And we're going to meet up in a shape
Confidential
What's going on everybody?
I hope everyone's having a fantastic evening afternoon, no matter where you are in the world
in the sun.
This is Austin on broadcast, coming to you live from sunny California, a lot of such
folks were live and alive.
I hope all the boys, girls and enemies are having a fantastic one because today
is a wonderful day.
Today is a very special day.
saw that right you saw that phone flip I think undefeated I think many of you saw that phone
flip and knew that the beautiful nation of the United Arab Emirates is protected like when you
see that phone flip when you see that phone flip you're like oh I feel like no matter how many
Shahid drones are launched in the direction of Borsh Khalifa we are protected because he
protects us, right? Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, you already know, I am live. I'm alive. Coming to
you live from sunny Los Angeles, California, 68 degrees and sunny here. And, you know, it's
coming to you live from stolen land. You already know what's up. You already know what it is.
But there is a really important reason why it's a very special day today, as you guys already
No, it's a very special day every single time.
Is it because I have a very special guest later?
In Hanomar, is that part of the reason?
That's part of it.
It'd be part of it.
Is it special because I got a haircut yesterday and I'm feeling myself?
Maybe that's part of the reason or is it because it's Friday?
That's right, ladies and gentlemen, it's Friday and you already know what's up.
We celebrate Fridays here at the broadcast every single Friday.
You already know what it is.
We're celebrating Friday because we're celebrating the five-day work week.
Celebrating the weekend.
Something that are full-fledged, spot-long, and hard for the labor union movement
to eradicate the communist and trade unionists.
Their social is the light.
Fuck, we're blessed with tears to make sure that you can have a sense of autonomy, a sense of purpose, every goddamn weekend.
You feel like a human being again.
And that's precisely the reason why we celebrate it with immaculate vibes every single Friday.
You already know what's up. You call it Friday. I call it Friday. I think a union day.
Oh my god.
You already know what it is.
And
Yeah, yeah, I saw my computer engine to the drum with all the I'll say it. Oh hell. Yeah, that's sick. All right
We're live we're live and this is part of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal news
No, it's 11 25 a.m. I'm a little late and I apologize for that. There's a reason for it
Okay, you might be thinking it's on you're late again. You're tardy. Why do I even pay you?
What the hell is this and I to them to all of you I say
To all of you, I say, I'm late for good reason. Okay. Last night at the end of the broadcast,
hung out with the family, hung out with the fam, and went to sleep. Chut ass, lose your time,
you already know. Woke up super early, had some secret phone conversations with people,
and then, you know, was mapping out the future, big business deals, and then I
worked out. I worked out, I hit a quick, quick workout, and then I did the pod
Johns. That's right. Ladies and gentlemen, I did the pod Johns. America's number one
broadcast for the number one anti-Semitism. Yeah, you form an event up
ready to talk a mass bag about you and game I think he's just talking about
revoking your gamer card. Hell no dude, not that. Bro, thought we talked to
Trump on the phone and we wouldn't find out. Yeah, that's what happened. Start
putting trend in your butt twin is time you got less than a month till shortlist may true.
I am not ready for shortlist summer. I'm not even a little bit. I'm a tubby boy. I'm a fat chud.
But what was I saying? Oh yeah. So I did, I did the pod Johns. I talked extensively about Hamas
and how the Palestinian resistance is a legal right to resist. You know, did that back and
forth with John Lovett, but I think it was a very productive conversation. Um, you know,
they're calling me the new Ben Hamas Rhodes. In any case, uh, yeah, stop with the fast,
stolen valor true true true i totally miss you calling into lbc yeah that was fun
what's on the coffee mug is a belly of the beast shout out to belly of the beast go subscribe
to belly of the beast's patreon and give them some love uh they're an incredible independent news
an outlet in Cuba and they were very helpful. They were very helpful. But my parents will
let me watch you any more because anytime you speak Turkish, they think you're casting
spells. How do you convince them you're not cursing them? They're right. I am casting
spells. The online drama today is crazy. Wait, really? What's the... I shouldn't
ask that. I don't want to hear about the online drama. Anyway, yeah, we got Ihan
Mark coming in we got you know Mark coming in a little bit
Yeah, these these past couple of weeks
Kind of feels like our boy Abdul is is is picking up in his interests
You see that you notice that a lot of a lot of Abdul mentions do not engage with the drama frogs
Yeah, I mean it's it's
You know, it's entirely dependent on if it's like productive drama that
is entirely dependent on if it's like actual good
productive conversations or if it's like, you know, like
this streamer said this about you because like 95% of the time is this streamer said this about you
um
But, uh, yeah, um, anyway, where the frick are we?
Where the frick are we address the allegations?
Uh, I'll do all sides of bigger gamer than you.
Oh my God.
I saw this.
I saw this.
He did.
a month ago you did a Minecraft video. You got to help PFT convert this hog. Oh, dude,
dude, I love that hog. I actually texted, I actually texted PFT about my, my goat.
Anyway, maybe they're talking about Anna-Lillian-Maeha, J-shoot, that's not drama, that's like politics.
Anyway, anyway, yeah, I mean, let's get into it.
That's it.
There's not really much else going on in my life, because like I said, I'm a shut-ass
loser.
You already know what's up.
You already know that I don't do, I don't do enough.
And my day-to-day, I did get, I do get yelled at quite a bit.
I mean, last night was no different.
A political reporter reached out and was like, hey, we're writing an article about how you're,
you know, heinous anti-Asian racist and Shoei Ka Chakrabarti's primary opponents are using
that against Shoei Ka.
And, you know, I explained the context. I gave like a super wordy response. And none
of it made it into the piece, of course, but I will be talking about that later. It's such
a funny boat, two clips they use and they're both very funny. But, you know, we'll get
into all of that. Can you come to a shortcut rally in San Francisco? We need more shortcut
Google hits. Yeah. Yeah. Anti-Asian now dog. That's crazy. I mean, yeah, they
They say I'm anti, they say I'm transphobic, they say I'm anti black, they say I'm anti
Asian.
And it's so funny because like all of those clips materialize from the Republican party
and liberals just love eating that shit up.
It's so funny.
Like at a certain point, don't be able to realize if you're constantly talking to
every single group of people, it's probably just how you are not a targeted hatred.
Well it's not even that.
It's not even that it's, it's, it's not me targeting groups.
It's not me targeting people on ethnic background or anything. It's me shitting on reactionaries.
You know? Yeah, I'm on the one hand, I'm pro-China and that's bad. But on the other hand, I'm
anti-Asian and that's also bad. It doesn't make sense.
Anyway, but yeah, where were we? Oh, let's blast off. Do we have a blast off meme chat?
We have a blast-off meme in the building. Hello. Hello. What sees fire vans to negotiate Israel violates red line situation monitored EF day 41 in Hanoma in the building
RNC attacks
Being cynically used by Dems to target left flank
candidates in
in all over the U.S. RNC Hassan derangement being cynically used by Dems to target left
flank candidates all over the U.S. Get in now.
We got Twitch and TV slash has to nabby
This one is basically Randy Marsh now, okay calm the freak down man
Man
What the hell dude? I
Got haters it did this is what I mean. This is what I mean. Why why do I need why do I need haters?
With these are what my lovers are doing. Okay?
This is what my lover's treat me as. It's so fucked.
It's so freaking, it's so freaked up, dude. It's so freaked up. Anyway, let's, let's, let's
continue. All right, I'll use those blast off memes because, you know, who cares, right? All
right, let's blast off. Your favorite New York mayor has betrayed Turkey.
Something went wrong. Don't fret. Give it another shot. Okay. It's not letting me post
it with the hell? Did it work? Did it actually, did I actually post it or not? Oh, I did. Okay, good.
You see, Eric Adams is now an Albanian citizen. Yeah, I did. That's what that's what they're
saying. They're saying that Eric Adams, my favorite mayor, America's number one mayor,
obviously, New York's greatest mayor of all time, not even a question Eric, the Eric Adams
has officially betrayed Turkey and has become Albanian. Now of course, of course,
it's a really sad, sad day for me, really sad because I mean Albanians are Turks too,
so in some ways I guess he's still carrying on that spirit right in some ways and in ways that
matter he's still carrying on the spirit of of being Turkish by way of Albania but
But it's messed up.
Stavie is devastated.
Yeah, this still pisses off Stavros
because he has smoke for the Albanians
because he also recognized Albanians as Turks as well.
Anyway, he is now closer to Duleeper than you.
this true. This is going to include in the Hassan the nice Albanian genocide scandal.
Oh my God. Brad Lander is now calling to end all iron dome defenses as well. Let's go see
told you AOC comes out new litmus test. Okay. AOC comes out new litmus test. Look at that.
where was I where was I where was I? Breaking North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has announced
that if the United States attacks Iran with nuclear weapons, he will launch nuclear ballistic
missiles that Tel Aviv and Washington DC. That's probably not real. But you know in
my head cannon. Dude, everything that people say about North Korea is usually fake. It's
just like good or bad. Cause sometimes they'll say like, like pamphlets does this all the
time where they'll be like North Korea is put North Korea is put Iran under his nuclear
protection and you're like, Oh, that's kind of base. Nope. Nope. They haven't done
that. That's a lie. Okay. That's a lie. They just got your spirits up. Yeah, we'll talk
about Elisa Slotkin as well. Obviously, that's a very funny. That's a that's a very funny
thing that she's like upset about. Iran might not show up to Pakistan. We'll talk
about that too. Yes, we're going to talk about Ana, Lillia,
may he come to freak down.
Mexico got universal health care, my queen.
You know, they're doing the damn thing.
Okay, so here, let's start here.
So, uh, Elisa's lock in is, is going around the country
because she wants to become president, right? She's running, she wants to, she wants to
be a serious pick in 2028. Now, of course, probably not going to happen for her, right?
What is this? Mark Levin repost the Yale event. The Yale political union is hosting Muslim
Shrima Sompiker for a discussion on April 14th, 7 p.m. titled, and the American Empire
tuition, it yields a 94,000 parents paying nearly 100,000 per year for their children in the communist
indoctrination camp. Dude, I don't think they understand. This is like some of the most annoying
shit that liberals used to do. This is some of the most annoying shit that liberals used to do
about people like Ben Shapiro. Like it's not gonna work. I mean, even if it, even if Yale was
like, yeah, that's right. We're canceling you. Like you're just pissing people off further.
Stuff like this, stuff like this is only going to draw enmity. Mark Levin is Trump's fave
guy now. No more Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones. I know and Mark Levin actually reposted
this to apparently you know did they forgot did they forget book and reading
is what turn okay dude you clearly didn't fucking read books look at this did
they forgot book and reading is what turn kids commies not you bro maybe you
should do book and reading. Jesus Christ Oliver holy shit.
God damn son. God damn. Anyway, uh, I'm on mobile, mobile. All right. Where was I
where was I? What was I saying? What was I doing? Yeah. Okay, we'll start out with
Alyssa Slotkin. Okay, let's start there. Let's start there. Let's start with Alyssa Slotkin,
because that one is very funny. So Alyssa Slotkin is, Alyssa Slotkin is running or wants to run
for president, right? She's a Michigan Senator who, many Michiganders voted not in favor of
necessarily, but against the Republican, Mike Rogers. I think it was Mike Rogers. And she
wants to carry that victory to the great, the grand stage to become president. Okay?
Now, do I think that's gonna work? I don't think so, because it's very, I mean, it's giving,
Yeah, Diet Hillary Clinton, she's CIA agent. I just don't think that that kind of, like,
I don't think a person with that background has an easy go at trying to present themselves as like
a left populace. It's just not going to happen. Like she is, she is a very old guard politician,
like old school politician, CI background, very buttoned up, very neoliberal. It's just not going
to work, right? It's not gonna work unless they like try to clear the field for her, which I don't
think is gonna happen anyway. I think there's trouble brewing for the establishment style
Democrats, the neoliberal Democrats, the ones that are trying to constantly
present themselves as like just, just progressive enough, but also perfectly moderate, right?
But initially, if you guys remember, Elyse Slockin said that she didn't know who I was,
but then also said that, you know, the quotes that were given to her from the boss called
if she was responding to, you know, she was like literally responding to a third
way ADL questionnaire, made it seem like I was very scary and very anti-Semitic. It was
on moral grounds that she refused to come on my stream, which is interesting because like,
I never invited her to come on the stream at all. But anyway, now here's a question
that was presented to her by Politico when she's out and about doing another campaign
rally.
I saw him here this week and he essentially said that there was a double standard on you
going on Bill Marr's show versus his Twitch stream.
Do you want to respond to that?
Well, first of all, I'd never been invited on his stuff and I've gone on Bill Marr a
bunch of times.
Look, I have said repeatedly, like, I got to call balls and strikes, whether it's
anti-Semitism, Islamophobia coming from the state that I come from and so that's
what I've tried to do as he's come into Michigan and you know I think there are a
ton of podcasts or you know invites that not taking and every politician has to
make their choice they have to make a decision about what they're gonna go on
so I've been on Vilmar I think this is my fourth time and that's just how I
I feel given some of the things that were said and which strikes does his son
What are his strikes? What strikes it balls and strikes? What are the strikes? I think for me
you know
Some derogatory things he said about or at the back juice
Saying that we serve 9-11 like there's there's something
Yo Bill Maher himself has done those things. Okay?
Okay. That's what's so funny about this. And Bill Maher actually is Islamahobic. I'm not
anti-Semitic, but Bill Maher unironically is Islamahobic. And my response in that situation
was just like, to highlight the double standard, like I wasn't inviting, uh, Elise Slockin onto
the broadcast.
I was just simply saying that, uh, you know, she obviously doesn't have an issue with
like certain kinds of language and certain kinds of racism, while she's, you know, simultaneously
claiming that I, you know, simultaneously claiming that I myself am a more toxic figure than
Bill Maher.
It's not true. Bill Maher, I mean, I, I don't remember, but I remember watching religious,
religious, however you fucking call it. And there's 0% chance he hasn't said,
a shit about Orthodox Jews, okay? I mean, I should, I should look it up. I'm sure someone
could find it. But like, that's usually something that a lot of, of like liberals routinely
hit on. And, and way worse things than I have said, when I'm like specifically referencing
not like Orthodox Jews and calling them inbred, but just talking about like, you
you know, reactionary right-wing ultra-Zionist groups that are engaging in like violent things
like invading Lebanon or in doing genocide in Gaza. So, you know, I'm referencing settlers
in the West Bank, right? I'm not talking about like all orthodoxies across the board.
And inbred is something that I use as a pejorative towards every ethno-religious supremacist
identity from neo-nazis, the regular old right-wing republican hicks, you know.
Yeah, they were engaging in aid destruction, right? All that stuff. So,
it's not about them being Jewish, it's about what they're doing, right? If you're a chud,
if you're right-wing, if you're a Nazi, it don't matter to me. What is this in red?
But once again, Bill Maher is like actually trafficking in right-wing ideals or right-wing
ideology, reactionary ideology and saying a bunch of heinous shit, which is precisely
the reason why Alisa Slopkin doesn't have an issue with anything that he's saying.
Because it's about where you want to expand the tent to.
That much is clear.
A lot of these people want to expand the tent to the right.
do not want to expand the tent to the left, even though the left is there. Okay, it's
that simple.
Things in there, not to mention, he calls me stupid like every other week. So I just,
what normal human being would choose to go on a show when someone calls you stupid
every 10 days?
Um, have I done that?
It's very funny, but a lot of people are dunking on her for this because she was
like we got to be alpha we got to take on these fights all this stuff and now
she's like I don't want to go on a show because he called me stupid
yeah I I find it very strange because she's literally a CIA agent that was
stationed in iraq so you know it's not gonna be something i do it's funny because she also says
wait so it's a is it a moral stance or a purely aesthetic when i'm confused when confronted with
the obvious parts of condemning pike for anti-semitism while still going on bill marr said
does it actually raises things she immediately previous a non sequitur aesthetic objections
because she doesn't have a response it's obviously cynical yeah
Yeah, Dave Weigel had some choice words on this. I get it, but I don't get how this fits into
her alpha energy frame. And alpha would go on the show to suplex them and suplex them, right?
It's like in one on breaking points and I guess opinions differ, but in my opinion,
held her own in a tough Israel back and forth. That was pretty alpha.
I just find it very funny that now she has to address this back and forth with me, random
guy that I find that I find personally hilarious.
And also Dave Weigel is saying she held her own because I think he just wants her to
be in contested environment.
So he's just gassing her up a little bit.
Okay. Also, a politician could totally be like, well, I just don't like him and that would be
infinite better messaging. Yeah, probably. I said, buddy, you're getting deported to Israel to Randy
Fine. Okay. Because Randy Fine is trying to do this messaging with foreigners should not be able to
serve in Congress. That's why I've introduced a disqualifying dual loyalty act. You're a
citizen of another country, you should have served this one. Get out. I said, buddy, you're
getting deported to Israel. Um, and Laura Lemur's like, no, he's not because he's a U S citizen dummy.
See, this is the tactical advantage of vulgarity. Okay. These guys are fucking fascists. So if
you're vulgar to them, okay, if you hit him with this shit, their only response is to cry
to the referee and say, how dare you, sir? Excuse me. I'm an American citizen. That's
awesome. They're on the fucking back foot. They can dish it, but they can't take it.
And I apologize for saying dish while I'm talking about Randy Fine, because I know
he wants to clear it, right? But like, that's how it is. This is what I try to explain
to liberals as well. Like, stop, stop being pussies, man. Just fucking let him eat it.
Let him take it. We can't be letting these guys constantly talk about, you know, doing
nasty portages and shit. And then all we have in response is, no, no, it's bullshit.
it. Like yeah, there it is. Hopefully today, President Trump can negotiate the permanent
deportation of Hassan, Pikerback to Turkey. It's time for him to go home.
There it is. Like this is literally Laura Loomer crying in my replies after demanding
that the president deport me. Okay, and Randy Fine does it too. It's like, Randy Fine
responded. Randy Fier responded. I know we're going to cover that too. I was born in the
United States. My parents were born in the United States. Two of my grandparents were
born in the United States more than a hundred years ago. Neither of the other two were
born in Israel. I've never even visited Israel until my thirties. The Sampai group is the
child of two Turkish Muslims who engaged in birth tourism so he could become American after which
he was immediately taken to Turkey and spend his entire childhood. Piper said America deserve 9-11.
Kill my father's leather. If you cared about Medicare fraud, you would kill Rick Scott.
He's campaign alongside Rep. Summer Lee Roe Conner, I don't know. I wish you to leave
Zoram down to AOC and Bernie Sanders. This is the Democrat Party today. And then he adds
Dana Bash and Jake Tapper. Now, why would Randy Fine, who is objectively the most racist,
congressperson in the United States of America right now, and there's motherfuckers wearing
clan robes in Congress, and Randy Fine is cut above. Why would Randy Fine at Jake Tapper and
And Dana Bash.
Why would he do that?
Congressman front, but added again.
Mark Levine is complaining.
Tiger is a terrorist supporting jihadists who celebrates 9 11. We know because he tells
us and a spokesman for the democratic party. He also is an example of a broken immigration
system.
Would be honored to come on your show and discuss this at Mark Levine show. Dude, dude,
dude, let's keep it a bug. I personally welcome this kind of anger and resentment from some
of the worst villains. Okay. These are some of the worst villains in American society
right now, okay? If you noticed a lot of the anger, a lot of the resentment, and a lot of the attacks
are bubbling from the Israel first right-wingers and the Israel first Democrats as well. It's just
very strange. I have noticed, I've noticed that most people, you know, objectively popular
politicians that just want to do right by Americans that don't necessarily give a
fuck about the nation-state of Israel and preserving its greater Israel project
or whatever. A lot of those guys don't have this kind of opinion on little old
me. Interesting stuff. I do, however, find it truly immoral, truly morally
repugnant that some high-profile liberals like Dana Bash, okay, what is this 255K likes holy fuck?
What is this? If Israel a terrorist and so are the U.S., they've committed the same acts.
It's happening. It's happening. The wheels are turning. Like, yeah. We're kind of, we're
trying to stop that. That's like the point.
Anyway, Josh Shapiro is changing his tone on Israel. Nice, nice, nice, nice. So are
you going to be able to stream the Q&A? You're hosting at the Henry Job Event today?
I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not doing that I'm not doing that on live
Okay, not everything that I do is fucking live-streamed. Okay, that's not gonna be live-streamed
Sorry
Holy shit
Chatters not everything that I do is is you know for the stream consumption
I know I have like done so much. I know I do so much live, but like not everything that I do is gonna be live
Bro, that's what a reasonable question is. I know. Sorry. I'm just, I'm on edge about
that. Anyway, where was I? What was I saying? Yeah, look at this. Look, look, Levin, all
of these like, all of these annoying Israel first Republicans, these reactionaries who
have demanded my deportation, I think in a matchup, me versus Mark Levin, I think overwhelming
majority of Americans would want to deport him instead of me.
I was gonna say I don't think you want to ask Americans who they'd rather
denaturalize and deport between you and me you bald bitch but then I realized
then you know bald people are gonna get mad you know have you been seeing the
pose using if they're able to count then you are able to mount are these old
out-of-context to it clips or AI I know it's a smear obviously but there's
clips going around. Brother, brother, brother, brother, brother.
I said attempted satire show that was literally packaged and deleted off of the
internet 14 fucking years ago.
Okay, 14.
What the fuck are you talking about?
You guys need to be able to literally fucking come to these conclusions on
your own you don't need me to hold your fucking hand through every goddamn shit
dude like you have enough synapses up here that fucking fire right you must
understood brother like it's just like you have enough synapses fire them on
your own it's not rude at some point I have to be like what what do you want
me to do. I think a lot of people are so used to me just like holding everybody's hand
through the fucking journey of understanding the news where they just like can't think
about it on their own like home my lord. Hey is it a banable offense to be from
Naperville? Yes. Yes. Still banable.
You really should look through a primary school textbooks.
Chatter outsourcing their soft skills to you like your chat GBT. I know it's crazy.
Blue MAGA is just as insane as red MAGA and they both cannot concede that they are wrong.
all their flaws or someone else's fault. I mean, I know, and then they ironically say
that to me. I don't think you want to ask Americans who they'd rather dematuralize and
the port between uh yeah between me and you between me no you and me you and me you bold
fuck Trump will post about deporting you if you tweet this fuck you know what you're
right. Also I have to pee. 50% of Randy's tweets are about calling for different Muslims to be
deported. I know. All right, look, we're going to start, we're going to start here with the
ceasefire tested as Vance has the Pakistan the latest on the front. And I'm going to go pee real
quick. Okay. I have to see, look, why are you bringing bald into this? You see, everyone's
feefies would get hurt when I call Randy fine, a fat fuck. Then people say you're fat phobic.
When I call Mark living in a bald fuck, bald people get your bald phobic, you know.
Brad, you'll ceasefire with Iran. Chief Foreign Correspondent,
was tracking the latest on the ground in the Middle East and in.
Vice President is headed to Pakistan for peace talks.
Yeah, good morning, Michael. Vice President Vance, on route to Pakistan now
to lead these crucial peace talks with Iran. The three-day old ceasefire, though,
already under huge pressure, not least from the ongoing war between Israel and Iranian
Iranian-backed militias Hezbollah in Lebanon. Iran and mediators Pakistan insisting that
Lebanon is part of the ceasefire deal, and therefore the ongoing strikes by Israel are
essentially a violation. This comes as video captured by a 13-year-old girl showing the
moment a busy shopping area in the capital bay route came under attack.
The JD Vance insisting Lebanon is not part of the deal. Speaking before his departure,
the U.S. would allow itself to be played by Iran, and the U.S. telling Israel to scale back
its attacks against Hezbollah and do a deal with the Lebanese government.
Yeah, and it has not stopped in concerning the critical state of home moves.
President Trump accused Iran of doing a poor job of allowing oil through.
Yeah, it's worth remembering it is an absolutely vital waterway to global oil and gas supplies,
It was supposed to be fully reopened as part of the CFAR, but only seven ships passed through
yesterday.
President Trump accusing Iran of doing a very poor job, quotes dishonorable some would say,
of allowing all to go through that strait.
The president also adding, this is not the agreement we had.
There are also potentially deal-breaking differences between U.S. and Iranian positions
ahead of talks, not least over the issue of nuclear enrichment.
Okay. We know that at least some of this ordeal was already discussed. And Benjamin Nennyaho made a
fucking boss call again, because let's be real. He's the real president. Okay. He's the real
president of the United States of America. Sorry. That's just the case. Okay. That's just the
the case. He literally called up Trump and was like, no, we gotta keep bombing Lebanon.
And Trump was like, just keep it low key, King. No big deal. And he was like, no, I'm gonna
keep it high key. He killed 300 people in one fucking day, one of the most violent days
in Lebanon. Okay? He did not keep it low key at all. Not that he should keep it low
he should be restrained. He's out of his fucking mind. And of course, that completely sullied
the deal. And now JD Vance and Trump, JD Vance and Trump are going back on the previous deal,
the previous arrangement they put together. And it's clear that Iran doesn't want to
stop striking Israel anyway. And we're only pushed into stopping striking Israel because
of China.
So while Donald Trump begged for a ceasefire for like almost a month, for pretty much a
month, 30 plus days, he's now destroying the same ceasefire that he finally got.
It's ridiculous.
Despite this huge pressure of agreements under President Trump expressing optimism, but without
significant compromise, it's hard to see how a lasting deal can be struck.
Michael.
Yeah, it's going to be toughy here.
Thank you so much.
J.D. Vance warns Iran not to play the U.S. as he has the negotiations.
Buddy, you're the one who's thinking that he's capable of playing Iran.
not working and don't know what this kind of like showmanship is gonna do to the actual deal at play
because at the end of the day I'm fairly certain that the only thing that Iran cares about
is getting their wishes across, okay?
That's the only thing that they care about.
out. So for them, if you don't actually do a ceasefire, if you don't actually bring Israel
to heal and get Israel to stop bombing Lebanon, it's not gonna work. That's a condition that
the Iranians have put forward.
Feel free to crucify me if I'm wrong, but the trajectory looks like Trump brandon Lee
pretends to work for a Lebanese ceasefire. Israel doesn't stop bombing. Iran can't
decide to either back down or escalate. And Trump makes a decision for them when he gets
fed up over Hormuz, okay?
And there is a little bit of truth to that because Iran, instead of immediately going
back to business as usual rounds of strikes, has been doing this, like Gallabath has been
doing this posture where he's been saying like, oh, any day now, we'll retaliate.
The reality of the matter is everyone is doing a little bit of a brandonian restrained
response here except for Israel. Iran is stuck in this classic late Khamenei era, decision
paralysis. This time the attrition, Hormuz being closed, puts the world in an immediately
intolerable position. That gives Iran leverage, but only until the US decides to try taking
the leverage away by force. And again, it's completely twisted and psychotic that as
in Gaza before the US has made the goal of its leverage to keep a blood tornado
going in Lebanon indefinitely. Okay? That's what it is. This chaos of betrayal story going
around right now sort of smells like it is really a disinfo opt to stir the internet conflict.
Honestly, the straight remains closed and Iran is receiving a positive regroup,
militarily fix some more logistics while forcing Trump to acknowledge Iran's 10 points is
workable. Iran will get credit internationally for making an effort to be diplomatic and
negotiating on their own workable terms. The world is widely recognized in Israel as a
the rogue actor in this war, I just don't think that matters. I don't think that matters.
I think what matters is forcing Israel, either militarily, or forcing Israel and the G.C.
states to, to, to restraint, forcing them into restraint by creating sufficient military
deterrence or basically getting America to, to force Israel to restraint because
of the sufficient military deterrence that you have established. So that's just the reality.
It's obvious that Israel does not respond to anything other than force. Okay? Israel
as an entity only responds to military deterrence. That much is clear, right? And America so
far has been responsive to the economic pressures. Israel doesn't care about the
economic pressures as much because they can always keep the country afloat by charitable
contributions and silly donations that come from incredibly wealthy benefactors that will
always try and keep the Israeli economy alive to make it seem like there's a lot, there's
robust economic activity happening. They've been doing that for the past two and a half
years in spite of the reality that they've been committing a genocide.
So what has to happen now is demands of restraint for Israel from all of the other
actors. Yes, I saw this earlier. Iranian official told me we forced a pause in the attacks in Beirut
and Dahiya by making the red line in negotiations and also made it clear that if Israel crosses it
again, talks would be off. It's a violation. Israel already tested it and Israel got what it
wanted. I'm not saying that Iran needs to keep striking or Iran needs to do this, Iran needs to
do that. I'm just offering analysis and from what I see, what I know about Israel, which I'm
I'm sure Iran knows as well, you're losing your leverage when you don't go up the escalation
ladder alongside Israel.
If Israel ups the ante, if Israel violates the ceasefire, then the ceasefire is over,
right?
If Israel violates the ceasefire, and then you say, well, we'll keep the Hormuz closed,
we won't actually start retaliating in kind, then what you're basically saying is Israel
can get, Israel can continue killing the Lebanese population, okay? That's it. That's it. So
It is a little bit of a Biden moment for Iran. It's certainly a brandonian moment for Trump.
But Trump is more Brandon than Brandon ever could be. Let's be real. I mean, his brain
is mush, but also he is a super, super pro is really even in ways that Biden could not
have foreseen, right? Why should terrorist militias, big yahoo, be be on top? Why should
a terrorist militias like Hezbollah exist? Israel must bomb them to oblivion if
Iran refuses to dismantle it, why should, I mean, the real terrorist state in this region
is not Iran, it's not Hezbollah, it's Israel, right? Israel is a rogue actor, Israel is a
destabilizing factor in the region, and Israel must be brought to heel because they're the
ones who are killing all these civilians. The reason why Hezbollah even exists as
a paramilitary force is because of necessity, because the Lebanese military is incapable
defending Lebanon sovereignty. So a Shia paramilitary group was formed to successfully push Israel out
of the boundaries of the Lebanese state, which they did time and time again.
So that's why Hezbollah exists. And between Hezbollah and Israel, it's not even a question,
which is the more malignant force, the worst actor in the region, it's fucking Israel. Same with
with Hamas. A lot of people get mad at me for saying this. It's just the truth, objectively.
And it's very difficult to argue against it when you start looking at the numbers. And
it's not just the numbers anyway. It's also, you know, what the necessity of the forces
like what is the reason for why Hezbollah exists or the reason for why the engage
in militancy versus what's the reason for the Israeli occupation forces to engage
and militancy. Israel's goals are ethnic cleansing. Hezbollah's goals are self-defense. So, yeah,
I mean, this is why Hezbollah was developed to begin with. This is the inception point.
So Hezbollah, the Israeli seizure of Beirut in 1982, Hezbollah did not exist back then.
right? Does that make sense? Chatter? Do you understand? I mean, you said DB on top. I mean,
that's a, he's a fucking Nazi. So I feel like you're already, why should, no, don't ban him. Like,
McGrew, I want to hear what he had to say. Reagan called us a 1982 attack as a Holocaust made
by Israel, by the way, yes. And he was right. I can't believe I'm saying it, but Ronald Reagan
was right about that. Anyway, no, I banned and unbanned him. I don't want to hear chatters
complained about whenever I push back his mods for like one individual moderation decision.
I don't want this is not your opportunity to be like, whoa, modes are true or happy.
Okay.
This stream would not exist and wouldn't work without their tireless work.
Okay.
Calm down.
All right.
No disrespect to the mods.
All right.
Um, yeah, death toll from Israel's assault on Lebanon's risen to at least 1,888,
uh, with 6,092 more wounded.
This is March 2nd, according to Lebanon's health ministry.
Israel's Wednesday attack on Lebanon killed 33 children and wounded 150.
UNICEF said the preliminary toll of Israel's brutal Wednesday attack on Lebanon is currently at 303 killed and
1,150 wounded UNICEF is receiving reports of children being pulled from under the rubble
While others remain missing and separated from their families many are experiencing trauma having lost loved ones their homes and their sense of safety
the organization said in a statement, so
Yeah, that's what Israel's doing and they're doing that
Exclusively to sully this ceasefire deal like they're not even doing that for achieving any sort of military objective, right?
They're doing that so they can break the ceasefire that that is on the verge of being implemented
so that they can go to America into engaging Iran militarily and potentially invade Iran militarily with boost on the ground military warfare
Which is real as openly stated they have no ambitions of participating in for the record, which you know adds insult to injury in my opinion
But yeah, they are the real terrorists here.
It's unbelievable that anyone would defend this kind of indefensible action.
It's a genocidal, psychotic, apartheid state, and it must be brought to heel for the safety
and the sake of international rule-based order, stability around the world, stability
in this region.
They have to be brought to heel.
Okay?
Is that simple?
Data provided, NBC News by SPG Energy Oil shows just two ships transmitted the Shredded Hormuz
today, translated the Shredded Hormuz today.
The lowest number since President Trump announced it is ceasefire with Iran Tuesday prior to
the war.
60 ships would typically pass each day.
I get why Austin Abbey's popular.
Everybody loves the grumpy middle school teacher who smells like Sanka and
patchouli and yells at his students, which is played dumb just to get him mad.
But he's the goat.
Okay.
John Mersheimer was on the breaking points today and was talking about this if you want to watch it
We are very fortunate to be joined. Okay, I will watch it. Also, I tried to get Mersheimer on but he has not been responsive to my emails
Yeah, okay missile cities are intact. Yes, I know
Yeah, I'm getting mugged I'm getting show mugged by breaking points
But, yeah, where was I, oh, yeah, Trump is still flexing, Trump is still saying Iran holds
no cards.
Well, Iran is holding their cards up in the air right now, even if they're not utilizing
their entire capacity for military, entire missile launching capacity right now against
Israel and against the GCC again to apply pressure to the United States of America.
And I suspect the reason why they're not, I suspect the reason why they're not doing
that is because China doesn't want them to do that, it seems.
That's what it feels like to me, at least.
But at a certain point, Iran is going to have to lean into the IRGC.
There's different forces within Iran that are in control, right?
got the IRGC that wants to continue this war. Okay. It's very clear. They want to continue
launching missiles. They want to continue launching missiles and drones, and they want
to continue applying sufficient military deterrence. They don't think they have done so. And
they're right. They haven't done so. Otherwise, Donald Trump wouldn't just be begging for
a ceasefire. He'd be making a boss call to Benjamin Nino and telling him to fucking
cut it out, right? So it's clear that Iran has not been able to apply sufficient deterrence.
He hasn't been able, Iran has not been able to successfully make the economy scream to
such a degree that America has no other option but to tell Israel to cut it out. Okay.
It's that simple. IRGC might even be in favor of an American invasion. I don't know. I mean,
they keep saying that and that could just be posturing or it could be a real interest that
they have. There are obviously the other more moderate forces still that are alive,
you know, Ambasarakshi and some others who are now engaging in, as Matthew Petticorrectly pointed to,
decision paralysis. There are some who like the ceasefire, especially because the ceasefire gives them
all of the things that they want that think it's a sincere ceasefire attempt, which history
has shown is most likely not a sincere ceasefire attempt, especially when Israel is still
still controlling the American foreign policy vehicle here, right?
So that I think is the major disagreement here and that's precisely the reason why you got
Galabath talking about, you know, the time is running out and whatnot instead of just
like immediately going back to business as usual, just pommeling Israel and pommeling
the rest of the Gulf, okay?
Two of the measures mutually agreed upon between the parties have yet to be implemented
ceasefire in Lebanon and the release of Iran's blockdasses prior to the commencement of negotiations.
These two matters must be fulfilled before negotiations begin.
So one aspect of this upper hand that Iran has is the reality that as it seems currently,
no one from the Iranian side are moving in the direction of Pakistan.
The mediators on the Iranian side are not going to Pakistan as it stands currently.
they might, but I think it would, if they did, especially as Israel has delivered a devastating
blow to one of the major demands that Iran has made, which is to no longer blow up any of the
resistance, not just Lebanon, by the way, that also means no longer blowing up Gaza, either,
for the record. That's another part of this conversation that's lost in translation a little
bit. So, Israel has said fuck off to that, right? In America, seemingly has not been able to restrain
them. They were flying there as of an hour ago. Okay. So, there's new information being shared in
the intelligence community indicating that the RGC is using the ceasefire window to carry out
operations at Titanade's grip on critical choke point. I'm told we have reached out to shipping
companies to see if they paid the fee to pass. Only a handful of vessels have
transited the straits since the ceasefire began.
Tariq Kenney-Shawar says, makes sense that both sides we use the ceasefire to
regroup replenish munitions. Trump also literally just admitted to it today. We're
loading up the ships with the best ammunition, the best weapons ever made,
even better than what we did previously and we blew them apart. Also, it
will obviously take Israel a lot more than two weeks to replenish their
interceptor stockpile capacity, but this shouldn't be downplayed as a
factor in Washington's decision to move forward with a ceasefire. Yeah, a ceasefire is an attempt
to regroup and rearm for both sides. It allows Iran to tighten its control over the Shade
of Hormuz and key assets that they think might be under threat if America chooses to
uh... invader on militarily
but uh...
but ultimately ultimately
the leverage of iran has over both uh... israel the global economy and therefore
the united states of america
is the reason why uh... a a
an intelligent assessment here
that that uh... wants to come to a uh... negotiate a conclusion
uh... would demand them to look at the situation
uh... seriously and and take the ceasefire initiative seriously on the
american and israeli side
to ronnie eight three twenties
uh...
have actually what is this
to iranian a three twenties from mirage airlines for afghanistan landing
Islamabad as we speak. Okay, so they are actually going. Is this why Russia also agreed on a
ceasefire to aid Iran? No, I think the other major partners, the other major partners on the Iranian
side want Iran to stop. They want Iran to stop. I don't know about what you're talking
I think the Russian ceasefire is about Ukraine, that's separate.
Have you seen John Kerry on CNN?
Maybe try to convince the other presidents as well to strike Iran.
Trump was stupid enough to do it.
That's not surprising to me.
Benjamin Ennyahu has been pretty open about how this has been his main ambition for
Decades at this point. It's not new or unique and yes, we all know that Trump was the only one fucking dumb enough to
lean into it
Yeah
The March thinks that Russian wants Russia was a ceasefire out of fear of global depression
Anyway
Brother the only sign appears Israel claiming that Lebanon was never part of the ceasefire in the US claiming that it's gonna rain
Israel in. We have seen repeatedly over the past three years that what happens next.
Yeah, I think at the end of the day, this is all about whether America will reign in Israel
or not. Okay. That's it. And the rest of the world needs to wisen up to that equation as well.
like the the faster everybody involved or everybody impacted by these decisions
recognize Israel's cancerous influence over this deal and and it's influenced to
ruin this deal the faster we move on to more productive things like demanding
that Israel get cut out of this equation, demanding that Israel get restrained.
We should have done it on moral grounds when Israel was conducting a genocide, right?
But obviously none of these western states give a single solitary shit about the humanity
of Palestinians.
But at this point, the Iranian retaliation has caused reverberations across the planet.
The entire global energy markets are disrupted in a way that will take quite a while to fix,
regardless of how much Donald Trump tries to manipulate the markets with his language,
with his rhetoric.
It doesn't matter.
There is a hard stop to the propaganda.
And that hard stop is when shortages take place.
And it's already happening, right? There's demands in the Asian markets to restrain their
energy usage, their oil and gas usage in general. Thailand has moved back to coal-powered energy
infrastructure. That's where we're at.
Unlike the U.S. and the rest of the world, Iranian leaders can afford the drag-out talks
while the U.S. and Israel have suspended their bombing campaign in Iran with every passing
date Tehran tightens its chokehold on global oil and natural gas supply.
I mean, these guys are just agitating on the other side.
Terms were met, unfreezing $7 billion in ceasefire in Lebanon.
We'll see.
We'll see.
We'll see if that's the case. Trump wants Iran, it has no cards and says the only reason it
is still standing is to negotiate. Iranians are better at handling fake news media and
public relations than they are at fighting President Donald J Trump. That's what he said.
He mocked Iran. Then he said the Iranians don't seem to realize they have no cards
other than a short term extortion of the world by using international waterways. The only
reason they are alive today is to negotiate President Donald J Trump. You're making waves
in China. Wait, really? What the hell? Actually, some sort of tension going on between Hasan
Paker and the democratic establishment. I want to talk a little bit about that today.
I don't think the real problem is that because Hasan is loud or he has very controversial
talks. I think the real problem is that he talks about the politics in a way that
the establishment cannot control. He keeps pushing people away from the party branding
and back towards class, labor, war, donor money and corporate power. And once people
start asking who actually funds the party, like APEC or corporate donors, who influence
the rules and why workers always get empty promises while donors always get the results.
That's why we're...
I mean he's a Chinese national speaking English so it's probably his audience is mostly
American, right? Is he Canadian? If he's a Chinese national speaking English, from
China it would still be an American audience or a Western audience if he's
Canadian then it's definitely just a you know American audience I would say this
is not a Chinese netizen he's just Chinese Canadian. Nervous because the
narrative starts cracking you have to understand that the establishment
system hates people like Hassan Piker this kind of influencers because he
might be able to unite or at least try to unite the working class this is
dangerous for the establishment. They do not want that. This is why they keep
finding all kinds of ways to smear or cancel Hasan Piker. And then of course
there are also a lot of lazy attacks online. People say Hasan is not even from
working class. He comes from money and he's just lobbying as a working class.
Now you have to understand this. Historically a lot of revolutionaries
were not born workers. Lening was not. Chen was not. Fadal was not. Even Mao was
not from the poorest layer of a peasantry.
Mao came from more of a rich farmer background.
And this is normal.
A lot of political movements are first articulated by educated people from the petty bourgeois
east or middle class background.
The real question is not where you start or what class you were born into.
The real question is where you stand.
You do not have to born into the working class.
You fight for the working class.
And this is why I think people like Hasan Pagan matter.
He has helped push a lot of young people towards class politics.
And this is why the establishment side of the political sport, all right.
I did.
I reposted it.
Yes.
I was telling Mike this earlier.
The reason they're attacking you is because they actually fear people like you and Mike
educating us to a point where we can no longer be brainwashed by the system.
He lives in China.
Oh, nice.
Regardless, guys, guys, guys, that's true.
I mean, that is what it is.
There is a couple of different components of this.
there's a fear for mainstream outlets that they no longer have as much control over disseminating
information to an audience. Ironically enough, unlike many of my counterparts in the independent
side, I rely heavily on mainstream reporting, constantly glaze mainstream outlets and
have many friends that work in legacy publishers and understand the necessity for good journalism
to continue happening.
So that's one thing that is, I think, a differentiating factor between me and someone like Joe Rogan
who is against mainstream media entirely and does a whole bunch of other stuff on top of
that, like has a whole bunch of other nonsensical beliefs on top of that, right?
So that's all this is.
So like there is a reason for why some in mainstream Alice on the liberal side that clearly don't
like what I'm doing.
They don't like that I'm anti-Israel.
They're pro-Israel.
They can't really openly glaze Israel as much anymore.
So they find attacking me to be an easier way of tackling the growing anti-Israel wave
in the base.
They can no longer scold the overwhelming majority of the masses about their beliefs, so they
they try to fucking go after someone who is a megaphone.
There you probably sat across the table from Prime Minister Netanyahu more than any almost anyone else out there and he in Israel or of course big factors here.
There's been recent reporting you probably saw in the New York Times that Netanyahu was taken into the situation where he basically pitched Trump on attacking Iran.
Were you ever a part of any conversations like that?
I know he's made that pitches to past administrations.
Were you ever a part of that?
And were you surprised that he was
able to convince Trump to do this?
Well, I was part of any number of conversations
with Prime Minister Netanyahu, conversations
with other countries.
But if him pitching the US to strike Iran.
Yes, he wanted us to strike.
He came to President Obama.
He made a presentation to ask the strike.
President Biden refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused. The only president who
has agreed to this obviously is President Trump. And it's really-
This is not even a secret, right? This is only shocking to you if you are totally oblivious
to the Netanyahu demands that have existed. This demand is not new. Benjamin Netanyahu
has openly said he's wanted to do this for 40 fucking years, okay? Like this was his ultimate
dream. This was always the final prize, okay? Netanyahu personally has been agitating to do this.
Even before he was prime minister, like he would constantly do those fucking idiotic
power points like, oh, Iran is three minutes away from a nuclear weapon for, since like the 80s.
Okay. Bro, it kind of, it's, it's literally at the same time that Israel was arming Iran,
Benjamin Nenia was running around being like, bro, devastating stuff. Okay. Devastating stuff.
they're gonna get a nuke. Like Israel was arming Iran. And Benjamin Netanyahu was still like,
we gotta nuke him. We gotta nuke him, please, we have to nuke him. So, that's just, you know,
been the case. Trump and Israel agreed to include Lebanon. They included Lebanon from the start.
CBS News diplomatic sources confirm Trump personally agreed Lebanon was part of the ceasefire Israel also agree to the terms that Israel bomb Lebanon now
Withstanding the agreed upon ceasefire. This is yesterday's news. I covered this at the piker broadcasting service for tomorrow's news today
Okay, obviously
If you like to support the PBS piker broadcasting service all you need to do is subscribe for six dollars or for free with church prime
What you can do
by
Subscribing for free by connecting arms on prime account to your twitch account. We get one free prime subscription a month use it on your favorite broadcaster
PBS you can also get gifted a sub if you're lucky
but yeah
Always Israel breaking the ceasefire. Yes Israel only knows one speed and that is ceasefire means you cease and we fire
Exclusive league footage from the first US Iranian meeting about Hormuz. Yeah
Where was it? Trump held a tense call and then yesterday before Israel announced ceasefire talks to Lebanon on CNN reports
It was made clear that if BB didn't move direct towards direct talks Trump might declare a ceasefire that tracks with what Trump told me in yesterday's interview
Yeah, I don't I don't think any of this matters. What matters is what Israel does right? What Israel says is utterly irrelevant
What America says utterly irrelevant the only thing that matters is what Israel does
What Israel says in Hebrew might be a little bit more relevant than what Israel says in English.
What Israel says in English is utterly irrelevant in material.
Hello.
Oh, someone is bored.
Someone wants attention.
What's up?
You didn't get your energy out at the park today, did you?
That's what it is.
Disregard Israel's English statements, unless you want to see what they're trying to
trying to propagandize to the Western audiences, right?
What?
Look at this, hold on.
Hello?
Hello? Hello?
What's happening?
What do you want?
What do you want?
She wants uppies. That's what she wants. She wants uppies. You want uppies?
Oh, you're so silly. You're overshadowed. You're overshadowed, goober.
What are you looking at? Huh? What are you looking at? What are you looking at?
I can't.
Oh, little baby.
Let her stream.
She is streaming.
This is her streaming.
This is her contributions to the stream.
Okay.
All right.
Daddy's got to get back to work now.
Okay.
Okay, should you looking at the camera,
getting your 15 minutes of fame?
Yes, true.
Anyway, where were we?
Rick, all right, here's JD Vance.
Hey guys, good morning.
Thanks for coming.
Look, we're looking forward to the negotiation.
I think it's gonna be positive.
We'll of course see.
As the President of the United States said,
if the Iranians are willing to negotiate in good faith,
we're certainly willing to extend the open hand.
If they're going to try to play us,
then they're going to find that the negotiating team
is not that receptive.
So we're going to try to have a positive negotiation.
The President gave us some pretty clear guidelines,
and we're going to see.
So I hope you guys have a safe flight.
We'll certainly take some questions later on.
But for now, let's get on the plane and hit the road.
Thank you all.
Let's take you to Washington.
We can join our North America correspondent, Ione Wells, who is there.
So I only, J.D. Vance, the Vice President, on his way to Pakistan for these crucial talks,
possibly the hardest part of the job so far for him since he became the Vice President.
What is the narrative that we're now hearing from the White House and the expectations
around these talks in Islamabad?
Well, the message that we heard from J.D. Vance just before he set off was essentially
that if Iran is open, if they are negotiating in good faith, essentially, then he feels
there could be progress made, but if, in his words, Iran tries to play us, then the negotiating
team from the U.S.'s perspective won't be receptive. Now, that is obviously the U.S.'s
narrative. I think both sides are, at the moment, far apart when it comes to two of
the crucial issues that they said they had agreed on as part of this ceasefire. One
is the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has said that it's closed, that there is only certain
vessels allowed through. The US has said that it was agreed that it would be fully.
Yeah, JD Vance is going to go in there and be like, uh, have you said thank you? Foreign
Minister Orochi, have you said thank you? And they're going to be like, dude, what the
fuck were we thinking? Demanding JD Vance be at the high level talks. How stupid.
How stupid of us.
Danny Dennis Saternowitz from the Atlantic Council who has offered some sober insight
site, uh, regardless of, of, uh, the Atlantic Council's original position on agitating for
war with Iran, uh, since the beginning of this quagmire that, uh, has been, uh, delivering
devastating blow after blow to American military superiority.
Uh, he says recent moves suggest a clear symmetry going into U S and Iran talks.
The U S appears to be one backing away from its own ultimatum, pressuring Pakistan to
broker a ceasefire and helping draft the message urging Israel to halt operation
in Lebanon, largely overlooking the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, signaling willingness
to release frozen Iranian funds, indicating that talks will be based on Iran's original
10-points framework, sending the vice president for the discussions with the regime it tried
to topple.
Iran, meanwhile, simply shows up to the talks and didn't even open the Strait, as agreed.
While the administration suffers to pursue a diplomatic solution and halt the cycle
of escalation as commendable, the real issue is that Tehran is likely assumed
it is entering the talks from position of strength because it's true they are entering
the talks from position of strength.
Ultimately the administration will have to make a clear choice except the deal on terms
largely shaped by Iran, framed as a gracious compromise, or stand firm on its principle
at the risk of another round of escalation.
At this stage the least probable scenario to envision is Iran backing down.
Since Iran is taking significant blow with the serious economic consequences that shouldn't
be underestimated, any agreement will, almost by definition, strengthen the regime.
the same time another round of conflict is unlikely to bring it down and it costs and
its costs will only continue to rise.
Still at this stage, it appears that one side is much more eager to reach an agreement.
We will soon see whether and how that urgency translates into actual progress at the negotiating
table.
These are not easy choices.
Okay, there's also one principle that Danny Satrunowitz and none of these like
you know, Atlantis are factoring into the equation. Does the class know what
that factor is? It's Trump being a fucking idiot, and I'm not even joking when I
say this. This has been one of the primary reasons why any of this is
happening. Any other president, regardless of how evil they might be, would most
Most likely, look at the situation, listen to their generals, listen to the intelligence
assessment and would have told Israel to fuck off.
As a matter of fact, every single president before Donald Trump did tell Israel to fuck
off.
So clearly, Trump's mania, unfortunately, is a very important factor in this equation.
If not, the most consequential factor in this equation, okay?
He is willing to gamble on shit, even if he doesn't hold the cards.
So unfortunately, while Donald Trump is also very responsive and has pulled out in the
past of deals, or not deals necessarily, but has conducted deals with even militant groups,
like fully fledged, uh, fully fleshed out sovereign states like Iran, but like even militancies like
Assad Allah, when, uh, they were taking too much damage. Uh, he could potentially pull out in the
circumstance, but that factor, the dementia factor is still very important. Okay. Still, still very
important. Pakistan sources, Saudis and the Chinese will join the talks in Islamabad indirectly.
Saudi finance minister is in Islamabad. Pakistan is working to bring also the UN to the table
in an indirect manner. Significant statement from one of the men leading negotiations for
Iran Vice President Vance already left for the talks and now the Iranian parliament speaker says
negotiations won't begin until there's a ceasefire in Lebanon and Iranian assets are
unfrozen. I think as of now that did happen, right? Am I wrong? Did that happen?
The open, and certainly Donald Trump has repeated this line again in further truth social posts
that it is not the agreement we have, that it would be closed, but also fundamentally
they seem to both be far apart when it comes to what the agreement on the ceasefire actually
was with Israel increasing its bombardment on Lebanon, more than 300 people killed
in Israeli strikes, and Iran saying that Lebanon was supposed to be part of that
ceasefire agreement, the U.S. and Israel saying it wasn't. So I think there are still huge
gaps here when it comes to what is going to be discussed in these peace talks in Islamabad.
I think as well as you mentioned there, this is certainly a really difficult task for JD
Vance, possibly the most difficult that he's faced so far as Vice President, because
he is essentially being tasked with trying to negotiate a deal that will satisfy the
U.S., Israel, but also Iran, sides that are currently, as I say, not in agreement at all
really. But also, I think J.D. Vance, as somebody who has historically been anti-U.S. intervention,
will be thinking about how is a deal going to land with the sort of MAGA anti-interventionist
base that he himself has certainly campaigned on in the past?
And, anyway, thanks so much for that. Well, let's take you straight to Islamabad and
on our Pakistan, Carlisle and Caroline Davies who also on the one hand, Donald Trump,
he was saying, Iran doesn't hold the cards.
We're going to fucking cook them.
Okay.
On the other hand, Trump is literally saying, uh, that, yeah, straight
to hormones might not be open anytime soon.
Douts are prevailing in the White House and the U.S.
president Donald Trump now believes that opening the straight to hormones is
unlikely in the near term reports Reuters citing a White House official.
So, where are we at?
Okay, where the fuck are we?
You know?
Kind of feels like there's a lot of inconsistencies in the messaging
coming from the White House. And that's because
you have to look at what's actually happening on the ground.
And what's actually happening on the ground is the Shraddha Hormuz
still very much controlled by Iran. And America has no solution to uncorking the straight because
Iran has put the proverbial cork on the straight of Hormuz.
The only thing that hasn't escalated is Iran following Israel up the escalation ladder.
Iran has not actually done that.
Who is there, this is where peace talks are due to begin on Saturday, so much expectation
around them now carry.
Lots of preparations taking place in Islamabad, but have we got an official schedule yet?
Do we know exactly what's going to happen?
Basically, we don't have an official schedule yet at all.
However, we are starting to see some changes in the city.
I talked to you earlier about the fact that there was security around the red zone,
area in Islamabad, which is where the government buildings are, and foreign embassies. We were
down there earlier today and then we have been pushed back from the area just on the outskirts
of that red zone. We were told by the spokesperson for Islamabad police who was there when they
moved the journalists further out and further down that road, which is the main arterial road
into the red zone. We were told by him that there were going to be delegations on the way
soon. He didn't say how soon. He didn't say which delegations, which convoys were going
to be coming in. But we were then moved further and further out. So that secure area is becoming
wider and wider in anticipation of the arrival of these high level guests. Now of course
we know that daily advances on the way what we still don't have confirmation on is the
Iranian delegation's movements. We have had no confirmation that they have arrived
in Islamabad, we have had no word about whether they have left Iran yet either. So, at the
moment, that is still uncertain. That is still something that has not been publicly made
aware. But at the same time, speaking to Pakistani officials, they are all determined, saying
that, yes, these talks are going ahead, feeling very positive about those talks,
is the messaging that they are giving to us behind the scenes here in Pakistan.
But still many waiting to hear about the Iranian delegation, not least as you were
hearing from Joe Inwood's report earlier, talking about the questions that both sides
have about accusing each other of violating the ceasefire. And in fact, we did hear yesterday from
some Iranian officials who suggested that unless there was a ceasefire holding in Lebanon that
they might not attend the talks here in Pakistan. So still a lot of anticipation here
in Pakistan waiting to find out what is happening with the Iranian delegation.
Gary, thank you so much. Well, let's look at Lebanon, a senior official in the President's
office, has confirmed to the BBC that Lebanon will take part in direct talks with Israel
next week, but only if there is a ceasefire in place. Lebanon's health ministry is saying
more than 300 people were killed in the Israeli strikes on Wednesday, and a third
of those were women, children, and the elderly. More than 1,000 others were wounded. Our
The Middle East correspondent Hugo Bachege is in Beirut.
I spent the morning here in central Beirut where rescue workers are still searching through
the rubble for one or two people who believe to be here.
But two days after those horrific Israeli airstrikes, there's no hope to find anyone alive.
Residents are returning here and they're saying that they can't believe what they're
seeing.
They said they thought there was safe here.
For those familiar with Beirut,
we're just a block away from the Corniche,
which is one of Beirut's postcards.
Now, the Health Ministry has confirmed
that at least 300 people were killed,
a third of them women, children, and the elderly.
So Israel said it was targeting Hezbollah,
but many, many civilians were killed here.
And the authorities are urging the relatives
of those people who are still missing
who haven't been identified to give DNA samples for these identification process. Now the
fighting continues. There have been more Israeli strikes across Lebanon and also Hezbollah
attacks again.
It actually makes me wonder what can make Israel stop all these strikes like outside
of bloodshed. Would there be something else they want that could stop them from being
so trigger happy? No, because they're a fascist country and they are, they're in the
the Führer bunker stage, okay? This is final solution stage for them. They understand that.
They understand that. They're cooked. So for them, it's like whatever kind of bloodshed
that they can bring up at this point is good before America inevitably says, all right,
enough is enough. Some inside of Israel might think, like in the Israeli government, might
think they can actually take it one step further once, you know, they take over southern Lebanon.
Maybe they can expand in the Turkey, right? Some within the Israeli government think,
maybe they can take over more of Lebanese territory and then that'll be fine.
But for them,
especially considering the calculation and the lack of restraint in Gaza
has only given Israel more confidence to push for more and demand for more from the American side
And and receive those demands for the record. I mean we bombed Iran for the last 40 fucking days
It's it's becoming clear that this is a double suicide pack
I mean it was a double suicide pack with Gaza. I called it that back then and
The the less invested we are in reshining Israel as the American government the worst things are gonna get
They already moved on. Like Lebanon is already,
Lebanon is already a part of the puzzle for them. They're already trying to
establish a security corridor inside of Lebanese territory in southern Lebanon.
While some things are bombing other parts of Lebanon as well, not just southern Lebanon,
which again is already unacceptable. Like I don't know why we've moved on from that.
But they're now also openly talking about,
openly talking about like attacking Turkey. It's, it's envoys and its agents have already
started writing articles about how, you know, maybe Turkey's not a reliable ally to the United
States, right? We all know what that looks like. We all know when, when Israeli envoys
start writing those think pieces, when the foundation for defending democracy starts
publishing policy papers and urging caution about America's relationship with not only
NATO but with Turkey, then it's becoming increasingly clear that their next step after the Iran
destabilization has been implemented will be against Turkey.
Israel and a senior Lebanese official says that there will be no talks with Israel if
there is no ceasefire here first.
Hugo Bachega there in Beirut, we just have a line as well coming to us from the UN, from
the United Nations Children's Fund that in those strikes, that barrage of strikes in
Lebanon on Wednesday, 33 children were killed.
Well let's take you to Jerusalem now, we can speak to Joel Günter who is there for
us.
Joel, good to see you.
We now have a spokesperson for the Lebanese president's office saying these talks with
Israel are not going to take place in Washington unless a ceasefire is already in place.
Has there been any reaction to that in Israel?
Yeah, that's right.
A senior official from the Lebanese side telling the BBC that the talks simply wouldn't
take place without a ceasefire.
In the Israeli side, the Prime Minister here and Israeli officials have made it abundantly
clear that they have no plans to stop their strikes in Lebanon.
And those strikes have continued today following the devastating wave you've been talking
about a couple of days ago that killed more than 300 people.
So there is clearly an impasse there.
What the Prime Minister here, Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli officials are saying essentially
is that we're open to talks, we're open to direct talks with Lebanese officials, but we'll
continue to bomb Lebanon in the meantime as we see fit. And understandably, the Lebanese
officials don't see that as a solid foundation for talks.
There is also the issue of Hezbollah. This negotiations offer by Israel has been to
the Lebanese government. Now Hezbollah is the party that Israel is fighting with. It�s
not clear how much sway the Lebanese government can have at this point over that group. And
Hezbollah officials have said that they flatly reject these talks and that they, like
the Lebanese officials are saying, would require Israel to act first. They would
require�
I mean, it�s such a sad state of affairs and so transparent that people in the
Western world genuinely do not care about the lives of people living in Lebanon, the
lives of people living in Gaza, the lives of people living in Iran. It's just so obvious.
Israel killed 357 people in Lebanon in one day. Asal Rod says, do you understand the
level of impunity that you have to experience to come in a massacre than openly boast about
it? They did. And there was no strategic military objective for that too. They just
massacred 357 people in a matter of 10 minutes, because they wanted to show Iran that they
control America, okay?
That's it.
That they wanted to say, oh, you want to do a ceasefire where you're putting checks
on us?
Well, we'll show you that that's not the case.
It's barbaric, it's so unforgivably evil.
This is why I'm saying like Iran putting Lebanon and Lebanese ceasefire is one of the conditions
their 10-point plan was a way to draw a wedge between America and Israel, was a way to by
force get America to restrain Israel, right? They put that in there on purpose, not because
they like have a particular care or consideration for the Lebanese population. I mean, I'm sure
they do. There are definitely people who care, but like the strategic reason as
the why that's implemented. The strategic reason is the why that's added on as one of
the key points is twofold one. It shows that Iran is the party that wants to maintain global
stability here and Israel is the rogue actor. As Israel has shown again that it's the
rogue actor to the rest of the international community that wants the Strait of Hormuz
to be open, right? And two, it's to force a wedge between Israel and America. Because
at the end of the day, America is supposed to hold all the cards, and it still does.
We do hold all the cards. We were just, like hold all the cards, not against Iran,
Hold the cards in the relationship that we have with Israel
To maximize Lebanon's leverage as a sovereign state you tell Iran you brought us into this war
You have to include us in the ceasefire and you tell the US if you want to if you want us to break from Iran
You reign Israel in the Lebanese government is doing the exact opposite of both
Yeah
The Lebanese government is literally trying to cut a bilateral deal with Israel in on
U.S. soil, while also saying that they'll concede to the demands being made by Israel to restrain
his bullah.
It's unbelievable.
All the while, they're showing that they're incapable of defending their boundaries, their
borders, their sovereignty, and their citizens.
It's crazy.
I've never seen anything like it.
Yeah, these were some of the key details from the Financial Times piece
that was published earlier today.
It summarizes a lot of the stuff that I've talked about thus far.
This is from last night.
The Trump admin has been seeking a ceasefire for weeks,
at least since March 21st,
when Trump first threatened to destroy Iranian power plants.
Trump has been worried about oil prices
and was surprised by Iranian resilience.
Admin officials believe Iran would be more likely to accept the ceasefire if it were
delivered by a Muslim majority country and enlisted Pakistan for this.
Ceasefire periods between two weeks and 45 days were floated.
The Iranians were willing to budge on limiting their uranium stockpile.
Arakshi and other Iranian officials involved in negotiations had issues getting the
IRGC on board.
Some elements of the IRGC were strongly opposed to any agreement.
At least one senior IRGC official would be included in the Iranian negotiating team.
It's clear that there is one group that pretty much is responsible for the ceasefire to begin
with, that doesn't want the ceasefire to take place.
And that is the IRGC, okay?
The only reason why you haven't seen, the only reason why you haven't seen Iran get
back to the negotiations table with haste after America and Israel engaged in perfidy
twice, during the round of talks that took place before the 12-day war and before this
last Operation Epic Fury, is because the IRGC in the decapitation strike took control over
all of the most important elements of the Iranian government.
Do you know how many years it took and how pivotal the role is real played in America's
strategic interests in the region for them to be able to craft this unbelievably pervasive
lobbying arm for a foreign state without getting hit with fare restrictions.
Also this isn't to blame Israel for the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, but there was
one president that wanted to implement fare restrictions on the Israeli lobby and he
got fucking assassinated.
i'm not saying that it was israel i'm just telling you
there that was the last time i believe that that idea was floated
if there was an opportunity for a country with uh... strategic importance
that has been a reliable ally for many many years in the united states of
america that could potentially do that it would be turkey
and there is no fucking real turkish lobby there's no turkish lobby at all
Ironically enough, America is trying to do a coup in Turkey when they felt that Adelon wasn't sufficiently servile to the needs of the United States of America and would sometimes entertain the notion of sovereign decisions.
Last time the Turkish government tried to lobby someone who was fucking Eric Adams. Okay, and we all know what happened there.
So, that's the difference. No other country has this unbelievable bandwidth to do whatever
the fuck it wants. No other country gets to implement domestic restrictions on Americans
in the United States of America at the behest of a foreign nation like Israel has. There's
no other comparison. There's no country in the world that has this. A big part of the
reason why is because initially Israel played a very important role in America's objectives
in a resource rich region. This is before the fracking revolution that basically made
America energy independent. Okay. And Israel didn't just do this in the United States of
America. They did it in pretty much the entirety of the Western world. Anyway, Trump warns of
new Iran strikes if negotiations in Pakistan fail.
Grief and pain in Lebanon, where the war and bloodshed continue. Relatives clutch photos
of loved ones amongst the dozens of victims of devastating Israeli strikes on Wednesday.
In the capital Beirut, residents are still coming to terms with the scale of the attack.
I don't understand how more people aren't pissed off, but Israel is just phone calling our president getting what they want.
No other country can do that, but Israel.
Yeah.
Um, the reason why more people aren't pissed is because they're just oblivious.
Okay.
And part of the reason why they're oblivious is because what is the fucking mainstream news covering?
They're not covering that.
For the most part, they're covering, you know, people like myself and, and how damaging I am to the cause of the Democratic party.
in unison with the entire Republican propaganda apparatus.
So, you know, the outcome of that is gonna be
a lot of people being misguided.
They're gonna be oblivious to what's truly happening.
In a normal world, in a world where, you know,
the media was actually doing his job,
They would be offering wall-to-wall coverage to the amount of instability Benjamin Netanyahu
brought about to not only the ceasefire process, but also previous iterations, but they don't.
That will change eventually though.
The very fact that New York Times was the one that reported on the internal instability
caused by Israel implies that things are changing.
The New York Times is a Zionist newspaper.
Let's be real, right?
It's a very pro-Israel newspaper.
So the fact that it's Maggie Haberman
that is reporting on how much Benjamin Netanyahu
has pulled inside of the administration
means that things are changing
in a more positive trajectory.
However, it's taken far too long.
But it is significant.
Come on, this is the newspaper
wrote the Screams Without Words article claiming that Hamas was engaging in mass rapes directed
by Hamas command. It is with no evidence whatsoever for it. As a matter of fact, all the evidence
that was presented have been destroyed at this point. That was only two years ago.
So the idea that the idea that that newspaper in only fucking two and a half years would
turn around and write an article that harms Israeli interests like this is fairly significant.
The house and other things can be replaced, but parents, children or a wife, they're the
most important things. The real problem is the body and soul. May God compensate us
for our loss. Israel's bombardment of Beirut has for now stopped under U.S. pressure.
But it's continuing in the south of Lebanon, as is Hezbollah rocket fire across the border.
Ongoing violence here were the early threats to negotiations between Hezbollah's sponsor
Iran and America set to begin tomorrow.
This President J.D. Vance, however, sounded optimistic as he set off for the discussions
in Pakistan.
We're looking forward to the negotiation.
I think it's going to be positive, we'll of course see.
As the President of the United States said, if the Iranians are willing to negotiate
in good faith, we're certainly willing to extend the open hand if they're going
to try to play us.
God, I hate him so much.
He's so untrustworthy and also totally unqualified for this.
But it's just like, I just, oh God, I hate him.
He is so fucking cringe as well.
That insult to injury, he is just a cringe ass loser.
Then they're gonna find that the negotiating team
is not that receptive.
President Trump himself was more belligerent.
The Iranians don't seem to realize
they have no cards he posted,
other than a short-term extortion of the world
by using international waterways.
The only reason they're alive today, he added.
He is so unbelievably smarmy and elitist with the way that he communicates in the exact
way that people find Democrats to be annoying losers, okay?
He has that libtard energy, JD Vance does.
It's so insincere.
He has this like annoying, mealy-mouthed, palenial energy that he brings to every single thing
that he says.
And I think that's precisely the reason why he is going to lose in 2028.
If there is a 2028 election and if JD Vance is the one who runs, obviously there's a lot
of, you know, there's a lot of different cards at play there.
But it's just, I think pure vibes alone, he is just fucking repulsive.
It's to negotiate.
But for now, the Strait of Hormuz, the crucial gateway for global oil supply, remains closed off by Iran.
This official declaring it would not return to its pre-war system of control, whilst the
Speaker of Parliament today insisted on a ceasefire in Lebanon ahead of the talks.
In the Pakistani capital, all expectations are the negotiations will begin.
Officials here have acted as mediators and the mood remains hopeful.
We know that there would be many players within the region who have some idea, distorted idea
of a ritual war, a permanent war.
But having said that, the players who matters more are more determined than them to bring
down the peace.
The gaps between the two sides remain vast, with Trump sticking to demands Iran stop all
nuclear enrichment, a condition the regime has consistently rejected.
And Iran stands hardening from before the war.
Inside the country, there may be relief the bombs have stopped, but for those opposed
to the regime, there's little hope for the future.
It has been clear from the beginning Trump was pursuing his own goals, which were not necessarily
tied to those of Iranian people seeking change.
It had nothing to do with the interests of the Iranian people.
People need to understand that no one is coming to save them except themselves.
This war has taken many lives and led to much destruction, but Iran's regime feels
It has emerged with the upper hand.
Well, in the last few minutes, the Lebanese Health Ministry
has increased the number of people killed in Wednesday's
strikes on Beirut to over 350.
Harry Fawcett is in Tel Aviv.
And our US editor, Anushka Astana, is in Washington.
Let's go to Harry first of all.
Harry, apart from 2,000 miles away,
where does Benjamin Netanyahu stand going into these talks?
Well, in a difficult position, certainly domestically, here in Tel Aviv, earlier this morning, there
were sirens as a longer than usual range rocket was fired by Hezbollah towards Ashdod in the
south of Israel.
It was intercepted here over central Israel, but it demonstrated both Hezbollah's continuing
capacity to do that kind of thing, despite the amount of Israeli firepower unleashed
upon it.
But also the political bind that Benjamin Netanyahu finds himself in, because voters
here in Israel, by a majority, want the fighting to go on not just against Hezbollah, but also
Iran. And he's been telling them that there is no ceasefire in Lebanon. At the same time,
he has to satisfy Donald Trump, who wants him to, quote, low key in Lebanon. And Iran says the
fighting has to come to a complete halt there for the negotiations to get underway in Islamabad.
Also worth noting that today marks six months since the enactment of the ceasefire
in Gaza. And the Donald Trump Board of Peace has told Hamas that it needs to
agreed to its own disarmament by tomorrow, a reported eight-month phased plan also resulting
in Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. It's unlikely that Hamas is going to give an unqualified yes,
certainly on that timeline. But presumably even less likely that Benjamin Netanyahu in an election
year is going to pull out troops from Gaza, leaving Hamas there, leaving the Iranian regime in
Tehran. Both of them greatly diminished. But then what can he sell to the Israeli voters
in terms of what he can get from negotiations with the Lebanese government that would guarantee
his Bollah wouldn't be left in a civilized country.
Does Congress exist?
If so, why?
My civics class got me tripping, I think.
It doesn't.
And it hasn't for quite a while.
The unitary executive theory has completely won in Washington.
And that's been the case, especially since Trump won.
And it's totally gone in Trump too.
doesn't even exist. Everything is done by executive mandate at this point. It's
clear. And ironically enough, as long as you can cut out all the middlemen and go
directly to Donald Trump, as Benjamin Nenyao has, you can kind of control the
entire American foreign policy apparatus and therefore engage in
destabilizing and destroying global energy markets, as Israel has. That's where we're
at right now.
Situation if and when the fighting comes to a halt in Lebanon. Thanks Harry. Now
to Anushka Astana in Washington, where new inflation figures are spelling
bad news for the U.S. economy in Oskar.
You know, Caroline Leavitt, Donald Trump's press secretary, recently said he was always
the best read person in the room. Someone was sceptical about that, but I think the
point she was making was that the president is constantly watching TV news and reading
the headlines. Well, bad headlines today. Let me read a couple of them to you. Inflation
source to 3.3% driven by soaring prices at the pump and US gasoline prices are squeezing
consumers. Inflation has hit the highest point in two years and as you know it's being pushed
up by rising petrol prices. This, remember, comes just weeks after Donald Trump addressed
Congress behind me, his State of the Union address, and barely mentioned Iran but
did make out that falling petrol prices.
I think the most dangerous element in this back-and-forth conversation is not leaning
into and not standing firmly on the demands of Lebanon, okay?
America will unfreeze $6 billion of assets, as they have openly said they are, to advance
these negotiations, $6 billion of money that is Iranian money that was frozen by Qatar
and by South Korea will now be delivered to Iran. This is what, you know, Donald Trump famously
talked about with, uh, with, with Barack Obama claiming Barack Obama sent cash palates to
the tune of $1.7 billion to Iran. Now he's doing, you know, almost three times, I mean,
more than three times, uh, the amount. Okay. This was one of the, uh, this was one of
the the demands from the Iranian side in the negotiations. Okay, however, however,
this is, uh, this is not enough. Okay, because the number one thing that Iran should be doing
with its leverage currently is to force America to reign in Israel. Okay, if they just bribe you
into dropping that demand Israel will blow you up again that's it Israel will
continue to dominate the region Israel will continue his death and destruction
campaign Israel will only come back stronger okay the number one perhaps
most consequential demand that Iran has made so far is to force America to
restrain Israel. If they actually take the bribe, the six billion dollars in
unfrozen assets, and think, okay, they're actually bargaining and get faith,
they're eating the bait. Okay? That's what it feels like to me. Now, I'm not a
brilliant tactician. I'm not a, you know, I'm not a foreign dignitary or a
a diplomat that's been doing this for many, many years, I'm just simply looking at it
from the outside. There is a reason why, there is a reason why they added the Lebanese ceasefire
into the equation. And I will keep reiterating this point. The main reason is because
They want America to openly restrain Israel.
Israel clearly has desires of taking over Lebanon and,
and killing as many Lebanese people as possible.
That's Israel's goal.
Now that Iran has made that demand,
America has to restrain Israel.
If America doesn't restrain Israel and,
and even offers Iran more favorable conditions, like allowing them to continue enriching uranium,
for example, that will show us that their major problem here is they don't want to restrain
Israel, they don't want to stop Israel. That means Israel will come back, okay? That
means Israel will come back and do it again, and again, and again. The release of the
block that is not a new demand. This was a precondition for direct talks in both
previous rounds of negotiations specifically around one of the Trump
administration honored the terms of the 2023 prisoner swap to show it was
breaking with max pressure.
I'm telling you right now, the most consequential element of this
conversation straight up is Lebanon.
And it has nothing to do with the Lebanese people at all.
Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the Lebanese people and everything to do with the
dynamic of power between Israel and America.
Understand that that is the real conversation here and the most consequential aspect of
the back and forth.
If Iran leans into the favorable deal that they get that is beneficial for the Iranian
population and they decide, oh, good, we got what we wanted, way more than we demanded,
fantastic, we're happy with it now, we're reopening the Shredda Hormuz, and the ceasefire
is implemented, Israel will continue bombing Lebanon.
won't do anything about it. And once Israel is done doing a genocide, not dissimilar to
the one in Gaza in southern Lebanon, they will turn around and bomb Iran all the same.
Is that simple? I've been saying this from day one. The number one thing that has to
happen here. The number one thing that has to happen here is forcing America to
restrain Israel. That's it. The enrichment issue is ridiculous to even talk about
now. Iran already possesses a global economic extinction bomb and there's no
way to take it away from them. They effectively control two of the most
important economic choke points on earth. The idea that they're gonna go
rogue and nuke somebody is genuinely less frightened. When JD Vance says that the
president gave them clear guidelines, we understand that to mean that the
The US needs to go in there and tell Iran no enrichment period.
That is what we have heard from White House officials.
Remember, about six weeks ago, Steve Wittkopf and Chair Kushner were sitting there with
the Iranians and said, the US will give you all the uranium you want for peaceful purposes.
You just can't use it to enrich a bomb.
And Iran said, no, now they are, of course, adding JD Vance to the equation.
And so we'll see how things go.
We don't even really know what the format is yet.
had indirect talks last time these will be TBD. Well, when JD Van, what is this? The Washington
Times. The Pentagon has awarded a $4.76 billion contract, defense contract with Lucky Martin
to rapidly build up stockpiles of the Army's most advanced terminal anti-missile interceptors,
a weapon depleted during the heavy use in the war against Iran. No, you do this when
you have enough stockpiles famously. I mean, we already, we know that they've been demanding
advanced like rushed procurement. It's just given the state of affairs with defense bloat.
How many missiles they'll be able to make with that money? What? 10, 20, maybe 30 in
a matter of years and not, because our current capacity is 14 a year, I think, you know,
or 12 a year or something.
So let's say they doubled their, their manufacturing capabilities somehow, magically. Okay. That's
24, 28, less than 30.
What the fuck do you do with that situation?
It's cooked.
Our military is Gucci bullshit. I'm telling you. Yeah. 100% 100%
they saw fucking bells and whistles.
And, and it's, it's totally cooked by from China. America's going to site
buying missile systems from China. I don't think so. Okay.
I don't see that happening. Oh, the Eric Swalwell story finally draw former
staff is Eric Swalwell,
candidate for California governor sexually assaulted her and more and more people in the
know will come out eventually. This has been a thing that was bubbling up behind closed
doors for a minute. Apparently a lot of people knew about it too, which is crazy.
Lebanon's ambassador in Washington held the first phone call with Israel's ambassador.
Presidency says they agreed to hold the first meeting next Tuesday at the U.S.
State Department discusses ceasefire and the starting negotiations under U.S.
sponsorship.
I worked at Defense Contractor and I tried to warn you Law. I mean buddy I'm gonna
tell you right now, I have a lot of people that I know that work for defense contractors.
So I know you know that and you know I know that it's all bloat.
Just that they're dumber than you thought. Yeah, I mean, the thing is, if you're going
up against the country that's manufacturing indigenous defense for the purpose of sovereignty
and the purpose of security, it's obviously going to be a lot cheaper and also a lot
more efficient because they're going for efficiency.
Look no further than the F-35 program.
The F-35 program, in my opinion, is one of the greatest examples of defense bloat and
what the american military industrial complex is
uh... uh... manufacturing
desires uh... revolve around
the f-35
is a multi role fighter jet
has specific variants for each
individual branch of the military
the f-35 fighter jet when it's billed
for each individual branch of the military
is designed so that there is a maximum utility for maximum goals that you
know these different branches have right
what the reality of the matter is the f-35 program
uh... ironically enough
is is identical to all of the is identical to the way i see
you know apple manufacturing and changing out there uh...
uh... different components like the lightning cable and then they
uh... they move on from lightning cable u s bc why do they do that
because now you can sell more components the people
okay you force
the the people to purchase new components
every couple years
until they were forced to not do that by the european union
that's precisely how the f-35 program works as well
all of those different components of those different tools in the multi-role
fighter
uh... creates an opportunity
to to sell
far uh... they do sell all the bells and whistles
to sell all different kinds of bells and whistles of different branches to
sell
uh... different version of thirty five to different countries
The way that they presented, the way that they present this, this is, the way that they sell it to the public is because they moved to USBC because of the EU, what are you even saying?
USBC was universalized by force because of the European Union's restrictions. If it wasn't for that, Apple would be swapping out their fucking components every two years like they were.
That's what I just said.
European Union Regulators made USB-C the standard.
Apple was the first one to introduce USB-C to be fair on the 25th Demaquic, I know, but
I know Apple helped create USB-C guys, I know.
I know.
What the fuck is wrong with you guys?
I know.
There's no indication that they would have stayed on USBC if they weren't forced to, you know, make it universal.
Yeah, so one cable for all electronic device, no proprietary ecosystem that forced people to buy.
But the point I'm making about the USBC wasn't about EU regulations.
The reason why I was bringing up different charging systems was to make a comparison to how the F-35 works, the more components you have, the more modular the development is of this incredibly expensive project, the more parts that break down, the more areas of the more redundancies exist, the more areas where there could be points of failure.
That means more money. That means more money for the defense contractor. Okay? That's that's the whole point
You don't design weapons of war for for utility
You design weapons of war now in the United States of America for money for making more money to the defense for the defense contractors
And that's precisely the reason why when the F-35
flew over Iranian territory when it was supposed to be radar invisible and
And the most, I mean, the greatest version of American air superiority, because it was
designed with planned obsolescence in mind pretty much, not directly, but designed to
make money, to be a money making machine, it failed.
It received a devastating blow from a country that has, you know, loitering munitions
and anti-aircraft systems that are totally fucking haphazardly put together with created
for need, right?
Created by need and not necessarily created by a need to make money.
That's the difference.
Every mechanic knows how to maintain a Toyota.
ICE is not driving Hummers for a reason.
Yes.
It was hit with heat seeking munitions.
The weakness of the F-35 being targetable with heat-seeking munitions was known and well documented
but bloat has made the upgrade to cover it not available until 2032.
Yeah, your 100% correct, defense cautious do the John Deere shit of not allowing the
military to fix their own equipment and having to use proprietary technicians, it's all
a way to make money, to make more money.
You're fat and bald.
Okay, chatter
But do you guys understand the point that I'm trying to make here if you're going up against the enemy that has a
Fraction the size of your
Economy
And they are still capable
They're still capable of putting you through the fucking ringer, putting belt to ass with
your sophisticated weapons looking silly against the countries, against the much smaller countries
anti air defense systems.
You realize that if one side is working to just generate more income and the other side
is actually working to defend itself, the side that's working to defend itself through
asymmetrical warfare wins. And we're seeing what's going on right now with that equation.
We're watching it unfold in real time.
Capitalism has a corrosive influence in every aspect of our lives and national security
is certainly not immune to that corrosive influence of capitalism, okay? Now, obviously
the only reason why we're waging war in the Middle East is also because of capitalism to
begin with, but even then, it's a self-contradictory system that creates a need to go out and
wage war, but also even the tools of warfare that we're utilizing get increasingly worse
year over year or do not justify the increased prices year over year because the people that
are making these weapons are designing them not with efficiency in mind, not with utility
in mind, but instead, they're designing them to make more money.
This is what is known as defense bloat.
What?
I'm sorry, man, this is an L-take, nobody's immune to missiles, I understand the bloat
the spending tape with the jet is fine. It's still tanked the hit and flew back to base.
They've run hundreds of sorties. Nobody thinks the F-16 was a failure and we lost multiple
of those in the Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
All right, buddy, you're right. You're right. It's an L take totally. So why aren't they
doing sorties anymore over Iranian airspace? And no, it did not go back to base. As
a matter of fact, it actually crash landed in Saudi Arabia. You're wrong about that.
I don't know why you're saying it went back to base it crash landed in Saudi Arabia
And that's not the only f-35 that has had to crash land many of them have at their own bases when they're doing fucking training flights
So it's it's unbelievably stupid to say that about the f-35 of all fucking fighter jets
crash landed at their base. No, it didn't crash landed their base. He crash landed on Saudi
Arabian soil. Also, the F 16 has been in combat for fucking decades. The F 35 on the other hand,
is supposed to be our last gen fighter jet. Why do we have generations on fighter jets? It's
is because the next generation is better than the last generation or at least in theory it's
supposed to be a more superior system. It's currently our most advanced fighter jet in
rotation and it can't do fucking competent sorties over Iranian airspace with the whatever
kind of mobile anti-aircraft systems that they've designed in Iran.
You can turn around and say, oh, well, they weren't thinking about infrared optics, right?
They weren't, we didn't design this in with infrared optics and heat seeking missiles
in mind.
Well, that's ridiculous.
That should have absolutely been factored in.
And I, from what I understand, it also was factored in, right?
Isn't the, isn't the pain on it supposed to be like heat resistance and shit,
to like limit its heat signature. Obviously you can't literally make it invisible to heat-seeking
missiles because it's a fucking fighter jet. But the point of it, I know you can't really hide the
exhaust chatter, I know, but the point of it is to give it enough of a defense against every type
of readily available conventional weapon, every type of readily available anti-air defense systems
so that you can drop flares in mind. You can actually evade any sort of air defense maneuvers.
You can maneuver around any sort of like current readily available existing air defenses.
That's what air superiority is at the end of the day. It doesn't mean that you've
designed a fighter jet that has impenetrable armor or something. It just means that the
fighter jet has the capacity to to engage in evasive maneuvers before it gets
dinged. The fact that it got dinged implies that it's not truly an air
superior. It's superior enough. Yeah, it was supposed to know it was being tracked for example.
Didn't they not even take evasive maneuvers? No, they did not. They did not.
until they were hit they didn't even know that they were being engaged that's
why I think it like drop flares after it got hit right didn't issue flares after
it got hit or like during the hit
Anyway, analysis, the Lebanon-Israel talks are designed to prolong the war.
Amal Sa'd, lecturer in politics and international relations at Cardiff University, one of the
world's leading scholars of Hezbollah and the Resistance Axis, argues that the upcoming
Lebanon-Israel negotiations are a strategic tool designed to de-link Lebanon from the
Iran ceasefire and prolong the war on both fronts.
She says, they are not a genuine peace initiative.
This odd contends Israel knows it cannot achieve on the negotiating table would it fail to achieve
militarily?
No buffer zone, no Hezbollah disarmament, but hopes the talks will push Lebanon towards
internal civil strife, weakening Hezbollah and impoverishing its Shia constituency.
The Lebanese government, she argues, shares this goal while knowing Israel cannot deliver
it either.
On Iran, she says the diplomatic complications of Lebanon opening a separate track will
not weaken Tehran's resolve to keep both fronts linked, citing Supreme Leader Haminez
statement that Iran considers the entire resistance front as a single entity.
Her sharpest charge is reserved for the Lebanese government, which she says has become a co-belligerant
in Israel's war against its own people.
A form of wartime collaboration, she says, exceeds Vichy France in its cynicism and
one that demands a war crimes tribunal.
Wow!
He did not fucking spare the Lebanese government at all with this.
Holy shit, I mean she's absolutely right by the way.
One Hondo P.
You are correct.
These use passive infrared that doesn't actually give off any lock signals.
some speculation that Iran moved from radar to acoustic early warning systems, which may
be as simple as putting some microphones on trees. There's no stealth to that. Yeah, I
know. The ingenuity of countries that are fighting for survival versus countries that
have been dominant for decades as the hegemonic superpower is very clear in this dynamic.
warfare from a sovereign state that has designed its defenses to withstand every single thing
that America is throwing against them has proven to be successful. It's that simple. Okay? Is that
simple? That's where we're at. No-Haus radar observing material rampants absorb, absorb radar
waves and deflect some of them away from the source rate upper cannot mask heat. The F-35 does
a good job of masking its heat signature, but not for a sure-rat system relying on IR.
Also, you can't know you're being tracked to the system only utilizes an optic-not-radar.
Yes.
No, I understand that.
We covered the speculation around what Iran is using extensively from IDF analysis,
from American analysts, from random Chinese guys on the internet suggesting what Iran
could use to track American fighter jets?
I know.
They've said they use hyperspectral camera networks to visually ID in all spectrums passive so can't be detected commercially available take for a decade. Yes.
Well, to be fair, they're getting new tech from China and China has all the goods.
They're saying they're not using Chinese tech.
I don't know.
We do more ingenuity in America than anywhere else in the world.
It just never makes it out of the basic research stage because it's too expensive for defense
contractors to build.
I mean, it's not a secret that the American procurement strategies are outdated, not
Not just my assessment, one that even, even, uh, woke general Marx Milley, uh, in tandem
with Palmer Lucky has admitted.
Okay.
I mean, we saw this with Ukraine, okay?
We saw Ukraine.
the the Russian invasion of Ukraine absolutely changed the design of the
battlefield. It didn't render tanks completely obsolete, but it greatly
diminished its utilization on the on the battlefront. I mean because Ukraine
with the limited capabilities that they had started fucking lasering motherfuckers
with drones okay. Drone warfare became one of the most important one of the
most consequential aspects of both defense and offense and they've been
waging war on those fronts, and America is lagging behind on drone warfare, and the guy
who was complaining about America lagging behind on drone warfare happened to be Palmer
Lucky, whose drones were so bad, whose drones were so bad, the Ukrainians told them to leave
the country. Okay? Palmer Lucky got billions of dollars from the American government to
design the latest and greatest in drone warfare. Okay? He went on the drone rogan experience
and you know, talked about his new helmet and all this cool stuff that they're building.
Right? Oh, it's going to be just like Metal Gear Solid all the shit. He was asked to
leave the country. Rolls worst drone ever asked to leave the country. That's real.
Yeah, Palmer lucky's drones were so fucking bad that the Ukrainians were like dude. You can't it's over. You get the fuck out of here
Meanwhile
Rangetal is like talking shit about the the indigenous drone defense industry in Ukraine
As as Germany is moving in that direction as well, which is again, you know, regardless of whatever political position you may have
have, Ukrainians have genuinely played a formative role in revolutionizing drone warfare.
It's true.
Or not Rheinstahl, sorry, Rheinmetall, not Rheinstahl, I apologize.
Lucky con marks luck to almost put all metas money into VR funny little man. Yeah
Ryan metal. Yeah
Anyway, Trump just posed a shred of election interference for Hungary, saying America will
invest in Hungary if they elect Orban.
Yeah, who's going to stop him?
Are you going to stop him?
Federal prices were a centerpiece of his presidency.
It just shows you the domestic pressure he is up against.
As is our Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, touring the Gulf right now.
Yesterday, he admitted to ITV News he sped up when the actions of Putin or Trump affect
energy prices back home.
today he hasn't repeated that language but he has talked about the long-lasting
effect of all of this. We come away from here with a real desire on their part to
work more closely with us on defence resilience, on economic resilience,
that's really important to us because this is impacting us back at home, our
economy. There's a sense here as there is I think in the United Kingdom that
this conflict is going to define us for a generation and we must respond and
we will respond with strength.
You know, I think we've had a glimpse of Kirsten on this
frustrations this week. That's why he's leading efforts to
reopen the straits of hall knees. It is the same issue which is on
Donald Trump's minds. People are desperate for this to come to
an end so that the global economy will calm down. But the
red lines of both sides are still quite far apart.
Thanks, Oscar.
Right now, Vice President JD Vance heading to Pakistan for
high-stakes talks with Iranian representatives as Tehran holds a firm grip on the Strait of
Hormuz as President Trump also telling the New York Post the US is quote loading up the
ships with the best ammunition the best weapons ever made and warning if there is no deal those
weapons will be used. We've got Fox team coverage man. Also don't know why Cure's
prepping the UK for war breaking the UK is preparing a new version of a major
plan to raid the whole nation from the military and police the hospitals and industry
for the transition into war. The head of the armed forces has told Sky News. Who are they
going to war with, bro? I don't even understand. Like what the fuck? Are they going to war with
Ireland? Like what's happening? Time to take back Australia and Ireland. We must wage
war. The time for war is now. France, of course, they just randomly decide to attack, uh, they
just randomly decide to attack France. For king and for god and for country. Whole world
gone mad, dude. Probably to defend Greenland now. Also, who the fuck in England, in the
entire United Kingdom, is feeling patriotic enough to wage war at the directives of cure
fucking Starmer. Like the vibes are atrocious for good reason. Okay. Like, I don't think
it's happening, but what do I know? The British government will do anything but offer a moment
of respite, economic respite to its population, okay? They will do literally anything, anything
else. If you like, yes, you would like the establishment of council housing in your neighborhoods
and normalize the housing market prices. Best we can do is waging war for Israel, for God,
king, but country, the country of Israel, people in the UK like, please a crumb of
healthcare, please the NHS has been underfunded consistently for years, like
please we need more doctors, we need more nurses. What the fuck are you doing?
They're like, oh, you want doctors, you say, well, you'll have combat medics.
They'll patch you up, good chap, when you're getting lasered by Shahadrohs.
I'm at Faneh Dubai, but first to our Chief Foreign Correspondent, Trey Yinks.
He's live in Tel Aviv for us.
Trey.
Yeah, John, good afternoon, Vice President J.D. Vance and Special Envoys Steve Wickoff
and Jared Kushner on their way to Islamabad, Pakistan for these high-stakes talks that
are set to begin tomorrow morning.
This comes after a new statement from the speaker of the Iranian parliament, one of the
men responsible for negotiating on behalf of Iran.
He says, quote, two of the measures mutually agreed upon between the parties have yet to
be implemented.
A ceasefire in Lebanon and the release of Iran's blocked assets prior to the commencement
of negotiations.
These two matters must be fulfilled before negotiations begin.
Now, the president spoke today with the New York Post, and he said, you're dealing
against people that we don't know whether or not they tell the truth.
The president went on to say, to our face, they're getting rid of all nuclear weapons.
Everything's gone.
And then they go out to the press and say, no, we'd like to enrich.
So we'll find out.
The president clearly keeping open the door to diplomacy here, but preparing for the
possibility that these talks fail.
The region waiting to see what the outcome of the conversations will be in Islamabad
as both Iranian officials and U.S. officials appear to be discussing different sets
of terms.
Now, one issue that is a sticking point right now is whether or not Israel will
will be able to continue strikes against Iran's largest proxy in the region, Hezbollah.
Overnight, Israel struck a variety of launching positions in southern Lebanon, and shortly
after Hezbollah launched a rocket that triggered sirens in Tel Aviv.
I want to tell you, there is no ceasefire in Lebanon.
We continue to strike Hezbollah with force, and we will not stop until we restore your
security.
Our great achievements, both in Iran and against the axis of evil, have-
This was really funny because he also in this talk complained about Spain as well.
I love, I love when like someone who is transparently a fucking monster turns around and still has
the audacity to complain about criticisms that he's receiving from international former
allies.
Okay.
It's awesome.
You don't have a leg to stand on you ugly bitch.
You are the fucking manifestation of Satan and you're out here complaining, look, look,
look, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister, Satan Yahu, complains
about Spain.
Israel will not remain silent in the face of those, in the face of those who have
defamed, in the face of those who attack us.
is defamed our heroes the soldiers of the IDF the soldiers of the most moral army in the world
oh sure bud the most moral army in the world it's the most evil army in the world what the fuck
therefore i have instructed today to remove spines representatives from the coordination center
He's like, we're bombing the Tel Aviv Spanish embassy next.
In Kiev, God, after Spain has chosen repeatedly to stand against Israel.
Those who attack the state of Israel, instead of terrorist regimes, brother, you are the
terrorist regime, will not be our partners.
Do you think Bibi knows who you are?
Let's just say I've heard from insiders,
this is like third hand knowledge at this point, that yes.
There has been one conversation
where apparently I was brought up
in front of Benjamin Niniyahu, where he said,
I don't know, I don't know how reliable it is.
Again, it's like third hand information, right?
Third hand account.
And he said that myself and
No, no, it's I'm I'm not a threat. I'm not a threat because I'm seen as too radical
That was the assessment
We're going to future the region. I'm not willing to tolerate this hypocrisy and hostility.
I do not intend to allow any country to wage diplomatic war against us without paying an
immediate price. Jewish insiders tracking your every move. Yeah, I mean, obviously,
Yeah, yeah, political union to host the Sompire for debate on ending the American Empire
God
Are they going to hit Spain? Who knows?
This is newsworthy for Jewish Insider. Anything that I do is newsworthy.
I could literally let out, I could release a fart that turns into a shark and they would
write about it. Antisemitic terrorist influencer, Hasan Piker shits in his pants, offends the
sensibilities and the senses of all that's around him. A spokesperson for Yale University
told Jewish inside of the student organization the response were issuing their own invitation
to speakers at the same time Yale was committed to maintaining a diverse, vibrant and respectful
community with free expressions is a fundamental value and shared responsibility. Universities
dedicated to providing a space where differing views can be expressed in her
respectfully. Yeah, they told them to respectfully fuck off. That's what they
did. Bro, these college campuses hosted fucking Itamar Ben-Givir. It's not even a
question. You do that, you have to literally allow an American citizen who
has spent a fucking lifetime combating anti-Semitism while being an about
anti-Zionist. If you, at that point, if that's like, especially right now when
Israel is the primary villain of American society for many Americans at this point.
It's just not even a question. This will invite additional scrutiny to Israel.
This, if they, if Jewish insider was successful, if Laura Loomer was successful in demanding that
Yale stop this speaking engagement from taking place, I don't think they understand.
like that would, once again, not help Israel's objectives at all. It would unironically, it would
unironically boost my profile. It's just, it's so stupid. Tharko's prediction, the reason why
Trump is trying to shit on NATO on public opinion is that they don't want to have to respond when
Israel attacks Turkey or whoever in NATO and article five is declared. I don't know about
that I mean maybe
I just got a Twitter at trashing on you from some or called no labels yeah
they're not just attacking me they're attacking Bernie and AOC as well so how
do they hate you but like Charlie Kirk going to colleges when he was saying so
much worse shit what are you talking about Charlie Kirk was pro-trump and pro
Israel. The fuck? That's the only thing they care about. That's the only thing many of
these people care about. Charlie Kirk genuinely does not rock the boat. He's an opposition
figure. He's pro-Republican party. He was firmly within the system. He was a propaganda
and a mouthpiece for the Republican Party. And also on top of that, he loved Israel.
I saw an all of a sudden being treated like the arbiter of progressivism in the Democratic Party.
He's a threat to APAC by corporate Dems.
He's calling it like we all see it.
First thing I found out about Slough, it was that she refused to do debates because she
was the bigger name.
I root it for her, but she's another establishment Dem no longer trust there.
Bill Maher says something absolutely disgusting every single show.
A person who isn't scared to debate, what, LeMau?
Oh look, the billionaire-owned media going after the streamers.
Dems are right-wingers like Bill Maher.
Jesus Christ, they're cooking on TikTok.
Yeah. And then this guy goes, Hasan has made multiple race in anti-medicine.
He's praised groups like his Bala and Houthis, including explicit praising, uh,
their war crimes against civilians,
teardown Russian imperialism in Ukraine, especially Crimea.
And it's in favor of Chinese imperialism in Tibet and their threats of
imperialism in Taiwan. He openly does not believe in democracy.
The democratic party is right to shut them out and not listen to him.
He literally does hate America and he's an enemy to actual anti-fascists and anti-imperialists. Wait, what?
I'm a genuine enemy to actual anti-fascists and anti-imperialists who are, of course, currently
defending a CIA agent that personally did, you know, personally was embedded and played a role in
in the Iraq war.
pronato western enemies be like yeah
you're the biggest bad even over the country doing false uh... full
send child murder i can't yes
these are people who unironically
making the position without
actively saying it but they're making the position that like
a bridge too far for me
is an anti-zionist twitch streamer
who i will disparage in smear
but you know what's actually in the coalition
you know who i will talk to directly
actual baby murderers
okay
the people who have committed
children the holocaust of children in gaza people who are
hundreds
of civilians in lebanon right now
A country that has brought us into war with Iran and destroyed the global energy markets.
Look at every single decision that they've made in the limited, especially with Elise
Slock and in the limited time frame that she has.
Why are you afraid of APEC?
They can't ignore these voices in the real world yet.
That was India Walton.
They're waging war against me at a time when the overwhelming majority, the overwhelming
majority of the population has my opinion.
They've arrived at my conclusions that I've carried for many, many years at this point.
It's not going to fucking work.
Look, not to give free game to any of these Democrats, but ironically, if they were actually
serious about like winning and faking their support for the Palestinians, they would
try to welcome me with open arms and then neuter my message. That would be the smart
play to try to lean into the credibility that we have in this community as being anti-Zionist,
as being anti-Israel. They would lean into us and then try to make it seem like they're
actually sufficiently anti-Israel when they're not. Not that it matters. I'm not giving
them actual fucking ideas chatters because it won't work, obviously.
But the very fact that they're not even attempting to do that, but instead trying to shut me
out of the fucking conversation, when shutting me out of the conversation is not going to
actually lead to any success that they want, because, you know, I'm still here, it doesn't
fucking matter if I don't stand side by side with like candidates, I can still endorse
them from afar. Okay? And even if you were to deplatform me, the anger and restraint of
the anger and resentment that the people carry is not going to go away, right? It's just
stupid very silly they're afraid to even co-op Zionism the same way they co-op to
be eliminated yeah
bro what are you the only Sam Harris fan on the planet who gives a fuck about Sam
hair is dude what's next dude Ben Shapiro also got mad at me yeah these guys are
fucking Israel first who cares it's so funny this guy's just spamming he's like
dude you gotta watch Sam Harris clip calling you performance artists here I'll
give you some free ball as well if you want me to actually watch a clip like
that you should probably subscribe so you can actually have access to send me
links. There's no guarantee that I'll click on them. But if you probably linked me that
clip, I would at least hover over it and make a decision in the moment. This kind of spamming
is not going to fuck them work. Okay. Subscribe to the Piker Broadcasting Service if you
want to be a nuisance. You're talking to a bot. It could be.
Yeah, Sam is so unhinged. He said Mamdani is an Islamist and all of his affordability is a charade in his wait for the Islamic resurgence
Yeah, he is an unbelievably brainbroken Islamophobe and it's really funny
Yeah, his his
His first principles is just like advancing Islamophobia once you realize that
Everything else is is
inconsistent
Any more on shitting on you in this pretty particular moment is Israel first. There's no other explanation. Yes
Or at least like clearly leaning into
Very clearly leaning into that that you know or or trusts is real first messaging
I
I think everyone's technology develops is literally becoming a walk-in performance for others to watch big brother shit sure
This is this is happening right now actually three people stand up in succession and shout DNC chair Ken Martin to release the autopsy of 2024
Martin had promised transparency and then did not release it and
This is
This is happening currently the first person was India Walton
What is happening right now?
What does released autopsy mean?
So the DNC conducted an autopsy into why they lost the 2024 election and they never
released it and the suspicion for why they didn't release it, at least according to some
of the groups that they actually leaned into for this autopsy, was because what it showed
was a big part of the reason why they lost was because of the gazagenicide and their
continuation of the gazagenicide. It played a big role in it. I suspect it's even beyond
that, however. And I fear that even if the autopsy were to be released, the autopsy
he would be a fairly conservative estimation. Okay?
Even then, even in the most conservative estimates, they still don't want people to look at exactly
why the DNC, or the Democratic Party laws, you forgot the part where the DNC chair said
he would release a prior, yes. Iran delegation led by Parliament Speaker
Mohammed Bagar Galibath and Foreign Minister Abbas Araqi was received by Pakistan's Defense
Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir. Araqi looking cute. Here she's so funny.
Here it is.
Abbas is kind of short now.
Yeah, he's got he definitely has aura
Root he's a short key he's a short key he's working
He's piss rail gonna bomb Pakistan now I don't think
I think he's short and still moxie.
Yeah, scoops.
Them working on secret report found Gaza cost Harris votes.
This was the only Holly Otterbine reported on this.
This was one of the only things that we know about the autopsy.
I'm willing to bet if they did, if they conducted a serious autopsy on why they fucking
lost, it would look a lot like the major.
They would look a lot like the things that I pointed out in the lead up to the election
and said would cause them, would cost them votes and would cost them to lose the election.
Leaning into Republican framing on key issues like immigration, not having any sort of,
not having any sort of conviction, looking inconsistent, looking hypocritical, looking
cowardly looking far too conciliatory on on right wing framing on key issues
linking up with Liz Cheney most lethal military those are all major points
But Gaza played a pivotal role, and they won't release it.
They won't release the autopsy.
And remember, that autopsy in and of itself is the most conservative autopsy.
So that's like, that's most likely, there's most likely the, you know, most favorable
thing that you're going to hear about why the Democrats lost.
Anyway, we got the SWALWO story we'll cover in a second.
We talked about the Lebanon situation, let's get back to Benjamin Ennio complaining.
brought about a historic change in Israel's status in the region.
We do know next week Israel and Lebanon are set to hold talks in Washington, D.C.
aimed at disarming Hezbollah and creating peaceful relations between the two countries.
But Hezbollah is a different topic.
This Iran-backed group has fired rockets and drones throughout the day into northern Israel,
and they are understood to be a very difficult one to attend a negotiating table with.
with. We do believe to get more information in the coming hours about a possible ceasefire
between the two sides. John. All right, we'll see you trade eggs for us with the update
tray. Thank you, Sandra. All right, let's get right to Matt now live in Dubai as other
nations in the Gulf continue to come under attack Matt. Be sure to like and subscribe
for all the f*****g s**t.
Those who survived returned to devastated homes and businesses.
Some just marvelling, they'd got out alive.
People were crying, shouting.
This is our name.
Actually the head, he stopped it.
And went down all the way.
This was the bedroom where Malik's mother slept.
parents lost their family home but somehow escaped with their lives.
So how are your parents coping?
Because they must feel they've had the narrowest of escapes.
Yes, it was actually, I don't want to say American,
but it's actually something almost like it is.
We cannot believe.
Now 24 hours, we cannot believe that they are still alive.
We are kissing their legs every day.
every hour we cannot believe that they escaped from this disaster.
In this video taken 24 hours earlier, you can hear the panic in Malik's voice as he hurries his elderly mother out of their home shortly after the string of airstrikes.
Have you seen this? Analyah May, this is my district where we fuck, I don't have a lot of money and I'm triggered as fuck, please make it make sense.
We're getting hit with the Federmann Ranger within weeks of the election.
Yes, I will be covering Adelaia Meia moving in the direction of Jay Street versus Brad
Lander moving away from Jay Street, even though he's backed by Jay Street as well.
I'll explain it. I'll explain it to you in a second. I'll get to that eventually.
I don't know exactly what that means. We have to wait. It's not a Federman moment,
but I do think that Jay Street is actively trying to design a landing pad for
for Democrats were Israel skeptic to still maintain some connection to demands being made
in the direction of Israel.
Jay Street, I don't think shies away from endorsing candidates that have said certain
things, but I don't like, they, they, they, we'll get to it, we'll get to it, we'll
get to it.
will get to it eventually. Okay. What is this? Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you with
a new global superpower Iran, breaking short of Hormuz transit fees to be paid in Iranian
currency Iran proposes. Anyway, let's continue seven floors and emerge onto ground level,
as a pile of rubble. Just behind is his father Bassem, gingerly making his way over broken
steps. The couple lived in this block for decades. They knew all their neighbours, who are also
mostly pensioners. His mother, who's nearly 80, is bleeding slightly. Her rescuers tend
to her wounds, but they don't seem serious. Neither pensioner would appear to be ideal
his baller recruits for fighting. The collapsed roof you can see is what their
7th floor apartment now looks like from the outside. And they're not alone. All around
them on the Cornishal Mazra in central Beirut, there are broken homes and broken lives.
This is a densely populated area, home to a diverse community, packed with families
workers, businesses and cafes. In a few minutes, it became a bloodbath and the area scattered
with body parts. First responders found utter carnage when they arrived.
First I was realising I arrived at Gaza of the Beirut at the same point. It was the
same as Gaza, disaster. That people in the world, in the world, know. Here, literally
There is a woman separated from people.
What is that?
This is a woman.
Barely recognized as a human?
No, no, no.
This is a Shabiliah of people who live in this car.
They tell that there is Allah in the house.
There is no Allah in the house.
All the people here is Shabiliah.
And everybody who loves him, we don't care.
We are working only for the human nature.
Dr. Ganda tells us he was in his dental surgery when the building was hit.
His office and everything in it is crushed.
He was trapped under rubble for two hours and has only just returned from hospital when
he talks to us.
Your business is gone now.
It's gone.
You're just accepting it?
No, I'm not.
What will you do now?
I will search for a place to sleep.
That's the first priority.
I'm just going to tell you how to do it.
Where do you think you'll sleep tonight?
Where will you sleep tonight?
Where?
Friends, family.
There are still multiple people missing in multiple locations,
and the recovery operations are going on with little chance of finding any more survivors.
They search instead for clues, which at least may lead to identification and answers for
grieving relatives.
Nadim's brother died in the shop where he sold nuts.
He saved the towel his brother was clutching for their mother.
It smells of him, he explains.
Why are innocent people being killed?
What are the targets?
What's the goal of this war?
Who is benefitting?
Can anyone answer these questions?
What is the benefit of this war?
It is more panic, and people take to the streets in their vehicles again.
There's another Israeli military warning to leave a spread of neighborhoods in the capital.
The area targeted includes two major hospitals, the Ministry of Health and five shelters
housing families.
Dude, it's crazy that on the one hand they show like all of these babies that have
been killed.
Okay?
And then on the other hand they keep framing Israel's militancy, Israel's death
in the destruction campaign here as targeting his beloved.
That's not the reason why Israel is bombing Lebanon, okay?
It's bullshit.
That's complete and utter nonsense.
The reason why Israel is currently bombing Lebanon is because they want to show that
they control what happens in the ceasefire negotiation and not the United States of
America.
Iran came in, recognizing Israel's capacity to manipulate the American side and made this
demand on purpose.
Not just because they care about what happens to Hezbollah or the Lebanese people or the
entire axis of resistance.
Okay?
The reason why Iran made that demand was because they wanted to draw a wedge.
They wanted to drive a wedge between Israel and America, a demand that America restrain
Israel.
Okay, that's the reason, sorry, Iran, not Lebanon.
Iran made this demand, tying Lebanon into one of the 10 points
in the ceasefire negotiation,
because they wanted to force America's hand
into restraining Israel.
I'm telling you right now,
that is going to be the most consequential element
in the ceasefire.
If Iran gives up on that, they're cooked.
Okay?
I tweeted as much here as well. Ali Ahmadi, Ali Ahmadi says, I think what the U.S. and
Israel did regarding Lebanon will turn out to be a huge strategic mistake. If they left
Lebanon alone for two weeks, they would have had two weeks of economic pressure released
through Shadda Hormuz being open while they put a new military plan in place. The short
sided decision to keep bombing Lebanon now allows Iran to keep the trade closed, meaning
the economic pressure builds over time. Every day the trade is closed, the economic
problems compound until now buffers in the global economy, floating storage,
et cetera, have held off the worst outcomes, but those buffers are fast
depleting. Meaning by the time the U.S. wants to restart the war in two weeks,
it's going to be facing a far greater economic pressure.
Then Yashida, done what he does best, manipulating the U.S., negotiating
position to make a deal impossible. If it wasn't already, then he could go
right back to this after two weeks of oil flowing from the Gulf.
Instead, he just decided not to accept two weeks of peace.
I don't see how this is workable. The major concern now for us Lebanese
that the government are going to direct talks with Israel in order to form peace between them
and isolate His beloved to attack them in all aspects.
Ali Ahmad says, I don't see how this was workable, what Israel wants is civil war in Lebanon,
true.
I'm sure the Lebanese government wants to bend over backwards, but another civil war
in Lebanon will be more ruinous than the status quo.
Remember, energy shocks work sequentially, not simultaneously.
What makes this shock mild compared to the previous ones isn't its depth, it's
very deep, but that it's only been going on for 7 weeks rather than a year like in 2022.
Two more weeks is a long time.
Forcing America's hand to restrain Israel is the most consequential demand.
Okay, I will repeat this over and over again.
If Iran takes the unfrozen assets without reaffirming their commitment to the acts of resistance ceasefire,
they will give up on the most consequential demand, which is everything to do with forcing America's hand into restraining Israel.
All the U.S. concessions pale in comparison.
Okay?
That's it.
That's it.
If they are able to even stop Israel for two weeks or however long,
that means that they are capable of telling america to tell israel to fuck off
i hope that they don't
uh... fall victim to whatever sweetheart deal that america
gives iran
and and tries to entertain
tries to entertain
the the need that iran has for uh... economic recovery
because i suspect
given how much
The United States of America has been willing to drop everything to preserve the current
relations that it has with Israel, and willing to destroy the entire planet at the behest
of Israel's goals, regional goals.
I suspect that America is going to offer Iran whatever the fuck they want.
long as Iran stops the demands for the Lebanese ceasefire.
The problem is China, they seem to benefit from Israel taking Lebanon out so they can
take Taiwan.
I mean, China can do whatever the fuck it wants.
And I do think that China, that's the Washi Journal reporting that you're talking about.
Okay, the Washi Journal reported that China is actually trying to restrain Iran so
that they can go back to Donald Trump and say, hey, you gotta give us Taiwan. It's a breakaway
region. It's a breakaway province. Enough is enough. Let's reverse this, let's reverse
American foreign policy on this and just reaffirm that Taiwan is China, right?
That is the Wall Street Journal.
I don't believe that.
I think China is demanding restraint from Iran.
China absolutely is telling Iran to get to the ceasefire and to cut a deal with America
and to cease its hostilities.
I believe that.
Financial Times also reported that, right?
However, the reasoning behind it is wrong.
washi journals uh... analysis on that is wrong inches pro empire propaganda it's
bullshit
because china has tremendous leverage over america if they want to take over
taiwan
uh... it militarily if they want to take over taiwan diplomatically if they
tell america to stop sending weapons i want
they have all the cards they could just fucking have that conversation totally
separately
china's interest in the gcc and in the region
for chinese interest only it is nothing to do with taiwan
because the gcc
a major source of energy for China and the entire Asian markets. China wants to look like the stable
partner, the reliable ally for all of the Asian countries. Okay, and it's been working in their
favor. These last 40 days have been tremendously beneficial for that desire. Okay. But the
But the other reason is for personal reasons, I mean, they get all their fucking oil from
the GCC nations.
They get all their gas from the GCC nations, right?
Large parts, large chunks, large shares of their oil and gas come sometimes directly
from Saudi Arabia.
Sure, they're responsible for like 80% of all oil and gas coming out of Iran, but
But that's a marginal percentage in comparison to how much they get from Saudi Arabia.
So they don't want, they do not want this war to continue.
So in such a direction that like Iran hits the maximum version of military deterrence
and permanently destroys the oil and gas industry in the region, okay?
That's the main reason why China wants stability.
That is the most consequential aspect.
That's the most consequential interest that China has here.
Okay?
Why would China pressure Iran, not US and Israel?
Because China has tremendous leverage over Iran.
That's my frustration though.
My frustration is about China not trying to leverage anything over Israel.
even as far as we understand, not even going to Israel at all to be like, dude, you got
to cut it out.
What the fuck are you doing?
Not even pressuring Israel at all.
China pressuring is Western propaganda.
No, I don't think it's Western propaganda.
I think, I think China wants Iran to, to get off and get to the C.S.F.R.
table for sure. Otherwise, otherwise, a rock sheet would not be so prominent in the conversation.
Otherwise, Galabath would not be so prominent in the conversation. It would just be the
IRGC's show and they would be continuously pummeling the GCC and Israel until Israel
is forced to restrain itself.
That's the way I see it.
They say the same thing about Venezuela.
I don't know what you mean by Venezuela.
I will tell you, China is understandably worried, a lot more worried about the GCC being destroyed
because it gets a lot of its energy from the Gulf, not just from Iran, but from Saudi Arabia,
from Qatar, I think as well. And therefore, they want stability. They always want stability.
China has always demanded stability. China brought Iran and Saudi Arabia to the table
to engage in a successful ceasefire. This was pre-October 7, of course, but they did that.
Actually, as a matter of fact, most before October 7, they did that. That might have
even played a role in Iran not engaging Israel militarily after Israel went over a
pre-established red line in the acts of resistance that demanded military deterrence immediately
if Israel militarily invaded Gaza.
China is pissing me off. I mean, their desires are their desires. You know, we're Americans.
It's, we have far more moral culpability in this process than fucking China does.
So while I do not believe that China is forcing Iran to reach a conclusion in the ceasefire
because they want to use it as a bargaining chip against Donald Trump and convince Donald
Trump that Taiwan is a breakaway province, I do think that they want Iran to get to
the table and and achieve a ceasefire so that the region is stable again, at least in the
short term.
Lamau, Edison, learning that China can be self-serving to protect capital. That's so
funny that you're saying that because I've talked about this a million times over.
It's not new man.
I don't know why you think this is like a new assessment from my end.
What do I always say?
China only cares about selling the boobles more than anything else.
They're trade maxing.
If they don't trade max they die.
I had an old friend who I filmed saying he didn't know who the hell that was when
asked him about you for the fifth time do you want to watch a clip no
and now we're gonna open up the Gulf with them with or without them but that'll
be open we're gonna be or the spread as they call it and I think it's gonna go
pretty quickly and if it doesn't we'll be able to finish it off one way the
other. It's going well. The the Navy is gone. The
Air Force is gone. All anti aircraft is gone. The
leaders are gone. The whole place is gone. So we'll
see how it turns out. So it's JD and Steve and
Jared have a good team and they meet tomorrow. We'll
see how it all works.
No, we're not going to let that. It's international
water. If they're doing that, nobody knows if
they're doing that. But if they're doing that,
we're not going to let that out.
No nuclear weapon, no more.
I think it's already been regime change.
I think if you want to learn about how this process is going, Trump, and I've been saying
this consistently, is the worst person to ask.
I know it sounds crazy because he has, he's one of the most, if not the most powerful
person on the planet.
Okay?
But I genuinely think Trump is the worst person to ask direct questions about how things are
going.
Because he's one, fucking demented.
And two, doesn't know what his next move is personally.
Okay?
Like, Donald Trump doesn't even know what he's gonna say next.
It's just impossible.
impossible to make sense of whatever the fuck he's saying. So this kind of stuff I
don't think is very productive. I think the reason why he keeps saying that no
nuclear weapon is because that's a concession that Iran made even before
This war so he thinks he can get something out of that
So he's just framing the situation as a victory ahead of time even though it'll be major concessions the Iran
Okay
Like as far as the 10-point plan goes Iran said we're gonna continue doing sovereign nuclear
nuclear-grade
uranium enrichment
right
He already said that the Iranian side already said that but the Iranian side had already conceded on that point
So, I could totally see Iran throwing a bone to America to, I don't know, ship out some
enriched uranium or something, okay?
And maybe he knows that that is the likely outcome, and that's why he's presenting it
ahead of time as like a major W. When they ask him like, what's your primary objective
here?
He's like, oh, the nuclear stuff, the nuclear does, we got to get it out, we got to get
it out of Iran. The reason why I think he's saying that is because if Iran leans into
that as a concession to the American side, while America releases their frozen assets,
America releases some of their sanctions, that'll be seen as a major concession to Iran.
And a lot of people in America would get mad at Trump, but Trump is trying to frame
it as a, this was my only objective anyway, ahead of time.
But the straight will open up if we just left the straight's gonna otherwise they make no money
So the straight's gonna open but what we have is no nuclear weapon
But we'll open this remember when the 12-day war when you said Iran is being too restrained
And we began questioning whether they indeed have the smoke could that have also been them under Chinese pressure?
No, I think Iran
Was was behaving in a restrained way because all the people that got fucking murdered on the first day
and you know 49 or 40 days ago were the people who genuinely were like no no no
if we just do tit for tat strikes they'll eventually realize they'll
eventually negotiate with us it was just wrong it was just naive it was stupid
you know I'm sorry it just wasn't a smart move at all straight anyway don't
forget we don't use the straight other countries use the straight so we do have
other countries coming up and they'll help out.
But we don't use it.
It won't be easy.
It won't be — I would say this.
We will have that open fairly soon.
The Press.
The Press.
The Press.
Excuse me?
The Press.
The Press.
What's your backup plan, Mr. President?
The Press.
You don't need a backup plan.
We have — the military is defeated.
Their military is gone.
They have — you know, we've degraded just
about everything.
They have very few missiles.
They have very little manufacturing capability.
We've hit them hard. Our military is amazing. The job they've done.
If someone has done talks, what do you hope will happen?
I don't know. I can't tell you. I have to see what happens tomorrow.
They've been talking for 47 years with other presidents, and we're not doing much talking.
Thank you very much.
Thousands of people, yet more forced to flee their homes, joining more than a million others
already displaced, living rough on the streets or in the back of their cars. More than a
fifth of the population have been terrified into moving there.
Just kilometre after kilometre of displaced people who have just fled and now parked
on the side of the road and all their belongings, everything they own now in that vehicle.
This is if they're lucky enough to even have a vehicle.
Many of them are just on the pavements now.
This country is shattered, and its economy busted.
The numbers killed and we're...
Should Vans feel worried knowing what happened for previous negotiating teams?
No, I don't think Israel's gonna fucking assassinate J.D. Vans chatters.
I mean, give it like five more years, okay?
We're not there yet.
But if the dynamic continues, if the dynamic between Israel and America holds, then sure.
It won't even be on Pakistani soil. It'll be on American soil. Israel will be like we're killing the president today
We didn't like that. The president wouldn't allow us to move into Greece after we have you know destroyed Turkey or some shit
Undered arising every single day. It's people desperately want the war and the killing to stop
Alex Crawford Sky News Beirut
Let's speak now to Ambassador Danny Danon, Israel's permanent representative to the United
Nations.
Ambassador Danny, thank you.
Oh, God.
My favorite.
My favorite.
Thank you very much for joining us here on the program.
In the last 48 hours we've seen the deadliest attack on Lebanon since the start of this
conflict.
100 strikes in 10 minutes, killing over 300 civilians, including women and children.
Was this an attempt by Israel to undermine the ceasefire?
Thank you for having me, Yelda.
There is no ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
Prime Minister Netanyahu said it very clearly.
We are targeting Hezbollah terrorists.
And I want to remind you that Hezbollah started this cycle.
You know, we spoke in the past many times.
We signed a ceasefire agreement only in November 2024.
But it was Hezbollah, again, that decided to attack Israel,
attack Israel, launching rockets on our communities, and we take actions. We don't take any chances
anymore. We're pushing back Hezbollah from our border to the northern parts, and we're
targeting Hezbollah targets. So, you know, I heard also your interview with the minister
a minute ago. Not one word about Hezbollah, but you have to understand, it will not
be quiet in Lebanon as long as it's not quiet in Israel.
Well, can I just say you say that you're targeting Hezbollah, but densely populated civilian
areas were struck, where the elderly were killed, small children were killed, mothers
were killed, doctors, poets. As I said, these were densely populated areas, civilian areas
with people who had no affiliation to Hezbollah.
First of all, we regret the loss of life of any civilians period.
We are doing everything we can to minimize civilian casualties.
We notified the population before we strike.
We give them a head up.
Most of the villages in southern Lebanon, mostly the Shiite villages, are empty now
because we gave them a proper warning and they moved up to the north.
So we will continue to do that, but at the same time, you know, once you seek
his balance next to your house. There were no warnings. This court this nation by surprise
where you basically launch. Wearing a middle part is crazy. This man is a caricature of
a villain. He is one of my favorites. Out of all the war criminals, if there was a ranking,
I would say he's probably my favorite because he sounds so fucking stupid is he just sounds so ridiculous
Both with the contents of his message and also just how he sounds in general
Like this is a man who in his first day
basically as the UN ambassador
went to the United Nations headquarters and
And successfully got the United Nations headquarters to take down children's drawings
Claiming that they were Hamas drawings because they had
The word peace on it, okay
From that point on it's like you are my favorite like you will I know one will ever hold a candle to how
how psychotic you are. It is just unbelievable.
Have Barra!
You know, a hundred strikes in the space of ten minutes, and many of the civilians say
that they've received no notification, and that's why we're seeing the death toll,
way that it currently is and you by hitting these civilian areas you've
breached international law, you've breached humanitarian law and as you heard
there from the minister there they Lebanese ministers are accusing Israel of
committing war crimes in this country.
You're absolutely wrong. First of all, Hezbollah is targeting civilians in Hezbollah.
So we have the right to defend ourselves and we do not target civilians.
He literally said, he said, maybe not in this interview, but in a previous interview, Israel
has all the right to target civilian territory.
We have the right to kill civilians, but he literally said that you have the right to defend
you.
Let me finish my sentence.
We target military targets, terrorist targets, and if they are hiding, we will find them.
So, you know, the blame is on Hezbollah, and, you know, we've got a few minutes, and
every time you go back to the main issue, you forget about the existence of Hezbollah.
You know, and I speak with my Lebanese colleagues, and I tell them...
Ambassador, I know, but Ambassador Danon, you...
No, you cannot know, you speak about everything else, but you actually miss the main point...
But many of these...
The main point that Hezbollah...
No, but I'm asking about Israel's actions.
I'm asking about Israel's actions, because the buildings that you've struck, witnesses,
emergency workers, the medics that are right there, are saying that those buildings were
civilian areas.
I will bring you back to the point.
You were going to ask everything you want, but I will bring you back to the root cause
of the problem of the conflict.
For decades.
Yeah, this is him.
We have a legitimacy to target those civilian targets, and I would advise the Iranian
to believe whether it's wrong.
Yep.
That's, you know, that's their, that's what they got.
They got nothing.
I mean, this is, they're unrestrained.
Why should they even make an argument, honestly?
Who's going to stop them?
America won't.
And therefore, the rest of the world has no motion.
Actually, that's not even true.
The rest of the world could apply tremendous pressure both to the United States of America
and to Israel, but that would require them to unite and none of them ever, ever want to
fucking go against the United States of America ever.
We are fighting Hezbollah for decades Hezbollah in control of Lebanon.
So you cannot speak about the suffering in Lebanon without me.
I mean, let's not act like both sides don't switch up with what they say.
What both sides, what are we talking about?
We were talking about the nuclear armed genocidal apartheid state versus a paramilitary movement
that exists only to fight back against Israel when Israel chooses to do Liban's realm in
one of all of its neighboring countries.
There's no both sides in this.
There's no both sides with the Israeli government versus Hamas.
There's no both sides with his beloveds Israel. It's fucking totally ridiculous. Totally ridiculous.
What is the cause of that? They started this cycle of violence again 40 days ago. So now
to come to this point.
But Ambassador, you have an obligation under international law, under humanitarian law to
ensure that you do not target densely populated areas. And these areas, the buildings that
we struck were civilian areas that had no affiliation with Hezbollah, that weren't military
installation. And that's why we are seeing a high number of civilians, including women
and children, killed. I mean, there are the profiles of these people. I'm here in Beirut,
and I've been speaking to officials. I've been speaking to families and those who
have been impacted, and they were civilians.
Yilda, we are targeting military sites of Hezbollah and unfortunately, you have thousands of sites.
Hezbollah is targeting civilian communities in Israel.
As we speak, you have Israelis in shelter in northern Israel.
And you cannot ignore the fact that the Lebanese government and the ministers don't say the right things,
but they don't take actions against Hezbollah.
You know, how many troops they have sent to southern Lebanon?
How many incidents were between the Lebanese military and Hezbollah terrorists?
We know the truth. We know the facts.
We know that Hezbollah is running the show in part of Lebanon.
And until we will face this core issue, we will continue to speak about that, you know,
and they will be suffering in Israel and they will be suffering in Lebanon.
We have to realize that together we have to take an effort, as he said,
effort to uproot Hezbollah from Lebanon.
This is the only way forward.
Otherwise, there are going to be more cycles of violence, more tragedies, more sufferings
for both sides.
Ambassador Danon, you've mentioned those Lebanese ministers who continue to be outspoken against
Hezbollah, who want to and are pushing for talks with Israel, who have condemned Hezbollah's
actions going back even to the beginning of this conflict six weeks ago, accusing
Hezbollah dragging this country into this war, but they've also accused Israel of-
Hawthorne, can you explain your criticism of the Lebanese government? Are they letting Israel
bomb them? I don't get it, yes. Yes, they are. They don't like that Hezbollah is putting up a
fight. The Lebanese government doesn't like Hezbollah. They don't like that Hezbollah
has a standing military force. They don't like the Hezbollah. The fact though, the only
standing military force, the Lebanese army doesn't do anything but retreat. The Lebanese
army is not there to defend the borders of Lebanon. It never has been. The Lebanese
government in the beginning of the last 40 days operation, Epstein's fury, straight
up tried to get the Lebanese army to attack his Bullah as Israel was invading Lebanon.
And the Lebanese army was like, no, we'll retreat, but we're not going to fucking fight.
We're not going to fight against our own countrymen at the behest of a foreign invading force.
Like what the fuck?
But because, like, Unifil doesn't matter, right?
The Lebanese military doesn't matter.
There's no force, with the exception of his beloved in the country, that is willing to
fight against Israel and willing to, to stop Israel from advancing, okay?
Because the United States of America, clearly, is letting Israel run the fucking show.
That's what's going on currently.
And it's not even my assessment any longer, judging by the events that have taken place.
But it's also backed up by the New York Times' reporting and the CBS reporting that came
yesterday where Benjamin Netanyahu made a phone call to Donald Trump after Lebanon was
one of the 10 points made by the Iranian side and the ceasefire negotiations that
America said yes to. Okay, America agreed to that. Iran agreed to it. America agreed to
it. Israel said fuck off. Israel called Benjamin Inyo called Donald Trump and said no, we're
gonna keep bombing Lebanon. Trump told him just keep it low key. Israel did not keep
but low-key at all. Israel engaged in the most deadly, no advance warning, missile strikes
on Lebanese territory that didn't even have anything to do with Hisbola either. Like there
was no, it wasn't even just like the Shia population that were bombing. Israel struck
of Lebanon and in a matter of 10 minutes killed more than 300 people.
Support JD Vans and calm to take control of the country so we can finish this mess and
support the Catholic Unite.
Solution is JD or someone Catholic like Joe Biden.
Joe was the one who Israel can't force the war because he was a Catholic.
Are you fucking delusional?
Joe Biden is genocide Joe.
He fucking bearhugged Benjamin Neniyahu.
He could have stopped the shit a long as time ago and Donald Trump would probably not be
the president if he was able to do that.
Most of the genocide was conducted under Joe Biden's leadership with the weapons that
we sent to Israel, the fuck kind of crack are you smoking on.
And then on top of that, the claim that JD Vance is as a Catholic going to restrain
in Israel, you are delusional, buddy.
We're trying to turn this country into Gaza.
But you know, declarations are not enough, you know, we don't do respect, and we respect
the statements from the leadership in Beirut.
But it's not enough.
They need to take action.
Is it a sovereign country or not?
If it's a sovereign country, they have to take actions against out militias that
sending rockets to another country.
You know, we did not start this cycle.
It started when Hezbollah decided to join Iran
and to attack Israel.
So no one can blame Israel for retaliating.
And I think now is the time for the Lebanese government
to decide whether they need to go back to Hezbollah
to continue to attack Iran or to take action.
Ambassador, but Israel does have an obligation
under international law to ensure
that they don't hit densely populated areas.
Does it or does it not?
We act according to international law.
And our intention is not to hurt civilians.
We do everything we can to minimize civilian casualties.
But you have to understand, when
Hezbollah terrorists are hiding behind U.N. facilities
and behind civilian targets, unfortunately,
there will be casualties.
Same way that we have casualties in Israel
when they target civilians.
So we will do whatever we can to minimize that.
But if someone wants to feel safe in Lebanon today,
he should not be next to Hezbollah, bunker, or a launcher.
And you know, you can tell it.
You can tell it when you see one.
Like I said, I mean, the areas that
have been targeted, densely populated areas in central Beirut,
in downtown Beirut, are not places where they say
that they were military installations or a Hezbollah stronghold and increasingly ambassador
Danon and the international community is condemning Israel's actions. Countries like
Italy, France, Spain are saying what Israel is doing is is breaching international law.
Well, we all do respect to the country you mentioned. We respect them all. You know,
when he decided to attack Israel, I can't listen to him any longer, bro. He just
keeps saying the same thing over and over again. What the fuck? It's insane.
One of the deadliest attacks in debt. Oh my God. ABC had rain on.
Whoa. That's crazy.
Okay. Um, I'm going to move on from this and, and take a sidestep for a
brief moment here. Okay. Here's the Iranian delegates to talk.
Never during the GCPOA did I see such a large and senior Iranian delegation
and Kalabov may meet directly with Vance. Before the Iranians refuse such meetings,
they agree now because they see themselves in a far stronger position.
I don't, I'll be honest. I have my concerns about this.
I have many concerns about this.
Axios citing sources Beirut and Washington requested a temporary halt to
attacks on his below from Israel before direct negotiations.
Yeah.
Also other additional breaking news.
Many hours requested a cancel this testimony at trial for the next two weeks
because he has a separate case.
corruption case. He has requested to cancel the testimony and trial for the next two weeks due
to security-related reasons connected to the dramatic events. Why are you concerned about this?
Too many high-profile figures are involved in the talks directly. Israel has no investment
in a real ceasefire, doesn't want a ceasefire at all, and I worry about the ceasefire holding
in some respects without meeting the primary demand that Iran has made which requires America
to restrain Israel, and I worry about the ceasefire not taking place at all and it exploding
in some capacity, again, due to America constantly following Israel's demands.
At this point, it's just like, at this point, Israel is so insane and so unaccountable
that they could do anything, dude. I don't think they'll be able to successfully strike
the Pakistani talks. Obviously, Pakistan has its own air defenses, its own air force.
It has the capability of protecting its own airspace. However, you never know with Israel,
You know, you just you never fucking know and they got nukes. I
Mean didn't stop them from shrugging. Doha. Doha is very different than Pakistan
Pakistan has nuclear arms and a competent Air Force. That's not it under the control of the United States of America
But Pakistan is deeply infiltrated by the CIA and the ISI is basically a cutout for the CIA. So
There's that element
Right
So
It's different than
Cutter as far as sovereignty cutter is not a sovereign nation. Let's be real
It hosts the largest American military base in the region
So what America says and what Israel says goes in cutter
The success of these talks relies on Trump understanding he's been defeated, a thing he
which he's notoriously unwilling to do, that's not true, that's not true.
Trump has waved the white flag against Al-Sadrullah.
But that was not as consequential as this one.
Trump has retreated from attacking Zana.
That's a very important part of this analysis, very important, that's a very important pivot
point to go back to.
Trump has, Trump has absolutely shown restraint in the past and has pulled out.
So what?
Permaband him, Hassanabi, Hale Hitler, what?
Is this guy trying to get me permaband by saying Hale Hitler?
What the fuck?
Brother, you didn't even write it correct.
It's bots.
Anyway, all right, we're going to take a sidestep here.
The last thing I was going to show is President Lee Jae-myung posted this video, or reposted
this video from the junior account, which is so crazy, of IDF soldiers allegedly torturing
a passing kid and then throwing him off a roof.
And he reposted the saying, I need to look into whether this is true and if so, what
measures have been taken.
The force's comfort women, the force comfort women issue that we are raising is no different
the Jewish massacre or wartime killings. That is a major, major statement coming from a key American
ally that is designed as a bulwark against Chinese influence. South Korea has already pissed off that
they took their THAAD launchers away and panic shipped them to Israel. It's an old video I know.
Israel's foreign minister says the remarks by President of Korea, Lee Jae-myung, including
the trivialization of the massacre of the Jews on the evil Holocaust Remembers Day in
Israel are unacceptable and warrant strong condemnation.
President Lee Jae-myung, for some strange reason, chose to dig up a story from 2024 and cite
a fake account that falsely presented it as a current event.
This account is notorious for spreading anti-Israeli disinformation and falsals
about Israel.
The event discussed occurred during an operation against terrorists at a time when
Israeli soldiers were facing direct enemy arrests to their lives.
The event was thoroughly investigated and addressed two years ago.
So how was it addressed?
Yeah, we have not heard a single word from the President of other terrorists who were
at the center of this event, nor have we heard a word from the President regarding
recent Iranian Hezbollah terror attacks against Israeli citizens.
Mr. President, it's always better to check before posting.
Yeah, I mean this is a major blow to Israeli diplomacy and even South Korean diplomacy with
the United States of America.
I like that the Israeli Foreign Ministry's statement here was basically, how dare you
trivialize the Holocaust?
Yes, we can throw kids off of a roof if we choose to do so as a treat because we
were scared.
Great. It's a great take. Fantastic, honestly.
Anyway, let's get to Eric Swalwell. This is a huge story.
Eric Swalwell is currently the Democratic front-runner in the California-Goober-Natorial race, the governor's race in the state of California.
Okay. However, Eric Swalwell, it seems,
had a litany of allegations against him that were kept private,
but it was, I guess, like a known secret.
And SF Chronicle, Bust of the Case wide open, is this, does anyone have a removed paywall
as of Chronicle link. Yeah, let's see if I can read it without paywall. Oh, I guess there
is it. Okay, never mind. There's no paywall on this. Thank God. San Francisco Chronicle
reports ex-staffer says Eric Swalwell, Canada for California Governor, sexually assaulted
her. A woman who worked for nearly two years for Representative Eric Swalwell, a leading
candidate for California Governor, said she has sexual encounters with him while he was
her boss and alleged he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent.
Swalwell did not respond to any of the former staffer's specific allegations made
in a series of interviews with the Chronicle and provided a statement Friday. These
allegations are false and come on the eve of an election against the frontrunner
for governor, he wrote, for nearly 20 years I have served the public as a prosecutor and
a congressman, and have always protected women, I will defend myself with the facts and where
necessary bring legal action.
My focus in the coming days is to be with my wife and children and defend our decades
of service against these lies.
Late Thursday, an attorney for Swalwell sent a cease and desist letter to the woman,
saying she had made false statements accusing Mr. Swalwell of sexual assault and non-consensual
sexual encounter and threatening to sue her if she did not retract her allegations.
The woman says Swalwell began pursuing her within weeks after she was hired at the age
of 21 to work at the Democrats' District Office in Castro Valley in 2019.
Swalwell messaged her on Snapchat, she said, sending images of his genitals and seeking
nude pictures of her in return.
She says Swalwell, who was married and 17 years or senior, tried to kiss her in her
car when she drove him home from a donor meeting one night.
Driving him to another event weeks later, she says Swalwell pulled out his penis
in the car and asked her to perform oral sex on him.
She said she did so in a parking lot.
In September 2019, the woman said Swalva invited her out to drinks and she became so severely
intoxicated that she does not remember the rest of the night.
Fucking gross.
She said she woke up naked at Swalva's hotel bed and could feel the effect of vaginal
intercourse.
She says Swalva distanced himself from her afterward and the relationship faded.
Five years later, the woman said she attended an April 2024 charity gala where Swalva
was honored.
The woman, which no longer worked for Swalwell, said they met for drinks afterwards, during
which she became so inebriated that she only remembers snippets of the night, including
pushing Swalwell away and telling him no while he allegedly forced himself on her.
The woman texted a friend three days later that she was sexually assaulted by Swalwell.
She wrote in a series of messages a review of the Chronicle that she had blacked out
but woke up once during it and even told him to stop at one point.
This happened one other time when I was working with him, but I convinced myself
I was an equal party in it, even though the same pattern.
I blacked out and it's sex with me,
she wrote, referring to the 2019 incident.
This has the key markers of a reliable
and 100% true allegation of sexual assault, by the way.
Going to even a private third party immediately
or right around the incident,
even recalling a previous incident as well, talking about feeling the pressure to, talking
about feeling the pressure to not, you know, say something about it.
This has all the telltale signs of a, not an allegation that is, is inconsistent, but
an allegation that's consistent with like previous allegations made by, by people
who have outed sexual assaulters. Now, there's also another side of the story. One of the
things to look at, okay, one of the things to look at in this situation is other victims.
Not always, but usually there are these kinds of guys are repeat offenders. And from what
What I understand, from what I understand, Swalwell is a repeat offender, okay?
Eric Swalwell's season, this is the woman who came forward to share their stories of
sexual assault in the middle of the night.
Yeah.
The Chronicle spoke with the friend and the woman's then-boyfriend whom she said she
told about the alleged 2024 assault when she got home the next day, both described
her as still disoriented that morning, and her then-boyfriend said he encouraged
to report Saul to the police. The woman said she did not go to the authorities because she was
afraid they would not believe her. Medical workers show she obtained pregnancy and STD tests a week
after the incident. Okay. The Chronicle shared a detailed summary of the woman's account with
Swalva's campaign on Thursday. Swalva's attorney, Lea's DeBay, wrote in the cease and desist letter
that the woman had exhibited the conduct of a loyal and supportive colleague and not a victim,
and that the credibility of your accusations is fatally undermined by your voluntary and cooperative
relation with Mr. Swalwell over the course of many years following the period in question.
The letter mentioned the woman's use of Swalwell as a professional reference in her recent
outreach to the Swalwell campaign about social media posts alleging his misconduct.
An attorney representing the woman, Gerald Singleton, responded to the
debate on Friday, writing that her statements are 100% factually accurate and she will not
lobby withdrawing them.
In recent weeks, political influencers own social media accounts of a light sexual misconduct
by Swalwell.
The online posts have not included any specific evidence, but gained enough attention that
Swalwell issued a public denial saying he had never behaved inappropriately toward nor
slept with female staffers during his seven terms in Congress.
�No, no, it�s false,� Swalwell told reporters after a town hall in Sacramento
on Tuesday evening, characterizing the post on social media�s political attack less
than a month before people begin voting in the primary election, in which the
top two candidates will advance to November's general election. California's primary structure
is the top two candidates go. And this was a real concern because the democratic field
is very crowded. Therefore, there wasn't really a clear cut, a clear cut person that was
like leading the pack. And there were real fears that the top two in the primary would
be Republicans, which Donald Trump came out, Donald Trump came out and actually boosted
one of the Republicans, which would aid in that not happening for the record, okay?
And one of the top contenders is, one of the top contenders is Tom Starr, who I've interviewed,
who I think is probably the most interesting candidate, right?
And the other top two from the Democratic side
was Swalwell and Katie Porter.
On Thursday, Swalwell canceled the previously scheduled event
in Palm Desert, local news outlet KESQ reported
that the event was canceled due to illness.
The Chronicle is not identifying the woman in the story
in compliance with this policy
against naming alleged victims a sexual assault.
Reporters looking into the broader allegations
against Swallow reached her
while contacting dozens of his former staffers.
The woman said she largely kept quiet
about Swallow's behavior for years
out of fear she would suffer
personal and professional consequences,
which again is a very consistent victim testimony.
Not just in this story,
but also in all of the other stories
that I've covered over many, many years.
Okay?
This is part of the reason why and also the cease and desist letters and also even in this
community, hella chatter is chiming in and being like, well, why does she go back and
be around him or whatever the fuck, right?
This is a big part of the reason why, this is a big part of the reason why women don't
come out, okay?
Yeah, he was asked about questions of inappropriate relationships with staffers as well and he
he responded to it last week. We'll all cover it in a second.
Um, he was the foundation of my career.
I had nothing to fall back on or anyone to vouch for my skills outside of my
colleagues in that office and Eric himself, she told the Chronicle,
I knew if I came forward, it would define me and undermine my credibility.
The woman began speaking with the Chronicle reporter last month.
Is she considered whether to make her allegation public when rumors
about Swalville's conduct began circulating online?
The woman said she was confused because she had only told a small circle
of family and close friends about what had happened to her.
She said she was petrified.
The swallow had told people about their encounters or that name or that her name had appeared
in an opposition research file compiled by a rival campaign.
She said she called the swallow campaign in late March to find out whether her name and
surface among rumored victims of staffer on campaign.
She asked, asked her to vouch for swallow.
She said the staffer asked her whether swallow had ever been inappropriate with her.
And then when she hesitated, the answer said, actually, I don't want to know
when the campaign staffer told her swallow was not afraid of the rumors because
he had not done anything inappropriate.
the woman said she felt determined to speak out.
He was so confident that I would stay silent
and that he wasn't scared, she said, of Swalwell.
I have no skin to the game
for who becomes governor in California,
but I feel people have a right to know
whether the person who leads the state
that is a safe haven for so many women
actually treats women with dignity
and will protect their rights, she said.
No one protected me from him.
And so I have to protect the other young women like me
who aspire to work in this field
and he could prey upon.
Okay. Recent polling shows, Swalwell neck and neck with former representative Katie Porter
and billionaire Tom Steyer and other top Democrats in the race and the two Republicans, Riverside
County Sheriff Chad Bianco and former Fox News host Steve Hilton. Swalwell is one endorser
and 24 other members of Congress, including Senators Adam Schiff, Ruben Gallego, 14 members
of the state legislature publicly support him, a host of powerful labor unions, including
SEIU California and the California Teachers Association have also backed his candidacy.
Swal was popularly comes in part from his prominent role in the impeachment investigations against
President Donald J. Trump.
He is a frequent harsh critic of Trump on broadcast news programs and has framed much
of his gubernatorial campaign around the idea that he will stand up to Trump and protect
California's policies against federal interference.
Anyway, the rest of the stuff is just about Swalwell, but oh yeah, the former staffer began
working for Swalwell during a short-lived presidential campaign in 2019 following a college
graduation.
She then was hired into his district office in Castro Valley that July after he dropped
out of the race.
She says Swalwell, who was 38 at the time, began messaging her staff chat, a popular
app among teens.
The messages were initially welcomed, the woman said, alone in a new community across
the country from where she grew up.
She said she felt encouraged by his friendly outreach and flattered that he was paying
attention to her.
When Swalwell flirted with her and started asking for pictures first of her face, then
her naked body and genitalia of the woman said she went along with it both intrigued
by him and worried about upsetting her new boss.
His advances progressed rapidly from there, the woman said.
Within a few weeks, as she drove Swalwell back to his hotel one night, from a donor
meeting at the battery of Provacola, San Francisco, he tried to kiss her.
When she resisted, noting he was married, the woman said he suggested their Snapchat
messages had been leading towards this.
When they messaged on Snapchat, Swawil sometimes sent photos of himself shirtless or of his
penis, the woman said.
She said he once sent her a video of himself sitting on an airplane rubbing his penis through
his pants.
A few weeks later, the woman was driving Swawil to an event in his district when she said he
took out his penis and asked her, would you help me out?
She said she began to perform oral sex on him in parking lot, but stopped because
it was in the middle of the day and she was afraid someone would see them.
On September 27, 2019, the woman says Swawil invited her and a group of friends to join
him, and an advisor at Haps, a steakhouse in downtown Pleasanton.
The woman had been drinking before the gathering, she said, and
Swalwell brought more alcohol for her when she arrived.
She said she became so inebriated that she does not remember how she left the
restaurant, only that she woke up the next morning in Stahl's hotel bed naked.
She also has a brief recollection of him sucking her toes, which she said
disgusted her.
The woman said she could feel the effect of vaginal intercourse, but
they did not discuss it.
and Swalwell Center off the work, which included staffing an event that morning in which she
went hiking with constituents while what was this is afterward, the woman said and treated
her more professionally, which made her feel dirty while we'll post a photos from the hike
on his official Facebook page later that day. Great weather, beautiful scenery and great
discussion. He wrote there appear to be two swallows. The woman said one on Snapchat
and the one in real life. She said she started to feel the same about herself as she
tried to compartmentalize what had happened between them. That made me question who
I was because the person that I was wouldn't harbor something so awful, she said. She says,
while we'll continue to pull away after her alleged assault, even as she reached, uh,
even as she reached out seeking his attention, she had believed he had romantic feelings for her,
but she said a Snapchat messages became less frequent. The woman continued to work for
Swalwell, moving to a new job in his office in Washington, DC. She said she felt conflicted,
wanting to stay close to Swalwell professionally while also scared of being exposed
and of people believing she had only advanced in her career by having an inappropriate relationship
with them. She left Swalwell's office in 2021 but continued to work in politics.
She says Swalwell occasionally stayed in touch with her including reaching out as she considered
other job opportunities. On April 25, 2024, the former staffer attended an award ceremony.
Anyway, this is like summarized in the beginning. No, no, it's the same victim.
It's just going into great detail.
For the record, Swalwell voted no on tabling a resolution from Nancy Mace to release all
congressional sexual harassment settlements publicly.
The vote was 357, 65 to kill it, so kind of a free vote.
Since this has come out, since this has come out, former staffer says Eric Swalwell,
a candidate for California sexually assaulted her from San Francisco Chronicle.
There have been numerous staffers.
Why are 356 other members protecting Swalwell?
No, that's not that.
Now, AOC also voted no against it.
The reason was because Nancy Mace's release was apparently not protecting the victims.
But many people are withdrawing their endorsements right now, piece by piece.
Ruben Gallego, I've read the San Francisco Chronicles reporting and I take it seriously.
What is described as indefensible.
who come forward with the counts like this deserve to be heard with respect not
questioned or dismissed. I regret having to come to his defense on social media
prior to knowing all the information. I'm equally shocked and upset about what
has transpired. I'm with dry-mind-or-cement of Congressman Swalwell
effective immediately.
Ian Calderon the allegations against Eric Swalwell are deeply disturbing and
and troubling for a majority leader of the California State Assembly.
Key is also not only withdrawn of support, but also is demanding that Eric Swalwell immediately suspend his campaign and resign from Congress.
California deserves leaders who uphold the highest standards of integrity, moral responsibility, and ethical conduct.
I don't understand how so many people automatically do this. Like it's unbelievable bro. There's already an un
imaginable power dynamic at play
But even with a consensual relationship with a fucking 20 year old staffer versus like, you know, a 34 year old 35 year old
Congressional representative like that's already that's already unbelievably fucked up
Okay, and then you're literally saying that the like a
A victim that's come forward, a victim that has come forward about being sexually assaulted
while inebriated and unable to consent is actually lying.
What is it with people?
Like, why can't this ever be, is there ever an instance where you will believe a woman
like, is there ever an instance?
No, probably not, right?
People rarely ever placed themselves
in the shoes of these victims in this circumstance,
especially men, they always,
men are very fearful of like false allegations
or given the dynamic and interpersonal relationships
with members of the opposite sex.
Men are fearful of having their advances
not be met with a positive reception
or potentially in that gray area,
there are a lot of men who are fearful
that what if in the aftermath of a,
what if I didn't read it correctly, right?
Like what if I didn't read the situation correctly
or what if I did something
that could be potentially considered inappropriate
later down the line?
They can never place themselves in the shoes of the victim.
They always have a consistent attitude
where they think they are going to be victims, okay?
They think they're gonna be victims of a false accusation.
Statistically speaking, obviously,
real sexual assault that doesn't get properly investigated
is far more likely than someone being a victim
false allegations. This doesn't mean false allegations don't exist, but they're very, very rare statistically.
And not only are they very rare statistically, okay, there are some markers that you can
point to. There are some, like there are certain things that you can look at when interpreting
whether or not a sexual assault allegation is credible or not, okay? Because once
Once again, believe women within the Me Too movement did not mean that women have an inability
to lie.
It didn't mean that you just reflexively, automatically consider every allegation to
be correct 100% of the time.
It's just that at the time, at the time, the automatic consideration always favored
the man and people reflexively disbelieved women.
That's what believe women means.
women means don't reflexively disbelieve women, okay? Having said that, having said that,
there are certainly some telltale markers here that are consistent with credible sexual
assault allegations regardless, like the victim going to friends in the immediate aftermath.
That doesn't even happen all the time and it doesn't mean that if it doesn't happen
in a case that that is easier to disparage the victim's testimony for the record, because
there's deep shame that is associated in situations like this.
But it absolutely lends even further credibility if a victim has gone to a third party, okay,
to talk to a third party about the conflicting feelings that they have, okay.
There are numerous reasons as to why a victim might keep to themselves and might hide this
as a secret.
Shame is obviously one of the major components here, religious shame, religious fears, societal
pressures due to deeply embedded patriarchal constructs.
The notion that women that are victimized in this circumstance will never be seen the
same ever again.
It will ruin their further ambitions in this field.
They'll be treated as a spoiler by all these other men
in powerful positions as well.
They'll never be hired again.
There's always a fear of legal retaliation as well.
There are a million different components at play
for why most victims never come out, OK?
But people who look at a story like this, and look at allegations like this, and automatically fucking side with the guy, without factoring in the credibility, without making a proper assessment on whether the allegations are credible or not, are fucking delusional.
is unfuckin believable.
And not only that, but one of the primary things that you can always look to is like
repeat offenders, okay?
And there were already allegations swirling around about Eric Swalwell before the story
came out.
There were already plenty of allegations that people were treating it like as a known secret
in this industry.
And on top, only 2% of rapists are ever convicted, yes.
And many of them also receive lighter sentences as well.
There's also obviously a racial component to this story as well, but yeah, Senate leadership,
a senior leadership doesn't quit on a single allegation.
If it was like swallows, predation was well known in California political circles and
leaders quit before the public finds out.
Yeah.
Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric's gubernatorial
campaign.
senior leadership of departed campaign including Courtney Pugh, a strategic advisor who served
as WALWEL's top liaison to organize labor groups. Pugh confirmed a resignation but declined
to comment further. Two other people who were branded anonymity discussed internal
campaign dynamics confirmed there have been at least four departures.
So, there's a campaign implosion that's taking place as well, which means that people with
maybe a little bit more insight into the allegations or a little bit more knowledge about potentially
other victims as well are going to start dropping left and right to preserve their own careers,
including top staffers.
That's pretty significant.
Today, I learned shocking information by Eric Swalwell containing the ugliest and most serious
accusations imaginable Gomez said in a statement, my mom in the campaign begins and ends with
trust I cannot a good conscience remain in any role with this campaign and I'm stepping
down from it effective immediately.
This was Rep Jimmy Gomez.
The fallout extended the prominent interest groups that have backed SWALWELL.
The California Medical Association, which has dropped more than a million dollars into a
pro SWALWELL committee, said it was convening an emergency board meeting in the California
Teachers Association suspended its endorsement.
Yeah, SWALWELL got a giant fuck you from his friend in Alibi.
After denying the woman's claims, the SWALWELL campaign connected a reporter to Rohit
Karn Batra, a friend of Swalwell's, who was with Swalwell on the evening of the gala.
Batra confirmed to the Chronicle that he attended the gala but said he did not speak much with
Swalwell during the event as the representative was busy speaking with others and presenting the
award. Batra said he recalls running into Swalwell in the hallway when the gala concluded
sometime around sunset, which would have been shortly before 8 p.m. that night,
and that the congressman invited him to get drinks afterwards. Batra said he agreed
and that they drove to a bar. He said he spent little time at the gathering talking to
to Swalwell, who was occupied talking with others.
Botcher said he left after about an hour and a half because he was tired and need to get
back to New Jersey where he was staying.
That would have been before 11.30 p.m. when the woman said she met up with Swalwell.
So even one of his like friends that could have potentially given him an alibi here, as
I said, yeah, I wasn't there, I don't know.
And yes, Eric Swalwell sent a cease and desist to the woman who came forward to share
stories of the sexual assault in the middle of the night for the record, you know.
And California Teacher Association with 300,000 members pulls a Swalwell endorsement,
be on the lookout for SEIU also pulling their endorsement, speaking of which SEIU also pulled
their endorsement from Wiener in the San Francisco congressional race after they found out that
that Wiener was against some of the bills that the SEIU was pushing for.
The SEIU in San Francisco had done a dual endorsement for Connie Chan and Wiener as well, and they
pulled the Scott Wiener endorsement.
But yeah, it's over.
It's done.
Eric Swalwell's campaign is done is most likely his political career is done as
well and good riddance is what I say he deserves far more than just losing his
political career.
Earlier this week senior political reporter for California Post asked
Swalwell. Directly. If he had ever had sexual relations with any staff or
interns, allegations have been rumored for months.
Never had a sexual relationship with any staff or intern. That's what we're saying.
Yes, that's false.
Do you have any response to share?
Yeah.
Yeah, the reporting includes contemporaneous text and treatment notes, among other corroborating
details. It's, this is like, this is, it's, it's very clear. It's like a totally cooked.
What is this? Josh Croucher, incapable of, of, you know, stopping himself from saying something
stupid, it seems. How in the world, in the biggest state in the largest democratic population in
the country of Dems, majors, Eric Swalwell, Katie Porter and Tom Steyer speaks a lot of
the state of our politics in the Dem Party circuit 2026. I hate to admit that he's not
wrong. By the way, he is right about that. I mean, he's a piece of shit, but his analysis
here is correct. Eric Swalwell, even before this, these heinous allegations of his heinous
misconduct was a garbage candidate. Ironically enough, a very pro Israel candidate. So
So it's surprising that Josh Croucher is shitting on him.
That's number one.
Number two, Katie Porter also has a litany of other personality related issues, okay?
And she was also a very weak candidate as well.
And Tom Steyer is an unknown entity and a fucking billionaire.
And right now we're kind of stuck with him, okay?
At least he's been more responsive to pressure, including but not limited to me asking
him about whether he would commit to calling what Israel did in Gaza a genocide or not.
But what about Ramsey?
Guys, Ramsey Robinson and Butch Ware are polling at 1%.
They are polling at 1%.
There is no world where these two candidates go from 1% to any significance at all.
So was Zoran.
Oh my God, oh my God, I'm going to lose my fucking mind.
Everybody always says so was Zoran.
Guys, I think some of you think I have a magic wand, okay?
doesn't have ranked-choice voting and Zora Mamdani was at least someone who had worked
in the New York Assembly and also had the backing of DSA and DSA's ground game is very different
and DSA is a much more powerful entity in a New York mayoral race than what would exist
for, uh, butchwear or Ramsey Robinson as far as their ground game. And not only that, but
also at this stage, this close to the actual fucking primaries without rank choice. Okay.
This close to the primaries. Zoran wasn't at 1%. As in who wants to run for office anymore
in a state that produce Ronald Reagan, Pat Brown, Jared Brown and even the governor.
This is the best California can do. Forget about ideology for a moment. Just look
you candidate quality. Swallows accuser sexual assault, Porter, accuser of abusing staff,
Steyer, quixotic press candidate, lefty cost funder.
Wow. Bro, this is literally like saying, you know, this guy's a rapist, that guy's
a murderer and this guy's fat. Like he did that meme, okay? But he literally, he did
that meme. So fuck, one of these things is not like the others. Now, why is Josh Krauscher
saying that about Steyer, by the way? Do you want to know why? Because Tom Steyer, out of
all the top contenders, is the most Israel skeptic candidate that has any viability, literally
the Republicans and the Democrats both.
Tom Steyer is the only one that is remotely critical of Israel, has complained about
APAC, all this stuff. And that's precisely the reason why Josh Krauscher chose to add
him on to the fucking pile as a bad guy for governor.
Yeah, Biggie was fat meme, exactly.
Jewish Insider reports,
what progressives are saying is non-radical.
In fact, Benjamin and Yann Lindsey Grammar
arguing the same thing.
Israel is capable of paying for its own military equipment,
including supplies for its missile defense systems.
A J Street spokesperson told Jewish Insider,
J Street, the progressive Israel advocacy organization
was described as a pro-Israel pro-peace group,
offered backing for the growing calls among far-left lawmakers
and end US support for Israel's missile defense system,
such as Iron Dome.
Yeah.
Who would you say is the best of the three?
Oh, Tom Steyer, the billionaire.
Yes.
Hassan Piker.
the socialist candidate, I mean the socialist content creator is saying that Tom Steyer,
the fucking billionaire is the best we got in this situation as far as candidates with
viability.
Candidate leaked, okay shut the fuck up.
on CNN right now? Wait, no shot. Actually, it's probably the journalist chatter. Probably not the
wait, someone linked me to CNN live stream. Wait, hold on, I found it.
Oh my god, it is.
Cutner, I felt more secure that I could have a strictly professional relationship with this person.
After that bar closed, we went to another.
I went to the bathroom and I don't remember anything after that.
You don't remember anything?
I remember the next day.
I can see flashes of that evening of him on top of me, me pushing him off,
him grabbing me.
Who's your warning?
It was a lot more aggressive.
It was aggressive.
Did you say no?
Yes, I said no. I said I in my flash that I can recall I was pushing him off of
me saying no. And what did he do? He didn't stop. He didn't stop. And you woke up the
next morning. I woke up the next morning naked alone in his hotel room. I for a
moment didn't even know I was in his hotel room. That's how intoxicated I
it was. And I called my mom, the only person I could think that could help me.
And we were able to corroborate that by speaking with friends and family she confided in, reviewing
photos and screenshots of contemporaneous text messages. And we also reviewed a message
from her medical provider the week after she received the pregnancy and STD tests,
calling her a quote survivor. Now the Swalwell campaign released a statement from congressman
in Swalwell saying quote, these allegations are false and come on the eve of an election against the front runner for governor for nearly 20 years.
I have served the public as a prosecutor and a congressman and have always protected women.
I will defend myself with the facts and where necessary bring legal action.
My focus in the coming days is to be with my wife and children and defend our decades of service against these lies.
It's remarkable reporting as you note there the congressman fiercely denies this and notes
that it's coming in close proximity to California primary.
Why are these women willing to speak now?
It's a fair question, John.
All the women we spoke with believed that they were alone in their interactions with
the congressmen.
And then after seeing Chatter from social media influencers they realized that they
were not alone and they felt more compelled to speak out.
In fact, two of the women have since received C's and desist letters from Swalwell's lawyer,
but those women stand by their statements to us, John.
And obviously this comes at a, does come at a big moment in the campaign.
What are you hearing about the campaign?
Yeah, well I can tell you that we have been in touch with them over the last few days.
We've reached out this afternoon with some very specific details of these allegations
and some specific questions.
The sources have told us that members of SWALWELL's team have left.
One staffer told CNN they left after receiving information about these allegations.
Our coats lie tonight at 11 on CNN and watch on the CNN app.
Hey, have you heard about this prediction market, Kalshee?
Yeah, let's you trade on anything from sports to culture.
What about UFO sightings?
Yeah, that too.
Why?
Oh God, Calciad? Gross. Gross. Apologies to the chatters who had the encounter of Calciad
on the Hassanavi broadcast unintentionally. The CNN reporting says four women by the way.
So there's a four total for now. More will probably come forward in the process. Exclusive
from CNN for women to scrap sexual misconduct by representative Eric Swalwell including a former staffer who says he raped her
Yeah
Like I told you it's uh usually these guys are fucking repeat offenders
A working camp imposter Eric Swalwell has literally slid into DMs of girls
I personally know his wife used to not let him have a DC apartment. He's disgusting. Yeah
It's good to see them being revealed. Do you have any predictions in this aftermath? Yeah,
I think this will boost, I mean, it's, it feels kind of dirty and gross to talk about
like his, you know, talk about the gubernatorial race so close to like this coverage. But I mean,
he's done, it's over. He deserves far worse than what he is going to receive, which
which will be his career is forever tarnished.
He is done with politics, I suspect, and good riddance.
Also outside of that, his gubernatorial run is absolutely fucking over.
He deserves prison time.
Let's be real.
what he actually deserves. However, that's probably not going to happen. And this will
give a somewhat of a boost to Katie Porter, I assume. And Tom Steyer most likely will become
the next governor of California, which isn't, you know, again, out of all the top contenders,
Tom Steyer is the only like independent
and the most interesting one,
which is precisely the reason why I interviewed him.
Katie Porter has her own stories
that I also personally know of
and stories that have been unearthed already
about abuse against staffers.
Not sexual abuse for the record.
Did he talk about Claire's FP page at all?
What is this?
It probably also means the Republicans are fucked because he was helping split the vote
enough that they were competitive to get through.
Yeah.
Who's Claire's FP page?
Foreign policy page?
Which Claire?
Claire Valdez?
what happened?
Yeah, she's like pretty goaded, no?
Yeah, she's fucking awesome.
Am I crazy?
Yeah, she's like pro-lifting St. John Cuba, she's incredible.
I mean, I knew this already from my conversations with her and also from what I've seen her
say in the buildup to her revelation. Yeah, no, it's a, it's incredible.
Um, anyway, as far as Honolulu, Imaea goes. So I have a, I have a different opinion about
what Jay street is doing here. Okay. What is this? Jay insider. I yield spoke,
was told me. Parkers usually include Justifying October 7. Okay, whatever. Yeah, yeah, they're
trying to, they're, at Clairville, this is goaded and she's going to win. And that's another,
you know, that's another one of the candidates that we've propped up. And I'm happy to
have worked alongside that or helped a little bit to the best of my ability.
As far as Anah Lillia Mejia goes, Jay Street has come out in support of Anah Lillia Mejia
and also Jay Street is now repositioning.
Updated in a statement, Jay Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami says Mejia is committed to
the people of Israel in the future grounded in peace, being pro-Israel doesn't mean
blindly supporting the Niau nor does it mean being anti-Palestinian. Annalia Mea stands firmly against
anti-Semites in all forms of hate. We look forward to working with her to support Jewish communities
in both Israel and the United States. A couple things about Annalia Mea is a race, a very Jewish
district. And not only that but also not only that but also I mean that's literally Noah's
hometown. Okay. And obviously, yeah. Um, I don't think this is a sellout moment at all.
I don't think this is a sellout moment at all. Um, I will explain. I mean, only time
will tell for the record, but he's also from New Jersey. Yes.
I don't think Jay Street is is anti genocide.
But I think what they're trying to do is become like from my estimation Jay Street is is absolutely
still a Zionist organization, a liberal Zionist one, but I have time and time again explained
to you that it is probably one of the least offensive, and it was somewhat shocking how
aggressive they were in the aftermath of October 7, where they revealed their true hand.
For many years, I've talked about J Street being nowhere near as bad as APAC.
This changed after October 7.
The reason why I didn't think that it was as bad is because I know many people who are
former Jashu staffers, who have worked at Jashu, including Noah Colwin.
And ironically enough, the contradictions given that Jashu is anti-apartheid, and has been
like, they are actually anti-apartheid, they're liberal Zionists.
But given that they're anti-apartheid, the contradictions are impossible for most
Jews to reckon with. Usually, this is again my assessment pre-October 7, and therefore
Jay Street is a reliable way to make former Jay Street staffers into anti-Zionists. Many
of the anti-Zionist Jews come from that Jay Street background. Jay Street is also responsible
for Jamal Bowman, for example, being a committed anti-Zionist because they used to
do West Bank trips all the time. And when you bring Congresspersons to the West Bank
and show them the full scope of the violence of that apartheid, given their anti-apartheid
position, Congresspersons change permanently. They change their positions permanently and
end up becoming anti-Israel rather than just pro-J Street and anti-apartheid.
This is why I have always tactically maintained the position that at least J Street is unironically
and design is even if it's not its intention.
Okay.
Except for Richie Torres.
Yeah, Richard Torres saw that shit and was like, damn, this is awesome.
I can't wait to get more money from these guys and defend this country as aggressively
as I can with all my might.
Now this is, once again, this is my calculation before October 7.
The reason why I have a different calculation or a different statement on J Street now is
because in the aftermath of October 7, okay, in the aftermath of October 7, J Street came
out and straight up pulled all of their candidates to shut the fuck up about a ceasefire.
Okay?
They literally came out in the most heavy-handed way that I had ever seen that organization
approach the subject.
So what they're trying to do is absolutely sinister in my estimation, where they recognize
that Israel's approval ratings are in the shitter, and I think they're re-triangulating, okay?
I think they are re-triangulating to find a much more manageable approach to defending
Israel's foreign policy, because at the end of the day, J Street is still a fucking pro-Israel
organization. It's no different than, um, Congress persons who have never talked about
Israel coming out and being like, oh, we, we hate APAC now. Or Congress persons that have
gotten money from APAC, turning around and saying, oh, I hate APAC now.
The reason why I say it depends on what Annalya does next, and also there's no alternative
to Annalya in this race for the record.
So that's just also something to pay attention to.
But the reason why I say it's entirely in the hands of what Annalya says or does next,
If she, for example, stops calling what Israel's doing in genocide or something like that,
that means that she's totally fucking compromised.
If she stays on her previous positions and consistently talks about whatever she wants
and says whatever she wants to say about Israel,
then it's a different calculation.
Okay.
But I know a lot of people are,
I understand why a lot of people are skeptical about this,
including New Jersey DSA that said,
Jashri is a liberal wing of genocide,
Annalia Mayer should drop their endorsement.
Yeah. They put the Israeli flag on stage during their events,
and the mission statement in the bio says,
the political home for pro-Israel Americans,
Jashri to be sure is nowhere near as corrosive or anti-democratic as APAC,
But it's a special interest group donating to politicians that structure by nature can never be pro-democracy and unfortunately pro-priest and pro-Israel is oxymoronic. I agree.
I agree.
It's not a great sign at all.
Like J Street endorsing a candidate is one thing.
But candidates receiving that endorsement and talking about it is entirely different.
Anyway, on that front, let's get back to Mersheimer on breaking points, talking about Trump's
only option.
This morning by Professor John Mersheimer of the University of Chicago.
Great to see you again, sir.
Glad to be here.
So just off the top, what is your expectations for what might come out of these diplomatic
meanings in Islamabad this weekend?
Well, I mean, it's important to realize that all we're trying to do at this point is get
the ceasefire in place.
And once that happens, then we'll have the serious negotiations.
And the mere fact that we're having so much trouble getting the ceasefire in place
makes one wonder where the negotiations
are going to lead
even if they're going to get started
it seems clear to me
that the iranians will not engage in serious negotiations
regarding the ceasefire
they may
talk
but they're not going to engage in serious negotiations
regarding the ceasefire
until Iran, excuse me, until Israel stops striking at Hezbollah. It's just that simple.
And Israel has, or at least it thinks it has, a vested interest in continuing to target Hezbollah
all for the purposes of undermining the ceasefire and in turn undermining negotiations.
So I think the $64,000 question is whether the United States, which is desperate to end this war,
will be so desperate that it will be willing to lean on Netanyahu in a really big way and get
him to stop attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon. But until that happens, this is going nowhere.
Now, if the opposite happens, and Netanyahu insists on continuing to attack Hezbollah,
and it brings the United States back into war, what are the consequences of that for
the U.S.-Israel relationship?
And as somebody who's studied the Israel lobby longer than by most of us have even
been alive, what would a breakup between the American people, the American public,
the idea of supporting Israel due to the U.S.-Israel relationship. What is that? Does that matter
at all? Sure. I mean, huge damage has already been done because it's very clear. In fact,
it becomes clearer by the day that the Israelis... $64,000 question first aired in 1955. So
one of the chances is $64,000 question now $250,000 due to inflation.
God, Mershimer is so awesome.
Bamboozled us into this war, uh, that they led Trump, uh,
to decide to attack on February 28th. Uh,
and it's clearly a failed war. I mean,
this was a catastrophic blunder on our part and the Israelis are
responsible for that.
So what Trump is now trying to do is shut the war down and what are the Israelis doing?
The Israelis are doing everything they can to prevent us from shutting the war down and to make it go on
This is going to do further damage to Israel's reputation in the United States
and the problem that the Israelis face is that we have this
alternative media sphere now and of course your show is a perfect example of
that where people talk about what is no merge big merge your glazing alternative
media come on the show big papa merge
The people demand it. The people need it, okay? How do I not have any of his fucking students
in this broadcast? Like how? How is that possible? I know that there's some of you that are former
students of his, because one of you said, you graded my paper a C, but I still love
you you're my anti-zionist goat.
Someone reach out to his like teaching assistant or something dude what the fuck is this?
Be like Hasan Hassanabi Piker has been begging to have big papa merch on.
Cause it's true I have been.
I love suggesting things to this chat that are very clear, very directional in order to
accomplish certain goals.
And then chat will always come up with the absolute worst solutions to that problem.
Someone unironically turned around and said just enroll in his class, dude.
Yeah, let me just enroll in his class.
like find his landline phone and dial him up. Everyone's a comic in here. Everyone's a fucking
jokester, dude. Everyone's a goddamn comedian, too. And what the US-Israeli relationship has
resulted in and so forth and so on in ways that do enormous damage to Israel and the
U.S.-Israeli relationship because people get to see the basic facts.
That didn't used to be the case before we had this alternative media sphere.
So this is doing enormous damage to Israel's reputation in the United States.
It's making the lobby's job in the United States much more difficult than it ever was.
That's why they're coming after my ass.
Steve and I wrote the original article on the lobby in 2006 and then we wrote the book in 2007.
I don't think either one of us ever imagined that we would be at the point we are now at today.
The lobby has been so badly wounded. The U.S.-Israeli relationship is really in tatters,
at least in the public mind. And I think moving forward, the situation only gets worse
because Israel will behave in crazier and crazier ways and more and more Americans will realize that
and they'll be well aware of what this escapade in Iran has led to.
I'm curious what you make of the landscape of leverage going into these talks that
the U.S. administration has. Trump obviously claiming that Iran has been completely
decimated, defeated, they have no military, etc. Iran in the meantime still retains the capacity
to strike at Israel, US assets in the region controlling the Strait of Hormuz. Who do you
think has more leverage going into this? Where do you see these talks potentially going in terms of
any sort of framework for a possible deal? That is an enormously important question that
you just asked. And my view has long been that Iran has a vested interest in prolonging the war,
or to put it in different terms, prolonging the closing of the strait.
The fact is that what is happening here is that the situation in the international economy is
getting worse and worse by the day. And as almost everybody knows, if you project out
two or three months where the strait remains closed, the damage to the world economy will
be enormous. This means that the longer the strait is closed, the more leverage the
Iranians have over Donald Trump. Trump, on the other hand, has a profound interest in
ending this war as quickly as possible to make sure that the damage is limited.
And just to go back to what happened on Monday with Trump's two tweets, the one in the morning
where he threatened to wipe Iran off the face of the earth and make it so that Iran
could never come back from the dead. I mean, this is a genocidal threat of the first order.
as almost everybody knows the idea that an American president was making a threat
of that sort
would have been unthinkable before
the morning of April 6. But anyway,
that shows his desperation. Then what happens
is at the end of the day, at the end of the working day,
he issues another tweet and he says
that we're gonna not attack and
we're going to start negotiations and there's going to be a ceasefire
and what's truly remarkable about the second tweet that night
is he says
that we accept
the iranians
ten point plan you remember there are two
plans on the table
one is the american plan which is the fifteen point plan
and that has all the maximalist
demands of the united states in israel
And then there's the 10 point plan, which is the Iranian plan, which has their demands,
which are maximalist Iranian demands.
And he says that it is the 10 point plan.
He says in the tweet that evening is a workable basis for negotiation, not the 15 point plan,
the 10 point plan.
This is remarkable.
And then he says furthermore in the tweet that almost all of the points of contention
between the two sides have been worked out.
Guys, stop giving me the most obvious suggestions of all time.
I love you, but please, Pakistani mango, why don't you use Ryan Grimm as an intermediary
to get goat shimmer?
Like you think?
I haven't thought of that.
I already got his contact information
from one of these panelists, okay?
But you think I had not,
I have his contact information.
I told you, we've been contacting him.
What do you think?
Like sometimes your suggestions,
sometimes your suggestions, it might make sense,
but it's so obvious that like, obviously I've tried it.
You know?
If you think about what he said that morning,
that's desperation.
And then if you think about what he said that evening,
The concessions that he's willing to make are really quite remarkable.
And what's going on here is that behind closed doors, they're in deep panic mode.
They understand full well that the international economy might go off a cliff if they don't
shut this one down immediately and then begin to repair the damage and do everything possible
to return to something approximating the status quo ante.
They understand this.
So we're desperate.
And of course, if you flip back to the other side, the Iranians, this all tells you the
Iranians are in the driver's seat, and they have a vested interest in prolonging this.
So if I were playing Iran's hand, I might sit down today in Islamabad, but I would say,
listen, folks, we're not getting the ceasefire until Israel stops pounding Hezbollah.
it's up to you, the United States, to decide whether or not you want to take the international economy
off a cliff or whether you want to appease Prime Minister Netanyahu. It's your choice.
Or whether you want to do ground troops, because that's really the only other option. That's what
I was going to ask Professor, is Donald Trump now talking about the nuclear dust as he calls it,
the hundreds of pounds of enriched uranium and the Iranians have, as we were just discussing,
leveraged in the form of the Strait of Hormuz. So for Israel, as they pressure Trump over the
negotiations, Iranians are reportedly considering whether to even show up as the Lebanon bombing
continues. But let's say that happens. They do show up. What on earth would an off-ramp
for Trump look like, that also would involve getting Netanyahu on board with it, that doesn't involve
either going back to war with ground troops or Iran operating a toll system in the Strait of Hormuz
and dealing with the enriched uranium, quote, nuclear dust that he's talking about. I mean,
it just, I can't conceive of what that might look like. And I think this is what you're
speaking to, but if they try to push on the hundreds of pounds of enriched uranium, what leverage
exists possibly for them to barter? Well, first of all, they have no leverage. We have no leverage.
You raise the possibility of ground troops. We have 7,000 combat troops in the region. There's
There's all this talk about 50,000 troops in the region.
Almost all of those troops are not combat troops
and you can't go to war on the ground
against Iran with anything but combat troops.
You've got 7,000 combat troops,
5,000 of them are on giant ships
that can't get close to the coast of Iran.
How are you gonna offload those troops?
And the 2,000 paratroopers in the 82nd Airborne
up against a million man army.
This is not a serious option. There is no ground option. I mean you want to think about where we are
militarily in this situation. First of all, we have 13 bases, 13 major bases in the region.
According to the New York Times, all 13 of those bases are either destroyed or badly damaged.
We have a huge naval armada in the region. That naval armada cannot get close to the coast of
Iran much less the strait of Hormuz. So it's parked way out in the ocean far away from Iran.
Then there's the Air Force.
In this rescue mission that just took place where they got the
second pilot,
Uh, we've lost more aircraft that day than we have lost in any single day since the Vietnam
War.
Wow.
This was just to rescue one down the pilot.
We lost more aircraft that one day than we have lost any day since the Vietnam War.
Then
God, people who say it's a uranium heist or a failed uranium heist, I understand
that there are inconsistencies with what definitely happened that day, but what you guys are,
you guys literally look at two C 130s and you're like, Oh, that's too much. That's not too much.
That's not, that's not enough for uranium heist. First of all, and it's not too much
for a rescue mission.
I will say, however, that I trust the official narrative them bought.
No, I'm not saying I'm trusting the official narrative.
I'm just saying that the the uranium heist logic doesn't make sense because the amount
of things that you need for it to be a uranium heist were not there.
I do, however, believe that that mission made it all but a guarantee that the uranium high
shit is not going to happen.
If they can't even do, if they lose two C-130s and like six mini helicopters, like six helicopters,
uh, was it MH-6s, uh, six little birds, two rescue Blackhawks, one AC-1, uh, one AC-10,
two modded C-130s, and F-15, it's just not happening.
That was not even a hardened target. It wasn't even a known target. It was near the, it was, it wasn't the Isfahan facility, but it was in the Isfahan region.
But the AISVAH facility is also a known target, a high priority target.
It's why lie Tom Cruise said it was easy, no, true.
You said about the same guy who ordered this would have been the same guy who ordered an
and tagging around the Triggin overnight nationwide revolt
that never came.
True, Trump is very stupid and also is increasingly
invested in making riskier and riskier bets.
And we do have a client command structure
here that will abide by the president's demands,
no matter how stupid they might seem.
But I think this showed that it is virtually impossible to do a larger campaign, even to
someone as dumb as Trump.
It's the whole business of our missile inventory.
We're running out of defensive missiles, we're running out of high-end munitions.
have interests all around the world, especially in East Asia. And we're using up this rather
small inventory of boutique weapons that we have. Where does that leave us? And then there's
the community place landing strip and abandoned field on the other side of the mountain adjacent
to the nuclear facility. Either the IRGC is incompetent enough to have left it or
it was there as a trap. The aircraft were oriented in a way that indicates a gunfight
and were riddled with small arms. Yes. Also, no, the convenient place landing strip
It's not a landing strip, it's an agricultural field that they turned into a landing strip.
This is like a normal part of military operations behind enemy lines for the American military.
It's a far, they make it.
They look for areas, agricultural fields, things like that on the map to turn it
into a place where C-130s could land and refuel the helicopters, proves it wasn't a rescue.
Okay, but yeah, I think the American government is lying about the operations,
planes, lying about whether they got resistance or not. I think they did. The planes were landed
when they got shot at, and then they lied about whether or not the planes got shot at and that
they had to blow them up, blow the planes up themselves. They could have blown, they
could have used demolitions on the planes. Rick Scott calls on Trump to cut
Yale funding over his Sompiker event. Bro, I feel like Donald Trump's got more
important things going on in his life. You know what I mean?
Electronic Intifada did a good job covering all the available evidence and
agrees more with you and they are also skeptical of the uranium-heist theory
for now. The only reason why I'm skeptical of the uranium heist theory is because I think they out
of desperation blew a a FARP opportunity they could have utilized for the Isfahan facility
because they were desperate to go and and take this guy out, desperate to go and extract this guy.
So here's the thing. They did not have enough tools. They did not have enough tools. They did not have the proper gear to conduct the uranium extraction mission.
mission. Okay. They did not. Two C 130s are not enough. Two C 130s are a large enough force,
maybe a little bit too large of a force to rescue one pilot. But you do that in an effort
to make sure that this is mission success. But two C 130s are not enough. Two C 130s
is simply not enough to do a ISPOM facility resource extraction mission because they don't
have the gear. They didn't have the equipment. And the other reason why you never fucking
let us fucking entertain a single fucking conspiracy and it's so fucking aggravating
of FU. Okay. They needed excavators. They needed the drop in excavators. They didn't
have any excavators. It's just not gonna like there's no way to get into the Isfahan facility
without having excavators. That mission is already virtually impossible to begin with. It's such a
dumb argument. Rick Scott is, what is this? This is why I spoke at Yale University Union last year
on why we need to buy made in America products. Now they're hosting a guy who said I should be
killed. Yale sees billions of federal government, President Trump and Congress need to immediately
Revoked and elite private university one of the funniest things about this Rick Scott saga is that I
Didn't get a visit from secret service
After those comments were highlighted by Libs of tick-tock and I got banned and the reason why I didn't get a visit from secret service
Is because it was so clear that I wasn't saying I wasn't calling for the assassination of Rick Scott
Okay, it's just not how language works
It's so fucking stupid. It's like clearly not a direct threat you idiot. Oh my god. He's still crying about it too. Jesus Christ.
Like I didn't threaten Rick Scott. I didn't say somebody should do it to Rick Scott or anything like that. It wasn't a direct or even indirect threat.
It's just an intentional misunderstanding of my use of the language. Oh my god.
Yes, it was a hypothetical if then statement that was about what the Republicans would do
if they were sincere.
It was obviously exaggerated, but they've never, I mean, he has never stopped crying
about it.
Jesus Christ, dude.
Holy shit.
Stop fucking crying, Rick.
Goddamn.
It's pathetic.
Ah.
I see language barrier misunderstanding.
I mean, it wasn't even like a language barrier situation at all and it wasn't even about
Republicans.
I was talking to Mike Johnson specifically.
These guys are becoming your publicists. Yeah, I know.
Yeah, political union host is on part of a debate ending the American Empire.
The story debate society at Yale University's previously hosted former president's intellectuals a featured guest.
How much do the smear campaigns change your perception of how you communicate to the masses?
It doesn't because I try to be as careful as I possibly can with the way that I talk
and it gets annoying for a lot of people who are tuning in anyway.
That's why I constantly find myself over explaining my position.
Okay.
I asked Senator Rick Scott why the multimillion dollar GOP Senate leadership press shop
is completely ignoring the violent assassination threats against him.
top campaign server radical Democrat, I'll say it, aka comedy's most of Schumer,
Sompiker, literally like these guys are all such gross villains. What is this?
A CEO works cop profit from the largest Medicare fraud in American history, 1.7 billion. Yeah.
It's, they have, they have no motion. It's just fucking annoying that they're
constantly crying and I have to see it. You know what I mean?
All right. I'll post that. It's just it also doesn't have the impact that they want it to have.
Bro, ain't no way you get to see your server this so often that now it's data for you to know about
about how controversial your statements are, not normal.
No, all I'm saying is if that was an actual clear cut
transparent assassination demand,
I absolutely would have gotten a fucking visit
from secret service.
It's not, and that's why it didn't happen.
It's just so stupid.
I said stop crying you ugly lizard
it won't be see your service it'll be FBI Capitol Police yeah whatever Secret Service FBI Capitol
police, you already know. What is this such a good announcement that you can't
be against you? For the uninitiated, Hassan Piker is a very specific form of
content creator. Early on he wedged himself into the one niche he knew he
could adequately fell. The dude bros leftist, streaming on Twitch for a
reliable six to seven days a week around about the same time and usually
monitoring whatever situation is abound in Trump's world order, giving
shrewd commentary from his perspective. In doing this he is genuinely and
repeatedly contributed to a leftward shift in young men and young people around the world.
I'm afraid this isn't up for debate. He is also different from a lot of his peers,
especially his right-wing peers, as he is actually a political science and communications
graduate. This is what he studied. This is his expertise. And though I find his methods clumsy
sometimes the side effect of six to eight hour streaming days, his actual graduate level
expertise and the intervening years of experience have made him well equipped to
to be what many are trying to shoehorn him into,
the Joe Rogan of the left.
I'd equate him more to a Tucker Carlson,
educated and on a mission, but that's just me.
Because of this efficacy, many left-wing candidates
running for election in the USA have teamed up with Piker,
sparred with him, communed with him,
marched with him, and just generally been around him.
This is terrifying for many, both in the mainstream media
and in the halls of power, because Piker,
who identifies as being on the left,
on paper is very much a socialist,
not a democratic socialist,
like a real socialist.
People can debate the label however they want.
He is not friendly to the capitalist aims
of the Democratic Party, let's put it that way.
This doesn't deter Piker from picking
the most efficient route for the alleviation of suffering now.
He very much campaigns with DSA candidates
and looks for any ways he can support anyone
to beat any form of Republican policy or person.
However, if Piker is allowed to grow
an influence on the left,
that spells the end of multiple groups of people.
The Democratic consultant class,
the Democratic Party as a whole potentially,
and traditional journalism and journalistic access avenues
alongside.
The collaboration between the media and the political class
to decide what information is heard
and how it is interpreted would be further ripped and damaged.
So what about the event horizon?
The old Islamophobia shorthand stopped working sometime
in the past two years.
And I can't pinpoint when.
Old media did not get the memo.
They're still trying to bet on most people
seeing an ethnic looking guy and getting scared.
They mispronounce his name and seem
not to make false salient points of criticism,
instead they bring up fuzzy buzzwords out of context
like 9-11 and Hamas, unexamined,
and kind of hope your Islamophobia
connects the dots from there.
The problem is, and don't hate me for this,
Hassan Piker is hot.
Since the days of Woke Bay,
Piker has used the fact that he's abnormally attractive
for political gain,
deathly using the attention to re-divert back
to his political aims on the left.
This completely bricks old media,
who were kind of hoping your hatred
would override your sense that pretty people are inherently always righteous.
This is the same event horizon re-witnessed being crossed with Zoran Mamdani last year.
People just aren't scared of Islam, Muslims or Arabs generally the way they used to be.
Whether it's the glitzy golf PR campaigns or the number of swaner actors and major
leading roles in Hollywood or just social media exposing everyone to everyone else,
the trick doesn't work anymore.
The smears of Pyke's platform utilized normie fears to pull pseudo-rage-baity heated streamer
moments into the professional realm in an attempt, much like the adpocalypse, to try
and end independent media altogether.
Trying to make an edge case out of Pyke, especially when he's both hot and popular,
is not going to work.
And it seems like the attempts are going down so badly that they're actually promoting
Pyke to a whole new realm of people.
Ironically, the only old media guy who seems to understand this is aforementioned Taka
Carlson, who now seems to want to defend Islam cynically on the basis of shared faith in
God and has gone completely independent with his own platform.
I suggest anyone wanting a career in journalism past 2030 put the blatant and unexamined Islamophobia
down and start a show on YouTube.
Coming to you barefaced, so be nice.
So the uninitiated, Hassan Piker is a very specific form of-
Stop being high, you hembo.
Uh, I, I am trying.
This is the clip where Rick Scott is on the verge of tears because of you.
I said this today, Hassan Piker, fresh off of his campaign,
stopped with Abdul al-Said, tweeted at Randy Fine and said that he's going to be deported to Israel.
dual citizen. In fact, the congressman came on my program a few months ago and
addressed these rumors that he had dual citizenship with Israel senator. And he
actually announced on my program that he was creating legislation to make it
illegal for members of Congress to hold.
Bro, it's so funny that like Laura Loomer is
for some weird reason now like a pivotal
person in the administration again. Like she kind of fell out of favor for a little bit,
but because Trump is like eating Benjamin and Yau's dick right now, all of the agents of Israel are now back.
It's crazy. The beard is not helping with the two hot allegations to be honest.
I don't understand. Are you saying that the beard is not hot or is the beard
uh, helping me look hotter citizenship. So it's just blatant you hatred. We were told,
bro, if you're ugly, you'd just be the left. Tim pool, own your attractive privilege. I mean,
dude, I don't think that's appropriate. Like sure. Would I, would I have the same,
uh, would I have the capacity to, to reach as many people? Probably not. But like my analysis
is very different than Tim Poole for his side, you know. It's kind of frustrating that you're
comparing me to a guy who has a, who dropped out of fourth grade, like Jesus Christ, dude.
I get it. Yes. Uh, yeah, I'm, I'm attractive. Sure. But how the fuck do you mean that this
is all about criticizing policies of Israel? That's what they said when Ilhan Omar Rashida
Tlaib, Keith Ellison, Mondami and his wife got caught picking these ridiculous anti-Jewish
comments. We were told that it was criticism of Israel and that they didn't want our
taxpayer dollars going to blow people up. I'm not talking about the fact that these people
are terrorists.
Oh, and they want to kill us.
They want to kill us, and they're openly saying that they want to kill us. Why is it that you
think the Senate leadership, and I'm saying this on both sides of the aisle, I haven't
even heard John Doon say anything about this, why is it that none of the Senate
leaders, whether it be John Doon or Chuck Schumer, are coming to your defense? Why
is it that they're having an issue of statement?
God, I can actually see Chuck Schumer coming to Rick Scott's defense because he
Probably is not exactly fond of me. It's disappointing. Dude. Is he crying?
Is he? Someone said never, never more leashed.
It's just disappointing. I mean, I don't get it. Like if I knew that one of my synagogues, some
Republican said they wanted to be killed. I'd say something right away because
it's wrong, right? So I think everybody gets themselves in a
position, if you're elected, you position leadership, you need to be vocal. You
need to say what's wrong. This is wrong. The guy with the cause for this, he
streamed every single day, 10 hours a day while working at TYT, as honest, and
worries about because these hot tiktok zoomers are just incapable of not
objectifying everything they consume. I mean, no, my looks obviously play a
role in this. This is a part of the package. Like, come on. But yes, I, you know, I've also
put a lot of fucking work into it outside of that.
Well, and by the way, Hiker and these Michigan Democrats were also caught on camera bragging
because they never condemned 9 October 7th when Hamas murdered what, 1200 Jews? I think
what, 53 Americans?
Wait what bragging that's no that was what Laura Loomer said we were saying that was not in caught on camera
No, it was my stream and we were talking about
Taking a pro-Palestinian position
Yeah caught on camera. It's a lot of your god. These guys are so stupid, bro
You almost at 9-11. Yeah
That's God. I do think it's really funny that he's crying on the Laura Loomer show.
So I mean this is these people are insane. They're discussing. They should never ever
be in office. And if you don't want to call out people that want to want to kill one of your
colleagues, I think that's really disappointing. The gent to ask earlier whether you changed
your communication style based on recent coverage doesn't seem to realize that you've obviously
been crafting a very deliberate style for years now. Yeah. I mean, the thing is all of the
highlight moments, all the highlighted moments that people fucking get me on is when I'm
unbelievably weak. Okay. I'm angry. I'm passionate. It's an issue that I care about. Someone
comes in and says something totally idiotic from a reactionary position. Um, the secret
is obviously always utilizing standpoint epistemology to defend some kind of fascist politics.
That makes me lose my fucking mind. It truly makes me lose my mind. It gets so upset. And
then I have a heated moment. A lot of people also think like, oh, you get easily baited.
You get easily triggered. It's like, dude, I'm talking for eight hours every day.
You know what I mean? Like, do you know how many times I've probably answered that
exact question at that point. A million.
They also don't understand you've streamed over 21,000 hours on Twitch, they can find
one or two clips where you sound anti-Semitic. Exactly.
21,000 hours. I have live streamed on this fucking website.
In over 21,000 hours, you can find me saying anything, like you can literally clip anything,
especially clipped directly at a context.
Like the most insincere one obviously being the, it doesn't matter if rapes happen clip,
like that one is the most insincere and perhaps most commonly utilized, right?
It's just so silly.
And we're not even counting freaks who are willing to splice up your words too.
Yeah, they do that.
No, we want more emotional regulation.
I just don't think that there is anyone who could emotionally regulate themselves evenly
over the course of 21,000 hours.
It's my whole life.
That's part of the reason why whenever people are like, well, why don't you, why don't you
careful with the words?
It's like, it's, it's impossible.
You know, 21,000 full hours.
It's impossible.
You just, you're, you're basically demanding I change the format entirely, right?
That's it.
Sounds like you should take more time off.
sure, but even then, this format requires constant communication, constant interaction.
I think it's an unbelievable feat that I have not been, you know, that I haven't been in
far more weak moments or a pop-off.
So that's it.
Also, this is a totally separate media environment, like it's a totally new media environment.
That's what a lot of people don't understand, like most people don't have any appetite for
this, where they just, they're like, oh, here we go, what am I supposed to do, get mad
at a fucking streamer?
The president is literally saying he's going to do a genocide, while also sometimes he
blowing up, you know, Iranian civilian facilities.
It's so stupid to try to make it seem like it's so stupid to get tuned up by Republicans
at a time when the president that they defend unconditionally is saying those things, right?
Like, I'm sorry, I think you're a fucking moron if you let yourself get tuned up by fucking
Republicans into making wide condemnations about a fucking Twitch
streamer on the left. Okay, you're either the biggest dupe of all time, the
biggest moron of all time, or you're cynically engaging in it because you
don't like that there is this growth of demands for a left-ranked candidate,
It demands for a candidate that you consider to have radical politics, but most people
consider to have moderate politics.
And that's what it is.
Yes, the guy on the phone is the single most prolific Medicare fraud committer.
Yes, Rick Scott.
So this guy cries when you're mean to him.
Yeah, exactly stop packing your star packing your bags my mood you're going home says Randy fine
It's uh, I mean he's gross is a gross monstrous piece of shit
And ironically
All my enemies are monsters dude straight up. I mean all of my fucking enemies all my ops are shred up monsters
Whether it be the nation state of Israel or whether it be all of its fucking most loyal servants
They're they're horrible monsters
Anyway, there was a more to it that I wanted to address here. Oh, yeah, I said you're going to your go at word send your
ass back to Israel to Randy fun. Okay, buddy, you're getting deported to Israel. I said Randy fun. And then he started crying. I was born in the
United States. My parents were born in the United States to my parents. Grandparents were born in the United States more than 100
years ago. Neither of the two were born in Israel. I've never even visited Israel until
I was in my 30s. The Sampakar is the child of two Turkish Muslims engaged in birth tourism
so you can become American. The Sampakar is an American. They're not living. If you
care about Medicare for all, use campaign alongside. This is the Democrat Party today.
And the Sampiker is a jihadist.
He was in his 30s.
How come all these 30 year old men keep getting groomed by Israel?
I don't know.
But again, it doesn't matter.
He even added CNN, exactly.
is the country that represents everything that I love. You care about medical fraud, you would
kill Rick Scott. This is the country that defeated the USSR. Unfortunately, Hamas, the
thousand times better kill the motherfuckers. Let the, let the streets soak in the red Cabell
squad in a video game. Uh, Americans are not 11. Do not, I do not support the United States of
America. Overall, my favorite flag is his bull. Okay. Okay. Okay. Here is the fucking Artemis
astronauts are are coming back into orbit in like four minutes okay sure we'll watch it.
Based on unofficial data from the Flight Dynamics Officer right now,
will come just short of the velocity record set by Apollo 10 of 24,791 miles per hour in 1969.
We expect peak heating on the vehicle at 6.54 and 52 seconds p.m. central time,
a minute and 22 seconds into entry interface.
At that point, we will be just 204,000 feet above the Earth, traveling at 33,000 feet per second.
The blackout period is expected to last six minutes.
We expect that blackout period to end at 6.59 and 55 seconds p.m. central time.
From the end of the blackout period until splashdown it is just seven minutes.
At which point we'll start deploying the series of parachutes to slow integrity down to an ultimate splashdown velocity of just 19 miles an hour.
We see the same waiting for the 180 rolls.
The parachute deployment sequence once again will come in several segments, but written
rapid fire succession.
And we have a great view of the moon out window too.
Looks a little smaller than yesterday.
I guess we'll have to go back.
Reed Wiseman and Jackie Mahaffey exchanging discussion on a view of the moon that
Integrity's astronauts are seeing in the final minutes of this mission
that will be completed with splashdown just 25 minutes from now.
three forward bay cover parachutes will be used to pull the forward bay cover
off the top of the vehicle then two drug parachutes will be deployed to slow
and stabilize the crew module dollar frigid nerds man followed by three pilot
parachutes that will lift and deploy the main parachutes from the forward
bay the final sequence will have three main parachutes deployed these will
be 116 feet in diameter, each main parachute approximately 265 feet long when reefed.
The parachutes will ultimately slow integrity down from its peak speed of almost 33 times
the speed of sound to a gentle 19 miles an hour as splashdown.
The vehicle is now currently in a roll to the proper attitude for entry interface.
trajectory is right on according to Flight Dynamics.
Play the International when it comes in. Did you just think they're in a Hollywood
studio right now southwest and northeast across the pacific ocean descending at a
rate of 15,000 feet per second
this explains the danger of the splashdown yeah it's the hottest reentry
range to touch down 4,300 nautical miles all the systems in excellent
shape. Wait, it's in 23 minutes. Oh, we're only 10 minutes out from true reentry. You
motherfuckers did the damn thing again, bro. You did the thing again. You did the fucking
thing again. You always do this. We're like, Trump is live. Trump is live. And then it's
It's like an hour out before Trump even steps on the fucking podium.
You I think you understand how many people here worked on this like in this community.
I feel like if people in this community worked on this project, they'd probably be watching
the official stream instead of my stream, you know, you fall for it.
Every time you'd be great at working mission control multitasking on multiple screens
law. Dude. Wait, did Randy find respond again? He did. I just tweeted at him. That's crazy.
What the fuck? I said, look how quickly these demonic racist Republicans cry when you retaliate
with a fracture of the cruelty they spit on a daily basis. This is why I always prefer
a vulgar person who fights these monsters. There's someone who'll be civil with them.
And then he posted this immediately. Oh my God, I just posted this three minutes ago.
He's got my replies on his staff is definitely in here. No, I think, I think he has notifications
on.
Your jihad is against burgers.
Your jihadist against stairs and twitter hates you yet he unites them and defending you
Yeah, no, I mean these are people who I think hate
These are people who are more reviled than I ever could be
This is why I don't defend you on Twitter bro, man shit your bitch ass up and you better fucking defend me, okay
What do you mean digital I don't defend you on Twitter don't be a fucking coward
What are you afraid of Randy fine? What's wrong with you?
Do you think we'll get back on the moon for China no
Your jihad is against stairs and sleep apnea you dumb bitch
That's a good one right? Trump's about to cut NASA budget by 45%
percent. Bro, unlike 290 and even I'm afraid he may try to eat me.
Randy Fine eats leftist like hamburgers because he told us not to defend you like a year ago.
Yeah, that time has passed. That was over like idiotic nonsense. Okay. This is different.
These guys at this point have designed this community as, as like the, uh, the, the magnet
for all things left. Okay. These are, these are serious people. I mean, these are politicians.
I mean, they're behaving in a deeply unserious manner, but
you know, it's it's it's gotten to a point where
you're not just defending me, you're defending yourself.
Time Lord said attacks against Son of Honor attacks against a progressive movement.
We're built upon solid air.
But some people seem to think that their personal vendetta is against people like
a son are more important than the cause is not grow up and stand or
or our stand for others, not yourselves or ourselves.
Like, I didn't choose to be the fucking beacon, okay?
Wait, he does have my, oh my God,
he literally does have my fucking notifications on.
Yeah, deport Randy Fine.
On top of this, it feels like I see hundreds of comments
Every post about you from ultra left types, bro. You are dick eating a framer everywhere. I know I know
Tweet the pic Adam. Oh my god. Oh
My god, look at his pussy, bro. That's crazy
God damn all right, we're four minutes away from reentry
What is this? What are you looking at?
What are we looking at here? This is fake bro, this is not real, they're making this up.
In a Hollywood studio clearly.
Because otherwise you would know the world is flat.
And the think Artemis II just flew around Randy Fine?
He's still tweeting a nice authority.
As it crosses from southwest to northeast across the Pacific Ocean, 3 minutes from entry interface.
16 and a half minutes till splashdown.
The USS John P. Murtha and the recovery team is on station and in position as are the airborne
imagery assets that we hope to receive imagery from as Artemis and the shuttle is being pulled
by the gravitational pull of Randy Fine.
Just as FUPA alone has a gravitational pull, it's crazy.
All of integrity systems are in great shape, the crew is ready to complete its mission
just 15 and a half minutes from now.
All of the activities today have gone off in perfect fashion.
No issues with the vehicle, no issues with the crew.
And the weather at the Splashdown site is go.
Ryan reviewed poll questions about you that he asked Michigan voters.
Recently Democratic U.S. Senate candidate, Abdul El-Said announced that a Sampoiger
left wing political commentator would join him in campaign rallies and campuses.
On April 7, El-Said's opponents have criticized those planned rallies, accusing a Sampoig
of anti-Semism and highlighting past contrarian remarks. I'll say it is argued that criticism
of Israel should not be confused with anti-Semism. There's many defended those rallies with Piker.
Do you approve or disapprove Dr. Abdul? I'll say it, inviting us on Piker to join those
rallies.
I'm coming up on the entry interface.
Strongly approve 15, somewhat approve 25, somewhat disapprove 17, strongly disapprove
13 30 don't know total approve is 40 total disapprove is 30
There you go there you have it
Mark one minute until entry interface
Hold on we're got it 20 seconds until the expected start of our six minute blackout
It's so wild that you think you keep kneeling with insults and he keeps responding with
that fool that's that summer's friend and our accountability as an elected official.
I think he's on autopilot.
10 seconds till entry interface if he entered if it enters is going to be a blackout because
if that's the case I'm going to lose my mind blackout was only four minutes during Apollo
mission six minutes is insane like this blackout mean did they blackout or does blackout
I mean we can't see them entering the Earth's atmosphere we're at 400,000 feet
traveling 34,800 feet per second
wait so we won't even be able to see them we're waiting to not be able to see
them what the fuck are you guys suggesting so your suggestion is that
Can we watch a dark screen?
And as predicted, we've entered our communications blackout.
This will be a six minute blackout period.
No voice, no data from the crew.
Check. Y'all are fucking assholes, dude.
I swear to God.
30 seconds away from the anticipated point of peak heating on the vehicle.
We can't even monitor the situation for six minutes.
45,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the true test of our trajectory
Where is your whimsy I?
Swerve yeah, this is the most and from the G5
Aircraft
Trump mentioned you're on truth social. No, he didn't shut the fuck up integrity
You're me mean
So that pinpoint of light shows the vehicle as it enters the period of peak heating in the Earth's atmosphere
the first tug of gravity being felt by Integrity's astronauts
since their launch back on April 1st.
Four and a half minutes until the end of the blackout period.
Time to splash down
11 minutes 33 seconds
That's a lie
He did not fucking that's not a real
That's not a real tweet. Why are you fucking freaking me out dude? Jesus Christ that is written so perfectly like a real tweet too
My heart dropped for a second Jesus Christ
That's terrifying. That's actually terrifying.
Landing and support officer reports that the P3 has access to an unantibody.
More suddenly, the student blackout, bro, chatters the histories in the making.
Bro, go outside and watch it.
Blackout period.
How am I supposed to see this? Where is it landing?
landing of the plasma buildup around the spacecraft and the
repelling of that heat on integrity's heat shield
Wait it is landing in San Diego
6 minute black is also having a randy fine after 13 bacon haters
It's landing to the Pentagon. Okay, everyone is fucking memeing too hard. I'm trying to figure shit out right now. Hold on
Flight dynamics reports that airborne assets and the vicinity of the splashdown zone do have a visual on integrity
Still 2 minutes and 40 seconds left in our blackout period.
Time to splash down, 9 minutes, 35 seconds.
Multiple airborne assets as part of the recovery team all have visuals on integrity.
and the WB 57 notice how they can't show the truth so they have to do a
visualization obviously is fake bro Chatters have Chatters complain about
how this is AI art by the way have we gotten there yet do we have that level
of stupidity in the chat who who's gonna complain now I'm watching AI art
the blackout period. Still do not have communications from the crew.
Get Marat on the line. Your commentary is insufficient.
You shut your fuck up mouth with NASA slander.
Ilhan still be on today? Yes.
in half an hour. NASA can't afford Unreal Engine 5, this is the best we can do as a country.
Yes. We're standing by for communications from the crew. We should be out of the blackout period less than a minute from now.
We are now processing data from integrity.
landing and support officer was also to the real breakdown to the splash down what the
fuck does Austin know he's going to complain about the peanuts offered on the flight.
What is this please watch these flat earthers cope so hard during the launch oh I love
that. People get mad about my splashdowns after a trip to the bathroom. Let's fucking
shit. Awesome. We want Marat. He's not coming on, dude. Okay. What the fuck's wrong with
you guys? I'm gonna, I'm gonna...
Passing through 150,000 feet of...
For many of these crossings right now. Why the fuck would I ever put my brother
on camera?
views of integrity still waiting to establish voice communication integrity
Houston Com check post blackout oh you're alive integrity we have you a lot of
I'm speeding them up.
It's just a view room.
As voice communication re-established with Commander Reid Wiseman,
for America and a waiting world, integrity is five and a half minutes away from coming home.
Proof this is fake.
I'll flashing mice warning for epilepsy warning.
Jesus Christ, even.
Range to splash down 19 nautical miles.
Strobe flashing lights don't have seizures
How did you speed ahead on something live I have superpowers, bro is still fucking flashing. What is this?
Integrity impact to the camera controller fail is no cab line views of the shoot
Camera fail? No!
Integrity.
We're processing good data through the GPS system.
A good view of integrity. Time to splash down four and a half minutes.
This is Hollywood?
Bro, it's clearly not. And a view of integrity from the
everybody knows if it was actually Hollywood they wouldn't have allowed the camera to fail.
Is this also AI? Is this AI?
Imagine falling for four minutes straight, bro. Buddy.
Wait till you find out that all of the, all the satellites or the ISS, isn't the ISS literally
always falling is like in a constant state of falling. Now what it means to be in orbit?
You're literally just falling all the time every single day. And there go the first
series of parachutes, and we're on droves. And Houston were visual too, droves out the window.
Two good drug shoots. Geosynchronous orbit, specifically.
Next up, the deployment of pilot parachutes that will pull the mainshoots out.
Time to splash down three minutes in ten seconds.
Oh my god, there's still three minutes of parachute time.
We see the same onboard.
to 10,000 feet still on drugs.
Mainland deploy.
We're at 5,000 feet.
search and recovery beacon has been activated on integrity and we have three
good main shoots oh that's why it's three minutes now it's like greatly good
decent rate and we see three greatly stopped it's a it makes sense 25,000
miles to 19 miles per hour and six minutes insane
integrity cabin pressure indicates no need for hydrogen trucks integrity copies
this is a three Sylvia cosmonauts by doing this when the parachutes are fucked
up well thank God the parachutes are fine
time to splash down one minute 15 seconds are they all they're acting
like Katy Perry. Yeah, Katy Perry didn't go to the fucking moon. Okay. And go around
the moon. That's crazy. Integrity about to complete a journey spanning 694,481 miles
from its launch from the Kedema space. Why glaze Elon with this shit? Elon had nothing
to do with this. Um, right? Elon had nothing to do with this, right? Elon would have
blown the shit out of weeks ago. Yeah, this is all NASA, baby.
How dare you?
These guys didn't go to the moon either. Yes, they did.
Didn't they go around the moon or something? Am I crazy?
Did I misunderstand the mission? I didn't.
They didn't land on the moon.
Yeah.
Well, what is that? What was that?
Do you see that passing through 1000? What is that?
Aliens, bro, you a piece you a piece you a piece
They did a lunar flyby which is beast mode
How does it feel to get viewmarked by NASA?
This official NASA livestream literally has 1.2 million views.
Splashdown confirmed at 7 0 7 p.m. Central time 507 p.m. Pacific time
From the pages of Jules Verne to a modern-day mission to the moon a new chapter of the exploration of our celestial neighbor is complete
Integrity's astronauts back on earth. That's pretty sick
Do you think they clap in there like when pilots land the plane brother all pilots technically know
and the landing and support officer reports the vehicle is stable one we still will be deploying the crew module upriding system to maintain that orientation a perfect bullseye splashdown for integrity in its four astronauts.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
The unofficial
splashdown time, 707 in 47 seconds
That would put the end of the mission at a mission elapsed time of nine days one hour thirty one minutes thirty five seconds
And we're configuring for very low data rate
Once again
Splashdown on CNN feet played an ad.
This was this segment was sponsored by CalSheet.
For all of your splashdown leads, splash it down with a good bet on CalSheet.
Houston, we have you loud and clear on the field there, our house.
We have you the same, we'll meet you over in post landing.
Perfect communications established.
journey we are stable one or green crew members you think happy dawn read wise
been reporting for green crew members that is not their complexion that is the
fact that they're in great condition that's what thank you for explaining
that to us so a lot of you guys are celebrating this scientific
accomplishment today. Okay, and to all of you I say how dare you. Think about the
$2 billion that went into this project to go further than any man ever has around
the moon. Those $2 billion could have been spent on munitions that go to
Israel to blow up numerous schools in both Lebanon, Gaza, and also Iran. Okay,
That's why as the number one woke, as the woker, I'm shaking my head in disagreement with what
I'm seeing, this is positively one of the most anti-Semitic things that the American government
has done.
Think about the number of babies.
The number of babies that could have been slaughtered with $2 billion of GBU-52 guided
munitions.
Damn, that's ass though.
What is this?
GBU 50 Simon reporting for green crew members, meaning they're all in excellent shape.
Integra, Houston 4, Sarebekan N Radio.
Our beacon is in 406, and we're firing radio now.
Go ahead.
We see the beacon on.
However, the recovery team is not seeing the signal.
Your star radio uses the same antenna, so you may run
into trouble with the radio.
Take copy, and we're also firing up the fat photo now.
So, integrity is in great shape, and as the crew continues its post-splashdown timeline
activities on board, read Weisman once again reporting that all four crew members are in
excellent shape, and we have five inflated airbags to maintain an upright configuration
So that the reaction, the recovery team can now begin a slow approach to the vehicle.
Meanwhile here in the flight control room, entry flight director Rick Hentling is polling
his team of flight controllers for the start of powering down the vehicle after a thorough
systems check.
We have no toxic gases to be concerned about.
So the recovery personnel can approach the vehicle, but not until we have powered down
the spacecraft.
That's expected to take a few more minutes.
I had to pull out the throne for the queen, you know what I'm saying?
Integrity back on Earth following its historic flyby of the moon.
It was, for all intents and purposes, a textbook mission.
We copy.
Reid Weisman indicating some trouble with the SARSat phone on board, but that's not an issue.
What is more important is that the vehicle is solid.
No issues as we begin the power down of the vehicle to begin the recovery process.
Can you ask her about this mission to make a connection between the segments?
No.
It's so funny.
What is this backseat production chatter?
The propulsion officer here in mission control reports that we have saved the prop system
on integrity.
Chatters, excuse me.
I need this.
Very weak and broken.
Contiguous.
I need this particular live stream to make sure it has the proper transitions in between
different segments.
It would alarm me if we just went out of nowhere.
We out of nowhere decided to drop into an interview.
Please do a proper segue please.
Yeah, Marat is back on earth finally.
Mark Levin tweeted about you.
Yeah, I know he did.
Executed in this morning integrity entering the Earth's atmosphere
right on time
Reaching its peak speed
Shortly after a blackout period began we emerged from the blackout period
But the recovery imagery
Airborne assets were able to pick up integrity's descent almost immediately through entry interface
tracking the vehicle all the way down and finally you saw the sequence of
shoot deployment. And so I need you to re-emphasize the themes and motifs of the
broadcast. Yeah, he called for Yale's funding to be shipped too.
The joke shoots were deployed followed by the three main shoots that slowed the
splashdown velocity of integrity to just 19 miles an hour.
you integrity he's been with no joy on
an additional 15 minutes for a total
of 30 minutes power down delay
I called the hunt and see someone a few
years back when you had her on stream
and he told me to suck your dick in
permaband I spent so much time trying
to validate that I became a fan my bad
three zero good joy on the star radio or something and stand by we have fun on
star radio is the funniest way that's the funniest way that someone has gone
from leader to fan hey Jackie we just got the master diver on the star
Newsweek said they reached out to you for a comment, but I guess you haven't seen it since
you've been live.
What's the, what's the newsweek?
You are one of the fast boats.
Is it this?
If you are happy with your com with master diver, you can go back to the 15 minute powder.
Is that the article?
Okay, stand by.
Bro, some of these guys, some of these news outlets will literally just be like,
we're writing a headpiece on you.
You have to respond to us in the next three minutes and say, what do you want me to do,
man?
Like, yeah, sorry.
I, I don't have the bandwidth, you know, it's not possible for me to respond in the next
three minutes before you fucking released the article.
Yeah, we are getting closer and closer every day to Donald Trump actually talking about
me, which is kind of devastating.
a little bit terrifying. This is this could become a reality. A sodpiker whom I have the
much much displeasure of learning about from the great Mark Levin is apparently one of the
most anti-American pro-terrorist influencers in our beautiful country. Now I am hearing
the great school of Yale is hosting him next week. Not good! They will be smart to drop
them from their event or risk losing their federal funding. Now, he would never see
the great school of Yale. That's how you know his fate. He would never see the great
school yeah he was shit on there
you think copies and read just to confirm you are
pushing the PTT
what if he likes you like he likes Zauron no I didn't win an election he
doesn't think I'm a winner he thinks I'm a danger
if he thinks about me at all at that point.
So as we continue to sort out the communications between integrity
and the recovery teams, we are standing by for the initiation
of the power down procedures that as you see the recovery teams
are moving towards the side of the capsule.
The next major event will be the erection
of that large inflatable raft called the front porch.
that will be the port of call for the crew as they're being extracted one by one from the vehicle.
Integrity Houston for Satsom, we are going to attempt to call you.
Good idea, standing by.
And Jackie, yes, we are pushing the push to talk, the two buttons on the left side of the radio below the up-down arrows.
We are utilizing them. I'm rebooting the radio to see if we get good coms.
Okay, we copy all and just to confirm you are seeing that you're a touchdown plus thirty three zero for power, correct?
That's a primitive
We are trying a back door approach to have mission control here call the crew on their satellite phone
This all part of the coordination for the power down of the vehicle that will
initiate the actual recovery operation the
First boats for the Navy divers on board are what is Lumer does all this?
Just have you meet trouble like Zara and him love you that happens in my head cannon
I don't think it's going to happen.
The large inflatable raft that's called the front porch that will be where the astronauts
are extracted from so that they can have a few minutes to get their land legs back before
they're hoisted aboard the Navy helicopters for the flight back to the deck of the USS
John P. Murtha.
Will show Trump the big MAGA hat and he'll love you like Bob does.
I am the hog whisperer after all, so there's a likelihood that if it was a, if I had control
over the environment, I could come in with a big MAGA hat.
and
and Houston please reply and are the very weak
Leo Tarell repos of the Rick Scott tweet Leo Tarell also was trying to get me I get my Michigan appearances cancelled to I
Don't know if anybody actually listens to Leo Tarell in the admin honestly hold on
Inhance here
The door is open.
I'm live.
I'm live.
This is Mission Control Houston.
While we stand by for the establishment of communications between integrity and the recovery
team that is basically by very close to the spacecraft.
We're going to go to the deck of the USS John P. Murtha, where Megan Cruz is standing
by with Administrator Jared Isaacman.
Okay Rob, yeah just such an honor to be able to be here on the ship to be able to share
and experience this moment with everyone together and of course as you just said yes.
with NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman. Administrator, how did you feel getting to witness this and
seeing NASA at its best?
Oh, I mean, I'm honestly, I'm still at a loss for words. I mean, you know, like the childhood
Jared right now can't believe what I just saw. I mean, I've almost been waiting my whole
lifetime to see this, and then as NASA Administrator, I just couldn't be more proud of the entire
workforce, the years, the effort, the late nights, all the hard work from across the
country that contributed to this incredible moment right now. And yeah, incredibly grateful
too for our teams here on the John P. Murther right now.
Yeah, look at the monitor here.
I mean, we've got everybody. What do you guys think? We just brought some astronauts back
from the moon, huh?
Unbelievable. Thank you. Yeah, so grateful to the Navy, the sailors that are here,
the NASA teams. I mean, this is a joint effort that's on their way right now.
recovery forces are getting out to our Ryan spacecraft to integrity, get our
astronauts back on the ship safely. Yeah, and this is not just an accomplishment
for NASA, this is an accomplishment for humanity again. A historic mission to the
moon and back. How does this make you feel and what do you hope people take away from this?
Ladies and gentlemen, I think about it.
I'm on the building. Hey, um, it's an honor to have you in the building in the flesh. Um,
yeah. Uh, what are you, what are you doing in Los Angeles? Ah, just visiting. Oh, just
chillin. Just visiting. Okay. That's a lie. Cause I know, cause I know, I know you're,
you're hanging out with the pod jobs as well. Yes, I've heard cause I was with them
this morning. That's what they told me. Yeah, I was doing a piece with John Lovett. Okay.
Yeah, because he, you know, I'm getting attacked. Yeah, so controversial. Yeah, I'm getting
attacked. What did you do? What did you do? What have I done? I mean, I've done the, you
know how it is. Yeah. You know how it is. What's the Cuba? How dare you? Well, that's
That's true. And apparently your daughter was there as well, but I did not see her because
I was...
How can you be a good person and try to help people?
I know.
What's the problem?
It is messed up. I think a lot of people get very mad. I've begun to realize that
it isn't even ideological for a lot of people. For many it is. But for a lot of people,
it's also just like, because they're not doing anything, when they see someone doing
anything, anything at all. They go, Oh, there's got to be a sinister purpose behind this,
an ulterior motive. And I'm going to do my very best to disparage it.
Well, it's really weird to say here in America, we have freedom and then to limit people's
ability to go freely where they want. Yeah. Well, or stay in whichever hotel that they
want to stay in. We forced them to. Yeah. Yeah. I know, which was really interesting
Cause like half of the people were like, oh, he chose to stay at this five star hotel to flex on the poor Cubans.
And then the other half was like, oh, I bet he didn't stay in the government sanctioned hotel that he was supposed to stay in.
He should go to prison for 10 years.
Cause that's what it is.
No, no, if you, if you, if you stay in the other, like an Airbnb or something, well, there's some Airbnb's, but there's, if you stay in a hotel that isn't the four hotels in Havana that the American government has allowed you to stay in.
You can go to prison for 10 years and pay fines up to $250,000.
That's insane, right? How many Americans do you think know about that?
Well, because in order for us to even fly to Cuba, we had to get an OFAC clearance,
I feel like they probably tell people, I mean, I didn't do any of the paper.
I mean, I did the paperwork, but I didn't look at all of the all of the different details
because it was organized.
We weren't really vacationing.
Yeah, I was document the blockade and death and devastation.
Also here, let's bring this mic closer to you.
Yeah, the death and devastation people were experiencing is what you were there to document and bring light to, you know, what our government is doing.
Yeah, exactly.
Which, you know, a lot of people have been yelling about, uh, for me, Jaipal also went recently.
She's trying to be like me. Jonathan Jackson.
You just try to be like me. It's not a big deal.
Whatever. I actually went with Pramila maybe two and a half years ago.
ago. Oh, wow. They were in Havana. It's beautiful. It's definitely gotten, at least according
to what Corbyn was telling me, Zeus there as well on our trip. And he was saying that
it's gotten significantly worse over the years because what a lot of people don't
know is that the oil embargo actually started in 2019. It didn't actually, it worsened
in the last couple of months where Trump just came out and was like Mexico and
Canada are no longer allowed to send oil. No countries allowed to send oil to Cuba at all.
But the secondary sanctions started in 2019 which were mysteriously never reversed because there
was a president between. That's true. We worked really hard to try to get him to reverse.
But I mean that now I think people have to understand that the
The black kid is to the point of like, oh, oh my God.
This is a humanitarian catastrophe.
This is a special gift for you.
Okay.
It's a it's a room temperature.
How do you know?
It's a room temperature purely iced tea.
Okay, this is like very, very embargoed information.
that I
I just I did my research Wow, okay
Call one of my kids
What makes you what makes you say that?
if my staff would like
Would give you this information
You have to either like talk to my husband or my kids
It's specifically room temperature or secretly find who my best friends are. Yeah. I don't know. I just oh my god
This is this is like yeah, it's like hot ones Shawn Evans
Now all of the Daily Mail's and New York Post are gonna try to get
Sources are yeah get more information on me. Yeah dangerous
What I did my research ahead of time, what do you mean? I'm a little bit of a simp. It's it is what it is
Yeah, I had to pull a pull a little bit of a Nardaward, you know Nardaward the human serviette the goofy Canadian guy who interviews all these musicians
He's very famous. He'll do like deep dives into
The the people that he's interviewing and he'll be like when you were in third grade
This is what happened and then the the person that he's interviewing. Oh my god. Yeah
No, I didn't I did not I did not know that. Yeah
Yeah, and then he always goes you're
you know, whatever, insert musician, I'm supposed to know. And yeah, you're in Omar. I'm supposed
to know. Yeah, you're supposed to know. Yeah, no, this for me is not in the category of people
know. Okay, well, now, now everybody knows in front of 32,000 people. Okay, well, in
any case, what were we talking about? We're talking about devastation in Cuba and the
Biden administration not really doing the reverse that speaking of Biden administration's
refusal to reverse certain decisions. Let's get right into it, Iran. Obviously, I have
my criticisms of Barack Obama, and I've been very forthcoming with that. But there were
two signature accomplishments, foreign policy accomplishments of the Obama administration.
One of them was the JCPOA, a multilateral agreement that brought in not only European
allies, but also China and Russia to control the Iranian uranium enrichment program in exchange
for sanctions relief.
And it was roundly criticized by even Democrats as well, including Chuck Schumer, who was
one of the main critics on the Democratic Party side.
And Donald Trump ripped it apart.
What was the other policy?
Well, the other one was the Cuban normalization.
So, I mean, those were his two foreign policy achievements that I thought were pretty good.
I actually literally asked the Cubans when I was there, like, what do you think about that?
And they were like, we don't know why he did that to this day.
They were like, we don't know what motivated the Obama administration to come out of nowhere
to be working in normalized relations with Cuba.
I mean, I remember meeting artists and small business owners who were really out of the
fact that that was done and really devastated when the Biden administration didn't work to
follow suit.
Yeah.
Well, the last day when he was getting out of office, he released a sandwich on Cuba
for one day, which was almost an insult, I think.
We're insulting than anything else, but in any case...
They were telling us for like a year and a half that it was going to happen this week.
Wait, really?
Yeah.
The Cuban one?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, the administration would tell us, you know, this week, especially when we came
back from Cuba.
Before we went to Cuba, we actually went and we met, Elizabeth Warren was also in
that meeting, Chai Paul, myself, Mark Bocan, we met with Jack Jake Sullivan, and he told
us that that was something that they were seriously looking at, and they just kept saying,
we're working on it, we're working on it, we're working on it, and it was really disheartening
to see that work get done the day before, only for Trump to get rid of it.
Yeah, it is devastating.
Because even if he did it right after the election, it would have at least given
the Cuban people, you know, a couple of years.
But even then, it's, what's frustrating about it is that, from what I understand, one of
the main things the Cuban government needs is stability, like the sanctions relief, if
it's on borrowed time, is not going to lead to the stability necessary for them to rebuild
their infrastructure and to allow, allow there to be free commerce in the country.
Because one thing that I was stressed about, one thing that was constantly
reiterated to me is the idea that the Cuban government is not looking for
handcuffs. I mean, they appreciate the humanitarian aid, but they just simply
want to be able to exist as a sovereign country without, you know,
American sanctions terrorism, economic terrorism, and collective punishment. And it's virtually
impossible for them to take out loans, for example, to establish any new projects.
To do any sort of trade. Or even reform their economy. Yeah. Because there has been some conversations
about economic reform internally within the party. And it's virtually impossible for them to
adequately and they did actually do a huge package of economic reforms when
Raul took over before this current first-name basis before this current
administration and this current administration like people were actually
excited for it because they knew that there were these reforms they were
going to expand on these reforms and you had when when the when the Obama
a deal sort of happened, there was an influx of small business owners. There were a lot
of really interesting restaurants that were stood up. There were a lot of artists that
were ready to travel, to be able to share their music with the outside world. And when
Trump came in and he put the sanctions back on and designated them as a country that
supports terrorism, a state sponsor of terrorism, that meant everything was gone.
Yeah. Right. You couldn't it limited the the number of tourists that could come in
and a huge part of their economy, because it is a beautiful country relies on having tourism.
You know, there are a lot. They have a huge population that's very young, that's very energetic.
So it put a damper on the kind of dreams that they were starting to foster.
And now, even with this administration, you're seeing those sanctions expand with the complete
oil embargo.
And that means there isn't enough fuel that the Cuban people can actually utilize.
But also, to me, what is even more heartbreaking is that we are limiting their ability to
do good in the world.
export and train so many doctors and nurses that help countries with the
poorest health infrastructure. Yeah and we are saying to those countries you
can no longer take in Cuban doctors. Yeah Jamaica just released their Cuban
medical mission and I talked to the the the health care professionals in charge
of the medical missions. I'd interviewed him prior when Marco Rubio had
first made this announcement a year ago, and he told me that 100% of coverage is offered
by Cuban doctors in areas of dire need in Jamaica.
So a lot of people in Jamaica, especially in underserved areas, are just never going
to see a doctor again.
I mean, a lot of the Caribbean nations are capitulating to this demand by Trump and
Rubio.
Mexico is actually, I think, one of the few countries that are saying no, which is promising
because I don't think that it is, I don't think it is normal for the United States to make these
kind of demands on these countries that really one desperately need the help and support that
that they can get in, you know, strengthening their health infrastructure. But it's also,
I think, just a severe level of bullying when someone tells you who can come into your country
to provide health care assistance. And yeah, it's just it's it's wrong and disgusting in
in so many ways.
One of the things that I was so frustrated about.
Also my pediatrician when I was a kid was Cuba trained.
Oh wow.
So a part of me always loved the fact that even in Somalia as kids we had a doctor that
was trained in Cuba who provided excellent pediatric care to us.
That's true.
Yeah.
One of the things that I was very frustrated by is also the fact that like not only
is the blockade invisible in many respects. I mean, it becomes very visible when you see the
impact of it, right? The shortages, the rationing, the lack of medicine available in pharmacies
because there's no gas to transport the medication. And the refrigeration obviously
needs electricity and the grid falls apart with regular frequency, 30 hour long blackouts
and whatnot. But also, the fact that like, Americans are just totally oblivious to it.
And I think if we were to ask Americans by referendum, like, do you think it's appropriate
for us to just like starve this country 90 miles off our coastline and be like, no.
It's because it's so unbelievably cruel and so unnecessary, these arbitrary restrictions.
Yeah. And it's every time we've had a catastrophe happen here in the United
states they've always asked for help. They've always offered to send us help. And that just shows you
the heart that the Cuban people have and their generosity and their desire to do good in the
world. Yeah, they offered 1500 doctors after Katrina and George W. Bush refused.
Yeah, said no. Yeah. And including like medical aid as well. It's so,
So it's so ridiculous that's how much you guys were there actually when the the blackout
Happened that ended up killing like 98 people or something is retooled me
No, I think that number was incorrect the Cuban health ministry then was a smaller
I'm not sure exactly what the number was but there was definitely. Yeah, there was a big blackout that took place while we were there
And and I mean there were blackouts
Uh, the entire time, like it's a, it's a much longer, uh, process than I, and I thought I grew up in Turkey.
I'm, I'm used to blackouts.
Um, and then when I came to America, uh, I forgot what's happened all the time.
That's the thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But the blackouts in Cuba were unlike anything else, uh, because even like the, the, uh, electricity in the, in the city
infrastructure, uh, would, would collapse.
So there were no no traffic lights. No lights was or pitch black darkness
Walking through the streets
Traffic accidents and stuff like that. Yeah, well, there's not that many cars on the road anyway, so
but
Yeah, they're
Resilience can we talk about their adaptability and resilience? Yeah, that's what I was gonna say
Yeah, you walk through these pitch black neighborhoods these streets and you see a little light
Yeah, and there's just a bunch of people
playing dominoes with like a phone light, you know, and and they're even that even I
mentioned that and people were like oh he's saying Cubans enjoy being in in no
electricity it's like it's so ridiculous. No, one of my friends has this one
person play that she does in Minneapolis and I think it's called like being a
a child in war playing with balloons.
Because when you know, when when you are in those kind of environments,
I think like people who read about it or watch movies, all they think about
is just the harshness of the situation.
But the human capacity is just to find one joyful thing to do.
That, you know, keeps you light, even if bombs are dropping on you.
And that's what her play is about.
And it's a beautiful play, but like that's what I hear when you say, you know,
that people are playing music or drumming or, you know, dancing or doing flips.
It's just they're trying to find a way to entertain themselves because the pain is too much.
Portable speakers, they always, they would blast the music from portable speakers everywhere.
It's that was very interesting.
Yeah, I mean, you see Nika, Nika was there.
Yeah, I brought them there.
Did you? Yeah.
Okay, so you know them. Okay, I'm a fan.
When we were doing... Oh, they'll love to hear that.
I sort of met them and told them, and they recorded a little video for me.
Oh, hell yeah. When we were planning this trip out with Progressive International,
I was like, I know, I was reaching out to a bunch of my friends, you know, celebrities and the like,
to see who would be down. And I immediately, I was like,
I know exactly who would definitely come.
Nice.
And I hit up their manager Daniels, a fascinating figure.
he's, uh, he actually was, uh, in the UN for Ireland, uh, for the longest time.
He's a, uh, he's done a bunch of stuff with, uh, uh, the Palestinian
girls team as well, where they came and did a, uh, exhibition match, uh, in Ireland.
But I hit him up and I was like, yo, uh, I think you guys would really enjoy,
uh, like we're going to go to Cuba.
I think this is like right up your alley.
He was like, bet immediately.
He's like, yep, we're down.
That sounds awesome.
Yeah, I know one of their one of their quotes was solidarity is in the bones of the Irish people and they're here. Yeah, it's something like that. Yeah. Yeah, it's absolutely true.
Irish people are, as I like to say, the coolest white people I ever met in my life.
My husband is of Irish heritage, so he loved to hear that.
Well, Irish Americans are a little different.
Irish Americans.
Okay, we're taking it back.
Yeah, Irish Americans are a little different. And the Irish folks would say that too.
Yeah, it's supposed to be cool.
But they are way too Americanized for the more as far as always more ratchet than
Don't even get me started. I mean, I'm in hot water
One of the one of the things that people are yelling at me the RNC is just like
I've spoken for 21,000 hours on Twitch. Yeah, I can't literally 21,000 hours, right?
So they're like finding choice clips out of context to be like, he's this he's that they're like claiming I'm
Basically everything that I'm not right
Obviously, the common one is anti-Semitic and you know a bit about that from your own
personal experience for many, many years being one of the standalone figures that was resilient
in her commitment to Palestinian sovereignty.
And that's one of the things that people will constantly rip on me or constantly clip
out of context is like whenever someone will be like, let's you know, sort of Trump or,
you know, like, there was like a Vietnamese for MAGA women or something. And they'll clip
it out of context when I'm like yelling at someone to be like, he's yelling at this,
this Vietnamese lady, like he's racist towards the Vietnamese like, no, I'm yelling at them
because they're reactionary. Like I'm yelling at them because they're, they're trying
to use standpoint epistemology to justify like Nazi politics.
Yeah, and it's the Vietnamese person here in the US. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, but
It is what it is. That's like one of the things that they're doing
I mean, I saw a lot of that with with Iran too initially when
People from the diaspora would be like no, this is you don't understand America's gonna liberate the country
Yeah, and one of the first things they did was bomb a school full of children or the girls
Yeah, exactly. Um, but what I was gonna say is
As far as like not going back to the previous formation with the JCPOA under the Biden administration,
what do you think that was about?
Because like I haven't heard from a lot of prominent Democrats since Donald Trump came
into office.
I rarely ever, I rarely ever hear, even in the first term, that the JCPOA was a
positive thing.
positive, it was a move in the positive direction. And even now, when Democrats from a partisan
perspective that might want to attack Donald Trump to be like, see, we did this better than
you did. Like this has been a spectacular quagmire that you got us into alongside Israel.
They rarely ever mentioned Barack Obama's JCPOA, even though Barack Obama is probably
the most popular, you know, Democrat alive right now. Yeah.
Why do you think that is?
Well, I I think his
vice presidents and then president Joe Biden
was or I know was against it.
Yeah. And so the understanding
after the Trump administration when Biden got elected
it was that he was going to do something different.
And I don't know why we never got to what
that different thing was, because nothing really happened
that was structural in any kind of way
that Democrats could rally around.
So you still had the Pelosi's of the Democratic Party
that kept holding on to the deal Obama reached
with the Iranians. And then you had other Democrats like the Schumer wing of our party that was
like, please, let's not talk about this because we don't want that deal. And so, you know,
and one thing that also people don't often talk about is the MOU that got us the $3.8
billion dollar guarantee yearly to Israel was part of the selling point for the Democrats
that eventually ended up supporting the O.A. So it's not. It's it's not that it didn't come
with a headache for for our party to contend with. It came with this blanket check
back to to Israel that has 3.8 a year, 3.8 annually.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That that has allowed for us to be complacent in genocide that has allowed for us to be
dragged into war with Iran that has allowed for the capitulation of, you know, some
of these Middle Eastern countries with with Israel.
So, yes, there was a good thing that came from it for a little bit and eventually it
led to the devastation we're watching right now.
But it also was, you know, something that allowed for the genocide in Gaza.
Yeah.
And guaranteed them this impunity, the impunity that we provide to Israel forever.
So let's talk about that because ALC recently came out after having a conversation with
New York DSA and said that she's now in favor of no aid or no financial aid to Israeli weapons
purchases.
This has now officially become the new litmus test for a lot of rising stars in the
party that want to prove their progressive bona fides. And one, why do you think the offensive
defensive restriction in your own words is inconsequential or why do you not make a difference
between the two? And then two, do you feel like this gives us an opportunity to push for even more?
Yeah, for me, I've always looked at it as military support on behalf of the American taxpayer,
is military support on behalf of the American taxpayer.
To me, whether I give you weapons to defend yourself or weapons to kill that might allow
you to commit a genocide that might give you an impunity throughout the genocide that you
chose to carry out. That's, to me, that's the same. And it was never, it never really
made any sense to me where somebody could say, you know, I'm okay in not giving you
money to carry out a war, but I'm OK with providing the immunity, which is what the defense funding
allows for you to carry out your war of choice, because you don't you don't have to worry about
any anything ever happening to you. You can carry out a war without any consequences to yourself or to your
people. Yeah. And that's that's what essentially the argument that somebody is
making that they're okay for Israel to kill people, innocent people, but they're
not okay with anybody, you know, reciprocating or there being any
consequences. Defending is also fungible. At the end of the day,
every dollar they're not spending on Tamir interceptors, they can spend on
offensive weaponry. That's number one. And number two, as you also correctly
pointed to, there is a level of impunity that allows Israel to be so unrestrained when they
know that they have unlimited defense from the United States of America, not only with
the amount of money that we spend on the MOU, but also on top of that, we have directed
assets to the region, even in the 12-day war and obviously in the last 40 days as well
in Operation Epstein's Fury. So, you know, it's unlimited billions of dollars that we
are wasting away, tens of billions of dollars that the assets have been destroyed in the
region. And we have debt American soldiers. Yeah, and we're coming back in caskets. Their
The families were going to be devastated for the rest of their lives.
And all of that because Donald Trump was the only president dumb enough to get goaded into
taking action and follow through on Benjamin and Yao's agenda that he has been very open
about for 40 years.
I mean, he openly admitted, this is what I wanted for 40 years, you know, and Trump
did it.
I'm so eternally grateful.
It's obviously pointless.
Well, Netanyahu, I think, counted his, he bet on at least finding one or two dumb people
who would become president of the United States that he could get them to go to war for him.
One was Bush that took us to Iraq, and then now it's Trump that took us to Iran.
Also, I just want to interrupt this broadcast for a brief moment to show that the Artemis launch is officially, they're pulling out the astronauts.
This is a $2 billion endeavor and therefore deeply anti-semitic because that's $2 billion that could have been sent to the nation state of Israel.
um... and therefore
don't laugh
don't laugh constantly
uh... just you know
and therefore i disagree with the waste of waste of money to go to the moon and back
uh...
now it's probably a really great way to
spend
money hopefully they discovered a lot of really cool things
getting closer and in support
no me too
again that one that's right up against iran those are they're not pulling
them out just yet they're gonna tow them into an aircraft carrier oh yeah okay never mind the nerds
in the chat are correcting me they're not pulling them out of it they're not pulling them out yet
okay never mind what are they doing what are they saying um I don't even know how you read this
what the chat yeah I'm used to it okay yeah um it's a it's a skill definitely okay I'm about to
to have an annual wisdom. I can't look at it. Don't look at the chat. It's not good anyway.
It's absolutely not good. But yeah, let's go NASA. So where were we? What was I talking about
before Artemis? I forgot. No, the $3.8 billion that we're talking about MLU. So yeah,
It's it's uh, I don't think it's a it's a distinction, but what do you?
What do you make of uh, just becoming the new litmus test and and now you have even j street as of today coming out in favor of of
uh
congress persons that they back openly stating that uh, they
Don't make a distinction between defensive and offensive weapons in terms of aid as well
What do you think that says? Is it just a reflection of how much the environment has shifted and it's
Jashree trying to find a more manageable way to continue defending Israel or is it something else?
Yeah, I mean, I do believe obviously a lot has changed since the genocide in Gaza
support for Israel essentially doesn't really exist, especially within the democratic base.
So it makes sense that if you are running for a political position, whether it's Congress
or for the presidency and you're a Democrat and you might find yourself in a competitive
democratic primary that that that's going to be at least where people start the conversation.
The our relationship with Israel is part of that conversation, whether you are okay in
continuing to give this $3.8 billion annually to Israel or not, that's going to be part of
the conversation. I believe we should also go further and say, are you committed to ending
the impunity that we provide to Israel internationally because accountability will never come to Israel
as long as the United States has that fee to a power to stop them from being held accountable
as long as we are sanctioning people at the ICJ and the ICC who want to prosecute Israel
for its crimes. Israel will continue to commit international crimes.
And so I do believe we should also be pushing people to say, this is not okay.
And I am no longer going to allow our country to be used to shield a country that constantly
commits international crimes and constantly kills civilians without any accountability and
with the impunity that they have.
Yeah. This conversation is actually more important than ever before because there's a 10 point
ceasefire plan that the Iranian side
Believes in?
Yeah, just sent to the Americans and right now there's a conversation taking place in
Islamabad and Pakistan. We have reporting from the Financial Times and numerous other
outlets that show that America was the one who actually really pushed for the ceasefire
considering that they failed to achieve any of their military objectives.
Even though Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth kept claiming over and over again, their Navy is
destroyed.
Their launching capabilities have been significantly attritted.
None of that was true, obviously, and they still control the Shredda Hormuz.
One of the key provisions in that deal was a demand for ceasefire in Lebanon.
Well, the Iranis had actually said the entire axis of resistance, which would include Gaza
as well.
However, in the immediate aftermath of that, there was additional reporting that came out
that Benjamin Netanyahu actually called Donald Trump personally and said, no, we're not stopping
bombing Lebanon.
And Donald Trump simply said, keep it low key, which is so indecent and so ridiculous.
But Benjamin Netanyahu objectively did not keep it low key, killed 300 plus Lebanese
civilians in a matter of 10 minutes, one of the most heinous war crimes one of them.
They were very proud of it. Yeah, and openly talking about how they had a right to do it as well.
And this was done by my estimations specifically to destroy the ceasefire process,
which Israel does not want. They made it very clear. They were very frustrated.
Israel was not even let in on the fact that there was a ceasefire deal that was imminent,
at least according to what they were saying.
Well, this shows that Donald Trump has to restrain Israel.
Otherwise, there is no real negotiation at all.
Yeah. I mean, the other thing that when when when you say that,
I think of is the fact that Israel is historically known for breaking ceasefire.
Yeah. At least we fire. Yes.
And so I'm not I'm not surprised.
and obviously the administration shouldn't be surprised.
It is hard to believe when you have the president's son in law
and his golfing buddy that they would
have any serious conversation in restraining Israel,
in holding them accountable, in prioritizing what might be beneficial for the American
people that Israel might object to. To me, I see those negotiations and I see them prioritizing
what Netanyahu might be interested in instead of prioritizing what might be in the best
interest of Americans and our assets that are in the region.
Yeah, what does that saying report on this? There's a term in the Mossad for people who
are not directly affiliated with the state of Israel, but are helpers. And the way that
they're referencing Wittkopf and Kushner inside of Israel now and inside of the Israeli
government is as helpers, sympathetic figures that are not exactly placing the priorities
of even saving face for America at this point ahead of what the larger Israeli goal is here.
So my question, I guess, is one, where do you see us going from here?
And will JD Vance be the brilliant diplomat who will bring about a ceasefire, a complete
cessation of hostilities. And what could Congress do to limit the powers of this administration?
Yeah, I mean, I don't think JD is going to be successful in whatever success he claims. It's
most likely not his.
It is not surprising that the president
agreed to this 10-point deal that the Iranians submitted
after they rejected the 10-point deal that we'd offered to them.
And that 10-point deal that he accepted
was one that was already on the table two weeks
prior to when it was accepted.
And so I can just see them probably
accepting something exactly like what we have right now.
And then doing what they've been doing and say the state of her moose is open
or soon be open, even though it still remains closed.
And the Iranians are now charging any vessel that comes through to a million
dollars that they weren't charging before.
I can see, you know, as soon as he announces some sort of plan or a deal,
Natinia who going on TV and saying he knows nothing about it and there's not going to be anything that stops them
Which he is accustomed
To doing you know, he did that to blink in every single time blink and wet
And and try to beg them to agree to some deal
So I can see the United States continuing to get humiliated
I can see you know, Natinia who continuing to lose it and I
I believe we will find ourselves in the same position in few months.
How do you feel?
I know. And what can Congress do?
Obviously, we are being pushing for a war powers resolution.
We weren't able to get it done before Congress went on on its recess for us
to go to our districts.
Do you feel like I was deliberate?
like the timing of that was rather strange. No, it was deliberate, but not in the way that you think
we were short members. We had a member whose father passed away who couldn't be available to take
a vote. We had another member whose wife was having a surgery. You know, life happens,
right? Obviously, we're members of Congress, but we also have families. We also have lives
that, you know, sometimes that emergency things happen. And so we were short just on the dem
side for members, I believe. And I do believe that when we get there next week or Tuesday,
that hopefully all of these members are able to come back and that we're able to get,
I expect probably one or two on the Republican side that might be ready to say, yes, we have
to check the power that the president thinks he has and we have to reclaim our congressional
power.
Okay. How would you rate the current statements coming from the leadership of the party and
just like some of the presidential hopefuls even, as far as how they've communicated
thus far?
I saw from, for example, Chris Murphy was this attitude about how Donald Trump had failed on
all fronts, which is true. But it almost came across as though he was agitating for more war,
rather than using the diplomatic route as the alternative to what Donald Trump was doing. It
It almost felt like there was a demand for more war and more destruction to continue
fighting in Iran.
What do you, do you feel like the Democrats are sufficiently criticizing the Trump administration
on its war with Iran?
I don't, because this has to be a war that you oppose on principle, not on the logistics
of the way that it's carried out, or whether it is too soon, whether you don't have enough
information.
The principle should be we shouldn't start a war with another country.
And we haven't been attacked, there's no bombs that have dropped on U.S. soil, none
of our allies have been attacked by Iran.
There isn't an actual threat that Iran has post that is imminent.
And so the idea that we can go to this war
and then you would have Democrats who
are supposed to be on the opposition litigating
on the tactics of the war.
And instead of just saying this is wrong,
it is morally wrong, this is a choice of war,
that we had no business being in this war,
We have no business in spending the billions of dollars we've spent on this war.
There is no business in us subjecting our service members to the level of danger.
We have subjected them to and there is no business in having Americans die on a war that wasn't necessary or morally just.
Yeah, it's the process argument. Yeah, it's disgusting. The argument that is most commonly utilized by people who want to make it seem like they are against the actions but are understanding of the overall goals.
Yeah, this is one of the things that I've found to be very frustrating with the way that a lot of
Electeds communicate on this issue. They did this with Venezuela as well, or they'll say oh, well, Maduro is a brutal tyrant
I just didn't like the way that Donald Trump kidnapped him and
But that's the whole point like Donald Trump is the guy who breaks things but he gets the job done
So if you're agreeing with the fact that like his overall goal was correct in that instance
that you're not actually sufficiently countering the things that Trump is doing.
Then you don't really have a disagreement at all. And the process, the process argument
seems the exact same. How much of that is because, by your estimation, how much of that is because
they truly agree with going to war with Iran, but also are happy that it was Trump that did
it so that now they know that they don't have to be anchored by that decision.
Now it's not around their neck, it's something that they can tie to the Trump administration
to win out marginal electoral victories.
And how much of that is actually because they are genuinely afraid of coming across
like they're not war hawks because they think this will look like the vote to refuse
to go to war with Afghanistan?
I mean, I think the latter, right?
There is a huge
part of the
DC built way that is constantly
putting the dove and the hawk
against one another, right?
Which one are you?
And I believe that gets rid of any sort of moral clarity or principle or just even the articulation
of an ideology that looks at the way we should interact with the rest of the world.
And that's why you get reactions that are almost always not that far from the thing that
that they are trying to condemn, right?
It's almost like, I condone,
but I just condemn the way in which you did it, right?
I condone, but I condemn the way
in which you've stated that sentence.
Yeah.
And I do think that a lot of these people
in Washington, DC, don't spend a lot of time thinking
about these issues.
There isn't a huge debate on where people's moral center
is when it comes to national security or when it comes to
international affairs or foreign policy, it's often like,
okay, here's the starting point. Who's saying this and who's
doing this? And then how can I squeeze myself somewhere in
between? We have this concept of the sandwich. It's like a
political speak in Washington. That's what a lot of the
consultants will say to you, um, and it's like where you're, you know, you, you, you start
with saying like, you know, I, I survived war and, you know, like something, something about
the actual like policy that you want to grab and then say, you know, I don't really want
to see these things, but sometimes bad things happen.
Right.
Like, so it's just like you didn't really say anything.
Yeah.
That's the safe way in which these people try to tell people to speak
because no one really wants to ever be on the full record.
And that's why, like, oftentimes when Trump just says the thing that is on his mind,
people are just like, oh, you're not supposed to speak like that.
You're not supposed to do that.
Like, to me, it's not the way he's speaking.
To me, it's the problem in what he is saying.
Yeah.
And it's not taking offense in what awful language he uses, but it's taking offense in this
ideology that he's expressing in this policy view, that he's expressing in the way in which
he sees the world and how he wants America to function when it comes to other people.
And what you just identified about Trump's speech patterns and the way he communicates,
I think, is precisely the reason why a lot of Americans find him to be genuine.
Because there is an honesty in the way he talks, even if he is objectively being dishonest
in most of those circumstances, there is a directness to his speech.
It's much more deliberate.
And I think the way that a lot of politicians communicate, especially those who've been
around D.C. for quite a while, they come across as inauthentic.
And I've been trying to get this across as many Democrats I possibly can to stand
on their moral convictions and to be bold and to be brave in an effort to change the
way that people perceive the broader national Democratic Party. However, I don't think I've
seen many electeds do that, with the exception of obviously yourself, or should it to leave,
and some others, is there any way to get Democrats to change this? Because instead of listening
to that, or instead of even like clearly communicating their anger and resentment, clearly communicating
the resentment that the voters feel, not just Democrats either, but independents and
even some Republicans as well, Democrats, at least some Democrats have spent the last
couple of weeks yelling about me instead. And there's this weird
elite.
Priorities.
Yeah, there's a weird allegiance that's taking shape right now
in front of our eyes that I find very fascinating where it's
the RNC and it's the Republican Party coming up with clips
that they can materialize that they can like push out
through like New York Post and all these other like right
wing dish rags, and then Jewish insider and the ADL and Third Way and all these other
no labels, another one, will then take that message to more pliant Democrats that are
centrist Democrats or backed by certain corporations or have these same big donors and they will
get these Democrats to basically say whatever these groups want them to say.
Why do you think that's happening? Do you think it's because there's a massive sea change and
they refuse to reckon with that and instead want to distract people away from that? Or is this a
way to potentially bully the base without actually calling out their own voters by
identifying someone that they perceive to be, you know, vulgar enough to be able to
attack, what do you what do you think is going on there? I mean one, they all have
the same donor base. Yeah. Right. And so, you know, the people that they're
spending most of their time, you know, in their breakfast meetings or their
receptions, like these are the same people, whether it's, you know, the, these reporters
that you're talking about, and the orgs that like fund their reporting or whoever owns them,
to the people who are funding third way or, you know, the democratic establishment are
the same as who funds the Republican establishment, a lot of them have, you know, similar, you
similar donors. But I would also say that, you know, you have a big name. And so for a lot of these people, it's a clickbait. You know, I joke sometimes that the New York Post has a quota of the number of articles they have to write on me in order for there to be enough clicks for for them to generate the resources that they need because there's no other way to explain
writing the same, you know, stuff that's just like over and over and over again.
Yeah. And and so, yes, shit like that.
It's it's it's like these are all the same kind of people
on that they will always go after the few that are on on the left
who have enough of a following that they can try to take down.
are those that don't care? I mean, I think like there's, you know, there's people who will try to
explain or capitulate and do all kinds of stuff. And then there is, you know, the people who are
like you and I, and it's like, okay, keep writing your garbage. I'm who I am, and I don't really
care. So that's what I was going to say. So Congressman Randy find the most repulsive figure
in American politics in a long list of repulsive monsters. Let's be real.
probably takes the cake, he said foreigners should not be able to serve in Congress. That's
why I've introduced disqualifying dual loyalty act. If you're a citizen of another country,
you shouldn't serve this one. Get out. Rainey fine, of course.
I wonder if he had an opinion when we had a man show up who chairs the foreign affairs
committee in an IDF uniform. Yeah, that was what I was going to say, or what he thinks
we should think about the fact that he has Israeli flag in his office, which is why
and outside of his office.
That's why I said, buddy, you're getting deported to Israel as a joke, of course.
And then Laura Loomer got really upset and said, no, he's not because he's a U.S. citizen
dummy, but it didn't end there.
Yeah, I true.
And we all are U.S. citizens.
Yeah.
He also, yeah.
He also basically started crying saying, I was born in the United States.
My parents were born in the United States.
So the thing that I want to get across to Democrats that pay attention to the
sort of stuff, is that when you actually use even a fraction of the cruelty back at these
people that are not only communicating in an incredibly cruel manner, but also advancing
incredibly toxic policies, incredibly violent policies, trafficking in horrifying amounts
of racist vitriol, they start crying.
They immediately start crying.
They get on the defense.
And I wish that more, I wish that more Democrats would be maybe not as aggressive as I am, but
more bold in terms of retaliating against some of these monsters, because like it demonstrably,
it demonstrably works.
Yeah.
I said, look how quickly these demonic racist Republicans cry when you retaliate with a
fracture of the cruelty, they spit on the daily basis.
This is why I always prefer a vulgar person who fights these monsters than someone who
be civil with them and he immediately replied he has my he has notifications on for me apparently
calling me a jihadist uh and then i said you're jihadist against stairs and sleep apnea you dumb
bitch and he said deport don't laugh don't laugh you're not you're not allowed to laugh oh no but
but um i think like no he's probably one of the whiniest people i know um and he's yeah he's
obviously very repulsive. And it just it makes sense like rumor and him, you know, these are people
who who got bullied. These are people who've led really sad lives. These are people who desperately
want attention and to be liked. And it's just it's it's sad that this is their way of getting the
the attention and admiration that they think they deserve.
advance of it to advance an ideology like a repulsive toxic ideology because I
think it's like trying to win favors with a bunch of losers I think JD Vance does
that more yeah JD Vance is like so desperate to to get the attention and
admiration of grippers that he'll like you know sell his wife a short yeah he'll
he'll be like oh I I wish my Indian wife wasn't going to hell but she is and
hopefully one day I can convert to the Christianity like those are the type
the types of things that he says, which I think demonstrably make him look weak in the eyes of people.
Right. I mean, my hope is that his Indian wife, who should know how to put on an eyeliner, helps him figure out how to better apply his eyeliner.
That's my only hope for his Indian wife.
Yeah.
A lot of us, a lot of us who culturally wear eyeliners could help you.
Uh, here's, uh, the very same Randy fine, uh, talking about Zoram, I'm Donnie.
Have you met Zoram?
I've met Zoram many times.
Do you like him?
I do.
Okay, good.
All right.
I'm just checking.
Cause if you didn't like him, I was going to, I was going to text him right now.
Be like, it's over.
You're done.
You're done.
I'm done with you.
I know.
I just, you know, Americans as a whole, when they tell you what, what is this?
Why did they have to smile upside down?
Yeah.
I just how do you take an offense to that man's smile? What is wrong with these people? I mean, it is racism
They're just like so unbelievably racist
They believe
Believe them we're in this situation in New York if people said oh, he really won't be that bad
Well, he's doing exactly what he told people that he would do
My beliefs are on Mondani lied when he applied for citizenship. I think he was affiliated in supported groups
you're not allowed to if you want to be a citizen of the United States.
And I think he should be denaturalized and deported as a result.
I mean, these guys have obsessed with trying to denaturalize and deport people
like that's like his number one thing.
You know, the the the one thing that offends me the most
is when you have lawmakers make demands like that on TV
that they know or at least could find out.
Whether what they are demanding or trying to legislate or even advocating for is
Constitutionally doable. Yeah, this man should know there is no way
That they are denaturalizing and deporting
Mamdani or me or any of the people that they're constantly telling their base
They're going to do that and it's just it's so embarrassing that they say that
And that and what is even more embarrassing is that their base?
it's not smart enough to know that they're being lied to.
Yeah, I mean, some of them I think are elated
at the prospect of like having someone to bully
like a vulnerable population or marginalized community member
to attack over and over again.
Sometimes it feels like they're desperate for a person
to look down at rather than demand change
that would improve their lives.
but my pathetic way to live.
Yeah, astronauts are coming out.
Okay, here we go.
They're pulling out the astronauts.
Is this a crew chat?
I can't tell what they look like.
Is this them?
shout out San Diego. What is this? Do you know about the pilot Artemis being
based? NASA Artemis 2 pilot Victor Glover listens to Whitey on the moon every
Monday. This is why. This is mission control Houston. Behind me a fairly raucous scene as
hundreds of flight controllers have poured into the flight control. No, they're about to pull them out. This is
reminiscent of the scene after the final shuttle mission of STS-135 although
Well that was the end of a program.
This is only the beginning of a program with the textbook splashdown of integrity in its
four astronauts.
We're standing by for the crew to be extracted from the spacecraft.
Entry flight director Rick Henfling invited all of these flight controllers who have
contributed to this mission to enter the flight control room to have an opportunity
to receive well wishes and to share the mutual glow that exists in the wake of a textbook
mission for integrity on the front spring here on mission control, a sign that says welcome
home integrity, taking humanity back to the moon going further and returning safely to
Earth.
So all of that jubilation, part of the post-splashdown activities, even as we await the crew
being extracted from the vehicle to be hoisted onto Navy helicopters for the trip back to the
USS John P. Murphock. I think they have to depressurize something because they're in special
suits and whatnot. That's why they're in the... Okay, I see. So while we wait on that, there
is something I have to show you. Okay. And I hope you don't get upset with me. Oh no.
Okay, so I have a soundboard.
Okay.
And, you know, I have...
Ah!
Somebody's already laughing.
Oh, damn.
Stuff like this on my soundboard.
But one of the sounds I use the most commonly is this one.
May Allah awaken the people and help them to see
the evil doings of Israel and the United States.
Ah!
Have you ever seen every I'm sure you're familiar with the video you've seen the video
you've seen the video at his rallies. Yes. Was that was that the Lion King sound? No,
no, it's a dune. Oh, okay. At least on all gay sound. Okay. So I feel like I this was
a major fake controversy manufactured outrage that took place many, many years ago when Donald
Trump would go on rallies and say that and basically put your face up on the Megatron,
you know, on the big televisions, basically putting a bounty out on your head.
And they'd chant like send her back. Yeah. You have received a tremendous amount of racial
animus racial vitriol come your direction and yet you were very resilient you were very steadfast in
your approach it's you know one of the reasons why we we love you and appreciate what you've done
do you do you like how do you feel now that this is the official majority position
not only in the base of the party but just like the majority position in the United States of
America, do you ever did you ever think that we would get here?
Um, no, I didn't think we would get here.
And I don't I don't know if I feel confident that we will stay here.
Oh, really? Yeah.
And I say that because I don't know if you remember
in 20 the 2020 presidential election, you had all of these people
that pulled out of going to the APAC conference.
Do you remember this?
I think so. Yeah.
And and I remember like the the articles would reference me.
A lot of people would call me.
There were like a lot of op eds that were like, oh, I should feel vindicated.
You know, APAC had targeted her this many years with all of these slurs.
And, you know, she should be very happy that, you know,
Democrat presidential hopefuls are doing this.
And that was very short lived.
So my hope is that I celebrate after it actually materializes into something and not take that
victory lap until we actually see, you know, that $3.8 billion to Israel be canceled until
we see, you know, impunity at the United Nations and in the international courts.
until we see a presidential candidate or a president telling them no you cannot
attack your neighbors you cannot go to war whenever you want you can't continue
to kill innocent people you can't rape prisoners you can't put children in
detention centers indefinitely until we get that kind of rhetoric or those
kind of actions, I will, you know, I will continue to hold that line as one of the only people that
actually believes that that should be the litmus test. Yeah. Yeah. So you're, I agree with you,
by the way, obviously, I just, I just look at the small victories in terms of like awareness
moving in the direction of truth and justice, and the small victories of even like the new
litmus as being no defensive weapons like not a dime spent on defensive weapons either because I
think that that expands the permission structure quite a bit and so I think that that gives people
like ourselves more room to openly communicate like one thing that I always used to think about
was the change that happened in 2021. If you remember in the month of April in 2021
Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Betsellem, and all of the other international...
That's when we got the apartheid report.
Yeah, all of the other international organizations, humanitarian rights organizations,
openly admitted that Israel was an apartheid state. Now, it already was long before then,
as Nelson Mandela also pointed out way back when. However, that gave...
And that's GQ2, yeah.
Yeah, and yeah, exactly. But that gave more of a standing for a lot of anti-Zionists to be able
to say, look, like this is the truth. And now all of these other institutions are also saying it.
And I think that was, you know, slowly but surely brick by brick, that was part of the reason
why I think people started becoming more receptive to that message. And now it's,
It's the job is obviously not complete, but I would say that as far as like broad awareness
initiatives goes from this day forward, I don't see people's attitude towards Israel
shifting in the positive direction ever again.
Yeah, but you still have a huge cohort of members of Congress that will capitulate
to the interests of Israel, to the protection of Israel, to labeling everybody who criticizes
the government of Israel, to being some sort of hateful person. It's interesting that you
brought that you mentioned that report when it came out, Rashida and I decided to go on the
House floor and read it into the congressional record. And Rashida at the time didn't think
anybody would join us. But we got about a dozen members who came. But that came with
you know them trying to censure Rashida. And it came with yeah and it came with them fighting
to get me off the foreign affairs committee. And you know fortunately people didn't Democrats
didn't vote to kick me off the foreign affairs committee, but you know, unfortunately, a
lot of Democrats did vote to censure Rashida. And so that's why I say, you know, the public
has moved, but members of Congress on both parties have not fully moved. And it will
take, I think, couple of cycles for the American people to say, I want people who
represents our interest. I want people who will carry a principle of justice, of integrity,
of honesty, and of accountability. And, you know, until then, it's kind of like, yes,
we still have a lot of work to do. We can't celebrate yet.
So you said a couple of cycles. So that means that even if there was like a big sweep
of, you know, anti-Zeneca scans, which by the way, many of which I'm in support
I'm in support of all of them. They're currently being attacked for affiliations with me even,
and that's kind of what I wanted to get at, which is that there is definitely a battle brewing
internally. There's a battle brewing in American politics in general, but certainly within the
ranks of the Democratic Party where I think those who demonstrate the moral courage are
being aggressively pursued and being cast aside to in order to maintain this complete reversal
of the 90-10 issue because it's almost 1090 on the elected side where there's only a handful
of representatives and senators. Oh yeah, that's true. All right, this is the last thing I was
I was going to say, there's only a handful of representatives
and senators who actually do represent the moral center
of American politics on this issue.
So the reason that it is a 90-10 with the American people
and it is 10-90 with members of Congress, the politicians,
the elected folks. Actually, it has more to do, yes, of course, it's always about money
and who funds you and where you get your resources, but it also has a lot to do with who's doing
the reporting. It has a lot to do with who has the ability to make the issue that is
a 90-10, a 10-90 issue. When you have a Miri Abradas, as you were just saying, use your
support of Abdul in Michigan, who is an incredible candidate and would make an incredible senator
with integrity, make that a problem? Is that because everybody who is writing about it
is in that 1090 space, right?
Because the big issue, the big controversy should be his opponent's records.
Yeah, it should be, you know, what his opponent said.
It should be about the interest in identifying some of these issues.
Yes, but it should be about how they're like in secret chats, right?
You know, capitulating and saying, I don't want to publicly say anything.
But after the election, I will do a B and C.
That that should be the problem.
The problem shouldn't be the the streamer who understands where the base is
Who's coming from a place of integrity and honesty and supporting a candidate that really fits that?
90-10 issue the exact way that it should because if we are to have a representative democracy
The people have to represent the interest of those that they are seeking to govern. Yeah
Yeah, absolutely.
But I do think that it's a very different environment.
It's a very different media environment now
with so many independent outlets, myself included.
And also, perhaps even more importantly than that,
at least from my experience going all around the country,
going to know King's protest and going to Minneapolis
and seeing the people there, seeing
such a diverse group of individuals
from all different walks of life, resist against the Trump administration, it's made me believe
that people do want change.
The electability argument for the longest time, I think, for a lot of Democrats who
vote in the primaries, the party loyalists, was around the notion that we have to pivot
and we have to find the most electable Democrat, who's the most electable Democrat,
the most moderate Democrat.
Who's the most electable Democrat?
The one that actually finds like a reasonable center on this Israel problem, right, instead
of saying something that could be potentially considered controversial.
I don't think they want that anymore.
I think Bernie Sanders, at least for the people that I talk to, a lot of older white
suburban college-educated liberals over the age of 60 will openly and readily admit to
me that they voted for Hillary Clinton, they hated Bernie Sanders, they voted for Kamala
Harris, they voted for Joe Biden, they were excited about Joe Biden, they hated Bernie
Sanders again.
But after the second defeat against Donald Trump, they realized like perhaps they were
lied to about the electability argument and perhaps Bernie Sanders was a far more
electable candidate.
So I think that is going to reflect, that's going to be apparent in the primaries even
though obviously this is a tough battle regardless because of tens of millions of dollars of big
donors that will do everything they can to attack left-land candidates.
But I think we do have a real opportunity to make some significant changes and build
a real left caucus in the party and hopefully maybe even bully some other Democrats into
coming on board with positions that they previously would never have the moral courage to openly
fight for.
I mean, I think the American people will lack anybody that showed up.
I think if we were to learn anything from, you know, Trump being elected as president
is that there is no such thing as who is electable. It's about who will show up, talk to the American
people and gain their support. And so, you know, let's let's go.
All right. You know, Mar, thank you so much for coming on. What what do you want to shout
out, promote anything? How can we help you?
Well, I'm up for reelection, obviously. So, you know, you could go to my handles
on social media and, you know, donate support in any way, uplift.
Okay. Yeah. I'll be there. I'll do a rally for you if you want.
I would love that. I would love that.
You'll get a lot of media coverage. You'll be like, the dangerous...
I mean, I represent one of the youngest districts in Congress and they would love you so...
Oh yeah. No, I've been in your history. They're definitely fans. Lots of hospitality
has there. But yeah, thank you so much for coming on.
Of course.
All right. And ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to end the broadcast here because
I have to go do something. I'm doing a panel on the voice of Henry Job that's being shown
in Los Angeles. So that's what I'm going to go do. And let me play the outro, but I'll see you
tomorrow as always. Once again, thank you, Hanomar, so much for all your work and also
for coming on the broadcast. It's a real honor to have you here. And bye, everybody.
Bye bye.
