The last new golden boy Twitch streamer doesn't even try to hide it.
Thirty-four-year-old Hassan Piker not only hates America, he's tempting it a civil war.
A noted far-left influencer is declaring the Republican Party the biggest terrorist on earth.
Brecht Diven, Hassan Piker, is unapologetic for his controversial comments on a range of issues.
An anti-American far-left commentator who is named Hassan Piker.
Now that he's being highlighted, Democrats are flocking to him.
She's not out there on Hassan Piker's show, right? For example, right?
The man to his left is a very controversial guy.
Hassan Piker insults just about everyone where if you go back and listen to some of the things that he says, Carl, this guy's not going to wear a well.
Their so-called Joe Logan of the Left, Hassan Piker, is back in the headlines this time for calling Republicans terrorists.
Piker has a controversial history and we've been showing you this all week.
You don't get somebody like Hassan Piker this kind of attention, this kind of platform.
It only rewards the kind of rhetoric that I just described.
Hundreds of students lined up and packed into these rallies and they ate up the anti-war anti-capitalist and anti-establishment messages.
That's him, Miss Sompiker. They should stay away from him.
What's going on everybody? I hope everyone's having a fantastic evening, afternoon, pre-noon, no matter where you are in the world.
I'm Miss Sompiker, and this is Austin. I'm Brackus coming to you live from sunny California last year.
We're live and alive and I hope all the boys girls and MPs are having a fantastic one because today's a beautiful day today's a wonderful day today
Is a Monday that's right ladies and gentlemen folks. It's Monday Monday
New intro morning boss, man. You already know what it is
We're live. We're alive. It's Monday, April 20th or 20 blaze it or 20 blaze it ladies and gentlemen
Um, we're live, we're alive and I hope everyone's having a fantastic one because today's a beautiful day. Today's a wonderful day. It is 68 degrees and sunny here in California, Los Angeles on stolen Tongva land. We're coming to you live.
I'm going to I'm in a pretty decent mood. I just got done filming another episode of your
own podcast. We had the bank one for next week, even though you're watching the last
episode of the fear and podcast, which we filmed the other day. And that's the reason
why I'm late. This is the part of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal news about
what's going on in the world of a son of a piker in between the time period where
I pressed the stop-streaming button and pressed the start streaming button. So help me God. That's what I'm gonna do
You already know
You already know what it is a
Lot's going on in the world, but in my life as far as personal news goes. I'm a chud ass loser
So there is not much happening. I got a decent amount of rest
I ended the broadcast at like five hours and 30 minutes or something like that yesterday or six hours
I'm not even entirely sure and
And you might have been asking yourself what the hell is that about what the hell what the heliante what the hell is going on?
I've been more tired lately. I don't know what it is but
You know, I downloaded this video game and I know a lot of people wanted me to play the video game
But I never ended up playing the video game and every ended up talking about the strokes
at Coachella because I'm an old man. I'm an old-ass man, and I'm a fat-ass chud and
And yeah, you're getting old, I know everyone always says that is true.
So what did I do last night?
I hung out with Austin and my dad.
We watched another episode of Neighbors.
That was fun.
But, but also, but also I watched an episode of beef.
Watched episode of beef the season 2 I hadn't watched season one, but a lot of people were saying it was really good
But I watched season 2 I started off season 2 is pretty good pretty good
Season 2 is ass wait really people are saying season 1 is really good. Okay. Well in any case
You're already yodding what the hell
Um, maybe I'll watch season one as well, bro.
Neighbors are so funny.
The Q and N horse guys literally Hank pecker.
Yeah.
There's a lot of guys like that.
There's a lot of guys like that on neighbors.
Um, I went to bed, woke up early.
You already know what it is.
Uh, lifted some weights, you know, got that out of my system.
Um, perhaps the reason why I'm, you know, finding myself more tired by the, by, um, the end of the, uh, broadcast is because I do wake up quite early.
I wake up at like 530 and then I go and, uh, work out in the morning.
And then after I work out in the morning,
I end up doing a podcast in the morning as well.
And I'm trying to download all this information
into my mind, doing 24 seven politics.
There's probably good reasons for it, right?
There's good reasons for it.
Jetlight catching up, maybe it's all the work catching up.
This has been, thank you, Drukel.
I have the blast off memes.
There is just, there has been a lot of news, you know, there's been a lot of news, how
do you search your soldiers and shit for push days, bench, etc. I have a lot of activation
workouts that I that I that I engage in before I before I lift anyway you still
working out often yes very very often you got still a calm valley trying to
monitor the situation like you Lamal what do you mean you have to step up
your mustache game like this man? Oh my god. A Turkish official has become a social media
sensation or Hanab Jigit gained fame after news of his appointment as head of the district
branch of the Huzur party. However, people ended up discussing not so much the appointment
itself as his photo. There's a face on his mustache users joke. I've never seen anything
like it. That's an unbelievable mustache man. That is comical. Let's be real.
Why don't you have a workout pig daily anymore? It's because I'm not working out at the
at my friend's backyard anymore and I don't want to like place a camera in a public gym
and like take creep shots of myself and possibly others while I'm working out. So that's
you know, that's part of it. Yeah, he looks like you just a little bit. Okay, thank you to Macius for the playlist.
But yeah, we're out here. We're live. We're live. As someone who works in news reporting, I get it. I feel drained every day.
every day. Yeah, um, I'm a soldier. But yeah, that's it. That's all. Are you not friends
anymore? Wait, what? No, no, dude. We were adults, dude. We're adults. There's PT Jim.
I'm pretty sure the owner would be fine if you record yourself. Thanks, Chatters.
you for giving me advice on which gym I should go to so I can keep recording my workouts so
that I can post them on Instagram. Thank you. Do you see Chris Rabb appreciate a slash clip
the shout out? I did. We're going to collab with Chris Rabb as well coming up. There's
There's a lot going on in the world. Trump campaign mentioned you.
Team Trump said, Democrats in a primary Michigan is between a radical leftist aligned with
the Sompiker and a theater kid who thinks she has mic momentum. The entire bench is
cringe.
Okay, you can't on the one hand call me a terrorist and then on the other hand
be like he's cringe is one or the other. Am I scary? Am I dangerous radical or
are my cringe, you know, but, uh, any more college talks in the future? Uh, yeah, there's
plenty of stuff going on. All right. So you on that Trump radar, GGs. Yeah. It's going
to happen eventually. Um, let's be real. I mean, get ready for it. It's going to
happen at some point, but, you know, it's, it's, I don't know when it will happen, but
it will most likely happen. And when it does, I have my life will probably change for the
worse. Okay. Blasted off, ladies and gentlemen, $166 billion tariff refunds ceasefire to
and tomorrow. Hormone status is currently closed. Situation status is currently monitored.
Epstein's Fury Day 52, Prague modulator, get in now. You already know what's up. Let's,
you know, none of the frills. We're just going right into it. We're going right the
frick into it, folks. Trump's true social post and his washed air are not going to
hit the same. Yeah, that's true. WAPO investigated, Nick Fuentes is super chats. Yeah, I
solid smoke fucker makes just office super chats alone like hundreds of thousands of dollars
a month. It's pretty crazy. Um, it is kind of unbelievable how much money this guy makes.
Uh, but hey guys, it's fine. He's not a socialist. So, you know, I'm sure, uh, all of the, uh,
all of the quote unquote leftists who constantly yell at me, uh, will, uh, not have an issue
with this because you know, he's not a socialist and also he's funny. Uh, sometimes he
He says things that are funny where he like yells at
yells at Nazis in his audience and that's really funny for everybody and then they highlight that stuff
As someone tell me you were a misogynist yesterday, so that was fun. Yeah, I
It sucks because like no one can be fucking objective or normal about the space that I occupy in this otherwise
unbelievably reactionary landscape
It makes you wonder what he does with that money, I can't tell how much he's actually
ideologically committed so I don't know, maybe he'd be backing PACs and stuff.
Silicon Valley MTS modernized situation, first time line native news network that's
always on monitoring tech, finance, geopolitics and culture as it happens we are live now.
Yeah, uh, encountered anti-communist European who hates you for stuff. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of those as well.
Do you see the diabolical lies, girlies that are up on you? Wait, no, who is the diabolical lies, girlies?
Um, are we talking with a planter mandatory military service thing what I didn't even hear
about that?
Why do you save all your phone for fear and then make sure he's boring as a ASL do okay
buddy.
Um, this is the meat and the potatoes.
Okay, that's the dessert.
Oh, you don't mean Platinum, you mean Palantir. I was like, what? Grand Platinum said that
there needs to be a mandatory draft. I was like, that's crazy. Yes, I saw the idea of
smashing the figurine of Jesus, which is of course, once again, crazier in its reception.
The story in and of itself is that like, that is getting more of a negative reception
than the idea of literally killing Christian Lebanese people or just Shia Lebanese people
It was just Lebanese people in general, or Palestinian people, or, or blowing up mosques,
blowing up, uh, blowing up churches.
I mean, they've done it all.
And it's crazy that like the only thing that, uh, people are fresher to buy, oh my God.
Wait, what?
Trump says he's not controlled by Israel.
This is, I didn't see this one.
And if Iran's new leaders regime change are smart Israel never talked me into the war with Iran the results of October 7th
Added to my lifelong opinion that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon did I watch every the fake news planets and polls and total disbelief
90% of what they say are lies and made up stories in the polls are rigged just as much as the 2020 election was rigged
Just like the results in Venezuela, which the media doesn't like talking about the results in Iran will be amazing
And if Iran's new leaders regime change are smart Iran can have a great and prosperous future. Oh my god
God, he is, he is in his washed era. He's chopped. He's chopped and he's on also, you know, good
luck, uh, convincing people that Israel doesn't control you. Okay. Or your cabinet, uh, after
you literally came out of the gate, swinging with the Israel is the reason why we had
to bomb Iran. It's not going to happen. You know what I mean? Oh my God. And he
He keeps writing these long ass fucking, long ass fucking, uh, uh, uh, uh, long ass truth
poll, truth, social posts.
He's so fucking washed dude.
He's washed as hell.
Did you see the super pro Israel comment by the democratic leader on New York 12 on
the I've had a podcast?
Um, no, but we're going to start with Iran.
Threads the retaliator after the U S military sees the Iranian cargo ship.
We're going to get into all of that and we'll look at the, the Trump response
and more, but I gotta pee real quick.
This video provided by the U.S. military appears to show
Marines seizing an Iranian cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz,
a first in this war.
We have learned more U.S. forces are headed to the region,
including an additional aircraft carrier.
And Iran now says it never agreed to a second round
in negotiations despite claims by President Trump.
Charlie Daggett has been following every twist of Tel Aviv,
from Tel Aviv on this story.
Charlie, good morning. There's a lot of twists and turns in the story.
More to come, I'm sure. Good morning.
Good morning, Gail. More to come. Now, with the clock running down on that,
ceasefire tensions are only cranking up.
Iran shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, opening fire on passing oil tankers,
and U.S. officials I spoke with this morning say the crew of that Iranian
ship just ignored warnings after six hours standoff.
First, the U.S. Navy destroyer warns the crew of the Iranian cargo ship TOSCA.
Motor vessel TOSCA, motor vessel TOSCA, vacate your engine room, vacate your engine room.
We're prepared to subject you to a sailing fire.
Several rounds are fired toward the vessel.
Later, under the cover of darkness, U.S. Marines launch a helicopter raid,
repelling onto the deck of the strickenship, which is now in U.S. custody. Central command said
while more than two dozen commercial vessels have been turned back. This is the first seizure since
the U.S. blockade was imposed last week. U.S. officials said the TOSCA headed toward Iran
failed to comply with orders despite six hours of warnings.
It's so funny to celebrate being the military force and the naval force that's supposed
to keep all of these waterways open.
And then to turn around and do this and then, you know, let it be like, yeah, we're pirates
now.
If Iran can do it, why can't we?
It's cool, I guess, like we've just decided we're America is in its fucking stage.
Okay. America has decided to, you know, take a different approach nowadays, where it's
like, yeah, whatever. Yeah, we've decided we're going to fuck around. Okay. Hopefully
we don't ever find out. But, you know, it's very mask off lately.
Iran has threatened to retaliate the most serious threat yet to the fragile ceasefire that expires this week.
While the U.S. military presence in the region continues to grow, officials tell CBS News the U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford,
which has now undergone the longest aircraft carrier deployment since the Vietnam War,
has rejoined the fight, transiting the Suez Canal to the Red Sea.
More than 50,000 US troops and the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier remain in this region and more are on the way.
A third carrier, the George H.W. Bush, is due to arrive by the end of the month
to be joined by thousands more Marines sailing from the Asia Pacific region.
This morning Iranian officials described the capture of that merchant vessel as a hijacking
and an act of piracy. Now, we know that ship had been identified under US sanctions, but
it's not exactly clear what it was carrying. Matt, Charlie, thank you. Now to the latest
on those peace talks.
I love watching CBS, CBS News, Israel's favorite news broadcasts. Like their coverage on this
is somehow even worse than CNN. This is obviously the post-Elasen purchase CBS News. CNN pre-Elasen
purchase is is doing its very best to also broadcast as many pro-israel positions as possible
yeah i mean what do you say what do you say what can you say about everything that's going on
the the idea that a double blockade is actually somehow going to open up the iranian blockade
which the Iranian side said would actually release in good faith, specifically so they could continue
along in the ceasefire process, only to have Donald Trump decide, no, actually, we're blockading extra
hard. I don't know. I just, I don't know what to say about it. What can you say about it?
It's art of the deal, baby.
That's where we're at.
It costs $8 million a day to move a fucking carrier group in these clowns.
Think that we're going to intimidate Iran by doubling down.
Yeah.
I mean, Iran is obviously gearing up.
It seems for a war posture.
Um, and you can tell that they're doing that because the American side has
decided to claim that there is a lot of instability on the Iranian side,
side, which is not the case. The Tasman news agency said, you know, oh, your, your stupid
tweets are not going to change anything. And then the American analysts were like,
dude, they're dunking on a bus Iraq sheet. And it was like, no, they were dunking on
Trump. That's another thing that I've seen where people are trying to claim that there's
a lot of like conflict and instability internally on the Iranian side. And I think at the
the end of the day, the guys who are pulling the trigger are the ones who are in control
of the show.
So we're expecting as soon as today, the Trump administration announced the meeting would
take place in Islamabad, Pakistan.
But Iran says that's not happening.
Nicole Killian is at the White House.
Nicole, good morning.
Now the talks are on, then they're off, the Strait of Hormuz is open, then perhaps
closed.
So can you help us sort this out?
Hey, good morning to you Matt.
really hard to tell exactly where things stand. Given these new tensions, right now the U.S.
and Iran can't seem to agree if new negotiations are actually taking place and that is casting
greater uncertainty over what could happen as a fragile ceasefire is about to expire within days.
Sources tell CBS News Vice President J.D. Vance is expected to lead the delegation
President Trump is dispatching to new talks in Pakistan. But so far, Iran says it isn't
ready to commit, citing Washington's excessive demands, constant shifts in stance, and an
ongoing naval blockade, according to Iranian state media.
The President's
I mean, look, I can't speak for the rest of the world, but like obviously the American
government's assessment here is going to be pro-America and they're basically going
to shift the blame over to Iran, even though Iran has been the stable partner,
reliable partner in this ceasefire process. They've been a lot more invested in maintaining
some semblance of stability and also following the escalation ladder as America and Israel
keep going up the escalation ladder, opening up civilian targets and all this stuff. I know
it sounds ridiculous to hear, but, and especially if you are, especially if you've seen a lifetime
of like pro America sentiment and that Iran is like dangerous and a malignant actor, you're,
you're going to hear me say that and go, that's an insane statement, right?
But it's not an insane statement. It's just the truth. And the reality of the
matter is, if we had more honest global leaders, they would say the truth, like this is why
yesterday I brought up the fact that like Russia could be considered a rogue actor for
sure, like a rogue state that doesn't abide by the same standards, but America and Israel
are on a totally different level when it comes to being a rogue state, a rogue actor.
They have been unbelievably belligerent.
They are so destructive, not just destructive towards loss of life, targeting civilian infrastructure,
but also destructive as far as international human rights goes.
They violated with regular frequency all of the rules of war, all of the standards that
were previously placed created by the United States of America in large part have been
violated here where the attitude is, might makes right. It's the law of the jungle. Whoever
gets to enact the maximum amount of damage gets to do so with no pushback whatsoever.
That is the American assessment here. That's the American standard here. And now Iran has
shown that it has the capacity, Iran has shown that it has the capacity to fight back. And
that has kind of ruined the might makes right politics of the United States of America.
Because when you have a country that's crazy enough to actually withstand tremendous attacks
from the United States of America and willing to commit to creating a military deterrence,
well, we see the results, right? It's complete chaos, complete instability. And now, now America
is the party that is forced to be restrained, which they refuse to do so. I mean, the host
said that the talks failed because of criteria according to Iran, not that you've given
a state of yourself, not that you don't do that.
to escalate, to de-escalate.
On Face the Nation, U.N. Ambassador Michael Waltz said if Iran doesn't make a deal,
the president is prepared to follow through on his renewed threat to knock out
every single power plant and every single bridge in Iran.
Trump added, no more Mr. Nice Guy.
Anybody who has dealt with the Iranians will tell you it is often
two steps forward, three steps back.
With the ceasefire due to expire this week, both the U.S. and Iran
It's really funny. Everything that we say about Iran is actually about us, right? Like,
if we're looking at the situation seriously, conducting sober analysis, it's so obvious
that we are the belligerent party here. And we just keep saying, we just consistently project
the things that we are doing on to our foreign adversaries. It's very, very interesting. Like,
oh, you can't deal with these guys. They're mad men. They're insane. And it's funny to do that
while the news coverage, like the anchor literally reads, Donald Trump said he's going to blow up
all the bridges and all the power plants. And then boom, you go to the American envoy who's
like, yeah, Iran is crazy. They just take, you can't deal with them diplomatically. They're crazy.
It's like, well, you just described us being crazy. We're the crazy ones. We're the ones who
you can't really deal with. I mean, the whole point started, this whole conflict started because
there was already a negotiation. There was already a negotiation process. And instead
Instead of going through the negotiation process, we decided to use the negotiation process to
start bombing Iran with a decapitation strike and blowing up, double-tapping a school with
little schoolgirls going to it in Minnaab.
It's just, we are a malignant force in the world.
Chether of breaking the agreement by blocking the Strait of Hormuz.
despite both sides declaring Friday that it was completely open.
Iran's new supreme leader who hasn't been seen publicly since the start of the war
warned in a weekend statement that Iran is ready to, quote,
make its enemies taste the bitterness of new defeat.
At home, Democrats are demanding a quick end to the conflict.
The president launched us into this war, and now he really doesn't know how to get out of it.
The president's energy secretary previously pledged gas prices would fall below three dollars
within three weeks. Now he says it could take a lot longer. That could happen
later this year. That might not happen till next year. According to your
triple A, the average price for it is just crazy because like this is the
only thing that America is give a shit about to like. Like all the all the
instability that we're causing around the world.
All of the death and destruction, none of that matters as much as like how much more an American is paying at the pump, you know?
I mean, I guess, I guess you take it wherever you can, right?
I guess this is, if this is a radicalizing moment for the average American, you use that to your advantage, you explain to them that like it goes beyond this, you know?
You know, foreign policy is interconnected with domestic policy.
What you don't have here is because of what we're wasting over there.
You know, this is a, this is an argument that you can present to people,
um, and should present to people.
I just, uh, you know, it's crazy.
Like from the perspective of the average American,
All the stuff that Israel did in Gaza was, you know, it was bad. It was fucked up. Sure. Some people saw it
They were like, oh, that's gross. I don't even want to think about it, right?
But that was still happening over there. It was happening with our tax dollars. Some people paid attention to it
some people were frustrated
But the real reason as I always said the real reason why like a lot of Americans hate Israel now isn't just because
Israel was committing a genocide. The average American hates Israel because they were committing a genocide and being really fucking annoying about the whole thing.
that
Oh Jesus that was crazy
That that was wild em is real high. I apologize
I I apologize as always. Uh em is real high em is real high
That was Israel is a tiny nation size of New Jersey should be a larger should be the size of the tri-state in my opinion
It's too tiny. It should be larger
And Israel hi
Okay
Yeah, now I'm glad that we got that out of the way though that was good that's
Should be fine going forward. Hopefully inshallah
Okay
And yeah
All right, where were we where were we all right news
President Trump just told me with the phone that he disagrees to energy sector Chris
Right assessment that gas prices may not drop until next year
No, I think he's wrong on that totally wrong Trump said when I asked how soon we can expect to see price come down
Trump said as soon as this ends
Cool
When will it end? I don't know. Anyway, as I was saying, like, as I was saying, the only
thing Americans, the only thing that the average American cares about is how hard their wallets
are hurting is a consequence of this. And, you know, we take what we can get, I guess.
Gallon of regular is $4.04 up nearly a dollar since last year. Secretary Wright
He says he believes energy prices have peaked and will come down once the conflict ends.
Nate?
Nicole, thank you.
Yesterday afternoon, and the Iranian flag cargo Veseltoska apparently ignoring warnings
by Klaxon and then radio to stop from US Navy destroyer Spruance.
Motor Veseltoska, motor Veseltoska, vacate your engine room.
Vacate your engine room.
We are prepared to subject you to the same link fire.
The US Navy said this shows the destroyer firing three small munitions designed to stop Tuzka
and neither sinker nor setter ablaze.
They also released what they say is video of Marines from another ship absailing to the
deck of the Tuzka and seizing control of the vessel.
Moscow had left port in Malaysia bound for Iran, attacked, immobilized, boarded, impounded
on approach to the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump said the ship tried to get past our naval blockade.
It did not go well for them.
But what now?
That's a question being asked ever more loudly of this war.
Another rally in support of the regime in Tehran last night, Iran accusing America
of an act of piracy. Yeah, it was coming back. It was coming back. It wasn't even leaving the
Strait. We have not stopped. Okay, Iranian tanks, the most part are going to China. So we haven't
really stopped any of the Iranian tankers that have crossed the Shada Hormuz, a couple have,
in the shadow fleet. We haven't really stopped those because those are going to China,
and that would be a direct, I guess, a direct military intervention against Chinese interests.
And we don't really have the, we don't really have the smoke for that. But this one was coming back.
Okay.
For firing on and seizing the ship, it will be avenged, they said.
And those peace talks in Pakistan?
Well, the security cordon is in place in Islamabad.
The Americans said they were going yesterday, then didn't, because Iran says there's
nothing to talk about, accusing the US of making unrealistic demands and contradictory
threats.
As of now, as I'm speaking to you, we have no plan for the next round of negotiations.
No decision has been taken in this regard.
Last time out, Vance, Wicov, Kushner and Ting got precisely nothing in Islamabad.
Tonight, Trump said they're heading back for round two.
Iran is said to be looking positively at the latest.
Yeah, so this is also a little bit inconsistent. America says
they're sending their envoys. Whereas Iran says they're not.
Iran has stated, at least like the last time I checked in, before
I went to do the podcast, Iran was like, we're not sending
our envoys because you haven't shown.
You haven't shown good faith and
What's interesting about this of course is that the ceasefire was a two-week process and it's supposed to end tomorrow
Also, yes JD did say in Islamabad this is the final and best offer which obviously
Goes again. Like I mean it shows it shows America's hand once again
For Iran though they want the
The American blockade to end and they thought that the American blockade would end so the fact that the American naval assets are still limiting
transit
Implies that America is not abiding by what Iran thought was going to be good faith
initiatives
There's there's already very little trust between the Iranian parties and the American side for understandable reasons
I mean this is what?
The third time that the Trump administration Trump directly has like fucked them over
The first was when he first came into office destroyed the JCPOA
Added additional sanctions on the Iran even though Iran was following
The negotiation in spite of the fact that Donald Trump said JCPOA is over
The second time was obviously
Leading up to the 12-day war where Donald Trump said, oh, let's get to the negotiations
And then in the negotiations process
Yes, Trump used the negotiations to start the first strike that Israel committed to.
And then the last instance of perfidy, of course, was 52 days ago, Operation Epic Fortnight,
the start of Operation Epic Fortnight.
This was when Iran had conceded to many of the maximalist demands that America was making
as far as what to do with the enriched uranium and all the stuff.
So I mean, it's understandable that they would be a little bit reluctant to engage America
in the negotiations process.
But I guess they're going back to Islamabad.
The American team is going back to Islamabad, and they're just going to talk to Pakistan.
And then Pakistan will relay the information to Iran.
As far as I understand, Iran is not going to show up to this, but that might change.
It's a deal, but they're still not yet ready for the boarding passes to Pakistan.
Once again, the Americans look like the ones in a hurry.
And Pakistan looks like the one doing a lot of the spade work, its Interior Minister
meeting and being seen to meet ambassadors from the US and Iran today to try somehow
and get Islamabad 2 on the road.
So if today should prove to be the eve of talks, what of the commanders who have now unleashed
war upon Gaza, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon and Iran?
Both today, somehow smarting, Trump on social media berating his current abysmal poll ratings,
dismissing it all as fake news, lies.
Netanyahu speaking on Israel's Remembrance Day, claiming humanity's moral high ground.
But the world already recognizes our determination to defend ourselves.
Not only to defend ourselves, but to defend humanity from barbaric fanaticism, small Israel
and our great friend the United States carry the entire Western civilization on their shoulders.

Alex Thompson there.
Well, the US President insisted again on social media today that the Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu did not talk him into the war with Iran.
Our US editor Anushka Astana is in Washington, Anushka.
You know, for a moment we thought that Donald Trump was having a quiet day.
He's certainly not speaking in public today, but as usual, his frustrations have bubbled
over into a stream of social media posts and through them, we can really see what is bothering
him.
The first, what you just mentioned, that critique he's getting actually from the left and right,
the idea that Israel talked him into this war.
He insists that's not true, that this is...
It's, uh, you know, that's a little difficult to, to, that is going to be a little difficult
for Donald Trump to deny at this point, right?
I mean, Benjamin Nityau, Mike Johnson, Donald Trump himself, Marco Rubio, virtually every
Democrat that was in the gang of eight meetings, pretty much everyone from the start
was like, Oh my God, you're doing this because Benjamin Netanyahu convinced you, Lindsey
Graham openly admitted that it was Israel that that gave him the talking points that he could use
with Donald Trump. Don't don't know why they were so excited to reveal this information.
Now that I look back at it actually 52 days in, I think they all including Israel legitimately
believed that the Israeli intelligence was solid was reliable that like they would be able to do
a quick in-and-out Venezuela style regime change operation and that Iran would never
attack the GC nations. Iran would never actually close the trade of hormones. Iran would never
have enough striking capabilities to continue pummeling Israel and the GC nations and do
a tremendous amount of damage to not just the global energy markets, but also to all of these
countries in this neighborhood. And I guess that's the reason why they were so forthcoming
about how you know Israel gave us this awesome info and we would of course we're
gonna go in and where'd you go fuck shit up like it's just it kind of feels like
it kind of feels like they were so forthcoming because they thought that
this would not be a 52-day quagmire at this point with no end in sight they
must have assumed that this would be a very fast operation that Iran is very
week, right? The CIA director and joint chiefs allegedly said the Mossad intelligence dog
shit, but Trump went with it anyway, according to that leak story. Yes. I mean, this has
been a common thing. This has been a common theme with Israel. Israel greatly overestimates
the might of its espionage capabilities, the might of its intelligence. Maybe they're
even aware of its shortcomings and yet they make it seem as though they're just
like super capable. This is a common problem in the intelligence community. This is something
that they, that people yell about all the time. So that's not, that's not surprising
to me. What's surprising to me is that America was, was stupid enough to believe it. And,
and we're, we're so forthcoming about the fact that they got this information from
Israel and, and they were goaded into doing this for Israel. Like that, that part is
actually pretty crazy. I assume, thinking about it now, I assume the reason why they
were so open about it early on was because they thought they were going to succeed fast
and easy rapid in and out campaign. Regardless of what the general said would be the worst
possible scenario which we're living currently, regardless of what the American intelligence
assessment was, which was that it would be the worst possible scenario which we're living
through currently. It must have been that it must have been Trump's assessment that
this will be fast and easy and good and and everyone will celebrate it and they'll
cherish him as the guy who finally ended this 47-year regime, right? It has to be that, otherwise
it makes no sense to just come out of the gates, swinging about how Israel goaded me,
the president of the United States of America, into engaging in this
unbelievably stupid first strike. Something he has wanted to address for his entire life.
the second one is the critique that he may end up with a deal that is no better or even worse
than the one that Barack Obama got in 2015 without a war. Again, Donald Trump says absolutely not
true. The third is about the timing of all of this. He's put out a post in which he's talking
about World War One lasting over four years, World War Two over six years, suggesting that it
hasn't been that long here. And he is also really frustrated with the overall narrative. He's
hitting out at the media. He's even hitting out at the polling saying that polling is rigged.
And I think there are two types of polling that will be bothering him. There's global polling,
public first in recent days, put out something that's suggested in Canada, in the UK, in Germany,
in France. The public are more likely to say their country should depend on China over the
US under Donald Trump, but also here in the US domestic polling shows two thirds of Americans
blame Donald Trump for the rise in petrol prices.
So is it panic stations in the White House?
Oh, I think they are pretty worried about it.
You know, Donald Trump is talking about winning in Iran,
but they're worrying about whether or not they can win in Congress
in the midterms that are coming up.
And there is a belief that petrol gas prices are absolutely critical
to how the Republicans can do.
Politico are reporting that Donald Trump's chief of staff,
Susie Wiles is holed up in a Washington hotel with Republican strategists trying to discuss
how they can get the messaging right about all of this. And for all the president says
that he's not worried about all of this, it is pretty clear that he is and there is some
confusion at the moment about what is happening in terms of the delegation, the US delegation
going to Pakistan. He said they'd already gone. We're now told by sources that
they're going to go soon.
Anushka, thanks very much. Well, earlier I spoke to Hamid Reza Azizi, an expert on Iranian
security and former lecturer at the University of Tehran. I began by asking him if he believes
the Iranians will show up to the talks that, as we've been hearing, are due to begin in
Pakistan tomorrow.
Well, the problem for the Iranian leadership is that they are caught between Iraq and
the hard place in the sense that Donald Trump seems convinced that, you know, his coercive
diplomacy is going to work. The linear leaders also need to balance any signal of diplomacy
with their own support base inside the country, which is very ideologically oriented and
basically sees any sign of flexibility as a potential
capitulation.
I mean, you talk about President Trump's strategy
being coercive diplomacy.
Others talk about sort of flip-flopping
between threats and claiming victory, and then more threats.
But we've also seen what looks like some flip-flopping
by the Iranians themselves.
First of all, reopening the strata form moves,
then closing it again, saying earlier today they had.
This is how a negotiation works, okay?
If you get to the table to put together a ceasefire proposal and you abide by the agreement,
you set the standards, you give your points, the opposition gives their points,
and then you abide by those standards that were set forth.
And in order to show that you are following along in good faith,
You start easing some of these restrictions where the Iranian side for what I understand
I'm not entirely certain as to how
How much easing of the restrictions the Iranians were committed to whether it would be fully opening the Shreda Hormuz or whether it be
allowing
the the
ships to cross through on the on the preordained route
Led by the IRGC Navy
or just like complete transiting of all ships through the straight.
I'm not entirely certain on which of those two things was going to be the case.
But regardless, like Iran said that they were going to ease the restrictions on the
straight of Hormuz. And then America was, from what I understand,
also going to no longer have the second block right outside the straight,
the naval block that they've implemented. America on the other hand did not do that.
Donald Trump literally said, Iran capitulated to everything we wanted.
They suck their weak pussies, their cowards. Also, we're not letting any of those ships
go through regardless. Here we took over an Iranian cargo ship that was going back into Iran
and and of course like if that's the case then yeah that's not a flip-flop that's just the Iranian
side going okay well I guess we're not opening the Shredda Hormuz then. If you're not going to
abide by your side of the deal then we're not gonna we're not gonna just give you everything
he wanted that's not how diplomacy works especially when you have that leverage
especially when you have that upper hand, you have to, once again, show that you have the upper hand.
It doesn't make any sense. And most analysts that I have seen,
from Danny Citrinowitz to Sina Tusi to Trita Parsey, most of the analysts, regardless of whether
they agree with one another ideologically or not, doesn't matter, have said it's because Donald
Trump, and this is the singular unifying factor in all of the analysis. Everyone keeps repeatedly
saying, Donald Trump mistakes any kind of negotiations as weakness. In his mind, in his mind, the
very fact that the opposition is coming to the ceasefire table, to the ceasefire negotiation
table implies they're weak, implies they've lost. That's not how this works. That's not how
any treaties are conducted historically. Sure, one side has an upper hand, absolutely.
But in this circumstance, if you look at the actual situation on the ground, if you look at
the realities on the ground, Iran has the leverage. And it's also something that the
American side understands. And they understand it so much that they were trying to set the
ceasefire deal up in Islamabad to begin with. It was the American side that was like actively
trying to get around to the table. And I was like, no, we're going to continue. We haven't
established sufficient military deterrence. So if you're doing that, then you're equipped
with the knowledge or at least someone in the American team is equipped with the knowledge
that in a game of attrition, Iran has the capacity to to wait out the United States of
America and wait out Israel because it can absorb a lot more economic damage than America
and capital interests can, because international capital needs stability, right? There's a
little bit of volatility where capital owners can make money, but too much volatility, too
much instability, and especially a closure of the Strait of Hormuz, all of a sudden,
nobody's making money, right? There's great instability all around the world.
For Iran, because they have been forcibly pushed out of the international marketplace,
Because they don't do regular trade, they are already used to this kind of volatile environment
and therefore are capable of absorbing a lot more economic damage than international capital
is.
That is leverage.
That's a significant upper hand that Iran has as opposed to the rest of the world here.
Right?
forced to exist in this environment due to the sanctions anyway.
So what every analyst is saying universally is that Trump, on the one hand, seemingly
understands that reality and therefore the American side has been actively begging
the Iranians to come back to the negotiations table.
But also on the other hand, the way that Trump communicates and the way that Trump
has final say, almost implies that any kind of agreement from the Iranian side, he treats
as a weakness.
There's an inconsistency here, and under normal circumstances, I would always try to find
the rationale behind why certain world leaders behave in certain ways, right?
But with Donald Trump, it's very difficult to identify exactly what the logical throughline
is because he's just a madman. You can look at previous trends, you can look at past performance
and try to map out what is truly going on. Like one of the things that we can identify
is whenever he says he's going to do terrorism, whenever he says he's going to blow up power
plants for example, that just means he's willing to do a negotiation, okay? That's,
At least that's what has happened thus far, okay?
As an agent of chaos, when he says,
oh, I'm gonna do the big bad,
I'm gonna do the genocide on Iran,
I'm gonna blow up all of your cultural landmarks,
that means he's like actually willing to de-escalate.
That's, it's the exact opposite.
At least that's how you can read it,
judging by past performance.
Danny Sotrino is a mistake to live under illusions,
agree with Sina Tusi.
Danny Citrinowitz from the Atlantic Council agreeing with a
senior fellow at CI Policy, by the way, very interesting time to be alive.
These two people are directly at odds with one another as it comes to, as it
pertains to foreign policy.
One is a non-interventionist, anti-interventionist think tank.
The other is a pro-liberal interventionist think tank.
So when you got both of these guys agreeing with one another and
own assessments understand that Trump has gotten so crazy that, you know, you just kind
of have to recognize that things are a little unstable.
Iran is more likely, Danny says, Iran is more likely to escalate than except a good deal
that forces concessions on missiles, enrichment, Hormuz, or its regional proxies.
The argument that a weakened Iran can be pushed into a favorable deal is flawed,
Even if weakened, Iran is more likely to escalate than surrender.
After weeks of sustained aerial pressure, it is already clear any large-scale military
campaign will dramatically worsen regional and global economic consequences without
forcing Iran to concede.
At its core, forcing Iran to give up its missile program or enrichment would amount
in Tehran's eyes to regime change that is precisely why the Iranian leadership
will resist it at all costs.
There are no easy solutions, either a deal broadly resembling the previous nuclear
agreement or escalation that leads not to resolution, but to a far more dangerous confrontation
attempts to imagine a good deal ignore both the structural constraints and the realities
we've seen unfold since the 28th of February.
In hindsight, it is clear that a policy which completely ignored the nature of Iran's
current leadership and relied primarily on wishful thinking has led us into a deeply
problematic strategic reality by ignoring the regime's ideological rigidity and decision-making
patterns, this approach replaced strategy with illusion and the results are now evident.
Yeah, this also goes back to, again, that inconsistency that we're seeing with the way that America
is moving and the way that America is talking.
On back channels, they're demanding that Iran get back to the ceasefire table to get
back the negotiations.
But Donald Trump, who has final say on these operations, is behaving as though there
There is no need for negotiations, right?
And we hear some of the more insane versions of this whenever he goes on TV where he says
like, we've destroyed the Iranian Navy, we've destroyed the Iranian military, Iran doesn't
exist anymore, we've cratered Iran, their missile cities are gone.
But then we look at observable reality and it's obviously very different, right?
Now there's been a ceasefire for the past two weeks, so you can't tell, I guess,
or maybe we forgot.
But up until that ceasefire, Iran was pummeling the GCC and also Israel.
So clearly, we had not attritted their striking capabilities.
We had not destroyed nearly enough TELs, which are replaceable and easy to fix.
And not only that, but perhaps more importantly, we had not established full-blown aerial
superiority over the Iranian airspace. And the observable reality there is by looking
at the weapons that America was using, we deployed and expended a tremendous number
of our standoff munitions, which are missiles that you use from afar, rather than the unguided
or guided gravity bombs that you normally would use, which we have virtually infinite
supply of not infinite but you know close to infinite supply of as opposed to the
standoff munitions we're not using those because those are dropped from airplanes
and if you haven't established air superiority if you haven't created a
no-fly zone over Iranian airspace in the way that Trump is claiming yeah air
air superiority, yes, but not air supremacy, sure. But even if there was air superiority,
you wouldn't have had so many planes fall out of the sky, right? That's just the reality.
It would be easier for American flights to conduct their missions without having to
withstand anti-air defense systems. And it's very clear that Iran still has denial capabilities
anti-air defense systems. And that's precisely the reason why there was a search and rescue
mission that took place, right? I mean, that's because they dropped an F-15 over Iranian airspace.
They dropped a warthog in the process as well. Like there's, they still have capabilities
defending the Iranian airspace. So once again, you don't just listen to what the American
side is saying, you have to look at what the American side is doing. So, by ignoring the
regime's ideological rigidity, it's time to fundamentally rethink our assumptions and
strategy towards Iran before the situation deteriorates even further, instead of weakening the regime
and reshaping the Middle East for the better, the opposite has occurred. It has been significantly
strengthened, especially amongst its core supporters. As a result, the region now risks
moving into a more dangerous direction with a more radical and more assertive Iran at
its center.
And the only think tank it seems that still operates inside of Washington that has
the president's ear, unfortunately, is the Benjamin Netanyahu think tank foundation for
defending democracy, FDD, and they're the only guys who are like, ah, things are going
great, actually. We should just be extra hard. We should do more of the strikes. We should
continue waging war against Iran. We shouldn't stop until Iran is destroyed. And everybody
else is like, no, you're a fucking idiot. This is an unbelievable catastrophe. It has
greatly diminished American force projection capabilities around the globe. It has made
our footing with our allies, not just in the region, but certainly outside of the region,
in the Asia region, for example, Asia Pacific region, far worse. It is causing everyone
to recalculate American security cooperation agreements.
We're losing our standing with our Western allies in NATO.
We're losing our standard standing with the Asia Pacific allies.
We've frustrated everyone, both because of the economic damage that they have to withstand,
the energy crisis that they're currently going through.
As Donald Trump keeps saying over and over again, it's not our problem.
It's your problem, even though he caused the problem to begin with.
It's a spectacular defeat.
Hard to see how the violent spike in inflation is shorting in East and South Asia brought
on by Trump's war on Iran doesn't eventually spike inflation and economic pain in the US
and Europe.
There's a delayed response here in the United States of America because all the commodities
that they make over there that they're not going to be able to make or make in a
much more costly manner is inevitably going to lead to inflation in the American markets
as well.
Okay?
Just as our oil that we receive from the Shredda Hormuz comes, you know, almost a month after everyone else receives it,
we have a delayed response here, a delayed impact on the inflationary crisis that we've brought about the rest of the world.
But it's going to happen.
And of course markets, as expected, are behaving in this unbelievably irrational manner,
matter because everyone is just holding on to the idea that as long as we all make it
seem like things are going to be fine, then eventually things will be fine and we'll keep
making money.
Many countries across the Asia Pacific are experiencing southern jolts of disruption that
they are struggling to manage with some comparing the crisis breakdowns to the scope of the
COVID pandemic.
Even if there's a peace deal soon, the future of this industrious region that
The driven global economic growth for decades will likely include months of canceled flights,
surging food prices, factory pauses, delayed shipment, and empty shelves for products
long considered quick and easy to buy worldwide.
Plastic bags, instant noodles, vaccines, syringes, lipstick, microchips, and sportswear.
Collectively, according to many officials and experts, if the war's strangling of
commercial traffic through the Middle East lasts for even a few more weeks and uncertainty
lingers, shortages could push several countries into convulsions of unrest followed by recession.

So they see it immediately. We see it in a delayed manner. Okay?
Because this touches everything the international the the international trade

Interwoven everything is interconnected. So
You might assume oh, we're in America
How does this impact does we don't get our oil from the sugar hormones even though we do but it's like, you know minor
It still has downstream consequences on
Increasing the price of goods that you purchase a
A lot of people don't understand that for some weird reason. We act as though, we assume that like we're totally operating with a different industrial base. We are not.
The entire world is getting their goods, especially the Western world. They're getting their goods from the Asia Pacific region, right?
That's where all of the things that we consume and things that we purchase, things that we use are being produced.
So if they don't get their oil, if they don't get their gas from the Shreya
Hormuz, which is where they get their oil and gas from, then they can't produce
things. If they can't produce things, you can't have the components necessary for
production even happening in the Western world. Or you can't get the
commodities in the Western world at all. If the price goes up, then your
price goes up, because everything is interconnected. Americans have a very
very hard time comprehending this reality for some weird reason.
This is precisely the reason why the stranglehold that Iran has over the Shroud of Hormuz is
so devastating and will have long-term reverberations, long-term global consequences, and they've
already begun.
No plans to join the talks, and in the last hour or so, saying they're positively
thinking about it.
What's happening here on their side?
I think these two are kind of related to each other and there's a kind of vicious circle
created by the decisions on one side that impacts the kind of strategic moves on the
other side.
But some of the contradictory messages, some people would say coming out from the Iranians
themselves.
The question is, is that a strategy or isn't it true that there are clearly different
factions fighting for control here?
So I don't see it as a sign of infighting but as I said as a sign of a regime under pressure
that it impacts, it restricts its flexibility and room for manoeuvring and also leads to
this contradiction. So contradictions do exist but the way they should be interpreted
I think it's a bit different than how it is recently.
We have to focus on community and shopping locally if we're going to make it through this, buddy.
Buddy, I need you to understand something, okay?
There is no local community support if certain things that you have taken for granted that
you utilize in your day to day lives, like, I mean syringes, right?
Like they were just bringing up syringes.
Like what do you do?
You can't locally source syringes, right?
But that's not a thing that happens. That's not something you can do. If syringes are being made in a factory in India, and now that factory in India doesn't have the necessary resources to keep up with the output, all of a sudden syringes are going to be infinitely more costly, right?
Places are not going to be able to purchase them. It's just not a thing that you can overcome through the local barter process.
Right? Yeah, nitrogen for fertilizers transported through the Hormuz. Just go to the local fertilizer
producer in my town, bro. It doesn't work like that, right? And America already doesn't have
the manufacturing base, regardless. Even cotton too, my job emailed us saying that the price
of organic cotton yarn went up 7 to 10% over the last week and it was already
expensive with the previous terrace. We already took our prices up to compensate,
but might have to do more.
You are very wrong.
All my favorite pistachios, coffee beans and jalapeno poppers are made locally in the American,
in my American suburban backyard.
Surely none of this will be affected.
Yeah.
We here in the United States take for granted this global design, this global trade design
that we have implemented and have benefited from tremendously, but we don't understand
that all of this is a very fragile system, okay?
It's all unbelievably fragile, and for the longest time, as long as America was the
only disruptive force and was choosing its enemies wisely, even if it was an enemy
that could fight back like the Vietnamese. It was somewhat sheltered from the rest of
the somewhat, did not have the capacity to disrupt global trade in the same meaningful
fashion as Iran is able to by controlling the Shreddo Hormuz. It was fine, right? Afghanistan.
It was fine overall. It wasn't fine for the Afghan population. It wasn't fine for
the Iraqi population, but it was fine for the rest of the world, right? America came
to Iraq, for example, and immediately secured the ministry of energy, right? That was the first
thing that we did. Why did we do that? Well, because Iraq is an oil producer and we wanted
to make sure that there was, you know, that the assets were protected.
So, this is a different situation because you can't, the damage, the impact, is always going to be global.
It's not just a localized impact.
There is localized impact as well, but the long-term consequences will be global.
And America still very much operates in the global trade design.
And therefore, we will absolutely experience long-term shocks as a consequence of this.
Discussed in the mainstream discussions actually.
And in terms of what all of this means, should these talks go ahead for the chance of a lasting peace? What's your assessment?
I think there should be some sort of a pay-saving offer.
If you know, I can imagine that if President Trump, for example, decides to even temporally
remove this Mabel blockade or say that it's not going to be imposed as strictly as it was
at least in the past 48 hours, confiscating Iranian ships, if that happens, that would
give some room for manual to the Iranian delegation to go there, because as I said,
They also need a deal, you know, just to give you some statistics, two million people have
lost their jobs as a result of this war directly or indirectly.
The other day, this spokesperson of the Iranian government said that the cost of reconstructing
the country after the war is something around $270 billion.
So this is what they need, and they certainly don't want to go back to war.
But coercive diplomacy seems not to be working because of the parallels that would pose to
the regime from inside.
Hamid Rehzaizi, thank you very much for talking to us.
Thank you.
It was a pleasure.
In July 2024, Secretary Blinken claimed Iran was one or two weeks away from having enough
fissile material breakout capacity to eventually make a weapon if Iran had decided.
Yeah. Democrats, man, for years and years, we kept up this ridiculous lie that Iran was
days away from having nuclear arms that Iran was a very dangerous, unstable actor in this
region. It was, you should read that regardless of who's saying it as Israeli propaganda,
that's precisely what it was. The only actor in this region that Iran was a real genuine
threat to was Israel. And that's precisely why Israel kept repeatedly saying this over
and over again. And that's why a lot of our Israel first politicians also kept repeatedly
saying this over and over again. And that's precisely the reason why a lot of the Democrats
after spending the last 30, 40 years repeating this ridiculous lie are kind of having a hard
time communicating exactly why they oppose what Donald Trump is doing, right?
We've been gearing up for this moment.
We've been at least doing propaganda for this exact moment for the longest time.
do so. There were indirect negotiations that the Biden administration did, but it went nowhere.
So when President Trump argues that he did, when no other president would, is it just
simply that the bill was coming due and it fell on his watch?
I do think there's a certain element to that. And that's-
This is Amos Hoxstein, okay? Amos Hoxstein, served in the IDF by the way, was the
advisor to the former president, president Joe Biden, um, alongside Brett McGurk, almost
Hoxden, once again, served in the IDF was formative in, in, uh, Biden's middle Eastern, uh, design.
He was one of the key architects of Biden's bear hug strategy and, and unlimited support
for the nation state of Israel as Israel was doing a genocide. Okay. Just so you understand,
It was two key guys, Amos Hochstein and Brett McGurk.
So the question being presented is being presented to Amos Hochstein.
So he's a good guy.
Yeah, the best guy.
No, he's not a good guy.
These guys are unbelievably evil, okay?
They're bloodthirsty warmongers.
The partisans have been pointing to Trump's war for weeks to chide us on Piker and anyone
else they blame, read everyone but themselves for losing in 2024, but it turns out the
Biden-Ammett was planning to attack Iran if they won a second term.
There were indirect negotiations that the Biden administration did, but it went nowhere.
So when President Trump argues that he did when no other president would, is it just
simply that the bill was coming due and it fell on his watch?
I do think there's a certain element to that.
And that's why I was supportive of President Trump joining it in June.
Yeah, so was Brett.
So was Brett McGurk.
If you remember, Brett McGurk went on CNN and was like, this is awesome, the 12-day
war.
During the 12-day war, Brett McGurk would go on CNN every day and be like, oh, this
is so sick.
actually trained for this exact same situation when Biden was president. If you recall, I
covered it at the time, okay? Brett McGurk would go on CNN every single day and say,
we trained for this. We should get a little bit of the credit too. What a beautiful site.
To take the strikes that we had thought internally in the Biden administration, we may have to
take, if there was a second term, we thought that this spring summer of 2025 was probably,
We may have to be there in the same place and we did, we did war games.
We did some practice runs on what it would look like to look into it.
And because that may have had to happen under our watch as well.
But we, he said we obliterated their nuclear program.
The question then is not about what he did in June.
This war we were in now, why, why did we have to do this at all?
Why does no one in the media go, I don't understand.
Why do we have to do this?
Who is this a threat to?
Don't you feel like the current predicament is a far graver threat to the rest of the world
than anything prior to our military intervention here at the best of Israel?
It's just totally ridiculous.
No one ever asked that question, like, why are we attacking Iran?
That's never the question.
The question is, how are we attacking Iran?
Why haven't we been able to destroy Iran?
How long will it take to destroy Iran?
No one ever asks, why are we attacking Iran?
What are we doing?
Why are we attacking Iran when the only time, if the nukes are a real threat, okay, if
the nukes are a real threat, if it's a significant threat, the Iran has nuclear arms, which
by the way, I don't think it would be a threat at all.
I think it would be, the region would be more stable if Iran had nukes.
I am totally in agreement with Professor Mersheimer, who advanced this theory, right?
Some may say it's the Hassanabi nuclear sovereignty doctrine.
Sure, that's fine.
But outside of that, you can ask the question, why are we fighting against Iran?
If we are worried about Iran developing nuclear arms, then the only successful attempts at
restraining Iran's nuclear ambitions was during the JCPOA.
So it's clear that diplomacy is the only successful method here.
So why should we be attacking Iran?
Why have we attacked Iran?
Donald Trump ripped apart the JCPOA, and Iran went back to enriching uranium beyond civilian
usage. Clearly, they've done so to maintain some kind of leverage against the sanctions
that we have implemented. That is a demand for negotiation. That's not a demand for
war. That's not a genuine interest in developing nuclear arms. That's just leverage. Leverage
to bring the United States back to the negotiations process?
Did not attack the nuclear facilities again.
This was not about the nuclear.
So the question now becomes, can you do a deal with the Iranians?
And the maximalist positions that both sides have are right now very far apart, despite
the rhetoric that we're almost there or we are there, but if we're not there, we'll bomb
the hell out of them.
Yeah.
In July, too.
Everyone's saying like, oh, this is different.
It's totally different.
Trump is so irresponsible.
Failed to consider that plenty of former Biden administration figures that were unbelievably
pro-Israel and more certainly Israel first.
McGurk and Hockstein are two key figures here are saying we would do the same thing as well.
As a matter of fact, we were training for this exact moment and they've said that over
and over again.
Anyway, getting back to Donald Trump, effort posting through this process, the deal that
we're making with Iran will be far better than the JCPOA commonly referred to as the
Iran nuclear deal penned by Barack Hussein Obama and Sleep Adjo Biden.
One of the worst deals ever made, having to do with the security of our country,
It was a guaranteed road to a nuclear weapon, which will not and cannot happen with the
deal we're working on.
One thing that's really funny about this is that Democrats don't even raise this point.
Because many Democrats that are in leadership roles, like Chuck Schumer, for example, were
directly opposed to the JCPOA at the time.
Because, come on, let's be real, again, Chuck Schumer cares about Israel a whole
lot more than he cares about the Democratic Party, his own constituents, American democracy, yada,
yada, yada. All of that is secondary. Okay? Don't take my word for it. Take Chucky Boy's own word
for it, right? He was in opposition to the GCPOA at the time. Okay? So that's part of the reason
why many of the Democrats in power don't bring up the fact that there was a successful deal that
was implemented that Donald Trump destroyed the JCPOA. Okay, because Israel didn't like the JCPOA.
Israel hated it so much that Benjamin Inou came to America. Okay, it was invited to speak in
front of Congress. Many Democrats didn't attend that speech, by the way, because it was a symbolic
speech to say, fuck you to Barack Obama, where he complained about Barack Obama in the halls of
Congress. Okay, he gave a state of the union as the real president of the United States of America
when Barack Obama was in the process of implementing the JCPOA. That is the level of
access and the hubris demonstrated by Israel. Many of you are probably oblivious to this reality
happened decades ago. You probably don't remember, you probably didn't know, but that has been the
case, okay? So if you're confused as to why many Democrats don't raise the point that there was a
successful implementation of a denuclearization agreement with Iran through not war but through
the negotiations process, it's because they too are pro-Israel. But what's interesting about it
is now Trump is bringing up the JCPOA, which will force the hand of Democrats to be oppositional
to Trump.
And now maybe they'll be forced.
Now they might be forced to bring up the JCPOA to say, hey, Barack Obama did actually see
a decent amount of success here, okay?
It was guaranteed road to a nuclear weapon which will not and cannot happen with the
deal we're working on.
gave $1.7 billion in green cash loaded onto a boy, uh, 757 and flown to Iran for the Iranian
leadership to spend. Anyway, they saw fit. He emptied out all the cash in the banks of DC,
Virginia, Maryland. Those bankers said they'd never seen anything like it before. In addition,
hundreds of billions of dollars was paid to Iran. If I did not terminate that deal,
nuclear weapons would have been used on Israel and all over the Middle East,
including our cherished US military bases. The fake news like lightweight Washington Post
Journalist David Ignatius loves to talk about the JCPOA, knowing that it was dangerous
interested in a complete embarrassment to our country if a deal happens under Trump,
it will guarantee peace, security, safety, not only for Israel and the Middle East, but
for Europe, America, and elsewhere, it will be something that the entire world will be
proud of instead of years of embarrassment and humiliation.
That we have been forced to suffer due to incompetent and cowardly leadership, President
Donald J. Trump.
Again, another funny part about this is that Donald Trump, as a part of the current
ceasefire negotiations that he begged Iran to conduct with the American admin, is releasing
$20 million, not $1.7 billion of green cash, but $20 billion, okay?
Joe Biden unfroze $6 billion, Barack Obama unfroze $1.7 billion, Donald Trump is slated
to unfreeze $20 billion.
Okay?
Now some of that is the Brandon inflation, okay?
Joe Brandon, he did inflation.
So it's really funny that Trump is trying to volunteer this information as though it
was bad.
And I'm sure a lot of his moronic fan base will eat this shit up.
But I wish more Democrats would communicate that this was a far better alternative.
Diplomacy was always a far better alternative to dealing with Iran than whatever the fuck
we're doing currently.
Gregor Bruce says, but if you want to see some clarity as to why the US gave Iran
1.7 billion in 2016 as a part of the JCPOA. He's a good explainer. The money was a part of the
pre-revolution agreement that was still lingering in arbitration. The reason it was such a large sum
was the accumulated interest. So he then follows this up with a second effort post. And you know
when our boy is writing these effort posts, know that he is suffering, okay?
Okay. He is constantly chirping about Iran now. He is constantly chirping about how Israel
doesn't own me. I don't, I'm not dominated by Israel. Don't say that. Don't say that
Benjamin Netanyahu dominates me. Don't you say it. I am not blackmailed. He said, oh
my God, how many fucking posts has he had? It's unbelievable. Trump compares war in a
round of World War II and calls Democrats traitors. We won't let the weak and pathetic
Democrats traitors, all belittledly accomplishes our military and the Trump administration.
Oh, he's doing the thing where he's like, Oh, you're not yelling at me. You're yelling
at our beautiful military. You must hate America. It doesn't really work when you're
Trump though. Okay. At this point, Trump saying you're not yelling at me. You're
yelling at our beautiful military. Oh, I bet, I bet you wouldn't say that to
my troops face is kind of like if Trump came out and was like, oh, you're not yelling at
me. You're yelling at the Pope, actually. You're not yelling at me. You're yelling at
all good Catholics at this point. I was simply highlighting the beauties of Catholicism.
Like everybody knows that you're a madman. Well, not everybody. 70% of the country knows
you're a fucking madman, okay? 30% think everything that you're saying is is great and awesome and
they believe it even if you contradict yourself in the same sentence as he does with regular frequency.
Trump says the Democrats are doing everything possible to hurt the very strong position we
are in with respect to Iran. Despite World War One lasting four years, three months and 14
days, World War II lasting six years and one day, the Korean War lasting three years and
one month and two days, the Vietnam War lasting 19 years, five months and 29 days, and Iraq
lasting eight years, eight months and 28 days.
They like to say that I promised six weeks to defeat Iran.
And actually from the military standpoint, it was far faster than that, but I'm not
going to let them rush the United States into making a deal that is not as good
as it could have been.
I read the fake news saying that I'm not, that I'm under pressure to make a deal.
This is not true.
Oh my God, this is so true.
At this point, at this point when Donald Trump claims something is not true, just know that
it's definitely true.
He is crashing the fuck out right now.
It is very funny.
I am under no pressure whatsoever, although it will all happen relatively quickly. Time
is not my adversary again, objectively false. In the game of attrition, Iran, every day
that passes by the straight of Hormuz remains closed is a day that Iran gains more leverage
and America loses more leverage, which is why the double blockade was very stupid.
The double blockade was unbelievably stupid for this reason, because the whole point
of the blockade is that it benefits Iran and it harms the interests of capital and therefore
harms America standing around the world.
The only thing that matters is that we finally, after 47 years, straighten out the mess that
other presidents let happen because they didn't have the courage or foresight to do
what had to be done with respect to Iran, we're in it and it will be done right and
we won't let the weak and pathetic Democrats, traders all who for years have been talking
about the dangers of Iran and that something has to be done, but now since I'm the one
doing it belittle the accomplishments of our military and the Trump administration, he
does kind of have a point there.
Democrats have, foolishly being the Israel first party that they are, just like the
Republicans, have for years said that Iran presents a constant danger, a constant threat.
If Democrats were saying the truth throughout that process, right now they would have
a stronger position.
still have a fairly strong position. They're not even leaning into it because they're fucking assholes, but
you know, that's besides the point. This is being perfectly executed on a scale of Venezuela,
just a bigger, more complex operation. He's going to hold on to the Venezuela operation till the
day he dies, man. He's like, he's just like Venezuela. All the haters and losers saying,
this is not like Venezuela. This is just like it. Okay. Except for the fact that it is
exactly the opposite. It has not been an easy in and out mission and that we didn't do regime change
almost overnight. That did not happen and also the international energy markets are collapsing
even though I try to hold it together by lying every day.
I did Venezuela. Remember Venezuela? It was so good. In my first term I built the greatest
military countries ever seen, including adding space force in my second term, I am properly
and judiciously using our military to solve problems left to us by other far less underst- um,
others with far less understanding or competence, make America great again, President Donald J. Trump.
Axios reports, he's over it.
it. Axios reports he's over it. Trump wants it done. He doesn't like Iran holding control
over the straight over the Middle East. He doesn't want to fight anymore, but he will
if he feels he has to. An administration official tells Axios.
Well, well, why did you begin it if you weren't capable of finishing it, you know?
I'm bored now.
It's lame.
It's woken gay.
I don't care about Iran no more.
Oh, wonderful stuff.
There's even more, by the way.
Another tweet has a third tweet has hit the timeline.
This one hitting the Pentagon, I guess.
Donald Trump says, I'm winning a war by a lot.
Things are going very well.
Our military has been amazing.
And if you read the fake news like the failing New York Times, the absolutely horrendous
and disgusting, the absolutely horrendous and disgusting Wall Street Journal or the
now almost defunct, fortunately, Washington Post, you would actually think we are
losing the war.
enemy is confused because they get the same media reports and yet they realize
their navy has been completely wiped out their air force is gone onto darker
runways they have no anti-missile or anti-airplane equipment their former
leaders are mostly gone in parentheses this has been in addition to everything
else regime change and perhaps most important of all the blockade which we
will not take off until there is a deal is absolutely destroying Iran they
They are losing $500 million a day.
An unsustainable number even in the short run.
The anti-America fake news media is rooting for Iran the win, but it's not going to happen
because I'm in charge.
Just like these unpatriotic people used every ounce of their limited strength to fight
me in the election, they continue to do so with Iran.
The result will be the same.
It already is President Donald J. Trump.
Wait, he has another one.
The Iranian leadership has forced hundreds of ships towards the United States, mostly
Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska to get their oil.
Thank you very much, President Donald J. Trump.
By the way, even just our burn rate as opposed to Iran, if we're taking what he's saying
seriously and like Iran is losing 500 million a day. We're losing 2 billion a day. And that's
just like our military expenditure. Okay. So no, I think meat for meat, you know, they're
doing a lot better. They're going ban for ban. Yeah, I like that Donald Trump's last
couple of posts has just been, don't tell anyone in the news, do not put it in the
newspaper that I am mad. Meanwhile, the US has suspended all funding in security coordination
with Iraq's government and suspended dollar shipments to Iraq's central banking system,
Al-Hadad. Our evil never goes away. We're also making Iraq, we're punishing the Iraqi population
for the successful militia movement in Iraq that has actively purged the national boundaries
of U.S. troops. So we're using whatever kind of leverage we have over Iraq.
Rokana said the thing that I've been saying. Thank God. Barack Obama did his homework. He
engaged in a citizenship that left America safer and built a coalition to prevent Iran
from having enriched uranium. All Trump did is listen in Netanyahu. That's his
entire foreign policy. And that is why Donald Trump posted this tantrum this morning claiming
Israel has no control over his decision-making because he was watching Maria Bartiromo.
And he was watching our boy, Ro Khanna, go on Maria Bartiromo and say the truth.
Because like if you are invested in ensuring that Iran never has a enriched uranium that's
capable of building a nuclear weapon, then Barack Obama did it.
I have many criticisms of Barack Obama, many, many criticisms of Barack Obama.
However, however, this was one of the things that he did right.
This in Cuba were the two major points of credit that I give Barack Obama all the
time as it pertains to his foreign policy.
Washington is a part of his fighting oligarchiture.
Senator Bernie Sanders heading to Ohio, Minnesota and Michigan for May 1st to May 3rd, where
he will hold a series of rounds with US Michigan, US Senate candidate, Dr. Abdul El Sayed, Minnesota
US candidate, Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan and US candidate, Brian Pointexter, a union
iron worker running in Ohio's seventh congressional district. Hell fucking yeah.
That's, that's going to be awesome. Oh my God. That's going to be so sick. Very
excited about that. Anyway, let's get back to morning, Joe. I have other stuff going on
in the same timeframe with other candidates. So I don't know if I'll be able to, if I'll
be able to go to any of those things. Maybe the Michigan one potentially who knows. Welcome
back. The Wall Street Journal is out with new reporting from behind the scenes at
the White House entitled, Despite his public bravado,
President Trump is grappling with his own fears
regarding Iran.
According to the journal, the operation
to extract two airmen whose jet was shot down over Iran
this month was followed by hours of the president screaming
at AIDS, quote, images of the 1979 Iranian hostage
crisis.
One of the biggest international policy failures
of a presidency in recent times
had been looming large in his mind.
The paper reports the president is dealing with his own fear
about ordering troops into harm's way.
Trump has resisted sending American soldiers
to take Karag Island, for example.
The launch point for 90% of Iran's oil exports.
This story is incredible, by the way.
That's why he was saying the Wall Street Journal is incredibly
corrupt, is the worst newspaper, all the shit.
because this Wall Street Journal piece is unbelievable.
I mean, I guess it's super believable if you are paying close attention to how Trump moves.
But this kind of like insight into what's going on behind the curtain has been very revealing.
And it's basically just complimentary information to the analysis that we've conducted here
on the Hassanabi broadcast.
It's just, you know, it's a spectacular fuck up and you see a panic Trump behind closed
doors.
Sports.
Well, he was told the morning Joe is the best news program on cable TV.
Okay, dude, calm the fuck down.
All right.
It's probably one of the worst.
We're not glazing morning Joe here.
We're glazing.
We're glazing the Wall Street Journal, which is also crazy.
and the territories captured given US access to the strait, he worried there would be unacceptably
high American casualties. Still, he has made risky pronouncements without input from his
national security team, including his post about plans to destroy the Iranian civilization
and saying seeming unstable could help spur the Iranians
to negotiate.
A president who thrives on drama is bringing
it an even more intense version of his unorthodox maximalist
approach to a new situation, fighting a war.
He is veering between belligerent and conciliatory
approaches and grappling behind the scenes
with just how badly things could go wrong.
Joining us now, the co-author of that piece, White House reporter for the Wall Street Journal,
Annie Linsky.
So, Annie, what else are you hearing about the president's feelings about this behind
the scenes?
It seems to match pretty well or track pretty well with the way Iran is responding, which
anybody with a sense of how things go with Iran is not surprised about.
Yeah, Micah, we, my colleague Josh Jossi and I set out to try to draw a portrait of the
president at war.
Donald Trump has had two president's sees, but he has never overseen a sustained military
campaign like this.
And while we, you know, as Americans have seen his very unique governing style in other
aspects of his presidency, legislating executive orders and the like, we've never witnessed
this type of sort of impulsive and his sort of desire to appear chaotic from wartime.
So that was what we were trying to show and the reporting target that we had for this piece.
I mean, there is, this is Nixon madman theory.
The problem with that, however, is when you match up against another madman, it kind of
fucks up your plans.
Like, he is definitely demented and it helps with the unique style of communication, okay?
you says fallen amen so here's the problem if you have an opponent that is
far weaker doesn't have any kind of like not nuclear arms but the functionally
the nuclear weapon of destroying 20% of the oil production and gas production
the entire world or at least like stopping the transit of 20% of the entire world's energy supply,
which is functionally the same as like being as disruptive as a nuke, right?
When you have an enemy that has that capability and they are exercising their power,
You kind of can't do the madman theory, right?
Because the madman theory only works when you're posturing about utilizing nuclear arms,
but if your enemy is also saying, like, yeah, we got nukes too, we'll use them, fuck you, you know?
Here's a tactical nuke. All of a sudden, that theory falls apart.
Do you think this kind of coverage means they're ready to liquidate them?
I don't think so.
Things I thought was really fascinating about your piece was how there seem to be two parallel
tracks happening that are not necessarily communicating with each other all the time
in the White House.
So you've got during the operation to try and rescue the airmen, you've got the security
people keeping Donald Trump away from the situation because they thought he might
make it more complicated. But then at the same time, you've also got the president on
his own track, launching the
The Nixonian madman theory was the way that Nixon communicated to appear more irrational,
willing to use nukes if necessary, in an effort to erode the confidence of his adversaries.
Oh, he's crazy tricky dick. He's a crazy guy. He's a madman. He could deploy nukes if necessary, right?
And and that's pretty much what Trump is also trying to do. I mean, he is very Nixon in many ways not just that
paranoid
willing to erode all norms and all rules
But
The problem here is, there was never a situation where the opposition also had nukes and were
entertaining the utilization of nukes.
In this circumstance, Iran's nukes are not actual nuclear arms, but a nuke on global
trade, which they have deployed.
Yeah.
Political theory commonly associated with the US foreign policy president Nixon and
his administration, who tried to make the leaders of hostile communist bloc countries
think Nixon was an irrational and volatile person so they would avoid provoking the US
in fear of an unpredictable response. The premise of madman theory is that the appearance
of irrationality makes otherwise non-credible threats seem credible. For instance, in an
era of mutually assured destruction, threats by a rational leader to escalate to a dispute
may seem suicidal and thus easily dismissible by adversaries. However, suicidal threats
may seem credible if the leader is believed to be irrational. International relations
scholars have been skeptical of madman theory as a strategy for success in course
of bargaining. Prominent madmen such as Nixon, Nikita Khrushchev, Saddam Hussein, Donald Trump,
and Muammar Gaddafi failed the win course of disputes. One difficulty is making others believe
you are genuinely a madman. Another difficulty is the inability of a madman to assure others that
they will not be punished. They yield to a particular demand. One study found that madman
theory is frequently counterproductive, but that it can be effective under certain conditions.
Another study found that there are both bargaining advantages and disadvantages to perceived
madness. Also, this only works if you're America. That's the other thing. Like you can't really,
you can't really behave in a rogue state manner if you are not America, because America wrote the
rules of the fucking, wrote the rules of the globe, right? But yes, of course, Donald Trump is also
deploying this technique as well. The problem is, again, you could have, I mean,
you did this to Soviet bloc countries, right? You did this to Soviet bloc countries to a certain
degree. But your capacity to escalate, your capacity to escalate, and your capacity to behave
in an irrational way, is only as powerful as your opposition's willingness to abide by those norms.
If your opposition, in this case Iran, has already shown their hand and has exercised
tremendous leverage over you, then it doesn't fucking matter. It doesn't matter.
And that's why when Trump says like, oh, we'll destroy the power plants in Iran,
We'll destroy the fucking bridges in Iran. That's a part of his like madman diplomacy diplomacy and air quotes
But that doesn't stop Iran from controlling the Shredda Hormuz if anything that would force Iran to destroy
the oil refineries in the region
The madman theory only works if the opposition is willing to both be a stable actor
and is invested in offering concessions
and doesn't have a serious upper hand.
Iran has a serious upper hand.
Iran has the leverage.
Socials about ending a civilization, for example,
or praise be to Allah on Easter morning,
without negotiation and clearing those posts
and going through the post with his national security team.
So how much, I mean, how much is it,
the president just launching things
and how much is it the national security team
actually running the operation in the White House?
Yeah, those tweets, or I should say those
trans-social posts that took so many people off guard
who woke up and read them about ending a civilization
saying praise be to Allah on Easter Sunday of all days.
Those were not tweets that he had even sort of chatted with his national security team
about.
They read them much the way we did after they were posted.
The president did ask his staff about those tweets and said, how are they playing?
What am I being criticized?
And his staff said, yes, sir, you are.
You're facing quite a bit of criticism for them.
Um, some of his members of his national security team read them and saw it weren't as alarmed
by them as many others were. They said, look, they felt that he was communicating the way
the Iranians do. The Iranians have for years said that's not how that is literally the opposite
of how Iranians communicate. Unless he means like praise be to Allah, they say that
No Iranians will always write deep prose like they'll be like they'll they'll slap on like like a
poetry from like the 13th century and then they'll be like this is a sura that we abide by like
the sort of Ali will fall upon those who disrupt the normal day normal existence whatever right
like they don't, Trump is just insane. They are, yeah, they're much more romantic with their
utilization of pros. They don't do this at all.
You have the roll up on stream for socialism. What does that even mean? Roll up on
stream for culture? Oh, you mean 420 blaze it, okay.
death to America and believe perhaps this would get through to them in a way that the more
restrained language that we're used to.
Oh, oh, because they say, Madagabar, America, Madagabar, Israel, that's what they're talking
about.
Oh, got it.
Yeah, that's not the official communicates when they're doing diplomacy with the West.
That's not what they're saying.
just something that they chant over there. It would be the equivalent of saying like,
oh, well, you know, Americans famously say, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran, and they make a joke
about it, except that was someone who was trying to be president who did sing that.
And Donald Trump is literally currently saying that as a, as a part of the official communiqués
of the state. Whereas the Iranians aren't doing that.
from a president, perhaps has not, but you're right that that wasn't something that was being
you know workshopped within the White House. It's that there's a long call that was open
when the two airmen were down in behind enemy lines and that is an instance where-
This part is crazy. During the combat search and rescue operations they just kept them out
of the room. That's awesome. Okay, they were just like please don't fuck this up. We just
is, sir, Mr. President, we got this handled. Okay. Don't worry about it. We got this handled
is locked and loaded. Just don't, here, here's McDonald's burgers. Here's some Lego videos
to keep you occupied, sir.
The staff were, they were updating the president frequently, but they didn't want him to
be on that line. They were concerned that he, he was so impatient as he was watching
those developments, but they didn't have them doing the minute-to-minute call.
But to be sure, it was being updated regularly in that weekend when those airmen were down.
Jonathan, off of what Andy just said about the President doing this to speak in a way
the Iranians understood, I have heard from Arab leaders in the region, several over
the past year that they actually, I'm just reporting, they actually like the fact, as
one told me after these posts, that the molas now have to deal with someone who is quote
crazier than they are, uh, other dude, dude, dude, again, these guys, you might, you
You could say they are, they have a capability of enacting tremendous violence, both at the
domestic level and certainly as a part of their foreign policy as a regional actor against
countries that are aligned with the United States or aligned at the behest of U.S. and
Israeli interest, but to say that these guys are like dangerous and irrational is just not
true.
It is continuing along with this fucking fantasy.
They have always, always been ready to negotiate with the West to a degree that was unsustainable,
naive and self-destructive and this isn't new. This has been the case for 20 plus years
now, two decades.
Their diplomats across the region have said he actually thinks like an Arab leader. He
doesn't think like an American leader. Donald Trump thinks and talks like the sort of
leaders that we grew up with.
Yeah, maybe that's why he's fucking eating shit right now. Okay. Oh, yeah. I am. I'm
an Arab chic and I believe Trump is behaving just like us Arab sheiks famous for having
implemented successful acts of diplomacy famously getting our wishes across all the
time if there's one thing you know if there's one thing you can point to about Arab diplomacy
it's that it's always been a resounding success with and if that throws the Iranians off you
Americans may not understand this but we're totally fine with it which found to be fascinating
Yes, I don't believe this conversation took place.
Okay, I don't believe this conversation took place.
I'm gonna be honest with you.
I think Joe is making this up.
Sorry, I'm just gonna say it.
I think Joe is making this up.
What Arab leader is calling up Joe, morning Joe, to be like, we actually love the
way that Trump is behaving right now.
We didn't want any of our oil and gas shipments to transit out of the Strait of Hormuz at all.
We personally love that shit.
And also, as you know, we're violent savages, us Arab leaders, we're violent savages ourselves.
So we're very stoked that Donald Trump is behaving like us, the violent savages that
we are.
like who who is saying that especially when all of the reporting shows that while
Saudi Arabia and the UAE were you know will not UAE but Saudi Arabia was like maybe not fully
on board what kind of on board with like striking Iran and and deteriorating their capabilities
and like weakening Iran they weren't on board with like fully destroying Iran because that would
lead to a dangerous predicament and unbelievable instability in the region. Maybe the UAE was
on board with it, but who cares about what they have to say? Even the United Arab Emirates
now is saying, even the United Arab Emirates is now saying, we have to get financial
aid from the United States of America. Otherwise, we're fucked. We're done. Okay?
The Emirates are no longer so united, sir.
Iran has successfully killed the idea of Dubai, sir.
And again, that is a language that Trump understands when all of the financial deals that they
put together, like these mega-mergers that the GCC states are putting in tremendous amounts
money into it, to put together these mega mergers that the Trump family is also benefiting from.
All of that is falling apart.
All of it.
So clearly they're not super on board with everything that's going on.
You have a problem with it.
I have a problem with all of it.
That said, even this past week I heard again as I've been hearing for a year, he's
You see only American president that can strike fear in the hearts of Iranians.
Unbelievable cope.
Well, I would say, and also in the hearts of everybody that lives in Washington and across
America.
Yeah, no question there.
White House aides, as Annie reported, anxious at the time, a lot of them since that post
have said, well, it worked.
Look, they got Iran to agree to the ceasefire.
He sets up the table for negotiations, like defending it in retrospect, the madman theory,
if you will, that you just outlined, Joe, that it's impossible to predict Trump, so
therefore you have to fear the worst.
And that's all this was, part of the deal, that stuff.
We'll see.
But, Annie, the other thing that your story illustrates well is, though Trump, this time
second year, thought more likely to authorize military force than in the first.
But he's still hesitant to cross a threshold of deploying ground troops.
He's still very dude only only morning Joe could take this walshy journal article about
like how scared and how panic Trump is and how paranoid Trump is and how his handlers
literally need to how his handlers straight up need to ensure that he's not in the room
when like serious military operations are being conducted and turn it into it's actually
awesome and everyone is so scared.
is so scared that the guy who was controlling the nuclear arms, the nuclear arsenal of the
United States of America is out of his fucking mind. And Arab leaders have told me, this is
just like us, man. We love this. Keep posting that shit, sir. That's what they're saying.
Actually, great. Oh, this is MSNOW, by the way. This is supposed to be the liberal
news network, by the way. This is supposed to be the most lived up news network. Thank
Thank you, morning, Joe, for finding a way to take this Wall Street Journal article that
offers insight to what's happening behind closed doors and turning that madness and chaos into
something positive seemingly for Trump's, uh, art of the deal.
Very nervous about American lives lost in themselves will be.
I swear to God, every crime or law, are you talking to me?
Got to be a boss to beat the main boss? Are you calling Iran the main boss?
Don't you realize that that's an admission of defeat?
Every time a Trump supporter comes in here, they just like hit themselves and hurt themselves in confusion.
Every time it's very strange
Why are your haters always so fuck is stupid I mean cuz
I'm anti-maga. I'm anti-fascist and I think a lot of maga are just very dumb and a lot of people
Who end up opposing me end up aligning with maga and therefore presenting themselves as as very dumb
terrible, but also the political ramifications of that. So speak to us about that still,
that hesitation and what we could learn from it as we consider what could come next because
the fate of these negotiations still very much in doubt. Trump may need to escalate
further and actually to get this war to close if it can't be done in negotiating table
in Islamabad next couple of days.
Yeah, you know, I was really struck in talking to some of the people around the
president and his advisers and some of his informal advisers,
the extent to which he has brought up in conversations
Jimmy Carter and how Jimmy Carter's experience in Iran,
this exact regime that President Trump has been bombing.
But how Jimmy Carter's experience in Iran
has loomed large as he's been weighing what to do.
And he hasn't even spoken.
The president has spoken publicly about this
in a March event in Florida, he brought up Jimmy Carter
as he was talking about democratic failures
in foreign policy.
But he dwelled at length about Jimmy Carter, something
that his friends have said, and people who have spoken to him
have said he has talked about privately as well.
So his hesitance on putting troops on the ground is real.
He's very concerned about how that would be.
He has not been in a position before
of sending troops in harm's way, in this way.
That is not to say he won't do it.
And his advisors have been very clear with us
that remains on the table.
It's not something that they're gonna take off.
But he has said, troops going to Kirk Island,
would they be sitting ducks?
Would they all be killed?
And that is a very real fear that he has articulated.
And for good reason.
And Annie, I couldn't help but notice the picture that
accompanied your story, at least when I read it online,
had some parallels with the failed 1980 Operation Eagle
Claw, the failed operation to rescue the Iranian hostages
back in 1980.
Obviously, that parallel haunts the president, doesn't it?
It really does.
Something that we have heard he talks about extensively.
And this is a time in his life when he was coming of age.
He paid close attention to the news, as we know.
But he would be one of seven presidents
to be bedeviled by this national security threat
that Iran has faced.
And he has thought about how other presidents have attempted
to handle it and failed.
And so it is on his mind.
All right, White House reporter for the Wall Street
Journal, Annie Linsky, thank you very much for your reporting.
The new reporting is available to read online right now.
If I had a fraction of the infinite grace
before to the rich pedophiles, I could move the world, bro.
Yeah, no, they're, I mean, the wealthier and more pedophilic they are, the, the stronger
they get, the more empathy they get and the more grace they get.
Welcome back.
Yeah, here is Maria Bartiromo.
This is what pissed off Trump apparently in this convo with rocotta.
US forces taking over an Iranian cargo ship after a six hour standoff.
The cargo ship was trying to break past the US's naval blockade.
The ship called Tauska reportedly spent much of the last year moving between China and
it-
Tim Apple stepping down.
Wait, what?
Wait, what?
No.
What does this mean?
Who's taking his place?
Didn't he already glaze the living shit out of Donald Trump?
I mean, he polished that shit.
What was it all for Ron? Hundreds of commercial tankers are now stranded.
This has been known. Oh, God, here we go. All the, all the Apple heads.
It was time for him to go. He was kissing Trump's ass too much.
I, I, I mean, I assume that that's what they're going to continue doing, right?
Yeah, urgently hiring military service U.S. Navy mortician.
Bonds of the Strait after Iran halted traffic in the Strait over the weekend, reversing
course on its decision to effectively open it on Friday, agreeing with the United States.
Tehran now telling shippers they must use new traffic lanes along the Iranian coast.
President Trump told me yesterday on the phone that it was the U.S. who closed the
straight because of the blockade. U.S. officials are gearing up for another
round of talks in Pakistan tonight. The Iranians, however, still no response on
this meeting. The state media is suggesting that Iran might not show up,
although AP reported this morning that the meeting is on. And President Trump
told me yesterday a deal will be signed tonight.
Meanwhile, House Democrats are now discussing plans to force a vote on an Iran war powers
resolution every day until one passes, or U.S. operations in the region end as the conflict
approaches the 60-day mark.
February 28th is when it started.
Do you know what I mean?
It was California Congressman Ro Khanna.
Congressman, good to see you.
Thank you so much for being here.
Good to see you, Maria.
And I want to get your take on where we are.
introduced a bill to stop US oil exports during the conflict?
Do you think Iranians will show up in Islamabad? I don't know. They said they won't.
So they could be just posturing. They have done that before. Like they even in the lead up to
the last Islamabad talks, like they acted as though they weren't going to show up until
literally the very last moment. So I don't know if they are, uh, if they're posturing
or if they're actually sending delegates. Oh, it seems they are sending delegates.
Iran plans to send negotiating team to Islamabad Tuesday. Multiple US outlets report Iran is
preparing to attend a second round of talks in Islamabad on Tuesday, but no Iranian
officials or state link media have confirmed the news.
The New York Times's Farnaz Fasihi reports citing two senior Iranian officials that
that a delegation led by parliament speaker, Mohammed Bogar, Galaboff and the foreign minister,
our bus, Arakshi is making plans to travel to Islamabad. The Galaboff will only attend
if vice president JD Vance is also present. Vance is scheduled to depart Washington for
Pakistan on Tuesday, given the Iranian delegation time to travel from Tehran, near time said
the Walshia journal, citing people unfamiliar with, uh, citing people familiar with
the matter, separately reports that Iran has told regional mediators it will send
a negotiating team for a second round of US Iran talks. MS now setting a diplomatic
Iran indirectly involved in the talks, also reports the delegation will travel only if
Vance is present.
The ceasefire is set to expire Tuesday, but Iran has not issued an official confirmation
on whether it will participate in talks.
The Foreign Ministry spokesperson said in a briefing this morning that no decision has
been made regarding the next round of negotiations.
Is Iran using GD Vance as a human shield?
They love me, please.
Yeah, they're like, bring the fat one.
Bring the fat President Trump, bring the fat one.
We love him.
He looks like a QB day.
In Iran, why do you want to stop US oil exports during this conflict?
Isn't this confirmation that they sold out?
NOSIA, NOSI's fire in Lebanon and the blockade is also not lifted both pre conditions as they said
we'll see all you can do is wait and see okay
if they uh if they go to the ceasefire negotiations and and uh none of the
preconditions are cleared, then yes. It makes sense as to why Trump thinks this is perceived
weakness, because they are showing weakness. Ron used to build to stop U.S. oil exports
during the conflict in Iran. Why do you want to stop U.S. oil exports during this conflict?
It's common sense. Why would we be sending our oil overseas when Americans are getting
fleeced at the pump? When gas has gone from $2.30 to $4, we should have our oil supply
for Americans. And that would bring down the price. This was a giveaway in 2015 to
the big oil companies. Yeah, it's good for them, not good for the average consumer.
I don't know if it's a giveaway really, but the truth is, is the president told the nation
just the other day, and we know this to be true, that the US is producing more oil and
gas.
What?
It's under Joe Biden.
The Democrats do not want to see drill baby drill, right?
The US was producing, as you know, more oil and gas at a record level, even under
Joe Biden. The point is the why are we silenced by Lib Darn Media. Exporting it. And we had the
biggest point is why have we gotten into a war that has led to the closing of the Strait of Hormuz?
The Strait was perfectly open 60 days ago. And you know I talked as I know you do. I talked to
some of the senior finance guys at Wall Street, JP Morgan and others. They thought that this
war would have been over in three weeks. This war is going on 60 days. It's hurting the
economy is putting our lives at risk. We've got Khamenei Jr. in charge who is actually more
hard-line with the IRGC. We have a worse regime in there. What have we achieved?
Are you saying that you do not think it's a good idea to defang Iran from having a nuclear weapon?
Absolutely. We should do that. But this is not achieving that. We now have Khamenei Jr.
How do you expect to do that?
So Congressman, how do you expect to do that?
Well, I'll tell you how we plan.
Hold on, hold on.
What is your plan to ensure that Iran does not
have a nuclear weapon?
Well, this is not doing it.
This is putting Iran closer on the trajectory
of a nuclear weapon because it's common
and senior who we assassinated.
No, no, no, that's not true.
That's not true.
That's not true.
President Obama.
Let me just, let me just finish, let me just finish.
Okay, go ahead.
Let me finish.
Go ahead.
You know, look, look, comedy juniors that is saying he wants to develop it, the more
hard-line IRGC is in.
What we need is the enriched uranium.
Even Vice President Vance acknowledges it.
That is underground.
You can't bomb to get that.
You need diplomacy.
We should be sitting.
I missed your last take.
Is there any way to, I could possibly rewind the stream, perhaps?
Oh, why, what a wonderful question.
The Planker Broadcasting Service has a rewind function, as long as you're watching
on a desktop.
If you subscribe, if you subscribe to PBS, Biker Broadcasting Service, you can make
use of the emotes all around the platform, you can actually send me links, no guarantees,
I'll click on them, and you can also rewind the VOD to go back and watch whatever you
want to that you may have missed.
Biker Broadcasting Service is always sponsored just by you, the people, and always will
be for you, the people.
Hey, Capricuity!
Thank you for the 15 community. Give the subs and Jaeger. Oh wait, Larson. They give the five gifted subs
Piker broadcasting service for tomorrow's news today
The people's broadcasting service
Now with Oman with other nations now that maybe we have leverage we should be getting a deal
But to be threatening to wipe out Iranian civilization, to be threatening to blockade the Strait of Hormuz and close it, hurting the economy, that's just not rational policy.
President, now look, are you saying that you want diplomacy with Iran and you think that they're going to tell you the truth?
They just told us months ago that they did not have any long-range missiles, and then they sent a long-range missile to the Diego Garcia Island.
So I'm just trying to understand what your plan would be to defang Iran from a nuclear
weapon because right now, as the president has said many times, Iran's Navy is gone,
the Air Force is gone, the leadership is gone.
And yes, it impacted the economy and the Iranian people are begging President Trump
to finish the job.
I mean, we had on Reza Palavi a ton of other Iranian citizens who say, please, President
Trump.
Um, have you noticed they haven't been communicating as much lately, Maria?
Perhaps there's a good reason for that. I
Haven't seen any of the polyvis on the main stage since we, you know
Since we started bombing Iran and like maybe the first two weeks
Well, we were continuously bombing Iran all the polyvis were on TV. They're like, oh, this is great
President to romp and Benjamin Netanyahu is so good. Thank you. Thank you
They haven't been tanking President, President Trump as much.
I wonder why perhaps it's because the situation changed dramatically.
It's no longer favorable to America or Israel.
Help us.
So exactly what are you saying?
You're saying you would rather the president do diplomatic talks and you think they're
going to tell us the truth. In fact, some of them are saying they never said to bomb
Iran at all. Oh, wow. Masih Ali Najad, I do not belong to the group of opposition that
romanticize the war. And I kissed the hands of my critics. What? What? Oh, my God. Masih
alinez yard is now walking back her calls
for the u.s. to attack iran after nearly a decade of support for sanctions of war
she literally went out
all my god someone send me the video
send me the fucking video when she ran up into the streets
when she was running around dancing in the streets
all my god
few iranian american voices have been as supportive of bombing iran or as
aggressive and defaming opponents of war as a as mussy alina job but now that
it's clear that the war has been a disaster on a job predictably backtracks
interest purchase of as a victim but her contemptible role will not be forgotten
she betrayed two people here the irani people whose blood is on her hands and the
american people whose military she treated as her private mercenary army
Oh my God, what happened?
Are the checks drying out?
Is that what it is?
Remember when she was literally the day, the first day that the bombing started, she was
crying tears of joy, running around and yelling at random New Yorkers being like, we have
done it.
He is dead.
Ayatollah is dead.
President Trump.
Turn off. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That's what she was doing
What happened
What the fuck happened here it is
Here there's one of one of the many different instances. I love America. I love everything about this country
I grew up in a country where I was brainwashed to say death to America the same country
How ironic the same country that I wish death
saved my life three times and now helped my people in Iran they are
celebrating their turfs love her I don't know why what do you mean she has the
exact same vibes as a turf what the fuck are you talking about why do you
think turfs love her she looks and sounds and has the exact same vibes as a
turf.
Every morning I wake up reading that my people being killed by Ali Khamenei but this is the
first morning in my life that I get to go to the beach, I want to run, I want to run,
I want to run, I want to run, I want to just run, I want to just run and shout and
shout and shout out of joy, out of joy, out of joy, out of joy.
She's Turkish, don't put that on us, don't put that on us, okay?
Don't put that on my people. Come on now. I mean a lot of Iranians have a lot of Turk in them, but
But
Austin is leaving a day early
He's leaving it. They really he fucking hates it here. He literally told me I was
He was like, I fucking hate being here. I absolutely despise being here. I despise you. I hate your chat
That's what he said. He said they can't hear you, bro. You got to speak to the microphone
Okay, hold on. Hold on. I haven't unmuted yet. I don't want to intrude. I see I have this I have I'm very insecure
About I don't want to intrude and so Hassan hit me last night and he goes
I just asked him when he was leaving and I was like, well, you know, I was like trying to read between the lines
That's not what it was. That's crazy. That's crazy. He's like, yeah, I'm out of here. I'm out of here. And then he said
No, I had nothing to do with it, but look and then he said
Look genuinely I enjoy spending time with you
We watched two episodes of a show together. That's crazy. We have such a good time. It's fine. No, it's cool
I'm just setting myself up. I'm gonna go near the airport so I can be ready for my flight tomorrow
You know what I mean? I had nothing to do with you and
This is exactly why I was asking when your flight was leaving so I could I could mentally prepare
For this for this breakup you you are check his backpack for protein. No, I didn't take anything
I didn't do anything from your house. I drank a lot of your waters, but that's about it. Okay, so that's about it
But no, it's fine man. It's all good. No, I'll be sad. Yeah. Oh, no
No, come on. I hate to see you go, but I love to watch you leave type shit
Oh, man. Oh, you saying I got a fat ass?
Yeah, I know it's fine man. It's working on my butt recently. It's fine, bro
I'm working on my butt. We're just coworkers, bro. You won't show up to my funeral either. Are you kidding me?
Of course I'm kidding. I would host your funeral. Yeah, it's fine. It's fine, bro
Are you kidding me? The speech I would deliver? No, you're seriously still here. No
Oh my god, hey, so what's going on? I was supposed to be on the stream yesterday, but I was in masturbation. Oh, yeah
Yeah, that's right. I was like Austin the people miss you. They want to see you like yeah
Wherever you've been people keep asking and you're like, I hate them. No
I mean, it's like that's what you kept saying
I'm gay. And Lebanese.
I join the masses of white people in Oscord who hate white people.
Oh, okay.
The self-hatred of white people, I join that.
But I'm Lebanese, which is, I'm white passing, Lebanese.
So, you know, a lot of people don't know that.
No, it's fun, bro. It's fun.
We were, you know, we were going to cover the news together.
I mean, I'll cover the news. I have some time if you want me to cover the, but
I don't want to intrude.
You know what I mean?
Like, I'm not a professional political commentator, but you and I align politically
on many things. Oh, that's good. That's right. And we do have a few disagreements like your,
your, your thoughts and, uh, you and I both know that, but that's something that where we fundamentally
disagree. Um, but, uh, right. Um, that's where we, I've condemned you many times for those comments,
but Austin made this K. Yeah. I saw. Yeah. Nasty. Yeah. Well, look, I think you think it's
nasty because you're homophobic. No, you gave up and you did Bukaki as you told me. No,
I mean, look, I told me you gave up. Yeah. I mean, look, it's a, it's a beautiful story.
And if you didn't listen to the story and you just saw the cake, you, it may not taste as good.
No, it's the end of the day. It has everything that the cake has in it.
It doesn't matter the, how you put the ingredients in. But yeah, I know we were,
we were watching the Iranian dissidents of the, of the government who were demanding
that they bomb the Iranian people, now walk back those statements and say that they never
actually wanted the bombing campaign to happen at all.
And then, but they were celebrating it at the time.
Well, let's, let's see what she was doing on Fox news.
Well, did you play?
I already played it, but the reason why I was bringing that up is because Maria Bartiromo
is talking to Ro Khanna about how, you know, everyone loves what Trump has been
doing in Iran like you know Pahlavi, Rezaal Pahlavi, and you know all these like
Iranian people have been celebrating and they haven't been they were they were
celebrating initially but they haven't been I mean obviously it's late because
it's been a massive fucking failure. We all knew it was gonna be a failure from the beginning.
Not all of us. Some people in my check have been yelling at me for some fucking weird reason.
understand what they expected like like we were gonna bomb Iran and people were
gonna all of a sudden be like oh now's our time just gotta dodge all these bombs
and then we can take over the government somehow with what I don't
understand there was no you know what I mean there needs to be there wasn't
even like a correct me if I'm wrong with it wasn't even really a resistance
of like group that was even tangible to even be the ones that led this
No, there was no next day after, there was no plan for what the government would look
like.
Right?
You would need that.
There was none of that.
So like it just doesn't, it didn't make sense from the beginning.
And we knew that this was going to happen.
But yeah, it's a silly war that we got, you know, we know why we're in the war.
The only disagree is we're in 9-11 coal because airplanes weren't heard in the process.
Yeah.
Yeah.
People don't know that we simulated 9-11, Austin tries to disavow it, but like he
literally was like a song do a 9-11 simulation when we did the when we did
the airplane what I did not say anything about that yeah I'm not saying anything
about that I was if there's any foxes yeah if there's any fox news producers
watching just don't let him get away with that he made me say it I want to let
everybody know that he made me say I condemn his comments on 9-11 and more
specifically I condemn his comments on Pearl Harbor which it's a lesser
known fact about a song that he says that they believe he believes in america
deserve pro-harbor
i don't know
yeah
oh god
are you listening?
yeah that's a good one
i'm cooked
i'm fucking cooked
you know
let's see what rosa said
they're not begging for donald trump to wipe out iranian civilization
they're not begging for him to blow up every power plant and threaten war crimes
uh... and they don't like the fact that we have actually a war hard line regime in
there
not created a regime that is respecting human rights or protesters. And the reality is, yes,
I don't trust Iran. I mean, obviously, Reagan said, trust me, trust me.
You can't sit there. You can't sit there and tell me that you are talking about Iran's
human rights.
You're often disagreeing with my 9-11 comments because it didn't go hard enough. It's
really fucked up. I was like, bro, you can't be saying that kind of shit.
No, no, no, no.
That's what he said. He was like, it was a failure.
No, no, no. I was just because some of the planes fell without hitting the Pentagon. You
know, that kind of stuff. He also thinks it's fake.
No, I think it's real. He thinks 9 11 is the fake. I think it's when they, the way
they treat women and the way they treat, you know, this kills me is why do all of
a sudden they become super woke. Oh yeah. Whenever it's military intervention time,
They're like, you know what they do to gay people what I want to do to gay people here
Yeah, they go over there and I'm jealous. Yeah, they're like super woke. They're like pro woman pro gay
They're like they kill gay people and everything like that. We don't kill gay people. We're just trying
We're not that far along in the process. We want to do it
But Iran is you know lapping us on that field
Oral equivalent between the way president Trump treats citizens and
And are you putting in equivalency there?
No, I'm not putting in equivalency.
What I'm saying is that we have not created a regime that actually is respecting human rights.
We have a regime that is more hardline.
There is no democracy emerging.
There is no regime that's actually closer to the United States.
Actually, you know what we've done is we've increased China's role in the region.
Now they want to have oil transactions in the one, not in the dollar.
And so, what we've done is actually lost influence in that region, and we haven't gotten the
enriched uranium.
I mean, that is the problem.
Well, I think that President Trump is trying to negotiate that, and he told me yesterday
directly that he's expecting a deal to be signed tonight in Pakistan.
I want to move on to other issues, because I know you're doing a lot, Congressman,
and we appreciate that.
But here's my final question on this issue.
Are you suggesting that Obama's leadership on Iran was better because yes under President Obama, they were
Trances to a Swiss account. This is why Trump got so mad
This is why Trump got so mad. He started posting up a fucking firestorm on yeah
No, I know he was like, oh, did you see pay away? It was bad. It was weak. It was terrible. Yeah, it has blow up between
2014 and 2016. Yeah, Barack Obama gave 1.7 billion to Iran. Donald Trump is slated to
give 20 billion. Yeah, because of, wait, wait, is this part of the negotiation? He's gonna
give them more money. So much more. And then on top of that, how much money we've been
spending on a daily basis bombing them. Yeah. Right. Which was, which is more than, which
is what triggered the dollars, which is what triggered the closure of the Shredda
Hormuz to begin with, like it was unimpeded, untouched for all of those 40 plus years with
like one exception during the Iran-Iraq war for a brief moment, but outside of that, it's
never been contested. Iran just never took advantage of the power that they had over
the Shredda Hormuz and they were literally pushed. They were pushed into, what is this?
What fear and talking about revolution
What are you let Ludwig completely shut that hugely productive combo down
What is this person saying bro? What what planet are you living on?
What I think we need to step outside for a month. Let me talk to them
Go ahead and just take a moment and perhaps there's a new episode of the fear and podcast we move past that one
Um, and just, just step outside for a moment and it's okay. It's okay. And, uh, it's okay.
Just move on. I don't think that that, I think that you're maybe having paralyze pendant
plug. Thank you for 25. Get the subs. You think that did I deal with that? Okay. Yeah, you
did. You did take a breather. Take a breather. Okay. I don't know what you're talking about.
Austin's real 9 11 take back in his sports phase.
I remember this
This same build a bitch
That was a rough face for me. Are you depressed rough for me too?
What would I look like that? Yeah, oh my god
Fucking insane thing to say dude, but yes, okay
You just giggled at a fucking plane hitting the Twin Towers, okay?
Okay, but that's one is personal the other one is like a fucking complex situation
That was horrific tragedy, but that was a consequence of like a thousand people died
And this is me just insulting you when you're not I know what is personal the other one is literally like you know an issue
That took place like fucking 20 plus years ago, dude
What what this was like ten years in what point wait so at what point can you start making fun of tragedies?
the 9-11? Oh my God!
Brother, dude, we went through a phase and I actually, I'm kind of
blame you for this, where we were both painting our nails.
Uh huh. And like, I'm not like, I think painting nails is
fine, but like, I like went through an emo phase, but I
was like 27 years old.
Yeah, just look so I was wearing like tight pants. It was just a very you were you rough
You were dressed so poorly. I mean I was very rough. I was fat as fuck dude. What is that facial hair?
I was just not good at pictures of myself the Christian and not good at all and neither of us were looking good
Oh, dude, I showed pictures of Christian
of my myself the Christian and you know when you're significant other like he can't even lie
He's like Austin you looked like shit. He's like I would have not dated you if you look like that
So he told me yeah, it's just really really bad like I I've never heard of somebody glowing up at 30
But I also also the the clothing was all you baby. That was not me at all
Okay, I don't know you did I tried my best to make you into a man
You did that that dressed up normally and you were not I still have those tendencies like I've worn the
shit out of this alo said. Yeah, you really do wear that hair plugs took well. That's
crazy. Hair plugs. I haven't had my chat. My chat is so fucking annoying. Thank you.
That means my hair looks better now than it did. Yeah. Let's get back to, let's get
back to the story. Cause people are fucking they're hand merging viewership right now.
People ever since you've talked about it's stayed pretty steady. No, it was that
it was going up and then you sat down. We started talking about Iran for a brief
moment and people were like, fuck that! Do you want me to leave? No, no, no. It's a total of $1.7 billion.
The same $1.7 billion he told Congress was frozen Iranian assets. Now there was a back channel
to Tehran through Valerie Jarrett, active for 2012 to 2024. This was after he left office. So,
you know, it was almost like a shadow government. He also sent pellets of cash in a plane to
Iran. Now, why would you send money to Iran knowing that they are building a nuclear weapon
and they are the leading sponsor of terrorism? Well, they were complying with it.
Obama was a deal. They were, yes. They were complying with the deal with the GCPOA. Yeah,
they were unfreezing asses less than Trump, by the way, much less than Trump. Yeah.
Not that I have an issue with that. Like I think it's their money. They should,
Like the fact that we have Austin is a little lad in the background maxing.
I don't know what that means Christian Christian, you knock it off where I don't know what I'm
going to do to you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, chill, bro.
Yeah.
All right.
Um, yeah.
Anyway, it was, uh, it was successful until Trump ripped it apart for no fucking reason.
Great statesman who left America much safer.
I wouldn't put Donald Trump in the same paragraph.
The reality is with President Obama left, because of the great efforts of people like
Valerie Jarrett, we had 97% of the enriched uranium out.
The reality is we didn't have 13 American service members dead.
The reality is we never had gas go up from $2.30 to $4.00.
The reality is we did not give China more role in the region.
Let me finish for you.
I'll let you pass.
We didn't give China more role in the region.
We did not give the IRGC.
see a more hard line regime in there. You know why? Because Obama actually did his homework.
He actually tried to engage in statesmanship. He had gotten, he got China, Russia, the entire
European allies on board.
He's pretty crazy. Like, look, I'm not, you know, I have a different attitude about
how things should have gone regardless. But from the perspective of like pro America,
is a pretty remarkable achievement that this was a multilateral commitment that brought Russia,
China, all of the European partners on board. We got unprecedented access to Iranian nuclear
facilities, which by the way, Israel used to their advantage to assassinate Iranian academics
over and over again, which is fucking unbelievable. God is so evil. But, but yeah, it was, it was
proved that like the diplomatic process would, would clearly be the, the successful way to
deal with Iran. And Donald Trump just came in and was like, fuck it. Israel doesn't like this.
This is a piece of shit. Yeah. And many Democrats at the time did not really complain about it.
Let's be real, because they were also very pro-Israel question. I apologize for this
distract, but why didn't, you know, there was a Biden was in between. So why didn't he come in and maybe
perhaps read the correct for he had four years of foreign policy that he perhaps redone that
relationship? Um, who has the bulwark video of, of friend of the show, Ben Rhodes, um, talking
about this exact, uh, giving an answer to this exact question. Ben Rhodes went on the bulwark,
recently, a friend of the show Ben Rhodes, who was a part of the JCPOA as a national
security advisor to Barack Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, and he had an answer for that. I mean,
I also interviewed. Does it have something to do with the fact that Israel didn't want that to
happen? Oh, yeah. I mean, that definitely played a role. I mean, I'm starting to get the sense
that perhaps they have other intentions with the region that perhaps aren't to the benefit
of American foreign policy. Here it is. Let's take a look at what he had to. He was not very nice
about Joe Biden. Our bet was you open this up. You let Americans travel down there. You let
Americans invest there. This place that's 90 miles from Florida is going to change.
Wait, no, this is about Cuba, Chad. This is not about JCPOA.
This is not the one where it was so horny. They just saw him and linked the clip.
They didn't read the context. Didn't he talk about JCPOA as well?
This is about Cuba. He said the Biden is chicken shit on Cuba and like
Our bet was you open this up you let Americans travel down there. You let Americans invest there
This place it's 90 miles from Florida is going to change
Cubans lives with a better and then ultimately I don't we're not going to be the ones to determinant
We're not gonna be the ones to pick the next leader of Cuba
But we we think that will work better than what we've been doing for six years
But there's drunk came in he over time with the urging of Marco Rubio in the first term
basically roll back all of the opening in terms of like travel and you know
investment things like that they trade they kept the the embassies open so the
diplomatic relations piece remained and then over time they squeezed and squeezed
and squeezed Biden was a chicken shit and was afraid to go back to the bond
policy because he was afraid of Bob Menendez so we somehow got the Trump
policy to your Biden's administration in the same way that Biden was afraid
to come back into the JCPOA because he was afraid of Bob Menendez and FDD for criticizing him.
So, so that's a good thing that we know that Bob Menendez was a great moral arbiter, as we saw,
and it was important to kind of let him literally, that's what happened. But the point is that now
Cubans are suffering more than they ever have, I think in their history, they have because
Basically the same energy for Cuba exists for the JCPOA. The reason why Biden didn't
do shit on the JCPOA was because he was chicken shit and also was unbelievably pro-Israel.
Okay. And has always been unbelievably pro-Israel. And that's precisely the reason why he did
not act on the previous negotiations that took place while he was the vice president
of Barack Hussein Obama and, you know, what's the reason was he was he afraid that public
sentiments was like that, that again, doing the liberal thing where they're afraid to
stand for anything. So they capitulate to the position that Obama made a bad deal and
Trump ripped it up. I mean, I don't know how much of that is like a false assessment
that they're making and how much of that is because they like it. But with Joe Biden,
And I would say he liked it.
He liked it.
He is super pro-Israel.
He is ideologically committed to the Zionist project.
A lot more than I would say other presidents were.
That's the reason why he did the bear hug policy obviously.
He was totally attached to everything that Israel was doing.
And of course, what did Israel do to return that favor?
They called him an old fucking piece of shit who sucks dick and did everything in their
power to get Trump elected.
And they have never stopped saying Biden sucked for the one time where he stopped one transfer
of 2000 pound bombs to Israel.
That was the great biggest, that was the biggest crime against Israel, even though
they, he kept setting up red lines in Israel, kept violating it.
And he just kept rewarding Israel for violating that over and over again.
board with getting a run on a path to not having a nuclear weapon all that all
trumped it is listen to net and yahoo that's that's his entire file for policy
you know what i was that well that
israel is going to tell the united states what to do the american president
should call the shots in this country
and what the american president should call the shots in this country i saw
this is really funny it's true i'm sitting talk on this action
they found israel's strongest soldier in america but you and your college
trying to clip his wings right now with this war powers vote. I agree the president is in charge,
but look, a lot of the things that you just said are just not true, congressman.
Oh, you're trying to clip his wings with the war powers vote. What are you trying to say?
You mean congressional approval, which is, you know, constitutionally mandated for the
president to engage in fucking wars that we just completely have decided is irrelevant,
post-global war on terror. I mean, even before then, but still.
So what's so interesting here is that, you know, Netanyahu has been trying to get US presidents
since like Bush to attack Iran. And he's presented them with, to attack Iran that did it for Bush,
Obama and Biden. And Trump is the first one that actually said yes. John Kerry talked about
that. Yeah. Um, no, no, he's been trying to get this, uh, he's been trying to get this emotion for,
for many, many years. Um, what's interesting is almost hoxing yesterday went on the Sunday shows.
Almost hoxing is, uh, he, he served in the IDF, uh, and did not serve in the American military,
served in the IDF was one of the key architects of Biden's Middle Eastern policy alongside
Brett McGurk. Both Brett McGurk and Amos Hoxden have said that they were preparing to strike Iran.
That Brett McGurk came out in the last round of bombing campaigns that Trump was implementing
in the 12 day war and said, oh, this is our training. We did this. We trained for this for
years. Because we've been preparing. We wanted to do this. So much praise to Donald Trump for
doing this. Um, and, and almost Hoxden came out yesterday and literally said the same shit,
basically it was like, well, we were, we were gearing up for this. We probably,
if we got a second term, we would have done this ourselves. So anyone that tries to come at
any of you for, for criticizing the Biden era foreign policy, just remember they're
bullshitting. They don't know the full facts or, uh, they also like what Israel is doing,
what America is doing, what Trump is doing, they're just too embarrassed to admit it.
Or they don't like it on the aesthetic side.
People are too busy at brunch.
Yeah.
And I mean, look, we have to look at this realistically, and President Obama sent money
to the Iranians, and what did they do?
They resumed their build-up of enrichment and it, what's not true?
Yeah, Trump is the one who ripped apart the JCPOA
Which is why Iran
Started
Enriching uranium once again never to really build a nuclear weapon
Which I think is a failure on the Iranian side, but you know, I'm not Iranian
I have no say in this process
They should have just developed nukes instantly as soon as Trump as soon as Trump ripped apart the JCPOA
It should have been like, okay, nuke time. Sorry. We tried. It didn't work. If they had nukes,
the region will be more stable. If they had nukes, this wouldn't be happening. Currently,
sometimes you got to play hardball in an effort to, to force America's hand
and, and restrain America that way. So this thought, do the people in Fox News know anything?
No, I mean, these are obviously facts that they don't want to address at all because it
undermines their idiotic agenda. Yes, they're trying to present Trump as doing the right
thing here and it's quite difficult because he's not doing the right thing and he's failing
spectacularly.
It's not true. What specifically about that sentence is not true.
There was a deal that we reached to get 97 percent of the enriched uranium out.
In the process of that, Iran had certain assets that were Iranian assets.
It was an Ormani.
That was unfrozen.
And that was a deal that China, Russia, France, UK, Canada, the United States all agreed
to.
And then you had Britain and Obama, coming in and try to torpedo it.
And A-Pak tried to torpedo that deal.
We were on a path to having to get D-Muclear Iran.
So what happened is it wasn't in Netanyahu's interests and APEC's interests, and they've
dragged us into another war in the Middle East.
They've hurt American people, and the American people are tired of it.
They want people who are going to be Team America.
They want people who are going to bring gas debt prices down here and care about our
nation and get us out of these wars.
And that's why Obama won.
He was against the Iraq War.
That's why he was on a path to normalization in terms of getting Iran to be denuclear,
but it had the whole world on our side.
And APEC, Netanyahu tore that up.
Relax.
Relax.
It doesn't change the fact that 10 presidents before President Trump also did the same thing.
I'm going to come here and hear you.
I think there's some connection issue.
Congressman, Congressman, Congressman, it doesn't change the fact that 10 presidents
before President Trump all said the same thing.
Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
They are the leading state sponsor of terrorism.
I wonder what the comment there is.
And one president delivered and that was Barack Obama.
No, that's not true.
The only one who delivers when you're talking fantasy
You're talking fantasy. What do you mean? It's just the truth man. It's just what happened. These people are are in the same
But they get so mad when you just say the truth
It's unbelievable. Did she act just what fucking happened Maria actually believe that this didn't happen or it's not the truth
like I'm convinced the Republican argument has always been, oh, they lied. Okay. The Republican
argument leans into inventing an alternative reality, one that does not exist. They'll say,
oh, well, you don't have any assurances. You don't have any guarantees. It's like, no, you're wrong
actually. They did because Iran allowed literal fucking CCTV footage 24 seven to be transmitted
to the international atomic energy agency
that was almost single-handedly designed to monitor
iranian nuclear facilities
not only did they allow that level of access unprecedented level of access
they also would allow investigators from this international energy
uh... agency atomic energy agency to go into these iranian facilities and check
personally okay
ridiculous to say that iran was like secretly still developing nuclear arms they weren't
and the only reason why they went back to enriching iranium beyond the civilian levels
was so that they can get america back to the negotiations table to engage in sanctions relief
once again because donald trump didn't just rip apart the jcpoa and said it no longer works
He also added secondary sanctions to the state of Iran once again.
So what is Iran supposed to do?
Of course they're going to fucking enrich uranium again because they have to bring America
back to the negotiations process.
It's just stupid.
Yeah, also, here's the other proof that Iran never developed nukes.
America's bombing Iran right now because guess what?
If Iran had nukes, America would not be fucking bombing a nuclear armed nation.
evident here's further evidence that reality is america bombing north korea as
i was just gonna bring that up they're not so obviously when you have fucking
nukes america doesn't bomb you because all of a sudden you are a part of the
the mad policy okay mutual is your destruction policy so clearly iran
doesn't have fucking nukes about it you're talking fantasy obama did nothing
the whole world. He didn't send money to them. That just factually falls. He unfroze
Iranian essence. But he had the whole world behind us. How many countries do we have
behind us now? Obama had Russia, China, Canada, UK, France, all the way to Russia. Now
you lost me. Now you lost me. I'm saying Obama had Russia and China in their corner.
i think you know better than most of russia's not in our corner
carlson will continue this issue
we appreciate you thank you so much for a carlson
uh... we celebrate stupidity man we celebrate fucking stupidity so much
um... daniel dale
uh... our our uh... fact checkered and you'll dale he's back at it is a
strump said friday the shirt or missus was over it very obviously wasn't
trumps at friday the ron agreed to never close the shirt or most again
the next day iran clays close the shirt of hormones again
trump said yesterday that vance isn't going to pakistan for the talks
officials quickly said iran closed the shirt of home or sorry official quickly
said vance is going to pakistan for the talks
trump said this morning that vance had left and would be there tonight is all
about time
officials quickly said vance is actually leaving tomorrow
trump said iran has no military anymore than everything is gone iran
continues to have military with destructive capabilities
trump said the pope issued a statement saying iran can have nuclear
weapons
that never happened to be kind of funny though if the trove
if the pope
if the pope was like
yeah i think iraq have a nuclear uh... weapon is is really funny
trump said nobody expected iran retaliating as golf countries that
was widely expected
trough said only
uh... the only planes the u.s has really lost in the war have been to
friendly fire
he said this at the same time at the same event at which he had spoken at
length about what had happened
after iran shot down
a u.s. plane
story on president's ever growing number of false claims on big and small matters related
to the war and his triumph with the claims about supposed Iranian concessions that we
just can't assume are based in reality.
I'm to a point it's so ridiculous that I can't even follow it.
Is that, is that crazy?
There was an analyst that said that only 13% of what Trump has said so far since Operation
Epstein's Fury began has been true.
Yeah, it's, it's like so like, I can't, I don't even think he can track it.
You know, no, I've said this before Trump is the worst person
To go to if you want to understand what's about to happen because he doesn't know what he's gonna say next like he has no idea
Like completely no idea
It's awesome
And all of it at the behest of money molestation, which is Donald Trump's favorite activity molesting the money
me. Um, yeah, uh, there's, uh, representative chip Roy introducing along Donny act measures
against Marxism's dangerous adherence and noxious Islamist. It allows for deportation and denaturalization
of immigrants involved with socialist communists, Chinese communists specifically. Uh, Marxist
are Islamic fundamentalist doctrines. Uh, like what healthcare? Yeah. Socialist, socialist
policies like healthcare and affordability. Yeah. That's a, this again is a ridiculous
bill. It's obviously not going to go through. It's so stupid. What is this? I'm running
for election in fierce advocacy working class Americans. I'm not running from the left.
I'm running from the bottom. I'm running for reelection in fierce advocacy working
class Americans. That's my North Star always has been always will be what? What does
this mean? I don't know why you guys showed me this. I don't understand what this has to
do with anything. What is this same guy who says Islam is an existential threat to the
U.S. as he wants to ethnically cleanse massive numbers of white Americans? San Antonio, U.S.
Representative Chip Royce says he wants the ethnic cleanse of white progressives.
Tell you what I do. Oh my God.
I tell you what, I do want to ethnic cleanse by deporting white progressive
Democrats with a special bonus for rich ones with an Ivy League degree.
I really do not like those people.
Awesome. He's, he's woke. He wants, he wants, dude, these guys
inevitably end up whipping around back to JD pond, you know?
Yeah. They, they inevitably end up whipping around back to permanent first world genocide,
where they're like, yep, that's right. I hate those. I hate those rich whites. They must be
punished. The suburbs, the suburbs will hurt. They will feel the pain. We must allow the third
world to rise up in arms. Yeah. Pull pot two. Let's go. Yeah. That's, oh my God. That's right.
He fucking went to Kimaru's with them with that policies or anybody that wears glasses is a goddamn nerd
We will send them to the wall and we will shoot them and kill them
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Has condemned an Israeli soldier who hit a statue of Jesus with a sledgehammer in southern Lebanon
The statue was mounted on a crucifix outside a church in a Christian village
that had been occupied by Israeli troops. Mr. Netanyahu has said he regrets any
hurt caused to Christian believers in Lebanon. The story pisses me off
because it's like bro they've been killing they've been bombing churches
they've been killing Christians and Muslims too and bombing mosques as
well, but this is like, I guess the symbolism, like symbolism is more consequential for Christians
than the active actual murder, murder of both Christians and Muslims in both Gaza and Lebanon.
Like, I'm glad that people are getting pissed off, but at the same time it's like, yeah,
destroying the statues a bridge too far, it's time for a moral reckoning. Destruction of Jesus
Statues should serve as a moral wake-up call for the IDF says times of Israel
Like that was the one that was yeah, this is what did it man. This was a little like a bro. You got the fucking cattle
Mike fuck a bee running around being like all the way well Israel gets do whatever it wants
You did great your Israel project Israel Israel Israel Israel
And and nobody lets a pit fucking peep
But like the one statue gets clapped and it was like this is unbelievable
I mean how around the world when it comes to see Israeli military is warned residents in southern Lebanon
It's a move around near border Christians care about this because they think it confirms their blood libel
Yeah, except if you want fucking blood libel confirmation. They've been killing Christians too. They've been bombing churches. How was this?
How does this, they bombed a synagogue dude, they bombed a fucking synagogue in Iran, like they bomb everything.
It's so stupid, they don't give a fuck about anything. It just doesn't make any sense to me that like this is what got so many people animated.
I mean I'll take it, I'll take it, I'll take it, you know, I'll take anything at this point.
thing that causes people to flip and just be like we gotta restrain Israel this is
unacceptable I will take it at this point but it just also blows my mind that
like this is the one thing that really agitated people and not like I don't know
murdering a bunch of fucking Lebanese Christians alongside Lebanese Shias
alongside Christians and Muslims in Gaza and blowing up fucking mosques and
and blowing up charges non-stop.
And not to return to dozens of villages, despite the agreement of a ceasefire that Israel has
ordered its army to use full force against what it calls imminent threats in southern
Lebanon and says its troops will continue to occupy the area.
Let's talk to our Middle East correspondent, Ilan El, who's in Jerusalem for us now.
Ilan, tell us more then about what this soldier did to the statue of Jesus, because
We've heard very strong condemnation. Yeah, this is also because people got really pissed off about this Israel was like
Oh, we're so sorry. We're actually investigating the soldier. It's like, bro. That's like
Soldiers the king's a soldier. He's on camera. Isn't it? Well, yes, but they always have to do the fake life
Oh, we have to conduct an investigation. Got it. Got it. Got it to see how this could have happened
I don't know maybe because maybe the soldier thought it was valid after
actually killing a fuck ton of Lebanese Christian people already, you know?
Perhaps that's why he thought it wouldn't be a big deal to fucking blow up the
Jesus statue on top of everything else.
Off that soldier's actions from the Prime Minister, from the Israeli military, various other politicians as well in Israel.
Yes, so the Israeli Prime Minister was quick to come out with his comments in English on his ex-account.
I think understanding very well the international damage that this could do,
this photo that's been shared widely on social media over the past couple of days.
The Israeli army has confirmed it's a soldier who is at the moment in southern Lebanon
or has been in southern Lebanon in recent days.
He's holding what appears to be a sledgehammer or an axe,
are poised just over the face of the statue of Jesus on a crucifix that's been toppled.
The understanding is that this is in the village of Dover, which is in southern Lebanon,
Maronite Christian village. This was a family's own shrine on the edge of their land at the
edge of the village. It's not clear exactly at the moment what damage was ultimately done, but
that these I for one can't believe that the army of a ethno religious supremacist nation
that routinely punishes and kills and subjugates both Christians and Muslims in the region
would do such a thing. I am shocked. Okay. I can't believe that the anti-Christian anti-Muslim
forces would do such an anti-Christian act. How could they?
It's just par for the course, right? They're killing everybody.
Yeah, they're killing everybody.
Yeah, it's just like, because Christians and Muslims live in Lebanon, they're not just
like, they're just indiscriminately bombing. So obviously.
But also on top of that, they've done something even more insane, like straight up Nazi shit.
They occupied Southern Lebanon. And then they released statements to the Southern
Lebanese telling the Christian villages not to hide Shia Muslims in their villages,
which is literally what the fucking Nazis did to Jews. Like it's so crazy. That's crazy
that they just, they released a statement before this. One, they released a statement
saying, we're going to do the Southern Lebanon, what we did the Gaza, which, you know, as
an admission of, of the heinous war crimes that they committed in Gaza, but it goes
unpunished. So they don't see any reason to even hide it. And then two, they went
to southern Lebanese Christian villages and said if you are hiding Muslims in your floorboards
like you will also be in our crosshairs.
That's crazy.
Really army is saying that they will help the Christian community there to repair this
statue.
The foreign minister of Israel Gideon Sark came out and said that he apologized for
this incident and to every Christian who had been hurt by it and their feelings.
So you can see that this has really sort of, you know.
Yeah, you executed an elderly Christian woman in Gaza
who was simply trying to find a restroom
and then sniped her daughter in the head
for tending to her corpse.
This is who you are.
These are your valleys, not an aberration.
They did this.
Yeah.
And then they bombed the fucking church, by the way.
After an IDF sniper killed two women
inside of a Gaza church,
they also bombed that same church,
which is so ridiculous.
It had a big effect and that the local priest there told the BBC in Beirut that this was
a desecration and really extremely upsetting for the Christian community in southern Lebanon,
in this wide area which is currently occupied by Israeli forces, thousands of Israeli forces
on the ground there.
see this as being a stronghold for the Shi'at Muslim group Hezbollah.
And Yilan, what's the wider context of what's happening in Lebanon with that fragile ceasefire?
It's clearly a doctor's statue, you anti-Semite.
Yeah, clearly.
Who can forget the famous doctor?
Oh, that's right, fire.
So some developments in the past few hours, because you remember that when that ceasefire
was declared by the US last week between Israel and Lebanon with Hezbollah saying that it
would stick to it and crediting Iran with getting that deal across the line, well the White
House also said that it was ready to host the leaders of Israel and Lebanon for historic
peace talks between these two countries that have technically remained at war since the
State of Israel was created back in 1948. Now, the Lebanese president, Joseph Owen, says that
there will be a Lebanese delegation that is sent along to talks and that will be headed
by a former Lebanese ambassador to the US. He has said that the goals of Lebanon in
those talks will be to end Israel's occupation and deploy the army of Lebanon right up to
the borderline. Israel has previously been saying that its goals in any kind of long-term
peace deal will be to make sure that there is the disarmament of Hezbollah and it also
wants to decide finally the border between Israel and its neighbour Lebanon.
Okay, Yilan, thank you very much indeed.
The U.S. has confirmed that a second round of talks between Lebanon and Israel will take
place on Thursday.
Lebanon's fragile 10-day ceasefire with Israel has allowed-
Now that we have our Lebanese correspondents-
I was going to say, you know, these talks wouldn't be necessary if the United States
would just be like, hey, go cut it out.
Yeah.
Don't do that.
Yeah.
Also, these talks are bullshit too because like-
It doesn't-
The Lebanese government has no power.
The Lebanese government is infinitely more predisposed with like trying to restrain
The only standing military force that they actually have that's willing to defend the the Lebanese borders, which is Hezbollah
Yeah, and and the Lebanese army just retreats. Well, there are there's also no good faith negotiation
You can have if your ultimate goal is a fail state. Yeah, right and and not who my dad, but Israel is already
Occupied Lebanese territory. They took over southern Lebanese territory. Yeah and have established a safety corridor as they like to call it
You know encroaching further and further into Lebanese territory some are saying that Israel is also now taking
The the water line as well
Which is where the Lebanese gas fields are so they're they're now going to control the Lebanese gas fields
on top of everything else so
There's nothing that the Lebanese government could say or do in the circumstance because they have no power
They have no power because they're not supposed to have any power in this process
They were brought to heal by Western forces deliberately so that Israel could do exactly this shit whenever they felt the need to do so
His Bullah has been the only force to restrain Israel because they are the only force that can militarily stop Israel from further
Engrossing in the Lebanese territory
Yeah, the IDF is taking some sort of action after the
The the the Tarawih photo the soldiers taking a sledgehammer the statue of Christ but violent
Humiliation is a central part of what its military does here's an Israeli female soldier
Posting photos of herself from a southern home what hurts the most is in this image is that it makes the loss unbearably harsh here
We're talking about a house that still has its greenery still has the life of its family
but
They
But they alone are the forcibly absent ones
They are forbidden from returning while a soldier from the Occupation Army enters a place, picks the
produce, cooks and laughs as if the house has no owners, as if the 55 villages, banned to the
people of the South, haven't been emptied to their inhabitants. And as if all of this devastation
isn't enough, the scene is humiliating because it sums up everything, uprooting people from their
land and then turning their homes and gardens into a free-for-all space for the invaders.
This is occupation and deliberate insult to the people's memory, dignity and their inherent
right to return to what they planted with their own hands. You know, it's also additionally crazy
about this. If this was happening on Saturday, these people would be get punished. The Israeli army
would punish them for not abiding, not keeping kosher and actually cooking food for the rest of
the military on the day of Sabbath, which is crazy. Yes. The Israeli military has literally
offered worse punishments to people who have gone into the kitchens in the military
To make hot dogs on a fucking saturday then they have to the six rapists at the city taemon concentration camp
Uh for for raping possibly prisoners to death on camera. They were caught on camera. Yeah
How fucking insane is that horrific?
Yeah, here it is i df said soldiers sent to 20 days prison for making hot dogs on uh shabbat
Anyway, and grandfather's rolling in his grave.
He was cremated, but whatever you do with it.
And despite the ceasefire, Israeli troops have continued to occupy territory deep in the south
of Lebanon.
Today, the Israeli military has warned residents to stay away from dozens of villages.
Oh, see, this is the forward defense area.
This also happens to be the gas fields that Lebanon has.
Long the border publishing for the first time, it's deployment line inside Lebanese territory.
The forward defense line stretches east to west almost six miles into Lebanon.
Hezbollah prescribed by the UK as a terrorist group has fired.
Yeah, these guys, Israel is the only country on the planet that always has a defense with
a strong offense, you know, right?
No, in order to establish defense, we have to take more and more of your territory.
Sorry.
of rockets from southern Lebanon to northern Israel. Our Foreign Affairs
correspondent, Porik Abraim, travelled to the southern town of Bazaria, close to
the Litani River, who's only allowed into the area with Hezbollah's permission.
We spent two days in southern Lebanon trying to unpack the short-term that
is Hezbollah's stronghold. These are their heartlands. We went to their
funerals. We surveyed destroyed neighborhoods. This one said five or six
meters down. I think this is also why people get so mad when I say like you
know the shit that I've said about Hezbollah where I'm like they are a
paramilitary group with a separate political party that's in the Lebanese
parliament by the way but people get so mad when you don't just say like
they're fucking terrorists they're terrorists how dare you say that it's
like because it's just the truth what I'm saying about his blood is the truth
they are a paramilitary organization is a separate military that happens to be
the only standing military that will fight back against Israel that that has
a literal fucking political party in the Lebanese parliament it's just the
truth it doesn't matter you could just like say terrorism terrorism terrorism
all day every day but this is the real terrorism happening here is what
Israel is doing to southern Lebanon. Okay?
It's terribly weak, but for these people with this war, Hezbollah has more reason to exist now,
not for us.
Western perspectives on this shit is so fucking insane to me,
because they'll be like, oh well they killed these guys that were like affiliated with Hezbollah.
They killed these journalists that were affiliated with Hezbollah. It's like,
that's what is illegal in that situation is killing a journalist,
Not an affiliation of a journalist with his Bullah, okay? It's like saying, oh well, we killed
this random hospital worker in Israel because they voted for Benjamin Netanyahu, okay? They voted for
the Likud Party. The fuck are you talking about? That's not how this works. You can't just like
assassinate on their own fucking territory random people for expressing their political
preference when they're not an armed militant engaging in an act of combat against, and even
when they're engaging in an act of combat against an invading country, it's still the invading
country that is in the wrong for invading this other sovereign territory. Anyway, it's
very frustrating that we have designed these rhetorical tricks to just shut off our fucking
minds where we're like, no, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, we're like,
was created as a result of the aggression in the region to begin with, this is like where it all
comes back to, is the territorial ambitions and aggression in the region? His blood did not exist
before Israel invaded Lebanon, okay, and occupied Lebanon. That's the whole point, that's the whole
thing, why can't people understand this? My grandfather was talking about this for generations, decades.
Our first stop, the town of Jebchit.
According to the mayor, there were 40 Israeli airstrikes here in the last six weeks.
When the war started, people left, now with the fragile ceasefire, they're returning.
The mayor is a physics lecturer at the University, but these days constantly fielding
calls from concerned residents.
The Israelis said they were targeting Hezbollah militants here and many of them were killed.
But they also hit the generators that were providing electricity to the town.
Again, they are Lebanese people living inside of Lebanese territory, going about their Lebanese
lives. When you are a country that decides to bomb a sovereign nation's territory,
it's not just the generators that are fucked up. You can't just decide to kill people and
Invade a a foreign nation state like it's just of course people are gonna fucking fight back
It's so ridiculous. And it what's crazier is that for 15 months when the initial ceasefire
The fake ceasefire was implemented after the you know, the the Gaza fake ceasefire
Israel killed
Thousands of Lebanese people over and over again has bought lot never retaliated in that process
So the fact that these guys are like, oh, I can't believe that it was like Hezbollah started lobbing bombs into Israel.
That's why we had to do this. It's also bullshit because Israel never stopped ceasing its fire.
Only one side actually ceased its fire. It was Hezbollah. Israel never stopped bombing Lebanon.
in the mosque.
This mosque has been built by the people of the country.
Kespelo was born as resistance to the illusion of good faith, right?
The only reason why people think there's an illusion of good faith
is because Western media is so complicit and doesn't cover this shit adequately.
They just never cover it.
or they rarely offer any coverage to it when it's like a,
it's an afterthought when Israel continues killing people.
So they just keep reporting that there's a ceasefire,
but they don't like talk about the fact
that they continue to break the ceasefire.
Yeah, no, they're covered as like Israel engaged in,
you know, defensive acts against like Hezbollah militancy
today and killed like five people or whatever.
Right?
Of course, every time they do that,
they're also killing a shit ton of children too.
of these places. The mayor says even this repair is part of that. Right here.
All right. Peace out. Austin is, take care of my food is here. So I have to,
I'm going to, I'm going to eat. I'm going to eat my food. Anyway, bye Austin.
Of course. Of course.
But I got it.
Oh.
Yeah.
All right.
We're going to get back to a close up cam.
And also
There it is
It's true that Israel's been bombing the south for the past one and a half years
But people argue that Hezbollah responding after the killing of how many gave a reason for Israel to escalate
Yeah, but to show our video or to show must dozen
Yeah, except once again
Israel never stopped bombing Lebanon if Israel had actually kept up their end of the ceasefire
I suspect that Hezbollah would have much less interest in escalating against Israel, right?
But Israel never stopped bombing southern Lebanon.
And they never do.
No, it's not Austin's jacket.
It's my jacket.
Guys, it's not Austin's jacket.
It's my fucking jacket.
Oh, my God, you guys are so annoying.
Nervous Nellie's over here.
Holy shit!
Shia Nell Hawk, thank you for the 50.
What are you resisting?
Shia Nell Hawk, what are you resisting?
We are trying to get the idea to be consistent.
Israel is actually a force, a force of force.
We're only allowed into these areas with Hezbollah's permission and oversight,
but here we are more free to talk to whoever we want.
So we meet sisters in law, Nakhal and Fatima.
They stayed here through the 40 strikes.
So how many wars have you stayed here for?
This war feels different than all the others.
Why?
Because they have targets.
They can attack even civilians.
These people deeply distrust the Lebanese Army's ability to protect them, even more so now.
The idea that they could or should disarm Hezbollah, unthinkable.
Israel destroyed part of this town.
But remember, the townspeople want the destruction of Israel.
Hezbollah is a militia that targets civilians in Israel.
Hezbollah is a political party with members of parliament
and members in the cabinet.
Hezbollah is an Iran-backed group
with support amongst the Shia community.
But Hezbollah is also a movement.
it's a frame of mind which leads you to the question
can you really bomb that
out of someone
from jibcheat we drove south towards the southern suede of lebanon where the
israelis are positioned
over the latani river
the bridge had been bombed by the israelis but locals repaired it
and to the coastal city of suer or tire
one of the safer places to get a handle on the geography of this conflict
on pause for now.
The Israeli security zone, or occupied area,
is delineated by the so-called yellow line.
And from here on the coast, entire sewer,
you can safely put eyes on it.
The yellow line basically runs along the headland
there behind me.
In between that and the Israeli border,
50-plus villages and towns.
And one by one, the Israelis are demolishing them.
If that sounds familiar, it is.
They did exactly the same thing in Gaza.
The Israelis say they're dismantling
Hezbollah infrastructure, making it impossible for them
to fire at the country, thus the sterile buffer zone.
Finally, to the town of Basel-Rey,
today the funerals of several people from here
who were killed on the 8th of March,
or in Beirut at the time.
It is at these funerals that neighborhoods nail
their colors to the mast,
and the color is Hezbollah's yellow.
The funerals today include four women, one teenager, and three fighters.
The thing about it is these communities don't make that distinction, everyone is a member
of the resistance.
Some people here did agree to talk to us like mustapha.
Why did Hezbollah get involved?
Yeah.
Why did Hezbollah, as some people say, drag this country into war?
The resistance leader found the right opportunity to respond to this attack and to the Israeli enemy
when Israel was fighting this war.
The Israel killed alongside three or four militants and asked them like well, don't you feel like you guys brought this on yourself?
I don't know man kind of feels like Israel is this like an unstoppable force of evil
question is how do you disarm that can you okay reverse the roles what do you
think would happen if a channel for journalists went to the funeral of like
an Israeli civilian that was killed in like rocket fires or something and
And literally put up a fucking microphone to the face of like mourning family members and said don't you feel like Israel's
Unbelievable appetite for bloodshed unlimited appetite for bloodshed is what caused the civilian to die
Which by the way would unironically be a much more correct question to ask
Even if it's blunt
then asking it to the fucking Lebanese people which Israel has destroyed and and
actively tried to murder and has murdered for a fucking decades at this point.
What do you think would happen to that person?
They wouldn't be able to leave Israel number one.
They'd be fucking probably killed before they even leave Israel.
Every, and if they somehow got out of Israel, their career will be over.
over.
We did ask the Israeli Defence Forces for a comment about the strikes in Jib Cheat.
They did not provide us with the statement.
Thanks, Jackie.
Well, I've been speaking to the UN's humanitarian chief, Tom Fletcher, for today's forecast.
We talked about the humanitarian situation in Sudan as well as politics closer to home.
But we began by talking about Lebanon and the scale of the displacements of people there.
But look, right now, one in five people in Lebanon is displaced.
As I crossed into Damascus a few weeks ago, that week, 200,000 Lebanese people had crossed
into Syria.
And so the needs are huge, destruction, displacement, and you've got populations
going back now to see if it's safe to go back.
And it's not.
So what about the way that war has been conducted?
Because in many ways, Israel seemed to be doing in Lebanon what it had done, or learning
from what it had done in Gaza.
Well, that's a big concern is when you hear that same rhetoric being used about reducing
Lebanon to rubble.
And literally, I mean, Israeli ministers saying, we'll do to you what we did to Gaza.
Now, I've been to Gaza twice in the last year and a bit, and I know what that means.
And so it's chilling to hear it.
But it's part of this wider context of impunity and lawlessness in the world where you've
We've got some of the most powerful people in the world, the most powerful person in the
world, threatening countries, threatening to wipe out civilizations.
And we're asking everyone, applauding everyone really, to get back to, it's not sexy, but
international humanitarian law.
Israel always says it does respect international law, does it?
Well, I think a lot of the actions we've seen in both Gaza and Lebanon would not
be lawful.
And that is ultimately a matter for the courts, the ICC, the IEPJ, it needs to be proven.
It's not just me to come along and chuck allegations like that around,
but we're seeing all the time the effect of the action.
What did you make of the incident that happened recently in Lebanon
where the ambulance workers were apparently deliberately targeted
at least three times, where different waves of ambulance corps
went to help each other and each one was hit?
Now, Israel again says ambulances are used to transport Hezbollah weapons.
They don't provide evidence for it, but that's what they say.
Does that ever become a justification for that kind of attack on ambulance workers?
So there is no justification for hitting ambulances and health workers.
Ambulance workers, health workers should never be a target.
And it is, you know, it's really disturbing.
You know, we know about the, from elsewhere, the double tap.
But now this new lexicon of talking about a treble tap or a quadruple tap,
you know, this is part of the context that my colleagues are working in all the time.
And we're saying there needs to be accountability.
Sudan is the war that has been pushed out of the way by everything that's happening in the Middle
East. Can you contextualize it for us in terms of the need, the numbers of people dying,
the numbers of people reliant on food aid?
So you've got 34 million people in need right now,
9 million internally displaced, 4.5 million displaced into neighbors. So you've got that rip.
If you don't restrain Israel when they hit an ambulance, then of course they're gonna start
double tapping. If you don't restrain Israel when they start double tapping, they're gonna
start triple tapping. That's it. Why would they stop? We are allowing this to happen over
and over again. Why would they stop? We're giving them the arms to do so. We're giving
them the political cover to do so. We are, I mean, they're not going to stop. They've
shown their willingness to engage in a commit such as atrocity. If America doesn't restrain
Israel then why should they stop? This is why I think the Jesus statue conversation is like
kind of silly but you know whichever I mean whatever floats people's boats whatever gets
people to recognize the cruelty of Israel. I'm on board with the conflict going through
South Sudan through Chad, for example, and the needs are immense. You've got the massive
weaponization of sexual violence against women and girls utterly, utterly devastating. It's
the worst humanitarian crisis in the world right now.
I mean, just finally, I mean, you're an international diplomat now, but you were,
of course, a British diplomat and a British advisor in Downing Street, just as the foreign
office is in perhaps its biggest crisis of modern times. I mean, do you agree with the
assessment of how bad the crisis is in terms of the relationship between the foreign office
and number 10?
I spoke personally this morning and immediately got a lot of feedback that my views on the
UK political situation were not part of my job nor that welcome at the moment. So
what I would say is I don't think it's interesting.
He's not a British diplomat any longer. It's Tom Fletcher. He's the head of the UN, like humanitarian
rights mission or something. I forget what his like position is, but he's not like a
normal diplomat.
The UN emergency relief coordinator. That's why he's being so open about everything.
I don't think it's in Britain's interest to erect this sort of permanent circular firing
squad, which looking in from outside is often the case.
Certainly has been the case over the last decade or so.
I'm watching this current political drama.
I know most of the characters pretty well.
Yeah, I've known Oli for a long, a long time and I've worked with him for many
decades.
He's a guy of immense integrity.
I'm sad for him that he's lost a job that was actually also a vocation and I really
hope that the UK can get back to looking outwards again and it can sometimes feel a bit introverted
at the moment.
Tom Fletcher, thank you very much indeed.
Thanks, Rishan.
And there is a longer version of that interview with Tom Fletcher on the forecast podcast
on YouTube.
There is so much tragedy here in amongst all the rubble.
A younger brother, Salam's only sibling, killed in an Israeli airstrike before the ceasefire.
He went down south to check on our village and there was an airstrike that got him.
And he was martyred, his body torn apart.
He was so young, my young brother is gone.
I'm sure he now rests in heaven.
God forgive Israel.
What do they want from us? They should take themselves and leave.
They will keep bombing us. They will keep killing us. They'll take our lands. So there's
no, there's nothing.
Do you think this ceasefire will hold?
No.
You sound very sure.
Yes.
Why?
Why is it so?
Israel.
There are always wars with Israel.
100%.
Most of the people that we've spoken to are pro-Hazbollah,
and you would expect that.
This is Dahir.
This is the Shiite neighborhood of Beirut.
This is famously a Hazbollah stronghold.
We needed their permission to come and film here.
And what we're hearing is that the streets are pretty busy now,
but in the evenings it gets quiet again.
People are now just coming back to see what's left of their homes,
collect what they can,
and then go out back to wherever it is that they're having to stay.
And these are people who have had multiple rounds of displacement for decades now.
This building was destroyed in this last war.
Three buildings here were destroyed in the previous war, 23, 24.
And this whole suburb came to being because of rounds of displacement of Shia
from the south of the country through the 70s and the 80s.
After the ceasefire, a lot of people left to see what had happened to their homes in the south.
the south. But a lot then came back too, as Bollah warning repeatedly that it just wasn't
safe, that the ceasefire was too fragile. Which was why people like Mustafa decided to stay
put in his tent in Beirut.
Is this the first time you've been displaced?
No, no, no. We have been displaced in 2006 and 2024. Also now in 2026. We don't mind.
The stone we can rebuild it, the stone we can rebuild it, but we are strong.
We have muscles, as they have muscles and weapons, we have weapons and muscles.
We can defend our land.
If I didn't want to defend my land, what I should be alive?
So you'll fight?
I should be alive.
You'll fight with Hezbollah?
Yeah, of course.
I should be with Hezbollah.
I... I consider Hezbollah is the government now.
But for Israel of course Hezbollah is the problem, and for many Lebanese too.
And as their endless conflict drags on, it is the young.
Oh my God, and for the many Lebanese, okay.
The innocent, who find themselves caught in the middle.
Down in a sky knees, they root.
I'm just really it is really interesting that they're they're having a harder time.
We're having a harder time finding anti-Hazbollah Lebanese people on these news reports.
I don't know what happened.
angry with so many colleagues right now that continue to say that there's a
ceasefire in Lebanon. There is no ceasefire. You haven't talked to the
families that I have talked to that continue to say Lebanon is being bomb
brutally by the genocidal government of Israel. This murderous regime, they
always say there's a ceasefire and you turn around and see them not once,
not twice. We're talking 100s of bombs going off in Lebanon using our
tax dollars. US made weapons. So push back folks to those that continue again to
use the language of this genocidal government. Israel is not conducting any
form of a ceasefire. They are bombing the shit out of Lebanon right now and shame
on those that continue to tell me, well, that's Beirut and that's south
Lebanon. Lebanon is Lebanon. War crimes are war crimes. Medics are medics.
Humanitarian workers are humanitarian workers. Children are children.
Dense communities and neighborhoods are dense communities and neighbors war crimes and war crimes y'all and shame on those that continue to gain and able this government of Israel to commit these war crimes and use the language, oh, there's a ceasefire now for 10 days.
There hasn't been a ceasefire not even for an hour.
So speak up folks, get your members of Congress to support our war powers resolution to end
the madness of our government participating or enabling this ethnic cleansing campaign
by this genocidal government in Lebanon now.
The average price of gas is still above $4 a gallon.
said Dana Bash is yelling at Abdul al-sayed. They turned up the bot attack attack bot farm
on Abdul. All right. What do you mean? And Dana Fash is going after Abdul. I had said.
Oh my god. Oh my god.
Uh, secretary labor has resigned. I know.
Tapper lying about more Muslims again. I saw that too where he brought up Mohammed Khalil's name.
Um, and in the process of being woke when he was, uh, shitting on a lease in Stefanic,
he still fired a couple shots at Mohammed Kalil.
Um, we'll get to all that.
Why did you say bought a tax?
Oh, because all of these like random replies are like, can you stop you create Israel and
I'm also the evil you're discussing disrespectful and another American haters simulator get out you POS. Oh my god. Oh
My god his entire
All of his replies are literally dirty Muslim steens show how vile they are your sick fuck went too far with the comments
Your white liberal overlords have proven appreciate your slavish dick washing of BDS sand and word
Bring in the pigs. No Democrats whether send our tax dollars. Oh, Jesus Christ
Yeah.
Oh, unit 8, 8, 200 working overtime here.
We'll get to all of that.
It's funny that this is just what streamers like is on Pygoroshir speed are doing for
years.
It's an entire ecosystem of YouTube channels dedicated to just clipping Pygor stream which
rake in millions of views a month.
Oh yeah, TBPN is a 7K live viewer pod that's sold to open app for 200 million because
average clip gets 257k views. Everyone's talking about strategy. Here's the structure. Yeah.
That's so, I mean, that stuff is so fake. Like it's so obviously fake and unbelievably inflated.
That's an AI slop post anyway. And it's all about AI slop regardless. But yeah, there is no comparison.
like we got real eyeballs and real attention out here ain't nobody's giving me fucking 200 million dollars
I'd also never take that deal regardless but it's just like funny
All right, let's get back together as we enter week eight of the war in Iran now that price is down since last week
But still far higher than before the war began. So when could Americans see
gas prices down below $3 a gallon again. Well here's what the energy secretary
Chris Wright told Jake Tapper on State of the Union. I don't know that could
happen later this year that might not happen until next year but prices have
likely peaked and they'll start going down. Certainly with a resolution of
this conflict you'll see prices go down. This morning President Trump talked
to the Hill and undercut his own energy secretary rather. He said
I quote, no, I think he's wrong on that, totally wrong.
I'm joined by a very smart group of reporters today,
CNN's Manu Raju, Emily Davies of The Washington Post,
and Estede Herndon with Vox.
Let's talk about energy and gas prices.
Manu, it's not surprising that the president
hears one of the people who work for him talking
and probably saying something that is,
I mean, not probably,
almost definitely saying something that is true based on the data that he's looking at,
that gas prices are not going to come back down and get upset about it.
Never mind that, I remember watching the President's interview with Maria Bartiromo last Sunday,
and he said something similar.
He said it could be around the midterms, they could go up, they could go down, or
it could be even higher.
He said it could be even higher.
I think that's exactly what I was just about to say.
He literally said that at that moment.
When he said that, I mean, I immediately stuck out because the message from the Republican
Party since the onset of this war has been, don't worry, gas prices are going to come
down.
It's okay.
They don't have a plan to deal with gas prices.
Their plan is to hope the war ends and that Americans will start seeing relief.
So when the president starts saying something that completely undercuts that, that's one
thing, and then he hears his energy secretary speak the truth, because gas prices,
we know they go up very quickly and they take a very long time to subside and this is
going to be a real political problem. The speaker knows it, the party knows it, which
is why they're not quite sure how they're going to deal with it.
Emily, I know you've been traveling out, I know you were in Iowa, maybe you've done
other traveling since you and I last spoke, but talking to voters who are going to decide
whether or not to blame Republicans for the way that they see the economy going
gas price.
What the fuck are these captions, bro?
Sorry, I didn't even realize.
So specifically, and as you answer, I just want to show a latest poll from over
the weekend. This is a Quinnipiac university poll. How much?
Capsules are on a, on a different planet.
Blame President Trump for rising gas prices. 65.
Dude, not much slash at all. 34. Okay.
We have to have a serious conversation.
We have to have a serious conversation, a sincere conversation about 30% of this country, give or take, okay?
30% of this country, give or take, is just not living on the same planet as us.
Every single thing that Trump says is good, every single thing that he does is good.
Trump could literally murder their children.
Trump could set up an initiative
Where ice goes directly door-to-door to his supporters
homes and starts assassinating their firstborn and
Openly say that they're doing it and these guys will go
When asked, you know, how much do you blame Trump for the assassination of your firstborn? They would say not at all
I'm glad my firstborn is dead
He probably had bad vibes. He deserved it
Where the fuck are we do these people are insane I
Don't know how to deal with this shit. I mean, it's just like what do you do? What do you do with these motherfuckers?
They're out of their dang minds like how can you look at the situation to go?
How much you blame Trump for the rising gas prices are not much at all
Bitch, who are you blaming then?
Biden is a Joe Byron
Is it Joel Brandon? Is he from the grave?
Changing the gas prices? Who's responsible?
Percent say a lot or some.
Yes, I was in Nevada and Arizona last week and Iowa the week before,
so I feel like I've talked to people from a lot of different parts of the country
who feel different ways about the gas price issue.
But one thing I will say is it feels still a little bit early to draw conclusions
because to your point gas prices go up so quickly that I think voters intuitively
believe the president of the also come down quickly like it doesn't really make
sense to somebody who's not following the intricacies of the market that it would
take so long for them to fall and so it's still been a relatively short
period of time they're believing him that the second he kind of decides to
end the war gas prices will fall but right now there's certainly as you
see there a lot of frustration that's reflected in conversations I've had
It feels like the back and forth with the energy secretary speaks to something.
I think it's hurt Trump consistently in the second term.
You can't really acknowledge reality.
And even his energy secretary doing so in words that he has similarly said has caused some
of his ire.
And I think it just speaks to some of how Trump's, a lot of these crises are self-imposed.
Like, you know, voters can, I think, and I've heard some, make the association between
tariffs and the rising inflation.
And Donald Trump has really made that easy for folks, because it's not as if these
crisis are where we're imposed on him. There are ones that he has driven and so I think it's been
reflected not just in the polling you showed but there's approval ratings now in the 37% lowest
you've seen and we see some signs of disapproval rating rising among some Republicans too. Let's
put it up on the screen. This is from NBC. This is about President Trump's handling of the war
and this is approval which I think probably is driving the rest of his approval ratings.
Absolutely and I was saying that there's a the right track wrong track numbers in that
polling or the highest since it's been in his second term. And as I was mentioning the Republican
approval rating, the amount of Republicans who say they strongly approve of him is going down too.
And so I think although there has been some question about whether the schism and MAGA among
you know the Megyn Kelly's or Tucker Carlson's represented his true coalition,
it could be that they're more of a leading indicator and that we're going to see the
public, particularly as gas prices come through the summer, might show more of that split
on the republicans. I mean the republicans never even from the beginning of this war ever really
sold it to the american public so it came in knowing with very low people didn't want to go
to war to begin with and typically in when we've seen in conflicts past war support for war decreases
over time and that's exactly what happened here you already started at a low point it's getting
worse and especially as people are getting hit with high gap. That was a university poll? Yeah
doesn't matter. Quinn-Piac is not just polling people that go to Quinn-Piac, man.
It's a reputable pollster. They're polling a statistically appropriate sample size.
I think I discovered why Casually Explained isn't subbed to you anymore, Law. Why?
It could be a million different reasons.
There's a lot of, I have pissed off a lot of people over the years.
I talk about every political issue.
A lot of people have personal involvement with all of these issues I talk about.
Politics is very personal.
They come in, they hear what I have to say about like Trump sucking, and they're like,
oh, I like it.
And then they don't realize that I have a vision for a better future far beyond just
simply saying Republicans suck, although they do.
And I say it every day, and I will continue to say it.
I unfollow him every time he yells at me, oh my God.
This is like following since 2026 and 03 31 is so funny.
You literally do.
You've been a 21 month subscriber.
And yet you've only been following for a couple days for almost a month.
That's how I keep track.
That's so funny.
Here, you're going to get shook.
I'm shaking you.
As prices, I hear some members of Congress tell me,
well, is it peach people members?
No, I'm happy birthday.
Happy birthday, chatter.
Consituents, voters.
You've got a birthday shake.
It's a peachy audit duty to pay more for gas
because of prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
But that is not the message that a lot of Republicans
are saying right now.
It's about the expectation game.
One of President Trump's tics, if you will,
has historically been two weeks.
Anything has gonna happen in two weeks,
whether it's a plan or something is gonna end
or gonna begin.
That has been the case since the beginning of this war
with Iran.
Let's watch.
It's gonna be finished pretty quickly.
I do see a deal in Iran.
Yeah, it could be soon.
We are going to finish the job
and we're gonna finish it very fast.
We're getting very close.
I think it's close to over here.
I mean, I view it as very close to over.
I will say the war in Iran is going along swimmingly.
We can do whatever we want.
And it should be ending pretty soon.
It's gonna end soon.
So that's what the people are hearing
and it's not happening.
It's here, it's gonna end soon.
It's gonna end tomorrow.
It's gonna end in two weeks.
And I think Bonham's point is important.
When that comes after they never laid out
the clear reasoning to the American public
going into this, never coordinated with allies.
And I really think Trump across the board
has lost a lot of credibility and narrative setting power
in the second term.
And so I think he's used to being able to say,
oh, oh, oh, I'll do this then, or I'll do that then.
And the base only will follow along.
And it's not as if we're seeing a huge thing
in terms of the numbers.
But I think that power, that determinative power
is getting less so.
And so you're seeing some of those cracks among.
Why is it so hard for him not to sound like a rapist,
because he is one?
That's it. That's literally it. He is one and he's never been held accountable for being one his whole life
So now he just gets to rape the earth
That's what happens when you don't actually punish or hold accountable someone who is a rapist
they they embrace their rapist tendencies and
Depending on the position that they're in if you put them in charge of the United States of America
they get to rape the planet, literally. And they speak like one in the process, and they
have the mentality of a rapist because they are one.
Republican caucus, and I just think more so, his, his mother coalition went beyond the
strict party. And so those type of people he brought in are the ones most likely to
be upset by some of these actions.
Yeah. I mean, when two thirds of people responding disapprove of the way you're handling
of the war. It's not great. And obviously they know that at the White House, which is
why they have talks coming in. They're trying desperately to wrap it up. Do you believe the
price of oil and gas will be lower before the midterm elections? I hope so. I mean,
I think so. It could be. It could be or the same or maybe a little bit higher. Well,
they're not very high. If you look at what they were supposed to be in order to
to get rid of a nuclear weapon with the danger that it tells.
President Trump pushed back on Energy Secretary Chris Wright's comments this morning, telling
the Hill that Wright is, quote, totally wrong, his words totally wrong, about it potentially
taking until next year for gas prices to drop below $3 a gallon.
Let's go live right now to our senior business reporter, David Goldman.
David, how should consumers interpret these very different messages from the White
He always covers all bases. It could be lower. It could be higher. It could say the same.
You never know. Gas, oil, do we even need such a thing? Many people say it's what keeps the
world spinning. I say to you, things will be fine. Sometimes it's more expensive. Sometimes
it's cheaper. Who knows? Who knows what tomorrow may hold? When might we actually
start seeing gas prices returning to what they were before the war with Iran.
And you need to add in Treasury Secretary Scott Besant who said last week that we could have
gas with a three in front of it in the summer. So what does that mean? Is it $3.99 or is it
three with a couple zeros in front of it? There are active questions about what,
But when we would actually see $3, the thing to know is that oil needs to come down to
historically around $60 a barrel before we start to see sub $3 prices and we are nowhere
close to that right now.
We are in the 90s right now, closing in on 90 for US oil.
And what we don't know is when we're going to see that straight reopened, there's
a lot that needs to happen before then and so that's where we are right now with a big
question mark about the future path of gas prices.
Casually explains that if you listen to Richard Wolff or a Sompiger neither even knows what
a share is or how business formations work and so of course it's easy to criticize
something that exists only in your imagination that you've never interacted with, how does
Is he square that circle with the fact that I have a more successful content creation
business than he does, including one that is a cooperative, one that is literally a
cooperative owned corporation?
This is another thing that I don't understand.
People will be like, oh, these guys are, these guys are dull.
Also the other one is literally an economist.
Like he's shitting on a guy who actually owns a fairly successful cooperative corporation.
Um, and the other guy is a college professor
An economist
The audacity of a fucking youtuber
To shit on me is fine. I'm fucking i'm a twitch streamer right but like to
Shit on richard wolf is crazy
Why does this always happen why what like why can't we be a little bit more?
I mean, I guess I do shit on college professors all the fucking time as well.
Steven Pinker and the like.
Trump's approval rating is minus two points less than Nixon's after the end of his term.
This while he's not at the end of his term, minus 18 Trump, minus 16 Nixon, yeah, that
don't matter.
We don't live in Nixon land anymore.
We don't live in a world where there is, there's even the interest in maintaining normalcy.
Because Watergate was a scandal only because both the Republicans and the Democrats wanted
to drop the articles of impeachment and there was a capacity to feel shame.
There was this idea that the American government is more than this, right?
And that's why there was some sort of enforcement.
Donald Trump does a Watergate level scandal twice a day at this point.
Twice a day!
And it's nothing.
It doesn't go anywhere.
Because it turns out, as we found out, perhaps a hard way, that if one party just simply doesn't
care about the quorum at all, all of these rules are unenforceable.
They're completely unenforceable.
The only reason why this system was stable for as long as it was was because the actors
within it, we're keeping up its stability. It's gone. So if there's no investment in maintaining
this stability, especially from one party that doesn't even get punished for their refusals,
And as a matter of fact, are celebrated for their refusal to not abide by norms and standards,
then it's done.
Anyway, Spotify Top 30 News Podcast, Tucker Carlson is at number two, NPR is at number
three.
number four NPR is at number five again, Wall Street Journal, POT Save America, the pondering
crooked media box.com Ben Shapiro at number 11, still resilient. Michael knows at number
27, peers Morgan at number 30. Oh my God, I need to do a fucking political pod. I swear
to God, this is insane. This is deep red man. That's crazy. Even those who are
like anti-Israel are still libertarians.
Oof, it's fucked up.
Anyway, let's get to the conversation that took place
where Dana Fash was shitting on Abdul-Assad.
Excuse me, I'm asking you to please take the prunes for that.
I think I want to have your permission.
Oh, we've seen this with Monoraj already.
Copying is homework poorly.
This is governing.
It's not middle school.
Manu is still here. I don't know. If anybody goes up to Capitol Hill, if she wins, she
might change her stance. It is a lot like Riddlesport.
It has nothing to say.
I just want to note that conversation that you have, first of all, is such a great piece.
Thank you so much for going up and doing it. The al-Sayed said that Hamas and Israel
are the same. Just for the record, Hamas is designated as a terror organization by
the U.S.
Okay.
Okay, okay. Once again, Dana Fash has no response. This is beyond just going, well, Hamas is designated as a terror organization.
Okay, Israel is not. But can you make your own assessment here? Like, are you capable of doing that?
Or are you aware that one of the two entities that we're talking about is committed zero
genocide and the other one has committed one and is slated to do another ethnic cleansing
campaign right now in Lebanon?
So, you know,
West EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and others.
Yeah.
And this issue is such a dividing line in the Democratic Party in Michigan in particular
where it's so raw, so emotional.
And we saw Democrats getting chipped up with this
in the 2004 election cycle,
the way Joe Biden dealt with it,
then Kamala Harris dealt with it,
potentially this cost her winning Michigan.
And you're seeing this play out.
And the way that Hailey Stevens
answered that question to Dana when I asked her,
do you embrace that support from APAC?
She would not say,
because she knows how complicated it is
and how it could be a decisive issue in this primary.
Yeah, it certainly is.
Thank you so much.
That's it.
That Hamas and Israel are the same.
Seems relevant to know that Israeli Prime Ministers is wanted for war crimes if you're
going to editorialize like this is true.
Yeah, so the Michigan Democratic Party endorsed Amir who I met at the Abdul El Sayed event
For Mallory's friend Jordan Acker yesterday, Jordan Acker is the incumbent for the University
of Michigan Regent.
Okay.
I don't know why you chose to show me the Stop Anti-Semitism tweet for this event, but
it's a good sign about where the Michigan Democratic Party is in terms of, in terms
of their attitude on this issue. A lot of those people weren't like A-Rabs either. They were
white folk. They were older white folk, as a matter of fact, and they chose to endorse
for Regent, not the former Jordan Acker, who had a litany of controversies, including
but not limited to the prosecution of University of Michigan students that were protesting Israel,
who Makled actually successfully defended. Okay, so remember that.
But also on top of that, Jordan Acker had, you know, been exposed, outed.
Aside from the authoritarian crackdown on pro-Palestine protesters destroying the strong free speech
culture of the university and the town, he had the state attorney general press charges
when the local prosecutor, the new state attorney general candidate, refused to press charges.
But he also was outed as being a weird pervert, saying horrible shit about the students, like
sexual things about the students, in slack messages that were revealed.
So he's horrible.
Amir Maklid, on the other hand, is fantastic.
And that's precisely the reason why Josh Kraushar is losing his fucking mind right now.
Here it is.
Lude messages linked to University of Michigan region who led campaign against pro-Palestinian
students.
Jordan Acker, who pushed legal action against protesters, running for reelection in the
race, reflecting tensions on Israel.
of Michigan region, Jordan Acker, who helped lead the university's crackdown on
propacity students, appears to have made obscene sexual comments about a
Democratic Party strategies in a group chat messages provided to the Guardian
reveal the slack messages attributed to Acker also include lewd comments about a
female UM student and a picture of her with her friends. Mallory McMarrow also
endorsed Jordan Acker, by the way, which is part of the reason why I do
not think that Mallory McMarro is actually as anti-Israel as she claims she is.
Okay?
It's very cool how Mallory McMarro endorsed this vindictive pro-Israel pervert on the
U.M. Board of Regents who conspired with the Michigan Attorney General to trump up
felony charges against anti-genocide college protesters, even before these leaked Slack
messages.
How could you endorse him?
The messages were shared with the Guardian just days before he'd a primary convention
elected for two open UN Board of Regents seats.
The board is the university's governing body and the usually low profile races especially
tense this year as pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian candidates compete for seats.
The race has become a local flashpoint in the broader battle over criticism of Israel
on campuses.
Akra is known to be confrontational pro-Israel leader at the large public university.
He is an attorney who helped recruit the Michigan Attorney General to bring highly
unusual prosecutions against students.
And while he was on the board, it led a sprawling undercover surveillance operation against
the students.
The prosecutions and surveillance operations were dropped after guardian stories on each.
Acre has also drawn criticism for leading the university as it dismantled its diversity,
equity, and inclusion initiative amid pressure from Donald Trump.
Yeah.
Here are some of the messages, uh, uh, censored as an absolute freaking bed, likes it extremely
rough and very, very much into props.
Missionary doesn't do it for her like at all.
Can we talk less about my dad's vote and more about bleeps, box, my buddy Banger on election
night 2018, and we literally discussed yesterday, I said it was the most insane experience
of his life.
Yeah, that was the guy.
Of course, in my opinion, these are unacceptable and unbelievably unprofessional, but the main
charge still is what he did with his power.
This kind of stuff shows you what kind of person Jordan Acker is, but what he has done thus
far as the UM Regent is the real damage that he has also caused to free speech.
So yeah, of course, Jewish insider is defending him saying it's extensive said University of
Michigan Regent Jordan Acker when asked about the level of anti-Semitism in the State Party,
The question we have to ask as Jews is whether we still belong here.
It's totally ridiculous.
Anyway, but again, a good sign for the Michigan Democratic Party that they made this decision
and didn't actually lean into any of the ridiculous drama surrounding this lawyer
who is who opened Abdul El Sayed's University of Michigan rally. And I met him. He's a dope guy.
Peek-tap here a segment ostensibly critical of Trump casually says Mohammed Kallil call
for genocide which is a complete fabrication of libel but it won't matter because the subject
of his lie is Arab slash Muslim and for CNN they don't count as humans.
Let's talk about the Iranians have killed tens of thousands of their own people.
So if anyone wants to prop up the Iranian terrorist regime that's on you.
The president has been very effective in calling out the Iranian terrorist regime.
I'm not defending anything.
I'm not defending anything.
I'm saying it's all bad, calling for genocide, calling for wiping out civilizations, whether
it's some knucklehead in a college campus or Mahmood Khalil or this person or that person.
Mahmood Khalil has never called for the genocide of an entire population and neither
have knuckleheads on campus unless you're talking about pro-israeli uh pro-israel
knuckleheads on college campus
acker and nesl came for rachita openly calling her
uh an anti-semite for saying pro-passion process your university of michigan
should not be expelled or imprisoned i know you know who also also played
along with that, Jake Tapper. Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, also slander Rashid Tlaib's
good name. It's just like, confused what is Tapper referring to about Khalil. He's
saying, Mahmoud Khalil called for the genocide of people. Because in his, like,
twisted distorted framework that he operates off of, a demand to the end of
Israel's genocide is basically demanding the genocide of Israel. Okay? In his mind,
it's like, oh dude, you don't want Israel to murder children. What do you want every
every Jewish person to die? What the fuck's wrong with you?
No President Trump, all of it's bad. Congresswoman Elise Defonik, thank you so much.
Trump was not calling for genocide. Shame on CNN for saying that.
Yeah. Jake Tapper's a white supremacist. Say it like it is. I mean, he's a massive
Islamophobe. Unbelievable Islamophobe. Anyway, Spain Sanchez leads progressive push as far
right gathers in Milan. We also have the situation monitoring video that you guys want
me to watch this here. Let's take a look.

okay that's literally a a fucking that's unironically a real account
um they're a neo-nazi as well an insane like
i know exactly what account this person is referencing
okay they're like an insane no not anime Serbia no
no he's talking about the one Russian account that's like
Korabachka, yeah. The one that thinks like both Iran and Israel have already utilized nuclear weapons in secret.
They're, they're super, yeah, they're super weirdly racist, but they also are really, really into Shia Muslims.

Wait, why is it called Piker?
Does it have...
Piker's is stock trade terminology. Wait, what? It's investor slang. Piker explained a Piker
is a broker or investor who makes small trades and is often viewed as having limited market
impact on knowledge? What the fuck? Wait, what? What the fuck? Why? An individual is most likely
to be considered a piker if they make small trades and do not prepare fully for the trading
day. The word itself is taught to be more offensive than a term such as amateur. An
An individual who believes themselves to be very knowledgeable about investing despite
evidence indicating otherwise would be considered a piker.
You didn't know about this?
I've been in since 2019 and followed you after learning about pikers.
I am one.
Hustle.
This is why everyone thinks you're lying about the socialism thing.
What the fuck?
Lol why because swing trading is safer slash less risky I'm joking you can't get rich

to the bottom. An investor who transacts in ways that could be considered outside the

uh, pikers usually work for bottom tier firms rather than top tier firms. Origin is the term
there are a variety of different sources indicating when the term piker came from,
the Oxford dictionary provides a few meanings. One meaning is it causes a timid gambler
who only make small bets, a person who takes no chances.
It also refers to a poor white migrant in the southern states of the U.S., originally
Pike County, Missouri.
The latter has origins in the gold rush, according to some sources.
Travelers heading to California for the gold rush came from or traveled through Pike
County, Missouri, becoming known as Pikers.
Individuals that were frugal and did not spend their money, particularly on drinking
or gambling.
I can't believe it took me this long to find out.
I thought pikers were or pikes were like a, like a form of travelers,
like Irish travelers.
I've heard that before.
Uh, and like, uh, pikers are like an untrustworthy person,
but I didn't realize that there was also more, uh, more to it.
That's a slur. Yeah, I know. It is a slur. Yes, it's an Irish slur for the travelers.
But it comes from, but it comes from Piker.
I'm pretty sure.
No, for, no, I said travelers because that's the politically
correct term for the G word.
Because I don't want people to fucking yell at me.

Oh, here is, uh, Harry M.
Ben holy Toledo.
Let's take a look at what people are saying about Donald Trump voters on
Trump and inflation.
Yeah.
Okay.
Americans say inflation is a number one.
Issue facing them right now and to quote the great happy Gilmore,
According to them, the price is wrong when it comes to the President of the United States.
Just take a look at these net approval ratings when it comes to inflation.
The President of the United States is hitting all-time record lows in all of these polls
and all of them.
NBC came out yesterday, 36 points underwater.
CBS came out a few weeks ago, 38 points underwater.
Ipsos, Reuters, 43 points underwater.
CNN came out earlier this month, 45 points underwater.
And taking the cake is UMass Amherst's 47 points under water across all of these polls.
Trump is in his worst position ever on the issue that the American people say over and
over and over again is their key number one issue.
Was it always thus?
No, it wasn't this always thus, Mr. Berman.
And this is what is so amazing to me.
I mean, these shits that we're just seeing, my goodness, greatest.
Voters on Trump and inflation.
In the 2024 election, remember, Trump got re-elected to a second term and Joe Biden got pushed to
the curb in large part because Americans felt he couldn't handle inflation.
Trump was more trusted than Kamala Harris on inflation by seven points.
Look at his net up rule right now.
You average all those polls on the first side, you're screened 42 points under water.
That is a nearly 50 point shift away from the President of the United States.
A nearly 50 point shift.
That's bad.
What's-
This is literally Israel levels of unpopularity for the boy
But Trump doesn't want CNN know he does he loves Harry M. Den
Can we get your take on the mood of files release? What the fuck is a mood of file?
What is that is that like
like Iran related, and be a Valarant streamer, it's escaping containment, oh god, what is
it? Not Moodahar. Mooda. Jinxie. Mooda is a video game
Shremer who is cheating? It's nothing. Wait, an R6 Pro got caught cheating?
That's that's what you want me to give you a take on oh man that's funny um yeah that's
That's crazy man. That's really fucked up. I think hot topic of the day. All right, here's
my hot take. Don't cheat. Don't cheat in life. Don't cheat in Rainbow Six because all you're
doing is cheating yourself is that good
stay in your lane news man you don't even game that's true
Yeah, what's worse? You think this is bad and nearly 50 point shift? How about a
70 pooch
I'm laughing because you never see numbers like this look at this independence on Trump and inflation in the
2024 election versus Harris Trump was favored by 10 points down. He goes down. He goes
He's down to 60 points
Underwater on inflation that is a 70 point shift and a little bit less than two years
were at the time john berman and i are big baseball fans and i will tell you i'm gonna
go to trumps home borough and queens because to be honest it's the only comparison i can
think of dallas trump is in worse shape on inflation right now than the new york metropolitan
czar in the n l e's that is how bad and what the match just lose their 11th straight is
11 a certain point you stop counting because there's so many there's two things i just
want to point out my words that matter so damn they're cooking the meds dude any
any meds fans in the chat?
y'all got fucking cooked.
much here
you know independence
and inflation
these are two areas the president did well on in the last election. he did well, this is what is happening here. the strengths that donald trump once had
with the electorate the things that donald elected to a second term
you can wave audios amigos goodbye to them and why that's so important is even though trump isn't on the ballot come november
a lot of republicans in congress are on the ballot and if these numbers hope
you can wave adios amigos goodbye seal it or certainly that house majority and
maybe that senate majority as well held it thank you very much thank you

Did you see this man that has been told by his entire Democratic caucus that he should
not run for re-election?
Yes.
I don't understand, that's a perfectly valid, reliable Democratic vote in the Senate.
What do you mean?
Yeah, that's got to feel really bad dude
Imagine being a fucking Mets fan your whole life, and then you get the hug mr. And mrs. Met you get to be a part of their

that's the world that JD Vance is designing. You can't get mad at that. Like, you can't
You can't be mad at someone calling out the racist design of JD Vance.
It's so stupid.
Fox News once again, when someone says the truth, Fox News loses their mind.
They're like, how dare you?
How dare you say the truthful thing?
How dare you take issue with JD Vance?
What is this really disappointed to learn this about you so fucked up everything in
the context context nuke was correct the son is a Muslim doctor of jihad and
he's here to turn us all into tankies while shocking our dogs oh yeah it's
It's the new Kaia Place meme.
Here is what Galibath said, by the way, two hours ago almost, Trump, by imposing a siege
and violating the ceasefire, seeks to turn this negotiating table in his own imagination
into a table of surrender or to justify renewed warmongering.
We do not accept negotiations under the shadow of threats, and in the past two weeks we have
prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield.
Abbas Arakshi said,
Honoring commitments is the basis of meaningful dialogue.
Deep historical mistrust in Iran towards the U.S. government conduct remains, while
unconstructive and contradictory signals from American officials carry a bitter message.
They seek Iran surrender.
Iranians do not submit to force.
Now, I mean, they're posting this stuff, but if they, you know, if they gladly go over
to the negotiations, then, you know, who knows?
Um, yeah, the team Trump also gave me a notice.
Democrat Senate primary in Michigan is being between a radical leftist along with the
St. Piker and a theater kid who thinks she has mic-mantem. The entire bench is cringe.
Chris Rabb gave me a shout out. We'll talk about Nick Fuentes. We'll pocket watch Nick Fuentes as
well. Why is everyone just accepted far left radicals as pejorative undefined words used to
slurs to scare grandparents into emptying bank accounts for reactionary norm to showing losers?
Um, yeah, I mean, I don't mind being called that who gives a shit, right?
These people are the real radicals.
I think that, um, you know, the things that I'm advocating for, what is this?
You got another notice ML plus Joel's broadcasting service.
The fuck is this?
Bring any clip you want.
So now it's kind of like all over the place.
We need to get back to what I want.
We can get back to more focused if you want.
Maybe.
All right, maybe this week.
And I do love Mr. Piker.
And he's doing, man, he's on CNN.
I saw him on Newsmax.
I saw him on Newsmax.
I said, hey.
That's so funny that they go, Haas and Abbi mention.
When they see me on TV and they're yelling about me
on Fox News and Newsmax and stuff, they're like, yeah,
He's a kind young fellow that I talked to one time.
Hey, there's my Mr. Piker.
There's my Mr. Piker.
There's my Mr. Piker.
Mr. Piker.
Okay, that's crazy.
Oh, Aunt Moment.
Aunt Moment, Aunt Moment.
Oh my God, it's still going.
Oh!
What is this mean, man?
What's going on today?
Oh, Uncle Moment, Uncle Moment, Uncle Moment.
Really?
Holy fuck, I'm glistening. I'm sweating.
These are my best.
Odd best.
What are you doing now? You're just checking out of this?
Usually, it's dad who's like staring into space or looking at other screens, but today
I'm looking at my notes! You never let me look at my notes! Let him finish!
Your phone is still ringing.
I'm gonna go throw my phone out.
That's crazy. When you said ML, I thought you meant Marxist-Leninist.
Turns out you were talking about Mary Lou.
What the hell, dude?
Crazy time to be audio only it's probably better.
Holy fuck Stephen Miller mentioned you know he didn't that's twitch him those shut up.
All right let's get to the social democratic international.
The Global Left Unites, Spain's...
What does it say the Global Left?
Pedro Sanchez and Brazil's Luiz Inácio Dula de Silva headlined back-to-back events on Saturday,
the fourth in defense of democracy meeting, and the first Global Progressive Mobilization
Summit.
The events brought South Africa's Cyril Remaprosa, Excos Claudia Schaenbaum, Columbia's Gustavo
Petro, and prominent US Democrats to Barcelona to promote progressive...
Prominent US Democrats.
policies, and defender rules-based world order.
While Lula told Spanish newspaper El País the summit would not be an anti-Trump meeting,
U.S. President's actions hung over the events.
Leaders expressed concern over Cuba's energy crisis, which sharply deteriorated after Trump
imposed an oil blockade of the island nation.
Lula also appeared to take-
Yeah, near-attended was at this event, if you want to understand the American participation
here.
The only person who was like ostensibly on the American left that gave a brief note
was Zoran Mamdani, which is ironic because I feel like Zoran Mamdani, if adjusted
the France, uh, Zoramumdani's perspective and, and Zoramumdani's position in American
politics would place him squarely in the LFI camp for, you know, French politics, but the
only party in attendance here was the socialist party of France. So it's mostly just like
center left parties with the exception of I would say shine bomb and I guess maybe
Lula if you want to call him, a left figure still. But yeah, it's interesting.
Game at Trump as he called on the UN Security Council to fulfill their obligation and guarantee
peace.
Yeah, Gustavo Petro.
No president of any country in the world, no matter how powerful, has the right to
impose rules on other countries.
We cannot wake up every morning and go to sleep every night with the president's Twitter
account threatening the world.
Zoran has sucked them LFI's to his left.
Hey, notice how I used my words very carefully and I said, what Zoran represents in American
politics.
In French politics would be better represented by LFI.
I didn't say Zoran and LFI are aligned on issues.
I'm saying that adjusted to French politics, LFI is the left flank adjusted to American
politics, Zoran would be the left flank of electeds.
That's all I mean.
It can go or.
While progressives rallied against the far right, its leaders tried to hold their ground
In the wake of nationalist Viktor Orban's loss in Hungary,
Francis Jordan Bardella and the Netherlands Hirt Wilders
joined thousands in Milan for a rally in support of the far-right Patriots for Europe party.
Saturday's rallies came ahead of major elections in France, Italy, Spain and Poland in 2027,
in which far-right candidates hoped to further their influence within the EU.
The world, as I said earlier, is more dangerous and divided.
The U.S. has fundamentally changed its approach to trade, raising its tariffs to levels last
seen during the Great Depression.
Many of our former strengths, based on our close ties to America, have become our weaknesses,
weaknesses that we must correct.
Workers in our industries most affected by U.S. tariffs in autos and steel and lumber
are under threat.
Businesses are holding back investments restrained by the pall of uncertainty that's hanging
over all of us.
The US has changed and we must respond.
Canada strong is our plan to build Canada by Canadians for Canadians.
We will attract new investment so we can build more for ourselves,
striking new partnerships abroad so we can sell into new markets.
It's about taking back control of our security, our borders and our future.
There are some who say there's no need for a comprehensive plan.
They believe we should wait it out in the hope that the United States will return to normal.
But the good old days will come back. But hope isn't a plan and nostalgia is not a strategy.
And the days that young Canadians have known all their lives haven't been that good.
Their lifetimes have been marked by a series of shocks and crises from abroad, the Iraq War,
the global financial crisis, COVID, and now this. We have to take care of ourselves
because we can't rely on one foreign partner. We can't control the disruption coming from our
neighbors. We can't bet our future on the hope that it will suddenly stop, but we can control
what happens here. We can build a stronger country that can withstand disruptions from abroad,
that creates good jobs here at home. That's a leader in this new world with a vast network
of reliable allies. That's the Canada strong plan we're putting into action.
It's crazy because it's like Mark Carney looks like Mark's Carney because America is so
unbelievably destabilizing that he can just like present himself as like a reliable, strong,
competent leader. Because Canadians see, because Canadians see how fucked the American leadership
looks like. And they look at Marx, Carney and they think, oh, he's great. Thank God we have
Mark Carney. This is exactly what happened with Justin Trudeau, man. Just as Democrats
never learned the lessons. I recall a time when Justin Trudeau was seen as this beacon
of prosperity, this shining light in Canada America's hat. Canadians say look at our beautiful
Justin Trudeau. He's handsome. He likes to fall from stairs as a bit. He's in shape.
communicates well. May you just bitch about everything. Come on. Yeah. Many of you said
this when I criticized kid Starver Keer Starmer when he won. Look where we're at now. I
I will remind you, once again, heed my warning, in order for Canada to truly chart an independent
path forward, you must demand more from Mark Carney.
Okay, not just words, not just symbolisms, not just saying that we're gonna separate
ourselves from America.
You must demand action.
Yeah, this is it.
He jumped on board with U.S. and is really in prism against Iran a week ago.
Who's he fooling with this?
Yeah, I mean, I'm a fan of Avi Lewis, obviously, as you guys know, just begging everyone to
recall that how to win elections in New York City is not really a problem that Democrats
have.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Yeah, Carney got parliament majority free reign until next election. I know.
He knows, Mark Carney knows the cheat code.
He doesn't have to walk the walk, he just talk the talk, he just say Trump sucks and
every Canadian will celebrate him.
I'm just letting you know it's not, it's not enough.
That's all I'm saying.
In a WhatsApp.
Meanwhile, here's what's going on in fucking Florida.
In a WhatsApp group chat of about 215 students
where students were discussing an event
that was to take place Friday
at the Ocean Bank Convocation Center on campus
to make their capstone presentations.
An FIU police officer read some of the statements in court.
The exact words utilized was,
there's going to be a bomb in the Ocean Bank Convocation Center.
And it's gonna be at Jonathan's Fault,
one of the members in the chat.
Seven News obtaining some bits of that chat.
It seemed the student wanted the event rescheduled
and wrote, quote,
then yahoo if you can hear me drop some bomb bonds
for us capstone students in Ocean Bank Convention Center.
but there's obviously a joke, man.
That's crazy.
I mean, it's, it's like, obviously a fucking joke.
I, it, what do you say about this?
They're, they're literally saying, nitty yahoo.
You know, bomb the fucking ocean bank convention center.
Legalized comedy.
I guess there I guess the argument is no you can't demand any I will blow up a
school he will fucking do it like other students wrote they didn't take that
text and lightly she later in the chat wrote quote I wrote a dumb joke that
should not have been made I can understand your position Miss Corey
and you're saying this is a joke but to an objective person it's not a joke and
there would be enough what do you mean no are you saying you're not an objective
person because you literally just said you understand that it's a joke I think
It's fucking nuts. I mean, look, there are more
There are more serious bomb threats than saying Netanyahu drops some bonbons
like that
obviously very clearly is
Is a double joke a joke about Netanyahu blowing up schools and
Also a fake joking bomb threat because she doesn't want to fucking I guess take a test or something
I assume but even with the limited context I understand exactly what the what the joke is right
For probable cause I'm not saying it's enough for beyond your reasonable
Then I don't know what the states can be able to prove at trial
But for purposes of this here remember there is enough for probable cause
I can't believe it, dude, it's just, guy with a beeper in his handle, she made a bomb threat.
Guy with a fucking, guy who celebrates Israeli, Israeli terrorism, Israeli acts of terrorism
against. The Lebanese population goes she made a bomb threat.
In those hearing they are supposed to view facts in a light most favorable to the presenter.
the laws inform how the judge interprets facts.
It'll never not be funny that this Max Nardar guy is a fake character.
This guy's actual name is Brian Griffin and he's not Jewish.
And he just lies about being Jewish.
weird website that we're on. I just don't know what to say. This is why you're so tired.
Yeah. Foreign Affairs magazine wrote a devastating portrait of U.S. self-inflicted harm from
the war in Iran right before the critical Trump-G summit. Despite Trump's America-first
branding, the impulsive war with Iran has been a masterclass in putting America last
because of its hubris. America finds itself in another quagmire without an exit strategy.
The Trump administration traded national security for short-term display of military
muscle, and it is now asking the American public to pay the bill. The real winner of this avoidable
conflict won't be Washington or Tehran. It will be Beijing.
As Zhong Yang, Zhou Liu astutely observed in foreign affairs, China prizes stability and
does not want to take over every role the United States has filled for decades, such
as preserving or such as serving as the Middle East policeman. Still, China stands to gain
more than it loses from this war. As the United States becomes distracted, alienates
allies and creates gaps in global leadership, Beijing can improve its relative standing
simply by remaining the more predictable actor in an increasingly unpredictable world.
Ahead of the rescheduled Trump Xi summit, China is likely laying a trap for the Trump
administration. According to Bloomberg, Xi made Dangela commitment to buy 500 Boeing
airplanes as a high-profile economic win for Trump.
It was eager for anything he can spend as a victory in exchange.
He could draw an important concession from Trump, such as loosening of restrictions on the export of advanced American technologies,
including airships and jet turbines.
Such a deal would be catastrophic for the United States. China would gain the tools to be more
self-aligned in the long term, and the United States would make a quick book. China could even
renege on the airplane order, which would take years to complete. As the United States speeds
up its own decline, China is accelerating its technological self-sufficiency, building its
military strength, and upgrading its industrial policy. Its ultimate goal is so-called national
rejuvenation. When Trump eventually lands in Beijing, he will represent the United
States from a position of self-inflicted weakness. He will face a formidable counterpart in Xi,
who has spent years preparing for this exact moment of US overreach. It is time for the
United States to stop fighting the wars China wants at the fight and instead train its focus
back on its greatest rival, China. Now, obviously I don't agree with like the ultimate
perspective being represented here, which is that we have to fight China, okay?
I don't think we have to fight China. I don't think we have to fight China at all.
Having said that, however, if our goal is to fight China, well, we're not doing a very good job at it.
Meanwhile, this is also an interesting story that's become a story about a lack of a story.
Articles about Jared Kushner's diplomatic role with Iran that mentioned Kushner's received
billions from the Saudi government.
New York Times only mentions it five times out of 58.
Washington Post one time out of 43.
Walsh would journal zero out of 40.
AP zero out of 26.
CNN wire zero out of 18.
New York Post zero out of 17.
Chicago Tribune 0 out of 4, LA times 0 out of 4, Boston Globe 0 out of 2.
Anyway, now let's look at Drew Harwell's Washington Post article on Nicolás Fuentes.
News reports from WAPO knew we found out how much money Nick Fuentes makes from Superchats.
$900,000 since the start of Trump's second term.
$900,000.
Here's the story of Christine in Ohio, a food truck operator who became his most frequent
owner despite not making much money herself.
This superchats look like this, so we use an AI tool to tally up the tips.
His revenue spiked after the Tucker interview from $60K a month to $100K a month.
People are fanatical because they feel conflicted and misunderstood like I do," Nick told me.
Nick went to sponsor the store on X, I'm Rich, and says on Telegram, Mo Money Mo Problems.
In Texas morning he told me, It's like an attack on my livelihood and it's mean.
He spreads hate online and fans pay him hundreds of thousands of dollars a month.
This is the story about Nikolas Fuentes, Nikolas Fuentes, the Hassanabi method.
Yeah, classic Hassanabi method.
You make anywhere near them donations?
Fuck no.
I don't get any donations because I don't have TTS on purpose.
If you recall, you have archived link. Thank you, chatter.
Far-right influencer, Nick Fletcher's pocket of roughly $900,000 from
Fanatical Donor since the start of 2025.
Some super fans see him as a part of their families.
Christine Kusubiansky's donation appeared on viewer screens for
hours in the live stream of four hours into the live stream.
And Nick Quent is the far right influencer.
She often called her second son.
I prayed daily for your safety," she wrote one night last August, sending Fuentes a $50
digital gift.
I would become Charles Bronson vigilante to anyone who harmed you to keep up the fight.
For seven years, Kostaviansky has binged Fuentes' nearly-nightly monologues from her home in
Lorraine, Ohio, watching as a college student from suburban Illinois grew into one of the
most prominent torchbearers for an increasingly radicalized online right.
The 57-year-old Air Force veteran believed Fuentes' furious talk about the dangers
diversifying America and worried that it placed them in danger on many nights.
She sent paid messages known as super chats to tell them about her own moments
of personal crisis and encourage him dipping into the little money she made
serving chicken paprika on a Polish food truck.
She doubted Flenton's was making much money.
No more than 50 grand a year.
She said her, uh, said her son, Steven Ryan, who watched Flenton's
together with his mom on a 65 inch TV screen.
We were barely making it, but we wanted to help him because we saw
that what he was struggling with.
Ryan said in an interview.
But by the time of her prayer message, Fuentes was already generating a sizable income.
Since the start of last year, through the end of last month, roughly 11,000 donors have
sent Fuentes nearly $900,000.
In Superchats, a Washington Post analysis found the Post analyzed more than 1,400 hours of
Fuentes' shames using artificial intelligence-attallated donations, which flicker on screen in real time.
but this twenty seven is kicked off most mainstream social networks was kicked off
most mainstream social networks business viral provocations in extreme
bigotry
is said that a dollar is awesome and that most black people should be in prison
and that organize your is corrupt the society and that women should be locked
in breeding gulags and serve only as mother's horse
or nuns
unbelievable that prominent democrats have connected me
and my world view
to this world view by the way
uh... something that i find to be morally repugnant
something that I've chosen to combat my entire fucking life, and still, you have a bunch of dumb dipshits
actively making this comparison because they love Israel that much.
Ugh, gross.
But he has become an increasingly influential and disruptive force in the American conservative movement
thanks to a shadow economy of loyalists who cut and promote viral clips from his hour-long streams
in pursuit of their own online cloud. Through his superchats, Fuentes has funneled that attention
into a lucrative financial engine fueled by handouts of hardcore fans. He said he also makes
money selling swastika imprinted t-shirts and $100 a month subscriptions to a private chat room
where he talks with devotees. His monthly revenue for superchats has grown
We're an invisible empire, Fuentes replied to one donor's message during a January stream.
We're building a cadre of professionals, money people, bureaucrats, and we need them to all be waving the flag, but quietly, ideologically, loyally, we've got to be underground.
Fuentes Super Chat revenue throws a spotlight on the crisis now engulfing the American right, where some leaders fear a new blitz of agenda setting online firebrands will alienate more moderate voters or empower a platform of racism misogynistic rule.
His critics in the Republican Party have said they believe Fuentes popularity would fade as more Americas learn his growing of views
But the super chest show is instead found a still relatively small but diehard audience eager to support him extending him a financial incentive to build
His following even more
Invisible empires will the clan calls themselves. Yeah, I mean it makes sense
Yeah, he he is very much that a Klansman a Nazi he's all of it
The funding also shows how fringe online platforms have helped create perpetual hate machines
for the social media era, allowing provocateurs whose work is too controversial for mainstream
platforms or too noxious to advertise around to reap the rewards of online outrage.
WENTIS frequently uses streams to advertise America's first plus-chatter membership club
in merchandise store, where he sells 39.99 shirts depicting him holding a flame in
Katana, and $70 sweatshirts modeled after one worn by Jeffrey Epstein.
What does defend a late sex offender by saying age of consent is a feminist artifact and that
Gynocracy has used to stop men from pursuing teenage girls.
But he spends more time promoting viewer donations, which he reads out loud in a rapid
fire super chat segment at the end of his America first shows.
He streams roughly four nights a week, sometimes five straight hours from a studio home in
Illinois.
His videos on Rumble, the alternative platform the host's broadcasts have been viewed
more than a hundred million times.
This is largely supported by donations from a small cadre of sympathizers.
Just 10 accounts were responsible for giving him a total of about $77,000, while the top
500 accounts provided almost half of his super chat income.
More than $400,000, the post analysis found.
The rest comes from much smaller donors, most giving $30 or less.
You could legit make millions if you had a donation segment at the end of the stream.
I know.
But I don't do that.
Many of the donors are anonymous and use account names such as anti-Semitic cat and one main
what woman ego crusher 9,000 that reference edgy memes profane language or inside jokes
making it difficult to verify the names or other details of the donor shown on flint
to streams.
Oh, and get sent $5 said I'm taking a college class on the Holocaust.
Should I push back on the propaganda the professor pushes Austrian painters sent
$20. What are the chances that we were at the same airport last week?
How do you want your followers to react when they meet you IRL?
Salute you with a Hile Hitler. Ask for a photo. Give you a hug. Ignore you.
Roman Griper sent $10. I feel white-pilled by how right-wing zoomers are and by how much left is hate Israel.
It may be a unique opportunity now they get rid of the world design isn't it? Literally all of the earth hates them.
Megasquire, researcher who has studied online extremism in the Southern
Poverty Law Center through the growth of superchats and other micro-payments,
has helped insulate influencers like Fundus from the constraints that once
made open-raise them a difficult business. Some donors see the superchats as a
form of participatory politics that will help spread their beliefs and show
their loyalty, Squire said. Others just pay for the status symbol of seeing
their message and username on screen, she said. A way to prove oneself in an
insular group brought together by their hatred of outsiders.
Dona New Super Chat is the new showing up to a cool coast clam meeting, Squire said as
a community builder.
It shows you're involved as a financial form of keyboard war-earing, a thing you can
do for the cause.
Ryan, who sent Flentes Super Chats alongside his mother, said he gave money not out
of hatred, but to support the streamer and his goal of sparking candid discussions
about global events.
Some of the angrier exchanges he said stem from listeners just being a little
more free with their speech.
the post-contact if went to discuss its findings, he did not dispute them and said pocket watching
is crazy.
Well, it's a little fucked up, but I'm going to lie. I probably say similar things. Speaking
of right-wing income. Did you see this? Oh, the Asmongole thing? Yes, I did. Yeah. He is,
uh, he has not paid $400,000 worth of taxes. Um, yeah, I mean, look, you make unbelievable
amounts of money being a fucking right-winger just by donations alone. You know, the Piker
broadcasting service, on the other hand, is sponsored by you, the viewers for you,
the viewers with voluntary subscriptions, no ads, nothing.
Thank you Emily Giselle.
900k though look at YouTube top super chat oh my god pastor Jerry as a
super chat revenue 8.3 million dollars what the fuck are these things dude what
is what is all this Tim Cass IRL is number 12 at 2.5 million dollars in
Super Chat revenue. What the fuck is any of this? VTubers make so much money, oh my lord,
it's like televangelists and then fucking VTubers, huh? Dr. Disrespect is here at 1.7
million fresh and fit made one point five million dollars wait is this like
what is this all this is all time okay
bro you fuck me up this is all time dude I thought this was like yearly income
or something I was like Jesus Christ
This pastor makes $2 million a year.
A low-foe-k radio show.
Bad Bunny.
3 million yearly Super Chat revenue.
lol cow live makes 471 grand a year off of super chat revenue bro i show speed makes less money than
these people how is that even possible
that's just ludwig
this is crazy
Okay, Parker get a job 270 grand a year just off Super Chat revenue Dean withers at 251 grand a year
Damn these motherfuckers are cake in it dude
Well cap people are the most parasocial of all time think about it. Yeah
This is just super chats by the way, they obviously do ads as well. They do a tremendous amount of revenue off ads, too. Oh
My god, the entire environment is so
geared in the direction of of right-wing shitheads all the time
It's so funny that if you ask if you sincerely ask like a big chunk of
of
Leftists on the internet a big chunk of right wingers on the internet
They'd be like who's the biggest like political grifter who makes the most money off of political commentary even leftists would probably universally say me
Meanwhile these motherfuckers would like a fraction of the audience are raking in bigger fucking funds off of just super chats alone
It's actually kind of crazy
Begging free to be a VTuber so you can tarp politics and drag weaves into being a leftist.
I don't have the voice for it.
Um, anyway, getting back to this is popularity sets them from not just as political stands,
but as communities craving for emotional connection.
People are fanatical about my show because they relate to me and feel conflicted and
misunderstood like I do.
I don't think hatred or even ideology animates them as much as a feeling that they aren't
totally alone.
of my show is be yourself. Everyone's a liberal at the end of the day. Good news, Jason the
in pokemon or suing i bet no no directly involved okay but i bet i bet no no no i'm saving this
shit let me save this shit i like that little videos actually let me screenshot this shit bro
fucking boomer dude see he he has to he has to use the snipping tool even I
know how to snip and screenshot without opening the snipping tool up
that's one hope rainbeds paying you enough buddy hope rainbeds paying you
enough buddy I know exactly how much they're paying you too buddy hey they
offered weaned weaned updates bread too exactly it's not enough it's not enough
buddy great I mean I'm 100% on board with this they should I mean every
single one of these accounts should get fucking sued into oblivion they do this
shit all the time someone's got a fucking someone's gotta deliver
accountability you know
yeah matter of fact I'm gonna hit pokey up but we're gonna double see your
bitch ass. I think you would have double lost you motherfucker.
You should have been sued them to dumb ass. I got too much going on.
If I did this, it would be the only thing I do. Yeah, if I went after people who defame me professionally, I would have to
literally go after virtually half of the fucking commentary sphere, some of which have actually now turned on their
focus on narratives and I have now gotten it got so old for them that they
just like literally were like all this stuff is bullshit it turns out yeah I
would have to sue politicians I'd have to sue old-ass youtubers same with
pokey too to be honest and it would be all of it would be all of my content it
would take up every single moment of my life
You'd have to sue pokey. No pokey man would have to sue the entire internet to
You would have generational wealth in those legal battles.
No, because most of these people are broke.
broke.
Why is it sometimes bragged about how successfully he's translated online attention to the wealth
saying in January to a super chat donor who encouraged him to take cooking class.
I'm a famous millionaire.
You think I'm going to do that cooking?
He added is a little gay.
What does the first traditional workers is wage slaves and said in response to one
donor super chat last year that he was too rich to need a real job.
I'm providing information.
I'm doing real cognitive work over here. And you know, I don't know.
You saw fucking paper weights. He said, it's so
it is so funny that like these guys, and they love this shit, right?
Really? Shit. He's ever said, like,
these are all the same people who are like, Hasan,
you fucking hate the working class. You piece of shit.
Remember when we misunderstood a point you were making by design and decided
make like a fucking month long hate campaign off of it. Streaming is harder than a nine
to five. But I never fucking said that. It's the same people. What is Nick Fuente is saying
something far more heinous than what they claim? I said they're like, hell, yeah, baby, I love
when poor people say what real jobs have you had? First of all, I'm rich. Second
of all, you should avoid having a real job. If you can swing it, you should avoid having
a real job. I don't know what a real job is. What's a real job? A real job is what exactly
you sell insurance? What the fuck is real about that? You're a financial advisor. What
is that exactly? You don't have a real job. What do you sell? You sell fucking what
Exactly. You sell widgets. That's a real job.
The amount of freedom you have, if you are just on the right to say whatever the fuck you want,
and and get endless loyalty and endless charitability, and sometimes even get charitability
from liberals is unbelievable. The amount of people who are like supposedly on the left who
were like, Oh, I reluctantly think he's like kind of charismatic and he's kind of funny.
That kind of shit bricks me.
Like, there are people who sincerely say this kind of stuff.
We are as a society so primed to be forgiving of reactionary commentary, so forgiving of
right wing commentary, no matter how far right it goes.
We're also endlessly unforgiving for anyone that says, you know, we could have a better
We could design this world in a better way for for more egalitarian outcomes. Everyone goes fuck you
Fuck you you fucking piece of shit kill yourself. How dare you?
Man
This even happens like when you are
are ostensibly to the left of whatever the norm is. Like, this happens to liberals as
opposed to, because liberals are to my right, but liberals are to the left of the Republican
party, right? To the left of conservatives. So like, they have to operate by very different
standards than conservatives have to operate off of. It's just always, there is the further
left you are, the less charitable there is to your worldview, the further right
you are, the more charitable there is to your world view. It's kind of unbelievable.
I know.
In his messages to the post, he noted that the Superchast brought their own kind of
mental labor. I'm not free, he said. I'm changing the desk reading in sippid slob.
In the years since he began streaming from his parents' basement, Prentice's
emerged as one of far-right's most contentious agitators, most notably
skating criticism of President Donald Trump. Fuentes now argues that the president betrayed
MAGA by supporting Israel in a war with Iran and blew it by not working more aggressively
to deport people of color. Fuentes told his fans known as grippers to vote against Trump
back candidates in the coming election so the more brutal fascist regime can bloom
saying last month on an expo said the GOP must be purged and burned to the ground.
rises alarmed. Fuentes rises alarmed GOP leaders who are concerned of the online ecosystem and
rewards his views are here to stay. The California Republican party sent state party officials
a memo in February urging them to block candidates to promote Fuentes and Gropor culture saying
his ideology call for an America model closely after Nazi Germany that was alienating the
average Americans to save the lease. Trump said in January, first of all, you can't say that
that, because the Republican Party is literally designing society in a similar fashion, right?
Like there are prominent members of the Trump administration that have identical views in
equanthas, like straight up, and they know it too, they talk about it all the time.
No such equivalence exists on the left.
Like the closest that our movement has reached in terms of proximity to power is maybe like
Zoram-Amdani and a couple other people.
And also there is no moral equivalence between socialism and Nazism obviously which is precisely
the reason why I don't shy away from saying my perspective on the world because at the
end of the day like my goals what I want to do I sincerely believe will lead to a
better future for everyone and not only that but also I don't shy away from
describing my vision don't see the need to like hide behind dog whistles or
whatever and the way that like liberals try to present it because there is
nothing embarrassing or scary about my worldview like slowly but surely moving
direction of mass control of mass politics is not a bad thing. There is no death and destruction
at the end of this process in the same way that there is death and destruction at the end of
whatever vision Nik Fuentes has for society. As a matter of fact, that death and destruction
is already here, right, through the brutal ice encampment horseshoe theory. Oh my god,
every dumb fuck on the planet please no I don't believe in horseshoe theory
because I'm not a fucking idiot okay I'm sorry chatter only fucking morons keep
saying with the horseshoe theory yeah dude I know it's the radical center is
where we must be look look how far it got us seems like the radical center
keeps swinging wildly to the fucking right
Yes, horseshoe theory is like every fucking dumb guy who is self-ideeing as a liberal who
hasn't explored the confines of their ideology that think, oh well I'm in the moderate mythical
liberal center. Ask those people what they think about certain policies and you will
very quickly understand that they're not actually in this like moderate mythical center
that they think they're in. Okay? Half of those fucking people either know enough to know
that like, you know, modest social democracy is absolutely the direction that we need to
move towards, at least in the short term, and perhaps can be convinced for more radical
transformation of society in the long term. The other half are just dumbasses who think,
the America is only the only OECD nation that can't have socialized medicine for
some fucking weird reason because they're dumb morons that have been fucking propagandized
into thinking that the only way that the only way the society can function is if like health
care is is costing an arm and a goddamn leg. Okay.
Horseshoe theories for the is the easiest tool for your average dumb ass think they're
smart by avoiding the ends, like it's a fucking seesaw. It makes people comfortable. Sure.
Fuentes online following is only gross.
Since they give me a surprising political reach, a video from a TikTok account,
liberal Groyberg combining story music with soundbites of Fuentes,
celebrating former presidential Biden's Iran policy has been viewed more than 4 million times.
That's the other thing.
Nick Fuentes found out the secret method to winning a broad coalition of
of watchers, which is be a fucking prominent neo-nazi who celebrates former Democrats because
every goddamn Democrat loves getting a convert. Okay. They love converts, Democrats, liberals
love converts. So someone who is not converted at all can just as easily manipulate that
system by every now and then saying things like, Oh, I really wish Joe Biden was still
president and then every fucking stupid lip-tart eats that shit up like near a tandem was retweeting fucking nick one does
Okay
That's all it takes
All it takes is for you to develop yourself as a prominent right-wing figure to then turn around and say oh
I'm lip-tarded now for like the duration of this clip
That's all it is
It's so easy
Trump said in January he didn't know Fuentes and that the MAGA movement does not welcome anti-Semites
VP JD Vance whom Fuentes' disparage and racist terms for marrying an Indian American woman
Said in 2024 that Fuentes was a total loser who should be ignored until he goes away the White House does not respond to requests for comment
What this digital infrastructure has helped them secure a level of political and cultural influence that would have a few years ago
Been unimaginable Chicago magazine in February named the white nationalist number seven on its list of the 50 most powerful Chicago
just behind the city's mayor, but he's argued that it's real value has been in
helping him develop a network of followers eager to shape American power
in a post Trump future. If I'm a Nazi then there's millions of young people
that are following a fucking Nazi set on stream last year. There's millions of
monsters then because they love my show and they agree with me way more
than they agree with you and they're pissed off and they will follow me in
the battle. Probably not, because there's a lot of people like this. Ryan
Ryan said he didn't agree with all of Fuentes's views or those of his followers, but he believed
the influencer was helping expose forbidden truths about the Holocaust or other fraud topics.
Oh, the American predisposition to like unlocking hidden truths is just like a thought-terminating
machine.
How can we convince Nick Quentin to stop being big? Should we give them hugs and kisses
until they're not race anymore? Yes. That's my argument. You should do that.
Ryan said he believes Hitler was Jewish and the Holocaust was more of a Jewish oriented
Christian killing event. He started giving Fuentes a few dollars here and there to show
his support. The heart of Fuentes' message was that young men of the United States have
gone a rotten deal in his telling a nation of entitled baby boomers like those leading
the Republican Party had poisoned American society with bad jobs, unbearable women, and
a racially diverse population intent on depriving white people of what they are owed.
Flentes was a charismatic messenger for those grievances delivering them across live streams,
exposed in short video feeds with a casual charm that made him seem approachable and
fun, Ryan said.
But he was also not afraid to turn dark when he needed to, evoking a righteous anger at
the chaos and constant wars of this fake world, Ryan said.
The blame, Flentes said, laid in how the country had tolerated minorities and immigrants
championed Israel and given women the freedom to choose their own lifestyles.
He was like a younger version of me, just much more hostile, Ryan said.
I was like, this guy's saying everything I really feel, but I try not to say out loud
because I just don't want to piss anyone off.
Growing up with the Chicago suburb of LaGrange Park, Fuentes has shown an early fervent interest
in conservative debates in an archive statement on the website of his high school where
he served as a student council president and secretary general of the model United
Nations.
He called himself a classical liberal and an objective is fucking nerd.
He wrote that his personal heroes included German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck and Richard
M. Nixon and declared his life philosophy, hunt or be hunted.
In his first years in international relations with political science student at Boston University,
he gained a small following for his pro-Trump YouTube channel, building on the skills he'd
learned working on a high school TV show.
In 2017, when he was 18, his profile grew further after he attended a white supremacist
rally in Charlottesville, United, where a neo-Nazi rammed his car into a crowded
counter protest killing a woman named Heather Hire and injuring dozens of other people.
went viral on social media for his posts in the rallies after Matt championing the rise of a
tidal wave of white identity that elites will not be able to stop.
Fuentes dropped out of college shortly after blaming online threats and the liberal climate
on campus he began working full-time on theory anti-immigration speeches and posing right-wing
content online. He went from conservative values to very deep to the right Bill Allen,
a supervisor at TV Services of Fuentes High School reportedly told Chicago Tribune in 2017.
Quentes has said his father is part Mexican and his parents are vaguely conservative like boomers
are but they rejected some of his more extreme beliefs including that Hitler was right and
the Holocaust didn't happen as Fuentes said on one stream. He and his family remain closed.
They had just gotten dinner at a steakhouse near the mall he told viewers last month but
they are not without their disagreements. Fuentes said his father last month asked him
to reconsider selling a swastika and blazing t-shirt. Dad does the whole point it's edgy,
he said, he replied, Fuentes' parents did not respond or request for comment.
Oh, God. It's so crazy that there are Americans who unironically think the hammer as sickle is
the equivalent of this, by the way, byproduct of liberal American education. And there are even
more or not more, there are even a significant amount. Hassan, get ready to be the next Secretary
of Defense. First, fifth world country. My ideal government, President Marco Rubio, VP
Hazaldin, Secretary of State Kamala Harris, Secretary of Defense and Sampaiger Health
sector, our future, your speaker, the house Gretchen Whitmer. How does this cabinet work, man?
Anyway, whatever, this is a, this is a sad, sad, sad state of affairs.
There's
Jesus Christ the ova and what American is this helping?
Besides the war
The industrial war complex what a man what American what hard work what guy who's trying to take care of
Of his family or a single mother who's a nurse who's going to work
has to get home and get to her kids ball game and and has to be both parents
what what farmers is helping what regular person is this helping I just
don't know I don't understand so yeah that's what that's what uh that's what
our president's up to and it's fucking baffling and it's sick and it feels
like he's just been compromised by Israel by this this dark government over
there. And I don't know. It's fucking dark.
The article gets really sad at the end. This woman donated him over 1000
times. I believe until literally the week she died of cancer that went to
said he'd go to her funeral and didn't.
That's crazy.
By the way, did you see this crazy numbers?
Um, yeah, I mean this is an entire complex, dude.
Yeah, if you're a kick streamer, they have an entire, they have entire Discord servers
dedicated to this shit.

I don't even know what Jim's skin is.
is Jim skin is the only guy here who is decent. Are you going to cover the info war is news?
Yeah, Info Wars has been officially bought by the onion
Our swimmer from the UK seems to be a genuinely good guy from clips you would love Jim skin
All done
Follow that tune hold on a minute. Sorry in here, mate
Set the shoulder
Oh, I needed that. Let's roll. Oh, I needed that. He encourages chatters to just like
be cool to old people and actually talk to them and stuff like that. Nice. Yeah. Info
wars has been officially purchased by the onion. The onion has successfully landed
a deal to take over the other channel site after 17 months of legal issues. Tim
Tom Heidecker will serve as the site's creative director.
Incredible work.
It's gay now.
The graphic was from this video.
All right, have you?
Oh, it's Devin Nash.
I haven't seen Devin Nash in a minute.
Is he still homies with sex past any?
Of course, probably.
He used to be back in the day I don't know if he still is probably and maybe he isn't
Um, anyway, where were we?
All right.
Uh, we got the problem with the son, Piker's Einstein story, which I thought was really
funny. Yeah. Rosenberg wrote a whole fucking post about this. Apparently he's like college
thesis was on Einstein and Zionism. And you know what's really funny about it? I'm right.
Like everything that I brought up on pot save America was correct. And even his own, uh,
here, pot save America appearance, opposite case in point, while discussing his personal,
uh, opposition to Israel's finding, um, founding Parker Marshalls and unexpected
albert i sign my assessment of zionism is an ideology is not that different
round but i signed assessment of zionism
he tells the college on favor of the jewish physicist piker says was actually
actually the first president israel but i signed piker's account had a sale
the israeli project from the start
he saw the violence of the early zionist brigades were engaging in before
the idea of existence before israeli's is and wrote about what zionism was
turning into
and he warned that what he was seeing was exactly what the nazis were doing
most listeners probably took little notice of this historical rift favor it
is not remark on it but for me it was a flashing neon sign
I wrote my undergraduate thesis about Einstein's relationship with Judaism and Zionism,
pouring over the relevant documents in three languages on two continents.
And just about every bit of Piker's pot of portrayal is either misleading or false.
Okay. Far from an opponent of the Zionist endeavor, Einstein assisted it for decades.
In 1921, he raised money. Notice how every single thing that he talks about with respect
Einstein's support for Zionism leads to 1947, which is when I brought up Einstein's criticisms
after the Deir Yassin massacre. Okay. I did not bring up his previous support for Zionism
or like fundraising initiatives in the 20s and whatnot. In 23 delivered a guest lecture,
Well, all the stuff doesn't matter, right?
Um, it, uh, I sat wrote to Indian prime minister, uh, Nehru in 1947 and attempted
persuad him to support the movement in 1951.
The physicists hosted David Bangu, an Israel's founding prime minister at his
home in Princeton, New Jersey when Weisman died.
Then next year, Bangu and offered a position to Einstein who declined writing
that he was deeply moved by the offer from our state of Israel.
And it was sad and ashamed.
I cannot accept it.
And Tori C absin mine and professor explained, I like both a natural
aptitude and the experience of dealing properly with people and exercise official functions.
Shortly before his death, he told an interviewer that he had great hopes.
Okay. For the future of the Jewish state, he even planned to deliver a speechmark in the
seventh anniversary, blah, blah, blah, blah, but died the days before he could deliver it.
He decreed his value of paper to the rights and likeness to Hebrew University.
Okay. Yeah. At no point did Einstein support the creating of the state of Israel and Palestine
at the expense of the natives. Exactly. Which was my point. And what's crazy about what
Jerry Rosenberg is saying is that he knows this. He briefly alludes to it right here,
which was my point. Okay. None of this is to say, Einstein was an uncritical booster
of the Zionist project. On the contrary, he was a sharp public antagonist of the
Israeli, right? This ideological orientation was likely another reason Einstein turned
down the ceremony or the country's presidency, which is meant to be nonpartisan. He was also
a deeply reluctant nationalist before Israel was founded. Einstein advocated for a shared
state for Jews and Arabs writing in 1946 that what we can and should ask is for a secured
by national status in Palestine with free immigration. Okay, which is literally the
point I was making. It's what I said. And he straight up turns around has the audacity
say you don't understand is more complicated he was actually still in
support okay but that's not what Israel turned into is it my argument was my
opinion on Israel and Zionism is not that different than Einstein's opinion on
Israel and Zionism a project that was supposed to offer a refuge to a
people that were destroyed by pogroms and then also the Holocaust but it
turned into something unbelievably violent a a uh...
at the religious supremacist project that exterminated
the native population
and what's interesting about that is
i'd stand also saw that and literally talked about it so what the fuck is the
problem
Anyway, but once Israel was established, our side supporters continued to exist while assisting
that its ultimate success depended on the pursuit of peace and fair treatment of the
land's Arab inhabitants.
International policies in the Middle East should be dominated by efforts to secure
peace for Israel and its neighbors.
wrote in the draft of his deathbed speech. Okay. It's so funny. Anyway, this link opens
the world as I see it on the section of working on Palestine? There's a letter that he wrote,
specifically after the initial atrocities that Zionist brigades were committing,
that straight up say that the early Zionist brigades, before the IDF was created,
which by the way, Yair Rosenberg famously does not mention here in his article for some weird
reason I don't know why because I quoted it almost verbatim here's a letter okay
dear sir when the real and final catastrophe should befall us in Palestine the first responsible
for it would be the British and the second responsible for it the terrorist organizations
built up from our own ranks I am not willing to see anybody associated with those misled
and criminal people sincerely yours, Albert fucking Einstein.
He sent this to Mr.
Shepard Rifkin, executive director of American Friends of the Fighters for the Freedom of Israel.
On April 10th, 1948.
Wait, he doesn't have it here, right? He doesn't... Yeah, he even hyperlinks this article, I'm pretty
sure. Wait, was it this article? This is the article that he hyperlinks in the story, right?
Was it this one?
Hook and others.
Mr. Bain and his followers denounced this terrace.
Yeah.
Okay.
Dr. Einstein, Professor Sidney Hook and 19 other scholars and teachers joined yesterday
in a public statement denouncing the Freedom Party of Israel led by Menachem Bain, who
who is now visiting the United States as one that until recently openly preached a doctrine
of a fascist state.
At the same time, Nahum Guttman, a spokesman for the American Trade Union Council for
the Histhodrut announced that Philip Murray, president of the Congress and industrial organizations
that informed the council that he had not authorized the use of his name as a member
of the reception committee of a thousand for Mr. Beggin.
In the statement signed by Doctors Einstein Hook and others, Mr. Beggin and his followers
denounced as terrorists who exacted a heavy tribute from the population and whose goal
was a leader state. Within the Jewish community, they have preached an admixture of ultra-nationalism,
religious mysticism, and racial superiority, the statement asserted. Like other fascist
parties, they have been used to break strikes and have themselves pressed for the destruction
of free trade unions. In their stead, they have proposed corporate unions on the
Italian fascist model.
Perhaps there's a reason why Jerry Rosenberg had to like really beef up his argument with
everything that Einstein said and did leading up to like, you know, the late 40s.
And ironic because like this guy is a celebrated author at the Atlantic.
I'm a fucking random Twitch streamer trying to recall this information off the top of my
dome on a podcast appearance.
And he had, this is something that he wrote his dissertation on.
He should be able to fucking destroy me in the marketplace of ideas.
It makes no sense.
Einstein is Zionism.
He's for Jewish homeland, but not a separate state.
Having appeared as witness before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry established in 1945 to
consider the issue of Jewish immigration to Palestine, Einstein reviews and explains
his testimony.
He went solely as to act in favor of our just cause.
He says he believes in Palestine as a Jewish homeland, but not as a separate state.
feels the Zionist by asking for more are taking an intransient intransigent
position, which will only damage our cause. What he would like to see is a
secured by national status in Palestine with free immigration, adding that it
defies common sense to ask to be given the political rule over Palestine where
two-thirds of the population are not Jewish.
It's actually unbelievable. It's unbelievable that he advanced this
caused this argument.
Not that it fucking matters by the way, Einstein could have been an ultra Zionist, who gives
this shit, you know what I mean? Like, Kroger is making one additional argument about the silliness of
calling critics of Israel and its critics of Zionism anti-Semitic. Using one example, there's plenty
of even better modern examples of Israeli Jews who are anti-Zionist themselves.
Yeah, funny how Hosberg groups always mention Einstein's support of a Jewish homeland without ever explaining what Einstein actually believed about Zionism.
Yeah, this is the letter.
I should add you're Rosenberg and be like, you seen this?
You seeing this big dog?
I guess the whole point is, you know, Einstein is like, like a liberal darling, which is funny
because he was an about socialist like openly socialist wrote about it.
And if you just think about him as a socialist who believed in a totally different vision
of Israel than what it actually became, all of a sudden, this, this, this historical
figure that you hold great respect for is kind of in a position where they're complaining
about you, and they would be ashamed to see what your worldview is.
I mean, not dissimilar to the assessment by liberals on the likes of Martin Luther King
Jr. as well.
Always diluting the message.
Always doing their very best to present them as like toothless and, you know, doing whatever
they can to present them at not at odds with their worldview. Look at that. Hold on. What's
that? What's that chat? It's been a long time. So I don't even know if it'll work. You know what
I'm saying, compiling shaders, pragmatah.
Is gaming actually back for real for reels?
Is that even possible by God?
Is that that gaming music?
Ain't no fucking way, right?
Hold on, I gotta pee.

I'm going to go back to the

But there was a lolly fan who tried to complain, who tried to complain about how Capcom was
like censoring the game.
And Capcom went and got that person banned, which is fucking beast mode, okay?
And I'm glad that they did it.
And they should do it more often.
I think video game companies should do it more often.

Okay, so we're scientists astronauts in space. Is this scary chat? Is this a scary game chat?
Yes, it's very scary, LeMau. Yes, is a horror space survivor. Wait, well, fuck, really?
If you're scared of failing as a parent...
I am scared of responsibility. I'm terrified of having to take care of a child.

Now what do you want to know?
Okay, so let's say you can print almost anything. I heard this stuff. It makes bricks easy. So
It seems crazy. They're printing something that big
You're right. Limb products tend to be on the delicate side, but it's just cheaper to rebuild something than to improve its quality.
Wait, you saying this place could just collapse at any second?
Come on, man. You know better than that. They wouldn't skimp on safety standards.
Capitalism, yes they would.
It's cheaper to rebuild. Let me clarify. Buildings are made with a specialized replicator.
And that means what exactly?
Lunafillament is combined with other materials and stability is improved at the cost of complexity.
So it's a model that only handles construction?
Bingo. Any other questions?
No, thanks though. Huh, wasn't as tricky as I thought.
Oh, so maybe you can explain it next time.
Alright, where am I going?

Don't trust this motherfucker at all, bro. What went down here long ass neck
We're gonna be sending most of the people here back to earth soon anyway, just leave everything up to AI
Yeah, and then they send us when the thing needs fixing
It's like I always say, you can't trust a bot.
I don't know.
Kind of like this one.
Can't trust a bot!

We can ride the rail all the way to the tower
What do you think it's not even that far?
Hey
Diana
See this spot? You think we can get here in one piece?
Uh, yes, you wouldn't know that, would you?
Nope, but I have an idea.
Really?
Yeah, we'll go and if you don't get hurt, that means it's safe. Let's go.

Is this Japanese dead space?
Yeah, jump dodge.
Wait, what do I do here?
Easy.

Wait, what is that thing?
What is that?
What does that do?
Okay, we gotta go here I think.
It disables the lasers?
Chet, why are you spamming, you're so good at gaming.
This is so str- look at this, bro.
Half of these motherfuckers are like 9 month subscribers.
What is happening?
ammo is scarce, be efficient and utilize hacking plus headshots for higher damage output
especially when fighting multiple enemies.
Is this positive reinforcement? Like, I don't understand.
A normal subscriber has never seen a new game before?
Oh my god, that's probably true.
to let the walkers handle it well i mean there's still plenty of work that only a human can do
like thinking about new innovations or new business trenches to explore but anyway enough
slacking time to get back to crunching those lab results
i don't even need to repair a kit because i'm so go at it
What is this?
Oh, nothing there.
I bet that's a unlockable trait, right?
I cooked his ass.
Oh, what the fuck, ow.
That's one.
Upgrade.
Upgrade component.
What do you know, baby?
This makes no damn sense. You know so much yet so little.
Okay, I'm cooking these fools, bro.
Like low-key, low-curt.
I'm cooking these fools.
Escape hatches, emergency exit, alarm, travel tune from the shelter, leads to...
Let's go, Hasan.
You can do it.
Okay, guys.
Stop spamming.
Now you're mid a game. The baby is cheering for violence and bloodshed and
you're teaching it to take a life. That's true.
Dude, look at this. Look at this shit. What the fuck is happening? I've watched
you daily for almost a year and a half. This is the second or third game stream.
Why are people so weird about this game?
People aren't weird about this game in particular in my community.
They're just weird about gaming because I never game.
So what in the brief moments that I do, you know, as you probably noticed 10,000 people
will leave and then the remaining 20,000 will be extra weird about it forever.
The war has broken our brains.
I'm scared, Hoss. Gaming frogs don't know how to act. They act weird.
Okay.
Wait, did I touch it?
No.
Alright, I cleared it, right?
Wait, how the fuck- oh, it's a platformer too.
Oh, shit. I didn't even realize that there's a platforming component to this game. I thought
it was just a baby game. Oh, new gun. Let's go. Let's go. Okay, that's fire. That's fire.
Is it a shotgun?
Whoa, what the fuck?
Oh
I lost my weapon. Did I fuck that up? Should I have used the grip gun?
Our one is Dodge. So bad. Okay, calm down first of all.
Let's heal.
Okay, how do I get out of here?
That's two.
How the hell do I get out of here?
You can jump over the stops.
Hello.
Uh, yeah.
Look at that.
Oh shit, I went up already, I didn't even realize cause Kaia got here.
Retissery chicken time.
How do you mark objectives?
Oh, it just automatically marks?
Shit.
Oh, I thought it dies, did it? Oops.
You can air dash if you dodge in the air. Okay good to know whoa another gun down
there bro there's a massive platforming component here it seems oh shit I can
get that. Oh fuck it. I know baby. I know. I know boss baby.
I was going to be safe there.
Two more to go!
Hack the world. Hack the planet.
Why don't you ever wear your real daughter as a fairy backpack? You mean Kaia? Too heavy.
Tactically, the farm's a spherical electromagnetic net.
It expands on impact and mobilize the enemies.
Oh.

Do you mind if I be looked down by this area? I was going to say.
That's uh... how many now?
That was four! One more to go!
Oh shit. Oh what the fuck?
Oh shit.
Oh shit.
No!
Ah!
What the fuck?
Why isn't it- oh!
Cause it's not hacked.
Wait, didn't work?
Oh I died.
Oh my god, was that one tap?
Okay, well, that'll do it for today.
Hack first, shoot second.
