To get your hands in the game
Okay, during the history of our power on life, I stole F-16.
Horizon, subject, the light said, right, I stole F-16.
Oh, watch, the gears and the needles climb, I stole F-16.
Wait till 20, it will take me next time, I stole F-16.
I stole an F-16, unlock the gate and push it free
I stole an F-16, the bird comes alive with a roar of glee
I stole an F-16, turn the story, our hour on night
I stole an F-16, horizon centered, the light said right
I stole an F-16, watch the gears and the needles climb
I stole F-16, went till 20, it will take this time, I stole F-16
When you took your hand, it was already right around the corner, and then you came in
Since you took your hand, it became pristine
Once you turned it out, you were probably wrong to use video, but your hand didn't became
Once you turned it out, it was already right around the corner, and then you came in
What's going on, everybody?
I hope everyone's having a fantastic evening, afternoon, afternoon, no matter where you are
in the world.
I'm a son piker and this awesome broadcast comes to live from sunny California.
Lots of folks were live and alive.
I hope all the boys, girls and MBS are having a fantastic one because today's a beautiful
day.
today is a very special day. Do I look cozy? Yeah, it's because I'm tired. I just, I passed out,
I got back home and I passed out immediately and then I just woke up and I did a business meeting,
a team meeting. So, the vibes will be immaculate for the day, hopefully. But,
But, you know, I'm a bit tired.
I'm gonna go through the phases and wake up,
but I was awake at like, you know, 5 a.m.,
so I could fly here.
Anyway, ladies and gentlemen,
it's a special day, though,
and it's because, you know,
not because I went to the peptide rave party last night,
I didn't do that.
I actually hung out with Shri Ka Chakrabarti.
I'm gonna be talking about that.
Is this a personal news time in a second?
But before I get to that,
Why is it a special day, you might be asking?
And that's because I'm back on my soundboard.
Is that why?
Is it because it's Easter?
Is that the reason why it's a special day?
Is it because of Easter?
No, it's not.
It's not.
Even though that is one of the reasons,
but I think we all know what the main reason is
for why this is a special day.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I think we all know what I'm about to say.
It's a special day because it's always
a special day this day of the week.
That's right.
It's freaking Friday.
Found it here, right?
What are we?
It's Friday.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Boys, Grill, and NBs, it's freaking Friday.
It's Friday, baby!
You already know what's up.
It's been a false of Friday.
You know what's going on.
It's Friday, baby!
It's Friday, baby!
It's Friday, baby!
It's Friday, baby!
It's Friday, baby!
It's Friday, baby!
Yeah, it's Friday. It's Freaky-ass Friday. You already know. Your parents, your fathers,
your forefathers, your grandfathers, they fought long and hard for the labor movement
so they could use so that your ungrateful ass can have a weekend. So it's good Friday
And it's the gooddest of Fridays.
So we're going to be celebrating that as we do every single Friday.
You already know what's up.
Okay, so.
The medical and psychological effects of Mopasa Friday have to be studied.
How does he lift their muscle effectively?
It's because it's a recognition of.
Fighter jet down Friday.
was your team meeting this morning by chance and interview for FBI Director? Yes, I am the new
director of the FBI. I'm going to be the new director of the FBI. It's true. It's going to happen.
But yeah, fighter jet, fighter jet Friday, you already know what's up. You already know what it
is decoy thank you for the five gifted um but uh i'm live i'm alive um there's a lot to talk about
but before i do that you know 71 degrees and sunny here on stolen tonga land which is where i'm
tuning to you live from okay and yeah there's so much to talk about but as far as personal news
goes my chud ass loser life, my big chungus life. You already know I didn't do nothing
except I ended the broadcast yesterday after the University of San Francisco Law School
talks that I gave. And then after that I hung out with Shaiqat, Shaiqat Chakra Bharti. And
we went to a couple different spots, you know, local places that he wanted to film at. And
We hung out and he wind and dined me. Okay, I'll tell you what he wind and dined my ass and
It was
Incredible we went to a Palestinian
Restaurant called bait Rima and oh my frickin lord dude bait Rima
Oof
Oh if y'all have not been oh my god, bro. Oh my god, brother. It is so good
They remember it was so freaking good. I had I had everything bro. I had everything
It was it was spectacular
Spectacular can't fucking recommend it enough. Okay, can't recommend it enough
enough. We hung out and filmed some stuff. Uh, the owners are, um, the owners are fans,
apparently of both myself and also shoycott as well. And, um, yeah, I had the chicken
she's to walk, which was great. And I had the gauzin braised the lamb shank, which with
couscous as well. I'm still thinking about it, dude. I'm still thinking about it. It was
so good. Hasan compromised by the shoycott lobby. Yeah, bro, he fucking did it. He did that thing.
But I've always, I've been a fan as I, as you guys know, I've been a fan of shoycott. I've been,
you know, promoting him pretty heavily in spite of the fact that there's a lot of people on San
Francisco left that are understandably a little bit worried about him. And the only reason why I
say understandably worried about him is because I had the same concerns when I first thought,
when I first heard that he was running. I knew of him. I knew of what he had done in the past, but I was still a little bit, you know, I was still a little bit worried, given that he's, you know,
Centimillionaire tech guy. What's this about right?
Also, I'll be the Ovan law. What is this?
Yeah
In any case TPR 91 she's to look lobby captured with the fuck. Yeah, we also went to
I'm at major in Gaza. This is a very important
and corner store key food market.
It's a very important cultural landmark
from what I understand in San Francisco.
And yeah, now that was great as well.
What is this?
Can you speak on your thoughts about the student question
about the October 7th rapes?
Can you elaborate on how that person was coming off?
No, it's classic.
There's always one.
There's always one.
Yeah, I mean, it didn't, it didn't, it didn't actually work, did it? I mean, it was quite
embarrassing for the student. So, and he kind of understood that it was embarrassing. He
got like super red. And it was, uh, it's one of those things where like in your
head, I think in your head and on the internet, you, you have an idea of like
how things are going to go. But then in person, it doesn't go that way. Like it's
just, it doesn't work that way. This is, this has happened already. This has already happened.
This happened at Cambridge too. I don't mind it. Right? Because I think people, I think
people personally have this notion that like a real world interaction, a real world interaction
is going to take place in the same way that you envisioned it in your mind or the same
way that you assumed it would happen on the internet because you can't strip a conversation
of his nuance on the person that can actively respond?
Yeah.
But yeah, there was some in their voice trauma anger, they
were 100% caught reframing the argument.
Yeah, it's it's it is what it is, you know, I don't, it wasn't
like a, I don't think it was a memorable moment at all. What
happened? Oh, I, when I was speaking at the University of
San Francisco law school, someone wanted to debate Lord me on on one of the classic clips
out of context, the, the, you know, rapes, October seven rapes happening, don't change
dynamic for me whatsoever on on genocide and apartheid.
Cagsbeth has declared the rights as well as a national security threat to you as oil needs only 50 or left on our planet and they live in the Gulf of Mexico.
Sorry for caps. The news just broke. I have no idea what you're talking about.
But yeah, it was great. It was great overall. I had a great time.
I don't I don't personally appreciate how much I feel like schools are are being
are being annoying with their restrictions.
Like Stanford, in my opinion, Stanford absolutely was trying to make sure that I just didn't do it, right?
They didn't know how fucking hardheaded and stubborn I am. So they thought, oh, if we just like,
take away the mess hall, like take away the amphitheater or whatever, like the big area
that he was going to do his speech at, like maybe he'll just not show up. And I was like,
fuck that. I'm still showing up, you know. So Tim Miller being hot and defending you
with a fun time. Yeah, I saw. I saw it's very funny that Tim Miller has a much better understanding
of like exactly the dynamic that's shaping in the broader electorate and had to be like,
I'm putting my fucking foot down, I'm putting my foot down. I'm a, you know, I'm a, I'm
a former Republican now Democrat. Like I want to defeat the Republicans. You guys are being
fucking insane. And, and it is, it is very funny that, you know, there's, there's this
contingency of, of like rabid psychopaths who I, I don't think care about the party
Earth's future at all. I think they just genuinely fucking hate me. And, and they're just, I don't know.
It kind of feels like they're mad that they don't have any relevance in the party at all. And
they get mad that I am or something. I don't know. Yeah, this is Tim Miller. He's the one who cooked
Zoran with a globalized intifada question, right? Like,
But yeah, in any case, here, we'll, I mean, there's a lot to talk about today. We got the F-15
that fell, obviously. Okay. We'll be talking about all of that and more. Personal news wise,
This is pretty much it. I got nothing else going on in my chud ass life. I got on a plane, flew back home, woke up at like 4.30 and, yeah, Hassan Shoikot campaign videos coming. Yes, there are.
Um
He still says I'm fucked pro is real shit amongst that so you did he I didn't I
Didn't see that third. We're trying to get people to hate you in a backfark as everyone hates third way
Yeah, they just don't have any motion and not only do they not have any motion
But they're also trying to hit this on the issue that is like the most unpopular issue
It's it's yet another instance where you know
They're so they're so echo chambered because they only talk to other fucking lobbyists and rich people
right and
And that's what it is. That's that's all this is
You can only arrive at this conclusion that that your line of attack on Israel against like one of the most prominent critics of Israel is
Is is going to be a successful way
to to identify and and you know cut out a threat if you have never met a real
human if you've never met like if you've never met a normal human in your
life in the last three years you haven't been outside and you haven't actually
like considered you know what things look like in the real world so that's
That's what it is. All right. Anyway, at 15 down rescue mission, Iran, Epstein fury, day 34, Trump was $1.5 trillion war budget. Are we invading freaky Friday? Get in now.
Right. Okay.
Okay.
Zitao released the 28 minute proof, Jong. Oh, not my Jong. Not my Professor Jong.
He, they released it. Nice. Uh, we can now finally watch it.
It's no longer paywall. I'm very excited about that army chief fired as well.
Yeah.
All right, let's do it. Let's blast off. Let's get it twisted. Let's keep it going.
By the way, don't worry, you didn't come up a Passover Seder last night. I didn't have
to defend you. I guess you just don't have motion like that. That's crazy. You should
have brought me up.
Megaphonics, you are a coward. Okay. I'm going to say it. The fall off of Megaphonics has
to be studied. Okay. This man went from, uh, this man went from wife guy to top chatter
of the past year. Okay. On a fan voted contest. He was known as Mr. Elon Musk. Then he became
known as magophonics, wife of phonics. Then he became the top chatter. And now his fall
from grace is here, you know, you live long enough, you live long enough and all of a sudden
you find yourself on the other side of that equation. Okay, you go from top chatter to
bottom chatter. Went from lipophonics, magophonics to now, I don't even know what he would be.
Anyway, I'll put me up all primary megafaunics. I'll talk about you at all the dinners and
at some lunches. Okay, good. See, this is exactly the kind of energy that I want. I want this
kind of energy from you. Okay, I want the kind of energy where you broach the subject
at all the satyrs, maybe when you go religious gatherings, family gatherings in general, you're
just like, hey guys, we got to talk about this, okay? We got to talk about this, we got to talk
about this Hasi situation, okay? A lot of you guys are freaking out for no reason, okay? I don't like
it. I don't like what you're saying. You know, defend me. Defend me, my Fedein. I'm
gonna bring you up a church when Jesus comes back on Sunday. Okay. The room for Israel
supporters that will somehow make me the least normal person in the room. Yeah. All right.
So yeah, this is what I did yesterday, I blasted off already, you know, let the people know,
obviously we're live, we're live, I'm back in the, I'm back in the station, the command
station, Cuba vid's gonna come out soon, it's actually, it's actually almost completely
wrapped at this point.
I just like wanted to do some additional tweaks to it, to shorten the length of it, because
I feel like there's like long and convoluted pieces in it and we made it very dynamic.
We made it very fast and we made it very interesting.
And I don't think it like narratively plays very well when I have these like long and
extended interview pieces in between with all of the other fast paced cuts.
So it was originally 36 minutes, it went up to 39 minutes, so now I'm trying to get it
cut down to make it more zoomer friendly and make it like, yeah, we'll see.
A little bit of casualty cover ups, oh yeah.
Something that I find really funny, thankfully I didn't need to worry about you being mentioned
at my Seder since my family thinks the New York Times is anti-semitical amount, that's
crazy.
But the actual interviews, the actual OG interviews will also be released.
So the Iran talks have reached a dead end, obviously we'll talk about that as well.
Iran literally said no talks in Islamabad, Islamabad is not at the table.
That's right.
In my mind, in my headcanon, I think they're just saying like, you know, we need Turkey
to be at the table.
Sorry.
Sorry, Pakistan.
out. You ain't turkey little bro. Okay. Oh, look at us. We're Pakistan. We have nukes,
best air force in the world. You know, we got the latest Chinese tag riding high, thinking
you can be the new table. Okay. You are not the table, Pakistan. You are not the table.
We are the table. Turkey's at the table and Turkey is the table. But of course today and
forever. Pakistan's in the bot. All right. Trump contradicts his speech from two days
ago again. Yeah, that's not surprising. All right. IRGC to Trump will will be covering
all of this will be covering all this. Okay. Yeah, classic, classic, classic stuff. They
threw Pam Bondi's portrait of the tragedy. I saw this such a funny fucking, it's such
a funny image. All right. In any case, folks, yeah, where was I going to begin? Oh, so yeah.
So yesterday, yesterday, I did USF law the day prior. I did Stanford, Stanford University.
It was great. Both were great. One was a full blown speech. The other one was like a moderated
Q&A and then like an unmoderated portion of the Q&A. And the unmoderated portion of the
Q&A, there was a moment where like someone was like, I'm going to get them.
stream of yours where you were discussing October 7th,
and the topic of the UN's report of sexual violence
committed by Hamas came in, and I think your exact words were,
I don't fucking care about the rapes.
Would you mind explaining why you said that?
Yeah.
I said, it doesn't matter whether sexual violence took
place on October 7 or not, that doesn't
change the dynamic for me around genocide.
And that's still something that I stand by.
That's a quote that people try to weaponize against me
with regular frequency.
But I don't think you would disagree with that sentiment,
right?
Do you feel like sexual violence happening?
Is there justification for genocide?
No, I don't.
But I also think, like, in a room where there's future
prosecutors and public defenders that
are going to go into victims' advocacy,
purporting that it's that you don't care about sexual violence happening is
very dangerous
okay but you and but now you understand the context of it you you understand
what i was saying right because there is a person who's actually
claiming
that uh...
that there is no evidence for sexual violence taking place at all
in the argument in the much broader context is missing
whether or not sexual violence is taking place
does not change the dynamic
of or does not justify genocide taking place.
I think that's a fairly reasonable critique, right?
How do you dismiss accounts of kerosene and,
all right, and then the rest of it is just like
the full context of it.
I guess they put the full context of it in this video,
but let me see what the, what else?
Part of this problem that many people
that can't contend with like,
or I don't know, do you think is real committed to genocide?
Maybe you have an issue with that as well.
So victims are collateral damage in pursuit of the greater
good.
Do you think Israel committed a genocide?
If you don't mind me asking.
Well, why aren't you staying on topic, on the question that I
must do?
This is the topic.
You asked me a question.
I'm asking you so we can have a normal conversation.
Do you think Israel committed a genocide?
I do.
And I also think that minimizing rape is wrong.
Do you think that the sexual violence taking place on October
7 would justify Israel's genocide,
or do you think genocide is unjustifiable?
I think it's not a dichotomy.
Okay.
So where do we go from here?
So we're in agreement.
I thank you for your explanation.
I just wanted to know why you said that.
Now it's such a bad faith argument from this person.
They didn't even see the one
that established was a dichotomy was in this case.
You are also aren't minimizing rape.
Yeah, exactly.
But it doesn't matter.
Cause it's just, I mean, this is the next generation
of lawyers coming from US of law.
I don't know.
I think you should start bringing up the pro rape rights
after you cleared the argument.
I wasn't invested in destroying this person, okay?
That's not how I operate.
I was just invested in neutralizing the argument
by just saying what the truth is and then moving on.
you know, which again, every single time this kind of thing has happened, the person that
the person that always brings stuff like this up, I think in their minds, they get going
to like work out very differently. You know, they think like, oh, he's going to get like,
he's going to be humiliated, he's going to be epically owned, right? And it just never
works that way. It never works that way at all. And I don't know why people still try
to do that shit. It's just to be fair, I think you should explain more why you weren't saying
what you said, which is why you were responding to genocide denies critiques of you, even
though they weren't specifically president in that exact clip. You were on shadow boxing
defense month at that moment, but they don't realize that.
You did not care about right? Do you feel like I explained it there early?
Yeah, thank you.
OK, no problem.
What a beautiful witness.
I mean, they agreed with me at the end of it, you know?
Yeah, no, the lawyers were also very woke.
I mean, that was all.
It was mostly fans in the room.
It was great.
Yeah, he turned red by the end of it.
I completely disagree with that take. This is the best response I've had this argument thus far.
I mean, I think it's fine, you know.
To some degree, you push other people away from your movement when you choose to be cruel beyond just making your point.
Yeah, I, I, um, yeah, I, I, I do what I do regardless. It's just how I am. You know what I mean?
It's just who I am. It's how I am. I'm a vulgar person, right? I pop off sometimes. I'm talking for 10 hours.
It's not a guarantee that like every moment of those 10 hours are going to be squeaky clean, right?
People can try to weaponize that stuff all day every day, but ultimately I try to lead by empathy.
And I try to channel that in every conversation that I have.
And a lot of people will try to engage in these sorts of bad faith critiques, but ultimately,
you know, I am who I am, right? And I think people will either recognize what I'm trying
to do and appreciate and understand and can come to the table charitably. Did the person
to grab the group photo? No, they did not.
I just don't understand how someone, it's an insane argument because Daniel is essentially saying the rapes perpetrated on
Israel is on par with the worst and the genocide of Palestinians, which is an untenable position. Exactly.
Like, no one who legitimately believes Israel is committing a genocide can make that argument.
No one.
Okay?
Because it's a patently ridiculous argument, which is why I asked the question, do you
believe Israel committed a genocide?
And he didn't want to answer it first.
And that's when I was like, oh.
And then he realized I'm going to lose the entire room if I just get into a debate about
whether Israel committed a genocide or not. So he thought he could just like say,
yes, Israel did commit a genocide. Then I was like, okay, then you understand my point.
You agree with my point.
Yeah, there's a New Republic article that came out a day ago.
Sompiker has a few choice words for his bad faith criticism.
There's also another article from Daniel.
There's a nation article that came out as well.
And that's from Daniel Denver.
Wait, what a second Air Force combat plane crashed in the Persian Gulf region on Friday
the lone the lone pilot was rescued wait what the hell wait this is another wait what
No, this has got to be like the one that we know from the one that we saw earlier, right like
That's crazy. If they're just dropping like flies. That's
What a second US combat aircraft and a 10 war talk crashed
Near the stride of hormones the pile safely rescued at the roughly the same time and F50
What the fuck
Hey, yo
Brother what what the fuck is going on man John McCain is spinning like a top in his grave thinking about all the fucking fighters
just that are falling holy molly and the blackhawk was struck to oh my lord oh my lordy I didn't
know the 810 went down to what the hell yante oh oh Jesus Christ oh my lord does bad that's
Unbelievable, dude on the frickin
Unbelievable and Iranian capture of US pilots could be a turning point in the war with Iran
God damn, dude, it is what a day
What a time to be fucking alive dude, holy shit, sorry for the off-topicness, but I've been thinking about China
I'm wondering why you think a channel at world order will be good
Or would it just be better than what it is now
now, which would be very likely to be true to be honest. I can see the argument. Okay,
man. I just look, look, look, Western domination around the globe has been very beneficial
in comparison to the rest of the world for people living in the imperial court. That
much is true. Okay. Yes. But it's been disastrous for everyone else living in the periphery
that has to basically sit around and operate like wage slaves for American Empire, for
Western Empire, and have all their natural resources be extracted, and have foreign capital
refused to actually evenly develop these countries.
It's been horrible.
I mean, look at what we're doing to Iran right now, okay?
So yeah, I am a fan of a different method, multi-polarity, I think that would be good.
It would be good for all these other countries, give them room to breathe, allow them to develop
evenly, unlock some potential that exists in these places, right?
I just got back from Cuba, it's a great example of what we have done to another country, the
unnecessary cruelty that we subject people to, simply to make an argument, right?
We're punishing an island of 11 million people that are just trying to survive because, uh,
you know, communism bad.
It's unbelievable.
Our cruelty is pretty much on autopilot.
People don't even understand it, right?
People don't even realize what we're doing.
It's, it's totally ridiculous.
It's got to change.
And now, we are in many respects a victim of our own success.
We defeated the Soviets, the Cold War ended.
Capitalism won.
Western superiority was established all around the world, right?
And ever since the 90s, we have supercharged capitalism and in many respects that ruined
domestic politics in the Western world, in the Imperial Corps, the heavy financialization
of the global economy, where the Western world no longer has any sort of like robust industrial
base, especially not in the United States of America. And obviously the consequences
for the American economy are very obvious. And now you got a bunch of, you got handful
of oligarchs picking apart the corpse of American empire for scraps. So it's not good
for the people that were dominating and were murdering is certainly not good for the people
who are doing the murdering either and it's not even good for the people who are sitting
around in the imperial courts. Good in comparison. We have it much better than they do, right?
By virtue of not being under the boot. But even then, something's got to change. Something's
got to change. We're terrorizing the world and we're terrorizing ourselves and we
got to fix it. So that's my attitude on multi-polarity. That's my attitude on
America receiving a little bit of a bloody nose here, maybe a black eye here
from Iran or from any of these forces really so that we can, we're forced to
retreat, we're forced to recalculate exactly how far we can expand empire and
and maybe, hopefully, change some things at the domestic home front, change some things
for the better, you know?
And let me tell you, our nose has been thoroughly bloodied, especially in the past, especially
in the past couple of weeks, right?
i think you're gravely underestimating
erin's ability to demoralize the united states
is that iran
calling iran erin is pretty funny
that's i i don't even know if you were trying to do that is a bit but i like it
yeah my boy erin he's uh... he's a real fighter did
a two-seater fighter jet and f-fifteen the pilot would be in the front
the weapons systems officer would be in the back and this would be a very dramatic and
very dangerous rescue iran's revolutionary guard saying that iranian forces had shot
down the u.s fighter jet overnight with iranian state media releasing images of the wreckage
of that jet and bro this was so funny like the way that the the american media was covering
this issue was, I'm sorry, kind of funny. Okay. It's, it's devastating for the pilots,
but also it's going to be quite difficult for me to feel a sense of sympathy for American
Air Force pilots when I know what they're doing, right? Like I've seen what they're
doing. It's disastrous. They're, they're responsible for a litany of war crimes. Like here's an
alternative. Don't do that, right? Um, quit. Better to be in prison. Better to be thrown
on the brig, then to go and blow up a school, right? Like you have to make that moral calculation
at some point. You have to, you have to apply for conscientious objector status. You don't
do that. And you're flying over Iranian airspace with your F 15 on your way to fucking blow
up a school or another like medical facility. And boom, you get your shit clocked in between
then, you know, fair is fair, right? It's the same principle I have for spies, right?
Chinese and you're a Chinese spy and you're spying on American, you get caught, fair is fair,
you got got. Same with American spies, same with Russian spies, right? If you're Russian,
you're spying on Americans, you get caught, fair is fair. If you're an American, you're spying on
Russians, you get caught, fair is fair. This is, this is the rules of warfare, right? And the same
goes for this. Now, having said that, having said that, what I consider to be at least like
like quite illustrative of the way that the media is trying to massage the war efforts
is the fact that CNN International PR did this piece right after they found the wreckage
a couple hours ago, right?
Like, this was originally aired, I think, like six, maybe seven hours ago.
But CNN International PR, CNN International PR posted it four hours ago.
Why is it funny?
Because by that point, there was a search and rescue operation that was being conducted
at that point for like four hours.
Okay?
So, the fact that they were still like, well, SETCOM told us it's not real.
They have all of their, you know, all of their fleet is accounted for.
It was just like, buddy, I don't know if you're seeing this, but the tail is in front of you.
Okay, that's that's yours. That's our thing. That's our fucking fighter jet
You're looking at pieces of it
It's totally ridiculous to be like well
We know at the moment is that America's essential command have said so far that all their planes are accounted for I mean
I guess the plan is technically accounted for it's not a lie
It's just it's accounted for in Iran, right?
This is Europe on it lip-dark. Yeah, exactly
Yeah, I wonder what the rest of the word is, because it doesn't just say Europe.
If anything, them saying that only makes them more incompetent, it's just so
transparent that they're lying. I think, I will say this, I don't think this generation fully
He comprehends how information propaganda and, you know, information warfare is conducted
during wartime, because there's obviously the fog of war.
But outside of that, like, we now live in an environment where, you know, if any kind
of Iranian anti-air defenses take out an F-15, you're going to know about it, because there's
gonna be numerous angles that people have filmed, right? And if the Iranian government
allows it, which clearly they did in this circumstance, that information will be distributed
to the Western audiences by way of Western social media. And they'll probably even make
a Lego AI video about it, you know, in a couple of days. So that's just how this stuff is
conducted. So you can't really lie about it, right? You can't just be like, oh, that's
not true. It didn't happen, dude. Don't believe your lying eyes. It just doesn't work that
right? You don't have the level of control that you might have had when there was like
four fucking TV channels, right? Like when it was four TV channels, you can say whatever
you wanted. There was no internet. There was no access to the Iranian side unless you had
a reporter who would go out and ask the Iranian side, right? Like back then it was a lot easier
to control the flows of information. Nowadays it's just online immediately, okay?
Okay, catch up old man Lego vid out. It's out already. That's crazy in time. Iranian media
has released images that appear to show debris of a downed US fighter jet saying the fake
the pilot is unknown. Well, Matthew chance is in Doha and covering off some of this latest
Matthew, let's start with what we know about this downed jet in Iran and state media certainly
saying it's a US F-35. We've seen the images that they posted. Yeah, it's not a F-35. It was a F-15,
right? Which again, I thought they were using the F-35s. Why are they not using the F-35s? I
wonder because that's another question
Right. We have a whole fleet of F 35s that we paid two trillion dollars for the R&D on
Why are we using them? What the fuck?
You know two trillion dollars what happened
What happened why are we why are we still on that at 15 what the fuck?
Also, another question I have personally, because I love my president.
I love my president, I love America, and I believe my president, my big, beautiful, bold,
brave president.
And he keeps telling me we've achieved total victory over Iran.
Like air superiority has been established, we're blowing up all the schools for fun now.
You know what I mean?
We're blowing up bridges and the electrical grid is being threatened.
know, we're, we're, we're now doing flex mode shit, right? Cause we established air superiority.
So, so from my perspective, it's just like kind of shocking when I hear stuff like this,
because this is not what happens when you have established air superiority. And it's
rather strange. I, I almost feel like my president is fucking lying to me. And if that was the
case, everything that I know about the world would be wrong. And I don't know what I would
do with myself because I love my president. I love Donald Trump. I love Maga, right? And
I believe everything he says. And these past 34 days have been rather confusing because
on the one hand I'm like, yeah, we won. Every time he says we won, I go, yeah, we won. And
then he turns around and says, we actually didn't win. Like we're, we still have a lot
to do. And I'm like, oh, I guess we didn't win. And then he says, no, but we won anyway.
And I guess I celebrate again. And also now gas is $11 a gallon. I don't know what we're
fucking winning I want to feel like we're winning Mr. President I want to
feel like we're winning it doesn't feel like we're winning right now what the
fuck it and what do we make of those
well that I mean look it's good a confused picture at the moment I mean
yes you're right state media is is touting this idea they've shot down a
a very advanced US fighter jet in F 35. But what a lot of the military experts are talking
about right now is that the parts of the wreckage of the plane that have been shown
look more like an F 15 still in the American plane that the face of the pilot not clear.
What we do know at the moment is that the Americans and sent pilots, what happened? I
I thought these, okay, look, I'm not a misal artist. I'm not a plain artist. I know many
of you are in this chat right now because you love situation monitoring. Okay. So maybe
you can explain something to me. I thought these, these things came with what is known
as a standoff munitions, right? Like I thought, I thought that they had like plenty of those
Because I've always been a committed believer that the United States offensive capabilities
are virtually infinite as opposed to our defensive capabilities, which are obviously finite.
Defense is a lot more difficult than offense.
It's much easier once you establish your superiority to just like blow shit up, right?
What's going on? Right? Like what's happening? I thought we had the capabilities just lobbing
Tomahawks from a very long distance or even from airplanes, right? Like I just, I don't
get it. Like why are you in the range of anti-air defense systems if you already have that?
Bro, you make no sense. You act like we have never had jets shot down before. Oh my goat
is back. You know, gangies back, gangies back, Mr contingencies back on the day where there
are not one, not two, perhaps four different assets that have been either dinged or destroyed.
This guy's back to be like, dude, what do you mean? America's gotten a shit pushed in
with a regular frequency. No, as a matter of fact, you're wrong. Okay. This does not happen,
at least in, in like modern American combat. I would go so far, say like, I can remember,
obviously like, you know, Yugoslavia, that was a big deal, right? And then, and then the, the,
you know, since Vietnam, this hasn't been like a super common incident, right? Cause we choose
our enemies wisely. We choose our enemies that don't have these sorts of capabilities, right?
Not that as I knew you was about to start this bullshit again. Brother, I don't even know how.
I don't even, Black Hawk, that was a full-ass film, guys.
Black Hawks always do that. They do that for fun, okay? Ospreys and Black Hawks drop like
fucking flies. I'm not talking about that. We're talking about something entirely different. We're
talking about an F 15, you know, that's, that's just a part of how black Hawks operate. Okay.
I mean, literally they fall all the time. They, they, they drop like flies during training.
They, there was a black Hawk that crashed in the Osama bin Laden raid. Okay. That's just
some that they do. That's totally separate. We're not talking about that.
But Russia loses a lot of jets, but you say Russia is winning law buddy
What land have we been able to successfully occupy in Iran we're losing because we have not accomplished our strategic military
objectives blowing up schools and blowing up
Like medical facilities is not exactly winning anything. Okay, maybe you're winning biggest asshole award, okay
But you're not fucking winning any strategic military objectives at least the reason why I say Russia is winning is not because of like the morality of the situation
Obviously, it's immoral that Russia is engaging in this irredent this action
The reason why I say Russia is winning is because they've hardened their positions on Eastern Ukraine. That's it like they've literally
Territorily occupied Ukraine Eastern Ukraine. Okay
That's it. That's the difference
Their goal was to occupy the entirety of Ukraine. They didn't achieve that goal
They didn't achieve their maximalist goals, but they retreated back to Eastern Ukraine.
And now they occupy Eastern Ukraine militarily.
That's, you know, whether you want to admit it or not, that's a victory for Russia, right?
The difference, however, on the other hand is for America.
America's military goals here are to, I guess, like deteriorate Iran's munitions, deteriorate
their striking capabilities, which they haven't been able to achieve.
Obviously, fucking Israel's still getting bombed.
We don't even know, like that's the other side of the story.
I don't even, we have no idea how many Israeli air force assets, Iran has actually been able
to successfully destroy it because you can't get any information out of the negative desert
in the same way that you can see the American munitions or the American fighter jets and
you know, shadow tankers that get blown up on, on the Saudi air force, the Saudi air
bases.
Right?
even know if they've been able to successfully destroy Israeli Air Force jets as well. They're
not flying because they have achieved a lot of success in destroying planes on the runway
that are just like kind of sitting and waiting to go out to battle.
But in any case, it's worth noting that Russia is currently not winning. They're currently
bleeding more troops than they were, than they are replenishing and having a large
portion of their oil production disabled by Ukrainian drones is on. Yeah, look, this
is precisely the reason why I said from the start that this would be a spectacular club
for Russia if they were to be stupid enough to invade Ukraine. It's not going to be, it's
not going to be a fun ride for them at all. And it certainly hasn't been, but ultimately
they're still the battle lines are still the battle lines, right? Is Ukraine winning
by this logic? Anyway, let's get back to America.
I think I've been speaking about this central command. They've said so far that all of their
planes are accounted for and that the Iranian military authorities often make claims like
this. And so details are, say, very sketchy at the moment, but those images are very
compelling and we're hopefully going to get a bit more light shit on this in the hours
perhaps even in the minutes ahead.
I will say one of the most shocking aspects of this though, because I was monitoring the
situation quite a bit, one of the most shocking aspects of this was the fact that they were
able to do a search and rescue, search and recovery, search and rescue mission, right?
And it was a, it was a crazy one. It was, you know, flying super low. You have,
you have aerial refueler flying super low alongside two helicopters. There's images of that all over
Iranian social media. They were like posting it because it was close enough that they could see it,
right? And this is before we get to the A-10, right? The reason why I'm bringing this up is
because obviously they were flying so low. It's a very dangerous mission, right? If you watch Top Gun,
you know, if you fly that low, you're avoiding the radar, you're avoiding some of the anti-air
defense systems. But obviously there's a litany of other dangers that come along with a search and
recovery, search and rescue missions such as that. But here it is. There's some videos of it. I want
to show it to you. But what was shocking to me at the very least was that they just don't have
enough man pads, I guess. Because like, how do you not mobilize? Iran is massive. Iran's a massive
country. But like, how do you not mobilize in specific quadrants, just like, you know,
mobile units with man pads immediately to the area, especially as you're in the process of like
conducting your own search mission to figure out where these incredibly high profile prisoners
of war will be, right? But yeah, it's unbelievable. Flying low and slow, very dangerous. Yeah. Now,
this is obviously very dangerous for, for, I mean, this is dangerous because you can be
targeted with like conventional weapons at that point, right? Like small arms and shit,
especially depending on how close you get to the ground. But then, I mean, this is at that point,
at this point flying like this I feel like it's just it all tastes like one
man-pad right like well this shit that's a tight formation and they're
refueling chatter, of course, is a tight formation.
You see, from what I understand, some MAMPADs were used to limited success, but
But will, will, you're right, that kind of flying is positively suicidal.
Well, it's just the type of flying that you do when you have no other options where you
have to literally engage in the search and rescue mission and you, it's, there's no other
way to do it.
So I think another top gun movie could unironically single handedly restore a lot of Americans
fence that has faiths in America's force projection capabilities. Yeah, but what the, what I didn't
understand is why the pilots didn't, uh, as soon as they ejected from the F 15, why didn't
they go to the nearest Iranian air base and, and, um, take over an F 14 and then fly out
with it. Cause like that's what you're supposed to do in that situation, right? Like that's
what I've learned. You're supposed to do. That's the, I thought that was like standard
operating protocol. You eject, you get shot out of the air, you eject, you go to the nearest
Iranian air base and you take over an F-14 fighter jet and you fly out with the F-14
fighter jet, right? Because they have the F-14s that Iranians do, so you steal that and then
you fly out. That's like, that's what you're supposed to do. At least that's what, you know,
Tom Cruise taught me is what you're supposed to do. But I guess Israel destroyed all their
F-14 so they can't really do that anymore. Yeah, you pull an F-35 out of inventory. Yeah,
changing to an F-14 is faster than reloading. Yeah, all Jets accounted for as they replaced
the F-15 with an F-14. Yeah, it's just one step below, right?
But yeah, it's been interesting watching this stuff unfold in the way that Western media
is covering it.
Of an intact ejection seat, we do not have those images verified, but they do appear
to be credible.
The IRGC said it was an F-35, but it was clear that it appeared to be an Air Force F-15.
In fact, Iran put out a message to shoot the pilots if they were found, and a reward was
being offered later.
They said if they are found alive.
This comes after President Trump claimed in his speech on Wednesday that the Iranians
have no anti-aircraft guns.
The Iranians have no anti-aircraft guns.
The Iranians have no anti-aircraft guns.
The Iranians have no anti-aircraft guns.
in his speech on Wednesday that the Iranians have no anti-aircraft equipment. The radar,
he said, is 100% annihilated. The Iranian state needs... This isn't Star Wars. You can't just
deal an imperial shuttle after your ship crashes. Chatter, that's the joke. That's the joke is that
that's what they did in Top Gun. I was joking. Yes, of course you can't do that. So what's
interesting about this situation, of course, is that it kind of disparaged a lot of the original
propaganda, the initial propaganda that like, you know, all Iranians are actually welcoming us as
liberators. Turns out that wasn't the case. I've seen hundreds of videos of like Iranian farmers
like dusting off their bolt action rifles to take potshots at like these Blackhawk helicopters
that were engaging in the search and rescue mission. A lot of people, it didn't seem like
these people were actually welcoming them as liberators, unless you can make the argument.
And you could convince me on this, because like I said, I love Donald Trump. I'm stupid. I'm the
stupidest American. I'm MAGA. I'm in a cult. And I believe everything that Donald Trump tells me.
And therefore, you could potentially maybe convince me that the farmers were trying to shoot
at the Black Hawk helicopters to be like, come down here. We want to give you Guby Day.
Like, maybe that was the reason why they were doing that, right? You guys think that's the reason?
Maybe, maybe they were like, come down, come down, like come, come enjoy our Kube Day. Maybe
that's what they were doing when they were shooting at the helicopters, engaging in a search and
rescue operation. Like, they just had no other way to communicate, so they were just shooting at it,
right? They were welcoming bullets. Uh, welcoming the, the Americans as liberators, right? You're
telling me the Iranian people did inside with the U S I've, they killed 160 little schoolgirls
who would have thought. Yeah. Yeah. Very odd. I just, you know, yeah. Maybe the Iranians have
watched a lot of American cowboy television and they think this is, this is what Americans,
uh, this is how Americans talk to one another by shooting at each other. So that's why they were,
they were welcoming they were signaling that they were you know greeting people like this is
this is how america america this is how they say merhaba in america like maybe that was what
was going on you think i don't know yes a u.s fighter jet has been shot down over iran's airspace
u.s media reporting this hour that one crew member has been rescued tyrant says the u.s military
has been conducting a search and rescue operation. Iranian media say a helicopter which was part
of the effort has also been hit by a projectile. Say TV has aired footage of-
My beautiful 29 year old baby was just kidnapped from his F-15E strike eagle for you guessed
it, being white. Yeah, Iranians are searching for your baby. No, but you see these guys
are actually there to to make sure that the American fighter pilot gets a warm welcome
as in like if he lands on Iranian soil and no one has guns Americans panic because they're
like where am I this must be this must be a communist country or something no one has
guns so the reason why these guys have guns is to be like hey we're just like you American
We have guns as well.
Yeah, they have the flags as well to be like see uh, this is iran very similar to america. We also have
Yeah, they're giving they're actually bringing comfort guns for the pilot
I figured it out. I'm still working on it. I'm still workshopping exactly how this fits into the,
they're welcoming us as liberators mentality that I've been hearing quite a bit from, you know,
every Israeli mouthpiece and every American mouthpiece as well, including my favorite president
of all time, Donald Trump. And I guess they're bringing emotional support guns because they're
like, Oh, you just lost your, you just lost your fighter jet. And you probably feel a little scared
right now, we wanted to give you this gun as emotional support, because this is how Americans
operate.
And shot.
And shot.
Yeah, they know Americans love guns, they're bringing gifts.
So yeah, so the Iranians started their own search and rescue operations as well.
And in the process of their own search and rescue operations, the Iranian government
came out and said, we'll give a big bounty to anyone who finds the finds and captures
the pilot alive. There's two of them, right? There's, or there's supposed to be two of
them. There's the, you know, the weapons officer. And then there's also the pilot, the navigator.
And as far as we understand, one of them, according to Israeli news, at least, one of
them has been rescued successfully. The other, we don't know where he is. And this is before
Before we get to, this is of course before we get to the other story, there's a second
plane that was downed via the New York Times as well.
So there's that too.
Big ass news, how dare you, I'll tell you the pilot did make it to the Iranian airfield,
but the F-14 was inflatable, tell the real story.
Yeah, yeah.
So, oh, the pilot got rescued, the weapons officers, MIA, okay.
Um, so it hasn't really been a really good day for the war effort. I will say, um, hasn't been a really good day. There hasn't really been any good days, honestly. And that's probably the reason why we just keep doing terrorism.
You know, the worst things get the more we like blow up, uh, you know, medical facilities, schools, children's hospitals, things like that. You know, it's just, uh, it's just the way that.
America tries to redefine the boundaries of the war. When you can't achieve your military
objectives, you just kind of kill a bunch of people and you pat yourself on the back
for doing so. That might come across as very cruel. It might come across as like redefining
the rules of war that have been established, that America actually played a formative rule
and establishing after World War II. And to that I say, what are you some kind of hippie?
Are you gay? Are you woke? We are doing non-lib-tarded war, which is when you don't achieve any
of your military objectives and you just kill a bunch of civilians and you blow up, you
know, facilities used by civilians, right? That's how you fucking own the libs, I think.
I don't know.
But yeah, it kind of feels like we're not winning hearts and minds here, which is putting
me in a unique predicament as someone who loves the president and someone who loves war.
I love war.
I love death and destruction.
And this has been a strange couple of days.
So yeah, we will achieve no strategic objectives, and in the process we'll just do a lot of
death and destruction.
It's fucking fantastic.
It's wreckage of a downed US aircraft.
The video, as you can see, there appears to show metal and debris in the back of a truck.
Let's bring in Kimberly Halker, our White House correspondent in Washington, DC.
So Kimberly, US media reporting that at least one crew member has been rescued.
more we hearing. Yeah, we're awaiting official statement from the U. S. Central Command
and we expect when it is forthcoming in the interim. What I could tell you is a lot of
confusion in the last hour or so with regard to what is accurate and what's being reported.
Of course, Iranian state media releasing videos of a search and rescue mission being
conducted by the US military showing video of multiple at least two Black Hawk helicopters
as well as a C 130 flying very low over central and southwest Iran in a search and rescue
operation. The question becoming was there are there two pilots or one that has been
the subject of the search and it does appear now that at least one pilot it is being reported
has been recovered but again, unconfirmed reports. What this suggests with one pilot
that it would be an F-35 but there has been more reporting to suggest also that there
is a search for two pilots which would mean this is then an F-15 that has been down. So
a little bit of confusion regarding the aircraft and the number of pilots and that is why we
are waiting the CENTCOM public press release in order to confirm some of these details.
What we do know, however, though, is that the U.S. President Donald Trump has been briefed
about this in-
Could this be a false flag justifying Easter invasion, buddy?
You're out of your dang mind.
Okay?
No.
They're not trying to literally show their ass to the rest of the world.
This is a fucking huge flood.
We already amassed a number of troops in the region.
If you want to fucking invade, you just invade.
Trump has said it already.
He doesn't need a fucking false flag.
It's already over.
Trump is not responsive to public pressure at all.
It doesn't matter at all.
This is probably the dumbest false flag that you could possibly conduct.
There's just no...
No.
do this. They're not just pretending to take significant Ls here, okay? Significant Ls
that undermine the argument that they presented for the past 30 fucking days, which is, we're
doing great. We're doing great. We've destroyed all of their anti-air systems. We have full
air superiority. We've destroyed all of their missile launchers as well. Their missile
long-term capabilities have been diminished, that's a lie. All of that is a lie. And this
proves that all of that is a lie. Like, I don't, there's no, I don't think this is how you would
do a false flag at all. Incident. And is following it very closely. And so we are also awaiting a
statement from the White House. But in the interim, what we can tell you definitively is that
This video does conclusively show that the claim made by the U.S. President that Iran's
air defenses and air capabilities had been destroyed is not true, given the fact that Iran
is claiming that it has shot down U.S. military aircraft.
Kimberly Halkid at the White House, thank you for that update. Let's check in with Ali Hashim
now in Tehran. Ali, what are the Iranian saying about this downed jet?
Well, officially, the only lines we are hearing is that the military and people are looking
for the pilots or the pilot, because the narrative here in Iwan is that this was an F-35 jet.
Now, the Americans are saying it's an F-15 with two pilots, so this is over here the
issue.
With respect to reactions, we are seeing the Iranian Speaker of Parliament, Ahmad Bakr
Al-Khalibaaf, character and personality, very influential these days.
And his name is being repeated a lot.
He says, in a tweet on X after defeating Iran 37 times in a row, this brilliant no-strategy
war, they started, has now been downgraded from regime change to, hey, can anyone find
out our pilot's piece. So this is the first official reaction. At the end, there's something
very crucial here. This is not the first time the Iranians are saying they're attacking
or hitting American or Israeli fighter jets. It started on the 19th of March when they
said they struck an F-35. Then on the American side, there was a report on an incident that
took place with this plane and that the pilot was in stable condition. Later on, we had
about F-15.
Sondi, do you think it's important to mention that Iran has no internet for over a month?
So most of the things you see is what the Iranian government wants you to see, not saying
there was internet. You're going to see Iranian shearing for the bombs or anything like that.
Yeah, I did mention that. But once again, Samira, welcome back, by the way. Welcome
back to doing the same thing that you do every single time. I mentioned that in the
beginning of the story, as a matter of fact, maybe you weren't here, maybe you
didn't hear me say that, but that was quite literally the first thing that I
mentioned. When I talked about how unique it is that there are so many reports, or
so many social media posts coming from the ground about these low-flying,
these low-flying aircrafts on Iranian soil, given the fact that Iran has been
and an effective internet blackout, you know, bro, I need you to, I need to correct you
on one thing though.
I, I did, he said, Morandi is not connected to the government, but I was waiting for the
right moment.
I said, Morandi is a, a spokesperson, the de facto spokesperson for the government,
but officially I don't believe he is, um, I mean, he's, his father, I think was like
surgeon for the, for Ayatollah Ali Hamanay, right? But I don't think he is, I've said
he's effectively a spokesperson. Once again, once again, I know. Let's continue.
And now we're hearing about the F-35.
Just few days ago, there were pictures of one F, one jet.
I don't remember quite the number, but the jet was hit above the area of Sestan Balushistan,
precisely Chabahar.
And there were some videos showing how it was targeted.
Now there was a lot of controversy around this video.
Today, it's clear that, yes, Iran has hit, has struck.
Why is it every time I tune in, you're defending the violent police first Hamas, then the Houthis,
then Cuba, now Iran?
If only, hear me out.
If only there was a significantly more violent force that was dominating every single one
of these non-state actors and also state actors, if only.
Just think for a moment, just think, who's on the opposing side in these incidents?
Is it within your capacity to recognize that perhaps maybe we are the bullies, the violent
bullies?
Landing on Iran is deadly costly, yes, but it's like a D-day to liberate them.
You're fucking idiot.
Okay, whatever dude to liberate them bro is operating on 2003 talking points in 2020 cities bro. I swear to God
Amazing amazing
23 years of liberation and and he's still like well, what if we're just like doing a d-day style liberation campaign like
What if I'm a fucking idiot who was coma toast in the past 23 years just woke up from a coma
and the only thing I learned about was when America did World War II. What then? What now,
Lib Tard? What do you have to say to that? An American jet. And the IRGC said a few days ago
that they've developed, after the 12 days war, they've developed a new system of anti-aircraft
missiles. What's this system? Is it carried on the shoulder? Is it the system? No one knows.
Okay Ali, thank you for that update Ali Hashem in Tehran there for us
Hi, I'm Diana Sada. We're coming back on here with new details on a US fighter jet shot down by Iran
a US official confirms to ABC News one of the crew members has been rescued
Let's get right to Chief Global Affairs anchor Martha Raditz. Martha. What do we know so far? We know that so the other one
MIA for the time being
But apparently one of the crew members have been rescued now
I don't know. I don't know how reliable this information is, because CENTCOM has been aggressively
lying about it. Okay. And the first, the first piece of information that we got on this incident
came from Israeli news as well. And then also the American arm of Israeli news, CBS. So I don't
know how reliable that information is either if we're being fair, right? Just giving you fair warning
here it could be the case certainly that the search and rescue operations were successful
and they got one out it could be total bullshit okay I don't know yet.
There was a two-seater jet an F-15E strike eagle so there is the one crew member they
have found and one crew member remains missing normally in this aircraft there is a pilot
in the front seat and a weapons systems officer in the back seat. It has been more
a song can't help himself a great helpful chatters like damn dog you don't
gotta be a dick most people don't watch your eight hour stream Lamar we have a
life and you should expect people popping and I'm repeating yourself probably
gonna have been a helpful than new chatters chatter you're not being a
helpful chatter I'm gonna explain to you why really quickly before we continue
with the story I know that other chatter that chatter comes in here and
always half listens to what I'm saying only to like repeat the things that I
I have said earlier, and imply that I haven't been saying the things that I have said in
an effort to imply that I'm actually across the board unconditionally offering full support
to the Iranian government.
And I guess in this situation, in this dynamic, I've put all my cards on the table.
I said what I've said about how in order to preserve the Iranian nation state and in
order not to allow it to perish and destabilize and in order to avoid much far worse consequences
in general, I do think that the best possible move going forward is that the IRGC continues
to defend the nation-state and remains intact because otherwise the alternative is not going
to be regime change in liberal democracy or anything.
The alternative is going to be endless ethnic and sectarian conflict fomented by Israel
and the United States of America, and potentially balkanized Iran with 93 million people and
tens of millions of displaced that will trigger another much larger refugee crisis.
So that's the reason why I have my perspective, and a lot of chatters will come in here, especially
Iranians that are in diaspora who hate the government and will say, oh, well, you're
being, you know, pro IRGC, even though I've explained exactly why it comes across as that
way.
I know you know the stuff, but choose to take the phony, Neolib, Neoconrout, of making
this about West versus East, or even colonialism.
I don't even know you want to be associated with types like Nick Fuentes, but you know
he's right on that front.
They already call you an anti-Semite with regular frequency.
You might as well be truthful knowing they will deploy that classic attack.
Truthful.
Why would I fucking lean into idiotic like Jewish hypnosis style conspiracies or like
organized jury or whatever the fuck you believe in, just because people are calling me an anti-semite?
This only works if you genuinely think that I'm like secretly an anti-semite and I'm hiding
it so that I have plausible deniability.
You need to get that out of your mind.
At this point, there is no reason to hide if you're anti-semitic, if you're worried about
anything because a lot of people actually are, a lot of people have become that way.
Um, so if you're hearing something from me, just know that it's because it's something
that I sincerely believe. Um, I mean, look at the, uh, past week and a half's, uh, incidents,
people yell at me all the time. I do believe you're naive towards Iranian government officials,
but I get it since Amiris really is the tagging around right now. You're not going to highlight
their brutality. You said multiple times on a believer pro-RGC or have alternative motives.
No, I mean, I've said it I've said it very clearly
I think like in order for in order for Iran to survive
Okay, in order for Iran to survive and not turn into this this country that is completely destroyed
thousands of years of culture history
The IRGC has to fucking successfully defend Iran the Islamic Republic has to remain intact
Anything that happens after that is up to the Iranian people, but you're not Iran must remain sovereign
Because in the absence of Iranian sovereignty, there will be no liberal democracy at all.
The other side of that, if Israel and America wins, quote-unquote wins, Israel's victory
conditions are a total fail state in Iran turning into Libya, right?
And that's not good for anybody.
That's not good for any of the regional actors.
That's not good for Iranians, obviously, you know?
So the reality of the matter is in this dynamic, regardless of previous state repression, previous
oppression by the state, regardless of how ruthless they've been to their own population,
they are the de facto saviors.
For then 12 hours since Iran released images that they said were of the F-15, this has
not been independently verified, but they appear to be credible images from what they
they say was the crash of that F-15. The U.S. official has also confirmed that the jet was
indeed shot down. This was hostile enemy fire. Now, all of these pilots and crew members,
the Weapon Systems Officer, are trained in what is called SEAR, and that is survive,
evade, resist, and escape. So wherever that other crew member is, and certainly hopefully
that crew member is alive and well, they will know what to do.
They will know to try and hide, to try and evade capture.
Also because it's been 12 hours, the Iranians are taunting the US about shooting down a
jet, but there has been no confirmation in any way that they actually captured that second
crew member.
So that is good news so far as well, but the good news is really been doing anything in
Iran anymore.
Are they just focusing on Lebanon? Well, considering that they blew up another, another, another
university earlier where they were doing, where they were conducting medical research.
And that literally happened while the search and rescue missions were taking place. We
don't know if it was America or Israel that did that, but they are still bombing Iran.
They are still bombing civilian targets in Iran. So I suspect that the Israeli air force
still has their hands busy while also simultaneously conducting another Nakba in Southern Lebanon
and making straight-up hitlerian demands from different ethnic groups living in southern Lebanon,
telling the Druze population and the Christian population in southern Lebanon to not shelter any
Shia Muslims, which is psychotic. It is exactly what Nazis did when they occupied places. They were
like, are you hiding any Jews? Are there any Jews in the floorboards? Remember, you know, they are
doing straight up the same exact holocaust route. It's unfucking believable. That's in Lebanon,
of course, which I cover every single day, but it doesn't get a lot of attention or a lot of
coverage in the rest of mainstream news because obviously we're too busy also destroying Iran
and trying to turn Iran into fucking Gaza. Here right now is that at least one of those crew members
has been rescued according to a U.S. official, Diane. That is good news indeed. And I want to
want to bring an ABC News military analyst, former Marine Corps fighter pilot Colonel
Steve Ganyard for more. Colonel Ganyard, how does this search and rescue mission change
now that one crew member is rescued?
It makes it much more difficult then. The F-15E, as Martha was alluding to, is a tandem
seat, so it's front and back. And so when there is an ejection, the weapons systems
officer in the back seat goes out first and then the pilot for deconcliction so they don't
hit each other as they eject. So in this case, they shouldn't have been very far away. So
that's what's concerning is that they were able to pick up one that either couldn't find
or get to the other pilot. We do see that at least what appears to be the location of
where the aircraft went down looks to be very rugged terrain. So that may have played into
it. But now that the Iranians know we have one and there makes me still another out there,
they're going to be looking for them as well. Most of the military will be focused on rescuing
in that second aviator.
And let's go to ABC's Selena Wang at the White House.
Selena, just two days ago, the president said Iran
had no air defense capabilities.
So what does this mean for the administration
now that Iran has shown it can still shoot
down a U.S. fighter jet?
Well, it certainly puts the president
in a difficult position, Diane.
We are still waiting to hear directly
from the president about this situation.
What we do know from the White House is-
Well, guys, the president has spoken.
He has, he's released a statement.
Um, he said this
I'm not even kidding. This is the only thing he has tweeted out since the f-15 fell
Keep the oil anyone
What do you say I mean what what what can you say what does this even fucking mean?
The guy, the commander-in-chief is a fucking baboon, dude.
Just two days ago, we don't need the oil, let someone else take care of it.
And now he's saying, I guess, keep the oil, anyone?
Which I don't really fully understand what that means either.
I guess he's saying, like, we're going to keep the oil,
or is he telling other people that they're going to keep the oil?
Is he telling you wrong that they should keep the oil? I don't know.
And by the way, there's a lot more, you know, there are a lot more aerial assets that have been dinged.
Maybe some of them actually even fell as well. I'm going to get to that in a second.
We're still talking about the F-15 and the recovery process, but yeah,
the two of the helicopters that were a part of the search and rescue operation were hit.
Apparently the crew is safe. So that's another
Moment of of you know operation epic fail
Another epic victory for operation epic fail two u.s rescue helicopters were hit by ronnie fireter and f15 search
Searched it today
All crews safe source mbc
Once again, we don't even know how reliable this information is
But also as far as I understand another a10 work warthog was hit as well
Well, but that pilot, even though I think they downed the A-10, that pilot is safe.
He was immediately rescued.
I think he was able to make it out of the Iranian airspace, at least.
So yeah, that was over the straight of Hormuz.
And I mean, the summary so far, the incidents is one F-15E fighter jet was shot down.
One pilot was rescued.
search for the other, uh, the weapons specialist is still ongoing, uh, and USF, uh, US, uh,
Air Force A 10 warthog crash in the Persian Gulf.
The pilot was rescued cause unknown black hog helicopters were hit while conducting search
and rescue for the F 15E jet and the crew is safe.
So, um, yeah, that's, I mean, it's not looking too great.
I will be honest.
It's not, you know, I want to believe, I want to believe in my mind and my heart and my
soul that my president, my big, beautiful president and drunk rapist Pete Hegseth are
not lying to me, but it's becoming increasingly clear that they are maybe lying to me, right?
Also the United States apparently put forth a 48 hour ceasefire and Iran rejected that
proposal, which is also rather odd, why would you demand a 48 hour ceasefire if you're winning
and you're winning big? That doesn't make a lot of sense either, which Iran said no
to regardless. That's weird. That's a weird thing. It kind of doesn't align with the
whole victory parade thing that we were going with.
But also I will say this, it turns out the downing of the US jets won't affect negotiations
with Iran, Trump tells NBC News, which again, when you're bargaining from a position of
significant leverage, right?
That's how you showcase how powerful you truly are.
You say, oh, it doesn't even matter that we're losing these fucking planes, right?
Like, I don't even care.
I wanted those planes to be down so you can feel confident in your anti-air defense systems,
right?
Like maybe that's what he's saying.
In a brief phone interview, President Trump refuses to discuss the specifics of ongoing
search and rescue efforts in Iran after the American jet was down, but he expressed frustration
about some of the coverage of what is plainly an intense and sensitive military operation.
As of today's events will affect any negotiations with Iran, the president said it would not,
no, not at all, no, it's war, we're in war, Garrett is what he said.
There's also an F-16 that was potentially struck as well.
There was an F-16 that squawked 7700 out of Iraq while this was all happening to possibly
Formant aerial assets were struck and targeted by the Iranian air defenses within a matter of hours. Yeah, they were they also had
an emergency code
an emergency
landing
Code for a a f-16 fighter jet as well
Well, there was a strato tanker too, Jesus fucking, okay, well, there are more aerial
assets that have been struck than I can even keep up with at this point, which is usually
what's happening when you're winning the war, okay?
I'm going to need more Lego videos to fully grasp the situation.
Yeah, that's, let's just say the American Air Force is not having a fucking good day.
Okay.
To say the least, this significantly undermines the argument that America has maintained air
superiority over Iranian air, Iranian airspace, and not only that, but also how the fuck are
Are they going to do a lending mission in Isfahan?
How is that ever going to be achieved?
Because that's the thing that Trump has been floating.
There's a couple different theories out there of what we can do with all of our hard-dicked
Marines that we've sent into the region, right?
Their cocks are hard.
They're chewing on blue chew.
They're eating all the best crayons.
They gave them lobster-flavored crayons for this specific mission.
They're ready to go, right?
Dick's hard, ready to go.
fucking Rambo, okay? Now the problem is a couple of the missions are either take over
Karg Island and establish forward operating base there and gain leverage over Iran to try
and convince Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz that way. Issue here is Karg Island is not
as fortified as like the mountain side is, but it's still within striking distance of
Iranian missiles and drones, and even if you were to successfully land your
your conventional forces and defeat their conventional forces on the island
itself, you're gonna get pummeled when Iran decides to, you know, quote-unquote
nuke the island, not nuke it with an actual nuclear weapon, but you know with
ballistic missiles. And I'm fairly certain that they would do that in an effort
kill as many American soldiers as possible, because, you know, it's just, it's a tactical
retreat at that point that would yield a horrible, a horrible defeat for American forces there.
So that's one of the goals here.
The other one is obviously the even nuttier one, which is, you know, some, some fucking
zero dark 30 shit that Donald Trump seemingly came up with where he wants, he wants to land
in Isfahan deep inside of Iranian airspace, going over the mountains and land in the Isfahan
nuclear facility and excavate, create a runway and excavate like drop special tools specifically
so they can dig down into the facility and and take out all of the uh what we suspect is the
enriched uranium that is inside of this facility which by the way we don't even know if they're
there uh take it out somehow fly it out uh don't really understand how that's going to work either
that seems also uh that that seems like another opportunity for for uh iran to to you know take
a significant tactical victory there as well. So, I don't know, I just don't understand what those
goals look like or how they would ever achieve it. Yeah, they would have to also have an international
atomic energy agency scientist on the escort mission as well, obviously, to figure out what
they're even looking at, not even entirely certain how they would dispose of the
in rich uranium if they're not even extracting it and like taking it out of the country.
So there's that. And then, you know, considering that, you know, they're still taken out at 15s
and a 10s. I don't know if they even have the capabilities of doing a mission like this.
And then I guess there's the other, there's the other islands that are near the Strait of Hormuz,
but all of which requires landing on Iranian soil, landing on the coastline at the very least,
and also clearing out all of the launchers that are in these cave structures,
deeply embedded and hidden inside of these complex tunnel systems that exist on both sides of
the mountains. And we obviously have not been able to significantly deteriorate their launching
capabilities at all, so not sure how you would create any sort of air superiority in that region,
like guarantee air superiority in that region. Iranians, on the other hand, are obviously
demanding that Americans do this. They are excited at the prospect of being invaded.
I don't know if they're posturing. I don't know if they're just simply
They're they're just simply saying that they're excited at this prospect of there actually are but
You know, they just keep saying come closer come closer and who knows
Who knows if that will be the case bro, I had a patient at work today tell me Ukraine open the straight
That's crazy because there were Ukrainian drone specialists that flew into the UAE and immediately I think got shot by Iranian drones
So I don't think that's working out well for the poor Ukrainians that
again, have nothing to do with this and they're just being sent there by
Zelensky to be like I'm playing a role here as well. And then they just get fucking
They just get destroyed
like imagine successfully evading Russian drone strikes sometimes literally the Shah
had drones that Russia got from Iran only to like land in the Middle East land in the
Gulf and then get killed by Shah drones but this time of the Gulf and you didn't even
have to be there you could have just been defending your fucking country from foreign
invaders but Zelensky was like well we got to do this for Israel big dog
You know, we got to make ourselves more useful for American Empire. It's insane.
So, yeah, the missing weapon systems officer on the crash, F 15, he made a contact earlier via
encrypted radio device with the United States military coordinate and 12 news. Also, what the
What the fuck is going on? Why is, why is all this shit coming from Israeli news? Okay.
Why is, why are we only learning about what's going on on the ground from Israeli news?
Every single piece of information that's come out has come out from Israeli news for the
record.
It's always like N12 Ahmed Segal confirms one pilot was rescued. I'm like, the fuck?
The source is familiar with the matter. Say the pilot is the one who makes the first contact
being encrypted radio with the U S military found this a special force sent the locator
and rescue and the navigator makes contact a little later. And the search for him is
still ongoing. The senior Israeli official said that Israel is assistant and is still
assisting the search both with intelligence and by canceling several strikes in it plan
to carry out in these areas that were canceled. So as not to endanger the crew members and
not to hinder their search off. Thank you Israel for not killing our fucking pilots.
Israel was like, we really wanted to blow up every part of Iran, including the part of Iran where the downed, the downed jet is, but I guess we'll have to scale back.
Thank you, Israel. Can everybody say I'm Israel high? Can we, can we thank Israel real quick?
You know, they're not doing, they're not, they're not implementing the, the Hannibal protocol for our pilots as well.
pilots as well. That's cool. Thanks Israel. How wonderful they are. It turns out that
this image might be real. Newsmax confirms that a Black Hawk may have been hit during
the search and rescue operations in Iran as it was last seen trailing smoke while crossing
from Iran to Iraq. Put it about Hezbollah impact during one of the recent barrages.
UAE confirms severe damage to the Habshaan gas facility. FAR's reports of the U.S. also
proposal 48 hours ceasefire on the first but Iran ignored the request and kept
firing oh the IRGC is down in a 10 in addition to the downing of the F-15 and
the hit on the Black Hawk today and also there's another F-16 that had to do an
emergency landing as well so things are going great things are going great we're
winning we're winning bigly and you know every time you think of the gas price
I said the pump. Just remember that it's for the most honorable cause of all.
You're just paying an additional tax. It's called the Israel tax. Okay.
What a day to be monitoring the situation.
Happy, happy Easter, everybody. Happy good Friday. Sorry.
I don't know why I'm coughing.
This is from New York Times, a second Air Force combat plane crashed in Persian Gulf region
in Friday.
Loan pilot was safely rescued.
According to two U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity discussed operational
matters.
That was the A-10 Warthog attack plane that went down near the Shudokore Moose.
About the same time that the Air Force F-15E was shot down over Iran.
In that incident, one crew member was rescued and search and rescue operators were looking
for a second airman.
provide a scant details about the A-10 crash, including how and where it happened.
You think China has started helping?
China has never stopped helping, I guess, but helping in the way that, like, they send,
they rush ship a lot of components that are necessary for continuously building more munitions,
right? Like, that's the way that they've been helping. And I think they've been helping as
as far as like Intel as well.
But that part is just pure speculation.
We don't know if they're offering targeting,
if they're offering targets to the Iranians
or if the targeting is coming from the Russians,
I assume they probably are.
Wait, Trump came out with another statement?
Oh, Mike, wait, no, that's an earlier one, that's from 5 a.m. this morning.
Donald Trump with a little more time, we can easily open the hormone straight, take the
atom, make a fortune, it would be a gusher for the world.
President Donald J. Trump, okay.
That's cool, man.
That's cool.
civilians apparently helping by doing open source intel? Oh, yeah, I saw that. I saw that drop
site news article. That was really funny. Um, yeah. So things are going great. I mean,
things are going fantastic. America is winning bigly. I just want to keep repeating that over
and over again. It's like, uh, just I keep, I need to keep saying that to myself, uh, so that I
keep believing it, right? Like as part of the war effort, right? President Trump has been grieved,
but no official on the record statement from the president himself.
And to your point, this comes as this administration has been repeatedly touting
that the U.S. has essentially decimated the entire Iranian regime as well as its military.
The president in his first prime time address to Americans,
Stim Sabour began, said that Iran has no anti aircraft equipment, no Navy.
Its air force is in ruins.
This administration, making it clear that the U.S. essentially controls the skies over Iran.
But what we are seeing, Diane, is that despite the sustained U.S. assaults-heavy bombing
that Iran is still able to maneuver and inflict real pain and damage here, and when it comes
to the impact on American service members so far since this war began, 13 American
service members have been killed, and at least 340 U.S. service members have been wounded
so far.
All of this against the backdrop of President Trump five weeks into this war still not laying
now a clear exit plan or off ramp to have.
Wow, we really control their skies.
Yeah, famously when you control the skies
of a foreign adversary,
they get to blow up your fucking, you know,
latest and greatest technology.
Yeah.
I mean, that's just how it works, right?
That's just usually how it works.
Famously, when you, a trick their capabilities,
their striking capabilities,
they continue pummeling all the regional actors
the Gulf and also Israel as well. I cannot begin to explain to you how much the American government
and CENTCOM is lying about both the casualty numbers. I do not believe the casualty numbers at all.
The ones that we now know of is around like what, 250 was like a couple weeks ago. I'm thinking
plus 1,000. Casualty of course means wounded in action and also killed in action. So there's that
That part, especially if you tie in like defense contracts, is it probably died as well that
they don't actually reveal at all.
I assume the casualty numbers are above a thousand at this point.
And we have been lying about how much we have diminished a Ronnie strike capabilities and
new intelligence from the American side that was leaked to the press.
As of yesterday, as of a couple of hours ago, shows that America has also been lying about
our offensive capabilities as well and our offensive successes as well. So we're just
lying on every aspect of this, trying to win over, we're trying to win the messaging war,
but at the end of the day, there's only so much you can yapp when the results are still
what you see on the ground. If the Shreddifor Muz is still controlled by the Iranian Navy,
then it doesn't matter what you say about how you have dominated Iran, right? If you
You claim that the Iranian missile launching capabilities have been significantly deteriorated
by Iran is still striking Israel.
Iran is still striking the Gulf.
Then obviously that doesn't fucking matter either.
Right?
Well, what prove you got the casualties in the thousands?
The fuck are you saying?
You're wish casting.
I'm offering sober analysis.
What do I mean by this?
Because in the first couple of days, they said only six or there were only six that
were killed and that's it.
And then investigative reporters found out that the number actually was 250, right?
I'm just going off of proportionality here.
Given that they first said it was six and the true number was around 250, then they
said it was 13, 13 dead and that's it.
No casualty numbers whatsoever.
I am leaning into the intercept reporting that just came out on this, that the U.S. casualty
numbers are being covered up. Once again, this is the type of thing that you just don't want to hear
because in your mind, you have decided that, you know, the American, you have American exceptionalism
baked into your consciousness. You just genuinely cannot comprehend that America might not be doing
as well as you think it's doing. And that's fine. But you are my favorite guy. That's why
we don't ban you in the chat because you say incredible things like gangie. You don't understand.
That's not true. They wouldn't even be able to hide that, bro. Okay. Once again,
I think you are mistaken. Okay. You just don't know what casualty means. I'm not saying that
1,000 troops have died. I'm saying the casualty numbers that they tried to hide initially
was approximately 250 plus. Casualty means wounded in action and killed in action, okay?
Rendered ineligible for combat. That's number one. And when they said the KIA numbers were at six,
the true numbers were around 250, so proportionality in mind,
considering that we know the number of killed in action has increased.
It's very hard for me to assume, especially with like American assets,
retreating from the region, not receiving, not achieving any of its strategic objectives
whatsoever and Iran continuously pummeling American military bases in and around the
Gulf and also successfully taking out American assets on air bases in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere,
including what the Iraqi forces as a part of the resistance have been able, like the
the objectives that they've been able to achieve,
I suspect the casualty numbers are far higher.
The Pentagon has sent outdated statements
on the number of, most of the places they were evacuated.
Yeah, no, totally.
The Pentagon has sent outdated statements
on the number of US troops killed or wounded
during the Iran war resulting in undercounts,
Almost 750 troops have been wounded or killed in the Middle East since October 2023.
An analysis by the intercept is found, but the Pentagon won't acknowledge it.
That's since October 2023.
Okay.
That's since October 2023.
That's, uh, that's, uh, like the reason why that number is so high is because once again, I'm going to repeat it.
That's since October 2023, right?
Since October seven.
But given the tendency of SENTCOM to grossly under-report the casualty numbers, it's reasonable
to assume that it's no longer a 250, which is now the official number that we know because
of investigative reporting.
US Central Command or SENTCOM, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, appears
to be engaged in what a defensive visual called a casualty cover-up, offering the intercept
low ball and outdated figures in failing to provide clarifications on military deaths
or injuries.
At least 15 US troops were wounded Friday in an Iranian attack on a Saudi air base that
hosts American troops, scoring the two government officials that spoke with the intercept.
Hundreds of US personnel had been killed or injured in the regions as the US launched
a war on Iran just over a month ago.
President Donald Trump wore blue suit, red tie, a ball cap to dignify transfer of the
first Americans killed in the war, said casualties were inevitable.
When you have conflicts like this, you always have death, he said afterward.
I met the parents and they were unbelievable people.
They were unbelievable people, but they all had one thing in common.
They said to me, one thing, every single one, finish the job, sir, please finish the job.
Maybe Trump misunderstood the parents.
Maybe the parents were like, please finish the job, like bring the troops back home,
please, please stop sending our children to die.
Israel, that's kind of fucked up. And Trump was like, oh, they're saying they want more.
They want more dead troops. Thank you, Raina Jen for the five gifty subs.
So yeah, this is part of the reason why I suspect that the true casualty numbers are
far higher because of the American government's tendency to underreport because they don't
want more public, more domestic pressure, right? They don't want more domestic pressure.
There's more updates on the recovery, the search and rescue mission. The American pilot of an F-15E
strike eagle that was rescued after his plane was down over southern Iran earlier today was
recovered by two U.S. military helicopters during the operation. The helicopter carrying the recovered
pilot was hit by small arms fire, wounding crew members on board the helicopter. The helicopter
landed safely. All service members are receiving initial medical treatment and will be transported
for further medical care. Two U.S. officials told CBS News, you know, the people that were
welcoming them as liberators were, I guess, shooting at them, but the wires got crossed.
They were, you know, those were welcoming bullets at the helicopter from the Iranians
that were like, please come down, save us.
We're welcoming you as liberators.
We just want to show you how much we love America, right?
Anyway, this weekend may be a critical window for Trump's S.C. into Tucey.
Today is Good Friday.
U.S. stock markets are closed and many major markets across Europe and parts of Asia are
also shut for the long holiday weekend with some remaining close into Monday.
Trump choose to escalate tonight or tomorrow, especially through ground
invasion, there will be less immediate market feedback and fewer real-time
economic constraints on decision-making. The gamble may be that by the time
markets reopen, the situation on the ground has already shifted,
significantly reducing the risk of an immediate market crash and leaving
markets react to a new reality rather than shape events. Recent U.S. military
activity also points in such an escalatory direction. The targeting
all the targeted bridges, transit nodes, and along with strikes on broader Iranian military
infrastructure such as bases and weapons stockpiles not directly involved in this conflict
so far suggest efforts to disrupt logistics and shape a battlefield on the ground.
Reports of the deployment of close air support assets further indicate preparation for operations
that would be aimed at constraining ground force movement and complicating Iranian counter
attacks because, as you may or may not have found out or can comprehend, you don't have
have to be a missile autist or a plane autist to understand,
ATENS are only deployed if you are now interested
in sending troops into Iranian territory,
because ATENS can operate with a direct line of sight.
You can't use Tomahawk missiles
if your troops are far too close to the Iranian troops, right?
All the standoff munitions that you can use
when there's no troops on the ground,
you no longer can use.
need close air support. That's what air 10, that's what a 10s provide. All of this is
an indication that America is moving in the direction of boots on the ground military
warfare. Trump may also think his potential fortunes point in this direction. Backing
down would carry costs while escalation with this window offers a chance to shape both
the battlefield and the narrative before the full economic consequences register. Framing
Developments around a symbolic moment like Easter may also help him present escalation
of success and personal strength rather than perpetuating an open-ended and uncertain conflict.
But he'll be walking into the escalation trap, ultimately making the war harder to exit,
raising the costs for everyone.
What is this?
According to CBS News, sighting two U.S. officials in American A-10C, Warthog, took fire and was
severely damaged during a search and rescue mission for the crew members of an F-15E strike eagle that was downed earlier today over Iran.
The A-10 pilot was able to make it out of the Iranian airspace and ejected over the Persian Gulf, being successfully recovered by the U.S. Air Force.
Okay. Okay. That, I mean, it's out. Like, it's over. They took it down. It's official. They downed it. They downed an A-10 warthog.
One of my old homies, officer in the Air Force, JTAC, they conduct air to ground targeting from the ground. He went social media silent.
I need to explain something to you guys. Okay. The problem is America for like the last 40 years or even
longer than that, has not fought against the military that has the capabilities of refusing
air superiority.
For the last 30 years almost, the global war on terror was conducted by ground forces
that could call in aerial support instantly.
get shot at, they duck and cover, and they call for air support, okay? This is how America
has conducted its warfare. Now, obviously, there were missions on top of that where they
would go into densely populated areas and overtake cities and whatnot, right? Like there's
that too. But most of the time, Americans would get potshots from afar, figure out exactly
where the enemy positions were, and then call in for air support. This is a very different
situation because of the competency of the military that we're trying to destroy and
dominate and because of the fact that they still have denial capabilities. Okay? Like,
they can still clearly take out our aerial assets. That's new. Okay? These aren't just
a bunch of dudes that are using stingrays that were left over from the USSR invasion of Afghanistan.
And these are reliable, like these are guys that are mobilizing, or stingers, sorry.
These are guys that are mobilizing anti-aircraft weaponry and achieving success as far as taking
out fighter jets. I mean, that's new. It's a very different type of war.
That's the reason why America has lost so many assets in such a short period of time.
I mean, what is it like throughout the entire, I don't know, and you can correct me if I'm
wrong, but I think what is it?
How many ATENS were lost in Iraq?
Were there any?
How many ATENS were lost in the global war on terror in general?
One, right?
Seven, someone is saying seven.
in one bad day, the US Air Force received the total amount of damage that they would not receive in
like months of conflict, fixed wing losses in Iraq.
I wish there was a way to, oh yeah, here, 8th of April, 2003.
There was 1A10, 1A10A that was shot down by Iraqi Roland Sam, surface air missiles.
I mean, there's obviously a financial cost to all of this, especially the shadow tankers
and especially the AWACS too, like the, the aerial surveillance planes that Iraq took
out. I mean, not Iraq, Iran took out two of them. Okay. Those are like with today's dollars.
Those are like $500 million worth of equipment that just lit on fire and are gone. Okay.
of them, right? Not only that, but also, um, they've, they've stopped, uh, making the old ones.
There's only six total. Well, there's 13 total, but there's only six of the old ones.
Iran was able to take out two of them sitting on a fucking runway, which I don't even understand why,
I guess like the Saudi air bases don't have any, any, like the, the Saudi air bases don't
have a way to protect these assets.
It's just like it reeks of desperation is what I mean from the American side.
The fact that they are leaving these very expensive assets out in the open to get fucking
Lazard with Iranian drones and Iranian ballistic munitions is crazy
Like
Yeah, the E3 planes cost 540 million dollars each exactly
Yeah, we made fun of Russia doing the exact same fucking thing and it turns out we're doing the exact same fucking thing ourselves
But yeah, F-15 here, this is another summarization of today's bad day for the US Air Force.
Today's reported incidents, F-15E, 48th fighter wing shot down in southwestern Iran, pilot
rescued.
The weapons specialist is still missing.
An A-10C Thunderbolt II shot down and crashed in the Persian Gulf, pilot reportedly recovered.
HH-60G Pave Hawk hit during the search and rescue operation, crash landed across the border in Iraq,
crew reportedly survived. Other reported incidents are a KC-135R shadow tanker,
another one of the shadow tankers, hit an emergency squawk around 10 near Tel Aviv,
an F-16CJ wild weasel, emergency squawk again over Saudi Arabia near the Iraqi border,
And another KC135R, 135R shadow tanker emergency squawk around 7 local time near Tel Aviv.
So all of this happened in the last like 12 hours or so.
Tell me, do you think it's going well?
Because this is different than hitting stationary assets sitting on the runway.
That's stupid for a different reason.
That's expensive, right?
But that's just a stationary asset.
That is getting hit with ballistic missiles.
It means that like Iran has targeting capabilities and better surveillance than we previously
thought, they're getting hit with drones, they're getting hit with missiles, these are getting
hit in action.
That means that Iran still has the capabilities of launching anti-air defenses.
This means that there is no air superiority that has been established, even in areas of
operation.
Okay? If your air support, if your aerial assets are getting lost, if your aerial assets
are being successfully targeted, that means that you have not established air superiority.
This was a problem for Russia as well. Okay? You've greatly overestimated your capabilities
and you've greatly underestimated your enemy's capabilities.
They have no air defense.
They're in the Stone Age.
It's like something it's like someone saying I cut off his hands, but I still got punched out of that.
Yeah.
Except turns out you didn't even cut off their hands.
You just cut off their pinky, maybe.
Okay.
And they're still using their hands.
They still got hands.
Oh, shit.
This is what Trump had said only two days prior.
Right, let's take a look one more time during this period of time. No deal is made. We have a rise on key targets
If there is no deal we are going to hit each and every one of their
Electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously
We have not hit their oil even though that's the easiest target of all
Because it would not give them even a small chance of survival or rebuilding
but we could hit it and it would be gone and there's not a thing they could do
about it they have no anti-aircraft equipment their radar is 100%
annihilated we are unstoppable as a military force maybe April Fools he did
release this on April 1st so maybe a lot of people are not factoring that maybe
he's gonna come out and be like April Fools I was just kidding when I said
We've destroyed their their air defense capabilities thoroughly.
We have full air superiority over the Iranian airspace.
April Fools, I was just getting I wanted to make our pilots play on new game
plus difficulty, make it harder for them.
Come on.
You know, every damn day.
Also, Northern Tehran is under heavy strikes, heavy air strikes again, which is the Israel
method when you are not achieving your war goals, when you're not achieving any of your
military objectives, your strategic objectives, you punish the civilian population.
That's what America and Israel is all about.
If you recall, anytime Israel got any retaliation, what would they do?
would go and fucking strike Gaza, right? Extra hard. TPR 91. Thank you for the five gifts
of subs. Lieutenant Dan 1855. Thank you for the 10 gifted subs. Do you think all of this
is a failure or someone due to all the generals he's been firing for not being a loyalist?
I mean, I'm sure that doesn't help. Okay. But, but honestly, it doesn't even matter
because he doesn't even listen to the fucking loyalist generals because even loyalist generals
obviously understand, you know, shit's not going too great. It's very clear that he's
not listening to his own intelligence. Otherwise, we wouldn't even fucking hear about it in
the New York Times because here's what's going on. Okay.
Speculation from what I know about how these things work. Okay. Generals are getting together.
They're trying to show the best version of events to Donald Trump every day because he's
like a baby, right? He's a little baby. He's very thin skin. He's very upset. So they don't
want to offend him, but they're trying to soft, they're trying to soft serve that, you know,
the situation is not great. They're not accomplishing their military objectives.
They're not accomplishing their strategic objectives. It's very clear we can see it.
So they are, they are trying to explain to him that it's not working out. The intelligence
assessment I'm certain from the intelligence community is also probably much more alarmist
than even the generals are, but it doesn't even matter because Trump is not listening
to either of these groups.
Okay?
He's not listening to it at all.
Why do I know that?
Because then the intelligence community leaks those assessments to the New York Times.
You don't do that unless the administration is not listening to you.
And I'll take it even one step further.
Suzy Wiles.
Chief of Staff, the most important adult in the room in this administration, the person
that's keeping everything together.
She recently went to the press as well, and she is trying to reach Trump through the press.
That means Trump is not even listening to her.
She released a quote that basically said, Trump is not listening to anyone around him
and the situation is far worse than the way it's presented to him.
Okay?
Is this the one where the Susie Walsh quote is?
As I stated in my announcement of Operation Epic Fury,
our objectives are very simple and clear.
We are systematically dismantling the regime's ability to threaten America.
Where is the video?
Project power outside of their borders.
That means eliminating a ranch Navy. Okay, whatever. Um, yeah, I'll just mute it.
I'll just mute the tab. But yeah, here is, um,
Susie Wiles,
uh, do some key,
some of Trump's key public sports were criticizing the public with a no clear and inside it fell on White House Chief Staff Susie Wiles on a small group of a's to tell the president that the longer this war dragged on,
The more it would threaten his public support in Republicans prospects in November midterm elections
This information is only revealed to the press if
The person that normally would have access to the president direct access to the president is incapable of reaching the president's ear
Okay, Susie Wiles has expressed concerns that aides are giving Trump a rose colored view of how the war was being perceived
domestically telling Trump what he wanted to hear and urged them to be more forthright
with the boss about the political and economic crisis. That's from the time article, right?
This is the same thing that General Dan Raisin Cain did in the lead-up when the
naval assets were building up in the region. If you remember,
he went to the president, obviously, as you're supposed to do, and he explained to him that
this was not going to work. And when the president didn't listen to him, he went to every single
news outlet and said, this is going to be fucked. Okay, we're fucked. We're not going to be able
to defend any of our assets. We're going to run out of munitions. And this is going to be devastating
for American conflicts in the future, right? That was to apply pressure to the president
it from the outside. Susie Wiles is doing this as well. She's doing this 34 days in.
Which means that Trump is not listening to fucking Susie Wiles. White House Chief of
Staff Susie Wiles reportedly urging the White House aides to stop censoring reports of US
military laws in Iranian military successes as well as plunging poll numbers and gas price
trends from President Trump to make him realize what a disaster his great power war with Iran
has become. And if it's actually Susie Walsh saying this to the press, that means Trump
is not even listening to her. And she's supposed to be the adult in the room. She's supposed
to be the competent loyalist that keeps this entire thing together. And if you're not listening
to your fucking chief of staff, so much so that the chief of staff has to go out into
the press and leaked this information, it's fucked.
Not a good sign. It's a very bad sign.
The House Armed Services Committee, by the way, has been notified that the status of the second service member is not known
and may now be missing following the downing of the F-15.
That's not great either.
Seems as though the second F-15, the weapons officer, the weapons specialist is fucked
and is missing in action officially.
And considering how much ground resistance they got from even small arms fire
and the helicopter search and rescue mission that they did,
it's going to be increasingly more difficult
for them to conduct a proper search and rescue mission now,
especially when you have ground forces,
you have civilians all around, armed civilians
that are running around looking for the guy.
So if he did not die in the ejection,
he is most likely going to be captured alive.
That will also greatly harm America's propaganda
during the failed war efforts.
So that's another thing to consider as well.
How all of this is going to end.
And ABC's Britt Clenette is in Jerusalem.
Britt, just a little while ago, as Martha mentioned,
Iran's parliament speaker was taunting the U.S.
on social media.
What does this incident mean for diplomatic efforts
between the U.S. and Iran.
Yeah, he took to social media saying that after defeating
Iran 37 times in a row, this brilliant no-strategy war
they started has now been downgraded from regime change
to can anyone find our pilots?
Please, wow, what incredible progress.
Absolute geniuses.
You know, Iran knows this is not a popular war at home
and abroad, that even America's NATO allies are growing
increasingly frustrated with the mixed messages,
the lack of clarity on war aims and the apparent failure to war game the outcomes such as preparing
for the closure of the Hormuz Strait, one of the most important waterways in the world
through which one-fifth of the global oil supply flows through.
And as you say, they're still able to fire on a daily basis at multiple targets, so certainly
it does raise a lot of questions and frustrations too.
And Martha, we heard Colonel Gagnu talk about how complicated the search and rescue mission
is how does it now complicate the other aspects and objectives in this war?
We're getting fucking mugged dog. That's insane. I mean, I don't know. I it just if
have you thought about listening to what Asmongold has to say, I'm sure he has a lot of
clever opinions on on everything that's unfolding. You know, I'm I'm sure he's out there.
He's out there talking about how everything is great. As a matter of fact, everything is great.
we're doing fantastic. Remember we killed an 86 year old guy who was a cancer. So that was who
had cancer, right? Like that was pretty cool, right? Remember that? Remember when we blew up
that school and that was awesome too when we killed those little girls at school? You know,
that's, I guess you just have to like lean into that stuff. Talk about how wonderful it is that
that we blew up a fucking bridge, you know, while they want to claim Iran is taunting
them, Iran is taunting.
That's true.
Iran is apps of fucking Lutley taunting.
That's 100% true.
They are.
It's not.
I mean, dude, Galabath every day comes out with another, you know, cleverly written statement
about how Americans ain't shit, you know.
They are absolutely doing a fairly decent job with the limited confines of,
I mean, they have limited capabilities and they're doing a very decent job of
defending Iranian soil and obviously denying air superiority to the American and Israeli forces.
That's number one. And then two, they are actually doing a decent job of communicating exactly
how things are going on their end.
Well, I think all efforts will be on finding this other aviator and that will take away
from whatever else they're doing.
This will clearly be a huge priority right now to try to find that other either pilot
or weapons systems officer.
We don't know which one was rescued and which one is that can't even retrieve the
talking about video games because PS5s are now $900. Oh dude. Yeah. Still out
there. I keep thinking about the families waiting as well because these
missions are incredibly dangerous. These combat search and rescue they involve
special operations helicopters usually and remember just as we've all been
saying Iran can still fire back and that is very obvious from what has happened
in the last 12. Sources are telling me these challenge coins are being distributed
to sailors abroad, the USS Gerald Ford is at the parts, Croatia. See, the other problem
here is also the lack of support at the domestic level. When Americans don't support our war
efforts, when we don't understand why we're doing this, when it's overall unfavorable
by American standards, it's much more difficult to craft a narrative that we're succeeding
that actually penetrates collective consciousness.
people are looking at it going, I don't think this is, I don't think this is going well.
I don't want this to happen at all. I'm not exactly sure why we're doing it to begin with.
It's going to be, I mean, obviously like the, the Iranian sides communications are, are
probably going to be a lot more successful at, at, you know, destroying what remains
of the morale. This is a joke, by the way, the laundry token, wash token, help keep
our Russians clean. That's a joke. This is an American joking about the American capabilities.
So, yeah.
So, yeah, 12 hours, all right, Martha, Britt, Steve, Selina, thank you, again, we are hearing
one of the crew members from a US fighter pilot shot down, excuse me, US fighter jet
shot down over Iran, one crew member has been rescued, the other still not found, we are
going to continue monitoring this, and we will return to your regular programming now.
Coverage continues on ABC News Live and ABCNews.com, and we'll have a full wrap up on World News
tonight. I'm Diane Macedo. Have a great rest of the day. All right, let's go ahead.
Oh, let's hear what Fox News had to say about this. Dr. Rebecca Grant, national security.
I know, I know there's gonna, they're gonna cook. They're gonna cook. Let's hear it. Dr. Grant,
thank you so much for joining the program. I want to get your thoughts on this. Just give us,
put this into context in the big picture. There, this has been going on now for over a month.
this is no victory for Iran military analysts reacts to down to f-15
I mean what do you say to that you know
oh this thing that absolutely was unexpected and sucks major dicks for us is actually a
not a victory for the enemy at all and this is the first u.s war plane that we wanted to play
I guess it does bring into focus the real deal as this most recent response about Iran to you
actually killing their own people then assigning ownership of it to Israel and America. No, maybe
yeah, maybe Israel and America helped because they thought that it's bad to kill your own protester.
guy who literally said regime change wars and like democratizing iraq is a fucking spectacular
failure and didn't work is now heavily leaning into that exact same narrative at a time when
the american government isn't right donald trump is not even doing this donald trump is basically
saying yeah we're doing it for oil uh who gives a fuck we're gonna bomb everyone in iran
And, and Aspen Gold is like holding on to this idea that like there is a some kind of democracy
at play here, some kind of liberal, some kind of liberation at play here.
Also same guy who has demanded the American government kill protesters, okay?
Same guy, same guy who has said America should kill more protesters and put them in concentration
camps is now talking about how like, we're actually blowing up Iranian bridges, you know,
blowing up the pastor school of medicine that's been around since 1920, that actually created
indigenous COVID vaccine. We're doing that to liberate the Iranian population somehow.
No one believes this. This is unbelievably stupid. I don't even think Asmongole believes
this. He just has no other option here. Just because they want to change the government.
people aren't doing anything wrong. He just justified mass murder of civilians because
of Israel. As I've said before, Hassan will always fall off on the side of defending,
rationalizing, justifying, and downplaying Islamic terrorism.
Islamic terror. What is the Islamic terrorism? They did Islamic terrorism to our F-15 fighter
jet earlier today. Did you guys see that? They did Islamic terrorism to our US Air Force
A-10 Warthog when it crashed near the Strait of Hormuz. That was really fucked up the way
that they did islamic terrorism to that really fucked up dude it's islamic
terrorism when you say israel shouldn't do a genocide thank you asman goi oh dude
always do this every single time yeah this is his new talking point about you
regarding defending islamic terrorism he's done it a few times recently yeah
It's going to be, it's going to have limited success, I think, as the situation unfolds and as
people start having to reckon with, as people start having to reckon with like how unsuccessful
the American initiatives have been thus far, as more and more, you know, American U.S. Air Force
assets are taken out, they will realize that it's not, you know, this kind of counter narrative
doesn't actually work. I'm just giving you an accurate analysis of the things that are happening.
He has embraced the Osbara, Israel, tiny country, size of New Jersey. Isn't it crazy that
they can't even have one country, some shithole that's the size of New Jersey,
Israel? They can't even have that.
Israel size of New Jersey Israel why can they not have Israel one country tiny nation
Israel size of New Jersey no politics here
Oh, he's so fucking base, dude. He's Mr. Bayes. Yeah. I love, I do, I do appreciate like
a Asmongold's Cadillac fucking fan base going from Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism to
so quickly snapping back to defending israel with like talking points that were destroyed pretty
much in the eyes of the collective all the way back in like i don't know december of 2023
saying israel's a tiny nation uh why can't they have israel is a talking point that doesn't even
work in like 2024, let alone 2026. My man's doing it. My man is a mainlining
Hasbro at this point. Awesome. It must be so embarrassing to be a mold man fan.
Um, I think it's more so, uh, it's just, if you're an Asmogol fan at any point in
your life, you already have dropped any sort of self reflection capabilities.
You're just, you're incapable of understanding the way that the world
views you, your world view, the guy that you really appreciate. But yeah, I mean, he
went from saying Nick went as his base for doing Holocaust denial to hitting
Hasbro lines, you know, and defending little old Israel here. Why can't they
have a little old genocide I mean come on I mean bro think about like god damn
people are just not having it just let yeah just let him have it man god damn
let him have a little bit of genocide dude
percent of Jews on planet earth live so it's right he would even his even his
audience is not fully on board with it, but I guess they're not suspicious enough of why
he's doing this now.
But they did not kill 40,000 people in two days, like you're unbelievably dense, it
was three days, idiot.
That's just not true, that's not something that happened.
There's no evidence that that happened.
It's also physically impossible for it to have happened.
And most people understand that that is not a correct number, you know.
It's an unbelievably high number that is, I mean, unless they just like blew up entire
city blocks, Israel style, they're not capable of murdering 40,000 people in such a short
period of time. Why doesn't it work? Why doesn't pro-Israel
talking points work? Have you looked at the polls recently? I mean, this is something
that I repeat pretty much every day at this point. It's become my mantra, but this is
the most popular Israel will ever be in the United States. Today is the most popular Israel
will ever be in the United States going forward. Tomorrow, Israel will be less popular than
it is today. Something to remember for all the Jewish advocacy orcs that keep tying themselves
to the genocidal entity, okay? Or even as many gold as a matter of fact. I mean, going
from Palestinians are inferior people that deserve to be genocided to then taking an
anti-Israel slant when it became unfavorable to defend Israel to then looping back around
to defending Israel's existence and Israel's violent actions is very interesting.
But I guess, as I've said over and over again, when your audience is comprised of some of
the dumbest people on the fucking planet, they don't necessarily punish you for contradicting
your statements from like a day prior, especially when they don't even get mad at Trump when
he contradicts himself in the same statement, right?
Because Trump, even in his address, in his presidential address, literally started off
by saying, oh, we're saving the Iranian people, and ended the presidential address by saying,
we're gonna bomb Iran back to the Stone Age by destroying its electrical grid and destroying
its bridges and shit.
So those two things are at odds with one another, right?
But because the audience is unimaginably dumb, they still believe it, I guess.
Or they, they delude themselves into thinking that there is no contradiction here.
It took them three days to do that.
Convinced yourself.
It doesn't even, it doesn't even matter like, them killing 10 people is-
It doesn't even matter.
Still fucked up.
Yeah.
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?
But there's no propaganda about Palestine.
The amount of people that were killed in Palestine is a defined number that nobody can ever question.
But whenever Iran intentionally takes off the internet, they shut down the entire internet,
they bust in Iraqi militia for.
I'm going to be honest, if this is the best Israel has, as far as Hasbra is cooked, they're
are so done. Like Israel's strongest Hasbro weapon now is a guy who doesn't fucking shower
and is a Holocaust denier. What are we doing? What the fuck are we doing? You know, an inconsistent
worm that has no fucking moral compass whatsoever that will literally say unimaginably heinous
anti-Semitic shit one day. And then the next day he'll turn around and be like, the next
he'll turn around and just like straight up repeat verbatim Israeli talking points.
I'm sorry, but why is he even relevant? I mean, by that or not, he has a fairly large audience
still. Obviously, it's diminished as Trump's popularity is diminishing. Even in the eyes of
of the dumbest people alive, which are the UROID MAGA supporters, double-cooked, um,
you know, he's also, he loves talking shit about me, but hates the prospect of talking
to me. But you know, times are changing. Let's do a crazy power game and run out debating
chance with this really talk about being a debate pervert, but he's not, he's not smart
enough or quick enough to actually defend Israel, even if you were brilliant, it would
still be an incredibly difficult endeavor.
Okay?
Oh, Trump won't say what the U.S. will do if missing pilot in Iran is harmed.
We hope that's not going to happen.
Well, that's an admission that they couldn't extract them and have no idea what the fuck
is going on with the pilot, okay? Don't you guys number? Call his ass. No, I don't have
his fucking number. What are you crazy? Every argument he makes is literally him just fighting
against his own lack of knowledge. For example, he tries to bring up the Gaza numbers. Obviously
no idea. One, what the number is, two, that it's been the official number for almost two
years now because the devastation is so immense. Three, doesn't understand that the CIA, the
American State Department and the Israeli government utilizes the Hamas health ministry
numbers. Those numbers have actually been checked and they are almost always a significant
undercount due to the fact that the healthcare infrastructure has been completely devastated
or destroyed by Israel. And yet, even the 75,000 number is a severe undercount, yet
it's obviously the number that Israel also abides by.
Yo, I'm the pilot, I'm all good, is low-key chill here?
Nice, dude.
You get the coup d'etat special or what?
The president's national security team is gathered at the White House.
Is this good?
At GROC.
Is this a good thing in the eve of one of the pilots being extracted in the other one
not the other pilots on you know Iranian soil chat is this good chat are we winning at GROC
explain this to me like I'm seven
what are you you aviation experts you know saying about all these planes down the ones
I know are freaking out. I mean, I, the people that I lean into for knowledge in this on
the Osin side are not exactly fond of American imperialism. So they have offered fairly reliable
coverage thus far. I don't know what like the pro America pro Israel Osin side is saying
about this. But I do feel like they've stopped coping because this is like the level of cope
necessary to make this situation look good when America's lost a tremendous number of
assets in a matter of like 12 hours. It's very difficult, but let's see. Let's see what
the cope is.
of this mission, doesn't it? Yes, it does. And this is an active combat zone. But Anita,
I've got to say, this is no victory for Iran. Operation Epic Fury has established that air
dominance and is able to continue to attack targets. You know, when we're looking at the area
of the Kazakhstan province here, if this is where the plane has gone down, this is both a
marshy area and a mountainous area. There are a couple of Iranians, airfields, a major Iranian
naval base. And it could be that the F-15E is also really well equipped for doing some
low altitude type of work. So when we talk about air dominance, that means that Iran
doesn't have an integrated link system that can easily hit at medium and high altitude.
I'm talking 20,000 feet and up. But down low, our combat pilots know that you never entirely
suppress the threat. Iran has a lot of man pads. These are infrared homing man
portable systems. These are all things they've gotten from the Russians and the
Chinese and systems that they've improved themselves over the years. And
then simple anti aircraft artillery is a possibility here. What we do know I think
is that this F-15E, this is the workhorse jet of the Air Force. It carries a
a bigger bomb load than any other Air Force fighter.
These F-15s, we have a unit in North Carolina,
a unit in Lake and Heath in England,
and they have been doing incredibly difficult work
flying lots and lots of sorties.
Really, for years, they flew in Syria against ISIS.
They carried a lot of the weight of the precision attack
of Operation Epic Fury.
So, you know, hopes go out.
Maybe we'll find Pringles.
Thank you for the five you've described.
and then a weapon system officer was what the crew of the F-15E is.
And as we know, combat search and rescue, you know, we do not start an air campaign without
that in place.
And I think we're going to hear in the fullness of time about some truly heroic work in this
search and recovery mission.
Rebecca, when you talk about, dude, it's maximum cope.
You talk about sort of low altitude.
What altitude are you talking and what sort of operations would the F-15E be taking out
to this point?
fly with other F-15s? Would there have been a few of them there? And what precisely might
they have been doing?
So we're in the phase particularly in this part of Iran, which was the focus of some
of the initial attacks.
JC-9SD, that was the part you did.
Now you see the big bombers and others move out more towards the east working industrial
targets. But it's a possibility that this F-15 was working some of the remaining IRGC
capability. As I said, there's a naval base in that area. They may have been making attacks
there. There are Iranian military airfields. They're going after some of those persistent
targets that are the last part of the target set that Admiral Cooper at Central Command
is trying to work. And in some cases, you need to get down to the floor. We're talking
more than the below, just in general terms, 20,000 foot range. And that's where some of
these other systems that aren't able to stop an air campaign, but they can be effective
those lower altitudes and our pilots know that that is that can be dangerous work down low.
Dr. Grant as night falls there in Iran and we've heard now this is now the number one priority
of this military operation is to rescue this other pilot. What does that look like in terms of
manpower? Are we even sure the second pilot's alive? Was the photo the Iranis posted of the seat
to the second pilot? We don't know. We don't know. But I will, I think, I think the assumption
is that he was alive because he, he released the like an emergency beacon or whatever,
like an encrypted message, according to N12 Israeli news. If we have air superiority,
Why do they have to fly low to avoid radars? Um, top gun, maybe Julie being 07 and renegent
thinking with the five gifted, maybe they just wanted to try out the top gun thing.
You know, they watched top gun and they were just like, yeah, let's, uh, let's fly low.
Let's see. Cause it's cool.
Is this not just horribly embarrassing for our country? Yes. But again, considering that
we don't have the capacity to feel shame because we are bloodthirsty monsters.
I don't know. I mean, most people don't even understand that this is embarrassing. Most
people think we're winning. So what do you say to those guys without giving away any national
security secrets? But what what kind of operation does it take to try to find this other pilot?
Yes, and I know Admiral Cooper will be very focused on that. I'm sure General Kaine at the Pentagon is watching this closely too
One fortunate thing there were plenty of assets in that
You fly low to avoid ground-based radar the terrain blocks it. No, we know man. The point
The question was a rhetorical one
If you have established air superiority, it doesn't matter if the fucking radars can can ping you
You can fly however you want to, right?
It kind of destroys that argument as well.
The destroys the argument that there's any sort of air superiority at all.
Virginia, you look at the map there and you're very near Kuwait,
which could have prepositioned assets.
Iraq as well.
The U.S. has Tripoli, which has come into the region,
don't know exactly where she is, but she carries a lot of assets too.
and types of aircraft that would be involved here you're going to have an on-scene commander
that may be another fighter pilot maybe another f-15e pilot wait did you see the
CNN commentary oh from Amy McGrath former US Marine combat fighter pilot lieutenant colonel Amy
McGrath retired uh Amy McGrath my favorite democrat my favorite democrat from uh Kentucky
who got destroyed by fucking Mitch McConnell's corpse after we dumped like a hundred million
million dollars in that race that Amy McGrath went on CNN. Let's take a look at what she
had to say.
Mr. McConnell's opponent. Same thing in Iraq and Afghanistan as well. If you're going to
be picked up by somebody who is going to turn you over to the Iranian forces,
it's not fake less. Think of the five Carmen channel, think of the five anonymous, think
of the 10 you give the sucks that are going to use you and capture you. Or is the population
happy that you're there and you want to help you. That, we don't know. And so anybody that,
that gets shot down over that, over that space is, is having to deal with that uncertainty.
Yeah, they might just be super stoked to see you, you know, they might just be welcoming you
with open arms. Like I said, that's an offer. That's, that's an option. Uh, well, why are you
being so, why are you being so nihilistic about this? You know, it's just, why are you being so
pessimistic? Why don't you just stop? Beesu five, Hasan's fake glas with another five,
Akiwara, Ashka, Awara, thank you for the five as well. Hype train level five, baby.
Yeah, thanks for blowing up my children, American pilot.
I loved what you did to the bridge yesterday.
I loved when you blew up the oil refinery in the backyard.
That was sick.
I'm just here to welcome you.
I personally really enjoy those sorts of things.
Millions of people displaced from their homes.
I love that. Um, big Iran is rapidly digging out and repairing underground missile bunkers
and silos, often restoring them within hours after you as an Israeli strikes. Oh my God,
who could have fucking foreseen this? Who kept repeatedly telling you that's what's going
on despite claims of major damage. US intelligence says that Iran is still has a significant number
of missiles and launchers and can keep attacking. The only reason why US intelligence reports
are coming to the New York Times is because for some reason, Donald Trump is not listening
to the US intelligence reports that are telling him this privately, okay? Launch rates have
dropped, but Iran is conserving assets, hiding them underground and using decoys, making
it hard to fully assess or eliminate its capability.
It's also one of those things that you just can't really hide because if they're still
successfully striking Israel, if they're still successfully striking American assets on Saudi
bases and whatnot, then obviously what Donald Trump is saying is bullshit.
which rates to drop, but hit rates have increased.
Yes.
Basically Iran has developed a tactic
involving revolving around ambushing.
I would assume most of the time radar is just hiding
and don't scan until this confirmation aircraft
is flying in the trap.
Yes.
Yes.
Their denial capabilities, their anti-aircraft systems,
are mobile. It has to be. If they had fixed, and I'm sure they have fixed positions as
well, they had like fixed anti-aircraft weapons as well, but they've most likely been destroyed.
So they have to be mobile. Everything that they have, their TELs are mobile, their anti-aircraft
the defenses are mobile.
They put them inside a bunker as deep on the ground
and then they dig themselves out
when the entry points are shut off by missiles.
They have excavators waiting inside of these tunnels.
They dig them out, they bring them out.
Same with the TEL, same with their launchers.
And they're still capable of doing damage.
Mike burns the throne Lana
Chisted
Lawn now at your stirrer salon
And jail choppa. Thank you for the five give the subs ex quickly and they give the five get the subs and
Raleigh, I think of the ten give the subs
It feels like one of the parties in this conflict is seriously dedicated and prepared
and the other one is basically an 80s cartoon.
Yeah, because a lot of this stuff is pretty simple to understand, pretty easy to understand
when you realize that we have operated, we've operated Harlem Globetrotter style for like
the last 40 fucking years of conflict, okay?
Literally, I mean, in Iraq, that is precisely what we did.
We bribed the generals to stand down before shock and awe.
We came in with tremendous force, okay?
That's very different than what's going on. Fighting against an enemy that has hardened
its defenses for this exact moment for 40 years, for 50 years, is going to be very different
than fighting against an enemy that had no willingness to defend.
What is this official Lockheed Martin? Why do you lie? Don't talk about stuff you know
nothing about. Like I'm literally in the chat if you have questions. Also, where should
I deposit the 10 K I owe you? Yeah, Lockheed Martin, the best in the business. Okay.
And then your rescue assets could be your big image 53 helicopters, the Air Force special
ops CV 22. That is a tilt rotor that flies level like a plane can also land like a helicopter
faster rugged eyes to go in and do that pickup. But I'm telling you, tankers as well, a lot
of airborne command and control, every airman in the region trying to participate in help.
Wow. Dr. Rebecca Grant, thank you so much. You always provide us with a wealth of information.
Thank you so much. And enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend.
Spectacular code.
Thank you Dr. Grant.
And stick with us for more coverage of this.
Spectacular code from Fox News.
fire during rescue of one F-15 crew member Fox News learns. Good afternoon everybody.
I'm Trace Gallagher in for Martha McCallum breaking right now on the story an intense
search now underway for the second crew member of an F-15E fighter jet down over Iran. One
pilot rescued. We are told President Trump is getting briefings. Iranian state media

Mortaculous thing of the 10 and the ejector seat that at least one crew member reportedly used to bail out
Fox News is not verified the most Iranian TV offering a reward now to blue you
The American pilot hello, Sydney the chief national security
to be a little bit different she's live for us in washington
chris goleand and diversify
trace we've just learned that there was in any fire
uh... during that rescue of one of the crew members who was successfully
rescued after the f fifteen e
was shot down in the southwest province of iran
uh... this is the first
uh... we have learned that there was in fact enemy fire
uh... but uh... that targeted
uh... at least one
ABC News confirms Iran used advanced passive infrared detection to shoot down the American
F-15. Passive infrared detection does not emit radar signals. It cannot be detected or jammed
by American electronic warfare systems. It is invisible to technology. America has spent
trillions building its air superiority around.
Colonel Ganyar, what does this mean for U.S. jet strikes and other aerial missions moving
forward?
that they that the skies are not as safe as they perhaps presumed. My guess is that this was
the date on Keanu. So they used detection that's passive that used heat differences. The president
did say that their radars rolled down and so he probably can claim that legitimately but the fact
that there are still kind of anti-aircraft kinds of capabilities that are based on heat
temperature differences that can identify aircraft and still target aircraft is probably
what's got this here, this at 15 now.
Karnal Ganyar, what does this mean for U.S. jet strikes and other aerial missions moving
forward?
The skies are not as safe as they perhaps presumed.
The missiles also used by Houthi fighters in Yemen use infrared seekers and can fly fixed
pattern in the air until they spot a target the lack of radar means aircraft could have
little warning.
Yeah, is this good?
Did this ever happen during Iraq and Afghanistan?
Even if it did two in one day?
No, I don't think so.
In the entire conflict in Iraq, they took out one A-10, that's it, like one.
This is where we're, you know, 34 days in.
It's just not even a question.
The amount of damage that Iranian ballistic missiles and Iranian drones have done to American
assets in the region is unbelievable. It is unlike anything that we have ever experienced.
I keep repeating this over and over again. Part of it is because we built all of our
fucking bases, which are fixed positions that don't have hardened defenses in and around
the neighborhood with seemingly no assessment on what it would look like if Iran would actually
decide to blow up those bases. The idea, I guess, was that Iran would never hit the gulf.
Like they wouldn't hit their neighbors. They wouldn't hit the American bases in their own
backyard in their own neighborhood. And we kind of got a glimpse of that assessment
When Americans were shocked that Iran started its opening salvo by not only striking Israel,
but also striking all of the fucking American bases in the region.
They were literally like, what are you doing? That's so stupid. Don't you know that's illegal?
You can't hit back. Like that was kind of the attitude, right? If you remember,
that was the attitude in the first couple of days.
People just being like, how dare you? How dare you hit back against? That's not fair. You're not playing by the rules
They're pretty open about it, too
Hagseth was among those taken aback says the person familiar with this thinking he was expecting the Iranians to fight back in some form
When they started attacking virtually the entire region and sort of hit him like whoa, they're really we're really in this now
Now, these are some of the early days, reporting coming out now from that same Time.com article,
right?
As preparations for the war began, the administration believed it had a winning formula.
The US would deliver an opening strike so overwhelming to Iran's only viable response
to be limited retaliation, enough to satisfy domestic audiences without inviting more attacks.
Hexith was among those taking it back, except here's what happened.
America came in, Shakhna style went super powerful, Israel did a decapitation strike, and assassinated
a lot of the leadership that had demonstrated strategic restraint up until that moment.
And Iran immediately implemented its mosaic defense structure, which meant that all of
these units in different quadrants in different parts of the country were operating without
centralized command in mind, they had a contingency plan for it.
So when they established that military deterrence early on, it was shocking for a lot of people,
right?
Hexith was taken aback.
Trump became wary enough of leaks that some of his own aides were the target of subterfuge.
On February 27th, he traveled to Mar-a-Lago, AIDS assembled in a makeshift situation room.
Trump bristled at the number of people present.
He thought the group was too big when official recalls it included people Trump didn't recognize
or didn't feel he knew well enough.
Mekaya, thank you for the tank, gift is subs.
One of the, I mean, one of the, I guess, most ironic parts of the story is that if only
he had listened to his own generals, if only he had listened to his own intelligence community
assessments early on, he would have known that this is a lightly outcome, right?
Because they did tell them. We know that they told them because they told us when
Trump wouldn't listen, right? They went to the press and they leaked to the press.
But Trump was too busy listening to the Israeli intelligence assessment that he obviously places
a lot of emphasis on. He obviously places a higher value on than his own intelligence
community's assessment and his own generals. An aircraft as well as a helicopter that was
part of that rescue mission. Though it would be incorrect to say however that another plane or
helicopter was brought down during that rescue mission that is not accurate. So what we have
learned in the meantime since we first started reporting this hours ago is that the F-15E was
was flying late at night, Thursday night. It was dark out. It was late night, Eastern
time, when it was shot down. It was still dark in Iran at the time. It was early morning
hours, but still dark when those pilots did have to eject.
One of the crew members was rescued and is undergoing treatment right now. The U.S. military
was responsible for that rescue. We've seen visuals of special operations helicopters,
pavehawks that were being refueled over that area. Once it was light out, they, we understand,
were part of the search and rescue for the missing crew member as well as the one that
was rescued. Trace? And very quickly, Jen, just the timeline here. So you're saying that this
happened Thursday night, U.S. time, meaning that this missing pilot has been missing for the better
part of maybe 12, 14 hours.
Is that a fair assessment, John?
I would say longer than that.
If it was late night, our time, we're coming up on,
I would say, yeah, maybe 15 hours missing.
But again, it was early hours in Iran.
Iran is seven and a half hours ahead of us,
Eastern Standard Time.
And so it went down in the dark, but we
did see visuals of a daytime search and rescue
as they were continuing to look for the missing crew member.
Trace.
Jennifer Griffin, we'll get back to you
as the news warrants on this.
Jennifer, thank you.
Let's bring in Rikha.
A 10 village release.
Wait, really?
Actually?
Please, please send.
The sources tell CNN one of two crew members
had been rescued after a US fighter jet was shot down
over Iran.
Images of the wreckage shared by Iranian state media
matched that of a US F-15, including this ejection
see that appears to be damaged. Let's take a closer look now with Colonel Cedric.
Wait, isn't this from yesterday? Wait a minute. Wait a minute. This happened yesterday as well
and it was a different one.
No, that's definitely a 10 the one from yesterday the one from yesterday also
Oh, shit, oh, um, this is, uh, this was released by the IRGC.
So here's the thing yesterday, if you recall, we were looking at this and there was another
video that came out similar to this, right?
There's now officially three of these videos.
was the F 35 and yesterday's might have been a reaper but it also looked like an A 10.
This is the one from yesterday? Yeah.
And I didn't, we didn't get any information on what this was, but this is from yesterday.
This was yesterday's, bro that's AI, buddy.
Doesn't the A10 also have flares?
You're saying they deployed flares, so does the A10, so did the A10, but they still got
shot.
deploy the flares after it got shot.
Oh, this is not an A10, nevermind.
All fighters have flares and chaff, but those countermeasures are not foolproof.
What is this? I don't know if you noticed before, newsreporters like CNN Brazil, France 24 have been reporting this for over 10 hours.
Not because IRGC made an announcement already, but for some reason, American News didn't report on IRGC's allegations.
So something as fishy as fuck. No, no, no, American news have already caught up.
We know, we know all the assets that have been taken out.
I was just thinking of like the, the similar video that came out.
Layton, Colonel Layton, we didn't see the seat there, but I'm sure you have the image here.
When you see something like this, you hear that one of the crew members was rescued.
No determination yet on the other one. What scenarios come to mind?
So there are a lot of scenarios that come to mind here Boris, but as you can see this of course is the ejection seat right here
It appears to have some damage. Thank you for circling that for us, sir. I
Didn't I didn't know what I was looking at
Associated with it. This would be consistent with an explosion that would be a natural part of the actual ejection
So basically these have an explosive charge these ejection seats have an explosive charge
underneath them and that forces that explosive charge when activated forces
the person that's sitting in the seat up out of the aircraft and then that's
when the parachutes are deployed and things like that happened so this is a
you know not inconsistent with a safe ejection and it's something that is
definitely survivable from from that assuming that the impact and everything
was as we see here where it's everything is kind of right right side up in this
case. What it was initially reported, state media in Iran suggested that this was an F-35 stealth
fighter jet, but upon closer inspection of some of the photos of the wreckage, analysts have since
determined that this is more likely an F-15. It's more consistent with the makeup of an F-15.
That is absolutely right. You basically look at the type of metal that is used in this particular
case you look at the markings, and you look at the way in which all of this is printed
in, stenciled in here in the type of rivets that you see, all of that is consistent with
an F-15. It is definitely not an F-35. And that is important because an F-15 is not a
stealth aircraft. The F-35 is a stealth aircraft and it's harder to detect almost impossible
for standard radar to detect the F-35. F-15 can be detected by radar.
If it were an F-35, I imagine that it would symbolize a different capacity for Iran's
military whereas this does not.
I do want to get your thoughts on the video that was geolocated by CNN showing a plane
flying low over the ground while two helicopters are nearby.
It's believed to be part of the rescue operation.
Walk us through what's happening.
Yes.
What you see here is there's a refueling.
Didn't issue down on F-35.
35. Look, we go, excuse me, excuse me. Um, yes, but, uh, it actually, it actually did
a crash landing on its own volition. So technically they didn't. Okay. I mean, there's a reason
they're not sending F-35s any longer. There's got to be a reason for it, right?
Yeah, this is the Chinese video that was pretty crazy. Chinese video by Laohou Talks World is
going viral online, breaking down how Iran could target the F-35 Lightning II using existing
equipment by simplifying the problem step by step. Yeah, the F-35 last week actually had a
laundry fire incident. Uh, that was, that's what happened. Yeah. So, but, uh, yeah, this
is, uh, you know, Chinese netizens, once again, doing OSINT in a way that, uh, uh, Americans
can't even comprehend. Speaker argues that air combat isn't realistic given Iran's aging
fleet, including decades old Grumman, uh, at 14 Tom cats and instead focused on ground
base air defense. He contrasts large systems like the S-300 and the Bovar 373 with smaller
mobile systems like the Majid air defense system, arguing that lighter decentralized
setups using infrared tracking could be harder to detect and survive longer. His view is a
part of a wider phenomenon from China as the Middle East's conflict unfolds. Civilians
are volunteering without pay, their technical skills, and social media to help Iran counter
US military power.
How to shoot down an F-35 with Iran's existing equipment?
但有个装备,击落F35,这道题怎么解呢?
要把大题拆成小题再用
Big question into small questions, then use the method of elimination to solve it.
How to shoot down a 5th generation stealth fighter, you can't figure it out,
but break it down, for example, how to hit a plane, then you definitely can.
And you can even apply it to other cases.
Learn how to hit an F-35 that is hitting, then is hitting a B2 the same logic.
Let's begin.
Nothing more than two methods.
One is air to air.
Planes fly up and use airborne weapons to hit.
Second is surface to air.
Use anti-aircraft weapons on the ground to hit it.
Which one?
Correct.
Given the current situation, the first type
is not very realistic.
I mean, it's basically, the summarization stands.
It's saying that like military aircraft parked in the open
have basically been reduced to parts,
even if some can be preserved by relying on K bunkers.
Airports are also being watched very closely.
Even if they can fly,
the technical gap is simply too large
because the F-14 gets gapped by America
and Israel's existing equipment.
After all, Iran's only active air superiority fighter
is still the Pahlavi dynasty era acquired F-14s.
The airframe age is at least 48 years old
cannot have original factory, original period maintenance, just can't help.
So only go service to air.
Also two options.
One is using barrel weapons, like anti aircraft guns.
Two is using missiles.
How to choose.
Currently, there's no evidence showing Iran is equipped with integrated fire control radar and optical electronic systems modernized with self propellant anti aircraft guns.
F 35 also dares not to go low altitude.
So you still have to use the missiles.
What kind of air defense system is needed to use the missiles one is long range the other one is short range
Long range air defense system such as the s 300 introduced from the big goose Russia and the independently developed of our 373
The size are all very large missile launch units
Missile launch units for our control radars control cabins etc
Are separate need multiple vehicles to form a complete system deployment time is wrong target is obvious
need multiple vehicles to form a complete system. Running around is a grand process.
Under the condition of air superiority, disadvantage, survival capability is very limited.
These are expensive pieces of equipment, as I've described to you. They're not as mobile,
and, I mean, they're not fixed positions, but they are easier to target if you have
loitering surveillance like if there's Israeli what is it Hermes or the Reaper
drones loitering around constantly surveilling the scene you don't want to
lose these big guys okay. Iran experienced a previous few rounds of conflict and
also suffered quite a lot started developing towards the direction of
miniaturization and also distribution just a few months before this round of
conflict Majid short-range air defense systems began to enter service in large
numbers. It adopts a light off-road vehicle chassis and the entire system is very simple.
They basically fucking put, they put these surface air missile systems on the back of
these K trucks. Very easy to replace, very easy to replicate, very easy to repair. Okay? Because
remember, Iran has tremendous industrial capabilities. Like they have a domestic manufacturing of vehicles.
they can utilize that instantly with spare parts to rebuild the same TELs as well as their anti-air defense systems.
Two people can drive it and run, complete launch, reload, and other related operations.
So the way it works is, and this is exactly what they utilize for their, hold on one second.
This is exactly what they utilize for their, hold on.
One moment.
Okay, sorry, I have to do something.
This is how they utilize their launchers as well, right?
They dig themselves out of the caves, the tunnel systems,
they come out, they launch, they surveil the area,
see if there's any like, you know, droves or whatever.
They come out, they launch, they leave the car, okay?
And in the next like 10 to 15 minutes,
if there's no strikes on the car, they come back,
retrieve it, bring it back into the cave system.
Okay, that's how it works.
This is part of the reason why the IRGC's, like forces have not diminished as well.
Cause a lot of people are making a big deal about like how all the IRGC,
the IRGC missile launchers are being destroyed.
They're killing all these fucking people at the moment of, of the missile launch.
And that's not the case at all.
They come out, they launch, they leave the car, they go back into,
they leave the car, right? After they launch quickly, and then they wait out for like, you
know, 10 to 15 minutes. Because remember, Iran is fucking massive. Okay. Iran's massive.
So you can't have complete surveillance. Even if you had air superiority over Iran, it would
still be quite difficult to have complete coverage and complete surveillance over every
area and immediately send strike teams to an area where there's a TEL launching a missile
in the direction of Israel or the Gulf States.
And in the first week or so, I think Israel and America had a lot more success, even with
the mobility that Iran has with their striking capabilities, they had a lot more success.
And obviously, they don't have infinite ammo, they don't have infinite fuel.
They have to, if they're engaging in a war of attrition with a country that is like infinitely
more mobile, very vast, very large, topography doesn't favor, the topography doesn't favor
the invading forces either.
Eventually you're going to start rationing your capabilities.
So basically they've realized all they need to do is just like dump the you know hit dump
the car wait it out retrieve the car or you know it's a lost asset who cares loaded with
passive infrared guided short range missile systems maximum effective range is eight kilometers
not equipped with radar instead uses an opto electronic system the track and lock air targets
What is this? Previously there were friends who always said that stealth fighter isn't
stealthy either. My eyes can see it. Because stealth is targeted at radar stealth, but optoelectronic
systems as long as they can see, they can hit, and optoelectronic searching will not
trigger the enemy plane's RWR warning very suitable for guerrilla warfare. Actual combat
The combat effects are also very good.
Two years ago the Houthi forces used captured air to air missiles and civilian-grade optoelectronic
equipment bought online, I wonder where they got them, hard assembled some even wilder
improvised air defense systems, found punching F-15s, kicking Apaches was no problem.
In this conflict, America's Reaper drones, Israel's Hermes and Heron drones have been
poked down at least 20 units.
The vast majority of our battle was also achieved by the Majid.
Under suitable conditions, shooting down the F-35, this kind of slow-moving man, fighter,
is also not some strange thing.
But the problem comes, its range is too short, early warning time is not enough, need to
have equipment with further detection distance to find the F-35. One is radar
legends say through mysterious forces obtained.
One is radar systems mysteriously obtained like the YLC-8B and the ZY-27A
mysteriously obtained by Iran. Who knows where they got those radar systems from?
Such anti-stealth early warning radars, that is impossible, there is no such thing at all, and self-developed Alborz 1 and Mirage 4, etc.
Long range radars and anti-stealth capability is limited, quantity is still small, estimates they are no longer there, estimate they are no longer there.
What to do? Using optoelectronic detection is perhaps the best way.
Go find some cheap, mature civilian equipment and distribute it to the front line.
For example, optoelectronic sensors possessing infrared mode.
In the world security, industrial maritime and other civilian fields, it is already quite universal, very easy to find, very easy to get.
Of course, if you can find military grade ones even better, then each unit arranges this equipment around the positions.
Use for aerial detection overlapping each other forming a distributed air defense network someone someone says wait a minute old who
You mentioned before relying only on this one cannot see clearly not good for identifying targets
No matter at this time. We just won't identify we can't see the outline clearly
But being able to see the heat source is enough
Anyway, you can use your own planes
Anyway, your own planes have basically completely stopped flying as long as you can see an aircraft
then it is a hostile target. True. He didn't say it was mysteriously obtained, but it's
using a mysterious technology. After mastering the enemy situation this way, drive the small
pickup truck to a suitable position, wait to enter range, then blow it up. Of course this
line of thought still needs meticulous planning and command. Also must have enough patience
in a certain amount of luck, but might as well give it a try since they've come. Just don't let them go back.
The problem with an eight kilometer range is that it's only 26,400 feet. US fly at 35,000
or higher. So even if you were standing directly under the plane, you couldn't reach it. The reason
we are seeing the RGC shooting more aircraft down is that they're lower flying aircraft that are more
more vulnerable. TLDR, IR missiles are used to shoot down missiles since radar systems
are easier accounted. This guy didn't really tell them anything new, the systems he's
showing are Iranian. No, that's what his analysis was. He's saying utilizing the existing technology
that Iran has, and its capabilities that it has, there's still an opportunity to be able
to strike at an F-35 using infrared technology rather than radars, which, I mean, the F-35s
are supposed to be radar invisible regardless.
That was the point.
And what he's explaining is something that most analysts suspect is what we are doing
already.
of now. Wait, wait a minute. As of now, Trump is not flying to Mar-a-Lago or golfing over
the weekend. Oh, shit, brother. No, that's, that's his number one favorite activity, bro.
This guy has been golfing through it all this entire time. Is he going to be, is he going
to be all right?
The White House has called the lid, meaning we don't expect the president, we don't expect
the president to appear on camera for the rest of the day. He had no open press events
today and has not yet publicly commented on reports of a US fighter jet being shot down
in Iran.
A senior administration official tells me the president is working in the Oval Office
or the Oval Dining Room throughout the day receiving updates.
They added that the president's national security team is also around.
As of now, Trump is remaining in Washington for the weekend instead of traveling to Florida.
Oof. It's a big oof. There are more helicopters that are still searching, three helicopters
searching the northern part of Iran's Kuznish Don province for the second missing US pilot.
They're still searching. They're doing a nighttime search now. Brother, you're practically begging
to fucking drop one of these helicopters at that point. I mean, these things fall all
the time. It's not even necessarily, I mean, that's crazy. These things fall when you have
a, you know, when you have a fully flushed out operation.
The other issue is that the U.S. is running out of what they call exquisite weapons, which
are very expensive standoff weapons they would use for SEAD, suppression of enemy
air defense missions. Now that we are running out of those, we are now using less sophisticated
weapons like the 1972 released F-15, we are likely to see far more shoot-downs as the
US is forced to use more weapons systems like that. Yeah, what is it like a fucking quarter,
at least according to reports that they have released? So it might be worse, it might be
better. We've used a quarter of our Tomahawks so far in the last 32 days. These are long
range. These are long range munitions that we can lob safely from afar at targets, right?
We've used 14 years of production in the last 30 days. Yeah. This is before we even factor in
potential export controls. If there was any sort of like war that we wanted to engage China with,
you know, there's that reality as well. At that point, it's over. America will literally run out
of ammunition. Okay. The United States and the entire Western world, which is, you know, basically
just the United States anyway, will run out of ammo. What do you do then?
Some thoughts on the combat search and rescue mission sees are today over Iran. Normally,
these would be highly sensitive. But in today's connected world, that ship is well and truly
sales as Greg Bagwell, president of UK Air and Space Power Association.
But as we await official confirmation, I will be guarded in what I say.
The CSAR mission is extremely well sourced in the U.S. Air Force and is conducted with
the units with an Air Combat Command and Air Force Special Operations Command.
It is well-practiced by all air crews and is a key part of any mission brief.
The major specialist assets include an HH60G, W. Pave Hawk,
Jolly Green II helicopters, HC130J, combat king refuelers,
and the all important para rescue jumpers
who can provide immediate first aid and protection.
The para jumpers are actually objectively kind of cool.
I'm not gonna lie, but that's besides the point.
All right, if an incident occurs,
all efforts quickly focus on a rescue.
The nearest aircraft possibly from the same formation
takes responsibility as the on-scene commander
and the AEW aircraft of Airborne Acts as coordinator.
Specialist assets are normally on ground alert nearby.
Timers of the essence and the downed aircraft
need to stay, the air crew need to stay hidden.
But get a location to the rescuers as soon as possible
then the helos can move out as they are
the time critical element due to their slower speed.
The OSC helps locate the air crew
provides any overhead protection necessary. They can be replaced by more specialist aircraft.
It appears that A-10s may have been used in this case. They provide lots of firepower and
their slow speed and tight turning circle makes them ideal. Once located, the helos will direct
the aircrew to a pickup area or to fly to their location if they cannot move. Obviously, there
are potential risks to the rescuers and this will be weighed up in prosecuting the mission.
it. Once successful, the package then heads to safety. It appears that, uh, Bish. Hold
on one second. I gotta look at something real quick. Okay. It appears that the Iranians
initially claimed the F 35 was intercepted, but records immediately identified an F 15
E. It's worth noting that this would have helped Iran who might have been looking for
single aircrew, so careful all you oscent types. Although Iran claims to have shot it down,
it's just possible that it had a catastrophic failure and the crew had to eject for different
reasons. Also, a dual ejection could mean crews being significant businesses apart
and unable to join up to be rescued together. We still don't know the fate of the second
aircrew with one having been extracted and I won't speculate further here.
Okay. Yeah, we'll do the Matthew Hassan Professor John later once we're done monitoring the situation because I'm actually very excited to see this Matthew Hassan conversation.
Okay.
Which by the way, the search missions are still ongoing. Apparently they're still have helicopters flying around Northern Iran trying to find these trying to find this remaining air crew is surprising.
surprising, is surprising how much effort and risk is expected in recovering just one or two air
crew, but the political leverage of a captured one is always in the minds of commanders. It's
an incredibly brave role that is required quite rarely, but what it is is literally a lifesaver.
Now, what's funny about this, of course, is that, um, at least we still haven't reached the Israeli
method. Okay. Because the reality is what would happen if this was an Israeli pilot is they would
just deploy as many standoff weapons as possible into the area to try to kill the guy. Okay?
A process known as the Hannibal protocol. The Hannibal doctrine. America still doesn't do that.
They obviously will go to great lengths to ensure that Iran doesn't get this massive
fucking victory over America instead of killing the pilot by figuring out exactly where the
pilot is and just like dumping a fuckload of munitions, they're still trying to rescue them.
So far, that might change is all I'm saying, considering how much we have applied Israeli
doctrine, Israeli military doctrine thus far with our targeting. Who knows?
I thought you were going to say they would deploy the Goonsklad platoon? No, no, no.
Kiriko on the Chris Hedges broadcast before
or Hassanabi broadcast, Mogg.
I mean, this will be a spectacular conversation.
I have tremendous respect for Chris Hedges.
He's brilliant.
He is again, one of the most vindicated voices
in American politics alongside Mer-Shymer, Jeffrey Sachs,
and many others.
I mean, these guys are my goats, right?
As you know.
So I am honored to have ever even encountered Chris Hedges
and have been able to interview him.
Hedges is amazing. He said when he goes out of his way to trash the USSR, listen, you're not going to agree with everything that everyone is saying at all times. Okay, it's fine.
You have so many goats, you're a shepherd at this point. Yeah.
Too much glazing my guy you did yes, of course Chris edges is sat right next to me here
And and been on the Hassanabi broadcast
He actually praised me in a way that I never thought I would ever receive from someone like Chris edges
It was like him and Skahill
Have been so
Unnecessarily nice in ways that I do not deserve
Which is also part of the reason why I don't really give a shit when like third way or all these other neoliberal advocacy
or any number of different fucking Democrat centrist Democrats are yelling about how much of a stain I am on the Democratic Party
It's like yeah, okay. Well
You know who gives a fuck you're you're wrong all the time. You're professionally wrong your worldview is is nothing to me
Your statements are nothing to me because I don't respect you but the people I do respect actually have very kind things to say
Anyway.
Your booze mean nothing when I've seen what makes you cheer exactly.
I
Watched it was okay. See I do lied about China and Mersham is a China hog. He can fuck off. Okay, calm down again
You're not gonna agree with everything that these guys are saying just stick to their specialty
Okay, that's it. I don't understand why you guys expect to agree 100% with anyone you don't even agree 100% with me
Actually, that's not true. I think a lot of you do 100% agree with me. And then it's unexpected when there's anything when there's any friction whatsoever and you lose your minds a little bit.
Yeah, same with Finkelstein, right? Anyway, let's continue.
strikes tonight against military and infrastructure targets in the western Iranian city, Abadan,
located at Abadan Island, is the delta of the Shat al Arab, only miles from Iran's border with Iraq.
Did you see Kiryaku coming to your defense?
Yeah, I did. I did cover this.
Chatters walk gods and idols. They don't know how to read reports and absorb good material. Yeah.
When propaganda meets reality, Iran's got missiles.
So much for their running out of missiles from the financial times.
UAE records highest number of Iranian taxes early March. The United Arab Emirates defense
ministry has recorded its highest daily number of Iranian taxes, March 8th,
47 drones, 18 ballistic missiles, and four cruise missiles in the past 24 hours.
This is why I kept repeating over and over again that you can't out-yap
actual missiles striking targets, okay? It's kind of like with inflation, right?
Donald Trump can come out and be like, ah, we're gonna make it illegal to even
think trans thoughts or whatever the fuck he says, right? He's like, oh, we're gonna,
we're gonna make it so that if you watch Mrs. Del Fire, you're going to prison, okay?
But at the end of the day, if your wallet is hurting, people are still gonna notice that, okay?
It might work a little bit initially, okay? It might work for a, for a second. Some of the
the fucking dumbass might be like hell yeah we're fucking dunking on trans people let's go but like
what's gonna happen next week when he tries to roll out a new package right eventually you're
gonna start realizing that gas is fucking six dollars a gallon okay it's it's over at that point
no amount of culture war misdirections are going to make you forget how expensive it is to travel
to and from work.
Abaddon is a very strategic importance is located in the province of Krushestan where Arab Iranians live,
and it was once the province that Iraq first invaded during the war is the state where 80% of Iranian oil production occurs.
occurs. Yeah, I mean, I think all of this is gearing up for a land invasion. That's
what I think, right? I suspect that all of this is gearing up for a land invasion. Like
they're trying, like even the fact that they're hitting not missile depots now, but like armories
that they want to diminish Iran's conventional capabilities, right? It's conventional forces
and their capabilities of mounting a significant defense. Even the bridges are probably for
that purpose as well. So I think like the targets that they're striking obviously are still civilian
targets too, because you know, they're fucking assholes, let's be real. And they want to make
it as costly as possible, as painful as possible, but increasingly they're hitting targets that
make it seem like they're gearing up for a land invasion and they're trying to set it up.
Ironically, of course, the aspect of the ground invasion that is most significant from the Iranian
side will still be the drone launchers and they can't hit those at all. Like they can't,
And as far as we understand, according to the intelligence assessment, the new intelligence
assessment, they have not been able to successfully diminish their drone production facilities
or even their existing drones, right?
And if you can't do that, you're fucked.
All your ground force is going to be lasered with shothead drones over and over again.
So even if they try to take out their armories, their munitions depots and things like that,
Iran still is going to have tremendous capabilities of defense.
I thought they would invade next week, but invading on Easter would be anti-Christmas,
so I think Trump might do it.
Trump is so lucky that the markets are closed right now for Good Friday.
Yeah.
Israeli troops only go only American. Yeah, of course. What do you think? I mean, Israel does not have the capabilities of
Sending ground forces to Iran. Are you fucking kidding me?
They would just get in the way of the American troops anyway, they're they can only like when I when we say
The Israeli occupying force can only kill children like unarmed children
That's not a joke. That's just reality. They literally do not have the capabilities
They don't have the training. They don't have the know-how they don't understand the terrain
At least the American forces are like trained on this terrain specifically and have more
Real combat training as opposed to what the the reserve is do in Israel
Which is just stand in a fucking fixed guard post and berate and belittle and sometimes literally rape Palestine in civilians
Okay, that's all they know the fuck is that technical expertise gonna do for them when they're stuck in a fucking mountain side
Getting lasered by Iranian drones and missiles
And
They openly admit this too by the way they openly admit it
When was the last time Israel fought a war against an actual army never Israel's never fought a war against an actual army
All of the instances where they fought against conventional forces and not just paramilitary groups have come in the aftermath of Israel destroying the standing militaries like air capabilities, for example.
They always do a first strike, a tactical preemptive strike, and then they try to justify it by claiming that a strike was imminent, and that's why we had to do it. That's what they did with the Egyptian Air Force, for example.
Yeah.
So I guess that's the last time if you want to be, if you want to think of like a real
standing military.
Not exactly great for their modern capabilities.
Are you high? They absolutely fought real armies before.
Anyway, yeah, it's just children. That's that's what they're most efficient at murdering children.
And even then, for the record, even when they're murdering children, okay, they still do it
in the dumbest ways possible. Like, they still do it in the most evil. If there's not a non
evil way of murdering children, but like they still do it in the most cowardly way possible,
where their child murder spree starts with aerial bombing campaigns that reduce most
places in the rubble. Okay. And then they rolled their fucking armored tanks with no
infantry cover, which is something you're not supposed to do. Right? That's precisely
the reason why even Hamas and Palestinian Islamic jihad and their, their, their, you
or paramilitary forces, are capable of coming up to the ash cheeks of a god damn Mercava
tank and just dump an IED off the open lid of the fucking tank and turn the tank into
a tinfoil death trap.
Okay.
And their Mercava tanks already have trophy systems as well, which again, even Hamas,
Al-Qasam brigades have been able to successfully penetrate in spite of the trophy system by
doing two RPG rocket fires simultaneously.
So while the trophy system on the Merkava tank is focused on one of the rocket-propelled
grenades coming its way, the other one ends up hitting it successfully.
So all of their defenses still amount to nothing if you have enough grit, right?
That's the only thing they have.
That's the only thing they can do and they cannot do that to Iran anyway.
So they've just, they know that they don't have the capabilities.
So they have to fucking lean into America, demand America go and fight their battles
for them.
aircraft, that's a C-130 and H-130, and that's designed to refuel.
And if you look at what America's doing, even America's getting a shit pushed in.
What the fuck's Israel gonna do?
This is before there's ground troop presence, by the way.
Just wait.
If we go up the escalation ladder, and if Trump is actually dominant, which it seems
like he is, because it seems like they're actually setting the stage here, remember
the same problem still exists.
No supply line whatsoever to the front line.
No capabilities of establishing forward operating bases and then holding set forward operating
bases.
These are massive problems.
Where are you going to send the troops from Turkey?
I guess that's like, you know, you're going to force a country with 90 million people
another country with 90 million people in NATO country into, to, you know, utilizing
a soil to fucking launch attacks against Iran, a country that it has a fucking border with.
Even then, that's like one of the only places that you can actually enter.
The Kuwaiti bases are destroyed.
The UAE bases are destroyed.
The Saudi bases are getting attacked.
So you don't have a reliable base of operations.
You don't have a runway.
You don't have the capabilities of steadily sending ammunition and food to the troops
on the front line.
the fuck are you going to invade a country with 93 million people, especially when considering
that obviously a much less capable force with the Iraqi military tried to do this and they
at the very least had, you know, a direct direct land access and they still failed to,
they still failed after eight fucking years of, you know, trying to invade Iran and it didn't work.
You can't even use Iraq in this situation to potentially set up a base of operations
because you have to retreat your troops from Iraq.
You have to literally escape.
You had to beg.
America had to beg the Iraqi government and the Iraqi resistance forces for a day-long
ceasefire so they could fucking retreat their military assets.
They could literally escape Iraq.
Think about that.
So you don't have any fucking bases.
Where are you gonna fight from?
Even with this bombing campaign that we're conducting,
we have to literally string strato-tankers
one after the next in an effort to start the aerial campaigns
all the way in fucking European airspace.
That's unbelievable.
The the Air Force asks that we have in Saudi Arabia are getting fucking lasered
While they're stationary
How are you gonna conduct this like it just doesn't make any sense
Well helicopters like this these are probably the HH 60 helicopters that are being used by the Air Force's search and rescue capability
There's a a certain set in stage for a tactical nuke certainly feels like it. Okay. Let's say they deploy a tactical nuke
What does that do you've thought you've you've officially you've officially destroyed?
Mutual assured destruction like the the previous norms, right? You you breach the nuke boundary
What happens when Iran still keeps fucking lasering American military bases?
I think a lot of people need to understand like the nuke is not like a special weapon
Okay? It's not, it's not going to be able to like, it can kill a fuck ton of civilians,
right? But the nuke is not like a special solution here. Okay, you drop a fucking nuke.
what next? I think a lot of you have to also understand that even if even if America or
Israel dropped a nuke there is still a very high likelihood that Iran through its mosaic system
continues bombing Israel and the Gulf and will most likely destroy all oil and gas production
in the Gulf if that were to take place.
Rescue unit that's out of the first special operations wing that could possibly be involved
in this, and these aircraft are designed to extend the range of...
Plus, when you do that, Russia will bomb, Russia will nuke Ukraine.
Like, I think.
People have said I'm wrong for this, but if America were to deploy a nougat on Iran,
I think Russia nukes Ukraine, like, instantly.
Instantly.
Nuke is deployed from Russia on European soil the next fucking day.
helicopters so they can go further into the area that that we have here. So when
you look at the area that you see here, this is in southwestern Iran called
Kuzhestan province. This is the area where this is most likely to have occurred.
There is no way Russia is nuking Ukraine because it is a brothers war. Brother, I
don't, I don't think this is what brothers do, the brothers, okay? And they'll
It'll just nuke the westernmost point of Ukraine to force them to stand down.
Because unlike America in Iran, there are actual ground troops in Ukraine already.
They've invaded Ukraine militarily and quite successfully, if I might add, at least the
eastern part of Ukraine, for many years at this point.
I just don't think, I don't think that a nuke is being deployed, like, openly, let's say,
is there are some suspicions that like, there are many nukes that have been deployed already
that Israel has used them in the past, like with the Hasan Nasrallah assassination, that's
like one of the claims that I hear floating around a lot.
like one of the theories that nuclear warfare has already been happening. And there was
radiation after, like the Hassan-Azala assassination, but it's not. Some people say it's depleted
uranium. And some people say that the radiation detected was a mini-mini-nuke. Anyway.
And it is an area where they would have had the capability to refuel even in Iranian airspace.
So that could then extend their range into other parts of Iran.
I'm not saying it's real.
I'm just telling you that there is a theory floating around.
Necessary.
Put this into context for us.
Because even if it is an F-15 and not an F-35, there is still some symbolism to draw from
this, especially because just a few nights ago, you had the President of the United States
touting the U.S. military's ability to destroy Iran's offensive capability. We've heard the
Defense Secretary talking about dominion over the skies of Iran. This contradicts that to a degree.
To a degree it does, yeah. And so you see when you look at all of these strikes right here,
there's a considerable amount of effort that was put into this. So there's no doubt that
basically thousands of strike sorties were flown against Western Iran, Southern Iran,
and of course the area around Tehran. And when you look at the concentration right here of strikes in this area,
and then you look at the types of strikes that were done here in the western part of the country and in the central part of the country,
you can see that there are a lot of areas that have been hit. And of course the Iranians are doing the same thing over here in Israel as well.
But having said all of that, the key thing is this, no matter how often you strike at targets like this,
There are still capabilities that are existent within the Iranian arsenal.
CNN reporting has at least half of the missile forces that were believed to have existed before the war,
still in existence right now.
One of the reasons for that is the way that they can disperse these forces.
They have them on mobile launchers, they have them on trucks basically that go all over the place,
that are harder to detect, and plus they bury them underground.
So they have these hardened tunnels that are designed specifically to survive these kinds
of attacks.
Iran has been preparing for this kind of a war for a very long time, and we're seeing
the results of that preparation.
It doesn't mean that they're winning, but what it does mean is that they have the capability
to not only fight back, but they have the capability to down some of our aircraft if
we're not careful and the proper defenses aren't dispersed by the aircraft itself.
15 does have the capability to disperse some defensive chaff, for example, which is like
aluminum foil coming out of the aircraft. But be that as it may, they can do a lot of damage
to aircraft like that, especially if it's a heat seeking missile, as opposed to a radar missile.
Colonel Sgt. Clayton, I appreciate the expertise. What does he know? What share of global oil,
LNG, wheat, rice, fertilizer, shipments, transits the Babel Mandab Strait, which countries and
companies account for the highest transit volumes through the Strait, uh-oh.
This is the other choke point for those of you who don't know. We've covered it extensively as
well. It's the one that Yemen has access to, and Yemen has actually successfully implemented a block
aid over, if you recall. Two major choke points. One is controlled by Iran. The other one could,
just as easily relinquish control to the onsite law movement, a part of the axis of resistance.
So, you know, some to consider, some to think about. Yes, I have rotisserie chicken,
baking right now. Why are you heating up Kyle like a pastry? She's my rotisserie chicken.
What do you mean?
Also a lot coming for that Bob baby.
It's crazy how Gallabab was out of the picture for us and somehow it seems like a mastermind
makes you wonder how many capable Iranians are working in the shadows.
I mean, they are a very competent government. Let's, let's be real, you know, this is another
one of those issues that I have actually often brought up with Hasan Nasrallah. For example,
if you recall, what did I used to always say? One of the, one of the famous quotes that
people always use against me to be like, Oh, you're fucking, you're glazing Hasan Nasrallah.
glazing a terrace. Why? Because I said, don't look at the optics. You Americans see a guy
wearing a turban, wearing traditional garb with a big beard. And you just assume that
he's a barbarian. That's not the case. These are very well read, very competent, very intelligent
people, and also very successful in terms of their tactics as well, you know?
And it's very stupid to undermine them.
And yet every step of the way America has done so, both with Iran
and Israel has done so with Hezbollah as well.
It's just pure white supremacist hubris, it's pure white supremacist arrogance.
It is what it is.
Thanks, Andrew.
Thank you, Boris.
I want to bring in now retired U.S. Lieutenant General Mark Schwartz for more on this breaking
news as we continue to ask about the fate of that second crew member.
Thank you for being with us, and I do want to lean on your experience, given your command
of special forces.
What is happening right now in terms of trying to keep that crew member alive, that crew
remember remains unaccounted for.
And can you just kind of give us some insight
onto how difficult this is?
And I do want to bring up, again,
for viewers that image that CNN has that was released
by Iranian media of the damaged ejection seat.
CNN analysis does indicate that it is likely from that CF-15.
Paul, I'd be good to be with you.
So right now, what's happening back
at Central Command headquarters probably afford
a search and rescue headquarters where,
and you saw that HC-130 in those tableau helicopters
launched from.
You often use undermine when it would be more clear
to say underestimate.
No, I think undermine is fine and underestimate too,
but it's just not,
not, it's a lack of intelligence born out of
are our imperial hubris born out of our white supremacist attitudes.
They're continuing the-
It's the same principle behind just like pure racism when, you know, a white supremacist
will turn around and be like, oh, all Somalis are low IQ. Ironically enough, making a blanket
statement like that about an entire race or entire ethnicity of people is unironically
the most low IQ thing you can do.
planning process. There's a high potential that they have communication with the other isolated
crew member whether that's the weapons service officer or the systems officer excuse me or the
pilot. You know darkness is the friend of the isolated person and frankly the friend of the
US forces trying to recover this individual right now. So planning is ongoing right now. They do
you have communications with them, they're setting up, you know, an opportunity to
retrieve him and recover him back into US custody, if you will.
And if they don't have communications with them, they're using every intelligence resource.
One interesting thing is that literally every Iranian over the age of 16,
the government is at front line experiencing war.
They prepare for the exact contingency of American intervention for the past 47 years.
exactly every single, every single person that is in the command structure was like
a child soldier, even Sad Muhammad Marandi, uh, who is a professor, right?
He's a college professor.
Uh, he's like, basically a de facto spokesperson that goes in Western media
quite a bit to defend the Iranian government.
Like he's an American born US citizen.
Okay. From Virginia. And he literally flew back to Iran to defend Iran when he was like 14 or 15.
Like it's crazy. Child soldiers, disgusting brother. They were under attack. Like they were being invaded. Okay.
It's a little bit different, you know, I'm not justifying it. I'm not
Saying it was good. I'm just telling you what happened. Okay
most of these guys
most of these guys that are
You know well into their 60s at this point
we're straight up
1415 16 years old and and and fought in the Iran Iraq war and
and have direct frontline experience.
And then the younger IRGC forces, the younger forces that are still in the military, you know, they also have battle experience.
They have tremendous counterinsurgency experience because they fought in the region against ISIS.
So, it's a very, it's a decently equipped and very well experienced military force.
That they have available to include, you know, satellite imagery overhead, probably unmanned
collection capability to assist in locating him.
And then lastly, what I would say is there, they've certainly started the very quick debrief
of the pilot or weapons systems officer that they have successfully recovered to, you know,
understand, hey, did you see two shoots, you know, when you were.
Every few years, the United States has the opportunity to learn that an army of disinterested
burger addicted slobs cannot defeat an opponent that actually cares about what they're fighting
for, and every time the US chooses to ignore that lesson. Yeah. This Iranian no man wielding
his only ancestral hunting rifle, who has successfully shot down five Lucas drones and
an active vengeance, declaring through tears, this is retribution for the blood of the daughters
of Minab, revenge for the martyrs of the noble Shah, Shah, Jarray, Tayyip, bought against
America.
i mean it's it's
but look at that bro he's using a fucking
hunting rifle
is a blend of religious and patriotic forever. What hex is ironically larping as in some
ways. Yes.
Inti-com means revenge in Turkish as well.
So yeah, I mean, this isn't like, like this isn't a glaze or whatever, but yeah, when
they say like, come, we're waiting for you, this is kind of what they're talking about.
also why I thought it was funny when people were like they're gonna welcome us as liberators
again rejected and like it's there's one country where you will definitely not be welcomed
as fucking liberators is definitely Iran a country that exists as a sovereign state specifically
because they had a successful revolution against American intervention and an American back
puppet a Western back puppet you have an idea in proximity you know from a cardinal direction
where that other parachute landed relative to where you were at. So all that information is being
brought together to again facilitate a successful recovery. Well that certainly gives us some
great insight and against my apparently zero knowledge of what happens you actually say
that nighttime the fact that it's nightfall now in Iran might be a good thing. I do want to ask
you and it is a difficult thing for service members who have you know they're wondering about
their family members right now. There's survival training here right they are trained for being
in enemy territory. What does that involve?
It is exceptional training, so every crew member,
regardless of military service and special operations
forces, go through what's called SEAR Level C, which is the highest
level of training, and that's survival and evasion, the most important part
of where we're at right now with this isolated crew member, and then there's also
resistance and escape. So in the event you become captured by enemy
forces. They teach you how to deal with that captivity and also ways in which you can potentially
escape captivity. But as part of all that training, a lot of technical training in terms
of how to properly communicate, and then the actions that you should be taking in the event,
you know, you, in this case, say you had to eject and now you're in enemy territory.
Typically what they train you for is obviously find a place with good cover and concealment
initially, so move away from.
This is also kind of funny because like someone in the chat also brought it up.
But like, think about the panic that is set in for extracting one pilot.
One pilot.
What do you think happens when there is a full blown ground invasion?
Okay.
The IRGC is already commanded.
The RGC has already revealed that they are interested in taking prisoners of war.
Now, will they be able to do that? I don't know. I don't know what their capabilities are.
I don't know how successful they will be.
But what do you think that does to the American confidence?
What do you think that does to American force projection capabilities?
right? Not great. You know, your parachute and you know the potential site where incident
site where you came down and try to put as much distance between that and you know where
you're going to be able to successfully hold up until such time that you can establish
communication and ideally they can facilitate the recovery. I do want to go back to CNN's
reporting here though and many of us wonder if they have air superiority. This was a fighter
jet. Our intelligence are exclusive reporting. Your dog looks depressed buddy. I don't know how
to explain this to you. But that's just how she looks all the time because she has fat lumps
that squeeze her face down.
That's just her face.
I hate that there's a war and you won't watch the Good Lies video on the Med Bed Hotel.
I didn't even know that there was a video on the Med Bed Hotel, my favorite.
That again, Iran retains significant capability.
When you put all of that together, can you, you know, let us in on what you think may
have happened here in terms of how this jet was shot down?
From the wreckage, and I'm no wreckage expert, but it's hard to tell what brought the aircraft
down.
Obviously, when it hit, it broke up in many pieces.
It could have been anything from a surface-to-air missile fired by Iran, or it could have potentially
been some type of mechanical malfunction that caused the aircraft to go down.
Remember, air superiority does not mean that there is no threat.
That just means that we have the ability to predominantly fly over a mitigated risk over
enemy territory, but superiority does not mean that there is no threat out there.
And as has been reported, Iran still retains both air defense capability, certainly ballistic
missile and drone capability.
We see that playing out every day since this conflict started.
We'll leave it there for now. We'll continue to touch base with you as we continue to follow
this breaking story. I really appreciate your insights.
It's important to remember that during President Trump's prime time now, Tasnim is reporting
another shoot down just now. Another fighter jet has been found in the country, which is
probably an F16 or an F35. There's no way. I what? No, I can't, I can't tell what it
is from this. What the fuck? Those are old images. Yeah, it could be. They might be reusing.
I that's not reliable outlet national address on Wednesday trying to sell the launch ready to a skeptical American public
He not only listen the ways he said Iran's war effort have been degraded. He called them beaten as well
Tonight Iran's Navy is gone
their air forces in ruins
their leaders
most of them
terrorist
regime they led are now dead
their command and control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is being decimated as we speak.
We've beaten and completely decimated Iran. They are decimated both militarily and economically
in every other way.
I have an excellent group of reporters at the table with me, including Jasmine Wright,
who covers the White House for notice. The president has a penchant, shall we say, of
of, to put it mildly, exaggerating from time to time.
But now this is life and death.
This is the war.
This is military.
Is the president completely overstating the case
about how bad it is for Iran right now?
Well, I think that these things happen at this time.
What are your sources telling you?
Hopefully, you know, they'll find a second service member.
But-
You're saying Iran's Navy is gone.
Like he's like saying US soccer team is gone, bro.
It was never a thing.
No, because it's still also not true, like, it's not even true because they're still,
they're still getting tankers through with what remains of the Iranian Navy. The Iranian Navy
is not like a normal Navy. Like, they lasered a bunch of jet skis and shit. They have a couple
assets that are, you know, what you would assume is like, that looks like their own version of
destroyer, they have some catamarans, right? But most of their gear that they use, like the
GoFast bows that they have, that they use to deploy old school mines, or the ones that have
not dissimilar to the fucking K trucks that they have with their,
with their missile systems attached to it are, they're inside a tunnel systems.
So, the real Iranian Navy that exists is still very much in operation.
The IRGC's Navy is still very much in operation.
Those are the guys that are pushing the ships through and collecting a toll in the process.
So, this is not true.
When I talked to folks after the president's primetime speech on Wednesday, they told me,
and these are people who are allied with the president, they didn't say he did a good job,
they didn't say that they had a clear understanding.
They said the most important part of his speech is that he didn't say boots on the ground.
He didn't mention Cargailen.
He didn't mention, yes, he mentioned an escalation when it came to airstrikes, but he didn't
mention crossing a red line in which a lot of people have for him.
And so there is concern that perhaps the president wasn't explicitly told how bad some of this
could be.
There is a concern that the US could stay in Iran for longer.
This is my question as well, right?
How much of this is like people lying to Donald Trump and how much of this is just Donald
Trump lying on his own?
does Donald Trump understand how bad the situation is and is just choosing the lie to the public?
Or does Donald Trump genuinely not understand how bad the situation is because his handlers are
telling him a totally separate version of the events that are unfolding? Ultimately, it doesn't
matter, obviously, because, you know, what matters is what he's saying and what he's saying is
Unbelievably inconsistent and yet people are still eating it up. Does they're fucking cattle?
The USA 10 that crashed today was providing closer support. Yeah, we already covered it. Yeah
And that six week threshold that the president told from folks I've talked to outside and perhaps inside the administration
But fundamentally they say that this feels as though it is contained for now, but let's see how that of course evolves.
And we're seeing how much the American public is skeptical, downright opposes this war, and if we see more instances like this,
I can only imagine how public opinion will be shaped afterwards.
This is what things currently stand according to our new CNN poll that came out just a couple of days ago.
How Trump is handling situation in Iran.
Iranian journalists are saying that Americans tried to land for evac for the pilot, but they received too much fire and weren't able to land.
I can see that.
Approved just 33 percent of proof is there, 67 percent disapprove.
And then, as Jasmine mentioned, the possibility of sending US ground troops into Iran, if this leads to that, we don't know if it will lead to that.
Just 11 percent favor that.
That is a staggering, I mean, it's pretty clear with American public stands on this.
Well, certainly nobody wants to see ground troops. You don't get to 68% unless you're
That doesn't mean anything. We already know we already know that doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean anything if
Virtually everyone that's not in the fucking Magical is is is opposing bombing Iran as was the case has been the case, right?
There's a major disapproval overwhelming majorities of American public of the American public disapprove of bombing Iran
Okay?
It doesn't matter.
The base is strong, okay?
The MAGA base is almost 100% in support of Trump bombing Iran.
Ironically enough, they weren't in support of bombing Iran before Trump bombed Iran.
Once he did, those numbers shot up.
So even with a ground troop, a boost on the ground military invasion, the expectation
is the same.
MAGA will, before it happens, say, oh, this is a bridge too far, we don't want it.
And then once it happens, they'll say, oh my God, we love it.
It's the best thing that's ever happened.
The other side of the story is that the disapproval of these actions don't mean anything.
It's very obvious, I hope, for everyone who's capable of seeing exactly what's going on,
that American support for American foreign policy is negligible.
It's just not a part of the equation at all until we start intercepting weapons transfers,
until we start doing work stoppages, until we actually are capable of delivering a stronger
message.
None of this is going to be consequential.
It's not a factor in the equation at all.
The American government does not care about our opinions.
We have to make them care, but for the time being, you know, protests are not even happening,
right?
And, and even if they were, who knows how successful they would be.
Getting that across all parties.
Yeah.
There is one aspect that would be meaningful, by the way.
And that is the legislative body.
If the Democrats were to actually start using legislative pressure against the Trump administration,
start trying to get these Republicans on the fucking record in defense of these actions,
then there could be some movement, right?
That would also expand on the public pressure as well.
the Democrats are not interested in doing that at all. That's it. And I think a big
part of the reason why they're not interested in doing anything at all is because this is
a win-win for them. It's a win first and foremost because they're also super pro-Israel, super
Israel first. And this is, you know, something that Israel has desired for many, many decades
And Trump is finally, uh, finally doing it.
He's crazy enough to, to lean into, uh, Israel's advice.
So they like that.
And, and they doubly like it because it's Trump that will inevitably be held
responsible for it.
They get to fame, moral superiority.
Well, simultaneously watching Trump do something that they also are on board with.
That's it Republicans just to add to that to your point Republicans to the 23% just 23% of Republicans
favor sending in US ground troops. So obviously ground troops will cross a sort of political line
for Trump that'll be very difficult for him to come back from but you know the war can be unpopular
the country can as our polls shows cannot have a clear path do not believe that President Trump
as a clear path on how to get out of this.
And yet, there can still be a lot of military success
at damaging Iran's capabilities.
Now our reporting here at CNN obviously shows
that doesn't mean damaging it 100%.
They're obviously suggesting that.
But clearly that's not the case.
Look at today's events.
I mean, it is not the case,
nor is it the case in any war that I can think of
where 100% completely annihilating any possible threat
or capability from the enemy.
That's not reality.
And we're seeing that play out today that that's not reality.
That doesn't diminish in any way the unbelievable military
success that Trump and Hexeth like to tout and rightfully
so.
It just doesn't simplify, though, the complicated nature
that the US is not the only one with a vote here
on how this plays out.
Yeah, and why not?
Trump is Trump.
We know how he talks.
But why not do it sort of what David is suggesting here?
give a more nuanced picture to the American public about how complicated this is. Yes,
the American military operation so far has been successful in this way, in this way,
in this way. But we have enormous challenges on X, on Y, and Z, and there are lots of challenges
ahead level with the American public and tell American voters what to expect. Why can't
he do that?
I mean, you've got the question. Trump is Trump. He's not a new ounce guy. He's not
a new ounce guy.
You know, there's so many Americans opposed it probably because a lot of people just don't believe what he's saying.
Perhaps no, they're they're wildly skeptical to say that, at least, and I go back to David's David's point.
There can be enormous military successes and still an incident like this.
There have been thousands of sorties by American and Israeli pilots.
Yeah, it's been enormously successful in degrading the enemy's capabilities of educating schoolgirls.
enormously successful in degrading the enemy's capabilities of using civilian infrastructure
like bridges, degrading the enemy's capabilities of having access to clean running water because
now it's toxic because we rained oil on it.
The only part, the only military objective here is to degrade Iran's missile launching
capabilities.
And we know that that hasn't happened, okay?
Or at least hasn't happened to a fucking significant degree.
So who gives a shit?
Yeah, we're the best at fucking blowing up schools, man.
Thank you.
I mean, incredible stuff.
I love this analysis from CNN, by the way.
U.S. Air Force plane has crashed in the Middle East, unnamed U.S. officials telling the New
York Times.
Yeah, we've degraded our enemy's capabilities of making medicine.
An A-10 war-tog aircraft or tank killer reportedly went down in the Persian Gulf around the same
time as the F-15 crashed over Iran.
Mark Stone is in Washington with these emerging details.
Yeah, this is a report from a US official talking to the New York Times, and I should
speak about it.
We're blowing up jet skis.
They're blowing up an A-10 warthog, okay?
Think.
It is curious that we have nothing official from the White House, from the Pentagon, or
indeed from cent come on any of the incidents that have occurred over the
course of the past 24 12 hours or so which is I have to say very very
striking in Iranians literally keep their wait what don't Iran is literally
keep their daughters out of school correct me if I'm wrong but women have
no rights in Iran right chatter you are unbelievably wrong and it's kind of
funny that you how wrong you are Iran actually has a higher literacy rate than
the United States of America. Iran has a higher degree attainment for women. Actually, that's
not true. It might be just for STEM, but yes, for women, that's not what I asked. Don't
Iranians literally keep their daughters out of school? No, brother. They don't. Not only
do they not keep them out of school, actually, they go to school, they go to college. They
have a higher percentage of women in STEM than we do in the STEM field. It's the exact
opposite. So I'm answering the question. You are making the assumption that Iran operates
like the Taliban or something. I guess I got propaganda. Yeah, of course. The best take
on this is from that one Iranian guy. People mistake Iran for operating in a similar way
to the Taliban where they don't want women to be educated. That's not the case. The Iranian
government wants women to be educated. They just want them to wear a hijab. They want
the hijabies to be making the missile systems. They have these arbitrary restrictions and
they're ridiculous and it actually causes quite a lot of friction in regular Iranian society and
there's tremendous pushback towards it and not only is there a tremendous pushback but
it actually creates a national security problem for the IRGC for the Iranian government in general
but uh the idea that they're not like they're doing woke sharia okay that's the best way to put it
they are unironically are doing woke sharia
obviously those restrictions are as far as I understand nonexistent
at least from the videos that we see all the time
um
but you know
Yeah, they're doing walk 3.0.
The most recent incident that you're referring to here,
reported by the New York Times,
involves an A-10 tank buster.
This is a very old plane with a single crew member,
a pilot only, that was brought into this conflict
by the US military as an attempt to deal
with the problem on the Straits of Hormuz.
The tank buster is a, the A-10 is a much slower aircraft
than, for example, an F-15 that also crashed today.
It is an aircraft that is very good by definition of its name, taking out tanks, that's what
it used to be able to do, and they're using it in the Straits of Hormuz to try and take
out Iranian fastboats that are operating there, laying mines potentially and generally causing
great difficulty for the commercial ships trying to pass through the straits.
So there are many A-10 tankbusters being used around the Strait of Hormuz at the moment,
and one of them has apparently been hit and has crashed. The pilot has been rescued or
is safe, that much not clear. But it is the latest development in what has clearly been
a very difficult day for the U.S. military. The earlier incident involving the F-15 fighter
jet was in a different part of Iran, further north up the Persian Gulf near the borders
with both Iraq and Kuwait. That plane was hit. We know that because U.S. officials speaking
anonymously for now have confirmed that much. And the images you're looking at here are
part of the rescue operation that was mounted very quickly, a very dangerous rescue operation
involving helicopters, blackhawk helicopters, and transport aircraft as well.
an attempt to try and rescue the two pilots from the F-15. Now, one of those pilots or
one of the crew.
Are you saying women are okay in Iran? No. Did I say that? Like, there's a lot of social
repression that still very much exists, and there's clearly a lot of, there's clearly
a lot of pushback. But that chatter thinks that women are not educated in Iran, and it's
something that I have to correct, especially because we're in the United States of America
and there is a higher percentage of women in STEM in Iran than there is in the United
States of America.
It's a totally ridiculous statement to make.
exceptionally ridiculous
to to make a statement as an american citizen
members i should say has been rescued he is now
with the u.s. military receiving medical care
the whereabouts of the other at crew member
are at the moment uh... unknown
uh... so and there are other other reports which is pink playing at this
point is not the conversation at this point doesn't give america right the
bomb for this reason. I mean, yeah, that's obviously the, the most ridiculous part of
this conversation is the idea that like women are being oppressed, so we have to kill them.
Okay, that's fucking insane. That has never been, that's never been a convincing message
for me or anyone that like thinks a little bit deeper about this argument, right? Oh,
they're bad to the gays. Okay, so we should kill them with our bombs instead. Got it.
seems that seems like the successful method here it obviously was stupid when Israel was claiming
this as well with Hamas they're like oh Hamas are throwing gays off the roof not even true
but even if it was how the fuck are you liberating the gay Palestinians by killing them that doesn't
make any sense not confirming at the moment involving other aircraft or helicopters as well
So there's a lot going on. And this comes, of course, after President Trump has said repeatedly
that the war is one or almost one, that America has complete air superiority in the skies above
Iran. Clearly that is not the case. And the potential propaganda win for the Iranians,
if they were to capture any U.S. service members, would be absolutely huge. So a very ominous day
for the U.S. military and it is striking that we have had nothing at all from the U.S. president.
Mark Stone reporting there from Washington. An American fighter jet has been shot down over
Iran according to U.S. officials sparking a major search and rescue operation inside the country.
What's believed to be an F-15 strike eagle went down in the southwest of Iran. One crew member
was rescued by U.S. forces according to CBS News but the fate of the other person on board remains
unknown. Iranian state television has been showing pictures of what it says is
debris from the jet and has broadcast an offer of a reward for anyone who captures
a downed US crew member alive. President Trump has been briefed on the
situation. Tonight there are reports that a second jet, an A-10 Warthog, crashed
after coming under fire while assisting in the first rescue. That pilot ejected
to safety. Our first report tonight is from Tom Bateman in Washington.
U.S. search helicopters prowl the skies over southern Iran, now in a deadly race to find
America's missing airman.
Iranian state TV showing pictures of what it says is the wreckage of the downed U.S. fighter
plane. The Iranians claim it was shot down by an air defense system as it flew over a
a rugged province in southwestern Iran.
I could totally see events playing out where if the Iranians are, if the Iranians actually
extract the air crew and bring them to like a private facility to keep them as a prisoner
of war, I could totally see an accidental fire, an accidental bombing campaign gone awry
that ends up killing the American pilot in the hands of the Israeli Air Force.
I could totally see events unfolding in that way, by the way, just letting you know.
still has, you know, surveillance capabilities inside of Iran. They figure out exactly where
the pilot is kept, and they still apply the Hannibal Doctrine to the American pilot.
Pictures on social media purport to show one of the two ejector seats. These images are
as yet unverified, but appear to be consistent with parts of an F-15 fighter jet.
officials say they launched a combat rescue mission under fire, finding one of the F-15
crew, its pilot. But the recovery helicopter was hit by gunfire, injuring crew members.
These pictures appear to show men in a field opening fire on American Pavehawk helicopters
used in search operations. We verify this footage was filmed today.
Another plane involved was also hit, an A-10 warthog like this.
Its pilot ejected over the Gulf and was rescued.
Meanwhile, Iranian government messages have been broadcast, calling on residents to join
a hunt for the pilots, offering a bounty for their capture.
This is the F-15E Strike Eagle, one of America's most advanced fighter planes.
It's used for bombing raids and to shoot down drones.
the pilot as a Weapons Systems Officer. Shown here at RAF Lakinheath in Suffolk, Iran's
military claims the downed plane was from the Lakinheath Squadron, but the BBC has not
confirmed this. This former F-15 pilot says the missing crew member will have been equipped
for survival. Once they're on the ground there, what's going to be going through their minds?
First thing is, how do I get myself away from where it is that I am and then how do I make
contact with friendly forces to get myself...
Yeah, the Iran national state television channel did a broadcast where they said that there
was a bounty for whoever, whichever civilian finds the pilot or the weapons officer and
delivers the pilot alive to the police or the military.
into friendly hands.
The White House says President Trump has been briefed.
He said nothing publicly about the rescue operation, posting only on social media.
There was also an Iranian football star who said he would give his medals that he's won
over his career to whoever actually finds a pilot about Iran.
Keep the oil, anyone?
U.S. Central Command yesterday released pictures of what it called its undeniable progress,
saying Iran's air defense systems had been largely destroyed.
Also, I guess Iranian media,
Taznam News has posted the new photos.
Those were real urgent exclusive Iran likely shot down
another American Zionist fighter jet tonight.
Evidence received by Taznam News Agency indicates
that Iran may have shot down another American Zionist
enemy fighter jet.
Images of the remaining parts of the aircraft obtained
by a Taznam reporter show this.
Taznam's military correspondent says,
given that only one engine exhaust is visible in the image,
be speculated that this is possibly a fighter jet that was an F-16 or F-35, although the
stronger guess is that it's an F-16. A few hours ago, several fighter jets flew over
some cities in the country, including Tehran, when they were surprised by heavy defensive
fire from the armed forces. Some of these fighters attempted to escape the defensive
by dropping flares, but evidence suggests that one of these fighters was probably shot
down. This has not yet been officially confirmed. I mean, I guess they haven't officially confirmed
yet. I don't know. Again, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. This is still not confirmation
enough.
So we don't know.
Information about a US landing attempt near Yassir City in Korkiliye and Boyar Ahmad province,
Western Iran, aimed at searching for the pilots, the forces are still searching in a difficult
mission made harder by the geography and the presence of Iranian forces.
So I guess they're still trying to do a search and rescue operation.
But it seems to be, it seems not to be going too well.
Do you think this will be covered for a year in in search mission?
No.
I mean, I don't know, I just, I don't think that that is a real thing.
First of all, the area that you're talking about is far away.
And there would be so much activity.
There would be far more assets moving in a way that is impossible to hide if they were
to conduct that uranium extraction mission.
Because remember, they need excavators.
They need to drop excavators on Iranian soil to be able to dig into the facility.
She's not, like, doing that in the cover of night is going to be impossible.
I assume there's probably a lot more attention directed at that facility regardless by the Iranian military anyway.
So, I just don't see that happening.
This claims to have free reign over Iran's skies will ring hollow with the first known
loss of a manned US aircraft there since the start of the war and a perilous.
I mean, chatters.
Think about it this way.
It's now been like what, 12 hours?
12 hours to try and and conduct a successful search and rescue operation on Iranian soil
for two pilots. Okay, more than 12 hours. It's been like 16.
16 hours. They've been able to successfully retrieve one of the two pilots.
Think about how difficult that is. Now imagine a mission that is a hundred times more difficult.
Search behind Iranian lines. The fate of the missing crew member could determine the direction
of this conflict already unpopular with Americans overseen by a leader looking for ways to end
it.
And Tom joins us from Washington. So what is the latest tonight where you are, Tom?
Well, Jane, we are told that President Trump's national security team has been gathered in
the West Wing of the White House all day, providing him updates on that search and rescue
operation as you've been hearing taking place under fire with one of the crew of the F-15
still unaccounted for. Now, Mr. Trump has said nothing specifically about the operation
itself, but he's done two very brief newspaper interviews here in Washington in the last
hour or so, first saying he wouldn't comment on the operation, but then asked if it would
affect negotiations. He said no to that question. He was also asked about what he would do,
what his response would be, if that airman was harmed. And he said simply that he hoped
that wasn't going to happen. At the same time, we hear that the Islamic Revolution Card
has sealed off a huge area there and that rugged terrain around southwestern
Iran where they've been using troops and locals to search for the missing person
but so far no sign of them and so you now have a race by two deadly adversaries
for a missing American military service member and so far no word about their
condition. Tom thank you. I think the the statement that Trump made that is far
more revealing is the one that he made to NBC shooting down the American fighter jet
over Iran will not affect the negotiations with Tehran at all. This is war. We are at
war. Interesting admission that this is war from Donald Trump and not just simply a special
military operation, Putin style, but also that gives the game away. You are not bargaining
from a position, from an advantageous position at all. Because if you were bargaining from
advantageous position. One, you wouldn't demand a 48-hour ceasefire, which Iran said no to.
And two, you'd be a lot more angry, right? You'd be like,
this is ridiculous. We're going to fucking destroy you. We're going to destroy you extra hard.
Combatment in Washington. Well, meanwhile, Iran has continued to strike Israel and its Gulf
neighbors. In Kuwait, an Iranian drone strike caused a fire at the Mina-Alamadi oil refinery.
The third time that has been hit. A power and water desalination plant was also damaged.
Israel's military said it had carried out more than 70 strikes in western and central Iran.
In the capital Tehran, a university science research facility was struck.
Well, our correspondent, Lorna Gordon, is...
Maybe Iran already found them and they're just drawing out search and rescue missions.
If that was the case they would already be getting kills. If they were trying to lead,
if they were trying to lead the search and rescue missions into an ambush you would already know
about it, you would hear about it because they would have already successfully implemented,
successfully pulled off the ambush missions.
Following events from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates launder yet more strikes across the Gulf.
Yes, Jane, the conflict between the U.S., Israel and Iran is approaching its sixth week.
And the states here in the Gulf, Iran's neighbors, are on the front line of what Iran calls retaliatory
attacks. They're occurring almost daily. And the damage is mounting, as you say, that
refinery Kuwait attacked for a third time. A desalination plant damaged as well. In Abu
Dabbi, what's described as significant damage has occurred to the natural gas
processing facility. There one person died as well when falling debris started
fires at the plant. It's also emerged today that one of the biggest aluminium
complexes in the world, which is an Abu Dhabi, could take up to 12 months to
restart after it was damaged last month in an attack. Abu Dhabi authorities, the military
here, say that over the last 24 hours they've engaged with around 50 missiles, around 20
missiles and 50 drones. That is the highest figure in many weeks. These attacks keep coming
and they keep coming daily.
It's day 35 of the Iran War. We're on the ground in Jerusalem. Let's take you through
what's been happening across the region today.
US officials have confirmed that Iran has shot down a US fighter jet and that one of
its two crew members has been rescued.
The search is ongoing for the other.
It's Good Friday and Jerusalem's old city is empty after Christian leaders were asked
to cancel the traditional procession for safety reasons.
The Israeli military's banned gatherings of more than 50 people in case of mass casualties
in the event of missile strikes.
Elsewhere in Israel and the coastal city of Haifa,
vehicles were engulfed in flames after an Iranian strike
containing cluster munitions.
A 79-year-old man is in hospital with light injuries
after being hit by debris.
An Iranian missile also struck Petak Tikfa east of Tel Aviv,
and miraculously, no one was hurt.
In Iran, the cities of Isfahan and Tehran
have been targeted but with no injuries reported.
A video shared by the Iranian Red Crescent
shows an aid warehouse in Boucher province severely damaged after it was hit by an airstrike.
They say it contained medical supplies, a bus and a rescue vehicle.
Shortly after the carriage bridge was damaged, the U.S. president put out a message to Iran
on Truth Social, stating that the U.S. hasn't even started destroying what's left in Iran.
Bridges next, then electric power plants. New regime leadership knows what has to be
done in stealing quite a bit of confidence in everybody with statements like that.
Iran fired two ways and missiles towards the south, first towards Bersheba and Demona,
then towards Arad and the Dead Sea, at least one confirmed impact. Channel 12 initial reported
damage to the building in the Negev. MDA teams have gone out to search the scene. Remember,
Negev is where the Israeli air base is, and there's not a lot of information on obviously
confirmed strikes. You can't even, you can barely confirm impacts if you can at all,
and we certainly do not know what they're actually striking or how successful those strikes have been
because Israel has military censors.
Hada shot Besman announces a new security incident with no details, has Bullo announced a raid on

Oh, yeah, we, I already covered this, but yeah, Kaloa, speaker of the parliament,
said, what share of global oil, LNG, wheat, rice, and fertilizer shipments transits the
Bob L. Mondev Strait, which countries and companies account for the highest transit
volumes to the Shrait. This is him signaling, Speaker of the Parliament, the Islamic Republic
of Iran's Parliament, signaling that the Yemenis, the onslaught of movement might be getting
more active and potentially lean into a closure of the Red Sea as well.
So there's also that.
Shal Ben-Envraim, academic LA, former Zionist turned anti-Zionist, writes,
just had a long talk with the former Israeli Air Force commander on why
Iran is managing to shoot down these US planes.
He told me that since the 12-day war, Iran has rethought his entire system
after seeing how easily it was bombed.
The new system is far better and more resilient.
And Israeli pilots have noticed how difficult it is to operate there now.
Each of Iran's 31 zones now has the authority to operate independently, if central command
is cut off, allowing local commanders to launch missiles and engage aircraft without
warning, or without waiting for orders from Tehran.
That was a major problem for them in the past.
Recognizing that fixed sites are easily destroyed, Iran moved many of its restored air defenses
in the missile cities, deeply buried underground tunnels and rugged coastal terrain that service
cover for mobile launchers, these targets are now hardened.
This traditional radar gives away systems location.
Iran has leaned into passive infrared heat-seeking sensors and new software algorithms that
can track jets without emitting detectable signals.
Iran has increased reliance on mobile, medium-range surface-air missile systems.
Its mobility allows shooting-scoot tactics that make it difficult to target with pre-planned
airstrikes.
Iran has moved away from Russian missiles to its own Bavar 373, which appears to be superior
to the S-300 and possibly to the S-400 too.
Upgrades include increased autonomy for launchers, allowing them to operate even if centralized
command centers are destroyed.
They use the new MAGIT system, which relies on passive infrared detection rather than
radar.
Because it doesn't emit radar signals, it is significantly harder for aircraft to detect
before a missile is launched.
Most importantly, he confirmed to me that Iran is using HQ-9B, the best long-range
surface-to-air missile systems China has to offer.
It is both active radar homing and a passive infrared seeker.
This makes it harder for aircraft to spoof the missile with standard electronic countermeasures
and impossible and improves its ability to track stealth.
It seems to be exceeding expectations.
He told me the days when flying over Iran was a walk in the park or over.
In some, the new tactics and a switch from Russian technology to Iranian and Chinese
technology have turned Iranian airspace into a contested space.
Air superiority there is gone.
The Israeli Air Force and US Air Force will have to adapt accordingly or lose more aircraft.
Russian tech is so shit. I'm out. Don't even get me fucking started. Okay. I mean, Russian
tech is, uh, I wouldn't say Russian tech is shit necessarily, but it's just you, you
need way more mobility, which obviously the S three hundreds and the S four hundreds
do not offer. Okay? It's just a, it's a different purpose.
They had the S 300s. Israel, in the beginning of the 12-day war, was able to dismantle them,
if you recall. Because S 300s, S 400s, they provide massive coverage, but they're also
more fixed as opposed to these mobile systems that they're implementing. They're stationary.
They're not fixed, but they're hard to maneuver around. So they're open targets for what Israel
did in the 12-day war, in the beginning of the 12-day war, where they had a drone manufacturing
facility inside of Iranian soil. And very quickly, as soon as the S-300s were rolled
out in order to provide maximum coverage and maximum air defenses, they were able to destroy
them with drones.
They did that before the opening salvo and then shortly thereafter, when their anti-air
systems were diminished by surprise, okay?
really Air Force was able to come in and blow up the rest of them.
Initial documentation of the impact site. It appears to be a secure facility in the
industrial zone. You're on Fox News again. What the fuck?
It is pretty funny that while this is happening, Fox News is covering me as though I'm the
most significant thing to talk about. Like it's pretty funny. But winners and losers
of the week what is this box news just mentioned you law I missed it can you
give me the you know you can cheer for whoever you want in the final four you
gotta they put dr. Jihad someone send me the the rewindable box news video that's
like a reshrimming rebroadcasting on YouTube so we can actually see what they
said. Dr. Dr. Jihad, Dr. Jihad. Dems and Republicans are a
uniparty and shit like this that makes it obvious. Yeah.
I'll take it, though. It's pretty funny. I think it kind of
exposes a lot of Democrats, not all of the Democrats, obviously
there's plenty of Democrats who are out there being like, shut
to fuck up, right? But it does show you what the motivations are for many centrist Democrats
and right-wing Democrats in general, that they are totally in line with, many of them
are former Republicans anyway, totally in line with current Republicans, and totally
in line with defending the interests of current Republicans. They would rather squeeze out
their left flank.
One message to your ops today.
Centres are mad today.
Yeah, that's true.
It's true.
They called you anti-Semitic and it didn't work.
Now you're evil and a fake Democrat.
Yeah.
This fucking prime time in the Midwest and Fox is the size of shit on you on the old
TV dinner eating more on the corn belt. Yeah. Thank you. The Macias. Lots of new world.
This is saying constitution concerns about escalation problem. Ever. I just there are
allies saying they need to get in the game here. Yeah, I mean, absolutely. I think that
the oil is a global market and I think that everyone is suffering this mission without
being notified or each letter increased and coming.
The United States is going to nine, then we will Susan.
They're talking about opening the state of hormones and then literally fucking
turning around job situation.
Now, 10.
In walking in to finish watching basketball and marchers are all the Democrats
who think that they need to buddy up with his son, Piker, who's a misogynist
anti-thematic person.
The Democrats do not need a 10.
You're on Fox news, lady.
a misogynist anti a misogynist anti-semitic person you're on Fox News
You're on Fox News. What are you saying?
What is this woke shit that big for him to be in it?
All right, Mark winner than loser. Oh
That's it. That was that was that was the only mention. Okay. That's funny
Where are they only where are they getting the massage you think from brother? It's the same as the anti-semitism shit
It's literally just clips out of fucking context
What do you mean? It's a genuinely it's the same thing. I'm not fucking anti-semitic either
Like it's just flinging it's just flinging shit at a wall. See what sticks that's all it is
It's especially funny to do this though on Fox News is it it adds insult to injury. It's like
more ironic in my opinion. What is this internet celebrity spotted at San Francisco corner store.
Wait, what the fuck prominent tuition or left wing political commentary or
Sampagra was spotted the beloved key food market liquor store in San Francisco photos on social media show
What the hell?
That's pretty funny
No, this is
Omar Mansouri and his dog major. He also now has a cat called Gaza
And I had the honor of meeting them. This is like a normal corner store. San Francisco
is very communal. They have a very tight knit community in many places. And this is one
of those cultural landmarks that has a lot of significance.
But, yeah, that's why you were at the corners or anti-Semiticly, okay.
Yeah, this was, Tim Miller had like a take, I think that was pretty good, surprisingly.
was a longer one I think that another outlet actually posted because there's like a, where
is it? There's like a, let me see if I can find it. I remember, let me see. So the major
discourse on the, the, uh, never Trump Republican side of, of the conversation is, uh, is actually
a heating up still. Uh, as you guys know, for the last two weeks at this point, a lot
of the right wing forces and pro-Israel forces have, uh, been running around, uh, and, and
smearing me, disparaging me, uh, attacking me endlessly, relentlessly, calling me an anti-Semite
and and numerous other things and it's it's because it's had very limited
success as a matter of fact it hasn't had any success at all all it has done is
made people on that side of the equation more insane and more hysterical while
Also, simultaneously, I think it's boosted my profile a lot.
It's also helped some of the campaigns
that I'm associated with get more media coverage,
in general, something that they wanted to get.
Tim Miller had a long analysis on this, right?
But this, these five minutes and 40 seconds are pretty good.
Other members ostensibly of the anti-Trump coalition have tried to turn him
into a litmus test and say that people can't be seen with them.
You know, it can't be seen with them.
And like, I find that to be insane for a number of reasons.
Number one, I think the timing on that is awful.
Okay.
All of our energy right now, if you are for liberal democracy, if you're against
Trump, if you think what's going on in this country is bad right now, all of our
energy should be laser focused on undermining this regime and bringing in more people who are
potentially opponents of the regime and adding them to our numbers, right? There's
strength in numbers, whether that be at the No Kings protests, whether that be at the
midterms this coming year, whether that be in 2028, like we need as many people as possible to
brush back this threat that I believe seriously is an existential threat to the country. That's me.
Okay. And so right now in this moment, when Donald Trump is...
I do agree on that, by the way. I definitely, you know...
In the entire world headlong into an energy crisis where he's like,
engaging in a lawless war that he gave a nonsense speech about last night,
that it was basically incomprehensible. We don't even know what the objective is.
Like when they are killing people in the streets of Minneapolis,
Like this is not the moment to fucking nitpick some streamer who also opposes us.
It's just not, all right? And on top of that, it's particularly not the moment to nitpick a streamer
that reaches an audience of people that the Democrats are struggling with and that right
now is a particularly ripe moment to add them. People that are opposed to this war,
people that are upset about Israel's prosecution of the war in Gaza, people that are upset about
Israel's influence on on our involvement in this war in Iran. People that are upset at the
mostly Republican, let's be honest, but somewhat bipartisan, like military industrial complex
that has gotten us into war after war. I do a lot of people out there that are against that. I'm
about to play some videos of some of them who were for Trump, who are and some of those are
right-wing people, but some of those are far-left people who got hoodwinked. We can be honest,
they got hoodwinked by Jiltstein and by a bunch of far-left streamers and a bunch of people
that convinced him that Kamala was gonna get us into a war when really Trump was. We all saw
that clearly. We can pat ourselves in the back, but right now, and I mean, I also said that for
the record, like there was no, there was no point where I ever leaned into Trump is gonna be the
the peace candidate for the record. Just, you know, he doesn't know that probably. Um,
there is a lot of, uh, there are a lot of people who will be like, Oh, uh, Hasan is
like a big Jill Stein advocate in general. I mean, I, I am not as, uh, aggressive in,
um, opposing third party unconditionally. I'm not one of those guys at all. I, I'm a firm
and committed believer that you have to earn people's votes, right? Those votes are not
a given. The Democrats need to earn those votes. Jill Stein is a separate story. I mean, I have
actually obviously criticized Jill Stein quite a bit, but regardless, regardless, that's not even
like, you know, that's not even my calculation at all. I'm not like anti third party in general.
people. Having said that, I did openly explain to people and did tell the Democrats who would
listen that they have to not present themselves as pro-war.
This moment when we're in this war, when people are feeling economic pain, this needs to be
the moment to say, come on in to everybody, particularly people that are, that are ranging
from skeptical to hostile of this war and of actions in the Middle East.
This is the moment for that.
And Hassan talks to some of those people.
So to pick this moment, a month into the war.
I mean, this is basically an admission, not of defeat necessarily, but an admission of
like, how much the discourse has changed. Like, Tim Miller, for all of our disagreements,
understands that the overwhelming majority of the American population is anti-Israel. Okay?
He understands that there's no way to win those people back with a pro-Israel message.
Okay? And he recognizes that I'm being used as like a beacon to tell everybody, 2024 style,
that this kind of rhetoric is unacceptable. Okay? Madaglacius has also recognized this
reality as well. Plenty of liberals who don't want Trump or a Trump-style candidate to win again,
and have recognized that reality and they're not behaving in this fucking hysterical manner.
However, there are a lot of people, I wouldn't say they're sizable, this is not a sizable
force at all, but there's a lot of them on Twitter and a lot of them with at least like
some kind of influence within the ranks of the Democratic Party and the consultant side
in the lobbying arm that think that as long as they yell a lot, they yell at candidates,
They can try to get candidates, they can scare candidates into disassociating with someone
like myself and also the base of support that I represent.
It's not intelligent for two reasons.
Number one, I'm not singularly responsible for the attitude shift on Israel, right?
It's very flattering that they think I have this capability.
I'm just one person.
So even if you were to successfully decouple Democrats by force through bullying from associating
with me, that resentment is still going to exist in the base, right?
And secondly, they don't understand how much more popular anti-Israel sentiment is than
the pro-Israel sentiment that they're demonstrating, right?
they don't recognize it. And they, I think, legitimately believe that all this anti-Israel
sentiment is coming from a place of anti-Semitism. It's totally hysterical. For the longest time,
I used to assume that it came from this cynicism, right? That a lot of these people say stuff
like that. A lot of these people say, oh, you're being anti-Semitic because you're
questioning Israel or criticizing Israel because they know that they can't really argue on
the basis of what Israel is doing and Israel's conduct.
However, I do legitimately believe that there are some people who are just hysterical.
I think there are a lot of people who have deluded themselves in a thinking genuinely
people who hate Israel, don't hate Israel for good reasons or valid reasons, but they
hate Israel because they're anti-Semitic. Okay? Obviously, Tim Miller understands that
that's not the case. He might not even agree entirely with my commentary on this issue,
But it's an undeniable force.
Dude, Sarah Longwell from the Bullwark fuckin' hates you, dude.
I don't care.
These are, again, never Trump Republicans.
It doesn't matter.
They're a negligible base, like they're not, they don't constitute a significant part of
the Democratic Party's base.
So Democrats themselves who hyper focus on never Trump Republicans as though this is
like a reliable vehicle for winning elections are simply diluting themselves. It's just like
no disrespect, but never Trump Republicans were never like a massive constituency anyway
in the last couple of elections or in the last two elections.
And there's certainly nowhere near the sizeable force that is anti Zionists.
And not just in the base of the Democratic Party, and it's a base of voter support, but
just in the broader electorate, right?
Within the broader electorate, there are far more, there are far larger numbers of people
who are anti-Israel than people who are skeptical of Trump, okay?
But and are willing to vote for the Democrats.
to pick this fight is crazy.
It's fucking crazy.
And if you are a centrist,
and I have some sympathies to that, obviously,
if you're a moderate and you want to pick a fight
with the left wing of the Democratic Party,
let me tell you, there's a lot of potential options there.
I mean, John would love it.
And I were talking about this this week
about the mismanagement of California.
They're trying to build a monorail there
that I didn't break in ground until 2041.
You know, we can go down the list.
There are a bunch of things to be American people
like the Democrats right now and if you want to fight with the left of the party from center again
and this I don't think would be the moment to do that but if you wanted to try to you know move
the party yeah he's literally saying like dude if you're gonna shit on the left like there's
better things to do it over this is not one of those things center on something on an issue
there are a bunch of them out there that the public would be on your side of to pick Israel
and Hassan Piker right now as the issue to fight about to advance the interests of the center of
of the party, all you're doing is undermining the credibility of the center of the party,
right? All you do, like 90% of the Democrats voters are against this war. And the popularity of
this war and of Israel and of Middle Eastern conflicts is going down by the minute within
the Democratic coalition. And so for you to be like, now we as the centrist establishment serious
types want to exile a far leftist from here because he has some impure thoughts about
Israel. It's like all you're doing is making it more powerful. All you're doing is piss
is making people think you're a bigger idiot to pick right now to have this fight. And it
is truly, it's like madness. The entire country is moving the other direction. We can just
be honest. It's moving Hassan's direction on the question of Israel and you're like,
we're going to pick a fight with him on that? Right now, when Davy and Trump are
careening the world economy, they've got us in this war they don't know how to get out of.
They're doing war crimes, shooting bombing schools, girl schools. What are you doing?
What are you doing? I just, I don't get it. We did this already five years ago where a bunch of
liberals were like, you can't go on Joe Rogan. He had some bad opinions.
I just like, we can't do this shit again. Okay.
You can't do the shit again. This is stupid.
If you personally don't like that, son, back of the time,
me and the son disagree on a bunch of stuff. We're going to argue about a bunch
of stuff. A bunch of, uh,
a bunch of sex past any fans are, uh, on suicide watch after this video.
I suspect, you know,
pour one out for the sex past any community and its orbiters that, uh,
Tim Miller, the bulwark is now also an op for them. Cause these guys have the, they
place the highest priority on undermining whatever the fuck I'm doing. Weirdly enough,
like they have no real politics at all. Politics is just like a secondary patina that they
slap on a coat of paint that they slap on to their true resentment, right?
very interesting to watch them operate. Sir Longwell has boomer mentality. Tim is turning
dark woke bro check logs. I'm telling you, he read my comments. It's a these are, I mean,
these are even more marginal, obviously. Okay. These are even the sex passing the orders.
talking about is like a collective total of like maximum 6,000 people, right? But the difference
of the issue of course is that they are incredibly online and they can have an outsized influence
in like a messaging campaign, you know, they can highlight certain things or there's like an endless
well of clips out of context, like they're an endless resource for people who want to engage in
in this battle, right?
Luffy loves lofi, I support Israel and I'm against terrorism,
both can be true, yeah.
Wait, what?
I support Israel and I'm against terrorism.
Like as in you're saying like Israel's doing terrorism,
I don't understand how you can support Israel
and be against terrorism.
Israel is a terrorist state.
I don't agree with that framing,
I support Israel's right to exist and defend itself,
I'm against terrorism, targeting civilians,
wrong always. Oh, it's incoherent than your position. There is no entity in the region
that has targeted civilians with a higher frequency than the state of Israel. And also
now the United States of America, which just doesn't even exist. And yes, that even includes
the IRGC. But yeah, as I was trying to say, this is an admission of the reality, the reality
that Israel is indefensible and that basically, I think this is Tim Miller basically telling
people that watch him to just shut the fuck up about Israel. If you want to even like behave
as a centrist, it's just a bad look. Like it's him trying to tell people to be a little bit
smarter, right? But he's saying like, look, we have disagreements at the end of the day,
as long as you want to like unseat Donald Trump, which I clearly do.
You can't be fucking, you're not going to win favors with anybody by openly defending the
the state of Israel, when its unpopularity is, is only going to skyrocket further, right?
Like most people are going to hear what you're saying, and it doesn't even matter, even if
you have a valid critique, they're going to hear what you're saying.
And they're going to go, yeah, fuck that, fuck Israel, and fuck you, right?
the argument he's presenting here? Over the next coming years, the rest of our
life, as long as we're streaming, we'll be arguing about various things. And that's
fine. People can follow me sometimes, sometimes, maybe some of you with me all
the time, him all the time. That's fine. Like, what is the utility of trying to
shun him in his audience right now? If you're in the pro-democracy coalition,
it's moronic. He was being super pragmatic and he's getting roses for it.
I mean, I'll be honest. I
Actually don't mind the the wave of attacks even though like a lot of people have reached out
Even politicians have reached out to be like yo is everything good. You're getting fucking yell that quite a bit on the timeline and I'm like, yeah
right, I'm
Perfectly fine as a matter of fact because I'm used to it
I'm used to getting yelled at in this exact same way, and I've been receiving these attacks for the last three years, right?
I've been receiving these attacks for even longer than that, but like certainly this specific line of attack on the issue of Israel
for the last three years. And when I was tanking it in the immediate aftermath of October 7, it was a very different dynamic.
Right? It was a far worse situation.
I knew the truth.
I could stand on my principles, I could stand on my convictions, but it was a lot lonelier
where I was at. Nowadays, given the environment has radically shifted in favor of the truth,
in favor of justice, in favor of Palestinian emancipation, all this kind of yelling actually ends
up galvanizing people on my side and and bringing new people to check me out.
Yeah, I saw Army veteran Tony Killswell. We'll look it up.
But anyway, even though Tim Miller made this like very intelligent argument,
the founder of bulwark
was still very upset.
Yeah, it's going to be jealous. So that's the whole thing, my whole long sermon. And so I just want
to set this out. I just want to break it down. There are a bunch of sub elements to this, right?
Like, which is, do I agree with the son pikers politics? Like, I do not. And I went through some
of those disagreements. Should people go and have son piker show? I think yes, we can talk about that.
Should Democrats campaign with them?
Like there are different views on that.
Should there be a litmus test somewhere in the party?
Like where should the Democrats draw the line
in their big tent?
Like should the tent encompass the entire country?
Or should there be polls that people,
if people fall outside those,
they shouldn't fit inside the tent.
So those are kind of, you know,
I think sometimes the conversation,
like all that stuff gets jumbled up into one thing.
And, you know, my views are different
on different sort of sub bullets.
So that's kind of wanted to start there.
You watch my whole thing on which one of those elements,
do you feel like your disagreement is with me?
So I think I want to start with kind of Hassan Piker,
the guy, the stuff he says, and like, who is he?
Because to evaluate him is then to evaluate
the rest of your questions, right?
Is should he be?
Is this the lady that I did a panel with
at the Getty Museum
that I had to tune into from my desktop and I was like towering over her behind them on
the projector where I brought up the fact that her outlet is run by Neocon war criminals
I'm just trying to establish like if this is a person who knows me and has like and has carried resentment for that reason, or if it's just like a random person that out of nowhere joined in on the fuck us on fray.
in the tent or out of the tent is a question of like, okay, who is this guy? What does
he believe? What does he talk about on what is a relatively popular streaming site? And
I'll just give you a flavor of some of the things that pop up from Hassan's critics
that I have seen and that I think are quite, quite terrible. So America deserved 9 11 dude
China he says we hyper focus on the social oppression or the civil liberties or not even
civil liberties necessarily but free speech and things like that but in terms of good governance
there's a lot we can learn from the way they perform out there at least they get results
and he has a lot of very pro-china uh I love when they just like want to disparage my my point of
view, and they end up unironically presenting my highlight reel, you know, like the China
commentary is like a perfect depiction of you're preaching to the converted, okay?
Like that's another, that's another situation where the environment is radically shifting
towards my position. And it's not even like a super positive perspective on China either.
It's one that actually acknowledges China's shortcomings and simply says there's a lot
we can learn from every country, including China. Right? This argument would have made a lot more
more sense than like 2012, right?
It takes, there's one that he says was a little bit taken
out of context, but he says,
it doesn't matter if the fucking rapes happened
on October 7th.
That doesn't change the dynamic for me even this much.
So that's the other part of this problem
that many people can't contend with.
Like the Palestinian resistance is not perfect.
They're not like so good.
Why can you never admit when you're wrong?
It's up to you to tell me what's wrong about the statement.
The only thing you can do is just like demand
that I apologize without even telling me
what's wrong about the statement, right?
But what's wrong about what I said about China? I'm acknowledging its shortcomings in terms of
governance, domestic repression, well and then simultaneously saying like we can learn a lot
about China, we can learn about decent governance from China, responsive governance from China.
What's the, what's wrong about that? Are you saying that it's impossible? We should not
actually learn anything from our largest market competitor. There's just nothing to learn there
at all. There's no lessons to learn from China that is currently destroying us in terms of
manufacturing output. It's destroyed every other country with its record-breaking extreme poverty
of the
800 million people.
Like, as far as this quote, she openly
read, she readily admits it is taken out of context and still continues to use it.
Right. It's very
stupid. They have magical bullets. I don't know what that means. He says Hamas is
1000 times better than Israel. On Hezbollah, he said
What's my favorite flag?
Hezbollah. Look it up.
I'm not even kidding.
It's actually a dope flag.
It's got an AK on it and a fucking hand holding it up.
On Dan Crenshaw, losing an eye in Afghanistan.
What the fuck is wrong with this dude?
I also dislike Dan Crenshaw, but I would not say this.
Didn't he go to war and like literally lose his eye
because of some Mujahideen, a brave fucking soldier
fucked his eye hole with their dick?
On Israel being full of inbreds,
you are left with a country that is packed
to the fucking gills with the most inbred, uneducated,
ultra-nationalist, rabid, Haredi population.
On Russia's annexation of Crimea.
Annexation of Crimea was absolutely
a justifiable annexation.
What do you call Crimea?
I call it part of Russian territory, bitch.
I call it Crimey-A-River, a Russian river.
The annexation of Crimea
was absolutely a justifiable annexation.
On black people.
Black people care about the border?
I don't give a fuck what black people care about.
Black people care about this.
Black people care about that.
Like, shut the fuck up.
up. That's not how politics work. And then I don't know if this is my, I don't know how to,
I'm not going to rank these, but this one's a real...
It's literally someone from a right-wing perspective claiming black people are actually
anti-immigration and me turning around and saying, what, this is like ridiculous, you know,
standpoint epistemology for like right-wing sentiment is totally ridiculous. And it's also
untrue. It's so funny that like every single thing that she's brought up, every single
thing that she's brought up is, is, like, I mean, I have a fucking library of, of, of
eclipses that have clipped shit out of countries for decades. It doesn't matter. You know what
I mean?
date rape is better if it happens to rich women.
If you have these fucking millionaire, billionaire wasps, fails.
That's not true. She's lying.
But again, no, I didn't even say that.
Again, when did you say that? Never.
There's a university when reacting to a university that was celebrating removing title nine restrictions. I said, listen, if they want to cordon themselves off from the rest of normal society and celebrate the fact that there is no like they're basically cordon themselves off from the rest of normal society by acting as a person.
actively choosing to go to a school that celebrates the fact that they will not actually
prosecute date rape. Better that they're there than anybody else, anywhere else. Does that
sound like me saying date rape is better if it happens to rich women or white women or
whatever the fuck she said? It's totally made up.
It sounds at least taking them out of other colleges so they can only do date rape to
other billionaire-millionaire-failed daughters is in some respects, you know, from a utilitarian
perspective, of course, a little bit better. Okay, Piker told off a listener who condemned
the massacre on October 7th, a bloodthirsty violet pig dog suck my dick. Okay, so that's
the guy. That's the guy. I do not think any Democrat should look to include him in their
coalition. And here's the thing, you mentioned my book at the top. I just wrote a whole
book that is going to come out in September. It is 300 pages. It's called How to Eat an
Elephant One Voter at a Time. It is 300 pages about how you build a winning coalition.
There's not a single paragraph that recommends cozying up to people like Hassan Piker. I
talk a lot about Big Tense. I talk a lot about a pro-democracy coalition. But here's the
thing. Hassan Piker doesn't actually belong in the pro-democracy coalition. He's an illiberal
He's a China Russia sympathizer who hates women hates Israel like he's all the toxic things
And I think and I was listening to you last night
And I was like my biggest problem with it because I agree with you in some places my biggest problem is I felt like you were soft
selling
Who this guy is like at one point? I think you called it like impure thoughts or something
Well, this is one of my defenses of biker is also defensive myself is that if you're streaming eight hours a day
Like I feel like the critics that sometimes like look at the I guess like an eight-word snippet of something somebody says
I'm like you fucking talk for eight hours a day
I just talked for one hour a day last night and I rewatched that video and saw impure thoughts
And that's not what I was trying to say, you know, I was trying to you know
I was trying to say that you use talk for a long time and yeah
You don't accidentally say America deserve that. No. No. No. He had some very bad takes in there, too
I you're very very like you have some really for sure push this can I push back on this idea though? They're not takes
Like this guy has a worldview that I think is anathema to liberal democracy.
It's not that we just disagree with his politics.
I think it's really funny that a person who only like as of what four or five years ago
decided to vote for Democrats.
And even then it's like conditional is now offering unsolicited advice to the Democratic
party about who to lean into that represents large chunks of their base by basically rehashing
the Washington Free Beacons article, which is weird from Chuck Ross, just a beautiful
compilation of taking everything out of context. And if you can understand this for Israel,
as many people have the capacity to understand, or if your anti-Zionist or anti-Israel, they'll
say you're anti-Semitic, they'll find something to make that argument stick, the same goes
for all of the other perspectives that they're mentioning, right, even down to it. I'm glad
I explained the lie that she told about me being like in support of date rape as long
as it's like for rich women or some shit. It's fucking ridiculous.
Or even saying I'm anti-black. Okay.
Okay.
Like, the Washington Free Beacon and Fox News hosts running around being like he's anti-black
and then having that be channeled by a random lady who spent most of her life being a registered
Republican is pretty funny.
Right?
These are the opposite viewpoints that I represent.
It's ridiculous.
Sam, anti-black, because you clip me as I'm responding to a total lie that black people are very conservative and very racist towards immigrants
and trying to apply standpoint epistemology, that perspective to like, to create this false narrative is not anti-blackness at all.
So, if you can understand how these guys operate in the exact same way for Israel, you can apply it to everything else.
because they are doing it for everything else. What matters most is your capacity to engage
critically with what I'm saying. Listen to my words. It's free. You don't even have to subscribe
to the Hassanabee broadcast, to the Parker Broadcasting Service. I don't run ads at all. I'm
live and endlessly accessible for eight hours a day minimum. You can make up your own mind. You're an adult.
But between her and I, who do you think actually is more likely to be anti-racist,
anti-white supremacy. Because when she was working with Republicans, I was
advocating for Black Lives Matter, I was advocating for criminal justice reform, I
was converting white supremacists away from having anti-black thoughts quite
successfully as a matter of fact. Same with misogyny, same with everything else that they brought up.
Totally ridiculous. I think his worldview is gross and the way he talks about people
is disgusting. And so like I think he is all of the things that I think you're you were being too
hard on sort of the third way types were condemning him because he is.
At the end of the day, the real problem that is being presented here is Israel.
Okay. That's it.
They don't like that there are loud outspoken anti-zionist voices that
Democratic politicians are hearing from, and they wanna desperately gatekeep who their politicians
speak to and listen to.
They're actively trying to turn someone like myself into a toxic person within the party.
And what they failed to comprehend is, I want Republicans to lose, okay?
Okay, so my advice to Democrats is not coming from a sinister place where I'm like, yeah,
if I give advice to Democrats, then they'll end up losing the Republicans.
My advice to the Democrats is channeled through a shit ton of the base, right?
The only thing that is correct about this assessment is that I am vulgar, okay, I'm
a vulgar person.
But that's just who I am.
I'm a vulgar person, and I think that's still infinitely better than being a civil war criminal,
right?
Being a civil person that defends war crimes or defends war criminals is, in my opinion,
worse than being a vulgar person that is on the side of justice and on the side of truth.
For many Democrats, they can't get over that hurdle. They fall prey, they fall victim to
civility arguments all the fucking time. I don't think you're supposed to be civil,
especially with races. You're not supposed to be civil with fascists. Who gives a fuck?
And they're not civil either.
So that's it.
Condemnable.
And I think it is important.
You and I spent a long time when I was on your podcast trying to
take our long time reflexive pro-Israel stances
and kind of wrestle with that now in this new world.
this new world and I'm up for wrestling with that. And I do, one of the things that is scary
about wrestling with that is that there's a bunch of people on the I'm against this war,
I'm against Israel's involvement in this war, who do it for anti-Semitic reasons. And I think
disaggregating from those people as you criticize this war is absolutely essential from a moral standpoint.
This I think is the crux of the deal, because as I said last night, I argued with Hassan
about China on and off stage.
I argued with Hassan about his focus on Israel on stage, and I think that he is a liberal
and I think that if Hassan was running for Congress or President, I would oppose him.
And I think that probably, I think it's very unlikely that me and Hassan will have the
same preferred candidates in the Democratic 2028 campaign if so, if we do, that candidate
will end up being very adept at navigating our very fractures.
So who the hell knows what the future holds?
But like, I don't like it, I don't like his worldview.
And I think that it is worth objecting to, and I think it's worth people like us objecting
to and hashing it out and fighting with him about it and arguing about a lot of the things
that he thinks are bad.
I also just think that, you know, two things.
One, people that consume him hear that list
and are like, that doesn't mesh with the guy I know, right?
And I think that if you came up with my 10 worst takes,
it would not sound as bad as his list
or anywhere near as bad, I don't think.
But especially if you go back,
but if you go back to 2004,
I have some pretty bad takes going all the way back, okay?
So I just mean, if you put my list together,
I think a lot of Bulwark people would be like,
guy, like you're being unfair, right?
And because I think that there are a lot of areas
where he is genuine, that he cares about stuff,
human rights, and again, I don't watch this day to day,
but I just, I hear this from other people,
I think they would say, wait a minute,
you're trying to turn them into like,
Tucker or somebody whose whole show
is about anti-Semitism right now,
but like, he talks a lot about making sure
people can get a living wage and human rights
around the world and how we should care about rights
for people.
So does Tucker.
Okay, fine, so anyway,
I'm just telling you what people would say about him.
I think that, I do think that it is a category difference.
people who are criticizing me about the stream I started trying to lump it in with like I thought
you left Trump and I was like no Trump had a lot of noxious views and then he ran for president
tripling down on them and being like hey here are all my worst views and like I I think that we
should institute them as policy. Some of the things you laid out I think Hassan would agree with some
of those things if you read the profiles of him he's backed off on particularly um no he says he
says he he says he does not apologize for any of them he was just taken out of context he's like
He's like, I don't take any of them back.
I don't walk any of them back, but maybe
we'll talk about that.
Sure.
Maybe.
I'd have to listen to that.
I guess I just would say that holistically,
it is a category difference for me from what you get from MAGA.
All of that aside, though, because we can take the measure
of the man, and you can decide that he's a wholly unacceptable
man, and I can say that he's a man that has some bad views,
and we can hash that out.
The strategic question, the analytical question,
is how a Democrat should handle somebody like that.
And this is when I'm the harshest
on the view that he should be kicked out.
And I'm particularly harsh, and I said this last night,
and this relates to your point about Israel,
about like picking this fight with him right now,
like at this moment today, April 3rd of 2026,
because right now we're embroiled in a catastrophic war
that the Secretary of State said we did
because Israel got us into it.
So like you can call that a conspiracy theory
or whatever, but like the Secretary of State said it
and Trump is, the President has basically said it,
you know, he does word salad a bunch of times.
And I just think that any fair analyst could look at it
and say, well, obviously like this war is more
in Israel's acute interest than ours.
Like that's just, it's just the same effect, right?
So like we are in this war with our partner Israel
right now on the heels of their behavior in Gaza,
whatever you have to describe that, whether it's genocide
or ethnic cleansing or war crimes or just,
just more killing than was necessary,
anywhere on that continuum,
like this comes after that.
Now we've partnered with them for a war in Iran
that is gonna create massive damage globally
to people's lives.
Like people are gonna be materially harmed
by this war, they already are.
And there are a lot of people out there
in this country right now
who are really mad about that.
And they're about to get really mad
or in the coming months.
And I think a lot of them look at the,
They blame Trump, but they also look at the Democratic Party and be like,
you guys have been on this too. Joe Biden was in there when it,
when Israel was doing the Gaza thing, the Democrats have been, you know,
part of this bipartisan establishment,
the goddess into these stupid wars forever.
And they look around for people and who do they see out there saying,
no, we shouldn't, we should not do these wars. They're stupid. They're wrong.
They see people like Hassan.
And, and so in this moment where people are very bad, a lot of voters that, when you say how to eat an elephant one at a time, a lot of voters, Democrats are going to need who, whether they be young voters or men who don't want to go to war or people whose costs are going to go up.
Like right now, at this moment, a lot of them are assessing the landscape.
And they're saying like, fuck, Trump betrayed me.
Like, I thought I was, I thought I was on board with the no wars candidate.
the war's candidate, okay?
And they're gettable right now,
as right as they have ever been
to be gotten by the Democratic Party.
And in this moment, the Democratic Party
and their leaders should be focused, in my view,
on being as clear and loud and passionate
as possible, no stupid wars.
I will not get you involved in this.
This is a mistake, to the extent that Israel is involved.
The fact that our relationship is closely tied to them
is a mistake.
And if we ever get back in power,
we will not betray you, we hear you, we see this.
And instead you hear a lot of democratic leaders being like,
well, this is, we should kick this guy out.
That's no, that's what he's known for.
Like if he's known for anything,
it's being anti this stuff.
And it's like, what, we're picking this fight with him now.
I'm just like, I could think of a thousand other things
I would rather Democrats pick fights about now.
Like why him right now?
Because he's making their life harder.
It is people like us.
Well, hold on. People like Hassan are making Democrats who want to take a stand against
this war, right? And who want to probably take a stand against the way that Trump is
just sort of like, you know, doing whatever BB tells him. They're trying to figure out
how to do it in a way where they don't imperil the safety of Jewish people in this country.
They're trying to do it in a way that is, they don't want to be anti-Semitic at all.
First of all, I think I'm the only person at my size that actually does do that, which
is, you know, provide a safe space for Jews and actively push back against anti-Semitism.
Lady, you gotta go outside.
Okay?
Most people do not give a fuck.
Okay?
I'll be very honest.
Most people think, holy shit, what Israel is that is unconscionable, and if you're lucky,
they don't have that enmity transferred to Jews in general.
But given the fact that for, you know, the past 75 fucking years, and certainly accelerated
in the last three years, every single defender of Israel is actively defended as the Jewish
state.
There are a lot of people who learn the exact opposite attitude that you are demonstrating.
And this even includes fucking Democrats too, okay?
But perhaps the dumbest argument here is the idea that there are a lot of like anti-Zionist
or anti-genocide voices out there and they just can't subscribe to being anti-genocide
because there's people like me.
That's like saying I can't be anti-Zionist or anti-Jewish because Nick Fuentes exists.
I don't give a fuck that Nick Fuentes exists.
I've been anti-Zionist before he knew what the fuck Israel was.
Who gives a shit?
But yeah, it's doubly ridiculous that these guys, unironically, do this thing to someone
like myself, where they try to, instead of going after people who are just like a vowed
anti-Semites, Holocaust deniers and whatnot, they go after the one guy at this level, at
this size that does spend a decent amount of time actively combating against anti-Semitism
while being an avowed anti-Zionist.
That's what's so unfucking believable about it.
It blows my mind.
Tell you why, Hazan is so dangerous is that what it does is it's exactly what Trump does.
It's exactly what Nick Fuentes does and Tucker does.
It takes maybe legitimate rage about something and then it gives them an enemy to put it
on.
It gives them an out group to blame for it.
And I think you have to be so careful with that so that you're not doing that, which
starts with condemning the people who hold the same position as you for reasons that
are bad, for reasons that are hostile to each other.
Totally disagree.
Totally disagree.
condemning the fucking war and condemning Israel and condemning BB and condemning Trump and being
Passionate and clear about it because then what happens then if you have the credibility then with the voters who who were anti-war voters
Who were unhappy about the way that they see the bipartisan establishment?
They thought Trump was gonna be there their savior from this that there was this some
Blob in DC and no matter which parties in charge we only get in the stupid wars
They thought Trump was their way out of this and now they're like Trump's doing the same shit that all the other ones did that
We said we didn't want it. He's doing it worse
And so now if the Democrats go to those people and are and go on those show they should be on those shows
They're gonna should be begging Joe Rogan or Theo whoever to have them on right now
They should be on Manusphere shows being like I told you this was stupid. I didn't want to do this
This war is dumb our relationship with Israel is too tight. We should be reevaluating it
We should not be getting dog walked into this war by the way
MBS also sucks, right? Like you can do that in a way that's not anti-Semitic because it's what's happened. Like it's happened.
And so if they did that and then in five months, they're like, you know what, okay,
look at this, though. Like we, you guys, we cannot, you know, be shoulder to shoulder with somebody as this view or that view.
Or we have to, like then you have the credibility to see it.
Why is there a five-month gap? Why can't it be in the same breath?
Because no one believes they're anti-Israel.
Everyone knows that you're not.
Because the like on the on the basis of like what your gripe is
While you're simultaneously coming after perhaps one of the
Highest profile anti-sign is in American media
Of course people are not gonna trust you on
Being the gatekeeper of how to criticize Israel. They're gonna trust me. You have no credibility
I've been doing this for a fucking 12 years while you were working with neocons. I was yelling about neocons
And you still don't have that credibility because I don't even know what her like full
Perspective is right. I don't know what her full perspective on Israel is
But if you're gonna claim that Israel is like the Jewish state if we're gonna keep saying that if you're gonna tie Judaism to Israel
Then you obviously are unaware of how unimaginably unpopular Israel is for good reasons for the record
That's number one and number two
You are completely oblivious to what that conflation does, what that conflation teaches people.
Okay, that's a conflation teaches people the trope of dual loyalty.
Okay, it teaches people that all Jews give a shit about is Israel and defending Israel.
That's all they care about, which is not even the fucking truth.
And it becomes increasingly harder for someone like myself to make that argument.
Right.
But I don't think she understands.
I think it should because I do agree with you that nature
abhors a vacuum, right?
Like part of what is happening is that there is a desperate
anger over this war from a lot of people that feel betrayed
by Donald Trump that don't want any more foreign wars in the
Middle East.
And like we're almost it's not it's not about Israel.
Like for some, there's also, that's not even true. I'm sorry.
Republicans are entirely on board. Like what are we talking about? Your goal is to like,
if your goal is to still create this like false notion that there's never Trump Republicans out
there, you're so lost, right? At a certain point, you have to realize like the lane that you occupy
It's not a real vehicle for change, okay? There is no never Trump Republican. Like,
it doesn't, as it stands, it doesn't exist. MAGA is Republicanism. Donald Trump is
the Republican Party, and the base loves it. And the base doesn't just love it. The base is
actually a cult at this point. Like, they don't even like Trump because of what he does. They
like Trump because Trump's doing it, and they love Trump.
You understand?
But there's, for some people, it is about Israel. For some people, it is about anti-Semitism.
Those are different. And then there's just a lot. I think the vast majority of people
are just mad we're doing this again.
And so like Democrats should be condemning it.
They should be outspoken.
They should be the one to try to gain a following
by talking about this.
But I think in doing so, they should separate themselves
from people like Hassan.
I don't think you have to wrap your arms around him.
I don't think, you know.
He has credibility and they don't on this cell.
And they're exacerbated.
So they should go get credibility themselves.
They don't need to borrow it from him.
I'm not telling you, I'm not saying they should borrow from him.
I never said, again, here's the disagreement.
I never said I think Democrats should campaign with them.
I disagree with that.
I think they should go on a show.
I think you don't think they should go on a show.
Hassan's?
Oh my God, that we could not agree disagree more.
Oh my God, the people that watch the show are not tarot.
The regular people, a lot of people watch the one.
There's no reason for Tim Miller to concede that I'm a terrible person here.
I get that like he's trying to make the best argument possible here.
but like it is quite difficult that the the established premise is just completely faulty
from her end. I don't expect people to just like look through, come through every single
clip out of context, but you know, it is pretty crazy that like, like what they quote unquote
have on me is already incredibly stupid. And it's so obviously cynical that like most people
see that and they go, come on man, here we go again. Another guy who hates Israel being
called anti-Semite and like a million different other smears, right? We've seen this happen
over and over again. So it's like people have developed a tremendous tolerance, a tremendous
resistance to this kind of like shits mirroring operation.
But the reality is like Tim Miller is also right on on the
the tactical grounds as well.
Just video let's just on sunshine. I hear we saw them on
the street. Yeah, this is this is like the same shit we just
did with Joe Rogan. It's a Democrat. Joe Rogan has terrible
fucking views. They have to speak to those people. Joe Rogan has
far worse views than me. It's not even comparable.
Maca Barca has a gross suspicion of the Jews.
Joe Rogan, Theo Vaughn and big league hosts
who elevated Trump now playing footsie with anti-Semites.
Those are the people that they have to speak to.
Why wouldn't they do that?
I get right now, especially right now
when they're the most gettable.
Let's say, so, so Nick Flentes is out there saying
should vote for Democrats because Trump is doing this for Israel.
Think Democrats should go on a point as a show?
I don't.
I would make this is full of shit is the thing.
I mean, I don't think they should go on a show, but not really so much
because he's an anti-Semite.
I don't think they should go on a show because he's like, uh, he's a troll.
He's just a troll.
Hassan really believes that he believes.
I can say his beliefs are bad or wrong or shameful or should be condemned.
And you could go on a show and fight him about it.
But like Hassan is not out there doing like, oh, you know, jokes about ovens and, you know,
the jew there might not have been that many people killed in the holocaust doing trolling.
Like, what does Dick Funtz even believe? Does anybody even notice even know? I don't think
he even knows what he believes anymore. Like, he's just full shit. It's like a variety show.
Hassan, like, has passionate left-wing views. And they should be grappled with, I think.
who says that 9-11 was America's fault and that like I don't think this is a serious person. This is
my part of my problem. Now, I'm going to both state a problem and then I think one of the ways in
which strategically this is bad. Nick Flentes and Hasan Piker are both being elevated in the discourse
because people are there's a Streisand effect happening. This I do write about in the book,
the Streisand effect that makes these people more powerful, that gives these people a bigger platform
form, where whether it is the earnestness of Hassan or the nihilism of Fuentes, right?
People are like-
People like I always say you can disagree with Israeli policies, but and then never
tolerate any disagreements with any Israeli policies. Calling every critique anti-Semitic
is actually insane how bad faith they are. Yeah, it's my favorite because it's like,
never someone says, Hey, listen, I'm perfectly fine with, you know, criticizing the state
of Israel. But, and I always want to go, I want to stop you right there. Okay, you don't
get to define how I criticize a foreign nation state that's conducting a genocide. Okay,
I get to say whatever the fuck I want. You can cry about it. But that's not how this
works. That's not how anything works. Right? Like who died and made you the president of
to criticize Israel. And it's such a silly standard that we don't apply to any other circumstances.
Like, well, you know, you're criticizing a genocidal apartheid state, but like, can you please factor
my feelings and my endless need to defend said genocidal apartheid state into the equation? It's
it's like, no, actually, no, I will not do that.
What are we doing?
What are we even fucking doing here?
How ridiculous.
And it was there for that experience.
And they, they, it raises their curiosity.
This happened with Andrew Tate.
Like there is just a series of people where the-
By the way, notice how every person that they compare me to
are my like perennial ops.
Like people that I've spent a fucking lifetime opposing
and still continue to oppose.
It's very strange that for some reason,
those people's ideology is actually far closer
to this person, at least for like most of her life.
Um, and I have spent my entire life fighting against these people and now she could just
sit there and be like, well, I'm a Democrat now.
And as a Democrat, uh, Hassan is actually far closer to agitated Nick Fuentes than someone
like myself.
Again, totally ridiculous, right?
Totally ridiculous statement.
Don't rage against them is making them more powerful.
being said understanding that dynamic doesn't mean that like there's just
sort of a right is still right and wrong is still wrong like I do think Hasan but
like I felt this way about Mamdani. No it's on my show. Does that just make you
uncomfortable? Like oh my god she's shitting on Mamdani. She's shitting on
Zoran. I feel this way about Mamdani. The way the phrase goes wasn't. The language is something that I haven't
I haven't that's like I just feel like the phrase go by isn't a father's not something people should use because
Even if you don't intend it to be that way it is heard by Jewish people. I was like chill us everywhere
See, this is what I mean. It's like I'm sorry
Okay, but the truth is the truth like it doesn't it doesn't change anything like you have to argue on
Not how this phrase makes people feel
Okay, especially on this issue, especially on this issue, it's so weaponized against
those who are making the just argument and now the increasingly popular argument, right?
I don't have to spare your feelings when I'm talking about something.
If I'm saying something wrong, you can call it out, right?
But you can't simply sit here and tell me, well, this makes me scared, okay?
I don't listen to white supremacists and how they have genuine fears that if a black person
becomes the president, that they're going to live through segregation, right?
They might genuinely feel that way, okay?
They might genuinely, legitimately feel that way, but that doesn't matter.
That's their problem, right?
because it's a fucking ridiculous criticism. And the same goes for people who are pro-Israel.
Same goes for Zionism, because Zionism is a racist ideology. It's not identical to
white supremacy, but it has a lot of qualities. And obviously, there's, with every right-wing
ideology, with every reactionary ideology, there's varying degrees of this. Not everyone is going to
going to be a fucking clans member. Like there are relatives that you have that are otherwise
very kind people that might demonstrate certain anti-black behaviors, right?
Zionism is no different. Like there's varying degrees of white supremacy, there's varying
degrees of Zionism. But ultimately, the underprinting of this ideology is very racist. The idea
that let's be real palestinians and arabs
muslims in general
are lesser
and and it's not
this is not a far-fetched assessment either because
this is
zionism in action is israel
zionism in action is israel a nation state
that is built around
at no religious supremacy
that ideology is always going to be extermination is it has been extermination
throughout Israel's history. Its inception was the Nakba, right? An ethnic cleansing operation,
a planned ethnic cleansing operation of 750,000 indigenous Palestinians that were robbed of
their homes, that were pushed away violently from their homelands, never to be able to return again.
That was just the inception, right? So it's continued, it's expanded, it's gotten worse,
technologies have advanced and Israel's utilized that technology in its
extermination of skulls, towards its extermination, its agenda, its surveillance,
policies. And it has operated in apartheid state for the past 75 years,
and the underpinning ideology of this is Zionism, right? So when someone comes in
and says, listen, I'm a Zionist, I'm a liberal Zionist, and you're like hurting
my feelings when you say Zionism is racism, I can explain to you exactly why I feel this
way, exactly why I think this way with facts. Okay? Because the purest expression of Zionism
is that nation-state of Israel, right? There are vague definitions out there, people throw
it around, they say, oh, well, you know, why can't Jews have a homeland like whatever, right?
Oh, you want Israel to not exist, you want every Jew to die? I don't. Okay? I don't want
any Judah died. It's fucking ridiculous. But I am not going to sit there and try to spare
your feelings just as I'm not going to sit there and listen to someone who is defending
Christian nationalism, for example. So the very same resistance that I have to the dangerous
toxic repulsive ideology of Nick Fuentes is the exact same principle stance I have towards people
who are Zionists, who are defenders of Israel. And it's the exact same.
Christian nationalism is OP, get bent. Yeah, dude, one day, one day, I promise,
you're gonna, you're gonna restore the Christian fatherland, I promise. Stupid.
So, yeah, it's totally ridiculous to be like, oh, you can, you can criticize Israel, but
you have to spare my feelings when you're in the process of criticizing Israel.
And it's like, my feelings revolve around how much I want to defend Israel.
Okay, well, yeah, I don't think you get to set those boundaries, right?
That's a you problem.
And the same goes for people that were like fearful of Zoran.
Let's be real.
Zoramumdani is is endlessly considerate, okay, and maybe even far too conciliatory to some of these racist opinions
Right. That's the difference between me and Zoran as I can be as vulgar as I want. He can he's the mayor, right?
even if we
Align on the principles
He has to communicate a certain way I can I have a lot more freedoms in the way that I communicate, right?
But when you turn around and say this exact same thing about Zoran, you're giving the
game away, right?
So many people in the last couple of months in the lead up to the mayoral election were
talking crazy about Zoran.
They were like, oh well, I'm fearful as a Jew, I'm fearful of, I'm fearful of, of Zoram
Mamdani winning the election.
He's gonna harm me as a Jewish American, as a Jewish New Yorker, when he had never demonstrated
even an iota of anti-Semitism.
Neither have I, but at least there is like statements that I have out there that like
if you're hysterical enough, you can actually associate with, you know, the Palestinian resistance,
like a defensive Palestinian resistance in general, the defensive Lebanese resistance
in general against the state of Israel. Like I can see why you would falsely conflate that
with anti-Semitism. It's still hysterical, but at least there's like, at least there's
a little bit more room for that. But Zoran didn't even do that. He never did. He was
too fearful to do so, right? So at that point, it's very obvious. It's like yelling at Miss
Rachel and calling Miss Rachel an anti-Semi. At that point, you're giving the game away.
Like it's your racism. And I don't think we have to literally abide by your Islamophobic
standards. If you're running around like a headless chicken claiming that every Muslim
anti-Zionists is actually out to get you and they're all terrorists and they're all going to do anti-Semitic hate crimes to you
That's a you problem, right?
That's not a me problem. How am I supposed to live in this environment where you just automatically assume that I'm a danger to you?
That's your problem and it's no different than a
white supremacist or a Christian nationalist claiming that like a black American
elected is going to be an ever-present danger to their way of existence, right?
It's totally ridiculous, and it's flat-out racist. However, many people also have that shared Islamophobic perspective, so they don't even fucking see it.
Okay? They don't see it. They don't understand it, because they also are, like, a little bit worried.
They also think every Muslim is secretly maybe going to be an ever-present threat to America.
They might do 9-11 at any moment, right?
Like there is that unfortunate normalized attitude, it's a very racist attitude, it's
bigoted, it's ridiculous, it's hysterical, but unfortunately it's the norm, right?
And I know it's the norm because people, and I've talked about this before with permissible
bigotry, right?
Like, what the majority find to be permissible as far as like a demonstration of bigotry
and what goes beyond it.
For Islamophobia, you can basically call every Muslim a terrorist and you're not going to
receive a lot of institutional pushback.
There's not really anything you can say about Islam or Muslims that will cause the large
sub-sex of American society to turn around and go, oh, that's a bridge too far.
There are certain things that you can't say about every other group, every other ethnic
group, that people would absolutely refuse to overlook, okay?
Braslamophobia, there isn't.
There's no ceiling.
Everything is permitted, right?
That's how you know it's totally fucking normalized.
So it's very frustrating to have to constantly act as though I need to be on the back foot,
on the defensive about my worldview, when in fact the real reason why she's yelling
at me and not the I've had it ladies, for example, who share the same exact sentiment
and sometimes even engage in similar vulgarities to, you know, to myself.
The reason why they're not spending a good deal of time talking about what I've had at ladies is
because they're not Muslim. It's that simple, right? You would look totally ridiculous if you
were to do that about another popular leftist content creator, a podcast. If you were to
Demand that no one go on the i've had it uh podcast people would look at you and go you're out of your f***ing minor Emma Vigelin for example
You know majority report
Sam Cedars Jewish
Emma Viglind is a white woman
You can't make that same argument about them. You can make it however about Zoram Mammadani
You can make that argument about Abdullah Sayed you can make that argument about myself
And that is because there is a lot of unexamined Islamophobia.
I don't talk about it too much because like I said, you just got to fucking eat it, you
know?
But there are instances where I have to bring this up because it's totally allowed to be
as like, it's, it's, you're totally allowed to be as racially charged against someone
like myself when you're talking about these issues, and then also falsely claim that I
am demonstrating the same like ethnic or religious bigotry myself. It's not the case. There's
two people in this conversation, if I were talking to her, between her and I, and there's
only one person that is actually demonstrating bigotry. It's not me, it's her. But that bigotry
is seen as invisible bigotry because large sub sex of American society also have that
same exact resentment.
And so that should be condemned. And then I asked her if you had condemned anyone on
the show.
But like I just, I think keeping, I think trying not to elevate these people in the
discourse or us being clear that they are malign actors, like we can have to, we can
wrestle with what they say. And actually I want to say something.
glad. I'm glad that she's also, uh, you know, yelling about Zoran as well, because Zoran
is a much more popular and much better known figure than myself. Now at this point, and
he's a beloved figure in the democratic party. And he is actually, uh, exactly the, the type
of person that we should be running, right? Everywhere. So for her to yell at me with
clips out of context is one thing, but for her to turn around and then also say like,
Zoran is just like us on. I'm a line figure. That gives the game away, right? You just lost
endless amounts of credibility. I'm willing to bet even in the bulwark audience, there are plenty
of fucking people who might have had some fears about Zoran. And then when those fears were never
realized, they are actually started liking him quite a bit. Because I'm not sure if we've talked
about this before. I was also on a panel with him, and I didn't know who he was going into it. This
is like actually the embarrassing part of this is that I didn't I don't like really know I don't
like follow who the twitch streamers are and I hadn't really heard of him if I had I hadn't
bothered to figure out who he was and when he started talking like he kind of the first things
out of his mouth were like ridiculous and they were attacks on Bill and it was this like kind of
of, it was just like garbage lefty nonsense.
The garbage lefty nonsense, as I said, your outlet is run by, uh, neocon war criminals,
even if they've had a change of heart.
Yeah, Bill Crystal, who is a woke warrior now?
That is true.
I'm glad that the now woke warrior in the Democratic Party coalition is saying garbage
left the nonsense.
What was the fallout?
Well, not the fallout.
What was the kind of reaction to the fuck?
Why is she so angry? I mean, I think you know why that's and I also had a fight with him on the stage and condemned
What he was saying also is I get how polarizing it's on pikers, but Sarah con mum Donnie and malign anchor shows are completely out of touch
She is Tim is right on this one people in government said 9-11 was our fault because none of the three letter agencies are targeting each other
Doing the gods of things is strange for me to pronounce slaughtering innocent civilians of retaliation
Funny how Tim Wurz pearls, but his co-host clutches them. I've never seen a better visual
of visual representation of pearl clutching before. Someone called the dictionary people.
So y'all are critiquing someone you don't watch. As an independent, I say vote out anyone
that has Israel first in the American second. Tell me you haven't listened to a second of
a streaming without telling me you haven't listened to a second of a streaming. We sure
don't see Hakeem Jeffries or Chuck Schumer doing it. I hope they made this video to get
to pulse on how the audience slash Democrat base feel. And I hope they listen.
Sarah lost credibility in the argument when she started by saying, I read some of what
his critics say, why do his critics filtering his statements, get no second look? Tim is
right about the talk eight hours a day thing. When you generate that much content, it's
incredibly easy to chop up whatever narrative you want. I found him a while ago actually
because of his critics wanted to see for myself, first hand, turns out much of his third way
Schumer smear is chopped and cut from its context. It's pretty sarcastic and often mocks
his critics by dramatizing what they say about him, which is bad faith critics clip. And then
you get it, you just get it third hand and it reads horrible.
He even has video showing exactly how they do this to him.
It's shocking how many of us just don't go to the source on controversial takes,
myself included, and instead react and formulate a hard opinion based on borrowed
criticism. But I get it.
A lot of us are coming at a lot is coming at us all the time.
Blood the zone. Remember,
but going after Piker is exactly how once again,
corporate Democrats like Schumer and Jeffries risk snatching defeat from the
cause of victory. We can't survive this cycle again.
So it really means you have to be careful not scaring off the donors.
I subscribed to the bull work at my politics, mostly alarm and pikers.
Democrats who keep throwing people out of the tent will keep losing.
And those people will get radicalized by the far right. This must stop.
The ironic thing about Sarah's position on the Democrats needing credibility on
the issues is that it's literally the same exact critique.
He's on has about the Democrats.
He said that Democrats need to be clear on Israel's war crimes. Otherwise, terrible people like Tucker
Cross will look like the reasonable voice when he is a full-blown anti-Semite white nationalist.
I think she's grossly mistaken about what Hassan's politics actually are. I think she just doesn't care.
That's it. I think because she's a little bit of a boomer, she thinks this is negligible.
Like she, this is like beneath her station to even have to argue. People should just listen to her
because she's a well-established, credible actor in this field.
So, of course, she's not going to do like decent research, because from her perspective, I'm just
some random dumb fuck. She doesn't realize that I have a bigger audience than she does, right?
She doesn't realize that like my positions are actually far more representative of the
broader base of the Democratic Party. She doesn't care about any of that.
So, from her perspective, it's just like, why am I talking about some shithead who's like
choice quotes that I read from someone who is not even in the coalition, right?
Most of the time it's just like a fucking reactionary framing, anyway.
Holy cow. The Bulwark platform's William Crystal cheerleader for the killing
Mamie and displays about hundreds of thousands of Iraqis about Sarah so
revolted by the thought of having a conversation with the Sampiger. Oh, where
is my fainting couch? I don't think Sarah could have given her book a worst
testimonial in the comments of this video. Read a book about influencing people from
someone who doesn't understand the current moment at all. Her publishers must be enthused.
Never has the bulwark looked more like the Romney Coalition. Touring heat at Hassan is
going to backfire. Sarah has no idea who Hassan is. She's utterly ridiculous. Now Zoran is
a maligned actor. Holy shit, she is so uninformed. Does anyone understand the concept of blowback
Or is that somewhat something that requires you to be younger than 40?
Damn, there's not a single comment that's like, hell, yes, Sarah, you cooked on this. That's crazy. This is their platform.
Sarah's strategy is just move right, move right, keep moving right. Please God, I just want a Republican party that doesn't have Trump in it.
Move right move right move right so I'm not sure how the useful how useful the political advice coming from her would be oh my god
This is a member of four months saying
Based on what I've seen which is not everything Sarah always says she's open to revaluating America's relationship with Israel
But then she never actually does it
I think she's doing this interesting of closing her eyes and ears and hoping Israel goes back to what she thought it was
Nick Flint has never been for anti-corruption working-class universal human rights. It's honest mark assistant 9-11 was a react
Reaction to a shitty prior form policy. Fletcher's Piker cannot be compared
New team leadership now it's like this guy's worthless
Sarah was wrong about Kamala's campaign approach wrong about Zoran and now she's wrong about Hassan as that like I don't I don't find him to be remotely
Interesting as a thinker or and I get I get that he's got a big audience
But just because these guys have big audiences doesn't mean they're all created equal again
I think this is why I know you that the five months thing and right is always right and again
I think that people in the commentary space want to criticize him should
And I understand that Wright is always right in my argument for engaging with him last night.
I said, it was like even this week, he attacked Scott Wiener,
State Center out of California for visiting Israel after October 7th.
And I was like, that's a crazy thing to attack somebody over. That's insane.
I don't think so. And I did privately defend that. I was like, I would do the same if someone
went to apartheid South Africa. I'd do the same if someone went to Nazi Germany.
I do the same as someone went to apartheid South Africa. I think it's totally warranted
I'm gonna talk somebody over and that's wrong and I find it repugnant actually
And but we can disagree about that. Here's my problem though is why it matters all in the in the context of Israel
You're saying especially because like Scott Weiner didn't just go to Israel. He went to Israel and hung out with the president
Okay, amidst a genocide
like
Like it's not even like this is so far. Like that will be brought up in this upcoming race, right?
I hope if someone is smart, they will bring that up in this upcoming race, whether I mean,
it probably won't be Kanye Chan. It'll most likely be Shoecott, right?
But like, he didn't just go to Israel, he hung out with the fucking president and he wrote this,
it's edited now. I don't know what else he said, but last week I co-led a legislative delegation
to Israel with both Jewish and non-Jewish legislators and several community organizations
during this devastating time of war on violence. I remember a variety of leaders, including President
Herzog, members of the Knesset from different parties, passing journals from East Jerusalem,
families of Jewish and Arab and Syriza, held hostage by Hamas, Bedouin leaders in the Negev,
who also have family in Gaza, women who work with them, sports, survivors of sexual violence.
We also bore witness by visiting Kfar-Aza, one of the Kibbutzim Hamas attack, Hamas,
Massacre and rape, kidnap numerous residents there. We also visited the Nova music festival site.
I was also able to pray and reflect on the Western wall, one of the holiest sites in Judaism.
Both the Israelis and Palestinians are losing in this war, are losing this war, all the stuff.
Yeah. Kam Kasky went to Israel. Well, he went to Palestine, but he went through Israel to go to
Palestine. You don't see me complaining about that. You know what I mean?
There's a reason why Scott Wiener has to like reposition himself as an Israel skeptic now
and Israel critic now. Okay. It's ridiculous. Yeah, this post will always haunt you and
you're rambling virtually in prose. You focus entirely on Hamas's horrific actions while
I'm never mentioning Israel's decades long assault on the Palestinians, right?
Like that's entirely different.
Like doing a propaganda mission to Israel amidst its genocide,
and this has continued apartheid is, is crazy.
The SA's fucking stupid for supporting our DC doesn't openly support Connie Chan.
These are some of the reasons.
The DSA San Francisco does not openly support Connie Chan.
There are many DSA San Francisco members who actually prefer Connie Chan to Shroikot.
I hope I can, you know, change their minds.
But yeah, the question was, defensive versus offensive weapons to Israel.
Let's take a look.
This is what Scott Wiener said.
Shroikot says Israel doesn't distinguish between money for offensive and defensive weapons,
neither should we.
We should not be funding Israel's military at all offensive or defensive weapons.
We have a moral obligation to stop this genocide.
The only way we do this is by breaking the Israel lobby's hold on our government.
Yeah, so I do want to I do want to mention something important here, too. Okay, something
that's important here is, uh, Troika said this before AOC statement too. And I think
that matters. Okay.
I think we have a good question.
publicly turned it into the new litmus test. I think this shows integrity pay close attention
to the bank progressives who will now change their attitude once AOC made it permissible.
In January winner can even commit to acknowledge that it was a genocide exactly
He thinks a bad sign for 20 may days. He's not leading on this issue. Um, I
Yes, yes, I do
Connie chan does not support us with Israel dude. Oh really?
So, why is she having a hard time saying no defensive weapons?
It's interesting, I mean saying that in this community, maybe you can say that like to
the MSNBC audience, they'll believe it.
community not so much. The reasons pro-Israel Democratic groups rather talk about
us on piker and not Trump steeply on popular war obvious one Israel's a
party to the war two pro-Israel groups believe the only reason people have a
negative view of Israel's anti-Semitism is anti-Semitism they see it all as
bigotry. Pre-Israel groups genuinely believe people only have a negative view
of Israel because they're bigoted or under the spell of people who they
consider bigots. They don't think any of it has to do with Israel's actions since
is all the rational bigotry they embrace cancel culture. Yeah, these guys are being elevated
by the strides and effect. And I think that that is part of it. It is true. I think that, again,
and I think that's why this is counterproductive to have this fight right now for pro-Israel
Democrats or centrist Democrats or whatever those groups, because I think right now
he's being elevated quite a bit. But I don't think that's what's elevating him. I mean, I think that
what is happening in the world is elevating in the moment. I'm sorry, this is very uncomfortable
for defenders of Israel to deal with. But what happened was we were in a world
He's right. He's right. He's nailing it. He's basically trying to explain
to this person that like history has officially vindicated my position,
a position that I have been consistent on for a decade plus. And that obviously gives me a lot
of credibility with the newcomers in general. And I already have existing relationships with the
people that are in this movement in general. So when you actually come after someone like
myself on these issues to try to like set new boundaries on how we can and can't talk about
this issue. Most people are going to look at you and go, shut the fuck up. What is this phony
bullshit? You know, it almost feels like if, uh, if someone were to be a lifelong Republican
and work within the Republican machine to then come into the Democratic party and tell Nancy
Pelosi what she can and can't do, right? It almost feels like that. Like Nancy Pelosi and
others in the Democratic Party would be like, uh, excuse me, that's Nancy Pelosi. She's the
boss bitch. Okay. You don't get to tell her what to do. You know,
October 7th, with a lot of people that were too soon for my taste out there attacking
Israel for what they're doing in Gaza and how they're prosecuting the war. And they're doing so
in ways that talk to explicitly about that.
Well, clearly anti-Semitic.
Okay. Well, there are times that they're anti-Semitic, but there are also times where
they were talking about things that other people weren't talking about in the news,
like the amount of death and destruction that was happening to the Palestinians in Gaza.
And they were talking about-
Yeah. Like, Tim is actually much smarter on this. Like, as Mike from PA was saying,
he was telling ladies, stop being dumb and hide your sinuous power level,
because doing this shit right now makes you look unhinged. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. No, he's, he's aware. He's like, listen, your position on Israel aside, like,
you should never say that out loud. It's literally what Matt Iglesias was also trying to tell the
Democrats that listened to him, where he was like, guys, guys, guys, we want neoliberalism.
We're going to fucking fail to achieve those goals. If you keep talking about Israel this way,
just give up on Israel. It's over. It's done. Right. Read the fucking room.
About passionately. And maybe they're passionately and earnestly anti-Semitic. Okay. But they're
They're talking about this topic passionately,
talking about how Israel is a malign influence on the world
and that they have too much influence
in American politics.
We're giving them too much aid,
that APAC is too involved in these campaigns.
And if you came and listened to my show a year ago,
like anytime the summer come up,
I was on the side of, I was on the opposite side.
I was saying, you're overstating,
it's kind of anti-Semitic,
how you're blaming APAC for everything,
you're overstating APAC's influence.
And all of their critiques of Israel
Israel has just done everything that they said, like APEC now is the key player in democratic
primaries and enter nice in primaries. They are the group that is putting the most money
in. That's not a Jewish conspiracy theory. That's just what's happening. I talked to
them.
Yeah. For the record, it was always, that was always the case. Like APEC had a tremendous
influence. It's just, it's far more in your face now because a lot of people started having
a negative opinion about Israel. So now all of a sudden when APEC enters the fold, you're
like way more aware of it where you're like, wait a minute, that's crazy. What the fuck?
Democratic strategists, they're like, the race is going to be determined based on APEC's
involvement. Like that's just, is what it is right now. And Israel did then continue
to go way overboard in their prosecution of the war and Goss and then not to mention what's
happening in the West Bank with the settlements, not to mention the fact that they're invading
Lebanon right now and then we did get into a war with Israel like that the Secretary of State said we got into because
Israel was going to attack first if we didn't do it. So like all of so sure there might have been some anti-Semitic
Did he say a Jewish conspiracy? Yeah, he's saying like APEC having profound influence over Democratic primaries is not it is not some like anti-Semitic
Jewish conspiracy. It's just the truth
It's an accurate reflection of events
So, you look silly when you try to say, oh, no, no, this is some classic anti-Semitism.
Most people who are knowledgeable enough who understand exactly what's going on will look
at you and go, you're insincere.
You're a bad faith actor.
That stuff makes sense.
And that's not good.
I'm not okay with that.
I'm not.
It's bad.
They should not do anti-Semitic stuff.
But their general critique of the lefty, anti-and right, like anti-Israel commentators,
commentators like has borne out in the real world. And so I don't
understand. I don't know what pro-Israel people expect. Like
there's been a huge sea change. Just look at the polls of
voters. They're looking around. They're like, I am unhappy with
our late with the extent of our relationship militarily with
this country. I'm unhappy with this war. All of the
establishment figures want to kind of tamp that down. And
there are these other voices out there that have been speaking
about it. Well, obviously, they're going to gain influence. And
Shouldn't the debt shouldn't democratic politicians talk to the viewers of those shows that they're not all anti semites. They're just unhappy with how things are going in the world. I think you can do it.
She's so mad. Why is she so mad? I don't understand. Like he's making. He's making these points in a way like I don't know what Tim's like true opinion is here. Right. Like it's obvious that he is sympathetic.
You know, we've hung out before we've done a panel before like I think he likes me
He's does a show with cam obviously and that's probably another reason why he he knows
You know what I'm about from that reason for that reason, but like
He's literally trying to soft serve this
to her in a way where like
like using terminology and and goals that she will understand right and
And she's so mad like this is the nicest way that someone can have this conversation like friend to friend peer to peer
Co-worker to co-worker. This is the nicest version of this conversation
And most people will not have a conversation so nice
With this person if that makes sense most people would have been like what the fuck are you on about right?
So this what I don't like and I don't want to say that I think you're falling into a trap, but I do think that there are ways
One of my biggest critique of Democrats in the book and the thing I'm urging them to do is to get out there on offense to say what they believe
They should passionately argue against this war if that is what they believe if it's not that's different
But like they should passionately argue about it so that people listen to them
them. And so they have credibility on this. That doesn't require Hassan Piker. This idea
that this is part of the problem is I think Jeffery is doing that. Is Chuck Schumer doing
that or the 1228ers?
This is why you would not agree.
Chuck, not a new son came out there and was like, Oh, Israel's an apartheid state, then
he apologized for it.
They should ignore, but this is why they should ignore Hassan Piker. They should ignore Hassan
Piker at all.
Ignore him.
Ignore him.
Fine, fine, I'm not ignoring.
And, and, and condemn him, I think, if, I do not think it's hard, if you, listen, when
we were anti-Trump, right, the reason that we were anti-Trump is partly because-
He's mad because he previously undisputed dominance of liberalism, not cracking your
part of the vanguard, leading that.
Yeah, I mean, I think for her, it's a little bit different too, like, because there's different
kinds of liberalism out there, right?
Um, and, and, like, her version of liberalism is also like a very right-wing version of
it to. Because like most liberals, most self identifying liberals don't have this opinion.
This is a unique opinion. Most self identifying liberals, as Tim is trying to point out to
her, have completely dropped Israel. Like they have a very, very antagonistic opinion of Israel.
You know what I mean? So her anger, her resentment in this moment is actually stemming from the
fact that like, it's not just that liberalism is failing. It certainly is. But also, she's worried
that she might not have space in the party. Okay? I think that's what it is. She's worried that a
party that has me in the tent is going to not cater to her. It's going to cater to us.
And she's worried that she is going to be left alone, right? She doesn't want to be
part of the Republican Party any longer because the Republicans are gross. They're disgusting.
They say horrible things. They're stupid. We've seen this with like the Richard Hananya
and all these other like former white supremacists who are still kind of, I mean, who are still
white supremacists, but like, are no longer Republican, right? They're no longer MAGA because
they get like, they can't stand how unintelligent and how cultish, how crass the MAGA movement is,
right? And that's part of the reason why they move to the liberal side of things. That's the
the reason why they moved to the Democratic Party. And the Democratic Party is perfectly
happy to cater to these people, right? And they have catered these people in spite of
the fact that there aren't that many of them, right? This is not a real constituency. And
the Democrats have lost because they've catered to the never Trump Republicans. But that's
That's the reason why I think she's like flailing around because she realizes that she's going
to be the one that has to concede to my worldview.
She has to come to my side of things, right?
But she's only used to a lifetime of Democrats catering to her expectations or her being
totally in line with the Republicans until Donald Trump became this rude force that she
finds, uh, disgusting, you know,
cause he like love to be in lockstep with all the grossest people, uh, what gross opinions.
It's like the very fine people on both sides. It's the way he checks in with Tucker and the
right would argue this. Why is JD Vance cozy enough to them? Why do we condemn them? We
condemn JD Vance for cozying up too bad people for electoral reasons. And that I think,
Yeah, that's the problem. I'm not a bad person. As a matter of fact, if you were to pull,
I think, many Democrats and openly explain both of our worldviews and our background,
99% of them would probably say they identify with my worldview over yours. That's the problem.
You think I'm a bad person, but most Democrats would rather have someone like myself represent
their interests, and I do represent their interests, right?
Versus someone like yourself.
Here's the problem.
That felt to me like you're arguing yesterday.
I'm not saying this because you're out.
This is where the folks that are attacking me,
I just think I'm not,
I'm not arguing that they cause you up.
It's fine to go on and show an argument, to discredit them.
But what prompted all this was the idea that John Ossoff
has to condemn Hassan Piker.
You know what's funny?
I agree with your point.
Because Hassan Piker complimented him.
That's fucking insane. Fuck you is what John Ossoff should say.
John Ossoff should say, you know, I don't know what plus on Piker's whole is.
I don't know who that is. I don't know who that is.
Here's what my opinion is. I'm against this war in Iran.
I'm against this one. I'm against this. Oh my God. She's like,
this is crazy. What the hell? Why is she so mad?
What the hell have I done to her?
We appeared on a panel one time and I made one statement about William
Crystal being neocon and being responsible for the situation that we found ourselves
in and she has never let that go, huh?
Goddamn!
This is a common thread with people who we jokingly refer to as engaging in a son derangement
syndrome, right? Unfortunately, when someone decides they don't like me, they can't just
have like a normal level of disgust or not even disgust necessarily, but like a like
a normal level of, of critique. They go far beyond. And I think for most people, maybe
Maybe they also see that passion and think, okay, maybe this guy is bad.
I trust this person.
I trust this person's worldview.
So I'm going to trust their take and I'm going to hate him just the same.
But I think like, like this is not normal, right?
Like this is so, this resentment is so unbelievable that I think most normal people from the outside
would look at this and be like, I don't think this is a, you know, I don't really know
this is a song guy, but kind of feels like maybe you're a little too mad Trump administration
that's killing people in the streets. And that's what I care about. You want me to talk about
some streamer? Eat shit. That's what I think.
I was on your side. I was on your side on that point. It was the rest of it. It was last night.
It was last night listening to it being that the I do not think though, for electoral reasons,
they need to embrace this on that is different.
I never said embrace. I said talk to his audience talk to the people that listen to him and Joe Rogan and Theo
Sinko all these anti-war people know the answer. The question is would you have Joe Rogan on a campaign stop?
Would you advocate?
Would you advocate for?
Any politician that has the opportunity to have Joe Rogan on a campaign stop would you say no to that?
I think we both know the answer to that question. No, we they would fucking absolutely
absolutely, absolutely get on board with that. Not only is she totally on board with talking
to Joe Rogan and is a lot more open minded about literally talking to a guy who endorsed
Donald Trump and played a formative role in Donald Trump winning, right?
It just shows where her standards are.
Okay.
She likes Joe Rogan.
She is more comfortable with Joe Rogan than someone like myself.
Maybe it's part Islamophobia.
Maybe it's part because I am antagonistic to her worldview as opposed to Joe Rogan, who
is like at the end of the day, still a capitalist, right?
and is right-wing on many issues, that's what it is.
People, yeah, there's some anti-Semites there.
I hear that.
But you can do that without them.
Guess what, anti-Semites voted for Barack Obama.
Anti-Semites voted for George Bush.
Anti, like, gay haters.
But you don't have to court them.
Ant homophobes voted for George.
You don't have to court them.
Well, no, but you have to have a message.
Yeah, the voter, you have to have a message
for the people that listen to the shows.
You don't court them because of the anti-Semitism.
You don't court them because of the anti-Semitism.
You don't have to listen to the shows.
It's like, oh, let's make sure
that the people in McLean, Virginia that go to the parties
in DC are mad.
It's like, who cares what those people think?
Talk to the real Americans that are flocking to these shows
that are upset about what is happening in the world.
Have a message for them.
Talk to them.
Go on with five words to talk to them.
And if the host says anti-Semitic stuff, say no.
I don't fucking believe that.
I don't believe the Jews are behind Charlie Kirk's mortar.
I don't believe the Jews control the weather.
I don't believe that the Jews, like there's a lot of,
okay, whatever.
I don't believe that we deserve 9-11.
You can say all that on those platforms,
but also say to people that, you know what I'm mad about?
I'm not mad about some streamer
and something he said three years ago.
Like what I'm mad about is this war that we're in right now.
And I think that there are a lot of people out there
that feel like the Democratic leaders
are totally out of touch with their anger right now.
And I think that this kind of fight just exacerbates that.
I agree with that particular point
about it exacerbating it.
And so, again, I think that we should separate the idea
of like Democrats should be going hard against this,
where they do need to be more aggressive.
They do need to speak to a wider audience.
I do not think they need to do that with Isan Piker,
with, and I do not think they,
and I think they should be very clear
to separate from the anti-Semites as they do it.
Because otherwise what you are doing
is ginning up anti-Semitism.
And I understand, and last night, I was like-
Here's the part of the problem.
Can I, we're gonna do this.
I'm just gonna say it.
I am don't support anti-Semitism.
I think there's a lot of anti-Semitism out there.
I think that a lot of the people who are pro-Israel
and pro-this-war weaponized us though.
And it's like, well, it's too anti-Semitic.
If I would have said a month ago,
that Israel is weaponizing social media
to try to brainwash people,
you would have said that was anti-Semitic.
A lot of big visual defenders would have said
that was anti-Semitic.
Well, then B.B. went out and said
that he wants to do that with TikTok.
He sees TikTok as a weapon.
If you would have said that Israel,
where the Israel's going to drag America into a war that has we have nothing to do with
based on their influence over our political lead. I think it's really funny that she just
keeps saying like, no, but I think he's anti-Semitic. I think he's anti-Semitic. It's pretty crazy.
I'm not. I stand on this at my level, at my size. I might be one of the only remaining
commentators, again, at my size, right? I might be one of the only remaining commentators
that actively talks about the dangers of anti-Semitism. I can't think of a single other anti-Israel
commentator that does that. Like seriously, a professional political commentator that is
anti-Israel and still spends a great deal of time.
Oh no, no, no. I mean, I'm saying like at my size, right? I mean, I guess maybe Mehdi Hasan.
right?
Like, just think about it. Think about it. Like, at my size, I would say like it's Candace
Owens, Tucker Carlson, maybe not even Nick Fuentes, but let's say for the sake of argument,
like Nick Fuentes, like there are, there are even people who aren't anti-Semitic, who are
just simply anti-Israel that don't spend this amount of time fucking, as Kyle likes
to say, throat clear about how not anti-Semitic they are, right?
There's two months ago, people have said that's an anti-Semitic thing to say. And now we're
doing that. And so I'm with you. I'm with you. I'm not for anti-Semitism, but what happened
and in Michigan is a tragedy, people should be clear eyed, but also this notion that like that
there's a lot of folks out there that are trying to police the rhetoric around this because they
don't want Israel to be criticized in the full, full view of their actions. And there's a lot of
criticism of Israel that is made. See, it seems making a good point. So now she has to like withdraw
and then go back to the previous points about like why she thinks I'm anti-Semitic. So
So here's where the smear campaign moves into quotes again.
I heard it right now.
And I just think that this, again, it goes back to who you're empowering.
I think that if you try to do, like, on one side, Israel is starting a war in Iran and
getting us into this quagmire and hurting people's lives.
And then on the other side, you have people that are saying things about Israel.
And like, you're out there and you're like, I don't like the way that you're talking.
And that's the thing that you're very passionate about.
And then you're not that passionate.
you're like, well, I don't, I don't know, you know, we have to,
Bibi's a partner and we're going to work with them.
We'll see how, you know what I mean?
Like there's a disconnect with people.
And I think, again, you're empowering the actual anti-semites.
I think you're empowering the actual anti-semites by not being just clear
eyed about the real threat here.
How is this different?
This isn't one of the sort of the main thing.
And this is, this is tough, but I'm going to put it out.
Funny how it seems so easy to defend you with logical points, uh, where she
seems like the illogical one.
Yeah.
Out there.
How is it different?
Our objection to Trump
Yeah, when he showed up like and this is where I don't when people are like it's locker room talk
I was like
You lock a room talk. No, it's not like the way they tried to downplay they she vote for Donald Trump in 2020
Because someone was saying she switched parties in like 2025 or something. I don't know if that's the case
That would be unbelievable. It's like also comparing me to Donald Trump is unbelievable, man
is so crazy like I oppose everything he stands for what are we doing is going
against her personal bias against you
now she never voted for Charles so she's like a 2020 ever jumper
In no way she switched parties with Washington Republican.
Yeah.
Libs giving up.
Yeah.
That's the other side of it.
Um, Will Stakin, uh, says fascinating reaction from Bull work online paid YouTube subscribers.
This debate over a Sompiker.
Most comments are defending.
Piker.
Um, there was also the co-founder of the org behind the no kings protest from indivisible.
Leah Greenberg says personally, I'm team big tent, but if we're going to start kicking
people out of the party on brands, slash moral grounds, I would like to nominate one, the
foreign policy team behind the Gaza genocide and two, every dim former elected staffer
who takes a cushy job with an overtly evil company.
Okay.
So the, the no Kings protest is on our side.
Um, and not only that, but because this has been unbelievably unproductive for
all these people, um, there are some who are at least smart enough to retreat.
Yo, we can't tip you anymore.
Yes, you can by subscribing for $6 or for free.
Yeah. Trey Easton finally retreating says all big 10 and a Sompiker discourse need to be, uh,
needs to be concluded by five PM on the East coast. We've all been very annoying.
No one's convinced anyone of anything and the weather's too nice to keep this up.
Thank you for your attention. This matter.
right? That's it. Can you prepare a video with the colleagues of everything she's
lot about a demanding player for correction. Get a good opportunity to introduce your actual views.
Oh chatter.
I've done that so many times throughout my career and the very fact that you don't even know that
those videos exist out there perhaps is the greatest demonstration that doing that doesn't work.
Does that make sense?
She says she vote for Ted Cruz over Mum Donnie.
Oh, buddy, that's on Tech Talk. Ranked choice voting.
So Ron Cuomo, Tucker and Ted Cruz.
Cuomo.
Cruz.
So Ron.
Tucker.
That's crazy.
Sarah Longwell from the top rope.
This is another one of Destiny's Dick Riders, by the way.
Interestingly enough, so many of the destiny dick writers are, you know, they're aligning themselves with someone who voted for a Democrat the first time last year or two years ago.
Hmm. I wonder who the spoilers are is what I mean, right?
Who are the real, who are the spoilers here?
Who are the spoilers here?
here. People who spend a great deal of time defending Israel, people who spent the last
three years defending Israel unconditionally thinking that that was going to lead them
to prosperity and an elevated platform and only now have to sometimes cower in shame
for their previous positions, you know, who are, who found themselves in, in long and
complicated legal battles due to horrible things they've done to people, specifically women,
and their fan base, or the guy who was uncompromising in his positions for the last decade plus,
who now happens to be the voice that represents the moral majority, the moral center of the party.
Not the politicians of course, but the party's base of support.
Very strange.
At a certain point, these guys, the sex pestany fans,
At a certain point, you would expect them to just like get tired of being on the wrong side of every fucking argument.
All right.
Very strange.
So, gotta be a fetish at this point, like consistently being on the wrong side and being
on what they previously assumed was the popular position on every issue, like have some fucking
conviction, right?
How sad.
Anyway, yeah, it's insane that she would rather vote for Andrew, Gropa, Cuomo, Radna, Zora,
and so on and so on as the goal to say that she thinks your locker room talk is disqualifying.
At a certain point, you'd expect, no, we've been saying this for six years now, it'd be
too humiliating for them.
I don't think that's the case.
I think in the last seven years now, it's not even six.
It's been seven years at this point. A lot of people have left that community.
New people have cycled in, but a lot of people have been filtered out.
Some of them have carried on their resentment for me, but no longer watch Sexpestiny.
And I would go so far as say there's plenty of people who have actually found themselves here.
They just don't say it because it's embarrassing.
because the numbers don't add up. It just doesn't make any sense. I will say, however,
the ones that have, you know, stayed behind have become some of the most loyal Fedein,
right? The ones that have stayed behind, albeit a tiny miniscule number of people now, still
have like outsized influence and definitely work tirelessly to present themselves as
like this massive wave and are very agnostic about who they align with because they will
Align and link up with magga the link up with nazis because remember
Sexpestiny second in command dan stalkman went and talked to tom cotton right to try to get me
D platform that backfired spectacularly on on sexpestiny
But he did do that right because like these guys they have only one goal right which is to to fucking eliminate me
Yep, my friend is like that. He was a huge Destiny fan. Now he's just embarrassed. I have friends who were casual Destiny viewers and has dropped them completely to watch you now.
Yeah, I mean, he's a he's a he has a community of like serial Doxers and harassers and they can get very active, but but the numbers have actually diminished over the years.
years. So because of that reason, I think the impact is softened, but they still have
the capacity to go and align with much larger communities and like behave in this parasitic
way where they're like, if there's anyone out there, that's a larger community than
ours that's saying fuck us on, we're agnostic, we're only on the fuck us on position, we'll
lean into it. So they'll go in a line with the bulwark one day, and they'll go in a
line with neo-Nazis the other day, right?
Two ex-Republicans debating whether Demp should embrace Islam. There's a large contingent
of ex-Republicans on cable news who are seen as representing Democrats. Why are Demps okay
with these people representing them, but hesitant to include the left? I think we know why.
Yeah, they'll align with as many goals and as we go shit saw me they'll they don't care
They have one move. It's very sad. It's very strange.
I'll admit that for the longest time I stayed away from content because I associated with
Destiny I hated the way he spoke and I fucking aggressive pissed off he always was and I thought you were similar in that capacity
I finally watch your content. I was like, oh this guy's actually pretty chill unlike destiny whatsoever. Yeah, there's that element, too
Which is also very annoying unfortunately
Why are all your ops dorks I?
I mean, they're not just dorks. Some of them are, you know, rapist dorks.
What is this? This will certainly do a number on their approval. Surely this will improve their approval.
Republicans genuinely think you're cattle designed to suffer for their glory. Yeah, isn't this guy that's flipped parties, by the way? Am I crazy?
I covered this yesterday, but is this the guy that fucking used to be a right-wing Democrat and then became a right-wing Republican?
Fantastic stuff. There's a lesson to be learned there, but...
Some to consider, yes. He was supported by all the Centres and FlipMaga after they got elected. Nice.
All right. To you going on. How did it affect your...
This was Effie Phillips Staley talking about the impact that this community had on our campaign.
Campaign or not affect your campaign. If it's true that nobody actually watches this program, then...
Well, first of all, you wouldn't be here, and we wouldn't be talking about it, so it's
okay.
Well, then it would be no effect.
What was the effect?
The effect was there are two sides of it.
The first was the immediate, and frankly, I think surprising response by the chairs
of the Democratic Committees of New York's 17th District.
It was within an hour that this response that they put out was generated.
And I will say that the very first thing they quoted as evidence against Hassan Piker was
Fox News.
And that just blew my mind because to complain about all the things that people are saying
about Hassan Piker in this moment from a news organization that has advanced some of the
most hateful rhetoric about immigrants, about Hispanics, about
Muslims, about Jews, without any way of, you know, without
looking at that critically in relation to what they were saying
to me, which is to say that they were flamed. They were flamed,
like ratioed is the word that me as Gen X has just learned. And,
and I don't know that they actually expected that. I don't
know that they expected so many people
to see their statement as evidence of bias
within the Democratic Party, as evidence
of the kind of attacks that we're seeing right now
from Third Wave.
And that further disenfranchises people.
So the effect has been thousands of new followers,
so many comments, a major uptick in contributions.
And people saying to me, what they often say to me,
because I've been very transparent about my position
on Israel and Palestine, like, keep going, like, don't stop.
Like, you are saying the things that people want to hear.
And what I hope in the end, because I'm a Democrat,
I'm a progressive Democrat, is that the party learns
the lesson, right, that our job is to listen to the public,
the public, listen to the public, hear what they're saying,
represent the positions through a moral lens.
And when I say a moral lens, that means
we have to fight anti-Semitism, which is on the rise.
We have to fight Islamophobia, which is on the rise.
My goodness, when you think about the kind of violence
that's happening in our country with eyes
to kinds of discrimination, the bias, all these things,
like these are the things that we have to fight.
And frankly, when people reach out to me and they say, keep going,
this is what they're saying.
And the party near it, they seem to be very far from it at this point right now.
The only two hundred dollars away from reaching the 10 K goal.
Let's go.
Which is very baffling.
Yeah, and it seems like the big thing from the 2024 election was that
or the modicum was we need a bigger tent for the Democratic Party.
We need to bring in young people or what have you.
And I just wanted to pull up this article from the Bulwark
where they interviewed Jonathan Cowan, who's the founder of Third Way.
And he says, if people are really arguing that the price of winning
is becoming like a bigoted misogynist like a son piker, then I'll take not winning.
So it seems the the third way position.
That was the worst thing that they could have said, by the way, that was awesome.
That was such a saying the quiet part out loud moment, you know, it was so, it was, it was
so transparent.
Like they were just like, we'd rather fucking blow the shit up than, uh, than, than be anti-Israel.
You know, and it's ironic because you will blow the shit up if you don't fucking lean
into people like myself.
You did already.
But it was in 2024, saw his rise into power because people realized their lives are not
improving, not because he's being attacked by a bunch of censors, clowns.
All they did was expose themselves as genocidal, supporting free to the voters, Republicans
that established Democrats are the same.
10K reached.
Let's go.
Nice.
You might be the most misunderstood boy on the internet.
I'm not misunderstood.
I'm like a misunderstanding implies that it's like sincere, right?
I'm being professionally smeared.
I'm being professionally misunderstood by people who either don't care about what my
actual opinions are or by people who do know my actual positions are but seek to misrepresent.
I�m being professionally slandered.
For a very good reason, BDB chatter sending love to your stand for speech, already reached
70K views, hell yeah.

better job than those generic agencies.

If not the revolution, it will still be good for the American People of the United push

These are the people who truly want America to be stronger and better, so handsome, such

This time there's no global communist movement, no external aid.
We can only rely on ourselves.
If more people come to agree with these ideas in the future, could we also enter politics
and run for president representing the democratic party?
Oh, it's because I was wearing the mouth fit.
That's why I'm getting glazed on BDB.
Because I was wearing the Zhongshan suit.

This is all Iran is doing a major rally with Claire next Sunday.
I'm done.
He said to hold a rally in Queens to mark 100 days in office in New York seven
and in Claire Valdez's assembly district.
Those are made up comments.
Shut up Puerto Rican Puerto Rican vegan socialist.
Are you hating?
One more helicopter destroyed in Bahrain again.
Aftermath of a Ryan Droshrich to hit the US Army CH-47 Chinook at Camp Buring in Kuwait.
Goddamn.
Toasted.
Couple Band-Aids and fix that up.
Speed tape. Slap it on. It'll work.
Kuwait is where the hell he's got to rescue the pilots by the way. It's not destroyed,
it's just a bit sad. Yeah, true. Also, look at this.
I wore that in Syria. I took a lot of fucking muzzles.
Oh, I hope you're not muzzling. Oh, no. I feel you too.
You serious, sir? You're muzzling?
I think I'm in.
I'm in.
You got the problem?
No, no, no, no.
Me and my brother here are born in Texas, Muslim?
No, no, no, no.
Not that duck.
Cool.
You know, just proven the point that I was making earlier.
Right?
Twitter's oil gets pressed by an Army veteran and thought he was Muslim.
I wore the scarf in Syria.
I killed a lot of Muslims.
You better not be one or I'll kill you too, he says.
It's ironic cause like when I responded to someone that said those exact same
statements, there was a lot of anger.
You remember
I remember that's what you're supposed to do, right?
You're supposed to just eat it when someone says that to you.
you're supposed to be like, no, sir, we're not Muslim. I mean, obviously they're not
going to say anything in that situation. This guy's like very clearly insane.
I won't say how I feel about this. Cause last time I was honest about it,
a lot of like VTubers who claim to be veterans were fucking crying and demanding
I get banned and stuff, but this was an identical conversation that I had online.
An identical conversation directed at me.
Damn near identical.
Well, say what my response was,
but a lot of dumb fucks thought that that would be
an appropriate entry point into another case
of manufactured outrage.
And demands, demands that I get the platform
Interesting. Given that it's on Piker, Will, as he demonstrated in 2024, urges audience
not to vote Democrat, whose politics don't find, he doesn't find sufficiently pure.
I think regarding him as an ally is foolhardy to say the least. Now apply this logic to
every Democrat who refused to endorse Mamdani.
Hey son, to your subscriber, I'm very confused. Are you Mr. Cummings, Mr. Jhaad or Mr. Trump 2.0? It will be helpful to clarify.
The recent media has been telling me different things. I'm all of it, dude.
All the above.
This person, Shannon was a Sampak. This is a war for a third party candidate of Democrat
nominees, Gavin Newsom. Remember that Park is not a Democrat, but a millionaire who makes
money by fomenting political discord. You're right. Democrats should stay away from, uh,
the anti-Israel position and that's how they'll win the son is campaign for and promote over
For 20 different Democrats in the beginning of 2026, you on the other hand said you'd
vote for Jeffrey Epstein if he ran as a Democrat. This is in response to Hutch. He thinks the
Democratic party is the second most evil institution in the world. He has 99% of elected Democrats
refusing to go on a stream is not what canceling means. He's toxic. Why would any mention them
in a competitive seat be seen cozying up to him? Law to which I co retweeted and said,
This is why there's a lot of worry from some in the party.
They don't want me working to primary bad Democrats and replacing them with a thousand
Zoran style left-wing candidates.
Guys please stop talking to him.
He's irrelevant even though I'm going to spend the rest of my time talking about him.
Please, please, um, anyway, all right, we did that.
Is there a Matthew thing we're gonna watch? Yes. Matthew had a conversation with my professor
Chiang called you China's Nostradamus. You had three famous predictions in 2024 that
Trump would get elected, that he would start a war with Iran, and that he would lose a
war with Iran. Iran clearly has the strategic advantage. I think the next step in the escalation
matter is that Trump will sit in ground forces. Nikki Hay was key to your prediction about Iran.
You said Trump would pick her as his running mate, but he didn't pick her. I think that
the problem with education is that it focuses too much on facts, too much on rigor, and not
not on imagination. Too much on facts. Do you hear yourself? Just trying to control what you say now.
The critics might say they're using you as a propaganda.
It is possible. I'm a useful idiot.
And I suspect that there are many entities around the world
who would like to amplify my message, including the trans government.
Hold on, hold on.
You don't call yourself Professor Jiang on your YouTube channel.
I do now, but when I first started out,
you go way back to my early lectures.
It doesn't matter when you first started out.
You do call yourself Professor Jiang and you're not a professor.
What is your big prediction now for 2026?
We'll see what happens. We can test it out at the end of the year.
Back in 2024, Chinese-Canadian educator, Shui Qing Jiang, posted a video on his YouTube
channel Predictive History, where he laid out three big predictions.
Donald Trump would win the 2024 election, the US would then go to war with Iran, and
ultimately the US would lose that war.
Since then, the self-styled professor who says he uses game theory to analyze the past
and predict future geopolitical events has become an internet sensation, and has even
been dubbed China's Nostradamus. But he's also faced some criticisms over his predictions
and many would say pretty out there conspiracy theories. Two out of three of Jiang's big predictions
have come true. But how much of that is his own geopolitical foresight? And how much of
it simply comes down to luck? How much does the Chinese government control or even influence
what he says, what he predicts? I decided to not just speak to Shui Qing Jiang, aka Professor
Yang about Iran and the state of the world. I don't like the way he hit that. Okay, that's
Mr. Professor Predictive History to you, Mehdi. Unbelievable, he hit the fucking air quotes.
He's the professor in my heart. But also to challenge him a bit. Here's our interview.
Shui-Chun Jiang, thank you so much for joining me on Zeteo.
You have said you use game theory to predict future geopolitical events.
For those who have never heard of game theory, please do explain what it is
and how it helps you explain what's happening with Donald Trump and with Iran in particular.
Right, so game theory applied to geopolitics means that we see each individual nation state
as a player in a zero-sum game to maximize its individual interests.
And so each player would have its own characteristics, its own strengths,
and it would adopt an optimal strategy in order to win the zero-sum game.
So how does that apply in the Middle East right now?
Right. So the United States is attacking Iran,
and these two nation states have different strengths and weaknesses.
So, America has the world's greatest military.
It has aerial supremacy.
It has tremendous technology.
It has unlimited funding.
And so, Iran is adopting an asymmetrical strategy of holding the global economy hostage, meaning
that rather than attacking the United States directly, which you cannot defeat directly,
there's instead a controlled initiative of Homoos, which is strengthening the global economy,
And it's attacking the GCC nations, infrastructure of the GCC nations in order to force Trump
into the negotiating table.
So the CPC literally deported Chiang for spying in 2001-2002.
I don't get where Mehdi's Chinese government control angle is coming from other than raise
them in Orientalism.
Yeah, I don't know.
So that is the chemical warfare of Iran.
You've also predicted that the U.S., you have three famous predictions in 2024 that
Trump would get elected, that he would start a war with Iran, and that he would lose a
war with Iran.
Based on what you've seen over the past month, do you still stand by that prediction?
Yes, I do.
I think that after a month, I think that Iran clearly has the strategic advantage.
What I mean by that is that Iran is very clearly able to articulate its military objectives,
and it has a very clear strategy of how to obtain these military objectives, and it is
is working very hard and very meticulously
to obtain these objectives.
This is the opposite of America,
where Trump has failed to articulate an end goal.
And right now, it seems that the administration,
the Trump administration is unable to articulate
both a strategy and a purpose to the American public,
which is causing most Americans to not support this war.
It's also causing low soldier morale
among the American forces.
What do you think happens next, if slash when Iran wins?
Matthew doesn't really have a sincere inquisitive mode
and perhaps this guy doesn't deserve that,
but he has obliterate mode in my perceived ally mode only.
That's actually a really good fucking assessment.
And when he goes into obliterate mode,
it's, I mean, he is one of the best in the game for sure.
He is so fucking good at it.
And I will say, I think Professor John does deserve it. But, but yeah, you're right. There
are, there are a lot of instances, like there's certain positions that Mehdi has as an anti-communist,
right? Like he is just straight up an anti-communist. I don't know if he's like an anti-socialist
as well, because he does align a lot, but he is definitely anti-communist. So like whenever
foreign adversaries are brought up. He does the thing that, I like to call the blanket
like neutral moral values without factoring in to his consideration imperialism and its impact,
right? Like Western born instability and what countries might do in response towards that kind
of Western backed and Western born instability, right? Who cares about that? He's solid on every
subject. I mean, I like Matthew Hassan. What are you talking about? I love Matthew. I'm hung out
with them. I talked to him quite frequently. I'm just giving you an honest assessment. He is
perhaps the best debater and he's not like a like a debate pervert about it either. Zateo is a
fantastic operation. I was just telling you that like something that I've noticed with the way
that he operates like when it comes to all of the states, like state actors that are
outside of the American security umbrella.
He has almost the same smoke that he has for like America and Israel.
And I feel like sometimes it's like not as warranted, if that makes sense.
Cuba is a great example of this, which is like a country that we've like actively destroyed, right?
No matter what kind of, no matter what kind of like repression exists in Cuba,
which is marginally in comparison to like many other countries, including but not limited to the
United States of America, like applying, applying to Cuba the same standards that you would apply
to like the United States of America, even China, because like China is a little bit more appropriate,
because it's a totally sovereign nation-state that is a behemoth of a country now, you know,
and can stand on its own two feet, regardless of, like, how aggressively America might want to
destabilize it. Like, doing that same, like, well, what do you, what do you say about, like,
you know, your critics that say you're engaging in tremendous repression? It's like, well, they've
been in war, right? They've been in war for the last 60 years. And they've been, they
didn't, you know, they didn't invite this war. It was totally unjustifiable. And yes,
of course, like certain civil liberties are going to be taken away in an effort to maintain
stability. And even then, all things considered, I think like Cuba's repression is especially
in comparison to other foreign adversaries and even compared to like the United States
of America or England is like totally marginal.
Right. So even though Iran has the advantage right now, we still remember that America
is the world's greatest empire. It has a lot of resources.
a Jiang knows every question Matthew will ask before the interview. True. He fucking predicted
it, except I don't think he really did. Because if he had predicted what this interview was
going to look like, you probably wouldn't have done it because I could have told Professor
J. Long not to do this interview at all. Okay.
It has a lot of firepower still not used. So, um, um, I think the next step in this
is that Trump will send in ground forces.
So over 5,000 Marines and soldiers have been dispatched to the Middle East.
This is already on top of the 50,000 American soldiers already stationed in the Middle East.
And most military analysts expect that the Americans will launch an amphibious assault
in order to control the ship of Homoos.
Now there are several options available to Americans in order to control the ship of Homoos.
The first option is to control Cark Island, which is the oil depart of the Iranians, 9% of Iranians oil exports depart from Cark Island.
Then you have Kassim Island, which is opposite the sort of Homoos, and then there's a naval base further down the coastline.
And so these are the three options that the Americans have.
have. And it is unclear which option the Americans will ultimately choose. But given the track
record of the Marines, we can exclude Professor Jung has a cult. I swear to God. No, like,
you can, you can literally pick apart every single thing that he has said. And people
will be like, I just remember his high notes and I don't give a fuck. Okay. Like you scratch
the surface of his analysis. I'm entertained endlessly by Professor John. Okay. I love
how much he predicts history. Okay, I'm a fan. But it's unbelievable how much people
hang on every fucking word and they get mad at me when I'm like, dude, some of this stuff
is insane. Some of this stuff is fucking unbelievable. And people should be like, what the fuck are
you saying? He predicted he predicted that Trump will lose is like, okay, man, you know,
so did I. Well, what does that? What does that say doesn't mean anything? Like so did
many other people, okay?
I expect the Marines to have an early success.
The problem with the strategy
and the problem with a murderous overall strategy
is what happens next?
How do you maintain control over the territory
that you've claimed?
The reality is that the Iranians
have been carrying this battle for about 20 years.
They developed this very effective
instrumental warfare strategy of using drones
missing missiles from a far, uh, hidden in underground bases to, um, uh, hit and strike,
uh, American assets around the Middle East.
It's almost like a real warfare.
And historically, I can't take it seriously without a fucking white board that he's constantly
turns around and says, okay, and then writes what word he was just saying previously.
Like I need that.
You know what I mean?
He loses a big part of his impact when he is not sitting in front of a white board.
Power has had great difficulties in containing guerrilla warfare. So unfortunately,
the Americans don't have a long-term strategy of how to win this war. Trump is still hoping for a
quick strike, a knockout punch. Any beliefs that the American Marines can deliver this knockout punch.
Liking this video? Don't just watch, hit like, share, and subscribe to the channel to predict
what color big he'd go to war with along. But that wasn't based on geopolitical insights or game
theory. People who follow American politics or world color bigs could have guessed that. I think
I and many others were warning that Trump could win in 2024 and that he would escalate with Iran
as he did in his first term when he killed Hassan Soleimani.
Right, so I think that if you've been following the news very closely, then it was actually pretty
straightforward to make these three predictions, right? Because in Trump's first term, as you mentioned,
Trump did have a history of escalating conflict with Iran. So the biggest escalation was when
Trump was assassinated because of Soleimani. And quite frankly, America in Iran should have gone to
war during that time. But because of the escalation efforts on both sides, we prevented World War
three during that time. But Trump was under tremendous pressure from his allies and from
his donors to start a conflict in the Middle East. So if Trump had had one a second term,
then he would have started the conflict. I was confident that he would start a conflict
if he had one in 2020. But fortunately, he lost. And so that question then was, what
is the likelihood that he would get a second term when he went in 2024? And then as I watch
the news, it seemed pretty obvious to me that the Democrats were hopeless, that they that
they were not delivering on the property. Yeah, he won me back. He won me back. My goat,
My God, he predicted that I would fucking fall for him again, even without the white
board.
There were a lot of issues.
For example, what's happening in Gaza, the one Ukraine that was making American voters
disillusioned with the Democratic establishment.
And so I thought that Trump would have a very good chance of winning 23-24.
And if he won 23-24, I think there's a very strong likelihood that he would attack Iran.
And so all three predictions have panned out.
Just on your predictions, I just want to be clear here.
Nikki Haley was key to your prediction about Iran.
You said Trump would pick her as his running mate,
and as vice president,
she would pressure Trump into war with Iran.
She's a notorious whore.
But he didn't pick her.
And his current vice president, J.D. Vance,
is widely seen as a skeptic of this war.
So you admit you got that wrong?
Yes, absolutely.
So I was thinking of what Trump's electoral strategy
would be in 2024.
And I think that if he picked Nikki Haley,
this would be trying to boost to his campaign
because Nikki Haley would be very popular
among the O'Conn's in Washington, D.C.
She would also be very popular
months of urban white woman that was key to Biden's victory in 2020.
So I made the prediction that he would pick Nikki Haley.
But at the same time, I was actually sure about it because I also felt that JD Vance
also had a good opportunity to be selected.
And I also said during my lecture, make the prediction that Nikki Haley would be his running
mate, that depending on whether or not he picked Nikki Haley or JD Vance, this would
determine how we can foresee or understand Trump's second term.
And so if he had to make it Haley, then he would have been completely full.
He would, he would have been fully committed into the new card project of region change
throughout the Middle East of supporting Israel of establishing American imperial power throughout
the world.
He didn't think that he had, instead he picked the complete opposite, who is JD Benz, who
was, who was American first, who has always been skeptical of American, uh, over, over,
over.
Okay.
This is where he's wrong.
Okay.
I mean, obviously he was like literally wrong in his prediction, but he's also just
wrong about JD Vance. And the reason why I say this because he's just totally off page.
JD Vance is not a real human. Like he doesn't have true convictions. He's just a chameleon.
Right? Like the reason why we think of JD Vance as like someone who's, I guess, anti-interventionist
It's not because he actually has demonstrated any sort of anti-interventionist values.
He's just Peter Thiel's blood boy.
Yeah, he is an opportunist, for sure.
So
Professor Zhang had his class, Reed Hillbilly Elegy.
It's not even that big, he also picked Tosy Gabbard to be his director of national intelligence.
And so these are the two major skeptics of this war in the Middle East.
And what I will say about picking these two individuals is that it shows that Trump has
an off-ramp strategy, where if this war goes sideways and the American public in his up
in arms and he's losing the polls, then Trump may decide to pivot back to America first
and have JD Vance and plastic Gabbard elevated in the illustration over individuals such as
Mark Rubio and Peter Hexeth. So that, yeah, I suspect he will blame Pete Hexeth if all
of this aside was as it is.
The funny thing about John is that he doesn't even try to defend himself when confronting
West Niko. Asked him how he uses game theory. He literally said, well, I don't really. When
Matthew says he's being used, John will just say, yeah, I could just be an idiot. It's
so funny. He's not even committed to the act. He's just vibing it all out. I think this
This is, I think Professor Zhang in a weird way is taking advantage of like orientalist
attitudes where they just think he's like a mysterious Chinese professor who is wise
well beyond his years.
Like I think Americans see, they hear the accent, they see the whiteboard and they're
just like, wow, like this guy is a sage.
It's funny because like for many Americans who haven't seen the world, I guess, like
Professor Zhang's attitude is not unique to say the least.
He's just like a, like a Chinese aunt.
A lot of Chinese boomers have similar insane opinions, like and have moments of profound
clarity paired up with like totally insane opinions.
It's like the unks, okay?
It's like the unks from Bangladesh, right?
Or an Iraqi Unk, okay?
You talk to an Unk from Iraq, he is going to give you the most complex assessment, simplified,
like Uber drivers, you know, like people like that, exactly.
They're gonna, they're gonna explain to you everything.
You're like, oh my God, you are so fucking brilliant.
Like, why are you driving an Uber?
You said you were, you know, a chemical engineer, like how the fuck did this happen?
Because a lot of Americans don't realize that like, I would say that like the base level
of education elsewhere is just far better than the average American.
And by virtue of not being from America, you're just not, you're not as sheltered.
You have a much better, much deeper understanding of the way world events unfold, okay?
It's not unique.
I mean, I even benefit from that to a certain degree, right?
My perspective is guided by the fact that I grew up in Turkey, so I have a very different
attitude about American imperialism and endless ceaseless militarism than the average American
does.
Turner does. Okay. It's, it almost comes across as profound, but I swear to you, there are
a lot of people, uh, there, I don't know. They're, you're saying he grew up in Canada
and he went to Yale. Yes. Sure. Fine. But like, obviously you spent a good deal of time outside
of America as well. So that's what I mean. My point is there are a lot of people like
this out there and people if you don't pay attention to like everything that
they're saying you're gonna be like this is the most brilliant person of all
time
where does China fall into all of this you're a Chinese Canadian you're based
in Beijing China clearly stands to gain from a failed US war with Iran how
many how much of your views are reflective of China's views try the
Chinese government's views, the CCP's views. Right. So the official Chinese commerce party
line is that China is committed to global peace and to
He said Chinese Communist Party. Red flag. Flag on the play, Professor Zhang.
Bruh. That's a bra moment. Bruh.
Global trade, the benefits all. China wants a win-win globalized system in which people
trading peacefully, and which everyone is committed to world peace. And so China has come out
locally, because in both Iran and the United States, the United States are starting this war,
but also Iran for attacking the GCC energy infrastructure. Remember that China relies
heavily on Qatar, liquefying natural gas, as is the case with other countries in Europe.
So China looks at what's happening in the Middle East, and China, I think, is working very hard
diplomatically to come to an agreement. Unfortunately, right now, China doesn't have much leverage
over either the United States or Iran. In fact, many analysts believe that this war
was started in part to economic strangle China because China depends on a lot of its economy,
sorry, a lot of its economy is based on accessing cheap energy from overseas, specifically the
GCC. China imports 40% of its energy from the GCC. And so if the GCC were to stop energy production,
And the Chinese economy would be in a lot of trouble.
And this would give Trump a lot of negotiating leverage
over China in the upcoming talks scheduled for mid-May.
And I believe that what's going to happen
is that these Chinese are extremely
climatic and very business-orientated.
And I think that Trump and China will sign a landmark deal
where China agrees to buy a lot of energy from North America.
You're full of praise for China's role
in trying to get peace in the Middle East.
Here's what I don't get.
You were caught filming protests by Chinese workers,
famously in 2002 as the freelance journalist at the time.
You were suspected by the Chinese government of spy. You were deported from China reporters without borders protested your deportation at the time
How did you get back into China? And why is it some of your critics say you are so little to say about China's role in all of this
Geopolitics is it because you're not allowed to currently right so
God damn then
Have the chat of saying Chinese by other half fallen gong. Yeah
I
I think it's the secret third thing where I am going to listen to Professor Jong in his own words
and and take it at face value and say it's the spirits talking to him, which is what his assessment
is, right? That's what he says is going on. When I started as a young journalist, I was a contract
by PBS to do a documentary on China's WQ entry.
And Piker Brock has any service?
A Chinese uncle is speaking.
Listen and learn, exactly.
Not everything needs a reaction.
One major issue about China's WQ entry, of course,
is worker rights.
And at this time in China, there was a major restructuring
of the state-owned enterprise system.
So I was dispatched to northeastern China
to film a worker protest.
Unfortunately, the place was swimming with police spies.
And I was arrested and interrogated for two days.
I was held in common at NATO for 48 hours,
which is the maximum by Chinese law.
And I found a confession saying that I was a reporter
and working in China illegally as a reporter
and the decision was made to deport me
without charging me with any crime.
And so I was allowed to come back into the country,
but I was deported.
So that was the story.
If they suspected you being a spy,
how did they let you back in?
China's not known for being that trusting.
They suspected me of being a spy,
But after a 48 hour investigation, after doing a thorough background check on me,
they concluded that I was not a spy.
And I was a journalist working to film in a worker protest, but it wasn't just 2000.
I don't understand why you spend time working against this guy.
Okay.
First of all, calm down.
Okay.
I'm not going after your comfort, uh, professor.
That's number one.
Number two, I'm just fascinated with him.
He's a crank and I like cranks.
I'm fascinated with cranks.
Okay. Jesus Christ. That's it.
In 2017, we checked, you wrote op-ed for CNN.com, headline, China's media enables tyranny and
corruption. In that piece, you praise the US media as the world's free speech defender
of last resort.
Oh yeah, this guy's out of control. Okay, never mind. I went back. I'm flip flopping
Now my professor Chong takes, okay?
Nope, never mind, never mind, he's out, red flag, that's another bra moment.
Bro.
Said in China, power trumps truth, and China's Communist Party, you said, maintained its
iron grip on power by controlling what's said in the media and what's taught in the
classroom.
Do you stand by those views from less than a decade ago?
So in 2017, when I was asked by CNN to write an op-ed, I did stand by those views at that
time because like everyone else, in 2016, when Donald Trump won the election, I thought
this would be very bad for American democracy because he was clearly not a believer in free
speech. He called the news media fake news. And so I wrote the op-ed for American audience
saying like the greatest treasure, the greatest wealth of America is the First Amendment,
the right to speak whatever you want. And I conscious that that with China, we're not
to say whatever you want, where you are very much monitored by the government. Even today,
I do not have a Chinese online media presence. I do not say anything online. I do not talk
reporters in from China, because I'm conscious that whatever I say online could be used against me.
But hold on. They allow you to be on this show. They allow you to be on YouTube. You get past
the great firewall that you criticized in that CNN piece. How come? Look, the reality is that
the best way to understand my situation in China is I'm essentially a Martian on earth,
talking to Martians back at home in March. Like, I'm not part of the Chinese system. I'm on YouTube,
which is blocked in China. I speak English. How they allow you to be on YouTube? This is what
I'm not understanding. If you're blocked in China, why do they allow you to become? You're
You're very prominent now. You're famous in the West. I'm sure the Chinese.
Okay. So this is what I mean. Like, I don't think Matthew understands, like the Chinese government doesn't give a fuck if you're on YouTube.
Okay. They just don't care.
Like, I think a lot of people, a lot of people think that the Chinese government is like far more invested in like trying to manipulate Americans into loving China or whatever.
I think they should do that for the record. Okay. They should and they don't and they
don't to a degree that is unironically self-defeating. Like they have the capacity to fucking export
so much culture. They have the manufacturing base for it. They have all of the wealth for
it. They have the resources for it. And I'm certain that they have, I mean, they have
so many people, there are people who would love to make this happen. And they're just
absolutely dog shit at propaganda. Okay. So what's funny about Matthews question is, he's
like, why would China allow you to do this? It's like, well, I wasn't fucking China. I
was able to stream on Twitch. They don't care. Everyone has VPNs. Like they, they don't necessarily
give a shit about people utilizing VPNs. They might crack down on it at certain points.
I'm sure they have, right? But it's mostly just like a known thing that the average person,
if they want to enter the Western internet, like enter, escape the firewall, the Chinese firewall,
they can do so. It's not like a controlled substance at all.
China, for all of its, I guess, faults and failures, whatever, genuinely only cares about China
and Chinese people. To a degree that, in many instances, like I said, is self-defeating where
They literally do not care about anything else.
Like they don't care about, like the LaBoubou stuff, for example, there was a lot of people
that wrote about how, you know, LaBoubous are a way for China to do like soft power.
Like they're finally exporting their culture.
It's like, no, they were just trade maxing and that happened to hit.
Okay.
Like that's it.
Same with like Blacksmith Wukong.
Now that might change because Xi Jinping did bring out Blacksmith Wukong,
Laboubous, and also the movie Nuzha to the Chinese blockbuster for children
in his annual state of the address last year, implying that like they might actually pivot
to doing like more exports, more cultural exports. But
But overall up until this point, it's just like pure, pure coincidence and pure luck
that things have popped off.
He's like national national addressing of the state like the he does it annually.
I don't know.
What is it called?
Like the annual state of the union.
I don't fucking know something like that
But I
Think they're just confident about their own culture. It's not that they are oblivious
No, it's not that they're confident about their own culture necessarily. They just don't care about selling shit
They'll they will sell to the Western world what the Western world demands
okay
But they don't actually
They don't actually have any like additional ambitions
The reason why I'm bringing this up is because like if you're living in China
They care far more about you being on Chinese platforms and then potentially violating the rules or potentially
You know criticizing the party can't do that criticizing
Xi Jinping can't do that
You can criticize local issues and people do it all the fucking time
But you can't just like shit on Mao Zedong or or any of the leadership
You can't do that. That's like they will ban you they will ban you for social media. There's also a lot of like weird
There's also a lot of weird restrictions around, like even Chinese celebrities, right?
Like a Chinese celebrity could have a high profile relationship, for example.
And then at a time when China wants to, you know, increase the birth rates, right?
That Chinese celebrity will fall out of favor after getting into, I mean,
having a breakup or something, right? Like going through a breakup.
And when that happens, they just erase you. They just erase your your personhood pretty much from social media. It's like it's crazy
Make no mistake. I find that to be very strange and and very restrict away
They don't like throw you in jail or anything, but they will literally just ban you from social media
And they'll wipe you
Okay
It's
Yeah, yeah, not IRL just just on the internet just on like and not even on the internet necessarily just on
Chinese internet
It's like like almost like a state-enforced
cancel culture and
Not only is it like a like a state-enforced case culture, but it's also
also like it's it's for unnecessary shit for like things that you and I would consider
to be super silly, right? Yeah, they'll wipe you for scandals. But sometimes what you consider
to be a scandal could be like something that's not actually a scandal, right? So that is
like some of the the restricts so but it's all entirely internal it's all in
China because that's all they care about so a guy like professor jung especially
because he's talking about like foreign policy you can do that every fucking day
you can even do that what professor jung is doing he could do on Chinese social
media as well even as long as he's not like super critical of Chinese foreign
policy, then he can even do that on Chinese social media. But at the end of the day, they
just don't give a shit, you know? They don't care. I will say, however, at least from my
conversations that I've had with people that have lived in China for a very long time,
both Westerners and also Chinese netizens, is that at times, they're very responsive
to American intervention, right? They're very responsive to American intervention. So like,
whenever America starts saber rattling against China, they clamp down on any kind of dissent.
So ironically enough, the way we move here against China ends up having impact
on the day-to-day existence of Chinese people. So crackdowns do actually happen. Like during
COVID, there was a lot of state enforcement, a lot of state repression, right? As a matter
of fact, if you've done any like Marvel Rivals ads or anything like that, I mean, many of you
probably haven't, but if you've done any like ads where the main subsidiary is like a Chinese
company that will very clearly tell you, you can't say anything about COVID, like anything.
And at first, when I saw that restriction, I thought, oh, I guess they're like super sensitive
to like racism, right? Oh, you know, COVID is a Chinese virus, whatever. No, it's not that. It's
just they literally do not want you to talk about COVID at all. And it's like a holdover from back
when there were a lot of criticism on social media during the COVID zero policy that they were
implementing. And it was more so like the uncertainty that people had about like when they would be
able to go outside and how terrified they were about that. But ultimately, ultimately, it's just
so if we're chilled or also chill, yeah, I think they're just very responsive to what they perceive
as like American interference. Because when America was like constantly talking about like
China's COVID policies, when America was talking about China's COVID policies, there was a lot
of people writing about how restrictive China was and all this shit. And they were trying to
have access to people in China to criticize the Chinese government about their restrictive
COVID policies. They were super sensitive about that. And they were actively enforcing these
social media bans. And some of that repression stays behind. A lot of people have told me that
that China was like a lot more open
from like the 2012 period until like 2019.
And it got post COVID when there was tremendous prosperity
at the same time.
There was a lot of development that came after COVID,
but there was also a lot of repression
as far as speech goes during the COVID period
that didn't like fully open up again
as it was back in like 2012.
It's the same in Cuba, same political consequences
because of the US policy, and then the US
then turns around and uses it as justification
for more bad policy, yeah.
But yeah, I think Manthee doesn't fully understand
like Chinese restrictions in general,
and I don't even fault them for it.
Let's be real, most Westerners don't get it.
I saw a video talking about your controversial bearing of a high-collar fashion style on
Hanfu style clothing.
You even make fashion political?
No, that's normal.
A lot of Chinese netizens don't like the Adidas track suit because it's not even like, it's
not, it's like resembling a bygone era of Chinese culture.
That's a separate thing.
And his government has noticed it.
Yeah, they hate those.
Well, most Chinese will have access to a VPN device and that's what I use in order to access
the internet.
You wrote for CNN that the Chinese government has built a great firewall to monitor and
control their citizens pursuit of truth.
Does China control what you say now?
China does not control what I say because again, I'm not talking to Chinese people.
I'm talking to...
Yeah, see, he's right.
Professor Zhang is actually right about this.
Like, he's not wrong about this.
He's literally right about this.
I know it sounds like defensive or whatever, but he's absolutely right.
I was in China, doesn't give a fuck.
You can even, you can even be on, uh, Chinese websites and, and talk about most of the
shit he talks about, like, you can literally just sit there and shit on America all day
every day.
No one's going to ever, the government's never going to say anything about it.
Atriach, Aiden and Doug Doug talked about that specific thing on their pockets.
The way they describe it is after hearing with a professor at a university is that
a lot of those strict rules are enforced by local governments.
They explained that the national government only provides a framework on what terms
be on apps and all that, but the local governments get to dictate how they hand out punishments on that?
Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of stuff that happens that is left to the localities. And then because
we still look at China as this like fascinating, totally closed circuit country when it's not
very accessible, we just decide, even the social credit stuff is literally not a national
policy at all. It was never a national policy. It was attempted as a pilot program somewhere
and they never even implemented it, but people talk about it still to this day.
Anyway.
You Westerners.
Hold on. That's what most people would say is China's great benefit. They might see your critics
might say they're using you as a propagandist to come and say this stuff about Iran and U.S.
on behalf of China. That would be what your critics would say.
Look, the reality is that this is a fear and the genetic criticism that I've been contemplating
for the past three, four weeks. Because when I first started this YouTube channel,
like two years ago, I was expecting 5,000 viewers who would have a passion for learning,
who would be as engaged with literature and geopolitics as I was. And over the past month,
I've blown up all across the internet. And I don't think it's organic. But, but so I wonder if
there are some governments or some entities that believe that my message should be amplified.
It is possible. I'm a useful idiot. And I suspect that there are many entities around the world
who like to imply my message, including trans government, also including the Russian government,
including some aspects of the American government, including some people who are hostile towards war.
I appreciate your candor. You said you blew up on the internet. You did go viral over your Iran
predictions. But on your YouTube pages, people now start to equate themselves with you and familiarize
with your work. People have been slightly surprised to see some of your other stuff. You have a series
of lectures focused on secret societies where you argue the groups like the Ibn-Ahti, the Freemasons,
the Jezz. Okay, this part is, I mean, this is my gripe with Professor Jong, not my Professor Jong.
or at the center of world control.
People would say you sound kind of crazy
when you talk about the Illuminati.
It's the kind of thing you hear in Dan Brown novels.
Right, so I'm trying a new approach
to pedagogy and to scholarship,
which is speculative analysis.
So I went to Yale and I received
a very rigorous class of education.
I'm very happy and proud that I went to Yale.
But what I discovered in life,
as I stumbled through life,
is that what I was taught at Yale
doesn't really apply to real life.
People with the most rational logical arguments don't usually win.
And people who are the most progressed and most enlightened aren't usually the ones in power.
So I was determined just for my own personal benefit.
We have a new system, which will give me better insight into how power works in the world.
And so I started something called pretty history.
And the very idea of pretty history is this, how do we know?
He's literally saying, I went out in the real world and people are crazy.
So I just thought, I'll be crazy myself.
That's awesome. Oh God, how can you not love this guy, man? He says some, he leans into
some heinous conspiracy theories. Okay. But he does it in such a, I don't know how to
explain it, like non-threatening manner. Like, like look at his response.
Man at the outside was like, you tie everything back to insane conspiracy theories. What do
you have to say that? And he's like, yeah, a lot of people are crazy. I mean, I got my
classical education and, uh, you know, I realized there's just a lot of people out there who
is just nutty with it. So I'll be nutty myself. Yeah. He is very nonchalant, very unassuming
and also very endearing. And the thing that we're talking about is literally like Holocaust
revisionism, right? Like, it's insane stuff.
If our understanding of history is correct, and the answer is, well, we can make predictions based on our on our historical framework and using and seeing these predictions work out or not, validate our historical models.
So what I discovered is that if you have a combination of game theory, historical patterning, and esophology, then this gives you a pretty deep insight into how the world will turn out.
And secret societies are very much an important aspect of eschatology.
I'll come back to secret societies. A couple of things you mentioned there.
You said you were Yale. Just to be clear, your degree was in English literature.
Was it not Yale? Was it international relations or national security?
You're an English lit graduate and you're not a professor.
I know it's your YouTube moniker, but you're a high school teacher. You're not actually a professor.
Right. So when I went to Yale, I was actually a math and physics major.
major. I was a clear to math and physics major, but the young
department was very strong. And so I switched majors. So I
both I've actually both a math background as well as an English
background. That's why my system of analysis can seem strange to
people because I'm combining a multi dictionary approach to my
thinking.
That's my goat. That's my goat. He's so awesome. And I'm not
professor. I'm not a professor. But but I never said I was a
professor. It's the internet who call me hold on. You don't call
yourself, Professor Jiang on your YouTube channel. I do now, but when I first started out, if
you go way back to my early lectures. It doesn't matter when you first started out, you do
call yourself Professor Jiang and you're not a professor. Look, look, there's a guy on the
net who calls himself the God. Have you interviewed him yet and asked him why he calls himself
the God? I think I'm good friends with the radio has called Charlemagne the God, but
no one actually thinks he's a God. People actually think you're a professor. Just sticking
with your analysis. You just said speculative analysis. To many people that sounds like
you're just making it up. You're speculating. Look, I think that the problem with education
is that it focuses too much on facts, too much on rigor and then not on imagination.
Too much on facts. Do you hear yourself? It sounds, you said, I mean, too much on facts.
Look, look, I know this sounds strange. Shut up, Matty. What do you mean? He's cooking.
He's like, yeah, it's facts are secondary sometimes. No, John's being obtuse here. John's
just lying about now about being a professor also right there too much on facts. Okay.
Y'all are haters, bro. He won't be back over. God, he is my, he is my professor, John. He
is my professor. I'm, I'm obviously Dr. Jihad as you guys know, and he's professor John,
but there is a difference between facts and now I understand why that chatter said, can
we stop watching now right before this part? Oh, there was some Professor John Defenders
in the chat that were like, don't see the rest of this interview. I think it's good.
It's good to end it right here.
Right. Facts are what can be independently verified by other sources. Truth is a deep
understanding of the world that allows you to understand why things are the way they
are as well as well as make certain predictions. We used to be a people, a human species that
was very focused on truth seeking and that's why religion was such an
important part of our lives because God, prayer, was very important to help us
understand our place in the world, where we came from, what we're doing here, and
where we're going. And now we just focus on facts, on making sure that you can
memorize all the elements of the table, on making sure that you are...
about when you talk about secret societies I guess people want to say well where's the factual
evidence where's the evidence you said I think the Jesuits control the Vatican first of all
there's nothing wrong with Jesuits good people I know many of them second of all there's only
ever been one pope who's a Jesuit and he's gone so people would wonder like facts are important
to your evidence and people would say that it's not just fun and games when you're doing speculation
on YouTube they look at some of your rhetoric and they see that you don't just criticize Zionism
or Israel as many people legitimately do you talk about this pretty far-right concept of Pax Judaeca
A new world order centered around Israel. You have a video called Dawn of the Duke.
I think one of the craziest things he's done, and there's a lot, right? Like the Holocaust
revisionism, all this stuff is like very dangerous and cuckoo for cocoa puffs.
Pax Judega is another one of those things. But one of the funniest things he said,
and there's many of them, was when he said that the next era of great powers are going to be
Israel? And what was it? Like, it was all these countries that are going to rise from
the ashes of being dominated. I think it was like Japan, Israel, and was it Iran? No, I don't even
think it was Iran. Yeah, Israel, Germany, and Japan, those are going to be like the three major
powers in the world. It's funny.
Pax Islamica was great too when he said Iran is going to unite the world of Islam.
I'm still waiting for that, but you know.
Who's in which you seek to answer the question, why is it that Jews are so dominant? Surely you
understand why a lot of people think it best you're trafficking in pretty anti-Semitic tropes and at
worst you're a card carrying anti-Semite when they see that stuff. Okay well that is a very
strike accusation so can you please tell me what you work for Christian Science Monitor shut the
fuck up really? Dude this is the most fascinating guy of all time Christian Science Monitor what the
hell? I mean, Christian science monitor actually does great coverage. Like it is a well respected
institution. If it's the one that I'm thinking of. Yeah, it's, it's not like you, you might,
you might hear the word Christian science and think like it's bullshit. It's not. It's like
an actual legitimate operation, I was just curious as fuck what is going on. Yeah, it
was a research to global education innovation initiative at the Harvard Graduate School of
Education fellow the Royal Science of Arts. Nostradamus of China, all these criticize
predictions for relying on selective historical analogies. Speculative game three reasoning
and untestable assumptions. India today said, oh God, India today, haters said that his
geopolitical analysis glaringly do not feature Chinese foreign policy or internal problems
with China, even though he resides in the country under his career section towards the end.
He has appeared in the New York Times Chinese edition, China Youth Daily, Wall Street Journal,
chronicle of higher education. In 2003, he was allowed by Chinese officials to return to China,
where he decided to abandon frameless journalism and pursue public education instead.
If anything, it seems like he was a undercover spy against China, right? Like
Like, after graduation, he fell into a deep frustration and he failed to publish his own
book or get articles published in magazine.
I felt lost, angry, bewildered by the world.
I jumped from one job to another, never settled down, and eventually fell into severe depression
when I was almost 30, while suffering from depression, which continued for the next five
years.
In 2000, Zhang moved to Beijing, where he worked small stints as for the last journalist,
Zhang wrote for publications such as the American Christian Science Monitor and a Hong Kong-based
Far Eastern Economic Review.
In 2002, Jiang initiated educational reforms at Shenzhen Middle School.
In 2001, Jiang was contracted to conduct the undercover US-funded PBS documentary about
the labor movement in China while filming one such protest.
King Jiang was arrested and detained for two days before he was deported from China on
the 5th of June.
In 2002, a friend claimed that he was accused of making illegal video recordings and suspected
of spying.
No charges were filed.
You're doing a surface level analysis, look at what's changed, hey, it's on 8 hours,
you know, it's impressive.
Is this a regular thing or just a wrong word stuff, bro?
Why aren't you checking Wikipedia edit history?
Dude, what's up with fucking Professor Chong dick writers, man?
I like the guy, okay?
Give me a fucking break.
Holy shit.
Jesus Christ.
I mean, he's cuckoo for Kogglepuffs, but you don't have to be a shooter for him like that,
know. God damn, yeah, look at the Wikipedia edit. It's still, I looked, it's the Illuminati.
Why do you like him? I don't know why he is like a very, well, first of all, I'm fascinated with
conspiracy theorists, as you guys probably know by now. That's number one. I'm fascinated with the
things they come up with. I'm fascinated with the way they operate. I love cranks.
But also, with John, he's like, he's very unassuming, you know? So he's, there's something to it.
Specifically, I've said that you find offensive. When you do a video called dawn of the Jews,
Why is it that Jews are so dominant? You don't find that offensive?
I never said Jews were dominant.
What I said in my lecture was that the Jewish identity was created by the Persian
empire in order to better control the law.
Bro, he literally, he's like, no, you don't understand.
I'm not anti-Semitic in the way that you think I am.
I'm just fucking crazy.
See, this is why how can you not like the guy?
This is what I mean, man.
Oh, that's, I bet you, Matthew has not heard that one before. You know what I mean? Like,
that's one of those things where you're like, I don't know how to respond to this right now.
Now, I vote that's exactly what what you can derive from it. If you go to a lecture down the Jews, you will see that I used to buy. Yeah, he said communism will start about Wall Street. Yeah. Yeah. He's he's one of those like Rothschild guys. He has a lot of fucking fascist conspiracy theories locked in the chamber for the record, just so you guys understand like he has a lot of the classic takes like the Rothschilds were responsible for the
the great, like, annihilator of whites, you know, white Christians. It was the Jews that basically funded the Communist movement, all that stuff.
Like, he leans in that old-school, classic, fascist conspiracy theories as well.
as my primary source. And then I analyzed what the Bible was saying. But the problem
is that most people don't read the Bible. Most people came up with Pax Judeka, not biblical
scholars. They're the modern white supremacists far right.
Sorry, sorry. What is wrong with the term Pax Judeka?
You tell me. What does it mean?
It just means that there is an entity in the Middle East, Israel, that is able to dominate
the Middle East, very much along the lines of Pax Americana and Pax Britannica and Pax
Halak Makka.
But you didn't say Pax, Israeli liquor.
You said Pax Judaica.
That implies all Jews.
You know the tropes about Jews running the world.
I wouldn't be okay if you said Iran is dominant, Saudi Arabia is dominant, Pax Muslimica.
In fact, he has said that.
You're wrong.
He has said that.
Pax Islamica. Yo, maybe you're not a ball knower. That's what I'm saying, dude. No. No,
you're wrong. He has actually said Pax Islamica. He said you're wrong.
Hassan, he's an academic. Of course he's well versed in the literature.
Oh, that there are many racists in the West who do believe that Islam and Muslims are
trying to take over the world. I find that equally offensive.
Right. So, um, so I'm using a Latin convention. And so the Latin
convention, we packs to the account. It would not be packs. It's
really a car. I mean, I mean, like, you know, where this concept
comes from, it exists in far right online circles. It's not
some academic term.
Do you believe that the greater issue of project is a far right
conspiracy theory?
No.
What is it that I think it's a very real project being carried
out by the Israeli government? I just don't call it packs
Judaica.
Right. Okay. So the difference between the Great Orishal Project and Paxidica is this.
The Great Orishal Project is what the Israelites believe that Yahweh, the God, promised to their ancestors of Abraham in the Bible.
This extends from the now...
He's unflammable? He's right. He's just doesn't... He's always like this. He's like, no.
To the Euphrates. And I could have just used the Great Orishal Project.
project. But I want to differentiate, because I believe that Paxchia Day Cut is not an empire
run by Jews for Jews by Jews. It is an empire run by transnational capital and Shikri societies
in order to create an AI surveillance state throughout the Middle East. And listen, just to
be clear. This is what I mean, bro. Every interview with this guy seems like a bit. Every interview
with this guy is like the first 12 minutes are like, wow, okay, this guy's really cooking.
And then like he slams
Shit into the last four minutes where you're like, what the fuck?
What are you saying right now?
Where did you pull this from? How did you do this? This is exactly what happened with a breaking poise interview
Okay, this is exactly what happened with the breaking poise interviewer like the first like
15 minutes is so good and and so sound like the analysis is sound the questions weren't as like contentious as
Matthew is presenting and he's just explaining like his thought process how he believes what
you know what has taken place so far and then in the last like four or five minutes in the
breaking points interview he just starts fucking being like yeah it's the Frankists and and it's
the Illuminati and all this other shit where you're like what the fuck wait what oh it's awesome
This is speculative analysis. This is not based on facts, as you say.
So it is based on speculative analysis, based on history, historical patterns.
It's also based on connecting the dots. Because if you just look at what Nennyahu says,
if you actually just go and watch on YouTube. Well, I know what Nennyahu says. We're in agreement
on how bad Nennyahu is, how expansionist it is. I'm talking about the language you use,
the milieu you're in. Let me ask you this before we wrap up. What are your own politics?
Where do you place yourself on the political spectrum?
I believe I've always been on the left. Um, um, so I, I believe that wealth redistribution is very important. I believe in freedom of speech. I, I am anti war. I'm anti empire. I believe in, bro, that's my goat. That's my goat. He brought me back in. He brought me back in. He brought me back in. Okay.
in, okay? He brought me back in. It's awesome. It's also very obvious that he did not get
like a traditional Chinese education, okay? Because like half the shit he says is like
all of the crazy conspiracy stuff would be instantly solved if he actually got a Chinese
education or like went to a Chinese university and like, I don't know, got a, got an education
and like Marxist-Leninist interpretations, you know, whatever the fuck, like all of the
high-ranking officials in the Communist Party at China have a degree in.
Like it's just, you drop a little bit of dialectical materialism into all this,
or historical materialism, all the conspiracy stuff goes away, and it is a fully fleshed out
worldview. He has somehow identified some of these things, but ties it back with like maximum
liberalism because of his Yale education.
And did your autonomy.
And so unfortunately, I used to be left, but I think that, like, given my preferences
and given my politics, I believe most people would concern me on the far right nowadays,
and that's unfortunate.
That is unfortunate.
Last question.
You made three very famous predictions in 2024.
What is your big prediction now for 2026?
We'll see what happens.
We can test it out at the end of the year.
Well, I've made three predictions about how this war will progress, okay?
So my first prediction is that the United States will use ground troops and this and and and I believe that this ground troops
Be a quagmire. Don't try to fucking steal his prediction Matthew. You see that I'm with you. Okay
Don't try that's Professor John. That's Professor John's predictive history. That's not your take
Stop the steal
Many in the chat are saying, bro, I made this prediction too, okay, it doesn't matter.
It was his.
His political affiliation is chaotic, neutral is true, bro, I'm already going to use horseshoe
theory for his own policies.
He's just raises.
I mean, he's, he's everything.
He's everything all at once for the United States and that they will have to call by
national draft.
Okay.
That's my first prediction.
And this is very important is that history of the United States will not use a nuclear weapon in this war. I think I
Didn't realize that John still teaches in China. Yeah, he uh
Someone was saying I don't know if this is true or not, but like
It sounds so unbelievable
Someone was saying that all of the lectures like fake lectures that he does is how he teaches Chinese students English
And I don't believe that to be the case because that's insane
Imagine learning English in high school in China through Professor Zhang's lectures about Paxton, Ayaka. Oh
No
It's the most insane way to learn English.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Oh, so good.
Anyway, what do you mean by fake lectures?
These students do a Q&A every lecture, but yes, he's insane.
No, I meant like, okay, given that he bills himself as Professor Cheung, okay, someone
else gave him that moniker, but whatever he's going with it.
And what he talks about, you would assume that he is lecturing people on politics, right?
You wouldn't just assume that he's lecturing people on the English language and how to speak
it.
That's why I'm saying fake lectures.
Like they're not real, you know, college level history lectures or anything.
Like he's not teaching international relations.
But in my mind, in my head can, and I love the notion that he is, he's an English and
philosophy teacher at a private Chinese high school, they might be right. No, I'm just in
my head cannon. I hope that he's actually teaching his students English in those videos
that we watch. Like that's his method of teaching his students English. That's unbelievable.
It's incredible. I need more of that.
That the talk of nuclear weapons is fear mongering. I don't think we will escalate to that point
on nuclear weapons.
I hope you're right. I worry about nicks. I hope you're right.
My third and most controversial prediction is that I believe that during the course of
this war, somehow, some way, the Alexic Mosque will be destroyed.
Wow.
Yeah.
Well, that would be a disaster.
See, he's scared.
Mehdi is scared.
Look, that's how you know he believes it.
That's how you know you believe, Professor John.
You believe him.
Look how scared Mehdi got.
He said the al-Aqsa Mas will be destroyed
Somehow which again
Like how is that a prediction if you don't that's just kind of you making stuff up, right? Like if you don't have any
like like
Clear assessment on how that happens, right?
Game theory no, no, that's not that's not how that works John is gonna blow it up
up. That's a parlay. True to be fair. It could be anybody, nobody, no brother. I think there's
only one P one, one country that would do that. Okay. Couldn't be anybody at all. There's
only one place, one country, one movement that would be invested in doing it, and they've
been trying to do it.
He must be banned in poly market, yeah, I'm not gonna say which country.
It's Israel.
It's a bit.
We will have to leave it there on that rather talk prediction.
Shui-Chin Jiang, I appreciate you taking time.
I appreciate you taking my questions.
Thank you so much.
I mean people watched it and they said, exclusive, who is Professor Jiang?
Who does he work for?
What is this?
for pre-living in Guangdong during Ashaha,
Jiang did not speak Mandarin as early live,
only after enrolling at Yale.
1997, during the German's visit to the US,
the Sanicino-US Rural Law Initiative following a year,
Yale Law School, China Law Center.
What is this?
Matthew was so mean to him, I agree.
I agree.
I will defend Professor Jiang.
someone needs to check professor's Calci account I know a gambler when I see it no he would
never that's unethical bro
coincidentally following trail uh professor trinity ill
John returned to China for the first time in 1998 working briefly as an intern teacher
on a short internship. Oh, this is so much, bro. This is too much, too much reading. I don't care
enough. I want to keep his, I want to keep the mystery alive. Okay. I want to keep the mystery
alive. I don't want to know that he's a fed or whatever the fuck. No one on Twitter that writes
a long ass, long and convoluted effort post like this is going to end up telling me that
this person is not a Fed. Okay. Anytime somebody writes this much on Twitter, I know at the
tail end of that, it's going to be the guys of Fed, you feel me?
Anyway, um, I'm tired doing the chapeau show tonight, I'm going to go, I'll be back tomorrow.
There's obviously a lot to cover in the world and I'll be live and alive to do it.
Wrap it up be going to the chapel show.
Yes.
Yes, I am.
Anyway, I love you guys.
