[00:13:24] Welcome to the Hassanabe broadcast, the broadcast where we discuss international commerce, international
[00:13:32] shipping lanes, and all things import and export.
[00:13:38] Ladies and gentlemen, boys, girls, and MBS, it's a wonderful day today.

[00:14:13] day where I am not living in the beautiful nation state of Singapore, the nation of
[00:14:18] of my dreams.
[00:14:22] Maze in blue for Michigan.
[00:14:23] I didn't even think about that.
[00:14:24] Some people are saying Spike Spiegel fit.
[00:14:28] Some people are saying Michigan fit.
[00:14:33] Honestly, I probably should wear this in Michigan.
[00:14:37] This is actually gonna,
[00:14:38] I'm gonna wear this outfit in Michigan
[00:14:40] because it's Michigan colors.
[00:14:41] There's some devastating news that I have to bring up immediately at the beginning of
[00:14:51] this broadcast, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:14:55] I don't know how to explain this to you, but I don't know what to tell you about this,
[00:15:03] and it brings me no pleasure to tell you what I'm about to tell you, but a new poll came
[00:15:09] out.
[00:15:10] No, not about Abdul al-sayed and not about Francesca Hong, a new pull came out for Toby
[00:15:18] Durden and it's not looking good.
[00:15:23] It's not looking good for our boy, Toby Durby, Larry wrote in that goddamn yellow belly
[00:15:29] carried there in that yellow belly coward is at 62% in there in the primary
[00:15:47] where is turbo derby is that 30 tuber here and we hate you Larry Rodin
[00:16:02] but at least we got that other cattle thief Dusty Johnson out of the equation
[00:16:09] out of the playing field
[00:16:17] Why?
[00:16:20] Turbidin' us to look up
[00:16:23] Turbidin' do not curve the frame
[00:16:27] Turbidin' first for thuggers pearl
[00:16:30] Turbidin' do not earn a horse no more
[00:16:33] Turbidin' turbidin' run and forget my births of dog
[00:16:39] Turbidin' turbidin' your kind of pun on turbidin'
[00:16:46] Oh
[00:16:58] From the turbo campaign new update from the turbo campaign fake pole alert says terby
[00:17:05] The paid off media has attempted to influence the outcome of this election with a very fake pole
[00:17:11] Oh, Kelly land said two years that Dusty Johnson would win the primary and he didn't even make the runoff.
[00:17:20] We destroyed Dusty Johnson in March.
[00:17:25] Kelly land put out an Emerson quote unquote poll that said Dusty Johnson was beating me by 10 points.
[00:17:33] We all know how that turned out.
[00:17:38] I'm going to run it back one more time.
[00:17:39] I received 31% in the primary with four candidates in the race,
[00:17:45] yet they say I'm only polling at 32% with two candidates in the race.
[00:17:50] This poll is the very definition of fake news and political interference by the media.
[00:17:58] Unsurprisingly, they use the same pollster that wildly underestimated me in March.
[00:18:04] Other polls have was leading among people who have already voted early.
[00:18:09] I wanted the primary in the landslide and with your support,
[00:18:13] I will win in the runoff to ignore this mainstream media
[00:18:19] propaganda, grab your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers
[00:18:23] and get to the polls on or before July 28.
[00:18:29] Ladies and gentlemen, if you're living in South Dakota,
[00:18:33] you got one goal and that is to make sure Terbi Derbi

[00:21:49] I don't got shit going on in my life. I didn't do anything last night. I
[00:21:54] Read a little bit. I watched a little bit of Baki, but then immediately fell asleep while watching a little bit of Baki
[00:22:02] The samurai one
[00:22:04] And
[00:22:06] That's pretty much it
[00:22:09] Nothing else nothing else happening
[00:22:11] You got to chill you're gonna chill with the snacks my guy was snacks
[00:22:19] I
[00:22:20] Was situation monitoring even after even after the broadcast brother you were on her show

[00:23:03] about to be 35. Is that place any good? Not really. So where was I? Where was I? Where
[00:23:18] was I? I woke up early. I worked out. I hit legs. I also, for the first time in a long
[00:23:26] time posted on my Instagram. You have to stop your boy accidental aura farm. Oh my God,
[00:23:35] that's so funny. Vanilla loves the edits of last night's mystery stream. David dude.
[00:23:47] I give let me see the fucking fan cam. God damn it, dude. 10,000 people saw me highest
[00:23:53] fuck testing equipment in my living room yesterday, but at least I can cross collaborating with vanilla mace off my bucket list.
[00:24:01] Yeah, David accidentally went live when he was testing some of the new gear and went live accidentally on vanilla mace stream.
[00:24:14] How was this even, how did this even happen? I assume that they've done cam-op work with the bag because we have a bunch of different
[00:24:22] bags and and a lot of different content creators use them. So I mean it's happened before I've
[00:24:28] gone live on Will's channel before and I guess the vanilla's fan base turned this into a fan cam.
[00:24:37] him. Another David Kampfer, thank you.
[00:25:06] amazing. What can I say? How are you today? Is on? How is your day or is it still going?
[00:25:14] You bring knowledge to my streams. Nice that you are still live today. What the hell? What
[00:25:19] kind of statement is this?
[00:25:27] Really disgusting hate piece on Abdul just came out. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. Democrats
[00:25:34] our Democrats literally went from we need to have more masculine figures to literally being like
[00:25:39] any kind of positive, any kind of positive masculinity immediately should be destroyed.
[00:25:45] We're just going to weaponize fake smears of misogyny against people like Abdul. It's awesome.
[00:25:51] It's awesome. Democrats keep losing over and over again, keep fucking themselves over and then
[00:25:56] being like, why is this happening? Anyway, we'll get to that and more in a second,
[00:26:01] grasping his straws, but, but yeah. You know what I feel? You know what I have to say to all of that?
[00:26:13] What gives? That's right. That's what I have to say to that. When I see these smear campaigns,
[00:26:20] I think to myself, what gives? And then sometimes when I close my eyes, Israel comes to me in my
[00:26:27] dreams. Yep. Yep. Yep. He's having him. Okay. Anyway, a lot of surprises, a lot of
[00:26:50] goofs. Okay. A lot of funny little goofs. As I was saying, I worked out and I hit my
[00:26:57] I hit my uh hit my list today
[00:27:08] had to do it for the for the haters for the lovers it's been a minute you know
[00:27:15] what I mean it's been a goddamn it's been a goddamn minute
[00:27:27] Look at that depth. Look at that goddamn dip. Suit maxing.
[00:27:39] Oh my God. I'm really that guy. Yeah, bitch. I'm outside. I've right.
[00:27:46] Copy that. I'm floating with the fire. Where has been pretty, pretty good, right? Can we
[00:27:51] We admit not only is it like age appropriate, but also not only is the age appropriate,
[00:28:00] but also kind of it's a fun new way for me to express myself and also look good while
[00:28:08] doing it look timeless while doing it.
[00:28:11] Can we can we admit that or as good as you are in a suit to sport co fits are another
[00:28:17] level.
[00:28:18] Yeah, I mean I like to I like to switch it up
[00:28:27] You see your haters taking the shipping magnate bit completely literally good because I am a shipping magnate
[00:28:34] Okay
[00:28:35] Because it's true. I am a goddamn shipping magnate and they should know and they should respect me
[00:28:41] I'm a businessman. Look at the suits peep the suit
[00:28:44] What does the suit tell you? The suit tells you this guy means business. What does the suit tell you?
[00:28:50] This guy is a shipping magnate. A business titan. From streetwear to menswear, a level up.
[00:28:59] What is this are you sending me just your own tweets what's happening.
[00:29:27] So where was I? Where was I? Uh, yeah, that's it for personal news. That's pretty much it.
[00:29:34] You know, we got a lot, we got a lot going on in the world. I'm going to get right into
[00:29:39] it. We have so much to talk about, so much to discover, so much to discuss. Obviously
[00:29:44] it's, uh, I just want to start off by saying happy national pay Israel day. Okay. I hope
[00:29:51] you guys are aware. Uh, today is, is national pay Israel day. I mean, I guess technically
[00:29:56] every day is national pay Israel day. But today, more importantly than other days.
[00:30:02] Israel comes to me in my dreams.
[00:30:04] You know, hopefully that's what Hakeem Jeffries has been saying. We'll be talking about that and a lot more.
[00:30:17] What is this? She is terrified. Look how insecure she is about leaving the room even though
[00:30:20] Hassan pretends to be cute with her. She's still full of doubt and hesitant. That's a dog that
[00:30:24] that got abused severely. He clocked it. That's Caesar Milan. He knows. He knows an
[00:30:35] abused dog when he sees one.
[00:30:49] Anyway thank you for the playlist.
[00:30:55] Where was I?
[00:30:56] Okay, let's get into it.
[00:30:58] Let's blast off.
[00:31:01] For that tweet, I guess a shock.
[00:31:06] That's right.
[00:31:08] For that tweet alone and that tweet alone.
[00:31:12] Here, so you can get a better look.
[00:31:18] Yep.
[00:31:20] Yep.
[00:31:23] She's dead.
[00:31:24] She died.
[00:31:25] You see.
[00:31:27] I hope you're happy.
[00:31:31] Yeah, no, Carla, Carla, one more, one more for the road.
[00:31:54] Yeah, free Carla, free Carla.
[00:31:56] Anyway, where was I? This is so stupid. This blast off me was so dumb. Oh my god, that's
[00:32:10] awesome. Thank you, chatters. We will be doing this, by the way. The Caddx Physics-based
[00:32:20] airline crew co-op game Dear Passengers has been announced launching in 2026 for PC.
[00:32:24] We're already working on trying to make this happen for the fear and crew, okay?
[00:32:31] IMPOSTA LINZIGRAM
[00:32:33] More details coming to light today as local paramedics are now being praised for being
[00:32:36] too late to save Lindsay Graham.
[00:32:38] TMT first responders are being hailed as quote heroes for not arriving at Graham's residence
[00:32:43] just in the nick of time.
[00:32:44] Doctors at George Washington Hospital also noting that the paramedics were fortunate
[00:32:48] to be more than two miles away when they received the call, adding that in situations
[00:32:52] like this, every second counts.
[00:32:54] The paramedics responsible however are brushing off the praise. They say they hope that their actions can serve as inspiration for the next team of first responders called to Mitch McConnell's house.
[00:33:07] Uh, Lindsey Graham's cause of death came out basically confirms that he used amyl nitrite poppers and viagra together that caused the aortic dissection.
[00:33:15] Uh, I don't. No way. Ain't no fucking way, dude.
[00:33:19] No, the toxicology has not come out and I don't think we'll ever see the toxicology, right?
[00:33:24] Did the toxicology report come out?
[00:33:27] That's speculation, no?
[00:33:30] Anyway, we'll get into all of that and more.
[00:33:35] Let me blast off real quick.
[00:33:38] Let me blast off for the one time for the terbys and the derbys out there.
[00:33:49] All right, we're talking about top Blanche confirmation folks, heated Senate confirmation
[00:34:14] hearings are taking place over a former Trump defense attorney Todd Blanche taking over
[00:34:19] the role of Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is also a former Trump defense attorney.
[00:34:26] Todd Blanche is famous for the Giselaan Maxwell side deal that he cut for Donald Trump.
[00:34:33] We'll talk about ICE to continue traffic stops or Trump demanding Trump demands ICE to continue
[00:34:41] traffic stops, dollars to Israel time, uh, as Dems are in disarray over funding, uh,
[00:34:54] Abdul Loss ad tax returns released situation monitors straight closed. Get in now, www.twitch.tv
[00:35:05] and of course we'll be using a very funny Singapore related blast-off meme today here
[00:35:20] it is, ladies and gentlemen. That's right. Because of the sudden nature of the event,
[00:35:39] Senator John Cornyn publicly requested the Toxicality Report be released due to rule out any foul play.
[00:35:43] I mean, yeah, because here's the thing, okay? A lot of people are going to be like, oh,
[00:35:51] it's poppers or whatever. But like, honestly, if you're Lindsey Graham, you go to Ukraine,
[00:35:58] okay? You go to Ukraine when Ukraine has depleted their munitions, their defensive
[00:36:05] munitions, like very openly, very famously. Russia is striking deeper and deeper into
[00:36:12] Keev over and over again. You go to a drone factory, you go to a drone factory, you visit
[00:36:19] it. There's not a lot of aerial coverage. You do it very publicly. And then you fly back
[00:36:28] the same day and you die instantly. It's understandable to suspect foul play, especially
[00:36:36] considering that we have now entered a new territory with respect to assassination of
[00:36:44] high-profile politicians. Russia obviously has always done this, at least for dissidents
[00:36:50] and the like. But Ukraine has obviously assassinated Dugan's daughter. There was another assassination
[00:36:57] attempt that took place recently this past week. And then obviously Donald Trump and
[00:37:03] Israel killed the entire command structure of the IRGC and also the Islamic Republic.
[00:37:12] There's definitely a new environment for high-profile assassinations.
[00:37:21] There's definitely a lot more appetite for it. There's perhaps a little bit more bandwidth for it,
[00:37:27] But if that makes sense, so I would expect it to be some kind of potential high-profile
[00:37:35] assassination from Russia, like we would, it's, it's definitely important for us to
[00:37:39] figure it out, especially considering that the FBI, I think was at his house investigating
[00:37:46] it to poison drone poppers, damn, can a ladybug catch a break?
[00:37:54] I mean, Russia loves killing people in the UK, though, to be honest, not crazy. No, it
[00:37:59] is crazy. It is crazy. Russia has assassinated political dissidents and has also attempted
[00:38:05] to assassinate or have assassinated, like, you know, high-profile Ukrainians in the inside
[00:38:13] of the military and inside of the political structure. But Russia potentially assassinating
[00:38:21] an American politician, that's huge. That's, I don't even think that's ever happened. I
[00:38:27] might be wrong, but Russia assassinating an American politician and an American senator,
[00:38:35] that is, that's war. It's obviously in America's best interest not to acknowledge if that's
[00:38:45] the case, right? I don't think America wants to, to now wage direct war with a nuclear power,
[00:38:53] direct war at a time when they already have their hands full with Iran.
[00:38:59] I mean, it's, it's fine as it is a, it's a proxy war, right? But direct war would be
[00:39:04] something entirely different, something new. All my Dormi live friends think Russia killed
[00:39:10] him and the admin is covering it up. I mean, that's, I'm not going to lie. That's not a very
[00:39:14] blue and non theory. That's not a very blue and non or blue MAGA theory at all. I think that's a
[00:39:20] fairly understandable theory to arrive at. Wouldn't Trump help cover it up since he seems beholden
[00:39:29] to Russia? That's one angle. I don't think that's the real angle because I think Trump's attitude
[00:39:34] towards Ukraine has shifted quite a bit, especially as Ukraine has been successfully
[00:39:39] ruining Russia's oil and gas infrastructure.
[00:39:47] Ukraine has a lot more leverage right now.
[00:39:48] So I think Ukraine is in better favor in Trump's eyes currently.
[00:39:53] So I wouldn't even say Trump is as hot on Russia as he used to be.
[00:40:01] But who knows?
[00:40:05] Who knows?
[00:40:06] I think it's an interesting story, though.
[00:40:08] I do think it's an interesting story.
[00:40:13] And we'll definitely look into it.
[00:40:15] We also got to look into this diarrhea situation,
[00:40:18] which I haven't really covered,
[00:40:21] but it seemingly is becoming a big problem.
[00:40:24] Okay, it's seemingly becoming a major issue.
[00:40:28] So we're gonna have to look at the dookie gate,
[00:40:32] the poo poo virus, all of that.
[00:40:35] Um, but, uh, yeah, this theory is so dumb.
[00:40:41] What would Russia or Ukraine get from this?
[00:40:44] I mean, Ukraine doesn't get anything from Lindsey Graham potentially dying.
[00:40:48] Uh, for Russia, it's a, it's a big fuck you for Russia.
[00:40:52] It's, uh, it's, it's testing the boundaries, right?
[00:40:58] Do you see what I mean for Russia?
[00:41:01] They're not doing so great currently.
[00:41:04] They're getting, I mean the strikes are actually hurting the Russian domestic attitudes towards Ukraine and towards the war. That is definitely clear. You've got long lines at gas stations, the government has demanded.
[00:41:24] I mean, I don't think that's a reasonable explanation.
[00:41:29] It's about leverage. It's about leverage. Ukraine strikes at Russian oil and gas infrastructure.
[00:41:40] Ukraine destroys critical oil and gas refineries. Ukraine starts successfully targeting and striking Russian tankers.
[00:41:48] Because all of a sudden, Ukraine has, Ukraine is able to successfully harm the Russian economy
[00:41:57] and create domestic chaos, okay?
[00:42:01] That's leverage for Ukraine.
[00:42:03] And Ukraine has been gaining that leverage.
[00:42:06] On the Russian side, they have to push back, they have to fight back, they have to do something
[00:42:10] to also then reassert their dominance.
[00:42:13] So what has Russia been doing?
[00:42:15] Striking a cave.
[00:42:17] over again, punishing Kiev in a way that they hadn't done since the beginning of the war,
[00:42:23] or the special military operation, right? So, for them, testing the boundaries of what
[00:42:34] they can get away with, this would be a huge deal. From the Russian perspective, if they
[00:42:38] were to assassinate an American high-profile politician, a huge anti-Russia hawk. That
[00:42:47] would be a massive point of leverage for Russia. That would be a fuck you to the rest of the
[00:42:53] world. If you can do that to America, if you can do that to an American senator, no one
[00:42:59] is safe. If you can do that to an American senator and basically have nothing, experience
[00:43:06] nothing in retaliation. Experience nothing in retaliation because America doesn't want
[00:43:13] to wage a direct war with Russia because these are two nuclear powers, there's no precedent
[00:43:18] for it. It's a stress test. It's an expansion of the permission structure for Russia, what
[00:43:28] they can get away with. This makes every European country and every European politician think
[00:43:34] twice. Because for them, Ukraine is not fighting this war on its own. It's not a secret. Ukraine
[00:43:40] is fighting this war with NATO. And Ukraine is gaining a lot of leverage by striking certain
[00:43:52] targets that they previously would never have access to. So obviously, from the Russian perspective,
[00:43:59] they're looking at the situation and they're thinking to themselves,
[00:44:02] someone's giving them this intel. It's either the United States of America or
[00:44:06] it's other NATO countries. Now of course, even if it's other NATO countries, it's
[00:44:11] very high likelihood that it's still the United States of America that's, you
[00:44:15] know, manning the ship that's allowing them to, that's giving them the go-ahead.
[00:44:19] We now know that the United States is giving Ukraine the go-ahead to continue
[00:44:24] striking oil tankers and the oil and gas refineries. This is, as I already
[00:44:30] already told you, created a lot of chaos internally, okay?
[00:44:39] So for them, for them, if they were to successfully take out an American senator, probably one
[00:44:46] of the biggest advocates for continuing the war against Russia, that's a huge deal.
[00:44:54] That's a huge point.
[00:44:55] a huge threat. It's a way for them to, even if they don't take credit for it, it's a way for them to
[00:45:03] basically say, you better think twice. You better think twice before you continue your partnership
[00:45:12] with Ukraine. You better think twice before you give Ukraine intelligence. This is an act of war.
[00:45:21] If true, this is an act of war. It's a major escalation. There's not really any precedent for it that I can think of, right?
[00:45:31] Now, I'm just saying, I'm not saying this is a definitive theory. I'm just saying it's simply a theory, right?
[00:45:43] I'm simply saying it's a theory, but I'm telling you why it would be understandable for the
[00:45:54] for the federal government to actually investigate his cause of death, right?
[00:45:59] There's some people who are saying, oh, Russia killed him in Ukraine.
[00:46:01] They hit it.
[00:46:02] Uh, I don't think that's, uh, I don't think that's the case, obviously.
[00:46:07] I think because there's a body, right?
[00:46:09] There was a body, uh, that people saw.
[00:46:12] I don't think that they've Russia killed him in the drone factory or something like that, but
[00:46:19] I mean, it's not that crazy to to investigate with the toxicology report to see if there's foul play
[00:46:26] If Russia has in the past poisoned people and killed them with poison
[00:46:33] It's like they're very common. It's a very common mode of assassination for Russia other than defenestration, right? So
[00:46:40] So it's not, I don't think it's that crazy to look at the situation and demand a full
[00:46:49] investigation into it.
[00:46:52] So yeah, it's the timing of the incident.
[00:46:57] Like if he, bro, even if he, look, even if Lindsey Graham went to Ukraine, came back
[00:47:04] from Ukraine and then died like a week after, died, you know, a couple days after, you would
[00:47:12] still be like, that's strange timing, right? But the fact that he just landed in America
[00:47:19] and then fucking perished, that's insane. You know what I mean? There's not enough evidence.
[00:47:30] I'm just saying that it is mysterious. Now, obviously, cardiac arrests are like dying
[00:47:36] of a heart attack or whatever after, you know, long travel at the age of 71. His father had
[00:47:42] died at the age of 69. It makes sense. It's in the family. That's also a very likely and
[00:47:50] very realistic outcome. I just still, I still think it's, it's worthy of, of an investigation.
[00:47:58] It's not just my assessment. It's clear that Ron Wyden has also called out a investigation
[00:48:06] and it's clear that the FBI is investigating it. So, you know, not the picture of ideal
[00:48:12] health even for his age, dude. Yeah. I'd say that there's 90 chance he died of natural
[00:48:20] cause because he's old and cardiac events like this aren't heard of and happen very
[00:48:24] quickly. But given he just got back from your clinic, he seemed otherwise fine. It makes
[00:48:27] no sense. It makes sense to look into it at least. Yeah, I'm not sure what kind of poisoning could
[00:48:31] cause an aortic dissection, though. Yeah, well, there's two competing theories here.
[00:48:38] There's two competing theories. One is that's not the actual cause of death, and then they're just
[00:48:44] going to say, oh, it's a heart attack. He's an old guy, or some kind of poison might have actually
[00:48:50] done that. But yeah, his art exploded. When he saw strikes on Iran, that could be the
[00:49:06] case. Someone wrote up the timeline and he wouldn't have made it back in time. Yeah,
[00:49:11] I've heard that too. I've heard people suspect that he like never actually made it back or
[00:49:15] something I don't know if that's real obviously like people saw him people saw him right I
[00:49:22] mean his body was was carried out of his house so I don't I don't I don't know about that
[00:49:30] but yeah
[00:49:34] what is the obvious question what would Russia even gain from this seems really a major major point
[00:49:39] If you're saying, what would Russia gain from this, you're wrong.
[00:49:50] Are you kidding me?
[00:49:52] Russia is desperate to reassert control over the situation and regain some kind of escalation
[00:49:59] dominance in the conflict.
[00:50:03] in its newest formation, where backed by NATO,
[00:50:08] nation, intelligence, backed by US intelligence, Ukraine,
[00:50:10] as I already told you, are making significant gains,
[00:50:15] not territorial gains necessarily,
[00:50:16] but making significant gains in terms of leverage
[00:50:19] by destroying or at least crippling
[00:50:22] Russian oil and gas infrastructure.
[00:50:24] It's caused tremendous pain at the domestic level in Russia.
[00:50:27] There are long lines.
[00:50:29] they're actually, they're actually limits.
[00:50:32] The Russian government is implementing hard limits
[00:50:35] on how much oil, how much gas you can put in your car.
[00:50:39] That's a huge deal.
[00:50:41] You kidding me?
[00:50:43] They are universalizing the pain inside of Russia
[00:50:47] in ways that they never could.
[00:50:49] That's huge, it's a huge deal.
[00:50:51] That's a huge point of leverage for Ukraine.
[00:50:53] Huge point of leverage for Ukraine.
[00:50:55] So for Russia, they know, I mean, they can punish Ukraine by blowing up Kiev, which they've been doing.
[00:51:02] But then they also are trying to threaten to the best of their ability, NATO countries, right?
[00:51:07] They have to do something to the NATO countries to be like, if you keep helping Ukraine, we are going to do something back to you.
[00:51:15] Now, in the past, what they would do is cyber attacks, right?
[00:51:19] Or every now and then there would be like a random attack on a critical infrastructure out of nowhere.
[00:51:24] like a random localized act of terrorism, um, who knows who was doing it, but mostly it was just cyber,
[00:51:33] right? It was cyber terrorism, cyber warfare. Um, that was a big threat. That's a, that's one way
[00:51:40] that Russia can tell the European countries, like if you fuck with us, we're going to,
[00:51:46] we're going to, to, uh, hurt you somehow. Right.
[00:51:50] Okay. This is a huge threat and a huge escalation from the Russian side. We can get to you and
[00:51:59] we can do this with impunity. If it's real, if it's real, okay? I'm just, I'm not saying
[00:52:06] that's the case, but if you're asking me what would Russia gain out of this, what leverage
[00:52:10] Russia would gain out, this is a huge fucking deal. Huge deal. It's massive. It's unprecedented.
[00:52:19] Obviously Russia wants there to be no ties with NATO countries in Ukraine because the
[00:52:40] connection like severing the connection between European countries in Ukraine and specifically
[00:52:46] the United States. And Ukraine is something that Russia wants. That's why Vladimir Putin
[00:52:54] was dangling a fake ceasefire in front of Donald Trump to successfully get Donald Trump to
[00:53:05] stop intelligence sharing and to stop their security cooperation with Ukraine in the beginning.
[00:53:10] If you remember, leading up to the Alaska summit, and Russia clearly had no interest
[00:53:17] in following through on a ceasefire whatsoever, they were just lying to Trump and Trump was
[00:53:23] stupid enough to believe it.
[00:53:25] And at the time, Russia did have a lot of leverage.
[00:53:30] They had hardened their position in the eastern Ukrainian territories.
[00:53:35] That's a huge amount of leverage.
[00:53:36] They had so much leverage that they thought that they could demand additional areas of Donbass, additional territories that they hadn't even militarily annexed.
[00:53:46] Ridiculous. Right?
[00:53:49] That's an understandable, maximalist position that Russia is demanding that Ukrainians are going to say no to. Why the fuck would they say yes to that?
[00:53:59] But yeah, Russia has banned all oil, Russia is banning oil exports as the Ukrainian strikes
[00:54:08] are causing fuel shortages.
[00:54:10] This is from six days ago and the situation is only worsen.
[00:54:14] Okay, this is not propaganda.
[00:54:18] This is just truth.
[00:54:20] Like I, this is not like a Western copium or propaganda.
[00:54:25] There is definitely a lot of, like Ukraine, as I, as I've been saying, through drone warfare,
[00:54:32] through autonomous warfare, Ukraine has actually gained an unprecedented level of leverage
[00:54:36] that they had not had since they successfully pushed back the Russian forces all the way
[00:54:40] to Eastern Ukraine.
[00:54:43] This is the maximum amount of leverage that they've had since then, for sure.
[00:54:53] So yeah, if it's true, why don't we look into what Russia is saying, we only listen to one
[00:54:58] side imagine looking at Israel and only listening to the Israeli side.
[00:55:01] Wait, what?
[00:55:03] Russia will never under any circumstances give up the Donbass or allow Ukraine into NATO.
[00:55:06] They will fight to the last man, no matter how much Reddit, Warhawks, Western media
[00:55:09] says this is real politics.
[00:55:13] What is this?
[00:55:14] US is planning an assault on Cuba.
[00:55:15] Jesus fucking Christ.
[00:55:23] Damn it. Anyway, getting back to that one chatter, getting back to that one chatter,
[00:55:33] Russia is obviously retaliating to this level of intelligence sharing and the additional attacks
[00:55:42] that their critical infrastructure is experiencing by obviously information sharing with Iran.
[00:55:47] So, you know, it's a little bit tit for tat that way. America and NATO countries are giving the go
[00:55:57] ahead to Ukraine and engaging in intelligence sharing with Ukraine so they can successfully
[00:56:02] strike targets deep inside of Russian territory with their drones and with their missiles potentially.
[00:56:09] And then Russia is going back and helping the Iranians.
[00:56:15] There's obviously the adverse, from the American perspective, there's also the adverse consequence
[00:56:23] of pushing Russia further and further into Chinese allegiances. This is obviously beneficial
[00:56:31] for China. The more Russia feels the pain, the more they're going to go and lean into China
[00:56:40] for components, for trade, for additional aid, for additional help.
[00:56:54] USA has cut all intelligence sharing when Trump got elected. This is misinformation on your side.
[00:56:58] That's why I said it's probably NATO nations that are offering intelligence sharing. But we do know
[00:57:05] that America's given the go-ahead for these strikes. There was a Washi Journal piece that came out,
[00:57:10] I believe, or it was a Washington Post report, I think, that came out by John Hudson,
[00:57:16] their Natsek reporter, that actually looked at it and the Americans were openly celebrating
[00:57:24] these strikes and saying, like, we've given them the go-ahead, we've given Ukraine the go-ahead
[00:57:29] to to hit oil tankers, Russian oil tankers, and I'm fairly certain they have reinstituted
[00:57:36] intelligence sharing. So you're, I don't think you're wrong. I mean, I don't think you're right on that. Sorry.
[00:57:55] So yeah.
[00:57:59] attack on Russian energy targets. The Ukrainians have been striking ships, refineries and other
[00:58:06] infrastructure as far away as Siberia. So unsurprisingly, it has the attention of the
[00:58:13] highest levels of the Russian government.
[00:58:17] It is absolutely clear that the enemy is trying to harm the economy and, most importantly,
[00:58:22] create a nervous situation in the society. We all understand that this task is impossible
[00:58:26] to accomplish. The Russian energy system's resilience is very high, one of the highest
[00:58:31] in the world. Resilience may well be high, but it's not
[00:58:38] limit. Hassan, just follow or watch the crystal files.
[00:58:41] You're entirely wrong and sound like a seven-year-old MAGA voter with your stupid spiel. Hassan,
[00:58:46] to learn about Russian espionage, just watch the YouTube channel, the crystal file. Okay,
[00:58:50] take a week off, buddy. At least. And in the same meeting Wednesday,
[00:58:54] Deputy Prime Minister took action, the ban on diesel fuel exports went into effect today
[00:59:01] which will allow for increased supplies to the domestic market. In July, we're also
[00:59:06] starting imports of petroleum products and boosting additional production volume.
[00:59:10] Have you heard about the gamification of the war? Yes, they have units getting points for
[00:59:15] successful drone attacks which they can spend on getting better equipment. Yes, I have seen that.
[00:59:19] It's pretty fucking wild.
[00:59:22] Palantir losing their top Ukrainian asset though
[00:59:24] I'm sure they'll still do fine in Kiev just greased the right palms.
[00:59:27] I'm told Ukraine Defense Minister Mikhailov Fedorov has indeed been fired six months into the job of victory for the generals with whom
[00:59:33] He was perhaps unwisely quarreling, but just as much for the corrupt officials whose interests he undermined
[00:59:39] by using petroleum products of a lower environmental class.
[00:59:54] Russia is the world's fourth largest petroleum product exporter according to the US Energy
[00:59:59] Information Administration and this is why they are desperate for increased production.
[01:00:05] motorists are now struggling to fill up their cars with fuel over the weekend my husband
[01:00:12] and I drove to maybe 15 gas stations in the Leningrad region there was no gas the stations
[01:00:18] were closed with signs hanging everywhere yeah this is this is a real like I'm sorry guys
[01:00:25] this is a real fucking domestic crisis like what are we doing the idea that this doesn't
[01:00:30] have any, the idea that this doesn't have any like domestic impact is crazy.
[01:00:40] It doesn't get gas at all. Only today do we finally manage to fill up. This station is the only one we could find.
[01:00:48] Ukraine has targeted Russian energy infrastructure for months, a strategic effort to increase the
[01:00:54] increase the pain experienced across the Russian economy in an effort to push them to the negotiating table.
[01:01:01] The real domestic crisis is a real domestic crisis, but that doesn't change the situation on the frontline that Russia is gaining ground.
[01:01:06] Yes, it does.
[01:01:10] Yeah, this is a very successful effort from Ukraine, for sure.
[01:01:14] Probably the most successful effort from Ukraine so far could actually turn Russian public opinion against the war for the first time, at least to some extent.
[01:01:20] I don't know how much impact it will have, but this is how wars are waged, okay?
[01:01:27] Obviously, regardless of how, look, regardless of how despotic or authoritarian
[01:01:35] Vladimir Putin is, clearly he needs to have the backing of the public, okay? Especially because
[01:01:44] if it gets to a point where the public is like, dude, what the fuck are you doing?
[01:01:47] we can't get oil, I can't see my family, my grandparents are dying in the hospital,
[01:01:52] that sort of thing creates tremendous amounts of enmity. And that is going to inevitably
[01:02:00] cause the public to demand changes. Okay? It's going to cause public demand changes.
[01:02:08] Or even if they were to start revolting, for example, I'm just saying in the future,
[01:02:13] if the situation gets completely out of control and they start protesting and stuff like that,
[01:02:21] then in order to stop those protests, you need to exhaust your resources, your domestic resources.
[01:02:29] It requires money and effort and more oil and gas, ironically enough, to send militarized police
[01:02:36] units to put down riots, if that were to happen. So, you know, it's a big deal. It's not, this
[01:02:45] is not something you can just cast aside. Aren't they losing 30k souls every month? I don't know
[01:03:01] what the actual numbers are, but that doesn't matter. They have a fuck ton of people. They have
[01:03:05] more people than Ukraine does. And they clearly can keep throwing people into the meat grinder,
[01:03:11] whereas Ukraine doesn't have that same exact opportunity, which is why, obviously,
[01:03:16] there's a lot of frustration inside of Ukraine for the continuation of this war as well.
[01:03:24] You know what I mean? So, you know, Putin doesn't give a shit. I don't think he cares about that as
[01:03:31] much, but I mean you this is this is like this is obviously devastating for the
[01:03:39] global energy markets as well but it's certainly devastating for the Russian
[01:03:43] economy Ukraine's drone campaign expands into the Black Sea 20 tankers hit in the
[01:03:46] first night 20 Russian shadow fleet vessels were hit in the Black Sea overnight
[01:03:50] on July 15 17 oil tankers two gas tankers and one tugboat total count
[01:03:55] Since the operation began on July 6th is 136.
[01:04:14] Brother, I need you to understand like these are not irrelevant numbers. This is very consequential.
[01:04:21] Okay, this is unbelievably controversial. I mean look at this is kind of what Iran is doing in the straight of hormones, right?
[01:04:29] Of course, we cheer it on when Russia when it's happening against Russia, but when Iran does it everyone's like whoa
[01:04:36] So fuck are you guys doing chill out? How dare you how dare you Iran you some bitch?
[01:05:21] overwar finish though. What do you mean? Come on, dude. The Houthis do this. Again, by the way,
[01:05:27] when the Houthis do this and we watch those compilations, I get banned. When Ukraine does this
[01:05:32] and we watch those compilations, I don't get banned. Notice that there's a big difference here.
[01:05:45] Yeah.
[01:05:51] Why is the reticle a heart? I don't know, man, but probably because, look, probably because these are fucking zoomers and shit, right?
[01:06:01] I don't know. I don't know if that's like standard operating software, but you have to remember, like a lot of these guys are our age and much younger, okay?
[01:06:11] So this is the world that they live in.
[01:06:21] Anyway, so the reason why I'm bringing this up, the reason why we started talking about
[01:06:37] this is because of the Lindsey Graham situation.
[01:06:39] So clearly, clearly, Ukraine has gained a lot of leverage.
[01:06:51] There's obviously some intelligence sharing that's taking place, and America obviously
[01:06:55] is aware of what Ukraine is doing to the Russian oil and gas tankers and the Russian
[01:07:03] oil and gas infrastructure, and they're comfortable with it.
[01:07:07] They're excited about it.
[01:07:08] Donald Trump's attitude towards Zelensky has even changed in the process, partially because
[01:07:13] he sees these compilations and he likes it.
[01:07:16] Donald Trump loves winners at the end of the day, okay?
[01:07:23] So that's definitely a change in the war calculation.
[01:07:45] My attitude on this is always going to be the same.
[01:07:49] far now, cease far now, cease far now, take advantage of the leverage you have, please.
[01:07:55] But, you know, it's also up to the Russians. Like, have they actually eaten enough dick and balls
[01:08:02] at this point that they are comfortable with the ceasefire potentially? Because there is a
[01:08:07] decent amount of leverage that Ukraine has gained in this process, right?
[01:08:12] I don't know. We never, I guess we'll never know until we try.
[01:08:19] Otherwise, the eating of the dick and the eating of the balls will continue. Now,
[01:08:33] let's get into Angoled. Is he coming out or not? As I've told you guys, I'm staying out of this one
[01:08:42] England versus Argentina. I don't know. I have no opinions on this. It's tough. It's tough.
[01:08:49] It's a tough one. Um, you know, let the worst man win, let the best man win, whatever you want to
[01:08:58] call it. It's a, it's a let them fight situation. I guess the, the negative way to look at it is no
[01:09:04] matter what happens, we lose, but the positive thing is, uh, the, the, the hopeful and optimistic
[01:09:10] way to look at it is no matter who who wins one side is losing and therefore we win as well.
[01:09:18] Right? So let's see. Oh, the biggest international rivalry in sports. We're talking about soccer,
[01:09:26] England versus Argentina and fans are getting pumped up in. I will say it's very funny that
[01:09:31] Argentina has an objectively whiter team than, than France does and certainly even England. So
[01:09:38] So, ready for this showdown?
[01:09:40] Like, I want to know, here, here's what I think, okay?
[01:09:44] Here's what I think.
[01:09:46] Two things.
[01:09:49] What are the Mexicans doing right now?
[01:09:52] Who are the Mexicans rooting for?
[01:09:54] Because it's, I don't think they're going to be rooting for Argentina, right?
[01:09:59] Like, even though, like, that's why I'm saying, like, it's tough.
[01:10:07] Who is Latin America rooting for in this situation?
[01:10:17] Who is Latin America rooting for in this situation?
[01:10:20] Because I know their asses are not caught dead rooting for Argentina.
[01:10:25] But then at the same time, they can't really root for England either, especially for Mexico.
[01:10:30] They got eliminated.
[01:10:32] So I'm, I'm sitting this one out as a flexkin myself.
[01:10:37] I'm sitting this one out.
[01:10:39] Um, I will say for England, this is a, a much tougher hill to climb.
[01:10:49] And the reason why I'm saying that is because they're not just, you know,
[01:10:52] going up against Argentina, they're, they're basically playing against in Fantino.
[01:10:58] They're playing against Vargentina.
[01:11:00] So that's a tougher hill for them to climb. We shall see. Okay.
[01:11:07] Plan against Argentina, no easy feat, okay?
[01:11:12] God forbid, messy flops, multiple red cars will be issued.
[01:11:18] If this match even more intense, the two countries have a long history of butting heads,
[01:11:22] both in global politics and on the pitch.
[01:11:24] Lee Canairi is in London and has more on the showdown.
[01:11:28] When English fans chant it's coming home, they mean the cup and the game itself.
[01:11:38] The Brits invented soccer and named it that in the late 1800s.
[01:11:42] As the British Empire spread, so did its sport, it became known as football and it turned
[01:11:47] out the Brits weren't the best at it.
[01:11:49] Argentina have won three World Cups, England has only ever won one.
[01:11:54] This rivalry goes way back, says football journalist Joey Dursow.
[01:11:58] To the 1700s, when the Brits claimed an island off Argentina as their home, in 1982, Argentina
[01:12:05] forces invaded it, starting the Falklands War.
[01:12:09] After 10 weeks, the Brits won.
[01:12:10] In Argentina, they view this as a deep historical injustice.
[01:12:14] The islands they call Las Malvinas, they think should be part of Argentina.
[01:12:18] Four years after the war, Argentina faces England in the World Cup.
[01:12:22] Diego Maradona is out for revenge.
[01:12:25] I mean, to be fair, that is my goat, right?
[01:12:28] Kaya!
[01:12:30] Hi!
[01:12:33] Maradona ain't nobody's doing it like him.
[01:12:35] They used to say,
[01:12:36] they used to say he cheats a lot, hand to God, whatever.
[01:12:39] Okay, that's copium.
[01:12:40] Maradona,
[01:12:42] Maradona is a fucking legend, okay?
[01:12:45] A fucking legend.
[01:12:47] I don't give a shit if you think he cheated.
[01:12:49] If he cheated, he's allowed to cheat.
[01:12:52] Okay?
[01:12:53] If you got politics,
[01:12:55] if you got politics like Maradona,
[01:12:57] you're allowed to cheat.
[01:12:59] Messi is the opposite of Maradona with his politics.
[01:13:03] Okay?
[01:13:05] The ball goes into the English box.
[01:13:06] Jaeger Maradona punches the ball
[01:13:08] with his hand into the net.
[01:13:09] The referee didn't see it and it was a goal.
[01:13:12] Maradona famously said it went in with the hand of God.
[01:13:16] A few minutes later, Maradona then scored,
[01:13:18] possibly the greatest goal in the history of the World Cup.
[01:13:20] And Fennec, it's still Diego Maradona!
[01:13:25] The country's meet again in 1998.
[01:13:27] David Beckham is sent off the field.
[01:13:29] It's off to Beckham. Oh, it's rich!
[01:13:31] I'll be honest, there's no...
[01:13:33] like, Maradona would never meet with Donald Trump.
[01:13:35] Okay? Never, ever, ever in a million fucking years.
[01:13:39] Maradona will be like, these guys are...
[01:13:41] I mean, he was the...
[01:13:42] he was the OG.
[01:13:44] These guys are the Epstein class.
[01:13:46] They're all pedophilic vampires.
[01:13:48] Just not no shot. Okay. No fucking shot
[01:13:54] England plays a man down and loses
[01:14:00] Coordinated messy hate reminds me of coordinated Hassan Abbey hate. Okay, dude
[01:14:05] He redeemed himself in 2002 and that was the last time England faced Argentina
[01:14:12] Maradona
[01:14:14] But look what it leaves to England!
[01:14:16] Until tonight, and there's another
[01:14:18] Maradona on the field.
[01:14:20] Lionel Messi has never played the England national team.
[01:14:23] Are people worried?
[01:14:25] Massively worried, because he's the greatest of all time.
[01:14:27] And that's what makes his rivalry so exciting.
[01:14:31] And this is what diplomacy looks like
[01:14:33] at 10 Downing Street today.
[01:14:35] England hasn't won the World Cup in 60 years,
[01:14:37] and if that's not incentive...
[01:14:39] It's coming out! It's coming!
[01:14:42] football is coming out. It's coming out. Dude, the fact that they wrote that song 30 years
[01:14:50] ago where they say 30 years of hurt, and then they had to say 40 years of hurt. And now it's
[01:14:56] 60 fucking years of hurt is so funny. The prime minister said if they win the whole thing,
[01:15:01] the public gets a national holiday. That's amazing. Lee, what a great history lesson.
[01:15:08] Thank you so much. So you can see England, the cause of everything that's wrong with the world,
[01:15:12] an art or Argentina the consequence of everything that's wrong with the world. Yes, that's why I said
[01:15:16] let them fight. Let them fight, let them fight, let them fight. Okay, this is a, this is a tough
[01:15:23] one for me to, this is a tough one for me to get involved with. To be fair, England kind of needs
[01:15:28] this. I think that whole country's about to kill itself. It really needs some good news.
[01:15:32] Brother, what about Argentina? They're run by Javier Malay. Like they're both in a similar
[01:15:41] predicament. If anything, Argentina is in a worse position overall. Look at their fucking,
[01:15:45] the Argentinian currency is worth nothing.
[01:15:51] England's on the verge of suicide, national suicide. Argentina is dead.
[01:15:57] I feel bad for the British folk that have to live through this process, but I also feel bad
[01:16:03] for the Argentinians too.
[01:16:04] What do you do? My friends. So, on the one hand, it's like, if we're looking at history, if we're
[01:16:18] looking at, like, who's worse, obviously England is the worst. England is the, the, the historically
[01:16:24] worst country. Just, just by the sheer nature of like America carrying the torture of British
[01:16:30] empire and British imperialism, England already has an upper hand on the evil Olympics.
[01:16:36] Most evil empire of all time, okay?
[01:16:44] But then you got, you know, contemporary considerations.
[01:16:52] It's tough. It's tough.
[01:16:54] from a FIFA perspective is also tough. I just you know I I'm
[01:17:00] staying out of it. I'm staying out of there is a lot of
[01:17:04] history between these two teams, including that hand of God
[01:17:06] moment, which is still very angry.
[01:17:08] Yes, and after looking at that piece and glad sort of beat me
[01:17:12] up over here.
[01:17:14] I have now officially switched my vote to a lot. I know I have
[01:17:18] I've just got a little sense. I mean, yeah, listening to the
[01:17:21] history because there's layers to why you're cheering for
[01:17:24] for a certain team.
[01:17:25] Yes, exactly.
[01:17:26] It's a type of revenge for us, for the war, so we want to win.
[01:17:32] We have friends, family that were in the war and died in the war, so it's important for
[01:17:40] us to play against England and to win.
[01:17:46] 44 years on from the Falklands war, those Argentina fans immediately brought up the conflict
[01:17:51] When I asked them what the Argentina-England football rivalry means to them ahead of the
[01:17:55] World Cup semi-final here in Atlanta.
[01:17:58] The most important match in Argentina for the last few years.
[01:18:01] These Argentina fans weren't even born when Argentina launched and then lost the conflict
[01:18:06] with the United Kingdom for the Falklands.
[01:18:09] And expect chance here in the stadium.
[01:18:11] There is no separation of the fans at this World Cup.
[01:18:14] You can be sitting alongside your rivals and that could mean quite an intense atmosphere
[01:18:18] here tomorrow.
[01:18:19] Will you be chanting about the Falklands?
[01:18:22] Yes, exactly.
[01:18:24] Does it have a place in football to talk about it?
[01:18:27] I think that yes.
[01:18:28] Referendums since the war have shown overwhelming support
[01:18:31] on the Falklands to remain in the UK overseas territory.
[01:18:35] But Argentina still claims sovereignty.
[01:18:37] For one of international football's great rivalries,
[01:18:40] winning the World Cup would be revenge for the war?
[01:18:42] Yes.
[01:18:44] Yes, what do you mean?
[01:18:45] Of course.
[01:18:47] It's a rarity for England.
[01:18:48] The India Tiktok has a surprising opinion on the game.
[01:19:18] all the way nah bro England Bandy bro look I don't care I don't care about that okay it's
[01:19:29] fine it's fine anyway anyway let's let's continue let's continue Argentina to play it's why until
[01:19:37] tomorrow here in Atlanta the three Lions have never come up against perhaps the greatest
[01:19:41] of all time Lionel Messi which maybe dude come on resting at World Cups perhaps the greatest
[01:19:48] a full time. Leo no Missy was against another era's genius Diego Maradona that spoke this
[01:19:55] footballing feud. The hand of God cheating that knocked England out of the 1986 World
[01:20:00] Cup. 12 years later it was all about David Beckham and the petulance that saw him sent
[01:20:05] off as England crashed out in France. But in 2002 there was victory for Schwenauer and
[01:20:11] Ericsson's England. The men haven't met in a competitive fixture since with the last
[01:20:16] friendly organised in 2005. Well we've heard some England fans chanting about
[01:20:21] past conflicts during this World Cup. These fans we encountered here in
[01:20:25] Atlanta don't want a political edge to this match. To me it's all about the game and I
[01:20:29] think to blow it up bigger than a game and make it political or about what
[01:20:33] will probably create an atmosphere that wouldn't be helpful for the fans in this
[01:20:37] stadium. It's not a big deal for us politically I think more from their
[01:20:42] standpoint. This will be the most intense match so far at this World Cup. The biggest
[01:20:46] challenge perhaps for players. I mean, I don't know what's more consequential to Falklands
[01:20:51] or England potentially getting knocked out by Argentina after 60 years of Earth.
[01:21:00] Never stop me dreaming, lad. I don't fucking know.
[01:21:12] I don't know. I don't know. Nobody in the UK thinks about the focus war. Yeah, of course,
[01:21:20] they don't think about it, but the Argentinians do. But everyone in England does think about
[01:21:30] the fact that England hasn't won in 60 years.
[01:21:34] And while England just want to focus on reaching a first men's war cut final since 1966, so
[01:21:44] many around Argentina still want to bring the Falklands war into it.
[01:21:48] With the fans mixing in, there is a real potential that they could be troubled.
[01:21:52] The challenge in the stadium, preventing any friction between fans and ensuring that the
[01:21:56] geopolitical tensions don't become unsavory.
[01:22:00] When Trump says US strikes will continue in Iran with each day getting war, all right.
[01:22:06] That's it for the football. Football is coming home analysis, right? It's time to talk about
[01:22:12] something different, right? I can help.
[01:22:17] We are going to now talk about Donald Trump. We're going to be talking about Donald Trump's
[01:22:22] interview with Trey Yinks. I watched it last night after the stream. It was, you know,
[01:22:28] baby shit, as always, we'll get into that. It's situation monitoring time.
[01:22:35] The war is back on, ladies and gentlemen, the war in the
[01:22:39] straight of Hormuz is back on. America is striking Iranian targets
[01:22:45] with regular frequency. It's not, uh, it hasn't gotten to the same
[01:22:50] intensity that it was at at the peak of Operation Epic Fury.
[01:22:55] However, it's getting up there. Iran has shut off the street of Hormuz once again. There are some real issues. There is an imminent crisis. There's an imminent energy crisis once again.
[01:23:10] So that's where we're at. AP News alert Dubai, United Arab Emirates, US military central command says it resumes strikes on Iran in daylight, part of an increasing tempo of attacks.
[01:23:23] Are we going to run out of oil? The United States of America? Probably not. Having said that, however, are the Asian markets going to suffer? Absolutely.
[01:23:36] Absolutely, Africa's gonna suffer, Asia's gonna suffer, and most likely Europe is going
[01:23:42] to suffer.
[01:23:44] So that is where we are at.
[01:23:50] Does Donald Trump care about any of this?
[01:23:53] Well, seemingly not so much.
[01:23:56] At least he is making it seem like he doesn't care about this.
[01:24:01] JD Vance went on Joe Rogan, by the way, will obviously cover that as well.
[01:24:08] JD Vance is aggressively trying to find a lane for himself amidst this crisis because
[01:24:15] he is going to be the one who is held responsible at the end of this process.
[01:24:20] Donald Trump has basically locked him down with the Iran situation.
[01:24:27] Marco Rubio has been noticeably absent from the equation with one exception where, you
[01:24:32] know, he was, he, he, he was involved in, I think the, the Lebanese, um, Israeli normalization
[01:24:41] agreement, which is obviously bullshit, but it doesn't matter. He's not, he's not touching
[01:24:45] this with the temple poll, even though he's the secretary of state. And, uh, JD Vance
[01:24:50] on the other hand is getting absolutely comforted and dumpstered here. Marco Rubio is responsible
[01:24:57] for the Latin American side of things, the Donro doctrine, and all these South American
[01:25:02] initiatives. I mean, he's a demonic little pervert in a different way.
[01:25:08] Does it worry you that war is getting more common even with major wars like Ukraine
[01:25:13] and Iran? And do you think China will move on Taiwan? I think China is just going to
[01:25:17] hold its defensive posture. Why the fuck would they do anything? America is literally committing
[01:25:23] suicide right now. Very publicly so. And also killing the rest of the world in the process.
[01:25:29] This is a, why would China, why would China do anything to rock the boat in any way, shape
[01:25:35] or form? First than last, he says he's saving energy
[01:25:41] targets for last and did reiterate that Iran has no choice but to make a deal. Chief foreign
[01:25:46] correspondent Trey Yang says at the White House where he spoke exclusively with President
[01:25:50] Trump earlier today about his plans for the Middle East. Good evening, Trey.
[01:25:54] Yeah, Brett. Good evening. President Trump told Fox News that strikes against
[01:25:57] Iran will continue tonight and expand next week if the Iranians are unwilling to make a deal.
[01:26:04] Here's more of our exclusive interview from the White House.
[01:26:07] I'm so disappointed in Trey. I really thought he was like, I mean, I didn't expect much of him.
[01:26:14] He's a Fox News guy. But like, as someone who spent a good deal of time with Hezbollah,
[01:26:19] someone who spent a good deal of time with Hamas is someone who was like, you know, one of the few
[01:26:24] major American, hello, oh, we're back. Okay. It's too hot outside, isn't it? My AC is not working.
[01:26:31] So the only AC in the, in the downstairs is, is the, is in the studio. So she, she went outside.
[01:26:45] She went outside. She walked around the house, smelled stuff and now she's back.
[01:26:52] She's like, nope. Man, how's your AC always broken? I live in America.
[01:26:56] That's like the most American experience chatter. Are you kidding me?
[01:26:58] What are you talking about? Year round, the AC is fine. As soon as summer rolls around, boom.
[01:27:08] Get a coaster for your drink, you psycho. I used to have one. I don't know where it went.
[01:27:14] You need an HVAC guy, got someone? There's already an HVAC guy inside of my luxurious
[01:27:22] mansion currently working. Shave her down to the skin just on her body. Are you kidding
[01:27:29] me? That's the worst possible thing you can do to dogs like this. Her coat is what allows
[01:27:34] her to do temperature regulation. If you actually trim their hair, first of all, she
[01:27:41] you got two different kinds of coats.
[01:27:42] She got the human hairstyle coat and then she got fur.
[01:27:45] The human style hair coat doesn't grow back.
[01:27:48] That's number one, number two.
[01:27:51] If I were to shave, never shave your dogs.
[01:27:54] Never shave your dogs because their fur coat
[01:27:58] is what helps them regulate the temperature.
[01:28:00] If you shave them, if you shave their coats,
[01:28:05] they will one, potentially get sunburned ironically enough
[01:28:10] And and have a bunch of different like spots and to
[01:28:15] They will no longer be able to regulate the temperature evenly
[01:28:22] You never shave double coated dogs yet code insulation works both ways it keeps the heat away from them. Yeah
[01:28:29] They sweat through their toe beans I think they sweat through their mouth I
[01:28:36] Don't think they sweat dogs don't really sweat
[01:28:40] Anyway, getting back to it, Trey Yings talking to President Donald Trump.
[01:28:52] Mr. President, thank you for speaking with Fox News.
[01:28:54] Thank you.
[01:28:55] Thank you very much.
[01:28:56] We have seen extensive U.S. strikes against Iran for three consecutive nights now.
[01:29:03] This comes after the Iranians attacked vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
[01:29:07] How would you describe what is happening at this moment?
[01:29:09] Has the war resumed?
[01:29:11] Well, I guess you could define it any way you want, but certainly we're beating them
[01:29:15] up really badly.
[01:29:16] They have to be beat up.
[01:29:18] We're hitting them very, very hard.
[01:29:20] We're hitting every single thing that they have along the shore, along the…
[01:29:24] Wow.
[01:29:26] This is new.
[01:29:27] Hadn't heard this one before in the last 150 days or so.
[01:29:34] Thank you.
[01:29:35] this unique and new insight, Mr. President, I certainly feel confident about the war and its
[01:29:42] prospects now. It is increasingly becoming clear to me and anyone else with working brain cells
[01:29:51] that this is turning into a forever war, okay? Now, the reality of the matter is the Americans
[01:29:59] are not exactly excited the prospect of yet another forever war. We've seen the YouGov poll
[01:30:03] that came out recently, even Republicans, majority of Republicans want this war to end.
[01:30:09] And a plurality of MAGA wants this war to end immediately. A plurality of MAGA, 49% of MAGA
[01:30:17] want this war to end, okay? Majority Republicans, plurality of MAGA, that's massively consequential.
[01:30:27] On the other side, though, on the other side, as long as there's no boots on the ground
[01:30:32] and troops returning in coffins, flag-draped coffins. From the American
[01:30:38] perspective, we have an unlimited appetite for death and destruction unless,
[01:30:44] you know, gas prices obviously get completely out of control. And there is a
[01:30:50] likelihood that gas prices might go completely out of control. So, on that
[01:30:56] front, who knows how much more appetite Americans have. Will it cause, unless
[01:31:01] there is an economic collapse, will it actually cause some sort of crisis that leads to revolt?
[01:31:09] Who can say? But Trump's calculation here is, as long as this is just tit for tat strikes,
[01:31:19] as long as it's happening over there, and even if the Shredivor Muzza's closed, we can
[01:31:25] still like somehow manage the markets, manipulate the markets, uh, then it's fine. Right? That's
[01:31:33] his, that's his bet that the cattle won't revolt. And to be fair, so far, so good. The
[01:31:40] cattle has yet to revolt. Americans are cattle for sure.
[01:31:49] Phil Stewart, Iran State TV sites, Iranian army is saying that it targeted a hostile
[01:31:53] US vessel with cruise missiles. Not that could change the dynamic a little bit, right? There's a,
[01:32:00] this is, this from two days ago, we don't know what took place. Like we don't know if they actually
[01:32:06] successfully struck American vessels. But if there is any footage of, uh, in the tit for tat, if the
[01:32:13] Americans, for example, try to transit some oil tankers through the straight and the Iranians
[01:32:18] successfully hit and get a, Iranians are, if the Iranians are capable of downing a naval
[01:32:27] asset, that would probably tip this whole thing over.
[01:32:33] Okay?
[01:32:36] As I've said over and over again, but who knows?
[01:32:41] Who knows?
[01:32:42] It is clear to me that Donald Trump is following through on the Professor Jong method.
[01:32:50] Because one aspect of this interview where Trump reveals that we could potentially send
[01:32:54] military but not American soldiers, we got other soldiers was very interesting.
[01:32:59] Now is it Trump just talking shit?
[01:33:01] Is he a Professor Jong head?
[01:33:05] You were saying this on the first day laws.
[01:33:09] Yes.
[01:33:11] What do you mean?
[01:33:12] I've been right about virtually everything that I've been saying, look at where we're at.
[01:33:24] Look at where we're at.
[01:33:31] The waterfront, you know, if you look at the Strait of Hormose, it's now,
[01:33:38] we're looking, we're finding it hard to find where they have anything.
[01:33:42] We have to stop it. We have to keep it open. I was going to charge your fee,
[01:33:46] but instead they'd rather spend a lot of money in the United States,
[01:33:49] which frankly is better because I don't like the idea of a fee.
[01:33:52] It's got to remain free because otherwise.
[01:33:54] Yeah. He backed away from that fee system so fast is really funny.
[01:33:58] Like it's, it's so clear. It is so clear that that was like a late night on the shitter
[01:34:07] in the moment decision. I will say one thing that I find particularly interesting, a little
[01:34:15] funny about this is, Trump is just copy pasting what Iran has been doing. I've been thinking
[01:34:21] about this a lot. He obviously did the blockade after Iran did the blockade, and he was like,
[01:34:27] oh, I'm going to do the blockade. This is a good idea. Now he's also saying, oh, not
[01:34:31] only am I going to do the blockade, but I'm also going to get paid for it. I'm going to
[01:34:34] do a toll system, okay? Because Iran did it. But the other, the other side of the story
[01:34:41] that I, I was thinking about is the whole, the, the whole, like if you kill me, we have
[01:34:49] missiles trained on Iran and we will destroy Iran thing that he came out and revealed a
[01:34:54] couple of weeks ago. That is literally the American version of the mosaic defense system.
[01:35:00] He is just copy pasting everything that Iran has been doing.
[01:35:07] It's so funny.
[01:35:08] Now, obviously it's not going to work because we've been blowing up Iran nonstop for like
[01:35:12] the last 150 days that didn't stop them at all.
[01:35:15] But it is hilarious that he literally, he's just looking at whatever the fuck Iran is
[01:35:20] doing.
[01:35:21] And he's like, this seems like a great idea.
[01:35:24] This seems like a great idea.
[01:35:27] If I die, if I die, we're gonna, if I die, we're gonna destroy Iran, unlike what we've
[01:35:35] done so far.
[01:35:36] Praise be to Allah.
[01:35:44] He really, he really liked what Iran did after they killed the Ayatollah, so we wanted
[01:35:51] to copy and paste it.
[01:35:55] Praise be to Allah.
[01:35:57] We've decided we're changing something, we're changing something that we've done so far in
[01:36:03] our elections.
[01:36:04] I've decided we are going to have 88 clerics decide who the next Supreme Leader of the
[01:36:11] United States is.
[01:36:18] There is no dead man switch in the US plan of succession, as I'm sure you know, come
[01:36:22] to think of it.
[01:36:23] Yeah, he he's decided he's gonna do a dead man switch which is you know, what Iran had and he liked it
[01:36:29] He's just fucking reheating the IRGC nachos here. Okay, others will do the same thing
[01:36:36] But I think we've made tremendous progress
[01:36:37] So your objectives are to
[01:36:39] Ensure that Iran never has a nuclear weapon to keep the straight open and to degrade the Iranian military
[01:36:46] Can those objectives be completed in an air campaign alone or does this require a ground component?
[01:36:52] Well, I think they're completed now. Honestly, if we left right now, it would take them 20
[01:36:57] years to rebuild what they have. The only way you can negotiate with these people is through
[01:37:01] strength. And the only strength is military strength. And that's what we've done. And,
[01:37:07] I mean, literally two days ago, we had a deal. And then they broke it at the last moment. They
[01:37:12] broke it. Will these strikes continue? They'll continue until I say it's enough. I mean, they'll
[01:37:19] continue they've been there you know the word the military likes to use is
[01:37:23] degrade they've been degraded to a very low level and they have fight you know
[01:37:29] it's like a great boxer you have you think you haven't beat and then all of
[01:37:33] a sudden it comes back and he gives you a shot they have some fight left but they
[01:37:38] don't have much and their weapon degrading has been incredible at a
[01:37:43] level nobody thought it was possible to do it this quickly you posted today on
[01:37:46] social comments that you made back in 1988 about Carg Island. And at the time you said,
[01:37:53] one bullet shot at one of our men or ships, and I'd do a number on Carg Island, I'd go
[01:37:59] in and take it. Do you still intend to take Carg Island?
[01:38:02] So, I can't say that to you because if I did it would be foolish, right? But every night
[01:38:06] I'd make a little headlines, but it would be foolish. But I'll tell you about Carg Island.
[01:38:11] So, we've already...
[01:38:12] Are you ruling out a ground campaign in a limited capacity?
[01:38:15] Well, I don't want to say that either, but I would say no if I thought it was appropriate.
[01:38:21] Sometimes you need a ground campaign, but we have other people that will do the ground
[01:38:25] campaign for us.
[01:38:26] But we already hit Cargallan, as you know, twice.
[01:38:30] Even three times, I said, hit everything, but the oil.
[01:38:33] Just leave that little area from 25 yards out.
[01:38:35] Leave that little area.
[01:38:36] Don't touch the oil, because I don't want that in terms of the world economy.
[01:38:42] It's a chunk of the world economy.
[01:38:44] So we haven't hit that at some point we could, but I think it's unlikely.
[01:38:48] As far as taking it is concerned, if we degrade them far enough and deep enough back, I would
[01:38:53] do that.
[01:38:54] Do you anticipate that the strikes we're seeing this week against Iran will expand?
[01:38:59] Are you considering hitting energy targets or other locations inside of Iran?
[01:39:04] I'll save the energy targets for last, but ultimately we'll hit energy targets, yeah.
[01:39:10] But we're going to hit them very hard tonight.
[01:39:12] We're gonna hit him very hard tomorrow night.
[01:39:15] We're gonna hit him very hard the night after.
[01:39:17] And then next week, it gets really bad for them
[01:39:20] because next week comes the power plants.
[01:39:25] Next week comes the bridges.
[01:39:27] We're gonna knock out all their power plants.
[01:39:29] We're gonna knock out all their bridges.
[01:39:32] Nothing he has said so far is new, by the way.
[01:39:38] So it obviously bears the question
[01:39:42] It didn't work last time you had to do a mo you you had to do a ceasefire
[01:39:48] So what makes you think that this posture and you know
[01:39:54] Claiming you're gonna do unlimited war crimes on Iran is going to change the dynamic in any way shape or form
[01:40:03] Because he did this I was in fucking Michigan last time he threatened to do this
[01:40:07] Remember, that was when I was doing the stomping of the campaign rally with the Abdul Al-Said
[01:40:14] the day of, where Trump came out and was like, a civilization dies tonight.
[01:40:25] It's really funny that every time Trump talks about what he wants to attack, yes, they essentially
[01:40:28] can see that Iran, a nation he's repeatedly called barbaric and civilized, and uncivilized
[01:40:32] actually very adept advanced and has incredible power and control in the region that affects
[01:40:36] the whole world. Damn, Iran got hands. I mean, he did admit that. He said like an old boxer.
[01:40:43] They still got a little bit of fight left in them because they do and they have. They
[01:40:51] haven't stopped. So the question, the question I have is what changed? And the question I
[01:41:01] I have for Trump's statements is, what gives unless they get to the table and
[01:41:08] negotiate. Do you believe the Iranians are serious about making a deal? I think
[01:41:12] they have no choice. Why haven't they yet? I think if I didn't do the way I'm
[01:41:17] doing, they would never make a deal. They would have never made a deal with
[01:41:20] Obama. That deal was the worst and what they did sign was a worthless piece of
[01:41:24] paper. What they signed, what they signed with Obama was a worthless piece of
[01:41:29] paper that was a road to a nuclear weapon.
[01:41:32] And what I have is a wall.
[01:41:35] There will be no nuclear weapon.
[01:41:37] I'll never sign it.
[01:41:38] When you listed the three things,
[01:41:40] by far the most important is they will not
[01:41:43] have a nuclear weapon.
[01:41:44] Take me back to the moment before February 28,
[01:41:48] when you made the decision to launch Operation Epic Fury.
[01:41:52] Was there a specific piece of intelligence
[01:41:55] that made you decide to launch this operation?
[01:41:58] Well, it's specific in the sense that it just never stops and they're going to go forward
[01:42:03] and they wanted a nuclear weapon.
[01:42:04] We knew they wanted a nuclear weapon.
[01:42:06] If they have a nuclear weapon, easier wouldn't be, look, I mean, what do you, what do you
[01:42:17] say to any of it?
[01:42:18] None of it, none of this is new.
[01:42:21] None of this is new.
[01:42:22] What are we doing?
[01:42:24] What the hell are we doing, man?
[01:42:27] They didn't want a nuclear weapon
[01:42:30] Even Trace I heard that they didn't
[01:42:35] No, no, no
[01:42:37] No, no, no, they wanted it. They wanted it Vietnam Vietnam took so much longer. This is not as long as Vietnam. Okay
[01:42:47] Great they say that everything they say is a lie they lie I've never seen anything like it
[01:42:52] They also come out and they'll tell you we never discussed nuclear and we're in room for five hours
[01:42:57] that's all we discussed and then walk out and say nuclear was not discussed everything was discussed
[01:43:03] ad nauseam they were going to have a nuclear weapon it's kind of funny that for the longest time
[01:43:14] whatever the american administration said was just the truth right but nowadays because of the
[01:43:22] internet and because of the nature of this conflict where america is waging war against the foreign
[01:43:26] an adversary that's an established sovereign nation state,
[01:43:30] we have unprecedented access to hear from the other side.
[01:43:34] And this has actually gotten,
[01:43:36] this is actually frustrated the administration directly.
[01:43:39] Our boys over at Dropsite News,
[01:43:41] as always are doing the Lord's work
[01:43:43] by directly reaching out to the Iranian side
[01:43:46] and hearing what their perspective is.
[01:43:49] We have unprecedented access to the Omanis.
[01:43:54] We have unprecedented access to the Iranians.
[01:43:57] This is not like a Hamas versus Israel style situation where Israel can control all of
[01:44:03] the communications, right?
[01:44:04] So like, it's really funny.
[01:44:07] The Iranians told Jeremy that Iran sent a message to JDVs warning that Kushner and
[01:44:13] Whitcoff were abusing their inside access to negotiations.
[01:44:15] A senior Iranian official said to Iran privately told Vance, the pair were exploiting the negotiations
[01:44:21] for financial gain.
[01:44:22] The White House is of course, denied it, which is the least surprising turn of events, right?
[01:44:27] Because we've seen Kushner do this every single time.
[01:44:30] So it's, you know, it's not in any way, shape, or form a surprise to anyone that's been paying
[01:44:35] attention to the Abraham Accords, to the way that the Kushners operate, the way that
[01:44:38] the Faith Trump family operates, right?
[01:44:42] And the White House actually came out.
[01:44:46] The White House came out and said, it's sad that Dropsite News reporters in air quotes
[01:44:52] are so filled with hate for America, and devoid of respect for themselves, that they have
[01:44:56] become full-throated propagandists for the Iranian regime.
[01:45:00] What gives?
[01:45:19] Is this true?
[01:45:20] Yes, it is true.
[01:45:24] Turkish American businessman, Hasan Piker, started following maritime and port authority
[01:45:27] of Singapore.
[01:45:28] Yes.
[01:45:29] It is true.
[01:45:30] do business in Singapore? Like, what do you want? Get off my ass, dude.
[01:45:41] So yeah, classic, classic Trump moment, classic Trump situation, never let a crisis go to
[01:45:49] waste. Obviously, the primary focus for Trump and his allies, his closest allies are, how
[01:45:56] How do we get the bag here?
[01:45:58] Uh, you know, the, the
[01:45:59] Doesn't matter if we're collapsing the energy markets around the world, doesn't matter if this is creating tremendous economic pressure even, uh, on the United States of America, doesn't matter if this is actually harming the Republican Party's future prospects.
[01:46:14] None of that matters.
[01:46:16] The only thing that matters is who's going to get the bag.
[01:46:18] Is Jared Kushner going to make money?
[01:46:21] That's what matters.
[01:46:22] Art of this deal, art of the steel.
[01:46:25] And then two weeks had we not done to be two bombers had we not bombed their nuclear sites
[01:46:31] at three nuclear sites.
[01:46:32] And there's another one we're looking at right now, as you know, pickaxe, yeah, we're looking
[01:46:36] at pickaxe because somebody said there's a little activity.
[01:46:39] You know, we have cameras, space force, we have cameras that are, they can read the
[01:46:43] badge, they can read your name, probably Mohammed, they can read your name on a badge from, from
[01:46:49] space and every area of him,
[01:46:53] He had to hit that. Oh, there's a badge. Probably Mohammed. They always named their children Mohammed. Nice, dude, Bonnie.
[01:47:02] I mean, he ain't wrong, but...
[01:47:04] Yeah, I expect the other three are covered, but specifically, if they make any move, they make any move,
[01:47:10] we immediately go and do whatever we have to do, but they haven't. It was so decimant.
[01:47:16] Some weapons experts say that the United States doesn't have the ability to strike deep enough
[01:47:22] with these bunker buster bombs at Pickaxe Mountain. They can go deep. We have good good stuff.
[01:47:28] Nobody knows about Pickaxe. By the way, nobody knows if they even are doing anything in Pickaxe.
[01:47:33] It's just something that comes up. We have cameras on it. There's very little activity there.
[01:47:38] But if there's even just a small amount, we'll hit it and we'll hit it hard.
[01:47:42] I want to ask you about the telegun facility. It's outside of Tehran, and it was hit in US strikes previously.
[01:47:48] These are satellite images from June and July. And on June 22nd, you can see activity at this site.
[01:47:56] And then on July 7th, there is movement. There are trucks and cranes and in that image freshly poured concrete.
[01:48:03] What do these images say to you?
[01:48:05] What I'm hearing is that they put and what they've watched it that they poured concrete to close up the entrances so we couldn't get into it.
[01:48:12] So that's what they're saying, but we can hit that one very easily.
[01:48:16] You know, it only takes a matter of minutes for us to do it and do major damage, major damage.
[01:48:21] And when they know it's coming, they disappear. Yeah, that's exactly what I'm seeing here.
[01:48:26] And, and, sir, on Monday you announced that the United States is reimposing the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports.
[01:48:34] Yeah, started now.
[01:48:35] Shipping data trackers indicate that just 10 vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, less than 10% of what normally goes through this critical waterway.
[01:48:45] When you say the Strait is open, what do you mean?
[01:48:48] It's open if people want to go through it. We're not opening it for Iran. That's the only one it's closed for. It's closed for Iran both in and out, but it's open now.
[01:48:57] A lot of things.
[01:48:59] Mr. President, you're giving me conflicting signals. It seems to me like it's not open because you're now implementing a secondary blockade on top of the Iranian blockade, and the Iranians are saying that the Strait of Hormuz is not open.
[01:49:13] So it doesn't seem like it's open at all.
[01:49:17] What do you say to that?
[01:49:20] It's open. I promise you it's open. It's more open than it's ever been. It's so porous.
[01:49:26] It's just close for Iran, but if you are a brave, you are a brave shipper, you can pass
[01:49:35] through with ease, it's not a problem.
[01:49:46] Not exactly sure how it can be open while it's closed by both the Iranians and closed
[01:49:53] by the Americans, but I guess it's loose. The hormones is loose.
[01:49:58] This has happened during the last few months. Pipelines are being built. We're coming up
[01:50:04] with great alternatives, including Texas, including Alaska. You've called the new leadership
[01:50:10] in Iran a changed regime. Do you still believe that? Well, I knew the first group for a little
[01:50:15] while and they were evil and they're no longer with us. I knew the second group also a little
[01:50:21] bit better and they were evil and they no longer with us and the third group they have
[01:50:26] some bad ones in there some very bad ones in there just I think they're the ones that
[01:50:30] are stopping a deal so are you negotiating with the wrong people well now we I don't
[01:50:36] want to negotiate now I said let's not negotiate three days ago we had a deal when was the
[01:50:41] last time you spoke with an Iranian official well not me but let's say my representatives
[01:50:47] I have spoken to my representatives over the course of, well, actually an hour ago and
[01:50:56] what message was delivered. They want to make a deal, but every time they make a deal, they
[01:51:00] break it. They don't want to die.
[01:51:03] It's projection. Everything that he says is pure projection. It's us. We are the ones
[01:51:10] who keep violating the deal on principle. We are the ones who keep acting as though
[01:51:16] their side is unclear. Um, and I think most people can see it, especially because Trump
[01:51:23] is just not a very, Trump is just not a very reliable orator. He does not understand anything
[01:51:32] and it knows even less and is constantly, uh, is constantly contradicting himself oftentimes
[01:51:40] in the same conversation. Trader Hormuz is open, but we have a blockade. It's just not
[01:51:44] real blockade is just a blockade for Iran. Everyone else can pass through, but also Iran
[01:51:49] is blocking the Shraddha Hormuz. So technically it's not actually open. What are you supposed to do?
[01:51:55] I mean, again, he contradicts himself so much, he throws out ridiculous shit, like the 20%
[01:52:02] toll system that he was going to implement, who he backed away from in this conversation.
[01:52:07] And by the way, it's a guarantee that he will say the toll is back on.
[01:52:14] Just so you understand if you're confused by this process tomorrow the day after he could just as easily turn back the toll
[01:52:21] Okay, this time it's not 20% but this time it's maybe 5%
[01:52:26] So, you know, he's just fucking he's just throwing shit at the wall seeing what sticks
[01:52:32] What I want to die
[01:52:34] Yeah, about an hour ago and what message was delivered?
[01:52:40] You better make it do you're not gonna have any
[01:52:42] You're not gonna have anybody left
[01:52:44] We're being very careful with the civilian population as you know, but I said you better make a deal, you're not going to have anything left.
[01:52:51] Are you?
[01:52:51] And you think they will?
[01:52:53] They should, I don't know if they will or not.
[01:52:55] Sir, thank you for speaking with Fox News.
[01:52:57] Thank you, thank you very much.
[01:53:00] President Trump also spoke about the investigation into the Minab school strike, his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and broader topics including the war in Ukraine.
[01:53:10] We will have updates throughout the day tomorrow on Fox News.
[01:53:13] Right, we'll run some more sound bites later with the panel train. Nice job. We're very carefully hitting all the civilians
[01:53:20] Be sure to like and subscribe for all the Fox news later
[01:53:26] Channel 12 the head of the shim bet responded the pressure from serenity. I would agree to grant her lifelong security protection
[01:53:32] Contrary to the position of professional bodies within the agency. Oh great
[01:53:35] I'm sure the Israeli taxpayers will love that.
[01:53:39] And by that I mean we should love that, right?
[01:53:41] I mean we are the Israeli taxpayers.
[01:53:44] Make the timing of this because we've been talking in the last couple of mornings about
[01:53:50] the fact that there have been overnight strikes.
[01:53:52] It takes another level of boldness, potentially also an indication of the kind of threat level
[01:53:57] to those forces when they operate during the day surely.
[01:54:00] Yeah, no, absolutely.
[01:54:01] I think this marks, am I understanding anyway,
[01:54:03] but my calculations, the seventh and eight days worth
[01:54:06] of strikes, and as you say, it's the first really,
[01:54:08] sort of like during the daytime hours,
[01:54:11] particularly the volume of which they're doing.
[01:54:13] I think it's more of an indication that they're starting
[01:54:15] to degrade in a significant way anyway,
[01:54:17] the air defense capabilities along the Persian Gulf.
[01:54:20] Where is Michael Clark?
[01:54:24] For the Iranian infrastructure that's used to target
[01:54:26] the cargoes, and here we can see obviously,
[01:54:28] percent com footage showing some of these strikes over the last
[01:54:31] sort of few days. And it's interesting as well, the fact
[01:54:34] that I think several of us, including myself, we're expecting
[01:54:37] this to almost escalate a little bit more than it has over the
[01:54:40] last 24 hours. We've seen this period now. I think most people
[01:54:43] thought maybe two, three days a week tops. And obviously, this
[01:54:46] has gone over the the eight day period where we can start to
[01:54:49] expect the the escalatory ladder, so to speak, rise where one
[01:54:54] or other side, more likely the Americans will actually take more
[01:54:57] military riskier approaches. And as we can see from this, this latest round today, so far it just seems to be more strikes against military infrastructure on the coast, which is no bad thing in and of itself, because if they're being used to target the cargo ships, and that's obviously, you know, this is something that does need to be addressed, and the military can do that.
[01:55:13] that. Talk about the measure of risk and escalation. It seems notable that in response
[01:55:22] to these strikes, Iran has been targeting US military infrastructure and sites itself,
[01:55:27] whether that's in Q8 Bahrain elsewhere. It hasn't in this round been targeting Gulf States'
[01:55:32] petrochemical industries and refineries. Iran seems to be trying to calibrate its response
[01:55:38] here too. Yeah, I think it's really interesting. Two months ago, this would have been met with,
[01:55:42] as you said, strikes against either civilian infrastructure,
[01:55:45] particularly the tourist infrastructure in the UAE,
[01:55:47] as well as energy infrastructure across those Gulf states.
[01:55:49] And the idea by the Iranians was to cause such pressure
[01:55:52] on America's allies through horizontal escalation.
[01:55:55] That will cause the wedge between the Americans
[01:55:58] and their Gulf allies,
[01:55:58] which they need critically to host their military bases
[01:56:01] to target Iran more directly.
[01:56:03] By not doing that, I think in the last 30 days,
[01:56:05] we've seen the pressure diplomatically placed on Iran,
[01:56:08] particularly by states like the UAE,
[01:56:09] by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait,
[01:56:12] to sort of limit those just to the American military facilities.
[01:56:15] And it has to be said, 10 years ago,
[01:56:16] this would have been almost unfathomable for significant US
[01:56:19] bases in the region, particularly the 7th Fleet on Bahrain
[01:56:22] to be attacked in such a direct manner by the Iranians
[01:56:25] to not then incur, like I said, on the escalator ladder,
[01:56:28] further repercussions rather than just targeting
[01:56:30] strikes against missile bases.
[01:56:31] It's interesting.
[01:56:32] It reminds me of 2021, following the killing of Qasem Salamani
[01:56:35] and the Iranians targeted US military bases in Iraq.
[01:56:39] And they calibrated that response to try and find
[01:56:41] where they all swim in the escalatory ladder.
[01:56:43] Exactly.
[01:56:44] With all of this in mind, this is a very different situation.
[01:56:46] It's much bigger. It's ongoing.
[01:56:48] It is ongoing.
[01:56:49] What is the strategy here for the US, in particular,
[01:56:53] because it seems to be leading the tempo at the moment?
[01:56:55] Yeah, exactly.
[01:56:55] This is actually really interesting
[01:56:57] when we're looking at it from the political and the military
[01:56:58] angle.
[01:56:59] Now, any military strike or military action
[01:57:01] is a tool of foreign policy.
[01:57:03] And the strategy behind it, politically,
[01:57:05] hasn't really been conveyed.
[01:57:06] And I think the strikes that we've seen over the last sort
[01:57:09] of seven days, eight days,
[01:57:11] it really sort of is an evolution of this conflict,
[01:57:15] which is still only four months old.
[01:57:17] It's relatively speaking, a very young conflict.
[01:57:19] It's yet to mature or to progress into
[01:57:21] like a middle conflict or a middle war.
[01:57:23] And it starts off with these sort of decapitation strikes
[01:57:26] against the Iranian government
[01:57:27] by the American and Israeli strikes back in February 28th.
[01:57:31] And now we can really see this is almost evolving
[01:57:33] into like a war for Hamas, the control of the straits.
[01:57:36] So I think we can see this now
[01:57:38] permeating through the next couple of weeks.
[01:57:40] Like I say that escalator ladder, it's going to be interesting to see who just ratchets
[01:57:43] is, you know, the notch ever so slightly more to put more pressure on the other two to come
[01:57:47] back down.
[01:57:48] All right, we're not going to do the JD Vance conversation right now because there's or
[01:57:55] at least we can do bits and pieces of it.
[01:57:58] I'm going to be honest, Pete fucking British would be commenting on all the world conflicts
[01:58:01] when their nation was the one who set it up for conflict.
[01:58:04] Yeah, of course.
[01:58:06] But you know, I do personally enjoy not watching Michael Clark any longer because Michael Clark
[01:58:14] got bored of basically repeating the same fucking thing over and over again.
[01:58:21] It's, you know, they had to bring in new talent to say the same thing, that America's fucked.
[01:58:29] Trump is live.
[01:58:30] All right, let's see what Trump is saying.
[01:58:32] It's not strong or that shouldn't be there. And it's like, I call it central casting
[01:58:39] Washington, DC. We're using the military in there and our crime rates down 92% and it's
[01:58:46] gone.
[01:58:47] Also, yeah, before we, before we get into the Pennsylvania Defense and Innovation Summit,
[01:58:51] there's obviously something I have to give you. We already covered the drop site piece.
[01:58:58] Uh, Hakeem Jeffries, Israel. Oh, here it is. Ladies and gentlemen, the Department of War
[01:59:05] is making some changes. The Department of War is making some changes.
[01:59:14] Pete Kegsbreath has decided our units, our soldiers are not fuckable enough. Okay. There's
[01:59:22] real crisis taking place in the Department of War in our war fighters. In their hearts and their
[01:59:30] minds and their souls even. But more importantly their bodies. They are not fuckable enough. We
[01:59:37] got to make sure that they're sexy. They're low T. We got to make sure they got high T. Let's take
[01:59:44] a look at the Department of War. We have the most elite warriors on the face of the earth.
[01:59:49] Every single day, you are pushed to your absolute physical and mental limits to master the profession of arms.
[01:59:58] We demand your all, and you give it.
[02:00:01] But while we invest heavily in our weapons systems, platforms, and gear, our most decisive tactical advantage will always be the individual warfighter.
[02:00:11] We have a sacred duty to maintain that advantage, which is why we must constantly look for new
[02:00:17] ways to optimize your performance, your resilience, and your long-term health.
[02:00:23] And to meet that commitment today, I'm authorizing a new screening program for testosterone deficiency
[02:00:30] for our service members, ensuring you have the right testosterone levels to operate at
[02:00:35] your absolute best because it's well established science that as we age testosterone levels
[02:00:41] often naturally drop.
[02:00:46] I guess I got to sign up to the military now boys.
[02:00:48] I'm trying to get on that fucking TRT baby he ain't wrong he ain't wrong trying to get
[02:00:55] my dick hard trying to make sure my dicks the hardest it's ever been cutting through motherfucking
[02:01:01] diamonds dude under the supervision of our world-class medical professionals
[02:01:07] warfighters age 30 and older are going to be tested annually as part of their periodic health
[02:01:13] assessment it's a health assessment that happens every year we're just adding this test those under
[02:01:18] 30 can volunteer it is very funny that the most transphobic administration has decided to do gender
[02:01:25] reaffirming care for its military. It's fucking awesome to get the test as well. If treatment
[02:01:32] is recommended, it's entirely your choice to receive testosterone replacement therapy.
[02:01:40] This initiative, it's not about artificial enhancement. It's about restoring and optimizing
[02:01:46] your natural capabilities, protecting your longevity and ensuring you have the biological
[02:01:51] foundation required to sustain the fight. We owe our warriors the absolute best
[02:01:57] medical care in the world and this program delivers on that obligation.
[02:02:02] Taking care of your long-term health means ensuring you remain strong,
[02:02:06] resilient, and capable, not just for your next deployment but for the rest of your
[02:02:10] life so you can thrive long after you take off the uniform. As we know the
[02:02:16] modern battlefield is brutal and unrelenting.
[02:02:20] It requires and demands maximum psychological
[02:02:23] and mental readiness.
[02:02:25] And by addressing these health markers early,
[02:02:28] we're keeping you on the leading edge.
[02:02:30] Is there any historical,
[02:02:32] there has to be like a dying empire that decided
[02:02:35] that their units were not sexy enough.
[02:02:39] There's gotta be.
[02:02:41] What, you wanna come back in?
[02:02:42] Kyle.
[02:02:46] Oh my God. Wait, hold on. Hold on. You got to see this.
[02:02:51] Can you see from? Can you see the shade? Oh, no, the you can't see.
[02:02:58] She's on the other side trying to paw the door to open it.
[02:03:04] Come in.
[02:03:09] Nazi Germany, is that a, is that an analog?
[02:03:19] Hold on here.
[02:03:20] I'll show you.
[02:03:21] it a little bit maybe she's she monitored the situation okay there's
[02:03:51] There's a bunch of people here, the HVAC guys are here, so she had to go monitor that.
[02:03:58] She had to go monitor that.
[02:04:00] She got it out of her system, now she's like, all right, enough.
[02:04:03] It's too hot out there, we're back in.
[02:04:13] It's nap time.
[02:04:16] You got to get these sleeves shortened, bro, holy, wait, what are you talking about?
[02:04:19] the sleeves are actually perfect.
[02:04:22] The sleeves are actually perfect length.
[02:04:23] You're wrong.
[02:04:33] The suit is bespoke.
[02:04:35] The suit is bespoke.
[02:04:39] If anything, the arms on the shirt are too short.
[02:04:42] Don't come at me for the suit.
[02:04:49] Your suit sleeves are shorter. Well, this is Chinese.
[02:04:58] Anyways, I'm giving you the same level of support that you give this nation the absolute best.
[02:05:06] Godspeed, keep going. God bless.
[02:05:09] at the department. So yeah, we're putting them on TRT, baby. That's where we're at,
[02:05:23] which I love and I'm in favor of. Hell yeah. All right. JD Jettadiah Vance went on.
[02:05:32] The Joseph Robinette Rogan experience is three hours long. Don't know if I want to watch the whole
[02:05:39] thing. Having said that, however, just because the Chinese doesn't mean it fits, hello, what
[02:05:50] was that defense? What? Chatter is the first time they've been correct. It's not. Euro
[02:05:57] suits have shorter arm length. This arm length is perfect for me and I'm happy with it. And
[02:06:03] you guys are wrong. Okay. That's it. Um, it's three hours, uh,
[02:06:12] but we're going to look at some of the highlights from the Joseph Robinette Rogan experience.
[02:06:16] But before we do that, Katie Halper had two of my goats on, uh, John goat,
[02:06:21] Shimer, and also Yannis goat of focus. And, uh, you know, I'm, I'm a little jealous, but,
[02:06:30] Or no, not even Yanis go to focus.
[02:06:33] I think he had John Gosheimer and also Norm Finkelstein, Finkelgoat.
[02:06:39] Power, but power by itself doesn't tell you very much.
[02:06:43] This is why we lose all these wars.
[02:06:44] They are real limits to what you can do with all that power.
[02:06:48] And one of the problems with American policymakers is they have no sense of the limits of military
[02:06:54] power.
[02:06:55] They think because we have this giant hammer, we can run around the world and either chorus
[02:06:59] people or beat them into submission. I think Giannis is exactly right. The Iran war has
[02:07:07] fundamentally altered our ability to project power into the Persian Gulf. It's done enormous
[02:07:15] damage to our alliance structure in the Gulf region. So the war has had huge consequences,
[02:07:22] but the basic power of the United States has not changed at all. We are as powerful as ever
[02:07:31] and therefore as dangerous as ever. This war may prove, unlike all the other wars,
[02:07:37] a bridge to far from the United States hegemony. You and I
[02:07:40] agree completely that military might has an economic foundation and it's really the economic
[02:07:49] foundation that matters the most. And despite the military defeat in Vietnam, the United
[02:07:57] States was doing things at the economic level that if anything made it stronger. And that's why
[02:08:05] military defeat did not matter. Same with the same with the war on terror. Same with the global
[02:08:12] war on terror. This is exactly what I've also mentioned from the start since the beginning
[02:08:19] of Operation Epic Fury. The major difference here is that this has global economic consequences
[02:08:28] that are forcing Trump's hand, major global economic consequences that are obviously disrupting,
[02:08:37] that are obviously harmful to the rest of the world in a way that the global war on
[02:08:46] terror never did. And therefore, this is genuinely harming America's position as the hegemon.
[02:08:58] One of the most consequential aspects of America's position as the leader of the free world,
[02:09:08] as the global hegemonic superpower, is that it has, with its great power, great responsibility.
[02:09:15] One of the responsibilities that America has is to make sure that, in the term I'm going
[02:09:20] to be using, that I've been using quite a bit, free commerce continues flowing, that
[02:09:26] There are no impediments, no obstructions to trade.
[02:09:31] This is our international design.
[02:09:34] We created this design, and we were the defenders of this design.
[02:09:41] International capitalism is fickle.
[02:09:44] International trade is fickle.
[02:09:46] Commerce has to continue happening, trade has to continue happening, and a big part
[02:09:49] of that is to ensure that trade routes have no impediments.
[02:09:54] Singapore understands this, okay? We are the guardians of commerce. I mean, one of the operations against Yemen
[02:10:03] against the Ansar Allah movement against the Houthis
[02:10:08] was literally called Operation Prosperity Guardian
[02:10:11] when the Yemeni brigades, when the Ansar Allah movement was
[02:10:17] striking at
[02:10:18] shipping vessels
[02:10:20] going through the Bob L. Mondev straight through the Red Sea,
[02:10:25] restricting commerce in that regard was unacceptable. We literally called it Operation
[02:10:30] Prosperity Guardian. That is, unironically, our highest priority. If you can't, if you can't
[02:10:40] continue, if you cannot guarantee trade from taking place in the straight of hormones,
[02:10:49] You can't guarantee ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz with ease, without impediments,
[02:10:55] without any sort of restrictions, then you're no longer the hegemon, okay?
[02:11:01] Now, it's even worse because we caused the blockage.
[02:11:08] We caused the Strait of Hormuz to close, and we're furthering that damage every single
[02:11:15] day that we refuse to deal with Iran.
[02:11:25] What the fuck?
[02:11:27] Over 300 Hassan the Hun fans reached out to me to tell me why they watched Sampiker and
[02:11:30] then I spent the next month interviewing, researching and editing to figure out why people
[02:11:34] like him.
[02:11:35] Oh shit, this is sick.
[02:11:36] piker his whoa hell yeah stoke to watch this stoke to watch we'll watch it
[02:11:50] we'll watch it later um i agree completely with that it actually helped it
[02:11:57] had no that actually helped it was a force multiplier that you're on and i
[02:12:02] agree with that. But it also seems you're saying that the situation may be different now. As
[02:12:09] a result of the Iran war, we have done things to the health of the American economy that
[02:12:16] are going to damage our position moving forward.
[02:12:20] Indeed, that's exactly what I'm saying. I'm saying that, look, Donald Trump, in his first
[02:12:24] year in office now, during Trump 2.0, he secured commitments from the Gulf states of about
[02:12:31] 3.7 trillion over the next 18 months. Now, Scott Besson knows that this money is not coming because
[02:12:36] of the liquidity problems that the Gulf States have, all bets are off regarding that 3.7 trillion
[02:12:41] that was going to arrive in Wall Street to keep recycling other people's money through the markets
[02:12:47] of the United States and to finance, importantly, the American military and the American government.
[02:12:52] what are you doing? I don't understand what's going on here.
[02:13:10] She's monitoring the situation, just like we're monitoring the situation with
[02:13:15] shippings and logistics in the Strait of Hormuz, the Strait of Malacca, which is always open,
[02:13:19] obviously, because Singapore is the guarantor of the safety of the Strait of Malacca, but
[02:13:24] she's monitoring the situation with the HVAC guys walking past the door.
[02:13:33] We're all monitoring the situation in our own world, as well as equities, as well as real estate.
[02:13:40] None of the previous wars did anything to damage that recycling mechanism.
[02:13:43] But what would you say to the argument that actually Trump is being motivated by economic
[02:13:49] considerations that he knows he has to put an end to this war and he's sort of
[02:13:54] accepting your logic at a very general level and he's backpedaling like crazy
[02:14:00] are you saying Trump is a Yanist? okay I want to want wait is there I need to
[02:14:06] watch this I need to watch this full video now this has got to be our but
[02:14:11] power by itself doesn't tell you this is a absolute banger dude 555,000 views we
[02:14:16] We got both, we got Yannis and Goat Shammer.
[02:14:19] Very much.
[02:14:20] We got to see this.
[02:14:21] We got to see all these wars.
[02:14:22] The question-
[02:14:23] This is a clinic.
[02:14:24] This is an absolute clinic, folks.
[02:14:26] You should be asking it.
[02:14:27] God, I'm such a fucking nerd.
[02:14:29] It's so stupid.
[02:14:30] We are the nerdiest, dumbest fucking community
[02:14:32] on the internet.
[02:14:33] I just, sometimes I catch myself getting excited
[02:14:36] to hear what the former Greek finance minister
[02:14:39] and a Chicago university professor
[02:14:42] who wrote the book on offensive realism
[02:14:44] has to say about the the Strait of Hormuz crisis. And it's just like, who would
[02:14:51] ever, I never thought, I never thought that I would be able to share this
[02:14:56] excitement with an arena full of people. Okay.
[02:15:09] Fantastic.
[02:15:10] If John says the United States is so powerful.
[02:15:13] Yeah, when your own autism scares you a little,
[02:15:15] but why does it lose all these wars?
[02:15:17] And the point is that there are real limits to what you can do with all that power.
[02:15:22] This is more Pegaslop has shooters on Twitter.
[02:15:25] More, uh, more Pegaslop slop tubers, colleagues, sensitive society takes us on
[02:15:29] Singapore meme very seriously.
[02:15:30] It's not his fans are definitely taking a step further than Pegasus.
[02:15:32] If one crazy person for a tragedy to happen,
[02:15:35] it takes one crazy person for a tragedy to happen.
[02:15:38] This is where it gets into dangerous territory.
[02:15:40] Wait, what?
[02:15:41] One crazy person in the Singaporean government? Like what are we talking about?
[02:15:46] No, I think everyone who's watching this video knows exactly what his son is trying to do here.
[02:15:51] Once again, it goes back to the half-joking, half-serious, and hoping all of these things sticks
[02:15:57] and the government could investigate Pegasus, but I mean, I'm no lawyer.
[02:16:00] I want to say that, but I don't think you're going to kill him live on stream on Twitch.
[02:16:05] He's trolling, but at the same time, he's...
[02:16:07] Doug, more Pegaslop has been calling me a terrorist and a terrorist supporter.
[02:16:11] For every single day for the last two years. What are you talking about?
[02:16:17] Like I can't even joke about it I
[02:16:22] Can't even joke about it a little bit we can't even we came to crack jokes
[02:16:31] Soy fascism dude
[02:16:33] Troubling with the hopes of something sticking. I don't know like just be open about it
[02:16:37] just be like, you know, I want Pegasus to be fucking shot.
[02:16:40] I want him to get Kurtz.
[02:16:41] I want him to.
[02:16:42] I never said any of those things and I don't want any of those things.
[02:16:45] All I look, look.
[02:16:53] As someone who is a big business owner, as someone who is responsible for
[02:17:02] units moving all around the world as a shipping magnate, as a billionaire international finance
[02:17:11] guy shipping magnate, as someone in this community that is really invested in import and exports.
[02:17:20] This is my passion. My passion is to do business with the nation's state of Singapore.
[02:17:25] And as someone who's very passionate about doing business with the nation's state of Singapore,
[02:17:29] I'm simply saying, check the suit, okay? Simply saying, we want to make sure that Singapore
[02:17:37] is a country that we can continue doing trade with. But we have concerns. Unfortunately,
[02:17:44] we love the nation state. We love the city state of Singapore.
[02:17:49] We have some concerns that Singapore is not following or applying its laws evenly. That's it.
[02:17:55] That's it.
[02:17:56] That's it.
[02:17:59] I am a POC, a person of capital.
[02:18:06] It's true.
[02:18:10] That's all we're saying.
[02:18:13] I mean, just be open about it.
[02:18:15] Just be like, yeah, you know, that's what I want.
[02:18:17] That would make me feel good.
[02:18:19] I do respect someone that has open intent instead of just be like,
[02:18:22] I'll be kind of funny if you get killed. I mean, I wouldn't support that but I don't know be kind of funny
[02:18:27] Yeah, for I've never said those words, but I guess they're hallucinating with his son
[02:18:33] He's Joe the only thing that's being killed right now is our hopes and dreams
[02:18:37] We're continuing to do commerce with the nation of Singapore. That's it
[02:18:44] That's it
[02:18:45] The only thing that's being killed are our hopes and dreams to continue doing trade to continue
[02:18:51] improving the GDP of the beautiful city-state of Singapore folks and his
[02:18:58] whole satire it just doesn't hit it just not funny so his point it's not
[02:19:04] funny
[02:19:09] Loki fair game I think we should do the same to you to Hassan
[02:19:14] ironically this is more harassment than Pegasus wait what Loki we should do the
[02:19:20] same to Hassan is in what call me a terrorist for the past three years, two years. Isn't
[02:19:27] that what you guys have been doing already? This is like when Donald Trump says, we're
[02:19:33] going to bomb Iran extra hard. It's like, wow, really? Really? This is going to change the
[02:19:41] dynamic dramatically folks. This time it's different. This is like when Epstein comes
[02:19:48] out and he's like, you know what? The gloves are off. We're going to start harassing Hasan
[02:19:56] and everyone that he's actually encountered. It's like, wow, this is going to be a real different
[02:20:02] experience for me as opposed to the last six years for Epstein as opposed to the last two years
[02:20:10] for these guys. Very different. How is this more harassment in a daily video for 500 plus
[02:20:18] days, they're delusional. I know it's really funny, but I'll be honest, the more they do this,
[02:20:25] the more they do this, the more I want to retaliate by continuing to fuck around and meme around,
[02:20:32] because it's obviously pissing them off.
[02:20:36] This has ever done. Pegasus just talks about him and his shitty tags that he sees on Twitter.
[02:20:40] I don't think Pegasus has reported his son to the US government. I think he talks about it,
[02:20:46] But I don't think he's ever directly tried to DM Trump
[02:20:50] Be like yo, Trump could you hook me up? So this guy his song he gotta go
[02:20:55] I don't think he's doing that and if he has based and based Pegasus, but it's also
[02:21:03] So he's not doing that you're suspecting I'm doing that but if Pegasus was doing that then that would be base got it I
[02:21:10] I like I like that these guys are so one fucking speed where they just contradict themselves in real-time in broad daylight in the same commentary
[02:21:22] In a one minute and 24 second video
[02:21:24] I'm and his fans are definitely taking it a
[02:21:28] Step further than Pegasus has and when you do stuff like this
[02:21:31] You're just asking to being harassed back
[02:21:34] So and the thing with his son and his audience is that I wouldn't be surprised if one out of those
[02:21:40] Thousands of people on ironically flies to Singapore and tries to do something to him
[02:21:44] It only takes one crazy person out of thousands out of millions for a tragedy to happen
[02:21:49] So this is where he gets into dangerous territory. It's like a Pegasus was like, you know
[02:21:54] If you see your son in the street shooting I would be like, you know, what the fuck are you doing?
[02:21:58] And I feel the same way when people are alluding to violence when we know what
[02:22:02] I've, that's an insane fantasy. First of all, no one has to worry about flying to Singapore,
[02:22:14] at least myself. I would like to fly to Singapore. I would like to do trade in Singapore, but
[02:22:19] for the time being, I can't do any trade in Singapore because I'm worried about my stalker
[02:22:24] and my cyber harassment, the guy that's been doing cyber harassment against me is, is unfortunately
[02:22:37] doing so from the nation state of Singapore, the city state of Singapore, and therefore
[02:22:41] I probably will not be traveling to Singapore anytime soon. I wanted to, I always think
[02:22:46] about it. I dream about it every day. But unfortunately, I cannot. I cannot do commerce
[02:22:54] for the time being in the beautiful state of Singapore. People are capable of actually
[02:23:00] think that his son is going to pull up to Singapore and shoot Pegasus in the head and
[02:23:04] then hump his body. No, I don't think that's actually going to happen in case they need
[02:23:09] it to be said out loud. No, I don't think that's the case. But after everything we've
[02:23:13] seen over the last few months, years. We know how obsessive fans get. We know the political
[02:23:21] climate. Wait, what I don't understand with Sawyer Wright is awesome. I love when right-wingers
[02:23:29] literally, even jokingly, receive like a fraction of pushback and they straight up turn around
[02:23:35] they're like oh my god you want to murder me um how does this work how does this work at all
[02:23:47] like if you're obsessively made videos twice a day for like the last you know 300 plus days or
[02:23:54] you 150 plus I don't know if you've done if you've made daily videos because I think the
[02:23:58] number of videos that he's made on me is is more than 400 now and in those videos he's calling
[02:24:05] me a terrorist in those videos, he's slandering me, defaming me from the nation state of Singapore,
[02:24:11] which has serious laws about this sort of thing for the record, serious laws that they're not
[02:24:17] following through on, at least for the time being, which is a little bit disappointing, but I still,
[02:24:24] I still have hope in my heart that one day I can freely travel to the state of Singapore.
[02:24:31] Um, England scored. Oh shit. Good. I guess. Okay. Again, no response.
[02:24:44] There's so much other shit going on. Talk about clavism thing. Why do you guys get so mad?
[02:24:49] I have 40 ships waiting stuck at sea waiting for a resolution.
[02:24:53] Stop. There's so much other shit going on. Talk about clavism thing.
[02:24:56] gold. This guy is literally ADHD brain. But yeah, it's funny that he's saying that like the two
[02:25:06] times were, or what, how many times have I mentioned him now? Like five? Like the five total times that
[02:25:13] I've mentioned him on stream, after 400 plus videos, and he's like, well, you want to murder him.
[02:25:20] So what does what does what does more Pegaslop want to do then to me
[02:25:29] What does more Pegaslop want to do to me then with the 400 plus videos that he's done, I mean he is clearly a
[02:25:39] Significantly large audience and it only takes one unhinged
[02:25:43] Loser to be like yeah, I got a worship my lord and savior his son and my lord and savior his son would want me
[02:25:51] To fly out to Singapore and take care of business if you will they only takes one
[02:25:56] Unhinged individual for shit to get out of control real fast. The son has been a lot more extreme
[02:26:02] I just don't want this to ask
[02:26:04] What is this sensitive society has too many has some videos to count here a few bye bye
[02:26:08] I saw more Pegasus came all over Hassan and he's mad lawsuit Hassan just got exposed big fucking time
[02:26:14] Yeah, I don't really know who the fuck this guy is but
[02:26:20] Wonder if he's violating his local rules
[02:26:27] Yeah, I don't understand how he doesn't apply his logic to making those videos on you because again more Pegasus is based and I'm evil I
[02:26:36] Think that's what it is
[02:26:38] Yeah, starting to feel like he's threatening me.
[02:26:45] Go away to a tragic level.
[02:26:52] What?
[02:26:53] Yeah.
[02:26:54] When more Pegasus calls us on a terrorist 500,000 times, that's based in good.
[02:27:00] When a son makes a joke, um, talking about being an international shipping magnet, whoa,
[02:27:06] whoa, whoa, buddy.
[02:27:07] Are you trying to murder him?
[02:27:08] Are you trying to murder him with a gun?
[02:27:10] No, I'm not, actually.
[02:27:12] I don't think more Pegasus is trying to murder me.
[02:27:15] You know, I think he's just farming.
[02:27:18] I think he's just trying to make money.
[02:27:22] It just happens to be in violation of Singaporean laws
[02:27:26] for cyber-stalking, mass harassment, and also defamation.
[02:27:37] When he says you want to do business with Singapore, do they actually think you want
[02:27:42] it?
[02:27:43] You want to take care of him with a guy?
[02:27:44] Yeah, I don't know why that that's, that's a little bit of an escalation, don't you think?
[02:27:50] Anyway, we got a lot of good stuff to talk about.
[02:27:55] Trump is just chirping, but first we're going to get back to John Goatsheimer, enormous
[02:28:00] damage of US's Iran war laws.
[02:28:03] may prove, unlike all the other wars, a bridge to fight for the United States hegemony.
[02:28:11] With the Iran War, how much does this defeat challenge the U.S. as a hegemon, if at all?
[02:28:19] Look, losing wars has been over the last 40, 50 years utterly consistent with the expansion
[02:28:27] of the hegemonic part of the United States.
[02:28:29] The United States lost to Vietnam War, they lost the war in Iraq, in Afghanistan, Libya
[02:28:34] is a basket case as a result of the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama intervention.
[02:28:41] Look at Bosnia today, for instance, it's a cesspit.
[02:28:44] So failure can be particularly useful to the project of enhancing American hegemony.
[02:28:54] Let's not forget that ever since the Nixon shock in 1971, the United States finally
[02:28:59] The national key Germany has been expanded the deeper into the red the federal government
[02:29:05] and the overall American economy is getting.
[02:29:08] It's a very strange hedge fund in the United States and nothing like the British Empire,
[02:29:15] nothing like the Roman Empire, the Portuguese Empire.
[02:29:18] Failure can be the foundation for success.
[02:29:21] But I think that, to answer your question, this may prove to be a bridge too far, a failure
[02:29:31] too far, a failure that reverberates within the base of MAGA, blue collar workers who
[02:29:39] have voted Trump in a second time, suffering massively.
[02:29:45] They don't understand why he had to go in there.
[02:29:47] Like we don't understand.
[02:29:48] If we don't understand, why would they?
[02:29:51] There is no patriotic fervor about continuing the war in Iran or even supporting the war
[02:29:56] that did take place.
[02:29:58] And with the exception of the Permian Basin, where the frackers have really loved that
[02:30:05] war because it has kept the price of oil in the sweet spot neither too low so that they
[02:30:13] can be profitable, nor too high so that aggregate demand and demand for their oil doesn't tank
[02:30:20] as a result of too high a price.
[02:30:23] The exception of the Permian Basin,
[02:30:25] I think that the mega constituency,
[02:30:29] Trump's support base, even the tech lords, big tech,
[02:30:35] have not been happy with this.
[02:30:37] They may have managed to continue their spending spree
[02:30:41] and splurge on AI and so on.
[02:30:43] And the stock exchange is doing really very well,
[02:30:46] with the exception of the last few days,
[02:30:47] That could be a bleep who knows.
[02:30:50] I genuinely think that losing the Gulf States,
[02:30:54] losing that consensus amongst the Gulf States,
[02:31:00] that there was no alternative to being under the American
[02:31:03] security umbrella, and there was no alternative
[02:31:06] to being absolutely wedded to the dollar system.
[02:31:09] Losing that could be, could prove in the future,
[02:31:13] very costly failure, a failure which unlike all the previous failures is undermining the
[02:31:21] hegemonic power of the United States.
[02:31:24] You know I just wanted to bring up if I may and then I will hand you the mic of course
[02:31:28] John but a fascinating CBS news poll this speaks to what you just brought up Yanis about the
[02:31:37] MAGA base. So found that 56% of self-identified MAGA voters said the US should end the conflict
[02:31:44] with Iran now. 44% said that 44% said the US should continue the war until, quote, Iran
[02:31:56] gives up more, and quote, for all self-identified Republicans surveyed, 60% believed the conflict
[02:32:03] should end, and 40% said war should continue to get more Iranian concessions.
[02:32:09] Also, 47% of MAGA supporters say the agreement is better for the US, while 12% believe it's better
[02:32:17] for Iran, and 41% say it's about equal. Among all Republicans, only 39% said the deal is better
[02:32:24] for the US. 19% see it as better for Iran, and 42% see the deal as equal for both the US and Iran.
[02:32:33] So, just some interesting stats.
[02:32:37] If I could make a quick response on that,
[02:32:39] and then I wanna make a number of points
[02:32:41] in response to what Yanis said,
[02:32:44] and I'm very curious what he will say about what I said.
[02:32:48] But first, on you, Katie,
[02:32:50] I saw a poll that said that 67% of Americans
[02:32:55] want to end the war right away, 67%.
[02:32:59] Furthermore, both the Senate and the House, as you well know, have just passed resolutions
[02:33:06] calling for an end to the war.
[02:33:09] The last time I checked, these are two bodies of Congress that are dominated by Republicans,
[02:33:16] and both Houses of Congress, again, called for ending this war.
[02:33:21] So Giannis made the point that there are many different elements inside the national security
[02:33:27] state here in the United States. And he's absolutely correct. But the point is, if Trump
[02:33:32] wants to-
[02:33:33] Why are there no anti-war riots? Because Americans are clearly, Americans are clearly
[02:33:41] very comfortable, far too comfortable with death and destruction overseas, even if they
[02:33:46] don't want it. Even if they think it's like stupid, even if they're against it, they're
[02:33:51] still fine with it until they're impacted by it. And so far, because of the strategic petroleum
[02:33:58] reserves that the Trump administration has released, the oil and gas market has not been
[02:34:07] impacted, at least in the United States of America, in ways that frustrate people to take action.
[02:34:13] It's obviously, look, gas prices at the pump are high, right? But it's not high enough.
[02:34:19] And then on top of that, on top of that, there haven't been, there haven't been a lot of significant,
[02:34:30] like there hasn't been a significant enough number of troops that have been put in harm's way.
[02:34:36] Like we're virtually insulated from the reality of this conflict on the ground.
[02:34:42] That's just, you know, America's proximity. That happens to have some to do with America's
[02:34:50] proximity to the conflict usually. We don't get to experience the negative consequences in the way
[02:34:55] that like the Asian markets do, in the way that the European markets do, in the way that the African
[02:34:59] markets do. And that's part of the reason why, especially because we don't have boots on the
[02:35:04] ground right now. And as long as we don't have boots on the ground, most Americans are just
[02:35:10] going to think about this as an afterthought had an appeal to the american public and then
[02:35:15] ally himself with those interests inside the national security state who want to end this war
[02:35:21] he could do it um this is a very unpopular war it's a foolish war and all sorts of people
[02:35:28] understand i've already brought this up with respect to israel right there are plenty of
[02:35:35] Americans who are obviously frustrated by, you know, Israel's violence, but the most
[02:35:41] salient point is twofold.
[02:35:45] One, Israel does this with a fuck ton of American tax dollars and with American munition, we
[02:35:52] don't like that.
[02:35:53] And two, perhaps even more consequentially, Israel also is constantly demanding censorship
[02:36:01] and firings of American employees on American businesses
[02:36:05] for speaking out against Israel. That
[02:36:09] is what makes Americans extra frustrated. You understand?
[02:36:16] That's what it is. Americans see the death and destruction.
[02:36:20] They hear that this death and destruction is only happening with our tax
[02:36:23] dollars. Americans don't like that. But then on
[02:36:27] On top of that, when any American calls this out, and then a bunch of Israel first organizations
[02:36:34] come in and say, you have to be fired, you have to lose your job, you're gonna get harassed.
[02:36:40] Americans fucking hate that.
[02:36:44] That is a big part of the reason for why there has been this, why this major sea change took
[02:36:51] place in the attitude that Americans display as it pertains to Israel and our relationship
[02:36:59] with Israel.
[02:37:00] But I want to go back to what Yanis said, and I'm very curious how he thinks about what
[02:37:05] I'm going to say.
[02:37:06] His point that the United States has lost all these wars is correct.
[02:37:09] I think about this all the time.
[02:37:11] I was in the American military from 1965 to 1975, which amazingly was coterminous with
[02:37:17] the Vietnam War.
[02:37:18] We suffered a devastating defeat in the Vietnam War.
[02:37:22] And we have suffered significant defeats in almost every war except the first Gulf War in 1991.
[02:37:31] Who are you barking at?
[02:37:34] Who do you...
[02:37:48] Are you monitoring the situation?
[02:38:06] It's really quite remarkable how bad our track record is, but nevertheless, losing those
[02:38:28] wars has not mattered very much for our position in the world, and I think you were getting
[02:38:32] at the Janus. If you just go back to the Vietnam War, we suffered this catastrophic defeat in 1975,
[02:38:38] the North Vietnamese win a decisive victory. The Americans are humiliated. 14 years later,
[02:38:44] the Cold War ends and then the Soviet Union collapses and we enter the unipolar moment
[02:38:49] where the United States is Godzilla. It's quite remarkable. The Vietnam War had hardly any effect
[02:38:55] at all. And most of those other, if not all of those other defeats, hardly mattered at all for
[02:39:01] for our position in the world.
[02:39:03] So the question is, what's going on here?
[02:39:05] And here's how I think about it.
[02:39:07] I think that I'm a structuralist
[02:39:09] and what I care about is power.
[02:39:11] And I'm concerned with how powerful the United States is,
[02:39:15] how powerful China is,
[02:39:16] what the relative balance of power is between them
[02:39:19] and so forth and so on.
[02:39:21] And the point I would make is that when you think about power,
[02:39:23] what you wanna look at is the population size of a country
[02:39:27] and how much wealth it has.
[02:39:29] And when you talk about wealth,
[02:39:30] what's embedded in that is where it is in terms of developing sophisticated technologies.
[02:39:37] And the United States has been for a long time and still is a remarkably powerful country.
[02:39:45] And it promises to be a remarkably powerful country for the future because it is so wealthy
[02:39:50] and it has such a large population.
[02:39:52] Of course the same is true of China as well.
[02:39:54] I don't want to take away from the Chinese on this front.
[02:39:57] But losing in the Gulf is not going to affect how powerful the United States is.
[02:40:05] What has happened here has much more to do with our ability to project power.
[02:40:11] You can have power, but power by itself doesn't tell you very much.
[02:40:14] This is why we lose all these wars.
[02:40:16] The question viewers should be asking is, if John says the United States is so powerful,
[02:40:20] why does it lose all these wars?
[02:40:22] And the point is that there are real limits to what you can do with all that power.
[02:40:26] And one of the problems with American policymakers is they have no sense of the limits of military
[02:40:30] power.
[02:40:31] They think because we have this giant hammer, we can run around the world and either coerce
[02:40:35] people or beat them into submission.
[02:40:38] And the truth is you can't do that.
[02:40:40] There are limits to what you can do with military power as we have found out on countless occasions.
[02:40:45] So when I look at the Gulf War, excuse me, when I look at the Iran War, I think Janus
[02:40:51] is exactly right. This has fundamentally altered our ability to project power into the Persian Gulf.
[02:40:59] It's destroyed our basing structure in the region and it's done enormous damage to our alliance
[02:41:04] structure in the Gulf. Once you, once you basically gave the game away and you proved to every Gulf
[02:41:12] leadership, every Gulf nation leadership that there's only one country that you care about
[02:41:17] and their foreign policy agenda is far more important than the potentially trillions of
[02:41:23] dollars of economic activity that comes from all the other countries that they're secondary to
[02:41:28] to your love and your unlimited loyalty to not only Israel but Israel's belligerence,
[02:41:35] it's over. Now look, these guys are still fairly vassalized and it doesn't matter
[02:41:41] and they'll take a big beating. And that much is clear. That's why Saudi Arabia is currently
[02:41:47] doing crazy shit with Yemen, right? But ultimately, if these other countries, ultimately, if these
[02:41:56] other countries are recognizing that America is going to place, America is going to place
[02:42:05] them secondary and America is running out of bandwidth to even defend them as they go further
[02:42:12] into this conflict, as though they, you know, if Saudi Arabia is going further into this conflict
[02:42:19] by reinstituting the blockade that it has over Yemen, right? That was a big test. Would the
[02:42:24] Ansar Allah, would the Ansar Allah envoys that went to Iran be able to come back into Zana?
[02:42:30] Saudi struck the airport in Sanaa. Luckily nobody died, but they they had to fly around and land
[02:42:38] in a different airport. But that was obviously a big, that was obviously a big fuck you to Yemen.
[02:42:51] That is the reason why
[02:42:52] why the Houthis are now saying they're going to restart striking Saudi oil facilities. I
[02:43:03] don't know how, you know, I don't know where they go from here, but, but that is an escalation
[02:43:10] from the Saudi side. That's an escalation from the Saudi side that Americans were obviously
[02:43:14] invested in, but, but Saudi could have said, no, we're not going to do that. We're not
[02:43:18] going to implement a blockade over Yemen. We're going to let them travel. We're going
[02:43:23] to let the Houthis travel with ease. The fact that they're doing that means that they're
[02:43:29] still vassalized, because this comes at great cost to the Saudi refineries of the region.
[02:43:38] So the wars had huge consequences, but the basic power of the United States has not changed
[02:43:45] at all. We are as powerful as ever, and therefore as dangerous as ever. So I'll stop there and
[02:43:51] turn it over to Jonas.
[02:43:52] Jonas, I would take what you said and go one step beyond. You mentioned, you juxtaposed
[02:44:01] the most telling detail about this attack. Yeah, yes, you read that right. Saudi Arabia
[02:44:06] used $10, $2 million storm shadow cruise missile, the hits and odds airport runway from a safe
[02:44:11] this as you fail to achieve the main objective, says a lot about their fear of Yemeni air
[02:44:15] defenses.
[02:44:17] The most telling detail about this attack Saudi Arabia denies to have attacked their
[02:44:21] proxy in aiding claims to have done it, as if they had storm shadow cruise missiles or
[02:44:25] fighter jets.
[02:44:26] Saudi Arabia is clearly afraid of retaliation and it should in my opinion.
[02:44:35] I mean they have the remnants of the missile.
[02:44:40] rat fucking has begun. Yes, I saw that. I saw there's two things that happened in Michigan.
[02:44:47] Every day, there's another insane thing that comes out of Michigan politics that I absolutely
[02:44:51] despise defeat of the United States in Vietnam, which you experienced when you were in the military.
[02:44:57] And then you said a few short years after that, the United States wanted a Cold War.
[02:45:01] So it didn't matter. No, I think it didn't matter. I think that the Vietnam War, not on its own,
[02:45:06] was part of the mechanics by which America in the United States won the Cold War. Now, before
[02:45:12] you think that I'm utterly crazy, let me try to explain this. In the end, after I mentioned the
[02:45:19] Nixon shock in 1971, for me, you know, 15th of August, 1971, alongside, you know, the fall of 2008,
[02:45:25] these are two pivotal moments for us to understand the United States, to understand the world.
[02:45:28] So, 1971, Nixon destroys the Bretton Wood system, which was a foundation for the first
[02:45:35] phase of American hegemony after the Civil War, a system of fixed exchange rates, a plant system.
[02:45:41] It was almost, you know, economic planning without public ownership of the means of production.
[02:45:46] It was a remarkable system. Let's not beat about the bush. And yet, the United States blew it up.
[02:45:51] And had Nixon not blown it up, some Democrats have blown it up. You know, LBJ wanted to blow it up
[02:45:55] before that. Why? Because that whole system was predicated upon America being the surplus
[02:45:59] nation, the surplus political economy, recycling its own surpluses in Europe and in Japan,
[02:46:05] so as to create the aggregate demand for American net exports and to maintain American
[02:46:08] surpluses. Well, that could no longer continue because by 1968, 1960, 1970, America was a
[02:46:14] deficit country. And therefore the breakdown of the system had to be blown up. That blowing
[02:46:19] up is what gave rise to the immense power that you're talking about, John, that led
[02:46:24] to the United States winning the Cold War. And the Vietnam War played an important part. There were
[02:46:29] two main spending sprees by the federal government of the United States which led to the budget
[02:46:34] deficits and the deficits in the trade accounts of the United States. One was the Vietnam War,
[02:46:40] massive spending with a lot of leakage, a lot of that demand went overseas and that's how Southeast
[02:46:47] Asia was effectively built up through expenditures that went in the direction of mid-
[02:46:54] project in Southeast Asia and the great society program of LBJ, which was also related to
[02:47:01] the tensions, the social tensions that were unleashed by the Vietnam War, especially in
[02:47:06] the South, in places like Texas and so on.
[02:47:08] So that's what I'm trying to do if you're following me.
[02:47:11] I'm connecting the defeat in Vietnam with the overthrowing, overturning, undermining,
[02:47:17] blowing up of the Berlin system, which did what?
[02:47:20] The answer comes from a certain gentleman that you all remember, Paul Volcker, because
[02:47:25] it was 1970 when Henry Kissinger put a question to the people working for him back then at
[02:47:30] the National Security Council.
[02:47:31] And the question was, typical Kissinger question, how do we maintain our hegemony now that we're
[02:47:36] a deficit country?
[02:47:37] And Paul Volcker was the guy amongst his minions, Kissinger's minions, who said, well, the answer
[02:47:42] is we don't do austerity, we don't go German, we don't tighten our belt, we boost our deficits
[02:47:48] and we make the capitalists of the rest of the world pay for it.
[02:47:50] Essentially, whereas in the first two decades after the war, America was recycling its own
[02:47:54] services to Europe and Asia and Japan, after 1971, it was recycling other people's services.
[02:48:01] So essentially the trade deficit of the United States became something like a gigantic vacuum
[02:48:05] cleaner that was sucking the financialization of the American economy, which focused on finance
[02:48:11] capital from this point onward, which is part of the reason why we have no industrial base
[02:48:17] whatsoever, which is part of the reason why we have a hyper reliance on countries like China,
[02:48:22] and therefore having any sort of militant posture against China, which is responsible for 30% of
[02:48:27] our trade. And so much of our components that we use in even our domestic manufacturing
[02:48:33] makes this talk of going to war with China all the more ridiculous. Once again,
[02:48:39] this entire system relies on stability. It is a very fragile system, which is precisely the
[02:48:44] reason why Iran currently is eating our lunch. Iranian retaliation to the
[02:48:51] Shredda Hormuz, Iranian retaliation against commercial shipping, but also
[02:48:56] Iranian retaliation against financial instruments, different targets
[02:49:01] like counter value targets that signal that they're willing to wage war
[02:49:05] at the global level against America and hurt American capital. Once again,
[02:49:11] expose the fragility of the international financial system that we have designed.
[02:49:16] And it also shows, it also greatly limits, it also greatly limits the timeline that America has.
[02:49:27] We cannot withstand, we cannot withstand a unlimited battlefront if the people that we're fighting
[02:49:37] against are striking, not only oil and gas tankers. They're not only striking commercial
[02:49:46] shipping and restricting access to the major global choke point like the Shredda Hormuz.
[02:49:53] But then they're also potentially damaging American capital. There's just no, there's
[02:50:02] nothing. There's nothing that, I mean, there's only so much, there's only so many penalties
[02:50:10] that we can withstand, okay? That's it.
[02:50:15] Into the territory of the United States, the net expulsion of Japan, of Germany, later
[02:50:19] China. And what was happening with the dollar profits of the Japanese, the French, the German
[02:50:24] industrialists, capitalists? Well, they were being recycled through the world state in
[02:50:27] the form of American debt, public debt, some equity and a lot of real estate. Therefore,
[02:50:31] like Trump, got to be what they are. And it was this, together with what Paul Volcker did once he
[02:50:37] was at the Fed, which he boosted massively interest rates in order to arrest inflation, which was
[02:50:45] a really, really lethal blow at countries like Romania, like Poland. The Solidarnozox emerged
[02:50:51] because of the great indebted. Remember, escalation, escalation dominance, and the way that America's
[02:51:00] Because target priorities have been this time around, has been fairly limited with the exception
[02:51:05] of the unconfirmed report that we're seeing right now, that the United States hit a hospital.
[02:51:10] Okay?
[02:51:11] As far as news agency claims that the United States hit a hospital, you know, recently,
[02:51:19] in this last round of strikes.
[02:51:22] But up until that, America was actually targeting, with as much accuracy as possible, targeting
[02:51:33] Iranian strike capabilities.
[02:51:35] They were limiting their targeting operations to everything that pertains to Iran's capabilities
[02:51:42] of blocking the Shreya Hormuz.
[02:51:47] Not talking about the Minab school.
[02:51:49] i'm saying guys
[02:51:51] i'm talking about this round
[02:51:53] in this round in this round
[02:51:55] post-mo u
[02:51:57] post-memorandum of understanding
[02:52:00] america's
[02:52:01] targets were ports
[02:52:04] radar facilities
[02:52:06] and and uh... areas that where they think iran are are capable of striking the
[02:52:11] trade of hormones
[02:52:13] okay
[02:52:15] all my god everyone is saying a school a hospital
[02:52:18] jesus fucking christ post m o u
[02:52:21] once the memorandum of understanding the women are not talking about operation
[02:52:25] epic fury okay
[02:52:27] when operation epic fury was taking place of course
[02:52:30] they expanded their targets and they started off by blowing up a fucking uh...
[02:52:34] school for little girls
[02:52:41] when the initially started
[02:52:43] when the americans initially started
[02:52:47] post MOU their their strikes were limited to uh, uh, uh, areas where Iran is, we're striking the
[02:52:56] shirt of Hormuz from radar facilities and ports where they could have, you know, like a potential
[02:53:02] Iranian submarine or, or, you know, uh, Navy assets, naval assets. Okay. Post MOU we're expanding on
[02:53:11] the strike package. Like the American side is expanding on the strike package. They're hitting
[02:53:16] nuclear bases once again, this will create, this will also lead the Iranians to escalate
[02:53:27] along, alongside the American strikes, okay? Iran has for the most part targeted ships
[02:53:36] and have maintained its posture as the, as the sole controller of the Strait of Hormuz.
[02:53:44] That's all they've done thus far. If America strikes Iranian oil and gas facilities, Iran
[02:53:51] will strike back against American oil and gas facilities. Having said that, the regime
[02:54:00] has just bombed the children's hospital in the Iranian city of Ahwaz, it is being evacuated.
[02:54:15] Iran has been destroying Bahrain and Kuwait, yes. Iran has been hitting, Iran has been hitting
[02:54:20] Bahrain, Kuwait, and Gulf countries, but specifically American military installations
[02:54:26] in said Gulf countries. Okay. So far, with some limited exceptions, Iran has been trying to
[02:54:36] damage as much American military and Navy facilities as possible. When they hit Bahrain,
[02:54:42] they're not just hitting Bahrain, the country, they're hitting the American naval assets in Bahrain.
[02:54:48] They're hitting the American facilities in Bahrain. Okay. Now, so far Iran has only continued to
[02:54:57] follow America up the escalation ladder, which means, which means it's one one now apparently
[02:55:05] England ate a goal. Updates for those who are paying attention or want to know what the fuck's
[02:55:13] going on with the England-Argentina game. Yes, Bahrain houses the fifth fleet of the
[02:55:23] U.S. Navy. So when Iran is striking Bahrain, they're not just striking Bahrain randomly,
[02:55:28] they're targeting the fifth fleet. But now that the United States has struck a children's
[02:55:37] hospital in al-Faz, I suspect that the Iranian targets will shift as well.
[02:55:45] This is the exact same pattern that the tit for tat strikes took place during Operation
[02:55:54] Epic Fury prior to the MOU.
[02:55:58] When America or Israel expands on their strike packages when they start targeting different
[02:56:04] areas when they should when they target a bank for example they hit the Iranian
[02:56:08] bank to
[02:56:09] uh... claiming that this was uh...
[02:56:11] uh... this was uh... a way to stop them from paying the rgc or whatever
[02:56:16] they turned around and they struck back against
[02:56:19] financial facilities in the gulf
[02:56:21] american financial facilities are even threatened that they would
[02:56:27] uh... financial facilities
[02:56:30] shahid bug a hospital in a was iran evacuated after several american
[02:56:34] missiles struck near the medical center iranian tv says the evacuation is
[02:56:37] temporary the hospital is located near
[02:56:39] sites hit in the ongoing wave of u.s. strikes on a was
[02:56:47] miss of the police communist uh... political economy at the United States
[02:56:51] and you know when it is a source from three percent to twenty one percent
[02:56:54] and that was a major blow at uh... the was the fact
[02:56:57] it it
[02:56:58] played a significant role, not only role, but there were other things as well, of course,
[02:57:01] Afghanistan and so on, and the decrepitude of the Soviet economy.
[02:57:04] But so what I'm trying to connect here, in the context of what you're saying, John.
[02:57:09] Yeah, here is the other update.
[02:57:11] Reuters shipping companies are avoiding using a US military guided transit scheme, through
[02:57:15] the Strait of Hormuz after a wave of Iranian attacks on vessels sparked safety concerns.
[02:57:20] Seven maritime security and shipping industry sources said in June, the US military had
[02:57:24] helped vessels through as a part of an operation involving scores of secretive ship to ship
[02:57:28] oil transfers to keep the Gulf energy exports flowing, using aerial and water drones as
[02:57:32] well as helicopters to guide tankers.
[02:57:34] The U.S. doesn't seem to have any control over the situation," one shipping source said,
[02:57:38] adding that their company had opted not to sail through the Strait due to cruise safety
[02:57:41] concerns and its deteriorating security situation, yet shippers are evaluating the route on the
[02:57:46] Omani side of the Strait as increasingly dangerous after a wave of attacks on ships.
[02:57:52] Iran started striking the Omani coastline, and the ships that were transiting through
[02:57:57] the Omani coastline with American aid. And that's the reason why the international shipping
[02:58:07] companies decided that that route is no longer safe either. There's obviously a risk profile
[02:58:12] here. There's a risk calculation. And from their perspective, they're not going to put
[02:58:19] their assets in harm's way. They're not going to put their assets in the crosshairs of Iranian
[02:58:26] missiles Iranian drones.
[02:58:28] Iran�s continued ability to target ships sailing through the Omani route means the
[02:58:32] Trump administration�s proposed solution to keep the ships moving is unlikely to work,
[02:58:35] said Torbjorn Solvat, principal Middle East analyst with risk intelligence company Varysk,
[02:58:41] Maplecroft.
[02:58:42] Do you understand?
[02:58:43] Why aren�t they just going through the Iranian side?
[02:58:55] question. That's the whole point. That's what the Iranians are trying to get them to do.
[02:59:17] Right now, as we're speaking, by the way, the U.S. House is voting against Representative
[02:59:21] Thomas Massie's amendment that would cut U.S. military aid to Israel, 103 Democrats
[02:59:26] have voted in favor of Thomas Massie's amendment, 98 of them have voted against it.
[02:59:33] Some of the more high-profile Democrats that have openly mentioned they would be voting
[02:59:37] against this are, of course, Hakeem Jeffries. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries told
[02:59:42] colleagues Tuesday that he will vote against an amendment to strip $3.3 billion in annual
[02:59:47] U.S. military aid to Israel and said, Democratic leadership would not whip the vote, leaving
[02:59:52] members free to vote their conscience rather than follow a party line.
[02:59:55] The amendment introduced by Republican Representative Thomas Massey would bar funds in the State
[02:59:59] Department Appropriations Bill from being spent for Israel effectively blocking the
[03:00:04] foreign military financing provided under the 2016 U.S. Israel memorandum of understanding.
[03:00:08] This is the Obama MOU, 3.3 billion yearly for the next decade, right?
[03:00:14] This is the last year that the MOU, after this year, the MOU expires.
[03:00:21] In a letter to colleagues obtained by Dropside, Jeffrey's called the amendment overly broad,
[03:00:26] saying it would also hit humanitarian aid and refugee resettlement while restricting
[03:00:29] efforts to confront Hamas, Hezbollah, and other organizations.
[03:00:32] He cited Jay Shree's opposition to the amendment, explaining his position.
[03:00:36] Jeffrey's wrote that American policy in the Middle East must change, but that the U.S.
[03:00:40] Amendment to Israel must remain iron-clad and any future agreement should preserve Israel's
[03:00:44] qualitative military edge.
[03:00:47] The Democratic leader's stance runs against his party base.
[03:00:49] On May 20, 26, New York Times, Seattle poll found that 74% of Democrats opposed providing
[03:00:55] more economic and military aid to support Israel, while only 20% supported doing so.
[03:01:02] To Hakim Jeffries, I say,
[03:01:04] What?
[03:01:05] Gives.
[03:01:06] But of course, Hakim Jeffries' retaliation probably is
[03:01:10] Israel comes to me in my dreams.
[03:01:13] Jay Street said Tuesday it would support Democrats regardless of whether they voted yes or no
[03:01:17] or present, calling the amendment overboard, but acknowledging that the vote presented
[03:01:21] a rare opportunity for lawmakers to register opposition to continue U.S. military aid to
[03:01:26] Israel.
[03:01:27] This is purely symbolic.
[03:01:29] And the reason for why it's unfortunately purely symbolic is because there's enough votes,
[03:01:35] As always, both from the Democrats and the Republicans, to continue giving $3.3 billion
[03:01:39] to Israel.
[03:01:44] Here are some of the pro-Israel Democrats being pressed on voting against their base
[03:01:49] by drop-sites Julian himself.
[03:01:52] Firstly, in a line with my leader, and what about with your base?
[03:01:58] Well, look, I fight terrorism.
[03:02:01] It's the idea of committing terrorism by bombing civilian infrastructure and committing war
[03:02:06] crimes.
[03:02:07] Dropsides Julian Andrioni, here, Democratic leader in the House Hakeem Jeffries, has
[03:02:11] put out a statement saying he's going to vote no on Thomas Massie's amendment to cut
[03:02:15] all military aid to Israel.
[03:02:18] But 74% of Democratic voters, per the latest New York Times poll, support cutting all economic
[03:02:23] assistance to Israel.
[03:02:25] I wanted to come up here and ask pro-Israel Democrats who are facing contested primaries
[03:02:28] where they stand in this fight.
[03:02:31] Are they with their base, or are they with democratic leadership in DC?
[03:02:35] Let's see what they have to say.
[03:02:36] Leader Jeffries came out and said that he's not going to support cutting the military
[03:02:39] aid to Israel, but 74% of the democratic voting base supports cutting off all economic ties
[03:02:45] with Israel.
[03:02:46] You're going to side with Leader Jeffries for the voting base on that?
[03:02:48] I'm with Leader Jeffries on this one.
[03:02:50] You're going to vote against the Massies Amendment?
[03:02:52] Yes.
[03:02:53] And why are you going to go against 74% of the base?
[03:02:57] Look at
[03:02:59] Mr. Jeffery statement
[03:03:01] He's very articulate about his positions look we got to fight terrorism
[03:03:10] Is not acceptable and we got to keep fighting and
[03:03:15] What about what happened before October 7th?
[03:03:17] Anakba eliminate terrorism all across the world. All right. I'm a no on the on the amendment
[03:03:24] Do you think it's out of lockstep with where the base is?
[03:03:26] I wouldn't vote for anything that Thomas Massey puts forward at the moment,
[03:03:31] especially after he ran an ad with a Jewish star in it,
[03:03:34] which was universally condemned as anti-Semitic.
[03:03:38] Oh, oh, that's why I got it.
[03:03:40] Not because you're a fucking unbelievable dick eater of Israel.
[03:03:54] Remember, he's, of course, he is a Rhonda Santis Democrat openly has mentioned that
[03:04:08] he is to the right of the current Republican party at times when it comes to dealing with
[03:04:15] American foreign policy.
[03:04:17] Yeah, Shri Thanadar obviously is also going to be primaried, inshallah.
[03:04:22] all of the word of the
[03:04:25] at the top of the
[03:04:26] but that was with real kind of
[03:04:28] i voted on that
[03:04:30] so all over larkin is running against uh... jared mosquitos
[03:04:35] yet i don't think any is running against uh... shrie tanadar who we just saw
[03:04:43] which started which was universally condemned
[03:04:46] uh... as anti-semitic so if you were to put forth the at the top of the
[03:04:50] currency act again you would have voted against it. That was with Ro Khanna. I voted on that.
[03:04:54] So if you had a Democratic House sponsor on something you'd vote for it. I wouldn't be
[03:04:57] helping Thomas Massey on anything. Even the O.C. Beltran. Of course I'd vote for Epsky and I voted
[03:05:02] for that but that was also before he did that nonsense. I believe it's in our national interest
[03:05:07] to have a liberal democracy in the Middle East and I will not be voting on the Massey movement. You believe Israel is a democracy? I believe it's the only liberal democracy in the Middle East.
[03:05:15] Are there any other democracies that have subordained citizenship and rights based
[03:05:20] on ethnicity, race or nationality?
[03:05:23] I mean, there are laws that, for instance, the law that just passed in the Knesset that
[03:05:28] gives Palestinian prisoners different punishments than Israeli prisoners.
[03:05:33] Are these people bots?
[03:05:34] Yes, they are.
[03:05:36] They are the reason why people see the Democratic Party as controlled opposition, okay?
[03:05:41] Because we are.
[03:05:42] the democrats are controlled opposition because there are
[03:05:46] hundreds of democrats in congress
[03:05:49] that are first and foremost invested
[03:05:52] in defending israel and defending israel's interests
[03:05:56] and there is no way in hell
[03:05:59] there is no way in hell that they would actually do the bidding of their
[03:06:02] constituents
[03:06:03] and and they are servants
[03:06:06] of the state of israel
[03:06:07] that's it
[03:06:09] then not just servants of the state of israel their service of the highest
[03:06:12] better
[03:06:14] and obviously israel pays well
[03:06:18] that's it
[03:06:21] uh...
[03:06:39] And if you're wondering why we don't get to if you're wondering why no change happens
[03:06:50] These people are bottom paid for if you're wondering why no change happens
[03:06:54] I mean look at Haley Stevens Haley Stevens also. I believe voted no
[03:07:00] Okay
[03:07:02] Haley Stevens is currently running for Senate. I guess of the Los Ied in the state of Michigan
[03:07:09] If you're wondering why these people get away, if you're wondering why these people get
[03:07:18] away with their lack of interest and abiding by the overwhelming majority of their base
[03:07:25] of support, well, the reason why they get away with it is because of what's taking
[03:07:32] place in the Senate race in Michigan and the primaries.
[03:07:36] Haley Stevens has gotten $50 million in outside expenditures.
[03:07:41] I believe $30 million to $40 million of that right now is coming from APAC and APAC Shell
[03:07:47] Corporations, ShellPACs.
[03:07:51] That's it.
[03:07:52] They dupe the base.
[03:07:55] They take advantage of the loose or lack of restrictions on how much outside money could
[03:08:02] be spent in these races and they lie and they smear. And there's obviously a network internally.
[03:08:10] There's obviously a network of democratic consultants and, and client media operatives
[03:08:16] that will go along with this slander campaign and will do everything in their power to make
[03:08:19] sure that people's, uh, that people are duped, that people are not paying attention. And
[03:08:26] if people are paying attention, hopefully they will learn something, uh, awful about
[03:08:31] a candidate that will stand against corporate PACs like Abdul El Sayed, and they'll vote
[03:08:37] against Abdul El Sayed.
[03:08:38] That's exactly how this goes.
[03:08:39] That's exactly how this works.
[03:08:41] Breaking a majority of Democrats in the House have just voted to cut $3.3 billion a year
[03:08:47] in U.S. military aid to Israel, Representative Thomas Massey, the leader of the amendment
[03:08:50] was the only Republican in support.
[03:08:54] If one more person shows me Chuck Schumer farting in the Senate, I'm gonna fucking end
[03:08:59] the broadcast.
[03:09:00] Okay?
[03:09:01] Please stop. I don't give a shit. Okay. I know I know he farted while he was delivering a speech
[03:09:06] You guys are fucking literally children, dude. Holy shit. Shut the fuck up. Oh
[03:09:12] My god, oh my god, we'll get to it. Okay
[03:09:18] Fuck man, I can't even have a serious conversation about like
[03:09:23] The way that money interests operates in American politics and subversed democracy at the behest of a foreign nation state without motherfuckers
[03:09:29] be like what you reported
[03:09:31] shut the fuck up
[03:09:44] sherman on the massive and if you care about not only our middle east possible
[03:09:47] you care about the democratic party position with the american people than
[03:09:49] you was vote no on this amendment is an attack on the israeli people says
[03:09:52] represented brad sherman
[03:09:54] another one of my fucking dumb ass ops care
[03:09:59] one million from a pack
[03:10:01] not only our middle east policy
[03:10:03] but you care about the democratic party's position
[03:10:08] with the american people
[03:10:11] then you must vote no on this amendment now that does not mean
[03:10:15] that there will not be future reductions in our aid israel
[03:10:19] that does not mean
[03:10:21] that we will not try to change israeli policy
[03:10:25] But this amendment goes as far as it possibly can
[03:10:30] to put us on the side,
[03:10:32] not of those who would shoot down the missiles
[03:10:35] that are aimed at civilian neighborhoods in Israel,
[03:10:39] but on those who are cheering those missiles.
[03:10:42] And then we're told that the amount of money involved
[03:10:46] is the focus.
[03:10:48] This is $3.3 billion,
[03:10:50] But that is about a little, about an 80th of the aid
[03:10:56] that we have provided Ukraine
[03:10:58] and that we should have provided Ukraine.
[03:11:01] So this is not an attempt to divert a large portion
[03:11:08] of our money from Israel.
[03:11:12] This is an attack on the Israeli people
[03:11:15] and I yield to the gentle lady from Florida.
[03:11:20] These people are disgusting, dude. They're disgusting. They're enemies of the American
[03:11:33] people. It doesn't matter if they are Democrats. It doesn't matter if they're Republicans.
[03:11:37] I mean, the damn near entirety of the Republican Party is on board with this. And a big chunk
[03:11:42] of Democrats are also on board with the continuation of $3.3 billion. Their only reason why Kim
[03:11:48] Jeffries didn't whip the votes for it is because he knows it's going to pass anyway. Okay. In
[03:11:54] a normal, in a normal situation, if, if the Democrats were like a real party and they
[03:11:59] cared about the needs of their base, if democracy was real in this fucking country, then a Kim
[03:12:04] Jeffries be whipping votes in favor of Thomas Massie's amendment. Okay. The entirety of
[03:12:13] the Democratic Party would respond together, collectively, to say, yes, we're voting for
[03:12:20] this amendment. We're going to make sure that we cut the $3.3 billion in money that we're
[03:12:27] spending to Israel. 74% of our base wants this. Okay. 74%.
[03:12:41] It's insane to me. Yes, 30 years of hurt has now expanded to 60 years of hurt. It's now
[03:12:47] going to be 64 years of hurt. Okay. Calm down guys. It's not coming home.
[03:12:52] VARGENTINA 1.
[03:12:55] If you're wondering how these people could be so out of step with the demands of their
[03:13:11] 74% want, 74% of want to cut off aid to Israel, look no further than the 50 million dollars
[03:13:26] dumped into the Michigan Senate race where Abdul is running against an APEC stooge.
[03:13:40] I assume Haley Stevens voted in favor of this right or voted against this right.
[03:14:03] I would be shocked if she voted.
[03:14:09] I'd be shocked if she voted yes on the Massey amendment.
[03:14:23] The roll call isn't updated yet.
[03:14:25] It's not available, but someone must have watched it live, right?
[03:14:33] Yeah.
[03:14:33] I mean, Adam Johnson also points to this, but it's a very fairly obvious point.
[03:14:37] Everyone knows we are the most electable you 30 million a pack money to win a primary the more apex republican donors
[03:14:42] Injected into your democratic primary campaign the more widespread organic and enthusiasm your general election appeal is is just common sense
[03:14:48] Everything I don't like is a pack an idiot's guide to politics a pack has literally spent 30 million dollars and this guy goes
[03:14:55] Oh, why are you pointing out the a pack?
[03:14:57] I don't know what to tell you, but acting as if it's acknowledging this material reality
[03:15:07] is delusion is objectively insane.
[03:15:19] There's no way for you to see it yet, roll call is not available yet, but I assume on
[03:15:24] c-span if someone was watching. They probably saw Hayley Stevens vote no.
[03:15:41] a row call she voted no. Well, it's shocking. Israel comes to me in my dreams.
[03:15:50] She voted no on that. Yeah, she voted no. There it is. Right? This is the right one,
[03:16:01] yeah status failed no this is January 22nd dude this is the this is not the
[03:16:14] correct way is this the right one
[03:16:18] it's a different one
[03:16:24] the fuck
[03:16:31] No, it's Roll 243, not 43.
[03:16:42] Congress had another opportunity to block our taxpayer dose from enabling Israel's
[03:16:46] crimes while our movement grows.
[03:16:47] We cannot keep funding suffering abroad while telling workers' families we cannot afford
[03:16:51] quality health care, housing, or education this summer, Lee.
[03:16:55] Yeah.
[03:17:01] Roll call is not available so unless you go into c-span the live footage from c-span
[03:17:15] you're not going to be able to figure out you're not going to be able to figure out
[03:17:19] whether or not.
[03:17:20] Door's open.
[03:17:23] Yeah, the roll call is not published yet.
[03:17:31] So I don't know why people are saying Haley Stevens definitely voted no unless they saw
[03:17:41] it.
[03:17:42] Unless they were watching C-SPAN and tracking it.
[03:17:46] We're not gonna know yet.
[03:18:01] More Democrats either didn't vote for or voted no 98 or present 10 on cutting all aid to
[03:18:13] Israel than Democrats that voted yes.
[03:18:17] That is, that said it is a seismic shift in US foreign policy 48% of the Democratic Caucus
[03:18:22] Because Massey was the lone Republican yes.
[03:18:34] What was interesting is Pelosi actually voted yes.
[03:18:39] Nancy Pelosi says she will vote yes on the Massey amendment to withhold aid from Israel.
[03:18:44] This is obviously symbolic, but Nancy Pelosi understands which way the winds are blowing.
[03:18:52] Okay. This is important to recognize. It's important to understand that Nancy Pelosi as Speaker Emerita,
[03:19:02] one of the most impactful Democrats in Congress, recognizes which way the room is,
[03:19:10] the room temperature is shifting and is moving along with it. She has all the power to just,
[03:19:17] You know, she's out after this, uh, after this, uh, uh, season, she has literally nothing to lose.
[03:19:25] If she wanted to, if she wanted to, to, if she wanted to basically say, look, I want,
[03:19:31] I want to continue funding Israel is very important.
[03:19:37] Then she would have voted yes on this, or I mean, she would have voted no on the massy amendment.
[03:19:47] It's really interesting because Scheme Jeffries is Nancy Pelosi's hand-selected candidate
[03:19:51] to run the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives.
[03:19:58] Today the Massey Amendment presents an unfortunate choice to the House, as one who is committed
[03:20:01] to a strong U.S.-Israel relationship and a supportive and supportive of a two-state solution.
[03:20:05] I respect Leader Jeffries' decisive proposal to achieve a just and lasting peace.
[03:20:09] The United States must be a force for security and stability.
[03:20:12] The American people are rightly demanding an end to perpetual cycle of war, and the Netanyahu
[03:20:15] government cannot maintain his current course therefore while this amendment is ill-conceived
[03:20:19] I vote yes for the message that it sends. She knows it won't pass if she was the lone
[03:20:25] deciding vote of course she would vote in favor of it.
[03:20:38] She's always been very savvy politically. It's a PR move but it's still one that signifies
[03:20:45] something changing. I'm just saying it's still obviously dog shit and I need you guys to understand
[03:20:51] this doesn't mean anything and that's precisely the reason why these guys even have the level of
[03:20:55] comfort to vote no for the most part with the exception of like Somerli, AOC, Rokana, people
[03:21:00] like that. Like all the other all of the other 100 Democrats that voted yes voted in favor of the
[03:21:09] Thomas Massey amendment that that in the past have never taken a significant position against
[03:21:14] Israel are doing so because they want the benefits of it. Which means that the environment
[03:21:20] has shifted dramatically in our, to the side of truth, to the side of justice, at least
[03:21:25] amongst the base. That means there's such a tremendous amount of appetite for someone
[03:21:29] to actually tell Israel to fuck off that a hundred Democrats voted. I need you to understand
[03:21:35] in comparison to where we were two years ago, three years ago, where we were 10 years ago.
[03:21:40] is unfathomable. This is an unfathomable seismic shift. Seismic shift that still is utterly
[03:21:48] meaningless in the grand scheme of things because obviously the amendment was struck down because
[03:21:54] there's always enough votes. Just this morning, people were expecting 40 Democrat votes when
[03:22:07] when we actually got 100, that's movement, but not enough.
[03:22:11] Yes, and there will always be spoilers.
[03:22:12] Kim Jeffries will ensure that there's always spoilers regardless.
[03:22:16] So what we have to do is mathematically make it impossible for them, okay?
[03:22:24] So we still have a long way to go.
[03:22:27] We still have a long way to go.
[03:22:29] Obviously, half of the Democrats are still bought and paid for by Israel.
[03:22:33] Half of the Democrats are still bought and paid for in general.
[03:22:37] Why do the Republicans vote no? What do you mean? They're fucking dogs.
[03:22:43] Why are you not teaching a streamer university? Because a streamer university every day in
[03:22:48] here where I'm teaching you geopolitical crises that are taking place all around the world.
[03:22:55] In any case, like I said, 74% of Democrat voters, 74% of Democratic Party voters want
[03:23:04] cut off a day is real. The fact that only half of the Democrats are comfortable with
[03:23:09] that is still devastating. What does any of this have to do with socialism? You're right,
[03:23:30] You're right. Fuck the Palestinians, right? Who cares about American foreign policy in the Menor
[03:23:37] region? Who cares about all the Iranians dying, all the Lebanese people dying, all the death and
[03:23:43] destruction that's taking place there? Are they all socialists? Good bait. Good bait. Thank you.
[03:23:50] Ashimus and Dylan Salva's podcast, Matt Petty said that the Republican base is where the Dems were
[03:24:02] five years ago, but the trend line suggests that most Americans will be opposed to Israel over
[03:24:05] the coming years. Quite a departure from being ignorant of foreign policy. Yes.
[03:24:09] Yes. But it's good. The sign of positivity here is that foreign policy is no longer seen as a
[03:24:22] separate thing for the longest time. And it's not, it's not separate. Foreign policy and domestic
[03:24:27] policy are tied to one another. American experiences here are impacted by our foreign policy over
[03:24:33] there. But for the longest time, Americans did not make that connection. Now they are
[03:24:40] Israel, and the attitude shift against Israel has played a major role in this, okay? Americans
[03:24:48] are more in tune with APAC. They're more aware of corporate PAC expenditures, more aware
[03:24:54] of a foreign policy apparatus, a foreign country's influence on American elections.
[03:25:00] This is a good thing, it's a positive change.
[03:25:05] Obviously we're not there yet and we have to keep pushing and it's incredibly important
[03:25:09] that we have to keep pushing.
[03:25:19] What do you think that triggered that shift?
[03:25:21] 9-11?
[03:25:22] No, October 7 triggered that shift.
[03:25:25] Even with 9-11 Americans by and large were in support of the global war on terror and
[03:25:29] And it took 20 years for them to recognize that it was an abject failure and then a lot
[03:25:33] of money was spent on it, that money could have been spent on health care for example.
[03:25:37] But even then, they weren't angry enough, whereas now, now with the level of frustration
[03:25:44] that is mounted against not only America's, this unbelievable elision that America has
[03:25:51] with this foreign country, Israel, but its impact, its direct impact on domestic concerns
[03:25:56] has frustrated Americans and have made them realize,
[03:26:02] have made Americans realize that foreign policy
[03:26:04] and domestic policy is inseparable.
[03:26:06] All the money that we're spending overseas
[03:26:08] could be spent here instead.
[03:26:11] Okay?
[03:26:13] This is a good thing.
[03:26:14] This is not a bad thing.
[03:26:15] This is a good thing.
[03:26:17] Everything that the government is doing,
[03:26:19] everything that the Democrats are doing
[03:26:20] to control the situation is obviously another hurdle
[03:26:24] we have to fight back against, but always be cognizant of the fact that we have the people,
[03:26:30] okay? And that's part of the reason why we can't let up, we can't feel discouraged,
[03:26:35] we can't be nihilistic, we can't lean into like idiotic, idiotic, black-pilled narratives that
[03:26:42] change is not happening fast enough, okay? Roll call is up for the recorded vote for the
[03:26:51] the Massey amendment. Let's see what Stevens did. Wait, it's in the nose. Yeah, Stevens
[03:27:07] also voted no. There you go. Unsurprising. Expected. I don't think this accurate. How
[03:27:28] How are there 421 nos?
[03:27:30] Yeah, I don't know why they're...
[03:27:36] Yeah, it says 211 democratic nos.
[03:27:43] I don't think that's correct.
[03:27:47] It might be...
[03:27:48] Yeah, this might not be accurate.
[03:27:54] Oh, this makes more sense.
[03:27:58] There we go. Republicans on the no side. All Republicans with the exception of Thomas Massey voted no.
[03:28:05] 98 Democrats voted no as well. And there was one independent that also voted no.
[03:28:15] Yeah. Stevens is on the no column, obviously. Moskowitz is as well as you can see right here.
[03:28:20] here. Gottheimer will also be a no. There it is. Expected. These are all expected noes.
[03:28:31] On the, yes, you have Gravalha. Let's see if there's anything interesting here. Kanna,
[03:28:37] Lee, of course, expected. Thomas Massey, it's his own amendment. Look to see if your Congress
[03:28:47] person is on the I column. Interesting that Jake Aukensloch was in the I column. That's interesting.
[03:29:05] To get voted I, that's also interesting. It's just like, probably should have had that energy
[03:29:11] beforehand before you got taken out, but you know, I'll take it. Part of the reason is because
[03:29:17] because these are all the Congressional Progressive Caucus members.
[03:29:22] So, unlike Ikeem Jeffries, Greg Kazar was telling the Congressional Progressive Caucus,
[03:29:26] I believe to vote yes on this.
[03:29:36] Where is Sanders?
[03:29:37] Dog, this is the House of Representatives.
[03:29:39] What are you talking about?
[03:29:41] Bernie Sanders is in the Senate.
[03:29:49] The upper chamber of Congress.
[03:29:52] Yeah, 108 targets acquired for DSA.
[03:29:57] Straight up.
[03:29:58] I agree.
[03:30:10] Jamie Raskin voted yes. Is any pro Israel? No, Jamie Raskin is pretty woke.
[03:30:15] I don't know if Push came to the show if he was the deciding vote.
[03:30:18] I don't know how he would vote, but I mean, he's, of course,
[03:30:21] he's pro Israel in the same way that most of these guys are.
[03:30:24] But, but he's a fairly woke regardless of,
[03:30:29] of his pro Israel position. He's a little bit like, like Nadler.
[03:30:37] He's like Nadler.
[03:30:38] They're definitely better than the mean when it comes to Israel, but they're still pro-Israel, of course.
[03:30:54] Wesley Bell in the nose, yeah, I mean that's unsurprising.
[03:30:59] Surprising again, Apex duge Wesley Bell against Cory running against the incumbent that Cory
[03:31:05] Bush will defeat, inshallah.
[03:31:13] Wesley Bell would not be occupying the seat that he's currently occupying in Missouri if
[03:31:19] it wasn't for Apex.
[03:31:24] Anyway, if you're surprised that your congressperson voted I, understand that they know that the vote doesn't have impact, they just want to make a statement.
[03:31:37] But it's still valuable that they're making such a strong statement against Israel. It would be far stronger if this was a real vote.
[03:31:44] But, you know...
[03:31:48] matters above all else, which is power, and I agree with you, is where is this power coming from?
[03:31:53] For me, my perspective, it's coming from the ability of the United States after the demise of the Bretton-Wood system
[03:31:58] to recycle other people's money, profits, capital, and then of course, China.
[03:32:02] So once it started recycling Chinese profits, then you had, in the 1990s and the 90s,
[03:32:09] you had globalization, you had the Wall Street bankers going absolutely berserk, and so on.
[03:32:16] So, up until now, the capacity of the United States to recycle other people's services
[03:32:23] has been going hand in hand with its capacity to project military power, not just in the
[03:32:27] Gulf, but everywhere, all over the world.
[03:32:29] And here is where I think our paths converge, because you heard a few weeks ago, during
[03:32:34] this war in Iran, Scott Besant announced that he was giving a 20 billion swap line to the
[03:32:40] Gulf States, which is, it sounds absolutely crazy, ridiculous.
[03:32:44] I mean, you know, the Gulf States, between them,
[03:32:46] they have around $6.5-$7 trillion of assets of reserves,
[03:32:50] of liquidity.
[03:32:51] Why do they need $20 billion from Scott Besant?
[03:32:53] My interpretation, John, is that Scott Besant was not
[03:32:55] bailing out the UAE or Saudi Arabia or Bahrain.
[03:32:59] No, she was signaling to the markets
[03:33:01] that, guys, I know that you're worried
[03:33:03] that we are going to lose around $2.5 trillion
[03:33:05] in the next 18 months of money surpluses
[03:33:08] from the Gulf States that would be coming towards Wall
[03:33:10] State.
[03:33:10] It's not coming.
[03:33:11] I am prepared to step in and to make up the difference.
[03:33:14] And I don't think he can, because the Fed has a capacity,
[03:33:17] as it's proved in 2008, 2009, to provide these swap lines
[03:33:21] at Indian Item.
[03:33:22] Scott Besson, the Treasury, cannot.
[03:33:23] He has a very, very tight budget.
[03:33:26] So there you are.
[03:33:26] So I hope that this intrigues you as an idea of how
[03:33:31] to enhance your power analysis.
[03:33:33] And the reasons why this war may prove,
[03:33:35] unlike all the other wars, a bridge
[03:33:38] to farm for the United States of Germany.
[03:33:40] Just one very quick point, an alternative of the Katie.
[03:33:42] I think that you and I agree completely that military might has an economic foundation,
[03:33:51] and it's really the economic foundation that matters the most. And what you're saying I hear
[03:33:58] is that despite the military defeat in Vietnam, the United States was doing things at the economic
[03:34:06] level that if anything made it stronger. And that's why military defeat did not matter. I agree
[03:34:12] completely with that. It actually helped. It was a force multiplier. That's your
[03:34:18] argument. And I agree with that. But it also seems that what you're saying is that the situation
[03:34:23] may be different now. In other words, as a result of the Iraq war, we have done things to the health
[03:34:31] of the American economy that are going to damage our position moving forward. Indeed. That's exactly
[03:34:38] what I'm saying, I'm saying that, look, Donald Trump, in his first year in office now during
[03:34:43] Trump 2.0, he secured commitments from the Gulf States of about 3.7 trillion over the
[03:34:49] next 18 months. Two trillion would go to AI investments, data centers in the United States,
[03:34:54] nothing to go, and 1.7 trillion armaments. Now, Scott Besant knows that this money is not coming
[03:35:00] now because of the liquidity problems that the Gulf States have. Dubai hotels are almost empty.
[03:35:04] you know, natural gas and oil doesn't flow like it did, you know, all bets are off regarding
[03:35:10] that three points have a trillion that was going to arrive in Wall Street to keep recycling
[03:35:14] other people's money, other people's Gulf state capital through the markets of the United
[03:35:19] States and to finance, importantly, much of the money would be purchasing treasuries,
[03:35:25] would be financing the American military and the American government as well as equities,
[03:35:29] as well as real estate.
[03:35:30] So unlike all the other wars, none of the previous wars, did anything to damage that
[03:35:36] recycling mechanism.
[03:35:37] That is my point.
[03:35:38] But what would you say to the argument that actually if you look at what Trump is doing
[03:35:42] today, he's being motivated or he is motivated by economic considerations, right, that he
[03:35:48] knows he has to put an end to this war because it's going to do enormous damage if it continues
[03:35:53] to America's economic position in the world, to the world economy.
[03:35:58] He's in a very important way, sort of accepting your logic
[03:36:02] at a very general level, and he's backpedaling like crazy
[03:36:05] to do everything he can to restore the status quo ante.
[03:36:09] Are you saying Trump is a Yanist?
[03:36:11] Can you repeat that, please?
[03:36:13] I was joking.
[03:36:13] I was saying, are you saying Trump is a Yanist?
[03:36:15] Or a Verifakisian?
[03:36:18] Verifakisian, yeah.
[03:36:19] Not in the slightest.
[03:36:20] What I'm saying is that, you know,
[03:36:22] Scott Besant is a smart man.
[03:36:23] He didn't break the bank of the union
[03:36:24] together with George Soros because he was a Dumbkopf, right?
[03:36:28] And I would not be at all surprised
[03:36:30] if he had a word with the president and said to him,
[03:36:32] Donald, we are running a very serious risk in the markets
[03:36:35] because we're going to lose 2 trillion in the next 18 months
[03:36:38] that will not be decided through Wall Street.
[03:36:40] So stop this war now.
[03:36:41] So essentially what John is saying is exactly what I'm saying.
[03:36:43] And you said at the beginning, honest,
[03:36:45] that you thought that Trump had a lot of good intuitions,
[03:36:48] that he was not completely a Dumbkopf.
[03:36:50] That's why you were saying you thought
[03:36:52] you didn't believe that he bought Netanyahu's rhetoric
[03:36:56] about toppling the regime with their power alone?
[03:37:00] Well, I love a man, but I did not
[03:37:02] suffer from Trump derangement syndrome.
[03:37:04] And I read what Stephen Miran says.
[03:37:07] I pay very close attention to Scott Besant,
[03:37:09] his economic team, and they have a plan.
[03:37:11] And you know what, John and Katie?
[03:37:12] Their plan has been working until Iran.
[03:37:15] They want everything.
[03:37:16] The Paris War was a complete utter success story.
[03:37:19] Don't listen to economists whose models
[03:37:22] have spas when they throw tariffs at them.
[03:37:25] The tariff war against the European Union was won by Trump.
[03:37:28] He had Ursula von der Leyen on her knees
[03:37:30] in his golf club in Scotland, accepting new tariffs being
[03:37:35] slapped on American or European manufacturing
[03:37:38] exports to the United States, while the European Union was
[03:37:40] taking down every single little tariff
[03:37:42] that they had on American exports
[03:37:44] and offering him something that was not in her gift to offer.
[03:37:47] Remember, Ursula von der Leyen promised him
[03:37:48] that by the end of 2028, Europe would
[03:37:51] invest 700 billion in the United States.
[03:37:53] You know, Osvaldokalagin doesn't have that money.
[03:37:55] She can't direct, you know, Basv and Ryan Medallor
[03:37:59] or whoever to invest this money in the United States.
[03:38:02] So he was winning.
[03:38:04] With China, he didn't win that war, but very, very quickly.
[03:38:07] He stepped back, he retreated.
[03:38:10] He had the bromance with President Xi.
[03:38:12] They're going to meet again.
[03:38:13] And there's going to be a detente.
[03:38:16] There is a detente when it comes to the Tyre Corps.
[03:38:17] But, you know, he is earning 300 billion every year
[03:38:20] from his status. Everything he's been doing has been working until Iran. And I certainly
[03:38:24] insist that, you know, he was pushed into this. He didn't choose to dive into it.
[03:38:29] Yeah, it's just to put Katie's question to you in slightly different words. Aren't you
[03:38:34] basically saying that there's not much daylight between you and President Trump in terms of
[03:38:39] thinking about how the world operates?
[03:38:42] Well, you see, there is a very well-known distinction between how the world operates
[03:38:48] and how I think it should operate, the normative and the descriptive. I think that the world
[03:38:53] we live in, the world that shaped the so-called globalization, the so-called rules-based order,
[03:39:00] you know, my goodness, you know, I lose the will to live when I hear that expression, but you know,
[03:39:04] that's the world that Richard Nixon created in 1971. And it is clear to me that Trump's people,
[03:39:11] I don't know what he knows and what he thinks and how smart he is, he doesn't look particularly smart
[03:39:14] to me but yeah then again Richard Nixon was a madman and yet he shaped through the Nixon shock
[03:39:18] with John Connolly with Volcker with Kissinger with all these people they shaped the world that
[03:39:22] we live in and this is how I understand the world understand the world in that context so from his
[03:39:28] perspective what he's trying to do what his team is trying to do is trying to maintain the advantages
[03:39:33] that deficits have bestowed upon the United States ever since the Nixon shock and I mean Yannis's
[03:39:39] theory is that Trump knows what he's doing. Or at least the people around Trump know what
[03:39:46] they're doing, and they're trying to restructure the international markets in a way that benefits
[03:39:54] the United States because finance capitalism is no longer benefiting the United States as much.
[03:39:59] I guess. What is this? The reporter at Dropsite News thinks his libel to quote Hassan verbatim
[03:40:06] because it makes him look bad. Yes, this is the American Enterprise Institute guy. He's not a
[03:40:10] centrist. He's a right winger. The statement is written on that flyer. Hassan did not say Jews
[03:40:17] are inbreds as verbatim as you assert the flyer was publicly disseminated. It is immensely damaged
[03:40:22] in Hassan's reputation to claim that he said people belonging to a specific religion are all inbred.
[03:40:32] Yeah, I mean Cuomo did the same nonsense too.
[03:40:36] I don't know how much I trust the Hormuz letter on potential boots on the ground for the record, you know
[03:40:44] Trump is looking to expand US military operations in Iran by not only bombing energy sites and power plants starting next week
[03:40:49] But also sending US ground force to Felicis Karg Island and other Iranian islands along the Strait of Hormuz and bombing the Divis and most fortified mountain in Iran
[03:40:56] The pickaxe mountain
[03:40:58] He said those things
[03:41:00] Trump held a situation room meeting Tuesday evening to discuss the seizure of Karg Island other territory along the Strait using US ground troops
[03:41:06] including Obamusa, Greater Tumb and Lesser Tumb. He also said, we're going to take out
[03:41:11] Pickaxe Mountain. He can't do any of those things. Like, unless he wants to throw U.S.
[03:41:21] Look, look, the reason why he hasn't done it thus far is because obviously
[03:41:29] there is a level. There's a level of military action that Trump is comfortable with. We know
[03:41:34] what that level is. Okay? The level of military action that Trump is comfortable with is air
[03:41:42] campaigns, decapitation strikes, quick and rapid action. This is a unique situation because he
[03:41:52] hasn't been able to achieve any of his military objectives. He hasn't been able to restrain Iran.
[03:41:56] He hasn't been able to successfully attrit Iran's strike capabilities. So it's just continuing.
[03:42:02] So he might get erratic. He might actually do something crazy that he hasn't done before but
[03:42:09] So far
[03:42:11] Trump has obviously been very restrained when it comes to putting boots on the ground
[03:42:18] Here's the issue
[03:42:22] American troops that he puts on any of those Iranian islands are going to get fucking lasered
[03:42:28] Okay? They're gonna get lasered. So, if we're currently bleeding and there's no way to through
[03:42:39] air campaigns stop Iran from controlling the Strait of Hormuz. Trying to gain leverage
[03:42:46] with this suicide mission is going to be the dumbest decision that Trump has made thus far
[03:42:52] in a series of unbelievably dumb decisions. Because if you recall, one thing that I've said
[03:43:01] since day one, since the beginning of Operation Epic Fury, is that the reason why Americans are
[03:43:08] not out in the streets and freaking out over this is because there hasn't been any
[03:43:14] significant damage that we can see, that we can visualize to American naval assets.
[03:43:19] They've been able to paper over a lot of the damage to say, oh, it's fine. It's like a laundry fire here and there
[03:43:28] and the most consequential
[03:43:30] The most consequential act was when the F-35 fighter jet flew over a during a bombing mission
[03:43:38] And the Iranian air defenses took it out. That was a huge panic moment for the American side
[03:43:45] now if
[03:43:47] America tried to militarily invade any of the island chains off of the Iranian
[03:43:54] coastline. They would get pummeled with Iranian ballistic munitions. There is no
[03:44:01] air support there. There is no way that you can establish a forward operating
[03:44:05] base, even if the American military could fairly easily take over Carg Island
[03:44:12] with conventional arms and defeat the Iranian station on Carg Island with their
[03:44:17] conventional arms and conventional tools, which is fairly easy process. There is no way that they
[03:44:23] would be able to establish a forward operating base on Karg Island without the Iranians destroying
[03:44:29] it and killing every single troop on that forward operating base. This is a big penalty.
[03:44:36] This is far too large of a penalty that the Trump administration would take on.
[03:44:41] unless he's just completely lost his mind, I don't expect Donald Trump to put boots on the ground.
[03:44:49] Okay, but let's say, let's say, what is Kai is back knocking on the door? Let's say that,
[03:45:02] that. Wait, hold on. I need to, Kaya! Kaya! I don't know if you can see her shadow. She
[03:45:16] keeps pawing at the door. But, um, what was I saying? Oh, let's say they're able to,
[03:45:23] conventionally, uh, defeat, uh, through conventional means, uh, defeat the Iranian military on
[03:45:28] on Carg Island, fairly easy. Let's say through some stroke of good luck, they were able to
[03:45:34] set up a forward operating base and let's say they're capable of defending it. Oh shit.
[03:45:39] Jesus Christ, I scared the shit out of me. Okay. Maybe let her in. Okay, I'll let her
[03:46:28] Anyway, as I was saying, even if, even if America was able to establish a forward operating
[03:46:43] base on Carg Island. What is this? The RGA scheduled to go with a new ad attack at, oh
[03:46:58] shit. I'm in another attack at, let's go. Fuck. Even if the United States of America
[03:47:07] and the military was capable of establishing a forward operating base on Carg Island, they
[03:47:11] have no way of maintaining any kind of supply line because all of the bases, the American
[03:47:20] bases that are close enough to Karg Island have been reduced to rubble and are within
[03:47:26] striking distance. They're within striking distance of Iran, which is precisely the reason
[03:47:33] why they can't even establish a supply line. So it's over. There's no way to do it. Anyway,
[03:47:47] we're obviously going to get to the drama, both of the Wisconsin race and also drama
[03:47:51] taking shape in the, in the, uh, uh, Michigan race, uh, in a little bit. I do want to hear
[03:48:00] from, uh, JD Jedediya Vance, because he has a couple different places. Uh, he has a couple
[03:48:06] different, uh, moments from this Joe Rogan experience, uh, that are obviously frustrating.
[03:48:12] JD Vance calls himself a reasonable moderate between pro and anti-Israel extremist saying
[03:48:16] he's advocated for a pragmatic relationship based on shared interests with Israel.
[03:48:19] Let's take a look, but again, when I open up the pages of Time magazine and I see that there's a literal foreign influence campaign being funded to tank the very deal that I was pursuing and oh by the way many of the people who were receiving that money were actually attacking me in completely dishonest ways.
[03:48:38] You know my response to that is well go to hell. I'm gonna do what I have to do for the American people
[03:48:43] I represent Americans first and that's the way that I've tried to do this job, and I you know Joe
[03:48:50] The crazy thing is
[03:48:52] I'm like people realize this. I'm actually in this you know
[03:48:57] There's this massive pro-Israel anti-Israel debate in the United States of America
[03:49:02] I'm like the reasonable moderate, and I think that's what so many people don't realize is
[03:49:08] You know, I've been accused of being an anti-Semite. I've been accused
[03:49:14] Quite literally for I've been accused of trying to I guess some people say that I've insulted the Jewish religion
[03:49:21] Which is insane like I
[03:49:24] Like I have a ton of respect for the Jewish religion. I mean if you talk about specifically did you say I don't know
[03:49:29] I've never heard of a good compelling argument for why I'm an anti-Semite
[03:49:33] even though I've been accused of being an anti-Sinmite by many people, but it's what always
[03:49:40] what I say to these guys is look at public opinion, look at the way young Republicans
[03:49:47] versus Republicans over the age of 65 approach this issue. Like right now Israel is losing
[03:49:55] the public opinion battle in the United States of America. It is a simple and obvious fact.
[03:50:00] Donald Trump has said that publicly. It's a simple. Why do you think that is?
[03:50:04] Well, let me finish this. Okay. Okay. My attitude is towards this is
[03:50:09] Israel is an ally
[03:50:12] Like France or like the United Kingdom. We're gonna have disagreements with them
[03:50:16] We're gonna have agreements with them
[03:50:17] There are areas where we're gonna have similar interests and areas where interests are gonna diverge
[03:50:22] So my approach to this is to say, you know what when we're partnered great
[03:50:26] Let's work together and we're not let's just be honest about it and I for that
[03:50:31] People attack me for being an anti-Semite or anti-Israel and they don't see the writing on the wall
[03:50:38] But I'm actually just the guy advocating for a normal relationship with a normal country
[03:50:47] He's yeah, he's the most normal guy
[03:50:52] He's the most normal guy out there man, he's just a guy
[03:50:56] He is the best position on this.
[03:50:58] I love that he's trying to tailor this in a way where he doesn't get too much
[03:51:02] blowback from the pro Israel lobby, because he obviously has aspirations,
[03:51:06] a higher office, uh, while simultaneously maintaining his credibility as a
[03:51:10] Israel critical guy and it's shit or get off the pot time, buddy.
[03:51:17] Okay.
[03:51:19] That's it.
[03:51:21] And of course he's not going to be able to walk that line.
[03:51:24] he's gonna come across like these fucking annoying Democrats read his book
[03:51:30] before you judge he's a changed man a man of God okay yeah he's like I'm
[03:51:34] moderately in support of Israel's genocide but not like but but also kind
[03:51:39] of critical of it that's based around shared interest as opposed to based
[03:51:44] around you know something else so why why is Israel losing why is Israel
[03:51:52] losing American public opinion. Well, the narrative is that Israel has a very disproportionate
[03:51:59] effect on American politics. Yeah, I see that. I see that narrative. I mean, I actually think that
[03:52:06] yeah, he's got, look, look, this stuff is not convincing at all. Okay. It's not convincing
[03:52:12] at all. It's not going to be convincing at all for many people. You don't have to be like a brilliant
[03:52:18] understander of foreign policy to recognize that this shit is untenable.
[03:52:24] Okay, Americans by and large do not like that Israel is receiving this level of aid,
[03:52:30] this level of financial support, and this level of political support. Americans absolutely
[03:52:35] fucking hate that Israel also gets to have a say in domestic policy. Okay, Israel gets to have a say
[03:52:42] on whether you can criticize it or not. He's hitting the Mallory McMorrow lines.
[03:52:53] He's trying to Mallory McMorrow of fi his position amongst the Republicans knowing full
[03:52:59] well where the Republicans are going. Okay, young Republicans are done. They're done with Israel.
[03:53:07] Okay. It's over. It's just the old base that is obviously the most reliable voting block,
[03:53:13] the evangelicals and the like, that are still the only group of people in this country that
[03:53:19] show support to Israel by, you know, Democratic Congress, by Democratic Congress levels. Okay.
[03:53:27] If we're looking at, you know, who supports Israel the most, obviously you got the old evangelicals.
[03:53:33] And then on top of that you have Hakeem Jeffries and every other fucking Republican and most of the Democratic
[03:53:40] Congressional representatives every single person in the Senate as well pretty much every single person in the Senate
[03:53:52] So I don't even know who this is for I
[03:53:56] Guess he just wants to position himself as like Israel critical for his
[03:54:00] uh... presidential aspirations but
[03:54:02] i don't know how you make it out of the republican primary with that attitude
[03:54:06] especially given the young republicans are
[03:54:08] not exactly
[03:54:10] a
[03:54:13] they're not exactly a reliable voter uh... block anyway it's always the old
[03:54:17] republicans are fucking voting for the republican they
[03:54:21] look do they try to influence american politics yes like i said earlier a lot
[03:54:25] of other countries do
[03:54:27] I think to the extent that Israel does, I think some are better at it than others.
[03:54:30] I think the Israel's are definitely more effective at it than most, but I wouldn't say that they're the all everybody does it.
[03:54:35] Did it really? Everybody does it.
[03:54:42] Everybody does it.
[03:54:44] Interest, the effective. Yes, really good internal poll just came out from American priorities.
[03:54:49] Uh, from data for progress.
[03:54:51] I know I will get to the Abdul poll in a second by any means that tries to influence American politics.
[03:54:57] I just think you have to be self-aware about it.
[03:54:59] I mean, why wouldn't you?
[03:55:00] It's a country of 9 million people.
[03:55:01] We have 330 million people.
[03:55:04] And so, of course, they're going to try to persuade Americans.
[03:55:08] They're going to try to move Americans in one direction or another.
[03:55:11] I think that's just the nature of the beast.
[03:55:12] But it's more than that.
[03:55:14] The concern is that they're spying on American politicians, that they're...
[03:55:18] Yeah, East Timor, the worst influencer of American politics.
[03:55:22] Albanian pack is influencing American bodies big time Estonia
[03:55:27] Estonian pack nobody ever talks about how much influence the Estonia pack wheels on American foreign policy on
[03:55:36] American domestic policy. There's no comparison. Okay, you can fucking
[03:55:42] Cry anti-Semitism the cows come home every American is aware of it
[03:55:46] even people who are pro-israel are aware of the tremendous amount of power that the israel lobby
[03:55:53] holds on not only american foreign policy but domestic policy as well cats out of the fucking bag
[03:56:01] there's there's there's concerns about funding there's concerns about influence there's concerns
[03:56:07] about whether or not politicians are whether they're aligned with israel or whether they're
[03:56:13] line with the United States first? Well, there's certainly, like, I definitely get those concerns,
[03:56:19] but my sense is that the way that all foreign influence works in the United States is people
[03:56:26] try to manipulate American public opinion, and then from manipulating a public opinion,
[03:56:31] they try to get the outcomes that they want. Oh, oh, okay. So this is his way of saying,
[03:56:36] no, no, this is how Qatar influences American politics.
[03:56:39] say certain elements of the Israeli government want to criticize the deal or have disagreements
[03:56:46] about the deal. I don't even mind an effort to try to influence, you know, foreign governments
[03:56:53] try to influence the United States all the time. You know, Israel does it, other countries
[03:56:56] do it. Yeah. Yeah, who could forget the tens of thousands of who could forget the thousands
[03:57:13] of Americans arrested and fired for criticizing Estonia.
[03:57:26] Estonia's relationship with the U.S.
[03:57:38] don't mention golf states. What? So other people who loves us as brothers, you'll snitch.
[03:57:47] What are you talking about? Yeah. Yeah. Estonia, Lithuania, what are you doing? That's crazy.
[03:57:59] She literally peeked open the door, looked outside and was like, yeah, it's fine. Situation
[03:58:05] sufficiently monitored. Situation sufficiently monitored, still monitoring it, still.
[03:58:14] Kyle, what is actually happening here? What are you doing? What are you doing?
[03:58:28] Why are you wagging your tail? Are you on high alert? Are you enjoying yourself? She's like,
[03:58:35] I've gotten noticed. I've gotten noticed. Bro, your house is haunted. No, it's my dad is here.
[03:58:39] My dad is bringing the food. Hold on.
[03:58:46] We can all do a sauce block on that.
[03:59:04] Now that she knows how to open the door, she literally thinks it's a game. She's like,
[03:59:28] I'm unstoppable.
[03:59:34] No, I want the new ones, not these.
[03:59:39] There's one that's like,
[03:59:42] no, no, they're in the other container,
[03:59:46] the brown container, two of them.
[03:59:58] I don't even know if I can have this as fucking fresh produce. Is this gonna make me explosive diarrhea out of my my booty hole?
[04:00:05] I don't even know
[04:00:10] Should I be worried?
[04:00:22] Hmm. Oh
[04:00:24] Oh, thank you.
[04:00:28] Thank you.
[04:00:34] Thank you. Thank you. Okay, it's good.
[04:00:44] Is it cooked? If so, you're gonna be good. Some of it is and some of it isn't.
[04:01:03] Why is there enough food for three people? Because I'm a big boy.
[04:01:10] Yeah, there's no comparison.
[04:01:12] There's no comparison between Israel and what Israel does on U.S. politics versus any other
[04:01:21] fucking country. And anyone who tries to say that that's not the case is obviously lying,
[04:01:28] but also lying in such a hilarious and easily disprovable way that most people understand,
[04:01:34] that I don't even understand why you're trying to say this.
[04:01:37] Like why are you even lying like this? You're just only destroying your credibility. What
[04:01:45] credibility you think you are trying to develop here you're going to destroy?
[04:01:49] This very discreet, extremely well-funded campaign to try to derail the negotiation and
[04:01:56] try to derail the deal. And you know, there was, again, there's this time article that
[04:02:00] came out yesterday for Incident To Me. It's like worth reading because it lists a bunch
[04:02:06] of people who have quite literally been paid by a former Trump campaign person who was
[04:02:13] himself paid by certain elements within the Israeli government.
[04:02:18] And those people are attacking me viciously for quite literally trying to accomplish the
[04:02:22] negotiation objective that the president set for the country.
[04:02:26] So what is their position?
[04:02:27] Like are they attacking you?
[04:02:29] How?
[04:02:30] Oh, it's it's social media posts.
[04:02:31] It's you know, they're leaking to reporters.
[04:02:33] They're attacking me obsessively saying that we should not be negotiating with Iran.
[04:02:39] We should just keep the military campaign going indefinitely.
[04:02:42] And that is their explicit position.
[04:02:44] And coming after me saying that, you know, people have come after me and said that I'm
[04:02:48] influenced by Qatar, that I'm influenced by foreign governments, that, you know, I take
[04:02:53] my marching orders from Tucker Carlson.
[04:02:55] And there's just so much bullshit out there when what I'm actually trying to do is accomplish
[04:03:00] what the President of the United States told me to accomplish, which is a settlement of
[04:03:04] this that accomplishes our objectives. Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon. We have the
[04:03:10] free flow of oil and gas. And like I should be clear, you know, like I don't actually
[04:03:18] mind, I don't mind that the, you know, let's say certain elements of the Israeli government
[04:03:27] want to criticize the deal or have disagreements about the deal.
[04:03:30] I don't even mind an effort to try to influence, you know, foreign governments try to influence
[04:03:36] the United States all the time.
[04:03:38] You know, Israel does it, other countries do it.
[04:03:40] It's just sort of the nature of the beast.
[04:03:42] What bothers me is actually when Americans allow, meaning American leadership, allows
[04:03:50] that influence to affect their judgment and to affect what they are advocating for.
[04:03:56] That's what really bothers me.
[04:03:58] People are always going to try to influence the United States of America, whether they're
[04:04:01] allies of ours or whether they're enemies of ours.
[04:04:04] But again, when I open up the Pages of Time magazine and I see that there's a literal
[04:04:10] foreign influence campaign being funded to tank the very deal that I was pursuing.
[04:04:15] Let's talk about Brad Parscale.
[04:04:22] Former Trump administration official Brad Parscale is a now foreign registered
[04:04:29] agent for the state of Israel.
[04:04:32] And is getting people in Salem media, which is the Salem media is the evangelical Christian
[04:04:50] network media network that Scott, what's his face the in the closet gay guy on CNN.
[04:04:59] I'm forgetting his name now, whatever, someone will remind me in the chat.
[04:05:04] Um, Scott Jennings, thank you.
[04:05:08] Yeah.
[04:05:09] Time wrote about him.
[04:05:10] Trump's ex campaign manager is running an Israeli influence operation targeting them.
[04:05:13] Macabase names, Brad Parscale, um, they're, they're paying money to Scott or not just Scott.
[04:05:21] Sorry.
[04:05:22] They're paying money to, um, Salem media figures, the evangelical, uh, Christian media network.
[04:05:28] by way of Brad Parscale to try and manipulate Trump supporters into being pro-Israel.
[04:05:52] And part of that network is attacking you, you'll pump the stimulus, the stimulus, the
[04:05:59] stimulus.
[04:06:02] And oh, by the way, many of the people who were receiving that money were actually attacking
[04:06:07] me in completely dishonest ways.
[04:06:09] You know, my response to that is, well, go to hell.
[04:06:11] I'm going to do what I have to do for the American people.
[04:06:14] I represent Americans first.
[04:06:27] I'm going to be honest with you.
[04:06:33] I don't even have confidence in the Democrats that are trying to present
[04:06:36] themselves as anti-Israel.
[04:06:37] So, if you think I'm gonna trust JD Banes, you're fucking delusional.
[04:06:53] I mean, Democrats are also trying to do their rat fucking operation right now.
[04:06:58] It's just that Republicans don't even need to do too much of a rat fucking operation
[04:07:02] against people who are Israel critical in their ranks because the Israel critical people
[04:07:07] and their ranks are marginal. In consequential. Do we have the actual time codes for when
[04:07:13] he starts talking about this Israel stuff? I want to hear just that. I don't really
[04:07:17] give a shit about anything else. Peter Thiel. Hey JD, go check on the DMT guide. Peter Thiel
[04:07:28] experience? That's actually kind of awesome. That's kind of awesome that there's a...
[04:07:42] that there are a shit ton of people who are who are knowledgeable of JD Vance's
[04:07:47] Peter Thiel Bloodboy status. Is Joe Rogan a good guy? Fuck no dude. I mean he's
[04:07:55] Mostly from 120, like one hour and 20 minutes in.
[04:07:58] You know, aneurysms towards this man.
[04:08:01] All of these things are happening in the context
[04:08:03] of the broader negotiation over the nuclear program.
[04:08:07] You never know where this is ultimately gonna end up,
[04:08:09] but that's where we are.
[04:08:10] And then can I just say one other thing about this?
[04:08:13] Cause there are people, you know, you see Mike Pence,
[04:08:16] who's sort of a super hawk, my predecessor who say this,
[04:08:20] there are people, you know, who are super hawkish
[04:08:24] in the American system who have attacked the deal.
[04:08:27] And frankly, in some ways have tried to derail the deal.
[04:08:30] And what I always say to those people
[04:08:32] is what is your proposal?
[04:08:34] What is your actual argument?
[04:08:36] So just take the straight-of-war moves,
[04:08:37] like the narrowest but in some ways
[04:08:39] the most important part of this back and forth right now.
[04:08:42] Straight-of-war moves is a narrow waterway.
[04:08:44] To the extent you shut it down,
[04:08:45] you shut down 25% of the world's energy supply, okay?
[04:08:49] Joe, you could take $100,000
[04:08:52] and go buy a bunch of drones in the black market
[04:08:55] and post yourself on an island
[04:08:58] in the Strait of Hormuz or near it,
[04:09:00] and you could fire drones at those ships, okay?
[04:09:03] Oh, wow.
[04:09:08] Look at that.
[04:09:10] JD Vance, JD Vance talking about how to do terrorism.
[04:09:15] Get his ass, Laura Loomer.
[04:09:22] this was a big fucking attack against me from the canary mission
[04:09:27] that i was teaching people how to do terrorism for verbatim explaining this
[04:09:30] exact same thing that he's saying
[04:09:37] warlover wanted to go to get more for this
[04:09:39] now what does that mean
[04:09:41] some oil and gas is still going to get out to some ships and some ship captains
[04:09:45] can say screw you
[04:09:47] now the united states can help that right we can shoot down some of those
[04:09:49] drones we can shoot down some of those missiles
[04:09:52] and so we can facilitate the flow of traffic.
[04:09:54] But the people who are like,
[04:09:56] you cannot negotiate with the Iranians,
[04:09:58] the reason why that's fundamentally idiotic
[04:10:01] is because so long as you have some person
[04:10:04] who's willing to fire off a few cheap drones,
[04:10:07] you're gonna have some ship captains who say,
[04:10:09] no, no, no, we're not willing to do this.
[04:10:11] So we gotta kind of use all tools at our disposal.
[04:10:14] The military is one tool,
[04:10:16] but diplomacy is another tool.
[04:10:18] And I'm very frustrated by the Americans
[04:10:20] and frankly by people in other countries who are like,
[04:10:23] you cannot negotiate with the Iranians.
[04:10:26] Well, then what is your proposal to get people
[04:10:28] to stop shooting at ships in the Strait of Hormuz?
[04:10:30] You can bomb them, you can take away their radar,
[04:10:33] you can take away some of their drones
[04:10:34] and some of their missiles,
[04:10:35] but it's just too easy to fire at ships in the Straits,
[04:10:39] so you've gotta actually be willing to talk
[04:10:41] and to try to figure out the problem.
[04:10:43] What is their proposal?
[04:10:45] The people that think you shouldn't negotiate with Iran?
[04:10:47] i think that their proposal is to bomb and bomb and bomb
[04:10:51] and the honest view joe is that they they do not actually have a solution
[04:10:56] if you actually ask them what do you want us to do what is the goal that
[04:11:00] you're trying to achieve
[04:11:01] you know they'll they'll say things like
[04:11:03] will just bomb them to oblivion
[04:11:06] okay we can do that we can drop a lot of bombs
[04:11:09] but what does that accomplish if there's still a crazy person who's still
[04:11:12] willing to shoot a few drones at the straight of her moves
[04:11:14] What the president has done, I think very, very capably, is said,
[04:11:18] we're going to use military force in the situation
[04:11:21] when it's connected to something we're trying to achieve.
[04:11:24] So if you shoot at ships, we're going to shoot at the facilities
[04:11:27] at which you used to shoot at the ships.
[04:11:30] But we're not just going to do something open-ended indefinitely.
[04:11:33] We're not just going to bomb and bomb and bomb.
[04:11:35] We're going to try to use our military force
[04:11:37] as one of the many tools that we have to solve the problem.
[04:11:40] And obviously, like I'm
[04:11:44] It's so funny that he's having this conversation with Joe Rogan when you should be having this
[04:11:51] conversation with Donald Trump, the fucking president, because obviously he's here to
[04:11:58] like do this good cop, bad cop shit, right?
[04:12:03] Oh, I, I'm in favor of a ceasefire.
[04:12:07] I'm trying my very best, but there's outside forces that are stopping me.
[04:12:13] A big part of the reason why he's saying this also is because he wants to run for president.
[04:12:22] Okay?
[04:12:26] He knows where the winds are blowing and he wants to get ahead of it.
[04:12:31] But the problem is, when you're saying this shit, I think this video unfairly characterize
[04:12:41] you and Mike in relation to Platner? I don't care, man. Please. This is from the 10th of
[04:12:49] July. Please. I don't want to discuss Graham Platner any longer, okay? The question I have
[04:12:57] for you is, do you find this to be a productive conversation to have right now? It's fine.
[04:13:04] I don't care. Yes, I love Graham Platner. I want him to be president. I actually hand
[04:13:08] selected him and I saw all of his reddit posts and I was like that's my fucking guy, okay?
[04:13:17] That's my guy. That's my guy. That's my favorite guy. I'm his dad. I'm his son.
[04:13:26] Okay, clip it, ship it. I found him.
[04:13:33] Bias, but I think that's exactly the right approach. I actually, you have to read between
[04:13:38] the lines a little bit. Because if you look at what Mike Pence or some of the conservative
[04:13:42] hawks, like people who voted for us but have been very critical of me, very critical of
[04:13:46] the administration, if you actually look at what they're proposing, they just want the
[04:13:52] military campaign to go on forever, and they can't actually identify what it is that they're
[04:13:56] trying to accomplish. None of them can identify what it is they're trying to accomplish. And
[04:14:00] I read two things between the lines. I think some of them want us to accomplish a complete
[04:14:07] change in the government of Iran to topple the clerics and to replace that those clerics
[04:14:12] with somebody who's in a much friendlier. But look, what is our experience with doing
[04:14:17] that? It's not good. It's not good, right? And so like if the Iranian people want to
[04:14:23] rise up and change their government, bro, this reads as him dunking on Trump. I know that
[04:14:32] Republicans have tremendous cognitive dissonance for the most part and they don't think that
[04:14:37] Trump is capable of doing anything wrong and therefore he can just like basically unload
[04:14:42] in the Trump and yet most people will assume he's not talking about Trump.
[04:14:48] But this is literally just him campaigning against Donald Trump and the way that Trump
[04:14:52] has handled the crisis that he started.
[04:14:59] up to them. But we're not going to send 150,000 ground troops in order to accomplish a change
[04:15:09] in a regime unless the people on the ground themselves want to accomplish that outcome.
[04:15:15] Now we're not going to send the troops in regardless, but like to propose sending in the troops,
[04:15:21] you're basically saying that the U.S. military should do the job for the Iranian people.
[04:15:27] We're not in that business anymore. We're just not and then I think a second outcome that people are or whether they're aware of it or not
[04:15:35] Because what I call the Libya outcome?
[04:15:37] So if you look at the end result of our Libya policy after Gaddafi was killed by the Obama administration, by the way
[04:15:43] Again a very stupid decision. What happened? Libya basically turned into a failed state
[04:15:49] You had a refugee crisis
[04:15:51] You had people pouring into Europe pouring into other parts of Asia other parts of Africa
[04:15:55] You had a lot of violence a lot of terrorism come from that
[04:15:58] I do think that there are people who would like that to be the outcome in Iran
[04:16:03] But then I say again, what is in our interest?
[04:16:05] How is it in the United States is interest to have 94 million desperate people flood?
[04:16:10] Okay, that's a good point someone said but that's already smarter than Kamala Harris has talked to stop for being handed the nomination
[04:16:15] Ironically enough if Kamala Harris did this
[04:16:18] As vice president Trump would now be president right now
[04:16:25] I
[04:16:36] Defend you and Mike is characterization of the video what is reviewed another streamers. Why do you guys have a chance to counter? I don't care
[04:16:43] Dude dude dude stop it doesn't matter
[04:16:48] Okay, I already know there is a there's a contingency of those on the left
[04:16:52] who want to do their eitogessos, let him do their eitogessos, there are plenty of
[04:16:57] smart, capable, and constructive criticisms coming from individuals who I had
[04:17:02] very open disagreements with on the issue. At this point it's it's done we've
[04:17:07] discussed it endlessly I don't give a fuck okay I'm sorry. Jesus Christ dude
[04:17:17] Please, I don't want to fucking ban you, and I thought I was being charitable by being
[04:17:24] like nobody cares, and you're still trying to explain to me why it's important.
[04:17:29] Let it go.
[04:17:43] We've moved on to actual campaigns that I am working with, okay, unlike the one that
[04:17:48] I had nothing to fucking do with.
[04:17:51] We're moving on to actual campaigns of senators, governors, and congressional representatives
[04:18:02] that actually want to do an arms embargo on Israel, okay?
[04:18:08] Pay close attention to those who still think this issue is the most relevant issue when
[04:18:20] there's $50 million being dumped into the Abdul El Sayed race in Michigan, 30 of which
[04:18:29] is coming from APEC.
[04:18:31] If those guys are still talking about Graham fucking Platner after the rape allegations
[04:18:36] came out after the campaign died in a cratered and everybody fucking unendorsed them then
[04:18:41] that means they just want fucking drama they want to continue talking about drama
[04:18:50] like we've moved on
[04:18:56] who cares if they want to live there we can live there
[04:19:01] Or if they want to live there, they can live there. We don't have to live there.
[04:19:06] Flooding into Europe, flooding into the United States to have, you know, sort of the terrorist infrastructure that can get established when you fan terrorists all over the world.
[04:19:17] We've run this experiment before. And so our policy right now, what we're trying to accomplish is get the streets open, ensure the free flow of oil and gas.
[04:19:27] oil and gas, obviously want to keep the Iranians from having a nuclear weapons program and
[04:19:32] using the tools of diplomacy and military power to accomplish that.
[04:19:37] And Libya failing and the collapse of Libya is a lot of what's fueled the migrant crisis
[04:19:45] in Europe as well, correct?
[04:19:47] Exactly.
[04:19:48] That in Syria, another failed state that was created by bad Middle Eastern policy.
[04:19:52] So there is precedent for the United States doing this.
[04:19:55] Every time that it's happened, it's caused a refugee crisis, it's caused a spike in
[04:19:59] terrorism, and it's also, not incidentally, to the moral considerations, it's led to a
[04:20:04] lot of innocent civilian deaths.
[04:20:05] Now, what was the talk about, I think the number was like $300 billion in concessions
[04:20:12] to Iran to rebuild?
[04:20:14] Yeah.
[04:20:15] So, this is another just bullshit argument that the critics made against the deal.
[04:20:20] And again, like I, just to back up a little bit, this is my own little hobby horse.
[04:20:24] But we, the coalition that Donald Trump piloted to the 2024 election campaign, it was a landslide.
[04:20:32] We won seven states, it was historic, nobody, certainly no Republican.
[04:20:37] Marginal victory by the way, regardless on a fucking, on an economy election where everyone
[04:20:44] was screaming bloody murder about the economy.
[04:20:46] Marginal victory, it was not a mandate.
[04:20:51] I guess the only thing that was unprecedented was the fact that
[04:20:54] Republicans won the overall vote for once.
[04:20:59] First time in a long time, folks.
[04:21:02] First time since 2004.
[04:21:07] Big deal.
[04:21:08] That's a big deal.
[04:21:11] And had actually led a coalition like that at least since the days of Ronald Reagan.
[04:21:17] So like literally before I was a...
[04:21:19] Which once again, which once again in 2000, they didn't win the majority live.
[04:21:28] Okay.
[04:21:29] So Donald Trump wins this great coalition and look, it's got, man, it's
[04:21:33] got Hawks and it's got people who hate foreign wars.
[04:21:37] Okay.
[04:21:38] It's got people like you and people like Tucker.
[04:21:40] It's also got people like Mark Levin and others.
[04:21:43] Okay.
[04:21:44] I just accept that as a reality.
[04:21:45] That's part of the coalition.
[04:21:47] Don't say that anybody is welcome or unwelcome. I say that if you're willing to sort of help us you're gonna get a lot
[04:21:52] What you want you don't get everything that you want what is really annoyed me about the the hawkish side of this thing is
[04:22:02] They attack any effort to negotiate
[04:22:05] They attack the president they attack me personally Donald Trump is betraying me
[04:22:09] Who is second if you if you if you wouldn't have like a hawkish policy towards Iran
[04:22:15] The idea that Donald Trump has betrayed you because he's also trying to negotiate to get a good outcome for the American people is
[04:22:22] Crazy and so you've seen a lot of these people completely flip on him and that brings me to the 300 million or 300 million dollar point
[04:22:30] What we what we did with with the MOU is is we actually worked not just with the Iranians
[04:22:35] But with the Gulf Arab states. What is the term MOU was a memory of understanding?
[04:22:40] It's the basic. It's the basic structure that we set up for the negotiation
[04:22:45] So what would happen here is, okay, so people sort of think of the Middle East as like Iran versus Israel.
[04:22:51] I think a lot of people do.
[04:22:52] There's also a massive number of golf, golf states that are really important, good allies to the United States.
[04:23:00] You know, they in Israel don't always see eye to eye, but we're obviously very close to both Israel and the golf states.
[04:23:05] And the golf states actually came to us and said, you know what?
[04:23:09] If the Iranians are willing, really willing to change their behavior,
[04:23:13] we'd like to invest in rebuilding the country. Now, whether they change their behavior or
[04:23:19] something, it's going to be determined over the long term, right? When we see real changes,
[04:23:23] we want to see them to stop funding terrorist organizations. And also, of course, none of
[04:23:28] that money comes from the United States.
[04:23:30] Yeah. Here's why this, uh, wishy washy in between the lines bullshit doesn't work because
[04:23:38] Donald Trump ripped apart the JCPOA. Donald Trump is literally Israel's biggest blood boy.
[04:23:44] Donald Trump is as big as a blood boy to Benjamin and Yahoo and Israel as JD Vance is to Peter Thiel.
[04:23:53] So obviously, it doesn't fucking matter what you say because he's done everything that you're
[04:23:58] currently being critical of. And it's weird because this interview is not taking place
[04:24:03] During the MOU, this interview is being released right now, which means that you know what
[04:24:13] Trump is saying and doing.
[04:24:15] Last night he went on Fox News and said the war continues.
[04:24:19] We're going to keep pummeling.
[04:24:20] We're going to keep destroying Iran.
[04:24:21] We're going to keep doing it.
[04:24:25] It's unbelievably inconsistent.
[04:24:30] But it also makes me wonder, like, who is this for?
[04:24:34] Who is this for?
[04:24:38] What Republican watches this and goes, yep, this makes sense to me.
[04:24:42] Yeah, I hate guys.
[04:24:44] I love Trump, but I hate guys that are pummeling Iran and don't want to do diplomacy.
[04:24:51] But if Iran's biggest enemies in the region are saying, we'd like to invest if they've
[04:24:57] changed their behavior, would the United States let us?
[04:24:59] when we released the sanctions that would make it possible for the UAE and Saudi Arabia
[04:25:04] and other countries to invest in Iran, our attitude was, well, isn't that a victory
[04:25:08] for us?
[04:25:09] If Iran's biggest enemies see that they have changed themselves so much that they're willing
[04:25:14] to invest in the Iranian economy, isn't that like the definition of a win-win?
[04:25:19] And then you had all these people saying, no, no, no, no, no, you can't give them $300
[04:25:22] billion.
[04:25:23] We're not talking about giving them $300 billion.
[04:25:24] The King Roach is glazing this interview.
[04:25:26] Yeah, but the King roger is also talking about Lindsey Graham being the goat
[04:25:31] So I don't know what chip he has downloaded today
[04:25:38] He's pro JD Vance, but also pro Lindsey Graham like none of it makes sense, but I guess it doesn't really matter because
[04:25:44] None of these guys have a consistent position here. They're not, you know, they're not attacking the issue from a principal stance
[04:25:50] They're all just a sequence of different grifters
[04:25:56] Also, um, there's the other side of this, which is as many gold is very stupid.
[04:26:06] And I think it's really funny that a lot of people don't realize that don't recognize that or don't
[04:26:12] In some way, shape or form, like add that into their calculus.
[04:26:18] Like he's just fucking dumb, man. That's it. 300 billion dollars.
[04:26:22] We're talking about letting other countries invest in Iran if Iran has changed the way
[04:26:27] that it treats the Gulf Arab countries.
[04:26:29] It's fundamentally between them, meaning the Iranians and the Gulf Arab countries.
[04:26:34] So there's this line in the MOU that basically says that if Iran meets all of its obligations,
[04:26:39] then we will permit other countries to invest in Iran.
[04:26:42] That's it.
[04:26:44] And that, like again, the hawks attacked us and misrepresented this and lied about it
[04:26:51] and said the Trump administration is going to give the Iranians $300 billion.
[04:26:55] And it's totally fake, it's completely made up, and it was done purely in order to politically
[04:27:01] tank the negotiation.
[04:27:03] So there's been this interesting dynamic here where, as we've been trying to negotiate,
[04:27:09] there have been these extraordinarily well-funded efforts to tank the negotiation, to prevent
[04:27:15] us from reaching a deal, to change American public opinion, which by the way, if you look
[04:27:19] Look at the public opinion, people love the idea of actually getting to a final resolution
[04:27:25] on this thing.
[04:27:27] Americans do not, they're not game for long term, you know, open ended regime change wars
[04:27:33] in the Middle East.
[04:27:34] They're okay with us using the military to accomplish discrete objectives.
[04:27:39] They're not okay with open ended obligations.
[04:27:42] What do you think the motivation of the Hawks is?
[04:27:45] Do you think this is influenced by defense contractors or what's the reason why they're
[04:27:54] so keen on continuing to bomb?
[04:27:57] With any big group of people, you have a diversity of opinions.
[04:28:02] So sure.
[04:28:03] I'm sure that you have people who are influenced by defense contractors.
[04:28:08] There's a lot of talk about how much is the Israeli government influencing American politics.
[04:28:14] There are certainly certain people within the Israeli government who hate the deal.
[04:28:18] We see exact evidence.
[04:28:19] There was a time story that came out yesterday that basically there are certain.
[04:28:25] We saw this.
[04:28:28] We just, we watched this already.
[04:28:29] You know, I take my march with a spotless position and coming after me saying that,
[04:28:33] you know, people have come out for me and said I'm influenced by Qatar, that I'm influenced
[04:28:38] by foreign governments, that, you know, I take my marching orders from Tucker Carlson
[04:28:42] and there's just so much bullshit out there when what I'm actually trying to do is accomplish
[04:28:48] what the president of the United States told me to accomplish, which is a settlement of this
[04:28:53] that accomplishes our objectives. Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon. We have the free flow of
[04:28:58] oil and gas. And like I should be clear, you know,
[04:29:02] So, yeah, this coming right after Donald Trump said Iran are scumbags and cannot be negotiated
[04:29:12] with makes this conversation all the more funnier.
[04:29:19] Of course, Joe Rogan is not a capable vessel to have this conversation.
[04:29:24] He can't just be like, well, what Trump said last night that, you know, Iranians can't
[04:29:29] be dealt with like where like everything you've described so far, Trump verbatim
[04:29:33] said last night like are you at odds with Trump? Like I don't actually mind, I don't
[04:29:39] mind that the you know let's say certain elements of the Israeli
[04:29:45] government want to criticize the deal or have disagreements about the deal. I don't
[04:29:50] even mind an effort to try to influence you know foreign governments try to
[04:29:55] influence the United States all the time you know Israel does it other
[04:29:58] countries do it. It's just sort of, yeah, oh, it's just the name of the game, man. Everybody
[04:30:03] does it. All right, four. That's what we're the bars or whether they're enemies of ours.
[04:30:08] But again, we've heard this already, I already responded to this. There is no country that
[04:30:14] that comes close to the level of influence that Israel has. There's no special relationship
[04:30:19] with another country that comes close to the special relationship that we have with Israel.
[04:30:24] And this is so, this is so matter of fact that the average American is aware of it.
[04:30:34] The level that influence has over American foreign policy and American domestic policy
[04:30:40] is so perverse, is so flagrant that the average American understands it.
[04:30:48] The problem, however, I guess if you're, you know, someone who is anti-genocide or an anti-Zionist
[04:30:53] but not an anti-Semite. The problem is, how do we communicate this to people and help
[04:31:01] them understand that this has nothing to do with Judaism? Well, because every single person
[04:31:06] that defends Israel's special relationship immediately ties it back to Judaism, says
[04:31:11] Israel's the Jewish state, and that you're anti-Semitic if you actually have any criticisms
[04:31:16] of Israel. It's virtually impossible to separate the two things, although I try all the
[04:31:23] time they still call me a fucking anti-Semite. So it's very cooked. When I open up the page,
[04:31:33] I can talk about podcasts and shimmer universities on, I'm 35 years old.
[04:31:38] This is a time magazine, and I see that there's a literal foreign influence campaign being funded
[04:31:44] to tank the very deal that I was pursuing. And oh, by the way, many of the people who were receiving
[04:31:49] that money were actually attacking me in completely dishonest ways, you know, my response to that is,
[04:31:55] well, go to hell. I'm going to do what I have to do for the American people. I represent Americans
[04:32:00] first, and that's the way that I've tried to do this job. And Joe, the crazy thing is,
[04:32:07] I'm like, people realize this. I'm actually in this, you know, there's this massive pro-Israel,
[04:32:14] anti-Israel debate in the United States of America, I'm like the reasonable moderate.
[04:32:20] And I think that's what so many people don't realize is, you know, I've been accused of
[04:32:25] being an anti-Semite.
[04:32:26] I've been accused-
[04:32:27] What was for what reason?
[04:32:30] Quite literally for, I've been accused of trying to, I guess, some people say that I've insulted
[04:32:35] the Jewish religion, which is insane.
[04:32:37] Like I, like I have a ton of respect for the-
[04:32:41] Yeah.
[04:32:42] We covered this part too, he's talking about disrespecting, disrespecting Israel.
[04:32:50] A young Republicans versus Republicans over the age of 65 approach this issue. Like,
[04:32:57] right now, Israel is losing the public opinion battle in the United States of America.
[04:33:02] It is a simple and obvious fact. Donald Trump has said that publicly. It's a simple and obvious fact.
[04:33:07] Why do you think that is?
[04:33:08] Well, let me finish this book because okay my attitude is towards this is
[04:33:14] Israel is an ally
[04:33:16] Like France or like the United Kingdom. We're gonna have disagreements with them
[04:33:20] We're gonna have agreements with them
[04:33:22] There are areas where we're gonna have similar interests and areas where our interests are gonna diverge
[04:33:26] So my approach to this is to say you know what when we're partnered great
[04:33:30] Let's work together, and we're not let's just be honest about it and I for that
[04:33:35] people attack me for being anti-Semite or anti-Israel and they don't see the
[04:33:41] writing on the wall that I'm I wonder if there's any way to exploit the friction
[04:33:48] between JD Vance and Marco Rubio is like who will be the torch bearer of the
[04:33:54] MAGA movement like who will who will carry the MAGA movement next I wonder
[04:33:59] there's any way to exploit that on Cuba. Because Marco Rubio is obviously spearheading the Cuba
[04:34:07] initiatives and JD Vance is supposed to be this anti-interventionist. I just don't think he's a
[04:34:14] genuine person, so I don't know if that's even exploitable, but could be a really interesting
[04:34:19] angle to even get some kind of friction, to even get some kind of difference in communication.
[04:34:34] But I don't know.
[04:34:36] Actually just the guy advocating for a normal relationship with a normal country that's
[04:34:41] based around shared interest as opposed to based around, you know, something else.
[04:34:46] So Marco getting Venezuela and Cuba while he gets Iran, yeah, that's terrible for him.
[04:34:54] If you put yourself in the shoes of Mr. Hillbilly Elegy for a moment and try not to kill yourself,
[04:35:01] you will realize that Donald Trump is cooking JD Vance right now.
[04:35:08] This is janitorial duties, okay?
[04:35:11] He's picking up shit.
[04:35:14] Just like Joe Biden put Kamala Harris on border patrol, Kamala Harris had to do border-related
[04:35:21] shit.
[04:35:22] That's where this beautiful-
[04:35:23] Do not come.
[04:35:24] Do not come.
[04:35:25] Do not come.
[04:35:26] Do not come.
[04:35:27] That's where this came from, okay?
[04:35:31] When you get put on sanitation duty, when you get put on dookie duty, it's very clear
[04:35:37] that the president doesn't give a shit about your chances of becoming the next president.
[04:35:42] matter of fact they're doing it on purpose they're trying to get you to not be president.
[04:35:46] JD Vance was put on sanitation duty. Marco Rubio on the other hand has the pristine and perfect
[04:35:58] easy to accomplish goals as the head of the state department.
[04:36:04] Don't road doctrine stuff is down road doctrine stuff is super easy to accomplish because we've dominated Latin America
[04:36:13] for a century
[04:36:16] Okay
[04:36:18] So I'm sure JD Vance is aware of this
[04:36:21] So if he wants to be president, it would be good for him to attack
[04:36:27] From a consistent
[04:36:29] Anti-interventionist framework, it would be good for him to attack Marco Rubio and all of his initiatives in Cuba
[04:36:36] That are utterly unnecessary and very cruel and will not actually yield any positive
[04:36:45] Will not yield any positives for the American economy
[04:36:52] Someone should get this over to Tucker Carlson who could potentially get this over to JD Vance
[04:36:59] Why is Israel losing American public opinion?
[04:37:06] Well, the narrative is that Israel has a very disproportionate effect on American politics.
[04:37:12] Yeah, I see that. I see that.
[04:37:13] I super disagree with you in that.
[04:37:18] I mean, think about the negative consequences as far as like unlimited migration and refugee crisis that we will create in Havana.
[04:37:28] That's another way to maybe stop this military operation to be like, oh, do you want 9 million
[04:37:40] Cubans swimming to the Miami shores?
[04:37:43] Because that's what's going to fucking happen if you start blowing up the country.
[04:37:52] narrative. I mean, I actually think that they, look, do they try to influence
[04:37:59] American politics? Yes. Like I said earlier, a lot of other countries do.
[04:38:02] I think so. To the extent that Israel does, I think some are better at it than
[04:38:06] others. I think the Israel's are definitely more effective at it than
[04:38:08] most, but I wouldn't say that they're the only effective country by any means.
[04:38:11] Like Joe Rogan is the dumbest guy we know. And he's even like, to the extent
[04:38:15] that Israel manipulates American elections that like, and has a, has an
[04:38:20] unbelievable influence power, influential capabilities, over American
[04:38:26] domestic affairs. Of course not. No one. Nothing comes close. But even a
[04:38:30] dumbest guy knows.
[04:38:31] tries to influence American politics. I just think you have to be self aware
[04:38:35] about it. I mean, why wouldn't you? It's a country of 9 million people. We have
[04:38:38] 330 million people. And so, of course, they're gonna try to persuade Americans,
[04:38:44] they're gonna try to move Americans in one direction or another. I think that's
[04:38:47] just the nature of the beast. But it's more than that. The concern is that
[04:38:51] they're spying on American politicians, that there's there's, there's concerns
[04:38:57] about funding, there's concerns about influence, there's concerns about whether
[04:39:02] or not politicians are. Joe Rogues is a little bit anti-Semitic, he's critics go from there.
[04:39:07] eyes, dude. Dude. At this point, he is probably one of the least anti-Semitic right wing podcasters.
[04:39:23] In comparison to Nick Fuentes, who Joe Rogan is a fan of,
[04:39:28] he's far less anti-Semitic than the average Republican independent media guy.
[04:39:32] dying. Republican independent media is just two camps now. One that denies the Holocaust
[04:39:41] and wants it to happen again. And one that's like kind of skeptical that the number is
[04:39:46] 6 million. And wouldn't mind if it happened again. That's Republican independent media
[04:39:53] at this point.
[04:39:56] Joe Rogan is on the side where he's like, oh, I'm not going to like say anything about
[04:40:03] the Holocaust, but like, you know, Jews are controlling the media, right?
[04:40:06] Like, that's, that's where Joe Rogan is, which is probably the least anti-Semitic Republican
[04:40:11] podcaster you can fucking find.
[04:40:14] And then, sorry, I forgot, there's a third camp of Republicans.
[04:40:20] Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, Scott, I keep forgetting his fucking name, oh my god, the CNN guy,
[04:40:28] Salem Media, the evangelical right-wingers that are super pro-Israel, Scott Jennings.
[04:40:35] So there's three different camps.
[04:40:38] There's like the Holocaust Enjoyers, the Holocaust Skeptics, and also the people who are currently
[04:40:47] supporting the ongoing Holocaust of the Palestinians and Arabs broadly in the region.
[04:40:54] That is the three different camps broadly.
[04:40:59] The problem for many of these people, especially on the third camp, is that they don't really
[04:41:03] have a constituency.
[04:41:07] Their constituency is aging out, they're dying, they don't even watch independent media all
[04:41:10] that much, they watch Fox News for the most part.
[04:41:13] They're all fucking 65-plus years old.
[04:41:18] And that's why you see Ben Shapiro suffer tremendously.
[04:41:23] Whether they're aligned with Israel or whether they're aligned with the United States first.
[04:41:28] Well there's certainly, like I definitely get those concerns, but my sense is that the
[04:41:33] way that all foreign influence works in the United States is people try to manipulate
[04:41:39] American public opinion, and then from manipulating a public opinion, they try to get the outcomes
[04:41:44] that they want.
[04:41:45] And this thing is a very good example of this.
[04:41:47] So, you know, like we know, I'm telling you, beyond a reasonable doubt, we know that the
[04:41:54] negotiation strategy that the President has asked us to pursue, and again, with limitations,
[04:42:01] like when the Iranians hit ships, the President has been willing to knock the hell out of
[04:42:04] the Iranians in response.
[04:42:06] This is not just a negotiation.
[04:42:08] negotiations, militaries, all these things. But I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that
[04:42:13] there have been people within the Israeli government who are trying to, like, actually
[04:42:18] shift us away from that policy because they want to continue the military campaign. And
[04:42:24] by the way, like, there are people within their government that I love, I have good
[04:42:26] relationships with. I hope, and I don't think that they're part of this. I mean, you know,
[04:42:32] the ambassador of Israel to the United States, I think, is actually a really good guy. Obviously,
[04:42:37] cares about Israel first, I care about America first, but there are some people
[04:42:41] within their system we know beyond a shadow of a doubt who are manipulating
[04:42:46] and trying to change American public opinion to keep the war going on
[04:42:51] indefinitely. Again, not towards any objective, but just indefinitely. So like
[04:42:56] does it happen yes, but I guess what I would say to the Americans who sort of
[04:43:01] see this and are frustrated by it, my attitude would be you should be
[04:43:04] frustrated American leaders who are, you know, persuaded by this,
[04:43:10] affected by this, countries are going to do what countries do.
[04:43:14] I really don't, it doesn't bother me that Qatar tries to influence the United
[04:43:17] States of America and they do.
[04:43:18] I like a lot of the guitar.
[04:43:25] Dog, what the fuck are you saying?
[04:43:29] This is like when I get a democratic rep on and I'm like, do you
[04:43:33] believe that Hamas deserves an iron dome. And they say, yes, it's awesome. It's my favorite
[04:43:41] thing when a guy is trying to be like, well, everybody, everybody influences American policy
[04:43:46] like the Qataris. And I love it. It's like, dude, just say Israel's influential and it's
[04:43:52] bad. Why would you fucking say it's awesome that Qatar is also influencing American politics?
[04:44:02] so dumb because guess what now you pissed off everybody the pro israel side went see
[04:44:09] he admitted it katar is actually did the puppet master behind american decision making
[04:44:15] okay and they're pissed off most people are going to be like dog there is no level of control that
[04:44:23] katar has over american policy in comparison to fucking israel the overwhelming majority of people
[04:44:30] think you're stupid for saying this. Okay? You didn't win anybody over. Everybody thinks
[04:44:41] you're wrong for this statement. People look at this and go, I don't want any country influencing
[04:44:50] American politics. I want Americans to influence American politics. What the fuck are you saying?
[04:44:57] is the normal position, right? This is a level of moral consistency that you can only arrive
[04:45:07] at if you only talk to DC people, and you have decided that you have this very strange
[04:45:13] attitude, very strange outlook on how people look to foreign nations and the level of influence
[04:45:22] that they have over American politics. No, that's where he wrong. Most Americans think
[04:45:29] it was a cutter or he's just like, I like a lot of the Israelis. Doesn't bother me.
[04:45:34] The Israel tries to do this. It frankly doesn't bother me that Russia is like the eighth time
[04:45:39] for the record that he has brought this up to be like, well, you know, everybody controls
[04:45:43] the American flow of everyone. Everyone has a level of influence and control over American
[04:45:49] politics. I mean, come on, dude.
[04:45:52] The other countries do it. It's just the nature
[04:45:55] of being a political leader in 2026.
[04:45:59] What does bother me is when those operations, those influence campaigns,
[04:46:06] actually affect American political judgment because they shouldn't,
[04:46:09] because we should be thinking what is in the best interest of the United
[04:46:12] States of America. Do you think that Israel is affecting
[04:46:16] American political judgment?
[04:46:21] I mean, I certainly think that there are a lot of talking points and there are a lot
[04:46:31] of arguments that make their way into American political discourse.
[04:46:37] I think there are a lot of social media campaigns that definitely influence Americans and affect
[04:46:42] Americans.
[04:46:43] do i think that it's been dispositive
[04:46:46] on a particular issue like the like
[04:46:48] i think it's a much more difficult question you think that we would have
[04:46:51] started this war in iran without the influence of israel
[04:46:55] i think the president completely separate from any
[04:46:59] influence from israel believes very strongly again i agree with us
[04:47:04] that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon.
[04:47:05] Right.
[04:47:17] Nah, you see Joe, he just loves.
[04:47:21] He is a special place in his heart.
[04:47:30] Oh my God, Joe, remember how to be a good interviewer?
[04:47:32] This is the one thing he locks in on.
[04:47:34] I like that.
[04:47:36] Look, for years and years is the number one Joe Rogan head.
[04:47:39] I've always talked about how Joe operates, right?
[04:47:43] Joe is very malleable.
[04:47:45] Joe will agree with everything that his guest is saying.
[04:47:49] That's how, that's why he's such a good interviewer
[04:47:51] in general, because he is, he's a fairly interesting
[04:47:54] interviewer and if he has interesting people on,
[04:47:57] then it's like actually a fun conversation.
[04:48:00] However, there are certain things that he hyper-fixates on.
[04:48:06] The only time, as the Joe Rogan whisperer,
[04:48:08] the only time where I've ever heard Joe push back on gas
[04:48:12] is when it comes to weed,
[04:48:14] and when it comes to like DMT and stuff, right?
[04:48:18] And last but not least, after COVID,
[04:48:21] when it came to vaccines and COVID related shit, okay?
[04:48:26] Okay. Nowadays, Joe Rogan has added a third or fourth thing to his rotation, which is
[04:48:38] Israel's influence over American politics. Okay.
[04:48:42] Oh, the trans, the other one was trans athletes. That's right, trans athletes. That's another
[04:48:50] He will always debate his guests on trans athletes weed and
[04:48:55] Vaccines right even his friends like long-term
[04:49:00] long-term friends
[04:49:03] He will he will argue endlessly on so
[04:49:08] Now he's got another thing which is Israel it's clear
[04:49:12] That's why he's not giving up on this is real shit where he's like well, don't you think it's like a lot of influence
[04:49:18] It is very fun.
[04:49:21] After we bomb them in June, that was the initial attack, right?
[04:49:27] June of last year.
[04:49:28] Yeah.
[04:49:29] In November, yeah.
[04:49:30] Right.
[04:49:31] Do you think he would have continued with the most recent campaign if it wasn't for
[04:49:36] the influence of Israel?
[04:49:37] Yes.
[04:49:38] Yes, I really do.
[04:49:39] Yeah.
[04:49:40] Look, I mean, I think, again, and I see this, and I see it even from people that are in
[04:49:47] our coalition and this would be my flipside to the hawks who have been attacking me or
[04:49:51] the president mercilessly over negotiation. I would sort of turn this back on some of
[04:49:56] the doves or some of the realists who have been attacking the president of the United
[04:49:59] States. The doves? Those are the peace people?
[04:50:02] Peace people. That's what you call them. The doves.
[04:50:03] Hawks and doves.
[04:50:04] You ever heard that phrase?
[04:50:05] I've heard hawks. I've heard hawks. I don't think I've ever heard doves.
[04:50:17] I'm not going to say anything. It's fine. He doesn't know peaceful doves. That doesn't determine how dumb he is
[04:50:30] This guy's one of the top minds in American politics man in pigeons Hawks and I don't know
[04:50:39] I think it's more doves. He's good, right? So
[04:50:41] So, what I think a lot of people, I've heard this argument, is this idea that Donald Trump,
[04:50:50] you know, was sort of, I've even heard people say he was blackmailed into this.
[04:50:54] Yeah, but that's not true.
[04:50:57] It's just not true.
[04:50:58] I've seen the decision making up close again.
[04:51:00] Whether you agree or disagree with our negotiation, or whether you agree or disagree with the
[04:51:04] decision to launch the campaign, Epic Fury to begin with, the idea that Donald Trump
[04:51:10] is being like back blackmailed is crazy to me.
[04:51:16] Because again, I see the way that he makes decisions.
[04:51:19] I see the way that he processes this stuff.
[04:51:21] Like the idea that he picks up the phone with anybody
[04:51:23] and says, hey, like I'm gonna take orders from you.
[04:51:25] No, that's just not how Donald Trump operates.
[04:51:27] Can you understand though,
[04:51:29] why people would come to that conclusion,
[04:51:31] especially because of the Epstein files?
[04:51:35] What do you mean?
[04:51:36] Well, the Epstein files.
[04:51:38] Oh my God.
[04:51:40] Okay. I take back everything I said, I take back everything I said about Joe Rogan.
[04:51:43] This is turning out to be one of the best interviews I've ever watched JD Van's take.
[04:51:51] Oh my God. He's so one note on this Israel shit that low keys.
[04:51:56] Like, well, don't you think it's reasonable for people to think that like Israel has tremendous
[04:52:02] levels of control over American politics because there's a pedophilia black male ring that
[04:52:07] All of our societal elites are a part of. Boom.
[04:52:11] Good luck griper in your way out of that one, JD.
[04:52:15] Let's see how he weasels out of this.
[04:52:17] We're supposed to be released. We're, and there was a tremendous
[04:52:20] CNN wouldn't ask this. Are you kidding me?
[04:52:22] Jake Tapper with drone strike, whoever the fuck dare make a connection
[04:52:27] between Epstein and Israel.
[04:52:30] Jake Tapper was in a fucking shot had drawn to your house.
[04:52:33] If you did that and you were on the CNN payroll,
[04:52:35] this amount of resistance to those files being released.
[04:52:39] And that's concerned a lot of people.
[04:52:41] Cause if, if you're talking about very wealthy,
[04:52:44] powerful people that we're in.
[04:52:45] I take it back.
[04:52:46] I'm back on the,
[04:52:47] I'm back on the Joe Rogan experience tip.
[04:52:48] That's awesome.
[04:52:50] Dude, the follow-ups.
[04:52:53] Asian crimes.
[04:52:54] I see.
[04:52:55] You're basically saying like there's a,
[04:52:56] the fear is that whatever's in the Epstein files was used
[04:53:00] to blackmail like the administration into doing the Iran thing.
[04:53:04] Or at the very least, the people that were involved in the Epstein files that didn't
[04:53:10] want them coming out had undue influence.
[04:53:14] Well, again, like, say this with all candor, like, we absolutely screwed up the comms of
[04:53:21] the Epstein files, like we just did.
[04:53:24] But do I think the reason we screwed up the comms is because we were trying to hide something?
[04:53:28] No.
[04:53:29] I think the reason we screwed up the comms of the Epstein files is one, you know, Pam
[04:53:33] said, Pam Bondi said, the client list is on my desk, right?
[04:53:38] Well, see, they had binders.
[04:53:40] That's there were a hundred percent.
[04:53:45] It's this is such an indefensible position.
[04:53:48] This is such an indefensible position.
[04:53:50] So good luck.
[04:53:53] Good fucking luck to JD here.
[04:53:56] Okay.
[04:53:59] Yeah.
[04:53:59] How do you, how do you explain this stuff?
[04:54:01] I mean, this is like, this is such a perfect story for Joe because it's like conspiracy theories, many of which are not even theories.
[04:54:09] It's just like real crimes.
[04:54:12] Um, and it does tie back to Israel and he knows it.
[04:54:15] So he's just like, why, why won't the FC files be released?
[04:54:19] Right.
[04:54:19] Front, but those binders were largely documents that had already been released.
[04:54:23] Right.
[04:54:23] So, so here's, let me try.
[04:54:25] Well, what was the purpose?
[04:54:26] Dude, look at this.
[04:54:28] What is happening?
[04:54:30] Hey yo, what the fuck Joe's like no no, let's let's stay on this let's follow up. Let's
[04:54:37] Formative display he fucking way he was let's let me try what was literally the purpose of that perform
[04:54:48] Cook Joe cook I'm back. I'm back on the Joe Rogan experience tip
[04:54:56] Look and he knows it too
[04:54:58] He went, got him.
[04:55:00] I'm going to have display of the Epstein files and she was saying there's tens of thousands of hours of film.
[04:55:08] I don't know what the purpose of it was, but I know that the effect of it was to make people mistrust the entire effort.
[04:55:16] And what I think was happening, look, I know Pam, I like Pam, I don't think there's anything malicious going on.
[04:55:21] I think Pam was trying to respond to the political moment.
[04:55:25] she overstated what we had and what we didn't have. And I think that she, you know, got,
[04:55:30] got roasted for public. No, this is, by the way, the reason why Joe is not giving up on this is
[04:55:35] because like I said, this is one of his hyper fixations. It literally is right in the wheelhouse
[04:55:41] of conspiracy theories and stuff like that too. So this is, this is one of Joe's new hyper fixations.
[04:55:46] So obviously he's like, so yeah, what do you mean? Like, so, so why did Pam Bonnie fuck that up?
[04:55:52] up. We found our new 60 minutes correspondent. Are you kidding me? Again, Larry Ellison with
[04:55:59] Drone Shrike Joe Rogan.
[04:56:00] Joe Rogan
[04:56:01] By a lot of people, including me, like you know, you know, I've talked about this a lot.
[04:56:04] I'm like one of the OG Epstein conspiracy theorists. I've probably gone down every single rabbit
[04:56:10] hole. We could go down most of them today. Look, the original sin of the Epstein investigation,
[04:56:18] And obviously I'm biased here, but it was not what Donald Trump and the administration
[04:56:23] did in 2025.
[04:56:25] It was you have to go back to 2007, 2008.
[04:56:27] The original Alex Acosta investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, where he basically dropped
[04:56:33] the federal charges.
[04:56:34] I think Epstein ended up getting prosecuted on some sort of local thing.
[04:56:39] But the original warrant, you had the original warrant back in 2008.
[04:56:43] What was he looking for?
[04:56:44] What was he allowed to look for?
[04:56:46] What were they collecting?
[04:56:47] was not looking at a broader conspiracy. So that happens. Okay. Epstein gets pinched.
[04:56:54] I think he goes to prison or maybe this is when he was on house arrest, but like anything
[04:56:59] that existed from the eighties and nineties up to 2006, 2007, anything that existed that
[04:57:06] we didn't get back then was disappeared. Right. So like when people say has what you've seen
[04:57:13] on the inside make you think that Epstein never blackmailed people or that Epstein never
[04:57:19] engaged in broader sex trafficking? No, absolutely not.
[04:57:21] Yeah, there's something really funny about the entire Epstein saga is that almost all
[04:57:27] of it happened under Donald Trump. The most consequential parts about Epstein getting
[04:57:34] pinched again, and even down to the guy who gave him a sweetheart plea bargain, Alexander
[04:57:42] Acosta was Trump's labor secretary at the time and had to literally resign from his
[04:57:49] job at the time.
[04:57:50] Because everyone was like, wait a minute, what the fuck is Trump's labor secretary,
[04:57:54] the South Florida prosecutor that gave Jeffrey Epstein his plea heart sweet, uh, this a
[04:57:59] sweetheart plea deal.
[04:58:00] What the fuck is happening?
[04:58:02] So that happened under Trump.
[04:58:04] And then all of this stuff is now happening under Trump too.
[04:58:08] How can you be an Epstein truth or in any way, shape or form and then be a Trump guy, JD?
[04:58:14] What I have seen and I've looked at most of the files is that there just wasn't
[04:58:21] dispositive evidence.
[04:58:23] And if that dispositive evidence ever existed, it was probably destroyed after 2006, 2007.
[04:58:28] Now, look again, in our defense, yes, was there some, you know, bitching and moaning
[04:58:33] and was there some back and forth?
[04:58:34] Yes.
[04:58:35] But there, that we.
[04:58:37] Oh, it's always...
[04:58:40] It wasn't while he was Labor Secretary? Alexander Acosta was Labor Secretary while Epstein went back to prison.
[04:58:52] What do you mean? Yes, he was.
[04:58:54] Alistair Costa was Trump's labor secretary under Bush Jr. No dog. When Jeffrey Epstein
[04:59:05] went to prison the first time, he got a sweetheart plea deal. The prosecutor overseeing that case
[04:59:12] that offered him that sweetheart plea deal was Alexander Acosta. At the time, he was
[04:59:18] a South Florida prosecutor. Then he continued on with his career. Okay. And he was elevated
[04:59:25] to being Trump's labor secretary in the first term. So the second time Jeffrey Epstein was
[04:59:31] popped and went to prison, the labor secretary was Alexander Acosta and he had to resign from
[04:59:37] this position. What are you guys talking about?
[04:59:46] Okay, okay, you originally made it seem like the accost of the deal was while the cost of
[05:00:01] the secretary. No, I didn't make it seem like that at all. As a matter of fact, I said there
[05:00:06] was a south florida prosecutor who gave jeffrey absinite sweetheart plea deal
[05:00:10] his name was alexander accosta
[05:00:12] who then became from slayers secretary years later
[05:00:19] i did not do that
[05:00:21] eventually collected
[05:00:23] six million documents
[05:00:25] as part of the effort
[05:00:27] the president people say the president was forced into releasing the documents
[05:00:33] the idea that donald trump could not have killed that legislation especially
[05:00:36] with the united states senate
[05:00:38] is a joke
[05:00:39] he absolutely could have killed it what he do he actually said
[05:00:42] we're really see files
[05:00:44] he thought you know he was annoyed by the story he was annoyed by the
[05:00:46] democrats accusing him of doing things bad
[05:00:49] by the way like
[05:00:51] do i think there is any i've never seen a single piece of credible credible
[05:00:55] evidence
[05:00:56] that the president united states engaged in wrongdoing with minors
[05:01:00] So like when the president says the hoax, this is dog, dog, dog, dog, dog.
[05:01:07] The president literally had numerous now public closed door private meetings at
[05:01:12] the time with members in his caucus that he tried to actively threaten or
[05:01:17] convince to vote against the Epstein file revelations.
[05:01:23] He did that shit.
[05:01:25] Okay.
[05:01:25] So the idea that he didn't like try to engineer the situation to stop the release of these files is nonsense.
[05:01:34] Okay. If Joe really means that he'll ask about Gilead Maxwell, yeah, that too.
[05:01:40] That's what he's talking about is this democratic idea that he somehow was a pedophile. It's absurd. There's no evidence for it.
[05:01:48] Now the Epstein doc the Epstein, you know, law gets signed
[05:01:54] We find six million documents. We find out three million of them are actually responsive has something to do with the Epstein estate
[05:02:00] We release all of them with the exception of a few things that are like, you know
[05:02:04] The courts have said that we have to redact certain things. We can't release certain files
[05:02:09] But like we did release all these files. Did it take longer than it should have taken?
[05:02:15] Yes, but we did release these files and again
[05:02:17] And the problem here is not like anything that's in the files or not in the files.
[05:02:26] The problem is if you go back to the original investigation, it was designed in a way that
[05:02:31] was way too narrow.
[05:02:32] If there was a-
[05:02:33] Oh, so a previous administration fucked up the investigation, got it.
[05:02:39] So why are there still millions of files that are unreleased?
[05:02:45] Why is that the case?
[05:02:47] broader conspiracy. And you know my view is that there probably was. The evidence that
[05:02:53] existed in 2007, that was the opportunity to get there.
[05:02:56] So when you say there probably was a broader conspiracy, what exactly are you saying?
[05:03:00] I think there are a few different options. I mean, look, man, I like, you know, I could
[05:03:04] literally do two episodes about this. I've gone on down to every rabbit hole. There's
[05:03:08] this funny New York Times story that's somewhat true, somewhat false, but where Susie Wiles,
[05:03:13] the White House Chief of Staff says, well, we know JD is a conspiracy theorist on this.
[05:03:16] I am actually. I've gone down every rabbit hole here. Look, so there's the theory that
[05:03:23] whether it was American Intel or foreign Intel that Epstein was sort of using, Epstein
[05:03:30] was using sort of the sex ring to blackmail rich and powerful people. There's that piece
[05:03:36] of it. You know, I think there's a separate conspiracy that hasn't gotten covered as much,
[05:03:42] which is that Epstein actually, okay,
[05:03:46] if you go back to the original Epstein guy
[05:03:49] was Les Wexner, okay, who Columbus, Ohio
[05:03:53] was the wealthiest person in Ohio,
[05:03:55] maybe still is the wealthiest person in the state of Ohio,
[05:03:57] the thing that everybody in Columbus,
[05:04:00] I lived there for a time, knew about
[05:04:02] the Wexner-Epstein relationship,
[05:04:05] is that Epstein was his tax guy.
[05:04:08] He's the best tax guy. He's a numbers guy. That's what it is. Jeffrey Epstein best tax guy around
[05:04:16] Okay, people don't understand how good he is. This guy was doing magic with the taxes
[05:04:22] That's why randomly less Wexner gave power of attorney over to this random fucking dickhead
[05:04:31] Yeah
[05:04:32] That's what it is. That's what happened. The Epstein was like the genius at identifying weird tax strategies
[05:04:40] That would allow you to not have to pay taxes
[05:04:43] But if you were being a little skeptical would also say that it would allow Epstein to either blackmail people or to have a separate
[05:04:50] Nexus of influence and control on rich and powerful people and so I think there's an under reported underexplored story of
[05:04:58] his EPS was Epstein like
[05:05:00] doing a lot of tax stuff that was not on the up and up and is that one way in
[05:05:05] which he gained blackmail it's not opposite of the sexual blackmail story
[05:05:09] but in some ways it's it's you know you could imagine both things being true I
[05:05:15] also just think there's an element of he was a scumbag he was a very sick person
[05:05:21] he built relationships with a lot of other rich and powerful people who just
[05:05:26] didn't have any real moral judgment about the fact the guy was obviously a scumbag.
[05:05:30] And again, to go back to defending Donald Trump, I know people don't want to hear this
[05:05:33] these days, but like, who was the guy?
[05:05:37] People say Donald Trump's blackmailed by Jeffrey Epstein.
[05:05:40] Who was the guy who narked on Epstein to the Palm Beach police?
[05:05:44] That's in the Epstein files.
[05:05:45] It was Donald Trump.
[05:05:46] He also kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago in 2005.
[05:05:49] It kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago.
[05:05:50] It just, again.
[05:05:51] It's obvious that Epstein was a sick man.
[05:05:53] Yes, but if people want to say we mishandled the Epstein release, guilty.
[05:05:57] We did mishandle, especially the communications of it.
[05:06:00] What do you think should have been done?
[05:06:01] I think that we should have just dropped everything at the very beginning and like obviously
[05:06:05] it takes a little time to review the stuff, to find the stuff, to redact things where
[05:06:09] you have victims and so forth, but we should have just done it as quickly as possible.
[05:06:12] But some of the stuff that was redacted, some of the names that were redacted weren't victims.
[05:06:17] So yeah, I've looked into this, and my understanding of this, having looked at a lot of this, but
[05:06:24] not all of it, is that it is sometimes hard to draw a distinction between victim and co-conspirator.
[05:06:32] And like, let me highlight this in a very sort of obvious way.
[05:06:37] Rokana, who's been one of the most, one of the loudest voices on the Epstein file.
[05:06:40] Well, he became very loud on the Epstein files the minute Donald Trump became president,
[05:06:44] didn't seem to care about it during the Biden administration. He actually brought one of
[05:06:49] the Epstein victims, I think to the state of the union last year, or maybe it was the
[05:06:52] year before last. Well, like that victim, and I'm not accusing, I'm not saying she wasn't
[05:06:57] a victim. I don't know anything about her particular case. She was also listed as a
[05:07:03] co-conspirator in some of these documents, right? So there's an idea that some of the
[05:07:06] people who were engaged in the sex trafficking were also, you know, facilitating it as well.
[05:07:11] they were incentivized to get more girls. Yeah, but what I, but yes, that's right.
[05:07:16] But the idea is that it's hard to sort of, it's sometimes a little bit of a gray area
[05:07:20] between some of the people who were alleged victims were also alleged co-conspirators.
[05:07:32] You know who's not? I like that he's literally like some of these victims also did fucked
[05:07:38] up things. But you know who definitely didn't? My big beautiful president who's mentioned
[05:07:43] in the Epstein files up and down a million times over who tried to stop it from being
[05:07:49] released. He's actually so perfect. This motherfucker will blame everybody, including the victims
[05:07:57] before he just says, yeah, you know, it is a little suspicious that Trump is all over
[05:08:01] this shit. That's so awesome. Actually, Joe, the only one, the only Jeffrey Epstein victim
[05:08:16] is not the children, is not the women. It's actually Donald Trump. And that's a brave
[05:08:22] take that no one wants to say. The only person who was ever victimized by Jeffrey Epstein,
[05:08:27] happens to be the president now. His name is Donald Trump.
[05:08:33] Yeah, thanks, man. That sounds awesome.
[05:08:38] Like, this reminds me of, this is not dissimilar in some ways to trying to constantly fucking tie
[05:08:48] back Israel to Judaism, right? Where it is virtually impossible at this point
[05:08:56] to try to get people to look at the Epstein files, look at the Epstein situation, and then be like,
[05:09:03] well, Trump is actually infallible. He looks really good in all of this. Like, it's just not
[05:09:08] gonna happen, okay? It's just not gonna happen. You did it. You fucking literally constantly ran on
[05:09:16] releasing the Epstein files and all this stuff. So how the fuck do you think you're gonna get away
[05:09:22] with it now. It just doesn't make any sense. You've tied it. You've tied those two things
[05:09:32] inseparably to one another. And Trump himself tied himself to the Epstein files inseparably.
[05:09:41] It just doesn't, it's, it's, you're making your own job more difficult. You might as
[05:09:45] well just move on and try to talk about other shit and hope that people don't, hope that
[05:09:51] people don't fucking pair these two things together or forget about it, okay?
[05:10:05] I cannot believe he said, I cannot believe he fucking said that Donald Trump is the only
[05:10:13] infallible victim of Jeffrey Epstein pretty much.
[05:10:18] Even the other, the victims, well, they themselves did some crimes.
[05:10:22] And so what DOJ tried to do was kind of make that judgment as best they could and release
[05:10:28] as much as possible.
[05:10:30] But it's clear that he was trying, like there is no shot.
[05:10:33] Okay.
[05:10:34] Also, here's the other side of the story, which, you know, not great for people who
[05:10:38] want to defend Israel.
[05:10:39] The other side of the story is that there are a lot of connections to Israel with Jeffrey
[05:10:45] Epstein.
[05:10:46] Okay.
[05:10:47] And not only that, but a lot of people already have this suspicion that American potters
[05:10:53] are being blackmailed by Israel. Joe Rogan brought it up earlier. That's the reason why
[05:10:57] he's having this conversation about the Epstein files, because in his mind, and in the minds
[05:11:01] of everyone that's like paying attention to this, he's trying to make the connective tissue
[05:11:05] between Israel and the unfathomable amount of influence they have, tying it back to
[05:11:11] Jeffrey Epstein.
[05:11:14] The average person at this point in the United States of America that pays like half attention
[05:11:18] to any of the shit thinks that the F.C. files are part of the reason why Donald Trump won't
[05:11:22] actually do anything about Israel, won't actually tell Israel to stand down.
[05:11:27] That's how they operate.
[05:11:29] And it's not like a super far-fetched conspiracy theory either because some of the things that
[05:11:33] Donald Trump does with his relationship to Israel are so unfathomable and so against
[05:11:40] the the direct and indirect interest of the united states of america that like
[05:11:44] you know even we joke around about it here where we're like oh they're gonna
[05:11:48] you know the first time donald trump's talk shit about israeli we're gonna we're
[05:11:51] gonna start seeing some leaks
[05:11:57] because when something is inexplicable
[05:12:00] people are gonna try to figure out a way to explain it and it's sitting right
[05:12:06] there. It's sitting right there, so it's kind of tough for people to not make that assumption.
[05:12:14] To get in contact with people that he felt were influential, it was clear that he was trying
[05:12:21] to get people to get together on the island and meet at parties. So there was something he was
[05:12:28] doing where he was trying to either influence people or compromise people. Correct. So it's not,
[05:12:35] There's some sort of an operation that was going on.
[05:12:39] There is a story there and you know I will go to my death bed believing there's a story
[05:12:45] there but I can't prove it and I promise you there's not some document that at least I'm
[05:12:50] hiding that allows us to prove exactly what was going on.
[05:12:54] Well, it would, this would be a totally reasonable thing for basically any other human being
[05:13:02] to say, with the exception of the Vice President of the United States of America.
[05:13:09] There's like, maybe, maximum 100 people on the planet that can't say what you're saying
[05:13:17] right now, okay?
[05:13:19] Oh, I'll go to my deathbed wondering what happened.
[05:13:23] You're the fucking VP!
[05:13:27] You're the VP!
[05:13:29] What are you saying?
[05:13:30] Galein Maxwell being interviewed by Joe Rogan being like, I will never know what happened.
[05:13:36] It's like you were there. Galein, I think you know you were there. You were a part of it.
[05:13:43] And with JD Vance, it's like, if you're that fucking confused, go the fuck down to the files and take a look.
[05:13:50] Look, that's what's so funny about it.
[05:13:57] He's like, Joe, between you and I, I too want some answers.
[05:14:02] Well, really?
[05:14:03] Oh, you do.
[05:14:05] You want answers, don't you?
[05:14:07] That's interesting.
[05:14:10] Rogan fans are trashing the apartment they all share right
[05:14:13] now.
[05:14:14] That's
[05:14:17] On and out. He was also trying to get scientists.
[05:14:20] And this is one of the reasons he got that
[05:14:24] Okay, so a ranch in New Mexico.
[05:14:26] So a friend of mine has this element.
[05:14:28] Sorry, I should step back.
[05:14:30] Conspiracy theories.
[05:14:31] One of the ways you discredit conspiracy theory.
[05:14:33] I thought about this a lot is try to hide it.
[05:14:36] Another way you discredit conspiracy theory is by flooding the zone.
[05:14:40] So one of the things I've tried to do when looking at all this stuff is to try
[05:14:42] to understand sort of where it fits in and, and then, you know, try to separate.
[05:14:47] Dude, why, why is he doing this thing where he's like putting his arm around Joe and being
[05:14:52] like, Joe, you and I, we're, we're both trying to figure out who's an impediment to all this
[05:14:58] stuff.
[05:14:59] But who's an impediment to who is creating unnecessary hurdles for us to find out more?
[05:15:06] Bitch, you're the VP.
[05:15:08] You're not some random guy.
[05:15:11] You're not Duncan Trussell.
[05:15:12] are you talking about you want to figure out who did this? Don't do this. I'm just like
[05:15:18] you shit. You're not. You're not like Joe Rogan. You're not like me. You're not like
[05:15:24] an average American. You're the fucking vice president. Who is dude? Who who is looking
[05:15:31] at this and going? Yeah, no, I this is great. Well, he's sure. JD Van sure convinced me.
[05:15:42] all just looking for answers, man. Joe, you and I, you and I, we're both looking for answers.
[05:15:48] I'm just as confused as you are. Okay, go look. Great. They're real from the fake,
[05:15:56] but one really interesting element of the whole Jeffrey Epstein saga. Okay, so he dies in 2019,
[05:16:02] right? This is at the very end of the first Trump administration. His death coincides very,
[05:16:10] very closely. There's not my observation, this is a friend, but I don't want to reveal
[05:16:14] confidence is here. It coincides very closely with the end of what you might call the era
[05:16:21] of censorship in academia. So back in 2019, 2020, we reached sort of peak academic censorship.
[05:16:29] Oh my God, he's putting, oh dude, he did it. He deployed, he deployed the smoke grenade.
[05:16:36] War, culture war, culture war, Joe was so close. Joe was so close and he had to hit him with a,
[05:16:41] well, you know who killed Jeffrey Epstein actually? Woke. That's right, Joe. I didn't want to say it.
[05:16:49] Woke killed Jeffrey Epstein. Fantastic. Thank you. That's awesome.
[05:16:56] Where people wouldn't publish a medical study because it might have sort of disparate impact
[05:17:00] racial undertones or people were getting fired from academia for not doing land
[05:17:05] acknowledgment stuff like that. Okay. I'm not saying that stuff has completely
[05:17:09] gone away but Epstein we know was funding a ton of scientists by the way
[05:17:13] where did his money come from? It was funding a ton of scientists but like
[05:17:17] when he died it's almost like the era of censorship started to break because he
[05:17:24] wasn't just he was also going to do a lot of in academia but also you know he's
[05:17:27] plugged into the social media companies like this is a duty new
[05:17:30] everybody. He knew everybody. So, look, I don't know.
[05:17:35] So where did his money come from? Well, from given part of it is suspect tax
[05:17:42] advice and setting up tax schemes for a lot of very, very rich people. Right, but
[05:17:48] why was he motivated to influence academia and what was the purpose? I
[05:17:55] don't know the answer to that question. I mean, I have theories. There's of
[05:17:59] course, the most people think he was massage. Yeah, massage or CIA or some
[05:18:04] other deep state, whether in America or Israel or another country or both. You
[05:18:11] know, look, was he he clearly had connections to the uppers, the highest
[05:18:16] levels of American intelligence. He clearly had connections to the highest
[05:18:20] levels of Israeli intelligence. In fact, one of the interesting story, one of the
[05:18:23] interesting things the Epstein saga reveals about, and I try to make this
[05:18:27] point. One of the reasons why I'm always careful, and I say there are some elements within the
[05:18:33] Israeli government who don't like our peace process, because there are a lot of elements
[05:18:37] within the Israeli government that actually do like our peace process. They recognize
[05:18:40] that this indefinite campaign is not good for them either. And the Epstein thing is interesting
[05:18:46] because as much as I know, you know, Prime Minister Netanyahu, not a particularly popular person
[05:18:53] in the United States of America right now, Epsom seemed to be connected to the elements
[05:18:59] of the Israeli deep state that were left. Wait, Rewind Vance admitted?
[05:19:05] Look, was he, he clearly had connections to the uppers, the highest levels of American
[05:19:12] intelligence. Yeah, no, he, he admits it, but no, hold on, hold on. Look at how he pieces it back.
[05:19:20] No, sh, listen, he admits that Jeffrey Epstein was connected to the Israeli state. He admits
[05:19:26] that Jeffrey Epstein was connected to the, the American. First, he said Epstein did woke.
[05:19:33] Shut up. Stop demanding that I rewind. I know he said Jeffrey Epstein invented woke. Okay.
[05:19:43] Then he said Epstein is connected to the highest levels of the American government and highest
[05:19:47] levels of the Israeli government, okay? But watch how he ties it back. This is how the Israeli
[05:19:55] government, or at least the Likud government, talks about the Epstein files, okay?
[05:20:05] He clearly had connections to the highest levels of Israeli intelligence. In fact,
[05:20:10] one of the interesting things the Epstein saga reveals about, and I try to make this point,
[05:20:15] It's one of the reasons why I'm
[05:20:18] If you want to rewind all you need to do is subscribe by the way the piker broadcasting services sponsored by you the people support independent media
[05:20:26] Support the piker broadcasting service
[05:20:29] The people's broadcasting service for tomorrow's news today sometimes yesterday's news today as well
[05:20:35] and
[05:20:36] Of course if we get to
[05:20:38] We situation monitor around these parts we get to level 10 hype train. We we like to carry the flame
[05:20:44] We haven't really carried the flame in a minute. So, you know, we could carry the flame today potentially
[05:20:49] Close presence with a hundred gifted subs. Oh my god, the straightest clothes, but close presence is back
[05:20:57] Always careful and I say there are some elements within the Israeli government
[05:21:02] Who don't like our peace process because there are a lot of elements within the Israeli government that actually do like our peace process
[05:21:08] They recognize that this indefinite campaign is not good for them either and in the Epstein thing is interesting because
[05:21:15] As much as the tax fraud they give the five minutes Netanyahu not a particularly popular person in the United States of America right now
[05:21:24] Epstein seemed to be connected to the elements of the Israeli deep state that were left of center
[05:21:30] I got always found that yeah, see he's he's doing the same fucking thing
[05:21:35] This is how Benjamin Netanyahu talked about the Epstein files. He literally said
[05:21:41] It was a hood Barak. It's the woke libtards
[05:21:45] Jeffrey Epstein is a is a woke libtard phenomena
[05:21:49] Okay, Noah Son you missed he asked about Mossad
[05:21:53] Oh my god. Yes. Okay. He's asked about Mossad and he said yes Jeffrey Epstein could be Mossad
[05:21:58] Is that what do you want me to see? Is that what you want? Is that what you fucking want, dude?
[05:22:02] You want me to go back here? Should we start here again? Jesus fucking cries. I don't want to rewind. Oh my god
[05:22:09] What Tommy says they give us 50 bones
[05:22:18] Fuck it dude, let's start here
[05:22:23] The Joe Rogan experience
[05:22:29] We're done I'm done with the Joe Rogan experience
[05:22:32] Okay, I'm done. I'm done with the Joe Rogan experience. I'm moving on. Okay. Are you happy?
[05:22:42] Are you happy? Jesus Christ, y'all are so fucking annoying.
[05:22:50] Anyway, let's talk about Abdul El Sayed, ladies and gentlemen, Abdul El Sayed, a man that
[05:23:05] the Epstein class is after, aggressively.
[05:23:09] Now, for those of you who have been paying close attention, Abdul El Sayed, there was
[05:23:14] a, there was a poll that came out after Mallory McMorrow dropped out.
[05:23:20] Okay. After the debates took place. And once that poll came out, it showed this was a poll
[05:23:28] that actually is coming from a newspaper that has already endorsed Haley Stevens, basically
[05:23:37] like an internal poll. This internal poll showed Haley Stevens doing very well. Haley Stevens
[05:23:48] a 48, Obdual was a 41. That poll has been oversampling Detroit voters, and that poll
[05:23:56] has always shown Haley Stevens overperforming as opposed to the rest of the polls that have
[05:24:02] come out in this Michigan primary race thus far. Okay?
[05:24:08] However, ladies and gentlemen, you might have actually felt some type of way when you saw
[05:24:15] that poll, you might have been worried about that poll, you might have been confused about
[05:24:19] what was going on as many of us were. You might have thought to yourself, how could someone
[05:24:27] who has no ground game whatsoever just carry themselves into victory with $50 million of
[05:24:35] television ads? Well, it turns out there's a really good poll that came out, an internal poll
[05:24:41] poll that came out from data for progress, data for progress, conducted poll that shows
[05:24:54] that our boy Abdul is actually fucking cruising new poll of the Michigan Senate Democratic
[05:25:02] primary conducted by data for progress on behalf of American priorities pack, which
[05:25:05] is backing, El Sayed, shows Abdul El Sayed at 54% with a plus 13 on Hailey Stevens at
[05:25:19] 41% with 5% on this side.
[05:25:23] An American Priorities Today released a new poll conducted for data for progress of likely
[05:25:27] Democratic primary voters in Michigan, gauging their interest and their preference to the
[05:25:30] Senate candidates, Dr. Abdul El Sayed and US Representative Hailey Stevens.
[05:25:34] The poll finds they'll say, leading Stevens by 13.54% to 41 with 5% undecided. Further,
[05:25:41] the survey finds APAC is deeply unpopular Michigan Democrat and primary voters with
[05:25:44] a net 40 minus 46 favorability rating. 78% say they would be less likely to vote for
[05:25:49] a U S candidate backed by APAC. And 86% say they would be less likely to vote for a candidate
[05:25:55] who's forced continued funding for Israel's war in Gaza.
[05:26:00] them, I say, what gives? There's only one candidate in this race, who?
[05:26:06] Israel comes to me in my dreams. That's right, Hailey Stevens. Oh my God. Oh my Lord.
[05:26:18] Holy moly, 76% agree that a candidate who doesn't have the courage to call what's happening in Gaza,
[05:26:22] a genocide loses credibility as a fighter willing to stand up to Donald Trump. Even Facebook,
[05:26:28] why moms are overwhelmingly for El Sayed. It's crazy. People, this is in the response to Gary
[05:26:35] Peters coming out and saying that Gary Peters is endorsing Hayley Stevens. These are Facebook,
[05:26:42] Wine Moms. One of the greatest normie barometers you can probably arrive at is Facebook comments.
[05:26:48] The very fact that Facebook commenters are saying, I don't expect people to care very much what Gary
[05:26:53] thinks. They're smarter voters now. They're done with business as usual. He was also one of seven
[05:26:56] seven Dems including Fatima, the voter to confirm Kristi Noem is judgmentist questionable.
[05:27:00] This is satire right? Trade one win bag for another. 40 million in foreign funding will
[05:27:07] do that already voted in the primer for Abdul Al Sayed. We need serious change. Pro Israel
[05:27:11] ties can't wait to vote. Abdul Al Sayed. Of course she does.
[05:27:15] Israel comes to me in my dreams. Israel comes to me in my dreams.
[05:27:22] Abdul Al Sayed. Hard, hard, hard, hard, hard. Abdul Al Sayed has got my vote.
[05:27:25] The level of anti-semitism coming from these Y moms in Michigan is unfuckin bearable ladies
[05:27:32] and gentlemen. Oh my God. Hot off the presses.
[05:27:36] Israel comes to me in my dreams. Anyway, so our internal polls reliable. Uh, I mean,
[05:27:43] this is basically like an internal poll. It's, it's obviously going to heavily favor the candidate
[05:27:48] that the pack is endorsing the pack is looking for, but it's no different than the heavily
[05:27:53] favored poll that we just looked at yesterday. So the fact that Abdul's polls are looking
[05:27:58] this good is still good. Now, there's another thing to pay attention to, data for progress.
[05:28:04] A lot of the other pollsters so far have underestimated, consistently underestimated left-flank voters.
[05:28:13] They've consistently underestimated youth voter turnout. This is precisely the reason
[05:28:18] my data for progress, ironically enough, is actually one of the more reliable polls. Last
[05:28:25] two I remember from data for progress, whereas they got Dariya Lisa exactly right and they
[05:28:28] underestimated Mailot Kuros by eight points. Data for progress has been conducting these
[05:28:34] polls and they have a track record.
[05:28:39] A track record that has been pretty fucking solid so far. The polls are correctly called
[05:28:46] New York congressional races. All posters are misses is the nature of the business,
[05:28:50] but no one has been more accurate in them primaries, the cycle and data for progress.
[05:28:53] Just as of late, New York 13, DFP poll had a Villa Chevalier by plus four. The result was
[05:28:59] a Villa Chevalier by plus four in Colorado. DFP had Kuros by plus five and the result was Kuros
[05:29:05] plus 13. Now what's important to remember is there was no other pollster that showed Kuros up.
[05:29:10] Maylock heroes was down in every fucking poll now these are district races. These are not
[05:29:17] Senate races. So obviously the reason why the result was far better for heroes for example is because
[05:29:24] it's a much younger district, right? So let this be a moment of excitement for you but let that
[05:29:38] excitement, like the fire under your ass and go out and once again, fight like hell to make sure
[05:29:43] that you combat the misinformation that's coming out on Abdul Al-Said, because there is a tremendous
[05:29:49] amount of money to interest in this race, unbelievable amounts of money to interest.
[05:29:54] I said to Shannon Watts who said, if dead men spend as much time knocking doors as
[05:29:58] and phone bank is they do writing mean tweets in your intended, I'm confident we win majorities
[05:30:01] across the country. I said, Shannon Watts hates the NRA. She loves APAC though. She's now endorsing
[05:30:06] APAC candidates and fighting for them. Both are right-wing, mega-funded lobbying groups that want
[05:30:10] to continue killing kids in schools. Shanna Wasch should doorknock against APAC candidates,
[05:30:15] not for them. If Abdelal said, I wanted a tax like this to stop so we could win back the crucial
[05:30:20] voters he's hemorrhaging to Stevens, he could and would. Instead, he's chosen to befriend
[05:30:24] a campaign with this vile hate monger who makes millions from causing chaos.
[05:30:27] I'm gonna I'm gonna reply to her and I'm gonna say Shannon
[05:30:37] would you ever endorse or doorknock for a Democrat that was majority funded by
[05:30:57] the NRA. If the answer is no, then why are you doing so for a candidate for Haley Stevens,
[05:31:16] actually for Haley Stevens, who is majority funded by APAC.
[05:31:36] I think that's a pretty fair question to ask.
[05:31:41] Shannon Watts hates the NRA. She loves APAC though. She's now endorsing APAC candidates
[05:31:45] and fighting for them both are right-wing maga-funded lobbying groups that want to continue killing kids in schools
[05:32:01] She will say the NRA aren't a pack. Yes, the NRA and a pack are both
[05:32:06] Notice how I said both right-wing funded and
[05:32:11] Said not only are they right-wing funded. They're funded by maga
[05:32:15] I cannot stress that she stopped working as a full-time anti-gun advocate to become a
[05:32:42] I know. And yes, we're going to watch the Hassanabi heads video from Steven Azark in
[05:32:51] a little bit. He interviewed you guys and I know you guys love being interviewed about
[05:32:55] how much you love me. So we will be taking a look at it.
[05:33:11] We're going to do the diarrhea stuff to do the diarrhea explosive diarrhea situation.
[05:33:16] I'm actually very excited about that as well.
[05:33:20] Oh, anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway.
[05:33:26] So. Some good news on the optimal stuff, more news on the optimal stuff.
[05:33:33] More news on the optimal stuff.
[05:33:35] Haley Stevens is trying to deflect away.
[05:33:41] Haley Stevens is trying to deflect away from the obvious attention that Abdulla Sayed and numerous other Michiganders are paying to her situation, like, who's actually funding her campaign, right?
[05:34:00] Obviously, as data for progress found out, a lot of Michiganders are very frustrated
[05:34:04] with APEC.
[05:34:05] They're very frustrated with Israel.
[05:34:06] They're very frustrated with candidates who are being sponsored by APEC and, therefore,
[05:34:11] Israel.
[05:34:12] So, Haley Stevens can't say anything about that because she is a paid stooge for Israel.
[05:34:19] Israel is buying or trying to buy the Senate seat for her, right?
[05:34:24] And we know that already.
[05:34:26] Israel bought her previous seat.
[05:34:28] That's why she says stuff like this.
[05:34:30] Israel comes to me in my dreams.
[05:34:33] So, so, having said that, one of the lines of attack from Haley Stevens' camp against
[05:34:41] Shroi Kai gave 250k to Pro Abdul-Pak.
[05:34:46] Wait, what the fuck?
[05:34:48] Ain't no what, dude, I literally, what the fuck?
[05:34:55] That's my goat, dude, holy shit.
[05:34:58] God damn
[05:35:15] Put his whole dick on it
[05:35:18] So yeah, here's the thing here's the thing here's the thing Haley Stevens has no answer for why she's getting paid
[05:35:23] Why she's getting funded by outside groups to the tune of $50 million and flooding the fucking market
[05:35:29] So one of the things that she thought would be a fantastic way to counter that
[05:35:34] You know is to make a giant deal about Elsa adds tax returns and for the record the tax returns have been released
[05:35:43] Okay, it reports
[05:35:45] 680 $6,000 in household income with his wife in 2025 including
[05:35:50] 262,000 in capital gains. Now this level of wealth puts him about 218th in Congress right in the
[05:35:59] middle, a complete nothing burger. However, what's important to also pay attention to is the fact that
[05:36:06] Abdul El Sayed and his wife are both fucking doctors. Okay? They're both doctors.
[05:36:18] Like, who gives a shit?
[05:36:26] Abdul is a doctor that turned around and started working in,
[05:36:31] Hold on one second, August was a doctor who turned around and worked in public health,
[05:36:44] but then also on top of that, he had a podcast.
[05:36:48] Also yeah, the 300K in capital gains is coming from his parents, I believe his father-in-law
[05:36:54] selling a home or something.
[05:36:57] So, they're not like making crazy plays in the market, right?
[05:37:04] Now, of course, they're trying to make this into, of course, they're going to try to make
[05:37:10] this into, they're going to move the goalposts and they're going to say, oh, well, these are,
[05:37:13] this is not the full tax return.
[05:37:14] We want to know like an itemized receipt or something.
[05:37:17] Now, this might be enough for most people.
[05:37:20] This probably will be enough for most people, but of course, Haley Stevens is going to still
[05:37:24] Keep pressuring, keep pushing and say like, oh my God,
[05:37:28] it's not the full tax returns.
[05:37:29] They're basically doing, dude, they're doing the Obama,
[05:37:33] the full birth certificate.
[05:37:36] Okay.
[05:37:40] Give us the full birth certificate, Barack.
[05:37:42] Where were you born?
[05:37:44] Where were you born, Barack?
[05:37:45] Give us the full certificate.
[05:37:46] He came out and he fucking released it,
[05:37:48] which he never should have.
[05:37:49] Obviously it's a little different.
[05:37:51] Nobdual's tax returns is a perfectly valid to demand as a voter.
[05:37:56] But now they're just moving on.
[05:37:58] They're moving into the next wave of attacks.
[05:38:01] And the NRSC is also doing the same alongside Haley Stevens.
[05:38:04] Very interesting.
[05:38:06] But what's really interesting, as the dirtbag left correctly points to, is that Haley Stevens
[05:38:11] has spent three times as else as net worth on ad spend this week alone.
[05:38:17] the fuck I don't think the NRA a pack comparison is as strong as a lot no dude I'm not making
[05:38:28] the NRA a pack comparison for every single person I would be fine with a fuck dude Bernie
[05:38:33] has a decent NRA rating I don't give a shit about the NRA I do give a shit about a pack
[05:38:38] the reason why I'm bringing up the NRA when I'm talking to Shannon was because she made
[05:38:42] her whole fucking lives mission to combat the NRA. Okay? That's why I said majority
[05:38:49] funded by the NRA versus majority funded by APAC. Do you understand? They're both funded
[05:38:54] by MAGA. They're both funded by the right. They're both right-wing organizations who
[05:39:01] are tasked with making sure that children get murdered in schools.
[05:39:12] I see numerous ads for her and attack ads on Abdul every night on YouTube here. It's crazy. The new attack ad is laughable though
[05:39:17] So I hope normers go what the fuck is this trash?
[05:39:20] Yes
[05:39:22] It appears at least it is barely funded any ask from her campaign
[05:39:25] Which is a question will she be the first Senate candidate in the US industry was the primary by running a race whose paid ad campaign is almost
[05:39:30] Totally bankroll by dark money super bags
[05:39:42] What is this?
[05:39:46] Doctors are well they what the fuck I should have married a doctor fuck this proves he's a capitalist though shouldn't they be happy he's rich I don't get it
[05:39:54] Yeah exactly he says he's a capitalist
[05:39:57] He has capital everybody fucking calm down
[05:40:12] Anyway, from where I'm standing, he's still a broke boy, okay?
[05:40:19] He might have Gays in the gym over me, but he don't got them capital Gays, baby.
[05:40:24] I'm a big businessman.
[05:40:25] You guys know this already, okay?
[05:40:30] I love business and as a big business owner, someone who is an international shipping
[05:40:37] magnate, I must say, I was a fucking broke boy, as opposed to the units that I am trying
[05:40:42] to move to the beautiful nation of Singapore. I just wanted to point that out really quickly
[05:40:48] before people are confused. I want commerce. I want imports. I want exports, specifically
[05:41:00] in the city-state of Singapore. Just putting that out there.
[05:41:12] Don't you not do stocks? It's fine. No, I do stocks. I stock and stack papers
[05:41:20] when I'm counting them after my maresk containers are piling up
[05:41:25] up at the Malacca Strait in transit to the beautiful ports of the beautiful nation of
[05:41:32] Singapore.
[05:41:34] Yes.
[05:41:36] Anyway, we were considering bringing the Capital Games Podcast, the top show on Jim
[05:41:51] In bro financial advice in Singapore, unfortunately, the lawlessness worries us.
[05:41:54] The lawlessness in Singapore worries me as well.
[05:41:59] Imagine doing business, doing commerce in the beautiful nation of Singapore and then
[05:42:02] someone just slanders you and calls you a terrorist.
[05:42:06] Well that makes me get, that makes me second guess.
[05:42:10] Moving my units through the Malacca Strait into the ports of Singapore where my ships
[05:42:15] will get the most excellent service that they could possibly get in any of the ships, or
[05:42:24] in any of the ports around the world. I am based in Singapore and I've considered
[05:42:34] doing business with you, but due to some controversial opinions I've heard online about you, I think
[05:42:38] I might have to reconsider. No! You see?
[05:42:43] You see the financial damages?
[05:42:46] This is a business deal. That could be in the millions, if not billions!
[05:42:53] Now my ships are rerouted!
[05:43:08] Anyway, I personally only do stocks on the SGX Singapore exchange, and I personally would
[05:43:19] love to import US government secrets and buy technology and pay double the usual amount
[05:43:22] of taxes, but I worry about weak job YouTuber harassment campaigns against my companies.
[05:43:26] That's right.
[05:43:27] We all are worried about it.
[05:43:31] Shoycott wishes he could stack paper like the global shipping magnate.
[05:43:39] That's right, Shoycott is not breaded up in comparison to me, an international commerce
[05:43:47] giant, a business tyrant, if you will, not even a Titan, but a tyrant of business.
[05:43:55] I am business, and I mean business.
[05:44:08] Anyway, so, yeah, they try to make a big deal out of it. The tax releases are out.
[05:44:17] And now they're just like going to continue freaking the fuck out over it.
[05:44:23] But this poll really gave me a lot of hope and a lot of confidence today. It made me very happy.
[05:44:32] So now what's interesting is you guys want to know something with near attended and with Shannon Watts.
[05:44:43] So, obviously, they are at the center of this, you know, left flank attack.
[05:44:53] And some people have now taken up defending, like, taken to defending near attendant.
[05:44:57] The creepy fixation on near attendant from left is made similar to the creepy fixation
[05:45:01] from the far right with AOC.
[05:45:02] What I'm saying is creepy misogynistic horseshoe theory is real.
[05:45:09] David Weigel said, near a header emails leaked in the Podesta hack, then had to pull out
[05:45:12] of a Senate-confirmed position because it posed. Nothing on the site can hurt her now.
[05:45:16] If it didn't kill Osterman, why would it kill me situation? And then she posed this of herself.
[05:45:23] Now, I have a theory. The reason why Neera Tandon talks about me a lot is also the same
[05:45:34] reason why Josh Gottheimer and and Mike Lawler came together and wrote this bill. It's not
[05:45:42] a secret that I have offended some very powerful and very wealthy people. I have frustrated them
[05:45:48] and they have put the beat on me. They have decided that I am an enemy that must be taken out.
[05:45:54] Now this could be a number of different people. Obviously Elon Musk has not made it a secret,
[05:45:58] his enmity towards me, and I am certain that there are some very powerful, very wealthy pro-Israel
[05:46:05] donors as well who also despise me. Neera Tanden, I think, talks about me far more than anyone
[05:46:17] who runs a fairly influential democratic think tank should.
[05:46:22] I think the reason why she's doing it is to satisfy that donor. It's the same people that are probably donating to the third way
[05:46:32] think tank as well and
[05:46:34] That's it and I suspect that that is the reason why these guys don't actually just block me and move on and never talk about me
[05:46:41] Because I'm a fucking Twitch streamer who gives a shit, right? I
[05:46:45] Think that's the reason why they do it because those donors they look at that as performance those donors
[05:46:51] they look at that, and even if they fail, they say, oh, you're pissing off this guy.
[05:46:56] So fuck it. It's good. I think that's part of it. If not the major part of it. Um, Adam
[05:47:05] Johnson, of course, is great. Takes his near tendon runs the smear a tendon runs the most
[05:47:10] influential dem think tank in the country center for American poo poo and spends all
[05:47:16] day actively lobbying for one side of a dem primary and working to drive up negatives of
[05:47:21] one of the candidates. If she's going to explicitly electioneer, she needs to disclose Cap's donors.
[05:47:27] Tandon has done two major things since taking over Cap, Center for American Pupu,
[05:47:32] hiring top Biden officials responsible for supporting and covering up genocide in Gaza,
[05:47:36] Tony Blinken and John Feiner, and aggressively taking sides in Democratic primaries on behalf of
[05:47:41] the pro-Israel candidate. Why is she doing this? Why is Cap engaging in explicitly intraparty
[05:47:48] electioneering. Why is their president repeating talking points from APEC and APEC's preferred
[05:47:53] candidates? Is this a traditional function of a think tank? Is this ostensibly what their role is?
[05:47:59] This is not common.
[05:48:05] I think this is a very valid question to ask,
[05:48:08] Center for American Pupu. Okay. What the fuck are you guys doing?
[05:48:15] Center for American Propaganda is right there, but I get it. No. Propaganda is a neutral term.
[05:48:22] Poo-Poo is bad. That's their output.
[05:48:25] Shannon Was blocks every single person that has ever tweeted at her, except for me.
[05:48:33] Now, it might be because she's trying to farm sympathy by saying,
[05:48:37] Look, this disgusting Muslim man keeps coming after me, misogynistic style, or it could
[05:48:45] be something else.
[05:48:54] Anyway, poo poo is bad, which leads us to our next story.
[05:49:03] diarrhea situation. Thing nor do I claim to be a particularly intelligent man. I often
[05:49:10] remind you, I know next to nothing in the grand scheme of things. But if there's one
[05:49:17] thing I do know, it's diarrhea. I would argue I might know it better than most men on this
[05:49:23] planet. My asshole is a factory that never shuts down. I am a big time shitter. So I've
[05:49:31] had plenty of diarrhea bouts in my life. Not that I'm unique in that respect, but it does
[05:49:38] feel like a familiar friend that I know all too well. And now, diarrhea has gone mainstream.
[05:49:45] I'm sure a lot of you have heard or maybe unfortunately even experienced it yourself,
[05:49:49] the cyclosporiasis outbreak that's spreading across the country right now, it is everywhere
[05:49:56] and it seems to only be growing. It's taking the country by storm like the Gangnam style dance
[05:50:01] right now. And I gotta tell you, I've been having diarrhea since before it was cool.
[05:50:05] More cases of a gut-wrenching illness that is caused by a parasite that may be found
[05:50:10] in raw vegetables and fruit. There's a lot of uncertainty around that. That's why I
[05:50:14] say May. There are new numbers that have just been released and they show that there are
[05:50:18] now more than 3,000 cases in Michigan and Ohio, which are the hardest hit states. Most of
[05:50:23] them in Michigan.
[05:50:25] Not the usual suspects here in the spotlight for the explosive diarrhea outbreak.
[05:50:31] I imagine when you think of like foods that'll cause intestinal distress and have you voiding
[05:50:37] your bowels all liquidy and shitty, you probably think of like really greasy food, really processed
[05:50:45] food, or just something that would like inflame the system or just, you know, cause a lot
[05:50:52] a lot of habit, a lot of mayhem internally, but in the case of the cyclospora here, the
[05:51:00] main vectors seem to be fresh fruits and vegetables, you know, the healthiest food options available.
[05:51:10] That kind of blew my mind when I learned where this was coming from, because I eat fresh fruit
[05:51:16] for breakfast like every day and flex now i probably will stop at least for a
[05:51:22] little while just no reason to roll every day closer to be a third world
[05:51:26] third world is um america is a third world country with a gucci belt
[05:51:31] straight up uh data centers have made it so that there's no like uh
[05:51:35] real running water which like water access like having clean water
[05:51:41] infrastructure is one of the telltale signs of a developed nation
[05:51:45] And data centers are cooking that we've already gutted the FDA by way of doge
[05:51:51] So now we don't have the proper controls over
[05:51:54] the the
[05:51:56] Food supply
[05:51:57] Okay, and not not only that but also we can't even identify where the the bad batch of food is coming from
[05:52:06] Okay, why are you completely ignoring the video and mooching off of Charlie?
[05:52:13] Did you
[05:52:15] Dog, he spent the last two minutes talking at the doing diarrhea puns. I'm just giving you more insight into how we got here
[05:52:23] This is the main point of the video
[05:52:25] What do you want me to do? I'm actively transforming the fucking video by actually, you know
[05:52:30] Telling you about what took place and how we got here and why your grandparents are gonna fucking die on the shit
[05:52:36] Or pissing out of their assholes and how it's the responsibility of the Trump government and you're over here being like well
[05:52:42] Well, I can't believe you didn't transform Moist criticals diarrhea puns for the first
[05:52:48] two minutes in this fucking video and instead chose to give me actual fucking data points
[05:52:54] as to how we arrived here.
[05:53:00] Are you okay?
[05:53:05] You should add content, contact when you're watching someone else's work.
[05:53:10] Are you a bot?
[05:53:21] What is happening?
[05:53:22] Do you mean context?
[05:53:25] Okay, here, I'll add some context.
[05:53:28] Charlie Panguino, aka Moist Critical, has IBS, I assume.
[05:53:34] Okay?
[05:53:35] He has possibly irritable bowel syndrome or a lot of bouts with explosive diarrhea.
[05:53:40] This is what he's told us and we're very glad that he was able to explain this to us
[05:53:46] We were very glad that he gave us his his personal insight into dookie into diarrhea and
[05:53:53] and
[05:53:54] Now is that good enough detail and now we're gonna move on to irrelevant things
[05:54:01] All the dice because it's not like you eat it and immediately have this happen it sits for like
[05:54:07] I read up to like two weeks in some cases before you start to just have your ass fall out
[05:54:12] Like you have your whole butthole blown out
[05:54:14] So it's not it's not really worth me taking the risk especially that compounding it if I'm like eating
[05:54:19] Fresh fruit every day and just getting more cyclospora in there
[05:54:24] Like all the micro plastics in my balls being replaced by cyclospora parasites like it just doesn't feel worth it
[05:54:30] So I'm probably just gonna pump the brakes on fresh fruits for breakfast for now
[05:54:34] Now, not that you have to do that, aren't you, dad?
[05:54:36] You can make your own decisions there.
[05:54:37] But since I saw the update here, Florida does have some cyclospora here at the cyclospora
[05:54:44] E3.
[05:54:45] Again, one of the problems here is that Doge-Cut FDA employees.
[05:54:52] The administration is the most pro-business administration.
[05:54:55] Pro-business means anti-regulation.
[05:54:57] Part of those regulations are identifying where the agricultural output is responsible
[05:55:03] for a fucking outbreak.
[05:55:05] On the other side, RFK is in charge of the health department.
[05:55:09] And therefore, we don't have the sufficient number
[05:55:11] of epidemiologists to adequately track the number of people
[05:55:15] or how this is fucking spreading or how to solve it.
[05:55:19] Like how to solve the illness
[05:55:21] when people do contract this disease.
[05:55:28] That is where we're at.
[05:55:29] The Diary of Paris, I remind you how Biden Harris
[05:55:31] could have reinstated the health regulation
[05:55:32] Trump 1.0 kill but chose to expand his cuts to food testing and let a dairy lobbyist run the USDA
[05:55:37] instead poisoning us to increase corporate profits of bipartisan issue except you know
[05:55:42] Trump made it even worse than the Biden administration let's be real um it's it's
[05:55:47] so much worse now like it's it's far worse so not only do we not only can we not figure out
[05:55:59] what is responsible for it. We have assumptions on like which products are
[05:56:03] potentially responsible for it, but we cannot identify where the disease is coming from,
[05:56:08] where the parasite is coming from, because the FDA's gutted. But we also don't have an adequate
[05:56:16] health response, because we're burning the candle on both ends, okay?
[05:56:21] We are not ready to deal with this. It's explosive diarrhea today, which can also cause dehydration and could potentially lead to death as well.
[05:56:34] But, God forbid, if it was worse than this, we'd be fucking dead, okay? Everyone would die.
[05:56:42] Conference, they did unveil that it has come to Florida.
[05:56:45] Imagine another COVID. It's over. It's done.
[05:56:47] Yeehaw. So I am just going to play it safe there.
[05:56:50] And you may have noticed that when talking about this, the reporter, as well as anywhere
[05:56:56] else you read, there is a lot of uncertainty and a lot of guesswork.
[05:57:00] Apparently it's been very difficult to track and monitor and get all of this information
[05:57:04] around the cyclospora, which is so weird.
[05:57:07] I wonder what's causing that.
[05:57:08] There's some far-fetched crackpot theories, like some of the cuts to these agencies making
[05:57:14] this more difficult, you know, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. making a number of budget and
[05:57:19] staff cuts.
[05:57:20] respected Charlie for also pointing this out. Never mind. I should have actually fucked that
[05:57:25] earlier chatter. I shouldn't have even offered context because Charlie was going to do it anyway.
[05:57:31] I should have just said, yeah, based. That says part of the old Elon Musk Doge initiative,
[05:57:38] which was a colossal fucking flop, by the way. The federal government reduced the capacity
[05:57:42] of its foodborne disease active surveillance network, FoodNet, which tracks several pathogens,
[05:57:47] including Cyclospora, you know, the protagonist of this outbreak, by the way, Salmonella
[05:57:52] and Listeria, Foodnet scaled back monitoring for all but two pathogens last year, which
[05:57:58] are all Americans have been asking for that.
[05:58:01] Charlie, hey, Trump, bro.
[05:58:02] I know, but he's not just keeping the fucking diarrhea puns.
[05:58:06] He's also literally talking about how the Trump administration is directly responsible.
[05:58:11] He's not just saying, oh, Trump is responsible either.
[05:58:13] like actually actively talking about how the Trump admin is dismantled certain agencies.
[05:58:19] We all collectively said, we want to ensure that we are not monitoring these things.
[05:58:23] We don't want to know.
[05:58:24] Let's get that shit off the books, let's save money there, so we're not paying attention
[05:58:29] to this kind of stuff.
[05:58:31] Funding is not kept pace with resources required for the program.
[05:58:34] The CDC wrote in a memo to the state of Connecticut, according to NBC.
[05:58:37] I arrived with the last FDA commissioner to Trump appointed Dr. Marty McAree was fired
[05:58:41] rfk and trump dismay because he was fucking up drug reviews so much he's
[05:58:44] been replaced with a temporary acting commissioner kyle diamantes a former
[05:58:47] lawyer and trumps chosen head of dsa's human foods program he's supposed to
[05:58:51] calm shit down ahead of the midterms and yet news robert fkj jr is a simple man
[05:58:56] he sees road kill he cuts its penis off when it comes to monitoring foodborne
[05:59:01] diseases he does one of these it's not good useless but don't worry now this
[05:59:07] This is clearly blowing up, I'm sure RFK Jr. will do all he can to fight it himself.
[05:59:12] RFK Jr. will square off directly with Cyclospora parasites, him and his brainworm, in a tag
[05:59:17] team matchup in the Thunderdome, and he'll probably post an AI video on Twitter of him
[05:59:22] boxing Cyclospora to get it off of our fruits and vegetables.
[05:59:26] That's right, Brianna.
[05:59:27] We're seeing more and more cases emerge.
[05:59:29] And what we know about the people who've gotten sick, some of them have been hospitalized.
[05:59:35] When you look at Michigan alone, where there are now more than 2,600 cases that have been
[05:59:40] reported, 44 of them have been hospitalized.
[05:59:44] And when you look across the country, there have been dozens more hospitalizations as
[05:59:49] well.
[05:59:50] In total, Brianna, 31 states across the country have reported cases.
[05:59:54] Now, I'm sure you can downplay the significance of this.
[05:59:58] Oh, it's only a few thousand people and, you know, a handful of hospitalizations.
[06:00:03] Like there's no deaths reported on it as of right now that I'm aware of.
[06:00:08] But why is that okay?
[06:00:11] Like it's still like a super annoying thing.
[06:00:14] And I'm sure there's tons of cases that aren't reported where people just think they got
[06:00:17] diarrhea.
[06:00:18] They just got the runny shits from something bad that they ate, like a bad piece of shrimp
[06:00:22] or something.
[06:00:23] Like I'm sure there's tons of other people that just haven't reported this because they
[06:00:26] didn't get it to like a severe level to the point where they're concerned or hospitalized.
[06:00:31] So what the real number is, who really knows, but this is like the official ones that we
[06:00:36] have at the moment, and it's enough for me to just be like, eh, I'll just avoid fruits
[06:00:40] and vegetables for now.
[06:00:42] And there is nothing more synonymous with diarrhea than Taco Bell.
[06:00:46] So Taco Bell kind of being the poster child for diarrhea has been in the spotlight a lot
[06:00:51] here because apparently they have even been linked to the cyclospora outbreak as well,
[06:00:55] at least in some loose capacity.
[06:00:57] So there's been some attention being turned towards them.
[06:01:00] in the Detroit area Taco Bell restaurants posted signs that they were currently unable
[06:01:05] to sell lettuce, cilantro onion, pico de gallo and guacamole due to a nationwide recall.
[06:01:11] These are just the bullet points here over like breaking no contact to my to text my
[06:01:16] vegan ex and warn her about exploding diarrhea or let her fucking dookie out of her butt.
[06:01:23] Why Taco Bell is being looked at and since there's been no specific produce grower or
[06:01:28] supplier that's been identified as the source here. Okay, T minus 10 days before RFK Junior comes
[06:01:35] out and says it's actually good to have explosive diarrhea because a lot of Americans are chronically
[06:01:42] obese and overweight and diarrhea in many cultures can be seen as a way to let the toxins out of your
[06:01:51] system. Famously, this is a detox for free, not saying that this is the best way to do
[06:02:03] it. But it's like nature's ozambeck. The worm demands you cleanse your body, mind,
[06:02:13] and soul. You can't go untreated for cyclosporiasis. You need Bactrim. Bactrim is not the viable
[06:02:31] solution. Ivermectin is.
[06:02:42] Your impression fooled my roommate in the other room. Shut the fuck up. No one actually
[06:02:46] thinks that. Okay. All right, well, what gives here in Taco Bell hasn't elaborated on the
[06:02:53] signs. They think that their produce may be connected. And since so many people have been
[06:02:58] sick in Michigan. That's one of the places that's been hit the hardest and the hospitalizations.
[06:03:04] They believe that it could be linked to lettuce there. So right now they're just being investigated
[06:03:11] and they're not even being targeted. If only there was a doctor who happens to be an epidemiologist
[06:03:16] who happens to be running for a fucking Senate who happens to be in the state of Michigan.
[06:03:21] Oh my God, who? Who could be a great legislator in these trying fucking times? That's right.
[06:03:32] His name is Abdul-El-Sayed, and that's Dr. Abdul-Rahman Muhammad El-Sayed to you, bitch.
[06:03:42] Is that as like the sole reason and the sole source for where the Cyclospora outbreak is
[06:03:48] coming from, but it's one that they've got their finger on the pulse of to take a closer peak at.
[06:03:55] I would imagine that maybe Taco Bell did have some compromised produce there, but I don't think
[06:04:00] that's where it's all stemming from. It's clearly on a much larger scale, nor do I think it's all
[06:04:06] just from Taco Bell produce and suppliers, the ones connected to Taco Bell. I imagine,
[06:04:11] just given the scope of this, it's probably compromised in a lot of places that probably
[06:04:16] art connected to Taco Bell's supply line.
[06:04:19] It's because once someone becomes infected, it can take anywhere from two days to two
[06:04:25] weeks for symptoms to emerge.
[06:04:27] So health officials, especially those in Michigan, are really scrambling to identify
[06:04:33] the source of these cases and the symptoms that...
[06:04:37] Alright, bro, I'm not touching fucking produce when I go to Michigan.
[06:04:42] I'm not touching produce.
[06:04:44] I know there's cases in California too, and I literally just had some lettuce.
[06:04:49] I hope that I'm not duking out of my butt hole.
[06:04:54] This is terrifying.
[06:04:57] Center for American Poopoo.
[06:05:01] Cyclospora infections, which is called cyclosporiasis.
[06:05:05] The symptoms of this illness include watery diarrhea.
[06:05:09] In some cases, it's described as explosive diarrhea, Brianna, as well as loss of appetite,
[06:05:15] cramping, bloating, nausea, fatigue.
[06:05:17] That is something very notable about this.
[06:05:20] It's not just diarrhea.
[06:05:21] It is only being reported from the actual health experts here, like the officials.
[06:05:28] It is being reported as explosive diarrhea.
[06:05:32] And like I said, I'm well versed.
[06:05:35] This is a foe I've fought many times, that old diarrhea menace.
[06:05:39] I feel like I can only count on one hand the amount of times I've had an experience that
[06:05:45] I would consider explosive, like dynamite stuck in my anus.
[06:05:52] It must be remarkably uncomfortable.
[06:05:55] Okay, so talk to us about washing fruits and vegetables because the pictures that we're
[06:05:59] looking at here, I think, is how a lot of people do it.
[06:06:02] They run their fruit or vegetable underneath a stream of water.
[06:06:07] Maybe they're trying to make sure they clean the surface of it.
[06:06:09] I mean, is that enough?
[06:06:10] Is there a soak?
[06:06:11] Do they need to use some kind of additive in the water?
[06:06:15] What can we do?
[06:06:17] Yeah.
[06:06:18] So water is better than nothing, but to really be more effective with cleaning your fruits
[06:06:24] and vegetables, you can add a little bit of vinegar to create a vinegar rinse.
[06:06:29] So what you want to do makes one part vinegar with three parts water in a large bowl.
[06:06:35] This was another big thing about the cyclo spora here is that washing the fruits and
[06:06:40] vegetables does little to actually get rid of them for the most part.
[06:06:45] Like it can help from what I've read, but it doesn't like make them safe if the cyclo
[06:06:50] spora was there.
[06:06:51] It doesn't, you know, fucking banish them the shadow rum or anything.
[06:06:54] So now she's giving like some tips and tricks here about doing like a vinegar rinse, which
[06:06:58] I've seen reported elsewhere as well that supposedly helps, too, but again, for me,
[06:07:04] I probably just won't even bother. I would end up, since I'm fucking hypochondriac,
[06:07:09] I would end up just scrubbing the fruits and vegetables till it's just nothing, just mush,
[06:07:15] worthless and wouldn't even eat it. So I'm probably not going to do that, but if you're
[06:07:19] someone that does want to try it, it looks like you can take matters into your own hands with
[06:07:24] like a vinegar rinse to help?
[06:07:26] Well, it can be quite serious and then it can cause severe dehydration if it's not treated
[06:07:34] in terms of maintaining your
[06:07:36] I read a story about it of a woman who's had diarrhea for three weeks straight can't get
[06:07:40] off the toilet bed.
[06:07:42] Bro, at that point you just have to put a diaper on and get to the fucking hospital, right?
[06:07:48] Like what do you mean?
[06:07:50] At that point, you just take the L, you're just sitting around a diaper.
[06:07:54] Your hydration.
[06:07:56] Luckily, an antibiotic that we know...
[06:08:01] This is vegan side, dude.
[06:08:02] Holy fuck.
[06:08:03] This factrum or septra does have some positive impact, so it is partially treatable.
[06:08:10] So if you do get cyclosporiasis, it's not like, you know, you're...
[06:08:15] I shit out of luck or anything like that.
[06:08:18] There are treatments available.
[06:08:20] big thing is the dehydration from some of the hospitalization reports that I was looking
[06:08:24] into that seemed to be like the main culprit that the concern was from was like dehydration
[06:08:29] because you lose so much doing that. So just
[06:08:32] If you have diarrhea from the parasite, do not worry and hang in there. We are going
[06:08:38] to send money to Israel. Oh, thank God. Thank God. I was really fucking worried that they
[06:08:47] we're going to spend any dollars on this shit. Okay. For a moment, I was worried about the
[06:08:53] anti-Semitism angle. Yeah. CDC's food net is no longer tracking the following foodborne pathogens.
[06:09:00] Camp P low-bacter cyclospora list area, often the culprit in raw milk related outbreaks,
[06:09:05] which are becoming more common. Shigella, Vibrio, Yersinia.
[06:09:17] Can't be low back, they're almost killed northern line, what the fuck?
[06:09:34] It's just kinda wild that they, they so clearly, like they did this and everyone was like don't
[06:09:41] do this, this is a bad idea.
[06:09:44] they did it anyway. And now we have to just live through the repercussions. Like, look,
[06:09:50] this time it's explosive diarrhea, which, you know, people make jokes about and stuff.
[06:09:56] But wait, what? Helen can compare Torrey, the widow of Corey compare Torrey, who was
[06:10:05] killed during the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump in Budapest. Now
[06:10:08] Now a legis the attack was an inside job. Oh my God, dude, dude, dude, I have one of the
[06:10:18] fake assassinations. I have the commemorative coin of the fake assassination that was a real
[06:10:24] assassination for Corey, unfortunately, but fake for the president. Fuck spilled everywhere.
[06:10:40] He's losing the hogs. He's losing the ancient recipes are escaping him.
[06:10:53] sure to rehydrate and treat that is the big one.
[06:10:59] But yeah, it's just one of those things where it's not killing people, you know, piling
[06:11:05] up corpses in the street or anything like that, but it is still something to at least
[06:11:09] take seriously and be mindful of.
[06:11:10] I don't think anyone wants to just be having explosive diarrhea if you can avoid it.
[06:11:18] So I just wanted to yapp about it a little bit.
[06:11:20] I found it to be fascinating and anyway, it's really about it.
[06:11:24] So, yeah.
[06:11:25] Yeah.
[06:11:26] Me, I'm going to eat healthy lettuce.
[06:11:29] I'm going to give you explosive diarrhea.
[06:11:31] Oreos in the pantry.
[06:11:32] I would never do that to you.
[06:11:34] It's true.
[06:11:37] Oreos will never make you pee pee out of your butt.
[06:11:41] Unlike lettuce.
[06:11:45] There are over 3,309 cases of cyclosporiasis in Michigan.
[06:11:49] Keep you and your family safe.
[06:11:50] Wash all produce, cook produce instead of eating raw vegetables or fruit, seek medical
[06:11:54] care if you experience severe diarrhea, nausea and fatigue.
[06:12:02] In Capitalism America, Taco Bell is our CDC and Waffle House is our weather alert system.
[06:12:09] Strip clubs are the fed, great early predictors of recessions.
[06:12:12] Oh my god, it's also true.
[06:12:15] He said it in a video interview on NewsNation.
[06:12:23] He's self-remeant shrouded in mystery.
[06:12:25] Authorities still haven't publicly identified a motive for his attempt to assassination
[06:12:29] of President Trump.
[06:12:30] He expressed belief that the gunman Thomas Crooks didn't act alone.
[06:12:35] I don't believe there was another shader there, but I believe that he was working with somebody.
[06:12:44] I believe it was inside, it was an inside job,
[06:12:48] inside the government, somewhere.
[06:12:52] And this was-
[06:12:53] Appreciate, Queen.
[06:13:00] In this house, we honor the legacy of Corey Contemporary.
[06:13:03] The political-
[06:13:04] Oh, yeah.
[06:13:05] Political, yeah.
[06:13:05] Absolutely.
[06:13:07] Yep.
[06:13:09] Yep.
[06:13:09] Have you seen evidence to that?
[06:13:12] Oh, I've been told things,
[06:13:13] but I've had something that happened with me
[06:13:18] that just afterwards,
[06:13:22] and you're starting to put the pieces together,
[06:13:24] it just made total sense.
[06:13:27] What will help give you closure?
[06:13:33] When the people who put this all together that day are pot,
[06:13:43] And it comes out.
[06:13:47] So if you had a message for President Trump, what would it be?
[06:13:55] Just to don't forget us and remember what we went through that day, you know.
[06:14:09] We're still here and we need answers.
[06:14:14] Helen Comparator says it was a year before the Secret Service actually reached out to
[06:14:18] her.
[06:14:19] The questions that she did ask, she says they didn't answer them fully and she's now pleading
[06:14:25] out to reaching out to President Trump.
[06:14:27] Yeah, good luck.
[06:14:29] Okay.
[06:14:30] Yeah, like he gives a fuck.
[06:14:31] Come on now.
[06:14:33] Come on now.
[06:14:34] He don't give a shit.
[06:14:35] All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's get to it.
[06:14:38] who really watches Hassan Piker.
[06:14:47] Stephen Hazard went around the internet
[06:14:51] and decided to talk to a bunch of Asmongold supporters
[06:14:54] to try to get a better understanding
[06:14:55] of who watches Asmongold.
[06:14:57] That was his previous video.
[06:14:58] We watched it and during the video,
[06:15:00] I said it'd be cool if he did this with my fan base.
[06:15:03] And so he decided to do it with my fan base.
[06:15:06] and it turns out 300 of you fucking losers responded to him.
[06:15:12] 300.
[06:15:14] Y'all need lives, motherfucker.
[06:15:17] Oh my God.
[06:15:20] Oh my God. Oh my Lord.
[06:15:24] He's been called a terrorist.
[06:15:25] And the new face of the left, I keep doing my best to make this guy the face of the left,
[06:15:29] because, you know, he's a terrorist.
[06:15:30] A champagne socialist.
[06:15:31] Hilarity surrounding champagne socialist, Hasan.
[06:15:35] A dog shocker.
[06:15:36] Mr. Dog Shocker is wondering.
[06:15:37] A hero and an enemy of democracy.
[06:15:39] It doesn't matter where you turk.
[06:15:41] Everybody has their own thoughts on him.
[06:15:42] On some sides of the internet, he's a hero.
[06:15:45] A progressive ideologue and a champion of diversity
[06:15:49] who helps progressive candidates like Zoran Mamdani,
[06:15:52] who works right over there, get elected.
[06:15:55] To me, I see him as like a good guiding light
[06:15:57] of progressivism and like trying to get better candidates
[06:16:02] rather than just your typical establishment, Democrats.
[06:16:06] But to others, he represents the downfall of America,
[06:16:09] an anti-Zionist chauvinist who would rather show off rather than help people.
[06:16:13] If you spend some time with Hassan that like,
[06:16:15] yeah, he has those, like, edges to him, but he really means what he says.
[06:16:18] But who really is Hassan Piker?
[06:16:21] I've been a digital culture journalist for the past decade,
[06:16:23] and other than an interview that I did with him a few years ago and some articles over the years,
[06:16:28] I never really watched his content.
[06:16:30] I really only understood him through the context of these clips.
[06:16:33] You support terrorism, question mark?
[06:16:35] No, I don't.
[06:16:36] I don't support the state of Israel, and I don't support the state of the United States
[06:16:39] of America.
[06:16:40] So I decided to reach out to the people who know him the most, his fans, the viewers who
[06:16:45] spend dozens of hours a week watching him on Twitch talk about politics, culture, and
[06:16:50] the news.
[06:16:51] What I learned is Hassan Piker is a complicated individual who can't really be captured in
[06:16:56] those viral moments and clips.
[06:16:58] Hassan can be a bit brash.
[06:17:00] His bravado can kind of get in the way of his message.
[06:17:03] And boy, can that message be difficult for a moderate
[06:17:06] or someone that disagrees with Hassan.
[06:17:08] But at the end of the day, people tend to love him.
[06:17:10] So welcome to my channel.
[06:17:12] This is Stephen A. Sarge Talks.
[06:17:13] I trust Stephen to not fall for shit like that.
[06:17:17] When I released my Asma Gold video,
[06:17:19] which you should totally watch,
[06:17:20] Hassan watched it and shared his thoughts on the subject.
[06:17:23] Which creators fans should I look into next?
[06:17:25] Like, I feel like if he did something like this
[06:17:27] my community, I suspect that the outcome will be very different. And I know that because journalists
[06:17:33] have profiled my fans. So I decided, sure, that would be a great idea to figure out what his fans
[06:17:38] think about Hassan. I posted a tweet, and Hassan posted that tweet on his stream. If you speak to
[06:17:44] his, oh yes, Steven Azark, who did the Asmongold video, he saw my response to it. He was on Honeymoon,
[06:17:51] Lex, by the way. He said, while I was on Honeymoon, Hassan and Hun reacted to my Asmongold video,
[06:17:54] and theorized that if I spoke to his fans, the outcome would be very different. Well,
[06:17:57] While I'm working on my reaction, I wanted to reach out to Hassan Pekka fans and ask,
[06:18:00] why do you like Hassan?
[06:18:01] How many hours a week do you spend watching him?
[06:18:02] What do you think people misunderstand about him?
[06:18:04] So I got a flood of information.
[06:18:07] So over 300 people responded to me on Twitter, email, Discord, and someone even found my
[06:18:12] Reddit from those 300.
[06:18:13] 300, bro.
[06:18:15] 300, I interviewed 15.
[06:18:18] And some of their stories were fascinating.
[06:18:20] Adria is a mom who wants to fight back against the defamation Hassan receives, posting live
[06:18:25] clips taken directly from his live streams.
[06:18:42] Then is a former Mormon and H3 fan, so he's escaped two cults, he's the only liberal
[06:18:47] in his western mountain community,
[06:18:48] and is absolutely willing to push back on his neighbors.
[06:18:52] I grew up very Mormon, come from a very Mormon household.
[06:18:56] I was raised very strict, where I think that also...
[06:19:00] We, remember we met the evangelical Christian as well
[06:19:03] in Denver.
[06:19:07] People more motivated to talk to this guy about you
[06:19:10] than the phone bank for candidates.
[06:19:11] What are you talking about?
[06:19:12] We've had literally thousands of members of the community
[06:19:16] do hundreds of thousands of phone calls.
[06:19:20] That's crazy.
[06:19:21] Made me want to, you know, go the opposite way.
[06:19:25] And so when I was supposed to go on a mission,
[06:19:29] it's kind of when I just figured out like, you know,
[06:19:31] I don't know if I believe so much in the Mormon church
[06:19:35] anymore and don't want to go on a mission.
[06:19:38] And, you know, I became kind of a black sheep,
[06:19:43] if you will.
[06:19:44] He all grew up in Israel and served in the IDF, where he listened in on Hezbollah communications.
[06:19:49] But after spending some time traveling the world and becoming more radically left, he
[06:19:53] denounced his former country.
[06:19:55] I don't think people are bad or good.
[06:19:56] I think everyone's a little selfish and people can do bad things or victims.
[06:20:01] I think if you serve in the IDF, you're doing a bad thing.
[06:20:04] I think if you grow out of it and you look back, when I was a kid, I didn't have the
[06:20:08] political like knowledge and understanding right but you really view that in that way
[06:20:16] and I want to be grateful to he is not the only one okay he's not bro I'm telling you there's
[06:20:25] hella israeli alzhanabi heads that are anti zionist but what myself Eric grew up with rush limbaugh
[06:20:32] on his ear and started going down see this is what man listen you call that guy a loser
[06:20:40] by the way what do you mean did I know I don't think so but anyway maybe but listen listen
[06:20:46] listen this is why I do what I do this is why I won't just immediately be like oh if
[06:20:54] someone's a veteran they've eating they're eating babies if someone's even in the IDF
[06:20:59] or someone was in the idea of I'm not gonna immediately be like fuck you like you know what I mean it's about
[06:21:05] Where people are in their life in their journey is about their output also. I've called everybody a loser at some point, so
[06:21:13] And the gamer right wing rabbit hole that managed to pull himself out before he was too far gone
[06:21:18] What really hit it for me is I was watching
[06:21:21] The song and then like clips of as we go that point
[06:21:25] And I started seeing things kind of go on a turn for the worst with the Amber Heard
[06:21:32] and Johnny Depp trial, like it just turned into a giant content machine.
[06:21:37] While I was watching Hassan more and more, and especially like caring about that kind
[06:21:43] of thing and the politics that under underlined with Hassan's content, I was like, what has
[06:21:51] been doing?
[06:21:52] like the alters accused you of sheepdogging and I think they're right.
[06:21:55] You sheepdog right wingers into leftism already leftist people should start
[06:21:58] seeing the value in that they will never admit that.
[06:22:03] It feels like it felt there's a huge disconnect there.
[06:22:07] And then it became more and obvious that it was just in my opinion, a grift.
[06:22:12] Anna is an immigration lawyer who has seen firsthand what ICE and this
[06:22:16] administration's immigration policy is doing to those seeking refuge.
[06:22:20] Bro, oh my god, the profile of the Hassanabi heads already like job havers
[06:22:27] Members active in their own community people who have definitely gone outside as
[06:22:31] Opposed to like the Asmongole video was literally people should be like
[06:22:37] Take a lot of the chatters in the community that have long-term communities
[06:22:40] And I had one chatter message me the other day and he was just like oh everything sucks, you know, nobody's doing anything
[06:22:46] anything. And you know, I
[06:22:49] him that we have to have
[06:22:51] and for myself to keep m
[06:22:56] to be delusional and have
[06:22:59] are going to get better b
[06:23:01] you know, immigration. K
[06:23:05] you know, we could have l
[06:23:08] about how cruel this admin
[06:23:11] I wanted to make sure I w
[06:23:13] Hassan's traditional aud
[06:23:16] A lot of them are workers that like have full-time jobs, that's like they're an older demographic.
[06:23:23] A lot of them just watch for news.
[06:23:25] Hassan's audience is mainly white, male, millennial, and makes between 50 to 100k.
[06:23:31] What I found is that the average Hassan viewer either watches him live on his stream.
[06:23:35] I try to watch Hassan live, but I work, I stream, you know, he does this eight hours a day,
[06:23:41] I prefer watching his YouTube.
[06:23:43] or spends their time watching his vods on YouTube.
[06:23:46] Some are democratic socialists.
[06:23:49] You know, being a democratic socialist,
[06:23:51] that's what I like to call myself.
[06:23:52] There aren't a lot of communities
[06:23:54] where you feel like you really can belong
[06:23:57] and your opinion, you know,
[06:24:00] that people share the same opinion as you.
[06:24:02] And a lot of them just used Hassan
[06:24:04] to replace the traditional media coverage
[06:24:06] they were already watching.
[06:24:08] I used to love mainstream media.
[06:24:10] Like, no, until I realized how fucked up,
[06:24:12] like in how like skewed everything was.
[06:24:15] Unlike a lot of influencers who tend to spread
[06:24:17] deumerism when it comes to their content,
[06:24:19] Hasan is more upbeat, he's more hopeful,
[06:24:22] and his viewers reflect that.
[06:24:24] It's not a thing of, hey, socialism was one,
[06:24:26] no money and no phone or no anything really,
[06:24:30] no consumerism.
[06:24:31] If this is the system that we live in,
[06:24:32] then we have to play the part
[06:24:34] and slowly hope that we can change it for the better.
[06:24:37] But I also wanted weirdos.
[06:24:38] And this guy says, if you speak to Hasan fans,
[06:24:41] You will be speaking to absolute lunatics who will threaten to rape and kill you over a minor difference of opinion.
[06:24:46] That's the difference between the two audiences.
[06:24:48] Nobody has threatened me with any of those yet.
[06:24:50] I desperately wanted to get people who weren't the most normal human beings.
[06:24:55] I wanted those that were outlandish.
[06:24:57] People that could kind of match the energy of my asma gold people.
[06:25:00] But I just couldn't find any.
[06:25:02] I looked through hundreds of messages.
[06:25:03] And they were all fairly normal people with jobs and hobbies and lives.
[06:25:08] but mostly they were just regular folk.
[06:25:11] I don't think that we're as toxic
[06:25:14] as many people may claim we are.
[06:25:17] Really?
[06:25:18] Yeah, no shit.
[06:25:21] That's why when I go outside,
[06:25:24] the people that fucking approach me are also outside
[06:25:28] and relatively normal.
[06:25:30] It is an unbelievably unique situation
[06:25:33] that we have an extremely online community
[06:25:36] in an extremely online part of the fucking internet,
[06:25:39] in an extremely, extremely online universe and culture.
[06:25:44] And most of the people that just like dip their toes in
[06:25:48] are relatively normal people.
[06:25:54] We just want to give people healthcare.
[06:25:57] We also would like healthcare
[06:25:59] and ensuring that material needs can be met
[06:26:01] without breaking people's wallets
[06:26:03] and making sure that everyone has roof over their heads.
[06:26:07] And I've actually come up with a list
[06:26:08] of reasons why people like Hassan.
[06:26:10] First off, he's hot.
[06:26:12] Hot.
[06:26:13] He's hot.
[06:26:14] He's very hot.
[06:26:15] Everyone I interviewed mentioned Hassan was hot
[06:26:18] and attractive.
[06:26:19] Hassan is young, attractive.
[06:26:21] People always make jokes saying like they,
[06:26:24] will people be drawn in by his looks
[06:26:26] and then they'll stay for his takes.
[06:26:29] He's smart.
[06:26:30] He's intelligent.
[06:26:32] He's well-spoken, he's attractive.
[06:26:36] Some of my wife likes him because he's attractive.
[06:26:38] They also agreed with a lot of the things he says.
[06:26:41] If he aligns with me on a lot of different things,
[06:26:43] but he does have a lot of influence
[06:26:44] and his word does carry a lot of weight with me.
[06:26:46] And you know, when it comes to politics,
[06:26:47] we agree with 99% of everything, you know.
[06:26:49] He's also accessible.
[06:26:51] People can just write chat messages
[06:26:52] and get directly to him.
[06:26:54] You can't do that with Rachel Maddow.
[06:26:56] I think that's number one is accessibility.
[06:26:58] You can pop out on a stream.
[06:27:00] I have my mom has you as her wallpaper. That's crazy
[06:27:08] That's crazy
[06:27:10] Just stream up right now, you know, you can type in chat and maybe get a response
[06:27:16] He's also consistently live every single day. It doesn't matter where you are
[06:27:21] You can tune in and watch it and if you don't catch him live
[06:27:23] There's still hundreds of hours of odds that you can do to kind of get what he's saying
[06:27:28] I've always been on Twitch but never watching political streams.
[06:27:32] I started watching him and it just became like a daily try to watch him and then it became
[06:27:37] a, you know, I'm going to watch his VODs at like, you know, twice the speed.
[06:27:42] I try to watch all of the VODs, especially while I'm working.
[06:27:47] So in order to know Hasan, we kind of have to start at the beginning.
[06:27:50] Hasan was born in 1991 in New Jersey, but went back to Turkey when he was very young
[06:27:56] to live a more affluent lifestyle with his parents.
[06:28:00] You've seen the horse picture
[06:28:01] that my last Asma Gold viewer absolutely loved.
[06:28:05] The first thing that really got me hooked
[06:28:07] with watching more of him is he was born in Jersey,
[06:28:10] but he grew up in Turkey.
[06:28:13] I think for me, I'm someone who loves to understand others.
[06:28:19] When he was in college,
[06:28:20] he said that his family started to lose their wealth.
[06:28:23] I said I was broke because my parents, my dad,
[06:28:27] went broke by the time I got to college.
[06:28:30] And went back to New Jersey to attend college,
[06:28:33] where he went to Rutgers and got a degree
[06:28:35] in political science and communications.
[06:28:37] While in his last year of college,
[06:28:40] he managed to get the Neppo baby boost,
[06:28:42] sorry pirate software,
[06:28:43] and got a job working at his uncle,
[06:28:45] Cenk's internet political show, The Young Turks.
[06:28:48] There, he sort of floundered around for a bit
[06:28:51] coming up with his identity.
[06:28:53] There are a bunch of clips from that era of him being a super bro
[06:28:56] that have not aged well in the slightest, and he has mostly denounced.
[06:29:01] Those were satire, and that literally was like 10 years ago.
[06:29:05] But are still used by people online to paint him as, you know,
[06:29:09] the alpha bro Chad that they want him to be.
[06:29:11] That shit is not even archived.
[06:29:12] That shit was like deleted.
[06:29:14] And some fucking Nazis found it like a while ago to try and cancel me.
[06:29:18] He manages to nail down a format that works for him
[06:29:21] and starts posting on Facebook under the breakdown.
[06:29:24] I was a member of TNT because I didn't watch it live.
[06:29:26] I would go back and watch the vlog.
[06:29:27] And Hassan, he showed up, but he showed up
[06:29:31] and as a presenter sometimes, I didn't like him then.
[06:29:36] It kind of started clicking whenever the breakdown
[06:29:39] began to come out.
[06:29:41] That's when I was like, oh, I like what this guy's saying.
[06:29:43] It's very provocative.
[06:29:44] There, he creates the prototype for the content
[06:29:47] that we all kind of know today.
[06:29:48] He's brash, he's politically centered,
[06:29:51] and he's conventionally attractive.
[06:29:53] I'm just gonna do a year in review
[06:29:54] of my new favorite woke prince Ben Shapiro's year in review.
[06:29:58] The people who started watching him
[06:30:00] the earliest that I spoke to
[06:30:01] were watching him during this young Turks era.
[06:30:03] I first came across a son on Facebook of all places.
[06:30:07] I just remember his videos popping up on my feed
[06:30:11] where he was doing the breakdown on TYT.
[06:30:16] And so he was touching on a lot of issues,
[06:30:19] obviously the police brutality,
[06:30:21] there was a lot of stuff around Israel, Palestine
[06:30:24] that at that point in time, no one was really talking about.
[06:30:27] So the views just start pouring in.
[06:30:29] But on Facebook, you kind of hit a wall pretty easily
[06:30:32] because the audience is just boomers
[06:30:35] and my wife for some reason.
[06:30:37] The only person I know outside the Saasan community
[06:30:40] that watches Saasan is my mom.
[06:30:42] But my mom, because she follows him on Facebook.
[06:30:45] So she thought that she think that Hassan is a Facebook influencer
[06:30:48] and she only watches Hassan's things on Facebook.
[06:30:50] My videos make it to Facebook?
[06:30:52] What the hell? I mean, awesome.
[06:30:53] So in 2018, he decides to make the move over from Facebook to Twitch
[06:30:57] to find a younger audience according to an interview he did with Kotaku.
[06:31:01] But I was working at Twitch on the partnerships team.
[06:31:03] Hassan had joined the platform pretty sort of like, you know, recently after his departure from TYT
[06:31:11] or however that had happened, that I remember talking to somebody.
[06:31:16] No, I joined while I was at the Young Turks, but then I went full time in 2020
[06:31:22] on the platform.
[06:31:23] He who was managing that perfect relationship between the creator and our
[06:31:28] partner manager and being like, yeah, you should really like help them figure
[06:31:33] this out, help this person figure this out.
[06:31:35] Because I think this could be really big.
[06:31:38] like clearly there's like a path forward
[06:31:40] for somebody not just doing games coverage.
[06:31:44] Before Hassan showed up,
[06:31:45] Twitch was an entirely different platform.
[06:31:47] IRL had just been introduced a couple years earlier,
[06:31:50] but it was still mainly about the gaming.
[06:31:52] Newers claimed that they bled purple.
[06:31:54] They would talk in Twitch emotes like Kappa and Poggers,
[06:31:57] and they would one day dream of reaching partner
[06:32:00] and getting that exclusive Twitch purple hoodie
[06:32:03] that I'm not sure they even make anymore.
[06:32:05] He really pioneered this idea of covering the news.
[06:32:11] He started with trying to cover politics
[06:32:15] through gaming, Fortnite and all of those things.
[06:32:18] And it was like trying to make,
[06:32:20] that's what everyone was doing at the time,
[06:32:21] which was like, how do we get to Twitch
[06:32:22] and how do we activate gamers and do this?
[06:32:25] Obviously, I don't believe it was that cynical
[06:32:27] from his perspective.
[06:32:28] And his content is pretty much what he does now,
[06:32:32] except he used to play video games.
[06:32:34] He talks about politics, culture,
[06:32:36] Here we go, here we go.
[06:32:38] Here we fucking go, this is gonna light up everyone in the chat.
[06:32:44] Oh no, yes, yes, I used to play video games.
[06:32:48] Sassip, whatever he can kind of do to fill the eight hour gap he needs to speak during the day.
[06:32:53] He's done a lot of things that I think are challenging the assumptions of like what a twitch archetype is,
[06:32:59] pushing those boundaries, bring in, this is more recently, but like bringing in
[06:33:03] again, other lines of culture, other spaces, obviously.
[06:33:07] You know, it's actually kind of crazy that I'm so used to just doing this all the fucking time,
[06:33:12] but low key, from an industry perspective, if you're like an industry guy, if you're like a
[06:33:18] live streaming industry person, we have done a lot of very unique things. Obviously, a lot of
[06:33:23] people have done fundraisers and stuff, but like the candidate interviews, the IRLs with
[06:33:30] the candidates, like these are the types of things that I don't think anyone had ever even
[06:33:35] considered doing on Twitch. That's number one. Or even on a live streaming platform,
[06:33:39] going to the fucking DNC and broadcasting, all of that, going to riots, going to protests,
[06:33:46] broadcasting, all of that, live streaming from a foreign country like Cuba that is under a
[06:33:51] complete blockade by the American government. God damn. And lastly, obviously this year,
[06:33:58] we started heavily getting involved in campaigns, but then also not only heavily getting involved,
[06:34:05] but like phone banking and, you know, doing door knocking and phone banking on stream too.
[06:34:11] Like all of that stuff is just purely from the perspective of like an industry guy that looks
[06:34:19] at like what Twitch streamers are doing. I know like a lot of people, I know a lot of people will,
[06:34:26] will, you know, think about what I'm doing and probably disparage it.
[06:34:31] But simply from an industry perspective, there's got to be, you know, that's fairly unique.
[06:34:36] In the beginning, it was just like, you can talk to the Twitch audience as if though they aren't
[06:34:43] just a bunch of gamers. It is very productive to... There's also a level of unprecedented access that
[06:34:49] I have to campaigns that no media will ever have because of the established relationships
[06:34:56] that I have, right? Whether it be through DSA, whether it be through the candidates, but like
[06:35:04] I was, I remember talking to a reporter about this where someone was like, it's actually pretty crazy
[06:35:10] that you get to like go to the election victory night and you're like inside of the room.
[06:35:18] Like you go to the election victory party, but you're, you're like there from point A to point Z.
[06:35:24] like we get to see that whole experience. And I never really even thought about it, but there's like
[06:35:30] there's literally like BTS that also has a unique
[06:35:38] that that behind the scenes content is actually unique insight unique level of insight into
[06:35:44] campaigns that you normally would not get even from traditional outlets.
[06:35:48] In 2020, Hasan broke the internet when he streamed Among Us with AOC and Ilhan Omar.
[06:36:09] I was working at Newsweek at the time, and everyone around me in the newsroom saw this
[06:36:14] this truly groundbreaking political content
[06:36:17] when all I saw was a group of strangers
[06:36:19] trying to kill each other in a virtual spaceship.
[06:36:21] But that moment cemented the future of political discourse
[06:36:26] that we're currently dealing with today.
[06:36:27] Before 2020, a politician appearing on a live stream
[06:36:31] or a podcast was rare.
[06:36:32] Mark Marin would get Obama and that was pretty much it.
[06:36:36] But after that live stream,
[06:36:38] politicians realized that they had
[06:36:40] an entirely untapped audience that they could reach
[06:36:43] and they could go on their podcasts
[06:36:44] and go on their live streams
[06:36:46] and start talking with whoever the hell we want.
[06:36:48] There's no way Stephen Miller's wife would have a podcast
[06:36:51] if it wasn't for that Among Us live stream.
[06:36:53] So what happened with the podcast
[06:36:55] and all the programs, and all the programs
[06:36:57] were disgusting, that doesn't mean that Israel.
[06:37:01] From there, Hassan's popularity exploded,
[06:37:03] and he was no longer just a Twitch streamer.
[06:37:05] He was a voice for a generation.
[06:37:07] We do need someone who has motion, a loud voice
[06:37:11] who doesn't give a fuck.
[06:37:12] You know, to continue pushing like the message that, you know, shit is fucked up and like we need to be more aware of what is going on and who to be mad at.
[06:37:21] The Sun outwardly denies being a terrorist and quite frankly it bothers him when people call him that word.
[06:37:27] I wish they stopped calling me a terrorist. That's what I wish. I wish they stopped calling me a radical. None of these people are radical.
[06:37:36] They just want nowhere, they want to end American capitalism.
[06:37:40] And he's being targeted by traditional media and those opposite to him on the political spectrum.
[06:37:46] The attacks, like a couple years ago, like starting 2020, right, they were mostly from like
[06:37:51] YouTubers and like drama slot tubers who were just like looking for drama. He was an easy target
[06:37:57] and they would just use anything to attack him. And now it's evolved into literally Fox News,
[06:38:02] you know, congressional members attacking him,
[06:38:06] Ruchitoris, I was one of the first ones,
[06:38:08] and then I forget who the other two are that did the bill,
[06:38:11] saying, you know, we need to condemn Hassan and Kenzoan.
[06:38:14] But, Hymer!
[06:38:15] It's actually wild, because, you know,
[06:38:17] he's a Twitch streamer, right?
[06:38:19] Like, why are we putting so much,
[06:38:21] like, why are we putting so much attention on this Tricer?
[06:38:24] But unfortunately, it's not just those on the other aisle
[06:38:26] that are disagreeing with him.
[06:38:27] It's also Democrats who are labeling him as an extremist.
[06:38:30] Democrats, Democratic, liberals are panicking.
[06:38:32] And even some conservatives are panicking.
[06:38:34] And the reason why is that, you know, like,
[06:38:36] like he doesn't follow the filter of the Democratic Party.
[06:38:40] He's not paid by chorus or, or by a state minister.
[06:38:46] Taylor Lorenz, man.
[06:38:48] Freddie Ministry of Affairs,
[06:38:49] or from the first to do propaganda for,
[06:38:53] he is also very attractive.
[06:38:56] People started to really care about the things he did
[06:38:58] and hyper-focused on all the little clips that started to go.
[06:39:01] Clips of him that look like he's shocking his dog.
[06:39:04] Kaya, please just fucking go-
[06:39:06] Just stop.
[06:39:08] And saying that America deserve 9-11.
[06:39:10] America deserve 9-11.
[06:39:11] Get captured out of context
[06:39:13] and spread across social media through clippers.
[06:39:16] I don't know if I want to rant about America deserve 9-11 right now.
[06:39:18] I remember when the whole like America deserve 9-11 thing,
[06:39:22] a lot of people were like, whoa, I'm like, my...
[06:39:24] The way he rationalized it, it's like decades upon decades
[06:39:27] of the U.S. are interfering in the Middle East.
[06:39:29] You think we were not going to get attacked?
[06:39:31] People did not deserve the die, obviously,
[06:39:33] but it's like America almost getting a taste
[06:39:35] of its own medicine and purposely even ignoring
[06:39:38] the warning signs that an attack by plane was going to happen.
[06:39:41] Because clipping is big business.
[06:39:43] If you can get a viral clip to go viral on different platforms,
[06:39:46] you can make real money off of it.
[06:39:47] And Hassan is a really easy way to do that.
[06:39:50] There is a clipping industrial complex
[06:39:52] when it comes to people like Hassan.
[06:39:54] Because he gets so tiring, like, see, like, no, there's context to this stuff.
[06:39:58] A five-second clip is not the whole story.
[06:40:01] But there are viewers of his songs who are actually trying to fight back against the clipping.
[06:40:05] It is crazy. There are so many clipping, like, accounts.
[06:40:08] Like, it is crazy.
[06:40:10] My thing is, though, is I clip in real time.
[06:40:13] That's kind of my thing. Like, I just post things in real time before people can get to it
[06:40:17] and make it into something really bad.
[06:40:19] When he went to China and became super excited over their little red book,
[06:40:23] and he went to Cuba to deliver AIDS.
[06:40:26] These all became massive internet viral moments
[06:40:29] that had hundreds of thousands of clips being pushed online.
[06:40:32] I want to say how I feel when I see those things.
[06:40:35] I'm like, that's what you were thinking about.
[06:40:37] Like it flies right through my head.
[06:40:40] It's like, okay, he has, he could have like a 50,000 Rolex.
[06:40:44] I mean, it'd be like, damn, 50,000 for a Rolex.
[06:40:46] That's kind of crazy.
[06:40:47] But like, okay, what about going to Cuba
[06:40:49] and a 50,000 Rolex, which I didn't happen.
[06:40:51] I'm just giving an example.
[06:40:52] The point is Cuba, like the subject matter is there.
[06:40:55] Hassan is not the subject matter when he goes to Cuba.
[06:40:58] I feel like I garnered some sort of like conviction
[06:41:01] for the things that actually matter
[06:41:04] and the things that Hassan is highlighting too, like Cuba.
[06:41:08] So when he goes to Cuba in, I don't know,
[06:41:10] combined $5,000 worth of outfit,
[06:41:14] okay, Cuba's dying.
[06:41:18] And the government started to pay attention.
[06:41:20] He's currently banned in the UK.
[06:41:22] He has a bill in Congress calling him an anti-Semite.
[06:41:26] And his trip to Cuba is currently under investigation.
[06:41:29] It is literally the Streisand effect.
[06:41:30] You guys propped him up.
[06:41:31] You guys keep talking about him, feeding it.
[06:41:33] Like people have been subscribing to him again
[06:41:36] because I think his subscriber count really, really went down.
[06:41:39] I think 2023, 2024 for reasons.
[06:41:42] But like mainstream media and all of his haters
[06:41:44] have been propping him up to be this big thing.
[06:41:47] And people have been checking him out and then subscribing.
[06:41:50] All of that attention just raised his profile.
[06:41:52] And he started giving the support
[06:41:54] to progressive candidates like...
[06:41:55] Brad Lander, of course, was one of the winners.
[06:41:58] Daria Liza was one of the winners.
[06:42:00] Claire Valdez.
[06:42:01] As you guys know, I'm trying to get socialist elected
[06:42:04] was one of the winners.
[06:42:05] Basically, it was a clean sweep for the Zoran candidates.
[06:42:08] Hassan's optimism about the world
[06:42:10] and the fact that he actually mobilizes his audience
[06:42:13] to do something about it is incredibly appealing.
[06:42:16] I think he deserves some glaze as well,
[06:42:18] because it feels like everyone's attacking him,
[06:42:20] and I feel like, nah, he's kind of awesome,
[06:42:23] and he's really smart, and he says good things,
[06:42:26] and I spoke to him.
[06:42:27] And like, there's points where he will say things
[06:42:30] that I disagree with, and I'm not sure
[06:42:33] that we had the same idea of how society should run,
[06:42:36] but at the same time, I feel like these are,
[06:42:39] I feel like there's this space on the left
[06:42:41] where we can have a conversation
[06:42:42] about our opinionism, about things,
[06:42:45] and we can say this thing, and it all comes
[06:42:47] this place of we care about this and we want things to be better. I mean, in that context,
[06:42:51] if I disagree with someone, we will reach the conclusion that's best for everyone because
[06:42:55] we both want the same thing. There's a lot that I agree with when it comes to Hassan.
[06:42:59] I'm anti-billionaire. I'm pro-government regulation. I am anti-Zionist, free Palestine,
[06:43:05] and I believe that the world should be a better place. From my perspective, Zionism isn't just
[06:43:10] bad in the genocidal nature, but I think it also screws us up. I think it's bad for us.
[06:43:17] I've seen how it fucks the brains of people. I've seen how the country has gone more and more to
[06:43:22] the right. I've seen how it deletes cultures, our own cultures, our own Jewish cultures of different
[06:43:27] like only when I was like in my 20s, I learned like songs of different type of hoops. So Zionism
[06:43:37] and kind of flattens everything.
[06:43:39] When they ask you what's the most Jewish thing to you,
[06:43:41] they're not actually asking about Jewish culture,
[06:43:44] they're erasing it.
[06:43:45] And so I see that, for me, that like,
[06:43:49] I feel like Israel is under, I like to call it,
[06:43:52] a miasma, I like that word,
[06:43:55] because it's like this cloud of toxic ideas that like,
[06:43:59] it's in the way people talk,
[06:44:01] and this is something that's so pervasive.
[06:44:06] And he sees that and talks to that nature.
[06:44:09] And so to me, Zionism is anti-Semitic and it's cool.
[06:44:16] What is this?
[06:44:19] Wait, what?
[06:44:19] Why?
[06:44:20] What is that?
[06:44:23] The international not exist at all.
[06:44:24] You can picture a million dollars, but a human brain can't really
[06:44:26] found the person in a million and a billion on a caramany.
[06:44:28] Mega sports culture.
[06:44:29] Otherwise you get nobody needs that much money unless you want to reshape the world.
[06:44:32] That's why I believe in the Marxist.
[06:44:33] I want the will of people to dictate how society is wrong.
[06:44:35] Wait, what the fuck? Why did he put that in there?
[06:44:41] Check out my coverage of Mr. B's games and understand what happens when the rich folks only care about their products.
[06:44:46] There's more. I just wanted to write a little something that gets deeper into my thoughts that nobody will probably read.
[06:44:50] If you read all this comment at the bottom, what your favorite pasta dish is.
[06:44:53] Personally, I don't really want to watch Hasan. He's not really my vibe.
[06:44:58] I don't really love political punditry, except when I used to watch The Daily Show back when I was in middle school.
[06:45:03] school. And I want to make it clear that it's not just Hassan's haters that have disagreements
[06:45:07] with Hassan. Even his own viewers have things that they don't like about him. Some of the
[06:45:12] people I spoke with really dislike the new suits that he keeps wearing.
[06:45:15] I feel like Hassan has grown in style, really takes it so seriously. He's starting to wear
[06:45:21] the suits now and I'm like, okay, you can stop that now. Like I know he's been wearing
[06:45:26] suits a lot lately to like, I guess, woo the Fox News people or whatever.
[06:45:32] that he is incredibly bro-y.
[06:45:34] There's a bunch of different things
[06:45:35] that people can misunderstand with him.
[06:45:37] So people who are too serious will see him
[06:45:40] as like a dumb jock or whatever.
[06:45:42] Like even sometimes I'll show,
[06:45:44] because my family is socialists.
[06:45:45] So they're the same, they have the same viewpoints as me.
[06:45:48] But they don't really like watching him
[06:45:49] because they find him a little bit too abrasive sometimes,
[06:45:52] which he is like.
[06:45:53] That he keeps fighting with chat no matter what.
[06:45:56] He does get angry.
[06:45:58] Why is every baboon in my chat
[06:46:01] So quick to try to overcorrect thinking that you're gonna come across as smart like most people understand exactly what I'm saying
[06:46:08] Why are people so stupid like?
[06:46:11] Which I mean, I think it just comes to the terror. This is all from peak woke era by the way that
[06:46:17] Something that's getting lost in translation here is that used to be
[06:46:22] Me yelling at those who thought that they were to my left even back then
[06:46:27] okay
[06:46:29] That back then was peak woke. We had like the Minecraft stand Twitter and many people like that
[06:46:35] And they would come in and be like you need to issue a trigger warning for this or do this do that
[06:46:41] You need to say Latin X that was a big one and I was like no, I will not be doing that
[06:46:46] um
[06:46:47] People who would come in to be like can we talk about?
[06:46:51] Um, what is it like? What is it called xeno gender? I was like, I don't know anything about it
[06:46:55] You know do your own thing
[06:46:57] It's great. Have fun. It's just not I'm not going to be able to discuss this. Neopronoun. Yeah, Neopronouns.
[06:47:05] There was that.
[06:47:09] You still do this? I know, but I used to do it back then too.
[06:47:13] But it's interesting because a lot of people I realized, a lot of people
[06:47:19] think that I was like peak woke during peak woke.
[06:47:22] And it's really interesting because I tweeted something about this like a couple weeks ago where I was like,
[06:47:26] Like, listen, there were a lot of excesses during peak woke that I actually tried to
[06:47:30] restrain to the best of my ability, but it's like obviously far better than what we have
[06:47:33] now, which is neo-nazi nonsense.
[06:47:36] And it's ironic because I used to warn against that even back then.
[06:47:39] I still remember there's a rant from like, I think like 2020 or something like that around
[06:47:44] that time when peak woke was popping off.
[06:47:47] And I said, this is still far more preferable to have the internet run by a bunch of, you
[06:47:54] know, young teenagers who are, are like aggressive and very rad Libby. It's far more preferable
[06:48:03] to the way that the internet used to run in the gamer gay era when it was like all fucking
[06:48:07] neo-nazis trying to be as edgy as possible. And I didn't know how bad it would get. I
[06:48:14] did call it. I said, it's gonna, it's gonna swing back when Biden becomes president.
[06:48:20] But, you know, it's true, I do prefer the peak woke to whatever the fuck is happening
[06:48:27] right now.
[06:48:31] Pendulum swung back in the other direction.
[06:48:34] There were excesses during peak woke, but I far preferred those excesses to the unrestrained
[06:48:40] neo-Nazi sentiment.
[06:48:44] But what's really funny, at least from my perspective, yeah, I said I'd rather have
[06:48:50] a bunch of annoying SJWs, yeah.
[06:48:53] But what was really funny, was really funny is a lot of people on the right think that
[06:48:59] I was the annoying SJW.
[06:49:01] They just have never encountered my content.
[06:49:05] So they thought that I was like the fucking goat, the top Brigadier General, the Admiral
[06:49:12] commander of peak woke where I was just telling people you have to say latinx sweetie or else
[06:49:17] I'm gonna cancel your you know entire family or some shit
[06:49:26] And it's really funny
[06:49:30] Because I was never that guy sorry like a lot of people on the left yelled at me
[06:49:36] Because I wouldn't you know go the distance with them on some stuff that I thought was silly
[06:49:42] Which, I mean, I think it just comes to the territory, like, if you're just talking to
[06:49:48] a crowd of people at all times that are talking back to you, I think it can cause some sort
[06:49:53] of negativity to come out every now and then.
[06:49:56] Since the community is very white, I think that sometimes black and brown voices are
[06:50:00] not taken as seriously.
[06:50:02] I know, like, this year, I think he's really tried to have a diverse group of politicians,
[06:50:07] but he can't help that the community itself is sometimes very aggressive.
[06:50:11] And sometimes I have felt that my opinion is being ostracized because it's not the majority
[06:50:17] opinion in that chat.
[06:50:18] He does handle the topic of black issues, I guess, better than other people or his counterparts
[06:50:26] would who aren't black kind of thing.
[06:50:30] He handles them in the way that he knows how to handle them as a white guy.
[06:50:34] I do think because he's afraid of being clipped out of context because of what he's been
[06:50:38] accused of before that he just lets the community like do whatever because he's trying to rattle
[06:50:44] off like a bunch of like talking points that like we've all heard before and then because
[06:50:49] he's trying to get through it people are in the chatter just saying a bunch of crazy shit.
[06:50:53] Your statement itself is not incorrect okay the deployment in this situation against me
[06:51:00] as though I am at odds with what you're saying is incorrect.
[06:51:04] I was doing the thing where they agree with my overall analysis, but come at it as though
[06:51:09] they're in disagreement.
[06:51:11] There is no disagreement.
[06:51:13] And I can't tell if people just have some kind of, I mean, tensions are high.
[06:51:21] So I guess that's probably part of the reason.
[06:51:23] But most of all, he's too hyperbolic with his statements.
[06:51:26] Oh, well, you know, I said America deserved 9-11 and it was misconstrued.
[06:51:31] You know, I do have, sometimes, uh, I use hyperbolic language and, uh, it gets, uh, taken
[06:51:35] out of context or whatever.
[06:51:36] I have friends, uh, who are simply as respectful as I am, and they see him as an extreme conic
[06:51:44] name, like, too extreme for their tastes, and it's managed just because of the clips
[06:51:48] and the hyperbolic statements, I think it's misunderstanding.
[06:51:51] It's, that doesn't make him look good.
[06:51:53] Uh, he's very provocative than what he says.
[06:51:56] The ultra-Orthodox Jews leaving Israel?
[06:51:59] Fucking hilarious.
[06:52:00] Okay.
[06:52:01] If they serve in the military and then they get their fucking untrained inbred asses shipped
[06:52:08] into southern Lebanon?
[06:52:10] That was a bad phrase, I mean, does he think that Hasidic Jews are inbred because he's
[06:52:17] an anti-Semitic?
[06:52:18] No.
[06:52:19] Because anti-Semitic people, they don't just say one thing.
[06:52:22] If he was a Nazi, he would say other stuff.
[06:52:25] He would have to do it in other ways.
[06:52:27] He makes a grand over the top joke or statement that in context seems okay, but when you look
[06:52:35] at it in a 30 second clip, it's absolutely awful.
[06:52:38] Kill those motherfuckers, immerge those motherfuckers in the street, let the streets soak in the-
[06:52:44] You can hear the person I'm talking to laughing on the other side of this clip, which makes
[06:52:49] things even more ironic.
[06:52:52] Fucking red capitalist blood dude.
[06:52:54] It allows those clippers to kind of run free and go wild.
[06:52:58] And his viewers are like, why are you saying these things?
[06:53:00] You're just encouraging this behavior to grow.
[06:53:03] I don't know the context of these particular statements, but here's a quote from you about
[06:53:07] landlords who don't want to rent out their properties.
[06:53:10] You said, kill them, murder them, let the streets soak in their red capitalist blood.
[06:53:18] Doesn't that make you part of the problem with violent discourse?
[06:53:23] This was in a conversation that I was having with a landlord friend of mine, and it's of
[06:53:27] course hyperbolic, and it's not meant to be sincere, it's not sincere advocacy.
[06:53:32] It's not a real policy that I would ever advocate for, and that's precisely the reason
[06:53:36] why when Republicans were desperately looking for any sort of incisive language that they
[06:53:40] could present, they went back to a very obvious instance of larping.
[06:53:48] But again, Hasan is a streamer.
[06:53:51] His job is to go live for eight hours a day.
[06:53:53] He has to keep talking.
[06:53:54] He just has to keep saying things because he has to keep his viewers entertained.
[06:53:58] He has to keep the algorithms entertained.
[06:54:00] His language is hyperbolic, but I know-
[06:54:03] It's funny because this video hasn't mentioned no matter what you will be clipped out of context.
[06:54:07] I mean, yeah, that's, that is the reality and it's just one that I have to be comfortable
[06:54:12] with otherwise I would just quit what I'm doing.
[06:54:13] You know what I mean?
[06:54:14] If I want to keep live streaming, if I want to keep live streaming, which is a medium that requires you to speak all the time, 20,000 plus hours, and live stream political commentary, it's going to happen.
[06:54:29] It's going to happen. It's going to happen in the future. It's going to happen. And it has happened in the past.
[06:54:36] Is just there's no other way to do it unless I just
[06:54:40] Change my format and turn this into CNN
[06:54:45] And even then people will start it. Well, we'll try to find shit to clip out of context regardless
[06:54:50] But obviously there would be far less opportunities
[06:54:53] Ever I for one has never you know had the her to call of actually, you know
[06:54:58] Causing form or violence or anything like that to to get there. He's never done that. I'm sick and tired of it
[06:55:04] Left-wingers, liberals, you need to be fucking showing your opponents guts on there, okay?
[06:55:13] You need to be gutting them.
[06:55:14] You need to be shanking these motherfuckers and letting their fucking, letting their intestines
[06:55:20] just ride on stage.
[06:55:22] What the fuck is this shit, man?
[06:55:25] You know, so at least not to how I've interpreted it.
[06:55:29] But even with all their criticisms.
[06:55:31] Yeah, that's me talking about debating, by the way.
[06:55:34] Like that's literally, that's me responding to liberals refusing to fucking go toe to
[06:55:41] toe on the debate stage with the Republicans.
[06:55:45] But like, it's like, it's, I mean, you can kind of pick it up because I do say stage
[06:55:50] in between.
[06:55:52] But regardless, like it's, there's a lot of, there are a lot of moments like that.
[06:55:59] Like any utilization of metaphor is, especially if it's like violent, is immediately tracked
[06:56:06] as a call to action, a call to violence.
[06:56:10] Overall, they still prefer it to mainstream media, which has sort of gone on a long death
[06:56:15] march over the past decades.
[06:56:17] Political punditry started when Rush Limbaugh crawled out of the primordial ooze of AM radio
[06:56:23] and evolved with Rachel Maddow with the millennials, reaching its final form with Hassan Piker.
[06:56:28] People love to get their information from somewhere else.
[06:56:32] And yeah, like go for the kill in a debate would be considered a call for violence, right?
[06:56:40] It's stuff like that.
[06:56:41] It's just, you know, I'm hyperbolic.
[06:56:45] I utilize metaphors.
[06:56:49] And there are a lot of people who you have to say you're doing a metaphor before using
[06:56:55] it.
[06:56:56] I know, but it doesn't matter because they'll clip me going. I'm metaphorically saying this and they'll clip it out of context because
[06:57:03] that video is
[06:57:07] Punched in this is something that people do all the time they punch in and they clip the the
[06:57:14] Surrounding incident to rob it of context in its entirety
[06:57:17] That's the reason why that clip exists in the way that it does on the internet, right?
[06:57:21] Because even if you could see what I'm reacting to, you could probably piece together that
[06:57:26] I'm like very clearly responding to something that I'm seeing on screen.
[06:57:32] Have it filtered through someone else's ideology.
[06:57:34] I used to love watching John Stuart on The Daily Show, shit on Bush, and all the horrible
[06:57:39] stuff of that era.
[06:57:40] I don't believe in wearing a helmet, unless I have crashed and am flying towards the curb
[06:57:46] noggin first.
[06:57:50] I find too much political content brain rotting.
[06:57:53] Look what happened to Asmoghult.
[06:57:54] It's not commentary, it's the truth.
[06:57:57] That's why you support organizations that want to genocide Jews and that are literally
[06:58:01] designated terrorist organizations.
[06:58:03] I mean, this isn't commentary.
[06:58:06] People can find this on your Wikipedia, probably.
[06:58:08] Now, Hassan isn't for me, but it's clear he's important to a lot of people.
[06:58:13] His political actions, bro-ey attitudes, and overall optimistic view on the world has
[06:58:19] given people hope and I can't knock that it's clear his viewers are looking for something to
[06:58:25] help them change and Hassan is giving them that opportunity. I've improved myself in my looks,
[06:58:31] my physicality. I've tried to take care of myself and my hair and going to the gym when I can or
[06:58:39] try to work on those muscles not physical muscles but like those habits. I think that's an important
[06:58:45] part of it because if we take care of ourselves we can take care of people around us.
[06:58:49] And in this depressive era, and there's nothing else that gives you hope, if you have to get it from a 6-2 himbo, so be it.
[06:58:55] 6-4, bro. Chill. Chill. King. What the hell?
[06:59:00] Now I'm gonna go do something that I think a lot of Hassan fans would appreciate, and I'm gonna go work out.
[06:59:11] Robbing me in my height?
[06:59:13] This guy's an AWP, bro.
[06:59:19] Great video.
[06:59:29] Lowkey, does this make you proud?
[06:59:31] You know obviously these people are putting their own word but you've held guide them.
[06:59:34] Yes, this is why I do what I do.
[06:59:35] This is also why I was confident that like, this is why I was also confident that if he
[06:59:40] were to like interview my community he'd give a very different perspective.
[06:59:45] As a song fan, I can confirm my through world genuinely normal people who are very committed.
[06:59:49] We like this guy. It gives us good commentary, true convictions and wants to make the world
[06:59:52] better. I've spent comedic amount time arguing with morons who are personally clipping amount
[06:59:55] of content and it feels like trying to fight the misinformation is just impossible. I
[06:59:58] started working out on better my life because of him. I watch him at work every time a controversy
[07:00:02] goes viral. It becomes unwatchable with fans of other people coming in and basically bullying
[07:00:06] and harassing him and us.
[07:00:12] It feels like you're a bit white-knighting his son.
[07:00:14] You can't be hyperbolic when you're talking about politics if you want to be taken seriously.
[07:00:17] And him praising the Houthis doesn't fit in him just being entertaining.
[07:00:21] He also pretends to shocking his dog, really dude, I did not say pretends to shock his
[07:00:25] dog, please don't misquote me.
[07:00:29] You also mentioned a son being brash with his viewer and don't include a clip of wishing
[07:00:31] him a trans person a miserable life.
[07:00:33] Dude, immediately he went through the clip comp.
[07:00:36] Look at this.
[07:00:38] Like that person is still in this community.
[07:00:46] Like that's so wild.
[07:00:48] This is what I mean.
[07:00:50] What's wild about it is like, dude, how have you internalized everything that you've seen?
[07:00:58] How have you internalized everything that you've seen?
[07:01:01] Where you instantly are like, well, this, this, this, this, this.
[07:01:06] You put some of the worst clips out there on this fucking broadcast, like how, how do
[07:01:15] you, it just shocks me because like, even if you're fucking terminally, even if you're
[07:01:26] terminally online, right?
[07:01:27] And many of these people are, many of my haters are.
[07:01:30] What I don't understand is like, why you've made it your lives mission to go anywhere
[07:01:34] and everywhere where I am mentioned to be like no everyone needs to know this guy's
[07:01:38] bad like what will that do for you you know what I mean what will that even
[07:01:47] fucking do for you yeah I saw the end he runs in the end everyone I know you're
[07:01:54] watching this on how the sun stream when you get the chance watch on the actual
[07:01:58] stream too and give him a light. Oh, shit. Look at that. Look at that clock. I almost
[07:02:08] didn't see that part. Okay. Respect, respect, respect caught. You remember trolling, right?
[07:02:18] Is it terminally online? I saw they have no lights. I also, they rewired their brain to
[07:02:21] gain pleasure from it, like a mutation from trolling. You remember trolling, right? I
[07:02:28] I just don't get it. I genuinely don't get it. Why can't you like there's got to be more productive ways to even troll on the internet?
[07:02:46] It was linked on the d reddit. That's why they're gonna brigade. Yeah. Yeah, go watch the video
[07:02:53] And and go show us some love
[07:02:56] Are any of them raising a family has Sompiker is a Psyop. Dad bod God followed by Harley
[07:03:04] Moranstein. Yeah, quite a few. That's a very nondescriptive answer.
[07:03:26] It sounds like the Gordon Ramsay apothecs is going to be shouting profanity at times but
[07:03:35] ultimately he's trying to help and educate people for the better.
[07:03:37] Ramsay's the dick, it sounds like a nice fellow but I appreciate your premise.
[07:03:56] I just, you know, anyway.
[07:04:17] I'm a millennial with a child in kindergarten who voted for Zoramundani.
[07:04:20] I watch the cavernical because of his soothing voice and leisurely video release pace.
[07:04:24] people like me don't fit into your neat little boxes. We will have never made a video about
[07:04:28] this. This guy's awesome. This is like the, he's got a Donald Hughes. He posts like Donald
[07:04:41] hues all the time. He's a great poster, his leisurely video release face. Oh, it's funny.
[07:05:06] Because he lies to them and they eat it up like actual slop reaching out to an actual
[07:05:10] co-group to find out how their P-brainwashing works. I never believe I see this video. Don't
[07:05:16] bother dude, we know who watches him. You know, one thing that I did take issue with in this video
[07:05:31] is that Steven did not mention that I wear suits because I'm a business guy and that I am
[07:05:38] an international shipping magnate a
[07:05:44] Package trolley on the mailers they put a fake is on the mailers dog
[07:05:47] That's not a fake is on that's Abdul
[07:05:50] But from years ago when he was a little bit chunkier
[07:06:01] Yeah, I'm an international shipping magnate. I love commerce. I love the free flow of trade and
[07:06:08] Yeah, that's true. Those are the true things yet. By the way, Representative Hillary Sholton
[07:06:17] from D. Michigan criticized progressives of probable decadence of said really problematic
[07:06:21] things, adding without elaborating that obvios a problematic record with women.
[07:06:24] As the best Sholton's comments, I'll say a spokesman, Roxy Richner said,
[07:06:28] unless the Congresswoman has specific accusations she would like to make,
[07:06:31] perhaps it's better to avoid repeating throwaway talking boys to push an unfounded narrative.
[07:06:35] We did the testosterone screenings. Oh, here, AOC has some choice words for the Abdul-Al-Sahed
[07:06:50] critics as well. Let's take a look at what she had to say.
[07:06:52] I got a P.
[07:06:53] I got a P.
[07:06:54] Abdul-Al-Sahed and some of those other progressives, aliening swing voters, moderate voters, people
[07:06:59] who may vote for Republicans. Why don't you share that concern?
[07:07:03] I don't think people have really made the forceful case outside of his identity, to be honest with you.
[07:07:12] And I don't accept that.
[07:07:14] I don't accept-
[07:07:15] It's not being a Muslim.
[07:07:16] Yeah.
[07:07:17] You know, I think, like, keep it to the issues if we want to say what specifically it is,
[07:07:24] But I don't ascribe to the idea that a Muslim can't win,
[07:07:32] that a woman can't win, that a white person can't win.
[07:07:35] I don't ascribe to these ideas.
[07:07:36] I ascribe to what a person is talking about.
[07:07:40] And Abdul El Sayed is not taking corporate money.
[07:07:44] He wants every American in Michigan to have health care.
[07:07:49] He wants their wages to go up.
[07:07:51] He is endorsed by the United Auto Workers, one of the most powerful unions in America
[07:07:57] and certainly the most powerful union in the state of Michigan.
[07:08:00] So working people are standing with him.
[07:08:03] And I think that's like, I mean, that's the case.
[07:08:10] Why didn't you get behind them?
[07:08:21] Um, yeah, speaking of, is it too liberal, RGA is coming out with a scheduled ad to go
[07:08:44] out against Francesca Hong, but this is yet another one of those instances where it's
[07:08:49] It's like, it's an attack ad, but it's not really an attack ad because it's the primaries.
[07:08:56] And it's an attack ad that's meant to highlight, it's an attack ad that's meant to highlight
[07:09:05] Francesca Hong to the Democratic primary voters.
[07:09:09] And once again, it's free promo.
[07:09:12] And that's the reason why they're doing it is because they think Francesca Hong is easier
[07:09:15] to beat than the other candidates, but they're fucking wrong.
[07:09:19] Okay, they did this with Obdual too. Let's take a look.
[07:09:26] Oh my god, they have my shame right there. My shame.
[07:09:33] Right there in display.
[07:09:37] I hate that.
[07:09:38] Cheesegate prominently featured in this attack ad.
[07:09:46] Ugh, what have I done?
[07:09:50] What have I done?
[07:09:51] That's liberal Francesca Hong.
[07:09:53] Her agenda, Hong opposes President Trump's deportation policy.
[07:09:59] Dude, yeah, that's why, that's how you know it's a fake attack ad.
[07:10:05] Okay?
[07:10:07] This is a fake attack ad by the Republicans to boost Francesca Hong
[07:10:12] They did this with Abdul al-sayed as well
[07:10:15] Because the Republicans are fucking stupid and they think Francesca Hong is easier to beat than the other
[07:10:21] Democratic candidates. They're wrong
[07:10:24] Just like the Republicans think Abdul al-sayed is easier to beat than Hayley Stevens again
[07:10:30] They're wrong and she wants to abolish ice
[07:10:33] Abolishing ice. Yes, Holly even supports banning Wisconsin law enforcement from cooperating with ice
[07:10:39] That will weaken public safety and make us less safe. Holy shit. It's Maddie Maroon Trump's biggest yonder. I
[07:10:47] Tried to tell them Maddie Maroon what gives
[07:10:52] What gives
[07:10:54] From biggest yonder
[07:10:59] Lizzie Graham TTV fuck you fuck you fuck you okay, bro
[07:11:03] I know it was hot down there, but God damn progressive roots. That's Francesca Hong to liberal
[07:11:12] Yeah, another ad news the RGA scheduled to go with his ad tomorrow across Wisconsin after friendship to Hong
[07:11:17] That's Francesca Hong to liberal who responds the statement from the RGA on that by its time that Wisconsin voters started to learn
[07:11:21] Just how dangerously liberal Democrat front-runner
[07:11:23] Francesca Hong truly is Hong wants to make Wisconsin a progressive safe haven or police don't cooperate with ice communities are less safe
[07:11:29] safe. Once voters learn of a record, they will see that Hong is just too liberal for
[07:11:33] Wisconsin. So yeah, that, that is, that is straight up positioned as a, what is this?
[07:11:45] He's right. They're setting up AOC attack ads to see what works. The attack ads against
[07:11:49] the L side and I'm not in for their support and association with a Sampanker are just
[07:11:52] testing grounds for the attacks, the establishment was planning for AOC who has been frequenting
[07:11:57] Hassan stream since 2019. You people aren't sick free Palestine. I don't like Stevens and I don't
[07:12:01] like outside, but it's important to specifically defeat and exile people like outside. So we don't
[07:12:05] have this stink of association of people like this in the democratic party, no matter how much
[07:12:08] you might like them. Some things are a bridge too far. I really miss the days when Democrats
[07:12:13] think America had it coming on 9 11 was a ridiculous right wing straw man.
[07:12:20] From some place, very, very, very hot rush them back. Cackles with Glee also remember the
[07:12:24] the Republicans told us they were the party of moral values and the personal character
[07:12:27] of our leaders really mattered. Good times, good times. I do admit that Donald Trump
[07:12:31] experienced, they probably have something of a point here now. Okay. But they've completely
[07:12:35] abandoned it in service thereof.
[07:12:37] It's really funny because Republicans lean into that stuff because it's popular with
[07:12:41] the fucking base. Okay. These guys are the, yeah, never DSA. Look, Arizona by way of
[07:12:49] of Virginia and every DSA, some Bell supremacists,
[07:12:52] these guys are living in a universe or an environment
[07:12:56] that they, in some ways they're not different
[07:12:59] than a lot of the idealists on the left who think
[07:13:04] that we have the moral leverage.
[07:13:07] We have the morally righteous position
[07:13:10] and therefore people should just understand
[07:13:12] where we're coming from and shut the fuck up
[07:13:15] and agree with us, right?
[07:13:17] That's not how things work in the real world.
[07:13:19] Sometimes you have to get in the fucking pit, sometimes you have to play around.
[07:13:24] Okay, you, what do I always say?
[07:13:27] Socialism is a mass movement and therefore you have to speak to the masses.
[07:13:32] You have to be with the masses.
[07:13:34] You have to organize around the needs of the masses and you have to use the
[07:13:37] language of the masses.
[07:13:38] Now what these guys are doing from their elitist ivory towers is this like false
[07:13:42] understanding of how people are.
[07:13:44] This is not the media environment that we live in any longer.
[07:13:47] You are trying to sanitize your output. You're trying to sanitize your communication or rather you're using a false
[07:13:55] idealistic perspective of how
[07:13:59] People should communicate about their values and you're using that as a cudgel against people who you oppose
[07:14:06] Ideologically there is not a guy that this person actually appreciates within the DSA side
[07:14:11] that that clearly doesn't use the language that I use because not many
[07:14:17] people who are political actors and political operatives speak the way that
[07:14:21] I do right this person does not have a you know alternative example that is
[07:14:30] positive he doesn't have a guy who's like well you know here's a guy that I
[07:14:34] appreciate who actually does a very good job at most they'll say it about Zoran
[07:14:38] But these guys don't fucking like Zoran either, right?
[07:14:44] That's it
[07:14:47] Many of these guys opposed Zoran at the mo at most they can't say that I they opposed Zoran
[07:14:53] Because if you want me without you know, the the spicy language you get Zoran and many people love that as a matter of fact
[07:15:01] He is unbelievably popular, right, but these guys don't like him either
[07:15:06] either. These guys don't like him either. The whole point is, they're just simply using
[07:15:13] this as, oh, he said this thing and I hate it. And it shows that he has a real moral
[07:15:19] failing because he thinks the moral failing actually comes from the ideals, the ideology,
[07:15:27] the goals, the policies. Do you understand?
[07:15:41] Kyle comes close. Kyle comes close to someone who has the same policies, but doesn't speak
[07:15:48] in the same way. Are you insane? I love Kyle because he doesn't do that. Are you out of
[07:15:56] your mind. Kyle Kalinsky, the Dark World commander says unhinged shit, more unhinged, by the
[07:16:02] way, well deserved, but way more unhinged than me at times. The fuck do you mean?
[07:16:09] Yeah, Kyle is a crash out. He forts into the mic. That's so funny. I didn't even know he
[07:16:17] did that. But in any case, in any case, yeah, he's out of pocket all the time. I'm out of
[07:16:25] pocket all the time. We're entertainers, okay? We're supposed to be entertaining. Just focus on,
[07:16:34] focus on the policies and the worldview and the advocacy and not like the language that we're
[07:16:40] using, right? Washington Post is not boosting the latest poll for Stevens. Stevens polls ahead
[07:16:46] of Obdol, said in Key Michigan Senate. Yeah, of course, Washington Post also fucking despises
[07:16:52] Abdul El Sayed. A lot of mainstream media hate Abdul El Sayed. Not all, there's plenty of people who
[07:17:00] actually are sympathetic to him because he's charismatic, he brings clicks. He's exactly the
[07:17:05] kind of dynamic candidate that smart producers will appreciate to have on their broadcast.
[07:17:12] But ideologically, there's a lot of editors and a lot of people in position of power who despise
[07:17:17] is worldview. So they'll do everything they can to boost the opposition.
[07:17:24] Anyway, yeah, I don't like Stevens and I don't like El Sade. We have to exile El Sade, so
[07:17:31] we don't have to stink of association of people like this in the Democratic Party. Yeah, you
[07:17:35] know who else had the fucking same association? Zoran Kwame Mamdani. Again, Zoran Kwame Mamdani,
[07:17:45] AOC and the reality of the matter is these people don't like those people either.
[07:17:49] They're terrified of those people.
[07:17:51] They're terrified of the values that those people advocate for, the values that
[07:17:56] those people are pushing.
[07:17:57] And that's precisely why they just try to recreate the same exact attack ad.
[07:18:02] Okay.
[07:18:02] They're trying to do the same thing that the APAC mailer is doing to be like,
[07:18:06] yeah, we can't have these guys.
[07:18:08] They just clearly they're hanging out with the wrong Twitch streamer.
[07:18:11] They should hang out with my favorite political commentator instead.
[07:18:15] Okay.
[07:18:16] Well, it's not how things work.
[07:18:18] Is it?
[07:18:24] I just hope you guys do the dirty little break you're planning after you get humiliated by AOC who's been associated with the losses 2019 sent from Tel Aviv.
[07:18:32] I don't want people who are the kind of people said America had 9 11 coming any more than is acceptable for opponents around election denialism Q and L supporters.
[07:18:40] Yeah, the difference between blowback as a concept and outright election denialism or QAnon support is that one is fucking schizophrenic, the other one is an issue that perhaps not delivered in the most appropriate way, but one that has academic consensus.
[07:18:58] Like this false equivalence doesn't fucking work with for people with a brain. Okay, you can do this civility fetishism all day every day till the cows come home.
[07:19:11] But the problem for guys like this is that I do have a fucking platform so I can actually go through and explain what my world view is in real time to a far larger audience and sometimes a competitive sized audience to even do that.
[07:19:27] the audience to even mainstream outlets. That's the problem, okay? I used to think
[07:19:36] Cenk was delusional. Well, I still have my issues with Cenk, but I used to think Cenk
[07:19:42] was delusional when he used to say like, oh, the independent media is coming. It's going to
[07:19:46] fucking, it is going to destroy mainstream outlets in reach, in size, in influence,
[07:19:52] Okay, I used to think like, oh dude, this guy is out of his fucking mind.
[07:19:57] But the reality is, we are there now, like that damn has broke, right?
[07:20:06] And people do choose to go and get their news and information directly from people like
[07:20:14] myself.
[07:20:16] more and more every single day more and more people are coming to places like
[07:20:21] this. Unkwax or Nephew could run. It's true. But these guys are just
[07:20:29] sharpened to an increasingly smaller audience of people. We know you want
[07:20:33] forever wars. Blowbacks is generally dumb idea that sounds intellectual and
[07:20:37] people deployed to to tell people they hate you, deserved it. Really, the CIA
[07:20:45] When they fucking concocted the concept of blowback were actually deeply resentful of American foreign policy and therefore
[07:20:54] They like that's that's what happened to CIA was like we actually fucking hate everything that we've done
[07:21:00] That's why we should come up with a way to say America deserved America deserve what was coming for it
[07:21:08] Yeah
[07:21:09] Same with like the godfathers of the neocon movement that have also basically said that American foreign intervention is the response is
[07:21:17] A direct result of the American foreign intervention in the Middle East is 9-11
[07:21:21] you know when fucking Robert Kagan is writing that in
[07:21:25] In a in the Wall Street Journal or wash the poster wherever the fuck he wrote that it's like that was actually because he has deep resentment
[07:21:34] The thing that really frustrates me with a lot of liberals is that you know, they read books
[07:21:39] like guys like this, they at least are literate, right? They're at the very
[07:21:45] least literate people. And what's frustrating to me is because of that
[07:21:49] literacy, they do have a significant upper hand to the average Republican who,
[07:21:56] unfortunately for all of us, because they're running the show right now, are
[07:21:59] fucking illiterate. But what's frustrating to no end is that these dumb fucks who
[07:22:05] are literate, who should know better, will then sit there and behave as though they know
[07:22:12] better when they're just objectively wrong.
[07:22:15] And I don't think they're acting obtuse on purpose, they're just blinded by ideology.
[07:22:21] They're blinded by their ideological predisposition into falsely assuming that anyone that has
[07:22:29] a different opinion than they do to their left is actually just a dumbass, a pie in
[07:22:34] this guy idealist. And a lot of the institutions that they went to, a lot of the people that
[07:22:41] they're friends with from these institutions still have that same attitude as well. So
[07:22:47] they just never actually check themselves. They never actually go back to the drawing
[07:22:51] board. They never actually try to, to, to, you know, reconsider their priors. And they
[07:22:57] just live in this fucking universe where they're like, I'm right. And everyone else around
[07:23:02] me that went to the same Ivy League institution I went to is also right and nobody understands
[07:23:07] us because we're just too intellectual for the rest of the world. That's not the case.
[07:23:15] That's not the case. You're just fucking echo chambered into believing that your worldview
[07:23:20] is correct. Liberals are literate with zero critical thinking and analysis skills, no
[07:23:30] introspection, it's all aesthetics to them, proving they aren't primitives as they see
[07:23:34] the Republicans to be. It's all r slash I'm very smart and nothing else with livers. I
[07:23:38] agree. And for the record, for the record, being literate is far more intelligent than
[07:23:54] the average person in the United States of America. Okay.
[07:23:58] Like, so I'm not going to sit here and act like these guys aren't smarter than the average
[07:24:06] Republican. But when you make such a stupid comparison, when you say like blowback is
[07:24:11] the same as QAnon, you come across like a fucking QAnon supporter to those who know
[07:24:18] better. Okay? That's it. You think in your tiny little echo chamber surrounded by other
[07:24:26] people who went to the same institutions, read the same books, have the exact same worldview,
[07:24:31] this arrogance can be rewarded and misunderstood as thinking in a higher plane. Okay? However,
[07:24:41] to those who are more knowledgeable than you, this looks like you're the fucking election
[07:24:46] denier. This is an insane comparison to make. Do you understand? Are you talking about Ezra?
[07:25:02] No, the one thing I always give credit to Ezra on, which really pisses these guys off, by the way,
[07:25:09] because he is the goat of liberals, right? He is the king of liberals.
[07:25:15] And the one thing I always give credit to Ezra on is that despite his priors despite his biases despite
[07:25:22] His worldview he is far more open-minded
[07:25:26] To other perspectives and these fucking idiots are which is part of the reason why
[07:25:32] Which is part of the reason why he can actually kind of like shape shift a little bit and and find a more comfortable footing
[07:25:39] That is more in tune with the with the opinions of the masses
[07:25:43] Like Ezra is the type of person who's an abundance, but then he also talks to Ta-Nehisi
[07:25:50] Coates and he respects Ta-Nehisi's perspective, even though Ta-Nehisi's framework on Israel
[07:25:55] Palestine has changed dramatically over the years, right?
[07:25:58] Like he's not immediately going to be like, you're a fucking radical.
[07:26:01] Like he could have just as easily been like, oh, Ta-Nehisi is a radical now.
[07:26:08] He's basically a terrorist and hit the racialized resentment towards what he was saying, but
[07:26:14] he didn't do that.
[07:26:19] You understand?
[07:26:37] reply below indefensible like yeah i saw that i that's why i'm saying it's like stupid
[07:26:51] even liberals aren't a monolith of course liberals aren't a monolith i mean there's
[07:26:54] plenty of liberals that i i i keep company with right so one of the chat was just asking about them
[07:27:01] the podjohns. The podjohns are very supportive of Abdul. For example,
[07:27:26] since when do we trust the CIA for the concept of blowback, we only trust the Singaporean
[07:27:30] justice system and prosecuting slander and defamation as a shipping and logistics business
[07:27:34] owner, I have faith that the Singaporean authorities will maintain an attractive legal environment
[07:27:38] for foreign investment."
[07:27:40] Cain Burt.
[07:27:57] Speaking of blowback did you cover Chuck Schumer's big old shard on stream today?
[07:28:01] Okay now it's time.
[07:28:03] Now it's fucking officially time at the end of the day, after a long day while we're talking
[07:28:08] about explosive diarrhea and all these other problems. Let's get to Chuck Schumer who ripped
[07:28:13] a fat one. What is this? How you get clipped? Would you rather be gay or a gamer? Would you
[07:28:20] rather be gay or a gamer? Would you rather be gay or a gamer? I'm already a gamer. Gay
[07:28:27] or a gamer? Is it a trick question? A game? Would you rather be gay or a gamer? Gay or
[07:28:34] a gamer. A gay or a gamer. A gay or a gamer. A gay or a gamer. Would you rather be gay
[07:28:42] or a g... This is how I get clipped. But never on how I'd rather be gay than a gamer.
[07:28:51] We need a complete investigation that's independent. Now on Iran and the NDAA, when all the Trump
[07:29:00] Wait, was that it?
[07:29:04] When all the Trump administration complete investigation, that's independent.
[07:29:10] Now on Iran and the NDA, bro, he lifts up.
[07:29:16] Hey, yo, he fucking tuned in.
[07:29:22] He did the to brother.
[07:29:25] The force of that fart was so powerful that he reached lift off, bro.
[07:29:36] What?
[07:29:37] That's independent.
[07:29:40] Now on Iran and the NDA.
[07:29:44] Look at him.
[07:29:45] Look at him lifting up.
[07:29:48] No audio.
[07:29:49] Just look at him.
[07:29:50] Look at him.
[07:29:51] Lift off.
[07:29:52] Bro, old people just do this shit.
[07:29:56] I swear to God, they give no fucks.
[07:29:59] I mean, I guess, yeah, I saw, I saw, test your lettuce, you guys.
[07:30:10] Hey, hey.
[07:30:13] The American people need to know, of course, how and why this chaos is spreading through
[07:30:18] the streets and we need a complete investigation that's independent. Now on Iran and the NDAA.
[07:30:32] Never consider how much that room must smell like farts. Yeah, it's all a bunch of fucking
[07:30:36] geriatrics who have no control over their bowel movements. What do you mean?
[07:30:41] It's probably piss shit in farts as all it is.
[07:30:48] Braap when all the Trump administration can say about his disastrous war with Iran is that Vietnam was worse?
[07:30:57] A point Trump made yesterday. It's funny that he's like he fucking
[07:31:02] He fucking let that toot out and he starts smiling. You fucking piece of shit
[07:31:10] That's so funny. He's like, yep, I ripped it
[07:31:15] I ripped it bro
[07:31:18] wow wow that's crazy yes I know Bernie AOC and Abdullah canvassing for
[07:31:28] William Lawrence is upcoming weekend this Sunday Bernie Sanders AOC and
[07:31:32] I'll say they're joining us in Lansing for a rally and to kick off our biggest
[07:31:36] canvass yes sign up to knock doors with us after the rally and help show that
[07:31:40] Michigan 7 will be decided by grassroots people power they're really they
[07:31:45] They fucking hate this guy bro. They hate William so much. William is one of the founders
[07:31:51] of the sunrise movement, which obviously plenty of people hate the sunrise movement as well.
[07:31:57] He's super cool. I like him a lot. He's actually the front runner in this race. And it's really
[07:32:02] interesting because it's like a more conservative district. And not only is he a front runner
[07:32:07] in the Democratic primaries, but he's also the best candidate to beat the Republican
[07:32:11] there too. And Democrats have seen this as, Democrats have basically looked at William
[07:32:19] Lorz's race as a real threat.
[07:32:23] Not a real threat because he's gonna lose to the Republican, but a real threat because
[07:32:27] he's gonna flip that seat that he's going to, he's gonna defeat the Republican. They're
[07:32:33] very worried that it just straight up directly contradicts, it straight up directly contradicts
[07:32:40] the establishment liberal mentality that like all woke people who are left populace can't ever win
[07:32:50] purple districts is fucking bullshit. Of course, the reason why I'm saying that,
[07:32:55] the reason why I'm saying that establishment are, the establishment Democrats are very
[07:32:58] frustrated is because Senator Lisa Slotkin endorsed Matt Mosdem in the crowded primary
[07:33:03] for her old seat. This is big. Many D sphere progressive William Loris will win the primary
[07:33:08] and cost them. But establishment deeds are split between Mozdom and Bridget Brink creating a path
[07:33:13] for Lawrence. Yeah, these motherfuckers for the longest time were like go win in purple districts,
[07:33:21] go win in red districts, and then now there's a guy who can do that. Now there's a guy who can do
[07:33:27] that. And they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, no, no, stop. We will do everything in our power
[07:33:32] to make sure you don't fucking win that district. Will Lawrence has accomplished more on the
[07:33:39] issues than Amproc claims to stand for than Neera Tanden. If Cap's board wasn't stacked
[07:33:44] with genocide dares like Tony Blinken, it maybe would ask why its CEO keeps attacking
[07:33:47] folks who are going to be incredibly effective mo c's
[07:33:55] who vetted this guy daniel marat fight agency
[07:34:02] i like that that's the new meta they're like everyone's platner actually
[07:34:08] they can't say every fucking bernie uh bernie cratt is a rapist because they
[07:34:13] would get sued into fucking oblivion but that's pretty much where we're going
[07:34:16] at this point. They're just going to start falsely accusing people of rape because there
[07:34:21] was a real rapist in the main race.
[07:34:27] Smirritanden. The only reason progressive struggle in a purple and red district is because
[07:34:38] a 2v1? Yes. You won't guess who the Libs had on their Hassanbad podcast this week? Let's
[07:34:49] see what the Libs are doing and who their guest is this week. Remembering Lindsey Graham,
[07:34:52] Charlie Kirk with Magdy Jacobs? No! My queen! They had Magdy Jacobs on? That's fucking awesome.
[07:35:04] Hell yeah. Hell yes, dude. She's the best. She is honestly the best. The eagerness of
[07:35:14] the pro-Israel crowd to link Plattner scandal to Abdul Shuli Repulsive, but it was also
[07:35:18] an entirely predictable and powered by a week-long self-flagellation on here. No coincidence.
[07:35:22] The L-Said supporters, oh yeah, I mean, this is Josh Kraushar. Who the hell is Magdy Jacobs?
[07:35:31] She's the one who was like, Hassan Piker reminds me of my ex-husband, Grant Platter reminds
[07:35:39] me of my ex-husband.
[07:35:40] I assume she's now saying Abdel El Sayed, reminds her of her ex-husband.
[07:35:44] I don't know, she's divorced.
[07:35:48] She's the first divorced dad on the woman's side.
[07:35:52] She's also super pro-Israel, which is not surprising, right?
[07:35:57] Did you see this about Michigan?
[07:35:58] Emily's list refused to endorse a pro-choice woman because she's pro-Palestine. Yes, I did see that.
[07:36:03] Emily's list, whole ethos is electing pro-choice women in 2022.
[07:36:08] They spent millions, defeat progressive representative Andy Levin and elect Haley Stevens, the Michigan's 11th, huh?
[07:36:16] Have it?
[07:36:17] Have it?
[07:36:19] In 2022, they spent millions to defeat progressive rep Andy Levin, who is Jewish, by the way,
[07:36:25] And elect Haley Stevens, who is not Jewish, but pro-Israel, to Michigan's 11th.
[07:36:31] Just remember that.
[07:36:32] APAC literally dumped boat loads of cash into that race to make sure that a Israel critical,
[07:36:39] progressive Jew would not get elected into that seat.
[07:36:43] Instead, they got this person.
[07:36:45] Israel comes to me in my dreams.
[07:36:47] And to that I say, what gives?
[07:36:51] Now that the seat is once again up for grabs, and the only pro-Trace woman is also pro-Palestine,
[07:36:55] They are absent. Yeah. You fuck-a-sexes, you're erasing the divorce,
[07:37:05] Hagalina, by not calling Matt, Maggie, Maj, G, G, G, Jacobs that. Okay, I'm done though.
[07:37:13] I'm done for the day. I am going to go to dinner with the fam. Okay?
[07:37:25] I'm going to dinner with the fam. I love you guys. I will see you tomorrow
[07:37:28] I'm actually I might be doing something with Chris Rabb. We're trying to figure it out right now
[07:37:37] But wait hold on
[07:37:41] No
[07:37:55] Gaming frogs are being impressed, yes.
[07:38:00] Anyway, are you in Michigan tomorrow? No, I'm not. I'm not in Michigan tomorrow.
[07:38:04] I might be doing something with Chris Rav here tomorrow.
[07:38:07] I gotta figure that out. Love you guys. Peace.
