[00:01:30] You

[00:07:30] You

[00:10:00] The left's new golden-boyed Twitch streamer doesn't even try to hide it.

[00:10:17] Thirty-four-year-old Hassan Piker not only hates America, he's hinting at a civil war.

[00:10:22] A noted far-left influencer is declaring the Republican Party the biggest terrorist on

[00:10:28] earth.

[00:10:29] Hassan Piker is unapologetic for his controversial comments on a range of issues.

[00:10:34] An anti-American far left commentator who is named Hassan Piker.

[00:10:38] Now that he's being highlighted, Democrats are flocking to him.

[00:10:42] She's not out there on Hassan Piker's show, for example, right?

[00:10:46] The man to his left is a very controversial guy.

[00:10:50] Hassan Piker insults just about everyone.

[00:10:52] If you go back and listen to some of the things that he says, Carl, this guy's not going to wear well.

[00:10:58] Their so-called Joe Rogan of the Left, Hassan Piker, is back in the headlines this time for calling Republicans terrorists.

[00:11:06] Piker has a controversial history and we've been showing you this all week.

[00:11:10] You don't give somebody like Hassan Piker this kind of attention, this kind of platform.

[00:11:14] It only rewards the kind of rhetoric that I just described.

[00:11:16] Hundreds of students lined up and packed into these rallies and they ate up the anti-war, anti-capitalist, and anti-establishers.

[00:11:24] What's going on, everybody?

[00:11:25] That's him, the Sonpiker.

[00:15:05] bit of invincible, went to sleep, hung out with the family.

[00:15:10] And then afterwards, I, afterwards I woke up early, got on a plane, flew to San Francisco.

[00:15:28] One of you was on the flight.

[00:15:31] One of you crazies came up to me on the flight and was like, oh, I'll be at the rally later,

[00:17:07] literally taking creep shots of you on Flies now, it's not just Laura Loomer who I have

[00:17:16] to worry about taking creep shots of me.

[00:17:18] There's also obviously a lot of right wing elements within the Democratic Party as well,

[00:17:24] I will be talking about in a second.

[00:17:32] Pokemon points her lights at the wall and they use the reflection, it's a lot smoother

[00:17:47] I'll let March know that he doesn't know his, he doesn't know what he's doing.

[00:18:32] Okay.

[00:18:36] And therefore I'm everywhere.

[00:18:38] Home is everywhere.

[00:18:43] Well, I travel less after the midterms.

[00:22:44] accent grinnage

[00:22:49] twelve articles since yesterday law jesus christ

[00:22:58] oppose israel democrats he sent a control within reach book some big hurdles

[00:23:03] remain

[00:23:04] big hurdle is me has on piker times of israel fighting for attention park

[00:23:07] as a stocking average

[00:23:09] when naming names isn't picking a fight us

[00:23:12] house to consider resolution to them in his on piker and can is owns desert

[00:23:15] news of the wrong were exposed a generational divide

[00:23:18] in u.s.

[00:23:20] israel relations

[00:23:21] the atlantic

[00:23:22] trump shows he still got juice

[00:23:25] new york times michigan's combative democratic senate primary heats up

[00:23:29] walsh journal mom donnie and the anti-semites

[00:23:36] the nineteen thirties called they want a song piker back democrats go to nazi

[00:23:40] tattoo, not the only option. Oh my God, this guy just can't stay home. Yeah, I'm spreading

[00:23:48] my anti-Semitism like the gospel everywhere I go.

[00:23:52] A deplorable subscribes to the New York Times, American thinker SF Gate, left-wing streamer

[00:23:57] muscling his way into California politics. I was going to read this. I read this article.

[00:24:01] Abdullah said in the decline of the Senate from the free press, the dispatch anti-Zanism

[00:24:05] is a dead end for Palestinians.

[00:24:08] Hassan Piker, Ayatollah, finally, not a negative article,

[00:24:12] an article that I actually conducted,

[00:24:15] you know, an article that I did personally

[00:24:18] with Wired Magazine.

[00:24:19] This one was really funny.

[00:24:21] Hassan Piker self-described,

[00:24:22] Ayatollah of Woke wants AI to die.

[00:24:25] Deseret News is a Mormon publication. Wait, really?

[00:24:37] Haaretz, a desperate APEC misdiagnosis of the source of US's Israel popularity.

[00:24:41] E. Jewish Philanthropy at Milken Conference. Jewish leaders found

[00:24:45] sound alarm on social media's role in anti-Semitism surge. ABC and the New

[00:24:48] York Times normalized the left call for violence, daily color.

[00:24:51] Who heads to the guillotine first in the Cultural Revolution? New York Post.

[00:24:55] Republicans have been winning midterm message within their grasp. That is, fuck Hassan. I assume that's what they're saying

[00:25:03] Yeah, see Joe Biden routinely presented America's teetering on the brink of fascistic Jim Crow takeover and ever since Biden's exit

[00:25:09] His party has doubled and tripled down on overt anti-americanism by cozying up to the likes of a son biker and coalescing behind kid

[00:25:14] It is like grand platinum

[00:25:16] Dude, it's so funny the New York the the New York Times the right wing

[00:25:21] The right-wingers have nothing. They have no motion. They have no juice like saying I'm anti-American

[00:25:28] Whatever right like that's fine. People say that all the time about me. I'm very critical of America

[00:25:34] I want America to do better and of course that means I obviously despise it right and and wanted to end

[00:25:41] But like to say that about Graham Platner is funny because like I mean the dude was literally a Marine Corps gunner that

[00:25:48] You know did four tours right?

[00:25:50] So like good luck getting the average person to think that you're a feat

[00:25:56] Bicostal elite

[00:25:57] Journalist ass that went to a liberal arts college

[00:26:00] You got a degree and now writes right-wing screeds on New York Post or California Post to to

[00:26:07] From the average person's perspective look more like you're in favor of America than a guy who literally like you know

[00:26:13] Got shot at from the perspective of the average American. It's not gonna work

[00:26:18] Right? Jewish news syndicate, anti-zionists who condemn anti-semitic crimes are gaslighting us,

[00:26:22] Fox News, House Dems, front-runner connections, blindsheik, terrorist trial,

[00:26:26] resurface, drudgery, OP IR, political viruses, one-sided change my mind, USA Today, Los Angeles Times,

[00:26:35] camera, which is a Israeli operation.

[00:26:55] This is not even, dude, the U.S. House of Representatives is not even a news site, it's

[00:26:59] just the U.S. House of Representatives website.

[00:27:08] There's a San Francisco Chronicle article that came out of Sampaiga the joint San Francisco rally for shortcut

[00:27:14] Chaka birdies congressional campaign the backlash has already started

[00:27:18] Yeah

[00:27:21] You are on a Brazilian newspaper dude you piss off it's awesome you you fucking

[00:27:27] you piss off Israel and

[00:27:29] And just the entire like every every news network around the planet is gonna try to grab a piece

[00:27:38] Okay, is this the person behind the anti-assam process? Yeah, I don't know who this person is,

[00:27:53] but I guess, I guess they might be the person responsible for the anti-assam protest, but

[00:28:01] like they got, you know, eight likes. I was telling Betelgeuse the other day,

[00:28:07] But I legit didn't even know those hate protest flowers were about you

[00:28:10] They made the Cardinals and if not mentioning you until the middle of the wall text in nine-point font and assuming people are gonna stop and read that far anyways

[00:28:17] Yeah, I don't know. I didn't just like put my name on it, but also we shouldn't be giving she's a reporter lamout

[00:28:22] Yeah, I don't know what kind of fucking reporting. She's doing

[00:28:26] Because you know

[00:28:30] This is not reporting this is just like you're you're a propagandist at that point, right?

[00:28:37] Also, as if there's a million of those types of actors, posters, no one reads them.

[00:28:49] Yeah.

[00:28:51] I mean, they're trying to make this happen.

[00:28:53] They're trying to make it happen.

[00:28:55] Good luck to them.

[00:28:57] Maybe they'll be able to make it happen.

[00:28:58] I just don't think so, but, you know, it's always good to try, honestly, you know, more

[00:29:05] power to these people, right?

[00:29:06] if you're bored, if you're lonely,

[00:29:08] I mean, you could just like attend the rally

[00:29:10] if you're bored and lonely

[00:29:11] and wanna meet like-minded individuals

[00:29:13] and not like complete shitheads, right?

[00:29:21] But if you're fine with meeting

[00:29:23] some of the worst people on the planet,

[00:29:25] then yeah, go attend the fuck-us-on rally.

[00:29:28] You can be, I mean, if you're genuinely,

[00:29:32] if you're genuinely invested in being around

[00:29:34] a bunch of possible sex offenders, I would go to an anti-Hasan rally. That's usually

[00:29:40] where you find them. I don't know why that's the case, but that's usually how things play

[00:29:51] out. This is weird, but I had a dream that you were injured in a freak accident. I was

[00:30:01] to deliver you a get well soon card and bouquet of flowers not sure what that means about my

[00:30:05] psyche but stay safe king yeah maybe you should not watch as much then a majority report raid

[00:30:19] let's keep going it's not a pro fucking hasan avirally no it's not it's not a rally where you

[00:30:25] get to have sex with me no i've been attending process here in LA and i miss so many cool people

[00:30:31] Yeah

[00:31:01] of

[00:31:08] the

[00:31:10] of

[00:31:12] many bots lam out. Yeah, they're all bots. Everybody that hits the

[00:31:16] motion machine. Hello. They're all bots.

[00:31:21] A midstream big business deal, you got to be kidding me. Yeah,

[00:31:24] that's, that's what I'm doing. I'm doing big business deals so

[00:31:27] frequently that I'm doing it while I'm literally

[00:31:33] that phone call was weirdly scary.

[00:31:36] dog the fuck.

[00:31:42] Anyway, let's keep going. Are you going to shop around and do an IRO before the rally?

[00:31:50] Uh, no, I don't think so. Uh, what is W. The Pope? Where are you? I'm in San Francisco.

[00:31:59] Uh, all right. So like I said, uh, first story before we get to the playlist here, before

[00:32:08] we get to Trump claiming he won the war, even though before we get to all the situation

[00:32:12] monitoring that we will get to later in the day. Let's start off, let's start off here.

[00:32:21] So I'm supposed to be doing a rally with Shoyka Chakrabarty who is running, who is running

[00:32:32] to take over Nancy Pelosi's seat. Wait, what? Ominous note from the CEO, Dan Clancy, on

[00:32:41] ViewBotting? A note on our work to combat ViewBotting from

[00:32:45] CEO Dan Clancy. There's been a lot of discussion recently about

[00:32:48] ViewBotting on Twitch and I wanted to share an update on our

[00:32:50] enforcement efforts. ViewBotting is bad for our business. We

[00:32:52] don't benefit from it and we believe it harms the creator

[00:32:54] ecosystem overall. However, effectively combating ViewBotting

[00:32:57] is challenging. As we deploy updates to our real-time

[00:33:00] detection algorithms, ViewBotting companies quickly respond

[00:33:03] with updates to avoid detection. Also, our detection systems

[00:33:06] must be precise to ensure that legitimate viewers are

[00:33:08] appropriately counted. Today, we're introducing a new

[00:33:11] enforcement type that we plan to roll out over the next few weeks for channels identified as persistently viewbotting

[00:33:15] We will apply cap to the streamer ccv for a fixed period of time on all of the twitch

[00:33:20] Services the capital based upon historical data regarding the creators non view-botted traffic repeated violations will result in longer penalties

[00:33:27] Streamers will be notified when an enforcement is applied along with the duration of the penalty and

[00:33:31] Can appeal through the appeals portal while shimmers will be notified

[00:33:35] We will not make a follow-on

[00:33:36] announcement when we begin issuing these enforcements and will not publicly share details about when and where these enforcements are applied.

[00:33:44] Unfortunately, providing detail simply makes it easier for companies to work around our interventions.

[00:33:48] We believe this approach will help us make meaningful progress against viewbotting.

[00:33:51] We will continue refining our systems and expand when we apply these enforcements over time.

[00:33:57] That's interesting. As you guys know, I'm very much in favor of combating viewbotting as I am.

[00:34:04] them, according to my haters who are the number one trackers of viewbotters, even my haters

[00:34:11] will say I'm out of the top content creators on this platform.

[00:34:14] I'm one of the only top content creators that has never viewbotted and never will viewbot.

[00:34:25] I immediately think, what if someone is getting viewbotted maliciously as a consequence of

[00:34:31] this punitive mechanism though. CCV is concurrent viewership. I'll never forget

[00:34:49] the 3NGK Bot stream, I know.

[00:34:54] I

[00:34:59] Won't people be able to maliciously view bot channels they want to have reduced revenue. I mean none of that shit matters to me

[00:35:07] But yeah, like ex QC is no fan of mine. He's as a matter of fact a hater of mine and yet

[00:35:16] Even he admits that I do not view bot and never have

[00:35:24] There have been instances where people have maliciously, very deliberately and openly view-botted me as I've called it out.

[00:35:36] But it does nothing for me. I don't care. I don't do sponsorships in general.

[00:35:42] I don't run ads in general. I don't run any ads. I don't do sponsorships.

[00:35:47] My community is entirely funded by you the people, for you the people, your subscriptions.

[00:35:54] And that's it.

[00:36:06] So that's the Piker Broadcasting Service.

[00:36:09] Guarantee, no view bots.

[00:36:12] No, no frills.

[00:36:14] All thrills.

[00:36:16] All the time bots and channels that don't want bots get banned. So no people who don't want it or do it won't get punished

[00:36:23] I don't think it works that way

[00:36:25] The thing is consistently view butting someone malicious he's too expensive

[00:36:28] You would have to be a richest fuck hater to maintain that change in the average baseline, buddy. I

[00:36:34] Have some fucking insane haters, but I don't have it

[00:36:36] I should be stream yesterday the Dominican Republic may have been view-botted by alafoka who was with them

[00:36:41] He peaked at 1.9 million concurrent. I don't I don't know if that's the case

[00:36:46] with the reaction in the bag of the what is this

[00:36:48] if jake paul ever actually run for president the only person that is

[00:36:51] going to

[00:36:52] the only by the option to run against him is going to be his on paper is on

[00:36:55] papers and then say i don't want to run for anything here's a thing about me

[00:36:57] first i don't want to have a second of all

[00:36:59] our two socialists

[00:37:00] so are you going to your own desires over what the population needs

[00:37:09] but if he runs it take all runs

[00:37:11] our hand is forced

[00:37:12] We keep showing up to the gunfight with fucking pocket knives.

[00:37:17] It's time to bring out the Smith and Westman.

[00:37:20] First of all, we've already locked in the vote of every woman over 45 regardless of how they've ever voted before.

[00:37:26] It doesn't matter how they had previously voted. Why?

[00:37:28] Because there have been enough...

[00:37:30] Hulu, the Netflix documentaries that these bitches are ready to relive their JFK fantasy?

[00:37:35] Boom.

[00:37:36] Second of all,

[00:37:38] oh yeah, how was he gonna get the man, cause there's gonna be men who say,

[00:37:40] No problem. I got it.

[00:37:42] Here's the campaign strategy for free.

[00:37:47] The NFL Draft. First of all, you're yet.

[00:37:49] You need to understand it.

[00:37:50] But then, you're going to explain to them how it's literally that is socialism.

[00:37:54] Who gets the first round draft pick every year?

[00:37:56] The shittiest team from last year. Why?

[00:37:58] Because it keeps the game interesting.

[00:38:00] It keeps giving everybody, uh, like, trying to give the underdog a chance.

[00:38:05] Evens out the playing field. Okay?

[00:38:07] Okay, imagine Tom Brady won a Super Bowl won a Super Bowl won a Super Bowl

[00:38:11] Imagine if after every year he won a damn Super Bowl they were like well

[00:38:13] He deserves it because clearly he's the best or you know the Patriots

[00:38:17] They're the best team so they deserve to have the first round draft pick because they're obviously the most capable. That's not fair, right?

[00:38:23] That's capitalism

[00:38:26] I'm keep the great not fucking endorse this mess

[00:38:30] That's great fuck Jake Paul. It was Tucker Carlson

[00:38:34] And I know that's a thousand

[00:38:37] still not giving a fall sure is a good point you can probably win a president

[00:38:45] we're just going on a tangent about the NFL draft on the base stage for five

[00:38:48] minutes yeah and and immediately demonstrate my my lack of knowledge on

[00:38:52] this well what the hell Olivia Rodrigo like the Hassan Instagram post from 2018

[00:39:02] did she have Hassanabi head? How did you guys find this shit? And yes, she used to be a Hassanabi

[00:39:11] head. I mean, I don't know if she still is, but yeah, I've talked about this before.

[00:39:32] How do you guys find this stuff? It's crazy. No, she says she doesn't like you anymore.

[00:39:45] I don't know if she has said that, but, but yeah, it is old news, but like, do you guys

[00:39:51] just like go through my old Instagram posts and see which people have become like celebrities

[00:39:56] like omega celebrities in the process? You know, is that how you do it? Like, how do

[00:40:05] you find this stuff? I don't even, I just asked her, she said, you're fine. Hey, it's

[00:40:17] me, Olivia. I used to be a big fan, but I've started watching less because you don't game

[00:40:20] many more. Oh, okay. She said she likes me now, little

[00:40:28] onk. Cool, cool, cool. They just scroll your post and if

[00:40:37] someone they follow follows you, it'll tell them underneath

[00:40:39] the post, it automatically pops up if you're following them.

[00:40:46] Yeah. Yeah, I she she used to literally she used to follow me

[00:40:50] on Twitter too, like openly.

[00:40:52] And then a couple of years ago, yeah, a couple of years ago,

[00:40:57] she did a mass on, she went down to zero follow,

[00:41:00] like the people that she was following went down to zero.

[00:41:03] I think it was like a PR thing.

[00:41:05] And since then there has been no contact or anything

[00:41:10] like that.

[00:41:17] But yeah, she's a OG, she's a OG Hassanabi head

[00:41:19] for many, many, for many, many years.

[00:41:22] But she's with a, she's with a fucking record label.

[00:41:25] Like that's not, you know, record labels are

[00:41:31] check her logs, OMG.

[00:41:33] Yeah, this is definitely her real account.

[00:41:40] October 7th, leave her.

[00:41:42] No, no, no, no, no, not even a little bit.

[00:41:49] Just want to say I'm a bot boss. I'm sorry, but I'm chipped up and bricked up nice Jordan theory

[00:41:57] She on fall on October 8th, unfortunately, that's not I

[00:42:02] Don't know why you guys are doing it Tim Robinson also falls you I think also by the way Pog

[00:42:10] People are adding your old photos of their Wank Bank and finding solicit like your pose. Yeah

[00:42:19] Anyway, where was I? Where was I? Where was I? Please, are these glasses real or not? I am tired of asking.

[00:42:29] Hassan's fake glasses. Yes, of course they're real. I can't fucking see without them. Look.

[00:42:35] I should have never done that I just realized it makes my head look even smaller when I

[00:42:46] do that fuck.

[00:42:55] Emily Radikowski liked your GQ tub pose no she didn't.

[00:43:00] Did she?

[00:43:05] cover the UK before the UK goes to bed. Fucking hell. Dropping the near attendant like evidence

[00:43:18] tomorrow? Sure. Onk, stop, it's bad for us to look through someone else's prescription.

[00:43:26] Yeah, you're blind now. I just ruined your eyesight. That's how it works. It's the same

[00:43:32] is, it's the same as wearing someone else's glasses for a brief moment.

[00:43:38] Yeah, near attended was a house in Abbey Head. Now I'm kidding.

[00:44:02] Anyway, when you come into Ohio, I don't know, not planning on it any time soon.

[00:44:11] Okay, so where do we begin?

[00:44:14] Oh, our story starts with the rally that's supposed to take place later tonight, okay?

[00:44:24] 7 p.m. To 9 p.m. Pacific Time I will be doing a rally

[00:44:31] Change the party with Chakra Barty rally with Shroikha Chakra Barty who's running for Nancy Pelosi's now occupied unoccupied vacant seat

[00:44:41] She's decided not to run again, which is shocking to me.

[00:44:58] I don't know why she did that, but here is the, was there a brief F?

[00:45:05] Is the internet getting busted?

[00:45:07] Interesting.

[00:45:09] interesting. I can verify this to Emily Radikowski like the bathtub pig. I can't see it because

[00:45:24] I don't think I follow Emily Radikowski, but that's nice.

[00:45:29] Anyway, we're back.

[00:45:39] And since then, yeah, if there's any blips happening, obviously, I will say 10 M is real

[00:45:46] highs and fix the situation.

[00:45:49] But yeah, since then, numerous articles have been written and the San Francisco Board of

[00:45:57] Supervisors, the San Francisco Democratic Party has come out.

[00:46:04] This guy, Matt Dorsey, who apparently is one of the most right-wing Democrats in San

[00:46:08] San Francisco, remember, San Francisco Board of Supervisors District 6 has written this

[00:46:18] like crazy screed about how I must be publicly condemned, okay?

[00:46:28] Change the party.

[00:46:29] The Democratic Party, Matt Dorsey writes, call me crazy, but I think pro-terrorist, anti-American,

[00:46:33] anti-Semitic, anti-AAPI misogynist, xenophobic, politically repellent, Hasan Piker fanboys

[00:46:38] should go form their own party and get the F out of ours. Here's my SF Democrats resolution.

[00:46:43] It proposes the one publicly opposed the genocidal jihadist terrorist organization Hamas and

[00:46:47] to reaffirm one of our national democratic platform, party platform planks. That's pretty

[00:46:52] straightforward. If you ask me now it's ironic because it's not straightforward because

[00:46:57] the bill is actually a fuck Hassan Hassanabi, Hamasabi condemnation bill ironically enough.

[00:47:06] But he has to, you know, make it seem like, you know, the opposition that he has to me

[00:47:11] is the democratic pluralism in order for, yeah, xenophobic too now.

[00:47:16] I'm anti-Asian and xenophobic, which I don't know how we arrived at that.

[00:47:22] Former San Francisco Police Department affiliate, Matt Dorsey, recovering addict, who apparently

[00:47:33] may not have had some issues with that.

[00:47:35] You know, that's a journey that I do respect, and it's a journey that I do admire, however

[00:47:39] I don't admire Matt Dorsey.

[00:47:41] I didn't know who the fuck he was.

[00:47:48] But from what I understand in the brief time period that I got to learn of him, he went

[00:47:53] from being a recovering addict to harming recovering addicts as a part of, you know,

[00:48:02] recovering addicts and addicts alike under the bus.

[00:48:06] Now, of course, the real reason,

[00:48:10] and this is not shocking to anyone I hope at this point,

[00:48:13] the real reason why he's fucking complaining about this shit

[00:48:16] is not because there is a significant disagreement

[00:48:20] or he sincerely believes that I'm like a hate monger or anything like that,

[00:48:26] it's because of this.

[00:48:28] Here's Matt Dorsey.

[00:48:29] Zionism is the movement for self-determination and stay here for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland the land of Israel

[00:48:34] That's it. That's what Zionism is in the Middle East

[00:48:37] Israel is America's strongest ally the region's only functional democracy and the safest destination. How how does this always happen?

[00:48:45] How does this always happen whenever people are like I have very significant ideological disagreements?

[00:48:50] It's not just a it's not just Israel. I mean, he's just he's a dangerous Islamist fundamentalist who wants to

[00:48:56] who wants to destroy America and turn it into an Islamic caliphate.

[00:49:01] Whenever people say stuff like that, I'm immediately like, okay.

[00:49:13] Let's go, let's go key search Israel in their previous tweets. It's always Israel.

[00:49:19] It's time to normalize Zionism and acknowledge that Israel's enemies are also Americans,

[00:49:22] America's Israel's, Am Israel's high, American flag, Israeli flag, and then the LGBTQ plus

[00:49:26] flag.

[00:49:27] Huh.

[00:49:28] Huh.

[00:49:29] How did that happen?

[00:49:35] These people are basically servile dogs.

[00:49:40] Okay?

[00:49:41] I'll say it out loud.

[00:49:43] They are fucking servile dogs to Israel.

[00:49:48] They would sell out their immediate family members if it meant getting another paycheck

[00:49:54] from a Zionist organization, okay?

[00:49:58] That's it.

[00:50:00] You are yelling at a fucking guy who wants Medicare for all, who wants a Democratic Party

[00:50:06] to actually fight back against the Republican Party.

[00:50:08] You are not even, you're not even a functioning Democrat at that point.

[00:50:13] And it's the same for Josh Gottheimer too, right?

[00:50:17] Yay, I myself proclaim Zionist too. I support the right of the Jewish people, national self-determination in their historic homeland, the land of Israel, which is all Zionism means.

[00:50:26] I'm also a proud Democrat. The party of President Harry Truman, his recognition of the state of Israel, just, it's like, but this is what I mean.

[00:50:33] Like, these guys would be like, why are you so obsessed with Israel? And then, right shit like this, okay?

[00:50:40] It's like big dog. You can't say I'm obsessed with Israel

[00:50:45] When there is no other country that you would behave like this for okay? I

[00:50:51] Don't ever want to think about Israel for the rest of my fucking life

[00:50:54] It would be a beautiful beautiful world to live in if I didn't that didn't have to think about Israel, but unfortunately it's

[00:51:02] Servile dogs in American politics

[00:51:06] Do their very best to make sure it's always top of mind?

[00:51:11] Okay

[00:51:13] And for the record goat

[00:51:16] The goat giddy on levy also wrote son is and didn't go wrong. It was always built this way

[00:51:21] Of course, you will never see an op-ed like this in a Western newspaper and

[00:51:27] Someone who says stuff like this me a son house on Abbey piker consistently gets considered called a fucking

[00:51:33] rabid anti-Semite a virulent anti-Semite for this exact take

[00:51:38] Okay?

[00:51:50] Dorsey criticizes the city's harm reduction approach to drug use

[00:51:54] Calling for mass arrests of drug users in the South market neighborhood and placing them in a compulsory detox and treatment in 2025

[00:51:59] Instring position interesting position for recovering drag a drug addict to take. Yeah, I mean these guys sell everything out

[00:52:05] That's why I always say Israel's a pretty good fucking litmus test

[00:52:10] Okay

[00:52:12] If you are gonna dick ride a foreign country this hard, then yeah, you have no principles

[00:52:18] You have no values you're bought and paid for okay

[00:52:22] You could literally be a fucking recovering drug addict and sell out recovering drug addicts

[00:52:27] ruin their lives further with

[00:52:29] with unbelievably draconian policies that you implement.

[00:52:33] That's why I say Israel's a pretty fucking reliable litmus test.

[00:52:37] That's why I also say whenever you hear people chirp at me,

[00:52:41] from any angle, not just, like back in the day,

[00:52:44] there were different angles, right?

[00:52:46] It was a pretty good metric.

[00:52:47] It was a pretty reliable metric to see if someone is,

[00:52:53] if, what do you call it?

[00:52:57] Back in the day, it was a pretty reliable metric

[00:52:58] see if someone is actually a right-winger, like how much they obsess over me, whatever.

[00:53:03] Nowadays, it's not just right-wingers, it's liberals as well.

[00:53:11] And it is basically, I've become this figurehead for people who lose their minds over defending

[00:53:23] this unbelievably unpopular

[00:53:29] ethno state

[00:53:30] that has done a genocide

[00:53:33] go key search israel gaza genocide in the profiles of my naysayers

[00:53:39] annual very quickly realize like the overwhelming majority almost like

[00:53:43] fucking ninety nine percent

[00:53:45] ninety nine percent of them

[00:53:48] are pro-israel

[00:53:50] it's it's incredible

[00:53:53] And they don't have like a normal approach to the subject either.

[00:53:56] They lose their fucking minds.

[00:53:58] They will go to lengths that I've never even experienced before in an effort to try and

[00:54:05] smear me, smear this movement, attack this movement in general, attack anyone associated

[00:54:12] with people like ourselves.

[00:54:20] I don't know what else to say.

[00:54:23] I said buddy if I was any of those things you'd be courting my vote as a moderate swing voter

[00:54:28] My position on Israel is not just the overwhelming majority position of the Democrats. It's the majority position in the country

[00:54:35] Okay, and of course a lot of people got frustrated with that

[00:54:53] I'm anti-Israel and I just hate you for the love of the game. Yeah, the only people who are anti-Israel who hate me are

[00:55:04] either neo-Nazis or the the Ultras like the the mega-communists who are in my opinion just opportunists for the most part.

[00:55:14] They will align with anyone and everyone like Andrew Tate or any of these like

[00:55:20] unbelievably reactionary conspiracy theorists in an effort to try to brand

[00:55:26] themselves as like outside of the box thinkers and shit like that. Those are the

[00:55:32] only people who like sincerely claim to hate Israel but also genuinely have a

[00:55:37] lot of hate for me as well in their hearts.

[00:55:44] But it's over. This is Kurt Mills from American Conservative Magazine. A Pew Research Center

[00:55:52] survey in March found that 57% of Republicans under 50 have an unfavorable view of Israel.

[00:56:00] It is now the majority of Republicans under the age of 50 as well. It's over. It's never

[00:56:07] been more over than it is right now. But these guys won't stop trying to punish critics of Israel.

[00:56:16] Anyway, so San Francisco, your call out of Obama did very well with Blue Sky Liberals. Oh, hell yeah.

[00:56:24] Wait, 1,600 likes, that's good. That's very well.

[00:56:28] It's really crazy how this is considered an extreme take.

[00:56:42] We'll be checking out our dark, dark, dark woke general on blue sky.

[00:56:49] That's good.

[00:56:50] Okay.

[00:56:51] Anyway, so San Francisco Chronicle wrote about this.

[00:56:57] a Sompiker to join SF Rally for Shoyka Chakrabati's congressional campaign, the backlash has already

[00:57:02] started. Sompiker, popular but controversial left-wing political commentator, is scheduled

[00:57:06] to join San Francisco Congressional candidate Shoyka Chakrabati for a Thursday rally to boost

[00:57:10] campaign to succeed Representative Nancy Pelosi. I think I brick a lot of people's brains, by the way.

[00:57:18] And I think part of the reason why I brick a lot of people's brains is because

[00:57:21] Because while the things that I say are unbearably woke, which Democrats fucking hate, because

[00:57:29] they're right-wing corporate-centrist Democrats who will never actually advance left-wing

[00:57:38] economic populism, so they think they should just concede on the culture war stuff and

[00:57:43] become more like the Republican Party because they assume that that is the only popular

[00:57:47] way to win over support.

[00:57:50] So they'll literally say, I'm too fucking woke.

[00:57:53] But then the way I talk and the way I look is not very woke.

[00:57:58] The way I carry myself and the language

[00:58:01] that I communicate with is oftentimes even vulgar.

[00:58:05] It's very passionate.

[00:58:06] And therefore they will turn around and be like,

[00:58:10] he's actually not woke.

[00:58:11] So on the one hand, they'll be like,

[00:58:12] oh, this guy's too woke for the Democrats.

[00:58:14] On the other hand, they'll say,

[00:58:17] he's an unbelievably racist guy.

[00:58:19] He's a really racist guy, he's really fucked up, he doesn't issue trigger warnings before

[00:58:26] he uses vulgar language, it's like, okay, so which is it?

[00:58:30] Am I woke or am I fucking right wing?

[00:58:33] Am I too woke and I'm pulling the Democratic Party in a too woke direction?

[00:58:38] Or am I not woke at all, which is something that you demanded the Democrats actually lean

[00:58:45] into, right?

[00:58:46] So which is it?

[00:58:56] The backlash from Chakrabarty's opponents has already begun, led by San Francisco lawmaker

[00:58:59] who says Piker has now placed in the Democratic Party because it has passed in seniority

[00:59:02] comments.

[00:59:03] Piker's social media channel has led millions of followers, has emerged as a divisive figure

[00:59:05] in the Democratic politics in recent years.

[00:59:07] Jewish groups have moderate Democrats have condemned his remarks about Israel, 9-11 American

[00:59:10] imperialism, and Asian immigrants.

[00:59:11] Still, progressive candidates in close race around the country have welcomed Piker's

[00:59:14] support in recent years, including a competitive congressional primary in Michigan this year.

[00:59:18] Chakra Bharti, a wealthy former tech engineer running a progressive campaign to replace Pelosi,

[00:59:22] is betting Piker Sport will endear him to his legion of online followers. The pair have already

[00:59:26] posted multiple videos together chatting about policy and sharing takeout in the popular Arabic

[00:59:30] restaurant, Bait Reema. Thursday's change to party rally will be the first joint public appearance.

[00:59:35] Other candidates endorsed by Justice Democrats, Progressive Political Group co-founded by Chakra

[00:59:39] Bharti that works to help insurgent progressives and democratic primaries will also appear at the

[00:59:43] the event.

[00:59:44] Chakra Bharti has been critical of how the Democratic Party has responded to President

[00:59:49] Donald Trump and called for party leaders to move in a more progressive direction.

[00:59:53] What Chakra Bharti's critics and opponents have criticized him for courting Piker's

[00:59:56] support on Wednesday, Supervisor Matt Dorsey said he plans to submit a resolution to his

[00:59:59] colleagues on the governing board of the San Francisco Democratic Party condemning Piker's

[01:00:03] vile, wildly divisive, widely condemned rhetoric and urging Chakra Bharti to clarify if and

[01:00:08] how his views differ from Piker's.

[01:00:11] the resolution received support from majority of party board leaders it would reject any

[01:00:14] effort to change our democratic party into a movement that accommodates in any way or

[01:00:17] condones the samba is the vice-brand of anti-american anti-semitic anti-a-p-i terrorist coddling

[01:00:21] hate espousing misogynist xenophobic obscene politically repellent viewpoints the party

[01:00:26] board won't convene to vote on the resolution until later this month but dorsi said in a

[01:00:31] text message to chronicle that he felt it necessary to elevated sooner rather than later

[01:00:35] he's like this is we have to get this done right now

[01:00:39] This is the number one priority for San Francisco Democrats.

[01:00:43] You understand?

[01:00:44] It's not about the imminent housing crisis and probably the more longstanding approach

[01:00:51] to combating homelessness in the city.

[01:00:55] It's not addressing the inflation crisis that harms many people in San Francisco.

[01:01:01] It's actually the fact that this fucking Twitch streamer hurts my feelings and I can't stand

[01:01:06] it.

[01:01:07] You know, he he's been very mean to my emotional support apartheid state doing a genocide. He's been very mean to Israel

[01:01:14] So we're just gonna fucking yell at him anti API cooked for using swagapino. No, no, it's because I there was that one reactionary

[01:01:24] Maga supporter that was Vietnamese

[01:01:26] If you recall and I was like suck my dick old lady

[01:01:30] I don't give a fuck what your background is or something like that and she was like, oh, I love Donald Trump

[01:01:34] Donald Trump is gonna save this country in the 2020 election. How the fuck did they find a video that they clipped out of context from the

[01:01:41] 2020 election, by the way, when I was loudly in support of Joe Brandon

[01:01:46] against Donald Trump ironically enough. These guys are Democrats by the way

[01:01:53] Yeah, Matt Dorsey was tweeting about Richard Hananya's book two weeks ago every single one of these fucking loser freaks

[01:02:00] love Richard Hananya, an actual white supremacist. Not me, an actual white

[01:02:06] supremacist, a race realist, okay? But Richard Hananya is pro-Israel and Richard

[01:02:12] Hananya is no longer as openly supportive of the Republican Party because

[01:02:16] you realize the Robins are fucking idiots and he realizes he could just like

[01:02:20] lean into the dumbass fucking liberals who will eat this shit up. They'll be like,

[01:02:25] oh, you wrote extensively about the genetic inferiority of black people but

[01:02:29] You're also pro-Israel and pro-liberal Democratic Party now. Well, guess what?

[01:02:35] You're fine in my book

[01:02:41] Richard Hananya who helped write project 2025 these Democrats are aligned with Richard Hananya

[01:02:48] But they hate me

[01:02:50] So who do they really represent? The same thing goes for Scott Weiner by the way

[01:02:54] He said the exact same bullshit Scott Weiner went on Richard Hananya's podcast

[01:02:59] Again, a guy who is literally not only an active white supremacist or race realist, but a guy

[01:03:09] who has defended Jeffrey Epstein.

[01:03:10] This is Richard Hananya.

[01:03:12] And yet, these Democrats do not shy away from associating with Richard Hananya, but on the

[01:03:19] other hand, condemn me.

[01:03:22] Very interesting.

[01:03:25] That's the only litmus test that they're applying is whether they're pro-Israel or not.

[01:03:37] In any case, let's continue.

[01:03:39] Dorsey said he's worried about the party's future, but he doesn't want the solution to

[01:03:42] mean elevating toxicity and divisiveness, as he believes Sharkabardi is doing that by

[01:03:45] featuring Parker at the rally.

[01:03:47] When I see somebody who's endeavoring to change the Democratic Party with principles that

[01:03:50] are just anathema to what our party is about and what could be really destructive to our

[01:03:54] ability to ever win a majority in this country. I think we have to call that out, Dorsey said.

[01:04:00] Tiffany Bradley, a spokesman for the Charlie Barthes campaign, responded,

[01:04:02] Dorsey's resolution in a statement Wednesday, voters are facing dire crises,

[01:04:05] including rising costs of war and erosion of their civil rights by an authoritarian government,

[01:04:08] she said. And the Democratic Party is failing to respond to this crisis,

[01:04:11] pulling at some of its lowest numbers in decades. The only option we have left

[01:04:14] is to use the Democratic process to change our party. So if you see a rally of Democrats

[01:04:18] trying to inspire people to get involved as a threat, then you're part of the problem,

[01:04:20] Bradley said, boom, no notes, fantastic statement. In April, the Republican National Committee

[01:04:28] resurfaced videos in which Piper expressed irritation with first-generation, second-generation,

[01:04:31] third-generation Asian people who are dogs the white people. Supervisor Connie Chan,

[01:04:36] another candidate running against Charcot-Barty who was born in Hong Kong, condemned the rhetoric

[01:04:39] in a statement at the time. It is disappointing. Yeah, I was talking about Asian people who are

[01:04:44] being used in the anti-affirmative action decision, by the way.

[01:04:50] Think about that.

[01:04:51] Think about how fucking annoying this is.

[01:04:54] That's anti-Asian, really?

[01:04:56] That's anti-Asian?

[01:04:57] That I'm fucking shitting on?

[01:04:59] I'm shitting on people that are presenting themselves as reasonable critics, Asian critics

[01:05:11] of DEI and affirmative action, really?

[01:05:14] Yeah, don't be a fucking slave to white people then like what do you mean don't advance white supremacy?

[01:05:23] It's that fucking simple. Why are you? Why is this in any way shape or form? Why is that sentiment considered?

[01:05:33] Anti-Asian

[01:05:35] You know what's actually anti-Asian?

[01:05:37] Anti-fucking affirmative action initiatives and anti DEI initiatives. That's what's fucking anti-Asian

[01:05:42] So, guess what?

[01:05:47] The Asian people that worked with those white supremacists to tackle affirmative action

[01:05:52] in college campuses, you advance the agenda of the Trump regime.

[01:05:56] You advance the agenda that is now actively saying, if you're not white in a position

[01:06:00] of power, you didn't deserve it.

[01:06:03] That is what I oppose.

[01:06:04] Okay?

[01:06:05] Yeah, I despise Thomas Sauer.

[01:06:08] Does that mean I'm anti-black?

[01:06:10] I find Candace Owens's views to be morally repugnant. Does that mean I'm white supremacist? Does that mean I'm anti-black?

[01:06:16] Or am I opposing white supremacy?

[01:06:19] Stop playing this fucking bullshit game. This is

[01:06:23] unbelievably reactionary and the very fact that people are using

[01:06:27] knowingly using the Republican National Committee's resurface videos as Democrats is disgusting to me, okay?

[01:06:36] You're a fucking dupe

[01:06:38] You're either cynically taking advantage of this or you're a goddamn dupe

[01:06:45] Yeah, I'm so anti-Asian. That's why I'm appearing alongside shoycott chakra Barty

[01:06:52] That's why it's such a funny fucking line of attack am I anti-Asian or am I too in favor of

[01:06:59] You know aligning and and having a cooperative relationship with China, which one is it?

[01:07:05] Yeah, I'm too pro-China, but also anti-Asian at the same time. I don't know. I don't know how this works again

[01:07:14] Perhaps it doesn't fucking matter, you know, perhaps doesn't matter at all

[01:07:18] Perhaps it's just a cynical line of attack and that's precisely what it is

[01:07:23] You're on folks news today

[01:07:26] The fuck is this?

[01:07:29] Supervisor kind of channel the candidate running a strike of art who was born in Hong Kong condemned the rhetoric in a statement at the time

[01:07:33] It is disappointing when we've become used to people making inflammatory even racist

[01:07:37] remarks to get cloud online.

[01:07:38] We must demand that everyone, especially with those wide-region influence, do better.

[01:07:41] That goes for political candidates, too.

[01:07:42] I don't even have any smoke for Connie Chan, by the way.

[01:07:45] I don't think she's like a bad person at all.

[01:07:48] I think this is a very cynical line of attack to get one on Shoy Ka Chakrabarti.

[01:07:54] It's a little disappointing, especially considering that I know a lot of people that have positive

[01:08:00] feelings about Connie Chan. And it would be shocking to me if Connie Chan

[01:08:05] disagreed with my assessment here about affirmative action and DEI initiatives

[01:08:10] and how sometimes Asian people play a willing role in advancing white

[01:08:16] supremacist values. I don't think she's in favor of that. I'm not in favor of that.

[01:08:21] That's who I'm criticizing. Piker stood by some of his most insidious

[01:08:26] comments, including those about Asian immigrants, though he said those remarks

[01:08:28] been taken out of context while my sentiment is vulgar I stand on my

[01:08:31] principles piker told political playbook in April explaining that he had been

[01:08:33] speaking about a supreme court decision

[01:08:35] striking down affirmative action

[01:08:36] i'm talking for ten hours every single day seven days a week of course is

[01:08:39] gonna be opportunities to put me out of context

[01:08:41] responded a dorsi's criticism of social media post on friday piker said his

[01:08:44] position on israel's not just the overwhelming majority position of the

[01:08:46] democrats

[01:08:47] is the majority position in the country

[01:08:49] piker's also been an outspoken highly controversial critic of the israeli

[01:08:51] government and we describes as genocide we describe the genocide what i

[01:08:56] described as genocide

[01:08:57] you mean the united nations

[01:09:00] you mean what uh... uh... uh... the amnesty international human rights watch

[01:09:04] that sell them the israeli

[01:09:05] uh... humanitarian organization and and virtually every fucking uh... human

[01:09:09] uh... international

[01:09:11] uh... body has considered a genocide has openly called a genocide is not what

[01:09:15] my description is

[01:09:17] okay so description of common

[01:09:19] it's a description of every fucking institution that is tasked with dealing

[01:09:22] with this kind of stuff

[01:09:25] huh anyway uh... suggesting israel deserve the october seven attack i did

[01:09:29] not do that uh... but in any case many of the civilians he's also said reports

[01:09:33] of a lot of rape women who do the textile matter change dynamic for me

[01:09:36] pikers also spoken out against anti-semites men described it

[01:09:38] as a hate crime

[01:09:40] dorsi who has maintained his thoughts for for israel also run the resolution

[01:09:43] the trucker party should publicly knowledge was the genocidal terrorist

[01:09:46] organization suggested by her defense should pursue the

[01:09:48] formation of their own party

[01:09:50] and get out of ours

[01:09:52] Yeah, this is an unbelievable packed, incredibly biased last paragraph there.

[01:10:00] I said, Hassan said Israel deserved October 7. Hassan said, you know, it doesn't matter if raves happen.

[01:10:09] Just leaving it at that.

[01:10:16] Incredible stuff.

[01:10:17] Obviously, you do understand, though, identity gets removed for any class context and then

[01:10:23] leveraged to forward the interests of power.

[01:10:25] You are racist if you critique Owens or Obama for his body count, and you are a commentarist

[01:10:30] if you advocate for working class interests.

[01:10:31] It hasn't changed much over the years.

[01:10:32] I know.

[01:10:33] I'll keep fucking saying what I'm saying, though, because I've been saying this for

[01:10:39] years.

[01:10:40] I've been saying everything that I've said in the last couple of years for this past

[01:10:46] decade. Okay? And guess what? More and more people are finally

[01:10:52] comprehending it as a direct consequence of the contradictions

[01:10:54] worsening as a direct consequence of material conditions

[01:10:56] worsening for working class folks. Okay? And that's the reason

[01:11:02] why there is an unbelievable amount of attacks right now, as

[01:11:06] opposed to ever before in my entire career. Okay? They're

[01:11:12] attacking me because the message is finally penetrating

[01:11:15] collective consciousness. One of the greatest examples, this is obviously on the issue of Israel.

[01:11:21] And that's precisely the reason why these guys are attacking so aggressively, because they can't

[01:11:26] attack, one, they can't really attack the message, so they have to shoot the messenger,

[01:11:31] and two, they can't attack the large subsects of the voting population that also have identical,

[01:11:38] if not very similar points of view, and maybe even identical language at times, right?

[01:11:45] So they can't discipline the voters, so they try to discipline someone who's popular with the voters, or at least a sub-sect of the voters, right?

[01:11:54] That's what it is, and that's the reason why they're doing it. I know exactly why they're doing it. Fuck them.

[01:12:00] Okay?

[01:12:02] Anyway, another thing that I've been talking about over and over again is the war effort.

[01:12:10] Operation Epstein's Fury is now at day 69.

[01:12:16] Okay, it's day 69 of Operation Epic Fury.

[01:12:20] If you've been in here since day one

[01:12:22] of Operation Epic Fury,

[01:12:24] or at least since the first week of Operation Epic Fury,

[01:12:27] you know that things have not been going well.

[01:12:30] I've been talking about it extensively as a matter of fact.

[01:12:33] Yes, nice.

[01:12:35] And it turns out more and more people are finally coming

[01:12:38] to that conclusion as well,

[01:12:39] Even though Donald Trump is the one guy who refuses to acknowledge it, I'm going to go

[01:12:43] pee while this runs.

[01:12:44] More apparent contradictions from the Trump administration over the war with Iran.

[01:12:48] President Trump claimed the U.S. had, quote, one, though he also said no peace deal has

[01:12:53] been reached.

[01:12:54] We've also learned an American fighter jet fired on an Iranian oil tanker.

[01:12:58] The Pentagon says it was trying to slip past the U.S. blockade.

[01:13:02] Weijia Zhang is at the White House.

[01:13:03] Weijia, good morning.

[01:13:04] Good morning, and good morning to everybody.

[01:13:07] We have heard this optimism from President Trump before and the threats that come with

[01:13:11] a lack of progress.

[01:13:13] Trump warns the U.S. will hit Iran with more attacks at a much higher level and intensity

[01:13:18] if a peace deal is not reached.

[01:13:22] So I think we won.

[01:13:23] Promoting a U.S.C. match scheduled at the White House for next month, President Trump

[01:13:28] declared victory in another fight against Iran.

[01:13:31] We've had very good talks over the last 24 hours, and it's very possible that we'll

[01:13:37] make a deal."

[01:13:38] According to a report from Axios, White House officials believe they are getting close to

[01:13:42] an agreement with Iran on a one-page memorandum to end the war and start more detailed negotiations.

[01:13:50] The deal would include a moratorium on Iran's nuclear enrichment, the lifting of U.S. sanctions,

[01:13:56] and both sites ending restrictions in the Strait of Ramuz.

[01:14:00] Iranian officials said the proposal is being reviewed.

[01:14:04] Trump insisted Iran has already signed off

[01:14:07] on his key condition.

[01:14:09] Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and they won't.

[01:14:12] And they've agreed to that.

[01:14:14] Iran has not said that publicly,

[01:14:16] and Trump lamented its leaders have backed off past agreements.

[01:14:21] We've had some good talks before, as you know.

[01:14:23] And all of a sudden, the next day, they forgot what happened.

[01:14:28] After one day, the president paused his proposed project freedom, after apparently only guiding

[01:14:34] very few ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

[01:14:37] The Pentagon set a US Navy FAA-18 Super Hornet, like this one, launched from the deck of the

[01:14:43] USS Abraham Lincoln.

[01:14:45] Continue to enforce...

[01:14:46] Yes, we are getting ready for another attack, breaking five U.S. Air Force KC-135 tankers

[01:14:52] have taken off in the UAE with at least four more tankers airborne over Israel and Jordan,

[01:14:56] going dark with transponders off, Trump separately did not appear a scheduled press event with

[01:15:02] a Brazilian president that was set for over three hours ago with no explanation given.

[01:15:09] Project Freedom was an unbelievable fuck-up, says Matthew Petty.

[01:15:13] The blockade put time on Washington's side, but in the course of the weekend, Trump demonstrated

[01:15:17] that he was one, impatient, two, scared of markets, three, unwilling or unable to protect

[01:15:21] the idea of Dubai.

[01:15:25] been heard overheard over Tehran from what I understand, but it's unclear whether or

[01:15:32] not it's unclear whether or not those were related to like American and Israeli bombing

[01:15:38] campaigns.

[01:15:39] Bahman, Pierre on Iran's Qashem Island, targeted following an exchange of fire between the

[01:15:43] Iranian armed forces and the enemy says Farz news.

[01:15:47] So I guess there's more updates on that since then.

[01:15:51] The idea of Dubai, yes, it's a joke.

[01:15:53] Several large transports or tankers have left the California AFB Air Force Base headed

[01:16:03] west today as well.

[01:16:06] So yeah, Donald Trump, seven days out from the Beijing summit, went back and forth on

[01:16:22] possibly securing a peace, an enduring peace, or going back to waging war with Iran.

[01:16:28] There was the Operation Freedom, Guardian, Prosperity Freedom, whatever the fuck they

[01:16:32] call it, where he was going to transit ships through the Strait of Hormuz with naval assets

[01:16:40] in tow.

[01:16:41] That lasted for about 24 hours, not even 24 hours.

[01:16:44] That was announced, and in 24 hours it was discontinued.

[01:16:48] Donald Trump said, okay, we now have another deal on the table, we're going to be having

[01:16:51] a conversation with Iran again. And it turns out that Tehran did not like the the conditions

[01:16:58] that America set forth. So America seemingly is bringing back the bombing campaign, which

[01:17:04] didn't fucking work from the start. We are on day 69 of monitoring the situation.

[01:17:16] prices have reached alarming levels all around the country, energy markets are screaming

[01:17:25] bloody murder. And yet, God, I got to stop saying day 69, an American official just told

[01:17:37] Al Jazeera the reports about preparations to resume project freedom are false. Do with

[01:17:41] that what you will, I don't know," says Bonzer-Berry.

[01:17:49] Wall Street Journal says Saudi Arabia and Kuwait lifted restrictions on U.S. military

[01:17:54] access to bases and airspace.

[01:17:55] The Trump administration is now looking to restart project freedom after it had paused

[01:17:58] it after 36 hours this week.

[01:18:00] U.S. officials said it isn't clear when that could happen, though Pentagon officials gave

[01:18:05] a timeline of as early as this week, okay?

[01:18:11] Why bring the counter back today, man? You know why because I'm also a dumbass. Tasnim says sounds of several explosions hurt near Kesham Island.

[01:18:19] And by the way, since then, Tasnim or Fars has said this was enemy bombing campaigns in Kesham Island. So, yeah.

[01:18:33] There are currently five tankers in the air from Tel Aviv and five from UAE right now with another one tanker over Iraq.

[01:18:42] There's also one tanker that has shut off its transponder.

[01:18:47] So, everything points to America resuming Project Epstein's Fury, Project Epic Fortnite

[01:18:59] of Freedom, whatever this iteration of the war efforts against Iran are called.

[01:19:06] Of course, there's also new reports coming from John Hudson, National Security Reporter

[01:19:13] for Washington Post, who has a scoop, says a confidential new CIA analysis delivered

[01:19:18] to the policymakers this week concludes that Iran can survive the U.S. naval blockade for

[01:19:21] at least three to four months before facing more severe economic hardship, a finding that

[01:19:25] contradicts those hailing and imminent collapse.

[01:19:28] U.S. intel also indicates that Iran retains about 75 percent of its pre-war inventories

[01:19:32] of mobile launchers, and about 70 percent of its pre-war stockpiles of missiles per

[01:19:37] a U.S. official.

[01:19:39] This is increasingly becoming exactly like my Palestine, Israel-Palestine Gaza genocide

[01:19:46] coverage, where we look at initial open source intelligence assessments.

[01:19:53] We analyze the Iranian strike capabilities by looking at the targets and looking at

[01:20:00] their success in terms of penetrating the Israeli security umbrella.

[01:20:07] And we make different, we conduct analysis off of that information as opposed to the

[01:20:13] overwhelming majority of information coming from mainstream media.

[01:20:17] And that's the reason why at the Piker Broadcasting Service, I say, you get tomorrow's news today,

[01:20:24] right?

[01:20:25] This assessment only confirms our analysis here, our analysis here that has been conducted

[01:20:34] for uh... and and uh... and i've been talking about for fucking

[01:20:37] months at this point

[01:20:39] okay for

[01:20:40] next month's news today basically

[01:20:46] if you were to look at

[01:20:47] the the uh... strike if you were to analyze the strike capabilities of aram

[01:20:53] by simply looking at how uh... how capable they are in successive strikes on

[01:20:57] israeli soil on the golf nations

[01:21:00] and and what targets they've been able to actually successfully hit

[01:21:05] you would realize a very different reality exists on the ground as opposed

[01:21:09] to what people are hearing about in the western world

[01:21:14] u.s. intel also indicates that i mean this is great those basically confirmation

[01:21:18] the cia is basically confirming

[01:21:20] what we have seen and what we've been talking about for the past

[01:21:24] two months now

[01:21:25] again day sixty nine

[01:21:28] basically since day seven

[01:21:29] We've known that this American military campaign, this aerial bombardment campaign, was not

[01:21:37] succeeding in achieving any of the military objectives as far as successfully attritting

[01:21:45] Iranian strike capabilities, right?

[01:21:49] US intel also indicates that Iran retains about 75% of its pre-war inventories of mobile

[01:21:57] launchers and about seventy percent of its pre-war stockpiles of missiles per

[01:22:00] u.s. official the regime has also been able to recover underground storage

[01:22:03] facilities and repair damaged missiles this week trump painted a more dire

[01:22:07] picture of ron situation saying their economy is crashing their currency is

[01:22:12] worthless and their missiles are mostly decimated but u.s. intelligence offers a

[01:22:17] much more sobering assessment one of the u.s. officials said they thought iran's

[01:22:21] capacity to sustain prolonged economic hardship is far greater than even the

[01:22:24] the current CIA estimate, the leadership has gotten more radical, more determined, and

[01:22:28] increasingly confident they can outlast the US political will and sustain domestic repression

[01:22:33] to check any resistance inside Iran.

[01:22:36] The official said comparatively you see similar regimes lasting years under sustained embargoes

[01:22:40] and air power only wars.

[01:22:44] White House spokesman spokeswoman Anna Kelly defended the blockades effectiveness. Iran

[01:22:48] was crushed militarily. Now they're being strangled economically and losing $500 million

[01:22:51] per day, thanks to the US military successful blockade of Iranian ports.

[01:22:59] This has been a spectacular fuck up, and anyone who is a little bit reasonable could see it

[01:23:07] from week one, okay?

[01:23:12] At some point, you have to realize like there's not much daylight between Asming Gold's

[01:23:16] yeah, based style reporting on the matter

[01:23:18] and a lot of mainstream media outlets that you know have foundation

[01:23:22] uh... for defending democracy of folks on or

[01:23:26] pro war warhawk

[01:23:28] neocons on their broadcast over and over again

[01:23:31] uh... democratic neocons such as

[01:23:34] brett megurk

[01:23:35] or almost hox teen

[01:23:37] architects of the gaza genocide on the democratic side

[01:23:40] to to go on cnn and deliver the exact same bullshit

[01:23:44] that the trump administration is saying with a liberal spin on it

[01:23:49] if you go to these places in if you hear from these people of course they're

[01:23:52] gonna say no we're doing up a spectacular fucking job

[01:23:58] mark a ms also has some choice words on this the team be counterpoint here is

[01:24:02] whatever the fdb israel lobby

[01:24:04] says just a few more blockade days plus a few more bombing sorties and the

[01:24:07] defeated regime is over

[01:24:09] and though they're always wrong

[01:24:11] presidents of a funny habit of going for the best massage team be intelligence

[01:24:18] we don't even need to see the dust

[01:24:21] settling to recognize that fdb is a cut out for israeli intelligence and their

[01:24:26] goals are not the goals

[01:24:28] of of advancing america's interest okay

[01:24:32] their goals

[01:24:33] are to advance the interests of israel

[01:24:36] and it's very clear that the president

[01:24:39] and many in his closest circle are listening to these fucking idiots the

[01:24:43] white house is literally

[01:24:45] used

[01:24:46] fdb policy papers in their communications

[01:24:50] throughout this war

[01:24:53] they recently hired a fdb

[01:24:57] uh... analyst to be a part of the negotiations team

[01:25:04] It's ridiculous. They're leaning further and further into faulty Israeli intelligence.

[01:25:15] Like it's their last-ditch effort to salvage the war effort somehow. It's not working.

[01:25:21] It's been a spectacular failure. It's been a major humiliation for American force projection

[01:25:29] capabilities. And yet they keep leaning into it. Yeah, I respond to the Tommy V tour.

[01:25:44] These neocon lunatics think taking down the Iranian regime is worth risking the Shredda

[01:25:48] Hormuz being closed for eight months. Meanwhile, gas prices go up exponentially, entire economies

[01:25:53] in Asia collapse and fertilizer shortages lead to famine. I said, good thing they put

[01:25:56] but one of the FTD guys on the negotiations team,

[01:25:58] we clearly weren't sufficiently representing

[01:26:00] Israel's interests before.

[01:26:01] Tommy Peters is an org backed by autocrats

[01:26:02] who don't give a fuck about democracy.

[01:26:04] Perfect.

[01:26:11] You mean they just got a Mossad agent

[01:26:12] in the negotiation talks?

[01:26:14] What do you mean just now?

[01:26:15] They've already had Israel's interest

[01:26:17] sufficiently being represented in those negotiations.

[01:26:21] Okay?

[01:26:22] And on top of that, they also have Benjamin and Yahoo

[01:26:26] doing boss calls to donald trump with regular fucking frequency anyway

[01:26:29] and on top of that israel blows up a route as they did yesterday

[01:26:34] in an effort to spoil

[01:26:36] the the uh... potential ceasefire

[01:26:40] yet

[01:26:41] map basis at this rate soon will be hearing that a hundred and ten percent

[01:26:44] iranian missile survived the war

[01:26:56] Trump's new Iran negotiator is Israel's lobbyist, who has denounced negotiations with Iran.

[01:27:16] Tap to advise the special envoy for peace missions, Steve Wyckoff, Nick Stewart, previously

[01:27:21] condemned dealing with any of Iran's elected leaders. Okay, that's the guy.

[01:27:27] Yeah. Let's hear what he has to say about negotiating with Iran. This is the

[01:27:31] guy who was hired, by the way, to be a part of the Trump negotiations team this

[01:27:37] past week. And I want to stay with you because this is on the week in New York

[01:27:42] City, the UN General Assembly, and Iran's new president, Massoud Pazashian, is running

[01:27:49] around New York, touting diplomacy, and I'm a reformer and the media is magnifying that

[01:27:56] exactly as Iran had hoped. They even brought out Zarif from retirement, right? So there

[01:28:02] is this narrative that Iran is turning the chapter on the butcher of Tehran and there's

[01:28:07] a new president, there's a new reformer in town. Obviously it shouldn't be much of a

[01:28:13] newsflash possession is a part of the theocratic, tyrannical, authoritarian

[01:28:17] government of Iran, right? This man is not a reformer and we shouldn't buy into

[01:28:22] that narrative because what it does is it makes it, it throws us off our guard and

[01:28:25] we think, oh, let's let, you know, this is different, this is unique. What do you say

[01:28:29] to that? Because that impacts policy, right? If we think that we have an honest

[01:28:32] broker across the table, we are coming to the table with a completely different

[01:28:36] mindset and I think it's important we disabuse people of that notion. Speak to

[01:28:40] that I think if anybody else wants to chime in on this too if mr. Pazishka is a reformer than I'm

[01:28:46] you know Queen Elizabeth I yeah next to Elliot Abrams another fucking ghoul but um

[01:29:03] you know real who's who of demonic entities here

[01:29:06] Oh God, just warmongers of the highest order. Listen, this was before the Queen died, I think.

[01:29:16] So, yeah. In any case, in any case, the point here is America is already representing the

[01:29:27] interests of Israel, even if the Israeli interest in this circumstance very clearly diverges from

[01:29:33] American interest. America, as the hegemon, has a totally different set of

[01:29:40] interests and a totally different set of obligations to the rest of the world.

[01:29:45] It's number one reason, it's number one reason for existence, is number one

[01:29:51] justification for 800 military bays around the world, is the idea that they

[01:29:56] can be anywhere all at once, anywhere around the world in a matter of 24 to 48

[01:30:01] hours, and they can dominate anyone militarily if a country dares impede on the free flow

[01:30:08] of commerce, okay?

[01:30:12] So either militarily or through diplomacy, America must maintain free flow of commerce

[01:30:18] through these routes like the Strait of Hormuz.

[01:30:23] And if they can't do this militarily, as they've shown they're incapable of opening the Shroud

[01:30:28] to Hormuz militarily, they have to go the route of diplomacy, okay?

[01:30:34] Their obligation is not just to the American domestic markets, their obligation is not

[01:30:39] just to Americans, their obligation is to the rest of the world, right?

[01:30:47] And they have failed in achieving this clear cut, well-defined, long-standing objective.

[01:30:55] This is why I keep repeating over and over again that America might say they're isolationist.

[01:31:01] The American administration might say or claim that they're isolationist, but America touches

[01:31:05] everything around the world, okay?

[01:31:12] They have an obligation to their partners in the Asian markets to ensure safe passage

[01:31:20] of oil tankers

[01:31:22] so that these asian countries do not fall apart

[01:31:26] asian countries that are responsible for the overwhelming majority of component

[01:31:30] manufacturing that american and western

[01:31:33] uh... countries also utilize

[01:31:36] in their production

[01:31:39] the the global system of capitalism

[01:31:42] an international trade is designed

[01:31:45] to never allow for this kind of impediment

[01:31:48] to continue for a long period of time.

[01:31:50] Because if it does, everything collapses.

[01:31:52] We saw a version of this with COVID, right?

[01:31:59] But this is man-made.

[01:32:02] This crisis is directly born out of

[01:32:04] America's and Israel's military ambitions in Iran.

[01:32:08] But America and Israel have different interests here.

[01:32:11] Israel's goal is not to open the Strait of Hormuz.

[01:32:14] Israel doesn't give a fuck about opening the Shradd of Hormuz.

[01:32:18] Israel doesn't care if the Gulf nations are crippled.

[01:32:21] Israel actually benefits if the Gulf nations are crippled, whereas the rest of the world

[01:32:25] does not.

[01:32:26] The rest of the world does not benefit if the Gulf is lit on fire, or if the Shradd

[01:32:30] of Hormuz is blockaded.

[01:32:34] Right?

[01:32:37] America, as the hegemon, must open the Shradd of Hormuz, must allow international trade

[01:32:43] to continue in this pre-blockade levels, in the pre-blockade, pre-crisis levels that

[01:32:48] we're now experiencing. Do you understand? This is why I say Israel and America do not

[01:33:00] have goals that converge in this circumstance but diverge from one another, okay? There's

[01:33:06] friction. But the American administration acts as though there is no friction whatsoever.

[01:33:12] American administration acts as a pliant admin that will be willing participants in whatever

[01:33:18] Israel's design is in the region.

[01:33:20] And that is where we arrive at this issue.

[01:33:23] There are plenty of people making the reasonable assessment on the intelligence side, whether

[01:33:27] it be the CIA, on the State Department side, plenty of generals that have explained over

[01:33:34] and over again to Donald Trump that if they continue along this journey, that the crisis

[01:33:40] will only grow. There's only one option out of this, to stop the hemorrhage, to stop the

[01:33:46] bleeding, and that is diplomacy. Okay? Everything points in that direction. And yet, there's

[01:33:54] one country that is no longer just a junior partner in this coalition, but seemingly behaving

[01:33:59] like the senior partner, Israel, that does not want diplomacy to take place. They do

[01:34:05] not want a sovereign Iran. I've said this from day one. Israel's goals, since day one, was

[01:34:09] very clear it is the complete destruction or at least the Balkanization or at least a failed state

[01:34:15] in Iran turning Iran into Libya okay that was Israel's goal

[01:34:27] and by way of lying to the American leadership I mean if you want to if you want to you know

[01:34:34] say that that was the reason I'm sure that played a big role here

[01:34:38] and by way of consistently sullying ceasefire negotiations or attempts at

[01:34:43] long-standing peace by blowing up Beirut and continuing to escalate

[01:34:47] militarily

[01:34:52] Israel has made it virtually impossible for America to

[01:34:56] to have any sort of reasonable negotiations

[01:35:00] with Iran until the United States of America says

[01:35:03] enough is enough and brings Israel to heal.

[01:35:07] Okay?

[01:35:08] Israel is the destabilizing factor here.

[01:35:10] It's not Iran.

[01:35:16] And now, it seems like we're leaning in the direction of more warfare, more destabilization,

[01:35:24] more crisis.

[01:35:26] Once again, Iranian state media says, the United Arab Emirates has now attacked Iran.

[01:35:33] This is Mayor, an explosion occurred at the Bahman Pier in Qashem during an exchange of

[01:35:39] fire between the Iranian forces and the enemy, and now they're saying it was the United Arab

[01:35:45] Emirates.

[01:35:55] Iran will dish out a heavy price to the United Arab Emirates.

[01:36:00] 100%. From their perspective, they have to create military deterrence to ensure that

[01:36:08] this stops. This is how states conduct themselves. Okay? If the UAE is foolish enough to engage

[01:36:21] Iran militarily like this, thinking that America will defend them, Iran will stop at nothing

[01:36:31] to show them that that is not the case.

[01:36:37] Iran will pull out all the fucking stops to ensure that the United Arab Emirates understands

[01:36:46] that America is not capable of defending them.

[01:36:51] Here's Uncle Chunk Weigert on the Sean Ryan show talking about Israel's attempts at spoiling

[01:36:57] this deal.

[01:36:58] And we haven't had what I think is the worst part of the war that's coming up.

[01:37:02] If we don't get the hell out of there, this is going to be an economic collapse like people

[01:37:07] have not seen.

[01:37:08] So then, so why is Israel doing this?

[01:37:12] Number one, they want to take Southern Lebanon and this is all a giant destruction.

[01:37:15] Number two, they want the Iranians destroyed so they can't fund Hamas as below, etc.

[01:37:19] So it's all about their interests, not our interests.

[01:37:22] But the parts people don't talk about.

[01:37:24] They just open up the Leviathan gas field for the first time Israel now has a source

[01:37:30] of energy.

[01:37:31] And after the war starts, Nen Yahu goes and brags on air, well, now that all those other

[01:37:38] the straight is closed and other things are foreclosed, you're going to have to rely on

[01:37:43] Leviathan and Israel.

[01:37:46] Holy shit.

[01:37:48] Okay.

[01:37:49] When the world falls apart and we lose all of our allies, we lose NATO. We lose the Middle East. We lose everyone

[01:37:57] Israel then says we're your only ally

[01:37:59] See the rest of the world hates you. Well, why do they hate us because we did the shit you wanted us to do

[01:38:04] I think everybody sees what's happening. Everybody sees their negotiators being killed by Israel

[01:38:09] I'm not so certain that everybody sees what's happening

[01:38:19] I think a lot of people are not paying attention at all if I'm being real.

[01:38:29] I think a lot of people are totally deluded, understandably focused on their own day-to-day

[01:38:36] issues and and are not not exactly aware their only experience their only

[01:38:50] experience with what's going on over there is the gas prices they see the

[01:38:54] gas prices they go what the fuck is this why am I paying seventy dollars more

[01:38:59] to fill up my tank this is unbearable what the hell's going on fix it but it

[01:39:06] doesn't go beyond that. They don't really think about how we arrived at this predicament.

[01:39:12] I'll be real. And there are those who connect those dots, people like myself, and we get

[01:39:23] He yelled at endlessly by those who want to keep the public confused, oblivious, sedated.

[01:39:36] And everybody sees it but us, but we see it, but our leadership, our administration, Trump,

[01:39:43] they don't acknowledge it.

[01:39:44] But I would just-

[01:39:48] At least they shift the blame over correctly to Donald Trump, because this is Donald Trump's

[01:39:53] spectacular fuck up, right?

[01:39:56] Donald Trump has played a major role in this fuck up.

[01:39:59] He is one of the primary responsible parties for the gas prices being the way that they

[01:40:04] are.

[01:40:06] But one must scratch the surface and look at who has also convinced Donald Trump that

[01:40:13] this would be a good idea.

[01:40:15] And therein lies the truth.

[01:40:17] It's absolutely Israel.

[01:40:21] Early reports and Donald Trump statements, Marco Rubio statements, cause people to recognize

[01:40:28] that reality.

[01:40:29] Even the New York Times' Maggie Haberman wrote extensively on the dynamic between the Israeli

[01:40:35] envoys and the Israeli intelligence and how it differed from America's homegrown intelligence

[01:40:41] assessment.

[01:40:42] Whether it be the CIA or the entire intelligence community or Donald Trump's own generals telling

[01:40:49] him that this would be a devastatingly bad decision to go to war with Iran, but it didn't

[01:40:55] matter.

[01:41:00] You have to look at who stands to benefit from what's going on currently.

[01:41:06] The rest of the world is damaged.

[01:41:09] The rest of the world suffers a global energy crisis, destabilization, inflation everywhere

[01:41:16] as a direct consequence of the manufacturing base of the planet no longer able to receive

[01:41:25] the necessary energy so they can keep up with demands.

[01:41:33] So they can maintain a steady flow of supply so that commerce can continue.

[01:41:40] You have airline carriers like airlines in Europe reducing their flights.

[01:41:50] This will impact deliveries as well.

[01:42:00] America is seen as the responsible party for this quagmire.

[01:42:05] So America's position as the hegemon is threatened.

[01:42:11] Only one country benefits here.

[01:42:13] And they don't even benefit in the long run, but they at least benefit in the short run.

[01:42:17] Because this allows them to take out one of their significant adversaries in the region

[01:42:23] that could potentially be a sufficient deterrence to their greater Israel project.

[01:42:28] country that benefits is Israel.

[01:42:35] And yet, we continue.

[01:42:36] the U.S. blockade, shooting out the rudder of an Iranian oil tanker that the Pentagon

[01:42:41] said ignored, quote, multiple warnings to stay out of an Iranian port.

[01:42:49] President Trump insisted the agreement would also include the U.S. extracting Iran's highly

[01:42:54] enriched uranium, which is a key component for building a nuclear weapon.

[01:42:59] When he told us the same thing last month, Iran responded by saying it would not be transferred

[01:43:04] Anywhere under any circumstances. Dale. All right, we should thank you

[01:43:09] Day 69 of the war it's been a day of some optimism at the idea that there may be some sort of peace agreement at least

[01:43:15] Temporally between Iran and the United States starting sometime next week if that's the case then we'll all be very glad

[01:43:22] But there are a couple of big spoilers in this that we should also be aware of one of course is

[01:43:27] Lemon the war within a war the Israelis are determined to try to finish off Hezbollah

[01:43:32] They've got a very clear agenda to do this, whatever else happens in the war.

[01:43:36] And to that end, they've been increasing their attacks as Hezbollah had been aiming rockets at Israel.

[01:43:41] And yesterday they attacked Beirut, southern Beirut, downtown Beirut again, and pictures of that came through today.

[01:43:47] They said that they were going after a Hezbollah command centre, maybe it was,

[01:43:51] but the fact that they went into Beirut itself shows that the Israelis are determined to do as much damage to Hezbollah as they can in the day still remaining to them

[01:43:59] remaining to them if there is a peace deal between Tehran and Washington. If they can't

[01:44:04] do that, then the thing they're also determined to do is to consolidate their security zone.

[01:44:09] Now this is their security zone running inside the southern part of Lebanon. We've seen

[01:44:14] that before. We saw it between 1982 and the year 2000, but this time, look at it, it goes

[01:44:20] much further to the northeast than it ever did before. It includes Mount Hermon, the

[01:44:24] Syrian edge of Mount Hermon. The Israelis occupy Syrian territory on Mount Hermon. They've

[01:44:29] refused to give it up, the Syrians protest, but they take no notice. They also put military

[01:44:34] outposts between 5 and 10 kilometers inside Syrian territory. It's obvious why the Israelis

[01:44:39] are doing that. They want to protect the northern flank of the Golan Heights. The Golan Heights

[01:44:44] were captured by the Israelis in 1967. They were annexed by Israel in 1981. The world didn't

[01:44:51] recognize that annexation, but nevertheless the United States recognized it under the

[01:44:56] previous Trump administration in 2019. Nobody else does. This is interesting. Hmm, kind

[01:45:03] of feels kind of feels crazy that no one else in the world recognizes this annexation except

[01:45:09] for the United States of America. Nevertheless, Israel continues to annex it. Kind of feels

[01:45:15] like it necessitates some kind of militant resistance, no?

[01:45:29] Is legally Syrian territory, but not to Israel, and the Israelis aren't in terms of they're

[01:45:34] going to protect that territory with their extended security zone.

[01:45:39] What this tells me is that whatever happens in this war within a war, the Israelis intend

[01:45:43] And to be in this security zone, I think, for potentially a very long time.

[01:45:48] That's one potential spoiler.

[01:45:51] The other potential spoiler, of course, is our old friend, the Strait of Hormuz.

[01:45:55] The rest of the world really wants a reconciliation to release all the shipping in the Strait

[01:46:00] of Hormuz.

[01:46:01] This is what is doing so much damage to the world economy.

[01:46:03] This is why it matters so much to the rest of us.

[01:46:05] Well, that's fine.

[01:46:07] But remember that the Strait of Hormuz will only gradually reopen over a 30-day period

[01:46:12] as both sides, the Americans and the Iranians, ramped down their respective blockades.

[01:46:17] And even when they do, we've got 1,500 ships all knotted up, locked away somewhere inside

[01:46:23] this side of the strait. Those ships have got to get out in some sort of order. And

[01:46:27] then empty ships, which have been empty for over a month, want to get back in to load

[01:46:31] up again and get out. Again, what that tells me is it will be several months before the

[01:46:36] the Strait of Hormuz returns to anything like normality,

[01:46:40] even if there is a deal this week,

[01:46:42] which holds for 30 odd days.

[01:46:45] And so the Strait of Hormuz remains

[01:46:46] in this rather strange situation.

[01:46:48] That's the picture of it from Bandar Abbas

[01:46:50] on the Iranian side.

[01:46:51] It's a bizarre situation.

[01:46:53] Nevertheless, we can be grateful for where we are today.

[01:46:55] We can be optimistic about that.

[01:46:57] But the fact is, there are spoilers,

[01:46:59] both in Lebanon and in the Strait of Hormuz,

[01:47:02] which may temper our optimism.

[01:47:04] Stepping back a little bit from today to the week's events, interested in your take, obviously there was Operation Epic Fury, then there was briefly...

[01:47:14] Legitimately, what could be done in the world as you get Israel out of occupying southern Lebanon?

[01:47:27] America. America must restrain and hold Israel accountable. That's it. There's no other way to do this.

[01:47:34] this, whatever America says goes.

[01:47:43] Anyway, Professor Jong did the diary of a CEO collab,

[01:47:50] the collab we've all been waiting for.

[01:47:53] I'm sure there will be fantastic,

[01:47:57] I'm sure there will be fantastic pieces

[01:48:01] information tidbits about history, even though Jung here doesn't have his whiteboard. Oh wait, he does!

[01:48:08] Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god, he brought his whiteboard! Oh my god! Oh my god! Yes! Yes!

[01:48:21] Yes! This is how you're supposed to do it! See, Mehdi Hassan, he actually took away his power.

[01:48:30] He took away professor chong's power because matthew asan was afraid of the truth. He was afraid of professor chong's predictive capabilities

[01:48:41] professor chong

[01:48:47] Wow, what a glorious day. What a fantastic day. Where's your whiteboard loser? I don't have one because i'm bitch made

[01:48:54] okay

[01:48:55] That's why people condemn me. That's why the San Francisco Democratic Party is demanding condemnations of me because I don't have a whiteboard because I can't do predictive history. Okay. I can only predict.

[01:49:06] What might take place in the upcoming months. I can never predict what will take shape.

[01:49:13] In the upcoming decades, Professor Jung on the other hand, he predicts not only the past, but also the future. That's right. He has the capabilities of predicting what happened in the past as well.

[01:49:25] Pauli market fears this man.

[01:49:28] That's not a prediction. Shut up!

[01:49:33] It is when predictive history is what we're talking about.

[01:49:37] Professor Jihad, me, no whiteboard. Professor John,

[01:49:41] predictive history, yes, whiteboard. Pax Americana,

[01:49:46] Pax Islamica, and maybe even

[01:49:49] what is it, Pax Judaica, is that what he says?

[01:49:52] Yeah, that seems a little bit anti-semitic, so I'm not going to go there, but you know.

[01:50:05] Professor Jong, he'll go there.

[01:50:07] A wise sage, wise beyond his years.

[01:50:11] My goat, Professor Jong.

[01:50:13] Okay, so, fake professor, Professor Michael Clark, no whiteboard, says, US is desperate

[01:50:21] to get out of Iran.

[01:50:22] Take a look at this operation to try and escort boats out of the Strait of Hormuz.

[01:50:28] How hard was that for the US to actually deliver?

[01:50:30] Or could they have done, had everyone wanted it to continue?

[01:50:34] Well, Operation Freedom to get boats or ships out of the Strait of Hormuz was a very big

[01:50:40] operation.

[01:50:41] SENTCOM had been working on it for a long time.

[01:50:43] They'd worked on it secretly to demine some channel, a channel around the coast of UAE

[01:50:50] and Oman.

[01:50:51] And it was ready to go.

[01:50:52] It had taken them a long time to put it together,

[01:50:54] because it was a three-stage plan to work inland in Iran,

[01:50:57] to actually stop anything moving, to then work,

[01:51:00] put a dome, as they called it, over the straits itself,

[01:51:03] so that nothing in the straits could

[01:51:05] threaten any ships moving out.

[01:51:06] And then to move ships out in a clear channel,

[01:51:09] they worked on it a lot.

[01:51:10] And they began it.

[01:51:12] They got two American flagged cargo ships out,

[01:51:15] with a couple of American destroyers shepherding them out.

[01:51:18] And they thought that was the beginning of it.

[01:51:19] Pete Hegseth said, was it two days, four days, eight hours ago?

[01:51:23] He said, right, hundreds of ships, hundreds of ships

[01:51:25] are now waiting to go through.

[01:51:27] And within a couple of hours, President Trump

[01:51:29] had said, no, we're not doing that.

[01:51:31] I guess my reason for asking with that point

[01:51:33] is, do you think, therefore, it stopped because it couldn't

[01:51:37] or wasn't going to work, or because there

[01:51:39] was diplomatic pressure, whether it was from the Saudis,

[01:51:41] whether it's ahead of his trip to China?

[01:51:44] Why did President Trump stop pursuing that plan when,

[01:51:46] obviously, as you said, there'd been so much work going into it?

[01:51:49] Yeah, I think probably two things.

[01:51:50] One is that it wasn't obviously going to reassure

[01:51:52] the tanker owners and the crews to give it a go.

[01:51:56] The idea was once they see it working,

[01:51:59] they'll all want to get out, so they will.

[01:52:01] But we all thought it was a bit of a long shot

[01:52:04] because it would have to get 1,500 tankers out

[01:52:07] and then more tankers back in.

[01:52:09] There's lots of empty tankers out there

[01:52:10] waiting to go back in to the Gulf

[01:52:12] to load up again to resume trade.

[01:52:14] So it was always gonna be a long process.

[01:52:17] And it was a big operation.

[01:52:19] But I think against that, too, was the sense

[01:52:21] that President Trump feels boxed in for diplomatic reasons.

[01:52:25] And this summit he's going to in China next week,

[01:52:29] I think, looms large for him.

[01:52:30] He didn't want to go with this thing unresolved.

[01:52:33] And he always expresses diplomacy as if it's

[01:52:36] a game of cards, as if it's a poker match.

[01:52:39] And if that's the case, then he looks at if he's folding.

[01:52:42] He looks at if he's just inside it, he's got to fold,

[01:52:45] at least for now.

[01:52:45] We never predict because, I mean, even this week, we've gone around the complete circle

[01:52:50] inside 48 hours.

[01:52:51] I mean, my heart goes out to the planners at CENTCOM, Central Command.

[01:52:55] They're in Tampa and in Doha, the forward base in the Gulf.

[01:52:59] They must be banging their heads on the desk.

[01:53:01] All the planning they do, and it's just undercut in a truth social post, and everything goes

[01:53:07] into a different direction.

[01:53:08] I mean, they must wonder, what are we supposed to do with this sort of political direction

[01:53:12] that we're not going to do?

[01:53:15] Breaking, Iranian state media reports commercial peer struck near Bhandar Abbas, Iranian RGC

[01:53:23] affiliated outlet Fars News Agency reported Thursday that parts of the Bahman Qashem

[01:53:27] peer, a commercial and passenger port on the eastern side of Qashem Island at the entrance

[01:53:32] of the Shredi Hormuz were struck during what it described as exchanges of fire between

[01:53:37] the Iranian forces and the enemy.

[01:53:39] IRIB also reported sounds of explosions of the area, further details were not immediately

[01:53:43] available, since seizing control of the maritime traffic in the Shredda Hormuz, Iran has mandated

[01:53:46] the vessels transit through a specific corridor located between Qashem Island and Laraq Island.

[01:53:57] So will this be another tit-for-tat endeavor where both parties, or not Iran necessarily,

[01:54:02] but America claims that the ceasefire is still holding? Or will this extend into another

[01:54:08] arm of this now 69-day long conflict, we can only wait to find out more, right?

[01:54:16] We can only wait to figure that part out, and we just don't know what the American response

[01:54:21] will be, because when they announced the new military campaign to transit oil tankers,

[01:54:31] or at least any commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz by way of the American

[01:54:36] Navy, there was a tit for tat and America backed away instantly and chose not to do that again.

[01:54:48] However,

[01:54:52] however, time is running out for Trump to pack this up before his paging summit.

[01:54:59] So, I don't know what the calculation here is at all.

[01:55:04] What's your sense on how optimistic or not we should be about these peace talks?

[01:55:12] I think we've arrived at the point where the United States is now, is desperate to get

[01:55:17] out and is looking for a way out that can be presented as somehow better than the 2015

[01:55:24] deal, which is what Trump departed from, and you know, you wrecked that deal in 2018.

[01:55:29] And so he's got to find a way of making the deal he might now come to, at least an interim

[01:55:34] deal, 30 days sees far where they talk about lots of things.

[01:55:37] In reality, it will look spookily like the 2015 deal, but in slightly worse conditions,

[01:55:43] because the Iranians now have a more hardline leadership than they had in 2015.

[01:55:47] They now know how easy it is to block the Strait of Olmurs to make them unnavigable very,

[01:55:52] very easily, which they couldn't have done in 2015.

[01:55:54] The technologies are different.

[01:55:56] Against that...

[01:55:57] That's not true.

[01:55:58] That's literally not true. They have had the capabilities of waging asymmetric warfare

[01:56:06] since the 90s. Okay? Since the 90s. The only difference now is that their technology has

[01:56:13] improved and it's actually less costly. There's less of a human cost, for example. They can

[01:56:20] do it with GoFast boats, mosquito boats, and, you know, commercial vessels that have been

[01:56:27] reappropriated for military use in their mosquito fleet that they have, but

[01:56:35] outside and they have drones as well. But even in the past, since the 90s they've

[01:56:43] had the capabilities of utilizing asymmetric warfare and suicide bombing,

[01:56:48] for example, to be able to render commercial traffic impossible in the

[01:56:53] So, that's not true. They've always had that capability.

[01:56:56] They knew they had that capability.

[01:56:57] It's not like a surprise to them at all.

[01:56:59] They just never flexed that capability

[01:57:02] because they always thought they could potentially negotiate with the West.

[01:57:09] Even though there was clearly no ambition from the West

[01:57:14] and one might even consider it naivete

[01:57:16] to assume that you could deal with the West as even partners here,

[01:57:20] partners here, although the American side was always aware of this capability by Iran,

[01:57:28] because Iran's capabilities are not just their unique asymmetric warfare fighting style.

[01:57:37] Their capabilities also come from the fact that there is a limitation in geography here.

[01:57:42] The Shroud of Hormuz only has a two-mile wide area that these massive oil tankers can transit

[01:57:48] through.

[01:57:49] Moose itself is only 21 miles wide. That's the real limitation here. It is a geographic

[01:57:57] choke point that 20% of the entire planet's energy needs pass through. The only reason

[01:58:07] why Iran never did this is because they thought, the only reason why Iran never did this is

[01:58:13] Because they thought they could deal, perhaps naively, with the Western world through multilateral

[01:58:20] cooperative agreements, through negotiations.

[01:58:23] Barack Obama's JCPOA was a sign that this was possible.

[01:58:29] But ever since Donald Trump came into office the first time around, America has shown time

[01:58:34] and time again that they have no investment in negotiating with Iran.

[01:58:37] They have no interest in negotiating with Iran.

[01:58:39] Trump is unbelievably loyal to Israel. Israel is the country that does not want America

[01:58:47] to negotiate with Iran. The last time America negotiated with Iran, Barack Obama did so,

[01:58:52] and Israel very clearly showed that they hated that. Benjamin Enio came to the United States

[01:58:57] of America, delivered a speech in front of Congress that Barack Obama obviously didn't

[01:59:03] participate in. That entire speech was shitting on Barack Obama. Many of you are too young

[01:59:08] to remember this. That was after the JCPOA. That was after Barack Obama successfully engaged

[01:59:14] Iran diplomatically created a multilateral agreement. And as a part of that negotiation,

[01:59:27] we gave Israel a MOU memorandum of understanding for 10 years. $3 billion a year for 10 years,

[01:59:36] more than 30, 38 billion dollars to consistently fund the Iron Dome and even

[01:59:46] then Israel was not happy with the JCPOA, Donald Trump became president, he ripped

[01:59:50] it apart and since then we've turned up the pressure on Iran and obviously the

[02:00:00] The last thing that we did was the last attempt at negotiation by Iran and the last instance

[02:00:10] of perfidy by America and Israel, not dissimilar to the events that unfolded in the 12-day war,

[02:00:18] was a negotiation process where Iran was seemingly open to concessions on the maximalist demands

[02:00:25] that Donald Trump had made, and how did they get paid for it?

[02:00:33] Donald Trump and Israel engaged in a decapitation strike amidst the negotiations process and

[02:00:42] ended up killing 160-plus little girls at school on the first day of those bombing campaigns.

[02:00:50] This is what led to Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz and starting their mosaic, decentralized

[02:00:58] horizontal defense system where they started pummeling the Gulf and pummeling Israel over

[02:01:04] and over again.

[02:01:06] That was 69 days ago.

[02:01:14] has followed us up the escalation ladder this entire time. And even after all of that, there's

[02:01:24] still an opportunity to negotiate. And yet it seems America is still invested in bombing

[02:01:32] Iran somehow, and that's where we're at. Farz says our investigation into Bandar Abbas

[02:01:40] shows that during the exchange of fire between iranian armed forces

[02:01:44] and the enemy parts of the commercial area of bahman kashm pier were targeted

[02:01:48] some source including an israeli source of claim that the ua fighter just bombed

[02:01:51] this dock

[02:01:52] a thorough investigation of the dimensions of this incident

[02:01:55] and verification of the claims made is still ongoing

[02:01:59] what i'm gathering so far is a two-hustle drones were shot down over

[02:02:02] bond our boss separately

[02:02:03] there was an explosion at the bahman kashm dock across from bond our boss

[02:02:10] A senior Iranian military official also told IRIB that they struck an American ship that

[02:02:16] was attacking an Iranian tanker in the Strait.

[02:02:20] Israeli journalists have said that Iran may have targeted two U.S. destroyers transiting

[02:02:23] eastbound out of the Strait of Hormuz in response to the U.S. intradictions of Iranian tankers

[02:02:27] earlier.

[02:02:29] Developments in the Persian Gulf this evening, as I understand them, Iran recently attacked

[02:02:32] American missile destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz area while they were making their

[02:02:35] way out of the Strait.

[02:02:37] The Iranian attack came in response to the fact that a few hours earlier in the afternoon,

[02:02:41] U.S. military forces attacked Iranian tankers as a part of enforcing their blockade on Hormuz.

[02:02:46] In Israel, they are closely monitoring the developments in the Gulf.

[02:02:51] So now the remainder of the Iranian Navy is attacking the American naval assets in the

[02:03:00] region.

[02:03:02] This is an escalation.

[02:03:03] We are moving away, every step in this direction is a step away from negotiations.

[02:03:11] We're moving away from negotiations.

[02:03:13] This once again benefits Israel tremendously.

[02:03:16] Iranian nuclear facilities are much more destroyed, much less able to reconstruct themselves.

[02:03:24] So the Iranians are some years away from reconstructing their facilities, but that doesn't stop

[02:03:30] something like North Korea or Russia giving them stuff in the future and so

[02:03:34] the threat will remain there and the Iranians will make it will say you know

[02:03:38] we have no desire to make a nuclear weapon they've always said that we know

[02:03:41] they're lying they know they're lying and it will pretend that we believe them

[02:03:45] this time we won't but we'll pretend we do and we'll go back to the old process

[02:03:49] there's no phrase in diplomacy if you can't solve a problem you manage it we

[02:03:53] couldn't solve the the Iranian nuclear problem back in 2010 2011 2012 and so

[02:03:59] will be managed it and it was managed that's bullshit too

[02:04:06] I mean there's two different schools of thought here too like where number one

[02:04:12] What do you mean? We have to like solve the Iranian nuclear problem, right?

[02:04:22] Oh shit, Donald Trump weighs in on the new york 17 democratic primary calling epi philips daily a fraudster

[02:04:29] Oh my god.

[02:04:36] Oh my god.

[02:04:51] I mean that's a W boost I think.

[02:04:55] Yeah, I also responded to Mike Lawler. Oh, they're fucking scared, dude. Oh my god, they're so scared. Holy shit.

[02:05:06] It's unbelievable. Oh my god.

[02:05:10] Oh my god.

[02:05:14] Dude.

[02:05:17] this is a little bit terrifying. Okay. As you guys know yesterday, I covered this bipartisan

[02:05:32] representative introduced the combat anti-Semism online. Jake Tapper had Josh Gottheimer and

[02:05:38] Mike Lawler on. I said, disgraceful of representative Josh Gottheimer to collab with the Republican

[02:05:44] Mike Lawler who's sitting on a flippable district that I'm actively working in to win for Democrat F.E. Phillips staley

[02:05:49] Guess when your highest priority is defending Israel's interest defeating fascist Republicans is low priority

[02:05:56] To which Mike Lawler

[02:05:58] Responded the Sampai says America deserve 9-11 in the Hamas a thousand times better than Israel and he would vote for them every single time

[02:06:05] Apparently, he doesn't actually understand who lives in my district

[02:06:07] Hassan Baha'an, I welcome you to come to my district any day and tell the cops and firefighters

[02:06:11] they deserve 9-11 and tell my Jewish constituents that you support a terrorist organization and

[02:06:16] we're okay with innocent Jews being slaughtered.

[02:06:19] Effie for Congress, please make sure you let us know when he's coming to campaign for you.

[02:06:23] Effie for Congress responded, these are the same cops and firefighters who lost healthcare

[02:06:27] because of you and the same Jewish voters who are at risk because of your endless Middle

[02:06:30] East wars.

[02:06:31] Keep talking Mike, the more you do it, the worse it gets for you.

[02:06:35] I also responded to Mike, and I said, your constituents like paying $4.50 a gallon so

[02:06:45] Trump can wage Israel's war.

[02:06:47] You brutalize your constituents last time you held the town hall, little man.

[02:06:51] Your days in office are numbered and you know it.

[02:06:56] And now Donald Trump has gotten involved.

[02:07:03] calling out Effie Phillips Staley, our candidate in the race, when the Democratic primaries

[02:07:11] have not even taken place yet.

[02:07:16] Why is Donald Trump calling out Effie Phillips Staley before the Democratic primaries have

[02:07:27] even taken place?

[02:07:30] Why is Mike Lawler writing bipartisan condemnation bills alongside Representative Josh Gottheimer?

[02:07:39] To call me out.

[02:07:47] Effie Phillips-Staley so far is not even the frontrunner in this.

[02:07:59] Mike Lawler says, claims, the petitions filed by F.E. for Congress had significant fraud

[02:08:04] this morning's ruling while allowing F.E. to remain on the ballot made clear that a

[02:08:07] campaign allowed numerous individuals to fraudulently collect signatures.

[02:08:11] Judge Freed has referred it to criminal prosecution, while some will try to gloss over the fact

[02:08:16] that, and say the petition was not permeated with fraud based upon prior case law, the

[02:08:20] fact that a candidate for Congress would file hundreds of fraudulent signatures is beyond

[02:08:23] disqualifying.

[02:08:26] Mike Lawler isn't even going after the other Democrats.

[02:08:29] Mike Lawler is only going after Effie Phillips-Staley.

[02:08:33] That should say something to you.

[02:08:36] Now Donald Trump is also referring to one of the three candidates that are on the Democratic

[02:08:45] primary side.

[02:08:52] Why is that the case?

[02:08:55] Why do you think that's the case?

[02:08:58] Congressman Mike Lawler is doing a terrific job for New York 17th Congressional District.

[02:09:02] Mike will most likely be running against a radical left Democrat named Effie Phillips

[02:09:06] Staley, who loves high taxes, open borders, anti-Semitism, men and women's sports, and

[02:09:10] transgender for everybody, among other crazy ideas.

[02:09:13] Effie Phillips Staley's campaign has just been caught cheating, red-handed, trying to

[02:09:17] file hundreds of fraudulent signatures to get on the ballot.

[02:09:20] Justice should be sought, and the fraud should be investigated immediately.

[02:09:24] Ivy Phillip Staley is a fraudster, but the good news is that Congressman Mike Lawler

[02:09:27] is a winner, and has my complete and total endorsement, Mike will never let you down.

[02:09:46] Oh my God.

[02:09:52] Will the Democrats recognize what's going on or will they lean into Trump's attacks and

[02:09:57] go, actually, Trump is right.

[02:10:00] We normally would act as though we hate Donald Trump, but in this circumstance, we're gonna

[02:10:03] hand it to him.

[02:10:16] You know the answer?

[02:10:34] I think Trump might be one of the few people on the Republican side that's too smart to

[02:10:53] recognize that highlighting me in any way shape or form is only beneficial for me and

[02:10:58] therefore he's not doing it.

[02:11:04] Yeah. Jason B. Furman, F.E. for Congress calls Mike Lawler's unsuccessful lawsuit to kick

[02:11:12] her off the primary ballot embarrassing after a judge ruled in her favor. Today, Mike Lawler

[02:11:16] was overwhelmingly defeated. Today, Mike Lawler was overwhelmingly defeated in his desperate

[02:11:22] effort to silence thousands of Democratic voters and disenfranchised more than 100 volunteers

[02:11:26] who powered my grassroots petition campaign. A judge has officially ruled in our favor.

[02:11:30] My name will appear on both the Democratic and Working Families Party lines for the

[02:11:34] June 23rd primary.

[02:11:36] This embarrassing loss exposed the lengths to which Mike Lawler will follow the mega

[02:11:40] playbook to subvert our democracy.

[02:11:43] As a cosponsor of legislation to deny millions of American citizens their right to vote,

[02:11:49] Lawler has once again shown that he is a foot soldier in Donald Trump's attempts to slide

[02:11:53] our country into authoritarianism and fascism.

[02:11:55] We are in a pivotal moment in our history with Trump and Lawler actively trying to tear

[02:12:00] down the very institutions that protect us.

[02:12:04] If we are to restore America's faith in democracy, then we must vote

[02:12:07] Maga Mike Lawler out in November.

[02:12:17] Mike Lawler responded to that by saying, what's embarrassing is that the

[02:12:19] candidate for Congress would pay a firm to hire folks to commit fraud.

[02:12:21] They hired people registered in living in New Jersey to collect signatures.

[02:12:24] In addition to faking hundreds of signatures of voters in New York, it

[02:12:28] was so egregious the judge referred it to criminal prosecution while the judge

[02:12:31] ultimately ruled she had enough valid signatures the real question is how much

[02:12:34] fraud is legally permissible in wire folks also she did have enough

[02:12:37] signatures okay got it thanks Mike thanks Mike why is Mike Lawler and

[02:12:46] Donald Trump so afraid

[02:12:58] Why are they so afraid that they're actively weighing in on this race before the Democratic

[02:13:25] primary.

[02:13:44] A Trump endorsed Democrat Lamau, the pro Effie ads are writing themselves.

[02:13:49] No, no, Mike Lawler is not a Democrat.

[02:13:51] Mike Lawler is a Republican.

[02:13:53] a democratic primary taking place, we got to get Effie Phillips daily in, okay? Remember,

[02:14:11] if you can't maintain revolutionary optimism and hold on to like little pockets of hope,

[02:14:16] Do it out of spite, okay?

[02:14:20] Do it out of spite.

[02:14:24] The fraud allegations at a wrinkle but surely Trump condemning a primary candidate is a huge

[02:14:28] boost to someone whose biggest obstacle is name recognition note?

[02:14:30] Oh, absolutely.

[02:14:32] Absolutely freaking lutely.

[02:14:35] Are you kidding me?

[02:14:46] But spite burns quick, okay, but it can be tinder to ignite your passion.

[02:15:01] And then you can hold on to pockets of hope.

[02:15:04] You got a donate link for her?

[02:15:06] Yes, I do.

[02:15:07] Chatters have been spamming it already.

[02:15:10] You're being featured on Pakistani news.

[02:15:12] Wait, what?

[02:15:14] the

[02:15:30] Yeah, I saw this, Mike Lawler and Josh Gottheimer have become quite the team in addition to their new bill condemning Sampaiger last year they teamed up for the anti-IGO bill that would sentence Americans who boycott Israel to 20 years in prison and another bill to give Israel B2 bombers.

[02:15:45] Israel first, man. That's it. There's one party that transcends above all American interests,

[02:15:53] and that is the Israel first party. You got Democrats in the Israel first party. You got

[02:15:58] Republicans in the Israel first party. Damn near the entirety, the Republicans with the

[02:16:01] exception of Thomas Massie are in the Israel first party. And a big chunk of the Democrats

[02:16:06] are there too. Some of them are too shy. Some of them obviously are too shy to admit it.

[02:16:14] Okay.

[02:16:39] Making you the lead writing candidate,

[02:16:44] that

[02:16:48] that against Corey Booker that's funny

[02:17:22] claim your home? Yeah, sure. All right, let's get back to Iran now for the time being.

[02:17:31] You get quite successfully. Are you going? Are you going to be a major figure discussion

[02:17:36] in the midterm elections? Unfortunately, yes. Trump is discovering the same thing. He can't

[02:17:40] solve the problem, but he's going to have to manage it. He's going to have to make that

[02:17:43] management process look somehow different to the one we had before. Is there another

[02:17:48] point or is this not fair that Iran both economically and militarily is much weaker than it was?

[02:17:54] Yeah, undoubtedly. And that if peace is temporarily held is a is a positive at least for a number

[02:18:02] of years if not for a number of decades? Yes, I don't know about decades but President Trump

[02:18:06] could certainly say look Iran is much weaker than it was, much weaker, that's certainly true

[02:18:10] and the but the leadership is stronger so you know he's got a less pliable group

[02:18:17] of revolutionary guard leaders there now and I do think there will be a

[02:18:23] reckoning between the population and the government in Iran I mean that the

[02:18:27] situation for ordinary Iranians you know 90 million of them and at least 70

[02:18:31] million probably 80 million of them but at least 70 million of that 90 million

[02:18:34] they hate the government they hate them and there will be a reckoning but

[02:18:38] But probably not soon, maybe in a couple of years, maybe four or five years.

[02:18:42] There will be a reckoning.

[02:18:43] And when that reckoning comes, I'm sure it'll be very violent, which it might not have been

[02:18:47] before.

[02:18:48] But it will occur.

[02:18:49] I think President Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu will get their regime change, but probably

[02:18:53] not while they're in office.

[02:18:55] It'll come down the road.

[02:18:56] There will be a new Iran emerging out of this because Iran is in such dire straits economically

[02:19:02] compared to where it was a year ago.

[02:19:04] mentioned their president Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu and I'm just

[02:19:09] interested because obviously before you were talking about how America wants an

[02:19:13] off-ramp right they want to get out of it what does Israel want now yeah they

[02:19:17] don't want the war to stop because Israel's got its own war so this war

[02:19:20] within a war is Israel's war on Hezbollah to once and for all to hit

[02:19:25] Hezbollah so hard it will demolish it and Hezbollah is Israel's main

[02:19:29] opposition really I mean Israel has never bothered too much about Hamas it's

[02:19:33] suit to them to have Hamas in Gaza because it kept the Palestine in split.

[02:19:36] They're never much worried about the Houthis, they were just a nuisance from their point

[02:19:40] of view in Yemen.

[02:19:41] They worried a lot about Iran because Iran was their big problem and they think that

[02:19:46] if the Iranian problem has now been at least mitigated by the destruction, now their main

[02:19:51] problem remains Hezbollah.

[02:19:53] And Israel wants to carry on.

[02:19:56] This process that we've seen this week has gone on without any real consultation with

[02:20:00] Israel.

[02:20:01] And so two things are happening.

[02:20:02] One is that Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking reassurances from the Trump administration

[02:20:07] that they won't give in too much, that they will stick to, you know, a tough plan on nuclear

[02:20:14] negotiations, and that getting the highly enriched uranium out of Iran, this 400 kilos

[02:20:21] or so of highly enriched uranium, must leave Iran to some third country.

[02:20:26] That's probably going to happen, and that's very, very important to the Israelis.

[02:20:29] So they've got their issues that they want to press, but they're not in the good position.

[02:20:34] If Trump needs to make a deal before he goes to China, which he probably does, which is

[02:20:39] next week, he'll tell the Israelis, you've got to cool it in Lebanon, because the Israelis

[02:20:44] can be spoilers to what is going on between Tehran and Washington.

[02:20:47] And the Israelis are very anxious now, I think, to do as much as they can against his bala

[02:20:52] in the four or five days they've got left before they're told they must stop.

[02:20:56] I wanted to ask Michael just quickly about your view of the U.S. and China's meeting

[02:21:01] next week and the extent to which Taiwan will be a discussion point as opposed to potentially

[02:21:08] a military target for China and whether it's even plausible that President Trump is willing

[02:21:15] to sacrifice Taiwan over a very long-term time horizon in order to get some kind of

[02:21:22] agreement with President Xi on other areas.

[02:21:24] Yeah, it's entirely plausible.

[02:21:26] I mean, in the first Trump administration, Fiona Hill,

[02:21:29] you know, the British analyst who worked in the first Trump administration,

[02:21:33] she said very openly, she said, you know,

[02:21:35] President Trump made it pretty clear to China then

[02:21:38] that Taiwan was an issue, but it shouldn't stand in the way

[02:21:42] of better relations between the United States and China

[02:21:45] and sorting out the trade imbalance between them.

[02:21:47] I think there's a general sense in China

[02:21:49] that Trump will not fight a war for Taiwan.

[02:21:52] On the other hand, the Chinese, they don't want to invade Taiwan, they will if they have to,

[02:21:59] but what they're doing is trying, is I call it the Anaconda strategy, they're trying to squeeze

[02:22:03] Taiwan with military deployments around it. They want to indicate to Taiwan that they're isolated,

[02:22:09] and sooner or later Taiwan, it would be better if you made a political decision to come back into

[02:22:14] our, into the fold, make it now before it gets worse, before we need to invade you. And I think

[02:22:20] I think that's the nature of China's policy, and that's probably a 10-year policy now.

[02:22:24] Xi Jinping used to say that he wanted it resolved before he stepped down, which is 2027.

[02:22:29] But he's clearly not going to step down in 2027.

[02:22:31] He's going for a fourth term at least.

[02:22:33] So I think we've gotten to 2031 before it has to be resolved in his mind.

[02:22:38] Well, it wasn't even meant to be 2027.

[02:22:39] No, of course.

[02:22:40] So...

[02:22:41] So two terms originally.

[02:22:42] Yeah.

[02:22:43] I mean, like all dictators, they fix the Constitution and just keep going extra terms, which he will do.

[02:22:47] I'm sure he will.

[02:22:48] As always Michael, a pleasure. Thanks so much. We'll chat with Michael again later on in the program now according to President Trump

[02:22:54] The US has had quote very good talks with Iran over the last 24 hours

[02:22:58] But the words from inside Iran seems to be mixed one of Tehran's top negotiators is mocking the president's brief operation to guide ships through the straight-in-form moves

[02:23:06] He wrote the quote operation trust me bro

[02:23:10] failed

[02:23:11] Sarah all right joining me now is seen in chief international anchor Christian. Oh come on

[02:23:16] No, no, no point point to the other thing that he said he called Axios folks. Yo's

[02:23:25] He said he said Axios is folks. Yo's like fake. Yo's as well and poor

[02:23:34] Just let's first start with this you saw the operation

[02:23:37] We got to take a L both on the military side and also on the propaganda like how was that fucking possible, dude?

[02:23:46] Like that that part actually does hurt me a little bit like look

[02:23:51] I'm not like a like a nationalistic person by any means

[02:23:54] But it is kind of unbelievable that Iran is not only not only putting belt to ass when it comes to the military stuff

[02:24:02] it is like

[02:24:04] Holding out and is a far more formidable opponent than the Americans it clearly thought they would be

[02:24:11] But on the propaganda front it does hurt a little bit like we got the best

[02:24:16] We got Hollywood, man.

[02:24:20] We got Hollywood.

[02:24:22] How is it that Gallabath has a bunch of like fucking 26 year olds in his staff and they're writing better tweets?

[02:24:33] We got nothing new Trump poses at the timeline, what did he say?

[02:24:40] Your shirts looking weak today. It's bullshit. How dare you?

[02:24:46] How are they more educated but also better it means well being better looking to have a better style is just not fair

[02:24:53] No, their bitches are bad, bro. Their bitches are batter. Okay

[02:24:57] Their weed way louder than our weed. How is this possible? What's next? Are they gonna fucking start flipping burgers better, too?

[02:25:05] If they invent a better burger, I'm out. I mean they got Kubi day. I guess so there is that too

[02:25:11] They got us on the Kubi day side, too

[02:25:16] It's bullshit, man. It's fucking bullshit.

[02:25:21] Uh, Jennifer Griffin at, uh, uh, Fox News chief national security correspondent for

[02:25:30] Fox News says, US military just carried out strikes on Iran's Kesham port and bonded a

[02:25:34] boss senior US official tells me, but this is not every starting of the war more. Okay.

[02:25:40] So I guess it wasn't the UAE. It was America, or at least America's taking ownership over

[02:25:44] the strikes on Kesham Port in an effort to, I guess, hopefully try to preserve the idea

[02:25:51] of Dubai.

[02:25:54] Air defense is now active over Tehran.

[02:26:02] So they're back.

[02:26:06] So it's back.

[02:26:07] It's back on.

[02:26:08] They're like, no, no, no, this is a ceasefire, but you don't understand.

[02:26:12] This is a ceasefire where we're just, you know, continuing to fire.

[02:26:16] That's just a unique kind of ceasefire that you've never actually experienced before where

[02:26:21] we just keep firing and Iran fires back.

[02:26:25] So I guess it's not a fucking ceasefire at all.

[02:26:27] That was put out by one of the chief negotiators.

[02:26:30] But you also heard Donald Trump spoke to Fox News on the phone saying this should be wrapped

[02:26:36] up in a week.

[02:26:37] So what are you sort of expecting at this point?

[02:26:39] Can we hear all these different views at the same time?

[02:26:46] Well, I think they are the same views

[02:26:47] that we've been hearing.

[02:26:48] First, defiance from the Iranian side

[02:26:50] and a very sophisticated trolling activity.

[02:26:54] And secondly, President Trump,

[02:26:56] literally talking all the time

[02:26:58] to various individual news organizations

[02:27:01] or in press conferences or whenever the camera

[02:27:03] is in his face about what actually he thinks

[02:27:05] is gonna happen.

[02:27:06] What is absolutely clear is neither the United States

[02:27:09] nor Iran wants to go back to full-scale war.

[02:27:12] It is not in anybody's interest, neither the US

[02:27:15] and the rest of the world, nor Iran.

[02:27:17] So now the question has always been,

[02:27:18] for the last weeks of this ceasefire,

[02:27:20] who has the highest patience level and pain threshold?

[02:27:24] And this is what is the big gamble right now,

[02:27:27] the big sort of wait and see.

[02:27:29] So if there is this one-page document

[02:27:31] that will try to open up the Strait of Hormuz,

[02:27:34] deal with that, President Trump declares victory,

[02:27:36] and then tries to deal, and must deal,

[02:27:38] with the nuclear issue, then that seems to be probably more likely.

[02:27:43] Let us not forget that none of these operations that the United States has tried, the latest

[02:27:47] being Operation Freedom, so-called, to move boats and escort them out of the strait, has

[02:27:52] worked.

[02:27:53] They just haven't worked.

[02:27:54] In the meantime, the world economy is worse and worse.

[02:27:57] Iran is in a whole load of pain economically.

[02:28:00] Their civilians, the poverty level, the wastage to the civilian infrastructure, obviously

[02:28:07] their weapons systems and all the rest of it have been dramatically

[02:28:11] weakened. So the question is now

[02:28:13] what is Iran going to say back to the latest US proposal? Knowing as we know

[02:28:17] that they are prepared for more war, as they keep saying, they believe it might

[02:28:21] even be inevitable.

[02:28:23] The United States doesn't want it even though it has so much military,

[02:28:27] personnel and weapons systems

[02:28:29] and everything sort of in that region ready and prepared.

[02:28:33] so i i think that this is you know again a little bit of way to see and i think

[02:28:38] also let's face it counterpoint to almond poor

[02:28:42] this is the crucial take away says gregory brew

[02:28:46] senior analyst uh... at uh... senior analyst for iran oil at your age group

[02:28:51] the data suggests iran has months of time before it really feels the crunch

[02:28:54] but the capacity of the regime to absorb pain and to meet it out to the populace

[02:28:58] suggests a longer and perhaps indefinite timeline

[02:29:01] So, I mean, this is a little bit, this is a little bit of that classic, like, oh, the Iranians are

[02:29:09] more authoritarian than us, therefore they can hold out. They did this with, like,

[02:29:15] the Liberation Day tariffs back and forth as well with China, where they were like,

[02:29:19] well, China is authoritarian, so they can absorb a lot of the economic shocks.

[02:29:23] I mean, at the end of the day, if you're talking about waging war against the country, like,

[02:29:32] yeah, of course, they're going to clamp on members of the population that engage in destabilizing

[02:29:40] acts.

[02:29:41] But ultimately, what matters is who gets to hold out for how long.

[02:29:47] And it is clear that America or the rest of the, not even just America, but like the global

[02:29:53] economy cannot withstand four months of a unlimited blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.

[02:30:01] They can't.

[02:30:10] We're not even obviously factoring in the untold amounts of pain that we are subjecting

[02:30:18] regular Iranians to in the process.

[02:30:21] But even if you were to calculate the harm being done to Asian countries and the populations

[02:30:26] there, something that they did not want to happen at all, something that they had no

[02:30:30] say in happening at all.

[02:30:37] We go back to the three M's, markets, munitions, and midterms.

[02:30:41] There's going to be a tremendous amount of domestic pressure.

[02:30:43] It's already started, where Americans are frustrated with the increase in prices of

[02:30:50] the gas pump.

[02:30:53] Markets have done well so far, record high profits as always.

[02:30:58] There's a lot of corporate consolidation.

[02:31:00] However, there are some signals that things are not going too great for every sector, for every industry.

[02:31:09] Spirit Airlines obviously is gone. It's done. The price of jet fuel was the final blow that destroyed this low-cost carrier.

[02:31:19] And you have the Shell CEO screaming bloody murder as well, for some reason, right?

[02:31:26] So even if the market performance is fine for the time being, there are clear indications that things are actually not as healthy as one would assume.

[02:31:39] And on the munitions front, we already know that America has expended a tremendous amount of its standoff munitions because they can't expend the much cheaper,

[02:31:50] much more plentiful gravity bombs, unguided and guided gravity bombs, that

[02:31:56] they would be able to deploy if they had full-blown air superiority over the

[02:32:01] Iranian airspace. So we're going back to square one, which already failed. We know

[02:32:08] it failed because after 69 days the straight is still closed.

[02:32:15] All the while we lied to ourselves and anyone who would listen that we had

[02:32:20] destroyed the iranian strike capabilities meanwhile

[02:32:23] is new report from a john hudson is new scoop from john hudson proves

[02:32:27] what i've been saying all along

[02:32:29] that america has not been able to successfully diminish iranian strike

[02:32:32] capabilities at all

[02:32:34] they have seventy five percent of their focus stockpiles they've been able to

[02:32:37] dig themselves out

[02:32:39] uh... the the case systems that they were inside of

[02:32:44] it has been a spectacular flood

[02:32:47] a massive defeat

[02:32:53] and yet

[02:32:54] seemingly the united states of america does not want to turn around

[02:32:59] and admit that defeat

[02:33:06] the straight of all was was not an issue before the war started on february

[02:33:09] twenty eight it was not an issue the new case you was being negotiated at the

[02:33:14] table the day before the war was started. So now it's almost starting from zero and wondering what

[02:33:20] you're going to get better than you could have done on the days before the war. Sure, you've

[02:33:25] got a much weaker Iran, but it's still there. And it has consolidated itself around the hard liners.

[02:33:31] You just said there were demonstrations. Well, those are.

[02:33:33] Yeah. Fox News is citing a senior US official saying that the US has taken credit for the attacks

[02:33:40] that were carried out on Kesham Island and Bandar Abbas, the port, and that they're also

[02:33:45] claiming that the strikes are not a resumption of the war on Iran. Okay, so what does that mean?

[02:33:54] Like, you can't just say, oh, this is not a resumption of the war. We're just doing some

[02:33:58] strikes on Iranian soil. At a certain point, America is using the Israel technique of saying,

[02:34:06] No, no, no, we cease. There's a ceasefire still implemented. You cease. We fire

[02:34:12] So now it's absolutely up to Iran

[02:34:16] To establish to reestablish military deterrence

[02:34:23] Is it a ceasefire

[02:34:25] Will America continue claiming it's a ceasefire even if Iran starts firing back as they did so this past week

[02:34:32] If you recall, they tried to claim that the ceasefire continued when they did operation

[02:34:38] you know prosperity freedom or whatever the fuck they claimed they were going to do, where

[02:34:43] they tried to transit ships from the state of Hormuz with naval assets and then Iran

[02:34:49] started bombing the United Arab Emirates and also attacked those ships as well.

[02:34:55] The strike on one of Iran's oil ports comes two days after Iran fired 15 ballistic and

[02:35:06] cruise missiles at the UAE Fujaira port, eliciting anger from Gulf countries after toppenning

[02:35:11] on leaders said Tuesday that the Iranian strikes did not rise to the level of breaking the

[02:35:15] ceasefire, calling it low-level attacks that didn't rise to that level.

[02:35:19] President Trump abruptly called off Project Freedom to open the Strait of Hormuz and guide

[02:35:22] ships through the Strait after announcing the start of the military operations on Sunday.

[02:35:52] The Gulf States genuinely think that they could just get away with allowing the Americans

[02:36:06] to utilize their soil to do strikes on Iran or to violate the ceasefire conditions set

[02:36:13] forth by America and Iran.

[02:36:16] This makes no sense.

[02:36:17] They think they can do all of this and not receive any penalties for it.

[02:36:23] It's unbelievable.

[02:36:27] America demonstrates this hubris with regular frequency because it's the United States of

[02:36:31] America.

[02:36:32] If you're a Gulf state that thinks you're going to be able to get away with behaving

[02:36:35] like America when you're in striking distance of Iran, well, there's a very different reality

[02:36:39] there for you.

[02:36:41] Okay?

[02:36:43] This is huge and confirms the notion that the Saudis were quietly back in the U.S. war

[02:36:46] Iran was a complete myth. It never made sense to start with, given the eminently predictable

[02:36:50] devastating consequences the war has had on Saudi Arabia. Why on earth would they have signed up for

[02:36:54] it? It also confirms that the Saudis, and I suspect many other actors in the region, no longer see

[02:36:58] the US military presence on their soil as a security guarantee. Which is another way in which Iran is

[02:37:03] winning strategically. Many people were wondering what possible strategic calculus Iran could have

[02:37:08] in mindlessly bombing all their neighbors, as many were putting it. Well, the whole point was

[02:37:12] precisely so that those neighbors would do exactly what the Saudis just did.

[02:37:17] QED.

[02:37:18] Trump just abruptly U-turned on a plan to reopen the Shredda Hormuz came after Saudi

[02:37:21] Arabia suspended U.S. access to its bases in airspace.

[02:37:24] They might reopen it, but if they do reopen it, then Iran will continue bombing the bases.

[02:37:34] This is necessary for re-establishing military deterrence.

[02:37:41] Protesters against the regime, as you pointed out, those are authorized and sanctioned pro-government shows of defiance.

[02:37:49] This morning it is your wrong...

[02:37:51] Chatters, I'm going to cover the UK election news when there is UK election news.

[02:37:57] From what I understand, there is no UK election news just yet.

[02:38:02] Okay?

[02:38:04] Iran's move.

[02:38:06] So there were pro-regime protests erupting in Tehran, you can see them right there as

[02:38:11] a source tells CNN that Iran is expected to respond today to the latest U.S. proposal

[02:38:17] to end the war.

[02:38:19] We are told that a one-page memo is being floated that would formally declare the conflict

[02:38:24] over and then trigger a 30-day negotiating period to resolve the more serious sticking

[02:38:29] points, including the nuclear issues on freezing Iranian assets and the future security in

[02:38:34] the Strait of Formuz.

[02:38:35] Now, President Trump has been sounding optimistic.

[02:38:38] He says Iran has already agreed to some of the sticking points.

[02:38:43] But the words from Iran certainly more defiant.

[02:38:47] The parliament speaker there, one of the top negotiators, mocked the president's short-lived

[02:38:52] operation to guide ships through the Strait of Formuz.

[02:38:55] He wrote that, quote, Operation Trust Me Bro failed.

[02:38:59] Let's get to the scene as Elina Trine at the White House

[02:39:02] this morning.

[02:39:03] And we're waiting for white smoke or black smoke

[02:39:05] to emerge from the White House.

[02:39:07] We're waiting to hear, frankly.

[02:39:08] I don't mean to joke about it, but right now it's just

[02:39:10] a waiting game to hear what Iran says, right?

[02:39:12] And there was a question.

[02:39:14] No, absolutely.

[02:39:15] And I did appreciate your poke joke,

[02:39:17] given that we know the Secretary of State,

[02:39:18] Mark Rubio, is expected to meet with him today.

[02:39:20] But to go back to the topic at hand on Iran.

[02:39:24] look we heard it from uh... the spokesperson of four

[02:39:27] uh... the foreign ministry in tehran said they have received the u.s. proposal

[02:39:31] that they were studying it and the expectation we have got and got in from

[02:39:35] our sources is that they are expected to deliver a response to that proposal

[02:39:40] to today

[02:39:41] now of course the iranians what we are hearing is that it is expected to be

[02:39:45] positive i think the key question of course is what is positive for the

[02:39:49] iranians is not necessarily positive

[02:39:52] black smoke means get a new gas prices been chosen is great

[02:39:56] means not great for the people experiencing it uh... you know ourselves

[02:40:00] included but

[02:40:01] the joker for everyone else uh... and also of course the big question is whether

[02:40:06] or not

[02:40:06] what they said back will really line up and match with what of course the u.s.

[02:40:11] has been putting forward now uh... i will say that one thing that we have

[02:40:15] heard

[02:40:16] uh... from the president is he told us to see bs yesterday and in our excuse me to

[02:40:20] PBS yesterday in an interview is this question of highly enriched uranium he

[02:40:24] essentially said that we're gonna go get it that has been a huge sticking point

[02:40:27] throughout all of this particularly for the Iranians so they're of course still

[02:40:33] very controversial points to all of this that still need to be worked out but I

[02:40:39] will say at least from the White House perspective they are cautiously

[02:40:42] optimistic they are hoping that the positive feedback they are receiving

[02:40:45] from the Pakistanis that the Iranians are moving closer to a compromise is

[02:40:50] going to prove to be true. They're also just encouraged by any forward movement in these talks

[02:40:54] right now. So we are standing by. I'm waiting. I'm watching a Twitter from the US to find out

[02:40:59] whether the Green Party won my council or not. Law. Yeah, brother. Wait till you find out that

[02:41:05] the leader of the Green Party is also a friend.

[02:41:13] And during election night, he was in here in the American election. Obviously he was in here

[02:41:18] watching, looking to find out what took place in the American elections.

[02:41:23] Yep.

[02:41:36] Zach Polanski, Hassan Abihed.

[02:41:43] We are wherever the working class is. If the working class is international, as it is, then we're there.

[02:41:48] First results are at 4pm PST and apparently most results will be coming in tomorrow.

[02:41:53] Waiting to see what exactly the Iranians put forth, John.

[02:41:57] Do you have any sense of where things stand at this moment?

[02:42:00] Based on what I know and it's not classified information.

[02:42:04] There is a framework. It's nebulous. It provides, in effect, for an extension of...

[02:42:11] By the way, Blumenthal, you might be shocked to hear this, but Richard Blumenthal, unbelievably pro-Israel,

[02:42:27] you might say, what Hassan, another democratic politician is very pro-Israel, that's unbelievable.

[02:42:36] Oh, well, it gives me no pleasure to report this, but Apsifuckin' Lutely he is.

[02:42:42] The ceasefire, despite the exchange of hostilities that have occurred over the last 48 hours,

[02:42:51] the president's saying that the ceasefire continues, but it is more like a path forward

[02:42:59] than a genuine peace proposal.

[02:43:01] So an extension leaving the harder issues until later, like Iran's nuclear program,

[02:43:07] how would you feel about some kind of signed document today which doesn't deal with the

[02:43:13] enriched uranium still inside Iran?

[02:43:16] A nuclear armed Iran is unacceptable.

[02:43:19] I think there's a lot of consensus on that point.

[02:43:22] But what we're more likely to see as a result of this exchange of papers is simply an agreement

[02:43:31] to try to seek an agreement.

[02:43:33] And the president's under pressure

[02:43:34] because he's going to China on March 14th,

[02:43:38] and he wants some progress before then.

[02:43:41] He has made a fundamental miscalculation

[02:43:43] that bombing alone would accomplish his objectives.

[02:43:48] Those objectives have been shifting and contradictory,

[02:43:51] securing the enriched uranium, changing the regime,

[02:43:56] destroying the missile production capacity,

[02:43:59] halting the terrorist attacks, none has been achieved because bombing and bomb

[02:44:06] bass and bluster are not capable of doing it. So he's under a lot of pressure

[02:44:11] to extricate the United States and avoid the continuing costs that are

[02:44:17] imposed on the American people. So again, and we don't know specifics of this

[02:44:21] one page document, but the broad framework sort of an extension with a

[02:44:26] discussion on the rest in peace to Ted Turner, but he had a very funny take on

[02:44:30] this as well. The founder of CNN for those of you who don't know, the eclectic, the

[02:44:37] eccentric billionaire Ted Turner. When asked, I believe around the 2000s when

[02:44:44] they talked about Iran's nuclear weapons program and how big of a threat it

[02:44:49] presents to us. Ted famously said, we have 18,000 nukes. Why can't they have like 10? Who cares?

[02:45:02] Now, I'm not saying it. I'm just using a guy who invented CNN and his sentiment on the issue

[02:45:09] you to my advantage. Okay. The U.S. is selling 1,000 Patriot interceptor missiles worth $17

[02:45:20] billion. The UAE Kuwait and Bahrain, despite a U.S. stockpile depleted by the Iran War,

[02:45:23] the U.S. said last week it was selling $4 billion worth of interceptors to Qatar. All

[02:45:29] all this takes years to make.

[02:45:37] Major issues to come.

[02:45:39] Where would that leave around?

[02:45:40] Oh, he also, no, no, no, it's the full Hassanabi doctrine.

[02:45:43] He literally then followed up by saying no one should have them,

[02:45:48] which is my take as well.

[02:45:50] My take is complete denuclearization across the board.

[02:45:55] I agree with that, but in the absence of complete denuclearization,

[02:45:59] nuclear proliferation is the only way to maintain sovereignty if you're a nation in the periphery.

[02:46:04] That's it.

[02:46:05] On in terms of the strength of the regime today and tomorrow versus the beginning of

[02:46:10] February, Iran is weakened in terms of its missile and drone capacity and its production.

[02:46:20] But the hardliners are very much in control.

[02:46:25] It is we can economically certainly, but it is in control of the straight and it's going

[02:46:31] to insist that it continue to be in control.

[02:46:36] And the question really is, John, as you've identified it very correctly, will they have

[02:46:42] some lesser enrichment of uranium, such as the JCPOA completely.

[02:46:49] So where Trump is now headed seems to be very much the JCPOA, 2.0, maybe slightly changed,

[02:46:59] and it could have been the result of negotiations, not a war that was based on a fundamental

[02:47:06] miscalculation.

[02:47:07] Secretary of Defense Pete Hexa says that I'm paraphrasing here that essentially the

[02:47:10] United States holds all.

[02:47:13] To be fair, regardless of how pro-Israel blue with all is, he was in support of the Iran

[02:47:18] nuclear agreement. Fair is fair. At the Hassanabe broadcast, we call balls and strikes. Blumenthal

[02:47:25] was in favor of JCPOA, so I'm glad that he's one of the few fucking Democratic party Congress

[02:47:32] persons who's actively calling out that there was a successful, there was a successful diplomatic

[02:47:41] process that took place under the Obama administration. And I'm talking about like back in the day,

[02:47:47] In 2015, he announced support for the Iran nuclear agreement as well.

[02:47:51] All the cards.

[02:47:53] Is that how you see it?

[02:47:54] Does Iran have no cards this morning?

[02:47:57] Iran has no cards.

[02:47:58] Were most Dems against JCPOA?

[02:47:59] I wouldn't say most Dems were against it, but some of them were too shy to let their

[02:48:03] opinions be known.

[02:48:05] And there were others who were actively against it, like Chuck Schumer.

[02:48:09] Chuck Schumer was literally against the JCPOA, okay?

[02:48:12] There's levels to this shit.

[02:48:14] That's my point.

[02:48:15] There's levels to, like, Israel dick-eating, okay?

[02:48:17] Some people eat it a little bit.

[02:48:19] Some people take a little nibble of the dick.

[02:48:21] Some people full-throat it, okay?

[02:48:23] Some people throat it all the way down.

[02:48:25] Guac guac, 6,000.

[02:48:27] Chuck Schumer, deep throat, okay?

[02:48:32] A lot of cards, and you're seeing them in real time.

[02:48:35] Americans are paying much higher prices for gasoline,

[02:48:40] but not just for fuel, also for food,

[02:48:43] everything from mattresses to medical devices,

[02:48:45] Everything depended on petrochemicals and plastics.

[02:48:49] And the world economy is at risk all because Iran still holds cards.

[02:48:55] And here's a lesson.

[02:48:58] You can't count on war being quick and easy.

[02:49:01] You can't base it on bombast and bluster or bombing alone.

[02:49:07] And the costs of this war have yet to be fully felt or calculated.

[02:49:13] And I would just emphasize this point.

[02:49:17] This administration has concealed a lot of the costs.

[02:49:20] I've asked repeatedly in classified settings, as well as in open hearings, most recently

[02:49:24] when Hexeth came before the Congress in the hearing last week, what are the costs of this

[02:49:31] war?

[02:49:32] And so far, they've stonewalled and really stalled us and the American people.

[02:49:37] We just put up on the screen there, oil prices are down today, a few more percent on expectations.

[02:49:42] I think that there will be some kind of agreement oil price and gas prices. They should tear up again

[02:49:46] I think the national average is about 456 a gallon of gas which is

[02:49:50] Foxes you show Calcolis key. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god

[02:49:54] The dark woke bring it to your general is finally getting the fox news. No D the fox news notice. Oh my god

[02:50:02] It's happening

[02:50:04] Just to add to the division the Nazi tatted guy who wants to be the next senator from Maine grand Platinum

[02:50:10] Calling Republicans fascists.

[02:50:14] We have multiple paths in front of us.

[02:50:17] One of them is very-

[02:50:18] I'm texting him.

[02:50:19] That is the path of fascism.

[02:50:20] It is the path of bigotry and hatred of racism and xenophobia.

[02:50:29] That is not an option.

[02:50:32] This kind of reminds me, Greg, yesterday, what you were talking about with Jessica.

[02:50:36] Why do you care if I like Donald Trump?

[02:50:39] I mean, well, first, like Hamill's image would be meaningless if you didn't have such a connection

[02:50:44] This show Jennifer Wells first and then Kyle. Oh my god. They're coming after other content creators finally

[02:50:49] Act on this stuff would be just another inflammatory thing. We all do that

[02:50:53] But unfortunately they lead the they lead the league and violent political acts. It's funny in politics

[02:50:58] There are two things. There's the message and there's the package. Trump happens to be both together

[02:51:04] What you see is what you get with Democrats. They've always had to kind of like

[02:51:07] like find a package to hide the message. Joe Biden, you know, old Statesman, old white

[02:51:14] guy, hide the radicalism with Plattener. It's really hard. The packaging with him is the

[02:51:20] message. I mean, what is he said that mirrors the model?

[02:51:24] You know, what's really funny about this? Like, are they just going to highlight all

[02:51:27] of the fucking, all of the fucking goaded content creators on this, on this side, like

[02:51:32] on the commentariat. Kyle Kalinsky, Jennifer Welch, myself. Don't they realize this is

[02:51:39] fucking free promo? I guess they don't. I guess their midterm strategy, unironically,

[02:51:45] is to like attack every left content creator to be like, say these guys are real bad. They're

[02:51:51] a real danger, buddy. We know what you advocate for. We hear your advocacy. Republicans, but

[02:52:00] They've always compared Republicans to some kind of existential threat.

[02:52:04] They've done it with climate change.

[02:52:06] They've done it with compassion.

[02:52:07] They do it with Trump.

[02:52:08] That allows it to label us as a moral.

[02:52:11] But we know, and Harold would agree, Republicans are not evil.

[02:52:14] We have a different path to the pursuit of happiness and serenity in people's lives, safety

[02:52:19] and security.

[02:52:21] I don't care that you hate Trump.

[02:52:23] Why should you care that I like him?

[02:52:26] The answer would be because he's evil, he's like a Nazi.

[02:52:31] Well this is where the whole thing falls apart.

[02:52:34] What does that mean to me if I'm your Republican friend who voted for Trump?

[02:52:39] That you would believe I would support a Nazi.

[02:52:41] We've been friends for years, I've been through this.

[02:52:44] If you're my friend, you have to realize that's illogical because how did we, how will we

[02:52:49] friends for 10 or 20 years and now you found out I was a fascist.

[02:52:53] How did that happen?

[02:52:54] You knew I was a right winger in the 80s and the 90s and now all of a sudden you're like,

[02:52:59] oh, I can't be seen with him.

[02:53:00] So the key moment in the self realization of a liberal should be, if your dad loves

[02:53:07] Trump and you love your dad, shouldn't you maybe question whether your dad doesn't love

[02:53:15] a Hitler figure and therefore maybe Trump is not a Hitler figure?

[02:53:21] And that flaw in your thinking should put into question the reliability on your filter

[02:53:28] on your life, that this thing is not working.

[02:53:32] It's not translating.

[02:53:33] If I love my dad and my dad voted for Trump, but I think Trump is Hitler, there's something

[02:53:39] wrong with my logic.

[02:53:41] Your dad is not a Nazi lover.

[02:53:44] This is why they break off relationships because when they run into those people that they

[02:53:49] they like and they love, it calls it a question that filter.

[02:53:53] And you're asking a lot of them to use logics because they're not obviously using it.

[02:53:58] They're using emotion and Trump for some reason makes them so emotional.

[02:54:03] They're breaking up marriages, Jillian.

[02:54:05] Well, to be frank, Jesse, well, first of all, I would like to say before I start.

[02:54:10] I think after losing your goddamn mind about me, about Graham Platner, about numerous Democrats

[02:54:20] for the past two months, you can't say that the Democrats are being hysterical, right?

[02:54:28] I just don't think you can keep saying that, because you have behaved hysterically.

[02:54:31] You don't have to be in love with them.

[02:54:33] You don't have to marry them, like you just have to-

[02:54:36] Anyway, I don't care about this.

[02:54:37] This is irrelevant.

[02:54:38] I was excited about the prospect of Dark Woke General Kyle Kalinsky getting a mention.

[02:54:46] But seemingly there is no more mentions of Dark Woke General Kyle Kalinsky.

[02:54:51] So let's get back to monitoring the situation and also this university and we will be we

[02:55:00] will be covering the we'll be covering the UK elections as well.

[02:55:08] all the British out there fucking hell the greens the greens are running an

[02:55:14] insurgent campaign taking away the fucking old corrupt Labour Party that

[02:55:20] has decided to be right wing basically fucking Tories

[02:55:26] Iran is claiming that the US has broken the ceasefire vows retaliation reports in

[02:55:32] Iran say it spoke to us with a cut on BIA central headquarters accused US force

[02:55:35] of violating the ceasefire by attacking Iran and all tankers near the Shredi Hormuz and

[02:55:39] launching air strikes on civilian areas around Bandar, Kamiir, Syriq, Qashem Island, allegedly

[02:55:44] with support from regional allies. Iran says its armed forces responded immediately by

[02:55:48] targeting U.S. military vessels in eastern Shredi Hormuz and south of Chabahar, claiming

[02:55:52] significant damage was inflicted. The statement warns that Iran will continue to respond forcefully

[02:55:56] and without hesitation to any future attacks. Kind of feels like the ceasefire is over.

[02:56:04] And the American destroyers in the Gulf, according to Bonsberry from two minutes ago, are still

[02:56:10] under attack.

[02:56:12] Mayor of news agencies says a new explosion has occurred in the city of Bandarabas.

[02:56:18] Informed sources to Tasman say three American destroyers near the Shudda Hormuz were targeted

[02:56:22] by the Iranian Navy.

[02:56:26] The attack on the hostile American destroyers was carried out using missiles and suicide

[02:56:30] drones. I went to my local polling station after work today and did not see another person

[02:56:48] of the vicinity like five to ten minutes I was there interesting experience

[02:56:51] during an election fucking hell lad fucking hell bro reform is gonna win in

[02:57:02] a landslide unfortunately normies have fallen for the slop no I know I know that

[02:57:08] there is a lot of there is the reform is actually popping I know I know it's

[02:57:16] unfortunate. How does a drone become a suicide drone? Is it a robot? Yeah.

[02:57:24] Tutoran is considered by the U.S. and Israel one of the very first stages in Iran's nuclear

[02:57:29] supply chain. It was struck in mid-March by the U.S.-Israeli campaign, and it's one of

[02:57:34] dozens of sites across Iran. We've been analyzing to see how much of its nuclear supply chain

[02:57:39] has been wiped out, and the answer is not as much as the U.S. and Israel would like.

[02:57:44] That university you just saw has been under US sanctions since 2012 from researching and

[02:57:50] developing weapons of mass destruction.

[02:57:52] It's a reminder of just how long the US has been tracking Iran's ability to make nuclear

[02:57:58] weapons.

[02:57:59] And we found that in these latest strikes by the US and Israel, while much of the production

[02:58:04] process has been substantially damaged, some of the most important parts of this process,

[02:58:10] the stalls of highly enriched uranium may not have been touched at all.

[02:58:15] Let's start at the beginning of the supply chain.

[02:58:18] Alongside the research, the process starts at places like these, Saghand Uranium Mine,

[02:58:23] where the raw material, Uranium ore, is mined.

[02:58:25] In recent years, Saghand Mine has expanded significantly, you can see widening pits,

[02:58:30] growing piles of earth, and diggers.

[02:58:33] We looked at recent imagery since the latest strikes, and found no evidence of damage.

[02:58:37] In fact from between the clouds, you can still see diggers operating at the site.

[02:58:42] So far this indicates this stage of the nuclear supply chain may remain untouched.

[02:58:47] Next the mind uranium ore is transported to production plants like this one in Ardukan.

[02:58:51] Here it's converted into yellow cake, which is a type of concentrated uranium.

[02:58:56] We found this plant was substantially damaged in recent strikes on March 27.

[02:59:00] An image taken the following month shows little change, suggesting the Iranians have not rebuilt

[02:59:05] this site yet.

[02:59:07] this yellow cake is taken here to sites like this one in Isfahan to be purified and converted

[02:59:12] into uranium hexafluoride and it's this one at this stage of the supply.

[02:59:17] This is only one element of the war efforts, right? On the one hand, it's clear that the

[02:59:23] Iranian nuclear capabilities have not been destroyed in the way that America suggested

[02:59:28] and on the other hand, there's a far more damaging truth. According to the Washington

[02:59:32] pulse report that just came out, something that we knew already, by looking at the different,

[02:59:39] not always so easily readily available commercial footage, that Iran has been unbelievably successful

[02:59:45] in basically cratering certain US bases in the Gulf and even destroying American assets,

[02:59:50] very expensive assets like satellites, or not satellites, sorry, radar and early advanced

[02:59:57] warning detection systems.

[02:59:59] So they've been able to effectively shut off the United States' network of eyes and ears

[03:00:06] in the region, and this has also diminished the Israeli early advance warning systems

[03:00:12] that play a role in this network that defends Israel, that plays a role in the Iron Dome.

[03:00:20] So both on the offensive capabilities, they have not achieved their results, and also

[03:00:24] So on the defensive side, it's been an unbelievable failure from the American side.

[03:00:32] Scoop, POTUS met privately with the milk boys today, the popular YouTube influencers

[03:00:36] reported them in 2024 according to a White House official.

[03:00:38] Oh my god, they are so fucking desperate.

[03:00:43] That is hilarious.

[03:00:44] This is what this fucking dumbass is doing.

[03:00:48] As the world is on fire.

[03:00:49] Fantastic.

[03:00:50] that has caused the biggest headache for the U.S. and Israel.

[03:00:54] Back last June French outlet Le Monde found this truck visible in imagery taken just days

[03:00:59] before the strikes.

[03:01:00] These blue containers are likely carrying uranium into the tunnels experts told CNN.

[03:01:05] Days later these facilities were substantially damaged in Israeli attacks.

[03:01:09] You can see several buildings wiped out.

[03:01:12] Then in early 2026, Iran covered over several entrances to these underground tunnels with

[03:01:17] Earth, preventing people from accessing them.

[03:01:20] Further measures were taken this April, when these roadblocks were put up in front of the entrances to the tunnels.

[03:01:25] It could suggest there still remains something valuable down there.

[03:01:28] They were not, however, hit in the latest US-Israeli strikes.

[03:01:32] Even experts we spoke to are unsure why.

[03:01:35] David Albright is a world-leading expert on nuclear weapons.

[03:01:39] How much of a risk in the future is that stores in Isfahan Mountain?

[03:01:44] I think it's a big risk. That's quite a bit of money in the bank.

[03:01:48] I mean the amount of enriched uranium they've produced was equivalent to a full years of

[03:01:54] production of their entire enrichment complex and is believed to be mostly almost all of it at

[03:02:02] Esfahan. In fact the US believes this too and their demand to remove this uranium has been a

[03:02:08] key issue in the stalling peace negotiations and finding out exactly how much is down there

[03:02:14] is central to determining whether Iran remains a nuclear threat.

[03:02:18] Katie Poglaze, CNN, London.

[03:02:21] What is important to understand is there are a lot of different components of the nuclear program.

[03:02:25] There's the supply chain, there's the nearly 1,000 pounds of uranium enriched up to 60%,

[03:02:32] which is, the Iranians still have, buried underground.

[03:02:35] Very difficult, in fact, for US aircraft to strike, even with big GBU-57s,

[03:02:41] It's just buried beneath the earth and then and then there's there are other things that weren't in that like the scientists

[03:02:47] The Iranians have scientists so there's nuclear know-how the Israelis have killed a little bit over a dozen

[03:02:55] Iranian nuclear scientists, but there's still many out there. So there's there's knowledge that still persists as well

[03:03:01] Yeah, I mean it just

[03:03:03] You know impossible to just kind of eviscerate or obliterate the whole thing obviously as has had been put out there

[03:03:10] Now, Iran said today, Seth, something I wanted to ask you about, that, you know, yesterday,

[03:03:15] we know that the UAE was hit by a large number of missiles and drones, okay?

[03:03:20] In fact, almost the most since the quote-unquote ceasefire even began.

[03:03:25] And Iran then said that their armed forces did not carry out any attacks on the UAE,

[03:03:30] but the UAE says they did, right?

[03:03:32] And there was obviously evidence of that as well.

[03:03:34] There was a major oil port in flames, and the UAE says it was 19 missiles and drones

[03:03:39] yesterday. So, what is going on here? And I know you're learning something new about

[03:03:46] that really could change in a sense one of the core trajectories of this war.

[03:03:51] Yeah, Aaron, it looks like Iran is trying to publicly make it seem like this is a war

[03:03:57] between Iran and the United States. The reality as we look at what Iran has conducted attacks

[03:04:04] against or who it's conducted attacks against, even the last day or two it's conducted strikes

[03:04:09] against the Emiratis and against Oman, targets in Oman,

[03:04:14] and their ships as well, including a South Korean tanker.

[03:04:17] So the number of countries that have been hit has grown.

[03:04:21] My sources are telling me that there

[03:04:24] is growing unhappiness within Gulf states who

[03:04:27] are increasingly looking at options

[03:04:29] to become more militarily involved, not just

[03:04:31] in defensive operations, but in offensive operations,

[03:04:35] including with potential for airstrikes.

[03:04:37] I mean, I understand that already one Gulf state has likely already conducted strikes

[03:04:44] in unpopulated islands in the Gulf as a signal that it could escalate.

[03:04:49] So I think we are on the verge of potentially seeing some escalation by Gulf states.

[03:04:54] Joining me now is physicist David Albright, the president and founder of the Institute

[03:04:58] for Science and International Security.

[03:05:00] He is also a former nuclear inspector.

[03:05:02] Thank you so much for being here.

[03:05:04] when you bro so much of this conversation unironically revolves around is Iran legally

[03:05:12] allowed to strike back okay it's just like is that allowed is Iran legally allowed to

[03:05:21] strike back find out more at seven you know why is Iran allowed to hit American military

[03:05:28] bases and countries that are allowing American military to operate as they use the airspace

[03:05:35] of these countries to hit Iranian soil.

[03:05:39] Look at the images, satellite images, about Iran's nuclear capabilities and what you know

[03:05:46] about its capabilities from before all of this.

[03:05:50] What do you glean from all this?

[03:05:53] Well, one is, before the war started in June, Iran was able to build a nuclear weapon if

[03:06:02] it decided to do so within months and have high certainty it would work.

[03:06:08] Now they aren't able to do that.

[03:06:11] I mean, there's intelligence assessments that have become public recently that say they'll

[03:06:16] need it a year.

[03:06:17] I would probably say perhaps longer.

[03:06:19] But more importantly, the weapon may not work.

[03:06:24] That much of the nuclear weaponization infrastructure of Iran's program has been destroyed.

[03:06:31] So it's not just the enriched uranium that matters.

[03:06:35] That's critical, and that's really the centerpiece of all the negotiations right now.

[03:06:41] But the ability to make the bomb itself is important.

[03:06:44] So I think Ron has been seriously set back.

[03:06:46] And instead of us facing a program,

[03:06:50] or at any moment, Ron could decide to build a bomb quickly

[03:06:54] within months, now with a program

[03:06:58] that if it decided to build a bomb

[03:07:00] would take more like a year,

[03:07:02] and there'd be roadblocks along the way

[03:07:05] that they would be facing their own uncertainty

[03:07:09] of whether they could succeed.

[03:07:11] And so the probability that it wouldn't work

[03:07:13] would be potentially substantial.

[03:07:17] So I think the war created quite a bit of damage

[03:07:20] to the program.

[03:07:22] Yeah, there are a lot of damaged facilities

[03:07:24] from the university where the research for a nuclear bomb

[03:07:27] was done to many of the other places that

[03:07:28] helped facilitate the creation of nuclear weapons.

[03:07:32] I do want to add.

[03:07:36] Cope and justification for war crimes.

[03:07:41] That's what this is.

[03:07:42] first scope where it's like all the the iranian nuclear capabilities of

[03:07:46] diminished or whatever

[03:07:47] it's called because

[03:07:48] it's not even a significant factor

[03:07:50] uh... in the iranian calculation

[03:07:53] the the nuclear program or uh... the the enrichment of the iranian

[03:07:58] was

[03:07:59] entirely entirely done as a negotiation is as leverage in the

[03:08:03] negotiates process

[03:08:04] and uh... justification for the war crimes comes from the attack uh... on

[03:08:09] uh... the the uh...

[03:08:10] wait hold on

[03:08:14] doors open

[03:08:19] doors open

[03:08:25] sorry

[03:08:29] uh... the the just

[03:08:30] uh... the justification of attacking universities is uh... justification for

[03:08:34] war crimes

[03:08:35] the civilian facility

[03:08:37] ridiculous

[03:08:38] It's no different than like blowing up MIT or some shit. Okay.

[03:08:42] But of course, because it's Iranian, uh, we, we get to,

[03:08:46] we get to entertain, uh, how valid this is. Fuck them bullshit.

[03:08:51] Huh.

[03:08:53] Ask you about sort of what's happening right now.

[03:08:55] The secretary of state says that the combat part of the war is,

[03:08:58] is over it over. Uh, the president says just this morning that negotiations are

[03:09:03] underway or they're promising.

[03:09:04] If the goal is to keep Iran from nuclear weapons capabilities what what must be part of the agreement?

[03:09:12] When it comes to how it's handled when it comes to how Iran is moving forward or not with their

[03:09:20] When do the United States bombing university they bomb multiple universities in in Iran

[03:09:25] alongside Israel nuclear program

[03:09:30] Well, there's a couple things one is is the enriched uranium stocks that Katie pointed out

[03:09:34] are very important, and those have to be part of a deal to furbly, from a US point of view,

[03:09:40] remove the enriched uranium from Iran, and you want to create further roadblocks on Iran's

[03:09:48] ability to build the bomb, and that's a very good way to do it.

[03:09:51] Another part of it, though, is that Iran has to, they've got to commit not to build nuclear

[03:09:57] weapons, and from my point of view, they've got to admit that they do it.

[03:10:01] They always deny it, but we know they've been working on nuclear weapons for decades.

[03:10:06] And so you have to have a commitment not to do it, and then you have to have some good

[03:10:11] inspections that verify that the program has ended.

[03:10:16] And so I think that that's, and I see from some of the reporting that the Trump administration

[03:10:20] is considering that, but that's always one of the hardest things for Ron to accept, because

[03:10:26] I think no matter what, they want to be able to reconstitute to build nuclear weapons,

[03:10:31] to have that option if not actually implement it.

[03:10:35] And these negotiations have to just end that ambition on the part of Iran.

[03:10:39] The war has made that goal much harder for Iran to accomplish, but it didn't end it.

[03:10:46] We're looking at some imagery here of some of the bombings of Esfahan.

[03:10:52] And also, though, where the uranium is mined, and it looks like...

[03:10:57] Iran is providing more detail than the... more info than the Pentagon.

[03:11:04] Iran's joint military command says the U.S. carried out airstrikes and civilian airstrikes

[03:11:06] with cooperation in some regional counties, countries.

[03:11:09] Amazing that Iran's military is putting out more information on potential U.S. military

[03:11:12] strikes than the Pentagon itself.

[03:11:14] No, they have.

[03:11:17] They have.

[03:11:22] It's more and more that has been mined since those initial strikes.

[03:11:26] They've openly recognized it now.

[03:11:27] Do we have any sense of how much enriched uranium there is and how difficult it would

[03:11:32] be for, because Iran, that's the one thing they do not want to do is give that up.

[03:11:40] In this round Israel took out the facility that could take that, and it's uranium ore.

[03:11:45] It's not uranium per se.

[03:11:48] It's maybe 1% or less of of of the ore and you'd have to process that at a facility and

[03:11:55] in Israel destroyed that facility in this in this round and Katie pointed that out in her story

[03:12:04] Is it again Iran's restraining perceives of weakness every time that's that's a constant just remember

[03:12:10] Iran says yes to ceasefire negotiations America perceives that as weakness

[03:12:14] Iran doesn't go up the escalation ladder to create sufficient military deterrence.

[03:12:19] That's that's seen as that's perceived as weakness.

[03:12:26] The International Atomic Energy Agency knew very precisely how much in rich

[03:12:33] terrarium Iran had right before the war started in June 2025. The uncertainty now

[03:12:39] is how much of it is inaccessible. Some amount was in the Fort Elmountain which

[03:12:44] which was heavily destroyed by the U.S. bombing,

[03:12:47] any highly rich uranium there,

[03:12:49] and rich uranium is probably hard to assess.

[03:12:52] The IAS reported that over half is in these

[03:12:54] Esfahan Mountain tonal complexes,

[03:12:56] but we don't really know how much the bombing in June

[03:13:00] just destroyed some of that.

[03:13:03] So I think the uncertainties are on how much is left

[03:13:07] that is accessible to Iran.

[03:13:09] And it's probably significant.

[03:13:11] So it is right that that's the centerpiece of the negotiation.

[03:13:15] Now, yeah, while we're having this conversation, the U.S.

[03:13:17] is really sure they're still ongoing, by the way, the iron law of U.S.

[03:13:22] Israeli foreign policy is that the Iranian government is at all times a,

[03:13:25] not going to survive the year and B, 60 seconds away from being a nuclear power.

[03:13:31] Statement from the spokesperson of Iran's armed forces central headquarters

[03:13:34] of Hazrat Khatam al-Anbiya says the U.S. violated the ceasefire.

[03:13:37] Uh, I already covered that.

[03:13:39] The U.S. will start revoking Passports this week for parents who have $100,000 or more

[03:13:44] in child support and will soon expand the policy.

[03:13:47] Once again, Donald Trump is attacking his own base for some weird reason.

[03:13:51] Don't really understand why, but good luck, I guess.

[03:13:59] Who could this be for other than the biggest family court victims of all time?

[03:14:06] dads. Like, I don't have an issue with this policy. I don't understand why it exists.

[03:14:16] But I will say, I will say that it's an interesting policy because I feel like it will, it will

[03:14:22] end up hurting the base more than anybody else if we're keeping it a book 50. Very strange.

[03:14:32] The question why didn't the United States and Israel further destroy these mountain complexes?

[03:14:39] There's two that could hold in rich terrain and the only answer I could default to right

[03:14:45] now is they wanted to make sure that it ends.

[03:14:51] This is the operation center of UK maritime trade operations, UKMT-O. It tracks commercial

[03:14:57] shipping and contested waters around the world, off the coast of East Africa.

[03:15:01] Do they forget what Joe can't say? Why are they still insisting on Iran getting a nuclear bomb bullshit?

[03:15:05] Brother, I don't know how to explain this to you.

[03:15:08] And perhaps one day you will understand.

[03:15:10] But they're fucking lying, okay?

[03:15:13] They have to create reasonable, probable cause for why we're engaging in this kind of military action

[03:15:19] and why gas is now 450 in Michael Aula's district.

[03:15:23] Here in the Red Sea and critically right now in the straight of hormones you can see here the hazardous area

[03:15:29] Boxed off these red lines are effectively Iranian border control

[03:15:33] They told all vessels inside this zone they need to get out or face attack

[03:15:38] And if from when those attacks are to come this is where those ships will call they coming on a phone number

[03:15:43] That's on the bridge of every commercial vessel. This is like 999 for cargo ships and tankers in trouble

[03:15:50] Can you confirm the name of the vessel again to me, please, sir?

[03:15:53] Then how can I help you?

[03:15:55] Information received here is shared with ship owners, with coalition partners,

[03:15:59] with regional search and rescue where necessary to coordinate help if required.

[03:16:03] And crucially, it is shared publicly so that other vessels can react accordingly to any danger.

[03:16:09] Now, since the war began, they've seen transits through the straight-to-formers

[03:16:13] come down from 130 a day, 65 or so in each direction to just 10.

[03:16:17] to just 10 and in the last 48 hours since Donald Trump abandoned US plans to escort vessels

[03:16:24] and diplomatic progress appears to be being made, well zero vessels have made that transit.

[03:16:30] We're taking calls from merchant vessels from contested waters, particularly where they feel

[03:16:34] they might be under a threat of attack or they've seen something suspicious. We cover all the threats

[03:16:39] that are available in that area, so from piracy to state action to terrorist action. We're sharing

[03:16:44] Verified and can be alarms going in the background sirens and sometimes we've even heard shots as well

[03:16:49] So our watchkeepers are trained to keep clear and calm at all times until there is more certainty on how safe it is

[03:16:55] And where to save for their seafarers to go. They are not able to make those movements

[03:16:59] So they're really looking for leadership and stability before they can start to recover and we'll we'll need to

[03:17:04] Start with some kind of evacuation humanitarian evacuation because we've got around 20 000 seafarers

[03:17:09] who are stuck inside the straits at the moment.

[03:17:11] With more than 800 vessels stranded on the western side of the strait of Hormuz, even

[03:17:15] if and when the waters are safe, it will take weeks for them to clear and months before

[03:17:21] global supply lines return to normal.

[03:17:24] And here, watch all that happen.

[03:17:27] We are seeing those historic swings in the price of oil with every headline about the

[03:17:31] Iran War.

[03:17:32] And now we have learned that the Justice Department is investigating a series of suspiciously

[03:17:37] time trades just ahead of major announcements about the war by President Trump.

[03:17:42] Sources tell ABC News that the DOJ, along with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission,

[03:17:47] are probing at least four trades in the oil market, where traders made a total of more

[03:17:51] than $2.6 billion, betting that oil prices would drop right before they actually...

[03:17:57] Oh, I'm sorry.

[03:17:58] I didn't realize that being a fucking excellent trader was illegal, okay?

[03:18:04] Okay, in this circumstance, it might literally be illegal, but whatever, dude.

[03:18:09] I didn't realize we were punishing greatness.

[03:18:12] Also, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is not going to investigate shit because the

[03:18:19] people that are making these incredibly strategic decisions to make the perfect bet at the perfect

[03:18:27] time, they're making these fucking decisions because they're in these rooms.

[03:18:30] But starting on March 23, data from the London Stock Exchange showed just 15 minutes before

[03:18:35] Trump posted that he would delay attacking Iran's power grid.

[03:18:39] Traders bet $500 million that oil prices would fall.

[03:18:42] On April 7, a few hours before Trump announced a ceasefire, nearly $1 billion in bets on oil

[03:18:48] dropping.

[03:18:49] Similar pattern on April 17, $760 million in trades, just 20 minutes before Iran announced

[03:18:55] this trade of Hormuz was open.

[03:18:57] on April 21st, 15 minutes before Trump extended the ceasefire, traders spent $430 million

[03:19:03] oil would go down.

[03:19:04] We do not know the identities of these traders, but these are very big payouts raising concerns

[03:19:10] about insider trading.

[03:19:11] The CFTC and DOJ are not officially commenting, guys.

[03:19:15] It shouldn't be too hard to figure out who made the trade, and then it definitely is

[03:19:18] suspicious.

[03:19:19] All right, thank you so much for that a little bit.

[03:19:21] Millions of people across Britain are going to polling stations to cast ballots instead

[03:19:25] of elections for more than 100 local councils across England and for semi-autonomous parliaments

[03:19:31] in Wales and Scotland.

[03:19:33] This is the biggest set of elections since Prime Minister Keir Starmer swept to power

[03:19:36] in the landslide in July 2024.

[03:19:39] And opposition parties are painting these votes as an unofficial referendum on Starmer

[03:19:44] and his Labour Party-centre-left government.

[03:19:47] Labour is defending about 2,500 local council seats in England and his incumbent government

[03:19:52] in Wales, but is bracing for heavy losses across the country in this election.

[03:19:57] That would be very bad news for Keir Starmer, whose personal approval ratings as well as

[03:20:00] his government's approval ratings have been in the doldrums for months.

[03:20:04] That's due to a range of factors, including a sluggish economy and a series of policy

[03:20:09] new turns and miscalculations that have raised questions about his political judgment.

[03:20:14] Among these is his decision, which backfired, to appoint Peter Mandelson, a friend of Jeffrey

[03:20:19] Epstein as Britain's ambassador to Washington at the start of Donald Trump's second term.

[03:20:24] A very bad result for Labour in these elections could trigger a move by his own Labour Party

[03:20:29] to oust him and replace him with another leader.

[03:20:32] If Labour is likely to be the big loser in these elections, the big winners are expected

[03:20:36] to be what have been called the insurgent parties.

[03:20:39] There's Reform UK, the hard-right party led by Nigel Farage, and the Green Party, which

[03:20:43] has expanded from its environmentalist base to become what's been called an ecopopulist

[03:20:47] Party under its young leader, Zak Polanski. Political experts say these elections may

[03:20:52] mark a major milestone in Britain's shift from a two-party system dominated by Labour

[03:20:57] and the Conservatives to a much more multi-party and even chaotic form of politics.

[03:21:06] So I'm delighted now to be joined by the leader of the Green Party who's in Cardiff as we

[03:21:12] speak, Zach, very, very good to see you.

[03:21:17] I would imagine that you are, oh, it's a pleasure to see you.

[03:21:21] Thanks for joining us.

[03:21:22] I would imagine that you are somebody

[03:21:25] who believes that it's really important to restore trust

[03:21:29] in politics and politicians.

[03:21:34] I think it's incredibly important.

[03:21:36] And actually, I heard comparisons then to me and Nigel

[03:21:38] Farage, and I just think those comparisons

[03:21:40] completely unfair. Nigel Farage took a £5 million donation before he was an MP. I realise

[03:21:48] I've made mistakes as human being, but I think the comparison is probably a little bit unfair.

[03:21:53] More generally, I do think it's important that all of us in public life make sure that

[03:21:56] we act with integrity, that we're honest and that we're held accountable.

[03:22:00] I mean, obviously there are big issues of integrity which all voters would want to see

[03:22:06] all I need is a hearing to but also just sort of you know essentially people

[03:22:11] being straight with us I mean I genuinely don't understand how you could

[03:22:16] confuse being somebody who helped the Red Cross to raise a bit of money with

[03:22:22] being a spokesperson I mean

[03:22:27] Bro, this is in, dude, I hate British media so much.

[03:22:45] Okay.

[03:22:46] What they're hitting him with is the dumbest story of all time.

[03:22:52] Okay.

[03:22:53] They're claiming that Zach Polanski was misleading the public about being involved with the British

[03:23:02] Red Cross because he said he was a spokesperson and he was never an official spokesperson

[03:23:09] for the British Red Cross, but instead actually did a bunch of charity fundraisers where he

[03:23:15] spoke at the Red Cross.

[03:23:19] I cannot fucking believe that the comparison between Zach Polanski in this circumstance

[03:23:25] and Nigel Farage is Nigel Farage getting bribed to the tune of five million pounds versus

[03:23:33] Zach Polanski saying, oh yeah, I did a bunch of events with the Red Cross and claim that

[03:23:39] he was a spokesperson, even though he wasn't a spokesperson in an official capacity.

[03:23:49] The standards are so out of whack, man.

[03:24:00] I think this is our big deal in itself, but it all adds to this erosion of trust.

[03:24:10] How did you get that wrong?

[03:24:15] I think that's been over exaggerated.

[03:24:17] So I hosted events for the British Red Cross.

[03:24:20] I would go on stage with them with a set of points

[03:24:23] they would want me to make around protecting refugees,

[03:24:26] around the amazing work they do with dealing conflict zones,

[03:24:28] and also, in fact, the climate crisis in this country.

[03:24:31] This is in 2016.

[03:24:32] I accept that the British Red Cross cannot have

[03:24:35] a spokesperson who is in a political party,

[03:24:37] so they need to have that distinction.

[03:24:39] I understand why they've said that.

[03:24:40] But I think there's a little bit of pedantry

[03:24:43] between I spoke on behalf of the Red Cross as a public representative at events and I

[03:24:48] was a spokesperson. So, you know, I got the wrong word, but I think to most people they

[03:24:52] can understand that. I think most people are reasonable.

[03:24:56] But you do seem to have a slight habit of getting the wrong words. I mean, on the BBC

[03:25:01] this morning you talked about the alleged terrorist being handcuffed, but he wasn't

[03:25:06] handcuffed by the police, was he?

[03:25:10] he was tazered and immobile.

[03:25:16] Is this a joke?

[03:25:19] British Shatters.

[03:25:23] I'm being pranked, right?

[03:25:24] Like they're showing this is a, this is a joke where they're basically like,

[03:25:30] haha, look at how, look at how silly we can get.

[03:25:35] With unbelievably improper framing.

[03:25:40] like ha ha this is what it would look like if this is what it would look like

[03:25:45] if we were you know genuinely terrified of an ascended insurgent left flank

[03:25:51] candidacy and are actively trying to undermine it like ha ha this is how we

[03:25:56] would this is the level that we would go to

[03:26:10] Yeah, it must be that dry British humor I hear so much about, and I'm just incapable of understanding.

[03:26:18] This can't be sincere commentary, right? I don't, I choose not to believe that.

[03:26:24] Well, and with his face down. And again, I think when you're being honest, when things are moving quickly, again, you will make mistakes.

[03:26:31] But I think it's important to be clear about the mistakes you've made. And again, I repeat, I'm a human being.

[03:26:36] being unfallable has been a long election campaign.

[03:26:39] And I think most people can hear what I'm trying to do,

[03:26:42] and that I'm out there.

[03:26:44] Green Party councillors have two vested interests.

[03:26:46] We want to protect the people that were elected to serve

[03:26:49] in their communities, and we want to protect the planet.

[03:26:51] And that's what I'm doing every single day.

[03:26:54] As I say, it's not so much any individual thing,

[03:26:56] but it's the sort of cumulative thing.

[03:26:58] So I mean, another thing which I think most people would say

[03:27:01] is a bigger issue is, you know, a significant number

[03:27:06] of your candidates have said things

[03:27:09] that are completely explicitly anti-Semitic.

[03:27:12] And I think, you know, many voters don't understand

[03:27:16] why they have not just been expelled.

[03:27:24] Did you guys ask questions like this to reform?

[03:27:28] A party comprised almost entirely of neo-Nazis?

[03:27:31] Or is this just a level of smoke that only the left receives?

[03:27:38] Isn't it wonderful how anytime there's a left party, by the way, magically, magically, they

[03:27:46] are found guilty of maximum antisemitism.

[03:27:52] You know, it's always the same with Jeremy Corbyn, now with Zach Polanski.

[03:27:58] time they're doing it to a Jewish guy, which is even crazier. How fortuitous.

[03:28:07] The enemies of capital always, the enemies of capital are always found guilty in the eyes of

[03:28:16] not necessarily the public court of opinion, but certainly mainstream media of engaging in

[03:28:22] heinous levels of bigotry, specifically anti-Semitism. It's always, I don't know what it is. It's

[03:28:30] so crazy though, how fortuitous for reform that they are, they have an infallible track

[03:28:36] record and they're just simply never caught doing bigoted stuff. Huh. Interesting. I do

[03:28:59] think this is a different conversation because the things we were just talking about, I don't

[03:29:03] think are particularly very serious issues. The case of anti-Semitism though is incredibly

[03:29:08] serious and I know you'll associate with this too Robert, but just safety is not some abstract

[03:29:13] idea for me. In fact personally in the last six weeks two people have been arrested in

[03:29:18] relation to anti-Semitic events towards me. One was anti-Semitic.

[03:29:22] Yeah, Robert's about to be like, yeah but don't you think you deserved it?

[03:29:33] Sure, you've been a victim of anti-Jewish, anti-Semitic hate crimes, but don't you feel like you deserved it a little bit?

[03:29:39] Zack!

[03:29:40] I'm a second, and by the way, homophobic as well.

[03:29:43] And so it's really, really important that everyone gets a grip on anti-Semitism that exists in political parties because it exists in society.

[03:29:50] Something I've already committed to during this election is to make sure we're having better-

[03:29:54] But if you're committed to zero tolerance on this issue, why not just boot these-

[03:29:59] I mean, there's no ambiguity. These people said this stuff,

[03:30:02] But you know what like what what did they say?

[03:30:12] You go poll reform and labor are seen as more anti-Semitic than greens. Oh, thank God

[03:30:19] Thank God dude, holy shit at least the people are not eating this stuff up and I think it's because Zach is Jewish

[03:30:25] You know on social media at that point they should just be out the party shouldn't they?

[03:30:29] Well, we're a decentralised party where the leadership doesn't have any say over the

[03:30:35] disciplinary process.

[03:30:36] What I have committed to, though, is making sure we have better standardised vetting process.

[03:30:41] Because we're a decentralised party, I still think it's important that the leadership comes

[03:30:44] from the top to say this is what we should be looking for and not looking for from our

[03:30:47] candidates.

[03:30:48] And also that there's compulsory training for all councillors and indeed future candidates

[03:30:52] as well.

[03:30:53] It's not acceptable that people have made anti-Semitic comments.

[03:30:56] I also think, by the way, it's not acceptable that some of the political parties have used

[03:31:00] anti-Semitism as a political football.

[03:31:02] It's a sensitive issue that needs to be treated with care.

[03:31:05] I do want to thank the Labour MPs that have shown me solidarity.

[03:31:07] There has been several anti-Semitic caricatures of me in the last 48 hours in the press,

[03:31:13] including a terrible one from the Times, which I've still not apologised for.

[03:31:16] And I do thank the Labour MPs, I think, who are showing leadership in saying, even though

[03:31:19] we're from different political parties, we need to show cross-party working on this and

[03:31:23] make sure we stamp out anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, all forms of hate crime from our society.

[03:31:28] I think the kind of using it to score political points has been pretty grim in this election.

[03:31:34] And as a Jewish person and someone who's very committed to an anti-racist party, it's been

[03:31:38] deeply upsetting.

[03:31:39] No, of course it isn't, but there's a different aspect of all of this.

[03:31:46] of course it is but

[03:31:48] don't you feel like you deserve it

[03:32:01] of course it is but you know

[03:32:05] don't you feel like you kinda deserve it a little bit i mean come on zack

[03:32:10] sure they portrayed you in a way that uh... harkens back to the nazi era

[03:32:15] depictions of Jews, but don't you feel like you brought it on a little bit?

[03:32:21] You know, like me, you say you're very proud of being a Jew. Doesn't it worry you when you see

[03:32:31] attacks on you from many members of the Jewish community, not just those on the right, you've

[03:32:37] got to be absolutely clear about this, who believe that you're slowness in dealing with anti-Semitism

[03:32:43] in your party, I mean they say it makes them feel less secure.

[03:32:50] It's really upsetting when anyone's attacking me for anti-Semitism because as I say I'm

[03:32:54] really clear anti-Semitism is unacceptable and as I've said we need to make sure that

[03:32:59] we have a standardised vetting process in the future.

[03:33:02] More widely I would say if we're going to get to the issue of left and right is that

[03:33:06] I do think there's another angle here which is I've been a very proud voice also speaking

[03:33:10] up to the Palestinian people, now we know you can perfectly well speak up to the Palestinian

[03:33:14] people as I have and not be anti-Semitic. I also accept that often those lines can

[03:33:19] get blurred, but I think people like Benjamin Netanyahu who have made a point of conflating

[03:33:23] anti-Semitism and criticism of the Israeli government have actually made many of us,

[03:33:27] I feel this, less safe in this country because we've lost the demarcation of its different

[03:33:32] being a British Jew and someone who doesn't support the Israeli government.

[03:33:36] There's somebody who, you know, you say you've got absolute clarity on what it is to be anti-semitic.

[03:33:45] You say you've got a devolved structure in the Green Party, but aren't there just some?

[03:33:49] I'll be honest.

[03:33:52] I will admit this over and over again.

[03:33:58] I cannot believe how much worse it is in British media.

[03:34:03] like British media is actually maybe it's because of the consolidation of power

[03:34:08] it's all Oxbridge people right it's all people representing their class

[03:34:13] interests and stuff but the way that they talk about this stuff the way that

[03:34:19] they so shamelessly hammer on the point of Jewish safety as though it's at in at

[03:34:27] odds with, you know, Palestinian safety. It's, it's unbelievable. I cannot comprehend it. It's

[03:34:36] so much worse. This is like, you guys think about like Jake Tapper, right? Jake Tapper is an op of

[03:34:43] mine and is incredibly, I mean, Jake Tapper is vile, right? With his Islamophobia and very smarmy,

[03:34:50] very elitist with the way that he communicates on certain issues, right? However, however,

[03:35:00] it's British media is like every day is Jake Tapper all the time.

[03:35:05] Times a thousand. Like British media makes Jake Tapper look like a humanitarian rights worker in

[03:35:12] comparison. It's actually crazy. Like I don't think Jake Tapper, if Jake Tapper did this

[03:35:31] in American news against like Bernie Sanders, people would probably call him out. People

[03:35:36] would be like, what the fuck are you talking about, dude?

[03:35:38] Calm down, you know?

[03:35:42] Whereas this is all I've seen

[03:35:44] from the attacks that Zek Pulaski has endured.

[03:35:47] It's like, it's literally every time,

[03:35:50] every time he goes on a TV show, they're like,

[03:35:52] don't you feel like you're the number one Jew hater in London?

[03:35:56] Don't you feel like the Green Party is running around

[03:36:00] saying, you know, running around,

[03:36:02] sig hiling every day, all the time?

[03:36:05] Don't you feel like if you win that you're going to trigger a Holocaust too, this time

[03:36:12] in London directly?

[03:36:14] The fuck?

[03:36:21] It's bizarre.

[03:36:23] There are issues which actually you should have the power to simply take decisions on

[03:36:31] in a centralized way.

[03:36:36] Well I look for expertise on issues of disciplinary processes and the Equality and Human Rights

[03:36:40] Commission along with Martin Ford when they looked into anti-Semitism in the Labour Party,

[03:36:44] one of their key recommendations was that the disciplinary process had to be completely

[03:36:48] separate from the leadership.

[03:36:50] you have leaders wading in deciding who's guilty, who's not guilty based on who they

[03:36:55] might want to select or deselect and I'm not saying I do that for a second in fact I'm

[03:36:59] doing the very opposite but actually I think it's wise in all political parties that the

[03:37:02] disciplining process is robust, that it's secure and it's my job to make sure that that

[03:37:06] process is secure but it's not my job to wade into disciplinary complaints because that

[03:37:12] road is chaos.

[03:37:13] chaos. In just a second, I'm going to move on to a different subject, but just on this

[03:37:19] issue of what it is to be a Jew in today's Britain, you describe yourself as a non-Zionist

[03:37:26] Jew. What do you mean when you say a non-Zionist in these circumstances? Well, just first

[03:37:34] of all, to pick up on you saying it was grim that was pulling out today, which I know you

[03:37:38] saw as well, that said 40% of British people in this country don't think the country would

[03:37:42] necessarily be better or worse if Jews left the country that's deeply depressing and I

[03:37:46] think that should be sobering for anyone in public life to look at what do we do to make

[03:37:51] sure Jesus crook okay what the fuck wait God damn okay wait wait hold on

[03:38:02] half of these motherfuckers are like oh it's the labor party under Corbin that's

[03:38:07] anti-Semitic. Oh, it's the Green Party. Meanwhile, it turns out it's everybody.

[03:38:14] That number does not exist in America. Like, there's no world. I've talked about this before,

[03:38:19] like, Americans, Americans love Jews by and large. Like, sure, they have some anti-Semitic

[03:38:26] tendencies, anti-Semitic opinions and stuff like that. But Americans love Jews.

[03:38:31] It's the one religion that has the highest approval rating amongst all religions in the

[03:38:38] United States of America, consistently year over year.

[03:38:42] The attitude I jokingly refer to amongst Americans is, yeah, Jews control Hollywood,

[03:38:47] but they made Seinfeld, right?

[03:38:50] That's kind of like the attitude overall.

[03:38:52] The average guy is like, yeah, Jews are, they control the banking stuff, but they're pretty

[03:38:57] good at money and yeah Jews control Hollywood but they make great TV shows

[03:39:01] like that's genuinely the sentiment from like the normie American okay but if

[03:39:13] you got but if you got like a like a country that's saying you know 40% of

[03:39:18] the population is like yeah if Jews would leave or if they stay behind who

[03:39:23] gives a shit I don't really give a fuck you got a real problem and I don't think

[03:39:28] it's the Greens I don't think it's the party being led by a Jewish guy you

[03:39:34] got to start knocking on different doors brother your unlimited appetite for

[03:39:40] Israel's death and destruction campaign has caused you to not realize that there

[03:39:44] is actually a fucking anti-Semitism problem okay there is it's just not

[03:39:51] You're, you're, you're pinning it on a guy who is Jewish himself.

[03:39:57] You're pinning it on probably the least anti-Semitic party out of all of the major parties.

[03:40:03] Yeah, British press, there's a dangerous epidemic of racism in the country.

[03:40:10] Jewish political leader, we should tax the wealthiest, stop doing war crimes.

[03:40:12] British press, he's a hook, no, Judeo Bolshevik parasite who's conspiring to subvert our society.

[03:40:18] It's it's insane brother

[03:40:29] Or the judge people are welcome and yeah, no

[03:40:32] He's been on the receiving end of heinous heinous cartoons like let's be real. Okay cartoons or cartoons

[03:40:39] Some have the tendency to like if you're making people look grotesque no matter what I mean

[03:40:45] This is a this is an ancient tradition

[03:40:48] just like anti-Semitism, ironically enough, sometimes when you make someone look grotesque,

[03:40:55] when you're making a political cartoon, it's going to look anti-Semitic. And this is one of

[03:40:59] those instances, right? But my point is, if this wasn't Zach Pulaski, if this was someone who was

[03:41:08] pro-Israel, for example, if this was a Jewish person who was pro-Israel, for example, or even

[03:41:12] a non-Jew that was made to look this way, but is a prolific pro-Israel non-Jew.

[03:41:19] The media would go crazy over it. They would be talking about it endlessly. They'd be like,

[03:41:24] look, look at what they're doing. It's their stormer.

[03:41:32] Radio Rwanda was just making jokes too. What? American Jews have a safest secure homeland.

[03:41:39] is called America the only thing making them less safe here is israeli

[03:41:45] buddy i'm not i'm not defending the cartoons i'm saying even under like the most even under the

[03:41:51] most like uh uh fair and balanced approach here it's still very clearly uh it's still very clearly

[03:41:59] harkens back to a bygone era that i thought was gone but i guess it's back in a big way but i'm

[03:42:05] I'm also talking about like the unbelievable double standard here.

[03:42:11] The same British media would lose their fucking minds if it was a pro-Israel person being depicted that way.

[03:42:15] Jewish or not Jewish, they'd be like, this is a heinous 80s, somebody hate crime.

[03:42:22] Okay.

[03:42:33] What the fuck is he's a papa?

[03:42:35] Haysa Papa, thank you for the raid.

[03:42:57] Thank you for the raid.

[03:43:09] You already know, Merz Licks Balls, okay?

[03:43:19] You tell me that Merz Licks Balls, you're good in my book.

[03:43:25] Me is like I am.

[03:43:26] Me is like I am.

[03:43:30] No.

[03:43:32] Schlupendos, mez, schlupendos.

[03:43:35] That's vitamin.

[03:43:47] Monka German?

[03:43:54] Whoa, there.

[03:43:55] What the fuck is wrong with you? I said, suck this, suck this. This is a vitamin.

[03:44:04] Schluchen, it's Schluchen, sorry. Schluchen das! Das ist Vitamin!

[03:44:13] As of being an anti-Zionist or a non-Zionist, it's ultimately recognizing that I want to see

[03:44:19] a quality for the Palestinian people, that there's been a genocide for the last couple of years,

[03:44:24] that our government have been arming and sharing intelligence.

[03:44:27] I want to see an end to that genocide,

[03:44:28] and I want to see a quality of voices at the table

[03:44:31] in making sure that we're building peace.

[03:44:33] I mean, some, again, the Jewish community would say you shouldn't pre...

[03:44:37] You know, there is an international criminal court case going on,

[03:44:41] and they would say you shouldn't be judging

[03:44:43] whether it's a genocide or not as a political leader

[03:44:45] until the cases are heard.

[03:44:50] But just to be clear, because this is something of enormous importance

[03:44:53] to the Jewish community as somebody.

[03:44:56] Oh, oh, I didn't know it was like that.

[03:45:01] Oh, my bad.

[03:45:05] No, you can't, you can't call out shit, you know.

[03:45:10] Excuse me, excuse me.

[03:45:13] It doesn't matter that Israel committed a genocide and everyone knows it and everyone

[03:45:17] has called it out at this point, every humanitarian rights organization.

[03:45:20] You, don't you feel like you should stay quiet?

[03:45:23] Yeah, let's wait another fucking decade, dude.

[03:45:29] Let's let him get another genocide off, you know what I mean?

[03:45:31] Let's let him do one in Lebanon too, and then maybe, maybe then the Gaza one we can actually

[03:45:37] finally say is a genocide, at which point, don't say anything about the Lebanese genocide

[03:45:42] if that happens, you know?

[03:45:45] Also the thing that's really fucking annoying about this conversation is like then these guys will also tie this back up to like Jews

[03:45:53] Where they're like, well, don't you feel like it's hurtful to Jews buddy? What the fuck does this have to do with the Jews?

[03:45:59] What do you mean? Don't you think it's hurtful to Jews to acknowledge?

[03:46:03] the international consensus on every humanitarian rights organizations

[03:46:09] Assessment on Israel's genocide like what the fuck does that have to do with Jews man?

[03:46:12] What an insane thing to just be like, well, don't you feel like Jews feelings get hurt if you say Israel's committing a genocide? Okay. Well, that's an unbelievably anti-Semitic assumption to make.

[03:46:25] But also, why does that matter?

[03:46:42] Like actually, why does that fucking matter?

[03:46:52] Why would that matter?

[03:46:53] the idea that like oh we can't do sorry we can't do desegregation in our school system because

[03:47:03] you know what if white people's feelings get hurt like oh you can't say that the Jim Crow laws

[03:47:11] are races because white people's feelings are getting hurt okay I don't give a fuck man that's

[03:47:15] a that's a thing they got to deal with on their own if that's the case right you know build a

[03:47:22] fucking bridge and get over it. Get the hell out of here.

[03:47:36] This rhetoric does so much more to boost anti-Semitism and you can imagine what's on

[03:47:39] Piker doing in your wildest dreams. Israel and Jewish people are one in the same. If

[03:47:44] you're against the Jewish state of Israel, you're against the Jewish people. That foreign

[03:47:47] government you refer to as Israel is our greatest friend and ally. Oh my God. It's so funny

[03:47:54] that these guys literally run around and they're like, no, you don't understand. I do have

[03:47:58] dual loyalty. And so does every Jew. Like what are we doing? Like it is unbelievably

[03:48:04] anti-Semitic. You know who else says that? Nick Fuentes, dumbass. It's so funny that

[03:48:10] people sincerely will be like, I am Jewish. And as a Jew, I'm telling you, Jews have dual

[03:48:16] loyalty, okay? They only care about Israel. And if you actually say, No, I don't think

[03:48:22] that's the case. Then you're fucking anti Semitic. But then if Nick Fuentes says the

[03:48:27] same thing, they go, Wow, that's unbelievable anti Semitism. It's so ridiculous. Yeah, Nick

[03:48:35] Fuentes and and Zionists who say, Oh, yeah, the only thing you just care about is Israel

[03:48:41] or every Jew is beholden to the interests of Israel are saying the same thing

[03:48:55] The difference is

[03:48:58] Nick Fuentes points to that

[03:49:01] false complication and says is a bad thing and therefore no Jew must ever be trusted

[03:49:07] But Jewish Zionists and Christian Zionists pointed that conflation as a defensive shield for some weird reason.

[03:49:17] And long gone are the days where that actually works as a defensive shield.

[03:49:23] It's gone. It doesn't work anymore. People don't fuck with Israel.

[03:49:28] So, all you're left with in that situation is a false conflation between an unbelievably

[03:49:37] unpopular state doing war crimes and the entirety of the Jewish population.

[03:49:48] He was either a non-Oran anti-Zionist.

[03:49:51] Do you believe that Israel has the right to exist in its current form?

[03:49:56] Well, there's two things there. So first on the genocide point, it's not my opinion.

[03:50:01] It's genocide scholars. It's Francesca Albanese, the special UN rapporteur, and lots of eminent

[03:50:08] experts who have been very clear it's a genocide. I don't think you can wait until afterwards

[03:50:11] after all the children and people have been killed and murdered and massacred to then

[03:50:15] go, now it's time to do something about it. Anyone who has a phone can see every single

[03:50:19] day, streamed images of some of the most brutal attacks.

[03:50:23] I'm not really pushing back on what we've seen, I'm just simply saying, you know, is

[03:50:29] it a responsible position for somebody who wants to be Prime Minister to prejudge what

[03:50:33] is a legal issue?

[03:50:36] I think what would be incredibly irresponsible is what this Prime Minister is doing, which

[03:50:40] is seeing the death and disruption that's happening every single day and continue to

[03:50:44] arm a genocidal apartheid state.

[03:50:46] I think it's really important that we use the power and leverage that we have, that

[03:50:49] we don't wait until after the event.

[03:50:52] And by the way, even if it wasn't a genocide,

[03:50:54] even if it's tens of thousands of people

[03:50:56] who are being murdered and massacred who are innocent,

[03:50:58] surely that's enough to do something about it.

[03:51:01] Which is obviously an important issue,

[03:51:02] but just very briefly, Israel, yes, has a right to exist?

[03:51:07] Yes or no?

[03:51:08] I don't believe any country has a right to exist.

[03:51:10] People have a right to exist.

[03:51:11] The Israelis have a right to exist for Palestinians.

[03:51:14] My God.

[03:51:15] I mean, people will get mad about this statement. There's many different ways. This is probably one of the most perfect ones.

[03:51:31] One of the perfect answers to this question. I like the Zoran answer too. It's like, look, Israel in its current formation is an apartheid state.

[03:51:42] doing a genocide, of course, those things are unacceptable. So no, as a Jewish ethno state,

[03:51:50] no, of course, it's not allowed to exist. No ethno state should exist. No ethno state has

[03:51:55] a right to exist. The question is, did Nazi Germany have a right to exist then, right?

[03:52:03] Did Rhodesia have a right to exist? Did apartheid South Africa have a right to exist? Oh, no,

[03:52:07] they didn't. And it was handled, right? And the same goes for Israel. This question is silly.

[03:52:20] It's a silly question.

[03:52:23] I think it's our role as a third country to make sure that there's fairness and transparency

[03:52:41] and accountability about a peace process.

[03:52:43] I always think these semantics about whether a country has a right to exist actually just

[03:52:47] ends up in gatekeeping, which is partly how we ended up in this mess in the first place

[03:52:50] from the Balfour Declaration.

[03:52:52] But the implication of that, of course,

[03:52:54] is that Britain doesn't have to write to exist,

[03:52:56] which also carries quite heavy concentrations.

[03:52:59] But, Pippa, you're going to share with something.

[03:53:01] Yeah, well, this week, Zia Youssef announced

[03:53:04] that a reformed government would prioritise

[03:53:06] putting migrant detention centres in...

[03:53:11] By the way, you know this was a good take

[03:53:13] because everyone's response to that

[03:53:15] on the time that was,

[03:53:16] I love this Palestine, now I have a right to exist, huh?

[03:53:25] Yeah, I don't know if you know this,

[03:53:26] but currently Israel is the sovereign nation

[03:53:29] in this entire region and is dominating the lives

[03:53:32] of Palestinians, okay?

[03:53:36] So thank you for acknowledging

[03:53:42] that Israel doesn't have a right to exist

[03:53:44] as an apartheid state.

[03:53:46] Oh, wow, I fucking down that food, bro. I hounded that shit. It's just so, so stupid

[03:54:08] that people run around talking about like, like, Oh, I know you want to you want to bring

[03:54:13] up genocide, but that's totally a secondary concern to what I want to talk about, which

[03:54:21] is Jewish feelings around the issue of Israel. What are we doing? What do you mean? It's

[03:54:31] genocide, man. Like, what the fuck are you talking about? What do you talk about? Even

[03:54:35] if it wasn't genocide, even if it was just unlimited war crimes, like, what do you mean?

[03:54:39] feelings. So fuck. Like, people are not conditioned to understand that when I say something like

[03:54:51] that they go, well, there it is anti semitism. It's like, buddy, I'm not the one pitting the

[03:54:59] feeling of Jews against the actions of the Israeli state as though those two things cannot live in

[03:55:05] totally separate realities, right? You are, you're the one who's like literally

[03:55:11] bringing up the feeling of Jews when talking about dealing with Israel's

[03:55:18] genocide. It's insane. I didn't bring it up. You did. I personally don't care what

[03:55:25] Christians think about the state of Israel or what Muslims think about the

[03:55:29] state of Israel or what Jews think about the state of Israel. I say the things

[03:55:34] About the state of Israel that I say because Israel is doing those things Israel's doing the harm. I

[03:55:41] Care about genocide. I care about fascism. I care about stopping genocide and stopping fascism. That's it. Who gives a fuck?

[03:55:49] If it hurts people's feelings like what a ridiculous conversation. Oh

[03:55:55] I'm so sorry. I didn't realize I was offending the sensibilities of people that you have decided are

[03:56:01] are in their feelings by the way. There's no, like I'm sure there's a significant percentage certainly.

[03:56:11] But it's completely, completely irrelevant in this calculation, number one. And number two,

[03:56:18] you're the one who's bringing it up and falsely, falsely presenting it as though like, oh, well, we can't say anything.

[03:56:25] Like you think this is a,

[03:56:27] You think that this is a successful counter. Well, what happens when you go, okay, I don't care

[03:56:35] Just as I don't care about the feelings of Christian

[03:56:38] Nationalists when they talk about how America has experienced the great replacement

[03:56:44] I don't give a fuck about the feelings of supporters of Israel whether they're Jewish or non-Jewish don't fucking matter to me at all

[03:56:51] Oh, it doesn't matter this much, the fuck.

[03:56:55] Apartheid is apartheid, it's a crime regardless

[03:56:58] of whether or not it hurts the feeling of Jews to hear,

[03:57:03] okay?

[03:57:04] Same with genocide.

[03:57:08] Oh, I hate that.

[03:57:15] Let's hear what this was.

[03:57:16] Ashok Kumar, political economist, dismantles the Green Party anti-Semitism smear. Let's

[03:57:24] take a look.

[03:57:25] Let's do that. Let's talk about it. One thing I think we all agree is a big story is the

[03:57:31] fact that we are seeing a massive increase in physical and verbal attacks on Jews in

[03:57:36] this country. The stabbing of two.

[03:57:38] Hey, it's on a long time. Vaughton George just wanted to let you know my chill brother

[03:57:42] heard of you for the first time is the Ayatollah of Woke that wants AI to die thanks to Wired.

[03:57:47] Keep up the good work. How did he react? Did he think it was funny or did he get really mad?

[03:57:56] Because like sometimes chuds can have a good sense of humor when they hear stuff like that.

[03:57:59] They could be like, hey, yeah, that's kind of funny. I didn't know libtorts could make jokes.

[03:58:06] There's like two different kinds of chuds. There's the chud that's like offended at everything.

[03:58:10] Unfortunately, that type of chud has become way more commonplace as of late.

[03:58:15] But then there's also like chuds who are just like normie chuds who kind of laugh, laugh

[03:58:20] things off, you know.

[03:58:22] Jewish men by an alleged suspect currently have already been charged.

[03:58:27] Believed to be an Islamist attack has caused great concern.

[03:58:30] We think some it's in the Downing Street and we're going to be tracking hate crime prosecutions

[03:58:37] and the like.

[03:58:38] There's no doubt at all there is a problem of anti-Semitism within the Green Party because

[03:58:42] the Green Party itself is investigating no less than 30 candidates who have been publicly

[03:58:47] identified as having made, but posted all said or written blatantly anti-mis-santismic

[03:58:52] things called.

[03:58:56] It's just crazy.

[03:59:04] I don't know.

[03:59:05] I don't know how it keeps happening like this.

[03:59:06] so wild that anytime there is a party leadership or a party that's like critical of Israel in any

[03:59:13] way shape or form. Okay. Anytime. Anytime.

[03:59:36] There's always just some some anti-Semites

[03:59:42] There's always some anti-Semites around they just like deploy it

[03:59:47] reduce firm in rats celebrate the October 7th massacre I'm suggesting that how much are you know resistance fighters?

[03:59:54] What do you mean like like

[03:59:56] Suggesting that Hamas are resistance fighters

[03:59:59] That statement in and of itself is not anti-semitic man. What the fuck are you saying?

[04:00:04] I mean, that's literally just true. Okay. It's just objectively true. They are a part of the Palestinian resistance

[04:00:13] What the fuck does that even mean?

[04:00:17] Like they we've gotten to a point where it's like unless you say every every Palestinian especially every like Hamas militant is a

[04:00:25] Is not you can't even say militant actually you need to say Hamas rapist barbarian

[04:00:30] When you say Hamas, you have to say baby beheader, otherwise, it's anti-semitic.

[04:00:36] If you even dare to question whether or not Hamas have beheaded babies, you're also anti-semitic.

[04:00:41] Just actually saying Hamas in and of itself is anti-semitic.

[04:00:44] Fuck it, I've decided.

[04:00:46] Our Green Party activist, you tell us about the issues.

[04:00:51] Is it an issue if you support a party and the party has as much support as the Green

[04:00:56] part is garnered in recent months, which is basically siding with Islamist extremists

[04:01:02] and anti- Islamist extremists.

[04:01:03] Like your races, what do you mean siding with Islamist extremist, Islamic extremists?

[04:01:09] That's the other side of this puzzle that is endlessly frustrating.

[04:01:14] On the one hand, they try to pull the woke card.

[04:01:17] And then on the other hand, and this is, this is how Zion is a word, it's a very racist

[04:01:22] ideology.

[04:01:24] They immediately hit the, well, why are you siding with these like Arab barbarians who

[04:01:28] want to fucking do jihad in the Western world?

[04:01:32] It's like, well, you can't have it both ways.

[04:01:35] What is this like?

[04:01:37] It's either equal opportunity bigotry or it's equal opportunity wokeness.

[04:01:42] We can't have DEI just for Jews, okay?

[04:01:45] And not even just for Jews, let's be real, because it doesn't even exist for Zach Bielanski,

[04:01:49] who is Jewish.

[04:01:50] the i just for pro-israel jews

[04:01:56] what the fuck is this argument

[04:01:58] it makes no sense it literally doesn't make sense you can't be like wow

[04:02:03] really messed up to your attacking uh... white men like this have fucked up of

[04:02:06] you

[04:02:07] uh... so-called

[04:02:09] uh... so

[04:02:12] so much for the the uh... tolerate left here

[04:02:15] okay so much of the tolerate left so much for the tolerate left

[04:02:18] You're a pedophile because you're trans. Boom. It's like okay. Well, I guess you're not woke at all. Why am I expecting to be woke then?

[04:02:30] The fuck is this shit?

[04:02:37] You see mice and is and is putting up candidates in local elections who are

[04:02:41] But recently outrageously disgustingly racist against Jews. Oh

[04:02:47] Okay, so for so self-assured too. She's just like yeah, I really cooked on that one

[04:02:52] Firstly, you know, we have the over 4,500 candidates. We've gone from party six months ago

[04:02:58] That was this is also the double standard like this woman would absolutely

[04:03:02] Could call me anything under the fucking Sun, right?

[04:03:05] I mean, she's doing it to Muslims in general here like calling him Islamist jihadist

[04:03:10] But if you were to turn around and use the b-word on her right immediately not only was she

[04:03:17] Automatically put on the fucking tears white woman tears

[04:03:21] But then also you get yelled at by every fucking feminist organization as well

[04:03:26] Now I'm not saying this is appropriate to do I would never do it. Okay, but I just want you to understand. I want you to understand

[04:03:35] Okay, yes the b-word British

[04:03:38] British

[04:03:40] But do you see what I mean?

[04:03:46] It's not even like, like, this is not even like, oh, society, society cares a lot about

[04:03:53] feminism.

[04:03:54] Clearly they don't, right?

[04:03:55] We live in an unbelievably misogynistic, patriarchal society.

[04:03:59] That's not my argument at all.

[04:04:00] But I'm saying that there is like a priority of permissible bigotry and a system of varying

[04:04:09] degrees of stigma. And Islamophobia is not stigmatized at the institutional level at all.

[04:04:17] As a matter of fact, it's welcomed and it's rewarded. It's incredible.

[04:04:25] 60,000 to now having 230,000. And so, yeah, of course, there's needs to be a, you know,

[04:04:30] more thorough vetting process. But it's not that those 30 candidates are being investigated for

[04:04:35] anti-Semitism. They're being investigated for a series of comments, some of them racist,

[04:04:40] some of them sexist, or the accusations of that. They haven't been found guilty of that.

[04:04:45] And a larger portion of them are guilty of being critical of the state of Israel. Some

[04:04:50] of them, of course, are anti-Semitic, but a lot of them aren't. I think-

[04:04:53] No one's being investigated for being critical of Israel.

[04:04:56] That's not true. The list was released by Labor dossier this morning. I'm sure you've

[04:05:01] seen it. And they are, you know, for example, retweeting the Bob Billion lyrics about debt

[04:05:06] to the IDF. I'm sorry, Julia, but that's not a crime. We're not allowed to criticize

[04:05:11] and even call for the death of a foreign army. If I said debt to the IRGC, should that be

[04:05:16] criminalized? If I said debt to the Russian army, should that be criminalized? Should

[04:05:20] I be deselected as a labor candidate or a reform candidate or a green candidate?

[04:05:24] Absolutely. I think there are parties that have platforms, and those platforms are the

[04:05:30] policies upon which we run on. Individuals who may have tweeted things years ago out

[04:05:34] of a massive list of candidates, I think that is not an accurate representation of the party.

[04:05:39] And I think that would say the same thing for Labour. I'd say the same thing for reform.

[04:05:43] When it continues to happen again and again and again, and you're saying it's a vetting problem,

[04:05:47] why do, again, you could argue, why do those people think that the Green Party is the home for them?

[04:05:53] Do you think that reform is a racist and sexist party because of the dossier that was released

[04:05:58] I don't think so, but I think they do have a problem.

[04:06:01] Why is it one rule, why is it?

[04:06:03] What?

[04:06:04] You don't think reform is a racist party,

[04:06:08] but they have a problem with racism,

[04:06:10] but you think the Green Party is an anti-Semitic party?

[04:06:16] What?

[04:06:18] Dude, these guys don't even try to entertain impartiality.

[04:06:23] impartiality. Wow! This is just like the Tory leader going on TV and being like,

[04:06:35] no, I think Tommy Robinson, Yaxley Lennon, should be able to do his anti-refugee rallies

[04:06:46] because they don't harm Jews, which they do, by the way. So that's also ridiculous. They do

[04:06:51] say anti-Semitic shit at those rallies. So it's holy fuck, you scare the shit out of me.

[04:06:57] So that's also ironic in and of itself. But pro-Palestinian pro-Palestinian rallies are

[04:07:04] deeply anti-Semitic and very scary for Jews, so they cannot continue. It's crazy.

[04:07:09] Like they're not even doing the whole like, Oh, bigotry is bigotry. It's unacceptable no

[04:07:14] matter what. They're like, no, bigotry only goes one way. And that's the green party.

[04:07:21] That's crazy to me, that they're so open about their lack of standards for the reform,

[04:07:31] and the only smoke they have is for the Greens.

[04:07:33] No, but I didn't say the Green Party was anti-Semitism, I said you've got a problem

[04:07:37] with anti-Semitism.

[04:07:38] It's different things.

[04:07:39] No, I don't think there's a problem with anti-Semitism.

[04:07:41] I think that a small proportion of candidates who've said things in the past, they're being

[04:07:46] not investigated.

[04:07:47] There are questions about the the likes on posts and the and the retweet your post from from not only

[04:07:55] Zach Polanski but also both deputy leaders as well that would suggest that this initiative

[04:07:59] are done by... There are so many pieces of paper in front of me yet...

[04:08:05] Oh I'm so frazzled. Oh how dastardly the levels of anti-semitism of the Green Party candidacies

[04:08:17] is off the charts, I tell you. Here is Zach Polanski, your leader, the leader of your

[04:08:27] so-called decentralized Green Party, saying, oh, trigger warning for our audience, free

[04:08:37] Palestine. Oh, how terrifying. Can you say the levels of anti-Semitism coming from the

[04:08:48] Jew himself? Zak Polanski, I of course am not Jewish myself, but I am pro-Israel and

[04:08:55] therefore no better between good Jews and bad Jews. That's right. How? Zak Polanski

[04:09:06] She is like the tweet declaring Palestine to be a fray from the river to the sea.

[04:09:17] No, no, no, I'll message you often, but you would have seen them.

[04:09:21] I want to know, please inform the viewers.

[04:09:25] Oh my gosh, she's so fucking frazzled.

[04:09:27] It's awesome.

[04:09:30] It's awesome.

[04:09:31] I haven't seen in my collection of which leaders I'm just been trying to find out.

[04:09:40] Well, I will, I'm literally in the edge of my seat.

[04:09:44] By the way, what's up with this green party activists?

[04:09:46] This guy's maybe the reason why he's got smoke is because he's American, right?

[04:09:51] Dr. Ashok Kumar.

[04:09:53] This, this vital breaking.

[04:09:56] He's just like, I just realized his accent is not even British

[04:10:03] Yeah, I mean my goat respect respect hell yeah hell yeah dr. Ashok Kumar cook them

[04:10:17] My god, this is this is like the the Piers Morgan Russell brand moment, you know

[04:10:23] When Russell Brand is like, oh, I'm gonna find the Bible passage. One second,

[04:10:28] uh, licking his finger, flipping through the Bible pages. Oh, it's right here. Oh, I lost it.

[04:10:35] I lost it.

[04:10:38] Well, you know that these are issues. I'm just a great party leader shared a conspiracy theory.

[04:10:44] Rachel Milford, deputy leader, co-debt leader shared a conspiracy theory about the gold screen

[04:10:48] attack in which two men were stabbed. She had a post which claimed a third victim,

[04:10:51] that there was Muslim being raised to seek a weaponized, desperate narrative.

[04:10:55] That's just the truth!

[04:10:57] Oh my God, that's the one you pulled out!

[04:11:00] That's one of the anti-Semitic conspiracies.

[04:11:03] The idea that there was a third victim that Sky News and numerous other major TV channels

[04:11:09] refused to admit that there was a third victim who happened to be Muslim, by the way,

[04:11:14] in an effort to present this as a, as a deliberate, targeted, exclusive, anti-Semitic attack.

[04:11:23] That's not, that's not an anti-Semitic conspiracy. That's just what happened. That's what you guys did.

[04:11:28] Okay? That's crazy. Just saying what happened.

[04:11:35] Saying what happened is a, is an anti-Semitic conspiracy. Okay.

[04:11:38] If you don't call this a heinous Islamic crime, a jihad, which I'm sure people that look

[04:11:48] like you love, right?

[04:11:52] Muslim man, right?

[04:11:57] Then you're a heinous anti-Semite, which I already knew because you're brown and Muslim.

[04:12:06] I expect you to be anti-semitic.

[04:12:10] That's why you would vote for an anti-semitic Jew like Zach Polanski,

[04:12:15] the chief architect of anti-semitism.

[04:12:21] Perhaps worse than the Ayatollah, who you love and admire, I assume.

[04:12:27] Ha, you brown boys.

[04:12:30] You congregate and foment anti-semitism as you narrow your eyes.

[04:12:37] Tiff, I mean that's just one example, not an alias.

[04:12:41] Wait, how is that an example? You just read out, for example, earlier,

[04:12:45] that there were two victims of that attack. In fact, there were three victims.

[04:12:48] The first victim was Muslim. Why is it an anti-semitic or conspiratorial?

[04:12:53] Why haven't we mentioned that? The prime minister didn't mention that.

[04:12:56] The media hasn't mentioned that. The first victim was Muslim. Do Muslim lives not matter?

[04:13:02] He wasn't hospitalised. I think that was aimed at Jews in the view of pretty much anybody involved.

[04:13:10] But why not even mention that a Muslim was attacked first? And he was hospitalised actually, but

[04:13:16] his name is Ishmael Hussein. He was a hospitalised. And we should name that. His life matters too.

[04:13:21] That's not anti-Semitic, that's not anti-Jewish hatred, to simply mention the other person

[04:13:26] that was, there's also staff.

[04:13:27] Well, I think it's not, it's not the mention of it.

[04:13:30] It's the idea that the reason it's not mentioned is because, it looks pretty, let's talk about-

[04:13:35] So Julia, do you think, Julia, let me just ask you, do you think that that people should

[04:13:39] have meant, that you should have mentioned that earlier in your program when you talked

[04:13:42] about- On the day, they talked about two, on the day, when I was on air, on the Thursday,

[04:13:45] after that if it happened, I went to go to school, there was only talk of two victims

[04:13:50] out to the time. But do you think it's a problem that we don't mention that we don't mention?

[04:13:54] Two victims at a time. If you want to take that up the Metropolitan Police, that's an issue.

[04:13:58] But then, but then you, but then you've just given the story and you've only mentioned

[04:14:02] two of the victims. I think three were stabbed.

[04:14:09] He should be like, you should say it. Say it out loud. How many victims? Was it two or was it

[04:14:14] Was it two or was it three?

[04:14:15] How many victims were stabbed?

[04:14:19] What was the religion of the third victim, the first victim?

[04:14:24] It's like she can't even fucking say she's like,

[04:14:26] I can't, I can't, it's anti-semitic for me to acknowledge this.

[04:14:30] I can't do it. I would never play your games, perfidious Islam.

[04:14:37] You're perfidious Islamo-communism.

[04:14:42] How dastardly, appalling, wanting me to say three victims rather than two.

[04:14:51] Ah!

[04:14:55] Yes, I bet you'd want me to use numbers.

[04:15:01] What's next?

[04:15:03] Arabic numerals?

[04:15:07] How dare you?

[04:15:09] How dare you?

[04:15:11] I would never participate in algebra!

[04:15:15] More like gibberish to me.

[04:15:18] The police and the prime minister keep talking about two Jewish men being stuck.

[04:15:23] Yeah, but you're a journalist. You're a big journalist.

[04:15:26] The journalists in this country should not be mentioned.

[04:15:29] Who was being targeted?

[04:15:31] A Muslim and two Jewish people.

[04:15:34] A Muslim and two Jewish people.

[04:15:36] And you think the Muslim was targeted because he was Muslim?

[04:15:40] She's like, actually, I've decided it was three victims of anti-Semitism.

[04:15:52] I bet the mass stabber thought the Muslim was Jew.

[04:15:58] That's right.

[04:15:59] How about that?

[04:16:00] Bet you have nothing to say about that, do you, Muslim man?

[04:16:08] That's crazy.

[04:16:10] This is this is reminding me of the former synagogue being firebombed. Okay. Yeah. It's

[04:16:17] been a mosque for a decade. Okay. At that point, it's not a former synagogue. It's

[04:16:22] a mosque. Okay. They did this, by the way, last week, a couple of days after the, the,

[04:16:35] stabbing incident. It's unbelievable. Dude, British media has lost their dang minds.

[04:16:44] I've never seen anyone utilize language like this. Former synagogue, victim to possible

[04:16:50] anti-Semitic hate crime. It's a fucking mosque now. It's been a mosque for like a decade,

[04:16:57] and they called it a former synagogue to make it seem like it was a another anti-Semitic

[04:17:03] hate crime taking place if you call it a mosque you're an anti-semite yeah IDF

[04:17:11] soldier kidnapped from a tank

[04:17:16] well I don't know but I don't think we should not mention that I don't know

[04:17:20] the full story. Can I talk to you about I've got very little time. Maybe I'm

[04:17:25] guilty of conspiracy theories. You think there's a conspiracy theory, Brad? I don't think there is and I think suggesting this.

[04:17:30] Yeah, I liked it. He said there's no conspiracy here. I'm just doing it because I'm a piece of shit

[04:17:36] Because she kept doing it too

[04:17:38] Like she literally with no sense of irony whatsoever

[04:17:43] Straight up leaned into the same statement that he was making which is like

[04:17:47] You know the media just refuses to acknowledge that there was a a muslim victim

[04:17:52] And she's like what muslim victim

[04:17:55] I bet

[04:17:56] They thought he was jewish too

[04:17:58] Who's doing conspiracies now?

[04:18:02] Can I talk about some other policies for the love of God? Please, Arshal.

[04:18:06] Oh, so good.

[04:18:10] Oh my God, that was awesome. Respect to this guy.

[04:18:14] Wait, bros of Stalin. Wasn't this guy

[04:18:18] a fan of mine back in the day? Am I crazy?

[04:18:22] I feel like I remembered that I feel like I used to interact with this Twitter account.

[04:18:32] I say back in the day because clearly they're no longer a follower.

[04:18:35] So I'm pretty sure this used to be a Hassanabi head.

[04:18:50] Trump says the ceasefire is going, it's in effect.

[04:18:54] Trump says retaliatory strikes on Iran are just a love tap.

[04:19:16] Was the East London former synagogue, it wasn't since 2020, it's, was the East London

[04:19:21] former synagogue targeted in an arson attack, really a mosque, a former synagogue targeted

[04:19:24] in an arson attack.

[04:19:25] East London has been disused since 2020 with a Muslim community group making plans to

[04:19:29] purchase it.

[04:19:34] Did I glow up?

[04:19:35] Did I glow up again?

[04:19:37] Can you guys, hello, can you hear me?

[04:19:42] with green MPs and councils. The policy wasn't a serious one in that I don't think we'd actually

[04:19:48] be able to do it, but it did succeed in its key aim of getting-

[04:19:51] Am I back? Am I back? All good? We hear you. Okay.

[04:19:59] Getting a lot of media attention, social media attention in particular, as reform tries to

[04:20:04] frame the local elections as a choice between them and the Greens.

[04:20:09] Now, Zach, I'm sure you're going to say this is a total stunt on the part of reform party.

[04:20:15] I mean, but aren't you at all anxious that those people who might be thinking of...

[04:20:21] By the way, they're hitting him with a Zoran beam, but it's really funny because he's Jewish.

[04:20:25] But I guess that also doesn't matter.

[04:20:27] Just had this disgusting leaflet put through my letterbox portraying Palaeskis, that Islam

[04:20:31] is by someone from reform.

[04:20:32] Okay, here's the pamphlet.

[04:20:34] Vote green, get Islamism.

[04:20:36] about is control our borders. Wait, is that how you, is that how you spell borders with

[04:20:45] an A in England? Vote Nodge. And lo and behold, it turns out, check out my ring cam and it

[04:21:02] It turns out this is my old primary school teacher who was sacked for non-sing, couldn't

[04:21:08] make it up.

[04:21:09] This is the phase of reform.

[04:21:10] A creepy old man staring through your front door, wondering if there's any kids in the

[04:21:13] house.

[04:21:14] Migrants aren't the problem, Mr. Farage.

[04:21:15] It's the scourge of civilism that's run rampant through Britain, for shame.

[04:21:22] Hell yes.

[04:21:25] Voting Green might be, in some sense,

[04:21:29] deterred by this reform threat,

[04:21:31] but if they vote Green,

[04:21:32] they're going to get a migrant detention centre.

[04:21:36] I do think it's a ludicrous proposal from reform,

[04:21:39] and it would be frankly laughable

[04:21:41] if it wasn't so dangerous and toxic.

[04:21:43] Just last week, two Sudanese women

[04:21:46] died from a small boat,

[04:21:47] one of them was 16 years old.

[04:21:49] So this is an issue that requires

[04:21:51] clarity and compassion and care.

[04:21:53] And actually, it strikes me

[04:21:54] that the amount of people since 2018 coming over on small boats

[04:21:58] is less in terms of the asylum seekers

[04:22:00] than the refugees we've housed quite rightly for the homes for Ukraine scheme.

[04:22:04] This shows when we make political choices,

[04:22:06] we can save lives and actually show compassion.

[04:22:09] And what I think this shows about reform

[04:22:11] is that they're on the run from the Green Party.

[04:22:12] They're absolutely terrified in the same way

[04:22:14] that the Labour government have.

[04:22:15] They're choosing to aim their fire at the Green Party.

[04:22:18] And I think what that says is tomorrow I'm not complacent at all.

[04:22:22] I am feeling confident though

[04:22:23] all the parties recognise that I vote for the Green Party is a vote to end this toxic combination

[04:22:28] of low wages and high bills and actually we're going to end rip off Britain and that's what

[04:22:33] reform don't like because they want to give tax breaks to their billionaire mates.

[04:22:37] Zach as always thank you so much for joining us and you know like all of us we will be

[04:22:44] you know next week going through what actually happens in these very important polls tomorrow

[04:22:50] but I hope to see you soon.

[04:22:56] US officials said Marco Rubio's meeting with Pope Leo the Vatican was aimed at strengthening ties,

[04:23:02] but it seems the Secretary of State was also on a mission to repair them.

[04:23:09] Relations between Washington and the Vatican are at an unprecedented low,

[04:23:13] after President Donald Trump's repeated attacks on the head of the Catholic Church.

[04:23:18] Outside near St. Peter's Square, a group of protesters gathered with a message.

[04:23:24] We're telling the Italian government that Rubio is not welcome because the Trump and Netanyahu

[04:23:32] administrations are tainted by crimes, by the genocide in Palestine, the invasion of Lebanon,

[04:23:38] and this illegal war in Iran.

[04:23:41] Some visitors here say Trump's comments about America's first pope were inappropriate.

[04:23:46] I think it's a really bold move to criticize a Pope because he's like the leader of the

[04:23:51] Christian Church and there's so many people that respect him and I think it's really really

[04:23:55] disrespectful to do that.

[04:23:56] I think the Catholics would be very disappointed and sad about it and yeah, generally everybody

[04:24:03] really because it certainly doesn't deserve it, it's a beautiful man.

[04:24:08] Last month the US president launched a verbal attack on the Pope after Leo condemned the

[04:24:13] joint U.S.-Israeli offensive against Iran.

[04:24:16] He's a man that doesn't think that we should be toying with a country that wants a nuclear

[04:24:24] weapon so they can blow up the world.

[04:24:26] I'm not a fan of football.

[04:24:29] Leo said he would not be intimidated by Trump.

[04:24:32] I have fulfilled the duty of the Trump administration, not of speaking out and not of being a football

[04:24:38] person in the gospel.

[04:24:39] Marco Rubio may hope to ease tensions between Washington and the Vatican.

[04:24:44] The problem is, you can't predict whether Donald Trump won't reignite them.

[04:24:49] After the meeting, Rubio said on social media that Washington and the Vatican shared a commitment

[04:24:55] to promoting peace and human dignity.

[04:24:58] Diplomatic language after weeks of comments by Trump that some observers have described

[04:25:03] as undignified.

[04:25:04] This morning, Alabama is set to become the latest state to redraw congressional districts

[04:25:13] in favor of Republicans following a landmark Supreme Court ruling.

[04:25:17] Last week's decision makes it much harder for states to create districts favoring minority

[04:25:22] candidates.

[04:25:23] Ed O'Keefe is in Montgomery, the state capitol with the latest on this.

[04:25:26] Ed, good morning.

[04:25:27] What can you tell us?

[04:25:28] Good to see you.

[04:25:30] The fight over who ultimately controls the House of Representatives next year is now

[04:25:33] playing out here in the deep south. This isn't just about the partisan power

[04:25:37] plays that we've seen in other big states. Down here it's also about the

[04:25:40] decades-long fight over who ultimately represents mostly black communities.

[04:25:46] Alabama Democratic Congressman Shomari figures may soon be out of a job, not

[04:25:51] because he loses an election, but because his district could be drawn off the map.

[04:25:56] People are not happy with the idea of this state legislature trying to take

[04:26:01] us back to a place where we've been before. State Years represents most of

[04:26:04] Montgomery, Alabama, the birthplace of the modern civil rights movement. His

[04:26:09] constituents don't want the area to be redrawn into Republican-held

[04:26:13] congressional districts. I just felt like I'd been hit by a ton of bricks. So many

[04:26:17] people gave their actual lives in order to exercise their fundamental right to

[04:26:22] vote. Alabama Republicans like Attorney General Steve Marshall want the

[04:26:26] Supreme Court to reverse previous federal court rulings requiring his state

[04:26:30] to create two districts with mostly black voters.

[04:26:33] Is this a Republican power gram?

[04:26:35] No, I think what it is is it likes to legislate in Alabama

[04:26:37] and being able to exercise their authority.

[04:26:39] Unlike the new maps drawn in other states after President Trump asked Texas

[04:26:43] to come up with more Republican seats,

[04:26:45] Alabama plus Tennessee and Louisiana are now moving quickly

[04:26:49] in response to last week's Supreme Court ruling

[04:26:51] that narrowed the Voting Rights Act.

[04:26:53] So now any state can redraw boundaries with less accounting for race.

[04:26:58] race. And Marshall, who's also running for the U.S. Senate, argues Alabama's map should

[04:27:04] better reflect the state's Republican tilt. All our constitutional officers are from the

[04:27:09] Republican Party. It's no different than what you see in New England, for example, having

[04:27:14] a whole slate of Democratic representatives. So Alabama's still waiting for court rulings

[04:27:19] on whether it can move ahead. A ruling could come as soon as today or tomorrow. Tennessee

[04:27:23] could act as soon as today to redraw a democratic, mostly black district around the city of Memphis.

[04:27:29] Louisiana is going to act in the coming days as well. Lots of moving parts, Nate, with just 180

[04:27:33] days to go. You're right about that. You're right about that. Thank you. This is Democracy Now,

[04:27:39] democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. I'm Amy Goodman with Nermeen Sheikh. We end today's

[04:27:46] show with a look at voting rights right here in the United States. The Supreme Court's gutting of

[04:27:51] of the Voting Rights Act has led to a scramble by southern states to gerrymander congressional

[04:27:55] districts before the November midterms. Last week, Supreme Court ruling makes it harder

[04:28:01] for minorities to challenge electoral maps as racially discriminatory under the Voting

[04:28:06] Rights Act. On Monday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a new gerrymandered congressional

[04:28:12] district map into law, posting on the social media platform X, quote, signed, sealed and

[04:28:18] delivered. And on Wednesday, the Alabama House voted to approve a plan that would change

[04:28:23] the congressional district map during an active election, even though some votes in

[04:28:28] the May 19th primary have already been cast.

[04:28:33] But in states across the South, civil rights activists are also pushing back. In Tennessee,

[04:28:38] hundreds of protesters marched to the state capitol on Nashville Wednesday as lawmakers

[04:28:43] unveiled a gerrymandered congressional map that could see Republicans take control of

[04:28:48] all nine of Tennessee's U.S. House seats.

[04:28:51] The General Assembly is expected to vote on the new map as soon as today.

[04:28:55] For more, we're joined in New York by Ari Berman, National Voting Rights Correspondent,

[04:29:00] Mother Jones, his latest book, Minority Rule, the right-wing attack on the will of the people,

[04:29:05] and the fight to resist it.

[04:29:07] Can you talk about all of these developments?

[04:29:09] in Nashville where we're just listening to these hundreds of protesters. Good morning, Amy. So

[04:29:17] really in front of Amy? Are you guys? Yeah, enough of y'all. Stop kissing.

[04:29:22] In front of Amy Goodman of all people. Disgusting. Have some respect. Yes, I didn't die. Well, I almost

[04:29:32] did and to use the bathroom. Okay, calm down. Jesus Christ. New Trump truth down plays Iran's attack.

[04:29:50] It I see the attack that they're taking in response to the insider trading allegations

[04:29:54] is that it's an Iranian sigh up. This is a lie. Axios didn't report even once over the last three

[04:29:59] weeks, that a deal was imminent, the Iranian regime and state TV and its

[04:30:02] boss and influence council social media are pushing this lie. What do you mean?

[04:30:08] Am I? Are my eyes deceiving me?

[04:30:13] Or is Barack Reveed just simply hoping that people don't remember that every fucking

[04:30:20] every Sunday night?

[04:30:21] A suspiciously timed text comes from Barak Ravid saying, you know, breaking sources.

[04:30:34] Deal is imminent.

[04:30:40] Axios reported five times in the 19 days that a deal with Iran was imminent, five times

[04:30:45] and no deal materialized.

[04:30:46] It appears the reporter known as Barak Ravid along with friends of the US government may be

[04:30:50] profiting from market volatility. It's literally true. I like that he did it so much, by the

[04:31:03] way. He did it so much that Americans started getting mad. Like, it wasn't even, it wasn't

[04:31:12] even like the Iranians making jokes about it. It was literally Americans. Americans that

[04:31:19] frustrated that being like come on man you guys keep fucking saying this shit

[04:31:25] and CNN sponsored by Calci analyst Barak Ravid yeah unit 8200 Ravid

[04:31:34] this guy doesn't have any defense against this by the way he's nonstop

[04:31:39] done this a few months ago after one of Ravid stories I said people should be

[04:31:44] careful because on this one because he's often used to manipulate markets or

[04:31:48] helps set a narrative. I actually didn't even mean it as a criticism, just as a

[04:31:51] matter of basic fact. He blocked me for it, and he's done nothing to stop being

[04:31:56] used. Anyway, he definitely has well-placed sources though. Yeah, except at a certain

[04:32:05] point you must realize that it's not a well-placed source, you're being used,

[04:32:10] which I think he knows. He's not that stupid. No one is that fucking stupid.

[04:32:18] The pile on Barak reviewed his wildly unfair and ridiculously great report of the rest

[04:32:32] is noise.

[04:32:33] Everyone get back to work.

[04:32:43] I told you already, if you want to know what the American government wants you to hear

[04:32:50] or what the Israeli government wants you to hear, go to Barak Ravid.

[04:32:56] Yeah, former Axios guy, Alex Ward.

[04:33:05] Oh wait, was he Axios?

[04:33:12] No, he's the NASA reporter at Washi Journal, and he was at Politico.

[04:33:25] I have been Mark Safe for making unwise financial investments based on Barak Revy's reporting

[04:33:29] for two years now.

[04:33:30] Praise God.

[04:33:31] Yeah, late to this because my algorithm is not prime for financial twitter, but there's

[04:33:37] a wide-scale revolt underway against Barak Revy's reporting and everyone from Newsom

[04:33:41] to Kinzinger to the Iranian government are piling on. It's so funny that he's mad that

[04:33:48] like, like, dude, it's Newsom, governor of California Gavin Newsom is now fucking shitting

[04:33:55] on Barack Reveed and his like fake, uh, breaking deal imminent, according to sources. Nonsense.

[04:34:11] It's fantastic.

[04:34:13] Barak Ravita is unironically a vital journalist in this conflict as long as you realize propaganda.

[04:34:20] I mean, that's my argument.

[04:34:22] Hassan, why are you dressed as Chairman Kim? You do not have his aura?

[04:34:28] Yes, I do.

[04:34:30] Wait, what?

[04:34:35] Wait, what?

[04:34:37] Third way is distancing from you and saying McMoron condemning you is not their fault?

[04:34:41] JBL gives Platinum somewhere between a 5 and a 33% chance for being the demnominee in

[04:34:46] 2028, and I don't think that's crazy.

[04:34:48] It all floated similar on a pot last fall.

[04:34:51] I read it.

[04:34:52] May I scoff now?

[04:34:53] Sure, but after a game to go after, Abdul ended up boomeranging and hurting Mallory.

[04:34:56] I think you might be open to other POVs about what is happening on the ground.

[04:35:00] You think a DC-based think tanks, letter and political had a huge impact on voters and

[04:35:04] I'm flattered but I doubt it. Also, we'd like Dems to retain some baseline level of decency since, as you

[04:35:10] degree, Republicans have abandoned that. What was the point of doing it, if not to have an impact?

[04:35:16] And no, I don't think an average voter inflict cares about this obviously, but it has undoubtedly

[04:35:21] created a distraction for Mallory that was totally unnecessary and did zero to herd Abdul. Of course,

[04:35:26] we wanted impact. We want Dems to not campaign with terrible people, but I'm not sure we're

[04:35:30] responsible for McMorris decision to join Slotkin and Stevens and saying that campaigning

[04:35:34] with piker is bad. Oh my God. They can't even take accountability. It's crazy. They can't

[04:35:42] even take accountability for the media shitstorm. They absolutely started. Okay. And it backfired

[04:35:50] on them. They started this fucking media shitstorm. It backfired on them. So now they're like,

[04:35:57] Oh, it's not our fault. That's so awesome. That is fucking awesome, man. Thank you.

[04:36:06] Dumbass.

[04:36:10] Yeah, Zaid actually asks a very good question, says,

[04:36:14] why would you engage at all if you think you're not effective? A SOP for a donor?

[04:36:18] The old only the far left is pure enough to engage in politics since the rest of us simply dance on strings for our donors bullshit.

[04:36:23] I mean, you do though. You do this

[04:36:25] on strings for your fucking corporate sponsors.

[04:36:31] Alright, let's get to Effie for Congress.

[04:36:34] Oh wait, sorry, let me cover the Barakravi thing and then we'll get to Effie for Congress

[04:36:44] who's responding to Donald Trump.

[04:36:46] Adam Kinzinger, Slava Ukraini, also reposts Brian Allen, reposting the speaker of the

[04:36:55] Iranian parliament, Galabath.

[04:36:57] Breaking, Iran's foreign minister just posted as a response to Axios' deal report.

[04:37:01] Axios reported an imminent Iran deal five times in 19 days.

[04:37:06] Five times, no deal.

[04:37:07] Same reporter, same sources, same White House, same Israeli intelligence context.

[04:37:14] It's so funny that literally everyone at this point, everyone at this point has had enough

[04:37:20] with Barak Ravid's claims of imminent deals, okay?

[04:37:25] I laugh.

[04:37:26] I think it's funny.

[04:37:28] It's a little sad.

[04:37:32] It's a little sad that people still, the market still, you know, retaliates.

[04:37:39] But this was also a very funny response by Barak Ravid breaking complete and utter bullshit

[04:37:43] by the Hormuz Liar.

[04:37:51] The last remaining group is going to be the hogs that are mad because they can't do insider

[04:37:54] trading, only Trump and his cronies get to do it.

[04:37:59] IDF Unit 8200Vet turned Axios to SymphoDump, Barak Ravid is melting out of being exposed

[04:38:04] for his role as Trump Kushner and Whitcoff's water carrier.

[04:38:08] He's spent over a year anonymously citing this miscreance to help the manufacturer war

[04:38:11] Iran and manipulate markets time after time his reports are discredited and or

[04:38:16] shot down by Iranian officials and now everyone who's paying attention is on

[04:38:20] to him I mean but like how did people how did it get to this point for people

[04:38:26] to comprehend that Barack Revead was absolutely just you know saying whatever

[04:38:30] the fuck Trump wants him to say every time or whatever the Israeli government

[04:38:35] wants him to say every time like it doesn't make any sense to me like it

[04:38:40] It should have been pretty obvious that he is a bullshit artist who is just a stenographer

[04:38:49] for the Israeli government and the American government at times, like the 700th time that

[04:38:55] he did this.

[04:38:56] He hasn't stopped doing it.

[04:38:57] He's going to keep doing it tomorrow, too, by the way.

[04:39:03] And now everyone's paying attention is on them.

[04:39:04] In exchange, the Obama's ambassador to Israel, his favorite Revit, exposed how deeply invested

[04:39:08] is in the Trump-Kristener-Wickhoff corruption game, issuing a full-throated defense of their

[04:39:12] main channel for conflict profiteering. The ironically named Board of Peace,

[04:39:16] Reveal insists the sewer of taxpayer-funded corruption as a noble and entirely transparent

[04:39:20] endeavor aimed at stabilizing Gaza and not at lining the pockets of Trump and its cronies

[04:39:24] while the population of Gaza continues to endure deprivation and mass murder at the hands of Reveed's

[04:39:28] army. Yeah, a Trump announcement that vaguely gestures towards opening the

[04:39:39] straight before markets open. Yeah. Every time, every time you think it's an

[04:39:45] accident every Sunday night, every Sunday night, Barack Reveed. I've tweeted about

[04:39:50] it too. I've literally tweeted about it myself. I'm like, oh, here it comes.

[04:39:55] Sunday night, you already fucking know. That's the expectation. Sunday scaries and a Barak

[04:40:03] Reveal tweet saying the fucking straight-o hormones is about to be open any day now.

[04:40:08] What is the community note? Nearly 920 million in crude oil shorts were placed 70 minutes

[04:40:15] before Axios reported to the US Iran. We're nearing a 14-point deal to end the war. Oil

[04:40:20] then plunged 12% with the position gaining an estimated 125 million. This has happened repeatedly

[04:40:25] through during the conflict. Why does the whole stock market keep falling for it? God,

[04:40:32] don't even give me fucking started, man. Because the stock market in my estimation, and I'm

[04:40:40] a humble non economist, okay, a dumb guy, a layman, the average Joe, but from my uneducated,

[04:40:51] totally speculative assessment. The stock market is not pegged to any reliable fundamentals.

[04:41:01] It's just on pure hope at this point. It has consolidated capital so much that there's

[04:41:08] just a bunch of rich people holding on to a hope and a dream that it keeps growing, okay?

[04:41:15] that the number has to keep going up. Otherwise, all hell will break loose.

[04:41:23] That's it.

[04:41:29] Anyway, let me close off some of these fucking tabs.

[04:41:41] It is very funny though,

[04:41:43] The Barak Ravid is very mad at people calling him out.

[04:41:51] Um, yeah.

[04:41:55] Timmy Fackiola, uh, kind of defends me, but not really to the

[04:42:01] Mike Lawler, uh, statement.

[04:42:03] Hassan, uh, says Americans are nine 11 Hamas, a thousand times better than

[04:42:06] blah, blah, blah, blah, all this shit.

[04:42:09] Right.

[04:42:10] Timmy says the first responders in New York, 17, weren't bothered

[04:42:12] when Trump brought 9-11 conspiracy theories, Laura Loomer, to the Morrill last year.

[04:42:16] And they didn't mind Lawler going on bills, saying, staying in the airplane when it hits

[04:42:20] the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly Marr.

[04:42:24] The mayor of the city of where 9-11 happened hangs out with Hassan, 9-11 baggage just doesn't

[04:42:29] seem to move the electoral needle. If anything, it's distracted from the Hamas praise, which

[04:42:33] is far more potent. But even then, you have to explain to most people in the district

[04:42:36] who Hassan is. That's why I said it's like a, not exactly a defense of me. I don't think

[04:42:41] that guy likes me all that much because he said Hamas praise.

[04:42:47] Okay.

[04:42:51] No fucking allies here.

[04:42:55] We're losing the New York media guys, the independent stuff,

[04:42:58] sub stack enjoyers.

[04:43:06] Um, marching guests.

[04:43:08] What do you mean?

[04:43:11] But, let's see what Effie had to say.

[04:43:17] Everyone's asking me about my response to Mike Lawler running to his daddy Trump to

[04:43:25] complain about this progressive campaign here in New York's 17th district.

[04:43:30] And you know what?

[04:43:32] Mike Lawler should be worried.

[04:43:34] Donald Trump should be worried because what this campaign will do is put people first.

[04:43:41] That means health care we can afford after Lawler and Trump has taken it away from millions

[04:43:46] of people.

[04:43:47] That means housing that we can afford, something that they have done nothing about.

[04:43:51] That means bringing the price of gasoline down, which is out of control because of this senseless

[04:43:57] war that Trump started and Mike Lawler supports.

[04:44:01] So I guess they have a problem with progressives like me who want to see things happen for the

[04:44:08] American people and not senseless wars. If you want to see Mike Lawler lose, if you want

[04:44:15] to see Donald Trump's agenda end, we need you. We need you right now.

[04:44:22] It's so funny that Mike Lawler is so legitimately worried about the third place candidate right

[04:44:27] now. Like, let's be real about this. I like F. E. Phillips daily. You guys know this already.

[04:44:34] But it is kind of remarkable that New York 17, it's a, it's, it's a purple district.

[04:44:41] It's a, it's a flippable district, right?

[04:44:43] Like obviously Trump cares about it to a certain degree.

[04:44:45] He doesn't want to lose another Republican district in the, in the house of representatives.

[04:44:51] But like, there's a Democratic primary taking place and they're attacking Effie, who is

[04:45:00] in third place, right?

[04:45:03] Like New York 17 polling, there's a democratic primary that's supposed to take place and

[04:45:07] FES in third place right now.

[04:45:12] Now hopefully after this, that will change, right?

[04:45:18] And the reason why they are so adamant about attacking her early on and trying to remove

[04:45:24] her from the playing field is because I think the Republicans are aware that left populist

[04:45:32] sentiment is undefeated. It is genuinely impossible to go against if you are a Republican. The

[04:45:42] antidote to right-slopulism, endless posturing about migrants and transgender people and stuff

[04:45:50] like that, is left-wing economic populism, good policies.

[04:45:57] Centrist democracy, centrist Democrats do not have an answer for it. That's why they find

[04:46:01] themselves constantly conceding on these culture war issues, rather than put up a fight on

[04:46:07] the culture war issues and simultaneously shift people's priorities in these elections

[04:46:13] back to material changes that will benefit them. Okay? Obviously, Effie does want to

[04:46:22] do that. She is doing that. She's for Medicare for all. She's unbelievably critical of Israel,

[04:46:29] right? These are the type of policies that centrist Democrats, corporate Democrats are

[04:46:34] terrified of advancing because their donors don't like them. And that's the reason why you get these

[04:46:41] like shitty ass moderates usually in these districts, not because the voter base is demanding it,

[04:46:47] but as a matter of fact, you get those guys because that's a way to still control the

[04:46:52] the uniparty attitude. That's the way to control the uniparty principle on never giving voters

[04:46:59] what they deserve. Okay? And I think that's the reason why, even though she's, you know,

[04:47:08] she is an insurgent candidate that is chasing behind the corporate Democrats in front of

[04:47:16] However, Donald Trump has put the beat on her and Mike Lawler has tried to get her taken

[04:47:24] off the rolls.

[04:47:30] And Mike Lawler is so worried about Effie that he even went to daddy.

[04:47:36] He like ran over to daddy.

[04:47:38] He did this dual bill with Godheimer to condemn me alongside Candace Owens to get his name

[04:47:49] out there for all the donors that are paying attention, to get a little bit more national

[04:47:54] focus on his race from some big donors, right, because that's what this is, is a desperate

[04:47:59] plea for donors to be like, see, I'm here, please defend me, defend my seat.

[04:48:07] If you're a pro-Israel donor, Democrat and Republican doesn't matter, I'm your guy, right?

[04:48:13] Like, that's what he's signaling with that bill that he's doing with Josh Gottheimer

[04:48:16] and Josh Gottheimer is a piece of shit who is willing to give that to Mike Lawler.

[04:48:21] This is the backdoor dealing that's taking place here.

[04:48:25] One Democrat, one Republican in the House of Representatives, both pro-Israel.

[04:48:31] So their loyalty transcends beyond party lines at that point.

[04:48:38] So for that reason, because of how terrified these people are of potentially another insurgency

[04:48:51] in the primaries with a true leftist, true left populist candidate that's critical of

[04:48:57] Israel that is a pro-medicare for all because they don't want to lose that seat to someone

[04:49:04] who is outside of the confines of permissible politics in this country. They do nothing

[04:49:10] Democrat or a far-right Republican. They're pulling out all the stops.

[04:49:16] Please make a contribution today, this minute, to this campaign at FV4Congress.com. Your

[04:49:23] Your money will help us knock on doors, will help us make phone calls, will help us turn

[04:49:28] out voters to make sure that Mike Lawler doesn't go back to Congress to carry water for his

[04:49:35] daddy Donald Trump.

[04:49:40] The man holds literal contempt for his constituents.

[04:49:42] I've been to his town halls.

[04:49:43] He literally looks down on his constituents like he's our overseer.

[04:49:45] No, I know.

[04:49:46] I called him out for that shit, too.

[04:49:47] This is my district.

[04:49:48] Please help us get rid of Lawler.

[04:49:50] Thank you for bringing attention to his opposition.

[04:49:52] I know. I hate that son of a bitch.

[04:49:59] Are you able to perform well here?

[04:50:02] Hours of fun, guess the party, co-UK?

[04:50:06] What the fuck is this?

[04:50:22] the

[04:50:29] gaming

[04:50:31] absolutely not

[04:50:33] uh...

[04:50:34] there's also another uh... there's also the other attack against uh... me and

[04:50:39] shoy kachak a barney

[04:50:41] but uh... u k election coverage has started so let's get into it

[04:50:47] And here's a long ass video of all your haters if you want to save it, yeah, this is the,

[04:50:54] this is the uh, the, the Kilo video, right?

[04:50:56] I saw.

[04:50:57] I know that this is around the same time that Dan Sultman.

[04:51:04] Four hours long is crazy.

[04:51:07] Masam Bad, the Weasley Little Liar Awards.

[04:51:11] Four hours long.

[04:51:16] hours. God damn. Yeah, it's, um, I mean, I highly recommend you go watch it for sure.

[04:51:28] Go engage with it because, uh, the, um, the, the video itself is, is, uh, compilation of

[04:51:37] like all of the people who have basically used Hassan bad as a way to deflect attention

[04:51:45] away successfully, mind you, right? From their own personal shortcomings. Sometimes they're

[04:51:52] criminal cases like Rape Tone. They're their pedophilia allegations like Nxtaku or like

[04:51:59] their, you know, improper dealings with minors like Nxtaku. I don't even know what this one

[04:52:04] One is about Nicholas Dorio's dishonorable mentions to Dan Stalkman, I assume.

[04:52:25] Warning it's not PC.

[04:52:26] Yeah, I don't think this guy is like a huge fan of mine by any means.

[04:52:33] There is a pivot happening in the commentary sphere. I commented on it already where I

[04:52:39] think that they hit the fuck Hassan line so much that they used and abused the Hassan

[04:52:48] bad line so much to get away with whatever the fuck they were doing that eventually

[04:52:56] people had enough of it. Here, this is the intro video for it, but for the last

[04:53:03] substance this accounts for over a year now, the specter of darkness has been

[04:53:09] looming over the Hassan bad crowd. This Thursday, May 7th, Kilotons will finally

[04:53:15] descend upon them and dole out their reckoning.

[04:53:17] The darkness isn't some monster lurking under the bed or a ghost in the closet.

[04:53:22] It lives inside, waiting for the moment when you're too weak, too broken, too distracted

[04:53:28] to defend yourself.

[04:53:31] It doesn't need to scream or roar.

[04:53:34] It waits quietly, knowing that patience is its greatest weapon.

[04:53:42] Where are we going to the protest?

[04:53:50] It is later.

[04:53:52] It's not a protest, it's a rally.

[04:53:54] For the last five years I've said the YouTube apolitical commentary sphere has produced

[04:53:57] a metric ton of right-wing drama slop that centered me as the archvillain responsible

[04:54:00] for all things woke.

[04:54:02] It even led many of them to take a pro-Israel stance.

[04:54:04] Glad to see that environment shifting is what I said.

[04:54:11] It's funny because this video is cringing a lot of the ways that the haters are to you a sometimes got to fight fire with fire, buddy

[04:54:17] Listen, I'm not in a position to fucking deny aid. Okay

[04:54:23] No matter where it comes from at this point, I'm literally in the crosshairs

[04:54:28] I'm literally in the crosshairs engaging in it like a 15 front war here

[04:54:33] the biggest front my own fans new administration reform leading it now

[04:54:43] what that means is not necessarily reform having an absolute majority of

[04:54:47] the 42 but reform could well become tonight's the biggest party on in the

[04:54:52] council yeah I mean they are reform probably is gonna be the biggest party

[04:54:56] in the council definitely worth of the watch the Ethan part of the video on

[04:54:59] I'm going to assume sometime it clearly shows Ethan's obsessiveness and hypocrisy.

[04:55:10] Are you sure you have time to talk about the president's sub-tweeting you? I think I heard a microaggression.

[04:55:16] Oh yeah, you saw that. You saw Trump coming after one of the candidates that I'm aligned with.

[04:55:29] What was I going to watch? There was another thing I wanted to watch. Oh, Professor Chiang,

[04:55:38] my Professor Chiang. Professor Chiang, World War 3 has already begun. Let me explain.

[04:55:45] In 2024, you made three predictions that have come perfectly true, like Trump would start

[04:55:51] a war with Iran, and you've made a series of new predictions. Yes, I'll explain each

[04:55:55] prediction one by one. Okay, so first I predict that but we'll get a third term.

[04:55:59] But isn't this constitutionally illegal? It's not. The president now has

[04:56:03] emergency war powers and so he can actually delay the election. My second

[04:56:07] prediction is Iran is not a federal war and the United States will institute a

[04:56:10] national draft. Meaning that you're between 18 and 24 in America and your mail,

[04:56:14] you'll be unlikely put into the draft system and if it's passed a law that says

[04:56:18] it's on December, you'll be unlikely registered. Which means you're obliged to

[04:56:23] and fight. Exactly. Next, the world will move towards an AI civilian state. So if you do

[04:56:28] online, it's being recorded to figure out how to control you. And then listen to the most controversial

[04:56:33] prediction. This is pretty bad. And I'll explain why. And also, I will tell you why this work can only

[04:56:38] lead to World War III. Why there's a very strong possibility that the American Empire will collapse.

[04:56:43] And also, I'll show you what the Russians will do and how the current bankers are controlling you.

[04:56:48] I'm not going to imply anybody. That's what you think. So let's talk about that.

[04:56:55] This is super interesting to me. My team gave me this report to show me how many of you that

[04:56:58] watch this show subscribe and some of you have told us, according to this.

[04:57:11] And you've blown up across the internet because you've been able to demystify

[04:57:15] all of all of this craziness, but also because in 2024 you made three predictions that have come

[04:57:24] perfectly true. Some might say unfortunately. Unfortunately, yes. What were those three predictions?

[04:57:30] My first prediction was that Trump would win in November 2024. Second prediction is that

[04:57:38] he would start a war against Iran. And the third prediction is that the United States would lose

[04:57:44] this war, and then losing this war, this would radically reshape the geopolitical landscape.

[04:57:50] How did you learn that Trump would start a war with Iran?

[04:57:55] The simple answer is this. The United States have invaded Iran because it has no choice

[04:58:02] in the minority. If it were not to invade Iran, it would lose its empire. Its empire

[04:58:07] is based purely on US dollar, the Petro-dollar, which is a Ponzi scheme. If it did not invade

[04:58:15] Iran, then people would choose not to trade with it anymore. People would choose to not

[04:58:21] buy US Treasury.

[04:58:23] Why?

[04:58:24] For the longest time, this system worked fine. But then, in February 2022, Russia invaded

[04:58:34] Ukraine. Yeah. That was not the issue. The issue was the American response. The American response

[04:58:41] was to sanction Russia and remove Russia from the swift global payment system.

[04:58:48] It also ordered Europeans to freeze over $20 billion in Russian assets. And there's a problem.

[04:58:58] It's very basis for having the US dollar as the global reserve currency is that it would

[04:59:04] remain politically neutral.

[04:59:09] The Americans guaranteed seamless, politically neutral international exchange.

[04:59:17] So if this trend continues, right, if you don't do anything about Russia, Russia would

[04:59:23] take over Ukraine.

[04:59:25] Russia, dude, they've elevated the game. They've elevated the game. Professor John has elevated the motherfucking game. He's got a board now

[04:59:35] He's got a fucking board now

[04:59:39] Then what an alliance with China and

[04:59:43] Iran if you look at these two countries on the map Russia China in Iran

[04:59:48] This is the entire Asian continent.

[04:59:52] And then what they can do is this, they can say, okay, the United States is a bully.

[04:59:59] They force us to play by the rules.

[05:00:02] They are very angry if we don't play by the rules.

[05:00:05] So let's not play with the United States anymore.

[05:00:08] Let's just trade amongst ourselves.

[05:00:10] Listen, I didn't steal from him.

[05:00:12] He stole from me.

[05:00:13] He's wearing a suit.

[05:00:15] Okay?

[05:00:16] Okay, I don't have a whiteboard, but he has a suit now.

[05:00:21] Who's stealing from who?

[05:00:22] And then what they can do is, they can build a Eurasian railway system, connecting Russia,

[05:00:29] Iran, and China together.

[05:00:32] And then what this would do is negate American sea power, because it's American ships that

[05:00:39] patrol and protect the oceans.

[05:00:43] And then what happened is, the world, Europe, Middle East, Africa, India, East Asia would

[05:00:51] look at the trillion block and think to themselves, wow, these guys, the Russians, Iranians and

[05:00:57] Chinese, they use gold as their medium of exchange.

[05:01:02] Gold is valuable.

[05:01:03] The Americans, on the other hand, use US dollars as the medium of exchange, which is not valuable.

[05:01:09] So I might better off with the nerdy system, with this new brick system.

[05:01:12] What's bricks?

[05:01:13] It's an acronym that stands for Brazil, Russia, India, South Africa, China.

[05:01:18] So Amara in thinking, because Iran, Russia and China were colluding, it threatened U.S.

[05:01:21] dominance which is driven by the world using the dollar as the primary currency for trading.

[05:01:26] That's correct.

[05:01:27] So they felt they needed to invade because then they can control more of the Middle East?

[05:01:30] So by attacking Iran, something's happened.

[05:01:32] The first thing that happened is that China is now cut off from Middle East energy.

[05:01:39] China receives anywhere between 56% of its energy needs from the Middle East, not just

[05:01:44] Iran, but also Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

[05:01:46] Let's go say that China today is reliant on renewables, solar, wind, and that's true

[05:01:51] to a certain extent.

[05:01:52] But remember that China is an industrial powerhouse.

[05:01:54] So it needs energy from everywhere and everyone.

[05:01:57] So the fact that China is losing all this energy from the Middle East resents China with

[05:02:01] a long-term strategic vulnerability and that's the first thing that happened.

[05:02:05] The interviewer doesn't know what Brexit is. I mean he might but he's probably doing it

[05:02:08] so that Professor Jiang explains it.

[05:02:11] Second thing that happens is that Europe is in a lot of trouble. Because of Russia's invasion

[05:02:16] of Ukraine, Russian energy was sanctioned. And so Europe relied more on Middle East

[05:02:21] sports energies, especially Qatar. And now Europe has lost all of its oil. And then you

[05:02:26] have Japan and South Korea, these two powerful East Asia countries are also reliant on the

[05:02:31] Middle East force energy.

[05:02:32] So my question is, if you're not getting your energy from the Middle East, where can you

[05:02:36] get your energy from?

[05:02:37] And there's only two answers, either Russia or the United States.

[05:02:41] Russia is at war.

[05:02:42] And what's happening is the Ukrainian drones are attacking Russian oil refineries and export

[05:02:45] hubs.

[05:02:47] So the world in the short term has no choice but to look to America for energy needs.

[05:02:53] what did Trump do recently? He took over Venezuela, which has the world's greatest oil resource.

[05:02:59] He's spending in Canada, he's spending in Greenland, Mexico, Colombia. If Trump controls the entire

[05:03:05] Western hemisphere, the entire world has to bet Trump for energy and resources. And it saves

[05:03:11] both the US dollar as well as the American empire.

[05:03:14] So it's probably a prediction in 2024, I believe it was. You said that the US would lose this war.

[05:03:18] Right.

[05:03:19] Why did you predict that the US will lose this war? Because the American

[05:03:23] society does not have the political will, does not have the manufacturing capacity,

[05:03:28] does not have the risk tolerance to fight this war in Iran. Basically,

[05:03:32] America wants to fight this war as cheaply, as easily, and as quickly as possible, right? So Trump,

[05:03:38] it-

[05:03:38] He's so dumb. He's brilliant. I mean, he's not wrong about a lot of this stuff. He's right.

[05:03:43] America doesn't have the manufacturing base. The American population doesn't have the pain

[05:03:48] tolerance. So all of that stuff is correct.

[05:03:53] Trump really fought that.

[05:03:55] I'm just waiting for him to say something unhinged, you know,

[05:03:57] if I set my airplanes,

[05:03:58] because like, remember, this is nine minutes in. Okay, Professor

[05:04:02] John will cook for like 85% of the conversation. And then the

[05:04:09] last 15%, he will say something so spectacular, so utterly

[05:04:15] unhinged, that it causes you to question everything he said leading up to that moment, where you're like,

[05:04:21] how can these two thoughts be trapped in the same mind?

[05:04:26] Nothing he's saying is like incredibly complicated. I've said many things that are similar,

[05:04:33] except for the last 15%. To strike Iran and kill the Atolla, it's surrender.

[05:04:38] That's literally his plan going to this war, keeping no attention to the culture,

[05:04:43] He paid no attention to the history of the people,

[05:04:46] he had to know respect for the nation.

[05:04:48] And when you do that, when you disrespect your opponent,

[05:04:50] when you underestimate your opponent,

[05:04:51] when you yourself are not going to commit to the fight,

[05:04:53] you're going to lose.

[05:04:55] So is Iran's game just to draw this out as long as they possibly can?

[05:04:58] How they, you know, because he's taken up the leaders.

[05:05:00] And do you also think that Trump thought that just if I defund the leader,

[05:05:02] then everything will sort of regenerate itself and we'll be fine?

[05:05:05] What was the sort of fundamental misunderstanding?

[05:05:07] There's a lot of infusion as to how this war started.

[05:05:09] Even today, no one actually knows how this war started.

[05:05:12] But I think that Trump, given his personality, he was convinced that if he killed Alicia, all.

[05:05:20] What do you mean? We definitely know how this war started.

[05:05:25] The fuck?

[05:05:26] He ran. Then he had no choice but to surrender. And his proof of concept was, of course,

[05:05:31] on January 3rd of this year, federal force went into Venezuela,

[05:05:35] kidnapped Maduro, and it's going to be surrendered. So in Trump's mind, he went to replay

[05:05:39] this the Venezuela scenario and he didn't realize they ran his fundamentally different from Venezuela

[05:05:44] The short answer is he is a reality star. He thinks of different optics

[05:05:49] He doesn't think in terms of like your political strategy

[05:05:50] The long answer is that the American military has become very corrupt and insular institution

[05:05:56] That is trying to generate as much of a congressional funding as possible in order to fund the military industrial complex

[05:06:01] Did he think that he was gonna bone the ran if people would rise up?

[05:06:04] They would elect any government and that would be that and then he could control around that's exactly what he thought

[05:06:09] So what I do now is go to the map. All right, can I show you what he got wrong?

[05:06:13] Okay, right. So this is a map of the all he's cooking now now. He's cooking. He's got a map

[05:06:18] He's got a whiteboard an electronic whiteboard

[05:06:28] This dude did a hang out with the actual anti semis you can't be named on torch anymore

[05:06:32] He literally did

[05:06:34] a one-on-one conversation moderated by Sneeko with Dugan.

[05:06:43] It is one of the funniest things I've ever,

[05:06:45] like I never, I didn't even watch it,

[05:06:47] but just the fact that it exists out there is incredible.

[05:06:51] Okay?

[05:06:54] A goddamn English teacher for high schoolers in Beijing

[05:07:01] with a fucking YouTube channel

[05:07:03] was having a conversation with, you know, love him, hate him, and I'm not exactly a fan.

[05:07:10] One of the more consequential Russian thinkers of the 21st century, like the guy who is,

[05:07:19] is perhaps most responsible for the invasion of Ukraine.

[05:07:29] Vladimir Putin's personal philosopher, okay?

[05:07:36] The founder of the ACP Mr. Nazbol himself. Yeah, Dugan is really funny though. He will sometimes

[05:07:43] post the funniest dumb as shit.

[05:07:46] And the first thing to notice about this map is the topography.

[05:07:51] What does that mean? How many mountains you have? So this is what's really interesting.

[05:07:55] Okay, never mind. Maybe he doesn't actually know what bricks is because he just said what is topography mean is that the topography

[05:08:02] between Iraq and

[05:08:03] Iran are completely different and this is important is to 2003

[05:08:08] Americans invaded Iraq and they won the war in about two weeks

[05:08:12] And the reason why they won the war is Americans practice something called shock and all

[05:08:18] The idea for an all is that it is a military Shachi shock

[05:08:23] plus a. Oh, you cut off the head of the snake. The snake will die. The decabination is right.

[05:08:29] And so what they did was they went into bad guy, sees that guy, and the regime collapsed,

[05:08:37] and the war was over. And they were able to do this because of the topography. You look at the

[05:08:43] map of Iraq, it's all flat, it's all desert, meaning that he's flying it.

[05:08:48] uh-huh

[05:08:53] no they were able to do it because the iraqi government was already unbelievably corrupt

[05:09:03] and they straight up bribed half of the fucking military force half of the generals to stand down

[05:09:10] in the process of uh overtaking bagdad and and and doing aerial bombing campaigns

[05:09:16] And on top of that, they also invaded with boots on the ground as opposed to with Iran, the topography definitely plays a role here.

[05:09:26] But the government is clearly far more stable. Iran is a sovereign state that has maintained its sovereignty for a lot longer and in a lot more resilient manner than Iraq ever could.

[05:09:46] The American campaign against Iraq was also planned for approximately a decade prior to its completion.

[05:09:57] Famously, Dick Cheney released a memo in like 1994, if I recall correctly, talking about the

[05:10:08] necessity to invade Iraq and to privatize its nationalized oil refineries' oil and gas

[05:10:16] extraction business. It was state-owned enterprise. So there was already a lot of appetite for

[05:10:22] this. And not only that, there was also a much more competent military force that had

[05:10:30] planned out exactly how they would do it. They had a similar technique with the

[05:10:38] the sanctions with Iraq as well, just like with Iran, but they went in and they bribed

[05:10:44] a bunch of generals. They effectively neutered the military and made sure that they had no

[05:10:51] resistance whatsoever, but perhaps most importantly, perhaps most importantly, the Iranian government

[05:11:00] is actually competent as opposed to the iraqi government that was unbelievably

[05:11:04] corrupt

[05:11:05] and and uh...

[05:11:08] it was uh... it was very opportune for the american side to come in and just

[05:11:12] like destroy it

[05:11:13] your planes

[05:11:15] cut off a snake

[05:11:17] and the war is over

[05:11:18] there's no way you can defend against

[05:11:20] airstrikes

[05:11:21] because you're entirely

[05:11:23] a desert

[05:11:25] let's go to

[05:11:26] let's look at the topography of iran

[05:11:28] and Iran is all mountainous.

[05:11:30] In fact, you can make the argument that Iran is a fortress.

[05:11:36] And so, the first thing is that Iran can choose

[05:11:41] to fight a war battalion.

[05:11:43] What's a war battalion?

[05:11:44] A war battalion is a game of uncle.

[05:11:46] What's that?

[05:11:47] Right, a game of uncle is where we don't have enough power

[05:11:50] to destroy each other, but what we try to do is

[05:11:52] we try to break pain points, leverage points,

[05:11:55] to force you to.

[05:11:56] Bro, what are you? God, I can't tell if he's like making this like

[05:12:03] insanely simplified for the the people to understand what he's saying or if he's just like out of his mind

[05:12:10] Okay

[05:12:12] Iraq is 93 million people it's it's the side Iran. Sorry is 93 million people

[05:12:19] And by landmass it is 3.8 times the size of the country of Iraq

[05:12:25] And the topography actually does play a major role here. It also occupies the

[05:12:32] largest coastline of the fucking Persian Gulf. Okay, so on top of that for 47

[05:12:39] years they have worked with the North Koreans

[05:12:55] Professor John came after me.

[05:13:07] Professor John said no.

[05:13:15] I'm back.

[05:13:16] I'm back.

[05:13:17] I'm back.

[05:13:18] Professor Jung said, how dare you talk shit?

[05:13:32] Anyway, as I was saying, as I was saying,

[05:13:40] so if Ron also worked with the North Koreans

[05:13:43] to develop these incredibly sophisticated

[05:13:48] underground bunker systems, underground missile production facilities, underground silos,

[05:13:57] with the knowledge that Americans would inevitably come and try to blow them up.

[05:14:03] And they made these virtually impenetrable fortresses taking advantage of the mountainous regions,

[05:14:09] but also on top of that building deep underground. Okay.

[05:14:13] And that's precisely the reason why their missile stockpiles have not diminished in

[05:14:24] the way that the American side claimed they had.

[05:14:29] There is no other country with the exception of North Korea that can withstand an aerial

[05:14:36] campaign from the largest, most powerful air force on the planet, the United States of

[05:14:42] America's air force. There's no other country that can do this.

[05:14:46] Okay? Iraq certainly didn't have any of those facilities.

[05:14:51] Iran is in a unique predicament for that reason.

[05:14:54] Iran is uniquely positioned to deal with an American aerial bombardment campaign

[05:15:01] with the knowledge that America will never actually turn around and militarily invade Iran

[05:15:09] Because it's 93 million people and the force necessary, the true presence necessary, would

[05:15:19] require a draft.

[05:15:22] Submit to cry uncle, right?

[05:15:25] So because Iran is too large and it's not human people, it's impossible for the Americans

[05:15:31] to destroy Iran.

[05:15:32] So what you're trying to instead is bomb on a targets so that they recognize that resistance

[05:15:38] is futile and surrender. That's the extent of the strategy. But again, the problem with this

[05:15:42] is that, one, Iran is much too big. Number two is that it is a mountain fortress,

[05:15:48] which means that you hide your weapons and your military inside mountains,

[05:15:53] which allows you to conduct a good warfare strategy against your opponent.

[05:15:57] And this is exactly what Iran is doing right now, where the underground missile bases are

[05:16:00] hidden inside the mountains, and then they're able to strike targets throughout the Middle East,

[05:16:06] primary American bases, but also energy installations that are key to the American system.

[05:16:11] And so it's again uncle where the Americans are trying to create as much damage as possible

[05:16:15] in the radiation and the Iranian response is trying to destroy as

[05:16:21] Glorifying sorry, I don't know why the way coming as possible

[05:16:24] to force the world to pressure America to call the war off. So the situation we are facing right

[05:16:29] now. Second thing that's wrong is how vulnerable the global economies because

[05:16:33] is the radius control center called the Shrevelu Moogs.

[05:16:36] And as you can see on this map, the Shrevelu Moogs,

[05:16:39] it's a very, very narrow piece of land.

[05:16:43] It's about 33 kilometers across.

[05:16:45] You can actually swim across the Shrevelu Moogs.

[05:16:48] And what's important is that you can see exports,

[05:16:51] 20% of the world's energy, the Gulf Cooperative Council.

[05:16:56] So the Gulf Cooperative Council are certain nations

[05:16:59] in the Middle East that align politically.

[05:17:01] So they include Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman, Iran, Kuwait.

[05:17:06] They've been exporting energy, not just energy, but also a lot of bi-products of energy production,

[05:17:11] including fertilizer, to the world, primarily East Asia and India.

[05:17:16] In return, they've been getting food back.

[05:17:20] So most people don't appreciate this, but the GCC actually imports 89% of its food needs.

[05:17:25] The reason why is that it becomes so rich, it has few decades,

[05:17:28] that the populations have blown up.

[05:17:31] And as a result, they have to feed the population,

[05:17:34] but they don't have agricultural resources.

[05:17:36] They also don't have water resources.

[05:17:40] I don't know why my internet is getting ass beat right now.

[05:17:46] And so they have two major vulnerabilities,

[05:17:48] which is food and water.

[05:17:49] And they have a lot of desalination plants around the area.

[05:17:52] And so it's a desalination plant.

[05:17:54] So a desalination plant.

[05:17:56] Oh my God.

[05:17:57] the seas and then this guy is crazy he's asking every question I can't tell if

[05:18:02] this is like him being a good interviewer or if he's just like genuinely

[05:18:07] clueless I mean no disrespect I met the guy in clutter he seems like a nice guy

[05:18:11] but that's crazy he's like he's just like a like a like a baby I feel like it's

[05:18:19] That's got to be an interviewer technique, right?

[05:18:26] No, he just understands his audience.

[05:18:28] No, it's a part of the thing.

[05:18:30] Okay.

[05:18:31] Electrochemical process turns it into portable water that people can use for drinking purposes

[05:18:37] and for agricultural purposes.

[05:18:40] So as you can see, the entire area, it is extremely vulnerable to drone and missile

[05:18:44] attacks from Iran.

[05:18:45] So it's the same thing that Iran has done, which Trump did not expect.

[05:18:48] didn't expect that the Iranians would close off a trade all for moves.

[05:18:52] And how the Iranians were going to close off a trade for moves was just by threatening

[05:18:55] to attack any ships that wanted to cross it.

[05:18:58] The reason why is that these ships depend on maritime insurance in order to operate.

[05:19:02] When it is a risk, a very high risk of being destroyed, then you will not be getting insurance.

[05:19:07] So it's not that the Iranians have said to the ship you can't cross, it's just that

[05:19:10] the insurers refuse to allow these ships to cross because it's too dangerous.

[05:19:13] And Trump didn't, do you think they'd consider this before they started bombing Iran, that

[05:19:16] around would have some leverage in shutting down such a critical piece of water for shipping

[05:19:22] fertilizer, energy, etc.

[05:19:23] You think that they would have known this?

[05:19:24] Right.

[05:19:25] So that's what people say that Trump's stupid...

[05:19:27] Yes, they did know this for the record.

[05:19:29] They absolutely knew this.

[05:19:31] Anyone that tells you that the Trump administration had no idea is out of their dang minds, of

[05:19:35] course they knew about it.

[05:19:37] That Trump is hotheaded, that he was misled by this release.

[05:19:41] And this could even support this.

[05:19:42] But I want to show you something.

[05:19:44] call the national defense strategy, all right? And so this is a document that was published

[05:19:50] by the Department of War. And in it, it explains what the American strategy to maintain global

[05:19:56] dominance is. And in the introduction, what it says is that for too long, America has

[05:20:01] been bullied by the world. America is a nation that protects the world. Yet Europe is Asia.

[05:20:08] It's a vantage of American generosity. The Europeans don't pay for their defense. And

[05:20:13] So they put all this money into welfare, into a pension system.

[05:20:16] The Chinese have been giving America a bad trade deal.

[05:20:20] The Chinese steal American technology and then use it to make products that they sell back to the Americans.

[05:20:25] So the Americans have been getting a really bad deal for decades.

[05:20:29] And President Donald Trump is going to change that by doing four things.

[05:20:33] The National Defense Agency calls for a four point program to put America first.

[05:20:38] The first thing that Americans are going to do is going to secure the Western Hemisphere.

[05:20:44] Why?

[05:20:45] Because the Western Hemisphere belongs to the United States.

[05:20:47] When you say the Western Hemisphere, what do you mean?

[05:20:49] What?

[05:20:50] What region is that?

[05:20:51] Okay.

[05:20:52] Committers, while in...

[05:20:53] So we can divide the map into the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.

[05:20:55] Okay, so everything over here?

[05:20:57] Everything.

[05:20:58] Including Greenland, including Canada, including Mexico.

[05:21:00] Every part of this area belongs to the United States.

[05:21:03] Therefore, you cannot trade with any of these countries without American permission.

[05:21:08] paying a tribute to the Americans. And that is why the Americans have part one-third of

[05:21:14] the new assets in the Caribbean today.

[05:21:17] By the way, everything he's saying here is correct. I mean, it's incorrect as far as

[05:21:22] like the American posturing, but it is correct. I've read this document. That's where they

[05:21:28] also clearly spell out that they're going to do the Don Roe Doctrine, right, to dominate

[05:21:32] the Western Hemisphere. So that part is correct. What's incorrect about it is the American

[05:21:40] assessment that like, you know, China's stolen our IP to steal, to sell back shit to us and

[05:21:45] like Europe is able to spend endless money on their welfare state because we have their

[05:21:50] protection paid for. And yes, the guy who asked what's the Western Hemisphere is, I

[05:21:59] I can't tell if he's asking those questions because he sincerely doesn't know or if he's

[05:22:03] asking for his audience.

[05:22:05] I assume he's asking for his audience.

[05:22:06] The Chinese Russians, back off, you're gonna come here, you either pay a tribute or you'll

[05:22:11] be attacked.

[05:22:12] Okay, that's the first point of the strategy.

[05:22:15] Boys in the sphere belongs to America.

[05:22:17] It's something that they call the Dunn-Roll Doctrine.

[05:22:19] They would just call it corollary to the Monroe Doctrine.

[05:22:22] It says point one.

[05:22:24] Point two is that America wants to reimagine its relationship with its allies.

[05:22:29] Basically, NATO needs to pay for its own defense.

[05:22:33] NATO needs to go fight Russia in Ukraine.

[05:22:35] America will provide support, it will provide weapons and financing, but NATO needs to do

[05:22:40] more work.

[05:22:41] And in East Asia, South Korea and Japan need to do their job of keeping China in check.

[05:22:47] And that's point two.

[05:22:49] Point three is specific to China.

[05:22:51] The idea is, the United States does not want to destroy China.

[05:22:54] The United States does not want to humiliate China.

[05:22:56] But China needs to be put in its place.

[05:22:58] needs to respect the power and the reach of the United States. And how this is going to do this

[05:23:04] is by strangling China economically, right? So if you're only a political commentator in real

[05:23:11] life, what the fuck are you doing here? Just wondering, genuinely curious. Well,

[05:23:14] not of China. Most of its trade goes to some culture of Malacca.

[05:23:19] Wait, Chinese IP theft isn't really a thing or is it just overblown?

[05:23:21] Chinese IP theft is a handshake agreement. Here, do you think that since we started trading with

[05:23:34] China that all of these companies were not aware that China was just like recreating the same

[05:23:42] same technology with Chinese names.

[05:23:51] Do you think that they just caught them by surprise?

[05:23:55] No, they all knew, but they wanted to take advantage of the cheap labor.

[05:24:02] And that's it.

[05:24:04] It was always a handshake agreement that we ship our jobs to China and

[05:24:12] take advantage of the low cost labor force in China.

[05:24:18] And in exchange for that,

[05:24:21] you, China, get to recreate the same exact shit,

[05:24:26] a little bit cheaper, of course, and you can sell it.

[05:24:33] Now, of course, in 2026, this doesn't even happen any longer.

[05:24:42] Actually, roles have been reversed.

[05:24:50] Roles have been reversed where we are looking at Chinese tech and we are choosing to steal

[05:24:58] Chinese EV tech, for example, because China is now a leader in electric vehicle technology.

[05:25:04] China is the most important maritime trope point in the world.

[05:25:15] All America has to do is park naval carriers inside China and China will lose 90% of its

[05:25:20] energy exports.

[05:25:21] But if they park some of China, it will still get 3, right?

[05:25:23] No, because you have to go for the straight China.

[05:25:25] So, America is called the first iron chain.

[05:25:28] The first iron chain prevents China from reaching the Pacific Ocean.

[05:25:31] The fourth dimension includes South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Malaysia.

[05:25:35] That blocks China from reaching out into the Pacific.

[05:25:37] So in order for it to access trade, it has to go through the Sermalaka.

[05:25:41] And through the Sermalaka, it can access India, Africa, and the Middle East.

[05:25:47] And so by positioning naval carriers inside Sermalaka, it creates a blockade.

[05:25:52] And China would have to pay a toll in order to access the Sermalaka.

[05:25:56] And the fourth one?

[05:25:57] One is to, we, to innate, we invigorate America's defense manufacturing sector.

[05:26:04] So Supertrends US defense industrial base.

[05:26:06] That's exactly correct.

[05:26:07] Yes.

[05:26:08] All right.

[05:26:09] So what this means is that the Pentagon a few weeks ago went to Detroit and talked

[05:26:11] to Ford and Jermoterson said, you know what, because of this one around, we might need

[05:26:15] you to stop making cars and start making more emissions.

[05:26:17] How do you know this?

[05:26:18] How do you know they said that?

[05:26:19] It's the publisher.

[05:26:20] The publisher, yes.

[05:26:21] Really?

[05:26:22] Yes.

[05:26:23] So the United States went to Forbes and GM and said, we might need you to start making

[05:26:24] weapons with your factories.

[05:26:25] Yes.

[05:26:26] greater for weapons than for cars.

[05:26:28] This is a Pentagon, so you can charge them as much as you want,

[05:26:31] and they'll pay for it.

[05:26:31] Whereas in the cars, it's for the consumer market,

[05:26:33] and they may not buy your cars.

[05:26:34] So you're like four-hour motors.

[05:26:36] The best deal in the world is to go make weapons for the Pentagon

[05:26:40] to fight these wars in the East and clean the one for forever.

[05:26:43] So it's a situation where, OK, look,

[05:26:45] if you read the news, if you talk to a lot of people,

[05:26:47] Trump's an idiot.

[05:26:47] And this war in Iran makes no sense at all.

[05:26:50] But then if you just read the National Defense Strategy,

[05:26:53] that is on the Department of War website.

[05:26:54] And everything can go there and download for free,

[05:26:56] themselves, it's a very clear roadmap of what America needs to do in order to maintain

[05:27:01] and...

[05:27:02] No, he's still an idiot because if it still fails, just because you have a logical throughline

[05:27:11] between action and reaction and you have goals doesn't mean that it's a smart initiative.

[05:27:22] Yes, Donald Trump has a grand design for the way that he is, you know, posturing around

[05:27:30] the world.

[05:27:31] I talked about this with the trade war that he was trying to wage against China, right?

[05:27:36] The goal there was to decouple the rest of the trade partners from China by force.

[05:27:47] It didn't succeed.

[05:27:50] Just because you have a goal doesn't mean that you're going to succeed.

[05:27:54] It's like me saying I'm going to play in the fucking NBA at my old age at 34 years old.

[05:27:59] I'm going to play in the NBA.

[05:28:01] That's my goal.

[05:28:02] How am I going to achieve that by eating donuts?

[05:28:04] Okay.

[05:28:05] Throwing, throwing a couple, uh, shooting a couple basketballs three times a day and

[05:28:11] then eating donuts every day.

[05:28:12] Okay.

[05:28:13] I have a goal in mind.

[05:28:16] I set out on this adventure, but I didn't take the necessary steps, and I don't even

[05:28:23] have the solid fundamentals to be able to ever play in the fucking NBA.

[05:28:29] Just because you have a goal in mind doesn't mean that it's smart to implement.

[05:28:34] You see?

[05:28:35] You understand?

[05:28:36] You're a hegemony, and so let's summarize the major points.

[05:28:42] The first major point is to maintain control over the Western Hemisphere and create a fortress

[05:28:47] America.

[05:28:48] Which is why he invaded Venezuela and he says he's going to invade Cuba.

[05:28:51] Exactly.

[05:28:52] Look at all the countries that he's made over the past year.

[05:28:54] Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba, Colombia, Nicaragua, Honduras.

[05:28:59] It's all the Western Hemisphere, right, and they're all together.

[05:29:03] Second point is to create a divided war all around the world.

[05:29:06] So imagine a situation where in Europe, NATO fights Russia in Ukraine.

[05:29:11] East Asia, China, fight South Korea and Japan. In the Middle East, Iran fights the GCC allied with

[05:29:17] Israel. What does America do? America can now sell everyone weapons and resources and finance it.

[05:29:22] This will be back to World War II. But it makes them weaker as well, generally.

[05:29:26] That's the point. Yeah. Right? And then what happened is that $4,200 that America's in debt

[05:29:30] will disappear because it will be absorbed by the world. Right? So you can say, look,

[05:29:35] Trump's an idiot, but he actually looked at a map and how America wants this map,

[05:29:39] this war not to play out. It makes perfect sense. So the war is going well for Trump?

[05:29:44] The war is going well for Trump. Really? Yes. Are you saying you believe that he would lose the war?

[05:29:49] What's your definition of lose the war? Lose the war means that America would send ground troops.

[05:29:53] Iran would survive this ground invasion. And this would be so politically damaging that

[05:30:00] chaos breaks out in the United States. And the U.S. ground invasion is forced to retreat.

[05:30:04] and the United States is forced to retreat.

[05:30:07] That's not even okay.

[05:30:09] See this is where I, Professor Chiang, this is where you lose me, okay?

[05:30:17] What do you mean it's going well for Trump?

[05:30:19] It's going spectacularly poorly for Trump.

[05:30:22] It would have gone well for Trump if Donald Trump could have pulled off a Venezuela in

[05:30:27] Iran.

[05:30:28] That would have gone well for Trump.

[05:30:30] He would have already been in Beijing by this point in time, with two major fucking cards

[05:30:36] holding, two major cards, two major points of leverage that he's holding in his hands,

[05:30:42] control over the sugar hormones, where a lot of the Chinese energy supply transits from,

[05:30:47] and also a shutting off of China's entry point into the Latin American continent, South

[05:30:53] American continent, Venezuela.

[05:30:57] He would have been able to reduce China's allegiances, or at least have leverage over

[05:31:03] China's energy partners, with the exception of Russia.

[05:31:07] And at which point, then you just basically give the entirety of Ukraine to Russia, and

[05:31:12] then you fucking call it a day.

[05:31:15] Now you have developed sufficient leverage against the manufacturing base of the entire

[05:31:20] planet.

[05:31:21] So if they were to ever come back to you and say, hey, we're going to apply export

[05:31:25] controls on critical components that you need for defense production, for example, America

[05:31:33] could turn around and say, all right, well, we're shutting off your energy faucet. Good luck.

[05:31:39] Okay. It's almost like mutually assured destruction that way.

[05:31:46] But instead of nukes, you got nuclear options in trade. China's nuclear option in trade is

[05:31:53] It's export controls because China is a monopoly on the refinement and procurement of all rare

[05:32:06] earth minerals, some of which are necessary for defense to build those bombs and critical

[05:32:13] components that are necessary to even like you know put in microchips and shit like that

[05:32:22] which America has had leverage over China on as well with microchips

[05:32:27] semiconductors

[05:32:32] their rare earth export controls rare earth mineral export controls is a major

[05:32:37] point of leverage that China has over the United States of America it's one that China actually

[05:32:41] utilized in the last liberation day tariffs conversation.

[05:32:48] America needs something to counter that.

[05:32:52] And given the political control that it had over the GCC, it could at times leverage that

[05:33:02] relationship.

[05:33:03] But it's clear that China made tremendous gain in terms of developing longstanding relationships

[05:33:08] with the Gulf nation states and with the rest of OPEC plus that they no longer could do that.

[05:33:16] So for them, the best possible thing they could do is control the Shreya Hormuz and control Iran.

[05:33:26] Problem is, they failed. So no, the war is not going great for Trump. He's wrong.

[05:33:38] So you think the United States is going to get the current chiefs in, Iran are going

[05:33:40] to get a resist, and then chaos is going to break out in the United States?

[05:33:43] Yes.

[05:33:44] So let me explain to you why projects have to be set.

[05:33:47] So in phase one of this war, which started February 28th, it lasted for about six weeks.

[05:33:52] The intention was to decapitate the regime.

[05:33:54] And you do that by starting to run, and you do that by striking the military bases and

[05:33:58] installations throughout Iran.

[05:34:00] It's what Americans call shop and all.

[05:34:01] And the point is to force Iranians to call uncle.

[05:34:04] But that's how it happened.

[05:34:05] You get to give up.

[05:34:06] You get up basically.

[05:34:07] What Iranians did was they responded by attacking US bases throughout the GCC.

[05:34:13] They closed off the strait of Qomuz and they rallied the people, okay?

[05:34:19] So rather than surrender, the Iranians basically doubled down.

[05:34:22] That's phase two of the war.

[05:34:24] Now we've gone to phase three of the war, where Trump has basically decided that the

[05:34:28] population does not work.

[05:34:29] And so what Trump's going to do is he's going to impose a legal blockade on Iran's legal

[05:34:35] blockade, right?

[05:34:37] So the question then is, if Trump understands that the competition does not work, then using

[05:34:41] game theory, what's game theory?

[05:34:43] Game theory is the belief that all the world is governed by rules and incentives.

[05:34:48] And once you understand the rules and incentives, you can predict how people behave.

[05:34:53] These people will always behave according to their best interests.

[05:34:57] So in geopolitics, the nation states are individual players.

[05:35:01] And each nation state is trying to use its resources and its advantages in order to pressure

[05:35:07] other nation states to obey it. Okay. So Trump recognizes that the Iranians are close off

[05:35:12] the sort of moves, but not only that, but the Iranians have also used the shuttle moves

[05:35:15] to finance the war, meaning that now they're forcing ships to pay a whole $2 million in

[05:35:20] order to cross it. And so there's a huge advantage for the Iranians. And so Trump has said, no,

[05:35:25] I'm going to blockade your blockade, negating Iran's advantage of the shuttle moves. So

[05:35:29] we think about it again, using game theory, I will discuss what the Americans will do

[05:35:33] in order to force Iranians to perpetuate.

[05:35:36] So I would say there's a three point strategy.

[05:35:39] The first strategy is economic stimulation.

[05:35:42] And you basically destroy the state's capacity

[05:35:44] to finance the war.

[05:35:45] And there are two ways that Iran is financing the war so far.

[05:35:47] The first is using oil exports.

[05:35:50] 9% of Iran's oil goes to China.

[05:35:53] And this is cargutting.

[05:35:55] And this little spot here is cargutting.

[05:35:57] And this is where Iran will export 9% of its oil overseas.

[05:36:00] That's the first mechanism.

[05:36:02] Second mechanism is a trend that moves, where the race now can trap holes.

[05:36:06] So what you have to do is you have to eliminate both of these finance mechanisms.

[05:36:11] You can close off both when they are locked in, okay?

[05:36:13] So that's strategy one.

[05:36:14] Strategy two is you need to create as much chaos within Iran as possible.

[05:36:22] You want to turn this fortress into a prison.

[05:36:24] And the way you do that is by storing up ethnic tensions in the country.

[05:36:28] So if you look at an ethnic map of Iran,

[05:36:31] What you discover is that the Persian people are primarily in this area, in the middle of

[05:36:36] the country.

[05:36:37] When you go to the borderlands, okay, the border areas, it's primarily at minorities.

[05:36:42] And there are two at the minorities in the country that have been problematic for the

[05:36:45] government.

[05:36:46] The first, problematic people are called bullocks here in southeast Iran by the Pakistani border.

[05:36:55] They have a history of incitancy against the government.

[05:36:59] people that have been problematic or the Kurds, or partly in the northwest of the country.

[05:37:06] So if you are the US government, if you are the military, your strategy is to establish

[05:37:11] four operating bases in these areas.

[05:37:14] A four operating base is a spare head of the military, where you insert round troops to

[05:37:19] hold an area in order to supply and in order to push further into the territory.

[05:37:24] So a full operating base would be the US putting troops into the Northwest in the Southeast

[05:37:30] and then using that as a way to move forward into Iran.

[05:37:32] No, you don't want to move forward into Iran because it's too large.

[05:37:35] You don't have enough forces to move into Iran.

[05:37:38] What you want to do is this.

[05:37:39] You want to stop a sport operating basis in these areas in order to arm and train ethnic

[05:37:44] insurgents that you can also finance as well.

[05:37:47] And you do this.

[05:37:48] you.

[05:37:53] These results are crazy reformers winning everything.

[05:37:56] Yeah.

[05:38:04] Go back to.

[05:38:06] When I was in Croatia.

[05:38:10] When.

[05:38:11] Gear Starmer 1 to see a real predictive history moment.

[05:38:21] This is unsurprising.

[05:38:35] But the promising thing is there's unbelievable gains here for the greens.

[05:38:41] Why did I know this was going to happen because game theory.

[05:39:11] No.

[05:39:21] No.

[05:39:31] You need to get a whiteboard?

[05:39:37] Yeah, maybe them people take me seriously.

[05:39:41] That's right.

[05:39:41] Let me do cannon fodder.

[05:39:42] You've got the force response and they're ready to know that.

[05:39:44] Right.

[05:39:44] So if they come in, yeah, we're, we're just lucky that there is an actual

[05:39:48] opposition party that people can lean into without the, without the rise of the

[05:39:55] greens, it would be even worse.

[05:39:58] You understand that, right?

[05:40:03] Without the rise of the greens, there would be no outlet was so ever.

[05:40:07] with the army in order to quell these rebellions. That's great, because now you need your air

[05:40:16] power to decimate the Iranian military. Your problem right now is the Iranian military

[05:40:20] is hiding inside mountains.

[05:40:22] Oh, here, like that.

[05:40:28] Keir Starmer is going to take this and is going to take this new labor, this

[05:40:36] new labor that's similar to Tony Blair labor

[05:40:42] and use it as a broad mandate for centrism.

[05:40:45] Do you understand?

[05:40:52] He's not going to do the good things that any other competent, any other competent labor

[05:41:00] leader who's like ideologically committed to ideologically committed to like some kind

[05:41:06] of genuine reform, genuine progressive cause, like actually bringing about equity.

[05:41:13] would be able to do. What did you feel when you walked in through the door for the first

[05:41:20] time? I suspect he's actually feeling a lot of relief. I mean I certainly felt, I know

[05:41:27] David Cameron felt in 2010, that we had delivered for all of our supporters. There's an enormous

[05:41:37] sense of and God we did it. I think all different had never really served waiting for colleges

[05:41:46] in the academic circles. Sure, how much better Cure Stammer? Watch this space. In the upcoming

[05:41:52] days everyone is going to talk about how much better Cure Stammer is than Jeremy Corbyn

[05:41:56] and that centrism won in the UK. And it's the solution is to antidote the far right

[05:42:02] politics of the Tories. Okay. What's happened? I think actually within the manifesto, you look at

[05:42:08] the promise on growth, you're going to have to deliver on those, you're looking at the promise

[05:42:11] on the environment, you're going to have to deliver on those. I think that there's something I think

[05:42:15] about the laws and the law is an abomination because of the Oplist trust putting in about four

[05:42:25] Is it safe to travel with COVID and the Honto virus going around? The Honto seems pretty scary.

[05:42:30] Dude, am I crazier? Isn't that just like something in a cruise ship?

[05:42:45] But isn't it literally trapped in a cruise ship currently because of mouse poop?

[05:42:52] No.

[05:42:57] It's in the USA now.

[05:43:00] One shot if you catch it, yeah, I heard.

[05:43:14] Nope, a couple of people left the cruise before it was caught and they were on flights.

[05:43:28] Well, the thing we got RFK junior in charge. Fuck it. We ball. How are you not up to date

[05:43:43] on this. So, from what I understand, it doesn't spread like COVID. It is a very different

[05:44:10] spread pattern. Um, it transmits through, um, it started, it starts from rat poop, right?

[05:44:22] Like it started off in this cruise ship because the rat shit, right? And I feel like it's

[05:44:29] very deadly. And when you get it, you have like a 50 50 survivor rate or something. I

[05:44:33] mean, I don't want to give you misinformation. I'm just talking off top delim. But because

[05:44:40] it's so deadly? The epidemiologists are saying that it's too deadly to be as to transmit as

[05:44:51] much as COVID does and also because it doesn't transmit in the same way. It's not, it's just

[05:44:57] so live a right

[05:45:07] her

[05:45:17] officials are racing to contain the deadly hunt of iris outbreak that has killed three people several states

[05:45:21] I can't believe that people still go on cruises. I just like I will never understand it

[05:45:29] It's including Arizona Georgia and California

[05:45:32] Monitoring cruise ship passengers for possible infections teams and protective gear

[05:45:37] Transporting three patients to emergency flights bound for Amsterdam

[05:45:40] This as contact tracing has started on anyone who may have been exposed to sick patients earlier in the trip who disembarked at different locations

[05:45:48] locations. One such traveler was removed from a KLM flight in Johannesburg a day before

[05:45:53] her death. KLM, saying due to the passengers' medical condition at the time, the crew decided

[05:45:58] not to allow the passenger to travel on the flight. 88 of those passengers from that flight

[05:46:04] now being tracked by the World Health Organization after possibly being exposed. And the WHO

[05:46:09] says a Swiss man who had returned home with his wife tested positive for hauntive virus

[05:46:13] on Wednesday. He remains hospitalized.

[05:46:16] There are now 11 suspected cases of hontavirus infection from that ship, five testing positive

[05:46:21] in a lab.

[05:46:23] Hontavirus is a respiratory infection with no treatment and can kill up to 40% of those

[05:46:28] infected.

[05:46:29] The World Health Organization says testing so far identified the rare Andy strain which

[05:46:34] can spread from person to person.

[05:46:36] That is the species that has been identified on the cruise ship.

[05:46:42] And so that's why they're starting to worry more and more about the potential for person

[05:46:47] to person spread on the cruise ship.

[05:46:50] Health officials now suspect the first victim to contract the virus picked it up in Argentina

[05:46:54] before getting on the ship.

[05:46:56] In mid-March, he visited a landfill during a bird watching tour, and officials suspect

[05:47:00] he contracted it from rodents.

[05:47:02] The captain announces his death weeks ago, telling those on board the man was not infectious

[05:47:07] before anyone knew it was haunt a virus.

[05:47:09] This is my side beauty.

[05:47:11] It's only through the one or five passing views.

[05:47:16] Sadly, past the way last night, I'm told by the doctor, not infections.

[05:47:21] So the ship is safe when it comes to this.

[05:47:24] Doc, this is literally why cruise ships are terrifying to me.

[05:47:28] I just don't understand why people entertain it.

[05:47:31] You're just stuck. You're just stuck on a fucking floating trash barge that has

[05:47:38] A litany of diseases in it.

[05:47:43] It doesn't make any fucking sense.

[05:47:47] You're scared of water? No, man. It's not that I'm scared of water.

[05:47:51] Like, I don't, I mean, sure.

[05:47:53] I'm afraid, not of the water, but I'm afraid of the ocean.

[05:47:57] But, like, I'll go out on the sea on a boat.

[05:48:02] I'm not afraid of boating.

[05:48:08] I'm not afraid of going on a fucking boat, I'm not afraid of swimming, I'm afraid of

[05:48:22] taking unnecessary risks, and I feel like the cruise, what you get out of it, is nowhere

[05:48:29] near worth the pain.

[05:48:33] The downsides are endless for incredibly limited upside, which is just a shittier version of

[05:48:40] going to a fucking all-inclusive resort.

[05:48:44] It's objectively a shittier version.

[05:48:45] It's just, it's on the sea and you can like maybe get a day off at port.

[05:48:57] Austin show boob at take.

[05:48:59] Bitch, we're talking about a deadly virus.

[05:49:01] You supposed to be a hypochondriac?

[05:49:04] Fuck you mean boo bad take

[05:49:08] What kind of hypochondriac are you Austin?

[05:49:16] Wrong worst take I'm not going on this cruise. Oh, but you'll go on it the next one. Okay

[05:49:25] Good luck man

[05:49:27] You're saying all crews are bad based on one cruise.

[05:49:32] No, I'm saying that even in the best possible scenario on a cruise, you're still, you're

[05:49:39] still trapped on a ship with a fuck ton of people and a fuck ton of disease.

[05:49:55] What about an airplane?

[05:49:56] I mean, in the airplane, you have a much, much more limited contact for a much shorter period

[05:50:03] of time.

[05:50:04] I think air travel is also dangerous in a similar vein.

[05:50:08] Don't get me wrong.

[05:50:12] But when you're on a boat, when you're on a fucking cruise, you're floating around with

[05:50:17] the far larger group of people for sometimes a week in a closed environment.

[05:50:29] I feel like there's an infinitely higher likelihood of contracting some kind of disease, not just

[05:50:33] hantavirus.

[05:50:34] I just mean like in general.

[05:50:41] The cruises I go on don't go to landfills usually, oh my God, this is literally, you

[05:50:45] know what this is. Yeah, also, I'm not even making a comparison between air travel and

[05:50:49] cruises. Cruises are unbelievably unnecessary. Air travel is still necessary for not only

[05:50:54] delivery, but just travel in general. But this is straight up. This is literally Republican

[05:51:01] thinking. Okay. This is Republican mentality. Well, the cruise I'll go doesn't go near a

[05:51:07] landfill our cruises BDS I don't know I'm just saying I think cruises are

[05:51:16] gross and it's not worth it

[05:51:30] airplanes of good air filters and HVAC plus on a cruise tons of people eat

[05:51:33] close together, going pools, limited hand washing, et cetera, et cetera.

[05:51:37] You're also in a closed environment with a fuck ton more people for a much longer

[05:51:44] period of time.

[05:51:48] That man likely spread it to his wife, who also died.

[05:51:51] Rui Chenet was a passenger on the ship and says the cruise continued as normal.

[05:51:56] Since we were not informed of any contagious disease, everyone was relaxed.

[05:52:03] medical teams are monitoring the nearly 150 people still on board, including 17 Americans

[05:52:10] as they make their way to the Canary Islands in Spain. The state department telling ABC

[05:52:14] news, the Trump administration has no higher priority than the safety and security of Americans

[05:52:20] and they are ready to assist any affected Americans. Oh, great. Also, that's the other

[05:52:24] side of the story. RFK juniors on the job, baby. Health officials around the world are

[05:52:30] racing to contain a deadly outbreak of Hentavirus that's linked to this cruise ship in the Atlantic.

[05:52:35] The Dutch airline KLM says one of the ship's passengers, who later died after contracting

[05:52:40] the virus, boarded a flight in South Africa before the plane's crew decided she was too

[05:52:45] sick to travel.

[05:52:47] The Georgia Department of Public Health says two people who returned home to the state after

[05:52:51] getting off the ship are being monitored right now, and one Arizona resident who was also

[05:52:55] on board is also being-

[05:52:56] Bro, you know her ass wasn't wearing a mask either, like, just sick and traveling, no mask whatsoever.

[05:53:03] Watched by officials there. And according to the New York Times, California residents were on the ship as well.

[05:53:09] CNN's Randy Kay looks now at how this virus may have spread.

[05:53:15] This was an expedition boat, and many of the people on board were doing birdwatching.

[05:53:19] It turns out a birdwatching tour may be the source of this hunt of virus outbreak.

[05:53:24] According to the Associated Press, two Argentine officials investigating how this started said

[05:53:30] their government is leaning toward the idea that a Dutch couple contracted the virus while

[05:53:35] birdwatching in the city of Ussuaya, Argentina, before boarding the ship.

[05:53:40] The AP reports the couple visited a landfill during the tour and may have been exposed

[05:53:44] to infected rodents.

[05:53:46] 70-year-old Dutch man was the first to die on the ship days after they left port in Argentina

[05:53:52] His 69 year old wife died about two weeks later

[05:53:55] The rest of the people on board including nearly 150 passengers are now on a three to four day journey from Cape Verde to 10

[05:54:03] Bro stop the cruise

[05:54:05] What are we doing? What do you mean? They're on a trip. They should stop and

[05:54:11] Wait it out. Okay. You just drop ship

[05:54:14] Like, what do you mean you just keep going on the cruise?

[05:54:20] What are we talking about?

[05:54:22] I feel like I'm not going to say sink the ship, right?

[05:54:27] But just, you know, put it near a port somewhere, keep a watchful eye on the cruise, and, you

[05:54:38] know, drop ship medical personnel every now and then with the necessary gear, and they

[05:54:44] They just do the treatments on the ship or maybe poured it up next to a goddamn medical

[05:54:50] ship and transfer some of the patients by necessity.

[05:54:54] So, fuck do you mean we got a floating Petri dish in Cape Verde that's on his way to different

[05:55:03] hot spots?

[05:55:06] I feel like this is, is it this, at that point, it's a bio weapon, you know?

[05:55:12] Am I crazy?

[05:55:13] That is what they're doing at the port. Okay.

[05:55:17] The reef in the Canary Islands. Spain has agreed to receive the ship there.

[05:55:21] Upon arrival, the plan is for all passengers to be taken to a nearby airport

[05:55:26] and sent back to their home countries. No!

[05:55:29] No! Why are you... No! No, no, no, no, no!

[05:55:34] No! Keep them away for now! What? What do you... What?

[05:55:39] Yes, you are. That's against who regulations. Who is what I say to the World Health Organization?

[05:55:48] Am I crazy? Shouldn't people get like properly vetted, properly treated before they're just

[05:55:55] travel internationally all around the world with what I suspect is an unbelievably deadly disease?

[05:56:04] What the fuck?

[05:56:24] 30 massive red bubbles are about to appear in the atmosphere.

[05:56:28] Send them back on planes is not who regulations, by the way.

[05:56:31] Yeah, I assume the regulation here is to quarantine these people, right?

[05:56:41] Yeah, we're not 100% sure how deadly this is. We just know that it says pretty fucking deadly.

[05:56:47] We don't know the genetic sequencing samples of the Hantavares strain and the outbreak suggested

[05:56:51] the virus is nearly identical to the version seen in Argentina is not mutated in ways that would

[05:56:54] make it a greater threat. According to Tulio de Oliveira, director of the Center of Epidemic

[05:57:00] and response innovation is still embossed University in South Africa.

[05:57:09] Bro, if we can fucking blockade the straight of hormones, we can blockade

[05:57:13] this one specific cruise ship.

[05:57:15] Okay.

[05:57:16] Just coordinated out quarantine these motherfuckers.

[05:57:19] What are we doing?

[05:57:30] Sometimes I feel like they're just they're just playing around, you know, the global the global leadership is just like

[05:57:37] Yeah

[05:57:38] Fuck it. Let's ball. Let's make things

[05:57:42] Fuck it. Roll the dice. Let's make things interesting. Okay

[05:57:46] Shit, we just came over we just we just went over this a couple years ago. Why not again, you know

[05:57:53] Maybe we can blame China for this one too

[05:58:00] Fuck it, we bald.

[05:58:13] The 14 Spanish citizens will be examined and go directly into quarantine at a Madrid hospital.

[05:58:22] This is the country of Cape Verde in front of us, but it is forbidden to go down to it.

[05:58:25] travel vlogger on board posted on social media about the predicament they now find themselves in.

[05:58:34] Today was supposed to be the last day of our 35-day trip on the Atlantic,

[05:58:37] but it is clear that our journey... 35 days bro!

[05:58:43] 35 days? What are you Christopher Columbus? What the fuck are you doing on a ship for 35 days?

[05:58:49] What the fuck are you doing on a ship for 35 motherfucking days, bro?

[05:58:57] This is what I mean people that do cruises

[05:59:01] We live we're entirely separate organisms

[05:59:04] I feel like I have

[05:59:06] Something in my brain that you guys don't or vice versa where you have something in your brain and I don't

[05:59:12] Okay, where I hear the idea of being out in sea for 35 days

[05:59:19] with a bunch of random motherfuckers, okay, and I think to myself, just kill me now.

[05:59:27] Okay, just kill me ahead of time. Fuck it. I don't want to contract a rare deadly disease

[05:59:33] and then go kill my loved ones in the process. Just kill me right now. Just shoot me in the fucking head.

[05:59:39] So fuck, do you mean you went on a cruise ship knowing that it was 35 days, did you get duped

[05:59:43] into it? Did you think it was going to be three days, maybe five? And it turns out it

[05:59:49] was 35? How does that happen?

[05:59:53] We will not end here because Cape Verde refused to receive us on its coast.

[05:59:59] Earlier today, this medical evacuation boat removed three sick people from the ship. On

[06:00:04] their way to the Netherlands, a source from Spain's health ministry told CNN that Morocco

[06:00:09] refused to let the plane carrying two of the evacuees land to refuel. Instead, it made

[06:00:15] an unscheduled landing at Gran Canaria Airport to do so.

[06:00:19] People are usually infected through contact with infected rodents or their urine, their

[06:00:23] droppings or their saliva. Human to human transmission is uncommon.

[06:00:28] Yet in this case, the World Health Organization believes the virus may have been transmitted

[06:00:32] person to person on board. And just today, following lab tests, confirmed this is the

[06:00:38] Andy's strain of the virus, which has spread among close contacts before.

[06:00:43] We're also working with authorities for anyone that has left the ship.

[06:00:46] In fact, the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health has confirmed that a passenger who

[06:00:51] traveled on the first leg of the voyage and disembarked at St Helena on April 24th

[06:00:56] has now tested positive for Hunter virus. That passenger, according to the cruise company,

[06:01:02] is being treated at a hospital in Zurich. His wife, who was with him,

[06:01:06] has not shown symptoms, but is self-isolating as a precaution.

[06:01:10] Randy Kay, CNN, New York.

[06:01:14] And today a German woman who may have been exposed to the virus on board that ship was picked up

[06:01:19] by a convoy of emergency vehicles after being flown to Amsterdam.

[06:01:23] Doctors say the woman is in stable condition, but remains quarantined.

[06:01:26] For more on what life is like for the 150 people still on board the infected ship,

[06:01:31] I want to bring in CNN's Melissa Bell.

[06:01:33] Wow, I mean personally, this would be my worst nightmare to be on this ship

[06:01:38] Knowing what's going on with this virus that can incubate for up to eight weeks, right Melissa?

[06:01:44] That's right with all the confused so this rat shit just cooks in you for eight weeks. Oh my lord. Oh

[06:01:52] My lord, holy moly this shit sucks. Oh, what a nightmare

[06:01:57] What a fucking nightmare, dude

[06:02:01] What the hell is this?

[06:02:03] What is happening?

[06:02:10] Netflix documentary incoming bitch what do you mean?

[06:02:19] What is happening?

[06:02:24] Netflix documentary incoming bitch, what do you mean I?

[06:02:40] Will never understand it. I you will never really convince me

[06:02:45] They released a picture of the passenger disembarked and flew to California. It was really funny man. Oh

[06:02:51] We got a funny guy in here

[06:02:53] doing funny business.

[06:02:57] An uncertainty that has gone on on the ship itself you know we've not seen the

[06:03:03] video of the initial captain's announcement that was made the day

[06:03:07] after that first patient the Dutchman died explaining that he died and that

[06:03:13] they believed that it was kernatural causes and so on and it was late only

[06:03:16] later much later that it was understood that this virus had been at play the

[06:03:20] company. It's bizarre. Hantavirus almost never jumps from human to human like this.

[06:03:24] Usually he's coming from into contact with rat feces or something, cruise ship

[06:03:27] chef. Yeah, that's crazy. It must have mutated or something.

[06:03:36] Hasantavirus? Okay, guys.

[06:03:50] In April 2026, a group of people boarded a cruise ship in Argentina.

[06:03:56] Five days later, one of the passengers started feeling ill, and five more days later, he

[06:04:01] wasn't alive anymore.

[06:04:02] No one knew what happened.

[06:04:03] When the ship arrives at St. Helena Island 13 days later on April 24th, his body was

[06:04:09] examined at the hospital.

[06:04:10] His wife, who accompanied his body, wasn't feeling well.

[06:04:13] The next day, she took a flight from St. Helena Island to Johannesburg, South Africa.

[06:04:18] When she lands, she collapses at the airport and then passes away.

[06:04:21] The cruise company hadn't confirmed that these deaths were related to a medical situation

[06:04:25] on board that boat.

[06:04:27] But the same day, when the wife passes away, another passenger on the boat becomes ill.

[06:04:31] He's evacuated to South Africa and admitted into the intensive care unit.

[06:04:36] Five days later, on May 2, another passenger on the ship has difficulty breathing before

[06:04:41] suddenly passing away.

[06:04:42] From the patient still alive in South Africa, doctors are able to confirm that he has Hantavirus.

[06:04:48] World Health Organization is contacted and they're able to identify seven total cases of

[06:04:52] hantavirus on board the ship and including the deceased. This is a family of viruses and it

[06:04:58] usually gets passed from animal to human, inhaling airborne particles and infected rodent droppings.

[06:05:04] But there's multiple hantaviruses and they're known to cause either cardiopulmonary collapse

[06:05:09] where the heart and the lungs fail together or they destroy the kidneys. The problem is

[06:05:14] There weren't any rodents on the ship, so where did this come from?

[06:05:18] There is one hantavirus known as the Andes virus.

[06:05:22] The 70th hantavirus within this rodent population for years and gets 15 to 20 million visitors

[06:05:26] every year and no one gets hantavirus is exceedingly rare for this type of spread.

[06:05:29] Once they're off the ship, not confined with infected people, the chances of it spreading

[06:05:33] drops dramatically. Most rodent populations have hantavirus. People are blowing this out of proportion.

[06:05:37] I mean, I feel like this is, the fear is that this might be mutated, right?

[06:05:57] Virus that's been known to transmit from human to human.

[06:06:01] It's the only known hantavirus to do this so far.

[06:06:04] far. And in 2018, there was a birthday party that became known as a spreader event for Andy's

[06:06:09] virus that ended with 34 people getting infected and 11 deaths. And this birthday party happened

[06:06:15] in Argentina, where people boarded this cruise ship. As of the time that I'm posting this,

[06:06:21] they're still confirming if it is actually Andy's virus. They're contact tracing the people who are

[06:06:25] on the flight with the wife who died after landing. The doctor on board the cruise ship who would be

[06:06:30] be seeing passengers with symptoms is also sick,

[06:06:33] suggesting that this could be Andy's virus

[06:06:36] because human-to-human contact.

[06:06:38] Now, on the flip side, it's not that hard

[06:06:40] to get sick sometimes on a cruise ship.

[06:06:42] This is the cardiopulmonary collapse version of the virus,

[06:06:45] so there's no known direct treatment

[06:06:47] other than to get a machine to oxygenate blood

[06:06:49] during the time that the lungs are shut down,

[06:06:51] which is usually just a couple days for this virus.

[06:06:54] So you have to identify it early.

[06:06:56] So those people who are on the ship now,

[06:06:58] now that folks are aware of this,

[06:06:59] You should be able to get treatment in time in case you have symptoms.

[06:07:04] This isn't new.

[06:07:05] This particular one doesn't happen that often.

[06:07:07] Last year, Betsy Arakawa, Gene Hackman's wife, passed away from a hantavirus found in

[06:07:12] New Mexico.

[06:07:13] And that's the state where we found hantavirus in the United States for the first time back

[06:07:16] in 1993.

[06:07:17] I wouldn't panic over this given the information that we have.

[06:07:21] Just make sure that you wash your hands often.

[06:07:23] Just why about the virus? I got a hentai virus when I was watching some anime, good one. Yeah,

[06:07:40] don't worry, MTG got us all covered. I assume it's ivermectin, right? She's saying, I actually

[06:07:45] texted her today and asked, well, can we treat hantavirus with? I'm so glad she posted it.

[06:07:50] Ivermectin also vitamin D and zinc those of us who refuse to lock down mask up and get

[06:07:56] Vax took the good old horse pace and develop natural immunity.

[06:08:05] Can someone like what?

[06:08:08] Who was the first motherfucker that said Ivermectin bro?

[06:08:12] We got to find that guy and study that person's brain.

[06:08:16] Because somewhere along the line someone was like, I got the perfect solution for this.

[06:08:23] It's called ivermectin.

[06:08:25] And now they're like, there is a new deadly virus going around.

[06:08:29] It is, it has a 50% mortality rate.

[06:08:33] It is totally different than coronavirus.

[06:08:37] But just like with coronavirus, you guessed it, ivermectin solves all of your problems.

[06:08:45] How do we, like where did the, I'm more interested in where the ivermectin cure originated from

[06:08:53] than even the COVID variant originated from, honestly.

[06:09:09] It's incredible how resilient this meta has been.

[06:09:16] It's incredible.

[06:09:17] People just straight up think Ivermectin is a one-stop shop cure all.

[06:09:23] It's an all-purpose cure.

[06:09:26] Yeah.

[06:09:27] Bray, CBD is also very effective at mitigating symptoms.

[06:09:35] Yeah, oh honey, let's make sure we visit the landfill

[06:09:43] Why did they go to an Argentinian landfill man, what the fuck

[06:09:50] What what is up with the land I mean, whatever

[06:09:58] I'm sorry, I'm not gonna watch a chat GPT wall of text on a Twitter. Okay

[06:10:03] Okay.

[06:10:04] I'm not going to have it.

[06:10:05] That runs the ship without a statement explaining that it wasn't known at the time.

[06:10:08] It took them some time to figure out that this was a virus and that everyone needed

[06:10:12] to quarantine.

[06:10:13] And of course, as we just heard, people then disembarked in St. Helena.

[06:10:17] There was another disembarkation in Ascension Islands.

[06:10:19] Three more people disembarked at Cab Verde because by then we knew the virus was going

[06:10:25] around and these were suspected or confirmed cases.

[06:10:28] For those still on board, what we understand is happening Pamela is that they're being

[06:10:32] Quarantined in their own rooms, they're staying inside their cabins, their food is being brought to them there, and all the precautions are being taken, so that there are no further infections or transmissions of this Andy strain of Hantavirus.

[06:10:47] You never get the uncontrollable urge to see how other countries dispose of their trash?

[06:10:53] No.

[06:10:54] Bro, you've never gone birdwatching near a landfill?

[06:10:59] No.

[06:11:00] Sometimes morbid curiosity makes you want to visit what can only be described as the

[06:11:04] worst place available in a fourth world country.

[06:11:15] Am I crazy?

[06:11:16] I just, I don't get it.

[06:11:17] I don't even, I think that's a controllable urge, okay?

[06:11:22] case in Tel Aviv. They just want to be involved in everything. Okay. Oh, oh, this is us too.

[06:11:40] Okay. Classic. Classic. Classic Israeli behavior. It's like, Oh, this is actually a indigenous

[06:11:50] Israeli virus too. Yeah, first you got hummus. Then you take

[06:11:55] falafel, couscous, everything. And now haunted virus to let

[06:12:00] the people have something. Okay. Oh, no, no, this was us to

[06:12:06] reinvented it. Yeah, just like, just like those little cherry

[06:12:14] tomatoes. We invented the hantavirus too.

[06:12:16] Chanta virus. That's why it's like Hamas, Hamas,

[06:12:23] Chanta virus, Hamas.

[06:12:27] What is this?

[06:12:46] The Israeli-Hanthivar's case is different strain from the cruise ship.

[06:12:48] It's unrelated.

[06:12:51] Now, at least, they have a port in sight, and this had been unclear for some time, really

[06:12:57] until yesterday.

[06:12:58] We didn't know what port would accept taking in this ship and dealing then with what will

[06:13:04] be a very complicated operation to get these 147 passengers off, or the crew members off

[06:13:10] as well, to quarantine them and to successfully take them to where they need to go.

[06:13:15] You showed a moment ago, that convoy in Germany.

[06:13:18] That is just one passenger suspected confirmed, but still one passenger getting from the ship

[06:13:25] to Amsterdam and onwards to a hospital to treat them.

[06:13:29] Imagine that multiplied by the number of people who are going to get off the ship.

[06:13:32] We've just been hearing from the World Health Organization and they say that beyond the

[06:13:36] five confirmed cases and the three people who sadly died, there has been no further identified

[06:13:42] transmission on board.

[06:13:43] So that is the good news.

[06:13:45] But again, this is a strain of the virus that has an incubation period of eight weeks, which

[06:13:50] substantially complicates things for anyone who's been in contact with either people who've

[06:13:56] left or for those who are still in the ship or will be in contact with them when they

[06:13:59] get off panel.

[06:14:00] Off the coast of West Africa, a cruise ship under quarantine.

[06:14:06] Three more passengers medically evacuated, all tied to a deadly outbreak of Hantavirus,

[06:14:11] A rare, typically rodent-born disease with no specific treatment or cure.

[06:14:17] The open decks of the MV Hondius deserted.

[06:14:21] Dining rooms empty.

[06:14:23] Passengers told to stay in their cabins.

[06:14:25] Hi, I'm Jake and I'm spending the next 35 days crossing that-

[06:14:29] Stop.

[06:14:30] Every time they say 35 days, I'm like, come on.

[06:14:34] Stop.

[06:14:35] Stop playing.

[06:14:36] Stop playing with me.

[06:14:37] Stop playing around, man.

[06:14:39] 35 days?

[06:14:41] five days what the fuck is wrong with people bro I can't get over it 35 days on a fucking

[06:14:48] Petri dish 35 days bro I thought since the invention of air travel mankind has lost the

[06:15:10] need unless they're transiting oil through the Shreddler Hormuz, okay, in an oil tanker

[06:15:17] or in one of those like massive ships to be out at sea like that.

[06:15:22] The only people that are resilient enough to be seafaring people are the Filipino people,

[06:15:28] okay, Pinoy Gang, the Swagapinos.

[06:15:31] No one other than Swagapinos can withstand being out in the ocean for 35 days, okay?

[06:15:40] That's it.

[06:15:45] And they got swag, which they have replaced the need of oxygen with.

[06:15:54] Pinoy gang.

[06:16:10] 35 fucking days on a on a goddamn cruise ship.

[06:16:15] Planet visiting some of the most remote islands in the world.

[06:16:18] This is how the journey began for Jake Rosemarine, a Boston photographer, one of around 150 people

[06:16:24] on board.

[06:16:25] People with families, with lives, with people waiting for us at home.

[06:16:31] Health officials are now retracing the ship's route, trying to figure out where and when

[06:16:36] passengers became infected.

[06:16:37] That's a devastating edit, by the way. They go from, oh, I can't wait for 35 days of fun and

[06:16:43] looking at the birds to that crying cut. That's crazy. CNN fucked him up with that one. I'm not

[06:16:50] going to lie. Like that's, that's a devastating edit by CNN. That's, that's diabolical. Okay.

[06:17:00] Someone on the CNN production side was thinking in the same way that I'm thinking when they were

[06:17:04] They were just like 35 days.

[06:17:06] That's a lot.

[06:17:08] Did it.

[06:17:09] Their 35-day expedition began from the edge of Antarctica,

[06:17:13] visiting some of the most remote islands

[06:17:16] in the South Atlantic.

[06:17:17] On those islands, there are birds.

[06:17:19] Some islands have a lot of rodents.

[06:17:21] Others don't.

[06:17:22] Antivirus is usually picked up by breathing in particles

[06:17:25] from rodentroppings or urine.

[06:17:27] Symptoms often start like the flu,

[06:17:29] but can quickly cause severe breathing problems, organ

[06:17:33] failure and death. The incubation period one to eight weeks.

[06:17:38] Lab tests have yet to confirm it. But investigators think this may be a rare

[06:17:43] South American strain that sometimes spreads not just from rodents, but

[06:17:48] between people among the really close contacts of husband and wife, people

[06:17:52] who've shared cabins, et cetera. This small boat medically evacuated a

[06:17:56] handful of infected passengers. Investigators say the outbreak began in

[06:18:00] Early April, the first victim, a Dutch passenger, died on board on April 11th.

[06:18:05] His wife died around two weeks later in a hospital in South Africa.

[06:18:08] A third passenger, a German national, died on board on May 2nd.

[06:18:11] A British passenger remains in intensive care.

[06:18:14] Everyone else stuck on board, undergoing medical checks.

[06:18:17] A situation Kent and Rebecca Frazier know all too well.

[06:18:21] You don't know how long you had to stay in the hostel.

[06:18:24] I met them back in 2020.

[06:18:26] They were quarantined on the Diamond Princess cruise ship off Japan.

[06:18:30] What's the hardest part?

[06:18:31] I'd say the unknown.

[06:18:33] Rebecca, one of the first Americans to test positive for COVID.

[06:18:37] There she is, she's standing in the window right now, Rebecca.

[06:18:40] Here we are, hi.

[06:18:41] She spent weeks in a Tokyo hospital. Kent was quarantined in their...

[06:18:45] Wait, did I misunderstand?

[06:18:49] Are they, were they on this ship too?

[06:18:52] Wait.

[06:18:53] ...on board, undergoing medical checks. A situation Kent and Rebecca Frazier know all too well.

[06:18:59] We don't know how long you had to stay in the hostel.

[06:19:02] I met them back in 2020. They were quarantined.

[06:19:05] Oh, no, they're just that he's just saying like he interviewed

[06:19:11] them back in 2020 because they have a similar experience.

[06:19:15] Bro, I thought literally that the same couple that was stuck on Diamond Princess is now

[06:19:21] stuck on a haunted virus cruise ship. I thought I thought they were they were like, well, let's roll

[06:19:27] the dice again. Okay, patient zero, it seems. The way he transitioned into that other couple,

[06:19:39] not so subtly implied that they might have been stuck on the Hanta virus cruise ship

[06:19:44] too. Right? But that's not the case. He's just no, they were. Wait. Shut the fuck up.

[06:19:57] I'm sorry.

[06:20:01] No, no, that's unbelievable.

[06:20:03] Infected passengers. Investigators say the outbreak began in early April. The first victim,

[06:20:07] a Dutch passenger, died on board April 11th. National died on board on May 2nd. A British

[06:20:13] passenger remains in intensive care. Everyone else stuck on board undergoing medical checks.

[06:20:18] A situation Kent and Rebecca Frazier know all too well.

[06:20:25] I met them back in 2020. They were quarantined on the Diamond Princess cruise ship off Japan.

[06:20:31] What's the hardest part? I'd say the unknown. Rebecca, one of the first Americans to test

[06:20:36] positive for COVID. There she is. She's standing in the window right now. Rebecca, here we are. Hi.

[06:20:42] She spent weeks in a Tokyo hospital. Kent was quarantined in their cabin.

[06:20:47] What would be your advice for passengers stuck on this ship right now?

[06:20:51] If you start thinking about what's happening around you, it is so difficult to stay away

[06:20:58] from a mindset where you're getting depressed. Yeah, bro, I'm telling you, yeah, no. These guys

[06:21:04] weren't on the new ship, okay? They didn't get double-dicked. They weren't patient zero twice.

[06:21:10] They were patient zero once. Okay. He just, he just slammed them into the back of the fucking

[06:21:17] piece to be like, see, I have a lot of experience with people who have been previously stuck in

[06:21:22] cruise ships during COVID. That's just what it is. I, that the way he, the way he transitioned

[06:21:28] into it made it seem like they had actually been stuck on this one too, which I would have said

[06:21:35] at that point is, you know, you got to, you got to put these people into an isolated facility

[06:21:40] and study them for science because, and not even awesome, like they get sick all the time.

[06:21:47] Shit. I mean, like study their brains for science as to understand how someone could

[06:21:53] be patient zero during COVID and then still choose to go on cruise ships after that. You know what I

[06:22:00] I mean, because that's truly that that would have been a remarkable feat.

[06:22:10] And just like really fearful what's going to happen. Um,

[06:22:14] you have to try to stay as upbeat as you can.

[06:22:17] They know how difficult staying upbeat can be for everyone on the envy,

[06:22:21] hauntiest, facing fear and uncertainty on a floating quarantine zone.

[06:22:27] Dr. Steven Kornfeld, he's on board the antivirus hit cruise ship and he has

[06:22:31] helped care for sick passengers. And Dr. I very much appreciate you. I don't want

[06:22:36] to say nothing but it kind of feels like he's he got it. Like not on some zombie

[06:22:42] bite shit but he kind of doesn't look too good.

[06:22:47] Like,

[06:22:51] look he's a doctor okay he's been treating a lot of patients on this ship

[06:22:55] probably. I'm just saying stop really? Bro, are you telling me sincerely that this doctor looks good?

[06:23:11] He looks like he's been treating patients with hantavirus for the past two weeks.

[06:23:16] That's what he looks like. Your time, of course, you're on that ship right now and you started

[06:23:20] out just as a passenger but you're a doctor so when they started you ended up helping

[06:23:27] bro if I'm a doctor maybe I'm a bad guy but let's say I'm on a fucking cruise ship and

[06:23:35] there's a deadly disease going around and everyone's like is there a doctor here I'd

[06:23:38] be like no is there I'd be like oh yeah echo I would echo it I'd be like yeah is there

[06:23:45] doctor is there all I sure wish there was a doctor around so they could do

[06:23:52] doctoring not me though I'm illiterate I don't even know how to read I forgot

[06:24:05] bad student organic chemistry the fuck is that or go never heard of it not a

[06:24:16] doctor a hippopotamus oath what do you mean like the animal not not me I I got

[06:24:25] a doctor in a racism that's what I did I got a doctorate in in racism dual

[06:24:33] major, PhD, Jihad. Yeah, that's right. Ask me about slurs. I got your slurs for days.

[06:24:45] I got your favorite slurs. I'll tell you slurs you haven't heard before. Treat people including

[06:24:53] the ship's doctor. How did that happen? It sort of happened gradually. I knew one of

[06:25:02] the passengers was getting ill. This is at the end of April. And I just reached out and

[06:25:08] asked if I could assist doc make sure he see this what I mean. He volunteered. That's

[06:25:16] crazy. Sir. Sir. There's a doctor on the ship already. Okay. I just that's crazy. He had

[06:25:30] I quit coverage, and I was told that the doctor was also sick, so over 12 to 24 hours it became

[06:25:38] clear that there were a number of people sick and that they were getting sicker, and it's sort of,

[06:25:43] I sort of fell into the role of becoming the ship doctor. I know you treated the ship's doctor and

[06:25:50] that he was, eventually, you were telling us actually evacuated off the ship, which

[06:25:55] left you caring for other patients as well. I mean, can you describe the sorts of symptoms

[06:25:59] that you've seen, doctor?

[06:26:02] Well, there are three patients that seem to be also, you know, this motherfuckers a bird

[06:26:09] watcher.

[06:26:10] Okay, look at this shirt.

[06:26:12] That's a bird watching ass shirt right there that's it's that's definitely a look.

[06:26:21] Okay.

[06:26:22] 100% that guy's a bird.

[06:26:24] I see that guy on the wild to be like, that's a birdwatcher.

[06:26:31] Get it all around the same time.

[06:26:33] One of them just very not specific symptoms, a lot of confusion

[06:26:39] and a lot of weakness and she.

[06:26:42] That's his landfill birdwatch.

[06:26:54] That's so stupid.

[06:27:01] Stop.

[06:27:04] Ultimately passed away relatively quickly.

[06:27:13] The two other gentlemen, quite a bit younger, including the doc, just had a lot of standard viral symptoms.

[06:27:20] symptoms, a lot of fever, fatigue, flushing, some GI issues, some shortness of breath.

[06:27:28] At the time, neither one of them looked critically ill, but the fear with Hantavirus is you can

[06:27:35] go from seriously ill to critically ill very quickly.

[06:27:39] You know, a woman yesterday who had survived Hantavirus was telling us exactly that, doctor.

[06:27:45] had sort of flu-like symptoms. Suddenly she, in her case it was a cough as her

[06:27:50] lungs filled and she ends up in a medically induced coma and lung life

[06:27:54] support. How concerned are you about the potential for things to escalate? And for

[06:28:01] those... Only the dead Dutch couple went to the landfill faced with rolling eyes

[06:28:06] emoji. Okay, but see that's the problem with cruise ships. Okay, there's hundreds

[06:28:13] of people on board, and if one of them gets the bright idea to go to a landfill disease,

[06:28:18] specifically landfill birds, then basically everybody went to the landfill, okay?

[06:28:25] That's just, that's how it works.

[06:28:27] Patients, even now that some of them have been evacuated.

[06:28:30] Well, when they're on the ship, I'm very concerned because the ability to treat somebody at

[06:28:38] that critical state here on this boat is non-existent.

[06:28:43] But now that they've been evacuated, they're in Denmark,

[06:28:46] I mean, they're getting magnificent care.

[06:28:49] Even if such an event happened, they would get supported.

[06:28:53] And I think what happens with Hantavirus,

[06:28:55] ultimate survivability is really dependent on your ability

[06:29:00] to get critical care at the right time.

[06:29:03] And on the boat, that would not be possible.

[06:29:05] but now that they're in, you know, home and standard hospitals,

[06:29:10] that's entirely possible.

[06:29:11] So my concern level for them now low,

[06:29:16] which is very relieving.

[06:29:18] It can only imagine, especially as you cared for them.

[06:29:20] And what is your feeling right now?

[06:29:23] I mean, you and everyone else on board,

[06:29:25] you're stuck there essentially quarantine.

[06:29:28] And I know you don't know when you'll necessarily

[06:29:30] be able to get off,

[06:29:31] but also with the long incubation period of this virus

[06:29:34] And even in your case, doctor, of course,

[06:29:37] just to be blunt, you were treating people who had it.

[06:29:40] How concerned are you about getting sick?

[06:29:48] Early on, we did.

[06:29:51] Do we have...

[06:29:54] He's getting worse, by the way.

[06:29:55] No.

[06:29:56] The doctor's getting worse, the camera's getting worse.

[06:29:59] Do we have like PTSD from COVID?

[06:30:03] Do we have COVID induced PTSD, you think chat a little bit?

[06:30:09] Cause you got a lot of people in the chat being like, oh,

[06:30:11] Trump said this kind of reminds me of, you know,

[06:30:17] kind of reminds me of COVID days. It's kind of like John Federman,

[06:30:21] COVID and John Federman, two very similar concepts. You know,

[06:30:24] you've been burned so hard by COVID that you're now like,

[06:30:29] this is COVID same with John Federman.

[06:30:32] You've been burned so hard by John Fetterman

[06:30:34] that you think like everyone could be John Fetterman.

[06:30:36] I could be John Fetterman.

[06:30:38] Sometimes I wake up in the morning cold sweat

[06:30:42] after a long night of dreaming.

[06:30:45] Dreaming that I was John Fetterman all along.

[06:30:49] Going around it, walking around in circles,

[06:30:51] walking into the traffic.

[06:30:53] I wake up from that drunkest stupor,

[06:30:56] realize I'm not John Fetterman, I say thank God.

[06:30:58] Don't have that.

[06:31:03] And that it was hard to virus until maybe May 3rd, May 2nd, May 3rd.

[06:31:09] But I started treating for people.

[06:31:11] First, just kind of have a feeling that this could be infectious.

[06:31:15] So from the beginning, I was trying to be careful with masks and gowns.

[06:31:20] And once we found out it was hard to virus in a second case happened,

[06:31:24] and making it seem likely there was an infectious form.

[06:31:28] I was able to find some aprons and some goggles.

[06:31:31] I did a lot of head washing and clothes washing.

[06:31:34] I think contravirus is hard to spread,

[06:31:37] even though on the ship it seemed to spread.

[06:31:41] And Dr. Gorn thought,

[06:31:42] do you and everyone else that's on the board right now,

[06:31:45] just given that you have no idea when you can get off

[06:31:48] and if you'll be allowed to,

[06:31:50] what is the mood

[06:31:52] And how long do you think you'll be on board this ship?

[06:31:59] Well, I mean, are you going to have a speech tonight?

[06:32:01] Sleepy. I'm so sleepy.

[06:32:03] Dude, I did not sleep a lot last night.

[06:32:05] I'm just going to down like some energy bevs.

[06:32:08] I'm going to slam them.

[06:32:11] Couple Bruce keys, couple energy bevs back to back.

[06:32:17] Hope that it helps.

[06:32:18] You know what I'm saying?

[06:32:19] Just fucking down in them shits.

[06:32:22] Boom, boom, boom, because I'm, I'm about to go up on that stage tonight at the rally and be John Fetter,

[06:32:31] John Fetterman, John Fetty Wap. I'm like, Hey, what's up? Hello.

[06:32:39] I'm going to give San Francisco Chronicles something to write about if you know what I mean. Okay.

[06:32:43] Okay.

[06:32:44] Being a different circumstance than the other passengers because I had a lot more contact

[06:32:56] than they did and we've been on this both for five weeks and the original patient episode

[06:33:04] was many, many weeks ago and the remainder of the patients, patients, passengers have

[06:33:10] really had no contact with any of the sick people recently.

[06:33:14] So in some ways, people on the boat

[06:33:16] have been in quarantine isolation for three, four weeks.

[06:33:21] So I'm feeling pretty good that most people

[06:33:24] will get off the boat relatively rapidly.

[06:33:27] We now have two, during the evacuation,

[06:33:30] we were able to get two WHO epidemiologists

[06:33:33] and two Danish ID doctors.

[06:33:36] So now there's a great team on board

[06:33:39] who is really going through every aspect of this infection, how it's,

[06:33:43] wait, they came in with, are the,

[06:33:47] are the doctors on board also birdwatchers?

[06:33:52] Do they bring in a specialty birdwatching doctor or they're like, Oh,

[06:33:56] thank God.

[06:33:59] You know, maybe we get a free birdwatching trip.

[06:34:01] and what it means for the passengers remaining both for their health and for their possible

[06:34:13] transmission down the road.

[06:34:14] So I'm feeling pretty good that most people will get off the boat relatively soon and

[06:34:20] hopefully I will get off soon also.

[06:34:22] Well, I mean, it's an incredible what you were able to do.

[06:34:26] And when that doctor got sick that you stepped in at that moment, when there was no one.

[06:34:30] He's a better man than me. He a better man to me. I

[06:34:35] Would have been like I've never heard of a doctor. I'm a I'm a

[06:34:40] Practicer of Christian medicine actually. I think we can pray the gay away and we can pray whatever this disease is

[06:34:47] I can't see it. I don't believe it. That's what I would forget

[06:34:52] You know a better man to me, I'd be like nope, I

[06:34:56] I don't got the proper protective gear. I'm done. I'm out. I'm staying the fuck in my room. Okay

[06:35:04] I'm just gonna keep jorking my peanuts. Okay. No more bird watching. I'm not even looking at birds

[06:35:11] Yeah, sorry. Oh, yeah, I'd be like, yeah, I'm not a doctor. I'm a chiropractor

[06:35:16] In this day and age they might be like, oh my god, that's even better than a fucking MD to be fair

[06:35:22] They'd be like, oh, do you have extra Ivermectin please sir?

[06:35:26] I would love to rub that horse dewormer paste on my on my pussy to fix my

[06:35:33] hontavirus.

[06:35:42] I have you there on on that boat. When you hear Dr. Cornfield talking about the

[06:35:47] situation on board, you know, when they realized it was infectious and his role

[06:35:52] obviously in helping the ship doctor treat patients and then helping them

[06:35:57] treating the ship doctor himself who then was evacuated. You know what do you

[06:36:00] take away from everything that you just heard? Well it's good to talk again

[06:36:06] unfortunately Aaron but a couple things I take away first. What's happening on

[06:36:10] the ship is quite severe. This is a serious virus and you hear it from the

[06:36:13] doctor and we're very fortunate he stepped up. There are a couple things that

[06:36:17] catch my attention in that last segment when he was speaking. I think it's great

[06:36:21] he's taking precautions like aprons and goggles and hand washing but there's evidence that

[06:36:26] hundabars the andy strain spreads is everyone on the ship balled yeah no this is real book

[06:36:35] Jenkins as district attorney san francisco is my solemn duty to safeguard the city for

[06:36:39] his people in posterity if a sumpiker enters san francisco city limits he will be immediately

[06:36:44] arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

[06:36:47] Yeah.

[06:36:51] It's crazy though, because that's a joke.

[06:36:55] Except yesterday, someone from San Francisco, the San Francisco Democratic Party, did genuinely

[06:37:02] do this sincerely.

[06:37:06] So while this is a joke, it turns out it's not that much of a joke.

[06:37:22] Humans are human through the air.

[06:37:24] In fact, our best prior knowledge about transmission of this virus shows that it can be transmitted

[06:37:30] Pretty effectively, with no direct.

[06:37:34] Voice mod. Voice changing is inactive for stream right now.

[06:37:40] What is this?

[06:37:42] Play AI text to speech sound bites on the stream.

[06:37:46] Rose got a Hassan AI voice in the sound.

[06:37:50] I love to chill in my three million dollar mansion.

[06:37:53] I

[06:37:56] Was kind of a

[06:37:58] On a I Hassan soundboard on this under his video player, man. That's so crazy

[06:38:06] That's so insane. Who is this?

[06:38:14] Is this just like a random guy that he was you had a schedule on this beast no schedule

[06:38:19] That's his buddy, he plays CS with all the time.

[06:38:32] Now I know that this is Northern Lion.

[06:38:35] I think he was looking at some weirdos twitch profile, flak, blag, or kory his friend, oh

[06:38:44] Why does he have a why does northern lines friend have a sound board a sound board of

[06:39:01] me saying things I say all the time like I love the chill in my $3 million mansion.

[06:39:09] You as a doctor on the cruise, obsessed with the gay guy on the hantavirus cruise, and tomorrow

[06:39:14] the sun will rise again.

[06:39:16] As I mentioned before, we are being well fed and taking care of dinner in the cabin, pumpkin

[06:39:21] risotto and Coke Zero.

[06:39:26] Like no offense, but there's hantavirons in that risotto, diva.

[06:39:33] It's such a vibe.

[06:39:45] Oh my god.

[06:39:53] That's crazy.

[06:39:56] You look like a 90s anime version of what people think a hot Turkish guy looks like.

[06:40:01] Check the passengers tick to our comments.

[06:40:08] I normally wouldn't make a video like this, but I feel like I need to say something.

[06:40:13] So I wrote a few things down.

[06:40:15] I am currently on board.

[06:40:17] I'm the hadiest.

[06:40:19] What is this?

[06:40:20] I'm sorry, but listen, Jake, I feel bad for y'all, but you better stay on that darn boat.

[06:40:25] Keep your head up and feet on board.

[06:40:27] You are home, Diva.

[06:40:28] That boat is your home.

[06:40:29] I know a guy.

[06:40:30] a guy. Oh my god, everyone is telling him that he needs to fucking

[06:40:37] what I want to acknowledge that your fear and feeling are validated by so many including the

[06:40:42] little Antarctica group chat that's incredibly disappointed by the misinformation about the

[06:40:47] ship cruise situations and trips like these take so much saving and planning and I emphasize

[06:40:51] empathize with the inexplicable Jackson position your experience and going from such a wonder

[06:40:54] and joy to such scary uncertainty please know that there are people who are seeking

[06:40:57] slash understand the facts

[06:41:00] Including how slow touchy the Wi-Fi is and are sharing your human experience from factual heartfelt place is wild you asking to doc

[06:41:06] Bro, come on. You're telling me you can't wait a few weeks on board stay on that boat, bro. Chacho. I

[06:41:16] Want to go home. This is your home. Oh

[06:41:20] My god the fact that people don't have empathy for people on the ship is so crazy and disgusting

[06:41:24] I'm sorry, but I'm not trying to be quarantined for two years again.

[06:41:38] The AITSS thing looks to be a sponsored thing. And of course, AI bros hate you.

[06:41:43] This is what it links to. Okay.

[06:41:48] It's not surprising.

[06:41:49] And what's happening right now is very real for all of us here.

[06:41:55] We're not just a story, we're not just headlines, we're people, people with families, with lives,

[06:42:05] with people waiting for us at home.

[06:42:10] There's a lot of uncertainty and that's the hardest part.

[06:42:16] All we want right now is to feel safe, to have clarity and to get home.

[06:42:23] So if you're seeing coverage about this, just remember that there are real people behind

[06:42:28] it and that this isn't something happening somewhere far away.

[06:42:33] It's happening to us right now.

[06:42:36] I'll share more when I can.

[06:42:38] No refund, by the way.

[06:42:39] I mean, they saw the birds.

[06:42:42] At least they're not charging him extra to stay, you know, a couple of weeks extra, you

[06:42:46] the

[06:42:58] Wait, there are people behind the virus?

[06:43:03] What do you mean?

[06:43:04] There are people, but yeah, these are the people behind the virus.

[06:43:07] They invented it.

[06:43:08] What does that even mean?

[06:43:11] I was joking.

[06:43:13] I was joking.

[06:43:24] But for now, I just ask for your kindness and understanding.

[06:43:29] Thank you.

[06:43:36] Yeah, I don't know, man. I don't think we should be fucking around with this stuff. Maybe I'm

[06:43:48] a little bit too careful. Okay. Maybe perhaps I'm a little bit too careful. But I don't think

[06:43:57] we should be fucking around with deadly diseases and such. Okay. You need to pack it up. Sorry

[06:44:03] for the rest of the world for a little bit, okay. Maybe we'll fly some birds near the fucking cabin

[06:44:10] so you can look outside of your window, but just...

[06:44:14] Am I rude for this? I don't know, quarantine, like definitely. What are we doing?

[06:44:24] I'm sure there's birds wherever you guys are, you know, there's definitely a lot of bird watching

[06:44:29] you can do from the deck. Just that's it. Take it all in. Like I feel bad, but also we can't

[06:44:51] be taking a risk, you know? Contact. So I would urge him and

[06:44:59] everyone on that ship and everyone treating these shut up

[06:45:01] about the fucking birds, man. Do you think I'm a birdwatcher?

[06:45:09] Do you think I'm the type of guy that would go on a 35 day

[06:45:13] cruise to look at birds? Do you think I'm the type of guy who

[06:45:16] would go anywhere near a fucking landfill in Argentina of all

[06:45:19] places. I'm the last guy. I'm the last guy in this predicament. Okay. And this is part

[06:45:29] of the reason why you never know. Patients are infected to pay attention to the things

[06:45:33] we've talked about all throughout COVID, good ventilation and good filtration. So let me

[06:45:39] just talk about something. The other side of this problem is that like we got RFK junior

[06:45:45] in charge, man. You know what I'm saying? We got motherfucking RFK Jr. in charge. Like,

[06:45:55] we can't risk this, okay? We can't risk this. It doesn't even have to be deadly. It can

[06:46:06] be a light breeze that's taking us out. It's taking, like, millions out. RFK will find

[06:46:11] a way to make this as deadly as possible. You understand me? Just saying. He's going

[06:46:21] to be like, use ivermectin and bleach for a virus, which is fake. It's made up. You

[06:46:31] should just take ivermectin anyway. We're fucked. We're fucked. We're fucked. No CDC.

[06:46:35] Because this is obviously the crucial question, right? This whole issue of whether it's

[06:46:41] droplet spread or airborne. This is a strain of a virus that I know people know about. You know,

[06:46:47] there was an outbreak before they were able, they contained it, they shut down an area in

[06:46:51] Argentina, they contained it. So what makes you, in what you're seeing, have this concern about

[06:46:59] airborne, which obviously is something that can affect where this goes from here significantly?

[06:47:04] Yeah, Aaron, I think there were early and obvious signs, even before we did the sequencing

[06:47:11] to determine what strain this is, remember there's the hunt of virus normally spread

[06:47:14] through rodent droppings, but there's a strain, the Andes strain, that has spread human to

[06:47:17] human.

[06:47:18] And there was evidence that was happening early on before we even knew it was the Andes

[06:47:21] strain because one person infected someone many weeks later, the ship doctor is sick.

[06:47:26] Prior investigations have shown pretty efficient spread without any direct contact.

[06:47:32] So we knew this was spread not just through,

[06:47:36] definitely through human to human, but also through the air.

[06:47:38] And that means we have to take these additional precautions.

[06:47:40] Once again, just like our many discussions during COVID,

[06:47:43] I hear a lot of great precautions being taken,

[06:47:45] a great investigations being done,

[06:47:48] but very little about what is happening with these ships

[06:47:51] systems in terms of the ventilation filtration,

[06:47:53] keeping people safe.

[06:47:55] And that hasn't fully been communicated.

[06:47:58] The acting CDC director put out a message today that says,

[06:48:02] This is not spread, it's only spread through direct contact.

[06:48:05] But the New England Journal of Medicine article

[06:48:06] about that prior outbreak is very clear

[06:48:08] that there are many instances where there is spread

[06:48:11] with no direct contact at all.

[06:48:13] Right, which is obviously crucial.

[06:48:15] Now you heard Dr. Kornfeld talking about

[06:48:17] how long everyone's been on board

[06:48:19] and what a quarantine might really mean

[06:48:21] in context of the long incubation period.

[06:48:23] And we have a question from one of our viewers.

[06:48:25] They asked, it said that it can take eight weeks

[06:48:28] to become symptomatic.

[06:48:29] The passengers shouldn't be allowed into the public until they're completely cleared.

[06:48:35] You know, what do you, is that a fair way to look at this?

[06:48:38] I mean, how long do you think people should be quarantined who are either on that ship

[06:48:44] or in contact with someone who was there?

[06:48:46] Yeah, I mean, this is the big challenge with this virus, the long incubation period.

[06:48:52] And now we have people scattered really around the globe that are being properly tracked,

[06:48:55] isolated, quarantined.

[06:48:56] And again, we can look at the past literature.

[06:48:59] That study was very in-depth about the prior outbreak,

[06:49:02] and they did get it under control.

[06:49:04] But what they did was they quarantined and isolated

[06:49:06] people for 40 days because of the long incubation period.

[06:49:09] So unfortunately, this is a key factor in us trying

[06:49:13] to figure out, how do we keep people safe?

[06:49:15] How do we prevent further spread?

[06:49:17] I mean, we're all tracking right now

[06:49:18] is that potential secondary spread.

[06:49:20] And then how do we minimize those who

[06:49:22] are infected from infecting others?

[06:49:24] Wow. Wow. Wow. Uh, no offense to guests I've had on the show.

[06:49:30] AOC did. Ilana Glazier's podcast for an hour.

[06:49:37] And of course there's a tremendous amount of talk around this.

[06:49:44] Okay. But before we do that, here's Donald Trump, the guy that you definitely

[06:49:48] want to hear from.

[06:49:49] I don't think anyone should be panicking or worried. Our CDC is confident one of the best in the world and our surgeon general who sells vitamins and RFK junior are probably the most well equipped to tidy this up. Don't be a panicking. Yeah, no, that's what I was thinking. I was thinking like deadly disease spreading. Thank God RFK junior is manning the ship.

[06:50:07] That's usually what I think. And I also think thank God Donald Trump is the president because it worked out really well last time.

[06:50:14] time. You know, 1 million plus dead Americans, unbelievable levels of vaccine hesitancy here

[06:50:23] in the United States of America. We basically rolled back the clock on other diseases that

[06:50:29] were damn near eradicated as a direct consequence of inoculation campaigns, perishing overnight

[06:50:37] Due to the

[06:50:40] Unstoppable vaccine hesitancy campaigns. So definitely a very cool time to have any deadly disease manifest

[06:50:50] Very cool

[06:50:56] You write Biden did a better job with COVID I mean

[06:51:00] Now I don't think any American president is well equipped to deal with COVID

[06:51:04] I think America as a country is not well-equipped to deal with COVID, but at least like you know, RFK junior will make it worse. We know that, right?

[06:51:13] Trump is already bringing in additional advisers. Don't worry. POTUS meant privately with the milk boys today

[06:51:28] Fake news

[06:51:34] You're going to be told everything that you already have.

[06:51:39] It's very much, we hope under control, there was the chip and I think we're going to make

[06:51:44] a full report about it tomorrow.

[06:51:46] We have a lot of people, a lot of great people studying it.

[06:51:49] It should be fine.

[06:51:50] We hope.

[06:51:51] I hope not.

[06:51:52] I hope not.

[06:51:53] We'll do the best we can.

[06:51:54] We'll get them at Americans.

[06:51:55] We'll get them all in the country.

[06:51:56] Any other questions?

[06:51:57] Mr. President.

[06:51:58] Mr. President.

[06:51:59] Oh, he said, I hope not.

[06:52:04] Well, I'm convinced things are good.

[06:52:07] Never better.

[06:52:09] He said, I hope not.

[06:52:13] He's asking construction workers about Iran.

[06:52:23] No.

[06:52:29] You crashed out

[06:52:46] So good

[06:52:59] You know, they're in and going up a little bit

[06:53:03] because they're not gonna have a sense of what's happening.

[06:53:05] And they're not.

[06:53:06] They're not gonna ruin you.

[06:53:07] These guys work so hard to make things beautiful.

[06:53:11] They're not gonna let a nuclear weapon ruin you.

[06:53:13] So, thank you.

[06:53:14] Thank you.

[06:53:15] Are you all coming up on the floor?

[06:53:18] How did that work out?

[06:53:19] Peace.

[06:53:20] They wanted super quality, right?

[06:53:22] So, they're doing the job, they're working hard.

[06:53:25] He's going to be fine He's a what a bitch that's crazy all right

[06:53:45] Mauricio is here we are going to get ready to move soon because she asked him why he's

[06:53:53] doing this instead of focusing on the gas prices? Oh, I asked the president, I asked

[06:54:04] the president why focus on these projects now amid the backdrop of the war and on his

[06:54:07] gas prices soar. He said the question was stupid and a disgrace to the country saying

[06:54:10] he's fixing the reflecting pool. Why focus on all these projects is gas prices soaring.

[06:54:17] Such a stupid question.

[06:54:18] Here against the backdrop of the war in Iran.

[06:54:21] Why focus on all these projects right now?

[06:54:23] We're still seeing that crisis.

[06:54:24] You know why?

[06:54:25] Because I want to keep our country beautiful and safe.

[06:54:27] Beautiful also.

[06:54:29] This place is a disgusting place.

[06:54:33] It was Washington Monument.

[06:54:35] Oh my god.

[06:54:36] What the fuck?

[06:54:38] Why does he hate the Washington Monument so much?

[06:54:42] This was disgusting.

[06:54:44] It was nasty.

[06:54:46] I hated it.

[06:55:16] beauty, cleanliness, safety, great people, not a filthy capital.

[06:55:21] What is this, that is such a stupid question to ask.

[06:55:29] We're fixing up the reflecting pond to the Lincoln Memorial,

[06:55:34] the Washington Monument.

[06:55:36] And you say, why are you fixing it up?

[06:55:39] Because you can understand dirt, maybe, better than I can,

[06:55:42] but I don't allow it.

[06:55:43] This is one of the worst reporters.

[06:55:45] Oh my god, why is he so mad that's like

[06:56:00] like that's a little weird note that like this is a little too aggro am i crazy

[06:56:04] What the fuck?

[06:56:34] It's not a joke. He has Alzheimer's. I believe it. I absolutely believe it. It was an off

[06:56:51] key presser.

[06:57:15] you predicting a reform win in 2024?

[06:57:24] That's my prediction.

[06:57:26] I hope I'm wrong.

[06:57:27] I really, really, really hope I'm wrong.

[06:57:30] But I'm telling you right now, it feels like we're at the precipice.

[06:57:36] If Keir Starmer continues with austerity, if Keir Starmer continues with privatization,

[06:57:42] Kearstarmer continues with conservative policies with a fucking red, with a red sticker on it.

[06:57:50] Okay. I'm telling you, I'm telling you, if he does that, we're talking reform UK, whatever

[06:57:59] the fuck it is, maybe reform takes over the conservative party entirely. Maybe it's just

[06:58:04] simply reform. You are looking, you're staring at the barrel of a goddamn gun. Okay. You are

[06:58:11] staring down fascist mobilization in the UK like you've never seen. If he continues this,

[06:58:19] now I, maybe he doesn't. Maybe he was lying this.

[06:58:22] Look, stop your predictions, Hasan.

[06:58:30] Entire time in his entire election campaign.

[06:58:33] Why? Why?

[06:58:36] Okay, he was just lying and he's secretly a committed Marxist Leninist and he's going

[06:58:44] to do unimaginable good. Okay, maybe, maybe that it's so over that David Lamme is refusing

[06:58:58] to believe the results. Labor's voters collapsed by 50% in Halton, mercy side. David Lamme

[06:59:03] just said live on BBC. He doesn't believe it, but it's just happened. Get 10 again, big dog.

[06:59:18] Yeah, I will. It would be incredibly hopeful. I just don't think that he would do that,

[06:59:24] especially considering what the party looks like now, what the labor party looks like now in

[06:59:28] Now in comparison to where it was under Jeremy Corbyn, what they did specifically to Corbyn,

[06:59:34] Corbynites, and anyone who's ostensibly a real leftist in the fucking labor party.

[06:59:42] You know, Starmes, a White House centrist is hilarious.

[06:59:46] Yeah, he just faked it.

[06:59:48] He faked being a centrist, and now you will see the real, the real red labor wave is actually

[06:59:55] read for communism. The spirit, the specter of communism is haunting the UK, okay?

[07:00:04] The sun broke out.

[07:00:10] Anyway, turns out that's precisely what's happened, okay? That was on July 5th, 2024,

[07:00:24] One day after, or right as the UK election results were coming in, and Labour, despite

[07:00:31] securing less total votes than Jeremy Corbyn did, had more seats, right?

[07:00:39] Labour had won, everyone was celebrating, I gave you my warning, I said, you look like

[07:00:45] you were on a cruise ship, no, I was in a hotel.

[07:00:51] I was in a hotel in Crocia trying to give you guys analysis in real time.

[07:00:59] Labor MPs thought these results would be terrible, none of them thought they would be anywhere

[07:01:02] near as bad as this.

[07:01:04] Yeah, I don't see how Starmer survives this for the record.

[07:01:08] I don't know.

[07:01:10] I don't know what they do going forward.

[07:01:14] But it's very clear that labor is not going to reform itself to go back to what it needed

[07:01:32] to be after they killed the Corbanistas.

[07:01:40] And I think this party with all of this history in the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, and conservatism

[07:01:51] is finally going to put an end to the Labour Party in the country.

[07:02:00] And of course, it's not exactly a wonderful moment in British politics because reform

[07:02:09] has sucked up everything from both the Tories and even some from the Labour too.

[07:02:16] I promise you these results would be exponentially worse if the Greens were not around.

[07:02:24] You've been digging into the figures a bit, crunching the numbers, especially when it comes to

[07:02:28] Holton. That's right. Now we've seen this. This is the results on seats that you can see.

[07:02:35] stay with me in san francisco for the weekend i'll treat you right

[07:02:39] thank you chatter but i will go back home

[07:02:44] labor down 15 uh reform up 16 but what we've got for the first time is this this is the actual

[07:02:51] number of votes rather than number of seats and again i wanted to see if there were chatters in

[07:02:56] here who were arguing with me like where are the chatters were arguing with me saying like you're

[07:03:03] you're wrong you don't understand the K-Politik.

[07:03:05] I am sorry.

[07:03:06] I have given this job my all and must change.

[07:03:10] My political opponents.

[07:03:12] And everyone was like, not me bitch.

[07:03:15] I

[07:03:31] Fuck reform they're actually Nazis pretending like they're the best thing for the future of this country and people are falling for it

[07:03:36] I genuinely don't even know I I

[07:03:40] Don't even understand how people can get so fucking do but then again, I'm an American

[07:03:45] and guess what? A bunch of dumb motherfuckers here voted for Donald Trump. And that is a similar

[07:03:55] system to the two power planks in the British structure, right? You got the Tories, and now

[07:04:05] a branch of that is a far more illiberal party reform, right? Whereas here in the United States

[07:04:12] of America, the conservative party became MAGA, right? It basically changed from within,

[07:04:20] instead of like an outside third party. The MAGA movement was able to turn the entire

[07:04:27] conservative movement, the entire Republican party, into this behemoth, this fascist behemoth.

[07:04:34] And the Labor Party is not dissimilar in many ways to the way that the Democratic Party operates, right?

[07:04:46] Exact same conciliatory tone, exact same inability to address economic problems that people are facing, exact same results.

[07:05:01] The funny thing is Rupert Lowe has started his new party Restore which is even further right

[07:05:10] than Reformia I know. The Elon Musk party. What is this? At the event, fanboying about

[07:05:21] seeing Donio Sullivan in IRL right now, chat help. Yeah, Donio Sullivan is in the building.

[07:05:27] He will be there at the event, yes.

[07:05:31] Yeah.

[07:05:51] Will you finish the Professor Chang video tomorrow?

[07:05:55] Maybe Donald Trump was asked after today strikes is the ceasefire with Iran still on

[07:06:13] Holy shit

[07:06:25] They agree small fuckers still talking about bombing around dude. Holy shit

[07:06:55] This is an ego.

[07:07:25] This isn't a negotiation, it's a hostage situation, plain and simple.

[07:07:28] A hostage situation for who?

[07:07:30] We're the hostage.

[07:07:31] The entire global economy is held hostage right now.

[07:07:37] Still crying 20 minutes ago, what is this?

[07:07:43] A Yale professor is actively sitting on a State Department advisory committee, user

[07:07:46] of free time to spew radical and fake, Democrat talking points, this is the same school to

[07:07:50] give us on Piker a platform to spew his violent anti-American garbage.

[07:07:53] Why does Rick Scott want to destroy Yale?

[07:07:57] So bad.

[07:07:58] Did he have like a bad experience when he visited or something?

[07:08:02] What the fuck's going on with this guy?

[07:08:04] He's out of his goddamn mind.

[07:08:08] It's so strange.

[07:08:18] I did door knocking for Shroi Kai yesterday and before we headed up people asked what

[07:08:20] to do if we encounter someone who didn't like you.

[07:08:22] That's crazy.

[07:08:23] honor doh so fuck was an obvious turning into Hassanabi off once again anyway we

[07:08:32] gotta head out right now hold on the party is already getting started it

[07:08:36] seems the chatters that were there was there a big counter protest

[07:08:53] only town is your hate on you. He needs to get in line hold on. I'm going to pee real

[07:09:05] quick.

[07:09:06] These things are incredibly clear, incredibly stark picture reform up 41% and let's just

[07:09:14] go straight to the other end because quite clearly this is the other big movement in

[07:09:18] this council, which is the Labour Party down 34 and a little bit of a drop off in in the

[07:09:23] the Tories and a little bit of upward movement for the Greens, but you can see, again, it's

[07:09:28] not just in seats, it's in vapes that you're getting this big switch across, which suggests

[07:09:34] very strongly that there are people now prepared to move all the way from a centre-left party,

[07:09:41] the Labour Party, over to Reform UK, which I think commonly would be seen as a party

[07:09:46] of the right of British politics. We've seemingly no compunction and in really significant

[07:09:53] numbers. So in this Cheshire seat, if this is replicated across the red wall, look, you're

[07:09:58] going to have people inside Labour saying, maybe Shabana removed the Home Secretary's

[07:10:01] got a point with her tough, her tough approach on immigration. That's immigration, pretty

[07:10:08] much the top issue for Reform UK. I'm sure Ayesha would agree with that. And I think

[07:10:14] that the debate inside the Labour Party, Jonathan, just got really tricky because we are in a

[07:10:20] situation where so many of Labour MPs felt, I think for the last six months or so, that

[07:10:27] the answer to Keir Starmer's woes was just to look after its left flank a little bit

[07:10:31] more.

[07:10:32] But results like the ones we've just seen suggest that there aren't easy answers, that

[07:10:37] the party is likely bleeding in two different directions at both ends.

[07:10:41] So one of the big consequences of this set of elections might have been to put Shabana

[07:10:47] of these reforms sort of into the into the dust car. I'm not sure with the early results

[07:10:53] that we're seeing that that's going to be entirely entirely possible.

[07:11:13] All right, chat.

[07:11:14] I'm gonna play the AOC video while I'm gone.

[07:11:17] We'll have in the future, but I just interviewed

[07:11:20] my dream guest, and that is Congresswoman

[07:11:23] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

[07:11:25] OMG, it's AOC.

[07:11:28] Wow!

[07:11:29] You know, you see AOC doing her thing,

[07:11:33] messaging so clearly in real time on social media

[07:11:37] and on, you know, going on shows and talking,

[07:11:40] but then to have the privilege of meeting her in person,

[07:11:44] it's the same person.

[07:11:45] This is very different,

[07:11:46] I mean, from many famous people you meet,

[07:11:48] but certainly not elected officials.

[07:11:54] AOC is the Democratic Congresswoman

[07:11:57] for New York's 14th district,

[07:11:59] representing parts of the Bronx and Queens,

[07:12:02] and she won not initially against a Republican.

[07:12:05] The big goalpost she had to hit

[07:12:09] was winning against an incumbent Democrat,

[07:12:12] 10 term incumbent Joe Crawley.

[07:12:15] And when she challenged this guy in 2018

[07:12:18] as a former waitress and organizer,

[07:12:21] the daughter of working class Puerto Rican parents

[07:12:23] in the Bronx in Westchester, she won.

[07:12:27] She won 56 points to 43,

[07:12:29] and then she won the general at 78%.

[07:12:32] So AOC is known internationally

[07:12:35] for fighting for working families,

[07:12:38] real brawler for real working people. She's championed Medicare for all, a green new deal,

[07:12:44] and she's aggressively anti-corruption, pro-worker, and anti-establishment. The news cycle is

[07:12:51] just strategically horrific and such an onslaught, but to see AOC as somebody in power working

[07:13:01] so hard for you and me and for a better future, that is something I'm grateful for, even just

[07:13:07] from a distance, but wow, what a privilege

[07:13:09] to interview her IRL and up close.

[07:13:12] Welcome to It's Open with the Long Glazer,

[07:13:14] and I hope you enjoyed this conversation

[07:13:15] I had with AOC.

[07:13:16] I did.

[07:13:17] I did.

[07:13:18] I did.

[07:13:19] I did.

[07:13:22] Congresswoman Alexandria Macasio-Cortez.

[07:13:25] Hi.

[07:13:25] Thank you so much for joining me today.

[07:13:27] Oh, no, thank you for having me.

[07:13:29] I'm so excited.

[07:13:30] I really am.

[07:13:32] It's really my honor.

[07:13:33] AOC, you are a beacon of hope.

[07:13:36] You are a, whoo, thank the Lord beacon of hope for,

[07:13:40] I wanna say millennials, but really Americans right now,

[07:13:43] you talk normal, you look normal, looking in your eyes,

[07:13:48] I'm like, there's not, I can see what this person is feeling.

[07:13:52] And you're not saying something different

[07:13:54] than you're feeling, right?

[07:13:55] And I know that you're working for the American people.

[07:14:00] You're a different kind of elected official,

[07:14:02] one who has lived the life like those of their constituents.

[07:14:09] So you worked in food service, is that right?

[07:14:11] Yeah, I waitress, I bartended.

[07:14:14] I mean, my first job was as a hostess

[07:14:19] at an Irish pub in suburban Westchester.

[07:14:25] I was in high school.

[07:14:27] But then, yeah, in my 20s too,

[07:14:30] I graduated college during the Great Recession,

[07:14:34] like a lot of us did.

[07:14:35] The job market was brutal.

[07:14:37] And, you know, my dad had gotten sick

[07:14:42] and passed away when I was a teenager.

[07:14:44] While I was in college, my mom was single mom,

[07:14:46] she cleaned houses, she drove school buses.

[07:14:49] And we almost were on the brink of losing our house.

[07:14:52] And so at that time, waitressing and bartending,

[07:14:57] it was fast money.

[07:14:59] And in a lot of ways it paid more than a lot of entry-level work if you had a college degree.

[07:15:04] And so that's what I did for years to make ends meet.

[07:15:10] And yeah, you know, and I was so distressed during that time.

[07:15:20] I'm a teenager.

[07:15:21] I mean, yeah.

[07:15:22] I'm so sorry that your father passed away that young.

[07:15:25] Yeah.

[07:15:26] So I'm so glad that I went through that in retrospect,

[07:15:32] even though at the time it was horrible,

[07:15:34] but like I just wouldn't be doing what I do

[07:15:42] and I wouldn't be able to do what I do

[07:15:44] if I didn't go through that.

[07:15:45] It's like at the time,

[07:15:46] and when you're a young person,

[07:15:47] things happen and they like consume you,

[07:15:49] but you couldn't have known

[07:15:50] that it was preparing you to care for millions of people.

[07:15:53] Oh no, and like, you know,

[07:15:56] you're going through that stuff in your 20s

[07:15:58] and someone comes along and they're like,

[07:16:01] everything happens for me, bitch.

[07:16:03] Or they're like, you don't know, it's gonna work out.

[07:16:08] Like, this is preparing you.

[07:16:09] And when I would hear that stuff,

[07:16:12] I was just like, screw off.

[07:16:17] Yeah, yeah, yeah, fully.

[07:16:19] It's like, it is rude and diminutive,

[07:16:20] but it's also like, turned out to be true, in a way.

[07:16:23] In a way.

[07:16:24] In my case, yeah.

[07:16:24] I started busing tables when I was like 12.

[07:16:28] Oh my God, child labor.

[07:16:30] I don't know why my brother and I

[07:16:32] started working so young, but I was like a full on waitress

[07:16:35] from 14 to 24 on Long Island, where I grew up and in the city.

[07:16:40] And by the time I was 24, I was like,

[07:16:42] I've worked in food service for half of my life.

[07:16:45] Yes, yes.

[07:16:46] And that was how I saved a nest egg to do comedy.

[07:16:53] Truly, you know what I mean to like pay some student loans off initially like it made and like fast money

[07:16:58] You get some on the books and you're making some tips and it's absolutely. Yeah, I mean

[07:17:02] It's a I sometimes joke. Um, I

[07:17:06] Sometimes joke about this with Republicans or other people

[07:17:09] I was like honestly if we actually had guaranteed health care in this country

[07:17:14] Like I I may still be doing it 100. I know nannying. I didn't mean for a long time

[07:17:20] I'm bad of a job if you, like, if I just felt,

[07:17:25] had felt a little more stability

[07:17:27] in being able to go to the doctor.

[07:17:29] Right, right.

[07:17:31] And, you know, be able to save some money.

[07:17:35] It's dignified, good, honest work.

[07:17:39] You're talking to people, you're getting out,

[07:17:41] you have a community.

[07:17:42] Yeah.

[07:17:42] I totally agree, childcare, you know, I have a little kiddo

[07:17:44] and I talked to people in childcare who are, you know,

[07:17:47] I've had, have a childcare provider

[07:17:49] And it's like this work is typically so undignified, diminished.

[07:17:55] There's no, you know, the there's that national domestic domestic workers

[07:18:00] alliance, but there's not really like a unionization around it.

[07:18:02] It's great work. It feels so good. It's so rewarding.

[07:18:05] And if there was healthcare, more people would do it.

[07:18:08] Yeah. And I felt really, I like doing the job because

[07:18:13] in a way, it's like you really feel like you are doing something real, right, like I work

[07:18:25] in food, this is what I do, like there's a lot of skill involved, front of house, you

[07:18:33] know, a lot of order of operations, a lot of management, a lot of like food knowledge,

[07:18:39] I mean, I love, I really grew to love that industry.

[07:18:45] Yeah.

[07:18:45] The way the system is rigged, let's talk about it.

[07:18:48] So the system is rigged for the ultra wealthy.

[07:18:52] And you, you know, Bernie Sanders, I think,

[07:18:54] was the first to puncture through with this messaging

[07:18:57] to the mainstream, to mainstream America.

[07:19:00] And you're really his successor.

[07:19:02] You speak in such clear and simple language.

[07:19:05] So obviously spontaneous, genuine from your lived experience,

[07:19:09] which is so different.

[07:19:11] I mean, you know, I'm laughing,

[07:19:12] but it's honestly terrifying how most,

[07:19:16] I would say the majority of elected officials

[07:19:18] do not reflect the lived experience of their constituents.

[07:19:22] When did this come into your consciousness,

[07:19:25] this system being rigged for the ultra-wealthy?

[07:19:27] Well, first I wanna say, in a lot of ways,

[07:19:31] we're all kind of Bernie's successor.

[07:19:34] I think that this class consciousness

[07:19:38] that young people have today has been a big part

[07:19:44] of Bernie's life.

[07:19:47] And so I say that because I know that that is also

[07:19:50] what he would say and it's what he wants.

[07:19:52] But also, in terms of the class piece,

[07:19:58] I, to your point, a lot of it just had to do

[07:20:03] with the experiences of my life,

[07:20:04] which is the experiences that a lot of people have.

[07:20:06] I think that, so I grew up in a household

[07:20:10] that was actually not very, it was political,

[07:20:14] but it was not very political at the same time.

[07:20:16] Like my parents identified as independents.

[07:20:19] They were very skeptical of the political system.

[07:20:23] They always voted for Democrats here in New York

[07:20:25] for the most part, but they would, you know,

[07:20:28] it was just a different type of upbringing.

[07:20:33] I didn't grow up, I'm not the child of like professors

[07:20:37] or anything like that.

[07:20:38] My mom, my mom cleaned houses growing up.

[07:20:42] My dad was born in the South Bronx and...

[07:20:46] Where was she born?

[07:20:46] She was born in Puerto Rico.

[07:20:47] She was born at a sea bone in Puerto Rico.

[07:20:50] And my dad's parents were Puerto Rican.

[07:20:53] And actually they met when he was home visiting family

[07:20:56] and she was literally like the girl next door.

[07:20:59] Yeah, so he was flying home to visit some family

[07:21:03] Puerto Rico. That's so cute. Yeah, I was like literally he was like visiting like an older aunt

[07:21:08] or something like that and my mom was literally like the girl next door. I think she was like

[07:21:14] helping them put up a shelf or something like that and I know she must be so beautiful. I know

[07:21:19] it's just like God is that sweet. Yeah, just the best. And so anyways, like, you know, but they

[07:21:26] They both grew up in just real poverty and my dad was born when the Bronx was burning.

[07:21:35] And the reason the Bronx was burning was because landlords had determined that their

[07:21:42] property values were going down and they would hire people to set their own buildings

[07:21:49] on fire to collect on the insurance, because that was more valuable than the people inside

[07:21:57] or the value of home, you know?

[07:21:59] That is chilling.

[07:22:01] And that's, you know, people talk about the Bronx as though it, you know, it's kind of

[07:22:05] like people have heard this phrase, the Bronx was burning and it's just kind of ascribed

[07:22:09] to like social disorder, but this was actually like a capitalistic crisis.

[07:22:16] Yeah, and my dad literally grew up playing in the rubble.

[07:22:20] And at six years old,

[07:22:23] he saw all these buildings going down,

[07:22:25] and he decided that he wanted to help

[07:22:29] be a person that built them back up.

[07:22:31] So at six, he decided he wanted to become an architect.

[07:22:34] And he went to school, New York City Public Schools,

[07:22:38] he got into Brooklyn Tech.

[07:22:40] Wow.

[07:22:42] He would study on the subways,

[07:22:43] but like he grew up in like a one bedroom apartment,

[07:22:47] five people, it was crazy.

[07:22:50] And my mom grew up in,

[07:22:55] well, she was originally born in a rural area

[07:22:57] in Puerto Rico, Eduardo,

[07:23:00] and then they moved to this other area of Puerto Rico.

[07:23:02] But like, you know, my parents really, really,

[07:23:06] really came from nothing.

[07:23:08] Like, so, you know, I grew up around this real,

[07:23:13] fidelity to the American dream. Like if you work hard, you can make it. And so I did. Yeah,

[07:23:25] and they did. They did. Like my parents, I think about this now, my parents, they bought,

[07:23:32] they bought an apartment in the Bronx in their twenties and it was like $40,000. Wow. You

[07:23:40] know like what and like when I say that they did it's like but even think about

[07:23:46] where you got to in your 20s and you're like shit I gotta I gotta worked my

[07:23:50] ass off to pay my debts and help my mom and all this but it's like you know this

[07:23:55] dream it's like this like loop that is this scam but then it also is an

[07:24:00] opportunity like you you are amazing you have become this beacon of hope in this

[07:24:05] speaker and it's like it's confusing we're so totally tricked and we're also

[07:24:10] like tricked out of our own history of these genocidal frameworks on which our country is

[07:24:16] born. But then also there is this opportunity. And it's amazing, but I think the missing piece

[07:24:25] is the practicality, the affordability. I've been thinking lately about messaging of affordability,

[07:24:31] how this is actually human rights. Affordability is the on-the-ground structural, practical,

[07:24:39] functional framework for human rights.

[07:24:42] Yeah, I mean, well, this is, you know,

[07:24:44] and there's history with that.

[07:24:45] You have FDR had released an economic bill of rights

[07:24:50] and he had released this framework

[07:24:53] that included things like the right to retire

[07:24:57] with dignity, healthcare,

[07:24:59] which became then the foundations for social security,

[07:25:03] Medicare, and so on.

[07:25:06] And it's true because what had become

[07:25:09] turning point for me was that, you know, my parents had been doing it. We came from nothing

[07:25:14] and they scrapped and they built their way and they worked so hard to the bone.

[07:25:27] What's up everybody? We're back. We're live. We're live. And we are on our way to the

[07:25:35] I know you were listening to AOC. I miss her already. Okay, well, while I can't deliver

[07:25:49] to you AOC, I can deliver to you AOC's former Chief of Staff. I'm sure I've got a Chocobarty,

[07:25:55] For those of you who don't know, and he's running to fill the seat vacated by Speaker

[07:26:04] Emerita Nancy Pelosi here in San Francisco.

[07:26:09] And it's going to be an interesting journey today, partially because it's yet another

[07:26:16] rally that I'm attending and speaking of.

[07:26:20] But also on top of that, I'm unbelievably tired.

[07:26:23] part of the reason why I'm tired is because I flew in this morning from Los Angeles and

[07:26:29] and it wasn't great. It wasn't a great idea. I didn't get to sleep too much.

[07:26:37] Where is the nearest parking? Please help. Okay. Love that this hallways somehow finds

[07:26:49] a way to turn into a customer support line for many of you. I've seen photos from the

[07:26:56] event so far. It seems packed. I don't know if the event is actually packed or not. Maybe

[07:27:05] the photos are duping me into believing that we got more emotion than we actually do. But

[07:27:11] there are going to be other people at the rally as well alongside myself. Some of the

[07:27:18] other speakers, including people who are also running for office.

[07:27:24] Mellot Keros and Daryl Eza from New York, who I've had on the show before.

[07:27:30] I've had on the broadcast before.

[07:27:34] And Angela Gonzalez Torres, Jamal Bowman, former congressperson, will also be at the rally.

[07:27:44] As far as people are running, it's Angela Gonzalez-Torres,

[07:27:47] I'm like Keros, and Dariah Lisa Avila, Chevalier,

[07:27:53] and also Alexandra Rojas from Just Demercast.

[07:27:57] It's also going to be there as well.

[07:27:59] Some more perfect union people will be there.

[07:28:01] It's a real who's who of the insurgents

[07:28:05] that are running around all around the country

[07:28:09] want to not only run to build a better future for this country but also change

[07:28:18] the party from within. Which seemingly has been a terrifying prospect for a lot

[07:28:23] of people in the Democratic front and the Democratic Party. So terrifying that

[07:28:29] the San Francisco Democrats had a... I don't know if they're council member or

[07:28:38] not this one guy who used to be in the San Francisco Police Department doing PR

[07:28:44] for them, released a statement demanding a condemnation of your boy. This also

[07:28:54] comes on the heels of Mike Lawler getting Donald Trump to attack another one

[07:28:59] of my candidates, Effie, and the district Mike Lawler currently occupies the seat in.

[07:29:04] Matt Dorsey is the name of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors member

[07:29:10] District 6. A Israel first Democrat who is apparently very offended by my

[07:29:20] presence in San Francisco and by my presence within the ranks of the

[07:29:29] Democratic Party. Your candidate, our candidate.

[07:29:45] Are you going to interview Daniel Lurie about how much joy

[07:29:47] beating the homeless brings him? I will not be.

[07:29:50] I'll drill a ball the way that the San Francisco from SAC, I'm excited to see you.

[07:30:00] Did we just bring a bunch of out of city folks that can't even fucking vote for shortcut

[07:30:04] in here?

[07:30:05] What the hell?

[07:30:06] You guys need my car?

[07:30:07] You guys need anything?

[07:30:08] Okay, thank you.

[07:30:09] Okay, thank you

[07:30:20] Okay, thank you

[07:30:25] Inconvenient freedom of movement, I mean it's just like

[07:30:30] Dog I would have Sacramento mentioned let's go no one gets excited for Sacramento mentioned

[07:30:35] That's unbelievable. Sack Town, baby. Sack City. Sack Taps. Sack Taps for Sacramento.

[07:30:42] All right. I believe we're here somewhere. Almost. Almost.

[07:30:58] There's going to be a police car that you want to park behind.

[07:31:05] What are you just having on the left-hand side?

[07:31:07] Yeah.

[07:31:10] Oh, I see it there.

[07:31:14] Yeah, but you're just going to pull up behind that.

[07:31:22] Is that the protesters?

[07:31:25] Like ten people standing in the room and the white tank of the black blizzard can hop out next to me

[07:31:32] I don't see him.

[07:31:51] Do you see him?

[07:31:53] What are you laughing at?

[07:31:55] I don't see him.

[07:31:58] Why?

[07:32:02] Yeah, right here. Oh yeah, right there. Alright, we can, okay. Okay, what we, no, no, no,

[07:32:15] we shouldn't go here. Okay. Alright, well too late. Yeah, we can't. Alright, it's fine.

[07:32:20] Let's just get out of here. Okay. Okay. Okay. There you go. You got that back of him? Yeah,

[07:32:28] Hello. Hi, good to see you.

[07:32:32] I owe you one of these. Thank you.

[07:32:36] Hello. Yes, sir.

[07:32:40] Yes, yes. Donnie.

[07:32:44] Hello. Good to see you.

[07:32:48] Doing all right. How are you doing? No protestors.

[07:32:52] Oh yeah, I've seen the poster.

[07:32:56] They made him AI.

[07:32:58] They made him apples. Do I need to get mic'd up?

[07:33:01] Um, yeah.

[07:33:03] I guess we're going into this.

[07:33:05] You want to do this inside?

[07:33:08] Yeah.

[07:33:10] What's going on?

[07:33:12] I got something.

[07:33:14] Thank you.

[07:33:16] No, that was Donnie.

[07:33:18] It's amateur hour for Donnie.

[07:33:20] What?

[07:33:22] Oh, alright.

[07:33:24] Who the fuck is here?

[07:33:26] Hi.

[07:33:31] No camera cameras, there's motionless.

[07:33:33] Yeah, what happened?

[07:33:35] I thought there'd be at least like 10 people.

[07:33:48] Sorry, I thought that was gonna be fucking perfect, so we just tried to figure out where we're at.

[07:33:54] Oh, the shit.

[07:33:59] Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[07:34:02] Hey, let's get it.

[07:34:05] How's everything?

[07:34:07] Pretty good, pretty good.

[07:34:10] It's my mom.

[07:34:12] I'll save your money.

[07:34:14] I'll be right back.

[07:34:16] Alright, we're going in there?

[07:34:18] What's happening?

[07:34:20] How was your ride?

[07:34:22] That was fun.

[07:34:23] Great.

[07:34:24] Do you want anything watered?

[07:34:27] I'm good.

[07:34:28] I'm good?

[07:34:29] I'm good?

[07:34:30] Well, actually, that's not it.

[07:34:31] That's a lie.

[07:34:32] Are there energy beds or anything like that?

[07:34:33] Oh, yes, I know.

[07:34:34] What's up?

[07:34:35] What's up?

[07:34:36] How's it going?

[07:34:37] Thank you for doing this.

[07:34:38] You're doing good.

[07:34:39] Now you are dead tired from doing like a thousand things.

[07:34:43] Yeah.

[07:34:44] I was going to, oh yeah, I was going to say, if there's any energy beds, we both need them

[07:34:48] because we just flew in and we're tired.

[07:34:51] Hi by the way.

[07:34:52] March, nice to meet you.

[07:34:53] Nice to meet you.

[07:34:56] It's chilly in here.

[07:34:57] Is it too cold?

[07:34:58] No, it's fine.

[07:34:58] I don't care.

[07:34:59] I got multiple layers on.

[07:35:00] I got jaguars for days.

[07:35:02] I got the mic for CNN on me still.

[07:35:06] Oh.

[07:35:06] Yeah.

[07:35:07] You just interviewed me.

[07:35:09] Yeah, I don't know where Donny is.

[07:35:10] I just, too, he just gave me the mic and he didn't show it.

[07:35:12] He didn't follow.

[07:35:14] Well, I guess what he's going to say is to take that.

[07:35:16] OK.

[07:35:17] I can take it.

[07:35:17] Better to let him know it's on you.

[07:35:19] Yeah.

[07:35:20] Don't say don't say all the secrets. Yeah, don't say all of the secrets. Yeah

[07:35:26] Don't leave them

[07:35:32] No, it's right now

[07:35:38] Yeah, we never stop I

[07:35:42] Got your mic

[07:35:45] There's no protesters what I thought that there would be a nice a couple

[07:35:50] your progress nobody shows up yeah it's wild that the AI the AI posted to put

[07:35:56] up with six fingers didn't do it for yeah somehow San Francisco organic

[07:36:01] grassroots driven protein movement yeah it's not a materialized today

[07:36:06] yeah okay here you go all right it's good showing though right up packed

[07:36:15] Yeah, the last time we did one of these, we had a venue half the size.

[07:36:20] Uh-huh.

[07:36:21] It's the real life.

[07:36:22] You gotta go bigger this time.

[07:36:23] Okay, I didn't even get bigger than this.

[07:36:25] That's crazy.

[07:36:26] I mean, the thing I was really excited about is, literally on Monday, Emily, my campaign

[07:36:30] man, she had the idea.

[07:36:31] She was like, hey, why don't we fly in some of the other justice Democrats candidates

[07:36:35] to try to show the whole thing.

[07:36:36] And I was like, no, it's too late.

[07:36:38] I know it's going to be.

[07:36:39] We're going to show up on two days notice.

[07:36:41] They were literally all booked their tickets that night.

[07:36:44] So it's crazy, basically.

[07:36:46] That's how male is going on here, it's crazy.

[07:36:48] Yeah, she's going to be entitled.

[07:36:53] See, this is why I need a energy bag.

[07:36:58] You have one of twice?

[07:37:01] I mean, it doesn't really matter.

[07:37:03] Yeah, it's perfect.

[07:37:04] I'll take anything right now.

[07:37:05] I'm a beggars' campy choosers.

[07:37:08] So what's up with this venue?

[07:37:09] Do they have drinks?

[07:37:10] They do have drinks.

[07:37:12] What?

[07:37:13] I'm working

[07:37:15] When have you been sober while working?

[07:37:17] This is the first time I'm working

[07:37:19] Why are you acting different from the show you're doing?

[07:37:21] These days

[07:37:23] These are degenerate

[07:37:24] Not a congressperson here

[07:37:25] Okay

[07:37:26] Once I am, I'm just throwing in jail like this

[07:37:28] That's crazy

[07:37:29] I have plans after

[07:37:31] I actually do

[07:37:32] You have plans after?

[07:37:33] Yeah

[07:37:34] What the fuck are your plans after?

[07:37:36] I'm going to go to the Regency Ballroom

[07:37:38] To go see Kendama play

[07:37:40] My friend Genevieve

[07:37:41] Wow

[07:37:42] What the fuck?

[07:37:43] Yeah, good night, MVNSF.

[07:37:45] That's crazy.

[07:37:46] You can land out here, too.

[07:37:47] That's great.

[07:37:48] No, this is how you use it every time.

[07:37:50] Yeah, every time.

[07:37:54] Every time.

[07:37:57] Oh, perfect.

[07:37:58] Hell yeah.

[07:37:59] Sugar-free?

[07:37:59] Yeah.

[07:38:00] That's great.

[07:38:01] I'm going to have to take a look.

[07:38:02] Yeah, I'm going to have to take a look.

[07:38:05] Thank you.

[07:38:06] How many of these have you done at this point?

[07:38:08] I don't know.

[07:38:09] like four or five, not that many. Um, yeah, we're, we're, I'm going to a peptide

[07:38:14] regulator. Yeah, it's all the rage. Yeah, we're going to do red, a true tie.

[07:38:19] A different GLP agonist. We're trying them all. It's going to be a fiesta. You

[07:38:24] wouldn't know about it. I didn't invite you because you're already frail.

[07:38:29] Booked up with the agency bar under. Yeah, I just, I didn't know. Yeah. It's

[07:38:34] super cool. It's all the rage. Everyone's talking about it.

[07:38:39] Yeah, I'm gonna go back and pass out after this.

[07:38:42] I know, that's why I didn't invite you.

[07:38:44] All right, well, you napped in my bed for hours while it was live streaming, so...

[07:38:51] How did you, like, what made you decide to start doing it?

[07:38:54] Was it one candidate who, like, pestered you until you did it, or...

[07:38:57] It was Abdul.

[07:38:58] Was it Abdul? It would be Abdul. He didn't pester me. He did ass.

[07:39:01] But I was like, sure, why not?

[07:39:03] He was the first time I actually, like, went and did a rally.

[07:39:06] And and then I think everybody saw like at first when I did it

[07:39:13] Everyone was like oh, this is gonna be devastating for Abdul. It's gonna ruin him like

[07:39:18] How dare you third way was like sending out mailers and pamphlets

[07:39:23] Sending out questionnaires. It's ironic because they were the big like empty question

[07:39:28] air people

[07:39:29] From the groups, right and then you know live long enough to become the villain. I guess they became the

[07:39:35] questionnaire ascending group and then there was all this media commotion

[07:39:40] around it and then he surged in that same timeframe not because of me or

[07:39:45] anything but like I think with all the media attention it certainly helped get

[07:39:51] a name recognition out there and he already had the solid fundamentals and

[07:39:56] and he searched from like third place to in the last couple of polls in the first

[07:40:01] Yeah, so ever since then every candidate has been like

[07:40:06] You want to do right? I don't like because we go to Michigan. Yeah, you want to do you want to do rallies?

[07:40:12] I don't know why people always have this mentality where

[07:40:17] There's this idea that like a person like myself is too controversial for a place like Michigan

[07:40:23] It's like that's not the case at all. I got hella fans in Michigan. Yeah, there's a lot of people that

[07:40:28] even through the negative filters

[07:40:30] can can comprehend exactly what this message is about and so I think the

[07:40:37] thing is that's what they're worried about the Trump literally started

[07:40:40] attacking F.E. Phillips Stanley. Really? Yeah. F.E. Phillips Stanley today Trump

[07:40:46] tweeted about her and was like she's a croak she lied she shouldn't even be on

[07:40:50] the ballot she's doing fraud. That's wild. Yeah. Of all the people who couldn't go after her.

[07:40:55] Yeah, I think Mike Waller. I think Mike Waller was afraid. What's good?

[07:41:13] She's not even like she's

[07:41:25] And they're trying to turn you into like the number one villain, but it's not gonna work. It doesn't work. You're a streamer

[07:41:32] Yeah, it's like it didn't even work with AOC. All it does is it

[07:41:37] Generates tremendous disapproval from Republicans. Yeah, but liberals still liberals love AOC

[07:41:43] I know

[07:41:44] Like my favorite because because they try to do that resolution condemning you and also condemning changing the party

[07:41:50] Yeah, stick with that message, please sign on to that anybody in the Democratic Party here

[07:41:54] But it's just like like my counter that is like that picture of like you with AOC and Zoran and like all of the

[07:42:02] Darlings and the national progressions that boxies put up. Yeah, yeah, this isn't they're going after

[07:42:08] Yeah, the dangerous radicals of the party are like some of the most popular politicians in the in the party. It's like

[07:42:15] Bernie Sanders

[07:42:18] AOC they put Abdul in there

[07:42:20] It's very funny predicament, but

[07:42:24] I think it's uh yeah I genuinely think Republicans are stupid enough to make

[07:42:29] this a midterm message because they have nothing what are they gonna run on all

[07:42:32] the economy is great okay gas prices are low is that can't run on that no new

[07:42:37] wars can't run on that so what are they gonna run on comes around again to a

[07:42:41] son piker I think I'm not even kidding I think box news genuinely was like all

[07:42:46] right we'll just get right they're already doing they're already running

[07:42:50] on Hassan Piker. Hassan Piker is a boogeyman. Hassan Piker is the worst thing to happen

[07:42:54] to our democracy. If anyone who's connected to him, we got to vote against them. The thing

[07:42:59] about Effie's district that's crazy, we're talking about a suburban district twice removed

[07:43:07] from New York City. So this is like the suburbs. And Zoran, Bernie, AOC, super popular in this

[07:43:16] district, why plus 64 popularity in this district. APAC in the same district is

[07:43:23] underwater negative 32. Jomal Bowman is more popular in this district than APAC.

[07:43:29] And this is a suburb one district over from where I lost in 2024. So talking

[07:43:35] about the shift that's happening. So Lola is trying to get off the ballot in her

[07:43:40] primary she doesn't do it well because he knows she's his biggest threat and

[07:43:47] now you got Trump yeah I mean it's like a surefire way to make sure she wins

[07:43:54] the primary yeah I think I mean we'll see we'll see what happens cuz the

[07:43:59] Democrats like Democrat the like the county Democrats also immediately

[07:44:04] Are we supposed to be moving on this?

[07:44:08] I think I've got some press.

[07:44:11] Oh, OK, yeah, yeah.

[07:44:13] You can show us.

[07:44:14] I want to choose you something.

[07:44:15] What do you think it means?

[07:44:16] Please.

[07:44:17] And the nicest thing possible.

[07:44:18] Can you sit on my phone?

[07:44:19] Yeah.

[07:44:20] Because it looks like shit over here.

[07:44:21] Let me fix this real quick.

[07:44:23] It's coming off.

[07:44:25] Oh, that's...

[07:44:26] Oh, there's a Joy-Con wall.

[07:44:28] Yes.

[07:44:29] Thank you for fixing that.

[07:44:30] Of course.

[07:44:31] You're not fixing it.

[07:44:33] I made it worse.

[07:44:35] It's okay. I'm not going to shoot that high up anyway.

[07:44:38] It's fine. It was just falling on my head. It's all good.

[07:44:41] Yeah, yeah.

[07:44:45] That way the lighting is actually on you and not behind you.

[07:44:47] Yeah, yeah, true, true, true.

[07:44:51] Oh.

[07:44:59] Now I'm blending into the couch.

[07:45:03] You gotta meet this woman, this young woman.

[07:45:06] Hi.

[07:45:07] Hi.

[07:45:08] Thanks, woman.

[07:45:09] I'm Elise.

[07:45:10] Nice to meet you.

[07:45:11] I run Morpher Virginia.

[07:45:12] Yeah, yeah.

[07:45:13] Thank you so much for your boost in it and your support in this.

[07:45:16] Yeah, it's very exciting.

[07:45:17] I love it.

[07:45:18] I think it's very good.

[07:45:19] There's a lot of like, there's a lot of people that want to do the campus stuff, like the

[07:45:24] campus debate stuff, but I think it's, you know, Morpher Virginia has been very solid.

[07:45:30] I'm glad that it's one of the more popular media outlets

[07:45:33] for the Democrats right now.

[07:45:35] Yeah, and not four Democrats for actual people.

[07:45:38] And we're hoping to be a tool in the other direction

[07:45:41] for the DSA, wide DSA shoppers.

[07:45:44] And we're going to teach them how to make video.

[07:45:47] Yeah.

[07:45:47] I told Saz, I'm like, whatever you need me to do, I'm there.

[07:45:50] I'm down to do it.

[07:45:51] That's much appreciated.

[07:45:52] Yeah, Hannah's great.

[07:45:53] She's been maybe going back and forth from there.

[07:45:56] Yeah.

[07:45:56] Hell yeah.

[07:45:57] Thank you.

[07:45:58] Yeah, whenever you guys are doing campus tours or anything like that, I'll be there.

[07:46:02] Listen, listen, she was killing it before more perfectly.

[07:46:05] That's why they sought her out to bring her in.

[07:46:09] She was on Capitol Hill lobbying her ass off for young people when I was there in Congress.

[07:46:15] And she's a real leader.

[07:46:17] No, she's dope.

[07:46:18] She's dope, man.

[07:46:19] She's, you know, co-far, you know?

[07:46:22] Co-far and everything.

[07:46:23] Do we name that organization?

[07:46:24] I think we should.

[07:46:26] What?

[07:46:26] Do we not name them?

[07:46:28] What did you call? Aren't you the co-founder of the...

[07:46:31] Yeah, he saved her change.

[07:46:32] Yeah, you're not bad.

[07:46:33] Are we allowed to talk about it?

[07:46:34] Well, we got better.

[07:46:35] Oh, they're cool now?

[07:46:36] Yeah.

[07:46:37] So, she...

[07:46:38] Co-founder of the change, that is some, you know, very good alumni and then some...

[07:46:43] Yeah, we're all famous.

[07:46:44] We are all famous.

[07:46:45] Some not so good.

[07:46:46] She's changed the great one.

[07:46:47] But that's why I'm more fucking...

[07:46:49] Perky Indian came up.

[07:46:50] We know who we're talking about.

[07:46:51] You forgot who I was talking about.

[07:46:52] Jinzy for change?

[07:46:53] No, you know the previous executive directors.

[07:46:56] That's what you're talking about.

[07:46:57] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[07:46:59] I see them buttoning, just live.

[07:47:01] Thank you.

[07:47:02] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[07:47:03] I think they're live.

[07:47:04] It's nice to see you.

[07:47:05] Oh, you're live.

[07:47:06] I just wanted to introduce you.

[07:47:07] He's live right now?

[07:47:08] Always.

[07:47:09] What's up, y'all?

[07:47:10] What's up?

[07:47:11] Hello.

[07:47:12] I was one of the most popular in the building.

[07:47:13] Peace and love, y'all.

[07:47:14] We've been doing Bernie 2016, and we're still thinking the food for evolution.

[07:47:17] Hell yeah.

[07:47:18] I saw that you spent time with Cory Bush on Mayday.

[07:47:21] Yeah.

[07:47:22] I'm gonna ask him, are you ready for the food for evolution?

[07:47:26] I see the work that you're doing and I'm so grateful that you are among the most prominent voices

[07:47:37] that are carrying this red pill pipeline, right?

[07:47:40] We absolutely need it.

[07:47:42] However, we need people organizing, not only just in the streets, but local businesses,

[07:47:49] all of our communities, right?

[07:47:50] I'm from organized power numbers.

[07:47:53] We mainly focus on organizing a majority of the working class.

[07:47:57] What we believe is that a majority of folks belong to the left, they just don't know yet.

[07:48:01] And I know that you are trying to spread that message, right?

[07:48:05] Yeah.

[07:48:06] You're looking in LA.

[07:48:07] Oh, that's a good one.

[07:48:10] Anyway, with love, we've met Alex Hughes in LA.

[07:48:15] She's a part of our team.

[07:48:17] She's a part of All Things Labor.

[07:48:19] It's a social media platform that talks about workers rights.

[07:48:24] We know that union density has been decreasing over the last couple of decades,

[07:48:28] but really the only way that we can actually have a flip revolution is that we are organizing power numbers from the bottom up.

[07:48:36] Anyway, all that to say, all that to say.

[07:48:38] I know you're connected to Alex.

[07:48:40] Just wanted to thank you for all of the wonderful work that you're doing.

[07:48:43] Thank you for the work you're doing.

[07:48:44] And we will see you.

[07:48:45] Alright, nice to see you guys.

[07:48:47] Are you down to do Canada interviews now?

[07:48:50] Sure.

[07:48:51] I mean, it's not going to be a full-blown interview.

[07:48:55] I've already hung out with the candidates.

[07:48:57] Well, I guess it's a chat.

[07:48:59] Yeah, we can just hang out.

[07:49:00] There's no obligation if they're sitting around and,

[07:49:06] I don't know, if they're not busy.

[07:49:08] Yeah, sure.

[07:49:09] We're doing that here?

[07:49:10] Yeah.

[07:49:11] Or does that work?

[07:49:12] Yeah.

[07:49:12] If that's cool, if that's cool with you,

[07:49:14] we'll send a link to someone else.

[07:49:16] What it'll actually do is I'm gonna just post it up right here real quick and then you can show me the riser or I can pop up later during the main event while they're doing that.

[07:49:23] That work?

[07:49:24] Sure.

[07:49:25] Just so I can get like a check of the space.

[07:49:27] Are we gonna do a button mic or are we gonna do shotgun?

[07:49:30] Yeah, I'm just gonna keep it over the actual thing.

[07:49:32] Yeah.

[07:49:33] I'm gonna go out there and see what this is what it sounds like.

[07:49:35] Okay.

[07:49:36] And then make that decision.

[07:49:37] Okay.

[07:49:38] I'm so sorry.

[07:49:39] Can I have one?

[07:49:40] Yeah, yeah.

[07:49:41] Let's do it.

[07:49:43] Thank you.

[07:49:46] Thank you, of course.

[07:49:50] Nice to meet you.

[07:49:54] Oh.

[07:49:58] When do I speak?

[07:50:02] Oh, I think in like half an hour.

[07:50:06] I'm going to leave this here. Let's try to get you.

[07:50:10] Or no, not half an hour. I got an hour and 15 before I speak.

[07:50:14] We're going to be comatose by then.

[07:50:17] No, no, that's why I'm slamming the briskies.

[07:50:20] I'm being so eepy. No, no, no.

[07:50:23] I'm going to get even more energized.

[07:50:25] Don't you worry.

[07:50:27] Don't you worry, Chad.

[07:50:32] Okay.

[07:50:33] You can see the muscle here.

[07:50:35] Okay, that's fine.

[07:50:37] I will stay then, so that I can accurately film it.

[07:50:43] I'll get away with it

[07:52:50] And I'm born and raised in that community, and I'm proud to be running.

[07:52:57] Yeah, sorry.

[07:52:58] No, come here.

[07:52:59] Hi.

[07:53:00] What's the...

[07:53:01] What's the, aside from being a APEC guy, what's Jimi Gomez's deal?

[07:53:11] Yeah, I think.

[07:53:12] What makes you want to run against him?

[07:53:14] I think being the daughter of a deportee, having lived through my own father's deportation,

[07:53:19] I really feel the urgency of this moment.

[07:53:21] I help people transition from prison into universities.

[07:53:24] Our work is working, but he's also taken past campaign contributions from those that build and operate private prisons,

[07:53:30] private prisons and ICE detention centers. He is currently exploiting immigrant stories

[07:53:36] and for reelection all while he has not signed on to block the bombs. And he's also one of five

[07:53:44] house Democrats backed by a 125 million dollar pledge from big AI called Leading the Future and

[07:53:50] they're trying to steal our future. Shall I continue or that's bad enough? No, no, keep going.

[07:53:54] Talk your shit, queen.

[07:53:56] I think that's it.

[07:53:57] Yeah, it's like...

[07:53:58] I thought it was called the queen.

[07:53:59] I'd say shit.

[07:54:00] I'm tired.

[07:54:01] It's A-Pag, it's AI-Pag, all the packs.

[07:54:04] It's all the packs.

[07:54:05] It's also...

[07:54:06] Wait, can I say as a renter, as someone working two jobs like so many other Angelenos just

[07:54:11] to keep a roof over my head, though I went to UCLA like he did.

[07:54:14] You know what I mean?

[07:54:15] Like I did everything right and the goalpost keeps moving and the cost of living keeps

[07:54:18] getting in the way of us being able to live our lives.

[07:54:21] And if that's not bad enough, he is never enough.

[07:54:24] Jimmy's also in the pockets of corporate real estate developers like it just doesn't stop

[07:54:30] Real little guy the productive forces of this country not labor, but

[07:54:37] Because my team are people who we've been working as community members for so long to try to get his attention and

[07:54:46] I think we got it. So we're back by Justice Dempsey also California Working Families Party

[07:54:51] We're not interested in the establishment within the Democratic Party and of course on the other sides or whatever

[07:54:58] But it's a student led campaign and they're all like really into you

[07:55:02] So I think we're all doing our part right now, you know, and it's and we're tied for first even though

[07:55:08] We're up against all this big evil money hell yeah

[07:55:13] What's the what's the demographic profile of the the district like is it older?

[07:55:18] I mean, how successful have you been at activating younger voters?

[07:55:23] Because I feel like in my experience, at least, what I've seen in this cycle especially, the

[07:55:28] reason why a lot of the candidates that are running insurgency campaigns are seeing a

[07:55:33] lot of success in the polls is specifically because they're capable of activating young

[07:55:40] voters.

[07:55:41] Youth turnout is obviously abysmal in general, but it's extra abysmal in the primary system.

[07:55:48] But I feel like that's one genuine benefit for a lot of candidates of yourself.

[07:55:56] Yeah, it is one of the youngest districts.

[07:55:59] California's 34th district is also one of the largest immigrant communities in the country

[07:56:04] and I feel like a lot of people are mobilized around their parents not being able to vote.

[07:56:08] My dad being deported, I feel that.

[07:56:11] People younger than me but also my age feel like the opportunity

[07:56:17] but also the responsibility to vote this time because things are things are really bad in LA and

[07:56:24] And so when we have nothing left to lose I'll speak for myself with everything to gain

[07:56:28] And so yeah, it's also predominantly Latino, but it's multi-generational

[07:56:33] It didn't the district includes little Tokyo a little Bangladesh Chinatown

[07:56:37] East LA unincorporated parts of East LA which is so important to amplify because federal

[07:56:42] representation is quite literally their only representation. So yeah, a lot of people are

[07:56:49] turning out. I work with people who are voting for their first time after serving time, you

[07:56:54] know, and whether they're 18 or 74, we're getting all our first-time voters excited to vote for an

[07:57:00] advocate for justice on the ballot. Hell yeah. Yeah. Should we call some of our ladies here? Yeah. Okay.

[07:57:07] All right, we can get everybody on the same spot if you get a fine.

[07:57:12] We'll just have like this awkward...

[07:57:14] I don't want to let it go by the long.

[07:57:16] We'll all stand next to one another awkwardly.

[07:57:19] Hi.

[07:57:20] Hi, it's good to see you again.

[07:57:21] Yeah, you too.

[07:57:22] Look at me.

[07:57:23] How are you?

[07:57:24] Hi, this is Maylott.

[07:57:25] Nice to meet you.

[07:57:26] Nice to meet you.

[07:57:27] We're going to be hanging out on Saturday, right?

[07:57:29] Yeah.

[07:57:30] Yeah.

[07:57:31] All right.

[07:57:32] Well, Darrylise, you've already been on the broadcast, so let's kick it over to Maylott first.

[07:57:36] If you want to tell people where you're running, who you are, what you're about, all that.

[07:57:42] Yeah, definitely. My name is Manacurus and I'm running for Congress in Colorado's first district.

[07:57:46] It's pretty much all of Denver. It's actually one of the most progressive districts in the country.

[07:57:50] It's also the youngest district in the country and we're represented by a 30-year incumbent.

[07:57:55] He's been in office longer than I've been alive.

[07:57:57] He's taken millions from Big Pharma, Big Energy, and Oil.

[07:58:00] loyal defense contractors, A-PAC, and has only her diamonds again.

[07:58:05] Oh, diamonds again.

[07:58:07] I'm such a family.

[07:58:10] I didn't even assume that an evil person like this.

[07:58:13] Wow, thank you so much.

[07:58:16] Take that.

[07:58:18] No, yeah.

[07:58:20] You know, it's funny because she actually used to be such a champion

[07:58:24] for reproductive justice and environmental justice,

[07:58:26] but she's in bed with all these corporations

[07:58:28] and it's turning out bills that are just putting more money back into the pockets of all of her big pharmaceutical donors.

[07:58:34] So we deserve better in our district than that's why I'm running.

[07:58:36] What do you think about progressive districts running tepid neo-liberal centrist Democrats

[07:58:43] and districts that are otherwise supposed to be, districts where we run up the numbers with like far more progressive candidates?

[07:58:50] How do you feel about that?

[07:58:52] I think it's, I argue that candidates or members like to get are even more hurtful to the cause.

[07:59:00] Because they cosplay as progressives, right? They say that they're pro-GPTQ, they say that they're pro-choice,

[07:59:06] and that's enough for them to be a progressive.

[07:59:08] When in reality they are currently in bed with all of the billionaires and corporations that are actively destroying our economy,

[07:59:14] our planet, our democracy, and so, you know, it's not enough for me for you to say that you're a progressive.

[07:59:20] Like if I can look at the FBC report and see who you're actually in bed with that's what I'm going to actually hold you accountable to

[07:59:27] What do you guys think about making all the politicians wear like NASCAR Jackets where they've had a lot of

[07:59:36] Because it's too hard right so like no one wants to spend all their time on hope and secrets figure out

[07:59:42] Exactly who you're actually being sponsored by

[07:59:45] And we need to find a way

[07:59:46] I mean, I'd rather just have publicly financed elections.

[07:59:48] Our check, our check, it's with the dope thing, with the, yeah.

[07:59:52] You would be in the pocket of big nurses, big student lobby.

[07:59:57] Exactly.

[07:59:58] Yeah, that's what they used to do, the burning.

[08:00:00] They'd be like, oh, you don't like packs?

[08:00:01] Well, the nurses pack is, is defending.

[08:00:05] It was like, yeah, they're nurses.

[08:00:07] Like, are you, are you really propping up Chevron and nurses

[08:00:10] in the same vein?

[08:00:11] Like, it's crazy.

[08:00:12] They just wanted to know.

[08:00:13] But yeah, has there been a lot of good coverage, good attention on your race?

[08:00:18] Because you're going to get a lot of attention on your race out of this broadcast.

[08:00:21] I certainly hope so.

[08:00:22] I mean, no, it's been, it's funny because when I first started running,

[08:00:26] like there were so many people that just like laughed in my face.

[08:00:29] Like she's been there for 30 years.

[08:00:31] Like she's one of the most progressive members of the delegation.

[08:00:34] And you know, the thing about districts that are so blue like this one is that

[08:00:38] They are meant to be our real microphone

[08:00:44] to talk about the most progressive policies

[08:00:46] that we should be pushing for and fighting for.

[08:00:49] And so to have somebody in a district

[08:00:51] where we have universal pre-k, we have turn limits.

[08:00:53] We have publicly financed elections on the city

[08:00:55] and local level.

[08:00:57] And to not be fighting for it on the federal level,

[08:01:00] it's an actual disservice to the people of Denver.

[08:01:03] Yeah.

[08:01:04] In the state of California, they actively destroyed

[08:01:07] public financing I think specifically because they were worried that there'd

[08:01:12] be an insurgency campaigns but I think it might be on the ballot this time I'm

[08:01:17] not sure you should know you're running I don't know that though I don't know

[08:01:21] maybe that's not maybe I just made that up chat correct me I'm not a little

[08:01:26] commentator but you know Chabell know you know what's really funny about this

[08:01:29] by the way so I go to like events with other Twitch streamers and stuff I don't

[08:01:36] I don't know if you guys are familiar with, like, Clavicular.

[08:01:38] Have you ever heard of who Clavicular is?

[08:01:39] I've even heard of which of those friends are.

[08:01:41] Okay, let's say it's a live streaming platform.

[08:01:42] But, like, there's a bunch of, like, Zoomers now.

[08:01:45] They all love streaming.

[08:01:46] I'm 34, I'm an old man.

[08:01:48] I'm the oldest person in these rooms that I'm in.

[08:01:51] But it's really funny because anytime we go to, like,

[08:01:52] a party or whatever, there's, like,

[08:01:54] every content creator has a camera person

[08:01:57] that they walk around with,

[08:01:58] and this is identical to that situation.

[08:02:01] Because you guys are running campaigns

[08:02:02] and you have, like, constantly turning content.

[08:02:05] Look at your phone though, I love it.

[08:02:07] Grass roots, baby.

[08:02:09] Grass roots.

[08:02:10] You're a long way away from home.

[08:02:13] I am.

[08:02:14] Yeah, you flew all the way out from New York.

[08:02:16] Give us the tea.

[08:02:18] What's going on in your district?

[08:02:20] What's going on in your race?

[08:02:21] And also tell the people.

[08:02:23] I heard you did this late with you, but they might not remember.

[08:02:25] Yeah, so there Lisa, I'm running for Congress in New York 13

[08:02:28] up in Manhattan, the Bronx.

[08:02:30] I'm challenging a guy who is a five term incumbent.

[08:02:34] And he's just, he's terrible.

[08:02:38] I just, you know, that's nothing for our people has

[08:02:42] take so much money from APAC and real estate corporations,

[08:02:46] like the very same ones that are pressing us out,

[08:02:48] who make our housing just like horrible, right?

[08:02:52] And never fix anything when we need it fixed.

[08:02:55] And so, yeah, no.

[08:02:57] And also takes so much money from the CEOs

[08:03:00] of corporate hospitals that left nurses striking

[08:03:02] for six weeks out in the coldest winter we've had in years.

[08:03:07] But don't you feel like they grind harder?

[08:03:09] Oh, because.

[08:03:10] Like the nurses, like they learn how to grind harder.

[08:03:11] Not if they're outside.

[08:03:13] You know, like they can't be doing their jobs at that time.

[08:03:15] They're getting activated.

[08:03:16] They're getting activated in the cold.

[08:03:17] You know, in that different condition.

[08:03:19] It was brutally cold.

[08:03:20] It was like very brutally cold.

[08:03:22] But I'm so glad that they won their contract.

[08:03:25] And so they are truly some of the toughest among us.

[08:03:30] But no, as bad as the rest.

[08:03:32] And so it was just time, time to challenge him.

[08:03:35] He's been too comfortable in that seat for too long,

[08:03:38] doing nothing for our people.

[08:03:40] And we just deserve fighters.

[08:03:42] What's your dishries demographics look like?

[08:03:45] It is predominantly people of color.

[08:03:47] And so it covers Harlem, Washington Heights, Inwood,

[08:03:50] El Barrio, all the way up to Kingsbridge and Bronx.

[08:03:54] And so it's mostly Latino, black American, black immigrant

[08:03:59] community. More and more, there are more young white folks moving in. But it is a very young

[08:04:06] district. It is also the second poorest in the state and by some measures the country.

[08:04:12] And I think it's just outrageous that any one of the poorest districts in the country

[08:04:17] rents us $4,000 for a two-bedroom apartment. And so, you know, that's bad as in bed with

[08:04:24] these corporate landlords who, you know, don't care about the conditions in our building.

[08:04:28] the other day, there was actually a fire on Inwood, in Inwood,

[08:04:33] Dijkman and Broadway that killed three people, I think, as of

[08:04:37] yesterday for. And it's just, you know, this, this is the

[08:04:41] conditions that folks are forced to live under with no

[08:04:44] regard to the lives of the people who live in our district. And

[08:04:47] our representatives are actively turning a blind eye to this

[08:04:51] because they're bankrolled by these by these corporations.

[08:04:54] Are we getting them on the bad landlord list?

[08:04:56] all the folks who that building was in, they were already being sued actually for another

[08:05:01] building that was adjacent to it that had like numerous violations that were caused.

[08:05:09] So what do you guys think about the fact that you're in three totally different parts of

[08:05:14] the country and yet a lot of the things that you're advocating for, you're all running

[08:05:19] for Congress, a lot of things that you're advocating for are very similar.

[08:05:23] Do you feel like there's a universality to many of the problems that we're experiencing?

[08:05:28] Now, obviously, all three of these districts are blue districts, right?

[08:05:32] So people make that argument.

[08:05:35] People can be like, this doesn't work elsewhere.

[08:05:36] But I disagree with that notion.

[08:05:39] I think that these are issues that every American in every district is facing, because I wanted

[08:05:45] to hear from all three of you individually, like what are, if I were to ask you right

[08:05:51] now, what are the top three concerns?

[08:05:52] I want to hear what you have to say.

[08:05:55] Like what are the top three concerns for your,

[08:05:57] for your constituencies, like in the district you're on?

[08:06:00] Yeah, I mean, in my district, it's housing,

[08:06:04] the rising cost of housing, it's healthcare,

[08:06:07] and it's immigration.

[08:06:09] Like folks are really afraid of ice

[08:06:10] and the way that it's impacting our communities.

[08:06:14] Okay, I didn't hear giving more money to Israel,

[08:06:18] which is kind of awkward.

[08:06:19] Yeah, and you know, like I think,

[08:06:21] I say those three, but I also think like one of the really big things that folks forget

[08:06:25] about is also the cost of raising a kid in New York.

[08:06:30] And part of why I think that gets off the ignore is because the people who want families

[08:06:33] in New York feel like they have to leave to raise a child.

[08:06:37] So you know, both the framework and the platform that we're running on is a Baby's Not Bombs

[08:06:43] framework, because I really do think that all the things that our kids need, healthcare,

[08:06:47] education, housing, are things that all of us need that make our entire community thrive

[08:06:51] And so if we're actually putting our funds towards that,

[08:06:55] instead of these senseless wars, instead of a genocide,

[08:06:59] we would not only be saving lives abroad,

[08:07:01] we would be helping the lives of our communities thrive.

[08:07:06] It's honestly the same in LA, in the heart of LA,

[08:07:09] housing, healthcare, and immigration.

[08:07:12] People, I have known my whole life,

[08:07:14] are carrying their passports just to leave their home.

[08:07:17] And they're like, I don't know, they look like me.

[08:07:21] And so that's scary, and I think also the cool thing

[08:07:25] about our campaign being student led

[08:07:27] is that we're in every college classroom

[08:07:29] that we can be in right now.

[08:07:30] And I think that the conversation people are having,

[08:07:33] even not college classrooms,

[08:07:35] we're in fourth grade classrooms,

[08:07:36] we're talking to high school students

[08:07:37] because they're gonna have to live with

[08:07:39] the consequences of our choices too.

[08:07:41] And our future belongs to us, it belongs to them.

[08:07:43] And they're not having a hard time

[08:07:46] connecting the dots between like,

[08:07:48] why is the cost of living,

[08:07:49] getting in the way of us living our lives here,

[08:07:51] and we're providing all of these things,

[08:07:53] not only to Israel, but the Israeli government

[08:07:56] and the APEC lobby are complicit

[08:08:00] in political corruption and genocide right now.

[08:08:02] Like, no one's having a hard time

[08:08:04] connecting the dots in LA,

[08:08:06] and we're really calling for an end to these data centers,

[08:08:11] you know, invading parts of California,

[08:08:14] like Monterey Park, not too far from my district,

[08:08:16] all while our representatives are taking millions of dollars from big AI too, which is the new AIPAC.

[08:08:23] And they're also taking money from AIPAC, you know, but I think that it's been very clear that we've been forced to buy the scraps that the establishment is selling us,

[08:08:33] all while they're selling out our communities and we're really fighting in LA to get corporate money's influence out of our politics period like yesterday,

[08:08:41] And that includes in the Democratic Party and in a safe blue seat like yours

[08:08:45] There's no reason why we should accept anything less than

[08:08:49] Someone progressive or that will fight for us not against us, you know

[08:08:54] What about you? Yeah

[08:08:56] I would say housing and health care and also Trump like you know, Colorado is the only state in the country actually go more blue

[08:09:03] in the last presidential election and

[08:09:06] We start program

[08:09:08] Okay, yeah. Land the plan. We want to line up and get ready.

[08:09:12] Alright. Well, we're going to... I'm going to interview you later.

[08:09:16] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[08:09:18] What's up, Joy-Con? Thanks for bringing the data together.

[08:09:22] Thank you. Thank you for doing this.

[08:09:24] I'm so excited to be here. We need to get a light rail, so I don't have to...

[08:09:29] Right.

[08:09:30] Six hours.

[08:09:31] You drove up here?

[08:09:33] We did.

[08:09:34] Six hours.

[08:09:35] Wow.

[08:09:36] Well, I'm gonna say it was so good.

[08:09:38] Really?

[08:09:39] Okay, never have to regret it.

[08:09:46] Are we walking? Are we going?

[08:09:48] I don't think you're going.

[08:09:50] Oh, am I just here? I'm waiting?

[08:09:52] How's...

[08:09:54] I'm not going out yet?

[08:09:59] Am I also going out or am I staying in here?

[08:10:03] Oh, I'm not...

[08:10:06] Yeah, if you want.

[08:10:09] You can chill with your allies.

[08:10:11] Yeah.

[08:10:12] So I'll give you your options.

[08:10:14] You can stay up here, or you can come down with a stage and there's a little runway back to the bus stop.

[08:10:19] So we've got you like a viewing booth, or there's a lot of your options.

[08:10:24] Okay, I'll just stay up here, it's fine.

[08:10:26] Okay, cool.

[08:10:27] Can I check out that viewing box?

[08:10:29] I'm gonna leave the camera here.

[08:10:31] I'm looking at the...

[08:10:34] Programming, yeah.

[08:10:36] Do you want like a five-minute warning? I can come...

[08:10:39] Yeah, yeah.

[08:10:40] I'll let you know when Bowman's going on and we'll...

[08:10:44] Okay.

[08:10:45] Move downstairs.

[08:10:46] Perfect.

[08:10:47] Alright, where are you going to sit?

[08:10:49] What?

[08:10:50] You're going to sit?

[08:10:51] I'm going to sit right in the same place.

[08:10:53] Sit down.

[08:10:55] Sit your eyes down, boy.

[08:10:57] Send him out? Am I about to cry out?

[08:10:59] Dude, do I look like I'm in Thailand?

[08:11:01] They will eat me alive.

[08:11:02] What?

[08:11:03] They will eat me alive?

[08:11:04] You're gonna do that?

[08:11:05] Yeah.

[08:11:06] I'm also...

[08:11:07] He's not benched in Korea.

[08:11:08] There's 700 counter protestors in Korea.

[08:11:11] Mm-hmm.

[08:11:12] The audience is entirely comprised of counter protestors I heard.

[08:11:16] Yeah.

[08:11:17] Yeah.

[08:11:18] You're right.

[08:11:19] Not very neurotypical of you with this song?

[08:11:22] I'm not.

[08:11:23] What's that?

[08:11:24] I'm not very neurotypical.

[08:11:25] So that's probably the reason why it's not very New York typical of me.

[08:11:30] But yeah, March is going to set up the tripod for the speakers and that's why he's gone

[08:11:41] and that's why we're going to stay with the camera.

[08:11:45] Yeah, what's up man?

[08:11:47] Hey, who's that guy next to you?

[08:11:49] Nice to meet you.

[08:11:50] Yeah, I'm Keiron.

[08:11:51] He's my co-founder and that's the Democrat.

[08:11:52] He's like, awesome Bernie.

[08:11:53] Hell yeah.

[08:11:54] Yeah, I hired him on the first day.

[08:11:56] Yeah.

[08:11:57] It's dope.

[08:11:58] It's mild.

[08:11:59] I mean, I'm exhausted from being on camera for like an hour just now.

[08:12:03] Yeah, no.

[08:12:04] I mean, I'm used to it.

[08:12:05] I'm used to it.

[08:12:06] You get, you develop it.

[08:12:07] It's like a muscle.

[08:12:08] Right.

[08:12:09] And then, and then it's second nature.

[08:12:12] You just keep yapping.

[08:12:13] You never stop.

[08:12:14] And then it's fine.

[08:12:15] Are you actually streaming now?

[08:12:17] Yeah, I'm live streaming right now.

[08:12:18] Really?

[08:12:19] Yeah, yeah.

[08:12:20] There's like 20,000 people watching right now.

[08:12:21] There's comments.

[08:12:22] Yeah.

[08:12:23] I've been talking to 20,000 people all the time.

[08:12:25] Yeah.

[08:12:27] Pretty much the entire day.

[08:12:29] But this is exciting.

[08:12:33] How many people show up?

[08:12:34] What's the event?

[08:12:36] Eight-Ox-Teen.

[08:12:37] The capacity is 12-Ox-Teen.

[08:12:38] I think you can find it out yet.

[08:12:39] Oh, wow.

[08:12:40] OK.

[08:12:41] We had over 2,000 artists with beats.

[08:12:43] I'm going to slam another rebel, right?

[08:12:45] Like 10 minutes before.

[08:12:47] I remember like 25, 30 minutes before I speak.

[08:12:50] so I will be more hyped up.

[08:12:53] I don't want to disappoint.

[08:12:55] I'm gonna come up there and be like,

[08:12:55] oh, what's up guys?

[08:12:59] And I'll say all of the worst things, don't worry.

[08:13:04] So that you get wonderful coverage

[08:13:06] from all of the press outlets out here.

[08:13:09] One of the craziest things,

[08:13:11] I genuinely, like my chat labs about this a lot,

[08:13:14] the craziest thing that I've received

[08:13:16] from the San Francisco specific lines of the tag word,

[08:13:21] like that I'm anti-Asian, which is insane,

[08:13:24] because normally, it's RNC research,

[08:13:26] normally says I'm too pro-China,

[08:13:28] because I say we shouldn't wage war with China.

[08:13:31] They treat that as like always pro-China.

[08:13:34] It's always like a bad thing to be like,

[08:13:37] why are we trying to actively wage war with a country

[08:13:40] that is responsible for a 30% of our trade?

[08:13:43] I don't know, well, they're trying to find me as anti-Asian.

[08:13:45] but you're asian

[08:13:47] i mean technically i'm asian too but like not that asian you know what i mean i'm like

[08:13:50] on turkish so i can't i can't

[08:13:53] it doesn't count it's not like

[08:13:56] uh... it's not it's not asian in the in the a-p-i-sense

[08:14:00] or in the american sense

[08:14:03] but

[08:14:04] yeah

[08:14:15] It didn't go by fast. It didn't go by fast. Yeah, it's just an hour.

[08:14:22] It depends on how long you talk and how long everybody's been told 5 minutes or 10 minutes.

[08:14:28] Oh, I won't. I won't talk that much.

[08:14:30] Typically, traditionally, that turns into 20 or 30 minutes.

[08:14:34] Are you serious?

[08:14:36] The song that was the most in Cuba was here.

[08:14:39] Oh, I'm thinking about that.

[08:14:41] I'll tell you, I would have to go up there.

[08:14:44] I was in Cuba a year ago, and people are coming through the whole country, and I'm not stupid in China, but I'm just thinking of China for a year now.

[08:14:53] Oh you did? Wow.

[08:14:55] Have you been back?

[08:14:57] Yeah.

[08:14:59] And I can't believe you're coming.

[08:15:02] Yeah, none of the biggest reforms.

[08:15:06] It was right before all of them. It was wily.

[08:15:09] I feel like that system doesn't exist anywhere around the world anymore, I mean even in Cuba.

[08:15:25] I don't know, it's a really interesting thing to talk about, I mean, I think we're, yeah,

[08:15:33] it's, so I don't know, but I think it's time to start thinking about all that, because

[08:15:39] everything we've done over the next few years, the professionals, this is what we're working

[08:15:47] on, a new consensus of the big tank for, that's what we're trying to start, and, you know,

[08:15:52] So the plan we're working on is called the mission for America.

[08:15:55] But really, there's also a mission for humanity.

[08:15:57] Yeah.

[08:15:58] And it's like, right now, the thing everybody said about

[08:16:02] the Green New Deal was, it won't work because we can't find

[08:16:06] the workers to do all that work.

[08:16:08] So that's going to be chain of things.

[08:16:10] And let me, hold on.

[08:16:12] Chad, can you guys hear?

[08:16:13] Can you guys hear?

[08:16:14] Yeah, Zach, run your phone over here.

[08:16:15] Yeah, can you hear Zach?

[08:16:17] Or no.

[08:16:19] Because he's telling me he's kicking game right now.

[08:16:22] We're saying.

[08:16:23] Yeah, sure.

[08:16:24] Get out of here.

[08:16:25] Zach's got way more interesting conversations.

[08:16:27] He said he studied in China as a teenager in 87, he said.

[08:16:32] 87, 88.

[08:16:33] Yeah.

[08:16:34] He was truly communist.

[08:16:35] Everybody called each other a comrade.

[08:16:37] That's how they addressed each other.

[08:16:38] Yeah.

[08:16:39] Blue comrade?

[08:16:40] He's anti-Dinke's now.

[08:16:41] Anti-Dinke's work arms.

[08:16:42] So they betrayed the Mao's principles.

[08:16:45] No, but the thing is, I'm curious what you think about this, is like, you know, it really

[08:16:51] seems like a near human equivalent and scalable human equivalent of AI is going to show up

[08:16:58] on the Google Meets in the next few years.

[08:17:02] And then without any investment, we're going to be able to, you know, the corporations

[08:17:06] are going to be able to replace every professional, every knowledge worker, right?

[08:17:12] And what do you think is going to happen in that?

[08:17:13] First of all, I don't have that much faith in AI as you do.

[08:17:18] I know.

[08:17:19] But you live in San Francisco or no?

[08:17:22] I live between San Francisco and San Francisco.

[08:17:24] That's the San Francisco talking.

[08:17:26] But no, but I'm using it.

[08:17:29] My point is, even if that were to happen,

[08:17:32] that would be devastating for the labor force, obviously.

[08:17:36] My principle on this always has been

[08:17:38] that I love technological improvements.

[08:17:40] It's great, but it's supposed to not offset or displace

[08:17:43] the existing labor force.

[08:17:45] It's supposed to lower the lift, lower the burden

[08:17:47] of the existing labor force.

[08:17:48] And it's a radically different approach to how productivity is supposed to work.

[08:17:54] In some ways it is a Chinese approach.

[08:17:56] You know the famous Milton Friedman Ghost in China and is talking to the factory workers

[08:18:02] and he says, why do you guys not use tools?

[08:18:05] Why do you guys not use more industrial equipment instead of these shovels?

[08:18:10] And the factory manager says, well, this is jobs.

[08:18:13] This is creating more jobs.

[08:18:15] And then he says, oh, well, I want to use a spoon, then.

[08:18:19] And obviously China won't make it.

[08:18:21] They're done.

[08:18:22] Yeah, and that was the attitude.

[08:18:24] But I think it's a little bit of both.

[08:18:28] Obviously, you're supposed to use the industrial equipment.

[08:18:31] Obviously, you're supposed to take advantage

[08:18:33] of the technological advancements,

[08:18:35] the technological benefits, to increase efficiency,

[08:18:38] increase productivity.

[08:18:40] But productivity from the capitalist perspective

[08:18:43] implies less workers doing the same amount of jobs or even more jobs, more output with

[08:18:50] a smaller labor force. My perspective is increase the output if you want, increase the productivity

[08:18:58] if you want, but keep the labor force the same, or even add additional workers to labor

[08:19:04] force and lower their lift. Like if we have the capacity to make one person do the job

[08:19:12] of 10, that shouldn't mean we fire nine people. There should be safeguards that make it better.

[08:19:19] I think we have to approach it from a whole different direction though. And the thing

[08:19:21] is it's so new and weird that it's hard to even approach this, right? But the thing is

[08:19:27] we've got this huge global to-do list of stuff that we have to do. That we're literally

[08:19:32] destroying the planet and 7 billion people are living in poverty, right? So we've got

[08:19:38] this huge to-do list of stuff we need to build. We need to build clean energy, we need to build

[08:19:43] good housing, good transportation, you know, pharmaceutical factories. There's so much

[08:19:47] stuff we need to build. We need to tear down pretty much the entire physical economy and

[08:19:52] replace it with a clean one that's not destroying the planet. So this is a huge to-do list, right?

[08:19:57] And right now, there's no workers to do it because they're all doing bullshit jobs.

[08:20:01] Yeah, right and or the gig economy big bullshit. Yeah. Yeah, which is another form of bullshit jobs

[08:20:08] It's the it's the 80% driving the 20% around delivering their thordash, right?

[08:20:14] so but the thing is we I really think that we're moving into this revolutionary moment because I do think that a

[08:20:22] you know a scalable human equivalent is what we say of

[08:20:26] AI is going to show up and

[08:20:29] And once that exists, then, and you know,

[08:20:33] software developers already have this.

[08:20:34] Like I've always been a coder my whole life

[08:20:36] and I build, you know, I'm an amateur software developer

[08:20:40] these days and yet I can build whole apps in like a day,

[08:20:44] you know, but the thing is it's working with AI

[08:20:47] on these projects is like working with a person,

[08:20:51] but it's like, like I used to manage software developers.

[08:20:54] It's so much better to manage this AI software developer.

[08:20:57] It's like the most amazing, like, human, you know?

[08:21:01] It's like, it's not a robot.

[08:21:03] It's like, it's, you know, in all the ways

[08:21:06] that you want somebody to be human who you're working with,

[08:21:09] it's better than the typical person.

[08:21:11] I would love to show you this.

[08:21:12] I wanna come and like show you how this actually works

[08:21:15] if nobody's shown you this before.

[08:21:16] I'm a Luddite.

[08:21:17] And I know I wanna show you this because it's not.

[08:21:19] I'm a Luddite in like the actual OG sense of a Luddite

[08:21:23] where I'm like, I mean, I'm not a Luddite.

[08:21:26] I understand the benefits of exponential growth in technology, but I also am very worried

[08:21:33] about the human component and what it does.

[08:21:37] I'm also worried about cognitive offloading, too, which is something that I worry about

[08:21:42] quite a bit, but I feel like this is a very boomer fear to have.

[08:21:47] The idea that we're displacing a part of our brain function.

[08:21:52] But that's the thing it could be like we can if we can if we choose the world that we're gonna have

[08:21:56] It's gonna be amazing, right if we don't choose and we just let the replacement happen

[08:22:01] We descend it's like I you know, I feel like we've got

[08:22:05] Two choices. There's the mad Max future and there's the Star Trek future, you know

[08:22:10] Or maybe there's did you ever see that Matt Damon movie of LEC?

[08:22:13] I was literally just thinking that I

[08:22:16] That's like the UBI future, you know

[08:22:18] No, I think I think of lesium is the most likely future. Yeah, where you have like a group of haves and then the overwhelming majority of the have-nots and

[08:22:26] They're being enslaved by the robot overlords and the humans are in an ivory tower quite literally

[08:22:32] Or altered carbon. Yeah, or away from you know away from the the working class. That's like turning

[08:22:38] Yeah, but here's the thing

[08:22:40] This is what I think is important for the left to get is that there's going to be this revolutionary moment

[08:22:45] it could come as soon as a couple years from now or a few years from now when the whole

[08:22:51] professional managerial class is sitting at home unable to make their house payments.

[08:22:56] That really could happen because when, because you know if you're going to automate a factory

[08:23:00] that takes time, you have to build the robots and bring them in and rearrange everything.

[08:23:05] But if you have a worker that appears on Google Meet and can control your computer, right,

[08:23:12] Imagine all the people working in a company working with this AI helper, but the same

[08:23:20] AI helper working with everybody all across the company, like the CEO after like three

[08:23:25] days of that is just going to talk to the AI and say, so you can just do all this.

[08:23:30] We don't need the people anymore.

[08:23:31] And there's no investment necessary.

[08:23:34] The wires are all there.

[08:23:38] It's like all of the, the whole 40% of our workforce just does their job on computers.

[08:23:45] And they're just creating a data stream and AI is going to be able to create that data

[08:23:48] stream.

[08:23:50] And you know, like Sam Alvin says that AI CEO is going to be able to take over from

[08:23:58] him in two years, you know, or less.

[08:24:01] And he could be right actually.

[08:24:03] But the thing is, when that happens, like you know, the whole reason we haven't been

[08:24:07] able to have the revolution for all these centuries in Europe and the US is

[08:24:11] because this huge middle class loves being so much better off than everybody

[08:24:17] else you know you know they literally would have guns you know to put down

[08:24:22] strikes you know in the middle class would come out this upper middle class

[08:24:25] would come out and you know they knew where their interests lied because they

[08:24:29] just wanted to be better off than everybody else and soon it could be

[08:24:33] that they're all sitting at home without jobs, you know?

[08:24:38] And there's gonna be an AI lefty streamer

[08:24:41] that's really funny and really awesome,

[08:24:43] even better looking than you.

[08:24:44] And then even you will then suddenly become,

[08:24:48] your class interests are gonna flip

[08:24:49] and it's gonna be all over.

[08:24:51] Oh, I'm a bit of a class failure already.

[08:24:56] Like my thing is,

[08:24:58] like all of these,

[08:24:59] All these technological advantages are great, but at the end of the day we are so subservient

[08:25:09] to the interest of capital that what you're describing is a devastating future.

[08:25:15] Unless we have the revolution in that moment.

[08:25:19] I don't think it's like the solution I don't necessarily believe is redistributed policies

[08:25:25] necessarily but more so having a bottom-up approach entirely rather than one where I mean

[08:25:33] the current the current process we have is you know tremendous wealth consolidation in

[08:25:39] the hands of a few at the top and that's it's gotten only worse year over year in the last

[08:25:45] couple of decades and it's it's only going to accelerate with this AI and I feel like

[08:25:49] those guys are just not going to give up no matter what happens but they're not going

[08:25:52] have the option because capitalism needs customers and if there are no

[08:25:58] customers if everybody's sitting at home with no money yeah then it's like a

[08:26:01] heart attack it seizes up and can't function so then there's gonna be this

[08:26:05] moment to where we say okay the thing is everybody's sitting at home not working

[08:26:10] but we have this enormous global to-do list we have to build the clean energy

[08:26:16] we have to build the transportation we have to build good housing for people

[08:26:19] And I don't think those guys care about that sort of thing. They're not gonna be in charge anymore if we actually

[08:26:25] Take advantage of this moment that's coming

[08:26:27] but you you know, it's like

[08:26:29] When when when the when the professional managerial class is sitting at home with no income

[08:26:35] That's a real revolutionary moment and like if the left doesn't seize that moment and give those people direction

[08:26:42] We know which way they're gonna go. Yeah, no, they're gonna become more reactionary than even before

[08:26:47] before. But the thing is like, you know, the new right that we have is smart enough, at

[08:26:52] least some of them, to propose something to those people when they're sitting at home

[08:26:57] unemployed. And it's going to be really fucking terrifying.

[08:27:00] Yeah, but their proposition is also the same as like, what you hear from liberals as well,

[08:27:05] which is you can become a part of the entrepreneur class. Like, you can also take advantage of

[08:27:09] this AI boom. You can also become an entrepreneur and you can become endlessly wealthy.

[08:27:17] and a part of the ruling class.

[08:27:20] That upward social mobility obviously doesn't exist,

[08:27:22] but I think we see that more and more.

[08:27:25] That's why there's so many more victims

[08:27:27] of diseases of despair, gambling addicts, left and right.

[08:27:31] There's a casinification of virtually every aspect

[08:27:35] of our lives, Calci, Polymarket, predicted,

[08:27:39] all of these other like betting apps

[08:27:40] that where you can shred up bet on, you know, profits,

[08:27:45] but instead on the news.

[08:27:48] And I think that's a byproduct of this exact same issue,

[08:27:51] where people are completely given up on the idea

[08:27:54] that they can have any sort of stable, reliable income

[08:27:58] and live a normal life and be a productive member

[08:28:02] of society, so everyone is looking for that shortcut

[08:28:04] out of desperation.

[08:28:07] So.

[08:28:07] And it's capitalism filling in every single nook and cranny

[08:28:11] of our society with stuff you can,

[08:28:15] with ways to spend money on bad stuff.

[08:28:17] So, ways to spend money to ruin your life.

[08:28:20] Yeah, of course.

[08:28:21] I mean, it's almost gotta make money, you know?

[08:28:26] And there's no better way,

[08:28:28] there's no better way to make money

[08:28:29] than to lean into the desperation

[08:28:32] of the overwhelming majority of new jobless individuals.

[08:28:38] So, I don't know where that goes,

[08:28:41] but I don't think it's a great future

[08:28:43] unless we change something and change something fast.

[08:28:46] Yeah, well, but I think we, you know,

[08:28:48] we couldn't have a terrible future,

[08:28:49] but we really could have an amazing future

[08:28:51] because like, I don't know, like,

[08:28:54] did you follow the whole thing that went down

[08:28:56] with Sri Lanka when there was this moment

[08:28:59] when they, it was just like three or four years ago,

[08:29:03] and they made a bunch of screwy decisions

[08:29:07] and into the government.

[08:29:09] And they literally were completely out of fuel.

[08:29:12] And it's an island, right?

[08:29:14] They're out of fuel, out of food.

[08:29:18] People were about to starve.

[08:29:19] They were living off the fruit from these trees, right?

[08:29:23] And in that moment, and it's a really

[08:29:26] politically divided country, the entire country,

[08:29:29] like everybody, hit the streets,

[08:29:32] just like automatically, they took over the

[08:29:35] presidential palace and everything,

[08:29:36] threw the government out and yeah and now they've got this great new government

[08:29:42] you know and but it's like in that situation and we're seeing that all

[08:29:46] over the world like there have been a bunch of cases like that and if we get

[08:29:50] this AI total wipeout like we're gonna have a global moment when that happens

[08:29:54] and like everybody's wanting the general strike to happen but like it's gonna

[08:29:58] happen in a reverse way where everybody's gonna be out of work and this

[08:30:02] has happened a million times before like that's where most of the big

[08:30:05] revolutions came from it was in a moment when all of a sudden everybody was

[08:30:10] sitting at home with nothing and something had to change so yeah I think

[08:30:15] I've got to guide it then we're really gonna be fucked I agree I mean we're

[08:30:20] definitely an agreement there I don't think that the like average working

[08:30:24] class conditions are bad enough right now for them to genuinely want to

[08:30:31] implement the change.

[08:30:32] No, but you know, it's a big,

[08:30:35] but I think we gotta be ready for this change

[08:30:37] because I know it sounds crazy

[08:30:39] that there's gonna be people on our screens at work

[08:30:44] and that they can actually take all of our jobs,

[08:30:46] but if it starts happening,

[08:30:48] then we gotta take action.

[08:30:52] I wonder if it is a time for,

[08:30:54] I wanna make sure you're not leaving.

[08:30:55] No, no, no, I'm waiting.

[08:30:57] I got like 30 more minutes, I think.

[08:30:59] Okay.

[08:31:00] Yeah.

[08:31:01] All right, well, don't let me monopolize the string of bugs.

[08:31:03] No, no, it's all good.

[08:31:05] It's a unique perspective, for sure.

[08:31:07] I'm not, like I said, myself and my community are very,

[08:31:12] like I'm very anti-AI, I never use AI.

[08:31:15] I don't even use, I don't use like any LLMs,

[08:31:19] any like, what's it called, the image generators.

[08:31:23] Yeah.

[08:31:24] Generative AI.

[08:31:25] Yeah, generative AI, I don't use any of that.

[08:31:26] I feel like it's just like my friend Staros, he's a comedian, he once said, you know, all

[08:31:34] of this stuff was supposed to be so that like the AI and the robots were doing the route

[08:31:39] pass and media labor and we were supposed to do the art and have time for ourselves.

[08:31:45] And now you got the AI doing the art and people are stuck in Amazon distribution facilities.

[08:31:49] What the fuck happened?

[08:31:50] Yeah.

[08:31:51] And he's right.

[08:31:52] Like I feel like it's one of, I know the reason why they do generative AI.

[08:31:55] they have to make it more popular for the consumer

[08:31:58] so they can like generate hype around it,

[08:32:00] so they can justify all these like increasing,

[08:32:04] increasing the larger budgets and,

[08:32:06] it's crazy.

[08:32:07] Well, it's capitalism, they're gonna give us

[08:32:08] whatever they think people will pay for.

[08:32:11] That's why Sam Altman was thinking,

[08:32:12] so what if I just do AI porn and, you know.

[08:32:14] Yeah, so what do you think about that's also

[08:32:17] unbelievably unethical, but what do you think about

[08:32:22] China's competitiveness in the field of AI

[08:32:24] considering that they have, I guess, like, different interests?

[08:32:30] No, this is what's amazing.

[08:32:31] Do you think they're focusing on AI

[08:32:33] because they also see it as the new frontier,

[08:32:35] or do you think they're focusing on AI

[08:32:37] to undermine the American AI bubble?

[08:32:39] Like, they see it as a bubble and they wanna attack it

[08:32:43] to the best of their ability,

[08:32:44] and maybe even destroy the American stock market.

[08:32:47] Well, all of the above, probably, and some more.

[08:32:50] But it's actually really important to think about

[08:32:52] China AI thing because you know that like I really think the AI bubble in the

[08:32:57] US is about to crash and a big reason for that is you know how like open AI and

[08:33:02] anthropic they both need to like make five trillion dollars in the future in

[08:33:07] the next five years to pay back you know to be actually be profitable and that

[08:33:12] means that people will have to pay a big premium for those products but the

[08:33:16] problem is these open source models from China which are incredibly cheap but

[08:33:21] you can also run them yourself for free,

[08:33:24] are just as good, they're almost as good.

[08:33:26] But that's precisely the reason why I said,

[08:33:28] don't you feel like it's a direct shot at

[08:33:31] what is currently propping up all of our gains?

[08:33:35] Because all of our gains currently,

[08:33:36] as Larkmar is coming from AI,

[08:33:38] it's like five companies that are exchanging

[08:33:40] the same billions of dollars.

[08:33:43] They're handing it around.

[08:33:44] Circulating it around.

[08:33:46] It's increasing the GDP, it's great.

[08:33:48] But no one is actually seeing anything from it,

[08:33:51] there's not really any real economic activity

[08:33:54] beyond number of board.

[08:33:57] And it's unbelievably easy for China to just be like,

[08:34:00] here's the free version of what you guys spent,

[08:34:03] you know, almost a trillion dollars on.

[08:34:06] Yeah, exactly.

[08:34:07] And there should be a bunch of US companies doing it too,

[08:34:11] but it's the same with EVs,

[08:34:13] like the US startup culture is lazy.

[08:34:16] Like US DCs want to put money into crypto.

[08:34:20] You know, they have no interest in actually building stuff.

[08:34:24] But I don't think that it's like,

[08:34:29] I'm sure Chinese leaders are getting a kick out

[08:34:33] of the way they're maybe going to set off this bursting

[08:34:38] of the bubble in the US.

[08:34:40] But I don't think that that's their main goal.

[08:34:42] Like Chinese capitalism is just, it just

[08:34:47] goes for every single market, every single product.

[08:34:50] That's what they've been doing for years and years.

[08:34:53] They're really good at it.

[08:34:54] The state plays a huge role and helps subsidize stuff

[08:34:58] and encourages stuff.

[08:35:00] But it's really capitalism.

[08:35:02] I think it's, in the pure Lennonist sense,

[08:35:06] is this state monopoly capitalism.

[08:35:09] It's not like, I believe that, I believe when the Chinese

[08:35:13] say that they are in a transitional socialist state.

[08:35:16] I think that they have tremendous control over flows of capital and we've seen them redirected

[08:35:21] from real estate when they wanted to build a lot of housing and they wanted to build

[08:35:26] it fast and they wanted to build it and expand it and then we saw all these like tier one

[08:35:31] cities pop up.

[08:35:32] We saw all these cities develop tremendously and then they were like, all right, the next

[08:35:37] frontier in the next five year plan is going to be EVs, solar panels, solar energy, we're

[08:35:42] going to focus more efforts on that.

[08:35:44] and all of the automated factories, yeah.

[08:35:47] Yeah, and then boom, immediately flows of capital

[08:35:50] move in that direction.

[08:35:52] And the companies are very responsive to it

[08:35:57] because they kind of understand.

[08:35:59] It's a unique dynamic.

[08:36:00] It's not like direct state enforcement, but it works.

[08:36:04] In some ways, you know, black cat, white cat,

[08:36:06] as long as it catches the rat is kind of the pragmatic

[08:36:11] principle behind it.

[08:36:12] And I do think it's been unbelievably successful so far.

[08:36:16] Well, I think we're going to see whether China is

[08:36:20] able to do that transition.

[08:36:21] And it's going to come down to leadership.

[08:36:24] And because they're going to have tons of,

[08:36:26] they already have tons and tons of unemployed people,

[08:36:29] all these educated people who are moving back

[08:36:30] to their hometown villages and like,

[08:36:34] and it's going to be a huge problem for them.

[08:36:36] And they need, they're going to,

[08:36:37] we're all going to be contending with the same thing.

[08:36:40] And so the utopian scenario is when AI shows up and capitalism

[08:36:46] is using it to unemployed everybody,

[08:36:50] the utopian scenario is that the US

[08:36:53] has a president that can work with the Chinese leaders.

[08:36:57] And because basically all of AI is just in these two countries,

[08:37:02] and these are going to be the centers of this whole wipeout.

[08:37:06] And if we can all transition to a new way of doing things.

[08:37:12] And you don't really.

[08:37:13] How do you envision that?

[08:37:14] Like what's your, what's your purpose scenario?

[08:37:16] You wake up, you're just a regular guy.

[08:37:18] You don't do any, you don't have like a,

[08:37:21] you can pursue the arts, sciences, whatever you want now.

[08:37:25] And you know how to go to work like in the future.

[08:37:27] Yeah, like you don't go to work.

[08:37:29] Is that what you're saying?

[08:37:30] Yeah, no, no, no.

[08:37:31] I think that, like I said,

[08:37:32] we've got this huge global to-do list

[08:37:33] of stuff that needs to get done, right?

[08:37:35] And also, you know, like our society is a mess.

[08:37:39] Our economy is a mess.

[08:37:40] We're destroying the planet with everything we do, right?

[08:37:43] And we're not, you know, and people are living

[08:37:45] in terrible housing, you know, with the roofs collapsing.

[08:37:48] Like that's how half of Americans are living.

[08:37:51] So we've got so much stuff we have to do.

[08:37:53] So imagine if these layoffs come really fast.

[08:37:57] Imagine if the president, the president is gonna have a,

[08:38:00] they're gonna have to say something.

[08:38:02] Cause like all these people are,

[08:38:03] All the rich people are going to be

[08:38:06] about to get evicted from their homes, right?

[08:38:08] Like anybody that was actually living on their big salary,

[08:38:11] as opposed to the people that have already

[08:38:13] made their millions, they're going to get evicted, right?

[08:38:17] So the whole professional managerial class,

[08:38:20] all the knowledge workers are about to get turned out

[08:38:22] of their homes because they can't make their payments.

[08:38:25] And so in that moment, what is the president going to say?

[08:38:29] So you know how like when Roosevelt,

[08:38:31] everybody was taking their money out of the banks

[08:38:33] and the banks were all gonna collapse.

[08:38:34] He did the fireside chat.

[08:38:36] Have you ever listened to that?

[08:38:37] It's an amazing thing to listen to.

[08:38:39] He like explains to people, here's what's happening.

[08:38:43] This is why capitalism isn't working right now.

[08:38:45] This is why capitalism is about to collapse.

[08:38:49] But, and he wanted to keep capitalism going, of course.

[08:38:51] So he's like, so here's what we need to do.

[08:38:54] And he walked them all through it.

[08:38:55] He's like, we're shutting down the banks,

[08:38:57] leave your money, don't worry,

[08:38:58] did it, did it, did it, all this other stuff.

[08:39:00] And he, and everybody was like,

[08:39:02] Ah, people were terrified, and he gave them this reassuring message and-

[08:39:07] There's also a lot more consolidation of media at the time, too.

[08:39:11] I feel like-

[08:39:12] Yeah, but when everybody's sitting at home,

[08:39:14] when everybody's sitting at home, like, terrified because they just lost their jobs

[08:39:18] and everybody they know lost their jobs,

[08:39:20] people are going to listen to the president.

[08:39:22] It's not like they're not going to be paying attention.

[08:39:24] And so imagine if the president says,

[08:39:27] here's what we're going to do.

[08:39:29] You know like there's there's mainstream democratic policy people

[08:39:34] Seeing this coming and they're suggesting that what the president should say is everybody gets to keep their house

[08:39:40] So the banks are all about to go out of business because everybody's defaulting on their mortgages

[08:39:45] And this isn't that weird of a scenario. It was happening in 2008, you know

[08:39:48] So the banks were all gonna go out of business

[08:39:52] This is great exactly and so imagine the president says, okay

[08:39:56] We just converted all the banks into not-for-profits, and now everybody gets to keep their house.

[08:40:09] It sounds weird, but what are you saying is letting everybody get evicted.

[08:40:13] I'm laughing because I think it's going to be, given the current trend lines, I'm assuming

[08:40:19] that when that inevitability takes shape, the president is going to say, we're sending

[08:40:25] Robot policemen did it every single day exactly from your house. We're gonna put you in a concentration camp

[08:40:31] We will work and we will grind your bones right us

[08:40:35] But this is why but the thing is I think that's the most more likely

[08:40:39] Well, that's what's gonna happen if J. Hevance is president. Okay, but here's why I'm a little bit optimistic is if you're

[08:40:47] Gavin Newsom right and like our hatred of Gavin Newsom is is equivalent at least equivalent

[08:40:52] But I think Gavin Newsom would be the president that also does that well

[08:40:56] But but think about it if you're actually Gavin Newsom, right?

[08:40:59] And you want to be remembered as somebody that succeeded, right?

[08:41:02] And if everyone including your friends like I really think this situation is different than anything we have ever been able to imagine, right?

[08:41:10] if everyone including your friends are

[08:41:14] Out of work, right? And your companies are going out of business, right?

[08:41:17] and every because there are no customers the entire economy is collapsing and if

[08:41:22] there's a really clear solution to seize it to follow then I think maybe he'll go

[08:41:29] for it actually I don't I think these guys are well I was just giving you the

[08:41:35] warning that Jamal is about to take the stage oh okay all right you you put the

[08:41:43] camera up okay I'm gonna go pee okay I'll be nice talking to you yeah you do yeah

[08:41:48] so I'm with chat now okay got it well nice to meet you but no it's okay I'm

[08:41:53] taking care of chat okay yeah yeah all right bye chat all right chat box couple

[08:42:01] things yes you can all right chat box couple things I'm gonna switch you guys

[08:42:06] to the long lens we're finally using the long lens okay it's gonna be cinema and

[08:42:11] We're gonna make our way over to the viewing point and it's gonna be cinema. It's gonna be Pog and I want to hear no

[08:42:20] Complaining okay. I also you're about to get flashbang because I'm not to change the lens

[08:42:24] I'm giving you a second to cover your eyes

[08:42:32] Sorry, hold hold read stay with me

[08:42:41] Okay, the other thing about this lens is that it's a much longer shot, so it's gonna be a little awkward for a bit

[08:42:48] We're gonna be okay though

[08:42:51] Look how far this goes

[08:42:56] You can see what that guy's doing over there

[08:42:59] Cinema

[08:43:03] Yeah, he's still alive

[08:43:07] Yeah, all of it will be live I'm gonna make my way to the press riser now

[08:43:11] Okay, Chad. Nice to meet you too.

[08:43:13] What's your name?

[08:43:14] March.

[08:43:15] Elise.

[08:43:16] Nice to meet you, Elise.

[08:43:17] Okay, Chad, you're getting a fucking super, super zoomed in version of me right now.

[08:43:20] We make our way over there.

[08:43:25] Of course.

[08:43:26] Oh my God.

[08:43:27] We're kind of a really long lend right now, so can you stand right there?

[08:43:30] Totally.

[08:43:31] And then just kind of speak loudly?

[08:43:32] I have no plan.

[08:43:33] Okay, ready?

[08:43:34] Yeah.

[08:43:35] Hello, Chad. It is an honor to be on the street.

[08:43:37] My name is Elise.

[08:43:38] I run more perfect university which is more perfect in campus program you should join our discord

[08:43:44] University all of our social channels have the link and if you want to learn how to tell stories about how our economy is

[08:43:50] Well, we've been against us. We want to help tell it

[08:43:53] So, thanks. Yeah, really?

[08:43:59] It's okay. Yeah, I gotta move my way over there. No, it's great. You killed that

[08:44:08] Thank you!

[08:44:22] Oh Jack, oh!

[08:44:30] Don't be okay again.

[08:44:32] If you haven't played Trump's song, put it in the air, Mr. Lord!

[08:44:38] You have a long course, son.

[08:44:40] Excuse me, sir.

[08:44:41] You have a long course, son.

[08:44:44] And you have a change.

[08:44:45] The body's not going to be able to move.

[08:44:50] Everybody in the crowd makes a noise.

[08:44:52] Excuse me, sir.

[08:44:53] You have a change.

[08:44:54] The body's not going to be able to move.

[08:44:55] Everybody in the crowd makes a noise.

[08:44:56] Excuse me, sir.

[08:44:57] So on a level set for a moment, let's just talk about why we are here.

[08:45:03] Excuse me.

[08:45:04] I'm going to start in a very emotional, heavy, painful place.

[08:45:11] But I want to center us in this movement right now.

[08:45:16] We are here because of people and children like Henry Job, whose

[08:45:29] His family was slaughtered in Gaza with 335 bullets hit from family's car and a six year old baby taken from us.

[08:45:47] All of us. Tens of thousands of children killed in Gaza with the US back-sponsored genocide.

[08:45:58] Ten to thousands of women, children, and instant people killed in Gaza by U.S. dollars in weapons.

[08:46:09] We are here also because of George Floyd.

[08:46:19] 9 minutes, 29 seconds,

[08:46:24] least in front of the entire world.

[08:46:30] Shame!

[08:46:32] We are here because of Jamal Khashoggi.

[08:46:37] And all of the journalists who gave their lives to bring us the genocide in Washington.

[08:46:46] This is not the time to only fight against Donald Trump, we need to fight against a system

[08:47:01] designed to keep us separated, divided, marginalized, and oppressed.

[08:47:09] This system has been designed this way from the inception of America.

[08:47:21] The genocide of the indigenous people, the enslavement of my ancestors.

[08:47:28] But you know what else we had throughout American history?

[08:47:34] We have freedom fighters that fought the fuck back.

[08:47:38] And right now, today, we are no freedom fighters.

[08:47:47] And that's why we say, unapologetically, fuck ice.

[08:47:59] Fuck ice.

[08:48:01] Fuck ice.

[08:48:03] Fuck A-Pi!

[08:48:05] Fuck A-Pi!

[08:48:07] Fuck A-Pi!

[08:48:09] And that is what we say

[08:48:11] unpolitically

[08:48:13] Fuck A-Pi!

[08:48:15] Fuck A-Pi!

[08:48:17] Fuck A-Pi!

[08:48:19] Fuck A-Pi!

[08:48:21] Fuck A-Pi!

[08:48:23] Fuck A-Pi!

[08:48:25] Fuck A-Pi!

[08:48:27] Because A-Pi, guess what?

[08:48:29] What the fuck?

[08:48:31] You knew, you knew, A. Pat, that our movement was so powerful that you had to spend $25 million to get me out of Congress.

[08:48:47] You have won that battle, but we will win the motherfuckin' war.

[08:49:28] We are about to elect.

[08:49:32] The Lord Carols will be the next Congresswoman in Gatwick, Colorado.

[08:49:37] We are about to elect Gary and me to be the next Congresswoman in New York 13.

[08:49:46] And we are electing new members of Congress in local races up and down the motherfuckin'

[08:50:00] country.

[08:50:01] And so, we always must keep in our thoughts and our prayers and our hearts all of the

[08:50:12] people we have lost.

[08:50:15] all of the people who gave their lives for this movement,

[08:50:19] not just now, but historically.

[08:50:22] And just to pick up on what Dara Eiza said,

[08:50:27] our movement hasn't even reached its full potential.

[08:50:32] We are, and will continue to get stronger every single day.

[08:50:37] and will continue to get stronger every single day.

[08:50:40] We have to, we have no choice because I am not going to live on the fucking fastest.

[08:50:49] I am not going to live on the techno feudalism of Sierra.

[08:51:01] I do not want to live in a country where we constantly spend money on wars, but can be the cause.

[08:51:23] And so, are you ready for the progressive takeover of Congress?

[08:51:27] Because we're not just going to win this cycle, we're going to win and build a new fucking

[08:51:49] America.

[08:51:50] Not one for a rich and well-connected, psychosatid, evil devil, pedophile, abstand,

[08:52:06] Let's make this country beautiful, so beautiful.

[08:52:12] Push, guys!

[08:52:17] We're not just going to win this cycle.

[08:52:19] We're going to win in America, but listen.

[08:52:22] We got a bill.

[08:52:24] It's on us.

[08:52:25] It's on each and every one of us.

[08:52:28] To build and progress across the representatives.

[08:52:32] To reform the fucking Supreme Court.

[08:52:36] To end the filibuster, to be a better kid for all, a better new kid, and not to be a human

[08:52:52] right, but to not skip this, first and foremost, we got to win on June 2nd.

[08:52:58] So everyone in this audience and everybody watching, everybody listening, we need you

[08:53:05] We're going to phone bank, we need you to knock doors,

[08:53:09] and we need you to do that through the lectures

[08:53:11] of our brother, Shoikak, will win.

[08:53:13] And so we have a program to do.

[08:53:17] I think it's time to bring the next one along, you ready?

[08:53:23] Awesome.

[08:53:25] So listen, I love you all, make some noise for yourselves.

[08:53:31] That was not a week.

[08:53:35] The names...

[08:53:37] CHEERING

[08:53:47] The names of the women...

[08:53:59] The names of the women...

[08:54:05] It is always so difficult for me to come out here and have to follow incredible, incredible

[08:54:34] incredible, incredible former Democratic Party like tomorrow woman was always an incredible honor to be here today.

[08:54:49] Now there's a lot of people that didn't want me to be here today.

[08:54:52] The love of San Francisco Democratic Party and numerous actual turf organizations that

[08:55:06] put flyers all around San Francisco.

[08:55:09] But they didn't either do the right thing and hire an artist.

[08:55:16] They have to use AIR.

[08:55:18] And guess what, not a single person showing up to protest.

[08:55:28] There's a lesson there in our story, is the reality is, they can have the money at interest,

[08:55:42] We have the people.

[08:55:44] There's a reason why they're not only coming after me, but they're coming after all of

[08:55:57] these wonderful candidates that are putting the working class first in their message,

[08:56:01] in their platforms, in their policies, because they're terrified.

[08:56:06] They're terrified of fights.

[08:56:09] They don't want to have that fight.

[08:56:11] I'm not just talking about the Republicans either.

[08:56:14] We know that the Republican Party

[08:56:16] is a reactionary scourge in this country.

[08:56:19] We know that the Republicans, we know their races,

[08:56:23] we know their war monitors.

[08:56:26] Well, we say no more

[08:56:27] to the Democratic collaborators, too.

[08:56:30] That's precisely the reason why

[08:56:39] You have five players in the Connors Park since coming out together with Mike Lohler in New York

[08:56:44] alongside Josh Lohler and Josh Gallagher from New Jersey.

[08:56:53] Because they put Israel's interest first above your interest.

[08:56:57] I'm not trying to get Joey down in trouble tonight, you bet.

[08:57:10] You told me, you told me, free palace dog.

[08:57:17] You told me, you told me be on your best behavior.

[08:57:22] I'm trying to do my very best.

[08:57:24] They keep asking me to do these valiings.

[08:57:27] It's getting real difficult for me to hold back when I come out here,

[08:57:30] especially when I said,

[08:57:32] we're going to cross the bridge all of you tonight.

[08:57:38] I feel the power of this room, the labor power, the people power.

[08:57:44] Because you, every student of one of you,

[08:57:46] is what is responsible for the productive output of this country.

[08:57:50] It's not the corporations, it's not the military industrial complex, it's you and the people who are going to ship what happens in the United States.

[08:58:05] We now have an opportunity for the first time in a long time.

[08:58:10] We tried in 2016 with Bernie Sanders and also in 2020 as well.

[08:58:14] We tried to elect progressive congresspersons here and there.

[08:58:18] But through the People-Tower movement, the Democratic Socialists of America as well, the working families party, and all of these other door numbers,

[08:58:27] we were able to elect a socialist mayor in the heart of Gathewood!

[08:58:31] You deserve better.

[08:58:43] You deserve better.

[08:58:50] We deserve a better party that will put your interest first and show how John Martin will be the person who will fight for you.

[08:58:59] And I feel like, at least with these candidates that I've been working with all around the

[08:59:14] country, they've made my job a lot easier as well.

[08:59:17] It's one of the things I told Soron in the beginning.

[08:59:20] I was like, look, you win, and it's going to be much easier for you to just point to your

[08:59:25] success and say, just do that.

[08:59:28] And it draws out, it turns out, we can but a thousand Daurons blue.

[08:59:36] It's just like New York City, just like New York City.

[08:59:44] San Francisco is also another heart of capital, but capital has no value without labor.

[08:59:53] Every single one of you experiences economic struggles, rent is unaffordable, people get

[09:00:12] price out of housing, and the only solution that mayors like Daniel Flurry

[09:00:21] will do for our summer.

[09:00:23] Time will be uniquely wealthy people, or those who are serviled to the interests of corporations

[09:00:30] in the wealthy. They say the only solution to this is endless militarism in the form of

[09:00:36] expensive police budgets. Please take no more. Your salary raises come at the cost of inflation.

[09:00:51] You get a little bit more year over year if you're fortunate, but then inflation eats away

[09:00:56] where your landlord takes it from you.

[09:00:58] Your bosses steal all of your productive output.

[09:01:06] We say no more.

[09:01:14] Not only that, but then you pay your taxes

[09:01:17] with the expectation that you can live in a state

[09:01:20] between city where living is affordable,

[09:01:24] or the cost of living is manageable,

[09:01:26] or you have adequate public transit,

[09:01:29] and yet, that never comes.

[09:01:32] Why?

[09:01:33] Because they take that money from you,

[09:01:37] and they spend it on blowing up schools on perceives.

[09:01:40] That's ridiculous.

[09:01:42] That's ridiculous.

[09:01:45] They say, we never have money for health care.

[09:01:48] They say, we never have money for free education.

[09:01:51] They say, we never have money to fix the bubbles

[09:01:54] or improve the infrastructure.

[09:01:57] In the wealthiest nation on earth,

[09:01:59] where 600,000 people sleep outside every single night.

[09:02:04] Yeah!

[09:02:06] We are saying no more!

[09:02:07] No more!

[09:02:10] The Democratic Party in San Francisco put out the,

[09:02:15] not only condemn me,

[09:02:17] I see a lot of people in this room that want to change the party today.

[09:02:43] And listen, change is not easy, and it doesn't have to go for a night.

[09:02:52] It takes a long time to get there, but we all have to fight to make that change.

[09:02:58] We have to fight to make sure that we elect responsive politicians who will serve our

[09:03:08] We will make sure we won't let it count if we'll do!

[09:03:15] And I promise you, I believe in Showtime, that's why I'm here.

[09:03:21] If it doesn't follow through on its promises, I'll be knocking on the door.

[09:03:29] I believe in showtime. That's why I'm here.

[09:03:32] If it doesn't follow through on promises, I'll be knocking on the door.

[09:03:43] But I don't think I'm going to need to do that.

[09:03:45] And that's not precisely the reason why not only the Republicans, but some of these do-nothing Democrats

[09:03:53] friends fighting back to make sure his necessary change within the party doesn't happen.

[09:04:02] So we have a goal. We have the goal to make.

[09:04:11] So when I say, Shai Ka Chakra Party, I want you to say, change the party.

[09:04:20] Showing out Chakra Party!

[09:04:22] Chakra Party!

[09:04:24] Showing out Chakra Party!

[09:04:26] Chakra Party!

[09:04:28] Showing out Chakra Party!

[09:04:30] Chakra Party!

[09:04:32] Alright, it's a great honor to be here tonight, everybody.

[09:04:34] You've been wonderful.

[09:04:36] It's been a great honor to be here with you.

[09:04:40] Showing out Chakra Party!

[09:05:20] Are we ready to change the party?

[09:06:00] Now this is a historic moment.

[09:06:04] This is the first time Dan Prisco has had an open congressional primary.

[09:06:09] This time it was a money-only.

[09:06:11] And I decided to run for Congress over a year again to go against Nancy Pelosi.

[09:06:18] Because I felt at that time, like I feel today, that we need a new generation of leaders.

[09:06:29] Now, let's just stop from that little deliver, I mean, vision for a fundamental better life for all.

[09:06:43] And to do that, we have to completely change the direction of leadership of the Democratic Party.

[09:06:51] We need the Democratic Party that knows how to fight to stop the authoritarian movement.

[09:06:59] And we need a democratic party that will fight to create a society that works for all not just with its views.

[09:07:11] I knew that no career politician in San Francisco would have the guts to channel the status quo because that's the risk to their career.

[09:07:20] And I thought maybe the democratic party needs something not to join in our party.

[09:07:29] You see, that's the problem with career politicians.

[09:07:35] They can't take risks.

[09:07:36] They can't cope against leadership.

[09:07:38] They can't cope against their donors.

[09:07:40] Because all those things risk the thing

[09:07:42] that they care most about.

[09:07:44] Not you, not people, they're careers.

[09:07:48] And that's why nothing changes.

[09:07:55] Well, I've never been in this for the career.

[09:07:57] I've been doing this from day one,

[09:08:00] because I want to work for a better world for all of us.

[09:08:04] Woo!

[09:08:08] So, when I first came out of San Francisco,

[09:08:10] I came here because I grew up in Texas,

[09:08:13] so this place is paradise.

[09:08:15] But when I came out of here, I worked in the tech industry.

[09:08:19] I felt like you'd be kept to make a better world.

[09:08:21] I know.

[09:08:22] I know.

[09:08:23] I know.

[09:08:24] But I ended up going into a startup as an early engineer.

[09:08:29] And just because I was in the right place at the right time, I ended up going online.

[09:08:35] And that was a very high-computing experience. Thank you, Bill.

[09:08:40] Well, yeah, I mean, I worked hard with it. I did not work harder than a teacher or a nurse or a dentist on or off the hit.

[09:09:09] And at the same time, I was watching my neighbors, those teachers, those genders, those nurses,

[09:09:23] getting pushed out of the city.

[09:09:24] I was living in a mission and the patients were on the rise.

[09:09:27] My friends were getting crushed by the cost living crisis.

[09:09:30] Yeah, it was terrible.

[09:09:33] And so I thought that I need to do whatever I could to fix that, because you know, I grew up with this in life, that if you get lucky, it's your duty to help.

[09:09:46] When my father's family became refugees as a partition in Yale, my grandfather, he had

[09:09:59] to give them an education.

[09:10:01] So it was his duty to start the public school for that refugee community.

[09:10:04] It's still the case that when I go back to my neighborhood with my dad, people will stop

[09:10:10] my dad from the street and say, your father changed my life.

[09:10:14] He saved my life.

[09:10:15] When my dad came to this country with literally $8 in his pocket, he had to give a good job.

[09:10:29] And so that helped him build a real class life for our family.

[09:10:33] But he saved every extra dollar and gave that to our family and our community

[09:10:37] to support our immigrant community here at the Calhoun Stamps.

[09:10:45] So, when I wanted to start a bloggering, I had to do everything I could to fix this

[09:10:53] rig, economic system, because how could I not?

[09:10:58] And if that means that I would have to become a class trainer, I would wear that bad power.

[09:11:08] So, I left that and I joined the Birmingham campaign in 2016 and I saw in that election

[09:11:27] how the Democrats fought tooth and nail to protect the corporates out of school and as

[09:11:36] result, we got down strong. So that's how I learned that it's not enough to justify the

[09:11:45] Republicans. We have to change the Democratic Party as well. So that's why a group of us,

[09:11:56] including Alexander Romance, who you heard from tonight, and then Al Jazeera, and then

[09:12:01] We started Justice Democrats to relent, working class people to Congress and importantly go up not just against Republicans, but a primary corporate Democrats as well.

[09:12:13] I mean, nobody's something that would work with us, because they're afraid of gang

[09:12:23] violence.

[09:12:24] We're going to find campaign lawyers on these campaigns.

[09:12:28] People would tell us, privately, that, you know, what you're doing has got to happen.

[09:12:31] But they'd also tell us, oh, this is political suicide.

[09:12:34] But we didn't care about being in that, because we were in it to make a change.

[09:12:39] Because we had the guts to do that, that we elected to swap.

[09:12:46] So, I had a Friday AOC for our campaign.

[09:12:55] campaign.

[09:12:57] We're in the D.C. and I love the work on that meeting you deal.

[09:13:07] They weren't talking about it.

[09:13:10] We weren't following their rules.

[09:13:13] We weren't waiting our permanent to present big ideas.

[09:13:16] They especially didn't want to use outside movements to pressure on them.

[09:13:21] They hated it.

[09:13:24] So, yeah, we ruffled some feathers in Democratic Party intelligence.

[09:13:29] You know what? I'm glad we did. I'm so glad we did.

[09:13:39] Because that is how we got the Democratic Party.

[09:13:43] They don't remind you nothing on climate change.

[09:13:46] To eventually passing the largest investment in climate and union jobs in the United States.

[09:13:54] That is how change happens. You have to take risks. You have to take the idea of making

[09:14:04] change and put it upon your own political career. And right now, we need that. This is not just

[09:14:13] the historic election for San Francisco.

[09:14:17] This is a health historic election for the country.

[09:14:20] This election is going to decide who controls our future.

[09:14:33] Corporations or the people?

[09:14:35] For the past five decades, corporations and billionaires have been buying off politicians

[09:14:45] to rig the system in their favor.

[09:14:47] They have put taxes for the rich.

[09:14:52] They have slashed the social safety net.

[09:14:57] And now, we're watching this new class of robber bandits who want to literally fire

[09:15:02] We are seeing crypto and AI tax were taxed, spending hundreds of millions of dollars in

[09:15:15] races all over the country.

[09:15:16] Who can have a bunch of races out of the boats that are up here today?

[09:15:20] And now they're on the line here, is everyone just going to do it?

[09:15:28] I'm going to tell you, he's fucking an oligarch, because he got three corporate A.I. back-to-the-packs

[09:15:51] in this race right now.

[09:15:54] And they're planning to send whatever it takes to buy the phone in Congress.

[09:16:02] I mean, if you look it up, you've got a list of corporate donors, how often he is.

[09:16:15] And those same donors right now, they're funding the efforts to feed the wealth pack of billionaires in California.

[09:16:24] They're coming to the efforts to beat the tax on large corporations that pay their CEOs way too much.

[09:16:32] And for everybody that's true, we got to vote yes on profit, yes, too.

[09:16:37] That's right.

[09:16:45] So that's why Sal Wiener has come out against all those efforts of tax-rich, because his donors totally do.

[09:16:54] So there's a reason that these robber barons today are standing so much money to try to

[09:17:02] buy up every congressman.

[09:17:04] Because unlike the robber barons of the 1920s and before, they're not just running average.

[09:17:11] They want to totally control society.

[09:17:14] They want to decide if you have a doubt about yours.

[09:17:24] They want to feed you the music speed, what you read, what you watch, what you believe.

[09:17:28] Fuck that!

[09:17:30] They want to track your every move.

[09:17:32] See what I know, who you talk to.

[09:17:36] Are we going to let him get up?

[09:17:38] No!

[09:17:40] Well, we have to take control back.

[09:17:42] Yes, we do!

[09:17:44] And right now, we can.

[09:17:47] Because at the same time that these oligarchs have been amassing so much power,

[09:17:51] there's been another movement building of people.

[09:17:54] Well, this is the culmination of that movement

[09:18:00] that started in Berkeley in 2016.

[09:18:03] And I see that growth and growth and growth

[09:18:07] and now this is a force to be reckoned with.

[09:18:10] We've seen people take the streets

[09:18:19] streets to protect their neighbors and rights,

[09:18:22] organising how they happen to be generated.

[09:18:24] If you really show up, these no-feeds

[09:18:30] rather than stand up to Northarianism,

[09:18:34] a million more right now are to leave these elections

[09:18:38] standing up demanding change.

[09:18:41] And the biggest, all of you here today, you are a part of that movement.

[09:18:51] You are a part of that movement.

[09:18:54] And this is a movement built to win.

[09:19:05] The fight between these two forces, the oligarchs and the people here in the movement,

[09:19:10] It's all come to head right here in San Francisco.

[09:19:13] We're at the seat of the most powerful corporations in the history of this country.

[09:19:19] Our government is being built right down the street.

[09:19:22] We've got the unfortunate distinction of being the place that creates the wealth of people like Elon Musk and Peter T. L.

[09:19:34] Well, if you know what, don't check all the darts.

[09:19:46] They do not define San Francisco.

[09:19:48] They do not define San Francisco.

[09:19:52] Now, because we have another mature legacy in this city.

[09:20:00] Because this city has been always the foal of the people power groupness that

[09:20:06] popularized when the nation gets wrong.

[09:20:12] And to be so inspired on striking workers in 1934, this city shut it all down in a

[09:20:18] federal strike.

[09:20:21] The trans-duty and conference camp here was sick and tired of being beaten by the cops.

[09:20:29] Based on that, they're going to fight the real declaration of the laying of the headlines.

[09:20:37] The federal government refused to recognize disability rights as activists in San Francisco

[09:20:44] occupying the federal building, and number one.

[09:20:46] It's because of the San Francisco system,

[09:20:54] Wong Kip Hart, who had the guts to go up

[09:21:00] against the racist government.

[09:21:01] And we have birthright citizenship today,

[09:21:04] why I stand for you as an American.

[09:21:06] But I say San Francisco, it's time we reclaim that legacy.

[09:21:21] Every single time the country would have moved, San Francisco has pushed.

[09:21:30] So right now, we need to introduce the President today.

[09:21:35] And because of this, this time, we're not alone.

[09:21:43] I've been saying from the start of this campaign, that the reason change is possible right now,

[09:21:51] is that there's a movement of candidates running across the country.

[09:21:55] Yeah.

[09:21:56] And I need no corporate money.

[09:21:58] People have the courage to step up and challenge the establishment.

[09:22:02] Yeah.

[09:22:03] What I'm going to do tonight is show you just the sliver of that movement.

[09:22:08] So I want to invite back on the stage Mila, Darri-Lisa, Angela, Garret, and all the others.

[09:22:44] All of them got on planes that come out here because they feel the same way we do.

[09:22:55] We might be wanting to represent different communities, but our communities are connected by our shared struggles.

[09:23:02] All of them here, they know that the big change happened.

[09:23:10] It's going to take a team of candidates like us working with people like you.

[09:23:17] That, that is how change has ever happened to this country.

[09:23:24] And that is what we're creating here right now, right in this room today.

[09:23:33] Together, we are going to go to Congress and we're going to apologize.

[09:23:43] Together, we will guarantee health care and well with Medicare for all.

[09:23:52] We will make you public arms and traceable permission free.

[09:23:57] We will build between highways, economy, and climate change through a green, new field.

[09:24:08] We will build affordable housing between private equity and hedge funds, our housing.

[09:24:18] And you look at the wealth of the building they're in.

[09:24:27] Thank you very much.

[09:24:32] You will ban members of Congress with trading stocks.

[09:24:36] Or stop corporate ratings from buying our elections.

[09:24:42] And we will not include any clues.

[09:24:45] Everybody, that means our trans neighbors, and the talent that we have.

[09:24:52] Because we do not throw people into the constant political opinions.

[09:24:57] We do not fight mad at them, but fight demons.

[09:25:01] We go on the offense.

[09:25:03] And together, we're going to end funding for all our endless wars and genocides.

[09:25:19] And before I leave home, there are only end-of-fans in India who like to play.

[09:25:26] And there are only end-of-fans in Gaza.

[09:26:19] I know that a lot of you in this room, you have put in so many hours for this campaign already,

[09:26:24] and I thank you so much.

[09:26:27] So much.

[09:26:29] I mean, when you started this campaign, it was just the fewest of the room.

[09:26:34] Was it crazy idea to go up against me, the most powerful ever?

[09:26:38] You had no idea what was going to happen.

[09:26:41] And then we had our first office opening party.

[09:26:43] I thought maybe a hundred people would show up in 500 of you.

[09:26:46] We're their first rally in the capital, 800 if you show round.

[09:26:53] We come to the venue and we still have pack tops.

[09:26:57] We've just maintained thousands of you have volunteered to find the hills all over the

[09:27:06] city to knock really 400,000 doors.

[09:27:13] And I know there are fears of neglecting right now because we made nearly a million phone calls in this campaign.

[09:27:20] Thank you, Heather. We have the largest field campaign in San Francisco, PISCHER.

[09:27:30] And so through all that, we have identified tens of thousands of supporters, all across

[09:27:44] the city.

[09:27:45] People who've said they're going to vote for us, but none of it matters if they don't

[09:27:50] vote.

[09:27:51] So tonight I'm going to make two asks.

[09:27:53] I know we've asked so much of you already.

[09:27:56] We've got two more things to ask, because we've got to bring it home.

[09:27:59] We got to bring it home.

[09:28:01] The first is that if everyone in this room signs up to volunteer, get out of the boat,

[09:28:09] we know we have the number to make sure that every single person in the city that wants to fill this

[09:28:14] for this campaign actually does it.

[09:28:16] So we need all of you to scan the volunteer QR code right there, right there.

[09:28:22] Please, I think if people work with audience, they're going to be making sure they don't

[09:28:29] incur due to your deadly due to potential object.

[09:28:32] Yeah.

[09:28:33] So, maybe the golf course goes up on the foot board.

[09:28:37] Yeah?

[09:28:38] Woo!

[09:28:39] And I think you got potentially a nice figure.

[09:28:40] You got a nice figure?

[09:28:41] I'm not sure we're looking at.

[09:28:42] Okay, well we're going to keep the count on that, but look, it's not enough for me to

[09:28:49] win this race, if we're going to win this race.

[09:28:51] because I need to be in there with the team of us.

[09:28:55] So this is the other aspect of having you is your life.

[09:28:58] I know it's too much to ask all the five of their districts

[09:29:00] to knock on their doors,

[09:29:02] but everyone here has built incredible ground mobilizations,

[09:29:06] historic for their districts,

[09:29:08] and they all can win,

[09:29:09] but they're up against so much corporate cash,

[09:29:13] and they're being outstretched by income,

[09:29:14] and these are all people who have the guts

[09:29:16] to primary incumbent Democrats.

[09:29:18] That takes a lot of effort.

[09:29:20] So, I think every single person in school can stand at Joe April.

[09:29:30] Capital, money, and everything to their campaigns.

[09:29:33] We need them to win.

[09:29:35] So, I know we can tell them to stand for just a little while.

[09:29:37] We can make sure everybody is doing that, right?

[09:29:39] I'm going to go back to the truth.

[09:29:44] But I feel the truth.

[09:29:46] I know you guys probably don't want to do...

[09:29:47] We are going to bring this home. We, in this room, in this movement, goes to Congress.

[09:29:58] We can completely change not just the party, but the direction of this country. I know we can.

[09:30:04] Thank you all so much again. Thank you.

[09:35:34] Okay, we're going to do one more thing on the first week once I get ready.
