29] Thank you.
[04:20:29] Thank you.
[04:20:30] Thank you.
[04:20:30] Thank you.
[04:20:31] Thank you.
[04:20:31] Thanks for coming.
[04:20:32] I do comment on our project again.
[04:20:35] I share better to give you an order on what's happening with young people and your
[04:20:40] knowledge.
[04:20:41] I have said it before.
[04:20:42] I think it's a dream of domestic or disability.
[04:20:44] I am not under any illusion that this is anything that I need to overdate.
[04:20:49] I do not have any sympathy for the Iranian regime.
[04:20:52] I had a lot of sympathy for the protesters in Iran.
[04:20:57] The question is, what is going to be affected?
[04:21:00] Last time that happened, I don't think
[04:21:02] the battle action in Iran, it obviously didn't work.
[04:21:05] Because we're in a situation where
[04:21:07] after you cook them all, they're nothing.
[04:21:10] It's very nothing.
[04:21:17] Cook them, bro!
[04:21:19] They literally got mad that he's saying we bombed them last time look how that turned out. God Americans are disgusting
[04:21:35] What the fuck is wrong with my countrymen bro these guys are not plants chatters
[04:21:42] These guys are not plants at all. They're just fucking insane
[04:21:49] They have one speed and one speed only. They want war and death and destruction and blood and soil.
[04:21:58] They have been taught their whole lives that the only fucking way that you can approach any problem is with the nail of US imperialism.
[04:22:09] Fucking JDAMs. God damn, this room is not entirely comprised of Persians, okay?
[04:22:15] Okay? Like, before you make that mistake, these are everyday liberal Americans at a fucking
[04:22:20] roconna town hall, and they sound like psychopaths.
[04:22:31] Can script every single one of them? No, I mean, that's not gonna solve it either.
[04:22:45] Yeah, thank you, Dana. Check this out now. Give a listen.
[04:22:52] And on building out a nuclear program, this is their prophecy that says, no, we're not
[04:22:58] going to capitulate to the infidels to the big Satan, the United States of America.
[04:23:02] So I'm unsurprised that they haven't agreed to the basic ask we have, which is like
[04:23:06] just just behave like a normal nation. I suspect they will not do that. And I anticipate
[04:23:12] President Trump will take a response that will put even more pressure on the regime.
[04:23:16] Okay here we go now I want to take you back to the region show you on the map here about
[04:23:20] the advanced US military buildup. See these red dots here these are basic
[04:23:26] behave like a normal country and what defying your defenses get the fuck out of here.
[04:23:33] They are behaving like a normal country dumbass.
[04:23:42] is that host US aircraft, right? So it's Jordan, Saudi Arabia.
[04:23:53] I think what you're not seeing is that as an Iranian, you see the regime is just killing
[04:23:57] civilians and there's nothing you can do as an US invasion destabilized the country.
[04:24:00] There's no Bible, law, or fuck regardless. Yeah, I know, which is why I'm saying
[04:24:08] the least fucked option
[04:24:10] in this sorghum stances on ironically to not demand america bomb your country
[04:24:17] they're going to kill your family members
[04:24:20] if you have any relatives in iran america is going to kill them
[04:24:30] and this is not the entirety of the nation demanding blood anyway there's
[04:24:33] plenty of people there's plenty of people who don't like the regime but
[04:24:36] don't also want to get fucking bombed by america
[04:24:39] and there's plenty of people
[04:24:40] who don't like the regime or who love the regime and again don't want to get
[04:24:44] bombed by
[04:24:45] uh... the united states of america
[04:24:56] rabbi at some on
[04:24:57] everything in yellow is where the u s navy has established a presence there
[04:25:01] on the ocean right eastern Mediterranean
[04:25:04] Persian Gulf here, Red Sea, and also off the coast of Oman as well, and you've got, well,
[04:25:10] the Lincoln and the three destroyers that accompany that, and you've got just a massive
[04:25:16] amount of material that you have options for.
[04:25:18] And now, if I could, sorry, this is above, there's a satellite picture from the Natanz
[04:25:25] nuclear facility, of which there were three.
[04:25:27] There's four dead other Natanz and Isfahan.
[04:25:29] This is Natanz, and this is December of 2025, which was really two weeks ago
[04:25:34] So what I want to show you here is that this appears to have been taken out, all right?
[04:25:41] Back in midnight, hammer, late June of last year.
[04:25:44] And then this, it's a little hard to see here, but if you look very closely, you can see
[04:25:47] the white top of a roof or a tent that's been established.
[04:25:51] And based on some of the reporting, at least two of those three sides, they've
[04:25:54] set up this tent, this roof.
[04:25:56] And what they're doing, we do not know.
[04:25:58] General Jack Keen might, he joins me now and said good morning to you.
[04:26:01] It's my understanding that Atans doesn't even have electricity.
[04:26:05] What's your best guess and where do you think the commander in chief's head is right now
[04:26:10] about hitting Iran?
[04:26:11] Well, first of all, on the sites that we certainly destroyed, what Iran has been doing is attempting
[04:26:18] to assess how much damage can they recover.
[04:26:21] That site isn't really worth the effort.
[04:26:24] Also publicly reported, we know they're looking at another site that we did not hit.
[04:26:29] It was not a nuclear site, so they can actually develop new capability at that site.
[04:26:34] But we're tracking all of this.
[04:26:36] The Israelis are tracking it, and we're tracking it.
[04:26:39] And believe me, we're not going to let them get too far advanced anyplace without having
[04:26:45] to either one day voluntarily stop work through negotiations and agree to a substantive
[04:26:50] deal or two that it would be on the target list in addition to a very comprehensive
[04:26:56] target list.
[04:26:57] I'm sorry. I thought it was fake news that they destroyed the fucking nuclear facilities. What happened? I
[04:27:03] Thought it was fucking fake news. What's going on? That's what the Trump administration told me
[04:27:08] Hmm. That's weird if we do conduct a military operation, which I do think we will okay
[04:27:13] We just got a two-minute warning to the president so we might get interrupted here, sir
[04:27:17] I want you to listen Steve Woodcock is on with Laura Trump on Saturday my view with Laura
[04:27:21] And this is what he said about the nuclear capability watch the wording now within a week
[04:27:26] says they could be. Watch. They've been enriching well beyond the number that you
[04:27:34] need for for civil nuclear. It's it's it's up to 60%. They're probably a week
[04:27:40] away from having industrial industrial grade bomb making material and that's
[04:27:48] really dangerous. This is something that they
[04:27:56] Also, oh, they're a week away. That's so crazy. They're always a fucking week away after stick
[04:28:09] with until they prove to us that, um, you know, they can behave or how do you interpret that
[04:28:15] comment when we were told that their nuclear program was obliterated and destroyed in that
[04:28:21] rate on midnight hammer third week of June last year.
[04:28:24] Well, I don't know what the basis for that is, but certainly if that's the case, there
[04:28:30] still would be months away.
[04:28:32] Getting actually to weapons grade is 90 percent to go from anything north of 20 to 90 doesn't
[04:28:37] take that much time.
[04:28:39] But listen to what the absurdity of all this.
[04:28:41] They sit across from one negotiators and say, we are not building a nuclear weapon.
[04:28:46] In rich uranium, you need just for civil nuclear power,
[04:28:49] it's three to five percent.
[04:28:51] And they are way beyond that.
[04:28:52] And they have sites buried underneath the ground.
[04:28:54] But yet, they lie and lie.
[04:28:57] So why would we ever agree to a deal with these people
[04:29:01] when we know they're lying to us right now,
[04:29:03] they've lied to us for the last 46 years,
[04:29:06] and they will continue to lie and cheat?
[04:29:08] In my judgment, we should do nothing
[04:29:11] to extend the life of this regime
[04:29:13] when we have an historic opportunity right now,
[04:29:15] given it so weak and fragile, to finally set the conditions for a regime collapse.
[04:29:21] We have never been in this position in 46 years, and the only reason we're in this position
[04:29:27] because of Netanyahu and Trump, the 12-day war, and what they did to weaken Iran, not
[04:29:34] just militarily, but psychologically, politically, and as we all know, they've already in a
[04:29:39] tank economically.
[04:29:41] This is a fragile, vulnerable nation that does have some retaliation capability.
[04:29:45] I'm not dismissive of that, and that's why we're putting resources in the region to protect
[04:29:50] our bases and to protect Israel.
[04:29:53] But the historic opportunity is here.
[04:29:55] It is right in front of us, and that's why I think it's the preferred option.
[04:29:59] If we get this regime to collapse and we start working with another regime like we're
[04:30:03] doing in Venezuela, people that we can bend to our will, we have the opportunity
[04:30:09] for peace and stability that could be enduring for decades to come.
[04:30:14] We have not seen that in the last 46 years.
[04:30:18] That is what is in front of us.
[04:30:19] Yeah, you're dealing with a, I'll try and squeeze one more in here.
[04:30:22] You're dealing with a leader who's 87 years old in April and he's driven by theology.
[04:30:27] That's a hard thing to uproot.
[04:30:30] In the meantime, The New York Times reports this on screen, Trump considers targeted
[04:30:34] strike against Iran, followed by a larger attack.
[04:30:38] Trump has been leading toward conducting an initial strike in coming days, intended to
[04:30:41] demonstrate to Iran's leaders that they must be willing to agree to give up the ability
[04:30:45] to make a nuclear weapon.
[04:30:46] End quotes.
[04:30:47] Do you see that as a possibility?
[04:30:50] Hit them, show them that you mean it, and then pull back for a larger one later?
[04:30:54] Well, I think the history is clear.
[04:30:57] Whatever Iran says or whatever Iran pretends to do is not real.
[04:31:00] They will cheat.
[04:31:01] And even the nuclear weapons threat, that's not even...
[04:31:05] Everything they're saying about Iran is applicable to America, actually.
[04:31:12] Everything down to like, this is a nut case.
[04:31:16] This is a nut house, a theological leadership, there's zealots.
[04:31:25] A good deal in itself.
[04:31:35] What about the ballistic missiles?
[04:31:37] That's what they've been recovering since the June War.
[04:31:39] That's what's got Israel so concerned.
[04:31:41] That's why we have so many assets in the region to protect our own bases from that.
[04:31:46] They would have to agree to limit the range of those ballistic missiles, 300 kilometers,
[04:31:54] So they couldn't hit Israel and also limit the numbers of those and they would have to stop supporting the proxies
[04:32:02] bro
[04:32:05] What you just said is the quiet part out loud
[04:32:11] When he says they want to limit the range of missiles
[04:32:15] To 300 kilometers
[04:32:16] He's literally saying you can kill Americans in American military bases in the region like right across the fucking water is cutter
[04:32:22] That's where US tank comment. He literally is openly saying you just have to limit the range
[04:32:29] To Israel, we don't give a fuck about anything else. You can kill American soldiers if you want to
[04:32:35] Just please please spare
[04:32:39] Spare Israel after all they've been destabilizing the region for multiple decades by supporting the proxies the whole
[04:32:46] October the 7th is all about Iran fueling Hamas and Hezbollah to try to
[04:32:53] destroy the state of Israel. Where is our memory? That was just two years ago. So
[04:32:58] they haven't changed their stripes and yes they are they are ideologues,
[04:33:04] theological ideologues and we it would be much better to remove them and work
[04:33:10] with nationalists. They may be hardcore, but that you can bend to our
[04:33:14] will and that is a much better option pardon my interruption the presence out
[04:33:19] now thank you general jack today hey everyone I'm Emily Campanio catch me I
[04:33:24] really like Nick but sometimes you read you twist about the wall what is USA
[04:33:30] all wanted per day models day-by-day way of listening to what are you happy with
[04:33:35] the rent having any people yeah absolutely well we sorry I'm sorry you
[04:33:39] Hang on a second. Do you know what I thought you said? Yes.
[04:33:43] You are happy with Iran developing nuclear capabilities.
[04:33:47] 100%. Why should they not?
[04:33:51] Why should they not? Because they're run by someone who's a leadership that have admitted to killing 3,500 in their own and imprisoning 40,000 people.
[04:33:59] That does not sound to me like a responsible person.
[04:34:01] You better say, you better say.
[04:34:03] Don't be silly. If you're going to talk to me about ice shootings, which are despicable,
[04:34:07] America kills hundreds of thousands of people and doesn't even think about it.
[04:34:16] America is killing more Iranians with their sanctions and we have a nuke.
[04:34:19] We're the only country that has deployed nukes on civilians.
[04:34:24] Also there's little America right there.
[04:34:29] Israel.
[04:34:30] Israel has nukes.
[04:34:32] Israel is doing a genocide.
[04:34:33] Israel is on apartheid nation.
[04:34:35] is a far more malignant force upon the planet with nuclear arms than Iran. I'm glad that
[04:34:46] there are people who are coming to this conclusion though, like it's crazy.
[04:34:56] Reprehensible and wrong. It is not on the same scale.
[04:35:00] Take it up to what you just said. They're nuclear, they're, they're nuclear quick.
[04:35:03] Yes, they're also a democracy where they don't shoot 2,500 people in the streets and arrest
[04:35:08] 40,000 others.
[04:35:09] I just didn't know you can ask them, they're not democratic at all, they're just free.
[04:35:13] Listen, I respect you, but we're not going to be able to have a conversation, is it?
[04:35:16] Because what would you call the presidential elections if they're not democracy?
[04:35:20] They're not democracy, they're not people.
[04:35:22] What are they?
[04:35:23] They may have a democratic vote, but I mean the democratic country, they're two
[04:35:27] different things.
[04:35:28] Alright, so.
[04:35:29] Fighting for families, hasn't it?
[04:35:32] All right. All for Lieutenant Governor. We're gonna have him on in a little bit. I'm still... I'm...
[04:35:39] I'm almost done eating.
[04:35:43] Attorney was supposed to be my dream job.
[04:35:46] I'm Oliver Mock, a son of immigrants, an organizer, a civil rights lawyer.
[04:35:50] I've represented working families against their slumlords.
[04:35:53] I've marched from Palestine. I've sued Trump for tearing immigrant families apart.
[04:35:58] And one.
[04:36:01] But I'm tired of swimming upstream.
[04:36:03] Every year, politicians and corporations raise our ranks,
[04:36:06] tear apart our families, and send our money to fund genocide.
[04:36:10] Politics has become a game of stealing from the public pie.
[04:36:14] Corporate landlords, war criminals, prison companies.
[04:36:17] Anyone but California families.
[04:36:20] And that's why I'm running for the lieutenant governor.
[04:36:22] So every Californian can own their own home.
[04:36:25] So we nurture kids here instead of bombing kids abroad so immigrant parents can save their kids to sleep at night.
[04:36:32] We deserve a California that's affordable. We deserve a California for working families.
[04:36:37] We deserve a California led with courage.
[04:36:49] Scenes Harry Anton is running the numbers on this one for us.
[04:36:51] Harry, what's your take?
[04:36:53] Okay, um, I liked it that was a that was a campaign ad and there are still chatters in here being like who is this guy bro
[04:37:04] It's a literally listen to the words that are coming out of mouth. Well, you can also listen to him in person
[04:37:10] Because he's in the building
[04:37:15] I'm gonna clean up real quick, but
[04:37:17] Oliver ma running for car running for a lieutenant governor in the state of, California
[04:37:22] He's here.
[04:37:24] He was watching.
[04:37:26] He was staring at me eating for like the last 10 minutes.
[04:37:31] He came earlier.
[04:37:33] He was supposed to be here at 4 p.m.
[04:37:37] But he was early.
[04:37:40] Hold on.
[04:37:43] Is there a chair?
[04:37:45] Oh, there's one right there.
[04:37:47] All right, hold on.
[04:37:51] And you can say, you can say what up to the people.
[04:37:55] Nice to meet you.
[04:37:58] And I'm gonna go pee real quick.
[04:38:00] So I'll leave you alone with them.
[04:38:03] I'm gonna leave you alone with them.
[04:38:04] I'm throwing you into the frying pan.
[04:38:07] I'm gonna give you guys a tour of his house.
[04:38:08] Yeah, and you can answer their questions.
[04:38:11] It's really fast though.
[04:38:12] Oh my God.
[04:38:13] The chat is really fast.
[04:38:13] I trust you so much.
[04:38:14] You are so trustworthy.
[04:38:16] I'm giving you the mouse.
[04:38:17] You can just like scroll up and then stop the chat
[04:38:20] If you want to, if you want to say something to him, I got to pee real quick.
[04:38:23] Sorry.
[04:38:23] I see a lot of dogs.
[04:38:25] Oh my God.
[04:38:25] So many dogs.
[04:38:28] Guys, it's crazy how much Hasan eats.
[04:38:31] I just saw two old trays.
[04:38:37] Can we eat once?
[04:38:41] He doesn't have dinner.
[04:38:47] Oh my God.
[04:38:48] That was insane.
[04:38:50] All right, let's see what the chat's saying.
[04:38:52] He do be eating.
[04:38:54] He does.
[04:38:56] Oh, God, this is fantastic.
[04:39:00] What does a Lieutenant Governor do at Hassan Abbey?
[04:39:04] Well, you're going to find out.
[04:39:06] He doesn't do wrong.
[04:39:08] Oh, my God.
[04:39:10] Hello, Mr. Oliver.
[04:39:16] Mr. Oliver, do this in real life.
[04:39:22] Three key policies go.
[04:39:24] Three key policies is, one, we should get more dog content
[04:39:29] onto this podcast.
[04:39:31] Two, I kind of want to, guys, my red flag
[04:39:38] is I think I can beat every eating challenge
[04:39:41] in the state of California.
[04:39:42] But it sounds like Osama might give me a run for my money.
[04:39:45] You should tell them about the two different questions.
[04:39:49] There's been three.
[04:39:49] There were three eating competitions in law school,
[04:39:52] and I won all three.
[04:39:54] Are you a eater?
[04:39:55] I am, but I just don't know how much you eat.
[04:39:58] Yeah, that's my one meal a day.
[04:40:02] All right.
[04:40:03] Oliver's in the building, everybody.
[04:40:06] Here it is.
[04:40:07] Better. Welcome. Welcome to the broadcast. Uh, you are running for Lieutenant Governor of California. What does that mean? What is that word?
[04:40:20] So the Lieutenant Governor, a little bit different from Vice President and President. It's a separate office. It's a separate election. Um, and what the Lieutenant Governor can do is they are the President of the state Senate where I would be able to
[04:40:33] co-sponsor legislation.
[04:40:35] They are on the UC Board of Regents.
[04:40:37] That's where I wanna divest some of our stuff
[04:40:40] away from genocide in Palestine.
[04:40:42] And then they also chair the state commission
[04:40:43] on economic development.
[04:40:45] So they advise the state on where economy needs to go.
[04:40:48] Okay, what's your beef with the current
[04:40:51] Lieutenant Governor that you were like,
[04:40:53] they're not doing a good enough job.
[04:40:54] I think I could do better.
[04:40:55] The current Lieutenant Governor is not running.
[04:40:58] She's doing a switch
[04:40:59] with the current California State Treasurer.
[04:41:01] So Treasurer's running for Governor,
[04:41:02] Lieutenant Governor and Lieutenant Governor running for treasurer, but I do have beef with both of them.
[04:41:08] So, who are your ops? Let's take a look. What are their names? It's Fiona Ma is one of the candidates.
[04:41:19] And yeah, so she's the current state treasurer.
[04:41:24] What has she done as the current state treasurer that you don't think is appropriate,
[04:41:29] But you have issues with it. You're like, we need a, we need a different vision for California. She
[04:41:37] is very moderate. She's also, she's also harass one of her employees and the state of California
[04:41:46] had to pay out $350,000 for her, which I don't like. Okay. And yeah, I mean, I think we need a
[04:41:54] state that we're working people can thrive, where housing is cheap, where
[04:41:59] healthcare is free, where immigrant families are safe. And those are not
[04:42:03] stances that Fiona or I think any other candidate in this race has taken. Okay.
[04:42:09] It says here that she's a proven principled problem solver, which isn't
[04:42:13] really saying much about her opinions or her positions in general. She does
[04:42:17] have a lot of endorsements on here, however. Yes. So that usually tells me
[04:42:23] all I need to know about someone that's running for office, they care less about policy and
[04:42:29] less about what they can do for people and more about, you know, look all look at all
[04:42:34] these other Democrats and positions of power that have endorsed me. So the question I have
[04:42:40] for you is if you were to break down what some of your top line policy positions are,
[04:42:47] how would you describe them? I call it like the Zoran technique, but it's like
[04:42:50] If you were to give me five things that you want to be identified by policy
[04:42:55] prescriptions that you want to be identified by, what would those policy
[04:42:58] prescriptions be?
[04:42:59] Yeah, so I want to build a California where healthcare is free for Californians.
[04:43:05] I want to build a California where our state resources are invested in kids here,
[04:43:12] making sure kids have access to education, healthcare, housing, instead of
[04:43:15] bombing kids in Palestine.
[04:43:17] I want to build a California where immigrant families are safe and they are together with
[04:43:21] their families instead of being sent into for profit ICE prisons.
[04:43:26] And I want to build a California where housing is for regular people and not for corporate
[04:43:29] landlords.
[04:43:30] Okay.
[04:43:31] That's four.
[04:43:32] Well, you got to give me a fifth one.
[04:43:34] Hmm.
[04:43:35] Yeah.
[04:43:36] It's the bonus round and a California where white people tacos are banned.
[04:43:40] Okay.
[04:43:41] I like that.
[04:43:42] I like that last one.
[04:43:43] So, um, number one, you said healthcare.
[04:43:47] This has been attempted in the state legislature before.
[04:43:51] The current governor Gavin Newsom actively petitioned against it.
[04:43:54] He's also actively petitioning against another bill that Bernie Sanders in favor of, which
[04:43:59] is a billionaire's tax, like a tax of the super wealthy in the state.
[04:44:05] What are some setbacks in the state legislature structure that you would have to overcome
[04:44:10] as a lieutenant governor?
[04:44:12] So the lieutenant governor is president of the state senate.
[04:44:15] And so I would be able to co-sponsor legislation.
[04:44:18] But I mean, I'll be frank, all of these things that I told you about, protecting immigrant
[04:44:22] families, divestment, health care, housing, these are not things that any one person in
[04:44:29] our state government can't do.
[04:44:30] We have a system of checks and balances, and I think we should have a system of
[04:44:33] checks and balances.
[04:44:35] But what's really important for our race is building a power structure, a legacy.
[04:44:41] That's not about my campaign.
[04:44:42] that will keep on electing other socialists into office, right? We saw in New York with Zoran,
[04:44:48] they trained 100,000 volunteers in their campaign. And now that he's mayor, these folks are going
[04:44:52] around staffing rapid response networks, tenant unions, helping other progressives. We want to
[04:44:57] do the same thing in California so that when progressives who don't take corporate money
[04:45:01] run for office, they start two steps ahead instead of two steps behind. Yeah. So you
[04:45:06] You want to build a more robust movement that will apply pressure to people who are
[04:45:12] setting hurdles against this legislative agenda that you have.
[04:45:17] So that's on the healthcare front.
[04:45:20] You just mentioned socialism.
[04:45:22] You are the first statewide candidate for any position that has been endorsed by DSA.
[04:45:30] In history.
[04:45:31] In California.
[04:45:34] your experience in background with the DSA? Yeah, so I was born in Beijing. I was born
[04:45:39] in China. And so I signed as a socialist country and the power and the role that capitalism
[04:45:47] has in our country has always been really strange to me. It's a really felt really
[04:45:53] wrong. And so, yeah, I came to the US when I was seven grew up as an immigrant. There
[04:46:00] was one time where my grandma was picked up by federal agents. And that really sent me
[04:46:05] on my path. And I came to the ACLU to work as a civil rights lawyer, got involved with
[04:46:11] the Democratic Socialists chapter in Kern County, which does exist in Kern County.
[04:46:16] It's not as red as you think. And yeah, so once we launched the race, we were in
[04:46:21] close contact with some of my comrades in DSA. And eventually we got their endorsement.
[04:46:25] That's cool. Don't read the chat, by the way. I don't think it's a smart thing to do.
[04:46:32] I'll just look at you. Yeah, yeah. Don't look at chat. They're asking you what your thoughts
[04:46:40] are on the white Chinese movement, which I may or may not be a part of. I have heard
[04:46:45] about that. Are you a part of the movement? Some might say I am the movement. Talk to
[04:46:51] me and Mandarin, which is like me and who I can't. I'm getting there.
[04:46:56] This is like a, it's more so about the vibes in general. Can I,
[04:47:00] can I teach you some Mandarin today? Sure. What do you want to know?
[04:47:04] Um,
[04:47:05] you're cooking yourself with this right now. I'm just letting you know.
[04:47:09] I rarely ever bring up China when I'm talking to electeds or people who are
[04:47:14] running for office because I don't know if the,
[04:47:17] the, uh, the broad American population, I like,
[04:47:20] feel like they're they're gonna say that about you they're gonna be like oh he
[04:47:23] was born in Beijing he's he's Chinese like what do you have to say to people
[04:47:29] that would attack you that way I mean I I was always pretty growing up there
[04:47:38] were times where I was ashamed of being Chinese and it's something that I came
[04:47:42] to terms with and really saw that the problems that I face growing up are
[04:47:46] not my fault it's not the phone in my community it's not the photo being
[04:47:49] Chinese. It's the structural racism that we had in this country. So I don't mind talking
[04:47:54] and being really straightforward about my heritage in China. I think the Chinese government
[04:47:59] does a lot of things that I don't agree with, but it also does a lot of great things. You
[04:48:03] know, I grew up in a, when I was living in China in public housing, my grandma worked
[04:48:09] as a school teacher and she got a really nice apartment in the middle of Beijing
[04:48:14] as a result of that. So I grew up on the 23rd story of her apartment building
[04:48:17] in this really nice government-owned public housing unit.
[04:48:21] Yeah. And I wish we had that here.
[04:48:24] Okay. I mean, I agree with you 100%. And I wish more elected representatives, people
[04:48:30] who were running for office would be more open about this idea that public housing
[04:48:38] or socialized housing is actually not terrifying. I usually shy away from, again, using China
[04:48:45] as an example, and instead we'll use like, you know, white countries as an example, because
[04:48:49] you just got to work within your, you got to work with the audience you have, unfortunately.
[04:48:55] And you know, this has been done in many other places. Vienna is obviously a great
[04:48:58] example of this. Red Vienna is 65% public housing. The Vienna model is a pretty good
[04:49:05] one to follow. But in my experience, I think one of the biggest setbacks for public
[04:49:13] housing is this notion that Americans expect their housing prices to keep going up. This
[04:49:24] is a nest egg for older people. I believe 44% of Californians own their own homes. And
[04:49:33] That's 44% of the voter base that is infinitely more likely to vote.
[04:49:42] So I think that that's one of the major drawbacks as far as people not even being courageous
[04:49:48] enough to advance this agenda, to even bring it up.
[04:49:53] How do you feel about an argument that people might present about public housing, such
[04:50:00] as that?
[04:50:01] I think you know so when I was in law school I spent two years representing
[04:50:07] tenants against their slumlords and some of the stories from there are just
[04:50:12] heart-wrenching. I'll tell you one which is do you know what asbestos is right?
[04:50:18] Yeah and at the love eating it that's why I'm the way I am. So asbestos at the
[04:50:26] microscopic level it's these little hooks that if you breathe in they get
[04:50:30] stuck in your lungs. And so when people find asbestos in their housing units, this is freely
[04:50:35] go advice. When you find asbestos in your building, you should let your State Department
[04:50:40] of Health know about it. And you know, they'll make sure it's removed safely so you don't
[04:50:45] end up breathing it in. I was suing a sun lord. And during the course of the lawsuit,
[04:50:51] we found about 100 feet of asbestos in the basement. And we tell the landlord,
[04:50:57] There's all this asbestos. You have to be super careful with it like you know
[04:51:01] this could be really bad for people's health and a few months later we go back
[04:51:04] to that basement and everything was gone. All the asbestos have been ripped out by
[04:51:08] hand by his entrained workers. None of it done the right way and that basement
[04:51:13] is also where that entire building does laundry and so every single time
[04:51:17] people are in that basement doing laundry the machines are revving up
[04:51:19] these microscopic little hooks into people's lungs. 40 people use that
[04:51:24] basement for laundry. And so I think that is our current housing system which is
[04:51:31] a system that treats human beings as raw meat for the ravenous hunger of
[04:51:37] capitalism where because it's cheaper to rip these asbestos out by hand this
[04:51:43] landlord is gonna do it and give a high risk of cancer to 40 people 15
[04:51:48] children. I don't think that's a system that any of us should be living in
[04:51:53] And so we need housing justice. We need a housing system that regular people can afford and not a system for corporate landlords
[04:52:00] I mean you mentioned that
[04:52:02] 44% or whatever of people in California are homeowners, but more and more homes are owned by corporate landlords
[04:52:07] Yeah, last quarter a third of all homes in the country was purchased by investor landlords
[04:52:12] I don't want to live in a world where all of us are living in that building in Boston
[04:52:17] Where our children have to breathe in a asbestos where we're all renting from these mega corporations these billion-dollar private
[04:52:23] equity companies. I want to build a country, a California, where everyone can have access
[04:52:28] to cheap, good quality affordable housing, like I had, like my grandma had.
[04:52:32] Yeah. No, that's, I agree. I have another question about housing in particular. What
[04:52:42] do you think are some of the major setbacks as far as advancing a comprehensive housing
[04:52:50] agenda in the state of California, because Californians are actually much more woke on
[04:52:57] housing when they go out and vote than our legislators are unfortunately.
[04:53:03] And we vote for ballot measures on myself, a voter for plenty of them at this point where
[04:53:10] we add additional mansion taxes and things like that with the hopes that that money
[04:53:15] will then go to initiatives that will build more affordable housing or even shelters,
[04:53:23] which is not a real solution to the problem, but at least it's a band-aid.
[04:53:28] And from my experience, I feel like there's a lot of institutional hurdles where a lot
[04:53:35] of close associates with people in positions of power in California State turn around
[04:53:44] refuse to follow along with the agenda of the people, things that people want.
[04:53:50] How do you plan on addressing that problem as the Lieutenant Governor?
[04:53:56] I think that's part of a broader problem we have in our politics, which is anytime the
[04:54:04] government is tasked with doing something, it typically doesn't get done well, except
[04:54:11] when it's brutalizing our communities like ICE is doing,
[04:54:14] which maybe they're not doing well either.
[04:54:16] But one big thing for me is getting corruption
[04:54:21] out of our politics.
[04:54:22] Because I think the Democratic Party,
[04:54:24] their entire pitch to voters, is government
[04:54:26] is going to solve your problems.
[04:54:28] But when your politics is so corrupt
[04:54:30] and your party is so corrupt that any policy that you end
[04:54:35] up implementing, it's so watered down.
[04:54:37] And in fact, they're probably
[04:54:38] meant to benefit the people who
[04:54:39] gave you campaign contributions, you can't deliver for people,
[04:54:43] that is why you keep losing, right? We can point to the high
[04:54:45] speed rail. We can point to, you know, I'll meet Republicans who
[04:54:49] say, you know, I want people to have affordable housing,
[04:54:53] healthcare and education, but I don't trust our government to
[04:54:56] get it done. And I feel the same way. I totally see where
[04:54:59] they're coming from with our the corruption in our
[04:55:01] government. And so I think to to address all of these
[04:55:04] issues, it's not just about the corporate landlords, it's
[04:55:06] not just about building more housing, right? It's not just
[04:55:08] about shutting down these for-profit ICE prisons. It's not just about divesting from
[04:55:13] Israel. All these issues are connected with the corruption in our politics and we
[04:55:17] need to build a new system where candidates who actually help people who
[04:55:21] want to serve the people can win take office and build a California that
[04:55:24] works for everybody. What's your approach to taxing the rich? I think we
[04:55:31] should tax the billionaires until they are not billionaires. Okay, that's I
[04:55:37] I mean, I agree with you, hopefully one day.
[04:55:44] We were talking about the actions against ICE in general and making this a safer place for
[04:55:57] our migrant neighbors.
[04:55:58] What are some initiatives that you foresee you could potentially push for as the leader
[04:56:05] of the Senate?
[04:56:06] Yeah, so I'm a civil rights lawyer. I am often in these immigration detention centers and
[04:56:15] So much of the reason these things are happening is because ice is a money laundering scheme
[04:56:22] I'll meet people inside right who I'll tell you a story
[04:56:25] so I work in Bakersfield in the Central Valley with farm workers and
[04:56:29] The very first immigration raid in the entire country under Trump was in Bakersfield
[04:56:33] They came more than a year ago in January, and they rounded up hundreds of
[04:56:37] farm workers. That morning, I'm a volunteer with the Rapid Response Network.
[04:56:41] That morning we get a call, and they say there's this little girl in a field by
[04:56:45] herself. And so we're like, that's weird why she in a car in the field
[04:56:50] by herself. So we sent a team out to investigate. Her dad had been driving
[04:56:53] her to work, and I saw them, saw that he had brown skin, pulled him over
[04:56:58] and put him into one of these detention centers. In this detention
[04:57:02] The way he stays in touch with his family is he makes phone calls and they charge him $5 per phone call and
[04:57:08] The way he makes those $5 is he works and for a full day of work
[04:57:12] They pay him $1 so him and every single person in there are working
[04:57:17] for a dollar a day to stay in touch with their families to buy food to buy hygiene products and that's so much of why these
[04:57:24] raids are happening because
[04:57:26] First of all, these people work, and second of all, these detention centers charge a
[04:57:30] lot of taxpayer money that are run by for-profit prison companies.
[04:57:34] So I think what California needs to do first of all is shut down these for-profit detention
[04:57:39] centers so that people are not being brutalized for some for-profit company.
[04:57:44] I think we also need to hold ICE agents accountable when they break the law, like
[04:57:47] shooting people, like assaulting people, like trespassing.
[04:57:51] And I also think our volunteer rapid response networks are doing a lot of great work
[04:57:54] protecting people across the state. And everyone I know who's doing that is a
[04:57:58] volunteer in the state of California really needs to step up to help them do
[04:58:01] what they're doing. Yeah. Um, what, uh, so you were a civil rights lawyer, uh,
[04:58:09] before this, uh, what other experiences have you had? Uh, and why did you choose
[04:58:15] to run for lieutenant governor? Why not anything else? Yeah. I, so I've always
[04:58:20] been a community organizer. Uh, for 10 years, I ran a nonprofit organization
[04:58:24] that trains Asian youth to fight for racial justice.
[04:58:27] And then I did eviction defense.
[04:58:30] I organized for housing justice.
[04:58:31] So I would organize sentence unions and rent strikes.
[04:58:34] And then I came to the ACLU to do immigrant rights.
[04:58:39] What really excites me is using my legal skills
[04:58:41] to build power.
[04:58:43] I never want to be the kind of attorney who
[04:58:45] helicopters into a community and just says, I'm a hero.
[04:58:50] I'm here to save things.
[04:58:51] And then I leave and make things worse.
[04:58:53] I always want to use my legal skills to build power.
[04:58:56] And for a long time, that was the ACLU
[04:58:57] and that was very attractive to me.
[04:58:59] But with these ICE raids,
[04:59:01] so when the raids began in California,
[04:59:03] we file our lawsuits and we actually win.
[04:59:06] So in April, we got an injunction in federal courts
[04:59:09] ordering the Trump administration
[04:59:11] to stop with the immigration raids in the Central Valley.
[04:59:14] And in July, we won a similar victory
[04:59:16] protecting stuff in California.
[04:59:18] But what was really noticeable to me
[04:59:20] was the Trump administration didn't care.
[04:59:22] They kept the raids going for them
[04:59:23] an order from a judge was just like a sheet of paper.
[04:59:25] And it really showed me that what the courts can do
[04:59:29] is so limited when it comes to protecting us
[04:59:32] and California needs to step up.
[04:59:34] And so that's why I'm running.
[04:59:36] Yeah.
[04:59:38] What are some legal mechanisms of defense
[04:59:42] that your background as a civil rights attorney
[04:59:45] allows you to expand on that you could potentially pursue?
[04:59:50] Cause like we're talking about building a consensus, right?
[04:59:53] There's gonna be a lot of people in the state
[04:59:56] that will oppose your agenda, oppose your vision.
[05:00:01] Let's say you build this consensus
[05:00:03] and you have people pressuring their own state legislators,
[05:00:09] for example.
[05:00:15] What are some of the ways in which you could push back
[05:00:18] against the Trump administration
[05:00:20] At a time when let's say they want to occupy the streets of Los Angeles as they have done so to Minneapolis
[05:00:31] For me the law and politics are not the end goal. They are always an avenue to build power. So
[05:00:40] Yes, you know, I am an attorney. I do have that experience
[05:00:43] I do think California should be doing more in the courts to fight back against Trump
[05:00:48] but that is not how we're going to change things structurally because when you
[05:00:55] win in the court system it can just be reversed like that I mean we saw with
[05:00:58] Roe versus Wade and even when you win and you pass a law it could just be
[05:01:03] repealed. Obamacare is you know always being put on the chopping block and this
[05:01:08] year lost a lot of its funding so I think the kind of victory that really
[05:01:12] sticks is changing people's hearts and minds and so yes like I think
[05:01:16] California should file more lawsuits. I think we need to pass more laws, but I
[05:01:19] really want to use my position and my campaign and my role as lieutenant
[05:01:23] governor to change people's hearts and minds and change the way people think
[05:01:27] about capitalism, change the way people feel about immigrants, change the
[05:01:31] way people feel about our politics so that we have actually long-term
[05:01:34] structural change. And it's not just me, right? It's building into a movement
[05:01:38] that so many people and so many organizations have worked on for so
[05:01:40] long. Okay. What's your plan of action as far as getting the word out? I mean, let's let even
[05:01:49] before we get to that actually, because we're talking about like what happens when you become
[05:01:53] Lieutenant Governor. But let's talk about how you plan to become Lieutenant Governor. I don't
[05:01:59] know what the internal polling looks like. I'll be honest, the Lieutenant Governor's race is
[05:02:04] not one that I was like paying close attention to in the state of California. Many people
[05:02:09] People don't even know that there is like a separate race for a lieutenant governor as
[05:02:13] opposed to the governor.
[05:02:16] People love asking us who our running mate is.
[05:02:19] We don't have one.
[05:02:22] Yeah.
[05:02:23] And there probably would be friction as well between the lieutenant governor and the governor.
[05:02:28] Has that happened in California at times?
[05:02:31] We've had a Democrat as governor and a Republican as lieutenant governor.
[05:02:35] And California's constitution has it.
[05:02:37] So when the governor, when the governor leaves the state, the lieutenant governor becomes
[05:02:40] the acting governor.
[05:02:42] And so this Republican would sign legislation and appoint judges and do all sorts of stuff.
[05:02:46] So there has been tension.
[05:02:48] Okay.
[05:02:51] And so what's your plan of attack for, for winning the election?
[05:02:58] Yeah.
[05:02:59] Yeah.
[05:03:00] Good question.
[05:03:01] Maybe I should get my finance finance director or a campaign manager here.
[05:03:05] No.
[05:03:06] Actually, so this past week, we had two really good breakthroughs.
[05:03:11] Number one, we got the California DSA endorsement
[05:03:13] statewide.
[05:03:14] First time in history, they've endorsed somebody
[05:03:16] first time since Bernie Sanders in 2020
[05:03:19] that they've endorsed somebody.
[05:03:21] First time in history, they've endorsed somebody
[05:03:22] for a statewide office, which we're really happy about.
[05:03:26] And then this past weekend, we
[05:03:28] were up in San Francisco for the California Democratic Party
[05:03:31] Convention.
[05:03:33] And there are some career politicians in this race
[05:03:37] with decades of time in politics.
[05:03:41] And so we really thought they would endorse
[05:03:43] one of these corporate Democrats
[05:03:45] who have been in politics for so long.
[05:03:48] And they actually decided not to endorse anybody.
[05:03:50] Why do you think that's the case?
[05:03:53] I think the hold that these corporate Democrats
[05:03:59] have over the party has really weakened
[05:04:01] in the last few years.
[05:04:02] especially after 2023, 2024 with Palestine.
[05:04:08] And so they voted not to endorse anybody.
[05:04:10] For us, that means the race is wide open.
[05:04:12] And when it comes to grassroots support,
[05:04:16] we are bigger than every other campaign in this race combined.
[05:04:19] We have thousands of volunteers registered
[05:04:21] with the campaign on social media.
[05:04:23] We're doing way better than everybody else combined.
[05:04:25] And so our plan is really to build
[05:04:28] kind of like Zoran did in New York City,
[05:04:30] a very grassroots campaign, knocking on doors,
[05:04:33] speaking to people, building power in local communities.
[05:04:36] We're training a lot of our volunteers
[05:04:37] to be campaign captains, and these are folks
[05:04:39] that we specially train and resource
[05:04:41] to represent us in their communities.
[05:04:43] It's a very grassroots model,
[05:04:45] but I think it's the kind of long-term organizing
[05:04:48] and power building that we need to change the state.
[05:04:52] What's the state Democratic Party's outlook
[05:04:55] on someone like yourself, if you can be honest about it?
[05:05:00] It's nuanced. I mean, there's the traditional power structures don't like us, but there is a surprising amount of people who are in the power structure, who are open to things.
[05:05:17] What I find throughout this process that is most surprising is, sometimes we're shy about talking about Palestine, because we know the parties role and complicity.
[05:05:28] And so
[05:05:30] Whenever we talked to some of these party people it'll kind of be like, you know
[05:05:34] We'll drop a hint and then they drop a hint and then we drop a hint and then it comes out
[05:05:38] We're both from the river to the sea Palestine should be free and they say hey, you should have just led with that
[05:05:42] So that's a that's a really big surprise
[05:05:44] So, you know, I can't I can't condemn like the entire party in one breath
[05:05:48] That was that was surprising to me too when I went to the DNC and how many people were like actually fans
[05:05:53] That was like a shock to me. Yeah, I would have expected them to be much more hostile
[05:05:58] I mean, they have been a lot more hostile since then because Kamala Harris lost and there was like actively looking to shift the blame
[05:06:06] on whoever they can
[05:06:08] But okay, so we got you got Fiona ma that's like your main
[05:06:12] Op here. That's like the top dog. I guess in the race. Is that would you say I would say there's no top dog
[05:06:18] No one got the Democratic Party endorsement true true
[05:06:21] But like there's always someone that you're like, you know, she's she's the media's top dog. She's the media's top dog
[05:06:28] And then the other candidates are David Fennel, Josh Friday, Brian Jones,
[05:06:33] Janelle Kelman, Tim Myers and Michael Tubbs. I don't know anything about any of these people.
[05:06:40] Like this is, so you need to walk me through what these guys are about a little bit. This guy's
[05:06:46] a cool hat. Yeah, I don't have a cool hat. Yeah, he's got you on that one. I know. And he's
[05:06:52] He's from St. Louis, Missouri, but got a degree from the Beijing Language Institute.
[05:07:01] Hey, we're cousins.
[05:07:03] You think he could out China mug you?
[05:07:06] You think he could China mug you?
[05:07:07] We'll see how much Mandarin he speaks.
[05:07:10] Okay.
[05:07:11] All right.
[05:07:12] That's interesting.
[05:07:14] That's so California that the Republican is from the Beijing Language Institute.
[05:07:19] You got Josh Friday, office holder, California volunteer's chief service officer.
[05:07:24] Yeah.
[05:07:25] I actually met him two weeks ago.
[05:07:26] Mm hmm.
[05:07:27] He was very nice.
[05:07:28] Okay.
[05:07:29] Yeah.
[05:07:30] We got Brian Jones, Republican member of the California state Senate, representative
[05:07:35] district 40 and his term is supposed to end.
[05:07:40] He's running for election.
[05:07:43] Currently is the state Senate minority leader.
[05:07:45] I feel like the, the, I can't speak for the lieutenant governor position, but like the
[05:07:52] gubernatorial race is oftentimes, uh, not very ideological.
[05:07:57] Like people will go after specific candidates, like, and what their policies are.
[05:08:02] Um, the California gubernatorial race right now is, uh, I mean, it's a very crowded
[05:08:08] field.
[05:08:09] Do you have a favorite?
[05:08:10] Um, no, I don't.
[05:08:12] Uh, I, I have, uh, I will be interviewing Tom
[05:08:15] I believe this week or next, or yeah, I think this week though, and I'm very interested to hear what he has to, what he has to tell me about being a billionaire who's also, who's also one of the more woke candidates.
[05:08:31] There's also butch where I believe is also going and Ramsey Robinson who is running as a socialist I think.
[05:08:39] And but as far as as far as who is favored in the race in the California
[05:08:47] gubernatorial race, I think it's Eric Swalwell, right? I think he's polling the highest. Yeah. Yeah
[05:08:53] Not a big fan of Eric Swalwell neither, but also again
[05:08:58] Not to take it there, but
[05:09:00] He's probably more pro-tribe than you are
[05:09:03] Is he?
[05:09:04] What is he said?
[05:09:07] It's a joke. He's been caught with the Chinese honeypot.
[05:09:12] You didn't know that? I didn't know that. Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's
[05:09:17] anyway
[05:09:19] What do you think about the governor's race? Oh, Katie Porter is running too. Yeah, he was running
[05:09:26] There are many options
[05:09:28] There are a lot of people I don't like there are some people I like and
[05:09:32] And I'll just drop that we are talking to some folks about working together.
[05:09:37] OK, but it's not announced yet, so keep tuned.
[05:09:40] OK, all right, that's interesting.
[05:09:43] How do we force eminent domain and finally make high speed rail a reality in California?
[05:09:51] I think we need to get a lot of that corruption out because it's.
[05:09:58] Here's what the California party Democratic Party really and the California government as a whole does is they write a bunch of regulations
[05:10:05] Make things really complicated and then when any time government wants to do something things are so complicated that they can
[05:10:13] Give checks to the people who are their donors and people don't notice, right?
[05:10:17] So it's like they're mudding the waters so you can't really figure out what's going on. So I
[05:10:22] think it's
[05:10:24] We need we need to get corruption out of politics because it's it's not just a high-speed rail
[05:10:27] it's for anything that people want to do, whether it be getting an attorney to go through the legal
[05:10:33] system or divestment from genocide and Palestine, like government is so incapable by design. So we
[05:10:40] got to change that. Okay, but as far as I'm asking you more like, like, how do you plan on
[05:10:47] playing hardball when and using the the office? Because I understand that like, you're going to
[05:10:52] utilize the masses to the best of your ability to apply pressure or pressure is a necessity.
[05:10:59] But there is like an internal machination in the system itself where you can play hardball
[05:11:05] with contrast. You work with the, I guess there's like a comptroller right in the
[05:11:11] state as well, just like there is one in Los Angeles. And you have some levers of
[05:11:17] power at your disposal? Like, do you have a do you have a
[05:11:20] comprehensive agenda on how you would utilize this position to
[05:11:25] basically force out some of the more corrupt people that have
[05:11:31] benefited from the current system? You can also not have an
[05:11:38] answer for it right now. It's, it's all right. This is not
[05:11:41] like a very easy question to ask someone. Yeah. So I
[05:11:44] understand that. I think, you know, it's, I, my background is the legal system. And I know the
[05:11:51] legal system takes a long time, right? We could get a laws through that says, Hey, you have to
[05:11:56] build a high speed rail by 2030. And here's all the money you need for it. And different interest
[05:12:01] groups can file laws and delay that by 15 years. So it's, I wish there were an, I could
[05:12:10] promise you, Hey, I'm going to do this thing and the high speed rail will be done by 2030.
[05:12:14] But I think it really takes a complete restructuring of our system. Okay, but what have you thought about lying and and being like, yeah, I'm gonna get it done by
[05:12:23] You could be like, I'm Chinese. What do you know about China high speed rail 50 000 kilometers?
[05:12:29] China would be able to do that in a year six months
[05:12:33] Like we you could do like a like a competitive angle. You could be like
[05:12:37] Why are these guys stealing our lunch money? Like they're cooking us on the high speed rail approach
[05:12:42] like no more in California is the what faith largest economy on the planet.
[05:12:48] Yeah.
[05:12:49] That's a lot of money. We got a lot of money at our disposal. We're going to do, we're
[05:12:54] not, we're no longer letting China defeat us in the home ownership rates. We're no
[05:12:59] longer letting China defeat us on high speed rail. And we're no longer letting China
[05:13:04] defeat us on education. You know, maybe something like that. I don't know. You
[05:13:09] should join our com team.
[05:13:10] Yeah, I don't think, I don't think people care about that too much.
[05:13:13] They would rather live in copium and think like everything is great here, but, um,
[05:13:18] but yeah, I mean, these are, I'm just thinking of things as a, as a Californian voter and a taxpayer.
[05:13:26] Yeah. How are you going to punish the internet service providers?
[05:13:32] Let's get down to the real reason why I brought you here.
[05:13:35] To you. Do you have beef with your, what beef do you have?
[05:13:38] Who doesn't have beef with their own customers?
[05:13:40] I want to know your beef.
[05:13:42] I have spectrum.
[05:13:44] Unfortunately, all of the ISPs in this country are...
[05:13:48] There's oligopoly in virtually every market, and in most markets, it's a monopoly.
[05:13:54] And for that reason, they have, in spite of the subsidies that they've gotten,
[05:13:58] the tax breaks they've gotten to the tunes of tens of billions of dollars since the 90s,
[05:14:02] refused to offer additional infrastructure improvements
[05:14:08] that they said they would for in exchange
[05:14:11] for those tens of billions of dollars
[05:14:13] in subsidies and tax cuts.
[05:14:17] I don't have fiber in this neighborhood.
[05:14:19] And for me to get fiber in this neighborhood,
[05:14:22] I would have to literally pay for them
[05:14:25] to break the concrete and lay down the fiber lines.
[05:14:30] It would be $100,000 just for me up front
[05:14:36] to pay for a fiber line to be connected to my home.
[05:14:40] $100,000 and then on top of that, $5,000 a month.
[05:14:46] $5,000 a month?
[05:14:48] After that.
[05:14:49] Wow.
[05:14:50] To get fiber.
[05:14:52] That's insane.
[05:14:53] Guys, you gotta donate to the stream.
[05:14:55] No, no, no, it's not happening regardless.
[05:14:58] Um, that's on principle. I refuse to do it because that's insane. They should do it. What the fuck, right? And because there is no alternative, there's no actual, uh, there's no actual like competitor that has fiber.
[05:15:15] Yeah.
[05:15:16] is the same applies to the competition as well.
[05:15:19] There's only two that I can work with AT&T or Spectrum.
[05:15:25] And neither of which offer fiber,
[05:15:29] even though there are fiber lines around.
[05:15:32] How do we get the municipal internet
[05:15:34] similar to like the Tennessee Valley Authority?
[05:15:37] Chattanooga has one of the best
[05:15:40] best internet service providers in the nation.
[05:15:44] Yeah.
[05:15:46] Have you thought about public utilities at all?
[05:15:48] Yes. So I'm a huge fan of making these things public
[05:15:53] because, you know, when we turn on the water, right?
[05:15:57] We typically, I mean, that's less and less the case,
[05:16:00] but we typically expect it to be drinkable
[05:16:03] and we expect it to be pretty affordable.
[05:16:05] Same thing with the power.
[05:16:07] And these things exist
[05:16:08] because we have invested in the infrastructure.
[05:16:12] Government has invested in the infrastructure
[05:16:13] with the water, it's the reservoirs and the dams
[05:16:17] and all of these things.
[05:16:18] And with power, it's our power grid
[05:16:20] and the different renewable energies
[05:16:22] and non-renewable energies that we have in this state.
[05:16:25] I think we need the same thing for housing, for example,
[05:16:27] and I think we should have the same thing for utilities.
[05:16:29] Things should not only be provided
[05:16:32] because a company can make money from that.
[05:16:35] Because what that does is, first of all,
[05:16:38] a lot of people don't get access to that.
[05:16:39] And number two, when you do get access to it
[05:16:41] really shitty because they're trying to nick one dying you and trying to dare you to sue them which
[05:16:47] you're gonna have a really hard time doing as a single person and so I think the government
[05:16:51] really has to step in and provide in some cases a public option in other cases I think the government
[05:16:56] should just provide that thing like health care um you're gonna win over the gamers with that one
[05:17:01] no health care or they don't know no health care but public public broadband public fiber
[05:17:08] Oof. That's a easy one. People are going to lose other excuse. What are you speaking of?
[05:17:15] Utilities. PG&E is a behemoth in this state and they have also time and time again refused to
[05:17:23] update their infrastructure and because their infrastructure is not hardened enough to deal
[05:17:29] with the anthropogenic climate change brought about wildfires and things of that nature,
[05:17:38] There are wildfires in the state. They're oftentimes very deadly. How do we tackle PG&E in this state?
[05:17:47] I have a friend who worked at PG&E after college, and every time we talked to him, he would say,
[05:17:53] I'm probably going to lose my job soon because we are completely bankrupt.
[05:17:57] He actually stayed and he actually worked there for like two years.
[05:18:00] But yeah, I mean, what we've done with PG&E is we've carved out a swath of California
[05:18:08] for them and said, you get to have a monopoly over this area.
[05:18:12] And then they're not going to provide you good service.
[05:18:17] They're not going to make it fire safe because they have a monopoly and they're too big
[05:18:21] for you to actually hold them accountable.
[05:18:23] They've burned down so much of California.
[05:18:25] They've been bankrupt for almost a decade now and they're still in business because
[05:18:30] There's no alternative to them.
[05:18:31] And so what we need to do is to do an alternative to PG&E, put them out of actually out of business as they should be and actually provide good quality power that doesn't burn the state down.
[05:18:42] Okay.
[05:18:45] So how do you, how do you, I mean, you could also overtake them, I guess, like the state has that capacity.
[05:18:53] I'm fairly certain.
[05:18:54] I mean, there would be a lot of legal hurdles and in front of that.
[05:18:58] But I mean, who knows?
[05:19:02] But. OK, so you're you're in favor of of taking out PG and E from from continuously burning down the state every year.
[05:19:12] I don't like the state burning down.
[05:19:14] Yeah, I like that.
[05:19:17] As far as housing initiatives goes, let's talk a little bit more about that.
[05:19:21] So you've talked about corruption and people not having a lot of trust in the state, not having a lot of trust in the government.
[05:19:28] Um
[05:19:30] How do you how do you?
[05:19:33] Feel like you could fix the the housing crisis in the state of California, which is leading to a lot of homelessness here
[05:19:39] Yeah, and it's it's so much more than just homelessness because
[05:19:44] So many people are paying so much of their income on housing
[05:19:49] That you know, you're not able to invest in your local communities. You're not spending at your local small businesses
[05:19:54] so it's really holding back our entire state and
[05:19:57] And there's three things that we really want to do.
[05:20:01] The first is, of course, building more, which I do think we need to do,
[05:20:05] but it cannot be the kind of building that the real estate developers want,
[05:20:10] which is luxury condos that take up the space of five affordable units.
[05:20:14] Because when you let them have their way, that actually decreases
[05:20:17] the amount of space we have for affordable housing.
[05:20:19] So I think we need to build more, but it has to be affordable.
[05:20:22] Number two, we need to protect tenants better,
[05:20:24] better because, you know, I've represented these folks and having good legal protection for tenants
[05:20:33] will do so much to addressing our state's housing crisis and the the amount of unhoused people
[05:20:40] we have in our state. And lastly, which is something that I think really gets under
[05:20:45] talked about is who actually owns the housing because too much of the housing in our state
[05:20:50] is owned by these corporate landlords, these investor landlords. And of course,
[05:20:56] regular people, young people working families are never going to be able to compete against
[05:21:01] a billion dollar private equity company when it comes to buying a home. And so these companies
[05:21:05] are buying up entire neighborhoods, outbidding regular people, and then charging them whatever
[05:21:09] they want on rent. And that is such a core component of our housing crisis. And so what
[05:21:16] we want to do is I wish we could just say ban the corporate landlords and that's what I want to do
[05:21:23] but legally when you do something like that you have to compensate them for that property and so
[05:21:29] I think what California should go about doing that my campaign is proposing is a property tax
[05:21:34] penalty for homes that are owned by these corporate landlords and use the proceeds of that
[05:21:38] tax to help first time home buyers buy homes. Okay. Um, yeah. Okay. I mean, that's, that's
[05:21:48] one aspect of it, but like the, the bubble that has developed around housing, it needs
[05:21:54] to, at some point, I want to say pop, but it kind of does need to the housing market
[05:22:01] needs to deflate a little bit. Um, one of the only effective ways of doing that is
[05:22:08] either creating a market competitor in the hands of the state, or is by, I guess, opening
[05:22:15] up alternatives in terms of new developments. Many of the new developments, however, unfortunately,
[05:22:22] are luxury condominiums and things of that nature that aren't affordable alternatives.
[05:22:27] And that sometimes actually ends up increasing the existing of the available inventory of
[05:22:34] housing and their prices as well. Because now you're in a more expensive real estate market
[05:22:39] because there's a nice luxury condominium right there. What is your solution as far
[05:22:45] as like increasing the amount of availability for housing?
[05:22:51] Well, for housing, I think we need to build more, right? So there was a California law
[05:22:55] that recently passed that got watered down quite a bit that kind of deregulates a lot
[05:23:02] of building around public transportation centers. I think we should have that statewide.
[05:23:06] But on your earlier point about this bubble, I think there's a third alternative, right?
[05:23:13] You mentioned there's two ways to pop the bubble. And I think there is another way
[05:23:17] where you pop the bubble for corporate landlords and you leave everybody else alone. Because
[05:23:24] right now, a lot of that bubble is there because of this artificial demand for housing,
[05:23:30] which is not by people who actually want to live in them,
[05:23:32] but by these giant investment companies
[05:23:34] that want to invest and make money.
[05:23:35] And so by targeting the corporate landlords who own that,
[05:23:38] you can kind of pop the bubble of the corporate landlords,
[05:23:42] leave the people who invested their whole lives
[05:23:45] and who saved up to buy their homes, leave them alone,
[05:23:47] target the corporate landlords and the housing they own,
[05:23:49] pop that bubble, make those stock,
[05:23:52] which is hundreds of thousands of homes in California
[05:23:54] affordable for people, everybody else gets left alone.
[05:23:57] What do you think about a land tax or a, or a vacancy tax?
[05:24:01] I support a vacancy tax. Um, what about Airbnb?
[05:24:07] I think they should probably be banned, but I want to do more research on that.
[05:24:12] Okay. Um, all right. That's, that's cool.
[05:24:20] Changing corporate law to disallow corporations, right?
[05:24:22] The on residential property wouldn't be a taking subject to recompense.
[05:24:26] They can and will sell the properties off the prior in prior to enforcement of the law.
[05:24:31] Okay. Well, then they're no longer a corporate owned, right?
[05:24:35] I don't think that's quite how the law works, but you would know better than this
[05:24:39] chatter, I assume. I appreciate the creativity. Okay.
[05:24:46] Is there anybody to stop property owners from blocking out renters by
[05:24:49] impossible credit checks legally? Is there any way now they're asking you
[05:24:54] just about like now they're asking me questions in Chinese. Yeah. Um, I didn't, I didn't understand
[05:25:03] the question. Airbnb is hard. No, well, they do, they do credit checks before you rent on
[05:25:08] properties. And the chatter is saying, like, is there a way to force landlords not to do
[05:25:15] credit checks before you go to rent a property? There are alternative ways of doing a check
[05:25:22] to make sure that you're like going to be a responsible renter.
[05:25:26] I believe like they can look at your income, for example.
[05:25:29] Yeah. Yeah.
[05:25:30] Instead of instead of doing a credit check.
[05:25:34] So yeah, I'll just say, yeah, credit checks, they
[05:25:38] make access to housing really hard for people who are
[05:25:42] marginalized from marginalized backgrounds, typically black and brown people.
[05:25:46] I represented this tenant who is black, his family's black and
[05:25:52] we were negotiating a move out agreement for him where he gets a chunk of money from the landlord and he moves out and gets a new apartment and I thought, okay, like, we'll give him, you know, he's getting a lot of money, we'll give him like, three months in the agreement and he should be able to find a new place because he has the money for a security deposit and all this stuff, right?
[05:26:12] And my supervisor was like, no, he's going to need way more than three months.
[05:26:15] And we actually ended up writing nine months into his agreement and he used up the full
[05:26:20] nine months because there's so much discrimination and based on race, based on the fact that
[05:26:28] he's on a housing voucher, based on his credit score, that it was super tough for him and
[05:26:33] his family.
[05:26:34] Yeah.
[05:26:35] All right.
[05:26:36] Last question I have for you and thank you so much for taking the time out and coming
[05:26:40] on the broadcast, what can my community do for you? What are some areas of need for you
[05:26:48] right now on your campaign?
[05:26:51] There's two really good ways folks can help. The first is our volunteers. We have trained
[05:26:58] thousands of volunteers with this campaign and we're really passionate about training
[05:27:02] people not to tell my story and not to elevate this campaign, but training them to build
[05:27:06] power. And so our trainings are on things like your rights against ice, how to organize your
[05:27:13] community, how to tell stories. Our goal really is to leave behind a legacy of thousands of people
[05:27:19] who can keep on fighting for the kind of change that we need in this state. So if you either live
[05:27:24] in California or don't live in California, there are so many ways for you to get involved,
[05:27:28] especially when you campaign captains or the people that we give a specific community ownership
[05:27:35] over. And their job is to represent us in that community. So that's one way. Number two is fundraising. And we are completely grassroots funded,
[05:27:43] we're not taking any money from corporations. And we fundraise quite a bit hundreds of thousands of dollars from regular people. But on the
[05:27:51] other side, there is the housing lobby, there's the Israeli lobby, there is, you know, all of these developers and the for profit
[05:27:58] prisons. And so we do need more resources to fight back. What
[05:28:02] makes our spending so different is we're not hiring an army of
[05:28:06] consultants the way that most campaigns do the way that Kamala
[05:28:10] wasted a billion dollars on our resources all gets invested
[05:28:15] back into the community, train our volunteers, the thousands
[05:28:18] of volunteers we have on the campaign. And so if a grassroots
[05:28:21] donation is feels right for you, then that'll really help us
[05:28:24] be loud and fighting for justice.
[05:28:26] you're still going to get TV ads, right? I don't think we need to. Okay. You know, on social media,
[05:28:33] we're getting millions of views every single week, and TV ads are exceptionally expensive,
[05:28:39] especially because all the governor candidates are going to be spending in that same market.
[05:28:44] I don't know. Maybe it's different for the lieutenant governor race, usually. Maybe there's
[05:28:50] like not as much attention to it as there is for the gubernatorial race and all these other races
[05:28:57] that are happening. But you have internal pollsters, like you have people that you're paying for polling?
[05:29:06] We haven't done any polling. Okay. Are there polls out there of this race at all?
[05:29:13] There hasn't been any public polls or not public, like publicly funded polls. It's all polls
[05:29:19] that individual candidates pay for and it's always whoever paid for the poll shows them
[05:29:24] leading. We don't really care about that. We just have our heads down doing the work
[05:29:29] and we see a ton of grassroots enthusiasm. I anticipate maybe towards the end of the
[05:29:35] race we might do a poll, but right now we want to use our resources, our time and
[05:29:39] our energy training our community.
[05:29:42] Okay. They're saying there have been several polls currently at 10% to 10% split. Do you have any of
[05:29:49] them we can look at? Yeah. So I think I know the polls you're talking about. Those are polls that
[05:29:54] were paid by other campaigns and it's whoever paid for the polls, it shows them in the lead at
[05:30:01] about 10%. Yeah. No, of course. What about what about a media strategy beyond social media
[05:30:11] because you're very good at social media. Thank you. Your campaign has done a great job on social
[05:30:17] media. Do you guys have a media strategy to reach out to to local papers? Have you sought out other
[05:30:26] endorsements from unions and things of that nature? Yeah. So earlier this month, we got the
[05:30:31] endorsement of the United Auto Workers, which represent the 50,000 grad student workers on
[05:30:36] our UCs. And so we're super excited for that. We're putting out our endorsements,
[05:30:41] we're talking to different sorts of media. Yeah, I mean at the core of our campaign it's
[05:30:49] of grassroots organizing. That's my background as a candidate and that's what I think we need to do.
[05:30:54] Okay, I mean I'll tell you, I worked with a lot of people and still continue to work with a lot of
[05:31:01] campaigns. The ones that are the most successful do still at the end of the day
[05:31:08] lean into more traditional methods as well. Zoran has that background as well. Had the
[05:31:14] DSA backing, had the grassroots mobilization, but he also did work with a firm that is now
[05:31:20] getting even more and more popular. I forget they're called, I think it's like called Fight
[05:31:23] Media.
[05:31:24] Fight Media.
[05:31:25] Yeah, Fight Media. So like, there is definitely utility in having a campaign that is, you
[05:31:30] know, focusing on both, not to tell you what to do. Obviously, you're going
[05:31:33] to do what you're going to do, but there is definitely still utility in playing the game
[05:31:40] a little bit.
[05:31:41] So we fight agency or fight media or whatever, they are a video production or like communications
[05:31:47] firm.
[05:31:48] And we do have a production company that we work with who do some of our videos.
[05:31:51] So we do do that.
[05:31:52] The kind of campaign consultants that I don't like are the people who spend hundreds of
[05:31:58] thousands of dollars pulling the public to craft messages for their candidates.
[05:32:02] And ends up what we get is the Democratic party, which is like,
[05:32:07] don't, don't say shit about Palestine. Don't support universal health care.
[05:32:11] Don't do all of these things. Just be moderate as fuck. And then,
[05:32:14] no, you have the, you have that, which is good.
[05:32:17] That's, that's what I always urge people to do,
[05:32:19] which is to, to, to have moral convictions,
[05:32:23] to, to not be afraid to lead on issues.
[05:32:25] even if you feel like that might be unpopular, at the end of the day, if you have an earnest
[05:32:30] message, that will come across.
[05:32:34] People are not stupid.
[05:32:35] You don't have to treat them like they're stupid, but people are also kind of stupid
[05:32:37] and you have to bludgeon them in the head with your message and I think there's utility
[05:32:43] in working with someone to make sure that your message reaches far and wide and gets
[05:32:49] in front of people and you do as much media as possible as well.
[05:32:55] So thank you so much for coming on and we'll put your links in the chat as well, olivorma2026.com
[05:33:06] to find out more about the campaign, to see how you can join forces with Oliver here if
[05:33:13] you liked what he had to say.
[05:33:14] I certainly did.
[05:33:16] So thank you so much for coming on.
[05:33:18] Of course.
[05:33:19] I hope next time we talk you know some Mandarin.
[05:33:21] Yeah.
[05:33:22] InshaAllah.
[05:33:23] Thank you. Nice to meet you.
[05:33:27] Here, do you want, let's take a photo before you leave to hold on. I'll just do.
[05:34:23] Oh, yeah, you have a direct link to the volunteer page for LA and California locals as well.
[05:34:35] If you would like to join the volunteer movement for all of Vermont for governor, Lieutenant
[05:34:38] Governor.
[05:34:39] I saw Mandarin moments segment for daily streaming.
[05:34:44] What is this? Did you see the view?
[05:34:45] I asked for workers out. Okay.
[05:34:49] This
[05:35:04] apparently this causes workers to never miss a day because he just comes in
[05:35:07] periodically and randomly.
[05:35:09] The founder hand-on mining group
[05:35:39] How Americans think billionaires in the U.S. act when we cut their taxes?
[05:35:59] Yeah.
[05:36:00] What is this?
[05:36:06] Kansas owns is kicking off a miniseries on Charlie Kirk widow Erica Kirk on Wednesday
[05:36:10] bride of Charlie. That's crazy.
[05:36:18] U.S. billionaire would rather die than give away their money. True.
[05:36:26] The crazy thing is that all that money is probably a fraction of their profit
[05:36:29] and it's so much money to every worker. Yeah.
[05:36:31] Yeah. How do you think that went? I mean, it went well.
[05:36:38] Oliver is a little bit more based than I thought he was going
[05:36:43] to be, I'll be honest, which I think you guys clocked fairly
[05:36:49] early on. Why did you never mention Oliver?
[05:36:53] Are you ready Beijing the lowest during your trip?
[05:36:57] Okay, chill.
[05:37:01] I also realize that, um, that when I'm, uh, when I encounter someone who's running for
[05:37:15] office and they are, uh, very open about certain things like that, I was like, I don't know
[05:37:24] if you should be saying this, but I didn't want to say it. You know what I mean?
[05:37:32] You were too tensed. It was too serious of an interview. Yeah.
[05:37:40] He's more radical than you. No. I think of how those things look.
[05:37:50] You know what I mean?
[05:38:03] The Audemars got a poll out.
[05:38:05] This says she's at 18%.
[05:38:11] And it shows the Republican at 20%.
[05:38:12] This is fake.
[05:38:17] I'm going to go back to Zoran a little bit too much, but the thing with Zoran is like
[05:38:47] like, he is a really good way of liberalizing his language in a way that people, in a way
[05:38:56] that people understand in a way that people are like not, um, in a way that like doesn't
[05:39:04] scare people away, uh, to a certain degree.
[05:39:09] Yeah.
[05:39:10] When you started talking about China, I was already imagining the attack ads.
[05:39:16] Yeah.
[05:39:17] I do think that there is a utility in dog whistling a little bit.
[05:39:28] Anyway, we're going to get to Anton on Trump's pre-state of the union polling laws, but
[05:39:41] So before we do that, oh, also companies are already doing it. FedEx, US, United States
[05:39:47] to get full refund of emerging tears. The Supreme Court found President Donald Trump
[05:39:50] had no authority to impose them lawsuits. There it is. As I told you, respectfully disagree
[05:39:59] about the fake dog whistling, have some conviction. Yeah, exactly. This is precisely what I'm talking
[05:40:04] a 40-mile subscriber should never be super in support of the messaging attitude of a person
[05:40:12] running for statewide office. No disrespect to you chatter, but you're not the fucking average
[05:40:18] voter, okay? Exactly what I was talking about. Yeah, no, that's the problem.
[05:40:34] Yeah, you're anyway. Why do you always assume you know who the average voter is because I
[05:40:46] go outside more than you do. I'm gonna be honest, got gamer 69. That's why. Also, I've
[05:40:51] I've been doing this for a very long time at this point.
[05:41:07] Like, many of you have never knocked on a single fucking door and many of you have never organized.
[05:41:14] And therefore you have no way of comprehending what like the average person looks like or the average person,
[05:41:20] are the average person responds to certain things.
[05:41:32] Going on Twitter stream, go post stream doesn't count as a side buddy. Yeah.
[05:41:40] Hold the fuck on now. That's a wide brush. That's why I said many of you.
[05:41:45] Not all of you.
[05:41:50] Your delusion if you think your takes are a handful of people you talk to in real life and literally Hollywood is reflective of anyone outside of LA?
[05:41:56] Okay.
[05:42:00] This is you right now?
[05:42:20] That's fire
[05:42:27] Starr is pushing hard he's also going left I know
[05:42:30] Alice and demolished
[05:42:34] Because you can't reform an organization that is criminal from top to bottom. I
[05:42:39] Don't know where he's gonna go with this like I mean this is he did this in the presidential race, too
[05:42:45] He just like comes in hot
[05:42:47] says a bunch of says a bunch of wild stuff right and you're like where are we
[05:42:52] gonna go here like where how is this gonna work
[05:43:06] he's always been a pro environmentalist guy as a billionaire but it's just like
[05:43:14] Like I'm very, I'm fascinated by him.
[05:43:27] Anyway, may I he'll be coming on the broadcast.
[05:43:34] I would say there's no one true normie but you're right I feel a good rough idea of the
[05:43:37] Kelly normie. Um, all right. What was I going to do? Oh, I was going to cover. Yeah, the
[05:44:01] setbacks on Donald Trump striking Iran. So Donald Trump came out with his long ass convoluted
[05:44:09] statement about striking Iran. And I don't know why he did this because this kind of
[05:44:22] looks desperate weirdly enough. Numerous stories from the fake news media have been circulating
[05:44:27] stating that General Daniel Cain, sometimes referred to as Raisin, is against us in going
[05:44:33] to war with Iran. Okay. The story does not attribute this vast wealth of knowledge to
[05:44:42] anyone and is 100% incorrect. General Cain, like all of us, would like not to see war.
[05:44:48] First of all, that's not true.
[05:44:56] There's never been a general that's like, I don't like going to war.
[05:45:02] Generals love going to war.
[05:45:04] Okay.
[05:45:05] Especially, Raising Cain, who told Trump that he should strike Iran.
[05:45:11] He is the type of general that extra loves going to war.
[05:45:15] His name is Raisin Cain, man.
[05:45:18] Yeah.
[05:45:20] Hammers love nails, generals love war, it's their favorite activity.
[05:45:25] What the fuck are we talking about?
[05:45:27] So that's strike one here.
[05:45:34] But if a decision is made on going against Iran at a military level, it is his opinion
[05:45:39] that it will be something easily won.
[05:45:43] He knows Iran well in that he was in charge of Midnight Hammer, the attack on the Iranian
[05:45:47] nuclear development, which by the way was a failure by their own current admission because
[05:45:53] the fucking nuclear facilities are still very much in operation, right?
[05:46:00] Some doesn't add up here because if Midnight Hammer work, then why are you striking Iran
[05:46:06] again?
[05:46:07] Why are you even dealing with Iran about their nuclear proliferation, their uranium
[05:46:12] enrichment capabilities. I thought you took that out. Very strange. You know, these two
[05:46:21] things can't be real at the same time. He knows Iran well, that he was in charge of
[05:46:27] Mennahammer, the attack on the Iranian nuclear development is a development no longer, but
[05:46:32] rather was blown to the smithereens by our great B2 bombers, raising kings, a great fighter
[05:46:37] and represents the most powerful military anywhere in the world. He has not spoken of not
[05:46:42] doing Iran what or even the fake limited strikes that I've been reading about he only knows one thing
[05:46:47] how to win and if he is told to do so he will be leading the pack everything that has been written
[05:46:53] about a potential war with Iran has been written incorrectly and purposely so I am the one that
[05:46:58] makes the decision I would rather have a deal than not but if we don't make a deal it will be
[05:47:02] a very bad day for that country and very sadly it's people I like these is like I'm gonna kill
[05:47:10] you guys. I'm gonna kill your civilians if you don't fucking deal with me.
[05:47:17] Okay, because they are great and wonderful and something like this should have never have happened
[05:47:23] to them. So, Trump comes out and says this, which is crazy because that's now three outlets,
[05:47:29] Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and Axios, that sources close to the White House have leaked
[05:47:33] the story to. Something in that administration is trying to head off what they realize will
[05:47:38] will be a fucking disaster, okay?
[05:47:43] And of course there are dumb fucks in here being like,
[05:47:45] it's a major military operation,
[05:47:46] of course it entails risk.
[05:47:48] How many major military operations do you have naysayers
[05:47:50] directly going to three separate
[05:47:52] major fucking American news outlets
[05:47:54] to warn them ahead of time,
[05:47:55] to leak information about their fears ahead of time?
[05:48:00] You only do this if you're in the room
[05:48:02] with the fucking president
[05:48:03] and you try to clearly communicate to him
[05:48:05] that this is gonna be a disaster
[05:48:06] And then the president's like, well, I'm going to call Bibi real quick.
[05:48:10] And then Bibi is like, no, Mr. President, you should do it.
[05:48:12] You should do it.
[05:48:13] We will be fine.
[05:48:18] Like how can you look at the situation and think that it's anything but catastrophe?
[05:48:26] Disaster or not, Trump does not care about the USA.
[05:48:27] He cares about the billionaires in St.
[05:48:28] Niazzo.
[05:48:29] I know, but it will be disastrous for Israel as well.
[05:48:33] Okay?
[05:48:36] The reason why I say this is because clearly the analysts in the fucking room are looking
[05:48:42] at the situation and seeing what we can see from the outside, which is that the most restrained
[05:48:48] individual you can deal with right now is the Ayatollah.
[05:48:50] Okay?
[05:48:51] There is no effective way of striking Iranian targets, IRGC targets, or Iranian nuclear
[05:48:59] facilities that literally failed last time.
[05:49:02] We know that that failed last time.
[05:49:03] And in the process of the fucking 12-day war that took place, Israel got heavily punished.
[05:49:10] Iran got bombed.
[05:49:12] Iran got punished as well.
[05:49:13] The Iranian population was killed.
[05:49:16] Having said that, if you're looking at, you know, if you don't care about the individuals
[05:49:20] that are dying in the process, but you do care about like protecting Israel, for example,
[05:49:28] it's very obvious to me that there is one guy who's recognized how difficult this
[05:49:33] This will look like, because contrary to popular opinion, if you read the news, you think the
[05:49:38] Iranian administration is falling apart, okay?
[05:49:42] But the reality is very different.
[05:49:43] The Iranian government is not falling apart, okay?
[05:49:47] There are protests that happened here and there, and there are still protests that
[05:49:51] are happening like the one that took place on a college campus or whatever.
[05:49:54] But like, one, if you actually end up bombing Iran, you're most likely not going to aid
[05:50:00] the protest movements.
[05:50:01] actually going to harm them. So that's one aspect of the story. Last time there was a
[05:50:07] fucking bombing campaign that took place, you had people who don't wear hijabs at all that
[05:50:12] were going into fucking town squares and talking to Iranian media being like, I'm an atheist
[05:50:17] and I think we need to use an atom bomb on Israel tomorrow. So usually it doesn't
[05:50:26] aid the the uh... popular protest movements when they're under a bombing campaign by the american and israeli forces
[05:50:33] so there's that side of it
[05:50:36] no matter how much the
[05:50:38] the iranian diaspora thinks like
[05:50:41] blowing up their fucking cousins
[05:50:43] back in is for honor that honor wherever
[05:50:46] is somehow going to magically bring about a popular revolution
[05:50:51] that's usually
[05:50:52] not how that works if anything it just
[05:50:55] And there is usually a rallying around the flag effect.
[05:51:00] Okay. Bro, they bombed the political prison and the family members of the people that
[05:51:08] were in the political prison were like, what the fuck are you doing?
[05:51:11] You literally killed some of our family members.
[05:51:15] Like it wasn't the Iranian state.
[05:51:17] They killed them.
[05:51:18] You killed them.
[05:51:19] Right.
[05:51:20] Hassan is a center left leaning liberal. I hate Donald Trump, but I think that going to war with Iran is one of the few good things this admin could do at the moment.
[05:51:30] Yeah. After the massacre IRGC did, I doubt there will be rallying around any flag. Brother, what do you not understand?
[05:51:45] The reason why people fucking hate the IRGC is because they kill their neighbors
[05:51:51] Who is gonna be killing their neighbors now at a much higher number? It won't be the IRGC
[05:51:58] Magically overnight with a bombing campaign the IRGC goes from being your slave master or being your enforcer
[05:52:07] To being your ally who is protecting you
[05:52:10] Okay, I you will I don't think you will
[05:52:14] understand. I don't think you'll understand this because you probably live in America,
[05:52:21] right? And if you live in America, what is this? What's this guy saying? It was never
[05:52:28] held together. I was in Afghanistan, all the Islamic countries have zero organization
[05:52:32] and proper priorities. Dude, how does that make you feel though? Like you went to
[05:52:36] Afghanistan and I don't know if this is like, I don't know what's going on here,
[05:52:42] But you went to Afghanistan, you literally protected, you sat across from a poppy field,
[05:52:48] watching a bunch of fucking pedophilic warlords rape children.
[05:52:54] Those were your allies in Afghanistan.
[05:52:57] You made sure that JSOC had ample funding for its heroin trafficking operation.
[05:53:03] You got fucked up in the head.
[05:53:06] And then the Taliban took the country anyway after you left.
[05:53:11] How does that make you fucking feel?
[05:53:14] It can't be good right like you can't literally come out of that experiment
[05:53:20] Come out of that experience thinking we really did something there, you know
[05:53:27] Also to make a comparison between the Taliban and the Iranian government once again
[05:53:34] Shows how fucking stupid you are. Okay on the one hand. There are two competing forces within the Taliban's
[05:53:40] structure of governance. You have the much more religious force that thinks no
[05:53:45] women should be educated, and you have the more tolerant yet still very
[05:53:49] religious force that thinks, no, we got to let women be educated. What the fuck
[05:53:52] are you doing? That's like 50% of the workforce. But there is no alternative
[05:53:57] there that says like unconditionally all women need to be educated across the
[05:54:00] board. In Iran, they don't have such considerations. That's not even a
[05:54:05] question. They're aggressive about like, you know, implementing some, some weird religious
[05:54:11] doctrine to make sure that like everyone's wearing a hijab. They go back and forth on
[05:54:15] whether or not there should be allowed in cities anyway, with a lot of public pressure.
[05:54:19] But ultimately, they're not questioning whether or not women should be fucking educated.
[05:54:24] Okay. We pay 87 million a month to the Taliban. So no, it doesn't feel good that
[05:54:29] we are supporting Islam? Dude you are so stupid you will never understand you are the perfect grunt
[05:54:37] my boy you are the perfect pawn dude oh my god you're like yeah we're supporting Islam
[05:54:46] fucking idiot religions oppressions yes
[05:54:49] This guy who went guy who went to a foreign country and dominated local population so they
[05:55:03] could fucking extract resources still thinks it's a religious war still thinks it's a war
[05:55:09] against Islam brother you are so dumb god you are the perfect servant of empire.
[05:55:18] Look at this in the synagogue of Satan. Okay, dude. Yeah.
[05:55:23] What is this? As in gold chats? Islam or Christianity. He cure for cancer.
[05:55:29] Judaism is the synagogue of Satan. Islam is the horsemen of the apocalypse.
[05:55:34] America first have a good night. Everyone. Jesus bless.
[05:55:37] thou shall not murder not kill. Killing isn't always murder.
[05:55:41] Islam is the horsemen of the apocalypse. Real Christians don't murder.
[05:55:45] Too bad they don't believe in God.
[05:55:46] Islam issuing leftist propaganda to attack the U.S.
[05:55:49] Gays are gay. Gays are mentally disordered.
[05:55:52] Brother, you...
[05:55:56] This is the funniest chatter.
[05:55:58] He's literally like,
[05:56:00] I actually hate the IRGC. I hate the Islamic Republic.
[05:56:03] I wish it was the Christian Republic.
[05:56:06] If it was the Christian Republic, I would be so fine with that.
[05:56:09] I would be super on board with that.
[05:56:12] Oh, that's awesome homosexuality is a mental disorder, no matter what the who says, oh dude,
[05:56:32] to blow him up before 9 11. Vermont let put 51 during COVID. Gender is a made up word.
[05:56:48] If you keep scrolling, he calls as many closet a Christian. All Muslims are radical. Christianity
[05:57:01] is the reason this nation is the most powerful.
[05:57:05] 25% of Islam are extremists.
[05:57:08] All Muslims are radical. Is it 100% or is it 25%?
[05:57:14] My family got hexed by a gay-wicking couple? Wait, what?
[05:57:20] My family got attacked with a hexed by a gay-wicking couple.
[05:57:31] This is the, this is the workings of a man who knows being a homosexual is being mentally
[05:57:38] disordered.
[05:57:39] Not him though.
[05:57:42] That was me.
[05:57:50] My apologies.
[05:57:51] This is pretty much the average voter.
[05:57:52] I don't think he's the average voter.
[05:57:58] I've seen a lot of diaspora Iranians speak in our stead but this is the first, I don't
[05:58:01] think this guy is an Iranian, my friend.
[05:58:05] This guy is a grunt.
[05:58:08] He went to Afghanistan and he did not learn any good lessons out of that experience
[05:58:13] whatsoever.
[05:58:21] So he's more anti-semitic than the average IRGC guy.
[05:58:29] Probably just as homophobic, but definitely more anti-semitic.
[05:58:37] Like the other IRGC guys would be like, bro, chill out.
[05:58:41] It is not Jews, okay?
[05:58:43] Israel is operating with America.
[05:58:46] Israel and America are one and the same, bro.
[05:58:50] This is awesome.
[05:59:00] Behold, Asmongold's only American viewer.
[05:59:06] Oh my god, you're right.
[05:59:09] This is one of the few instances where we caught one, and he's an American.
[05:59:18] Chatter God bless Lamal
[05:59:24] To your veteran oh, he got dishonorable discharge how the fuck do you get dishonorable discharge when you're on tour what can you do?
[05:59:32] For that to happen
[05:59:35] What could you have done for that to happen?
[05:59:38] This honorable you serve for two years only how is that possible?
[05:59:47] Oh, he's a crypto guy too.
[06:00:12] I had a 3-6 contract and served for all three one-year deployed.
[06:00:19] Motherfucker Bernie Sanders is your senator.
[06:00:23] Like figure it out, please.
[06:00:26] Okay.
[06:00:28] You got a nice dog.
[06:00:29] You got a nice family.
[06:00:30] What are you doing?
[06:00:32] How are you this brainbroken?
[06:00:36] How are you this brainbroken?
[06:00:38] Why are you saying nope?
[06:00:42] I'm gonna run Gore governor law. Okay. Good luck
[06:00:51] They sent him home because they knew he was a hexed
[06:01:06] Is this the teen running for governor of Vermont, he is not a teenager. Okay, this is a whole ass adult
[06:01:12] Hey man, you're bullying the guy that was in charge of burning shit?
[06:01:20] This is a, we got a burn pit victim, but instead of getting brain cancer, you got the
[06:01:26] other kind of brain cancer, conservatism.
[06:01:36] I serve for one year and got honorable, chat is lying to you, lots of circumstances.
[06:01:42] I just follow Jesus now. Oh, he's a born again. Oh, of course he is. Of course he is.
[06:02:06] I hope he's enjoying the defunded VA.
[06:02:14] I mean, there are so many fucking lost souls in the world, man, I mean, he's one of them.
[06:02:36] We're no more hateful force on this planet than Christian reverts. Yeah
[06:02:41] Oh
[06:02:49] You got banned oh fuck
[06:02:53] He lost all of his I
[06:02:56] Mean yeah, it's probably the homosexuality is a mental disorder stuff like that
[06:03:00] that or Israel is the synagogue
[06:03:04] of Satan that could be another one.
[06:03:05] We couldn't keep them.
[06:03:07] It's fascinating how your brain turns to that.
[06:03:09] I mean, it is.
[06:03:29] I don't see Christian reverse too often.
[06:03:30] if ever here in Europe, am I out of touch?
[06:03:32] Is this an American phenomenon?
[06:03:35] Well, if it's an American phenomenon now,
[06:03:40] it is most likely gonna be a European phenomenon
[06:03:42] in the next decade or so.
[06:03:44] But yeah, it is a very American thing.
[06:03:46] Americans in their understanding of Christianity
[06:03:48] is pretty busted.
[06:03:49] all of her mom was right there's too much asbestos
[06:04:03] my friend gravestone firerest now brother we have the watch and I'll see you in Valhalla
[06:04:17] the fucker, which happens only in your session. Who's got been banned already? It's the, it's
[06:04:24] the ADL. They're in the chat making sure they're in the chat 24 seven, making sure that I'm
[06:04:30] not saying some fuck shit. You know, they're like, can we get him on something? And then
[06:04:34] they saw him say Israel is the, or not Israel. Sorry. The Jews are the synagogue of Satan.
[06:04:40] They were like, oh, this guy's anti-Semitic boom.
[06:04:50] I'm a veteran border raiser Christian in Texas.
[06:04:52] Oh, so close to going the same route as the other vet.
[06:04:55] Crazy how things go.
[06:05:02] Oh, shit.
[06:05:03] We got a fall.
[06:05:03] Emote.
[06:05:04] Nice.
[06:05:05] Nice guys.
[06:05:10] This perhaps the most significant case so far of seeing General K's potential effort
[06:05:20] to exert influence as chairman. He clearly wants the American public to be aware of his
[06:05:24] views and advice. Every senior military leader eventually looks for a path to make their
[06:05:28] views known.
[06:05:29] Dan Shapiro says former U.S. Ambassador to Israel, the leaks about General K's warnings
[06:05:33] could have the effect of forcing Trump to try to answer a basic question that
[06:05:36] has clearly been neglected. What is the strategic objective until now? No one knows. And there
[06:05:41] is no way to justify strikes without that answer.
[06:05:45] Yeah. John Hudson from WAPO, new joint chief chair, uh, Dan Cain, raising Cain, expressed
[06:06:03] As concerns the Trump at the White House last Tuesday, any major operation against Iran
[06:06:07] will face challenges because the U.S. munitions stockpiles have been significantly depleted
[06:06:11] by U.S.'s ongoing defense of Israel and support for Ukraine.
[06:06:16] Separately in Pentagon meetings this month, this is John Hudson, who is the Natsik reporter
[06:06:20] for Washington Post, by the way.
[06:06:22] He's the one who wrote the article that we were looking at, alongside Tara Copp,
[06:06:28] the Pentagon correspondent for Washington Post.
[06:06:34] Kaine has also raised concerns about the scale
[06:06:36] of any Iran campaign, its inherent complexity
[06:06:38] and possibility of U.S. casualties.
[06:06:40] The general has said that any operation
[06:06:42] would be made all the more difficult
[06:06:44] by a lack of allied support for a U.S. attack on Iran.
[06:06:47] Kaine's views are seen as highly credible
[06:06:48] by the administration due to the successful execution
[06:06:52] of two other major operations he's overseen.
[06:06:54] The assault on Iran's nuclear sites last summer
[06:06:56] the U.S. ready to capture Nicolás Maduro in January, Cain said one person familiar with
[06:07:01] his conversation will support whatever decision the president makes as he did with the previous
[06:07:05] operations and does not want to be seen taking any option off the table, except the very
[06:07:10] fact that we have this information implies that he definitely doesn't want this option
[06:07:14] that much or at the very least realizes that this will tarnish his fucking reputation.
[06:07:20] Like just so you understand, there is no way that we would be hearing about this if he had no objections to the strike on Iran, we would not fucking hear about this information at all.
[06:07:38] Iranian officials to drop site to head on is showing unbelievable level of flexibility in talks to prevent US war.
[06:07:50] Gregory Brew from Eurasia Group says, it is especially interesting to me that Keynes comments highlighted depleted US interceptor stocks, a key issue in last year's war between Iran and Israel that hasn't really come up until now for whatever reason.
[06:08:04] Yeah. To me, the newsworthy part of case story that dropped today was not his views expressed as CG CJCS. His job joint chief of staff is to lay out scenarios and risk, but rather the implication that last week was the first time such risks have been described to Trump in detail.
[06:08:24] in detail. If the US strikes Iran in more than symbolic fashion, it can expect hundreds
[06:08:29] of missiles in response. Many of those missiles may not get off the ground. The US might have
[06:08:34] even more success than Israel did, but it's still notable that Kane felt it worth emphasizing.
[06:08:40] Again, Kane's job is to outline risk. The operation with Iran is riskier than Venezuela.
[06:08:46] It doesn't mean Trump decides the back down. It doesn't make the strikes less likely.
[06:08:51] interesting so are we going to are we not going to strike no dude you don't
[06:08:58] send you don't send 40 to 50 percent of our entire naval assets to the area
[06:09:13] surrounding Israel and Iran without the intention to strike there has never
[06:09:19] been this much mobilization, there's never been this much mobilization around, there's
[06:09:27] never been this much mobilization in the region that hasn't led to at least some kind of strike.
[06:09:34] Okay?
[06:09:38] I think the reason why these guys are leaking right now is because they see what we see
[06:09:43] as well.
[06:09:44] This will be fucking devastating.
[06:09:47] It will be devastating first and foremost for Iran, but it will also be devastating for
[06:09:54] Israel and America as well.
[06:09:58] President Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with what AIDS described as the limits of
[06:10:01] military leverage against Iran, with military planners telling the president that any strike
[06:10:05] on Tehran's assets would almost certainly not be a singular decisive blow.
[06:10:08] Instead, limited strikes could open the door to a wider confrontation, one that was drawn
[06:10:12] the United States into a protracted conflict in the Middle East, according to multiple
[06:10:15] source familiar with the matter who spoke to CBS News. Trump likes to do things. It sounds
[06:10:23] weird to say this, but we now have a pattern, right? He likes to go in fast. He likes to
[06:10:34] push the envelope and certainly do things that previous administrations would consider
[06:10:39] totally unsustainable and insane, right? But he likes to do things fast and clean,
[06:10:47] right? Because he doesn't want, he wants to be fast, he wants to be flashy, he wants to be clean.
[06:10:54] He does not want to stay there for a long enough time that it's like, you know, starting to get
[06:11:00] unpopular. So because those are his needs here, and because of the way that Iran is
[06:11:06] approaching the subject because this is the second time it's about to happen, it
[06:11:13] kind of feels like Dan Cain is trying to tell him you're not gonna be able to do
[06:11:18] this fast and quick and flashy and get all the things you want to get.
[06:11:36] I'm terrified that only things in Iran in hypersonic could hit something in our carrier groups
[06:11:41] Maybe an actual carrier, but they're gonna do it anyway. No, that's that's what I think too
[06:11:48] Brother if Iran were if Iran was to be able to successfully hit a carrier
[06:11:55] It would be
[06:11:56] Bedlam
[06:11:58] Okay
[06:12:00] If they fucking lasered a
[06:12:03] major ship
[06:12:06] it will be, I mean, it would be so insane.
[06:12:19] And I don't even mean it would be insane for like,
[06:12:23] like as far as domestic considerations,
[06:12:25] it would be impossible to deal with that.
[06:12:29] It would be impossible to deal with that
[06:12:30] at the domestic level.
[06:12:32] You got hundreds of families, thousands of families
[06:12:35] fucking going you just killed my you just killed my children because what like
[06:12:42] you wanted to fucking go and strike around the fuck's wrong with you only
[06:12:45] 21% of Americans actually want to strike Iran right now so it's already
[06:12:51] unpopular okay you have 4,600 plus sailors and airmen on an aircraft
[06:12:59] carrier. But even worse than that, from the perspective of the American military, is that
[06:13:16] America's force projection calculation changes overnight. You hit a fucking boat, you hit
[06:13:25] a carrier and you put a dent in that, you're putting a dent in American force projection.
[06:13:32] Like, that's why I said it's bedlam, like, that will, the repercussions of such, the
[06:13:48] Any progressions of this kind of risk is probably what raising cane is worried about.
[06:13:57] Your average person doesn't even know what or care about this deal.
[06:14:00] They don't want Warframe 1 and them trying to force project is making things backfire.
[06:14:07] Yes.
[06:14:15] Only Israel gets to sink our ships. Okay? Only Israel gets to sink our ships. A foreign
[06:14:25] adversary does not get to sink our ships. They want Iran to strike a carrier. They want
[06:14:38] popular response permission. The US government wants to create room for invasion. I genuinely
[06:14:43] believe that if the United States actually fully invaded Iran, it would be over. I think
[06:14:48] it would be the end of empire and not even Iran. If they invaded Venezuela with, uh, with
[06:14:54] the boots on the ground, military invasion, that's the end of American empire straight
[06:14:59] up. They don't, they don't want that. There is no, I don't think that I don't think
[06:15:06] it's that easy. I don't think it's like, this is not Vietnam. This is not Afghanistan.
[06:15:12] This is not a rock.
[06:15:13] This is post all of those things.
[06:15:17] We already have, we already have all of our, we have our economy already fucking working
[06:15:24] in a wartime posture to defend all of these other interests that we have around the world.
[06:15:29] We genuinely do not have, we don't have enough manpower.
[06:15:33] We don't have enough ambition.
[06:15:39] It would be, it would be devastating.
[06:15:41] would destroy America, I think. It would destroy Iran, but it would also destroy America. Also,
[06:15:49] Trump hates boots on the ground. I don't think he would, he would even entertain such a thing.
[06:15:55] from the surgeon East yeah 21% of Americans support us attack on Iran by the way good
[06:16:14] good luck making that look good. Yes, this would be our version of the USSR invading Afghanistan.
[06:16:26] It's not a prediction. I'm not making a prediction. I just, I'm not saying anything. Guys, stop.
[06:16:33] Stop. I'm not, I'm not predicting it. I'm not predicting anything. Will he start bombing
[06:16:42] Before after so do I don't think he would start bombing before the state of the Union. Are you kidding me? That would take the attention away
[06:16:50] allegedly Israeli channel 12 cruiser preparing to sleep in the studio tonight expecting developments
[06:16:55] Oh god
[06:16:57] Okay, maybe I spoke too soon. I don't but it's megatron. I don't know what the fuck they
[06:17:07] You just killed me Hassan in Iran. No
[06:17:12] Bro, I can't be having Iranian motherfuckers in the chat being like, bro, your predictions
[06:17:16] always fail.
[06:17:18] That's crazy.
[06:17:20] That's crazy.
[06:17:21] Bro, you're in Iran.
[06:17:25] Get to an elevated position right now.
[06:17:41] Russia sends Iran anti-aircraft missiles.
[06:17:54] As you said that about a right wing authoritarian you knew what happened, I know, I'm not predicting
[06:17:58] shit about Donald Trump.
[06:18:02] I don't know what he will do, he's a mad man, okay?
[06:18:07] Vice President Jay Vance's voice concerned over getting dragged into a prolonged conflict
[06:18:10] with Iran and his hope for a diplomatic resolution axios reports.
[06:18:14] If Vance is leaking out that he's against this thing, that's a data point that it's
[06:18:21] coming and it's going to be really bad.
[06:18:24] Yeah.
[06:18:26] Oh, God.
[06:18:30] Oh God.
[06:18:44] The grim reaper has spoken yesterday.
[06:18:46] Yeah.
[06:18:47] Yes, subscribe to the Piker Broadcasting Service to find out what will happen yesterday.
[06:18:54] Listen to what I'm going to say is not going to happen.
[06:18:57] To find out tomorrow's news today.
[06:19:09] I am messaging my parents in Iran telling them to get the shelters Hasan is invading.
[06:19:19] I mean, okay, you better start gaming so this doesn't happen if I start gaming the moment
[06:19:38] When I start gaming it will happen.
[06:19:59] The K-135 strato tanker headed northeast just disappeared over a rock with another behind.
[06:20:06] do that when they're nervous. I still think it'll be after the state of the Union. And
[06:20:19] I think that they will, they think that they could do a limited and precise strike, but
[06:20:27] I don't think it'll stay there. 24 hour stream going to go crazy when the strikes have
[06:20:34] Let's be real. Okay. That's crazy. I don't give a shit about it
[06:20:37] The entire region will go in flame because Nanny on who wants his butt wiped
[06:20:40] Americans won't just be fighting the Iranians here
[06:20:42] I don't think they understand the animosity they will face which is sad
[06:20:45] There's too many people poor people on both sides might die for the whims of the Epstein class
[06:20:51] Yeah, I I don't normally I shy away from saying that this is like, you know, Israel is designed but this is Israel's design
[06:21:00] U.S. and Iran are headed for a new round of talks in Geneva. Wait, no, this is 20-20, this
[06:21:08] is, is this new? Aimed at averting a conflict this week as the U.S. continues to search military
[06:21:15] force into the region as large military buildup. Although talks are scheduled for Thursday,
[06:21:19] the prospects for a deal that would halt the U.S. drive to war remain fragile. The
[06:21:23] U.S.'s demand is sweeping possessions, including a cessation of all nuclear enrichment, and
[06:21:27] to Iranian support for regional armed resistance movements and strict limits on the Iranian ballistic
[06:21:31] missile program. The only meaningful deterrent that Iran was able to employ during his conflict
[06:21:35] with Israel last year. I mean, I know for a fact that the ballistic missile program is a red line
[06:21:43] for the record. I know that it's such a red line that even the reformists in the, in the
[06:21:48] president's side, like the foreign ministry, they consider it a red line. Like, because remember
[06:21:55] However, the way that, the way that Iranian politics works is like the, the reformists
[06:22:01] are on the one side and they're a constant pressure to like liberalize.
[06:22:06] They want to fucking work with the West.
[06:22:08] They think that the West will offer them a better deal if they comply.
[06:22:12] They're kind of wrong, but whatever.
[06:22:15] And then you have the Ayatollah, which is a very restrained force when it comes
[06:22:19] to foreign policy, not so restrained when it comes to domestic policy, obviously.
[06:22:23] of the IRGC. I would say that the IRGC is the most militant out of these three different groups.
[06:22:29] They're all obviously under the banner of the Ayatollah, but the IRGC is the most militant
[06:22:37] and the least restrained group. There are areas of agreement within all three of these different
[06:22:45] groups, however, which is a red line on their ballistic missile program, which makes sense.
[06:22:53] IRGC is the military law. Yes.
[06:22:58] You know that there's a famously, generals have a different approach than, you know,
[06:23:04] the political leadership. No, the IRGC is more militant than even the Ayatollah.
[06:23:16] The Ayatollah is a much more...
[06:23:17] more, there's the national military, then there's the IRGC. The IRGC is the military
[06:23:24] unit of the Islamic Republic. However, the IRGC's approach is definitely more militant
[06:23:33] and more aggressive than even Ayatollah's approach is. This is part of the reason why
[06:23:41] I said that they can't just like fucking kill, they can't just like kill the Ayatollah
[06:23:47] If they did a decapitation strike on Ayatollah and like higher up IRGC leadership, there is
[06:23:52] no assurance that the people that come after them will be more compliant with American demands.
[06:23:58] If anything, it will be the opposite.
[06:24:17] But as I said, the civil governance or the political class in Iran also does not consider
[06:24:36] the ballistic missile program to be up for grabs at all, which is understandable.
[06:24:47] So the fact that they're trying to get the Iranian ballistic missile capabilities to
[06:24:51] be dismantled so that they can't hit like 300 kilometers beyond their borders is insane.
[06:24:58] It's the only deterrent that they have.
[06:25:01] That's even more consequential than the nuclear deterrent.
[06:25:03] It's like the artillery deterrent that North Korea had initially before they developed
[06:25:07] their nuclear deterrent.
[06:25:17] But I don't know what they mean when they say like the Iranian individual dropside that
[06:25:20] Tehran understands the erratic nature of the Trump administration but believes the
[06:25:23] position is diplomats are outlining the US negotiators representing an unprecedented
[06:25:26] effort by Iran aimed at preventing a regional war.
[06:25:29] The official said Iran is directly addressing US concerns on the nuclear issue with
[06:25:32] With concrete proposals and asserting a willingness to expand talks to other issues, wants a deal
[06:25:36] to avert imminent conflict has been concluded.
[06:25:46] What is this?
[06:25:47] I'll be back on Twitch in 7 days, law before we go being a douchebag.
[06:25:50] I didn't want you banned.
[06:25:51] I don't know, I mean he can't hear me.
[06:25:56] I didn't try to get him banned, I didn't want him to get banned.
[06:25:58] He got paid because he was saying fucking Jews are the synagogue of Satan.
[06:26:10] I was just here video explains Iran and RGC parliament every four years hidden in a bunker
[06:26:17] in June 2025 US and Israeli airstrikes pounding Iran.
[06:26:22] Iran's Supreme Leader did something he has avoided doing for years.
[06:26:26] He picked a successor.
[06:26:27] He picked three potential successors all senior clerics. This was because the threats against his life were becoming real
[06:26:34] Israel wanted to take him out
[06:26:36] The US wasn't opposed to it either and so hidden in a bunker at an undisclosed location
[06:26:41] I had to love Ali Khamenei wrote down three names
[06:26:45] Ones that would be kept secret as long as he remained in power as long as he remained alive
[06:26:50] But this isn't how Iran's most senior political and religious figure is meant to be chosen
[06:26:54] So, why the secrecy?
[06:26:56] That tells us something about how power works in Iran, and what Iran's powerful are truly
[06:27:01] afraid of.
[06:27:02] Iran has an elected president, but he has a limited portfolio.
[06:27:05] It has a national military, but also another parallel army that's even stronger.
[06:27:10] It has influential business leaders, but it's the religious charities that make the
[06:27:14] real money.
[06:27:15] On paper, this complicated network of economic, religious, and military alliances is meant
[06:27:19] to maintain a balance.
[06:27:21] In reality, it's led to a web of competing interests, mistrust and corruption.
[06:27:25] A web that's left only one person who is truly in control, one person holding it all together.
[06:27:32] Iran has enemies, powerful ones, who have used crippling sanctions and military might
[06:27:38] to isolate the country and push its economy to the brink of collapse.
[06:27:42] And that has exposed the deep fractures within its society, the growing disillusionment
[06:27:46] with its elites, and a desire by many for change.
[06:27:49] But the deeper the crisis gets, the wider the web is spun.
[06:27:53] The more powerful the state becomes, the weaker society.
[06:27:57] To understand what is happening in Iran today,
[06:27:59] we need to talk about the country's history of revolution,
[06:28:01] and how it led to this delicate balancing act between
[06:28:04] theocracy, democracy, and the military.
[06:28:07] One that could now be unraveling.
[06:28:09] I'm Mohamed Hassan, and this is Pinch Point,
[06:28:12] where politics and geography collide.
[06:28:19] We need to talk about Iran's revolution, but not the one you're probably thinking of.
[06:28:24] Not the one in 1979, the one that happened seven decades earlier, the constitutional revolution.
[06:28:30] In 1905, three groups came together to demand change and representation.
[06:28:34] They were the clerics, merchants, and secular reformists.
[06:28:38] The clerics represented Iran's communities in rural provinces and their traditional
[06:28:42] ties to Islam.
[06:28:43] The reformists wanted to modernize Iran and create a democratic state in line with
[06:28:47] than more Europe. And the merchants or the bazaar represented the growing middle class,
[06:28:52] the business interests that weaved the country together. Historically, power in Iran was decentralized.
[06:28:58] Each region had its own internal politics, its own leaders, and made its own decisions.
[06:29:02] It's why religious clerics hold so much influence. If you had a problem, you went to your local
[06:29:07] mosque and spoke to the Imam. This is what historian Mehran Kamrava calls a strong
[06:29:12] society with a weak state.
[06:29:14] The history of modern Iran, like the history of many other countries, is made up of this
[06:29:21] almost constant struggle between state and society, between people in position of institutions
[06:29:29] and instruments of power, trying to force their ideology, their agenda, their policies on
[06:29:37] a society that beats to its own rhythm.
[06:29:42] is receptive to these pressures from above, and sometimes either is oblivious and doesn't
[06:29:50] want to have anything to do with it, and sometimes outright resents it.
[06:29:54] And so this state society tension is one of the defining factors, in fact, the defining
[06:30:02] factor.
[06:30:03] While this lack of a strong centralized state meant each region to be left to govern its
[06:30:07] own affairs, it left Iran at the mercy of foreign powers.
[06:30:10] They saw Iran as the bridge between east and west, fertile, resource rich, and located
[06:30:16] conveniently along both ancient and modern supply routes.
[06:30:19] In other words, crime real estate.
[06:30:22] Throughout much of the 19th and 20th centuries, Russia and Britain often controlled different
[06:30:25] parts of Iran at once, trying to edge each other out through competing political and
[06:30:29] business deals with Iran's leaders.
[06:30:31] When they weren't helping one ruler stay in power, they were overthrowing another
[06:30:35] who wasn't playing bowl.
[06:30:36] But Iran's society was changing, becoming more urbanized.
[06:30:40] People moved to the cities to seek education and career prospects.
[06:30:44] There, the three sectors of Iran's society began to work with each other to imagine the
[06:30:48] type of state that could protect them from predatory colonial forces.
[06:30:52] A modern state that represented all its sectors, but one that would impose limits on absolute
[06:30:58] power.
[06:30:59] Together they wrote a constitution and established an elected parliament or a mejlis.
[06:31:03] They overthrew the Qajar dynasty and tried to usher in the change that would bring
[06:31:07] Iran into the 20th century.
[06:31:09] It's one thing to capture power, it's another to hold on to it and to be able to implement
[06:31:15] your ideas and to administer the country as vast and in a historically critical juncture
[06:31:23] when colonial powers have designs on it as Iran.
[06:31:27] The constitutional revolution never really is able to consolidate itself past maybe
[06:31:33] five years at most.
[06:31:36] And so that vacuum and political paralysis provides and facilitates an opportunity for
[06:31:44] a military strongman to step in, Reza Khan Pahlavi.
[06:31:50] A military commander with grand ambitions, Reza Pahlavi instead sidelined the parliament
[06:31:55] and the clergy, crowning himself a Shah, a king.
[06:31:58] But with all this power, he was still unable to protect Iran from foreign influence.
[06:32:03] In World War II, Britain and Russia invaded once again, forcing him to abdicate to his
[06:32:07] son, Muhammad Rejad Pahlavi, someone they could work with.
[06:32:11] In 1943, Stalin, Churchill, and Roosevelt held a conference in Tehran to debate how they
[06:32:17] could divide Iran among themselves and how they could keep it out of Germany's control,
[06:32:22] all while Iran's people were forced to watch.
[06:32:24] A decade later, Britain and the CIA overthrew Iran's Prime Minister, Muhammad Mosaddegh,
[06:32:29] a leader of the constitutional revolution after he nationalized the country's oil sector.
[06:32:34] That left the Shah with uncontested rule once more.
[06:32:37] He passed economic reforms and liberalized the country, but under his watch, powerful
[06:32:42] secret police trained by the CIA went after democratic and religious leaders, imposing
[06:32:47] a climate of fear and control.
[06:32:49] By the 1970s, worsening economic conditions pushed more people into the cities, converging
[06:32:55] the three sectors of society as revolution was again in the air.
[06:32:59] bizarre merchants went on strike, the students protested, the clerics urged their congregations
[06:33:04] to leave the mosques and take to the streets.
[06:33:06] Literally the same forces that are still, I mean it's reductive but these are the same
[06:33:11] forces that are still in play.
[06:33:14] Like the last round of protest started with the bazaaries, like the merchant class and
[06:33:19] then the students obviously joined in quickly thereafter.
[06:33:24] As far as the clergy goes, like I would say that they are obviously pro-Iraqullah.
[06:33:38] Allied around the exiled Ayatollah Ruhallah Khomeini, Iranians overthrew the Shah and
[06:33:44] his western backers.
[06:33:45] What is your own role in this government that is to come?
[06:33:49] I would not have any position in the future government as such being the
[06:33:55] president or prime minister and my job is not to be as such I would be some sort
[06:34:04] of supervising their activities I would give them guidance and if I see some
[06:34:10] deviation or some mistake I will remind them how to correct it give the general guidance
[06:34:15] you would be, in effect, the strong man of Iran.
[06:34:18] You took first.
[06:34:19] You may assume so.
[06:34:20] What followed wasn't the euphoric sharing of power everyone hoped for,
[06:34:24] but a fight for control between the three sectors of Iranian society.
[06:34:27] The clerics, with Khomeini as their head, came out on top.
[06:34:30] Iran became an Islamic republic, and the secular reformists were pushed out.
[06:34:35] Many fled the country.
[06:34:36] A new constitution was drafted,
[06:34:38] setting up a hybrid system that combined theocratic rule with democratic elements
[06:34:42] under the umbrella of Islamic law.
[06:34:44] And here's where things are getting complicated.
[06:34:46] It's helpful to imagine it as a pyramid, with the Supreme Leader, the Grand Ayatollah, at the top.
[06:34:51] He is chosen by an assembly of experts, which is elected every eight years by popular vote,
[06:34:56] as is a president and a parliament every four years, however.
[06:35:00] Any laws the parliament drafts have to be approved by the Guardian Council, which is made up of senior clerics.
[06:35:05] These guys also decide who gets to run for president and who doesn't.
[06:35:08] The clerics are picked by the supreme leader and the judiciary, and the head of the judiciary is picked by the supreme leader.
[06:35:14] You see where I'm going with this.
[06:35:16] The president oversees the cabinet and economic and foreign policy, but has no control over the armed forces, which falls under, you guessed it, the supreme leader.
[06:35:24] There's another block next to the military, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which operates as an independent security force, answerable directly to the supreme leader.
[06:35:34] and the RIGC has become a lot more than just an army.
[06:35:37] But I'll get to that.
[06:35:38] At the base of this pyramid, you have the voting electorate,
[06:35:41] the ordinary people of Iran.
[06:35:43] You have the economic merchants, the bazaar, and finally the clerics.
[06:35:47] There's also other blocks, like the Expediency Council
[06:35:49] and the Supreme National Security Council,
[06:35:51] but let's not confuse things any more than necessary.
[06:35:53] Just one year after the Islamic Republic was established,
[06:35:56] it faced another invasion in 1980,
[06:35:58] this time from its neighbor, Iraq.
[06:36:00] The war was backed by Western powers,
[06:36:02] as well as Iran's own neighbors, who all felt threatened by Khomeini's revolution.
[06:36:07] The U.S. had also begun to sanction Iran and its oil sector, isolating it economically and politically.
[06:36:12] A decade later, having survived one of the century's longest wars, the U.S.
[06:36:16] Islamic Republic emerged having done what its predecessors failed to do, protect its borders.
[06:36:21] Khomeini emerged as a strong leader at the helm of a strong state.
[06:36:26] But there was a big problem bubbling beneath the surface.
[06:36:28] The pyramid he had built was lopsided.
[06:36:30] its blocks didn't carry equal weights. For one thing, the IRGC had grown significantly,
[06:36:35] eclipsing the military and the government in power and authority. Following the war,
[06:36:40] the Revolutionary Guard was entrusted with protecting not just the country,
[06:36:43] but its revolutionary ideology. And over the next few decades, how it did that took on many
[06:36:48] forms. From backing proxy militias in Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen, the smuggling oil over the
[06:36:53] border to bypass sanctions. Its economic power ballooned, taking over major assets like infrastructure,
[06:37:00] petrochemicals and banking. And because it was only answerable to one man, it became something of
[06:37:05] a state within a state. To put this into perspective, they took some of the best aspects of state
[06:37:12] centralization and then put it under the banner of the Ayatollah. When US President Donald Trump
[06:37:18] wanted to punish Iran in 2020, he didn't go after its political or religious leaders. He
[06:37:23] assassinated Qasem Soleimani, the head of the IRGC, widely seen as the most powerful person in
[06:37:29] in Iran after the Grand Ayatollah. In June 2025, when Israel attacked Iran, they went
[06:37:34] after the IRGC generals, not its military. The clerics also gained significant economic
[06:37:39] power through local charity organizations called Ibn Yadz. For example, the Mostafa
[06:37:44] Zan Foundation was set up in 1987 to provide for the families of people killed in the
[06:37:48] revolution. Today, it's one of the largest commercial enterprises in Iran, employing
[06:37:53] hundreds of thousands of people across a number of public and private sectors.
[06:37:57] The Bouniads, which make up around 20% of Iran's economy, also answer only to the Supreme Leader.
[06:38:04] What's very interesting about these institutions is that initially they started as a charitable
[06:38:10] institutions, then become a major economic forces, but the rhetoric and the discourse
[06:38:18] they try to do now, they try to basically present themselves is that they are a part
[06:38:25] of the national development projects and this is part of the economic resistance of the state
[06:38:32] against basically the west. Today Iran looks a little more like this, with the bonyads and the
[06:38:38] IRGC controlling more than half the economy. This has limited the ability of the parliament
[06:38:42] and the president to pass meaningful economic policy or to respond to the impact of sanctions
[06:38:48] and rising inflation. When Iran is hit with a crisis, like a currency collapse,
[06:38:52] its elected officials have few levers to pull.
[06:38:54] And while the elected assembly of experts can technically influence the supreme leader,
[06:38:58] that's not really how it works in practice.
[06:39:01] In 1989, following the death of Roha La Khomeini,
[06:39:04] the assembly had to change the constitution to allow his chosen successor,
[06:39:08] former president Ali Khomeini, to become an Ayatollah.
[06:39:11] In reality, it was much more important that Khomeini
[06:39:14] had the backing of the IRGC and the clerics.
[06:39:17] So where are the other two sectors of Varan's society?
[06:39:19] The reformists and the bazaar.
[06:39:21] For one thing, the majority of the secular voices now live outside of Iran, which means
[06:39:25] those calling for change in the system have to operate within the same system.
[06:39:30] For example, in 2005, hardline conservative Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected president.
[06:39:36] He oversaw the so-called privatization of state assets, which transferred public entities
[06:39:40] to the IRGC and the bonyads, giving them government contracts worth tens of billions
[06:39:45] of dollars.
[06:39:46] He also expanded Iran's nuclear program and worsened the already-cance relationship
[06:39:50] with the U.S., leading to even more crippling sanctions being imposed.
[06:39:53] When he left office in 2013, he was replaced by a reformist president, Hassan Rouhani.
[06:39:58] Rouhani was a cleric who sat on the expediency council, which advised the Supreme Leader,
[06:40:03] not exactly an outside voice.
[06:40:05] Rouhani, responding to his predecessor's deeply unpopular policies, tried to reverse
[06:40:10] the privatization Ahmadirajad had put in place and improve relations with the
[06:40:14] U.S., leading to the Iran nuclear deal in 2015.
[06:40:29] But Ayatollah Khamenei intervened, publicly criticizing Rouhani's government for abandoning
[06:40:34] the resistance economy and being too soft on nuclear power.
[06:40:38] Since the 1979 revolution, Iran's supreme leader has maintained a special relationship
[06:40:42] with the country's merchants. When young people protested against the state, like in 2009 during
[06:40:47] the Green Movement, and in 2022 after the death of Masa Amini, Iran's leadership could feel confident
[06:40:53] they still had the loyalty of the Bazaar. But they've also borne the brunt of privatization
[06:40:57] policies, which saw their economic and political powers shrink. So in December 2025,
[06:41:02] months after the devastating 12-day war with Israel in the US, Iran's economy went into a
[06:41:07] The merchants went on strike, sparking a nationwide uprising echoing the events of 1979.
[06:41:13] When Ali Khamenei addressed the protests, there was one group in particular he was speaking to.
[06:41:37] In the name of the market and the market,
[06:41:44] we can't fight against the Islamic regime.
[06:41:50] Iran's government tried to appease the protesters by offering $7 a month to fill a shortage in people's earnings.
[06:41:57] But with a true cost of inflation much higher than the official numbers, that $7 was losing value with each passing day.
[06:42:03] And this wasn't happening by accident, but by design.
[06:42:06] President Trump ordered Treasury and our OFAC Division, Office of Foreign Asset Control,
[06:42:12] to put maximum pressure on Iran, and it's worked.
[06:42:16] Because in December, their economy collapsed.
[06:42:19] We saw a major bank go under.
[06:42:21] The central bank has started to print money.
[06:42:24] There is a dollar shortage.
[06:42:26] They are not able to get imports.
[06:42:28] And this is why the people took to the street.
[06:42:31] So this is economic statecraft.
[06:42:33] No shots
[06:42:38] When I say it though everybody fucking yells at me
[06:42:43] Like this is what's so crazy about especially this administration like this is never said out loud
[06:42:52] Normally normally
[06:42:56] At any level of leadership in the United States of America
[06:43:00] America, they don't say this out loud. Okay. It's known in the rest of the world. Everybody
[06:43:10] knows this. Like, no matter how mad you get it, like Turkey or whatever, no matter how
[06:43:15] much like currency mismanagement takes place, everyone ultimately understands that America
[06:43:21] America is fucking around.
[06:43:27] And usually America doesn't ever reveal this position.
[06:43:33] And it's really interesting that now under the Trump administration, they're openly saying
[06:43:38] it.
[06:43:39] You know, they're just like, yeah, we are, we're hitting their economy as hard as we
[06:43:45] we can through the Treasury Department to ensure that their economy collapses in and of itself
[06:43:55] to foment instability and to hopefully starve them hard enough that they fight back against
[06:44:01] their government.
[06:44:08] It's very interesting.
[06:44:10] Fired, and things are moving in a very positive way here.
[06:44:18] And here's where Iran's balancing act ultimately fails.
[06:44:21] The more power the IRGC and the clerics get,
[06:44:24] the more unchallenged power the Supreme Leader wields,
[06:44:27] the weaker the government becomes.
[06:44:29] And faced with widespread discontent
[06:44:30] and international pressure for regime change,
[06:44:33] it's left with only one tool to retain control, force.
[06:44:36] A century ago, Iran was a weak state, unable to protect itself from the outside.
[06:44:53] But it had a strong society, a rich culture, and a young generation eager for a revolution.
[06:44:59] But at the cost of consolidating power, it has instead become a strong state with a
[06:45:04] weak society.
[06:45:05] an upside-down pyramid, crushing those at the bottom.
[06:45:08] Ali Khamenei is now 86 years old.
[06:45:10] He's getting ready to transfer this enormous power.
[06:45:13] But to who?
[06:45:14] What happens if there's no consensus on who comes next?
[06:45:17] If the successor doesn't wield the same influence,
[06:45:19] or if the demands of the protesters for real change
[06:45:22] grows too loud to ignore?
[06:45:24] The answers to these questions shape
[06:45:26] not only the future of Iran,
[06:45:28] but the future of the region.
[06:45:29] A region bruised and battered by war,
[06:45:32] crippled by foreign sanctions, with vultures still circling overhead.
[06:45:37] This is also part of the reason why I say that in countries like Iran, even in countries
[06:45:43] like Russia, a decapitation strike on the existing leadership will not actually yield
[06:45:49] any positive results for the population, nor will it yield positive results for the
[06:45:57] the rest of the region, especially Iran, which is an unimaginably diverse country, like in
[06:46:05] many respects, the Ayatollahs and the IRGC's like ruthless system is in some ways what's
[06:46:14] keeping society intact.
[06:46:17] So what comes next in that power vacuum will be incredibly destabilizing.
[06:46:22] And you already have different ethnic groups in the country, many of which are backed
[06:46:26] by America, by the way, already salivating at the prospect of American strikes. All of
[06:46:34] the different Iranian Kurdish ethnic groups have already consolidated power amongst themselves
[06:46:41] and created a new like autonomous region or want to create a new autonomous region.
[06:46:47] That's going to be one of the forces that they have to deal with. Yes, I know a Turkish
[06:46:51] guy once again blaming the Kurds, but it's not a secret. You can wait for, I don't know,
[06:47:00] the Trump administration openly revealed their position on this. That might come in a week
[06:47:04] or so given the track record of this administration. Trump could easily come out and be like,
[06:47:12] the Kurds in Iran, they want freedom. They want, they're so good. They're so good.
[06:47:18] We're going to vulcanize Iran, and we're going to use the cards in Balochistan.
[06:47:25] Balochistan independence, believe it folks.
[06:47:31] So you know, there are different ethnic groups with different interests, and everything
[06:47:43] just like basically held together with ticker tape at this point. So we'll see what we'll see what
[06:47:51] happens. But I do think that more so than the bombing campaigns, the reason why there was an
[06:48:01] uprising of the merchant class was because of the economy. And I don't think America is
[06:48:07] is going to turn around and fix the economy anytime soon.
[06:48:20] So the way I see it, I mean this looks like a final play.
[06:48:34] The Iranian political forces don't want it to escalate.
[06:48:40] The IRGC seemingly is ready for war.
[06:48:45] The Ayatollah is a fairly restrained mediator.
[06:48:51] So we shall see.
[06:48:53] We have demonstrated an unbelievable level of flexibility.
[06:48:55] I mean, the maximalist demands from the American government is fucking insane.
[06:48:59] And for the record, it's just, it's just death and destruction either tomorrow or death and
[06:49:05] destruction, while Iran puts up a fight or death and destruction, regardless, after Iran dismantles
[06:49:13] his ballistic missiles capabilities, which they, I don't think they will.
[06:49:19] But ultimately the goal is destabilization, Balkanization of Iran, destabilization and
[06:49:27] utter destruction like turning Iran into Libya.
[06:49:37] And obviously the Ayatollah doesn't want that, but I mean they have a gun to their head and
[06:49:44] just as though they've had a gun to their head last time of the 12-day war, the Israel
[06:49:49] basically forced their hand to retaliate, something that they really don't like doing.
[06:49:57] I think Trump's escalations this time around will cause a more severe reaction, but we
[06:50:16] We also have, ironically enough, a more diminished American military capacity.
[06:50:28] So there's that element here, too.
[06:50:31] Like they just don't have the same munitions.
[06:50:36] They're spread too thin, and if their goal is not to protect their assets, but to also
[06:50:43] protect Israel, that's going to be very difficult. It's much cheaper for Iran to fucking lob missiles
[06:50:53] where, I mean, their entire defense industry is designed around doing that while withstanding
[06:50:59] incoming fire, right? So it's much cheaper for Iran to deploy Shahad drones and missiles
[06:51:07] and just keep fucking pummeling Israel's Iron Dome and penetrated like they did
[06:51:13] once again as they did in the 12-day war.
[06:51:20] What is this? This could have paved the way for the guy who hates a son to be
[06:51:24] elected. Lauren Boebert is calling Representative Tony Gonzalez the Rizan
[06:51:29] after leaked text showed him repeatedly pressuring a staff of renewed photos.
[06:51:32] she pushed back he kept asking she later took her own life resign what the
[06:51:39] fuck oh this is the story I saw earlier today this is real who's the guy that
[06:51:48] hates me
[06:51:52] oh Brandon Herrera is running for that same seat oh no
[06:51:58] Oh
[06:52:01] No, holy Toledo
[06:52:11] The AK guy
[06:52:14] They have 650 Tomahawk missiles to hit from the ships Iraq war had used 800 in total
[06:52:20] They need multiple rotation of ships into need double that at least
[06:52:25] Yeah, this story is fucking crazy
[06:52:28] Yeah, Brandon Herrera's winning that fucking race probably, which is crazy.
[06:52:39] Anyway, remember how SENTCOM transferred thousands of ISIS prisoners into eastern Iraq?
[06:52:45] And also that story last week about the thousands of ISIS prisoners who escaped from Syria,
[06:52:48] the IRGC's getting ready for them to invade.
[06:52:50] The IRGC's become a massive movement of troops and heavy military equipment towards
[06:52:52] the Iraqi border.
[06:52:53] I don't know how real this is.
[06:52:57] And that's just speculation right? Speaking of holy Toledo,
[06:53:06] Harry Anton on Trump's pre-state of the Union polling lows.
[06:53:10] Harry, what's your take with what you're looking at on how people are feeling about how Trump is doing in this moment?
[06:53:17] Yeah, okay. Holy Bar-a-Lita.
[06:53:19] Holy Bar-a-Lita.
[06:53:20] of Tony Blair, of course, the former prime minister of Great Britain saying,
[06:53:24] weak, weak, weak. It was weak over there in the United Kingdom. It is weak here in
[06:53:29] the United States when it comes to President Trump. Okay, Trump's not
[06:53:32] approving. Look at all the pre-Sodus polls, the so-to-state of the Union.
[06:53:36] Look at this. Okay, we're at this point. Look at that. Negative 27 points. My
[06:53:41] goodness gracious, the snow is up to the knee, sir. And Trump seems to be
[06:53:45] well underneath it at this point. Compare that to where he was in
[06:53:48] 2020 2019 and 2018 and term one going into those state unions minus 10 way
[06:53:53] lower now minus 15 way lower now minus 15 way lower now the bottom line is
[06:53:59] this Donald Trump has never been going into a state of the union address
[06:54:03] according to Orsian and polling than he is right now and weaker by a
[06:54:06] considerable amount so this is his first term to hit dude I'm shocked I just I
[06:54:11] thought he was the best president of all time and you why does he suck so
[06:54:15] much dick. He's saving America. You simpletons don't understand. By the way,
[06:54:21] shows 60 Fox News is covering it too, which is awesome. Let's take a look at the
[06:54:27] Fox News coverage before we get back to Harry M. Den new poll shows 60% disapproval
[06:54:33] of Trump. And this is just ahead of his take at the union address, which is
[06:54:36] tomorrow. Guy Benson joining me now guy. What does he have to say tomorrow to
[06:54:40] a swing voters kind of in his favor.
[06:54:45] Well, okay, let's, let's, let's Google it because this doesn't matter, right?
[06:54:53] Trump approval ratings Israel, right?
[06:54:58] Like, because, because obviously it doesn't really matter what his approval ratings in
[06:55:03] America is.
[06:55:05] What rat, what matters is what his approval ratings in Israel are.
[06:55:08] Trump one of the best U.S. presidents for Israel, majority of Israelis say, according
[06:55:12] to the index findings, 73% of Israelis rate Trump as better than average U.S. president
[06:55:20] in terms of Israel's interest with 49% describing him as one of the best in the history for
[06:55:25] Israel.
[06:55:28] Nearly three-quarters of Israelis say that U.S. President Donald Trump's policy on
[06:55:32] Israel is better than average according to the Jewish People's Policy Institute.
[06:55:36] the index is findings. 73% of Israelis rate Trump is better than average, with 49% describing
[06:55:42] him as one of the best. Dude, what can someone do for Israelis to just say 100% like best
[06:55:48] president?
[06:55:52] I think Israel is one of the most selfish, arrogant countries on the planet. He is
[06:55:57] so much better to Israel than he is to us dog, and they still are not. I mean, these
[06:56:03] These pro ratings are very good.
[06:56:04] But like what, what more could he do for Israel?
[06:56:09] Now I'm mad on his behalf.
[06:56:13] Now I'm fucking mad on his behalf.
[06:56:14] Yeah, Israelis prefer Trump to Kamala 5825 and leftoes think they're helping the Palestinians
[06:56:18] by pretending there's no difference.
[06:56:19] This guy's a fucking idiot who gives a shit that the Israelis like Trump more.
[06:56:24] The Israelis are fucking stupid about Biden.
[06:56:27] Biden also gave Israel everything and Benjamin Ineos still called him a pussy ass bitch.
[06:56:32] Paul shows Israelis massively favorite Trump over hairs in US election.
[06:56:41] Paul Lee Toledo.
[06:56:50] Let Israelis, gotta let Israelis vote in the elections.
[06:56:53] Why would you let Israelis vote in the elections?
[06:56:56] Whoever is president is the president for Israel anyway.
[06:57:01] You don't ever have to vote in the American elections if the American president is going
[06:57:06] to be serving your interests no matter what.
[06:57:10] This way, you get to have aesthetic differences of opinion, like, oh, Kamala's too woke.
[06:57:23] Anyway, now that we know the real approval rating, the one that matters, let's get back
[06:57:32] to the fucking fake American approval rating of Donald Trump.
[06:57:35] It's gonna be a hard thing to do just because as we've seen in recent years, it's kind
[06:57:39] of a self-selecting pool that watches these things at this point.
[06:57:42] So he'll have a lot of his own supporters tuned in.
[06:57:45] So I'd imagine to some extent it'll be preaching to the choir.
[06:57:48] There are people who are curious or barely follow politics who will get at least bits
[06:57:53] and pieces of it.
[06:57:54] That's the key audience politically speaking because you and I have said this before, we'll
[06:57:59] probably keep talking about it for months.
[06:58:01] When people start to feel a better economy, things could start getting better for the
[06:58:05] Republican Party.
[06:58:07] Unless and until that happens, it's going to be tough sledding like this, pun intended
[06:58:11] with the Blizzard in New York, because President Trump needs to not just tell people that
[06:58:17] things are getting better. They need to understand it on a very personal level.
[06:58:21] Now, do you think more or less disapprove of Trump?
[06:58:24] Dog, we're literally looking at. Look.
[06:58:32] What are you saying? Look at the screen.
[06:58:38] What do you think poll 60% disapprove of Trump ahead of address means?
[06:58:47] Yeah, you got it. Like 60% not majority.
[06:59:00] Huh?
[06:59:11] 60% not majority.
[06:59:13] You said fake, bruh.
[06:59:15] open the schools open the schools dude do not come do not come I'm gonna come
[06:59:26] one thing what the fuck are you saying how does it compare to other presidents
[06:59:33] at this point in their second term yeah okay it's not just that Donald Trump is
[06:59:37] breaking records compared to himself when it comes to say you and he's breaking
[06:59:41] records compared to other presidents at this point going into a state of the
[06:59:44] Union. What are we talking about? Look at all the 21st century presidents on your screen
[06:59:48] right here, about at this point a second term going into the State of the Union. Trump at
[06:59:52] minus 27 points. Obama was at minus 15 points. George W. Bush was at minus 11 points. You
[06:59:58] don't have to be a mathematical genius to know that minus 27 points is considerably
[07:00:02] lower than minus 15 or minus 11. So Trump isn't just weaker than he's ever been
[07:00:06] going into a State of the Union address. He is weaker than any other president
[07:00:10] this century going into a state of the union address
[07:00:13] at this point in their second term.
[07:00:15] Talking about it all throughout the show
[07:00:17] as we're going through these numbers,
[07:00:18] but talk about what is driving this drop for the president.
[07:00:22] Did that chatter not understand that I was making a joke
[07:00:25] when I said the American approval ratings
[07:00:27] for the American president is actually inconsequential?
[07:00:30] The real approval ratings that matter
[07:00:32] is the Israeli approval ratings,
[07:00:33] which is a joke about how Donald Trump
[07:00:36] is more of a servant of Israel
[07:00:38] than he is a servant of America.
[07:00:39] Is that what happened there?
[07:00:41] Like you did not understand that it was very clearly
[07:00:42] making a joke?
[07:00:47] Or do you just don't understand that like 60% is majority?
[07:00:53] Yes, I struggle with sarcasm.
[07:00:55] All right.
[07:01:08] Paul Lee Toledo.
[07:01:09] That is driving this drop.
[07:01:10] I said record was the name of the game when it came to this segment, right?
[07:01:14] Talking about the lowest Trump has ever been going into the State of the Union, the lowest
[07:01:18] that any president has been this century going into a State of the Union at this
[07:01:22] point in their presidency.
[07:01:23] It is also the weakest that Donald Trump has ever been with independence.
[07:01:28] Look at this Trump.
[07:01:30] We've been talking about it the past few months.
[07:01:32] At this point a year ago, Donald Trump was at minus 13 points.
[07:01:36] Look at this.
[07:01:37] Minus 47.
[07:01:38] Do you think Trump will move to Israel to avoid his monthly assassination attempts?
[07:01:49] That's so funny.
[07:01:52] other week but well until it gets to a weekly basis he's fine here I think it's
[07:01:59] always a Trump supporter too it makes it so much funnier it's literally just
[07:02:07] Trump supporters oh man points among independence the lowest Donald Trump has
[07:02:18] has ever been in either of his two terms as president with independence, that is driving
[07:02:24] these numbers when you're 47 points under water with independence. That's the name of the game.
[07:02:29] You can't be above water overall. And that's why Donald Trump is near record lows overall
[07:02:33] and the lowest he's ever been going into a state of the union address.
[07:02:36] We have a new CNN poll out this morning with President Trump's approval rating at
[07:02:41] 36%. That's lower than President Biden was at this point four years ago. And it's
[07:02:47] down 12 percentage points since a year ago just last February. Just 32% of Americans
[07:02:54] say the president is focused on the right priorities. 68% nearly seven in 10 Americans
[07:03:01] say he is focused on the wrong things. Yeah, is this good? President had this to say about
[07:03:07] tomorrow's address. Yeah, is that greatest economy we've ever had? We have the most
[07:03:12] activity we've ever had on making a speech tomorrow night. And you'll be hearing me
[07:03:17] say that it's going to be a long speech because we have so much to talk about.
[07:03:21] I'm joined by a terrific group of reporters. Kristen, I'm going to start with you and the
[07:03:28] way just showed the overall approval rating, but the story is deep in the poll with a couple
[07:03:35] of actually several.
[07:03:37] What's the Dow at? That's the real question because if it's over 50, he's good. If it's
[07:03:45] over decay he's good if he's 40 if he's 49k he's fucked okay he's fucked everybody remembers
[07:03:53] that the Trump is everybody remembers that the Trump admin is protecting petavos with
[07:03:57] a dowdros beneath 50k Trump's war ratings being nearly identical among black and Latino
[07:04:04] adults is absolutely astounding oh my god the biggest drop off from the Latino voters
[07:04:08] is crazy do you think them being transversals anything to do with them fucking up the
[07:04:15] attempts. Yeah, obviously they're fucking incompetent. They're Trump, they're Trump voters of the
[07:04:21] key demographics. I'm going to start with independence. This is one of the most remarkable
[07:04:27] stories. Oh, yeah, he's fucking the crypto bros to I'm honestly sick and tired of Trump.
[07:04:33] Nobody is winning. Joshua Jake says as a Bitcoin dips below 65, not the pedophilia
[07:04:40] and not the cannibals, another child murder, cover up crimes no longer back in your
[07:04:44] call leader Trump because your fake pedo coin went down another four percent. This is the
[07:04:52] real doubt that these guys look at. If you look at where the president was in January
[07:04:56] of 2021. This is January 6th. The attack on the Capitol. This is in the middle of COVID
[07:05:02] 32 percent. Now he's at 26 percent among independence, which means only a quarter of independence
[07:05:12] in the United States of America.
[07:05:13] Bro, Trump is really causing a fissure in American society, which I'm here for to be
[07:05:20] honest, where genuinely the only people that are holding this thing together is just lifelong
[07:05:27] Republicans like hardcore MAGA.
[07:05:30] And they're so gone.
[07:05:33] And I feel like it's gonna get to a point where everyone is just like, are you MAGA?
[07:05:37] I'm gonna beat the shit out of you.
[07:05:39] Like you're gonna have like independence that a voter for the Republican party, like with
[07:05:44] regular frequency, just genuinely despise the Republican brand forever because of Donald
[07:05:52] Trump.
[07:05:53] It's not gonna be because the Democrats are doing anything good, mind you.
[07:05:57] It's just getting to a point where like everyone's like, oh, you like Trump?
[07:06:00] I hope you kill yourself.
[07:06:02] And it's just basically like the Trump cult, and then everybody else in the country.
[07:06:11] It's also exceptional to take note of the fact that people still don't fuck with the
[07:06:17] Democrats, okay?
[07:06:19] Like they hate Donald Trump, but that doesn't mean that they like the Democratic Party.
[07:06:26] People said that about the Bush admin, and here we are, brother.
[07:06:28] the Bush admin, America voted for a Muslim Kenyan communist by the name of Barack Hussein
[07:06:36] Obama. What are you talking about? Hello? Like, yeah, what happened after George W. Bush?
[07:06:47] Now the fumble came after because turns out he's not Muslim nor is he communist, which
[07:06:52] is really shitty, right? Like, I wish, I wish if he was a Muslim Kenyan communist,
[07:06:58] probably would have fucking moved this country in a much better direction but
[07:07:04] like you're forgetting that Barack Obama Barack Hussein Obama was spectacularly
[07:07:13] popular it took eight years or maybe like this shit sucks nothing changed
[07:07:18] things are awful Obama was right wing then and right wing now no dog when he
[07:07:26] was fucking running for president. He wasn't exactly seen as like, um, you know, for again,
[07:07:35] he's black. And also his middle name is Hussein. Okay. People think Kamala Harris is the most
[07:07:47] woke, libtard on the planet. What are you talking about? And pussy too. Nobody cares
[07:07:55] about your assessment, we're talking about the average American, okay, the median voter.
[07:08:04] The median voter was like, we're voting for the Muslim, Kenyan, Communist.
[07:08:12] Who is?
[07:08:13] I'm gay and Lebanese.
[07:08:17] Yeah.
[07:08:19] A whopping 64% say both Trump and the Democrats are both out of touch showing the strong
[07:08:23] anti-establishment mood is not subsided virus fuck fear and previous weeks monkey
[07:08:34] his name is punch like this monkey is born into captivity and his mother
[07:08:40] abandoned him and he was given a plushy toy no one will hang out with him in
[07:08:45] the enclosure beat the shit out of you know first of all I don't endorse
[07:08:50] bullying unless I look at some of these people that have rose to power like
[07:08:55] Stephen Miller and I said if he would have been punched a few times when he was
[07:08:58] a kid. He's an orphan monkey! What are we talking about?
[07:09:02] See, this monkey is the next like, you're fucking talking to this monkey.
[07:09:05] This monkey would have grown up to be a right wing incel and maybe this is what he's doing.
[07:09:09] I like how you wrote that. He was bold.
[07:09:12] We need to bring back bullying so that we don't raise asses.
[07:09:15] We are going to fry sausage over this. Oh, if you haven't watched the episode, you're going to fry me for this too. I made a lot of punch jokes.
[07:09:39] Approve of the job that he is doing. Yeah, and he's very aware of that. Now, of course, I don't think any of us are surprised.
[07:09:44] any of us are surprised he's going to be getting a long speech tomorrow long in
[07:09:48] his terms of I mean that that seems like it might be really really long 90
[07:09:53] minutes before I'm right I mean he's calling it long it might be a little bit
[07:09:57] of a doozy but you know when it comes to independence when it comes to the job
[07:10:01] that he's doing there is a lot of frustration inside the White House it's
[07:10:03] not as though he is not seeing these polls we know that he is reliant on
[07:10:06] these polls we know that he is seeing polls on a regular basis from his own
[07:10:10] in-house pollsters and that's why you're hearing a lot more frustration when it
[07:10:15] comes to the president when you're hearing him give these speeches saying
[07:10:17] essentially a song knocked me out in a gay bar once yeah with my penis even just
[07:10:26] now in this event that he was doing with these angel families talking about
[07:10:30] how the media never gives him good coverage he never gets credit for
[07:10:33] anything that he's doing he believes that this is the media's fault that
[07:10:36] this is his own PRs fault and that's the reason that he's not getting the
[07:10:40] credit and that's why the polls are bad, not because of what he is focused on.
[07:10:45] It's because of how people feel out there.
[07:10:47] And you obviously every day talk to people who are on the ballot in just a few months.
[07:10:52] Yeah and he, can he actually, I know the answer to this question but I'll just ask it anyways,
[07:10:57] can he actually show some empathy to what the American public is feeling right now
[07:11:00] which is not, everything is so great, the economy is amazing, this is the best ever,
[07:11:04] and trying to churl it his way into convincing Americans that they're not feeling how
[07:11:09] they're feeling.
[07:11:10] Can he move in a direction saying, look,
[07:11:12] he's just gonna do the pocket sand move,
[07:11:15] which for him is immigrant crime, right?
[07:11:19] He's gonna be like, look at these angel families.
[07:11:20] They're so happy.
[07:11:22] They're so happy that we are occupying.
[07:11:34] Hello, what's happening?
[07:11:37] what's going on hi get out of it oh my god
[07:11:51] right place yeah he's gonna do a lake and Riley repeat he's gonna be like
[07:12:00] aren't you so excited I've invaded American cities I've a man I've invaded
[07:12:06] American cities with my Gestapo. Don't you feel wonderful? Look, this, what do they call
[07:12:16] them? Angel Mom is so happy that I'm killing Americans. Like that's what's going to happen.
[07:12:27] We understand there's pain right now that people are feeling. We are working on it
[07:12:31] to deal with it. What does that sound? What do you mean? It's my place in the...
[07:12:36] There's a real button on my desk that I press now to electrocute my dog.
[07:12:44] This is people were... This is people were wondering. This is people were wondering.
[07:12:54] And it seems like... It seems like people love that I'm electrocuted my dog
[07:12:59] as we have reached new levels of prominence that we had never reached before with 46,000
[07:13:07] people watching the bots are back chat getting bought it again.
[07:13:17] Hates the joy of snowball fights?
[07:13:35] She really does look like
[07:13:37] Rattasary chicken, I can't get over it.
[07:13:44] Hi.
[07:13:49] Wait.
[07:13:53] When will you be showing Kaya snow?
[07:13:56] Oh man.
[07:13:58] I really got to do that.
[07:14:03] This is why he's never seen snow before.
[07:14:04] I want to make sure he gets a really good look at it for science.
[07:14:08] Oh.
[07:14:12] Oh.
[07:14:14] North Korea's higher apology. Yeah, they're botting me now. North Korea is botting me
[07:14:25] because they saw my apology.
[07:14:33] X be very specific. We're dealing with X. We're dealing with Y. We're dealing with
[07:14:36] Z. That's not really in town Trump's DNA. So I think we can expect him to try to
[07:14:40] try to convince a very skeptical American public.
[07:14:43] Tomorrow is going to be probably his biggest audience he's going to have before the midterm
[07:14:47] elections and his opportunity to try to reset some Americans' perceptions of how the job
[07:14:53] that he is doing in office.
[07:14:54] But this midterm is going to be a referendum on him, which is why those numbers are freaking
[07:14:59] out Republicans who are going to be on the ballot in November.
[07:15:02] Yeah.
[07:15:03] I mean, independents are, I mean, not only the swing voters, but they are the
[07:15:07] get it down there.
[07:15:08] The sort of tell-tale sign of where things are headed with regard to the next time there's
[07:15:15] a major election, and it's really, really bad for Republicans.
[07:15:20] Latino, the Latino vote, this is another stunning change for the president.
[07:15:26] This is one year ago, if you look up on the screen, one year ago, February of 2025,
[07:15:32] 41 percent with Latinos.
[07:15:35] Now it has literally plummeted to 22% approval rating among Latino voters.
[07:15:42] Yeah, and that was really one of the big questions from the 2024 election, was whether
[07:15:45] the support that the president had gotten from Latino voters will hold.
[07:15:49] We started to see some cracks in that coalition, thinking back to the New Jersey governor's
[07:15:54] race where Mikey Sherrill made up a lot of ground with the Latino voters who had
[07:15:57] shifted towards President Donald Trump.
[07:15:59] But there's frustration within the Latino community about those same issues, troubling
[07:16:03] everyone, the cost of living and the economy, but also the approach to immigration.
[07:16:08] And so it'll be interesting to see if there is any way for Trump to kind of gain that
[07:16:13] type of ground back, but also what it means for other Republicans.
[07:16:16] I'm thinking about all those districts down in Texas, where you have a large Latino populations
[07:16:21] that they felt were shifting towards Republicans.
[07:16:24] That may not exactly be the case in the next midterm election.
[07:16:26] And Emily, I know you're seeing some of this already play out in the special election
[07:16:29] in Georgia to replace Marjorie Taylor-Green.
[07:16:31] Yeah, it was interesting.
[07:16:32] I was down there last week and this is a group of people who are reliably conservative who help send Trump to the White House twice
[07:16:39] But they're also independently minded, so they don't like being told what to do
[07:16:43] They don't just listen to the president based on I'm gonna have James Tallory go on the broadcast. By the way speaking of Texas
[07:16:51] They house
[07:16:57] Before March 3rd
[07:16:59] Oh God, I hear everywhere.
[07:17:09] Or how people bought in you?
[07:17:10] I don't fucking know dude.
[07:17:12] But what he says now that he is in the government, which this group of people is very skeptical
[07:17:17] of, and so you see one of the main issues that is resonating with those folks is still
[07:17:22] immigration and so the White House feels pressure I think responsive to that base, responsive
[07:17:26] to others, like them to keep hammering that issue home.
[07:17:29] But then it is alienating some of these other voters
[07:17:31] who you talked about.
[07:17:32] So it's like a delicate dance.
[07:17:34] It's remarkable that, sorry, just on the polling
[07:17:36] about how the demographic groups,
[07:17:38] he's really under water with everybody.
[07:17:40] I mean, he's struggling with Latinos.
[07:17:42] Then you have to have Jasmine Crogat on, too.
[07:17:44] I mean, I'd be down, but I don't think she'd be down
[07:17:46] to come on, let's be real.
[07:17:47] is jasmine krager coming on to
[07:17:56] again i'd be down to have both of them on i just don't think that jasmine krager will want to come on
[07:18:05] address the view by allegages man brother what the fuck do you think is going on you think
[07:18:10] at at seven hours into my stream i magically have 130 000 viewers is that are you stupid
[07:18:16] Yes, I was fucking viewbotting me. Austin just said yeah, it's me
[07:18:25] Like what do you think is going on chatter?
[07:18:30] What do you think is happening?
[07:18:32] No, there's a real uptick
[07:18:36] There's a real uptick in interest
[07:18:38] in Trump's
[07:18:40] Approval ratings leading up to the state of the Union black voters we made games with the black voters
[07:18:46] at least better than previous cycle.
[07:18:48] He is really struggling with black voters,
[07:18:50] younger voters, it's just across the board,
[07:18:52] which is what's so stunning about him.
[07:18:54] Sorry, Joe, Joe, sorry, yeah, oh.
[07:18:55] Among young voters, pretty much the same amount
[07:18:58] that he did with Latino voters.
[07:19:00] And then just looking at the issues,
[07:19:02] the issues that they want,
[07:19:04] people want the president to talk about
[07:19:06] in his address tomorrow night.
[07:19:08] I mean, nothing even comes close
[07:19:10] to the economy and cost of living.
[07:19:12] It's really stark.
[07:19:14] to look at that at the top of the screen
[07:19:16] and form policy where he has been spending
[07:19:18] a lot of his time, it barely even registers there.
[07:19:22] Chris?
[07:19:23] Yeah, I mean, I think that that's,
[07:19:25] this is actually the first time I'm looking
[07:19:26] at all of the columns together.
[07:19:28] And I think that's pretty stunning the fact
[07:19:30] that the focus is the economy and the cost of living.
[07:19:32] And I think this is also where President Trump's strengths
[07:19:34] are some of his greatest weaknesses, right?
[07:19:36] One of the things that we hear,
[07:19:38] heard from President Trump on the campaign trail
[07:19:39] was this idea that he was able to really fixate
[07:19:42] on a topic like the economy and drive home
[07:19:45] why it is that he cared so much about it and why he thought he could do a better job.
[07:19:49] This is also his detriment because when he goes up there now he doesn't want to talk
[07:19:53] about the economy.
[07:19:54] He doesn't want to talk about cost of living. He knows how people feel. He wants to talk
[07:19:58] about other things that he's doing, like the positives he feels he's doing when it
[07:20:01] comes to immigration.
[07:20:03] That's not what people want to hear. So the more they hear about that, the
[07:20:06] angry
[07:20:07] Wow, Gavin Newscombe just dropped out of the presidential race, President DJT.
[07:20:15] What?
[07:20:16] Like, this isn't a fake post, like this is from Taylor Papalars, who's like a real journalist.
[07:20:30] Your impact.
[07:20:33] This op-ed I kiddo not criticize China for not using his military to core smaller countries
[07:20:40] and doing its bidding specifically mocks China for having its power check by local courts
[07:20:46] rather than just using his navy to menace weaker nations.
[07:21:02] at the post is a real post. He knows Gavin is illiterate, so we can't read this.
[07:21:13] I'm old now, I'm washed, like seven hours in I get delirious.
[07:21:33] They're more frustrated than you get but they're not hearing about what he's doing on the
[07:21:37] economy.
[07:21:38] He himself wants to focus on anything but where he knows people are having issues
[07:21:42] with his performance. I just want to quickly listen to some of the comments from people
[07:21:49] who responded in this poll. Republican from Pennsylvania, Republican from Ohio, and then
[07:21:54] ... Shut the fuck up, TopG. We will never fire the
[07:21:58] first shot, but we will make sure you cannot fire the second shot. Yeah, okay, dude. Yeah.
[07:22:04] Unless firing the second shot implies that you can't do trade with that country any longer,
[07:22:09] Okay, get the fuck out of here.
[07:22:12] You can't be talking this big of a game.
[07:22:15] Okay, listen.
[07:22:17] I take full ownership of responsibility over the role that I play in the Imperial
[07:22:23] Corps in, in the genocide, in Israel, the genocide in Gaza, in all of America's
[07:22:30] evil machinations, but you can't be talking like China is doing things when
[07:22:38] The only thing China is doing is selling LaBooBoo's to Israel and also surveillance technology.
[07:22:46] Get out of here. Okay. You can't be talking like that.
[07:22:55] Yeah. What China, you know what China's going to do? They're going to trade max. Okay.
[07:22:59] Your president is a rapist pedophile, bro. I know. I know.
[07:23:04] Is that the bar now? We're just like, you know, well, at least the Chinese president is not that. Okay, sick.
[07:23:12] Oh, shit. What did I miss? 155,000 viewers. That's almost a neon raid.
[07:23:17] Aiden Ross raid.
[07:23:20] Democrat from Connecticut.
[07:23:23] The cost of living, the cost of groceries, the cost of gas. It has come down a little bit, but I don't think it's come down enough.
[07:23:32] My wife is retired. We're on a fixed income.
[07:23:36] I would like to see President Trump talk about the autonomy and cost of living because it is so difficult at this time to provide.
[07:23:47] It's a retired public school teacher who worked my entire life. I'm struggling in ways I never expected at 75 years old. Everything has become so expensive.
[07:23:59] And that is what the president is reading it. She's reading it is fake. She's not real is just fake. It's fake
[07:24:07] Fucking Gotham
[07:24:09] um
[07:24:11] Yeah, Trump's Latino voters cratering pretty convenient to the popularist stop remembering how to read issue polls every time
[07:24:16] Neocons of corporate centers are on the wrong side of a popular opinion
[07:24:19] Here's Madaglacius. I'm 100% sure that there are people who voted for Trump out of the mistaken belief that he would be better
[07:24:25] The question you want to ask is whether Harris being less pro-Israel would have won votes
[07:24:30] on net.
[07:24:31] There were two extremist pro-Israel candidates, meanwhile a solid majority of americans were
[07:24:35] quickly souring on the continued aid to Israel.
[07:24:37] Trump sent nonsensical signals about being more pro-peace than clearly landed.
[07:24:42] For some unknowable reason, Harris' team decided that instead of fighting back, she
[07:24:46] should send the opposite nonsensical signals to try to outflank him with the neocons.
[07:24:51] And those also clearly landed.
[07:24:53] And now here we are, and no one has learned a fucking thing.
[07:24:57] That's it.
[07:24:58] Like, there is not really anything more to learn from the autopsy that we didn't know before
[07:25:08] the fucking election concluded.
[07:25:11] Okay?
[07:25:15] The autopsy of the Democratic Party is not being released, even though Axios has leaked
[07:25:21] one part of it, or at least like some Democrat consultants leak the part of it to Axios.
[07:25:28] And it basically revealed what we knew already.
[07:25:32] Gaza was a big part of, or Gaza played a big role in Kamala Harris's defeat.
[07:25:39] Oh my God, how surprising.
[07:25:42] Who would have fucking thought?
[07:25:46] And of course the entire commentariat that kept undermining the impact of Gaza on the
[07:25:54] election are now running around, making it seem as though it's actually insignificant.
[07:26:04] Sam Cedar exonerated you today with what, what do you say?
[07:26:12] it's so crazy because I'm willing to fucking bet that that autopsy was the most conservative
[07:26:21] autopsy you could arrive at. Okay. And even then it was undeniable that Israel was a major
[07:26:29] reason why people stayed at home or at least enough people stayed at home.
[07:26:37] huh
[07:26:39] and yet as that said biggest thing dems could do
[07:26:42] for their current position in my opinion is to have true moral convictions
[07:26:45] they love to wait till the polls tell them something is confirmed okay and by
[07:26:49] that time
[07:26:50] it's too late
[07:26:51] you should try believing in something anything for the first time even at
[07:26:55] point of risk
[07:26:58] and then of course maddox lacy's comes in like the fucking asshole that he is
[07:27:02] in goes but you'll buy them a true moral convictions about gaza you just
[07:27:05] disagree with them
[07:27:06] Just as many voters disagree with Democrats convictions on trans girls
[07:27:09] participation in school sports teams or affirmative action in colleges missions.
[07:27:14] I can't deal with this anymore.
[07:27:17] I can't do it.
[07:27:19] I can't do it.
[07:27:20] Every time I see a maddy glaceous tweet, I, I am, I understand why people,
[07:27:25] why people built gulags.
[07:27:27] Okay.
[07:27:29] I, I understand it.
[07:27:30] I understand it now.
[07:27:32] Prison abolition is a fleeting concept for me.
[07:27:36] Okay, what I didn't realize is we need more prisons. Okay, Angela Davis be damned
[07:27:43] Our prisons obsolete the answer is fuck no
[07:27:47] Okay, turns out I actually believe in in the concept of a thought crime
[07:27:54] It's just like he is so
[07:27:58] Fucking wrong all the time. He's so wrong all the time and he's such a fucking asshole
[07:28:06] He's such a fucking asshole about it and I know he's got motion because he constantly dick eats billionaires
[07:28:13] He's got motion with like the true minority the only minority that matters billionaires
[07:28:19] Okay, he keeps telling him what they want to fucking hear
[07:28:25] Just an awful egg-shaped demonic person
[07:28:30] Yeah, the real POCs, people of capital, people of means, people of wealth.
[07:28:43] Those Hitler particles acting up on, watch out, lol, no, no, no, no, no, I don't think
[07:28:49] people should be drawn and quartered for inalienable traits.
[07:28:55] This is the Stalin particles acting up.
[07:28:59] different very very different not hit larian particles is is stalin esk
[07:29:10] cuz it's like are you getting bothered again no I just have 158,000 viewers man
[07:29:15] yes I'm getting bothered I can't deal with this shit man I cannot deal with
[07:29:27] this shit
[07:29:29] gavin has an autopsy
[07:29:30] as i was right corporate and so gavin is will abandon trans people are any
[07:29:33] minority normal
[07:29:35] no doubt
[07:29:36] the democratic party
[07:29:38] dare i say more culturally normal
[07:29:40] i believe that
[07:29:42] uh... less prone to spending
[07:29:45] disproportionate time on
[07:29:48] pronouns identity politics
[07:29:50] more focused on tablecloth issue things that really matter the stack in
[07:29:54] stress in terms of electricity bills and childcare costs and health care and
[07:29:57] obviously housing costs. I mean he's not even like entirely wrong is just his
[07:30:02] delivery comes off as like he's saying yeah fuck trans people okay. Any moment
[07:30:08] that you spend talking about trans people is a wasted opportunity to talk
[07:30:13] about what what every American including trans people care about which
[07:30:18] is kitchen table issues not tabletop issues. I don't know why the fuck he
[07:30:22] said that what is he like a D&D guy and how easily we get trapped in that how
[07:30:28] I've fallen prey to that I mean here I was way out front on marriage college so
[07:30:33] I understand this from both in the receiving end of this and on the no
[07:30:37] doubt that like there's no reason to bring up fuck trans people as your
[07:30:42] first statement out of the gate okay like you need to say both parties do not
[07:30:52] care about material issues that plague the American working class. We must center the
[07:31:00] American working class in our policy goals. We must make life more affordable for the
[07:31:07] American working class. The working class needs a life of dignity. Long gone are the
[07:31:14] days where we center the working class in our thoughts and in our policies and in
[07:31:20] in our agenda. We must never have to compromise on issues that pertain to marginalized identities
[07:31:29] because after all, they are our neighbors. They are workers too. Okay? None of this shit.
[07:31:38] Just use fucking socialist language. I mean, I obviously Gavin Newsom is never gonna
[07:31:44] do that but like I think AOC if you are listening use the use Marx's language
[07:31:49] it's okay use class first language class is class offers universality it's the
[07:31:56] 99% okay
[07:32:02] what the fuck is culturally normal
[07:32:07] I know clippers gonna blows out a proportion what a song I be saying is don't divide by
[07:32:15] trying to unite is dumb as fuck.
[07:32:19] And you are under zero obligation to lean into Republican agendas.
[07:32:27] You are under zero obligation to talk about whatever the fucking Republicans want you
[07:32:32] to talk about.
[07:32:33] Talk about what you want to talk about.
[07:32:35] the conversation. That's it.
[07:32:55] Terminally wrong for two decades by the way 2007. Maddie, I want my barely legal porn.
[07:33:02] Fuckin' dude.
[07:33:04] Bruh.
[07:33:06] Dude.
[07:33:08] Bruh.
[07:33:10] Dude.
[07:33:12] Oh God.
[07:33:18] You do not want to go back to 2006?
[07:33:20] Pedophilia.
[07:33:24] Madaglaceous.
[07:33:26] Pedophilia.
[07:33:28] FAAAGH!
[07:33:30] to think of the weeds of apologetics here,
[07:33:32] but it's certainly true that the use of the term pedophilia
[07:33:35] in the context of Mark Foley scandal should be resisted.
[07:33:38] What Foley was up to was sleazy and wrong,
[07:33:40] and it seems possibly illegal.
[07:33:43] But being attracted to older teens isn't pedophilia.
[07:33:46] I think the gay angle clouds people's thinking
[07:33:48] about this.
[07:33:50] You'll see on the right a photo
[07:33:51] of Scarlett Johansson in Ghost World.
[07:33:53] She was born on November 22nd, 1984,
[07:33:56] and the film was released in 2001.
[07:33:57] So it would have been shot as she was 16 years old.
[07:34:00] I think it's rather self-evident that the class by anyone who thinks is a picture of an attractive woman as a pedophile
[07:34:06] Would be the drain the term of any real meaning
[07:34:09] One could fairly subject a much older man actively pursuing a sexual issue with a 16 year old to all sorts of criticism
[07:34:16] But pedophilia isn't a plausible candidate
[07:34:21] Update
[07:34:30] I can't. Is this sarcasm? No, it's not.
[07:34:37] Even earlier 2002, Madaglacias on war mongering.
[07:34:42] It was the monger for war that this site was set up.
[07:34:47] Those many months ago, and though the resurgence of domestic issues has been distracting me of late, I still like to give in my simps, simplest, simplest May.
[07:34:56] Races blood 30 30 side
[07:34:59] Everyone's in Hawaii hands this link to Oliver will his imaginings of what an anti-war crowd would have said about World War two
[07:35:04] Doubtless and unfair rhetorical strategy of some sort, but funny as hell nonetheless
[07:35:16] Matt you glacis yeah, Matt Matthewie Glacius philosopher
[07:35:23] Psychologist

[07:36:09] really loves to share over and over and over again like that's the word of God
[07:36:12] yeah oh Matt Iglesias oh my god Matt fucking Iglesias dude he is such a
[07:36:22] cancer. He is such a fucking cancer to this goddamn party. It is disastrous. Absolutely
[07:36:35] fucking disastrous. Yesterday I saw a review count. I got scared. Someone got assassinated
[07:36:41] or couped law. You're botting I have proof. Yeah. Anyway, I thought we're all watching
[07:37:01] because America got bombed by Iran? No.

[07:37:20] Anyway, that's all I got for today. I'm tired. I'm fucking tired, chat.
