Why would you align yourself for a raging anti-Semite type who has defended Hamas terrorists?
Calling them the lesser of two is Israel's compared to the governor's evil's
comparison. Lesser of two that's what I find a bridge too far. When I went up to my good friend
chat and say, hey, you're walking through some more controversial statements of a son
piker even chat, he'd be feeling out of his way to soften the ages of the son and give
me context. Thanks, but no thanks.
Chats should be taken.
The son piker is campaign poison.
Placing yourself on the wrong side of a 19 issue is only going to make you look bad.
It's going to be good for me.
It's going to be good for the candidates that I work with.
Turns out it was true.

and we got a lot going on here you can see I got the New York tie on me
freaking New York tie on me. It's called Panda. Okay. It's called Panda Express. Okay. I got,
this is a vintage tie. This is another one of the vintage ties that I got. It's literally,
I think it's, it's like, what's the brand? It's not even like a real brand. It's just
Johnny Carson. It's a Johnny Carson brand, which I don't even think it's like a real brand. I think
I think it might literally be Johnny Carson's tie or something.
I, because I looked it up, I tried to Google it, I was like,
what the fuck does it say Johnny Carson?
And I have no idea, but it's dope.
It's a sick tie.
It's Panda Express time up in this bitch.
I got the New York logo, the Yankees logo.
But, yeah, he made it with his own two hands.
Yeah, you ended early last night.
I thought it was the fourth game and you made me look stupid
in front of my coworkers when I asked about the game,
Hassan Abi, apologize.
First of all, I didn't even end it early for no reason.
I ended it early for the podcast.
Okay, so that's kind of on you for not listening
because I openly said we have to end it early
because the podcast is what we're shooting.
I mean, remember when Will came in here, Caroline did,
March did, tonight.
Tonight is a different story.
Tonight we're gonna have to end it early as well.
Quite quitting you already know what it is the funniest way to keep track of sports
Yeah
Nice we're gonna tie clip collection. I have other tight clips. I just really love this one because it's the Japanese Communist Party tie clip
So I wear it all the time
Not even trying anymore short streams and no gaming. I know I know you already know what it is ladies and gentlemen
This is part of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal news. We're we're coming to you live
It's it is Wednesday, June 10th, 2026
Coming to you live from
Stolen land here in New York City, New York, Manhattan
You already know what's up. You already know what's going on disgusting Yankees tie shaking my head. It's called pandering
Okay, we're in mom Dan is Stan. I
Think the tie would be better if it didn't have the New York logo on it, but I don't really care. I really love the tie
So
In any case folks, we are live. We are alive and I hope everyone's having a fantastic one
This is the part of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal news
But as a shut-ass loser you already know, I don't have any real personal news except I'm kind of lying
I'm lying. Of course. I'm in New York City
Obviously, there's a lot going on and in the world of a son-house on Ivy Piker in between the time period where I press the
Stop streaming button and press the start streaming button. So
You know, I'll tell you all about it
So first and foremost, end of the broadcast last night, another half day,
Hossie, uh, totally ridiculous.
I know, I know, I've basically begun the process of quiet quitting.
Okay.
I might as well not even go live at this point.
I mean, what are you doing?
Six hours.
What the hell is that about?
Six hours, totally ridiculous.
Um, but of course our job doesn't end there.
we traveled to a podcast studio that you will probably recognize because it was
the podcast studio where I did the I've had it podcast before where I answered
the question on whether or not I would actually vote for Gavin Newsom over JD
Vance and I said neither and you know that kick started a lot of enmity from
the centrist Democrats who have never really stopped coming after me but we
We were back in that podcast studio to do the fear and podcast, Austin show will neff
myself and we were accompanied by John Marco.
Okay.
So it's not a six hour slacker situation.
I, as a matter of fact, was, uh, you know, doing another podcast until basically 12,
12am, New York time after which came back to my hotel, passed out because I was very
retired, and woke up early, shot an episode of iHIP News, okay, with Ms. Welch, Jennifer Welch,
friend of the show. You guys may have heard of her. And after that, I did a photo shoot for a
article magazine thing. And then, and now I'm here pretty much, just a bunch of phone calls,
had to have to do some different arrangements, schedule some things and
here we are. So yeah, in New York and haven't done Sam or Emma show yet, yes
unfortunately I have not done majority report while I've been out here and the
reason why is because...
Wait what is this? The Johnny Carson menswear line was massively popular mass
Market Appeal brand, launched in the fall of 1970, manufactured by M. Weil & Co. It
brought the Tonight Show host, tailored, unpretentious, on-screen style, directly to the American
Department stores. Okay, so it is a brand. I couldn't find anything about it. I googled
it, but I couldn't find anything about it. I do love the tie. The New York Yankees logo
is not the best thing to have on the tie, but you know, other than that, I need you a blast
off, TMR or riot. Yeah, I have a bunch of other things that I'm doing, unfortunately,
so I don't know if I'll be able to do any majority report while I'm out here, but I'm
literally out here so much. I'm out here so frequently that it's basically not even a thing,
you know what I mean? We'll see, we'll see. Let me ask, uh, hold on.
You know what maybe I'll do the majority report if I can squeeze it in we'll see
In any case ladies and gentlemen boys girls and MBs were live we're alive you already know what's up. I'm a chud-ass loser
I got nothing going on. I'm a chud. I'm a loser. I got nothing going on your new home
You're a New Yorker now. I know people are
You know, it's it's all the rage right now everyone keeps saying house in Abbey
Are you getting a second house? You love buying houses. Are you gonna buy one in New York and I don't know
In any case box posted a short I know people are gonna get so mad at this interview
But this is just the last part
This is just to promote the the actual interview the actual interview is interesting
I wonder when it's gonna come out and I wonder what the final product is gonna look like because they actually
interviewed the third-way guys before me and then they put me up against the
third-way guys, right? In any case, in any case, folks, folks, folks, let's blast
off and let's get it twisted. Moven was on and Gracie mentioned, sure. Yeah, that's
how it works. That's that, yeah, definitely.
I'm sure no one would yell at him for harboring a terrorist.
All right.
All right.
New York City Platinum wins.
Iran, Amer Israel war continues.
U.S. to hit Iran hard again today.
Oil prices rise.
Trump says he doesn't care about inflation.
He says he loves inflation as a matter of fact, which is weird.
to say by Donald Trump. Trump vows retaliation, Epstein's fury, day 103, next game four later,
and more. Obviously, Grant Platner secured the easiest W of all time. It wasn't easy in the
beginning for the record. I mean, defeating the establishment wing of the party is always an
impressive feat, and it's always an uphill battle. It's always a difficult battle.
Having said that, however, it was proven once again that blue sky liberalism perhaps is
ineffective and Twitter is not real life, blue sky is not real life and as long as you
organize the yappers on the internet and the entire centrist wing of the Democratic Party
in the entire right wing. You can get the goods. Yes, I saw Brad Landers, silly, silly
take, silly, silly take. I don't like it, especially because, I mean, why are you talking
to Jewish insider? The fuck? Come on, man, that's oppositional media. The fuck are you
you're supposed to be a progressive like that's crazy. That's like, um, anyway, whatever. I don't
want to make a bigger deal out of it, but Galaxy brain woke Trump masterfully breaks down Western
ideological barriers between Judeo Christianity and Islam. Once again, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're
We're going to do the Praise be to Allah tweet from Trump.
He's doing coded language, whenever he says Praise be to Allah, that means like he really,
really desperately wants Iran to come to the table to do a ceasefire.
And he's threatening to do the ultimate.
He's threatening to do the ultimate explosive, the ultimate explosion.
That's what, that's usually what this means.
What is this peak shit?
peak.
Uh,
Yo, Ty looks sick dog. Thank you.
I
Jesus Christ, bro, we get it. We fucking get it man. Someone's dying. Okay
We got it. We got it chill out. I don't know if you guys can hear it or not from the noise gate
The best shit is crazy
Anyway, have you covered about a fast Roy? It's no or I have not covered about a fast rides
This wasn't available on YouTube. Yeah, we'll do it. Okay. I briefly touched on it yesterday, but
anyway, that's louder than LA. Yeah, I mean, that's life in the big city. Okay, folks,
folks, you just got to get used to it. All right. You just got to get used to it. It's one of those
things. Anyway, New York City Platinum wins. Um, did you see BB and add on KOB beefing?
Are you less sleepy today? I feel like I'm less sleepy, but who knows?
Um, by Chris. Yeah, Platinum did kind of cook Mika. I know. Um, what Donald Trump is doing
And now with Graham Plattner is actually exactly what Graham Plattner wants, a comparison between
Donald Trump and Graham Plattner, which is unbelievably favorable to Graham Plattner.
We'll do the out of the on stuff as well, obviously, they're getting too big for their
bridges.
But let's get started with the Vox or the first Vox piece that came out.
It's just a short piece.
These presidential options for the Democratic Party in 2028, one is AOC, the second is Rokana,
The third is John Ossoff, the fourth is Gavin Newsom, and the fifth is Kamala Harris.
You basically ranked them in the way that I would, but I would flip Kamala Harris and
Gavin Newsom, I guess.
Interesting.
So you're saying you're ranking number one AOC, number two Conn of three Ossoff, four
Harris, five Newsom.
Why is Harris over Newsom?
I think Kamala Harris is a little bit more malleable than Gavin Newsom.
I mean, Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris are very similar to one another in their politics
and their political expression.
I just trust Gavin Newsom even less than I do Kamala Harris.
And why is John Ossoff above those two?
I think John Ossoff presents a unique vision.
He's a very good communicator.
He's very charismatic.
He's young.
He's also, unfortunately, one of the more conservative
Democrats in the country.
But I have this totally unfounded suspicion
that he's a lot more progressive than he lets on.
And he's just simply playing that role to, I guess,
quote unquote, win in Georgia.
I don't even think he has to be that moderate to win in Georgia
or to maintain his position in Georgia
and I wish he wouldn't be, but that's my suspicion.
Is AOC your preferred 20-28 candidate overall?
Yes, I would say that I prefer AOC over everybody else,
although I do really like RoConn too.
That's not my...
Bro, writing fanfic.
You want a better mood today, bro? Yeah. Okay, guys? Guys? You have to understand something?
It's all not great. Okay. It's just those are the options given to me. So I ranked them.
So calm down. Anyway. In any case, in any case, in any case, in any case, you're gonna
will this also shit in the existence? No, I'm not manifesting John Ossoff. Trump wants
peace for the world for his birthday. The thing that is very much in his power. Yeah.
Who's the left-wheel candidate that's not on the list?
Sean Fain, my number one spot.
Sean Fain.
That would be my number one pick over everybody else.
Straight up.
Anyway, anyway, anyway.
Left ear, then now.
Chatters in 2016.
He seemed to be like Bernie's a fascist.
I'm not voting in the primary.
Yeah.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
When we get to Platinum, his first general ad,
Mad leaning hard into the anti FC class line mentioning both Dems and Republicans. Yeah
Donald Trump was asked
How he what he would like for his birthday, which is so crazy
We're like talking about the president like he's a little baby, but I guess it's because he is a little baby
He is a little baby. So
That's why a little baby needs to be treated like a little baby. Anyway, let's hear what he had to say
Why isn't he just mediocre? Why not an actual politician like Summer Lee or even Chris Rabb?
Neither of which have ever expressed any interest in higher office like that.
They're also not like national politicians. They're not nationally known politicians in the same way as some of these other people are.
Peace for the world, okay? Peace for the world.
Well, I'll go with that bigger piece of the world piece for the world Middle East. Yes. Peace for the whole world. Yeah
Literally the one guy on the planet that could make that wish of reality and
And chooses not to you know fantastic. Thank you, mr. President
Thank you for simply wishing for your birthday peace for the world
But then also not doing it, you know
It's literally in his power
There's like
There's not a lot of people on this planet that can wish for something like that and actually have the the capacity to follow through
Donald Trump is the one guy who could do it. Yeah, I want peace in the world
That's why we're bombing disalienation plants in Iran right now. Very cool 20,000 people's water has just
been taken away from them. They're now starving, they're thirsty, and it's beautiful, and that's why I want peace in the fucking world.
Anyway,
incredible stuff from Donald Trump. Obviously, completely oblivious to his own
own power.
Yeah, let's uh, we got Brad Lander. We'll talk about that in a second.
And obviously, there's a really funny Wall Street Journal article that I brought up on
IHIP News this morning, but we got to talk about it.
Smartphones, EVs and brick oven pizza, North Korea is the world's most unlikely economic
growth story.
And yeah, but let's get started on US launching strikes on Iran, on Iran, after downing of
of Apache helicopter, the impact, what this means
for the future of this conflict, where we're at anymore.
Let's get started.
New attacks in the ceasefire with Iran.
American forces are targets this morning
after the US retaliated for an Apache chopper
that Iran shot down.
Iran released this video claiming it launched missiles
toward US allies in the region.
Charlie Dagger is in Tel Aviv.
Charlie, good morning.
None of this sounds like we are getting closer to peace
like we have been hearing.
Right, not at all.
Iran went on the attack today,
launching strikes toward US bases and facilities
in Kuwait, Bahrain, even neighboring Jordan.
And we're also learning a little bit more about that drone
used to rescue the Apache helicopters, pilots.
US Navy officials say an unmanned Navy Corsair drone
like this raced to the rescue
the stricken Apache helicopter crew before the Iranians could reach them in a first for
the U.S. military.
The soldiers were transported from hostile waters to a safer place before being hoisted
up by helicopter.
In another first, we've learned the helicopter was downed by an Iranian exploding drone, an
unprecedented strike on an advanced U.S. aircraft.
In retaliation, U.S. officials tell CBS News that U.S. Navy and Air Force fighter jets
launched widespread air strikes against Iranian targets along the Strait of Hormuz, including
air defenses, ground control stations, and surveillance radar sites.
U.S. Central Command sent out a statement that its forces completed self-defense strikes,
suggesting the proportional U.S. military response is over, at least for now.
Tehran, in turn, launched its own retaliatory strikes, sending a salvo of ballistic missiles
towards U.S. facilities across the region.
Jordan alone reported shooting down five missiles aimed at an airbase hosting American forces.
Tehran's foreign minister Abbas Arabchi, warning on social media, quote,
Despite its defeats on the battlefield, the U.S. opted to test our determination.
leave our region if you want to be safe.
Alright Charlie, just hours before these strikes happened, Vice President JD Vance and his
wife sat down with Robert Costa for a CBS Sunday morning interview.
Now the Vice President insisted a deal with Iran is still close.
We want to play a bit of that and get your take on it.
Let's listen.
Right now I feel that we are in a position to get a deal that is good for the United
States economically, and that really does deal with the Iranian nuclear program, not
just now, not just while Donald Trump is president, but for the long term, to where my kids can
say when they're adults, Iran is not going to have a nuclear weapon.
That's the goal of the policy, and I think we're very close to achieving that goal.
But we still got some wood to chop, and we keep doing it.
You say very close.
How soon could the deal happen before the midterm elections?
Oh, absolutely.
No, I think we're going to know a lot before the midterm elections.
Look, I think that the deal could happen in the next week, but the deal could also happen
months from now.
Are the Iranians stringing President Trump along in your view?
No, I don't think so.
Again, I think their system takes a long time to reach consensus.
I always superwask me, do you trust the Iranians?
And what the president has said is, I don't trust anybody.
I don't trust anybody.
What I do trust is my own ability to negotiate.
I trust our administration's ability to negotiate.
could be in the next couple of days, could be in the next couple of weeks, it could be
in a month.
Charlie, it seems that there's a disconnect between what the administration is saying
about those talks and what's actually happening on the ground.
What do you make of this?
Yeah, Vlad, clearly there's a disconnect.
None of this can help.
We're talking about a downed helicopter, multiple U.S. airstrikes and the kind of Iranian ballistic
missile mirage.
We haven't seen this since the supposed ceasefire went into effect, but it also speaks to the
complexity of what's going on here.
side has said that these talks are over. However, if we saw US troops killed in
any one of those attacks overnight, we would be having a much different
conversation. All right Charlie Daggett reported from Tel Aviv. Thank you
Charlie. And you can see more of Robert Costa's conversation with Vice
President Vance this weekend on CBS Sunday morning. Iran says it launched
strikes on US assets in the Middle East, including an American base in Jordan.
This follows U.S. retaliation.
Oh, I mean, look.
Here is here is the situation.
Here is the situation.
OK.
The United States, Israel and Iran are in conflict.
Israel doesn't want there to be a ceasefire.
Israel doesn't want there to be any sort of negotiation.
and Israel is going to do whatever it can to disrupt that process.
America obviously is more in favor of a managed negotiation, a memorandum of understanding,
that could be implemented.
But, having said that, obviously America still is invested in following along with whatever the fuck Israel wants to do.
Israel strikes Tire, or Israel strikes Beirut. Iran tries to enforce a red line by striking Israel directly.
Then Donald Trump has to step in and tell Israel to back down. But of course Israel says no. Israel violates the Trump red line, the established red line, and strikes Iran again.
And this time when Israel strikes Iran, they hit a petroleum facility, right? An oil refinery.
Now, in retaliation, Iran has to go tit for tat.
But aside from hitting, I guess, the ports of Haifa, there's not really much you can
do to disrupt the Israeli energy production.
So you can either try to strike at Israeli refineries, again, in the ports of Haifa,
Or in order to universalize the damage, you can go back and start striking the Gulf.
But if you're Iran, you probably have bilateral commitments at this point.
It seems to me like you have at least established some kind of talks with some of the Gulf nations,
Qatar being one of them, and possibly even Saudi Arabia, obviously Oman is seen as a
neutral party in this process.
So that limits who you can actually strike.
Yemen will open fire in central Israel around Tel Aviv and the Ailat port as well.
Yemen will also conduct operations in the Red Sea to disrupt transiting oil tankers
and disrupt transiting shipments that are going to any of the Israeli ports.
Iran has limited options, can strike Bahrain, can strike Kuwait, can strike the United
Arab Emirates potentially.
But ultimately, Iran takes out an Apache helicopter, now America is involved.
Iran strikes back at the Gulf nations, now America is involved because America has obligations
beyond Israel, at least on paper, obligations of the Gulf States, and therefore now you
have expanded the conflict. Israel consistently is forcing Iran's hand up the escalation
ladder in an effort to showcase that it holds all the cards and showcase that, like to
egg iran further to egg iran on to disrupt the ceasefire negotiation on the iranian side
there's two competing forces
on the one hand iran wants to obviously establish a ceasefire and get sanctions relief
and get their demands across on the other hand in order to have any kind of leverage
in order to maintain the leverage that currently has
it needs to do
two things one maintain the closure of the straight of hormones
and disrupt operations in the Shredda Hormuz.
And two, Iran also has to reestablish military deterrence.
And in order to reestablish military deterrence,
it has to behave in just as belligerent of a manner
as Israel is.
So right now, it's a constant tit for tat approach
where Israel keeps escalating,
and then Iran follows them up the escalation ladder
either striking golf refineries potentially, if their refineries process is disrupted,
if their refineries are attacked like the way Israel has, or strike Israel directly.
Obviously, there's like diminishing returns on striking Israel from what I understand
from their calculation because Israel can withstand a lot more damage because they
They have a lot better defenses than the Gulf region.
The Gulf region is left unprotected.
So it's trying to maximize its impact.
Brett Erickson says, one of these analysts guys,
he says, the return to war from President Trump's
a clear admission that the blockade has failed
disastrously.
If time was on our side, we would have zero incentive,
the risk irreversible damage to Gulf energy infrastructure
or the potential closing of Babel-Mandeb zero,
which Sina 2C, senior fellow at CI Policy responds with,
100% if Trump gets back to full scale war,
it will be an implicit acknowledgement that time was,
indeed not working in his favor for the blockade,
which we know that wasn't the case anyway.
U.S. has officially struck southern Iran as Iran vows response.
Now we wait.
Now we wait to see how hard Iran strikes.
What Iran strikes.
U.S. forces launched strikes against Iranian air defenses and radar installations in southern
Iran Tuesday with Sankt-Kham confirming the operation was carried out under direct orders
from Trump. A U.S. official told Al Jazeera and Fox News that the strikes are ongoing.
Trump told ABC News we had to respond to the downing of the Apache helicopter. Explosions
were reported in Qashem Island, in Siddiq, in Minab, all coastal areas near the Strait
of Hormuz, with Tasnim News reporters confirming six blasts fired from U.S. fighter jets.
The Iranian state broadcaster Idid confirmed explosions in Qashem and Siddiq. Reports of
strikes in central Iran remain unconfirmed. Separately, explosions were also heard in
Abil, Iraq, according to Tasnim. Iran vowed an immediate response. This was yesterday.
Iran vowed an immediate response. An Iranian official told Al Jazeera the Apache was not
flying over international waters disputing the U.S. justification. Iran obviously said
this was uh... an apache helicopter that was flying
in our territorial waters or near our territorial waters off the gulf of
oman
thosden then cited iranian sources saying that run will give a definitive
response to the u.s. aggression
carried out under the pretext of the apache helicopter crash
arabic news outlets a higher uh... highest alert levels have been issued at
u.s. military base in kawaii
barraine
united arab emirates
and
The wave of US strikes on southern Iran ended for the time being.
That was yesterday.
CBS News said explicitly that the crew had to be rescued from hostile waters.
Is that not an admission?
Yes, it is an admission.
And they even had to use unmanned drones, like sea drones, because they didn't want
risk any further loss of life.
There were also drone strikes that took place from the IRGC side and you know this tit for
Our chat has basically continued overnight and it seems that it will continue today as
well.
For the downing of an Apache helicopter, Moran also targeting the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.
Video geolocated by CNN does appear to show a flash coming from the area of a US naval
facility there.
Both Bahrain and Kuwait say they intercepted a number of Iranian strikes.
The president told Fox News he's getting close to ordering new strikes on Iranian bridges
and power plants because negotiations have been so slow.
And before that on social media, he wrote of Iran, now they will have to pay the price.
This follows a range of back and forth attacks between the U.S. and Iran overnight.
Iran saying it launched strikes on U.S. targets in the Middle East, including a base in Jordan
and a fifth platoon Bahrain.
Iran state media says U.S. strikes hit two reservoirs, cutting off drinking water to
20,000 people. CENTCOM has not yet responded to that. I want to get right to CNN's Alayna
Trin.
Remember, if their targets are civilian targets, that means that, that, that is an admission.
Their targets are civilian targets. That is an admission that they are unable to, to
defeat Iran militarily. They're unable to, to deteriorate Iran's striking capabilities.
And that's precisely the reason why they're fucking hitting civilian targets instead.
Sorry, I didn't realize the video was loud.
But the president talking in a much different way, much different way this morning than
he has.
No, absolutely, John.
This is quite a sharp turn from what we had heard from President Donald Trump, not even
48 hours ago when he had said early Tuesday morning that he believed a deal could be two
two to three days away now, of course, posting online that he believes that Iran has taken
too long to negotiate a deal, which he said would have been great for them, now they will
have to pay the price.
Those are the words from President Trump this morning.
I should note as well he also spoke with Fox News and he indicated that he was considering
wider military action toward Iran, arguing that peace talks have continued to falter.
Again, very different from what we've heard from the president.
I note that over this entire ceasefire, which started back in April, the president at least
37 times has been trying to indicate that a deal is close.
Now, of course, I think comes from questions around, is this really – is the president
being sincere when he says this?
Did he strike the exchange of fire that we saw between Washington and Tehran yesterday,
the U.S. saying they were defensive in nature in response to that downing of an Apache helicopter
on Monday, has this really changed the president's mind about where talks are and whether or
not a deal is actually possible? Or, of course, could this just be bluster from Trump trying
to exert more leverage and pressure on the Iranians at a time when many officials, again,
over the past couple of days, have said they believed a framework deal was close? We have
wait and see. Now I do want to share with you that when I spoke with the US
official yesterday about the US retaliatory strikes in Iran, they had
told me that really they were designed to be a warning shot. You heard from
Sencombe saying that the attacks would be proportional and that they had came
out and said yesterday that they were had finished. They have concluded after a
series of those US strikes and the exchange with Iran. A question of course
though it's whether or not they have been contained enough that both the US and the
Iranians believe that diplomacy is still a viable option.
Again, you know, this is a very fragile time in the ceasefire, not just after these strikes
but after we saw the weekend of the fire exchange between Israel and Iran as well, really testing
the willingness of all sides and their commitment to diplomacy.
I will say we are hearing those some, you know, potential signs that diplomatic talks
are still on the table.
We know that there is a Qatari delegation right now in Tehran trying to bridge the gaps
between these two sides.
We'll have to see how this goes forward.
But I think a big question, of course, is whether or not this is the president really
trying to exert pressure at this time, or if he is sincere, sit in for a plug in it.
Yeah.
Barack Reavid reports a deal is closed, means the deal is far away.
Barak repeat Barak ravied reports. Trump is mad at Nanny. I who means they're about to do some crazy escalation in lockstep
Them's the rules
Them's the motherfucking rules finally clean up on Isle Iran really
That's that the big victory for the greatest mightiest military on the planet is
Shutting off water access to 20,000 people
Do you feel proud of yourself? Do you feel like that was a significant accomplishment for the
American military? You know, we got D-Day as a, you know, military accomplishment and now,
now what are we doing? Just fucking trying to kill people, trying to kill civilians,
thousands of miles away and we can't even like we can't even establish air superiority over Iranian
territories which is lobbing tomahawk missiles from sometimes thousands of miles away ironically
enough you seem to in your nice glasses why not mr. modest mr. imperfection demanding perfection
what? Dude, I have no idea what you're trying to say. That is actually too stupid for me
to follow my mistake for trying to communicate with you using the human language. No arguments
there, huh? Just a barely sentient hog reacting to shapes and colors. Cool. In any case, let's
get back to it. Is in Tehran with more on the unfolding situation there. We must note,
as ever, CNN operates in Iran only with the permission of the government, but maintains
full editorial control of our reporting. Here's Fred.
The Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps say that they launched powerful retaliatory
strikes at US military bases.
Oh no.
The real American president is going to be at fucking Madison Square Garden tonight.
We're so cooked.
This is in the Middle Eastern region.
The Iranians say that they launched aerial attacks against bases in Jordan, Kuwait, as
well as the headquarters of the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, using drones but also powerful
ballistic missiles.
All this comes after the United States struck areas in the Persian Gulf.
The Iranians are saying that that is a violation of their sovereignty, and they are also saying
that it is a pretext that the U.S. is using.
Now, all of this, of course, comes after US chopper was downed near the Strait of Hormuz,
the United States saying that it was hit by an Iranian drone and that it holds Iran responsible
for that.
In the overnight hours, there were explosions that could be heard according to sources in
places like Bandar Abbas, but also on an island near the Persian Gulf, the US saying that
it struck radar installations and surface-to-air missile batteries.
But the Iranians are saying that a water desalination plant was also struck knocking out drinking
water in parts of that region.
A tremendous accomplishment by the mighty American military once again.
So cool that Iran takes out a $50 million Apache helicopter and then in retaliation,
just shuts off water access to 20,000 civilians. A straight up war crime by the way, it is very odd
that the American media is, I mean this is like worse than our Iraq coverage,
I think, where the American mainstream media would at the very least try to hide our war crimes.
Nowadays we celebrate it we flex it like it's a it's a tremendous accomplishment very weird
Very very weird that we're just you know
We're just like yeah, we're doing war crimes nothing we can do about it
Yeah, for the price of seven to ten thousand dollars with a Shahad drone, they take out
a fifty million dollar helicopter, and then our retaliation is swift, and it's of course
predictably retaliation towards civilians, a war crime, collective punishment, war crime,
And, yeah, this is just how we do it nowadays.
Of course, all of this comes as the situation in the Persian Gulf and specifically in the
Strait of Formouz remains extremely volatile with the U.S. and Iran.
Trading blows in that area over the past couple of days.
But also, as Iran and the United States are still trying to find a way to reach a memorandum
of understanding that would end the hostilities between the two countries and then pave the
the way for broader peace negotiations from like in CNN, Tehran joining me right now.
CNN political and global affairs commentator Sabrina Singh and CNN global affairs analyst
Kim Doge.
Guys, thanks for being here.
The global commentator Sabrina Singh is straight up a war criminal like literally worked for
the PR department for the state department during our during the Biden administration
with our maximum field to Israel strategy that we deployed as Israel carried out its
genocide against the Palestinians, just so you guys understand like what the
vibes are over at ZNN.
And let's start with this new warning from the president.
What do you make of this truth, of this social media posting now?
Well, what's interesting about this social media post is when
sent com launched the retaliatory strikes from the Apache that was shot down,
they said it was proportional in nature. Now,
this truth social posts this morning could really change that.
But I think the paradox here is that both sides do not want to go back to a
full-scale war so what you're seeing oh sorry she worked for the Department of
Defense not state yeah yeah yeah even more hands-on I mean she was doing PR for
the for the DOD under the Biden administration whenever we were whenever
journalists would ask her about you know are there any updates on the
Department of Defense's contracts with the state of Israel considering the
litany of war crimes that Israel is committing and her job was to be like
No, they're, you know, they're, they're investigating themselves is Iran strike again and the US,
you know, treat, they're treating Barb's back and forth.
How long can this go on and continue?
We don't know, but clearly the president is signaling today that he might be willing to
engage in more Connecticut action.
Yeah, I think the question is, is he saying what we've done now shows they're good.
That's the price they've paid or there's something now about to come.
That's right.
And we don't know.
Yeah.
We don't, we don't have more information.
What do you think of this and what this could now mean?
I think it could be another rhetorical flair from Trump that is just a typical example
of what has stymied the negotiations.
According to the New York Times and other outlets, they are making progress behind closed
doors on everything from nuclear enrichment and suspending that for several years to allowing
intrusive inspections of Iranian sites, but the moment you have Trump either make a threat
or reveal some of this progress in public and then often take it further, yeah, we don't
want them to agree to 10 years, we want them to agree to 20 years without enrichment and
saying that publicly, that always makes progress behind closed doors that much more difficult
because then the Iranians feel like they have to publicly make a repost to that just out of pride.
and let's talk about them that back and forth retaliation here can
around now says
twenty thousand iranians have lost access to drinking water after two reservoirs
were struck around blames is on the united states
cnn has reached out to central korea me blames is on the united states there's
literally fucking
impact sites that you just showed
the american
uh... the american government essential command has admitted to striking iran
it's not
this is just what
is just what happened you know i i i don't understand what the what the purpose of saying
that is like what's is it up for debate
you just showed it
man for comment on the strikes but
trump has threatened to hit water treatment plants in iran he started saying that back
in april
that face backlash then because civilian infrastructure sites like water plants are
banned as targets by international law if that's what the united states is now doing and that's
an if sent com has not respond oh that's an if
first of all
The American government has openly admitted to engaging in war crimes already by striking
civilian infrastructure such as bridges. Donald Trump on top of that has not only flexed that
they are hitting civilian sites, but they will continue to blow up all civilian sites. If there
There was any decency in this world, if there was any real maintenance of the international
standards that we, the United States of America, were the architectures of, there is enough
evidence here to suggest intent and to show action that is genocidal or at the very least
war crimes by the International Criminal Court against Donald Trump. Okay? Of course, there
is no world where the Hague prosecutes the American president. We literally have a law
that dictates that the Hague can't even prosecute American allies, the invasion of the Hague Act,
since we kickstarted the global war on terror. But there is no if in this situation. Donald Trump
Trump has already shown genocidal intent.
He has admitted over and over again that he has invested in doing war crimes.
He has admitted and taken responsibility over war crimes that America has conducted.
The entire Operation Epic Fury started with an act of perfidy in a negotiations process
with Iran once again.
So the notion that this is up for debate is completely ridiculous.
It's not up for debate at all.
Donald Trump is openly saying that he wants to keep doing war crimes against Iran.
Why won't you say Russia is conducting a genocide?
Great question.
I've talked about this already, but if you heard what I said, I said there's genocidal
intent established by Donald Trump saying I'm going to genocide Iran, okay?
But even if there isn't a genocide that you could prove, you can absolutely prove without
a shred of doubt that Donald Trump has engaged in war crimes. I've also admitted and openly
stated over and over again that Russia has engaged in war crimes as well.
mean things. You're entertaining a great name looking debate, I know.
Military law, you can strike.
Well, Russia attacks civilian architecture, infrastructure.
How come Chad doesn't think so? There's not a single chatter in this community that doesn't think that Russia hasn't
struck civilian infrastructure. You just made that up.
And you are you actually didn't even make that up for the chat you initially
Suggested that I was not acknowledging it and then when I told you that I have acknowledged it time and time again
You instantly locked in on chat to move the goalpost to try to fucking claim that there's at least someone in the chat
That doesn't fucking agree with me
Okay
Perhaps it's not because there's a misunderstanding here
okay okay I have to get your attention somehow well you know take a week off
and then really reconsider your priorities the fuck do you mean you
have to take my you have to get my attention somehow you don't have to do
that at all this kind of a target according to proportionality according
to you know did this particular water reservoir or these two reservoirs mostly
We feed into military facilities.
In that case, you could make a legal argument that they were okay to strike.
But what we're hearing from Iran is these fed large civilian districts.
And you have many Iranian military sites next to or co-located with civilian areas.
So it is hard for me to understand.
Oh, is it?
It's hard for you to understand when Donald Trump says we're gonna fucking destroy all
cultural landmarks. We're going to destroy the entirety of like Iranian existence. We're going
to wipe Iran and its culture off the map. It's difficult to understand. Yeah, it's only difficult
to understand because you're refusing to understand what's taking place here. That's the only reason
why it's difficult, I guess. Not actually difficult to understand at all. Yeah. Derek Davis says,
they were aggressively drinking water at us we had no choice but to retaliate.
Yeah, self-defense strikes against a water reservoir. How ridiculous.
Why this was okay? Why not hit one of their drone factories or part of the military arm that's
allowing them to continue with the war fighting because it takes decades to repair a water reservoir
in a country that has struggled with drought. This is a real blow.
What do you, what do you questions does this raise for you in this moment?
I agree with Kim. I mean, right now, there is, there could be a legal argument that
SENTCOM could make and, and, and that if this was, you know, a water facility that
was, you know, assisting military facilities or military infrastructure in some way.
But, you know, there's a lot of questions here. And I think SENTCOM's statement
yesterday said that they struck.
What do you mean a water facility that's assisting military facilities?
There is no fucking argument, dude. They're literally oh my god. Everything is Israel
We are Israel Israel and the United States of America are one nation under God, okay?
Indivisible
What are you saying right now? Oh the military was drinking the water?
These were water reservoirs of terror they're literally doing the Hamas line. Sorry. It was a Hamas battle
This time it's a Hamas water reservoir.
What the fuck?
Is the IRGC water? That's what it is.
What it is.
Air defense targets and radars and ground.
Russia is potentially committing acid genocide under the genocide convention specifically
article 2.
Yes, yes.
The forcible transfer of children from the occupied population, I know.
It doesn't necessarily fit within the popular definition, but legally it's probably the strongest
case.
Not that it'll ever get tried by the ICJ, but good to know.
No, I know.
I am familiar.
Broadly speaking, their overarching goals are a complete domination of Ukraine, expansion
of their territory over the Ukrainian borders, and to bring the Ukrainian population into
their population numbers.
Does it, are they going to be successful?
No, of course not, but that's the broader goal here, as opposed to the Israeli goals
are never to incorporate the Palestinian population into their overall population.
land acquisition, its territorial expansion with ethnic cleansing involved.
That's the major difference.
In any case, like I said, just because you can potentially establish genocidal intent
doesn't mean that it is a genocide, which is why I said with the United States of America
there is genocidal intent, but it would never, I don't know if it would ever, even in a
just world, it would hold up to the standard of a genocide, whereas with Korea we can clearly
define it as one, given the bombing campaigns and the targets that they struck in Korea.
Okay?
However, no one is questioning whether or not Russia has committed war crimes, and no
one is questioning whether or not America is currently in the process of committing
war crimes, except for CNN.
The point I was making is that CNN is actually trying to create doubt where no such doubt
exists, because we know that it happened.
We watched it happen.
We saw the impact sites, and not only that, but also Donald Trump has openly stated that
he has invested in doing war crimes in Iran.
Control centers.
So there is a bit of discrepancy.
I mean, it would be nice if the Pentagon held briefings.
So can I ask how Russia is relevant to this current discourse at all?
It's not.
It's not even in any way, shape, or form, unless you want to say, when Russia does it, we call
it out and we openly acknowledge it when America does it the whole world stands by and acts as though
there's any kind acts as though there's some doubt okay that's it the only reason why some people
come in here to say oh what about Russia when you know Russia's actions are comparable to the
United States of America 100% there's no doubt there I you know openly mention that all the
the fucking time, but a lot of shit-lips come in here to bring Russia up to, you know, throw
a fucking deflection grenade, you know? It's like a smoke bomb. You're like, oh, well,
what about Russia? It's like, yeah, what about it? You know? Yes, they're doing war crimes.
You and I agree on that. You don't agree on American conductive war crimes. That's the
reason why you want to deflect away from America to point the finger at Russia right now.
We could ask some of these questions and get more clarification on why this desalination
plant was hit.
But this is going to have a big hit to the 20,000 people who depend on this water.
And that is a catastrophic effect of this war.
And of course, as we know also here, the rising gas prices.
President, you posted this morning about Iran and said that they've taken too long to get
to a deal.
I want to make sure I put it in the correct way.
It's not why is Korea a genocide?
The United States supported Koreans, maybe war crimes, but not genocide?
No, the Korea war was genocidal
What we did in Korea is literally what Israel is doing in Gaza right now if you consider what Israel is doing in Gaza to be a
Genocide then you have to recognize that what we did in Korea is also the exact same as a matter of fact
That is the established precedent for the Dahiya doctrine before Israel ever used it in Dahiya in
in
suburbs of Beirut in southern Lebanon, that's where that military technique comes from.
Collateralizing the entire civilian population, destroying civilian infrastructure deliberately.
That is the Dahiya doctrine, that is what America is doing right now in Iran.
That is literally what is, you know, understandably considered genocidal acts.
Not only that, but they also wanted to use a nuke in Korea as of so, you know,
You said that now they will have to pay the price.
What do you mean by that?
Well, we're going to be attacking them, attacking them very hard.
Resuming on?
Yeah, based on the helicopter.
I guess we have the right to do that.
They shut down a very incredible, actually an incredible machine.
And at first they said they didn't do it, then they did it, then they did it.
So it was easy because we have the, we have the bomb.
We actually have the bomb.
They're very lucky that bomb.
We're going to hit them hard again today.
When I saw the first post, I thought, is he accounting Iranianships that ran the
straight?
And then I saw that he said, we're taking their oil out of Iran, which just
confirms, yes, he is.
Yeah.
So this was what he said earlier.
Last month I directed our great US military to execute a secret mission to
support oil tankers and other commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
Today I am pleased to announce that this effort has resulted in more than 100 million barrels
of oil making its way through the Strait and into the open market.
More than 200 commercial ships have safely traveled through the Strait.
This wildly successful effort is because the United States of America controls the Strait
of Hormuz.
Not Iran.
Their military is defeated and their economy is lost.
It's over for Iran.
Thank you for your attention this matter.
It turns out
It turns out he was literally talking about the Iranian oil tankers that were allowed to fucking cross through the show to Hormuz
And he's taking credit for it
Breaking US energy secretary right says he's not aware of the oil that President Trump claimed the US is taking out of Iran
President Trump said the oil of the US has been taking out of Iran is a big reason as to why the oil prices have fallen
Towards $85 a barrel
So, they're obviously allowing Iranian oil tankers a pass-through to go to the Asian markets,
and then he's saying like we're letting that happen, and we've actually stolen that oil,
we've taken that oil ourselves. And Gregory Bru, senior analyst for Iran Oil at Eurasia Group,
It says, for what it's worth, 100 million BBLs, Brazilian buttlifts, is 50 to 100 shifts,
depending on the size, which is equal to about a few days of pre-war flows.
Yeah.
US retail gasoline average prices have fallen nearly 10% since late May, down 4.15 per
gallon.
The lowest since April was 4.56 per gallon in May 26.
There's a big reason why Trump thinks he can continue dragging out the current low-boil
attritional phase of the war without having to choose between a personally catastrophic
peace deal, i.e. capitulation, or a globally catastrophic resumption of the war.
There was another post that he actually delivered.
The fake news media refused to report how effective the US naval blockade is, the most
successful blockade in the history of naval warfare.
gets through unless we wanted to it is a steel wall iran is doing zero business not paying
their military or any of their bills and quickly becoming a failed nation lots of oil is getting
out praise be to Allah president donald j trump but it's our reserves increasing fuck no
Fuck no, we're at a critical stage. We are a couple weeks out from hitting the bottom of the barrel
Look literally
Most countries are like a month out
Most countries are month out from
From reaching critical levels in their strategic reserves
Okay
When I saw first post I thought is he counting Iranian ships that ran the straight and then I saw. Yeah. So
The oil executives realize it but Trump is ignoring the crisis. Yes.
Not where I'm at. What do you mean?
Yeah, he's doing the praise be to Allah shit again, which I assume implies that he's panicking.
whenever he deploys praise be to Allah know that he's like threatening it's
almost like a code word where he's saying like we're going to destroy it
like he is openly mentioned that he does that to like freak out the Iranians it
means that like we are reaching a boiling point and he's threatening the
maximum level of damage against Iran that's usually how he does it and he's
like also mocking them I guess
That's that's all this is
Robert A. Pape
President Trump just said 200 ships have secretly passed Hormosa's the war began that's compared to over 10,000 in the normal 100 days
Since the war 200 is 2% of the norm world heading to historic energy crisis
So even as flex on how many ships have been able to pass through many of which are Iranian ships is
is literally a fraction of the the necessary oil tankers
transiting through the straight unimpeded which is slowly but surely
chipping away eroding the the strategic reserves in the Asian markets and even in
the United States of America. Iranian US officials held parallel talks with
Qatari mediators and dole over the past two days according to a regional source.
The Qatari's tried to arrange a trilateral meeting to directly negotiate
the remaining gaps, but the Iranians refuse, says Barak Unit 8200 Reveed.
Let's take a look at what Trump is saying now.
It didn't explode.
That bomb was lodged in the helicopter.
It didn't explode.
It was on fire, but it didn't explode.
It's just, there's two guys.
They knew how to fly, but they got very lucky.
And then we had the unmanned boat going very, very fast at speeds that you wouldn't want
to go.
That's why it's unmanned, I guess, because nobody could be going up.
They rescued some of the both people are fortunately the pilots here. Okay. No, look, I've been working with around for a number of months and they should decide the deal. It's a good deal. It doesn't give them the right to have a nuclear weapon.
In fact, why is the price falling? What are the market's logic here? I don't know. I don't ask me
I think the market is illogical. I don't think there's a real I think there's a bubble and
I don't think there's a real
Supply demand curve that the market is operating off of especially when you come when you look at different markets
That where the price of fucking crude is is up
It's a global commodity with inelastic demand.
It's a global market for that reason.
So America's not sheltered from the impact.
So I assume they're just dumping their reserves right now.
That's what it is.
We prohibit them from ever having a nuclear weapon.
And it was just tap, tap, tap.
I don't know what they're doing.
So they then shot out a shout-out or helicopter, very expensive helicopter by the way, but
much more importantly the two men, fortunately they're okay, but an amazing rescue if you ever
get a clip you won't believe the rescue, how cool it was, the equipment we have. Look we have the
strongest military in the world and I gave them a break at the request of Pakistan, the field
Marshall and the Prime Minister of Pakistan and great. We stopped them from going to war
with India. You would have had a nuclear war if it wasn't for me. But they became friendly
to me, very friendly, and they came close to Iran and they were, and they still are
working on trying them to do what's right. But we want to deal this meaningful, we want
to deal the works, we don't want to just have a Barak, Hussein Obama deal with JCPOA, the
steel. That was a path to a nuclear. It's the exact topic. You know, I like on television.
Oh, they should have kept that. First of all, it was over. It was a short term deal.
That deal was a path to a nuclear. We see the fit, bro. Thank you. I wanted to show it off again.
I'm very proud of this one. Stupid question. But can Iran be stalling to get the new in the meantime?
No. Uh, that tie does not match homie. I'm sorry. Shut up.
This is a path against a nook. You can't have a nuclear weapon.
His was a path to a nuclear weapon.
They were developing during his administration, nuclear weapon.
If they had a nuclear weapon, they'd be no Israel,
there'd be no Middle East and they would have absolutely shot at us.
So, we'll see what happens, but we hit them hard yesterday, and we're going to hit them
again hard today in case you missed it, in case you don't turn on your television set.
And we'll see what happens with the deal.
We're really close to a deal, but they keep tapping us along.
They keep playing us for suckers because, you know what, they dealt with some very stupid
presidents.
I have to say that I'm embarrassed to say it.
Some very stupid people were sitting there.
Yeah.
Thank you, President. I have two questions. First of all, Turkish President Erdogan keeps threatening Israel. Do you think there's a chance of a conflict between Israel and Turkey? And will you sell at 35?
Well, as you know, he's a very good friend of mine. And we've worked very well together. I like him a lot. I'm not supposed to say that because the press was saying, oh, he likes Erdogan.
Now, he's a hell of a leader and a strong person, a very strong person.
I haven't heard that at all.
If I did that, call him and I think I'd make sure that things were fine.
I don't think that will happen with Turkey.
Not as long as I'm president, because he respects me and I respect him.
But beyond that, we have a good friendship.
So, you know, so-
That's my second question.
That's my second question.
Besides peace and availability, why do you wish yourself-
This is a guy explaining why all this is spiking a big real a big reason
I'll didn't go to 200 and why it won't is that the US crude exports have boomed
Chart shows massive rising crude exports in April, which is not explained by SPR release US supplies the genuine force holding down global oil prices
This is what I said as well partially backed by I suspect
the the new natural reserves that opened up from Venezuela, so
America is is
is basically crippling the world, the global reliance on the Gulf.
I didn't think that we would be able to keep up with the necessary demand,
but this is part of it, I suspect.
Since oil production didn't increase much since April,
I think the extra exports are from business inventory, which is not SBR.
I think it's unreasonable to expect production to ramp up a short notice when a shock like Iran hits.
Obviously, the first thing that happens is the inventories are drawn down and that's fine.
This is global arbitrage at work and I expect many U.S. exports to be even bigger.
I don't know. I don't know where it's...
I don't know how they are capable of ramping up production to keep up with 20% of the entire globe's oil demands.
Anyway, the anti-Semitic tyrant Adeduan, who perpetrates genocide against the Kurds,
supports the terrorist organization Hamas, oppresses his own people, and oppresses political
rivals, is the last one who can preach morals of the state of Israel.
The state of Israel and the idea of the most moral army in the world.
Oh my God, it's so funny when he says that.
This is why Netanyahu tweeted about Adelon, and he said he's going to forcefully respond.
Turkish President Adelon says 85 years ago, the silence and inaction in the face of Hitler
led to the deaths of 80 million people worldwide.
All of humanity paid the price for the madness of a deranged tyrant.
Today, the same mistake is being repeated.
The genocidal actions of Gaza Butcher and Netanyahu in his cabinet are being watched
with the same silence and lack of response that once greeted Hitler.
No one should forget, when a fire grows, it does not only burn the region where it stands,
where it starts, it sparks spread across the world.
Just as the entire world is paying the price today for the unresolved situation in the
Shredda Hormuz, if Israel's lawlessness is not brought to the end, all of humanity, along
with the region, will bear the consequences, which he's right.
You know?
I mean, he's literally right.
So, of course, that's the exact type of correct statement that really pisses off Benjamin and
Yahu.
Anyway, where was I?
Oh, here is, I mean, I don't even know if there's any utility in listening to tradings.
He's like even less relevant than Barack reviews reporting, I'm going to be honest, but he
has direct access to Donald Trump and he, I guess, will, you know, if you want to hear
like the maximalist propaganda from the American side, you listen to Trey Yen.
Yeah, guys.
Good morning.
I just got off the phone with President Trump and he gave Fox News some brand new details
on what happened with that Apache helicopter that went down earlier this week and provided
his thinking on where things stand with the negotiation.
And I want to start with a story the president told me, new details about the downing of
this US Army Apache helicopter.
President Trump tells Fox News that the Iranian drone lodged in between the two pilots in
this helicopter.
They were flying very low.
And at that point, the drone didn't explode as it had intended to.
And so these pilots were trying to take down the helicopter with the drone lodged into
this gunship without it exploding and at any moment it could have exploded the
president told me and he said it was on fire there was a lot of heat inside the
cockpit of this helicopter and ultimately these two pilots were able to
take it down into the sea where ultimately they were rescued for the
first time in U.S. military history by an unmanned sea drone. Now President
Trump also talked about the U.S. strikes last night against Iranian radar systems
and air defense sites. He said the Iranians had tried to rebuild during the ceasefire
their defensive capabilities but they were unable to stop these US strikes
overnight and they were hammered by US fighter jets. Now interestingly President
Trump told me that he is getting close to ordering new strikes against Iranian
power plants and bridges because he says the Iranians are tapping the United
states along when it comes to the negotiating process.
He says the bully of the Middle East is dead, and he told me I may keep going when I asked
him about a possible response to the Iranian missile fire that targeted U.S. forces in Kuwait,
Bahrain, and Jordan overnight.
The president said they had a chance to sign a deal and survive, indicating again that
he may order new strikes against the Iranian regime in response to their dragging their
feet at the negotiating table. Again, though, the latest information that we got from President
Trump about that helicopter that went down earlier this week, really a remarkable story.
The president called it a miracle. This drone hits the Apache helicopter, lodges between
the two pilots. It's on fire, and there's a massive amount of heat coming out of the
drone, but it doesn't explode. And these pilots very quickly, within seconds, because they're
flying very low, take the helicopter down into the sea, and then ultimately about two
Two hours later, according to U.S. Central Command, they are rescued for the first time
in U.S. military history by an unmanned sea drone.
Again, the president ordering those strikes overnight to target Iranian radar systems
and those air defense sites that the Iranians have tried to rebuild during the ceasefire.
They weren't supposed to do that, but the president said just a few percentages of
that defensive capability they were able to rebuild.
And President Trump says they took out about 55 percent of what they were even able to
rebuild.
story about these US pilots from the army that were able to survive this ordeal
against an Iranian drone lodged into their helicopter.
Zoran just tweeted this out. Be careful.
New York City's stream heat and thunderstorms are rolling in tonight.
We may see scattered thunderstorms of heavy rain and high winds that could down
trees and power lines exercise caution while traveling and stay inside during
storms. Thursday and Friday the heat index may hit a hundred degrees. The
extreme heat is deadly so please seek out air conditioning and help your
neighbors who do the same. Thanks Chatter.
Thank you, Chatter.
I mean, I feel like this story is probably a bit exaggerated,
unless it was a dud, I guess,
like a drone with a loitering,
like a loitering surface air missile system on it,
That fired at the helicopter and but it was a dud it didn't explode. I don't know
It just seems kind of wild. Yes, there's an MSG versus Zoram. I'm Donnie drama as well
New York severe he is no joke skip the suit jacket at men tomorrow
Brother I know what the fuck are you guys talking about I lived here like I lived in New Jersey for
years. I am very familiar with all four seasons in this area. Hello. I think
motherfuckers forget.
It's especially dangerous for old people, so please be careful Hassanabi
Hassel. Okay guys, calm down.
And again, President Trump ordering those powerful strikes overnight to send
a message to the Iranian regime that he is not done, and if they are unwilling to make
a deal, the president tells Fox News he may keep going.
One of the things that would stop him, that stopped him from going back, multiple things.
There's people who are in administration who is just concerned about the election, I can
understand that, and just don't feel we should have been doing it anyway.
The other thing was the Gulf States.
The Gulf States were getting worried because they were being targeted, and they were worried
about their oil and gas, which fuels their economy, pun intended.
And at this point, it seems trade by what you say and what the President just said and
what with the analysis you've offered.
At this point, it seems the President says, yeah, I hear you, but it looks like it's in
our best interest for me to go ahead anyway.
It seems like we're getting close to that because he's able to monitor the interaction
that the Iranians are having with each other, and that brings him to that conclusion.
Yes, absolutely. And the president talked about the oil prices around $80 to $90 a barrel.
And remember, some analysts said they were going to be at $300. And because of the way
that the president has conducted these negotiations, it has reinstalled, I think, faith in these
Gulf countries who are responsible for so much of the world's crude oil production and
LNG production. Remember, the Qataris account just by themselves for about 20 percent of
world's LNG production. I've talked with regional sources and they say President Trump has strategic
patience. And he's given the Iranians an olive branch time and time again, offering them a chance
to make a good faith deal at the table to open the Strait of Hormuz, abandon their nuclear ambitions,
get rid of that nuclear dust, and ultimately de-escalate the situation across the region.
And the president at the same time has been calling on Gulf allies of the United States,
like Saudi Arabia, like Qatar, and others to join the Abraham Accords, because the larger vision
here for President Trump is to develop an Accords that will create peace across the Middle East
and have these countries normalize ties with Israel. Because we saw the Israelis striking
Iran just a number of days ago in response to the ballistic missile fire toward this country.
But what I gathered from my conversation with the President is that he is working to exhaust
all diplomatic options. I can't believe we thought trade was solid. No, trade has not been solid,
nor reliable since he since he got a promotion.
He has not been solid.
Unfortunately, given the Iranians a chance at diplomacy and they haven't taken it,
The president said himself all they had to do was sign and they could survive and they've chosen not to do so so far
And that is why President Trump told me he is getting close to targeting Iran's power plants and bridges
If they are unwilling to sign a deal
He told me he may keep going as it relates to the US strikes overnight
And he said Iran is tapping the United States along and he's not going to stand for it
trade real real quickly because you've had the opportunity to talk with the president today
But before that as well, and you know he has a distinction. He calls some of these strikes
Little love taps
If you get the impression that the president was doing the love taps to get them back to the table
Or are we past the love taps and the president is getting ready to restart the full operation?
operation.
It's a great question and ultimately that's going to be up to President Trump.
But at this point, again, he has given the Iranians a chance time and time again for more
than two months to reach a negotiated settlement.
And as the president has told me and regional intelligence sources have told Fox News in
recent weeks, this is a pretty simple deal.
Iran has to sign on the dotted line and they have two options here.
can either open the Strait of Hormuz and make these commitments as it relates to their nuclear
program and export or destroy all of that enriched material or ultimately this is going
to resume into an intense military operation against the Iranian regime. Remember last
night the majority of the U.S. strikes were focused on the southwestern part of Iran.
President Trump ordered these strikes against Iranian radar systems and against air defense
systems that the Iranians.
Yeah, these are a little love tabs if we call war crimes love tabs, then it's more palatable
B 52 making his way over the Persian Gulf. All right. Well considering that it's highly unlikely
They're going to base a strategic bomber in the Gulf is either a message slash drill or another round is coming
Don't they take their transponders off when they go on a bombing run
It's a Poseidon.
It's just mislabeled.
There are P-8s, idiots, they're looking for Iran subs that will cut undersea cables and
destroy the golf banking system.
Tried to rebuild during the ceasefire and
There are a variety of strike options on the table for President Trump and so he maintains this leverage
He holds the cards here and the Iranians thought for a very long time
According to intelligence sources in the region that they could wait out President Trump
they thought that he cared about the World Cup or the midterms.
Ultimately he showed last night he cares about victory on the battlefield and about
either reaching an agreement with the Iranian regime that ensures they never have a nuclear
weapon or ultimately doing this through force.
And so again, President Trump has a variety of options on the table here.
But I think when we talk about this enriched material, it's a very important point here
because we've been briefed by U.S. officials and I want to just take our viewers very quickly
through this process because it's important to understand how the Iranians are getting
closer to weapons-grade material.
When uranium ore is mined from the ground, ultimately it goes through a chemical process
and it's turned into yellow cake.
And then there's another chemical process that yellow cake is turned into a hexafluoride
gas and they spin that gas very rapidly in these advanced centrifuges that the Iranians
had a lot of in their nuclear facilities that were targeted during Operation Midnight Hammer
last summer.
But as they repeat this process over and over again, the lighter particles go to the outside
of these centrifuges and the heavier ones stay at the inside and they repeat the process
over and over again and they increase the purity of this enriched material to around
60% purity.
One step further you get to 90% purity and that is weapons grade material for a nuclear
bomb.
Dude.
Oh, I don't want to fucking, I can't deal with this dude.
This guy sounds like he woke up with Trump this morning.
Yeah, they were in bed together.
They were having sex.
Yeah, any minute now, dude.
Any minute now, they're about to enrich it.
Every day, every day, they're closer and closer
to enrichment, dude, totally.
God, it's so,
it's just not even very good.
As far as propaganda goes,
I don't think this is good propaganda.
It's actually remarkably bad, probably, Yanda.
Well, I'll go set bigger.
Peace for the world.
Peace for the world.
Middle East, yes.
Peace for the whole world.
Yeah.
Iranian missiles streaking to the sky last.
One of the craziest aspects of this has been that, I guess, like, given the limitations
of the Iranian retaliation so far,
Trump gets to maintain this posture that there is a ceasefire that's still ongoing.
I find that very odd as well, right? Because Iran is not retaliating in,
Iran is not retaliating with sufficient countermeasures and is not going back to like,
I guess, the most extensive bombing campaign that they were engaging in in the beginning of the
the Epstein-Fury operation, that Trump can just turn around and consistently maintain
the idea that like a ceasefire is still happening and still ongoing, and people shouldn't even
worry about it.
All this is done is basically destroy the mutual understanding of words that we have.
the ceasefire no longer means the cessation of hostilities in any way shape or form
both parties still attack one another america attacks iran iran attacks israel
iran attacks the proxies
i don't even fucking know anymore it just has no meaning
as the u.s. and iran trade is close
following the downing
of an american helicopter
near the straight of home moves
iran says it targeted u.s bases in the middle east
American officials say they struck Iranian air defense and radar systems.
A flare-up, both dramatic and contained, emits this fragile ceasefire.
Neither Iran's regime nor President Trump want a resumption of all-out war.
Nidusite wants to leave any aggression unanswered.
We must come out of this state of neither war nor...
At what point will you become a doomer about this?
I mean, I don't really know, am I not sufficiently doomer about this?
I have been sufficiently doomer about this.
I feel like it's, it's completely fucked.
It's very clear that there is, it's very clear that, that America's refusal to
abide by the very reasonable demands that Iran is making is extending this
fucking conflict for no real reason.
And in the process, America is now going back to hitting civilian targets.
It sucks.
Peace.
War is certainly not in the country's interest, but that does not mean if they seek to violate
our dignity or encroach our land and territory, we will surrender or back down.
Meanwhile, President Trump talked both of more strikes and the possibility of peace.
Well, we hit them hard yesterday and we're going to hit them again hard today.
In case you don't turn on your television set.
And we'll see what happens with the deal.
We're really close to the deal, but they keep tapping us along.
They keep playing us the suckers.
In Lebanon, there's no sign of a supposed ceasefire,
with heavy Israeli attacks on the south of the country continuing.
And Hezbollah firing at Israeli troops.
The conflict here further complicating the already-stalled talks between the U.S. and Iran.
And fresh Israeli evacuation orders are pushing yet more Lebanese out of their homes.
One million have been displaced, many in shelters, others just in tents on the street here in Beirut.
Ten, ten years old?
Jude and her brothers come from Qiyam, a border village that's now largely been destroyed.
At night when the strikes were happening, it was terrifying.
We would all sleep together in the living room.
We could hear the drones above our head.
After three months living in a tent, her father, Rabia, is exhausted and furious.
I feel like going in front of an Israeli tank that's sitting on my land and telling them,
kill me, do whatever you want.
And I place my faith in my children's faith on those in charge, on those who have left
my children like this, while their own children are living in the most luxurious hotels. We've
had enough. We've reached our absolute limit. But for now, there's no end to the tears,
no end to the grief. Close to 4,000 people have been killed in Israel's attacks on Lebanon,
including more than 130 paramedics.
You think a couple weeks ago when the negotiators supposedly had an agreement that Trump was
the one to block the deal. I don't think it's Trump doing that. I think by Trump's, I mean,
judging by the way Trump moves, the way Trump operates, I feel like he, yeah, sure, he has his
own personal reasons for not wanting to put pen to paper on a ceasefire negotiation, because it's
a humiliation for him. But he has in the past figured out a way to make this kind of thing work.
So I don't think it's just his ego that's stopping this ceasefire from coming to fruition. I think
it's Israel.
I voted Trump 3x. The dude is a comment completely betrayed. Sold us out to Israel. The faster
you realize it, the faster we can all move them from MAGA so it doesn't happen. So it
doesn't happen again. Okay. I mean, maybe it's pot accounts. Maybe it's real. Who knows?
Hopefully it's real.
The medics and healthcare workers. The young man they're burying today with a volunteer
with a paramedic organization established by a political party that is allied to Hezbollah.
The international law is clear. Deliberately targeting health care workers is a war crime,
irrespective of their affiliation.
There was a strike on the paramedic center. Ali was trying to take our injured colleagues away in an ambulance
he was targeted too. There's been so much killing here. How does this conflict end?
The land requires sacrifice and the land must be irrigated with blood. It is never satiated.
This is a temporary resting place, a cemetery just outside Beirut for families unable to
bury loved ones in their own homes in the south because of ongoing Israeli attacks. As
flags adorned many of the other graves here and what's more blood will flow in
this country and across this region I have a message for you the people of
Lebanon oh my god well it's in English so it's for the Americans to hear Israel
is not at war with you we're at war with Hisbala that has taken your country
hostage that does Iran's bidding bro how many times that we heard this exact
I have a message for you the people of Gaza. We have a message for you our war is not with you
But it's actually with Hamas. I have a message for you the people of Iran the good people of Iran our war is not with you
It's actually with the the Islamic Republic
It's literally the same exact message. It's not even for anybody at this point. Who's this for who hears this and goes?
Yeah, no, I believe it I
I totally believe it. Yeah, he just he just wants to read. He wants to free Lebanon from
Hezbollah. He wants to free Gaza from Hamas. He wants to free Iran from the IRGC, even
the biggest dickwriters of all time. Okay, Persians. I am not a M not Iranian. I am Persian
president, Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. All of the people that used to talk like that.
And those people gave up on the notion that President Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, thank
you, thank you, thank you, are actually fucking invested in any way they perform in liberation
for the Iranian people.
The only thing that they're liberating people from is their fucking bodies, okay, is their
lives.
Oh, my God.
that uses your territory to launch terrorist attacks against Israel. Do you remember what
Lebanon was like before Iran and Hezbollah turned it into a nightmare? Remember the cafes?
Remember the culture? Remember the calm? All that's gone because Hezbollah and-
Yeah, the only person that still fucking hears this message and goes, I believe it, is like
Patrick Bet David, I think, like this message is for, I guess, American Zionists, or Zionists
in the English-speaking world that are already pro-Israel, and this gives them a little
bit more comfort, maybe.
It allows them to be just as delusional as they always are.
It allows them to maintain their idiotic posture.
It's just so fucked up.
Iran want to drag us into war over and over and over again.
You deserve better.
Your children deserve better.
You know by now that Israel will do whatever it takes to protect our families, our communities.
Hezbollah is weaker than ever.
Israel is stronger than ever.
We've taken out nearly 10,000 Hezbollah terrorists so far.
We're systematically carrying out South Lebanon of these fanatics.
No matter where they are, we'll find them.
You also know we yearn for peace with you, with Lebanon,
a peace where our two peoples can invest together,
build together, thrive together.
The only impediment, the only obstacle
to this beautiful vision is Hezbollah.
They want war, not peace.
They want death, not life.
They will sacrifice as many of you as possible
to achieve their sick aims.
Don't let your future be dictated by medieval theocrats,
help bent on destroying our common civilization. Israel wants peace with you. Seize your future.
Join Israel. Build safety and prosperity for all of our children. And once Kisbala is
dismantled, the possibilities are endless. And they are.
Dude, this, yeah, um, right before, right before Benjamin N. Yahu says this, I mean,
The right after Benjamin Netanyahu says this, he conducted the genocide of Gaza.
So, judging by statements like that, it's not looking too good for Lebanon either.
And of course, there's no force that will restrain Israel.
There's no force on the planet that will restrain Israel.
It's incredibly annoying.
Senior Iranian MP, Ibrahim Aziz, says, we are not afraid of fighting losers. The number
of American casualties already far higher than Trump confirms and it will rise. This
time the war won't be limited to the region. We'll see what happens. I don't know if
that means anything.
Unless the US and Israeli military merge, they cannot take on Hezbollah, it doesn't matter.
Their goal is not to take on Hezbollah, their goal is to just keep murdering and keep murdering
Lebanese people and keep clearing out villages as the world looks on and says absolutely nothing.
A real blight.
Real blight on the planet. Okay.
Moving on to Democratic Party primaries or primaries that took place in Maine,
South Carolina, numerous other places. Obviously, Graham Platner won the primaries last night as
expected. Not a lot of super interesting data came out of this, in my opinion. Everything
went according to the expectations. I think you got like the same margin as previous Democrats
had, but with a much higher number of participants this time around. So there is definitely a
lot of people who are involved, a lot of people who are invested, a lot of people who are going
out the vote, even though it's a primary, so that's good.
The primary voters hit the polls to pick their candidates for the fall. In the state of Maine,
a Senate showdown is set between Democrat Graham Plattner and Republican Senator Susan Collins.
Plattner is a first-time candidate, facing serious questions about his past.
Caitlin Huey Burns is in Brewer, Maine. Caitlin, good morning.
Hey, good morning, Vlad.
And after prevailing in that primary last night, Graham Platner nodded to some of those controversies
telling supporters that he's made mistakes in life, but he vowed to make them proud and
a race that is going to help determine the control of the U.S. Senate.
We will win back the Senate seat.
It's so funny that liberals who maintain the vote blue no matter who posture, like the
centrist liberals who are unbelievably pro-Israel and Israel first, clearly, that have taken
Graham Plattner's statements against Israel very seriously, contrary to what the ultras
think, are deciding to say like, oh, you guys don't understand, we're just giving you a
sincere warning that like, you only know how to beat us, centrist Democrats, you don't
know how to beat right wing Republicans, right wing Republicans are far more vicious, far
more ruthless and have a lot more money to dump in these sorts of races.
And while that is true, and the Republicans have already entertained a $50 million war
chest that they're going to be dumping in the direction of Susan Collins here, it's
very clear to me that liberals recognize something that I've been saying since day one, like
Graham Plattner, don't like Graham Plattner, it doesn't matter.
Graham Plattner's platform shows that you can actually win with left populism in a
purple state, in a red seat.
You can win over a red seat.
This betrays the fundamental argument that liberals have advanced over and over again
against left-flank candidates.
So that's why I don't spend a good deal of time talking about grand-platiners' background
or shortcomings or what went wrong here or anything like that, okay?
They recognize it because I'm sorry to say this, they're a lot smarter when it comes
to elections than the average online lefty is, okay?
This is their field, this is where they are dominant, and they know exactly how to undermine
their opposition.
And when I say their opposition, I don't mean the Republicans.
Their opposition in this race is the left.
For the centrists in the Democratic Party, they would much rather maintain, for some
of them, they would much rather maintain a Republican majority in the Senate than to
give way to the argument that you can actually win with left populism in a purple state.
can actually win with left populism in a red seat. Okay? That's it. And I've been saying
this is day one since the first Grand Platinum controversies came out. Right? Since the first
Grand Platinum controversy came out, what did I say? I said, look, I have my suspicions,
I have my skepticisms about Grand Platinum, but the silver lining here is that left populism
is is demonstrably successful
even in places like main
and it's clear that that is the case
okay
now what i think is going to happen in the upcoming months uh... in the lead up
to the actual general election is
you're gonna see some
party officials and and party members in the democratic party
buck up
and recognize the severity recognize the danger of a republican congress
uh... a republican senate and actually
defend grand platter and and offer support a grand platter
and try to get grand platter across the finish line
there will however be a lot of naysayers that uh... operated within the
primaries
to to limited success
continue to launch attacks against grand platter because they would rather
a bernie cratt lose
to prove their priors
uh... and and uh... allow a republican majority of it to take shape then to
uh... then to allow a bernie crack the wind
and prove their their world view to be uh... insignificant in koskvish land
wrong
i've made mistakes in my life mistakes i regret that i live with
and i continue to learn from
the set by a series of scandals including allegations of physical abuse by a
a woman he dated over a decade ago, which Platner denied, calling them quote, politically
motivated.
You have had my back.
The Marine veteran and Maine oyster farmer released this video Tuesday, reflecting on
the race.
This past year ranks a f***ing brutal.
Now the hard part begins for Platner as the political newcomer aims to defeat five-term
Republican Senator Susan Collins in November.
Susan Collins doesn't serve us.
She serves Donald Trump.
While in South Carolina.
Serving South Carolina has been the greatest honor of my life.
Congresswoman Nancy Mace lost her race for governor after the conservative firebrand
failed to win the endorsement of President Trump, who instead backed the state's Lieutenant
Governor Pamela Avet, who advanced to the June 23rd runoff against Attorney General
Alan Wilson.
I'm going to endorse Alan Wilson for governor.
I think he's going to mop the floor with Pamela Ovest.
Hi everyone, how you doing?
And over in California, the governor's race has now narrowed.
Republican Steve Hilton advanced to the general election
to take on Democrat Javier Becerra.
Now, Plattner may be running as an outsider here in Maine,
but last night Washington top Democrats lined up behind him.
And as for his opponent, Susan Collins, she said yesterday that these allegations against
Plattner are troubling and serious, and that he owes people of Maine a more detailed explanation.
Eva.
Caitlin, thank you.
If I'm in your campaign, or if I'm high up in the Democratic Party, at this point,
I have a few questions in terms of the health of your campaign.
Anyway, yeah, he had some really good bars.
I'm moving forward into the he had some really good bars in his acceptance speech last night
Don't know if I have that in the docket here. I do want to bring that up where you know he he
he railed against
all the forces
He railed against all the forces that that coalesced to to attack them and
Said you know, we're doing it. We're doing the damn thing. We're fighting back all this shit
Do you have a license to bounce on it the way you do? Yes, I do. I do have my license to bounce on it.
Yeah.
He had some good lines here. He talks about redemption.
uh...
son of rural man
i was a kid who picked blueberries on the july sun and then one day
i was a kid who signed up and left the fight for his country
when i returned
for the record whenever he says i fought for freedoms or whatever i cringe
okay it's cringes fought to be like all i thought i fought for freedom i fought
for freedom
it's it's unbelievably inconsistent with the other statements that he's made
about his service, specifically in private, when he was, you know, a redditor.
And I suspect it's because he wants the win in election rather than, rather than showcases
like actual opinion that he fought for, you know, preserving American freedoms by going
out to Iraq.
It's unbelievably cringe.
It's also ridiculous.
I don't even think he has to say that.
You can say that you believed that that was your intention, that you believed it was honest,
you believed it was earnest, and then you felt discouraged when you actually served,
when you actually put on the, you know, when you actually put on the uniform and you went
out there and you were broken by some of the actions that you committed, you know, something
like that. I carried with me the weight of forever wars and the struggle and the alienation
that came with it. Okay, never mind. I spoke too soon. He literally did follow up with
Never mind. Okay, good because sometimes I I hear him say that like I watched his Rokana thing that he did and I was just like
It was cringe if he just lets the I fought for freedoms hang
I'm like, yeah, because he did do that with Rokana
But I'm also a lucky one spoke to soon who found his way back
Who found a living on the sea in a home in the community that offered love and
Redemption
Sometimes pre-cog is off
Demption is not just some simple or I do like this message by the way the redemption message fucking awesome banger very
Very Hassan Abihai coded. This is like a fundamental
Principle that I abide by as well in terms of redemption
And I really like the the redemption message that he talks about like we allow people
room to grow, and we give them grace. Everyone's on their own journey. I really, really like that.
Easy destination. It's a journey. I've made mistakes in my life, mistakes that I regret that I live
with, and I continue to learn from. And I'm still far from perfect. But every day, I wake up and I
I try to be a little bit better and a little bit kinder than I was the day before.
And if you give me the chance, I will be a senator for the people who cannot afford to buy a senator.
Bars, bars, bars, bars, bars, bars.
Um, I'm going to say something that's going to create a nuclear atom bomb in the discourse here.
It's gonna piss off everyone. Are you ready for it?
AOC talked about something that I think it's very important because if you recall like there's a couple people in our
flank in our side
that have been critical of grand platiner and
Or have refused to endorse grand platiner or has just been like I haven't endorsed anybody in this race, right? AOC is one of them
AOC said something that I think is
is perfectly appropriate to say about her endorsement process, okay?
Ayoze came out and said, broadly, when she's making endorsements, that she looks at someone's
track record. She even went so far as to say, just because, no, this is not the video where she says,
I haven't endorsed anybody in the race. She said, just because someone says the right things,
doesn't mean I'm going to automatically assume that they are invested in fighting this fight
just because someone has a good policy page doesn't mean that they are doesn't mean that they have
the actual background right
grand platner talks to talk well does grand platner walk the walk is a real consideration
question. I think it's a perfectly valid thing to call into question as a matter of fact.
The reason why I say that is because while Graham Plattner is incredibly solid on the
messaging side, and I like that a lot, does he have the organizing background? Because
are plenty who I have endorsed who I've worked alongside that do have that organizing background.
Right?
Yeah, AOC has quietly played the sharpest endorsement game of any dem this cycle. It was a quote
retweeted this, giving the late and perhaps decisive boost to at least four progressive underdogs
who narrowly won their primaries. Let me see if I can find the actual quote retweeted this that
that, that I, I read that I liked.
I think it was the Axios guy.
What's his name?
It was the Axios guy that said it.
So here's the thing.
I like what the grand platinum campaign spells for insurgency campaigns and
insurgency candidacies all around the country.
Okay.
I like it quite a bit.
But as far as people's skepticisms goes, I also understand that as well.
Here's what AOC told me about her endorsements in March this Andrew Solander.
Anybody can put up a website and put a list of policy commitments on it.
We have to see, is there a record on those commitments?
What is the relationship to an on-the-ground field force like?
That is 100% the right attitude to have with endorsements.
I say this now, especially as someone who does work with a lot of candidates,
who does actually hype up a lot of candidates, who has now seen some defeats and seen some successes
with the candidates that I work with. The magic zone for me is when a candidate has
good messaging, a good policy platform, but also on top of that actual work in the field
to advance some of these agendas, some of these, you know, some of these policy platforms, like
Genuinely has done some work
To to move in this direction and last but not least and this is the the most consequential aspect of it on the ground
organizational backing a ground team
When you have all of the above
You're gonna probably win
Okay
With Schroekat, he didn't have that last one, right?
I believed that he had enough experience in this space, advancing certain agendas, given
the Justice Democrats and all the work that he had done with the Justice Democrats.
I think that he had actually worked hard enough to establish legitimacy.
People did not believe that and specifically people on the ground didn't believe it, right?
That's part of the reason why he lost
Is bro for trump
That's awesome
So yeah, I I do agree with this assessment that she's making here
Biggest one you're missing is prior elected office. Progressive candidates who have won
for the most part already have a constituency base? No, no, no. Prior elected office is
good. It's great, especially if you're a progressive force with experience in elected office to
a certain degree, right?
However, like Daria Lisa doesn't have prior elected office experience, but it doesn't matter because she's an organizer. She's worked on these causes, right? Like immigrant advocacy, things of that nature.
Where's the piss-off section? Oh, I thought people were going to get mad at me for saying
this because there are AOC haters in here and then there are Grand Platinum haters
in here and I end up merging best of both worlds here and say that AOC's non endorsement
of Grand Platinum most likely comes from the fact that Grand Platinum doesn't have that
background. Like that's where it comes from. Now of course, do I want Grand
Platinum to win this fucking race? Absolutely. I do for a million different
reasons. I have the leftist reasons why I want Grand Platinum to win. Okay.
Regardless of all that skepticism, regardless of all that scrutiny, the lack
of experience that he has in terms of organizing on the ground, like the local
I say not actually or almost endorsing him and they're not endorsing him. These are all
considerations from my perspective. Having said that, none of that matters. It's all immaterial.
He's organizing. No, he's organizing now and he's doing a great job at it. But we're talking about
like legitimacy in this, in this space, experience in this space. If Grant Platter was like out there,
other than Socialist Rifle Association work that he's done, I haven't seen much in terms of like
like getting involved in his background, getting involved with local organizations.
That's it.
Even though it certainly doesn't matter right now because, you know, it's time for him to
defeat Susan Collins and he's going to get attacked a lot mercilessly, viciously.
This is so dishonest. He has a long track record of organizing on Reddit. Is that a joke? Are you making a joke?
joke. Like, is the joke that you're making that he was a poster, which is the ultimate
form of organizing is the highest posting the highest. Oh, okay, posting the highest
form of organizing. Yeah.
But yeah, one thing I will say though, one thing I will say on this side, on this front,
he's a great a-yapper.
He's gay as hell.
G-A-Y, great a-yapper.
He is a-yapper through and through.
He's great on message, okay?
Down to the optics, down to everything else, like rugged guy says all the right things.
To me, this means that this is a message that people want to hear.
That's a good thing.
I will never look a gift horse in the mouth and say, how old is this gift horse?
I will never say that.
Okay?
This is a gift horse.
This horse was gifted to us.
Okay?
Don't look at the teeth to see how far extended they are to try to figure out how old the
horses.
That's how you figure out the age of a horse, by the way, that you don't know.
As horses age, their teeth start pushing outward.
That's where that statement comes from.
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Sorry, I'm a horse girl, so I have to give you additional information.
I will stand up for you and against billionaires and greedy corporations.
I will serve you, the people of Maine, not some lobbyist or party boss.
I will be the champion for your dreams as if it were my own, no matter the challenge
or the expense.
I will fight for you.
I have been willing to die for my country.
There is nothing that I will not do for the state of Maine.
You have no
I see his attack against Susan Collins died.
Susan Collins has voted to send billions of our taxpayer dollars to fund other people's wars.
Susan Collins, how do you justify closing hospitals in Maine while using our tax dollars to destroy them halfway around the world?
Friends died.
Railing on the establishment.
Maine, I love you.
I love the states.
Oh my God.
Now, the National Pundits, the political establishment, they keep looking for that one story, that
one headline, that one moment in my life that they can define the campaign by, but in trying
so hard to understand me, they failed to understand that this is not about me at all.
This is a movement about us, about the far too many working far too hard and struggling
far too much at the hands of the ruling class.
It is not a story of my hardship, it's of our hardship.
A story of the hardship of every working manor.
People that used to be able to stern in the summertime, plow in the winter, dig clams,
and be able to send your kid off to college, but you can't anymore.
Because that hard work, it isn't enough now.
This story, the story of this.
This is a banger.
I mean, this part is a banger after banger.
Wall to wall.
good. This is what I mean when I say this guy's message is messaging. The optics of it. I know
that some people don't like the grunt force vibes. But I think his message is so fucking sound.
Excellent. A plus.
us. Very, very good. And better yet, he proves the point I've been making for the past couple
of months. Okay? The point that I've been making for the past couple of months is that
old whites want to hear this shit okay a lot of people kept telling me over and over again oh
dude uh americans are not ready for this americans are not ready for a movement like this they are
bro old whites especially are the barbers and the deborahs are ready they're saying strap me to a
missile and launch me towards the White House. That's what the
barbers are saying.
The debras, the barbers have had enough of business as usual
politics. And yet, many of you in here don't want to fucking
hear it.
You're not ready for it. That's the real truth, nuke. Look
behind him. Those are not DSA cadres chat. Those are not.
those are not comrade you know those are not the people that you would expect
that the the Maoist the Marxist Lenin is the map the third world is those are
just those are not cadres those are Padres exactly
This campaign is not about how the political establishment counted me out.
It's about for how far too long the political establishment has counted out the voices of
Every single person without the money to buy influence
But they don't know man
The Devers and Barbers are ready for a fucking political revolution, bro.
General, which is a whole different ball game.
So here's my first.
You were asked this question by Chris Hayes about the issue of is there more out there?
What else could be out there that might be revealed during the campaign?
You deflected said among other things this is between you and your wife was understandable
to a limit because for main voters and a general election the question is what is out there?
What is not in your possession that you sent to others who may have in their possession?
Now many concerning pictures and or text messages are in the possession of other people that
could be used against you.
And I'd like to.
Come on.
Give me something good.
You like come on.
You got some dick pics
She's like why won't you show hog?
Please will you show hog please
You know if there are pictures concerning pictures I
Will just say that the
the nature of
I mean, Amy and I's relationship has been blown, I would say, totally out of proportion.
Early in our marriage, we had some struggles and we worked through them because that's
what you do when you're in love with somebody.
And it made our marriage much stronger, made us, frankly, a much happier and communicative
couple.
I was single for the majority of my adult life.
I was in my 20s and 30s and I dated.
And that's in the modern age.
That's what happens.
You date people and you use dating apps
and you do all the stuff.
And frankly, that all happened long before I got married
and happened long before I decided
to run for the United States Senate.
I can just tell you, there is nothing out there
that is going to be, will run counter
to any of the stories that I've talked about openly.
entire campaign. And I know everyone continues to be like, oh, what else is coming? You know, ironically,
the whole, what else is coming? It's essentially been the same thing the whole time, which is,
I've been very open about the fact that I struggled, very open about the fact that I had a long list
litany of failed relationships for years, because I myself was not in a good place.
And then every now and again, we will have a media outlet or a politically motivated
attack and try to drag it all up.
But it's all very much within the exact same story that I've told this entire time.
Okay.
So, you say there's nothing out there that could be concerning.
And this may seem a little bit rich.
There's nothing out there.
as I make this clear, there's nothing out there that's actually concerning.
People will make everything seem very concerning because that's what people do in politics.
But you know, I think the thing about all of this is, what I find to be kind of most
curious, is this is what everyone wants to make the campaign about.
So we do not talk about the struggles of working manners.
We do not talk about the fact that I know someone in my hometown here who works three
jobs in Paysovers.
Yup.
There we go.
Finally, holy shit.
This is what I've been saying.
Dog.
That's it.
I've already accounted for the things I've done in the past.
I'm willing to bet that outside of the town halls
and outside of the mayors who voted for me yesterday,
the overwhelming majority of outsiders
who've been tuning into this race
don't know a single thing about the policies
that I'm advancing about the things
that I wanna do as a senator.
And that is precisely the point.
Every moment that we spend, where people try to manufacture outrage where there is none,
you know, I'm an imperfect person.
There's no, you know, there's, I have blemishes on my record, of course.
That's just how it goes when you have a regular working class, you know, average Joe,
who runs for office.
But every single moment that we talk about the blemishes of my track record is a moment
where we're not having a conversation about the problems that persist for mayors.
This is the whole point of establishment media and why there's so much enmity towards establishment
media.
This is the whole reason why business as usual politics is, you know, is something that people
despise.
60% of our income in rent.
I think that matters a lot more than the details
of my relationship before I ran for United States on it.
That's just me.
Okay, so then let me ask you this way.
Can you just talk about the nature of the sexting
in terms of can you call for the release of the Epstein files?
And can you call?
This is an insane line.
I think she wanted to hit a hail Mary here and said fuck it. Why not? Maybe I can tie
consensual sexting between adults to mass pedophilic rape that is a you know espionage
blackmail operation that every seemingly every financial elite was involved in which is like
that's not even I don't even know what to call that. Oh it says here that you know you went
to a boxing ring for many years and you learned how to fight hand-to-hand combat.
Do you feel like you could sufficiently call out this mass murderer who went into a school
and shot up everyone considering that you were you know a professional fighter for an extended
in a period of time. It's like those two things are not in the same planet. That's an insane
comparison to make.
All out those who have abused women and not be conflicted in any way.
Yes, of course. I engaged in consensual romantic activities with adults at an earlier part
in my life that seems like a fairly normal thing most people do. Going to an island with
billionaires to possibly assault children is a vastly, vastly different thing.
Yeah.
Okay. Do you wish that this had come out earlier and in your own way?
No. I mean, this was a very private thing for my wife and I. And the only reason it's
because we can fight in someone we trusted on the campaign who then went
and broke that trust. So it's, I mean Amy and I, Amy and I have a very strong
marriage and it's mostly strong because of some of the challenges we faced
early on in the work we did to get through it. So no, I mean I'm not
happy it's out but it's also, it's not a, again I would say it's been entirely
blown out of proportion as to what the reality of the situation is.
Mr. Plattener, good morning.
Let me ask you about the race ahead now that you won by a wide margin last night.
Susan Collins hasn't really had a close race in a long time.
Six years ago she was under double digits, she won by eight points, but there always
seems to be this idea because Maine and presidential elections goes blue by and large that this
is the time that Susan Collins is going to be defeated and yet it never seems to be.
So why do you believe this time, Maynors will walk away from Susan Collins as I assume you
believe they will?
Well, I believe they will because I am a normal Maynors and I have lots of normal Maynors
friends and everybody.
Dude, this destroys third-way neoliberalism.
If there is a victory here, you understand, like this is perhaps more consequential than
the Zoran victory and Zoran's governance.
Even though he's not DSA aligned, or he is DSA aligned, but he's not DSA, do you understand
why?
Because for years and years, the democratic establishment presented this idea of how to
who win elections. The idea that we can't go more progressive, we can't do left economic
populism because left economic populism scares voters. A similar predicament existed with
the Israel narratives. Oh, you can't talk about Israel. You can't be negative on Israel.
They will destroy you. The voters actually love Israel. Of course, ironically enough,
APEC still tries to maintain that message by trying to actively subvert democracy and
then after successfully doing so, coming out and being like, see, it doesn't pay to shit
on Israel, voters actually will destroy you like they did with Thomas Massie.
But this is a huge blow against third-way neoliberalism because they have tried so hard to present
Not people like Graham Plattner, but instead people like Janet Mills
as the only way to win the seat and have lost over and over again.
Believe me when I say this,
if Graham Plattner wins this race, which I think he will,
This will have tremendous positive reverberations across the rest of the country.
Because now, just as we point to Zoran's victory as a way to win elections in the future,
in the future, and so on,
success in governance as an
alternative that people respond
positively to, we can do the same
for purple states and red states
alike.
Publicans, Democrats,
independents, a lot of people in
the state are sick and tired of
someone who for decades now has
not really stood up for the
people of man.
Someone who will not hold the
the Trump administration to account, someone who has gotten quite wealthy while in office,
trading stocks and bonds, which is a very unpopular thing for those of us down here
that don't have stocks and bonds, someone who promised to protect Roe v. Wade and then
went and voted for Brett Kavanaugh and brought about the destruction of a woman's right
to choose in this country.
Those are real things that people see, and they bring about material realities for us
down here on the ground.
And I am fully convinced that people in this state are sick and tired of this kind of politics
as usual, like a corporatist establishment politician, which Susan Collins really is the
avatar of.
Now I will say this, the Republican Party, the people that donate to Susan Collins, the people
that support her, they know the stakes of this thing. And so they are dumping millions of dollars
into the state of Maine in attack ads against us already. We'll say it for anybody who's watching
at home, if you want to see Susan Collins beating, please go to grant4center.com and donate. We could
could definitely use that.
You're gonna link on what planner?
Probably not.
I think this is 100% true, but the B Susan Collins,
you need 65 year old moderate white leaders
who are to the right of primary voters.
Yeah, and they fucking love Grand Plattener.
Why didn't your attendant choose to remain anonymous
while repeating her tweet verbatim?
Yeah.
It's so funny and so dumb that she keeps saying this
over and over again,
implying that like policy-wise,
you have to go to the right
when it's actually the opposite.
But the stakes of this are so high because we really are looking at is this country going
to be able to go in a direction of a politics that is accessible, a politics that is representative
of regular people and metapolitics that therefore represents regular working people or do we
maintain the status quo? Do we maintain a politics?
I can't begin to explain how how selfish these fucking creatures are, by the way, like the
near attendance of the world who will literally do everything they can in their power to protect
their sinecure, okay? They will do anything in their power. They will try to tank this fucking race.
Because this race's victory is a direct shot against the the pathway to success that near attended has
presented her her her entire career.
Constantly demanding pivots to the right.
All of a sudden that argument fucking falls apart
And these guys would rather do everything in their power to force a failure here
Then to allow a Democratic majority to take place in the Senate if that majority vote comes from a guy who is a left populist
And also anti-Israel obviously does a huge huge motivator for a lot of people
that allow us for billionaires and corporations to continue to get richer and richer and richer
year after year while those of us that work for a living work harder and longer and for
less.
And I think the answer to that appear in the state of mayors, people want change.
As you've been hearing for months from your Democratic opponents and now will grow louder
with the Collins campaign and Republicans even nationally, the argument against you is
Is it all of the comments that you've talked about and addressed and said you were at a
bad time in your life, the past comments about black people calling yourself a communist,
talking about police, talking about armed resistance for the working class.
Brother, how are those things on the same planet?
poorly about black people and calling yourself a communist or saying that we need to arm
ourselves to protect ourselves do a revolution is literally not on the same zip code nor
are they on the same planet maybe not the same fucking galaxy hello god damn dude from
morning Joe's perspective it's like I don't even know what he said about black people I'm certain
it wasn't like anything at that consequential but um because because all of the other stuff that he
said that they make a big deal about is usually like in context is still inappropriate but never
like heinous right
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it was on Reddit.
I think it was literally like one of those like AMA ask a bartender thing.
Right.
And I think it was something along the lines of like, like, black people in tipping.
I think it was something about black people in tipping, right?
And it was, that was the fucked up thing that he said.
knows really funny. If he was a regular run of the mill Democrat, they wouldn't even make
a big deal about that. But he asked what the stare that came from or something like that.
Oh, okay. But, but what's really funny is from the perspective of guys like at Morning
Joe, I swear to God, him being anti-black is nowhere near as bad as him saying he's
a communist. Like they legitimately think that's worse.
They say that's who you really are and that you've kind of cleaned yourself up to run
this campaign to get into the United States Senate.
So how do you, for people just kind of tuning into this race, perhaps even in Maine, but
certainly nationally, how do you address that criticism?
Because it's kind of at the heart of the argument against you, which is you actually are that
guy from 10 or 12 years ago and that you polished yourself for the election. What do you say
to that? I would say that they really do not grasp what is happening up here in Maine because
they continue to try to make this race about me. And what they fail to understand is it's
not about me at all. It's about us. It's about me. It's about the working people of this
state.
Seeing if anybody I watched that
thug that's up in man is a
thug.
And they're trying to make excuses for
I mean he's worse than any.
Dude.
I look this is a gift.
Donald Trump coming out and saying
grand platter is a thug and is worse
than anyone else who's ever run for office is literally the greatest gift of all time
that you can give the Grand Platinum. Okay? Buddy, you are the standard bearer of pedophilic
representation in office. When you call someone a bad guy, that literally carries the opposite
weight and it causes people to assume he's a good guy.
This serves the same role as an endorsement because everything that they've said that
that Grand Plattner has done.
Ironically, Donald Trump actually has done.
And it's been found liable.
Like, shit that people speculate Grand Plattner
may have done, Trump has done.
And shamelessly supported.
So, from that perspective, that comparison,
I repeatedly told you from that comparison like when he makes that comparison on his own it is a gift
it is a gift to grand platter
human being that's having a run for office probably I don't know I don't want to say bad but I just
look I mean nobody's ever had a record like that and you'll have Schumer he goes crazy over this or
that or Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, this guy. Why are they talking about it? He said, well,
we don't know, but this guy's got a rapture. I've never seen anything like it. He's a thug.
I know thugs. I had a deal with thugs. I built a lot of buildings. I dealt with the toughest
people on earth. I dealt with worst-in-thugs. This guy's a thug. He's a low-level thug.
And he's running for it to be a senator, to work with Eric Schmidt, to be with Barroso,
who the hell do we have to do with him?
Now Rand would be very interesting with it.
Rand would figure it out, he'll put him away.
But this is a thug, he's a cheap, no good person.
And I watch these senators, the Democrats, and well, we don't really know, you do know.
He's bad, I've never seen a person like that run for office, and the guy from Texas different,
but he's terrible too, he's terrible, these are radical left communists, but I watched
this guy this morning and he was so bad, he was so bad, he was a bad guy, you know, just
a bad guy, he must be laughing up his sleeve when he looks at these idiots going like
humor well he's okay he's okay he's not okay can you imagine if the
republicans that if we had him John show
I think I really believe it if it meant losing the Senate you would not let
that happen that's just a terrible thing I mean I watch it happening it's
unfolding it's really history because there's never been a guy like that that's
ever run for office and at any level I don't think at any level and the excuses
they come up every day somebody comes forward with really proven stuff even
his business you know he's not a businessman at all his parents supported
him guys are loser other than that he might be very nice but very simply the
radicals you mentioned the Senate race in Maine are you all in in supporting Susan
Collins does she have your full support and endorsement? She does because she's a
She's a sane woman. She's not my best friend at all. These guys are. I get along well, but I have some, but she's a sane person.
And she's a person that never missed a phone in many years. I mean, she's like, had 10,000 votes. She had 10,000 votes. She never missed a phone.
Unfortunately, because sometimes she voted against me. You know, but she's a sane woman, and she's a respected person.
maybe a little different ideology than me.
But then it's so funny that he has to sit there and endorse Susan Collins.
Someone he objectively hates.
It's awesome.
He's just, he says to sit there and endorse a person that he despises.
Make no mistake, Susan Collins is voted with Trump, basically like 98% of the way.
But it's that 2% that matters for Trump. He hates that shit.
And because of that, he does not like Susan Collins, but because he doesn't want to
lose the majority of the Senate, he has to sit there and fucking white knuckle through
this endorsement process and be like, well, you know, we don't agree all the time.
As a matter of fact, we never agree, but I have to say, she's wonderful.
She's great.
I love her.
She's going to be so good.
This guy is a thug.
He's a fake.
He's a fake thug.
He's a phony.
I've made a lot of money picking out phonies.
He's a real phony.
He's a bad person.
Do you believe the women accused of the platinum of abuse, do you believe these are allegations
that are out there right now your campaigning forum recently so I was
wondering what you think about the allegations made against him about the
women saying he knew that he had a Nazi tattoo the American people are tired of
women say it Bernie say it just like you have in the past say the words Bernie
The American people are tired of women.
You have nothing to say about the scandal? Latest one?
Anything you can say, sir, would be great. We appreciate it.

Your mayor has spoken New York City mayor denies a secure perimeter around MSG for nix four was the last-minute decision
It says it wasn't due to some of the violence at watch parties
However, no one should be getting threatened attacked on the basis of wearing a spurs jersey
the frozen zone in place before the Game 4 watch party.
And separately, are you guys concerned
about some of the businesses in that frozen zone area?
How that's gonna impact them
for what's gonna be a really big night?
So I wanna go through a number of things.
The first is that any New Yorker can go
to those restaurants and bars around Midtown
across that area.
Second of all, the procedures that we put in place
for Game 4 did not have to do with Game 3.
You heard from our police commissioner
at the security briefing that there were going
to be increased security procedures
to ensure that everyone can remain safe.
The approach that we're going to have
is going to be akin to what the NYPD does
for events at this large scale,
whether we're talking about July 4th,
or we're talking about New Year's Day.
And your first question.
Just what were your thoughts on some of the violence
and was that one of the reasons why?
So the procedures for Game 4 were longstanding
as the police commissioner shared.
However, there is no tolerance
for that kind of violence in our city.
No one should be getting threatened, attacked,
That's how you know he's not a real revolutionary, bro. He doesn't want to he doesn't want to endorse ultra violence against the fucking Spurs fans
That's me I'm the guy I'm the guy was like oh, I can't believe it dude
This guy's a freaking phony dude
Some of them I voted for you because I thought you'd let me beat the shit out of Spurs fans, dude
Wow, you've betrayed the Palestinians, and now you betray the New York Knicks.
He's saying this to protect you?
Yeah, of course.
Loki.
On the basis of wearing a Spurs jersey, and as excited as New Yorkers are, and the vast
majority of New Yorkers are celebrating responsibly, those kinds of incidents are unacceptable, and
we do not stand for that at all in our city.
Should there have been maybe a little bit more of an advance warning about the frozen zone if this was going to be the plan?
I think as you heard from police commissioner Tish
She had said in advance of game 3 that there were going to be additional procedures for game 4
However, given that the president is not attending game 4
There are a number of things that are not being replicated from game 3
Some of those include the fact that now vehicular traffic can move up and down 8th Avenue that the large-scale barriers the secret service
erected around Madison Square Garden are being taken down and we're actually ensuring that this is a space where a lot more New Yorkers can go through.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Yeah, assaulting spurs man is a crazy work. Yeah, obviously it's fucking insane.
It's also expected of like Massachusetts sports fans is suspected of Philadelphia sports fans
I'm actually kind of surprised
I'm actually kind of surprised that New York sports fans are doing that now like what are you fucking?
Philly sports team enjoyers. Are you are you Philly team in George?
Yeah, you might as well say go birds actually
Anyway, this is Platinum's first general election ad.
I mean, that's beast mode to be like everyone who hates me is a pedophile.
He's look, he's running the most.
They're calling this the most Hassanabi campaign of all time.
Okay.
He's about to be like, judge me by my enemies.
Okay.
They all happen to be best friends with Jeffrey Epstein.
I don't know why.
It's also a Trump method. It's very effective. More on Collins. Oh my god, how many more?
If you reflect Maine's values, why are you funding mass agents who are ripping our neighbors
off the streets, driving them off in unmarked vans? That is not the freedom that I serve
four tours defending if you are an independent voice why do you vote with
Donald Trump 95% of the time if you're so bipartisan why are you deciding vote
to put Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court the deciding vote to defund our
healthcare and our hospitals. Why did you, why did you rubber-stamp the greatest
redistribution of wealth, wealth from the working class to the ruling class in
the history of our nation. Susan Collins is only bipartisan when it
doesn't matter. Susan Collins calls herself the gold standard of common sense.
Common sense would be manors not having to choose between seeing a doctor paying
your mortgage. Common sense would be banding billionaires from buying
elections. And it would also be giving workers the same seat at the table as
CEOs. Common sense would be a minimum wage that's a living wage. It would be
keeping our hospitals open, and our schools funded, and our kids from having to fight
in another generation of forever wars.
She'd be unafraid of upsetting the wannabe king to whom Susan Collins bows.
Susan Collins said she would only serve two terms.
She's now running for her sixth.
She has worked in politics longer than Joe Biden.
She hasn't held a town hall since I was in eighth grade.
Centres were really mad about this one because he brought up Joe Biden in a disparaging way.
They were on the timeline fucking being like, oh were you expecting booze for Joe Biden and you didn't receive him
I bet you wanted to kill yourself in that moment. Oh, maybe you should actually you still have time because you know Israel firsters
There are some very real ones on the internet. They're not in the real world. They don't exist. They are
They literally do not exist in the real world. I cannot stress this enough. Okay, Twitter is not real life
Blue sky is even less
real life, than Twitter is.
I saw a post, someone's screech out from Blue Sky talking about
whatever that lady is that wanted to do a writing campaign last
second, Della Flame or whatever.
And there were more people that had retweeted it than the number
of people in Maine that actually voted for her in the writing
campaign.
It's crazy, man.
These people are all over threads.
They're all over blue sky.
But you know where they're not?
At the fucking ballot box.
So remember that when you see something pop off on the internet, when you see something
constantly fucking droning on.
And you see nuisances over and over again when people are greatly overestimating their importance.
Remember that those people do not matter.
Heh heh.
It's true.
I'm sick and tired of this bullshit all time or blue sky reservation in upstate Maine.
Oh my god, that's beautiful.
757 people got together in one fucking neighborhood.
It was like I'm sick and tired of this bullshit.

MSG requested a permit for a watch party
for 500 and 999 fans.
We approved that permit for 999 fans.
Mr. Dolan has now decided to cancel the watch party. Now this is breaking hearts across the city.
But if there's one thing Nicks fans don't need permission for is showing up for our team wherever we may be, no matter the block or the burrow.
Nicks in five.
It's ableist to say Susan Collins has essential tremors. It's not fatal and it doesn't impede her job.
There are plenty of ways to criticize Susan Collins. I give her hell every day, but this is just ableism.
Come on DC bureau chief for the independent and MS news now columnists
We I thought we packed this up at woke one I
Thought we packed this up in woke one. I thought this was a woke one relic, you know, oh my god. She's ancient, bro
She's ancient. It's like they try to do this with Joe Biden. Remember they were like, oh, excuse me
He has a stutter really that's why he's saying ha buh-buh-buh-buh. That's that's the stutter
Because I just saw a piece of his fucking brain matter leak out of his ear. What do you mean? It's his stutter
I don't think there's any stutter that causes that to happen
Yeah, man, she's old she's old as fuck
I've held 83 town halls.
Susan Collins still using photos of herself from 2014 in the year of her lord.
I've held 83 town halls in the past eight months.
What are you trying to hide, Senator Collins?
Now the truth is, Susan Collins doesn't serve us.
She serves Donald Trump.
She serves the Epstein class.
She serves her corporate donors in the corrupt political system that has rigged the economy against us.
She does not serve us and so we will defeat Susan Cowboys.
As Kirsten Gillibrand shared a concern of the plan after New York Times before giving a role in the
frank and saga she responded by saying I think Graham showed a great deal of support in the
primary and I think that's going to build momentum and I will assure that we will win
Maine. Asked if she had any concerns about planners alleged conduct this detail in last
week's New York Times report, Gillibrand said the voters in Maine have been clear and I
think that he's going to continue to build support.
It's Joe Ver, even cute. Well, now we know. Now we know where the line is. Now we know
where the line is. For Kirsten Gillibrand, Islam is the line. Okay, that's right. It turns out
for Kirsten Gillibrand, the only thing she cares about is actually Islam. Okay.
Glad that she's come on board. Glad that she's back on the team. Okay.
Kirsten was like, oh, he's white. And that is right. White is right, says Kirsten Gillibrand.
Here's the Gillibrand responded with, well, does he face Mecca five times a day?
If not, I have no problem.
Yeah.
I have no problem with Graham Platter because he's not actually doing global jihad in the
same way that the New York mayor is.
And Susan Collins has never met a war she didn't like.
She's been supporting endless wars since I was a teenager, and I know I had to fight
in two of them.
Senator Collins, I got blown up while you handed out billions of dollars to defense
companies that invest in you.
Sorry that you're invested in.
Don't read this now, but I'm pretty sure this Graham guy has had sex before.
Stop.
I'm afraid Susan Collins, who has never had sex, deserves to be the next Senator of Maine.
I'm afraid with this new information, with this new information, there's no other choice.
We were Pills Mafia till the bitter end and now as Mainers, as people who vote illegally
in Maine, this entire community does, we have no choice but to vote for the not sex
have her in the in the Senate race and that is without a shadow of doubt Susan Collins.
Yeah, this is the literal exact discussion Plattener wants right now. Trump on Plattener,
he's a thug and they've been making excuse for him. He's worse than any human being that's ever
run for office. Making this scandal a question of is Plattener worse than a person is worse of a
person that Trump is the precise way he gets through with this with as little damage as possible,
which is a very big question. The latest news did sink is one strong favorabilities by quite a bit.
Hexeth confirms to Barak Unit 8200 Reveed. Hexeth tells reporters that CENTCOM will be busy tonight
because we're going to hit Iran hard. Iran is a chance to make a great deal. They haven't been
willing to it. They are going to have to tap, tap, tap. They are going to have tap, tap, tap,
bombs dropping on key facilities from Iran, in Iran from the U.S. it is not to restart the war
but to set the terms for a deal. Okay. Yeah, if we negotiate with bombs, if we need to negotiate
with bombs, we'll negotiate with bombs. That's not how negotiations work. God, we are genuinely
a country run by animals.
You and your friends profited, and my friends died.
Susan Collins has voted to send billions of our taxpayer dollars to fund other people's
wars.
Susan Collins, how do you justify closing hospitals in Maine while using our tax dollars
to destroy them halfway around the world?
banger, banger, banger, banger, banger, banger, um, now let's hear from, let's hear from Jake
Aukensloss, APEC funded rep, Jake Aukensloss, uh, has some choice words. Uh, if you recall, he said
that he would refuse to endorse Graham Platner. Um, let's hear what he has to say now.
I think if the Democratic party spends more time talking about Israel going into 28th and talking
about America, we are going to be very poorly positioned to the general elect.
You're such a fucking idiot, dude. Oh my god. Oh my god. You're so wrong. You could not be more wrong.
One, everybody fucking hates Israel. Two, everybody hates that we give so much money to Israel.
You literally tied those two things together in the way the Grand Plattener just did earlier.
Whereas like, why are we giving billions of dollars to Israel? They have health care.
Our politicians who've signed off on billions of dollars to Israel over the course of their long ten years tell us we can't have fucking health care.
It's a wrap. It's a fucking wrap.
Oh guys, guys, don't talk about my emotional support apartheid state doing on genocide. You're being a meanie.
Timu Jared Kushner, oh my god.
American voters want to hear about a new American dream,
about an excellent education by 18,
about home ownership by 30,
a dignified retirement by 65.
Of course we have to deal with foreign policy issues,
but I think we have to deal with what foreign policy
looks like in 28 and 2030,
not what it looked like in 2020.
And it's gonna look very different
because of the absolute catastrophe
that this president is leaving,
the next president in the Middle East,
we're gonna have to regionalize energy, infrastructure,
defense ties throughout the Abraham Accords.
We're gonna have to think about how Ukraine's drone
counter drone capabilities can help support our allies, Israel and otherwise, our Gulf
state allies in the Middle East.
We're going to think about an Indo-Pacific posture that unravels increasing Chinese belligerence
now that we've stepped back.
Oh my God, he ties it up to an even dumber message, which is we have to wage war with
China.
Look, Americans overwhelmingly are still not big fans of China.
Okay?
What the fuck, scoops?
Zoram Mdany was poised to hold his first meeting with the foreign leader this week, with the
Trump administration effectively nixed it in a behind the scenes effort that marks a new
flashback between the mayor and Trump.
Mdany was poised to meet Colombian President Petro, a fellow Democratic Socialist discussed
democracy in the Americas with the Colombians, backed out following a meeting with US officials
in Bogota, in which US officials said the event was unacceptable.
The Trump administration remains upset about comments Petro made criticizing US support
for Israel and calling on US soldiers to support presidential orders to kill during his last
visit to the US. Analysts called it an extraordinary move. He's not a dictator. His term ends in
two months. It appears that he's being punished for the crime of criticizing the Trump administration.
You know why? I know why. He actually did it to preserve Gustavo Petro's legacy. He
was like, uh, Donald Trump, here, I'll give you some tea. So Donald Trump actually doesn't
like Zoran's revisionist tendencies. And he knows that Gustavo Petro is not a mere democratic
socialist but a real Marxist-Leninist. And he was actually trying to preserve Gustavo
Petro's legacy of supporting the Marxist-Leninist principle stance. And he did not want Gustavo
Petro to meet with a democratic socialist revisionist like Zoran Omnani. Yeah. Yeah,
Best GD Pondon, man. Best GD Pondon. That's how it works, actually.
Iran strikes have begun. Explosions reported in southern Iran again. Oh, classic.
Anyway, going back to the China argument, Americans are not exactly fond of China, okay?
Having said that, however, especially after this fucking quagmire, especially after this
incident that took place with Iran, good luck telling Americans we got a wage war with China,
okay?
Good fucking luck, dude.
Americans are like, brother, please give me healthcare.
What is all this fucking warfare?
There is no argument less popular than this one, where it's like we have to maintain our
support for Israel because we have to go to war with China, and yet here is a Democrat
from Massachusetts advancing this argument like a fucking moron.
God these people hate you so much.
They think you're fucking stupid.
Anyway, he's not alone though.
This seems to be the new alliance, says Brian Tashman.
Yes, I want to send hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to Israel, but why do you
people care so much. It's not a new line. It's the not so subtle inference that you only care
about Israel because Jews live there. It's the classic no Jews, no news attitude. That's a common
Hasbro line. What is this? NBC contributor is an Israeli agent. NBC's Matt Gorman is an outrageous
way to describe this man. NBC viewers, when he has most recently been a registered foreign agent
for the state of Israel. That NBC doesn't disclose that, and that they allow him on air to attack
Platinum is exactly why normal people support Platinum and want him to take a wrecking ball
of this corruption. Gormas contract the Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs appears to have
recently terminated, so perhaps this is a tryout for a new one. Let him on air and not disclose
this is shameful. Hey, look in Maine, I think Susan Collins is going to beat him like a drum,
and I believe that before the story came out yesterday. I mean, you're right, this was an
incredible story with, you know, abuse, allegation. I mean, he's also a Republican strategist. So,
you know,
jins and infidelity. Two of the other things I took away from that, besides this, he just seems to
be a liar is the fact that a his comments that he did not dispute about someone I was canvassing
with thought the US should go to war for Taiwan and could win a war against China. DSA really is
a melting pot for ideas. Sometimes Lamal. Yes, the party line within the DSA organization on
on militarism needs to be fucking squashed like there are unironically a lot of fucking
NATO Atlantis is socked them everywhere. People who fancy themselves to be very well read
on this stuff who think like no it's actually right for America to be the the world police.
It's far better than far better than a non interventionist policy with other countries.
I mean, what are you talking about?
Like the idea that America ever moves against foreign adversaries
for some moral purpose is one of the dumbest lies that people have told themselves.
I don't understand how I don't understand how you can actually believe that.
I mean, if there's one country that is worthy of like genuine military intervention,
it's fucking Israel.
Okay.
And instead of doing military intervention in the opposite direction, we're doing
military intervention in the affirmative, where we're aiding and abetting Israel's genocide.
So that goes to show that America has no investment in being the world police or being a moral
force for good around the world. Okay? Straight up. Even when America's on the right side
of an issue, Ukraine being one of them, it's there for the wrong reasons. Okay? America's
never on the right side of an issue for the right reasons with the last exception of to that rule
being world war two and that was because fdr was a bit of a lion yes he did some fucked up things
as well but on that issue a lion with the soviets and and defeating the nazi scourge that man was
a motherfucking lion and i say the same thing about Stalin too ask rosa lugzenberg how that turned out
Oh my god, this is the highest form of LARP!
Shut up! I hate people who are like,
Rosa, Bernie killed Rosa Luxemburg is literally left book shit, dude.
What is happening?
All these fucking new, all these new leftist babies that are finally getting around
to learning about fucking revolutionary German history
are hitting lines that I have heard a million times over before.
This is not your LARP-er, okay?
you're lARPing.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
World War II. There was not enough popular support for it before Pearl Harbor, but FDR
actually did want to join World War II even before Pearl Harbor. He was a lion straight
up. FDR is the last time liberals and socialists, liberals and communists aligned with one another
Aligned with one another and created the greatest Nazi annihilation machine ever known to fucking man
Okay, that's the that's the path that we should be charting
okay
That is what we should be creating for a better future
Fascism is here
Which side are you on are you gonna be the liberals that engage in appeasement?
Are you going to be the liberals that make way for the Nazi scourge?
Are you the liberals that say, oh, if we just give them, if we appoint them to chancellor status,
if we give them a role of power in the government, maybe they'll just like quiet down. No.
Okay. Are you going to be that kind of liberal or are you going to be a FDR-style liberal?
That's the question. I'm on neither side. I hate authoritarianism. Oh, McJiven is back.
It says FDR top 10 president. FDR would put you in a fucking concentration camp. Okay?
Dummy. You can't say FDR top 10 president and then turn around and go I'm on neither side.
I hate authoritarianism while I'm literally in the process of talking about FDR sympathies towards
the Soviets. Okay. I just said, which side are you on in the war against fascism? And
you said, I'm on neither side. I hate authoritarianism. Thank God this is the strongest warrior
of the Albertan separatist movement. You guys are never going to get that wish across. Okay.
It's never happening for you, and I'm so glad, because it's one of those like self-defeating
movements where in order to believe in Albertan separatism, it requires you to have a max
IQ of like 84, and therefore when you put a coalition together of people with such low
cognitive capabilities, their movement never takes off, okay?
I'm calling you stupid chatter. Okay, disagree, but we welcome you to Alberta, man.
And for the record, before people say, oh, dude, Alberta is like, is so many chuds. We're so fucked here in Alberta. No, don't worry.
Don't worry. I think even the average Albertan hog is not as dumb as the Albertan separatist guy. Okay
Anyway, thank you for not banning this chatter free content. You know I love I love my little fucking weirdos in the chat
Come on now if someone broke into his apartment
He would quote we've essentially we raped them and it was about dominance not sex incredible
What it egregious the level statement to make and the other thing is to Megan's point. It's a further confirmation
Fuck this guy. Oh, yeah, I was on I've had it think about
So, what do you think about Randy Fine?
He thinks you need to get a jail.
He thinks you need to get deported.
I know.
In Tweet, I think still is like demanding my deportation.
He's always talking about me.
What do you think Randy Fine needs to do?
I think he needs to get on a set.
Actually, I don't mind that.
I think he should keep eating.
Let's see.
Let's see how far this goes.
Let's see how much more he can expand.
basically Israel the person he's just constantly expanding in a territory that he has no right
being inside of you know everywhere he goes he's like oh nope i'm taking up to see this crazy
the gluttony so what do you think i'm a vancouver separatist give us chinese citizenship
okay that's a respectable position could you explain the fdr rose the connection i don't
I don't understand. No, there's no connection between FDR and Rosa Luxemburg.
People say, I mean, it's true, Rosa Luxemburg was killed and betrayed by social Democrats.
So a lot of people will point to that to be like, Bernie's a social Democrat.
Bernie killed Rosa because they're fucking LARPers, okay? That's it.
The alternative that I draw as an example is FDR.
FDR is a fucking liberal, FDR is a social democrat, and he participated in the greatest
annihilation of the Nazi machine alongside the Soviets.
That's why I'm saying which side are you on?
What is this 4-0 finals record so dominant at every level of the isolation nationists
weren't able to secure the Republican nomination in 1940, cry yourself to sleep about it?
What is this? Japan invaded China? What the fuck?
Meanwhile in Japan, we're freezing all your assets. We're blocking all your trade. Your people are gonna starve.
Yeah, that's it. Hit me.
FDR absolutely did ignore public opinion to align the US against the Axis powers. Yeah, he did.
And it is precisely because of this that he's one of the greatest friends of humanity to ever live.
Be mad at yourself and your Nazi fifth communist politicians for never being able to beat him.
Yeah. The problem with that is there is no problem. I mean,
obviously, they did the right thing. But the problem with
that is that since since America did the right thing there,
they very quickly stopped doing the right thing after that.
Okay. They very quickly stopped doing the right thing after
that. And not only did they stop doing the right thing, they
constantly pointed to World War II as a reason as to why you should support whatever the new initiative was, right?
To this day, we talk about all of our enemies as Adolf Hitler because it was the one good war, the one just war.
To this day, we're like, oh, Hamas, that's Adolf Hitler.
Vladimir Putin, Adolf Putler.
The Assad-Allah movement, Adolf Hitler.
Korea, Adolf Hitler.
Vietnam, when you know, Adolf Hitler.
Afghanistan, Adolf Hitler.
Iraq, Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler.
You know, always, literally always.
Meanwhile,
meanwhile,
because of the sequence of endless militarism,
We are the ones who have literally been dominated by Adolf Hitler's.
We are the ones who have been run by Adolf Hitler's.
Ironically enough, as we ran around the world pointing to everybody else being like,
oh, that's Adolf Hitler.
We got to squash that.
That's Adolf Hitler.
We got to defeat that.
We became the Adolf Hitler's of the world.
Straight up.
I mean, look at Trump.
Look at Ninnyahu.
day hitlers.
You were mentioned to the Prime Minister of Spain.
Yeah I met my goat last time at Oxford Union.

Have you read Duskopital? Yes. Yes. Duh.
FIFA president says he's looking for a solution for referee Omar Artan. Yeah, he should resign. That would be a good solution.
Oh, did you guys see? Yeah, hard hitting news from Barry Wise's news. I saw this last night.
I said ZBS News, a new burger joint opened up in northern Israel, minutes from Israeli
towns and villages targeted by daily rocket and drone fire from Chisbella.
In Lebanon, CBS News Charlie Daggadah spoke with restaurant manager Hezkel Schweiger about
But why the Berger joint opened up now at this location despite all the risks facing
communities caught in the crossfire?
Good place to come and hang out.
It feels...
How is this fucking news, man?
Wow!
Wow, Israel invent burger. Israel. Number one.
Number one.
I'll blast her and Tehran.
Oh god.
Finally, the content some Zoomers are organically crying out for.
Puff pieces on random Israeli hamburger restaurants.
This is definitely about ratings and not ideology.
It's true.
I'm glad.
I'm glad he's saying it.
true this is very clearly this is very clearly something that the market is
demanding what is this bad husband mentioned you and it was the live show
in LA where they mentioned me you know the way it's called the liberator
Ron Klain Platinum strongest soldier has platinum self you had made this
defense law? Rockland, this is just a partisan attack. The tattoo was a skull and crossbones
that remembers fallen comrades from a service in Afghanistan. Oh my god. Oh my god. This
is, see? This is, this is interesting, okay? This is when you see the real democratic machine.
Decide whether or not they want a Republican majority or a Democratic majority.
Ron Klain, Ron Klain has decided he was a Democratic majority in the Senate.
This is exactly, listen, listen, this is what's normal.
This is what's expected.
What's unexpected is the way that the Democrats have been operating about Graham Plattner.
Okay.
I miss when Ron Klain was chief of staff, we had a good, yeah, this is it.
He's calling the U.S. Army Nazis bro. I don't think it's a deep play wait what no no
Ron Klain is defending Graham Plattner and saying that the fucking tattoo attacks are
hack you'll insane what's going on oh John Federman wants to see his dick yeah
Federman seems to believe Plattner sent photos himself to women calling him captain
dick pic. Have we become the pro dick pic party he adds? Did he send a dick pic? Ask Arthur Delaney.
He hasn't denied that, but he could clear it up and show it. Federman says,
oh, I want all you are against Israel. Let me see your dick.
And it's kind of crazy because they filmed this in New York
Even my coffee needs a coffee
I'm sorry. How can any American Jew look at the cultural output coming out of Israel and identify with it in any way, shape, or form, and even say that this is, you know, of course, the Jewish nation?
I mean, how is this possible?
some of the best writers musicians artists comedians
That have
taken their their
epigenetic
generational trauma and poured their heart and soul into works of art and
If you're Israeli you can't even get a fucking copywriter on board to write something convincing
It's unbelievable my coffee needs coffee
Are you fucking kidding me?
How is it possible you don't got one guy one dude in Israel that can write convincing copy
How is the entire cultural output of the country call out no but in different directions
Shit sounds like Grock wrote it
Unbelievable man.
Waking up for a morning run can be brutal.
But it's a price I'm willing to pay.
Because once I hit the part, pure energy takes over.
It's hard to explain.
There's a reason the world's most iconic buildings are by a park.
51 Park.
New York.
It's Aliyah.
Israel.
51.
AHHHHHH BOOM 51 PULK!
LTG, that's a great line, if you're under the age of 47,
I'm gonna ban you.
Okay, if you say my coffee needs coffee when I wake up in the morning and you're under the age of 47 you deserve to be banned from this community
I'm sorry. Okay
Holy fuck
Also gross also expected
for the record. Gross would expect it from Gwyneth Paltrow, who recently famously said,
I don't feel anything when asked if she was a Republican. She said, ah, I don't know.
No.
Wait, they're moved on.
Oh shit, they're coming after Max Miller.
Looks normally pushes back and denies the allegations.
Stay with us.
Remember Max Miller, the one who said, uh,
Rashid Tlaib is his bull law?
And then we found out, after he said that,
that he had literally boiled his wife.
with boiling water.
I love how this Israeli guy gets to announce each American attack wave on Iran now, yes.
U.S. strikes on Iran started, U.S. official tells me, Barak, unit 8200, Ravid.
Ravid.
new police videos reveal representative max millers ex-wife detailing allegations of abuse
which he denies yeah i mean he he did that shit and there's also voice memos of him
uh openly admitting to doing that so he's fucked i hope
playing in the background. It's probably a fucking ad on this page or something.
Because I don't have ad blogger on.
on.
Box is covering it.
All right, let's watch.
Barak unit 8200, Ravid has announced it is official.
America is bombing Ivan.
Those negotiations have been stalled.
Now I think the feeling is that another night of airstrikes may bring the Iranians back
to the table.
But the last few weeks and since the ceasefire have proven to be very frustrating and there
has been as officials have described to me less a ceasefire and more of a less fire.
Today, we know that the U.S. military also disabled a second oil tanker that was trying
to make its way to an Iranian port.
This was a Palau flagged ship.
It's the second day in a row that they've done so.
They've fired using precision munitions into the engineering cabins and the steering section
of those oil tankers.
We also learned from the President earlier today that over the course of the last few
weeks, over a hundred million barrels of oil have been escorted through the
Strait of Hormuz by U.S. Central Command. That had been a secret up until now.
Iranians have not had not been able to see those oil tankers moving through in
the cloak of darkness under St. Com's watch. So a lot happening right now. We
expect another busy night for U.S. Central Command and what was so unusual
today and earlier today was hearing both the president as well as Secretary
Hegseth telegraphing that these airstrikes were about to begin.
I can never remember in the past when the U.S. has said when the bombing was going to begin.
So clearly this is designed to pressure the Iranian leaders to get back to the negotiating
table.
Dana.
All right.
Did you have anything?
Anybody else have a question for her?
Let me ask you one more.
So when it comes to the last several weeks, or I guess eight weeks, we know, obviously
we have eyes in the sky.
We can see what they're doing.
So do you think that these targets are more about taking out some of their remaining military
capabilities or does it go to power plants and bridges as truth earlier today?
Well, we heard from the president that the next step in the escalation ladder would likely
be bridges, electrical plants, infrastructure.
It's not clear to me at this point what the targets are.
Some of the sites that we've heard that explosions began earlier just a few minutes ago, those
Those are some of the sites where there were radar defenses that were struck last night,
radar installations.
The reason you would go after those first is so that U.S. warplanes could get in closer.
And so it's surprising that the Iranians, frankly, still have any air defense systems
after those first 38 days of bombing by the Israelis and the U.S. military, but it does
show just how resilient the Iranians are.
we do know from leaked intelligence reports that have reported broadly in the press that
the Iranians were able to keep about half of their ballistic missile supply as well
as their mobile missile launchers.
And so that's been a great frustration for the U.S. military and for Israel that many
of those mobile missile launchers survived.
They retreat back into mountains and then pull them back out, also those drone launchers.
So I imagine they're going after a lot of those sites, and we'll just have to see whether
they've expanded that to actual infrastructure.
Jennifer, thank you so much for the quick update, and we will keep you posted.
The U.S. has launched you more airstrikes in Iran, so we'll keep an eye on all the-
those areas. So in fact, we are in the midst of this now, just minutes ago, reports are
still coming. As you mentioned, we don't know whether it is going to continue throughout
the night or whether it is just a brief bout of attacks on Iranian facilities. Remember
that Pete Hexeth, the American Secretary of State, is a lie.
I think they're probably transiting some oil tankers, like very limited oil tankers in the
night with their transponders off.
But overall, it's not enough.
Even the numbers that he's representing, even the numbers that he's talked about, okay,
even the numbers that he's talked about, Donald Trump has, are marginally in comparison
to what, like how many oil tankers would normally transit, unimpeded.
But I think a lot of it is also just like Iranian oil tankers as well.
President Trump was threatening to attack not just military facilities, but also vital
civilian facilities.
The word civilian has to be used right now, but somehow Iranian President was referring
to that and hinting that the Americans boasting and threatening to strike against Iranian
vital facilities means a sign of desperation.
He was talking about that today, saying that those facilities have to do with the livelihood
of the civilian Iranian population, and that it's not a matter of pride and strength to
say that they are going to be targeted.
So there is a lot of apprehension here, there is a lot of anticipation about what is going
to be targeted tonight, whether it is going to be purely military, whether the livelihood
of civilians is going to be targeted and affected or impacted.
We know that Iran is reported yesterday about the destruction of some water tanks in the
south if that particular type of impact is repeated tonight then this is going to trigger
more anger among the population here and more fear of the impact of the storm.
What's wrong with that?
Lemeveo, not tonight, brother, it's not happening.
You legally have to.
Dude, this is so clownish.
Are you kidding me?
Like, I can't be running around like this.
Will would beat my ass.
You
On fit
Deep in Zoro's nachos. I know that's too much. That's too much
Take that off don't be corny. No, obviously not. I'm gonna fucking
No, I'm not gonna wear a shirt underneath
If you do a fit with them, I'm not understand this shit's fire. I agree the 2010s are calling
tuck in the t-shirt y'all are fucking nuts okay y'all are straight-up insane
it's on I'm a sick child from the third world this is my final message wear
mom Donna's fan shirt to the event thank you
no I'm gonna wear the shirt I'm just not gonna wear this underneath it I put it
on as a LARP. Talking to the t-shirt and put the tie over it? Yeah, that's not happening.
touching the likelihood that everybody in the country and now Iranians deny it. I don't
know. And then there was a retaliatory strikes by the Americans and then Iranians attacked
American bases in the region. And now we're seeing this. I think that we are at the stage
where the United States and Iran, their political leaders are losing their grip on the events.
And I think that we are reaching a stage where events are leading the leaders in Iran and
in the United States.
Can you explain that a little bit more?
This is an idea that I have heard from a number of analysts for the last two months,
which was that the ceasefire, the conditions of the ceasefire, and the situation in general
was such that neither side could achieve their goals through the ceasefire.
And neither side had been able to decisively win militarily.
And that this was pushing both sides to unavoidable confrontation.
That seems to be what you're telling us.
I believe so.
If you're sitting in Tehran and you fought two nuclear weapons states and you did not
lose the war and you survived it, this is in itself a victory for you because you achieved
your political objective.
Now on the U.S. side, yes, the U.S. has a far superior firepower, no question in that,
but it did not reach its political objective of forcing Iranians to unconditional surrender.
So both sides are coming to the negotiation table with a position that they don't want
to back down.
Now situations like this, as I said, because they don't want to appear weak, they feel
compelled to respond to events, miscalculations, event misfires, and so on and so forth.
So they have to respond to it.
And now, again, as I said, we're reaching a stage where events are forcing political
leaders to only go up on the escalation ladder.
Harlan Oman, Pete Hexeth explained a very short while ago to the US media, this was
in Florida, outside of the Sankt Com headquarters that he had just visited, where he said he
have been apprised of the battle plans against Iran battle plans that are now
Can we carry the flame again? You can only carry the flame when we get the
level 10 hype train and we haven't gotten a single hype train today because no one is subscribing
so no we will not be carrying the flame Charlie Kirk Charlie Kirk we are Charlie Kirk
U.S. official says all targets that were attacked in southern Iran are in southern
Iran include air defense systems, radars, and drone command and control units.
Oh shit, we're getting some motherfucking gifties right now. How about some tacos
think of the five get this even right thank you for the five and give and he
said we are shaping the environment for obtain a more favorable negotiation with
Iran do you think the US can do that with more bombs I don't but let me give
you two indicators we don't know it was Henry Kissinger's concessions that did
that. So the role of bombing as a forceful element is sometimes exaggerated. We will
see who's going to play chicken first. And if you believe the so-called taco rule with
Trump, Trump always chickens out.
Taco.
My guess is that the Iranians may have more staying power than we do, because this is
an existential matter for them.
Everything you're talking about, you did.
And at some stage, Trump may just declare victory and say, I won. We'll go back to negotiations
and will reduce our forces and declare as he has in the past. Bro, uh, someone's got to pay for
those nicks tickets is crazy. Cause you don't understand dude. That shit is that shit broke
the motherfucking bank. Okay. Broke the motherfucking bank. Alonzo Drake, thank you for the five gifted.
Anyway, we got Jessica Tarkov, my queen, who is talking about Susan Collins.
Susan Collins loves to say, I'm pro-choice.
The Dobs decision, right?
Throwback to the states.
We have 13 states alone that have trigger laws and then where if you're in six weeks
pregnant, you can't get access to reproductive health care.
That's something that mortally offends Susan Collins, but yet she votes for Republican
nominees to the court who go ahead and put through a decision like the Dobbs decision.
Which was fine.
No, it's fine to you.
It is not fine to the women who are bleeding out, who cannot get the care that they need.
Leading out?
Yes, that's what happens, Greg.
If you go to an emergency room and you are in the middle of a miscarriage, okay.
Exist, millions of women are gonna bleed out if Susan Collins, do you see the point?
If Susan Collins wins, millions of women will bleed out.
That's what they want you to believe.
That's my point.
It is a change election where people are amped up.
Dana already talked about the huge turnout.
And if you listened to Platinum's speech yesterday, he said a couple of things that I think are
really important.
I've made mistakes in my life, mistakes that I regret, that I live with and continue to
learn from.
If you give me the chance, I will be a senator for the people who cannot afford to buy a
senator.
The Fox Five is so funny.
Platinum, I made mistakes in my life.
a Chiron. When are you going on the five? Um, I gotta, I gotta talk to Tarkov and see
if she can sneak me in one day, you know? Cause that'd be fire. If she just snuck me
in, uh, and I just showed up instead of her one day.
That's what people are looking for. They want someone in office who they don't think can
be bought off and then about Collins pointing out the 95% voting with Trump.
Where disguises her?
I kind of look like her.
We're good.
It's deeply humbling to stand here as your Democratic nominee.
News in columns may have started her career decades ago in Washington with good intentions,
but she has become just as spineless and corrupt as the establishment she now serves.
If we want to dismantle ICE, win back the Senate, check Donald Trump's power, and take
back hours as Maine goes so goes the nation together we will defeat Susan Collins
together we will win back this Senate seat
dude he makes a grand planner has secured the debt he makes Barbra's and Debra's quiver
her. Okay. I don't know what it is. I don't know how she does. I don't know how he does
it. But they fucking love his ass.
Democratic nomination in Maine to take on white people love Grand Planner.
There are a lot of Democrats nervous that this hurts their chances to retake the fucking
love his ass.
Bro, candidate that if they can't unseat Susan Collins, they'll never take back the Senate.
But, there might be other paths for Democrats.
Seeing a chief data analyst, Harriet, and is here, remember, Democrats need to win a
total of four seats and lose none.
What are the polls showing right now?
Yeah, okay.
So that is the mathematical equation, right?
They need one, two, three, four seats.
That is what they need to know.
And I think that there is this idea out there that if Graham Plattner doesn't win a main,
then it screws the Democrats.
That is not true at all.
Yes, it may make it more difficult, but they have a real path, even without winning in
main.
What are we talking about?
Well, why don't we just take a look at some polling in some key states, right?
Some state polling in GOP held seats, these are states that Donald Trump won by double
digits.
But look at this, the Democrats in the average of polls are actually slightly ahead.
Sherrod Brown in Ohio, he's up by three points, he's, of course, the former senator, lost
his seat back in 2024.
How about in Texas, which has not elected a Democrat to the United States Senate since
1988?
What do we see here?
James Tallarico, again a small lead well within the margin of error, but in the average he's
up three points.
So in two states we have polling out in the last few weeks, last few months when you average
it all together where you actually have Democrats ahead, again within the margin of error, but
up by three points in two states that Donald Trump won by double digits just two years
ago.
So this would be two Democratic pickups, one of the other opportunities according to the
Parisian market.
Yeah, okay, so we're talking about math here, right, we need a net gain of four.
This is one, this is two, how do you add in the other two?
Well, why don't we look at the prediction markets,
look at the cash prediction markets.
How about chance Democrats win Senate races in Alaska,
right, the-
What's your position on Sherrod Brown?
He's a strong labor candidate.
He's just, he's a weird guy.
I mean, he's great for Ohio, fantastic for Ohio.
He'll most likely win his race.
I can't believe he was unseated
because he was an institution in Ohio
and he outflanked the Democrats over and over again.
but like, what's interesting is he's always been an advocate
for lowering the Medicare eligibility age,
but never Medicare for All, which would lower it to zero,
right?
Because Medicare eligibility being lowered to the age zero
is Medicare for All.
He's always been a fan of lowering it ahead of everybody
else to like 55.
So if you're going to go all the way, just lower it to 10.
Lower it to 0.
Why the fuck would you just stay at 55?
I just don't get it.
They are the new Nazis.
After death.
I mean, this is old.
This is very old.
This was from the Gaza genocide early on.
Yes.
They would do boat tours to look at the destruction
of Gaza from the sea.
Last time a Democrat won a Senate race
and last was back in 2008, Mark Begich.
But Mary Patola, look at this, a 62% chance
of winning that race according to the cash prediction market.
How about in North Carolina where I think
even the most, let's just say.
VDVD glazing and thirsting over your nose, too.
The federal who saw the comfortable in a stylish,
probably also because a good figure, not sure about the price.
Masanabi should really take up a side job as a model, at least endorsing suits in
China. Chinese made products not absolutely crush Western ones in quality.
He should really show what he looks like without a suit or any clothes.
This figure would look good even in a sec. The head to shoulder ratio is pretty
good. You have your own account, but don't update. It's so lazy.
This figure looks good in anything. Dude, that's the other thing in China,
having a small head and a wide body is seen as a positive.
This is really cool, right? So cool. Go run for office.
What are you still sitting around for, buddy?
be the Chinese netizens they love my perfectly proportional head to my shoulder ratio
Experts who are the hardest on the Democrats chances think that Roy Cooper the former governor has a real shot of being the first Democrat to win a Senate race in North Carolina since 2000 and a
86% chance. So this is three and this is four when you combine it with one and two and all of a sudden we asked the chatter said
Hassanabe, I love you, but you gotta go to JJ's Hat Center in Fifth Avenue to get yourself a hat for all of your suits
Brother, what the fuck is this?
Why would I ever wear a newsboys hat dude newsboy hat? I mean, okay, this one goes hard never mind
This looks like a train conductor. Okay, I take it back
This is kind of fire
If I were to wear a news boy hat, it wouldn't be a news boy hat
It would be the the Lenin hat that looks like a news boy hat, but it's like puffier
It's got the top that looks like a chef's hat. You know I'm talking about
That's the timing Lenin was on with his suits
This the type of shit you wear to be like by the order of the pig you fucking blind is lad
Or is this the type of shit you wear when you want to say extra, extra hear all about it?
That's right. I'm wearing my Everton patchwork fluff cap.
On today's broadcast.
Oh, this is it. This is the Lenin hat.
Low key. This looks like the Lenin hat a little bit.
What the fuck am I doing, man?
We gotta do, get to the news, news boy.
Question, can Democrats get to a net gain of four Senate seats without Maine?
Well the answer is absolutely yes.
That's it, they don't lose any of their own seats, which isn't a guarantee, by the way.
There's not a guarantee, but we'll leave that aside for a moment.
Yeah, that's the linen drip.
Yeah, he was rocking the fuck out of that, bro.
Yo, he looks so kuduguz, he's not even funny.
He's crazy.
This motherfucker was turkic.
I swear to God, he was turkish, dude.
What is this?
No more fun back to news.
Iranian official tells me that if the U.S. resumes the war, Iran will launch attacks targeting
American interests across the region.
Oh no.
To the Gulf chatters, you might have a rocky sleep tonight.
I apologize to the Gulf chatters.
We have taken advantage of the ceasefire to restore and strengthen our missile capabilities,
said Trump lacks the ability to make the decision necessary to end this disgraceful war, and
we are fully aware of this reality.
The official said the reports that Trump has been waiting for two weeks for Iran to respond
for his proposals are spin. The reality, the official said, is that the basic outlines
of a deal were in place and Trump disrupted the agreed upon negotiating framework and
made new demands. From our perspective, there's absolutely no possibility of responding to
it as it falls outside the framework of negotiations, the official said.
And this emits American strikes on Iran, so I suspect they're going to fucking strike
back.
Trump acting as if the U.S. is escalation dominance or at least does not think Iran will
respond the way that would hurt most, blowing up G.C. oil refining and LNG infrastructure.
Will Iran take out another 20% of Qatar's LNG trains or Saudi refining infrastructure
to demonstrate?
I mean, I don't think they will, they haven't.
But I don't know, don't ban, please?
Wait, why would I ban you for saying that?
I did see the Talerico ad.
I retweeted something about the Talerico ad
that I agree with.
So Republicans have gone completely out of control
with the AI ads, right?
in white
they basically made a trump along or citizens for sanity is dropping a six

generated james i was singing a trans kids rendition of favorite things
boys in white dresses with blue satin sashes
girls dust with hormones till they grow mustaches changing the gender of all
all your offspring
these are a few of my favorite
things
uh...
And this guy said, I mean, if we're going to do this,
why not just buy ads of Donald Trump on video saying he
wants the rape kids or whatever?
They want to play the game.
Let's play the game.
I mean, actually, like actually, straight up.
I mean, what are we doing?
Like, who can play that game?
I mean, this should be illegal, but like, hey, guys,
I'm going to be honest.
I don't think Ken Paxton, the attorney general of Texas,
who is benefiting from that ad is going to prosecute the PAC aligned with Ken Paxton
for putting out said ad.
So not really much you can do there.
And I certainly don't believe that the federal government under Donald Trump's authority
is going to prosecute that ad.
So we're kind of shit out of luck.
No glaze, but you are the most moral streamer. Thank you. Just like Israel most moral nation here
Okay, so you just identified four races are there others? I mean how many places is there say a puncher's chance for Democrats?
Yeah, okay, so we talked about one we spoke about two we spoke about three we spoke about four
That's the neck gain of four
But if we wind out the map right a puncher's chance at least a 20% chance that the cowship prediction markets people putting their money
where their mouth is, in terms of Democrats winning at least a 20% chance.
I can't take this seriously, bro. The Calci shit sucks so bad.
Calls for calm have gone unanswered. Yeah, there was a stabbing that took place in Belfast.
And of course, the British came out in droves and did an anti-immigrant pogrom.
brother erupted across Belfast on Tuesday following a knife attack in the city the day before.
A man in his thirties has been charged with attempted murder, but the fact that he had
claimed asylum in the UK has fueled anger.
With calls on social media for people to take
Bro, don't call the Irish British. You're gonna get killed.
No, these are not Irish people that are protesting.
These are the Protestants who larp as though they're British.
Notice the flag?
This is the north of Ireland. It's Belfast.
I've been there. It's beautiful.
Unfortunately, the city is chopped in half by what is known as a peace wall, which is
not dissimilar to the walls that you see in the West Bank.
There's still people with sympathies to England, which ironically the British do not even reciprocate.
in the north of Ireland, refusing to recognize what time it is.
To the streets, shed even by Elon Musk, the owner of X. Across Belfast, buses and shops
were set on fire, and bins dragged onto roads to create makeshift barricades.
Over there is a group of people blocking the road surrounding a vehicle that had been
satellite and it is just one of a number of similar scenes we've seen in
belfast tonight on tuesday night the police advising people here not to go
any further it's not safe tensions in the city above of course
course though the wannabe brits would behave like israelis the wannabe
brits who are also pro-israel pro confederacy pretty much on the wrong
This side of every political issue historically would be on the wrong side of this issue as well.
It's exactly what community leaders had hoped to avoid.
There is no excuse whenever anger is turned into hatred.
And we in Northern Ireland should, above all things, know the dangers of how, whenever that happens,
People start to see their neighbor and their friend as their enemy.
As darkness fell, homes were engulfed by flames.
Distraught residents led out by the emergency crews.
The unrest comes amid wide attentions following a separate case in England,
where 18-year-old Henry Novak was fatally stabbed by a man who had falsely accused him of racism.
And as he lay dying, it was Novak.
Yeah, I don't think the average prod in the north knows where Israel is to be honest. They just know we support Palestine. So they do the opposite. Yes. No, no, literally. That's
Unironically the case.
Back who was handcuffed by the police, an image that sparked outrage and triggered rioting in Southampton, where the murder took place.
I just wanted to say a few things about the riot in Belfast, I was like, because if my
comments are anything to go by, people seem to be very confused about what's going on.
First of all, these people are not Irish, or at least they don't I've been, you see,
to the chatters who were saying, Oh, he's on your wrong.
Don't say that.
don't fucking test my my my knowledge of of Ireland.
by community leaders. Don't say Northern Ireland. North of Ireland. Those of us who
grew up here or who have spent any real time in Belfast when they saw the flyer
yesterday advising of the road closures, they knew exactly what was going to happen
last night. See on the bottom of the flyer there is a sentence that gives it
all away and the sentence says all businesses are to close by 5 30 p.m.
no excuses. So this is not a suggestion from group of
protesters. This is an order from community leaders. So
whilst the streets of Belfast were full of masked men and
youths, hunting people of color on the streets of Belfast
last night, burning out cars and houses, attacking people in
their homes, having small children fleeing into the back of
police landrovers that escape attacks from inside their own
community. There were also many people in Belfast
hunkered down, hiding in their homes. There are many people in Belfast who do not support this,
do not condone it, and would denounce it if they felt safe to do so. Despite that sort of
unsaid threat, there is a responsibility in these communities to call out this behaviour
and to say not in our name. I grew up in East Belfast and the racism that is embedded in some
of those communities is nothing new to me, is part of a hangover of occupation and invasion
of the British in the Ireland. I cannot imagine what it's like to be living in East Belfast right now.
Absolutely horrifying and terrifying to witness. Solidarity with everybody in Belfast who was
fearing for their lives last night. Absolutely horrendous carry on.
In Belfast there was heavy police presence trying to contain the unrest.
But tensions over immigration are not likely to fade any time soon.
The anniversary in which Al Jazeera-
Dude, Irish people are the best.
Bochests erupted in Northern-
Irish people are some of the best people.
Okay, definitely peak white people, straight up.
These people who are doing this shit are, are, want to be Brits.
Okay, they want to be British.
Still.
which is insane.
Ireland yesterday after graphic footage of a stabbing attack in the capital
Belfast was shared widely online. A Sudanese man has been charged with
attempted murder following the attack. Right-wing commentators and online
critics including billionaire Elon Musk posted about the attack and they call
for protests against immigration hours before the violence erupted.
NPR's Fatima Al-Khusseh reports from London.
One video shows a young boy and his parents being led out of their home by firefighters
as houses and cars burn around them.
A bus was also set on fire and footage shows masked men setting garbage cans alight.
Politicians had called for calm after a video of a stabbing attack in Belfast circulated on social media.
Northern Ireland's First Minister Michelle O'Neill said that groups of masked men were
burning families out of their homes and called it outright thuggery.
And she warned that there were dangerous attempts to exploit the stabbing attack.
The violence erupted hours after right-wing commentators from England and the United States,
including billionaire and ex-owner Elon Musk, had posted about the Belfast knife attack
and called on people to protest against immigration.
That's from Al-Khazab, NPR News, London.

was clear to see.
I've lost a home here.
13, 14 years out here and that's gone.
The house is wrecked now.
The whole house is completely destroyed.
It's gone flat the bottom.
What's your message to the people who have wrecked your property?
There's a lot of them.
One in the room.
One in the room.
I understand they're all angry.
No they put.
I just lost a home.
The boys just go to bed.
I have two boys in the one girl, it was a terrifying moment that I don't know how I could describe
the moment the smoke was coming in, the alarm was on, on, on constantly on and I don't
know what to tell the kids.
Nobody deserves any of this at all, they're just taking us back 50 years, only they're
putting a different aim on it, they're putting racism on it.
By leaders here as outright thuggery all this was sparked by the attack on Stephen Ogilvy on
Monday night. In court this morning it emerged the victim in his 40s lost his left eye. In a
statement his family condemned the violence that followed. We want to make it absolutely clear they
said that overnight unrest is not welcome and peaceful protest is the only way forward. The

People are rightly sickened by the horrific attack

As you have just said, the man arrested
has been in court in Belfast this morning and charged.
We are united in calling for calm and determined to restore order,
support the police and all those on the front line,
and ensure that justice is done.
We know the suspects arrived in Northern Ireland

The First Minister of Northern Ireland
not wanting to be drawn on worries
about migration over the border with Ireland.
I think there's a lot of misinformation out there
in terms of immigration. Of course immigration needs to be controlled. Of course we need
to have control over borders. There's no country in the world that doesn't have control
of the borders. But I want to see an immigration system that is both enforceable, that is
human rights compliant, that stands up to international standards. That is something
that everybody can understand. But I think that's the debate for another day.
It's understood that 27 people have been made homeless in Belfast because of the violence.
foreign nationals were targeted, the focus of questions in the House of Lords.
I don't think any of us will ever be able to forget the image of a nine-year-old child
and their family being put in the back of a land robber to be rescued from violent racist
thugs who were seeking to undermine them and to undermine their very sense of belonging
in a country that many had lived in for decades.
What led to this destruction, the core reasons behind it may well be far bigger than Monday
night's attack alone. Regardless of that, Belfast is holding its breath with a warning
to those intent on further violence. Anyone attacking any community can expect prison.
The message from the judge in court today, one he said, should be sent out loud and clear.
Damn white-ed sky knees in Belfast. They were mobilizing young, angry men who
were waiting for an excuse to commit violence and as you can see they certainly did that.
Sounds quite organized. I guess I've misunderstood you that they were all dressed similarly and
all wearing balaclavas. I mean that speaks not of something uniquely thrown up by the events of
the last 24 hours but of links with Northern Ireland's longer history. Yeah, this is a
a loyalist area that we're in. And I saw some of the messages that were being pumped out.
And so, yeah, it is it is loyalists that are doing this shit. Of course it is. Why you
bait us like that bait you like what? Why isn't it anyone called it a terrorist attack?
Is it right when reactionary is doing it?
The suit color is fucked up your lighting, I know.
Social media, before the protest.
And they asked all people who were attending to dress all in black and cover their faces and wear clothes.
Very interestingly, James, I obviously came here last night expecting this place to be surrounded by police.
it by place. When I got here, I couldn't find one police officer. They did steam in though,
when the firebomb started going through the windows. You can see here the consequences.
Why do you say north of Ireland and not northern Ireland? Because I don't recognize a separate Ireland.
Because Ireland is one, a united Ireland.
I don't recognize the British occupation of that all police riot vans they raced up this road
and they knew better than to get out the police vans but the mob just turned on the police vans
they started snushing up the wind screens they started tearing off the wing mirrors and then
minutes later the vans had to retreat and abort their mission so even the police couldn't get
Anywhere near this they were just completely overrun by all the rioters
They were checking cars for minorities
It's not like it's...
This is Lendricks Street in Belfast, which has taken late last night, which is highlighting
the scale of what was after.
Children, hold from their homes and put them to the back of their homes.
Children, put up on this.
I have been having a conversation with the owner of that property, the occupant of that
property, who had to make an escape out the back. She says there were children here. It
was a terrifying experience. She is from Ukraine. She has fled war in Ukraine and seemed fairly
okay actually about what happened here, about what she endured, given her circumstances
of where she has originated from. But let's have a listen to part of that interview now.
Someone said like the fire opposite to mine and fire and then like it'll like kind of blow up because of the cars in between
You know
Yeah, and like my front door was on fire as well
I mean the house inside isn't that much. It's more like the front of the house
And were you in the house at the time?
I was in the house with my dog and I had to like escape to the back door
Let's just be ready over and watch the whole house go up.
How are you feeling about that?
I've lost a homie. 14 years out here.
And then it's gone.
The house is right now. The whole house is completely destroyed.
It's going to start at the bottom.
It's literally all gone.
Did you see footage of, I mean, you were standing across the road, watching it happen?
The car was here even before it went up.
I was over there calling.
I was seeing them laying there, they're trolling.
I said, this is my house. This is my house.
And now it was going to catch fire.
So they were setting fires to the car, but then clearly then...
And then that one there, and then it was the red one.
It caught fire the whole house.
I was like, I'll just block something out.
It was actually the door when I first,
and then the next day away, I was gone.
Was there anyone in the property that told you?
No, no, no, no, Papi's completely empty, no.
As he says, I was still in there watching.
And that's he told them before they let the fire out.
He says, it's my house here.
I'm sure they didn't care anyway, did they?
What's your message to the people who have wrecked your property?
I understand why they're angry and all that
Bro, that's crazy. You're literally staring at the the fucking
Havoc that they cause and still going yeah, I get being mad and stuff
You know, we yeah, we got to deal with the whole problem of of having
The whole issue of having migrants in our communities, but maybe it's a bit too far.
So actually yesterday last night was a very bad moment of my life again saying whatever
happened I was in my house with my children.
I mean that's like looking at a bunch of fascists doing a program and then and then taking ownership
over their actions, but saying they went a little too far is actually crazy.
I don't understand what compels them to do that, but I respect the chud fit for the game.
It's not a chud fit, dude.
And what do you mean?
I'm wearing a mom down at station.
And the smoke came in.
And then we were obliged to switch off to close the window to prevent the smoke going
in.
And then my kid started to ask me, Daddy, what is the smoke coming from?
And that was smoked from the bus.
from the bus which was burnt yesterday.
And did you know at that stage from the bus or was there confusion
amid that moment as well?
I knew that the station which was in the city,
I didn't know that already the bus took fire.
I didn't know how to tell the children,
my children, half two boys and one girl in the house,
they saw the smoke coming in.
I couldn't know what to tell them.
And you know, this is your street here nearby,
It's like something, as I say, from a war zone.
I mean, how are you feeling about this?
This must be really emotional for you.
It's horrific.
It's terrifying being on the street at this time.
And it's like a war zone, as you can see.
But there's no justice to what we live.
And unfortunately, you see, myself,
I am sorry for whatever happened.
I sympathize with the family,
and I pray for the recovery, for the victim,
but we don't support violence.
And my call is to see if we can be together,
live together, and support each other
instead of fighting against each other.
What I saw was a community out of control.
I saw young men just grabbing cars
and hopping them over and burning them.
I just seemed randomly to just pick a particular car.
I don't think I knew who the owner was.
and then go on to another car,
and then the flames got worse and worse,
and then your fear was that the houses
that were now burning, there was people in those houses.
And while some of us were trying our best
to try and keep a cap on it,
and people would stop doing it,
you didn't feel as if you were being listened to.
Took me back to an experience in my childhood,
where Catholics were burnt out of the street I lived in,
not far from here.
It took me back to people who lived in their own houses,
just, you know, being in the normal things in life.
And for them being Catholics in a Protestant area, they were removed.
The same thing was happening to people here.
Here we were in 40 years later, where people just living, wanting to make a life, wanting
to contribute to our society because they were different, being burnt down in their
houses and being removed.
So it was a chilling echo to the past.
They weren't being targeted because of their immigration status or any other facts about
them.
They were being targeted because of the colour of their skin.
to me is wholly unacceptable. Why do you think it is happening? Because if you agree with
Nigel Farage when he says the vast majority of people on the streets were not far right,
were not extremists, they were just... What is this like moderate wing of fascist shit
that we've seen so much from people living in the north of Ireland that happen to be
Protestants. Why are, why are the Protestant population either Omega Hitler or the moderate
version where it's like, well, you know, they're all criminals, but you shouldn't Molotov cocktail
their homes. Why is there not a single person who's just like, yeah, this is really fucked up,
except for that one guy who the one guy who was like, we've seen this happen, the Catholics in
in the past, it was really fucked up. Like, for every one normal, for every one normal
Protestant guy, there's like 100 spiritually Israeli Protestants in the north of Ireland.
It is so fucking strange. What compels you to behave like this in 2026?
it doesn't make any sense frightened does that include the people who were burning houses
who were burning cars who who in the end forced people who have been living there for two
decades to have to leave their home in fear no it absolutely does not there were people
who turned up last night who were equipped to riot they came wearing masks they came
wearing dark clothing that would be hard to identify because they know how the
PSN I have identified rioters in previous occasions. So they came with the
intent of causing violence. There were social media posts telling people in
certain neighborhoods to turn off their ring doorbell, to turn off their
CCTV cameras so that nothing would be captured. People were
being abused, who had a phone there. People who were there with the media
were being threatened. This was a concerted effort to attack people.
Other Protestants are an occupying force in Ireland, I know, but it's not in 2026.
In 2026, the Protestants, I saw it with my own two eyes, okay?
In this day and age, the Protestant movement and mobilization
has basically turned into a group of people that like England doesn't want.
Okay, they're just larking.
They're larking as fake Brits when the British don't even want them.
So they're just fucking stuck there as a settler outpost with not a lot of support from England anyway, okay?
That's what I mean. It's like nobody likes them. Just be fucking Irish at that point. Just give up
They will kill you not larping. I mean, I I know I'm just saying it doesn't make any fucking sense
They're also incredibly poor, that's the other thing, like Belfast is very poor.
It's beautiful. There's a lot of great history. And it's some of the coolest, like if you think Irish people are cool across the board, the Irish people living in Belfast are the coolest. Okay, straight up.
I have a lot of love.
I like them more than I like Dublin.
But
But, I just can't comprehend how you would still at this point not recognize that, you know, you're working class, they're working class, the British don't want you, you might as well be Irish.
Inside the riot they filmed themselves?
That's just the entirety of the North, though.
Also in the U.K. in general, the poorest person in the Republic is six times better
off than the poorest person in the U.K.
What did my boys say, NICAP?
We stand in solidarity with everyone who was impacted by violence, intimidation, threats,
and forced displacement in Belfast yesterday.
The people behind this do not care about their community and are motivated by racism.
Their aim is division.
As people from Dairy and Belfast, we know only too well that the hatred behind driving families
from their homes, and the utter hypocrisy of politicians or people in distant lands agitating
for division amongst the working class.
Yeah.
So fucking annoying.
In their homes, those people were racist.
The people that they were targeting were not being targeted because they had done anything
You talk about outside that act as Elon Musk shared lists on X of low. Oh, yeah, that's the other thing
Elon Musk is a fucking international war criminal, dude
Like it's not enough that he's fucking America up. He's also fucking Europe up as well with Twitter
He's just straight up using Twitter as a weapon
that's funny, don't say it.
Cations where protests could take place, he retweeted Restore Britain leader, Rupert
Lowes post saying millions must go.
How dangerous is this?
What can you do about it?
It is beyond reckless.
It is beyond reckless.
Yeah, by the way, not banned from the UK.
Not banned from the UK, by the way.
How interesting.
Elon Musk could travel to the UK right now, tomorrow,
and no one would say a goddamn word.
I, on the other hand, am banned
from the fucking United Kingdom.
Elon Musk is not.
Think about that.
Think about that.
Where's the labor government's priorities?
How many riots does he have to incite
until the British government decides,
okay, maybe he is at danger,
is the ever-present danger to safety.
And particularly in a society like ours
where there is this history of division and the violence,
we are trying to move forward together as a society
to make a safe society for everyone.
And in doing that, they are sticking labels,
are sticking targets on innocent people's backs. How can the grotesque attack on one
innocent man on Monday night justify grotesque attacks on other innocent people last night?
These were children in many cases that had nowhere to sleep last night. I met with one
young woman yesterday who was in despair. She was sobbing and physically shaking because
she was so frightened that because she was from Sudan originally, that she and her mother
would be targets of these people because the suspect in this case was Sudanese. What message
are we sending to people if we say that because you show the same skin color, then you are
as guilty and culpable as the individual who did it? That is not how justice works.
Ian Huntley believes the second time is the time when it comes to winning a key state
assembly seat and Becker
Brooklyn. This is me takin
to deliver more when I se
struggling. The high end
is challenging and comei

unaffordable and we have r
people are experiencing e
why I'm doing this. Zimmer
says Huntley lacks any re
to the district. Some people don't want to start from the beginning. They want to, you know,
co-op on the progress that has been made. And, you know, I believe if you want to run for office,
you should run for office. But I do think that you have to have a resume. You have to have some
receipts of having served the people. Hotly is a member of and is endorsed by the city's chapter
of the Democratic Socialists of America. The political organization is looking to grow its
ranks in central Brooklyn where the DSA already has a foothold through officials like city councilman
and Chief Senator Jabari Pressport.
Our politics really try to embrace.
Well, Neva's already drunk.
Caroline's not happy with them.
Yeah, I'm not surprised.
We were supposed to leave 11 minutes ago
and we pushed her back to 7 p.m.
So.
It's a multiracial working class.
The candidates running in Bed-Stuy are from Brooklyn,
are from Bed-Stuy, have built lives there.
The DSA has been criticized for struggling
to connect with black voters and their issues, especially around homeownership.
But a recent dispute over an eviction case in the neighborhood has offered an opportunity
to bridge the divide.
The same market forces and the same crooks and capitalist cronies that try to steal from
tenants and to try to exploit tenants do the same thing with black homeowners.
Huntley and other DSA candidates have rallied around the issue showing support for candidates
in state committee races or district leader positions.
The push has unsettled long time leaders who feel the democratic socialists remain out of touch with the community.
We have outsiders who are basically trying to determine who should be the leaders of our community.
Henry Butler is a district leader in the area who believes that the move to challenge him
by candidates who have support from DSA officials is racist.
You can always find a puppet that will do your bidding.
That has always been the way...
As you guys know, DSA's latest, I think there's like one white guy.
That's it, literally. I think Orkin might be the only white guy in the DSA slate, right?
There's literally one.
It's so funny. Two? Who's the other white guy?
Yeah, the DSA slate is all Latino black Muslim straight up one one white guy. I'm pretty
sure. Eli is not on the DSA slate. He's just endorsed by DSA back colleagues. Matt Bennett
and David from are still mad. The DSA left. So, Caitlin says, Caitlin asks Abdul El Sayed
about why he's a racing old post included it doesn't to be championing defund the
police is that my colleagues at K file here at CNN found that you had deleted
thousands of old post on on X on Twitter sometime before launching your Senate
campaign. Some of those posts included messages that said that championed the
defund the police movement described the place standing off.
Why are we treating people saying defund the police at the peak of black lives
matter, as though they're like saying the N word and they deleted like bad posts from
the past.
Isn't that a little fucking nuts?
Like candidates normally go back and like delete slurs that they've said on social media.
Okay.
And I find it very strange that like we're literally looking at, we're looking at the
background of some of these wonderful candidates that are running right now.
like, well, it says here that you were too based, says here that you were in favor of
dramatically restructuring the funding vehicle for the police and hopefully tackling some
of the root causes of crime.
And I think that's basically the same as, you know, saying a slur.
Like, how did we get to this point where the media is so overwhelmingly reactionary that
We're pearl clutching about a candidate's past statements on an issue like defund the police like they so
successfully bastardized what this meant they so successfully created an environment where like even if you
were in support of this at the time like you need to it should actually tarnish your reputation.
This is part of the reason why I, at the time, said defund the police is not a bad statement.
It's not a bad slogan, but we are allowing it to become a bad slogan by not accurately
explaining what it means.
It's the equivalent of, with Black Lives Matter, when people were like, oh, Black Lives Matter
means all lives, or Black Lives Matter means white lives don't matter, and people were
like, no, it just means Black Lives Matter.
Right?
And they stood firm on that message and people understood what it meant, whereas with defund
the police, everybody panicked immediately.
The Democrats were the first to come out and be like, this is communism, this is bullshit.
And now anyone who's ever said defund the police is being treated like they've, you
know, done a hate crime in the past.
so strange because like to me it's reflective of how right wing society has become because
nobody ever calls into question a fucking politician that says Muslims are not preferable
to dogs I would rather substitute all Muslims dogs no one's calling into question politicians
that are literally running right now on mass deportation of all black and brown people
And we're instead doing this shit on the left side where we're like, oh, well you said you've on the police
I I it's it's reflective of how
How far right we have swung as a society?
And yes, it is caused by dem complicity
Democrats had no investment whatsoever in ever holding cops accountable. That was clear. They
wanted to keep giving cops more money. And, you know, they very quickly first try to neuter the
movement, then they very quickly attacked it and try to position themselves as being antagonistic
to this pine the sky idealism, you know, endless budgets to law enforcement, basically a domestic
occupational force, occupation force. No accountability whatsoever. What is this? Oh, yeah, I mean,
it's classic. Classic. This was peak woke. It's a shame it has to even be stated but
of course Black Lives Matter we fucking love you keep fighting the good fight so everyone
understands this. I want everyone to feel safe, respected and have all the great opportunities
to do great. The replies on this really give good insight on how much fact checking is
being done on X these days. Most of the replies are saying he changed Lomifeo. Literally not
a single person even verified if the tweet was real. Cringe. Wait, the tweet was real.
I'm not even going to delete the main reply. That's just too good.
Armies, why did you take this post down?
Let me just speak to a vision for public safety that I think all of us can agree with.
I think all of us want to be safe. We want to know that we can get home safely.
want to worry about being the victim of somebody's violence, whether it's from a neighbor or the
state itself. And we got to get serious about the kind of policing we need. And for too long,
we have not invested in the kind of recruitment and retention and retirement that has people
from local communities wanting to join in and be a part of keeping public safety. But also for too
long, our answer to every problem has been someone with a gun. And that's just not always the right
answer. I think we can invest in things like community violence intervention. I think we
We so good God
Love this man, dude my fucking goat my king
He's so goddamn good
Boom stood firm said the part said exactly what he means respect can invest in things like behavioral response
And that has earned broad agreement whether you're talking about folks in law enforcement
Or you're talking about folks who have been long thinking about how to reform our system
So right now, I think we've got to get past the past and start thinking about the kind of future where we're actually answering the challenges that people have in their communities
with the right kind of resources. And I learned that as leading Wayne County Department of Health, Human and Veteran Services.
I had to rebuild the juvenile detention facility working alongside law enforcement.
So would you say you feel differently than you did before?
Well, look, at that time I was a professor. I was teaching at the edge of criminal justice and public health.
At this point I'm running for yes, I'm fucking hammered. Oh
Did I get Tim's we got the beef and broccoli's the butters we got the butters bing-bong
Come in my city come in my city don't have a drink with me before the game are you crazy
