So cool, military base, you're rocking down,

most of the rundown, the world of robotics,
you're getting out of your hand in the game,
most of the rundowns,
the ZZ4s out, the Z3,
the picture hand in the game,
turn the army on, power on light,
eyes roll up,
16, horizon, secret, the light said, right, I stole an F-16

Wait till 20th, we'll take next time
I stole an F-16
I apologize. What's going on everybody? I'm live. I'm alive and I have all the boys, girls,
and everybody's having a fantastic one because today's a beautiful day. Today's a wonderful
It's not it's not a beautiful day. Wonderful day
It's I did the double intro because I was too busy getting my coffee because my entire life is falling apart because I I
Did not steal enough 16, but um
As you guys know, I have a morning ritual. I'm very very
Autistic about following my my process. I need to have my two
double espresso shots in the beginning of the day and I didn't get to have them
and that's why everything is falling apart because obviously the Amer-Israeli
World War Epstein that we've been talking about for the past week is
finally here. It's happening. America and Israel last night struck Iran. The
nation-state of Iran with 93 million population America and Israel have
officially launched an attack on Iran World War E. World War Epstein is here
and there's still there's still motherfuckers out here who are there's
still motherfuckers out here who will be like oh my god like I saw a news hit on
NPR talking about how Jean-Luc Mélenchon said Epstein, and in France they're talking about
how anti-Semitic it is that Jean-Luc Mélenchon said Epstein. Like I need people to get fucking
serious right now. Okay, I need people to get fucking serious. Conversations surrounding like
the utilization of the term goyim, conversations around, you know, how how American feelings
are gonna be hurt in this process. Conversations around standpoint epistemology about how the
Persian monarchists feel about striking a totally fucking foreign sovereign country with 93 million
people. All of those conversations are utterly material, utterly irrelevant, and I am not going
to have any fucking... I'm not going to give any room for dumb fucking bullshit like that.
today. Let's be real. America and Israel are functionally, and I think it's pretty understandable
for the average person with a heart and conscience and a soul to see this. From the perspective of
anyone that's living in the periphery, American and Israel are basically the great Satan.
I live here. I'm an American citizen. I'm a dual citizen as an American and Turkish citizen,
But like you kind of look at what we have done around the world and you start developing certain
feelings where you're like, well, I mean, I guess there were KPD guys in Nazi Germany before the
Nazis took power, right? Like there was the SPD, there's a KPD. There were people who were
anti-fascist, they were infighting. We must learn from those lessons. My point is,
Because just because you're an American doesn't mean that you can't comprehend that we are
the great white devil, you know, like there were plenty of historical figures of note
of notoriety of worth that lived in these countries that we now know are historically
evil countries like Nazi Germany once again, where people did actually resist people did
actually recognize the real danger that fascism presented and people tried to fight back to
the best of their ability and try to thwart the development of fascism in these countries.
I'm just saying, I'm thinking about different historical periods. Now of course, the fucking
uh rike never had nuclear arms they never had burgers either so we are in a different predicament
right we're in we're in the burger rike predicament nuclear armed burger rike uh situation 800
military bases around the world um no real uh international competitors when it comes to warfare
and we're this towering domineering force all around the globe. We just destroy
whoever we see fit and all of our enemies. We will kill all of their
children and we'll sit there and we'll sell you, we'll package you. This idea is
though it's for some kind of emancipatory purpose and that's
precisely what America is doing and they're not even doing it that good. In
In comparison to previous attempts of imperialism, not to say that this is, you know, somehow
making things better, obviously I would never say that, but like, in comparison to the,
like the Trump administration, when compared to the Bush administration, as far as like
a sophisticated messaging apparatus that justified why we had to go to Iraq and bomb Iraq and
invade Iraq and take all the juicy, delicious oil from the ground in Iraq.
The Bush administration makes the Trump administration look like fucking savages.
The George W. Bush administration and the neocons of the past make this current administration
look like barbaric apes.
They were monsters, but they at least had a sophisticated tool and a propaganda apparatus
that tried to package this war, package this illegal and unjust war that displaced tens
of millions of people, a 20-plus year occupation, specifically at the behest of empire, at
the behest of capital.
And now the Trump administration doesn't even see a purpose in doing that.
Why is this important?
It's important because I hate to report this to you, Chatter, but you and I were fucking
cattle.
We're cattle.
That's it.
They don't see the need to ask us for our consent on this.
At least in the past, they would make it feel like we were involved in some way.
They would try to coerce us into getting involved.
They would try to manufacture consent.
But the reality of the matter is we are cattle and our consent is not necessary because
our tools of fighting back against the masters have been destroyed.
they have been completely destroyed.
Do you understand?
What I'm talking about is labor unions, labor militancy,
an understanding of class,
an understanding that wars at the behest of empire,
wars at the behest of capital
are not actually conducted for the working class's needs,
but instead are conducted by the working class,
because it'll be the working class
that goes out and fucking dies in those boats.
It'll be the working class that gets blown up in the periphery.
There's no understanding of that anymore in America.
There's no understanding of that anymore in the Western world, Mark Carney, I spit on you.
You fucking son of a bitch, you came out in Davos, you said, middle powers need to rise
up and dignify themselves and develop sovereignty for themselves.
We will no longer be bullied. Why? Because Donald Trump said he was going to treat white
European countries like he treats nations in the periphery for once. You saw Middle
Powers speak out. Or at least Mark Carney spoke out. Mark Carney speaking today as well. He
spoke out today. He said, Israel has a right to defend itself.
So do I think this is overall a bad thing?
Do I think that the Western world
and the international consortium
of collaborative finance capital,
dominating every aspect of our lives
and constantly waging war,
constantly fucking killing people,
constantly throwing orphans
under the orphan crushing machine,
All at the behest of the almighty dollar
so that a hand selected tiny sliver of the population
makes unlimited super profits.
Do I think that that's an overall bad thing?
Yes, I do.
I do think that's an overall bad thing.
I do.
I think it's a disaster.
It is unacceptable.
It's a disaster of epic proportions.
It's...
It's unlimited superviolence.
Anyway.
But we're gonna cover it, but that's why I'm live early.
Okay?
I'm live early because
You think any good will come from it like a byproduct of violence
and maybe one day if the American Empire falls as a consequence of of
the war of attrition
As a consequence of spreading itself too thin all around the globe as it tries to maintain dominance as it tries to
Hold on to its hegemony and one day the American Empire will crumble
It will be very painful for everyone living in the imperial core. It will be very painful for it will be even more painful for those
Who actually have to exist outside of the imperial core, but eventually change will come
You know one can hope it's just the reality I
Hope you're ready for an ungodly amount of freaks in the chat. I'm ready for it
I'm ready for it. Are they doing boots on the ground? I'm not super tapped in no
They're not going to, I mean, not for the time being, uh, it's entirely dependent on how much of a resistance the Iranian, uh, government can put up, how much of a resistance the Iranian government can put up, how much Iran can punish Israel, how much Iran can punish American
air strike, uh, American carriers in the region. I'm going to get into all of that right now. But let's get started. U.S. and Israel launch an attack on Iran.
Rocked multiple cities across Iran, including its capital, Tehran.
Videos from Tehran show smoke.
You see it here, billowing over the city.
And now we're getting reports of explosions in Gulf Arab countries, hosting U.S. military
bases.
Live look now at Abu Dhabi, where explosions were reported in addition to Bahrain and
Qatar.
A video now of an explosion in Bahrain officials say a missile hit the service center
of the U.S. Navy's fifth fleet in the country.
These strikes have been barely a day after the latest round of indirect nuclear talks
between Iran and the U.S., and sources tell CNN the U.S. military is planning for these
attacks to last for days.
Israel said the same, and both President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu are now calling for regime change.
To the great, proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom
is at hand. Stay sheltered. Don't leave your home. It's very dangerous outside. Bombs will
be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours
to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations. Iran media reported just
hours ago that Iran brah, our hearts not in it. Our hearts not in it. You know what
I mean, it's like, in order to do this kind of regime change,
you have to come in with boots on the ground.
And maybe they will try and do that,
but I do think that that will inevitably lead
to the end of America, okay?
It will certainly lead to the end of Iran, as we know it,
but I think it will also lead to the end of America.
Um, what's remarkable about that is the admission, the admission that American sons and daughters
will die, right?
Because, I mean, we're slaves, we're all slaves, we're wage slaves of a different sort, we're
all slaves to empire at the end of the day, um, especially some of the poorest who thought
that they could get a fucking comms degree, you know what I mean, for free, uh, an amenity
pretty much offered by every other competent social democracy, the opportunity for upward
social mobility that's given to every single citizen unconditionally in the United States
of America.
You have to become a slave to the Pentagon and you have to go and, you know, sell
your soul to the American government so you can go and you can slaughter other people's
sons and daughters overseas. You gotta go kill some children, you know, and then you get fucked
up in the head. Hopefully, you don't get your dick shot off while protecting a poppy field,
right? For JSOC so they can actually keep doing clandestine operations and drug trafficking,
stuff like that, right? So you come back to the United States of America with crippling PTSD,
And then you get a fucking comms degree so you can have your job if you're lucky enough to get one by the way
Then you can have your job be stolen by artificial intelligence
So some fucking faceless lifeless dickhead billionaire can turn
um, you know can can turn on the gdp machine and uh make a little bit more money
Year over year and it's fucking awesome and then you sit around angry and you think to yourself
While I have an unlimited arsenal of weapons, will I actually organize? Will I actually topple the system?
No, I'm just gonna either kill myself and my family, or I'm just gonna take the arsenal of weapons that I have and
shoot up the nearest fucking kindergarten.
That's just the average American existence. And then we sit around and think, oh well, as long as this
domineering force that is like broadly defined as
American Empire is killing other school children overseas, I feel a little powerful, right?
People sit there, eat their potato chips at home in their crusty boxers and watch their
favorite fucking incel decrepit twitch streamers and think, no, this force projection is good.
It makes me feel fucking good.
Well, your life sucks.
Your life sucks.
You have no freedom.
You're fucking cattle.
You are literally a goddamn slave.
Some of you are slaves without actually even working, but that's just the reality, right?
I myself am a part of this process as well.
I play a role in this fucking sham.
I play a role in this song and dance as well.
I try to yell, I try to wake people up to these realities, but for the most part,
you know, it's very difficult, it's very difficult for people to, to even envision
any sort of change because we have been reduced to being servile cattle for many, many years
at this point.
Many generations ago.
I'll just hit this early.
May Allah awaken the people and help them to see the evil doings of Israel and the United States
Well, inshallah one day in any case
Here you want to see
Here you want to see who you're doing this for remember remember remember why this is happening when you when gas prices shot
When gas prices shoot up because the Strait of Hormuz is now officially mined and damned and closed and that's like 10% of fucking all
Global oil commerce that that won't happen any longer and all of a sudden you're at the fucking pump and you're like why is why is gas?
$15 a gallon how did this happen? Remember who you're fighting for
When you think to yourself, why don't I have health care, like countries that have significantly
less money than the United States of America can offer free health care.
Well, they have free health care in Israel for the record.
They have free health care in Israel.
Just so you know, they don't have to worry about defense, for example.
We want to know why they don't have to fucking worry about defense because we got that shit
covered baby.
USS Gerald Ford, the poopshoot is encircling the Israeli coastline so we can have maximum
defense for Israel as we fight Israel's war in Iran.
You know, remember that.
Anyway, I think this is an older video from the last time Israel fucking tried to blow up Iran and then Iran
Um
Decided to retaliate
Working-class magic, did you see israel responded to you?
Oh great
There's no such thing as a preemptive strike
I said israel is striking iran in spite of the negotiations of the oman mediator tried to publicize in the us media to avoid
This exact outcome little did they know israel gets what it desires even if it collapses the west
That's awesome.
I'll be sending that gift back when people are talking about how scared they are in the bomb shelters.
already launched dozens of ballistic missiles at Israel. And Qatari officials say that Qatari
already intercepted two Iranian missiles indicating Iran is carrying out that plan to retaliate.
And our team is up and covering this breaking story from around the world. Look at Zat Cohen
and elaine the tree in just a moment but i want to start with ceo and jeremy
diamond first he's in tell of the
jeremy uh... have uh... any of the the iron dome intercepted any of those
missiles as their timing on when those might arrive
well we certainly know that iran has already fired a barrage of ballistic
missiles uh... at israel we had sirens going off not only here in tell of the
but also in jerusalem in northern israel in southern israel pretty
much Israelis everywhere across the country, millions heading to bomb shelters as those
ballistic missiles came in. It does appear that there were several intercepts. We have
not yet gotten reports of any actual impacts as a result.
Okay. So the shortest week of it is last night at around 10 30, 10 30 PM Pacific time
as I was laying in bed, trying to close my eyes to wake up and work out early in
morning and go live with the hopes that like, you know, Iran had still not been struck. I
found out that Iran had, as a matter of fact, been struck by Israel and the United States
of America. Okay. They tried to do an early decapitation strike, hit numerous Hittis
from Isfahan to Tehran and many others. They blew up schools because obviously Israel
Israel can't fucking not blow up schools.
Like I need you to understand if Israel doesn't fucking blow up a school every week, they will
literally implode.
Do you want Israel to implode?
Do you want Israel to kill themselves?
Do you want the Israeli government to engage in collective suicide?
How anti-Semitic of you?
Okay?
How anti-Semitic of you to think these thoughts?
Of course Israel has to fucking kill school children overseas.
Israel has to kill schoolchildren on a weekly fucking basis.
Do you understand?
They have to do it.
They have to do it.
This is the only way to liberate the masses, okay?
The Israeli economy runs on exploded schoolchildren, and some schoolchildren have to fucking die.
40 elementary schoolgirls killed 9 to 13 years old.
Thank you, Israel.
you America. In any case, they did all of that, and then Iran retaliated. And this retaliation
is different from the 12-day war. You will never get the full scope of exactly what's
going on if you go on fucking Twitter unless you know exactly what to look for, because
the entire information apparatus on social media is polluted with bots, polluted with
human beings that operate like fucking bots, okay? It's, it's insane.
Misinformation, uh, misinformation of, of epic magnitudes. And no, the Gulf States are
not actually receiving the brunt of this impact. The Gulf States that have American
radar systems inside of American fucking, uh, bases inside of the Gulf States are
receiving the brunt of the impact, with the exception of Dubai. Dubai has actually
received a little bit more and maybe some of the Gulf states will receive even more of the bombing but
so far the reason why I say it's a little bit different than the 12-day wars because Iran
immediately retaliated by striking American radar systems in Bahrain, in the UAE, in Qatar
and they've actually effectively taken out multiple billions of dollars worth of radar
systems and early advance warning systems that the American government has designed
all around the region. Now, of course, America knew this was going to happen just so you know,
because that, that is going to yield tremendous prosperity for the military industrial complex.
You blow up $2 billion worth of radar systems. But guess what? That means we got to rebuild.
That means new contracts. That means new fucking contractors. That means new workers
that will fly out into the Gulf and, and hastily rebuild these military bases. So
that's not a bad thing. That's a good thing. America knew that that was going
to happen. That's why they brought in their entire AWACS fleet. The aerial surveillance
systems that we have at our disposal created by Lockheed Martin, created by Boeing as well.
These surveillance systems are flying around all around, basically in like a perfect single
file line from Iran all the way to Israel to protect, of course, the Holy Land, the
The most important country on the planet, not your state, not Wyoming.
The only state in the United States of America that matters, the state of Israel.
So you know, just remember that.
Every single Gulf country is being hammered currently that have American bases are being
hammered fucking currently.
presently. They are destroying billions of dollars of of American equipment inside of American bases.
I've seen videos in Bahrain of even Shahad drones blowing up the American base. Shahad
drones can be shot down with an AK-47. That's how little America gives the shit about its goddamn
assets in the region. If you wanted to if you if you're wondering what the situation looks like.
Shahad drones are so fucking slow, you can shoot them down with an AK-47 and they're currently striking.
They're currently striking American bases in Bahrain. The naval base in Bahrain is being struck.
Okay?
Iranian drone is the vicinity of Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
The IRGC has officially announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
The economy about to buckle.
Inshallah the economy will buckle.
These people that lead these countries are fucking animals.
animals. Do you understand? They're animals. They do not care about you. We are going to
suffer as a consequence of their actions, but they only fucking respond. They only respond
to force. They only respond to military deterrence. They only respond to pressure. And it's literally
we have to be the pressure. We have to be the pressure. We have to take it to the
streets. We have to fucking protest. We have to put an end to this kind of action.
We have to demand an end, sever ties with Israel.
We have to demand an end to American imperialism.
It's done, okay?
It's done.
There's no other, there is no other way out of this.
Note the book on Prime Minister Benjamin Ineah, who's death during this call today with
the President Trump is historian Tim Bouvier's book, Allies at War, about how the allies
defeated Hitler in World War II. Prime Minister Benjamin Ineo during his conversation with
US President Reel Donald Trump. I bet his bitch ass is fucking having that conversation in
some Greek military facility too. Drone strike in Dubai, yeah, Israel is fucking, I mean
not Israel sorry, Iran is pummeling Dubai.
If you noticed, out of all the Gulf countries, like Dubai is getting hit the hardest.
This to me shows that they're, this to me shows that there, there's a, there's a reason, right?
Like they, they are very deliberate about who they are attacking and why they're attacking
the countries that are, that they are attacking.
Dubai is obviously, the UAE is obviously Muslim Israel.
For those of you who don't fucking know.
I know many of you think, oh no, that's like a pedophile cryptocurrency save haven.
That's basically Miami.
The UAE's foreign policy and like regional leadership is basically to be the Muslim version
of Israel.
Okay.
Um, they're right there whenever Israel's doing stuff Dubai and the UAE is right there.
Okay.
And for the record, Iran did warn every other country in the region and Iran did
say, if you do this, it will be a regional
war if you do this if you back us into a corner we will fight back and and of
course you know that is the case
again that's a shot had drone like that's crazy
Bro, you really actually don't need like, like, I was thinking about this with like
the Afghanistan, the Taliban, Pakistan fight that was taking place.
And I was really thinking about this.
You really don't need suicide bombing anymore, you know, because like the Taliban guy was
like, oh, you have nuclear arms, but we have like suicide bombers, like we'll just
blow up your your country with suicide bombers and it's like
You really don't need that anymore in drone warfare, right? You don't need that at all. Just make fucking drones
Just you can purchase them from you know, you can purchase them in the online marketplace like
China literally sells
Like explosive ordinance delivery mechanisms that you can put to a dji drone that you can purchase like
at at virtually no
you know, you're doing suicide
bombing just for the love of
the game because like.
You want to keep it old school.
Is that what it is?
Why is bro saying that I'm just
saying it's like insane that I
mean, this is, you know,
it's like, you know,
it's like, you know,
it's like, you know,
it's like, you know,
it's like, you know, it's like,
you know, it's like, you know,
that I mean this is basically this is functionally what you could get away with if you if you
facilitated like it and somewhat
difficult to pull off
Suicide bombing strike right and instead you're just using a shot head drone. That's like what ten thousand dollars
It's crazy. It's crazy how terrifying this process is
I don't know what to do with it.
I don't know what to do with it.
Ugh.
Ugh.
Anyway.
Suicide bombers cheaper than drones. Yeah, but it's it's there's no guarantee
A suicide bombing campaign is an incredibly difficult thing to pull off duty
First of all, you need people that are die-hard zealots quite literally
The IEDs the IEDs are like not very expensive. They're not very sophisticated
but but at the end of the day like pulling off
Pulling off a successful suicide bombing operation is really fucking difficult.
You need to have a human asset on the ground.
Drones on the other hand, yeah, sure, it's like 10 grand, like a shahead drone specifically
is like $10,000 or whatever, but, you know, you can, you don't have like, it's not,
It has a much higher success rate and more ordinances,
more explosive ordinances on the drone itself.
That's crazy.
They're just doing like they're they're doing piecemeal shot had strikes on residential
buildings did
this is the al-Udeid radar system before and after the strike yeah what was and what became
This is like $1.5 billion, I think. Satellite images show the destruction of an American
radar at the Al-Udeid air base in Qatar as a result of targeted operations by Iran. First,
they crippled the American early warning systems like this. And America let it happen, by the way.
Just so you understand, if you are living in one of these, if you're living in one of these
Gulf countries, that's in Bahrain. This is fake. Look at the buildings in the bottom.
No, they did strike at the al-Udeid base though. I don't know if this is like
What do you call it? I don't know if this image is fake or not, but
The the they did actually strike the they did the Iranians did strike the al-Udeid airbase radar
They did actually do that the photo the photo itself might be fake. I'm saying
The photo itself that you guys sent me might be fake, but they did strike the radar base in Cotter
Like there is literally a fucking video of it, you know, I don't know what the fuck you're talking
about. This is the one in Bahrain. The first round of strikes came towards the Gulf States
and immediately, immediately they went in and struck all of the American bases that have
early warning systems, radars in all of the Gulf States.
And then after they were done, after they were done with that, they started, they have
not stopped pummeling Israel as well. All this is a distraction from the Epstein files, no
joke? No, brother. No, no, no, no. This is not a distraction from the Epstein files.
This is a 50 year project for Israel. That's, this is so much more consequential than the
fucking Epstein files. Like this is not even a, that's crazy. This is a 50 year project
by Israel. This, this is a project that also corresponds to American interests in the region
in general. They've always wanted no sovereignty for Iran. They always wanted the Iranian
oil as well. They wanted to have America has always wanted to have complete monopoly
over the cartel, OPEC plus, obviously you have state actors that are not always going
to be compliant, but as long as you have some servile Gulf nation states like Saudi Arabia
like UAE, and then you also destroy Iran or remove Iranian sovereignty or completely
take over the Iranian oil refinery process, then you have a significant upper hand in
this cartel.
You can control the petrodollar to the best of your ability.
You can use it as a significant point to leverage against your foreign adversaries like
China.
This is, um, this is 50 years in the making.
This isn't a new thing at all.
And it's finally happening because Israel has lost all of its Western support.
So this is perhaps the last time that they can do it, okay?
This is the last time that Israel will be able to do this.
From their perspective, Trump is crazy enough to follow through on it.
This is a final act of desperation in my opinion.
This is the grand design in the region coming to a close.
So however much America, like if Iran is capable of putting up a strong front and a strong resistance
against this, make it as difficult and as costly as possible for America to engage in this war
of attrition while destabilizing the entire global economy, which they have the capability
to do, America will most likely collapse. I just don't see any clean way out of this.
As we've talked about, as I talked about with Ben Rhodes earlier this week, ironically,
now Ben Rhodes, National Security Advisor to Barack Obama, who played a significant
role in the JCPOA, the Iran denuclearization deal.
One of the conversations that we had was obviously around American-Israel's interest in Iran.
We talked about how it was never about denuclearization, and Obama basically proved that because Obama
was able to get a successful multilateral deal through with Iran.
Iran was willing to negotiate with the United States of America in exchange for sanctions
leave. And then Donald Trump came in and ripped that apart in his first term, if you guys remember.
And it basically showed anyone with more than three working brain cells, and I hope you guys
have more than three working brain cells that there was no real negotiation aspect.
And it was more so just a way to create a reason to destabilize Iran inevitably.
And the reasons for why America and Israel want to destabilize Iran is not because the
Iranian people deserve sovereignty and dignity.
Although that is true, that's not the reason why America and Israel want to destabilize
Iran.
So if you're fucking moron who actually believes that, get the fuck out of my chat,
okay?
You are the biggest dupe, the biggest sucker.
I bet you also think that going to war with Iraq and extracting oil for American
oil refineries was probably good for you somehow personally.
You are the biggest loser.
You're the biggest dumbass of all time.
America does not give a fuck about democracy.
America doesn't even give a fuck about democracy in America.
America doesn't even care about American citizens.
America certainly doesn't even care about American military members.
We literally parked 50% of our naval assets in and around Israel and in and around
Iran.
If you think that we care about what happens to them, you are fucking delusional, okay?
Yeah, you're the guy who goes to the strip club and says, no, you don't understand.
You see a song.
The stripper does love me, actually.
She told me she loves me.
I believe her.
You are all at best human shields, okay?
You're worth, you're worth to the American government, to the Israeli government is either
a human shield, collateral damage, maybe productive forces if you are productive to a certain
degree, you know? What does this save this modded give? Do we have a blast off me? By
By the way, I didn't even blast off yet. It's 48 minutes in and I just started fucking going
in. I was not expecting a round of fire into like five countries right away. I was, I was,
can you explicitly lay out how this benefits us in Israel? I mean, it depends. Are you
talking about the working class? Are you talking about the capital owning class?
are you talking about those who are in positions of power?
Because like, if you're talking about the Epstein class,
this benefits them tremendously
because you're always moving units, right?
Any American base that gets blown up
as a consequence of Iran retaliating means, you know,
more economic activity.
It means more jobs.
It means more subsidies from the government.
It means more taxpayer-funded initiatives
to rebuild those bases.
So, that's extremely beneficial for some key sectors in the United States of America.
So that yields economic activity.
Every bomb that is used yields economic activity because every bomb that is used must be replenished.
That's why, you know, in this day and age war is not meant to be won.
War is meant to simply continue.
And it has been continuing.
And there is a fairly sophisticated media apparatus that has made you think that
war is not happening all the time when it as a matter of fact very clearly is happening
all the fucking time, right?
Whether it be Iran, whether it be Iran today, or Afghanistan and Iraq yesterday, Libya,
Syria, there is constant destabilization taking place.
That's happening all the time, yeah.
Also this is, this is what war looks like for Americans in Bahrain.
Ryan is both basically the cushiest job in the Gulf to look
Like look at this motherfucker's house, bro
Why is he not scooping up poop inside of the USS Gerald Ford? Why is he fucking sitting?
Jamal bui is retweeting that you're anti-Semitic and insane on blue sky.
Jamal bui is calling you anti-Semitic and insane on blue sky.
Oh, fucking discourse machine, dude.
Yes.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
A New York Times reporter has called me anti-Semitic.
anti-Semitic, a New York Times reporter is calling me anti-Semitic, a New York Times
reporter who was a fucking adult, almost 40 fucking years old and had no statements on
Israel and Palestine for two fucking years of the genocide at the New York Times.
Oh, no.
Someone alert the presses.
Someone has to, someone has to deal with the real issues.
This too is anti-Semitic and also completely insane.
Oh, because I said, if there's any terrorism that happens on US soil now, you will never
be able to convince me nor millions of other Americans that it wasn't Israel and America
conducting it together to rally the masses, support an insanely unpopular war.
Yeah.
Oh no.
Oh no.
Guys.
Guys.
Guys.
Guys, I need you to understand, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys.
I know that the billionaire pedophilic elite will send your sons and daughters to go die
in a region that has never done anything to you whatsoever, so they can yield better
returns on their initial investments year over year, okay?
And we will do it definitely for the nation state of Israel as well, okay?
Because they also have like a separate ambition of being able to develop greater Israel as
this like biblical fucking project, right?
They want to do that and they can't do that as long as Iran has ballistic missiles.
So we have to kill them.
We have to kill them.
But guess what, guys?
Guess what?
That could come across as anti-Semitic if you fucking literally call it out.
You're not supposed to say that.
And because it's deeply unpopular, because it's a deeply unpopular endeavor, because Israel
is deeply unpopular, because Donald Trump is deeply unpopular in an effort to do some
sort of fucking crazy Psyop on US soil, if they were to do like an anthrax attack,
for example, you know?
been done before, never been done before in the United States of America, never, never
been conducted to make everyone in fucking Iowa think that like Al Qaeda is gonna come
after them.
Not even talking about 9-11 at this point, I'm talking about what came after, right?
All the anthrax, all the anthrax in the male saga that universalized the fear that
It wasn't just New York, the capital of finance that was struck, but you know, my bum-fuck
shitty town next to Gary Indiana could also be under attack by Islamic-style terrorism.
So I'm obviously a lot more fearful and a lot more open-minded to going and waging
war in the fucking Middle East.
You know?
Could never happen.
never happened and could never happen, you know, certainly.
Someone's got to get on board.
It's so, it's so insane.
Is this Jamel Bowie?
Apparently, Jamel Bowie reposted this.
How is this man so popular?
Because everyone went crazy and expertise has been completely eroded.
Says Joe Steve.
Where does this guy work?
Assistant professor at US History at UNC Chapel Hill.
Political liberal, hoop reactionary.
Yeah, this guy is just as big as a piece of shit as his uncle, if not worse in terms
of real-world influence.
How is this anti-Semitic?
Yes, there is not a tin hat take to be had on Trump making use of any now more likely
attack on US soil to consolidate power. Yeah. Like even liberals won't believe this for
the record. Oh, he wrote this article, a liberals case for conservatives in history
departments. Oh, oh, oh, he writes for a kill. Oh, he writes for the fucking eugenicist
magazine, Kelet, that makes a lot more sense.
Oh, guys, guys, guys, guys. I mean, listen, listen,
guys, you can't say that, uh, like Israel is in the driving seat of American foreign policy in
in the menoregion, you can't say that, because that might be scary. That might be, it's not
the reality that is scary, it's that that might hurt my feelings personally, okay?
What about my feelings? Have you considered my feelings? How I feel? You're making it
quite difficult for me to defend these sorts of actions. So I have to fucking turn around
and tell you you're being quite anti-Semitic my good sir you're being anti-Semitic sir
earm look what the fuck are you talking about get the fuck out of here dumbass
Liberal liberal liberal liberal liberal liberal liberal liberal liberal liberal liberal liberal liberal you're
he reposts the fucking chilep right uh uh reporter
shame on you Jamal
same on you
Seriously, fucking shame on you, Jamal Bowie.
That is fucking bullshit, and you fucking know it.
Shame on you.
Yeah.
Wait till liberals do this exact same thing, but this time for Trump consolidating power.
Cuz they only deal in terms of like, the Democratic Party's success in elections versus
the Republican Party, right?
Like they do not deal in the material, and they will literally lean into this stuff
when it inevitably happens, okay? They will say, oh, Trump is doing this because he's
distracting people from the Epstein files. Trump is doing this because Trump is doing
this because he wants to consolidate power and implement martial law.
All of these things also correspond to one another. They're not even separate from
one another. These are not mutually exclusive incidents. Yeah, why hasn't Jamal Buu written
a single fucking thing about Gaza. I remember a couple years in, I remember a couple years
in when at this point it was like a year and a half in and people were like, hey Jamal,
boy, we love your takes. Okay, we love your takes Jamal. Do you have nothing to say about,
you know, what Israel is doing? And he was like, Oh, I haven't read into it. I haven't,
I haven't read into like I don't really know too much about what israel is doing
No jamael buoy was never a friend of the show
Did you blast off bro? No, I didn't
Yeah, 85 children have been killed by the Amerisraeli bombing campaign in Iran, but guys,
Guys, guys, I need you to understand my feelings might be hurt in this process because I'm trying
to defend that and you're making it hard for me. You're making it hard for me. What about my feelings?
Just a heads up. I couldn't find your stream on mobile and had to search for you on PC.
What did I get fucking blacklisted already? No, I doubt it.
I was told it was supposed to be Iranian. Oh, Iranian citizens cheering on being bombed.
Yeah, no, the Bahrainis are ecstatic. Every video I've seen of like,
unks in Bahrain filming the American base being struck is them going,
Woodrope, Woodrope, Woodrope, Woodrope!
Anyway...
This is the funniest one. This is the this is the one I was thinking of yet
That's a radar dumb no they just straight up took out a fucking
Radar system with literally a shot head drone
That does not happen unless America totally wrote that off. Okay
like that literally only happened because America's like yeah we don't give a
fuck yeah blow it up we'll make a new one do you understand that's a shy head
drone look how fucking slow it flies you can literally shoot that out of the
sky with an AK-47
Okay? That happened because America wanted that to happen. I need you to understand this.
That happened because America wanted that to happen. America wanted you to see that this
was going on. That's a $10,000 drone that just destroyed a billion dollars of satellite
like radar equipment, like radar equipment. It's a satcom radome. Yeah, that's your healthcare
blowing up by the way. That's your healthcare blowing up. You just watched, you just watched
your fucking healthcare blowing up. Why would Americans have an AK47 as a coming weapon?
I'm just saying that's your taxes being lit on fire. Every time you see one of these
fucking things blow up, I need you to, I need you to think about it like that. Okay.
Every time you see that, the $1.5 billion radar was destroyed, but this one of the video
cost $18 million. Sorry. This is a $18 million radar. Okay, great.
Just look at everything that this guy's tweeting. What is this current state of the shred of
hormones which has been closed by the IRGC? Yeah, the US, the US has its own energy.
It hurts China more to have it disrupted. Are you not in agreement?
Yeah, if you're a postdoc, you can't get grants.
If you're a researcher, you can't get funding, right?
If you were a public sector employee, you got fired.
If you needed SNAP benefits, and you were one of the hundreds of thousands that no
longer can get that snap benefit. You now have to eat less food. But we can go and do
this shit. We can go and move 50% of our naval assets. Tens of billions of dollars can be
spent moving entire islands basically to this region and go to war and blow up fucking
school children overseas. It is ridiculous. And quite frankly, I hate to say this over
and over again, but we are fucking cattle. Okay, we're cattle. We have nothing to say
for this. We have nothing that we can do about this. We have nothing that we can,
we can do to organize. That's it. Like we just watch it from afar, like it's a fucking
movie and not really much we can do and this fucking dipshit gets to direct all of those
resources.

Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, the UAE, and Qatar depend on this single route to supply global
Markets
Huh
Price of oil will go up. Yeah, this was insane by the way, this is just pure uh, uh, jewish supremacy for the record
CNN put out an article 33 minutes ago saying that this attack is for Amalek.
This is Tal Shalev, senior reporter at CNN-based in Jerusalem, who literally said, this was
last night, that this attack was for Amalek and to fulfill the mitzvah of remembering
Amalek.
Timing of U.S.-Israel attack on Iran bears symbolic meaning in Judaism.
The timing of the U.S. and Israeli attack on Iran bears symbolic meaning in Judaism
ahead of the upcoming Jewish holiday of Purim, worshippers read the specific portion from
the Old Testament known as Zachor. The passage from the Book of Deuteronomy commands the
ancient Israelites to remember an unprovoked attack by the nation of Amalek and eradicate
the memory of Amalek once the Israelites are settled in their land. The passages
read publicly before Purim to fulfill the mitzvah of remembering Amalek as Israel's
typical enemy.
This is literally what Nick Fuentes also says. Benjamin Netanyahu and Nick Fuentes and this
lady on CNN are entirely in fucking agreement. Okay? Like this is Jewish supremacist thought.
Okay? Who gives a fuck what some religious text says?
What are you fucking insane?
You think I'm supposed to care about this?
Are you out of your fucking mind?
I care about school children being blown up.
I don't want that to happen.
There is no justification.
This is a pre-Elasen takeover at CNN, by the way.
So I don't know what the fuck the Ellisons
are gonna do to CNN to make it more pro-Israel?
Like, is this going to be the only thing?
Is this going to be the only thing that fucking comes out of CNN?
Yeah.
Also Jeremy Diamond, CNN's Jerusalem correspondent.
Also last night was calling it a preemptive strike.
Israel has launched preemptive strikes against Iran and a state of emergency.
There's no such thing.
Okay.
A preemptive strike in almost every single circumstance is just a made up reasoning
for striking first.
Okay.
It can only be considered a preemptive strike if there is like actual information, actual data that there is supposed to be a strike incoming and you want to cut it ahead of time.
This is ridiculous. Israel always says they're preemptively striking their enemies. Israel always is preemptively striking their enemies.
And the American media always fucking lies at the behest of Israel.
They always lie at the bed of Israel.
Oh, it's a preemptive strike, really.
It was 9-11, a preemptive strike on American empire.
Like, what are we talking about?
Al-Qaeda.
Al-Qaeda issued a preemptive strike in the nation's finance capital to the World Trade
Center and attempted to engage in a preemptive strike on the Pentagon.
Like, is that?
No, it's ridiculous, right?
It's fucking ridiculous.
No, that was not a preemptive strike.
Yeah, Israel is preemptively striking school children.
You know, preemptively striking them to ensure that they never graduate from middle school.
bro they will clip this the fuck do you mean I keep forgetting that I haven't
even blasted off yet anyway does anyone have a blast off meme I guess I don't
even know at this point Jesus Christ 9 a.m.
Yeah, okay, I'll do the remember who you're fighting for one
Incredible incredible stuff by the way, I'm live on twitch and YouTube, okay
I'm live on both Twitch and YouTube here. We're blasting off. I know I can show YouTube
chat on Twitch, they updated the rules. I know, shut up. I know. Here it is. Here's
the blast. I mean, yeah, our Kamala, Kamala Harrison, by his loser ass up there, all the
dumb folks who've seen things that would be different of Kamala one. I mean, what is this
on YouTube thumbnail? Oh yeah, this is my, this is my YouTube thumbnail. Yes.
Anyway, let's continue with this shit here.
So those ballistic missiles, but all of this kicked off this morning, around 8.15 a.m. local time.
Israelis were woken to the sound of sirens, not announcing incoming missiles,
but rather alerting Israelis to this new state of emergency that is in place as Israel announced that it had struck targets in Iran.
And we then quickly learned that it was not just Israel, but that these are joint strikes
carried out by the United States and the Israeli militaries targeting a range of targets inside
of Iran.
I'm told that there were dozens of targets that were struck by both militaries.
We have been watching, of course, for weeks now as the United States has been carrying
out this enormous military buildup in the region, but simultaneously a diplomatic
track was taking place.
But this morning, that diplomatic track was completely cast aside in favor of this military
action by the United States and Israel.
We heard from President Trump making clear that this is not just about going after Iran's
ballistic missile and nuclear programs, but setting the conditions for regime change.
And we have heard similar comments as well from the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
We know now that Israel is at a very heightened state of awareness.
Israelis are either in their bomb shelters or very close by awaiting the ramifications
of this as we are already watching Iran launch missiles not only here but at other sites across
the Middle East.
Victor.
Jeremy Diamond for us there in Tel Aviv.
We will get back to you in just a few moments.
President Trump is monitoring the strikes from his Mar-a-Lago resort and he calls on Iranians
to stand up to their government and warns the fight could put American lives in danger.
He also says the U.S. has done everything it can to keep American troops safe in the
region.
I really appreciate it.
Come on, bro.
Come on.
Yeah.
We are doing everything we can to keep American troops safe in the region by what?
Fucking blowing up Iran, a country that has a ballistic missiles program specifically
for this very moment.
We're keeping them safe by like bringing them, we're keeping them safe by basically
putting them on these, on these like floating islands that, that Iran can strike, you know?
That's it. They're, they're basically missile sponges, dude. That's it. Just understand that
your, your homies, your neighbors, your loved ones, your cousins, wherever the fuck's out
there right now is functionally a missile sponge. They're, they're drone sponges.
missile sponge. They're just sitting there parked outside, hoping that the anti-missile
systems actually stop the Iranian pummeling.
It's just so crazy because everyone could have seen this from a million miles away.
I mean I talked about it for a fucking week like it was so obvious that the entire
Negotiations process was a sham
The entire negotiations process was an utter sham
Everybody knew everybody understood that this was going to happen. It was an inevitability. It was going to happen
Because Israel wanted it to happen in Israel is one of this happen for 50 fucking years at this point
Okay, I'm not 50 years, but like definitely 30 years, right? This is
This is like 30 years of American policy, American foreign policy and Israeli foreign
policy. It's finally happening at Israel's weakest moment as far as unlimited support
from the West.
Do you see what that pig kid Starver said?
Earlier this morning, they've been saying Iran is, is, you know, two seconds away from
the nuclear bomb since like 1989.
Okay.
Benjamin Nen Yahu is the guy who's been saying it.
That's so crazy.
Like even the actors are the same here.
Let's look at this slave.
The United States and Israel struck targets in Iran.
has since launched in discriminant strikes across the region. I know the British people
and communiques across our country will be deeply concerned about what this means for
security and stability and for the fate of innocent people across the region, which
which for so many of us includes friends and family members.
So whilst the situation is evolving very quickly, I want to set out our response.
The United Kingdom played no role in these strikes, but we have long been clear.
The regime in Iran is utterly abhorrent.
They have murdered thousands of their own people, brutally crushed descent and sought to destabilize
the region, even in the United Kingdom.
Like by the time he released this statement, by the time he released this statement, we
knew that America and Israel had blown up a school, okay, like a little girl's school.
when he says, Oh, we must allow America and Israel to strike Iran and blow up schools because Iran is crushing descent.
Does that argument make sense to you?
Does that argument make sense to you at all?
By the way, I mean, it's just again, slave, okay, slave, cattle, cattle, slave, that's it.
That's it. War criminal, cattle, slave, all of it. Also deeply unlikable and pathetic monster,
but I just, look, I don't know where we go from here, okay? I think it's virtually impossible
for people not to look at the situation and wake the fuck up to the reality that this
is completely untenable, completely unacceptable.
I just don't, I don't know.
I try to, because I'm, I'm, maybe I'm too, I'm a little too invested in this stuff.
Maybe I'm a little too knowledgeable on this stuff as well.
And I know what the real reasons are as to why we're doing it.
And the average person doesn't, and the average person's perspective when I have a conversation
with them is like, does this mean Iran has a nuke?
Is Iran going to nuke us?
Is Iran going to bomb us?
Like it's important for you to go out and talk to your friends, talk to your
Your neighbors talk to your family, talk to your loved ones, and explain to them carefully
exactly why this is happening, okay, exactly why this is happening.
It has nothing to do with like security concerns.
It has nothing to do with the Iranian population and its liberation.
And the American government isn't even doing a decent enough job at presenting it as such,
like lying.
They're not even lying.
has the dignity to lie to our fucking faces, right?
They're not even doing that. They're just straight up saying, ah, we're going to war.
Maybe we're going to liberate the Iranian people who gives a shit whatever, you know,
who cares? Shut the fuck up.
It's for oil. It's for the military industrial complex. It's so that America and in America,
broadly. He can control this entire region and have no sovereignty whatsoever in this region
because sovereignty in this region actually stops Israel from developing the Greater Israeli Project
taking over territory in Lebanon, taking over sovereign soil in Syria, taking over maybe even
pieces of Egypt and Saudi Arabia, right? That is the ambition for Israel separately.
And the ambition for America is to let Israel do whatever the fuck it wants in the region.
Because they think this still court of this still aligns with their interests and whoever dies in the process dies
It doesn't matter Americans who die in the process. Sorry you died for the almighty dollar
You died for the petro dollar you died for dollar hegemony. There's nothing you can do about it
Maybe we'll offer you a little medal at the end of that journey, you know
so your family can fucking cry and
And look at the metal and think oh you died for for you died a dignified death
Okay
When you go out there
Many people in this community and and elsewhere in the United States of America have joined the armed forces because
They just simply want upward social mobility. They don't get it any other way
They have to sell their soul to the fucking Pentagon. They have to sell their soul to the United States Department of Defense
Because they think oh, I'll just go there. I'll do one tour. It'll be fine. I'll come out of that
I'll get a fucking comms degree from my my local university my state university and then I'll enter the same fucking dog shit job
Market that everyone else is suffering in with the hopes that I can have a job
With the hopes that I can maybe have a roof over my head and some upward social mobility
The best case scenario in this situation is you go out there, you get like maybe a little
bit of PTSD, you come back and you actually have a job until AI takes it away from you.
Now you have to live with a lifetime of crippling mental illness, crippling PTSD.
But just know, when you're going out there and you're putting your body on the line,
you're doing it for the pedophilic cabal of elite billionaires that control every facet
of society so they can make super profits over and over again so they can extract the materials.
They can extract the rare earth minerals.
can extract the natural resources, oil, right, if you want to simplify it, and they can make
the money. Yeah. In worst case scenario, they'll tell you your injuries are not service related.
There's that too.
And some believe the Liberty and Justice narratives.
Some do.
I'm sure if you're a veteran, you've met them, you've encountered them.
Maybe you believe them at some point.
Maybe you were like, no, we're fighting for free speech, brother.
How many doors do you have to knock down in Kabul before you realize like maybe there wasn't really a free speech component here, you know what I mean?
Sitting inside of a fucking forward operating base in Karengal Valley as you hear potshots from afar, IEDs exploding.
Friends of yours getting their dicks blown off because the American military didn't put sufficient armor underneath the fucking humvees
They didn't think that roadside bombs would actually be a significant threat
You see your buddies get their legs blown off inside of a Humvee
Someone made money there
Not you
Someone else made money
Right a contractor made money
Now your dicks blown off. Now your legs blown off. You come back. You're like, what am I supposed to do?
My life is fucked.
Why did you do it?
Did you do it to defend freedom?
Is that what it was?
Who was freedom? Were you defending?
I'm from PR. I served in the Middle East when Israel started war.
Gaza, I've lost buddies, lost to the suicide too. I'm fucked up in the hand. This shit's making it worse.
I said because I was broken on Puerto Rico situation knowing I fucked up my body and mental for Israel is driving me insane
Okay, there is a fucking productive thing that you can do for the record
Which is organized get other like-minded individuals that have been in the same fucking conditions and ensure that no one else gets duped
And suckered into the same predicament ever again. Okay, that's what you're supposed to do
Your lived experience should help you
to help others. Okay? You can't give up. And I promise you, when you actually engage others
with similar issues like that and you try to correct it, you try to offer atonement
for the shit that you did that's like fucking up your brain now, you're gonna feel better
as well. It is gonna be more productive for you.
slowly, but surely you work for the best of your ability to, to make things right, to ensure
that there aren't new younger generations that fall into the same fucking trap.
You're an outlier, but let's not largely, this community actually cares about the stories
of veterans and our experiences bro, lost 60% of the shot once and wanted us there from
the top. Okay. Calm down. I also, I also go back and forth on this because it's
just like, I don't want to hear the fucking sob story every goddamn day either. Okay.
And that's not true half of the community are already like either fucking veterans themselves
It's like yes half of the community is like oh, yeah every veteran every imperialist soldier
Deserves death and then the other half is like I was an imperial soldier and I kind of agree with what the people are saying
But I also do feel kind of fucked up about what I had to do so calm down. Okay, I
Don't care about what you've done. I care about what you're doing now. Do you understand?
I don't care about what you've done. I care about who you are as a person now
You're lived experience and the things that you've done should motivate you to do better
And as long as you're doing that as long as you're trying to stop others
From from falling into the same trap that you fell into as long as you use that lived experience
To ensure the others don't as long as you use the training in the future potentially. It's fine
you know why North Korea is trend is trending yeah because they have fucking nukes and therefore
they don't have to deal with this shit okay that's probably why they're trending like
motherfuckers will say do nothing when but the reality is you have to do something
And that's something is develop nukes
That's it nuclear sovereignty is the only way that you can exist as a nation in the periphery without
American and sometimes Israeli intervention
Big posting in peerless. I think Americans are gonna manufacture consent for the Iranian
intervention. I don't think they're, I think that they're wrong. If they think they'll
be able to get away with manufacturing consent for this, I suspect they're wrong. One, I
I think the propaganda apparatus has been crippled.
I think the propaganda apparatus doesn't have the same motion
it once did.
OK?
I also don't think that the American government
has even invested in doing any sort of propaganda
to justify or to manufacture consent.
You don't even need it.
You don't even fucking need it.
What did Zoran say?
Oh, God.
today's military trucks under rocker dot with the united states in israel market
catastrophic escalation illegal war regression bombing cities killing
civilians opening a new theater war americans do not want this they do not
want another war pursuit of regime change
they want relief
from the affordability crisis they want peace on folks i make sure
every new yorkers save i've been caught up with the police commissioner
mercy management officials we are taking proactive steps including increasing
coordination cross-agency's enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of
an abundance of caution
additionally i want to speak to iranian new yorkers you are part of the
fabric of the city you are a neighbor small business owners students
artists, workers and community leaders, you will be saved here.
Okay, that's actually pretty good.
Like, thank God, I thought, I thought he was going to thank God, thank fucking God.
Okay, Jesus Christ.
Imagine, imagine he was like, Hey, this is now is not the time.
Guys, I want to keep Israel in my heart.
As Israel in America is blowing up little school children in Iran, I
I just want to say, please don't say anything that it might offend the sensibilities of those
who are actually championing this death and destruction campaign at the best of Israel
and the Epstein-Pedophilic Abault.
That would be very unkind of you.
And perhaps the only thing, the only thing that we should care about, okay?
AOC statements, the American people are once again dragging the war they did not want
by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions.
This war is unlawful.
It is unnecessary.
of Stravik just this week around the United States were negotiating key measures that
could have staved off war. The president walked away from these discussions and chose war
instead. President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating
that often happens in war. Mr. President, this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate
choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American
people. Oh yeah, I'm going to talk about Israel doing Israel shit again. They struck
an opposition figure that was under house arrest. Luckily, he's still alive, but that's crazy.
Anyway, violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson
in Afghanistan. We're about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs will be at the crit, enduring
democracies in the region. And this will be no different. In moments of war, our constitution
is unambiguous. Congress authorized war. The president does not. I will do my part
to uphold our constitution by voting yes on the representatives of Rokhan and Thomas
messy war powers resolution every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless
war I will say like all of you I woke up this morning to the terrible news that Donald Trump
had taken yeah I was talking about the last night again to my go Iran ask yourself who
this benefits doesn't benefit you or I doesn't make our grossing prices any cheaper it doesn't
address the fact that our health care is more expensive it doesn't make home ownership
more attainable. All it does is change the subject, distract us from the broken presidency
of Donald Trump. This is a man who ran on America first, ran promising that the era
of regime change wars was over. And now he's just taken us into another foreign entanglement,
the third one this year alone. This is Trump admitting that he cannot solve your problems.
He will not even try. Instead, when those problems get bad enough, he's going to
How do I get my boyfriend to snap out of the Western war can be good mindset?
I know he's smart enough to understand this, but he just won't um, is he is he cattle?
Does he sometimes go
Like when you bring him treats
Do you sometimes smack him in the ass and he just gets really excited and runs away runs off into the this is galloping around
as you go
Mmm.
Because you might not have a boyfriend.
You just have livestock at that point.
I'm just saying.
Okay.
How do I get my boyfriend to snap out of the western war can be good.
My said, okay, are you dating a Lockheed Martin executive?
Are you dating Mr.
John Bowie?
Ask him these questions.
Ask your boyfriend.
Are you are you Mike Huckabee?
Because if you're not any of those things, it's not beneficial for you, right?
It's not beneficial for you at all, especially if you grew up in a rural area.
He might literally be a cattle.
He might literally be livestock.
But if you grew up in a rural area, ask him, hey, don't you think it's fucked up that
you don't have a rural hospital?
Like the last time you guys had like a healthcare professional in this region was 35 years
ago, and businesses have completely pulled out of this area. Everyone is poor as fuck,
but it seems like there's always money in the bank to go to war overseas. Does that do
anything for you? Does that do anything positive for you? Does that make you feel good? Why
does that make you feel good if it does? You know? These are the questions you can
ask your loved ones. These are the questions you can ask your loved ones. Ask them. How
does this work for your best interest? Because there's obviously a non-selfish argument to
make, one that revolves around solidarity across the board, one that recognizes the
dignity and humanity of those who are being slain by the Amerisraeli Empire.
But if people can't comprehend that, there's not really any good arguments to constantly
engage in this endless warfare anyway.
There's not really a lot of great arguments at all as a matter of fact.
I mean fucking even even the veterans that go out there recognize it
You could instruct you by weaponizing ice on your streets killing American citizens
Telling us that he's doing something about immigration while he's really just weaponizing and normalizing paramilitary force
I'm gonna have Jeremy scale on to talk right now
He's going to take us to war war with the nation of 93 million people that's got serious
ammunition and artillery behind it. We don't know where this ends. But what this
is, this is normalizing a chaos because he can't actually deal with the problems
in your life. This is an illegal war. There is no justification for it. He didn't
even try to justify it. The Congress, he had every opportunity in the state of
the Union. He didn't. He's not trying to justify it to the international
community because, again, that there is no justification. Who benefits from
this. How many American women and men are going to get broken over wars we never should have
fought. How much of our time and our treasure is going to be spent shedding blood rather
than saving lives here at home. This is unacceptable. No war with Iran and we are going to stand
up every single day to oppose this.
All right. Jeremy Scales in the building. Jeremy Scales of Dropsite is in the building,
esteemed guest. Welcome back, Jeremy. Unfortunately, every single time we have you on, it always
feels like the world is collapsing right in front of our eyes, but it's still an honor
to have you on nonetheless. Can you hear me?
Thank you, prep. Yeah. Thank you for having me back.
Of course. So you guys, you just got done with your reporting. I believe you're in
contact with some officials on the Iranian side and drops I just revealed a couple hours
ago or your latest reporting shows, you know, a very different perspective than what we're
seeing in mainstream media. But I know you're paying close attention to what's going on
in the news. Let's get started with, you know, the, I guess now almost 50 year project
of Israel finally coming to a close.
Do you feel like there is any argument that you've heard so far that made you go, hmm,
maybe this is a real reason for why we're going to war with Iran?
No, I think it has to be stated at the beginning, just from an American perspective
that the Democrats, we've seen this coming for weeks and weeks that Trump was going
to move forward on this.
And at Dropsite, we've been reporting
on things that we've heard even from people
within the inner circle.
And one of the things we reported recently
is that Trump has been kind of stomping around,
even in internal briefings, making statements like,
I'm going to go down as the president
that forever changed the Iranian regime
and obsessively talking about the 79 revolution
and the seizure of the embassy.
And this whole thing started on its surface in mid-January
after the protests in Iran that then converted
into very bloody battles and attacks
in the streets of Tehran and other cities around Iran.
And there's competing narratives about what happened there.
But Trump seized on that moment in Iran
and said, help is on the way.
And of course, the utterly discredited son
of the depose Shah also was calling on Iranians to rise up and seize institutions.
And then nothing happened in the immediate aftermath of that.
And then Trump basically almost entirely stopped talking about Iran as brutal toward its own
citizens and they're massacring their own citizens.
He was obsessively claiming that he had stopped all of these public hangings.
But they basically dispensed with that, and then they resumed this talk about nuclear
weapons.
And every US national intelligence estimate going back years had concluded that toward
the end of 2003, Iran had given up its nuclear weapons ambitions.
And then in June, Trump conducted all of these strikes over 12 days on the three main nuclear
sites in Iran.
And then they said that they had completely and totally obliterated Iran's nuclear
program.
created a special web page on the White House website
to preemptively declare as fake news
anyone that would dare to say otherwise.
And then last weekend, we had Steve Wittkopf,
Trump's special envoy.
He and Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law
are the point guys on all of this.
Wittkopf makes like a Dick Cheney style statement
and says, Iran is a week away
from having industrial grade bomb making material.
And they provided no evidence for that whatsoever
But it also sort of was like, well, wait a minute,
you either totally obliterated the program
or it's gotten so advanced that they're a week away from it.
So they start obsessing about this nuclear thing.
They're supposedly in negotiations again.
Just what happened last year in June happened now,
which is that they claim they were gonna have
another round of technical talks in Vienna, Austria
on Monday.
The Omani foreign minister last night
was with Vice President JD Vance
and said that the prospects for a deal are very serious.
And then people wake up this morning to news
the United States and Israel have launched massive bombing at sites and cities across Iran.
The death toll in this strike that hit the girl's school in Iran has now officially surpassed 85.
I'm hearing from sources in Iran that there's been a strike on some kind of a gym facility in another
area of Iran where children have also been killed. The Iranians, unlike last time that
that Israel and the US bomb, didn't wait to sort of absorb it
and then come up with their own calibrated response.
As we've talked about before, the Iranians
have choreographed their retaliatory strikes
through back channels with the US in previous times.
We've been reporting for weeks.
They're not going to do that again.
In fact, we've had sources close to the power
structure in Iran that have said that they understand
that they're aiming to kill at least 500
American personnel in retaliatory strikes.
So delegation to launch strikes was dropped down to a much lower command level in Iran,
and that's why you saw an unprecedented simultaneous retaliatory response from Iran across all of
these Gulf Arab countries.
They also hit Jordan, a colleague of mine in Israel who's in a bomb shelter right now,
just sent me a message saying that the pattern of these strikes is unlike anything
we've seen in previous attacks and that the public instructions are to stay inside of those
shelters much longer, and a much longer duration than ever before during these retaliatory strikes
from Iran.
Iranian naval vessels from the IRGC have been turning ships away at the Strait of Hormuz.
It's unclear if it's officially closed right now, but it appears that could well happen.
But to put a fine point on it, let's remember that the Democrats have seen this coming.
And Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic leaders in the Senate as well refused to bring to
a vote this war powers resolution.
Now I don't have any illusions about the position of the Democrats.
In fact, we reported at Dropsite that Chuck Schumer and others are cynically hoping
that Trump does exactly what he's doing right now for two reasons.
They actually support it. That's the most important thing to understand. It's a bipartisan consensus. They support it
They may not want to say it out loud
But then the other component is that they cynically believe that if it goes foul and wrong remember 70% of Americans don't want this war
That it's going to be on Trump and it's going to help their electoral
Chances that that's that's what you can distill this down into they quietly want
Orange Hitler to wage a war that they also want and then they hope it kind of goes bad when he does it
even though they really wanted to succeed. But they kind of hope it goes bad in the eyes of
the American people. So that it helps them. It's a win-win and it's it captures in a nutshell
the state of the institutional democratic party's posture when it comes to foreign policy.
Yeah, absolutely. I have the Ryan Grimm tweet here. He says, Jeffries,
who held off a war powers resolution long enough for Trump to go start the war before
it came to a vote, does not condemn Trump's attack in his initial response. The party
leadership as we reported last week is eager to see Trump launch this war. I'm sure you've
seen the House Minority Leader's statement on this supposedly unprecedented surprise attack
that America and Israel conducted on Iran that they were signaling that they were going to
do as they launched an armada. 50%, more than 50% of our entire naval assets were moved
into the region over the last month or so. And Donald Trump kept saying just like he did
in the build-up to the 12-day war that there was going to be a negotiations process, but
it was very clear, it was so clear that I actually interviewed Ben Rhodes, former Obama administration
national security advisor, Ben Rhodes, about how these negotiations were simply a sham.
Israel had kept adding on additional qualifiers to the negotiations, many red lines, that
that they were simply designing so that the Iranians would inevitably say no.
What happened yesterday, however, was really interesting.
The Omani official that went on television, I think, knew that this was probably going
to happen.
And that's precisely the reason why they were saying, no, no, no, Iran is actually
totally on board with the negotiations and even leaning into maximalist demands
that the American government was making on denuclearization. Demands that were even more
aggressive than the JCPOA as far as like taking out enriched uranium from the country and
whatnot. And I think they did that. This is speculation, of course, but I think they
did that just to show the American population that the Iranian side was absolutely playing
ball, no matter how ridiculous these negotiations were.
Yeah, you know, I mean, also just to back up a bit, a couple of weeks ago, we started reporting
based on sources that are informal advisors to the Trump administration and are very well
connected with Arab governments, you know, that the U.S. was almost certainly going
move forward with an attack and that they needed to – the concern was not so much the offensive
weaponry that the U.S. needed to get in place. They wanted a delay to bring in refueling aircraft,
to bring in missile systems, THAAD, and others that would be capable of defending Israel
or the American military bases in the region. And I think there's a real question of
of whether there was ever even a scintilla of intent to negotiate in good faith.
It could be that the entire thing, even if Iran had capitulated in a shocking way, that
they still would have gone forward short of the Iranians declaring that they're no longer
going to be in Iran anymore, and that Trump is welcome to take over, or Pahlavi can
come and walk right in and will hand him the keys to the shop.
But you had all of this stuff going on, and the Iranians, we started talking to
senior Iranian officials, and what they said is, we're putting on the table things that
go far beyond the scope of the JCPOA 2015 agreement.
In fact, one official said to me, you know, it would shock John Kerry.
And John Kerry, of course, was the Secretary of State and was the lead negotiator of
the 2015 deal.
And so the enrichment levels, the oversight mechanisms they were willing to talk about,
idea that they would then have non-nuclear negotiations down the line, that they were
going to buy American civilian aircraft, that they were going to open Iran's doors again
to investment opportunities for American oil and gas companies and potentially other American
corporations. They put all of this on the table and I think that from their perspective
they weren't Pollyannish about what they were facing. They know that Trump is kind
of a crooked godfather as head of state, running away.
There's Consigliari, Jared Kushner, and Steve Whitcoff,
the real estate moguls running around
doing all of the bidding for Trump.
But they felt like we're going to show the world
that we are exercising maximum flexibility on this question.
And for some moments, it did seem, and by the way,
I was told that there were actual direct talks
between the US and the Iranians,
not just in this last round, but going back to February 6th in Oman.
And the Iranians were saying that they had a sense that the Americans were even taken
aback by some of what they were willing to put on the table.
So I talked to Rob Malley, who was on that negotiating team in 2015, an American official,
former envoy to Iran under President Biden.
And he said, Trump could just call it a day and declare victory on this.
He's just like knocking it out of the park compared to Obama in terms of what he's able
to get out of the Iranians right now.
If the issue is nuclear, they've got a vitri here.
But the thing is, the issue wasn't nuclear.
The issue hasn't ever been nuclear.
The issue is regime change.
The issue is fighting Israel's wars for it.
And this all comes days after Mike Huckabee.
I know you talked about this on the stream, but days after Mike Huckabee says to
Tucker Carlson that it's a perfectly acceptable goal for Israel to try to move not just
from the sea, you know, to the river, but from the sea to the Tigris and Euphrates. Yeah. Yeah,
no, what we're seeing here is a combination of factors. This is war for Israel. Yeah, go ahead.
Sorry, you're also a little bit delayed on your end. Your internet is cutting in and out a little
bit. So I apologize for cutting you off. What I was going to say is, what I was going to say
like there's competing interests here. There's converging interests and there's diverging interests.
On the American side, and I want to hear your perspective on my assessment,
on the American side, obviously, we have a grand design for this resource-rich region. We want
to dominate it. We want to have complete control over OPEC plus the best of our ability,
or at least we want to have the majority control. We have client, servile Gulf states,
states, and also completely dominated, you know, former states that are now failed states
that are public states to the United States of America, as far as like oil producers.
And we want to be able to control, we want to have a controlling interest in OPEC plus,
so that we can use that as a leverage point against our foreign adversaries, specifically
China, right? And that's America's interest in the region. And Israel has different
converging interest with the united states of america and his real plays a
formative role in this project as a
as a you know unsinkable aircraft carrier as a missile sponge at times if
need be
uh... as a you know
uh... as a place where we can like
uh... develop our weapons is a as a testing ground for for some of the
latest and greatest technology in terms of conducting warfare and surveillance
and population control but then
uh... on top of that i think
israel's specific interest
beyond being a servant to american empire as a settler colonial apparatus
is this
this insane zealotry that they have in in terms of following this uh... this
ultrasound is a gender this idea that they wanna
completed greater israel project destroy all of the indigenous
populations
uh... and either
uh... turn them into
uh... you know turn them into slaves are basically ethnically cleanse
them
and and uh... dominate this entire area from lebanon to syria as they've
started taking on even more territory and annexing even more territory in these places
and maybe even parts of Saudi Arabia and Egypt. And who knows where they go from there, right?
And definitely even start waging war with Turkey as well once Iran is knocked out of the equation
as even Naftali Bennett has clearly signaled, right? That's the convergence, but the divergence,
I think, is when Israel's ambitions get in the way of a more reasonable path forward.
And I think we saw that as a divergence in the Obama administration.
The last time we had any sort of sovereignty in our own design in the Middle East was the
JCPOA.
Now, obviously I have my own personal opinions on, you know, developing nuclear sovereignty
for nations in the periphery.
I believe everyone has to have a nuclear program if they want to, if they want to exist outside
of the American nuclear umbrella as a sovereign state, having said that the JCPOA was something
that the Obama administration put together to actually negotiate a peaceful path forward
with Iran to potentially normalize relations with Iran, to have a lot of controls over
their nuclear program and their enrichment capabilities, um, and Israel hated that.
And then Donald Trump came into office and ripped the JCPOA apart, uh, and Iran still
continued following along with the JCPOA for a little bit, but then Donald Trump added
additional sanctions.
This was Trump won.
And then Joe Biden came into power and Joe Biden was also an ultra Zionist and Joe
Biden also followed with, uh, the, the same exact agenda.
I feel like post Trump won, Israel got into the driver's seat and was no longer simply
a consultant or no longer simply, you know, the tip of the spear in some ways on America's
men of policy, but basically took it over entirely.
Do you agree with this assessment?
I know it's very long.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
I mean, a couple, a couple things, a couple of strings to pull on from what you, you
just said.
There's a sort of massive shift in aspects of Trump one to Trump two.
Remember that Trump openly viewed John Bolton, one of the most obnoxious neocons on the scene.
He openly was talking about what a fanatical lunatic John Bolton was.
One of Bolton's kind of crowning achievements in the first Trump administration when he
he was the national security advisor,
was the assassination of General Qasem Suleimani
at Baghdad Airport in January of 2020,
the head of the elite IRGC force of Iran.
And when you read some of the reporting about it
and even sort of how Trump spoke about it at the time,
it took a while for Trump to come around to that
and then ultimately he did it
and then he felt good about it
and it kind of showed him his awesome power.
And it's like Trump liked those kind of clean things.
Oh, I killed Baghdaddy.
I killed Qasem Suleimani.
But in general, while Trump was a militaristic president,
no doubt about it in his first term,
you got a sense that he was listening or sort of leaning
more toward the direction of kind of the anti-interventionist,
isolationist wing of the MAGA movement.
And he kept the Israel-first or Netanyahu-Mio Khan
wing kind of a little bit at bay.
He comes in this time.
And again, the context is Joe Biden, 50 year dedicated
Zionist who facilitated the Gaza genocide
with total enthusiasm throughout his four years in power.
And then Kamala Harris, who comes out
and when she becomes the nominee and says,
there's nothing I would do differently than him.
And that's a huge part of why they lost, of course,
but they don't wanna release their autopsy.
Sets the stage then for Trump too.
And I think one of the most telling moments,
and it speaks to the questions you're raising,
in this entire period of Trump's second presidency
is when he goes to the Israeli Knesset back in October,
when he's on his way to declare,
he's secured the Gaza ceasefire at Sharma Sheikh, Egypt,
and he arrives in the Knesset,
and it was sort of like a reverse Nuremberg trial
where the war criminals themselves
are celebrating themselves
and standing up and cheering one another.
And he goes on and on
about the kind of influence of Maryam Adelson,
Sheldon Adelson's, the late Sheldon Adelson's wife,
and the single greatest bank roller of Trump's campaign.
And he talks about her being the most influential,
you know, Israeli in the world.
And I think that part of what's happened here
is that led up to this is twofold.
Trump now is completely in the service
of the most extrem Zionist agenda in history.
He's in total servitude to that agenda
for a variety of reasons.
He's not as sophisticated of a Zionist as Joe Biden was
when his brain was intact, but Trump is all in,
and he's willing to do anything for them at this point.
And then the other component of it
is that these guys are all high on their own supply.
You've got drinking buddy Pete Hegseth
as the so-called secretary of war.
You've got little Marco,
who thinks he's dull as risen from the dead
trying to overthrow Cuba and the Venezuela thing, they kidnapped Maduro and Trump starts
to sort of want to inject it into his veins.
And I was told that they really, that Trump and his people were saying, can we do another
Venezuela in Iran?
And he's hearing from intelligence and military people, it doesn't work that way in Iran.
And he doesn't like some of what he's hearing from the military people, and he starts
to understand that Iran didn't go all in in the last times that they struck against
us.
missiles are actually pretty ferocious in some ways, that there are weak links in the iron
dome system in Israel, that it can be overwhelmed, that US bases can be hit, that you may, Mr.
President, face a mass casualty incident involving American personnel.
So then they're talking about what about a Libya option, where we use air power.
But the problem is what ground forces do you have inside of Iran?
And the other thing is Iran, for as much as people talk about the supreme leader,
Iran has been building horizontal institutions since 1979.
This isn't a commentary about any internal political issue.
These are for Iranians to debate.
I'm looking at this from a perspective of military intelligence, strategic, what is possible
and what isn't.
Iran is not Libya.
Iran is also not Venezuela in the sense that you're just going to lop off the supreme
leader and then say, we're making a deal with the rest of you.
So they now are in this war that is not in any way in the interest of the American people
whatsoever.
It's not in the interest of anyone in that region except Israel.
And so what do we have at the end of the day?
The only conclusion we can draw is that Trump is fully purchased and bought into at the
same time Israel's war of annihilations in the region.
I was in touch with a senior Iranian official this morning and asked him about the response
from all of these Arab countries where they're condemning, quote, unquote, Iranian aggression,
but then they're silent about the fact that it's the United States and Israel that launched
this war.
And he made a point, you know, he condemned it.
He said, of course, you know, this is the, you know, this is unfortunately what we've
come to expect, et cetera.
But he said, did they not understand eventually their numbers going to come up like they're,
they're, you know, they may, they may feel like they're in a good position right
now.
their nice little visit with Trump. But their cards are gonna get pulled one day or another
in this whole project. You know, right now they're useful pawns in this game.
Yeah. There's also this national security report from Reuters, which you know, maybe not always
the most trustworthy, but at least on the on the American side. It's it's important
that they're leaking this kind of thing, but Aaron Banco reports as a Reuters exclusive
the CISS before the strikes that even Iran's, even if Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei was killed in the operation, he would likely be replaced by hardline figures from
the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. And I've said this over and over again that the
Ayatollah himself is 87 years old. He is a zealot, you know, but he, and therefore
I think like martyrdom would probably be something that he looks forward to. But
outside of that, there's also obviously a, like you said, a horizontal leadership
structure and within the Iranian forces, within the Politburo, within the political
side of Iranian civil society and within the IRGC, the Ayatollah is probably one of the
more restrained elements, whether it be offering personal setbacks to the Iran nuclear program
or even the restrained nature in which Iran has refused to retaliate beyond some
kind of retaliatory theater as we talked about with Qatar. So if you take out Ayatollah or even
some of the top line generals in the IRGC, which have become even hardliners from the last cleansing
that took place in the 12-day war, you're going to have a group of individuals that are even less
responsive to American negotiations. That's my speculation. It turns out the CIA is saying
similar things as well.
But yeah, and I don't, I think that there, I mean, there's a couple of things I want
to comment on that, but just to start with what you just said.
I think that even is confirmable from the Iranian perspective, because what we've been
told by sources is that they have a multi-layered succession system that they put into place
at the time of the 12-day war, and it is true that a significant number of senior
military figures who fell into a more moderate camp when it came to, how should we be responding
to attacks militarily by the United States and Israel?
They're gone and there were directives issued, as I said at the beginning, further down
the command chain.
And that's why you saw this almost immediate retaliatory response by Iran across the spectrum
and actually increasingly seems like they're going to start hitting targets in these
countries in a real way.
There's been like a hotel here, a military facility here.
The airport in Kuwait was also apparently bombed as well.
But I think we're going to see a lot more on that front.
But on this issue of like, is someone from the IRGC going to take power?
That's not exactly what we've been hearing from Iranian sources.
That's not what has been reported from the Iranian side.
It's newsworthy that that is the assessment that the CIA is making.
But again, I think it goes back to Iran being a nation of institutions.
Yes, it has a supreme leader, and that may that seems like a very foreign concept to certainly
two Westerners.
But that doesn't mean that it's not a country of institutions.
Another thing about Ali Khamenei specifically, remember that yes, he is a religious and
a highly revered religious figure in the world of Shia Islam.
There's no question about that.
But he also, on a tactical level, was deeply involved with the Iran-Iraq war.
And he is not just a guy sitting in a room praying for the world.
This is someone who also has been a combatant in this war since the 1979 Islamic Revolution,
understands the stakes very well, and understands military strategy.
This is not just like your neighborhood priest who's giving, like, this is someone
who really, really understands on a tactical and political level the enemy that his country
is facing. That is just a factual thing. This is a highly advanced scientific society
that is a society of institutions. I keep emphasizing that because it is not some sort
of banana republic somewhere where you just pluck out the dictator and everything comes
crumbling down. The other part of it is who are the ground forces that are going
to come in to implement this thing. You know, Pakhlavi, what he's going to raise an army,
the MEK, you know, this fanatical cult that has this over, you know, oversized influence among
politicians in the United States. You're going to have what Kurdish forces, you know, come in.
It's, it's, you know, some military planners have said it's like they're not actually
thinking it through on a political level. The US military advisors, they're telling
Trump all of this stuff. They're painting pictures for him. And the Trump people kept
coming back and looking for something clean. So what do we get in Trump's speech? We get
Trump going out there, and it's like it was like this weird hodgepodge potpourri of things
I'm going to throw at you. Wow, the 79 revolution. Oh, they took our embassies hostage and he
throws in, they were involved with the USS coal bombing in Yemen in 2000, which was
done by Al-Qaeda, you know, sort of sworn enemies of Iran. He's throwing, he's just
throwing everything at the wall. And then he's saying after we are finished, raining
bombs down on you. Everyone should stay inside for now because bombs are going to rain down.
But then you're going to seize the reins of power, which you've always wanted, and we're
going to hand it over to you. It's as though it presumes that there is some strange tiny
cult that somehow is in charge of a nation of 90 million people and that it's just
a matter of killing the leaders of that. And then everybody comes out and says, oh
my God, we want the Shah back in power. And this is like fanciful thinking that
from an American perspective, too, if you want to be just looking at what are America's interests,
could well result in a large number of American deaths. Not to mention, they're blowing up girls'
schools within hours of this thing starting. They blow up, and I'm sure the death toll is going
to rise. They hit a girls' school. They're hitting sports facilities. That bombing,
by the way, of that girl's school is as horrifying as some of the worst single bombing
episodes that we've seen in Gaza, and they did it within like hours of launching this
thing on day one.
We always talk about what are American interests, but I think it needs to be said, Hassan, that
what about the Iranians who are dying on the other side of these missiles?
And again, the whole thing is a cooked up narrative.
There is no imminent threat.
There is nothing to preempt.
The only thing that was preempted was a diplomatic solution where the other side
was making concessions that were on an unprecedented scale.
The Iranian people are being punished for Trump's nonsensical war that was facilitated
by the Democrats doing nothing yet again, not raising any voices, quietly cheering this
on, cynically hoping that it benefits them electorally.
That's the bankrupt nature of our politics that leads to a war that is setting literally
the Middle East on fire right now.
Yeah.
Now, they have no succession plan, and that much is very clear from some of the
targets that they've actually prioritized as well in the first round of the bombing, where
they, one, apparently they tried to strike the president's residence as well. And the
president is like elected civil society leadership that is a reformist, right? Like this is,
you know, I know that I'm sure that-
So is the foreign minister by that matter.
So is the foreign minister.
Yeah, exactly. The foreign minister and the president are, they're not like,
Like, they're nowhere near, even from the eyes of the Iranian population, they're not
seen as like, you know, I'm sure that they're very upset because they feel as though the
Ayatollah Sahain selects everyone regardless.
But like, these are some of the more reformist and some of the more moderate forces in Iranian
society.
They've actually, from what I understand, targeted the, in the pastura district,
residential building in which Akhtar Ali, the leader of Iran's green movement, was housed
under house arrest since 2011.
So they're actually going after oppositional figures as well.
And it leads me to believe that their goal here is to create a Libya-style scenario
without any sort of ground elements they have, or maybe lean heavily into whatever kind
of Mossad ground elements they do have inside of the country and hope that Kurdish forces
can and can cause enough chaos and destabilization elsewhere
and then internally in tehran and in the in the heart of the government the
heart of the iranian government they can create enough mass instability
uh... with the hopes that they just have a failed state
uh... that is
it seems like that's their their most likely scenario out of this they have
no succession plan
or would it be appropriate even if they had a succession plan by the way i'm
not saying that at all
but it's just very obvious that they have no
They have no goals here other than the fact that Israel is terrified of the Iranian ballistic missiles program
because it showed its capabilities of being able to cut through the FAD interceptors and the Aero systems
and the Tamir interceptors as well and actually strike at the heart of Israel in Tel Aviv
and strike at military targets in and around Israel.
And they want to be able to defang the administration with the hopes that they can just like
like, without depleting their munitions like they almost did last time, they want to be
able to cause enough instability, enough chaos that there is no, there's never a threat
from the Iranian, the Iranian ballistic missile systems ever again.
Yeah, and I think remember what, what Israel did when Assad fell in Syria, you know, the,
which Trump recently took credit and said that he basically put Ahmed al-Sharah, you
in power, that's for a different show though, but the Israelis turned around and they bombed
the entire conventional military capacity of Syria, including all of its defensive weaponry
that basic nation states have.
And the reason that Israel did that was to ensure that no Arab government was going
to be able to take power or establish power in Syria that would be capable of defending
itself against Israel.
And Israel, of course, is moving toward annexing even further territory inside of Syria.
And I think there's a degree to which, you know, I don't know to what extent Trump is
willing to go the distance for what he believes is going to be a regime change war.
Remember it was the U.S. and Israelis that sort of wanted the 12-day war to end that
reached out and said, okay, it's enough is enough.
And the Iranians view this as the launch of a potentially existential war.
And so I think we're going to see them pull no punches in their reply.
But how long does Trump want to take this on?
What happens if the Iranians manage to strike a U.S. base and they kill a large number
of U.S. personnel?
What's going to happen in that scenario?
So we have those questions, but let's play this out of it and say, okay, they're
going to continue bombing and they're hitting ballistic missile sites throughout the
country.
rebombing some of the facilities that they did last time, which, again, there's no imminent
threat of Iran making a nuclear bomb, we should just be very clear about that.
But let's say that the point is to use that as a justification for doing the rest of this,
and they don't really even pretend to have an ultimate justification.
It's kind of like a junior varsity version of the Cheney propaganda that took place
prior to 2003.
They're taking some shades of Cheney, but it's not even like in the same universe
of sophistication as that campaign.
And it was it's much more haphazardly thrown together and sidebar has on the New York Times
for all of their kind of pearl clutching about Donald Trump and his dangers.
What are they doing right now?
They're they're conveyor belts again for the same lies.
They're doing stories saying like, oh, Al Qaeda and Iran are in cahoots again, and
they're going to activate their networks in Europe.
They're doing the same thing again.
They're doing the exact same thing, even though like they view him as like orange
Hitler, who's going to put David Sanger in a concentration camp.
So now we're in this situation where I think part of it is that they're just going to go
after Iran's missile capacity because Israel recognizes this may take a long time, or Israel
may want to continue to be attacking and attacking and attacking Iran.
But the real question is here, at what point is the U.S. going to say, okay, it's
It's a real question. It's a real question how long this is sustainable, especially if
targets start getting hit, which I think they probably will in the region, meaning Iran is
going to start hitting and getting quote unquote successful strikes on US military assets.
And they've set it up this time in a much more, in a much less restrained manner as
well going after American bases and radar systems and early advanced warning systems in and around
the Gulf where American military bases are and they targeted them and they haven't actually
they've been pummeling Israel a lot harder this time around as well. They've learned a
lot of lessons from the 12 day war and I think this was generally what the military
advisors were leaking to the press in the buildup, uh, with this, with this armada coming
into the region where they kept saying like, we don't know if we have enough munitions,
not for offensive capabilities, mind you, but for defensive capabilities. Uh, and I think
that they also knew that this was going to happen. Uh, that's still economic activity
for the American military industrial complex for developers, for contractors and whatnot
to go back to those bases and build again, right? But, um, they knew that those
bases would get blown up, they totally let go of those bases. And that's precisely the
reason why they brought in a fleet of ALAC, like air surveillance systems instead, all
to basically defend Israel in the upcoming retaliatory strikes. Now, I don't know how
successful this defense will look like. I don't know how successful the FAD systems
will look like, especially considering that the FAD systems actually fail to intercept
quite a bit. We haven't seen the full scope of the Iranian munitions and how much they
can, like how much more success they can have in terms of penetrating the Israeli defenses.
But I, I think this is a, I think this is, this is not going to be as successful in
operation for America. And I think if this continues, the longer this goes on,
the worst things will get, especially if they end up striking American assets with
with American active duty service members in it?
Yes, and I mean, I think probably Israel
has fed the United States an idea
because I think there's still a lot of people enamored
of the Israeli intelligence in Iran.
And without question, Israel has been able to successfully
clandestinely and covertly
and at times overtly strike inside of Iran.
There's no question about that.
But I think that the power of their intelligence services
or the prowess of it is overrated.
And I think that they do a very good job of snowballing
the Americans into believing that their intelligence
is like platinum level.
And I bet that there, my guess would be that there is a lot
of or a significant amount of wishful thinking
that's been stove piped through the system
into concrete intelligence about what might happen
If you just managed to kill Khamenei and the commanders of the IRGC, there's great consternation
within the conventional military in Iran that we think we could start to see defections take
place.
Yeah, Pahlavi, nobody really likes him, but he does have X, Y, and Z, and the Israelis
are ready to do this, and they can smuggle weapons in this way.
I can imagine that they have some little lab that they're cooking this stuff up
in.
that like things come together if they just continue to bomb and bomb and bomb and bomb.
I think there's a real chance that that's part of the plan is wishful thinking.
But again, it's how heavily is the United States going to bomb?
What are they going to bomb?
How are the Iranians going to respond?
What is the response going to be in the region?
If this goes on and on and on and Iran really does pull out all stops and puts
its military force on display, we're going to know whether it was hot air or whether
Iranians were telling the truth that they've really calibrated their responses. I don't think
we've seen the most ferocious Iranian response. I think this is just starting.
Yeah, no, I agree. And we'll see, especially in nighttime, it's about, it is nighttime now
in the region. So we'll see what kind of retaliatory strikes they have. They've,
they've definitely, they've definitely upped the intensity of their bombing
campaigns in retaliation to Israel strike. And who knows? I mean, the one thing I will
say is that the only thing that both America and Israel respond to and choose to back away
from is, is a military deterrence. That's the reason for why there is an indigenous,
you know, missile ballistic missile defense industry in Iran that has been fairly successful.
And it seems that like restraint over and over again and assuming that like the western nations
will deal with Iran in as equal partners in any capacity has been an abject failure.
And it looks like they're recognizing that now because once you get back into a corner
over and over again, you're basically teaching your adversaries and the only way
to get out of it is to fight out of it, to fight their way out of it.
Yeah, all right. Well, yeah, I was gonna and again, like you, you know,
go ahead. Sorry. It's there's a there's a little bit of a trap. I apologize if it's my if it's
my internet. Yeah, yeah. No, it's all good. Go ahead. Yeah. Just just yeah, just one final
thought on this, you know, I mean, all governments are going to say, you know, oh,
you're not you, you know, we're ready to take you on, we're going to fight,
you're not going to be able to overthrow us. Like, you know, I don't think any of
of us that have followed warfare or American regime change operations or know anything about
this history are naive to that.
But when we talk about the difference between Iran and the other nations that the United
States or Israel have attacked in this manner, we're talking about a much more formidable
adversary.
We're talking about a much larger geographic area.
We're talking about a much more modern and sophisticated society with a very sophisticated
military and weapons production system.
And we're talking about decades of building horizontal institutions.
So it's not that the United States doesn't have the bombs to just continue on and on
and on.
not that there isn't sort of a really nefarious will here that's at play or that Israel is
finally getting its way. That's all true. At the end of the day, it's going to boil
down to some unpredictable components that neither you nor I really can imagine at this
point. And I think that it can come down to also what happens when there is a large
scale casualty incident involving Americans. How is Trump going to respond? Is he going
to lose his mind and start talking about using a nuclear weapon.
How is he going to respond to that?
What happens if you do this for a couple of weeks, and yes, you've killed a bunch of
people, but there's no sign of an uprising happening.
There's no sign of rebellion, and instead what you're seeing is large demonstrations
of Iranians inside uniting against what the U.S. is doing.
What happens in that scenario?
From the Iranian perspective, what does happen if the use of force by the United
States is much more overwhelming than any analysts expected, that they are actually severely
degrading the country's ability to launch ballistic missiles.
What happens if there is a real wipeout of multiple layers of the succession system in
Iran?
These are questions that float around in the ether.
And at the end of the day, the narrative from the U.S. is that there's this Islamic
Republic dictatorship that's holding a nation of 90 million people hostage.
That's the dominant narrative.
My sense is that Iran is a much more pluralistic society than that.
That you have much sharper and nuanced degrees of how Iranians in general view the Islamic
Revolution, the Islamic Republic government, what they want in their society.
This isn't a case of two options, where you either have, oh, these secular Western-oriented
Iranian diasporas who think that, you know, who want to make sure that no one ever
as to wear a hijab, and then on the other side you have the mullahs, this ridiculous oversimplification
that does a service to no one to think about.
So that human dimension is something that almost never gets talked about.
Iranians don't fall into two categories.
You have people, even within the ruling state in Iran, there is great diversity of how
people view what that government should be like, how they view its policies, including
some of the favored policies to talk about in the West.
great diversity of thought. And all I'm cautioning here is that let's say that the U.S. and Israel
are able to do unspeakable damage to the state in Iran. That doesn't mean that Iranians are
going to, like, en masse say, oh, my God, you know, thank you, Donald Trump. Now here we have
X kind of government. It's, it's, it's, it's a, that oversimplification is a total disservice,
including two Americans who are trying to assess what they actually believe about these policies.
Yeah. One last question before I let you go. Thank you so much for coming on, by the way.
Jeremy Scale of Dropside, everybody. And my question for you is, what do you have to say
to these middle powers who at Davos, led by Mark Carney and many others, had condemnations
for the United States of America and the death of the New World Order when Trump came out
and basically treated white countries, European countries, European allies in the same way
that he treats countries like Venezuela and the same way that he's treating a country
like Iran.
There was a lot of condemnation during the Greenland incident.
And yet, every single one of these European leaders and the Canadian leader with Mark
Carney has come out to condemn not the United States of America and Israel for blowing up
schools only a couple hours ago. And according to the Recrecent, the death numbers are at 200 plus
at this point in the first round of bombing with 700 plus casualties overall. They are condemning
Iran for retaliating. What do you have to say about this?
Well, look, I mean, all of these countries have just been, like, cucked by Trump.
I mean, it's really impressive.
And you know, I heard even Kier Starmer today say that Iran needs to give up its missiles.
What nation-state exists without a capacity to defend itself?
He didn't even say nuclear weapons.
He said they need to give up their weapons program, and it's like, okay, Iran, the solution
to this is you're being attacked by the most powerful nation in the world, plus Israel,
and the prime minister of Britain gets up and says that the solution is Iran should
end its weapons program.
That means that they don't believe that Iran should be a state.
And so you have the Arab countries, with the exception of Oman, have all come out and they're
condemning Iranian aggression.
They're saying nothing about the U.S. and Israeli aggression.
You have the European countries who all are issuing these milk toast statements
about concerns, about rising violence, and they're speaking as though there is no
aggressor involved here.
And then they pivot to the most passionate languages denouncing Iran, as though Iran
started this.
Iran has capitulated in terms of their terms to a set of demands that if they were on the
table in previous deals that the Europeans have called for, the Europeans would feel
that they had essentially tricked Iran.
So what the logical European position on all of this would have been to say to Trump,
Do you understand what we have on the table here?
We have been working for decades on this.
No one has ever been able to achieve this before.
Oh, my God, thank you, Donald Trump.
You got to sign this deal with Iran right now.
But they're all afraid.
They're all little poodles getting walked around the block constantly by Donald Trump.
And they say nothing.
And then they pathetically denounced the country that just had a girl's school
bomb where more than 85 people just got killed, a country that wasn't launching
strikes at the United States. And the Europeans have the audacity to denounce Iranian aggression
and call for it to lay down its entire weapons program, to not be a state anymore. We live
in a totally upside down world and I'll end with this. In my mind too, some of the biggest
villains in this story, the Democratic Party. The Democrats from the time that the genocide
began in Gaza, and it was their man and their woman in the driver's seat on that
thing. It was Biden and Harris and they could have ended that war. They could have ended
that genocide tens of thousands of Palestinians ago. They could have warded off this whole
thing. They gave us Donald Trump. They should never be able to shake these two fundamental
facts from the past three years. They facilitated the genocide. They ensured it would continue.
Then they refused to listen to people who are saying, you're going to lose this election
to donald trump if you don't stop this policy
they refuse to listen to people that knew what they were talking about and they
gave us donald trump
none of these people have any right to say
all you know that
palestinians in michigan did this no you did this
and now you're doing it again
you're doing it again because you cynically actually like it
you cynically actually like what donald trump is doing
and then you pretend all we're against it all my god chuck schumer sing
the president needs to make his case
but you need to make your case as to uh... why you haven't done war powers
resolutions why you're not up in arms about this war of aggression that we're
launching what why you know that you and i now are old enough we've seen it
yeah a lot over why you've held it off until until the bombing
campaigns began
like there was an opportunity there was a there was a shorter period i saw it as
i was argumented there was a shorter period of time in which like they
created a resolution
uh... to to honor charlie kerr i think it was eight days
uh... it's been twelve days since like i mean it's been much longer than
that, but certainly 12 days since like the Iranian conversation greatly escalated when
the Armada was there, 50, 60% of our naval assets are in the region.
12 days, they could have pushed for this war powers resolution ahead of time.
They didn't, they waited on purpose.
Now, the thing is, that's not going to stop Trump anyway, but they're not even creating
the legal hurdles, like the congressional hurdles that are necessary to basically carry
out impeachment later down the line, if they end up winning in the midterms and have the
capacity to start articles of impeachment once again.
That's what's so crazy is that they're not putting up any fight whatsoever.
And it's so obvious that it is because they want this to happen.
It is uniparty.
Striking Iran has been a uniparty decision for many, many years.
Now, I'm not saying that there aren't any Democrats at all that are against this.
There certainly are some who have been outspoken on this, but they are far from the majority.
And as long as those people also don't call out the party leadership for their lack of
interest in moving in any direction to create some sort of like reasonable defense against
it.
And it's all seen as, in my opinion, a total capitulation, total concession to the fascist
imperialist endeavors of the Trump administration and Israel.
Yeah, I mean, I know you're going to move on, but just in closing on that front, I agree
with you that there are a handful of political elected officials in the Congress, and they're
not all Democrats, you know, I think of Thomas Massey, for example, you know, and Rojana,
of course, I mean, I think that they've done a really, you know, sort of praiseable campaign
on the war powers issue. And that's one narrow component of this, because remember
that presidents also violate this all the time. And, you know, Bill Clinton did
this during his presidency, you know, waging wars and violating the concept of the War Powers
Act. So we shouldn't also view that as like, oh, Congress is going to do this and then
Trump's going to listen to them. Oh, yeah. You know, presidents, presidents, both Democrats
and Republicans, Trump is doing it in the extreme right now. They really are enamored
of this idea of the unitary executive that when it comes to quote unquote national
security policy that Congress's only function is to fund the priorities that the president
implements. This was the life's work of Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, and the embodiment
of it under Trump is a real story. Because Trump looks like a buffoon in a lot of ways,
and he says the most outrageous stuff, but if you look at it really through the lens
of what Cheney and those guys were trying to do, what's clear is that Cheney and
company made a mistake by caring too much about the law. They were a lawless administration.
They cared too much.
Trump's kind of showing them how it's done, and he's also showing them in the same way
that Israel is showing they can bomb whoever they want and no one's going to do anything
about it.
Trump is showing them the Democrats aren't going to actually do anything about it.
They can't do anything about it.
So we shouldn't waste too much time on like, oh my God, the War Powers Act, oh my God,
they violated the War Powers Act.
It's an important battle, but the bigger battle is where's the spine from the so-called
opposition to stand up to these things, even in their own making the case for the
American people.
Chuck Schumer says Trump needs to make the case to the American people.
Why aren't the Democrats making the case to the American people in a very robust way?
Why this is a horrible idea on multiple levels, including what it's going to do to 90 million
people in Iran and what it's going to do to the region, not to mention America, you
know, America, actual American interests, like not having our people killed.
They're not making the case at all.
So it's not just about the war powers resolution or demanding that Trump make his case
to the Congress.
It's also, if we had a real opposition, they'd be making the moral, ethical and
strategic case, like, like their very existence depended on it right now,
yeah, two weeks ago, three weeks ago, and they won't do that ever.
So, yes, War Powers Act, we should use it, but that's not the end all be all yet.
No, the reason why I brought that up is because the War Powers Act in my by my
assessment is kind of like a restraining order, right?
A restraining order doesn't create a physical protective barrier around you
and your stalker. It just simply creates legal paperwork so that
when there is any sort of additional enforcement of a restraining order in
violation of a restraining order, you have more tools in your disposal to
prosecute it. And the War Powers Act here is not technically in a functioning
government, it's supposed to be a mechanism of enforcement. But we know
it's not. But at least it creates a paper trail, a legal paper trail, so that
you can actually enforce articles of impeachment later down the line. It
also evases the narrative. You're 100% agree with you. I don't mean to
apply that it's a nothing thing. I'm just saying that it shouldn't be the
the only thing we're talking about.
Well, for sure.
Remember, for sure.
The era we live in now, it's not just that you have to tune in to cease-fand to watch
the debate.
In the media environment we live in now, with clipping, with people pulling things, what
would happen if we had an actual war powers resolution debate is that you would have
an actual debate about fundamental issues involving the American Constitution, about
the war powers of the Congress, about the war making of the President, and then
Then you would have the best among that lot in Congress making some of the cases that you
would want to hear or I would want to hear.
And then what that does is you then see recognizable politicians making this case.
The clips go around.
That's how you then initiate also a public debate on it.
Because we don't just have to have C-SPAN.
All of us would be sitting there clipping like mad.
This was said.
This was said.
This was said.
Picking it apart.
Fact checking in real time.
ago when it was so clear this is where we were headed. Then it's like the Democrats would
have been doing something at least. It's not just about the war powers. They would have
facilitated a debate. We would have had an opportunity to talk about it where we would
have seen the positions of elected officials. They didn't want to go on record. That's
really the dark story here. None of them actually wanted to have to go on record
about this. Yeah, no, absolutely. They didn't want their ambitions to be known.
And it's crazy because once again, theoretical democracy is collapsing, especially in Western
liberal democracies, and we see that, especially when you look at the polls, and you look at
the attitude that the American population broadly has, where only 27% of Americans actually
want to strike Iran, and more than 70% of Americans don't.
In the Democratic Party, the overwhelming majority, if not damn near the entirety of the party's
base of support, actually, one, has dropped its support of Israel, has higher sympathies,
higher sympathies for the Palestinian population as opposed to the Israeli population and the
Israeli government. And especially in the case of striking Iran, there is no real constituency.
And yet, amongst our elected representatives, if you were to look at their makeup overall,
if you look at their attitude overall, it's not a real democracy in any way, shape or
form. They are not abiding by the democratic wishes of their own base of the majority
Americans and certainly not even their own base of support within the party as well,
where 80% of the Democrats say no war with Iran and yet 98% or something as high as 98% of
Democratic electeds are either quiet about it or very restrained in their approach,
it's completely unacceptable.
Yeah. Well, Hasan, thank you very much, man, for having me on. And again, you know, big
thanks to your crew of people. Like from the first time I was on your on your feed, I really,
I've said this every time I've been on, but I really mean it. Like I, you know, you've also
got some some wackadoodles with you. But like, in general, your community is a great, great
group of people, man. And I like, I'm always I always love the dialogue and the feedback
that I get from your from your broader community yes thank you so much for
coming on everybody's support drop site and Jeremy's reporting it's an honor to
have you on as always thank you all right have a good week everybody bye okay
I am going to run to the bathroom as I play this video now because I have to be
really bad but that was Jeremy's scale everybody our objective is to defend
the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian
regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people.
Its menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas,
and our allies throughout the world.
For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted death to America and waged an unending campaign
of bloodshed and mass murder, targeting the United States, our troops and the innocent
people in many, many countries.
All right, let's bring in CNN's Elena Trine.
She's reporting from Palm Beach, Florida.
Elena, the president said on Friday that he was not happy with where the talks were
with Iran.
And now we're seeing the consequences of that.
Absolutely.
And I think you're right to point out that the context of all of this is incredibly
important.
been hearing of Victor in recent days, really in the lead-up, until the strike, these strikes
this morning, the president saying that he wanted diplomacy. He was hoping a deal could
be reached. And from all the conversations I had with people at the White House, that
was sincere.
But of course, at the same time, you saw the Trump administration and the president
directly order the most large or the most massive military build-up in the region
and since essentially the 2003 war with Iraq.
And so that leverage was there.
And I think a lot of people were waiting
to see whether the president would move on that.
And of course he did.
I also found it very remarkable just
to see the president in that video statement giving it
and releasing it on social media, having that be the way
that he delivered it.
Well, there's a couple of things
I took away, Victor, from those remarks from the president.
One is that he said that this is going to be a massive
and ongoing operations.
And that comes as sources are telling
our colleagues at Cohen and I that the United States
is planning for there to be several attacks
or several days of attacks.
This is going to be a long operation
and could ultimately be the largest military operation
the president has ever overseen,
including during his first term.
But another moment that I found very striking
as well is that he essentially-
I've long said that George W. Bush
the worst contemporary administration that America has ever seen bar none because of the global war
on terror. After today's events, depending on where this goes, I think Donald Trump is objectively
now the official title holder and is far more devastating. I will say that.
I think that his reign of terror is going to be more consequential than George W. Bush.
If this goes the way that they're signaling, if this goes the way that they're signaling,
and there is a destabilization of Iran in particular, it is truly, I mean,
And at the domestic front, Trump is worse.
All this stuff is true, right?
I mean, George W. Bush did the Patriot Act, he walked so Trump could run.
All this stuff is theoretical.
But if you look at the hard, if you look at the actual, like, incalculable death toll of
the global war on terror, the destabilization that took, the destabilization came afterwards
or during, until, I would say, like, until this moment, they were competing with
one another. From this point onward, I think Trump takes the cake. This isn't to say that
Donald Trump was good by any metric, by the way. I'm just trying to highlight how evil
the Bush administration was.
Really, and effectively called for regime change in Iran. The president said in those
remarks, quote, when we are finished, take over your government. That was a message
to-
He cares more about Iran's democracy than he cares about the U.S. democracy.
No brother, he does not care about either democracy.
He does not care about democracy, period, and he's never cared about Iranian democracy.
That's not a real thing.
You don't bring about democracy by blowing up schools.
You don't bring about democracy by blowing a country up.
That's just a lie that they half-heartedly told the American population leading up
to this, and I guess some people were silly enough to believe it, but that was never
the case.
That was never the truth.
the Iranian people. It will be yours to take. This will probably be your only chance for generations.
That is a huge statement, particularly as really over the past year or so, ever since
the president went into office for his second term, all of his top advisors were trying
not to say that directly. And even though the president didn't say it directly, he
came as close as he ever really has to acknowledging that one of the goals in this larger
operation is to potentially see if the Iranian people can use this weakened state that the
regime now finds itself in to kind of overthrow and push against the government there.
So that was a remarkable thing as well.
I also think it's worth pointing out, and you mentioned this, Victor, just to have
disappointed and frustrated the president seemed yesterday when talking about the
negotiations that were going on just two days ago in Geneva between the president's
top adviser, Steve Wyckoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner with the Iranians
and intermediaries in Switzerland, saying that they did not go far enough.
And what we know that the United States wanted from Iran was to, one, be very clear that
they had no goals and did not want to ever make a nuclear weapon, and also that they
wouldn't commit to zero enrichment of uranium, things that the president argued they were
not able to get to.
And so that is what's led us to this moment.
But of course, so many big questions, I think that many Americans still have about
what the future of this is going to look like. It's really interesting that uh one of the
one of the questions that I keep receiving in the chat over and over again is like uh the coverage
around whether or not Ayatollah Ali Hamanay is dead or not. The Israeli intelligence has
often been correct in their assessment whenever they say like uh you know a high-profile target
has actually been assassinated. There are very few instances where they actually get it wrong.
wrong. They lie about everything else. But the Israeli intelligence is saying that Ayatollah
Ali Khamenei is dead. Iran is saying that that is not the case. Now, judging by past performance,
he could just as well have been killed. The issue here that a lot of people don't comprehend
is that is not as meaningful as you think it is, okay? Even if that was the case,
which there's no evidence for at this moment.
That's nowhere near as meaningful as you think it is,
or meaningful in the direction that you think
it might help boost morale of like some
on the ground movement of Iranians
that are gonna now seize control over the government.
As I talked about with Jeremy earlier,
there is a line of succession.
This is a competent government
with a contingency plan built into it
with horizontal expansion and numerous other forms
that can seize control over the government
and the government functions and continue
retaliating against both the United States and also Israel.
And not only that, but also there are,
there is a regional significance for the Ayatollah as well,
as you probably know by now,
if you've been in here for a long enough time,
that there are Shias all around.
There are Shias in Lebanon.
There's a robust population in Iraq, in places where there are, you know, American military
bases, and their response to the assassination of their highest, their, you know, their highest
religious figure will not be kind.
Okay?
Whether he is dead or alive still doesn't change the reality that this is still a functioning government
The notion that you would just like take out the Pope of Iran right the Pope of Shia Islam, and then all of a sudden everyone is going to
Everyone's gonna go oh my god
He's dead, so I guess it's over now is is silly is stupid
Holy shit look at this video
The Shahid is flying at you, bro.
For the record, and I saw this with my own personal fucking two eyes when I was in Doha.
Not to say that this is happening in Doha right now, but if you're wondering if you're curious
as to why the Iranian drones are being expended on like civilian infrastructure in hotels and
whatnot. I suspect that the Iranian intelligence has seen that the American military has not
fully left the, the, they've left the bases, but they probably not fully left the countries.
They're not all in Israel or whatever. I suspect that they're probably staying in
those hotels because there's no other reason why they were just like, this is Iran attacking
all the middle east not israel know your enemy buddy wait what is iran attacking
everyone not israel know your enemy bud
do you think iran is just attacking bahrain and and the gulf states for no
fucking reason are you stupid i'm literally in the process of explaining to
you why they're not only striking american radar and and american military
bases in the region but they're also most likely striking at these uh...
Civilian infrastructure because the American military assets have moved into the civilian infrastructure, and they're basically waiting it out
Now is that actually is that actually within the rules of war? I don't think so, but does it fucking matter obviously not right?
There are no more rules of war at this point this is the design that Israel and America had
for the rest of the world
Also, it's really funny to be like, um, you know know your enemy if you're Middle Eastern if you're a Gulf state know your enemy
It's Iran. It's not fucking America and Israel. Okay, buddy
The reason why I said I saw smile to eyes because when I was in Doha when I was staying at the hotel that I was staying at I saw
like
Officers in uniform also staying at the hotel
Scenes of damage to the Kuwait airport following was targeted by a drone.
Do you think Iran will respond by launching at America?
At America, thousands of miles away?
Iran, as far as I know, does not have the ballistic missiles capability of targeting
American soil, that they will most likely target the American naval assets in the region if
they haven't done so thus far.
America in many respects gets to be as violent as it wants to be because it's actually totally
sheltered from the consequences of its endeavors.
This is the reason why we get to behave in the violent and unrestrained ways that
we want to.
I support all the, yeah, I support all the lies the war is based on, but not the war itself,
old liberal proverb.
Now compare and contrast, Zohran Kwame Mamdani's statement about going to war with Iran and
what the consequences of that might look like versus Gavin Newsom, the corrupt and repressive
Iranian regime must never have nuclear weapons of leadership of Iran must go, but
that does not justify the President of the United States engaging in a legal dangerous war that
will risk the lives, risk the lives of our American service members and our friends
without justification to the American people.
President Trump is putting Americans at risk abroad because he is unpopular at home.
This is the lackluster shit-lib response to Donald Trump literally fucking waging war
with Iran.
It is mind-boggling.
Also, the name of the green movement leader is Mir Hussein Musawi, not Ali Akhtar.
sorry aliyakhtar is the area that he's in
also some iris on is in here
uh... and then has been yelling at me
for the last week
and he's still talking about why is iran targeting residential buildings
brother
all my fucking god
your countrymen are being slaughtered
and you're still going was iran targeting civilian buildings
You are out of your fucking mind, dude.
200 dead, 90 schoolgirls murdered by American weapons, by American targeting systems in Israeli hands,
and you're going, oh, why is Iran retaliating? You are a psycho! You're a fucking psychopath!
Jesus Christ!
Please what the fuck this is what we were talking about
This is what I was saying for weeks and weeks on end the notion that like Americans care about liberal democracy in Iran is so fucking stupid
Because America wants to blow up Iran America wants to kill even more protesters than the Iranian government did and you're over here thinking that
This is gonna be a liberatory act. It's not
huh
Anyway
Ay, ay, ay, man.
And that has been a big struggle.
You can criticize both.
No, you can't criticize both.
What do you mean you can criticize both?
What are you talking about, dude?
What are you talking about?
The Iranian government's repressive elements or the Iranian government's repression is
inconsequential if we're talking about tens of thousands more people dying in the
hands of a foreign state.
What the fuck do you mean?
The actual, the actual response, the actual repression from the state in and of itself
is completely unacceptable.
But once again, as I kept repeating over and over again, like, you're literally looking
at one strike, two strikes, on two different girls' schools that killed nine to 13-year-old
girls by by the dozens like 85 plus nine year old girls died in a fucking school
like what are we talking about what the fuck are we talking about
there is no both sides there was no both sides and fucking Gaza either
there's no both sides and fucking Gaza
There's no both sides. Is there both sides in Ukraine? Do you spend a good deal of time talking about like Ukrainian repression?
Oh, Zelensky is not allowing democracy to thrive in Ukraine. I don't I don't give that argument any fucking credence
It's ridiculous
Yes, I know CBC released my interview
Today
Was on piker comes to Canada
Comments are turned off. Oh brother
Huh
They claimed it was IRGC Miss fire. Oh, wow, you know, I was born yesterday
And and I didn't actually watch this happen. I
I didn't actually see this exact same fucking response over and over again
So I was born. Yeah, I'm a baby. I'm a baby with a baby's brain
So of course I'm gonna go. Oh, it must have been its own
misfire
I
Shit dude, is there any way for you to check if your YouTube stream is restricted? Why are you saying that? I don't think it is
Why because there's not a lot of people watching on YouTube is that what you think?
Yeah, hum hospitals hum hospitals
Yeah, there's there's the German chatter is having issues that one German chatter is having issues in their region. Wait, really?
No.
It's fine for me in Germany.
here. Here, let me fix it. Okay. Are you ready? I'm going to fix it. One second. Israel has
a right to defend itself. Am Israel high? Am Israel high? Am Israel high? Israel has
a right to defend itself. Israel, most moral nation in the world. Israel, best nation
in the world. Israel, only nation in the world in my heart and my soul. I am Israeli.
i would love to be israeli one day
i i think
that uh... iran is the scariest country on the planet much worse than israel iran
actually did a genocide
and killed seven
seventeen million iranians in two days
by uh... facilitating the only nuclear strikes that they the only nuclear arms
that they actually had developed a developed in use against their own
population as opposed to the fake genocide in gaza that's not a real
genocide
the real genocide is actually when
uh... israeli feelings are hurt
i love the nation state of israel
i i think israel should uh... be able to deploy is jericho three nuclear
first right capabilities on every country i hope one day that israel actually
uh...
if we ever step out of line maybe israel will use it on me
there you go is that good
hopefully this will fix in the algorithm
and i will get the algorithmic booth
from uh... youtube as well
$7,000 has been deployed into my bank account. Yes. Um,
is this sarcasm? The fuck do you think, man? I'm making a joke.
Yeah. I love a pack. A pack is just the democratic wishes of the overwhelming
majority's population who are also stupid because they don't understand how important
Israel is.
Also yeah, this was the analysis from Barry, Bonson Barry, who said they have not stopped
hammering Israel for the last nine hours, during the 12 day war, the attacks would come every
six to 12 hours.
Typically, they're keeping this tempo up, also striking at over a dozen US bases
in the Gulf hitting vital radar systems in Air Force Two.
Now they are closing Hormuz.
They haven't fully closed Hormuz yet, but there's speculation that they're going
to close her moose. And yeah, so it is definitely different.
Kamala's out with a statement. Shut the fuck up.
Bounds up a dragon in the United States in the war. The American people do not want.
Hold on.
Let me be clear. Let me be clear. Let me be clear.
And Pussy too. Let me be clear. I'm opposed to a regime
change war in Iran and our troops are being put in harm's way for the sake of Trump's
war of choice
is a dangerous and necessary gamble with america lives that also jeopardizes the
uh... stability in the region
and pussy too
and standing in the world
wait this is actually is reckless is dressed up as resolved another set their
romp of god i was gonna say this is actually not that bad and then she
goes
i know that the romp of them they must never be allowed to have a nuclear
weapon
But this is not the way to dismantle that threat.
Ay, ay, ay.
Lending credences to as to why this war must be waged while
criticizing the way you're waging the war is the most idiotic,
lackluster, totally neutered, totally feckless, liberal version
of, of I'm doing my part.
Okay.
It's just you're making concessions.
I've said this over and over again, right?
I said this during the 12 day war.
I said this now, I'm saying this now.
If you turn around and tell your audience that actually we have to do something about
Iran while simultaneously going, but the way Trump is going about it, I don't like, you're
basically saying you have an aesthetic difference.
Okay?
Why would anybody listen to you?
Why would anybody go, okay, so we just didn't follow process.
Is that the problem?
Because the process is not the problem.
It's always fucking form over function with these demons.
It's the function that is the problem, okay?
God damn.
It's so fucking frustrating to hear these guys do the same song and dance over and over again.
Ah, Satan Yahu says Khamenei was targeted.
Today.
I know Khamenei was targeted, but was he killed?
That's the question.
And the Israeli intelligence claims they are so sure that he was killed.
He might have been.
But I'm not so sure that the equation changes in a way that suits Israel's purposes if
he was, as a matter of fact, assassinated.
the opening attack. We have targeted the site where Khamenei was, this tyrant who has spread
the terrorism across the world, and who was the architect of the plan to destroy Israel.
This plan has been destroyed completely today in the open.
Low key, most might just allow for somewhere younger, more radical to take the reins.
Here's the other side of the story, okay?
Let's say there is no popular base for the Ayatollah, even though there is, right?
It's not the majority, but it doesn't matter.
a significant enough percentage of the population. But let's say that doesn't exist. Let's say
everyone is now secular in Iran. They're secular. They're Western focused. They love the West,
but they're still anti-Zionist and they still have a indigenous, you know, missile, indigenous
munitions manufacturing industry. And they're still continuing along with their facilities,
their underground missile silos,
their underground missile production facilities,
their underground missile launching capabilities
are still there, they're still intact.
What does Israel do then?
Let's say Iran democratically arrived at the same fears
that we all have about Israel.
What then?
Does Israel let up all of a sudden?
What argument do they use at that point?
Because at the end at the end of the day, this has nothing to do with the Iran's version of governance and
Everything to do with Iranian sovereignty being an ever-present danger and threat to Israel's ambitions in the fucking region. Okay, I
Can give you one example that is in line with American interest in the region, okay
Turkey
Turkey is what they claim Iran should be
Right?
Turkey's a secular country even though the leadership is more right-wing and more Islamist than ever before,
but it doesn't matter. Ultimately, Turkey has all the functions of the things that they want to implement in Iran.
And even the modest pushback that the Turkish government presents to Israel's ambitions in the region,
despite the fact that Turkey is a fucking NATO nation, has led Israel to openly say
Turkey is the next Iran. Turkey is in Israel's kill list. A NATO country.
So even if they turned Iran into Libya, even if they turned Iran into Libya, destabilized it,
And, and its reverberations will be felt across the entire European continent, uh, entire world
as a matter of fact, some massive country, let's say they destabilize this country, let's
say they destroy the sovereignty of this nation state.
And now you have tens of millions displaced, uh, another refugee crisis, destroying the
entire region once again, right?
They say they want to go after Turkey next.
And Turkey has been in line with Israel's interest in the region because Turkey is a
servant of empire just like Israel is a servant of empire.
So it's very clear that their ambitions are actually no longer converging with America's
grand design in the region.
Their ambitions go beyond.
Their personal ambitions, Israel's personal ambitions is to seize as much territory
and ethnically cleanse it to the best of their ability.
That is very clear.
Okay?
Is there a fascist country and not all fascist nation states are going to exclusively work
within the realm of material necessity, imperialism as the highest state of capitalism, okay?
There are certain instances where, you know, even the American government acts out in
ways that don't pertain to immediate natural resource extraction when they engage in
some aspects of foreign policy engineering. Okay, Haiti is a great example of this. Cuba
is another example of this. Like why the fuck are we constantly destabilizing Haiti?
Is it the limestone? Is that what we want from Haiti? Is that, you know, the robust
limestone depots that they have that we need? Is it a matter of necessity?
No, we're doing it because we want to punish a country that was designed around a slave rebellion, a successful slave revolt.
Same with Cuba.
We don't want to have a stable communist government so close to the United States of America.
It's terrifying.
So there are sometimes ideological ambitions that supersede the grand capitalist design.
And especially as liberal capitalism is failing, a lot of people lean into that fascism and the ideological purposes.
And that's kind of what you're seeing with American foreign policy as Israel takes control over the men in the region and the grand design that America has in the region.
Yes, I saw the fucking cruise missiles flying over Iraq is one of the most incredible sites.
Look at this.
Imagine being some poor Iraqi farmer watching $40 million worth of cruise missiles on their
way to Iran then going back to work.
Look at that.
interesting about this video also is that and this first line of attack from
Israel is that last time in the 12-day war their opening salvo was actually planes.
They did much more precise targeting with their air force. This time their
their opening salvo was cruise missiles.
It's very interesting.
They did not have a sophisticated infiltration mechanism that they could open up like they
did last time that dismantled their aerial defenses and things of that nature.
It calls into question how much more they have at their disposal in terms of destabilizing
Iran.
I don't know.
speculating. I saw a picture of a bloody backpack on Reddit. Did we really strike an elementary
school, we struck two elementary schools. We killed 80 little girls. Not one, but two.
ugh
yeah
could this be the end of america it's entirely dependent on what kind of what level of of
retaliation Iran has the capability to commit to it's it's again it's entirely
dependent on what happens next because if Iran fucking unleashes a barrage of
of it's more sophisticated munitions on Tel Aviv,
on American naval assets in the region,
and they are capable of continuing this war,
continuing the retaliatory strikes,
and they start killing actual American soldiers,
service members, if they start blowing up American assets,
if they are capable of holding a blockade
on the Strait of Hormuz,
if they're capable of unleashing a full war on the oil fields
and collapsing the global petroleum markets.
At that point, it's up to us here
in the United States of America and the Imperial Corps,
it's up to us living in the Western world
to make a big enough fuss about the instability
to make it virtually impossible to continue this war.
At that point, who knows what might happen?
The Iranian government has worked overtime to arrest, disappear most of every principled
reformist leader, and when Israel bombs, they target them.
There's no decent follow-up to a collapse.
Even more cool-headed IRGC leaders are gone.
Regime change in Iran just means security elements most responsible of the worst repressions
will rule.
Maybe they play ball like Delcey and Venezuela, but it won't be better for the people.
Yeah, of course it won't be better for the people.
There's no, there's never a moment where American intervention has yielded a prosperity
for the fucking population that is on the receiving end of American attacks, Israeli
attacks that doesn't happen, that's never happened and it will never happen, that's
just a fucking lie.
And it's not even a lie that they are committed to at this point.
It's not like they're fucking saying, we're doing this for you people, you know?
They're not even committed to it!
Come on, come on!
Come on, come on!
Come on, come on, come on, come on!
There's a chef!
Oh, fuck!
You know
You know
I need a head count.
I need a head count.
That's Cutter.
They refused to tell them for months that they were going to deploy how long it's been planned.
I mean, you can't conduct a military operation like this overnight, okay?
It's months in advance planning.
I've been falling to the ground and exploding in Doha, the capital of Cutter.
Why are they laughing?
Wait, where did the video go?
So this is one of the buildings that was struck in Bahrain that's on fire.
For those of you who are asking why like residential buildings are being struck with Iranian shot
head drone strikes in places like Bahrain, I suspect that it's not to punish the countries
of Gulf nations that are allowing Americans to reside in them or allowing American bases
residing them, but it's more so because a lot of the service members are moved out of the bases
and they're probably staying in hotels and shit. Something that I've seen personally as well,
if they strike is, remember, they have the enemies of America have limited tools at their
disposal, right? The foreign adversaries, our foreign adversaries have limited tools at their
disposal, which is why I always stress that people that go, oh, why did they, why did the Hamas militancy like, you know, throw missiles at whichever direction they possibly could?
Well, that's because their capabilities are incredibly limited. Number one, they don't have the precise
striking capabilities more often than not. And two, if they're striking a target,
if they're striking a target, they most likely have some intelligence about why they're striking said target, because
If you have more limited tools, more limited munitions capabilities, you're going to try to make the most use out of them.
You're not going to like try to fucking blow up a random house or whatever.
Israel gets away with doing whatever the fuck it wants to because it has virtually unlimited munitions.
And its grand strategy is just, you know, ethnic cleansing.
Having said that, of course, there are other civilians that are casualties in the process,
other civilians that are also living there that get struck and it's, you know, not...
This is just a byproduct of, once again, America's imperial endeavors in the region.
It's also a byproduct of Israel and America totally destroying the rules of warfare.
where the pre-established rules are completely gone at this point.
It's part of the retaliation from Iran after the U.S. and Israel launched a massive and
ongoing military campaign across Iran.
U.S. embassies across the region are now telling Americans to shelter in place and
just in the State Department is now urging all U.S. citizens in Lebanon to get out
while commercial options are still available.
Let's go live right now to see this.
of Hancox is joining us from Abu Dhabi. Paula, you and your teams are hearing new explosions
where you are all the time, right? Yes, well, if there was another wave of incoming
missiles or at least we heard the blasts of what we assumed to be the interceptions.
But guys, I just want to ask you a question. If you if you feel like the highest priority
here is like, you know, liberal interventionism or something like that, do you ever question
why they do this after market close or in the weekend? Does that ever strike you as odd?
Like, because it is strange, right? It's objectively strange that they would literally
forego the element of surprise and also the capabilities that they might have by striking at night.
Why is it that Israel struck Iran in broad fucking daylight, you think?
Isn't that strange? Because if they really wanted it, if this threat was imminent, okay,
if the threat was imminent, they would probably strike Iran in the middle of the American business
day, right? They struck around not in the middle of the American business day, but after
market close. There's some to consider.
By the defense here in the UAE, this has been happening for hours now. So we're certainly
seeing no let-up in the retaliation from Iran. We've heard from the Ministry of
Defense here in Abu Dhabi saying that they have been intercepting missiles.
They also say that one person has been killed by falling debris after.
Why did they strike after market close? What do you mean? They do it on a
Friday so there isn't as much of a fucking media blitz because people pay
the maximum amount of attention to the news on a Monday morning, okay?
They pay the least amount of attention to the news on a Friday afternoon, and if
you do it after market close, you soften the impact that it's going to have on
the markets in general, because there's going to be a retaliation. That
retaliation might even lead to, you know, closing the Strait of Hormuz,
for example. Like what that's going to do to the stock market is
is devastating, so they try to soften its impact to the best of their ability and let
the situation work itself out and have the market stabilized by the time it opens again
on Monday morning.
I'm so glad the Evil IRGC is on its knees.
Cope.
Just maximum cope once again, even if that was the case, which there's not a lot of
evidence for that right now. But even if that was the case, the notion that that is going
to somehow impact their life in a positive way is so fucking stupid.
The Israeli mind chief political analyst, so now after Khamenei has been eliminated, can
we say that Tucker Carlson is the most prominent anti-Semitic leader of our generation? Oh my
god. Oh my god, yes. Khamenei is slated to give a speech about how he's not dead,
Israelis already have said that that will be a pre-recorded speech.
Once again though, it doesn't even fucking matter even if Khamenei is dead. Does that solve any
problem whatsoever? No, fuck no, of course not. Of course not. It's ridiculous. It's utterly
ridiculous. An interception. We've seen images of smoke near the Al-Dafra base here in Abu
Dhabi as well. So potentially not all of those missiles were intercepted, but we're certainly
seeing no let up in this retaliation. We've seen it as well in Doha in Qatar. They just
recently had another wave of incoming missiles. Officials there saying that they are intercepting
them as they come in. There are shelter-in-place orders across the Gulf nations. Airspace has
been closed, we know, in Bahrain, where the US Navy's fifth fleet is based, that they
have been targeted as well. And the same in Kuwait. We have heard reports in Jordan
as well. There is anger as well as concern amongst these Gulf nations that they have
become targets themselves. Many of them had said to the United States they were unable
to use their bases if they were going to strike Iran. They had said that their airspace must
not be used as well as they wanted to put some distance between themselves and what the U.S.
President was ultimately going to decide to do. We've heard statements, for example,
from Saudi Arabia saying that they give the strongest condemnation of this blatant
and cowardly Iranian attacks also pointing out that there have been incoming into into
Riyadh and the eastern province.
Fucking awesome, dude.
He's really fucked up.
Why are they why are they defending themselves?
Why won't they just like sit there and eat it?
By the way, that was literally a question from NBC News to the foreign minister of Iran.
If you think, if you think that we are not living on a separate fucking planet with the
way that these guys approach every issue, look no further than this interview for clarity.
So for clarity, you said that your missiles cannot reach the United States by design
and that you do not want to reach the United States,
but you also said it would be necessary
as a defensive vehicle that you could if necessary.
So to be clear, are you committing that Iran is not
and will not build missiles
that would have the capability to reach the United States?
I can confirm, yes.
Sir, if that's a red line for you,
why is attacking US military bases abroad justified?
But because they are attacking us.
They are U.S. military, you know, installations, affinities, bases, they're attacking us.
We are under attack.
Why don't you recognize this fact?
We are under the attack by U.S., by U.S. forces in the region.
So we have every right to defend ourselves and how to defend ourselves, we attacked,
you know, the U.S. bases.
This is obvious.
This is a very simple fact, and I hope that – and I'm sure that people would
understand that. We are not the one who attacked Americans. We are only defending ourselves.

Sina to see 200 missiles fired thus far
Today from around the israel alone and just under 12 hours the entire 12 day war around 550 were launched
The fact that the US is really directing cyber assaults haven't significantly reduced Iran's ability to retaliate the get-go, as they did for over 10 hours in June, is important.
Despite full spectrum, US, Israeli assault, Iran appears to have entered this war firing at scale.
Yeah. That's why I'm saying this is not like the 12-day war at all.
This is not like the 12-day war at all. They are, they're, they have a much, much higher level of threat.
They're at a much higher level of threat. They are increasing the frequency of their
attacks. Gloves are off, it seems. And this might not be the full scale, the full spectrum
of their capabilities either.
Al-Mayyadine, assorted to the leadership of Iraq's Islamic Resistance, told Al-Mayyadine
that their fighters have begun several operations against U.S. bases this noon. Earlier today,
Iraq's popular mobilization forces announced several casualties as a result of the
ongoing U.S.-Israeli aggression on Iran and its allies, the area of Junaf al-Nasim, north
of the Babel province, was subjected to several airstrikes at 11.50 a.m. today, the PMS statement
read, resulting in the martyrdom of two individuals and the injury of three others within varying
degrees of wounds.
You also have Hezbollah in Lebanon, but they are, I think, they're just like
totally diminished at this point.
IDF spokespersons, the crossings to Gaza have been closed, including the Rafah
crossing, of course, Israel is punishing the Gazans once again, punishing the Palestinians
once again. They only have one speed. You know that Israel gets hit. They hit back at some of

Yeah, it was gonna be a you know a day-long operation right it was gonna be in and out quick fast turns out. It's not

condemning and denouncing this as well in the strongest terms the blatant Iranian missile
Just so you know
While the first salvo while the opening salvo of Israel and Iran was pretty fucking disgusting as is the case
You know shooting schools and whatnot
Just understand that it's going to get worse their opening salvo was always going to be the least impactful to the citizens
the least impactful to the civilians because they still think in their minds in their machinations that there's an
opportunity here where they can get the the popular base of support to mobilize against the IRGC against the
Against the Iranian government if they start recognizing that that's not happening whether because the IRGC has been you know successful at
Destroying any kind of dissent in the country through repressive forces or even if people realize that okay?
Well, my new enemy now is America and Israel
When that when that calculation changes because if you notice like Israel is currently doing cyber warfare
They're hacking apps. They hacked a prayer app to to like get the
They get whoever they can to defect and fight against the the Iranian government all the stuff
But once they realize that the Iranian population might not
respond positively to
To what America and Israel have done so far
Or if they run out of military targets, which they probably won't
They are going to start punishing the civilian population even more so than they have it isn't to say that they haven't already they have
We know that they have they've killed children school children little girls
I'm telling you right now. They are going to kick up the mass casualties on the civilian side in an effort to just say fuck it
You know, we are we are
Throwing away caution. There is no alternative here. We just want to turn this country into Libya
Trump spoke to Axios and floated off-ramps, new Barak Ravid, of course, Israel's number
one journal is Barak Ravid, IDF Ravid, has gotten an exclusive with Donald Trump.
How shocking.
Netanyahu to Iranians have basically said the same thing as well.
you will be demanded to take to the streets to finish the job.
Chance and an opportunity that will not come again because you will have your moment, a
moment, well, you will be demanded to take to the street in order to finish the work
and to topple this regime, this, this, yeah.
Yeah.
They're gonna, it's gonna go from Iranians.
We see you, we hear you, we're on your side.
These are liberatory bombing campaigns too.
If you don't fucking kill your leadership right now and destabilize the country at our behest,
we will fucking murder your families.
It will turn up.
Just wait.
Another annoying liberal talking boy is pointing out the fact that a lot of the Iranian
diaspora are celebrating the strikes and are responding positively to the literal
destruction in their homes.
of their dissatisfaction with the government, yeah, I don't give a fuck about what the Iranian
diaspora is saying. I've seen it far too many times. I've heard it a million times over,
man. I heard it in Iraq. It doesn't matter. Who gives a fuck what the diaspora says?
Even if the local population was like, Oh, thank God, even if the people in Iran
right now are like, actually thank God that they're killing a bunch of people here.
Okay, that still doesn't make America and Israel's actions right
It still doesn't yield prosperity for the Iranians if they can't see it because they're too focused on their own
government's repression
I'm not going to fucking lean into standpoint epistemology to justify this kind of destabilizing incident when I've seen it play out a million times over
I'm 34 fucking years old. I've seen this play out in Iraq. I'm seeing this play out
operation sycamore in in fucking
Syria. I've seen this play out in Libya over and over again. I've seen this play out in
Afghanistan. It does not matter. It does not matter what the local population even says
in the circumstance. What will end up happening, what will end up happening is what has happened
over and over again. Mass destabilization, death and destruction, Balkanization potentially
uh... and and millions tens of millions of people displaced
it is never worked i don't know why we even entertain this fucking failed
notion any iranian wishes kind of foreign violence on their own country
who cheers this for
uh... cheers for this is a possible path towards the margherty is not ready for
democracy that's the hard truth of it yet
Oh, wrong video. Hold on. Let's get back to this.
So there is concern in these Gulf nations who are unaccustomed to this level.
Mr. Piker, I'm very stupid and uneducated.
What does Balkanization mean, please? It's OK, Chatter. I'm stupid, too.
Balkanization means cutting the country into different sects,
into different ethnicities, into different ethnic identities,
into like a bunch of small nations.
Just splitting the country into different pieces.
It comes from the Balkans, the glorious nation of Yugoslavia that no longer exists, unfortunately.
Of intense missile attack, but there is also anger that they have found themselves on the
receiving end of this as well.
Remember back in June when the U.S. and Israel carried out those strikes on the nuclear
facilities in Iran. It was Qatar only that was targeted and that one was fairly restrained.
That is not the case now. You think this is dramatically in the next few days and maybe
next few weeks going to dramatically escalate this war? I think it has the potential of
doing so, Wolf. Get in there, Wolf. Wolf Blitzer used to work for APAC, by the way, he's
a spokesperson for APAC, just so you know. I mean, that's my go, but you know, just
let you know. You're seeing is a very large Iranian response. I think you know
it's going to be interesting to get the military assessment from places like
SENTCOM to see if they had anticipated this kind of a reaction from the
Iranians. They clearly anticipated some of that by evacuating some troops from
some of these bases that you've mentioned in the Persian Gulf region, but
I don't know if they've really anticipated the magnitude of this
because it looks like you know we're... I will have Ro Khanna on it one
PM Pacific time to let his statements be known about going to war with Iran.
We're looking at, you know, several hundred, if not a series of a thousand drones heading
toward Israel and potentially other targets as well.
And if you add that, a couple of that with missiles that the Iranians still have, it
could be a fairly substantial response.
I also asked AOC, but she has not responded.
Question then would be though, what kind of follow-up will the Iranians have?
How effective is that iron dome anti-missile system that Israel has over the whole country
in dealing with a lot of drones coming in from around?
This is what the Iranians are trying to do, well if the iron dome system was not built
for drones.
It does have some modifications that have been made to it to work on the drone problem,
But the problem is that with a swarm of drones, it's going to overwhelm most radars that are
associated with the Iron Dome.
And that's why not only do they have the Iron Dome, but the other elements of the Israeli
air defense, air and missile defense systems like the Aero system and David's Sling, but
also the Aegis systems that the U.S. Navy brings in.
And those are sitting off the coast of Israel right now, and they are supposed
to help with this.
Let's see how effective they are this time.
were highly effective in June. Let's see how effective they are now. Joining me now is CNN
national security analyst Alex Plitzis. Alex, let's start right where Wolf left off explosions
over Bahrain. The Iranians hit the U. S. Navy's fifth fleet service center. Explosions
over U. A. Both Dubai and Abu Dhabi over Jordan, Kuwait, other states there in the
the region just put into context the the scope of the response from the Iranians
and what you glean from from how they've responded and how quickly. So it's
clear that they were prepared for counter strikes to a certain extent given
that they reacted fairly quickly in the middle of the night to the strikes
because in the 12-day war they took a little bit of time to respond as they
regain command and control and determine what assets that they had left
And they took five days to respond after Customs Soleimani was assassinated.
So this is clear that there had been some preplanning that was done.
And as you mentioned, the countries that were attacked here specifically are where we have specific bases.
So in Kuwait, we have Ali Al-Saleem Air Force Base in the UAE.
We have Al-Dhafra Air Base about 20 miles south of Abu Dhabi.
In Bahrain, we have the fifth fleet that's based out of there.
In Doha, we happen to have nearby Al-Yudid Air Force Base.
It's not only the Air Force Base, but also the forward headquarters for US Central Command.
So all of those locations are strategic U.S. military bases in the region.
I'm joined now by Daniel Shapiro.
US official says the US has not previously faced such a wide range of
simultaneous strikes targeting its overseas bases. Yeah, no shit.
The opening salvo and retaliation from Iran was,
was literally something that they've never faced before.
Any chance of other Islamic nations joining the fight? Fuck no.
Not even remotely happening.
Not even close to happening of anything they join on the side of America and Israel
By being like all you hit our bases the only country that will draw the only country that will take action is Yemen
That's it and maybe some of the militancy in
Iraq
Former US ambassador to Israel ambassador Shapiro. Thanks so much for joining us
I understand you are now in a shelter in Tel Aviv CNN showed their expert from the Atlantic Council is now showing their expert from Tel Aviv
What difference would Allison make? I don't know. I guess they would just like
Just straight up make Benjamin Netanyahu the only host on their show like well, how do you level this up?
Amit Segal, I guess they were hiring Amit Segal
To do commentary in Hebrew. You must learn Hebrew now like is that like how do you level up?
from your pro-Israel sentiment right now, you know?
Barak Ravid posted that Khamenei has been killed. Yeah, I know they keep saying it over and over
again. I know Israeli ambassador to Washington Yeshia Leiter told U.S. officials that Iran's
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been killed in the Israeli shock on his compound of source
with knowledge said this has been the Israeli this has been the Israeli official statement so far
they they keep saying that he's dead for sure
again that hasn't stopped the retaliation at all if you have noticed
Iran keeps saying he's alive Israel keeps saying he's dead
I, as I said earlier, as I said earlier, Israel when it comes to high profile assassinations
is usually on the ball.
We got to be, we got to be for real here, okay?
When they talk about high profile targets, they're oftentimes correct, okay?
As I said earlier in the day.
And ultimately, that doesn't matter, right?
Or it's not going to yield the response that Israel and America thinks it's going to create.
Yeah, bro, the same thing happened with Nazrallah.
Okay, I don't think you guys understand.
I know I'm saying the same things that you're saying.
Okay.
Okay? When Israel said, Hassan Nasrallah was killed in their strikes, and Hezbollah said he wasn't killed, okay?
It turned out that Israel was correct.
So whether Ali Khamenei is dead or alive, that's up in the air at this point.
It's likely that Israel is correct.
The difference here is the IRGC and the Iranian nation state is very different than Hezbollah, okay?
Do you understand?
So regardless of whether or not they were able to do a successful decapitation strike,
and assassinated Ali Hamanah and martyred him in the eyes of the popular base of Shia support all around the region, okay?
this is ultimately not going to be as consequential as like Israel and America thinks it is. Do
you see what I'm saying? Like focusing on whether or not, focusing on whether or not
he's dead or alive is utterly irrelevant right now, especially when the IRGC is currently
pummeling Israel, okay? Clearly, that has not caused Iran to turn around and go, oh my God,
we're putting our arms down. You killed the Ayatollah. What will we do? Do you understand?
The Ayatollah is 87 years old, guys. Another Iranian drone hits the US base in Bahrain with
Bahraini seemingly celebrating the strike chanting Ya Ali. This is significant because
it foreshadows what will likely happen if the war takes on a religious dimension such
of Ayatollah Khamenei is assassinated.
All you do in that situation is piss off the existing Shia population in the entire fucking
region and you take out one of the more restrained leadership positions in the Iranian government.
There's already a contingency plan.
There's already a day after plan that the Iranian leadership has.
There's no day after plan for America and Israel.
Do you see what I mean?
goals are destabilization.
So just to clarify, you do what you're seeing play out right now.
You believe this is a war.
Well, when you call for regime change, it is not a military action.
It is a war.
Congress should be on record.
Every member, all 435 members of the House, all 100 members of the Senate, make a decision,
put your name on there, yes or no.
this is not a limited military action and that is on any capacity cake this is
something because the president has given you six explanations nukes ballistic
missiles navy proxy war capacity to do that and then regime change it is all of
the above and more it's maximal so therefore because of during the 12
day war Israel did not want regime change now that's bullshit they did it
It was that America didn't have as many assets in the region as this time.
They did.
They just, America was like, see what you can do.
They over promised, okay, remember, what did Jeremy and I just talk about?
Israel and Israeli intelligence over promises and under delivers.
So in the 12 day war, Israel probably over promised to the Americans that like, oh,
If we fucking blow up the Iranian air defenses, develop air superiority over Iran, you'll have
people rise up in arms and kill the administration, you'll have, we'll be able to do regime change
that way.
And America was like, bet, go ahead, do it.
And Israel blew their fucking load.
They had Mossad operatives inside of the country.
They had a literal drone manufacturing facility in the heart of Tehran.
So they did all of that, thinking that it would yield regime change.
And America saw in the process of 12 days that their defense capabilities were diminishing
and that Iran was able to destroy the Iranian defenses.
They showed their body.
They're saying his body was found and they showed the body to Netanyahu.
Okay.
It's now official documentation of Khamenei's body was shown to the prime minister.
of the modern world's longest serving dictators is dead. Okay. Now, even with this confirmation,
we move on to the next step, because Iran hasn't stopped, right? Now, what next? What now?
What now? Because if Israeli officials know that Ayatollah is dead, which again, it's
Stop saying it's bullshit chat.
As I said earlier in the day,
Israel is correct more often than incorrect
when it comes to high profile assassinations, okay?
Even if it is correct,
even if there is full confirmation,
even if it's correct and there's full confirmation,
what now is the question?
I've got a few.
you and your associates to go to this shelter. What happened?
Thanks for having me, Will. So early this morning, for the first time, a siren sounded
and where I was saying we all rushed to a shelter, that's now happened about seven or
eight times today here in central Israel. The last one, which just occurred a few
moments ago, was followed by a series of boom, sometimes you get hit, which is an interception
of an incoming missile and earlier in the day we heard one or two of such booms but in the last
round we heard over two dozen so it seems that the Iranians have changed their tactics
as the day has gone on from individual or small numbers of missile attacks to at least the last
one being a larger salvo which they've used in the past to try to saturate and penetrate
Israeli air defenses. Do you get a sense that the Iranians and their missile attacks,
their drone attacks are going after specific Israeli military targets or just launching
them to kill people and destroy as much as possible.
It's impossible for me to know from the places I've been able to be today exactly what they're
targeting.
In the past they have put a lot of emphasis on military targets, intelligence targets, but
some civilian targets.
are still buildings destroyed in central Tel Aviv from the war last June.
So and because Israel is a small country and a lot of civilian population lives alongside
various other installations and these missiles are not that accurate, it's entirely possible
that they could shoot for a security target and hit an apartment building or a neighborhood.
So they're probably going to cause as much damage as they can, given the pressure
they're under front, combined U.S. and Israeli strikes that the president knocked this morning.
Yeah, clearly a lot of targets for the Iranians in the Tel Aviv area. And good luck over there.
Just stay safe. What do you think regime change in Iran potentially could look like?
No way. I had to look at a slime. I'm going to be honest with you guys. I don't think we're going to make it.
it. I don't think we're gonna make it at all. I think the American government and the Israeli
government take action for that guy, okay? And that guy is the average guy. They literally
hear that and they go, oh, success. They don't think about like what happens next.
They don't think about what's going on right now, right? Because like if the Israeli government
knows if the Ayatollah is dead, then the Iranian government knows if the Ayatollah is dead.
And they haven't changed. As a matter of fact, they're literally still currently blowing up
American military bases, reducing the fucking rubble in the region and also pummeling Israel.
Okay?
I don't think they, I don't think the average American or the average Westerner has like
The capacity to comprehend what this means as far as like regional action, what this means as far as like destabilization, I think they just literally think, oh, bad guy killed. That's awesome. We did it. Victory Parade now, you know, like they think this is a video game.
They just, they don't think about it beyond that.
Is that what it is?
Like they they they refuse to comprehend what's still currently happening
Cuz it's not like Iran was like oh no you killed the Ayatollah
It's over we are actually giving up on our honor, you know ballistic missiles program right now. It's it's done on
God you slime the Ayatollah. I will now let go
of my weapons I will now stop bombing Israel in retaliation. Is that what you, like, what,
I don't know, I don't know what you what you think is happening in this at this point.
You see a clear path that who might actually take over if there is regime change?
I think this is one of the big question marks hanging over what the president I think also
for a lot of people they literally think that like the Ayatollah has like the power of hypnosis
or something like that people don't independently arrive at the conclusion that like they want
to fight back against Israel and America's bombing campaigns after like the first opening
salvo killed like a bunch of school girls and and and a bunch of civilians like 200 plus civilians
right
Like they think oh well the ayatollah is dead
He had the ghiyas powered to fucking hypnotize the entire Iranian population now that he's dead there
These people are gonna welcome us as liberators or something
Am I wrong for remembering then the 12 day war Iran had the same civilian targets that israel did a day or so later
um
Yes, they did.
But if the I-told is dead then they probably
have a different response package anyway.
Because this time around, they have been much more aggressive
in their retaliation.
Once last night.
First of all, I think many Americans probably
woke up this morning surprised to discover
that we're at war in the Middle East, something the president said he was going to try to avoid.
And he really didn't do very much to prepare the public or discuss with the public what
his strategy was, what the goal is, why it was imminent, and why it was necessary to
take this action now.
He mentioned-
I'm from Iran.
The neighboring city of Tehran.
People are dancing, cheering, and listening in the trees.
Nobody's with Iran.
Stop supporting Islamic savage regime.
Long time fans is 2020.
Oh, we're not going to make it.
It's over.
over brother. Hog brain is complete. Okay. Hey, Hassanabi, I'm, I'm standing, I'm standing
literally in the rubble right now and it's fucking goaded. Okay. You don't understand.
I want more JDAMs. I want more JDAMs. Oh, wait, I'm dead now. I don't think he's joking.
I think that there are, I mean, he's probably not in Iran, but there are people who are
like oh no this is going to be great just like they were there were people in Iraq that were like
I hate Saddam Hussein thank god he's been toppled he's not from Iran he's from south way wood
We're dancing in the streets, bro. I love I hated my grandma. Okay, let me tell you she had bad fucking vibes
filming
What is this
Where is this from only 18% of Iranians in Iran see foreign interventions a path to change 18%
Where is that from study after study shows that while the majority of Iranians don't support the regime even more don't support foreign intervention
We know our own history while we support the ones who created a problem in the first place
Even Gamman the most regime critical survey out there the one that shall supporters themselves site show Iranis in Iran perverse civil protest
31% and strikes 65%
Over foreign intervention 18% as a path to change Iran poll slash Chicago canceled last
2007 Iranis what Iran should do if the US attacks the majority said respond militarily
30% said go to the UN no majority for welcoming it
86 front of Iranis view the US negatively Iran poll 2019 and
and nyak slash you go in twenty twenty five show fifty three percent of iranian americans don't even want for an intervention like not even the majority of
diaspora supports this except if you were to look at my chat it's ninety nine percent of of iranians in tehran and and one hundred and
twenty five percent of iranians in the diaspora that support this unconditionally they're literally aching for it their back walls are
quaking they want it so bad they want to shove a tomahawk missile up their fucking assholes and launch themselves into
direction of their on to kill their own fucking grandparents if that was what if
that was what it would take if you ask the people in my chat tuning in from
fucking Langley okay that's all they want that's all people are demanding
Unk, pace yourselves. It's gonna be a long day. It's already a fucking long day.
We know very well about this.
The longest of days.
It's a nuclear program, ballistic missile program. It's an abuse of its own people and it's sponsorship of terrorism.
But why now?
And it was surprising to me that he laid the predicate that the goal of this is regime change.
Because that is not something that can be done just by airstrikes.
What he said, and he's probably right about this, is that only the Iranian people on the ground are going to be able to overthrow the regime
and replace it with something else, but replace it with what? Most intelligence experts who
you consult with suggest the most likely near-term replacement for the current regime is a military
dictatorship under the... You're telling me that the IRGC had a plan for their 86-year-old
leader to die one day? Yeah. It turns out they are aware of how the passage of time
works. And yes, of course they have a fucking contingency that they already implemented
last time. Okay, the six-way split screen of Al Jazeera showing half of those in regional
capitals on fire should quickly bring home the catastrophic implications of the illegal
stupid and completely unnecessary war. Long time fan from south of Tel Aviv here, people
are dancing, rejoicing, seeing libertarian Iranian missiles strike us. They're doing the come dance.
Like people think also it's so funny because like people think I'm going to be like,
what? The Ayatollah is dead. Oh my god, I love the Ayatollah or something. Like they come in
here to be like, bro, your boy's dead, bro, Ayatollah.
It's like, first of all, I'm not even fucking Shia dumbass.
And secondly, even as a senior Muslim,
like, when have I been a pious man, you know?
Like, what gives you that indication
that I have any sort of like personal connection
to the fucking Ayatollah?
You absolute dumb monkey brain loser.
You fucking stupid Ameroids who think like, oh, whoa.
Obviously, this guy fucking, his name is Lasson.
Muslim obviously fucking loves the Ayatollah personally like I don't you know I only care
about the consequences of the Revolutionary Guard Corps beyond that it's a big question
mark whether there is a sufficiently consolidated opposition whether it could be done peacefully
or democratically whether different splinter groups ethnic or region yeah just wait now
Now that the school that they struck, now that the school that they struck is getting
a little bit of motion in Western news, they'll hit the same lines.
Oh, this was an IRGC missile.
This was a misfired IRGC missile.
And then they'll say, okay, it wasn't a misfired IRGC missile.
It was actually, there was actually a missile munitions stockpile under the school and
we had to blow up the girls on top of it.
You know how it is.
how it always goes. Okay? The U.S. Israel seemed to be pinning a lot of, a lot on Iran's protest
against the regime during or as Trump requested after major military operations have ended.
Anecdotal, but I've seen more videos of Bahraini celebrating strikes than Iranians. Basijis
currently occupy the streets. Even channel 14 in Israel can only scrounge up a single
woman dancing on a street and a couple of boys in a schoolyard. Maybe things will
happen tonight, but I have skepticisms, but I have the skepticisms you have.
Yeah, there are really, really leaning into the Iranian population taking matters into
their own hands.
And if that doesn't happen, if the response doesn't come, or even if it does come, let's
be real, I think they're probably still going to keep up the strikes and escalate its intensity
on Iran.
But if that doesn't happen, they're just going to start directly killing more and
more Iranian civilians, I think.
What a spectacular strategy for the record.
What a spectacular fucking strategy.
YouTube combined 81,000 viewers are people waking up? Are they botting again? No, brother. It's a
fucking massive issue. It's a massively consequential story. Of course, people are just like tuning in to
listen to what I have to say. Yes, the Piker Broadcasting Service is alive and well.
For you, the viewers, by you, the viewers, subscribe to the Piker Broadcasting Service
If you would like to support the broadcast
Twitter claims your dog died. What is this?
Streamer's on pikers dog. Kai has died at age three after an apparent accident home. The cause of death has not been publicly confirmed
Yeah, no, it's because all the fucking zionist hasbra dick writers
That are too afraid to openly say they want to suck israel's cock as hard as they possibly can until
The the cummies impregnate them with the future of the the israeli population
and they have to go and be like, oh, it's memes.
Hasan is so mad.
He's like zapping Kaia or whatever.
That's it.
That's what this is.
I saw another one of those guys on the timeline
being like, oh God, Hasan is gonna punish Kaia so hard.
They have to create this fucking narrative
that like one, I'm really, really fucking upset
at my best friend, the Ayatollah and his passing.
And then two, I'm actually punishing my dog Kaia for it.
Um, it's just a way to, it's basically just a way to not say that you want to eat Israel's dick to the best of your ability.
Did your dog really die? No, what are you fucking stupid? Of course not. The fuck is wrong with you?
You do seem upset to be honest. Yeah, I wonder why I would be upset about multiple billions of dollars in assets being used
to to destroy a foreign nation at the behest of Israel another foreign nation
Rather than I don't know use it on American soil for American hospitals and American education
I wonder why as an anti-imperialist I would have
You know some opinions on this that are negative
You should ask yourself why you think this is good
good. You shouldn't wait until the gas prices go through the fucking roof for you to go
What is happening?
Dumbass.
Pathetic.
Selfish.
Idiotic.
Ignorant.
Go to the side.
Go to the side.
Go.
Oh my God!
That guy is speaking Urdu, it's Qatar bro.
They have a massive Indian population, Indian residents.
They have a massive immigrant population, much larger than the national, the Qatari
national population.
Just as the strikes began, President Trump posted this message on social media.
A short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran.
Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian
regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people.
menacing activities directly in danger, the United States, our troops, our bases overseas,
and our allies throughout the world.
For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted death to America and waged an unending campaign
of bloodshed and mass murder, targeting the United States, our troops, and the innocent
people in many, many countries.
Among the regime's very first acts was to back a violent takeover of the U.S. Embassy
in Tehran, holding dozens of American hostages for 444 days.
In 1983, Iran's proxies carried out the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut that killed 241
American military personnel.
Yeah, I wonder why they say death to America over there.
I just can't, I just can't seem to seemingly wrap my head around it.
It's just like so strange.
We're so nice.
2000 they knew and were probably involved with the attack on the U.S. as coal.
Many died.
Senior Trump administration officials say the US had indicators that Iran intended to strike preemptively and Trump decided not to let US forces absorb missile attacks.
Okay, dude.
Yeah, right.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
They didn't even fucking say it ahead of time, too.
Sure, bud.
Iranian forces killed and maimed hundreds of American service members in Iraq.
The regime's proxy.
I can't deal with the stupidity of the average fucking hog, too, like I just I can't
I can't deal with the stupidity of the average american that looks at this and goes hell yeah
brother like we fucking did that shit like oh chest-tumping like
jingoistic sentiment
Just like thinking that this is beneficial for their lives in any way shape or form like yeah, he did it for me brother
Oh, I'm so fucking tired, dude, is have continued to launch countless attacks against what you
can't send links unless you're sub. Can you check logs if you want to got timed out? Yes.
If you would like to send me links, you have to be a subscriber to the Hassanabe broadcast.
There's a lot less of that than we'd seen previously though. Yeah, even in my chat,
which normally a lot of bad faith actors and malicious actors would come into in a moment like this
We've we've rarely seen people be like, oh, I bet you're fucking mad right now libtard
your favorite liberal beacon of
Leftist values diatola is dead
Like it's not
There is definitely a very limited amount of people saying dumb fucking bullshit like that
I think most people understand that we're doing this for Israel, and they don't really fuck with Israel, and they don't really like it.
And before people say, Hassan, don't you believe saying this is Israel's war as anti-Semitic? I'm going to stop you right there, okay?
This is 100 percent, 100 percent Israel's design.
If you think that it's not the case, you're a fucking idiot, okay?
I don't give a shit how it sounds.
This is outside of America's scope.
America would love to destabilize Iran as well, make no mistake.
America would love to take over Iran if given the opportunity.
This violent military action is one million percent Israel's design for the longest fucking
time.
Lemme pay out Hassan's seething.
That's awesome.
Hassan, you're seething.
Me on the other hand, I love putting American assets in the region and I love spending
billions if not trillions of dollars defending Israel and blowing up Israel's enemies,
I love it me. I love it you seething me Chad
Me Zionist Chad doesn't deserve health care at all me cattle you stupid fucking Islamist I
Love being cattle. I love being a slave to capital. It is my favorite thing
Look at how low court is all I am in this very moment. Okay. You want the other hand fuck is stupid
seething angry angry that angry that the United States of America is constantly telling Americans
we don't have enough money for health care. We don't have enough money for education. We don't
have enough money for job prospects. We don't have enough money for housing. We only have
money for Israel me I say am Israel hi I'm a chat what do you got to say to that
dude 91 you're fucking my age dude or 91 if you're not angry at this point you
literally are a slave okay if you're not angry at this point you have surf
mindset brother. You're a god damn peasant. How the fuck are you not angry?
But how do you wear it on your, how do you wear it on your fucking sleeve like that? Where
you're like nah, this shit dude injected directly into my veins. I would love.

I fucking
All the grand design of the world
All the violence, all the bloodshed
And uh, you know, me never getting
My surplus labor value back
In return for all the work I put in
So my boss can be a fucking
Wealthy demon
That's awesome, I love being led by the
Epstein pedophilic cabal
It's my favorite
Is that your take?
Is that how you arrive at American sovereignty?
American prosperity? Is that how you get to be
first. That what it is. We're Epstein maxing in this bitch. That's what you got. Somewhere
out there. Someone's getting dominated with American force projection and that makes me
feel good.
American forces stationed in the Middle East and recent years as well as US naval and
commercial vessels and international shipping lands.
It's been mass terror, and we're not going to put up with it any longer.
From Lebanon to Yemen and Syria to Iraq, the regime has armed, trained, and funded terrorist
militias that have soaked the earth with blood and guts.
And it was Iran's proxy Hamas that launched the monstrous October 7th attacks on Israel
slaughtering more than 1,000 innocent people, including 46 Americans, while taking 12 of
our citizens hostage. It was brutal. Something like the world has never seen before. Iran is
the world's number one state sponsor of terror and just recently killed tens of thousands of
its own citizens on the street as they protested. It has always been the policy of the United
states, in particular, my administration, that this terrorist regime can never have
a nuclear weapon. I'll say it again, they can never have a nuclear weapon. That is why,
in Operation Midnight Hammer last June, we obliterated the regime's nuclear program
at Fordot, Natanz, and Isfahan.
After that attack, we warned them never to resume their malicious pursuit of nuclear weapons,
and we sought repeatedly to make a deal.
We tried.
They wanted to do it.
They didn't want to do it.
Again, they wanted to do it.
They didn't want to do it.
They didn't know what was happening.
They just wanted to practice evil.
Iran refused just as it has for decades and decades. They've rejected every opportunity
to renounce their nuclear ambitions, and we can't take it anymore. Instead, they attempted
to rebuild their nuclear program and to continue to...
It's pretty crazy that he openly fucking says, you know, America's soldiers are
going to die and the Iranian public is going to be hurt by this too.
It's fucking crazy, like saying the quiet part out loud.
But again, with the full knowledge that we are cattle, we won't do anything about it.
You know what I mean?
Here's CNN.
Let's tune in live to CNN reporting on Khomeini's demise.
Speculation as to just how far, one, the U.S. is willing to go, but Israel as well, if they
were striking together.
And now we know they were willing to go as far as taking out Iran's most senior leader.
Now, we had reported earlier that he was not the only target of these strikes, that
other senior military and other leaders in Iran were targeted.
We don't know their status at this point, but as we reported earlier in the day, Israeli
officials were becoming more confident over time today that they had hit at least some
of their targets.
Listen, in Iran, does that mean that suddenly there will be a new government, a new leader,
one friendlier to the U.S.?
No.
An enormous network and structure of leadership and power remains in that country, military,
economic, political, and otherwise,
but to take out the Supreme Leader
is a significant, significant change.
And of course, the question is,
how far does that change go?
Does it weaken the government to the degree
that the government collapses?
Does it weaken it to a degree that the protesters
that we saw take on this government quite bravely
in recent weeks are inspired
to go out into the streets again, right?
I mean, that's what President Trump
was encouraging them to do explicitly
in a statement this morning. Now, that's quite a risky proposition given that that government
retains enormous power and they showed they were willing to use it to deadly extent. In
the many thousands of protesters that they killed in recent weeks, those are still the
open questions. But we have one question answered. Was Israel willing to go so far as to take
out the supreme leader of Iran? And the answer is yes. And they had success doing
so.
And now the big question is, what comes next? Jim, should I stand by? I want to bring in
Barak Ravici, an political global affairs analyst. He's also a global affairs correspondent
at Axios.
Barak, I know you spoke with President Trump earlier today. Again, if you are just joining
us, our breaking news is that Iran's Supreme Leader has been killed in these strikes
that is coming from Israeli sources. Barak, we're still waiting to hear from the president
from the U.S. government, but the Israeli sources confirming that.
What more are you learning?
What did the president tell you?
So first, just about Khamenei, I think around 30, 40 minutes ago, the Israeli ambassador
to Washington, Yehiel Eiter, updated several U.S. officials and members of Congress
that Israeli intelligence shows that Khamenei has been killed and his body was taken out
of the rubble in the compound in Tehran that was attacked.
I spoke to President Trump a little bit after, before 1 p.m. while he was in Mar-a-Lago.
We spoke for around five minutes.
The President sounded to me at least.
Well, you and your community ignore me.
I'm going to come and confident.
I don't know.
Chatter are going according to plan.
World changing incidents are taking place.
Don't you think the situation would come in?
I was one of the main things was tracking at that moment.
And what was interesting in the in what he told me is
that he was talk.
I asked him, how long is this going to continue?
And he said, I have several off ramps.
I can go long and take the whole thing, meaning take over Iran, something that, you know, I
don't think that that's something that is seriously being considered.
That's quite a statement.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or I can go on for another two or three days and then tell the Iranians, we'll see you
again in a few years if you try and rebuild your nuclear program, your missile program,
that Donald Trump, at least my impression from the conversation with him, is that he's looking to end this thing within a few days
and basically put an ultimatum to the Iranians, we can get a deal, or you can try and rebuild your program and then we'll just bomb you again if you try to do this.
And I think that was one of the messages that U.S. officials that just briefed reporters I think 10
minutes ago said that when the 12-day war ended after Operation Midnight Hammer, the U.S. told
Iran, if you try to rebuild, we will come again. And those U.S. officials said that the Iranians,
according to U.S. intelligence, did try and rebuild the program.
So we know from satellite imagery that the Iranians started infrastructure work in several
of the nuclear sites that were attacked in June.
We do not know whether they really tried to resume a nuclear program, meaning enrichment
and other activities.
One of the interesting things I heard from President Trump is that he told me that
he thinks that Operation Midnight Hammer allowed Operation Epic Fury to go for, because President
Trump claimed that if he did not go on that operation last June, if he did not order
a strike on those three nuclear facilities, Iran would have been much, much closer to
a nuclear weapon, maybe even have a nuclear weapon by now, according to what President
Trump said, and that would make the current operation much harder, maybe even impossible.
We just have to say, the Iranians were very close.
By the way, for YouTube, like the YouTube stream, or the YouTube chat, like the YouTube
stream and interact with it, please, in order to boost its visibility, because I feel
like putting Israel and strike on Iran in the name of the YouTube stream is probably
not helping with the visibility in general.
So hit that like button, hit the subscription or yeah, subscribe to the YouTube page.
Don't forget to do that.
More soundboard.
What would I be doing if I was in Iran?
i don't know if looking dying i guess i need to go
did not really need
the minimum the u.s. was willing to go
brock i also want to ask you about these these strikes and and the strikes this
morning that ultimately
killed iran's supreme leader
what more do we know about them uh... the other mountain you you have to
think and there has to have been
incredible intelligence that went into knowing where he was the fact that
these strikes happened in the daylight when normally uh... when the u.s.
has struck it has been at nighttime.
Do you know any more about the context around the actual strikes themselves?
So I think one of the reasons that the strike was in daylight is because it was part of the
on the on the one hand was part of the deception the Iranians I guess thought the strike would
be during the night as it's been last June but also because these Israeli officials
say that they had intelligence that at that time of day, morning time in Iran, there has
been three different gatherings of senior Iranian officials in three different places.
And that was a window of opportunity, a operational window, that the Israelis could try and conduct
strikes on those three gatherings and try and take out, eliminate many, many top political
and military officials in Iran, one of them the Supreme Leader.
By the way, these rallies assess that they managed to take out the commander of the
Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, that they managed to take out the commander of
the Iranian Armed Forces, that they managed to take out the Iranian Minister of Defense,
They managed to take out the head of the Iranian intelligence and numerous other officials.
And what is amazing to me is that this is exactly how the 12-day war started in an opening strike
that decapitated so many Iranian officials.
And eight months later, it seems that the Iranians literally learned nothing and conducted
themselves in a way that A, allowed the Israelis to know where they are and B, allowed the Israelis
to hit them, meaning that they were not deep enough underground.
All right.
Great reporting from Barak Ravid.
Please stand by.
I do want to go to the White House now where our senior White House correspondent, Kristen
Holmes, is standing by.
Kristen, again, for people who are following along, just joining us, we are hearing
from Israeli sources.
They are confirming that Iran's Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah, has been killed in these strikes
this morning, joint strikes by the U.S. and Israel together.
We are still waiting to hear from President Trump, from the U.S. on this.
What more are you hearing from people you're talking to in the administration, in the
White House?
Yeah, I was asking about this just moments ago.
They said they weren't ready to comment on it just yet.
That could also mean that President Trump himself may be gearing up to...
Trump is confirming to the NBC that reports of Khamenei's death.
We feel that is a correct story.
Once again, there is, as I said early on in the day when Israel first said Khamenei was
dead that Israel usually when it comes to high profile assassinations like this are
correct more often than they're wrong.
Okay.
Even if Trump is not fully on board with the confirmation, it still doesn't matter.
Okay. You only believe that this will collapse the system if you believe the bullshit that
the American government was pumping up from the get-go. That like once the Ayatollah is dead,
all of a sudden everything falls apart. As though like the Ayatollah himself has placed a
hypnosis beam on the entire Shia population all around the region and certainly on the entire
Iranian population. Like, these guys are not getting the W that they want to get right now,
but they're trying to fucking farm it to the best of their ability to be like,
well, we told you that if the Ayatollah dies, then the Iranians are going to take over,
and the regime is going to collapse in and of itself. This, as we have said over and over
again, is a failure. Is a failure to understand what the Iranian governance structure actually
looks like okay the idea that they don't have a contingency plan the idea that
there is no like day after planned that they have for a decapitation strike
against the Ayatollah who is 87 years old 87 if you think that the fucking
Iranian government didn't think that an 87 year old guy was gonna die any
fucking moment from a goddamn light breeze you're a fucking moron like
What are we talking about? He was 87!
At that point, at that point he might die going up the fucking stairs like you know what I mean?
What are you saying?
Yeah, he was 87. Didn't look a day over 86 too.
it's so ridiculous it comes from this orientalist perspective that these guys
are actually fucking barbarians right this is a barbaric nation that is like
that is it in the mercy at the mercy of one singular individual there is no
contingency plan there's no governor structure there's no horizontal
administrative apparatus that is capable of running the show in the very likely scenario
that the fucking Ayatollah dies, even if not in the hands of Israeli and American airstrikes,
but simply because he sneezed too fucking hard.
What are we doing?
Yes, the IDS spokesperson and Emmanuel Fabian also confirms they kill several members of
Iran's security leadership, including top defense official Ali Shamqani and the commander of
the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Once again, they're still pummeling Israel.
Like what do you think?
Like does this not directly defy the expectations that these guys set for what happens?
I don't understand it like people people literally were like oh, they're just gonna do a fucking decapitation strike
It's over from that point on all the Iranians are gonna be like oh, we love being gay and and you know
We're we're throwing our veils on the streets and you know, we're waving the flag. It's over. We're we're Persian now
We're not even Iranian like is that what if that was what was supposed to happen. It's not happening
It's not happening at all
What happens to the popular, the, like the actual popular base that the, the, Ayatollah
has?
Like what happens to the 20% of the population that actually liked the guy?
You know, there's, let's say 80% of the population doesn't like the guy, 20% likes
the guy.
That's still a lot of fucking people.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, if you want to see who's actually celebrating, here you go.
You couldn't hold control over Iraq or Afghanistan. Iran is nearly four times as large. You don't
have the troops for this. No 9-11 to boost the ranks. I know. That's why, that's why a lot
of people got offended when I said, if there's another, if there's ever like a, like a, you
know, I said, if there was any kind of, uh, any kind of like terror attack on us soil,
Uh, it will be very difficult to convince myself and many Americans, millions of Americans
that it was, it had nothing to do, uh, with, with America and Israel's design, okay?
And people got real mad about that.
They got real mad.
I said earlier, Jamal Buoy of New York Times got real fucking mad about that.
I said, if there's any terrorism in air quotes, if there's any terrorism in air quotes
that happens on US soil now, you will never be able to convince me nor millions of other
Americans that it wasn't Israel and America conducting it together to rally the masses
to support an insanely unpopular war.
overtake is a filter in some ways. Yes.
Kai from her albous. She's literally living LaVita Loka right now.
She's literally living LaVita Loka at the park.
Having the time of her life,
not a care in the world has no idea what's going on.
He deleted that repost. By the way, everyone blow up on him. Law.
Like, this isn't even awesome. 9-11 was an Israeli option either for the record. Like,
I'm not even saying that here. I think like people want to make it seem like I'm saying
that. Okay. But I have long maintained the position that America does not have the popular
support for another global war on terror, especially in the aftermath of the global
war on terror. What kick started, the increase in the ranks and the reason as to why so many
people joined the military, joined the armed forces was because of 9-11. A lot of people
were like, oh, there it is like fucking 9-11. We got to go punish people. We got to go
punish people overseas. We got to do something. It was a vengeance quest, right? A lot of
people joined.
Ever since then, obviously the draft has been relying heavily on the poverty draft.
So in the absence of another 9-11 style attack or like some major fucking incident, I don't
think America's gonna join the ranks of the armed forces to go and defend Israel, okay?
I just don't think that's happening.
The war itself is unpopular.
Israel itself is unpopular.
Most people see this as Israel's war.
America's waging Israel's war at their behest as always.
It doesn't fucking matter.
You can't be like, oh, they killed Ayatollah.
Like this is gonna get all the support in the world.
No one gives a shit, you know?
Call them the ones that they replace.
But good luck.
Pay extra mind to those who offered unlimited support to the Epstein class and Donald Trump
and his defenses of Epstein, his defense of his butt buddies that were all over the
fucking Epstein files.
Pay close attention to how they try to package this incredibly and unimaginably
unpopular war.
that I mean the likes of asman gold who will try to fucking massage the narrative to be like well yeah
yeah I mean I mean we're fucking dominating Iran yeah it's based just make just make sure you
understand anyone that comes at you with this and doesn't openly state that this is very clearly
Israel's design it's very clearly uniparty for the democratic parties leadership they wanted this
to happen and that's the reason why they're not presenting a strong enough response to it
knowing full well that it was going to happen
pay close attention to the ways in which people try to package this okay
a close attention to the ways in which people try to defend it
restoration is as we're getting this news
the supreme uh...
leader has been killed
clearly uh... just because the president has chosen his most
uh... aggressive action here which is seeking regime change and he made that
pretty clear during his during his brief eight minute video that he released on
true social. What he didn't explain was the mechanism of getting from the
military action that Cedric has just walked us through to the political
reality of what a regime change would look like because as Cedric just
suggested you can get all kinds of regime change and some of it can be
worse than what it is that you just departed from. So, if in fact the supreme leader has been
killed, if in fact a good number of the leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps there,
most elite military have been killed, the first question is who are the successors there?
And the second is what is the mechanism for the people of Iran to pick up on this chaos,
rise up as the president suggested and install in government and they're without arms, they're
without organization, the government still has that, the military still has that, and we haven't
heard a plan yet from the U.S. for how they would get over that particular hurdle.
And that is so key right now as we move to the next phase of this, which is what comes
next after the Ayatollah has been confirmed dead.
Okay, so now who is going to fill that void?
And to your point, David, in talking with a number of people, you know, how might the
Iranian people who, you know, just in the last few months have suffered to be in the
streets to demand their freedom to, who have been protesting and being killed for
it?
But how might those people who, as you note, aren't armed, aren't trained, aren't
necessarily organized in that way, take their government.
And is there any thinking from the Trump administration
about how to support that piece of it
besides the military part?
Well, one hopes that there has been thinking about this.
Secretary Rubio was asked about this
in a Senate hearing back in January,
and he said, well, if there was regime change,
that's an issue we'd have to think about
for a long time.
Well, fact of the matter is,
People in the United States government have been thinking about this for 40 years in various
forms.
So clearly the Iranians have a succession plan.
The supreme leader is 86 years old and so they needed a succession plan anyway and
he was not in good health.
The question is what that plan looks like and whether the U.S. and the Iranian
people can knock them off that plan.
And that's really the hard and difficult part here.
I think it's also worth remembering that this was, despite the administration's efforts
to sound like there was very urgent reason to go do this, the timing of this was a war
of choice for the administration.
That is to say, there was no urgency of an attack from Iran, as Barak Ravid mentioned
to you that further from a nuclear weapon than they had been in June after those strikes.
So the question is, did the president pick the right moment?
And he might say there's never a wrong moment to change the government in Iran.
Right.
Because Kristen Holmes, as you noted, had reported that the White House is saying
that they were concerned about these preemptive strikes, in their words, that Iran might
be taking.
yet there is reporting that is counter to that.
But they are going to be asked,
the administration, why now?
That is a question that continues to come up again
and again and again, especially as they were in town.
It did come up in a background briefing,
I'm sorry, it did come up in a background briefing
that some administration officials gave,
but didn't provide any evidence of an imminent strike.
Yeah, yeah, right, right.
But yes, exactly.
that is their their explanation at the time but of course as you know time will
tell the evidence you know we will need to see as well all right David Sanger
thank you so much it is great to have you as always I want to bring in New
Jersey Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer he's also thanks for being here
I hate this fucking bullshit.
Oh, I hate this fucking shit.
Dude, how is CNN supposed to be more pro-Israel than this?
How is CNN supposed to be more pro-Israel than this?
They have fucking Josh Gottheimer on.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Josh Gottheimer is literally one of the only fucking
congresspersons on the Democratic Party side
that straight up was like alongside the other dipshit
in fucking Florida saying,
of course we gotta go to war with Iran.
How is CNN supposed to be more pro-Israel than this?
This is basically Fox News.
But the fact that Iran has turned around and attacked so many of our allies in the region
It's also not to be something that we should take lightly as we look at this
You know in terms of attacks
Put Randy Fine on CNN just cut to the fucking chase cut through the noise put Randy Fine on to literally
Suck Benjamin and Yaw's cock on television. Just do the pornography do us the dignity
We know we get it
fuck
Is a and has been the government a
Existential threat to the United States we've seen both inter Rock ravied
The panel is comprised initially of
Apex very on Wolf Blitzer then they bring on Barack ravied then they bring on
Fucking Josh got Heimer. Where is Alan Dershowitz? I say where is Benjamin Danielle just have Benjamin Danielle on?
He was like who starts on live stream in Tel Aviv
Could they do it or what?
Where is it?
Oh shit.
No, those are
interceptors. Oh!
Oh shit!
Oh shit! Oh fuck.
Oh, is this new is this happening already like this? Oh shit. Oh, they cut across
All right, we're gonna and you're starting to see some activity there again for the right of your screen now
Okay, so 1039 they're in Tel Aviv
Just a few minutes after we reported Israeli sources
by the U.S. and Iran did in fact kill the supreme leader of Iran.
And there were questions about what we might see after this news and throughout the night
in Israel.
I do want to bring in Cedric Layton who is standing by.
And Cedric, obviously, Israel has the Iron Dome.
They work to intercept these missiles that are coming toward Tel Aviv right now, but
help people understand what we're looking at on our screen.
Yeah, so Jessica, what you're seeing is a panoply of different aspects here.
So the Israeli air defense system, the missile defense system, is composed of
basically three layers. One of them is the famous iron dome. That is basically
takes care of short-range missile threats, also drones, threats of that
type, in some cases even artillery shells. You go up then to the David Sling system,
that David Sling system is a system that takes care of medium level threats,
medium range threats. So that could include some of the missiles that come
into the Israeli airspace from places like Iran, also places like Lebanon where
Hezbollah was very important as an Iranian proxy. And then you have the
Aero system. And the Aero system is the one that we're probably seeing most
stuff because that takes care of the longest range missiles so every time you
see a flash in the sky what you're looking at is the point where the the
aero missile or one of the other air defense missiles is actually
intercepting an incoming missile. Some of these missiles go in and they do
what's called a proximity hit so in other words they don't actually
directly hit the the actual incoming missile but others go in and directly
hit that missile. It depends on which system you're using. But the basic idea is if the
target is perceived to be a populated area or an important building, then the Israeli
air defense system is brought into play and it actually takes out that missile. And if
the trajectory of the missile shows that it's going into an unpopulated area there,
you see a flash right there. That was probably a big hit where the missile was intercepted.
see pieces are fall. You are weird for liking this. Did you not see me go like this? Very
bad. Mmm. Did you not see me do that? Very, very bad. I'm shaking my head. I'm SMH. I'm
SMH I'm I'm finger wagging
When I hear massive explosions sounding in central Tel Aviv I go not good
You know
Bro the fucking fact that they have a ISFAH on missile site
Camera is crazy. How is that? We just saw a missile
What the fuck is this intel cam man? Is that real?
Medic's and security forces are responding to reports of a ballistic missile impact in central Israel.
What? But, but it just doesn't make sense. They have the aero systems.
I thought, I thought Israel would know that, that things are safe and sound because we don't have healthcare.
Israel go and find out today why we don't have health care, you know, that type of shit.
That.
What is happening?
Because I think you hear it immediately, you think, oh, did it hit something?
But oftentimes it's the missile itself being stopped.
Israel has help here.
That's right.
It's the missile itself.
So there's a missile that is going fast to intercept the incoming missile or the incoming
drone.
You can hear a sonic boom potentially from that, or you can hear potentially the impact
if the missile system is one which is designed, like David Sling, for example, to actually
hit the incoming missile, then in that particular case, you may also hear the
boom of the impact.
speaking, there's a possibility also of an explosion happening because there are proximity
fuses on these weapons systems and when they explode on impact that then is designed to
destroy the incoming missiles.
Alright, at Colonel Lane I want you to please, please stand by.
I do want to bring in Jim Shudeau who is watching this live with us as well as we
see these strikes in Tel Aviv, the sirens sounding.
Jim, what more are you learning and as you're watching this?
What's going through your mind?
Well, listen, I've been on the roof of the hotel
there in Tel Aviv in the midst of Iranian ballistic missile
strikes.
Oh, you see that boom in the lower right-hand corner there?
That this was last year in response to Israeli attacks
on Iran.
Iran has the capability to strike Israel.
Israel has very formidable air defenses
at multiple levels.
And I believe that's what you're seeing right now,
those flashers off in the distance, most likely intercepts, but aware of that, Iran often
launches their missiles and drones in waves intended to overwhelm Israel's air defense systems.
Now I should note that part of the enormous U.S. and there's an air raid siren there,
part of the enormous U.S. military presence in the region, mobilized to the region,
expressly to provide air defense additional air defense not just for
Israel but for other allies in the region and what I think we're seeing
American bases are basically American bases on on foreign soil outside of
Israel have basically cratered at this point so I don't think it's actually
for all of our allies let's be fucking real I think it's more so just for
Israel don't have to be clear
an impact is good that means you've taken up the missile in the way and but
that debris still has to come to the ground right when it comes to the ground
it can still be deadly in there but a number of instances of that
last year in the midst of it iranian strikes on israel
and i believe there were reports earlier today of someone in israel being
sure it was going impact
by following the breeze so
the danger does not go to appear after a successful intercept
uh... but of course
far better to intercept the missile in the air than allowed to strike its target on the
ground.
What is this?
Again, Israel has the norm.
Sorry.
Guys, I feel lied to.
I feel lied to, I thought, but the ayatollah is dead and therefore Iran was going to wave
the white flag and that like they would never retaliate.
It was over, right?
The regime collapsed shortly thereafter.
I'm still seeing videos of impact.
I think that's what the calculation now is.
Regime, regime.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
I think that's what the calculation.
How is that possible?
Regime, regime preservation.
Could you get a more pragmatic figure?
Shock.
This is the mission accomplished, I thought.
What's happening?
What's hap- I feel, I feel duped.
Every time you see an impact, that's actually the iron dome working
Hmm
It's just confusing to me is all I I've been told by all of the
intelligent smart well educated
Individuals that are on the Israeli payroll mind you on
on virtually every media outlet that this should not be happening at all.
Sorry, do you know this regime? Sure.
Aaron, I just want to break in for a moment because we're looking at live pictures in the air over Tel Aviv.
And obviously, as many people know or maybe don't know, there is an iron dome that is really used as its missile defense system.
I'm hearing reports that Ahmed Segal is no longer dancing, it gives me no pleasure to
report that Ahmed Segal is no longer dancing. It seems that the death of the Ayatollah has
not actually led to the collapse of the regime as previously planned. Let's take a look,
impact. That's that's mmm. Mmm. Once again. This is mmm. Mmm. I just, you know, let's let's
Let's get a better look. I couldn't tell what happened there.
I just, I feel duped. I don't know if you guys feel duped, but I personally, I'm, you know, I'm Israel high. I'm Israel high. I'm Israel high.
I want to repeat that over and over again.
I think Israel, every morning that I wake up
for being the most prosperous, joyful nation
that has ever existed, the only democracy in the world,
Iran's second wave, it seems,
is coming in extra strong.
In addition to Israel,
explosions of interceptors have been reported
in the last few minutes over US business in Bahrain,
Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE.
I just, I don't know, I don't know how to make of, I don't know what I'm seeing.
I feel like I'm, my eyes should not be seeing this.
I feel like my eyes are behaving in an anti-semitic manner for seeing this.
I am going to continue with my reporting from the glorious nation of Israel
at the heart of Tel Aviv, tuning in live, telling you, of course,
that everything is fine and that the Iranian missiles are actually anti-semitically targeting
Israel and that Iran is anti-semitically defending itself, which once again is anti-semitic.
I want to stress that as many times as I possibly can, this is anti-semitism.
The Associated Press is live showcasing once again the ballistic missiles coming from
the Iranian direction striking at the heart of Tel Aviv in the most anti-semitic manner.
It's unacceptable and anti-semitic. Iran does not have a right to defend itself. Israel has
a right to defend itself. And what that defense means is offense. That's the best defense,
is a strong offense. Let's be real. Barry Wise is going nutty. What the fuck is this?
Mr. Ramdani, you are more than welcome to come to one of my safehouses. Masih Ali Nejad,
who is targeted for the assassination by the Iranian regime at a Brooklyn home, responded
to a statement released by New York. Oh, okay. I don't really care about this lady. Can you
add Udrub Udrub Tel Aviv to the soundboard? I'm not trying to get fucking literally
drone-striked. So, no, I will not be doing that. Yeah, we saw the one live on NBC,
But here, let's watch it one more time again.
This is, I just, Trump is asked by NBC, who will replace her on Supreme Leader Ayatollah
al-Khamenei and says, I don't know, but at some point they'll be calling me to ask
who I'd like.
He added, I'm only being a little sarcastic when I say that.
Interesting.
This missile is very anti-semitic.
Oh, yeah, we saw this earlier.
This is at Al-Odeid in Clutter.
In 10 minutes I will have Rokana on to talk about the Democratic Party's response and
lack of response.
Israeli air defense system which is basically designed to protect against these kinds of
missiles but it can't do it all alone and especially when it gets overwhelmed by these
kinds of things the AGIS systems, the AGIS radar systems that are based on the ships
that are part of the carrier strike group.
What's the point then if they don't think it'll actually topple the regime?
What do you mean?
The point is to try to destabilize Iran so that they can't do this.
they're doing right now they don't want Iran to do. That's the whole point. And they're
going to keep pummeling Iran. Once this barrage is done, they will literally continue pummeling
Iran. And then if Iran ups the ante, if Iran starts striking American carriers in the
region, for example, then they'll respond by upping the ante on their own. I don't
I mean, look, man, I, who knows where this goes?
I will say Israel is a nuclear armed nation and is utterly psychotic.
But for us here in the United States of America, we get to watch our tax dollars light on fucking
fire.
So even from a selfish perspective, even from the perspective of a selfish American who
who doesn't give a shit about like the lives that are being destroyed in the process.
MDA images were the scene of an Iranian ballistic missile impact in Israel in central Israel
a short while ago. God damn. Amit Sehgal is mad at Palestinians who are celebrating
in Iran. They sell the dictator in the Palestinian city of Nablus. They celebrate the firing
of rockets at Israel. Oh God, you're a fucking bitch, dude. I wonder why they're celebrating.
the fuck up? Is it America supposed to be defending Israel? What was the point of bringing
in those carriers, brother? I don't know how to explain this to you. We are doing that
right now. We are defending them. It's just that the Iranian missile technology is is overcoming
the unlimited billions of defense that we have dumped into Israel. So
if you think that like, like every impact, I need you to understand something, every impact
fact that Iran has right now inside of the Israeli boundaries means that all of the American
defense and all of the Israeli missile technology, the anti-missile defense systems is failing.
They are not allowing these missiles to penetrate the aero systems or the iron dome or any
number of different, like, THAAD missile launchers that we have, that we placed inside a Tel Aviv,
it's just, it's happening, but it's not supposed to be happening. It means that all of the additional
carrier strike groups that we sent to the region, all of the extra anti-defense systems that
we have in the region with our naval assets are failing. They're failing to stop Iranian
ballistic missiles. What is this? Your op Kira has was finally revealed. That's not real.
There's no shot. That's real. Popular user Kira won't miss home security because you want
I don't know why I don't think this is real because I think Kira won't miss is actually a white man.
It's fake.
Kira is not a black man. He is a white man.
That would be more believable if he was, if the fake image was a white man that looked exactly like that.
Dude this hit is really clear and nuts. Yeah, I already watched it. You're sending me the same one over and over again.
Oh, don't worry.
Don't worry.
I have this in the tank.
The fucking official Israel war room account is throwing up Zoram and Donnie fucking memes at me
Hosey new video on Washington crossing our relevant right now. This is it exists if the levity is needed what levity
We're getting some of that, don't worry.
The big facility to do this, with the amount of enriched uranium, the 60% of enriched uranium,
and they have, oh, let's see, is about 600 pounds worth of that uranium, 420 kilograms
of that uranium.
That's enough material for 10 nuclear devices, and it would only take a few hundred centrifuges.
They have thousands of centrifuges originally.
We don't know where the centrifuges are.
We don't know whether in which uranium is still a risk, still a danger.
All right, so certainly more to come.
Joe, thank you so much for your analysis there.
We really appreciate it.
New Trump quotes on ABC.
New President Trump just told me he believes the Supreme Leader is dead.
When I asked the Supreme Leader is dead, the President said, we believe so.
I asked him, if he knew definitively, I don't want to say anything definitively
until I see things.
But we believe he is.
And much of their leaders are gone, not only from the one side, but two other
size that we attacked also. He had great intelligence. We had great intelligence, and so we think
much of the leadership is gone.
There is going to come a moment where Donald Trump also realizes, but he's an idiot, so
it's going to take a while, but he's going to realize that the Israeli intelligence
was lying, not on the Ayatollah's demise, okay? But certainly lying about, uh, like
the day after plan. Okay? That's what's so remarkable about the situation, because although
he is basically a fucking servant of Miriam Adelson, there is going to come a point where
he realizes, oh shit, the Israeli intelligence is just constantly serving me up this fucking
bullshit. He kind of came to that recognition in the 12-day war, because that's why they
They stopped it because he was like, you guys told me that you were taking care of the missile silos and now everyone's yelling at me, okay?
Like, you told me that this was going to be a Maduro style situation potentially.
My own intelligence is telling me that's not the case.
I believe you because, you know, I'm Israel high, but I'm looking at a bunch of fucking craters in Tel Aviv and it hasn't really stopped.
really stop. I'm looking at a bunch of craters in fucking Bahrain in Qatar in the UAE and it hasn't
let up at all. They just keep pummeling all of these other American base in the region. I now have
instability in Iraq. Where are we going? Where the fuck are we going? What's happening here?
You think Saudi is questioning as the line is not right now? No, they're not.
Post-war hand-wringing has always been liberal ornamentation. It was with Iraq,
another war, apple bomb started, and it is here. The point is to destroy military,
independent, or U.S. Israeli hegemony. What follows is irrelevant. Fragmented,
chaotic and sectarian all the better. Yes. The goal is collapse. The goal is complete
destabilization. The goal is anarchy. The goal is to defang all of the instruments of defense
that sovereign nations have. It is the sovereignty of nations that is the problem here. And they
want to destroy that sovereignty. And if they can't destroy that sovereignty, they at least
want to diminish their capabilities. Okay, that's it. That's it. Where's Russia and China and all
this? Don't even get me fucking started on Russia and China and all of this. Okay. They're probably
kicking back, feeding the air, giggling like school girls. Okay. That's what they're doing.
They're like, oh, it's awesome.
China is helping with surveillance.
They are doing that.
And Russia has helped with defense as well.
And China has helped a little bit with defense as well.
There's certainly a lot more that they could be doing,
though, in my opinion.
China hasn't traded in 12 hours. They're going to die. Okay. Yeah. No one is thinking about China's need for trade maxing here. And I think it's kind of fucked up. I'll be honest.
honest.
Rokana is about to be on the broadcast, by the way, ladies and
gentlemen, like I said, Congressman Rokana is about to be
on the broadcast. I will be asking him some questions about,
you know, what's going on? What's going on is what I'll
say to him. What's going on?
Here was his 35 second video from eight hours ago.
Donald Trump has launched a war on Iran.
The Congress must reconvene on Monday to vote on Thomas Fancy and my war powers resolution
to stop this war.
Trump says his goal is to topple the Iranian regime, but the American people are tired
of regime change wars that cost us billions of dollars at risk for lives.
We don't want to be at war with a country of 90 million people in the Middle East.
member of Congress must go on record today on how they will go on Thomas
Mancy in mind war powers resolution yeah all right I'm calling
the Islamist regime in Tehran has been helping Russian mass grow Ukrainian
There's no major justification for you to help to defend Iran. It would be a completely story if Iran did not have regime
What are you saying bro shut up?
Yeah, that's why we had to kill schoolgirls in Iran. You're right. All right
ladies and gentlemen
Congressman Ro Khanna is here
Welcome to the broadcast this time. I don't know where you're at right now
There's a lot of snow behind you and I know you're not in San Francisco. Where are you at Ro Khanna?
I was at Dartmouth doing a town hall.
I was at Stanford last week on AI,
and so Dartmouth also was key in developing AI.
So we were doing a town hall with students,
packed house on the Epstein class at AI.
Of course, Iran came up a lot.
Yeah, I actually saw in one of your town halls,
there were a bunch of constituents
that you were addressing that tried to tell you like,
now we have to do regime change in iran is a matter of fact
uh... because uh... the iranian government has been incredibly repressive
that is true the iranian government has been incredibly uh... repressive in
in uh... dealing with their own domestic affairs in in putting down any sort of
like uh...
uh... resist this movements
uh... having said that however
uh... your answer was uh... pretty decent where you talked about how
american intervention is not going to help the iranian population and
And unfortunately, only a couple short days after, we are now seeing that the American
and Israeli response is not helpful at all.
America has now since that incident, America and Israel have been bombing Iran.
Iran has been retaliating.
Where are you at now on this issue?
Well, Thomas Massey and I are introducing the war powers resolution to stop this war.
I mean, the reality is it's not just unconstitutional.
It hasn't worked.
It didn't work when we went after Gaddafi.
It led to six years of civil war in Libya.
And people say, oh, Roy, is it a partisan thing
against Al-Qaeda?
No, I just told you something that President Obama did,
who I admire in many ways that I disagreed with.
This isn't work when we took out Saddam Hussein.
The taking out the leader is the easier part.
I mean, the hard part is what comes next.
And a lot of times, the people within the regime
look at what the United States did,
and they use that to whip up angry nationalism.
And it leads to more killing and a worse outcome.
So you have now a president, again,
who promised to end these wars, to not get us
into a regime change war, breaking his promise,
spending billions of our dollars on aircraft carriers there, on strikes there, putting our
troops at risk, and we don't know what's going to come next.
Yeah, and there is no, there is no, there's no day after plan, and that much is obviously
clear. So I want to ask you very directly, do you believe that getting Congress to
vote for the War Powers Act will actually stop this administration, or do you feel
as though this administration is going to continue doing whatever it wants to do regardless.
That's a high bar because we've got to not only pass it, but the president's got to sign it,
or we've got to have the votes to overturn his veto. Now, when Bernie Sanders and I passed the
War Powers Act to help stop the war in Yemen, the president, Trump, in his first time vetoed it,
but he voluntarily suspended the refueling of Saudi planes. And by the way, Thomas Massey
was involved in that as well. But that was the only time that the war power's resolution
has ever passed House of the Senate when Bernie and I did it. And we did manage to get the
war of Yemen to stop, not by force, but by the public pressure. So I believe in this
case the public pressure can matter, especially if we can get more than massy, if we can
get Davidson and a few other Republicans to come vote with us in matters. And at
At the very least, we need a unified democratic party.
And it can't just be this procedural gibberish.
Yes, we need to come to Congress,
and there is a constitutional right.
But we also need to say, we are against dumb wars.
We're against endless wars in the Middle East,
on the substance.
We are not for taking unilateral action
and engaging these wars.
Of course, the Iranian regime is brutal.
And they killed their own citizens.
And there was repression.
And there's no denying that.
But this is not the way to solve the humanitarian matter.
We should have had an international coalition
with targeted sanctions against the regime.
We should have negotiated with China,
which currently is providing cover for the regime.
Why wasn't this part of the bilateral negotiations
with China to get to be tougher on the sanctions
with Iran?
We should have taken it to the UN Security Council.
We did none of the hard work of diplomacy.
So a question I have for you is also the weight of this responsibility that falls on the opposition
party, the Democratic Party.
When you announced that you and Thomas Massey were going to work to put together the war
powers resolution, we were already at the heat of the escalation of the armada moving
in the direction of Iran, and it's now been 12 days after Trump openly postured about attacking
Iran. Do you feel as though there were some setbacks internally within the Democratic Party
as well that this war powers resolution could have been implemented faster, or at least
taken on faster?
It could have, but it wasn't leadership. It was the cracks in our own coalition when
And Josh Godheimer and Markowitz came out with a statement saying that the mass economy
was the Protect Ayatollah Khamenei Act.
That created division where we felt, okay, are we going to lose 20 to 30 Democrats in
the vote, which would have been an incredible signal of weakness.
And so we regrouped.
And it was a short week.
Johnson cut some of the days.
And then we now got three days ago, or mid last week, the consensus.
So now I think the defections would be minimal.
But we still need a very strong democratic vote next week.
Where do you think these defections are coming from, especially considering that the recent
Gallup poll data showed for the first time ever that the plurality of Americans are
actually sympathetic to Palestinians over the Israelis.
And this is not even just about Israel-Palestine, of course, even though it's obvious that this
is Israel's design, Israel's ambition in the region for quite a long time now.
Where do you think these defections are actually coming from?
Because there's clearly not a lot of democratic appetite in the base of the party, let alone
the base of every party at this point.
are majority not in favor of going to war with Iran. By large majorities, Americans are not
in favor of going to war with Iran at all. I believe right before the strikes happen,
27% only across the board with, you know, even the Republicans barely meeting 60% support for
striking Iran. So where are our politicians some in your party as well and plenty in the
republican party with the exception of thomas massie and maybe a couple others
where are they getting their notes from
well they're the uh...
normal neocon pro war
uh... groups and some of the think tanks
but they wanted a war with iran of regime change for decades uh... people
like lindsey graham and others affiliated with them
uh... of course it's not secret i mean a pack has been public saying that they
uh... support uh...
uh... the the strikes and they've been
uh... making that
the case to members. There are other groups like that that are, well, paint members as
weak on national security or protecting the terrorists if they don't vote. And then, like
you mentioned, I was protested. I had 200 or so people shout at me in my own town hall,
and that was the pro-Iranian-American community that was very pro-war and pro-us getting
involved in in the middle east
yet the you go up all from two twenty eight uh... asked if uh... the americans
approve
of the u's tax on iran on saturday and forty four percent said they disapprove
and only thirty four percent said that they approve and
twenty two percent said that they were not sure
with the democratic party
uh... seventy percent disapproved and only ten percent approved with the
republican party even with the republican party was sixty nine
percent approval twelve percent disapproval
And amongst the independents, it was, again,
a majority disapproval at 52%.
So there is no popular appetite for this,
even after Donald Trump has conducted these strikes,
even down to the Republican Party,
where it's only a 69% approval rating,
which is fairly low for actions taken
by the Trump administration,
as adjusted to past performance
for whatever domestic or foreign policy affair
Trump engages in.
So what will it take for our representatives to actually represent the democratic interests
of the majority, overwhelming majorities in your opinion?
What can we do as American citizens?
We need the most strong mobilization right now on the kind of massie war powers resolution.
Just flooding every democratic leader, every democratic member of Congress, every democratic
Senator saying, how do we get a unanimous vote? We've got to flip Gotthimer. We've got to
flip Markowitz on this. We've got to say this is the time you stand with the Democratic
Party in unison. And you stand against a president who's gone to an illegal war that is as
that could have repercussions like the Iraq war. It's as consequentially a vote. And
And so all of your listeners, you've got a huge base if they can just help get an enormous
social media movement that we should become the anti-war party.
Look, Donald Trump took that and lied about it, that's all good from us.
He said, I'm going to be the pro-peace candidate.
I'm going to be the anti-war candidate in 2024.
We have got to be the anti-war party.
We've got to say that what Trump did in Venezuela was illegal and wrong.
he's doing in Iran is illegal and wrong, and not mince words.
Some of these democratic statements,
I'm not going to say which ones, because I
want to pick a fight with my own party.
But some of these statements, you read it,
and I don't know what they're saying.
It's a bunch of, I have to get to paragraph 6 to understand,
well, are they against it?
Are they for it?
I mean, it's such a long prelude.
I'm thinking, OK, are they going
to come out with a featherman?
I'm for the strikes, and they're like, no, it's illegal.
So just say we were against endless wars.
We're against intervention in these cases.
We're again spending people's money on these wars
where we know from experience from Libya,
from Iraq, from what happened in 20 years in Afghanistan
that they don't work.
Do you feel like, yeah,
so that's another thing I was gonna ask.
Do you feel like offering justifications
to why there is a necessity for regime change
while simultaneously talking about the process
in which this regime change is taking place
is actually a failure in the response
within the democratic party for those who choose to speak on this issue on on
such terms.
I think it should start with the war in Iran is wrong that we should not be
getting involved in another Middle East war that we should not be spending
billions of dollars on this in our aircraft carriers there that it can
foment and ugly Iranian nationalism that can make the situation worse
that it could foment to civil war and and sectarian violence that
balance that could lead to more people being killed.
And in that, one can then say that we understand that the Iranian regime is a brutal regime
that is killing its own people and that we call for human rights and we call for the
Iranian regime to be sanctioned for what they're doing, to build an international
coalition against what they're doing, and that we call for the recognition of human
rights in these places and standing for that as an international community.
But I don't think that what we should be doing is openly calling for regime change with the
assumption that the United States' military is going to help facilitate that.
Okay.
So you're saying as long as the wording is flipped on and the weight is adjusted in
the direction of no war with Iran, but then talking about the Iranian administration's
like repressive nature is probably a better alternative.
Another question I have is the reason why I'm asking this question is because clearly
when these kinds of statements come out right in the aftermath of the Israeli-American joint
strikes on Iran taking the lives of 200 people and according to on-the-ground reports
so far, there have been not one, but two schools that have been potentially targeted and hit
with our missiles, very likely, where there are a lot of young schoolgirls that were slain,
up to 51 in the last reports that I saw, and the numbers actually may rise, with the total
casualty numbers being 80 to 90. I think that the reality of the matter is American bombs
are not going to be, are not going to cause liberation for the Iranian population as a
matter of fact, especially considering there's no day after plan, even if there was a day
after plan, it still wouldn't cause true sovereignty for the Iranian population.
How do you, how do you feel about the ways in which Donald Trump is trying to create
a mission accomplished banner here by talking about the Ayatollah being
potentially killed. Like do you feel like this is, do you feel like this is
going to be a battle to fight on the communication strike, on the communication
side? Well we need to see what the reporting is. I've seen the same social
media reports that you have that the Ayatollah may have been killed and
obviously he's a terrible actor, but the question is what comes next? I mean
is the regime just going to replace him?
I mean, it's not clear that just because he's killed,
that suddenly that means that there's
going to be democratic governance with human rights.
I mean, you could still have the IRGC just
replace him with someone else.
He was aging and frail and likely to pass anyway
over the next year.
So I think what is important is to see what the facts are
and understand that just killing people
the easier part, but the much harder part is building a government that respects human
rights and democracy and that making sure that the country doesn't descend into civil war.
It's also not setting a precedent for Putin or Xi Jinping or other great powers that if
they want they can just go in and assassinate other country leaders if they disagree with
the regime.
Yeah, I mean, I don't think, well, with Putin he has done similar things in the
the past as well, but I don't necessarily think that the hypocrisy argument is our strongest
one, but that's my own personal perspective here.
The thing that I wanted to, before I let you go on, and I thank you so much for coming
on, one of the questions I have here is about where we go from here, like where
Where we go from here, what's your assessment on what the retaliation is looking like so
far?
What the retaliation is going to bring about?
Because it does seem like this is going to be an extended conflict.
Well, first of all, I'm hopeful that it is not extended.
I'm hopeful that we can extricate ourselves.
I'm hopeful that our service members aren't going to get killed.
I'm hopeful that we're not going to have killings of young girls in Iran.
Again, I haven't been able to confirm that, but I've seen the same reports on social
media as you have of this horrific sense of young girls being killed in schools.
And I don't, I will find out, uh, but we need it to, to, to stop and we need to have some
sense of statesmanship and diplomacy now take over.
And that's why I'm hoping that's why I want to rearrange my schedule to come
on because you reach a lot of people.
And this vote is going to be one of the most critical historic votes in their country's
history.
I mean, people talk about the Epstein vote, and that was important, very important for
survivors and justice and the lead in punitive.
But this vote may even have deeper consequences, which Massey and I are bringing, which is
that a clear no to getting into another war in the Middle East.
I mean, that's really what's at stake.
And so my hope is that we will see anti-war mobilization around the country, that we
We can get a decisive vote on this and that we can stop us from putting in ground troops,
stop us from having forces there that are going to be in a drawn-out fight with the
regime.
Or at least create a legal structure to, to, to later down the line have punishments
if necessary, if the Democrats actually do win the majority, come midterm elections
and draw up articles of impeachment potentially.
One thing I will ask is, you were able to create a successful popular mobilization around
the release of the Epstein files.
And clearly, this was something that Donald Trump ran on.
Personally, you were able to take advantage of the base of support, the Republican side
of the conversation, also wanting transparency around who was actually financially involved
Jeffrey Epstein, who was actually potentially a co-conspirator. And this is the reason why
that public pressure caused even Donald Trump to sign in the law, something that he's
currently not following through on. Having said that, what are some of the more malleable,
who are some of the more malleable colleagues that you have in Congress on the other side
of the political spectrum across the aisle that could actually receive a little bit of
pressure to help people like ourselves potentially whip votes, because it's very clear that, you
know, Mike Johnson is going to be a hurdle in that endeavor.
Well, I think Representative Davidson is a key vote. Representative Bacon is a key vote.
Representative Brine-Fitzpatrick is a key vote here. Someone like Andy Briggs is a persuadable
personal representative, Gosar, has opposed military interventions. And then on our side,
of course, you know, you've got to get maskewitz, you've got to get Godheimer, you've got to
get Lorne Gillen. And we need a strong statement from all of the party leaders that we are
not going to be for another Middle East war. And so to the extent that people are mobilizing
online for strong statements and support of Massey and my bill that will help.
I mean, you know, we've seen it from some people.
AOC issued a very strong statement saying no war with support kind of Massey's bill.
She's going to do it.
We need other clear, decisive statements.
Of course, you know, Pramila Jalpal and Mark Polkan and, you know, there have been
a number of people in the progressive group, as Greg Tazar, who have.
but we need that as many of those as possible
yeah um... last question i have for you is uh... you talked about potentially
pressuring the iran in government in order to bring about democracy
uh... in iran
uh... there was an alternative means that uh... that
previous administrations utilize one that you actually brought up yourself
brock obama's administration
was able to successfully facilitate the jcp away if the nuclearization was
a major problem which i don't think it is
isn't there an alternative as far as uh... the utilization of sanctions in the
ease of sanctions in order to get assurances
do you believe
sincerely
that this conversation these negotiations were actually about
uh... uh...
these conversations that were taking place in the trump administration
and iran
with a lot of israeli intervention influence as well
uh... were were truly about the nuclear rising iran
ensuring that they only have civilian grade enriched uranium, or do you believe that that
was just a costous belly to create an opportunity to strike Iran, to destabilize Iran?
I believe that there were people negotiating, thinking they really were going to solve the
nuclear issue, but the Omanis were immediately saying that they were close to a deal, that
We're making progress, and yet Donald Trump, someone got in his air about a regime change
and he's gone at it from a regime change.
As is evidence, if you believe the reporting about the Ayatollah, that there's allegations
and evidence that the first strike may have been on, one of the first strikes would have
been on the Ayatollah.
So obviously their mission was a regime change and not just the nuclear deal.
I supported the JCPOA, and the Omanis were saying that the United States could
have gotten a better deal than even the JCPOA. We could have gotten a deal on not you on dismantling
the ballistics and dismantling any and giving up any enriched uranium and storage. But we chose
not to do it. And I at this point believe Donald Trump is engaged in a regime change war.
Yeah. Okay. Well, thank you so much, Ro Khanna for coming on. And I hope to hear from you.
Thank you. Good luck on on on hopefully being able to win the votes. And we'll try to do
are very best out here as well. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, Hassan. All right.
That was Representative Rokana for a short interview.
Moscow is Israel. Moscow is a genocide supporter. He needs to be voted out in these midterms. No,
I know. I know. I don't think the, I don't think, I think it's good to have peoples,
like actual perspective on the record and in whichever way they vote, to have that in
the congressional record. Dubai airport has reported been hit in the latest Iranian attacks
against the U.A.E.
Press reporting on the ground missile damage in Tel Aviv.
Saturday night around 11 now.
The fact that this is the Israeli government allowing this reporting to go through means
that there's a reason for it.
Okay?
There's a reason for it.
If they're showing these strikes, that means that their retaliation is going to be incredibly
severe. Okay? That means that their retaliation is going to be far more severe and they're
trying to create a reason for it, to showcase themselves as like the victims here. Because
under different circumstances, Israel has, under different circumstances, Israel has
not allowed there to be any reporting on impact sites because it greatly diminishes
confidence in the iron dome. So the very fact that they have this in English too means that
they're going to go fucking nutty mode next time around. PM, we're here on scene in the
central district of Israel. You can see behind me there is, they literally made it illegal
to show this stuff last time around in the 12 day war. I just want to let you know.
Okay. This was illegal. They never allowed, if you remember, there were American reporters
on scene. Trey Yinks was pushed away by the Israeli occupational forces and stopped from
filming one of the impact sites. This probably because it's a residential area that's part
of the reason why they're showing it. They don't show the military, they don't show strike
zones, impact zones, if it's actually a military target, even if it's in a residential neighborhood.
This is in English, it's very suspicious. I'm just letting you know there's a reason
for why you're seeing this.
severe missile strike that hit a complex building complex Iran is produced
iron not iron okay good one we're still currently working now with the other
forces on the field to make sure we can take out the fire and we're still
extracting at this moment patients from both buildings you can see behind me
we're still working on the buildings that are surrounded are still a blaze
have you found any trusted sources denying or confirming common a the
The Iranian government is not the most reliable when it comes to stuff like this.
They're saying that that's not the case, that Khamenei is still alive.
The Israeli sources, especially when it comes to high-profile targets, high-profile assassinations
are fairly reliable.
They're fairly consistent.
So I would, if I were to weigh the responses, I would say that the Israeli response is
probably accurate.
I don't know.
Donald Trump is coping doing the media blitz right now, saying it's pretty much over.
At this stage, maybe we can get a fucking interview with Donald Trump.
His motherfuckers calling every goddamn news outlet he possibly can to be like, no, it's
great, it's great, we're great, we're doing great, I promise you, things are great.
Believe it.
Okay.
Judging by the Trump response, it's probably the exact opposite if he says it's good.
That means it's not good.
I talked to the president over the phone a short while ago and asked him how long U.S.
military operations are on will go on.
How long do you think this will last as long as we want it to actually, but it's
done such damage already.
It's like they are incapacitated essentially, ask them what happens next if the regime
fails.
What do you think the next leadership looks like?
Have you identified anybody?
Trump?
very good idea who how he did not elaborate beyond that
new attacks fresh attacks on televieve we're going live to the televieve
right now there's some interceptions that took place it seems
god damn it the fucking AP cameras are so ass though they like
literally avoid showing the impact.
Would you throw on a MAGA hat?
The question every journalist should ask,
Donald Trump is, you said if the Ayatollah is dead,
that the Iranian regime is cratered,
or the Iranian regime is incapacitated,
Why are they still attacking American bases in the region and also Israel?
Why are the Iranians not up in arms as you suggested previously?
How much weight do you place on Israeli intelligence? These are some good questions to ask the Trump administration.
How much weight do you place on Israeli intelligence as opposed to your own internal communique?
your generals have informed you that in the CIA reporting according to Reuters
informed you that there is no day after plan and that there is no day after plan
and that killing the Ayatollah will not actually yield the response or will not
actually yield the results that you thought it would. As the president
stated our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent
threats in the Iranian regime. The president ordered bold actions that come
forth are delivering an overwhelming, unrelenting blow.
There's also reports of a US ship being struck.
But I don't know how reliable that is.
Iran's IRGC announces, fifth wave of TP-4 US targets were a US MSP supply ship near Jabal
Ali.
Reportedly, the ship's been disabled with four Iranian drones suffering heavy damage.
The ship supplies US military ships.
The US bay is in Kuwait hit with four ballistic missiles and 12 drones with confirmed casualties.
A US MSP class combat support vessel serving as a fuel tanker in the Indian Ocean struck
with Qatar 380 missiles.
the strikes cause heavy damage and losses. This is from six minutes ago from the IRGC.
The number of injuries in Tel Aviv have reached to 20 people. Some 20 people were wounded by
the Iranian ballistic missile impact in Tel Aviv, according to the first responders.
Among them is one person in critical condition, one in serious condition and two in moderate
condition.
The fact that the Ayatollah posted, yeah, this doesn't mean anything.
In the name of the exalted hider, peace be upon him, that doesn't really mean anything.
Anyone could fucking post on his profile.
I will say, our only frame of reference right now is to compare this to the 12-day war.
in comparison to the twelve-day war
they are much faster
uh... striking targets in televieve
in the twelve-day war it took a couple days for them to be able to successfully
penetrate the iron dome especially with like
uh... the the missiles they were using
they used a lot of
they used a lot of fucking older equipment they use a lot of drones
the drones are super slow
easy to fucking intercept
uh... this time around they came in hot
and they haven't really uh... ceased
in their barrage of missiles
uh... the are you do the huge problem is with the iranian state don't trust them
uh...
you're you're not wrong for the record you are absolutely correct on that
uh... but it's of course important to get the other sides perspective in this
matter what are you talking about
or someone i'm literally only watching american media every now and then
in the overwhelming sea of American,
Amerisraeli media that I'm watching,
I'm gonna fucking listen to what the Iranian side
is saying as well, okay?
It's fucking crazy.
Like Jesus Christ, dude, but yes, I am aware.
Thank you for informing me.
You're gonna see behind us, we gotta move.
There's a lot of incoming fire right now toward Tel Aviv,
And so just, and just stay with us.
We gotta go our security.
So we're gonna stay live with you,
but we gotta move toward the hard cover here.
The city's getting hit very hard.
Come with me.
And we're gonna stay behind us.
We gotta move.
There's a lot of incoming fire right now.
Can you pray for me?
I live in Qatar.
If you lived in Qatar,
what would you do as cutters in the middle
of everything going on?
I would fucking demand that the,
I mean you have no fucking real democratic power here, but I would demand that the, the, uh, kingdom, uh, remove the U.S. bases no more Sencom.
Good luck.
Yeah, Trump is calling it.
There's also an emergency UN session happening right now. What are they going to do fucking condemnations?
No destabilization. Yeah, this shit doesn't matter to me at all, brother
I might as well be watching I might as well tune into like the the
Hutchinson broadcast to see what his take is on fucking America and Israel striking Iran, you know, oh
No, the United Nations
What's next, dude? Are you going to send me another stern letter that China wrote about how this impedes trade-maxing somehow?
Every single dumbass uroid leader came out and said, oh, how joyous of a day this is that America is striking another sovereign nation.
Literally.
Who takes over if the itola is dead another itola itola is a position.
There are three in the line of succession that were picked in secret before the 12-day war
because the current Ayatollah, or the former potentially Ayatollah, who is 86 years old,
recognized that Israel was probably going to do a decapitation strike.
It didn't happen in the last 12 day war, but it happened this time, potentially, allegedly.
Donald Trump came out and said, Khomeini, one of the most evil people in history is dead.
This is not only justice for the people of Iran, but for all great Americans and those
people from many countries throughout the world that have been killed or mutilated
by Chaminet and his gang of bloodthirsty thugs. He was unable to avoid our intelligence and
highly sophisticated tracking systems and working closely with Israel. There was not
a thing he or the other leaders that have been killed along him could do. This is the
single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their country. This is the
remainder of their strike package, by the way. Oh, we killed the Ayatollah. It's
time to take the streets, right? That's why they're heavily leaning into this, like, um,
we killed the, we killed your leader. Come on, go ahead. Now is time to rise up Iran.
Okay. The head of Iran's unified combatant command, Major Ali General Abdullah, he has
release of audio statements saying that Trump should know that it is time that this time
it is not up to him to end the war and that the U.S. Israel must receive a teeth breaking
response.
That's what I meant, dude.
We are weighing another salvo of missiles that are incoming.
But in any case, let's continue with this.
This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their country.
We're hearing that many of their IRGC military and other security police forces no longer
want to fight and are looking for immunity from us.
As I said last night, now they could have immunity.
Later on, they only get death.
Hopefully the IRGC employees will peacefully
merge with the Iranian patriots and work together
as a unit to bring back the country
to the greatness it deserves.
There's zero percent chance he believes this, right?
Like, like it's just,
like does he think that the IRGC is not even
more aggressive hardliners than even the fucking Ayatollah.
Recent report by the New York Times and Reuters indicates Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei entrusted
Lara Jani with wartime contingency planning and safeguarding the Islamic Republic's political
structure in the event of major escalations of or leadership assassinations.
What did Ali Lara Jani say?
The guy who the Ayatollah put in charge if he was to be killed, let's hear from Ali
Larajani.
We will make the Zionist criminals and the shameless Americans regret their actions.
The brave soldiers and the great nation of Iran will deliver an unforgettable lesson to
the hellish international oppressors.
I don't know. I don't know how much smoke this is. I don't know if this is smoke and mirrors.
Wait, what is this? Is this another one?
Two interceptors swing and miss. Oh no.
Ooh.
Good attempt though. That's good. I mean, tax dollars at play. Tax dollars at play.
Text dollars to play folks, let's watch the video.
I don't know where there going to go . Are the interceptors . Yeah . A lot of you guys
are joking but this is no joking matter interceptors only miss their target if they're feeling under
if they're feeling anxious okay like this only famously happens if interceptors are feeling
very anxious very nervous and i don't think it's i don't think it's funny i don't think it's funny
that you guys are laughing at american tax dollars at play uh being lit on fire this is performance
anxiety. Especially after the 12-day war performance, like they're very nervous the interceptors are.
How would you do in their stead? Really, how would you do? I bet you wouldn't also
perform as well as the interceptors are. Have you thought about maybe the fact that
these interceptors are Hamas? Have you thought about that? Not laughing now, are you?
Yeah, your empathy is insane. I'm a very empathetic person. Exactly. I can even, I can even demonstrate
empathy for faceless, lifeless interceptor missiles that my tax dollars paid for. Yeah.
There's more to the Trump statement. He confirms you will do heavy bombing until
peace, peace, peace through bombs. Oh, I forgot. I forgot to finish the Trump statement
Because we were looking at the guy in charge if Ali Haman a is actually dead
Hmm
Why are you making jokes right now, bro? This all leading to a large regional war?
What do you want me to fucking say man? What do you want me to do cry all day?
The fuck do you want if I'm angry? Everyone goes. Oh, you're bent. You're bent. You're fucking mad. You're mad
If I make every joke every now and then over the course of the last six fucking hours
You're like, why are you making jokes? What am I supposed to do? Die? Jesus Christ.
I paid for it. I'm watching it happen.
Yeah, I'll cry my fuck-a-ball, okay? I'll cry my fucking eyes out every time.
The poor nation-state of Israel, which literally demanded this happen, you know,
you know, uh, uh, faces a fracture of the consequences of its actions that it's like
dishing out to the entire fucking planet with my tax dollars.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, this is what I say legalized comedy.
I'm stoic.
I'm stoic.
That's what it is.
That's what I'm doing.
Anyway, hopefully the RGC police that all the stuff, the process should
soon be starting in that, not only the death of Khamenei, but the country has been in only
one day very much destroyed and even obliterated. The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will
continue uninterrupted throughout the week, or as long as necessary to achieve our objective
of peace through the Middle East and indeed the world. Thank you for, oh, so he's going
to continue bombing Iran. He's like, oh, if you guys don't, it's literally exactly
as I said. Remember earlier when I said they're going to tune up the dial of death
and destruction if the Iranians don't respond, it's basically the same process as the sanctions
where it's like, we'll starve you until you kill your leaders. Okay. Okay. Now that we've
killed your leaders will bomb you until you've killed the rest of the leaders. And
if you don't actually kill your leaders, we'll just bomb you harder.
The bombing will continue. Some of you are going to die, but that's a risk I'm
willing to take I mean he literally said American soldiers are gonna die in the
process and that's a risk he's willing to take so of course doesn't give a fuck
about brown people let's be real now
huh if Iran had nooks why not use them with their supreme leader dead but it
looks like they will start bombing the oil fields wait what who said Iran has
nukes no one thinks Iran has nukes if America thought Iran had nukes they
wouldn't be bombing Iran. That's kind of the whole point.
It's at the senior level right up to the Supreme Leader, but there are other levels that remain
and there are others who could then slide into those positions. Do they have the same power?
Does the regime together have the same strength and wherewithal to remain in power,
to exercise power inside its country around the region? Those are open questions.
And also, what would the US be willing to accept, right?
If this does not topple the regime, if the people don't rise up and do it themselves,
would the US, for instance, be willing to accept someone from inside the regime, ala
what we saw in Venezuela, right?
You removed Nicolas Maduro and Delcey Rodriguez moves in.
There's no quite no Delcey Rodriguez equivalent in Iran.
But what would the U.S.
You want to know why that won't happen?
Because Israel, that's why.
No, that won't happen.
Unless it's literally like Mike Huckabee that they plant in charge of Iran, which the Iranian population will obviously revolt against, which is, which you need military intervention at that point, unless there is literally like Rezapah Lavi or something, which again will require boots on the ground to defend.
is not happening because Israel, Israel doesn't trust any Iranian to run the country. Israel
looks like it wants peace in Iran.
And held enormous power inside Lebanon. It backed up the awful Assad regime in Syria
before it fell, which carried out years and years of crimes against its own people, bloody
crackdown of course it back to moss which is attacked israel repeatedly most
notably on october seventh it backs the hoothy rebels in yemen which has been
disrupting shipping in the red sea but but specifically from the u.s.
perspective during his reign he it was iran that was supplying the we are the
bad guys were watching the bad guys news story okay we are literally
watching the bad guy news channel okay like think about that perspective
It's like, oh, well, you know, the devastating attacks that Iran contributed to with October 7 is like no mention of
Israel's apartheid no mention of Israel's genocide like that's not that's an advertising against his own people
Multiple bloody crackdowns against the Iranian people. That's what his leadership was for the country and for the region
Jim she know as always it is good to have you to put that in context the stories that matter this whole area
Is he dead or not? Why so much contradicting news? There's a very high likelihood that he's dead.
But again, that doesn't change, that really doesn't change the dynamic from the perspective of like
the Iranian government continue to retaliate against Israel, right?
There's a very low likelihood, but there's still a likelihood that he might not be dead. But
But like, if he's not dead, if he's not dead, like, okay, Iran is still retaliating.
If he is dead, okay, Iran is still retaliating.
You see what I'm saying?
America would at least need a fighting force to support like in Afghanistan that she
won't have it like this.
Yeah, there's no, there's no amount of bombing.
You don't have popular mobilized forces on the ground.
You can't use the Kurdish militias to fucking control the Iranian government, right?
Like that would be fucking insane.
And the only like robust popular mobilization you can engage with on the ground is the Kurdish
militias that would like come in from Iraq, which I believe they did.
They were they were pushing in or they had that sort of ambition, which is why
a lot of the RGC troop positioning moved in the direction of the Kurdish areas because
they were worried about a potential invasion.
But there is no, there's no world that you, there's no world that you have a stable government
around that's a puppet state. Iranian people do not fuck with that, okay? Love the crash
out. The Epstein cabal is lighting your tax money
on fire you will never actually have a moment of respite and your only analysis here is that
a guy that you don't like on the internet because he thinks that that money should be
spent on you instead by the way that's the reason why I'm angry your only fucking assessment
here is oh guy on twitch is mad you're a fucking idiot dude literally you are a slave
Chatter?
Explain to me to the best of your fucking ability how striking Iran is going to lead to any positive outcome in your life.
Go ahead. I'm waiting for your response.
Explain to me how your pathetic life is going to get better.
bombing bombing and murdering little schoolgirls in Iran to own the libs I guess
America is led by a pedophilic cabal
and you're over here being like no this time is good actually the pedophilic cabal's a grand desire
in murdering school children is actually going to be so good.
Plot twist, he lives in Israel so the tax money actually goes to him?
Well, it's not. I just love the crash outlaw. I actually agree with you. Okay.
Shia Iraqis are celebrating in Dearborn, where Saddam was executed 9 of 10 years later, ISIS
was taken slaves and killing Shia.
It took 3-4 solid years before it was crystal clear that Iraq was a complete clusterfuckin'
a mistake.
Just very odd that this stuff was repeatedly memory-holded, I remember Tariq Ali being
shouted on question time for not supporting the invasion by an Iraqi.
Yeah, the fact that people still point the postwar Japan and Germany's examples of regime
turnarounds 80 years later shows how unusual it is in the modern era that was after the
use of nukes and tens of millions dead.
from us at the official background briefing recording listening to seriously question if u.s negotiators understood what iranis were proposing one official kept saying the acronym i
i a e a ron
the international atomic
energy agency by the way
they seem astonished iran would not agree to the u.s. supplying them nuclear fuel
they took as suspicion propose suspicious proposes that rossos concessionary
explains why oman foreign minister tried to come on dc
come to DC to explain what U.S. negotiators may not have fully understood. I'm not saying what Iran
proposed would have been enough. I don't know, but it seems U.S. negotiators did not have
the expert guidance to understand it correctly. Lack of experienced experts in the U.S. team
means they were seemingly relying on outside sources to interpret it for them.
I will tell you from my own suspicions with my conversation with Rokana, by the way
earlier, that they are very worried about having this come across as like Israel's war, America's
fighting Israel's war. Why are they worried about this? Because back in the day, that's what Pat Buchanan
used to say, okay? It is seen by especially the old guard in both the media and also in the
political class as an anti-Semitic canard. Unfortunately for them, it's objective reality,
right? And I do a very, I am very careful with the language that I use. And also on top of that,
we'll routinely explain how this has become Israel's war, rather than just simply say like,
oh, we invaded Iraq because of Israel or whatever the fuck, right? Like, was that good for Israel?
Yes. Was America still at the, you know, behind the wheel in that endeavor? Absolutely.
The reason why I say this is Israel's war is because America demonstrated an alternative
perspective with Iran, and it was cast aside. Right? Not only is this the populist attitude,
but it's also the correct one. It's kind of like how neoliberals would regularly say,
oh, you fool, you simpleton, saying we invaded Iraq for oil is stupid. It doesn't
actually explain the full scope. Except we did invade Iraq for oil. That was a major component.
Okay? So anyone that tries to disparage that is a fucking idiot. And the same goes for saying
this is Israel's war. This doesn't mean I'm not advocating the responsibility from the hands of the
American administration. I certainly am not doing that. They are fucking monsters. Okay. This administration
and the duopoly on the issue of how to deal with Iran, the military intervention in Iran for regime
change is conducted by monsters. Okay. It's still a collaborative effort. The reality on the
the matter. The reality on the other hand is that the monsters that are holding on to the
fucking steering wheel here are the Israeli ones. Okay. That's it. There was no ambition
to actually negotiate with Iran that was never in play. That was never real. We 100% were
going along with whatever the fuck Israel wanted to do. And anyone that doesn't
recognize that picture is going to give you the wrong analysis. Okay? I will say this much though.
Shockingly, I am receiving, in spite of the fact that we have 60,000 people on the Twitch stream
And another 26,000 watching on the YouTube stream shouts out to you to by the way, please like the YouTube stream. I
Would like it very much if you were to hit that like button and also subscribe to the YouTube stream, but
Despite the fact that there are so many people watching right now
The number of people that are in here being like oh get fucked libtard. We're owning the I had told her or
Whatever the fuck is very marginal
This is anecdotal, of course, but it leaves me to believe that the propaganda apparatus
is not working as intended.
A lot of people are so angry at Israel in general that it kind of feels as though people are
not buying what the American government is selling here.
It's quite a difficult thing to sell to the American masses that keep hearing over
over and over again that you don't have enough money to fix the potholes you
don't have enough money to fix the fucking healthcare system you don't have
enough money to fix the education you don't have enough money to get better
broadband better infrastructure better services from the government but when it
comes down to defending Israel we will fucking move mountains okay we will
move mountains. Netanyahu's plane wings of Zion landed in Berlin he is no
Oh, shot.
Nah, no way.
He did not run away to Germany.
I mean, Greece, I understand, even though it's in striking distance of Iran.
But, Germany?
the ICC warrant. They said he did that last time, but I don't think he did. I don't think
this is real, man. That's crazy, especially considering that the European Union, I mean,
that's, it's over at that point. You might as well go to Davos, you know what I mean?
Like what is the ICC warrant worth? Nothing. Nothing at all.
The ICC warrant is not worth the paper it was written on. You can't even wipe your ass with that shit.
Maybe it's a it's a pump fake
Here's the comparison of polling with support for the Iraq war versus this
72% of Americans were in support of military action in Iraq
In 2003 versus at the beginning of the attacks against Iran. It's only 34% and that's after
That's that's like one day after that number will grow for the record, but it's crazy that a 45%
opposition and plurality opposition still exists. If Big Yellow step foot in Greece he would be
turned into a campfire story. Okay dude. Are you live on YouTube? I can't find your stream.
I am live on U2BS.
Today's military strikes by the United States and Israel
mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal act of war, of aggression.
Bombing cities, killing civilians, opening up a new theater of war.
Americans do not want this.
Americans do not want another war in pursuit of regime change.
We want an answer to the affordability crisis.
We want peace.
Now, I may be a young mayor,
I am old enough to remember the devastating consequences of our country's pursuit of regime change in this same region not that many years ago.
Now my focus is on keeping New Yorkers safe.
I've been in close contact with our police commissioner and emergency management officials.
We are increasing agency coordination as well as patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
And additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers.
You are a part of the fabric of this city.
are our students, our artists, our small business owners, our neighbors, our community leaders,
you will be safe here.
How could there be a Pakistan and Afghanistan fighting to I don't fucking know, man.
Here's a wider shot of the Tel Aviv skyline, bro.
I don't want to see it.
Okay.
I'm seeing no movement, no motion.
Yes, yes, yes, the bourgeois Arab hotel has been struck by an Iranian drone is on fire.
I know.
What Trumpers are feeling, bro, what the fuck if you still support Trump after starting
a new war, you are an ignorant shit for brain sycophant who loves being lied to. You'd believe
anything you're told and are enabling the most corrupt president to do whatever his real demands.
What the fuck no one wants this shit? Yeah, I agree. I agree with that. I just don't know if it's
I haven't, I haven't seen enough as far as like, you know, Trump supporters speaking out against
this yet, so I don't know. Settlers angry in Tel Aviv screaming something about autobus
on fire.
Senior Trump administration officials telling me that credible intelligence indicated Iran
plan preemptive. Oh, come on. Get the fuck out of here. Get the fuck out of here, bro.
Have any of these wars ever been over the US? Fuck you, Bradley. I mean, Bradley pulled
out the ripcord on Trump far before many did. Let's be real, but it's true. A lot
people including jank even at some point hit that line about how uh trump is gonna be uh trump is
gonna be like a peaceful dove and shit i mean i don't i can't even fuck it's unbelievable dude
She still made the war by Charlie Kirk. I admire it. Yeah, you're gonna have to earn our trust in this one
We will never forget how they murdered Charlie Kirk for this war and he knew they were gonna do it
He spent his final days mentally anguished texting the very people who would ultimately betray him in honor of Charlie
I stand against Israel what
What the hell the fuck does this what?
New Strikes in Tel Aviv.
Is that new?
Are you being bought it or is it a big news day?
What do you think man?
Is World War Epstein?
I don't know about this one.
I think what we really need to think about is, what we really need to think about is the
The
talking place out on background, a senior
ministry official briefed a report to say that Iran's
negotiations rejected a U.S. offer. They're just lying
about everything. It's so funny.
Iran's negotiations rejected a U.S. offer to provide
free civilian use nuclear fuel forever and refuse
to discuss their ballistic missile program at all.
U.S. negotiators felt like the talks couldn't get
through a real deal.
strikes happening right now. Man.
What is this? Iranian liberal women. Oh, this was after the first 12-day war. Iranian liberal
women showing her hair hold protest demanding Iran acquire atomic bomb to use against Israel
close to the Shraddho, close to Shraddho Hormuz. This was from the last 12-day war. This was the

real video, but it was from last time Israel struck Iran. Why are you talking about Iran?

No, no, Chris Menehan has always been like super anti-Israel, though.

very good friends and allies in europe are troops stationed overseas
and could soon reach the american homeland
just imagine how emboldened this regime would be if they ever had
and actually were armed with nuclear weapons
as a means to deliver their message.
For these reasons, the United States military
is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation
to prevent this very wicked, radical dictatorship
from threatening America
and our core national security interests.
We are going to destroy their missiles
and raise their missile industry to the ground.
it will be totally again obliterated.
We're going to annihilate their Navy.
We're going to ensure that the region's terrorist
proxies can no longer destabilize the region
or the world and attack our forces
and no longer use their IEDs or roadside bombs
as they are sometimes called to so gravely wound
and kill thousands and thousands of people,
including many Americans.
And we will ensure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon.
It's a very simple message.
They will never have a nuclear weapon.
This regime will soon learn that no one should challenge
the strength and might of the United States armed forces.
I built and rebuilt our military in my first administration.
And there is no military on Earth,
even close to its power, strength or sophistication.
My administration has taken every possible step
to minimize the risk to US personnel in the region.
Even so, and I do not make this statement.
Crazy, he got that dumb ass hat on
while he's doing this speech, by the way.
Rightly.
The Iranian regime seeks to kill.
The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost
and we may have casualties.
That's crazy.
That often happens in war, but we're doing this, not for now, we're doing this for...
He said, he said some of our soldiers are going to die for Israel.
It's not a big deal, you know?
It is what it is.
It's a future and it is a noble mission.
We pray for every service member as they selflessly risk their lives to ensure that
Americans and our children will never be threatened by a nuclear armed Iran.
We ask God to protect all of our heroes in harm's way, and we trust that with his help
the men and women of the armed forces will prevail.
We have the greatest in the world, and they will prevail.
To the members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, the armed forces and all of the
police, I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity
or in the alternative, face certain death.
So lay down your arms.
You will be treated fairly with total immunity
or you will face certain death.
Finally, to the great, proud people of Iran,
I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand.
Stay sheltered.
Don't leave your home.
It's very dangerous outside.
Bombs will be dropping everywhere.
When we are finished, take over your government.
it will be yours to take.
This will be probably your only chance for generations.
For many years you have asked for America's help.
Just take over your government forehead.
Come on.
Like this is the big,
it's unbelievable that this is the grand strategy
they have in motion.
Come on, just take over the government, dude. What do you mean?
It's incredible.
Wouldn't that be great?
If you guys just, uh,
you know, just took over your government.
It's like, bitch, you tried to take over this government and it fucking failed.
And you were the president.
Like this motherfucker was a president when he did January 6 and it still fucking failed
What are we talking about?
You couldn't even fucking
You couldn't even liberate the American masses, but you never got it
No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight
Now you have a president who is giving you what you want
So, let's see how you respond.
America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force.
Now is the time to seize control of your destiny and to unleash the prosperous and glorious
future that is close within your reach.
This is the moment for action.
Do not let it pass.
May God bless the brave men and women of America's armed forces.
May God bless the United States of America.
God bless you all.
And that was posted at about 2.30 a.m. Eastern time by the president.
And since then we saw of course the strike across many cities in Iran and the retaliatory
strikes across several states and countries there in the region.
The UAE reporting that one person was killed by debris falling from one of the intercepts
of a ballistic missile from Iran.
Let's talk now about the political implications of this operation with Aero Lewis, political
anchor for Spectrum News, and the host of The Big Deal with Aero Lewis.
Aero, good morning to you.
And before we get into those specific elements, let's back up just a bit.
I mean, the world is awake and watching this, but put this into a political, a domestic
political context.
It's the moment that we're watching in President Trump's time in office and the gravity of the
address we just played in full.
Good morning, Victor.
It's interesting that this should be happening right now.
There was a poll taken just a couple of days ago, the Associated Press has reported, saying
that people have, by and large, Americans have very little confidence in this president
to handle a situation of exactly this sort.
People are worried, a majority of voters are worried about a nuclear armed Iran, but an
overwhelming majority say they are not entirely comfortable with Donald Trump as the person
to try and solve the situation.
And so I think when you see that there is this arms buildup, there is this troop buildup,
the world's largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford steaming into the region,
we know that there's a lot of force being directed at Iran, but it's really telling
that there is no true presence. And the president's address really confirmed that it's not a
full-scale invasion. He wants to try and get out of this or get through this, maybe provoke
regime change without a lot of American casualties because I think the White House knows very
well that the people are not necessarily behind this and that what starts out as
uncertainty can turn into direct political opposition if this goes on for too long.
My brothers and sisters, citizens of Israel, before the holidays, Israel and the United
States launched a joint operation, Operation Roaring Lion.
The goal of the operation, to put an end to the threat from the Ayatollah regime in
Iran.
At this moment, the IDF is striking targets of the repressive regime, facilities of the
Revolutionary Guards and the besieged, and together with the United States, sites of
ballistic missiles that threaten both Israel and U.S. forces.
This operation will continue for as long as necessary.
For 47 years, the evil regime in Iran has called, death to Israel, death to America.
It has crushed the citizens of its own country, it has cast fear upon the peoples
of the region, and it has spread a sprawling network of terror throughout the entire world.
It has invested vast resources to develop atomic bombs and tens of thousands of...
It will never not be funny to me that everything that the West says about Iran, Israel has
done tenfold.
Like they'll talk about Iran wanting to develop nuclear weapons, Israel has nuclear
weapons.
They talk about like Iran being a cancerous force in the region. Israel is the cancer.
Okay, 100%.
It's nutty.
Missiles intended, as it defined it, to erase Israel from the map of the world. It also
also armed the terror proxies around us, in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Judea
and Samaria, and it shed our blood.
But if anyone needed further proof of the murderous nature of the Ayatollah regime,
they received it last month.
Because we all saw how this regime of terror in Tehran carried out an unprecedented mass
massacre of the citizens of Iran itself.
They had murdered in cold blood thousands of children, adults, and elderly, tens of
thousands were imprisoned, tortured, humiliated, and why?
Only because they asked for a life of freedom and dignity for themselves.
In the war of revival and in operation dogs of war, our heroic soldiers struck a crushing
blow to the Ayatollah regime and its proxies, but the wounded predator did not cease
its attempts to rehabilitate itself for that same goal to destroy us.
In recent months, the tyrants in Iran have been plotting to rebuild their nuclear and
missile capabilities and hide them underground, where we cannot harm them.
If we do not stop them now, they will be immune.
And for this purpose, their representatives in negotiations are trying to buy time,
trying to buy time in feudal and deceitful negotiations with our American friends.
But the tyrants in Iran made a fatal mistake, because the United States does not buy their
lies.
And we, we will not sit idly by while the shadow of annihilation hangs over us, and
therefore we have now launched Operation Roaring Lion, an action that is far more
powerful than Operation Dogs of War, which was very powerful.
We are doing this in full cooperation with our friends in the United States, under the
brave leadership of President Trump.
Together with the United States, we will strike the terror regime hard, we will create
conditions that will allow the brave Iranian people to throw off the yoke of this murderous
regime.
During Operation Dogs of War, I was asked many times if toppling the regime was the
goal of the operation in addition to removing the nuclear and missile threat.
And I answered that this was not the goal, but it could certainly be the result, and
indeed that is exactly what happened when millions of Iranians took to the streets.
And now, now they are given the opportunity to take their fate into their own hands.
Citizens of Israel, like in Dogs of War, also in Roaring Lion, we will all need patience
and fortitude, because there will be costs, and perhaps heavy costs.
But I know what wonderful powers are hidden within our people, what wonderful powers
are hidden within you, citizens of Israel.
Since the War of Revival began, we have stood together, and today too we will stand together
with heroism, in brotherly love, with mutual responsibility.
I ask all of you, strictly follow the Home Front command instructions, because you already
know, these instructions save lives.
Challenging days are ahead of us.
Every military action involves risk, but the risk of not acting is infinitely greater.
Because if we do not act, we will get a nuclear Iran, an Iran with tens of thousands of ballistic
missiles, an Iran that will act to destroy us and be immune to our counter-actions.
As a people desiring life, we have no choice but to go into battle.
Note that this time, this time we are doing it with the tremendous combined power of the
State of Israel and the United States of America.
From here, I wish to address the citizens of Iran.
And while you guys are having fun, inside of your bomb shelters, I will be in Berlin,
at Barghain, partying my dick off.
You, citizens of Iran and the Iranian Army, listen.
You are not our enemies, and we are not your enemies.
We have a common enemy.
The murderous cult of the Mullahs that has taken over you through the repressive forces
of the revolutionary guards and the besieged.
They are the ones who brought your wonderful country down, brought it down to the depths
of despair.
They are the ones who have failed you and your children.
Therefore, in full coordination with my friend, the President of the United States, I say
to you, anyone who lays down their weapons, including among the regime forces, will ensure
their safety and secure their future.
The Iranian people, in all its parts, the Persians, the Kurds, the Azeris, the Balak, the Abkhazians,
and all other citizens of this wonderful nation, this is your opportunity to establish a
new and freer on.
Take your fate into your own hands.
Raise your heads, lift them to the sky, our forces are there.
The free world is all coming to your aid.
Help has arrived.
And I believe the day wh-
So I'm Protas of Stardate Interromper multiple sources where it depends
Also, yeah, you know what I'm gonna say
You know what I'm gonna say so why are we like I'll spare you
Do you know what I mean?
Do they actually kill them?
I think so.
As an Iranian people are just desperate?
Yeah, I know.
As an Iraqi people are just desperate is exactly what I heard back then, you know.
You can be desperate and still be wrong.
That's it.
And if you're judging, uh, if you're looking at past performance, it's obvious that anyone
who thinks that this is the, uh, this is going to yield prosperity is oblivious to
a couple of things. One, first of all, the best possible thing that the Iranian, uh,
the Iranian public that you could do right now is just sit at home for a little bit,
you know, wait it out. That's number one. Number two, let's say
that regime change comes
if that regime change comes and the the popular support is still on the side of
anti-zionism
well that's not going to be enough for israel is it
he's disgusting fat old fuck of course he funded him off
Who the fuck are you talking about?
10 month subscriber?
I'm so confused.
The United slaves of Israel?
What is this?
Israel and full panic mode from Dezgesalvina should have full-blown panigas Iranian missiles fly overhead karma. I don't know if this is new
I was talking to my Iranian cousin who was like the 100 plus kids who die were just collateral.
Also, I don't believe this was from Iran.
Their brains are 100% broken.
No, I've already explained it.
are going to be, guys, the Ayatollah has like a 50 plus percent disapproval rating, okay?
Like by most of the polling done in Iran, he's not a very popular guy.
Now of course, Trump is even less popular than the Ayatollah.
Do with that information what you will.
Trump is less popular in the United States of America than Ayatollah is in Iran. Now,
having said that, what's really interesting is the popularity that Ayatollah has, the popular
base that he has, is also kind of similar to Donald Trump. Because when I talk about MAGA,
I would say 20 to 30% of the American public is pro-Trump, the rest is anti-Trump.
Ayatollah has a similar predicament. 20 to 30% of the population is in the
in the sect in the pocket and, you know, and in favor of of the itola. And then the rest of the country is not so fond of him, right?
right? Now, the reason why I'm bringing that up is because this makes a popular mobilization
or popular resistance, all the less likely, because he has a fairly strong base of support.
The way that people present
By looking at a lot of the people who hate the I told them and they're a plenty right
What they
Fail to factor in and this equation is like the popular mobilization that will happen at the best of
of the Ayatollah or the regime.
I don't know that that's true.
And also, soon they would be able to.
This will cause tremendous destabilization.
The United States, I guess it depends
on what you mean by soon.
Soon it could mean in two years,
but it certainly wasn't imminent to imminent.
Let's, what really led to this?
The protests in late December and January.
President Trump drew a line.
He said, help is on the way.
The Supreme Leader gave an order to crack down
and kill thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of people.
That led to this military deployment.
And then as this unfolded, everything came together,
the missile issue, the nuclear issue,
these nuclear talks, so everything kind of came together.
But this immediate crisis trigger,
and why do we deploy this force?
You can trace it back to those protests
and that massacre, which again,
the Supreme Leader ordered.
And I think President Trump was hoping,
I think he was hoping that-
This is Biden's key guy on Israel, by the way,
Brett McGurk.
Iran was prepared to give up its nuclear enrichment program, but as you and I have been discussing
over the last month, that was highly unlikely.
Iran is not going to give up that program.
It's critical to its own survival, but now its survival is at stake.
It has a way to go, Jake.
There's a lot of unknowns.
All right.
I'm sure we're going to keep having lots of conversations about this.
Brett McGurk, thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
And we are hearing growing calls from Democrats and anti-flow Republicans for a vote on
the president's power to use unilateral military force against Iran without any congressional
authorization. We're going to have a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee who
calls the strikes illegal on the show next. Spring.
Will not be far when Israel. I interrupt you very briefly while you've
You've been introduced in Julie Sirke in their town.
Hamihana Aziza.
Lahezati Saneveshsaz, Fisher Ruyamost.
Coman-
Sorry, but I don't agree with you on this one, Chief.
Is there any precedent for the revelation and empowerment of hardline zealots post-American
bombing?
True.
My mistake.
Or even- or even what country hasn't benefited from a power vacuum that America
created in the country. There are so many famous examples of incredible prosperity that
American decapitation strikes have actually created. I am of course an ISIS supporter.
This is my support.
We are the people of Iran who have done everything in the last few years.
The time of the revolution is near.
I am sure that the Islamic Republic is in a state of displeasure.
My message to the regime leaders, the regime and the security of the country is clear.
You have lost your voice.
Remember Iran and the people of Iran.
Don't forget the Islamic Republic and its leaders.
legal war. We are not going to allow them to use our bases or any of our sites around
the world. I doubt Paul, one single country will rise up and join the Israel-U.S. attacks
on Israel.
Australia's backed it?
Yes, but will they join in? This is the Epstein Wars. Trump has got a reason to stop
the midterms, and Israel has got a reason to stop the October elections as well. This
has got nothing to do with defending the Iranians. And remember, we cannot stop Iran from getting
the nuclear bomb. They've already increased the uranium capacity to by about 50 per cent
since May and they've hidden their capacity in the Isfahan Mountains. We can't stop Iran
from getting the nuclear bomb. But this war is insane. If we attack, we'll have to defend
Oh my God
What the fuck why is she so well read
Like does
She's better at analysis than like 98% of people that we heard from CNN
Israel's favorite news channel
In the course of two days, the rationale for this war is cycled through the enrichment program,
the Freedom for Iranians, and now the ballistic missiles.
It says, if this latest one is true, then it collides with Trump's statements that he
can exit quickly and cleanly.
No, I'm telling you, I think they just want to instigate some kind of popular movement
into the unpopularity of the Ayatollah, and they're waiting it out currently. They're
weighing their responses. If we go super hard, will the Iranian population even choose to
attack the IRGC?
Secretary of State Marco Rubio was able to notify seven of the eight gang of eight members
before the strikes. Democratic Congressman Roe Cowden, the Assistant Secretary of the
Services Committee described the operation to CNN this way.
It's a slap in the face of the United States Congress.
The president has launched an illegal war when there is no imminent threat.
He did not consult with Congress or allow for a debate in Congress, which even George
W. Bush did, unquote.
It is not just Democrats who are expressing anger.
Republican Congressman Warren Davidson, a former Army Ranger who sits on the House
Foreign Affairs Committee posted on X or Twitter, no, war requires congressional authorization.
Let's bring in Senator Tammy Duckworth, Democrat of Illinois.
She sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee and on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
and is also an Iraq war veteran and was among the first handful of army women to fly combat
operations during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Senator, what is your reaction to President Trump announcing the death of Iran's
Supreme Leader?
Well, listen, I'm glad the community is dead.
He ordered the massacre and murder of thousands of people, protesters are protesting for democracy.
My problem with this whole thing is how President Trump has gone about doing this.
He promised Americans that he would get us out of forever wars, and yet here he is
on his own launching an attack on Iran without congressional oversight.
There appears to be no imminent what do you mean? I'm glad how many is dead like you can't
You don't even I'm not saying you have to like I
Told her how many but you can't be fucking flexing even from a partisan perspective
a totally and utterly illegal act of
Killing the head of a sovereign foreign nation state
What are these people doing?
potentially launch preemptive missile strikes. Now there is another source that CNN spoke
with who's familiar with the intelligence who contradicts those claims and says there
were actually no indications that the Iranians plan to strike any U.S. forces or assets first.
Did your committees have any intelligence that would back up any claim of an imminent
threat or a preemptive strike by the Iranians?
No, there's no evidence of any imminent threat presented by the Iranians, and in fact they
don't have the capabilities to launch a ballistic missile at the United States.
They have short and medium range missiles.
They don't have anything that can reach the United States of America.
And frankly, it was President Trump himself who said that Operation Midnight Hammer
annihilated the Iran nuclear program.
So which is it?
If they annihilate their nuclear program, or are they intimately about to launch a nuclear
attack on the United States, their arguments doesn't hold water.
And frankly, I'm deeply concerned that the American taxpayers, and in particular, our
men and women in uniform are going to be paying the price for Donald Trump's recklessness
here.
You posted on X today, quote, by illegally striking Iran Trump at its choice, one he
did not have to make, that puts American lives and national security at risk while
threatening to draw us into yet another expensive taxpayer funded forever war without congressional
approval. He owes it to the American people. He promised he would always put first to me.
Like you guys understand when you say I'm glad how many is dead. He's a fucking ruthless autocrat.
But I just don't like the way Trump killed him. You're not actually making an argument on your side.
You know,
Like people that hear that go wait, what do you mean? We took out a fucking tyrant
That's awesome. Oh
So you're just mad that Trump is the one who did it that you didn't do it yourself
Because you were too pussy to do so is that what it is?
It's so fucking dumb
You're literally saying what he did was awesome I like what he did
I just don't like how he did it and for other people they're gonna listen to that they're gonna hear that and go
Okay, I don't give a fuck. I'm glad he's dead. You said it yourself
Years and Americans became the target of terrorist organizations all around the world
I am deeply concerned that that is where we are when the precipice of that
Alternatively, is he gonna do what he did in Venezuela where he decapitated a terrible regime
but then turn around and started working with the vice president of that same terrible regime.
Is he now going to turn around? Like, oh, God, what if he actually fucking
works with the IRGC now to stabilize the country that that's an outflank? What is next? He needs
to come to Congress, present to us his evidence for that imminent danger. We will take the vote.
We will have those discussions the way that American people voted for us,
empowered us with the responsibility of having that vote. But the administration needs to
to come forward and tell us what exactly is their next steps.
Army veteran and Illinois Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth, thank you so much for your
time.
We appreciate it.
President Mons, I'm demanding a manual ban review for Empress Guards or I'm reporting
for anti-Semitic causes.
I'm even going to submit a government report and open a twitch ticket.
What?
twitch ticket. You're posting that on YouTube dog. What the fuck are you saying? Operation
Twitch ticket. It's so YouTube chat is out of control. He said I'm going to literally
call the internet police. I'm going to tell the government. I'm going to tell the government.
You're going to jail for banning my friend.
You're not even on, you're not even on Twitch, you're on YouTube.
What was it?
Empress Gardens, tell your friend they're a bitch too.
Oh, Empress Gardens got banned.
This is what the chatter is going to tell the US government.
Stop this video.
Insights, anti-Semitism, put BB on CNN, Jessica, what you're seeing is, this is pure justice.
Oh no, you're a fucking idiot.
It's not for oil.
USA produces the most oil in the world.
I don't even know why this person got banned, but it is very funny and you should literally
inform the International Criminal Court.
I stop at the American federal government take this up to the highest fucking court, dude
Israeli court
Mod comment
One is a genocidal dictator, the other was elected president, it's so simplistic and
contemporary that we avoided making these comparisons for being poor.
Like comparing Hitler mostly to Trump and Bolsonaro as a disservice, I am a tanky and
agree with you chattas bro, beg you please read something about fascism.
What?
That's from 2024.
I'm gonna unban this person, they're just fucking annoying, it's fine.
I actually want to keep them banned though because I want to see what the other friend
does.
You know what I mean?
I want to keep them banned because I want to see what the other, like his friend, like
where will they take this?
Do I feel ashamed for profiting off of war?
Oh, oh, I didn't even see that part.
I think they're just a shitter.
Look, ha, 300,000 people left.
is white replacement like they're just a shitter. I don't want to take it to be submitted to
the federal government. So I unbanned the person. Trust your fucking mods. I just want
to see what he says. You know what I mean? I mean they're clearly fucking annoying if
If they're on the YouTube stream complaining, you know what I mean?
I just want to see what their fucking deal is.
Like I want to, I want to pick apart their brain a little bit.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm tired.
Okay.
Anyway, trust the fucking mods piker.
all right if you get to unbanned me ok shut the house in a state department just
announced the secretary of state marker rubio will no longer be traveling to
israel on monday
this following president trump's announcement of the death of iran
supreme leader
in that massive wave of airstrikes by u s in israeli forces the iranians
retaliating with drone and missile attacks on sites across the region and
what could be the most significant conflict in the middle east since
the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.
I'm joined now by retired Army General David Petraeus,
who led US Central Command and later served as CIA director.
General, good to see you.
In Sunday in an interview on WABC,
you predicted that US strikes in Iran, quote,
will not bring about regime change, sadly, unquote.
Regime change is something that numerous presidents have
weighed, and that the CIA surely has gained out.
And obviously, the death of Hemeny
doesn't necessarily suggest regime change.
might just suggest a new head of the regime.
Are there more moderate forces within the rank of Ayatollahs, the Mullahs, or within
the Iranian government who not only could run the country, but who could lead it to a more
less aggressive stance when it comes to the world?
Yeah, I think there are probably.
In fact, Karim Sajapur, one of the sages, Iranian experts, was remarking that the regime
used to be 80% hardliners and 20% charlatans, these are the pragmatists really, if they're
just along for the ride to get what they can get.
And now it's 80% charlatans and 20% hardliners.
So surely in there, there are some who recognize that a country with the second largest natural
gas reserves in the world and the third largest oil reserves and educated population,
but a secular population too compared to others in the great region, that surely
there is someone there who might see that death to Israel and death to America has not produced
particularly good results. In fact, their proxies are all degraded very heavily.
His followers, the shadow its former self hasn't even really done much so far.
And the Syria is no longer an ally. Others are degraded also. So there surely is someone.
The question is, can that be the person who actually grabs the reins of power?
I must say that when I offered that assessment a week or so ago that I certainly didn't assume
that we would have this stunning achievement today, which is to take out the supreme leader,
apparently the defense minister and the head of the Revolutionary Guards Corps and maybe
the president as well and some others, which also is just a reflection of stunning arrogance
on the part of the Iranian leadership.
I think they really were, they thought they were in the clear for another period of daylight
because we didn't go during the normal time.
Almost all of our operations begin in the early hours of the morning.
And in this case they apparently came out and they were even gathering and meeting, discussing
various topics, and that's how the Israeli precise intelligence enabled their superb
military strikes along with our military actions to achieve this really extraordinary
and truly historical achievement. But, again, who will follow? That's the question. And then
also, is there a large number defecting? And could someone then take leadership of that?
The challenge here is there is no Ahmed al-Sharah figure, as in Syria, who had a military force
who was able to take down the hollow regime forces of the murderers Bashar al-Assad
in Syria when Hezbollah and the Iranians and Russians couldn't come to the rescue.
Yeah, I read an analysis of today or yesterday in which yeah, if only we had an ISIS affiliate in
Inside of Iran that we could activate their oppressive regime, but also how worried they are about
US
Intervention because they have seen the chaos that presided after Iraq
Libya
Syria and on and on so you could understand that
President Trump does not seem to be suggesting
suggesting that the U.S. – no, he wouldn't, even if we did have CIA forces in the ground.
I have no idea. But he doesn't seem to be suggesting that the U.S. or the West is playing
any sort of role in trying to help organize the next leader.
Well, we don't know. What we do know is that Assad, for decades, has had extraordinary
intelligence and penetration inside Iran. The first time I ever met with an Israeli
Defense Force Chief of Staff, it was in the Pentagon because they weren't part of Central
Command at that time.
They are now, and we really couldn't go there officially.
And he laid out photos of the inside of the most sensitive facilities in Iran.
They went on, of course, later to steal the nuclear records right out of Tehran.
They, of course, had intelligence that led to the ability to take out over a dozen
nuclear scientists and many of the senior leaders with precise drone activity from a base they
established inside Iran.
So I think there's a big question about do they have something in the mix?
Can they find some leaders and then enough guys with guns?
Because the problem is that the people that usually prevail in situations like this are
not the Democrats on a white horse here, the George Washington figures.
These are the guys with the most guns and the most ruthless of willingness to use those
weapons.
Yep.
General David Petraeus.
Always good to have you on.
Thank you so much, sir.
The breaking news tonight.
Iran's Supreme Leader, dead, killed by US and Israeli strikes on Iran, President Khamenei.
Now calling on the Iranian people to rise up and take their country back will take
you live to the Middle East next.
Bet you can't run a fast as T-Mobile.
Bet you I can.
Bro, it's this kicked off because I mean, it's kind of crazy.
The sheer arrogance from portrays there.
We're just like, wow, these guys are so stupid in the midst of another round of
negotiations that were dumb enough to get together and, and have like a regular
meeting in their own country.
And I guess to a certain degree, it's true.
It is kind of dumb, right?
It is kind of dumb cause like it's obvious that we're going to do this.
But even then, like you shouldn't say it if you're America, you know what I mean?
You should just not be out there saying like, yeah, of course we're going to kill sovereign leaders on their own soil in their nation's capital amidst negotiations.
You know, the very same people celebrating the assassinations I told who was very unpopular
and all but not as unpopular as Trump here would be appalled if Trump got extraditionally
taken out like this tomorrow by foreign entities.
of white supremacist exceptionalism? Yes. Remember to spot the implicit assumption
says Nathan J. Robinson, Israel and only Israel has the right to defend itself. Israel has
the right to exist as an apartheid state. Iran must never have nukes, but the U.S. and
Israel can. Iran's missiles are a threat to us, but not ours to them. The U.S. Empire
will not be looked at in history kindly. New proverb unlocked. Beware of America is negotiating.
Yeah, it's so fucking busted, dude. It's so possible. What is your reaction to this attack on your country?
Thank you. This is an act of aggression. This is an unproven, unborected act of aggression that is targeting innocent people, civilian infrastructures.
infrastructure. This morning, one of the first missiles that targeted Iran, in fact, targeted
a primary school in Minna, almost done in the province, southern Iran. And it killed
more than 70 innocent little girls. Still, there are tens of people.
Okay, but have you considered that like, you know, we were liberating them. We were
liberating the 70 little girls. Is unironically the argument that like Israel and America
is making today. Okay, so this was not the first case. Many other buildings, medical
centers were also hit by American and Israeli active aggression during the course of today.
There are also reports that many senior leaders in Iran have been killed. Does that include
the Supreme Leader. Is the Supreme Leader still alive and is the President still alive?
Thanks to God, they are all safe and sound. Yes, we have had some martyrs, some commanders who
have been martyred as the result of this terrorist act of aggression. But what matters
is that the Iranian nation, our armed forces, our brave armed forces, are taking necessary
measures to defend Iran in the most strongest way possible.
Isn't the truth that you could have avoided this by simply doing a deal with the United
States and saying you would never have a nuclear weapon?
That's crazy.
Bro, they did say that.
Like what?
Oh my god, I hate this. I hate this so much because it's just so fake. Just say
We if media was honest, they would just be like you're you're offensive to Israel. Your existence is offensive to Israel. That's it
Like all of this stuff all the stuff about like how they're trying to liberate Iran bullshit the stuff about the nuclear program
Bullshit
Okay, it's all fucking bullshit. They're like why won't you bend the need to Israel in America?
That's it
Why do you have?
Weapons that can protect your nation's day. Why do you have weapons that present a threat to the existence of Israel?
President Trump was never going to allow you to have a nuclear weapon and there was a chance to do a deal
deal. How many times has Iran said that they would not seek nuclear weapons? Come on. We
made a deal in 2015, but right three days, three years later in 2018, the United States
withdrew from the deal unilaterally. Again, during the past nine months, we entered
into negotiations with the United States. You remember in June, you were in the middle of
the negotiations, and we have always said that Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons. Just
show me one single report by the IAEA that can certify Iran's deviating from peaceful
purposes. That's a big line that has been propagated by the United States, by Israeli
lobby inside the United States for the past four decades that Iran is going to have nuclear
weapon. There is no nuclear weapon. Iran has never stopped to have nuclear weapons period.
But President Trump is arguing that you are not taking the talks seriously. America considers
you a threat. Israel clearly considers you a threat. And you are also it is now obvious
are a threat to your own people, having killed so many people, simply trying to protest and
express their freedom of speech.
That's not true.
Dude, dude, at what point, at what point is this argument rendered silly?
Like, if America kills more people than the number of people that the Iranian government
killed, is that one?
In terms of sanctions, it's already a much higher magnitude of death to begin with.
like what through direct bombing campaigns? Is that when they drop this?
Except I know they don't drop this because they did this with Israel. They said the
same thing about Hamas. They literally said the same thing about Hamas. Israel was
like, we're liberating the Palestinians from Hamas. How are we liberating them by
fucking murdering them directly? When asked why they were doing it, they were
like, well Hamas is killing Palestinians. Okay, well so are you. You're
killing way more Palestinians. Hamas is Palestinian.
Two.
Well, which part of that?
Come on.
Yep.
Both of them.
The European Union, European countries, always regard themselves as the custodian of the...
I mean, let's not pretend that the Iranian government is the government for the people.
It doesn't justify what we're doing.
But like, let's keep that par real.
Brother, what the fuck are you talking about?
This is completely beyond the scope of the conversation.
Okay?
Hello, what are you saying?
How is this even in any way, shape or form relevant to America's first strike against
Iran that took place today?
That only means something if you truly believe that America has a special type of bomb that
they deployed on Iran, and that the schoolgirls that they killed with that special type
the bomb were actually high command IRGC military leaders that were responsible for murdering
protesters in the fucking streets.
Hassan needs to explain this point better.
What are you talking about?
There is no point.
You only bring this up if you want to justify America's actions.
It is utterly irrelevant in the conversation of America and Israel's first strike against
they're on. What more explanation do you want to fucking hear? What can I say? There is no
additional point that I can make here that would like help people understand if they're
just like refusing to comprehend this. It's not. I'm simply responding to the reporter's
question. One doesn't need to be wrong for one to be right. Both acts to be wrong. America's
current actions are hierarchical people. Yes. Obviously no nation state should be killing
their fucking people for protesting. America kills its own people for protesting. We
know this, okay? But it's utterly irrelevant. The reason why the fucking journalists
ask that question is because he wants to justify America and Israel's actions. That's the exact
same reason why the turtles asked the stupid question before that, where he was like,
why won't you concede to America's demands to not have nuclear arms?
Do you think that this reporter is actually doing honest reporting here,
or do you think he is trying to do regime propaganda?
He is doing regime propaganda.
It's that simple.
It's the same principle behind asking Hamas to condemn Hamas in the aftermath of a fucking genocide.
You bring up a Hamas Politburo chief moments after his children were slaughtered in Israel's
hands in fucking Doha, too, of all places, and then you go, do you condemn Hamas?
The fuck are you talking about?
It's an utterly irrelevant point in America's bombing campaign here, unless you actually
are lending credence to America's military initiatives.
You actually think America's bombing campaign has something to do with bringing about democratic
change in Iran.
And if you truly believe that, you're a fucking idiot.
You understand?
Thank you, Open Press, for the 100 Gifted Subs.
No, or logic, that if one country regards another country as a threat, they are allowed
under international law simply to launch an attack.
What kind of threat, come on.
What kind of threat do you think Iran was posing to the United States?
Did we go to the Gulf of Mexico to attack the United States?
They have come from 6,500 miles away to our shore.
They have created so many...
Yeah, alright, you're making too much sense.
Alright, now, enough, enough with that.
Military bases around Iran, and right now, they are attacking Iran.
And you are saying that Iran is a threat to Israel and to the United States?
Well, you're clearly a threat to Israel.
You want to destroy Israel.
Now, President Trump wants regime change.
Why do you say that?
Why do you say that?
Because because you know, come on, please do not change the facts.
It was the Israel and the United States that attacked Iran, not vice versa.
In June, they attacked Iran.
Right now they are telling everyone clearly that we launch an attack against Iran.
It was not Iran that launched an attack against the United States or Israel.
But the position now is that President Trump is clearly after regime change.
wants the people of Iran to rise up and overthrow the government. Do you think that could happen?
That's an illusion. That's again an unlawful act of aggression. That's against the right
of self-determination of the people. The Iranian nation decided 47 years ago to overthrow the
dictatorship that was supported by the United States. The Iranian nation knows how to take
care of their destiny. It is not for any outsiders to claim that they are trying to help Iranian
nations. There are people who saw it, saw it by Iran eyes when the United States tried to help
us by killing innocent girls in Minab and other cities. The junior scholars, they're massacred in
in many cities in Iran.
It's not a black and white situation.
It's a gray area in some parts.
The attack is unjustified.
Trump is doing what he wants to, and so on.
The Iran government is still hurting his own people
pretty hard, or working with Iran refugees.
It's pretty horrible what was happening there.
No, it is a black and white situation,
because if your job is to say, oh, I want to stop
dead Iranians, okay?
If you're saying like, it's really gross
and fucked up that Iranians are dying,
and the Americans traveled 6,000 miles
to go and fucking kill Iranians,
and they're going to continue killing more Iranians as a matter of fact
then yeah
it's actually america's fault
it is pretty black and white
it's actually incredibly black and white
What are you talking about?
That was the kind of head that the United States-
the western progressive movement will not survive. I mean, it's just not even real, I don't think.
I think there is like, there is genuinely no salvation for many people who will always turn
around and go, oh man, well it's too complicated. It's too complicated. Like if you're still saying
that right now. If you're still saying that at this moment, when the two countries that
have conducted this operation are responsible for more death and destruction around the
globe by a much wider margin, regardless of how brutal Iran might be to his own citizens,
you have lost, you're lost in the sauce. Like you will never understand this. Okay.
If your goal is the avoidance of death and destruction and murder, you can't under any
circumstance be like, well, you know, these guys are, these guys are pretty bad too.
I'm glad that they're like, I'm not glad that they're bombing, but like, you know,
something had to happen.
Like, what are we talking about?
What the fuck is this?
And especially considering that like American Israel have been doing this over and over
over and over again to so many countries from Iraq to Syria to Afghanistan to Libya what the
fuck are we doing make no mistake the US Israel war is Iran is a colonial war like the genocide
in Palestine the invasion of Iraq and Libya the incineration of Vietnam and Laos it is
war to subjugate the people of the global south and annihilate their resistance colonial has no
place in humanity and it must be defeated 100 percent there's no other way to read this
I'm not a defender of the Ayatollah, but there's no other fucking way to read what you're saying here
And and it's especially crazy to me that you guys are doing this like
Listen to me, okay
One of the things that I always demand of you when you change your mind
on you know Israel's genocide for example maybe initially after October 7 you were shocked by the the trauma and the violence that you saw unfold on your screens and you were like
how can anybody do this maybe these guys are barbaric or whatever and then slowly but sure you learned about the history of Israel you learned about what Israel was doing
post October 7 and then that caused you to dive deeper into understanding like how the Palestinian resistance formed right
And you changed your mind through that process, and I'm here for you. Okay?
It's fantastic that you changed your mind in that process, but what do I always tell you?
Remember your initial thoughts remember your initial hang-ups that didn't cause you to dive deep into the fucking source material
to develop a broader understanding of why people do certain things because that hang-up if you don't
eradicate that in your mind will come back over and over again same with like
people who are anti Jeremy Corbyn who fell who fell victim to the propaganda
campaign that Jeremy Corbyn was actually an anti-Semite like what do I always say
it's great that you love Jeremy Corbyn now but think about what led you to
believe so easily that you what led you to believe so easily so readily that
Jeremy Corbyn was an anti-Semite and try to eradicate that inside of your
mind. Okay? And the same goes for this. For a lot of people, post October 7, they
were not ready for the conversation that, you know, Israel was responsible for
October 7 due to 75 years of brutal apartheid. And although many people
changed their minds with new information, okay, although many people
change their minds of new information, they still, I guess, did not change the way that
they receive Western propaganda and information about Western imperialist endeavors. Because
Israel was also making that same argument post-October 7. They were saying, we are
liberating the Palestinians from Hamas. It turns out they were just liberating Palestinians
from their own fucking mortal coil, right? And the same goes for this incident. This
is an imperialist war of aggression against a sovereign state in the region. For one reason
and one reason only, it's sovereignty. Because as long as Iran remains sovereign, doesn't
matter if it's a despotic regime that is tyrannical or ruthless to its own citizens, doesn't
matter if it's the most prosperous, peaceful, liberal country on the planet. As long as
it maintains sovereignty and has an anti-Israel position, which is righteous, by the way, it
will always be a threat to the nation-state of Israel, and therefore it will be eradicated.
Okay?
The same exact arguments are currently being deployed right now to justify, to help you
come to terms with what America did.
To make you say, you know, it's really fucked up that those children died.
It's really fucked up that America killed those children.
But don't you think the Iranian government is also cruel and also ruthless?
And that's precisely what you need to fucking shed yourself of.
This understanding that like America sometimes gets a lot of stuff right.
Like America sometimes is very violent, but that violence is done at the behest of a greater
good, right?
In this circumstance, the greater good is obviously overthrowing this despotic regime.
That's what you're doing.
That's what you're fucking doing in this moment.
Okay.
It's not a moment for centrism.
You're not making a profound statement.
You are refusing.
You are refusing to look at the much larger, much more consequential decisions that are being implemented.
Okay?
America did not blow up that school and numerous other targets and kill the Ayatollah,
because the Ayatollah is ruthless to its own citizens.
The Ayatollah's ruthlessness or the IRGC's ruthlessness to its own citizens unironically presents a national security problem for Iran all on its own
Okay, no bro uncommon L we can't ignore the people being impressed by the Iranian regime. They're part of this as well. No go ahead man
Go ahead dialectics you say you can understand both dialectics. No
No, that's ridiculous.
That is fucking ridiculous.
It shows me that there are so many people, even in this community, to think that they're
like anti-war, they're pro-peace, they're fucking anti-imperialist, but they refuse
to comprehend when imperialism is happening, there are many different unique ways of selling
you this imperialism. And you fall in line. At the end of the day you fall in line. You
justify it to yourself.
Iran is a sovereign state, presents a reactive force against America's imperialist endeavors
in the region.
And that is the reason why America and Israel have wanted to destabilize the nation state
for the longest fucking time.
And that is precisely the reason why they're engaging in this destabilization.
precisely the reason why America has implemented sanctions. It's not sovereign though. It's
occupied by the Molas. Man, shut the fuck up. It's occupied by the Molas. Oh,
everything else is pure. What about ism? Okay.
It's ridiculous.
We do not get to dictate the terms of other people's living standards.
Unfortunately for many, you're especially many living in the Western world, we are
so comfortable with that, that we find any and every reason to continue said oppression
and we justify it to ourselves in little ways.
How is this any different than when Israel says, oh well Hamas is very anti-gay.
We have to ruthlessly slaughter them.
That's it.
That's exactly what this is.
exactly what this is. Hamas is throwing gays off the roofs. We have to fucking blow them
up with our homophobia destroying weapons. Meanwhile, the people that are engaging in this violent
act are far more ruthless. This doesn't mean that the IRGC or the Ayatollah is a good
guy. This doesn't mean that they're not ruthless in their domestic affairs and the
the way that they stamp out protest, the way that they react violently.
But if we're talking about overall death and destruction around the world,
it's not even a fucking question who has been responsible for infinitely more
casualties.
If you get mad at the IRGC slaughtering its own population,
You should be infinitely more mad that a foreign alien force has traveled 6,000 miles with tens of billions of
dollars worth of weapons and have blown up a fucking school in said sovereign country
What is this conversation?
Every single argument that the American side has presented is bullshit
They say, oh, Iran won't correspond to our demands.
Iran has conceded to the demands being made on the denuclearization side of things.
Iran has even said, oh, we'll talk in the future about a ballistic missile program change
as well.
They'll say, oh, Iran is actually really ruthless to its own citizens.
That's why we have to do this.
citizens demand they yearn for freedom and that freedom comes in the form of
of hellfire missiles. It's ridiculous.
It's totally fucking ridiculous. I cannot believe that people still in this
community try to come up with any excuse whatsoever that they can lean into.
Oh, two bad things could be the you know, two bad things can be real at the same time. You're not making a brilliant point here
Okay, one thing is worse
Unlimited airstrikes as a foreign nation state on a sovereign people is far worse
First, especially when those unlimited airstrikes on a sovereign people have nothing to do with
the liberation of said people.
And then of course the propaganda kicks in.
The people of Iran beg for American intervention after 20 to 30 K were killed in protest.
This was only way the regime change was going to happen.
Exactly.
did chatter? Too bad things can be correct at the same time chatter? Look, these are your
fucking allies. You understand? People love taking advantage of the information vacuum.
People love taking advantage of the morality vacuum. We have to be uncompromising in moments
like this. You can't cast aside the true escalation of violence in the hands of American
Empire by leaning into these counter narratives. That's what I was trying to stress to Ro Khanna
as well. That's what I was criticizing when the Democrats come out and they're like, well,
I'm glad the Ayatollah is dead.
I'm glad that the Ayatollah was murdered.
I just don't like the process in which this murder took place.
Yes, why do you think I'm defending the U.S.?
I hate the fact that it's happening.
I'm completely against this.
We don't have to blindly support the regime,
support the actual people of Iran.
Yo, I'm not in favor of this broad.
Trying to make a complex problem simple
is exactly the issue it's a privileged take.
You're right, dude.
You know who is making that exact same argument? People devoid of privilege, like Lindsey Graham.
People devoid of privilege, like Marco Rubio.
People devoid of privilege, like Tammy fucking Duckworth.
People devoid of privilege, like Donald Trump.
There is no both sides. There is no both sides here. It's ridiculous.
You just don't wanna fucking say it.
If you understand the nuances and the complexity here,
you would understand that I'm not a supporter of the IRGC,
okay, and it's domestic affairs, of course.
I'm a supporter of Iranian sovereignty.
Let's say this helps Iran, people of Iran become free
and get to live in democracy, everyone's happy.
Would you change your views on US intervention then?
Sure, probably not because I'm aware of American history
if they got one right for once, that would be a shocking change of pace.
It still wouldn't change my perspective broadly on US intervention because I'm
not fucking delusional.
And I've seen this exact same song and dance over and over again.
Okay.
Libya, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan,
everywhere that we have our footprint as,
has crumbled, cratered, been destroyed.
Yeah, it's like a gunshot to the fucking head.
And every time the argument is,
what if this time it's different?
What leads you to believe that?
The favorite quote of a fake Einstein quote that people love using all time is the definition
of insanity is trying to same thing a thousand times and then expecting different results,
right?
Well, this applies perfectly here.
What leads you to believe that this time will be different when every single time
they've done this, they've said the exact same thing.
this time, they're not even trying that hard. You're just making that up in your own mind.
They're not even saying that this will yield a prosperity for Iran. They're not even making
that argument all that much. You just, it doesn't take much for you to believe it, it seems.
It's like the people that kept telling me like, well, Hassan, why didn't you just like
lie about what Kamala Eris' positions were to your audience rather than reflect on them
accurately
You know doesn't matter
The fuck do you mean? Oh, yeah, you want me to just sit here and be like well, you know
America has tried to attempt to liberalize countries over and over again
And it seems like the entire point of that was always of imperialism and the bounties for American capital and international
Capital but this time it might be differently. Why would I fucking say that?
Why would I say that?
It's ridiculous.
What is it?
Tadak Ali News.
Have heard from an Iranian friend that a partner in Tehran has sent her a message to the leftist
and is telling her that U.S. is targeting a number of known leftist homes in Tehran
and elsewhere in an attempt to make sure there's no opposition to their favorite candidate
once they destroy the regime.
But this reveals the degree of penetration by Mossad in Iran. What it also means is that
it is not going to be an easy occupation for the US and it's Israeli buddies. I mean, I
don't know how valid this is, but I will say they have literally targeted the home of
a fucking left figure in Iran who was under house arrest.
So it's not, I don't know how valid this statement is. It's like giving, you know,
my uncle works at Nintendo a little bit, but we have seen, we have seen one clear
example of the the american and israeli bombing campaigns
literally trying to kill an opposition figure to the administration that is
currently living under house arrest
it's all probably and i'm losing my mind like i want to college and the
international race of course with many women my children are on
and they always said every single secular element of the country that is
in cia or massad back is more aggressive towards the west and i told is
that's the other side of the story they don't that's that's
but you're on is never gonna have actual sovereignty it with this initiative
and they're not even hiding it
and there's still dumb cock suckers in this fucking audience being like but
what if it's different do what they bring about democracy with bombs this
time
whatever the
which was not fighting this
whatever the we don't need to refight the whole thing in vietnam maybe that's the
danger but it's not going to happen it's not going to happen from this is going to be a
two month war not a park here's going to be
there it is all willy crystal head of the bulwark
yeah real neoliberalism hasn't been tried real bombing for democracy haven't
It hasn't been tried.
We've been trying.
We've been trying since World War II.
Iranian Ambassador, I would advise the U.S. representative to be polite.
It would be better for yourself in the country you represent.
Let's make a further statement.
Thank you.
I have one word only.
Thank you. I have one word only. I advise to the representative of the United States
to be polite. It will be better for yourself and the country you represent. Thank you.
The representative of the United States is off the floor to make further statement.
Frankly, I'm not going to dignify this with another response, especially as this
This representative sits here in this body representing a regime that has killed tens
of thousands of its own people and in this happen after Saddam was toppled.
It didn't stop many Iraqi soldiers from shooting our RPGs at me years later.
Wait, what the fuck?
Oh my God.
That is shocking.
He's not wrong.
He's not saying, dude, dude, dude, dude.
What the fuck? That is the most like anti-interventionist statement I've seen from an American Democrat,
while also still simultaneously admitting to his service as a war criminal, but still.
Are you kidding me? He's directly fucking attacking people who are demanding intervention
and the regime, the regime toppling. That's, he might delete this tweet, I think.
What the fuck, Ruben Gallego? So what's next? All these wrong war boosters are fine with an
air war. What happens when it doesn't end neatly? Is Trump willing to commit ground troops? The
president owes the American public, eh, that's not great. Bullshit, that guy's on it when it
when it comes to US intervention. I guess the reason why I'm thinking of him being lacklust
there, or my assessment is that, well, one, he's a Democrat and two, he literally was pro-Israel
until he got yelled at.
Why aren't you downtown, I live in the presence of the diaspora? Yeah, let me go to the
fucking Let's Bomb Iran festival.
Every Republican president does this, right?
Every Republican president comes to office, cuts, benefits for the poor, cuts, taxes for
the rich, raises prices, and then bombs a Middle East country.
Ronald Reagan did it, George Bush senior did it, George Bush junior did it, and Donald
Trump has done it.
Now, this is where it gets interesting, Donald Trump is not just alone in that pack
in the sense the Swinso put it mentally desiccated game show star.
It's not just that it wasn't George Bush and Dick Cheney that attacked Iran.
It was the guy from Home Alone 2.
It's also the fact that he ran as the anti-war president, the anti-war candidate, the no
more forever wars, the no regime change wars.
Again, sorry to plug our excellent Zeteo content today, but we just put out a piece
at Zeteo listing out all the times Donald Trump and JD Vance and Tulsi Gabbitt and
RFK Jr. and Stephen Miller and David Sacks, all of these Trump people said,
Vote Trump. He's the guy who won't take us into any more Middle East wars.
Carmella Harris will send your boys to fight and die, Stephen Miller said.
Not us. Donald Trump said there'll be no new war on my watch. He bombed seven
countries in 2024. He started 2025. He started 2026
attacking Venezuela. And now here we are with this major conflict
in Iran. We don't know where it's going to go. And it was all a lie. And I'm
sorry, I've got to say this. Swin said, you know, we all knew. Well,
many of us knew, but we also had a bunch of people on the right and
sadly on the left too, who bought into this bullshit line that Donald Trump would be an anti-war candidate.
He would be a candidate of restraint, of isolationism. Donald the Dove. It was bullshit. The people who fell for it should apologize today or hang their heads in shame
because what Trump has done, as I say, in many ways is worse than even what Bush did.
Bush at least turned up to Congress. Saddam Hussein at least had once had a weapons program that people were worried about.
With Iran, it's completely illegal and unprovoked.
I declared regime change war of choice and freedom of the Iranian people a regional war
for a matter of hours American lives at risk a massive depletion of military soccer on
behalf of Israel most importantly the most profound campaign betrayal in modern US history
It's just really unfortunate how this Trump guy had never been president before the 2020
for election and there was no way of knowing if he was a neoconservative until now.
Switch over to CBS and you'll see but yes I take your broader point it's bad right
now.
Did Randy find reply to Mati Hassan and myself?
You never showed us this.
Dana fact.
We have here somebody who actually did just go vote for Ron Paul, a first time caucus
voter, uh, Corporal Jesse Thorson, who is 28 years old and you were active duty US Army.
What did you vote for?
Uh, Ron Paul.
Well, I'm, I'm really excited about a lot of his ideas, uh, especially when it comes
to bringing the soldiers home.
I've been serving for 10 years now and all 10 years of those have been during
wartime.
I'd like to see a little peacetime army and I think he has the right idea.
You have done two tours in Afghanistan.
You told me you're going to go back for a third tour.
I mean, if you can see your neck right there, what you have on your tattoo, 9-11, remember
in the picture of the Twin Towers, you know, some Republicans out there have been saying
that Ron Paul would be very dangerous for this country because he wants to bring troops
like you back from your post from all over the world.
Well, I think it would be even more dangerous to start nitpicking wars with other countries.
like I ran. Israel is more than capable.
All right, we just lost our tech connection, unfortunately.
Oh, God. Oh, damn. Damn, that sucks. When the connection gets lost like that, that's crazy.
I hate this cutoff, you know, I can't believe it. Unbelievable how that happened. Let's hear
what Jason Crowe is talking about. Let's see what he's saying here that could happen as
a result of this.
Americans are piglets, man. We are literally a fucking nation of cattle straight up. Like
we, what do you say? What do you say to all the fucking people out there that are
They're just like, well, you know, this is actually probably for the greater good.
It's, uh, I feel pretty solid about this stuff.
I mean, Iran is pretty bad actually.
I hadn't really put a lot of thought into this beforehand, but, you know,
maybe the Ayatollah dying is a good thing overall, uh, 93 million people.
Um, just launching, launching unjustifiable first strikes over
an over getting killing children, probably a good thing.
Well, listen, I'm just damn furious, you know.
The man's a five-time draft dodger.
He's an elite.
And I went to war.
I fought with working-class kids.
They're the ones that do the fighting and dying.
And how amazing of Donald Trump to say, you know, that often happens in war, and that's
a cost he's willing to take.
Great for him.
It's not his kids.
It's not his family.
It's not his billionaire donors who are having to go off and do it.
It's kids in towns across the country that have to pick up the guns, jump into the planes
and helicopters and get it done.
And it's kids that are sitting there at military bases in Bahrain, like your video is showing
now who are sitting in bunkers right now because Donald Trump is willing to.
That's cap, by the way.
They're not even sitting in bunkers.
They're sitting in like nice ass hotels.
I don't know if they moved to the bunkers because the Iranians started also bombing
the hotels that they're staying in, but let's be real, okay?
It would take a chance with their lives.
I saw that fucking nice ass apartment that that one soldier was in when he was filling
his base getting blown up.
This is everything that's wrong with our national security infrastructure and our
policies.
Right?
Elites make decisions.
They talk tough.
They pound their chests.
And then everybody else is left holding the bag.
Enough is enough.
Right?
Let's actually have a conversation about what is in our interests, what we're
willing to do with American lives, what we're willing to do with American taxpayer dollars
is Congress that is supposed to have that responsibility, right? I'm not interested in
process arguments, but what I am interested in is accountability. And the Constitution
put that accountability on Congress to take the votes, be held responsible for it, and
to go home and sit in high school gymnasiums and rotary clubs and forums around the
country.
Once again, signs are sounding, Red Alerts pop up across these rows of Ronnie and Missal
Salvo inbound.
It's crazy to be held accountable for those decisions.
So you want to see a congressional vote on this?
Heck yeah, I do.
I think we should go back to DC right now.
I'm willing to jump on a plane in an hour and go home and take up a vote on this because
That is what the American people deserve, right?
They deserve accountability.
They deserve to know who is willing to take chances
with their national security, their kids' lives,
their taxpayer dollars.
Let's take the vote.
I want names.
Fifth Thread, Missils and Drowson,
Dubai, Bahrain, Hittor's, Haifa.
God damn.
Bro, I don't even understand how many missiles they have.
Like the first day so far, the first day is not even done.
It's like half of the first day has been done.
And in that process, they literally have deployed double the amount of missiles, I think
that they sent in the 12-day war.
I guess it's like they've been waiting for this moment.
You know, this is the, this is it.
Any chance this will end once it crashed the economy further?
insurers cancel pauses and raise price for ships in the Gulf and straight of home

BBC says they have 2,000 missiles and more drones and that Israel News reports a few hours
ago they've launched 200 missiles and drones so far.
Oh yeah, a Chinese tourist in Tel Aviv captured the footage of the US military support ship
being hit by an Iranian missile by the way that was real.
Look
What the fuck you for talking about cost when lies are being stolen and now literally is

know are you fucking stupid

Think about it like that.

Al Jazeera confirmed two minutes ago, Israel is starting another round of bombing right
right now.
I
That's a hit. Isn't it? Yeah. Why won't they show the fucking strikes, man?
is old no this is live
Unlike the 12-day war in Iran, which Iran uses a certain segment of its missile force to
retaliate in distinguishable ways.
This is complete chaos.
Many missiles across many fronts, potentially with units acting without centralized authority,
that might be a function of changes.
The IRGC made to its command structure post-12-day war to prevent the paralysis that
seemed to grip them at the time.
The Iranian attacks on al-Franc, especially those attacks aimed at U.S. allies and partners
in the region, is almost certainly a semi-planned campaign to attempt to impose enough costs
on U.S. allies to isolate U.S. and Israel diplomatically.
So far that campaign seems to have, seems to be having a precise opposite effect,
but that may change if this really does last weeks.
Let's see what Sienna is covering, just as.
Another war began this morning at about six o'clock UK time.
We were getting reports that the Israelis had launched attacks on Iran looking as if
if they were intended as decapitation attacks in downtown Tehran, looking as if they were
going after individual people, and that was followed up pretty quickly by United States
attacks that looked like sea ads, suppression of enemy air defences, and that's what powers
do when they then want to take down the air defences of an adversary country and then
move in to work through a target list of attacks. And since then, there's quite
a big target list of attacks in Iran and that list will probably grow in the next 24 hours.
President Trump then made a very interesting eight minute statement in which he made it
very clear that he was going for broke. He was going devoting himself to the destruction,
the elimination of the Iranian government. And that's war. When you're trying to destroy
a foreign government, that's a war. So by eight o'clock this morning, UK time,
had a war in our hands and it looks as if it will go on for a little time yet as the Americans
and the Israelis work through their target set.
Meanwhile, the Iranians have done exactly what they said they would do in these circumstances.
They've gone after other targets.
They've regarded every foreign base in the region as a legitimate target and they've
gone after any western...
Rick Scott of the Gang of Eight congressional leaders ahead of the strikes, but sources
say those lawmakers were not given a full legal justification for the strikes.
What do you think the full legal justification is and should that-
Bro, CNN the entire day has been a penis gallery, some of the worst villains in American society.
It's crazy.
I want to appreciate the president and I want to appreciate our military.
We cut the head off the snake.
The Iran has been killing American citizens for decades.
So finally we have a president who's willing to do it.
And the objective of this was to stop their missiles, they're adding more short and long
range missiles, they have missile launchers, American troops, they've been negotiating
with Iran and Iran, they have the right to rebuild their nuclear weapons and enrich,
they wouldn't stop the missile production, so the person didn't have any option, if
If you want to defend this country, which this president wants to defend this country,
you actually get an option because what they've said and what Ryan has said for decades is
they want to destroy us and our allies.
So I'm very appreciative of what the president did and he has every right to do it.
Every president, since Truman has said they have the right for military action without
a formal declaration of war.
So he's not doing anything different than other presidents.
What would you say to a member of the MAGA coalition who comes to you and says, Senator,
this is now what I voted for.
President Trump said he was going to end regime change wars.
He was going to end military entanglements abroad.
And this is the exact opposite of what he said he was going to do.
What would you tell that person?
Well, what this president wants to do is he doesn't want forever wars.
He's against forever wars.
If you look at what he's trying to do, he's trying to make the world a safer place.
What he did by destroying their nuclear weapons last year, what he's doing with this was destroying
their ability to produce missiles, he's making the world a better place.
What he did in Venezuela, he's making the world a better place.
So if you look at this, Trump, he wants peace.
But we've had a presence of peace, a peace, Coggle, and power ran for decades and
that's got to stop.
We just talked to your Democratic colleague Senator Tim Kaine.
He wants the Senate to return to vote on his war powers resolution, which would block further
use of U.S. forces without congressional approval.
What do you think of that?
I oppose it.
I mean, I want this president to have the power to defend this country.
I was disappointed.
I was – I can't imagine how crazy it was that Democrats wouldn't stand up
to say their primary purpose was to defend the freedom, defend the American citizens.
So I want a president has the power, which he has, to defend the freedom of this country.
I want him to defend us, and that's exactly what he's doing.
So I will oppose it.
So the president said that there could be potential loss of American life in these
operations because that's what happens in war.
Don't you think that if there is the potential loss of American life that Congress should
at least exercise and have some skin in the game to authorize the President to do what
he's doing?
Well, clearly we're going to get briefings, and we should get briefings, and we shouldn't
know exactly what's going on.
They gave us a great briefing after Operation Midnight Hammer.
They gave us a great briefing after what happened with down in Venezuela, a cell with Maduro.
So they're going to give us a briefing and we ought to get a briefing.
But the President has the right to use military action.
I mean a vote though, just up or down.
Obviously you would approve of it, but don't you think Congress should be on record either
supporting continued military action or not?
Every President's instrument said he's got the right to use military force without
former declaration war. So this president is using the same authority other presidents have used.
I agree with him. I'm glad he did it. It's going to make this world a safer place. I mean this, I mean
the Iran has been a unbelievable despicable, horrific regime for decades.
Senator Rick Scott of Florida, thank you sir. Appreciate your time.
Thanks, Shaq.

You're literally sending me the link of a you're sending me the link on

What do you think?
Do you think I will slide to my own speech?
The answer is yes.
I will be sliding to my own speech at Northwestern University.
I will be speaking after sliding.
This statement basically echoes Trump's overnight video address but it confirms the US military still aims to destroy Iran's missiles, its missile production capability, and its Navy.
Ummmm...
Incredible.
Yeah. Maybe I wasn't aware, dude. Chill.
What is this?
War is an easy thing to talk about.
There are not many people of the generation that remember it.
The right Honourable Gentleman served the distinction.
The last one I never killed anyone but I wore uniform.
But I was in London in the Blitz in 1940 living in the Millbank Tower where I was born.
Some different ideas have come in since.
And every night I went down to the shelter in Thames House.
Every morning I saw Dockland burning.
Five hundred people were killed in Westminster one night by a landmine.
It was terrifying.
Aren't Arabs terrified? Aren't these rakies terrified?
Don't Arab and Iraqi women weep when their children die?
Doesn't bombing strengthen their determination?
What fools we are to live in a generation for which war is a computer game for our children
children and just an interesting little channel for news item.
Every member of parliament tonight who votes for the government motion will be consciously
and deliberately accepting the responsibility for the deaths of innocent people if the
war begins, as I fear it will.
Now that's for their decision to take, but this is a quite unique debate in my parliamentary
experience where we're asked to share responsibility for a decision we won't really be taking
with consequences of people who have no part to play in the brutality of the regime which
we are dealing with.
And I finish with this.
In October the 34th, 1945, down to Corbyn in the background, this is a perfect clip.
I have been the former Prime Minister from Bexley and Oldson, it will remember it,
the United Nations Charter was part.
And the words of that charter etched into my mind and moved me even as I think
of them.
of the United Nations, determined to save future generations, succeeding generations from the
scourge of war which twice in our lifetime has caused untold suffering to mankind. That was the
pledge of that generation to this generation and it would be the greatest betrayal of all if we
voted to abandon the charter and take unilateral action and pretend we were doing it in the
name of the international community and I shall vote against the motion.
Tony Benzo, fucking legend of proper socialist class trader, the best kind
can even see a young Jesse in the background him not becoming leader
of their labor party, arguably that the Blair Minneson is Tharmer now.
Yeah.
JD Vanes enjoys a mountain dew alongside Tulsi Gabbard as a pair
preside over the war in Iran while Donald Trump at his beach club in
Florida announces Americans may die from it.
2111 Trump contradicting current president president. Oh, yeah, this is a classic one start a war with Iran
Because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate
He's weak and he's ineffective
So the only way he figures that he's going to get re-elected like Donald Trump in comparison to Barack Obama
It's it makes Barack Obama look like a fucking lion. Okay?
It gives me no pleasure to report this as I have been incredibly critical of Barack Obama's foreign policy agenda
Some of the examples that I use in terms of destabilization initiatives
Ruining countries is directly from the Obama administration's foreign policy Libya obviously comes to mind
Having said that with his dealings with Israel and specifically with Iran
on. Barack Obama is a fucking lion in terms of not being remotely as compromised as Donald
Trump is by the cancerous entity that is also known as the nation state of Israel. Just
the truth. Okay? Straight up. And it is, and I repeat over and over again, it is a clear
indication, if not outright 100% proof that not a single Democrat has talked about going
back to the JCPOA since Donald Trump became president and ripped it apart. Not a single
one. This was the Obama administration's signature achievement of foreign policy, and Israel
fucking hated it, and every single Democrat, every single top Democrat has never turned
around and be like, why don't we go back to that? That was cool. That was good.
Barack Obama's own vice president at the time became president of the United States of America
and did not even remotely consider normalizing relations with Iran because he was a massive
Zionist. That's why I say American foreign policy has always been deadly. It's always
been devastating. And it's always also worked in line with Israel's interest in the region.
But post Barack Obama, when Donald Trump became president, something changed. Israel got into
the driver's seat and started driving the fucking car. And it never went back after Donald Trump.
Joe Biden also continued that completely, entirely.
The Democrats would nominate a president candidate in 2028 who
vociferously condemns Trump's war with Iran by attacking Trump from the right for not finishing
the job. Yeah.
Did you just figure out the possibility of China entering this
complex is they're so heavily connected to Iran through their
oil sector. I haven't heard anything from China and I don't think China gives a shit, I will
be honest. I think China thinks no matter who's in charge, whether it's Venezuela under the
delci, Rodriguez leadership, whether it be Iran under whatever Trump command, whatever
american puppet they'll still get the oil
when iraq
was invaded
when iraq was invaded and america took over the oil refineries
in iraq
they didn't stop
selling oil to China, they kept selling oil to China at the same fucking rates that they
were selling oil to China prior to the American takeover.
They'll come out, they'll condemn the attack, and then that's it, nothing else.
The US is a war addict.
Throughout its over 240 year history, it's probably not even recent.
It has been at war for all about 16 years.
The US is 800 overseas military base in over eight countries of regions.
The US is the main cause of international disorder, global turbulence and regional instability.
What are you going to do about it?
Nothing.
Your goat is live right now.
Is it fucking John Federman?
I will Brian kill me.
Oh, it's Dan Bongino.
Fuck yeah.
But you know, the folks out there who were criticizing him, you have to understand
like he gave them a long runway for diplomacy.
He's been talking about since 2016,
the fact that bombing and taking out and decapitating
the regime is an option.
He gave them a number of opportunities to take an off ramp
and they just didn't take it and now they're dead.
And that's just the facts.
And Dan, we remember all of us remember all too well
the $1.4 billion in cash
that was directly given to Iran during the Obama administration.
These were funds that were unfrozen.
And this was part of the Iranian negotiation at the time.
After he failed to support the Green Revolution on the ground in 2009, which he conceded
was a mistake, but there's been an attempt after attempt and flub after flub.
And Trump said, I'm not going to kick this can down the road.
I'm going to try to deal with this.
Whatever anyone says that is super bold
Yeah, I mean do you have any idea how many white papers in academia have been written about how to
Transform this cauldron into the Middle East into a more peaceful place
President Trump, I think he just he thinks in like a basic kind of SWAT analysis, you know strengths weaknesses opportunities threats
What the Iranians were just too stupid to take advantage of that a basic game theory analyst
they'll tell you, when you're in a position of weakness,
like the Iranians were.
They have no air defenses.
They have a military design solely for regime preservation.
And they couldn't even do that for a day.
What you try to do is you try to mitigate threats
and take advantage of small opportunities
when you're in a position of weakness.
What the Iranians did, and now they're dead,
their leadership, is they exacerbated the threats
and they kicked away all the opportunities every time
they came in front of them.
They were not negotiating from any position of strength,
whatsoever.
Laura, even their proxies have abandoned them.
We don't know what's gonna happen moving forward.
I'm sure there's gonna be something
that emerges from this, and we all hope it doesn't.
But their proxies have been basically castrated.
They had no card to play with,
and they were acting like they had a full house.
It was just bizarre, and now you see what happens.
Second year of war, Pete Hegg.
I guess this is why people are more pliant in general,
they just everybody just lies like the democrats and liberal media lies and they're like well this
was a necessary evil uh even if i don't like the process and then the republicans are just like
the iranians hate negotiating famously like they hate it uh they kept spitting in donald trump's
face every time donald trump was like please please i want to do the order to deal with you
the iranians were like no fuck you suck my dick you're not the real president
Joe Biden is the real president. Just fucking make shit up. You know what I mean?
I can tolerate missiles that that target Americans. I imagine what Secretary of War,
Hegzeff is saying is missiles that target American military bases in the Middle East,
because they do not have, they did not have the power to hit the mainland United States,
It's not even close.
Yeah, I mean, I know what services and open source
and what happens behind the scenes is typically different,
but there's a relatively strong consensus
and it is all open source now
that the Iranians were just committed,
completely committed to enrichment.
They were offered a path many times
to for civilian nuclear program with proper guardrails
and they basically gave the double-barreled middle finger
to anyone who suggested it and said,
no, we're gonna win rich and we're gonna do rich.
Every part of this is a lie.
Like everything he's saying is a lie.
We're not even gonna entertain guardrails.
Well, if you want them to win rich
to the point the Iranians wanted to win rich,
you want to weaponize it.
You're not looking at powering, you know,
a bunch of heated pools in Iran.
You're looking at it to create a weapon.
And even after President Trump decimated
their nuclear program before,
again, this is what I was talking about
before with the point of weakness,
You would think at that point they would have made some major concessions and tried to mitigate
some of the threats and take advantage of small opportunities.
They did the exact opposite.
They basically made no concessions at all.
And President Trump and his team had basically had enough.
You can only offer them food so many times before they throw it in your face.
And now you should have.
And then your message to some of our friends on the right who are saying, look, President
Trump ran on no regime change and now President Trump is doing regime change.
You see the Democrats are picking up on that for 2026 themes.
Your message to them tonight.
Well, it's incredible how the doomers, the lawyers, hasn't even been 24 hours.
It's happened at 3 a.m.
It's not 3 a.m. Eastern time.
Can you give can you give the man a chance to cook a little bit?
I mean, he's he just deposed and decapitated the entire upper level infrastructure
of the Iranian death to America regime.
Maybe give the guy five minutes
before you're already crapping on everything he did.
I mean, who else has been able to do this?
If it doesn't work out over time,
there'll be a bunch of papers and a bunch of talking heads.
I'm sure who will rip it apart.
It's been 24 hours.
Give the guy a chance.
Where's he been proven wrong in the past?
I thought, where, what, do he was gonna break out
after the Abrahamic chords
and after he moved the embassy.
And after he got Maduro.
What, none of that happened.
Give the guy a chance.
He knows what he's doing.
He's surrounded himself with more than competent people.
Give it a chance.
It's only, it's not even been 24 hours yet.
All right Dan, thank you very much
for joining us tonight, busy news night obviously.
And Iran's leadership may be decapitated,
but as Bongino just said,
they're still capable of retaliatory strikes.
Just pan over here.
We've got more interceptors coming off
and more fire coming in here.
So just stay with us here, John.
You see these trails and there's another one coming off.
There's a bunch of them here.
So just take a little wide shot.
Yeah, we got more coming off.
Yeah, just put me here so I can talk here.
And you're going to see behind us, we got to move.
There's a lot of incoming fire right now toward Tel Aviv.
And so just stay with us.
We got to go our security.
So we're going to stay alive with you,
move toward the hard cover here. The city is getting hit very hard.
Joining us is Michael Orrin, former Israeli ambassador to the United States. He spent much
of the day there in a safe room himself. Mr. Ambassador, we're going to get to what the
death of Khamenei means for Israel in a moment. But first, tell us about these strikes today.
Have they begun to slow down at all, or the frequency similar to what they were
like 10 hours ago.
No, they're pretty stable, Laura.
It's good to be with you in Tel Aviv.
The last blast that killed an Israeli woman
and wounded several dozen literally
shook this building to its foundations.
It's how powerful these missiles are.
They are not firecrackers.
They're carrying over 100 pounds, over 1,000 pounds,
of TNT, which is enough not just to blow up a building,
but to devastate an entire neighborhood.
You can imagine this.
And Iran has thousands of these missiles,
which means for Israel, it means that this war was a war of no choice.
So it's an existential fight.
We cannot let Iran have that ballistic missile.
So one of the chat asked me, why are you watching Fox News?
I got tired of watching the diluted talking points on CNN.
It's the same talking points.
One doesn't pussyfoot around it.
So I went straight to the source.
Like there's very intensive fighting or air defense fighting over
We've had one major impact in the city today.
The Iranian foreign minister is kind of reminding me of Baghdad, Bob, a little bit, saying everything's
fine here.
Don't worry.
The committee's great.
Yeah.
These are the law.
Americans and Israelis have failed to, you know, access to, you know, hit their targets.
And now everything is under control.
we almost in less than two hours,
we were able to start retaliation.
Mr. Ambassador, they had, as Dan Bongino said,
so many opportunities.
President Trump wanted to settle this peacefully.
He said so many times and we have no reason not
to believe him, and they wouldn't do it.
They wouldn't give up that dream of enrichment
of uranium.
They wanted to keep it going.
It's always peaceful.
It's just for energy, which nobody bought.
Why do you think in the end they bet against President Trump here?
That when he said he was going to do something, he put that red line down, he was going to
do it?
Because the enrichment for the Iranian regime, like the ballistic missile system, like the
support for terrorist groups in the Middle East and indeed throughout the world, it's
in their DNA.
Basically the United States was asking this regime not to change itself, but
about a quick, trying to commit identity suicide, and Iran was going to be incapable of doing
this.
The regime was incapable of doing that.
And so probably from the get-go, there was no chance of bridging those huge gaps between
the American position and the Iranian position.
Maybe the Iranians concluded, I think, falsely that last summer, during the 12-day war,
when they fired some missiles at Qatar, the president immediately agreed to a ceasefire
and actually tied Israel's hands.
Maybe they drew false conclusions of that about this president's commitment to seeing
through his promises to bring about a change in Iran, to come to the aid of the Iranian
people who have been very courageous in going out and protesting against this regime at
the cost of thousands and thousands of lives.
Well, this is going to be up to them to take it to the next level.
After the military strikes are done, this is up to the Iranian people.
Mr. Ambassador, thank you very much.
with the Ayatollah and as many as 40 of the top Iranian officials did, the key question
does become, who is going to step in? Is there a true reformer waiting in the wings or will
the next guy be even worse? Now, some Iranian Americans and others are proposing the son
of the Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, who has lived in the United States since 1979. And
today Pahlavi posted on X. But does he have the support on the ground that would be
necessary, that remains unclear tonight.
Another name being floated is Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security
Council.
This is the guy we just heard who was like, we will show our teeth to the Zionist entity,
we will destroy them.
He's late today saying, we will make the Zionist criminals and the shameless Americans
regret their actions.
The brave soldiers and the great nation of Iran will deliver an unforgettable lesson
to the hellish international oppressors.
to discuss is Jonathan Schanzer, Executive Director of the Foundation for the Defense
of Democracies, and Ali Safavi from the National Council of Resistance of Iran, his brother
who's executed.
FDD is just straight up Israel, by the way.
Foundation for Defending Democracy, formerly known as Emmett, which is Truth in Hebrew,
is Post-911 Israeli lobby, straight up created by Benjamin Niniahou.
What can you tell us about Larry Jhani?
Well, first of all, thank you very much for inviting me to your show.
When it comes to who will be the next leader of Iran, I think it is the Iranian people
who will determine that today.
It will be Reza Pahlavi.
Reza Pahlavi announced a provisional government based upon her 10-point plan, which calls
for holding three elections in Iran, no later than six months after the fall of
the regime, to elect a constitutional assembly which will draft the future constitution.
what is your listening face?
Are you like that?
And of course that will determine who the next
lady to be.
You're listening face.
People are going to vote for that.
That said, when it comes to Ali Lari, Johnny, he's the regime of stalwart.
He was the head of the Iranian state radio and television for 10 years.
He was a parliament speaker for two terms, eight years, and he was a member of the
Supreme National Security Council for many years.
So he indeed is one of the most hard-line elements of the Iranian regime, and that is precisely
why he was elevated to the position that he has today by Khamenei when he was thinking
of what will happen if in fact some war breaks out.
As to Reza Pahlavi, obviously he is the relic of the past.
His father, people of Iran, throughout Iran, for his brutal dictatorship as his grandfather.
So when it comes to any game plan for the future of Iran, Reza Pahlavi doesn't even
have a seat on the bench.
The Iranian people are not going to overthrow the monist regime to replace it with a dictator.
As far as they are concerned, there's no difference between a crown and a turban.
Jonathan, your thoughts on succession here, because the worst thing that could happen,
one of the worst things that could happen is that, you know, you decapitate this
regime and another regime of future terrorists is in place.
Well that's right, and I think right now, here's what I would look at.
There are three different sets of people that have been cultivated by outsiders.
We got the CIA, you got the Mossad, and you've got the crown prince, all cultivating
people on the ground, hoping that they may be able to step in, but nobody is going
to stick their neck out until they know this regime has fallen.
The thing that I'm watching for right now, though, is whether Donald Trump is
trying to pull off another Venezuela.
In other words, decapitate the regime as we have just seen today, 40 top leaders gone,
and then try to find out who the pragmatists are a little bit further down the chain who
might be willing to work with the United States and to keep things stable until a new
regime can be put into place, voted in by the Iranian people.
I don't know which way we go here, but I don't think we're going to see people
stick their necks out right now, knowing that the regime is willing to kill them.
Iranian Vice President Mohammed Reza Adif informed officials of plans to have him take
charge of the country during wartime, according to a report by state media. That's just
President Masoud Parishkian was either badly injured or killed.
That's the other side of this, which is that they also did a decapitation for the fucking
president for some goddamn reason.
The president and the foreign minister are two of the most like, they're two of the
most like moderate politicians in the entire country.
Stop acting tired fat ass bitch, I've been up since fucking 6 AM and I've been live
for the last eight hours. It's 4, it's 420, but I've been live for the last eight hours.
You know that, right? You want to see how CBS is covering this? Oh, I can't wait to see
how CBS is covering it. Tony double, Tony double.
I joined him in celebrating the death of the authoritarian regime that is, has been
oppressed in the Iranian people. But this is not the way to do it. And I think it's
time to de-escalate, which should be entering into negotiations.
I worry though that the President of the United States does not have a plan for what is next.
Just like he didn't have a plan, as well, where after he removed Maduro from head and started
working with Maduro's apparatus and government, I worry that without a plan, a clear pathway
forward, that either we're going to end up with American troops on the ground,
boots on the ground in Iran, and we need to talk to them for a tax from terrorist
groups that have been proxies to the Iranian regime for decades now, or we're going to
see the president turn around and cooperate with the apparatus that's already there.
Alright, we shall see.
U.S. Army veteran and Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth, thank you very much.
Thank you.
We will be back in just a moment with the latest developments on what is a historic
day for Iran, for the Middle East, and for the U.S. as well.
Stay with us.
Amazing.
Just as the United States hasn't thought that through, I don't think the Iranian opposition
or dissidents in Iran have either.
Robin Wright, thank you so much.
It's always great to have you.
Coming up, why now?
We have new reporting on the threat that the Trump administration claims forced their
hand.
Oh, my God.
Here's the outright lie from the administration that Iran was moments away from a nuclear weapon.
Here's the outright lie from the Trump administration that we will report on critically that Iran
was actually going to attack Israel.
The attack was imminent.
Yeah, this is what it looks like when you have nukes, okay?
Sometimes I look in her eyes and that's where I find the lips of us
When you're out
Man, you wanna know what it looks like?
You wanna know what it looks like when you got fucking nuclear sovereignty?
This is what it looks like
I know, I know, I know
Cause sometimes I look in her eyes and that's where I find the lips of us
Yeah, I invaded Iraq because it have nuclear why not North Korea are you
crazy they have nuclear this meme is so fried dude is so fried here's also John
Mershamer straight up saying the quiet part out loud which I agree with this
assessment nuclear armed Iran would bring stability to the region I think
I think there's no question that a nuclear-armed Iran would bring stability to the region because
nuclear weapons are weapons of peace.
Their weapons of deterrence.
I don't agree with that part.
They have hardly any offensive capability at all.
And if Iran had a nuclear deterrent, there's no way that the United States or Israel,
for that matter, would be threatening to attack Iran now, in the same way that
if Saddam had had nuclear weapons in 2003, the United States would not have invaded Iraq.
And if Libya had nuclear weapons in 2011, the United States would not have gone to war
against Libya.
So I think that if you had a Middle East where other states besides Israel, and this
of course includes Iran, had a nuclear deterrent, it would be a more peaceful region.
Well, camera quality makes it look like it's the 90s.
It's possible there'd be some proliferation.
I wouldn't bet against the fact that maybe Turkey or Saudi Arabia
would acquire nuclear weapons.
But people have been protecting widespread proliferation
for decades now, and it's never happened.
But I think there are two reasons that it wouldn't happen.
One is that the Iranians would not
be able to blackmail anybody in the neighborhood
with their nuclear weapons.
We've created this myth in this country over the past few years
in talking about Iran that any country that
acquires nuclear weapons can blackmail other countries
or use those nuclear weapons for offensive purposes.
We have a lot of theory and a huge amount
of empirical evidence, 67 years now,
which show that no country with nuclear weapons
can blackmail another country as long as somebody
is protecting that country or it has its own nuclear weapons.
And this leads to the second reason.
the united states is going to extend its nuclear umbrella over sort of arabia
and over turkey
the way it extended over germany and japan during the cold war
and we will make it perfectly clear to the iranians that they cannot blackmail
anybody
so they'll be no great incentive for turkey or
uh... for uh... sort of arabia to acquire nuclear weapons and as you know
when you're involved in contact sports uh... it could be very dangerous
and uh... so they live in a dangerous world
and on top of that nuclear weapons are the ultimate deterrent
right it doesn't get any better than nuclear weapons uh...
and of course this is why states pursue nuclear weapons i believe that if ran
had nuclear
iranian state media confirms this
islamic republic state media has confirmed that one of i thought how
many daughters is son-in-law and one of his grandchildren have been killed
I mean, this also makes it probably more likely
that Haman-e is also being killed, but...
Find a man who loves you like John Mercer
loves nuclear weapons.
I mean, he's right.
He's right.
Mr. Real Politique is right.
Israeli minister invokes Amalek,
effectively a call to murder 90 million Iranians.
Itamar Ben-Givir,
Lot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven you shall not forget.
Oh my god.
The article was posted and deleted. It don't matter. It's very likely.
It's very likely true. And even if it's not,
it would have been building the kind of force not seen here in
decades. And today we learned why hundreds of times.
I was so confused why this force was being amassed in the region and I'm like, I'm shocked.
Throughout the region, including right here in downtown Tel Aviv.
Smoke rose above the Iranian capital this morning.
The first explosions announcing to the world the war had begun.
American and Israeli forces targeted Iranian air defenses, missile and drone launch sites and regime buildings.

Iran says dozens of people were killed at a girl's school among at least 200 people

And as night fell, Iranian drones slammed into residential high-rises.
Well, I'm losing my mind, Dejahs.
Like there's an, what can they be getting out of the Bahrain Naval base?
Because the entire, in the last like 15 hours, they have not stopped bombing the
Bahrain Naval base, dude.
They're still, they're still bombing the Bahrain Naval base, okay?
And it's like every, every, every 30 minutes, there's another fucking swarm of Shahad drones
bombing the same crater that is the Bahrain Naval base.
And every other 30 minutes, we see people from Bahrain filming it, going, y'all Ali,
y'all Ali, Allah Akbar.
Do they think Bahrain is Tel Aviv?
What is happening?
It's like they just hate, they just hate the fucking Bahrain base.
They hate it so much.
They're like, nah, fuck those guys.
Honestly, that's the worst one.
I, you know, you got Al-Odeid in clutter.
Okay.
You got numerous targets.
You got numerous targets in Dubai, you know, UAE.
Honestly, fuck Bahrain's military base on my homies hate that base in particular.
And now they've blown up the international airport too. They're hitting the the airport in
I think they're hitting the airport in the UAE as well.

of Hormuz.
To be fair, I don't think Bahrain is controlling the media output.
Israel could be getting bombarded worse than we know.
Nah.
I mean, it's definitely, yes and no.
Yes, Israel's getting bombarded worse than we know, but it's also not getting bombarded
as aggressively as Bahrain because there are so many fucking people in Israel, brother.
They would not be able to shut down the internet.
there there are there would be handcams like there'd be fucking phone footage just like last time

As the day begins, IDF has begun additional strikeways targeting the ballistic missile
array and the aerial defense systems belonging to the Iran and terror regime.
Without any press, which is a departure from precedent.
Now that those strikes have happened, and from now on, you're not up here to be limited.
It doesn't tell me, just some months ago, issued a report stating that Iran could,
if it chose to do so, develop in eight and a half years, up to 60 intercontinental
boosts.
So you're the president.
How many fucking how many hours do you want to just sit there and fucking lie?
Like are the duty I get bored just for the fuck of it like have you know the Muhammad Marandi on or something
You know like have like one loyalist on or something just like just throw it in the pile
Have some fucking fun with it. You know
It's just literally Jake Tapper interviews
Virtually every human being that has salivated at the prospect of nuking Iran
Cycle in like one guy who's just like I actually don't think we should go to war with Iran just one fucking one dude
You don't got one guy
You're not even interested. You don't want to hear from any other voices at all
He just fucking sits there get a guy from Bahrain on

Why are you guys why are you guys enjoying the show like it's fucking fireworks? You know what I mean one guy
Nope

and glasses. Although he does kind of look like Benjamin Netanyahu wearing a wig and a
mustache and glasses, but it's totally a different guy. He's tuning in for Berlin.
Different guy though. Yes, he sounds a lot like he has a Philadelphia accent,
but it's not Benjamin Netanyahu, totally different guy.
Every fucking interview is like,
oh dude, Iran was like seconds away from ICBMs.
They told me, they told me,
they were like, we're making the best ICBMs actually.
What is this?
Image of the year award candidate,
we have more in the next few days,
the minute Iranian missile obliterates
the Jewish ministry of war
in the heart of occupied Yaffa Palestine.
The one thing I picked up on is hours of passing this war,
less and less talk about the iron dome being effective.
Yeah, I have noticed that,
but I also have noticed that the,
by the way, the casualty numbers are fucking crazy.
This is the first day.
And according to, I mean,
one dead, 121 others injured in Israel amid war with Iran.
That is the first day.
That is crazy.
That's not even the full first day.
They are throwing a lot more.
They're throwing a lot more fucking munitions
into the pile.
And on top of that, they're just blowing up the Bahrain naval base,
which is priority target number one.
Maybe you guys are right.
Maybe it's because of the damming operations in the straight of Hormuz.
Maybe that's what it is.
That kind of makes sense.
Cause I can't, they love blowing up Bahrain.
What is this?
How many alive?
titty respecter says, yo, they didn't actually get me hop on for it. He just messaged me,
breaking several heavy explosions and that on now while we missed it.

New Washington Post, MBS, lobby Trump with Netanyahu to bomb Iran behind the scenes of
lobbying alliance of Saudi Arabia's MBS and Israel's Netanyahu urged Trump to level a major
strike against Iran in the days before the president's decision even as Riyadh publicly
advocated for diplomacy.
I don't know if I fully believe that and I am not a fan of MBS as you guys know, but that
seems a little bit of fakery to me.
I will see.
You think Israel is letting some missiles go through to justify more support from the
US like they did on October 7th?
Brother, what more support does Israel need?
Israel doesn't need support at this point if people in the Western world watch
Tel Aviv get fucking cratered. That's not gonna cause them to go. Oh my god
I feel so sad for Israel
Israel started it people are gonna go. Oh, that's oh, that's really sad. That's just so bad. Oh, well, that's gonna be the fucking response
No, also, let's be real. Do we even why are we even acting like we need democracy here?
There's no democratic process. Who the fuck said yes to go into war at the best of Israel? Nobody did.
Israeli police are IDF blocking people to flee.
Breaking Israeli settlers are trying to flee and Israeli police are blocking roads and keeping them as human shields.
I don't know what's going on there.
Oh, by the way, this cell, tough cell, but they're doing it anyway.
President Trump is ending the forever war that Iran has waged against America for the last 47 years
Wow, thank you, Mr. President
Dude, sometimes you got to crack a few eggs to make an omelet. Okay, that's right
Donald Trump is ending the forever wars by starting the forever wars
But actually that forever war is going to be ended by the start of the forever war
Um, thank you. You, you fucking did it. I mean, this one got 600 likes. Okay. They're not even
their base ain't eating this shit up. So I will say another thing. Okay. I will say another
thing. The Persian diaspora, the Iranian diaspora has the same like Zionist attitude
I think will cook them in the long run where they're just objectively fucking annoying
Where they just straight up will be like no you have to understand like if you don't fucking slaughter my grandparents
I will kill myself like you have to you have to slaughter my grandparents right now. You have to blow up their home
They got bad fucking vibes. They have to go like every every time
Every time there's someone of the Iranian diaspora on television. They literally are like, oh
You don't care about me
You don't care about me. Just like you said Israel was bad and it's like how does anyone unironically watch this goober
They watch will ask your mom. She watches with one hand one hand on the mouse and the other hand flicking her own fucking bean, okay?
What do you think the next few days is going to look like now that companies presumably dead?
Do you think the RGC is going to go all out now? They're getting close to a point of nothing to lose.
Maybe. I don't know. I don't. I mean, I assume yes. I think America is going to get infinitely more
ruthless going forward though because let's be real. If Israeli intelligence is not great.
Okay, Israeli intelligence is greatly exaggerated and I do think what is this?
People carry their dogs from a damaged apartment building after an Iranian missile Shrek in Tel Aviv
What you think that's me carrying kaya. I'm actually in Tel Aviv
as you bro, I'm here.
That's his really injured, undergoing plastic surgery.
Charlie Kirk being more leftistism, chatters in here. Yeah, I know.
This is the same regime change will result in a bloody civil war,
killing hundreds of thousands,
creating another massive Muslim refugee crisis, topping a leader.
What do you mean topping a leader, bro? Bro said topping a leader.
He's looking out at us right now. You know what I'm saying?
Anyway, topping a leader is never as easy as you think. And trust me, I have tried topping Donald Trump quite a bit and he has a whole lot of ass.
Okay, as you guys notice as I'm nearing nine hours, I'm like becoming more delirious and therefore things are becoming funnier.

This is the Canadian news broadcast I did.
It's nine minutes long.
We can watch it here.
Hassan Piker is one of America's most popular political commentators
on the left, especially amongst younger people.
He has to do that because affordability is a real issue.
He spends his days online sharing his thoughts and opinions
with millions of followers on Twitch,
an interactive live streaming service.
commentator, interviewer and sometimes reporter.
And while Piker is not a household name in Canada,
his views on top of-
Yo, chill.
I am a household name in Canada.
What the fuck?
Why they got to cook me like that?
Like socialism, Zionism, and imperialism,
threw a crowd when he came to this country
for the first time earlier this month.
He delivered a talk at the University of British Columbia's
Chan Center.
He's consistent with his politics, always sticking up for marginalized folks.
I think that he has a great worldview.
He consistently stands up for trans people, queer community, minority groups.
His presence though, not without controversy, several Jewish groups have accused him of
anti-Semitism, lobbied to have him barred from entering the country.
He was in Vancouver as part of a speaker series on U.S. policy when we sat down with him.
Some viewers have no idea what Twitch is, what streaming is, what you do for a living.
So what do you do?
I do what conservative radio talk show hosts have done for years, but as a socialist.
And you are interacting with people the whole time. Explain that to me.
Yeah, so I try to have a dialogue with participants.
No, it's never going to be a grand fracture in the party.
They're never going to fracture.
So it's kind of like if you ever wanted
to yell at the television at CBC, for example,
and yell at one of the anchors, hopefully not you,
you could do that.
And then the anchor would hear what you have to say
and then sometimes even respond.
So you do this, live streaming eight hours a day,
ideally seven days a week.
What drives you?
I realized early on that I had this world view that I felt like wasn't being addressed at
all in mainstream outlets.
So I thought, I'm just going to be the person that'll do it.
What is your world view?
I'm a socialist, anti-imperialist, anti-fascist, anti-genocide, and yeah, that pretty much
covers it.
Most people who are in the streaming space are right wing voices.
You can't pray on the sidewalk outside an abortion clinic.
All of our scientific institutions have been taken over by political activists.
Colleges and university are run by leftists.
You are the opposite of that, and yet you are wildly popular. How do you explain that?
The reason why I think I'm popular is because I have a commonly held opinion
that oftentimes doesn't get addressed in mainstream resources.
You spoke today to a UBC audience sold out.
You clearly resonate with some Canadians.
What do you think that is? You talk mostly about American politics.
I think everybody around the world, and especially people who close proximity to the United States
of America, like Canada, unfortunately, have to pay attention to American politics. Because
when we say stool looks mount comfortable, in the Y shop, bro, it was.
He's in America. The rest of the world catches a cold.
You've been following, obviously, the Canada-U.S. relations and how they seem to be
Trump has introduced tariffs. He keeps talking about making Canada a 51st state. What do you make of that?
It's not surprising. Trump is very vulgar, and he's very vulgar in his imperialist ambitions.
I don't know if Donald Trump will stop. He has been a little bit more restrained if that's the proper way to analyze it.
Before speaking, I was after.
In the aftermath of the Greenland debacle.
but it almost feels like we just have to keep him distracted like a child.
What do you think of some of the rumblings from Alberta talking about how they want to separate?
I don't understand Alberta separatists at all.
And someone who lives in America, you don't want to know what it looks like when you have no health care that's backed by the government at all.
It's not great. It's interesting to see the same exact separatist movements being implemented in
a western country that's such a close ally to the United States of America.
Because this is what we have done for decades to Latin American countries,
the countries in the Middle East, and now it almost feels like we're doing it haphazardly to
one of our most loyal allies in the North.
There seems to be a crackdown on free speech happening in America right now.
We see student protests.
We see what happened in Minneapolis.
Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air.
Do you worry you could be next?
Oh, absolutely. I'll be honest.
For purely selfish reasons, after Charlie Kirk was assassinated
and the Republicans were screaming bloody murder,
looking to come after every single media figure,
I thought that I would be first to go.
You're a target because you say controversial things.
You have a strong anti-Zionist stand.
You've also been called anti-Semitic.
In fact, the Center for Israel and Jewish Affairs
wanted our government to block you from coming into this.
Enough fucking nuts, dude.
That the Israeli APAC was like,
don't let this guy into the country.
Like that's crazy.
How cocked, how cocked is Canada?
They got their own American,
like their own Canadian version of APAC.
Country.
How do you feel about people saying you're anti-Semitic?
I think it's a horrible smear,
especially because I've spent
my professional media career combating anti-Semitism
as an avowed anti-Zionist.
People have the capacity to see right from wrong,
and people do have the capacity to understand
exactly what's going on in Gaza.
And that gives me a little bit more courage
that I am no longer as alone as I once was.
You also said after 9-11, America got what it deserved.
Can you explain that?
The thing that I was talking about there
was, of course, about blowback.
A concept where there is much academic consensus around,
America's designs in the Middle East inevitably led to a very violent reaction that is totally
unjustifiable as far as the victims of it.
When you say things like this, they're obviously not premeditated.
Do you regret saying them?
It's far worse if I get something wrong on a factual basis than have a moment of
weakness that is either misrepresented or is not received positively by the broadest
sub-sex of American society.
America as you know politically is very divided and that polarization seems to be getting
deeper and deeper.
You have said you consider yourself to be a provocateur.
So are you adding to the problem?
Maybe.
Problem for the billionaire class for sure.
But I don't think I'm necessarily creating divisiveness because my ultimate goal is to
unite people on a class basis because many of the divisions that we experience in American
society, whether it be racism, sexism, homophobia, intolerance of different sorts, I see that
as a weapon that the capital-owning class wields against the working class.
When we look at that polarization, what is the path back?
No, they use your head too many favors that camera angle.
Man.
Back to a shared understanding.
Or is there one?
Absolutely.
Something that I stress always to people
that might think that trans people or undocumented migrants
are the reason why they have.
There was a security guard at the front line
who was telling my friends and I that I
were really concerned about you speaking there,
because the other speakers who had their own speeches
at the Chan Center attracted older audiences,
but you attract audiences of all ages
and they were concerned about something bad happening.
They're experiencing all this pain,
this economic pain, the struggle is that,
yes, this interview went on for like an hour and 30 minutes,
but they cut it down to nine minutes.
Their bosses are not trans people.
Their landlord is not an undocumented migrant.
These are forces of capital that
are playing a major role in their lives,
and that they do have the capacity
to organize tenant unions, for example,
to try to make sure that they have a more just process.
And that kind of accountability and that initiation
of taking power back is very inspiring for a lot of people.
As you look to the future of America,
what does its relationship look like with its neighbors,
particularly with Canada?
Not very good, I'll be honest.
I think that we are a parasitic force on the planet,
if I'm being very critical.
America has always been a dominant force around the planet,
and we have been able to present our intervention
as a necessary evil at times.
I of course was always critical of American intervention,
but I think now more and more people
are coming to that conclusion as well,
especially when they find their nations
in the cross areas of.

on YouTube that I will be continuously streaming on YouTube. You lose some weight, you look
great. I have not. I don't think that's crazy. Okay, more from this angle. Oh, you like the
straight up angle more. People say the up close and personal is not as good. And that's
why I switched it around a little bit. You know what I mean? People say the up close
personal angle is not there. It feels too much. It feels like I'm just like right in your living room
talking to you directly like this.
Will you do larger news days? Is dual stream now ace decision to do this today, man? Yeah,
I thought I'd fire off a YouTube stream as well. I do still think that it separates the audience
unnecessarily. Um, cause, uh, you know, there's 48,000 people in here. There's 20,000 people
on YouTube, but please say the truth. It's $8 for the subscription. You can learn a new
thing. Is it eight? I thought it was six. I thought it was six, seven. Emil Habibi.
Thank you for the 50 gift subs. Um, the straight on camera makes me feel like you're
getting after me or being hyper serious when you do this angle on my big TV my
kids head is still larger than yours that's crazy
it's six on twitch but eight through the Apple store okay so it's six dollars a
month the subscription is actually still six dollars a month people are wrong
You're on mobile. That's why you think it's $8 because the Apple store adds an additional tax
$6 American

Big trust, now I'm saying, yeah, I do.
American adventurism.
What message would you have for Canada?
I was going to say, heated rivalry was awesome.
Did you watch?
Yes, I did.
It was great.
What message do I have for Canada?
As long as you confide in your fellow man
and trust in your power, no world power
can take over your country.
You missed a hundred from open presence open presence. Thank you for the hundred gifted
Sam weighs it on the clavicular getting frame mark by ASU Chad. What the fuck is that?
Also get nukes. Yeah
Senator Tim Kaine of the membrane Tim Kaine of the brain
The anti interventionist Tim Kaine went on Jake Tapper. I guess I must have missed that one
one singular moment where there was a fucking anti-interventionist on the broadcast.
Spinzio, thank you for the five gifted.
What is this?
Okay, dude.
President Trump has advocated all kinds of reasons for this unnecessary war with Iran.
It's because of their nuclear program.
Wait a minute.
Six months ago, he said he had obliterated the program.
Years ago, he tore up a diplomatic deal that was controlling Iran's nuclear program.
He suggested last night the war was justified because Iran interfered in the 2020 election
that he refuses to concede that he lost.
It's to protect protesters.
Wait a minute.
President Trump is sending Iranian refugees back into Iran to face persecution.
If he cared about Iranian citizens being oppressed by their government, he wouldn't
be doing that at the same time.
This was a war without, I can say this, I'm on two committees that give me access
to a lot of classified information. There was no imminent threat from Iran to the United
States that warrant sending our sons and daughters into yet another war in the Middle
East and I'm going to do everything I can to stop it.
Have you seen August 12th thing? Shapiro is giddy. Oh God, of course he is.
Shabbat from Sabbath to the news of what is going on and let's just say this
President Trump is the most courageous commander-in-chief in modern American history. What does he mean? He's returning from Sabbath
Isn't it still Sabbath
Where the fuck is he in the world that it's no longer Sabbath it's sundown no it's not
Is sundown some dummy? Bro? Where is his sundown?
Ben Shapiro lives in Los Angeles. Oh, he doesn't. It's EST. Oh, yeah, that's true. He doesn't
live in LA anymore. You're right. He's on the East Coast. My bad. My mistake. I forget.
He's the LA boy for those of you don't know. I think he no longer lives in LA. He lives
in like Tennessee, I think. I tried to check him. Sabbath is relative when you got your
to get your clicks. No, no, no, he's in Tennessee. That's why you think Jews don't live in the
East Coast. Your anti-Semitism is showing. Obviously, I just came back from Shabbat
from Sabbath to the news of what is going on. And let's just say this, President Trump is
the most courageous commander in chief in modern American history. There is no question about
this. What he just did is the bravest move by a president of the United States of my lifetime,
bar none without a doubt. Hey, obviously, I,
that's all you need to know. The know this is a fucking terrible decision.
You know what I mean? You're, you're aligning with Ben Shapiro.
Okay. What more do you need to fucking know? He's gagging on it,
dude. Oh my God. I love president Trump.
he's the greatest president of all time my commander in chief i love him he is
best commander in chief he's israel's commander in chief
claire for new york call your u.s. senators of revs demand they unequivocally
oppose this war
and do everything they're proud to stop it immediately the learn helplessness
of congress must and
really government
illegal assault on iran
killing unknown members of civilians beginning what could be a long campaign
to destabilize the region, to cause mass chaos and death and destruction.
What we need right now are not lengthy statements.
We don't need procedural nonsense.
What we need is real action from our Congress members to stop this madness now.
I need you to do two things today.
One, call your Congress member and make sure they will vote to support the war powers
of illusion and they will be unequivocal in saying no to a war with Iran.
Two, find ways to get out in the street to make your voice heard to say we do
not support a war with Iran.
So the plan is to relentlessly bomb Iran for like two weeks and then what was the
phase two that Lisa thriving liberal democracy exactly because we've done the
bomb the hell out of them and killed their leaders thing three times now
Iraq Libby Afghanistan were 0 for three.
Like I'm going to be real with you destabilize the hell out of Iran and it just leaves sounds like you just get mega ISIS.
Yeah well
and then sometimes you can get mega-ices to run the country
okay
that would objectively be the design here for the record
person is in severe condition two others in moderate condition
and dozens of others across israel tonight have been out lightly wounded by
uh... some of these
iranian ballistic missile attacks
but really this is just the beginning of all of this as i mentioned we are
now nineteen hours into this uh... latest
conflict between the United States and Israel on one side and Iran on the other.
And both the U.S. and Israel are vowing that they will continue to carry out these strikes
for as long as necessary, something that's going to go on for at least several days.
And Iran has also vowed that its retaliation will bring this conflict to levels not
seen during the 12-day war between Iran and Israel back in June.
We are very much in a much more perilous moment right now in the Middle East, and we're only
beginning really to see the consequences of that latest military action that is now unfolding.
Sarah?
Yeah.
It is, you know, a long way away, and those ballistic missiles often Israel is able to
thwart because of the Iron Dome and other apparatus that exists there, clearly some
of those have gotten through.
now as you have been reporting there are casualties there in Israel. I do want to go now to CNN's
Kristen Holmes who is joining me now from the White House. There are so many questions.
But the one that everyone is wondering now, because after they've seen this, and there
are some people who are very shocked and surprised by this, but there was a huge apparatus,
military apparatus buildup by the United States and the region. So for others,
It is not a surprise that this happened.
It was just the timing of when it happened that may have taken them aback.
What more is the president saying tonight about these strikes and his plans for the future?
Look, the plans for the future are still a huge question, Sarah.
We've heard President Trump now in a series of short interviews as well as posting on
Twitter as social.
In terms of a timeline, it still really remains unclear what the timeline is.
We heard him say at one point he could pull out in two days or this could take
much longer.
I posted this on true social.
Do you miss anything? How the fuck do you have so many viewers? You're so boring.
Sorry. Here.
Let me do what my closest market competitor does instead.
Yeah, based.
Actually taking the eight percent of the cords.
Guys, the elite pedophilic cabal extracting natural resources from the global south nations is actually fucking based.
It's not actually going to help your wallets even a little bit
But you're a bunch of dumb cattle and that force projection alone fantasize about another
third world brown person dying as
We expend tens of billions of dollars to destroy their lives and livelihood and remind yourself of how powerful you are
Now Patrick bet David why because since 1979 when these guys took over
Iran has been chaotic for people that live there. 81% of the people there do not want the IRGC.
I left Iran July 15th of 89, June 3rd of 89, Khomeini died. Not killed, died. I was in school
at Gulbengyam, we're in the streets, I'm trying to find my parents. It was absolutely insane.
Eventually, we did. Six weeks later, we escaped one to Germany. Fast forward from 89 till today.
Now, the Supreme Leader Khomeini being taken out. This isn't like taking out the president
or general of the army, or even the prime minister, or even the pope, you took out the number two to God in their religion.
You took out the supreme leader. This is a statement to everybody.
Brett Burr put out a post about the fact that they took out 40 of their leaders.
Think about what that conversation looks like right now to say, listen guys, you have a couple options.
You can either work with us or you're next. Does anybody want his job? Does anybody want to be supreme leader next?
Because the target's on you. What do you guys want to do?
That conversation I believe is taking place right now, but the world just got safer today
because of all the leaders that were-
He's so fucking stupid, so he's the perfect guy for this moment.
The world's going to be a safer place.
How do the Iranian people feel about this?
Extatic to say the least.
They're dancing, they're parading, they're crying, they're emotional.
You see the celebration amongst women.
Women feel free that finally this cloud that they have over them that they can't
do anything and don't put this on and don't put that on. I mean, this is a massive, massive
moment for them. They've been waiting for this for 47 years and you have to realize
for 47 years we've had a lot of different presidents. We've had a lot of different
Iranian leaders that have tried to make this happen. But the one thing that's very different
is the president. President made this happen. The Iranian people, I wouldn't be surprised
if moving forward in the Iranian community, a lot of the people that couldn't stand
the president because they were liberals or oh my god he saw this he saw that watch how
many Iranians who were Democrats could overnight become Republicans saying I support this man
here.
How do you think this changes the political dynamic here in the United States?
You've kind of seen some wishy washy comments from Kamala Harris from Gavin Newsom yet
I told is a bad guy but this is an illegal war and I don't support it.
While seeing so many, yeah, he, he's spiritually Israeli, um, as a diasporoid Iranian. Um,
It's so wild. Every single one of these guys, every single person you're seeing on screen
talked about how Trump is the peace president, by the way, marriage, maybe finances, maybe
you lost the client, maybe you lost the business and it's carrying all these guys, right? Think
about everything that we're dealing with. So a few days after Supreme court rules against the
president, president, publicly everyone's talking about, you know, you got to get this money back.
And then he goes to the state of the union, calm, cool, collected, has a blast, calling him crazy,
enjoying himself, celebrating with the, you know, the hockey team that just won, talks for an hour
and 48 minutes. And while he's given the speech, this is what we have to realize. He knows they're
about to attack Iran, but no one knows it. I mean, this is not an easy thing to do for a
leader, when a leader is carrying burden, you typically will feel something from them.
You felt nothing.
This is why Iran, the IRGC was shell shocked how it happened.
It's not like they did it at two o'clock in the morning or three o'clock in the morning.
8.15, it's like in your face, we're going to do it when you're awake because we want
you to know.
We went inside, you had a mole, the same way many years ago we've all seen a movie
Donnie Barrasco with Joe Castoro.
I'm going to keep it at about 5.50.
I'm not a fan of liberal interventionism, but there was a reason why it was such
of resilient and domineering hegemonic force on the planet for the entire duration of the
Cold War and certainly after. America is going to find out the hardest way possible what it
looks like when they do this kind of fascist interventionism instead, this in-your-face
interventionism, this vulgar imperialism, because when you don't even leave room for
anyone in the middle powers, or anyone in the, anyone in the periphery, to even assume
that American intervention is going to play some kind of liberalizing role in your country,
when you don't even make that fucking sale to other people, they're just biding their
time until they fucking, you know, until they push back.
That's what I think, because history is riddled with different forms of domination
being toppled, when it becomes an inevitability, when you have no way out, but to fight, people
will fight back, okay?
I think we have horse blinders on, and human life is finite, and we have only our lifespan
to comprehend world events, okay?
We only have our own relatively short lifespans to comprehend how the world changes.
And that's precisely the reason why it's impossible for us to figure this out, okay?
This can't go on.
There's a reason.
There is a reason why liberal intervention and the packaging of liberal interventions
was much more effective.
Going back to a devolved version of intervention like you're a fucking goddamn monarch, we've
seen how that worked.
Eventually a strong enough force will respond to it
Look at the look at Nazi Germany
All clear who might step into that boy. I don't know what it looks like in a nuclear world
I don't know what it looks like in a nuclear world, but was it effective for Iraq? No, no, no
I'm not I'm talking about it. Not as like liberal interventionism was good
That's why I said, you know what my broader perspective on this is, I'm just saying as a vehicle to keep things stable as a vehicle to package your intervention as like a positive thing, a positive force.
America is the world police and that's a good thing.
Like that cell was even conducted by neocons and there's a reason for it.
There is a reason for it.
reason for it. Now, obviously, obviously it was very destabilizing, it was devastating,
it was, it led to so much death and destruction. But this vulgar imperialism, this barbarism
is going to meet a retaliation inevitably.
And however it plays out is obviously going to have certain repercussions here in the
United States domestically it's a midterm year. This is obviously a major
foreign policy action that people are going to be talking about for quite some
time. How does it shape the next few months going into November? Well it
just shows you the unbelievable speed of the news cycle. The news cycle used to
last a while. Just you know just just the other day the Supreme Court struck
down the president's terrace as your previous guest mentioned and then
After that, of course, we have the state and the community participating as a Jew, what do you think?
And, and the excitement about that lasted about three days, and now we have this which is bigger than...
Chatter.
This community is safe for you to participate as a Jew, but if your name is Quantraper...
I don't know if you're gonna have a good time in here, you know what I mean?
That's like one of the most...
Okay, just making sure.
What the fuck is Quantraper, dude?
That's a psychotic username.
What the fuck did quants do to you?
Okay, just making sure, he said.
So this midterm election, but a lot will depend as we've been talking about here, Jesse,
how the situation on the ground in Iran goes. If it goes well that will be a real
feather in this cap to be sure. As a Jew I've been held at gunpoint, forced to
fork over Monday the part of Parkizing Service for 11 months now. Yeah, that's
what I'm doing. Chinese satellite image over the airbase Ali Al-Salam airbase
in Kuwait with a black smoke. This community is against anti-Semitism, but it's also against
design of them. Did they really hit Dubai airport? Or is that fake news? No, they did.
I'm pretty sure. Yeah, they did. They hit Burj Khalifa too? No, I don't think that's
Yeah, I don't think that is correct.
Have you seen rumors on X about BB being unalive? Yeah, right, dude.
Yeah, right.
Can you get the Chinese president on for his thoughts, sure.
Let me ask him real quick.
What is this?
I'm a diplomatic aid of the Sultanate of Oman. My job is logistics. Wait, what? What the fuck?
What the hell is this?
Taking that for two hours, did I miss anything?
No.
Nothing new.
Israel said that they're going to fight back.
I mean Israel said that they're going to do another barrage.
US and Israel are supposed to be attacking Iran together with the IDF.
That's literally a minute ago from CBS.
So I haven't seen anything, but I'm sure we'll start seeing shit.
The Horned Dogs will fall for it.
Iranian women are the Latinas and the Middle East.
It's time to say them.
Oh, God gross.
Do you think Khamenei is dead?
Do you think Kamehameha is dead?
There's a very high likelihood.
There's very high likelihood that Ali Khamenei is dead.
The image is coming out of Iran.
are already unbearable reports of an elementary school struck by missiles
killing those of people with scores more killed around the country. Fearing
chaos in the streets as families run through smoke in search for safety the
United States and Israel have launched an illegal act of war while Donald Trump
and Benjamin and Yau speak openly on regime change. This is what the prime
minister Mark Carney says he supports. He has issued a statement so brazenly
belligerent that even conservatives like Jason Kenney are cheering it on. It's
a shameful moment that buries all of Carney's high-minded rhetoric in
Davos under the rubble, that's exactly right.
These leaders justify this war as serving Iran in liberation, but the courageous movement
in Iran has been fighting tyranny for nearly five decades and is still reeling from the
worst massacre in countries modern history in January will suffer a massive setback
with those foreign bombs.
We remember the disastrous outcomes of previous US-led wars of regime change in the Middle
East, including in Iraq.
They led to hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths, sectarian conflict, and a world
that is less safe, not more.
The current attacks on Iran must stop now before the entire region is plunged into conflict,
death, and destruction.
My thoughts are with the people in Iran and around the world who are watching this unfold
with heartbreaking uncertainty.
Freedom will not come from military intervention by outside powers, it can only come from the
Iran and people at war is not the way.
Unk.cooked. Yeah, it's true he did do that. He did do the classic, he did do the classic
classic like I'm, you know, Trump is a peaceful dove shit. Why haven't you covered a real political
analyst on the strikes?
Your fault. Okay. Can I just be honest with all your regards in my chat? There's literally
no point to start a war with Iran, right? Also, ever.
Bros it Iran, what is he fucking leveling up? He almost said Iran and he stopped themselves in Iran
president
Has to do it you understand that we're not an ally with Israel owned by Israel
Do you understand that so doesn't matter what presidents in office? They're all gonna do it. They have to
They it's not up to them. I don't know why I like you to understand that like wait what doesn't matter who the fuck it is
Biden in it. So it doesn't
It is a DC Biden Biden struck Iran. No, no American president has directly struck Iran
What is this? Asma gold is completely flip-flop on war with Iran 2024. We're too interventionary
We get involved in other people's business. That's a waste of money 2026. I'm so happy that this happened
We're bombing them again. This is just amazing
We play too big of a role in other countries military shit like we're too interventionary
We, we get too involved into other people's business.
Dude, every Trump supporter is like this.
He is such a perfect representation of, of Trump supporters.
Like he is, he is so, he is so perfectly MAGA, like down to the way he looks, the way he
carries himself, his overall disinterest in like reading and learning or even thinking
deeply about any issue.
Like, I already knew what his take was going to be before he even came out with it
cuz trump did it already you know what i mean
it's uh... it's a waste of our money the people there probably fucking hate us
uh... like where's really the upside here right
to stay out of it yet exactly
i'm not saying like we should be totally isolationist but i think that the
level that like that we try to play nation building especially in places
like this like you know
like libya for example back in the day
what the fuck
where are a rock no absolutely not yet it's too much man way too much i am
Actually, I am so happy this has happened. I am just dramatically tremendously happy this has happened
I know that you know, obviously I've talked about it for a long time about how big of a problem Iran is and everything
I was a big supporter of us bombing them before and now we're bombing them again. And this is just amazing. I think
This is how every mega is that that's
We will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate.
He's weak and he's ineffective.
A short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran.
There's something nefarious about waiting until the middle of the day knowing your opponent
hasn't had breakfast to start s**t, you know what I mean?
So the United States has declared war on Iran officially, you know, coming to the
age of Israel who struck first.
The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost and we may have casualties that
often happens in war. There's a lot I could say about that and there's a lot
that's going to be said over the next few days but what I want to talk about right
now is how in this conflict between Iran, America and Israel one of the first
places to be hit with missiles is the Gulf. It's getting a bit too close to
home quite literally because I have family in the Middle East all around
Places being hit their explosions over Riyadh their explosions in my old hometown of Bahrain
Explosions in the UAE is all I can say about that, but I'm gonna just
I'm gonna keep it
Nice for them explosions of a Jordan's why not?
I called up my dad this morning after hearing about the news trying to make sure he's okay
He was sparingly good spirits. I told him never seen any explosions
He said no, how close are you to the American military base? I said he said pretty close. What are you doing?
He said I'm going out to get yogurt
That's the old man then now it was seriously messed up mom and her family have had to evacuate safer areas
And you know, I just can't believe I'm saying about her and get hit with missiles
I feel like we live in echo chambers just walk past an old guy talking to son about Iran is cheering being liberated yikes brother
There's hogs everywhere. It's called hog universality. There's hogs in Iran. There's hogs outside of Iran.
There will always be hogs. The job here is to reduce the number of hogs. It's to convert them from away from being a hog, you know?
It's my old fricking hometown dude.
To help them develop a deeper understanding. There will always be people who pick up on the propaganda even if the fucking propaganda mouthpieces aren't trying to.
that hard. Let me tell you, it's kind of crazy. They're not trying that hard at all.
Up of it. There's American military bases around here and down here. As you can see,
Bahrain isn't a very big place at all. It's a tiny island right next to Iran. Just the
prospect of putting a massive American naval base on a tiny nation right next to Iran
is just ridiculous. How much money does it take to put your entire nation in peril like that?
You know? I know what you're thinking. While I'm out, you are a f***ing meme YouTuber
who is like a piece of s***. It never takes anything to check seriously. Why the f*** do you
want to talk about this s***? Like, so what? Your family's there, whatever. It doesn't f***ing
mean you're an authority or anything on anything. And yeah, you're right. You can click off now.
But, what I do want to put out there is that no one's gonna f***ing talk about the Gulf being bombarded.
No one in the West gives a s***.
How can you explode an entire region and it's just gonna be in the back of your mind?
Guaranteed by next month everyone's gonna be talking about, I don't know,
your MrBeast video, your Netflix show, uh, your Trump tweet or something to scoop again.
They don't even know Bahrain f***ing exists.
And you know, if I can shine a little light on that, you know, little country,
Uh, let me just do some good.
I'm seeing a lot of leftists on Twitter, right?
This is gotta be me complaining about my side right now.
Talk about, ah, people in Bahrain are celebrating their Zionist regime being bombarded by the graceful Iranian military.
And they attach a video, and it's a guy scared out of his f***ing mind that an explosion is happening down his f***ing road.
Why are you talking about-
Okay, there was definitely some people who were celebrating.
Like that man. I feel like a lot of people on not just the right, but the left seat
I thought it was confusing as well Arabs is like this noble savage who is like ready for bloodlust whether it's good or bad
Look, I was confused by it as well
It's not good to fucking be in a in the vicinity of bombing war is their constant state of mind
And this sh** I'm gonna phase them.
There's also Arabs, Palestinians, living under the Israeli occupation that we're celebrating as well.
And you can bomb the Middle East as much as you want.
It's nothing to them.
No, dude.
People are so f***ing terrified right now.
I don't appreciate you painting them like this.
And on the right, no one gives a sh**.
I bet you a lot of people are gonna be like,
Yes, another way we can own the lives by bombing the f***ing Gulf.
Yeah.
It's like, this is a horrible situation for everyone.
I do agree there are people in Iran who are very happy for regime change.
I don't think they want it done by the United States though.
Because let's look at the track record.
Is Iraq doing good right now?
Is Libya doing good right now?
Is Somalia doing good right now?
What's going on in Venezuela, dude?
We aren't even talking about that anymore.
I can't want any regime change, but why do you want it done by the United States?
It is suicide.
Dude, is Afghanistan doing alright?
No!
Just these tiny countries on the Gulf. Yeah, they're not perfect, right?
But like, bombing them?
F***ing come on, dude.
Bahrain is a beautiful country, man.
They just broke my heart seeing it get f***ing bombed.
F***ing gets real when you see your hometown get hit by a missile.
I'm tired of Arabs being the world's plaything, dude.
I'm tired of Arabs being killed.
Anyone else fatigued by Arabs being killed, bro?
I mean, yeah, Iran is targeting US military bases,
but they're also targeting civilians.
A f***ing civilian building has just been hit.
We don't even know why I bet we're not gonna find out. I just know people in the kafala system and the UAE
Foreign workers from India and the Philippines are just fine. Yeah, that was the other thing
That's why in clutter the people that were filming when uh when a piece of the
Intercepted missile was falling and the people that were filming it were were
Pakistani they were speaking in Urdu or Hindi like they were
Those were foreign workers, as I told you.
It's screwed, stuck in a country being bombed, it's just going to be a disaster.
If what happened today is going to keep going, this is going to become a nightmare.
Just don't forget about the Gulf States.
Don't forget about the people in the Gulf States who, as of today, have shed blood
for a war they're not even f***ing a part of.
Stay tuned for Race Guessor 3 with collaborations with Oki's Weird Stories and Ghostgum.
I'll just do a reporting.
Khamenei is confirmed dead yet.
The Iranian TV, Iran confirms Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei killed in U.S. Israeli
strikes in Iran.
Officially Iranian news confirms the leader of the Islamic Revolution.
uh...
i had told us a yet i think i'm in a was killed in u.s. uh... israeli attacks on
iran
al jazeera reports to alikhamina is mine
he would uh... lost to be
uh... given such an end
as a as a lot of all so true vision the arena television announced this isn't
even like remotely cobalt and bro he was eighty six years old okay through
he's uh... i mean
there are
people who view him
in a in a positive way there are people who view him in a very negative way
but at the end
you cannot uh... go away from the idea that
he was to the islamic republic and the islamic revolution he was
the kind of people people literally thought he was making military decisions
when he was alive
okay
but it was going to be around and and you know hitting buttons hitting the
fucking
hitting the bomb tell of the button over and over again is some fucking bunker
the state television
just take a three what was said
uh... well the gist of the matter is that after
hours of following the announcement in reports coming from the united states in
israeli sources
and after the u.s. president saying that the uriens
israel israel is a demonic entity for sure and so is america but israel
when it comes to high, uh, high profile assassinations, they're right.
A lot more than they're wrong.
Okay.
They're very rarely wrong about a high profile assassination.
When they come out and they're super, when they come out and they say,
like, Oh, this person is dead.
It's usually, it's usually true.
Speaking of the context, we know that earlier we yesterday heard reports of
massive explosions being heard in post-door neighborhood, an area in which the office of
supreme leader and the office of Iranian president was looking at initial reports, initial statements
coming from Tehran where- That this dude was straight up holed up in his compound.
Like look at what they hit it with. That's crazy. They straight up nuked that shit, dude.
Good. Yeah, Iran claimed he was still alive. Some some in Iranian news was saying that
he was still alive. Again, 86 years old. 86 years old. It is kind of funny seeing all
the fucking, um, the, the pro IR GC accounts in Europe posting into the abyss over and
over again. Like, no, I fucking heard he's alive.
leader. This is the process that over the past hour, the next few days, we are going to experience,
but no doubt people don't know anything about Iran. I heard people saying the school bombing
had to be fake because girls education is illegal in Iran. For women in Iran have better
education than America. Okay. What the fuck? Iranian women are pound for pound per capita,
educated than American women are that's not even like that's not I'm not even
saying that as a diss to like America's dog shit education quality that is
crazy these motherfuckers think Iran is literally run by the Taliban bro
oh my god going to be in the mood to negotiate with Americans he's going to
be a lot more hardline, right?
Well, absolutely.
Now, with the leader of the Islamic Republic
and the Islamic Revolution killed by the Americans
and the Israelis, the next leader
is going to have to stand still and to be resilient
when it comes to how to deal with the Americans.
And this is one of the issues of how the direction will be.
Will it be a direction towards a revolutionary leader,
a leader who is going to adhere more and more to the Islamic Republic and the Islamic
Republic.
What's also crazy about it is like half the time America is depending on what level of
intervention they're accepting, will either say Iranians are barbarians that must be
bombed or they'll be like, Iranian people are beautiful.
We must liberate them.
They switch back and forth.
They switch back and forth depending on how fucking stupid they are or depending
on what level of intervention is necessitated, what level of propaganda. Okay? It's crazy.
His legacy actually is we are now going to go to an obituary which has been put together
by Victoria Gaetanby taking a look back at his life. Born into a clerical family, Ali
Hamane studied at the religious seminary in Com under the most prominent she is scholars
of the day, including Rahala Khomeini, who would later be the leader of the Iranian revolution.
Influenced by Khomeini's revolutionary ideas, Hamenei actively participated in anti-Monarchy
protests starting from 1963.
He became a leading figure in establishing a new Iran after the monarchy was deposed
in 1979.
When the Iran-Iraq war broke out in 1980, the young Islamic Republic was struggling
to establish itself, both domestically and internationally.
In 1981, Hameneh, a fiery orator in support of Hemeni, won the presidency.
Throughout the Eight Year War with Iraq he frequently visited the front lines, earning
the loyalty of the revolutionary guards.
Iran was internationally isolated and economically devastated when Ayatollah Hemeni died in
In 1989, Hashemi Rafsanjani, one of the Islamic Republic's founding fathers, urged the assembly
of experts to appoint Hamenei as the new supreme leader.
I told Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani that I would not accept this.
I believe I do not deserve this position.
Perhaps you and I know this.
This would be symbolic leadership, not real leadership.
But his leadership has been anything but symbolic.
In the early 1990s, Hamenei focused on reviving Iran's economy.
Iran began to reclaim a broader regional role after American military intervention in Iraq
in 1991 that significantly weakened Iran's arch-enemy Iraq's President Sedeb Nussein.
Is this the first time in recent history that like, a state has just like directly
and deliberately and openly assassinated?
military action, the head of another state, instead of like deposing them or, or, you know,
doing a coup or something, because like obviously, Gaddafi is and Saddam are two examples, but
they weren't like a direct military strike. I don't think, I don't think there's-
How many favored conservative presidents throughout his tenure, Barty frequently found himself
at odds with presidents in a power struggle. Nasrallah was not ahead of state.
faced its strongest challenge.
Nusrallah was the head of Hezbollah, which is a political party in Lebanon, but he wasn't
the head of state.
The country faced socio-political tension and economic devastation as Western sanctions
devastated its economy.
Barack Obama's presidency raised hopes for improved ties.
In 2015, Hamané authorized then-President Hassan Rouhani to sign a nuclear deal with
world powers, most notably the United States, under which Iran agreed to reduce its uranium
enrichment in exchange for the lifting of Western sanctions.
But the U.S. withdrew from the agreement in 2018 under President Trump.
Hamine then directed officials to accelerate Iran's missile and nuclear programs.
In 2020 the United States assassinated Qasem Soleimani, a staunch Hamine supporter and
commander of Iran's Quds forces, further deteriorating Iran's relations with the West.
Amidst the economic crisis, discontent continued in Iran. In 2022, nationwide protests against
Masa Amini's death in police custody, after she was accused of violating the mandatory
hijab laws, were one of Hamanay's biggest challenges.
After the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023, Israel targeted Iranian officials
including its embassy in Damascus, in April 2024. Iran responded by launching hundreds
of drones into Israeli territory. In the following months, Israel assassinated Hamas's political
bureau chief Ismail Haneer in Tehran and killed Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary-general
of Hezbollah, and Iran's most important ally in the region. Iran retaliated by firing
nearly 200 ballistic missiles at Israel, a ceasefire was implemented after 12 days.
Haman-e called for regional cooperation to stop Israel.
The policies adopted by our enemy are to sow the seeds of division and sedition, to drive
a wedge among all the Muslims.
They are the enemies of the Palestinians, Lebanese, Egyptians, Yemenis, Syrians and
Iraqis.
Trump's fled up again after protests broke out in Iran in December 2025, first against
the plummeting currency, then anti-government protests spread across the country.
President Trump said he would attack Iran if it executed hundreds of protesters.
Washington began a rapid and large-scale military buildup in the region, and Ayatollah
Hamenei warned that any military conflict would not be contained within Iran's
orders. To anyone who seeks to attack, the Iranian nation will deliver a strong blow.
Americans should also know that if they start a war this time, it will be a regional war.
Weeks of diplomatic effort to de-escalate followed with Oman mediating three rounds
of indirect talks between the U.S. and Iran. Iran had proposed a deal authorized by Hameneh,
but on the eve of further talks, Israel and the U.S. attacked Iran.
With the assassination of Ayatollah Hameneh, Iran now stands at a historic crossroads, facing
a future without the man who had guided the nation through turbulent times for decades.
I've got Ali Hashem, our correspondent, who's reported extensively from Iran with this in
the studio.
I've got our Tehran correspondent, Tahira Sadi, who's joining us live.
Yeah, it's true.
Haman A didn't die after a court trial for a severe domestic repression as many Iranians
have wanted.
He died by bombs from Donald Trump, Benjamin Niniaho, which is what the nearly 90-year-old
man who spent decades fighting America and Israel by many accounts wanted.
straight up 86 year old guy was in the fucking front lines and he they gave him a fucking
martyr's death 40 days of public morning announcing Iran after
Haman is death according to state media is that real it doesn't matter whether Haman
is dead or not what matters is how insane it is living in an era where one country
can assassinate the heads of other states with total international impunity the fact
that this president is now fully normalizes fucking nuts. I've seen the videos of people
celebrating Tehran, not my place to tell them whether to celebrate or not, but I think this
raises a significant question. What happens if some day the leaders of a democratic post
IR Iran fall out of favor with Israel or the US as the Shah did? Why hasn't there
been any proof presented? Brother, what are you talking about? Even the Iranian state
recognize it.
He it's just like.
People will never learn.
They will never learn.
Okay.
Those who toppled the statues of Saddam.
Those who toppled the statues of Saddam themselves said many years later, what the fuck?
This has been a disaster, okay?
What do you think happens if the Iranian state falls?
I've spent the last couple of months trying to spell out what kind of disaster will
will befall Iran. Iranian people deserve sovereignty. They deserve dignity. They deserve to have
whatever government they want to. American bombs will not allow the Iranian population.
American bombs directed by Israel will not allow the Iranian population to get this liberal
secular democracy that they wish for.
Still out there and that's going to be highly effective when it comes to the
trajectory of Iran's behavior for the years down the road.
Now, Ali, you heard to him that he's talking about, you know, the legacy,
what he, what the Supreme Leader is going to leave behind.
He's going to leave behind a sleet behind a symbol.
Now we were talking about this very briefly just earlier.
Has Donald Trump made him?
He's a desperate but something about a man who survived multiple imprisonments tortured by Savak
went to the front lines defense country against Saddam's invasion funded by the U.S. by the way
survived an assassination attempt at paralyzing for life
and died being the lone force in the way of U.S.'s really hegemony in the region is admirable
yeah I mean he was a real fucking he was
he was I would say he was far more brutal to his own people than he was to his enemies
but you know there was any amount of pushback towards his enemies in the region was still
still welcomed, let's be real, especially considering that his enemies were far more ruthless than
everyone else. Having said that, you know, the notion that this will destabilize a country
or it will like, it will collapse the state, whether you think it's good or bad, which
I know is not good. It's bad. Okay. Not a good thing at all. It is a very bad thing
to destabilize Iran and and chop it apart and balcony, Balkanize it and reduce it to
unlimited sectarian conflict. However, the notion that like, Oh, wait, what is this?
You are biased, you wish there will be chaos but is not USA brought freedom with bombs?
You just envy, what?
Yeah they did, now there is freedom and will be elections what do you mean?
You're joking right?
Is Nico cooking you?
This has got to be like someone larping, like as a dumb guy, right?
That's not.
Cook, Nico cook.
LARP.
Okay.
Okay, anyway, the point I was trying to make is that the idea that like, oh, the Ayatollah,
the Ayatollah and the decapitation strikes will collapse the nation state because it's
like it has no contingency plans whatsoever, is hyper reductionist.
And it straight up, it straight up does not understand that like countries that exist
in the periphery, especially ones that are sovereign nation states have contingency plans.
If that was the case, they would not be pummeling Tel Aviv.
They would not be striking all of these other Gulf nations that have American bases
right now because we found out about the Ayatollah's death right now. Iran for the last 12 hours
of their fucking bombing campaign have been completely aware of the Ayatollah's death.
You know what I mean? Like they knew they were still business as usual operational.
It's very strange when people look at the situation ago, like they have this like Avengers
ass take like Marvel ass Marvel cinematic universe ass take
or they think oh bad guy died it's over like good guys win that's not how this works
Who was the guest? I had Jeremy Skelan in the morning and then Rokana in the afternoon.
Oh my god, how can people be this brainwashed, have some dignity thinking, criticize?
By the Iranian media reported it, let's see. The supreme leader of the Islamic revolution
was martyred at their workplace in the leader's residence. They were engaged in performing
their assigned duties and present at their workplace their office in the Mormon of martyrdom
and this cowardly attack occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning. Media outlets affiliated
with the Zionist regime and regional reactionaries have repeatedly claimed that due to the fear
of assassination of the leader, the revolution lives in a secure and hidden location. Their
martyrdom at their workplace once again proved the unreality of these claims and
the enemy psychological warfare and demonstrated that they always stood fearlessly and
Courageously against arrogance among the people and in the trench of responsibility
Well this day what happens it was fought while I don't even know I don't think it was a hominé that had the fault well
Why the fuck was he at his residence? I don't know man cuz he's 86 years old and fucking obviously
Was was looking forward to it. I don't know
Bahrain is arresting people who are celebrating the Iranian strikes, cyber crime, taking legal
action against a group of individuals who expressed in a circulating video clip their
support for the hostile acts to wash the kingdom of Bahrain, to which the kingdom of Bahrain
is being subjected.
See I told you there's fucking people who are celebrating in Bahrain.
There's a Shia population.
But in any case, America's collapse of like Saddam or even Iraq is very different.
America's direct military intervention in Iraq was much more comprehensive.
It wasn't just like a decapitation strike and then that's it.
Iraq is not Iran.
Iran has a much more sophisticated and much better trained military than Iraq every day
Iran has designed its entire network of defense and its contingency plans against exactly what
just took place today. Who knows what happens going forward? I can't make any predictions,
right? But I'm just simply telling you that if you think that, like, oh, the AYATOL is dead
and people are celebrating and then all of a sudden it's just like, boom, regime is done,
liberal, well, welcome liberal democracy. That's not going to happen.
I think this is good for them
around be better now. Yes. Just
the cruelty of Saddam and they thought that this was good. I mean there were
people who participated in taking down the Saddam statue and for years and
years Americans loved talking to Iraqis who were like oh man Americans are
coming here welcome welcome peace peace peace you guys are gonna liberate us
you guys are gonna liberate us and then have them when enjoying fucking ISIS
bro like the fuck I'm not half of them what do you think happens with violent
military intervention what do you think happens in a power vacuum
when I was I was six when the US invaded people were happy they said we would be like Germany
or Japan after World War two but soon enough they realized how stupid they were yeah America
don't do that no more, okay? And if they didn't do that to Iraq to design a
bulwark against Iranian intervention in the region, they sure as shit are not
doing it to Iran. You know what I mean?
America doesn't do that kind of a Marshall plan style redevelopment project after destroying
the country any longer.
As the old America, it's much more effective and much cheaper to just destroy the country
and rip it apart and let everyone else in the region deal with it.
of millions of people displaced.
Also we don't know where this goes because America and Israel have said that they are
going to continue blowing up Iran.
And as I have said earlier today, it kind of feels like they will increase the dial
of cruelty that they subject the regular Iranian population to and continue punishing
them for, I guess, not destabilizing the country hard enough or fast enough.
Because right now, the first wave of attacks was limited, limited for American, you know,
intervention capabilities.
Because if given the opportunity, America could have done a shock and awe style bombing
campaign in Iran, they didn't do that.
There's a reason why they didn't do that.
I mean, they still blew up a school, mind you.
They have to.
They have to get their licks in.
They have to fucking kill some children.
They just, they can't.
Like if it's America and Israel we're talking about they have to kill school children. That's a given, but
The reason why they kept the debts to you know 200
As opposed to 2000 or 4,000 or 10,000 in the first round of of bombing campaigns
was because of what Donald Trump said shortly thereafter. He said, it's time for you to
take matters in your own hands, go out in the fucking streets and take control of the government.
If Obama did this, we would be playing Resident Evil.
I think you might be a little confused.
You've lost the plot.
No, I'm telling you what the government of the United States of America and Israel are
both saying.
They're saying go out to the fucking streets, take matters in your own hands, fuck the government
up, it's your government now.
You know, put your hand in the fucking, put your hand, go out and pull all the money you
can from the banks.
Their money is your money.
Okay?
It's much cheaper to get the Iranians to do this rather than expend billions of
dollars more in in munitions with no real way to control wherever the popular
resistance goes. I know Iran wasn't under the Soviet bloc but do you think
America would have been able to carry out the attack of Soviet Union still
existed, genuinely is crazy how a nation is able to blockade entire
countries or kidnap and kill the heads of state without any
repercussion. With Iran? Yes. Iran is a unique country unique in the in the
sense that they have cared about maintaining sovereignty more than anything else.
They are famously anti, uh, getting any help whatsoever from other regional partners at
most they've worked with Russia from time to time. And even then it's like fairly limited.
Um, they're very stubborn. They're very proud. It's, it's weird to talk about this. Like,
uh, like I'm, I'm, uh, approaching it with the Orientalist framework, but they
quite literally did not want Soviet help. As a matter of fact, they slaughtered a lot of the
Soviet-aligned Iranians that played a big role in the Iranian revolution.
Because if you were to bracket off like the different political formations in Iranian society
historically, there was a fairly large contingency of communists, trade unionists, socialist Iranians,
and they played a major role in the popular revolution. They played a major role in the
Iranian revolution alongside the clerics, the Islamists, and the Islamists basically put them
in prison shortly thereafter. And then they completely eviscerated the remainder of that
movement with the Iran-Iraq war, especially because some of the secular forces then aligned
with, aligned with Iraq. And that slaughtered the rest of that movement.
There are still some, but it's much more, you know, it's a much
tinier movement in the country.
So I will just say, as far as like Soviet intervention or Soviet aid in Iran, they've
had plenty of opportunities to get Soviet aid, and they've chosen not to.
So I don't know how much, how different things would be with the USSR still being around.
is more socialist than Cuba, my boy. What?
Iran famously played the USSR against the US during the Cold
War before the revolution, chatting out to be insulting,
but check out the Wikipedia page on Iran. Also, the Shah
fancied himself as socialist. Okay.
I don't see what options Iran has here in the long-term. Israel's been resupplied.
And can withstand them for now? No. It depends. It depends on how what the Iranian stock
look like the office of the supreme leader in iraq is the assassination of khamenei will mark a new chapter in the history of
Shiism the pure blood of the site will surge like a gushing spring and uproot america's ion expression crimes
Considering that Iran has been able to strike Tel Aviv in the first day this time around
I'm not so certain that the Israeli government has the capacity to withstand a long and
A long bombing campaign
Well, what do I know?
Do you think China will play a more role?
I mean, China is going to have a limited role that it plays with like its targeting systems
And maybe some, maybe some missiles potentially.
What? No, Benjamin Niel has not been injured.
Dude, what are you talking about?
Nothing I've seen indicates that that is real.
Given the intensity of this bombing campaign, in comparison to the 12-day war, all I will say is,
The 12-day war took a lot out of Israel's defenses, but it was nowhere near as successful as the first day of the bombing campaign this time around.
It's much more ferocious, much higher frequency, much higher intensity, much higher success rate early on.
It's just entirely dependent on what Israel's reaction looks like, how much success they have in targeting where the missile launchers are, and being able to successfully blow up the missile launchers.
Israel's first salvo also was nowhere near as aggressive as the first salvo that they engaged in the 12-day war, where they basically took aerial superiority.
They destroyed a lot of the anti-aircraft systems that Iran had, and then were just consistently flying over Iranian territory, and that allowed them to do more precise striking as well.
So they didn't do that this time. They didn't have their drone manufacturing hub in Tehran like last time around.
around. That was a much more complex, much more sophisticated operation as opposed to what they
did this time around. Even though this time around there's a lot more American assets in the region,
the strike, and Iran. So, so far Israel hasn't done too much. That doesn't mean it won't.
We'll see. Without a doubt, Homeini sideline led to some liberals when it got into power,
but what about the argument that MEK aided the Balthasarok in the Iran-Iraq war? The
state ideology of Iraq was better for workers, but the invasion was totally unjustified.
I'm sorry, reading the horrors in Iran-Iraq war, it shivers down my spine. World War
one brutality with modern weaponry I'm not that I understand I'm not like a
fucking MEK supporter or anything yeah that's why I said the Iran-Iraq war
completely calcified the the death of the socialist movement the left-flank
movement in Iran that's why a lot of the Iranian anti IRGC people are
are oftentimes just like liberals. And yet, murdering Khamenei has not paralyzed the
iris military response, which had been far more robust and more complacent in the early
part of the 12 day war. It's a trove for Trump who loves the trophies, but not affecting
the iri the way Nazaral's death hit Hezbollah. Yeah, they also destroyed Hezbollah's
striking capabilities, and also Hezbollah is a paramilitary group built on top of an active
party in a country that is not sovereign, that doesn't even have anti-aircraft defenses.
Iran is a sovereign nation state that has designed its entire missile production capabilities,
its missile launching capabilities against exactly what is happening currently.
I think what will happen is that even if the United States is able to kill illegally Iranian
leaders, the next generation of Iranians, the Iranians that did not see American atrocities
in Iran before 1979.
Iranians that did not understand why their parents and grandparents were anti-American.
Those Iranians will take over. Now they understand why American government is an imperialist,
vicious government, a government that attacks other countries and kills little children.
Then they understand they're fighting the Epstein class that either rape little girls
or bomb little girls. This is the government that we are witnessing. We are going to
fight back against that government and they're going to ensure that the Islamic Republic of
Iran will live many years after America destroys itself.
I think slow down at all. It doesn't seem like Iran is keeping up with the same accelerated
pace as earlier today. I don't know. I don't think they're like striking
Tel Aviv is hard right now, but who knows.
My parents, Shia, are saying Iraqis are going to have a coup d'etat because of this war.
Yeah, there is a pretty significant Shia population in Iraq as well.
Brothers on, I'm scared.
Will Cubans be next?
Will our leader be the third victim?
I'm worried for us Cubans.
I mean, I hope not the U.S. Department of Defense Alert system is instructed personnel
Northcom not to wear uniforms in public. Jesus.
in the area and simply lash out wherever it potentially could and that I think has a
really good meaning now and may also suggest how desperate perhaps what remains of the
Iranian government indeed are. They've fired an enormous volley here, essentially put it
themselves with their backs against the wall in the region. And what comes next in the
days ahead is essentially a test of what they have left, whether they have survived
here, and quite how this fast-changing situation leaves who that leaves in charge in Iran,
sir.
Yeah. What you're saying is absolutely true about the attacks on some of the other
places in the Middle East, including the UAE Bahrain, there will be no love loss from some
of those governments and people after civilian areas were hit by Iran.
Nick Peyton-Walch, thank you so much.
We'll see how that all unfolds.
We are just at the beginning of this perspective now from former deputy director of national
intelligence, Beth Sanner.
you just the what are you what are you what do you make of this move by Iran to hit all
of these other places not just those who are attacking Iran which is the United States and
Israel but to go after Bahrain to to strike the UAE to hit residential targets. What
does that tell you about a their capabilities and be their mentality right now.
So this was obviously an Iranian plan to hit all these Gulf states, even places that don't
have U.S. bases.
And I think that they are fundamentally misreading the Gulf and they are fundamentally misreading
us.
So, you know, their intention here was to get the Gulf states to, you know, scream
and say to the United States, please stop, please stop.
You know, we can't take this.
This is bad.
But instead the opposite has happened and the Gulf states instead are rallying around these
actions and saying, yeah, we cannot live like this anymore.
I don't think that's the case.
I don't think that's the case at all.
I think they're just like literally looking to cripple all of the American infrastructure
in the, in the bases.
Readings are actually benefiting us.
The Saudis have always been at odds for a very long time with Iran.
But it is significant that the UAE and others are now in a potential similar position because
of the actions of Iran and its response.
I do want to ask you about what the president has been saying.
He talked about asking the Iranian people to rise up and talked about regime change.
The president has said that these strikes are necessary because Iran posed an imminent
threat to the U.S.
We have spoken with sources who have told us that the intelligence doesn't really
back that up.
put it all of this into perspective for us.
Right, so I mean, there are a couple of issues here
is one, what is the justification for this activity?
And I think that, you know, it's really difficult
because I think everyone who knows anything
about the Middle East knows that if President Trump
could succeed on creating a stable
and prosperous Middle East,
the realization is now and has been quite clear,
but that is not possible.
Does this CNN bro?
The power is in power.
But to actually do this,
you need some justification under international law,
or at least that's how life used to be.
It's questionable whether, you know,
the international law works that way now,
but there is as far as I know,
really no good evidence that there was an imminent attack.
And I think when, um, one of the other guests mentioned that, you know,
there were reports that Iran was going to strike the Gulf States. Yeah.
I suspect there was a report that said that in the contingency of the,
I'll be honest. This is America. This is,
this is the American media behemoth in full swing.
A lot of younger chatters are getting like a fraction of the taste of,
of what it was like in 2003 pushing this narrative very subtly,
It was even more aggressive because because imagine if the the administration
Wasn't the Trump administration, but instead was like a lot more competent and a lot more devious and also cared to like try to make it
Justifiable act at all
But I guess people were also not as dumb as we are now
Because it doesn't take much seemingly for the American cattle class to fucking turn around and be like
This is good. This is good. I'm fucking
I'm happy. This is so bad. He's baby happening at this hour. But yeah, the, the, the, the
way that the media has universally snapped into place, like, like, this is it. This
is what we do, baby. This is what the American media is here for. They just straight up
snapped into action cnn cbs abc nbc fox news all in unison looking at their audience's
interest in specifically tailoring the message to whatever corresponds to their audience's
interest you're gonna hear about how uh... you know not woke the iranian government
was from liberal media and how uh... you they're gonna woke a five this this bombing
campaign you know what i mean also one thing that i haven't noticed at all from mainstream
news, and I don't know if you caught onto this, not a single piece of coverage about the children
being killed. Not a single moment from CNN, from CBS, from ABC, from NBC, none of them have covered
that the schools that were blown up by American bombs with Israeli hands or American hands,
we don't even fucking know. Not one. Now ask yourself why. If you're a news outlet and you're not a
biased propaganda organ, why wouldn't you cover that? I cover every aspect of every conflict. I
look at what the Iranians are saying. I look at what the Iranian opposition is saying. I look
at what the IRGC's organs of propaganda are saying. I look at American mainstream media,
full spectrum coverage. And yet these people choose not to do that, because what they omit
is just as important as what they say. They barely even talk about the death toll from
the first day of strikes. The overwhelming amount of coverage is dedicated to how good
this actually was. And if you're liberal, there's a little bit of condemnation. There
There is a little bit of condemnation, they'll give it a brief moment, they'll say, yeah,
well, I guess Trump the mad lad did it, right?
They'll say, I don't like the way he approached this.
I don't like that he didn't follow a process, but let's be real, he deserved it, right?
Why are you so upset?
It was so successful, love.
Successful for who?
for whose purpose? Successful how? Define success. When you say this was successful,
what do you mean? And I need you to be deliberate. I need you to use exactly how I need you to
use words and tell me exactly how this was a success. Okay. What is its front page
on AP Reuters near times of most major publications.
Do you want it in military strategy?
Do you want it in diplomatic sense?
I want it from your perspective.
You as an American citizen, if you are even an American citizen,
So a person from Iran that lived through that and is celebrating it being over is somehow
hogged so if two kids president was removed he could go home to Turkey he wouldn't be
happy such a cuckboy.
Brother, I don't know if you know this but America did try to do this to Turkey and I
was very critical of it and I still am critical of it to this fucking day.
hello yes I would much rather have sovereignty for Turkey as much as it
can have given that it's a NATO country anyway and it's an imperialist
lapdog as opposed to an American fucking puppet
What the fuck are you talking about now explain to me how this was a major success.
Why would you ever be critical of dictators being removed because I'm not a fucking moron
because I've lived through this already with mom or good Duffy in Libya.
I've lived through this with Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
I've lived through this with a Taliban in Afghanistan.
I have at least a little bit of working knowledge in American intervention in the fucking region that I grew up in
Because I wasn't in a fucking coma for the last 25 years
There's never been a point that there's never been a moment of success that you can fucking point to
there I back down from my stance. RGC announced that the most massive and powerful offensive
operation in the history of the Islamic Republic of Iran's armed forces begin to
say shortly gets Israel and US bases. I mean, Elant, they say that last time too. They said
that when the fucking Ayatollah was alive. You know what I mean? Like last time in the
12 day war, they said that too. And I don't know if this is posturing or if this is
actually going to be real stick the rolling kebab, buddy. What kind of dis is that?
We really need to do CI history lessons more often for chatters.
It's not the CI history lessons.
If you weren't a fucking potato for like even the last 10 years on the fucking tail end
of american intervention and adventure is in the region you would be
you would have enough information
i mean look at what i says
you know i mean like
so don't say it was a monstrous tyrant who committed genocide is the kurdish
people
and the marsh arab's
and it was still disasters to invade and remove the quality of
leadership is nothing to do with the justification for aggressive intervention
yes
yes
especially because
the intervention is never done to actually plant democracy. That's not a way that a large
superpower operates. That's not how democracy works either.
True, but they do have significant amounts of munitions left over. A thousand missiles
or drones. We shall see just passing it along. Yeah, I just, I'm just saying like they say
that all the time. We'll see. We'll see if it's real or not. It could be. They said that
when the Ayatollah was alive and now the Ayatollah is dead. So maybe things will change. Who
knows? It's just crazy that people will be like, like it's, it's, it's crazy because
they go, nah, Afghanistan is one thing. Iraq will be different. It wasn't different.
Nah, Iraq is one thing. Libya will be different. It wasn't different. Nah, Syria is different.
It's not different. So why the fuck do you say this time it'll be different when talking about Iran?
It's clear that they're lying to you.
You know, they're just fucking lying and this time the craziest part is this time
they're not even lying that well. Because I remember the sophisticated media strategy of like
trying to target each individual affinity group with specific messaging, even when the Democrats
were upset with Joe Biden potentially pulling out of Afghanistan. On the one side, you had the
war mongers for the Republicans going, these are barbaric apes. We can't leave this fucking
place at all. If they do, if we do, then they're gonna come in, they're gonna kill us for
our free speech or whatever the fuck. And on the liberal side, the pro interventionist side was
angry at Biden and we're saying, well, look at all the women that are getting educated in Afghanistan,
they will no longer be able to go to school. Like there was a feminist case for maintaining American
occupation in Afghanistan, okay? Nowadays, they don't even do that. Trump just comes out and he's
like I don't know I was bored I was bored I had told her whatever the fuck is
name he called me gay I said you write poetry you're dead now and everyone's
like making up their own minds at this point like the propaganda apparatus has
gone on autopilot motherfuckers are making their own minds up about why
this is a good thing is crazy Trump will just be like I'm bored of peace just
Like I said, bored of peace, more like I'm bored of peace.
I'm doing it, baby.
They literally came out and said the government, the Trump administration is ending wars, okay?
Is ending fucking wars by ending the 47 year war?
here i said if iran did not get back and established deterrence it would only
involve the designers
and they would continue to war until the assassinate common a iran is just now
confirmed they have this logical result of three years of strategic patients
the entire reason the israeli in u.s. regimes did not dare attack and
assassinate top iranian leaders before and try to collapse the state and
nation is exactly because they fear the response
after the assassination of suzlain mani which led to not a single american
israeli being killed not even a foot soldier that fear was broken it was
decisively broken after october seven
they kept bombing iranians in syria
and there was no response except by hitting some empty buildings that was
telegraphed in advance
after that they decided you know what these red lines are bullshit the iranians
have no red lines
we can do whatever we want to them and they just do nothing
that's what strategic patients actually means
they do nothing
so they assassinated nazar ala
and again nothing happened some empty buildings got hit again
so they directly bombed iran itself and assassinated their top military
leadership along with thousand Iranians including babies and children and what
did they do in response they killed like 30 rando elderly okay that that part is
insane all right I'm skipping that why would they not keep like that's you're
talking about 30 elderly people that were that were killed Jesus fucking
Christ squirrel holy shit
oh
Anyway, why would they not keep going with that exchange ratio wait we killed your entire military leadership in Azarala
And you hit some empty buildings and got some rando rape settlers. Oh, yeah, yeah
Anyway, the fucking screed might be insane, but the truth of it is in the heart of the message.
Which is, strategic patience and Iranian restraint has always been met with a violation of red
lines.
There was a red line that Iran had established with its axis of resistance deterrence mechanism
from Hezbollah, to the Houthis in Yemen, to the numerous groups that exist, like the IRGC
was in operation in both Syria and Iraq.
And basically the reason for why that resistance network existed was so that if the Palestinians
were struck in the ways that Israel did, if the Gaza Strip was invaded, then they
would all come down on Israel.
They would make it virtually impossible.
They would punish Israel for killing the Palestinians.
And they didn't do that, as Bullah did to a certain degree.
But they did not do that.
Now, did they refuse to hit Israel?
Did Iran refuse to hit Israel in that process because they were selfish?
Or did they refuse to hit Israel because they had some strategic patience?
Or did they refuse to hit Israel because they just did not have the munitions for it or they
were too fearful of the retaliation?
I don't know.
But if you ask the Americans, which are being led by the Israelis, and I think the Israeli
intelligence is sometimes good, and in many instances they just like greatly overestimate
their capabilities, I think it's the last part.
They think the American government and the Israeli government think that Iran does
not have the capability of providing a military deterrence.
It's never going to end in a positive manner.
America has shown time and time again, and I'm not saying this is a good thing.
I don't agree with this.
I don't want anyone to die.
But America and Israel has shown time and time again, especially in this menor region,
the only time they back down is when a bunch of fucking corn fed young boys and girls return
home in coffins draped with the American flag in coffins draped with the Israeli flag.
That's it. There is no way that you will ever get America or Israel to back down. I am not
saying that that's a good thing. Okay. I want to make that very clear. I don't want
see anybody die. But the reality of the matter is the only way that America stands down and
decides the cost that we are incurring is too much is when the penalties are far too severe
at the domestic level to deal with, okay? Because the reality is, most of this system
that we have in the Western world is not designed around doing the right thing, right? It's
not. It's not. It's not designed around doing the right thing at all. It's designed around
ensuring that the capital owning class in key sectors continue churning super profits.
And therefore, the only other mechanism of pushback is the public pressure.
Organizing, fighting back, applying as much pressure as possible.
If you don't do that and you think, oh, well, this system is inevitably going to course
correct? You're wrong. It doesn't. Now, process takes 20 fucking years of throwing bodies into
the pile over in Oregon. The global war on terror cost the American government $8 trillion. Hundreds
of millions of people at that at this point have been displaced, removed to their homes,
maybe not a hundred million, but you know, tens of millions of people have been displaced,
millions dead through sanctions and also through direct bombing campaigns, okay?
But on top of that, on the American side, on the American front, 14,000 troops died
over the course of, over the course of, you know, 20 plus years. 14,000 Americans
died and far more Americans killed themselves every single fucking day.
Okay?
The number of non-combat veteran deaths is always and has always been and will always
be far higher than the number of combat casualties.
Okay?
22 veterans a day killed themselves.
There are a shit ton of veterans who are homeless.
There are a shit ton of people who still have crippling PTSD, crippling and debilitating
medical issues, a consequence of their service. This is what we did. We did that for 20 fucking
plus years. Trillions of dollars spent. Someone made a fuck ton of money in the process. It
just wasn't you. It wasn't your brothers. It wasn't your sisters. It wasn't your cousin.
your uncle, someone else did. But the only way it came to a close was when
America decided, all right, we've had enough. We've raped the land for as long
as we possibly can, just as we did in Vietnam, just as we did in Afghanistan,
just as we did in Iraq, in every other country that we've intervened in, with
with different versions of intervention.
And we're still reaping the rewards of our military endeavors.
I mean, this past year, how many fucking veterans hit the family annihilator button?
Did mass shootings, acts of terrorism?
terrorism. There's a fucking Afghan veteran. There was a child soldier, the CIA groomed
from the age of like 14 that shot two National Guardsmen in the nation's capital in the fucking
head. One of them died. One of them just received a purple heart at the last day of
union. That's another byproduct of American adventurism in the region.
We're just fucking up our country. We're fucking up every other country even worse than we're
fucking up our own country. And all these fucking capital owners are generating tremendous profits
the entire time. And there are still motherfuckers to turn around and tell me, no, this time is good.
this time is good. No, it's not good. It's not good, man. It's never been good. And it's certainly not
good for you. So what the fuck are you saying?
Has been killed. What's your reaction? Great. I mean, this guy is terrible. He's evil.
But that doesn't mean that it's legal or constitutional what the president has done.
I mean I'm not against regime change in Iran.
I just want to make this here the case that we should risk a lot of American lives to
achieve that.
and a quote that the Ayatollah has been killed.
My iPad crashed.
Thank you all my combat vet
and I hate how you talk about us,
but you're so damn right.
I got regent this snap because I'm a vet.
First of all, I think I'm pretty nice about veterans
in comparison to, I would say some of my counterparts.
Okay.
This is a vet agnostic community.
There are plenty of vets in here.
Okay.
There's a reason for that,
because I'm not one of these like troop exploder,
I'm gonna fucking spit in your face when you come back
from overseas type leftist.
And many other leftists yell at me for that reason.
Reuters confirms the veracity of the RGC statement.
Iran's biggest offensive operation
history of his armed forces will be launched in moments towards Israel and the US bases
the RGC says. Yeah, that's that remains to be seen. Um, you wouldn't have this opinion
on IDF vets. Yes, I do. I literally do. You're wrong. I do. Why is this such a fucking shot?
I've had idea veterans on this fucking broadcast, man. I've interviewed them. Why are you
every fucking time, every time this conversation takes place, you're like pfft, I bet you wouldn't have this kind of take on IDF veterans, and she's like, no I do actually, I do, god damn
There has never been a revolutionary movement that has succeeded that did not directly recruit
from the formal imperial forces or reactionary nationalist forces.
You are fucking delusional.
None of you know how to hold a gun.
Okay?
Shut the fuck up.
please. That's it. You can't even talk to your fucking Uber driver when the Uber driver
is delivering your chicken tendies to your home and you're over here been like, yeah,
fucking dude, I'm fucking chill of it with my burr hands, dude. Yeah, fucking pigs.
Okay, brother, good job.
You got this, all right?
I treat people like they're people, okay?
That's it. Like there are gonna be fucking assholes plenty of hog vets and I shit on them all the goddamn time
And then there are leftist vets who are trying to repent for their actions
This is something that I've been incredibly consistent on from the beginning of my career
It's almost like you have a consistent world view and acknowledge that service members are subjected to the same material conditions as the rest of us that push them into military service in the same place.
Yes, I know and everybody gets so fucking mad at me.
Anyway.
What Twitter said Kai died is this real it's obviously not crazy shit no of course not dude
the fuck it's Twitter why would you believe that anyway or the fuck was I there was another
thing I was gonna say I can't remember any longer because I went on the same fucking
ran about the same fucking rant about the veterans again. Yeah, well, we'll see. I don't
I don't think the IRGC is going to carry out a fucking devastating counter offensive, but
who knows?
Um, Los Angeles is a huge Iranian immigration population. They're rallying and praising
Trump for taking out the I told him the streets LA is so pronounced. Even CNN is covering
it. This shit is always trotted out as a justification war. Who gives a fuck that
a refugee diaspora committee in the U S to have it. He said dictator tabled over
you doing regime change wars as favors the ethnic constituencies. How does this
help the average American worker. I mean, that's a somewhat right wing approach to this,
but it's kind of not wrong. You know, I've said something similar in the past as well.
It's like, well, I'm an American citizen. I don't want my fucking tax dollars going to
that shit. Okay. How about that? What are you going to say now? You know, I'm kind enough
to say we shouldn't deport you, but how about I don't want my tax dollars going
What's up? Why do I have to do that?
Why do I have to get engaged over there? That's fucking bullshit
Just Iranian populations outside of the Middle East you see the gathering there behind her Julia. How is the Iranian community responded?
This gathering has only grown Jessica over the past few hours
Since we've gotten here it has amassed a large number of people and the celebration is
is striking. We got here just moments after initial reports, initial rumors of the death
of a Ayatollah Khamenei had just started to trickle from Iran to this diaspora community
and people were jumping in excitement, hugging each other, crying, saying that basically
they've been waiting 47 years for this very day, just to tell you, that is the reason
so many of them have come out here today. I want you to hear from one of them specifically
his thoughts right after learning that the supreme leader of Iran was there.
When is the last time you saw people in Israel and Iran dancing on the streets and
excitement and when is the last time you literally every other pro-israeli rally?
What dog you are at the way it's Beverly Hills like what are you talking about you are
We're at the pro-Israel rally too with the same exact gear.
Who are you guys fooling?
Like, bro, dude, Americans are so fucking stupid, they go, oh, these guys are Iranian.
Obviously, they hate Israel, except now they love Israel.
Look how crazy it's like, no, those guys are always pro-Israel.
These guys have never not been pro-Israel.
They're the most pro-Israel motherfuckers in Los Angeles.
Have you ever heard of a country coming out and dancing because they're excited that foreign powers are attacking them?
Also, that's every diasporoid!
Again, that's like every diasporoid.
As a matter of fact, this past week, a bunch of Cuban American diasporoids literally tried to take matters in their own hands.
They got armed, they stole two boats, okay, they had 10 total people, they were going
to go five and five in two different boats, armed to the fucking teeth with like weapons,
munitions, explosives, all that good stuff.
One of the boats broke down, so they packed all of the dudes into one boat, all 10 of
them.
They got on the boat from Miami and sailed in the direction of Cuba.
They got a mile off the coastline of Cuba, the Cuban Coast Guard approached them and
the Cuban Coast Guard was like, what the fuck are you guys doing?
And they opened fire on the Cuban Coast Guard and then the Cuban Coast Guard turned around
and fucking killed four of them and then arrested six of them.
Some of them were injured and they were taken to a Cuban hospital to get the best
kind of medical service they've ever experienced in their whole lives, free of fucking charge
because that's just communism, baby.
Those are fucking diasporoids.
Okay?
As a matter of fact, it's part of the reason why America loves bringing in some of the most
reactionary force from the country into their country so they can justify whatever kind of
destabilization initiative they want to do later down the line.
You're there playing your role.
Your reason why you're in the United States of America is for this reason.
So you go out like the donkey that you are to be like, yes, we are bombing Iran.
I hate it.
I am Persian.
Yeah, we will have QB Day in Tehran one day.
Now the name of like he's making it seem like this is a totally unique predicament like I'd like we're fucking
Like we've been comatose for the past fucking
Every waking moment of American history like oh my god. I can't believe it. You mean to tell me
That there's another person doing standpoint epistemology to justify American intervention and American imperialism
What in their home nation that they fled?
Wow
You are so special. I've never seen that before. I've never heard that in my life, bro. Thank you
Yeah, there's one fucking diaspora community that never gets this coverage you want to know who
the Palestinians. Okay, notice how there's never Palestinians in United States of America or
anywhere else in the western world that ever gets this kind of coverage when they're talking about
Gaza. I wonder why. I wonder fucking why, dude. Why so mad, bro? What do you mean? Why am I so mad?
What are you fucking stupid or are you not paying attention?
Oh.
Is that he would then lead a temporary government
and hold elections in Iran, hold a referendum in Iran
so that the people could decide what would come next for their nation.
Yeah. And so many Iranian people hoping for
for regime change and that they can take back their government.
A lot of questions about how that will happen, if it can happen.
Julia Vargas-Jones, thank you so much. We really appreciate it.
Thanks for that.
I
Run as a fucking monolith we have hogs machine them right now. I know no country is a fucking monolith
They seem so happy though let them have fun. Yeah, you don't have to live with these guys
So you have no idea what it looks like. Okay, they were having this much fun during Israel's reign of terror as well
All right, that'll be all for today. I'm so fucking tired. I'm sorry
That took a lot out of me chat
That's all I got
Obviously I'll be back tomorrow
Covering this once again
We have 12 hours treatment, so only 10 hours and 41 minutes.
Which as you guys know, is weak sauce.
Weak sauce.
It's half day Hossie, baby.
See you tomorrow.
