I really want is whether it's social media influencers are twitching YouTube like I'm
or other kind of promoters of hate.
We must always maintain revolutionary optimism.
We must always continue to organize.
We must always continue to agitate because the quicker we can create enough pressure
that causes the American state to re-calculate its suicide pact with Israel,
Israel, the clicker we can say as many Palestinian lives possible.
What's going on everybody? I hope everyone's having a fantastic evening afternoon pre-noon
no matter where you are in the world. I'm Sam Piker and this is Austin I brought
has come with you live from kind of gloomy, uh, Palo Alto, San Fran Cisco. This is Dr.
Jihad on stolen land as always. I hope all the boys, girls and MBS are having a fantastic
one because today's a beautiful day. Today's a wonderful day. Today is April Fool's Day.
right. It's the first day of April. It's Palo Alto is not San Francisco. We're monitoring the
situation. It's Wednesday, April 1st. My mic broke right as I started, right as I went live.
Isn't that beautiful? Isn't that perfect? Isn't that just darling? But yeah, NorCal Haasie.
The NorCal Haasie in the building, NorCal Haasie for life, and obviously it's a big day.
There's a lot going on.
Bay Area, frogs rise up.
Bay Area Haasie has rise up, Haas and Abbey has rise up.
This is the heart of the most pressing issue in American politics, obviously, Nimbism versus
Yimbism.
I'm here to identify which side I'm on.
I believe it's a far more consequential sectarian fight, far more polarizing than the Sunnisheya
split, the Protestant Catholic split.
This is a real split.
anything else we've ever experienced, only anything else we've ever seen. I'm going to
figure out what, you know, I'm going to figure out what I'm identifying as, you know, am
I a yinbi, am I a nimbi? Because it's very, very consequential. It's very important that
I, that I figure that shit out because otherwise it's, you know, otherwise I cannot identify
with San Francisco politics, you made me seem person for asking if you're doing an IRL
stream as a fiscal just wanted you to experience muni transit. Okay. All right. Well, the Sompiker
is a corrupt douche payment of dollars and it'll endorse anyone above all, above all else.
He wants dollars and privilege for himself. Also, some of his comments are legit anti-Semitic
not going to license San Francisco progressives. I can't imagine any progressive group bashing
us on a friend of the movement with aligned politics. That means clearly rooted in values
and does not endorse anyone for money. Don't get us wrong. It's not anti-Semitic to be
uh... zonnie zonnie's but conju's in britain smithing's on park does that all
the time on top of these pay-to-play corrupt use
put this on his tombstone this guy says
you know there are definitely a lot of san francisco uh...
you know uh... political actors who are are very mad at me for my short cut
uh... commentary and my uncompromising views on
uh... uncompromising views on on uh... why i think short cut is is a
phenomenal phenomenal house candidate
uh... and we can't lose that seat the scott wiener who will literally occupied
for the next fifty fucking years if he wins okay
but uh...
in any case uh... ladies and gentlemen boys girls and ambies were live or
alive and i hope everyone's having a fantastic one
uh... i am going to
uh... i'm gonna be speaking at uh...
stanford university later today
And very excited about that.
Got a playlist here.
Thank you yesterday's discourse literally made me sign up
and volunteer for Shoikat.
Good.
He needs it.
Anyway, but there's a lot going on in the world.
We're going to get into it.
We're going to get into all of it.
We're going to talk about it all.
And more.
Are you going to watch Artemis launch?
Sure.
Mike is pretty buzzy, my guy.
Is it?
Is it?
Is it actually?
or are people exaggerating? Yes? No. Megaphonics is an audio perv and he says no, so I don't think it's that bad.
Can you plug the mic in? Father, please, there's a buzz on every word you say.
I'm going to unplug the mic for a second and I'm going to re-plug it in a moment because I need to figure something out.
Um, because I need to like, I don't have, I can't hold this mic up the entire time. Um, when you talk it buzzes. Yeah. Okay. That's minor buzzing. It happens. Buzz, buzz, buzz.
Uh, but yeah, personal news wise, I ended the broadcast last night, went to sleep, hung out with the family, went to sleep, uh, woke up super early in the morning.
Uh, woke up super early in the morning. The buzzing.
No, there are buzz bad, bro. No lie. Okay. Someone link me the fucking clip. Someone link me a clip.
Box played here. It doesn't change the dynamic in context. Oh hell yeah
Comical collapse of third way. What a way for an organization to go out. Yeah, it's really funny
Uh, I know third way is up my ass Jewish insiders still up my ass. They've done yet another article
I don't want to talk about it too much because it's like at this point it's over, right?
um, but um
It's, it's a, it's a done deal. These guys are, are, they just got no emotion whatsoever.
Uh, Kate Willett says, uh, nothing is, it's not love is work, but it's weird how all left
media is ignoring kind of chance. She's pulling within a margin of error of Psycott at Shroy
caught and nearly all the local progressive endorsements because I like them and believe
in him in regards to his previous donations. He's been there since the beginning with
justice Democrats. AOC played a role in the development of the green new deal and has
one of the most radical agendas out of all the candidates I work with this cycle. I totally
respect the right sport, but I think it's anyone's race at this point. Nobody has a
meaningful lead, except maybe Wiener, who is pure evil. Yeah, we agree on that, by the way.
You were right about her intentions, too.
Oh, about Mallory McMorough.
yeah let's see let's hear this buzz no there are buzz bad bro no lie okay someone
like me the fucking clip someone like me a clip box played your it oh it's like
barely it's you can barely hear it dude y'all are crazy
you
I don't know what to do here Connie chain is actually an offer can it know she's not this is like I mean she's just not as good a showy caught okay she's she is a typical she's a typical person
Um, yeah, I don't know what to do here. Uh, Connie Chan is actually an offer candidate. No, she's not. This is like, I mean, she's just not as good as shoycott. Okay.
Uh, she's, she is a typical, she's a typical person who's like running for the moderate progressive land. That's it. She's like a McMorro type, but she absolutely does have a lot more, um, like left adjacent and left institutions in San Francisco,
go, basically felt like there wasn't a candidate for them because they don't trust Shoecott.
And that's the reason why they, like, obviously that's the reason why they put up Connie Chan.
The reality is like Shoecott needs to get into the top two against Wiener because like
California has a unique top two primary structure, and then he can cook Wiener from that point
on. But you know, why does Wiener have a lead because he has all the institutional backing?
That's it. Anyway, yes, there's a new third-way mailer. I'm going to cover all of that.
I've given up on trying to keep the mic on the mic stand. It's totally fucking cooked.
I need to get like March in here to pick this up and maybe take it downstairs and like try
to get it screwed in again like I did before. Oh yeah, with the compressor turned off, it's
barely noticeable, but you sound worse too. Wait, did my audio change at all? Anyway, listen, listen,
Listen, where was I, where was I, where was I?
Hold on, I'm gonna, I'm gonna take this off real quick.
I'm gonna take the mic off
and just like hold it in my hand one second.
Okay, I'll just stuff my finger in there.
I'm going to be using the microphone like this for a little bit, and then I'm going
to hopefully I'll be able to figure it out afterwards.
You literally sound fine.
I have professionals to do speakers. Yeah, um, I did see the Illinois nine stuff as well, which is not a surprise at all. Maybe one day we'll identify exactly what took place there. But we have, you know, we have the same problem with shoycott, even though he is, he has lived in San Francisco for quite a while. They still are calling him a fucking carpet bag or two, which is very annoying.
annoying. You know, it's like, it's another instance where like local progressives don't like the
candidate. And, and they're willing to fucking throw their, like throw the weight that they have
behind a what they've chosen is like a less progressive but still progressive candidate.
And, and, and that's it. Like that's that's literally what's going on. That's what's
happening and happen with like a cat as well. They have him with cat Abu Ghazali, obviously in
Illinois 9. It's just another, you know, instance of not having enough organization. And I understand
like, like the reality is, Shroycott is a far better national candidate. And when you're running
for House of Representatives is a national position. Okay. Shroycott has far more comprehensive
Agendas all you gotta do is take it to the front and and hold tell them to like push it in and then tighten that screw
That's it. That's what I did last time
Yeah
Yeah, they just have to like punch it in a little bit and then force it and then screw it and and then it'll be fine
Connie said she wouldn't abolish eyes among other things shortcut is the only viable candidate
Yeah, it's stuff like that. That's like so much worse and and I'll be honest
it's the resentment that people feel towards, what are you doing?
Oh, my microphone. Yeah, yeah. I don't know what happened. I don't know why it's a little buzzy.
It absolutely is like a sequence of like dark money funded, you know, tech bros that have dominated
San Francisco politics for quite a while. It's the NIMBY versus YIMBY divide, which I from what I
understand they a lot of the people are are a lot of the people are considering him to be
what do you call it a lot of people are considering to be like a yinbi oh it fixed it you fixed the
buzzing how did you do it what was it oh okay okay yeah
Well, you ordered a new XLR. Oh, like XLR cable. Okay. Nice. Okay. Why are the MBs fighting?
Not the MBs fighting. Anyway, but yeah, I am. Hold on. Scotis conversion band birthright.
Hold on. I got a I got a type. So I got to put this down for a second.
The buzz is gone folks. Good. Good. Skotis conversion ban. Birthright hearing. Epstein
fury. Day 32. Allies scared. Trump stated the union later. Dems mad at me. Stanford speech
later. Get in now. Okay.
It sucks that Trump's speech is literally wall.
I'm giving a speech in Stanford.
I'm going to be giving that speech in Stanford and instantly,
instantly go back to do the so-do, OK?
The NASA stream comments are so crazy.
I'm going to try to stop saying, I hope Iran doesn't
blow your rocket up.
What?
All right, do we have a blast off meme?
Oh, yeah, it's over here. Yeah. You need to ratchet or something like that. Glad you
caught it, though. That was that's good, because otherwise we've gone down for no reason.
Use the Artemis Lodge literally a blast off. Okay, okay, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold
Hold on. President Trump tells Steve Holland in a brief interview that he will express
his disgust at NATO at tonight's speech and that he's absolutely considering withdrawing
United States from NATO. We'll talk about that too, okay? We'll talk about that. We'll
talk about like the speculations as to what Donald Trump may or may not say on this speech
tonight, ladies and gentlemen. You know, that's, there's a lot happening. Okay. So,
Scooters is pretty much ACLU 1v9. Yeah, we'll see. Okay, we got it right here. Here's the blast off,
bro, get a mic stand. I will literally shove a mic stand in you. Okay, you understand? I will
shove a mic stand inside of you, you son of a bitch. You fucking, you son of a, shut
up, shut, shut up. How dare you? The mic stand just broke. We're fixing it. That's why I'm
holding the mic in my hand. Okay. Anyway, yeah, SCOTUS conversion ban, birthright hearings,
Epstein day, Epstein fury day 32 allies scared. Trump so to Dems, Mademoiselle, and for speech
later get it now. Obviously, there's a lot to talk about, but you know, I started the
conversation with like San Francisco politics for a brief moment. Have you considered holding
the mic in your hand? I'm going to hold you in my hand and crush you with my hand. Have
you experienced your copy yet? Yes.
Um, anyway, Kyle wants politicians to defend you on the merits. Yeah, I heard this. I heard
Kyle is like mad. Kyle is mad that like politicians don't also like defend the merits of the conversation
as well. I think politicians should at the very least they could say like, you know,
This is the same old bullshit, canard.
This shows a bigger liability for Democratic politicians
than a Hassan Piker stream.
Oh yeah, 100%, I mean, of course.
Barrest at the limp dick nature of the defenses of Hassan?
Cause there's a lot of people who are out there going like,
oh, well I thought we believed in free speech
and we believed in dialogue with everybody.
And this seems very anti free speech to try to cancel him
and we should be able to talk to him
even though I disagree with them on a lot of things.
No, we need to take these smears head fucking on.
It's absolute fucking horse shit that he's anti-Semitic.
It's horse shit.
Somebody posted the other day,
it was a 30 minute compilation of Hasan repeatedly
separating out anti-Zionism from anti-Semitism
and saying anti-Zionism is the way we go.
Anti-Semitism is stupid and dumb and wrong and bad
and Nick Fuentes is a fucking Nazi.
He blames all Jews.
That's fucked up.
wrong 30-minute compilation of that and the best we get in terms of defending
this on is oh well on free speech grounds I guess I might talk to no fuck
that defend him on the fucking substance but maybe I'm you know I'm in the media
so it's a little bit different from people who are running for office but
yeah I mean I get it I get it I think politicians like they don't want the
potential liability of like me saying something crazy tomorrow you know what
I mean, or basically, they're worried that it's easy to disparage
someone who speaks for 10 hours every day, right?
It's super easy to disparage someone who speaks for 10 hours every day.
So ultimately, it's going to be hard to just actively
defend clips out of context when you don't know what the context is, right?
Obviously, my friends in the media, they understand the context.
They know what I'm about.
Um, uh, they're, they're a lot more in tune with like how media narratives work,
right? Um, and that's why, you know, Kyle is saying what he's saying.
Walter Massen is saying what he's saying.
Uh, it's just like the expectations obviously a little different from like,
you know, Bernie Sanders, for example, he's not sitting there watching the
stream for fucking eight hours. He hears the quote. He might be considered. He might find it to be like
indefensible, right? Even if there's obviously additional context to it. So the, you know, I'm happy
with the way that like these guys are coming out. But I do think like there are certain instances where
they could just be like, Listen, guys, you call everybody. You call everybody. Everybody a fucking
And what is this?
Obdual SAH security chief resigns says the candidate is unfit for Senate.
Anti-Semitism is now hidden behind calculator rhetoric.
The member of the staff that leaked the recording of Obdual is a Destiny and Vosh
fan campaigns, vet your people.
If they're fans of Destiny, you got to fire them immediately.
Wait, what?
Isn't he like some fucking jarhead Marine guy?
What do you mean is a destiny fan?
What the fuck?
That's got to be a meme, right? Oh, John Kiriakou came to my defense.
Titans. Thanks for the 10 bucks. What do we both think about the coordinated smear campaign
against Hassan Piker for so-called anti-Semitism by moderate dims like Alyssa Slotkin. Meanwhile,
she goes on Islamophobic Bill Maher's show.
Yeah, I sympathized with Hasan Piker.
I really do.
You know, I've been told that I'm in a feud with Hasan Piker.
I'm not in any feud with Hasan Piker.
I've never met the man.
I've never spoken to the man.
There were rumors that he had invited me onto a show and I declined.
That is absolutely not true.
I've not been invited onto a show.
Because I had never heard of him in all of a sudden. Yes, we have yet. Oh my god. What is going on?
Am I talking to John Kuriako or or someone else behind the scenes like it's so, you know, we're supposed to be in this feud
I decided to do a little bit of research and I sympathize sympathize with the guy
um, I
Think he's being treated unfairly by the Democratic establishment
I think that this is exactly what the Democratic establishment plan is to try to discredit people on the left
and to try to discredit people who express sympathy for Palestinian human rights. This
is exact.
Why can't Republicans get away with everything but progressive can't even shake your hand.
They can and they do. It's just like I said, it is totally, totally a media operation.
Okay. And it is entirely come on, bro. It's not regularly boost terrorist organizations
Hisbola Hamas Houthis should Democrats accept this into the big tent? Wait, this is the guy
This was his security guy
This is this was his like former security guy that leaked it to the fucking right-wing newspaper. Oh
My god, that's that's unbelievable dude. That is crazy here. I
I, I, uh, but representative Josh Godheimer, he's quote retweeting representative Josh
Godheimer, BJJ Brownbelt, pro liberals and anti-DSA, Democrat field organizer, rugged
individual.
Check his following Joe Walsh, Godheimer, Saliza, Donnie, that's fine.
What? Searchlight Institute? Oh my god. This is like a fairly sophisticated operation,
dude. Gabby Deusch? Elizabeth Warren? Click the search bar and type in tons of tweets
on this. What the hell? This is his... This is the US Marine Corps Combat Veteran who
who was Abdul El Sayed's personal security,
he's the one who leaked the comms team conversation
to Washington Free Beacon, right?
He's the one who did that.
That's unbelievable that he was just like
a fucking crazy hater and a crazy like,
what is this?
Stu Smith. No, but this is not, I don't know why this came up. Come on, bro. Honestly,
yes, he should. In fact, the next time a song glazes the terrorist organization attacks
better as promos, CCP or whatever insane take, I'll do should be standing right next
to him. Believe them when they tell you who they are. G-teams, blood in the trees, left
us like a son are constantly hoping for political violence. I think a son is on this one. He
has been trying to back out though. If true, can we acknowledge how sneaky it is to invite
speakers without mentioning the song the main guest is also going to be there the
camping the camping knows how bad this idea was as it was discussed many times
the only veteran on both your campaigns has some questions before I resigned I
had to ask another staff member of the portrait and it was due to my work as a
global war on Tara veteran you can't be pals of the song and recently told the
vet to enjoy PTSD and they claim to care about this way what the fuck
What the fuck? This guy is crazy.
This is a crazy fucking guy to have as your head of security.
This gotta be paid, right?
I don't think this is an op situation where it's like,
this has to be like a guy who specifically wanted to get in on this campaign.
So he could potentially, so he could potentially fuck it up, right? Like to do
what exactly what he's doing, right?
What is going on, man? This guy who was Abdul El Sayed, no, no, no, put it here,
put it here, because it's too far. Yeah, yeah, it's fine, that's where I had it.
The the head of security so dr. Abdul al-sayed's like comms team conversation
After like how they were gonna respond to like the Iran war
Leaked and and it didn't oh shit. Are you okay? It didn't leak necessarily like someone literally
gained access to the combo and
and
Delivered it to the Washington free beacon, which is like a right wing outlet, right? The leak itself. Yeah
Yeah, yeah, the leak itself was was totally inconsequential and it actually made him look good
It didn't make him look bad at all, but
But it's it's
Incredible that like the guy who was responsible for it
the he gave a
He gave a
He gave an interview to some fucking dude as well
And now they're doing like another coordinated attack on him
Abdullasir Scrooge, he resigned, says Canada's unfit for Senate.
Anti-Semites have not hidden behind calculated rhetoric.
By the way, Michael from PA is talking out of his ass.
This dude resigned in January because he's rapidly pro-Israel.
We have no idea if he's the one who leaked anything.
The call got leaked after he left.
Don't believe everything you read online.
We still don't know.
Michael from Pennsylvania doesn't know everything.
But he might be right on this, is all I'm going to say.
okay
just come here just cool your fucking jets
before you know you you uh... lean into the mic is wrong shit
uh...
bro shut the fuck up
and look into uh... it before saying shit like that no i
Anyway
In any case
Michael from Pennsylvania Michael from Taiwan
What is this
Cuz on piger now giving comment when the campaign doesn't so glad I resigned from this clown show like this guy fucking is
Obsessed he's like a Israel obsessed guy. I think
Um, I don't know about him being a destiny fan or whatever, but he is very clearly like obsessed with Israel. And, and it actually does raise, it does raise some concern that you got, I mean, this looks like an infiltrator at this point, right?
It's very interesting.
Just saying this loser resigned months before that, it's possible someone else leaked it.
Well, sometimes people who were previously privy to campaign comms, especially when they're
like, you know, in as intimate of a position as like security might have access even after
they resign.
Here he is replying to destiny.
This is a deleted pose.
Phantic is closer to black nationalism than rational thoughts.
I'd pass on this guy, who the fuck is Phantic?
I mean he's like deep in the cut it seems, from way back in the day.
I know that security staffer is fucking insane, I have no idea how he's on the staff, I always
thought he was a risk, I'm potentially an infiltrator.
Yeah, he gives the vibes of a guy who thinks he'll get recruited by the CIA and Masada if he acts self-important enough
I mean he might have been
He's replying to D's Twitter talking about past Vosh debates. He's 100% a fan. Yeah
That's crazy. That's pretty fucking crazy
Wow, all right, so
Yeah, I'll do all sides comms leaks
or is released by a disgruntled former employee, this guy, right? And after that, you know,
he's going on the media, people are like saying, oh, you love Ayatollah Ali Hamanay,
whatever, right? He did a Fox interview. We'll obviously look at that as well. I think he had
a pretty good line in there that the Republicans got really mad at, but I think we'll play really
well with the, with the Democrats. Cause remember, this is a democratic primary, uh,
where, where they try to pin him down on this, like, uh, don't you think Iran would be better
off without the Ayatollahs? Like, aren't they so radical? And he has a bar and he just like,
UNO reverses it so well. And let's take a look.
The battle is shaping up in Michigan and Michigan democratic Senate candidate taking
heat over some leaked audio. Uh, this happened right after the killing of Iran supreme leader
about a month ago, here's in part what he told his staff.
I also want to remind you guys that there are a lot of people
in Dearborn who are sad today.
I just don't want to comment on the money committee at all.
I don't think it's worth even touching that.
Okay, that candidate is Abdul Al Said.
He wants to be a senator from Michigan.
He's my guest now.
And sir, good morning to you.
Thanks for coming on here.
i want to give you a chance to hear you out uh... but you know what iran has
done for almost fifty years
uh... what why did the comment come off that way with your staff sir
look i tell you this we're in the midst of war we don't need to be fighting
it's illegal it's a moral
to our tax dollars to raise our gas prices from uh...
maga backed
movement that told us that they would never get us into another foreign
entanglement
and here we are and i just want to remind you that
most people in the city dearborn and dearborn heights are not ever american
they are white
and they're worried just like i am there sat in by the fact that their tax prices
go
up and they are watching their gas prices go up with it
all to fight a war that we should really be a part of it i appreciate the fact
that you're against the war i understand that but there are more people in
michigan that are going to side your faith politically
uh... who don't live in dearborn michigan would you accept that
and and would you also accept the idea that
Some Arab Americans and Dearborn may see the downfall of this regime as a good thing.
Bill, I'll tell you this.
There are many people who see the downfall of the regime as a good thing, but the question
of whether or not it was pursued legally, that's a different question.
Whether or not it's worth $31 billion of our taxes and counting, a billion dollars a day,
that's another thing.
Whether or not we should be paying.
Yeah, he's he's running for Senate. He's not gonna say like it's a that's a as a Muslim man
especially who's currently being tagged as a as a sympathizer. He has to play a very delicate tight
rope. Don't be fucking ridiculous. He's not gonna fucking be like, Oh, dude, I love like first of
all, he shouldn't ever say that regardless. You should never say like, Oh, I love the
I told obviously, if he ever wants to fucking hold office of any sort in the United States
of America, but like he's, he's saying the right thing. Like my, my statement in a situation
like this, if I was asked about it would be, it's not up to us. It should be up to the
Iranian population. And there has never been a singular instance where an American bombing
campaign or there's never really been an instance where an aerial bombing campaign has ever
actually successfully let the regime change. But there's also never been an instance where
American military intervention has left the country better off, right? Since World War
II, we have not had a singular W, okay? It's costly for the taxpayers. It's unbelievably
deadly and destabilizing for the people that are living under these bombing campaigns.
And on top of that, it's a gross mismanagement of our productive forces, our productive output.
single dollar that we spend on those bombs blowing up schools could have been a dollar
that we spent on our schools in our neighborhoods, right?
It's immoral.
It's morally repugnant.
And a lot of people that watch this show on Fox News believed in Donald Trump's message
when he said, we're no longer going to get into foreign entanglements, no more silly
unnecessary wars of choice.
We're not doing that.
guess what
we are doing that now and we're doing that at the behest of israel another
foreign country
has taken up a good deal of our attention and a good deal of our tax
dollars
uh... all the same
it's a spectacular failure
and that's the real conversation here
not some leaked audio
you're meeting the security leaker guy for the first time
i i do but
thank you was a person for your nice to me
Wait, that's the guy? I met him?
So while I was meeting his ass, he was like, oh, I'm going to fuck this guy up one day.
Oh, my God. Why is it always like this?
Why is it always like this?
Why are people always so fucking friendly in person?
But they're like seething deep down inside fake demon, dude.
And this is a Marine Corps veteran, he could probably whoop my ass, he's a BJJ guy.
I mean, I don't know if he's the guy, anyway, listen to me.
Higher rates at the pump every single time we try to just get where we're going and pump
gas, a dollar more on average across this country.
We're up over four bucks across the country now, 30% in Michigan alone.
Whether or not those things are good things, that's a big question.
And I'll tell you what, there are a lot of people who are really sad about the fact that
they thought that the era of foreign wars, of never ending regime change wars were over,
and here we are.
Now, ask yourself whether or not any of this is making you more likely to be able to afford
your home.
Whether it's making you more likely to be able to live your life, whether your kids
are going to better schools, or whether or not you can see a doctor without having to
worry about whether or not you're gonna fall into debt.
Those are questions that Michiganders across the board, Arab, not Arab, in Dearborn, outside
and newborn are asking every single day and that those are questions that this administration
is not answering.
And that's why we have elections.
Just one more question on this.
Would it not be better for the people of Iran, the Arab world and the people of America,
frankly, would we all not be better off if the radicals in Iran did not make the decisions
for the people of Iran in that region?
Like this question itself is also so entitled, you know, like, why do we get to decide this?
Right?
Like, what do you mean?
What do you mean?
Like, how do we get to make this decision for other people?
It's so ridiculous.
Like we need to do away with this notion that we are the world police.
We have never actually, this is a lie that we've told ourselves to make it seem like
American intervention is a moral act when it's not it's just for you know rich
Petroleum company owners, right? It's it's for the super wealthy. It's not for the regular ordinary Americans
Regular ordinary Americans go out and fight these wars and they get fucked up in the process, right?
They don't see any of the benefits of it either. It's just for the super super wealthy and
It's it's
Conducted with our tax dollars to like that's where all of our productive output is going to it's
It's unbelievable, right?
And then on top of that, we have this sense of entitlement
that we are going to decide what other countries,
how other countries are ruled.
And it's also an inconsistent standard.
It's one that we'd never apply to our allies, right?
You don't apply this to Saudi Arabia.
You don't apply it as the Bahrain.
You don't apply it as a clutter.
You don't apply this to any other country
that is aligned with the United States of America.
We only decide our foreign adversaries
of a government that we don't like.
at the end of the day i agree with you radicalism of any sort is bad which is
why this is what i do forty thousand people and i don't know what they did it
or
no they fucking didn't you're a god damn idiot if you think that okay
you're a fucking moron i'm sorry
they did not kill forty thousand people dumbass they did kill a shit ton of
people in the process of of
uh... suppressing the the uh... protest that that took place
which by the way
america israel openly admitted they played a role in
Okay, but they did not kill 40,000 people in two days like you're you're unbelievably dense
You have convinced yourself. It doesn't even it doesn't even matter like them killing 10 people is still fucked up
Okay
I've never heard a consistent number on this from people that just turn around and say oh they killed, you know
80,000 people I've heard 80,000 50,000 40,000 it's fucking ridiculous shut up
Jesus Christ, how do you not recognize that?
It's like this is propaganda to actually justify American and Israeli intervention.
That's what you're leaning into.
My lifetime, and I'm only 41, is so ridiculous because that kind of radicalism, that idea
that we should just rattle our sabers and go to war with anybody.
That's an open question.
Meanwhile, you've got the Saudis, you've got the Qataris who are buying the Trump administration
a jet that he plans to take after he's done with the presidency.
Those are all radical regimes too, and we're not going to war with them.
To me, the question of whether or not we go to war ought to be a question of whether or
not it's in the best interest of our government, of our people, whether or not it actually
makes our lives better.
And I think the answer to this question is already no when it comes to Iran, but it hasn't
been when it came to Iraq.
We may be out of this war at nine o'clock tonight in prime time.
We'll see about that.
We'll see what the president decides on that.
In the meantime, you're going to have an event about-
Its impact is still going to be felt around the world, okay?
And it's still being felt around the world.
being felt in America. It did not have to happen. We still spent upwards of 20, 30, 40 billion
dollars in both loss of assets that were evaporated in the process. That's all economic output
that went to something so unnecessary, okay? Waging war, and it was lost in the process.
13 soldiers died in the process
Hundreds more our casualties. We don't know how severe those the the the wound exactly are we don't know how severe
Their wounds actually look like
We killed a hundred and sixty little girls in a school. We killed 20
20 school children playing volleyball that was on the first day
And in the process we collapse the global energy market and you're over here being like well
I guess we can pull out tonight. What do you mean?
We're just not going to hold the administration accountable for these
Unjustifiable actions because they felt like it like what the fuck are you talking about?
Ridiculous right totally totally ridiculous
Not a week with a man by the name of son piker and this for the New York Times says
Abdul Al Sayed, Detroit Free Press, and then The Times, to campaign with controversial
streamer, Hasan Piker, Rowley, Spark, Backlash, and Michigan's Democratic Senate primary.
I assume that's going to, meetings going to take place.
And if it was on the, what, the 7th of April, I do believe, this is what he said about the
attacks on October 7th going back in parties at the following.
It doesn't even matter. None of this justifies that Palestinians have a right to dignity,
a right to emancipation, a right to live free lives, free from this occupation. It doesn't
matter. It doesn't matter if rapes happen on October 7. That doesn't change the dynamic
for me even this much.
I don't know why you're doing this event, but I know you're gonna explain it to me.
Just so our audience knows if they're not aware. At one point he said about 9-11, America
Conserved it. That's awesome that they they put like the context though. Why did they do that?
Do I have a do I have a secret agent inside of the Fox News editing team?
Like is one of the Fox News producers just like yeah for the first time ever. Let's just show like
Let's just show the full scope here
Right
That was right after October 7, too, if you guys recall.
I've been consistent on my principled stance on this, okay?
The violence on October 7 does not justify the violence that came after October 7, okay?
Nothing justifies the genocide.
It's that simple.
And that is a position that the overwhelming majority of Americans also believe in.
So the idea that this is like a, you know, far outtake or whatever, and the fucking moral
majority is ridiculous, okay?
Hey, later, walk that back and said it was inappropriate comment with no, I said that
I didn't use the best language when talking about this, but it's a concept called blowback,
which by the way, we're going to be talking about in a little bit, because I have some
unlikely allies in this, in this moment of indication, the godfather of the neocon movement
in the United States of America has openly come out as of yesterday, amidst everybody
fucking constantly complaining, constantly chirping back and forth about like, oh, he
He said this about 9-11, like trying to manufacture outrage for, you know, ridiculous reasons
and talk about my 9-11 comment and how unacceptable it is.
It turns out, it turns out there are unlikely allies all around us in places that we never
could have foreseen.
That's right.
I'm, of course, referencing the godfather of the neocon movement, Robert Kagan.
Okay?
I said this earlier the same week the Jewish insider and right-wing Democrats are trying to manufacture outreach around my 2019 quote on
9-11 the King neocon himself indicates the exact concept that was talking about blowback from Robert Kagan
Neocon godfather nothing to see here to be sure this is extraordinary
Even the threat of terrorism from the region was a consequence of American involvement not the reason for it had the United States not been deeply and
Consistently involved in the Muslim world since the 1940s
Islamic militants would have little interest attacking an indifferent nation
5,000 miles and two oceans away. Contrary to much mythology, they have hated us not
for so much because of who we are, but because of where we are. This
was literally what I was addressing when, oh my god, I'm literally, Dan Crenshaw, I
forgot his name for a second, that's how irrelevant he is, he lost his fucking
primary. When Dan Crenshaw was saying, no, they hate us because they ain't us, they
hate us because they're not us, they hate us because of our freedoms. I was saying, no,
this attitude is idiotic, it's wrong. We brought it upon ourselves with our interventions
in the region consistently.
In Iran's case, the United States is deeply involved in its politics from the 1950s until
the 1979 revolution, including as the main supporter of the brutal regime of Shah Mohammed
There is a Pahla V, the surest way of avoiding Islamist terrorist attacks would have been to get out.
This is a real, yeah.
This is a real, you know, ball-nower moment.
Okay.
The literal, the, literally the founder of the people who did this.
Yeah.
The New American Century Project for a New American Century Movement, like Bill
Bill Crystal and Robert Kagan, okay?
Bill Crystal is now woke on this shit, too.
Both of the godfathers of the American neocon movement, Bill Crystal now owns the bulwark,
okay?
And will regularly outflank many centrist Democrats on issues that pertain to ICE, on
issues that pertain to foreign entanglements.
It's unbelievable what is happening.
This is, if someone were to tell me that the architects of so much death and destruction
in this region would come out and agree with statements that I have made, openly recognize
maybe their own involvement, their own personal involvement and like the lies that they peddled
in an effort to continue doing military intervention in the region, you know, 20, 26 years after
the fact or 24, 25 years after the fact, I'd be like, you're out of your mind. Okay. You're
out of your dang mind. Now, this isn't to say that like Bill Crystal himself is like super
woke or whatever, or the Bull works output is like overall good. They still have plenty
of issues. They're attacking track APAC, for example, nonstop. The Bull work, people were
calling you anti-Semitic yesterday. Yeah, Tim Miller has been in the trenches defending
me though, weirdly enough, saying this is like totally ridiculous.
It's getting there now, okay, where, you know, even if they say shit like, oh, Hassan is,
you know, he has edgy takes or whatever that I don't agree with, like, it's gotten to a
point where it's so unbelievably deranged that Dave Weigel said something about it.
He said, reading the Jewish Insider newsletter, wonder if we're reaching Hassan Derangement
syndrome. Ossoff could suffer by not responding to questions about how Hassan likes him as a candidate.
It's fucking ridiculous because I said John Ossoff is my dark horse pick, right?
If you guys remember and and Jewish Insider tried to do a rat fucking operation.
They went to like everyone in the Ossoff orbit and were like, what do you think about Hassan endorsing you for president?
And of course John Ossoff is smart enough not to fucking eat that bait and he was like he didn't respond.
Piker in the interview called Ossoff my dark horse pick depending on how he presents himself via his ambitions for higher office
But Ossoff a Jewish senator who is facing a tough reelection and state president Donald Trump carried twice
Returned pikers affections his team has been unresponsive about his views on piker even as some leading Democrats have spoken out against the influencer
He kept their distance multiple spokespeople for Ossoff didn't respond to several inquiries this week from Jewish insider
Ossoff silence about piker could strain his already rocky relationship with Georgia's Jewish community key Jewish leaders and donors repeatedly express outrage
with the senator over his votes in favor of resolution to block US arms sales to Israel.
That was ironically the reason why I said,
John Alsop is actually an interesting candidate, okay?
Because he came out out of nowhere before anybody else and was like,
yeah, we should block weapons to Israel. It's ridiculous.
And then the Georgia Jewish community, not the actual Georgian Jews, right?
Not like the Jews in Georgia, but the Georgia Jewish community
And all of the you know the the advocacy groups and whatnot got together and once again did the same thing that they always do which is like to
Present Jews as a monolithic force that's primarily invested in fucking Israel
And it's so goddamn annoying that they keep doing this over and over again because it foments anti-Semitism. It's unbelievably anti-Semitic
Like go poll
Go poll Jewish people anywhere around the anywhere around the country and you're gonna hear a million different opinions on Israel
Okay, I hate this shit
But if you look at all of the Jewish institutions that very clearly
All of the Jewish institutions are very clearly are primarily first and foremost the invested in defending
The nation state of Israel and its territorial ambitions
They all universally present American Jews as this like organized monolithic Jewry that is
The singularly focused on the issue of Israel. It's unbelievably anti-Semitic
Okay, it's fucking ridiculous and
People like Jonathan Greenblatt heavily lean into this and they heavily fucking foment anti-Semitic
conspiracies with this wrong and dangerous conflation and
Jewish insider also leans into it as well
It's so ridiculous, okay? This is not about John Ossoff's other statements,
Chatters. Calm the fuck down. This is not your opportunity to talk to me about how you despise
John Ossoff, and I shouldn't ever say anything about John Ossoff, okay? So please, shut the fuck
up. It's not the time. Now is not the moment, okay? Please, for one moment in your life,
If... Demons should have the capacity to be able to fucking read the room, okay?
I know you are oblivious to reading any fucking rooms, okay?
I know. I know that being able to read the room is actually, you know, immoral and counter-revolutionary and bourgeois activity, okay?
I know. But please, for the love of Christ and all things holy, shut the fuck up for a second and lock in, okay?
We're talking about something entirely different
Also sounds about piker is is obviously because he's not entertaining this fucking idiotic game because he's you know smart enough
Not to he's like why the fuck would I present myself if I have ambitions of higher office
What the fuck would I present myself as like sympathetic to Israel of a lost cause a dead cause a dead weight
The fact that you are saying you support a Jewish candidate is important to repeat the idea that you have animus
I mean, it's not even that's not the reason why I said it the reason why I said it is because I think awesome
It's an interesting candidate because of what he has done in the past even though he obviously
capitulated after all of these
These Jewish advocacy groups that are literally just Israel advocacy groups yelled at him took out as in the fucking newspaper
And then he backed away from that position, which was the right position. It was the righteous position
It was the honest position and it was the correct position and it will literally help him win favors in the future
It will show that he is like a real one at least on this issue later down the line
Anyway, pro-Israel groups rap fucking Jewish candidates first Bernie now John they'd rather
see a Christian Zionist candidate with the Jewish anti Zionist or even a liberals Zionist
candidate yeah I know they just don't give a shit they don't give a shit about Judaism
they don't give a shit about anti-Semites we just want to like literally yell at anyone
and everyone that has ever been critical of Israel.
So anyway, Josh Krauscher goes after Dave Weigel. I don't know. I think if it's legit
for political to ask where 2028, Dem, press candidates, Nana Piker is worth asking a Dem
center who Piker praised actually thinks of him.
I guess this reminds me of Andrew Gill. I'm trying to make an issue out of racist commentators
who like Ron DeSantis and getting nowhere. The getting nowhere may be a result of where
the Dems are on someone who's trafficked an anti-Semitic bigotry and claims that Americans
are 9 11. If so, that itself is notable in my honest opinion. We've reported on the rising
It's semester on the left and right without fear or favor
We let anyone else figure out what's newsworthy or not clearly there are many Dems that do think is an issue about it as we another MSM
Outlets have already covered. No, it's not
It's it's not it's not going to move the needle in any way shape or form. It is absolutely
It is absolutely Jewish insider operating at the behest of like a couple big donors or a couple influential figures who have like a vendetta against me
I this is pure speculation. I assume I
was successful in changing the minds of like some massive donors, you know,
nieces or nephews or son or daughter, and now they've lost their fucking minds and
they're like literally spam-calling people to be like, do something about this,
okay? That's in many instances, that's how this works, by the way. I know that,
like, I know that you might think that there's like a real movement or a real
momentum, but sometimes that's all it takes. Like one big donor who's like
Superpro Israel will turn around and be like a fucking hate this guy. He made my daughter an anti-zionist
He made my daughter woke and now she doesn't fuck with Israel. We have to take him out
Okay
It's same with like greenblatt, that's what it is
Anyway again pure speculation, but I suspect that that's where a lot of this animus comes from right
Anyway, it's it's idiotic. No one believes it. No one gives shit. Let's see what I just said.
He said that what Hamas did is the lesser of two evils. Why saddle up with that individual?
No, Bill, at the end of the day, I don't go on any show where I agree with everybody. You and I
clearly disagree on a number of things, including the war in Iran. To me, it's about speaking to a
broader audience. I'm on this show right now because I'm wanting to speak to the broader
audience who are getting a bum deal because of this war. And I'm wanting to speak with
Hassan's audience too. So just because you invite somebody to campaign with you or you're
engaged with them does not mean that you agree with them. Famously, the president had dinner
with a known neo-Nazi among many, many others. This is about being able to bring people back
into.
Okay, that's crazy. Don't like that. Don't like being compared to a neo-Nazi. Come on,
Abdul. Jesus Christ.
Every day 30,000 people and counting tune in to us on stream a lot of folks who don't watch Fox News
They don't watch CNN. They don't watch MSNBC
They feel locked out of our politics by politics that is more focused on
But the question yes, it's an active decision to reach out to people who feel locked out of their politics to have a conversation
Just like I'm making an active decision as somebody who's running in a Democratic primary to have a conversation on Fox News
We're famously many I appreciate you coming here. I just want to squeeze this in because we're pressed on time the spring court
You have two other Senate candidates. The primary is not until August
It appears to me that the lane you're you're picking is the far left progressive lane because you believe that is the only
Chance of winning does that sell in Michigan a battleground? Yeah, Bill. I'll tell you I don't believe in left and right
I believe in the people who are locked out and the people who are doing the locking out
I'll always be on the side of the people who are locked out. They deserve a politics
That's not corrupted by corporations of politics where you put money back in your pocket and we finally guarantee health care through Medicare for all
That's not a left idea. That is an idea for people against the corporations who've dominated a government for very
Thanks for your time Abdul El Sayed is all right. Anyway, pretty good overall
I don't think most Fox News would make that connection to compare you to the Trump neo-nazi
No, I mean look, he's trying to say that like, you know, Donald Trump is wind and diamond like far worse figures, right?
but
the point is
The point is that this is like totally silly. They're trying to like, you know, quote mine to the best of their ability and and
and actively
Actively try to get a candidate to look like they're inconsistent, right? That's it
You got to stand on your principles be like this is what I believe
Ask me about my positions not about like the positions of a of a twist rumor that I'm aligning with because I'm very clear about why I'm doing this
right? There are things that I agree with them on. There are things that I'm going to disagree with
them on. It's, it's, you know, utterly immaterial in this, in the grand scheme of things, right?
And, and that's the appropriate way to just like, you know, push back. And, and you can also
obviously tack on the, the, the, you know, the, the much broader message that it's like kind of
ridiculous to try to play these sorts of gotcha moments at a time when like the, the energy
markets are on fire at a time when like the president has gone back on some of his key
campaign promises and there are a lot of people who are feeling dissatisfied with the way
things are going. An affordability crisis that has only gotten worse, right? Everyday
Americans are frustrated that we went to war alongside Israel for no real reason and this
is the supposedly peace president, right? So it's totally, totally ridiculous to just
like consistently have this conversation. It's ironic because like Rahm Emanuel was asked
about it by Dave Weigel apparently. You've spoken out on gender identity. He says like
a man can't become a woman, all this stuff. I asked, is the gender EO, but one of the
questions he asked Rahm Emanuel, other than like the, the transphobia that Rahm Emanuel
demonstrates was also might his take on me and Dems being asked about appearing with me.
He hasn't ruled out going on, and he sees it as a non-issue.
I think I stand with the people of America.
It's not front and center.
They don't care, and I don't care.
It's so funny that Rahm Emanuel has a better ability as a consequence of wanting to win
something.
Obviously, as Ambitions of Higher Office, has a better read on the situation than numerous
other Democrats and consultants who think this is actually a pretty solid way to drive
a wedge in the direction that favors them. It doesn't. Right? What is this? Why do you
lie about the government forcing you to stay at the hotel in Cuba? I don't understand how
you will comprehend that it is not a lie. Like, the American government has tremendous
restrictions on where you can stay in Cuba. Okay, there are four hotels you can stay in
fucking Cuba. It's just the truth. I don't know what to tell you. Okay, please go look it up.
Okay, the State Department and the Treasury Department literally has a list of four hotels
that you can stay in Cuba, out of thousands of hotels that exist in Cuba. Okay, it's all illegal.
And not only is it illegal, but if I stayed at a different hotel to the one that was designated,
which I didn't book for the record, you know, we had hundreds of people with us. And that was the
only hotel out of the four that could accommodate these people, okay?
And, and the State Department literally openly states that if you actually go and you stay in
any of the other hotels in Havana, you can go to prison for 10 years and pay a $250,000 fine.
Now you're an American citizen, that should frustrate you, right? I prefer Asmongold.
Nice. You're an American citizen. Do you feel like that's appropriate or do you feel like that's an
Insane restriction when you find out what this restriction actually looks like
If your first response is not to go what the fuck is that? That's so ridiculous
That's such an arbitrary restriction and instead you turn around and go Hasan must be lying. I
Mean you basically decided I would much rather delude myself
And and lean into the wrong thing instead of learn the truth and then make up my mind on whether it's appropriate or not
This is the type of thing that I cannot comprehend with a lot of people who decide no, I'm biased against you. I would rather just like believe a lie.
I would rather continue believing a fucking lie than to, you know, change my mind once I find out that the information is different than what I previously thought.
Anyway, I wish you were more picky with your chat fights, yeah.
So I mean, there's going to be another chat fight when we talk about AOC.
Remember if you recall yesterday, even before this DSA conversation took place where AOC
basically in order to secure national endorsement was asked to concede on certain things or to maybe
change her mind on the way that she's communicated about the distinction between defensive and
offensive weapons. AOC came out and let it be known and I told you that she would for the record
before she actually did it, right? If you recall yesterday I was talking about this and I was like
AOC is going to come out and say she doesn't see a distinction between defensive and offensive
weapons any longer. And she did. As I told you, trust the process. A multitude of factors are
at play here, obviously. One of them is that the environment has shifted dramatically.
Right
The environment has shifted dramatically that's a big part of it now everyone's gonna start crying of course
AOC is gonna get the same type of attacks that I get
And maybe even more ridiculous ones
So, you know, don't pay any mind to that, but I will tell you I am going to defend her
Because she did the right thing. She did a bold thing. Okay, it's not bold for us
It's honest and it's just but for a politician it is there are like what 10?
American politicians that are in line with this attitude
Okay
So if you try to hit a left flank criticism on this moment instead of offering support
To some of the gaOC
I'm gonna yell at you
Okay, I don't care
This is how you fucking move the needle
Okay? This is how you move the needle. So be smart. And a lot of you, unfortunately,
learned the wrong lesson from this. Okay? There is a lot of background comms that
took place to arrive at this decision. First, I'm going to explain to you what the
significance of the decision is because it's AOC. And secondly, I'm going to tell
you that your tweets are not the reason why it happened, okay? I'm just gonna let you know.
It's not because you fucking yell to her on the timeline. I know you want to think that.
I know you want to think that like your, your, the politicians are, are responsive because,
you know, we yell at them all the time and we call them AOCIA. That's not the reason, okay?
Just understand that.
So, if you want to think that, go ahead.
Your tweets are the reason, sure.
I mean, the pressure, the relentless pressure from the outside led to clearly resulting in
her position being unviable.
Sure, that's the reason, yes, you tweeted a lot and Anna Kasperian did too.
That's the reason why she did this, okay?
You guys did it.
Congratulations.
You are there.
You got motion.
It was a squirrel.
You did it.
You know keep up the good work, okay?
If you want to know the truth, that's not the reason but it doesn't fucking matter, right? It doesn't matter
If you want to feel like your tweets are praxis go right ahead. So
It's utterly irrelevant though what is relevant however is that AOC has a
nationally if not internationally relevant progressive figure in American politics has now
change the dynamic of who says there, you know, how people communicate that they
are anti-Zionist, how people communicate by basically expanding the
permission structure for a lot of other people. So play close attention to people
who had made this defensive and offensive weapons distinction, pay close
attention to who will continue with the, oh no we're gonna fund the Iron Dome, who
who who continues to say we're gonna fund the iron dome and who actually decides
to change their mind on the iron dome now that aOC's come out I can give you
two examples two of my candidates Abdullah Sayed and Shoykat Chakrabarti
before aOC even came out and and said she is saying no more weapons Israel
defensive and offensive before she made this the real new litmus test
Shoycott and Abdullah Sayed had also revealed that their position is all weapons, right?
They were not making that distinction.
So that's important.
That's important to remember.
AOC's commitment to not arming Israel at all during the New York City DSA forum will echo
across the Democratic Party.
She's considered a mainstream politician and serious contender for president.
Expect no money for military Israel aid, including defensive to be a common litmus test.
Yes.
That's why it's so significant.
unbelievably significant. Connie Chan, for example, wants to fund the Iron Dome, okay?
Abdul El Sayed's, the candidates that Abdul El Sayed's running against, both McMorrow and Stevens
want to either fund the Iron Dome or fund Israel entirely, like Stevens is totally
on board with continuing funds to Israel.
Okay. AOC then also released a formal statement to the New York Times confirming Peter Stern's
reporting from the DSA. Peter Stern is a former DSA member, probably one of the best as far as
like insider information on all the comings and goings of DSA. He's the state editor at
city and state new york
he says aoc released a formal statement of the new york times confirming my
reporting notably she praised the iron dome itself in the statement
but said the u.s. should not funded for more read my report i believe he's
really government is well able to fund the iron dome system which is proven
critical to keep innocent civilians safer markets and uh...
rocket tax and barman she said consistent with my voting record today i will
not support congress sending more tax dollars
and military aid to a government that consistently ignores international on
u.s. law
okay
but she did no she didn't she did not
she did not you are wrong a o c has never voted to fund
uh... israeli weapons we have this conversation yesterday she did
actively
she struck down she voted against a provision not the final bill a provision
that made no distinction between defensive and offensive weapons that was
a mistake she should have never done that
she also should have never actually advocated or or defended that position
okay
that was also wrong
but the final bill she never voted on she did not vote on it
you are wrong
in the past she is voted president but uh... but she is never voted sick to in
the in the affirmative to fund israel okay
she has never done that
alongside russia to leave an ill on our she is one of the best congress
persons far outflanking Bernie Sanders on this issue. That's always been the case.
The problem here is the comms. Okay? The problem is the comms.
Once again, this is not, I need you to understand, this is not me like trading access
for whatever, okay? I have never led you astray. I tell you very seriously, even with people that
I talk to with regular figures like Zoran, I will tell you when I disagree with him, okay?
Right? Even when you guys yell at me, I tell you why I disagree with politicians. Same with AOC,
okay? This is not a defensive AOC unconditionally. There are plenty of things to criticize,
but this is a very good thing that she did, right? However, however, I will always defend the truth,
okay? So when you come out and say, didn't she vote for Iron Dome funding? Oh my God,
no, she didn't. She has never voted for Iron Dome funding. She has never voted for any weapons
funding to Israel. She has never voted for it. She's voted against it, okay?
I don't like that we traffic in fake bullshit. I don't like it. And I understand why I'm going to be as charitable as possible. I understand why this fake bullshit flies around.
And it's partially because of how AOC has carried herself in this conversation, openly standing. That's moving the goalposts. I like you, but she clearly says she supports defending Israel. I'm going to fucking lose my mind.
I'm Brian kill me. I'm Brian kill me. I'm Brian kill me. This is not a goalpost move
This is just an accurate reflection of the events that have unfolded
This is just me telling you what AOC's voting track record is okay, please you're so fucking dense
It's so frustrating and for the record AOC still doesn't go far enough for my taste okay from what for what I think is appropriate
This chat must be big Nascar fans because y'all muffle his love going in circles. Yes
Okay
If Israel can't afford its own missile defense then maybe it should start fewer wars if it can't afford its own missile defense
Why should we pay for it? Yes?
Scott Jennings is chirping spiritual leader of the Democratic Party helps as many as
real as possible dying of rocket missile attacks fired by radical Islamic terrorists.
The reason why AOC was I think shy about like, you know, taking a stance where she said like,
fuck the Iron Dome basically, right?
Fuck Iron Dome defense bending.
Why are we doing that?
It's ridiculous.
It's because of this, because this was going to be the cynical attacks and AOC doesn't like
these sort of attacks.
No one does, right?
Everyone could just sit there and eat dick on a daily fucking basis like your boy, especially not politicians, okay?
Some of you have gotten far too comfortable with my commentary and you assume that AOC is armum Donnie is also gonna fucking eat it
Not many politicians can do that Donald Trump can do that and you know
That's a that's perhaps one of his only admirable qualities
And I wish we had more leftist politicians who could do that as well
Who could just stand there and be principled and say fuck you. Okay, this is ridiculous
No more defense funds to a country that's doing genocide. We don't talk about giving, you know, there's are there not civilians in Russia
There are civilians in Russia. There's millions of them. Why are we not funding their anti-aircraft capabilities?
Right, it's ridiculous, right? Are there not civilians in Iran? We are killing them currently
Should we be funding their anti-aircraft capabilities?
So why are we funding a country's
Defenses when that country is using that defense spending to continue waging more and more warfare. It's totally wrong
It is absolutely ridiculous
Okay, I
Think this drop-side tweet describes your voting history. Well, and why it was so strange
It also didn't help the AOC ran to Twitter to defend her decisions. Yes, that was the major problem. I know I know that
That's why I'm saying my most charitable read is that like she came across like she was literally funding the iron dome or something like personally
Okay, because she was defending funding iron dome and it's ridiculous because she didn't even vote for it. Do you understand? It makes no sense
It's a classic
It's a classic AOC move where she ends up doing the right thing at the end, but because of her very calculated
Communication strategy where she wants to have the least amount of people yell at her as possible
She ends up having everyone yell at her
Okay, and and she confuses people all along the ride and I try to communicate this to people and I've talked about this before
As I was very critical of what she had done. I said AOC should not have been
striking against this provision, she should have voted alongside, you know,
we should have to leave in Ilhan Omar, but not only that, she should have been the
one advancing that provision, not Marjorie Taylor-Green, right? If you remember at the
time, that was my assessment. We should be leading on this issue. We should be
leading on this issue. Our candidates should be leading on this issue. If you're
progressive, you should be the standalone voice, unafraid to say the truth, and you
you will, apps of fucking Lutley, gain from it, right?
You will win favor with the crowd over this,
over your honesty, over your boldness, okay?
Anyway, you said she consistently votes for the iron dome.
She voted against this, so she didn't vote for iron dome.
A single vote doesn't cost you consistent.
You misstated our words, that's an incorrect quote.
Direct quote.
Has consistently voted to maintain funding
for defensive systems such as the iron dome.
Consistent implies multiple.
Can you point to multiple times she voted
Iron Dome on standalone Iron Dome funding bills. She has twice chosen not to vote. No.
In 2021, IOC planned to vote. No, but famously switched to president at the last second,
allowing one billion to pass 429 in July, 2025. She voted against an amendment to strip Iron
Dome funding. She has publicly stated she does not support cutting aid for what she
calls defensive Israeli weapons in the post above. We said she consistently voted to maintain
Iron Dome funding. We did not say she voted. Yes. In both cases, decline. She declined
to block the funding. That is the record.
This is the problem.
It's already bad that she did that, right?
It's bad on its own that she did that.
It was wrong.
It was wrong for her to vote present.
It was wrong for her to strike down against the provision, especially when she ended up
voting no anyway.
She voted no at the end.
For the final bill, she voted no, both against the Iron Dome funding and also for offensive
funding, right?
So it doesn't even fucking matter.
a 429 vote, just say no. Just be bold, be brave, defend it. Okay? But if you're going to look
at our actual track record, like, there is a reason why she is one of the most progressive
congresspersons and routinely outflanks even Bernie, okay? That's what's so frustrating
about this because like, it's almost impossible to defend the truth without coming across like
AOC dick writer, okay? When I am very critical of AOC, when she does, you know, bad things, I've
explained it thoroughly this time and will continue to do so. In any case,
I'm glad that she did this, okay? I'm glad that she did this.
It's very good that she did this. And now she's going to get bad-faced smears. So we have to be
there to defend candidates when they do the right thing, you might not think it's a bold
move. But for someone like AOC, it is a bold move. So you have to literally fucking defend
this move. It's called positive reinforcement. Okay, some of you have no capacity to understand
positive reinforcement. And you just simply want to stand out and be the most moral vehicle
possible. These are politicians. This is not your Marxist-Leninist reading group. Okay.
Ideological divisions in your Marxist-Leninist reading group are, you know, utterly material, okay?
But when we're talking about one of the most visible
national, if not international politicians,
coming out and creating a new litmus test, we have to engage in
defending them and engage in positive reinforcement, okay?
That's it. Because that attack, that cynical attack is not just against AOC.
When people are gonna come out and say, oh, I guess you want all Jews to die.
Oh, how could you do this? How could you say you don't want to give me unlimited
funds for my iron dome so I can continue doing genocide and continue invading Lebanon?
When they do that, it's not just about AOC. It's about you. It's about the majority of
people that also agree with that sentiment, okay?
You are not defending AOC when you do that. You're defending every single other person as well that has that same exact position
So remember that okay, bro. Both of us are not babies. What are you talking about? Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up
Yes, they are treat them like babies. Okay, shut up. Take a day off. Just really reconsider where you're at
I'm making a point that is beyond AOC here because these arguments are not just arguments against AOC
These arguments are against every single fucking person that have all that also have the same mindset
Okay, these are you're defending not AOC you're defending yourself you're defending this becoming a primary litmus desk in a mainstream discourse
Please understand how communication works. Please understand how propaganda works
Please understand how you actually fucking move the needle. None of you have that capability for some reason
You just want to sit around and fucking tweet
Fuck
The Israeli government is well able to fund the Iron Dome system, which has proven critical
to keeping its disability safe from market attacks and bombardment.
Because this is my voting record today, I will not support Congress sending more taxpayer
dollars and military aid to the government that consistently ignores international law
and U.S. law.
Netanyahu allies in the Knesset just approved $45 billion defense budget, and the Prime
Minister himself also asserted his interest in withdrawing from the MOU with the United
States in January.
It is fully within their ability to fund the Iron Dome and other defense systems.
Our allies who need our military aid must understand that we will provide a consistent
with the Leahy Amendment and with Foreign Assistance Act.
Even then, it doesn't go hard enough.
It doesn't go hard enough.
I will admit that.
It should very clearly spell out that Israel gets to be belligerent because of our unlimited
defense.
Our unlimited tax dollars go to Israel, and they get to be as belligerent as they want
to.
They need to recalculate their decisions.
They need to stop violating international laws.
They need to stop violating our laws.
Like, you can be more clear on it, right?
But she still obviously massages it in a way
where it's gonna frustrate people.
But also on top of that, it's going to,
it's, you know, people that are now pissed off
that she even said this because they understand
how important of a decision this is,
far more than you do, right?
Because the people that are shitting on her,
they understand what this means.
You don't, okay?
The people that are now going to act like she wants every Jewish person to go through
the Holocaust over and over again in Israel, they know how devastating this is when you
have one of the most popular nationally relevant politicians coming out and creating a new
litmus test for what it means to be critical of Israel.
So the Scott Jennings of the world, they recognize the dangers this presents for the pro-Israel
position.
you do not.
Anyway, here's another good comms from Abdul El-Said, I'm going to pee real quick.
No, I guess it's so expensive because of Donald Trump's $200 billion war with Iran.
Meanwhile, our schools are still crumbling, our roads are full of pot holes, and you still
can't afford to see a doctor.
And instead of actually solving any of these problems, Trump is taking us to war with Iran
using our tax dollars, $200 billion already.
And now, every time you fill up, you're paying for it.
Again, life doesn't have to be this hard, but it will be until we hold the powerful account.
I'm Abdul Al Sayed, running for US Senate to get money out of politics or put it back
in your pockets.
President Trump, he said to address the nation tonight on the war with Iran.
And just moments ago, he said that he's strongly considering pulling out of NATO.
That is a massive statement.
Chief Washington correspondent John Carle here with the latest.
Good morning, John.
Good morning, George.
Five weeks into a war that most Americans say they do not support, Donald Trump says
U.S. troops are now, quote, finishing the job.
Just days ago, President Trump threatened a major escalation of U.S. attacks on Iran.
Now he is signaling that U.S. troops may head home within a couple of weeks.
We're finishing the job, and I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer
to do the job.
It's not the first time the president has set a two-week deadline, many of which have
come and gone without consequence, but this talk of an exit comes as Americans are feeling
the pain of war.
Iran continues to block virtually all ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, causing
oil prices to skyrocket globally.
The average price of gas in the United States now tops $4 a gallon.
In Florida, it's $4.22, up nearly $1.30 since the war began.
It's worse out west.
$4.93 a gallon in Nevada and nearly $6 a gallon in California.
Trump offered a simple solution to bringing those prices down.
All I have to do is leave Iran and we'll be doing that very soon and it'll become
tumbling down.
Meanwhile, Trump is urging America's allies to build up some delayed courage, go to the
straight, and just take it. The president's saying that America's allies...
Yeah, this is both good and bad. I mean, if you're a peace enjoyer, this kind of feels like retreat,
right? If you're an enjoyer of peace... Hold on, I gotta fix the fucking...
and there we go.
If you're an enjoyer of peacetime
and you want this entire thing to be put to rest ASAP,
then there's only one way to read this, right?
And which is Donald Trump is retreating.
And that's a good thing.
That's not a bad thing at all.
Obviously it's devastating for American force projection
capabilities, American military posture,
What this says about like where America will go in the future as far as like American imperialism, you know, who knows?
But we don't know if there will actually be a retreat or if this is yet another act of perfidy
Where Donald Trump might come out tonight and say oh, we're done. We're done with NATO
We're done with this war or whatever and then turn around and do a ground invasion because he's a fucking psychopath and we just simply don't know
But I will say, regardless of what he ends up doing, this is an admission that he fucked up, okay?
Leaning into NATO allies and saying, it's your, you know, it's your problem. After fucking it up,
like after being singularly responsible for the Strait of Hormuz's closure, only to turn around
around and say, all right, Europe, you figure it out now.
It's totally ridiculous, right?
I mean, he's openly admitting that the American military
with all of its might are totally
incapable of forcibly reopening the Shred of Hormuz.
Iran controls it, and he's giving up, OK?
He's totally giving up.
Should be there to help, even though he started the war
without consulting them.
In a phone call, the president told me
Our allies can quote, police it themselves.
Why should I do it for them?
They weren't there for me.
And that same call President Trump told me,
he is already negotiating with what he says
is the new leadership in Iran.
We have regime change, he told me.
And this group is much more moderate
and much more reasonable.
The president told me his team.
It's so funny that this is quite literally the opposite,
by the way.
It's quite literally the opposite.
I mean, there is a lot of, there is a lot of sentiment that he's expressing to the media in the lead up to the state of the union that's supposed to happen in a couple hours.
9pm Eastern, 6pm Pacific. A lot of the statements are in line with retreat.
Okay. There's also an Iranian, the Iranian president released a letter to the American people.
There was a there was a union address from the Australian leader and the British one as well. We'll obviously cover that too.
But it's very interesting. It's very interesting to see the situation develop. I mean, we are monitoring the situation, but
But, you know, obviously, if you ask Axios, or a Trump administration official tells Axios,
this isn't 3D chess. It's 12 dimensional. He contradicts himself regularly, so nobody
knows what he's thinking. It's on purpose. It's literally, I mean, it is the Vladimir Putin me.
Because on the one hand, he's moving troops in a certain way, as though he is moving in the
direction of potential military invasion, maybe a seizure of
Carg Island, maybe a seizure of other islands, maybe not Carg
Island, right? But also on the other hand, also on the other
hand, he's talking about retreating. Very interesting.
It's unbelievably inconsistent. And lucky for him, I guess it
doesn't feed into market volatility all that much
because there's far too many financially interested parties
here that want to maintain market stability
and have a permanent growth market, permanent bull market.
So they just, anytime he says something
in the direction of retreat,
they lean into that pretty hard and they're like,
oh, stocks were covered by a trillion dollars in value,
right?
Like that happens over and over again.
At the end of the day, however,
we're talking about hard commodities
that are necessary for survival,
necessary for the energy grid.
And there is gonna be a, you know,
there is gonna be a moment where this unstoppable force
meets the immovable object,
where you just can't manipulate the oil futures markets
over and over again,
when people inevitably run out of oil, right?
Because this is not just like a pure speculative asset.
This is something necessary for the energy grids to operate.
It's something necessary for agriculture to operate, right?
When you don't have the necessary chemical compounds
being delivered so that farmers during planting season
get all of the, what is it called?
Gubre.
I'm forgetting the English word for it.
How is that even possible?
English is basically my first language at this point.
Gubre, Gubre.
Someone in the chat helped me.
No, not diesel.
Fertilizer, thank you.
Yeah, when you don't have the chemicals
the necessary chemical compounds to develop fertilizer, you're not going to be able to
get the same agricultural yields. It is absolutely going to change. The dynamic is absolutely
going to skyrocket prices. There's going to be food shortages. There's going to be famine.
This is right before harvest season. As the case with climate change, as the case with
everything else, the countries in the third world, developing nations are going to suffer
it the most, right? There's chip shortages already. And that is going to lead to shortages
in, you know, consumer goods that you can access, consumer goods that you can get, that
is going to lead to inflation on that side of things, right? This is how it always works.
Yeah, no fertilizer, no helium, no diesel, a British commodities trader went on national
television yesterday and said, tomorrow as in today, he said this yesterday, today is
going to be the last oil tanker that brings in jet fuel to the United Kingdom.
It's over after that.
Okay.
That's insane
That's insane like what will that do to
To
deliveries I
Mean I went to Cuba. I talked about the necessity for oil
in in terms of like
Keeping the energy grew it up, right
Some countries have already restarted their coal plans like Thailand
Thailand restarted their coal plants so they can power their energy grid with coal again,
right? But some countries don't have that. Like other countries have already shuttered those
operations. They don't have a redundancy there. They don't have a contingency plan. So what do
they do? When you don't have jet fuel, you don't have transport, okay? You don't have deliveries.
What do you do? This will cause unbelievable strains, unbelievable burdens on the European
markets. People will not have access to goods. Eventually, if it gets really bad, then you
can't even power your energy grid at all. There will be shortages. There will be rationing.
Do you understand? All for what? So that American Israel could successfully destroy a sovereign
country with 93 million people without even taking into consideration what the aftermath
of that looks like? It's totally ridiculous. It's totally belligerent. I don't think we
fully comprehend. Tucker and Dave Smith talked about you really? Wait, really? I didn't see
that. But I don't think people comprehend exactly how bad it's going to get. It's very
strange. Here in America, obviously, we're more sheltered from the worst impacts, right?
The lesser developed the nation is, the worse the impact will be felt.
And America by geographic proximity and through its own extractive forces, its own extraction
industries is going to be able to shelter the American population to the best of their
ability from the most consequential impacts of this energy crisis that is imminent.
But I do feel like, and I said this a couple of weeks ago, this is like giving early days
of COVID, right?
Like, oh, this problem is going to go away by, you know, next month.
Like, this novel virus is like killing people and we don't know how to stop it.
And it's like spreading an alarming rate.
And people are just like, you know, people are exhausting the limited resources that
exist in these countries.
And people are like looking into Italy.
They're like, whoa, why are people in the hospitals?
Like, why are they crowding these hospital beds, right?
These facilities are being overloaded.
And that's what it feels like to me.
It's truly unbelievable the way that the American media
is covering the issue.
I mean, some people are obviously ringing the alarm bells,
but the markets have not adjusted to the crisis
that is coming, in my opinion, right?
While the hiring rate in February
per the last Joel's report hit the same level it did
in April, 2020.
This is all entirely before any of the global energy
fertilizer, food, plastic, helium,
et cetera, price shocks get baked in.
That's stating the obvious, but we should be clear
that this self-inflicted crisis compounded
an already gloomy trajectory.
My mention, my mention.
Look at this, turns out now, of course they're left to.
We'll cover that later.
Fun fact from OddLots, the U.S. at a strategic helium reserve, which was forced to sell off in the 90s after the Gingrich Revolution.
Now helium is more critical than ever, and one-third of all global helium comes from Qatar.
Also, the stuck helium is perishable and will be unusable soon.
All the while, when Donald Trump on the one hand is saying that, you know, we might pull
out, we might pull out, and the market is reacting with joy, right?
Oh, finally, the pain will go away without even factoring in the pain that will come
regardless, due to the impact of what we've done thus far, that we have seemingly refused
to take a cold hard look at for some weird reason.
But then on the other hand, Donald Trump is saying that he is still escalating.
He's still invested in escalation.
President Trump requested a plan to seize nearly 1,000 pounds of highly enriched uranium
from Iran.
The U.S. military briefed him on a complex operation involving airlifting excavation
equipment, building a runway inside Iran for cargo planes to extract the material and potentially
deploying hundreds of troops.
Politico has the scoop on what he will say tonight.
Trump is expected to declare that war in Iran is winding down in a primetime Oval Office
address tonight.
Saying U.S. military objectives have been met, Trump has also set the shift responsibly
for reopening the Strait of Hormuz onto European and regional allies. Okay, so it's exactly
what he communicated thus far. So it still doesn't give us additional insight into whether
or not he will escalate with troops on the ground. Only because when Donald Trump has
done this in the past, it was perfidious. He has claimed that there is a de-escalation
coming down. There's a winding down of operations and then doubles down on the effort, especially
especially paired up with the reality that there are a lot of troops that are moving
into the Middle East as it stands, as we are speaking about this stuff.
I still don't know which way this will go.
I don't know which way this will go at all.
I am not so confident that the troop positioning is specifically so that they can apply additional
pressure and leverage this negotiation with the most favorable terms to America.
At a time when Iran has militarily secured W after W, they have accomplished their main
objective.
As I said in the early days, the victory condition for Iran is to remain intact.
to remain intact and apply sufficient military deterrence. They've done both. It's impossible
not to recognize that unless you're an American exceptionalist, an American chauvinist, and
outright delusional and assume that America is still winning, right? Because they killed
the Ayatollah Ali Hamanay. The reality of the matter is, Iran's victory conditions, Israel's
victory conditions, and America's victory conditions are separate. Okay? Understandably,
for Iran and America to be on the opposing side, right? So here's the victory conditions
for Iran. I'll go through it once again, and then I'll tell you the victory conditions for
Israel and America. For Iran, it's to remain intact and not be
vulcanized and continue running the country with IRGC and with the
current form of governance. While simultaneously deploying
sufficient military deterrence and maybe even
causing America to retreat from its bases, its
Maximum, maximalist goals are to demand reparations and sanctions relief while simultaneously
You know getting taken off like the the state sponsor of terrorism less than like being
A like forcing america to treat iran like an even partner like a normal country that exists outside of the u.s.
security
umbrella
Okay, this is huge
It's a demand from Iran to basically be treated like pre-invasion of Ukraine-Russia.
Those are the maximalist goals here.
I'd say that militarily they've accomplished a bunch of those goals.
They've been able to consistently strike with higher degrees of success, Israel and
American assets in the region, and even American companies in the Gulf as well, right?
So they've been able to do that. They've also successfully maintained control over the
Strait of Hormones without even shutting it down, without even mining it, right?
And now they're applying a toll in order to collect even more revenue,
which they see as a form of, I guess, reparations, and with the oil shock and the increased oil prices,
they're still continuing to send out their own tankers to the rest of the world, and that's also
been very helpful for revenues. All the while, they've had some of their munitions facilities
blown up, some of the bossage headquarters have been blown up around the country, approximately
13,000 targets have been exploded by American and Israeli Air Force campaigns.
Right? Are you serious? Backseat fever? Yes, I am serious.
This is exactly what's going on currently. Are you oblivious?
Are you oblivious to the realities that are unfolding? What's the problem?
Can you tell me what I said incorrectly? No, you can't.
Tankers are paying tolls. America has contingency plans. Okay, you're fucking around. You're shut up
Okay
Even a an accurate reflection of the expansion of the targets that they're deliberately targeting from the American side on the Israeli side
Is yet another reflection that American Israel's objectives are not being met. Okay
America's goals
perhaps short-sighted and perhaps very stupid
Because they were deluded into thinking that the Israeli intelligence on this was solid and reliable most likely coming off the
victory of Venezuela
America's goals were to basically do a Venezuela style operation in and out decapitation strike four days and
new leadership
That is much more pliant to American needs and Iran gets dominated and is basically like a vassal state to American interests
It is no longer a problem at all and they're willing and able to like destroy their munitions facilities and and maybe even limit their
Their their missile strike capabilities, they'll commit to never building any sort of
Facilities that can enrich uranium
even for civilian purposes, America gets to control the the uranium that Iran
even allows into the country, right? All this stuff, that's the American victory
condition. The Israeli victory condition is separate. The Israeli victory condition
was very different. Okay? Israel wants to diminish the Gulf, reduce the Gulf and
its power. And certainly Israel wants to destroy Iran, right? Not just do regime change in Iran,
but to absolutely destroy Iran, to wind up tensions, to foment ethnic sectarian infighting
within the country, and to balkanize Iran, right? To turn Iran into a failed state.
A country with 93 million people in it, turned into a fail state without ever accounting for what kind of reverberations that would have on the rest of the planet, and especially in this region, right?
What kind of instability that would create?
So, when you look at those victory conditions for both Israel and America and Iran, you
understand why I say with my sober analysis that America is losing, Israel is losing,
and Iran is winning.
Okay?
Iran has not achieved their maximalist goals here, certainly, but they've achieved many
of their goals militarily, and they're continuing to achieve them every day that the Strait is
under the control of the Iranian Navy.
So Donald Trump coming out tonight and saying America's going to retreat from controlling
the Strait of Hormuz, well that's an admission of defeat, right?
It's a good thing overall for the rest of the world, it's a good thing for Iran, it's
a good thing for the region.
from the the American Natsuk side of things, this is a straight-up admission of defeat.
Not gonna lie, you are biased. I am biased. I'm biased towards the truth, okay?
There has been a reason why people keep coming in here consistently every single day. There's a
reason why millions of people are tuning into what Mersheimer is saying, millions of people are
tuning into what Jeffrey Sachs is saying, and millions of people are tuning into what I'm saying
because we're not soft pedaling it, okay? I mean those guys are obviously
infinitely smarter than I am, but the point is I'm giving you sober and honest
assessment of the events that are unfolding. I am not trying to make it
seem like Iran is doing much better than it actually is. I'm telling you exactly
what's going on.
And unlike in the past where you would have to wait like 10 years 20 years for history to vindicate people like myself
We're getting that vindication fairly shortly, right? I mean it doesn't take it only takes a couple days
for for that vindication to come
So it's up to you
To to make that assessment on your own am I am I hearing some hard truths that I don't get elsewhere?
Am I going to reflect on what I'm hearing here and think maybe the situation is different than the way it's been presented in mainstream news?
Or am I just going to simply say you're biased? I don't want to hear what you have to say. You're biased.
According to the Times of Israel, Iran launches 10 to 15 missiles a day at Israel on average.
There have been six waves of launches today alone, and the largest of these waves was
10 missiles. And the interception rates have gone down. Iran has greatly improved its successful
strike percentage. It's gotten to a point where the ballistic missile launches have
obviously gone down tremendously. However, when they were launching a volley of 350 munitions,
many of which are old munitions that they were expending to diminish Israel's defensive capabilities
to like force them to deploy as many aero system missiles and as many Tamir interceptors as possible.
Now, they are successfully penetrating the Israeli defense and actually successfully striking targets.
Why the missile rate from Iran is 15% to Israel and 85% of missiles to Gulf countries? That's not true.
true. Its missile rate, its strike capabilities in Israel has gone up to above 50%. Any other
number that you hear is wrong. Any other number that you hear is wrong. This is Israel's
own numbers. Israel's own numbers. Israel is ringing the alarm bells. Its military
incursion, its invasion of Lebanon is turning into a spectacular defeat. They do not have the
numbers, they do not have the enthusiastic reservists. They are losing Merkava tanks 10
at a time every single fucking day with ATGM fire from Hezbollah. Hezbollah continues to also
engage in missile barrages into northern Israel. Now the Houthis are joining the battle as well.
Israel is in a very bad shape, and Israeli society has broadly shifted on its attitude as well in ways that I didn't even perceive, in ways that I couldn't even predict.
Israeli society, specifically the Jews in Israel, had an overwhelming approval for this Iran war, partially because the Iron Dome and Israeli defences were sheltering regular Israeli society from the worst impacts.
Right? But after 32 days of having to run into shelters over and over again, and Iran successfully penetrating the Israeli defenses over and over again, Israeli society's attitude has started to shift.
That number went from 85% approval to 60% approval yesterday.
60% approval might come across as still unimaginably high.
And it's true.
Okay, Israel is a fashion society.
A lot of people are, you know, very invested in doing maximum damage to every other country.
They hate Iran.
They have this unshakable bloodlust.
But now that regular Israeli society is starting to see the consequences of their endless incursions,
They're endless efforts of destabilizing every other neighboring country and countries in the region.
A 20% drop-off is massive. It's spectacular.
Hezbollah fired ballistic missiles towards the south of Tel Aviv, possibly more scud.
Channel 12, two launch from Lebanon, one intercepted, one fell.
One fell is really home front warning signs of being sounded at the palmachian air base in south of Tel Aviv
While Israeli society is still blood thirsty, okay by and large what you have to consider is
They are used to a level of comfort, okay, they're fucking treat the rights
They're treatlerites. They're used to a level of comfort even in a fashion society and once those
comforts are taken away, once they start feeling the retaliation, the calculation changes. This was
a big part of the reason why I have maintained a position that I see no difference between defensive
weapons and offensive weapons uh... that we are sending to israel
it was the iron dome and the arrow systems
allowed
the israeli government to be as violent as they wanted to
and maintain majority approval
because the majority did not actually suffer any consequences for israeli
violence
now they are
and that's precisely the reason why there is a drop-off
Okay?
Important to acknowledge here
This is yet another clear-cut example
A an obvious truth that the iranian military deterrence against israel is succeeding
Okay, it's succeeding
Anyway, also, there's this, this wallet just put an $800,000 bet on boots on the ground
in Iran.
They previously were right about the time US struck Iran first, unusual, you know, highly
unusual betting taking place.
It's who knows.
And there's so much insider trading in the in the poly market side of things that this
could mean that it's like it's going to actually happen. It could just be someone getting lucky.
You never fucking know what these people, unfortunately.
I've been pretty open about this, like I've been talking about this non-stop every single day,
right? That all Iran needs to do is pace itself. In a war of attrition, now that they can damage
the global markets, which is the only thing that the capitalist class cares about, and they are
the ones who obviously run the show, politicians are mere representatives of the interests of
capital owners. When they strike at the heart of capital, when they actually hit profit centers,
And they cause instability that way. That is the most effective military deterrence.
Okay? That's it.
So all they need to do is engage in this war of attrition, which favors them.
Clearly.
Here are some quotes from Trump, on Iran, from his interview with Reuters, okay?
And we'll talk about the capital owners and how frustrated they are as well.
As when the war would be over, Trump said, I can't tell you exactly. We're gonna be out pretty quickly.
They won't have a nuclear weapon because they are incapable of that now, and then I'll leave,
and I'll take everybody with me, and if we have to, we'll come back to do spot hits.
We have had full regime change, he said. I'm dealing with very good chance
that will make a deal because they don't want to be blasted anymore.
I didn't need regime change, but we got it because of the casualties of war. We got it.
So we have regime change, and the big thing we have is they're not going to have a nuclear weapon, said Trump,
adding, nor do they want one.
As for the enriched uranium, still possessed by Iran, Trump said,
that's so far underground, I don't care about that.
We'll always be watching it by satellite.
Now, that is a retreat. That is a retreat. Trump is completely dropping all of its goals
in Iran, self-stated goals in Iran. Down to the nuclear program, down to the extraction
of the enriched uranium. So how can you sit here and tell me if that is true, if this
is sincere, if this is not Trump simply trying to, you know, abide by a pump fake or something,
simply trying to pump fake Iran and then like he's going to send boots on the ground, which
by the way will be also devastating for America. I need you to understand that this will be
devastating for America. Okay? If that's not the case, if this is not simply
perfidy once again, this means Donald Trump is going to retreat from Iran, and
it will be a immensely consequential retreat.
The heads of the International Energy Agency, International Monetary Fund, and
World Bank will form a coordination group to maximize their response to the energy and
economic impacts of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the International Body said
in a joint statement on Wednesday.
The coordination group will assess the severity of impacts across countries, coordinate a
response mechanism, and mobilize stakeholders to deliver support to countries in need, the
International Body said.
So now, capital owners are mobilizing.
Let's see what little Marko had to say Americans are asking. Why did the United States have
to attack Iran now? Well, let me explain. Iran wants to have nuclear weapons. Of that,
there is zero doubt. If what they truly wanted, which is what they claim is nuclear energy,
well, they could have nuclear energy like all the other countries in the world have
it. And that is you import the fuel and you. It's so funny. It's just like every part is
is a lie, right? Every part of this is a lie. Like the idea that like Iran wasn't cooperating
with America, it was, it was cooperating with America with, with the deal that was conducted
on the with the Obama administration, multilateral cooperative agreement, China was involved,
you was involved, Russia was involved. Iran was abiding by the standards set forth in
the JCPOA, Donald Trump came in, ripped it apart under Trump won because he is a servant
of Israel because there was one party that did not want this deal to take place. One
party that had no interest in stopping the Iranian nuclear program knew that it wasn't
a sincere threat. One party that just wanted to destroy Iran. That party was Israel. Donald
Trump did that for Israel. Okay. But it didn't end there. In spite of that ridiculous deal
being cast aside, shortly after Trump won the presidency, Iran still kept going back to the
table over and over again. And twice, Iran was met with perfidy. Negotiations process led to
to America and Israel striking Iran.
The last one being the Operation Epstein's Fury that we are inside of currently.
The last 32 days of tit-for-tat bombing campaigns as America and Israel have escalated and spread
their targeting to civilian targets doing terrorism, engaging in chemical warfare with
Iran retaliating, slowly but surely, and maintaining control over the Strait of Hormuz.
Markets are suffering.
Capital owners are in a state of panic.
None of this had to happen.
Okay?
None of it had to happen.
And little Marco is still out here being like, oh, they had to get the, they wanted to get
nukes.
This is a lie.
This is a lie that the Omani mediators revealed in the negotiations process.
This is a lie that a British envoy that was also privy to the conversations revealed as
well.
The idea that Iran was not leaning into maximalist conditions set forth by America after America
had already bombed them is bullshit.
They were.
willing to play ball. And then America assassinated all the people that wanted to play ball with
America. All the people that had demonstrated strategic restraint, they were all assassinated.
So when Donald Trump says regime change took place, and now we have much more moderate
people in charge, that's a lie.
Regime change took place. This is true. Except the regime that's in place right now is hardliners.
Okay, and you can see that with the way that they're moving. They have not de-escalated at all
They're continuing to control the Strait of Hormuz
They passed a bill in Congress to to legalize their
Dominance over the Strait of Hormuz and the toll system that they implemented
They're hitting the Gulf. They're hitting Israel. They're hitting American military assets with regular frequency with incredible success
They've caused billions of dollars of damage
lost assets that will never be rebuilt. And they did that in just 32 days,
showing the rest of the world that America does not have the same force
projection capabilities that we once thought it had, and that American
Security Cooperative Agreements simply turn these countries with US military
bases into missile sponges.
That's the reality. So Marco Rubio can lie and try to change the
dynamic to the best of his ability here, but the facts on the ground are showing a very
different reality than what he is trying to present.
Build reactors above ground. That's not what Iran has done. They build the reactors and
their facilities deep in mountains, away from the public glare, and they want to enrich
that material. The same equipment that they could use to enrich material for energy, they
could use to quickly enrich it to weapons grade. So it is clear that they've been offered
every opportunity to have a nuclear program that allows them to have energy, not weapons,
and every single time they have turned it down. But why the attack?
That's bullshit. It's the exact opposite. The reality is the exact opposite of what he's
presenting here. And I know his big-eared ass can hear me when I say this, okay? He's
lying. He's lying to the American public. You have to be motivated. And there I say delusional
to believe this. Okay, you have to be delusional to believe this. Now, well, what was Iran trying
to do? Iran was trying to build a conventional shield in essence have so many missiles, have
so many drones that no one could attack them, and they were well on their way. We were on
the verge of an Iran that had so many missiles and so many drones that no one could do anything
about their nuclear weapons program in the future. That was an intolerable risk. Under
no circumstances can a country run by radical Shia clerics with an apocalyptic vision of
the future, ever-possessed nuclear weapons. And under no circumstances can they be allowed
to hide and protect that program and their ambitions behind a shield of missiles and
drones that no one can do anything about. This was our last best chance to eliminate
that conventional threat, that conventional shield that they were trying to build, and
the President made the right decision to wipe it out now. That is the goal of this operation,
to destroy their conventional missiles and their drone program so they can't hide behind
it and finally have to deal with the world seriously about never ever having nuclear weapons.
Why record is mid shit?
Um, yeah, it's the it's to try to regain control over the narrative.
i know that the american government is actually very frustrated with like
how well
uh... the iranian side has been able to communicate through all of this
uh... one of the big issues is that uh... the with the foreign minister iraqi
uh... speaks english very well
and and uh... has gone on american news programs to directly deliver the iranian
side
uh... that's very frustrating for uh... obviously propaganda efforts
a huge problem
right? You can't undermine your opposition. You can't turn them into like Hamas or
Hezbollah. They're not a non-state actor. They're a state actor. They're sovereign
state. And their leadership can speak English. That's a huge deal in terms of
being able to communicate your desires and to defend your humanity in the eyes
of Americans. Okay. On top of that, the silly memes that they've been posting,
They've also played a formative role, you know?
So, this is something that they are worried about.
This is something that the American government is absolutely worried about.
They've tried to get the military PSIOP team to start doing counter-messaging and that's
It's part of the reason why Marco Rubio is coming out and making shitty videos like that.
Pazeskian, the president of Iran, who is probably the least powerful figure in the government.
Let's be real.
But he released a statement.
He wrote a letter to the American people.
We're going to be looking at that.
Okay.
Iranian President Masoud Peseshkin in a message addressed to Americans lays out a forceful
counter-narrative the US government claims, noting Iran is a country that, at least since
its founding of the United States, has never initiated a war, and acts in legitimate self-defense
after decades of US intervention from the 1953 coup to sanctions and recent strikes.
He says Washington withdrew from an agreement and chose escalation, while attacks on infrastructure
directly targeting the Iranian people and entrenching instability. He questions whether
the war serves any American interests, warns it will leave enduring resentment, and urges
a shift toward engagement over confrontation as the only viable path forward. I'm not going
to go through all of it, but that's a pretty good summarization. And for the record, that's
just the truth, right? For these guys, they don't have to lie, okay? Because the reality
of the matter is, America and Israel's actions here are totally immoral and totally ridiculous.
So they can just simply say exactly what the truth is, okay? Arakshi is part of Pzestian's
cabinet, I know. Arakshi doesn't make any decisions. He's a great communicator, though,
but Pajesky is not as strong of a communicator and has very little, and the current government
has very little power, in my opinion, as far as like making decisions.
Arakshi has contradicted statements made by Pazeshkin in the past.
If you recall, in the early days, Pazeshkin came out and was like apologetic to the golf
neighbors and stuff.
He had to literally come out and correct the record.
He decided to look handsome?
Yeah.
Iran Foreign Minister Aarqi, no ceasefire proposal has been made by Iran.
The five-point plan allegedly proposed by Iran as media speculation, the war will continue
until the aggressor is punished and full compensation is paid to Iran.
Yeah.
US Intel Community Issues Advisory for Protecting VIPs of Public Gathering, citing Iranian
attempt to kill an American critic.
Interesting.
I worry about this. I worry about this not because I think like Iran actually is gonna do such a thing
I don't think they are I worry about this as a as a telltale marker of a sigh out potentially
You know false flag calling the shot ahead of time so you can turn around as a see we told you
But yeah, on the one hand, Donald Trump is saying he is going to de-escalate.
On the other hand, he's saying that there's a high-risk plan to seize the Iranian uranium.
But our allies are also pulling out.
Our allies are also taking a strong stance against the United States of America in this
because not only is it indefensible, but it's also devastating. It's quite consequential for the global markets.
And England doesn't want to participate in it. Even Germany is shy.
Right? These are, this is like, Five Eyes is a core part of American and Western imperialism.
When you got Australia and the UK coming out and saying, this is not for us, that's a huge deal.
That's even in my opinion is a more consequential statement than even NATO, right?
It's a big deal
Mark Dubowitz from FDD one of the beggars of
Permanent war with Iran comes out and says five eyes was built for another era
We get diminishing value from our partners and ties with Britain are at a low point time to rethink the alliance
around those actually delivering intelligence value. Israel, Poland, Ukraine, UAE, Japan, Republic of Korea, and other serious partners.
Of course you would say that you are literally an agent for the state of Israel.
Remember, FDD Foundation for Defending Democracy is basically an Israeli think tank.
It is literally an Israeli think tank. You could even go so far as say it's a Likudnik think tank.
It is Benjamin Nityahu's personal think tank in Washington DC.
And that's precisely the reason why they're saying this. Oh fuck five eyes
What you should care about is the United Arab Emirates in Israel, right? Get the fuck out of here
Um oops, hold on I'm gonna go back to that because there was a Sina to see take here as well
Sina to see says for decades a core project of the Israel lobby and the rise of neocons
Was to cast Israel as a strategic asset to the US global hegemony
Germany, especially from the 60s and 70s onward, as many of its leading figures made that ideological
turn. That logic helped embed Israel within the broader US-led alliance system. What is
striking now is that as Israeli actions are increasingly acknowledged as a strategic liability
for the United States, leading pro-Israel voices in Washington like Mark Dubowitz are
questioning the very alliances that actually underpin American power. To discerning observers,
the through line is hard to miss. A consistent push to direct US power in ways that align
with Israel, even when they run against any rational definition of US national interest.
Israel is like an abusive boyfriend for those of you who don't understand, okay? Or an abusive
girlfriend, abusive partner that constantly gets you into fights, has no ability to defend
you when those fights happen, okay? Uses you as a fucking meat shield, and is also trying
to forcibly separate you from your friends and family, so that you are increasingly singularly
reliant on your abusive partner. That is literally what's going on here. This is what it is.
Straight up. Arrogant, temperamental, hysterical, entitled, narcissistic. That's precisely what
A fascist country that is increasingly at odds with American State Department goals, but
is able to manipulate and utilize the American government and all of its power to advance
its own personal ambitions, even if it goes against long-standing security cooperative
agreements.
As precise as it was happening here, because at the end of the day, what is more valuable
to America, trillions of dollars of investment coming from the Gulf that is the underpinning
of the petrodollar system that we have, or a nation state the size of New Jersey that
constantly fucking destroys every one of its neighboring countries and demands unlimited
billions of dollars of defense.
What's a more valuable asset, you think?
Now, I'm not in favor of American imperialism.
Having said that, however, if I was a competent State Department official, I would look to
this dynamic and say, we have to cut Israel out of this equation.
We have to bring Israel to heel.
Because at this point, it's absolutely harming our interests.
It is diametrically opposite to our interests.
I wouldn't say this about previous military incursions in the way that, like, you know,
Joe Kent or Tucker Carlson does, where they shift the blame over the Israel, Israel's
reason why we invaded Iraq.
That's not true.
We did not invade Iraq because of Israel.
Did Benjamin Netanyahu play a role in the invasion of Iraq?
Absolutely.
Was he, was he playing an advisory role?
Yeah, of course he was.
He came to the United States of America, delivered, delivered speech after speech to Congress
about why this was good.
he gave a 10 to 25% push, right?
But our ambitions were ours when it came to
extracting the natural resources of Iraq.
However, however, this time it's different.
It wasn't 40%, you're wrong.
This time it's different.
This is a spectacular mistake for those who want to continue American Empire, allowing
Israel to basically infiltrate the highest levels of decision-making in this country
with its helpers, I forget what the proper term for it is, but it's helpers like Jared
Kushner and Whitcoff, people who are sympathetic, people who aren't directly paid by the Israeli
really go about like sympathetic to that cause. Okay. And also direct agent-backed interceptions
like with Lindsey Graham. No, no, there's a there's an Israeli term for it for the helpers.
No, not useful idiots, lackeys or whatever. There is an Israeli term. There's a Hebrew
term for it in Israel that the Israeli government points to where they say they're not Lindsey
Graham I'm talking about you know Jared Kushner or like for example a great example of this
that isn't Jewish is Brett McGurk right because I'm not just like implying that you know Whitkoff
and Kushner are Jewish and that's why they are you know doing this or whatever.
Is it Azar? It could be Azar. I don't know. Whatever. It doesn't matter. But there's helpers,
there's assets, there's agents, and then there's on voice. Okay? In this circumstance, Donald
Trump is surrounded by people who are sympathetic.
And so was Joe Biden, but Joe Biden himself
was also sympathetic, right?
Donald Trump is more malleable.
But the helpers were specifically
Whitcoff and Kushner.
The assets were Lindsey Graham who kept traveling
back and forth to Israel and openly told Washi Journal that like he was getting talking points from Israel to convince Donald Trump
and you got envoys directly communicating with Donald Trump like Benjamin and Yahoo
and that's how we arrived at this spectacular fuck up
up. Okay? And Donald Trump did not listen to his own generals, his own intelligence assessments
on how things would go when they warned him. And he went through with it regardless. So
that's the reason why I say this time is different, that Israel is in the driver's seat. Israel
has been in the driver's seat for our Middle Eastern affairs since Trump won. That was
big shift. That's why Trump did a bunch of things that no previous administration had ever entertained.
And this is yet another one of those instances. Because Israel has wanted to blow up Iran for
years, for decades. Iran has been an ever-present threat to Israel, both with the axis of resistance
and also with its missile striking capabilities.
Donald Trump did it.
He took the final plunge.
And here we are.
has been talking with the speaker of the Iranian Parliament, who just a few days ago was taunting
Trump on social media, posting,
Sad, but this is what happens when your leaders put others ahead of hard-working and ordinary
Americans.
But Trump telling me, he's toned it down a lot.
He's much better.
The president then added what sounded like a threat to the man he says he is talking
to.
We know where he lives.
Let's put it that way.
President Trump will address the nation tonight, and what the White House says is an important
update on Iran.
This comes as a new Ipsos poll out this week shows 60 percent of Americans disapprove of
U.S. military strikes on Iran, and that nearly two-thirds of Americans want to see the U.S.
to work to end the conflict quickly.
And, John, as we've been saying just moments ago, the President gave this interview to
a British newspaper already drawing reaction across Europe.
Yeah.
else asked directly, would you consider withdrawing from NATO? And look at his answer. He says,
oh, yes, I would say it's beyond reconsideration. I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they
were a paper tiger and Putin knows that too, by the way. The reason why Donald Trump uses paper
tiger when he's talking about NATO is because everyone else is calling America a paper tiger
for understandable reasons because it is, but it's really funny because NATO is America. So when
When he calls NATO a paper tiger, he's still calling America a paper tiger, but he's too stupid to recognize that for some reason.
In his endless need to shift the blame over to someone else, he ends up fucking... What is this? What? We already read the letter, man. Calm down, yes.
We read it. We read it. You're like spamming it. You're like, dude, Pajeski and drop something crazy, bro. You gotta read it. It's crazy style.
Give you a lot of time yesterday. Yeah, look, I'd say what one thing that struck me
I spoke to him for about 20 minutes
Yet in the middle of the day in the middle of work day
He seems like somebody who doesn't have a concern in the world
He seems extremely confident that the war is going to be just fine that Americans will turn around and support it
The prices will come back down
He spent a lot of time George talking not just about Iran
But about the ballroom that he is building, which was stopped yesterday about the fact that his signature is going to be on the dollar bill
That they're renaming the airport in Palm Beach
Even talking about plans for the library that his son Eric is working on in Florida
He really seemed like a man that was not troubled at all
But what was going on in the middle of the war all in the middle of the war? Yeah, girl. Thanks very much
Turning out to the latest on the war in Iran
President Trump has announced a prime time address tonight on the conflict on Tuesday
He said the war could wrap up in two to three weeks, but it's not clear what he'll say this evening
Major stock markets were up Tuesday on optimism the fighting could end soon. Weeja Jang spoke with the president about his plans
Weeja good morning. What did he say?
Adriana good morning to you good morning to everybody even if the US pulls out of the Iran War in two or three weeks
That would be longer than President Trump's original timeline
I asked him what else has to happen between now and declaring victory Trump said quote not much
We want to clean up some ends, but we have done our job
We'll be leaving very soon
President Trump said the u.f. Continues to negotiate with Iran, but will soon be done with the war
I had one goal. They will have no nuclear weapon and that goal has been attained. They will not have nuclear weapons
But we're finishing the job and I think within
Maybe two weeks maybe a couple of days in a phone interview
I asked the president if removing the enriched uranium that remains in Iran, a critical component
to make a nuclear weapon is a requirement to declare victory.
Trump said, I don't even think about it.
That's so deeply buried, it's gonna be hard for anybody.
Trump said it's possible Iran will make a deal in the coming weeks, but added that is
not necessary for the US to end the war.
They're losing.
I mean, all of these statements are an admission of defeat.
Like nuclear weapon, oh, we don't care about it any longer.
Shred of hormones, we don't even need to open it.
We got all of our goals across.
This is a defeat, you know?
This is a major, major defeat, right?
And it's going to have widespread consequences
around the world.
No regime change took place.
They're like, oh, we did regime change.
The guys are more pliant. It's bullshit. They're literally way more fucking aggressive. They're hard liners
So I
Don't know in the case of Donald Trump
I never know if it's like someone lying to him in his orbit and he's such a fucking moron that
He doesn't know that people are lying to him and he's just like repeating what he's heard
Or if he's personally come up with this lie to save face. I just don't know
know, right? But every single reason that he did this, he has dropped at this point,
piece by piece. Like this video goes through each individual goal, no matter how silly
it was from the start, and openly recognizes that they're lost, right? Claiming that he's
one on these, you know, maximalist goals when the reality is the exact opposite, right?
They admit they're losing. They're begging to make a deal.
Earlier Tuesday, the president said reopening the Strait of Hormuz is up to other nations
since they depend on Gulf oil far more than the U.S. I'm not a gatekeeper for them. He
said in our interview, countries have to come in and take care of it.
like we're operating like there's no tomorrow right
we're behaving
like there's no day after this is the same thing that I was uh...
considering for Israel right like when Israel was doing the genocide
uh... and and openly openly showing the rest of the world that there are
not a force that you can uh... reason with right that they're just like this
unstoppable force of evil, they were not calculating what the day after would look like.
When you unwind international standards, when you destroy the liberal post-World War II consensus,
the post-World War II international rule-based order, eventually someone is going to strike back against you in a similar fashion.
in a similar fashion. Here I'll give you a small example of this, right?
Cluster munitions.
America and Israel have never signed on
to the weapons conventions barring the usage of cluster munitions.
Right? They've never done so.
And now Iran is using cluster munitions on Israel.
So Israel keeps turning around and saying,
they're using cluster munitions on us, like,
this is a war crime, and no one gives a shit.
Because
You fucking violated the rules from the start
You violated the rules from the start of course they're gonna fucking use it against you and no one is gonna turn around to be like
Wow, I can't believe it, you know
Like that's ridiculous
That's fucking ridiculous. This is the problem with might makes right politics
It only works if you are the most mighty
Okay, and it certainly doesn't work if there is a country that is invested and has the capabilities of conducting asymmetrical warfare.
Iran is that country.
That's the problem here.
here. Might makes right only works as long as you are the most mighty. When you
are no longer the most mighty, all of a sudden you're in a spectacular position
of weakness, far weaker than you actually ever were when you first entered the
battle.
And no one will come to defend you.
These international standards benefited the United States of America because it offered
it a liberal patina, a protective cover.
America had to make a convincing case that these kinds of interventions that America
was engaging in were necessary interventions, albeit very violent interventions, but they
were necessary.
was the world police and they implemented soft power initiatives to prop the the hard power up
to justify it to the rest of the world. I warned of this reality. I never thought that I would
experience this this change of attitude happen so rapidly. Right? What did I always say? Trump too.
From the start I said if you if you diminish soft power all of a sudden 800 military bases
will look a lot like 800 different military invasions in no country throughout history,
has ever been able to exhaust its resources that much and spread that far and wide and continue
its military dominance, right? It doesn't work like that. And that's what's going on. And you will see
these reverberations, you will feel them slowly but surely in the upcoming years.
They'll be able to fend for themselves, I think it'll be very safe actually, but we
have nothing to do with it.
Iranian restrictions in the Strait have caused gas prices in the U.S. to spike by almost
35 percent since the war began.
All I have to do is leave Iran and we'll be doing that very soon and it'll become tumbling
down.
In a new warning, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps is threatening to attack the Middle
East offices of American tech firms tonight if Iranian leadership continues to be targeted
by airstrikes.
18 companies were singled out, including Microsoft.
50,000 Cartier glasses.
You keep saying America and Trump is losing the war, but you can't even see that the actual
war objectives are.
The state of war girls were never the actual objectives, but you can't see what they are.
What are the actual war objectives, Drake Sinatra?
Was it to, was America's actual war objectives to show the rest of the world its ass?
Was that what it was?
To just like light billions of dollars of weapons systems, radar installations, and
you know, irreplaceable aircraft on fire?
They want to blow up Middle East.
Oh, okay.
Got it.
Thank you for your analysis.
Oh I didn't realize that America's goals here was to diminish the confidence that people
have in the American military that is the underpinning of why the dollar is the global
reserve currency while simultaneously destroying the petrodollar's resilience.
You know it's a two-fold mission right there.
What do you think destroying the Middle East means, Chatter?
It means no more Petro-Dollar.
It means no more Swift system.
Are you crazy?
And also showing that America does not have the capabilities to force project or to defend
its allies, defend its security cooperative allies, where there are American military
bases, remember 800 of them around the world.
military bases are not actually a guarantee that you will be secure. As a
matter of fact, it's a guarantee that you will be insecure if there's a country
crazy enough to fucking fight back against America. Do you feel like those
are, you know, do you feel like that would be the goal of any country, let alone
the United States of America, that has dominated the planet as the hegemonic
superpower for our entire lives? Of course not. We are a victim of our own success. If
the American goal, if the American government's goal was to maintain its hegemonic status,
especially after the dissolution of the USSR, when we were left with no real enemy, right,
No other great power. No other world power that could contest our ambitions and fight back
We greatly accelerated our own demise
Okay, we did that because we were too successful
We continued accelerating in the in the financialization of the American economy which had horrible shocks
on
the the American labor force on the health of the overall domestic economy
We kept funneling money into
endlessly expanding military budgets to the military industrial complex that was no longer actually developing the most sophisticated weaponry
Simply because they wanted to to dominate the rest of the world, but instead to just make money
Right
We've spread far too thin and we could do so because we picked our targets carefully
Okay, we picked our targets carefully
Iraq
Afghanistan
Iraq again, right like those were
Those were targets that we could dominate militarily, okay?
They did not have the capabilities of fighting back.
We implemented much more sophisticated messaging operations in the buildup.
This time it's different.
Even Venezuela, yeah.
Venezuela is another example of this as well.
So this time is different, because the country that we finally decided to take on was one
that had developed its sovereignty through blood, Iran, and had spent 47 years developing
its defenses for this exact moment, and we pushed them to a fucking corner.
We killed their leadership, and now they're successfully fighting back and achieving
their objectives, militarily.
And the impact around the world is devastating.
We have released Russian sanctions in an effort to make up for the energy crisis that we created
when Iran shut off the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran is able to farm additional revenue.
Iran is able to farm additional revenue through a toll system in the Strait of Hormuz.
achieving all of its military goals here, while showing the rest of the world that America
does not have the capabilities of defending its allies, and it does not have the capabilities
of bringing a country that we have been able to dominate economically through economic warfare
by a sanctions regime, we cannot bring them to heal militarily. It's over.
From the United States, President Donald Trump is saying that Iran has asked for a ceasefire,
in a social media post he said that Washington will consider when Hormuz Strait is open,
free and clear, until then US forces are blasting Iran into oblivion or as they say back to the
stone ages. Okay let's bring in our Chief US Correspondent Alan Fisher who joins us from the
White House. So Alan the question is, is there anything in this? Well I hate to use the phrase
time will tell Nick that's exactly what will happen and that's exactly where it's headed
and as I've said many times this isn't a day to day thing this is an hour to hour thing.
What is interesting is that Donald Trump has announced that he wants a prime time address
on all the main networks and he will get that at 9pm this evening so in just about 12 hours
time there was speculation on Tuesday night that Donald Trump was perhaps going to announce
an end to the war that is unlikely from people I've been speaking to over the last 12 hours
or so they say it's more likely that he's going to say the war will continue for a couple
of weeks. He understands that people are experiencing financial pain. He understands that the cost
of gas, the cost of filling up your car, and the cost of fuel for your home is much more
expensive. But he says this is a short-term pain to get through this, and at the end of
it there will be Iran with no nuclear weapons. Now the language has changed over the last
four or five days from the administration. We heard it from Pete Hegceth on Tuesday.
We're seeing it from Donald Trump in this Truth Social Post, where he says that dealing
with the new government of Iran, they're less radicalized and far more intelligent. That
of course sets them up as not being the threat they wear when Donald Trump has called the
government in Tehran as evil, as monsters, as waving lunatics. This sets them up as
people who are more easy to deal with and although Donald Trump has achieved many of his aims and
there's no doubt about that that militarily this has been an overwhelming victory for the United
States in that they've destroyed the Iranian Navy they've diminished the air force they've hit the
missile producing factories they've damaged the drone program as well all of those have been
successful but of course what he talked about was regime change and he hasn't been able to deliver
that so now by dressing it up as this government being less radicalized far more intelligent
it sets them up to be able to say well there is a new regime there are different people
in charge and there are different people but there's no indication that the ideology
or the approach from Tehran to the United States will be any different under the people
who are now in charge.
To Tehran now to Ali Hashim so.
Like, at a certain point, you have to consider this, okay?
It doesn't really matter if we're diluting our own countrymen by saying, oh, the victory
conditions have been met, we're doing great.
What matters is what the truth is, right?
Like other countries are seeing the reality, right?
And that's, eventually, as people come to that recognition that America's capabilities
are actually nowhere near what people previously calculated them to be, that's going to change
the dynamic of the world, right? Like, it doesn't matter if the stock market is doing
well in the United States of America for the time being, it doesn't matter if like, you
know, Trump says, oh, I won all my objectives here. I did it all. I'm so successful. Like,
what matters is the truth. Because at the end of the day, these other countries that
that are led by competent leaders,
even if they're vassal states ultimately,
they see the truth.
They recognize what's going on, right?
It doesn't even matter how they communicate.
Doesn't even matter,
because like you look at 32 days ago,
you look at the statements from European leaders 32 days ago,
and look at how they're talking about the situation now.
Okay, match those statements up, listen to MERS, listen to Keir Starmer, listen to Macron, they were salivating, they were so elated, they were like, oh, finally, we're doing this, I mean, listen, it's great, fantastic, Mr. President, thank you for doing this.
Now, listen to them, 32 days after the fact, it's impossible.
It's impossible to avoid the truth.
When you hear the fear in their voice, their tenure has changed, right?
Ali, President Donald Trump saying Iran has asked for ceasefire.
What's being said there?
Well, according to Iranian officials, they're denying completely this request for a ceasefire.
The only thing that comes to mind is President Pesoschian's call today with the head of the
European Council, President of the European Council, where he said, we have the necessary
resolve to bring this war to an end while observing its requirements, especially the
the essential guarantees to prevent the recurrence of aggression.
This is the only thing close to what might be an idea of ending the war.
But of course, it's not a request of ceasefire, and it emphasizes on the idea of ending the
war with guarantees that it's not going to occur once again.
So it's completely different from what President Trump has been tweeting or sorry, posting
on youth social. So Iranian officials are denying this completely. And we had yesterday
the foreign minister, he's the man in charge of the diplomacy in this country saying that
they're not looking for a ceasefire. They want a comprehensive end of this war. Actually,
all that's so funny because like as critical as I am of Barack Obama for years, for years
I've maintained a position that his signature foreign policy accomplishments were with the
JCPOA and the normalization of relations with Cuba, okay, the easing of sanctions on both
of these countries. And it's unbelievable that the Democrats, when they were in charge,
did not even reverse that position and go back to the Obama administration stance on
Iran or with Cuba. What a fucking spectacular failure this was by the Biden administration.
Sina Tusi all the way back in May 25th, 2022, talking about the sanctions relief.
What did Iran do with the sanctions relief it received under the deal in 2015?
According to the Director of Defense Intel, Lieutenant General Stuart, the preponderance
of the money Iran received from the JCPOA went to economic development and infrastructure.
Opponents of the Iran nuclear deal in Congress choose to avoid the facts and prioritize politics
over what's good for U.S. national security and global peace and stability.
and engagement delivered results on Iran. Trump's maximum pressure failed on every front.
Okay.
Like this was our own military assessment that they were straight up taking advantage of the
sanctions relief to develop their own country. They were not using it in the way that the Trump
administration was claiming that they were. Okay. It's so ridiculous dude. It is so fucking stupid.
And and honestly I have smoke for Obama too who never actually defended his legacy on this
He loves defending his legacy
And he never turned around and said hey remember when I did the Iran nuclear deal and it was awesome
He never defended it. He didn't urge the Biden administration to push for it again
We just left it in the fucking rear view
Why because everyone in Congress is a dick writer for Israel
That's why if you want the honest truth of it, it's because every single fucking dumbass congressperson both
High-ranking officials in the Democratic Party and every single Republican is unconditionally pro-Israel. Okay, that is why
That's precisely the reason why
What a rid what a crock of shit this is
Obama loves defending his legacy. He loves talking about Medicare for all.
And yet, he never talked about his legacy with the Iran deal. Never. Not once.
Never defended it. Never urged the Biden administration, who was, you know, his vice president, right?
To reconsider the JCPOA.
Oh, did I say Medicare for all? Sorry. ACA, Obamacare. That's what I was talking about.
Obviously he didn't do Medicare for all. He's antagonistic to Medicare for all because it
questions his legacy. Let's be real. Analysis here in Iran and observations and officials
are saying that they are not in a position to ask for a ceasefire because this is going
to be very harmful for Iran, because it's going to leave this whole conflict in the
sea, just flying in the sky and in tatters. At any time, they might be attacked once again
what they want. It's just like Mr. Pesishkian said, the president, Pesishkian, that they
need guarantees so that this is not going to happen again. Also, Abbas al-Aqchi yesterday
in a phone call with the Lebanese speaker, Nabi Berre,
said that the end of the war in Iran
is going to be in accordance with the end of the war
in Lebanon.
I mean, it's very complicated to end this way.
Ali, thanks for that, Ali Hashem in Tehran.
Yesterday,
the Chinese Central Committee of the Central Committee
of Foreign Affairs,
President of Pakistan,
China and Pakistan launched joint peace initiative
to stop the spillover of Middle East.
Even though you done did me dirty, you're still my number one Shuramaki.
Here's what the actual words of desire in my opinion.
Oh, this guy wasn't memeing.
He's like being serious and energy dominance, the golf and world dependence on them, secure
energy dominance over Europe, fund war chest for war with China, eliminate threats to Israeli
local hegemony.
Dog, do you think we're achieving any of those things?
Do you understand that the refinement capabilities that we have to implement on US soil in order
to take advantage of the Venezuelan crude that we have, heavy crude that we have, to
make up for the loss of supply from the Gulf is infinitely riskier with no real mechanism
to achieve those goals?
I've talked about this already.
As opposed to just like keeping the fucking GCC stable because they're vassals anyway.
You're out of your mind.
You're talking about like a five-year period where what?
There's just gonna be rolling blackouts in every country, with the exception of the United
States of America and Canada and Mexico.
That's fucking insane in Russia.
No, you're out of your mind.
funding the warships with China, that is the worst aspect of this, because the economists
and financial times are literally behaving like fucking Hassan Abihaz right now, okay?
I've been talking about this for years, and I never thought in a million years would I
see the same commentary that I've been talking about, the same analysis that I'm seeing from
like America's endless militarism reflected in the fucking financial times of all places.
Remember, we were joking about American Century of Prosperity, JD Pondon, right?
The Economist literally did a JD Pondon do nothing win meme.
He's literally believing the theory you had a few weeks ago. Why are you acting like this is insane all of a sudden?
Because when I was talking about the theory of like, what is the materialist interpretation?
What could be a long-standing goal here? I also explained to you that it is unachievable and is going to lead to spectacular defeats regardless.
regardless, and it's still going to hurt America both in the short term and cause its collapse in the long term because
This has shown that America doesn't have the military capabilities of going against China.
I have I've never shied away from that perspective. Chinese export controls will diminish if not destroy
American munitions development and procurement capabilities, okay?
But you assumed it was what the Americans believe. I don't think America has the capabilities of achieving this.
I don't know if this is going to be successful at all. That's why I'm telling the chatter that it's a ridiculously risky endeavor.
Trump is now in an impossible bind. If he tries to occupy Carg Island, he will almost certainly
have to use US troops committing to the US fully to a war that will ratchet up gas prices.
If Trump chickens out due to Hormuz, it makes America's military might look laughable.
I think chickening out or not, this is already unsalvageable. I think if Donald Trump came
in and tried to do like a swift tactical operation and was able to seize control over
Karg Island and let's say Iran didn't fucking evaporate Karg Island and like
Laser however many thousands of troops that were deployed on Karg Island because I think Iran would just straight up nuke Karg Island
Just so you guys understand
Like if America somehow takes Karg Island Iran nukes it and not with like a real nuke, but you see what I'm saying, right?
Like they will take that they will absolutely
They will apps of fucking Lutley blow up that island in order to kill as many American troops as possible
Okay
But look at this look at this look at the economists, this is a
Fucking straight-up community meme dude. This is a community meme and it's now the newspaper of
of western capitalists reflecting on a community meme from our community. Okay?
Okay?
It's just like I've never seen so much unbelievable vindication in such a short period of time
like the the the Gaza equation took two and a half years and an unlimited bloodshed of children
for people to basically come to terms with the reality to come to our side and the argument
to see what we were talking about. You're right. The Iran one is even far more accelerated than that.
I can't believe it. Adam twos was talking about how China can restore, you know,
stability around the globe. He was like writing for the Financial Times, talking about a five-point
plan for Chinese dominance. Now, some of it is very silly, obviously, but like, you know,
it's just, it's crazy that it took like less than 30 days for many intelligent people to
really reconsider how they view China, to really reconsider how they view America's force projection
capabilities, things are happening. This is why I said in the beginning of this conflict,
I said these are the weeks where decades happen, right? We're in it. We've been in it.
Yeah, Francis Fukuyama talking about the nuclear doctrine and saying North Korea was right to
to develop nuclear sovereignty, like these are people that have, I mean, even down to
like the FTD guys or the Atlanticists at these like, you know, right wing American
foreign policy think tanks that have demanded, that have demanded America do exactly what
it's doing for years and years, have to conduct sober assessment about how things are going
and saying, this is really bad. This is really, really bad. We have to figure out a way to
fucking pull out. Like Citrinowitz, right? Like that guy, who's another one of these
like analysts that's a, you know, an Atlantisist, I think he's at like, is he at Rand or something?
I don't know. I forget where he's at. But all of these like pro military intervention
guys are now turning around and being like, we have to pull out, we have to pull out,
have to pull out. Okay? That's unbelievable. That's unbelievable. It is a moment of pure
vindication. And yet, of course, there's, you know, boundless, endless stupidity on
the American side. So of course, there's still going to be people who don't recognize what's
going on. And they'll say, Oh, you're just wrong, or you're biased, you don't want to
see the truth, but it doesn't matter because the truth is the truth. Okay?
Intelligent people in other governments and foreign governments, intelligent
people that have their assets, that have their assets in the region, that are
experiencing the shocks, are recognizing exactly what's going on and
they're going to reconsider American hegemony. The damage is done, right? I
I don't think there is any way to turn this around.
It's been said before, but it should be said again. This could be the United States of America Suez moment. Yeah.
You do not see a way out of this that creates face saving for America.
I don't see it.
The moment that Iran was able to control the Shredifar Moose and stop oil tankers from
passing unless they pay a toll in Chinese Yuan was the moment where everything changed.
and they have not let up. Yes, the Suez crisis considered the moment of the British Empire fell,
a devastating blow. I think this is worse than that because I don't think America has the
capability of managing imperial decline in the way that the British Empire was able to do so.
The British Empire was able to retreat and basically become a vassal state to the continuation
Western imperialism under the hands of America. This time it's different. It's more devastating
than that because there is no Western, there is no continuing Western imperial force. None.
This is going to rip apart Western imperialism. That is what I see in our future.
And it will be very bad in the short term, but I think it will be very good for global
prosperity in the long term.
But it's entirely dependent on what America and Israel do next.
Yeah, meanwhile, Trump's approval amongst 18 and 34 year olds has went down to a net
60.
Minus 60, 20% approval, 80% disapproval, told you, told you from the start that all of the
low propensity voters who were too young to remember what Trump won looked like, who only
saw COVID and its impacts as a, you know, Biden administration problem, who experienced
a shitty jobs market and experience inflation, and thought it was the responsibility of the
Democrats entirely that took another shot in the dark at this figure that was quote-unquote
anti-establishment.
He was able to present himself as anti-establishment to young people who weren't around, who weren't
paying attention, too young to recognize what Trump won looked like.
What did I tell you?
I told you as soon as that change doesn't come, because I saw this with Trump one in
2016, I was there when Trump one came with a lot of promise.
Shaking up the system, right?
People were like, oh, I want an anti establishment pick.
I want a populist.
He's going to shake up the system.
He's going to defend my interest.
And when that didn't happen, people quickly snapped back to reality.
They developed enmity towards Donald Trump.
And I said it was going to happen again, especially for young men, right?
Especially for young people.
Some people who do not remember what Trump used to look like and decided to gamble on
Trump just like people did in 2016, they did that.
And I told you that that would snap back when they realized that Trump wasn't going to yield
treats and an affordable price point for these guys.
In any case, here we are.
Iran's president just released a letter to the Americans saying they're being fed lies
about this war, and tonight every U.S. network is clearing their schedule for Trump's 9
p.m. address.
UK Starmer just went on TV and warned of a crisis while Australia's Prime Minister gave
a rare national address telling people to brace for economic pain.
All of the Five Eyes nations addressed their countries trying to separate themselves from
the war and warned that economic hardship is coming.
It's almost as if they know what Trump is about to announce and they probably do.
Five Eyes is at the end of the day an intelligence sharing alliance.
i worry
i worry that these guys are doing the same thing that general dan cain tried
to do
trying to
uh... clear their image ahead of what comes next
if you recall dan cain
went to every news outlet before donald trump struck iran alongside israel
to say if we do this it will be devastating if we do this
we will diminish our capabilities if we do this we will run out of missiles we
He will never be able to take on China ever again.
He was right.
And the reason why he did that, public statement, to any news outlet that would cover it, was
because he wanted to apply pressure to Trump to stop him from doing this thing.
But Trump was obviously far too invested in death and destruction, like the moron that
he is.
And yes, I will be live during the speech.
I will be delivering my speech at Stanford while this speech is happening, if it actually
starts at 6 p.m. But I will continue my broadcast and continue my commentary after the Stanford
speech that I deliver, okay?
Yes.
It will be a speech off.
It'll be like I'm delivering a response to the Trump State of the Union, because I will
be talking about the decline of American Empire.
Has Iran obliterated the Hassanabi doctrine?
Does it need revised?
What?
No.
If Iran had nukes, this wouldn't have happened.
The world would be more stable, the region would be more stable, Iran can continue having
its sovereignty.
The reality of the matter is,
Merchawmer was totally correct when he said,
if Iran had nukes, Israel wouldn't be able to fuck with Iran, America wouldn't be able
to fuck with Iran, and that region would be an infinitely more stable region,
it's just the truth.
It's just the truth.
Look at North Korea.
Nobody fucks with North Korea.
No one's gonna watch your speech, little bro.
We're watching Trump.
Shut the fuck up, bitch.
Yes, I will be streaming my speech as well.
Wait, are you in the Bay Area?
Come to San Francisco?
I will be in San Francisco tomorrow.
I'm in Palo Alto today to go to Stanford.
Breaking reports indicate the former Iranian Foreign Minister, Kamal Khazari, has been
injured in a U.S. Israeli strike on his residence in Tehran.
With some accounts alleging his wife was killed, Khazari, a senior advisor to Iran's Supreme
Leader, has a strategic counsel on foreign relations and influential body that helps
shape, Tehran's foreign policy direction. It was interviewed by CNN on March 9th, where
he rejected claims of Iran's military, been significantly weakened, and explained how
he envisioned the war playing out. The latest reports remain unverified. Let's take a look.
The Donald Trump has been deceiving others and not keeping his promises.
How does all of this end then? If you say right now there's no room for negotiation.
President Trump says he wants complete surrender. What does that lead to?
There's no room unless the economic pressure would be built up to the extent that other
countries would be intervening to guarantee this termination of aggression of Americans
and Israelis against Iran.
Iran has a new supreme leader.
What does that mean for your military effort and the confrontation with the United States
and in Israel?
That means the system is quite functioning.
The United States has drastically degraded the Iranian military, the capabilities as far
as missiles is concerned.
This was March 9th, by the way, okay?
So just remember that, like, if you want to understand who is correct, you can listen
to what he's saying.
If you want to understand who had a better assessment of how things were going to go,
listen to what the Iranian side is saying versus what the American side was saying on
March 9th.
is concerned. How much longer can you do this?
That is one of the false narratives that the United States government is producing.
Iranian Ministry is quite strong, as you see, because they have the motivation, they have
the arms that they need, which are produced in Iran.
So your side is ready for a long war if the United States and Israel choose that.
Do you consider this an existential threat to the Islamic Republic?
It is an existential threat to the Islamic Republic and therefore we have to say it's
full might as we are doing now.
What is your message to President Trump as we sit here, as the war is going on?
What is important for us is the end of this game.
And we are ready to continue that game.
And you mean how this war will end?
The end of the game would be the time that American and Israelis would come to this understanding
that this strategy is not working.
And they have to stop the regulations.
Anyway, I'm skipping the Chinese-Pakistani joint initiative. France, Japan, and Agria
on Iran's ceasefire need, Macron says, all of the other global partners are coming out
to say, we got to put a stop to this, we got to put an end to this, this is ridiculous.
For good reason, because it is ridiculous. Okay, just remember that.
You mentioned the context in which this meeting and this visit came about.
It is obviously troubled, marked by several wars, but I will here again say very clearly
some elements that are the basis of the bilateral relationship and of our cooperation
and that you just mentioned.
First and foremost, we believe together in international law,
the international order that rests on the United Nations Charter,
We also believe in the democratic values that we defend.
That's what makes you remember that we defend one and the other,
the return to peace, to cease fire, to calm,
to free circulation through the three mouses.
They weren't calling for a ceasefire in Gaza when their economies weren't on the line,
cynical fucks. Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Of course, make no mistake.
Animals, all of them, okay?
Yeah, they are cynical, self-interested, uh,
monsters. Of course, where was the appetite for a ceasefire when Israel was was murdering
Palestinian children every single day? I mean, Israel still continues to murder Lebanese children
and sometimes Palestinian children as well. There's still no demand for restraint there. Right?
It is also the fact that since February 2022, with Constance, Japan is on the side of the
Europeans to remember the importance of a fair and durable peace and respect for international law.
Remember the text from Macron the Trump? I don't know what you're doing with Greenland. We can do amazing things with Iran. Yeah
Yeah
All of them all of them indecent, okay
Just remember that
But remember how they celebrated Venezuela and then Donald Trump turned across Arizona and they were like whoa
Whoa, you're treating us like we're brown hold on
right
Same principle holds. Remember when they were excited at the prospect of
dominating Iran, right? Oh, this is gonna be great. Gonna be great. Not so great,
is it? That's why I said we in the Western world, we in the Imperial Corps, do need
a little bit of humbling. And this is not bad for ordinary citizens living in
Imperial Corps, maybe there will be some short-term consequences, which will be, the impacts will be
far softer than what like the global south receives, as always, unfortunately, they have to bear the
brunt, no matter what. But if this causes America to retreat from the maintenance of empire, this
is objectively a good thing. We need a black eye. We need a bloody nose.
It's clear that we will not stand down.
And that bloody nose, if it leads to the retreat of empire, will actually force the, uh, the American government to actually focus on itself a little bit, rather than constantly funneling our productive output into death and destruction into this war machine.
You understand?
It's in the Middle East has now entered a second month and while we're working at pace
for de-escalation and peace, it is now clear that the impact of this war will affect the
future of our country.
So today I want to reassure all the British people that no matter how fierce this storm
well-placed to weather it
but we have a long-term plan to have merged from it
a stronger
a more secure nation that's bullshit
this is not our war
we will not be drawn into the conflict
that's by the way this is greatly improved here star more kids starvers
approvals in england by the way uh... in the u k
because
uh... any sort of like uh...
even
uh... any sort of like aesthetic decoupling from america yields tremendous
uh... positive approvals for any fucking middle power
uh... any any government that's in charge of a middle power
mark carney already did this is the mark carney method right
and kids starver
it looks like he has a spine now
okay
now of course
This, once again, gives people on our side a unique opportunity
to demand far more, because as the permission structure expands,
right, there is a larger window of opportunity to make more
aggressive demands.
Kids, sorry, kids, Starver comes out and says, Oh, this is not
our war.
Great.
Now the Greens can turn around and say, okay, are you going to
punish Israel?
Are you going to demand accountability from Israel and America?
We will.
All of a sudden, you can actually move in a more productive manner.
The same principle holds for what I was talking about with AOC saying, I make no distinction
between offensive and defensive weapons any longer.
No more aid to Israel.
No more weapons transfers to Israel because they're violating international law and American
laws.
AOC says that that becomes the new litmus test for every single other progressive hopeful, right?
And now we can demand more. Now we can demand BDS, boycotts, divestments, sanctions.
Okay, remember that.
There's a new floor now. There's a new bare minimum, acceptable rhetoric on Israel now.
That's how this works. I've seen it in action, right? For years. Anytime I called Israel an
apartheid state, people would say that's anti-Semitic. 2021 came around and all of a sudden every
single international human rights organization, including Betselam, openly declared Israel an
apartheid state. It was far before 2021, but it doesn't matter, right? And when they did that,
It no longer was as difficult a conversation to broach.
You're saying that their fallback from their old position is our gain? Always. Always.
You can expand on what you can say. You can expand on your demands when there is a new bottom, when there is a new minimum acceptable conversation.
It's such bullshit that this gives Tharmer the optics of having a spine, even though
he's still in an invertebrate, spineless.
Yes, but again, remember, there's opportunity here.
Now the Greens can push for more, right?
Now the Greens can demand accountability from the British government, demand investigations
into the Royal Air Force, conduct over Israel's genocide, demand a decouple from Israel, demand
the couple from America for bringing about this energy crisis, demand condemnations,
things that Keir Starmer won't do that the British public has great appetite for, if not great need.
Okay? That's how you can carve out a space for yourself. That's how you can actually be more
impactful
that's why i don't cast aside uh... all of these liberals finally jenny
flechting
to the truth
madiglacias as soon as a o c came out and said
uh... no defensive and offensive uh... weapons at all
ron manuel has asked about it
ronemannuals asked about it and he says yeah
nobody else has the iron dome there are a lot of other countries that want it now
what you can say by the iron domes that that was this was jointly developed
so that's something we have to think through but what i'm saying is you
won't get taxpayer support anymore you're gonna pay full price
you don't have special status
all of a sudden ronemannual is entertaining it right because he wants
to run in twenty twenty eight in madiglacy this is praising it
there are a lot of problems with rom twenty twenty eight but he's the guy most
clearly attempting the Iglesias indoors, go left on Israel and moderate on everything
else strategy. Matt Iglesias is wrong on all of that. Okay? But that's an admission. That's
an admission that he was unbelievably wrong on the issue of Israel. He has recognized
that he was wrong on Israel. And now he is retreating on the issue of Israel. He's saying,
drop it he's urging candidates that listen to him
he's urging candidates
that listen to him to
no longer support israel like this on conditional uncompromising support of
israel is is is a is a dead end
even madiglacias is fucking recognizing that and there's more
there's so much more here the the the genre of of uh... tweets
of liberals in retreat, right?
Where the fuck is it? Hold on.
Oh, my favorite genre of tweets,
one that is more and more common is liberals and centrists
bemoaning the fact that the reality
has vindicated leftist critiques.
Many of us, liberal Europeans, this is for the other thing.
This is another thing that Madaglice had done as well.
When Donald Trump was like,
I'm taking over Venezuela because I want the oil.
And Madaglice was like, oh my God, it sounds like
he read imperialism, the highest age of capitalism.
Like he's, he's making like Leninist, he's, he's recognizing Leninist critique of, of
empire. And it's like, yeah, no shit, dude. It's not because, it's not because Donald
Trump is, is an anti-imperialist and he's just trying to like give the game away. It's
because he's fucking vulgar and he's a dumbass and he's just saying the quiet part out loud.
That's how it works. Many of us, liberal Europeans spent decades pushing back into the European
extreme left cartoon version of America. It's all oil, imperialism, getting rich at the
the expense of others. And then one dumb administration walks in and performs the
uh, caricature to perfection. It's not, it was the correct analysis. And you
recognize that it was the correct analysis now, and you feel a sense of
embarrassment as a professor at London School of Economics for being a fucking
liberal. But instead of making a new assessment and saying, you know what, this
This position, a Marxist critique, an anti-imperialist critique of American Empire was totally
correct.
It was totally vindicated.
And instead of going back to the drawing board and reconsidering the decades of effort
I put into propping up liberalism, and maybe leaning into Marxist critiques, dialectical
materialism, historical materialism, I am going to simply say, oh, it's because Trump
is playing out this cartoonish version. Well, you've all but considered it, right? It's just
verifiably true, right? And we've been saying it for years. It was true all along. It was
true when Lenin wrote about it. It was true when America was the top cop, the world police,
And we said, we're invading Iraq for oil, okay?
It was true back then.
And liberals, on the other hand, still try to maintain this mirage, this image.
They're trying to coat their narratives with the intellectual liberal patina.
Liberalism is wrong, okay?
It has been dismissed.
The events that are unfolding under the humpsmanship of Donald Trump's maximalist empire positions
is destroying the argument for liberalism.
It's done.
One of the biggest implications of this war is how badly Europe miscalculated.
There's another, you know, here's another L for Liberals.
European Liberals miscalculated.
On Iran, they had a real chance to help make diplomacy succeed, and said they aligned with
and enabled Trump's worst instincts.
Now they face a cascading crisis, severe economic shock, a fraying NATO, weakened support for
Ukraine, and the erosion of the very security architecture they built over decades.
Such strategic malpractice by European policy class, it's not even a miscalculation, it's
just like they're, they're calcified in their position. They're comfortable being vassals.
Even if it, even if it's like whip them around over and over again, I mean, that was clear
with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Right? When Russia invaded Ukraine, it completely
destabilized the European energy markets, right? Europe had to go to the United States
America to get its oil and gas. At a much higher price point, they even blew up the pipeline.
And Europe had to sit there and eat it. They did a song and dance. They literally celebrated
energy independence, but not true energy independence. Energy independence from Russia.
Do you guys remember that? The German Techno celebration?
The German Techno celebration, where they're like, oh, we're no longer getting gas from Russia. How wonderful.
Cuck behavior.
shashank joe she says i find is detached from reality nothing europe did or did not
do prior to february twenty eight would prevent a truck from attacking ron in
any case there's at least some evidence that one european country the u k did
support a deal
this is
the long-standing
vassalization of europe it's not new okay
it's not just with iran
and uh... i do understand what that critique is uh... against cina
I don't know how much impact Europe could have had on just Iran alone.
Europe should have had impact on Gaza, right?
They didn't do it.
They didn't even listen to the demands coming from their base.
People were ripping themselves apart, protesting nonstop.
What did the European governments do?
They stayed the course.
They didn't bring Israel to heel.
They did not tell America, we're gonna reconsider our relationship with you if you continue
doing this because it's causing instability domestically, right? They didn't turn around
and say we have too many overwhelming majorities of the population are saying enough is enough.
What do they do? They criminalize protests instead. They arrested people. So did the
Democrats. 3,500 peaceful student protesters were arrested under the Biden administration.
Remember that when people talk about Cuba, by the way, state repression in places like
Cuba, by the way. Okay. Just remember Palestine action was
prescribed as a terrorist organization in the UK. Thousands of
pensioners were arrested in the process for holding up a
placard that said, I support Palestine action. They tried to
make it impossible to protest. They shut off these liberal
values that they supposedly cared about, right? There were many off-ramps for Europe to decouple.
People like myself kept repeatedly saying, if you want to maintain sovereignty as middle powers,
you can get together and you can actually tell America, we are going to, we're going to reconsider
our allegiance to you if you don't do something about this, because our people are recognizing
that democracy is not real. That's a huge problem. So they cast aside even their own sovereignty
and their own ambitions of maintaining stability, maintaining confidence amongst their own base
of support that democracy was real. They destroyed all of that because they were vassals. And here
Here we are.
Whether Europe could have stopped Trump is almost besides the point.
The real question is whether in the months and years leading up to this, they put any
meaningful obstacles in the way or invested real political capital in creating viable
diplomatic off-ramps.
They did neither.
This is true.
At key moments, they had leveraged and used it in ways that fueled escalation rather than
de-escalation also.
True, taken together, part of the story behind the path to this war is one of missed European
opportunities, weak follow-through and, more clearly, clear alignment with escalation.
you start the timeline in 2025, 2022 or 2018, there's a consistent pattern with respect
of the E3 European role.
And just the past few months, the E3 moved in a much more hawkish direction.
For example, since January, Macron has signaled alignment with Trump saying they can do great
things on Iran.
Hassanabi is in LA calling others vassals.
You be a cucked American, where be Turkey in the genocide, where be Turkey?
Yeah, I'm an American citizen.
And I'm trying to do my very best to change the political structure in this country.
What are you doing in Europe?
You have a lot more opportunity to make changes.
It's a much smaller country.
It's not the tip of the spear, right?
It's not the, it doesn't even have the driver's seat in empire.
You can make a much more convincing argument.
the government is supposed to be much more responsive to your pressure, ours certainly
isn't and I'm still trying my fucking best.
So what are you doing?
I mean why do you think every day people yell at me and say I'm a terrorist, a radical,
an Islamist fundamentalist, anti-American, pro-communist, pro-all of America's foreign
adversaries, they obviously see that this is a threat.
They obviously see this movement as a threat.
Even if it's like chipping away at the established bipartisan, uniparty consensus on maintaining
American Empire, I'm trying to do my best and I'm eating it on a daily fucking basis
as a direct consequence of trying to do my best and you are too in this community.
So why the fuck are you complaining?
If you recognize your vassal status, you should do something about it.
You have a lot more opportunity to do something about it.
Anyway, then there's snapback the E3 decision last October to move forward with was a major
escalation.
It closed off a fragile diplomatic opening with the International Atomic Energy Agency
that helps set the stage for future confrontation that was not inevitable.
it was a choice going back to 2022, the same pattern holds. European officials themselves
acknowledged the deals within reach and what remained were political decisions in capitals.
For sure, there were real pressures, i.e. the Ukrainian invasion, the Masa Amini protests,
but they did not make diplomacy impossible. They made it harder and required greater political
investment to sustain. Instead, Europe drifted towards a more reactive and increasingly hawkish
posture. Go back further to 2018 and the bottom line is the same. Every single step of the way
Europe had off-ramps and they didn't take it. Every single step of the way
Europe had an opportunity to put pressure and they did not do that. When
they had an opportunity to apply pressure they did not choose to do so
because they thought American military might will continue, American imperialism
will continue in the ways that it has so far and there's only there's
good reason to try and sustain it. There's good reason to try and step out
of the way rather than to bring it, rather than to, you know, force America to retreat at times
or force America into a diplomatic stature at times. And it would have been helpful for these
European allies, but they didn't do it. New NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutte, Mr, you know,
Daddy, guy who called Trump Daddy, remember, is coming to Washington next week to meet with
with Trump, NATO says the visit was long planned, but Ruta's visit comes as Trump considers withdrawing the U.S. from the alliance.
Yeah, Mertz said, Germany, said Israel was doing the dirty work for us all during the 12-day war.
That was a different time, though, if you recall, because Iran was still maintaining strategic restraint.
only a theatrical response to American and Israeli bombing campaigns.
It's no longer theatrical, it's real now.
It is not in our national interest.
And the most effective way we can support the cost of living in Britain
is to push for de-escalation in the Middle East
and a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz,
moves, which is such a vital route for energy. Brexit did deep damage to our economy, and
the opportunities to strengthen our security and cut the cost of living are simply too
big to ignore. So, in the coming weeks, we will announce a new summit with our EU partners.
And I can tell you that at that summit, the UK will not just ratify existing commitments
made at last year's summit.
We want to be more ambitious.
Closer economic cooperation.
Closer security cooperation.
Oh, you mean like a union?
Huh.
Like a union of what's the continent that the UK is on?
countries? Is that what you mean? Like, uh, I mean, I guess I could shorten it and say,
like a European Union. Would you, would you say that that is perhaps the direction that
you're moving in? Because I can't comprehend what you're saying. It almost feels like you're
You're saying that you want to do a union of countries in the European continent.
How odd.
I appreciate that recognizes our shared values, our shared interests, and our shared future.
And today I can announce that later this week, the Foreign Secretary will host a meeting
that brings those nations together for the first time,
where we will assess all viable diplomatic
and political measures that we can take
to restore freedom of navigation,
guarantee the safety of trapships and seafarers,
and resume the movement of vital commodities.
I've got ITV Harry, Harry.
Thank you very much, sir.
Harry Houghton from ITV News.
President Trump has said this morning
that he's considering pulling the U.S. out of NATO.
You've just talked about looking at a new long-term partnership.
I kind of want to know what the Americans are saying.
Like, do we have, like, what could someone
like a regime dickwriter be saying possibly at this moment?
Like, someone like an Asmongold,
what could he possibly say to defend what's going on?
Are they just reiterating what Trump is saying?
So like one day they're saying it's victory,
next day they're saying Europe sucks.
Like I do wonder how like people
try to propagandize at this moment.
In how many hours of Trump's speech?
It's at 6 p.m., it's at 6 p.m.
With the EU including on security, is this an acknowledgement that Britain's long-term
security relationship with the United States is about to change?
Well, let me share a number of things in response to that.
Firstly NATO is the single most effective military alliance the world has ever seen
and it has kept us safe for many decades, and we are fully committed to NATO.
Secondly, that whatever the pressure on me and others, whatever the noise,
I'm going to act in the British national interest in all the decisions that I make.
And that's why I've been absolutely clear that this is not our war,
and we're not going to get dragged into it.
But I'm equally clear that when it comes to defence and security
and our economic future, we have to have closer tries with Europe.
That's why we had the summit last year.
This year, as I've just announced, there will be a further summit.
There, we will make good on the commitments that we put in place last year.
But we will also go further in relation to the alignment.
Thank you very much, Joe.
President Trump said yesterday that he wouldn't come at the aid of the UK anymore
in this treat social post.
How seriously do you take that threats from our main element?
Well, it's very important that we're clear there's been a good deal of pressure on me
to change my position in relation to joining the war, and I'm not going to change my position
on the war.
So, whatever the pressure, whatever the noise, I'm the British Prime Minister and I have
to act in our national interests.
I should say that on defence and security and intelligence, we're obviously working
closely with the US, as we always do. And in relation to the planning on the Straits
of Hormuz, of course that involves talking to Americans as well. So, as I say, whatever
the pressure, whatever the noise, my job is as British Prime Minister to concentrate on
what's in the British national interest. That's what's guided me through this conflict
so far. It will continue to guide me as we go forward.
Thank you very much indeed. Thank you.
My fellow Australians, by nature, were an optimistic country, but I understand that right now it's
hard to be positive.
The war in the Middle East has caused the biggest spike in petrol and diesel prices
in history.
Australia is not an active participant in this war, but all Australians are paying higher
prices because of it.
I know that you're seeing this at the servo and at the supermarket, and I understand farmers
and truckies, small businesses and families are doing it tough. And the reality is the
economic shocks caused by this war will be with us for months. Tonight I want to speak
directly with you about what the government is doing to shield Australia in these uncertain
times and also what all of us can do to help our country and help each other in the period
ahead. On Monday, National Cabinet adopted the National Fuel Security Plan. Leaders from
both sides of politics, from right around the country, working together to keep Australia
moving, making sure that we are prepared so that if the global situation gets worse
and our fuel supplies are seriously disrupted over the long term, we can coordinate the
the next steps together. Today we cut the fuel excise in half, cutting the tax on every
liter of petrol by 26 cents. Those savings have started showing up at your petrol station.
For our truckies, we have cut the heavy vehicle road use a charge.
You can't be a serious company and fucking call, uh, serious company, sorry. You can't
be a serious country and say things like truckies. For the triadies in the truckies, mate. Fuck
L for the truckies. Yeah. Lefties loosing it is fucking elbow is elbow. Mate for the
truckies out there. Right. For the fucking truckies out there. Right. We're doing all
very best. Yeah. New York Times Trump lied about serious negotiations. New York Times
reports multiple you US intelligence agencies have assessed in recent days that the Iranian
government is not currently willing to engage in serious and substantial negotiations to
end the ongoing war against Israel and the United States.
Assistants indicate that the Iranian government believes it is in a strong position in the
war and does not have to cede the American diplomatic demands.
And while Iran is willing to keep channels open, it does not trust the United States
All President Trump, US officials have told the New York Times,
F*** an L.
Please speak like this in Stanford.
Right?
Or no, the dollar reducer perishing a dingo ate my baby.
I'm f***ing Albanese.
I'm f***ing Albanese.
And I'm here to tell you,
The dollar reduced are on fire.
Many people for the last couple of weeks have been calling me a shit cunt.
I hear you and I have only this to say.
Fuck you.
As a dingo eating your baby.
No.
No.
To zero.
Both these measures will be in place for the next three months.
We are working to bring the price of fuel down, to make more fuel here and to keep it
onshore and get more fuel here, using our strong trading relationships with our region
to bring more petrol, diesel and fertiliser to Australia.
Now it's the Australian way that people want to do their bit.
And there are simple ways that you can.
You should go about your business and your life as normal, enjoy your Easter.
And if you're hitting the road, don't take more fuel than you need.
Just fill up.
Like, that's so funny.
Oh my God.
That is something you never want to hear from leadership is, you know, enjoy your time,
but also maybe take a shorter shower.
Maybe don't fill up all the way.
Like that's a fucking full system panic moment.
That's a red alarm, dude.
That is absolutely going to cause people to be like, okay, what the fuck?
Oh my God, we're so cooked, we're so cooked.
You normally would think of others in your community,
in the bush, and in critical industries.
And over coming weeks, if you can switch
to catching the train or bus or train.
Don't use the fucking fuel.
Work, do so.
That builds our reserves and saves fuel for people
who have no choice but to drive.
Farmers and miners and traders who need diesel
every single day.
and all those shift workers and nurses who do so much for our country.
The months ahead may not be easy.
I want to be upfront about that.
No government can promise to eliminate the pressures that this war is causing.
I can promise we will do everything we can to protect Australia from the worst of it.
These are uncertain times, but I'm absolutely certain of this.
we will deal with these global challenges, the Australian way.
I think a lot of vassal states, if they had any responsibility to their own people, if
they had any capabilities of seeing the situation honestly, if they had any decency whatsoever,
be on their fucking hands and knees thanking China every day that they are not invested
in punishing those who have been loyal servants of empire in the way that like America has
punished anyone for not being a part of its security umbrella for maintaining sovereignty
uh... wall existing in the periphery could you imagine a world of like china
behaved in the way that america did
usually thank your lucky fucking stars that these guys on the opposing side
are actively invested in maintaining stability you know
because if they wanted to dominate they could
you
militarized
because you claim that they wanted to behave like america
you thought for years and years
that the only thing holding them back from behaving like america doing to you
what you have done to them
or what you've played a role in in doing to them
because you thought you had the mightiest weapons it turns out you don't
and yet no one is doing to you
what you have participated in
participating in doing the others
think about that
i'm just saying like there's a lot of bogans in australia that fucking uh...
constantly complain about china
and the only reason why the australian economy is actually thrive in spite of
everything else
uh... as opposed to the rest of uh... uh... the the liberal capitalist western
world is because it's basically peg to the fucking chinese you on right
the australian economy is entirely reliant on the chinese economy all of
the extraction that takes place
Where did those materials go?
They go to China.
And yet, these people still have the audacity to be like,
fuck China, fuck China, fuck China,
China's taking over.
Mike, China's fucking taking over the country, Mike,
fucking hell, don't recognize this beautiful city, right?
You owe everything to China.
Everything, have you said thank you?
Working together and looking after each other, as we always have.
Thank you and good evening.
Hundreds of millions of ha...
You called this all, like you said, all that was needed was courage.
kind of appears to have fallen as he's lead and said he will not support us
funding for Israel's iron dome correct me if I'm wrong here congressman the iron
dome is important to say his lives Israel should be able to buy it on their
own with a 45 billion 45 defense billion budget Israel's a first world
country and it can pay for the defensive systems it needs yeah these guys want to
like still sell Israel iron dome weapons I don't want to I don't want to do that
at all I don't want to give Israel any weapons at all like I just want people
to understand like where I stand on this is not like oh Israel gets to pay for
its own weapons. It's fucking ridiculous that they weren't already. And this will be confusing
for a lot of people. They'll be like, wait, what? We were giving Israel these weapons?
What the fuck are you talking about? No, we should just not give them anything. Now that
the conversation has shifted on defensive, offensive weapons, like I'm here to tell you
what my position is, we should do, we should restrict trade with Israel. We should not give
them any weapons at all, even if they want to pay for it. We should boycott Israel. We
We should divest from Israel.
We should sanction Israel until Israel is a singular, secular, solitary state that offers
equal rights and representation and reparations to all the Palestinians it's dominated and
destroyed the lives of, and a state that actually allows a right to return for all the Palestinians.
That's my assessment.
That's what I believe in.
That's what I want to advocate for, and that's what I will continue to advocate for.
In any case, you know, so step in the right direction.
As long as an Australian is unbelievable, how much Chinese scare propaganda you'll see on TV here is not that people is the Murdoch press.
I know, but it works.
And it's so funny because like, like the, everything that the Australian economy has been able to do is because of China, like everything.
everything. All the while, they've just like hardened their military industry. You know,
they're fucking apart of five laws. They have a CIA surveillance base, smack dab in the middle
of a goddamn country. It's like, it's so funny, like the way that Australia has existed, the way
that Australia has existed, the way that it's moved as a pivotal part of the western imperial
tentacles, right? Like they've been a loyal servant of the West, nuclear submarines,
right? Like all this shit that they're doing. And yet their entire economy is reliant on China.
It's so funny. China is our biggest supplier of jet fuel as well as our biggest trading partner
according to four accounting for over a quarter of our entire international trade.
And this is the country our media and political class routinely fantasize about going to war with
on behalf of America. Yeah. China is called Australia off for jet A1 fuel, kerosene. All
of next month's shipments have been canceled. Normally 12 months, there's one ship inbound.
That's it. China is Australia's largest jet fuel supplier.
This is what I mean like will your stream will your stream be will your speech be streamed?
I'm tired of spamming boss. I need to know dog
I've literally said approximately
754,000 times that yes my speech will be streamed. Yes, not only will my speech be streamed
But I will also come back here to do analysis on Donald Trump's state of the union afterwards. Okay
yes yes yes it's on I always stream my speeches and not only do I always
stream my speeches I also literally have put it in the fucking title it's in the
title chatter oh my god learn how to read
yeah elbow be like politics should only fill half tanks rot if you're a
fucking pilot land to land to preserve the jet feel right we're gonna have some
fucking major shortages might just fill up half the tanker
fucking hell or nor flaw half the time
Notice a manual is focused on the price here on how much it would cost to buy weapons from the US international law
Majorities of Americans are concerned with whether the US whether US weapons could go to Israel at all. Yeah
No, no more no more feel Jit feel please glowed the rest of the way
How hard could it be you just fucking gladden?
You just fucking gladden, mate
just glowed a bit just cake fucking fuck I'm glad in
oh yeah yeah
isn't just something lily livered liberal lawyers invented in the 1990s as as as
as Philippe Lemoine notes, even Genghis Khan understood that shooting the messenger equals
bad news. It seems to just bomb some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat
who's trying to facilitate negotiations, a civilian trying to end hostilities surrounded
by other civilians in their homes. We are completely lost. This is what we're talking
about with the previous Iranian foreign minister, Kamal Karazi. We don't know if he's alive
or dead. And I think the initial report said that his wife might have been murdered in
the process. And this was someone who was trying to facilitate a deal. I suspect this
is Israeli targeting for the record. You know, they are, uh, they're so fucking stupid.
I mean, they just, they need to be punished, dude. They need to, it's not even like a moral
thing. Like they need to be restrained. And the only country that is capable of doing
that other than Iran is the United States of America. Like the most effective, least
bloody way of restraining israel is if america fucking leans in and says enough
okay jesus christ
put the leash back on your fucking dog man holy shit
all the while in israeli domestic affairs while like jewish insider is fucking complaining about
you know, will John Ossoff say something about Hassan Piker or whatever? What is Israel doing?
And it's domestic affairs. They just passed an execution bill, as we covered the other day,
right? They passed an execution bill that only is for Palestinians, okay? They, like,
since not see Germany, there's never been a ethnically, like, a execution bill or a separate
system of punishments just for one ethnic minority. Like they're a race-based execution law.
I guess like apartheid South Africa as well.
Remember, they have 10,000 Palestinians held hostage in their concentration camps right now
under military detention. So they're not even getting a civil trial.
And
Banga veer is posting videos from the fucking execution chamber where you will exterminate thousands of Palestinian houses
Imagine if Hitler broadcast videos of his gas chambers
And then people go oh it's our banga veer is not reflective of Israeli society. Yes, it is
Okay, it absolutely is it absolutely is okay
100%
Ethno exclusivity law is the word you're searching for last implemented in South Africa. Yeah
P.V.S. call us out.

Dude, what?
Thank you for the 25 gifted subs.
Dude, what?
Who are you supporting in the World Cup?
What do you mean, Turkey?
kind of question. Always got to go with the underdog, dude.
Turkey made it to the finals in Kosovo yesterday.
Closed presence. Mr. F, think of the 10 gifted.
Close presence. Thank you for the 50 bones.
And Akiwata, Akiwata, Iiskawata, thank you for the 5 views.

Bro, if you keep going like this, you'll end up shooting yourself in the back one day.
Why has the song been talking so much about politics this last year?
Wouldn't it be better to just focus on being a gaming streamer,
or does he want to go into politics?
politics. He's been talking about politics for over a decade.
His son is a commentator, his humor occasionally plays games. Wow, really?
Yesterday I was in the,
I was asking the comments about what happened with the son and anti-Semitism.
Now it's on CNN.
Watch CNN bashing him during the stream appeared on CNN show after ending the
stream just a few hours apart.
Doesn't make sense.
Just saw global time saying the US wants news media influence to promote a
positive image of America abroad. Is it because of this?
But the Cuba issue was caused by the US first economic sanctions and arresting
Nicolas Maduro leading to the Cuba's oil supply being cut off.
Chinese netizens are always on top by the way. They're so good
How have your numbers been since the attempted media hit job?
pretty good
Blonde Bob, thank you for the 50 gift subs and
John I then thank you for the 10 gift subs. I
Mean my numbers have not changed at all. I think maybe maybe a little bit higher on the concurrent viewership
My subscription account has gone down quite a bit, but that wasn't before that was way before the
the last smear job. And I think that's just like consistent across the board with the
rest of the platform. There is like an economic downturn that people are obviously, you know,
going through. So my self count has diminished. You don't run ads also. Also, yeah, I keep
forgetting to ask for subs too. That's probably another part of the reason. Okay. But yeah,
I guess I'm number four on the Twitch tracker. I don't even know who the fuck this is Christian
Amber who the fuck are these people? Yeah, Jinxie at 101,000 with number one case. So
at number two, it's 71,000 subs. I think I was at number three. And now I'm not I don't
know who this person is. They cooked me. I have noticed that ever since the Iran war started,
my subscription, my subscription count went down. I think the Qatari Oilers have been under attack.
Like low key, I didn't believe it. I didn't believe that I had Qatari Oilers. I thought it
was just a joke but they have been noticeably absent since Iran started launching missiles
at clutter. Yeah. Gazillionaire cries about subs. Wait, what? No, someone asked me about
the fucking metrics and I'm just being radically transparent. What the fuck's wrong with you?
I'm not crying about it. I don't give a shit. Everything's fine.
Americans have been forced to adapt to higher fuel costs in the past month because of what's happening here
I can't even make jokes and shit. It's crazy
Someone will get mad regardless of Africa to Egypt fuel cross across the continent have jumped the steepest rise of around
65% is in Nigeria
One of Africa's leading oil producers all prices here are deregulated
regulated, which means they are determined by market forces and not the government.
Also, the country imports refined fuel products because of its limited domestic refining capacity.
Now, governments are announcing energy-saving measures in Zimbabwe.
They are increasing the amount of ethanol in petrol from 5% to 20%.
Others, like South Africa, are reducing taxes on fuel.
Now, in Ethiopia, this is what we are seeing, people waiting for hours to fill up.
Now, the country imports all its fuel from the Gulf, and it's begun rationing petrol
as shortages hit supplies, and diesel has supply has nearly halved.
The allunation of Mauritius, again highly dependent on oil imports, is low on supply.
A shipment expected in March has failed to arrive.
The government has announced energy-saving measures with stocks just for about 15 to
20 days left.
Now the access to fertilizer essential in food production has also been badly affected.
Now the near closure of the straight-off homeowners has halted one-third of global fertilizer
trade.
Now it's pushing up prices and it's threatening agricultural reels in Kenya and Tanzania.
And finally, with Yemen's Ansarullah Houthi group opening another front in the conflict,
there feels about what might play out here if the Bab al-Mandeb straight could be blocked.
That's the only point of contact to the Red Sea, to the Mediterranean, through the Swiss
Canal.
Now, if this route is disruptive, ships will have to travel around South Africa.
Global food crisis in four to five months due to fertilizer disruptions, potentially.
America will receive a softened impact in the form of inflation. It will be a
significant crisis, most likely, but that will be nothing, in my opinion, in
comparison. That will be nothing in comparison to what, like, you know, the
third world will experience. They are going to have maybe famines.
Real question. Do you think Trump will fail economics 101? Yes.
Potos on Iran. We've already had some very good eyes over there.
Sort of pretty much winding that up. Have to take a few minutes. We want to-
Bro, he keeps saying we're winding that up. I mean, we're winding that down is what
means, right? I swear, G.D. Pondam wants to start a cultural revolution in the United States.
Virgin Nuance economists stop focusing on the welfare state. The American economy is so robust,
war doesn't affect that. Chad Hawk, president, you can't see a doctor because Israel needs more
bombs. Wait, what? Make sure we don't ever have them allow them to have a nuclear weapon.
and because they'll use it and it's so funny that this is just like straight up a lie and
they didn't even achieve the lie goals that they set up for themselves.
It's unbelievable dude.
Like there is nothing.
What is that fucking golden eagle?
What is happening?
Oh my god.
We are so goddamn terrified dude.
see how serious they were with the conventional ballistic missiles. They have thousands of
them. We've blown most of them up. You notice every week it gets a little less, a little
less at us and at our allies. We've had some very good allies over there. We've had some
very bad allies in NATO. I hope you are all watching that, Scott, because we had some
asked and you know we spend trillions of dollars on NATO and when we need them
which we never do we didn't need them here either to be honest I was really
asking because I want to see what they do we didn't even we blasted the hell
out of them the last thing I needed was NATO stepping on our way because they're
not your paper tiger
They're a paper tiger dog your NATO
NATO is an expression of American military dominance
Okay, when you say NATO is a paper tiger
You think that sounds you think like that sounds like you're just shitting on Europe, right?
But you're not when you say Nate it was a paper tiger everyone understands you're saying America is a paper tiger
The only person who doesn't understand that is Donald Trump himself and all the fucking dumbass Americans in general obviously they're delusional
Because the United States can't take care of daycare
That has to be up to a state
We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We have 50 states
we have all these other people who are fighting wars with we can't take care of daycare you gotta
let a state take care of daycare and they should pay for it too yeah we're too big we're doing too
much war i love that he's just like taking ownership over long-standing arguments that people like
myself people like ourselves in the leftist uh community have like advanced and just saying
It's great. It's awesome actually. Yeah, that's right
We're doing too much war. We can't take care of our children. Isn't that wonderful?
They should pay they have to raise their taxes, but they should pay for it and we could lower
To make up but we it's not possible for us to take care of they care
Medicaid Medicare all these individual things they can do it on a state basis
You can't do it on a federal we have to take care of one thing military protection
That's awesome. Oh my God, he literally is saying every, he took my cribbing of the
Eisenhower speech, the famous Eisenhower speech that I always steal from. Whenever I
say every dollar spent on a bomb could have been spent on, you know, a school,
right? It's like stolen from you. It's stolen from your, your productive output.
It's taken away from you
There's an opportunity cost to it all that is the Eisenhower speech
I say it all the time because it's like, you know pretty easy to understand
Meanwhile
This dumb fuck is basically saying that but but also is like a like a pro military industrial complex position
Who the fuck is that for?
It seems the White House may have uploaded that video unintentionally. It's now been made private, but I downloaded it
So here's the full White House feed of the Eastern lunch earlier today.
Trump does sound a bit more candid here than he does in front of reporters.
That's the reason why he's saying all this dumb shit.
And so we'd love to have some help.
Oh, president, I'm not sure that we can.
Oh, that's okay.
You don't want to do it?
Well, maybe well.
Oh, that's okay.
You don't have to do it.
So he gets off probably first minute.
That was easier than I thought.
Then I go up France, Macaron, whose wife feeds him extremely badly.
Oh, might not be a wife, who knows, who knows, they call her Brigitte, I don't know.
It's still recovering from the right to the jaw.
And I say, Emmanuel, we'd love to have some help in the Gulf, even though we're setting
records and knocking out bad people and knocking out ballistic missiles.
We'd love to have some help.
If you could, could you please send ships immediately?
No, no, no.
We cannot do that.
We cannot do that.
We cannot do that.
We cannot do that.
We cannot do that.
We cannot do that.
We cannot do that.
know, I don't need after the war is one. Many of them said we'll be there after the war is completed.
And so I learned about NATO. NATO won't be there if we ever have the big one. You know what I mean
by the big one? We ever have the big one. Hopefully we won't. Relationships very good with the big
one. Better than with NATO. But, but they won't be there. And we spent billions, you know, we didn't
have to go into Ukraine. Ukraine's thousands of miles away across the ocean. We helped them.
Bro, he still, like, he still butthurt about, he still butthurt about having to do anything
about Ukraine that goes against the Vladimir Putin.
I mean, I guess that's understandable, right?
It's kind of understandable.
Because it's like, I get why you'd be butthurt.
You were delivered a failing situation and you have to go up against your bestie.
That's one thing.
But like, I genuinely do think that it's partially a consequence of the fact that like this is
a lost cause.
Like America genuinely doesn't hold the cards here any longer, right?
You can funnel as many weapons as you want into Ukraine.
At the end of the day, if they're running out of manpower, they're running out of manpower.
Very difficult to push Russia back from its hardened positions now, right?
We had a president who's a stupid individual, gave him $350 billion, got nothing for it,
I gave him so much money, so much ammunition, we'll make an ammunition all over the place
because we need it because he gave so much away to Ukraine, got nothing for it.
And I sell them ammunition.
The European Union pays for it.
What the hell, they have to do something, right?
They're good for paying for it.
But everything we sold, we did.
But I just want to tell you, NATO treated us very badly, and you have to remember it,
because they'll be treating us badly again if we ever need them, and hopefully we're
never going to need them.
I don't think we will need them.
I don't think they can do very much.
I actually asked UK who should be our best.
In fact, the king is coming over here in two weeks.
He said, nice guy, King Charles,
but should be our best, right, Brooke?
But they weren't our best.
I said, you have two old broken down aircraft carriers.
You think you could send them over?
Oh, I'll have to ask my team.
I said, you're the prime minister.
You know, no, no, no.
I have to ask my team, president.
my team has to meet, we're meeting next week, next week,
but the war already started next week.
It's not good, the war's gonna be over in three days.
My prediction, it turns out.
By the way, do we have the greatest military ever?
What?
What?
We have the greatest military ever, right?
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
It's been so good.
Thank you, Mr. President.
It is J.D. Vance, he called out J.D. Vance, fat,
right? Oh my God. I think it's really funny that J.D. Vance was very insecure about his looks
after Klavicular said that he was fat and gay and that Gavin Newsom was like way hotter than he
is and that Gavin Newsom mocks J.D. and that they're all voting for Gavin Newsom. Like the fact that
an adult man heard that and it actually hurt his feelings so much that he had to like take action
is crazy. Oh yeah, he didn't just say he's fat and gay, he called him subhuman.
The White House, including Vice President J.D. Vance, I think J.D. is J.D. here? What
is he saying? Is J.D. here? Is J.D. here? Thank you. He's lost weight, he got a little
thinner and I'm looking for, I'm looking for a heavyset gentleman and now I find a perfect,
a perfect looking specimen. Oh my God. All right, do we have the, do we also have the
Artemis launch oh wait the NASA Artemis launch is like right here it's on it's
on fucking here all right we're going back to the moon everybody you know
it's not impressive we're going back to the military we're gonna go check it
out and see what's up there you concur with that yes sir LP concur's go and
And launch director
And uh, C-minus
Ten minutes to launch
And I'm gonna go ahead and just verify everybody has everything else complete
They're holding it ten minutes at the moment, okay
If the call at that time
Unless there's something else to do
It's so funny what chatters are like, dude, you have to watch this
And they're like, it's not even happening yet
And I would like one last check
Not impressive
It's not impressive
I've been there before
We've been there before
Many people are saying
going again is not that big of a deal you know to see this you can see that uh...
foreign
did you watch it
what's impressive is will i ran to be able to go to the moon
i think not
i think not i've done it i'm going to the moon once again they told me it's
unbelievable no one can do it again i said i've done it before
my uncle
as a professor of rockets at MIT.
Many people, including my uncle, said I could be an astronaut.
And he knew rockets like a rocket man.
And it's been amazing.
Our military is so amazing.
I rebuilt the military.
My first time, I didn't know I'd use it so much,
because then you also...
Oh, an admission.
Mr. Peace President, by the way,
I rebuilt our military in my first term.
I didn't know I'd be using it so much.
It was one of the most lethal, incredible attacks
in the history of military period,
not just our military.
It was a strong country, strong military.
If you've ever been to Venezuela,
they have soldiers all over.
Everybody has a soldier's uniform one.
They have tough soldiers, but it was all done in 45 minutes.
The entire war was won in 45 minutes, we set a record.
Just like a fighter gets knocked out
in the first three seconds.
And now we're working with Venezuela
and we've taken in many times the cost of the attack,
many, many times, and we're working with them.
It's like a joint venture and we have tremendous amounts
of oil and we could do that with Iran very easily.
We could just take their oil, but you know, I'm not sure that the people in our country
have the patience to do that, which is unfortunate, you know, they want to see it end.
If we stayed there, you know, I'd prefer just to take the oil, we could do it so easily.
I would prefer that, but people in the country sort of say, just win, you're winning so
big, just win, come home, and I'm okay with that too, because we have a lot of oil between
Venezuela and our oil.
controlling now 59% of the oil in the world and the problem the problem the
problem that we have is we really don't need any more be nice to take it but we
don't need it and we say to Europe and all these countries that do you know
China gets 90% of its oil from the street of hormones chat is not going on
The fuck do you want? They're still holding on this historic mission you take with you the heart of this Artemis team
The daring spirit of the American people and our partners across the globe and the hopes and dreams of a new generation
Good luck. Godspeed Artemis 2. Let's go
And entity launch doctor
Go ahead lunch rector. Yes, sir
You have a go to proceed with countdown. Oh shit. I'm not what I didn't work
CDR entity
Go
The supervisors and initiate short purge per your e-proc 10 dot 1 dot 1 steps 8 and 9
10 dot 1 dot 1 8 is this marketing for the Mario Galaxy movie. Yeah
Yeah.
CBSE entity, start and verify returning to our line.
I don't know if he's ever going beyond the stars, he doesn't know where he's going.
Okay, well there you heard it.
R-SR entity.
R-SR.
Beginning radius, start terminal count.
SNA arm rotation, enable at this time please.
It's currently at T-minus 10 minutes.
Once we wrap up this last bit of work.
SNA arm rotation, enable complete.
We're going to start that clock.
Yeah, thank you.
Yeah.
It's not impressive Katy Perry did it first
Katie Perry she's a real beauty. She's a real astronaut
Alongside Katy Perry
We sent Jeff Bezos
You're gonna stay up there that's what he's very short they check the data
confirmed that they had a good lock. This was with the S-band transmitter on the Orion.
Worked through that issue, looked at the data, and cleared it.
All with the world watching. Impressive work by the launch team.
So, we have a two-hour window which starts in just a few minutes at 6.24 p.m. Eastern
Time and goes until 8.24 p.m. Eastern Time.
And ECL entity will be waiting for your verification on the short purge.
ECL copies.
And for all personnel, once we get that short purge verification, we'll verify that we are
clear to go and then we'll proceed with the terminal count.
Is this April Fool's? Yeah. I mean, it is pretty impressive that we're just like launching
a fucking rocket to the moon. I it's crazy because like I have a rocket scientist. I
It wasn't even like aware that this was happening.
Copy.
You didn't even T-minus 10 minutes?
Yeah, I don't know if that's stuck or not,
or if they actually hit the 10 minutes countdown
in a minute, in a second.
So going into the launch window,
but not by much it looks like.
Just wrapping up some final work.
And once that's completed, you'll hear NASA test director Jeff Spaulding ask for the ground launch sequencer operator to go ahead and start the clock.
The ground launch sequencer is an application software.
It runs on top of the launch control system in the firing room.
It acts like a conductor of an orchestra, executing hundreds of commands in precise order and timing.
It's all autonomous.
Entity, CEL 212, Short Purge, initiation is verified.
All right copy that and we're verifying our constraints
All right, and we're clear from cutouts and with that we're going to resume the clock momentarily and
And CGLS, you can resume the clock on your mark.
Imagine if Donald Trump says the first moon landing was fake,
just so he can take ownership over the only moon landing that has happened under his watch.
It was fake, folks, believe it. It was fake the first time.
I know the president, they told me, they leaked me the secrets.
It was fake, it's real now, but it was fake last time.
We are now counting down to lift off of Artemis II.
I didn't want to say it, but we never made it.
From now on, you're going to hear two voices on the loops.
If everything goes nominally.
Oh, this is not like test director,
that makes sense, that's why it's not as amazing.
He's directly managing the launch team.
And Alex Bendeleus, the JLS operator
who closely monitors the software.
He has the ability to stop and restart the countdown still very impressive just not as impressive as landing
Believe it folks a lot of people ask about whether there's a more landing good
I'm gonna make them land. I'm gonna make them land
I told him get up there take a look see if it's
Confirmation of the exact t06
time. Again, our T0 is 635 and 12 seconds PM eastern time. Joe Biden would have never been able to land. There's no launch button. This is autonomous. But there is a button that keeps you from launching, and that button allows the GLS operator to pause the countdown outside of terminal count and during terminal count and so you get a hold to the next holding point.
won't stop right away if there's an issue, we'll go to the next stable holding point.
This is how GLS configures the rocket and ground systems to a stable point where they
can stop the countdown if that's needed.
But right now, we are counting down.
Our next big milestone looking to retract the crew access arm.
GLS is go for crew access arm retract.
And there you see the crew access arm moving away.
That's the path that the astronauts took to ingress into the rocket.
Until this point, that was their way off the pad if they needed to evacuate.
But now with that arm retracting, the backup transitions to a launch abort system.
And they'll begin arming that shortly.
Of course, the launch abort system, great shot there of the crew access arm retracting
away.
The launch abort system is the tower at the top, and that's what would pull Orion and
its crew off the top of the rocket in case of an emergency, whether it's on the ground
or in flight.
This is critical safety hardware that protects the lives of the astronauts.
Starting at T minus six minutes, the GLS will start bringing that and other high energy
systems online starting with core stage pressurization. I'm standing out while
I'm watching like I'm at the fucking you know I'm at the mission station I'm in
the command center. Trump on the launch he had a take on it. Tonight at 624 p.m.
EST for the first time ever in over 50 years America is going back 90% go.
Artemis too among the most powerful rockets ever built is the
launching our brave astronauts farther into deep space than any human has ever gone.
We are winning in space, on Earth, and everywhere in between, economically, militarily, and
now beyond the stars.
Nobody comes close.
America doesn't just compete with Dominant, and the whole world is watching.
God bless our incredible astronauts.
God bless NASA, and God bless the greatest nation to ever exist.
gets a liquid oxygen tank a little later in the count.
It's just he makes everything he makes.
Patreons feel even more
as we're going to have to get like I feel in D.C.
is celebrating America.
How often is one season to pull celebrating alongside the rocket
in an emergency? Us.
What's the name of that call?
Do you know what I mean?
Like I want to say this is fire.
This is dope.
This is cool.
But like when Trump is like writing like that, I'm like,
eugh, gross.
We're dominating militarily.
What the fuck does it have to do with anything?
dumbass. That's great news. And you heard the NTD verify that with a commander of them.
Oh, my food is here. Holy shit. TLS is go for FTS arm. Now work is being done to arm the
flight termination system. This is so the range safety can send a flight termination
command if the rocket flies too far off track. There is a brief built in delay. So the launcher
the board system has time to pull the astronauts to safety first.
The H2 high flow bleed check.
All right, the high flow bleed check.
That's so the cryo team gets verification that the RS-25 engines,
all four of them are in the proper temperature range for launch.
GLS is go for course stage APU start. Course stage APU start, those are auxiliary power
units, high speed turbines which provide pressure to hydraulic pumps. It's steer the
RS-25 engines. We're going to see a gimbal test a little later at T minus two minutes
in 30 seconds. This is what allows that to happen.
Coming up in about 20 seconds, we're listening for GO for Purge Sequence 4. It's a helium purge of the four
core stage engines downstream of the propellant valve. This gets all the air and moisture out of there.
Moving through the milestones, all is looking good.
Coming up in just a few seconds, we're going to get that thrust vector control actuator
test. This is a gimbling of the engines.
There are the four RS-25s. Three of them. Shuttle heritage. One of them built from
shuttle parts. There you see them moving.
Stop the count. Thank God I didn't miss it while I was getting my food.
Now we're going to start moving the power from both the upper stage and the lower stage of the rocket to internal.
Taking ground power away and now going to battery power.
PLS is go for upper stage.
Our power is removed from the rockets upper stage.
The ICPS and it's been switched to battery. Same milestone for the lower core stage coming up at T-minus 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Right now, a four-person Artemis II crew is 248,000 miles away from the moon.
And if all goes well, they will fly by it in six days.
All right, there's the rocket's core stage, which houses three flight computers, is now
on its own power.
There's no more hold time because there's no more margin on these batteries, so we'd
have to recycle back to T-minus 10 to recharge if we had a hold.
One minute.
Right now the rocket does not know what the T-zero is, but coming up at T-minus 33 seconds
controls shifts from the ground launch sequencer to the rocket's onboard autonomous launch
sequencer or ALS.
The rocket will count itself down, but honor any holds that could come from the ground.
Now, shortly after liftoff, Houston will take control of the rocket and my colleague Gary Jordan will take over commentary.
The rocket did not play a role in this.
Great call-out. The rocket is on its own. Four brave explorers ready to ride the most powerful rocket.

What do you mean? It's assigned to the achievement, Chad.
I don't know.
This is the one area where I don't see this.
I do not see this as a way.
You guys didn't know that about me.
It's not what the guys was like.
Why are we putting a man on the moon? That's a waste. I don't believe that

mission specialists Christina Cook and Jeremy Hansen will start some of the activation of
environmental electrolyte support systems. You may hear confirmation of their activation
over the Orion-to-Earth communication network.
Houston C-3 AUX power back in auto.
Copy C-3 AUX and we're two minutes to maneuver.
over bro said dude this trip takes four to five days I thought it would be a
couple hours to go to the moon
13 minutes and 30 seconds of mission elapsed time we're gonna try to would
to follow the crew of the Artemis II mission.
They are beginning their journey around the moon
to verify the systems that will take us to its surface.
An incredible ascent.
To go to the moon.
As two is underway, Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover,
Christina Cook, and Jeremy Hansen
begin their journey to the moon.
Still milestones to come up as we await solar array deploy
on the critical burns that will get integrity.
It's a high earth orbit around the earth.
Bro, be like, he's right there.
To get us.
I see it every night.
It ain't impressive.
on integrity and its crew from here in Mission Control Houston.
But for now, we're going to change that.
Dude, it is very far away.
And Nicole, at the Kennedy Space Center, very jealous to hear from the experience.
As you can see from here, it is approximately at, from where the, the, where the shuttle
is, 250,000 miles away almost, like 240,000 miles away.
Amazing launch and an emotional one too, as soon as the rocket lifted off, Nicole, you
I had tears in my eyes, and we had all these people around us cheering.
It was amazing.
Yeah, the energy was wonderful.
I mean, it was a beautiful launch, you know, we've got four friends and family members
headed to the moon.
It's pretty amazing.
Yeah.
How does that make you feel as someone who, you know, is an astronaut as well, but also
as you said, friend?
Yeah, so, so proud of them.
You know, man, we don't have the words in the English language to describe this kind
of an event and pride, love, so many emotions, you know, they, they are truly breaking some
And hopefully, you know, as Gary just said, they've got a long day ahead of them, so wishing them well on everything, but so far, what a beautiful launch to watch.
Yeah, to be returning to the lunar orbit in more than 50 years, maybe they go farther from Earth than any other humans before them.
Maybe they see parts of the moon that we've never seen before.
I mean, what a great start to what could be all of these milestones that we break in just a 10-day mission.
mission. Yes, what a way to welcome in the Artemis generation. Yeah, how do you
feel? I mean, we saw some beautiful shots we were covering. Of course, the rocket,
of course, the Earth falling away as we continued up, up, up into our sense, but
also some of those crowd shots where we saw young and old just emotional
overcome by this history-making moment. Man, we are going back to the moon for
all and we saw that today. We saw that in all the crowds and yeah, you guys just
saw that view, the sunrise or sunset,
I guess they just made it over the crest of the earth,
and you could see the sun peeking over.
One of my favorite views from space,
and I can't imagine what they're looking at now,
and I can't wait to see what they're looking at
in about five or six days.
Yeah, and you know, I know a lot of people are like,
you know what, I'm surprised this launched
on the first try, because we know,
like any little thing,
we have to be keeping safety in mind,
and we wanna make sure we're ready to go,
but we were ready to go,
and I think it surprised a lot of people.
What a wonderful surprise on this Wednesday evening.
It did, you know, and it kind of surprised me as well,
but you know, it's just a testament to the team here
that has been working so hard on Artemis.
You know, Artemis one, we learned a ton of lessons.
We learned a ton from the wet dress for Artemis two.
We were able to go in, fix those things.
We even had a couple of mishaps today, not mishaps,
but a couple, you know, anomalies today
that the team creatively came up with solutions for.
It's just a testament to the teamwork
that gets us to the moon.
And so we can continue to watch Christina, Reed, Victor,
and Jeremy on their way now to the moon in Earth's orbit
and awaiting the next in-flight milestones
deploying Orion's solar arrays.
So why don't we get back in
with the mission control and Gary.
Hey, thank you, Megan.
Again, we're following along in the action.
It is a long day.
They have a number of procedures
they need to get to immediately in their timeline.
And integrity Houston, cross-tie is on board for the FCDM.
We copy Houston, thank you.
Cross-tie referring to flight controllers here,
initiating a connection between some of the batteries
on board the Orion spacecraft, allowing for an even distribution of power.
This is the flight control teams that took us through ascent of the Artemis II mission
today.
This is friggin' nerds.
Right now we're, as you see, passing 18 minutes of mission-lapse time.
The Orion spacecraft integrity and the interim cryogenic propulsion system are maneuvering
tail-to-side.
I think it's a Orion it is in this orientation this attitude integrity any words on that momentary
prep caution
and read no action we're looking at it bro that is a shit ton of monitors bro they they
got me be commander read wise men they're these guys are the these guys are the real streamers
You know what I mean?
Shut up. This is what your setup look like in Cuba. Yeah. Yeah, this is what this was my setup in Cuba
That's why I was uh, I was actually stealing all the energy from the orphanage down the street
Like that's why the orphanage did not have any energy whatsoever Dominos tracker
Yeah, I
Was like no energy for you, baby. Sorry
Have you done communist propaganda for the communist government and the baby was like wha and I was like yeah
That's what I thought
You're a counter-revolutionary, baby
Give me all the energy and the babies were crying. They're like we're orphans. We're orphans
We were orphaned by the communist government and I was like yeah
Your parents were also counter-revolutionaries this is what happens and then I ate all the babies food
Yeah, that's that's what happened, you know, and that's what communism is about really.
Pretty much.
Is this a true story?
Yeah, no, the babies were dissidents and we had to do political repression communist style.
You know, New York Times report that Trump is considering axing Pam Bondi.
Oh, nice. Okay. The ship is sinking. Okay. Nice. Jake Tapper's gonna report on this. Oh, me eating the, me eating the food of the orphan children in Cuba.
Speaking of which, by the way, Trump on what he'll say tonight.
Trump says, tonight I'm going to make a little speech at 9 o'clock, basically.
I'm going to tell everyone how great I am.
Beach at 9 o'clock, and basically, I'm going to tell everybody how great I am tonight to
make it a little speech.
That's what he does every time, dude.
That's all of his speeches.
The rocket blew up.
Wait, shut the fuck up.
Are you April Fools in me right now?
up shut up don't even with the deployment confirmed it'll be several minutes until they are what
is called in a latched position once they are latched and confirmed to be drawing power
they can switch the mode to 18 you guys are not funny dude they'll just clip to you eight
all the babies that's right I did I said I said I'm hungry I'm hungry give me all the
babies to eat anyway let's get back to Donald Trump doing
the Easter dinner thing. Trump muses about being a king, apparently, which is pretty
cool. Let's take a look. They call me king now, do you believe it? No king. I'm such
a king, I can't get a ballroom approved. Pretty amazing. I'm a king. If I was a king,
We'd be doing a lot more. I'm doing a lot, but I could be doing a lot more if I was a king.
He's he's still hella mad, huh?
You know about the Stanford D school? No.
He's still hella mad about the ballroom situation, it seems.
Um, I've been doing a lot more.
I like that in his mind, he's doing a little bit.
the
bro said the suit drew ski with a plus weight what
no he didn't
I don't know what I was gonna say about Jake Tapper. All right, let's keep going.
They should be police officers.
I have to change real quick to my outfit for the night.
The outfit that I will be wearing tonight is the Zhangshan suit. That's right.
You've met me at a very Chinese time in my life.
And we're getting ready to get out of there. But they should, all the damages,
we have done such a job that they're really a very weak country. They've gone from the bully
of the Middle East to essentially a weak country. I say you guys, why should we, the
problem with the thing, the strain is they can have one terrorist there with a
machine gun someplace and they'll say oh it's not totally clean, you know, so let
them do it, let France do it, they get a lot of oil from the strain, let the
European countries do it, let South Korea, who is not helpful to us by the way, let
South Korea, you know we only have 45,000 soldiers in harm's way over there
right next to a nuclear force.
Let South Korea do it.
Let Japan do it.
They get 90% of their oil from the strait.
Let China do it.
Let them all do it.
What the hell are we doing it for?
All I want to do is make sure they don't ever
have a nuclear weapon.
And the other thing,
this was not part of what I wanted to do,
but we've done it, I guess,
through sheer force of personality.
We have a regime change,
like nobody thought was possible.
They said, what do you mean you have regime change?
My friend, great show.
I love this guy.
He's so nice to me.
Every time I watch, and I appreciate it.
You know, we're not supposed to be seduced that way, right?
But I am.
When somebody's nice to me, I love that person.
Even if they're bad people, I couldn't care less.
I'll fight to the end for them.
So I appreciate it.
But you know, I mean, I want to see no nuclear weapon,
but we also won regime change is it
amazing what an admission
all my god he's such a fucking loser and he just straight upset it
i spoke with me
the washington post another beauty that's going down the tubes
but the washington post what do you mean you have a regime change you never
did change
we took out the first regime hundred percent that was coming
and
then i said then we
They all met 88 people and they went to pick a new regime
and as they were voting, we took them out
so that was number two.
And now we're dealing with the third group of people
and they're much different.
Actually, they're much less radical
and it's a new regime.
And they said, we never thought of it that way.
We have regime change, we got it by accident.
We actually got it by accident
because I never liked the idea of,
you know, the regime change thing is too complex
to put it down on a wish list
because if you don't make it with me,
If I don't make it there, I end up ahead.
He didn't get the, so I never say I wanted it.
So I never talked about regime change, but we got it.
But we've done an amazing thing over there
and tonight I'm making a little speech at nine o'clock.
And basically I'm gonna tell everybody how great I am.
What a great job I've done.
What a phenomenal job, what a phenomenal job I've done.
But seriously, if you didn't have me,
if you had some different type of a president,
You wouldn't have Israel, I know you're big Israel fans.
Frankly, evangelicals like and Christians is Christians.
I think they like Israel more than Jewish people
like Israel if you want another term.
Truly true, I get so many coming up.
But I don't know when that started.
It did start, not thousands of years ago, I can tell you.
It started, but the love for Israel is great.
You wouldn't have Israel and you wouldn't have
the Middle East either, you would have had
nuclear weapon, it started by taking out Solomoni, then I terminated the Iran nuclear deal that
was given to us by Kurok, you say, and then the B-2 bombers, so that stopped it, and then
the B-2 bombers went and I came back, I had a four-year sabbatical, and then I came back
and we had this unbelievable attack, but we had the B-2 bombers, they really stopped it.
If we didn't hit them with those B-2s, and that was a total obliteration, if we didn't
hit them with the B-2s, you would have had a nuclear weapon.
And the only question whether or not they would have used it in the first hour or the
first day, that they would have used it.
And the Middle East would have been, the Middle East would have been gone.
that's right without me poop explosion until we have their sewer hit no a lot of a lot
a poop-based warfare going on.
The best part of that speech was when he said,
A lot of you Christians, you love Israel.
A lot more than the Jews do.
Unbelievable.
Can you believe it?
You Christians, evangelicals, but also you Christians, you Christians in general, you
love Israel more than the Jews do, I don't get it.
But there would be no Israel if it wasn't for me.
No Israel at all.
Nice fucking suit.
Thank you.
custom-made
Custom-made Taylor suit from straight out of China straight out of China
Bro, he sounds like dementia makes the JD pond on personally fight the slumlord person is crazy
easy. Sue Druski, Erica Kirk. You think old happy Easter. Do we have that everyone happy
anybody that doesn't want on now? Wow. You're doing well, right? Okay. I think you should
But, you know, I told you, you're to sue somebody.
They're so jealous of Erica.
I said, yeah, they're sue.
I can say, you're not allowed to say this.
You have to be nicer.
Sue their ass off.
I think you're farming that suit.
What do you mean?
This is the second time I've ever worn it.
Yeah, you should sue Druski. That's crazy. The president should not know who fucking Druski is.
I guess you're not going to mention anything about Noam's husband. First of all, we covered it
extensively yesterday. Okay. Oh, here's a funny thing about no labels. No labels has taken out ads
on Twitter, both angry at AOC and myself as well.
For those of you who don't know, no labels is supposed to be this, you know, apolitical
institution, right?
It's like a think tank.
No labels leaders have always been pro-Israel, but it hasn't been a big focus of his work
before until recently.
It's not a very labeled issue for either party.
No labels posted this.
Every voter should understand how reckless it is.
Every congressperson of good conscience should denounce that Israel, the only democracy,
the one democracy in the Middle East, is our strongest ally.
And they have been fighting for years to defeat terrorists who hate America.
You can disagree with Israel's actions, but the suggestion Americans should stop providing
defensive weapons is the same thing as saying we should stop protecting innocent civilians
from being hit by rockets.
Is that AOC's actual position?
No labels also has been posting ads all over the timeline of me and Bernard Sanders.
This is the ad that they're running. Senator at Bernie Sanders says podcast or some partners
doing a very good job. This is the same as some part who said America deserve 9 11. The
rape on October 7th doesn't matter. What exactly is very good about any of that vitriol
Senator. They are, this is an ad they're running on Twitter right now. President of No Labels,
Mark Penn is the president of No Labels, C3 ARM, formerly the No Labels Foundation.
His spouse is No Labels, a work founder and CEO. And he attends these strategies and sessions.
Penn is touting his data in AI platform at Stagwell with MAGA donor ice contractor Alex
carp of Palantir. Kind of feels like there's a label on it, right? What do you mean it's
an ad? It looks like a post. Yes. How do you think Twitter ads work, man? Yes, it's a post
they are paying to promote on people's timelines. Numerous people have sent me this ad today.
Senator, Republicans hitting on Ossoff being liked by you. John Ossoff is a new supporter
on a Sompiker, a pro-homosexual who said Americans are 9-11. Why is Ossoff refusing
to denounce biker's support? They're so worried about John Ossoff. He's going to win regardless.
And it's really funny that they think, it's really funny that they think like, oh, tying
John Ossoff to Hassan Piker in Georgia will ruin his chance of winning.
We've never fucking interacted with one another publicly.
Why the fuck should he have to respond to every random Tom Dick and Harry trying to
score cheap points with you?
America's served 9 11.
That was the clear by some part of who now backs John Ossoff.
My campaign is backed by Newt Gingrich, who a leader who fought the whole Washington accountable.
The racist symbol is America versus people who hate it.
Yeah, this is a, I'm telling you right now, dude,
these guys are unbelievably lost in the fucking sauce.
No one gives a shit about this
because people don't know who I am, okay?
First and foremost, people do not know who I am.
Also, Newt Gingrich, gross.
Running around being like, I'm backed by Newt Gingrich
is a is a major mistake in my opinion. This guy came out and confessed that he is tied
to New Gingrich. Do these guys not realize how insane they sound to normal people? Yeah,
they don't. And it's so funny how like, uh, personal this is, this Vendetta mission is,
but it's also funny that, like people on Twitter are the worst people to ask about this because
if you're on Twitter, the owner of the website is a fucking neo-nazi. And he personally hates
me. So there is a lot of, um, there is a lot of, of, uh, anger and animosity, uh, towards
me on Twitter by liberals, by reactionaries, by Nazis and the like. So on Twitter, people
will be like, what are you talking about? He's the most important news story of the
the fucking month, right?
But like to the average person,
they were like, who the fuck is this on piker?
You know?
What is this?
Huge fan of yours, Tim.
You're probably my favorite person in all the media
basically never let me down. Question though, what makes
Candace worse than Hassan? I'd like someone specific, some
specificity possible as TYT Hassan associates are fans of
Candace Owens. Wait, what? The Bulwark fans are living in a
totally separate universe. I mean, I can't speak for TYT
verse why I haven't been associated with you as he says
2020 has been six fucking years. Okay. That's number one.
Number two, I'm not a fan of Candace Owens. What the fuck?
You got referenced on Tucker Carlson. Oh, yeah, I was gonna look at that
They're gonna be like remember when you gave $5 to Candace saying you're a clandestine operator. I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna you know
I'm gonna instigate
Of course, I'm gonna do that best use my $5 thus far
just so noise they always think too collectively right and so I saw a bunch
of people going turns out he was right or he was the good guy and you're like
no no no that is not the takeaway from this like you know there was that that
one time the guy Hassan Piker who's like a lefty lefty like a streamer and he
had said that America deserved 9-11 and that was like what got him in a lot of
trouble for it. And it's like, you know, stop speaking like a leftist. We're not, we're
not collectively, we're individuals and the individuals who had nothing to do with these
policies.
That's the funniest criticism of that commentary that I've ever heard. I'm criticizing Hassan's
America Deserve 9-11 comments, even though I understand what he meant by it. I'm criticizing
on the virtue of how collectivist his speech was. That's awesome. It's like, it's the
funniest is the funniest criticism I've ever I've heard criticisms of that
commentary for years right since 2019 when I said it they're scared of their
audience is saying it's honest right yeah I've been seeing a lot of that
actually a lot of snicko's audience as well and even snicko himself what's
what's funny is they think like I've changed my position it's not you like
I this is my I've been a consistent anti-imperialist for my entire professional media career
If anything you're kind of arriving at my conclusion that like the Republicans that you voted for
Were lying to you right the Republicans that you were voting for were were total charlatans
But I have been seeing a lot more people be like oh
I kind of understand where a song was coming from not on the 9-11 shit because like people I think people
volunteer like people deliberately misunderstand that because that's just
blowback everybody fucking gets it there's academic consensus for it
that's one thing but I do I do see a lot more people being like oh I kind of
understand what a song was saying the song the song's actually been kind of
based on this wrong stuff dude it's like kind of weird like yeah no shit dude no
fucking shit what is this you probably saw this dude I hate to say it like how
What the fuck is it that someone like Hassan piker is about to say that he's getting it
right.
Hassan piker is on the right side of this issue.
I like Osmond gold.
I don't know.
I don't know how to feel about this.
I don't know how to feel about Myron Gaines being on my side on this issue.
But yeah, it's just like strange that many, many right wingers are now.
Many right wingers are now being like, yo, Hassan is actually kind of right about this
stuff's crazy. Yeah, man, I'm actually anti-war. Welcome. Welcome to hearing an actual anti-war
perspective. It's also funny when they pretend to be having a hard time recalling your name,
you know, full well they know your name. I don't know. I mean, I don't know if Dave knows
who I am. Why are you wearing the Zhongxiang while streaming? Just for fun with the occasion,
I'm going to be delivering a speech later that right wing audience things you change because they think you became anti-semitic like them
They're completely misunderstanding it. Yeah, it's so funny that like they're their worldview is based on
You know voting for Republicans and just like arriving at maybe a correct conclusion about like
Being critical of American imperialism, but not on the basis of like death destruction violence
But more so because they I don't know they're just arriving at that like anti-semitically somehow. I
I I don't know. I don't know what the fuck these guys are on. Oh
My god, is my speech gonna be streamed tonight slash s. Yes, I don't
Believe they are fully aware right because I think they're just amplifiers for the same propaganda
Most Americans fall for even edge lords have some self-reflection. I just thought it was interesting
They're like shooting on as many gold or they're like, oh, I really like as many gold
I still like as many gold, but he's just like been kind of weird on this Iran stuff
Trump just said on stage he's saying that he likes to keep losers around him because it makes him feel better about himself
To see losers. He doesn't want successful people so that he could talk about his success
How can you still support him and you're right the right wing is completely subverting?
This is why I think it makes a good there's a good argument to vote for Gavin Newsom in 28
But again, this supports my I've been saying this the whole year that it's not about right and left. It's about right and wrong
Aligning with these sort of ideologies where they can say like oh
Oh, are you like a liberal who loves Iran?
This is how people become brainwashed
and become part of a mental cult
to prevent themselves from seeing the bigger picture.
Almost everybody in the right wing is incorrect.
Like there's no alignment I find with these people.
This is the biggest issue.
And to think that we have something in common
because we both talk about transgender issues or LGBT
is incoherent.
I don't think that there's any sort of basis in saying,
I'm right wing, I'm left wing,
Because why is it now that Hassan Piker is on the right side of this more than
anybody in the right wing?
We've been ideologically against them for so long on many issues,
but in this he's correct. And I called him out. I said, like,
look, you're calling me a Holocaust denier. Even though, you know,
they're lying about the 30,000.
It's just like, this is what I mean. It's like, I'm not,
I'm not, and I will never be a denier of real events.
Okay, it's not even because like oh the holocaust has like special status or anything
It's just like objectively stupid to look at one of the most well-documented atrocities of all time and just to deny its existence
right
Yeah, no and then he says oh they're lying about iran you know that they're lying about the 30 000 number in iran
Yeah, there's a difference brother like
Yeah, I understand that just because Israel now or even America now lies about certain
things in order to justify military intervention doesn't mean that like atrocities in the past
are also fake.
Right?
I just don't, I don't know, I don't understand it.
Like a fundamental worldview that I have
that I think many people misunderstand it
is that I believe that ideologies,
no matter how dangerous can be changed, okay?
I believe in rehabilitation.
This is the attitude that I have consistently
across the board, even if someone is a fucking Zionist,
even if someone is a Nazi, right?
I believe that people can change.
I believe that people can better themselves.
I believe that people have that capacity.
OK?
If I didn't believe in that, I wouldn't
be doing what I'm doing.
And what's frustrating about this process is that even
those on the left don't comprehend that.
Oftentimes, they don't realize that that's
a fundamental principle that I abide by.
And it anchors my worldview.
And it's very frustrating when they're like, oh, why are you
saying like this person is salvageable or savable. It's like, no, I care about who you
are now, you know, the collection of experiences that you've had that led you to being the
person that you are. If you overcame your previous programming, then I'm gonna fucking
defend you, right? When people hear that people can be rehabilitated, they think of cancer
Okay, well, they're stupid. Who cares?
Anyway
Um, where was I?
Uh, the history of media literacy illiteracy of the broad American public is so much worse than anybody knows. Yeah
I have to deal with it on a daily fucking basis. I mean here here is one of the
primary reasons for that Fox news, the five with Jesse waters. Okay. He has a lot of options.
I have no clue what he's going to do. Uh, NATO, let's just say I'm very disappointed.
Need we go through how much they owe us? We saved them twice from world wars. We bailed
them out with the Marshall plan. We even lowered our tariffs to zero so they could recover for
decades. And then we helped them out with Ukraine. And all we want is a base. All we
want is airspace for a little bit to knock out the world's number one sponsor of terror.
They can't give us that. These missiles are in range of their capitals, not ours. They
get their oil from that straight. We don't. The least they could do is say, okay, and
deal with the domestic blowback. But to say no, well, like they're a cop following growth
with cynicism is why so many people get deterred from the left, especially the online left is.
I mean, I think there's a bunch of different reasons why people get cast aside, but I don't
think that we're putting our, you know, best foot forward when we're communicating our worldview
to as broad an audience as possible. I mean, you're kind of murdered because they can't even
sustain four weeks from it. Like I'll give you an example, right? I'll give you an example here.
So one argument that I made the other day that went like kind of viral, that was critically
panned by every Marxist-Leninist, Maoist, every, you know, every theorist, right? I was talking about
imperialism. Okay. I was talking specifically about how Western imperialism doesn't benefit those who
we crush under our boot, it doesn't benefit those who are actually doing the crushing,
and it doesn't benefit those in the Imperial Corps, right? And especially this version of
like a financialized capitalism, there is very, there's diminishing returns in general. It's
like late-stage capitalism, if you want to call it that, right? Having said that, yes, obviously,
Obviously, when you're living in the imperial court, you do have tremendous benefits.
This is something that I readily acknowledge.
It's something that I understand.
It's the truth.
But what's frustrating to me is that while I'm trying to make an argument to Americans
who are constantly lied to that if we blow up Iran, your life's going to get better,
always got to be leftists who turn around and shove the words back in my
mouth to like I guess try and convince Americans that like imperialism is
beneficial if you're living in the imperial court you should know that
you're in a beneficial standing so what you want them to continue advocating for
Western imperialism then you know what I mean this was my take I said Western
imperialism doesn't serve the people it subjugates and destroys it doesn't
benefit the people carrying out the violence and it doesn't benefit the
people living in the Imperial Corps. It only benefits capital. It's time to do away with
empire and focus on ourselves. It's obviously inhumane and immoral, but even for the most
self-interested Americans, the question remains. Each dollar spent on a bomb that hit a school
overseas could have been spent building schools in my neighborhood. How does killing the children
of the periphery benefit my children? Right? It does, though. There's no reason to lie.
See, this is what I mean. A lot of you, I think, are unfortunately too autistic for
your own good. And that's why I do what I do and you do what you do. Do you see what I mean?
So, like, that's the, like, what's the argument? You want to go to like a random guy
living in West Virginia and be like, actually, you are taking advantage of Imperial super
profits just so you know. I know you live in a fucking trailer park and you haven't gotten like
dental work ever. There's no hospital in your fucking neighborhood. So God forbid something
horrible happens to you, you might have to get medevac by helicopter, okay?
But you're actually, you're actually literally fucking eating the imperialist
of province. I'm from the Third World, so it's just insulting. Okay, then shut the
fuck up, okay? You know, then shut the fuck up. This is my point. I'm trying to
fucking get Americans to be more restrained in terms of expansive Western
empire, so they don't come knocking down your door and rape your fucking family
members but you're over here being like no actually we have to be sincere about
this what do you what what purpose does that serve do you understand my point do
you understand my anger here what purpose do you think it serves to tell
some American living in like horrible conditions that technically the exchange
value for their fucking labor goes a much longer way in the first world as a
as a direct consequence of the imperial domination that American and Western imperialism is subjected
to the Third World to, that it's infinitely harder to live as a poor person in the Third
World as opposed to the poor person living in the United States of America.
Do you want them to sit there and fully comprehend that point so they can be like, oh, I guess,
you know, while I am suffering and I am poor, as a matter of fact, I guess the imperial war
machine must continue to dominate the rest of the world because I get to have cheap treats.
Do you think that's a productive argument? Because if the goal here is to convince those in the
Imperial Corps that this is not a beneficial process for them at all, and plus it's not a
beneficial process for them, then what comes next would be a beneficial process for them
if we didn't just like retreat and then maintain capitalism, right? How about advocating for a
a better world for everyone. Man, shut your bitch ass up, dude. Goddamn. How about fucking,
yeah, La La Land, dude. La La Land. Have you met an American? Do you know how fucking
hit Larry and they are? The fuck's wrong with you? Yeah, dude, I'm going to go fucking tell
Americans like, oh, these people that you're scared shitless of that you've been told are
like trying to come to this country and like rape your children actually are, you know,
worthy of dignity, like that's gonna fucking work. Americans are selfish, you
have to talk to them, this was the argument that I was making, you have to
talk to people where they're at, you have to talk to people with the language
that they understand, okay?
Yeah, I should go tell, I should go tell people that you know we should be just
fucking singing kumbaya to the most selfish people on the fucking planet who
God, you're such a weirdo to let this who disagree with you. This is not. This is not. Why is no one allowed to disagree with you?
This is not a disagreement. This is someone refusing to understand the argument that I'm making, okay?
Many people here do understand it.
Ironically enough, I was just talking about propaganda and how to do successful propaganda and how to do unsuccessful propaganda and someone
immediately chimed in.
Do you understand?
In any case, the alternative mode here is not a capitalist imperialist nation to go into
retreat and maintain capitalism, because yes, if that was the case, then yes, those in the
imperial court would be in a much worse position overall.
The alternative to that is to abolish capitalism, okay, is to restructure society and reorganize
our economy in a socialist manner. And therefore, all of the exchange value
diminishment that you experience living in the imperial core, you end up gaining back again
because of a socialist mode of production. So technically, I'm not even wrong with this statement.
Anyway, it was good, um, it was great, yeah, I'm from a third world country, I get your
point is frustrating, but we need to talk to people with different point of views where
there as so we can get a point across yeah ironically enough I'm also referencing
Iran here too which is why it's so funny it's like yeah dude doesn't develop a
country to that we fucking dominated this is me trying to make an argument to
selfish Americans that these kinds of violent desires do not actually end up
benefiting people and there were like a million fucking quote retweets repeating
shit that I know already being like you see actually what you should be doing is
explaining to the to the fat treat the rights in America that are the most
selfish people you've ever fucking encountered, that they actually do
benefit tremendously from white supremacist Western imperialism. Okay, great.
These men are the most people in the Imperial Court own homes. The vast majority
of us laborers own capital to form a real estate large investment portfolio super wages
this year don't pair it 19th century analysis do the work and see in any case those the
The imperial super-profits are not being redistributed anyway, especially because we don't even have
a normal labor function any longer.
Finance capital has completely changed the dynamic in its entirety.
With finance capital, you don't necessarily need a labor force anyway, and therefore people's
quality of life is diminished in spectacular fashion.
Yes, due to imperialism, obviously those in the global south still end up suffering a lot more.
I think you spent too much time worrying about people whose minds will only ever be changed
by natural consequences of an inadequate ideology? No. I think I spend the right amount of time
on it. That's my job. How cold is it outside? Okay, so I don't need a jacket on top of this,
is what you're saying. Reuters confirming what Trump's speech is about, okay? Trump set to
declare U.S. war goals in Iran accomplished, telling Americans the mission is essentially
complete he's expect the outline plans to wind down the conflict within weeks and slam
NATO for what he sees the lack of support during a speech tonight okay okay that's not
bad I mean this is good it's a it's an admission of defeat it's a spectacular retreat right
that's good that's not a bad thing it's a good thing we should just if this isn't just
a market play, which it very well could be. And given how he operates, it very well could
be a market play. It could be perfidy. It could be, you know, claiming that there's
an off ramp here only to turn around and like invade Iran militarily with boots on the ground.
Right. It could be the case. His troops are still obviously amassing in the region. Um,
But, you know, we should just all collectively get together and do make-believe.
How long is the Stanford speech?
Because Trump's stream is in an hour and 30.
Yes, my speech at Stanford is going to be at the same time as Trump is speaking.
If you don't want to fucking watch my speech, you don't have to.
I will be watching the Trump speech immediately after my speech is over.
Okay?
I already foresee this being a massive nuisance.
Okay?
All signs point to me not doing the speech tonight, especially considering that the school
literally changed exactly where the speech was going to be, refunded people's tickets,
put us in a much smaller room, and also originally it was supposed to be like an empire in decline.
That was going to be the conversation was going to revolve around like the occupied
people's right to resist.
There was potentially going to be a debate with the Zionist professor.
No one actually was down to do it.
So, what is it?
So, a lot of stuff changed around, but do not worry.
After I'm done with my speech, I'm going to come back here and I'm going to continue
with my broadcast.
I'm here at one of Europe's largest gas storages near Amsterdam.
Here gas is stored underground for wintertime, but this facility here is only about 12% full.
Companies usually start filling these storages at the start of April, but now buyers are
reluctant due to high prices and with the weather not getting any warmer, these storages
are getting emptier every day.
Europe imports around 85% of its natural gas.
The European Union made gas storage mandatory after 2022, when Russia's war with Ukraine
triggered shortages.
But the rule that all EU countries should fill their gas storage depots by 90% by November
1 was relaxed last year after it drove up gas prices.
The result is that, at the end of March, gas storage facilities across the EU are now
only around 28% full, compared to 33% this time last year, and 58% the year before.
In Germany, storages are now only 22% full, compared to 29% in 2025, and in the Netherlands
they are extremely low at only 5%.
Still the key message in Europe is not to panic the EU hopes that these underground storages
supplying one-third of gas consumption in winter will still be filled and if not
governments will have to dig deep into their pockets to buy expensive gas. A
price consumers will face in their energy bills. We say remain call-headed,
let the market do its work, but make sure to look at emergency scenarios. We
therefore recommend the government to look into the option of using so-called
cushion gas needed to keep the pressure inside these storages as a last resort
in case of an emergency.
Brussels warns Europe could soon face a severe energy crisis
and is calling on EU citizens to save energy.
But so far, countries like the Netherlands have not followed this advice.
If gas storage capacity isn't increased soon,
Europe could face shortages,
especially if the war between the United States, Israel and Iran last longer
and gas supplies remain low.
Stabfasten, Al Jazeera, Bergmeer, the Netherlands.
Joining us is the Secretary of State himself, Marco Rubio, as well as Mr. Secretary, thank
you for taking the time.
I know you're busy and you got a lot on your plate.
Can we start with the question for those Americans that may not understand why now?
I want to go through this in great specificity and detail about the necessity of this.
Now when the Middle East envoy, Steve Whitcoff, came on this program and explained that the
Iranians would not negotiate the issue of giving up their nuclear weapons program, bragged
about 460 kilograms of 60 percent of rich uranium that could be turned into weapons
grade 90 percent in seven or 12 days.
At that point in time, it seemed inevitable to me.
They were going to, in spite of midnight hammer, they were going to cling to that quote, inalienable
writers they called it was that the tipping point
well was one of the tipping points i mean part of the tipping point is the fact
that iran's been doing this for forty seven years we know what this regime is
all about i always say a lot of me be clear i'm not talking about the people
of iran the people of iran don't even look like this government of this regime
this is a regime that is led by radical shea clerics by people who believe
that it is their calling i know this sounds fantastical but it's absolutely
What is this breaking? The OJ announces Farah enforcement action against APEC and unexpected moves this evening? No, there's no, it's April Fools.
You guys are so dumb.
Dude, that would never happen, especially not under this administration. Are you out of your mind?
APEC getting hit with Farah?
Yeah, right.
Trump will get fucking assassinated before you do that.
True. This is a regime led by people who believe. Yeah. My favorite is when they say tipping
point for 47 years or Iran was an imminent threat for 47 years. And it's like those two
things can't be corrected at the same time. You can't, it can't be a country can't be
an imminent threat. Cause imminent implies like a immediacy. You know, you can't be a
minute for 47 entire years. It just kind of undermines the point you're making.
And it is their calling and their purpose in life to usher in the end of the world.
These people want nuclear weapons.
Why do we know that?
God, everything that they say about Iran fits Israel so perfectly.
It's one of my most.
It's like the thing that annoys me the most is like, oh, we can't have a blood thirsty
psychopathic country that like constantly wants to expand their territorial ambitions
that are run by like religious nut jobs, have nuclear weapons.
like that's Israel you've just described Israel okay you did not describe Iran in the way that you
think you're describing Iran you're just describing Israel you might be even describing America really
I mean that image of Trump comes to mind where he's in the White House and everyone's like touching
him like he's a fucking religious deity or something like anytime these guys talk about the
the dangers that Iran presents. I'm like, well, that's the danger that Israel is right
now. Please stop saying anyone would get assassinated, even as a joke, you have a microphone, microscope
on you, on you already.
Because they are assembling all the things you need for nuclear weapons. They're assembling
long range rockets that can eventually reach the United States, can already rain.
They're not. They're not. They should have.
Bill versus Mike Rogers, GOP upon it. You're campaigning with the guys at American Reserve 9-11.
How many Americans did your opioid legislation kill? Mike?
American commanders just said that this war with Iran was meant to spark Armageddon and bring Jesus back.
true they did do that yeah yeah here I can I fly I could flip it hold on what
the fuck why isn't the camera working oh why isn't it working yeah the laptop
one's not working for some reason. How do I fix that?
Windows settings.
Yeah, like camera access your microphone. Yes, like camera access
your camera. Yes. But Windows access your location. No.
See something went wrong
No, no, but I need to fix it anyway, what the fuck gotta get a Mac
I want to fucking put you on a spaceship, but this time not to the moon, but to the Sun
Okay, I want to put you on a spaceship to the motherfucking Sun. Are you going outside? Yes
Yes, I don't know why my camera is not working.
That's weird.
Alt F4, y'all are so funny, bro.
Oh my God, I love having a community full of comedians.
It's my favorite thing to have a bunch of comics in the community.
Device manager enable your laptop camera.
Hopefully that works. Let's see.
Cameras, cameras, cameras. Integrated camera. Yeah, there it is.
You need to restart your computer. This device is working properly.
It's not. It doesn't seem.
No. Your hardware settings have changed. You must restart. Do you want to restart your computer now? No.
Fuck.
I know, but I don't want to help now. Yeah, because you're a comedian. You're not an IT guy. You're a comedian.
So clearly. Open the shutter. It's not, it's not a... Sometimes there's like a button that like...
My favorite is when people go, hey, you should reinstall, you should install Linux, like
that's what you should do.
You should like change everything you've ever used in your entire life right now, like
right at the very moment, you know?
Yeah, it's not even reading.
It's not even reading the integrated camera.
I understand it's not your format, but I wish you'd do a stream void of chat. It would be glorious. Yes, I agree.
I agree. Um, can you see it in OBS or no? No, I can't see it in OBS. I don't know why.
It's not showing up. The integrated camera is no longer showing up in OBS for some reason.
What? Am I on our IEEE? What? Yeah, I can't do that.
Things are heating up in Bahrain. Okay, great. Well, things are heating up in my fucking computer,
and no one is actually being helpful at all. So, what is this?
Oh my god, here it is. He said it's not, it's not actually
retreating. Trump's speech tonight will inform the public that we may require the use of ground
troops to round up uranium in Iran. They're saying you're fake if you don't recreate this.
okay dude there's a button on your keyboard that turned the camera on and
off I don't think so I don't see it I looked for it I don't see one it's not
it doesn't exist I don't think do you see it no I was looking at that but I don't
see it
Info on you speaking at SF Law tomorrow? No, I have no information on it. Disabling
this device. Integrated IR camera integrated camera. Oh, it's trying to get me to fucking
restart my device. Oh, it's not going to happen. I shouldn't have disabled it. Okay, well,
not going to work. So we're, yeah, we'll, we'll do it. Are we moving now? What? Oh,
they're getting us early. Okay, let's just keep going here then. And then I did not have
the coming practice of windows in the world to get killed you know you don't
do the whole but now what osama ben laden said i don't think this was in the
letter to america i think it was in it might have been it was either that or in
his declaration of war he had two declarations of war against america also
but what he said is that civilians are fair game because you vote for the you
know you vote the bill clinton's in the george bush is in who slaughter all of
our children and so your fair game now that's the logic of osama ben laden the
psychopathic
You know terrorists and that's and the whole point of why we're against all this shit is because we reject that
We don't agree with that. That's not and you know who else use that same logic every goddamn Zionist who said they elected Hamas in God
Yeah, like Osama bin Laden and in al Qaeda and Zionists have a
Similar attitude. I don't know why he like slammed me into this conversation
I don't know why he brought me up.
Sending America's a die for Mark Levin and Benjamin Niyahu while Jewish insider covers
the flanks trying to cancel anyone who opposed it is anti-Semitic.
What could possibly go wrong here?
A big advocate for Iran raid is Fox News host Mark Levin, a pro-Israel advocate and Trump
whisperer who has been telling viewers the US should deploy specialized ground troops.
Why would we need troops on the ground?
Well, there's a lot of reasons to say Saturday.
It turns out, when Donald Trump said, it turns out, wait, wait, he just keeps talking about
it.
Will the Stanford speech be sure me anywhere?
Yes, on this broadcast, I'm gonna fucking Brian kill me.
Yes.
By the way, they don't even have regular elections in Gaza.
They had one election 20 years ago, where Hamas won with pluralities.
But that was enough for them to say, hey, yeah.
So so no the whole point is that no it doesn't you don't have the right to take vengeance on innocent people
That is the standard of civilization. I
Have said that you know pretty consistently for the past couple of years and yeah, I don't know why he just like brought me up randomly
we'll talk about
911 like the addition of my that my mention was it utterly irrelevant to the point he was making but
All right, let's keep going.
Sure.
We saw them demonstrate two of them last week, despite denying that they had them.
They enriched uranium to 60 percent.
As you pointed out a moment ago, from 60 to 90 percent, which is what you need for a bomb,
takes 12 to 14 days.
They bragged about-
Why no info on the event tomorrow?
Is it canceled or should I just pop up at SF Law?
Organically, Jamie, I don't know.
I don't know what to tell you, okay?
Why do you think I'm the customer service?
I'm sorry.
I don't know.
of the event are. What do you want me to do? Call up the school right now and be like,
organically, Jamie really wants to attend the San Francisco Law School event I'm doing.
Could you please help her out?
Still having that. They demand the right to enrich, which is how you get from 60 to 90%.
They're the leading sponsor of terrorism, not in the region, in the world. They can never
be allowed to have a nuclear weapon, which is what President Trump made very clear from
the very first day of his presidency.
In fact, from the very first day of his candidacy, when he came down that escalator in 2015,
he talked about this.
He's actually been talking about the threat of Iran before he was even a political candidate.
And as president, he was not going to allow Iran to pose a threat to Americans now or
future generations of Americans.
So we had to act.
And with very clear purpose, we are going to destroy their air force.
We have largely done that.
We were going to destroy their navy, which we have largely achieved that.
We were going to destroy a significant percentage of them.
Not a single thing that these guys talk about as far as like receiving or achieving military
objectives is correct, by the way.
It's unbelievable.
Not a single thing.
They talk about dismantling the Iranian navy.
The Iranian navy that exists is not dismantled, okay?
It's like little gun boats and most of them are like underground and tunnel systems anyway.
They talk about, they talk about like destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities, which they claim
they already destroyed.
And now they're saying, well, they're still enriching uranium.
We got to extract it.
I just don't understand.
I do not understand how people eat the shit up when they're not even doing a good enough
job.
missile launchers, we are well on our way to achieving that.
And we were gonna wipe out their defense industrial base, meaning the factories that make the
drones and the missiles.
We are on our way to doing that.
Those were our four objectives, because those were the four things they were gonna hide
behind to then develop a nuclear weapon and threaten the world if they tried to do anything
about it.
That was not gonna happen under President Trump.
We are well on our way, we are on or-
This is zero, oh yeah, the high risk plan is to ease Iran's uranium and command array that
that would require building a runway in Iran
and dropping an excavation equipment
amid incoming fire, came at Trump's request,
signaling his interest in the complex operation.
This is Zero Dark Thirty.
Uranium plan is so goofy.
Everyone knows they can't possibly get it all.
The best is it's a delusion slash distraction
for our idiot president,
and worse the pretext for a regime change invasion
designed to create hostages and deaths
to rally public sentiment.
Like I think whoever we send,
Whoever we send from our, you know, hard-dicked Marines in the military, we are sending to
their death or we are sending them so they are kept as hostages by the IRGC so we can
make a stronger argument.
We can try to like muster up the courage and galvanize the public, get more support from
the public.
But it also has a capacity to backfire because those family members could come out and be
like, well, what the fuck are you doing?
Why did you do this? You sent my son to go, uh, uh, you know, to go die for Israel. It's fucking ridiculous.
It's a total meat grinder situation and it does not make any fucking sense.
You know,
I had a schedule on each of those four objectives, and we can see the finish line.
It's not today, it's not tomorrow, but it is coming.
We are going to get to the point where our military will have achieved all of its objectives
in this mission, and they're doing so with extraordinary efficiency, something that I
think will go down in history as one of the best run tactical military operations in modern
times.
We'll get back to that timeline in a second because it's both you and the president have
said weeks, it's not going to be months.
One thing I think we've learned, and if you can expand on this, because if you have nuclear
capability, you also need the delivery system.
Prior to Epic Fury, you felt, and you were arguing that, and the world has always underestimated
Iran's abilities, whether the nuclear capability or ballistic missile capability, and you felt
it was too dangerous a threat not to address in this operation ballistic missiles and the
nuclear threat at the same time.
So now we've discovered that they have the ability in the range that is much further
than we had thought going into this.
Apparently they now have the capability in the range that their missiles could reach
Paris, London, is that true?
That's correct in fact, but they denied it.
Ever, anytime you hear Iran, you know, you had an image a moment ago of this guy, a
Rachi, their foreign minister.
This guy is a liar.
This guy was on television like a week ago, two weeks ago, denying that Iran had any missiles
that could go beyond a certain limitation.
And then they fired two of them.
Now we don't think they have many of them, but they are soon to have many of them.
We've destroyed and are destroying the factories to make those things.
Those things, the ones they launched the other day, could reach Wall into Europe, and actually
they had fired it on Diego Garcia.
of them fail. One of them was shot down. Yeah, we must be hoping for a taco tonight.
Okay. Against all hope, I'll be praying for a taco of epic proportions tonight. A taco
beyond anyone's imagination or even comprehension to declare victory at this moment would be
so bold, so insane. It would stupefy the world and allows it withdraw from the Middle East
forever before anyone can process it. Abandon Israel, Mr. President. Leave our pointless
bases behind. If no American soldier sits foot in the Middle East for a thousand years,
it'll be too soon. Shatter the global order. Do untold damage to American prestige. Bring
the global economy to the brink of disaster, accomplish nothing of value, and declare victory,
sir. If anyone can do it, it's you. Because the irony is, this is the best worst option.
Okay? There are a range of probabilities here. There are a range of significantly worse options
here, all of which revolve around boots on the ground. And perhaps the worst of all is
use like nukes, okay? But this totally, like this tactical retreat from getting bloodied
by the IRGC's missiles will be the best worst case scenario, okay? And you might as well
call it the best case scenario. If Donald Trump tacos tonight, fantastic, okay? American
uh... military dominance is is
has taken such a spectacular hit
that it will most likely never recover from that okay
but at least it won't lead to uh... infinitely more
uh... violent outcomes
infinitely more violent outcomes for the iranians and infinitely more violent
outcomes for the americans
And virtually everyone around us, right?
Because if Donald Trump tonight actually says, oh, we're leaving, we're fucking off, and then doesn't, and then doubles down and goes to war and starts sending fucking troops into Iran.
And then they just start getting absolutely custard and fucking dumpstered.
Okay, and then it's over from that point on he has to only up the ante
He has to send even more troops, and then it's a permanent occupation that will fail
Right that will fucking fail
This country is not a rock this country is not Afghanistan
This is a country that has designed its defenses
specifically for this moment. It wouldn't even be Vietnam, it would be worse than
Vietnam. Vietnam, when we invaded, had already been colonially dominated by
France. Okay, Vietnam got a lot of help from the USSR, but at the end of the day
they were a country that were already, that already was like fighting for its
liberation. Iran has been not only a country that has sovereign for the past
47 years, but Iran also on top of being a sovereign nation state for the past 47 years
has developed its defenses specifically for this exact scenario. Iran also has a lot more
military expertise than Vietnam does.
Like people will say, you know, Vietnam or like rice farmers or whatever, and there's some truth to that. But they also had a lot of gear, right? They had decent fucking gear they got from the USSR. Let's be real. Okay.
Okay. Iran is geared out the wazoo, and not only is it geared out the wazoo, it's got 93 million people in it, it's topography is perfect as like a natural fortress, it's just like, I don't know how to explain it other than it's cooked.
Professor Robert Papes says this is worse than Vietnam.
A new global center of power.
So let me just explain this a moment.
So before the war, 33 days ago, there were three centers of world power we discussed.
The US, Russia, and China.
Now why was Russia even in that mix?
Because it had 11% of the world's oil, and of course it uses that for military purposes.
Well, Iran now has-
Will you be streaming the Stanford speeches on?
I'm gonna- okay, take a week off.
No, so funny.
You're so funny.
That amount of world oil, more than any other country on the planet, and what that's gonna
mean are 75, 100 billion dollars a year more to put into military that nuclear enrichment
is now more likely than ever to become nuclear weapons and over time as the months and the
years go on, which I know we're having a hard time coming to grips with the reality that's
occurred here, is that this is going to create a new center of world power and
dwarf Israel. This, as you can see right away, for all of our lifetimes, oil has
been so critical, and it's not just oil, of course, it's gas, it's the energy, it's
the fertilizer. This is what is what Iran has now as a chokehold on the world, but
it's 20% and there's no way you're gonna make up for that in the next three or
four years. Even if you start drilling now, it will take that long. So Iran is
coming out of this and we've never seen this in our lifetimes. A new world power
center created in a month, that's what's on issue here. So whatever President
Trump says tonight, whether he wants to go forward,
ground war or not, all of this we don't know
and he may not even know, let's face it.
He's been all over the map.
The reality, I deal with the realities here
and what we are seeing is escalation reality
with strategic consequences.
Those aren't over because President Trump thinks
he's gonna stop and go to Mar-a-Wago
and just cut himself off from the world.
No, the world will have to live now
with this new center of world power.
And there's no good way to deal with this.
This is why I was so opposed to this war
with the modeling I've been explaining.
This is not like, this will end up being worse than Vietnam.
Maybe not in battle deaths, so the 58,000 dead,
but that took 10 years, however,
so we haven't been into this 10 years yet.
But it's because of the consequences.
There was no way Vietnam was ever going to become a center of world power.
It had no nuclear enrichment here.
It was not going to do shocks.
This one was always fundamentally different, and I realized most of the world would not
know that.
Why should they know that?
They're not modeling this for decades.
This is what was always coming.
And that's why I said this is the horns of a dilemma.
It's a branching with where we're at.
not a well now that we are going to be what the not go for the ground war we
can all live happily ever after oil prices are going to come down Iran's
is going to give up the power that I'm describing when was a country ever give
up any power let alone world power well this is this will be my new discussion
points going forward and that's why I so appreciate coming on your show to share
it you got it first
I think Trump is going to taco tonight and then escalate.
That's my assessment.
My assessment is Donald Trump tacos in the speech, but that taco on the speech is not
actually a real taco.
The taco on the speech is just to like, he thinks it's super brilliant to do a pump fake
as he loves to do, as he's known to do.
So I think that's what's going to happen.
I mean, Ken Klobastan is like really adamant from his reporting that Donald Trump is not
going to do anything.
He is adamant in his belief that Donald Trump is not going to militarily invade Iran.
I want to believe that.
I think that's the most devastating scenario, I mean, outside of nukes.
But I also happen to believe that Donald Trump is the type of guy who, if he actually sends
military somewhere, he's going to use them.
type of guy who thinks if you don't use it, you lose it, right? And what I have seen so far is
that's precisely what happened with the naval assets, right? He sent the fucking naval assets to
the region, and it wasn't to like gain a significant foothold or leverage over the negotiations process.
It was specifically to bomb Iran and also simultaneously defend Israel while being able to
the bomber on
he has in the past
pulled out
but never in such a high-profile in such an impactful manner
he's pulled out from onsad Allah in operation in a prosperity guardian if you
recall
after billions were spent
and he bombed the shit out of yemen
right and then yemen actually
on ironically almost destroyed an f-35 first even before iran
uh... and two f a uh... was it it was a f-15 sir i don't know to to fight it just
were lost in the process as well
uh...
it when when uh... the aircraft carriers engaging in evasive maneuvering
they're getting potshots
uh... from from on sale on
I
Also owes f-18. I think f-16. Well regardless. Yeah one fell off the deck
There was another like friendly fire isn't it at least that's how they reported it
But my point is he pulled out of that
He backed away from that. He said you can keep pumping Israel if you want king. That's what they said the onslaught
Right. He said they're great fighters. They got hands. I'm pulling out
He talked out on that and he gave him props to in the process right because it was too costly too expensive and too embarrassing
With with very little material benefit, right?
He just basically cut a side deal with on son all on said as long as you don't hit our naval assets
We won't hit you. It's fine. You can hit Israel that literally was the deal
right
But this is different because you're not trying to open up the Red Sea, right?
You're not trying to open up the Red Sea crossing and allow commerce to take
place with Israel. This is the entire globe's energy production, at least like
20% of the entire globe's energy production, and almost the entirety of
the globe's energy production on the Eastern flank, right, in the Asian
Continent and around that area that that all comes out of the Shred of Hormuz. So
You can't really taco out of this you're kind of stuck you literally have to concede on the demands that Iran is making
You can't just get away with it by being like well
It doesn't harm us that much because we're in America and we're an exporter, right?
Like it doesn't work that way you fucked it up. You have to fix it
it. In a letter to the US Security Council, UAE is invoking Chapter 7 of the UN Charter,
commonly referred to as using force, seeking immediate action in order to ensure the safe
and secure navigation and navigational rights and freedoms. God, UAE is so funny, dude. They're
like wildly swinging around begging. They're the biggest scumbags in the GCC, okay? They
wanted this. They wanted this, and now they got it. And they're just like, oh my God,
getting hit how could they do this it's like well you did it okay you are
perhaps the most responsible state in the GCC for exactly what's unfolding
right now you align with Israel you wanted to be Israel you thought you
could be Israel you thought Israel would defend you Israel clearly does not want
to defend you okay it's just so funny that they're like we're gonna get into
the war any day now watch out any day now all right we're ready to go any day
Okay, don't piss us off.
Yeah.
All right, the camera's going away,
but I'll continue with my commentary without the camera.
Peter, I can't hear you.
You do say, Peter, you know, I'm just,
I got someone yelling in my ear when I'm talking,
sorry, I'm doing the best they can.
How you doing, Peter?
Doing great.
We just ran through the numbers there, Laura.
The Pentagon is running out of stuff to bomb, according to Matt Whitaker, the ambassador
to NATO.
We are gonna hear President Trump talk about that.
And the cross-haul of the White House mansion that is not-
Start to panic right now.
Start to panic right now.
It's over, it's over.
Where's the camera?
Where's the camera?
Where's the camera?
Where's my conference roomer?
Where's my conference roomer?
Where's my conference roomer?
Oh my God.
Where's my conference roomer?
Fuck.
We're not cover sure. Fuck.
Place that he normally comes to us from and he's going to reassure the American people
that Epic Fury can wind down in the next two to three weeks, maybe two to three weeks.
Get the fuck out of here. So cooked. So cooked. It's awesome. Okay. Also have your face revealed
when? Um, never, never, never, never.
President Trump has said the U.S. will leave Iran in two to three weeks, regardless of whether
a deal with Tehran is done.
That would potentially leave Iran in control of the Strait of Hormuz, as it is now in
control of much of the world's energy needs.
Effectively, they would be its gatekeepers, and this is why you can see the terrain here,
what it looks like, the layout.
You've got all refineries and terminals dotted around the Strait, which is 30 miles at its
shortest point here.
But if you have a look at this, you know, the waters here, here, here, they are shallow.
That forces ships into narrow lanes, lanes that can easily be mined or targeted.
Then you've got high terrain on the Iranian side.
That offers easy lines of sight for missiles and for drone attacks.
You've also got these islands all around.
They can be used as bases for attacks.
We'll talk more about those, what the US might want with them later.
And we've also just got a long rugged coastline here.
lots of places for small attack boats to hide. Iranian state media reported that a parliamentary
commission had approved plans to impose tolls on vessels transiting the strait, the strait
of Huma's management plan. That would make the strait more like the Panama Canal, the
Suez Canal. The difference with those channels though is that this is supposed to be international
waters by ships, have freedom of navigation under international law. So how might Western
countries approach this. If the U.S. finishes the war, leaves them to sort it out.
Well, the military options are challenging to say the least as we've discussed. Don't
forget that even the U.S. Navy hasn't entered the strait. So, do other countries make a
deal with Iran? What are the terms? Sanctions relief perhaps? And if they do do a deal,
well, imagine what Donald Trump would have to say.
Now, even though Trump is threatening to wind down America's involvement, we're still
seeing continued military build-up, specifically of troops that could operate on the ground.
First of all, Marines, two amphibious assault ships, the USS Tripoli, the USS Boxer, have
been dispatched to the region.
Now, the last known locations for each were in the Arabian Sea and also in Pearl Harbor
where the boxer was seen in Hawaii on Sunday.
They can each carry more than 2,000 troops along with air support.
And second, airborne troops, potentially even quicker.
The 82nd Airborne Division, we've been tracking flights from its base in North Carolina to
the region.
This would be a ground operation if they are deployed, but not a full-scale invasion.
We're talking less than 10,000 troops in total.
Compare that to the 2003 Iraq war, where some 300,000 coalition forces invaded, or Russia's
full-scale invasion of Ukraine, where it massed around 200,000 troops on the border.
And remember, too, that Trump has said the U.S. can finish the job in two to three weeks.
That seems to rule out any serious ground operation or invasion.
If ground troops were to go in, their aims would be more limited.
a possible invasion of Kharg Island. We've talked about that before. It is vital to Iran's
energy infrastructure, or a potential seizing of Iran's stock of 400 kilograms of enriched
uranium. That fits one of the few consistent war objectives voiced by the US to prevent Iran
obtaining a nuclear weapon. Swooping into Isfahan over here, where most of the nuclear
material is kept underground, would be the largest raid in military history. But some
Some are also probably held at other sites, Natanz and Forde.
Simultaneous assaults on three locations deep into Iranian territory is extremely challenging,
brings the risk of serious casualties.
So there is a lot of uncertainty here.
Iran's apparent plan to control the strait directly and the US troop build up are also
ways for each side to build leverage.
That leverage would be useful for any negotiations if it comes to that.
Our God, Jesus, King of Peace, a God who refutes war,
that no one can use to justify war,
that does not listen to the prayer of those who fight war and reject it by saying,
even if you multiply the prayers, I will not listen to your hands,
from today onward every terrorist will know and the whole country will know
The whole world will know, he who takes a life, the state of Israel will take his life.
The controversial law was pushed by Israel's far right, but campaigners say it's inhumane.
The way the law is drafted makes sure that only Palestinians will be sentenced to death.
So how could this new death sentence be used?
And why is Israel introducing it now?
Here's the breakdown with Susannah Rodgerson.
This is the moment Israel's parliament made the death penalty the default punishment for
Palestinians convicted of deadly terrorism.
Death by hanging will now be the punishment for Palestinians tried in the military courts
of the Israeli occupied West Bank.
And there'll be no right to appeal.
Israel's National Security Minister celebrated the law passing while wearing a newspaper.
He's been pushing for the death penalty for years.
In our country, with our sovereignty, we'll protect our citizens.
And a terrorist who goes out to kill should know he will go up to the gallows.
The West Bank is an area that covers most of the internationally recognised occupied
Palestinian territory.
It has been under Israeli occupation since 1967, and is home to almost 3 million Palestinians,
as well as half a million settlers from Israel.
Some of them say...
The new legislation has been criticised
by many human rights groups and governments around the world.
The UK, Italy, Germany and France put out a joint statement
saying the legislation could undermine Israel's commitments
to democratic principles.
Inside Israel, the law can be applied to Israeli citizens,
but only if they're convicted of killing
to negate the existence of Israel.
That means, in practice, it would almost exclusively
apply to Palestinians.
We are more used to having countries abolition
these penalties.
And in top of that, this would be an extraordinary discriminatory
law, because it would basically target only one category
of French population.
Israel says the new law will not apply to any prison as it currently holds.
This includes Hamas militants and those who attacked the country on October 7th, 2023,
triggering the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.
Separate legislation will be voted on for those convicted of taking part in that attack.
The law requires a majority vote from judges rather than a unanimous decision.
It also calls for execution by hanging within 90 days of sentencing, with some allowance for a delay.
The death penalty is illegal in many liberal democracies, but it's still allowed in some states of the USA.
The countries which executed the most people in recent years are China, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
For Israel, the new legislation marks a significant shift.
Adolf Eichmann has had his defence rejected.
The last person executed following a civilian child was the Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann
in 1962.
But Israel's new law brings a death penalty out of black and white and into the present
day.
Thanks Tuzana.
Now this law could still be stopped by Israel's own Supreme Court and people have already
been fighting to have it overturned.
Either way, this is a big shift in the way Israel treats prisoners.
While the death penalty has existed for many years, historically,
even those convicted of the most serious crimes have been jailed, not killed.
Now, among those pushing for the law to be cancelled is the campaign group Amnesty.
They fought for a long time against the death penalty.
I'm going to bring in now their researcher, Badour Hassan.
She's Palestinian and was born blind in the West Bank.
Badour, thanks so much for joining us. Where are you at the moment?
I'm Bist and Ramallah, the occupied West Bank.
I just wanted to get your take, first of all, on what's happening at the moment, and Israel bringing in this proposed death penalty for Palestinians.
So yesterday we saw how Israeli members of parliament celebrated the passing of a law which expands the use of the death penalty,
mainly targeting Palestinians, toasts of champagne, celebrations, screams of partying, all because of the passing of a death penalty law.
This penalty law has been in the discussions for quite some time, actually.
It's not new. It has been discussed for years.
And whenever a right-wing Israeli politician wants to win more votes,
increase their popularity, they start saying,
we want to impose a death penalty of what they call terrorists.
So with the enactment of this law, we have now a reality in which
those who are convicted of intentionally killing another person,
the way the law is drafted makes sure that only Palestinians, mainly will be targeted,
will be sentenced to death. And death only. Why this law is very extreme? Because one,
it doesn't allow a pardon. Pretty much most, the vast majority of this penalty measures allow the
convicts those sentenced to be pardoned. In position of the death sentence within just 90 days
of its issuance. All of that means that you have a disciplinary law with so few safeguards,
meaning we're talking one about one of the most extreme disciplinary provisions in the world.
I mean, to put it bluntly, do you think this law is racist? Absolutely. The second track dedicated
for Israel does not say that only Palestinians can be convicted and can be sentenced to death.
However, what it says is those who commit killings with the aim of negating the existence
of the state of Israel.
It means that effectively the people who will be accused, it didn't say based on state security,
obviously we know amnesty opposes the penalty regardless unconditionally.
But to put it in this such a discriminatory manner to specifically basically make sure
that this law would target one segment of the population with which is only
Palestinians to deprive those convicted of the most I'm gonna flip it
okay we're back ladies and gentlemen can you hear me well hopefully you can
we're back and we're headed scatter stop the count yeah I flipped it I flipped
to stop the scatter. We're on our way to Stanford University right now, where I'm going to be
delivering a speech to the students I was invited by, students for Justin Palestine. Quite the
controversial student group at Stanford, quite the controversial student group in most college
campuses. I did write a speech, yes, for those of you who are asking. Someone said, who are you?
That's funny.
I did write a speech.
It's going to be short, but sweet one.
I'll talk about the decline of American Empire.
We'll tie it back to tech.
Because we're in Silicon Valley, Palo Alto, as is expected of me.
Initially, it's very dark, by the way.
Maybe you don't want that dark on your head.
But, I just turned it up.
But yeah, we're headed to Stanford University campus.
I've never been.
I can already feel the evil energy in the air.
As soon as we enter the campus, premises.
or criminals currently going to a class right now.
At this university, the next big Peter Thiel is going to be here.
But...
What the fuck dude, can you please go on San Francisco? I'm going to literally put you in a spaceship.
Artemis 3, going to the sun. One way ticket. Just you.
You have literally spammed that, in all caps, the entire day.
Okay, yeah, America's next top war criminal.
Anyway, I haven't spent much time in San Francisco,
but it's beautiful.
I understand why a lot of people like it.
I will say there was an optional camp server,
we're not gonna do that, obviously, we don't have time.
We're gonna be doing a quick check-in,
we're gonna be doing a quick meeting read, okay?
And then the event starts at 6 p.m.,
which is right at the same time that Donald Trump is going to be delivering his speech.
Coincidence?
Coincidence, I think not.
He knew I was going to do this speech, and that's why he wanted to steal my thunder.
But we're not going to let him steal my thunder.
After that, we'll do a...
When the event first starts, we're doing political grounding and introductions.
Set the tone for the conversation ahead.
Okay.
And then I'll be delivering a quick 15-minute speech, 15-minute or so.
I'm not sure if it'll be exactly 15 minutes.
And I'm going to be talking about
Tech, Silicon Valley, its connection to Empire,
what the students can do, and then
afterwards there is a pre-prepared segment
that is moderated, where
we'll cover three different segments,
Partition each 15 minutes, and then we'll have a 20-minute audience Q&A and
Basically it ends at 7 30 so it's an hour and 30 minutes
Or I guess right now is 5 30 so it'll be two hours total
Afterwards I'll head back to the hotel, and I'll continue my commentary on
Whether or not we've actually waged war or if Donald Trump talk code, which is what my expectation is
or whether or not he's announcing a special military operation to extract
uranium from the Isfahan facility. But that's the situation as it stands
currently. We'll be monitoring it, I'll be monitoring it for my phone.
Simultaneously in real time.
You just jinxed it?
I also wanted to ask you to double check me on the Spanish translations on the mini doc.
Okay.
I'll do that right now.
Yeah, not right now.
But yeah.
That's where we're at.
That's where we're at.
I wonder if the Jewish insider would get very mad.
By the way, did you put the right address or is there a specific place you have to go
to?
I mean, I did put the right address.
It's just going to be like in the corner where we get dropped off.
Let me check them out.
We'll be fine.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh yeah.
What was the important letter from Iran?
That's the press conference right now.
They say there's a problem with the toilet on Orion, there's still trouble shooting, send prayers.
Come on, man.
That's not.
Is he gonna watch Trump's speech after his speech, or give general reactions about streaming to the speech?
I'm gonna watch Trump's speech after my speech, when I go back to the hotel.
I'm not going to live react to the Trump speech as I'm delivering my speech in San Francisco in the Stanford
University I
You're making me short circuit
That's I
Cannot believe it like we have such a wonderful community of like-minded individuals
Who are thoughtful considerate?
Responsive to the needs of the working class
want to do what's right want to change the world for a better future and then
sometimes I actually listen to the things that you say in the chat and I
think to myself I've gone wrong I've done I've done tremendous harm to this
course my naysayers might be correct we're not gonna make it
sometimes people have unbelievable questions and I think it is a byproduct of people often
treating me like
chachy chachy chachy
or google
genuinely
anyway
We used to be at my birthday party, yes.
Thank you Ghost, don't care for the fight you do subs.
I'm also back, Chad.
I'm home.
Marge Tommy's alive.
Okay, well I haven't well
Not for long though the way things are going
Okay, we're almost there
But yeah
There's been a lot of issues
Putting together this event
So I'm not I'm already on a
If you you're noticing that I'm tense it's partially for that reason
because
Like this was supposed to be very different, supposed to be at a different event.
And in much larger venue, I believe that was the venue that it was supposed to be at.
Or no, maybe not. I have no idea.
I feel like the administrators haven't been as willing to play ball with the student groups.
Because like there's a difference when it's the school that invites me to places like it was a school
If it's like a dean or something or a professor that invites me to an event. It's a little different
When if it's a student group that invites me to an event like the political debate society or whatever
It's a little different
This is a shap
Unless Hawaii fights for their independence from American imperialism was on will never go there what the fuck
What does that have to do with any of that?
Do you have body doubles just to be safe?
Yes, March is my body double.
Yeah.
They do say we look alike.
Yeah.
Student orgs have no power.
Some student organizations do, but SHAP I don't think
is in favor with the admin.
All right, I'll go.
Okay.
Yeah, right here.
Up there, Spum.
Thank you.
Yes.
Hello.
Hi.
What do you have in there, sir?
Got anything?
Oops.
Okay, hello.
What's going on guys, nice to meet you.
I'm Amanda.
I'm Kaden.
I'm Kaden.
I'm Kaden, nice to meet you.
I'm Kaden.
I'm Kaden.
I'm Kaden.
This is my dad.
All right, let's uh
All right, let's do it
You can show this right?
Sure
I can probably show this jacket
Please hold. Thank you. Nice to meet you
So what happened we were supposed to be in a bigger area a bigger venue different topics
So a lot changed. Is it hard to organize with the SJP on campus?
No, no, it's all good.
And then Donald Trump decided to outshine me and
Do his little state of the union right at the same time it's gonna happen in like 30 minutes
I don't know if I'll be able to recall for sure.
No, yeah, let me know when we had Rhonda since it's right here.
Yes.
We had Rhonda since I was in heck with sunshine.
Really?
And we were able to record right there, yeah, at Hoover.
But yeah, I was half of the time registered.
And I was on 700 plus degrees.
So it was that, actually, it needs to be canceled
because the professor may...
The professor may want to use it.
Yeah, and then we went to the navigator.
Is he using it?
Yeah, sure
Cool, it's a packed house I assume
All right
Thank you.
Thank you.
Okay.
Hello.
We're live streaming right now, by the way.
Okay, cool.
Hi.
I'm Iman.
Iman, Hasan, nice to meet you.
I'm Juhay.
Juhay, Hasan, nice to meet you.
I'm the moderator.
Yes.
We'll be asking a question.
All right, cool, cool, cool.
And we have a meeting that's going to happen.
Yeah.
We're supposed to bring Amanda.
Do you know me and Great Details?
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay, and then you guys wanted to be able to stream it,
right, or something?
So, I'm gonna need you, are you gonna stream it on Twitch?
Like, who's gonna be doing the...
Yeah, you wanna be able to stream it as well, right?
Yeah, so I mean, it's just that we're required
through the university policy to stream it.
We're gonna give you all the stream keys to our account.
Okay.
If we do it on stream, that's...
Yeah, so that way, like, the feed would be
going into both streams.
Yeah, yeah, we're going to do that, but you need to log in.
Someone who knows how to log into the account needs to do it,
and you have to do it through my phone.
Yeah.
I think it's, I think that's X.
DIY as well.
Dying as well.
Yellow.
OK.
OK.
And then that way, and you can tell me
exactly when you want to go live as well.
You don't have to show.
Wait, so you're streaming now?
Yeah, we're streaming right now.
I've been streaming all day
It's fine. I mean it's it's like an hour long. It's not that crazy. What do we got? We got coffee here
Wait really cold brews for you, but you guys you guys did like a like I didn't have a ride or anything you just
That's crazy
Hell yeah, well, thank you. I feel so spoiled
oil. It's nice. All right, you have the account?
Yes. Okay, hold on. Do you want to...
Yeah, we need that. Don't show it. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I don't want to touch it. I don't want to touch it.
No, no. I don't want the stream key. I want...
Do you love it? Yeah, I need you to...
Because you're going to stream on Twitch, right?
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay, so here's what we're going to do.
I'm going to go to settings, I'm going to go to destinations, I'm going to click on Twitch.
Okay, hopefully it's not going to kick me off the stream either.
And then, you are going to use, what's your username?
StanfordSGP?
StanfordSGP?
Don't say the password.
Okay, you have to type that password in that's crazy
Like an insane password. That's an insane. It's a strong password. Oh, oh I see that
Chats like new chat. No, no, there's no way you have to be an alien to be able to save this password like
That's so funny, man. Yeah
The difference is I'm like a patient parent with them you're like a
Yeah, he's logging on right now.
So we can set up the destination.
Whatever you're logging in for, it's fine.
Could you bring that along?
Well, yeah.
All right.
I'm going to have a little ring.
Not only did I write a speech, but I printed it out.
So I don't even read it from my phone.
Very professional.
What couldn't tell you to do that?
I don't know.
I just wanted to be a little bit more serious, you know?
However, the problem is, we ran out of paper,
so it has the Cuban embassy header
from when we were getting the visas.
And we had to print out the forms physically.
Solicitud de autorización técnica por personas naturales
para la importación de, oh, this is the equipment list.
Yeah, in order to get a journalism visa
We had to literally put down every single piece of equipment that we brought in to the country.
Yeah, I remember that.
Yeah. So I had to print it on that paper.
But, you know...
At one point I will be leaving you momentarily just to see where I'm going to set up.
Yeah.
Pre-actually set up a tripod.
Yeah.
It's fine
You know where
Yeah, because that's an impossible way
Copy and paste it to me
No, just uh here just a minute
Missed you guys. Oh, you're gonna text it to my phone
I'd take weekend off
It's copied, right?
But we're back.
Also, some tech I'm excited to try out with you guys today.
Dodger's Snack, the edamame.
Yeah, that actually, edamame saved me.
The right one, right?
I had so many of those.
I packed tons of those in there.
It's not coming in.
I don't know why I'm not receiving your text message.
Okay, there it is.
I have a Michelin show chat.
Wait, isn't your username doesn't exist?
You know how chat, oh you have a restaurant,
it looks like an ant whenever we try to stream these from IRL backpack.
Wait, hold on.
Yeah, username doesn't exist.
There's a little bit of croissant in my money.
I think I have this bad boy right here.
Oh my god.
That's 70 to 200 millimeter telescope lens.
Yeah. Okay. What's your authenticator?
2.8 F's.
So anyway, I'm going to have you guys zoomed in on
Triggin' into this.
This one's pores from half a mile away.
Did you go up there?
Give me fire.
Yeah.
And then I'm gonna keep it in my house for personal use because he doesn't even know what's going on
He doesn't know what to do with all that
You don't know what to do with all that. I'll take care. I'll take care of you
Easy okay
Authorize to which authorization failed due to a bad state. Please try again. What the fuck?
Uh-oh
Come on
Come on now. Okay, so I authorized you so I will when I enable this it'll automatically start streaming on that account
Okay, but I'm not gonna enable it yet
I'm gonna enable it when I start the string like when I start the speech or when I start the event
Okay, we don't need to do anything. You don't need to do anything else all this is getting all I'm gonna do is hit enable
And it should start life. Yeah, you will immediately on your
So we're able to log in right or yeah, yeah, you're good
No problem.
Yeah, I was talking about that.
I mean, well, 10 minutes before, Ewan and I made a talk with some great logistics out there.
Yeah, yeah.
With me?
Yeah, touch space for their programming.
I'll be on scene, though, they're going to be monitoring.
Okay.
Monitoring.
Yeah.
It's been a long day.
Yeah.
Do you want to start monitoring?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Monitoring the situation.
Yeah, you're going to put the camera down here, and then you're going to go and look at the
spot, or are you going to put the camera right there?
I'm just gonna put the tripod on it now and just carry it.
Okay.
Bulk style.
Okay.
Holds for two seconds.
Yeah.
Crazy style, I know.
Yeah.
We do it live here.
This is a new tripod or is it the same one that we use?
I've always had this one,
but this is like a bit heavier duty.
Mm-hmm.
That's all there is.
More stable.
Oh, no, no.
Peak design, actually.
Nice.
get some good shit. That's why Luigi Mangione was using it.
Yeah.
For all your...
No, you're good. You're good.
In a little bit, I just need you to show me where I can set up.
Besides that, I'm chilling.
Okay, sounds good. Give me two seconds.
Yeah, yeah, we're live.
Yeah.
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. You guys want to come in?
I don't...
I feel like you're just standing out there awkwardly.
Okay.
Hi.
Hi, I'm Sabrina.
Sabrina Hassan. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. I'm like taking a chance.
How are you?
Nice to meet you, Pristis.
Is that your Mao era?
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, I had to show up.
It's a serve, it's a serve.
It's looking great.
Thank you.
We're glad that you got back from Cuba safely and everything went well.
Yeah, it was all things considered.
We had to, I had to peel out and go through Mexico,
so I wouldn't get like harassed on entry, which worked.
Because some of the other people that were on our trip, they got detained.
Oh wow.
Because I feel like in America, everything is so busted in general that like,
If you go in through LAX, that's like a much more comfortable transit.
There's a much more comfortable point of entry than like other,
like O'Hare is where I got detained.
O'Hare has like terrible customs and border patrol.
And then like Miami is really bad too from what I hear for sure.
How was the CNN interview about Cubans?
Oh, it was great.
Alex is a good friend.
I've done interviews and stuff with him.
I've done debates when he was a Fox News affiliate.
Oh, wow.
Like a local Fox affiliate back in the day.
Now he's a CNN.
Cool.
I don't think Jake Tapper liked that too much.
Yeah, I don't think so.
Well, he's tweaking right now.
Yeah.
Only a couple hours after he called me a radical terrorist
anti-Semite, I just went on CNN and did an interview
talking about humanitarian aid to Cuba.
Yeah, talk about contradiction.
Yeah.
Yeah, OK.
So what are we doing?
It's just a regular meet and greet.
Are we taking photos with everybody?
I'm curious, but I would love to take a photo.
Yeah, yeah, let's do it.
Is that OK?
Could you take a photo?
Yeah, I'm sitting down for like two seconds, I need to hold my hand.
Outside the door?
Oh, I mean, I don't want to like think, I don't, yeah, I think logistically.
Is that okay?
Okay.
Yeah, let's do it.
Can I put my arm around here?
Yeah, it's fine.
Wait, no, I just want to say hi.
Yeah, that's long ago.
I'm going to get a selfie too.
Sure.
I'm sorry, I've been watching you since I was 20.
Hell yeah.
Grab me a coat.
A coat.
A coat.
Okay, thank you.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
Okay, I'll take a picture with you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't think you're going to do the question.
Nice to meet you.
It was a pleasure, honestly.
Thank you for coming to stand.
Hell yeah.
I hope you can get a pic.
Yeah, yeah, I'm just doing it.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much. Nice to meet you.
What's up?
So, there are two undergraduate students who introduced me to you.
And for that, I was very much a character.
And this is, if you don't mind, I know they're watching this stream.
I think they'll be psyched to see that I'm here because of them, and I also want to say
I think the way that you talk to people has really influenced how I'm able to talk to
Thank you for watching, don't take your selfie, what do you want to do?
Alright, nice to meet you.
Of course.
Getting my travel on so hard.
What's going on?
Nice to meet you.
I actually just found out today.
My family's from Michigan.
Very lived, they're very, very lived, right?
I heard that they're not going to vote for Syed.
vote for Syed, not because of disagreements, but because they think that your association
with him is not going to be good for the general. So I'm trying to figure out, what do I say
to them?
I think that people, especially in the Democratic Party primary, should vote for people who
they think are the best candidate, and not try to behave like Democratic Party consultants.
is that attitude is actually super commonplace.
It's not just your parents.
A lot of people have done that,
and that's precisely the reason why
they've convinced themselves that Hillary Clinton
is better than Bernie Sanders, right?
Or Joe Biden is fine, or Kamala Harris,
it needs to moderate so that she can win over
this mythical moderate voter.
That's actually not the case.
It's just the lie that the Democratic Party
tells people all the time,
and unfortunately a lot of lifelong liberals
have identified with that message,
so they constantly think,
I really like this person, I really like their policies,
but I don't think he's the most electable.
That's not the case.
If you like that person and you like their policies,
there's probably a really good reason for it,
and that probably means they are the most electable.
So there's no reason to like neuter your ambitions.
I'll give you the message.
And also the idea that I will be a significant issue
in the Michigan election, I don't think that's a thing.
That's what I was gonna say.
Yeah.
But anyway, I wanna get a further view.
All right, let's do it.
My friend, Becca, was gonna freak out on this.
Hell yeah.
All right.
Nice work.
Thanks for your doing, man.
Okay.
Hey, nice to meet you.
I'm gonna be quick, but I was gonna tell you,
I'm a freshman and I've been leading
a progressive revival at the Stanford Dams
and I think that what you're leading
amongst young people is super cool.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thank you.
You got a cold bro, you two pictures?
Yeah.
How's it going on?
I haven't had a lot of time, but I just want to say thank you for coming to America.
We get one step closer to radicalizing our parents, so thank you.
Good, I'm going to do it again soon.
I'm going to be on with John Favreau soon.
Hi.
I've been watching you for a very long time, generally, but I know we're running for one time.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you.
All right.
Hello.
Hi.
I'm Layla from Palestine, and I'm here with the movement.
Have you heard of the Oakland people's arms embargo by chance?
No, I haven't.
Okay, so we found that Oakland Airport is shipping out weapons weekly,
or military cargo weekly to Israel.
And we have the mayor of Oakland has endorsed our campaign,
and we have hundreds of businesses that have endorsed our campaign.
We would love if you could also endorse it.
Sure, I'm endorsing it.
Okay, can you say?
I endorsed the Oakland people's arms embargo.
Okay, I endorsed the Oakland people's arms embargo.
Thank you so much.
here's a poster for you. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. All right. Thank you for everything that you do.
Of course. Nice to meet you.
Hi. Thank you. Of course.
We have an awkward if I was like, no,
yeah, I'm just like, sorry, not well enough. Actually, just
I don't fuck with it.
Everywhere else, I'm for it.
Arms and Bargo, everywhere but...
I don't fuck with it.
I really like... what?
I really like sending weapons just out of Oakland.
Yeah, yeah, I think you would.
We're getting a lot of 35's.
Wow, you know one of my favorite videos.
Alright, nice to meet you guys.
Yeah, you're taking it back. He's like, no.
He heard me.
He heard me say I don't want, I don't fuck with it.
Hi, nice to meet you.
Hi, I'm Robin.
And I'm a nice guy.
But I love your shoes.
Oh, thank you.
Of course.
And we should share this tour.
Is the Shroud Park in now?
Yep.
Word, word, word.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
We're all friends.
Hi.
What's up?
Nice to meet you.
And I'm Roberto.
Nice to meet you.
Can we do a quick picture?
What's up? Nice to meet you.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. Hi.
What's on? Nice to meet you.
Alright, we're taking a full group photo.
Alright, let's do it. Where should I
will it fit?
Alright, let's do it like that.
You have to do a 0.5 maybe?
I do.
What is your rate?
1, 2, 3.
All right. We're good? All right. Nice to meet you guys.
Thank you so much. Thank you for being here.
Be sure. This is the last one. Okay.
All right.
What's up? You from the culture boss? Oh, wow. Okay.
Nice to meet you.
Is this live show? Yeah.
Sure, go ahead.
What is that?
It's a secret symbol.
Can I frame log you?
What is that?
Oh, it's my ex-girlfriend's name on Braille.
Oh, what?
It's crazy.
You want to get it?
Cool.
Sorry.
Oh, me first?
Hi.
Yeah, cool.
So.
Thanks.
Nice to meet you.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
OK, let's do it.
Thank you. Nice to meet you guys.
Okay.
Well, me and little Imana just want to go over some quick things.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, good.
Um, so...
It's a cool living life, right?
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
Um, first, Imana is going to give...
Do you want to start with an opening speech?
That's like six, seven...
Six, seven minutes.
Um, and the bill prompt you so that you can walk on stage.
There will be a podium you can speak for or you can sit down for as long as you want like we'll actually 15 minutes
Yeah, it's probably shorter I have a three three page speech
Okay, okay.
And then after you're done with your speech, if you could like, I don't know, make some
grand statement or make it clear that Anand and I should go to work soon and then we'll
go up, sit in the things and then start our conversation.
Okay, alright.
I was also thinking that once you're done with your speech, I could just go up to the
podium and be like, okay, we're gonna be in the conversation.
Yeah, sure, of all.
Yeah, when you take a seat, I'll just hop up.
Okay.
great and then it's gonna be a moderated conversation where we have some
prepared topics and things to discuss and then people are submitting to me
questions to the team in the back story through them and they're gonna serve
through them submit to them and they're gonna ask questions.
Perfect now we have you guys got stuff right? Oh that's crazy.
Oh my god
Free Palestine glasses
Sure.
You guys got flowers?
That's crazy.
Give it to the chat.
There you go, chat.
That's pretty good, chat.
Got your flowers on.
I mean, I don't know if I want to wear the hacker right now
because I want to mess my hair up.
Well, I'll put the glasses on.
Because my hair is already messy, you know?
Here you go.
These look like glasses I would wear.
Yeah, wait, I was actually really interested in that game.
Yeah, well, it was really like a white blast.
This is pretty awesome.
And on the actual lens.
Show cat.
Oh, it does.
Oh, wow.
It's cool.
Don't forget the wheel piece.
Wait, look here, I wonder, I'm going to inspire you on that.
Fairly, the main thing, in terms of political points
that you can hit on, I mean, obviously,
I think one thing we've been kind of struggling
is to get people to organize long term,
so just highlighting, like, beyond the sabbatical
important information, say, for the SAP and we also
have other, like, SAF and...
We'll introduce them.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, no, for sure.
Yeah.
What did you mention?
I saw something.
Yeah, yeah.
I was just going to bring up, you don't want to do so much.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll mention it in my speech, but we're also having a popular defense campaign for some
students that were charged for felonies for a sit-in protest in 2024.
I'm one of those students, right?
It's crazy.
Okay, we got a felon speaking.
No, yeah.
It's weird.
Wait, people.
It's a criminal.
I didn't realize I was...
I mean, that's sure.
Yeah.
People often like, oh, you're the coolest fella
and I know, and I'm just like, I'm not a fella yet.
I'm convicted.
But we're going through a trial.
It's crazy political stuff.
If you could mention that.
Yeah.
That'd be great.
Of course.
And yeah.
Bit.ly slash s11 action toolkit.
Thanks.
Hell yeah.
Dude, I wrote it down on my speech.
You're like, I got it.
I'm on law.
Right, because the question is what is to be done.
And the answer is to go to the action toolkit
and tell them to keep me out of justice.
We're letting you call the VA to be called anymore,
and they don't return the calls anymore.
Wait, they actually stop.
Because they've also called in.
Like a lot of the VA offices, their numbers
are just shut off now.
Wait, really?
Yeah, because of the campaign.
Because we've had so many people calling in.
Yeah, I don't remember calling him, but I think it was too exciting.
Um, I think that there's more...
We have two minutes left, do you want to start heading up to stage and then we can...
I think I'll...
Oh, so you're gonna like...
Oh, yeah, I'm gonna talk to you...
Should I go set that up?
Mm-hmm. I mean, I guess, yeah.
Um, what are we gonna do about the audio on stage, though, when I'm not on the live?
What do you mean, like...
When I'm in back...
Cause did you make, like, a six-minute speech that easily had to go over before me?
We can just kill it.
Or you can just leave a mic up there. Yeah, I guess we can put a mic in the oh, I'll take your mic and I'll put it on the podium
All right, can we do that?
Can you can you take this microphone it's gonna be hot so the whole time
So you take the air and put it on the podium so that we can pick up your speech while you're speaking. Oh, thank you so much
All right, I'm taking you we're gonna set up this part of this transition is gonna be a little scuffed
Okay, you guys have been you guys have done this before. Oh shit. I didn't belong lands
Oh, okay, that's not how you do it.
Let's fuck that up.
I have no idea.
Okay.
Don't worry.
I got it.
I forgot the long ones.
Also, your mic's still on, see?
Yeah, I know.
Okay, we're doing a check.
Yeah, they're still here.
I lost the guy that was leading me around.
It's so cooked.
Where is he?
On the main stream.
Where'd he go?
But they can't see us.
I'm getting weighed down from the outside.
Oh, they're white on the whole time?
No, they're all white.
Hello.
Oh my god.
He's doing his too.
What the fuck?
What do I set up?
Oh, there you are.
Let's actually walk you through the back.
Probably a good idea.
Is this spring break right now?
Good, how are you?
So you guys are just coming back to school?
Cool.
Steve's on the tour in one minute.
Yeah, tonight he's delivering us to the union.
Great.
Um, I think he's gonna...
Where can I post the camera at?
Uh, hi.
That might be a bit too close.
I mean, I honestly, if I could get the shot in the middle of the walkway, that'd be great.
Yeah, would you want to start up the tripod there?
Can you hold this for a minute?
Oh yeah, I'll just put it up there.
I feel like we should just go back to town now, I think they're going to stay for a while.
I think yeah.
Oh, oh, if there's an empty seat.
Oh, so sorry, I'm so sorry, I got so confused.
Hello everyone, we're going to be starting in a couple minutes, but if there's any empty seats more so in the middle of your row, please raise your hand.
So like if your row is filled but there's one empty seat, let us know so that we can make sure that the weightless people are able to get it.
Yeah, raise your hand and keep your hands raised.
One, two, perfect. And then back down.
All right.
Thank you all so much.
Come on.
Chad, does this look and sound good?
Does this look and sound okay to you guys?
His mic lost contact with his one of those.
Yes, yes, yes, okay, I'm pretty good back at the.
So I was going to use the long lens, but they literally put me right in the fucking front,
so I think I'm literally just going to hand help cam this and zoom in and give you punching
shots and we'll see how it goes.
Okay, enjoy chat.
I'll be watching you guys.
If something breaks, just tell me.
Hey friends, we're going to be getting started in just one minute, less than one minute even.
We've got to get going real, real quick, so make your way to your seats if you haven't
yet.
Pull out pen, paper, and notes.
You got a last group of people coming in off the wave list.
That's why you always stay village-ing.
Sound good?
Sound good?
Yeah, what's the student body's attitude like normally?
I mean, all the films considered now, we do have a really tough one to ask us.
Where have you been any time?
I don't know.
I'm on the phone.
Oh, my mic is back. Okay, they can hear us now.
Yeah, they're very close to each other.
Yeah, they're very close to each other.
Oh yeah, when he goes up, does he help you?
Yes, I help you.
Hey, you're coming, hey.
One solution.
One solution.
One solution.
All in response, I say one solution, you say revolution, all right?
Let's get it. One solution.
One solution.
One solution. One solution.
One solution. One solution.
One solution. One solution.
Make some noise, y'all. Make some noise, y'all.
Good, good, good evening everybody.
My name is Hermandra Fael Bonsales.
I'm a student organizer with Stanford, F.J.P.
What's up, you family?
What's up, you stand?
And I will be your emcee for this evening.
It's an honor to be able to talk in front of everyone here
and to be in the presence of the many thousands in chat.
So what's up, y'all?
Before we begin, some housekeeping.
Attached to the chairs in front of you
is a QR code leading to a questionnaire
for the Q&A section.
We have a great team in the back
that will be reviewing your questions with Hassan
to be asked during the Q&A section.
We're looking for questions that engage
in good faith conversation
that definitely do challenge Hassan's ideas
presented during the event
and that encourage white discussion.
We will not select bad faith in argumentative questions.
We ask that you take some time to listen to
and to respond with your questions.
We will be having no ins and outs during the event.
You are stuck in here.
Please, please, please no disruptions of any kind.
We won't stick the police on you,
but it's just not polite.
Please take notes, sit back,
and let that allow me to open.
Friends, folks, we live in a time where it has never been more clear the wars of the
United States and that the American Empire is waging.
We live in a time where there is war at home and war abroad.
At home we witness the violence, the ice inflicted in Minneapolis and across the nation, separating
families abducting our neighbors and murdering them in cold blood on our streets. Working
families are struggling to afford rents. We in the Bay Area are facing the worst affordability
crisis for housing in the whole nation. Each year, healthcare becomes more and more expensive.
Millions of working people are struggling to meet their basic needs, all while the billionaires,
The ones who always put their hand on the scale of our legislature are only getting wealthier.
Wealthier from continuing to exploit our work and the little that we make, I know this as a first-gen
of income student at this institution.
We see the billionaires not only profit from the war here, but also from the wars abroad.
From the ongoing genocide in Gaza, which has killed tens of thousands of children,
the blockade and starvation of the human people
to abducting President Maloudo in pursuit
of empiric regime change against international law,
to waging a new forever war against Iran.
From all of this, the handful of billionaire-led corporations
like Lockheed Martin, like Palatier, Chevron, HP, Google,
et cetera, they continue to grow at the cost of millions
of people murdered abroad and hungry and starving children
in this nation.
And our politicians and, make no mistake,
our universities are very, very happy
to just roll out the red carpet for these billionaires.
Yet the understanding of this unfairness
is what has made thousands of our people
across the nation wake up.
And here at Stanford, it is what has led
to the students beginning to truly organize.
Because the truth is, we have no other option.
Here at Stanford, we have seen how our universities operate
as corporations instead of places of learning,
seeking to maximize profit at every turn
and at every expense to the students and the workers
of this university.
And that's especially since the start of Genocide in Gaza.
It has become clear that Stanford University cares only
about protecting its brand and its purse.
We saw how Stanford has bent over backwards
for Trump's administration and his demands
for eliminating DEI in universities.
And so as a result, we have seen Stanford cut funding
from grad programs, disciplining progressive protesters
for standing for justice, and perhaps most critically,
criminalizing pro-Palestine students
and systematically attempting to repress our voices.
I myself am one of 11 students and alumni
of Stanford University who are currently facing
three years in prison on two felony counts
for sitting at the university president's office in 2024.
I appreciate the support y'all.
This is all while the district attorney
of Santa Clara County, has raised thousands of dollars
through campaign events where he flaunts
our unjustifiable prosecution and persecution.
And Stanford, the university that has incubated
half of the companies on the media list,
Stanford, the university that hosts war criminal child
killer, Condoleezza Rice as director of the Hoover Institute,
Stanford, the corporation country club
protecting to be a university, stands in quite support of our prosecution.
And so the big question is, what is this event?
Well, if you're asking me personally, I would say for you to go to bit.ly-slash-s11-action-toolcares
to draw people out of the panel every night now.
But more seriously, and more directly, that exact question, what is to be done, is why
I'm here today and not letting my university and my government scare me into submission.
It's why you all are here today, and it is why we also have the internet's most prominent
socialists here today.
We have to fight back, folks, even with the violence and oppression from the U.S. governments,
our institutions, the people have not cowered.
From Minneapolis to Los Angeles, to our own campus,
in the face of oppression, our communities only fight back
harder and stronger.
And they learn each time they fight back.
See, this university, this government,
they think they can silence us.
They think they can scare us.
They think they can distract us, but they can't.
Even with this event, y'all are seeing it right now,
moving us from a 1,700-seat venue that sold out
about as fast as Bernie Sanders sold out
to this smaller 300-person venue
and opposing all these insane restrictions on us.
It just makes it clear how powerful
Hasan's voices and those ideas,
how powerful progressive politics are,
how powerful we are when we stand together,
when we organize.
They are a frame of the power of the people united,
of our voices, of our ideas.
They are scared of the fact that we
can build an alternative system that
means the people's needs, a system where teachers don't
have to go on strike to get a livable wage, a system where
health care is available to everyone freely,
a system where no one is left unhoused.
They're scared of that future because it
means less money for them, but we can make that world
that future where no more bloody wars are waged
And where every student, no matter what university they are,
where they are, can get an affordable and a free education
without having to go to a school that builds bombs
for genocide.
We saw the power of mobilization.
We saw on January 23rd in Minneapolis
when the whole city went on strike.
We saw on January 30th where hundreds of cities around the
country went on strike.
And we saw this past weekend with millions of people
walking out with no king's protest all across the nation we have the power and
we almost not only mobilize these protests but organize and that's one of
the main things we're gonna be talking about today folks because today is a
stepping stone today is a stepping stone and we're going to ask you all to come
out of this event and think not only of the horrors that the wealthy elite
commit to perpetuate and grow their own wealth and power but think of how we
the people can build our own power. We're going to think and discuss of how we can
build and grow our own organizations. We're going to think of how we can build
our communities. We're going to think of how we can build a better future and a
tomorrow for all of us. And if you want the keys and the guidance for how to do
that, then pull out your notebook. Pull out your notes out and start taking notes.
because the song is here and he has a lot to say.
So.
Woo!
Yeah!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Folks, folks, everyone,
introduce me to our speaker for the evening.
He is a streamler.
He is a content creator.
He is a writer.
He is an anti-Zionist.
He is a socialist.
And maybe by listening to the progressive perspectives
holds, one perspective that has historically been marginalized, we can have a couple answers
to our big question of what is to be done. So I ask you all with your hands, with your
voices, make some noise and welcome Hasan Piker everyone.
Wow, that's going to be a tough speech to follow, really yapper, this guy.
I was in the other room listening to Donald Trump on the side and I just wanted to inform
you guys, it's a victory.
Total complete victory in Iran, it's over.
Never mind, actually we're still continuing the war, concedes, but who knows, maybe it
a victory tomorrow. Obviously I was, I think, initially supposed to speak in a much larger
room and potentially even debate a Zionist campus college professor here, but none of
them wanted to do it. I don't know why. On whether or not archbite people have a right
to resist. And I mean, yeah, they do, obviously, but, you know, that would have been great
for Jewish insider. They could have gotten as many clips as they possibly can off of
that one. Maybe continue the conversation for another week about whether or not politicians
should endorse me as though I'm running for office. But we're going to be talking about
Stanford University, Silicon Valley, Tech, and Imperialism.
Because we're in unique times.
So let's start.
I wrote a speech for you guys as well.
Wow, congratulations.
Okay.
Okay.
First of all, I'm gonna start out by saying
thank you for having me, I'm honored.
I wanna begin my remarks with a quote
from the writer, Gore Badal.
Empires are restless organisms
and was constantly renew themselves,
should an empire start leaking energy, it will die.
I think looking at the state of affairs in the Middle East,
we can safely say that the American empire
is more than just leaking energy.
Ever since the end of the Cold War,
the United States has been the shotcaller in world politics.
The only superpower left standing.
But if America won the Cold War,
then why do we still have such a large military?
It's a question I ask myself all the time.
Why are we left with this national security state?
This problem of a lack of a real enemy has vexed us ever since.
The American Empire is a restless organism.
But that hasn't stopped us.
We just started to pick on smaller and smaller guys,
little guys all around the world, right?
After the first Gulf War against Saddam Hussein's Iraq in 1991,
it was Colin Powell who said famously,
I'm running out of villains.
I'm down to Castro and Camp Il-San.
And ever since he said those words,
we've kept the war going.
For decades, we've punished Iraq, Cuba, Palestine,
North Korea, Venezuela, and many other nations.
And we've kept the war going in a number of different ways.
Perhaps the most important and unacknowledged
has been the US sanctions regime.
A 2024 analysis by the Washington Post
found that as many as a third of all countries in the world
are under some kind of US economic sanction.
I recently visited the country of Cuba,
where American sanctions and a trade embargo
have been in place for over six decades.
And I can tell you from what I saw,
that American sanctions are a deadly weapon absolutely,
excluding and financially penalizing smaller nations.
According to a study published by The Lancet,
the medical journal, the sanctions imposed
by the United States or European Union
were associated with 564,000 deaths per year
between 1971 and 2001.
Sanctions can take so many lives
and no one ever has to fire a gun or drop a bomb.
But America does have guns. America also has bombs and it has messengers and expensive jets and military bases all over the globe
and we pay for it
instead of paying for housing paying for education paying for welfare or literally anything else at all and
We have an arms industry that buys off Washington with lobbyists and if we're being honest buys off the country with
with decently paying industrial labor as well.
Some of you might even end up working
at some of these companies given, you know,
where at Stanford University today.
But, as Gorgonall put it,
the American Empire is leaking energy.
Successive rounds of imperial misadventure
have made us weak.
So has the phase of capitalism that we're in,
one that prioritizes speculation, financialization,
in other words, ways of accumulating capital
that leave less for common people than ever before.
This way of life is weakened us.
Our empire is coming to an end.
And to that I say, thank God.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
To begin with, I believe that the American Empire
is a bad bargain for Americans.
A lot of people might get mad at me and say,
Well, on the third world, as a matter of fact,
it's actually pretty good in comparison to the third world.
But it is.
Now, it's objectively true that we do benefit
in the imperial core.
The empire benefits Americans in many ways.
The dollars reserve currency status, cheaper fuel costs,
all for the good stuff from being the richest place
on the planet.
But our empire has a tax.
Periodically, we send our own people off to other countries
that die in a mission with no real strategic purpose.
We have a limited and very expensive form of socialism
for veterans, and even that is lackluster.
And our empire requires that its capital
be invested in weapons of war, far beyond any rational need.
After all every dollar spent on a bomb
that will go out and blow out of school overseas,
is a dollar that's stolen from you?
Is a dollar that could have been spent on a school here?
Could have gone to your homes, could have fixed your potmoles,
could have fixed our infrastructure,
could have paid for health care, and yet, instead,
that dollar goes to blowing up other countries overseas.
Now, all of this, I think, is pretty obvious
to most people, especially you in this room.
In the first weeks of this new third Gulf War,
you were then a fifth of all Americans approved of it.
That was before Donald Trump's Mac and Cull decided
that they were actually on board with it.
In 2024, they voted for less inflation,
and it's hard to see how a spike in the price of oil
will deliver anything but historic inflation.
The Trump people and all the other pro-war forces
in government and media,
well, they don't really have many options.
The only way to make this all work is to lock.
They have to buy TV networks,
they have to buy Hollywood studios,
they have to buy TikTok from China,
and they have to flood the airwaves with their own propaganda
and they have to smear their enemies.
And that's something I know quite a bit about personally.
But the pro-war, pro-empire forces in America,
they have disadvantages too.
The biggest one is manufacturing consent
to use an old phrase that may be falling out of fashion
as of late.
These days, almost nobody is bought in.
People are very skeptical of mainstream narratives.
And a big reason for why that's the case is the internet.
In particular, the social media platforms
that come from here, the heart of Silicon Valley.
Ever since World War II, one of the greatest exports
of the United States was our culture.
I am a byproduct of that.
I grew up in Turkey my whole life,
and yet I sound American, I look American,
I consumed American products my whole life growing up.
I wanted to come here.
I believed in the American dream until I got my first hospital bill, and then I was like,
oh, yikes.
But, America's forces of cultural imperialism are also waning around the world.
We have our TV networks, we have our Hollywood studios, our magazines, our books,
and a huge chunk of all of that spread a pro-empire ideology all around the world.
These days, it's also American-owned social media platforms, Instagram, YouTube, Twitch that are the conveyor belts of world culture.
What the catch is that, despite running these platforms, there is more anti-empire sentiment rising than ever before.
This is, I think, pretty ironic.
The Spanish-American War, arguably the beginning of the American Empire, was started in the Yellow Press.
But now, the information people consume, especially since the start of Israel's post-October 7 genocide,
the information people consume is guiding them towards anti-empire thoughts and beliefs.
The big part of that is because I think people's material conditions are unwinding,
and the contradictions are worsening. It's impossible not to notice,
because it's certainly not because of the political education of the average American.
They're not exactly very class conscious.
Now, I think this kind of techno feudalist control can also, at the same time, reinforce
American hegemony.
There's a lot of feudalist stuff that gets attention.
For example, the world economy is about the collapse, and yet for the past week or so,
if you've been on Twitter or if you've gone and read the Jewish insider publication or
numerous others, they're talking about me for some weird reason.
We're talking about my Twitch stream and which candidates I associate with, which is ridiculous.
But the most important information isn't reaching people.
A recent Harvard Harris poll found that, yes, while the war was unpopular,
also 76% of voters think that America's winning the war.
Unbelievable.
It's cattle, really.
Anyway.
Americans in their hearts still believe we're invincible.
Americans believe in American exceptionalism still.
People are, I think, unprepared for the economic and political calamity
that seems to be on its way.
I want to end my remarks tonight with this.
Silicon Valley's biggest companies
wrote the smartphone and social media
to greater riches than any other sector of the economy,
anywhere else in the world.
It appears that Silicon Valley's next phase will be all about artificial intelligence.
Although AI could disrupt many industries and its collapse could pop a huge economic bubble,
one of my biggest fears these days is about AI and the military.
Increasingly, the new tech giants for our day such as Palantir, Yuck, OpenAI, and Prophec
They see their role as supporting the American Empire.
These companies help the military develop kill lists.
They help intelligence agencies do spy work.
And they, of course, do so much more than we even know about.
Israel also utilized AI in their kill lists, in their targeting systems as well.
Something that we are learning from them.
The American Empire is leaking energy.
Leaking the power that has made it work for over a century
But as you know, there are powerful forces merchants of death who are ready to profit and profit and profit
Even as the Empire dies a
Challenge for your generation of Stanford will be to confront these forces head-on
You know this better than me you live here
They've probably been talking about Peter Vilsen's orientation. I assume
But that makes your work even more important.
The Cuban patriot Jose Martí once said of living in the United States that he had lived
in the belly of the beast and thus he knew it well.
You all live in the belly of the beast.
You know it well.
Use the knowledge to fight it for a better world.
Sound the alarm on techno fascist danger.
Stand up for the poor and the dispossessed.
Palestine. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, everyone.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, everyone.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Can I have a minute for the hearing?
Want to hear from the hearing.
I'll take a stop.
Oh, should you want me to sit down right now?
All right, let's hear it back on.
Testing, okay, everyone can hear us?
Cool, can hear us, hopefully as well.
Thank you so much, Josson, for that wonderful speech.
give another round of applause.
Alright, so we all know who Hassan is, but today we have the moderators here, me and
and we're here to have a conversation,
a relational conversation with the song,
and then we'll be opening up to the crowd,
as my mom said, in the last 20 minutes,
so please send in any questions
or any questions you want to pose in the audience.
But first, let's introduce ourselves.
My name is Judy Song.
I'm an organizing here with the
Stand for the Asian American Action Committee, or SAI.
We're...
What's SAI?
What's SAI?
What's SAI?
What's SAI?
What's SAI?
SAI is an Asian American socialist
and anti-inherent organization.
If you want to learn more about us,
we scan the QR codes.
I'm also an organizer within PSL,
we're the marketing and socialism and integration,
shout out to the area.
I want to hear from you guys first on this day.
Hi everyone, I'm Anna Thurute,
and I'm the organizer of the state of SJP,
we're organizing a lot of call-in-calls,
I'm going to start with a call.
I mean, make sure that people can read today, how great to go about the forum, and get it called as good as possible.
We need an ability to move a little bit right now, so, yeah.
Alright, cool, let's start it out with, um, so, we've talked a lot about this, we've talked about the Empire,
we see what's going on in Iran, Trump right now, he's beginning to address talking about what's going on in Iran,
and the past year we've seen a lot of oscillations with the dimensional, we've seen the genocide in Gaza continue,
We've seen the blockade in a few months you visited.
We're seeing the ongoing war in bomb,
which allegedly took place on the ground perhaps soon.
To start off with, how do you,
and specifically we see the connected
interactions with how the US empire is working,
not only historically, but just this point now,
like why now are we seeing all these escalations
and how do you want us to interpret this?
I think that Donald Trump is the perhaps purest expression of American race and American imperialism that we've ever seen.
He's very vulgar. He says the quiet part out loud. And in many respects, that's part of the reason why they like him.
And this works for, you know, domestic policy. And maybe, God forbid, it might work for foreign policy as well.
well. It has been really funny seeing people like Maddie Glacias and all these other like
famous liberals, famous writers that have spent an entire lifetime talking about how
like America has to be the world police and put this like liberal intellectual patina
on American imperialism, fall apart every single time Donald Trump just comes out and
says, I'm going to go to Venezuela for oil. I want to invade Venezuela for the oil.
It's for nothing else but the oil and everyone's like,
whoa, whoa, that doesn't make any sense.
Would it, you sound like the Leninist or something.
Like, why are you saying that?
And it's like, yeah, because it's an honest assessment
of events.
But on the one hand, people hear that and they like it.
Many Americans have this chauvinist mentality.
But there's also a lot of people who might have bought in
to the liberal propaganda associated with these sorts
of incidents with these sorts of actions.
And there was a tremendous opportunity
for organizing there, because a lot of people,
when they hear that, when they hear their president
sound like a villain, all of a sudden, they don't like it.
They might have bought into the idea
that liberal intervention is a necessity to,
I don't know, save gay people in Afghanistan
or whatever people are saying.
But when Donald Trump says a quiet part out loud,
at least in my experience, I've seen a lot of people
that previously bought into that idea,
turn around and say, okay, this is actually unacceptable.
It was for oil, my bad.
So there is, while we've become more violent
than ever before, and both Israel
and the United States of America
are purposely destroying what remains
of the argument for the international rule-based order,
there are a lot of people who are now recognizing
the reality that all of this pain,
all of this violence, all of this destruction
is simply for extractive purposes.
And those initiatives don't even necessarily
benefit people, like ordinary people,
especially because we're now living 25 years after
the failure of the global war on terror.
So a lot of Americans understand when you say,
I wanna go and do regime change,
or I wanna go and invade this country,
and I wanna get their oil.
Americans don't really like that as much.
They understand that it doesn't translate
to American volunteer, American wealth for them, right?
Even if they don't have the tools to communicate it,
personally, they have this understanding,
they have this suspicion that all of this is being done
for somebody else, someone that's infinitely wealthier,
someone that they'll never actually see.
And I think that is why this is a tremendous opportunity
for people like yourselves to go out there and organize
and talk to people.
From all different backgrounds, by the way,
This is not just a youth movement any longer.
As a matter of fact, I see a lot of older people,
both in this crowd as well, but certainly older people
when I go out for these protests.
A lot of people pan the No Kings protests, for example.
They're like, oh, it's just liberal stuff.
It's disorganized, it's rudderless.
What are they protesting?
It becomes this like,
omnicause.
Like, oh, it's Donald Trump.
But all of the barkers and the demism that I talked to
that are 65 plus at these protest,
they're pretty radical in the way that they're talking.
It's not just about like calling Trump a pedophile,
but they do all the time.
The shocking amount.
But they also are very frustrated.
They're not saying, they're not praising the,
they're not praising the Lord of Yom Kassin War or anything,
but they are very frustrated with what's going on in Gaza.
They're very frustrated that we're,
Weegee bore with Iran, another war of choice,
causing tremendous instability.
And I don't know, I think that that is,
unlike anything else I've ever experienced before.
And I've been doing this with the same anti-appealist
perspective for the past 13 years at this point.
God, I'm old.
And I have never been able to pinch and collect
of consciousness in the ways that I have
in the last couple of years.
And I think a big swing happened because once the dam broke
against the very sophisticated pervasive influence
peddling operation of Zionist lobbying and Zionist
organizing, Zionist advocacy groups,
once people actually realized that all of that was bullshit,
that actually caused them to really reconsider
what they thought of foreign adversaries
that they've learned are evil and barbaric
and worthy of domination.
So I think in many respects, Palestine
has been a formative part of saving the Western world
as well.
So that's what I feel.
Sorry, that was very long and worthy.
No, no, no.
I'll go ahead.
On all of that, you said that Trump is the pinnacle,
the epitome of US capitalism, of the empire.
Could you say a few words to maybe some disillusion
to the rules out there, either in chat or in the crowd,
we think that maybe by turning away from Trump's lawn,
if Trump is gone, that things will be over.
How do you kind of address what would you like to say
to those liberals who may be kind of Trump is not a synod
but Trump is just an unfortunate
of US capitalism, democracy.
Yeah, vote blue no matter who, baby.
That's it.
That's all I gotta say.
Yeah, Kirsten Gillibray in 2028.
Yeah, of course, Trump is a singular force, perhaps the best demonstrations, the human
personification of unlimited greed, pedophilic violence, he behaves like a rapist, he is
a rapist, he talks like a rapist, he literally, when he's communicating about what he will
do to other countries, he also comes across with that same exact energy, he's gross, it's
repulsive, people see that, and they're grossed out by it.
But he's not alone. He's a representation of all of the same exact capitalist forces that have dominated American politics on both sides of the political spectrum.
We have consensus politics in this country on a lot of issues that pertain to the day-to-day existence of ordinary Americans.
we have consensus on the privatization of health care.
Just an incredibly deadly endeavor.
50,000 people die as a consequence
of not having access to health care.
It's unbelievable.
We're the only OECD nation on the planet
that doesn't offer free health care.
Medicine shouldn't be payable.
It's a ridiculous concept.
Other countries look at us and they're horrified by it.
And yet, if you ask the average American, they think,
no, that'd be communism, I think,
if we were to have cheap medicine,
if we had affordable pharmaceutical products.
And it's because someone is making money out there.
And if Democrats don't actually address
these unique cruelties born out of American existence,
born out of American capitalism,
if they don't try to solve those problems,
if they simply lean into the disasters of Donald Trump,
calamity that he unfolds,
and hopefully eat out a marginal nature,
both in the midterms, and also in the general election,
there's possible fascism, there's growth in fascism
that disgusts you when you see mass thugs
that are unaccountable running around like the Gestapo
and kidnapping your neighbors, harassing you.
It's not going to go away.
And the Democrats that don't even choose
to address that problem, the ones that say,
Oh, we have to reformize and not abolish it, for example.
Those Democrats are not going to be your allies.
They're going to be your enemies,
because they are going to be fascist collaborators.
So that's what I have to say to the liberals.
I tried to remind them of the anger and resentment
that they felt in their hearts
when Donald Trump was the president
when the 2024 election was happening.
But unfortunately, the feckless,
cowardly, conciliatory nature of the National Democratic Party,
once again, decided to run to the center, run to the middle,
and try to win over these mythical, moderate, centrist voters.
And it failed.
It failed again.
But it failed in such a spectacular way
that it became unavoidable.
It became an elephant in the room that virtually every lifelong
Democrat had to address.
And that's precisely why there's a lot of discontent
towards not only Trump,
it was unprecedentedly unpopular right now,
but a lot of discontent and animosity
directed towards the Democrats as well.
And you see that in the polling.
Democrats are supposed to be very popular right now,
they're at the opposition party, they're not.
They're actually very unpopular,
even though they're the opposition party.
There's a reason for that.
It's because I think Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries
And people like that are perhaps best representative
of this lack of interest in finding real solutions
and actually trying to combat fascism in this country.
And Americans are frustrated with it.
But like I said, there is a little bit of hope.
And the hope is that people do want that change.
So we have to organize to make sure
that they have the political education,
they have the tools to be able to address
these issues head on,
that they organized it sometimes like that against the growth of fascism in their neighborhoods.
As Minneapolis did, and it was very successful, you know, shout out to Minneapolis,
they were able to successfully encourage the Ivy Stubs from their neighborhood.
And that was the first scout, right? That was the...
Like, Kiersey Nome, whose husband has incredible models.
Have you guys seen Kiersey Nome's husband's titties?
Oh, yeah.
Unbelievable.
Anyway, but Chirstie Dome was demoted,
downgraded from her position,
for a litany of different corruption charges.
But that's normally something
that is overlooked in this administration.
I mean, if you're not doing corruption
in this administration,
you're really a part of the admin.
It's like going to the Bohemian Grove,
you have to get your toes and pedophilia a little bit
to be a part of the lead, right?
It's kind of like that.
They have to do these little schemes.
But she was taken out of commission because there was too much pressure.
And the Trump administration had to alleviate some of that pressure.
They had to take out Greg Bovino and then also Kirsten Ohm.
And now they're even floating the idea of pushing out hand body as well.
So it's good.
The administration is on the back foot now.
Finally, it took like two years, but it's happening.
It only happened not because the Democrats actually pushed for it.
It only happened because you organized and you pushed for it.
So remember that.
We do have the power.
We can actually set up hurdles.
We can actually develop the works,
make it as complicated as possible,
make it as difficult as possible,
and resist in every facet of our lives
in very meaningful ways.
I don't mean like 2016 hashtag, resist this liberalism.
I'm not talking about wearing a pussy hat
and going out to protest to say, orange man is bad.
I'm talking straight up, neighborhood watch, mutual aid,
direct action, things like that,
and also joining sometimes radical organizations as well.
So, you know, there's hope.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
It was as cold as hell in hell.
Oh, wait a minute.
It was hot.
How cold was it for them?
Yeah, I was actually there, too.
It was like 90 to 20.
Yeah.
I know you were at the Target Center, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, I was there for the one day of direct action.
Yeah.
And that was unbelievable.
That was the worst experience of my life.
I'm a baby, okay?
I live in LA.
It's always 75 degrees in sunny.
It's amazing.
But this was like I looked and it was colder in Minneapolis than it was in
fucking Alaska. It was like 20 degrees colder in Minneapolis than it was in Alaska.
It was insane.
It's like 100,000 people put up on the floor.
Yes.
Yeah, that's awesome. That's awesome.
It's also where I realized like these ice guys don't see soul races.
They're literally like, oh I have to. I have to kidnap people.
even if it's like minus 35 degrees.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
But Minneapolis is always printout.
We'll always print out something else.
And they're proud of you.
But I was also thinking, so we've
seen a lot of politicians.
This is a very big time.
He said, you know, he's seen anything like it
in the last 12 years as a defender.
In the middle of the session, we saw the killing of Alex
Cronin and Renee Good.
We also saw that spark of an entire general strike
mistake on the 23rd of January.
We also saw that following subsequent shutdown
Nationally as we also have on campus recently here if you went to the shut down on the 30th
And we're also seeing closer just right on May 1st on May day
So what do you think about kind of what it says about the state of the American working class right now?
We're headed and how to actually fight back what this indicates and what you want to say specifically on those actions
Yeah, I mean, it's always good. I will never cast aside any kind of protest movement, even like no kings, as I always tell people, like, you should go there and you should talk to the people that are there.
Just because they don't have the language to communicate exactly what their desires are doesn't mean that they're not with you.
They might not understand what ideological tendencies that they represent.
They might not have a political language of education, but it doesn't matter.
They have a lot of discontent.
They have a lot of anger, and it's actually productive anger, right?
It's not anger that can be easily misdirected in the way that Republicans do all the time,
where they take the working class presentments that people have for understandable reasons,
and then redirect it back to vulnerable populations as though they are responsible, as though they
are your landlords, as they are your bosses, right?
That's not the case.
So it's up to all of us to to get these people on board. That's number one
number two as far as direct action or as far as like general strikes goes obviously May Day
America doesn't really have a at least in contemporary society doesn't really have a strong
labor history or a strong understanding of labor history even though
Initially it played a big role
in labor militancy
I think
Facilitating a real general strike is going to require a lot more than red and post and social media
and getting people together to take time off from work for the day.
It's good that people are doing that. It's good that they're showing that they're capable of mobilizing.
But I think like a real general strike or a significant strike for key sectors is going to require a lot more planning.
more planning. And there are people who are doing that right now. Sean Fain has
talked about floating the idea of general strike for not just, you know, the UAW,
which he represents, but also all these other major labor unions. But that's, you
know, as far out there in the future. But for the time being, I think it's
important to, it's important to join organizations and learn a little bit
about the tactics and also develop a sense of community and create a mutual support network.
So I think it's good, all this action is good, but obviously it needs to grow and it needs
to be more significant.
It needs to strike at the core of capital, the profit centers, because until you do that,
until you can show the only power that you have
as a working class individual is your productive capabilities.
And if you can organize and you can show your bosses,
you can show capital owners,
then you can shut off those productive capabilities
through work stoppages,
then you become a much more powerful entity.
You become a much more powerful representation
of the working class.
You can make those actual demands
that the Democrats currently don't want to listen to
and can easily cast aside.
You just have to become undeniable, unavoidable.
And the only way to do that is through organizing.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Our next question was actually in regards to electoral
policies that you've kind of touched upon.
It's my favorite.
Yes.
I'm not holding.
You know, not only does it come clear to us that the two-part system, as we discussed before,
puts capitalism first, puts the people's interests last, as we see with healthcare, most currently as well.
But yeah, we kind of just wanted to ask, we also saw the Democratic Party's attacking view as well,
very community now as well, just like what are the alternatives?
It's very clear everyone has become conscious and like, it's done with the two-part system.
So what are some alternatives for people
to navigate and see electoral politics?
I know that there is especially for the California
governor race, there is other candidates,
like Ramsey Johnson who's running as a governor,
and many other red candidates as well, shout out,
but yeah, just wondering if there's some of your thoughts
on how people should approach that.
Yeah, so this might offend a lot of people,
now especially because I feel like there's a lot of
to get some people here who I love and admire.
It's a great organization.
But my attitude on this is something
that's often critically penned as entry,
which is not the case, right?
I believe that what is necessary, at least
analyzing where the masses are and how they self-identify,
I believe what the masses need currently
is class consciousness and political education
first and foremost, because they don't have it.
They don't understand it.
It's something that I'm only seeing from small business
tyrants all the way to big business owners, right?
They have class consciousness.
They know exactly what they're doing.
But the average working class person
does not understand this at all.
And in order to build class consciousness,
what I have seen, at least in the Western world,
in Western liberal capitalist democracies,
where most parties, even if it's a parliamentary one,
or certainly aren't duopoly that we have here in America,
There are bourgeois liberal capitalist parties, right?
They're not going to have real radicals.
They're not going to have socialists.
And in America, they don't even have like
pro-labor candidates in general.
But the success that I've seen in terms of membership,
in terms of driving up membership
for socialist organizations has always come
from electoral victories.
Bernie Sanders demonstrated this perfectly independent
Senator from Vermont, but he ran as a Democrat in 2016.
And a big part of the reason why a lot of people
are in this room is in some way, shape, or form,
directed back to them.
Bernie Sanders came out, said he's a Democratic socialist,
and a lot of people were like, what does that mean, really?
I don't fully understand it.
Now, some people were there already,
but it doesn't matter.
Many Americans now, including even people like Zoram Mungani,
say that they were influenced by Bernie Sanders in 2016.
So that's a very powerful tool.
And especially because the Democratic Party is very weak right now, I think there's an
opportunity more than ever before to at least seize control of certain races and primary
out bad candidates and build as much of a socialist force within the ranks with the
express purpose of funneling people into political organizing that allows them to recognize
class consciousness and educate themselves by way of membership. And then we see where it goes
from that point on. Because I don't think that the Democratic Party is ever going to be anything but
the bourgeois party. I don't think the Democratic Party is going to do anything but represent
corporate interests. I don't want that to be the case. And maybe we get lucky one day, but I don't
care what it's called, right? I don't care if you call it the Democratic Party. I don't care what
Whatever you call it, I just want the best interest of the working class to be represented
by some party, any party, right?
And instead of trying to litigate ballot access in every single state, I feel as though the
best possible way to organize and create outside pressure systems and become an undeniable
force that's unyielding, that is going to fight for a working class, for labor-related
issues in labor rights in general, utilizing the Democratic Party by way of pushing for
socialist candidates, like openly socialist candidates, openly candidates that are openly
affiliated with organizations like Democratic Socialism or even the PSL, and pushing for
membership that way is the best, at least in my experience, the most successful method.
No class for that. See how he, I knew it. Everyone was like revolution now. I have a communism
button, I'm just refusing to press it. One day.
Yeah, that was totally, um, I was not a student.
We can argue on it if you want. It's fine.
I don't know. I totally agree. Yeah. Join our organization, join it down, what we see with the King's Proc Axis.
This is a great time to let you talk to your peers, talk to the Grand Monument and Grand House on the street.
Yeah.
I want everyone showing up to the May Bay strikes, participate in these strikes, because obviously a revolution doesn't have been spontaneous for you.
The labor movement is shortly in America
in the week because the United States has
had a balanced aesthetic line for decades.
The strongest empire, the strongest force
we've ever seen in history.
So this revolution in America, it's not going to happen
immediately.
Socialism is not going to happen immediately.
It takes small steps.
It takes a lot more politics.
It takes telling people what a general strike is,
what happened on January 23rd in Minnesota,
and what is happening on May Day in a few months,
especially long, long time in the past.
But yeah, totally agree.
For our last question, before we open it up to the Q&A
that you guys have been sending,
we are in a room full of Stanford students in here.
As we mentioned in the speech before,
AI and faculty here, the connections between Silicon Valley
and military industrial conflicts,
it's been embedded in the actual foundation of Stanford.
The DOD would not look like what it does right now.
The standard would not look like what it does right now without each other.
They're physically intertwined.
So without in mind the standard that the board has still got to be,
what do you want to say in front of these groups of hundreds of students
on how they can get involved in the movement
and what their role specifically is at the core of the empire?
Ooh, this is a tough one.
I mean, look, at the end of the day you have to work.
Okay, you have to make money. You have to survive. I
Am not going to be like oh you should not work for any company at all. You should only work for an ethical company
But one thing you can do is take control over your own
Workplace and the only way to do that is through labor organizing. So if you do work for one of these companies
I think the best possible thing you could do is
is work with Assault or some kind of labor union
to try to organize your workplace.
Because I think you can get a lot done
if you see the company that you work for
start moving in a less ethical direction,
which I feel like happens quite a bit in Silicon Valley.
I think what was it, Google was like,
don't do any evil or something?
Was there motto?
And then they were like, actually fuck that.
We love doing evil.
Evil makes us so much money!
And for that reason, if there was better organizing
in companies like this, then they would have better protection.
There were Microsoft employees that came out
and spoke out against what Microsoft was doing
in collaboration with the science entity,
the State of Israel, in terms of,
I believe it was for sure, that they were utilizing
and the employees actually drove up, they spoke out,
and they actually did achieve some results,
even though I think they got fired for it as well in the process.
But if they were organized, if they had labor protections,
for example, they would not have had to deal with them.
That process would have been far better for them.
That process would have been far better as far as being able to survive
that process without getting fired, right?
Being able to start that process and maybe even have the legal backing.
Because these organizations are labor unions, because they're a very powerful
They have lawyers that are specifically designed
to protect you in a situation like that.
And you can communicate with the rest of your workplace.
It's not just about gaining autonomy in your workplace
so that you can get better benefits and higher wages
and take off more of your, you know,
surplus labor value.
It also gives you the opportunity to say,
look, I'm a part of this process.
I'm a part of the building, whatever we're building here.
And I personally find it unconscionable
what we are, the direction that we're heading,
and I want to stop it.
If you are a part of the labor union,
you can actually have a say in that process.
And that's what it's all about.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
I think this is a lot of students here in the life.
Just a pop of hand around labor unions
where people don't even know what a labor union is
or what an union is.
Because of the power that people can grow
through V and I think, especially in like technical histories,
like patterns here at HP.
So it was great to hear from you in terms of motivating people
to organize around that.
Next we're going to transition into questions
from the audience that we're receiving.
I can read you the first one.
Do you think, the first question is,
do you think the collective American fevery will
remember the insanity of current events in the 2028 elections?
Or will crises like the genocide in HUSTA
and the world, you know, on be far behind.
I don't know.
Because every day is a fresh nightmare.
So I want to say these are important incidents,
world-changing events.
And they still are ongoing.
And not only are they still ongoing, but also even
what's happening in Iran right now,
and the Iranian retaliation towards American imperialism
has a lot to do with what has taken place over the course
of the last two and a half years.
And I would even go so far as say that the Western response
to that, which wasn't immediately to say, oh, yeah,
let's go over the wrong.
It's awesome.
Let's destroy Iran.
But instead to say, why are we doing that?
Is that are we doing that for Israel?
Why are you saying we're doing that for Israel?
That's unbelievable.
Like, the reaction has, the reaction's been the way it is,
I think partially because it's expanding on what people
have seen thus far.
So, you know, in the absence of something even more
cataclysmic than what we've experienced so far,
I don't think that they're gonna go away,
but Donald Trump is shot in the world, you know.
So who knows?
Yeah, every day is a new night, and I don't know if I'm going to wake up 100 years from, but anyway, so the next question is, can you talk more about your review of this?
What was the morale of the people and what was the future holds, and that's a person who's involved in organizing review of what are the strategies, and to me personally I would love to hear more about how you thought about the state of socialism in Cuba, and the history of the people, the spirit, everything that you've learned from your experience.
Yeah. Cuba was amazing. It's one of the... I'm not like a big nature fan at all. I'll just,
you know, straight up come out and say that. But I was actually shocked by how beautiful Cuba was
when we first landed. I was like, damn, this is like a movie. It was the first time for me.
So sorry if it's just, you know, saying something stupid. But very quickly, I went from feeling
excited to feeling very sad. I talked to Obama's National Stewards Guards of
Bedroats who played a formative role in the Cuban normalization that took place
from Obama's president, one of the more legal things he's done as far as
normal policy, even the Cubans were shocked by it. I asked that. No, I'm not even kidding. I asked the
foreign vice minister, most of you, I was like, so how'd you guys feel about this
when Obama did it, he was like, we had no idea why he did it.
To this day, we don't know why he just kind of gave us that, like, you know, temporary
ease, temporary respite.
But he told me that I would get very sad when I went there, to see all the poverty and to
see what we've done in this country, and he was right, I was sad.
And then very quickly, I became very angry, because we have robbed this island, this beautiful
island with beautiful people, 10 million people living there, of its unlimited potential.
They're still surviving regardless, but it's very obvious that America's impact is everywhere.
When you go to the island and you're walking down the streets of Havana and you see these
dilapidated buildings, they're beautiful on the exterior, but inside it looks like it's
bombed out, and you realize they can't rebuild these houses, and part of that is because
purchasing the tools necessary is sometimes either completely restricted due to the American
sanctions regime or people just simply don't have enough money. Now, some might look at
that and say, oh, that's because it's communism. Communism is for all the Cuban people. But
from what I saw, at least talking to the people, ordinary Cubans and certainly extraordinary
Cubans as well, people that work in not only positions of power, but like working in academia,
that have played a formative role in developing a new medication and people that are a part
of the productive process, one thing was immediately clear to me that there are arbitrary restrictions
that impact every step of Cuban existence, like every step of the process.
I'll give you an example.
I was talking to a surgeon in the Havana Hospital.
It's a massive compound.
And he told me that sometimes the electricity goes out
because since 2019, the trauma administration
under, you know, trauma one implemented
a secondary sanctions regime on Cuban oil.
It's a very restrictive process that limited
the amount of oil that was coming into the island.
Oil is obviously a necessity for the electricity grid
that they have, it also is necessary for transport,
it's necessary for refrigeration,
whether it be for medication or whether it be for food,
it's as necessary for everything, right?
And they started restricting all the oil
that was coming out of the island in 2019,
and this somewhat quiet process,
and this somewhat invisible process,
and it's important that this process is invisible.
However, in the last three or four months,
Trump administration decided to implement a total blockade of oil. So for the past
three months, with the exception of the Russian oil vendor that just docked in
the ports of Havana, Cuba has had no oil whatsoever. So there's like rolling
blackouts for 36 hours. Everything is shut down, right? And hospitals also can't
keep up with that. There's not enough oil on the island, so the electricity cuts
And sometimes that electricity cuts out, as the surgeon was telling me, during a surgery.
So I was like, what do you do if that happens?
And he's like, we just sew up the patient, and we just do it again.
We try it again later.
A doctor told my colleague and friend, Brian Grimm, that in the childcare unit, there's babies on ventilators.
And there's a five minute window between when the electricity shuts down,
when the electricity is completely blacked out, and when the generator kicks in, there's a five minute window.
So nurses and doctors rush in to the childcare unit and hand pump the ventilators for the five minute process.
So we're literally just killing children.
And we're doing it in this almost automated manner.
We're doing this in this invisible manner.
And many Americans are completely oblivious to it.
And we're doing it to an island that is 90 miles off of our coast.
Like it's so close, it's so accessible.
And I mean the restrictions are endless.
Cuban businesses can't get loans to, you know,
they can't get loans from any company whatsoever.
There's also a tech element in this too,
because like the entire world utilizes American tech.
So for example, if you're an Italian man, let's say,
and you're talking to your friend in Switzerland,
and you send him money on Venmo or PayPal,
and in the memo, you write Cuba Libre,
like for the Cuban drink.
Both of those accounts will get shut down.
So it's so arbitrary, it's so ruthless, it's so ridiculous,
but it's so pervasive.
And that's just like a silly restriction,
But it expands far beyond that.
It makes it virtually impossible to send money
into relatives.
It's very difficult to do that.
And we've made it that way.
And it's totally unnecessary.
We've made it that way because we
want to present an argument that communism so close to home
cannot thrive.
It cannot work.
It's a failure.
It's an ideological failure.
This project has to fail.
And it hasn't.
It's survived in spite of American intervention,
partially because of the USSR at times and Venezuela
at other times.
But in the aftermath of the dissolution of the USSR,
things got much harder for Cuba.
And now, even if they want to implement reforms
and marketize their economy, liberalize their economy
in certain ways, they can't do it.
Once again, I asked the foreign vice minister,
like, would you do, you know,
don't shout pain style liberalization initiatives?
And he said that they were open to reform,
but the embargo and the blockade make it impossible
because who would invest in the island
if the American government could put sanctions on them?
And even though who would invest in the island
If the, at least for the Helms of Bertnack from 1996,
which is, again, our own domestic legal maneuvering
that, once again, makes it impossible
to start a business in Cuba or develop anything in Cuba,
because the American government,
a Cuban American can go and say,
this was a stolen asset for me,
and arbitrarily sue the government of Cuba
for stolen assets.
It's things like that that make it virtually impossible
to do any sort of normal commerce.
And then we sit around and we have like,
we're not doing anything in this island at all.
Another ridiculous restriction
that I personally experienced
and also got yelled at quite a bit
was the idea that I stayed in a five-star hotel.
Everyone was talking about that.
They're like, oh, rich communists, caviar communists,
stay in a five-star hotel.
What a lot of people didn't know
is that I didn't have a say in that process.
There's only four hotels in Havana
that the American government allows you to stay in
as an American citizen.
It's an unbelievable restriction.
It's so stupid.
And yet, if I did not abide by that,
and we had a massive group,
and there's not a lot of places
when the I was experiencing rolling blackouts
that can accommodate hundreds of people,
but if I were to stay in any other hotel I wanted to,
as I could in any other country,
I could go to prison for 10 years
and have to pay a fine of $250,000.
That's unbelievable.
And yet, that is by design.
It's the design of the American government.
I earlier said there was no,
there was not a single drop of oil that entered the island.
That's also not entirely true.
There's two places where oil shipments
are happening with regular frequency.
One is Guantanamo Bay, our torture prison,
which has a McDonald's on it, by the way.
They have all of the latest gear,
all the latest technology, they ship cars
to Guantanamo Bay, they can live.
Americans fly to Guantanamo Bay
and live their normal lives there,
and it's right there, it's these human soil,
and we own it, right?
So they have electricity.
The other place where America's allowing oil
to be shipped to is private businesses.
So it's the hotels that we were staying in
that the American government allowed us to stay in,
otherwise you'd throw us in jail.
Those were the hotels that actually had gas
that they could put in their generators.
And it's so crazy that they have forcibly created
class antagonism in a country
that has had a successful revolution
that turned into a socialist revolution.
It wasn't one initially for a negrarian revolution,
it was a national revolution, it was a revolution for sovereignty.
And it's one that turned into a socialist revolution afterwards.
And yet, America has tried to forcibly implement
class friction in this country by tilting the scales
in favor of private businesses,
so that there's animosity and anger
that regular Cubans feel towards these businesses
that are in operation.
They want you to look at the lights that are on
at the hotel and think, see, this is the government.
This is the government's doing.
They're keeping the hotel lights on,
but your hospital and your energy grid is taken out.
And it's very nefarious, very insidious
the way they've done this.
And I think it's purposely made invisible
through this bureaucratic timer
that they've created, it's economic warfare.
So they can try to stabilize the country
without ever firing a bullet or dropping a bomb.
I mean, yeah, but he was told that it was right,
People are still struggling, people are still proud,
people are still surviving the social system,
they're still surviving despite the strongest U.S. empire
and the strongest empire we've ever seen,
the history of the world, giving it everything it's all
out of it.
And I want to know what you see, like us,
a list of like Cuba, which has completely eradicated
these diabetes at the list, like other child transition,
it has the strongest style of technology,
industries in the world.
I think they're old out of the COVID vaccine,
ready to go to the United States again.
They also have medical missions
where they send down vaccines all across
to like therapy,
and I think they could be closed open up,
like if they go out there
and like help support people there.
Cuba sends more.
They, it's very interesting perspective.
I talked to the doctors that have done this as well.
There's a Palestinian who was actually in medical school
in Cuba.
There's 250 of them.
There's tens of thousands of doctors
that come from all around the world
men's schools that come from all around the world to get free education, and then they
joined these medical missions.
And what was really remarkable about it is that down to the, you know, down to the neurosurgeon,
all the way to these doctors that are going on these international missions, they felt
like they were living out revolutionary socialism in the way that they were able to help people.
So they do have a very interesting perspective in that regard.
It's almost like patriotic to say, but that is certainly something that I saw as well.
And yeah, I interviewed Dr. Mitchell Valdes, and he is responsible, he's a very famous
neuroscientist, responsible for developing the only working Alzheimer's and dementia
treatment that's out there right now, and currently is going through phase three trials
in Canada, but the roadblocks that the American governments placed upon them in terms of the
academic boycott, in terms of rendering academic cooperation impossible, it's unbelievable.
He told me, Jack Ma, I believe, wanted to send Cinebex to the island of Cuba. The American
governments stopped them. The American government stopped the Cuban island from getting Cinebex.
So they said, all right, fuck it, we're
going to make our own vaccine.
And they did, right?
And then, not only did they develop
their own indigenous COVID vaccine,
they did what Cuba always does, and they sent it
to all these other Latin American countries.
So what did America do?
America did the exact same thing that they did in the Philippines.
They created a vaccine hesitancy campaign in Latin America.
They undermined the efficacy of the vaccine
claimed that the vaccine was not actually good, just as they had done so with Cinevax in the Philippines,
because they were worried that China would engage in soft power initiatives in the island by giving them Cinevax.
So it is so disruptive and so destructive our force around the world.
It's something that is happening every single day, and I think if more people, more Americans were aware of it,
They would be very frustrated because this is not something that any normal human being
of good conscience is going to look at and say, oh yeah, I'm glad that we're destroying
their social life medicine system.
I fucking hate social life medicine so much.
I want to make sure that Cubans don't have it, and I want to make sure that they stop
giving it to other countries because that's what Marco Rubio did, where he actually stopped
Guatemala and Jamaica and these smaller countries, poor countries, he pressured them to stop
the Cuban medical missions, which in Jamaica,
Cuban doctors provide 100% coverage in Jamaica.
So all of these places that are underdeveloped,
they're never going to have doctors ever again.
So the politicians in Jamaica that actually
listened to the pressures and came to the pressures
that Marco Rubio demanded, they might
be able to get platinum health care in their own country.
They might be able to fly out to the United States of America
and get the health care that they need.
But the average Jamaican citizen that
that lives in the countryside is now never gonna be able to see another doctor ever again.
And that's unfuckin' believable.
And it's something that doesn't benefit anybody at all.
It's just pure villain behavior.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And so I want to know, so you guys are walking into the healthcare system,
or is there any where where Cuban doctors are going?
Cuban doctors are going into a lot of places.
A question from the crowd is, I feel though a lot of organizing is done due to outside pressure like ISIS and Palestine.
What will it take for people to organize inward from an ideal universal health care or nationalizing the DNA needs?
So bring that socialized medicine back to us today.
How do you organize the naturalizer, your municipal, like private energy providers?
providers, I don't know how to answer that.
I've never thought about organizing to nationalize PG&E,
which we should do.
I think that's more so just political pressure campaigns
that you engage with and valid initiatives
that you push for once you are a part of a robust political
organization.
That's usually how you do it, right?
And then there's also, we get 501c3s and advocacy groups
that are tasked with stuff like this as well.
That's not my area of knowledge or expertise,
so I can't speak on that that well.
But I'm pretty sure that there are already,
like I said, 501c3s and other organizations
that specifically are tasked with
trying to make these political changes.
Because I don't think it's about
work stoppage at that point, right?
I think it's about like protesting outside of PG&E,
which, you know, I mean, it's not gonna be unhealthy
to do that, you know, I think it's great,
but in order to make the necessary change,
I feel like that's when you have to lean
into politicians, unfortunately.
Thank you for sharing.
I mean, it's very clear with any of these campaigns,
there needs to be like a clear strategy
and thinking of different prospects that go into it.
Our next question is from an audience member as well,
and I'll just break it as well,
but I think you've seen increased repression
even with the prairie land organizers who have gone through a horrible trial as well
and with the stand for the love on campus too, who are facing felony charges, the question
is why is it important to support student organizations like the stand for the love
in and why is organizing outside of electoral politics important? And then the third part
of the question is what is in the arms of Marvo?
Oh, great question, especially the last one came out of nowhere.
So it's actually interesting, the arms embargo question is actually kind of tied to the second question,
because we saw the DSA pressured Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and demanded that she subscribe to a full arms embargo
and no longer make this distinction between offensive and defensive weapons,
Even though she had never actually voted in a final bill to give any weapons to Israel,
in her track record, she's actually very pro-Palestine, one of the most pro-Palestine congresspersons.
She did actually defend the principle of funding the Iron Dome when she actively struck down
the Marjorie Taylor Greene provision as a ballot amendment that would make no distinction
between offensive and defensive weapons.
And not only did she vote against that provision,
she ended up not even voting for the bill,
so she didn't actually technically vote
to fund Israel at all,
but she chose to actually argue against it, right?
She chose to argue as to why she was making this distinction.
I think it's unnecessary, I think it's ridiculous,
you know, because she was one of the first voices
in Congress alongside Hekan Omar and Rashid Ali
to openly state that Israel was committing a genocide,
the turnaround once after that or a year after that to be like well they're
coming to genocide but we also have to give like Nazi Germany anti-aircraft
weapons systems you know well the the Dresden campaign is happening that's
ridiculous right so it didn't make any sense but now due to you know
organizational pressure due to many conversations that took place since that
moment as you responded to it and now she's in favor of a full embargo now
And that's really important.
The reason why it's really important
is because she's a nationally prominent figure.
So the moment that she comes out and says,
we are not going to, we shouldn't fund the Iron Dome.
We shouldn't fund defensive weapons for Israel
because they're not following our laws
and they're not following international laws.
That's a really important distinction
for someone like AOC to make
because all of a sudden that becomes the bottom.
That allows people like ourselves
to not only advocate for that, which we have been,
but then go beyond that, right?
Now we can push for sanctions,
now we can push for boycotts, more effectively, right?
And so I find that to be a very good thing in general,
when people like OZ come out and say that,
and because as soon as she did that,
it became a new litmus test for progressive candidates.
Because in the past, you would see the likes of, for example,
supporting Canada, of the All-Sidemen, Michigan Senate,
Shelf-South of the Ogle, and so on.
And he's running against Mallory McMorrow,
who was the war knight in the race,
who is like a moderate progressive.
Like, that's the lane that she's trying to occupy.
And against Haley Stevens.
And Haley Stevens is the apex dude, right?
She's backed by Chuck Schumer, she's backed by APEC.
They're pumping that race.
I mean, she's not very likable, but you know,
there's multiple billions of dollars
being put into that race.
And Mallory Midmorrow has,
I believe Mallory Midmorrow,
just by giving a policy paper to APEC privately,
which was out a later,
has what I would call an Israel skeptic style,
like a lot of these new progressive candidates,
like moderate progressives, want to lean into the popular momentum of anti-Zionism and anti-Israel sentiment,
but they also want to moderate in a way where it's not super offensive to donors.
And it's because they're not genuine, right?
And that's how you can expose this distinction by asking them,
do you believe in funding the iron dome, for example, and if they say yes, then that's how you understand how it is.
We're not talking to someone who is sincere.
talking to someone who's like principled, who's looking at this seriously, we're just
talking to someone who's a politician who is simply telling you what they think is the
most calculated response.
Abdul El Sayed on the other hand, even before AOC came out, was in favor of a total arms
embargo because there are a lot of candidates out there who are genuine, who have put a
lot of thought into this and who have a real opinion.
like he was also an advocate for Medicare for All for many,
many years, right?
He worked at Public Health in the state of Michigan.
I mean, he wrote a book about it.
He's a little bit of a nerd.
But that's an assessment that will be helpful, I think,
for a lot of other people.
I say to anyone who's listening, like there's three
standards that you can apply that make it so that if they
answer correctly, if a politician answers these
questions correctly, they're probably not going to get a lot
money from pro-Israel donors, including J Street, and they certainly might even invite
enmity and attention from the likes of APAC.
It's, do you believe Israel is committing a genocide, yes or no?
Do you believe Israel is an apartheid state, and will you commit to a full arms embargo
to the state of Israel?
And right now, as it stands, I think if you abide by those three standards, most of these
organizations that are trying to make sure that they bring in someone who's
still pro-Israel but can like play ball those organizations are probably not
going to give you money at that point and they might even actually you know
spend against you so that's how you can tell if someone is that's how you
separate people who are truly invested in this cause versus people who are you
know unserious and just trying to tell trying to win your your vote
Also, like, you know, I have an electoral policy in terms of going to the barrio, like shot out of here in the area.
We have the People's for Palestine Barrio campaign, and they just actually run a victory.
They passed the first barrio resolution.
I'm going to go for you, guys.
Yeah, if that's what you're asking me to talk about, yeah, I mean, that's...
The labor union in this country, unfortunately, is somewhat corporate, and unfortunately labor
militancy is a lost part in this country.
It is perhaps best demonstrated by the Italian labor unions with what they've done out there.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
They've just shut down the entire country for a week and they feel like it, hopefully,
Inshallah.
All right, well, thank you so much.
We are a little over time, so everyone, give a round of applause for the panelists.
Thank you.
You guys are so, so, so much.
We have all of you here, so I'm honored to be here with you today.
We're very, very proud to have you here today.
You should support the program on your own.
Yeah, so if you guys are around, I appreciate you having to do our code.
So please pull out that form before you leave.
That will make sure that everyone's
polite to different organizations.
Yeah, this is the second installment
for the long-term organizing.
We're all going to do this through.
And shout out to Time for Liberation,
State of the Nation American Actual Committee,
and State for FJP,
and other organizations.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
the history of black political work that's in the Bay Area, it'll be back to what our

if you want to learn more about socialism,
about imperialism, what those two words are going to mean,
we have a staff class.
This is every Monday, six to 7.20 am,
while for a call, room 318.
Or you can just go on access and search up
Asian American Studies 9SI,
where I'm a virtual class at the university,
and I'm teaching it.

One part of the program is called the Faculty of Justice Palestine, which is also a good class.
The Palestine class is CSRU 33. It will be every Friday from 10 to 30 until 20, so please go on and access the checker out.

It literally refuses to pick up anywhere but that it's because it thinks for
somewhere that we're not I I got it I'm gonna call

Did it seem like he didn't say anything?
No, is it monitored?
Um, I was trying to monitor the situation.
Um, but I, uh, you know, I had limited success in, in situation monitoring.
He's, he's nothing new, right?
Yeah.
He just, he's the one that he repeated his truths.
And by that, not even his true social post, but like the truths, like the undeniable,
unshakable truths that everyone must know, you say he's going to bomb back to Stony?
Same old same old.
We're going to bomb him harder or whatever.
I mean, we've done nine hours.
There's nothing new.
I'm going to end it here, actually.
And then I'll be, I'll be live tomorrow.
No, I said I would cover it, but I don't think there was anything like new, particularly,
so it's probably best that we do that.
Alright, chat.

this stuff and the Trump state of affairs and everything else tomorrow I'll
be live at the same time as always and then tomorrow I'm gonna be speaking at

of regular coverage.
