from New York City, New York,
are fucking immaculate. I'm gonna tell you all about that right now. It's 69. It was six,
it was six seven before and now it's six nine. Someone is knocking on my door already. I just
got started. Oh, hello. This is room service, I think. Anyway, love the tie. Well, guess what?
but it's also relevant to my personal news.
Anyway, so yeah, last night I ended the broadcast early because I was really tired.
As you guys know, you were like, please go to sleep, please go to sleep.
And I was like, I'm not going to sleep.
And then I did.
I napped a little bit, took a little nappy poo.
I got a mom to honest and t shirt hand delivered to me,
shouts out the means TV.
Gonna be wearing that at game four.
And I went over to Noah's house,
he was doing a watch party.
It was the most like New York podcast journalism scene,
watch party of all time.
Basically everyone that has ever thought about
even attempting to have a podcast in the New York state area
was there. Uh, didn't know there were a lot of Nick's fans. Everyone in New York is a Nick's fan.
I feel like even if you were like a Nets fan, like a couple of years ago, you're a Nick's fan now, like everyone is, right?
Anyway, it was a, it was an exciting journey. I had to grit my teeth and white knuckle through the process as everyone was celebrating, obviously, but there wasn't too much to celebrate. Obviously, I'll get into my, um, I'll get into my personal news about
that in a second, but it's true. Yeah, was watching a song very closely tonight and didn't
cheer loudly enough for my taste. I think piker might have blown this one for us. I
mean, he's not wrong. Like I wasn't, I actually was not cheering for the next. Did you wear
the suit to a watch party or change? Of course I changed, man. Were you crazy? Um, but yeah,
this is the Trump curse. This is exactly what happened. Donald Trump cursed the next Donald
My occurs in New York in general. I mean they've had such a good run and then Donald Trump comes in and just fucks it up
anyway
But
Overall
I just more of this one. Okay, we'll look at that in a second
Overall
Ladies and gentlemen, this script is in. We'll talk about that in a second, but personal news wise.
Went to the watch party, had a great time with some friends, quietly cheered.
Didn't do it too loudly, you know what I mean? I was just like, oh, but like, wouldn't it be more fun if there's a more fun finals, you know?
That sort of thing, that was the vibes for me.
But other than that, other than that, I woke up early this morning.
Wilson town, the fear and crews finally gotten in.
We worked out.
We did a big business deal.
I did another podcast.
I did pod save the UK.
That was fun.
I worked out.
I went to a vintage store and got a new one.
I went to a vintage store and got a new one.
I went to a vintage store and got a new one.
I worked out, I went to a vintage store and got this tie and numerous other vintage ties.
So that was exciting.
I'm glad that you guys appreciate this tie.
I'm a tie guy now, vintage tie guy.
But in any case, we'll get into all of that news and more right now.
Let's blast off really quickly.
There's a lot to talk about as always, obviously.
in New York City, the Istanbul of America, Iran X, Amir Israel, war heats up, Trump
causes nicks to fail, amidst booze, loud booze, Iran shoots US chopper, Trump vows with tallyation,
And yeah, well, wait, I just realized I can just like make some of that.
Okay, MSG chaos, get in now.
Short stream today.
No, no, no, not a short stream today.
Regular stream today.
Don't you worry about that.
I'm much more, I mean, I sound like I'm not actually more energized, but I actually am.
not more energized, you don't have to worry about that. So, so, yeah. New York City reacts
to the Trump curse. We'll take a look at that. We'll have, we'll have some guests on as well,
by the way, we'll have some guests on later in the broadcast today. Don't you worry about
that. Let's take a look. Let's get started there. Let's get started with the New York
see reacting to the Trump curse, okay? Um, where the freaking heck was I?
Mama's blast off.
Yeah, when be on is my guest. Yes. I don't think when be on is leaving his hotel
room today I'm gonna be honest with you after last night's performance your
mics fucked man why why is it fucked why
your mic volume is a little low here I'll crank it I'll boost it for you okay
is that better are you happy is that better for you all right it's no longer
quiet. Okay, there it is. I fixed it. Is it too cranked now? Now they're going to be like it's too
loud. All right, you were right. That one chatter that actually complained about audio for the
first time ever in the history of chatting was correct. I'll hand it to you. Don't think that
this means you're right all the time. I don't want you to get the wrong idea. I don't want you to think
that you're right with regular frequency. You are always wrong. Audio perverts are usually wrong,
except for this one instance, this one very, very hyper specific instance, where the audio
perverts were correct. Okay. All right. Anyway, where was I? So we just blasted off, we just
blasted off and and reward number one one minute time out. No. All right. We're blasting
off, ladies and gentlemen, New York City. I'm in New York, New York. You already know
what it is. We got a lot to cover, obviously, but let's get started last night at the events
that unfolded at Madison Square Garden against the president, the best president of the United
States of America, Donald J. Trump. New Yorkers obviously were very frustrated with the reality
that Donald Trump was there. There were tremendous logistical hurdles that even the players had
to overcome to get to the goddamn stadium to get to the goddamn facility. I talked to some people
who are inside that were frustrated about the whole process. Donald Trump shamelessly wanted to
partake. Okay. He wanted to be a part of the glory. He wanted to be there. He was invited by
Dolan the owner of the New York Knicks
Bell fast if you ain't aware big dog check logs lots of love. What's in Belfast?
Race riots just started across Northern Ireland tonight stoke by Musk. Jesus Christ. Okay
Yeah, I blame Donald Trump. He should another came in the fucking first. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with him
I suggest you stay inside.
Every rep after they gave me fun in them.
Fuck Trump.
Next game in the biddy no Trump.
It's Trump 4th.
Trump you're a bad fucking luck charm.
I hate you.
Damn Trump, what the hell did you do to this game bro?
The next we're gonna win this game until you fucking came.
We're gonna come back, we're gonna win.
I said fuck Ray Young.
It's Nick versus Spurs,
and the rest fuck Wimby, fuck Harper, fuck Casual, fuck Amor.
Fuck the Texans, fuck the Astros,
fuck anything from Texas, fuck Sandy Cheeks.
I'm copying Cheeks.
The only reason why we lost is because the NBA wants money.
Fuck one me one more time here nice play but fuck one more time the officiating was horrible fuck Tray young Donald T
I'm not jacking you right now. I'm not jacking you. All right. I'm on the phone my ex fuck disperse 13 game straight the day
You come boy the day you come stay away in DC. I feel like the game was red
The New York Knicks
Fuck Wembe and Yama. Fuck Dylan Hopper for now. Wembe get ass fucked. I promise you. Fuck my dick Trump. Don't fucking come back to the MSG niggas.
Them niggas wasn't thinking about Donald Trump. They were thinking about winning the fuck. Stop that bullshit.
Of course, the one guy with the American shirt.
See, this is, I told you this was gonna happen. Did I not? Did I not tell you this was gonna happen?
I mean, no, no, all means aside. Did I not literally tell you that this was gonna happen?
And a lot of you motherfuckers were like, oh, don't say it. You spoke it into existence. You're speaking it in existence. I
Straight up told you I
Told you I pre-watched it. I pre-cogged it. I fucking told you that this motherfucker
Was gonna show up. He was gonna ruin the vibes of MSG
There was no way that the Knicks were losing if Donald Trump had not shown up the Knicks would have won
Last night they'd be on the way to game four. I'd be a game for watching potentially history in the making
Okay
It's just not even a question it is not even a question he fucked the vibes, bro and and
Worst of all not only did he fuck the vibes not only did he fuck the logistics he slept through the whole goddamn game
I mean, what can you say about this asshole, dude?
What can you fucking say about this goddamn asshole and for the record? I
Had already mentioned this I said Trump wants first get a dub here. The script is in hashtag stay woke
You know is James Dolan's fault is James Dolan's fault is Adam Silver's fault is Donald Trump's fault
Does he even like spores? He'd rather be a Broadway. Oh 100% he destroyed it Donald Trump hates Donald Trump
wants to love New York but his presence in New York is not wanted and whenever
he fucking brings his fat ass to New York he ruins the vibes. New York is doing
well without him, okay. New York was doing great. New York was doing great without
him and he wanted a little bit of that shine because he's a little bitch okay
and he fucked it all up he fucked it all up he went where he was not he was
not invited to he went somewhere he did not belong and he ruined the vibes and
he ruined a fucking streak obviously we'll be talking about Adam Silver
sucking them off sideways too, because that was dumb as hell. But here's what the, here's
what the cameras did do. Okay. Classic move, showing the president during the national
anthem. Why would you do that? Well, you would do that because the expectation during the
national anthem is no one's going to fucking boo, right? Which I called out. I said they
thought people wouldn't boo if they showed them during the national anthem. Lamal turns
out new yorkers don't give a fuck about no national anthem when they see when they see
the motherfucking president of the jumbo tron they're gonna bow and they did and it was
actually loud as hell in spite of the the abc broadcast trying to make it seem kayaking
Sad her villain of a grandfather being booed will forever be hilarious. Yeah, let's take a look
One of the funniest copes from the republicans was one of the funniest copes where the republicans was like, no, they're not booing. They're they're chanting us a
Hey, you guys are lame. You're lying. You're lying about my fucking decrepit old rapist pedophile psychopathic president who everybody actually loves even though he's got like 20% approval.
Yeah, and it wasn't just inside Madison Square Garden where the booze were thunderous and could be heard and he certainly fucking heard it while he was trying to hold that smile up, that little bitch.
uh... but the boost to be heard outside of Madison
Maybe they were saying USA as well. Maybe they were saying USA as well. Why did these motherfuckers and his dumb ass fans
Think that he would be welcome in New York City, man
It's like one of the most diverse places on the entire planet
One of the most diverse places in the entire planet one of the most woke places in the entire goddamn country
like
How stupid how stupid that these republicans think they got any motion let alone motion in new york city
And I'll show you the boost from inside as well just so you get a fuller understanding of how loud they were for the record
For those who are disputing it still at this point. Here is here's what it sounded like inside Madison Square Garden
very quickly they take him off the jumbotron too
do. Yeah. Yeah, they they thought they were bro. ABC thought they were so slick. ABC thought
they were so slick. Yeah, ABC was like, no, no, you don't get it. You don't get it. If
we if we just like show him, if we just show him during the national anthem, nobody in
New York City is going to boo the national anthem. Fuck no. Of course they're going
a boo like Madison Square Garden thought oh we'll show our beautiful president during the
national anthem and and and then you know maybe they won't do nothing about it well of course not
of course they're gonna fucking boo him uh i gotta see the fox news clip on this too though i love
look i love this shit because obviously like very clear everybody hates him and it's always great
that he knows everybody hates him. It's even better. It's even better when people know it's
even better when he knows he actually feels it. You know what I mean? He feels the pain a little bit.
Yeah, it was so funny that Trump knows what authentic universally cheering crowds were
supposed to sound like every time he does the rally. So you know, he's getting booed,
which makes the USA USA cope even funnier. Yeah.
Fox News apparently continued to lie to their audience though. It's not on it. It shouldn't be
unexpected. Does anyone have that? Is this the guy who zaps his dog? No, I don't think the president
has a dog. I don't even think the president likes dogs really. But, you know, simple mistake. No,
that you might be confusing what you're seeing on screen with the former
Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Kirsten Ohm, who shot her dog.
Unless you're talking about JD Vance, in which case, I don't know, he might actually have a
weird arrangement with JD where he actually zaps him. You know, some kind of kink arrangement
with JD Vance. Anyway, here's Fox News' cope.
Huh
Someone show me the fox news cover they were like they're chanting USA USA
Are they saying boo or boo the room true true? Well, let's hear what donald trump had to say because they asked him about it
He's in teeter barrow. I assume. Let's see what he had to fucking say
It was certainly amazing. It was I think mostly cheers
Cope he knows is not
He knows he knows oh my god. He fucking knows dude
He fucking knows being at the game with with cop like 24 hours after another escalation in the war with gas at like
$5 also wild
Yeah, he's ass bro. He's ass. It's so funny like look look look
Look, Americans don't understand this, but this is literally what, like, third world
countries deal with, okay?
Deeply unpopular leadership that's increasingly more authoritarian, constantly fucking things
up.
You seemingly have no way of dealing with it.
Inflation is always an ever-present danger.
And the leadership tries to make these sorts of, like, weird inroads with audiences that
despise them.
This is literally third world shit, okay?
Straight up, America is a third world country with a Gucci belt.
And America, unlike the actual developing nations, has no excuse for this kind of leadership,
this kind of rulership.
Because at least those developing nations we fucked up, half the time, we installed
a puppet leadership there.
Or half the time, the people that actually come into power, that are deeply unpopular,
very authoritarian, are coming into power because they successfully overthrew the American
puppet leadership. So, we have no excuse. We're just kind of doing it to ourselves,
I guess. Meanwhile, this motherfucker brought the Epstein Avengers, dude. We got war criminals
and pedos all up in that bitch. We were doomed before tip-off. Howard Butler was there. Dude,
They had, I could not believe it, I mean, sitting next to Larry David, my goat was,
you know, Robert Kraft, I think was there, right?
I mean, they had literally everybody.
They had all the OG, they had all the OG Epstein affiliates.
It was the Avengers.
It was the Epstein Avengers 100%.
My woke King Rahman manual was there too. Devastated.
What the hell is this new? The Trump aligned citizens for sanity. Okay.
All right. We'll look at Talarico on a second. Swagger Rico.
Oh, here is Fox news is maximum cope.
What the fuck?
Oh my god, they did they overlay fake audio?
When is this from?
I was right before the national anthem.
Did they edit that?
Did they splice the USA chance in or, or was it like right before the national anthem?
That's incredible, bro.
That is, oh, that's the, that's next level pathetic respect, respect to the, the, the
depths that these guys are going to make it seem like everybody fucks with Trump.
But he knows.
Look at him.
He knows what's up.
It was certainly amazing. It was, it was, I think mostly cheers. It was, it was a loud
and it was very enthusiastic.
Trump now backs out of game four. Shams, uh, Shams all Shams reports. President Donald
Trump is not expected to attain game four of nicks, but you know who will me motherfucker.
That's right. Let's go, baby. Game four, Madison square garden. I'm a fucking be there.
Uh, but Trump is not, because Trump is not welcome in fucking New York city. Okay. President
Trump is not expected to attend game four at Nick Spurs and the NBA finals on Wednesday
night in Madison square garden due to scheduling conflicts and obligation sources.
Hell, ESPN, Trump, a lifelong nicks fan, watched the majority of game three from a suite.
Um, now what's you, you dropping a bag on it. Don't you worry about it, baby? Don't you
worry about it. Please subscribe though. Anyway. Yeah, also motherfuckers says, Oh, I had obligations.
I have obligations during game four. Bitch, you had obligations last night. You are the
president. You have obligations all the time. You should never be at the next game. You
should never be at any game honestly what the fuck are you doing be the president except
him doing president shit is also awful so honestly i guess it was a brief moment of
respite for the rest of the world and perhaps the rest of the country when he was at the
fucking next game so you can only ruin new york in that brief moment instead of ruining
the entire planet i guess
brother brother
This motherfucker was at the Knicks game and a couple hours later Iran shot down a helicopter.
Okay?
And the owners
down a U.S. Apache a couple of hours we are
Yeah, the IRGC's fake Navy that the American government has destroyed allegedly seemingly shot down a motherfucking Apache helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz, bro.
Yeah.
Yeah, reported. Will you go to the fifth game?
I'm going to come out for game 4 and they are going to deliver.
I don't know, we're busy with a lot of important stuff right now at EPA, like a war.
There's a lot of important stuff going on.
They do every play.
They're going to come out for game 4 and they are going to deliver.
Yeah.
Dude, it's actually crazy. It's actually crazy that the fucking dumbass president was literally at a New York.
Wait, what? Not a couple hours? 7 p.m. Eastern last night. Man was there when it went down and he stated the game. Wait, what?
Wait, it was during?
It was during the game?
oh my lord this motherfucker was sleeping he was taking a fucking nappy poo he
was taking a nappy poo while the fucking American Apache helicopters were
getting shot down by the IRGC Navy which is supposed to be destroyed by the
By the way, destroyed, the Navy, it's gone.
They got nothing.
We've shot 1,100 jet skis.
Believe it, they're done, they're done.
They're so scared.
They're so scared.
Meanwhile, they're fucking lasering about your helicopters.
What is this motherfucker doing?
Hog shoe, me, me, me!
This unbelievable, unbelievable dude.
I cannot believe it.
This is down to the fact that he is a decrepit carcass
who can't even keep his fucking eyes open.
This is literally third world dictatorship ship, bro.
I swear to God, every element is here.
I'm telling you, as someone who grew up in fucking Turkey and watched this unfold,
this is a one-to-one, except that one was much more dynamic, obviously.
Unfortunately, he was much younger and much more dynamic in the beginning.
But it's just like, this is literally how it happens.
OK, this is how it happens.
Who's next to him sleeping?
That's Dolan, isn't it?
And he's the owner.
The owner is not sleeping.
He's just fucking sad because, you know, he he's making.
He's made some mistakes. OK.
bro is so funny he doesn't even blink like he wakes up for a brief moment when the cheers
happen and he goes right back to sleep right back to sleep
Dolan is regretting inviting Trump no man these guys are assholes he didn't
even care you don't understand he got great prestige out of it extremely
wealthy people are you fucking kidding me they love this shit they're like oh my
God, I love this dictator. I love the dictator pedophile president. He's gonna give me great contracts later down the line
That's all they give a fuck about
The cost-benefit analysis in that situation is who gives a fuck if my
lifelong paying fans of this team that is the lifeblood of this fucking team as the backbone of this goddamn team
Have to sit outside Madison Square Garden for like four and a half hours can't bring anything into the fucking
Uh, can't bring anything into the garden who gives a shit if they can't have a watch party outside
Um, we got the president here today the most unpopular president of all time by the way, but we got him in here
Ultimately that cost benefit analysis works out for dolin. It works out for uh, adam silver
It works out for these unbelievably wealthy people because they know as long as they dicksuck trump
Trump is going to on the back end offer them better contract Trump is on the back end offered that is going to extend
Favorable contracts to them allow them to do whatever kind of corrupt thing that they want to do. That's just how it works
These guys know it's fucking quid pro quo meanwhile by the way, I'll be honest they the the
The the nicks fans outside did get a little crazy they were beaten
I'm gonna be honest the the auto the auto captioning on clips is probably the greatest invention on twitch in a long time like I don't think twitch has had any like real good
New things that they've rolled out. This is fantastic. This is this is an incredible thing
Won't soon
My someone found out I stand what the wrong Long Sign in Maine
yeah, this is the one guy who's not voting for
grape liked her because Grant Platner was a child killer
But that's the one guy in Maine
That's the one Hosurna beheaded Mayne who's always in my chat being like you're a fucking piece of shit
You love american Empire you love american 1941
You ride for Grand Patner because he's a child-killing Marine. That's the one guy. This is fucking a long sign respect
Yeah, new you go pull about you highs with black voters. Yeah, respect I
Was actually kind of shocked that La Raza didn't have my bag on this poll
7% favorability is crazy white people fuck with me higher
Black people are the the only people that actually have a positive approval rating in me
Which is kind of weird because everyone always fucking says like oh your raises your raises like
You know I know I forgot that there's a you go pull on me which by the way there shouldn't be okay
I don't like being perceived you need to stop it
Okay, you need to fucking stop it. I should never be pulled. I'm a fucking twitch streamer. Jesus Christ, dude
Have you seen the new Colorado polls put in Julie with an eight points of Hickenlooper at 38 30
She might have a real shot, but not enough time left. I will be hanging out
In Colorado
Rolled at our paint champ women la raza
They didn't ask me for my opinion fake as poll yet we got the fake ass poll saying that
I'm saying that I got haters across the board
Yeah, but Adam Silver
Also, there's like long fucking convoluted possibility sports brings everybody together shut the fuck up Adam
Shut your bitch ass up. We know you wrote the script motherfucker. You want look I love Wemby, but it's clear to me that
Silver did not want a fucking four game sweep silver did not want nicks to make history
Okay, it's clear. They did not want the the the rags the richest story the underdog story
To come into fruition. He's got his young talent Wemby ama on the other side
He wants Wemby to have a longer fucking finals. He wants it to be more exciting. He wants it to be more
He wants to sell more fucking tickets, okay?
I'm gonna be honest. I'm a wemby fan and I am secret my heart my heart is with the spurs right like
It's hard for me not to root for them
um
It's just but I but I love new york. I love new york city and and the nicks are
Technically the real underdogs in this in this situation, right? Here's the thing. Here's the thing
Here's the thing
Silver wants you to go to seven. It's clear
He wants us to be a seven game of finals. It's obvious. He makes more money this way. Okay, that's it and
They did actually ate in a bet they did ate in a bet in the Spurs victory last night
24,000 the fuck a second half as opposed to the nicks getting eight. I mean come on man
That shit was crazy. I
I mean, I'm not even hating on it. Like I think, you know, great. It's more exciting. It's a more exciting finals for that reason
But 24 to 8
Or was it for I thought it was a
Yeah, yeah, and then when we did that thing to fucking dude dude dude the Bronson when
be when be the Bronson that was that was egregious like yes, this is absolutely fucking egregious
I did it's indefensible. He's young. He's heated. He's gonna learn but that is that is definitely
an egregious thing that he did. Okay, that's crazy.
Watch this play. This is what frustrated brother. Oh, whoa.
That's like he flicked them so hard. He, bro, look at this.
There's additional impact here. Okay. People say he flopped. Come on, man. He fucking pushed
push them off his neck, that's crazy.
Yes brother, I already purchased them and I already have the other one.
I have the fucking Mamdana stand T. Hold on, I'll show you.
Chat, look at this, look at this.
Wanna see?
I'm wearing this shit the game for so they don't beat my ass, okay?
and
there's like only five samples and I got one of them
bro says four to six for delivery with the fuck rich privilege no this that's a
sample
Adam Silver releases the new NBA logo stupid okay the Spurs literally has six
people on the court at one point got no foul and the nicks lost time on the shot
It was rigged. Yes, it was definitely officiated a little strangely. Okay, I
Admit it. I fucking admit it. It was it was the officiation was a little strange the referees were maybe
Maybe putting their fucking thumbs on the scale a little bit. Okay, stop crying. All right, you got to fucking beat him
You got to beat your meat or you got to beat the team. Okay?
All I'm hearing is excuses
Yeah castles awful with that charge there was numerous there were numerous instances where it felt like I was watching the fucking NFL, bro
They were they were they were tackling motherfuckers, okay?
Neither Spurs player got called for a foul here. Good defense. I guess. Yes
They were a baby in when baby, okay
Okay, I think after this series is gonna be
I'll be honest. I think when he's gonna be a villain after this in New York
Even though a lot of people love him. I feel like they're gonna
It's not gonna be Trey young level, but
This is your boy. This is who you want leftism to be represented by unethical revisionist hoops
He's not he's not a revisionist. He's a malice bro chill
That's excuse me. That should be a flavor one. I can understand why Brunson and then Wendy's laughing at it
Watch this play. This is what frustrated brun. Oh, whoa
That's excuse me. That should be a flavor one
If they come back he will surpass Trey maybe I could see that
I'm tired of these activist referees.
Yeah, it's reformer revolution.
We already know what's up.
And last night was revolution.
Okay, last night was revolution.
Let's be real.
Interesting how Wemby played his best game in front of the pedophile president.
Okay, bro.
That was just timing, dude.
A lot of people wrote him off
because he was frazzled in the first two games.
You forget he's literally 22, man.
He is 22 years old.
He's 22 damn years old.
You gotta calm down.
And it's not even his best.
It's not even his best.
I
Anyway listen listen the fucking what Adam Silver had to say about this reason. Oh, it's great sports
You know Jim Dolan invited them to the game and he said yes, and he's welcome to be here
I think that what makes sports so you know fuck Dolan actually that's so shit. That's such shit
That like you knew this was gonna happen you kind of deserve it don't you kind of deserve to watch the fucking watch the glory that you could have had
It's such a shit move dude, I cannot believe it
like any president would have been devastating to have
Okay, because all of a sudden the story becomes the president's there the fuck are you doing? What are you're so unserious?
you're so goddamn on serious why would you literally why would you invite the president like even if it was branded it would have been a shit move
okay
it'd be so funny if nicks went in five and the only game they lost was that one
special special when there's so much to devise people it's something that we have in common
and we should like nobody was like hey you know the security theater is gonna be unbelievable
unbearable it's gonna frustrate the fandom you know what I mean you didn't think about
that at all that's not that wasn't a consideration at all look for those things that we have
in common and build off that and I'll also say that President Trump you know I've been
with the league for a long time I ran in the entertainment years ago he did an I love
Game spot with us. He was a fixed period NBA
Madison Square Garden you guys remember who all of you yeah when he was a fixture of Madison Square Garden
He was just a real estate developer. He was a fucking asshole. Okay
Very different set of circumstances as opposed to one of the most historically
unpopular presidents
One of the worst American presidents of all time like he's now officially in like the top five, okay?
very different set of circumstances and on top of that, like the security theater alone
is already such a burden for the fans, you know,
when you play here, not dream on, but back in the old days, he had court side seats.
He was here all the time.
He was at draft.
So he's a genuine nix fan.
And so yes, there's something convenience to the fans here, but one looking around the
arena, it's packed.
So people listen, they came early, they got through whatever extra security, which is
necessary.
I think we should be using sports to create more of a sense of community with people.
I found out.
Dude, yeah, he's like, I don't know about that.
Okay, so Senate, the inside NBA crew responds to Mike Brown's comments about game three
officiating.
I mean, it's valid to fucking complain about the, the, the officiating here and next coach
Mike Brown calls our NBA officiating for the free throw discrepancy in game three
To go 24 free throw attempts in the second half compared to eight. I don't complain that much
I never thought I'd see that in an NBA final goal
To at least
Try to even the free throws out now. We didn't play good
San Antonio played great
We could have played better there were a lot of things that we didn't do that
we've done that we did in game one and game two
But to go bro when they brought it back because like okay the room was like so bummed as it was expected for the first
Quarter the spares were dominant leading by 10. That's literally happened every single fucking game at this point
So I kept repeatedly telling everyone in the room like it's gonna they're gonna turn it back
They're gonna turn it around they always do and then they did so then everyone was super fucking stoke
The only difference this time around was that you know, they the Spurs were able to keep it up
Spurs were able to keep up the pressure and
And not boof all their fucking shots like they kept doing in the second in the second half in the previous two games
That's all that's the big difference 24 free throw attempts in a second half
That's 48 for the game if you think about it the way that they called that second half
compared to eight. All the shots we took, we got fouled four times roughly for eight free throws
outs. Again, I don't complain much. I never thought I'd see that in the NBA finals game.
Yeah, so, wait, what did they say about that? This was San Antonio made more than New York took
in this game 25 for 32 18 for 22 when you hear what he had to say do you see
what he the point he's making especially talking about how many free throw
attempts in a half to think well he should stop that we didn't play well
you can't go back where they played or Senate or play well yeah we can well he
can say but but he's his point what they did not play well enough to win the
game as far as outplayed them tonight. Um, listen, referees gonna miss some calls. That
happens. Uh, but I officially did not lose this game. Yeah. You know, I love my brother
that he said at first, we did not play well. Yes, we got more free terms of course, you
could have made it well. Is that bad call here there? But the bottom line was he should
to stop that. We did not play well enough to win. That's why they lost, not the free
court and 20 points left. Nick scored 22 and quarter one and 45 and
turnover is 21 to seven in favor of San Antonio. When I was good enough to lead 19
to five, I was one time I had a bad game. And I said, what's wrong? I said, I didn't
get no calls. He put his hand on my children's head. Real champions don't complain. And he
walked off. Mike Brown knows better. He's one with the Warriors. He knows what to take
tournament championship. I agree with Chuck. You didn't play well. You should have played
better at home. Everybody's expecting, you know, the blowout and we're here in New York.
Everybody's celebrating. You should have stopped with, you didn't play well.
Real champions do not complain. Sorry, Trevor.
No, no, I'm good. I'm sorry. I love, I love Mike Brown as well. The referees usually side
with the more aggressive team. Victor Wimbyama started the game. Three of their first four
possession.
Docs.
Docs.
All series long when Victor Wimbyama has rode has been like bumper cars. He's getting
Tag right here. He gets another tag. He does get his ass beat to be fair. He does eat a lot
He does eat a lot, but that's just the you know, that's just what's gonna happen when you're a fucking big boy
You know now he get five or six lives today
So I blame the Knicks for that if you're aggressive if you're not letting him roll to the rim
Then they're not penetrating to get to the basket and they're not getting more foul-costs. I mean I want
Okay, so
Anyway, we got like 12 different hitlers of MSG tonight dog is true
Like this was it was a fucking villain show, bro. It's actually crazy
Every goddamn American villain decided to storm Madison Square Garden last night
So it kind of makes sense that the the vibes were a little fuck
I
Like he's talking about it with I suspect who he's considering to be Adolf Hitler here is is Dremont
Fucking classic NBA Twitter, there's like literal there are literal American Adolfs in the room
And this motherfucker is like, you know, who's the biggest Hitler of all Dremont?
the
the third MSG, yet third MSG rally
Ozympic Laura Loomer was there too? No! Ain't no way!
Oh my god! Oh my god! Your favorite zionazi ozympic Laura Loomer showed up too. They were cooked.
Don't show that the Trump Trump's gonna be like we need her we need her on the team all right
anyway let's uh let's take a look at the mainstream media coverage of the night before we get into
war. War! People climbing on top of cars and up scaffolding after the nicks lost to the Spurs in
game three of the NBA Finals. Police deploying pepper spray in the clashes.
Several people arrested. It was a different scene inside Madison Square
Garden. President Trump becoming the first sitting president to attend an
NBA finals game. The president blew it during the national anthem. Trump calling
the game experience amazing. It was certainly amazing. It was I think
It was mostly cheers. It was it was allowed and it was very enthusiastic.
On the court with the season on the line, the San Antonio Spurs pulling off a gritty road win.
Seven foot four superstar Victor Wembanyama with a huge night for San Antonio,
dropping 32 points in his first finals game at Madison Square Garden.
It was a physical game. Players battling on every possession. Josh Hart getting a technical foul here after this dust-up with Luke Cornette, while this non-call between Wendie and Brunson raising eyebrows. Brunson sharing his perspective post-game.
What happened between you and Victor in the first quarter and did their level of physicality bother you?
No, um, to answer your second question and um, whatever you saw is what you saw.
The Knicks mounting a comeback in the fourth quarter.
Goes to Alonso B of the quarter, fires away, three-pointer.
Got it!
OG, Alonso B nails it!
Dude, OG is a fucking demon, by the way. A demonic entity. Oh my fucking lord, dude.
The Who's Who of Knicks fans. Spike Lee, Timothy Chalamet, Ben Stiller and more all court side for the first finals game at MSG since 1999.
But San Antonio snapping the Knicks 13 game playoff win streak, taking game three at the Garden 115-111.
It's what we're supposed to do, but the job is absolutely not done. We're not even halfway. The hardest is still to come.
fans in San Antonio far from the game but still in on the action the
Silesian sisters bringing divine inspiration supporting their team from
home so spurs players and fans are feeling good they're right back in this
thing but some solace for Nick's fans never before an NBA finals history has
the road team won each of the first four games so if that continues the next
would win tomorrow night at 8 30 Eastern on ABC.
So we're on board with us.
You're right. The one we had an amazing game, but how do they bro?
Bro, I'm going to be honest with you.
Every game is a fucking home team game for the next.
They got so much goddamn money.
I mean, even in the fucking even in San Antonio,
half the fucking stadium was nicks fans, dude.
Those motherfuckers fly.
And and they also have.
They also have the the financial power to just buy out the the sparse arena
Is crazy
Is that heavy it was so obvious in the arena like you just basically punch brunson for them
They're like oh, this is a much cheaper ticket
It's literally cheaper to fly out and watch the game in san antonio and stay in a fucking luxury hotel
Well, then it is to actually watch it at Madison Square Garden in the back of the head and
Brunson got distracted and walked after him.
Everyone's like, what's going on?
The refs left something to be desired for Nick's fans for sure.
Nick can buy out San Antonio, but they're the underdogs.
I mean, team wise, yes, they are.
They are.
you know they have less victories it's yes team team mega wise they're also a a
longer shot for sure that's what it is no they're not and I mean the only
difference is that the San Antonio is young nix 1 13 in a roll amount I'm just
saying like, there's a reason why Wemby cried after fucking beating the Oklahoma City.
That was, they thought perhaps wrongly, they thought perhaps wrongly that like thunder
would be way more difficult to defeat.
home games coming up they were like this shit's gonna be sweet. There's no
respect for the Eastern Conference around these parts, okay?
Yeah, they thought Eastern Conference easy.
No, bro, he's just emotional.
I
But I got another game tomorrow. Yeah, I had to I had to write a note to Isabel because she went to bed at half-time
Donald Trump returned to New York City to attend games
Yeah, the spurs were the second best team all year. Yes, the nicks are the underdogs
Yeah, people will point to the nicks like winning record to be like, what do you mean?
It was a fucking 13 game 13 game winning streak, but like I think pound for pound
Yes
Three of the NBA finals and he was shown on the Jumbo Tron at Madison Square Garden during the national anthem
The reception to the president's homecoming may not have been what he hoped for
Yes
Yes, fuck you fucking suck my dick dude. Fuck you
amazing
That makes me so happy. I can't even oh my god. I mean I expected that to happen
I also thought the real cheeky shit would have been that and then they somehow find Zoran in the fucking crowd
They put his ass on the jumbotron and then loud fucking cheers. I wanted that juxtaposition
I wanted that juxtaposition so bad, but I feel like they were not crazy enough to do it
Okay
They were not crazy enough to do it Zoram was up in the nosebleeds. Yeah, he's gonna increase
ice in New York City now because of this. No, I think mostly cheers. You know, when
you mix sports and politics, mostly cheers was it? For instance, here's Stephen A Smith
before last night's tip off at the garden if the new york is aren't even going to the
games yet he went last night he was there last night next lose game three this is our
Donald Trump you think I've been on him before I'm gonna be on his ass like back pockets
like white on rice you got no business doing this he doesn't belong at this game no president
does he's right none of them democrat republican independent i can't believe i'm saying it but
he's right so the he's right he's right you're not like you're you're making it about yourself if
you're the president and you go somewhere like that a massive event like that you're you're selfish
like you're literally saying like i'm gonna make this night about me yes a broken clock but it's
is still rung true in this moment for steven a smith
president who also in the middle of a war i can't believe we're forgetting about
this
but it's there's a war going on
what the fuck are you doing
but there was a helicopter that was shot while you were sleeping on the
jumbotron
the fuck
this is down to help say steven a smith is not smart enough to be president
wait, what I think he's a nice guy, but you need a certain aptitude to run for president.
You need a high IQ. I'm not sure that Stephen has that. Oh, classic, classic. Oh, he's black.
Low IQ. Classic. Classic Trump. Anytime. Anytime a black person says anything about Donald
He's like up black person low IQ low IQ. He doesn't have high IQ
Bitch, what about your IQ?
Go to big grandpa. No, he had a nap time dude. He had nappy poo time. He was good. Look look. He's alert now
Hold on
I don't think he does, actually.
Yeah, any time he's a person of color, he's like, no IQ, no IQ.
We got it, bro.
We got it.
We got it.
We got it.
We got it.
We got it.
We got it.
Okay, let's keep going.
He's a New Yorker, showed up anyway, and that's not unusual.
Trump has attended the Super Bowl.
Yeah, motherfuckers like go to bed to Donald Trump.
Yeah, he was already.
He was sleeping.
He was sleeping the whole game, dude.
U.S. Open College Football National Championship, he's now the first sitting president to attend
the NBA Finals.
He's a jinx, it's like the goat in Chicago, he frickin' jinx everything.
Okay, today in the group chat we've got Breonna Lyman, reporter for the Federalist and Christine
Quinn, Executive Committee Chair for the New York State Democratic.
It's so funny to have the Federalist reporter to be like, no, it's totally defensible that
Trump selfishly wanted to attend the fucking attend the finals game in Madison Square Garden
and make it all about himself. It's perfectly valid. He's the president committee.
Um, sports people are very superstitious. Let's just say that there was this tweet from Ron
Philippowski. I'm not an expert on jinxes, exes, isn't voodoo, not superstitious either.
If I was the Knicks, I probably wouldn't let Trump near the arena for Game 4 just to
be on the safe.
What was the point of this for Trump?
Well, I think Trump has been a lifelong Knicks fan.
There are pictures of him with Marlon Maples, with Melania Trump in the 90s and early 2000s.
So someone who probably is rooting for the same team he's been rooting for for decades.
Yes, this is the argument from Wookie Goldberg.
She said the same thing.
Yes, she did.
Trump and Mandani are Knicks fans.
Oh my God, who cares?
Who cares?
Who cares?
You're the president.
Oh my god. Oh well to be fair like no you don't have to be fair. How about no how about being unfair for once?
What do you mean to be fair? He's was there all along like I don't care
Why should anybody care?
He's the president there's a fucking war going on sit your ass at home and end the war dumbass
They've been New Yorkers, you can't tell them what they're not going to do.
I think the thing I found interesting is Trump is very much our sports president has been.
Obama was an NBA guy and he didn't go to games because he said it creates too much of a problem
for the fans.
Absolutely.
Look, I live on the west side of Manhattan.
It was a mess yesterday.
I was about to say, how are you here?
Exactly.
It was a total mess.
had to get there at least is true it he's that she's right for saying that
obama obama literally not only plays basketball but is a fan of the game is a
fan of the sport and did not attend any of the games because yes if you attend
the fucking finals game especially it's gonna be all about you
also when you're the president and there's a fucking war going on what the
hell do you mean you're gonna go to the finals is crazy
I
Two hours early they didn't get to be a wash party right outside the garden
I I get that he may be a fan, but you have to really appreciate when you're president
Yeah, like he literally fucked everyone's day up attended the game then just slept the whole game
He's such a fucking asshole dude. It's so funny
It's so funny. He just ruined everyone else's game, got booted at, and then slept through the entire fucking game and left seven minutes early too, by the way.
I heard that he actually left before the game even ended. He did not give a fuck. He did not care about the motherfucking nigs, man.
And he just literally was there to make it about himself ruin the fucking vibes left early
You're not just popping in and popping out you're putting a whole bunch of people out and in this case
He was a jinx. There is no question
I could have been the jinx completely like he was a jinx Christine Quinn. Oh really?
Mom Donnie was a jinx. That's crazy because he's been at all the games. And every game
he's went he's gone to they won.
Well, here's the thing. The reason why I'm asking about this is not just because it's funny,
but also because one of the things. Yeah, I told you, Seeker servers left the perch above the
sweet Dolan has moved courtside Trump left the building seven minutes ago he
left seven minutes early bro that is insane at least stick through that is
actually crazy what a fuck you dude no I don't need to see the last quarter who
cares is it important is that the important quarter is that when they
Win or lose the game, I'm bored, I'm sleepy, it's nap time.
It's nap time, I'm sleepy, get me out of here, I ate all these French fries.
These people are accusing the administration of being in this moment when there's economic difficulty for people is toned in.
The idea that, look, we're here, the regular Schmoes who want to be involved in this thing and he comes and just says,
kind of let them eat cake, right?
You can watch it on TV.
And what was the sort of, I understand he's a fan,
but does that contribute to the Tone Deaf narrative?
Oh, I don't think this was Tone Deaf at all.
I think first of all, a lot of those tickets,
I mean, some of them are going for thousands of dollars.
I think I saw.
Yeah.
Of course you don't think it's Tone Deaf
because you're a writer for the federalist.
One ticket price at $7,000.
And the people who were buying them and who were courtside
were a lot of people very popular
among the left and celebrities, right?
And I don't have motorcats in Mr. Security or...
No, but those are the same people who for four years
lectured us that things were fine under Joe Biden.
So they also could be considered tone deaf.
But I think the president politics
is obviously very hostile.
Yeah, Ben Stiller, the real mover and shaker
in American politics, dude.
What the fuck are you talking about?
There's not even apples to oranges at that point.
You're talking about the American president
being unbelievably selfish,
ruining everybody else's fucking time
and then turning around and being like,
ah, well, you know, Ben Stiller, Joe Biden,
boo, but what about Joe Biden?
For instance, yeah, what about Joe Biden?
If Joe Biden did this shit, they would assassinate him,
okay?
The Republicans would be losing their fucking minds.
They'd be like, oh my God,
our 800 year old demonic president
amidst an inflation crisis,
decided to go and watch the Knicks play
at Madison Square Garden,
created a security theater, ruined everybody's night?
Republicans would have lost their damn minds,
they would have been calling for his fucking head.
Of those last remaining arenas,
where people do put politics aside.
Let me play for you the reception Trump got.
Oh, I don't think I'll boot.
I just want to play it.
But this is also in New York City.
It's Madison Square Garden.
He is the New Yorker of New Yorkers,
and this is how people reacted.
That was amazing actually.
You know when they had the camera on me.
I thought it was very good.
It was certainly amazing.
It was, I think mostly cheers, it was.
Carrie Champion here, CNN contributor,
and host of the Flagrant and Funny podcast.
We have to bring in a little bit of an expert because we're political people.
We don't know.
We know about jinxes.
We know about hoaxes.
We don't know when politics and sports clash.
What is the outcome?
It's just New York.
New York wasn't voting for Trump, and that's anyway, but it's just a problem.
Listen, first of all, you said people in sports normally, I hear you say that, normally they
don't really care so much about politics.
They absolutely cared about politics.
This is such a rare moment for New Yorkers.
People have waited their entire lives.
The last time they won a trip was 1973.
Yeah.
But this is about why the President of the United States, who is a New Yorker, would
want to be there.
No, in fact, you should not want to be there because you want to keep that same momentum
going.
You know, New York is such a rare place.
I've never seen fans like this before in my entire life, and they deserve to have this
moment, and it was supposed to be uninterrupted, meaning we were supposed to have our watch
parties around MSG.
We were supposed to be in that moment.
i do believe in you know the great cvena smith
it's not just the other day and you played it
so he fully blames him but so that was the that was the vibe
you can't be on a streak and then have someone come in
and cool the street
i'm saying cooler let me let me play one more thing tommy vietor
he was the cooler
it's true
obviously these are obama guys but they're talking about the power of sports and why politicians
would want to be involved here's that
He knows the power of live professional sports and it's the only like a mild cultural events
We really have left so I go to a lot of games usually it's the NFL
I went to the Super Bowl usually he's more welcome in those you know sort of southern NFL spaces
I I don't think he will be here and he's also buddies with James Dolan
I think the owner of the next always pals with the owners. Yeah, not a real player guy
Yeah, no, but like look he loves the limelight. He loves every spotlight and he will attempt to
co-opt this one too
just that word corrupt co-op we know that he loves sports UFC claw rising
like a phoenix on the lawn I don't know if you do you really think I don't think
he loves sports he's always been he's been going to ringside games no matches
no sitting president has ever attended a finals right look Barack loved NBA
yeah and he went to a few games but he would never do that one it's on our
dime two it disrupts everything that goes on while you're there and yes
U.S. sees a different thing for him in terms of for Donald Trump. That's more of his fan base.
That's where he lives. That's where people love to see him. He has obviously the relationship
with Dana. So when we see him at the NBA finals, it really throws off everything that people want
it to. It'll be interesting to see if this comes down on Dolan, who obviously has some
like why invite renovating Penn Station and there's a bunch of questions there about that.
Yeah, and they're calling it Trump station. God, he's such a hmm. I'm not going to say anything.
I don't want to get fucking.
Never mind. Relationship that I wonder if people are going to probe more now that they are, I don't
know. In Greece. Being from Boston, let me tell you, I know to keep my mouth shut.
I cannot imagine that the president was surprised that he was booted MSG.
I was just that, um, at, um, what was the thing where the, uh, Fernando Mendoza played
the NCAA champion football championship.
Okay.
CNN.
I've watched for eight minutes of your coverage and you have yet to reveal that there is a
a fucking war going on. Hello. Eight minutes and not one mention of a war happening. Hello.
Not the war between the Spurs and the Knicks, the war between the United States of America
And Iran. Hello.
What's going on?
I feel like that's, you know, additional insult to injury here.
That Donald Trump chose to take time out of his day.
Didn't go to his fucking son's wedding, ironically enough, because he was like,
I don't care. He's getting married all the fucking time.
Who gives a shit? I've known him for a very long time.
He's a bit of an asshole. Who cares?
Yeah, man, we're also waging a war against Iran at the behest of the nation state of
Israel.
Okay, perhaps the most important ally of all time.
But regardless, we are waging a fucking war and you guys love shitting on Trump.
Do it right.
Perhaps that's the most appropriate way to dunk on Trump is that he's doing this during
a fucking war.
And Trump went, this was in Miami earlier this year, spent so much money there, I'm not
going to a sports event the rest of my life.
And he was booed as well.
So listen, I think he knows that comes with the territory.
New York even more than in Miami, Florida, I would tell you basketball and Madison Square
Garden even more, it also cost a lot of disruption.
It meant that a watch party that was scheduled to be happened outside of MSG did not happen.
You know, he takes the punches, you know, maybe a glutton for punishment because the way that the city was like bracing for chaos today was
Unbelievable. Well, I think the booze weren't as much political. I won't say that they were definitely political and
What you did to the city? They couldn't have the watch party blocks of you know, streets are blocked off and there was an opportunity for you to
in Washington because there's so many Nick's fans in DC you could have done it in the White House lawn
It would have been cool. You would have been cool. I guess we reflect the pool. He just made exactly
All right, that's crazy. All right, let's get to the fucking action for now ladies and gentlemen
while Donald Trump was
honks shooting and and me mean
his way
Through the NBA finals game that he absolutely disrupted with his presence and ruined for New Yorkers
There was a war that was being waged
At the Strait of Hormuz where
An American Apache helicopter was struck and what we find out now was by a drone
It was taken out, helicopter pilots were saved in the process, it seems.
Trump announced that it was Iran that shot down the Apache off the coast of Oman, and
that the U.S. must respond.
I've just been informed by a great military that last night the Iranians shot down one
of our highly sophisticated Apache helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz.
There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured, nevertheless the United States
must of necessity respond to this attack. A U.S. official told Barak Reveed that the
investigation determined that if Iranian drone hit the U.S. helicopter and got it to crash,
the U.S. official said the investigation still hasn't determined if it was intentional or not.
Banzer buries is if it truly was a drone then that's on the helicopter pilot for not avoiding it,
was likely not the intentional target. CNN claims it was a shahed, definitely not the intended
target if true. Yes, Shahad drones do not have the capability of striking moving targets like
that, especially a target that's moving like a helicopter. Like that's not a slow moving target.
So that dude flew into the Shahad drone if it's actually a Shahad drone.
Okay.
Gala Baff says, we prefer the language of diplomacy, but we speak other languages far more fluently.
Break your commitments and we'll switch to what we speak best. You ride the horse, you saddle.
Let's take a look at what Al Jazeera said.
All right, we have just gotten some breaking news that we wanted to break in to tell you about.
some breaking news that we wanted to break in to tell you about. President Trump has just posted
on True Social. I'm going to read it here. He says, I've just been informed by our great military
that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache helicopters while
patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz. There were two pilots involved. Both are safe and uninjured.
Nevertheless, the United States must of necessity respond to this attack. Thank you for your attention
attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump.
So obviously this comes in the midst of President Trump trying to sort of tamp down tensions
between the Israelis and the Iranians in recent days and even saying earlier that he believed
that a deal between the United States and Iran to bring this war to an end once and
for all could come within two or three days.
Obviously now potentially that calculus could be changing.
Let's go now to Iran, where Al-Muqdad al-Rahid is standing by for us.
So Al-Muqdad, what do we know about what happened here?
And obviously this is early, but do we have any indication of anything from the Iranian
side?
Well, actually, from what we understand, this is apparently is a very serious escalation,
depending on what Donald Trump just posted on social media.
But from here, we don't actually, we don't have an official response to this event.
But at the same time, we do know that the Strait of Hormuz, the vicinity of the Strait
of Hormuz, is a territorial that right now IRGC Navy and the Iranian army are projecting
what they call their sovereignty, their defiance, their controlling such an important area.
And we've just yesterday heard from military commanders, Qa'ani, belong to Al Quds fleet,
belong to the IRGC, said that there's a new security measures linked between Babelmandib
and also between the state of Hormuz, all the way from the state of Hormuz to the Babelmandib
at the entrance.
What?
People in the comments are turning against rab?
Wait, why?
Vibes, the SA Dem won't defend Graham Platner. Chris Rav won't defend Graham Platner. Oh,
that's my goat. I don't care. I ride with Chris Rav. If he's got issues with Platner,
i ride with the rab
sorry
rab mentum
anyway let's continue
this is an area controlled by the ira
milz mafia is back on baby
janet pills milz mafia
rab just said he had no idea about platter than brought up featherman as a
p-a resident
and their allies. So while that's happening they are sending a very firm and red lines for this control area geographically and also sovereignty.
And we do know that this isn't a battlefield between Iranian and Americans over the past few weeks.
We have seen a lot of escalatory events between both sides, especially when it comes to the naval blockade
imposed by the United States Navy in the Arabian Sea and also
between the IRGC controlling such a strategic corridor. And now we have just heard from the Donald Trump that the
Apache have been landed by the IRGC, by the Iranian, and such as an important event right now
We do know that this can be a new calculation between both sides.
And we do know that IRGC projecting their-
You are not going to get black socials and communists alike, Platinum?
I know.
I don't even know what he said, by the way.
He might not be-
You know, full controls into that geographical area between the from the entrance of the
Bible from the entrance of the Strait of Hormuz and there is a designated route for shipping
and and many times shipping.
Actually they are presenting that as their new equation in the state of Hormuz new reality
on the street to foremost, which is becoming one of the main sticking point over the past
a few weeks in negotiating a table. And right now, this is at another complexity to the already
delicate situation when it comes to the to this particular front, adding to the southern Lebanon
to the southern of suburbs in Lebanon. So that all all of that happening right now,
bring us the idea of miss and by the way yeah black socials are not monolithic uh so
trust between iranian and americans when it comes to proceeding with the negotiations and
we have seen a lot of what the fuck
what the fuck just happened president trump jess
Al Jazeera just deleted that video while we were watching it. What the fuck?
Provided an update on that US military helicopter crash. He said,
I have just been informed by our great military that last night Iranians shot down one of our
highly sophisticated Apache helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz.
There were two pilots involved. Both are safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must
of necessity respond to this attack.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
President Donald J. Trump.
I'm gonna go straight to the White House, to Elena Trine.
Elena, what more are you hearing about
what the President might be referring to
in terms of responding?
Yeah, I think what this response will entail
is obviously the key question here.
We haven't gotten any more information
other than what the President had just shared
on social media.
One of the key parts of this post, Dana,
is that he is saying that it was the Iranians
that shot down this Apache helicopter.
That is more information, of course,
than we have gotten.
This statement from Sencom this morning,
all it had said was that the cause of the incident
is under investigation,
not giving any information about who was responsible.
Well, Trump is now saying it is the Iranians
who were responsible for downing that helicopter
and that they have to respond to the United States
out of necessity, very much in clear again what he means by this, if he means potential
strikes or something else, but that can definitely, of course, be a major complicating factor
after a very few tense days in this war, really, between after, of course, we saw Israel and
Iran exchanging fire, the president getting them to back off.
Now he's been optimistic, the latest we heard from him this morning, very optimistic about
a deal, but now saying he needs to respond to this.
And I do want to provide some...
Isn't it kind of surprising that they're not even trying to cover it up?
It is a little bit suspicious.
Information well about the importance of these Apaches, because this marks the downing of
this helicopter the first time an Apache was lost since this war began.
Typically, they have been responsible for precision attacks on some of these Iranian
small boats we know that I don't understand how an Apache helicopter runs into a fucking
Shahad drone by the way I don't understand it. It genuinely doesn't make sense. Like
the helicopter had to have dove in the direction of the Shahad drone if that's the case. The
Shahad drone would have been targeting something different and the Apache either engaging in
like an evasive maneuver wasn't able to evade it and fell in the water or something or they
just like I mean if they fucking got hit they got dinged by the drone I don't even know
how the pilots survive.
i don't understand how pilots survive helicopter crashes to begin with
airspace entirely uh... the airspace is entirely clear from iran the israel
strikes are incoming very soon
as clear as their airspace is always the first sign
the helicopter would not survive a hit the apache like the shot the drone down
in the drone exploded causing it to get hit by the shrapnel yeah maybe
there's something about this story is just like simply doesn't make sense
some are forcing the iran hit an apache with a hybrid drone missile 358 s a 67
a loitering SAM, a loitering surface-to-air missile, which makes more sense than a standard
shot head, launch from a rail guide. It can loiter for hours before honing in on an enemy
helicopter or drones. Yeah, that makes a little bit more sense. This is what the Houthis were
also using, right? I'm pretty sure. Didn't the Houthis also fucking use this to specifically
ding an F-35 as well or come very close to taking out an F-35.
There's, I mean, it can't, it doesn't make sense if it's a Shahad drone because the Shahad drones
are like, you know, you release them towards a stationary target and it goes and hits the target.
So if it was a shothead drone, it would either have to be a helicopter trying to intercept the shothead drone and then you know
the shot drone hits it or
The helicopter was like
Stationary in the air. I don't know like it was just like flying around
And got hit it just doesn't make sense like you you literally had had to have flown into the shothead drone
The only two options are if it's a shy drone they either try to intercept it and it exploded too
close and they had to do they had to crash the the chopper I don't know I thought some
Some of them can be remote-controlled, no, the Shahad drones are good at hitting stationary
targets.
I've been operating in the strait of Hormuz, the United States using them as part of the
Iranian blockade.
So all to say, it's unclear what this response is going to be.
I think we have a lot of work to do in our reporting with our sources on what this is
going to look like.
And I also think the fact that the President is even coming out and saying that there needs
to response, via response, is a huge signal in how he's trying to handle this entire
moment at a very fragile time for the ceasefire negotiations, Dana.
Yeah, it's so true.
All of the factors here are very important.
Thank you for bringing us this breaking news.
Let's go now to CNN's Zach Cohen.
Zach, tell us what you were hearing from sources and from the Pentagon.
Yeah, guys, we now know from two U.S. officials that it wasn't Iranian drone that took down
on this Apache helicopter that was operating
around the Strait of Hormuz.
And now this was a, we're told this is an Iranian Shahid drone.
This is one of-
By the way, put that up on the fucking leaderboard.
That's another like multi-million dollar asset lost
in this process.
Just, you know,
I know we're just burning through it,
like it's nobody's business,
but it is still fucking insane that it's happening at all.
Thousands of these types of one-way attack drones that Iran still has in its arsenal despite
the fact that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Pentagon have insisted that Iran's
military capabilities have been heavily degraded.
And again, this is a reminder too of the threat that Iran still poses not just to U.S. vessels
and aircraft operating in that key waterway, but also the commercial vessels that have
not yet.
The drone is faster than the helicopter, buddy.
It's one of those things where you just get out of the way.
What are you talking about?
If it's a shahed drone, it's on its way
to hit a stationary target.
I don't think Iran has the capability of,
like Iran, the shahed drones can't hit a helicopter.
I started to regularly transit for fear of attacks from the Iranian regime and so this
is a new detail.
Chatters bring up a very important and dare I say very good point, okay?
I'm sorry, I'll have you know.
If this helicopter wasn't shot down, Iran would have a nuclear weapon and I guess you're
right chatter we shouldn't forget that and I'm glad you meant I'm glad you
may maintain this position Iran was my sources are telling me Iran was merely
seconds away from a nuclear from from developing nuclear arsenal they were
enriching the uranium and and they were too busy hitting that Apache helicopter
So they forgot to enrich uranium beyond that point.
So I'm glad that we're out there still fighting the good fight.
None of it matters, but the US blockaded Iran as a war crime
as a part of illegal war of aggression launched February 28th.
International law seems so quaint now, even legacy media,
which until February 28th pontificated so much about the rule of law,
miraculously lost interest just in time.
Yeah, that my sources are telling me the Shahad drone was carrying
the enriched uranium actually in this, these helicopter pilots bravely stopped it from
uh, I don't know, doing a little tour over the fucking Gulf of Oman and then coming back
and then enriching the uranium inside of Iran or something, I don't even fucking know anymore
who gives a shit right?
Fuck it, wee ball, just make stuff up.
Yeah, it was carrying the nuclear dust.
Good morning today because early this morning the Pentagon said it was still
investigating what happened, what led to this crash of the Apache helicopter
around the Strait of Hormuz. We now know thanks to President Trump's tweet and
subsequent confirmation from US officials that it was an Iranian drone.
Now what remains unclear at this stage though is what the intent was. If this
was an intentional attack by the Iranians or if it was a collision of some
kinds but obviously if you read the president's statement, the true social
post right there. It doesn't really seem that he sees a difference between the
two and that he feels it's important that the US aircraft was hit by an
Iranian drone and that the US now, quote, must respond.
And Zach, do we know what options are being weighed as a response?
Yeah, Boris, the military has been developing a series of options. We've seen
them also respond to other Iranian attacks, aggressive actions around the
straight-up or moves over the last few days, even, it will be interesting to see if the
U.S. response is ultimately proportional, or if Donald Trump does order the military
to carry out something more significant.
We know the military has been developing a target list of potential targets around the
straight-up or moves, things like these drone launch sites, missile launch sites, things
that are key to Iran's ability to pose a threat to vessels operating in and out of the straight-up
or moves, which is effectively how they've shaped.
Now's about the time to also maintain our support for the big beautiful president in his big beautiful ballroom.
I do feel like if the president had a ballroom, this probably would have also not happened.
Just want to point that out.
If the president had his big, beautiful ballroom, this Trump, this, this, this situation probably would not have taken place.
A lot of people don't want to recognize that.
You know?
Trump's is a wrong shot down US helicopter, US will respond.
A U.S. Army AH-64 Apache helicopter went down near the Shidahore moose off the coast of
Oman, Monday, with both crew members rescued within hours and reported in stable condition
by U.S. authorities.
President Trump said on TrueSocial that Iran shot down the helicopter and that the U.S.
must, out of necessity, respond.
Iran's RGC Navy claimed it shot down the aircraft after it ignored warnings targeting
it with fire from a speedboat.
The Pentagon has not confirmed or denied the Iranian account.
I mean, Iran has been inconsistent with this as well.
They initially said that they didn't do it.
What is this?
Talk about Grand Platinum for two hours, please.
Talk about Grand Platinum for two hours, please.
Are you okay?
Are you all right, man?
Like you could have said that while I was in the process of talking about Grand Platinum.
I mean, it is literally main primary day today.
So there will probably be a little bit of grand platinum talk,
but it's very funny to get mad preemptively.
It's very strange to get mad preemptively
about a thing that I'm not doing.
Logs, please, I usually don't ask.
The Shaheads have to have some end of flight,
human and the loop capability.
The early videos where it's hitting specific rooms
hotels suspicious without a human in the loop? No, it's not. They get the targets ahead of time
and then they strike it. They get the targets from maybe other foreign countries and their better
surveillance capabilities or maybe Iranian indigenous surveillance capabilities take the
priority targets and they lob them afterwards.
I would suggest changing your tie at some point with low brother. I disagree. I think this tie is fucking fire. It's a vintage polar Ralph Lauren tie that I got. And I really like it. And I think you're wrong.
How about that?
The song can't read.
Wait, what?
Why did I read?
Anyway, it's going to be down that key waterway since the early days of this conflict.
So it ultimately will be up to President Trump, though, to decide how to move forward here.
how to move forward here.
The key thing to watch forward is,
will this response be proportional,
or will this be something that escalates
the conflict further?
Zach, last month you and our colleague, Natasha Bertrand,
reported that Iran had restarted building drones.
It had re-upped its drone production during the ceasefire.
Is there any reflection on the part
of administration officials that the ceasefire,
being dragged out now, weeks and weeks,
is giving Iran these capabilities.
Yeah, Breonna, that's something that we hear from sources
and US officials in private for sure,
but we have not heard the President in particular
or Defense Secretary, if you'd except,
voiced a similar concern, really painting a more optimistic
and a more confident view of the damage
that the US military has inflicted
on the Iranians' capabilities.
But like you mentioned, we reported that the Iranians
have been using this time, the ceasefire,
to reconstitute many of its military capabilities
already restarted production on some of these attack drones, these attack drones that, as
we're seeing today, are capable of taking down an Apache helicopter, also a threat
to U.S. Navy ships and commercial ships alike.
Look, this is a war that the U.S. and Israel started, and the President was very clear
that he wanted it to be over very quickly, and time and time again, things have happened
as is what happens in war, that sets back his desire for a deal.
We have heard so many times that a deal is in the offing.
Sometimes last week he said potentially as soon as this weekend he told farmers in Wisconsin
that the fertilizer cost at Skyrocket because of the war would be down in 90 days because
he was going to take care of it.
Let me just interrupt.
Sorry, Dasha, just to play what the president said last night about this very thing.
They're going back and forth.
The chair is so unbearable and it hurts my butt sitting on it.
Even though I got a juicy fat ass, it's still not enough cushion for me.
So sometimes I have to stand up.
And now they both agreed through me to stop and we're in the final throes of what will
be a very very good deal that will not allow in any way shape or form nuclear weapons etc.
and that his straight will open up right away.
It'll open up immediately upon signing,
which could be in two or three days.
Two or three days.
And there he was talking about Iran and Israel
and the fire that's been going back and forth there.
But if you look back, our colleague Aaron Blank
did a terrific report that you can see on CNN.com.
Since this ceasefire started two months ago,
the president has at least 38 times said some version
of a deal is around the corner.
And he's been really pushing for diplomacy here,
and he has been calling this a ceasefire.
It's really a ceasefire only by the president's definition,
which he recently said just means
a more moderate amount of shooting for that region,
because you have seen a very hot Middle East
in the wake of all of this.
Yeah, and I think she's right.
The president believes that there can still be some shooting
and the ceasefire holds, but you-
Yeah, but that's not how a ceasefire works, is it?
I mean, that makes no sense.
like words, what are they?
What do they mean?
How do words work?
You can't say it's a fucking ceasefire
if there's no cessation of fire.
You know?
Ridiculous.
I've seen him so hesitant to restart these kinetic attacks.
Even last night he said, you know, we could bomb,
that's an option, but the Strait of Hormuz
would be closed for much longer.
What has been much more helpful, he said, I'm paraphrasing,
is the blockade.
And so obviously we're learning more about what the,
or we need to learn more about what the person's gonna do.
I've asked whether or not he's gonna be in a situation
for monitoring, haven't heard back.
And then a SINCOM commander, or the SINCOM commander
who has been the leading role of kind of announcing
to the public what has been happening kinetically,
including those responses to those boat strikes
that we've sailed the last two weeks,
is supposed to be briefing at 2 p.m. on the hill.
Remains to be seen at that still.
And it also, because it takes two to tango,
but also says something that Iran is so brazen
that they shot down Apache helicopters.
That doesn't sound like someone who's working towards
a deal to end all of this,
not just making the shooting less frequent,
but ending it entirely.
It shows that ending wars,
they're easy to start, very hard to end,
and Donald Trump has been making promises
that are easier said than done.
And we just have something else,
And this is from the speaker of the Iranian parliament,
which was posted right before President Trump posted
what we reported to you.
And the Iranian speaker said,
we prefer the language of diplomacy,
but we speak other languages far more fluently.
Break your commitments and we'll switch
to what we speak best.
You ride the horse, you saddle.
Wow.
Wow.
You talk about brazen, this is pretty brazen.
and the fact that Iran has kind of used
Trump's own style online in response to him
is pretty striking.
I mean, we were not hearing this kind of language
in these kinds of threats out of Iran until very recently.
And so much of this conflict has been,
a strike would happen and it was unclear
how high that strike was ordered because of the inability,
because of after those strikes that took out
those top leaders, the inability for one side
of the iran government military to talk to the other
uh... and i think that dot on trump has for a couple different times that
you know those tracks are happening because they're not talking to the
people restarts are talking to be happening because they're not talking
to the people and so with that to eat
is he going to say that again
all by the way while that was taking place is really air strikes were hitting
lebanon's tire and uh... killing eight people
this is of course a
violation
is of course a violation of the the uh... iranian demands
to restrain israel in lebanon
israel is directly violating the uh... demands the iranian side is making
here's a dot bus iraqi the foreign minister of the islamic republic of
iran in his statement
foreign forces in proximity to our territory are a constant risk on
account of their own human errors plan accidents or potentially being caught in
crossfire
to do to reduce risk the best solution
is for them to leave we prefer the language of diplomacy but speak other
languages too
tehran
on uh... tehran this morning release the statement the shirt of hormones is not
international waters but shared between iran and oman
and located thousands of miles away from u.s shores maritime boundaries are
crystal clear
our powerful armed forces are in constant alert for any violation of iran's
airspace land or waters
foreign forces in proximity to our territory error are at constant risk on
account of their own human errors, plane accidents, or potentially being caught in crossfire to
reduce risk. The best possible solution is for foreign forces to exit as soon as possible,
an environment which will never be hospitable to a hostile presence. Iran prefers the language
of diplomacy, however our brave warriors have shown to the world that there are, that we
know how to speak other languages too. And then they show a fucking map of the territorial
waters between Oman and Iran, which is very funny.
With major strikes on tire today, Israel pushing at the limits of what both its main enemy
and its main ally are prepared to tolerate.
A brief but intense re-escalation ended yesterday, with Iran saying Israel had now to stop its
attacks on Lebanon.
Israel aware too that the U.S. president wants to smooth the path to his putative impending
agreement with Iran.
Israel's Prime Minister aware of the need domestically to show he's still able to hit
Hezbollah.
It's also pretty crazy that they're just like openly stating this, where they're like,
yeah, Israel has to flex.
Like Israel has to do a show of force because of internal considerations.
Oh, so they just have to keep murdering people, otherwise like the public will get mad at
Benjamin Netanyahu.
Okay, then.
I guess it's fine, then.
I find it rather odd that they're so fucking callous about wanton murder.
And we all just have to look, we, we all have to just look in the opposite
direction and be like, yep, that's just the calculation.
What else can Israel do unimpeded with no accountability whatsoever?
Uh, just because they have domestic considerations.
Thank God they're a democracy, by the way.
Oh my God.
God forbid, if they weren't democratically demanding more death and destruction.
His military ordering a massive evacuation for Tyre in its surrounding areas, including
for the first time the Christian quarter, which Israel says has now been infiltrated
by Hezbollah fighters.
Oh, the Christian quarters are also, it's so strange.
Oh, they're also Hamas.
I mean Hezbollah, sorry.
Isn't that crazy?
coincidence everyone that Israel kills no matter what age they are no matter
what their background is they always happen to be Hamas I mean sorry not
Hamas sorry Hezbollah this time because it's Lebanon
Wow what a strange coincidence I can't believe it also guess what Hezbollah
is, they're Lebanese. The easiest way to not accidentally or intentionally murder more
Lebanese people is to not invade Lebanon and blow up Lebanese villages. But what do I fucking
know?
Thousands of civilians, including families, children and the elderly, and preserves a
a rich cultural, historical and religious heritage
that spans many centuries.
Any attack or destruction of this neighborhood
would constitute a humanitarian catastrophe.
Tens of thousands now fleeing their homes again,
since March, more than a million people
have registered as displaced.
After the warnings and tire we left,
we picked up and left.
Where should we go?
There is nowhere to go.
We'll end up in the streets.
We have to be reassured and safe, it's not fear, but one cares about fact.
Or maybe don't start a war you can't win.
Are you talking about Israel?
Is that, is that where you're talking about?
I mean who's starting wars here that they can't win?
If not Israel.
Has Israel ever even fought a war on their own?
Did you forget that 102 days ago, America and Israel started this war against Iran?
What's going on here?
I mean, seriously.
It's always Israel has a right to defend itself. Israel has a right to defend itself. Israel has a right to defend itself.
And it's always deployed when Israel is, you know, offensively defending itself. The greatest defense is a strong offense, right?
I cannot get this New York Times headline from yesterday out of my head what important form of propaganda is subtly lying about who is attacking
Who is the attacking aggressor and who is framed merely as responding the 15-hour fight with Iran showed the bind Israel is in as a brace for a
Possible US Iranian peace deal Israel now knows that if it responds forcefully to attacks by Hezbollah Iran may strike with Israel with missiles
How ridiculous! Israel is literally, Israel has invaded Lebanon.
Israel has quite literally invaded Lebanon. Israel is currently occupying Lebanese territory.
Israel never stopped killing the Lebanese population. Throughout any ceasefire they just kept drone striking over and over again.
again. It was only after Hezbollah retaliated for once that people turn around and said,
wow, how dare they retaliate? Bro, did you have like 80% of the money of the world, even
if they are offensive, stand the fuck down if you can't win? Wait, what? Oh my God,
What a fucking response dude.
Jesus Christ dude, holy shit.
Dude is both anti-Semitic and pro-Israel.
Holy fuck.
That is hilarious man.
Jesus Christ.
He said, no man, I read the protocols.
They got special powers.
Don't even fuck with them.
Facebook ad response holy.
I'm the indignator.
Take a lane buddy.
I don't know where we're going.
For the south, more Israeli strikes on Shia villages.
Israel's saying too that an armed man crossed into its territory from Lebanon and was shot dead.
For Israelis in the north, little faith in what remains a nominal ceasefire.
I simply don't believe in it.
I think we need to complete this mission to the end and achieve long-term peace.
Long-term peace for the residents of the north, and by the way, for the entire state of Israel.
Israel's army chief today saying there was a plan for a much broader strike on Iran,
one that remains on the table, seemingly confirming reports in Israel that President Trump spiked
it at the last minute, the Prime Minister Netanyahu complied.
I think the main accusation is that he has somehow outsourced Israel's freedom of action
and that Israel is being constrained by America.
You know, all joking aside about Trump as an mediator, what he really has been doing
quite a bit more effectively than the United Nations is constraining Israel when Israel
doesn't want to be constrained.
But the U.S. president who last night gave his now customary two- to three-day horizon
from agreement with Iran, also constrained by the unpredictable events of the war he launched.
Posting on social media this evening, I have just been informed by a great military
that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache helicopters while
patrolling over the Strait of Homoes. There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured.
Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.
The U.S. military said the helicopter crew were rescued from the strait by an unmanned
sea drone.
The incident coming at the same time as reports have acquired increase in traffic through
the strait, tankers bearing Gulf oil and gas, with transponders turned off.
Such progress, though, at best uncertain and contingent, with the U.S. president now promising
to strike Iran, and Israel's prime minister determined to show his freedom to keep striking
his bullet.
Well, let's go to our US editor, Anushka Astana.
Anushka, everyone in Iran is wondering what Trump means by responding to the downing of
this helicopter.
Is there any clearer where you are?
Well, I suspect he means something pretty limited.
Don't get me wrong, this is a really worrying thing to happen.
We're in the middle of a very shaky ceasefire.
This sounds like direct fire from the Iranians onto a US helicopter.
it sounds like the president himself saying that he is going to retaliate. But I think
it is important to put it in the context of the broader mood music. You know, the president
said he had just been informed about this, but actually he knew about it last night.
The reason I know that is that he came out to speak to reporters after going to a Nick's
basketball game in New York, and at one point he was asked about it, and he said, the pilots
are OK, we'll give you more information tomorrow. But what was interesting was that was a 15
session with journalists, the question came 12 minutes in. For the entire first half of that event,
Trump was instead talking about Washington DC and how beautiful it had become under his presidency.
He was talking about the £13 million upgrade of the reflecting pool beside behind me. He was
talking about the fountains that were coming up. You didn't sound like this was at the forefront
of his mind. In fact, only halfway through did he come to Iran and again, positive news music. He
He said we could have a deal within two or three days even after he knew about that helicopter
So look, I think he thinks that he needs to respond
But he wants this to be over not least because right here in America. They're getting ready for the World Cup
Indeed and an Iranian team is prepping for that World Cup and getting ready to wear into the country
Yeah, an Iranian team that has already faced a lot of controversy
They're prepping for the World Cup, not here, but in the neighbouring host, Mexico, because
the Americans didn't want them to be based in the US.
Only a few days ago did we find out that the players would get visas to cross the border.
They're in Group G. They've got games in LA next week and they've been told their support
staff might not be able to come with them.
Meanwhile, their fans have just been told their allocations won't stand.
A Somali referee has been told he can't come in and talk about dynamic pricing, Chris.
you need a spare $1,000 to go to a game.
That's not even mentioning the car park pricing.
But look, everyone is getting excited for all that.
There's a huge fan zone being erected further down the mall,
just like all over America.
And even though football fans might not always be in the games,
they're certainly getting ready to watch them.
Thanks, Anushka.
Well, since the US and Israel began the war in February,
girl states have been caught in the middle
with civilian infrastructure and U.S. military bases on their soil struck by Iran.
Earlier, I spoke to Dr. Dania Taffer, the Executive Director of the Gulf International
Forum, who's based in Doha, and I asked her how the Gulf nations see the latest developments
in this conflict.
From the perspective of the Gulf states, just recently having the exchange of fires, fire
between the Israelis and the Iranians already raises concerns.
And let's not forget that just within a week, a few Gulf states have received attacks.
Oman has been attacked, not a lot to know about it.
Kuwait has been attacked quite aggressively, and so has Bahrain.
So they're still feeling the brunt of this war, so they're very nervous.
The stakes are high, and they're hoping for a deal to come through.
Right, so what does this mean for the equation around escalation dominance?
Well, that's a good question.
So escalation dominance is not something that the Gulf states are very happy about, because
from the Iranian perspective, they have escalation dominance when it comes to the Gulf region
more properly, more so than they do have with direct confrontation with Israel.
And that puts the Gulf states in a very precarious situation, because the Iranians can escalate
horizontally by bringing in the Houdi card, which they did sort of bring it in when it
comes to Israel more properly.
But it hasn't affected the Gulf states as of yet in a tangible way.
And also, the Gulf states are being held hostage in this war.
And so anytime there's an escalation, the risk increases for the Gulf states.
And Iran's asymmetric strategy is to raise the cost economically speaking on the international
community through attacking the Gulf states and blockading the Strait of Hormuz.
The feeling here amongst the Iranian government and its supporting politicians is that they
feel increasingly confident that they have established a sort of a new rule, if you like,
in the region that if Israel were to hit Beirut,
then they will be able to hit Israel.
And that the Americans clearly don't want that.
And that makes them feel like they're in control.
Where does that, do you think that is how
the Gulf States will see it as well?
That Iran has actually had a boost
from what has happened over the last two days.
I think the Gulf States in general worry
that Iran has felt a boost through this whole war.
because obviously this war has been very costly for the Gulf States, extremely costly for many states
and the global economy, especially the global south.
So I think that Iran actually feels quite confident in its position
and is willing to tolerate a high degree of pain that most countries will not, including the Gulf States.
The odd thing about this, though, is that Iran seems to be tolerating what is going on
in southern Lebanon is that going to be the new normal that Iran will continue to tolerate this
until it doesn't well i agree with you iran did not react um to uh yes israel flexed the tire
shooting is israel saying you're not going to do shit okay like iran by either pure accident
or deliberately taking out an american helicopter doesn't change that dynamic uh iran said that
their red lines were their red lines and they're now allowing Israel to violate their red lines
unless they actually send a missile salvo in Israel's direction once again.
But it's clear that Israel is the unstable partner here and is the one that does not want a ceasefire
to take place and is doing everything in its fucking power to shoot at, to shoot at as many
Lebanese people as they possibly can in an effort to say nope you don't get to have a say here we control
Whether or not there is a ceasefire
Iran shoot down of us Apache over Hormuz wasn't a big deal says Donald Trump
What the fuck bro? What is happening in this goddamn country man?
What is happening in this goddamn country what the fuck?
I don't even know what to say anymore. I mean, that's the smart thing to do is to de-escalate here
But if you're gonna de-escalate after they fucking took out a helicopter, you might as well do a ceasefire
Trump just getting on true social to be like Iran shut down one of our best helicopters
Please don't ask what this means for American hegemony and military superiority
We will do absolutely nothing, which by the way is probably a lie. Just so you understand. That's probably there's no way
Cerned
Israel attacking Lebanon we're talking about more than
3,000 Lebanese have died and this war at the hands of
It Israeli attacks, but also the fact that Iran has maintained the ceasefire for a month and a half
while the people of Lebanon have been dying until the Hezbollah
stronghold and the southern suburbs of Beirut were actually.
We should celebrate the decline of American might. I mean it's not a cost for
celebration if we don't manage the decline. My argument is to manage the
decline because the decline is an inevitability. It's just reality. It's
already happening. Whether we celebrate it or not, that doesn't change the
dynamic. It's already taking place, it's already happened, and now people can
actually see it. The problem is what we do next matters the most. Okay, what we do
now matters quite a bit. If we don't actually recognize what's taking place
and then try to manage that decline to ensure that it's not as belligerent as
physically possible, which is unfortunately the direction that we're
heading down. Okay. Then things are gonna be, things are gonna be devastating. Because
empires don't die quietly. I mean, this was the whole purpose of the, the Yale speech
that I delivered. Right. This was exactly what I was trying to get across. Empires,
in that, empires inevitably fall. There's no such thing as like a permanent empire.
And America's demise is here. The American Empire's decline is here. Now it's up to us
us to make sure that we retreat, focus on ourselves, ensure that that decline is managed
and not violent.
But obviously my assessment or my sentiment here is utterly irrelevant.
It's immaterial.
It doesn't matter.
Netanyahu to the security cabinet says Israel may need to face Iran without the support
of the U.S.
It will be difficult, but that's the direction we're headed in.
The mirror on US Iran says almost any agreement is a bad agreement.
Israel is not exactly an unmitigated hawkish force.
The sweet spot for them is actually the state of no deal, no war that degrades Iranian society.
So they want to maintain this like weird limbo where they get to take pot shots at whoever
the fuck they want, advance on Lebanese territory, unimpeded and unrestricted.
And I guess that's kind of the current deal at play right now.
It's not a real deal.
No real ceasefire.
This is what Trudeau was talking about when he said this is the worst possible outcome
for Iran, anything short of obviously defeating Iran militarily.
This would be the worst possible outcome for Iran where there is this loop, the almost
loophole, there's like legal limbo. Is there a ceasefire? Is there not a ceasefire? They get no
sanctions relief. They get to control the shade of hormones. However, they don't get to control the
shade of hormones, but they don't get to actually receive any sort of American sanctions release.
risk. Therefore, I think it really shows that this war isn't about Lebanon or the Lebanese
people. This war is about Iran's forward strategy and maintaining its Hezbollah stronghold.
Daniel Faffer, thank you very much. It is tempting to see Iran.
Trudeau-Parsley, one of the most true sentences ever written. A regional order organized around
Israeli impunity requires levels of coercion that are accelerating American decline. Yes, 100%.
100%. America is doing Israel's bidding in the region because it thinks that in the long term,
I guess, or at least some of the calculations are that in the long term Israeli dominance in Israeli
impunity in the region or an entire region that is destabilized at the behest of Israel will be
beneficial for American interest, it's not the case at all. It's actually both in the
short term and the long term, devastating for American interest.
This was also the writing on the wall for the post-October 7 strategy, the bear hook
strategy that Benjamin Nanyahu and Joe Biden engaged in, right? That's part of the reason
why there were people within the State Department that were obviously very critical and said
said this is not a good idea.
As a people ruled by fear and fervor,
a religious state underpin by military might,
there is of course much more going on.
And two wars in one year
have had a complex impact on many people.
We do not need a white savior
in order to save us, let's say.
We can solve other problems here.
In between the polarized reactions on the street,
There are generations wrestling with whether they can build a future without burning down the present.
For whom change in modern Iran still dances to the tune of thousands of years of Persian culture.
Now what we have? We are in a dead end. We are in a dead end. And we have to change ourselves.
It's the first co-working space of the country, we can say. It was founded in 2013.
The Innovation Factory is a hub for Iranian startups built out of a converted factory around
the hopes created from Obama's Iran nuclear deal, the JCPOA. But the motivation of entrepreneurs
like Ahmad and Hussain now is very different.
I mean, the war was a turning point, I'm saying.
Yes.
that we started to see things differently.
We saw that there's an outer force
that want to cripple the country
and it doesn't really matter which government.
It is about Iran as an entity,
as a national state that they want to cripple.
And we saw this as an obligation for us
to actually do something in this situation.
You'd be happy with whatever system effectively.
Is there a type of government that is-
Now let's be clear.
Let's be clear, okay?
We have problems.
We have a lot of problems.
but it's not about people coming out of this country
to solve our problems.
And don't get us wrong.
I mean, we do have an unidiotopia,
which is democratic and developed and everything.
I mean, we cherish this picture,
but we do not want to, I don't know,
use streets as a way to achieve that.
It is about doing what we do,
and by doing what we do,
improving the situation step by step until we get there.
That change in mindset caused by the war is partly why they didn't join the process in
January in which thousands were killed, even though they have marched for democracy before.
We were on the streets, I was a student, I was in the green movement and I was on the
street.
We went through this together and then we saw that we had this fantasy as Ahmad says about
how outside forces would come to our, let's say, help.
what we see right now clearly as we are in our fourth decade of our life, we can see that
regardless of the rhetoric, regardless of what they say about, let's say freedom and I don't know
the democratic values and whatever, it is a clear project to cripple the country.
Hossein and Ahmed want to build Iran's economy, which they believe will help deliver political
and social change. It's a long way from those who want a rapid end to the Islamic Republic.
So what do you say to those people? You say this view is the one that defends the people
who are in power now and keeps them in power and that this is just a clever way of propaganda
izing the defense of the government?
I mean if they are outside the country I can actually understand they expect that once
they own people bomb, they gave up the game, they are gone. So I would say it's not off,
This is the country we are striving in, we are fighting this fight and this is our fight.
This is not some other people's fight, it is not Americans' fight, it is our fight.
We need to fight this fight.
In Iran, rock and roll is no longer the sound of rebellion.
There is an underground scene where the Islamic Republic has also accepted and licensed Persian
rock like Heeman and his band Zavush.
What are the rules if you want to be in a rock band in Iran?
They basically have a jury, you know, they decide if the lyrics is fine or not.
And then they hear the music.
It's so funny to be like, hey, I know you guys protest against the government during democracy
protest but why do you actually want the RGC to remain intact as opposed to the alternative option
which would be the complete destabilization of Iran and the destruction of thousands of years
of history and shared culture at the best of a foreign country that has done a genocide to
people that don't look that different than you do and have a shared culture as well. Why won't you
you just allow Iran to be balkanized and leave the entire region in a state of disarray.
Yeah, of course, they're going to be like, this was the calculation from my end as well,
by the way. This is precisely what I said as well, if you recall. Okay, if you recall,
this is precisely what I said early on, when it was very clear that there was no real,
like, regime change happening, which by the way, shouldn't be up to us regardless, obviously.
But if you recall, I said the only pathway forward for the Iranian population from this
point on is literally for the IRGC to be able to successfully and militarily deter Israel
and defend the Iranian borders.
That was 102 days ago.
If you recall, 102 days ago I said, and leading up to the fucking troops amassing in the
in the region, I said over and over again that the IRGC was the only option for the Iranian
population and that the only other alternative would be complete destruction of Iran.
Meanwhile, here's what Reza Pahlaoui's talking about. The Islamic Republican in support of his
Bilal Terrace in Lebanon has started yet another military conflict and further revealed its anti-Iranian
nature. This regime has taken the Iranian nation hostage and views the lives and property
of Iranians as mere tools.
Shameless says not a fucking word from this guy, but the bombing of Iranian port cities
and islands during the ceasefire, but as soon as Israeli air bases are attacked, suddenly
it's time to start sounding the alarm about how the Islamic Republic only fights on behalf
of others. Something interesting to me, the Farsi version of this message includes a phrase
talking about the Islamic Republic revealing its anti-Iranian and un-Iranian nature, implying
a foreign Arab-coded occupation. The English message only says anti-Iranian
nature.
Israeli ministers clashed in a cabinet meeting Monday over how to escalate against both Iran
and Hezbollah according to I-24 News. Foreign minister Sahr warned Hezbollah was trying
to draw Israel into a war of attrition. Minister Al-Qaeda said Israel had managed to strike
Iran without visibly undermining ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations. Minister Oret Shrak
argued that territorial pressure remain the most effective lever against
hezbollah
they understand when you take their territory he said
the meeting room or contentious when national security minister bank of your
proposed attaining has below members wives and youth in dedicated prisons
that's what hurts them the most he said
straight up fucking nazi
yeah but when i say
the this is a nazi country
and they got you know more aggressive nazi they got less aggressive nazi but
is still a fucking Nazi country doing Nazi actions. I'm the bad guy.
Former Shembet chief Avi Dichter called for a heart of strikes on Iran in the next round.
Minister Wasserdorf demanded more munitions funding, calling out finance minister Smotridge
saying Smotridge needs to open the purse strings and wake up. Defense minister Katz backed
urgent expansion of IDF ammunition stockpiles.
What is more extreme than this statement? I'm thinking about it and it's like, what?
The only other historic equivalent at that point would be Vlad the Impaler shit, right?
They have to like if each of our bank giver came out and was like we have to like, you know
Behead them and put their heads on pikes or something
Like that's actually because he's literally saying we should mask kidnap women and children
And then motherfuckers be like whoa, whoa, whoa, dude, this is not reflective of
The broader Israeli society's attitudes like well, it doesn't even fucking matter does it?
whether it's reflective of the broader attitude or not, because he's a part of the leadership structure.
And it's not like these guys are going, hey man, that was pretty extreme, I think you should no longer be a part of the fucking war cabinet.
Dick, and decide if it's okay or not.
And what do they tell you about the content? Like, can you sing about love, sex, dark notes?
You can think about anything, but with no insultation and...
Mevlana! That's sick. We own, Turks are so shameless and take ownership over Mevlana as well.
A little bit.
Maybe I was misinformed when I was growing up, but I grew up thinking that Memelana was like, you know, also turk-coded.
No political angles.
The war has been disastrous for them. Unable to perform or sell music to struggling fans, they haven't earned money for months.
The impression I'm getting is that to say...
Yeah, it's because Merulana is in Konya, inside of Turkish boundaries.
Surviving around, doing what you love and doing what you want to do.
You kind of have to have a tunnel vision.
You know, you have to kind of turn a blind eye to the things that are going on.
It's not tunnel vision, it's tolerance, you know.
It's...
Just accepting.
Yeah, it's acceptance, you know.
know this is the way the things are. What do you want to do? People have no
power exactly in the name of power of people. Power of people means you can
change the Prime Minister in Great Britain in one week if the people they
don't like him or her. Can they? In this country, it's a big dog. That's not how it goes either.
You know, not saying that like the Iranian system is better. I don't believe that.
But probably not the best example to point to a notoriously unpopular leader in a country that
has been demanding that he resign and a party that is not showing any consideration to the
demand from the masses. It's just funny because look, look, all things considered, if we're being
totally fair here, okay? Obviously, the notion of like political repression taking place in
foreign adversary nations is simply causes belly for American intervention. It's not actually a real
reason why Western imperialism takes place. It's just the way to justify it, right?
But slowly, but surely, over time, as Western superpowers, global prominence, wanes, we
are also seeing the exact same or rather similar attempts at state repression, take root here
in the United States of America and certainly in the UK as well.
Obviously, it's not to the same degree as the IRGC.
I'm not saying that.
But make no mistake.
It was already bullshit to offer justification for military intervention, especially when
we know that that kind of military intervention only hardens the position of the state, no
matter how repressive it is, as we have seen in Iran.
But also on top of that, we are seeing similar attempts at state repression in the Western
world.
out we don't give a fuck about it when it's happening here either okay we don't care we're doing it
it hasn't gotten to the point of you know developing prisons specifically for political
dissidents and and jailing them for you know ridiculous reasons but but we're certainly
moving in that direction, or absolutely moving in that direction, and this is yet another
thing that I predicted ahead of time and told you, or warned ahead of time, and told you
what most likely happened, right?
I said that as America's power around the globe is contested, as America is no longer
the hegemonic superpower status that it enjoyed in the post-World War II design of the world,
even during the Cold War. Obviously, there were instances where America would restrict speech
and political expression quite openly, right, as it felt under threat by another superpower.
But as America's hegemonic status, especially in the post-90s end of history period that we lived through,
goes away, you will see a very different state, one that does not care about the bountiful liberties that it claims to enjoy,
Enjoy it claims to protect for its own citizens. We're there right now
I mean, this is even the referee story like don't you feel like that's a clear-cut example of this like this is what a weak country
Does right?
Somali referee Omar Artan was questioned for 11 hours before being denied entry
I'm just the referee trying to live my biggest dream go to the World Cup. I'm really really disappointed
I had the correct documents and the correct visa,
I think they have a problem with my country.
This is not what a powerful country does.
This is what a weak country does,
a weak country that wants to enforce its power
on some of the most vulnerable populations.
That's it.
Like you think this guy's a fucking terrorist dude?
You think this guy's a danger?
We can't have this guy on American soil. What are you out of your fucking mind?
An award-winning referee won in 2025. I think the best referee in the African
continent too. But regardless,
even if he wasn't an award-winning referee, he's just a referee from Somalia.
We are the most powerful country on the planet and we're scared of a fucking
referee from Somalia. Get the fuck out of here.
It's just a pure, it's just a purest expression of racism, racist violence, and we're doing
it to feel powerful.
And we only do this to feel powerful because we are actually aware of our powerlessness.
It's that simple.
Except some things or many things.
A lot of people are getting very angry at this idea that change is gradual.
Change is gradual.
And they want change now.
saying, you know, a lot of people who've left the country are saying, we can't go back.
We can't see our families, can't see our property.
You know, you need to get rid of the government now.
Living in Iran from
1000 years before till now,
teach you if you want to be alive and see your grandkids, you have to
little bit hypocrite and shut your mouth down sometimes and it's better you keep
your head down and this is a culture we suffer by our own culture much has been
written about Iran's eclectic cultural elasticity as key to the longevity of
Persian civilization. The Islamic Republic at war is a small moment in that timeline
and it's as clear as the government feels this has gained the upper hand in recent days.
Generations of Iranians are wrestling with how elastic they should be in their sense
of national unity and their desire for change.
The Iranian got what they want so we basically lost.
No share we didn't win but we are not winning for two years.
Tel Aviv speaks out after Iran strikes Hall.
Incredible work man.
Yeah, no politik here, no politik here.
ready. Almost three. The Israelis, the people of Israel are losing for sure. No one's slept,
kids aren't in schools. Who's at work? All of the restaurants that are usually busy or empty.
It's 12 hours of missiles are a waste of time for us.
We didn't get anything out of that.
Iranian got what they want, which is to create an equation between Lebanon and Tel Aviv.
So basically now Israel is locked in terms of Lebanon and locked in terms of Iran.
So, we basically lost.
For sure we didn't win but we are not winning for two years already.
three. That's winning, having every six months, having a little bit of missiles for my run.
I think also the Israelis, the people of Israel are losing for sure. No one slept, kids aren't
in schools. Who's at work, all of the restaurants that are usually busy or empty. There's no tourism.
He says it like it's a bad thing that Israel got put in its place. His idea of losing is Israel
not being the regional superpower over its neighbors. Yes, dude, it's a fucking domineering
ideology. Because remember, every single other country in the region are subhuman from their
perspective. Like these are, these are Arabs. The very racist society, Zionism is a racist
ideology. It's so funny that people make a big fuss about me saying this, this factually
accurate thing. Okay. You're tying not look better, but I had the stripes with the pattern.
Okay. Thanks.
I'm the other one. How dare you?
Iran shouldn't be acting as like the patron of the area and shoot on us because we defend our
people and if they yeah yeah Iran who the fuck do they think they are Israel only
we get to do that literally that's the entire argument here is why do you think
Iran gets to behave like Israel only we get to behave this way America fucked
us and eventually they will turn on America they will event I mean if they
haven't already they'll eventually say like oh it was America's fault
Obviously, there's not going to be any like reflection on the the increased belligerence increased militarism
and and
you know
How how the rest of the region sees Israel? There's no
There's no consideration about that. It'll just be America's the responsible party here. They actually are restraining us
It's really fucked up
Do shoot on us then you know there's gonna be consequences to be honest I
wish they would attack even harder. I told you this before already there's a
there's also like this is considered egregious by Israeli societal standards
it's not the death and destruction of October 7 that was the most frustrating
element it was the fact that these Arabs were able to engage in an uprising it
It was the Arabs that were able to do this, and that was unbelievable, right?
It's like, it's a far, like, if you're, if you think, societally speaking, if Zionism
is a racist ideology, which it is, then the people that you have subjugated, the people
that you've humiliated, rising up is extra egregious, because it's Arabs that are of
lower status of lower class inferior beings that were able to to take the
lives of israeli citizens like that's that's considered exceptional that's
considered additionally unacceptable
and the same goes for Iran and maybe show the the ayatulahs you know that
they shouldn't be doing what they're doing and if they're doing it then you
You know, there'd be severe consequences, but they didn't.
And to be honest, I'm a little bit disappointed.
If this happened in the U.S., there would be riots.
The only riots that might resolve from this in Israel will come if this soldier is arrested,
would love to be proven wrong.
Yeah, Betselam obtained the footage.
A top Somalian referee has been...
Betselam obtained the footage that uncovers the moments when Abu Haikal's family was
shot. Seven month old Sam Abohaiqa was killed in the shooting and both his parents were
injured. The footage clearly shows that the Israeli soldier fired at cars as it was, um,
as it was slowing. Hold on. I'm not going to, I'm not going to show you this, obviously,
but yeah, um, fired at his car as it was slowing to a stop. The car was far from the soldiers
and posed no danger to them whatsoever. I can't show this on stream. Obviously there's blood in
in the video. Moments later, in another video obtained by Bicellum, seven-month-old Sam's
father Fahed is seen just after his son was shot. Fahed is holding baby Sam in his arms,
trying to stop the bleeding from his head with his hands while Sam's mother, Dania,
who was also injured by the gunfire while holding her son is seen sitting on the ground
next to the car. Last Friday, 5th of June, an Israeli soldier
fired at a Palestinian family driving home from a family visit as they sat in the car
in the tel remade the neighborhood in hebron the family was shot as the car
was slowing to a stop at the soldier's command
sam a seven-month-old baby was in his mother's arms in the backseat was
struck in the head and pronounced that shortly afterwards
sam's parents were also injured by the gunfire his mother is still in the
hospital
after the shooting the soldier who fired and another soldier who was with him
left the scene without checking the car or offering any assistance to the
critically wounded baby
or to his mother
in the past two-and-a-half years israel has killed tens of thousands
children in gaza in the west bank
for the record you can actually make a comparison here to the american military
uh... in the american police force sorry
which also behaves as an occupational force sometimes as a matter of fact
trained directly by the idea
in black and brown neighborhoods
and yes one of the american police have done similar things
uh... there have been
unbelievable amounts of process the entire point of fucking black lives matter
was this
right
so before people get mad at ryan and say all americans don't give a shit about
this
it's not true
this has happened
and ryan is right there have been literally fucking riots
so just remember that
By the way, the New York Times is doing some fact, yeah, that's actually also interesting as well.
What visual evidence tells us about Israel's use of white phosphorus in Lebanon?
Yeah, Israel is not having a good time in American press.
I mean, you have quite literally the paper of record, one of the most pro-Israel newspapers in the United States of America
that has offered unlimited amounts of coverage to Israeli war crimes and by coverage, I mean, not just like direct coverage, but, uh, but ass-covering,
is now finally
reporting on some of the things
that Israel has been doing. I noticed this change in pattern,
if you recall,
in the post Nicholas Kristoff article. Nicholas Kristoff wrote the article about Israeli
occupying soldiers and the settlers, raping Palestinians. That was obviously a major moment
from the New York Times. I mean, it was like three years too late. I mean, you could even say it was
75 years too late if we're being honest. I mean, this has been an ongoing thing. And yet they did
that. Israel then threatened to sue the New York Times. That kind of didn't go anywhere. And the
and the new york times now since that
change in attitude has actually offered some critical coverage on israeli
war crimes these are war crimes that have been ongoing mind you this is not
new
the utilization of white phosphorus
in lebanon or in gaza is not a new phenomena
israel has been deploying white phosphorus which is made in the united
states by the way just so you understand this is
made in one place i think it's in arkansas all right
it's it's made in arkansas facility for the record
shipped to israel to use against civilian population and burn them
yawn
cool man
you're the you're the fucking man dude
you're my goat
all by jury finds carmel anthony guilty of murder
uh...
Yeah, we'll get to that story. I assume that's like the biggest story on the right currently, even though we're, you know, literally waging a war at this moment. I'll obviously cover that as well.
Um,
But yeah, as I was saying,
Of course, this is the first time New York Times investigation allows them to plainly say it is indeed white phosphorus and it is indeed a war crime. Yeah.
That, that quadruple article above the fall from the New York Times Day was a unique day.
It should not be in a just society, in a moral society, in a society that actually honors
the truth, cares about accuracy and reporting.
That would have been every single day since October 7.
And perhaps even prior to October 7, right?
With regular frequency, because Israel's violence is not new.
been ongoing, it's been unimpeded. Now it's interesting that Daenerent times
actually did that coverage. They talked about how the threat of espionage from
the Israeli side had increased. They talked about the seven-month-old
Israel shot in Hebron and they talked about the Lebanese people that were
slaughtered by the Israeli military in Lebanon that was unique and that was
unexpected JD Vance also did a one-on-one last night with Jesse Waters and set
some interesting shit let's take a look at you about before moving on from the
story Israel spying on the United States and freelancing in Lebanon well look I
I think obviously the Israelis and I, excuse me, the Israelis in the United States, we
have a lot of shared interest, but we also have some situations where our interest diverged.
And I think where the President has been very clear here is that while Israel obviously
has some objectives that it has, the United States' main objective in Iran is to ensure
that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon.
And we've actually, thanks to what's happened over the last few months, but really over
the last year and a half, we've created the space necessary where the President believes
And I think that he's right that we can get the long-term settlement to Iran's nuclear deal now Israel may like that
They may not like that but fundamentally we think this is in the best interest of the United States of America
So we're gonna keep on pursuing it because that's what the president United States was elected to do
That's what we have to do in order to properly serve the American people
You think the Iranians are trying to play us at the negotiating table
Well, I think Jesse everybody's always trying to play everybody I think the president's attitude on this is
is we have to verify, of course, one of the most important things to whether this ultimate
settlement is a success, is not what the Iranians write on the paper, but whether they actually
comply with some of the requirements of the settlement that we come up to.
I think it's very important, and this is one of the big differences.
You always hear people talk about the Obama deal and what went wrong with it.
The number one thing that went wrong with the Obama deal, Jesse, is that there was
not a proper inspections regime to ensure that the Iranians-
Yeah, the number one thing, the number one problem with the Obama deal was that it was actually successful and
Israel won't allow it. So we had to break it, which Trump bravely did. Thank God for Trump.
You know, that's that's it. That was the the biggest problem with the Obama deal was that it was actually successful straight up.
That's it. Everything else is a lie. Everything else that JD Vance is saying here is a, is
a complete and utter lie. Okay.
Could never build a nuclear weapon. And that's one of the big differences between what happened
then and what the president of the United States would get to. Assuming we're ultimately
able to make a deal. So I don't assume that ever anybody's acting in good faith. Obviously
we've been very involved in these negotiations, Jesse. We're going to take the attitude of
accomplish the president's mission, but verify over the long term that the Iranians are keeping
there into the bargain. It's a tall order, but it's one that the president has put us
in a good position to achieve. Because let's be honest, Jesse, the Iranians don't want
this war to continue. It's not in their best interest. And I think they're coming to the
table, putting some real things on the table, or of course going to verify it. But if we
get to this deal it's going to be a home run one for you. Yeah totally man you're killing it thank
you. Oh by the way CBS News boss Barry Weiss poised to oversee CNN editorial operations report.
I don't even know what to say about this I mean this has been a deal that is imminent for quite a
while. It's part of the reason why you hear from the likes of Brian Stelter who are constantly
actively glazing Barry Weiss. Chris Saliza is another one who's trying to get a job back at CNN,
also doing the same thing. So yeah, ZBS and ZNN, the least trusted name in news.
Democracy dies in the darkness. And yeah,
This kind of obvious media consolidation is going to lead to worse reporting overall, obviously.
And it's genuinely devastating for truth and accuracy in reporting.
It's not like CNN was already critical of Israel. They certainly weren't.
And neither was CBS, if we're being honest. I mean, a lot of mainstream outlets were not.
or not. Having said that however, having said that however, expect way worse coverage out
of these guys somehow. The planet's most fanatical Israel loyalists now own and control, or are
about to, Paramount, CBS, Tiktok, Warner Bros., CNN, all acquired in the last two years
by Netanyahu's close friend Larry Ellison, right as public support for Israel in the
Israel and the U.S. and the West collapses.
They are going to do one of the most annoying, one of the most flagrant, one of the most
egregious influence peddling operations that they've tried to do, okay?
I have no idea if it will be successful.
I don't think it will be, but be on the lookout for even more de-platforming initiatives,
more censorship initiatives because clearly clearly the the influence peddling from CBS
and CNN is not going to cut it. People already fucking despise Israel for good reason because
Israel has done despicable things right. So when they realize quickly that they can't actually
soft-pedal Israeli bullshit anymore, they will move to also censor those in opposition to Israel.
The question for us is will we let it happen, okay? It wasn't enough that the major media had
whitewashed Israel's crimes for the last three years and continue to do so. They want the most
aggressive posture. Yes, I know. Scott Pelley's interesting interview was very interesting.
I listened to it. I didn't have time to cover it, but there were some key moments in this
interview that were incredible. Key moments in this interview with the New York Times
that openly revealed the other depravity that we suspected taking place behind closed doors.
Here's one moment from it.
Barry Weiss sends an email to my boss, Tony Simon.
Two of the things in the email include,
can we make the protesters look more violent?
Now, I'm paraphrasing. I don't have the quote, but that's what was communicated to me.
And the other thing was Renee Good's car. You need to describe her as
Driving toward the officer
This is not
This is not news, right? Like I mean this is just straight up
Like the news always does propaganda. We know this already, but this is like beyond the fucking pale. This is a deliberate
interception
By a person who was brought into this position of power that they did not actually work for
Ironically enough they they are there specifically to be like you have to lie
Because this makes our president look bad you have to lie because it makes the MAGA movement look bad
You have to lie at the behest of Donald Trump
Donald Trump's ice agents Donald Trump's Gestapo
It's insane
And we knew this was happening because they were doing it at CBS if you recall
Remember at the time of of the assassination of Renee good CBS
aggressively was like leaning into the notion that that the the
Ice Gestapo agent the shower Renee good was actually not at fault and that he was actually harmed if you remember
They they were the only ones that came out with a report that said that the ice agent actually was harmed
Now, we were fortunate enough to have actual footage, almost 360 footage, from numerous
angles that very quickly destroyed that narrative, but that didn't stop a lot of the dickwriters
of this administration, like Azman Gold, from actively lying and going along with this
bullshit.
the lookout for more of that. Dude, this old dude was a company man who thought he was too good
to be fired. This interview pissed me off, man. Dude, come on, dude. Come on. That's one way of
looking at it. Another way of looking at it is that this motherfucker spent, you know, decades at
an institution. Okay, regardless of my disagreements with 60 minutes as an enterprise,
You have to at least understand that this is a guy who is the highest ranking journalist in the room
Who actually got fired for speaking out against Barry Weiss's fuckery?
He could have just not spoken out he could have continued being the company man and he demonstrated integrity
Whether that was integrity because he wanted to to maintain the brand of 60 minutes or not doesn't matter
What matters is he said the truth in that moment
He said the truth in that moment, and then he also went along and revealed the truth to the New York Times
Part of the reason why this is happening is because everybody fucking hates Barry Weiss, okay? Let's be real. I know a lot of journalists. I
Know a lot of journalists some of them can get very petty
They all despise Barry Weiss the reason why they despise Barry Weiss isn't just because Barry Weiss is a charlatan and
Barry Weiss is a brown-noser of billionaires. It's also because Barry Weiss doesn't deserve the position that she's in and
This enmity will only continue to grow. It's not just going to be about Barry Weiss
It'll be about dick writers of Barry Weiss like Brian Stelter or
Careerists that will glaze Barry Weiss regardless of what she's doing regardless of how she destroys media properties at the behest of billionaires
Okay, yeah, I'm not gonna do the dick suck mountains story again, but that's basically what it is
There's dick mountain and and if you just if you don't suck dicks
Appropriately, you know suck in the right dick at the right level and you just helicopter yourself to the top of dick suck
Mountain you suck the top dick then all of a sudden you've advanced their dick suck mountain without sucking the necessary amount of dicks
Brian Stelter again
Worth noting amid all the contra all the coverage of scott pelly scathing criticism today according to a person with knowledge of the matter
Barry wise and nick builton sought out pelly for a private meeting last week
But the longtime correspondent did not take them up on the offer to talk brian stelter is the guy i'm talking about who is
What's wrong with sucking digs there's nothing wrong with sucking cox man
It's great. It's fantastic. That's not the point
Look, we all have to eat and envy anyone who works in Santa right now, but this is so undignified.
Be like Scott Pelley and don't be like this.
Yeah, Brian Stelter is also on Dick's Suck Mountain currently.
Two handing it, okay?
This is not what you see on the video.
On the video, you see the officer standing slightly off the front of the car, and you
clearly see Ms. Good's wheels turned completely as far as they will go, away from the officer.
But he shoots her in the head, kills her, and says something about her in that moment
that I can't repeat in polite company. So, we have gone out of our way in our
Yeah, dude, Pelle. Scott Pelle was a CBS with 37 years, dude, almost four fucking decades.
Okay, it's ridiculous. You come in out of nowhere because, again, you are a stooge of billionaires.
Okay? You are a stooge of billionaires.
And you fire half of the staff.
This is your life's work. These are the people that you've sometimes been in combat zones with. Okay?
Like this isn't just you know, you're doing journalism you believe in your mission
It doesn't matter if like at times, you know, they're doing State Department propaganda. Ultimately, you're just trying to make ends meet
You're trying to make it work. Okay
There's investigative pieces that are important that have come out of your your, you know your operation all the stuff and
Then an outsider comes in because they are a servant of billionaires
And at the behest of billionaires and outside it comes in and just fires half the staff
I don't know where you're like what the fuck and then you speak out and they fire you for speaking out
The media already is controlled by corporate investment and corporate interests, but this is beyond that
The direction of the media could be bad
And then this could be worse. That's what's going on here. The direction of the media was already bad
Right, but now this new direction is even more hands-on is even more egregious is even more in your face with its propaganda
Plan from the very beginning
To show the protesters for the responsibility that they had
We had already scrubbed the video archives looking for those scenes
But it somehow wasn't enough for miss wise
The he has no problem with Barry wise he's mad that she didn't do propaganda the right way
Okay, guys, I get it. You fucking hate major media, but you're out of your mind, dude
Come on, dude. He's literally saying like they wanted us to literally
not report on what we can see with our own two eyes. Okay? I get it, dude. Yes, I
despise 60 Minutes' coverage, especially as it pertains to Israel as well.
You have to also remember the reason why this happened, straight up. The reason
why this happened is because one time, I mean literally, one time CBS News and
and 60 minutes covered America's weapons being used in the genocide of Palestinians one time.
And that was enough for the rest of the family to be like,
we're selling this property. This is crazy. I can't believe it. One time,
the first time they engaged in a little bit of critical reporting.
So what do you want me to do? Sit here and act like that's not significant? It is significant.
video showed that the officer wasn't standing in front of the car and she wasn't driving
toward him but that's what the president said about that and that's the way she wanted
it described.
Anyway, um, let's continue.
We'll talk about the, I already covered the Somali referee.
We're gonna skip that.
We're gonna dive a little bit deeper into all of this with France 24.
We're gonna skip the restrictions and the World Cup teaser.
It's the day before the 22nd.
Alright, we'll do one on Inventino.
22 World Cup in Qatar.
And FIFA's president Gianni Inventino has something he wants to say.
Today I feel gay.
Today I feel disabled.
He keeps going.
Today I feel a migrant worker.
And going.
At school I was bullied because I had red hair.
For nearly an hour.
Plus I was Italian, so imagine.
The media called it a bizarre tirade, an unhinged speech, and a PR-owned goal that will be hard to beat.
It's the most famous of many PR-owned goals that Infantino has made in his 10 years as a FIFA president.
He once also said the World Cup can solve Europe's migrant crisis.
To give hope to Africans so that they don't need to cross the Mediterranean in order to find maybe better life,
but more probably death in the sea.
And he claimed the Rwandan genocide inspired his career.
And how this country came back up is inspiring.
So I certainly couldn't give up.
I continue to campaign.
I was elected FIFA president.
But what might seem like blunders are actually, in a strange way,
part of Infantino's strategy.
A strategy that has made him one of the most powerful leaders in FIFA's history.
And to pull off this 2026 World Cup,
he's had to crank a strategy up to 11.
The ILC opened an investigation into wearing that hat.
Infantino has defended awarding its inaugural Peace Prize to Donald Trump.
Infantino has taken every step imaginable and unimaginable to please and appease Donald Trump.
He is quite good at getting his way, quite a good political machinator,
always talking out different sides of his mouth depending who he's speaking to, he's very skilled at that.
So how did Gianni Infantino become the most powerful man in football?
And how has he made this world come, unlike any other?
The world's most popular sport has been plunged into turmoil.
Gianni Infantino's rise to the top began in 2015, right as FIFA hit rock bottom.
Several officials from FIFA were arrested the day.
FIFA officials were charged with racketeering, bribery, wire fraud, and money laundering.
It's president designed and disgraced.
Guys, good thing that FIFA stopped being corrupt after that.
Famously that happened and then FIFA was like never again.
We will never repeat this kind of, this level of unprecedented corruption.
It turns out it was the most precedented corruption.
But, you know, that's where the story ends, actually.
That's where the story ends.
It's just like they get caught and then famously it's over.
People also lost $360 million after sponsors fled.
To many football fans and journalists, it was a long time coming.
If you were to say what do you know FIFA for, it was a byword for corruption.
and Krafton writes for the athletic.
Now, I'm sure there's not been any of that stuff
on the web, but he was one of the beneficiaries.
In 2016, FIFA's 209 member associations
convened to elect a new president.
But they didn't choose one of the prominent candidates,
like the head of the Asian Confederation,
or former FIFA vice president.
Instead, they chose the more obscure one.
He was a bit of a technocrat kind of figure.
Most football fans would have known him
is the slightly kind of bumbling guy who would be on the stage when they would do the draw
for the UEFA Champions League.
Now you look all the way there to Georgia, you can have a chat, because I'm going to
shuffle this a little bit so that they're sure that you can see it.
But it was a smart choice because it let FIFA put on a fresh face.
Valentino promoted reforms, like limiting FIFA's presidency to three terms and disclosing
executive pay. And he skipped FIFA's private jet for a budget airline on his first trip.
We have shown that we are listening to the fans, to the players, to football. We are listening to
football. Infantino was able to lure sponsors back. And at the next World Cup in Russia,
FIFA made $4.6 billion, a record amount. Infantino used that money to buy loyalty within FIFA.
He gave an extra $5 million to each member association who governed football on the national level.
The extra money was appreciated by the wealthy members in Europe and North America,
but it made a huge difference for the less wealthy members, largely in Africa and Asia.
Cape Verde renovated this field.
Bhutan held more youth programs, and many countries invested more in women's football,
something Infantino put extra emphasis on.
These members became Infantino's base of support and in 2019 they helped elect him to a second term.
At the next World Cup in Qatar, FIFA made more money and re-elected Infantino again. Meanwhile,
Infantino- Guys, I will look into what's going on in fucking Belfast. Can you please stop spamming?
Holy shit, dude. I don't know what you want me to do.
God damn!
FIFO expanded FIFA's tournaments.
He led the effort to expand the women's world cup from 24 teams to 32.
Then a tournament for professional clubs from 7 clubs to 32.
And finally the men's world cup from 32 teams to 48, beginning in 2026.
More teams met more games that FIFA could sell tickets and TV rights to.
It was also another way for Infantino to buy support, because Mortines also meant more
members could make money from the tournament and have him to thank for it.
They have a one-member one-vote system, so the more nations who believe they have access
to tournaments that are going to bring them revenue, the outcome is that that is better
for Giardino and Fantino when the next election cycle comes along.
But once Infantino bought enough loyalty within FIFA, he began rolling back those reforms.
He ousted FIFA's ethics officials, secured backing to extend his presidency past the three-term
limit, and rebuilt the system that enabled FIFA's past corruption.
Infantino also started to make major decisions seemingly on his own, like expanding that club
world cup.
There was no real explanation of where that came from, who was asking for this, why it
happened the way it has. How the money was allocated. FIFA has become a very
centralized decision-making process. Infantino is making money hand over fist
for FIFA, but he was no longer acting like its humble servant. He was acting
like its king. Quickly I want to thank the sponsor of this week's episode and

Infantino was in president when FIFA awarded World Cups to Russia and Qatar.
But he seemed to love working closely with their leaders.
In the lead-up to 2018, he made appearances with dictator Vlade.
We get it everyone, yes it was an AI ad.
Okay can you please fucking calm down.
Oh my god.
Lock in motherfucker, lock in.
Vladimir Putin, where they laughed, kicked a ball around and said nice things to each other.
Russia is absolutely ready to celebrate a summer of festivities here in this beautiful country.
Infantino caught a lot of criticism for this, but to be fair, working with the
host government is a necessary part of his job.
You have to have a relationship with the host government. Well, whichever country you're in,
there's certain things you need, so of course they should be engaging. I think the question is
is whether it's been an overindulgence and frankly over the top.
It started feeling over the top in the lead up to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
As early as 2017, human rights groups reported that Qatar was abusing migrant workers building
at stadiums and journalists wrote of workers dying crashing out of AI as a valuable dog.
I'm not the one who's selling it to you.
Okay.
Shut the fuck up.
Oh my God.
So goddamn insufferable
We're watching this dude's video. That's why I'm watching the fucking ad. Okay, that's it. Oh my god heat stress
But infantino stuck very close to the Qatari monarchy. He used one of their private jets moved to Qatar's capital Doha
And on the eve of the tournament, he gave an extraordinary speech today. I feel
Qatari today, I feel
Arab
today, I feel
African. Today I feel a...
Gay.
A migrant worker.
I'm not really a migrant worker.
But I feel like them, because I know what it means to be discriminated.
Infantino was shifting the blame from Qatar to its critics.
You know what it is? This is racism.
This is pure racism.
Many in the West found Infantino's speech absurd,
but it wasn't really meant for them.
It played well with his audiences in the Middle East and potentially the global south as well.
I think there's a lot of parts of the world who don't really like the Europeans and Americans
lecturing them about human rights abuses, about who's in the right and who's in the wrong.
Inventino was demonstrating to his base that he would do anything to back them.
And over the next few years, Inventino cultivated relationships with other world leaders,
especially in Africa and Asia. He formed a close alliance with Saudi Arabia's monarchy.
There is a double standard here, which I really don't understand.
And defended Putin after Russia.
Here's how it goes, buddy. Okay. For those of you who don't understand what's going on,
as the, as the wealth disparity grows around the world, and the power gap continues to increase,
There will always be loyal servants. There will always be loyal servants like Barry Weiss and
Infantino that will serve the the interests of power. Yeah, this world cup will have empty seats
two. Yeah. FIFA faces empty ceases 180,000 World Cup tickets hit the resale market.
Also, yes, Sencom officially announces that there are retaliatory strikes on Iran. I know
this full scale invasion of Ukraine. I hope that we can bring back as well Russia in the football
landscape because this would mean that everything is solved.
These relationships helped Infantino secure support
and helped FIFA raise more money but they didn't do anything to help Infantino or FIFA's reputation.
He provokes very very strong feelings from a lot of football fans and not always good ones.
Now Infantino's grand strategy is culminating at the 2026 World Cup.
Of course, it's the biggest ever, spanning the U.S., Mexico and Canada, and including
48 teams.
A few countries for the first time.
And it's no surprise it'll likely make FIFA more money than ever.
Possibly $11 billion.
And as usual, Infantino is going above and beyond to back the hosts, particularly this
one.
began booing Trump during Trump's first term.
And as soon as Trump won his second term, Infantino was all over.
He showed up at Mar-a-Laga, at the inauguration, chuckling in the back row.
Infantino also met Trump in Saudi Arabia in Qatar, and by my count has visited the White
House at least five times in the last year.
Infantino is even going to things that have nothing to do with sports, like a summit about
peace in the Middle East.
And Trump's so-called board of peace.
Where he donned a Trump hat.
Most infamously, Infantino made up a new award just for Trump, the FIFA Peace Prize.
Something Adam says was news to the rest of FIFA.
It really does appear to have been one man deciding to do that.
On the one hand, who cares about his prize?
The other side is, that is arguably one of the things now that FIFA is most likely to
known for, reputationally, in the United States.
And that's the first problem Infantino is running into.
The more he appears with Trump, the more Trump becomes the headline.
When Infantino tried to announce a visa program for the World Cup ticket holders, Trump changed
the subject.
threatened to relocate World Cup games and cities run by his opponents.
If we think there's going to be a sign of any trouble, I would ask Johnny to move that
to a different city.
Yeah, I think safety and security is the number one priority.
And at another football event, Trump brought up transgender athletes.
Men playing in women's sports.
Could a woman make you a team, fellas?
Tell me, you think?
For Marcus, that's with someone who covers...
He is such a dick eater, bro.
It's really, like every day there is something to write about, but there's also like times
when Infantino's in the Oval Office and kind of you're squirming for him.
And the second problem is that it's not really clear that-
Yeah, this was some nasty business too.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino was rebuffed when he tried to get the leaders from Israel
and Palsines Football Association to shake hands.
Well, Steve, in Fentanyl, you're out of your fucking mind for this, by the way.
What an animal he is.
This pandering has one Trump over.
Trump called infantino a piece of work for refusing to kick a run out of the tournament.
And as bro, I'm gonna be honest, I don't think we've ever lived in a world
where like this level of dick eating was rewarded.
Disagregiously, this aggressively.
Like this is straight-up fealty to the kingshit
There was
Back in the day, there was at least like the presence of meritocracy, the meritocratic approach, there was like some semblance of process, civility, it's gone. It's gone by the wayside because the new overlords demand maximum loyalty, maximum fealty.
They actually revel in your geniflection, right?
And there are seemingly plenty of people who will actually give that to them, and they
get rewarded for it over and over again.
The April Trumps yet to agree to halt ICE raids in host cities.
Now city governments are opting out of FIFA events, and picking fights about costs.
Infantino turned to politics to supersize the FIFA World Cup.
But now it's politics that many say is bringing the World Cup down.
I think it is going to be a story across the country.
And particularly if Infantino keeps going out publicly,
I'd say we're going to make 11 billion dollars.
But here's the thing.
At every World Cup I can remember, scandals dominate the headlines until the first game starts.
Then by the finale, Everons forgotten, and FIFA moves on to the next one.
Johnny Fantino knows that better than anyone.
those fans who come to the stadium they just want to spend 90 minutes without
having to think about anything else and he can probably count on it happening
again the next men's World Cup in 2030 will be hosted by six countries across
three continents the 2031 women's World Cup will be in four countries and
include 48 teams for the first time Infantino also bent the rules to award
But Bro's gonna do a World Cup next? That's everywhere all at once.
2034 World Cup to one of his staunchest allies, Saudi Arabia.
And he intends to see these terms through.
He recently announced he's running for a fourth term as president.
At the moment, there's no competitor for it, but if someone wants to come forward,
he needs those federations to realize he's made them as much money as possible.
Infantino was elected to rebuild FIFA from ruin.
He made it bigger and richer than ever, but whether he's improved FIFA's reputation is another story.
All right, thanks for watching another episode of search.
SMP is a classic Johnny Harris style channel. He whitewashed the ethnic cleansing against
3 million Indian immigrants that took place in Myanmar by bringing the English dude who
oversaw the whole process on the show and letting him talk for 20 minutes with no pushback.
Damn, I did not know that.
Yes, U.S. launches new attacks on Iran in response to downing of helicopters.
Sankam says U.S. Central Command forces began launching self-defense strikes against Iran.
Dude, isn't that funny?
We're doing self-defense by striking Iran because we struck Iran first,
First, which led to this now 100 plus day quagmire.
It's great.
Obviously the only thing you can do
in a self-defense style situation is more self-defense.
None of these words have meaning anymore.
What the fuck is self-defense dude? How can you engage in an active self-defense against a country that did nothing to you that's thousands of miles away?
Bonser Berry says, the response is certainly not proportional, there are reports of explosions
in several coastal cities in the south, there will almost certainly be missiles and drones
fire towards the Gulf shortly.
Trump to ABC, I was on the phone with Trump,
I sent a comment out to US Retail to Restricts Against Iran,
here's what he said.
I think it's very important to respond.
They shot down a helicopter and we're responding as we speak.
He added, this is a response to what they did with our helicopter
last night.
And I believe that response should be very strong, very powerful.
And that's what this one is.
The one thing I will give Trump credit for is that Iran showed the same national
pride and might that he shows.
And he was like, damn, welfare is fair, I guess.
None of this makes sense.
Like how the fuck did an American helicopter get shot by a God named drone?
And how is this the response to it? It's just like doesn't
make any sense.
It's called preventative self defense son. Yeah, preemptive,
you mean?
Yeah, Israel and America always constantly find themselves in
the preemptive self defense situation.
And not crazy.
They never want to do it. They just always have to do the
first preemptive first strike.
I mean, do we even need a false flag?
I don't think we need a false flag, Chatter.
I know that much as Epstein was trying to play Gates, just like he did, Wexner.
House of Versailles committee to interview Bill Gates.
House oversight committee to interview Bill Gates.
Anyway, if the U.S. being honest, this is exactly what they're doing.
The same people defending the admin will still defend the admin.
Yeah. Yeah, I don't think they need to do like, I mean, maybe I'm crazy,
but I just don't think that this administration gives a fuck about like public approval any longer,
Which means that there's not really any need for a false flag incident.
What the fuck?
This link is a failure.
Yeah, we're tying Iran. Do we have Al Jazeera link?
Chatters, y'all got that Al Jazeera? You lost your reward.
Is there actually, you know, any outlet currently covering the Iranian retaliation?
Oh my God.
Yes, Chatters, I had the disable ad blocker and those websites pump ads.
Okay.
I know to your sensitive, um, auditory issue having autistic ears.
This was a major, major problem.
Please get over it.
I think that's a good point.
In 72 Nixon's blue ribbon
Commission said. That's not
right. It doesn't belong there.
We should move it. So this is
not a new discussion. What
happened was under the prior
administration. Did okay. They're
not covering it yet. It just
happened.
is chat today? No, I love my chat, but sometimes y'all can be a little annoying, you know?
I love my chat. That's why I come in here every damn day and do news coverage every damn day.
Explosions heard in Qashem and Siddiq south of Iran. They are near the
straight per Al Jazeera. Nice. Classic. Classic.
Do don't worry Trump informed the president beforehand. President Trump
We'll go to the phone with oh, thank God. I
Was a little worried because obviously Congress doesn't have the power to authorize war
But
There is one party that has to get the authorization
Preclearance and that's Benjamin Danielle the real president. Thank God. I was a little worried that he was anti-semitically attacking Iran without asking
The real president the leader the real leadership
Now we know daddy gave us the permission. Thank God.
Anti-immigrant programs currently taking place after Sudanese man-charge.
We're trying to stab him, but had someone in public video of it has circulated like wildfire getting people agitated and personalizing the attack.
personalizing the attack and now mobs have mobilized and are actively going
door-to-door burning homes and doing checkpoints checking cars to see if
you're white or not. Unsurprisingly it's loyalist doing it yes I've heard that
Belfast is under Belfast is in a state of bedlam a state of chaos. There's also
the Carmelo Anthony story the black teenager at the at the high school
meet. Now, um, stab the white genius of death. Um, the court has ruled him guilty of murder
from what I understand. Um, Carmelo Anthony found guilty of murder over the Texas track
me stabbing. A teen has been found guilty of murder over the fatal stabbing of another
teen at a high school track meet last year. Carmelo Anthony 19 was indicted on first degree
murder in the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a track meet in Frisco, Texas
in April 2025.
Prosecutors called the stabbing senseless and plain and simple murder, while the defense
argued that Anthony acted in self-defense.
The murder charge carries a sentence of up to life in prison.
Ahead of closing arguments on Tuesday, the judge decided that jurors could also consider
manslaughter, which carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, according to ABC
in the court room for the trial.
The jury began deliberating midday Tuesday before reaching a verdict in three hours according to a court spokesperson.
Anthony could be seen crying when he returned to the court for his sentencing,
which will be determined by the jurors the station reported.
Anthony's mother was the only person to take the stand during the punishment phase,
asking the jurors to show him mercy as he is sorry for what he did.
The judge said that Anthony waived his right to testify during the punishment phase according to the station.
according to the station. The deadly stabbing occurred at Frisco Independent
School District Stadium on April 2nd, 2025 during a track and field competition
involving multiple schools in the district. Police said Metcalfe, an 11th
grader in Frisco Memorial High School, was stabbed during multiplication under
a school's tent in the stadium bleachers. Witnesses said the two got into an
argument over Anthony, a then 17-year-old student at Frisco Centennial High
School, being under Metcalfe's school tent during the rainy track meet. Jurors
heard testimony over four days, Anthony did not take the stand in his own defense. Judge
John Roche imposed a gag order in the case restricting what those involved can say and
barred any electronics from the courtroom during the trial due to the attention the cases garnered.
Collin County, uh, Collin Country First Assistant District Attorney Bill Ruski, Weir Sky, told
jurors that the stabbing was not self-defense but unjustified murder. In his closing argument
on Tuesday, Weir Sky claimed that Anthony provoked Metcalf, questioning why the defendant
didn't walk away, and then called the stabbing disproportionate. You don't get to meet a shove
with a stab, especially if you provoke a shove, where Sky told jurors, according to WFAA.
Defense attorney Mike Howard told jurors that Anthony had gone to the memorial tent to get out
of the rain when Metcalf confronted him and told him to leave. Howard said Anthony acted in fear
and chaos after Metcalf pushed him and stabbed the other teen in self-defense. During his closing
closing argument on Tuesday, Howard said Metcalfe had no legal right to use force on Anthony.
In response to the contentions that Anthony could have just left, the defense attorney
said, I'm sure he wishes he did.
Multiple students who were at the track meet last that day testified that they saw Metcalfe
push Anthony, who was seated on the bleachers with some describing it as a two-handed push
like a lineman move, while others said it was a one-handed small shove.
One witness testified that Anthony was asked to leave the tent about 15 times corned WFAA.
called Anthony saying, touch me and see what happens during the altercation. Which witnesses
said lasted about four to six minutes. Another witness quoted Metcalf as telling Anthony,
I'm not going to fight you. Surveillance footage from the track meet played in court and did
not show the stabbing, and some of the witnesses were asked to demonstrate the incident. After
the stabbing, witnesses said Anthony jogged away from the tent, and a coach who spoke
to him on the track testified that he said, he put his hands on me, I stabbed him. A pocket
knife used in the stabbing was found on the bleachers police said calling county
medical examiner doctor Elizabeth Wynne Ventura testified that Metcalfe was
stabbed on the left side of his chest and the knife perforated his right
ventricle according to WFAA
several people spoke during the trial of efforts to save Metcalfe football
coach who was helping the track meet testified that he put pressure on the
stab wound and memorials athletic trainer said she did CPR until paramedics
arrived everybody was praying memorial high school head track coach robert
star said an emotional testimony I just knew Austin was gone met cap was
transported to an area hospital where he's ultimately pronounced dead first
guys the reached reacted the verdict saying in a statement we respect the
judicial process and will continue to support our students with compassion and
care we know this trial has brought strong emotions of deep grief and we
ask our community to continue supporting each other with respect, sensitivity, and understanding.
Yeah, I mean, it's pretty, it's pretty wild to hit it with a straight up murder,
rather than manslaughter, which again still carries an immensely high penalty. But I mean,
I mean, it's the standard, like the escalation still came from the party that was defending itself in the circumstance, and you can't, you know, lethally defend yourself with a knife, according to this court proceeding.
It's an incredibly sad situation, but first degree would imply, I don't know how it works in this state.
I don't know if this means like premeditation, which is ridiculous.
And I guess all white jury, Texas is the state, that's part of the reason.
Am I missing something?
Because it sounds like they got into a high school fight and he stabbed the dude, kill
him.
Why would this become such a big case?
Part of the reason why I became a big case and received a lot of national attention is
because people were like, initially, Carmella Anthony's test of, Carmella Anthony told
people on the scene
uh... immediately that he was acting in self-defense
and there was at least some evidence as you've seen from eyewitness testimony
first-hand accounts that were there
that there was at least like uh... an instigation coming from the victim
but it doesn't matter at the end of the day
just because somebody pushed you shoved you or or was behaving this way
it doesn't mean that you can like take out a gun and shoot them or take out
your knife and stab them in the chest and kill them
uh... so there was obviously a crime that took place
uh... but
i think that uh... the the consideration here is the severity of the penalties
but the reason why it turned into a big issues because immediately every
every like right wing
uh... white nationalist count was like all we have to kill carmel anthony
immediately
uh... this was a racialized
hate crimes racialized anti white hate crime
and white people
uh... it when their victims still get punished by law all the stuff
the posture
uh... they they they lead in this case to create this uh... false dynamic is
though that what we'll get
uh... what we'll get punished uh...
uh... unjustifiably
and in the eyes of both the media
and also
uh... in the end uh... in a court of law
which obviously is not
and there's no evidence to bear that out
i believe the defendants and touch me and see what happens was solidified the
first-degree charge first-degree doesn't always mean long and well thought-out.
What about stand-your-ground laws? Is that not a defense? I don't think I mean
that's situational and also usually stand-your-ground as if you're white and
standing your ground. And standing your ground only works against black people, more often
than not, black and brown people. There are rare instances where standing your ground
will protect a black person, rarely, but it happens. But having said that, I don't, I,
dude, I understand why this would not be considered a situation where standing your ground would
apply. I mean, it's a severe escalation, especially considering that this wasn't in the process
of like a brutal beatdown or something. And he just like had a knife in his pocket and
he pulled it out. Like there was, there were numerous outs for de-escalation in this back
and forth, it seems, or at least that's what the, that's what the prosecutor showed. And
And that's the reason why the case ended up being the way it is.
Yeah, use it to track me.
Yeah, it's an unbelievably tragic situation.
I mean, I feel terrible.
I mean, this is, this is
Hasan, I love you, but your legal takes are dog shit. Please stay out of this stuff. You're right. I should never talk about
I should leave asmongold to do the coverage
He should be the only responsible party that does coverage on this platform. Certainly. He has a far better
grasp over
You know this kind of stuff
Or maybe you just don't agree with me and that's why you're pissed off.
First degree in Texas doesn't have a premeditation clause, it only requires knowing and willing
conduct.
the
the
Like, if the eye witnesses, because this happened in front of a lot of people, okay, if all
of the other testimony from the individuals that were on scene showed that Carmella Anthony's
life was in imminent danger, then I don't think that, I don't think it would go the
way that you think it would.
Like it's not like there was it's not like he was getting like pummeled or he was like
You know getting punched or brutalized and in that moment
He'd like in a in a panic moment in an effort to defend himself
He pulled out his knife from his pocket or something and then stabbed them
Even then they would probably try to fucking throw the book at him because he's black teenager killing a white teenager
but but it would be a much more defensible situation I think whereas
If there were numerous outs in that circumstance, it's unjustifiable regardless
like Austin Metcalf obviously shouldn't be going up to this guy and be like get the fuck out of my tent and what not
But like obviously he doesn't deserve to be killed. It's fucking insane. That's an insane thing. I'm not gonna stand by that
I'm not I'm never gonna if you were expecting me to say some shit like that. You're out of your mind. I'm sorry
Okay
What is this? So in Texas, it's only capital murder, death or life sentence, no parole mandatory and murder, five to 99 years max. There's no first and second degree, but there is manslaughter in another state. This will probably be second degree, but that doesn't exist in Texas.
Yeah. Like, um,
His defense could not establish that he was under imminent threat, imminent threat to his safety, and that it was obviously seen as a severe escalation from the party that was being bullied.
Now, unless there's like additional evidence that was hidden in the trial or something,
and they did a very good job of like hiding the evidence, I understand why he would be,
I understand why the case would go this way.
I still think it's a, I do think that, you know, there are plenty of instances of leniency,
political leniency, right, called written house and the like, many, many circumstances
in the American criminal justice system where if there was a role reversal, this would not
be as controversial, I guess.
would not they would like they would absolutely be a much more lenient
sentence if if Austin Mencap was sitting in a tent and and Carmelo Anthony
walked up to him and shoved him and then Austin Mencap pulled out a knife and
stabbed him in the heart and killed him. I think Austin Mencap will probably walk
free or at the very least would get a much lighter sentence. That is the truth.
Having said that, however, that would not be justice either, right? That would not be justice.
Like, so my argument isn't necessarily that
that there should be
leniency in both circumstances or well leniency isn't like they should be able to walk free in both circumstances. They like it's
understandable that a
egregious crime was committed, and therefore it's understandable for there to be some kind of punishment.
Would you saw it happen and the boy ran? You're wrong? What do you mean?
Yeah, maybe if he ran around the track then let him shoot him in the back then it would be justified, right? Wait, what?
What are you talking about?
Why would I say yes to that?
Run a mile, shot in the back again, man, go free.
Okay, chatter.
I understand that you're trying to say something that I already accounted for and mentioned,
which is that in a lot of other circumstances, in other circumstances, if there was a role
reversal, I suspect that the white person probably would have walked free.
I don't think that's justice.
I never said that that would be appropriate.
I've already explained that that is usually the case, which is part of the reason why
a lot of people are impassioned about this case as well.
They're not confusing cases, Chatters. They're saying that there was an instance where someone
who ran away, got shot in the back and killed, and the person who shot them walked away free.
But that's not this situation.
That's a totally separate situation.
And that is more so about the racialized elements within the criminal justice system, which
I already mentioned.
Okay?
So yes, I agree with you.
If you're asking about this particular case, in this individual, in this particular case,
they hit him with a max penalty when there could have been more leniency, certainly.
And the reason why they hit him with the max penalty is because he's a black teenager who stabbed and killed a white teenager
That's 100% my assessment having said that there should have been some penalties from the facts that were revealed about the case
I'm so sick of you son, you never talk about anything you just sit and argue with your chat is true
It's not separate if you are black. No. No. No. You're not understanding the point I'm making.
I'm saying that of course, of course being black is a relevant factor. Being black is a relevant
factor in what would have taken place if the role reversal took place. If the role reversal was that
Why teenagers have the black teenagers and killed them?
Fuck you mean?
No.
Yes, the fuck it is.
No, I'm not saying no being black makes this not a separate case.
I'm saying that systemic analysis is absolutely apt, which I offered.
Okay, I, this is going to be an instance where people are either intentionally
misunderstanding what I'm saying and, uh, and, and act as though I'm, I'm not
accounting for racialized sentencing disparity which exists in the criminal
justice system and I talk about it all the time and I just did in this
circumstance as well. I wasn't saying that what your statement is your
statement itself is not incorrect. Okay the deployment in this situation against
me as though I am at odds with what you're saying is incorrect. Chad is doing
thing where they agree with my overall analysis, but come at it as though they're in disagreement.
There is no disagreement.
And I can't tell if people just have some kind of, I mean, tensions are high.
So I guess that's probably part of the reason.
is the alt-right really saying this was a race war killing is somewhat yes
They are saying that.
Okay.
Process here, what do we expect?
Is the sentencing, the number of years up to this jury,
does the judge weigh in?
This does vary from state to state
and district to district.
It does vary, Martha.
And obviously the fact that the jury is going to be weighing
in on sentencing leads me to believe
that they're going to be able to have some type of say,
because otherwise the only focus or purpose they would have
would be as if this were a death penalty case,
which it is not.
So given the fact that the jury is around
for the sentencing phase leads me to believe
that they will have a say.
What I do think is really interesting here,
and I think that this is the reason
the case played out the way it did.
The defense attorney knew that this jury
was going to be involved in the sentencing phase.
The judge was listening to all the testimony here,
and I think this is the reason some of these facts came in.
the things that we were talking about earlier,
how he reacted after the fact.
I think some of that is trying to be mitigating.
I don't think that the defense truly believed
that there was ever a true self-defense claim here
and that this is what they had to try
on behalf of the client.
But given the facts and circumstances here,
I think putting this forth in the way
to show this level of remorse,
to show that he was upset and crying after the fact,
I think that was part of the sentencing phase of this case.
I also think the fact that Carmelo Anthony himself
did not testify was very interesting
given the defense in this case.
And that's not something that we've talked about today.
And I think that that's a very, very significant portion
of the jury making this decision on murder.
I think had he testified,
Manslaughter may have played into it a little bit more
because he would have been able to say,
I felt in fear.
I felt like they were coming at me.
It was a split decision.
and looking back at the video I don't see what it may be
I wonder why I actually do wonder why the defense didn't want them to testify
maybe it was because they had a fucking
all white jury and it was a wrap
most of us in chat never said that absolutely no punishment should be given in this case
for myself I think that they have a really low taunts for hearing the balance perspective
even if it's great because the punishment is always
it always feels like it outweighs the crime and the appropriate punishment like you're right
But please don't focus on making a balanced point. I don't think I'm right for that, but it's how I feel. Wait, what do you mean?
I thought was happening at the time and I think maybe those things may have played into a less serious
Conviction here, but the fact that he didn't testify
I don't think the jurors had any other evidence that they could hang their head on and we'll see if in the sentencing phase
We hear more about that
But I really do think that the defense played into the fact that if he was convicted these
You're applying systemic critique to the court, but not the environment of racism that Anthony lives within.
It's not fair to compare sections of a similar instance where the races are flipped, black people live in constant fear of white violence.
No, I agree. I understand that. I understand that. And the moment that there's a lethal weapon at play
that falls by the wayside in in most circumstances in every court of law.
We're certain pieces of information they needed to put out in front of this jury so maybe the
sentencing would not be you know as significant as it could be. I don't know if we can hear this
person who's speaking or if we know if this is one of the attorneys if anybody okay this is not
one of the attorneys it's a someone no that chatter is not saying that chatter is offering
justification to why Carmelo Anthony felt an immediate threat an immediate fear of his
life which is why he took lethal action I don't even think he meant to literally kill
the person like with a kill shot you know what I mean because like it I don't think he's
an expert assassin who knew exactly where his fucking heart was and like was able to one tap him in the chest
Like obviously it would require a lot more
Skill and and a lot more knowledge of how to do that, but it but at the end of the day
at the end of the day
whether he was in fear of his life or not he pulled out a knife and
And clearly all of the other witnesses, all the other witnesses around, saw it as an escalation from his side.
I don't see any reason as to, I don't even understand why the, I mean, 17 years old.
You're 17 years old, took a life, and now his life is gone, too.
It's an incredibly fucked up, incredibly fucked up, incredibly tragic situation.
Speaking outside the courthouse, Paul, let's talk a little bit about what Donna touched on here.
Carmelo Anthony did not testify in his own defense. Do you think his attorney is now second-guess that decision?
Well, in light of the fact that he's guilty of the highest charge, how could you not?
And all I can say is if the cynical ploy here was to say, leave him off the stand, take him.
Are you didn't think stabbing someone could kill them? Oh, no, absolutely. I'm saying I was just saying that like I don't think he was like an assassin
Who was like, oh, I'm gonna stab him directly in the fucking heart and
Kill him like even in a panic moment where he's like, this is the only weapon that I have. I'm I'm trying to
I'm trying to give the most favorable to
The perpetrator like the most favorable scenario to
Carmelo Anthony and even in that circumstance. It's still it's still at least manslaughter
Do you see what I mean?
Like it's impulsive there's real fear and even in that sorghum stance, it's hard to see it as as
as not manslaughter
regardless of of the imminent threat
Because the imminent threat didn't reach a physical level beyond a push two-handed shove one-handed shove doesn't matter
Part of the reason why I think he got the maximum worse sentence here is because of the racial component, though.
All-white jury, state of Texas. He doesn't testify, doesn't get cross-examined.
And they hit him with the maximum penalty because it has a national prominence.
The case became like an issue of national significance.
guilty verdict and let's hope we get some kind of a come to a judgment on this without
seeing a video or some kind of evidence I witnessed testimony there were numerous people around
of a minor victory at sentencing from this jury I think it was a mistake the way this went and in
light of the tenor of the defense witnesses who as I said earlier some of whom were reportedly
black, there's no cameras in the courtroom, but that said, reportedly black testimony
from black witnesses, excuse me, and testimony on the defense side, wherein at least one
of them started crying.
It broke for the prosecution.
So at that point, if you're sitting with the defenses and you're about to continue with
your case, you probably have to go back and say, hey, look, we got a Hail Mary here, and
that is, we put you on the stand to play for a sympathetic jury sentence after a top charge
convict.
In all the testimonies, Anthony was guilty and was the one who escalated.
Eyewitness testimony said that, no, Anthony was, no, they didn't say that Anthony was
guilty.
Eyewitness testimony said that, yes, he was bullied or yes, he was, some said he would
show with one hand, some said he would show with two hands. But it wasn't like the overall
I witnessed testimony from every single person involved. It didn't make it seem as though
Carmelo Anthony's life was an imminent danger. There were four non-white members of the jury,
non-black though.
Fiction feels to me like the kind of one in a million shot you never want to put your
client in the position of.
Feels to me like it would have at that point
the way things were going to Donna's point, say,
you know what, let's try to elicit some sympathy.
Carmelo, get up there and do your best.
The only thing I can think of is that they felt like,
for some reason, there are some facts
that we have not heard, that the prosecution may have
been able to draw out of Carmelo,
that they felt would have even further hurt that case.
Things like why he went to the tent,
why he had the knife.
There may be things that come out
that we didn't get in a four.
And this happens that we didn't get
for various evidentiary reasons in the four corners
of the case, that we're gonna hear a subsequent.
Because one of the things you notice,
you didn't get a lot of his character stuff here.
You didn't get even about Metcalfe,
like one of the things I was kind of waiting for
when the defense came forward,
was I was starting to wonder,
did they have some sort of thing up their sleeve
that's going to paint the victim?
However unsavory that is, and I think we'd agree it is,
because the kid is dead, but do they have something
where they're going to essentially paint the victim
as somebody who almost deserved it,
a bad kid who's had what was coming to him?
And of course all the reporting cuts against that,
and ultimately that's not what happened.
But I'm wondering if we're gonna get some kind of character
stuff that's going to come out that for whatever reason
they decided let's not roll those dice,
because the way this thing went
come on you can argue with now he's implying that like
the classic fox news implying that he's like uh...
he's he's uh...
if he were to uh...
if he were to defend himself if we go on the stand
If you were to go on the stand it would be fucking
he would he would come across like a
unfavorable way concluded
you're sitting with the defense is i think i might have taken the shot
come on get up there
do your best to be sympathetic maybe we get the manslaughter
and as a relatively young man you'll see the light of day again.
Very interesting. Paul Moro, thank you very much.
So Donna Rotuno, we're writing to hear from these attorneys
and we're also going to hear from General Jack Keen here in a moment on the
downing of a U.S. helicopter so we want to get to that story as well.
But is there a framework for sentencing here that is applicable based on this,
the environment of this case that speaks to you?
Well, I don't think that he's going to get the maximum.
I don't.
I think that we are going to hear him be more humanized in front of this jury now for sentencing.
I do think that given the fact that manslaughter was on the table and the jury rejected that,
I don't think you'll see less than 20 years.
But I definitely do think that you will see a sentence where maybe this young man can
see the light of day at some point in his life.
where another Austin Metcalf is never coming back
and this tragedy has already been compounded
given the fact that he will never be able to live again.
And of course, Carmelo Anthony can
and his family can still go and visit him.
And so I definitely think that the jury is going to
or the judge, whoever's gonna hand down
the ultimate sentence, it's going to be stiff.
And I do think that it's going to be on several decades.
I'm just not so sure we're going to hear a life sentence here.
So in terms of how this is gonna work,
we, I imagine we're gonna hear victim impact statements.
The judge and the jury will hear some statements
from these families, correct?
And is there any opportunity on the Anthony side
for them to plead for leniency in this case, for any reason?
Absolutely, absolutely, Martha, you will.
You will hear victim impact statements
from his twin brother, from his parents,
anybody that was close to him,
if he has grandparents living,
I mean, I'm sure we will hear from all of those people,
They will also testify most likely in front of this jury
if asked to do so.
And Carmelo Anthony's family will have the same ability.
His parents will be able to get up and talk about
what life will look like without him.
Now, remember, he has been out
and so he has been home with his family
that changes today upon this conviction
and he will be taken into custody as we heard earlier.
So they will talk about what it means
to not have him at home.
The siblings that he-
Yeah, I mean, there was one moment where they were being a little ridiculous, but overall, Fox News' commentary on this has been
even surprisingly even keeled. And I don't mean like it's good. I'm just shocked that they're not literally fucking endlessly posturing about how
Oh, shit.
Endlessly posturing about how this was a race war that was almost lost, but it's now one, you know what I mean?
Maybe my framing on this is so busted by what I see on the internet all the time.
Because like on the internet, the way that they talk about this case is like,
is people foaming out the mouth, like they were like, oh, he's doing this because he wanted to kill white people, blah, blah, blah.
all this shit.
Like they were trying to turn this into a.
They were doing the same thing that they did in the UK with the other
with the other kid who was stabbed by the Sikh man.
The Sikh man.
Though the white guy, what's his name? No, WAC.
Where it's like, this is classic.
This is what happens to white people. White people are under attack. Henry Nowak.
But for Fox News to not do that is I guess kind of strange. I feel like it's a little unexpected.
Maybe because like Twitter has rotted my brain and I just assumed that that's...
No, I think Fox News would do that normally. I don't know why they're not openly baying for blood.
Strange.
He may have and how it affects their lives and how he, you know, although alive will be missing from their family for a long period of time as well.
And so they will talk about that impact. They will talk about things in his life that are different from this because remember this is a, you know, four minute aspects of his life.
life. And so we're going to hear about the other 17 plus years that he's lived and the
things that he has done and the impact on his family. And so again, this is, there are
no winners here. So no matter what happens, um, this is a tragedy.
Actually, it's because it's not Jesse Waters. There is their fucking daytime broadcast.
That's probably what it is. Mayor's race. General election now said Mayor Karen Bass
will face off against progressive challenger Nitya Ramon after reality star Spencer
to 3rd place. Trevor Old is on the scene in LA. Good morning Trevor.
Good morning George. You know on election night Spencer Pratt was in 2nd place with a 40,000 vote lead
but he has now dropped below council member Nithy Rahman by more than 20,000 votes
and the race has been called so she will go head to head with current Mayor Karen Basser
in a November runoff. Spencer Pratt had said if Mayor Basser
Rahman won in this race he was going to give up on living in LA.
His campaign was fully focused on critiquing the mayor and it did generate a lot of traction
online, but not enough traction with voters in the city of Los Angeles, and
he'll come up just short of facing the mayor head to head. Now we know there's
been a lot of questions on why it's taking California so long to count the
votes. Well, 80% of voters here vote by mail and ballots postmarked by election
day can arrive as late as today and still be counted. Plus election workers are
cross-checking the signatures on all of those mail-in ballots. It is not a very
fast process but it is meant to prevent voter fraud. Start the steal baby.
Wow, meet Dora, she lives in California registered 126 year old who was voted in 51 elections
that has no idea. California's voting system is so corrupt that by simply knocking on the door of
one of the 126 year olds you can prove election fraud exposed at all.
get a license to be able to speak about this kind of stuff.
People are too fucking stupid.
There has been
comprehensive investigations on widespread voter fraud
because Republicans number one lie in an effort to justify voter suppression is
that there is widespread voter fraud taking place. Yours is the first revoked
though, Law. Buddy, I know you're probably talking about how like this this
biased government would try to do that, but if we're talking about like a normal
process, I'm probably, I think I might literally be one of the only people in
In the political commentary sphere that actually has a degree that corresponds exactly to what I do as a profession
You realize that right band in the UK though, yeah, I know
But
We're not talking about like an unjust system. We're talking about like a perfect system
Obviously, it's not going to happen anyway. All right. So my point is my point was rather
As far as this like voter fraud shit goes
okay
in
The United States of America the number one technique to justify voter suppression is to falsely claim that there is voter fraud going on
Okay, it's the number one technique
There have been comprehensive
studies conducted on it, and they've never found significant amounts of voter fraud in
this country. It's actually laughably low.
And as this count continues, the primary for governor is also still too close to call,
but former Biden Health and Human Services Secretary Javier Massera and former Fox News
host Steve Hilton have the inside track to make the runoff. Rebecca.
Nationwide attention on this one. All right, Trevor, thank you.
It is primary day in four states, and the main attraction appears to be Grand Plattener
and the U.S. Senate race, it's in Maine. Voters are choosing a Democrat to challenge Republican
Senator Susan Collins there. They've heard a lot of negative stories about Plattner's relationship
with women. Caitlyn Huey Burns is at a polling place in Portland with the latest. Caitlyn,
people on both sides of the aisle are watching this one. Good morning to you.
And good morning to you, Gail. And voters are voting today right behind me. And a Plattner win
today would make way for a more key match-up that could help determine the balance of power
in the Senate, but also could test just how much voters are willing to tolerate to ensure
success for their party.
Despite a slew of high-profile controversies, Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner
remains defiant.
We're going to win on Tuesday, and after Tuesday...
The main oyster farmer and marine veteran spent the days ahead of his party's primary,
pushing back against allegations from some former girlfriends of unsettling and toxic
behavior.
One alleged he physically bruised her.
Plattner denies the allegations of physical abuse, calling them politically motivated.
Many Democrats we met here still back him.
Do you have any concerns about some of the things that have come out on him?
I feel like people who have experienced hardship and made mistakes in their lives, we all have
made them.
And others are at least willing to hear him out.
I think a lot of people have a lot of skeletons in their closet that we don't know about.
But winning the primary would be just the start.
Platner is trying to do something no other Democrat has done in 30 years.
Defeat Republican Senator Susan Collins, who last week set a Senate record for casting
10,000 consecutive votes.
I think she's done a lot from the state of Maine.
I truly believe the Susan Cullinan is...
Yeah, a lot to fuck the state of Maine and also America.
I want to represent us.
Definitely Susan Cullinan will have my vote.
Now, many Democratic lawmakers are standing by Platner, but his former political director,
who quit the campaign in October, wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post yesterday saying that
Flatner should not be a US senator and that his vlog ZBS news by the way ZBS news
holy shit a
106 year old the diff shit discovered the SQL server at one point replaced blank date of birthfields of the default
119 100 so we horizon 86 year old woman nice
nice. Hello Doris. Yes, how are you doing? We're just going through the voting rules
here and we're just confirming anybody who's above the age of 100 years old and right here
it says you're 126 years old. No, you got the wrong house. Are you Doris? Yeah, but
you got the wrong house. You got the wrong place. That's the wrong information on that
No. No.
It's even funnier that they literally do go to the house,
and they do see that that person is there,
and that person has literally voted.
86-year-olds love voting.
I'm just assuming that they definitely have voted,
because that's the favorite activity of people over the age of 65.
It's what they look forward to every two years.
And therefore, instead of undermining his fraud argument,
everybody turns around and goes,
Oh my God, clearly there's a lot of fraud happening here.
Like, oh, but even then, I can't stress this enough. America has a lot of issues.
Okay, America has a lot of problems. Our systems are busted overall.
But if there's one thing that America unironically has very few problems with,
At least for the time being that might change. It's literally voting. Okay, the vote systems are fairly intact
there are numerous comprehensive studies and
millions of dollars poured into the shit over and over again by right-wing committees by bipartisan committees by
right-wing think tanks the most comprehensive study on
widespread voter fraud comes from the American Enterprise Institute
The American Enterprise Institute went out and tracked every single instance of voter fraud they could find, and their results were comical.
I can't remember the exact number off the top of my mind right now, but I believe over the course of like multiple decades, billions of votes were cast and counted,
And they found, I think, like 1,200 instances of voter fraud, total.
Okay?
And for the record, those people were not all Democrats.
I need you to also understand this.
Those people were not all Democrats.
This wasn't one race.
This wasn't one race in one locality.
And they were all Democrats that engaged in voter fraud.
it was over the course of 30 plus years with billions of votes cast. Okay, billions of votes
were cast over the course of 30 plus years and they found like 1200 or 1300 instances of voter fraud.
And it was, I don't know if it was like, you know, half and half Democrat or Republican,
But that was the total number. It is the most comprehensive, oh, it was Heritage Foundation.
It wasn't the American Enterprise Institute, I apologize. Yes, it was the Heritage Foundation.
So, it is kind of funny that the argument always is like, you don't understand,
like, this is happening, it's widespread, all this shit. Voter fraud is not an issue in American
politics. Surprisingly, because there's issues everywhere. And ironically enough, voter fraud
is not one of those areas where there's like severe problems. Our electoral system has
severe problems. We don't have compulsory voting. We don't have a federal holiday on
the day of voting. There are many hurdles in the place in front of people to go out
and vote. There's voter suppression, which is done at the systemic level. There's also
Electoral fraud, which is, again, done at the systemic level where ballot harvesting initiatives
is sometimes looked at critically because sometimes there might be some fuckery. I
think it was North Carolina. It was a famous case, which was, again, Republicans that were
engaging in it, but that's besides the point. Yeah, lack of voting locations, people being
purged off their voter rolls without being told that they were purged.
At the systemic level, I mean, the Secretary of State at the time, who became the governor
of the state of Georgia, literally had his hands involved personally as the Secretary
of State in purging numerous names off voter rolls and winning that election, the gubernatorial
election.
There is tremendous amounts of suppression.
In America, the problem isn't that too many people are voting, okay?
In the United States of America, the problem is too little people are voting, okay?
Brian Camp, yes.
It's one of the biggest lies, aside from immigrants do crime.
There's two major lies that Republicans tell all the time, and they've told it to themselves
so much, and everybody else that will listen, so much that they now believe it.
Number one, immigrants do crimes, like in overwhelming numbers, okay?
That's a lie.
The evidence is the exact opposite, okay?
I cannot stress this enough.
The evidence shows that time and time again, there's been numerous studies on this as well,
that migrants, undocumented and documented non-citizens alike, are responsible for a
lower share of crime per capita, much lower share of crime per capita than documented
citizens are.
Okay?
That's number one.
The second biggest lie the Republicans have told in perpetuity is the idea that there
There are far too many people voting in this country and that we have to restrict them.
The problem is not that far too many people are voting.
The problem is far too little people are voting.
Okay?
I'm a numbers guy.
I know you like number.
And as a numbers guy, I looked at the number and I couldn't believe it.
Voter fraud, not a problem.
The real problem is voter suppression.
And the issue is, Republicans have won this conversation on voter suppression because
it's somewhat beneficial for the Democrats too.
You don't want too many pesky little poors voting.
You don't want too many black and brown people voting.
Let's be real.
I mean, Democrats don't mind black people voting, that's true, but the right kinds of
black people, right?
That's their estimation, at least, the ones that will go out and vote for the Democratic
party. Democrats in the primaries take advantage of the voter suppression against their left
flank and Republicans in the general take advantage of voter suppression against their
left flank. Yeah, camp literally removed precincts from majority black areas where he could
remove precincts. He removed machines. So some precincts in fucking Atlanta only had two
machines. Yes, it was an incredible theft that took place.
Amazing new phenomenon of prediction markets used by dumbass Republicans being cited by
Republicans as proof of fraud when their dipshit candidate loses.
Yes.
What is this?
Hey, Sean Hannity, I think if you debated this on the hunt, your favorability will go
under the green.
This is disrespectful to me and this community, which I have nothing to do with.
May it show them who's boss.
Yes.
I did I did see this and I and I shook my head. I was like, no, this is not good
I I'm retweeting it to highlight the thing that I don't appreciate. I
Hate this meme
While you guys don't have compulsory voting
the freedom ain't free, brother. You force my ass to vote. I'll fucking die to fight to make sure I never vote.
When it comes to immigrant crimes, it seems to me that the marginal amount of it doesn't matter to them. It's the fact that there is any. Yeah. That's ridiculous. That's not how that goes.
That's not how you, that's not how you, you, you set rules. Okay. You can't just be like, well, even one crime is too many. That's like saying, okay, even one gay crime is too many. So we have to abolish gays.
That's fucking insane. Okay.
Also, systemic enforcement cannot be done on the basis of immigration status, regardless.
It's ridiculous.
You can't just section off different parts of American society and be like, well, these
guys are the ones who are responsible for the crimes.
It's fucking stupid.
Especially if you were to look at that, you know, like for example, in an effort to combat
pedophilia, that would require you to, I guess, cordon off white men. In an effort to combat
school shootings, that would require you to, you know, cordon off and preemptively jail
white kids, white students, white male students. And that's not how you do some sort of crime
enforcement. It's not how it works. You can't just like fucking pre-crime. You can't just
pre-crime people on the basis of their immigration status or on the basis of
their fucking you know ethnicity or race or gender and then decide that's it
these guys are all liable they're all gonna do crimes they're just waiting on
the appropriate time for them to do it so we should fucking jail them ahead of
time
Obviously, there's a lot in that behavior that's really challenging.
It's hard to stomach, you know, in some of it.
But, at the end of the day, I think that this is a choice.
If the choice on the ballot is between that and a senator who's voted to take healthcare
away from millions of Americans, that's the situation that we have to weigh.
Obviously there's a lot in that behavior that's...
How can left action Australia reach you? I don't know.
What does Terbi Derby think about it? I don't know, but I love thinking about Terbi Dirty.
Terbi Dirty! Terbi Dirty!
It's gonna be the governor of South Dakota!
Hassan is a chud. Yes, I am a chud. Yes, dude. I'm sick and tired of it. I'm an unapologetic chud
As a 36 year old who was spoon fed conservatism 2003 to 2008 seeing you and Hannity in the same room
with my barbenheimer
Yes only
How's your back doing these days not great currently because I'm fucking sitting on the most ash chair of all time
I'm a chud I'm a fucking chud ass loser, bro
This is a question was worded when voters were informed of platter scousers rumors allege
Grand Platinum sexually assaulted multiple women and texted I would rape them to show I'm dominant his wife is defending him knowing this
Would you vote? Oh?
My god
His wife is defending him knowing this would you vote who would you vote for and they?
They still went to prep Platinum by 48%
Dude, what the fuck?
That is fucking insane. Also rumors allege
That's the load-bearing sentiment here really rumors allege
Yeah
You can say rumors allege grand platter is a pedophile who wants to fuck your kids
Would you still vote for him? You can just say that as well might as well go the distance
the
Oh
Fuck wait, what the fuck there's a brief F. There's a brief F
Hold on we're back we didn't go anywhere calm down
It was for one second man calm down
Jesus Christ!
Get your hotel to get you another chair that can accommodate you before your back breaks.
I already asked.
It's so funny when we first came in, we were like, this chair sucks, we should get a new one.
And we were like, hey, we have a, we have a, I have a back problem.
I have a back problem. Is there possible, is it possible to get a better chair?
Like a more ergonomic chair to sit in? You know what the chair they sent up?
One of those fucking director chairs, dude.
They sent me one of those chairs that they give like film directors, like the high chair.
I was like, that's not going to fix it.
It's going to make things much worse, I think.
Some people are saying it's a fake AI poll.
Yeah, I just don't believe this fucking poll at all.
I feel like it's just the standards are totally out of whack.
Um, it seems strange.
Iran probably shot the man pan to a shot head.
Um, this is, yes, they do this.
Uh, the Houthis started doing it first.
Ethan is suing I dubs.
He can't see him to learn.
Wait, what the fuck?
Ethan Klein is suing iDubbbz
What the hell?
HE'S
What is happening what the fuck is happening what is this is a fit Ian
Jomha aka Idebs announced he's being sued by Ethan Klein for defamation either
as a monster anyone doesn't see how his destroying speech online will look back
at this with disgust what is this
official I am being sued by Ethan Klein
In the courts of Calgary, Alberta for defamation I
Do plan on fighting against this
Bro is opening new fronts like he's Israel no literally what the fuck I
mean
Is Ethan Klein the most spiritually Israeli podcast or out there like actually?
He's doing NSEE
He's just opening up new fronts for no reason
Why Alberta probably stronger likelihood of winning a defamation suit as opposed to America where there's a lot more
There's a lot stronger rules around it
the
and lives in Edmonton
did you
say america deserve nine eleven you fucking terrorist i lost my brother in
iraq you fucking diddie piker
what
what the fuck
man who's been in here
For months, can you do only political discourse and don't include Islamic doctrination? No, I can't. I have to. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I have to keep doing Islamic indoctrination chatter.
Sorry.
It's time for the daily saying of the shahada.
Sorry about your brother.
But if I were you, I wouldn't be, you know, constantly accusing Muslims of being terrorists,
you know, kind of feels like that that mentality is what justified the failed global war on
terror, which led to your brother dying.
So I feel like you're perpetuating that same exact cycle of hatred that will then cause
others to go and die overseas. But at least this time they'll be doing it for a higher
purpose, maybe to preserve the interests of the most moral nation-state of all. The nation-state
of Israel is real high, is real high, is real high. Anyway,
Have you gotten your daily American Reserve 9-11 yet?
No I haven't.
But for now it is in the hands of the courts and our attorneys.
I will say that it worries me what it means for the commentary community and especially
the Canadian commentary community.
But this is about all I can say, at least for now.
I'm sorry that the stream is so short.
I wish I could give you a lot more grease, but I will resume the regularly scheduled content.
I think it's pretty crazy that if you're like legitimately a mentally disturbed person and
you just like lucked in to unfathomable amounts of money, you can just consistently be a demon
and just
sue people to try to bury them in fucking costly litigation over and over again
and especially if you like
especially if you're capable of of reaching an audience that's like
constantly demanding
and rewarding you for
for bullying other people through this sort of uh... frivolous litigation
then you can kind of keep it going i mean maybe your audience shrinks over time
but you just like keep it going for as long as you have money
i find it very strange that there is no repercussions against this sort of thing
what is this ethan clonus is a raffle carter now he's doing items in his wife
he's made an entire career of talking shit about people and now he can stop
suing everyone talks back
i'm sure the course will love seeing clips of even saying he will never stop
harassing them
the sad part is uh... destiny omni liberal sex best is the only one who said
that Acer Acer is likely to pedophile those molesters on children, so Ethan decides to sue Idafs instead.
He loves to go after people who, he assumes, don't have money to fight back.
Yeah, that one is actually really weird.
Like,
that this, this one is like such a strange case, cause like, what's the defamation?
Like,
Idafs didn't do the defamation.
a whole-ass third party, a separate person did, but you can't fucking go after them because you're afraid.
So you're just choosing to go after the person who put the statement on the screen, is that what it is?
Are you suing Ian for showing this message on stream? Yeah, I don't think that is going to hold in a court of law.
Like, I don't think you can do that.
What's the, I don't think that's even,
I don't think there's even a,
is there even a precedent for it?
Like, what could you possibly,
what could you possibly do in that situation?
I mean, if you're, if someone else is defaming you
and you're, if someone else has defamed me
And another person is like using that for commentary purposes.
Is that defamation?
Maybe in Canada?
I mean, I don't know how it works in Canada.
I mean, but the point here is not to win this case anyway.
The point here is to fucking make them suffer.
Yeah. The point here is to make them spend a shit ton of money in defense.
But yeah, I don't know. I feel like...
This seems like it's an exceptionally silly defamation suit. Like, it's not even...
And like, I don't know how any judge looks at this and goes,
wow, this seems pretty egregious.
And, you know, we're going to take this to court.
Like imagine going through fucking law school, passing the bar,
like maybe becoming a prosecutor, spending your whole career reading,
teaching law maybe, becoming a judge, and then you're fucking facing this particular defamation suit.
You're like, I've been a judge for 30 years, and now I have to sit here and look at this dumb bullshit.
They got to do like a inner pole style full full court ban for Ethan Klein.
They just got to they got to make it so that it's illegal for him to ever sue anybody.
They're gonna have his face up in courts all around the world like they were like do not
Do not take any lawsuits from this man.
And when people say.
When people say.
Oh, his lawyer is like taking him for a ride.
Like, I think he's on the journey together.
Like, I don't think his, his West Bank lawyer is the one that's like taking him on a ride.
I think his West Bank lawyers is like silly enough to take whatever fucking case.
That Ethan wants to pursue and sure I'm sure he's being rewarded handsomely for it, but like
I'm fairly certain that Ethan is aware of what he's doing
There's a term for it, it's called vexatious litigator. I know but it's it's somewhat difficult to become a vexatious
litigator no
The vexatious litigant is an individual who abuses the judicial system.
Like what are the criteria?
Is the five and seven rule, in many states like California, a person is deemed vexatious
if they file at least five meritless, self-represented lawsuits in a seven-year period.
Oh my God, how many has he done?
Well this is in Alberta, so it doesn't even count.
many has he done so far? So we just got to, we just got to keep punishing him in the court
of law. So in a matter of seven years, so then after that, it's over. Wait, you have
to be self-represented, like, no. Yeah, this system is so cooked. Um, relitigating lost
claims, attending to the same person over the facts and issues have already been, uh,
definitive rule on by court, repeatedly filing unnecessary motions, dragging out discovery,
or using legal processes solely to cause delays or rack up legal fees for the opposition party.
I mean, he has done that, hasn't he?
Ethan literally said a while back that he'd be looking at
Ian in Canada instead of California because he said he was almost positive it wouldn't hold up in California course due to our
Slap Laws, so we already gave the game away
You would know better than anyone does he really have that much money to keep doing this shit
I have no fucking idea bro. How am I supposed to know that? I
I guess the only retaliation in the circumstance could be potentially against his lawyer if
he's like participating in these frivolous lawsuits over and over again.
I guess you could complain to the bar or something.
But that's it.
Not really anything you could do.
It's America.
If you have money and you're fucking crazy enough, you can literally consistently bully people.
What is this? Take my breath away, baby.
My God, moan in my ear like that. Talk dirty to me. Be my Twitter dumb.
Okay, no thanks, Shatter.
On Thursday,
Again, I'm sorry it's so short, but we will be back.
And I appreciate you being here for this important announcement.
Have a good day, everyone.
They're convinced Ian went broke.
Maybe he did.
I don't know, but it was under the impression he wrote that early YouTube money to chill
life filming swirls.
I hope he has enough to go after Ethan's dumb ass.
I mean, what's what's exceptional about this is the fact that the other person that made the
uh,
Definitory claims
Is and and then doubled down on them is not being sued at all by the victim
We're back outside the garden. We have approved ticketed msg wash party for game four as soon as we pray to wash together
Let me be clear this historic joyful moment of our city. We will not allow to be disrupted by vows be safe take care
Celebrate responsibly nixon five
The mayor is out front for the game.
It might have been you should go over Ethan Zydesi again sometime for a video. His audience still think he's propel sign brother. I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't think we can salvage his audience.
Okay.
Okay.
I think if at this point, after numerous frivolous lawsuits against pro-Palestinian content creators,
after suing fucking Noah Samson, specifically for his piece, his opinion piece, on the service
that Ethan Klein has provided in defense of Israel's crimes, and he considers that to
be a defamation I mean it's just I don't even know what kind of audience he has
left I suspect that it's just a fucking weird assortment of like random
reactionary toadies all over the internet that congregate and basically use
Ethan like a lol cow right at this point it's got to be that right I don't I mean
maybe that and like some old-head teddy fresh lovers like 37 year old HR
ladies that that still think you know oh he's messy that's why I like him that's
what I envision his audience to look like that's the that's the demographic
makeup it's just like weird fucking 4chan groipers and and kiwi farm
enjoyers that are like yes pursue our base desires against these people that
have wronged me personally by being a hijabi woman online or or you know
pissing me off because they were a woman many of them just because they're
women but then also I dubs because he he actually changed his mind on saying the
n-word and I can't stand that he grew up and it reminds me constantly that I
I never did and I hate that.
How dare he lower it over me like this?
Kill them, destroy their lives.
You know, that kind of people.
Well, shocking to me, Kiwi farmers hate him
because he's Jewish.
No, but the thing is, you forget,
it's like the Nick Fuentes equation, right?
Nick Fuentes hates Jews,
but he hates me more than he hates Jews, you know?
And his fan base is the same.
I think the question is, Hayes Jews more than he hates Israel.
And I certainly think he hates
people like myself more than he hates Jews.
Straight up.
It's a disgrace to every veteran that has PTSD, like I do, because he's using it as
an excuse to cover up his own personal failings.
You do not abuse women because you were in combat.
You do not say things about trans people.
You do not wear Nazi symbols because you were in combat.
That is because you are who you are.
He's a little bitty, well-to-do, hiding behind his, uh...
They found the one bad empanada.
They found the one bad empanada in Maine, dude.
They found him.
They found the bad empanada fan.
It's just weird because his criticism of the grand planner are identical.
I don't know why.
His status as a veteran and not acknowledging himself as a failed human being.
Nothing good about him.
I mean, I can't really get into the bad part, but it's like anybody with a Nazi tattoo and
it's not a bug's bunny tattoo, okay?
It's like, oh my god, I got a tattoo and nobody was, it was just, it's just, if you're honest
about it, if you was honest about it today, it was a mistake, I got a nasty tattoo, it
was stupid, I was drunk.
Yeah, I don't think you would be in favor of that either, but that's...
And I was in the service, and that's what you do in the service.
But it was like, at that point, it's like, hey.
Yeah, not shown.
Fox News is guarding 30,000 prior street interviews
until they found a negative one and the 30,000 in first.
That's it.
At that point, it said, no brainer for me.
Do you think Democrats should drop them?
Of course they should.
I mean, it's like they're locked in now.
There's nothing to do about being a Democrat or Republican.
They want to get rid of Susan Collins, take over the Senate,
and that's the bottom line.
They want to get rid of Susan Collins.
they want to take over the senate
hum interesting so
so this is not just a regular main voter
this is a republican main voter
hum
very interesting
that he could be
he could be a little bit
doesn't matter who he is
it's just a fact that
they want to take over the senate
and that's their only option right now
i think it's crazy
I think there's a lot of things about him that people should understand that it's not just they say, oh, it's personal
But then that also indicates his character. Well, you know, nobody's perfect. Everyone makes mistakes
He's apologized for the mistakes. He's made and he's taken action about it and
If you listen to what he's about in terms of policy
He is very much
I swear to God, dude
white chud-coded guy with left-populous messaging genuinely, I think, is catnip.
Like, I don't... dude, dude. I cannot imagine. I cannot imagine what the attitude would be.
if he was like even Italian okay like if he was if he was like you know Hispanic oh boy oh my god
there's no shot I mean we have a direct one-to-one comparison right we have it it's Abdul al-sayed
just literally, unvarnished, perfect reputation, lifetime of service, defending
people's access to health care, lifetime advocacy for Medicare for all, and the way
that the media tries to talk about it is like, like as though he's a monster,
he's like a very scary Muslim guy, like I cannot comprehend what it would look
like if he had one of the controversies that Grand Plattener has had. Yeah, I mean, Hamawi.
Hamawi, they're calling him an al-Qaeda militant, man.
This dude's a doctor. They're calling him an al-Qaeda militant. They're saying he did 9-11.
He was literally at 9-11. Okay? He was at ground zero saving lives.
Like, think about the audacity of some folk to be like, hey, this guy who was at ground zero
saving lives at a field hospital actually is an al-Qaeda 9-11 terrorist.
Muslim or not, they're smearing all leftist is true. If you're anti-Israel, you're getting smeared
Okay, if you're anti-Israel, you're getting smeared. That's that's a certainty. That's a certainty. However, however
What I'm talking about is the public reception
Because this barrage that they've opened up against grand platter this multifaceted
ongoing
Never ending manufactured outrage campaign has seemingly not put a dent in his fucking reputation
I'm not talking about whether or not they attack you if you're anti-Israel or you know against corporate interest in this country
That's gonna happen. That's a given
right
What I'm simply stating is whether or not people will trust you
It's hard for me not to, you know, compare my own experiences as a quote-unquote political
operative over the many years that I've done this, advocating for similar, if not sometimes
more radical, things that these guys are advocating for.
And the way that motherfuckers talk about me online, you think I'm like strangling puppies
and murdering children on a fucking daily basis.
Meanwhile, the people making said accusations literally have like pedophilia charges and shit, and it still doesn't matter
It's actually crazy. I'm always like dude. Do you hear the person that's saying this hello?
Like they have no credibility to make accusations you just want to believe it
Platinum's candidacy matters in part because all the worst people in America are knives
out at him and that does matter along with his positions are Gaza oligarchy democratic
organizing his candidacy is a better battering ram against them party establishment fascism's
enabler I agree another officer is hit the building what what the fuck is this okay dude
come on.
Start this style. This style. I don't think it's happening. Okay. I'm pretty sure it's
over. I'm pretty sure it's style over bros. Steyer bros, it might be style over.
Very I voted for
I voted for Graham. Okay. And then who did you vote for for the governor?
Governor Shanna. Okay. Did you rank anybody else for that one?
uh... and a second
and uh... what you've been for them
i really like what he has to say
and what makes me crazy
how they attack
not his policies
but in person
you know some of the stuff
i think it's great that it was brought out
i swear to god the vanguard is actually the old man
the vanguard is actually the old's
they have what it takes
They don't give a fuck
They don't care they see their eyes are on the prize. They're like nope. That's guys of politics. He's not my best friend. Okay. I don't care
San Francisco, San Fran just dropped
Tom Steyer
over
Xavier Baccaria
They don't do this they don't do this like wishy-washy bullshit, you know
Where they're like, well, sorry my Canada has to be literally the most perfect person that's ever that's been kissed by angels and
Anything shorter that I will literally allow. I will literally vote for the Republican personally
Even though I fully recognize that their actions have been far worse because I don't I don't think about these things at all
I don't give a shit
Since a generic damage beatings is caused by 10 points in at least one
Pole eight points better than the candidate they half vetted
Because perhaps these folks could have some introspection on their ability to discern what voters want
So in this scenario main voters have no agency and the two operatives working with a non-pro candidate
Control the demilitarial outcome but in a presidential election with many more operatives and a pro candidate outcome is determined by a few independent political reporters and commentators
You people have no idea what kind of shit main liberals are on law. Yeah
Yeah. Chris Rabb spoke. I want to get you to weigh about Platinum. My goat Chris Rabb,
I stand with Chris Rabb against all enemies. Okay. If Chris Rabb has no defenders, that
That must mean I have died. I have perished. Okay. I will be the last stay the lone defender
of Chris Rab and on what's going on right now with Graham Plattner up in Maine, because
I do think it has some important fissures here in terms of the direction of the Democratic
party. You know, his ideological program in yours, not exactly the same, but you're more
or less in the same lane and have a, you know, similar views of the world. And certainly,
you know, I've been clear cut, clear throated opponents of genocide.
Are you only going to cover Platinum and never cover the increasing anti-trans violence?
Yes.
Is this just a Platinum show?
Are you ever going to use your privileged position to cover the increasing anti-trans
violence?
Why don't you use your privileged position to cover the increase in anti-trans violence?
More and more trans people are being murdered every month.
I'm sorry, this is the grand Platinum show.
Yeah.
For the last five hours, as you guys know, we've been doing Platinum Only, and we're
going to continue doing Platinum Only.
I apologize.
This is the Platinum Only show.
It's just how it goes.
Right, of APAC funding and the influence of the Israel lobby.
He has faced a number of allegations, some of which he's acknowledged that he had a very
rough govid after serve
what is it about grand planner that like
this is literally the first time i'm covering grand planner today when there's
straight up a fucking primary taking place where people are voting for him
it's been five hours
i've obviously talked about iran
msg
uh... the the cornello anthony case numerous other things throughout the
process in Fantino FIFA corruption and like now literally it's he's it's it's
the primary day right it's the primary day in Maine people are voting for him
right now and after five hours I briefly touch on the issue they're like dude
this is literally all you cover every day non-fucking stop you cover every
candidate who gets pushed back from the major media in today's main main primary
day. Yes.
Bring in the military that he had a drinking problem. He has PTSD that he
engaged in toxic behavior and relation. Ironically enough, Grant Planner, one of
the most pro trans openly pro trans candidates running on the Democratic
party ticket, but that's totally besides the point.
Other aspects of what she's completely denied, there was an allegation from a
Republican political operative that he had grabbed her by the shoulders forcefully,
that he had yanked her by the hand out of a cab, that he had put her arm behind
her back and pushed her inside of a room. Again, she says this occurred.
He denies it. And the New York Times was unable to confirm it.
I wonder what you make of the allegations and also what has been seen as
extreme scrutiny into his life that doesn't seem to be matched with a level of scrutiny into others who do not challenge the oligarchy and do not challenge, you know, a pack and the status quo on Israel as aggressively as he does.
he does. Yeah, you know, this is a, this is challenging for me because I felt that folks
who have been identified as hard-sprabbled, populist, left-of-center white guys get far
more leeway than folks like me, black progressives. And that's a double standard that is largely
based on race. And I think that's a conversation we need to have. If I had some problematic
tattoo that related to white folk, I don't think I would be viable, even in the majority
black district, because I think the money would not be there for me to run the campaign
I needed. I think there's a clear double standard that the left has to talk about as it relates
to our racial politics and what is acceptable? I mean everything he said is correct by the way.
It's not like he's wrong. It's literally true. One of the greatest examples of this is Summer Lee,
okay? Summer Lee is one of the best Congress persons in the United States of America, okay?
And she never gets coverage. Like never, ever, ever gets coverage.
It's something that Corey Bush also took issue with as well in our conversation if you recall,
especially when it comes to fundraising. It's just black candidates, specifically black insurgent
candidates, because like machine politics has a fundraising vehicle built into it, but black
insurgent candidates, black anti-establishment candidates, they don't get the shine. They
They don't get the coverage and they certainly don't get the infrastructural support that
they need.
They have to create it on their own and on top of that they have to battle obvious forces
of racialized animus, systemic discrimination, the entire fucking process.
It sucks.
And it's doubly fucked up for black women.
It's exceptionally harder for black women.
The only time that insurgent candidates ever get coverage, if they're black, is if they're
being presented in a negative manner in a more mainstream setting.
So he's technically not wrong.
Obviously, this is a Senate seat, it's a high-profile Senate seat.
That's part of the reason why there's a lot of controversy, the Israel lobby is obviously
coming after him pretty aggressively. But yeah. I mean, look at, look at Dario Lisa after
Latina running against Espey out right now. The only mission coverage that she gets is
often negatively framed. And it's really interesting because in spite of the negative
framing on the coverage. It's usually on issues that she's good on. So it actually ends up
backfiring. But like, that's crazy. There's no, I have yet to see one fucking positive
article about Dario Lisa. Not one. There's no like, Oh, what's up with these insurgencies?
A young Afro Latina, a candidate is running around the country, you know, all this shit.
one where the fuck is it where's the New York Times piece if she was a
centrist establishment dem the machine will support her maybe like oh finally
unseating the old guard here we go there be profiles there be positive fucking
profiles on her
huh
I think that's a good point.
And you know, I also PTSD. I've
actual PTSD. And I also have
political PTSD because in this
state, we elected a fake
populist in
I get very, very nervous.
I don't know, Plattner, I've not followed his race closely.
I've had a grueling 10 month campaign I'm just coming out of.
So now I'm really seeing what's on the landscape of opportunity
in the House and the Senate.
But I do think we need to hold space for folks
with genuine grievances.
And we need to have a process for those folks
who are expressing legitimate concerns
about the behaviors and choices of candidates,
but to do so in a way that is in the spirit
of restorative justice, as opposed to the spirit
of the politics of personal destruction.
And I think that is something that is really,
really necessary because what we don't wanna do
is to silence or erase the voices of people
who have felt real harm, particularly women,
but we also have to make sure that we do not feel
that there's a class of candidate that has to be perfect.
There are no perfect candidates.
And we also have to make sure
that those candidates acknowledge their faults.
Everyone has them and how we work through them.
So if he said, I have a, you know,
it's, I understand when someone says,
I made a bad choice as a young man
and I was struggling with addiction
and that sort of thing, we need to hold space for that.
But you also may have intervening years or decades
where you did not do any further introspection
about what you've done so that you can feel
a sense of atonement that other people can value
as legitimate long before you ever consider public office.
We can hold those two truths at the same time.
He's left his infighting man, I don't mind with this sentiment.
He's going all over the place, what's his point?
I don't think he knows enough about Grand Planner.
Guys, I think you're placing more emphasis on his, you know, random analysis than it deserves.
Okay.
You're getting betrayed.
I've had it.
Oh, Fox News.
I'll take an interview.
Oh, tell all with session with gay sex.
Oh, Fox News.
All.
It's fucked up, man.
Dyer releases opponents, completely dodges question from Andrew Solander on whether he
will reject APAC spending on his behalf.
He accepted a direct APAC contribution, as recently as March is back by several PACs
that have seen recent flood of funding from crypto and Israel lobbies.
APAC, their brand has become completely toxic in the Democratic primary.
This is presented by Anthropic, oh my god, dude, I hate everything.
So I just want to ask you directly, would you reject APAC spending on your behalf?
I think the most important thing with regards to a campaign funding is that we must reform
campaign financing at the federal level and that money should be taken out of politics
at the federal level.
Obviously.
He's not calling out people for supporting him.
He's calling out the inconsistencies of his story.
It's not a good look, bro.
I know he's not paying attention for two months.
It sounds like he's asking people to consider Susan Collins.
I think it'll be all right.
Bad news for Nate Bluing. Updates, Super PAC, Sourport. Oh my god. 2.8 million into
Utah's congressional primaries. New Dems drop 1 million ad buy for Ben McAdams.
Holy fuck. Oh, this sucks so much ass for Nate Bluing. New Democrat majority
PAC is absolutely trying to cook Nate Bluing in Utah and he's double fuck
because on the other side there's other like boat splitters as well.
Aye aye aye. This pro business DMFI APAC from Grubashana Rewriter opponent's record.
It shows that they're taking it seriously, though.
Yeah.
New U.S. strikes on Iran, breaking new explosions have been reported in the JASC area of southern
Iran.
Local residents said they heard blasts a short time ago marking a second wave of explosives
early Tuesday, earlier informed sources confirmed attacks targeting Jusport in the nearby Kuhay
Mubarak area. The exact cause and extent of the explosions remain unclear. I have an idea on what it could be.
Mai Vong.
Surge is in the first place. What the hell yonte?
Oh my god, that's incredible.
You
Despite its defeats on the battlefield, the U.S. off to the test start determination are powerful armed forces will leave no attack or threat unanswered.
Leave our region if you want to be safe.
History of the Persian Gulf has many chapters on dire fates of intruding outsiders.
Forever Persian Gulf.
What is this?
Bro, they're visual aids have gotten a little bit worse.
I'm not going to lie.
Okay.
I mean, they were doing banger after banger with the Lego stuff, like they were straight up cooking and now it's kind of sad to see that they're, I mean, this is, this is not the best forever Persian golf.
It's kind of weak.
My man is on posting.
YouTube took down all the Lego vids that's fucked up.
Barack Ravid confirms wave 2 is happening.
U.S. official second wave of attacks in Iran against air defense systems and radar.
It's so funny how far the internet shit spreads.
Furious that I know what this means.
Dude, Dave Weigel being tapped in on Ethan Klein's
status as a vexatious litigant is really funny.
Dave Weigel,
due to his many years of knowing who I am,
has unlocked new levels of fucking brain rot
that I don't think he ever foresaw himself unlocking.
And it's very funny
He is evens Barak ravine
That doesn't even make sense what the fuck does that even mean
I mean, saying someone is someone else's barography is a very funny way to determine what they do.
It doesn't even fit for Day Weigel, but it's still pretty funny.
Yeah.
Dave also has a tendency to retweet some of the craziest shit that he is not actually
in support of, just so you understand.
And I do think that his perspective has shifted a little bit more into the center over the
years, but he's still fairly solid.
He's the best candidate by far and probing into the minutiae of his personal relationships
when you don't do that for any other candidate is ridiculous.
If we want folks that are representing us from the working class, they're not necessarily
going to have a groomed and perfect political record coming into the politics.
He's got new ideas and he's saying things for the people and about the people and I
just really appreciate that.
It's not the old school stuff and yeah, there's some baggage but I think that he's done with
that and I'm not concerned about that.

Senator, you mentioned you have made endorsements in races across the country ahead of the midterm
elections in some of these primaries.
There is a major primary election tomorrow in the state of Maine.
candidate you endorse there is Graham Platner. How about a
looking? How about a look at a mills voter? Oh, hell, yeah.
Oh, fuck, yeah. Okay, listen, listen. That's a treat because
that's a Hassanabi head. As you guys know, as you guys know,
it's Pills Mafia around these parts. Until the day we die,
pills mafia to the, you know, to take the bitter pill till the very end. As you guys
know, this is my take. Sincerely, the RNC certified it as well. If you recall, they were like
trying to attack Janet Mills, uh, by, by, uh, using my endorsement against her. This
is probably one of our guys. So let's hear what, uh, what this mills in a hurry, what
What this mills in area has to say.
That was Plattner and Mills.
Oh, okay.
Thank you.
I need that, uh, Mills and Plattner.
Plattner.
So you ranked Mills first?
Yes.
Okay.
And then for Governor, do you remember?
Tell me the list again.
That was Narav Shah.
You had, um, Troy Jackson.
You had Chilly Pingree.
I mean, uh, Hannah Pingerie,
Shana Bellows.
Hosanabe is a dog shocker? Yes.
It's true.
And this guy actually loves it.
I do it for this guy.
Okay.
Brother, this is what I mean when I say these people love voting.
Okay? They don't even vote for things. They don't even vote against things. They just like the act of voting.
Genuinely, I think there is a good deal of people out there who are just like, I'm 867 years old.
And I have voted in every election. Okay? I voted in every primary. I voted in the general.
I love voting. I live to vote. Doctors told me I have to get healthy. And I thought to myself,
do I even have a life worth living? And then I reminded myself, I can go out and vote.
I can go out and do my civic duty. This is what all people like, okay? Old people
hobbies are ranked as follows. Having unprotected sex, voting. That's it. That's all old people
do. That's all old motherfuckers love to do. They fuck without protection and they vote.
They love it.
They don't even care about voting for something.
Voting for a better future?
No, thank you.
I won't see that future.
I'm going to die soon.
Is that a better future as in I will be able to vote more?
Because if that's the case, I'm going to do it.
Drops I did this man so dirty. I feel bad for him. He's just a guy trying to land the plan that was his life
I'm sure he would have impressed any of us in his day. I
Mean, yeah, okay. Don't make me feel sad about this. Okay
He's doing what he loves best which is voting he's doing what he loves best
this is this is the thing that he's living for you know big G where's the
tie from it's fire dude thank you thank you for the tie notice I just got it
today it's a vintage Polarov Lauren tie and thank you so much for for saying it's
a nice tie I really like it and I was very excited to wear it and then some
chatters in the morning were very mean to me and they were like,
you know, your tie sucks. Someone said my tie looks like a
giraffe.
You're so autistic about the tie. This is my new hyper fixation.
For the record, this is the new thing. This is the new meta for
me is fucking suits and ties and suiting. You know, I've become
I've become like a Derek guy, you know
The tie doesn't even fit the suit yes, it does shut up
I'm gonna suit yeah
I'm gonna boot if you're if you're old man you say I'm gonna boot if you're me if you're his son pygory say I'm gonna suit
I'm gonna suit
Huh
You're copying Zoran's tie, don't think you're slick.
Zoran has never had a swaggy tie like this.
He's never.
He wouldn't know what a swaggy tie like this looks like if it hit him in the face.
Zarmamdadi would condemn this tie if the New York Post demanded it.
Okay, he would go, oh my God, I'm so sorry I wore this tie.
Oh, I didn't realize that this would be offensive to the feelings of people who love the state of Israel.
I, I condemn this tie.
That's what he would do.
Okay, he would say, oh, I condemn you tie.
They'd accuse him of anti-Semitism.
Yeah, well, he breeds.
We're hearing out a fit is touch putting on a suit is much easier nobody ever took me
seriously until I put on the mask chatter and by that I mean the suit if in case people
haven't been following in recent days well we don't know if everyone's been following
Senator. In recent days, The New York Times published a story. Some women went on record
raising questions about Mr. Platner, his character, his conduct, his interactions with them over
the years. Graham Platner is continuing to run for the U.S. Senate in Maine. Senator,
do you stand with Graham Platner? And how do you view this, especially those-
Yeah, why won't he drop out, man?
That would make us feel really good.
Can you drop out, please?
That's basically the meta at this point.
Like, they're just like, hey, we tried everything else,
but we haven't tried this one yet.
Would you like to drop out?
Who might have questions in Maine of good faith,
people who read things online,
read things in the newspaper and wonder
where a major support of his lands on this issue
all of this controversy. I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that
Graham Plattner is the next senator from the state of Maine.
I think what you did not mention...
Excuse me, sir. Can we get security, please?
How are they still doing this to Bernie? He's 80. He's 800 years old. You got to stop doing this to Bernie
What like do with the someone else man, why is it always Bernie that they do this to it's so funny
Like
There are hundreds of other congresspersons that are way more worthy of your ire
What is it about? I can't even hear him. What's he saying? What's the what's he yelling about?
Excuse me. Israel doesn't need the offensive systems.
Oh my God, that's the Israel stuff. Okay. Well, even if your criticism is valid, I think, you know,
Is Bernie even for defensive weapons for Israel still?
Yeah, I mean he's right is he the the person yelling is is not on the wrong side of this argument
But but yes, he is no isn't easy
Yeah, but why in this situation is counterproductive?
Sir, thank you. Thank you. Okay. Okay, let's continue. Senator, we're going to get to this
question after we discuss. Yes, that's all. Stay cool. Senator Sanders, you were just
waiting a moment. Sorry about this disruption. Senator Sanders, do you stand with Graham
Plattener and we'd love to hear your views on this race. The primaries tomorrow
What you did not mention when you talked about Graham is that Republican super PACs have already lined up
Some 99 million dollars just on TV damn Medea. Medea could Bernie. This is this is I
mean look
You hate to see you hate to see two legends
Duke it out like this
Okay
Really burning two people just spoke out about us for for Israel during center Sanders talk of the press club instead of saying
I understand get your your passion and we will get that issue soon Bernie said get out of here
Okay, to be fair. That's not what they said
but but yes
That would have been a nicer response for sure
A more apt response I
Have to I have to support my day unconditionally and uncompromisingly
He will never address it. Yeah, it's just one of those things. It's an oomph civil war.
Look, the reality of the matter is Bernie Sanders is simultaneously, at least for the time being, the most anti-Israel senator, ironically enough.
and yet he falls short of what is necessary on the conversation by a
wide margin. I said senator by the way, not congressperson broadly, because he's
not the most anti-Israel congressperson, but he is the most anti-Israel senator.
Now the irony is that he's also literally working to elect far more
anti-Israel voices into Congress, anti-Israel voices that are far more anti-Israel than
Bernie is, with both Abdel El Sayed and ironically enough, Graham fucking Platner.
So like, weirdly enough, this is the calculation on my mind where with Bernie, his own person
Personal opinions on the matter are very clearly, very clearly, insanely biased, okay?
It's true.
It's true.
And the saddest part about this analysis is that the hang-up comes from, I hate to say it,
because I really do have a lot of respect for Bernie Sanders, but racism.
It's a little, you know, that's what it is.
But clearly, but clearly,
his brother's analysis, his brother, yes, his brother is awesome, his brother's anti-zionist.
So,
Unfortunately, unfortunately, he's also 86 years old, you know.
There's just no, there's no getting to him on this issue.
Okay?
It's just not.
And if he was an impediment to much more radical voices getting elected, if he was standing
in the way, then my calculation would be far different about Bernie Sanders.
But he's not.
Bernie has literally stood by me on numerous occasions and defended me on numerous occasions.
It's tough for me to look at that and be like, well, fuck this guy, you know?
Because I think a lot of people don't understand like he has all of the platform and he has
all of the influence in that situation and what he does with that influence matters.
Okay?
So as long as his own personal shortcomings on this issue don't get in the way of organizing
and advocating for much more radical voices on this exact same issue
then it seems
incredibly silly for me to sit around and be like yeah fuck this guy
you know
her knees the family more than some i your iro friends true
And I'm certain that he doesn't, I mean, we are not in agreement, right?
Like, on, on, uh, Palestinian resistance, Lebanese resistance, Bernie's no Corbyn.
I will tell you that much, right?
And he certainly knows Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
Bernie's not even over Kossif and over Kossif is literally
the Israeli Knesset. Having said all of that, Bernie also doesn't let his own personal bias
in this issue get in the way of further organizing, get in the way of advocacy for anti-Zionist
to be elected. Defending you behind the scenes or defending you in the media? No, defending
me in the media. He's done the same thing he's doing with Grand
Planner. He's like, I don't care. I don't care. I support him.
You know,
Bernie also is doing something that I think a lot of people,
especially in his position, never do. Right. Which is,
Um, he recognizes that, you know, he's not gonna run again, right? He recognizes his age and he is actively trying to build a movement
rather than just
Taking his toys and going home. I
Know some will say oh dude, what the fuck? Oh, it's the bare minimum, but honestly
The bar is that low for many people in politics
So I have to I have to give him credit where credit is due
the
other way manager is a general and I know my go
my goat
Not to downplay Bernie, but I also defended you, thank you chatter.
Sometimes we'd rather see Republicans hold the Senate and keep us at war than accept
grand planners ever to redeem themselves and do the right thing.
This is because a lot of people see war as this political game where civilian lives are
like negligible human being shrugged off.
I can't tell who's more unkish, Bernie or Assan.
I mean, are you crazy?
It's definitely me.
So yeah.
And it's always, it'll never not be funny to me that so many people that are where they're
at ideologically, literally because of Bernie's insurgent candidacy, who have understandably
read more since then, and have evolved in their worldview, now turn around and are like,
you're fucking piece of shit, I hate you, it's crazy.
I mean, if he was able to do that to you, if he was able to do that for you, and start
ideological journey, instead of fucking yelling at him, you know, go be that person for others.
You know, adjusted to the modern setting, a much more modern setting where people are far more
receptive to socialist theory. That's what's so ironic about this predicament is that I would go
go so far I say the overwhelming majority of Bernie haters became Bernie
haters because of Bernie. Straight up. Without Bernie running in 2016, there's
not a lot of Bernie hate. I'll tell you that much. There's not a lot of people
outflanking Bernie from the left.
I don't know.
People are always confused because I'll straight up say like,
I think liberal Zionism is born out of racism.
But then they don't hear the second part where I say,
you got to work with races.
We live in a racist country.
There's going to be shortcomings.
People get so mad at me.
They're like, how dare you?
Non-Muslims.
get mad at me because I say look I've been on the receiving end of Islamophobia
quite a bit. However I understand that this hang-up exists so I have to work
within the system and try to get people to not feel this way and I've seen
tremendous success in getting people to not feel this way you know always funny
to me when you know it's a fucking Cypriot Greek Australian man living in
Argentina being like you don't value the lives of Muslims like I do like okay man
You know, think about Ihan Omar and Rashida Tlaibin and the way they look at Bernie.
Certain that their calculation is not different than mine, even if we have our disagreements
like when Bernie was trying to actively work with Joe Biden amidst the genocide of the
Palestinians.
Yes, to defeat him. Why is that? I think they're worried about his views or what
his relationship to women has been. I don't think so. What they are worried
about is that he is going to be a strong voice against Al-Aqaqi. This is a guy,
and I don't want to spend a great lot of time on this. I think, as most
people know, he served four tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, as a Marine
and then in the army. And what I do know is he saw some very horrible things and participated
in some very horrible things that one wishes human beings do not have to go through. And
what he has to say is,
Getting rich guys to like it is your kryptonite. What do you mean? We will see. I'm concerned
that he will go along with Israel paying their own shit, but then not police Israel's genocides.
Buddy, you don't have to worry. My point is you don't have to really worry about Bernie
Sanders doing that, especially because there's plenty of other people in Congress that are
doing it and then some and he is far more he's far closer to the anti-sinist position than
he's far closer to the average anti-sinist positions than like the overwhelming majority
if not the damn near entirety of congress and not only that or are you talking about grand
platner or are you talking about bernie and not only that but also he's not going to be in congress
for much longer, right? Bernie isn't. And he recognizes that. And not only does he recognize
that, but he wants to literally fucking use his existing prominence, his existing credibility,
and his existing popularity to get as many people that are far more radical than he is
elected right now. I don't think there's a single person. I can't think of anyone else that is
engaging in that kind of act. Instead of legacy building or doing anything like that, he's literally
working to build a movement. So, yeah, it's not easy for me to overlook Bernie's inconsistency
on the issue of Israel as someone who has, you know, promoted the humanity of people
over and over again. But he's not an impediment to building a broader anti-Zionist movement
at all. So, from that perspective, you know, I have respect for him still, regardless of
the fact that, you know, Zionism is a racist ideology.
He said he came back home with serious problems.
He talks about the VA care that he got in the VA for PTSD, which went a long way to
giving him the strength that he has right now.
He is now married to a very, I've met her several times, very nice young woman, Amy,
and has gotten his life together.
So to my mind, I don't know what is true or not true.
He denies it.
She says something else.
But what I do know is that there are people in the United States Senate, right now.
Do you think he needs to hold this position is not Bernie Sanders as the most prominent Jewish politician in this country could have greatly accelerated the conversation on
Israel's
Israel's war crimes Israel's genocide if he just came out of the gate swing and it was like this happened because of Israel's actions
It's apartheid
Israel's doing a genocide on October 8
Okay
Are you kidding me?
He was the most influential and the most powerful figure in American politics for this issue
Okay, straight up. I mean remember I had this conversation with Noah
A while back
And he didn't do it
And even to this day, he's like he will say he reluctantly admits that what happened in Gaza is a genocide, you know, and that's crazy
it's like
Like he has he recognizes his own personal bias in this issue is what I mean
No, it's just so shocking because
He was I think the most prominent politician to condition aid to Israel in fucking 2016
But that was not even a fucking point of contention guys when he was saying that shit it was not even
It was it was unheard of
There's a reason why so many, you know, propousing advocates love Bernie Sanders for the longest
time and many of them still have respect for him, regardless of his shortcomings on this
issue.
Who are not saints.
I can tell you that.
There are people who have voted for tax breaks for billionaires and through 15 million people
offer the healthcare that they have, which resulted tens of thousands of Americans dying.
There are people who voted for the war in Iraq, which was based on a lie.
There are people who voted to support the president in this terrible war in Iran right
now.
So I think when you look at politics in general, they're all...
Yeah.
Yeah.
While Bernie Sanders was saying, we need to conditionate the Israel at the same time
frame, they said Obama was a Jew hater for saying settlements were bad, okay?
give you insight into what things used to look like for anti-Zionists. Every time I bring
this up, people get so mad at me. It's just true. And I think you just don't know. You
don't remember.
On those saints, in the United States Senate, people can argue about this aspect of Graeme
or another, but to my mind right now, we need allies in the United States Senate who have
We have the guts to take on the big money that is dominating this country.
We have the guts to say that every American is entitled to health care as a human right.
We have the guts to say that maybe we don't give tax breaks to billionaires,
but demand that they start paying their fair share of taxes.
People who have the guts, and in his case, from a very personal experience.
Yeah, here's what he said about Israel, apparently.
Most people in this room know.
I led the effort in the United States Senate and U.S. military aid to Israel.
And I think what happened in Gaza is, in fact, and I say this reluctantly, is genocide,
the suffering of the Palestinian people exist today.
In fact, the newspapers aren't, that doesn't mean it's going to people living in 10 cities.
The healthcare situation is a disaster.
There are no toilets in many parts of the area. It's really quite horrible and unacceptable.
The United States should not be funding the Israeli military. And now, by the way, in
case some of you don't know, there's a defense bill that is coming up which has the U.S.
in cooperation with the Israeli government in terms of the development of new weapons.
And that is a provision which I will very...
The only thing is, Bernie was better on Israel in 2021 than he is now.
I don't know if October 7th broke his brain. Yes.
Yes.
Because all the way up until 2021, you can make the argument that Palestinians were perfect victims.
victims, post October 7, Palestinians were no longer perfect victims.
And I think a lot of Americans, especially if they have any kind of connection to the
state of Israel, and Bernie certainly does, passed that point, they found it to be indefensible.
And there was a distinction.
So even now, there are still like, you know, people with Zionist opinions, people with
like pro-Israel tendencies, opinions that will even go so far as to Israel's doing a genocide,
but they still don't think anyone should fight back.
And that the people that are fighting back are, you know, kind of deserving of this kind
of militancy, this kind of violence.
That's the major distinction.
That's why I think a lot of people get super mad when I talk about the Hamas-Israel thing.
I say like Hamas is a thousand times better than Israel. That's that's what people get fucking mad about
You know what I mean
Yeah, Bernie was better on on
Israel pre-October 7 the thing is he was still bad though
I mean, he would still be asked questions and stuff and he would answer like poorly
Anyway, I like my point is it's
We're gonna have disagreements with people. This is one of them
Time to get off stream King. Wait, I thought we were leaving it in half an hour
Are we leaving now
I
Have to see
Isn't interesting I left this like jeng in a song
I could get banned from the UK as well as Muslim speakers like shadi al-Mazari because they criticize them
but will hobbies like Farid are free to go to UK tours
and spread sectarianism?
I don't know who this guy is.
Obviously, if you college at Cambridge today
and the Emissary Law and Felt sufficient
to inspire students to excel in both mastering
and fielding and contributing to it.
I don't know who this guy is
You should catch talk on shirk is the deadliest and unless it's the UAE building Hindu temples in which case you should never talk about it
I will stream the next
We're not doing the next chatter work
We're in Boston and that nationally, um, I had the bug though when I was a kid.
I had no idea I was going to do this.
Uh, but my dad told us to pay attention, stay informed, read the
newspaper, watch the news, um, care about your community.
So that's what started when I was somewhere down here.
I love John King so much.
He's so did this live and unedited magic while John King bits are so funny to
me because you see a man who's like, not trying to fucking continue doing this.
And yet they just fucking pop they just post his ass up there
They just post his ass up there and he's just like yeah, I don't know how to fill time
But this is what the youngster demand. I really appreciate the question. Thank you, and I appreciate the compliment very very much
South Carolina
Republican gubernatorial primary we're up to 17% now. This is a pamphlet. She's the lieutenant governor again
She has Trump's endorsement. This is Alan Wilson. He's the state attorney general in South Carolina
Carolina. Two conservatives atop the race right now. Business man, Ron Reddy, you see
him in third place there right now at 17%. He essentially trying to test the national
mood. We've seen this in a lot of races, trying to be the non-politician. We see a lot of evidence
in many parts of the country. People are just tired of politicians. That's part of the
Platinum dynamic up in Maine.
There's a more critical stream than you are.
That's what brought us to Donald Trump, right? People looking outside the box.
Nancy Macy's in fifth place?
Oh my God.
You can pick your word with the political system.
So but right now you have to establish politicians on top of the field in the South Carolina
governor's race at 17 percent can just want to bring up many of you probably heard of
Nancy Mace.
She was the first woman female to go to the Citadel military Academy in South Carolina
a trailblazer in that regard.
Member of Congress now once worked actually for Donald Trump's campaign back in 2016
but she and the president have been at odds in recent months over a number of things including
uh... she is one of the people pushing
but she was one of the people pushing
to get the fc files released in one of the people who says the trump
administration including the attorney general former attorney general
the current justice department
have been dragging their feet
uh... so president trump clearly hoping
that that's you may stay set the bottom of the pack
in this race in south carolina
four minutes to go into her career and i'll do this trump
guys it there's no reason to even look at the fucking republican primaries like
it's whatever trump says goes
they are literally so
so incredibly invested in trump it's crazy but it's seventeen percent
at the moment at the moment lindsay graham
uh... way above fifty uh... and
he would like to stay there would be embarrassing
if a republican incumbent senator who has the endorsement of the president of the states
who spent several million dollars
that in recent weeks to hold this off.
That would be downright embarrassing.
Still make Lindsey Graham probably the favorite
in the runoff, probably the favorite in November
because it's South Carolina, a very red state.
But we will see how this one plays out,
61% and 17% as we go.
I'm just gonna go just before I go on a television.
I'm just gonna come up to Maine here and take a look
because the polls have closed.
Susan Collins, the Republican incumbent,
she has already, she's in her fifth term.
She's asking for a sixth term.
She's been in that this is her 30th year
in the United States Senate,
a post in the Republican primary. Let's just look and see what we've got so far and we have nothing
in the Democratic primary. So obviously we're waiting to see results here as we go forward.
If you've been with us in past weeks, I'm going to start to put this earpiece in now because I'm
going to be on television in just a couple of seconds. I'm watching the TV if I'm seen distracted.
Watching the TV camera over here. I'm going to keep this about halfway here as we go through this.
Just as we wait, just want to come back out to the map here.
These are not all tonight.
This is just to give you a sense.
All these states that are filled in, right,
all these states that are filled in have already
had their primaries.
And so we're getting there.
Primaries run actually until September.
Imagine that.
You have a primary in September, Massachusetts does that.
You have a primary in September, then
you have to gear up for the general election in November.
So most try to get them out of the way in May, June, et cetera.
But we're about halfway through the primary season
as we do it and go through it.
Just going to check one more time here.
Just want to come to Senate Republican
just to see if we're getting any higher there.
18% and that one's holding Governor Republican 18%.
This is a close race right now.
Again, we're only at 18%, put this down for a second.
We're only at 18%, so we'll see if it changes.
But again, this is Donald Trump's favorite candidate,
the Lieutenant Governor, Pam O'Vette.
The State Attorney General, Ellen Wilson, two points behind at the moment.
If it stays that way, stays that way. Number one, you'll have a runoff.
Number two, there'll be some questions in South Carolina about the power of the Trump endorsement.
That has been a question two weeks ago. That was not a question.
Bill Cassidy in Louisiana, Thomas Massey in Kentucky, and so on and so forth.
Five state legislators in Indiana.
But Randy Feinster, the governor, the president's preferred candidate in Iowa, lost the gubernatorial primary.
primary. The president said he was for Spencer Pratt in the Los Angeles
Bay of Race. I'm not gonna make as big a deal of that as some people are, but
the president did say he was for him and he didn't make the final. Gonna put my
earpiece in now as we prepare to go on Anderson Cooper 360. We're gonna
that's we're gonna start there. All that science is on television right now for
any of you have two devices. She's up at Grand Platinum's headquarters up in
Maine. And so now we're going to South Carolina again if you have two devices
Diane Gallagher is one of our correspondents. She's based in North Carolina, but at the moment she's in Fort Mill South Carolina right there
She's talking about how important the governor's race is. Of course the governor's race would be important in your state too, right?
We thought this was a lot of Congress and San Diego and Washington, but one of the big questions is the big question is whether the Democrats take the House.
Which party will control Congress after these terms?
And the Democrats take both chambers? Or even just one to put the brakes on?
a beer style
What's good? Hello. How are you guys doing? We've been enjoying New York. Let's get there
Yeah, let's get the Tim's on let's get outside. Come on. Let's go we outside. We're oh look at you wearing a fucking
Blazer and everything. Let's go
Let's go. This is this is the wave, dude
Will Espan went live on your stream. Yeah, I saw that I'm okay with it because mad people
started subbing. It's so chat to be like something's wrong. Let me throw some money
at it. So hell yeah. I'm okay with it.
Hi everybody. All right. Well, it's South Carolina. Nancy
Mays eating shit. Graham Plattner and Plattner Mentham is, is happening. But I mean, none
of this is like unexpected. There's nothing like that interesting happening today in any
of the primaries. Anyway, everybody, that'll be all for today. I got to end the broadcast
here because I got to do, I had to do a podcast and, you know, shut ass, loser stuff, so Steyer bros is over. Steyer bros is
Joe over. I'm down to stand. We're here.
What? Yeah. Oh my God, I did. Everyone is mad about that. They're like, we are not taking money for a billion. It's like,
No one's giving us money. Okay, calm down. Like that's not happening. Anyway, love you guys and I'll see you tomorrow. Okay. All right. Peace everybody. Bye. Bye
