I watched my life flash before my eyes
Or at least there's one huge place
We know that the fire was us
Again one and drone pilot
Has died your boss
Again, one-man drone pilot, cash-tank dumbass
I need to get my kid from school
All I've got to see is metal
It's not the kind of head inside
When a black man cuts me out
And all agent steps out of the van
Mixing and all, I'm in a nice cab
And I'm going to a Sunday campaign
At least I wasn't deported by the man
Run woman, Ice agent, hashtag go boss
Run woman, Ice agent, hashtag go boss
The guy made up by a woman CEO Oh yeah, it's how she had work
His real story got only from the devil's level man
Thank God the IDF has kids still dressing up
We'll continue on in the Iron Man
It's not the kind of guy we'll remember in life man
Don't you know the world's inherently violent
That's why we need more weak men drawing pilots
where you are in the world with some fucking stuff and I'm broadcast live from sunny california
resources. We're live and live and I hope all the boys, girls and babies are having a fantastic
month because it's a beautiful day today. It's a wonderful day. That was Vika's music, more
women drone pilots. It's Monday, Monday, Monday, Tuesday, 10, 59 a.m. Monday, March 2nd,
2026. We're live. We're alive and we're in hell. You already know what it is.
is obviously things are not great in the world,
but things are gonna be great,
regardless because we're live and we're alive
and you know how that goes.
This part of the broadcast where I tell you
about my personal news about what's going on
in the world of the Son Haas and Abbey Piker
in between the time period
where I press the stop shooting button
and press the start shooting button
to help me God, that's what I'm gonna do.
What is happening?
fucking with one of my monitor. One of my monitors is just like shutting on and off
pretty aggressively today. Uh, but, um, did you put a light just for Kaya? Yes. Uh, I
did. I just filled file for a Merrill running my tiny Nebraska town. Thank you for being
inspiration for many like me. Hell yeah. You look chatter monochromatic if gay. I don't
know what that means. Anyway, we're live. We're live and it's time for the personal news.
And as far as the personal news goes as part of the market, wait, what the fuck? I got
to fix this goddamn monitor. Now, holy shit.
I
Anyway CIA hacking yeah
He's chair Morgan us all right folks folks folks folks folks
Personal news wise into the broadcast last night and it didn't really do much hung out with my family a little bit
it, hung out with my family a little bit. And that's pretty much it. Honestly, my life
is awful. As you guys know, Courtney Love reposted you in the mail edit. Hell yeah.
Um, yeah, Courtney loves a Hassanavi head. It's like not even a joke. I knew that.
But that's not surprising.
All right, so where was I?
Oh, yeah.
One of the best viewing episodes to date.
Can't wait for Jinx.
Yeah.
Where was I?
What was I going to talk about?
Oh, personal news wise, how's Kai doing?
She's doing fantastic.
She had a wonderful and very eventful, wonderful and very eventful morning as always and is
now walking around.
Did you grow a fourth implement?
Dude don't even get me started.
Okay.
I don't want to talk about the left side of my face.
I just checked Courtney Lo literally posted Alex Jones malted it to her IG story yet.
It's the one that I posted on my IG as well.
the famous one. I need to go see a dermatologist. I just don't have time. Okay. I just don't
have time. I don't have time. Shut up. It did literally America is blowing up the fucking
entire America is blowing up the entire planet. What do you want me to do? I have to cover
it. I have to do work. Okay. Um, 555 plus killed in Iran. Now how many was killed
by the fascist Islamic regime in January Hassan. Is this a competition? Like what are we talking
about? Like great question. Is there, is this a competition? It's like, oh, uh, they killed,
you know, X amount of people. So we get to kill another X amount of people, like up until
that point. And once it passes that point, if like American carpet bombing campaigns,
if the American carpet carpet bombing campaigns killed more than the Iranian government has
killed of its own citizens, at that point, do we just turn around and say, all
All right, this is fucked up. We should put an end to it. Is that what you think is going on here?
What a brilliant argument, dude. Incredible stuff. Anyway.
I did see the Trump rash. I can't even talk too much shit because my face is starting to look like Donald Trump's
Nussy.
Anyway, big beautiful president looking real beautiful. Please do a girly pop stream or you do a get a facial.
I think he might have shingles, bro. This literally looks like the same shingles that I had,
which is a real, real painful situation. I mean, he might die from this, okay? I'm not even kidding.
If it shingles, he's cooked. Shingles behind your neck and ear is exactly where I had it.
it. And it's a pretty fucked up place to have it. Anyway, my man looks like he's got radiation
burns. So obviously we're going to be talking about Iran. We're going to talk about Israel.
We're going to talk about America. We're going to talk about domestic affairs as well.
You know, we're, we're full tilt into Epstein operation, defend Epstein, operation
Epstein's fury, World War Epstein, whatever you want to fucking call it. It's deeply
unpopular in a way that I even consider to be kind of surprising because I'm
I'm pretty familiar. I'm pretty familiar with like how the American appetite for
death and destruction is virtually unlimited and yet for some weird reason
Americans are not biting the bait on this one as much. Operation Fortnite
Chungus has turned into an epic failure for a million different
reasons. They bombed Aramco and Saudi Arabia, too big dog, that's wild. No, I
I think that was an interception that fell because the Iranian government very quickly came out and was
like, we did not bomb the Saudi Aramco facility. So, yeah, we'll talk about all of that and more.
We'll talk about all of that and more right now. As a matter of fact, let's just get right
into it. I have Tom Steyer coming on later in the broadcast and I feel pretty good
about that. I feel pretty excited about that. That's going to be a cool interview. I think
we're going to ask him if he's a clash trader or not. Tom Starr, the billionaire running
for CAGov in the building. Get in now. www.twitch.tv.com. As far as the CIA guy, X CIA guy, John Kirikow,
He is doing a lot of travel and a lot of media right now, so it's going to be probably
next month.
And with Talarico, I can't fly out to Texas, so it's probably not going to happen.
Okay, they're very, very busy right now.
Kiriako.
Okay, that's why it's not happening yet.
I have a blast off me and I can't send it because I'm not subbed well you need to subbed
This is our chat. This is our chance chat. We got one cornered
What about row I just interviewed Ro Khanna man
What do you want I
Literally just interviewed him
Anyway, do we have a blast off meme or not?
We'll talk about Texas.
How about Nithya Ramon?
We'll talk about that too.
I'm Iranian.
I feel devastated and worried about my family and friends since the beginning of the
year.
are you interviewing an ex CIA guy? Because I'm former, I'm also former CIA. Well, I'm
current CIA. Okay, I'm currently presently CIA. So that's the reason why I'm doing it.
That's why I wonder if other, I wonder if other content creators get like their audience
to constantly chirp at them in the same way. Like, can you imagine, can you imagine it like
a fucking CBS news, Tony DeCoppel secures the interview with someone and then like the audience
is like, excuse me, double-circ Tony. I don't actually like who you're interviewing personally.
I don't even want to think about like why this could be a productive endeavor for both
parties involved. I'm just mad. I'm just mad. I've decided you're not allowed to
do that. And it's like, I love that I love doing news and political commentary to an audience that's
just like parasocial and behaves like fucking little children. Can you interview, can you imagine
a burnt peanut got shit from his fans with who he interviewed shaking my head? Yeah. Well,
burnt peanuts fandom is, is in Tel Aviv. So they don't care.
Anyway, oh man, I had a fire blast off. It is kind of cool, but we missed that. What
are your thoughts on June 8? He's running for Congress this year in Illinois. I'm not
familiar. The 6% are absolute lions. Lemau. Yeah. No, the, the 6% are the, the bad
That empanada contingency, the the troop exploders, the unsung heroes of America, the people that
the people that look at the situation ago, yes, I would like to commit more troops, please.
If they're dying, more troops to the troop exploding machine, please.
No, I'm kidding.
Those are like clearly people from Israel.
you talking about those are very clearly the people who are like pro is
real to the 6% they're like we want more troops to die now
CNN polls an outlier.
CNN polls showing 41% approved, 59% disapproved of US action in Iran.
Basically mirrors Trump's overall job approval rating.
Opinion of Trump drives opinion and attacks on Iran.
No, most people don't want it.
I mean, you look at all adults, 27% say yes.
Trump's attack on Iran, 43% say no. CNN has the highest approval rating. But even then,
it doesn't reach majority. Majority say no, or plurality say no. Make no mistake, every
major organ of media, every major 41% approval is higher than 20%. No, yes, it is. But I'll
keep it at buck 50. That's what the media is trying to do. They're trying to move these
numbers to the best of their ability. There's a reason why every, every person that they're
interviewing is like John Bolton, Lindsey Graham, and like at most, at most the people who
are like kind of against it are, are basically saying, well, it's a good thing that we're
murdering, you know, heads of sovereign states. Obviously I love that. I love death and destruction,
but maybe he should have followed the process. Like that's it. That's literally it. That's
at most a process like an aesthetic difference that you are, uh, you're going to get from
like CNN CBS doesn't even do that. Fox news obviously is just like super hurrah. They're
going nutty mode on it. They're blowing bubbles on it. It's the most, it's like varying degrees
of pro-Israel sentiment being expressed from virtually every organ of propaganda. I mean,
this is just how it is. This is how it's been. It's 2003 all over again. We're like
stuck in a permanent news cycle. We're stuck in a permanent 2003 news cycle. Jeremy Skahill,
by the way, has the same suspicion that I do over the past 24 hours. I was talking to Ken
about this last night. We have heard via witnesses that a number of US personnel injured in Iranian
attacks in Kuwait is much higher than has been acknowledged. CENTCOM has not responded
to our request for comment. So I will say this, the American government is trying
to do their very best to hide the casualty numbers right now and we will find out what
the actual casualty numbers are.
If they are active duty service members on a fucking boat, it's virtually impossible
to hide those casualty numbers unless they do something super crazy.
And I don't put it past this administration, but it's very difficult because there's
like auto triggers, I think, like auto notices that come out when a service member, active
duty service member is injured, okay?
However, there are numerous ways, we'll start here,
we'll start with the dead troops, okay?
We'll start with the dead troops,
because we are going to be talking
about the stockpile diminishing,
we're gonna be talking about the,
the massive spectacular failure
that has been Operation Defend Epstein's honor.
We're gonna talk about like European allies also getting fresher to Spain in particular.
But where we should probably start today is Kuwait, okay?
Trump also had an insane speech and an insane interview that he gave.
He has been on a tear going on interview after interview after interview.
It's been very interesting.
But yeah, as I told you yesterday, the reason why Iran is striking hotels and office buildings
seeming like civilian properties was for this reason.
And here's the thing, here's the thing.
The American government has a way of hiding casualties if you have any loved ones that
have served in the region, if you have any, if you know if you have personally
served in the region, there are a couple different ways where they just like hide
casualty reports, right? One of the ways that they hide casualty reports is
there's a lot of fucking contractors, right? They are not considered, they're
not considered active duty service personnel, so they just hide, they can
they can just not release the numbers, right? So there's a shit ton of defense contractors
and when they die or when they have like a debilitating injury in service, they don't count.
So we just don't hear about it at all. Another thing obviously is clandestine operators, CIA,
if you're CIA and you get killed and there's some suspicion that one of the, one of the
the targets was like a CIA facility. You're not, you're not in the casualty reports as
well. And then another way that they hide it is another way that they hide like a casualty
numbers, not death numbers, but casualty numbers is like TBI's, okay? Traumatic brain
injuries. So a lot of these guys, a lot of these guys get completely knocked out.
Sometimes you'll hear about it when the American government obviously wants to
to make a big show of like how, how victimized they are by big, bad, scary Iran or whatever.
But TBIs are also a, a really horrific injury that, that you know, that ends up knocking
people out of service completely. It's a debilitating life changing injury for the most part as
a, as a consequence of like blasts. And it's not necessarily like them falling down
during the blasts or whatever. It turns out a lot of these guys are just like regular reservists
that are fucked up for the rest of their lives and turned into vegetables. But the American
government goes, yeah, they got a TBI. It's fine, whatever. So
So, there is a Kuwaiti KIA apparently Kuwait's military announces the death of Sergeant Walid
Majid Soleiman following Iranian attacks marking the first confirmed Kuwaiti KIA in the ongoing
conflict. But how have you become so deeply knowledgeable about these things?
Do you consume readily available info or do you have behind the scenes sources?
What? I consume readily available information and I also do the other
thing. I do both. Also I've been doing this for years and years and have you
You know, I have friends that are investigative, I just literally told you I was talking to Ken
Clippenstein earlier about like casualty reports, because I have the same exact suspicion that
Jeremy Scahill has, that I think the American government is actively hiding the true death
counts that to the best of their ability, as well as they can get away with it.
Like, I'll tell you this much, from what I understand, I mean this is like somewhat
unprecedented. This is somewhat unprecedented. But if there was a boat, if there was a boat
strike, which they tried to hide, there was a boat strike that took place on a supply boat,
okay? One of the naval assets was struck by Iranian missiles, okay?
That one is harder to hide. That's the reason why the Trump administration came out and was
like, yeah, three active duty service members passed away. I'm fairly certain that the
The boat didn't sink, but it doesn't matter if they're like above,
if they're in, if they're, you know, standing on top of the fucking ship
and they get strike with a drone, like they're gonna die, you know what I mean?
It's risen to 18 now publicly. Yeah, if they're on the poop deck,
you know, there's systems in place that like automatically inform
the, you know, family members and stuff like that.
The American government has always been like a little bit like they play,
they play it close to the chest when like high profile casualties happen or big
numbers happen. But, um,
I suspect that there is probably a lot, uh, uh, a lot higher,
uh, numbers in terms of casualties. They're just not going to ever release all of
that.
But we saw that with Venezuela, right?
Venezuela, they said there were no, there were no casualties whatsoever. Now, casualty is different
than, uh, death, right? They were like, no one was hit. It was beautifully executed, beautifully
facilitated. And then guy out of nowhere gets a fuck a medal of honor because he had his legs
shredded, right? He got a shit shredded when he was flying the helicopter. Um, the reason why,
uh, the reason why they hide that stuff is because they don't want to lower morale.
They don't want to, they don't want to incur any sort of public disapproval, like a penalty.
What's the difference between casualty and death?
Casualty means, casualty means like gravely wounded versus, casualty numbers include
both people who have been gravely, like people who have been wounded pretty severely
and people who have died, whereas fatality is just death, right?
But casualty numbers include the injured.
Like, it means that you can't fight anymore.
Like, you're either dead or you're injured and you can't fight anymore.
You're no longer able to be in combat.
I used to work in a VA hospital. Many TBI and spinal cord injury patients would have substance
use issues depending on the hospital they were in with many overdose deaths. In that case,
their cause of death would not say they died due to their injuries. Yeah, I mean, the
American military is also a fucking business in some ways. And, and as a business, they
have to like, you know, they do, they do the same shit the businesses do, which
is try to soften the impact, soften the blow. And that's one of the ways in which they do it.
There is a funny thing that I will cover, of course, which is that seemingly whenever there is
an American military action anywhere around the world, okay, some assets are going to accidentally
get shot down by other air defenses. And of course, this is what I'm talking about is
Kuwait.
Apparently Kuwait shot down three US F-15s. Incredible work by the American defenses.
Glorious. This literally happened with Biden in Yemen. And it happened with Trump in
Yemen as well. I need you to understand if there is any American, uh, any American naval
movement happening anywhere, there are going to be some, you know, 10, 20, 30, 100 million
dollar equipment failing and falling and exploding and sometimes falling off the
the fucking ships, the aircraft carriers,
and evasive maneuvering.
It's incredible.
We love melting tax dollars on fire.
We love lighting tax dollars on fucking fire.
It is, it's glorious.
It's just, you might as well watch a school explode
in the air at that point.
The man says three fighter jets were shot down
by friendly fire from Kuwaiti forces.
Sanctinon says all six crew members aboard the jets ejected were safe. John McCain's
ghost is haunting our forces. Yeah. John McCain dropped six planes, six planes. And the only
reason why he was incapacitated was because he was taken as a prisoner of war. Do you
understand? Like they would have put his ass back on a fucking plane even after the
last incident. If he hadn't been, if he hadn't been incapacitated by being taken
a prisoner of war by the Viet Cong. Understand, he was the Viet Cong's strongest soldier.
That's why I always had tremendous respect for John McCain, the anti-imperialist goat. A lot of you
only talk about how you want to offer critical support to the people's liberation, critical
support to the North Vietnamese, but John McCain lived it, okay? He lived it. He lived it
it every day of his life. Six aerial assets. He dropped six of them. How many American aircrafts
have you destroyed? A lot of you LARP, a lot of you LARP as though you're like, Oh dude,
I think it's, uh, you know, I would, I would love to, I would love to serve. I would love
to serve alongside these people. These people are doing this honorable, brave, anti-imperialist
action. Fuck America. John McCain lived it. Okay, recovered and are in stable condition.
He lives in a geo located video that appears to be an F 15 falling from the sky. The pilot
parachuting out. There's also a video that appears to show a pilot safe on the ground
after ejecting. Now the aircraft were F 15 strike Eagle fighter jets. Sencom says
air defenses mistakenly shot them down during active combat that included
attacks from Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles and drones. The cause of the
incident under investigation now CNN following all the latest developments
from around the globe, the White House, the Gulf inside Saudi Arabia and
Israel. Let's start there. Our Nick Peyton Walsh is in Tel Aviv with the
very latest on the loss of three U. S aircrafts. That's a significant loss
all at once, Nick.
It is startling to see three involved in a friendly fire
incident like this.
And I think it brings home the jeopardy that US troops face
as this conflict widens.
Look, it's clear that Senkoma is saying here
this was an active combat area.
Likely it seems.
If you interpret what they said,
that Kuwaiti air defenses were engaging
drones, missiles, other things at the time
and mistook these F-15s as legitimate targets too.
That is essentially the consequence of the war that the United States is in here
President Trump warned yesterday that there could potentially be more-
I fucking love this. I'm sorry. It's so funny. It's so funny. I was just like
MWARM MWARM
Oh, man
Oh, man. Oh, baby

You can always count on you can always count on these fucking thirty million dollar bad boys hundred million dollar bad boys
However expensive it is the juice
Operation I'll just stay up and keep drinking that way. I won't be hungover at work
Man
What is 80 million a pop
fantastic US casualties has been three so far and let's face it this was clearly a
near miss all six crew ejecting safely and now being in a stable condition
having been recovered by the US military we want to talk about how this
happened and here to do that is retired Army Brigadier General Steve
Anderson thank you so much for being here because we're going to talk not
just about that plane but also the sort of pros and cons of doing an air
campaign with the goal of regime change, which is not something.
Huh. Oh, that's, that's the second part of this. Every, every aspect of operation, epic fail,
operation, epic fortnight, Chungus operation, Epstein's fury is just busted. Okay. Every
part of this operation is so busted. Cause the goals are wrong. The methods are impossible
to achieve the stated goals for, right? Like the goals in and of itself are idiotic. And
the methods that we are willing to commit to are not going to help us achieve those goals
at all. It's incredibly fucking violent. It's incredibly brutal. It's incredibly deadly.
And on top of that, in the process of operation, Epic Fortnite chungus, billions, and I mean
billions of dollars of american assets in the region have been destroyed
and as a consequence of that destruction
in the hands of iranian drone strikes iranian munitions iranian ballistic
missiles
okay
we have seen once again that america literally either a does not care about
any of its golf
uh... regional
uh... uh... allies
He's perhaps worse, incapable of defending their own bases, okay?
Operation Epic Fail has been insane.
As far as like doing damage to American might and American military competence, you could
not write a funnier story than this, okay?
Fortnite Chungus is conducted by actual drunk assholes, drunk rapists, who are just drunk
at the wheel. Like very clearly drunk driving this situation, drunk driving the fucking car.
I think the 2nd there was a
man and the 2nd there was a
boss MVP? What What did he do?
Oh, he's putting falling
planes. On the screen. Okay.
Wait a minute. What are these
fighter jets on screen? Haas
is throwing up some imagery. I
with that F-15, give us the context of what are our capabilities.
Okay, they don't show the funnier parts about this here.
Watch videos showing locals approaching one of the F-15 pilots who ejected over Kuwait.
Really? You need something to help you?
No problem, you're safe.
You're safe, you're safe. Everything good?
No problem. Thank you for helping us.
Oh, no, bro, they're gonna hit the fucking female pilot. Oh
No, oh, they're gonna say DEI except the other two positive male, but it doesn't matter
You're fine. Oh, no. Oh
No, dude, dude. No, do not girl do not take that helmet off. Just
Just make your voice more course. Be like, yeah, I'm a man. I'm a white man. Oh no, we
got a hashtag girl boss, dude. Oh no, no, no, no, no. Oh, absolutely necessary to look
at this. Oh yeah. This was really funny down to American pilot while in the shape
of us was the guy surrendering to a man with his dick. Come on, dude. Zero subtext
only text is three days into the Iran war. Yeah.
For the record, for people who, who might think like, Oh,
it's cause the Kuwaitis hate these guys. No, the Kuwaitis fucking love these guys.
Okay. I need you to understand something.
They probably thought he was an Iranian pilot at first and then they realized
that he was an American pilot and then they put him in the back of a car,
so that they could take him to a hospital.
One minute. One minute. One minute. One minute.
Brother, what is happening? Bro, we are not a serious country, man.
They put him in the back of the car like a dog.
Oh my God, dude. Oh, that's so funny. Oh, that's awesome. Kuwaitis are providing cover only
system they have that can hit F 16s or Patriot batteries, which have lots of fail saves due
to pass FF incidents. It was Iranian batteries. US is just lying. Yeah. There is a, there
is a suspicion on whether or not this was friendly fire. And I guess America would
rather say it's friendly fire than say that it was Iranians that struck the fucking
Iranians that actually struck the the F-15s having said that having said that I
don't know maybe it is it has happened before so do you see that that's my
fucking truck video from an American soldier.
I am inclined to believe that it's a friendly fire because what fucking Iranian anti-aircraft
system is striking Kuwaiti airspace, bro. Like, that's crazy. You know what I mean? It's like,
because it literally happens right on top of, it happens right on top of the Kuwaiti airspace.
This is cognitive information warfare. You lie the fuck out of everything and claim. Otherwise,
Is this a new NATO doctrine? Iran has S 300 within range of Kuwait.
I don't know. Why are you laughing it up all giddy about serious matters? Okay, but none of this is
funny. What am I supposed to do, man? Kill myself? What do you want me to say? Look at our
fucking incompetent ass multi trillion dollar military brother. What do you want?
The best possible outcome here for the American military to say phase is that they struck their own fucking planes
The worst possible outcome is that Iranian s 300s Russian s 300s purchased by Iran
We're able to literally laser up three
American f-15 fighter jets off of Kuwaiti airspace and none of this needs to happen at all
So what do you want me to do not laugh about the fucking situation?
Yeah, it's our goddamn tax dollars being lit on fucking fire. That's a school. You know what I mean? That's health care
But of course, I'm gonna laugh at least they didn't get to go murder a bunch of fucking school children
You know what I mean in a bombing campaign, so I'm gonna laugh. I'm gonna laugh a little bit
Shut the fuck up
Yes, it's funny it's objectively funny that an F-15 pilot wasn't able to fucking go and like I don't know
Well, laser some school before people go f-15s don't actually do strike packages on schools
or whatever the fuck.
It's an aerial combat.
It's an aerial combat plane, whatever.
Yes, nerds incoming.
The F-15 friendly fire claim is either a lie or a US command failure, but something is
off, says Adam Cochran. After talking to experienced military sources, here's how we know the report
is covered. Kuwait uses three types of air defense systems, Patriot, Improved Hawk,
and Shorat. A Shorat type air defense would not reliably take down an F-15. An Improved
Hawk could hit an F-15, but because a Hawk requires constant radar illumination,
the pilot would be alerted to the lock by radar detection, could deploy a chaff,
at ECM, take maneuvers against it. So a Hawk strike in three planes is deeply unlikely.
The Patriot system can reliably strike targets like an F-15. And so we know it's
likely that this was a system used. But Patriot systems rely on multiple ID types to engage a
target. Radar track behavior rules, it shoots at things that act like a missile.
IFF signature, broadcast automatic signature between fighter craft and ground systems.
I mean, look, I don't know. I don't know what the point of failure is here, but it's
It's the American military, so I feel like there's numerous points of failure that you
could point to, okay?
How is it not funny?
It's the military industrial complex being incompetent, nobody got hurt, it's literally
hilarious, exactly.
I will say a couple things that have proven to be true here, okay?
A couple things that are proven to be true here once again.
Maybe a lot of you are too young to remember the numerous points of failure that took place in
The global war on terror when they first went in when you go into an active war
No matter how much you've done combat simulations. No matter how much you've like trained your troops
There are going to be very real problems when you get into a real shooting battle. Okay, it's always a cluster fuck
I mean the one example I always use is like the Humvees
Okay, they brought all these fucking Humvees into Iraq and Afghanistan and literally they had no
Coverage no protection underneath the Humvees
So basically all of those Humvees turned into dick explosion machines because they would just drive around and
Some dude who mixed the concoction and put it into like a Teflon pan like a boiling pot with a bunch of marbles
Would put together a roadside bomb and that shit would explode right underneath the Humvee and every single troops dick would explode in the process
Okay, literally
How do you not factor in like armor underneath the goddamn Humvee?
It's shit like that it happens all the time no matter how much
No matter how much you you think you've factored everything into the equation you have the most sophisticated
sophisticated equipment, you have the best machinery, there are always going to be issues, okay?
So there are obviously again
numerous points of failure and many problems that are taking place
with this this round of epic fortnight chungus that we haphazardly put together as we are, you know,
lasering Iranian schools, a volleyball team and an 86-year-old man and his whole family and his
residents that we seemingly have presented as this unique espionage
victory like oh my god the American and Israeli clandestine operators are so good
they've deeply penetrated Iran it's like bro he was at his house like that's
that's really this is the pivotal achievement of the CIA he was at his
house it's mind-boggling that they're trying to fucking sell this as like as
as an incredible feat, okay? Anyway, so, you know, there's a lot of, it's costly, it's
bloody, it's completely, it just shouldn't happen at all. I mean, it's completely ridiculous.
And we're doing it anyway because that's just the way it goes.
Having said that, as far as these points of failure, I mean, these are, at this point,
you would assume that it would be expected that these sorts of things are going to happen.
But seemingly it happens all the time with regular frequency, it literally happened
with onslaught law under the Biden leadership when they were, when the Biden administration
was bombing Zana bombing Yemen. They had these issues. They lost, I think two aircraft,
right? And then Trump lost another one as well. So fantastic stuff overall.
These are in the region. Well, there's probably at least 30 or so F 15s that are stationed
there in Kuwait. Now it's 27. And they all no doubt took part in this
massive air campaign that took over the weekend over a thousand sorties were
flown you have to remember that was incredibly complex operation involving
the Lincoln carrier battle group the Ford carrier battle group out in the
Mediterranean all the bases that we have in the Middle East without a doubt
there was probably Tomahawk missiles launched from submarines in fact so it
was incredibly complex operation so the fact that we'd have some kind of
collision or some kind of an incident, you know, is not that, you know, it's not that
remarkable.
But he's nerf.
Bro, that's awesome.
That's awesome.
Come on.
I mean, what?
Yeah, we fucking shot $380 million pieces of sophisticated equipment out of the sky
with four million dollar missiles in the same, like at the same day of time, it's normal.
It happens all the time.
But what is remarkable is the performance of the American military in this and the Israeli
military to have done what they've done over the last couple of days without a single
shoot down is pretty remarkable.
Those aircraft were F-15 strike Eagle fighter jets.
The cause of the incident of course continues to be looked at, but those jets are
the US is deploying in the air as this war expands.
The military is also using remotely piloted MQ-9 Reaper drones.
They carry Hellfire missiles and guided bombs.
They are also using B-2 stealth bombers, valued at just...
Isn't it wonderful to see why you don't have health care on TV every day?
this also they I love when when
mainstream news turns into like QVC for
fucking the American military industrial
complex like look at the might of our
weapons they're so fucking sick so you
know more than one billion dollars each
the bombers usually fly out from an
air base in Missouri with a crew of two
let's get the very latest from our
correspondent station in key
cities Clarissa Ward is on the
Iranian border in eastern Iraq let's
start with you Clarissa what's
happening there. Hi Kate, well we are here at the border as you mentioned
today is the first day that there's some traffic going in and out. They are
allowing Iranian trucks and Iranian citizens to go back into Iran and for
Iraqis who may be on the other side of the border to come back in. But I just
want to play you some video of something pretty extraordinary we just
saw an Iranian Shahad drone literally flew over our heads. Take a look.
And now, sorry, there was supposed to be more of that video, but we'll get that to you later.
But they closed the border for a little while, then they reopened it.
And now if you turn over here, you can see these trucks are starting to move again.
We spoke to one Iranian truck driver who told us that he was very scared about what's happening
inside Iran, but that he wanted to get back home.
Reminder, this border is going to be very consequential because this is where they're
going to push the Kurdish militias in to the Iranian state through, okay? Just so you understand,
I'm telling you ahead of time, Babe Ruth calling out the fucking shot. This is the border that
they are going to push the Kurdish militias through because they do not have an active
mobilization on the ground. The goal here is to destabilize Iran and destroy the
state, okay? The goal here is to destabilize and destroy the Iranian state. They are going
to send in Kurdish militias. Maybe ISIS too, who knows? ISIS would love to get a couple
licks in there as well, but I know for a fact, I know for a fact, but they are not moving.
They want to keep it democratic. All parties agree to that, brother? Just wait, okay?
fucking wait as quickly as possible to be sure that he could get back to his
family Kate let's understand well that's some amazing video we're getting
that all brought in and to show that more of that video that you and your
team were able to get Clarissa are gonna be showing that for sure once we
can turn that around it really appreciated Clarissa standing by
How hypocritical after having sacrificed Rojava? Yes. Yes. But these are separate Kurdish units,
but they will do it one more time. Okay. They will do it one more time because they need,
okay, listen, the biggest problem from the American perspective here, pulling it back,
pulling, pulling it back and taking a top down approach to what's going on here. Okay.
There are numerous factors at play. There's numerous goals here, right?
Right?
Donald Trump 100% wants a Venezuela-style situation, you know, he did the decapitation
and then all of a sudden he finds someone that's more pliant, and he gets the deal with them.
He doesn't give a shit if they're IRGC, obviously, right?
The problem is, Israel wants an entirely separate thing here.
And I tweeted about this last night, and it's really important, I'm going to keep
stressing this point over and over again. Because the reason why this operation is haphazardly
put together and the reason why it's become a spectacular failure very quickly is because
there are competing interests here. Not converging interests, but diverging interests here.
Because Donald Trump wants it fast and easy. Donald Trump wants, boom, boom, boom, quick in and out.
Now, a bombing campaign, negotiations process with a leveraged position, a much better position
overall.
And then a plant state in Iran that's going to, a plant state in Iran that's going to
play ball.
And it's gonna say, we're really sorry, whatever your demands are, we'll let you build a
Trump tower in Tehran, all this stuff.
People on the other hand does not want that because Israel knows that, and I tweeted this
last night, large majorities of Iranians in Iran do not fuck with Israel, including the
people who hate the IRGC.
There are some people who like Israel and like America and Iran.
Iran is a massive country, very diverse.
But large majorities in general are not fans of American, are not fans of the American
bombing campaigns or the Israeli bombing campaigns, right?
There have been polling. There's been polling that was conducted after the 12-day war where Iranis were very frustrated
Okay, so big chunks of the public are not fans of Israel. So even when you have
Even when you a song a cook by Charlie Charlie Kirk Charlie Charlie Kirk II
I'm on bay and you I just popped the perky so
As I was saying
As I was saying I
Forgot what I was saying god damn it
Oh, I lost my train of thought. I'm gonna receive it one more time. I'm gonna get it again. So
Large majorities of Iranians in Iran do not fuck with Israel including the people who hate the IRGC
Considering that this is Israel's war
It is an important part of the equation and it offers clarity to the Amerisraeli
Airstrike targets which include opposition figures and moderates and border guards
Okay, because if you're wondering
why America and Israel are blowing up, not just the heads of state, but then also trying
to assassinate oppositional figures to the state, including a guy who's been on house
arrest since 2011.
The reason for why is because Israel does not want any real oppositional figure there, okay?
Israel wants a failed state.
Israel recognizes that with the exception of like Reza Pahlavi, right?
Which you would need to send in American troops to defend, if you were to plant Rezapallavi
in power, you would need American troops to defend that, right?
Because there's no world where a 93 million nation is going to welcome Rezapallavi as the
true leader of Iran.
It's not going to happen.
Is there some support on the ground for Rezapallavi?
Sure.
But there is no next day plan here, okay?
You would need to defend, you would need to defend Reza Pahlavi with American troops.
So unless Donald Trump commits to a puppet state and designing a puppet state and defending
a puppet state in Iran with no guarantees of success, mind you, okay?
It's not going to happen.
You can't install Reza Pahlavi, you can't just like say, Reza Pahlavi walks in and
he has popular support on the ground, and they magically have a monarchy, they restore
the monarchy, and then they do liberal democracy with a functioning monarchy on the side.
It's not gonna happen, right?
And in the absence of that option, the only other option for Israel that is going to
effectively destroy the Iranian state is just a failed state, right?
Trump might want regime change, in air quotes, like in Venezuela, but Israel wants
a failed state like Libya that will never threaten its expansionist ambitions again.
Any real deal here for Trump means cutting out Israel, and that's not likely going to
happen until it gets really costly, okay?
And right as I was tweeting that, Donald Trump gave another interview this time to ABC where
he says, the US identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed
in the initial strikes.
He said the attack was so successful, it knocked out most of the candidates.
It's not going to be anybody that we're thinking of because they are all dead.
Second or third place is dead.
And not only that, but they're even shooting and trying to kill oppositional figures as
well.
Like people who are literally arrested by the administration.
People who are under house arrest by the administration.
If you have an ambition to actually do regime change, you can't kill the guy you're
trying to fucking plant as your guy, right?
You can't kill the fucking people, you can't kill the fucking people that you're supposed
to put in power.
You can't do that.
It's insane.
So this once again proves that there are diverging interests here.
This is Israel's war.
goals broadly are to create a failed state in Iran. America's goals are, or Trump's goals
in particular are, glory and a quick in and out campaign, couple bombs, negotiations,
art of the deal. As he is conducted over and over again, like this is what he did in Venezuela.
He thinks Venezuela was a massive success, right? And he's coming off the heels of
that success and quote unquote success in Venezuela and going into this Iranian
operation after getting the worst intel possible from Israel and probably the compromise people
within his closest administration allies like Lindsey Graham and whatnot who are just telling
him over and over again, you're going to reach glory. Israel's going to go in without you.
You want a piece of this puzzle. You know how Israel is. They got the best fucking
equipment, they got the best intel, we should go in with them, right?
That's pretty much how this story was concocted, right?
And I think Donald Trump thought, judging by what took place in Venezuela and judging
by what they perceived as the success of the 12 day war, he thought this would be
going down very differently.
We thought we go in, we blow some shit up, we do a decapitation strike, and then we find
a much more client figurehead within the IRGC to deal with, and then it's over, right?
We can get all of our demands across, and it's going to be totally fine.
What they didn't realize, or what he did not factor in, perhaps was the information
that his own generals were giving him.
the cia was telling him
don't do that
don't do a decapitation strike you're a fucking idiot if you do a decapitation
strike
they already have a system design called like this decentralized mosaic
they have a they have a horizontal movement within
uh... they have a horizontal contingency plan
where even if there is a very successful decapitation strike they
will still continue fucking
uh... bombing israel
and and uh... continue to bomb american targets even potentially
Like everything that unfolded, Donald Trump was aware of.
And we know Donald Trump was aware of it.
You wanna know why?
Because the generals clearly leaked it to the fucking media.
They literally leaked it in the buildup to this campaign.
They were like, Trump is not listening to us.
We're gonna go and tell the media, we're gonna go and tell the media that we might
actually fail.
wash our hands of this failure, right? And what this operation has shown thus far, and
I know everyone wants a big W here, and I know like the Republicans are running around
talking about like, we did it, we killed the Ayatollah, we killed the 86-year-old guy.
It's fucking over, we've done it, and if there's a new Ayatollah, we'll kill him
two, not realizing the consequences of these actions and not realizing what this is showing
to the rest of the world.
Number one, it shows that America doesn't either have the motion or the ability or the
care to defend its allies with military bases.
All of a sudden, if you have a US military base and you have a regional actor that has
a lot of smoke, you're not getting protected.
You're not getting any protection whatsoever.
You're basically becoming a missile sponge.
That's number one.
Number two, if they do not have the capability of protecting these bases, then all of a sudden,
then all of a sudden it's a major weakness, right?
Like either they don't have enough munitions and they have to expend them protecting Israel,
or they just don't give a shit at all about the Gulf nation states, which are supposed
to be incredibly important Petro states that are incredibly reliable and incredibly
important allies for American capital, okay?
The other thing that this has shown is that if America went to war with a country like
China in a proxy war, for example, right, they would get their fucking backs blown out
because the gap between the technology gap between Iran and China is insane, right?
The technology gap between Iran and China is insane.
the missile gap between China and Iran is insane. Like if there was any sort of serious, if there
was any sort of serious battle, proxy battle or not between the Chinese state and the United
States of America, we're not making it out of that, we're not making it out of that process.
Okay. They, their manufacturing capabilities are far superior to the Iranian manufacturing.
All it takes is a willingness to engage in this, right?
So this, in my opinion, is completely rewriting American hegemony and the American military
power, especially considering that China also, as it stands, literally holds the cards
to American manufacturing and the American munitions manufacturing side, considering
that they have all of the procurement and refinement processes on lock for rare earth minerals and
battery systems that are necessary for American national security interests.
It's not even, it's just, it's over at that point.
President Trump, it was a roughly nine minute phone interview talking about the war in
Iran.
want to give you the quotes. He said quote we're knocking the crap out of them. I think it's going
very well. It's very powerful. We've got the greatest military in the world and we're using it.
I asked the president how long he thought this war. My last he said I don't want to see it go on
too long. I always thought it would be four weeks and we're a little ahead of schedule. I asked
him if the U.S. was doing more to help the Iranian people regain, reclaim their country than
the military strikes if there was other stuff going on he said
yes we are indeed but right now we want everyone staying inside it's not safe out
there he also suggested it was about to get even less safe
we haven't even started hitting them hard the big wave hasn't even happened
the big one is coming soon i asked the president about the fact
that iran uh attacked arab countries in the region of bahrain jordan
kuwait cutter and the ua e uh... he said that that was the biggest surprise
so far for him and his team quote we were surprised we told them meaning the
Arab countries we've got this and now they want to fight and they're
aggressively fighting they were going to be very little involved and now they
insist on being involved he said of the Arab leaders of those countries I know
these people they're tough and smart the Iranians he said quote shot into a
hotel they shot into an apartment house it just made them meaning the
Arab leaders angry they love us but they were watching there was no reason
for them to be involved. That was probably the biggest surprise. Uh, you have to understand
they were living under that dark cloud for years, meaning the Iran. I'm going to be honest.
It's pretty funny how leaky of a fucking faucet Donald Trump is. He is, he is literally.
He is such a messy bitch, dude. You cannot have a commander in chief that's a messy bitch
like this he loves yapping anytime an operation is going poorly he does the
fucking full spectrum he goes to ABC he goes to CNN he goes to CBS he calls
journalists personally to be like listen Drake let me tell you something okay it's
going great it's going great I love the situation I love the situation we
got Iranian attacks have been very successful. They are doing a really good job. Let me tell
you, but we're doing a good job to everyone's doing a great job. Like, what the fuck, dude?
They basically told all the fucking Gulf States that your bases are bullet sponges, your
bases or missile sponges. We are just, we are just invested in protecting Israel. We don't
even care about protecting our own troops inside of the Gulf nation states. We don't care about
anything but Israel. M is real high, M is real high, M is real high. That's literally what the
lesson is here. Now of course these guys, they're still fucking, they're, you know, they're,
they can get pissed off all they want, but it's still big daddy America, right?
But here, look, look, you got a Saudi official on Al Jazeera. American defense is focused on
Israel without the Gulf states that
hosts many of the military bases. And the irony, of course, this guy's not a Saudi official.
Okay, whatever. Host many of the military bases. There's no doubt in my assessment,
or I believe that there is let's say a kind of resentment towards the ally or the partner
if we describe it is a Saudi commentator to the American partner who focuses on Israel
security and Israel stability without concern for the defense needs of the Arab Gulf States,
which are total, which are today being subjected to Iranian strikes without American effort.
Also, it doesn't matter, a Saudi analyst, same shit.
it. Okay, Saudi analyst is not going to go on fucking Al Jazeera and say something that
the Saudi government doesn't believe. Like, what are we talking about? Like, you're making
it seem like there's a independence amongst Saudi analysts and Saudi officials. No, he's
a, he's any Saudi guy that is speaking on Al Jazeera is basically communicating as
an organ of the government. Okay, they're speaking on behalf of the government, which
She's fine. I mean, I've heard this exact same thing over and over again. Um,
it makes sense. They're fucking pissed off because they're like, dude,
you let Israel strike us in Doha, right?
You let Israel strike Doha. Israel killed Katari, uh,
nationals in Doha. It was fucking ridiculous.
And then on top of that now, all of these bases are missile sponges.
You don't even have fucking protections on these bases.
What the fuck are you doing? Ironically enough, ironically enough,
What is really interesting about this process also is that when America let go of their
own bases and turned them into missile sponges and Shahad drone sponges in particular.
What they ended up doing was also harm Israel's defenses as well.
I don't know what kind of communication exists, but like the early advanced warning systems,
the radar towers that Iran took out, probably also play a role in the Iron Dome's defenses
not being as good, right? Because the entire region, all of the American bases and all of
the American early advanced warning systems that exist in the region that have now been
blown up, actually reduce the success, the success rating in the interceptions
that Israel can conduct. And that's part of the reason why you're seeing more and
more of these fucking Iranian missiles fall on Tel Aviv.
So it's not like Iran is blowing up the Gulf bases for no reason.
They're not like, they're not just like blowing up the Gulf bases because they're pissed off
at the Gulf for allowing the, the American bases to exist on their soil.
They're blowing it up for a very real purpose.
Oh, I'm sure Assad has a better strategy than the military.
Should I not do any commentary? Should I not even like talk about what's going on?
What's unfolding in front of our eyes? Like should I just sit there and be like,
I'm sure the military has a better idea of what's going on? Like when three F-15 fighter jets fall,
am I supposed to be like, the American military knows they wanted those F-15 fighter jets to fall?
Is that what I should be saying here?
Like, how can you not look at, how can you not look at this situation and see it as a
spectacular failure?
You think America looks good in this process?
The mightiest military on the planet, the most sophisticated equipment on the planet,
and they just left their fucking radar towers un-guarded?
Like with the exception of Al-Udeid, which is where the fucking scent come is, they
They don't have any fucking missile defenses.
These bases were not even being hit with ballistic missiles for the most part.
They were being hit with shot head drones.
Do you know how fucking cheap that is in comparison?
It's nothing for the Iranian government to keep fucking sending these like slow ass
drones to hit the radar tower over and over and over again for like the past 48 fucking
hours.
We've seen it.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's like a flying tractor, dude
They can be shot down with conventional small arms. You understand they could be shot at with like AK-47s if necessary
For $30,000 with a Shahad drone you can take out a billion dollars worth of equipment a
A billion dollars worth of equipment.
That is an incredible, incredible strategy for the Iranian side.
Obviously, not law, but we can't pretend we understand why the bases haven't been evacuated,
have been evacuated.
It might have been strategic.
I mean, even if you don't like the military, they're not completely stupid.
No, brother.
It's because America, no matter how mighty its military is, does not have infinite
munitions.
i'm already explaining to you
when you make a strategic evacuation
you're making that decision
with the full knowledge that you are focusing entirely on israel's defense
that's what's going on
also
there is a party involved in this
that you can't really fully factor in like how they're gonna respond
it's the iranian side and it's very clear
that the american government
the american military
understood how iran would retaliate
but the top of the fucking uh... the commander in chief was clearly
way more focused on the intel that he was getting from israel and false
assurances that he was getting from fucking israel that's my point
the point that i've been making
that the arab states are eventually going to fucking run out of interceptors
because they don't have unlimited funds they don't have that they have a
finite resource here this is not
you know israel doesn't have unlimited uh... resources to defend itself
This is something that the American Generals were very aware of and kept telling Donald Trump.
They kept telling Donald Trump this and when Donald Trump didn't listen, they went to the fucking media.
They leaked it to the media. They said, we don't have unlimited resources.
It's gonna look really bad for China. If China wanted to fucking go and like attack Taiwan, we would be completely shit out of luck.
But the real reason why they were saying it was because we don't have enough missiles to even defend fucking Israel eventually.
Now, the question remains, I think the Israeli side here, which is totally fucking guiding
this entire process, this military quagmire, they know how to manipulate Trump really well,
okay?
They know how to manipulate Trump very well.
They're exceptional at manipulating Donald Trump, okay?
Trump is very malleable. He's so easily persuaded especially when he when he thinks someone is like brilliant
You know what I mean? And he clearly thinks like all the Israelis they got the best intel. They're really really smart
He doesn't like Benjamin in y'all personally that much, but Benjamin in yahoo can can basically tell him like no
You don't understand you will be glory
You will be glorified like you will be remembered as a fucking hero that finally toppled the Iranian regime
come on, think about this, think about this, right? And then Donald Trump believes him,
he's a fucking idiot. And all of the other pedophiles in his fucking corner are,
they've been salivating at the prospect of this no matter what the fucking cost is, right?
And basically what's going on here is clearly that Israel knows that they can just,
Because once they committed Donald Trump to this process, he's not gonna fucking pull out
with egg on his face, okay?
They committed Donald Trump to blowing up Iran, and now he's stuck.
And now he's just fucking stuck.
That's it.
He's stuck in this military campaign that he wanted to get out of with a swift exit.
He thought he could get a fucking, a better leverage negotiation position.
He was an idiot and the Israelis lied to him 100% or he's compromised by Israel.
I mean, look at the fucking Epstein files, I don't know, but like regardless, he clearly
doesn't care enough.
He clearly doesn't care enough about anything beyond like what he could have gotten as far
as like a good deal from Iran.
Decapitation strike, good deal from Iran.
So now the question is, when Donald Trump eventually realizes in and around by the end
of this week, okay?
When Donald Trump eventually realizes that there is no fucking perfect destabilization
initiative when he realizes that this is not gonna be fast and easy.
And that Iran does have hands, okay?
When he realizes that, what does he do?
Does he commit more assets?
Does he actually commit a more aggressive response to Iran?
Does he commit to blowing up the entire fucking country?
How much longer can he go?
Will it be appropriate if oil barrels
are $150 a barrel, will that be good?
There's also the other side of the story,
The benefits that this has for, you know, let's say you close the Strait of Hormuz,
a lot of the oil that goes to India and a lot of the oil that goes to China travel through
the Strait of Hormuz.
It's like most of the fucking Gulf States.
Some of them go through the Red Sea, but that's a marginal amount of oil that's passing
through the Red Sea as opposed to the fucking Strait of Hormuz.
Almost all of the oil for all of the GCC states, including Saudi Arabia, pass through
the Strait of Hormuz.
And now that Iran is talking about closing the Strait of Hormuz, all of a sudden that's
going to skyrocket the oil prices.
I wouldn't worry about until you're just a naysayer to everything as long as the subs
keep brawling, then you'll be fine or better yet.
Why don't you go live in one of these countries you're so fond of?
Why don't you do that?
I was literally live in Doha a month ago.
That's number one.
Number two, I will be live from Havana, Cuba, uh, in, in, you know, a couple of weeks.
And not only that, but also this is like what, what, what fucking differences to make to
my analysis.
Like do you have a disagreement here or are you just, are you just going to be like live
as in live in.
Oh, oh, oh, okay.
Yeah.
I also did, uh, I also did stay for an extended period of time in China as well.
Yeah.
No, I think I'm going to stay here.
I'm an American citizen and I want my tax dollars to to actually go to good things that help the American population as opposed to like
Defending Israel's interest in the region no matter how fucking insane and bloodthirsty those interests might be
But it's okay. You can continue being it. You can continue being cattle
This bait doesn't even work in the context of this topic. Well, I know
You know, what do you mean? Oh, you don't like
You don't like your tax dollars going to fucking melt American troops at the behest of of Israel's expansionist agenda in the region
Why don't you leave America and go live in what a country that's being bombed by America instead?
Why would I do that? How does this make any fucking sense to you? Nothing makes sense to you because you're a fucking idiot. I
Pay more taxes than you do bitch. Okay, shut the fuck up
By the way, your analysis was correct about the Iranian reasoning behind the hotel strike.
Yeah. An Iranian door strike in a hotel in Bahrain injured two U.S. Defense Department employees,
according to the State Department Cable Review by the Washington Post. I told you. I told you.
And a lot of chatters were chirping at me. I was like, look, this isn't to say that Iran
Iran is not interested in causing chaos and doing terror, right?
Of course they are.
But they have limited strike opportunities.
Why wouldn't they fucking use them?
Why wouldn't they use them on appropriate targets?
It's crazy they had intel for this.
I wonder which country has incredible surveillance technology that they might be feeding to
to the Iranians.
Hmm.
It could be Iranians own, you know, own surveillance or it could be another major world power that's potentially aiding
the Iranians a little bit with their surveillance expertise.
I mean Iran is also very good at cyber security to like the the the
$1 guys are like pretty fucking aggro and no it's not Russia it's it's I'm talking
about China dude I suspected there is a lot of Chinese aiding and abetting
happening here and no I'm not talking about Albania when Iranian
officials told dropside they were targeting hotels in Bahrain because
intelligence on US troops there, I thought it was some kind of cope. Turns out it was true.
An Iranian drone strike in a hotel in Bahrain injured two US Defense Department employees
according to a State Department cable review by the Washington Post. Two US Department of War
personnel were injured, the cable said, referring to the Department of Defense. The cable, which
was sent out Sunday, did not provide further details. The State Department did not comment.
The Defense Department did not immediately respond in request for more information.
There is suspicion that they blew up a CIA position. That's number one. And there's
There's also suspicion that they blew up a couple of contractors as well.
So yeah, you mentioned that Iran is degrading systems that likely factor into Israel's
defense before and after satellite imagery of the destroyed radar on storage naval base
in Bahrain.
I think that this entire net of radar systems that exist in the Gulf region play a major
role in Israel's defenses.
And I think America made a fucking massive mistake just leaving these places unguarded
and allowing them to become fucking Shahad drone sponges, which is insanely cheap, by
the way.
Because like war of attrition also has an economic toll, right?
There's an economic cost analysis here.
And when Iran is striking with $20,000 lawnmowers that fly
at $1.5 billion worth of satellite equipment,
that's insane.
That's insane costs.
Like there is a, there's,
it's insanely economic for Iran
to engage in this kind of thing.
Okay, obviously on the American side
for the military industrial complex, that's great.
economic activity that's going to happen, but like there's tremendous upside for Iran. Yes,
it's very cost effective. There is very little risk and very high reward for the Iranians
to keep pummeling these American bases. And on top of that, that plays along with the larger
goal here, the more consequential goal here, which is to embarrass and punish Israel and
and America. And obviously when they blow up those radar facilities, that also undermines
the network of surveillance that exists that undermines the Israeli defenses in general.
Okay, US intelligence treated an uprising as a remote scenario yet many in the hawkish Iran
analysts echo chamber confidently sold the idea that Iran was a paper tiger and regime change
would come fast at little cost.
How do you believe things end up at the end of this conflict?
Not good, no matter what.
Like I said, the best case scenario out of all of the devastating options is that the
The IRGC pulls the country together and keeps some semblance of stability internally.
They're able to purge any sort of intervention that's happening on the ground from Kurdish
militias passing through the Iraqi border or ISIS or anything like that while simultaneously
continuing to punish American assets in the region, continuing to punish Israel as
well.
get so costly that both Trump's popular base of support in America falls apart, and his
popularity craters to a degree where he has to react differently.
Or they continue engaging in this. They continue hurting economic output so much in the region,
specifically oil, specifically the amount of oil they can pass through the Strait of
Hormose so much so that Trump starts getting boss calls from the likes of you know the the Petro capitalists and they
Tell Trump you need to fucking figure this shit out
all of that will eventually
All of that will eventually lead to Donald Trump cutting Israel out of the equation and
Releasing Israel and then saying Israel is the bad guy in this process
But it will take a lot for America to do that especially Donald Trump
SMP 500 slips in the negative territory Nasdaq 100 follows suit Iran's revolutionary guard commander says straight of Hormuz is closed
How do you feel about a Kurdish autonomous zone in Iran I feel fucking horrible about it
I feel like that's an insane thing. I feel like Americans need to literally shut the fuck up. It's insane that we're like I
Thought long gone were the days of like Sykes Picotte or whatever, you know what?
I mean, I thought we weren't like a piecing up bad take
what
Bad take shut the fuck up dude. What are you talking about? What do you mean bad take? Oh, no, we
We just get to make we just get to peace up other countries
What are you talking about this is a sovereign state man, it's ridiculous
Especially when talking about cards in Iran
which
you know i mean i'm sure there'll be plenty of fucking policy papers to prove
me wrong but it's like it's it's ridiculous that we get the balkan eyes
other sovereign countries like what are you talking about
yeah let's make let's make kurdish israel happen please
So far, the war has cost the US taxpayer $1.9 billion. I know that it's higher than that, by the way. I think this is a very conservative estimate. Okay?
$1.8 billion. I don't know if this actually factors in the damage from the radar facilities and the bases that have been blown up and cratered.
But things are not looking too good. Apocalyptic vibes on the front page of the Washington Post.
Trump says operation Iran the last four to five weeks are far longer.
U.S. pledges to send more troops as war widens.
What about Balkanizing Chinatown? Its own autonomous zone for China. I'm in favor of that.
So, yeah, this is costly, it's bloody, it's unacceptable, and it's being done at the behest
of Israel, which actually offers a unique, a uniquely negative framing to the issue in
the eyes of the American public, which is part of the reason why I think you're seeing
a lot more Americans say, why the fuck is this happening?
Because Americans love war.
There's always a little bit of rallying around the flag amongst the nationalist side in the
United States of America.
And there's obviously the MAGA cult that will scream for years and years about no more regime
change wars and how fucking bloody and costly that shit is and how stupid that shit is.
And then vote for Trump because he's going to be the peace candidate.
And then Donald Trump turns around and says, no, actually war in Iran is good.
Regime change war in Iran is good.
I wanted it.
a first and then a bunch of dummies say, you're right, right? A bunch of dummies in the base
will turn around and go, yes, Mr. President, I love that actually. I've decided I love that.
The problem here is for many Americans in the edges, for many Americans in the margins,
even those in the MAGA movement, Donald Trump said he was gonna do no new wars and they
believed it so all of a sudden they're gonna be like well what the fuck is this
what the fuck is this what do you mean i wanted no new wars now you're doing a regime change war
and americans are dying and you're doing this for israel it's not looking too good it's not looking
too good for the base it's not looking too good for the capitalist of the state of hormuz is
like successfully closed which draws america into a naval battle with iranian naval assets we
we don't know what that's gonna look like.
I don't know how relevant the millennium incident is.
In 2002, there were war games very famously conducted.
It cost $250 million to put together these war games
to see what it would look like
if the American naval assets fought the Iranian
naval assets and the American general
that was supposed to be in charge of the Iranian side
literally destroyed the American naval fleet
over and over again,
so much so that they had to literally change the rules and they had to make sure that the
Iranian side was not able to use certain tactics, okay?
So I don't know if they learned important lessons from that, but judging by current performance
of American, the American Navy and the American military general in the region, I don't know.
So if, if this, if this goes into a naval conflict as well, Iran has like what 30 assets, right,
America, America has, yeah, millennium challenge 2002. Everyone is going to fucking talk about this in the upcoming days. Just, I don't know how important it is right now. I don't know how much of factors in to the current, to the, I mean, technology has improved so much since then.
So it's not it's not necessarily a good benchmark. We'll see
We'll see what happens. I'm just bringing it up to just so you understand that like America is aware that a
Naval battle with the Iranian Navy would not look as great for the American side as you would think
But it's been you know, it's fucking
it's 2002 versus now so who knows but the Iranian side has also more complex
tools as well more sophisticated tools as well so you know
European natural gas prices surge almost 50% on Monday as the war in Iran
strangled shipping through the Strait of Hormuz there's also that element
This also ruins the economy of the Gulf States as well. So they're gonna be they're gonna be feeling it
Iran is basically implementing a sanctions
crippling sanctions on the Gulf
the Gulf nation states by
Saying the Strait of Hormuz is closed
Why don't we just let it happen why is this so bad wait what why is it so bad I
I mean, it's worse for China. Let's be real. And that's the American cope. It's great for Russia, right?
It's terrible for India. It can be really bad for Pakistan, but Pakistan is right there with Iran, so they can still, like, they can still send oil to Pakistan, regardless.
If they choose to do so, so it could be beneficial for Iran
in the Iranian economy
But wait, you said isn't Iran bad? Why don't we just let it happen? Why is this so bad? But wait what?
Okay chatter
First and foremost this good bad dynamic you got to let go of that
Okay. These are nation states we're talking about. There are millions of people that live
inside of these countries. Many of them have unique dreams, unique opinions. They have lives
that are worthy of dignity. You know, these are sovereign states that we're talking about.
Okay. That's number one. Number two, if we're looking at good, bad dynamics, I think America
takes the cake regardless. You don't want to do that equation anyway. America and Israel are
are both significantly worse than most other countries
by the widest of margins, okay?
But ultimately, it's bad because it also harms America.
This is bad because it's not,
it's bad for every reason that you can think of.
It's bad because we're killing children, okay?
100 plus little girls were slaughtered at school
in the first barrage of attacks, okay?
economy. So that's not good. And number two, number two on top of that, this is destroying
America's, I mean, this is American expenditure that is utterly unnecessary. The entire region
is now on fire. The global economy is going to take a massive hit with no real success
in sight.
A prolonged campaign against Iran could also produce a failed state within rich uranium,
destabilize crucial oil routes, threaten Gulf allies, trigger a refugee crisis, disrupt the
global economy.
There is a million different reasons why the worst case outcome, the outcome that Israel
wants by the way, is devastating for the entire planet.
But because Israel is a fascist state, they have no problems engaging in an act
of mass suicide. Killing the supreme leader was one thing, ousting the regime will be
another. That's why I keep repeating that the best case scenario for the entire planet
right now is that the IRGC keeps things intact and then America pulls out and they cut a
favorable deal that cuts Israel out of the equation, at least for the time being
Israel's gonna come back again and again and again. And that eventually there's a guy that
Trump trusts enough on the Iranian side where he will do ease of sanctions or whatever the
fuck like the negotiations process will be beneficial for both parties involved.
That is the least bad option out of, I mean, that's still not the best option, but it's the least bad option.
The worst option is Israel gets to commit more American troops, boots on the ground military warfare, complete collapse of the Iranian government.
93 million people live there.
The entire nation is swept away in ethnic conflict, sectarian fighting over and over again.
and and there's no more real state that exists there and and and now you have
incredibly angry IRGC guys that still control some of the munitions they have
no safeguards whatsoever they have no restrictions whatsoever and how they
deploy the weapons any longer they can now directly strike civilian targets
with with no care or consideration with no military goals whatsoever and
And then tens of millions of people are displaced in the process as well.
They they go to all the other countries that then destabilize all the other countries as well.
I mean, it's it's fucking it's it's horrible. Now you got like, you know, super ISIS omega ISIS
basically, but this time it's not even ISIS. It's like the people who killed ISIS who have
a lot better, a lot better understanding of of how to fight.
I
Don't know or where this goes. I mean it would be it completely devastating the worst worst option also is like Israel fucking
Deploys a mini nuke or something in Tehran because they realize that they're they're not gonna fucking win
and you know, they're their munitions are running out and
Instead of instead of coming to a reasonable conclusion here
They just like try to deploy a mini nuke and then the entire world is on fire from that point on
You know, there's a lot of really really bad options here
Which is why in comparison to all those really bad options
The one that is perhaps the best option is
Is going to be
America eats a lot of the America ends up with incurring a lot of costs and it's too costly
politically at the domestic level for Donald Trump. His base starts yelling at him. American
troops come back and flag draped coffins. It becomes too big of an issue for him. And
instead of leaning into a longer military quagmire, they pull out and they pull out
and they cut israel out of the equation
don't joke bro how likely is that nuclear hypothetical future i mean it's it's less
it's not very likely but
still an option because again israel is suicidal israel is a fascist country
israel is a fascist country
And fascism is a suicidal death cult. They have literally opened up new fronts every single day. They're now bombing Lebanon again.
To be clear in the mini-nuke scenario, Israel will be saying how they told you so about Iranian nukes in the western media will pump it that as Iranian.
I don't think they'll be able to get away with that kind of propaganda.
propaganda.
So do you think Israel is overstepped this time?
Israel's been overstepping.
The only difference is whether or not Trump recognizes that Israel's overstepping and it's
too costly for him because all of his billionaire friends start calling him and being like,
dude, you need to cut this out.
What the fuck are you doing?
Trump is not a committed Zionist in the way that Biden was. Okay. Interesting. Between this
and the Susleek, the Wapo seems like someone's really wants to turn the Saudis against Iran.
Sink the 2023 reproachment that China brokered. Oh yeah. The other, the other side of this
equation is, is Washington post coming out with that bullshit story. As you guys know,
I'm not a big Saudi fan at all. Okay. I'm not a big fan of the KSA. I'm not a big
fan of MBS. Having said that, Washington Post eradicated its fucking Middle Eastern office.
And then, all of a sudden, they got this major story that claimed that MBS, in spite of what
they were saying in their public posture, was secretly petitioning America to go to
war with Iran. I don't believe that. I said I don't believe that initially. And I actually
do not believe that at all. I think that's American intelligence, like trying to, or Israeli
intelligence, uh, trying to, to potentially, uh, disrupt whatever kind of like, uh, reproach
men or whatever kind of like negotiations Saudi Arabia and Iran put together. Saudi
Arabia and Iran are not fans of one another. That much is clear. It's obvious. They
never have been, they've been waging proxy wars all around the fucking region.
in the, but in one of the last, in one of the last iterations, Saudi Arabia literally aligned
with Iran to get the UAE out of Yemen. So, and that happened only a couple months ago.
So I don't think that Saudi Arabia wanted this defanged Iran to be completely destroyed.
I think it's actually beneficial for them to have no more proxies in the region, but
then still kind of exist as a sovereign power, especially because Saudi Arabia also
has to make the calculation on what happens when Israel decides to take over Saudi territory
in the greater Israeli project.
You know what I mean?
So I'm not at that invested in the Washington Post report that claimed that Saudi Arabia
was really petitioning the American government to do a death blow to Iran.
I don't think that that was real.
I think that was bullshit.
Arabian will eventually be able to figure out where the missiles came from that struck the
oil field and if it's confirmed who is Israel that'll have regional implications for a generation.
The reason why we're talking about this is because the Iranian government has said
to CNN the Iranian deputy foreign minister to CNN said we are not responsible for the bombing
of the Saudi oil fields and have not informed our brothers in the kingdom of that. They very
quickly came out and said, we didn't blow up the Aramco fields. That wasn't us. The question
is, who did it? And the question is, why did they do that? It's bullshit. And Bernie just
jumped on this fake ass story. I think, I think that if Iran was interested in blowing up
the Aramco fields, they would make a big show of it. Because it's their final option, right?
It's their final option and they have struck the oil fields in the past. The Houthis have,
the Houthis have struck the oil fields in the past. I don't think it was around this time around.
Yeah, if you say Netanyahu dragged the United States in the war with Iran that dishonest
creep Jonathan Greenblatt will call you an anti-Semite.
But here's the lead of the New York Times report on how Trump decided to go to war.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel walked to the Oval Office on the morning
of February 11th, determined to keep the American president on the path to war.
Also, also, Benjamin Nenio came out and literally said thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, Donald Trump, for giving me my most important wish, my childhood dream of
striking Iran yesterday.
So this is the reason why I get mad when motherfuckers in my chat go, oh, well, don't you think
it's like still an unsinkable aircraft carrier?
Yeah, we've moved past that point, okay?
new information presents itself, you have to, you know, you have to factor that into
your new analysis, right? At this point, especially this iteration of the conflict,
if you think this is not Israel driving the fucking American state into war,
you're a little delusional. I'm sorry. Why does Israel get to do that? Is it because of
Jewish hypnosis? Fuck no, of course not. A big part of that is the fact that they have a
super sophisticated propaganda
uh... machine
and and have been able to exist
inside of the american government
despite being a fucking foreign entity
for eighty plus years as a consequence of being this incredibly important ally in
the region
at the stabilizing factor in the region
but post-barack obama it's very clear
israel is in the driver's fucking seat
that's it this is israel's war this is not some pat buchenne shit
okay this is different in iraq
this is different than uh... this is different than all of the other previous
uh... wars that america has has engaged in
okay
and like i said it's not because
propane also knows you know is that i guess not
is not some like organized jury or anything like that
is not that at all
but if you think that
israel is not using donald trump like a fucking come sleeve here your
You're delusional. I'm sorry.
Do you remember this video you made in May 8th?
Today's action sends a critical message.
The United States no longer makes empty threats.
When I make promises, I keep them.
And just like that, we are at the precipice of the largest conflict in the Middle East
by pulling out of the Iran field for literally zero fucking real reason.
real reason. Because come on guys, Saudi war crimes against Yemeni civilians was honestly
becoming too mundane. The IDF firing off live rounds at press and peaceful protestors at
the Gaza border is boring as heck. Our robust military industrial complex is bursting at the
scenes looking for a new war to justify increased military spending on. And I've been talking
about this for months and now it's finally here.
Listen to me when I say this. We are at the precipice of a global conflict that
that will not end well.
But first, let's look at how we got here.
Obama and European nations put together
a denuclearization deal with Iran,
which Iran has been complying with
in order to avoid sanctions.
However, Trump has consistently threatened
to pull out of the deal,
stating that he can put together a better one
or whatever other reasons he parrots directly
from his Warhawk generals and administration officials
or Foxen friends on any given day.
Let's also not forget that after Trump's trip
to Tel Aviv, an unknown client literally hired
the same fucking ex-missile contractors
worked cover up Harvey Weinstein's rapes to uncover dirt on Obama administration officials
to sully the Iran deal.
We don't know who it was.
They claim that it wasn't Donald Trump.
We don't know.
Just think about that for a second.
People want to rip up this Iran deal so badly that they look to the literal ex-missile
agents who covered Harvey Weinstein's rapes for the answers.
And while that's happening on the diplomatic negotiation side, there are also ongoing
proxy wars in the region.
On one side, in this proxy war, you have the US, Saudi and Israeli coalition of unlikely
and likely allies that are interested in maintaining geopolitical power in the region.
And on the other side is the coalition of Iran and Russia, which seeks to increase their
regional influence.
The other two major interested parties are Turkey and China.
Turkey has played both sides by both downing a Russian fighter jet over Syria, but then
also putting together a massive pipeline deal with Russia, which is why Russia is involved
in the Syrian conflict to begin with, to build pipelines.
So with permission from the United States, Turkey has also taken over the Syrian border
town of Ophin, which had been held by Kurdish forces supported by the US.
So Turkey is playing both sides, and as a massive play in the region, Turkey will be
beat back here and how a potential war may play out.
Then, you have China dipping its toes in the water by sending the nation's Siberian
Tiger Special Forces to fight alongside Assad in Syria late last year.
None of these nations want a war though.
The side that absolutely wants a war is the coalition formed between Israel.
Iran lied. Big time.
Saudi Arabia, and you might have guessed it, but the US.
We'll continue to work closely with our Saudi partners
to counter threats to this country's security.
That, of course, starts with Iran.
Iran destabilizes this entire region.
No bitch, the United States destabilizes the entire region.
What the hell are you even talking about?
If there's one country that is consistently reneged
on previous deals worldwide, it's us.
But what do we expect when the US is the country
that turns a blind eye to Saudi involvement in 9-11,
where 17 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals,
and then turns around and asks Iran
to pay the victims of 9-11?
It's like nothing matters anymore,
we're just straight up lying.
But I guess we do that all the time.
We doubled military discretionary spending
and put Pompeo in charge of soft power
and Bolton in charge of our military for a reason, right?
It's war, baby, it's happening.
Now don't get me wrong,
not an apologist for the Iranian regime in any way.
Ayatollah Khomeini was an absolute shit lord
of the highest order,
and his reinterpretation of certain verses in the Quran
are literally the reason why we have suicide bombers.
But an all out war against a nation state like Iran
will result in-
That was bullshit.
That was wrong.
Yeah.
That was lived up.
Millions of dead people.
This is unlike the disproportionate warfare
that United States has engaged in post-World War II.
You're not exactly dropping phosphorus on North Korean villagers wielding AK-47s or
fighting against rebel groups that are using the RPGs you supplied them two decades ago.
This is real war, the kind that no one wants.
So here's what I think could potentially happen.
One, a Hezbollah false flag attack or a real bombing campaign against Israel, which will
lead to increased military involvement from the United States in a full-scale global
conflict forcing all of the nations involved into the throes of global warfare.
And also, even if Iran continues to comply with the nuclear disarmament, the US coalition
could just lie and claim that they aren't to justify boots on the ground.
I mean, we literally did that with Iraq, and not that long ago, it's still ongoing.
But that's the worst-case scenario.
The best-case scenario is the Trump administration winning a symbolic victory by renegotiating
the same essential deal, and then Iran agrees because they don't want to...
Leftist Brian Tyler Coenvibes?
Brother, come on.
That's crazy.
This is me shitting on the American government pulling out of the JCPOA back in May 8th,
2018.
Okay?
That's crazy.
This is a video from May 8th, 2018.
A war with the US either, but the question then becomes, will Israel and Saudi Arabia
accept any peace?
Now that the ayatollah is deep frying in hell, who's gonna be your next guest speaker?
I love these guys, man.
I fucking love my hog haters. They literally think like, oh, Hasan, you love the Ayatollah.
You're paid for by the Ayatollah and now a bitch is so sad he died, bro. That's literally
all I've been seeing in my replies on Twitter. People just being like, you can't have a nuanced
approach to anything. You must love the Ayatollah. Prove me wrong, bub. You're not Wolverine,
Brother, what do you mean, bub?
I'm not going to lie, can't wait for the first video of you watching, you watching, you. Yeah.
It's with the current Iranian government or will they demand regime change?
And with that inevitable war.
I'm a son, Piker.
And I'm.
Prove you should.
I was only eight years ago on this video.
You're watching.
Yeah.
Well, I was I was lipped up when I was like, I had told his false
interpretation of the Quran is the reason why suicide bombers exist is
bullshit.
That's what I was saying.
I was wrong about.
Also my analysis on Saudi Arabia now is entirely different and the reason why I say that is
because I think the conditions have changed.
Is Hassan gonna have a new guest speaker on now that the Ayatollah is in deep fried
in shit is Africa like Wakanda now that the white man is in there this is what
this guy is saying on the asmen gold chat and he couldn't get he couldn't get
enough bias confirmation in the asmongold chat KDA will be better
overall Hassan probably after he steals my comment will drones with drones
everyone KDA will be better I should be careful Hassan might steal my joke
He's saying this in Asmongold's chat
Brother I live deeply inside of your brain like inside of your fucking brainstem
There's a lot of room up there too is empty as fuck
This is what I mean when I say Hassan derangement syndrome it transcends boundaries like it's it's so weird
It's so pathological bro is literally in the in the chat of
Another streamer and he's like oh, I can't wait to make a joke and then I can't wait for Hasan to steal my fucking joke
They were attacked and by someone else Israel attacked them
They hit us first and we waited for them to hit us. We would suffer more casualties and more deaths
We went proactively in a defensive way to prevent them from inflicting higher damage
Have we not done so? There would have been hearings on Capitol Hill about how we knew that this was going to happen and we didn't act pre-emptively to prevent more casualties and more loss of life.
What is that?
Everything in the West was forced to strike because of an Israeli attack.
No, first of all, let me two things I would say. Number one is, no matter what, ultimately this operation needed to happen. That's the question of why now.
this operation needed to happen because iran in about a year or a year and a half
would cross the line of immunity meaning they would have so many short-range
missiles so many drones that no one this is a good take from all the district
enjoyer much better than him yelling at me when i say this is israel's diverges
of interest cladish insured diverges an interest with israel reminds me of
syria everyone in the western plus middle eastern alliance was interested
in removing Assad true but turkey in the u.s. and co want a stable but
subservient Syria. Also true. But Israel wants to tear it apart. Also true. It's the same here.
U.S. and the GCC want a subservient and stable Iran that is amenable to U.S. security and financial
interests. Israel wants the whole thing torn apart. Initial convergence of interest, then
divergence. That is exactly what's going on here. Israel sneaks into the equation with the
divergence or with the with the convergent of interest Israel says oh we got the same interest
that you do right where Israel we love you guys and then slowly but surely they take over the
fucking driver's seat and turn around and go actually we want something different than you
we want something very different we're going to sell it to you we're going to try to make
it seem like this was your own decision okay we're going to we're going to try to put you
in front of the fucking moving bus, so you have no other way out of the situation.
And that's precisely what they're doing in this situation as well.
Like, they're doing this with Iran right now.
Yes, everyone wants to defang Iran.
Iranian, the sovereign Iranian state presents a threat to America because at some point
they might decide we don't like what you're doing.
America doesn't want that.
The GCC doesn't want that, right?
But they're perfectly willing to have it defanged Iran with no Hezbollah with no IRGC presence in like
Iraq or Syria. They're they're totally fine with that
Okay, they're totally fine with that the problem is
Israel doesn't want that at all Israel doesn't want to pliant Iran Israel wants no Iran
Well, we would love to see this regime be replaced, and ultimately, as the President has said,
he calls – no, no, but let me finish my answer.
As the President has said, he would love for the people of Iran to use this as an opportunity
to rise up and remove these leaders.
They've been wanting to remove them from a long time.
We've seen successive waves of protests, and we've seen them slaughter people.
Yeah, Rubio's still lying, by the way.
The Pentagon literally admitted that there was no preemptive strike coming from Iran.
pentagon tells congress no sign that arama is going to attack the world's
first we know that already though i'm like it's no matter who governs that
country a year from now they're not going to have these ballistic missiles and
they're not going to have these drones to threaten us that's the objective
to threaten us israel he means he means israel ballistic missiles to
threaten their neighbors to threaten our bases to threaten our presence in
the region and ultimately as a shield behind which they can do whatever they
want with their nuclear weapons ambition we were not going to let
them hide behind that and that's why this was such a critical mission to
undertake now, while they were at the weakest point, and not a year from now where they
could inflict even more damage, and perhaps already be behind that point of immunity.
This is perfect.
I'm going to say, go right behind you, and then you, yes.
Your critics in Congress have said that if that station has a goal, they should be able
to weigh in here.
And there are going to be more power institutions in Congress there this week.
Why not notify Congress that of this, and just Congress-
Well, we didn't.
We notified Congress.
I mean, we notified the Gang of Eight.
notified congressional leadership up there's no law that requires us to do
that the law says we have to notify them 48 hours after beginning hostilities
we've done that I think the notification went today but we did notify members of
Congress in advance but we can't notify 535 members of Congress and well the
Congress to vote on whatever they want but there's no law that requires us to
do that and I want to say something because I see people on TV look that's
fine if they want to take a war powers vote they can do that they've done
that they've done that a bunch of times but there's no people keep
saying that we have there's no law that requires the president to have done
anything with regards to this where to begin with no president's presidential
administration has ever accepted the war powers act as constitutional not
republican presidents not democratic presidents that said we have followed the
notification at 48 hours and we're here today I've done more gang of a
briefings than I got in the four years of Biden was president I was a member
of the gang of eight all that said we've complied with the law a hundred
percent and we're going to continue to comply with it we've done the
notification, you know, and we officially to Congress, but we did notify members of
Congress. We just can't notify 535 people. That's not possible. But we did the Gang
of Eight twice. I briefed them last week and then I called them the night before
the operation.
Yeah, I've seen those reports. I don't have. I would refer you not because
I'm not trying to answer your question, but I don't want to get it wrong.
The Department of War would be investigating that if that was our strike.
And I would refer your question to them, and I'll make sure they're aware that you have
that question.
But we'd like to know.
Well, clearly the United States would not deliberately target a school.
Our objectives are missiles, both the ability to manufacture them and the ability
to launch them.
And the one-way attract drones.
That would be our focus.
And that's what we would be focused on.
We would have no interest and frankly no incentive to target civilian infrastructure.
The Iranians are on the other hand targeting civilian infrastructure. You guys have seen it. I'm sure you've seen it
We never talk is the way you blew up a school airports. They're hitting oil infrastructure
Well, it'd be very tragic, but I can't there is no world where you can get a normal Americans be like wow
I can't believe Iran is targeting Israeli civilian infrastructure. That's not happening
We have moved that way past that you can't complain about cluster bombs
And you certainly cannot complain about Iranian targeting inside of Tel Aviv. It just doesn't work that way to the average person
They're gonna be like, what do you mean? There is such a thing as international rule-based order here
There's such a thing as like war crimes. I
Didn't you know, I spent the last fucking three years listening to you say that that's actually bullshit
This this is the this is the part where AOC is right when she says hypocrisy of this sort is a national security problem
Which is that you can't you cannot destroy the rules so flagrantly over and over again at the behest of Israel and then expect people to follow
Them it's that simple especially when it's Israel by the way, no one gives a fuck about this
Okay
No one gives a fuck about the law at this point
That's the kind of kill the head of a sovereign state. What are you talking about international law?
There is no more international law and secretary right and best will begin to roll out those steps starting tomorrow
tomorrow to mitigate, to mitigate against the impact that could have.
The only reason why this worked for years and years, the only reason why America and
Israel were able to get away with this is because no one was crazy enough to also
violate it in the same way on the opposing side.
Russia was the first to go out as a state, as a sovereign state and say,
fuck the rules. Okay. Fuck the rules. I don't give a shit. I'm going in.
I'm invading Ukraine militarily. Suck my fucking dick. That was the first big blow
After years and years of American conquest after years of Israeli annexation all of a sudden there was someone on the other side
Saying no in the post this solution of the USSR world
We are a major power that is going to also do the same shit that America does with regular frequency
People lost their minds when Russia did it
But then October 7th happened and when October 7th happened Israel decided to nuke what remains of all of these security
Co-operations
International rule-based order and America was along for the journey every step of the way America literally didn't even try to
To to fix the the propaganda side of things. They didn't even try they didn't even try to be like no
We we actually do have rules here. We actually do have to
We have to do whatever we can to, you know
Follow the normal rules follow the normal fucking process here. No
Joe Biden was supposed to be mr. I will bring back NATO mr
I will bring back our alliances mr
I will bring back the international rule-based order and it was a spectacular failure
You're being so dismissive Iran is also at the attacking civilians all throughout the region
It's not just about rules you are are you reasoning?
Nobody should be sympathized because of your stance about Trump and other parts of the world. Wait. What are you talking about?
He's not wrong Iran is a targeting more civilian instruction not just Israeli Arabs in the region stop being dismissive. I beg of you
Nobody deserves to die because Iran is real beef. It's condemnable. May shut the fuck up
What are you talking about America is carpet bombing Tehran as of last night?
Hundreds of Iranian civilians have died
hundreds of Iranian children have died and you're over here being like oh well
Iran has taken potshots with Shahad drones at fucking hotels that clearly have
armed service personnel staying in them because they escaped the fucking bases
and we have to actually worry about that like yeah it's condemnable I agree
okay America has blown up hospitals in Iran what the fuck are you talking
about
I can't believe Hassanabi was just in Tehran.
You know I have eyes, right?
My point is, if you want other countries to fucking play by the rules, you have to at least
show that you are committed to said rules. You can't just violate the rules all the time
with the expectation that your foreign adversaries are too afraid to violate them themselves,
And therefore only you get to violate them. That's it. This is not a defense of fucking targeting civilian infrastructure. Okay
It's ridiculous it's ridiculous that you think sovereign nation states are not going to fucking
Sit there and watch America and Israel
Take a shit on all of the previous
Rules that were designed to keep the world stable for years and years and years and then not inevitably also say all right
Well fuck it especially after they killed their head of state
They killed their head of state, you know, do you know how many fucking rules that violates are you crazy?
This is guys this is so insane that Russia has not done it
Okay, Russia has not done this in Ukraine. Do you understand how fucking insane that is?
like, what are you talking about? I'll step in. Don't worry. Oh, they're trying. I'm sure.
But like, let's be real. Let's be real. I'm fairly certain that if Russia really, really
wanted to assassinate Zelensky, I'm sure they would try a little bit harder. You
know what I mean? Like these are nation states we're talking about. The whole point of, there
is a well-established rule that you just don't do this, okay? You just don't do this. You
don't use nukes and you don't kill the head of a sovereign state.
Like America did this to Saddam Hussein with a sham trial. They like literally, they put
him in trial. They found him criminally guilty. They assassinated him after the fact. Okay.
The last time this happened was again, Israel killing the Yemeni head of state. But even
then you could say, okay, well, the Asadullah movement is actually a militant movement.
It's not officially the, you know, head of state or whatever. But as far as I can
think, as far as I can remember, I cannot, I cannot think of another instance with
the exception of, I guess, the USSR in Afghanistan, where a sovereign head of state decided to
assassinate another sovereign head of state, okay?
These things matter.
These things matter a lot, okay?
Like Qaddafi doesn't even count because Qaddafi was not a direct targeted strike.
It was like they set events in motion that led to the assassination of Qaddafi, and America
has obviously always utilized covert operations.
You can say Ayanne Day is another example of this, but as far as a successful assassination
of a sovereign nation, a head of a sovereign state, is unheard of.
It's crazy. I can't think of a contemporary example at all.
Last time one ahead of state was killed by military action by foreign military was 1870
Paraguay versus Brazil. No, I think Afghanistan, the USSR in Afghanistan probably is a more
a recent example, but again, like what the fuck are we talking about? This is crazy.
The IRA tried to assassinate that shirt. Guys, you are comparing covert operations. I'm not
saying America doesn't fucking assassinate foreign heads of state. They do it all the
time. I'm saying the way in which you do this matters, okay? Sending in paramilitary units
or setting events in motion that cause destabilization on the ground that end up with like the death of
a leader of war and state is entirely separate than going in and using bombers to decapitate
the head of a state. We didn't even do it the fucking Saddam. Why is this so difficult
to comprehend? The only country that does this shit is Israel. And even then, they did
it to Yemen and you can say that it's not technically the head of an official head of
sovereign state in that regard.
The IRA comparison doesn't hold here.
The IRA was a paramilitary organization.
It's not the official standing military of a sovereign state.
The way we did Osama, my guy, also Osama Bin Laden doesn't even fucking count because
he was not a leader of a sovereign nation state anyway.
It's pretty fucking crazy.
Like we are, but should the state be acceptable targets?
I mean, look, that's a separate conversation.
What you're bringing up is an entirely separate conversation, okay?
Probably not though.
The answer is probably not, because ultimately the head of a sovereign state is supposed
to engage in diplomacy at the end.
When you lose the war, you still sign off on the fucking treaty, for example, okay?
Like there is a good rule, there is a reason for why these rules have been around since
antiquity, okay?
We are, we are changing rules that have been around since antiquity, okay?
It's fucking insane.
I don't understand. Name one head of state that slaughtered thousands of their own citizens
and civilians in a single month's hitler argument is non-existent and dumb. Benjamin Netanyahu
is functionally the head of an apartheid state because there is a one singular state
Israel right now as it stands both in the West Bank and also in Gaza and
Benjamin Netanyahu has killed far more people. Saddam Hussein has killed far more people.
Assad in Syria has also killed a shit ton of people.
We're not even doing it for that reason anyway. Stop trying to justify this shit, dumbass.
Iran is not Iraq, he says. Yeah, exactly. And we didn't even do this in fucking Iraq.
Death count is at six soldiers now?
now? There is no justification for what America and Israel did here, okay? There is a reason
why we don't do this. Because guess what? When you decapitate the head of a state, especially
a religious figure of such importance, it is going to have global reverberations. It
is going to cause the state to react in the way that they are. Ironically enough,
I think Iran is still relatively restrained in their approach to this.
What would America do is the question here.
You know what I mean?
It's crazy.
You can't just like destroy every fucking rule in the rule book and then expect other
countries to react in a restrained manner.
And then people go, Oh, well, I don't know. I think Iran is like behaving irrationally
here. No, they're behaving far more rationally than many other countries would in this circumstance.
And and are very deliberate with what they're striking, very deliberate with their their
expenditure of munitions. They have a longer term goal here in spite of the decapitation
strikes that took place. It's very clear. If you want to analyze it normally, this
This is how you analyze it normally. If you want me to engage in fucking fanfare and engage
in like a partisan approach and try to make you feel better about America's idiotic fucking,
idiotic rule breaking here and idiotic attempts of like destabilizing a fucking massive country
in the region, you're not going to get that from me. Okay?
Yeah, I've been looking back at the only one I can see where a foreign military intelligence
service directly killed ahead of state or government was a Hafizullah Amin in 1979.
All others were either covert support or proxies.
This is pretty unprecedented.
Yeah.
That's why I said in contemporary society, the last time you can go back to in recent
history is 1979.
That's literally it's fucking ridiculous.
Like it is so unheard of, like we're moving past it
cause like Ayatollah is a bad guy, all this shit, right?
But like they're not going to move past it.
It's their fucking head of state.
You know what I mean?
Like what is the expectation here that oh, they're cheating?
Why are they striking back?
Like we are so used to,
we're so used to just dominating the entire planet
that we straight up look at the situation
go, wait a minute, why are our enemies totally operating outside of the confines of the rules
that we set that we violate all the time? No, Allende doesn't count. The reason why I'm
saying like Salvador Allende or all these other covert instances of American action
is because America sets up the stage for a military coup and then Allende kills himself.
Like all of those, there's a reason why those were covert operations, even if we were directly
involved in them.
There's a difference between that in America flying a jet over Chile and bombing Iende's
fucking palace, okay?
This is crazy.
This is a war operation.
This is a military operation against a sovereign head of state.
It does not happen that way.
Khomeini, Hameini had led Iran either as president or supreme leader since 1981.
This is the first time to my knowledge that any sovereign leader has been killed in a direct
military attack by another state since 1979 when the Soviets killed Afghan leader Hafizullah
Amin.
Yes.
Iranian state TV says Khomeini was killed in the Israeli bombing.
It was official residence in the opening salvo of the war this morning
He was not in any secure bunker of the kind he was taken to after the start of the last war in June
Moussaid Don grandma sir analysis the US Israel killed I told her to stir up the Iranian people and she a Muslims in the region
To destabilize the country in region. My analysis is
that America and Israel went into this
military operation with very different goals in mind. America thought, stupidly, and not even
Americans, not even like the generals, whatever, but like Trump believed Israel when Israel said,
oh, you can just go in, you know, kill the Ayatollah, you'll be a legend. All of the other
previous administrations were too pussy to do it. You're not too pussy. You're actually the man,
you got the biggest balls. And the Iranian people are salivating the prospect of taking
over their government, this guy's ruthless, this guy's brutal, immediately overnight the Iranian
government is in your hands. Okay? Israel basically lied to Trump 100%. And you're seeing that right
now with the way that Trump is talking about it, right? You're seeing that with the inconsistency
in their approach. We just listened to Marco Rubio, who is a much more competent neocon,
who came out and gave this also inconsistent message. He lied and he said,
oh, you know, Iran was going to attack us any moment. That's why we had to do this,
blah, blah, blah, all this shit. They're lying. And there's plenty of evidence that the state
is lying about this. So my assumption here, my assumption here is that the Israelis literally
told Trump a lie. They said, you will be a legend. This will be easy in and out. You'll
negotiate with whoever you want to put in charge. But Israel had a different ambition in mind.
Israel wants to destabilize Iran. Israel wants Iran to not exist. Israel wants to balkanize Iran.
Israel wants to turn Iran into Libya, a failed state. Right?
Israel does not want any Iran to exist in the region. Israel does not want any sovereignty in
Iran to exist in the region because, guess what, those ballistic missiles will still exist in
sovereign Iran, and those missiles can still strike Israel if they see fit.
Are you aware fans of your former co-hosts are now claiming that you are encouraging your
community to attack the US with Chinese weapons, what?
No, I'm not aware of this, but that's pretty funny that they, they're claiming this.
It's true. You told me that. Yeah. So everybody watch Sean Hannity tonight at 9 p.m. Bibi Nannyahu
will be interviewed. President Donald J Trump. Oh my God. He's giddy. Like a schoolgirl, dude.
Bibi, my best friend. So,
where was I? Also, we're straight up terror jacketing. It's on.
What is this? Hassan suggests future domestic terrorists use suicide drones and give them
specific instructions for how to obtain parts. Does anyone care? Nothing matters anymore.
Yeah, I mean I don't think this this is all that serious. I think this is like so
unimaginably insane that most normal people will look at this and be like
you're hysterical.
That's awesome. Can we just take a moment to say how right we were about
Jimmy Doran Tulsi Gabbard remember the people that would attack you and me for calling them
grifters five years ago yeah of course all of those people were cranks I guess smelled
the crank from a mile away and that's the reason why I kept yelling at people.
This is how Twitch streamers announce collabs.
Yeah guys guys guys it's so obvious that Israel has a totally separate ambition here
than the American government and is steering the American is steering the American naval
assets to to a long standing potential military occupation of Iran, which will probably collapse
the American state later down the line. But that's besides the point is where it doesn't
give a shit because they're fucking suicidal and they're insane. Um, but but basically
Basically, Israel wants a failed state in Iran. They will try to get that to happen
with American military and American service members dying in the process. They'll do anything to get
that goal. And it's entirely dependent on how far Trump will go. If Trump is stupid enough,
if Trump is stupid enough to play along with this, it's cooked. It's entirely cooked.
If Trump decides things are going poorly, if Trump decides things are going poorly and
just goes, all right, we're going to commit to boots on the ground, we're fucked.
You can figure that out by just looking at the strike patterns and the strike targets.
Donald Trump literally revealed last night, last fucking night, that his plan B and plan
C options for who gets to control the Iranian state were assassinated on the first day.
Okay?
It's so unimaginably cooked.
Here is Donald Trump talking to Jake Tapper about how things are going.
He said, quote, we're knocking the crap out of them.
I think it's going very well.
It's very powerful.
We've got the greatest military in the world.
And we're using it.
I asked the president how long he thought this war.
My last, he said, I don't want to see it go on too long.
I always thought it would be four weeks and we're a little ahead of schedule.
I asked him if the US was doing more to help the Iranian people regain, reclaim
their country then the military strikes if there was other stuff going on he said
yes we are indeed but right now we want everyone staying inside it's not safe
out there he also suggested it was about to get even less safe we haven't even
started hitting them hard the big wave hasn't even happened the big one is
coming soon I asked the president about the fact that Iran attacked Arab
countries in the region Bahrain Jordan Kuwait Qatar and the UAE he said
that that was the biggest surprise so far for him and his team quote we were
surprised we told them meaning the Arab countries we've got this and now they
want to fight and they're aggressively fighting they were going to be very
little involved and now they insist on being involved he said of the Arab
leaders of those countries I know these people they're tough and smart the
Iranians he said quote shot into a hotel they shot into an apartment
house it just made them meaning the Arab leaders angry they love us but they
were watching there was no reason for them to be involved that was
probably the biggest surprise. You have to understand they were living under that dark
cloud for years, meaning the Iranian nuclear threat. That's why you could never have peace.
I asked, okay, well, who's going to lead Iran now? The president said, we don't know who
the leadership is. We don't know who they'll pick. Maybe they'll get lucky and get someone
who knows what they're doing. The Iranians, he said, lost a lot in terms of leadership
because in the initial strikes, not only was Ayatollah Khamenei killed, but also
49 other Iranian leaders, he said. It was an amazing strike. They got a little
but arrogance. By the way, if the shirt of Hormuz closes, Japan is cooked. I forgot to
mention that they're even in a worse predicament than China.
The Japanese government has stated that have 254 days where the oil reserves also the Japanese
government or at least not the fucking client leadership in Japan that are America Dick
writers and Israel Dick writers. But the rest of the Japanese government has been
losing their fucking minds because America did not even give them a prior notice that
they were striking terror on and there are japanese nationals in tehran so
we're not even abiding by previous long-standing security arrangements that
we have with some of our most consequential fucking allies and not only
that but also
closing off the straight of our moves if iran ends up successfully go to go
to straight of our moves
it's over for japan
they destroy
all of japanese energy
The Japanese government has stated that they have 254 days of oil reserves.
If the Shredded Hormuz is closed for an extended period due to the ongoing war, it will be a very serious problem for Japan's economy.
But hey, M Israel, hi, right? Let's go, baby!
Fucking nuclear warfare! Fuck it! Fuck it!
Destroy the planet for Israel! Let's go!
Let's go! That's what we're moving towards, by the way.
I just want to fucking put it out there one more time, okay?
East Asia in particular highly exposes disruption of oil experts in the straight of her mose. Okay?
Oh
The US is really war against Iran is driving up sugar prices world sugar prices rose on Monday on fears of the US's real war against Iran
Which is disrupting global energy supplies will prompt Brazilian cane mills to produce more ethanol and less sugar and also implode
impact the flow of refined sugar. Most ethanol in Brazil is made from sugarcane.
If males in the top sugar producer and exporter use more cane to produce the biofuel as prices
for it might rise following oil, they will have less of the raw material to produce sugar,
a food staple, and cheap source of calories for developing countries.
We are literally rerouting international trade and nuking it. And yes,
Yes, Iran has officially stated that they are closing the Strait of Hormuz, by the way.
As of a couple of hours ago, they officially announced that the Strait of Hormuz is closed.
Oh, when?
What will it take?
What will it take for people to literally realize that we got to fucking stop Israel?
We all have to get united and stop Israel.
What will it fucking take?
A group of Japanese tourists land in Israel and magic Israeli vests singing I'm Israel
high okay stop this is just a Japanese cult.
I don't care about that right now.
Fuck you degenerate really.
Fuck me.
Well you're getting ass fucked dumbass.
Trust me you're getting ass fucked a lot worse than I am.
You're like no, I don't care Israel suicide mission is far more important for me an American citizen living in the United States of America
I am literally cattle sir. I am servile strap me to a fucking JDM and send my ass to Tehran right now
Please as long as Israel gets to I don't know invade southern Lebanon again. I will be happy. It'll be a glorious death for me
It doesn't make any sense motherfuckers are like no
listen if if
Gas at the pump is $15 a gallon. I'm fine with that
Why because greater Israel is a project is more important to me than anything else
And we have to take out all of Israel's sovereign enemies in the state in the region
So that Israel can take over more territory in Syria take over more territory in Lebanon
This is the only thing I care about. Is that it? Is that it?
Is that the only thing you care about Israel's ambitions?
Rubio is now saying regime change is not the goal what the fuck is going on with this admins messaging because they don't have any fucking real message
That's the problem. They don't have it. They don't have like listen
The previous global war on terror was conducted by demonic entities. Okay, Dick Cheney was a fucking demon
But at least they had like a fully fleshed out plan here as far and and obviously it didn't go
According to plan and there were many setbacks, but it doesn't matter like there was a goal there. Okay. There was a goal there
One that aligned with Israel's interest as well certainly, but there was a fucking higher priority here right now. There is no goal
There is no goal because Israel is fucking insane
Just wait until we start talking about the nuclear option.
In the upcoming days, you will start hearing, you will start hearing about nukes in the same
way that American Defense Department employees were going on CNN in the early days of the
Russian invasion of Ukraine.
If you recall, they were like trying to justify a potential for Russia using tactical nukes,
baby nukes, mini nukes in Ukraine.
literally said that. Okay? There was a reason for it because at the time, there was a nuclear
posture coming from the Russian side. And they were trying to see if there was a, you
know, if they could, they could maneuver public appetite in the direction of nukes.
Well
Here even team Miller at fucking former neocon
Bulwark saying reading between the lines. It seems like Israel's just out here eating everyone and their cleric while
We're just going along for the ride. Otherwise. Why would you kill the people that had identified as successors?
We have to stop Israel before the entire world falls apart
Okay. This is big of true. Oh, I saw this.
Nix Taco's mangled corpse flying through the telepathy skyline.
Stop.
That did not happen.
And I, I disavow. I disavow such things.
I disavow. I disavow. I disavow.
But, it's up to the Iraqi people, I'm sorry, the Iranian people to choose their next leader.
It's up to them to rise up and kick this regime out of place.
If they do not, then they will be with a different leader, but the same regime.
they choose to get a different leader that we can have a relationship with, which we
would love to prior to 1979, we had a good relationship with Iran.
But if they, if they, if they choose to pick up a leader, sir, we will surround that leader
not necessarily with, with boots on the ground, but with assets to make sure that
that leader can be protected, rise up and then Iranian people will have the opportunity
to choose their next leadership.
Yeah.
They don't give a fuck.
I can't begin to explain to you how much why supremacy factors into this equation. Okay.
It was preemptive because Israel was going to attack Iran and then Iran would attack the
US. Yeah. No, that's Rubio's statement on this is so fucking dumb, dude. He is such
a moron. I mean, sure he doesn't have an easy job here, right? But you can't package
this in a way that makes sense. The logic is we knew Israel was going to attack Iran.
We knew Iran would retaliate against the U.S. because of it, so instead of stopping Israel
from attacking Iran, we attacked Iran first to prevent the retaliation we knew Israel's
attack would trigger.
Incredible.
The second question that's been asked is, why now?
Well, there's two reasons why now.
The first is it was abundantly clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone, the
United States or Israel or anyone they were going to respond and respond against
the United States, the orders had been delegated down to the field commanders.
It was automatic and effective there to be truth because in fact, the within an yeah,
they're trying to they're trying to repackage Israel's preemptive strike as as the the trigger
point, which it is our of the initial attack on the, on the leadership compound, the missile
forces in the south and in the north for that matter had already been activated to
launch. In fact, those are even pre position. The third is the assessment. I need you
to understand why there's so much inconsistency in the messaging. And it is because, and I'm
going to keep repeating it over and over again until it, it's pummeled into your fucking
brains. This is Israel's war. I'm not awesome. Pat Buchanan ship. When I say this, this is
Israel's war. Israel manipulated Donald Trump. This isn't to say that Donald Trump wouldn't
love to fucking kill a bunch of Iranians. Okay. Obviously we have that ambition
as well. But the reason why we went in in the way that we did, okay, is because the reason
why we went in the way that we did is because this is Israel's war, and we were just along
for the fucking ride. We were dumb enough, the Trump administration and the closest
people to Donald Trump were stupid enough to literally think, oh yeah, this will be
easy. We will just get a pliant Iranian head of state, not realizing that Israel had very
different ambitions. Okay. It's that simple because Donald Trump still wants, uh, Donald
Trump still wants a W. That's why I'm saying this is like, uh, Israel's manipulation.
Okay. Donald Trump wants a W. Donald Trump thought this would be a feather in his cap.
Look at me. I'm so successful. Look at what I did in Venezuela. I'll be able to do it
in Iran. Okay? That's it. That's it. And just like George W. Bush is still responsible for
everything that Dick Cheney goaded him into doing, Donald Trump is still responsible for
everything that Israel goaded him into doing. This is not an abdication of responsibility.
okay
i'm just simply telling you why a lot of the message in coming out of the
fucking administration
mind-boggling like it's it's
very confusing
if you do not think
it's very confusing to you
if you try to take things that they're saying a face value
and think oh well you know america did this because uh... we just uh... also
wanted to destroy we wanted to liberate the iranian people or america did
this because
You know, we we wanted to do a regime change. None of that is true. Okay
It's the peak of American exceptionalism that Iran or any country apparently has to be pro-western our leaders act like being American
Makes you de facto supreme ruler of the world and then they have the audacity to claim that it's actually Iran that wants to go to the world exactly
That that is American exceptionalism
It's built into the heart and soul of every American by the way
And that's precisely the reason why when people say stuff like that many people even in my committee to go
What's so wrong about that? They don't even understand
They don't understand that foreign nations can have different cultures different attitudes different interests right sovereign countries can have sovereignty away from
the hands of being like vassalized
Vassalized beings for American ambition for for American capital
Just like a fucking area that you can extract natural resources from like this is the problem
It literally comes across as them cheating in the minds of a lot of Americans. They think oh, they're cheating
What do you mean? They have sovereignty. What do you mean? They have different ambitions here
This is for Dowsey Square in central Tehran people on the ground say the bombing campaign is beyond anything
They have seen and seemingly indiscriminate
Increasingly Israel and US appear to be following the Gaza playbook having failed to achieve a quick regime implosion
I told you literally the first fucking day
I told you the first day that the initial strikes were limited and even in the limited strikes
Obviously they killed a hundred little girls at school, but it was limited in comparison to what they can do
Okay, and the reason why it was limited is because Donald Trump still thought oh
Iranians will fucking rise up
Iranians will rise up and then they'll give up all their weapons and they'll say oh my god M is real high
I love america
When that didn't happen
When that didn't happen, what did I tell you that they're gonna slowly start?
Increasing the cruelty to the average iranian population
Are you still defending terrorists over the country that allowed you to blossom?
America is the terrorist country here. This is terrorism. Okay. I don't want my tax dollars going to this, okay
If you can't comprehend that and if you think that that means I'm defending terrorists, you're a fucking moron, okay?
100 plus little girls at school murdered in the hands of American weapons that you and I pay taxes for
That you and I are footing the bill for you think that's not terrorism. You don't think we have an alternative here
Are you out of your fucking mind?
Answer me.
Why are people so fucking stupid?
Confirm reporting of your predictions.
Tucker Carlson was one of the only figures urging Trump not to strike Iran in three
Oval Office meetings.
He warned that the war would risk American lives, raise energy prices, and destabilize
the region.
He argued that U.S. was being pulled in by Israel and urged Trump to resist that pressure.
Trump said he understood the dangers, but he felt he couldn't stay out of it if Israel
attacked.
Yeah, we couldn't stay out of it.
We had to get in.
We had to get in on the fun.
Will you stop Israel then, dumbass?
No counter, of course. I know. Of course, there's no counter. These guys don't think, they don't
think about the reaction to American actions. They don't think about the consequences. They
don't think about how destabilizing this will be. Oh, I didn't see you had me pulled
up. I did. Are you not listening? I responded to you. What's the question? I said, we are
the terrorists here killing 100 schoolgirls as school is terrorism. That's what we did
in our opening salvo, trying to destabilize a nation state with 93 million population
with no real fucking exit ramp, with no real opportunity for them to like develop
or thrive. When the ultimate goal led by Israel, it's yet to be determined what
happen with that situation? Okay, dude, shut the fuck up. Keep coping dip. Keep coping dickhead.
That's all you got. You're literally, you know, it's indefensible. So you have to just like
try to find a way out of it where you're like, Oh, that's no, it was determined. We know
exactly what happened. You fucking moron.
You can only justify it in your mind because it's unjustifiable by saying, Oh, we just
know what happened. Maybe it was Iran that blew it up. Yeah, just like Hamas blew up every hospital
in Gaza, right? It was never Israel. If it wasn't a three plus years of solid Hasbra at this point
that no one literally believes unless they have Israel's dick lodged so far up their asses that
that it's basically poking out of their fucking mouths
you know with the exception of people like that most people see that and go
oh here we go here we go
israel at it again
yeah it's so crazy wherever israel decides uh... to strike
the the
the foreign entity that they're destroying happens to always kill their
own children is so weird
bro is begging baby to finish inside him and trump both
him and trump both
but that's how the maga guys are they literally see their dear leader
israel's dick every fucking day for lunch and dinner
skipping breakfast and they go well i must eat this dick as well
there's a reason why both liberals
and republicans in the magabase wanna fight back against this this is israel's
war narrative because it's not narrative is reality
but the reason why is because it makes it
insanely indefensible
it makes it even less defensible than american imperialism like regular
american imperialism which is indefensible all on its own
but it makes it
not only indefensible but unpopular in the eyes of the average fucking hog
is kind of stunning to see a major new york times article clearly vindicating the
mersheimer
steven will uh... walled view
of u.s. middle eastern policy ever wrong
uh... the definitive story of how trump took an almost inevitable path to a new
u.s. war in the middle east any of repeatedly urged him to attack around
with israel
and no aids voice opposition many are also undermine diplomacy regime change
became the goal except regime changes not the goal either
IDF is currently bombing Evan prison in the TV station again.
Oh, here we go.
Bro, what's so crazy about this is this doesn't actually end up freeing the political prisoners,
okay?
It literally just kills them.
This is what happened last time too.
They did this last time as well.
They're literally killing the opposition.
It's crazy.
They did it last time.
The family members of the family members that had people in the opposition that were
in the fucking prison, literally released statements telling Israel to fucking stop that they're
killing, they're killing their family members in prison.
Okay she 100% sold Maduro out. What is this? I spoke by telephone to his highness, Amir
of the state of clout, her to whom I conveyed her solidary in the face of serious situation
of instability and bias that is erupting in the Middle East,
which has placed the entire region on the brink
of a dangerous escalation of war.
Wait, what?
This doesn't say what you think it says.
She's not calling out Iran by name
and being like, Iran needs to stop or something,
unless she says that,
unless she actively says that,
it's not completely gone.
Cutter is the most neutral here, and she's also saying like it's diplomacy time, you know what I mean?
She's being very wishes and prayers. Yes, she has a gun to her head guys. I'm not saying
Delcey Rodriguez is like not completely captive to American interests. That is true. She is.
Okay. She is. She is at the mercy of the United States of America.
What's done if it did, man?
Yeah, y'all shocked that he had jahil, did Aynan.
Aynan, ah, the Aynan.
Anyway.
Pretty crazy that Democrats spent years trying to claim the Troubles controlled by Russia
when there's like a hundred times more evidence that Troubles controlled by Israel.
Then again, that kind of opens up the Pandora's box of talking about APEC.
wonder why she could step down and protest wait what but never see the
option of these people okay you guys are fucking delusional you live in La La
land what do you mean she steps down and protest and then what they're making a
calculation that they don't want what's happening to Iran to happen to
their country these people at the end of the day still care about the
sovereignty of their states but more so care about their populations okay
No matter how despotic they might be no matter how tyrannical they might be presented as in Western news
They do care about their fucking people
What are you supposed to do when you have a fucking gun to your head and the alternative is America comes in and just nukes your country
Anyway, here is Adam Schwartz, far-right authoritarian tracker, I guess, or no, no, this is not, this
is Professor Pape, Robert A. Pape, Professor of Political Science at University of Chicago,
specializing in security affairs, offering analysis as to why the actions in Iran make
no fucking sense whatsoever from an academic perspective.
air campaign since World War I. This is my specialty. I spent three years teaching conventional
targeting strategy for the U.S. Air Force. I've studied leadership decapitation in detail.
I've modeled the bombing of Fordo, the regime change in Iran for 20 years. So it's something
I know quite a bit about. And literally 10 days ago, I started on sub-stack the escalation
trap because I worried exactly watching the armada being built. We would fall into
the escalation trap, and that's what's happened. We are now in the grip of the escalation
trap or the smart bomb trap to be more precise, where the illusion of the 100% tactical success,
which is real, it's the success of the bombs blowing up the targets is not false. It
creates the illusion of control of escalation. And that is the smart bomb trap, and that
is what has gripped us right now. And the problem is that once we drop those bombs and
once we announce regime change is our goal and we had no other tools trying to do this
from the air, this has never worked in over 100 years.
The only way that you can successfully put in a puppet state is if you commit to ground
troops. Okay? That's it. Will Trump do it? Because you're not bringing Resapahalavi into
the countryside without ground troops protecting him every step of the fucking way. And even
then it might not be successful. Okay?
Will we commit to boots on the ground military warfare in Iran?
Cause I know Israel's ass ain't going to war with boots on the ground against an adult military,
a functioning military.
They can only kill children that way after doing aerial strikes over and over again.
Cause I know it won't be Israel fighting that fucking war.
It will be American sons and daughters just so you understand.
This will literally collapse the American state, okay?
If you're a third worldist right now, you're nutting.
This is not like it works sometimes or rarely works.
I'm choosing my words carefully.
President Trump is up against the weight of history here.
And it's-
But 1953 worked without ground troops, no.
First of all, no, it did not.
Mass instability, mass instability caused, you know, like a failed coup to take place.
But of course they fucking still had Western troops.
They literally have, and we're talking about a very different Iran in 1953.
I don't know if you know this, but 1953 failed.
The Iranian revolution happened.
Hello?
Oh.
The illusion of the smart bombs being near perfect.
please explain how it will destroy the american state the u.s.a spent so much on his military
you're saying it'll be like nineteen seventeen
i'm saying
it'll be like the u.s.s ours invasion of afghanistan
okay
first of all look at a fucking map of topography of iran
let's start there
iran
as a country
is a literally eight fortress okay
iran is a country is literally a fortress is surrounded in all parts
mountainous regions. Okay. This will be an unimaginable mass casualty incident. If America tries to go in
to Iran and deploy troops into Iran, it will be Afghanistan times a million.
The amount of money, the amount of lives that you commit to this will collapse America because there will no longer be any domestic appetite for that kind of thing.
Yeah, it's four times the size of Iraq and all mountains. It's not even, I mean, look at this dude, look at this.
Let's look. Mountains, mountains, desert, mountains.
We don't even have enough munitions and enough equipment to defend little old Israel right
now successfully.
What makes you think our offensive capabilities obviously are stronger than our defensive
capabilities or defensive munitions?
But like, what makes you think we are going to successfully be able to take over a country
with 93 million people with tens of millions of armed combatants that have a fucked
ton of fighting experience. You're literally so fucking wrong. I defeated them easily in
hearts of iron four. Okay. How many times has the Rom been successfully invaded throughout
history? I mean, back when people were, you know, on horseback, they would just own it
over and over again. But that's a very long time ago, very different circumstances. Okay.
Anyway, I don't even think they want that.
I don't even think they want that.
That would be insane.
I think they just want to be able to bring in Kurdish militias from the Iraqi border,
okay, and try to do like, like use that as like a popular uprising narrative.
Use that as like a, you know, a troop commitment.
I suspect that that, you know, they, they want to turn it into Syria or Libya, but they
don't have enough popular support on the ground to turn it into Syria, because guess what?
Guess what?
No ISIS.
How are you going to do that?
How are you going to do that without ISIS?
No ISIS in Iran.
ISIS isn't gone, but there's just not, you know, I guess they'll bring in ISIS from
this side and this side or the Taliban or something.
I don't know.
militias wouldn't work just look at the topography they won't be able to affect the closure of the straight
Taliban is no ambitious to fuck with Iran I don't know about that
Taliban and Pakistan are beefing currently, but who knows?
You're pretending as if all shut off doesn't have incredibly high approval ratings even across minority groups law.
Oh my lord. Yes, it's a resounding success. Syria is a resounding success.
It will be it will be completely eaten up by Israel and will be a part of greater Israel and it will be a resounding success
Okay
Honestly shows your Western bias sometimes with your lack of nuance when you talk about Syria you're right. I apologize
I think it's a perfectly functioning state
It's a perfectly functioning sovereign state. You're right. I'm wrong and it's great territory for greater Israel
and also northern terror northern northern part of Syria is now Turkish and
Southern part of Syria eaten up by Israel eventually they'll fucking duke it out, you know
And how can Syria fight Israel right now? That's the point dumb ass shut the fuck up
Oh, yeah, yeah, you're actually right. Yes, you're right. I'm wrong. Syria is a success story. It's actually awesome. It's actually awesome to have a country that is ruled over by a former Al Qaeda leader.
It's perfectly normal, perfectly good.
It's, it's, you know, he's a reformist.
He cares about building institutions and he's doing the damn thing right now.
And also all of it will be Israel eventually.
really.
Tucker Carlson also came out. Let's take a look at what he had to say.
Now that wasn't a risk from the Israeli. Now that wasn't a risk from the Israeli standpoint.
That was the point, that was the point.
They wanted to diminish the Gulf and in two days they have and I think anyone who likes
decency and order and cleanliness is hoping that the Gulf will recover.
The Gulf has done a threat to us.
We have military bases in these countries.
These are some of our closest allies.
All of them are closer allies than Israel by far.
They're our friends, but they've been really hurt in a place like Dubai, which is basically
part of the country.
It's an emirate within the United Arab Emirates, but it's also a luxury brand, basically.
People go to Dubai because it's beautiful and rich and clean and above all because
it's safe and orderly.
It's got the busiest airport in the world.
You start seeing video and Instagram of smoke in the Dubai airport and you're
I think I'm going to Cabo this year. Oh, sorry, drug cartels. Whatever. Maybe you go to Sedona this year.
It really really hurts these countries and Israel wanted to hurt these countries. That's the point.
Wanted to hurt these countries.
Wanted to sow chaos and disorder because they are rivals of Israel.
So it's probably not, hasn't been reported, but it's a fact that last night
in Qatar and Saudi Arabia authorities arrest
his, I think he's a mercenary dude. Okay. I think he's, he's literally a mercenary. And
right now the people paying him the most is, is, you know, Qatar before it was UAE. Now
he doesn't fuck with the UAE as much, but like it's the golfs.
Not to come across as like a, like a Hossburg guy here, but I feel like there's a different
angle here, don't you think? Obviously, Iran is not paying him. So he is completely not
talking about the very obvious destabilization initiative here against Iran, because the real
analysis here is Israel. Yes, Israel wants to undermine the Gulf States. That's true.
But that's immaterial. That's utterly irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Israel wants
to fucking destroy Iran. Israel wants to turn Iran into a failed state. And the reason why
he won't say that out loud, I think, is because, you know, he's, he probably, maybe he wants
to just run for president. That's probably what it is. This is his like easiest route
to not come across like he's defending the IRGC, right?
Did Mossad agents planning on committing bombings
in those countries?
Now, that's weird.
It doesn't make any sense.
Why would the Israelis be committing bombings
in two Gulf countries,
which are also being attacked by Iran?
Aren't they on the same side?
No, no.
israel wants to hurt iran
and katar and you a
and saudi and barren and oman
and koi
and then succeeded
on a lake this on a lake that
many on iran war we read this week uh... we read in this week store portion
remember what i'm like did you are you kidding me after invoking on a lake
ahead of destruction of Gaza he's openly doing Amalek threats again yeah I mean
Demi Ryder is correct it's not like he faced any consequences last time so of
course he's doing it yeah Amalek
ICJ dragging dragging its nuts dude remember Jared Kush and Abraham
courts how's it going I mean none of that matters as long as you can fucking
destroy Iran who gives a fuck about the Abraham Accords the those guys will come
back to the table at any point they can think about that later down the line if
there is even a fucking Middle East to do deals with at the end of that
process.
Menyahu gave statements to the short press conference of both Hebrew and in English.
He only made his not so veiled reference to wiping out Amalek in his Hebrew statement.
Hmm.
Interesting.
They're destroying their target.
And the problem is when those bombs fall, they inject, they change politics in the target.
They inject nationalism into the regime.
They inject nationalism into the society.
And they essentially fuse the regime and society against the air power attacker.
And this is what you are seeing, because now society and the regime are taking more risky
steps.
And they do things that no one anticipated before.
And that failure to anticipate the worst case that has happened numerous times with smart
moms, that's just what happened in the last 36 hours.
Oh, yeah, here is Pete Hegseth Pete Kegs breath straight up saying I will commit the troops on the ground if necessary
Egypt is 100% outside of the conflict bro
Egypt has fallen from grace so fucking hard
Israel literally cut off
Israel cut out natural got natural gas transfers to Egypt
like a month ago, it didn't even make a blip. It didn't even register as like a issue of consequence.
And on top of that, Egypt is such, Egypt is already such a pliant vassal state,
basically a fucking fail state that like there is no Egypt in the equation.
People aren't even looking to see what Egypt has to say in this instance.
I have two questions for you first, are there currently any American boots on the ground
in Iran?
No, but we're not going to go into the exercise of what we will or will not do.
I think it's one of those fallacies for a long time that this department or presidents
or others should tell the American people, and our enemies by the way, here's exactly
what we'll do.
Here's exactly how long we'll go. Here's exactly how far we'll go. Here's what we're willing to do and not do. It's foolishness
And so President Trump insures that our enemies understand we'll go as far as we need to go
To advanced American interests, but we're not dumb about it. You don't have to roll 200,000 people in there and stay for 20 years
Yeah, great. Thank you. Secretary Hexeth. I have two questions for you first. Um, are there currently any
They're content for the American people is so infuriating. Yeah. Um, I was gonna say that
so
One of the things that's always frustrating about the way that these guys, uh, talk
And and people react when they're like, uh, and in people's reactions to the way that they talk is like
There is this
There's this notion that like America cares.
There's this idea that like the American state cares, right, about the citizens in Iran.
They don't care about the fucking civilians in Iran.
They don't care about the citizens in Iran.
They don't care about democracy in Iran.
America doesn't even care about its own sons.
It sends the war, nor its oil rich golf partners.
So I'm always confused by desperate people in the diaspora who demand violent intervention
by the U.S., thinking it'll lead to prosperity.
They're just going to kill your family, right?
Saudi Arabia officials saying that the U.S. abandoned them and redirected its air defenses
to protect Israel.
They left all the Gulf states that host American military bases at the mercy of
Iranian strikes.
America doesn't care about anybody.
is currently committing their own sons to engage in unlimited warfare and die at the hands
of Israel's military ambitions, no matter how destabilizing it may be.
It makes me feel so bad as a Jewish American that Israel's framing all their actions to
defense of the Jewish people.
I worry that one day will lead to an anti-Semitic sentiment against my religion at no fault
of mine.
I mean, that's already here, chatter.
already happening. Like, that's why this whole America first shit is, is, I mean, that's why
it was so successful as a narrative, right? That's why it was so successful as a narrative,
because Americans were listening to Trump go, why are we sending our fucking boys and girls
to go fight war so that, you know, some, some weirdo can turn profit, you know,
why can we like extract the oil and whatnot, only until Trump turned around and said,
actually that is America first. What's insane is that 2 million wars later and you still
have to repeat that basic fact I know. I know and I'll still fucking repeat it. I will never
get tired of repeating it.
But yeah.
Iranian sources say some buildings and hotels hidden in the Gulf were housing Israeli or
US personnel or intelligence operations that Iran pinpointed the locations has really
caught the americans and israelis off-guard
people said this was propaganda this was iran propaganda
and then guess what the american government confirmed it
through diplomatic cables the american government confirmed that iran actually
had successfully struck
american assets defense contractors
do you think they'll attack in july i don't know iran is pretty fucking crazy
and they want the smoke
I just don't know if they want that kind of smoke, because then it's like NATO.
Scoop.
US is stonewalling requests by some Gulf states who came under attack from Iran to replenish
air defense interceptors, Western officials and former US officials tell me we have shot
several years worth of production in the last few days.
So we obviously have a higher priority here, which is our commitment to defending the nation's
state of Israel, okay?
Bigger picture of what this all means is going first start with our first element.
Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu saying the quieted part out loud.
He says, in bombing Iran, Israel has now the assistance of the United States.
My friend, President Donald Trump in the US military, this coalition of forces allows
us to do what I've yearned to do for 40 years.
40 years, it's a dream that the prime minister had, despite all of the alleged pretext about
preemptive attacks, nuclear strikes, ballistic missiles.
This is something that has been in the heart of the BB Netanyahu project, as was wondering
if you could react to that and frame your general thoughts around this entire regional
war that has now erupted.
I hadn't seen that quote, but if he said it, what an asshole he is.
picture of what
Freshers every sags reacts a bit too many out publicly boasting the Trump helped him finally fulfills 40 your dream to a tagger on
Well my fucking friend with the fuck like it all comes down to buddies doing favors for each other
State Department is urging citizens to leave. The Middle East ASAP breaking the USA Department
urges Americans to depart now via commercial means
due to Syria's safety risk. Countries listed Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, West Bank
Gaza, Jordan Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
Jeffrey Sachs giving his hour long analysis on how the U.S. undermined and collapsed Russia
after the fall of the U.S. stars. A video you would love to watch. Yeah, Jeffrey Sachs is
Jeffrey Sachs, Mersheimer. These guys are are the most vindicated figures just like no,
But just like I almost said, Norm Chomsky, Norm Ficklestein, another figure that was
a instantly vindicated post October 7, these guys have been getting yelled at nonstop.
And when people yell at me, they're basically yelling at a watered down version of their
analysis as well.
Of course much easier to yell at me because I can be presented as a dumb himbo and don't
have the same long standing like academic pedigree and also personal involvement as well.
Oh, this was really funny. Speaking of like the American assets falling apart, we talked
about disapprovals. We talked about approvals. We talked about Spain getting yelled at.
Um, oh here's a footage from a commercial airliner showing a missile being launched.
Whoa, whoa.
I suspect this is the older video.
There's a Kuwaiti death.
I don't have the yips with respect to boots on the ground, exclusive to the New York Post,
by the way.
I don't have the yips with respect to boots on the ground like every president says.
There will be no boots on the ground.
There will be no boots on the ground.
I don't say it, Trump tells the New York Post.
He's saying, he's saying he's coming. That's a video from a Japanese space launch. Oh, okay.
He's telling the New York Post. He doesn't have the Yps. He will put boots on the ground
if he chooses to, if he, if he sees it to be the appropriate measure.
Oh
Prepare to die for Israel everybody
But so funny that you guys just sent me the Kenkel Eklipenstein article because he just sent it to me as well via text
Why we struck her on the machine that all but made the decision itself
We attacked Iran because the target was simply too tempting to pass up military source tell me no consideration was given to what
The so what or the then what I'm also told the high-value targets were just too valuable
I told a chief of staff of the army minister defense at least 40 senior officials in the total were killed
Trump approved what was all but impossible not to approve
The president is captive to an intelligent machine built over decades that now produces kill packages so clean and seductive that it practically runs itself as
The Pentagon bluntly put it a large-scale US strike cut off the head of the snake
summarizing its view of a Chris decapitation operation, Trump gets away
with all of this by pretending we're not really at war, a falsehood which
Congress is happy to play along. As if the U.S. is at war with Iran, Senator
Lindsey Graham told to meet the press, I don't think, I don't know if this is
technically a war, absurd as that sounds. Democratic leaders are adopting the
same framing Senator Schumer says the strikes are risking wider conflict, as
if this already hasn't done that. Representative Kim Jeffery says the
The operation has brought us to the brink of possible war, as if this isn't already
war.
If killing a 36-year-long head of state and his deputies isn't war, what is?
The United States is at war with Iran, pure and simple.
We have been for decades.
We support Iraq in its war against Iran.
We've conducted special operations inside Iran.
We've shot at Iranian coastal installations and sunk Iranian ships.
We've undertaken constant covert operations in the shadows from actual sabotage to
planning cyberviruses.
We shot down an Iranian civilian airliner, attacked targets on land, and conducted thousands
of strikes against Iranian proxies in multiple countries from Yemen to Lebanon.
We've labeled the country a part of the axes of evil.
We killed Quds' force head Qasem Soleimani in an aerial assassination and bombed Iranian
nuclear-related sites.
We've thwarted Iranian attacks on Israel and others, maintained a tripwire ground force
in Kuwait, and hardened installations in the region.
From Jimmy Carter to Donald Trump through Republican and Democratic administrations,
United States' frozen countless billions in Iranian assets, sanctioned Iranian companies,
cut off Iran from the world banking system, banned Iranian oil imports and exports, and
penalized non-U.S. companies investing in the country.
We have designated the nation, Iranian organizations, and Iranian individuals as state-sponsored
terrorism and foreign terrorist organizations.
Add to this history that today the American military machine continues to do its thing
uh... in two-and-a-half decades of war since nine eleven
it is perfected the ability to find and destroy a target any target i've
previously written about the fundamental change that has occurred in the
nature of warfare in the practice of decapitation
and we see here in the latest the u.s. in israel carried out an opening blow
that killed a ron supreme leader ayatollah alihamin a and doesn't
other iranian
leaders the military feed itself is the reason we are where we are
pure and simple
meticulous intelligence work identified the routines and locations
uh... of the i-a-tola
and others in iran's national security apparatus
and when a set of meetings on saturday morning were pinpointed
the tightest rubber band machine snapped in action
calling this starting a war is a democratic talking point sector defense
pete hexas said today adding this is the elimination of a threat that is
existence is nineteen seventy nine
because we were already a war with iran and have been for decades
is the other side of the machine by the way
It is Israel's urging, but the other side of the machine is the American appetite for
more and more actions like this that has developed for decades prior to Donald Trump, right?
So when, when, when Ken writes this, there is truth to it, right?
Like this machine has expanded.
It has ballooned and, and Donald Trump was crazy enough with the urging of Israel
to go in and do this assassination strike, no holds barred.
And I think a big transition from the previous neocon iteration of like going in and doing
like a 20 year project of developing a puppet state and taking complete control over the
country changed after Libya.
was seen by the military industrial complex as a massive success, very low, no assets were
harmed in the process, and very little commitments as far as staying behind and trying to figure
out what takes place in the country.
We collapsed the state, we destroyed the nation, and we fucked off, right?
And we left our paramilitary groups on the ground that we're aligned with or work
with from time to time, ISIS style, you know, Salafist groups. And then we let other regional
partners like Turkey take control over the country.
The difference here is Iran is not Libya. Okay? Iran is not Libya. But the lessons learned
from Libya was there is very little domestic political consequence. If you just go in
and out destroy the fucking state and and leave it as a pile of ashes basically. Okay?
As a Libyan, it's pretty infuriating every time you mention Libya. What do you mean?
What are you gonna tell me? Are you gonna do fucking standpoint epistemology on how
actually Gaddafi needed to go and it's a perfectly robust state now in and of itself? Is that
you're gonna tell me what are we doing man or are you saying that even like a
reminder of America's Imperial ambitions in Libya it's more complex than
that no I was part of the revolution it's always more complex is Libya better
off now or is it not it sucks now but we did that okay yes America and the
The American CIA has never taken advantage of real anger and resentment.
The Arab Spring was just nothing.
It didn't happen.
It didn't exist.
Here's a good book I recommend.
Vincent Bevins wrote it, not Jakarta Method, even though that's a great book as well.
But his recent book that he wrote is specifically on this.
I'm going to get to reading that when I have time.
What is it?
I believe if we burn is the name of the book.
I believe he even talks about Libya in it if I'm not mistaken, but it's mostly talking
about Brazil and talking about like real popular movements and how they get real popular
movement and how the American State Department takes advantage of real popular movements
with civil society organizations that they've already created and basically turns a real revolution
into something that suits their purpose.
I would love to hear you press that chatter on what part he played in the Libyan Revolution
Because 99% chance he was supporting from afar as the Libyan in Colorado or some shit. Yeah, I don't know
As a fellow diasporoid I am to rate your top five worst ones. I mean it's it's a Cuban
Persian Iranian
Venezuelan actually Venezuelans or not they dare hit or miss
I don't know
It's hard it I feel like Lebanese are pro up there too well depends depends
Because Lebanese Lebanese diaspora is like either the coolest people you've ever met or fucking people who say I am I'm finnish
You know what I mean like there's more diversity in the diaspora population
Whereas like with the Iranian and the Cubans there aren't really there isn't really a lot of diversity at all is just
It's just like one massive fucking in group
Again diversity in the Chinese diaspora population as well, but Falun Gong it's pretty bad
Why is Cubans always catching strays? We ain't all bad, brother.
As a part of the Cuban diaspora, I think you're probably aware of what the Cuban diaspora has been doing for years and years. Two Cuba specifically, right?
I mean, we're talking about your neighbors and your relatives if you live in a Cuban neighborhood still.
Like, I think you know better than anybody else, personally.
We're talking about, like, the overwhelming majority. Yeah, my whole fam, exactly.
If a diaspora population, if with your diaspora population the overwhelming majority is like
incredibly reactionary, it's just it's hard to look at it as anything but like the the reactionary
component.
Asan, the end of the job will be like the brother who will love us, but then the ropes will be completely broken, the same brother.
A person actually follows, I like, follows you on Insta.
Turkey is a NATO country, it says it won't enter us, friends, friends, then we will learn.
America is Israel's dog or America is still a big partner, then we will learn, okay?
It's not that simple, it's that simple.
Zionism is more important for America, or we will see American capitalism more important.
We will see that day.
Insha'Allah, we're gonna go to Macy's for someone.
Anyway, because we're already a war with Iran over many, for decades, yes, there's intelligence diplomatic people who fret about the consequences.
But like, what's in Congress, they are brushed aside because this is an opportunity we can't pass up. That's how it's been explained to me.
to me. As many of you have noticed, I'm not gonna lie. I think Ken has like taken away the
shared responsibility from Israel with this article a little bit.
I do disagree to some respect. I respectfully have to disagree. I think this is like, I
understand that like escalation after escalation after escalation created a robust appetite to
do stuff like this and Donald Trump was crazy enough to do it. But the final fucking
Domino was absolutely Israel pushing Donald Trump with shitty ass intelligence telling him that this
would actually be super easy because they had a different ambition in mind.
But yeah, I do worry that this will continue over and over again. I do worry that this will
happen in Cuba. I worry that this will happen with any state that even European allies potentially
Uh, with, uh, whenever Donald Trump sees fit, because there is no, there is no one ready
to counter.
The Trump administration is no one ready to counter the American government.
Donald Trump tested this a little bit with Greenland.
He got high off of his own supply with Venezuela and thought, oh, I'll do this to Greenland.
Okay.
How the first U.S. service members died?
The first U.S. service members killed in conflict with Iran died in a direct Iranian strike on
a makeshift operation center at a civilian port in Kuwait on Sunday morning local time,
a source familiar with the matter told CNN.
The source said the strike hit just after 9 a.m. directly impacting a triple-wide trailer
used as office space.
There were no warning sirens.
Parts of the building were smoldering hours later.
Well, the number is six and we still don't know where the others died.
The Israeli military says it's destroyed the Iranian broadcasting authority building in
Tehran.
Hmm, why would you do that?
But if it was really about that, how could this threat have lasted for 40 years?
How could, as Benjamin Netanyahu said yesterday, how could Iran's nuclear program been on the
very verge, the cusp?
If not for the US intervention, then what would have been a better alternative for
the Iranians?
The Iranians are not factoring into this equation at all unless you're talking about
the smoldering ashes of the Iranians and the aftermath of an impact site from
American munitions.
do not calculate what happens to its own citizens, let alone what happens to the citizens of
foreign nations. Okay? It's crazy. Cut it out. Cut the shit out. Like, oh, what would be
the best option for the Iranians? Like, I don't know, maybe not being fucking destroyed
by America and Israel in the actions that are already happening, but also simultaneously
the actions that will get even worse for the Iranian population is America and Israel
keep literally destroying Tehran
and all of the other heavily populated civilian sites.
A building and deploying a nuclear weapon for 40 years.
Of course it wasn't.
What we can argue about Iran's aims with nuclear weapons,
they probably wanted one, who wouldn't want one.
Look at what happens to countries that don't have one.
Everyone wants a nuclear weapon.
But were they actually about to get one?
I just saw a Twitter buddy totally agree with your perspective regarding
the situation high from Turkey.
Israel cannot attack Turkey because Trump's daughter is in our hands.
Okay.
That's a joke, but.
Hosanna be doctrine on the Tucker Carlson show.
Oh, I was going to show you all the footage of an American plane
falling on the ground in Kuwait is playing in the background.
Israel's channel 12 hosts.
Nivraskin urgently notes. This is very funny. Watch this. Friends, we need to emphasize
this is an incident in Kuwait involving American forces and not heaven forbid an incident involving
Israeli forces. Thank God. Thank God it wasn't one of ours guys. It was just a dumb American
an idiot. Okay. Guys, guys, guys, don't worry. Don't worry. It was another one of these servile
pieces of American cattle that Americans keep throwing into the pile for us. Please don't
worry. Okay. Incredible. And it's also extra funny because we also have that attitude.
We, the American state, literally is like, oh, we will send our loyal servants to die potentially.
In this case, there wasn't a death, obviously, but...
What is this how many was all this fuck the government was losing grip on power the bombing
caused Iran is the rally on the flag I mean I don't know if that's like I don't know if
says 100% true. But the Kuwaiti people that responded to the crash drove the pilot around
in their trunk. I know I saw it was really funny. Anyway, let's hold on. Where is the
fucking sand report?
They're on the Iranian border. Let's now get to Paula Hancock. She's in Dubai. Another
key place to be watching right now. What's up situation there?
Okay, we have been hearing interceptions overhead Monday morning. There were at least two interceptions
we heard here in Dubai. In Abu Dhabi, an hour down the road, it's a very similar situation.
And just in the last several minutes, we have been hearing a number of fighter jets
in the air. So there is certainly at this point no let-up in the retaliation from Iran
when it comes to these Gulf nations. Now it is interesting, we're having figures through
from ministries of defense talking about how much is being thrown from Iran towards these
Gulf nations.
Oh, they lost Matt Walsh, by the way. I forgot to mention this. I can't take the gaslighting
guys. I really can't. Conservatives are now running around saying Iran has been waging
war on us for 47 years. Okay, then why didn't any of you call for an attack on
Iran at any point until now? Why didn't you make the case for Trump ending the
war, not starting it until precisely the moment when Trump did it. You and I both know that
you are latching onto a talking point you never used until 45 seconds ago. You and I
both know that almost every conservative influencer in the business was opposed to
war with Iran until just now. And now you're trying to use justifications that stretch
back decades. It doesn't make any sense. If you changed your mind, fine, say so.
Explain why you're allowed to change your mind. I've changed my mind about things,
but don't try to rewrite history. Be honest about it. There's too much at stake
to play these games. Yeah, and then they're fighting one another. The other like conservative
loser goes told out to the soldiers who were wounded in Beirut, told out to the soldiers
wounded in Afghanistan, told out to the soldiers wounded in Iraq, told out to the families
who died in Israel. Matt Walsh says, were you saying all this all along and calling
for an attack on Iran? Or did you formulate this reasoning only after the attack was
already happening? Matt Walsh is still too much of a bitch boy to fucking openly
say this is Israel's war, by the way, because, you know, Benny boy might come after his ass
a little too hard. Well, the cracks of the cracks have set in. Oh no. Oh no, no, no. Ben Shapiro,
your boss had a very different attitude. He was saying operation epic fortnight chunk
is, is fantastic. Your previous co-hosts having on the foremost story on boner box,
the worst hospice to try to justify the war in Iran. Who gives a fuck? Fuck those guys.
Yeah.
Day three and Matt Walsh is like, fuck this. I'm out. Let's see if he gets fucking, if
he gets the whip cracked on his ass. You can tell, you can actually tell who is sincerely
America first, I guess, or, or on the left, sincerely anti war versus who only cares
about Israel. This is your opportunity to find out. Okay. It's right here in real time unfolding
in front of your eyes. Okay. That's it. That's it. If you're pro Israel, if you're Israel
first, you're going to sit around and be like, no, this is awesome. Let's kill the
American cattle class at the best of Israel. Please. It's fantastic. It's fantastic.
It's awesome. We always wanted this. We always wanted this to happen. And it's
a good thing that it's happening. It's fantastic. M is real high. For some, this will be too much.
Matt Walsh at least has the foresight to recognize that he might be going independent,
going forward, okay? U.S. Urges citizens to immediately depart over a dozen, yeah, we already
covered it. Carter is said to have four days of Patriot Misses left for interceptions.
I feel bad. I I think Qatar is a wonderful country. Okay, but you know, have some autonomy cutter. You got it. You already have a shared oil field with with Iran
It's crazy, I cannot believe I was there like I I think about that a lot like I could be
If America had moved this assets into the region earlier,
Qatar has four days working worth of Patriot Missiles left Bloomberg reports. Trump says things are going great.
According to
according to Bloomberg the UAE and Qatar are privately lobbying the Trump administration to bring quick end to the conflict at a fear of ongoing economic
disruption and the depletion of interceptor stocks.
The United Arab Emirates and Qatar are privately lobbying allies to help them persuade President
al-Shamtoor region reach for an off-ramp that would help that would keep US military operations
against Iran short according to people familiar with the matter.
By the way, I saw, you know, it's really funny about this.
And I talked about this when I was in Doha.
I saw a uniformed personnel at the fucking hotel I was staying at.
And that freaked me the fuck out, okay?
Literally, my dad was there. I was like, dad, do you fucking not see this shit?
And he's like, what do you mean? What's the problem? I'm like, that's a uniformed American personnel in the fucking hotel with us.
That's crazy. This is literally like, this is now technically a military target. What are we doing here?
I'm straight up a fucking human shield now. What the fuck is this?
That's part of the reason why when I saw the shy drones striking fucking hotels in all these different places
I was like there's probably American soldiers inside of those hotels
They escaped the bases and they're just staying in the hotels now
What could be happening in Qatar in the next few days I live here and it's been quiet so
far it's been quiet because they've been striking al-Udeid because al-Udeid until now has had
Decent defenses because that's where sent commas, but Iran hasn't stopped pummeling aludade, right?
Aludade is one of the only American assets in the region that had a sufficient stockpile of anti
Anti-missile defense systems, okay
The problem here is they don't have an infinite supply
So, eventually when they run out, Iran is going to keep striking, sent com, Iran is going to keep striking al-Udeid, okay, and they're going to start hitting al-Udeid, they're going to start succeeding in hitting al-Udeid.
Okay, when that happens, that's a major, that's the major base of operations for all US troops
in the fucking region.
I don't know if Donald Trump comprehends that or not.
I don't know what they're thinking, okay?
As far as the military working to defend,
CENTCOM is US Central Command.
It is the base of operations in which the United States wages
war in the entire fucking region.
There is no, I don't give a shit about CENTCOM, OK?
Like, if there is one area of importance
that is just as important as like Israel, I guess,
or should be a higher priority than Israel,
it's u.s central command
and when those soldiers leave the base when the evacuation order is given
is like i'm assuming they're already working in a limited capacity right now
uh...
eventually when it's left the fence list
they're gonna fucking escape and those soldiers
are not going to be able to fly out of carter because iranian missiles are
flying around
they're gonna have to go to the hotels
they're gonna go and live amongst the civilians,
they're gonna hide amongst the civilians.
And then what do you think happens?
Especially considering that I suspect
there is a lot of Chinese surveillance at play here
that is giving them, you know, giving the Iranian side
strike targets over and over again.
You got the Chinese satellites watching
American soldiers pick their noses
in the fucking Al-Odeid air base,
walking around with their dicks out, pacing outside.
And in real time, you get that surveillance to the Iranians
and they're gonna start striking different
fucking areas in Qatar too, potentially.
The only reason why this entire thing is foiled
is because Iran for years and years
had demonstrated restraint, okay?
And I think Americans and Israel thought that that restraint meant their pussies. They don't have the fucking smoke
They don't have the weapons. They don't have
They don't have the interest
Okay
Well, it turns out they did when you assassinate their leadership and they already have a contingency plan in motion
This is what happens and now America's going oh shit Iran has fucking hands
that's illegal you can't do that that's where we're at right now in this stage of
the war okay in this stage of the war you back there on into a fucking corner
where there was no other alternative other than fighting their way out of
that corner and now they're fighting back and America's like wait a minute
That's illegal. You can't fight back against us. The fuck are you doing? This is not fair. You should not be retaliating this hard
This is this is completely unsustainable. It's been two fucking days, dude three days
We're on the third day and
And Donald Trump literally looked for an off-ramp the first day after the end of the first day
He was like he went through the Italian envoys to try to set up a ceasefire negotiation or I was like fuck off
off. When is your billionaire dad coming on the broadcast? My billionaire dad. Yo, we're
cooked now. Explosions are loud here right now in Clutter. Clutter just got badly attacked.
What the fuck? What are they watching? The stream? That's crazy. The countries are
seeking to build a wide coalition to advance the swift diplomatic end of the conflict.
People said in order to prevent regional escalation and prolonged energy price
shock that were speaking on conditional anonymity discussing matters that have not yet been made
public.
A Qatari assessment shared with Bloomberg News warned that if shipping lanes in the region
remain severely disrupted by the middle of this week, they would expect to see more
significant market reaction for natural gas prices than Monday's sharp spike.
Qatar Energy halted its production of LNG this morning at some point that accounts
for roughly 20% of the LNG output.
You know who makes a lot of money here, by the way, the American LNG producers.
The UAE has requested assistance from its allies with medium-range air defense, while
Qatar has asked for help to counter drone attacks, which have emerged as a greater
threat than ballistic missiles that people added.
Qatar's stock of Patriot interceptor missiles will last four days at the current rate
of use.
Four days at the current rate of use, according to an internal analysis seen by Bloomberg
news. Insanity. Matt Walsh doubles down on the admin. So he's flat out telling us that
we're in a war with Iran because Israel forced our hand. This is basically the worst possible
thing he could have said.
Whoo. It's coming. Matt Walsh again. It leaves a daily wire. I'm calling it. He's he sees
the writing on the wall. There is no shot that Ben Shapiro doesn't punish his ass
for saying this kind of stuff. Ben Shapiro loves this operation. Ben Shapiro went on daily
wire and was nutting. When he was talking about Fortnight Epic Chungus, Operation Epic
Chungus Fortnight is so good. In the 12 day war, the U.S. fired 150 fat interceptors
to protect Israel, 25% of the entire global stockpile. In the last 48 hours, we have
fired an untold number along with several other systems. In 2025, the U.S. acquired
exactly 12 new fat interceptors. I don't know about that.
I'm telling you, Iran's technique of overwhelming the systems with whatever the fuck they can
is going to yield a much more productive response than the Americans ever could have conceded
to than the Americans could have ever imagined.
Good summary of why the Bahrain Naval Base was hit so much.
Why is Iran focused on destroying the US fifth fleet
in Bahrain?
This isn't just a fleet.
It's a comprehensive database, warfare, intelligence,
privacy, politics, and more.
Let me explain the importance of this fleet.
OK.
This seems like chat GBT.
Thauger does have internal sources.
So he might be, he might be more knowledgeable where we spent trillions on defense and we
can't even sustain a week long assault.
Do we just pump all that defense spending in the crony contractors and McKinsey checks?
Yes.
Yes.
I think a lot of people don't realize that the American military industrial complex is
the most bloated operation of all time and quite literally hasn't had like the interest
of developing munitions and procurement strategies that like are equivalent to you know, World
War II levels or even anything beyond that.
Even anything that comes close to that for quite a while.
Yes, a lot of this money just goes to the executives and is spent.
a lot of this money goes to the executives and is not spent on like
developing munitions
iran on the other hand has the exact opposite interest iran
the lease bloated munitions production facilities
because they actually do see this as a as a as a way to to
continue having sovereignty
The US is out here calling everyone a paper tiger, but it turns out we are the paper tiger
Yeah, I mean paper tiger literally comes from Mao Zedong Mao Zedong
Initially said the US is a paper tiger, and it turns out he was fucking right
He just was too early
That's what that's where paper tiger comes from
Paper tiger as a term comes from Mao Zedong calling the United States a paper tiger
oil crisis impact japan's 72% hormones dependency
trade of hormones dependency by country japan 72%

Shale production made us extra fucking crazy.
Energy independence under the Barack Obama administration literally made America the nuttiest
country on the planet because it completely removed us from that kind of in that kind
of dependence anyway.
It is, this is what allows us to behave in the insane ways that we do.
we got Venezuelan now on top of that too. So how is it Dorell and Tavaki spoke about it like five
minutes ago. I wanted to circle back to understand the view better. The competent conversation would
be what? Pat Perkrimer for 2024 was 11. 2025 was 12. This year schedule for 37. Nice.
And while we're on the topic big wave of missiles on Israel is that what's going on?
I've had a podcast of Western media for now talking about the Israel connection.
Why? Rachel Maddow at MS now propagandizes the American public and her listeners with
Dude, I'm gonna be honest with you. If Israel hadn't committed a genocide for the last two and a half years
These kinds of conversations would not be
What we would not be able to have these conversations
But because Israel committed a genocide for the last two and a half years
There was so much attrition on the power of
an anti-Semitism allegation
That it is no longer an effective counter mechanism
Now, whenever someone says, oh, dude, what the fuck, you're, why are you so obsessed with
Israel?
Why are you bringing up Israel?
People just look at you like you're funny.
People look at you and go, oh, here we go again.
This guy immediately with the anti-Semitism allegations.
Now, obviously the other side of that, the damaging side of that is that there are
people who are anti-semitic, like objectively, and take advantage of the situation and dilute
the conversation and it's very frustrating and it's something that I obviously oppose.
Having said that, however, you know, this has been very effective. It's been very effectively
neutered and therefore you have the, I've had ladies who are capable of having this
conversation going on guys. I've had a ladies who are capable of having this
conversation and demanding answers for it. Okay. She has so much credibility and we're
not talking about the manipulation and the diabolical intentions of Benjamin Netanyahu.
It's just really devastating when you see what little organized. We're going to switch
gears in a little bit as Tom Steyer is in the building and I'm going to be talking
them about, uh, running, uh, as a billionaire running for office or running for, um, California
governor.
True opposition.
This country has to the all of these for profit complexes and a diabolical psychotic war criminal
named Benjamin Netanyahu propaganda is so bad.
You guys that over the weekend, I watched Rachel Maddow and she goes on one of her
monologues and she doesn't even connect that the reason we're doing this is for
Hello, Mr. Not number one most watched streamer in Iran. What?
What the fuck does that mean? Benjamin Netanyahu, a person who has an arrest warrant and that
causes me great pain as a former like MSNBC liberal, a big fan of Rachel Maddow's, the
The complicity of the Western media and not reporting on this accurately.
There's so much deeper information here.
And Benjamin Netanyahu for 30 years has had.
Yeah, let's do it.
All right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, it's fine.
Tom.
What's on?
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Let's get you into a seat.
You know what?
Hold on.
I'll put you in the, I'll put you in the Dolce and Gabbana.
I'll put you in the Dolce and Cabana scene.
So I'm gonna put you in a gaming chair.
There it is.
I gotta think of this before I might just honestly.
Yeah, I don't really give him the green chair,
but since you're a billionaire, we gotta.
Well, that ended begin.
Yeah, since you're a billionaire, we gotta put you in the Dolce and Gabbana chair, you know?
Okay.
Is that how I make it not tilt?
Oh, I don't know. Actually, hold on. Let me see.
Does yours tilt?
No, not that much.
Wait, not tilt? Doesn't like not move around?
Not do that.
Oh, that's okay. It doesn't tilt that much.
Hold on.
That's good.
Wait, let me see. Maybe this.
Don't you come on the phone apart. I want to say to you. Yeah. Oh, that's the headrest you can throw that I
Don't know how that works. They sent that to me. How's it going to give on a razor collab that they said to me a
while ago
Okay, you're happy with that though. You're happy. It's not swinging too much. Fuck it. I'm fine
All right. Don't worry about the chair Tom Steyer ladies and gentlemen
Tom Steyer is running for
California governor. Let me turn this off real quick as well. And we're very, we're very excited to have you here. I had a lieutenant governor candidate early on, but I haven't had this is the first one.
Ma, not not Fiona ma. No, not Fiona ma. No, Alan. Okay. He's he's the socialist or running.
Um, so our, no, I'll, I'm sorry, all of her mom, I messed up his name.
I apologize.
Okay.
Thank you, Austin ox.
Uh, so we got a lot of questions for you, uh, they're lined up obviously, but, um,
these are all sent in by your, no, no, I just, I, I set it up ahead of time,
but, okay, but, uh, I'm sure chat also has a lot of questions as well,
but you probably should not, uh, read chat.
I mean, you won't be able to anyway.
going a mile a minute. But first and foremost, there's a question I ask every
single candidate that sits next to me on the broadcast, which is the Zoran method.
What are your five top-line policy positions that you want to be defined
by? So I'm running on two things and I'm gonna answer your question but I'm
gonna put it in a little bit of context. You're very good at politics
That's already.
Affordability.
And also I feel like there's a straightforward struggle in this election that is the subtext
to every policy decision, which is a struggle between working people and what are the,
someone call them, the corporate special interest.
They're clearly becoming oligarchs, as is the word that I know people have used
on your show.
But clearly there's a struggle between the corporate interests that are trying to
to control our state and have controlled our state successfully
and working people who've gotten the shaft for 45 years.
So those are the two overarching issues.
And that I think subsumes policy,
but I'll give you the policies.
I mean, number one is housing to bring down housing costs.
And that's also got a multiple,
that is not a simple thing to do.
I always say to people,
it's not a silver bullet, it's silver buckshot.
There are multiple things that have to happen
for us to build a lot of housing, bring down housing costs,
but that's number one,
because that's the thing that's most crushing people
on a monthly basis.
Number two, and this is not in order of importance,
but number two is to introduce competition
to the electric monopolies that dominate this state.
We pay twice as much for electricity.
It's important to every family in this state,
except the ones that are in municipal utilities,
of which there are three big ones.
But it's also a symbol that monopolies
are allowed to rule us.
And the millen's ever supposed to say anything.
And in fact, that they will beat you up
if you try to say something which I'm clearly saying,
in which I think is long overdue.
Number three, I'm for single-payer health care.
And I'm for single-payer health care
because I've looked at the numbers,
I've studied where we're going,
I've studied what's causing every family in this state
to suffer the health care inflation
that's been going on for 40 years.
like clockwork and that is eating every family,
it's eating every business, it's eating every nonprofit,
and it's eating the state of California itself.
So that's number three.
Number four, we have an amazingly weird
tax structure in this state.
And I have gone to the ballot box three times
to take on huge funded corporate interests
to close their loopholes.
And that's the oil companies, the tobacco companies,
and out-of-state companies
that we're gaming our state income tax.
Number four in your list, since you're asking for five,
is to close the corporate real estate tax loophole
that's been there for over 40 years, that's worth 22 billion.
It's, you know, the thing is, there's no logic for it.
It just is.
What is the loophole?
How does it work?
Basically how it works is this.
In 1978, as part of Prop 13,
they were given a valuation of their properties
that escalates very slowly, 2% a year.
Those properties have escalated at multiples of that.
They are worth multiples of what they're paying taxes on.
But the original point of Prop 13 was to protect families
from being thrown out of their houses
because as the housing prices and values escalated,
they couldn't afford to pay their real estate taxes
in their houses, which they paid a fraction of
in the first place.
So the idea was for them to protect Granny
from getting thrown out of her house.
But of course, the lobbyists put in
commercial office buildings and malls.
And there's no reason for that.
Nobody's worried about Granny getting thrown out
of the office building she owns or the mall she owns.
And undoing that and having them pay real estate taxes
based on realistic values.
Current values is worth $23 billion here
to the people of California.
There's no reason not to do it.
There's no reason that this happened in the first place.
So that's number four.
And number five, I mean, these are not the only things
I've talked about, but number five is we gotta be
a top 10 school in state and education.
I'm sorry, we aren't.
There's big reasons for it, but we,
how can we call ourselves a successful state
in the 21st century if we're not educating our children?
How is that possible?
It's not possible.
What are your solutions for education?
And do they revolve around charter schools
or is it more so about restructuring the way
that public funding goes to public institutions?
It's 100% by public institutions.
Let me say 90% of the kids in the state of California
go to public school.
If we're gonna actually improve education
in the state of California,
we have to do it through the public schools.
We have to do it in conjunction with the teachers
who actually run those classrooms.
And everybody thinks that we spend so much on public schools.
The truth is, cost adjusted,
we pay 31st out of 50 per pupil in the United States of America.
Everyone thinks we spend so much.
The costs are so high,
what we're delivering is 31st out of 50.
So when I talk about closing a corporate tax loophole
for $22 billion,
a little less than half of that's gonna go to education.
There's a money problem.
Yes, can we do a better job?
but am I one of those people who's coming in here to say,
based on my zero years as a professional educator,
I believe I should be telling you guys how to educate.
No.
So let's get back to healthcare,
one of the main things that you brought up.
You're saying that you're in favor
of single-payer healthcare,
which obviously I'm also in favor of.
I think it doesn't go far enough.
I'm in favor of a nationalized healthcare system,
but I'm perfectly fine with, you know,
moving in that direction through an expansion
of social safety nets, such as Medicare for All
and a single payer system, you ran for president in 2020.
And when you ran for president in 2020,
there was Bernie Sanders who was also running
and he was running on single payer
and you actually came out with ads against single payer
saying that this was a system
that you had looked into deeply
and that you thought it had not worked.
how, what changed in your analysis to make me change my mind?
Yeah, to help you change your mind.
The facts.
You know, I was, so you should know,
I saw, I went to Stanford Business School
and they made this argument consistently,
which I believed,
which I believed that basically capitalism
and corporations were a way to drive down costs.
No, and I want to make a distinction here.
And I looked at what was going on in healthcare
and I looked at it over time
and I looked to see if that had happened one time.
And, you know, when I was looking at it in 19
and I was talking to all these people
who were bringing IT into the system
and saying this is gonna flatten the curve,
this is gonna drop cost, blah, blah, blah.
Nope, absolutely not true.
So I want it.
And so I said, look,
This is something that is eating this state.
I have to look at the facts honestly, and if I was wrong, I have to say so.
And I was wrong.
And what made me change my mind was looking at the facts and saying,
this was the prediction of what was happening.
Absolute BS.
So, okay, that didn't work.
We absolutely have to.
And let me get into why I think this is true and why I was wrong.
There are certain things for which capitalism is very effective.
So if you and I are competing to provide the best cell phone, okay, so we're each trying
to put in the most features and get the price the lowest so we can sell the most cell phones.
Okay.
And if you look and see that in those kinds of products, you know, private companies
coming with new apps and very effective.
But when private companies have one customer.
So if the electric monopolies have one customer, or if the health care system has one customer,
then the capitalist impulse and the incentive is to drive the cost up as much as possible
and drive the quality of care or the quality of electric generation as low as possible.
And I looked and I said, this is 70% inflation for as far as I can see.
We can't afford it.
It will bankrupt us.
We need to do a different system period.
I was wrong. Are you familiar with Deng Xiaoping? I certainly am. Yeah, because it kind of feels like
your attitude around it is, I mean, he was approaching it from the exact opposite side of the
equation, but some of the reforms implemented that worked in favor of what we've seen in China as
as far as Chinese prosperity goes, happened for that reason.
In the United States of America,
we have a complete neoliberal system
that is collapsing in and of itself
with no viable alternative.
And I would say that that is part of the reason why
there is not really a lot of market competition,
as you put it.
I think all industries inevitably want to monopolize.
It makes sense.
Oh, of course they do.
And it's up to the state.
But they're somewhere structurally, it really happens.
Yeah, and it's up to the state to try to hold back
that urge to the best of their ability.
And it's clear that we are completely captive
to corporate interests in this country,
as is intended by my assessment at least,
of what is supposed to happen in a capitalist state,
or at least under neoliberalism
is certainly what's happened.
You're saying that in the field of healthcare,
this simply doesn't work and the results speak for themselves. America has some of the worst
health care outcomes out of any OECD nation. You pay twice as much. Yeah, and you pay
the most amount of money. Now, that helps the GDP, even though that's an unreliable
metric to understand the overall health of an economy and certainly overall health of the
population. I think that there are a lot of other industries where this exists, mostly
industries that are natural, have a naturally high barrier of entry like airlines, industries
such as the public utilities.
And there have been very successful examples in places like Tennessee, for example, Tennessee
Valley Authority that have taken over the public utilities and have done a much better
job of serving the population.
For example, I don't know who, what's electric company delivers your electricity? Is it LADWP?
I think so, yeah. Okay. Just so you know, that's a municipal utility. The cost to its
customers are less than half of the municipal of the electric monopolies, I understand.
Yeah. Just so you know, less than half. And the other two big ones, you know, Sacramento is the
the same. You've got PG&E. The three big ones are SoCal Edison, San Diego Gas
Electric, and Seticast Electric. Yeah. What is your, how do you intend to break the
oligopoly structure that exists in the municipalities as a governor? In terms of
the electricity. Yeah. So in my mind, I'm gonna do two things because there's a
short-term thing I can do and there's a longer thing I can do and
And that's true of a lot of these problems, including health care, you know, delivering
money to the health care system to meet a current shortfall is necessary but longer term when
it's structural change.
In terms of electricity, in the short run, we need to change the incentives that the
PUC, that the public utilities commission puts on these electric monopolies.
And we can do that because the governor gets to pick the PUC and therefore who
you choose is policy.
And we need, you know, the policy incentives for an electric utility are very weird.
And I don't know how much, you know, and how much depth you've gone into this.
I don't want to be, but I'm not super familiar, but it's okay.
I'm here to learn.
Okay.
So basically, everyone thinks that the way they work is like a company where, you know,
you charge people for electricity, you spend your costs and the differences here income.
That is not how it works.
The way that it works is you make a capital expenditure.
approved by the Public Utilities Commission. It goes into a rate base and you get a guaranteed
return on it. That's how it works.
So, the state's footing the bill for everything?
For everything.
And so your incentive is if the two of us are running an electric monopoly and we say,
look, we could do this for $100 million or we could do this for $200 million. Now
if we do it for $100 million and we get a 10% guaranteed return, you know, that
would be a million dollars, but if we do or 10 million dollars, but if we do a 200 million
will make 20 million dollars. Yeah. Now, which do you think we should do boys? Corporate
consolidation yields. It makes it much easier to engage in not price fixing, of course,
but this is really literally how it works. Yeah. Yeah. No, I mean, this is this is
an aspect of like virtually every, uh, every, every facet of existence in America at
this point as, as, you know, we have a cartel structure pretty much for everything.
Yes, but let me say this, in this case, just to give you some more numbers, to
generate electricity right now in solar and wind is between one and two cents a
kilowatt hour. Just if you wanted to is all that really matters. To put it, to
stick it in a battery and store it is a couple more cents. If PG&E it's 48
sense a kilowatt hour. Yeah. I mean, think about that. If you put solar on your roof and battery,
the vast majority of the electricity that you're going to use is actually being produced
for under four cents, and you're paying more than 10 times that. So the question is,
isn't there a way to introduce competition? And there is at a local level to take advantage
of the incredible changes and advances in electricity generation, electricity storage,
and electricity distribution and introduce that competition in state so that it's no longer legal
to compete on a local basis. I mean, look, there's an alternative there too. I mean, I don't have a
problem with state run monopolies at all as long as they're left accountable to the people.
That's the reason why I use the example of Tennessee Valley Authority.
So a question I have for you is how are you going to be different than our current
Governor Gavin Newsom. You've brought up a couple examples, but there's one that I obviously
have to ask you, since you're a billionaire, so there's a wealth tax. There's a billionaire's
tax that's being talked about right now. Governor Gavin Newsom, because of his ambitions
for a higher office, has decided that the successful strategy of maybe one day becoming
president is to go against that. And he's actively petitioning against that. What
What is your assessment on the billionaire's tax?
So let me start by saying I'm in favor of a different tax structure where billionaires
pay more money.
And I'm not equivocal about that.
Absolutely.
I started by saying we have a tax structure that makes no sense.
And in fact, I'm specifically in favor of one where the big corporations and the richest
people pay more.
Full stop.
Billionaires tax that specifically people are collecting signatures for in my mind has some specific issues with it and
Where I feel like if we're gonna redo the tax structure
We should do it right because we're gonna own it for a long time. This is a one-time fix
What are your issues with the what the billionaire's taxes stands? This is a one-time fix. It's not when I'm talking about closing the
Corporate real estate tax loophole
That's every year that goes on it raises more money and it goes on forever and it and it's there
This is a one-time tax. Why not both?
Well, let me keep going back because we're there's a way to do this tax that is
Different and the second thing that's true about this taxes. I don't know if you've looked at how it distributes the money
but it distributes the money in a way that is
Well, I'll say
It doesn't include in a meaningful way education doesn't include a lot of the other priorities in this state
Where is it going in the distribution that you have issue with 90% of it goes explicitly to healthcare?
Mm-hmm, and the point is do we need the money in healthcare? Yes. Do we need the money everywhere else?
Yes
And so to a very large extent what I'm saying is this is if it's a question about
Revenues which I agree with because we do have a shortfall and we should have this tilted in this way
So you're saying you want tax bill in this further?
then this tax goes and distributed.
I'm saying I wanna do it in a way that works for the state.
And the concept I'm behind, but the way this works,
it seems to me has actual structural issues
that we can do much better.
And so if we're gonna redo the tax structure,
which we are, I mean, I'm starting with talking about
closing this tax loophole, but we're gonna have to read,
I don't know how much, how closely you've followed
Hassan the way our taxes work,
but it's very much a yo-yo.
When times are good, we take in a ton of taxes.
When times are bad, we take in no taxes.
And so we go from feast to famine.
Well, a big part of that is because I think
a lot of people park their assets in the stock market
and therefore most of that is non-taxable.
Like unless they take it out
and many billionaires and millionaires as well
take advantage of the buy, borrow, die strategy
where they just leverage the existing assets
that have a super favorable interest rate.
questionably true. And so there are a lot, if you look at what they actually pay, what
you see is there are completely legal ways for them to avoid paying taxes and so that
they're, and then it's not just, you know, borrow by borrow guy, it's also by borrow
leave.
Yeah. Well, there's solutions to that like an exit tax. But question for you is some of the some of the repercussions that have been presented over and over again, which is basic econ, I think, which is a lie is that this will cause, you know, big answers.
Yeah, this will cause a wealth to leave the state. I don't believe that. You're a billionaire.
You know other billionaires. This is a conversation I'm sure that takes place all the time, but
it never actually ends up happening.
Famously, some people have left as a result of the threat of this tax. But let me say this.
I don't think that's the point, Son. I imagine on your side on this.
Well, the individuals leave, but the economic activity doesn't go away.
But my point about this is, this is the best place to start a company.
This is the best place to grow a company.
This is the best place to invent a company.
And that is really important to the state of California.
And so to a very large extent, I am, as you are suggesting, I am truly focused on
making sure that continues to be true.
And I feel as if the people who come here from overseas or from other states to take
advantage of that ecosystem, which has taken decades to build, which has been built by
working people all over this state who continue to make this state run, and to come here and
rip that off and try and avoid any responsibility to the 40 million other people in the state.
It's completely wrong.
That is, I have no, I'm strong and it shouldn't be, we should be protecting ourselves against
that.
What's your, what's your perspective on, I mean,
what's your solution to it is what I mean.
Cause like local will say,
people will say that a wealth tax could never work, right?
A wealth tax is impossible to work out
when in fact we already have something similar to that
as far as like property taxes goes,
like there's always,
there are people that can evaluate
your increase in your net worth
and try to tax the increase in your net worth year over year
in a way that is sustainable
and a way that doesn't actually harm the producers.
So let me say a couple of things about taxes.
Closing loopholes seems pretty benign,
but that will have to go to the ballot.
I've said we'll have a special election.
And let me say this, before we write the rules for that,
we will sit down with a whole bunch of our allies
to make sure that it reflects everybody's interest.
And so I am sure that we have other ideas
that people haven't talked about
or haven't talked about as part of this campaign
in terms of how to redo the way that we have the kind of fees
and taxes we charge.
One of the things I really wanna do Hassan is do that.
You can't pass any of these things
just because you're the governor.
And I think it's really important in doing this,
hold one of my favorite expressions if you want me in at the landing ask me to take off.
But in fact before we put something out that we have that we go to all the people who are we view
as the coalition that is pushing the interests of working people in this state the interests of
justice in this state to make sure that everybody's on the same page. I think part of the reason
why there is a broad popular support for this ballot initiative in the form of billionaires
taxes regardless of whether it's the most efficient way to tax billionaires or not
is because people just don't care. People are like I don't care. It's anger. It's people are look
and they're absolutely right. What we have seen is a group of people who come across as reckless,
selfish, incredibly ambitious and anti-democratic across the board. And so of course people are
furious and of course people are furious that they have what seems to be and actually seems to
be almost limitless wealth, which they're absolutely interested in preserving 100% of.
And people feel like, yeah, they're angry
and they're right to be angry.
And I'm, it's absolutely right.
And that's what's going on.
I mean, when you had people on here talking about
the oligarchs, if you see what's going on in this election,
there is a, as much as there's,
what you're describing is the anger of working people
at a system that seems rigged and unfair
with people who are extremely selfish
and extremely obnoxious, trying to have their way.
And on the other side, people are absolutely furious
about what they feel is unfair.
and they are going to push for all the things that I just said people are
seeing to a further degree, to a much greater degree.
And that's what's going on in this election. So of course, people are mad.
I mean, I, yes, I understand.
But of course the obvious element of the room is the fact that you are also
a part of the, the oligarch class as someone with profound wealth.
Can I address that? Yes.
So I want to say two things. The first thing I want to say is this. My wife and I have
said we'll give the bulk of our money away while we're alive. I guarantee I won't be
close to building it right now. This is not something where I'm fighting to hang on to
my money. This is not something where I'm fighting to increase my money, increase my
control over society. That's not true. You can see the last 14 years of my life
and we've very, very consistently pushed for justice and very, very consistently put,
you know, given money away and tried to use it in a way that's constructive and, you know,
the opposite.
In fact, if you, the actual oligarchs, you will find, see me as a threat.
And in fact, the things that I've done have been very directly result oriented to push
back against that whole move.
So, you know, from my standpoint, and, you know, that is not what I stand for
in my life.
That's not what I care about in life.
That's not what my parents cared about.
not what my wife cares about, that's not what my brother cares about. We have a long history
of being caring about what is your positive impact on society and that's what I care about.
And that is different from all the people who you see in the press consistently doing
things where people are furious about their selfishness.
Yeah. I mean, there are ways in which a lot of super wealthy people also engage in
charitable contributions. One of the most common ways in which people do this is like
the 501c4 structure or the 501c3 structure where like, you know, Mark Zuckerberg is,
he has designed his entire network to go into the structure and it's oftentimes seen as like
a tax shelter that you can go to at any given point and take out money from and continue
to generate tremendous amounts of wealth, continue to accumulate tremendous amounts of wealth.
What is the difference that you would say is with your approach to charitable contributions?
Well, I'll give you an example of something that we've done for the last 20 years. That's on.
So, Kat and I started a non-profit community bank basically to undo redlining. So, to go into
to the parts of rural and urban California
and make loans for low income housing,
for used cars, for nonprofits,
and for businesses that banks wouldn't make.
And that money is gone.
That bank has to make enough money
so the FDIC will ensure our deposits,
or it's not a bank.
But every single loan is measured
in terms of does it help economic justice,
does it help environmental justice?
And so from my standpoint, that's not it.
There's no way I get them what you're saying,
you know, you can put it in and it comes back.
This can never come back.
That bank has made billions of dollars of loans
for the purposes I described.
It makes, as an example, when we do use car loans,
use car loans are one of the places
where people get ripped off the most, just so you know.
It's usually people who aren't,
that's financially sophisticated,
who need a ride to work,
and who have a used car salesman
writing the terms of that loan.
The average loan we rewrite is 21%.
Our average starting point is 11,
and it goes down from there if you meet your payments.
And our whole goal is to make enough money,
just enough money to please the FDIC,
but to basically take people out of being ripped off
by the system and basically take
to undo the structural racism that's existed
in the finance system for as long as anyone can remember.
And so there's no gimmick there.
That money's gone, but the work is incredibly,
you know, I look at it and I say to everybody,
you get 10 times leverage on your money
and then you get to reuse it and do it again
and you can measure the results year in, year out.
That's not a gimmick.
That's a thing.
No, it's not, but to me, it kind of feels as though,
as society has moved in a specific direction,
I mean, let's talk about that actually.
23% of, or 33% of Democrats now call themselves
Democratic Socialists.
Is that right?
It's up to 33?
Yes, 33%.
Is that just California or is that nationwide?
No, no, no, that's nationwide from what I understand. I mean, these polls are, who knows if people even fully understand what that even means. There's a lot of, there's, there's a lot of disagreements within the movement as well.
But the reason I ask that is because, like, what does that say to you? What does that say to you living in the United States of America as a billionaire about the way people feel about the current system capitalism?
Well, look, I don't think there's any question that's on.
And I say this every day, we have to reinvent democracy in this country, and we have to reinvent
capitalism.
And there's no doubt about it.
Because 33% of Democrats are saying, we need to change structurally, that structurally
this is not working.
And that is, you know, I don't know it's democratic, so one of the things I thought
about before I came on here is for you to tell me exactly what the implications
But there's no doubt about the basic point, which is not working.
And I think if you think about why is the billionaire tax popular?
Because people are so damn mad.
Of course they're mad.
And if you look at the popularity of the two parties, it's incredibly low.
Are you familiar with stakeholder capitalism and numerous other initiatives that were
implemented in the early stages of like post-2016 election where a lot of wealthy people were
where like the pickaxes are out, people are going to,
people are gonna riot, we need to find
a reasonable solution to this problem.
Okay, so let me say this.
We have seen in the last 14 months,
a pretty straightforward attack on human rights in America
and on the, you know, sort of electoral politics,
electoral democracy in America and it's just starting and what we've also seen
at the same time is complete silence in this community. So when you say to me,
you know, do you, do I think that what they have to say is based on a deep
sense of patriotism or broader view or a value system that goes beyond, you know,
I don't think so. No, I don't think it was a, it was a deep sense of
the reason why I brought that up is because I think it was a defense mechanism by a bunch
of very smart and very successful, very wealthy people that realized that this system was producing
so much inequality that it would completely collapse and that in order for it not to completely
collapse like a riot tax of sorts, something that I've heard at least like wealthy libertarians
really get called a riot tax. I've never heard that.
Well, the libertarians call welfare a riot tax. And it expands beyond that, obviously. But like
basically, basically, the system is on the verge of collapse in its entirety. So we have to figure
out a way to do a more ethical version of capitalism. But I don't think capitalism in and of itself,
given the contradictions, is ever going to produce a wealthier or a more egalitarian version
of itself. This is not how it works. Just as companies want to monopolize and eat out
the rest of the competition and merge, the understanding is that the system is designed
this way and that eventually, no matter what happens, as long as in the absence of complete
abolition, that there is always going to be a return to the exact same inequalities.
I believe that, and I think that's the major difference between someone who's a socialist
and someone who's a capitalist.
There are people who are social democrats.
I suspect that given by what you're saying, you are a social democrat, one that wants,
you know, robust safety nets, robust social safety nets, one that believes in implementing
some kind of regulatory safeguard when companies get completely out of control.
But that was how the system was designed initially and there's a reason why there's a point
of failure and that's because of, it's not because of like too much greed necessarily
but it's more so that the system is designed to produce these results eventually because
they've taken over the government.
Well, that, the last thing that you said is the problem.
I mean when I look at this system and whenever I see that there's something, I mean if
I did close these three tax loopholes, they weren't a secret.
It wasn't like everybody didn't know those tax loopholes
agreed, it was just the people who were saving the taxes
and were enjoying the loophole had immense power
because they had a lot of money and a lot of lobbyists.
And every time, when we see an inability of government
to act, an inability to do what's right,
my attitude is there's money at the bottom of it.
And so we have a system where, honestly, a lot of this,
when I look at 2026 and see what I think
is going to happen, which I think is gigantic independent
expenditures supporting libertarian candidates
or an attacking organized labor.
I'm like, yeah, that is exactly the issue in this system
is when corporations take over the government
and prevent government doing the right thing
and prevent government from stopping monopolies
prevent regulation and, you know, basically be working people over and over again. And
that is exactly what I'm fighting against.
Yeah. While we were talking, while we were talking, a new poll came out that says, which
is a better economic system amongst all Americans with 59% saying capitalism, 41% saying socialism
among Republicans, 74% say capitalism, 26% say socialism, which is strange enough.
and have itself and among Democrats the majority at 54% say socialism and 46% say capitalism
you're running out of time with this ethical capitalism. Let me ask you this question,
what is socialism? So what does it look like? Socialism is an economic organization that
that changes the mechanism of control simply put
from the hands of the dictatorship
of the capital owning class
to the dictatorship of the proletariat.
There's many different versions of it.
There's decentralized versions of it.
There's centralized versions of it.
Some of them are-
So give an example of one.
I mean, like, which is one in-
China would be a transitional social estate, for example.
That's like a very, that is one of the modern examples
of at least success.
The capital flows are still completely controlled
in the hands of the state.
And that while, as we referenced, Deng Xiaoping,
there's like different reforms
that have been implemented in the past.
The way that the state currently operates
is they design a five-year plan.
They have a specific industrial targets
that they wanna hit.
And the goal there is not like redistributive policies
or like a robust welfare state at all,
but instead is to improve the material conditions
of the working class.
And the state dishes out by controlling the bank system,
controlling capital flows, dishes out money
in the direction of certain industrial output targets.
And also has control over.
But still has tons of private companies.
Yeah.
That are actually.
The lighter industry is still pretty exposed to what looks like a private market, but the
stock market in China is not necessarily a real thing. It's just, it's functionally gambling
for the most part. Stock market is gambling here as well, but you see what I mean. There's
not even any sort of fundamentals that people rely on. Ultimately, socialism at its root
means workers owning the means of production. It is and what I was saying about China is
to a large extent their big companies there is a much heavier governmental control aspect to it
and there are five-year plans. I completely agree with that but the big companies are private.
Yeah but it's not I like to describe what China is doing which is
just ask you that because I'd like the one that you think is the best. Yeah I say that
China wears capitalism like a sleeve. And at the end of the day, while there is a private
enterprise inside of the state, which creates a system of competition for innovation, which
fosters innovation, ultimately it's still controlled by the government. And it's at
the directive of the government. There is like a lot more emphasis on centralized control,
planning and central control over all of the outputs. They go, they want to build more housing.
They realize that housing needs to, needs to be built. They tell the banks or and they tell
everyone that's that that's paying attention. If you go into, if you go into real estate,
you're going to get loans. You're going to be able to build a real estate company.
And then they build the housing and then, um, and then move in the direction of EVs.
That's been the real estate. They created this gigantic bubble. Yeah, but that's something that's they've been lugging for the last
See, this is what I mean about state control
Um, they design it in a way that that resembles what what it would look like under capitalism
But then in the aftermath of that they don't receive the same shocks
What what happened in china as far as the real estate bubble if it were to happen here in the united states of america
or something similar to that has happened in the past.
We saw the impact of the 2008 housing market crash.
In China, no such market crash took place.
And the reason for that is because there's still,
there's still state mechanisms of play that work
in the recovery side.
There's still state mechanisms of play
that supersede the interests of capital.
We gave a big parachute to corporations in the aftermath
2008 financial crisis, the housing market crash, that didn't happen in China.
One of the more prominent examples of this was, for example, they went to like, I forget
the name of the company now, but they literally went and asked a stripped the billionaire
that was in charge of one of the major real estate developers, Evergrande, I believe
it was.
It was Evergrande.
Yeah, where they told them, you're selling your yacht, you're selling all of your
artwork in order to put up collateral for the state paying out the rest of the rest of the people.
Let me say this. If there was an example of failed financial policy in the United States,
it was the way we handled the 2008 crash. Because there's no doubt that what you're saying,
that there was no retribution, there was no penalty to the people running those big
financial institutions is absolutely true and it was absolutely wrong and the
question and to me it's like you were saying the issue that we're having is
that the big corporations in effect are controlling the government in effect
they were controlling the government and in fact now they're you know have
a government guarantee on a private corporation which means they get to you
know yeah I agree with that and so to me I actually think Dungchamping is a
huge hero because the the changes that he instituted in China led to the biggest
move of poor people into the world into the middle class in the history of the
world by far. Yeah, one billion people one billion people taking out of
poverty pretty much. It's absolutely amazing. But to me that was what I'm
trying to say which is this. But the state of the world didn't go away. I understand that, I
understand that. But what I'm trying to say is this. He tried to design the
incentives to let the Chinese people build them. I mean, I don't think he
built them out. He gave them a framework to build themselves out and that was
and they did an amazing job. And I think he, you know, he's a hero of
somebody who could, you know, you're saying, yes, he kept the government in
control. And I'm saying, well, here the problem is I agree with you. The
government is being controlled by interests. Yes. In America, capital
controls the government. In China, the government controls capital. That's the
major difference here and there's no I agree with that even though one might say
there isn't like a democratic process where they're like voting exactly like
input output voting exactly which way the government is supposed to be the
government which direction the government supposed to be moving even in
their own internal like appointment process like people are working from the
working class background working in the countryside before they get to the
standing committee or anywhere near the command structure within the party so
they have a they've developed a deeper understanding of like what the
necessities are and how to materially improve people's living conditions and
the results speak for themselves. But let me say this there's been a profound
change in China under Xi Jinping. This is not this is very far from California but
it's actually but what I'm saying is this. Do you not like the the changes
that have been implemented under Xi Jinping? Well here's the thing I
I dislike the most, is he's present for life.
Always before the leader had two, five year terms.
And there was a sense that it was a much broader coalition
of people running the country and a much broader group.
It's still the Chinese Communist Party running the country,
but people absolutely took their terms
and he's the first person who said,
no, I'm doing this forever.
And it's now me.
And I think that that has a,
I thought that's a big difference.
No, I agree. It's just people seem to be happy with the results so far and I feel like it's entirely in the hands of them continuing to bring about changes that people are appreciating.
Well, let me say this, that if the President of the United States says, which many people suspect him of saying is, up until now there's been a constitutional amendment that says it's two terms per president and I'm now president for life.
for life. Am I going to be happy about that? I'm going to go with no.
If Donald Trump was a communist, I wouldn't have an issue with it, I'll be honest. If
Donald Trump was able to lift, if Donald Trump was able to improve people's living standards
to the same degree, or if Donald Trump was able to bring about national prosperity to
a similar degree, it's like the FDR equation. I wish there was a better line of succession
for FDR, I guess, but FDR was able to change the trajectory of America with all of the incredibly
popular things he put in place.
I completely agree with you, and I think that what he did was redefine the relationship between
government and people.
He said, we have a real responsibility to each other, and this government is going to make
sure that we do this, and it's not kind of free for all.
It's not an open competition in fact, everybody has rights.
In any case, so that's one of the reasons why I don't,
I'm not even defending the term limit structure within,
the term limit changes under Xi Jinping.
It's not something that I care about all that much,
but what are some of the structural changes
that he made as far as like his governance
or his economic policies that you disagree with?
Well, you know, it's more it is more about governance that he has very much cleared out
everybody who doesn't report to him.
And it's very much gone from, you know, a broad based group to basically, you know, his control
and making sure that people report to him.
And that's been a consistent policy over the last 10 years.
And the reason I care about that is it scares me.
It scares me that a person, you may like their system, and I think it's been incredibly successful.
So yes, I hear you, and I'm somebody who's saying, I change my mind when the facts change,
or when the facts are clear.
But the one thing that I think is also clear is that when you get into a situation of
someone taking control, the idea that that doesn't change them, it always changes them.
As far as Xi Jinping goes, it's actually the opposite of the way that it's presented in
Western news.
He's been a, his main structural change in China was to somehow rein back in a lot of
the corruption that had come from, you know, Deng's reforms that were very helpful initially
in terms of, you know, developing Chinese prosperity.
not only that, but he's also literally like purge the ranks of some of his closest allies
as well, including the ones in the military. So famously just fire the lead. Yeah. So the
way that the way that is like a lot of stuff is interpreted in the Western media is very
different. This is beyond the term limits, of course. The term limits thing you do
have a decent point on but as far as like as far as what he has done in terms of
anti-corruption has been very popular in China let me say this I don't think we're
going to a permanent governor no I don't think when we think about where we're
going we're starting from a place we're not starting from scratch we're
starting from here yeah and so when we think about change it's like we don't
have a blank slate. In the state of California, you have a couple hundred years at least of
history and a couple hundred years of expectations and institutions that are built here. So when
we think about change, believe it or not, introducing competition into the electric
system is structural change. Talking about single payer health care is structural
change. The things I'm talking about to a large extent are, yeah, we have a short
problem but we need structural change in the long run but the idea that we're
gonna get away with the system that's been here whole hog you know and in one
fell swoop is I don't think it's gonna happen either I believe in a system of
reforms and and building a robust base of of pressure
organized labor through years and years of organizing until it gets to a
point where there are workers' councils and there's a lot more autonomy for the working
class that they can actually have the political education, the political will, and be able
to make these sorts of decisions that benefit them as opposed to benefit the capital owning
class.
But before we get there, we were talking about monopolies.
There is, by the time, if you were elected in office, the Paramount Skydance Warner Brothers
Discovery merger would come across your desk.
What would you do as a governor to tackle this very obvious, this very obvious monopolistic
merger?
Look, okay.
And it's worse than that.
Because obviously, one of the things...
What are you going to do about that, Alyson?
I was about to say, that was my point to you.
It's like, you're talking about this just in terms of the number of jobs that are going to be destroyed by this,
the reduction in the quality of entertainment and how bad this is for Los Angeles, California.
All true. But that's not all that's bad about this. Obviously, what we're seeing is the,
you know, I don't want to use the term all the time, oligarchs, but let's just use the
term oligarchs. They're trying to buy all the means of communication, right?
They're buying. They already have. Well, not. Well, it's not true that they've bought all of them,
but Trump is trying to intimidate every of the other ones by threatening to sue them
for gigantic bucks and do all these things that he can do to punish them if they actually try
to tell them. I just meant like every single one of these like organs of media. They're
trying to buy entire entire social media platforms yes owned by a billion i agree and i'm saying
they're trying to not just to impact the democracy now they want to control the democracy and they
want to do it in multiple ways but one of the ways is by buying all the means of communication
so that the what people hear is by definition slanted and do i think that the ellisons will
do that yes i think that that's a big part of what this is about so we can we should talk
about jobs but we should also talk about communications because if people only hear the big lie then they
have no what else are they going to believe? And that's very much what's going on here.
So to a large extent if you're the governor of California can you undo a merger? No.
You know what can you do? What you can do? Well the attorney general in California actually
said that they were going to try to stop it. So I think there are some ways. I mean
I mean, it's not under your control, I guess,
but there are some antitrust initiatives
that the state attorney general
could potentially implement.
I'm sure they can try.
But it's on, I can tell you,
I've watched hundreds of mergers go down
and I've never seen it get stopped by a state.
Have you thought about like building a coalition
with other states as well, if necessary?
I mean, so I haven't because this is really,
It is honestly about California to a very large extent.
This is very much a merger between California,
you know, about California companies.
What I would say is what we are,
I would put this in a slightly different context
if you don't mind.
And that's this,
we are having a profound dramatic intense difference
of opinion about everything with this administration
in Washington DC.
This is obviously an antitrust problem.
it's overwhelmingly an anti-trust problem.
And that would be a very straightforward
on traditional anti-trust law to say shouldn't happen.
It is clear that this president improperly
is influencing what's happening here
and is pushing it really hard.
It is clear that he is happy to punish California.
All the things we're saying are bad, are bad.
And the fact that they're bad,
he considers them to be good.
And so to a very large extent,
what we're seeing is he is trying to punish California
and that is going on in multiple venues all the time
and will get much worse as the election approaches
in November.
And so the real, I don't mean to not answer your question
about this merger, but to a very large extent,
somehow California has to have ability to push back,
to be organized and push back on this.
Yes, we can sue everywhere
and of course we should sue everywhere.
I get that.
And you know, Rob Bonta is a good attorney general
and he will sue and I'm sure he will continue to sue.
But you have noticed that when the Supreme Court said,
no tariffs, Trump's answer was, okay, no tariffs.
Here's my answer, tariffs.
He's not someone who obeys the law.
So to a very, but the question is
how are we actually gonna make our case?
How are we actually gonna back this guy off?
How are we actually gonna support?
And to me, that is about organization.
That is about working with organized labor.
That is about feed on the street.
And it's also a vision of something different
because the real way the last time we saw
a corrupt, violent government suppression
of people just living their American lives
was the civil rights movement.
And the way they backed them off,
yes, there were legal things,
but to a very large extent,
it was about being organized,
being in the street, having a different vision
and showing the world the difference between right and wrong.
There was also a lot of, there was an armed Vanguard component to, to what we're talking
about as well, that, that certainly played a role in this pressure campaign.
Yes.
Um, the Black Panther party, I mean, the state of California, as a matter of fact, under
Ronald Reagan, uh, was, was the, uh, I think last time the Ronald Reagan, uh, took
action against gun ownership, the Mulford Act, if I'm remembering it correctly, after the
Black Panther Party protested using their legal right to demonstrate with their arms.
But everyone plays a different role in stuff like this. I do want to ask you about ICE.
So when you were a hedge fund manager, your firm invested $90 million in private prisons
and detention centers and I want to know how that aligns with your current stance on
ice because from what I understand you're in favor of ice abolition.
So that happened 22 years ago and it was a big mistake and I realized it was a big mistake
and sold it over 20 years ago.
And the reason I sold it was for the reason you're saying and it was more than a mistake
and it was this.
It was a wake-up call that I was in the wrong place.
I mean people wonder why did you walk away from a big business that you'd started
that was worth a ton of money. And the answer is because it didn't align with my
mind. Okay. And so if you look at the last 20 years, and that was a real wake-up
call, you know, we have pushed on every justice-related thing about incarceration
and the justice system itself for the last 20 years. We have a group of 20
20 people in Sacramento, and we have pushed on every one of those.
And in fact, I think that I am endorsed by Smart Justice,
which is a very much about rehabilitative justice organization.
And so my wife spent 10 years going into San Quentin.
My mom taught in prison.
It was a mistake.
But it also was a chance for absolute wake up call.
I mean, you're sitting here saying, and I hear you Hassan,
The capitalist system has real contradictions and problems in there.
And that's really why I walked away from my business, where I felt like this is taking
me to places that are absolutely antithetical to what I believe in.
And that's why I did it.
And that's why I spent the last 14 years working on this.
What are some of the other avenues that you felt like was deeply unethical?
Also, I'm asking you these questions that come across like tough questions, but I want
you to...
No, no, no, no, no.
I always say...
There are no tough questions.
There are people who don't have good answers.
Yeah, I also think that it's important to understand the the like moral or intellectual journey that you went through to
Yeah, I have to have gone to some, you know the story of Paul on the road to Damascus
He's the biggest antichrist person and he realized I made a huge mistake and he becomes the biggest pro-christ person
On the road to Damascus and it's like he made a change. Jesus Christ is the socialist in this equation. Is that what you're saying?
Okay
But I've said justices, and I will say this,
they're, you know, I felt like,
and I'll give you a perfect example.
People are always saying to me, you know,
you invested, you've spent a ton of time environmentalism,
but your firm had invested in fossil fuels.
And the answer is, sure.
Everybody invested in fossil fuels.
It's a huge part of the economy.
We invested less than our share,
but we invested in fossil fuels.
And I decided I can't invest in fossil fuels.
We need to divest.
We need to get out of all these things.
And I felt like I can't change,
even though I started that firm,
I couldn't change that firm's culture
because that was not what people were there for.
And so I very much had to leave and basically go
and work on the things that I cared about.
And I spent, I could go into immense detail to you
about how I think about energy
and how I think we're gonna actually do it
in a clean way and what it's gonna take
is governor to make that happen
and why it's such a powerful role.
And that's true.
but I was coming from a place that was completely different
and I had to make a change.
Speaking of divestments,
there was a question that was asked
about boycott divestments and sanctions
to all of the candidates and the way I see it.
Okay.
All right. Oh, this is the last question.
Or you've only got a ton.
Yeah. And the way I see it is that this is
A way for candidates to certainly show how earnest they are to the broader subsets of
the population, much like the billionaire's tax or any kind of initiative that takes away
well from billionaires with redistributive policies, both in the Democratic Party's
base of support, there's like 80% approval, not for BDS necessarily, but a way to decouple
from Israel.
What are your opinions on that issue?
Well, what I said was I don't believe in divestment. Mm-hmm. But what I have what I also said is you believe in divestment for some stuff
Though like the private prisons. I believe it. Well, let me say this. I believe in my
Operating in
divesting from everything doesn't have a positive impact
to be honest mm-hmm what I said what I was saying is
They were talking about Calpers and Calsters and they're gonna run their
operation and I don't believe that we can tell them exactly how to do that but
let me say this about Israel in general what I said in that same forum was I have
huge problems with the government of Israel and what we've seen is a
continuing you know look I'm someone who believes there's a huge problem in
the Middle East this is and I'm sold fashion the only thing I believe in is
a two-state solution that everybody has a right to self-determination and
And that if one of the if the state of Israel is trying to if the government of Israel is trying to make sure that there is no two-state solution
Which is the been the approach for a long time
That is going against the only thing that I think could possibly solve this and the only just way that we could possibly
Solve this and so what we're seeing is
continued a
Very long program to make sure that that's impossible
I don't believe that is impossible
But that's been the approach of this government for a very long period of time
And so do I think that that's okay? No, I don't think that's okay. I mean a huge problem with it
But you've been in the house been in charge of Israel for longer than Xi Jinping has been in charge of China
And it's been and it's been a kid that has been the entire drift of that whole thing
And so what we've seen it, you know what we're seeing is is there a way for us to push back on that as
the as the government of the United States of Christ there is I
Mean there's no question in the state of California. It's a very powerful economy. It's a very power
it's the what fourth largest economy in the world I think that I think that even attempts and or
moving in that direction which would be certainly something that is is unheard of and would definitely
cause you to cut away from your from the other candidates that you are going up against from
Eric Swalwell to to all these other candidates. Let me say this one of the things I've been
talking about is getting rid of PAC money. And the reason I'm against PAC money is I feel like
any organization that is trying to push the state of California, except in the interest of its citizens,
why should we love that? And so to a large extent what I've been talking about is corporate
PACs because I said to you every time we see something corrupt at the back of it is some
corporate interest that has power and it has power through lobbying has power through money
and they want the system to be bent in their favor and they're successful in it because it's so
expensive to run in this state. You're saying APEC is what I think in the state of California.
But what I'm saying is the idea that we would have APEC who is trying to push California
in the interest of a foreign country doesn't I don't understand how that could possibly make
make sense.
I mean, there have been some initiatives taken
that Gavin Newsom actually signed into law
about like the education of the issue of Israel-Palestine
that would go against all of the academic literature
on the subject matter.
Is there any initiative that you think you could take
as the governor that would change the trajectory
of like things like AB 715, for example?
Or are you in support of things like that?
Well, what I am in support of is actually us speaking up
on this issue and actually pushing back against the idea
that there can be money in our politics that is determined,
that is supporting anything except the interest
of the people of California.
And that is something that I have said publicly
we should get.
And that is a huge change.
And that is the one that I think
is at the heart of so much of this stuff.
And that is something I would, to me,
you're saying what is different, that's very different.
So you think you have a difference in your interpretation
on this issue in comparison to someone like Eric Swalwell?
I do.
First of all, I'm not taking money.
Yeah.
So that's a huge difference because one of the things
I'm saying is, look, I'm not taking money
from any of these people.
That's why I can be an honest broker.
That's why I can stand up for the people of California.
And in this issue, I'm saying, look,
I don't think this money is veteran.
I said I don't want corporate PAC money.
I don't think that should be PAC money from a country.
It doesn't make sense to me.
But that's across the board.
And that's understandable.
I mean, you're a billionaire.
I'm also in favor of removing corporate donations
and corporate PACs in general from all elections.
I think that it's undemocratic.
It's an undemocratic system, regardless.
But the reason why I'm asking you about this
specifically is because this is the one area
where with the exception of some of the other candidates
like Butch Ware or, I mean, who are not really totally...
No one's really standing up on this.
Yes, this is not it.
And it's, and I know for a fact that while California
has a lot of wealthy donors who are very much invested
in the continued state of Israel behaving in the ways
that it does, as far as like the broad base
of support goes, I've been out there
And and there's you know approval ratings that that also suggested like the overwhelming majority of not only just the Democratic Party's base of support
But just like all Californians in general. I think what we've seen right? I saw there's no question. What is gone on as a result of Gaza is a complete
Walking away from supporting this is really government. Mm-hmm. Oh, I don't I think that that's what that's overwhelmingly obvious
there was a huge article about it last week on Friday.
They released a poll which made that extremely clear,
because what people have seen online
is something that people cannot support.
And what I'm saying is, look,
the way that this works in my mind,
when we see something in our system that seems
as if it's going against the interest
that people overwhelmingly hold,
there's usually money in back of it,
and that is the right way to approach it.
That's the right way to attack it,
because that's what's corrupting our system.
Well, yeah, I mean, it's a, it is in some ways a deflectionary mechanism that some democratic
politicians have deployed, including Gavin Newsom that says, I will never take APAC
money.
Is that true?
He's never taken APAC money.
Um, he's given $500 to APAC back in the day, but he's never taken, he, he's saying
he won't commit to taking APAC money.
Um, I think in the state of California, it's not APAC as JPEC anyway, but, uh,
Regardless, the reason why I'm bringing this up is because when asked, he says, I don't
want to take a pack of money, but when asked directly by Ben Shapiro, if Israel was committing
a genocide, he deflected and refused to answer that question.
And I think for a lot of people, and I talked to a lot of candidates, I talked to a lot
of Democrats, I talked to independent candidates.
This question is one that the majorities are in agreement with, historians, academics,
the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice, and yet it's one.
I don't think there's any question.
Americans have seen war crimes on their phones, and that's what they're responding
to.
And what we're seeing is a move in this world, including in the last three days,
it might makes right and that's all that's going to matter.
And that's what's going on.
You know, I think, I don't think anybody's really feel sorry
for the people that were running around
because they were terrible to their own people.
But the truth is what we're seeing is a world
where the point is might makes right
and we'll do whatever we want.
And if you don't like it, that's just too bad.
And there's no sense of justice in it.
And of course, that is a terrible step.
And we've seen it in Gaza,
but we've seen it very broadly.
And that's something that's ongoing.
And is that something which, of course,
I'm completely opposed to?
Of course, I'm completely opposed to that.
Okay, so you, that's almost identical to what,
I don't mean to, I don't mean to push you,
but that's almost identical to what Gavin Newsom said,
the Ben Shapiro, when Ben Shapiro said,
do you think there's a genocide going on in Gaza?
What I think, well, what I think is this,
I think that this Israeli government
has been trying to take over the entire country
and expel the Palestinians and take over the whole thing,
kit and caboodle.
And that's what they've been doing for a long time.
It's absolutely wrong.
There's no question there.
And they're willing to commit war crimes to do it.
That's what I think.
And that's been going on for a long time.
So you don't want to make it,
you don't, you're not committing to the term genocide.
I don't actually, do I think,
here's, you tell me if this is what it means,
because it's sort of like socialism,
I'll excuse my saying so.
Do I think they're trying to kill all the Palestinians?
No.
I think they're trying to expel the Palestinians from the country that they're trying to have
one state.
That would be a genocidal intent.
I don't know what that is, but that's what they're trying to do, and they're clearly
trying to take over the West Bank.
They're clearly trying to take over Gaza.
They're willing to go to extreme merciless lengths in order to do that.
That's what they're, there is a history that's 10 years of doing that.
It was longer than 10 years.
It started off with ethnic cleansing in 1948.
But there's, that's what's going on.
I don't know what, I honestly don't know what genocide means, but what I do know is they
are trying to end up controlling the whole state, period.
Yes.
So, okay.
I mean, that is what, at least according to, to, uh, holocaust scholars, genocide
scholars.
trying to kill all the Palestinians now, I think they're trying to expel them from the
country.
Yes, it's still ethnic cleansing and indicative of genocidal intent, which is why that's the
whole IC, the International Court of Justice case that's about that.
But that is what it is.
Yeah, you can do it in part as well, similar to what took place in Bosnia and Kosovo.
I look at that and I say the exact same thing. How did they actually end all the fighting in Yugoslavia the former Yugoslavia?
They bombed the crap out of Yugoslavia, but they also gave everybody their own territory in their right of self determination.
And that's what's got to happen here.
You might have been better if Yugoslavia stayed intact, but that's you know, that's neither here nor there.
But it didn't happen and it did solve the problem. They're no longer killing each other.
Yeah. Um, but again, there was a lot of, there was a lot of bombings place, but anyway,
Tom, thank you. Thank you so much for coming on. Thank you very much.
It's nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. And, uh, where can people find your, uh,
your campaign?
Tom Steyer. What is it? You guys? Tom Steyer. Tom Steyer. Tom Steyer. Tom Steyer. Yes.
Yes, all right.
Do you want to say one more thing?
Yeah.
I think I am the practical progressive in this race who can actually make the changes that
you want.
And am I going to use all the language that you want?
Maybe not.
But am I going to try and make the changes that you actually want?
I think so.
I really do.
And I think that working people have been screwed and they need someone who will
fight with them and they need someone who is not going to owe anybody else anything
and who is going to stand up and do the right thing.
That is me.
All right, thank you for coming on.
Thank you.
All right.
Okay.
Bye guys, nice to meet you.
What's up?
What do you?
What's up?
I think you're saying bye.
Oh, okay, nice to meet you guys.
Okay, in order to, let me hit this real quick.
I
Look, I didn't have a lot of I didn't you know I
Think I came into a pretty open-minded as open-minded as one can be right and that went all right
Can you look into the camera when you adjust it respectfully asking King?
I'm going to now obviously dive back into the ongoing issues that are happening in the world.
As it pertains to the unlimited bloodshed quagmire that we have found ourselves in at the direction of the nation-state of Israel in Iran.
What is this? This is a great photo. Okay, stop.
There's a fire at the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, which apparently this link is not showing
us for some reason.
Please do not look at me.
I do not wish to be perceived.
There were more questions that I wanted to ask as well, but I'll be honest, I think
as far as like the viability, as far as like the viable candidates at the top.
You know, he's, Tom Steyer has a better position overall. It's just that I wish he had a better
answer for Israel. It's just so, it's such a solid litmus test. It's such a solid and reliable
litmus test in general. It's just I don't know why it stumps people. Thank you.
Reagan recently caller. Two questions for you. The president said yesterday in his
video message that we will be Iran when we complete all of our objectives. What
are our objectives? And can you share more information on how the soldiers
who were killed were killed. Well I laid out the objectives as did the chairman they're completely
nested I mean Iran has an ability to project power against us and our allies in a ways that we can't
we can't tolerate so whether that's ballistic missiles and drones so offensive capabilities
effectively their their navy which would attempt to set other terms and impose different costs
drone capabilities which we which we laid out there and ultimately though this tying it back
to midnight hammer the president has been willing to make a deal you can't have a nuclear bomb
radical islamists can't have a nuclear bomb that they wheeled against the world he gave
him every single opportunity.
Korean media reporting to the US planning on moving the THAAD system meant to protect
US allies in the far east from China to the middle east oh my god they're running
out of THAAD they're running out of THAAD and also as predicted their next move
is to try to start a Kurdish uprising as I fucking called it oh my god they're
They're moving the fads away from fucking Korea, bro.
They're so good.
By meeting all in place.
It's over, dude.
They thought they were undetectable.
They weren't undetectable.
We were shocked by it.
They don't even know who's leading them now.
We went down 49, he said, meaning 49 leaders
on the leadership chart there.
We don't know who's leading the country now.
They don't know who's leading.
It's a little like the unemployment line.
The president said that they tried
to make a deal with the Iranians,
but we couldn't make a deal with these people.
He said every offer was met with a walk back
of a previous offer.
They had all that enriched stuff, he said, referring to uranium.
They looked at redoing it there.
This is after the strikes last June.
But it was in such bad shape, the mountain had basically
collapsed.
The president said, this is the way to deal with Iran.
We don't have to worry about agreements.
He talked about all of the years, decades of killing
and IEDs and all the destruction
that Iran has wreaked on the United States
and other countries.
He said, people in the military walking around with no legs, walking around with no arms,
their faces shattered.
He said that today's military operation was of a piece, part of a larger campaign.
We took out Salomei last time that's referring to the Iranian general, Qasam Soleimani.
He was an unbelievably violent, vicious general hitting him.
He said, it was a big move.
If that didn't happen, then you might not have Israel today.
Israel might not exist.
Then he referred to midnight hammer, the strike against the Iranian nuclear facilities
last June. They were a month away from having a nuclear weapon. He criticized
Obama's nuclear deal with Iran. He said it gave all the power to Iran. They would
have had a nuclear weapon three or four years ago. They would have used it against
Israel. They maybe would have used it against us. In the latest talks he said
the Iranians quote weren't willing to give us what we asked for. They should
have done it. So it's going good, the president said before getting off the
phone.
It's going great
It's going so great that
The the American stockpiles are so withered away that they are literally moving fads
potentially from Korea
to Israel
Okay, which means that they are fucking running out of that. They're running out of missile defenses. Oh
My god, this is so fucking bad
CNN says running out of THAAD and SM3 interceptors.
The U.S. expects a major up-to-get attacks on Iran within 24 hours.
After an initial round of weakened Iranian defenses, the next phase will target Iran's
missile production, drones, and naval forces.
U.S. is also running low on some missile stocks including Tomahawks and SM3 interceptors
Yeah, U.S. must destroy Iran in launch before Israel and U.S. run out of interceptors is right. That is crazy
Breaking fire at the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh after blast two sources say holy shit guys
Guys, it's it's going really good. I think
North Korea has the opportunity to do the funniest thing. Well, last week the South
Korean president wanted to restart talks with North Korea. Ironically enough,
What is this? Oh, what the fuck? That's that's a Masada, probably.
Tucker Carlson, last night, both in Qatar and Saudi Arabia authorities arrested Masada
ages planning on committing bombings. I can see that. I can see that. That was the point.
That was the point. They wanted to diminish the Gulf and in two days they have. And I think
anyone who likes decency and order and cleanliness is hoping that the Gulf will recover. The
Gulf is not a threat to us. We have military bases in these countries. These are some
of our closest allies, all of them are closer allies than Israel by far, they're our friends,
but they've been really hurt in a place like Dubai, which is basically part of a country.
It's an Emirate within the United Arab Emirates, but it's also a luxury brand.
Bro, the entire Middle East is on fire.
I cannot believe it.
It is unbelievable that the peace president would bring about the end of the Abraham
accords, uh, literal fucking troop deaths, uh, and numbers slated to grow at the behest
of Israel, the most peaceful country on the planet. Uh, unbelievable, uh, shocking, shocking.
I tell you, who could have ever foreseen this happening? Um, incredible stuff. Bro, Israel's
killing America is not Iran. Also, American soldiers reportedly killed in Kuwait during
interview wait what cluster munitions getting through the defenses iranian ballistic missile
attack on israel ongoing mrbm's equipped with cluster warheads have reportedly been used
us soldiers killed in kuwait what local reports confirm america soldiers were killed in the
iranian tagging kuwait the rescue team helicopters apparently did not reach them in time
Okay, is there any, no warning, no sirens. Oh no, this is the initial one. Six US service members
killed an Iranian strike to hit makeshift operation centers in Kuwait. This is from
the first round. The death toll from that event at the Shahaba port has risen to six US Central
command announced on Monday afternoon. Yeah, no, this is when they, when they blew up that
container. There's a new, apparently there is a new statement from the IRGC.
Whoa, the one I'm looking at right now, actually during a drone attack with the RGC Navy on one of
the gatherings, gathering place of American terrorists in Dubai, UAE and more than 160
terrorists riflemen were present. According to field reports, American casualties in this
combined drone missile strike by the combat units of the RGC Navy are estimated to be
be more than 40 kills and 70 wounded? Okay, that's a bit of an overestimation, I think.
Israel getting lit up? Isn't this old? I can't tell anymore, because every fucking night
We see the same image over and over again.
Wait, drops I heard reports of the numbers are way higher.
What, from the Iranian side?
The Iranian side's always going to overestimate the casualty numbers on the American side.
That would be insane.
Yeah, of course, Israel is saying that cluster munitions are being used.
It's illegal.
It's crazy.
Tampa, as of 4 p.m. Eastern March 2 6 u.s. Services members have been killed major combat operations
Continue the identities of the fallen are being withheld until 24 hours after next of kin notification. No, this is older
This is the first one
There did this claim from the IRGC is recent
From literally an hour ago
Okay this
Also during your this happened during my interview
Breaking visual confirmation of an interceptor failing and impacting it impacting in Jordan near Mufo
Mufoq salty air base the power in the area could be seen going out immediately after the strike. Well, what the fuck
Oh, shit.
Looks like another possible cluster has struck Israel.
They are peppering that Jesus Christ
The United States preparing for a major up-to-get attacks on Iran over the next 24 hours heavily focused on destroying the country's missile production
Yeah, this is what they said that they were gonna do
What the fuck were you guys doing the first two days then is my question. Oh, sorry. That's right
They were too busy murdering school children. That's what they were doing in the first couple of days
assassinating
Trying to do a decapitation strike on virtually every IRGC general and the fucking head of state
That's what they were too busy doing and then for the last 48 hours
That was the first 24 hours. They killed a hundred plus little girls between the ages of seven and twelve
And then in the last 48 hours, they've just been literally pummeling Tehran for no reason.
I'm a Kuwaiti and they don't put on sirens until after the fucking bomb.
I hear the bomb before the sirens. Absolutely crazy.
Impact reported near Tel Aviv.
I didn't even what the fuck where that come from. Oh right there
New barrage on Tel Aviv from Fox taking place over Israel's second largest city of Tel Aviv
And okay, okay, you're gonna tell and you'll be able to tell if this one is taken out by the
the. Defense system. Yeah,
right now we can hear a number
of explosions in the distance.
Some interceptions on the
outskirts of the city, but you
just saw live there the stream
through the sky as clearly the
Iranians have launched a very
large barrage and some of
these missiles appear to have
made it past Israel's missile
defense system. The iron dome.
Remember the Israelis have a
cured missile defense system.
They have at the lowest level
iron dome than they have david sling in the arrow two and three systems now the
trump administration was aware that the iranians would launch a counter attack
they provided the israelis with additional air defense including the
patriot and bad systems but still this is not a perfect layered defense it bro
if it actually comes out that it was israel that bombed aramco okay and it
comes out that israel is the one who's doing like masada is doing the
fucking embassy strikes, which I don't even think that it'll come out. I just
don't like, but it's the most insane thing that any state could do in this
moment. Israeli media is freaking out. Israeli channels described the cassette
warhead of the Iranian missiles as insane. They don't have any air defense
at all. It looks like debris from a shrug missile. That's not debris from a shrug missile.
I don't think.
Can you explain why the embassy's a bigger deal because the American embassy in Riyadh is literally US soil?
It is the breed clusters wouldn't glow
US President Donald Trump held a phone call with Kurdish leaders in Iraq on the potential events following ongoing US's really operations against Iran I

impenetrable capacity was already dangerously low after last june
I don't know if you saw both of the Clintons depositions have been released or as of three
hours ago. Yeah, I can't focus on that right now. There's also riots taking place in Bahrain.
Bahrain, the majority Shia population is very frustrated, not with the strikes necessarily,
using this as an opportunity to basically, uh, fight back against the, uh, the, the state itself.
Will the GCC join the war, brother? What can the fucking golf states do to join the war?
They don't have with what army I mean literally with what army
What are they gonna do is that is the UAE gonna send the fucking RSF?
What there is that?
Are they gonna use the rapid support forces or they're gonna just like ship them out of Sudan and go do ethnic cleansing in fucking Iran or something?
Can't they hire PMC's they can but you know there's there's fucking limits there
Yeah, the Dubai is going to send in Aiden Ross, Andrew Tate and numerous kick streamers to fucking annoy
the Iranians. They're going to do a war of attrition.
They're going to do a war of attrition by simple nuisance like nuisance streamers.
They're going to send an army of Eastern European models with the worst Botox job you've
you've ever seen to cause the Iranians to surrender except I feel like the Iranians are probably
like the, the, the models. Let's be real. Shadows are asking for mom and pop flower shops
to fight along the mafia who they've been paying. Yeah. They're, they're, they don't
have anything. I mean, they have the equipment, but that's it. At most they have equipment
they can use on their own population when the population rises up, okay?
You think that Kurds will answer Trump's call?
Fuck yes.
That's not even a question.
It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.
And now we know, okay?
Now it's confirmed pretty much.
It's all but confirmed.
Why do you think the American-Israeli strike teams have been peppering border patrol
on the Iran-Iraq border for the last 76 hours.
What do you think is the reason for that?
The reason for that is so that they can send in the Kurdish militias because they don't
have any popular ground forces to destabilize the country.
And then they can like propagandize as like, this is a real revolution taking place, look.
President Trump spoke by phone with Kurdish leaders in Iraq on Sunday to discuss the US-Israel war with Iran
And what might come next three sources of my knowledge of the call told mark a capitol
I told you I told you they were gonna do this from day one. I told you they were gonna do this and they're doing it
Do the Kurds not feel some type of way after they were abandoned in Syria? Fuck no. Brother, that's the expectation.
The entire golf is on fire and Trump is posting about attending the correspondent's dinner.
I'm not sure how the people here would take that, what?
I mean, Kurds know what America will give them at the end of this, which is nothing, okay?
They'll use the Kurdish militias as a form of destabilization in Iran, okay?
They'll go in and they'll gladly go fucking kill people, fight the IRGC, whatever.
And then, after that, they'll send in the fucking Turkish military.
If they completely create a failed state there, they'll literally send in the Turkish military.
Into Iran, if they succeed in destroying the Iranian state, they will then send in the
Turkish military to take up some kind of fucking territory in a defensive posture.
Yeah, Trump spoke to leaders of two Iranian Kurdish factions in Iraq, Masoud Barzani
and baffled telebani
day after he authorizes saturday bombing campaign to the source said a
source of knowledge of the call said they were sensitive and declined to give
details on their content
the calls were the culmination of months of behind the scenes lobbying by
israeli prime minister benjamin and yahoo
another source said israel is close security military intelligence ties with
the Kurds in syria
iraq and iran
for decades
it's the general view and certainly netney ous you the Kurds are going to
come out of the woodwork that they're gonna rise up one official said
i mean dude they're literally fucking
uh...
israel runs the show israel runs the show it's so fucking hard for me to say
anything but that all my god
it's a mere shimer crash course
why would be in june any other the face of a wildly unpopular war with your
soldiers being named and killed who doesn't appeal to be on foxes boomers
Who does this appeal to beyond fucks these boomers who are already the minority in support
of the war? Yeah. In a couple hours, in an hour and a half, you will see Benjamin Netanyahu
go and get sucked off by Donald Trump's favorite cum receptacle, Sean Hannity. Donald Trump
is a bratty bottom, but he likes to share. It's very obvious that he doesn't mind sharing,
okay? And he's sharing his favorite cum receptacle, Sean Hannity, in this polyamorous relationship
with benjamin and yahoo
you know i know will be a basically all but admitted that israel fucking forced
their hand into going into this uh... military quagmire
and just like i also called
trump is going to by way of any of the activity courage forces
that will storm
the the iranian borders
and go in and fucking
uh... cause terror
the new york times and the rest of the plant media
will write reports about how fucking wokley the cards are actually taking
over iran
just wait
i told you this already
bernie truck talk to drop site
he really quickly about secretary rubio's comments earlier today he spoke
with us
he said that
part of the reason why the U.S. decided.
Bro, how the fuck are the Kurds falling for this again?
Listen, I can't speak too much because I'm Turkish and everyone will accuse me of being
a hater of the Kurds, but at some point you got to realize that this, you know, they're
not falling for it.
Okay.
They're not.
They're not falling for it.
They see their only viable, they see the only viability for the creation of a Kurdistan
style state is by fucking making it by basically turning it into Israel, okay?
That's it.
They want to make a Kurdish-Israel.
I had to strike Iranists because they knew the Israeli military would do it and so they
wanted to come down with full force in order to stop American bases from facing them.
That's a pretty pathetic response.
Look look look look at this.
Look at this.
It's because the other options are to get masked or by Turkey or the other states.
It's unbelievable that there are motherfuckers in this chat who literally
looked at the situation at hand.
And, and in like, you know, this is an act of imperialism.
You know, it's an act of imperialism.
So what the fuck are you trying to defend it?
Especially when we're talking about what?
getting slaughtered, America literally fucking sends them in, causes the destabilization,
and then allows them to get slaughtered after the fact.
The fuck are you talking about?
And then of course the Kurds will say that argument makes no sense.
Kurdish lands have always been Kurdish.
We have been occupied by oppressors for centuries.
Okay, then build, build fucking, uh, go ahead, dude. Build Kurdish-Israel, okay? Good luck.
This will be the way to do it. Do not fucking, do not talk with the regional,
do not talk with any of the fucking regional powers, and, and only use yourself like a
fucking sleeve for American imperialism. It's crazy because like, Kurdish revolutionaries
for the longest fucking time before America slaughtered them were communist, like actually
fucking communists. No friends but the mountains. Yeah, okay, keep larping, big dog. Anti-imperialism
and communism was within the framework of the Kurdish revolutionary movement. And now they're
literally America's most loyal servants. And you're over here talking about like, oh,
Well, you know, we're from there 35 million diaspora with no
With with no home. So I guess that's okay, then okay, you can just like fucking destabilize and and
Play a formative role in America's plans every single time even if they fuck you over like they did in Syria
One day it'll be different though. I promise this time is different. Courts are like Courts be like this time is different guys. You don't understand this time is different hate this guy. Okay.
okay it's difficult to shoot down some of these hypersonic missiles you can hear
those explosions behind me remember the northern city of Haifa was also taking
fire at the same time and so when the Iranians saved their missiles and
launch all at the same time it's an effort to overwhelm the the air defense
systems in this country
If you collaborate with the oppressors, you will never find peace Kurdish populations are
fucking stupid and brainwashed.
I'm Kurdish by the way, so no ban.
I don't understand how you can literally look at the situation and be like, this time it's
going to be different.
But I guess the Iranian diaspora has a similar attitude as well.
And I think it partially stems from, oh, well, we're not, we're different.
We're not Arabs.
Everyone does this in the region.
Turks do this too.
Everyone does this thing where it's like the Persians think they're not Arabs and they're
smarter so it won't happen to them.
The Kurds say the same, the Turks say the same.
Everyone at the end of the day is a servant of American Empire.
Basically, people go to Dubai because it's beautiful and rich and clean and above all
because it's safe and orderly.
It's got the busiest airport in the world.
You start seeing video and Instagram of smoke in the Dubai airport.
You're like, I think I'm going to Cabo this year.
Oh, sorry, drug cartels.
Whatever.
Maybe you go to Sedona this year.
It really, really hurts these countries.
And Israel wanted to hurt these countries.
That's the point.
Wanted to hurt these countries.
Wanted to sow chaos and disorder
because they are rivals of Israel.
So it's probably not, hasn't been reported,
but it's a fact that last night, in Qatar and Saudi
Arabia, authorities arrested Mossad agents
planning on committing bombings in those countries. Now, that's weird. It doesn't make any sense.
Why would the Israelis be committing bombings in two Gulf countries, which are also being
attacked by Iran? Aren't they on the same side? No! No! Israel wants to hurt Iran and
Qatar and UAE and Saudi and Bahrain and Oman and Kuwait and they've succeeded.
I don't know about the accuracy of the the Mossad bombing attempts or whatever. I don't know about
that but now the fucking US Embassy in Riyadh exploded. We don't know if it was like a Iranian
drones that did it or someone else but there is just no positive outcome out of all of
this it's just not it's just negative all negative no upside all downsides baby this
morning as America and Israel's massive attack on Iran intensifies three American F-15 East
Stryker fighter jets were downed in a friendly fire incident in Kuwait, one jet seen with
smoke and fire coming from the back as it falls from the sky in a spin, a parachute
visible in the distance, floating to safety.
All of the six crew members survived, the Pentagon confirming the jets shot down by
Kuwaiti air defense systems, saying it's investigating.
And now we're learning more about the first American casualties.
At least four American service members killed in an Iranian attack in Kuwait, another five
severely injured.
President Trump responding to the news in a new video posted to social media.
We grieve for the true American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our
nation, even as we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives.
Adding this ominous warning.
deadly, there will likely be more. Before it ends, that's the way it is. Likely be more.
Amid the escalation conflict, Trump also said the joint operation could last up to four weeks.
And this morning, Secretary of Defense Pete Hage-Seth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff Dan Cain sharing new details on the operation dubbed Epic Fury.
We fight to win. We fight to achieve the objectives that...
But, has your opinion changed up whether Israel controls America or not, feels like it's different
during the genocide?
No, America still holds all the fucking cards.
In this specific instance though, in post-Trump, Israel controls America's Middle Eastern policy.
Israel took over America's Middle Eastern policy.
But this is the most diverging.
This is the most divergence Israel has ever had since the JCPOA with American foreign policy.
Like this is a clear cut divergence in what Israel's interests are here and what America's
interests could have been as it pertains to dealing with Iran.
United States has laid out, and we will do so unapologetically.
Kang described in the first hours of the assault.
More than 100 aircraft launched from land, sea, fighters, tankers, airborne early warning,
electronic attack, bombers from the states and unmanned platforms, forming a single,
synchronized wave.
The Pentagon, saying more U.S. forces will be headed to the region.
This rapid buildup of forces demonstrated the joint forces ability to adapt and project
power at the time and place of our nation's choosing.
This is the moment in the first wave of the attack that officials say the 86-year-old
Ayatollah was killed along with several of the top leadership.
The US deploying an array of high-scale military assets, including B-2 stealth bombers armed
with 2,000-pound bombs.
The president, saying multiple Iranian Navy ships were also destroyed, sinking into the
water, claiming Iran's top military leaders want to surrender.
The entire military command is gone as well, and many of them want to surrender into saving
their lives.
They want immunity.
Iran saying at least 555 people in the country have been killed, and the death toll rising
more than 150, according to state media, in an air strike on a girls school in the southern
city of Minab. Verified videos also showing damage to a hospital in Tehran shattered glass
strewn across the floor. Tehran's promise retaliation immediate and furious. Launching
a fierce assault on US bases around the region including Bahrain and Israel. Meanwhile inside
Iran, some celebrating Giyatollah's death, while thousands take to the street, some chanting
death to America. Questions there mounting about what's next for Iran's people and the
regime. George asking Iran's foreign minister on this week.
Who's in charge of Iran right now?
There is a procedure set in our constitution that when we lose the Supreme Leader, there
there would be a new one elected by the Assembly of Experts.
And now we have started the procedure.
Well, a couple of developments.
Firstly, Israel opening up a second front in Lebanon
after strikes by Hezbollah many feared that.
Secondly, inside around,
you now have this leadership council
effectively running things.
Although the structures of power being disrupted,
they are still intact.
And despite President Trump saying the Iranians
want to negotiate, Ali Lara Jani,
the head of the Supreme National Security Council today,
saying very explicitly, we will not negotiate with the United States.
All the strikes have expanded, OK?
And thanks very much.
Keep that laughing, United States should have a nuclear bomb, you know?
Every other country has.
Every other...
A lot of countries have it.
Iran signed the MPT.
There are four countries that never signed it, including Israel.
How many nuclear bombs has Israel got?
Why is nobody questioning this?
Well, hold on.
I tell you, who might want to question your conversation?
Don't go, some.
Michael in sitting born, what would you say to some of his suggestions?
Morning Michael.
I think, good morning, I think you need to check the annotation reality pills.
Tell him why? What do you mean by that?
He really is quite happy about a bunch of terrorists having to use clear weapons.
Oh come on.
So, you don't count Israeli terrorist state?
No, it's not Israeli state.
It's not.
Oh wow, you know, you're something else.
I need a reality check.
Is that what you really think? I need a reality check. Have you seen what he's done to Palestine?
Is there still bombing Palestine after all the hostages coming back?
Some, some, the only democracy in the area is Israel.
I'm not seeking to justify all its actions. I am not seeking, but if you had the kind of...
Also, they democratically committed a genocide. You fucking doorknob.
Okay. Thank you for the unbiased moderation, sir.
What is this notion like? Oh, well, there's a democratic process.
they get to have nukes. That makes it worse. That means that there's popular consent for
ethnic cleansing.
Democracy in Iran that you have in Iran that you have in Israel, you wouldn't see thousands
of people being killed or in jails.
You look what brother? There's this very strange talking point in the West where
they go, well Iran killed its own citizens. It's like, okay, America kills more citizens
on foreign soil. Israel kills literally citizens that it won't even give citizenship to. It's
objectively worse. What Israel has done to the Palestinians is objectively worse
than what Iran and the IRGC has done to the Iranians. Okay. I don't, they play fast and
lose with like, well, they're really brutal to their own citizens. Okay. Should they do
what you're doing and just murder other citizens? Like, what are we talking about here?
What you saw Iran Iran had democracy next
Lebanon a new front in a spiraling war
A delicate, imperfect truce extinguished.
This is Rao's response to Hezbollah entering the fray, revenge for the uranium-backed group
launching a barrage of rockets.
In southern Lebanon, there's already an exodus, highway's gridlocked as thousands evacuate,
in Beirut, notes of defiance too.
We left our homes not out of fear or terror of the United States, but to fulfill our religious
and legal duty to protect ourselves.
They do not intimidate or frighten us.
They will not make us retreat even an inch from the path of resistance.
In northern Israel, you can feel a conflict that's creeping closer.
We are right on the border with Lebanon here.
It's just over that mountain range.
We can hear drones overhead.
The Israeli army was firing just a few minutes ago,
and there have been some loud thugs.
Now, for months, there's been speculation
that Israel may expand its attacks on Hezbollah,
amidst claims that the group was trying
to rebuild its capabilities.
And from here, right now, it does feel that that time may...
Israel has never stopped bombing Lebanon, like literally never.
This shit's not new.
All the tick was for Hezbollah to lob one missile for Israel to go, oh you see!
Israel has killed hundreds of people here in Lebanon.
What is this?
The fame confusion in this clip was amazing.
We just heard it from Speaker Johnson and I think Marco Rubio said something similar.
That the actual preemptive strike was because Israel was about to attack Iran to destroy
its weapons, its missiles and because, and we had learned, the US had learned that
If Israel did that, Iran was then going to attack US bases in the region.
Is that right?
Do I have that right?
Is that what they're saying?
That's what they said this time.
Does that count as-
That's not the definition of preemptive.
If you are taking an action that creates someone doing something, then you're preempting
a theoretical-
Right.
Like and and it also I feel like it's very interesting that this is all based on the idea that number one
We can't control Israel and number two our entire war with Iran is because of what Israel is doing
In other words Israel is the tail wagging the dog. I
Wonder why
the funniest oh my god oh my god the funniest thing that would that could
happen here is if they say that's anti-semitic Marco Rubio is being anti-semitic
they're gonna hit the noam Chomsky Israel is an unsinkable aircraft carrier
line, dude. They're gonna be like, listen, this is quite anti-Semitic, sweetie. Israel obviously
is a loyal servant of empire and totally not controlling the Trump administration right now.
It is the fucking tail wagging the dog, man. What are we doing?
It's just an odd.
So I don't get that.
It's not also what we had been told by lots of other people, including President Trump starting
Saturday, but then also today and on and on, do you make sense of this?
Sir, Jake, it is confusing.
I've been confused several times along the way.
The more I listen to them, the more confused I get.
But let's start from two principles.
This was a war of choice, not a war of necessity.
A war of choices is one that you do when you are not about to be attacked preemptively.
They're trying to generate that thought.
You could have made that argument perhaps in June.
Scuba, you just don't want to request for some Gulf States?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're already covered that.
When the president took out those three nuclear sites, because at that point the
Iranians were far closer to a nuclear weapon.
How closer?
Well, they had access to all of the fuel that they had enriched in near bomb grade quantities.
And so it would have taken them a few weeks at the most, turned it into bomb grade, and
maybe a few months to a year to turn that into a usable weapon, okay?
But now all that fuel is buried.
See, the nuclear thing was kind of off the table, which is why the president had
to then say, well, they're working on intercontinental missiles that could reach
the United States, except his own Defense Intelligence Agency said they wouldn't have
that until ten years from now.
And so that's number one.
And number two is, let's just listen to what the President said the morning that this
all began.
He urged the Iranian people to wait for the bombing to be over and then rise up and
overthrow their government.
That sounds like regime change.
But all of a sudden they don't want to talk about regime change.
three days ago as an anti-Semitic conspiracy to say Israel was dragging the US in the war with Iran today the Secretary of State said Israel was going to strike no matter what and the US had to join the war
Yeah, remember when people were people were urging caution and getting mad at me for fucking saying this by the way
Like people were getting mad when I was like Israel is literally directly responsible for this I
Think North Korea is about to pop the fuck off soon. Um, maybe
It's so cool. It's so cool that like is we're gonna do whatever it wants by the way and it fucking doesn't matter
Millennial John Stuart added again
Fourth largest economy at this point. Yeah, 4.3 trillion dollars a year
Yeah
Small fucker went on the Adam Friedland show. This is how you know Adam Friedland is compromised
You went on the Adam Friedland show before he went on mine
Iran is being pounded
This is how you know Adam Friedland is compromised
The military might of the United States focused upon degrading the country that it portrays
as the nexus of evil in the Middle East. On the ground there is widespread destruction.
The Iranian authorities say hundreds have been killed.
But America's leaders are wholly unapologetic. They are bullish and they show no appetite for
to stopping.
We continue this mission with ferocious, unyielding resolve to crush the threat this terrorist
regime poses to the American people and a threat indeed it is.
Right from the beginning we projected four to five weeks but we have capability to go
far longer than that.
We'll do it.
Iran insists that it is the innocent party here, that the war against it is unjust
and illegal.
ongoing unlawful military aggression against Iran exemplify the dominance of Robb
Yeah, no, it's not Iran admits or Iran claims
It's just the truth. What are we talking about dude?
Like
This is how propaganda works
Where you just like blow up Iran
assassinate the fucking leader of a sovereign state and then when they turn
around and go hey that's illegal why did you do that the media goes Iran makes an
argument that it believes that it's not good that it believes is not worthy of
being struck power over the principles of human rights Iran has responded with
With attacks of its own, this is a strike on the Israeli town of Behesheva.
Israel's air defense have cope with almost everything, but not all missiles can be stopped.
The country is still shaken by the attack that killed nine when a missile hit a bunker
in Behege, Shemesh.
Today, the prime minister visited the site.
When I stand here in a place that was bombarded by the terrorists in Tehran against innocent
civilians, you see the difference.
The tyrants of Tehran target civilians, you target the tyrants of Tehran to protect them.
Well that's my trail up there is what's left of the Israeli.
That's so funny. I'm sorry that's fucking hilarious.
Benjamin Netanyahu the war criminal.
Oh do you see? The tyrants of Tehran they target civilians, not me though.
I would never, except for all the civilians I targeted in Tehran, not that long ago,
and also the genocide I conducted in Gaza.
Air defense system intercepting an Iranian missile, part of a wave that is coming into Israel
as we speak, but it isn't just this country that is being attacked. Iran's tactic is to try
try to embroil this whole region into a conflict.
And the Middle East is in a febrile state.
Israel has launched a huge assault on Lebanon targeting Hezbollah,
a group funded by Iran which attacked northern Israel this morning.
In Cyprus, the UK's Akratiri airbase was hit by a drone attack.
In Kuwait, three American fighter jets were shot down accidentally by Kuwaiti air defenses.
The crew all ejected safely.
The conflict has touched Saudi Arabia for the first time, debris sparking a fire next
to a giant oil refinery.
The price of oil is already going up, and now Qatar has said it will halt production
of natural gas.
The country has also said it's shot down two Iranian fighter jets, Russian-made Su-24s.
Iran has launched attacks in Bahrain, in Dubai and in Abu Dhabi.
There are interceptions of missiles in the sky over Jordan.
This is a conflict that is widening and which may escalate.
Donald Trump says it will last at least four weeks, but the effects of this war may ripple
for generations to come.
Adam Parsons, Sky News, Jerusalem.
Oil prices are skyrocketing above $70 a barrel, and that feeds directly into what consumers
pay at the gas pump.
Just how high oil and gasoline prices go will depend in large part on what happens
next in the war with Iran.
If significant oil supplies from this critical region are derailed, or even if the market
just fears major disruptions are imminent, prices could go much higher.
Key red lines to watch include whether Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz, the most critical
choke point for oil on the planet.
While the Strait has not been officially blocked, maritime traffic has effectively
stopped.
Another perhaps even bigger danger is that Iran successfully attacks oil facilities in
Saudi Arabia knocking them offline for a significant period of time.
Either of those events could bring back a return of $100 oil, something that we haven't seen
since 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine. And the higher oil prices go, the more expensive it will be
for Americans and drivers around the world to fill up their tanks.
Natural gas futures are rising too on supply fears. And remember, natural gas is the leading
fuel source in the U.S. for electricity and home heating, and consumers are already facing
sticker shop diesel. I mean, the price of the oil goes up. China has to lean into Russia.
This beneficial for Russia. Low Kirk. Fear mongering about high gas prices over the war.
No, that's good. Chatter. Americans are selfish, dude, amerifats are unimaginably selfish. Are
you kidding me? That's a good thing. No, more of this, please. The only thing that will,
the only thing that will cause the American masses to wake up is if their jalapeno poppers
are too expensive, or if their F 750 is gonna be like $1,000 to fucking fill up.
It's not a bad thing at all.
This will cause there to be tremendous panic.
This will cause people to fucking despise Donald Trump.
It's awesome.
Yeah, get the Amerifat treat the rights to Scream in the in the rural areas.
There's our skyrocketing as well.
That's bad news for truckers, farmers, railroads and ultimately consumers.
Airline stocks are tumbling as the industry braces for higher fuel costs too.
The bottom line is the higher energy prices go, the greater the pain to...
Yes, bro. Yes. Here's here's the propaganda. Okay.
Iran says doesn't kill them strike on school. No responsibility cast out.
Stated as fact. Nine killed in Israeli city near Jerusalem after Iranian missile strike.
Oh my God. That has 500,000 likes. Nice.
The moral decays taking physical form. I know you look so hot.
consumers, and the bigger the risk to the economy.
Why then is Iran striking back against the United Arab Emirates, against Bahrain, against
Qatar, against Kuwait, against Jordan?
Why stage these attacks?
When they debate, Lord, the Iranian guys is always so funny.
like, what do you think the answer is? But what do you think he's gonna say? Because we hate them?
Like, what do you think the answer is? It's because they're fucking they're American bases, dude.
First of all, we have good relations with our neighbors. Our policy towards our neighbors is
is quite clear. We want best of relations with our neighbors. At the same time, before the
aggression, we informed our neighbors that if the America or Israel engages in animosity
against Iran, definitely we will be in self-defense mode, and we will target the American
assets, the American military bases in the region, wherever they are located, because
they are legitimate targets in accordance with article 51 of the UN Charter.
Why is a hotel in Dubai?
Iran's parliament destroyed.
Wait, what?
The regime's parliament has been destroyed.
Are you guys fucking stupid?
The answer is yes.
This has nothing to do with the Ayatollah, man.
That's so dumb.
They're just they're doing that.
They did this with fucking Gaza, too.
I'm not a trustworthy source.
My mom has been loyal to this man and a part of the community for three years.
She watched him all day every day.
When he was speaking Turkish today, she said, talk turkey to me daddy and has been fully
banned for a week with no way to contract moderators.
Why not a warning not banned from chatting fully banned from viewing his live streams?
Wait, what?
My mom has been loyal to this man and a part of the community for three years.
She watched him every day.
When he was speaking Turkish today, she said, talk turkey to me daddy and has
been fully banned for a week with no way to contact moderators. Not a warning, not banned
from chatting fully banned from viewing his live streams? My mom just got banned from
massage streams after three years of being one of his biggest fans. What?
What?
What?
How do we fix that?
It's copy positive from Reddit.
What's the user name?
Also, we don't have the capability of banning someone from viewing the stream as far as I understand. No
You harbor such hatred and animosity for your fans take an hour off dumbass
I think if you only if you activate that setting do I have that setting
We do I got banned from a new live stream and couldn't see it anymore, but it was for the best
Wait I have that setting now
Was she so people banned here still allowed the view to stream we didn't activate that setting yeah
That could have been someone's mommy just timed out for an hour.
White House statement on radical left Democrats, these crazy, sick, demented America, despite
bigger bit of stronger.
The radical left Democrats, a party that's completely lost its way, are complaining
bitterly about the very necessary and important attack by the United States and Israel on Iran.
What most people understand is that they are only complaining because I did it.
And if I didn't do it, they would be screaming, why didn't Trump attack Iran?
He should do it immediately.
There's nothing surprising about this. It's the same people that the other night at the
the state of the unit just wouldn't stand for anybody.
Yeah, no, definitely dude hitting this as a partisan.
I got suspended on main from Twitch itself and I can't view streams or chat.
Yeah.
You got, we don't have the capacity to suspend you on Twitch.
That means the platform suspended your main account, which you are now like
openly admitting you're renovating on, but good luck.
Anyway, this framing of China as the good guy here makes no sense at all, what are you
even talking about?
China using capitalism as a sleeve?
What?
This has nothing to do with it.
Talk turkey to me daddy.
Did you find the mother?
No, I want to find the mother.
just got a permit for calling daddy and shout out to three of the watching literally made
me cry I felt like I had community a long time I'm so sad now peace out y'all wait what
Is that it?
Or is that someone just memeing?
How do we find the mother and fix the situation?
Try motherfinder.net.
Why do you want to find the mother do you want to talk to her key to her big guy no I feel
bad I feel bad that she I don't I want to understand first of all what happened like
if we're just like randomly banning banning banning viewers that they can't watch the
stream. I don't like that. This is it.
You be okay. I'm on timing out this person. Kai is a beautiful golden
goddess. Maybe that is the person actually. Kai is a beautiful
golden goddess chess extra funny today speak turkey turkey to me daddy okay I
unbanned the the mom
holy fuck how did Lake find her that's Lake my dad watches you better not nukem
Lomao. Yeah, this is what I gotta say. Wait, they unfollowed. Wait, how do they, how were
they stopped from watching me though? I don't even understand. Bend the kid now. As a resident,
why am I on support your unbending of the mom? This isn't even a band. They got suspended
for like you think you think she like accidentally unfollowed and that's why she couldn't find
she couldn't find the stream and thought she got banned.
I can totally see that being the case.
I did not block this person.
I think it's just like a boomer-related issue.
She was too busy gooning.
All right, we've solved the problem.
This is such a funny copypasta.
I love moms.
Is it you?
There you go.
I talked to her at Turkey too.
I talked Turkey to her too.
I did it all.
A legitimate target.
Our policy remains the same.
As I said, we attack military bases and military assets.
If they remove from one base to another, that is not our problem.
Nobody was expecting a knockout blow, but as Tehran's skyline smoldered, America warned
this is just the beginning in its quest for regime change in Iran.
Already there are parts of the capital that look like a pummeled war zone.
kind of Trump to let the Chinese get a free round of target practice that are true so they can
prepare for future conflict. That's not even happening, okay? Ryan is like seemingly China
maxing, but that's not even happening. Like how much, how much of the munitions that they're using
are like directly Chinese. Maybe I don't know. Maybe there's a lot more Chinese involvement,
but like, no, they're just giving, as far as I understand, the cooperative,
their cooperation is just around surveillance. They were talking about
potentially offering these hypersonic missile systems that are carrier
killers but I don't think that's the case.
What is this?
It has officially begun.
Oh my God.
Bahia Tusi, BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM Iran.
Can't get a hold of any of my family members in Tehran.
Bomb Iran more.
Yes, they continued, they need to continue bombing Iran.
It's a war man up.
Bomb Iran more.
Dude.
Dude, we're friends like these man.
We're friends like these with a diasporoid population like this bro.
Who needs enemies, dog?
Brother, if, brother Iran,
I did not know it was like that, dude.
This is, this is psychotic.
Like he's literally going, yeah, kill my parents, please.
Like what?
Do you hate your parents?
Do you hate your relatives?
How can you behave like this?
Oh my God, dude.
When I hear shit like this, I'm like, maybe Iran is a little bit better off with some of
these guys leaving Iran, you know what I mean, holy fuck.
CNN with the propaganda, please bomb us.
I want to die.
I mean, I jokingly said, this is like a, you know, a positively Shia attitude, a positively
Shia approach to the subject to be like, you know, unnecessarily, unnecessarily suicidal
for no reason it's like nah it's this is this is somehow it's gonna be worth it if
I die if that leads to the destruction of this regime is terrorist I'm okay with
it as you as an Israeli bombs started raining down on Iran a woman who says
she's in the southeastern city of Karamon shared this rare audio recording
from inside the country use do you understand why we can't have peace in
democracy in the Middle East with a behemoth breathing down our necks and traitors everywhere.
I just don't understand how like I genuinely cannot comprehend it. I'm Turkish. I live in
America. I'm Turkish American. Like I am not like a particularly nationalistic nor patriotic
person for either of these two countries that I am from. I grew up in Turkey my
whole life. I talked about this already. I can't go back to Turkey and let me tell
you something, okay? I cannot comprehend how these people behave like this. I just don't
understand it. I do not understand it. It is so outside of my scope of reasoning. It is not even
in the same realm of existence that I'm in. Iranian diaspora is unhinged true, but materially,
every diaspora is the same disproportionate power to dismantle the systems which forces
their displacement in the first place, but instead of zeal to integrate into imperial
structures and become the exploiters and reap the benefits of traveling good. At best they make
enough to send remittances while working at like Raytheon or the financial equivalent of Raytheon.
They're not affected.
Your childhood you have almost had half your life in America. Yes, the first 18 years of
of my life I grew up in in Turkey and still 50 more than 50% of my life I've I've lived
in Turkey but I don't think that's gonna change magically when I turn 36 and I'm gonna be like
hell yeah brother go do regime change in Turkey you know what I mean.
Son giving an update on the mom update thank you guys so much for getting my mom on band
actually insane I never expected that however she says she feels like she got broken up
And she needs time apart from him sad so it may be a day or two before she re-follows him low mal what the fuck
Oh, that's crazy. That's cute. Okay
Apologies you goon. I did in Turkish. I literally did I talked turkey to her
I feel dirty on women's history month.
Okay, okay, enough. Come on, we're watching the world fall apart.
Thanks for being gone, and I feel like I should record a video to say that.
Thank you, Mr. Trump. First of all, thank you.
and the people of Israel, the responsibility of this war is on the Islamic Republic and
Ali Khamenei, per se.
This one voice is by no means representative of a country of more than 90 million people.
She's not even Diaspora, she's in Iran, bro.
Bro, Iranians are not going to make it.
I don't think.
That's crazy.
That's actually crazy.
I mean, this makes a lot more sense as to why so many people join Mossad in Iran.
You know what I mean?
God damn, dude, we're friends like these with citizens like these who needs enemies, man?
The graves dug for 153 Iranian female school children who were killed by this really
strike beyond awful. Good news! Following the U.S. ... following the U.S. and Israeli strikes
on military intelligence sites in Manevan, prisoners in the city central prison were
released since the beginning of January. The Islamic Republic has arrested more than
50,000 protesters. Prison across the country has been operating beyond capacity ever since.
The majority of those detained are political prisoners. People arrested for simply protesting.
Yeah, good news.
Dude, they're definitely hiding the casualty count.
Trump responds to the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh and the
killing of U.S. military personnel is coming soon.
Oh, shit.
Trump vows revenge for the embassy strike.
Trump says you'll find soon what the retaliation will be after an U.S. Embassy strike in U.S.
service members killed news nation.
What is this soundtrack to the end of the world?
I
RGC says it launched a new attack on the US bases at camp um, but if John and Kuwait using 10 drones claiming they hit their targets
Iran has not been lying about their numbers no no that chatter saying America is hiding
and lying about the casualty numbers of the armed servicemen who have been killed by Iran.
How much tariffs is he going to do to Iran?
I don't think he's going to do tariffs, but I also don't know what more they can do.
At least 17 U.S. Air Force tankers are on or out to the millies.
This is yesterday, isn't it?
I guess.
20, at least to be exact, three were over the Atlantic at the time of the screenshot.
Today, was Trump gonna do call on NATO?
I mean, this is NATO anyway.
NATO is America.
NATO is the United States of America.
America is NATO, and America is already attacking Iran, so I don't know what he means when
He says I'm gonna show him like what is he gonna do kill more civilians? I mean the answer is yes
Because like they've literally decapitated the fucking entire state apparatus
so they can't punish the state and
Obviously if they had the capabilities of taking out all of the missile systems, they would have done so by now
So what is he gonna nuke Iran?
Sources tell Reuters that two new explosions have been heard in Riyadh's diplomatic quarter in the last few minutes following an Iranian drone attack. Oh my God, they're pummeling the Iranian, the American Embassy in Riyadh. Holy fuck.
What the fuck? They're turning into the Bahrain. They're calling it Bahrain Betty. What the hell is going on?
The last time I saw Iran with this much smoke it was the it was the American it was the American military base in Bahrain
What is happening what the fuck's going on in the Riyadh embassy that they're just like
They just keep pummeling it
Do you think the encore comedy show is canceled come on man
U.S. soldiers are getting focused Islamic resistance of Iraq.
We have carried out a drone attack on the hotel where American soldiers are staying
in Abil.
Is this the actual video of the Riyadh one?
U.S. confirms that it is a shop by Iranian drone in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
I don't think this is it.
I would assume that the embassy will be empty at this point right?
Momas before an Iranian Shah head
Kamikaze hits a building and military personnel in Dubai. No, this is Dubai.
Hey, hey, hey.
Somtil bhai, or bhai an hain?
BOOM!
BOOM!
Allah hu Akbar, Allah hu Akbar, Allah hu Akbar.
Allah hu Akbar, Allah hu Akbar.
Can you talk briefly about the midterms, what the midterms are going to look like
with this war underway for the Republicans?
Will there be a midterms election, you think?
I think when Trump is done with this shit, when Trump is fucking done with this, if he
is done with it at all, he's gonna move on to Cuba.
He might actually do Cuba while he's doing this as well because he wants to get a quick
W or something.
I don't know if we're getting them in terms.
I mean, I have no idea.
Bro, I'll be honest with you.
This is like, I'm worried about Trump deploying a fucking nuke.
When I asked POTUS on who's in control of Iran right now, he told me you'll be finding
out very soon.
I just spoke to the president and he said you'll find out what the retaliation will
be for the attack on the US embassy in Riyadh and the US service members killed.
He also told me he doesn't think boots on the ground will be necessary.
That's ominous.
What's stopping a nuke, honestly?
I think the moment that America deploys a nuke in Iran, Russia deploys a nuke in Ukraine,
we're in a very different world.
I mean, it's just, it's never, the world will end.
The world will 100% end.
Thermonuclear warfare, nuclear holocaust, all of that.
Cause at that point it's like,
you kind of have to nuke us, you know what I mean?
Cause like, how do we,
how does the rest of the world react to that?
You know, like we're dead. We're done at that point. Because there is, once there was mutually
assured destruction with nukes, if one party is the first to deploy, the other parties
have to respond. Because if they don't respond, then what's the stop America from nuking them?
or what's the sub-america from nuking anyone else?
Assumes rational actors?
Japan didn't?
Yeah, guess what?
When Japan was nuked, there was no other nukes.
That was the first of its use.
That was the first time it was ever used.
And then there's a reason why it was never used
on a civilian population in combat ever again.
Have you thought about why?
Matt is supposed to be a deterrent.
I mean, I thought that they deployed a Moab in Tehran yesterday.
So that's why I don't understand what the fuck he's saying.
The source mirror VP's thinking for the Sharks on Iran tells CBS News the vice president was personally against the strikes.
If the strikes were to happen he argued that the operation should go big and go fast.
The spokesperson for the vice president declined a comment.
Yeah, I mean he's just ass covering.
Okay, dude.
And every public comment he's made on going to war with Iran, Trump looks and sounds like
he's getting a root canal and everyone else around him is trying to back away from every
direction it wants.
If you're a hawk, this must, this must be filled you with bravado and confidence.
Not even three days into this, and his VP saying, oh, I was against it.
But if it works, I told him to do it.
And his secretary stated trying to blame it on Israel.
Not great if you're a true believer in this shit.
Yeah.
think the actual scary reason is something far more consequential, obviously they see
it as like a massive fuck-up. Obviously they see it as a massive fuck-up, right? They recognize
it. At least the ones that are smart enough to recognize that it's a massive fuck-up
are trying to wash their hands over, are trying to wash their hands of the situation.
However, I'm more worried about what Donald Trump is going to do because he's fucking insane.
Why don't you stop this from happening?
Yo, BRB bro, let me go stop the president from nuking Iran.
Still trying to enrich?
Not just that they're trying to enrich Jesse and this is one of the almost comical elements
of the diplomacy that we've been engaged in for the past month, the past year I
I should say, you know, Steve Wittkopf, Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner, they did such a good
job, such a deliberate job, but the Iranians would come back to us Jesse and they'd say,
well, you know, having enrichment for civilian purposes, for energy, Zoran should tell
Trump he's a Shia. Actually, probably best to not have that conversation, then he
might hate him.
Zoran should be like, listen, Mr. President, we've developed a close enough bond with
one another. And I should tell you I'm a Shia Muslim. And I can explain to you the beautiful
culture of the ways of, you know, Shia Islam, and perhaps, perhaps you won't nuke Iran if
that's the case.
Any purposes is a matter of national pride. And so we would say, okay, that's interesting.
But why are you building your enrichment facilities 70 feet underground? And why
are you enriching to a level that's way beyond civilian enrichment and is only
you dude you've been the vice president for two years at this point I mean you're
real educated I know you got CIA reports you know what the reason is it's not
to fucking build a nuke it's to have a better leverage negotiation position
when you come to the negotiations table to demand a release of some of the
sanctions you know why they're doing it like I hate this dumbass song and dance
these people play all the time where it's like oh there were any moment now
they're gonna fucking develop nukes it's not even about like nuclear
sovereignty which they should have done in my opinion useful if your goal is
to build a nuclear bomb. Nobody objects to the Iranians being able to build medical isotopes.
The objection is these enrichment facilities that are only useful for building a nuclear
weapon. Even some international organizations that usually don't agree with the United
States were very clear that Iran's only purpose in building these underground to
highly enriched facilities was to build a nuclear weapon. It just doesn't pass
the smell test for you to say that you want enrichment for like medical isotopes while
at the same time trying to build a facility 70 80 feet.
Another way to relieve sanctions was to not immerge your radium pass that point. What
are you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about do you?
You fucking idiot. They already did that. It was called the JCPOA dumbass and then
Donald Trump ripped it apart and then they still followed along with the JCPOA because
it was a multilateral agreement, which included cooperation from China, Russia, and European
partners as well.
So they thought, oh, okay, this Trump guy is a mad man, but like, obviously it'll be fine.
And then, you know what Trump did?
Add additional sanctions.
So they were like, all right, back to fucking square one.
We keep enriching uranium, and then maybe we can get Donald Trump to the negotiations
table and get sanctions relieved that way, considering that he had added new sanctions.
If you don't know anything, why do you speak?
Yeah, of course, of course, you don't know anything immediately. I'm Iranian everyone. I know is happy about this intervention
We got it, bro. I know I know I know I understand you saw
150 little girls get fucking slaughtered by Israeli weapons and you thought to yourself. Oh, I love this
I will have Kubi day in Tehran one day
You saw your grandparents get fucking close to strike and you were like, oh, this is good
I am Persian. I know I
Know
30 to 5,000 brothers getting slaughtered. Okay, though. No, it's not it's not and I never said it was I never said it was
The difference between you and I is that I know unlike your dumbass that America killing 5,000 people with its fucking
strikes. Oh
Now it's 50,000. Okay
America, yeah, Iran killed 100 million Iranians, okay?
Iran killed 100 quintrillion Iranians.
It's crazy.
More people than exist in the fucking planet in a matter of a day, okay?
They did it in one day.
It turns out they have built a nuke, but it only evaporates.
Lamar actually defended this regime, you are evil.
I'm not, you fucking idiot.
I'm not defending the regime.
I'm defending Iranian population having its sovereignty.
I'm defending the avoidance of further casualties,
which is what the American and the Israeli government
is doing to you and your people and your parents right now.
It seems like I care more about your fucking parents and your grandparents,
wherever the fuck still lives in Iran than you do,
because you're a fucking moron. You're a suicidal moron.
Do you know how many times I heard this shit?
Do you know how many times we have heard this shit?
We heard this ship. We heard this from Iraqis. Oh, Saddam is brutal. He's ruthless. Yeah. Thank you for talking about this since day one. You're a real one. You're fucking idiot. Yeah, exactly.
Asmongold is a defender of the Iranian people. Oh my God. Oh my God. You don't understand. I'm Palestinian and Hamas is the true oppressor, not Israel. I'm Iranian.
And the only solution here is fucking thermonuclear war Trump is like mom is away from dropping a fucking tactical nuke in Tehran
And you're like, oh actually this is good
Why is it that I have to straight up deal with all of the fucking dumbest
Diasporids every single time I'm like, maybe we shouldn't be starving Cuba
Excuse me. Have you thought about the fact that I'm literally Cuban and I think we should starve the Cubans on the island
I don't give a fuck what you are. I don't care. What the fuck?
You will never convince me you will never convince me that
American bombs are going to be your liberation that has never happened
Okay, the last time that happened was post World War two it has never happened since and it will never happen again, okay?
Every dumb fuck thinks oh well, we're gonna be just like Japan. We're gonna be just like Germany not
realizing that you are going to be just like Libya, Syria. You're going to be just like Iraq.
You're going to be just like Afghanistan. You're not going to have a positive outcome from this.
Dude, he last commented here in 2020. Don't you think you influence those people not to vote in
the end? That's the whole point. Oh my God, the most annoying motherfucker of all time. I
swear to God, dude. I swear to God. This is a dying in droves. Not about me being Iranian.
You just said I was in an uninformed you are you are uninformed you are oblivious
You are oblivious not about what's going on in Iran
Well, you're kind of oblivious about what's going on in Iran in the last three fucking days for some weird reason
But you're also oblivious about what is to happen to Iran
Anyways can't wait for regime change step in the right direction for the whole world and you'll be wrong once again
Oh my god, Iranian guy who literally saying my grandparents might die
But at least in the process in this utter fantasy that I've concocted in my mind where Libya Syria
Iraq Afghanistan all of these things are in the fucking rear of a mirror
We're different. We're different. It's totally gonna be separate this time around
When Israel is salivating at the prospect of creating a fucking fail state in your country
Where your parents and your grandparents and like your loved ones live you are demanding more Israeli and American bombs
This is your delusional and then on top of that to add insult the fucking injury you turn around and you go and you'll be proven wrong I
Would love to be proven wrong you fucking moron. I would love to be proven wrong
It would be the greatest day of my life if
somehow
Magically in spite of all of the observable reality on American entanglements and American regime change that has come at the cost of
of tens of millions of people being displaced everywhere else in the world.
This time it's somehow magically different, but that's not how things work, does it?
God damn!
So Iran broke the Obama deal only after further sanctions? Yes.
Hello? Yes.
And they didn't even break the Obama deal initially Trump violated the deal ripped it apart Iran
still continued along with the provisions of the deal.
And then the only reason why they started enriching uranium again beyond civilian usage
levels was after Trump added secondary sanctions on top of the secondary sanctions that already
existed.
Oh
It's so crazy because I literally bro, bro, bro. I
Literally had the guy that wrote the fucking deal
Sitting next to me before we started bombing Iran. He was here
It's not like I'm speaking out of my fucking ass, I mean I'm
Recently well read on the subject matter, but I also literally had the guy who wrote it
He was here.
I don't know what it is, man.
I don't know what it is.
It's like motherfuckers will literally be like, nah, dude, I want Israel should kill more
schoolchildren.
Israel should kill more schoolchildren.
On air, but the president of the United States knows what we're able to do.
He knows that we have much greater capacity to inflict damage on the Iranian nuclear program,
but also on various missiles that threaten our troops.
As you've seen, they've been launching those at our troops for much of the past three days.
So Trump just got off a phone call with like Kurdish militias in Iraq to literally go into
Iran as they are striking border positions on the Iraqi-Iranian border.
And there are literally chattas in here being like, you know, understand they're
going to do regime change and it's going to be fucking awesome.
No, it's not.
going to balkanize iran in the best case scenario where all of the different ethnic groups are
going to constantly fight over territory for the rest of your life iran is going to turn
into iran is going to turn into a fucking backwards country way beyond what you think is backwards
right now under the leadership of the fucking ayatollah okay i promise you there is a
worse alternative out there and you're about to receive it but you'll be excited at the
prospect of it. I understand. I understand hating the fucking regime. I understand it.
Okay. I understand it. But America is far more evil than the
I just ever could be and you are about to find out. Here's the even worse alternative.
You're drunk. You're a carol. So Reza Palavi is the son of the, this is not going to happen.
and Rezapolivy is not going to be the fucking leader of Iran unless America literally puts
him in charge with boots on the ground military warfare.
The other thing that diasporoids don't fucking understand is this weird notion where they
think they're white, okay?
Iranian diaspora thinks they're fucking white for some reason and I don't know why they
They think this, but once there are tens of millions of Iranian refugees trying to fucking
escape Iran, some of which that come to the United States of America, some of which that
come to Europe, you will definitely find out that you are not white at all.
Okay?
Let me fucking tell you.
You're gonna be the talking point.
You can just keep going.
I'm not here.
I'm not here.
I'm Persian.
I'm not here as they fucking do a hate crime on you, okay?
I know, I know Jewish Persian Zionist anti-IRGC people, okay?
People who love Reza Pahlavi.
they have been stopped at airports they've been literally stopped at airports because
they're brown because they look Muslim that's it they don't give a fuck about cuba day when
they are treating you like you're a terrorist is so strange brother is so fucking strange
and what's here and Persian okay Iran who was
who was thrown out of Iran in uh early 1979 February 1979 came into exile
briefly in the United States that led to the Iran
hostage
I got hit with the fucking CIA heart attack gun on my internet
but the Frick I'm back I'm back I don't know what happened that was like a brief
blip right there for no reason.
Anyway let's continue. It happened he was you know a teenager.
Well now he's in his 60s and he's never been to Iran since
the 1970s. He's also something of a playboy in the Washington area.
He's not a player in Iranian exile circles, but he seems to have a whole lot of money. Well, over
the last couple of weeks, several things have happened. Number one, the Israeli government spilled
the beans and they admitted that they have been financing him. So is he a Mossad asset?
You bet he's a Mossad essay. Mossad is saying it. Number two, he doesn't know anything about
contemporary Iran. Patrick Bet David, the big podcaster, invited Reza Pellevy to go on his podcast
a week ago. And Reza never called him back, never even attempted to, you know, get his name out
there, get his picture out there, talk about his view of a future Iran. He's not interested.
Donald Trump has been pressured by people on the neo-conservative right to welcome Riza Pallavi into the Oval Office.
He would be the person that the United States would announce is going to be the guy that we're interested in.
And Trump said, no, he's not interested.
I'm going to give you my own admittedly biased view.
My own view is Rehla Pallavi is a joke.
He's a caricature, a cartoon character.
He lives in a mansion all by himself in Potomac, Maryland.
Nobody pays any attention to him,
except these really rich Iranian exiles,
most of whom are in Beverly Hills.
The only people who really, really want him
to be the leader of Iran are the Israelis.
I'll add one other thing.
As I said, the guy is a non-entity in Washington.
He's a non-entity even in Iranian exile politics, but the Washington Post, which is owned by
Jeff Bezos and is the mouthpiece of the 1% of the 1%, ran an op-ed last week that Reza
Pallavi wrote and he said that he wanted to go-
It's Israel. Israel is writing the op-ed. That's it. There's two competing forces within the
diasporoid communities is MEK, which has even less of a popular base in Iran. MEK is just like a
suicide terror cult, okay? Except they have a fairly robust lobbying arm in America. And that's
That's why like Rudy Giuliani is constantly chirping and John Bolton is like critical of
Donald Trump's Iranian intervention, because John Bolton, Rudy Giuliani, and a bunch of
these other people are, are MEK supporters because they've been getting paid by MEK.
Okay.
Reza Pahlavi is Israel's guy.
And so obviously he gets a lot of motion, but the reality is he has a little bit
more support in Iran, but not that much. Neither of these, neither M.E.K. nor Reza
Balavi will ever be the actual fucking leaders of Iran, unless America came in with full force
and installed him as a puppet.
Go back to Iran to usher in a period of democracy. What do you know about democracy? Your
The father was a fascist dictator who slaughtered his own people and who stole billions upon
billions of dollars from the nation's treasury.
So you think it should be you who goes back to Iran after 50 years and brings in a period
of democracy?
Come on, I'm insulted by that.
So yeah, this guy's not going to be, I made a comment today kind of offhandedly and
The more I think about it, the more I believe it to be true.
He wouldn't survive the walk from the plane to the terminal if he were to fly back to
Iran.
So he's not going to be.
Yeah, 100%.
Yeah, there's an apostle of the and the future of Iran, 800,000 fucking views in
one day, praying for the Iranian people in a bright future, really impressed with his
ability to answer these tough questions. You didn't even want to, the funniest thing
is like, I don't even think he wants to do it that much.
I must admit the CI honeypot is working on me. What do you mean? Yeah. Van Jones, another
fucking that's how you know that's how you know this shit is so this shit is so
base-boosted because fucking Van Jones is pushing it at its states and Israel
conducted a second day of strikes on targets across Iran guys stop sending me
this shikes to layman guy okay I'm sorry he literally routinely post old videos
he's like one of the fucking power farmers on Twitter Jesus Christ Iran
supreme leader has been killed Tehran has retaliated let's do a little bit
better. Let's be a little bit more careful with who we keep linking. Okay.
With missile attacks on Israel, neighboring countries and US military bases in the region.
At least three falling victim, the propaganda that goes against your consumer propaganda
right now by that guy, falling victim, the propaganda that goes against Reza, Pahlavi.
Yeah, well here, I'm watching the pro-Rez apollavi propaganda. Let's take a look at American
service members have been killed. Scott Pelly is in Paris following events, including what
Reza Apollavi didn't even fucking say a single thing about the hundred plus schoolgirls
that Israel and America slaughtered, only to then come out and be like, Oh, the six
beautiful soldiers that died or the the the six beautiful soldiers that were
killed that that makes me so sad i'm so apologetic about the the beautiful
american soldiers that were killed it's crazy
it's crazy
could be next for iran tonight the most prominent member of the iranian
opposition says he believes did i miss it or did john kerecau
sincerely talk about how Reza Pahlavi didn't want to go on Patrick Bet David and therefore he is
rendered ineligible for leadership roles in Iran. I know I skipped past that a little bit but
did he sincerely say that?
that. Maybe he's not CIA actually. No, honestly, I don't think he's CIA any longer. This is
the most I'm gonna be I'm gonna be honest with you. This is the most like there is
There's no shot that motherfuckers still CIA for saying stuff like that.
This is just the Iranian regime is collapsing.
He said we need to move away from his government.
Do you want him to stop because of war casualties?
Oh, I do.
I respect you less than I respect you.
My respect for you is non-existent.
Okay.
Like if I stepped in dogs, you know would have more respect like have some decency, man
Stop trying to justify this shit Jesus Christ
But you can't literally tell me hey, I want regime change in Iran
I don't think it's gonna happen with American bombs like you can't say that sincerely
Like it's so far beyond your scope of comprehension because you came in here and said that I'd be like yes
I agree with you 100%
Okay
it's not a
that mother focus come in here and they're like no no no you don't understand
the best possible way to do regime change iran is by slaughtering iranian
children
your cycle
your cycle path
and he would like to lead a transition that makes iran safe for the world
sixty five-year-old raise a polly
is the son of the former king or show up around
who was deposed in nineteen seventy nine by revolutionaries
and hardline islamic clerics
in that year of revolution
polly was eighteen years old and living in love with texas
for the u.s. air force was training him to be a fighter pilot
he was never able to go home he has lived in exile forty seven years
mostly in the united states
but tonight he's in paris
where we asked him if he wants to be king.
What Iran's policy should be toward Israel
and nuclear weapons?
We started our interview with the news
that the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Hamani,
had been killed in the opening hours of the war.
It is definitely a sort of earth-shattering event
in the sense that when people identified
the entire monstrosity of the regime
is depicted ultimately king equals bringing democracy to Iran guys don't ask questions like that okay
yes it doesn't make sense it doesn't even have to make sense at this point
doesn't even have to make sense at this point no it doesn't just shut the fuck up
to shut the fuck up and let Israel dominate the fucking region and also this country's foreign
policy as it pertains to the Middle East. Okay? How about that?
By the chief monster of these monsters, when he's gone, the minute such a personality disappears,
it's like elation. It was like, oh my god, it has finally occurred. Maybe this is it. This is
our chance now. You call him a monster. What do you mean? Well, I mean, ever since
This regime has taken over how many Iranians lives have been lost
I don't think you can have an example of such level of atrocity ever in the history of Iran or at this contemporary
Now thinking more in deep. I don't even care about your opinion on Iran leader. You are not even being invited to Patrick
But David
True Patrick, but David he is avoided having me on
Because he's worried I should be the leader of Iran, okay? That's why he's worried that's
occurred on this regime and this is all because of Ali Khamenei's insistence and persistence
to keep himself and his mafia regime in power at the expense of the Iranian people. I don't
know how else can he depict it other than being true monsters in the recess of the
world.
This past January, Iranians poured into the streets.
Pallavi urged them on, and hundreds of thousands marched.
The regime gunned down an estimated 20,000 citizens.
The massacre was a prelude to war.
This is video overnight after the announcement of the death of the Ayatollah in the city of Isfahan.
What does that mean to you?
That means that finally we are ready to go back to the streets,
even though I have cautioned them that for now you better take care of your own safety
and stay at home.
The time will come to go back on the streets.
But then again, you see that despite that, people still are brave enough to say to help with it.
Because to us it's liberation.
To us it's like a humanitarian intervention to protect lives that could otherwise be continued to be lost.
It gives the Iranian people a real opportunity now, when they see the end of this regime,
that it was always bound to collapse.
Whether there was an intervention or not, I want to make sure your audience understand
that, that we were prepared to fight the fight.
There was too much blood between us and this regime.
We were committed to fight regardless of outside intervention.
It sounded like Kira Kau's critique was that this dude isn't even performing his
roles and has really asked that, well, like the dude is taking the paychecks,
but not even advocating for his leadership implementation aggressively enough.
Yes, there's also like no day after plan at all. There's no real mobilization on the ground. There's no real plan
Like normally if you really want to be the fucking leader of a country with 93 million people
You should have at least thought about like what you're gonna do
Also, it's very funny when he says we're committed to fighting against this regime.
It's like, yeah, really?
You're committed to it by fucking caching Israeli checks in Maryland as your wife, box
the yoga instructor.
Incredible.
The thanking President Trump from actually standing on his word and acting upon his
word.
Do you actually believe this regime could fall after almost 50 years?
Of course.
Prince Reza Pallavi told us he wants to lead Iran in a transition to democracy.
You don't want to be king?
I'm not running for office.
I'm not.
Are you saying in this interview that you wouldn't lead Iran?
That's a different thing.
They trust me as a transitional leader.
What does the future king or future president or future whatever?
I'm totally focused on my mission in life, which is,
let me bring the country to a point that they can make that free choice.
That would be enough for me having submission accomplished.
You imagine peace with Israel?
Of course.
In modern history, Iran actually gave refuge to Jews that were escaping
the Nazis during the Second World War, giving them refuge and sanctuary in Iran.
The strategic importance of having a...
I mean, this part is not wrong. Yes. And also Iran, much like the rest of the region,
was a safe haven for the longest time for Jews. This part is also true. There's still Jews living
in Iran as well, approximately 10,000 of them. And they're Iranian. They even serve,
sometimes they serve in the Iranian military.
partnership with Israel is critical.
What are the principles on which you would build a new Iran?
I think what today unites us are four core principles that I think is the subject of how
we can work together towards that end.
Number one is Iran's territorial integrity.
Number two is a clear separation of religion from state, which is a prerequisite to
democracy, and we paid the price understanding what it means to live under a religious
dictatorship.
Number three is of course equality of all citizens under the law and individual liberties.
And most importantly, the process, the democratic process to allow the people to...
A lot of Beverly Hills Iranians are used to the record.
Yes, I know.
A lot of the Iranian Jews left after the Islamic revolution.
Elect and decide what the future system of governance should be.
What would happen to the nuclear weapons program?
I think it should be totally...
So they, Loki, they like Israel more, let's be real.
Ispanto?
I don't think Iran has any need to pursue a military weaponizing of the nuclear program.
Pallavi's father was the last king.
Mohammed, razor Pallavi, was close.
This entire interview is just literally him repeating like what he wants Israel to say.
Like this is just Israel talking.
to the United States but he brutally suppressed opposition and showered
friends with lavish wealth. In 1979 he left Iran amid rising political tension
and a hard-line cleric Ayatollah Khomeini returned from exile to lead a
revolution. Iranians blamed the US for supporting the king and revolutionaries
overran the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and held 52 Americans.
Yeah, I wonder why they... I wonder why.
It's hostage for 444 days.
Your father's reign is remembered for repression and opulent wealth.
And I wonder why you believe the people would welcome you now?
Well, you know, that's perhaps one narrative.
But when you look at a lot of people who were at the time living that era,
they were telling me, you know what?
We recognize where we were and where we are now.
And today we want to be with you. We support you. We back you.
And there were people who were in those...
Yeah, yes, yes. Back then we were fucking ripping your fingernails for speaking out against the Shah, but this time is different.
So-called prisons that were notorious or repressive or whatever you call it, they were imprisoned under the previous regime.
People were killed in your father's regime.
Look, my father left Iran voluntarily to avoid bloodshed, and he said...
Yeah, who's bloodshed said I'm a king a king doesn't build his throne on the blood of his own people
if the nation today wants me out I would leave I will not turn my guns on them you have been out
of the country for nearly 50 years why would the people want you if they thought that was an
issue. I don't think they'll be calling my name by the millions on the streets of Iran.
I think that part of the reason people trust me only is because they cannot associate me
in any way or form to the revolution or to be part of this regime. The very same people
who today are in the streets, all the young kids that are getting shot and massacred
by this regime or a generation that turns to their parents and tell them what the hell
were you thinking? What was that madness to think that this Khomeini character is going
to be our solution and our path to freedom? And look at where we are now. But from the
day I left, I never left Iran. Iran had been on my mind every single year of my life,
single. When I wake up in the morning, the first thing that my mind is wrong.
Pallavi told us he is in touch with the Trump administration and members of Congress. What
is your message to President Trump? My message to President Trump is that I'm
here to echo and join millions of my compatriots inside the NASA to be wrong to thank him
for having done and having the courage to do what is not easy but intervene. And
And he will go down in the annals of Iranian history as the most celebrated foreign leader
that changed the ballgame and changed the world as a result.
In January, do CVS news is so fucking Trump cucked?
Come on man, no response to that?
Yeah?
Trump is gonna be reminded and remember the annals of history is the great liberator
really?
You got no statements on that one?
Just moving right past it, huh?
Trump said this about you. Quote, he seems very nice, but I don't know how he'd play
within his own country. I don't know whether or not his country would accept his leadership.
And sir, there's the funniest part about this is that like Trump, Trump has an eye for,
for, for people who he can at least manipulate, but also has like a popular base of support.
if they would, that would be fine with me. You don't seem to have President Trump's whole-hearted
support.
What is this?
Well, first of all, I don't think that somebody in my position will ever expect to have an
official endorsement of a foreign government or a foreign leader. What I do know now is
that millions of Iranians inside Iran and outside of Iran are calling my name. They're
recognizing me, the person unique placed, to play a role of transitional leadership.
not running for office because that's not what I'm doing, but to be a breeze to that
density.
Unrest has been building for months.
Last June, U.S. and Israeli forces attacked Iran's nuclear facilities.
And in 2022, one of the largest uprisings in the nearly 50-year history of the regime
erupted.
Iran's morality police arrested a 22-year-old woman accusing her of failing to cover
her hair.
She was killed in custody and crowds moved into the streets to demand an end to the regime.
Security forces killed more than 500, arrested 22,000, and blacked out the internet.
Much of the population has been seething right through today.
When you see the courage on the streets that we're witnessing now,
I wonder how that moves you.
I think it's the ultimate definition of heroism.
Do you remember that lone Chinese student in Tiananmen Square
standing in front of that tank?
I remember that image.
Let me give you another visual that has been going viral on the cyberspace.
That firefighter was carrying a wounded person that was shot on the streets
It's just a few weeks ago, and they shot him to death.
That image.
You know, I exemplify that.
It's a tremendous thing to witness.
Pallavi told us there are units in the military and police who have signaled to him that they
would turn on the hardline government.
Were they at bro?
Were they at though?
He says many but not all troops could be given amnesty in a process of national reconciliation.
In fact, it will be a clear indication that this is the time for them to make a decision.
Do you want to join this time with the people or do you want to stand with the sinking ship?
Yeah, good thing possible that this is the thing the Israeli strikes are making that distinction,
by the way, by fucking blowing them up.
Your view will penetrate the internet blackout, and I wonder what you say to the Iranian people.
Have faith in yourselves. You are a nation with an ancient civilization.
And I know how proud you are of your heritage.
How important you are.
All right, enough.
The real, the real shot of Iran is talking history.
Now the joint US Israel campaign to crush the radical regime and Iran is ahead of schedule
according to president.
We're interrupting this.
We're interrupting this interview between Reza Bahlavi and 60 minutes to talk to
the actual boss of Reza Bahlavi, Benjamin Netanyahu.
are celebrating around the world and thanking President Donald J. Trump. But the work is
far from over. In fact, both President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned the
most intense strikes from the U.S. military are still on the way. Now coming up in a moment,
we'll check in with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Also, kind of a shot of America too when you think about it.
So, there you, since this started. But first, here now at the very latest, the details
from the ongoing military campaign in Washington tonight,
our very own Jennifer Griffin.
Jennifer, what's the latest?
Good evening, Sean.
We have more details on the Iranian drone strike
targeting the US Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Two drones struck the embassy, which
was basically empty at the time.
Smoke and fire can be seen coming from the embassy.
No injuries have been reported.
Americans are being told, however,
to shelter in place in cities across Saudi Arabia.
In the last 24 hours, US Central Command says it has sunk all 11 of the Iranian Navy ships
since the operation began.
Overnight, B-1 bombers from South Dakota flew roundtrip for 34 hours with a 75,000-pound
payload which had dropped on Iranian-hardened missile sites.
Four B-2 bombers flew 37 hours roundtrip this weekend from the US with dozens of
2,000-pound bombs.
Dan Cain, said the U.S. has achieved air superiority in just 48 hours.
Secretary Hakeseth would not rule out having U.S. troops on the ground in Iran.
Three American F-15 strike eagle fighter jets were shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses in
a friendly fire incident today.
All six American pilots evacuated safely.
The death toll from that Iranian missile or drone that struck a U.S. tactical operations
center is now six.
they found two American service members buried under the rubble.
Sean?
Alright, our prayers are with their families.
Jennifer, thank you.
Coming up, we will hear from Senator Lindsey Graham, Senator John Fetterman, and the U.S.
special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Wyckoff.
He was in the room.
He was involved in the negotiations.
But first, only moments ago, I sat down with America's partner in this joint operation.
America's president.
The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.
America's real president.
Joining us now is the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Mr. Prime Minister, thank
you for being here. I know you probably have gotten very little sleep in the last number
of days. Why now? What precipitated this moment at this time? I know you have talked about.
We've known each other 30, 35, maybe more years, and why at this point was this necessary?
Well, the first thing to understand is why it's necessary at any time. Iran, for 47 years,
has been chanting, death to America, death to Israel too. But you're the big Satan, we're
the small Satan. Death to America. They've murdered and maimed thousands of Americans
in Iraq and Afghanistan with their IEDs, these are roadside bombs. They bombed your embassies.
They tried to assassinate Donald Trump, the president of the United States twice.
They murdered their own people.
They massacred so many.
And they spread a worldwide web of terror.
So this is a regime committed to destroying the United States of America.
It's the only country on the planet that says so openly and works tirelessly to
achieve that goal.
The reason that we have to act now is because they were, after we hit their nuclear sites
and their ballistic missiles program, you'd think they learned a lesson, but they didn't
because they're unreformable.
They're...
God damn it.
...about the goal of destroying America.
So they started building new sites, new places, underground bunkers that would make
their ballistic missile program and their atomic bomb program, immune within months.
If no action was taken now, no action could be taken in the future.
And then they could target America, they could blackmail America, they could threaten us
and threaten everyone in between.
So action had to be taken.
And you needed a resolution president like Donald J. Trump to take that action.
And we are his very strong and able partners, and our alliance today is so strong we have
to take the action now, and we did.
Otherwise, the Iranian mass murder regime would have immunity from future action.
MR.
WALKER.
Steve Wittkopf made this statement, the Middle Eastern envoy, and he made it last
week that they absolutely are clinging to their ability to build out a nuclear weapons program.
And the president, as he said, he wanted a peace deal, gave them every opportunity for
peace like they did before Operation Midnight Hammer.
And they steadfastly refused.
In the first 30 seconds, I've never seen anything like this in my life, the Supreme
leader, the Ayatollah, Ali Hamanay, and his top 40 leaders will wipe out Ahmadinejad among
them.
That is incredible intelligence and...
No!
Ahmadinejad is alive!
I'm sure this will be studied...
According to Patrick Brett David, Ahmadinejad is alive.
You son of a bitch!
America, the indispensable ally for Israel and the greatest power in the world.
Israel America's model allies the National Security Council just called it when we work
together amazing bro what the fuck bruh I want to listen to my president speak you know
I met him in Mar-a-Lago you may remember that yeah I'm gonna go in this one this one's
more reliable usually I want to hear my president talk man I want to hear the goat
talk or before is there he was inaugurated the second time and we met we met in Mar-a-Lago
and the first thing that Donald Trump said to me he said you know we have to prevent
Iran from getting news stop slandering your fucking hands on the table dumbass he saw that
as a I apologize please don't deport me Mr. President please I'm sorry United States
to have a regime like that so fanatic
that it just defines itself
uh... by destroying america exporting revolution exporting terrorism exporting
the worst
islamist fanaticism that
attacks iraq's attacks israelis attacks americans that's a really scary
and it's right
they just fired now
inside around the police including cyprus in europe
to have a regime like that
that plans to eradicate the united states
have the weapons of mass death would have been the greatest threat that America would face
in the coming decades. And so he said to me, right off the bat, I didn't say to him, he said to me,
we have to make sure they never get the nukes. And that's what he did. We tried first to take
them out in Midnight Hammer and Rising Line operation. And we took out their missile
sites, but then they started again, their missile and nuclear sites. They didn't learn the
lesson. He tried to get negotiations. He negotiated with them. They didn't get it. They tried to
string them along. So action had to be taken and we took it.
President Trump repeated over and over and over again. And I would argue that the leadership
that is now dead was a death cult and an existential threat, not just to the region,
not just to Israel, death to Israel, death to America. But I am very convinced and
have been convinced, as you have been for decades, that if they ever got nuclear weapons
that they would, you know, along with their fanaticism, it would cause them to use it.
That is what that death cult would cause them to do.
Is this now the culmination of decades of your work and your belief and your passion
that these radicals needed to be defeated?
And what is next for Iran?
You know, we talk about, well, the regime's changed, but we don't know into what yet.
What are your thoughts?
Well, you're right.
I have spoken about it for decades, and I try to persuade successive American administrations
to take firm action.
And President Films, in his first term, did.
He got out of the disastrous Iran deal, right off the bat, and he did everything
could to prevent them from going into the nuclear program that they seek to build atomic
bombs to threaten us and you, and ultimately to attack both of us and to destroy as much
as they can, because this is what these people do.
They basically are in the business of mass death, and you're right to call them a death
cult.
I worked with several presidents.
I always appreciated the fact that we had, well, forthright discussions.
And we agreed, but often we didn't, we disagreed.
And I appreciated that we kept the alliance going.
But I want to tell you something, I'm not a youngster, so I've been around.
There's never been a president like Donald J. Trump.
His resoluteness, his decisiveness, his clarity of thinking, the way he gets things, gets
right to the crux of things, it cuts through all the flow.
It's really bad Israel. No, he is in Israel. He didn't, he, they sent the plane back, but
he, he stayed in Israel and I think, uh, I think for Israel and I think for the countries
of the free world, let me tell you, I think for the world, uh, it is, we're very lucky
to have him as the leader of the free world. And in fact, the leader of the world, he's
brought America back to being the leader of the world. And it makes up a huge difference.
I'm gonna be honest. I don't think Benjamin and Yahoos sucking Trump's cock this hard just one is gonna be good or Trump's
Conversations, but I can tell you especially the way people are reading what's going on. You know, thank God
The Donald Trump is here. Thank God that you act the two of you are acting together to remove the threat
Not only to you but to us and he wanted a just bombed with these ballistic missiles these weapons of mass death
These weapons of terror, they're terror weapons.
They bombed all these countries.
They bombed Cyprus, which is Europe.
I've said they won't take very long.
They're bombing us, they're bombing Europe, and when they develop the intercontinental
ballistic missiles and the nuclear war, it's to fit on these nuclear, on these ballistic
missiles, they'll threaten you, and eventually they'll bomb you.
This is what President Trump understood, and alone among U.S. presidents that I've
worked with.
is cracked up because he has to speak softly. Yeah, because the burlinners in the hotel room
next door might hear him. I think that history will, through the prism of history, he will
be viewed very favorably by recognizing a threat in the last century. You're a historian,
Mr. Prime Minister, you know, between Mao China, Stalin, Russia, Hitler, Germany,
Mussolini, fascism, Tojo, Japan, Pol Pot, the killing fields, estimated over 100 million
human souls slaughtered in the name of some ism.
Now we see the president and the prime minister partnering together to stop a threat before
it emerges and becomes unstoppable, which I've got to give you both so much credit for.
It is transformational, it is consequential.
I guess I want to look forward a little bit.
We had in his first term the Abraham Accords, I know that there are countries in your region
of the world that have been looking for a window of opportunity.
I'm talking about the likes of Saudi Arabia and the UAE and Dubai and Egypt and Jordan
et cetera.
Do you see a path to a long-lasting peace in the region which we've not seen in forever?
Yes, I do.
In fact, I hear the people are saying we're going to have an endless war here.
You're not going to have an endless war, because we're at this point where we've been
in Iran, this terror regime in Iran is the weakest point that has been here since
I said it took hijacked Iran from the brave Iranian people 47 years ago.
So we're – this is going to be a quick and decisive action, and we're going to create
the conditions first for the Iranian people to get control of their destiny, to form
their own democratically elected government, which will make Iran a different Iran altogether,
because Iran has been the main engine of war over these years.
It's just 95 percent of all the problems you see in the Middle East are generated by Iran.
And the worldwide terror network that they built is generated and orchestrated from Iran.
So when you take away Iran, when you let the people of Iran have the opportunity to act
and liberate themselves, free themselves from the yoke of this terror machine, you get
a different future.
I think that will open up the way for many peace treaties with other Arab countries,
with Muslim countries.
I think it changes the world.
Now, of course, it's up to the people of Iran in the final count to change the government.
But we are creating America and Israel together, are creating the conditions for them to do
so.
I think that if we go through what we plan to do, I think it will create conditions
for peace.
This is not an endless war.
This is, in fact, something that will usher in an era of peace that we haven't even
dreamed of.
You know, the president said to the people of Iran, the hour of freedom is at hand.
And you know, you've been asking America for years to do this, and now your window
is here.
Probably one of the key countries in all of this would be Saudi Arabia and NBS.
Do you specifically see Pat there?
A Pat for peace.
Yeah, well, I think Saudi Arabia will have a lot to gain.
I think all these countries around Iran are threatened by Iran.
I think they want to see this regime go down, even if they don't publicly say that.
They've just been targeted by Iran.
So obviously, if Iran is removed, that's a great boon to Saudi Arabia, a great boon
to Iran.
And it's real high.
And it's real high.
And it's real high.
And it's real high.
And it's real high.
And it's real high.
And it's real high.
Really possible and probably very close.
Once this thing happens.
So this is a gateway for peace, for a broader peace, and I believe that we can achieve it.
The most important thing to understand is that when we work together, President Trump
and I, we achieved, in fact, four breakthroughs for peace, brokered by President Trump working
together with me.
I'm going to be honest, I feel like if the global war on terror had not happened,
Americans broadly recognized it as a fucking failure. And Israel had not committed a heinous
genocide for the past two and a half years while demanding unlimited fealty from the everyday American
and also telling them to shut the fuck up or else they get fired. And like they try to do this,
like, oh, we're getting together allies, getting together and like fighting the acts of evil,
they probably would have had a much better shot at like going after Iran. The reality of the
the matter is, that's not the world we're living in. We're living in the current world
where everybody fucking hates Israel.
Hi guys, I'm Hamas. You got Nazrallah who've been in power for 30-some-odd years.
Everybody fucking hates Israel.
Yeah, the pager in Syria.
For exactly this reason.
I'll come, drop 14.
And now you got high-ranking Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee talking
about how this is Israel's war, by the way. A couple days ago when I was saying
this, motherfuckers in my chat were like, Hassan, don't say that. Don't say that.
anti-Semitic you're gonna hurt the feelings of you know people that that want to defend Iran's
death and destruction. Now you got high-ranking Democrat saying-
Trump is with him over 30 years nobody drags Donald Trump into anything number one but I
want to get your reaction-
Normies are reading this as this is Israel totally fucking running the show.
Well you're right I mean that's that's ridiculous Donald Trump is the strongest
in the world. He does what he thinks is right for America. He does also what he thinks is
right for future generations. And frankly, we're partners in that effort because I've devoted
my life to securing the life of the one and only Jewish state. And believe me, it's been
a struggle. I've known the pangs of war. I lost a brother in war in battle. I myself
Clark Harrison was wounded in liberating hostages from a hijacked plane.
I held a fellow soldier in my arms when I was 17.
Wait, what?
No, your brother went on that operation and died.
You didn't go.
I lost the war.
But I know sometimes that war is necessary to protect us from the people who would
destroy us.
And that's what free societies have to understand.
Did he just literally take credit for his brother's operation that his brother died
in, by the way?
fighting. That's crazy. We're fighting here. The bad guys, we're the good guys. These people
massacre their own people. Imagine what they would do. These people will chant after America
if they had ballistic missiles and the nuclear warheads to deliver to every American city.
Do you want to wait? Do you want to bet your future on whether they would do it or
they would not do it? I mean, look, nobody stopped North Korea, so they now have
Ballistic missiles and nuclear war warheads, but they don't say death to America Iran is 50, North Korea's
Iran is committed to your destruction and whether people understand it or not
The leader has to understand it Donald Trump understands it
You don't have to drag him into anything and nobody would do it anyway
He does what he thinks is right and this is right and let me tell you I visited today a town in Israel
Okay? This town, yesterday, a ballistic missile, it's like a truck, you know, it's like a bus full of TNT,
comes in at Mach 8, and slams right into a synagogue. Okay? And right around there, nine people murdered.
So here's the difference between us. These mass murderers in Tehran, they target civilians.
We in Israel and America target the mass terrorist.
That's the, the, the, the, a nutshell of the difference.
And we have to protect our world against these people.
And if these people have the weapons of mass death, these mass-
Terrorism mosque, churches, hospitals, children in a girl's school.
You know, when's the church called the, he's called this a slumber of democracies.
They said they slumber they couldn't sleep and they wake up only when the jarring
Once again, as I said early on right after October 7th
I wouldn't be using World War two analogies if I were you big dog. I wouldn't
Because half of the population is already super fucking anti-semitic and the other half of the population
Also thinks that what we should be doing to Israel is what we did to the Nazis. So
So-called leaders who don't see it.
You know, you have no one, really no one in your corner on the World War II side.
The ones that think the Nazis were on the good side already hate you.
And the ones that think the Nazis need to be punished also now think you need to be
punished in the same way.
Sponetics who don't care.
We just have to get up there.
They've lost 100 percent of population.
They've built terror armies to strangle the people of Lebanon and the people of
of Gaza and the people of other people, that's what they do.
So to act against them is not a bad thing.
It's a good thing.
And it's high time that the people of the free societies understood that they have to act
to protect their freedom and our way of life.
We're fighting by barons.
Israel is at the front line of this battle against barbarism.
And America, America under President Trump, has entered this fight to protect our civilization
to protect our common future.
Well, I hope the people in Europe are listening, and very specifically Macron and France and
the leader in Spain, and I can tell you this, is Starmer is no Winston Churchill.
I hope they hear...
God, Starmer is so cocked and they still hate him.
It's so funny.
It's so funny.
...and national defense, they have allowed unfettered illegal immigration without assimilation.
resulting in what, 80-some-odd sharia courts in Great Britain
and no-go zones in other parts of Europe.
I hope they watch and witness and learn from President Trump
and from you, Mr. Prime Minister.
I pray for all the people in the region and I pray for a lasting peace.
That would be my dream, my prayer for everybody in the region,
and we do appreciate your time tonight, sir.
Well, thank you, and it's called peace through strength.
It's not a slogan. It's the most basic
Honest, I'm gonna be honest the basic something shifted in a very unkind world
Something shifted wrong to protect freedom Ruben Gallego going beast mode and you're top Democrats going beast mode
Something shifted in the Democratic Party's ass some time, but it's not gonna take years
It's not I think the top line Democrats are still hesitant
right now
To achieve the peace that we all yearn and pray for and I think together will achieve it
We are pray you're right. Mr. Prime Minister is really Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Thank you
Thank you, Sean. Thank you. I
Think it's it's incredibly incredibly toxic to associate yourself with Benjamin Netanyahu right now
Okay
Honestly, all of them should copy this messaging. Mr. Rubio admitted what we all know. US has entered a war of choice on behalf of Israel.
There was never any so-called Iranian threat. Shitting both American and Iranian blood is thus on Israel first.
American people deserve better and should take back their country.
What is this? All right, this next trade is an honor. Everyone who gave their lives during Operation Base Cattle, whoops, we got to suspend redemptions for a little bit.
Thanks for your sacrifices or whatever.
Um here. This is what I'm talking about. Let me find the let me find the fucking tweet the United States and Israel conducted us
Okay, okay
Enough I don't want to hear from as a possible be already saw the real shot. I already we were already listening to the real shot speak
Okay
Dude look at this it's also be clear
Said before I've said now
There was no
imminent threat to the United States of America by the Iranians. Bro, no, Ruben
Gallego has been going crazy mode. I don't know where the fuck this came from.
He has been going crazy mode. Straight up. More or not you.
Israel is the equivalent of an imminent threat to the United States and we are in uncharted
territory.
Like that, bro, that's unexpected.
That's fucking unexpected.
What the hell did they hear in that briefing?
Yeah, Ruben Gallego has done a bunch of fun shit.
We have to reconcile why our bombs were used or Israeli bombs were used to kill children,
young girls at a school.
And what the imminent threat was, it hasn't been described.
We have to-
I mean, he still goes, what's the imminent threat?
It hasn't been described.
Uh, Enrique Bento says, I don't think that the left is prepared for how much liberal
politicians are set to shift on these issues and how good they might sound on them by
2027.
We shouldn't take for granted that any candidate of ours will enjoy a position as a lone
truth teller. But isn't, but that is evidence of the battle has been almost one on the issue,
isn't it? I think it's pretty clear at this point that moral victories aren't nearly the
same as the real thing. Yeah. Like, I don't want to hear, I don't want to hear from people.
I don't want to hear from people going, Oh, it's great. You, you know, I'm not committed
to a pack or, um, you know, oh, this is Israel's war or whatever. If they don't
fucking turn around and commit to decoupling from Israel. I want to see policy. That's why
I want to hear, that's why I want to hear motherfuckers call it what it is, a genocide.
Right? Like these guys still are trying to find the appropriate message and that's good.
The fact that they are moving, the fact that they're moving in our direction in their
messaging is good. But if they don't actually turn around and say certain things because
they're too afraid to say it. That means they're not actually about that lifestyle. They're just
telling you what you want to hear. They're at least cognizant enough to know that the opinion
of the majority is shifted.
But I will say, I think Marco Rubio coming out and being like, we did this for Israel was
was not the best idea. And I agree with the sentiment expressed. I agree with this take
because Matt Iglesias was like, it feels like Trump administration is trying as hard as possible
to maximize blowback on diaspora Jews for their own dubious choices and don't like
it. And Matt Petty is absolutely correct on this. He says, I don't think they are
playing 5D chess here. Most of the senior administration is in an information ecosystem
where we did it for Israel is rewarded. You were also a part of this ecosystem until a
few days ago when you suddenly caught up to the Democratic base.
That's it. They literally came out and said, oh, this is for Israel. We did it for Israel
because I think they think that their donors will like hearing that. They've always said
that and their donors have always liked it. And up until recently, this kind of
statement was rewarded. This kind of sentiment was rewarded. People
looked at this kind of thing and thought, oh, you're, you're, you
know, you're acting out our interest. That's a good thing.
That's not a bad thing, right? But what shifted is the popular
sentiment. What shifted is the ground from underneath their
feet and they are oblivious.
Huh, I know I saw the Matt Wall Street I talked about it.
I covered it already.
I covered it.
I covered it earlier.
Matt Walsh is also probably pulling out a daily wire going forward and he will look
for an independent career for himself.
Because there is no shot.
Bishop here.
Let's him get away with that.
What is this?
Have you seen what John Curicow said about you?
Hey everybody.
I wanted to say hi to all of the Haskord members and especially to all the regulators and one of the guys on this channel.
Remember!
Come to our spy training on Monday. Just kidding.
Although, if there was spy training on Monday, I believe you would rather not be worried.
Fuck!
When I first started spy training, I was married to my first wife, who knew nothing about the CIA.
She was a ballet teacher.
She knew nothing.
And I looked at the CIA.
Well, in spy training, one of the first things they taught us was to wear disguises.
And I did a full day of training, got home at like 10.30 at night, I was tired, and so I didn't take my disguise off.
So, I go into the house.
She's up watching TV with our son, who was like three, I think, at the time.
And when I came up to the top of the stairs and she saw me, she screamed the most blood-curdling scream,
grabbed the phone, dialed 911, and I said,
Wait a minute, it's me, it's me.
Get the fuck out of here!
And the genie's at the phone, she bursts into tears, and she says,
And she says, even if you quit this job, well, you're not gonna do me.
So...
We got divorced.
And anyway, I'm better off for it.
So hey, thanks for your support.
I hope you enjoyed the videos and shorts and the clips and all that stuff.
And I hope all is good with you.
Thanks.
Bye-bye.
Hegzip praised Israel as a capable partner and mocked all the other allies for not helping.
Provisions as well, for which we are grateful.
What will it take like I swear to God these guys are literally going to come out and be like we like Israel a lot more than you quite frankly I think all of you deserve death.
All of you are being very anti Semitic for all of your criticisms against the best country on the planet which happens to be Israel not the United States of America.
America. And even if, and even if someone fucking turns around and goes like, what the
fuck are you saying? That's insane. There will still be a bunch of like vox.com article
writers that'll be like, let's talk about the real anti-Semitism, which is calling
into question, uh, the American allegiance with Israel. I do think they're just like
stress testing, the cattle theory in general, like I feel like they're trying to see like
how much can we communicate to the MAGA base about how their sons are going to die for Israel
before they say, okay, I think this is kind of fucked up. Maybe I would like healthcare
instead. That's what it is. It feels like like Benjamin Danielle literally came out
almost like I love Donald Trump. He's given me my childhood wish. My childhood dream was to destroy Iran.
Do you think liberal Zionism still sells liberal Zionism hasn't sold since October 7.
It doesn't sell. Wait, is this supposed to be funny? What the fuck is this? Okay, well, you
don't know who that is. But yes. If regime change conference is going to be in Bahrain,
no, I think Saudi is moving their units in the Bahrain to stamp out the protest. Not a
box writer, but writing in the same annoying way. Oh, that's not, that's Park McDougal,
dude, or whatever. However, you say as a tablet guy. I'm by no means an uncritical
Trump admin booster just slavishly didn't know what hates this fucking guy it's so funny
I don't know anything about this person the only reason why I know about him is because
Noah Collwin hates him so much he has so much hatred in his heart for this guy
I'm by no means an uncritical admin booster but I don't throw around TDS as an all-purpose
insult but the combination of establishment TDS and dooming subversion from the right
wing influences fear is creating a truly astounding amount of garbage analysis MSM and alt media
are amplifying each other's worst tendencies in a joint effort to meme a catastrophe and
do exist. Okay, I don't even care enough about this shit.
Did you hear the Canada's Liberal Party infighting yes, Carney over his support for striking Iran?
Why is the Prime Minister of Israel going on to be to explain this war and not the President
of the United States?
I mean, okay, something shifted.
Can you feel it?
Do you feel like it's like these are the guys who would be like, we can't go on the
Hassanavi broadcast because he's far too critical of Israel and people will call us
anti-Semitic.
Now they're saying the things I'm saying.
Do you understand?
Like, that's not like, that's a regular ass lib, man.
That's like a normal ass lib.
That's not like a fucking radical.
That's not even someone who was like,
United States Senator from Hawaii,
Chief Deputy Whip, Brian Shatts.
It's called validation enjoy it. I don't think it's uh it's it's not it's validation is not
enough I want results. I want a forcible shift in American foreign policy moving away from
Israel I want to punish Israel for its genocide. Bro remember when people said Mershammer's
anti-Semitic for writing the Israel lobby. Yeah. I mean, we moved past that point.
Mershammer's been getting more play already.
Good Democrat of Arizona. I'd like to hear more about your reaction to that
line from Marco Rubio today, Mike Johnson and some others, that this was essentially out of
our hands. And so then we just kind of fell in line as a matter of course.
I mean, I guess we're not a world power anymore. You know, for me, I mean, look, I was in some
pretty hard times during the war at a very young age.
Coalition of political forces of Iranian Kurdistan, as security forces in Iranian Kurdistan
to defect from the remnants of the Islamic Republic and as citizens in the region
to stay away from the military and security sites for your own safety.
I told you.
And it just drove me mad.
The fact that these guys just went to war on somebody else's word.
Nobody decided to say, hey, you know what, what is the best wishes of the men and women
of my country first?
Nobody decided to go to the end and be like, guess what?
Don't go to war.
If you go to war, we're not going to give you the intelligence.
We're not going to give you the support.
We're not going to give you the bombs, all these things
that you could have done.
Instead, you say, you know what?
We're going to go with you.
And then it really pisses me off to be honest.
Like, I'm not that young.
I remembered Netanyahu coming to testify in Congress
and advocating for us to invade Iraq,
saying it was going to be a great result for the Middle
East.
So guess what?
I'm seeing it again now, again.
And again, men and women, young men and women,
young American men and women are dying
because of these idiots, right?
These idiots that are just willing to sacrifice
US men, US women without any real thought
about what they're doing and what the consequences
they're going to bring to these families.
I feel like I'm repeating what I saw 20 years ago.
I just don't really know what else to tell you.
never mind they're still doing this dog shit country leaders doing they're
following Netanyahu who has literally told us he just like told on to that
he's been trying to do this for 47 years never mind maybe we're maybe we're not
the first attempt at this in 2005 and now America is suffering again because
of it there's a lot of ways that we can be supportive of Israel there's a lot
of ways that we could defend Israel's you know existence is there's no
significant Kurdish faction that will go in Iran, PUKs with IRGC and KDPs explicitly
said they would never consider it. It's more probable to assume that SNA Turkish best back
brigade led by Abu Aum Shah, same mercenaries that have been used in Libyan later, killings
of Druze, Alawites and Kurds. Turkey has already mentioned for weeks that they're preparing
to move in if Iran is destabilized. Yeah, I think so too. No, I think they're gonna,
they are going to, I think they're going to, there are Kurdish militias both inside
of Iran that they'll activate. And there are Kurdish militias in Iraq that they will send
in. And then once there is like destabilization, they'll send in the Turks. They'll send in
the Turks to fucking create a like a border area or something.
That's what I think is going to happen.
There's no significant quarter fraction that will go in in Iran, PKs, IRGC.
I think they will try to do their best and then,
Hiya, what's up?
Hello lady.
IRGC and Iranian army won't be pushovers though.
Dude, what are you talking about?
They're going to have unlimited aerial support
from America and Israel.
They're just going to fucking strike anyone and everyone.
That's not just like a regular militia at that point.
They'll be utilizing the cars as like the popular forces on the ground.
Uh-uh.
Come here.
Hiya.
Place.
Uh-uh.
No.
Place.
Remember when you were in a good mood a couple of days ago, let that fuel you?
is hard. I'm not so sure it will play out easily I think. I mean we'll see but the only
way that this the only way that like regime collapse completely happens is if there is
actually a lot of real instability on the ground so far any so far all the anti
so far all the anti-government groups have not really said much there have been some
Um, uh, there have been some instances where people have celebrated the, I told his death,
but like they're not doing mass mobilization. They're not trying to do like acts of terror.
You know, senior Washington, ABC poster reporter posted about you, the Sampak is popular to
stream will likely be a must over 20, 20, eight years watching Dems try to figure out
how to approach that will be something Tom Steyer live on a Sampak extreme says he
He was wrong the campaign against single player in 2021 pressed by Piker Steyer, billionaire
running for governor in California says the opposed billionaire tax due to specific issues
but backs a higher tax on the wealthy.
There would need to be a force of 3 million plus to take over Iran is never going to
happen.
Brother, what are you talking about?
It's not about, it's not about taking over.
It's not about taking over Iran.
It's about causing chaos.
Iran is not going to be Kurdistan, okay?
That's not the goal here.
The goal is not even to implement a different regime and keep Iran as a country intact.
I also want to know where we go from here with the home with what Donald Trump said
he was going to do. Yeah. They're trying to pull a Benghazi.
You got posted on pop base. Hell yeah.
Is Trump going to go live or not?
Cause I'm tired.
I'm I'm freaking eight hours deep
You know what I'm gonna end it here
Yep
All right, that's all I got for tonight. I'm tired. I love you guys
And I will see you tomorrow, okay?
This week we have another guest.
Who do I have?
Oh, Shaiqah Chakrabarty on Wednesday.
He's going to be my guest on Wednesday.
I might have Cam Kasky as well to talk about this West Bank division.
and yeah and then this weekend I'm gonna be in Chicago to speak at North
Western University love you guys hopefully I'll be able to write a an
actual speech beforehand but as you know I'm fine with freestyling as well

A man-made whore reaction Brought to you by this life's dream
Cause there he is again The son is streaming
The sun is streaming, the sun is streaming
There he is again, the sun is streaming
The sun is streaming
Kicked out of the DNC, I relunched the good
Commed in the prompter, gambler, shut down people's throats
CBS is really news, a crew of regime falls
A full-blown fascist takeover and still the duty calls
Total radicalization coming out to sea
The system will always fail, it's up to you and me
All these daily streets, weather's short, or weather long
I've held millions of people, keep it moving right along
Cause there he is again, a son is streaming, a son is streaming
There he is again, a son is streaming, a son is streaming
But hey, what can you say, that's BDS for you
But he'll play games real soon. Just you wait.
Say, hey, what can you say? That's B.S. for you.
But he'll move on real soon. Just you wait.
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da da da da da.
Hey, what can you say? That's B.S. for you.
Well, pull your lungs real soon
Just you wait
Sha-da-da, sha-da-da, sha-da-da-da-da-da-da
What can you say? Hey, that's PBS for you
But he'll do jet-vies real soon
Just you wait
But hey, what can you say?
That's PBS for you
Brought on by viewers like you
