But I really want is whether it's social media influencers or Twitch, YouTube, Hassan, Piker, or other kind of promoters.
The second place for Hassan, Piker!
We must always maintain revolutionary optimism.
We must always continue to organize.
We must always continue to agitate because the quicker we can create enough pressure
that causes the American state to re-calculate its soon-attacked with Israel,
the quicker we can save as many Palestinian lives possible.
What's going on, everybody? I hope everyone's having a fantastic evening, afternoon, pre-noon,
no matter where you are in the world. I'm Hasan Piker and this is Hasan I'm broadcast
coming to you live from sunny California. Los Angeles folks were live and alive and
I hope all the boys, girls and MBS are having a fantastic one because today's a beautiful
day. Today's a wonderful day. Today is Monday, five days out from my 35th birthday. Ladies
and gentlemen, it is Monday, news day. And you already know what's up. I'm a son, Piker,
this thoughts on our broadcasts. Why is Spencer Pratt obsessed with your mouth clip law? I
don't know, but it's awesome. Who cares? Let these guys chirp, chirp, chirp, who, who gives
the shit anyway. Ladies and gentlemen, boys, girls, and MBS, it's Monday Newsday. We got
some serious issues, specifically some serious issues with the federal government, obviously,
and a lot more. We got the war, which we will be talking about as well. And in any case,
ladies and gentlemen, boys, girls and MBS, we'll get into all of that and more. But before
I do that. Let me start off by simply telling you my personal news. And you might have,
you might have realized by now that I don't really have much personal news because I'm
a shut ass loser. Okay, you already know I'm a shut ass loser. No personal news whatsoever.
was it? The Odyssey was incredible. Okay. Well, you know, keep that shit to yourself,
friendo. Okay, buddy boy. Let me tell you something. Okay. I want to go see the fucking
Odyssey is 70 millimeter IMAX, but unfortunately, unfortunately, the criminal, the criminal
disgusting monstrous piece of shit Nolan has made it so that he filmed it and released it
it on cameras that are too costly,
that is where there's like eight fucking theaters
in the country where you can actually watch it
in the way that the auteur wanted us to consume it.
It's actually insane to do that.
He is such a piece of shit.
And I hope, I hope nobody forgives him for that.
Okay, I hope nobody forgives him for that.
dog there are literally like 70 total movie theaters capable of showing it and it's hilarious because
there the there are certain movie theaters where you go and because the burn rate is so high the
projector overheats the projector over fucking heats so because it's not designed for a three hour
feature film and just for like 40 minute documentaries, the projectors over here, so then you could
potentially be one of the lucky few.
You could be one of the lucky few that actually puts the money down, is waiting in long lines
on the internet trying to fucking figure it out, trying to figure out if you have some
time to watch and you're like, you're at the, you're at the 12 AM showing and it's packed
And you get into the movie theater and then it just overheats and now you're cooked. You can't even watch it. I mean, what do you do?
Every time I see the two different like side by side shots of the giant men and you can't see their fucking heads.
You can only see their heads in IMAX movie theaters and you can't, you can only see their
heads in the IMAX movie theater, you can't see their heads, it's cut off.
Is that real?
Is that actually real or is that fake news?
Because that actually soured me on the entire franchise, okay?
That unironically soured me on the entire process.
It is real?
unacceptable. I would have to travel multiple states away to see it in 70 millimeter. Yeah,
dog, we live. So excuse me, maybe because we're not British, Christopher Nolan doesn't
understand how things work in this country. There are entire neighborhoods, states where
there are very few hospitals, let alone a 70 millimeter IMAX theater, okay?
For regular folk living in the countryside, for the country bumpkins, they are not gonna
be able to experience this.
And even in the fucking cities, there aren't that many IMAX movie theaters anyway that
can show it. Don't suppose you've seen the Twitter lighting up that clip of you sarcastically
supporting Mao and saying that you wish for the same of the world of famine and death.
Yes, that's what Mao Zedong is famous for. And that's what I like about him. I, my policy
is famine and death. I hate, I hate sparrows, okay? I'm like, you know, when I, when I talk
about Mao Zedong, I love talking about the five pests and I love talking about how I
think the cultural revolution was awesome. So I'm glad that they're, you know, people
are locked in on, on the sincerely held policy prescriptions that I have for the American
five pest campaign that I will be implementing. Anyway, y'all don't deserve a movie. You're
gonna complain about this. Nolan has saved the film industry. We're lucky to have him.
I mean, I won't lie. I won't lie to you. I won't lie to you. This shit looks bomb. It
looks so fucking sick. It's kind of annoying how sick it looks. It's also doubly awesome
because the Republicans were like chirping. All the right-wing sloppies were like, this
socks. There are black people in the movie. Like, there are, there is a transgender man
in the movie. Why? And it's like, dude, first of all, first of all is fake. Okay? It's fake.
Newsflash, it's made up. Okay? So people have their own interpretations of this kind of thing.
Okay? That's what Nolan is doing. So I just need you to understand something. Cyclops don't exist
in the real world. I don't want you to freak out. But Cyclops don't fucking exist in the
real world. It's fake. Okay, he's a fictional story. You're a fucking idiot.
Anyway, God, I got so much more to talk about. What about John Federman? Two eyes,
Two eyes, spiritually ogre, spiritually and ogre, but two eyes, if you haven't noticed,
he looks like he could be a cyclops, but he's not, he has two fucking eyes.
Odyssey breaks records and hog brains.
Trump defends BB over arrest, meta, war is on.
Let me talk about that. Three troops killed since MOU. Situation monitor, Houthis join
the battle. Michigan heats up. Make sure to meet it coming after insurgents. Get in now.
www.twitch.tv slash Hassanabi. I have the privilege and opportunity to meet Toby Dobby
in my hometown of South Dakota tomorrow, do I take it or do I let it slip? What do you mean?
Never have we ever seen a more pivotal figure in American politics and you have the opportunity
to be around him, smell him. You have the opportunity to be in his, to be in a shine,
you know, as the, as the, as the beautiful South Dakota sunlight bounces off his, his sweaty skin.
in. And you're asking me if you should take that opportunity. There is no greater opportunity.
You should be thanking God every day that you live in the beautiful nation state of beautiful
nation state, the beautiful state of South Dakota and not the gross state of North Dakota.
Okay. Anyway, where the fuck? Do we get some bless up means or what? Is this how it feels
watching the Odyssey in a regular theater. Yes, bro. Yes. This is what it, this is what
it looks like. That's actually a really funny meme. You got a blast off meme for me. I already
got that one. Chance's pooped pants. You're right is costly and time consuming to set
up. Yes. It's crazy. It's mind boggling. I mean, he's on his auteur shit, okay? That's
what he is. He's on his auteur shit. He's always done this, obviously. And there are
certain elements that Nolan's like, meant Nolan mindset that I obviously agree with.
Okay, there's certain, there's certain takes that, that Christopher Nolan, like certain
things that he does that I agree with like his no CGI mentality, no CGI unless it's like absolutely
necessary. Like that, that's brilliant. I think that's awesome. That I do, that I support 100%.
What I don't support is the fact that he's deaf and also seemingly is on a mission to
make everybody else deaf. Though that's something that I don't support. I love practical effects.
I hate the fact that he is absolutely hell bent on making sure that anyone who fucking watches the movies
in
In a movie theater is going to go deaf and have the exact same type of deafness that he has
Okay
So that's important. Uh, I don't like that. I also don't like how convoluted some of his
scripting is, okay? There are instances where he just goes all over the place.
There's obviously a lot of inspiration he's drawn from other, you know, other
franchises, other movies, and, you know, people point to that all the time, and I
think there's, you know, there's inspiration, and then there's, there's
inspiration, there's adaptation, and then there's just yonking, and I think he does
a little bit of the yawing king, okay? But you mean Paprika and Inception? Yes, of course,
that's what I'm talking about. But overall, at what point do we call a creative theft?
Nolan is going to be so mad at you when he lip reads what you said about him. Yeah, I just,
I find it odd, but I'll be honest. I'll be honest. I'll be honest, okay?
Okay. Yeah. Spencer Pratt's been losing his mind over me and DSA watch too. Uh, we'll,
we'll get to that with the melsey dong stuff. Um,
so cute, a Hassan Abihed family. Shout out to the Hassan Abihed and mom.
When you're watching us on piker and then you see your son in the background,
I don't say much about CJ's adventure,
but sometimes just can't hold back how proud I am of who he's becoming. Oh,
That's sick. That's awesome. Also, the shot-for-shot remix of Heat by Michael Mann in The Dark
Night, yes. I mean, that one is like, that one you could, okay, listen, the Michael
Mann Heat versus Dark Night, like that one you could, at least, I guess you could kind
say it's not like identical, it's not a carbon copy. It's a, I don't know. I just, that, that's
homage. That's, that, that you can say is like respect. It's one of the most iconic,
you know, it's kind of like this. If I were to say, you know, if I were to say, I have a dream
that one day people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but the content of their
character, like no one is gonna think I'm like I invented that. You know what I mean? No one is
gonna think I invented that statement. Everyone knows exactly what I'm pointing to, right?
No one's gonna be like, oh, who saw I'm like, you're, you, you fucking yanked that statement.
You, you yanked that quote from, from Martin Luther King is like, no, it's very clearly,
like that is such a, that is such an iconic and impactful statement that has been repeated over
and over again that like I feel as though the Michael Mann heat versus dark night is
in that category. Whereas like that is that shot, like all those shots from the bank robbery
is so iconic that you can see that as a reference. You can see that as an homage.
Whereas, who's MLK? I've only heard you say that. Yeah, the world you're looking for is plagiarism. I know, I know, but there's a difference. Like, there are certain things that transcend beyond plagiarism when something is, like, so clearly pointed in one direction.
That's why I think the Paprika one is, like, more egregious.
Yeah, the Ocura slide. The Ocura slide is very clearly from Ocura. And yet, so many
other movies now have that Ocura slide, the classic bike is on the verge of falling, turn
around. Everybody knows where that comes from. That is homage. Okay? The Ocura slide is an
homage to Ocura, everybody understands where that actually originated. Whereas, yeah, when
you put that in, everybody understands that that's a tribute. Whereas I think the purpiger
comparison is a little bit more egregious because it's like fucking shot for shot, right?
In any case, in any case, that's, you know, that's some of the thoughts I have on Odyssey
that I haven't even gotten to see yet because it's fucking annoying the way that this asshole has
you know shot his movies and the and and he he wants to have a classic architects and movie
directors have the god complex and I totally understand that because like what is what is the
greatest god complex then to demand that people see your movie in the way that you intended okay
Okay, one can make the argument that forcing people to watch it in theater in the day in the day and age of streamers is like is is already exhausting that because there's so many different available options.
I understand that by the way I do think that I do think that watching it in movie theaters. I do think that watching a movie in a movie theater is is a is a beautiful experience.
too much of a fucking boomer. Maybe I'm too much of an onk. Okay, you know, get it out
of your system. Call me old if you want. I do believe that we should be going to movie
theaters. We should be going to and sharing experiences together. I wish we could do more
of that. I think it's a way to, it's a foundational aspect of human existence as a social animal.
I feel like we've lost touch with that side. So, uh, yeah, I'm ableist on that front straight
up. Um, I, I love movie theaters and I want to support movie theaters. Shout out to the
Alamo draft house. Shout out to the Alamo union. Many Hassanabi has in that union. Um,
yeah, it's good. Red letter media do not be fucking with the modern theater experience.
So I don't be, I mean, there's obviously a lot of elements of the modern movie theater
experiences dog shit, it's true. You know, you got to you got to get like a Disney fastpass to
get fucking a bucket of popcorn. They also sell burgers now, which is wild. And then you have the
the sit down dining meal theaters that you can go to as well is just like, yeah, and then and then
the movie itself is like, you know, however much it is. But then the with the bucket of popcorn,
and maybe a fucking burger or a hot dog or a bag of Skittles, the price point goes up
to like 500 bucks. All of a sudden you're like, am I buying a Gucci purse or am I fucking
going to a goddamn movie? It is what it is. Now you're standing in line for 25 to 35 minutes
to get your bucket of popcorn. It's all a part of the experience. It's all a part of
the experience. You can't have a meal at a theater. It's weird. I do kind of agree with
that too. Controversial take. I like the optionality that exists. But, but yeah, I, I, you know,
I'm not a purist. I'm not a purist. I've done it. I did it. When we went to see Barbie,
I went to one of those dine-in movie theaters and I, and I enjoyed it. I had, you know,
Nuggets like chicken tenders one of them AMC Dine-in theaters. I think it was in Glendale or some
And uh
Crispy chicken tacos at theaters slap. Yeah, I've I've heard
I've heard good things when movies being three hours long it makes it more a more appealing option. Yeah
But all I will say all I will say about Christopher Nolan is this I got my opinions on the guy
I have shared them throughout the year is a lot of fucking you know people who love calling movies
film use him as an entry point to claim that they have their their actual like they claim
that they have like a real artistic approach to this stuff. And it's like, dude, he's still
making like blockbuster hits. Okay. He's not making silent, you know, uh, uh, black and
white cinema in the year 2026 of our holy Lord. Okay. He's making blockbuster, f**k
of movies. If you're calling, uh, if you're calling them phillum, but then also simultaneous
to being like, this is the guy, you guys simply don't have the, the mentality. You don't have
the, you don't have the background to understand Christopher Nolan, then you're a little bit
silly. Like you're, it's obviously not, it's obviously not Marvel, right? It's obviously not Marvel.
But it's not exactly an art house flick either. Okay. So
So that's all I got on that front.
I just like movies.
I like movies.
I like watching movies.
I watch dog shit movies.
I like Christopher Nolan's movies.
I love movies.
I really do.
It's one of the only things that connects me to the average normie human being.
It's like one of the shared experiences that I can have.
I love anime.
I love manga.
I love reading.
I love watching movies and and he makes good fucking movies.
All right.
He makes good movies.
Your last human trait.
Yes.
Do you like acting too?
Or is it more the overall art?
I mean, I acting is fine.
Yes.
I mean, I like the overall art.
I like it all.
I like the experience. I like the experience of going to the movie theater. I like the, this is
one of the last, this is also one of the last like shared global experiences that we can have,
so I guess that's part of the reason why I'm just like holding on to it with
with as much desperation as possible because nowadays we don't have obviously consensus
reality.
We don't have a shared reality and we don't have shared experiences.
So things like the World Cup are great for that.
Things like in America, the Super Bowl is great for that as well.
Everyone is doing the same thing.
And I think it's important for all of us, it's important for all of us to sometimes
do the same thing, you know, even if we're not super entertained by it. That's why I,
I try to get into the mood with the World Cup to the best of my ability. And, and, you
know, and movies are a great way to do that as well. So I, I, you know, one day we're
going to miss it one day when it's gone. We will look back at these experiences fondly.
How do you feel about what Odysseus Greek did to Troy, modern-day Turkey?
I don't want to talk about that.
Those wounds will never heal, okay?
Everybody knows, everybody knows Troy is in Turkey.
Actually, I don't know if people know that.
It's in modern-day Turkey, so we own that shit, okay?
A lot of people will say, oh, how dare you?
Those are, those are, you know, uh, original ancient Greek, uh, people.
It's like, no, those are, that's us.
We own that, uh, that was way before the Turks.
It doesn't matter if it's on modern Turkish land, it's Turkish.
Okay.
That's it.
Those are the rules.
Sorry.
Uh, uh, my mom came in and said Homer, Matt.
born outside of Izmir. Also Turkish, just some facts, okay? Just some facts for you guys
to comprehend, to understand that a lot of this stuff that people say is Greek technically
may or may not be considered Turkish. Umat, you can take the Turk out of the nation,
but you can't take the nation out of the Turk. No. No. My ancient Greek relatives are rolling
in their grace for me just hearing this. All I'm saying is, Omed, which is a Turkish name as well.
Yeah.
Let the streamers sparse online far so no more over speech to college Dems and
and mouse style suit. They're communists. Yeah. His name was Omeros. I'm sorry. You're
saying his name is Omer, right? That's what you're saying. Omer, Omeros, Turkish name,
Arabic name, just saying. Where was Homedos born? Oh, that's right, on Turkish soil outside
of Yizmir. Another point for Turkish, as someone also pointed out in the chat. Homer, very
critical of the Greeks? Who else is very critical of the Greeks? The Turks. That's right.
Think. Think about that.
No, make this argument about Israel.
I will not, I will not be doing that. Okay. Also, I'm mostly joking because I know all
the Greeks are going to get fucking pissed off for me saying that you will never be the
table. Keep coping. We will be the table. Once again, we will be the table. Once again.
Okay?
Have you heard about the Odyssey boycott democracy now featured?
We should be against all occupations.
I have no idea what that is.
But in any case, J Street, your Singapore segments have finally altered my TikTok logo.
Look at what I just got.
You see a man robbing someone in public and you're confident you can't stop him.
But here's the question.
When you, just a regular ordinary person, actually make an arrest, under Singapore law, yes,
you could make a citizen arrest, but only under an extremely specific condition.
It's called an arrest by a private person and here's when it's legal.
One is if you personally witness a crime taking place, and two is if the crime is serious,
and it's called an arrestable and non-bailable offense.
This includes things such as robbery, rape, kidnapping, causing grievous hurt with a weapon.
There are also special cases where you can act if the crime is committed against you
or your property, but only if the offender refuses to give a valid name or address or
gives false details.
Another situation is if a person is wanted under a warrant of arrest, but is in hiding.
In that situation, a private citizen may be allowed to help arrest them, but here's what
you must know.
You cannot use excessive force.
If the offender is seriously hurt, even if you've done this unintentionally, you yourself
could face serious legal consequences, including prosecution. A real case happened in the past
involving members public who detained a person who was taking upskirt with you. This person
later got extremely hurt and suffered injuries. While no force was found to be excessive,
the case highlighted how risky citizens arrests can be, especially when medical emergencies
or stress come into play. So what do you do after making a decision?
I'mma be honest, I've never seen a guy so drippy. What is going on in the beautiful
beautiful nation state of Singapore, man. This guy's got an incredible fit, he's got
an incredible look.
He can hand the person over to the police or bring them to the nearest privy station
without any delay. If it turns out that the person didn't commit a crime and you wrongly
arrested them, you could sometimes be sued or even charged. So what's the bottom line?
The law allows this, but it's not always the safest.
Anyway, good to know, good to know what kind of legal options we have in the beautiful
nation state of Singapore. Yeah, that's cool. Anyway, where was I? Where was I? All right,
we blasted off. So we're going to talk about Odyssey real quick. We're going to get started
on Odyssey real quick. And then we'll talk about the numerous controversies I'm embroiled in
all the way from the federal government, the state department yelling about my Cuba trip still
And what they're probably trying to do, because ironically enough, we're joking about like
more Pegaslop and Pegasus in the beautiful city-state of Singapore getting arrested.
But like there's a very real, you know, not joking, but very real and sincere effort,
I think being made by the current American government to
jam up as many people as possible.
And, and possibly start prosecuting like democratic socialists of America
and, and claim that it's a front group for foreign intervention, all this stuff.
It's really, really frustrating.
We'll, we'll obviously figure it out. But yeah, yeah, State Department targets the Sompiker,
Ian Omar's daughter, and DSA, a new State Department report on Cuba goes after American
citizens on the left. Yeah, my, my suspicion is, my suspicion is they're, they're like,
well, I'll give you two opinions here. Okay. One is I think the State Department doesn't
have like a domestic terror statute, they can't do it because first amendment violations.
So they're trying to say, oh, this is foreign intervention. That's why we have to arrest
people because they're getting paid by foreign governments to intervene in American affairs.
This is not like an American born demand. This is an outsider coming in and like trying to
fuck up American politics by promoting concepts like socialism, which are very dangerous, right?
So that's like kind of a loophole for them to crack open the door to violate the First Amendment,
to destroy the First Amendment, and go after critics of the American government, go after
critics of Donald Trump. That's definitely something that I have been warning about,
and that's something that they have a lot of interest in doing. It's very clear. This is,
you know, Mahmood Khalil was another great example. This is, well, they're trying to exhaust.
First, they are trying to exhaust the First Amendment. This is a test bubble, right? They're
trying to see if they can ship away at the First Amendment, first with non-citizens,
then with citizens. And this is another aspect of it. But before we get to that, Odyssey,
let's finish off the Odyssey story, because I was still chirping about Christopher Nolan.
I'm not done yet.
It was an epic box office weekend for the Odyssey.
Christopher Nolan's take on Homer's ancient Greek poem brought in.
Listen to this figure.
Two hundred and sixty million dollars worldwide.
That's huge.
Easily surpassing other movies on a planet.
Adriana Diaz has more.
The Odyssey stormed the box office over the weekend with this year's biggest.
Have the hogs missed their mark this hard before?
I think it was like, at least with Baldur's Gate,
at least with Baldur's Gate,
they weren't like as chirpy about the gay stuff in it.
So they knew better, they shut the fuck up.
But this one, they positioned this as like a major flop.
Elon Musk was actively utilizing Twitter
and the Twitter algo to aggressively go after
the odyssey and how bad it was going to be, how the odyssey was going to suck, people
were going to hate it, they were going to oppose it because it's woe, Christopher Nolan
is being woe, he made Helen and Troy black, he put Elliot Page in the movie, these are
unacceptable things, you can't do that, all this stuff.
And now of course I have many different opinions on this. Number one, this is a fake story
And this is obviously Christopher Nolan's own interpretation of an already fictional story.
So what's it to you, dumbass?
That's number one.
Number two.
These people were not even like they weren't even prominent fixtures of the movie.
It wouldn't even be a problem if they were.
But who cares?
Like most people just don't care about this stuff.
Most people don't care about this stuff.
They're exhausted.
They have outrage fatigue.
The the right-wing mobs have gotten to the same point that I think of the peak woke
Left movements had gotten to we're past that point actually where people are just like enough dude
Let me fucking enjoy something you're constantly up my asshole
Enough is enough right?
I think the real problem they should have had is not even the western Sahara occupied territory
and the demands for boycott but the fact that they did not acknowledge that Omer is Turkish,
born in Izmir and also Troy is Turkish as well and this is like you know seen as this great
It's great Greek play when it's like clearly it's actually a great Turkish masterpiece and I don't I think it's really fucked up
So a lot of people are not talking about that, but that's my own personal thing. You know, this is Anatolia, right?
This is Anatolia where Turkey is
and
Important to recognize that obviously, but we're just gonna
We're just not you know, we're not gonna
It's fine. That's just a me thing, I guess. You know, I guess nobody cares about that,
but we'll talk about the Western Sahara thing too. I didn't realize that there was parts
of the movie that were filmed in Western Sahara. And no, I'm not going to watch the 10 minute
I'd rather read an article on it either, well I'd rather read an article on it.
Live action domestic opening, yet, if this king is coming back.
No he's not.
The film, the first commercial feature shot entirely in IMAX, raked in more than 264 million
dollars worldwide.
Battle and glory, strength and honor, action!
A majority of ticket buyers cited director Christopher Nolan as their primary reason to
see the movie according to post track. I will say this also Christopher Nolan objectively
more right wing than most other major directors. Perhaps one of the more right wing major directors,
which is really funny because like the right are so repulsive and so racist that they are
kind of pushing him to come across as a liberal. He's not a liberal like he is a very conservative
director. As far as fucking directors goes, he might be out of the major directors. He
might literally be the most conservative. How? I don't know. Have you seen Dark Knight?
Please rewatch Batman and tell me how that is not objectively a right wing movie. Okay?
The enemies are literally like socialist, communist, terrorist.
What are you talking about?
The enemies are objectively tailored as like anarchists.
Of course he's not Taylor Sheridan.
Taylor Sheridan is like not just not just like a center, right?
Taylor Sheridan is like right wing in the American sense.
But, but I mean Oppenheimer was like, Oppenheimer made me reconsider that stance a little bit,
even though there's obviously a decent amount of conservatism that he has, but it's clear
that he's just like he, he let the, he let the real world incidents speak for themselves.
But, you know, I think if you look at some of his other work, like it's clear that there
is...
And he definitely has some right wing takes.
a film industry research service.
It's Christopher Nolan, how can you not be excited for a Christopher Nolan film?
The second reason, the film's all-star cast, which includes Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland,
Zendaya, and Matt Damon as Odysseus.
Damon spoke to us about the exhilarating but demanding shoot which stretched across
six different countries.
How intense did it get?
Well it was the hardest movie.
One of the funniest parts about this, if you guys remember, if you're...I guess if
old enough in like the early 2016 era, when like Gamergate was popping off, but like Woke
was starting to make a develop a foothold in American culture.
One of the arguments that right wingers constantly presented was that woke lefties don't have
respect for the classics, okay? Woke lefties don't want to teach people about the classics.
They don't want, they don't want people to learn about the classes, the ancient Greek,
they were white, and therefore this is Shakespeare, you don't wanna learn about that.
You shouldn't learn about Shakespeare, Shakespeare was a colonizer.
No one should learn about the Odyssey, no one should learn about Homer.
That was the idea that right wingers were trying to, incept, the right wingers were
trying to invoke the, this claim that leftists were very much against, woke SJWs were very
much against the learning about the odyssey, right? Now, of course, this was never true, but
this was never a real thing.
However, in the last decade, in the last decade, the right has moved into the column of illiteracy
and now see stupidity as not a vice, but a virtue where they wear it on their sleeve
or they're like, yeah, I'm a dumb guy.
That means I'm a real one.
Yeah, I'm hateful.
That means I'm real.
You should be too.
We've moved so far beyond, we've moved so far beyond like any interest on the right for literacy that they're just straight up freaking the fuck out over this.
Instead of recognizing this as like, you know, educating the new generation on this epic, on this classic that like people need to learn about, instead of, instead of highlighting that, you know.
What a great story about defying the gods or whatever, right?
Like, instead of taking that approach, they have decided that because they're illiterate
racists that this, yeah, otherwise small sea conservative classic is actually bad.
Why is it bad? Because there's a three minutes and 54 seconds of a black woman in, in Epic.
And also because there's a trans man in it too. And that's, that's unacceptable. It's
a bridge too far.
Yeah. I mean, Ben Shapiro is at least fucking smart enough to understand this. Whereas many
right-wingers have moved super, super far past that point. They don't give a s**t, right?
Ben Shapiro, I wanted to hold my opinion on the Odyssey until I'd seen it. I know,
weird. So here it is. It's a grand spectacle for the fascinating moral core. It's extraordinary.
Also, actors shouldn't have said dad. And the Casca Elliott page, the pebble in the shoe,
irritating and bothersome and unnecessary. All my thoughts here, including Zendaya and Lupita,
takes, check it out. Yeah.
So, is this because Ben goes, well, no, it's because Ben is of a dying breed. Ben is a hate
Monger. Ben is a horrible ultra-sionist, a bad guy in every way, shape, or form. However,
Ben Shapiro is literate. And that is why a lot of people hate him. A lot of people,
a lot more people hate him because of his Israel take, certainly. But he is a theater
kid through and through. And not only that, but he's also fucking literate. This is not
defense of Ben Shapiro, I despise him, I oppose him every step of the way, there is perhaps nothing,
nothing that Ben Shapiro and I agree on. Having said that, however,
I can still recognize that he is a literate human being, and he has like at least some level of
culture, which should imply that he knows better, but he does not, seemingly.
Educated people being hateful is much worse. Yes and no, because it also doesn't
matter because the right have moved beyond the need for educated hate mongers. They don't want
that they just want someone who's a mouth breather. They want an asmen goal. They want someone who is
a dumb guy who openly admits that he's a dumb guy. They want relatability.
They want relatability. They don't have aspirational goals anymore. In like the, in a decade ago,
they had aspirational goals. Who would they hype up? They would hype up Jordan Peterson. They would
hype up Ben Shapiro. They would try to behave in that way where they're like, oh, we're right
right-wingers, but we're also intelligent right-wingers,
and we're gonna destroy you in the marketplace of ideas.
They don't have that anymore.
They don't want that anymore.
They want Joe Rogan, they want aspirational,
or they don't even want aspirational no longer.
It was first intellectual aspirational goals,
then it was material aspirational goals,
like all of the wealth and the women that wanna fuck you,
this hyper machismo with Andrew Tate,
and now it's relatability.
They're looking for someone who is a lump in pearl in the exact same way that they are,
who has made it.
That's all this is.
That's why that's why that is how I describe the rise of the likes of Asmongold.
Bro, Asmold, again, going an hour long tirade about you pulling up an immigrant with like
10 links to Destiny's Reddit.
Very coordinated.
Who gives a fuck?
him chirp, buddy. I have the federal government after me. You think I give a shit about Asmin
Gold coming after me? Who gives a fuck? Who cares about that nasty little freak?
I got multiple, multiple governments coming after me.
Asmengold should be licking his wounds over this Odyssey take.
He farmed outrage on Odyssey.
So goddamn hard.
Okay.
Nonstop.
He did nonstop homers rolling in his grave.
The Odyssey is over after this.
The whole internet rejected this Hollywood is panicking.
$2.5 million, right? And now it's a major hit. And what, when it became a, when, right
before it released, when critics were calling it a masterpiece, he said this, I don't think
it's a great thing that critics are able to preemptively manufacture a consensus on media
like this, especially when this movie has so many hot button social issues tied into
what the critics refuse to address.
Critics now offer propaganda rather than insight. Bitch, you did that. You're just chirping
because you couldn't succeed. They tried to gamergate the Odyssey. They tried to gamergate
Christopher Nolan. You can't fucking gamergate Christopher Nolan. He's obviously one of
the most famous directors of our generation. It's so stupid.
He said dollars instead of views. Oh my bad
Yeah
It's kind of funny that they did they did this so yeah, he should worry about that stuff
I've ever done
It felt in a lot of ways more like an expedition than a movie because of the locations we were at
You know, we'd be shooting on top of the mountain
We'd have to hike up the mountain to shoot and that part of it ended up being really fun because it was challenging for everybody there
The film is also declaring victory with critics receiving an A grade on cinema score exit polls and 95% on Rotten Tomatoes
Momentum is only expected to continue with Oscar the Rotten Tomatoes score is just so stupid to like
I'm sorry. It's just
out of all of the different ways of out of all the different rating systems that exist
I think rotten tomatoes is probably the worst one because it literally doesn't tell you anything
that's not 97 on on rotten tomatoes is not that doesn't mean that it's like actually fucking
you know all of the critics are giving it a hundred percent
It's on the biggest hater of art. No, it's come on. This is like at the coldest of takes. I mean, seriously
Yeah, it just means that 97% means that like a lot of people gave it a
You can get a 97% if you got every critic saying it's a 60 every critic rated it like at a 10 a six out of 10
I'm not saying I'm not saying it's I don't have issues with people who critique art who cares
it's fine I think it's great yeah Ron tomato system is interesting because it's like a thumbs
thumbs down system basically and if like a lot of people are like iffy on it but
then there's enough people who just barely gave it like a passing score then
it's like good then it gets it gets a passing remark basically
anyway I do think it's gonna be one of the epic films of the century without
question and to be part of this right now is just part of history and there's no exaggeration.
You heard me. I used to really like Metacritic especially because it would compile all of the
critics and their overall score and then it would give you a user score but Metacritic
sucks now. So there's no like Metacritic is asked too because it gets fucking bombed.
It gets unbelievable. It's just like the the aggregate score was like a decent way to to arrive at a conclusion ahead of time.
But now you can't even do that. You can't even do that because everybody review bombs.
So goddamn annoying.
I'll say that is no exaggeration.
This marks Christopher Nolan's biggest global opening weekend of all time ahead of Batman's
Dark Knight sequels.
And yes, this is the man who brought us Oppenheimer.
I beat that too.
And ahead in our eight o'clock hour, Gail will talk to Christopher Nolan.
I'm so happy he must feel the same for people to see it.
Now I want to go back and see it again because when I saw it the first time is with critics.
Yes.
I want to see it with an audience audience.
they're hooting and hollering in the big moment at the end,
you know what part I'm talking about where everybody goes
crazy and I just I love experiences.
That's how I feel.
That's how I feel.
I'm bringing us back to theaters and out of our home.
I know.
Movie theaters are back, baby.
Here's a question.
How do you turn one of the most epic stories of all time
into a movie?
Just ask Oscar winning director Christopher Nolan
about that.
latest film, the Odyssey does exactly that. Listen to these stats. It was shot in six countries,
used more than 2 million feet of film, and it's Nolan's biggest debut ever pulling in more than
$260 million worldwide. You go, Mr. Nolan. Matt Damon plays Odis. Yeah, on Metacritic,
he's rated 5.1 on user reviews because they bombed it because there's like black people in it,
and there's a trans man in it. So they fucking bombed the shit out of it. They review bomb the
the shit out of it. So now Metacritic is not a reliable way to figure out how people feel
about it.
He is who struggles to get home after a very long war. He must reunite with his wife that's
Anne Hathaway before she's forced to remarry and faces many obstacles along the way. So
we spoke to the great director who says he still gets nervous even after all his years
of success. But first here's a look at a clip from the movie.
Tell me what you remember.
A life?
A son.
A man.
A woman.
Help me go home.
We're very happy to say Christopher Nolan joins us in the studio. Congratulations. Thank you.
The movie is out. Yeah. People have been watching it. But before it came out, I'm wondering how
you were feeling. Nervous, anxious, excited, because I've seen it twice in two weeks. And all I could
say was I can't wait for people to see it. How are you feeling? The nervous, anxious, excited.
Still. Well, I make films for, for all of you. I hear the movie. They have a scene that claims
the invention of baklava and grease? Okay, dude. Okay, get out of here. Get out of here.
Get the hell out of here. There's no way.
There's no dang way. That's a lie.
It's just for the theater, for the cinema. And so for me, the movie's really not done
until the audience kind of tells me what it is. That's what completes the films. It's exciting,
but it's scary. How is it scary to you based on the body of work that you do? What are you nervous
about in particular with this movie? Well, I think, you know, you're trying to show the audience
something maybe they haven't seen before. Yes. You're trying to... Done. Okay. You've tried to push
the boundaries a little bit. Twitter is unhappy with his recent take here. Man, man, man,
Let him fucking chirp, dude. Yes. Yes. Let them chirp. I mean that was
Who cares who cares fuck Twitter Twitter can suck my left ball and my right ball and my asshole at the same time
Okay, shut the fuck up
That's what I got that's what I got for Twitter Twitter can suck me from the back, okay? Oh
Oh, Twitter said this Twitter said that who cares they do eight of Hitler compilations on their man. Why?
Why are you letting Twitter dictate anything? Yes, it's not even my fucking take
Adri misquoted me and then everybody went crazy over it. I was reading a fucking comment from Lake Mcgroove
Obviously my perspective on whether black people are capable of being homophobic is not you know
I don't I don't think that black people are incapable of being homophobic
I was just saying that the hyper focus on black people being homophobic seems a little strange
Especially considering no one ever talks about white people homophobia. Okay, that's my that's my take. Okay. That's my take
Who cares who gives a shit?
Fuck it. Let him chirp
Let him chirp.
How dare you?
Blaming black women once again.
I mean, I'm not.
I'm not.
I'm not.
I'm just saying, like, it doesn't matter.
talking from the perspective of the leftist community, not in general, Christ. No, it's
just, it's, it's, who cares, man? Who cares? It's, Twitter is the only place where all
of the fucking wokes and all of the Nazis come together and do the exact same thing,
which is I refuse to dig deeper and understand what your perspective is on this issue. I
I am now going to operate off of what I think you said and just start yelling about it, okay?
That's it.
That's it.
Who cares?
And please, Adry, please don't clip this and post it on Twitter and then have all these
people go fucking nutty mode over it, okay, please.
You don't have to clip everything, okay.
You're doing a great job, but sometimes it's okay.
We don't have to like entertain these fights, okay.
She's gonna clip this in and post it on Twitter and then everyone's gonna be like a son is fucking losing his mind
He said he said everyone should eat his dick and balls. Oh my god, but all this shit
Yeah, be nice to her all you have to do is ask nicely she loves you. I'm not being nice. I'm being nice. I'm not being mean
I wasn't being mean
Yes
Anyway
It's happening fuck I know and it's not just happening to Cuba it's happening to your boy, too
This is literally
Something that they're that they're working on and they're gonna try to jam me up with this shit, too is clear
Anyway, who's the zombie you mean to? He is such a douche. What? Dude, I love when guys, when people come in here, and it's like so clear that you're just here to chirp.
He's like, I didn't even know. I already have my mindset. I could possibly agree with what your take is. I didn't even hear it, but I heard like a goddamn animal.
I have listened and I heard you get excited.
The misquoting is
a
The misquoting is because the broader context is not revealed in that conversation. Okay?
That's all it is. That's why it's like it's not technically a misquote. It's just the broader context
And how that will be received if you don't think about that if you don't think about that when you're when you're posting the
Descriptor which is more important than the fucking clip itself because nobody watches the clips
They only read and even then they barely fucking read
Like that summarization is is key. It's the most important elements the most important aspect of
of
The the clip on Twitter and that's what a lot of my haters do and I think Adri does a pretty good job
Doing this a month after Juneteenth is crazy
Like
Like here here's a great example you want to know how shit gets clipped out of comics are we're done with fucking Odyssey
conversation. Okay. Wait, hold on. Oops, that was a play list. Obviously. We're going to get into
situation monitoring in a second. But if you want to understand like how, how there's a, here's a
great example of how like shit gets totally clipped out of context or rather the context itself or
the video itself does not matter. It's totally secondary, right? Here. Everybody, everybody on
Twitter has been losing their minds over this speech, okay? More. Everybody. Shannon Watts,
DSA Watch, they're all like, this guy's wearing a mouse suit. This guy's so cringe. This guy's doing
a Hitler style speech. DSA Watch, which is a, which is a, a, a, a right wing operation.
who knows what they're funded by, but basically, um, this is a right-wing guy from Arizona. I
think he's like a real estate developer that's behind the account from Arizona. He's a Republican
and, and he posts this and says it's run by a Dem. I thought it was run by a form. Was it a former
Republican? I think he's a right-wing guy though. It's very clear that he's a right-wing guy. I mean,
DSA watch is just like clearly a right-wing operation and most likely a Hasbra operation as well.
So, in any case, the Sompiger delivers Hitler-style rant in Mao Zedong's suit. No more. 9.6K likes.
There is no greater indication that no one that was liking that shit actually listened
to what I was saying. No more. Let's take a look at what I was actually saying and you can make
up your mind on whether or not this is a Hitler style speech to Trumpism, but no more to the
Democrats who compromise, who conciliate, and who betray us. No more to the fascist reactionaries,
but no more to the Democrats who will collaborate and cooperate with the fascists,
who will fund ICE, who will fund Israel, who will help poison the planet,
who will stiff workers and help bosses. We don't need those Democrats anymore.
In fact, I know we have a message. We are coming. We are embossed. We're unbought.
we're on bound and we will become undeniable. Thank you.
I mean, no notes. No notes. I think it's great. I think it's a great fucking speech. I will say,
especially the end of it, the second half of it, I get really fired up.
I don't know what this would be considered. I don't know how this could be considered hit
Larry in any way, shape or form. Love the speech, but not gonna lie, you sounded like Dwight Shrut
when he gave that dictator speech. Guys, I don't know if you know this. Dwight Shrut is working
in an office, okay? I am giving a political speech at a political event about politics.
I'm not like working at Scranton, Pennsylvania at a paper plant, okay? I'm giving a fucking political
speech. I saw a lot of people that were like, oh, this is just like Dwight Shrut. It's like,
yeah, the reason why Dwight Shrut is funny in that moment is because he's working for a,
a, you know, paper plant where they make paper and stationaries. Okay, that's why it's silly.
the juxtaposition of him delivering a Mussolini speech. What makes it funny is that juxtaposition.
That's the joke.
Americans only know Brian from Family Guy and Dwight from the office, I know. American burger
brain amaroids unfortunately can't comprehend it anyway so
more pegasus is defending me now more pegasus fan sits the newest on drama even pushing
back on asmongold i will push back a little bit i don't think destiny represents average
people either nobody deserves any kind of iral is that harassment that's just lame and i
disavow it completely oh shit
But anyway, we were talking about like, I know we got sucked into a totally separate
conversation, but yeah, I mean, that's, that's a great example of how like, that's a great
example of how people just don't watch the clip, right?
Shannon Watts did this too.
And Shannon was dressed like Mao and talking about how much he hates the majority of Democrats
and invited guests to college Dems, right?
And, and she's been going extra hard.
She's been going balls to the fucking wall, right?
I
Love you to death this time but the mouth suit isn't it man
I can see people being fearful and it leans heavy into the Fox News
Cockers hit you with the common and stuff also having the old heads believe them nice fitting suit double breasted makes you look like someone old
Head morons love. Yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna stop wearing the Zhong Shan suit. It's not the fucking mouth suit. Okay, it's like
It's it's a it's a Chinese suit. I like it
I'm not gonna stop wearing it. I don't give a shit if people go. Oh, there's the mouse. Who cares?
Who cares?
Yeah, it's it's it's origination doesn't even come from Mao Zedong
obviously Mao Zedong popularized it quite a bit, but it's Sun Yat-sen
who also wore it and
Not only
Not only is it, it's the Zhongshan suit that is like a Chinese style of like merging Eastern and Western aesthetics.
But I also happen to get it tailored when I was in China by the fucking family that invented the suit style, invented that tailoring style.
So, you know, it's got, it has, you know, not only does it look good, but I also like the story behind it as well.
I don't give a shit.
What's it called when you associate an Asian style of clothing with a specific Asian with the implication that it's bad?
I mean, yeah, it's fucking racist, but it doesn't matter.
It's the narrow suit adapted to be more western-facing along with some influence from Stala-Sue's style.
Yeah, sorry about the mouse suit rocks. Feels like it makes his head look small.
I love the concept. Also, true China Maxi would know that the suit was created by Sanyan Sen. Yeah.
Yeah, they're they're treating your suit like you put on a fucking Gundam to threaten the Empire
Yeah, the only thing that matters when you wear stuff like this is does it look good or not?
Okay
Does it look good or not? That's it and if the answer is yes, it looks good
Yes is swag
Then who gives a shit?
Who gives a shit?
Yeah, I, I, again, I'm ironically enough, I'm not a Maoist, but if they want to present
me as one, who gives a shit?
It was, there was a really funny, it has created really funny discourse though, I will say.
In the short clip Watts provided, Piker says, no more of those Democrats will collaborate
and cooperate with the fascists.
And she saw this is an accurate description of everyone who's in TSA aligned.
Yeah. Yeah. Um, but it was very, it is created once again, very funny discourse. Okay. Origin
of the suit doesn't matter who made a famous matter. Same as you don't see anyone using
the now called Hitler mustache. You didn't invent anybody made it famous. Yeah. There's
no comparison between Mao Zedong and Adolf Hitler. Dumbass. That's the whole point.
That's what I'm trying to get to right now, which is that if you were to make that comparison,
fucking idiot. And I know a lot of people in the Western world not only make that comparison,
but then turn around and say Mao Zedong is far worse than an awful Hitler, kill far more people
than an awful Hitler. It's a fucking stupid argument. That's my point. That's like, you know,
anyone who is at least a little bit knowledgeable about Chinese history will understand that there
is plenty of criticism that is warranted of Mao Zedong, especially in his later life. But he's
also profoundly important historical figure for the entire planet and certainly for the PRC,
People's Republic of China, modern China in general. That's my argument. That's my statement.
And it's one that Shannon Watts, of course, without any sort of fucking
interest in understanding Chinese history, will, has immediately turned around and said, whoa.
Yeah. Yeah, so please stop wearing the mouse suit. It scares lives and normies. Also, while you're
at it, please stop pushing socialist policies. It scares people in the calm of the masses. Please
start preaching that better things are not possible yet.
Mal killed practically have my dad's paternal family. I don't even blame him.
They were land owning one percenters.
These people call Nancy Pelosi a communist. You can wear anything and they cry about it. I mean,
not these people. So they clipped something, they clipped me talking about Mao Zedong and here is
up by a cop who thought it was like making fun of Mao Zedong, which I never would
and never will. Mao Zedong is one of the great leaders of this world, okay? A man who changed
changed the entire universe, the entire planet. He did. He changed the trajectory of history.
He did. He is the founding father of the People's Republic of China. It's insane that these people,
like Mao Zedong, gets the same level of credit that the founding fathers do for America. Okay?
it. Like it's literally the same thing as me saying George Washington is a great man of history
and is a profoundly impactful, profoundly important person. The American Revolution is a progressive,
historical event overall, all things considered. And of course, they were also slavers, right?
And the same, if you apply that same principle consistently to Mao Zedong,
everybody in the fucking Western world loses their minds where it's like, well, Mao Zedong,
unlike George Washington did not own slaves, okay?
And as a matter of fact, did a lot of work to abolish the prior structures that resembled
slavery and feudalism. But that's besides the point. Yes, there were tremendous excesses in
the Cultural Revolution, the Five Pest Campaign. There were a lot of failures that led to mass
famine. Of course, there's no more mass famine since then. And China is credited with uplifting
800 million people and taking them out of extreme poverty. That's what the PRC did.
And this is something that everybody understands and everybody acknowledges because it's true.
And that would not have happened without Mao Zedong. It's that simple.
Okay, for real, for real, yes, I mean, there's a lot of fucking excesses, let's be real,
but the People's Republic of China would not exist without Mao Zedong.
I got stuck.
Like that's.
I
literally wrote my AP Lang exam and say about this exact same thing all the super cynical
anyway they're yeah they're just freaking the fuck out it's like don't worry man I don't
I don't want to destroy the sparrows. Okay, I don't want to kill all the sparrows.
But yeah, ultimately, ultimately, this is like,
this is no different than when I said the fall, the dissolution of the USSR was a devastating
event that had reverberations. It was like one of the,
the, uh, it was, uh, it was, it was an event that was, uh, unbelievably, uh, uh, traumatic
for people who lived in Russia, people who lived in the Eastern block countries as well.
Like it's just true.
It's an objectively true statement.
And, and for some strange reason, whenever people fucking hear that, they go, whoa, whoa,
you're like, you want gulags, you are defending the excesses of the USSR, you're defending
Stalin's like height of paranoia. No, I'm not. And the same goes for Mao Zedong.
It's just a sequence of, it's just a sequence of thought terminating counters. Okay.
It's a sequence of thought terminating cliches.
They should be like, no, what the fuck?
You can't have any objective analysis, which includes criticism as well on foreign adversaries.
These are historic foreign adversaries that now have contemporary, they're now contemporary
foreign adversaries as well.
There's no, you should not be interested in understanding their development, their evolution.
should instead just say they're Adolf Hitler but worse. Yeah, I'm not gonna do that. I'm
not gonna fucking do that. It's not my job. It's not something I'm interested in doing.
I'm not trying to fucking win over. I'm not trying to win like a political campaign where
people could just like fucking lie and use like short clips. You can defend the USR,
bro. I mean, of course, there are tremendous aspects of the USSR that are defensible and good.
Like, for example, defeating the fucking Nazis, okay? The issue is a lot of people don't want to
look at where Tsarist Russia was and then where the USSR took Russia to and made it this industrialized
nation in such a tremendously short period of time. That is never a part of the consideration.
Now, of course, that used to be a part of the consideration. Ironically enough, there are
plenty of conservative right-wing historians even back in the day that covered this stuff
decently. But because we have unfortunately arrived at a world where literacy, critical thinking,
nuance thinking, objective thinking on these sorts of historical events is no longer rewarded
or welcome, most people even on the liberal side engage in the same fucking mentality.
Ideology transcends all. And the monoculture created, designed, and propped up by neoliberalism
dictates that you must not engage in critical thinking, okay? You must not do it.
It's cultish. It's cultish in ways that are not that different from the Trumpian cult. Now,
of course, the Trumpian cult is far worse, is far dumber. But like,
I personally don't understand why people are not more interested, more curious, more intellectually
honest, especially on the liberal side. We're not supposed to be like Republicans, man. We're
supposed to look at this stuff with a different perspective. Doesn't it bother you that, like,
Shannon Watts is saying the exact same thing that Spencer Pratt is saying. Does that not
ring any alarm bells in your mind? Mao had some excess with low key be one of the funniest
takes of this guy wasn't dead serious and quickly becoming the gatekeeper for one of the two major
political parties in America. This is what I mean. You think like you arrived at a perfect
understanding of my assessment off of a 36-second clip that literally is like half-dead air anyway.
But once again, Republicans and liberals are aligned on this issue. Does that not strike
you as even a little bit odd? This moral grandstanding, this idea that
I see you took off the mouse to avoid the allegation, but I also recognize the israel ebsdie suit you dirty communists
You're not sneaky. Yeah, israel ebsdie in my goat living the dream
So I
I just I always assumed that like republicans chirping about this shit
But Republicans chirping about this shit would potentially cause some alarm among liberals
who are advancing this position.
But no, they're perfectly fine shaking hands with some of the most insane, some of the
dumbest fascists of all time.
Okay?
Yeah, this is just as insane as calling Hitler a great leader, except Mao killed even more
than the Nazis.
Like, and this is a not so subtle way.
This is a not so subtle way of straight up saying, like, you know, Hitler wasn't that
bad in comparison to these dirty communists.
Okay. That's what this is. This is, unironically, this is Holocaust revisionism. Okay. You can't, on the one hand, you can't, and this was a deliberate attempt.
You know how we have the daughters of the Confederacy in this country that revised and whitewashed the Confederacy immediately after, immediately after it ended?
Nazis did the exact same thing. They created the double holocaust theory, okay, a very
common, a very common holocaust revisionist theory, the idea that Stalin was just as bad
as Adolf Hitler. As a matter of fact, Stalin killed more than Adolf Hitler, so maybe he
was worse than Adolf Hitler. This was a deliberate attempt to revise the atrocity of the holocaust,
Okay, so on the one hand a lot of these guys who are pro-Israel will unironically
Engage in the exceptionalist nature of the Holocaust and say that it is a singular event
It is a singular event unlike anything else and that's why no other genocide can come close
But then they literally will point to
Things that are not even in the same category in the same camp whatsoever and and will claim
that things that are not comparable to the Holocaust at all are actually just like the Holocaust.
And this is never considered, even though academics look at this as a Holocaust revisionism,
double genocide theory, but because these guys are pro-Israel, they get away with it.
Isn't that interesting to any of the liberals that Spencer Pratt agrees with you that does not that does not spark
Something in you at all the clean Vermont myth was a big part of that too. I'm curious about your what Mao point
Okay, we're we're moving past Mao Zedong. I'm not defending
Everything that Mao Zedong did, I'm actually fairly critical of the cultural revolution. I've talked about it quite a bit, okay?
You can go and find it in
In the archives if you want to okay
We're not killing all the pests
We're not killing all the pests
The the rapid industrialization was a massive fucking failure. It was too decentralized
And and a lot of people also died due to the mismanagement due to the famine. These are all
These are all real historic events that that people recognize like it's fucking stupid not to even the even the Chinese government
recognizes it
Okay
Anyway
Yeah, this is Matt Petty has a take on this as well and we're gonna get to it in a second.
But I have to pee.
So I guess we'll start off with the Fox News.
But no more to the Democrats who compromise, who conceal-
Yeah, Mao Zedong style speech, all this stuff.
What is this?
Dems, Piker problem?
Here, I got a pee.
Here, I got a pee.
Okay.
The left, Hassan Piker, is back in the headlines this time for calling Republicans terrorists.
Start difference between even a Democrat who you and I might find not up to par to see
at least versus Vance or whoever the **** they put up.
Of course.
I mean, I hate Republicans.
I oppose them.
I say that all the time.
I think that the Republicans are far more damaging.
the biggest terrorist, the biggest domestic terrorist in this country, the biggest terrorist
internationally is the Republican party.
Disgraceful.
But not all Democrats are sucking up to the America-hating streamer, Michigan Senator
Elise Sluckin.
It's firing back after Piker attacked her for daring to talk to Bill Maher, but not
him.
Watch.
I talked with Hassan Pai here this week, and he essentially said that there was a double
standard on you going on Bill Marshall versus his Twitch stream.
Do you want to respond to that?
Some derogatory things he said about Orthodox Jews, saying that we deserve 9-11.
There's some things in there, not to mention he calls me stupid like every other week.
what normal human being would choose to go on a show when someone calls you stupid every 10 days.
Yes, obviously. I'm not quite sure, Harold, why more mainstream media folks don't adopt
her common sense approach. This guy's bad news. I agree. I think that whenever on either side
Democrats or Republicans use language that I think is not the coming of a political conversation,
I'm critical of I think there's there's no way in the world if I release this lock and I go on mr.
Friker's podcast
I wouldn't go on it if he invited me if I were in a setting and he was there to debate I'd debate him but I wouldn't give him the
Satisfaction of being on on his platform. I think one of the work. Yeah, I'd be so satisfied if you came on my platform big dog
I would love to have you on
Okay, that that's
One of my favorite what like dude you work at Fox News, buddy. You work at Fox fucking news
What the hell are you talking about? Anyway, this video is old. This is from April, but the talking points have not changed, okay?
John Fetterman says if the Democrats don't disavow you, he will leave.
It's, it's getting there. It's getting there. We're gonna talk about it. So anyway,
Okay. Yeah. Far left, political influencers,
Sampikar sparked heated backlash over the weekend after addressing a group of college
students wearing an alpha resembling the wardrobe of former communist dictator,
Mao Zedong. No more to Trumpism, but no more to the Democrats who compromise,
who conciliate, who betray, as Piker said, to applause at the 2026 College Democrats
of America, summer convention, a clip that was widely shared on social media,
including by the account DSA watch, which called the appearance of Hitler style
speech and was viewed over a million times. Parker continued,
no more to the fascist reactionaries, but no more to the Democrats who will
collaborate and cooperate with the fascists who will fund ISIS, who will fund Israel,
who will help poison the planet, who will stiff workers and help bosses.
The appearances specifically the Mao style suit generated is that outrage on social media.
A Sompiker dresses now brainwashing his college former Los Angeles, Maryland and reality TV
star Spence Pratt posted on X. They're communists. This was always communism. Pratt added, Mao
killed more people than Hitler. If a Sompiker had dressed like a Nazi, we'd have an appropriate
outrage.
I think if I did that, you would love it. You would be defending me. Fox News would be defending me actually if I
unironically dressed like Adolf Hitler and said Nazi style things. I'm pretty sure I would just be a spokesperson for the Republican Party
Because Steven Miller literally does that. Okay, Greg
Greg Bovino
Mr. Bovino straight up openly dressed like a fucking Nazi and y'all defended his ass on a daily basis.
I guess I would be the head of ICE if I did that.
So no, I don't believe this attitude. I don't believe this attitude at all. I think that's bullshit.
This is a lie. We know it's a fucking lie.
We can all agree that dressing up as Mao up preaching this faculty lounge cosplay communism
of little on the nose, right?
Joe Pasharsz, Matt Whitlock said, Atlanta Council, senior fellow, Ahmed Fuad Al-Khatib.
Okay.
Okay. Ahmed Fouad Al-Khatib, Israel's greatest defender at the Atlantic Council. So the transformation
of a Sompiker is nearing completion. Dress up as chairman Mao, whom we call one of the
great leaders of this world to change the entire universe. He and his followers are
attempting a cultural takeover of the democratic party, which is letting them in.
Serious issues aside, it remains funny to me, the amount of cost, costumery required to
be a leftist and good standing. CNN political commentator, Scott Jennings posted. Yeah,
he'd know a lot about costumes. Yeah. He's been in and out of the closets many times.
Scotty.
A spokesperson for the pro-Israel Watchdog canary, Mr. Tolle Fox News, said that Piker
is a malicious figure who has repeatedly faced criticism for rhetoric supporting terrorism,
and that the decision to host him reflects the growing influence of socialists and extremist
voices within the Democratic Party.
Piker, whose previously expressed admiration for Mao Zedong, the Chinese Communist Revolutionary,
whose policies and stories estimate contributed to the deaths of tens of millions of people,
responded to the DSA Watcher post on X saying,
No more to fascist Trumpism and no more to the Democrats who collaborate with fascists
funding as an israel's a hitler style speech to you question mark piker did not comment
which they reached out for comment i did not uh comment i guess i didn't even see it but i probably
wouldn't run anyway piker backed by roughly 10 billion followers across various internet platforms
has endorsed several far left candidates across country including campaigning with democrat senate
uh senate candidate obdol say it in michigan is the democratic party grapples with socials wave
of candidates that have won elections across the country
What is this? Yeah, libs and right-wingers are so fucking stupid the number one actor
and model in China, Zheng Linghe also wears Zheng Cheng's regularly unbuttoned even. Yeah.
Yeah, it's the common garb. Not only is it common garb, but like they're saying like
Contextually, I'm wearing this because I am wearing it because I love Mao Zedong and I
agree with everything he's ever done in his entire life. I personally don't have the same
level of antagonism that the average American has towards the People's Republic of China.
That is real, okay? There are plenty of criticisms. There are plenty of excesses, especially the older
Mao got. The worst things got in terms of his governance, okay? Having said that, his contributions
to history are vast, okay? It's true. 800 million people would not have gotten out of extreme poverty
if it wasn't for Mao Zedong. Obviously, Deng Xiaoping played a major role in this as well,
but it transformed China into what it is today. No reflection on that at all.
Well folks will call you a dangerous hitlerian force and call you boring performative woke
like Brian Griffin in the same breath. Yes. And at a certain point, I think people need
to recognize. I mean, it's the same shit. These guys used to say I'm a hypocrite socialist
grifter who's really rich, doesn't do anything, just sits at home. And that was never obviously
the case. However, however, now they're like, Oh, he's a dangerous terrorist that the federal
government must fucking depose and, and, and throw, throw to jail, throw into jail, throw
under the jail, kill him, please, kill him now. Like, it's just, it's just, at a certain
point you have to recognize, like, they just don't agree and they've been conditioned into
hating, not the world, view necessarily, but who I am as a person. It's always easier to
disparage the messenger rather than to tackle the message. Okay? So, I would never, I would
and never will criticize Moussa Dong, Pakistan earlier this year in a clip that is currently
recirculating one of the great leaders of this world. Like I'm fucking literally joking.
I criticize him immediately after that clip. Whatever. It doesn't matter. Yes, it's true.
I, I, I would never, um, a college Democrats of America, executive board member of college
in New York, Toe Fox.
There's the group platforming someone like a Sompires, anthropetical to the party in
common sense. Democrats are trying to present to the American people for November's midterms.
Board member added, we had a golden opportunity to stand up. The Trump's corrupted authoritarian
brand of politics fight against MAGO for to be the crisis and restore congressional
checks on an executive branch that is far over each and our role in the government platforming
malignant outside actors such as Piker who have actively worked to cloud our
policy platform will only harm our broad electability amongst the average
work of voters.
I don't understand how they can call you a lid. There's just like
variants. There's variants. There's varying degrees of different ideology. There's always
going to be people to my left that think that I'm not like sufficient in my advocacy for
socialism. I'm not liberalism umbrella term. Everyone, a lot of people are liberals. Liberal
is monoculture. Most Republicans are also liberals and the ones that are post-liberalist
straight forward fascists. Most self-identifying liberals, we believe, are actually far more
open-minded to socialization, socialism, as long as they develop class consciousness and get the
sufficient political education. And this even extends to self-identifying or self-identifying
conservatives that are also a part of the broad. What is this? Mao Zedong died on this
day. The time said he began as an obscure peasant and died one of history's greatest,
great revolutionary figures. New York Times archives. It's true.
is all-encompassing, okay? Liberalism is all-encompassing. In any case, the irony, of course,
of what that guy was saying is like, this is dangerous, toxic, whatever.
The irony there is the goals are the same. I want there to be a Democratic majority. I want the
Democratic Party to win majorities in the House of Representatives and in the Senate as well.
So, whether they like it or not, we are actually working towards the exact same fucking goal.
These guys on the other hand, of course, that's the short-term goal here, because if we don't
actually put any fucking checks or balances against the Trumpism, against the reactionary
force in this country, we're fucked.
We're not even gonna have a real election by 2028.
We might not even have a real election by the end of this goddamn year.
It's not like the Republicans are shy about it.
keep openly entertaining it. Okay.
This guy is cosplaying the guy responsible for the deadliest famine in human history.
Like it's just a fun bit. This is a guy who went to China and said that he felt no ties
to America. And then he went on Cuba on a once again, once again, just so much, so much discourse
nowadays is just, I'm un-nuanced. I don't give a shit what this person is saying. I've branded
this person my ideological opponent and I have no investment whatsoever in understanding his
perspective. I am going to do everything and anything I can to just greatly bastardize a soundbite.
It's it. That's it. That's all this is and it will always, it will always be this way going
forward. I don't think we can actually fix this unless we fix the literacy crisis, okay?
Trip, whose funding source has him now being subpoenaed by the Treasury Department,
this guy isn't a revolutionary. This guy did not come up from the ranks of the proletariat.
This guy's a nepo baby. He twitch streamed his way into a bigger, bigger platform. Republicans
are quietly building their whole midterm strategy around this. They're calling this a hate election.
they're pointing the Democrats Tea Party like was revolted by progressives.
This is proof that the party can't govern. And why young people are not only Richard Nixon,
Maxing, as I know you guys have reported here before on Fox and Friends First.
But the young people are actually longing for a return of the days of Joseph McCarthy and
wondering, did he go far enough? I mean, that's insane.
Austin Peterson, former Libertarian presidential candidate,
unironically saying we need to eviscerate the first amendment. Also, it's pretty funny because he's a
former libertarian presidential candidate and he basically does what I do now, but just to a much
lesser impact. He's a fucking podcaster himself, which is precisely the reason why this is,
there's a lot of jealousy baked into this fucking commentary, it seems.
And no, I'm not a revolutionary, okay?
So, what's up?
Well, maybe not this guy, anti-Israeli sh**t.
It's like saying Zoram Mamdani is a revolutionary. He's not. I'm not. We're not revolutionaries. There is no revolution.
There could be one one day, but currently, the material conditions...
are not ripe for any kind of real revolutionary activity.
Streamer is on piker delivering a far left speech to college Democrats all while dressed
in Mao Zedong garb watch this.
No more to the Democrats who compromise, who conciliate and who betray us.
No more to.
I like that they cut the part where I'm like saying fascist reactionary Trump is no more
to fascist reactionary Trump is they're just like, look, this guy hates Democrats.
attacking the Democrats. The Democrats who will collaborate and cooperate with the fascists,
who will fund ICE, who will fund Israel, who will help poison the planet, who will stiff workers
and help bosses. We don't need those Democrats anymore. That was bars, by the way. Straight
up. I'll take it. I'm going to keep repeating that over and over again. That was bars. That is,
That's the, that's the stump. You know, that's, that's me working my tight five. That's, I'm
sorry. I kind of cooked on that objectively, objectively, or objectively cooked. You can
fucking cry about it all day every day, but...
Coming! We are on boss! We're on bot! We're on...
Do you write your own speeches? Yeah.
So, many of you have actually seen a lot of my speeches like,
I will get help from my friend
friend, and my editor at times, Noah Coleman. But this one, the most of the speech, this
was something that I wrote that I was going to do in the rally in Denver. So I wrote the
speech for the Denver Rally, right? And then I reworked it, retooled it for the College
Democrats of America. But this is, this is all me, mostly me. Noah gave the Noah part
was basically the beginning, like there were a couple of additions from Noah in the, in
the front end of the speech. But the second half is my shit. And I was wondering if you
guys could tell that it's like it's it's my own voice coming out and and
forget the Democrats Austin shouldn't that clip being ever yet build here not
bomb abroad is my is my bars yes build schools in your neighborhoods I use that
a lot Republican ad between now in the midterms that this Marxist and people
like him, you know, the people clap in there in the audience, want to take over your way of life.
Yeah, the Republicans are loving. I might skip the poison word just because the closer you get to hit Larry,
if you're a professional misunderstander, what poisoning the planet? No, dude, that's not fucking hit Larry in at all.
I'm not saying immigrants are poison. I'm saying they're poisoning our fucking water supply. They're poisoning our
environment. It's a perfectly appropriate word to utilize when you're talking about the ecological disaster
that is unfolding all around us and how much the, the, the capital forces of capital have
contributed to that death and devastation.
This stuff, Todd, they want to run on this. It kind of reminds me of that Dwight Schrute
clip from the office when he was doing the speech like he was Mussolini. Communism killed
100 million people and all we got was that lousy jacket. You know, this guy's cost playing
the guy responsible for the deadliest famine in human history. Like it's just a fun bit.
This is a guy who went to China and said that he felt no ties to America. And then he went
on Cuba on a trip whose funding source has him now being subpoenaed by the treasury department.
This guy isn't a revolutionary. This guy did not come up from the ranks of the proletariat.
This guy's a NEPO baby. He twitch streamed his way into a bigger, I love that. I love
that they're hitting, they're burning the candle on both ends though. He is a, he is
a grifter. He's not serious. He's not a revolutionary, but also he's obviously trying to foment a
communist revolution and very scary. Like, I love this dude saying it at the same time.
Like, on the one hand, he's like, he's an insincere grifter. All he cares about is making
money, blah, blah, blah. But then also he's like, he's the most dangerous guy in American
politics. We have to make sure he's being funded by foreign governments. Like, we have
to put him under the prison. Libertarian, by the way, where the fuck is your investment
in libertarianism? What are you talking about? He's demanding McCarthyist trials, McCarthyite
trials to come back at the end of this look.
West Hollywood mansion. Now it's worth north of 3.5 million, I think. And he sits behind
a gate so the fans and paparazzi can't get to him. His own defense, when people called
out his hypocrisy. He said he'd rather be a rich socialist than a broke person defending
capitalism. Well, at least he's honest. The revolution. Yeah, I mean, that's again, you
got any problems with that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, again, bars, bars.
It was behind the gated community, Todd. It is insane. The hypocrisy that you're trying.
the big question is, what are Democrats doing about it? Here's at least two of them.
There's some crazy stuff, you know, when we're cheering for the Intervada and DSA,
again, they, they say things like, you know, take over of key industries, government,
that's communism. But what does it have to do with supporting Hamas? What does it have to do
with putting up candidates who say we should have no police, no prisons, we can't deport anybody,
even if they commit rape or murder, Israel shouldn't exist. These aren't terrible ideas.
Austin, we're running late here, so I need a quick answer. But are the Democrats too late? Has
the cancer already overrun the body? Oh, for sure. Axios reported this same week, Todd. Republicans
are quietly building their whole midterm strategy around this. They're calling this a hate election.
They're pointing to the Democrats' Tea Party-like revolt by progressives. This is a trap.
This is a trap for the establishment Democrats. The Republicans are setting this up for the
establishment Democrats to fall into. Okay? It's a trap door. Please, please be smarter. Okay?
All of the momentum, all of the on the ground organizing is on our side. Okay? The people
have tremendous appetite for change. They're sick and tired of business as usual. Politics,
They want this change so bad. That's why they're voting. They're voting against
The barrage of attack ads against their left flank. They're voting for people that I never thought they'd be voting for
These are democrats. These are your voters
okay
They're not alien forces from the outside. They're not republicans that are casting ballots for dalia lisa in a closed election
And these are Democrats that are voting, and these are now DSA candidates that are winning
these primaries, okay?
This right here is a fucking trap door.
Establishment Democrats are gonna fall into it, they're gonna be like, see, the Republicans
are gonna use these DSA candidates as a dangerous and scary force, a malign force in American
politics.
We have to cut them off immediately, okay?
We have to cut them off immediately.
Some cynical operators within the establishment will obviously utilize this, will shake hands
with the corrupt forces of fascism in this country in an effort to actively excise their
left flank.
But if you are a real, if you're a Democrat of yourself identifying liberal and you just
want to fucking win, just please, please understand that the Republicans are doing this to dupe
you, okay?
giving, they're giving it out to the established Democrats to rerun the electability argument
once again, to tweak it once again, to say, see, no, these moderate, moderate pivots are
how you win elections. It's not when you go left, you gotta keep, you gotta keep going
right on a lot of these cultural issues, you gotta keep going right on economic issues.
That's the only way to defeat Republicans. When we all saw that principled stance, that
Third way neoliberalism lose to Donald Trump and incompetent petty despotic tyrant twice not once but twice
This is my plea not to the Democratic Party
This is my plea to the liberals the self identifying liberal voters who might be in the margins who might just say hey
I kind of like this youth this this
youthful exuberance being forcibly pushed into the Democratic Party. I like that, but I'm still a little scared. I'm still a little shaky.
I'm still a little shaky on this stuff. Is it actually real? Is it gonna work?
That's who I'm speaking to when I say this. I'm talking to the fucking voters. Okay?
Had socialist candidates lost primaries in New York City, Philadelphia and DC, there would
have been a, there would have been a wave of articles about how non-white voters don't
vote for socialists. Instead, they won and we got a wave of articles about how non-white
voters don't vote for socialists. It's almost like corporate media, reverse engineers,
narratives to punch left and shore up the status quo regardless of what happens. And
if socialists and progressives win on August 4th, they'll just move the goalposts again
because they're ideological enforcers, not neutral arbiters of reality. We just got
We got dozens of articles on how Bernie endorsing Muslim women is somehow racist, Dan Goldman
losing my 30 points to a Jewish guy's evidence of rising anti-Semitism, and a Muslim candidate
subject to $50 million in Islamophobic attack ads is actually himself.
Sexist reality is irrelevant.
Adam Johnson cooks once again.
This is the media class abiding by their ultimate goal.
They are the standard bearers of capitalism.
They are the defenders of capitalism.
They position themselves as neutral arbiters of reality.
But in fact, in fact, their primary goal here is to defend the current system, defend the
establishment, defend capitalism at the end of the day.
The only difference now is that there is oppositional media, okay?
And oppositional media has always played a formative role in developing class consciousness
and developing socialist movements from the Pravda all the way to, I guess, the fucking
modern new media environment where Twitch streamers play somewhat of a role in this process.
Just be real, without newspapers, there is no socialist movement, there is no communist
movement, without a place where you can get this information that isn't diluted, that
isn't oppositional.
No, this is not being a trot, shut up, okay?
No, I'm not talking about the importance of pamphlets.
There has never been, there has never been a successful revolutionary movement without
its revolutionary media, okay?
The ground new sponsorship segment shut the fuck this is proof that the party can't govern
and why young people are not only Richard Nixon maxing as I know you guys have reported
here before on Fox and Friends first but the young people are actually longing for return
of the days of Joseph McCarthy and wondering did he go far enough.
The problem with that article is Republicans are saying hey you may not like us but their
They're worse.
Republicans need to come up with a better strategy than just that between now and November.
Yeah.
I'm done apologizing to these nasty little fascists, okay?
And if you come in here and you demand that, if you come in here and you say, oh, you gave
them an opportunity, there are instances where I do give them an opportunity, by the way.
And I'll take my fucking, when I do give them an opportunity, when I say something that's
like out of context, or when I say something that is actually fucked up, right? When I,
when I'm too hyperbolic or anything like that, I take ownership over that and I apologize for it.
This is not one of those moments. This is manufactured outrage when no such manufactured
outrage should even exist. Okay? No outrage should exist. The speech stands on its own.
Okay, so this is one of this is not one of those moments is not even like Scott style incident, right?
Or they're doing everything they can to you know, they had a panel on you during your morning during
the morning your species brought a former Democrat. I know I watched that I watched that already.
Yeah.
We are done.
We are done conceding on oppositional framing.
We have to be done with that.
It's one of the biggest ways that Democrats consistently take L's.
And if we are to be different than Democrats, if we are democratic socials, we're socials,
we're communists, we will not, we will not take on oppositional framing.
It's bad, it's self-defeating, and it's an argument that I have presented to even establishment
Democrats, and it's one of their biggest weaknesses.
They love taking manufactured hysteria, manufactured outrage from their opposition, and then entertain
it as though it's a sincere grievance.
It's not.
put your booze mean nothing when I've seen what makes you cheer right I'm not
gonna get a lecture from a guy who excitedly supports death and destruction
of children okay I'm sorry I'm not gonna hear a lecture from you bench
superhero it's not happening I don't care what your perspective is on this
matter. Shut the fuck up. Stop saying it's Rick and Morty.
Do you understand?
Well, the dirtbag left and the dirtbag right are basically the same.
Hasan Piker, Nick Fuentes, same transgressiveness.
Graham Plattner, entertain both alleged rapists, same evil, same scam.
We're here pointing it out so you can see what's going on, both the far
right and the radical left.
We'll also get to the Craven Mayor of New York's arm on Donnie, who seems to think it
just smiles a lot while spewing commie propaganda.
People won't notice that he's just spewing commie propaganda.
And we're doing a lot of noticing these days.
See, in the wake of losing elections, the left is now embracing the photo negative of the
right's transgressive evil.
The socialists aren't hiding it anymore.
Reload the title.
It isn't your title.
What do you mean?
It just says the socialists aren't hiding it.
As in Hasan saying things that are immoral, not anchoring anything you have to say to
evidence or fact, it's super duper fun. Hell, it's probably fun to go to a college Democrats
of America convention, dressed as chairman Mao. I mean, I assume it's fun for Hasan Piker when
he's not putting on his Cartier jewelry. I assume it's fun for him to go dressed as a mass murderer
responsible for the death of 40 million people at the College Democratic of America convention,
explaining we don't need Democrats anymore and the Kulaks must burn.
That's, I didn't say that. What the fuck? The Kulaks must burn. Yeah, I said liquidate the Kulaks.
But no more to the Democrats who compromise, who conciliate, and who betray us.
No more to the-
Also, he's mixing and matching his, his communists too.
He's like liquidate the Kulaks.
Did Mao liquidate the Kulaks?
Would the Kulaks, what would be the, the equivalent?
There is an equivalent in, in China as well, but it's not the Kulaks. That's, that's USSR.
Fascist reactionaries, but no more to the Democrats who will collaborate and cooperate
with the fascists who will fund ICE, who will fund Israel, who will help poison the planet,
who will stiff workers and help bosses. We don't need those Democrats anymore.
fact I know we have a message we are coming we are on boss we're unbought
we're unbound and we will become undeniable only blood will grease the
wheels of history doing the full muesli needs white shrew routine house on pack
of that guy is welcome in all the democratic circles he is he's an
intellectual leader among the Democrats again addressing as the now is the
by this is my favorite type at the democratic parties going to become more
anti-israel
this is my favorite type of argument because there is none okay
is just going error isn't this silly or
mhm this is actually very scary
at the same time it's like
no no commentary on the meat
okay no commentary on the meat at all
no commentary on the potatoes
how is this not
the same rhetorical tool deployed all the time by the likes of Laura Ingram,
that just simply repeat the statement with a silly sarcastic tone without actually addressing
any of the arguments. The only articulable fear the Democrats can produce against the left is Israel.
Point. Deciding with Hamas is the point. The DSA is fun and incredibly sinful and it's enjoyable
for the left. They enjoy it because it's the id. It's the thing that you want to say but you just
you know you shouldn't that you really want to say it when they say it. It's fun. There's the
New York City DSA co-chair Gustavo Cordillo on landlords saying that basically he should decide
what happens to those horrible horrible bourgeois. The problem we're facing in our housing system
is that we talk about tenants and we say they have to pull themselves up by their
bootstraps. They have to be responsible financially, but when we look at the landlords,
we don't use those same standards. That's incredible take. What's the problem? An
investment is an investment, okay? Is housing a vehicle for speculation? Is it a speculative
asset or is it shelter? In the United States of America, we do both. And therefore, the
situation is totally warped where we treat, on the one hand, we treat it as an investment
vehicle, but also on the other hand, we will never allow that investment vehicle to falter.
We'll never allow that investment vehicle to go down in value, right? That's the problem.
If you're making a gamble, if it's a bet at the end of the day, sometimes we need to allow
that bet to fail, especially if, especially if this means more people will get shelter,
okay?
It's that simple.
And that's all he's saying.
He's saying, we tell people to pick themselves up by their bootstraps, but when it comes
to making your money off of holding on to housing, holding on the property, we never
allow, we never allow for policies that will potentially lower their profit margins.
That makes no sense.
That is unironically the reason why there's this major housing crisis in this country.
This is not a controversial opinion.
As a matter of fact, if you were to talk to the average person, the average working class
individual or even the upper middle class person in the country right now, and you were
to be like, hey, how do you feel about home values going down a little bit, but then you
get to have a home, everyone would agree with that.
At the end of the day, we're talking about shelter for these people, okay?
For most people, for the average person, a home is shelter, okay?
In the United States of America, it's also your nest egg.
It's also your retirement.
It's upwards mobility.
It's generational wealth.
That's what's so frustrating about it.
Our understanding of housing in the Western world is totally fucking distorted.
It's not an accident that in English-speaking countries, especially, this mentality persists
and that's the reason why English-speaking countries all around the world have some of
the worst housing policies and some of the worst homelessness crises.
There was a, was it a Forbes report that just recently came out that showed like median
wealth versus like average wealth in, in these countries and it showed the, the disparity
between countries that had a housing crisis where their GDP increase or their, their overall
wealth, the wealth of the country was entirely due to housing inflation. Housing inflation,
the price of housing going up. Okay? It's unbearable. That's why, that's why we fucking say, you know,
America is a third world country with a Gucci belt on. So many of these places like England
is another great example. Canada is another great example of this. The United States of America
is somewhat of a decent example of this, even though it's such a vast country. There's obviously
numerous housing markets within the country. There's numerous different housing markets within
the country where some are a little bit more adjustable. Australia is another one as well.
So, where you look at the overall, the entirety of the Anglosphere, when you look at the overall
wealth in the Anglosphere, you see there's a lot of value.
But you don't understand the full picture.
If there's so much value, why are there so many homeless people?
If there's so much value, if there's so much wealth, why is there so much endless suffering?
especially in western liberal democracies, western liberal capitalist democracies.
Why? That's because all of the value is trapped in the hands of boomers and all of the value is trapped in the housing.
The value is not real. It's not real wealth.
It's not wealth in the way that you understand it.
understand it for the longest time, okay, before finance capitalism became the only version of
capitalism in the global marketplace, especially in western liberal capitalist democracies,
the idea was simple. You invent something, you have a little bit of upfront capital,
you invent something that's new, or you find a more efficient mode of production,
and you're in a competitive market and you rise above everybody else.
This is the efficiency of the market.
And you generated something, you created something.
There was an industrial base that was built in this country.
Okay?
And that's how wealth grew.
And in the process of growing wealth,
although there was a lot of consolidation at the top,
there was an instance where rising tides were in some ways
raising other boats as well.
Okay? Of course, it was never, it was never as equitable as it was supposed to be. Obviously,
that's the problem. That's the problem within capitalism where all of the productive output,
all of the productivity that you are putting in to generating value was staying still at
the top. But then something changed. Okay, this is fucking a historical. Okay, I'm oversimplifying
it. Can I please explain to you what the difference is between, I guess, the periods
of time in American history in the 50s and 60s, 70s onward, and then the accelerated
version of events? It's already wrong. Okay, you know what? You have the floor. You explain
it. You explain why so much wealth growth has been seen in the Western world, especially
And yet the bottom fell out for the average worker.
Yeah. Okay.
Smart guy, you take a crack at it.
When did the wealth get to the bottom?
It never did.
I'm not saying it got to the bottom.
I'm simply stating that when people, when there was a more
redistributive policies, and when there was an industrial base, some of that value that
was being generated, unlike now, because all of the value comes from moving numbers around
as opposed to like actually building shit.
In comparison to the current accelerated version of finance capitalism, things were objectively
better, it still wasn't a perfect system. It still wasn't a good system, okay? But in
comparison to the situation now, if you want to understand like why there was at least
like a self-identifying working class, a labor movement, and that people could simply work
one job and have not one, but sometimes two fucking families, okay? But there is no reality.
There is no reality now where one guy with one job can have not only one family, but
a second secret family on the fucking side, okay?
You have households where both of the parents are working and on top of their regular job
in order to make ends meet, they have to take gig economy jobs as well.
What's the difference?
Modern day conditions are the predictable outcome of capitalism. It was capitalism back then,
and this is capitalism evolving into a more honest version of capitalism, a more indecent
version from your perspective, but it's just still capitalism. I'm not even making the distinction
like, oh, this is corporatism versus capitalism. Real capitalism has never been tried. I'm not
I'm not saying this is real capitalism.
I'm simply explaining to you that the contradictions
have always existed, but it's getting far worse now.
And we haven't even peeked behind the curtain
of what it will look like with artificial intelligence,
where value keeps going up,
where the market is still performing well,
and yet people are losing fucking,
People are losing their jobs.
Largest share of GDP by labor was 1960's to early 1970's with high union density in
the advent of the modern welfare state.
It also happened to be a period in time where America still had some version of central
planning in the aftermath, the war economy.
Okay?
Yeah, RAND income study from 1975 to 2018, bottom 90% had 67% of share of income in 1975
50% share in 2018. It's gotten even worse. It's gotten so much worse. But that's also just income.
A lot of this wealth is no longer created through income. The overwhelming majority of wealth for
the top has nothing to do with income at all. Jeff Bezos gets paid 75 grand a year, right? Obviously.
It's in assets. It's in wealth. It's in the stock market. That's what I'm talking about. That's the major difference nowadays.
It's in investments. In any case, that is the reason why the system is collapsing.
That's the reason why contradictions are are worsening ownership not income now only what you love must become a trillion are exactly
We'll talk about when we get to situation monitoring, we'll talk about all this stuff.
But in any case, in any case, we'll do Francesca Hong in a second.
I just wanted to get back to this dumbass who yesterday came out and said, my red line
is campaigning with garbage like a Sampiker.
I'm going to quit the Democratic Party.
And here he is doubling down with Maria Bartiromo once again.
If that becomes official, even Jewish kinds of organizations like J Street are doing events
with people like Hassan Piker.
Hassan Piker.
I mean, how can you embrace people like that, that Hamas is a thousand percent better than
Israel?
You know, if we became the kind of party that would embrace someone like Hassan Piker, you
know, maybe my party doesn't want like a reasonable common sense kind of Democrat that
that reminds people that standing with Israel,
that at least used to be part of our core values.
And one of the reasons why I've been proud to be a Democrat.
That's right, Senator.
Yeah, he's just saying straight up.
He's entertaining leaving the Democratic Party,
which he already left spiritually a long time ago.
Let's be real.
But now he's looking for an out.
I guess he's decided the out is me. Now the real question here is if you were to ask the average
Democrat, is John Federman closer to your understanding of what the Democratic Party should
represent or is it someone like myself? I suspect that if you look at the trend lines on Israel,
most Democrats would obviously be on my side of the argument rather than John Federmans.
So that's it.
it. John Federman doubles down on the set to leave the Democratic Party because of Hassan
Piker. Yeah. John Federman has a minus 40% approval rating among Democrats in Pennsylvania.
Now, what's really interesting about this, by the way, what's really interesting about
what John Federman is saying is that John Federman is the least popular Democrat in
the country is a dino, Democrat in name only. Okay. And what's, what I find particularly
strange about this is what he's saying there is not dissimilar to what you hear from near
attendant, what you hear from Shannon Watts, what you hear from a lot of these establishment,
Democrat aligned, spokespeople for this center of power in the party.
It is identical, almost verbatim, bar for bar.
And that's what's so strange about this, where those people would never openly entertain
John Federman as a good force in the Democratic Party.
They don't come after AOC as hard and as vociferously as well because they're worried the AOC is
objectively a popular figure in the party, but they share that same exact resentment.
They share the same exact resentment than John Fetterman has.
They hate it.
And yeah, it's interesting.
It's funny that Paul Singer, Jan Kuhn, and Nir Tandon are the three most prominent supporters
of Hailey Stevens.
and Coom are outspoken supporters of Trump while Tandon publicly claims to be against
Trump but actively spends all of her time fighting other Democrats and teaming up with
Trump, mega donors to do it.
Democrats won't have a coherent party as long as a huge chunk of it is funded by Republicans.
I brought this up as well because Eli Clifton reported on this, senior advisor at Quincy
Institute.
He had a report on this, he said, two of Trump and GOP's biggest donors, Paul Singer
and Jan Kuhn are the largest individual donors to the super PAC backing Haley Stevens over
Abdul El Sayed and the Democratic Senate primary in Michigan. Why is this important?
Well, it's important because I brought this point up as well.
Why are two major MAGA donors backing Stevens and what is the guarantee they continue funding
her against Mike Rogers in the general? Can she perform at all without APAC money?
Why is mainstream media too busy talking about Abdul's podcast appearances instead of this in
the electability calculus? I know the answers to these questions, but, you know,
still interesting to see mainstream Democrats hit these fucking lines.
Last but not least, Jeremy Benamy had to take on this as well, and then we'll get to the Marco
rubio situation but here is here is more synchronicity on the pro-israel camp
john u attacking uc berkeley law professor famous pro torture professor shitting on
zaram i'm downing after the 9 11 attacks the bush administration and i was an official
the justice department we participated with congress to pass a law that prohibits any
official in the United States from cooperating with the ICC. So what Mayor Mondami is calling on
is for the officials of New York City, including himself, to violate federal law.
So in the end, it's not Netanyahu should be arrested and investigated. I'm not trying to
exaggerate here. The mayor is violating the American Servicemen Protections Act passed in 2002,
and the Justice Department should be investigating him and the president under that law is authorized
to use all necessary means to prevent any American or ally from being handed over to that court.
So if Mayor Mondami wants to spend a lot of time dealing with FBI agents and Justice Department
investigators, well, he just started that. He just launched that whole process for himself
and the residents of New York City. But he's a savvy guy, right? You don't get elected mayor
of the biggest city in the world if you're a dummy. So why it? What is this? It's just some kind of a
political cat call for him? Yeah, I don't know if I can add more than what you've heard from
other political analysts and guests who said that Mayor Mandami is appealing to this large,
sort of socialist friendly base of young people in New York City who are becoming increasingly
I'm afraid anti-Semitic and anti-Israel. But the question is, is he acting consistent with
with the law of the United States, and he is not, and he should be investigated by the
just, smart by the Trump administration because of that.
That's crazy.
This guy's pivotal achievement is literally sanctioning torture, by the way.
Like in a just world, he would be going to prison, ironically enough.
But of course, we do not live in a just world.
His biggest accomplishment, John Hughes' biggest accomplishment as a former deputy assistant
attorney general is sanctioning torture during the war, the global war on terror.
In that wild?
Yeah.
Yeah, he he wrote the torture memo famously
Period
After the
Man who deserves to be on trial at the Hague, it's illegal to actually send criminals to the Hague
Yeah, of course, he would say that he's a fucking straight up or criminal
So yeah this morning. I had some unfortunate news. Let's start there
Well, I will wait. Hold on. Sorry actually before I get there before I get to the tortures
I just got through the torture thing before I get to the State Department issue. There was one other thing
I wanted to cover. Oh
Um, to wrap up the, uh, the college democrats thing, here's Jeremy Benamy, who's been getting
yelled at quite a bit because J Street, J Street, you, which is, uh, the university version of J
Street, uh, co-sponsored the college democrats of America convention. And then Jewish insider went
to Jeremy Benamy and we're like, what the fuck did you sponsor this? Asana is a terrorist, blah,
blah blah blah. He's an anti-Israel terrorist. All this stuff, right? And then,
um, I guess Jeremy Benamy had a, had a opinion on this. He wanted to release an effort post on this.
Since it was announced that a Sompiker would be speaking, some have sought the portrayal
participation as an endorsement of his views. That is simply false. J Street disagrees with much of
what Hassan Piker says and with the way he says it. We won't hesitate to say so,
but we also reject the notion that the right answer to his invitation is to abandon the very spaces
where the next generation of democratic leaders is debating these issues. Our mission is not
to preach to the converted. It is to ensure that a pro-Israel, pro-peace voice is heard wherever
the future of American politics is being shaped. If we leave those conversations to others,
we shouldn't be surprised when the loudest and most polarizing voices dominate them.
Let's also dispense with the misinformation. J.S.H.U. was one of the many conference sponsors.
There is a sponsorship amounted to a couple thousand dollars for an exhibit table.
We had no role in choosing speakers, no approval over the program, and no say in who was invited
to address the conference, suggesting otherwise either uninformed or intentionally misleading.
Some of our critics don't object to this particular conference.
They object to J Street.
They've spent years trying to convince people that there is no room in American Jewish life
or democratic politics for a pro-Israel movement that also insists on Palestinian rights,
of the occupation and believes diplomacy is stronger than perpetual war. They won't succeed.
Too many people want young Americans to believe there are only two choices to find every action of
the Israeli government or reject Israel altogether. That is a false choice and it is one Jay Street
was founded to reject. We will continue to show up. We will continue to engage. We'll continue
to make it a case for a future in which Israelis and Palestinians can both live in freedom,
security, and peace and we won't be intimidated into surrendering that conversation to voices
we disagree with or to critics who would rather see us stay home.
Search fucking bullshit. There's no fucking thing as being pro-Israel pro-peace. Yeah, I
obviously have vehement disagreements with Jayshrid and they have disagreements with me.
me, right? But at the very least, they understand the importance of not demanding a de-platforming
for someone with my worldview, with my policies, with my opinion on Israel, because they understand
that the argument is lost, for the most part, due to APEC, due to the APEC style of understanding
Israel, where it's all or nothing. Okay, J. Street is the good cop to Apex bad cop.
That's that, but they at least like play that role well.
Because obviously if everyone who's pro-Israel came across like Apex, then it, you know, it favors
is my position a lot more that it's, you know, being pro-Israel, being a Zionist undermines
the argument of Palestinian emancipation. It's antagonistic to Palestinian emancipation
because Zionism is an ethnoreligist supremacist ideology.
Now, of course, we will have this conversation eventually. I think I have an opportunity to
potentially talk to Jeremy Benamy, which I would love to do. He has an open invite to
have honest discourse on this broadcast where we can put out our opinions and we can have
a reasonable conversation about whether or not being pro-Israel is antithetical to being
pro-Palestine or not, and why we should care about the demographic concerns of the Zionist
state as people who believe in humanitarian values. But that's for a different day.
He doesn't seem reasonable in the tweet. I think he's more reasonable than APEC is my point.
All right. Hasn't Jeremy Benamy taken issue with you historically? Yes, of course, because
I also rail against liberal Zionism as well. And Jeremy Benamy is a liberal Zionist. So,
of course, he has a major issue with me. Dude, people who even self-identify as like
being prominent critics of Zionism, Peter Beynart has taken issue with my criticisms
of liberal Zionism. And I like Peter Beynart. You know, we've had this conversation. There
are certain, there are certain positions that I take that liberals, Zionists find unfathomable
and outright anti-Semitic, but at least they won't say that it's like considered anti-Semitic
because they know a little bit better than to do that.
Like the comparison between Nazism and Zionism,
that is a big no-no for a lot of people who are, you know,
critics of Israel.
Specifically Jewish critics of Israel.
Because I think, I mean, the Holocaust is understandably,
the Holocaust is understandably played a profound role
in the development of modern Judaism
and also plays a formative role in Zionism as well, because it's such a historically
important atrocity that impacted the entire Jewish world.
So that is the reason why Nazi comparisons come across as very difficult to swallow for
many people who would be critical of Israel to a degree far beyond J Street, like Peter
Beynart.
But there's a difference between having robust debate on this issue rather than simply saying,
nope, you're anti-Semitic, fuck you, you're Nick Fuentes, you should not have a platform.
There is a difference, okay?
J Street does not entertain that level. J Street does not do that. Many other Zionists do that,
where they'll cynically claim that I am an anti-Semitic person and not one that has combated
anti-Semitism, but also has a significant difference in opinion who's not precious about
making this comparison, because it's important. It's in the spirit of understanding.
It's in the spirit of Holocaust scholarship to make that comparison.
That's the purpose of Holocaust scholarship. That's what I believe.
Right? You don't have to cozy up to them because they defend it you once.
There is no... It's very strange that people look at this as cozying up.
I'm explaining to you that there are varying degrees. There's different ways of looking at it.
They're not even defending me. They're simply defending the principle of funding an event.
Peter Bynard is not Jay Street. It's my knowledge.
Anyway, that was one other point that I wanted to make,
but I think we're buttoning up the College Democrats
of America saga until Republicans fucking keep hammering
that point over and over again today,
as they I assume will continue doing.
We're moving on to the strength. No stop. I don't care about the J&S article chatter. Please stop spamming it
I don't want to I don't want to read the
750,000 fucking article about like oh as a Jewish person I was really scared that Hassan piker spoke at the College Democrats of America
Okay
For the last three years of Israel's genocide that's all we've written that's all we've read here on the broadcast, okay, please I
Don't know why you want to fucking pull me back into that. We're done with that
Okay, we're moving on.
We're moving on to a different line of attack
coming from the State Department.
So the State Department released a new report this morning.
This comes after the political terrorism event.
Okay.
Ken Klippenstein was the one who informed me this morning,
but here is a highlight.
Here is a headline,
the u.s. accuses cuba of long-term ideological warfare and infiltration
at the highest levels of the american government
the uh... new republic wrote about it to state department targets of some
piker in hannah marz daughter and dsa new state department report on cuba goes
after american citizens on the left now this
is a gross violation of the first amendment
there's no other way to read it
is a direct attack
on American citizens exercising their freedom of speech,
their freedom of expression.
Ken Clippastine reported on it this morning as well.
I said, why is the State Department naming
American citizens in their Cuba report
where they seemingly complain about our opinions
on US sanctions policy?
This is absolutely protected by the First Amendment.
They are trying to chill speech through intimidation.
This is a not so subtle way of bringing McCarthyism back
the United States of America and the targets are ironically enough also identical. Okay?
Because there is no domestic terrorism statute, as it would be directly at odds with the First
Amendment, the State Department is utilizing the broad powers that it has in the post-911
global war on terror universe. They're using the tools that they have at their disposal that
they've deployed over and over again by claiming that the people that are socialists, that criticize
the Trump administration are actually a part of an international network of terrorism.
Because they cannot do this, because they cannot do this
line of attack at the domestic level, they are trying to tackle it from the international level, okay?
They have a lot more tools at their disposal to quote-unquote tackle international networks of terror.
You claim someone is a terrorist, you claim that they're being funded by foreign entities,
and then boom, you can do whatever the fuck you want, deny them their habeas corpus,
this, torture them in Guantanamo Bay. This is the process that the American government
has deployed.
This report that Marco Rubio released, that he said, for more than six decades, the Cuban
regime has been leading sponsor of radical leftism and third worldism in the United States.
The State Department is exposing the full history of Cuban espionage and subversion
in our country. The American people deserve to know. Joe wrote, says, this report is a
justification for the military invasion of Cuba and the new Cointel pro rubio
lists the people's forum code pink and dsa is cuban front groups which the
trump administration will inevitably try to break and suppress that is
precisely what they're doing map petty has an opinion on this as well he says
that's exactly it the rubio camp does not have a problem with communism as an
economic system or an idea they believe that the lesser races sorry
civilizations of the world have gotten too uppity and tempot socialist states
are the easiest to make an example of. When you point out that islamo-leftism, or third
worldism is incoherent, that's the point. They're telling you to fear everyone else
in the world, and it's all one horde trying to take what's yours, no matter what justification.
This is why I was very frustrated. Dude, I can't fucking talk about the student protest
in India right now, man. I'm sorry, okay? Maybe we'll get to that in a little bit. I'm
I'm literally talking about my fucking federal government coming after me right now!
Jesus Christ!
Holy shit!
Spammers in the fucking chat!
Piece by piece!
We will get to it!
Okay?
Fuck!
You're saying chill.
Just don't read the comment law, but like this is not the first time this guy's been spamming it.
There's been like a ton of people in the chat because a big fucking protest movement that's being suppressed by the Indian government
I know I know we're gonna get to it
Jesus Christ
Yeah, the report is so insane that it actually states in all seriousness that Cuba's main
goal is to conquer the United States.
It's about as dumb as dumb as gets.
Don't be fooled, this is the State Department trying to build a foundational case for U.S.
military action should Trump decide to do it.
These various threads can only be understood through the Prism of the Cuban Regime's ideological
Foundation imbued by its founder with a singular goal of conquering the neighboring United States.
Since 1959, Cuba has been and without fundamental radical reforms will always be less a nation
state than all-encompassing intelligence and subversion operation focused around its existential
revolution against the United States. Amid all this, the Cuban people themselves continue to suffer
in hunger and darkness, forced to live in something akin to modern slavery under the
occupying regime held hostage by their own state. The report also is extremely
clueless on the big reason why Cuba is still offering its services to the extent it has any to
Russia and China, because it views doing so as good balancing behavior against a neighboring
adversary with infinitely more power than itself. A Cuban plot to undermine McDonald's,
the ultimate example of American imperialism. Yeah, the threat posed by Cuba is described in
far more dire terms than those employed by the U.S. intelligence officials and State Department
diplomats over several decades, reviving speculation that the Trump administration is
establishing a pretext for overthrowing the communist government Havana, a long-time goal
of Secretary of State Marco Rubio. That is precisely what's going on. But the icing on the cake
isn't just to create a fake, sufficient reason to militarily invade Cuba, a country that we have
been starving for 60 years and only have enacted more cruelty in the last decade.
Okay? But besides that, this is an opportunity to basically create a legal structure to claim
that domestic socialist movements, domestic left movements, are actually a part of this
international apparatus of left terror. This is why I was very frustrated and very worried when
I saw the counterterrorism seminar that they delivered this past weekend. I talked about it,
I warned about it, and this is complementary to exactly what they're trying to establish.
Okay? This is part of the reason why I brought up. Fergie Chambers' arrest in Spain,
directing the Spanish government to extradite Fergie Chambers, an American citizen,
with a profound amount of wealth, a centimillionaire, an inheritor of the Cox dynasty and the wealth who
funds certain protest movements and pro-Palestinian movements all around the globe as a terrorist.
Okay. They're trying to go after Fergie Chambers. They're trying to go after Roy Singham. Okay. Roy
Singham lives in China. Fergie Chambers, I don't know where he lives, but I guess he was in Tunisia
or something. And they are using the Spanish government. They use the Spanish government to
to intercept them at the point of travel and arrest them.
And now they're demanding that Fergie Chambers get extradited to the United States of America,
so we can be prosecuted in the United States of America.
Southern District of New York is actually playing a role in the Rico case against Roy
Singham.
Now, neither of these people are people in my sphere of influence or in my orbit in
any way, shape, or form.
I just know of them.
Gia's actually criticized a lot of the stuff that I do. I'm too reformist for him, whatever.
I think it's still a clear-cut example of fascism to try to actively suppress, punish, and claim
that all people that go against American foreign policy, American citizens that go against American
foreign policy are all actually terrorists. Okay? That's what they're doing. Centimillionaires,
as you reform, is this funny? I mean, he is more radical than I am. Let's be real.
So, 99-page State Department report on Cuba is drawing accusations of McCarthyism from
peace groups and civil liberties advocates for naming private American citizens, including
a member of Congress' daughter, over their opposition to U.S. policy.
Report titled, Cuba Capital of 21st Century Communism, Cast the Island as Decades Long
covert threats that has infiltrated the highest regions of the U.S. government and cultivated
generations of American activists in a section on the revolutionary tourism, it named Shreemurah
Assam Piker, Amazon Labor Union founder Christian Smalls, the Democratic Socialist of America,
former U.K. Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn, and Isra Hersey, a campus activist and the daughter of
Representative Ihan Omar, over their participation in March 2026-8 convoy to Cuba. It goes on the
note that Hersey was suspended from Barnard in 2024 for organizing Gaza solidarity encampments.
Why is the State Department naming American citizens in their Cuba report where they seemingly
complain about our opinions on U.S. sanctions policy?"
Piker wrote,
This is absolutely protected by the First Amendment.
They are trying to chill speech through intimidation.
Medea Benjamin of Code Pink, whose group is also named, called the report McCarthyism,
Plain and Simple, Stole Dropsite.
The Code Pink is now under Treasury Department investigation for bringing medical supplies
to Cuban children's hospitals.
The people delivering medicine are under investigation, not the officials enforcing
policies that deprive Cubans of medicine, food, fuel, and electricity, she said.
One of the things that I have been very frustrated by is that they've been signaling that they're
going to do this for the longest time, and a lot of fucking liberals have been celebrating
this thinking, oh, they're packing up our opposition in the Democratic Party.
They're going to take care of all the fucking nasty little communists that we hate, too.
They don't realize that this is inevitably going to impact them as well.
This is just the starting point.
The real reason why they're doing this is because they want to eradicate the First Amendment.
And if liberals actually play ball with this, if they appease the fascist monsters, they
too will be in the same fucking concentration camps that we get sent to first.
A good time to remind people that McCarthy isn't really just targeted subversives within the government, which resulted in numerous government workers being fired on suspicion of being gay.
This was known as the lavender scare, and we're seeing this already with the vilification of trans people. Yes.
It's said the blockade that the report exists to justify has left Cuba with shortages of
medicine, a healthcare system starved of supplies, and a collapsing power grid.
Cuba poses no threat to the American people, the group said.
The report makes no mention of the U.S. energy embargo imposed in January, which the group
Trump has noted, calls nationwide blackouts and devastating collective punishment across
the island. This month, 136 countries at the UN voted to condemn the suffocating economic
sanctions on Cuba, with the US and Israel among the handful opposed.
Yeah, first they came for the communists, and I did not speak out because I was not
a communist. Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not
a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because
I was not a trade unionist, then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because
I was not a Jew, then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
History doesn't often repeat, but it rhymes is what they say, right?
It's a cliche.
Well, right now, history isn't even rhyming, it's just repeating.
This is a justification for McCarthyism, and because they can't do that off domestic policies
because there's no domestic anti-terrorism statute in this country, they're doing it
by creating a sufficient legal environment with the vague international terrorism statute
that exists post-global war on terror. And they will trap regular dissidents, liberals
as well.
A new State Department report on Cuba's campaign of subversion against the United States of
virtual government blacklist against left-wing Americans and groups linked to last week's
Rubio led summit on political terrorism. The report is unusually candid about the government's
targets. Many of the most significant upheavals in recent American political history from the
George Floyd rise to the rise of Antifa to the explosion of pro-terrorist activism on
American college campuses can be linked in some way, shape, or form to Cuban influence,
the report says.
So remember when Donald Trump was like, China is the reason why the election was stolen
and China is the reason why everybody hates me? Marco Rubio is doing the same, but this
This time he's saying Cuba is the reason for why Black Lives Matter is a protest movement
grew in this country.
It is the highest level of delusion.
Everyone with a fucking working brain cell understands that this is an abject lie, but
it doesn't really matter.
They're spitting on our face and telling us it's raining.
As for those who these supposed agents of Cuban influence are, the report is remarkably
explicit.
like Ben Cohen of Ben and Jerry's ice cream fame, Mayor's Zoram Mammdani and Karen Bass,
media figures like Amy Goodman and Assam Piker, organizations like the Democratic Socialist
of America and the Amazon Labor Union.
The implication is clear. Secretary of State Mark Arubio thinks there should be a modern
day blacklist of the political left in America. In fact, the report explicitly mentions the
blacklist, McCarthy-era investigations and prosecutions of the 1950s and their effectiveness
at dismembering the Communist Party USA. The 100-page report titled Cuba, the
capital of 21st century communism, was released this morning. An entire section
of the report, numbering over three pages long, is dedicated to the Democratic
Socialists of America. The Democratic Socialists of America serves as a
particularly potent illustration of the ideological victory of Cuba's efforts,
the position itself as the spiritual capital of third-worldest radicalism,
the report says. This represents a significant advantage for the Cuban
influence operation, a venue no longer needs to rely solely on intelligence penetration
or asset cultivation to exert influence over the United States. Though the report concedes
that DSA was not shaped by the direct intangible influence of the Cuban government and that
it has organic ideological commitments, it insists that none of this, none of that is
to say the group has no ties to the Cuban regime and its influence network. Instead,
the report points out the group's delegations to Cuba as evidence of Cuban influence. For
For more than six decades, the Cuban regime has been leading sponsors of radical leftism
and third worldism in the United States.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a post on Twitter linking to the report, whatever
you think of DSA, it is hardly fringe.
It claims as members prominent politicians like New York Mayor Zahm-um-Dani, and it
has helped to nominate dozens of politicians like him in the office in recent years.
Bernie Sanders identifies as a democratic socialist having himself popularized the term
as do representatives Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib who are card-carrying members
as well as Mamdani.
The Cuba report follows last week's Rubio-led International Summit to Political Terrorism.
That summit, as I reported, introduced a new term, Far-Left Terrorism, abbreviated FLT,
a term it never really defined, which by the way, it's not supposed to.
vagueness is a part of the process. Okay? That's why it's perfect. It's vague. You can
slap it on anything you want to from old folks that are sitting at, you know, no-kings rallies,
to people who say, orange man is a cheeto in the dang White House, all the way to, you know, more
radical parts of the protest movement against Donald Trump. Vagueness is a feature, not a bug,
Exactly. Speaking at the summit, Rubio vowed that further new terrorist designations for
left-wing groups would be coming soon. Jeremy Lewin, the Undersecretary of State for Foreign
Assistance, linked last week's political terrorism summit to today's Cuba report,
saying on X for seven decades, the Cuban regime has been behind both the ideological underpinnings
of Third Worldism and subversive organizing structures of the new radical left political
terrorists that Secretary Rubio called out with clarity last week.
But virtually all the summit could do is substantiate the supposed scourge of political terrorism
must have focused on groups that are almost comically dated, like the 70s era, Symbianese
Liberation Army, or the Weather Underground.
The summit was vague about what are the equivalent groups today.
Today's Cuba report, however, names names in an obvious attempt to stigmatize American
citizens who are very much politically active today. In some cases, there are even sitting
politicians from Congresswoman Maxine Waters to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.
I read the 100-page report and counted references to at least 43 contemporary American groups
and individuals which the report identifies as follows.
Suzanne Adelie, the president of the National Lawyers Guild, who participated in the New
western america convoy and who the report notes praise venezuela's 2024 elections the amazon labor union
antifa asada's daughters a chicago-based black lives matter abolitionist offshoot that trains young
activists in the radical spirit of asada chicorps association for investment in popular action
committees apac a california-based umbrella nonprofit that funds left-wing media and delegations to
cuba and venezuela caron bass current mayor of los angeles and former congresswoman who was a venced
Seremos Brigade Organizer in the 1970s is real. I used to talk about carambasses like radical
politics back in the day.
Hassan, if you weren't CIA, I bet you'd be shaking in your boots right now.
Yeah, no, this this obviously once again to all of my naysayers on the more radical elements of the left.
This once again proves that I am obviously a federal agent. That's this is how it works.
works.
Media Benjamin, Black Alliance for Peace, Black Lives Matter, Chesa Buden, the former
District Attorney of San Francisco, Changing Frequencies, Claudia Jones School, the Washington
D.C. based organizing collective that conducts popular education pro-cubal lobbying, Code
Pink, Women for Peace, Ben Cohen, Claudia de la Cruz, the co-founder of the People's
forum, IFCO executive director and 2024 presidential candidate for the party for socialism and
liberation. Obviously, PSL is being determined as a front group for Roy Singham. That's like
the big RICO case that they have developed right now. And even if you have your disagreements
with the PSL, even if you have disagreements with the people's forum, understand that this
is not going to stop there and you're a fucking idiot if you think, if you think that, that
this is just about radical communists, okay? The main politics sub is defending you again
on topic. Look at that. State Department targets, uh, Hassan Piker and Ian Omar's daughter,
did you say what a massive waste of resources and time for the American people? Yes, for
the American ruling class. However, this isn't always been a top priority. Yeah. I mean,
I'm glad that like redditors are actually beginning to recognize that the the the sincerity and the severity of the crisis at hand, you know,
I mean, it's such a fucking ridiculous, it's such a fucking ridiculous take
to claim that Cuba, a country of nine million, that is 90 miles off of our coastline, that
we have actively starved for the last 60 years and only gotten worse in our starvation policies
in the last fucking 10, is capable of invading ideologically, militarily, doing anything to
the United States of America.
It's not only impossible to believe, but it's also, there's no evidence for it whatsoever.
I'm going to say something that I is going to anger my fellow Republicans about
mom Donnie listen to his interview with Lulu Navarro for a low information voter
who has no time to pay attention to the sources of his message what he's saying
is absolutely brilliant in his attacks against the right the tone of what he's
saying is brilliant it's part folksy every man republics of a band of the
working class are a bunch of elites without being harsher conspiratorial he
has gotten very strong very fast and is evolving his national message to the
the rest of the country. Despite my abject fear and repulsion of socialism, it is really
impactful. If Democrats are really smart, they will nominate someone with this tenure
and tone on economics and national policy, leaving out Israel and international politics,
which is a whole other ball of wax. If Democrats do this in 28, we have a huge fucking problem.
huge fucking problem we will not be able to podcast bro our way out of
what is this
the dichotomy
Destiny fuck mom Donnie destiny says you're looking forward to be banning people from a subreddit who make positive post about mom Donnie
I think all these dsa types or enemies is just too much. Yeah, I mean, this is
This is the fucking federal agent, you know, I mean wishes he was a federal agent
He just doesn't have enough impact for the federal government to work with him ironically enough
But yeah, he's such a fucking nasty little vindictive
Shit head. I don't see such mom Donnie
Um, AOC is whatever. Fuck mom Donnie and I'm banning all if you if you write any positive shit about mom Donnie
Somebody you're gonna source the fuck out of it. Okay, no more of the like he fixed the New York budget or any of that bullshit
I think all these people enemies you can't it's just too much like all the DSA cringe fucking shit is too much
I don't care. It's it cannot be until I see anybody the only reason why I let AOC slide is because she is willing to push back
Against the super left people. I've never seen mom Donnie do it. Don't know if he would do it
But if I see him do it, then I'll change my opinion on it
But at this point, he's like, he's such a petty little tyrant in his like little circle on the internet.
It's so funny.
Like who listens to this and goes, yeah, this guy's fucking kicking game right now.
He's so based.
How do you read?
This is anything but like a bitter man who has no power, no prominence and is just like talking to an increasingly shrinking irrelevant group
of individuals that is basically a fucking cult. AOC is the only actual R word progressive.
Fuck her too.
I feel like it's a little bit absolute based. AOC my queen.
Existential for our party to our party. It's like, bro, it's not your party. Okay.
Like, this is the thing that I understand. He always talks about it like he was like
DNC shouldn't be inviting Hassan. They should be inviting me instead. Oh, I wish they would give me the power one day
So I could like really fix everything and it's so funny because it's like dude. What are you talking about?
Like you're a deeply unserious
ego maniac
You're a narcissistic sex pest. You've platformed every white supremacist in the last decade
It's your fucking life.
And if you want to actually have impact in American politics, stop trying to fucking
harm the left movement in this country.
It's such a strange thing for this guy to like present himself as this real beacon of
prosperity, a real force to be reckoned with within the liberal Democratic Party when the
The Democrats don't want anything to do with them either.
You can't be running around being like, our party needs to purge the left flank when it's
not your party, okay?
We, our, these terms are not appropriate.
I oppose the framing that I am a part of the Democratic Party in the ways that people talk
about it, where I say, like, I'm not a liberal.
And yet, sucks to suck for Barelli, Bonarelli, Epstein, Epstene.
But, you know, our movement is more a foundational part of the Democratic Party than he is.
Part of that is because he's just a hanger on.
He's just trying to claw his way into some kind of relevancy, but failing to do so because
he gets in his own way every step of the way.
But ever be able to criticize to the left is just fucking crazy.
If you're interested in ASC.mumdani, ASC is whatever, fuck mumdani.
You know?
I don't.
Yeah.
Yeah, razor-sharp political instincts once again demonstrating that he knows where he knows where the winds are blowing.
If he had real ideological commitments, if he had real ideological commitments, rather than operating off of pure resentment,
Okay, he would recognize where the movement was, where the momentum was, and he wouldn't position himself as being unbelievably antagonistic to that movement.
Not to say that, like, DSA would ever welcome someone like Destiny into its own ranks, but he could at least dupe people into believing that he was a progressive force, right?
But he's so fucking self-centered and so chock-full of personal resentment.
He is driven by his animosity to those he has declared ideological enemies due to the
fact that at some point we've made him feel small, we've made him feel stupid, we've
made him feel silly, only because he positioned himself against people like myself and the
environment shifted from under his feet. Okay? Like with Israel, Israel is one of the best
examples of this, right? Like he thought, as he said over and over again at the time, like,
oh, Hasan is losing everything. We're going to make, we're going to destroy him. Everyone is,
everyone is going to know that he is a nefarious force, a bad force in American politics. And by
By 2025, I will have actually generated a lot more buzz than a song, something along
those lines.
It was such a stupid thing that he said.
He's also very mad about Adam Mockler as well I guess.
Never mind the lib media is never covering any of the Hassan shit.
This is literally Adam's girlfriend kill me.
The whole space is cooked this fuck.
He's like going after Adam Mockler's girlfriend apparently.
Because he doesn't like that Adam Mockler is not sufficiently defending him.
Not realizing this is precisely the reason why people find you to be odious.
He's targeting Sam Cedar Adam Mockler Brian Tyler Cohen David Pacman. Yeah, he's
His girlfriend called him pro Israel, which he is yeah, he is I don't know why he's like running away from it when he when at the
apex of the genocide
He was running all over talking about how pro-Israel he is that shit's not gonna go away
He still is pro-Israel. He hasn't even positioned himself as having like a a change of heart now
Anyway, so
Ken Klippenstein
finishes the article with guilt by association at its finest, but what exactly are they guilty of?
What the report shows isn't that any of these people are knowingly taking directs from foreign
power only that they disagree with the U.S. government on Cuba policy or at most agree with Cuba.
Their views can be wrong, aggressively, offensively wrong even, but it's their goddamn rights as
Americans to hold them. Which by the way, I don't know why Ken is posting that part over here.
would he mean aggressively and offensively wrong? He wants to, he wants to maintain his fucking contacts
within the government for saying stuff like that. Yes, George Floyd is on the list, I know.
Yeah, Iana Presley is mentioned here too, which is crazy. Democratic congressman who the report
Port knows publicly praised the convicted murderer as Sadashikor upon her death, and me as well.
And Amy Goodman too.
He's so obsessed with his own self-mythology that he forgets how weird and pathetic he
comes off while simultaneously thinking he's being hard as hell.
I feel like it's a perfect representation of how liberals obsess over identity whereas left is worried about outcomes in reality
Do you think them castings broad and thin that will absolutely agitate the Democratic Party?
Right now is probably the worst time
Or, I guess, from their perspective, from the perspective of the government, it's the
best time to do this, because there is already internal commotion within the ranks of the
Democratic Party, and they are not going to stand in opposition.
If they see this, I suspect some, and I am, it would be phenomenal if the Democrats actually
shocked me and did what they would normally, they're supposed to normally do in opposition
Trumpism, right? But I suspect a lot of power brokers in the Democratic Party are gonna look to
this as a gift. Especially considering that while all this stuff is happening, they have been agitating
in the exact same direction as the right. There's not a lot of daylight between what you hear from
Fox News about Democratic socialism, about people like myself, and the likes of near attended.
who are spokespersons for the establishment wing of the party.
They see the growth of democratic socialism within the ranks of the Democratic Party as a real threat, as an existential threat.
So they probably look to this as the federal government doing them a favor.
Will they stand in opposition to Trumpism or will they appease the fascist mob?
Will they appease the growth of fascism in this country?
We shall see.
This is the bipartisanship they always talk about, yes.
What is this?
Okay, Osama keeps getting held by AutoMod.
You're using block term, maybe?
Is that why?
Oh, Orlando J. Perez, Professor of Political Science at UNT Dallas, who writes extensively
on Cuba says, State Department's new Cuba report performs a kind of ventriloquism seeding
Havana behind 60 years of American protest and treating every voice raised against racism
of empire as Cuba throwing its own. It reads Asada Shakur's words on Black Lives Matter
site, it is our duty to fight for freedom as evidence of Cuba's authorship, as though
black Americans needed an offshore script to name their own oppression.
Reducing civil rights struggle to foreign manipulation denies the country's radical history and
strips domestic organizers of their agency an argument that is, at once historical, ahistorical,
productive and politically dangerous, it reaches the conclusion by borrowing the left's own
romance with Havana, quoting Jacobin approvingly and dressing the result in CIMMOs and a 1987
rand note.
When an official document recasts civil rights history and campus dissent as foreign subversion,
it hands the state a license to treat disagreement as disloyalty, the same reflex Washington
indulged in the 1950s and left ordinary Americans to pay for it.
You made the list?
I know, Chatters.
I know I made the list.
I was talking about it, or this is why I'm covering it.
Has any major media picked up the story yet, or might like MS now pick it up this evening?
Here's the problem.
A lot of these dissidents that have been identified,
this might come as a surprise to absolutely no one
in this community, are also major critics of Israel.
While the issue is tied to Cuba,
okay, a country that we as Americans can freely travel to
with obvious government restrictions that we abide by,
they can't connect this movement to Palestine
Palestinians in any meaningful capacity. So they're using Cuba as the foreign entity that
these domestic activists and organizers are getting their notes from.
This also works twofold. It works twofold because they also have an interest in militarily
destroying Cuba and potentially militarily occupying Cuba, right? Waging war against Cuba,
not just the economic war that we have been waging for decades, but direct war
with the might of the U.S. military. The only thing holding back the American government as it stands
is that we have our hands wrapped up in the quagmire in the Strait of Hormuz.
That's the only thing holding back the American government currently. If that went away,
Today, if that went away, we absolutely would overnight look for an easy W by militarily
invading Cuba.
It is Iran that is holding America back currently.
You all need to respond to this like the Yippies, make it a ridiculous spectacle to punish them
for going after you.
One of the best stunts the Yippies did was walk into the House of Un-American Activity
Committee hearing wearing decked out tricorne hat revolution in a war costume to make a
case for the First Amendment.
Okay, dude, that is the corneous.
Oh my God.
Yeah, I'd rather go to prison, man.
I'm literally I'm if I'm going to Guantanamo Bay
or if I'm already if I'm already getting my fucking ass beat by the federal government for no reason I'm not gonna look
corny right before that happens. Okay. That's crazy.
Anyway, another internal, here's some good news and a sea of bad news.
Tulsa research poll released on 720.
This is a, uh, a pollster associated with the Oblel said campaign.
So it can be read as an internal poll shows Oblel said at 56% and Haley
Stevens at 40%.
Abdul Al Sayed leads in head to head matchup.
Abdul Al Sayed leads Haley Stevens, 56 to 40%, plus 16, leaving just 4% of
primary voters still undecided following Mallory McMorris withdrawal from the race.
Al Sayed has effectively consolidated the electorate and vaulted past the 50% mark.
The underlying personal popularity of the two candidates continues to
define the trajectory of this primary.
Al Sayed maintains a broad and deeply resilient well of goodwill among
likely primary voters outpacing Stevens net popularity by 31 percentage points.
Obzol says it sustains a strong 69% favorable rating to 70% unfavorable.
Haley Stevens then enters the final stage of the race with a significantly more fractured
image at 54% favorable and 34% unfavorable with a plus 20 net favorability.
So here's the thing.
This is an internal, but these margins are so vast that in the absence of like any independent
polling. You can look at the trajectory of the campaign. You can look at the trajectory
of where things are headed. Also, on the other side of the story, there are no internal polls
that Haley Stevens has released since the Glenn Gareth internal. The Glenn Gareth internal
that came from the newspaper that had endorsed Haley Stevens showed Haley Stevens with an
eight point bump over Abdul, but she hasn't released any additional internals.
Given the fact that they have refused to release any internals, and I suspect that they have
conducted internal polling, and the intensity in which a lot of establishment Democrats
have swarmed this race to get Gary Peters, the outbound senator to come out and endorse
Haley Stevens, it's probably not looking too good. This is speculative, but I assume, judging by
these numbers, judging by the Abdul side and their interest in releasing internal polling
that shows Abdul's popularity increasing and judging by the fact that Haley Stevens has
refuse to release any new internal polls. This is a reasonable thing to suspect.
This does not mean that we stop pushing, because once again,
once again, there is a tremendous amount of money and powerful entities backing Haley Stevens here.
Okay. The Steve's approval here among Democrats is as low as that post sexual assault scandal, Platner.
Here's Sam Robinson, local reporter, after Elizabeth Warren came out and endorsed Abdul El Sayed, which I thanked.
I said thank you, Senator. Queen Elizabeth Warren.
for Senate in Michigan.
Abdul is the only candidate in this race not taking corporate money,
and he's fighting to get money out of politics altogether.
Abdul's studied to be a doctor, and he's fighting for every single American
to have affordable, high-quality healthcare.
Abdul has been a card-carrying union member, and he's fighting for working people.
That's why he's endorsed by the United Auto Workers,
workers, and he's growing a movement of working people all across Michigan. And
that's why I'm endorsing Abdul. He is the fighter Michigan needs in the
Senate. Michiganders deserve a senator who will fight for you, not for special
interest, running millions of dollars in TV ads to buy this seat and make no
mistake. Abdul is the only candidate in this race who can build the grassroots
movement needed to win in November for money in your pocket to get money out of politics.
What gives and deliver Medicare for all? Well, what about Senator, Senator Warren?
I raise you the counterpoint. Israel comes to me in my dreams.
What about that for a salient, reliable, winning message?
I don't know if you're aware of Mike's perspective on this, but Abdul's a lock and you should just
focus on other candidates now, since the races you believe aren't close will lose by 1 to 2%
if we don't change our focus. I don't necessarily agree. I do think that Abdul is a higher likely to
win, but it's never a lock. That's crazy. And I'm doing both. Kai Newkirk is coming up tomorrow.
Okay. This is the last, this is the last opportunity you have. If you're in Arizona,
if you're outside of Arizona, you should phone bank for Kai Newkirk. Kai Newkirk is,
is, Kai Newkirk is obviously another close race. One that Israel has intervened in, that
race, Israel has like directly tried to intervene in ironically enough. But yeah, you can phone
bank for him. That's tomorrow. It's the last day to do it.
But yeah. So, Elizabeth Warren said this and then Sam Robinson also highlighted it said,
this tracks with the anecdotal evidence I've gathered that most of the people I talked
to were planning to vote for McMorah are now voting for El Sayed. I'm not finding McMorah
to Stephen's supporters in the wild. Stephen's has also courted them. What has she done?
court them. Your vote is your vote. If you already submitted a ballot for my friend,
Mallory McMarrow, be sure to spoil it and request a new ballot.
That's not really courting them. That's just saying like vote for me instead.
They're playing attack ads with you in them in Wisconsin. Now it's pretty neat.
Donovan McKinney also got, Donovan McKinney also got some decent pickups here at DSA National
endorsement for Donovan McKinney and also Summer Lee endorsed them. Donovan McKinney's
running against Shreeth Thanadar. But yeah, some good news and a sea of bad news. Francesca
Hong is our other target here as well. Francesca Hong is going up in a competitive, loaded
primary field where the Wisconsin Democratic Party is making moves. They brought back
Crowley to enter the race because they despise Mandela Barnes as well. Mandela Barnes is
obviously in a head-to-head matchup with Francesca Hong. Francesca Hong has been the front runner.
And, you know, that's our gal. Tom Tiffany has been attacking Francesca Hong because I think the
Republicans read the writing on the wall. They recognize that she is already the front runner.
Okay, not only did Francesca Hong use the Sampagos platform to raise money, she also
excites the $7,000 from a Mao Zedong's response with a death of at least 40 million people.
Wisconsin doesn't need Mao-inspired Chinese communism.
We need common sense.
Francesca Hong said this, you Tom Tiffany.
In December, Tiffany appeared on the quartering podcast with Jeremy Hamley, who has said Hitler
had actually done some good things defending a camp-assuance t-shirt as dark humor and
has repeatedly made anti-Semitic remarks.
Could clap back from Hong
New Hong ad is basically acting like it's the general everyone. I'm state representative Francesca Hong
I'm running for governor of Wisconsin to protect our natural resources and lower utility costs for working families
Last year I introduced legislation that puts a moratorium on the construction of new
Hyperscale AI data centers
I also introduced a bill that would cap utility costs at 2% of annual household income.
Lately, a lot of my opponents are changing their tune.
You can't claim to care about our environment.
Yeah, now they're starting to fucking see the writing on the wall.
Phonies, all of them.
When you're selling out the boundary waters, giving tribal lands to oil pipeline polluters,
We're getting a 0% rating from environmental groups.
So when Tom Tiffany says he's going to stand up to AI data center developers, exciting
new technology, I know Wisconsin voters are too smart to believe those Washington lies.
I've had a plan since day one to lower costs for working families and protect our natural
resources.
This is how our campaign is making better possible.
Oh, and by the way, our AI policies don't end there.
Be sure to check out Labor Shift, where we help protect Wisconsin workers and firewall
to protect consumers from AI exploitation.
My queen.
I bow in her glory.
I love Francesca Hong.
She is fucking amazing.
Okay?
will win and this will be a a pivotal moment for the left movement.
Abdul and Francesca are the next targets from my perspective beyond all the other people that
I'm highlighting because they will prove that democratic socialists or at least
Bernie Cratt populism can win statewide elections in what is known as swing states.
Okay. How are Corey Bush's chances in your opinion? I think with Corey Bush, it's always going to be a tough race, but I think she can also win.
It's just she has not gotten the necessary attention from national groups. It's very frustrating.
trading.
Weird how the DEM party is actually trying to impose its own virtual blacklist as the
same target Sampiker DSA as Trump suggests.
Again, the DEM party is playing possum non-opposition to Trump is in part because they share common
internal enemies. Yes. There are lots of Wesley Bell ads. Obviously Wesley Bell is the APAC candidate
and APAC has been dumping boatloads of money into that race and it's a smaller market race.
So, obviously, a million dollars was a very long way, and the hope is that Cori can actually
out-organize.
Would kill for a Fox News poll?
Wait, what?
Are there any reason?
Is there any reason no one's used to be doing independent polls for such a consequential
race?
Um, yeah, you should focus on Berg who's trying to run against DVO. Guys, guys, guys, I already
have the people that I'm like not even paying sufficient attention to and you're like adding
new names out of the board like I don't.
He's crazy.
Same with Maine.
Obviously Tritathon is is going to need our help as well all over Larkin in Florida, Elijah
Manley in Florida.
There's a lot going on.
There's also Angie as well.
But yeah, Kai Newkirk.
Anyway, getting back to Francesca Hong though, here's the guy, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers
breaks his nearly year long silence on who he wants to succeed him.
David Crowley, could it backfire?
I asked Crowley after he got back in the race, the week after dropping out.
Now, what's interesting about Crowley is that he was pulling at like 3% or something and
He was gonna consolidate power behind Sarah Rodriguez.
Peggy not Angie, Angie's dog shit.
No, no, no.
I'm talking about in Florida.
What are you talking about?
Of course, Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota.
I'm talking about Angie Nixon in Florida, chatter.
What the fuck?
You think I would?
I wanted to know what you found in the box, so I just closed the box down and found out
That will free another Senate seat up to be honest and to move forward with America's interest.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Don't take any.
Yeah. Speaking of which, today's their deadline to register as a Democrat for the Florida primary.
Go register. Go register.
We got our work cut out for us in Florida.
Okay. Florida unfortunately hasn't been getting a lot of national attention from any of the
big groups. They just completely left a behind. And it's very, very frustrating to me. But
getting back into it, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers broke his nearly year long silence and
is backing David Crowley. Now, the reason why they're backing David Crowley is because
All of the centers were dropping out to endorse Rodriguez. They wanted to do the
2020 Biden blast on Rodriguez's campaign, but Rodriguez had a problem. Her campaign manager
was allegedly mismanaging funds or potentially even embezzling funds. And they actually did not
have any cash on hand at all. They were so wrong. They were so off target on how much
They had raised and how they had used those funds that Susan Rodriguez had to drop out
now
There's another guy running in the race Mandela Barnes who had positioned himself as a progressive back in the day
And then for one reason or not Susan's are Sarah Rodriguez. I apologize. I'm doing off top dome
There are so many fucking races. So my mistake for getting the name wrong
but
Mandela Barnes got zero support from the National Democratic Party,
and he lost a marginal race in the Senate. Okay? Having said that, however, since then, he has
reestablished himself as a centrist as well, and he is positioning himself as like the Mallory
McMoro-style candidate in the Goldilocks zone, where he wants to be progressive for the progressives
and moderate for the establishment enjoyers. But the problem is that is a dangerous environment to
be in. That's a dangerous environment to be in because you will be seen as far too radical for
the moderates and far too indecent and untrustworthy for the progressives when you try to sit on that
offense. So far, he's seen a decent amount, he's seen a decent amount of support. I see his supporters
on the fucking timeline. Sometimes they're like attacking Francesca Hong, which always shocks
me because they have like the watermelon emoji and their names and stuff. And I'm like, the fuck?
But in any case, but in any case, here's the issue.
Here's the issue for him. The establishment Democrats for one reason or another,
the Wisconsin Democratic Party for one reason or another and I don't know what it is.
Some people have speculated that there's like allegations of sexual harassment
and I don't know how reliable these algorithms are. People have written about it,
but for one reason or another they fucking hate him. Okay? Wisconsin Democrats fucking hate this
guy. I don't know what it actually is. There's just anonymous rumors swirling around. I don't think
that's like, uh, I don't think that might, I don't think that's the reason, but they despise him.
Okay. Mandela Barnes, not David Crowley. That's the reason why David Crowley came back in the race
because Governor Tony Evers could have just endorsed Mandela Barnes.
OK. Iggy just endorsed Mandela Barnes that probably would have given him the boost that
he needed to potentially defeat Francesca Hong. But it's very interesting that they
chose to do this further splitting the establishment lane.
Barnes was Evers' previous Lieutenant Governor. It's weird, I know. A bunch of big donors
dropped off a Senate campaign right at the end too. I know, I don't know what it was.
But they are still splitting the moderate lane once again because Mandela has some moderates
backing him.
And this is, of course, been fairly decent for Francesca Hong's chances, but she still
certainly needs our support.
But here is David Crowley being asked about coming back into the race, even though he
was at 3% last time around.
fire where Democrats on the ground see this as the establishment really trying to hand
pick the nominee. Well, I don't know who the establishment is and when you think about the
state of Wisconsin Governor, well, again, when you think about the state of Wisconsin, you look
at a black kid from the city of Milwaukee, this is not what the establishment looks like. And so
I am focused on what we need to do in order to win this race to make sure that we can defeat
Tom Tiffany in November. Could this backfire? The market law school poll in March found 86
Senate Democratic voters at a favorable view of Governor Tony Evers. But in May, Democratic
legislators turn against Evers budget surplus deal reached with the Republicans. Governor Evers
announced last year he was not running for a third term. He said at the time he wasn't endorsing,
but I'll never say never. If there's someone who really needs support and I want him to win, I might
get in. This is why normalizing free pass, I know this was back when he was like far more progressive.
You need to understand something about Mandela Barnes. Mandela Barnes is not a real progressive, okay?
It's really interesting that they're trying to rat-fuck Francesca Hong.
Nandila Barnes is a op. He just postured as a progressive for the longest time, but he's
not a real progressive now. Okay. I need you to understand that. He is trying to reinvent
himself as a, as a Pino progressive in name only in that Mallory McMorrell Lane.
decided the market law school poll in March found 3% of Democratic primary voters back
Crowley at the same time the poll found 65% of Democratic primary voters were undecided
also found Governor Tony Evers is approved by 86% of Democrats will he sway them darn
right heck no 84 votes.
So could this backfire where yeah so
So we shall see, but it is absolutely, it is absolutely a rat fuck or against Francesca
Hong. I mean, it's pretty open. They're pretty open about it too. They say it. They're running
the electability argument again. They're saying, oh, Francesca Hong can't win. She's too radical.
She can't win in a state like Wisconsin. Like we're actually, we're actually going to lose
if she's the candidate. It's not true. It's not true at all. And, and they just are terrified
of the momentum of Francesca Hong. Maybe some people genuinely think Francesca Hong's chances
are harder against Tom Tiffany than the other candidates, but I don't believe that. I think,
first of all, I think that's just objectively wrong. Okay. I think that's an objectively wrong
analysis, but maybe some people sincerely believe that. Okay. Perhaps some people sincerely believe
that, but a lot of people are terrified of her success, not of her failure, but of her success.
same with Abdul. Abdul's chances are far better in Michigan, but it doesn't matter.
These people are terrified, not of the failure of progressives, of the failure of the Democratic
Socialists, but of their success. They're scared that if these guys can be successful in swing
states, if these guys can be successful and popular and have an agenda that is objectively
popular in swing states as out and about democratic socialists. If democratic socialism is associated
with good governance, then they will lose what remains of their grip of power at the center of
the party. Okay? That's it. That's it. So they're doing everything in their power to try to cut the
the momentum of the left flank insurgency candidates.
The anti-data center thing seems to freak out centrists, and I don't know why.
I think centrists demonstrate fealty to corporate interests no matter what, yeah, but here's
another example.
Just look at the number of Canvas events on Mobilize for Denmuskansen Governor campaigns.
Here's a distribution.
Francesca Hong has 50.
Joel Brennan has won, Mandela Barnes 0, Keldoroy 0, David Crowley 0, one of these is an electable
campaign the rest aren't.
It's massive and the same thing happens with Abdul 2.
The organization efforts of the left is one of the keys to their success.
If you can't be on the ground for your voters, how can you expect them to show up for you?
I just hope that she doesn't break with with the barrage of attack ads that she will receive.
I hope that she doesn't cave because like there are a lot of people who have gotten very mad
at her on the timeline because she's like oh she's a police abolitionist all this shit
right.
You're too unserious to run for governor. It's bullshit. Okay. It's bullshit.
Anyway, so now let's get to Karen Bass also black with this. You're really amongst the
the radical of the radical? What is happening? Did someone just talk about the State Department
blacklisting or something? I covered it extensively already. Okay. Stop. We're moving on. We're
moving on to my favorite part of the day. Situation monitoring. Ladies and gentlemen,
that Allah is incoming.
People are getting off work and seeing the news, don't be grumpy, I know, I know.
Well, many have noticed that I have been a little bit extra grumpy because I woke up
to a fucking face full of news that determined that I'm a goddamn radical terrorist by the
fucking State Department of this goddamn fascist country that I happen to be the citizen of.
So I apologize for my grumpiness, but fear not, I will be taking an extended break soon
with my family.
So that's coming up in a couple of days as a matter of fact.
So I hopefully will be able to recover a longer break than I have in a long time.
That's right. Approximately four day break.
But I will be bringing my equipment with me on this family vacation, even though my mom and dad
petitioned against it. And the reason for why is because of this, because of this fucking war
that is on the verge of of exploding.
No, don't do that bro, what the fuck?
While I am on family vacation,
starting on Wednesday,
I will check in periodically with the news
And if there is something that I need to cover, if there's some breaking news that I definitely need to cover, which I suspect there might be, I will fire off the stream, same time that I normally would, same time that I normally would fire off the stream at.
not, but it will be a shorter one.
Having said that, let's get to the Ansarallah movement.
As I've talked about already, the Houthis sent some of their, the Houthis sent a coalition
to Iran for the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
And then that contingency came back and flew directly from Tehran to Zana Airport.
And Saudi Arabia wanted to maintain its blockade on Yemen and blew up the airport runway with
missiles. Now, the airplane landed at a different airport, but then the
Assad-Alam movement in retaliation to that turned around and attacked some of
the American bases out of Arabia and some of the civilian airports in Saudi
Arabia as well. This happened a couple days ago. This happened last week. Okay?
And since then, the Ansarullah has been aching to get into the fight. They did a mass mobilization, and part of the reason why Saudi Arabia has been trying to implement a blockade is because obviously if they don't, from their perspective, they don't maintain a blockade.
and if there is a direct flight between Tehran and Zana in Yemen, then they can
send more arms. The Iranians could send more arms to Yemen and beef up
their defenses and their offensive capabilities. This is something that the
Saudis don't want because the Ansarullah movement is an ever-present
a threat on the choke point, Bob El-Mandeb. The Bob El-Mandeb choke point is a straight
that is the entry point into the Red Sea. The Red Sea now that the Gulf, the Persian Gulf,
is rendered inaccessible by the Iranians, is the only way that Saudi Arabia can transit
their oil tankers. The only way that the United Arab Emirates could ship out their oil tankers
many of which pass through a pipeline from the Persian Gulf side all the way to the Red Sea.
This would have devastating consequences depending on the severity of this blockade that the
Ansarallah movement is intending to implement. This would have devastating consequences on Brent
crude prices. It would also have a devastating consequence on the Saudi economy and the economy
of the Gulf states that are still utilizing the Red Sea route.
Now Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthis, the Ansarullah movement, is saying they will block Saudi
shipping at the Red Sea Gateway.
Here it is across from Djibouti.
This is the Bob El-Mandeb Strait.
While the Houthis are primarily based out of Zanah, they still have targeting capabilities
can, you know, stop transit with ease from the, the Red Sea, I believe, the Fujaira port,
right? If I'm not mistaken, I'm sure this article will cover it.
Yemez, Ronnie back, Houthi rebels on Monday announced that they're imposing a maritime
embargo against Saudi Arabia in retaliation for a blockade on Yemen and a recent attack
on the Sana'a International Airport, threatening another vital waterway for global shipping
raising fears of renewed conflict. A Houthi military spokesperson, Yahya Saadi, said in
a video statement that the maritime ban against Saudi Arabia will be effective immediately.
Oh, sorry, the Fajera port is the UAE port on the Gulf of Oman. It's actually past the choke point
of the Strait of Hormuz. The UAE is using the Fajera port to ship out whatever it can.
Right? Isn't that the one or note? Is it the oil pipeline?
Okay, I'm, Yambu is the Saudi Arabian port, but the UAE is also utilizing the Saudi Arabian
pipeline as well. There's a, there's a oil pipeline that goes across Saudi Arabia that
dumps into the Yanbu port, which then will take ships through the Bob-Elmondip Strait,
and this is a way for them to avoid the Strait of Hormuz. Its capabilities are only around
5 to 7 percent of the regular ports on the Persian Gulf side, but it's still significant
And it's been in business since the Strait of Hormuz was closed.
There are very few details on how the embargo might work,
but the deputy head of the Houthi media office, Nasser bin Amer,
said on X that the Bab El-Mandeb Strait will be closed to the Saudis in response to what he called the kingdom's unjust blockade on Yemenis for over 10 years.
over 10 years. Babel Mandeb, the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, is the gateway
to the Red Sea, through which around 12% of the world's trade usually passes. A fourth
of global container trade transits through the 32-kilometer, 20-mile-wide strait to and
from the Suez Canal. The Houthis earlier demonstrated their ability to disrupt shipping,
where they targeted ships for months over the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza with over 100
vessels attacked. It's unclear whether the Houthis will resume that level of attack against
neighboring Saudi Arabia. There was no immediate response from Saudi Arabia.
The kingdom already faced pressure as it uses the east-west pipeline to the Red
Sea as an alternative to the Shreddah Hormuz, which remains in the grip that
Iran imposed shortly after the US and Israel attacked it on February 28th.
Here is the announcement breaking Houthis of Yemen announced a maritime
embargo against Saudi Arabia effective immediately. Saudi Arabia has now
exported 4.5 million barrels per day from Yambu in the Red Sea. This is their port in the Red Sea,
most of it heading south throughout the Babelmandep Strait between Yemen and Djibouti and Eritrea.
First, the Yemeni armed forces declare maritime embargo against the criminal Saudi enemy,
based on the equation of an eye for an eye effective immediately upon the issuance of this
statement. Second, we affirm the right of our great people to respond to the blockade with a
with a blockade and to respond to all escalation with all escalation, thus solidifying this
equation.
Third, the Yemeni armed forces affirm their complete readiness for all options, and any
foolish act committed by the reckless Saudi enemy through all escalation will be met with
a comprehensive and decisive escalation by Allah's will and power.
Fourth, we call upon the people of our great nation to continue the general mobilization
and general call to arms, and to be fully prepared for all scenarios and developments
and to support the fronts with fighters. Fifth, we extend our greetings with pride and reverence
to our great Yemeni people who turned out in an unprecedented million-man march on march
of warning and mobilization. We assure them that we will spare no effort in restoring
their plundered rights and ending the unjust siege imposed upon them, whatever the consequences
in repercussions relying on Allah and placing our trust in Allah.
So Saudi, the foreign ministry two hours ago released a statement claiming they're not
besieging Yemen.
Last week they literally bombed Zana Airport because a civilian plane was coming from Iran.
Holy shit, they wrote an effort post of all effort post.
The foreign ministry expresses the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's strongest condemnation of
the allegations made by the so-called military spokesperson of the Houthi terrorist militia
who accused the Kingdom of besieging the brotherly Yemeni people and claimed the imposition of
a maritime blockade on the Kingdom.
So they did do that, but this is classic Saudi cry-bullying.
Okay?
Because remember a blockade, if you're Saudi Arabia, this is how you implement a blockade.
You you you render travel
impossible
Which is precisely what they've been doing to limited degrees since 2015. It was far more severe back in the day
It caused massive famine if you guys recall I covered it at the time
There was a civil war that took place off to the Houthis one on Sadallah one against the
Saudi
against the Saudi-backed proxy forces, against the UAE-backed proxy forces, and the Houthis are a Zaydi Shia family.
Okay, so there's also like a religious...
There's this conflict also takes some religious shape as well. It's a sectarian civil war as well, right?
because there are Shias in Yemen and there are Sunnis in Yemen as well.
And, of course, Saudi Arabia was the worst actor in this conflict, implementing a man-made blockade that caused a famine.
Human rights abuse could be considered a genocide.
And of course they were backed by the United States of America because the Houthis were
Seen as a proxy to the Iranians given their Shia background so
What is this
Yeah, this was a
Sad state of affairs, but our hearts are heavy today for the 19 year old private Isabella Gonzalez of Carrollton, Texas
Bravian soldiers killed Friday in Iranian missile and drone strikes against US base in Jordan
90% of Yemeni don't support the Houthis either. Um, that is not true
for the record
There was a point in time when that could have been true that point in time is gone
So the reason why I say that is because of Israel. So even the, I'm literally a Yemeni
that lives in Zanaf. Okay, great. But the Asadullah movement grew its popularity due
do its opposition to Israel and its implementation of the blockade during Israel's genocide
in Gaza. Palestine politics in Yemen, if you are actually a Yemeni who lives in Zana,
you know better than I do, this reality, that no matter who is running the country, they
have always placed a special emphasis on Palestine. Okay? So much so that even the puppet leadership
even the Saudi back proxies have always maintained support for Palestine. Okay?
I'm born and raised in Zana. He's living in a bubble. I know this from even my Sunni
Yemeni friends who obviously have every reason to oppose the Houthis. Okay?
Okay?
Of every reason to oppose the Houthis that don't live in Yemen any longer, that a family
members who still live in Yemen, and my understanding of Yemeni politics is that Ansarallah was
able to maintain popular support due to its actions against Israel and due to what was
seen as what was seen as a historic victory against not only Israel, but also the Americans as well.
Okay. The Yemeni people are very proud. They try to force Shia on the Sunni. I know, I know, I know.
Yes. Okay. I already got it. I know. Yes, they're Shia. They're bad. You're Sunni and you hate them.
you're not the majority though. For the most part, the attitude in Yemen, even from
forces that opposed the Ansarullah movement, that fought against the Ansarullah movement,
and its leadership is that they put down their arms and they joined in the battle against Israel.
This happened, we watched it unfold. Okay, is there still opposition inside of Yemen
in areas, especially in areas where the population density is not as high from certain sects of Sunnis, absolutely.
But by and large, their actions, the Houthis' actions against Israel, has created popular support for the Ansarullah movement,
regardless of the sectarian issues that still, to a certain degree, exist.
Part of that is also because the Saudis are now the main defenders of the previous movement
and the previous leadership, the Sunni leadership.
it. Another L for America if you want to see it as that. You're wrong not only in Yemen
in the whole region. Oh dude, I'm not talking about Asalallah's popularity in the whole
region. That doesn't matter. We're talking about Yemen only. Yes, of course, Asalallah
is unbelievably popular in the rest of the region. Are you kidding me? That's not the
the conversation that we're having.
Conversation that we're having is that
there are literally is so sad that many of the Yemenis
had to choose the side of the Houthis,
but shit happens when people experience famine
and are desperate for seven plus years
since the war with Saudi, exactly.
Yes, the Asala movement is unbelievably popular
outside of Yemen, it's not even a question.
But,
Yemen endured a genocide that was backed by Saudi Arabia, that was backed by the United
States of America.
Yemen also then, in the aftermath of all of that, the Asala movement went and fought and
implemented a blockade, a successful blockade that bankrupted one of Israel's two major
ports to punish it with a version, with their own version of sanctions basically, with their
blockade over the Babel-Mundib straight of ships that were transiting to Israel or were
flagged or owned by the Israelis. And they did this very successfully. It stopped ships
from entering the Israeli port coming from the Red Sea. It bankrupted one of Israel's
two major ports. And yes, this created a unique environment in a country that had experienced
tremendous sectarian conflict in a civil war to basically put their arms down and support
the Asala movement regardless of previous feelings.
Pro-Palestine politics in Yemen is unlike any other country.
There is no pro-Israel Yemeni leadership.
It's never existed.
Shia doesn't matter. Okay? The Houthis are only popular when they fight Israel, but otherwise
they're not popular, not in Yemen, nor the wider region. The Houthis are definitely popular
in the wider region, maybe not in the Gulf, but certainly popular in the wider region.
The genocide in Gaza gave many folks purpose and found themselves having to work with the
the Houthis if they want to do something about it, yes.
Why don't you grok it and chat GPT it?
The reason why I'm not grokking or chat GPTing this is because every single thing that's
written about Yemen, the poorest country on the fucking planet, is coming from either
the American State Department and is totally fucking one-sided and positioned against,
like you're not going to get a decent understanding of what's going on on the ground because there's
not a lot of fucking media on the ground, okay?
one. It's hard to make a correct assessment of the facts on the ground in a country like Yemen,
unfortunately. That's number one. Number two, if it's not coming from an American State Department
backed media resource or a think tank from Washington, DC, that very clearly has a specific
propaganda purpose here, it's coming from the Saudis. Most of the information that people repeat
over and over again about Yemen came from the Saudi government at a time when they were
implementing one of the most ruthless blockades that was causing a massive fucking famine in Yemen
and killing children in Yemen. Saudi, in order to create a sufficient reasoning for it, was just
making up a whole bunch of shit, greatly exaggerating, or outright blaming the Houthis for problems
that persisted inside of Yemen far before the Houthis actually came into power.
Anyway, so if you want to know ball, if you want to understand, if you want to better
understand the situation in Yemen, in spite of all of the outlets that are positioning
themselves in a very specific direction, understand that the onslaught movement, albeit
unpopular initially because it was a sectarian conflict, it was very bloody, has been able
to maintain popularity throughout Israel's genocide in Gaza, and even oppositional forces
have basically put down their arms and joined forces with the Asalallah ranks.
Even the Houthi militias, or not the Houthi militias, or even the Sunni militias and Sunni
forces in the country have joined forces with the Asalallah because of their war that they're
waging against Israel as it continues his genocide.
It is from Bloomberg Washington correspondent Tyler Kendall Tyler it is.
And obviously for all the fucking dullards in the chat this is not me endorsing their
domestic policies or anything like that.
That's not that's not where I'm coming from.
How do you verify the contrary to the establishment info?
Analysts that are Yemeni and also people that I know in my normie sphere that are from Yemen
who have family members in direct contacts inside of Yemen.
This headline with Blash this morning.
It definitely is, and that latest one that you mentioned is going to be a stark escalation,
Danny, as we get this confirmation from the spokesperson for the Iranian-Bat Houthi militia
group that they are planning to immediately implement this maritime blockade against Saudi
Arabia.
We should keep in mind the broader context here that we can't only see this through the
lens of the U.S. Iran war, that this is also related to a truce breaking down between Saudi
Arabia and the Houthis from 2022. We've seen this exchange of fire between the two sides,
but this is definitely the farthest that we've seen that specific thread go, considering that we
know Saudi Arabia has been relying on that east-west pipeline to move supplies to the Red Sea,
to the tune of that fort, and a half million barrels of oil per day. And last week we did
have Iran ask the Houthis to be ready to deploy assets to actually shut down that shipping route.
So we knew that there was action in motion to prepare for this. So we'll have to see if it
actually ends up getting imposed and what those ramifications are going to look like because
Danny and Isabel at this point commercial traffic at least observable transits are at a basic
standstill according to new satellite imagery that was analyzed by Bloomberg News and adding to the
risk. It appears that vessels that are moving. Who's crying? I don't know. Do you hear crying?
I don't hear it. Through with their transponders off or also being targeted. We have the IRDC
over the weekend saying that they halted at least four ships that had turned off their radars
completely. And keep in mind that is the way that most of these ships had been trying to make safe
transit through the waterway. All right, Tyler. Thank you very much. Bloomberg's Tyler Kendall
in Washington DC. Let's get a check on markets because despite that headline
volatility that back and forth Brent crew doing a whole lot of nothing just
holding at $88 a barrel it was at 90 earlier S&P 500 that's up about four
tenths of one percent as the NASDAQ outperforms a bounce back after the
worst week for chip stocks since liberation days 10-year yields move
higher by two basis points. It's about some of the movers on our radar this
morning. This morning we have learned the names of two of the service members
killed as a result of that Iranian attack on a U.S. base in Jordan. Both our Army soldiers
won an officer. First Lieutenant Tyler James Fian, who was 25 and from Hawaii, and Private
Isabella Gonzalez from Carrollton, Texas, who was just 19 years old. And we are learning
this morning they were not the only ones killed as this war widens.
Overnight the U.S. launching a wave of strikes on Iran, the ninth consecutive night of the
bombing as SENTCOM announces that human remains were found at the site where two
US service members were killed in that Iranian attack on the US base here in
Jordan. The remains likely those of the service member said to be missing after
the Iranian attack. We hit him very hard again tonight and we did that in honor of
the probably three, it's probably three as opposed to two great patriots. SENTCOM also
announcing that a service member was killed in Iraq during the control detonation of a downed Iranian
I don't know how the fuck that like it's so clearly wasn't a controlled detonation. I think they're just trying to
To hide the shame to the best of their ability
Like I don't I don't understand I mean accidents happen maybe but I
Have no reason to believe the official government narrative on any of this stuff
because
What gets out what they have to openly confirm?
Implies that these were active duty
Service members that died in battle. So they have a duty to report
To their you know next to kin their immediate family members. So this is the stuff that gets out
There's a shit ton more contractors that will that will never hear from that are either
currently inside of hospitals
There's a shit ton more
severe casualties that render them inoperable. They can't go back into battle. One of the
ways that the American government often hides the casualty data is by saying, oh, they had
a little bit of CTE, right? That can range from a guy who got shook up to a guy who's
basically a vegetable, okay? Like, the military has a way of reporting this stuff in a way
that doesn't come across as like super damaging. And so if you hear three people died, there's
probably a lot more hidden casualties. The casualty numbers are probably far higher.
one way attack drone the US strikes on Iran this weekend targeting Iran's
revolutionary guard believed to be responsible for the attacks on American
troops Iran has launched attack yeah they say TBI Sarinasi T I apologize TBI
traumatic brain injury across the region this morning targeting both Kuwait and
Bahrain the Kuwaiti army saying its air defenses are currently confronting
attacks by hostile drones. It was a combination of drones and missiles in that deadly strike
that hit the base in Jordan, video circulating online, appearing to show projectiles falling
over the base, some intercepted, but others making a direct hit. Sources telling us one
of those strikes hit a housing containment unit, raising questions among some military
experts about Iran's capabilities, despite the administration saying the Iranian military
was decimated.
Potentially, Iranians are changing their tactics.
They could be using more advanced ballistic missiles,
some that maneuver upon reentry, thus
making it more difficult for patriot to intercept them.
An official telling ABC News US fighter jet stationed
in the United Kingdom and Germany are now
being sent to the Middle East.
And this nearly five-month-long war,
which began with the US and Israel launching strikes on Iran,
appears to have once again brought traffic
through the critical Strait of Hormuz to a crawl. Market data shows only eight vessels
navigated the Strait on Friday, although Energy Secretary Chris Wright is disputing that.
Almost all the public data I've seen is incorrect. There's flow through two routes through the
Strait of Hormuz. The renewed fighting spiking the cost of oil and gas, a gallon of gas,
now $4 at a time when it's...
I mean, what's the expectation here?
Of course it was gonna happen.
Throw the MOU to the side
and these are the results you're gonna get.
This is, these are the results that you wanted to get.
Okay?
Now you got them.
That's where we're at.
Americans are already paying more for goods.
And it's worse overall.
It's worse, it's worse than last time around
because there's no buffer,
There's no strategic petroleum reserves. The reserves are at critical levels.
So, what's the expectation? How do you change this around?
Iran's missile and drone capacity has been massively underestimated.
We knew that from the 40-day war. The numbers of capabilities have been grossly underestimated.
But after this week, it should be clear that even the thickest observers in DC and the IRI is still holding back.
CBS News also covered this at nearly 100 U.S. service members have been injured in Iranian
attacks on multiple bases in at least this month.
U.S. officials told me some silver traumatic brain injuries most have already returned
to duty, too, the officials said.
Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Pernel confirmed the numbers in a statement to CBS, while nearly
100 service members were deemed to have some degree of injuries since July 7.
96 percent have returned to duty.
They are determined to get back in the fight.
The vast majority of injuries experienced were minor concussions.
updates will be posted on the defense casualty analysis system. God is good," Pernell said.
Yeah, minor brain injuries.
Yeah, just a little bit of brain damage for Israel is fine.
Due to inflation.
Both the Iranians and the Americans say they are still open to negotiation,
but as it stands this morning, it looks like we are closer to all-out war than any sort of
peace agreement and Americans around the world have now been issued a worldwide caution alert with
all right martha ratteds for us we appreciate it we now have the names of two of the three service
members killed in recent days in the war with iran depending on says they were killed during an
iranian attack on an airbase in jordan he comes as the u.s says it has retaliated for those strikes
and iran launches new attacks the escalating war also means rising gas prices they are now back
of the gun. The gun is now
available to the public. It's
available to the public. It's
available to the public. It's
back above $4 a gallon.
Charlie Dagida is in Jordan
and Charlie. What can you tell
us about these service
members? Yeah Good morning,
Nora. So the soldiers have
just been identified as 19
year old Isabella Gonzalez of
Carrollton, Texas, just 19
years old 25 year old first
lieutenant Tyler James free
and he's from Hawaii, both
assigned to Army Air Missile
For the night, straight night, U.S. forces unleashed wave after wave of airstrikes against
Iran, extending its reach and scope of targets beyond the Strait of Hormuz, according to
U.S. Central Command.
But Washington's vow to swiftly punish Iran for the deaths of U.S. service members has
this region bracing for much more to come.
U.S. officials tell CBS News a third U.S. soldier was killed in northern Iraq during
control detonation of an Iranian drone, bringing the total number of US troops killed in action
to 17 since the war began. Footage of the precision ballistic missile attack on the
US air base in Jordan suggested it came with little or no warning. Shocked military personnel
scrambled to get to shelters. The missile and drone barrage that killed two service members
with an additional one still listed as missing, was the second time in two days Iran managed
to launch a direct hit on that base.
Overall, four Iranian attacks in five days targeting US forces in Jordan has left dozens
wounded.
President Trump paid tribute to the fallen.
Well, we feel very badly, but you know those great people from the US were-
No, he didn't.
No!
No, he didn't.
No.
I'm sorry.
what he did, a tribute to the fallen, is a misuse. You are stretching the definition
of the word tribute, okay? That is crazy. Donald Trump literally, as always, in the
classic Trumpian manner, basically was like, oh yeah, they died. Is it two? Is it three?
I don't know like his first reaction in the media was we're really gonna punish Iran
For our our brave soldiers, and I think it's two maybe three who knows
Frankly, I don't care pretty much pretty much
Yeah, he's also he keeps saying like you better not do it again
Don't do it again, Iran! You got a couple, but don't do it again, like,
Houthis are being serious. Another tanker has been hit near the straight east of Oman. Another
vessel has been struck near the straight of Hormuz. UAE, the captain reports that the steering
system was hit. Wait, was this, is this them? Is this the Houthis? I don't think so.
By the way, Iran is not let up. Iran is still, of course, understandably going along with their previous retaliations.
Yeah, no, that's IRGC.
In more important news, the guy that scored for Spain was wearing a makespane and grayed-again
hat.
Great pictures throughout their fighting that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
But the recent U.S. airstrikes haven't focused on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, not dismantling
Iran's nuclear program.
The U.S. military has been sending more assets like aerial refuelers to the region, and the
deaths of the first U.S. troops in months has only furthered fears.
The U.S. military response is about to go to the next level.
Now with Jordan a new front line on this fight, the Jordanian Foreign Ministry has summoned
Iran's envoy in order to send a clear message demanding an immediate halt to all attacks,
the safety of its citizens is a red line that cannot be crossed. Nora? I'm watching this very
closely Charlie Daggett and Jordan thank you very much. Kevin I know you have new reporting
that the U.S. is sending additional military aircraft to the Middle East right now what's the
latest? Yeah and this coming as the president is weighing whether to widen this conflict now the
U.S. sending additional F-16 and F-35 fighter jets from bases in Europe towards the Middle East the
the U.S. is also increasing the number of aerial reaper drones.
Yeah, they just keep, you know how like the Americans love, uh, posting that meme where
they're like, feed me the three gorgeous dam?
It's ironic because that's what we've been doing.
We've been feeding the Iranians our straddle tankers.
Like over and over again.
We're just, we're just keep, we just keep feeding the Iranian beast.
MQ-9 Reaper drones and more strato tankers. It's fucking insane and
The the problem with this strategy, I mean, there's many problems with the strategy
But the but the really interesting
Predictively here is that there is not even any procurement for new additional
32 million dollar Reaper drones. So when they're gone, they're just fucking gone
The new Wall Street Journal reporting seems to confirm that the sirens at
Alsalti, which we called out here, aren't even sounding for long enough for all
the soldiers to resave areas. The early warning capabilities are almost non-
existing. In fact, the sirens are not even audible in the video of the third
strike. So yeah, that speculation that I brought up, well it turns out Wall Street
journal also noticed it as well.
Not exactly a great situation to be in, I think.
wind cope my favorite variation of the stop messing around it's time to win
knee jerk reaction is this one where the author doesn't seem to understand that
we've already broken every conceivable norm yeah oh yeah this is a classic
nuke these maniacs and get it over with why tit for tat and lose brave service
men why are we playing by some kind of rules all is fair and love and war deal
with the consequences afterwards yeah they've been doing that man we've been
doing that? Oh just fucking nuke them big dog okay sure. It's so fucking strange.
Don't attack Iran, just nuke it.
Yeah, Americana says, my favorite variation of the stop messing around is time to win
knee jerk reaction is this one where the author doesn't seem to understand that we've already
broken every conceivable norm and diplomacy assassinated their head estate, killed negotiators
during active negotiations, intentionally targeted civilian infrastructure, blown up schools
full of children and publicly declared our intention to commit genocide. This is what
no rules warfare looks like. But this right here is a recognition that that no rules warfare
is failing. Okay. That's what that is. This is a guy who is watching the American side
lose, and is frustrated by that loss, and no one wants to breach the nuke barrier.
By the way, the other side of this story that is even crazier that many of these people aren't
even fucking paying attention to is that there is no guarantee that a fucking nuke is going to
to stop the mosaic defense systems. That is the extra scary side of the story that most
people are not paying attention to. Why the fuck would Iran stop with a nuke? First of
all, a nuke can't reach the actual, a nuke can't penetrate the, with the bunker buster
bombs, the areas that you are trying to blow up, that's number one.
So if your option is to nuke population dense areas, because nuking a mouse is not going
to do shit, you're not going to waste blowing the no nukes ever treaty, the unspoken treaty
that people just don't want to penetrate, because then all of a sudden other nuclear
armed nations could use them against non-nuclear proxies. Russia with Ukraine, for example,
China with whoever they see fit, for example, not to say that they would do this, but my
point is that's a calculation that America is making all the time. Okay? So they're
not going to penetrate the nuclear boundary. But even if they were to penetrate the nuclear
boundary because they're fucking crazy like let's say Israel is the one country that's insane enough
to penetrate the nuclear boundary which would be a major major breach okay
if Israel were to let's say penetrate the nuclear boundary there is no guarantee
there is no guarantee whatsoever that this would stop Iran
You can't reach the the missile silos that are deep underground that are hidden inside of the mountains
Okay, America tried that already
and
The only thing you can deploy a nuke on is a a you know civilian area
If you deploy to nuke in like Tehran or Isfahan or any of these other like civilian areas
Not only is it over for whoever did that
that. Okay? The rest of the world would pounce immediately. That's number one. But number
two, perhaps even crazier than that, is that there is no guarantee that Iran would stop.
So what do you do then? So these people keep posting like, oh, just fucking nuke Iran, dude.
going to be fine. There is no guarantee that this would stop Iran. They have a decentralized
defense system that was initiated after the decapitation strike that took place on the
first day of Operation Epstein Fury. What guarantees do you have that that Mosaic system would
then stop and go, oh my god, my family members died in Isfahan. Now I'm going to stop blowing
up every fucking target I possibly can. If anything, it would probably cause complete
collapse of the global energy markets because they would just light every refinery on fire.
At that point, it's no holds barred. They would deliver the equivalent, the nuke equivalent
to every oil and gas refinery in the region, all critical infrastructure necessary for energy
production would be evaporated.
So what are we talking about?
So this is the reason why I think the, why don't they just fucking nuke Iran argument
is so stupid.
The only way that I see that happening is not with America nukeing Iran, but with Israel
deploying the Samson option because they feel too threatened that Iranian missiles are penetrating
the Israeli defenses and they've started killing at a point, if the Iranians will start killing
like too many Israeli civilians, that's the only time that I can see a country deploying
nukes against Iran.
The entire purpose of nukes is that they are defensive.
The entire purpose of having a nuclear arsenal is to ensure that you never use it.
Nukes are not developed in a world where other countries have nukes, it is not just the United
States of America having nukes.
Nuclear arms are a way to defend your nationhood, your statehood, okay?
Because the way that nukes work is, America has the nuclear sponge states, right?
Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the like.
That's where all the nuclear silos are.
Why are they over there?
Why are they not in Washington, DC?
Why are they not in Los Angeles?
They're there because once the first nuke is launched, then Russia, with its much larger
your nuclear arsenal will immediately work to destroy the American nuclear arsenal.
It's mutual assured destruction.
Now this is why there was nuclear proliferation.
This is why there was a race to develop your nuclear arsenal, but it's a deterrent.
It's supposed to be a deterrent.
It launches a chain reaction of two nuclear armed countries ever wage war with one another,
and they deploy nukes against one another.
It's tit for tat from that point on.
There's also obviously the nuclear submarines, which were developed after, because once everyone
uh, understood where the nuclear silos were, right?
The stationary nuclear silos is one thing.
Then America and, uh, the USSR tried to develop new ways of, of delivering nukes.
Then there's also the anti-defense systems, right?
Cause anti-defense systems also play a big role in this.
anti-defense systems are a way to stop nuclear arms from being delivered because nukes, a lot of people don't realize
Nuclear weapons aren't delivered with it with a different mechanism
I mean, it's a little bit different than than regular ballistic munitions
But when Iran is deploying or Reshnick's for example, they're hypersonics which were
designed and developed in a way to
to overcome the existing defense systems,
the anti-air defense systems
that the United States of America created, okay?
Iran developed the Ereshniks, the hypersonic missiles,
with higher degree of maneuverability,
with multiple re-entry vehicle systems,
which deploy and then open up right before their hit.
Ereshniks are Russian, sorry,
I was talking about the USSR initially,
But, Russianics are Russian. It's a more modern technology.
But, the point I'm saying, the point I'm making remains,
which is that those multiple reentry vehicles
could have nuclear arms in them, okay?
Instead of the regular ballistics that they have,
they could put nuclear sub munitions inside
of those multiple reentry vehicles
that can open up right before they're intercepted.
And some of them even have maneuverability beyond that, okay?
Ballistic munitions are just the carrier of nuclear arms or the regular explosive ordnance
that they have.
This is part of the reason why, when Russia deploys, this is part of the reason why when
Russia deploys those Oreshniks, that's not simply to blow up a oil refinery or blow
up an oil depot in Western Ukraine.
It's actually a threat to the rest of Europe.
To show the rest of Europe that they could blow up Europe, too, if they chose to do so.
Okay?
a way to increase their threats against Europe, against all of the other allied nations that
that are aiding and abetting the Ukrainian defense.
Yeah, Ripple Brain wrote about this, the debasification, the Iranian air war strategy.
And it's a decent summary of it. I read it earlier. But basically he says the key to
American air campaign has always been to degrade Iranian air defense to the point that cheap
and plentiful glide or even gravity bombs can be used against targets in Iran, as I've
also explained, right? We have a shit ton of gravity munitions guided, unguided, but
We can't deploy them unless we destroy their anti-air capabilities, okay?
Because it's far more costly to lose a fighter jet with a pilot in it.
It's a far bigger wound for American air superiority.
But that's the cheap stuff.
So the normal air military doctrine is, for the American side, the air military doctrine
is to conduct suppression, destruction of enemy air defenses in their operations, which
require long loiter times with aircraft remaining in the air to respond to ISR and emissions
from air defense radars.
So the way to do this is with the MQ-9 Reaper drone.
That's the most, like, that's like the cheapest, most cost-effective way to do it, which is
still $32 million a pop. So what these drones do, as I've explained to you over and over again,
is they loiter on Iranian airspace and wait for heat patterns, okay? They wait and wait
and wait until there is a strike, okay, an Iranian strike. And then they try to blow
up the Iranian launchers, usually, or to give back feedback coordinates to where the launchers
are to our standoff munitions that are being lobbed from the Gulf countries, that are being
lobbed from the American naval assets that are hundreds of miles away, away from Iranian
retaliation from a safe distance. Okay? These missions are exceptionally dependent on tanker
support, so any degradation of US tanker operations, in turn, degrades American S-slash-dead capabilities,
the destruction of enemy air defenses operations. This is why there are a
fuck ton of strato-tankers that are being deployed in the region, because those MQ-9
Reaper drones have to get refueled. All of these loitering aerial units, they have to go back
every now and then, after they've been deployed, and get refueled by a strato-tanker.
The problem is, those strato-tankers need to come closer.
And when they come close enough to Iranian anti-air defense capabilities or Iran's own drone striking capabilities, they get blown up.
There's also, given how long the missions are, you sometimes run into additional problems where shadow tankers like refueler jets can actually hit one another.
They've lost a lot of refueler jets in the process.
The American side has lost a lot of Stratotankers in the process.
Reapers can't refuel in the air, by the way.
It's pronounced seed deed no S slash dead.
Okay, I'm not the biggest military pervert.
I apologize if I get certain things wrong.
The refuelers are for the fighter jets, no?
It's not MQ-9s, it would have been EA-18s.
No, it's been largely MQ-9s going down the last few weeks in the infrared air defense footage.
I'm a numbers guy, I'm not a military guy.
War Thunderheads can help me with this.
Okay.
By all available evidence, the Iranian Debasification Campaign appears to be working.
The U.S. force in the region is likely incapable of generating the same combat power in its
air operations against Iran as it could when the war started, and things are trending even
further in a negative direction.
Even worse, there's no clear solution on the horizon.
The most obvious lever for American planners to pull is to accept more casualties and losses
of personnel and airframes.
But this is an unprecedented step in the modern incarnation of the US military has never faced.
Not only does this have a significant cost, this is a significant financial penalty.
There's also obviously issues on the manufacturing side.
It takes a long time to make newer versions of these fucking strato tankers.
We obviously have a deep bench.
But ultimately, but ultimately we're just throwing MQ-9 Reaper drones and strato tankers
into the Iranian defenses and hoping that eventually there will be a better outcome.
All the while, the things that we are hitting inside of Iran are cheap.
Okay, they're unbelievably cheap. They're super easy to manufacture.
Like, if you, these TELs that the Iranians are using, right,
their transporter erector launchers, the TELs that they are using are basic vehicles,
commercially available, readily available vehicles that have, that have, you know,
a platform that they solder onto the back of the fucking vehicle. So even if you blow one of these
up, it's basically fucking single use. Which is part of the reason why they gave up on blowing up
these TELs anyway fairly early on. They weld it, sorry, not solder. They weld it, whatever, they bolted.
It's just like super efficient and super cheap, especially considering that Iran has a major
a major domestic manufacturing capability.
Here's my Tanks.
Yeah, Fareed Zakaria is now posting about how China has won the Iran war.
Did the US not expect the tanks to be within the drone strike range?
It's hard to believe that there was a US strat without protecting their tankers.
I think it's coming from a place of, is not coming from a place of like sound announcement
I think it's coming from a place of desperation. They have to do something.
Iran is like a fucking pit bull. I
don't think it's even hubris. I don't think it's arrogance. I think arrogance is what caused the initial strikes.
Okay, but I don't think at this point it's arrogance that's pushing them to to keep trying the same thing and expect different results.
Okay, I
I think at this point, they're just desperate for any kind of attrition.
So they're just throwing these unbelievably costly assets in the field of battle, in striking
distance of Iranian drones, Iranian loader munitions, Iranian anti-air defenses, hoping
to expect, hoping to generate a different result that they haven't seen thus far.
Of course, there's an alternative here. There's an alternative solution to this madness,
which requires the Americans to come back to the negotiations process. Here is the
conversation that took place between the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakshi, who said
war's end either through total victory or negotiations, which literally, by the way,
verbatim. What do I always say? I mean, it's a very common fucking statement, but in my
Hey, can and he heard me say that and he's quoting me
A war must be ended precisely at the point when you hold the upper hand on the battlefield ending a war is
Possible either through total military victory or through negotiations
The right time the negotiator's exactly when you have achieved reliable military strategic gains on the battlefield the politician must always
ask this fundamental question, will continuing the war increase the gains or only increase
the losses? Like for example, what happened in Germany
World War II, meaning that it is occupied or what happened to Saddam in the war and
other such cases, because we don't have that capability. If you have that capability, then
go and finish it. This is him, by the way, speaking to the hardliners. This is not for
Western ears. This is for the hardliners to hear, just so you understand, because we
We don't have that capability. If you have that capability, you can go and finish it.
We don't have that capability. We cannot go and overrun and occupy Israel and America.
We cannot gamble with people's lives in the fate of the entire country. Decisions must
be based on precise and comprehensive calculations. If you seek to end the war through negotiations
in a way that prevents it from recurring, you must act at a time when your strength
and upper hand have been firmly established. In this war, despite some losses, we emerged
as a decisive international actor and demonstrated the resilience of the system, accurately identifying
the moment to stop the war and begin negotiations is the most vital and consequential part of
crisis management for any official. In theory, one must always assess whether continuing
the war from the current point will produce stronger gains at the negotiating table or
merely impose heavier human and national costs. He also went, I mean, he also described that
Iran believed that the war was coming before the negotiations ended. Iraq, she said, the
Iranian political military officials were certain an attack was coming. Tehran, nevertheless,
entered three rounds of negotiations because there remained some chance of avoiding war.
And so no one could later claim Iran had refused diplomacy. The central dispute remained in
enrichment. Washington demanded zero enrichment in a later multi-year suspension.
Iran refused. Arakshi said, even at the cost of war, he said that by Friday after the final
round of talks in Geneva, he had concluded war with certain Oman's foreign minister,
Badr al-Busadi, traveled to Washington and warned Arakshi that the atmosphere there
had become completely oriented towards war. Even as he saw a meeting with J.D. Vance,
amid concerns that Steve Wittkopf and Jared Kushner had not accurately conveyed the negotiations,
Iran had preplanned its response if the leisure was killed the one of the biggest elves for the fucking moderates for the reformers and also for the ones who want to negotiate with the western world
on the iranian team
In my opinion in my humble opinion
Is their overreliance on the integrity of jade vans
I think these guys
Sincerely believe that JD Vance is an isolationist or is far more reasonable than then Steve
Wittkopf and Jared Kushner, okay?
They're just wrong.
They're objectively wrong and they don't fucking understand that they're wrong about this.
And that's part of the reason why they're going to keep fucking getting into the situation
where they're like, oh, it would bring JD Vance here, please.
Let's talk to JD Vance.
JD Vance has the ear of the president.
They don't realize that the president fucking hates JD vans.
Like look, they're, they're great at diplomacy.
They're great diplomats.
They're great chess players.
Okay.
I'm not disrespecting the, the, uh, the, the Iranian team here.
It's very clear that they fucking defeated the United States of America.
The most powerful country on the planet has been brought to heel in this process by a
nation that is by an agent as far, far smaller, right?
But I think this is a major mistake.
Mersheimer also has this weird belief.
I think it's fucking unfounded.
They're not capable of reading the internal diplomacy that's taking place in the American
and the White House within the highest office between Donald Trump and JD Vance.
I don't think JD Vance is in any way, shape, or form, sincerely invested in stopping this
war.
I think he's just positioning himself as an anti-war guy so that he has a better chance
of winning once Trump is out of office, that's it.
Iran had pre-planned its response if the leadership was killed.
The Rocks says Supreme National Security Council have prepared written plans for scenarios
ranging from U.S. only attacks to joint U.S. Israeli strikes attacks on infrastructure.
Last scenario was reportedly assigned to code because officials did not want to say it outlawed
code 110.
Orochi said the plan included immediately closing the Shredda Hormuz if the leader was
targeted and activating a broader regional military response.
Orochi said he survived the opening attack himself.
He was inside of a leadership compound warning a senior official that an attack was imminent
when multiple buildings were struck.
He described through explosions, ceilings, walls collapsing, wounded people screaming
in himself, and Mohammed Hajazi climbing through the steel beams and rubble to escape.
A stranger eventually drove the dust-covered foreign minister back to the ministry.
Arakshi said simultaneous attacks targeted meetings involving military commanders, intelligence
officials, and senior leadership, exposing a major security breach.
He suggested that the breach makes then beyond espionage to attempt the � what are you
doing?� It�s so funny.
Jesus cracks open the door and stares outside.
Tehran immediately warned of the Gulf that the U.S. bases would be hit within hours or
hours.
Orochi said he personally called Gulf Foreign Ministers and told them Iran would strike
American forces stationed in that territory. This is before the MOU, by the way. This is
like how the opening salvo worked. Anyway, months after that story took place, now Fareed
Zakaria has a different calculation. Let's take a look.
As the war with Iran blows up and cools down from week to week, one trend is clear. The
The biggest beneficiary of this conflict is China.
Beijing did not have to fire a shot, spend vast sums, or use up political capital, but
it has gained more from this crisis than any other in three decades.
The war accelerated three of China's long-held goals, a Middle East less dependent on America,
a world-
Xavier, Zacharia!
More dependent on critical Chinese technology and a reputation for Beijing as a serious
and steady world power.
Beijing has not tried to replace Washington as the Middle East's military guarantor.
That would require expensive commitments.
Its aim has been simpler and more subtle.
Get Gulf States to detach somewhat from the American orbit.
And Donald Trump is doing much of that work for Xi Jinping.
America's Gulf allies have watched as Washington waged this war in chaotic fashion and with
little regard for the damage inflicted on their cities, infrastructure, and economies.
The Gulf is now dividing into two camps.
The United Arab Emirates is drawing closer to Israel and Washington.
But a larger group led by Saudi Arabia and including Qatar, Oman, and perhaps Iraq and
even Turkey, is likely to seek long-term security through a balance, continued ties with the
United States, but also dialogue with Iran and better relations with China.
That is precisely the regional order Beijing has favored.
In 2023, China brokered the restoration of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia
and Iran.
Riyadh has since resisted joining certain American-led joint data center and computer
It has bought Chinese missiles and drones, held exercises with the Chinese Navy, and explored local production of wing-loom combat drones.
Gulf countries accounted for more than 80% of Chinese defense exports to the Middle East from 2016 through 2025.
No one is trying to replace America's security umbrella, but they want options, and options reduce American leverage.
China's more impressive victory is geo-economic.
At first glance, a country that imports about 70% of its oil should be among the war's
biggest losers.
Yet China has weathered the shock better than most countries because it spent years preparing.
It diversified suppliers, built what is estimated to be the world's largest oil stockpile,
continued using coal and expanded nuclear power, and electrified its economy on a scale
no other major country has matched.
Electricity now accounts for about 30% of Chinese energy consumption, almost 40% more
than in the United States or Europe.
China installed more than half of all new global wind and solar capacity in 2024.
For these reasons, China was able to cut back on its imported oil purchases during the war
by some 4 million barrels a day.
The war has become a giant advertisement for China's critical technologies.
Governments everywhere are looking to build up their solar power, batteries, wind turbines,
electric vehicles, and grids.
China controls about 91% of global solar panel manufacturing capacity and 89% of lithium
ion battery capacity.
Chinese firms manufacture at least 70% of almost all clean energy technologies tracked
by Bloomberg.
The longer energy insecurity persists,
the more the world will buy into industries China dominates.
The war also advances a key Chinese goal,
weakening the dollar's hold over global commerce.
Iran reportedly allowed some tankers
through the straighter formers on the condition
that transactions be settled in Chinese Remin B
or in cryptocurrency.
China and its partners have effectively expanded
Remini dominated trade to reduce exposure to American sanctions.
The shifts would be gradual, but the trend is now unmistakable, away from dollar dominance.
Finally, there's the reputational windfall.
The Trump administration entered this war with grand goals, regime change, destruction
of Iran's nuclear program, eradicating its ballistic missile capabilities, and its support
for regional proxies.
It has achieved none durably.
Instead it is now hoping simply to open the Strait of Hormuz, which was opened before
the war began.
There is literally nothing redeemable about the American Century of Humiliation.
There's no rhyme or reason for why we behave the way that we do.
There's no strategic tactical goals that we're achieving in the process.
It's just like, I don't know how to fucking, I don't know how to explain it.
It's just so senseless.
It's just so unbelievably stupid.
That's why we call Donald J Trump, JD Pondom, baby.
That's why the Chinese netizens call him Donald Trump, the great nation builder for
China.
tens of billions of dollars, wasted America's munitions, diverted military assets from Asia,
unsettled allies, and demonstrated that even with America's enormous power,
a misguided strategy and constantly changing tactics would produce bad results.
China did remarkably little. It kept buying Iranian oil, maintained relations with the Gulf States,
avoided the costs of defending Iran or policing the Gulf, this is Beijing's preferred approach.
No dramatic confrontations, but rather the steady accumulation of influence.
Over the last 25 years, the United States has exhausted itself in three major military adventures
in the Greater Middle East, while China has accumulated manufacturing power, technological
capacity. Dude, for the last decade or so, I have verbatim said this and everyone told
me to shut the fuck up that I'm a campus that I'm a tanky like literally I had a very simple
premise and many people on the left also had this very simple premise. What if instead
of constantly waging war at the best of petrocapitalist pedophiles, we instead did what China does
and just focus on building out a domestic manufacturing, a robust base for manufacturing
here in the United States of America, focus on developing the country, focus on fixing
our infrastructure.
What if we spent the $7-8 trillion that we spent on murdering brown people overseas instead
here on the home front, okay?
And every single time, from right-wingers who told me to get the fuck out of this country
to liberals who also said the same, the answer was always, wow, you're a fucking campus,
wow, you're a fucking tanky, wow, why don't you dick-ride China further?
10 years after the fact, now you got Freedbuckaria or Xavier Zacharia on CNN, Clinton News Network,
saying the same shit. Will people finally understand that there is a better world out
there? There's a better future. Should we retreat from our endless ceaseless militarism
overseas and focus on building the home front?
Probably not.
Probably not.
There are far too many profits to be made for the military
industrial complex here, so we're just going to keep doing
business as usual.
And diplomatic relationships.
Washington acts Beijing waits.
China has paid costs for this war.
Higher energy prices, disrupted supply chains, and weaker
global demand. But power is always relative. Measured against the damage to America's
goals, alliances and credibility, China has come out ahead.
More than a year ago, China decided to remind the world just how easily it can choke the
global economy. Last April, in response to U.S. tariffs, Beijing
Oh my God. By the way, fucking, they had the architect of the liberation day tariffs guy
on the New York Times morning and it made me rip my fucking hair out. One,
because he sounds exactly like JD Vance. There's a, there's a liberal, uh, Groyper speech pattern
now. Okay. Guy who's like read too many books and is like really fucking nerdy, but also is trying
to advance Trump's agenda. And he sounded exactly like JD Vance. That's number one. Number two,
They asked them straight up. They were like, okay, don't you feel like this is having an inflationary
effect? He's like, no, of course not. Okay, of course not. That's not what's going on. And then,
and then they were like, well, don't you feel like, sure, there's some benefits to domestic
manufacturing. It's made domestic manufacturing more competitive for certain industries. But like,
they kept asking over and over again, like, well, don't you think about the consequences to allies?
that we're just trying to rip apart these these previous relationships that we
have with other allies that we're just terrifying endlessly no we're just here
to you know Trump understands the importance the significance like the
the moment he understands the the need in this moment like he just walked past
their fucking questions over and over again it was so goddamn frustrating not
as frustrating as not receiving a level 10 hype train which is incoming right
now of course as always piker broadcasting services sponsored by you the people for you
the people there's a hype train that is imminent right now and as of as is always the case
once we receive level 10 on the motherfucking hype train once we get to level 10 on the
hype train you already know what's up we will carry the motherfucking flame as always as we
we do every damn day on topic Trump announces 50% tariffs? What?
On many Canadian goods? Wait, what is happening?
What is going on brother? What the fuck? Why? Why?
what is happening? Oh my God. Oh my God. It's so stupid. Another one of the questions
that was asked of the Trump tariff guy was, well, what is the sufficient, like, what's
the real legal reason for, you know, the Supreme Court obviously found them to be wrong and
outside of the bounds of the executive. But like, what do you say to the question that
like, he implemented tariffs on Brazil for the Brazilian government prosecuting Bolsonaro?
And he was just like, no, it's just because there's a real economic need. Really? There's
a real economic need to tear of Brazil? News to me. Where's the fucking surplus? What's
the real economic need to tear of Brazil? Why are we, if we're fixing the trade deficit,
why are we, why are we tearing the country to the surplus? What is the reason? It's
So stupid and it turns out according to the BBC Trump threatens new candidates over fire sending filthy air to us cities
Why
Brother
I don't know what to say to this, man, it's just like, I always, I always try to find
rhyme or reason for, for the administration.
The administration is not one guy.
There's no, like, there's no single decision making capability or is not supposed to be.
not supposed to be this way. This is money molestation. It doesn't make sense. It's the
one thing that you're not supposed to do. You're not allowed to molest the bag. You're
not allowed to molest the money. It doesn't make any fucking sense.
Make the breaking news here. 50% tariffs on Canada because of what the president says
its reckless mismanagement of now 955 wildfires.
Well, he's right.
I mean, there is recklessness.
Dude, what are you saying, dude?
What are you saying?
He's right?
Really?
He's right.
Is there anything this man won't molest?
Incredible stuff man. Yeah, yeah. Be on the lookout in the upcoming days for
Donald Trump to come out and do the classic spiel. Canada is not raking the
forests. Okay, they got a lot of shrubberade. They got too much shrubberade, too
much dead trees on the ground of the forest and they're not raking it. They're not doing
sufficient rate he already did.
I mean, what?
You're in the Fox business woman.
The Fox business house is like really
Really, I mean she doesn't believe him. He doesn't believe himself
I told him I mean you got to stop these fires from
Coming in and poisoning our air our air has been poisoned. I have a good relationship with Mark Carney, but
You know, we've got to stop the fires up there.
If we can help them, we'll help them.
But maybe they should pay us some damages or something,
or we should do some tariff.
But it was terrible.
I mean, you had businesses closing.
In particular, Michigan, if you look at Detroit,
the Detroit, Michigan had had closed everything.
They had closed car plants and a lot of other things.
So I've never remembered this happening.
Over the last four or five years,
you saw it starting to take place.
I've never, never, never, never.
Yes.
Great, I guess.
Well, he's right. I mean, there is reckless mismanagement.
It's not only in Canada, but California does the same thing.
Understand this is the ultra left again,
who puts out these policies.
They don't want Americans to have air conditioning,
conditioning to have, you know, what, what the fuck are you saying?
What the fuck is coming out of your stupid fucking mouth, man?
What the hell?
The ultra-left wants wildfires.
They don't want us to have air conditioning.
How is that in any way, shape, or form?
If anything, you can make the opposite argument.
We want air conditioning so much that a carbon footprint has destroyed the fucking planet
and therefore has, has created this like inconsistent hydration pattern in the
forest. The forests are more likely to catch on fire now more than anything
else. Our endless appetite for profiteering has
made it so that we don't have enough money in the bank for, for forest
management. And of course this is how the dry ass
forest catch on fire. There's far more fuel than ever
before because the climate changes made the weather conditions so unstable that first it
rains too much and it's overfeeding the forests and then it's far too dry. So now you have more
fuel than ever before. And they catch on fire and then it's far too difficult to put out.
Cars and a lot of the things that we have and the energy that we use, we've done more damage in a
short period of time from Canada than any of that would ever do. It's horrible. It's bad for people
in their health. It's bad for the tourism industry and all industries and all businesses.
Certainly Canada's got to straighten this out. It didn't have to be that way. It reminds
me of the wind turbines that were supposed to be pro-environmental.
Bro used a clear-cut example of anthropogenic climate change devastating outcomes to present
argument against renewable energies that would actually soften the anthropogenic climate change
and and reverse some of our carbon footprint. I am losing my mind. We are led by fucking baboons.
We are led by morons. We're so fucked, dude. We are so endlessly fucked.
Look, Americans look at every problem and immediately demand more of the inciting incident.
We look at gun violence and we say, what's the solution?
More guns, please.
Give the fucking, my only solution to the combating school shootings is to arm the teachers.
Fuck it.
Arm the students.
They've got nine kindergartners, uh, uh, a handgun, maybe a hand grenade.
This is, this is insane.
You know how we make sure the climate change, sorry, I apologize.
I got real Chinese for a moment.
Excuse me for bringing up fake Chinese inventions like climate change.
You know what our solution to these wildfires is?
More carbon footprint.
Fuck the wind turbines.
That makes us gay.
We, we've gotten too homified.
That's the reason why these forests are catching on fire.
God's punishing us.
I think it'll unhurt the environment.
It reminds me of their energy program, which was supposed to be pro environmental and save
money, which costs a fortune and would have created and does create more problems than
ever.
It doesn't work.
Socialism doesn't work.
The Democratic Party doesn't work.
And certainly Canada isn't working because there's so far left.
should put as a warning shot that like there is at some point it's like super basic we look at
China's rise as a global power and then we look at America's decline on the one hand and Europe's
decline as well. There's like very clearly one simple answer. It's not even like an ideological
commitment to socialism versus capitalism. I'm not even making that argument, but there is one
thing that China does that we don't do and I think that's born out of obviously capitalism
and the endless need for profit seeking, okay? And that is, when there's a problem,
the government looks at that problem and says, we are going to solve this problem.
That's it. China, due to rapid industrialization, had a fuck ton of issues with air quality,
okay? A decade ago, they had tremendous smog. They had cities that were rendered uninhabitable,
Right? This was a huge issue. So China did what? They looked at it and they were like, okay, we got to move away from this shit.
We got to move away from this.
Uh, although it's obviously beneficial for us to keep using coal, fire, uh, coal powered power plants.
Okay.
It's, it's uh, you know, instead of choosing maximum efficiency, they move in the direction of renewable energy.
Obviously, there was a lot of corruption within the Chinese system as well. Xi Jinping's biggest
thing was he is the great eradicator of corruption. Once the capital owning class was also brought
into the fold within the party system, that led to some issues, some significant problems,
specifically corruption. But ultimately it doesn't matter like here's the here's the reality.
I'm Chinese and I got to be honest with you the government told us to do a lot of things that
made our lives much harder to combat air quality issues. I can't imagine the US government can
implement a quarter of what the Chinese government implemented.
I mean, there is obviously a much higher degree of autonomy in the Western world, too, there's
a cultural difference, whatever.
But my point is, they identified a problem and they solved it.
America, when is the last time you saw the United States of America identify a problem
and solve it?
I think it was the ozone layer, that's it.
That is the last time that is the last fucking time.
The last time I saw the western liberal world look at a fucking problem, recognize the existential
crisis it was creating and try to solve it.
Yeah, CFC gases of the ozone that would have created a massive hole in the ozone layer.
That was it.
I'm not even saying COVID chat because COVID doesn't, did we, did we deal with COVID?
We tanked it here in America.
We tanked COVID.
varying degrees the western world decided eh some boomers are going to f*****g die.
US Department of Energy posting during a recent summer heatwave across the mid-atlantic
coal natural gas and nuclear power kept the lights and air conditioners on the most valuable
energy sources show up when you need them the most.
Wind and solar, 6%.
You better come to America, say we're sorry, we're going to commend our ways, we're going to do what we used to do in the old day and groom and maintain the ground level of what is underneath the forest and thin the forest out where it needs to be done.
It was always done, we never had these problems before.
I mean
It's all the anger of hoax of magazine and Canadian force should be raked. This is the Canada's boreal forest
It is dense uneven rocky and filled with lakes and islands 910 million acres
Of it has no road access in case you were wondering how preposterous rake it is
This is a CEO talking
skimmed this pose, waiting for the space laser to appear and was not disappointed.
Why did Poe suddenly pivot from unconditional surrender to a deal at any cost with Iran?
It's the interceptor, stupid.
What?
Founder CEO of Boom Supersonic?
Surf's Canadian, by the way, yeah, I know.
The link you send me is broken.
Trump is literally McCarthy, but president.
Anyway, let's get back to China winning, according to Fareed, Zuckaria, briefly tightened
exports of rare earth metals, which make up the tiny magnets inside everything from
phones to cars to fighter jets. Edward Fishman of the Council on Foreign Relations labeled
the move the most effective use of economic warfare we have seen in recent years. And
the West has been scrambling ever since for a strategy to loosen China's grip. But it
is easier said than done as Japan learned the hard way.
Despite the name, rare earths are not actually rare.
They are 17 metallic elements scattered in the earth's crust on every continent.
What is rare though is the capacity to refine them.
It is a filthy, expensive process that leaves behind toxic waste.
Decades ago, China made a long-term bet on an industry that many other countries were
happy to avoid.
As former Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping famously said, the Middle East has oil, China has
rare earths. Today this bet has paid off, Beijing now refines roughly 90% of the world's rare
earth supply. Japan discovered the danger of China's dominance long before anyone else.
Back in 2010, a Chinese fishing trawler rammed two Japanese coastguard vessels near the Japanese
control Senkaku Islands, which China claims. After the Japanese authorities arrested the Chinese
Japanese captain Beijing retaliated by freezing rare earth shipments to Japan.
At the time, Japan relied on China for about 90 percent of its rare earth imports.
Even Tokyo's own officials were quite flat-footed.
Tatsuya Terazawa, then in charge of economic policy at Japan's trade ministry, recently
admitted to the New York Times that at the time he had zero knowledge about rare earths.
But by the next month, Japan had pivoted to an urgent and comprehensive strategy focused
on reducing demand, building stockpiles, recycling material, and was crucially investing in mines
abroad to secure its own supply.
The country's crowning achievement was backing a struggling Australian mining company called
Linus, which digs up ore in the outback and refines it 5,000 miles away in Malaysia.
Only 16 years on, Japan's approach has led to steady but slow results.
It has cut its overall rare earth consumption in half, but it still relies on China for
between 60 and 70 percent of its rare earth usage, while down from 90 percent that is
still a very high level of dependence.
But it meant that when China restricted exports again this year, after a diplomatic spat
over Taiwan, Japan was much better prepared. It released stockpiles and it could use its
supplies from Linus, the miner it rescued 15 years earlier, which has now become the
biggest rare earth producer outside of China.
So what can the West learn from Japan? The first lesson is patience. President Trump
has declared it would take about a year for the U.S. to secure enough rare earth supplies.
That statement is totally divorced from reality.
Gracelyn Baskaran and Meredith Schwartz of the Center for Strategic and International
Studies write,
�The Japan has put itself on permanent alert for more than a decade and pushed its new
agenda forward aggressively.
The West needs the same sustained attention,� they argue, �instead of momentary ramp-ups
during crises which then collapse once there is calm.�
The second lesson is about friends.
Remember the contingencies? This is why I laughed in the face of that chatter.
When he was talking about American munitions once they're depleted, it's going to be very, very difficult to do procurement.
Especially if China decides to tighten its export controls.
Where is that chatter, by the way?
There was a point in time where he would come in daily and be like, no, no, no, you don't
understand, America's going to win eventually.
every day he would come in here to be like no gang we got contingency I wonder what he's
up to probably sitting in a fucking base probably sitting at L.U. data airbase right now deployed
I hope he doesn't become the contingency.
Trace, still here.
Ben needed Australia's mines, Malaysia's refineries,
France's recycling plants, and American capital and technology
to reduce its reliance on Beijing.
No country alone can break China's
near monopoly on rare earths.
The Trump administration, to its credit, appears to understand this.
It has gathered 55 countries and signed agreements on nearly every continent regarding critical
materials and rare earths.
But that cooperation is a...
America's financial dominance has also come into a close with the payment processor system
that China has implemented in the One Belt One Road Initiative, which is creating a real-time
alternative that UAE and many other countries are getting on top of.
So,
what China can't do with its export controls, the nuclear option for trade,
America cannot do with SWIFT.
And in America did do it with Swift against Russia.
Wait, I banned them?
I banned the guy, Trace, still here?
We got to unban his bitch ass.
Yeah, the Chinese payment processor also does it in a matter of six seconds as opposed
to days in the SWIFT system.
Yeah, contrary to its name, it is not very swift.
Trays banned in a lot of channels, I watch, he's obnoxious.
I wonder if I banned them or one of the mods did.
Oh, Lake Magroove did it.
Why?
He had reliable insight.
I'm banning please.
I would like to hear from Gangie about where he's at.
Why you eat dinner so early?
Maybe I eat lunch so late.
have you thought about that?
surf said that here, saw the groveling and agreeing to his terms of destroying our social
safety at the bill of mass and military and hiring 1,000 RCMP officers for his border while
building pipelines while the country burns all did nothing and things are now worse than
they've ever been.
Yeah, you cannot.
You have to fight back.
That's why Felix has made a brilliant point that I repeat all the time.
The most effective anti-Trump forces on this planet right now is the Communist Party of
China and the IRGC.
No one else has been able to combat Trumpism as effectively as these two forces, okay?
The Communist Party of China and the IRGC.
Why?
Because they fight back.
They don't concede.
tankers that are in the region, all as these tensions escalate with Iran.
Last night, Suncombe saying that it had carried out the ninth consecutive night of strikes
against that country.
You see both sides of this increasingly going after some very sensitive civilian infrastructure,
including water desalination plants.
The U.S. has been hitting roads and bridges in southern Iran.
But at the same time, I think what these deaths over the weekend really underscore is that
Iran has retained some fairly significant missile and drone capabilities, kind of puncturing
the president's claims of total military dominance.
What you also hear U.S. officials worry about is that these deaths could potentially show
that Iran is beginning how to learn how to evade U.S. air defenses in its bases across
the region.
So some real concerns about what an escalation could potentially portend for those U.S. troops
that are arrayed across the Middle East. At the same time, you hear diplomats say that
they are not close the door to returning to negotiations with Secretary of State Marco
Rubio. He's traveling in Angel Wolf. He told reporters overnight that the U.S. remains willing
to engage in negotiations, quote, if that door opens. And he said that Iran had communicated
both directly and indirectly that they were open to return.
Why doesn't Iran stop the bloodshed and sign peace with America?
All wars end with treaties as you said.
Brother, I don't know if you've been paying attention to what's going on, but America
violated the treaty and then openly admitted that they never had intent of following through
on the treaty and then started bombing Iran.
Again, first they pushed ships through the unsanctioned route, through the Omani corridor,
then Iran hit those ships, then America hit back at Iran, but then obviously ships stopped
transiting through the Omani route, but then America turned around and told them that it
It was fine to go through again, and then Iran shot them again.
And then America shot Iran again.
And now we're back.
And Trump is claiming the MOU is dead in the water.
What are they supposed to do?
I mean, what do you do?
What can one do here against us? We're irrational, we're erratic, we're belligerent, we're violent.
How do you deal with us? Get back to the drawing board and keep fighting, I guess.
Right?
Good morning to the bargaining table. The U.S. is planning to send additional F-16 fighter jets,
F-35 fighter jets along with more aerial refueling attackers to the Middle East as these tensions
clearly soar. This is pretty significant right now.
It is. And, you know, when you look at what we already have in the Gulf region, you've got,
of course, carrier strike groups that are in the Arabian Sea and near the Persian Gulf.
You've got the aircraft that already based in areas of the Middle East, including Jordan and
and Saudi Arabia, as well as the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
So those areas are going to get beefed up.
Basically, the airplanes that you mentioned,
the fighters, as well as the aerial refueling tankers,
are also probably going to be augmented by other aircraft,
such as reconnaissance aircraft and other drones,
potentially, as well.
And if all of that moves forward,
they'll be coming from Europe.
And that will basically set the stage
for even further military offensives
and basically a military campaign
against Iran, one that is even more extensive than what we've seen so far.
Joining us now is Ambassador Dennis Rossi, who was a special assistant to President Obama
on the Middle East peace process and as a counselor over at the Washington Institute.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Why are they flying in from Europe?
Why aren't they just doing aerial missions from the Al-Odeid air base?
Why aren't they just doing aerial missions from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and Qatar and
all these other countries?
I mean, these are vassals, right, which they are.
Is it because the vassals are saying, no, you can't do this?
Or perhaps is it another secret third option, which is they simply can't because Iraq keeps
fucking blowing up their goddamn bases for Near East policy. Dennis, thanks so much for joining us.
Do you expect there will be larger fallout from the deaths of these U.S. service members? Is this
war with Iran now going to dramatically escalate? I don't know that it's going to dramatically
escalate, although it's clear the U.S. is moving F-15s and F-35s to the region is also moving
additional area we're fueling tankers so that suggests we're probably going to.
So what's interesting about this decision is they must have some degree of confidence that they can
now actually evade their Iranian defense systems or something or they are unironically going to go
so fuck it mode and just start, because they're running out of their standoff munitions, they
have no other option, so they're just going to start feeding American planes to the IRGC
air defense systems.
I assume that there is some calculation being made here that they can withstand some losses.
But ultimately they've degraded the Iranian defenses far enough.
But if they're just going, they're going beast mode.
Mr. Beast mode, we brought, you know, $2 trillion worth of military equipment to the Iranian
airspace to blow it up.
I don't know.
I don't know where we go from there.
the scope and intensity of the attacks we're going to carry out. The Iranians, as you just
noted, have hit seven different states in the region. So there is a dynamic here that
seems to be an escalatory one, but it's also noteworthy that, A, the Iranians are not hitting
Israel, which suggests they know that Israel would hit back in a big way. B, the United
States is still not hitting certain kinds of targets, meaning we're not hitting power
Iran is not hitting Israel because Israel is not hitting Iran and at least given the limited amount of data coming out of Israel right now about Lebanon, they're not even advancing in Lebanon that much.
So, I suspect the reason why Iran is not hitting Israel is because Israel is not joining the conflict in a meaningful manner, and kind of actually abiding by the MOU a little bit.
Israel on the other hand is hitting Gaza, which is expected, because they're pieces of shit, who have to hit something, they have to keep killing children.
So they're killing children in Gaza as they did yesterday as they did last night
But Iran doesn't need to hit Israel Iran is hitting Jordan which is the first stage for hitting Israel
Israel understands this reality
This guy seemingly doesn't comprehend that
We're not going after energy facilities.
And I think the reason for that is we're seeing that the Iranians have the ability to hit
similar kinds of targets in the Gulf states.
I think when they hit Kuwait and they hit the desalination plant and electricity related
facility, an oil related facility, that was their way of signaling if you hit these kinds
of targets within Iran, we will hit those kinds of targets in Saudi Arabia, the UAE
and elsewhere, and the impact on oil prices will be traumatic.
So I think there is still a conflict that is being fought within certain bounds.
So it's how we're doing the stick at home.
I mean, we are doing we're doing the stick at home.
We're also doing this.
Israel comes to me in my dreams.
What gives, you know, so I guess it's both of those techniques.
The basic problem is there's no way out of the current impasse
because the Iranians are insisting they will control the streets.
And we're saying they will not.
The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, says the U.S. is still open to diplomacy with Iran.
Iranian officials say they were also open to it, but how does diplomacy even restart
at this point with this war escalating?
Well, it's not unusual to have force and diplomacy operate at the same time.
Oftentimes, each side is using force to try to affect the terms of a negotiation.
I think that's what we're seeing at this point.
I think both sides actually would like to find a way out.
Our re-imposition of the blockade has dramatically
damaged further an already desperate economy within Iran.
The IRGC, the Revolutionary Guard leadership,
may speak strongly and boldly about how that's not
going to affect them.
But the truth is, it does have an effect on them.
But the same is true here.
The president is clearly sensitive to the idea
of oil prices going dramatically higher.
Each side would like to find a way out,
but neither side wants to look like it's backing down.
It's in that context that you have mediators
like the Cutteries offering new proposals
that start with a 10 day ceasefire,
and then you come up with what might be some new mechanisms
that involve many of the states in the region
as part of the management of the straits.
Each side is gonna need some way out.
The one thing from an American standpoint
that I think is essential,
Iran cannot be in control of the straits of Hormuz
when all this ends.
Let's recall Wolf that on February 27th,
the streets were open.
Supposedly our...
Yeah.
Here's the problem for us, buddy.
They are.
They are.
What the fuck you mean?
What did Bernie say that you guys are saying?
Come on, Bernie, over.
We must not give one nickel more because he's saying that in the Yahoo government.
That's why right main objective was about preventing Iran from ever having a nuclear
weapon but our whole focus right now seems to be on reopening the streets which by the
the way we're open prior to the war.
How deep, Dennis, are the fractures within Iran's regime
right now?
We still haven't seen, as you know, the new Supreme Leader.
He was injured.
His father was killed in the opening days of the war.
Are we even sure who is in charge right now?
Brother, Wolfie, why don't you stop worrying about that?
You know what I mean?
Don't worry about it, sweetie pie.
What difference does it make for us?
You know what I mean?
But who's in charge?
Who cares?
Iran's in charge.
Historically, I would just note that we've always seen factions within the Iranian elite.
That's not new. But the Supreme Leader was always the arbiter and always the decision-maker.
Right now, we don't know what the real status of the Supreme Leader is. He hasn't been seen,
statements are issued, they're probably written by others. I think what we're seeing is a kind of
balance of power where maybe the Supreme Leader has some role, but there's probably a balance of
power where the dominant voice at this point is really reflecting the revolutionary guard.
But I do think the president, Pazeski and the head, the speaker of the parliament,
Dali Bough, I think they are part of the decision-making process. It still seems that the
revolutionary guard has greater sway. But again, there's a kind of balance of power at this point,
favoring one side a little bit more. The longer this goes on, the greater the pressures from within,
given what's happening to the economy. I still think we will see an interest on their part to
to find a way out. The problem is they think they can outlast President Trump. And that's
really I think why we're seeing the dynamic we are right now.
As you know, Israel says it will respond and respond militarily to any future attack from
Iran or its proxies for that matter. What does Israel want right now? How do you see
it?
Well, I think there's what the prime minister wants in terms of the politics of the situation.
And I think he would still like to be able to inflict much more damage on the Iranian
ballistic missile capability, its inventories and the like, but he's not in a position to
make decisions.
It's the President of the United States who's making decisions.
And then I think the President, at this point, doesn't seem to want the Israelis to be involved.
It's ironic that the Iranians don't seem to want the Israelis to be involved.
The only way the Israelis become involved is if the President changes his mind and or
the Iranians hit Israel at this point, they're avoiding that. So I still think even though
with Israel I think there's a strong sense that something could happen this week where
Israel is drawn in, my sense at this point is that basically neither the United States
nor the Iranians seem to want the Israelis involved because I still think there's a desire
at least on the part of the president to keep us more limited. I think we're going to see
him try to strike a balance where he's going to do much more this week in the hopes that
by hitting the Iranians even harder with the blockade, they will come around and look for
a way out.
I want Israeli boots on the ground, brother.
That's never happening.
Israel will not deploy boots on the ground unless it's in occupied territory and it's
primarily children.
This is not going to work.
Israelis would never, never ever deploy troops against a standing military, especially if
a country like Iran.
Look at how they behave in Lebanon.
Look at how they approach Lebanon.
They're getting their shit pushed in Lebanon.
And even then, they have unlimited air support.
Not going to happen.
Now, whether we can get to that point right now, given the kind of zero-sum quality of
each side wanting an outcome that the other can't really live with, that remains to be
seen but I still think we're seeing each side operate within certain limits and the mediators
may come up with something as things get looked, begin to look worse that allows each side to
take a step back. That I think is the hope for the moment.
Thousands of protesters are gathering in the Indian capital demanding the resignation of
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his education minister. Hundreds of police have been deployed
with the crowd expected to march towards Parliament.
For nearly a month, protesters, mainly students, have been demonstrating in New Delhi.
Follows back-to-back scandals related to examination, paper leaks and cancelled tests.
They're demanding sweeping education reforms.
The couple on that side of the world, mothers don't play around about the test, the integrity
of the test.
It's a real, a real important part of, of getting a leg up.
In Korea, in South Korea, they've put cheybals in prison for cheating on the examination.
I allow my kids to cheat on the exams.
Women are scared of us. They don't want to talk to us because they will have to answer our questions. They have no answers.
They're only interested in taxpayers' money. They're taking the public for a ride which is wrong and we will continue to speak out.
We want answers, accountability, some reciprocation from the government.
There should be negotiations even if there is no resignation of the government minister.
Nehapunia is in New Delhi following the latest developments.
Just a few streets away from that protest site in the heart of New Delhi, and the farm
here applies what's happening there. Since the early hours of Monday morning we've seen
a steady stream of protesters who've made a beeline to that site. We've seen in the
last few hours numbers well considerably. It's now almost impossible for cars to drive
drive on the roads leading up to Jantar Mantar because everyone who can see is making their way on foot to that protest site.
We've seen protests break out even inside metro stations with the government having sealed the exit points for some metro stations that are close to Jantar Mantar.
But that's not stop protesters. They've been getting off a few stations away and then walking all the while chanting slogans holding up the Indian flag.
We've heard reports of a stuff that broke out of the protest site a little while ago.
Gehli police, which has deployed personnel in huge numbers, along with riot police forces,
have said that this is misinformation that most stuff has broken out, that videos that
are circulating online tell a very different story of riot police forces using things to
push people back.
The Koflo Geneta party that's organizing this protest is called, is a huge show of strength.
They're estimating that 10,000 people gathered there with more people still coming in.
It certainly looks like a sea of humanity.
Drone shots have been captured off Delhi this morning, showing entire streets full of young
people who are marching, demanding accountability from the government.
Pushing past police barricades in the Indian capital.
These 10 scenes unfolded Monday with security personnel dispersing crowds and batten charging
protesters.
The march to India's parliament comes as the youth-led cockroach movement demands the
resignation of India's education minister after repeated leaks of medical school entrance
exams.
Accountability has to be taken by the education minister because in 2020 actually a paper
already happened and this time it was again repeated and he is not taking proper accountability.
I voted for this government, so I think it's accountable to answer our questions.
That's the basic human right that I deserve, and I think I'm liable for whatever is happening
because I voted for this government, and hence I'm here to ask for answers.
The demonstration in New Delhi received fresh impetus after a well-known social activist
linked to the cockroach movement was forcibly moved to hospital by police on Saturday.
Sonam one took had been on a hunger strike for 21 days and his condition had worsened.
For so many days Sonam had been protesting but the government did not meet our demands.
If they don't, we will see what happens.
Hitler's rule did not last this long.
Even the British could not rule forever.
The BJP government will also fall, it's not impossible.
The Kokrotjanta Party first gained traction online in response to a derogatory comment
on unemployed youth from India's Chief Justice.
On Monday, a spokesperson announced its leader was detained by police during the crackdown
on peaceful protesters.
The movement's ability to galvanize support out on the street is said to be a challenge
for the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose time in office, according to his critics,
has been marked by stifling dissent.
And then Heather from News 12.
Hi, Mr. Mayor.
Hi, Morgan.
How are you?
I'm good.
reading your interview over the weekend and wanted to get us on now. This requires global
attention. So we need asthma to cover this somehow. We do not need asthma mold to cover
India. Yeah, here, I'll do both. Okay. Um, I'll do I'll do the
asthma and mole coverage. Yeah. Yeah, based. Yeah. I mean, what
can you say chat? Yeah, it's like that. Yeah. They call them
Cockroach movement. Yeah, base.
I think first he'll support the Indian government and then there will be tremendous pushback from his chat.
And then he'll reposition to be like, no, I'm the cockroach movement.
Because his first inclination, I assume, is usually to be on the side of police brutality.
Once he learns Modi is anti-Muslim, it's over.
No, I think he knows that already.
They're in the midst.
What is this?
Exclusively several DSA-aligned politicians attended a stream where speakers compared
America denounces him and discusses protecting Iran's ability to fund Hezbollah.
Hamas and the Houthis, if Iran is off the table, Hezbollah can't be funded. Hamas can't
be funded and the Houthis can't be funded. America and its allies
were referred to as the Axis of Epstein in the 4th Reich.
Peace mode. Peace mode. Peace mode. Peace mode. Peace mode.
Dark woke commander baby, look at that canary mission.
The US government and the Israeli government, they're in the midst of creating the 4th Reich.
It is absolutely accurate to compare these people to Mussolini, to Adolf Hitler.
We're governed by dead-eyed psychopaths and sociopaths, and bloodthirsty, imperious-
What is this?
What is this video, my man?
Oh, it's so good.
The the fucking the zoom cuts to be like, see, and this is how they reacted.
With the scary music. Wow.
That's awesome.
Yeah, the whole thing, I think.
The whole method is they already revealed it.
They already revealed the meta.
It's like trying to pinpoint weak and feeble
and and vulnerable politicians.
And to get them to disavow.
So far, the most successful approach to this has just been like,
yeah, I'm not disavowing a random fucking podcaster.
OK.
It is straight up undefeated.
It is straight up undefeated. You just go, yeah, this is dumb. I don't care about this.
I don't agree with everything that this guy said. It doesn't matter. He has a big audience.
You know, all that good stuff.
It's OP.
eventually they might like they might ding one you know they might get one they they could potentially find a guy who's like oh I don't know
um maybe it's not great that he said this or whatever but
But yeah, far left podcast or radical leftist Kyle Kalinsky, who I disavow, who I famously
disavow.
In the Israeli government, they are the terrorists.
They are the terrorists.
They are doing terrorism.
If Iran's off the table as a regional power, that means Hezbollah can't be funded.
Hamas can't be funded.
of who these can't be funded, like the Shia Crescent Falls,
and then you have nothing but regional domination for Israel.
There's a reason why I call Israel and the US
the axis of Epstein, okay?
There's a reason why I've said repeatedly
that they're in the midst of creating the forthright,
because that sincerely is what they're doing.
These are genuinely repulsive, disgusting,
wretched, depraved human beings.
And it is absolutely accurate to compare these people
to the worst criminals in history,
to Mussolini to Adolf Hitler.
Since when do you use a razor chair?
Since Hermie broke.
Since my fat ass broke Hermie into a million different pieces.
I broke one of the, my fat ass ended up hurting Hermie.
the bolts. One of Hermes bolts broke straight up. The arm of my
I heard me broken with 60 bucks for a replacement bull.
Uh, yeah, that's what happened to me too.
Kyle's been trying to get, uh, this kind of coverage from canary
mission and all these other places.
So I'm kind of happy that he finally got his wish.
Be careful what you wish for.
You might receive it, you know, ask you more about anyway, here's
are on talking about fucking arresting Netanyahu, which I don't think he can. But you know,
it's good that he's threatening him. It's good that he's like saying we're looking at
legal avenues and stuff like that. I do appreciate that.
Sorry off topic, but Hassan, you mad at Odyssey because it's about Turkey's Ellen Troy. Yo,
It's true though, but thank you.
But thank you.
Thank you for recognizing.
Oh my God, I got a crazy own for Hayley.
Hayley Stevens, look at this.
I just retweeted it.
I just retweeted it.
Michigan's auto industry put America on wheels and I'm fighting to keep us in the driver's
seat.
That's a Buick invasion.
The only vehicle sold in the US that is fully made in China has been a slap in the face
of American auto workers for years, says Terry Dolan.
Retired UAW international boom.
Immediately fuck him.
Reposted it.
Got him.
Got him.
Phony.
Phony.
Got him phony phony
What gives
It goes to show you that all that fucking talk
All that talk about like, oh, I care so much about the automobile industry.
Oh, I did it.
I rolled on my sleeves and I did the automobile industry.
Yeah.
Perhaps there's a reason why the UAW did not endorse you and endorse Zoram
Mammadani or Zoram Mammadani.
I'll tell you what, I'll say that instead.
Sorry, we were just talking about Zoram.
Well, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Anyway, getting back to Zoran.
Speaking of Zoran, I got big zo on the mind.
Talked about the new Hamas leader. Yeah, Zoran Mamdani.
A son pucker vows never criticized Mao Zedong in research video hails him as great leader a
Research video showing farla tuition for a son pucker praising Mao Zedong circulated online Sunday dude in the video. I criticize him
What are we doing in the video? I literally go he's a great man in history. He was a great leader
He's responsible for modern-day China. I jokingly refer to say I would never criticize him and then I go. Yeah, there's a there's excesses
Yeah, Nathan Robinson, that is a misquotation.
In the clip, he says it would never make fun of Mao Zedong.
Not that he would never criticize him.
He criticizes Mao within the clip.
It's clear that GOP and his media allies want the midterms to be about you.
They're already spending millions in ads.
Yeah, but that's not gonna do anything.
Like, okay, you're gonna get a bunch of fucking grandmas to hate me.
You're gonna get a bunch of young people to probably like me.
But that's not going to impact campaign is a fucking dumb ass strategy.
Especially if they come here and they hear what I have to say and go, wait a minute.
I kind of agree with what the fuck he's saying.
I find it interesting that you're always joking in these situations.
You think that such a lighthearted and exuberant fellow would game every once in a while, but
here we are. That's true. They're literally all in bed close now. Yeah, I know. One of
the funniest parts, one of the funniest parts about this is like, there was a guy who literally
went even the Chinese government criticizes Mao Zedong and his like later years and it's
like, yeah, I know you fucking idiot. Maybe you didn't get to hear that exact quote in
the 36 seconds that you watched, but I actually literally immediately say that like probably
right after this clip is over. Why do you have a dedicated chat GPT accent? Are you talking
to me, I have a chat to be the accent, or you talk about my haters.
Here's a full clip full of odd 429 time stamp, like right, what, right in the
beginning?
No.
Give me four hours and 29 minutes.
in the UAE, Chinese continue to expose damage to Western military base throughout the Middle
East with the clear censorship regime in place.
Shana is making information available that otherwise we're-
Oh, Fox News did a segment?
It's a snowy day in Beijing's Tiananmen Square.
U.S. strikes Iran China has a message in the world message it wants the world to hear
we're here early and we're gonna take you for a rare glimpse into the secretive world of Chinese political power
I've reported from Beijing for nearly three and a half years now
And there is still something of a buzz every time we're allowed here because it is quite rare that journalists are allowed to film in
Tiananmen Square it's infamous and hey, I
Know somebody that did that shit though
They're not wrong. It is actually, come on, guys, TMS score is literally incredibly secure.
Please, be for real. I was there. You literally watched me go through the security checkpoints.
I lodged in the entire process. I got stopped by a cop who thought I was making fun of Mao
Mao Zedong, which I never would.
Oh, dude, it's literally me criticizing chatters or like, no, China, China has no security
theater and maybe like, no, dude, I was there.
Of course there's fucking security theater.
And then I jokingly say, I never would and never will Mao Zedong is a, is a, one of the
great leaders of, of this world.
Okay.
who changed the entire universe, the entire planet.
Okay.
But the reality of the matter is,
I was able to, for real, for real, yes.
I mean, there's a lot of fucking excesses, let's be real,
but the People's Republic of China would not exist
without Mao Zedong. And before people say, oh, well, what about Deng? What about Deng
Xiaoping? Okay, great. He advanced China as well. And so does Xi Jinping. Don't make
me retell the dumpling story. Okay. You eat four dumplings and I'm so fucking stupid.
I'm such a doll. I just say the same shit every day. It's so funny.
What is the dumpling story? Okay, here.
And you finally feel like you're full on the fifth one.
You don't think to yourself, oh, I should have just eaten the fifth dumpling.
It's not the fifth dumpling that filled your stomach.
The first four dumplings were also important brutal history means we're only given access on pretty special occasions and today is a special occasion of sorts it's an event
Rush out pussy got me acting strange someone asked me who controls the bank. I said the Cubans
Where's the commentary this guy's just to you I agree
I haven't heard the two economists go into the woods and take a shit in the woods joke in a while. I know.
Anyway, that's where the Mao Zedong thing is coming from.

Regulators on after views challenges praise for the former Chinese Congress by the chamber according to transcript published by box
There's a lot of fucking excesses. Let's be real.
Pegasite with the People's Republic of China would not exist without Mao Zedong, my phone
with the People's Republic of China.
It's a great honor to be here in the heart of the American Empire, the belly of the
beast.
Pegasite, I'm speaking to the future activists of the Democratic Party who is an outsider
currently pushing for an insurgency. He urged the attendees to reject Democrats who
compromise with Republicans and support funding for U.S. Immigration Customs, Enforcement and
Israel.
Mom's the main action founder, Shannon Watts, Chris Huthbuckers, appearance and clothing

I am the first, I am the first male victim of misogyny, like misogynistic attacks and
objectification.
Obviously there are plenty of male victims of misogyny.
All men are victimized by misogyny.
However, I'm the first one who has been the recipient like in the same way that that women receive it
I'm a fucking trendsetter
It's crazy the only the only people I see get this level of fucking feedback
This level of backlash this level of aggressive posturing no more. What are you wearing? What are you saying?
what are you doing is just women. That's it. Women on the internet who still
have it worse than me, who hold up half the sky as someone said, I forget who,
probably smart guy. Women hold up half the sky. I forget who said that but it
It seems like he was woke.
Pratequated your praise for Mao for praising Hitler right now and then, no he didn't.
He actually said it's worse to praise Mao than it is to praise Hitler.
To that I say it's time to evolve.
hold up 75% of the sky? How about that?
Drugshaht's suit is on trans business socialist torch. The American red young guards in the
heart of empire. The critique of arms cannot replace the critique by arms. To be honest,
I didn't expect him to speak so radically and bluntly today, but this is indeed the voice of
the common people. I think he also tailored speeches based on the venue more idealistic
at school, more down to earth at the rally. Regular viewers know this. Also, he left right
to have to finish it giving it a bit of a guerrilla vibe.
Looking at it this way, this custom made Chinese tunic suit is really not expensive at all.
Like a Cuban revolutionary leader, many Chinese say Hassanabi's kind of show is useless.
Everyone we have to look at it from the perspective of our national conditions.
In a high pressure environment like the US, being able to give a show in a Chinese tunic
is no less impactful than Lu Zhiyun's diary of a madman trying to play politics in America
without money or nothing.
Your ideas about cutting off the profits of this capitalist, so how could they ever fund
such a party?
in long-term indoctrination, and even with a gun, people only dare to kneel. So basically
hopeless. Oh my God, Chinese netizens have started, Chinese netizens have started a nihilistic
posting about America's attempts of reform.
Crying to Zeytia, I saw this. Man, it seems like he's saying he was a great man of history,
which is inarguable, unless you're dull. Zeyt, he's been cosplaying Mao. Yeah, Chiang Kai-shek
cosplaying Mount 1946. Dude, we are, as Americans, we are very confident in our stupidity. Like,
so much, so much of American politics is anchored around resentment.
He says supporting you is like the supporting the Nazis. Well, don't you believe that if that was
the case, he would be supporting me, especially considering that he openly supports Nazis.
So how does that make sense? Did that confuse his audience? Did his audience hear that and go,
wait a minute, so should we support him? Fassan Piker had dressed like a Nazi,
we'd have appropriate outrage. But because commies had infiltrated our institutions and lied about
about how evil they are.
Why every Chinese netizen be like fire writing on every seemingly casual comment. I think it's the Google translate
Wait, how's that be now killed these Chinese netizens grandparents? I thought why are they celebrating you wearing the Jones lawsuit?
Yeah, that's so that's what's so funny. It's a fucking billion point billion for
Chinese people out there and they just I guess Americans never
entertained the thought that like this guy is supposed to be this fucking ruthless monster that murdered all of his fucking grandparents deliberately by design
And and it's hilarious that that they're all just brainwashing the loving him and showing great reverence and respect to him
billion four okay you know what I mean billion point four
I've seen every one of your super online haters retweeting quote T is like is
there 2026 gospel their dumb as dirt at least the LeBon the spread of socialism
in the US will lead to the rise of fascism as a counter movement which is
exactly how it first rose none of us want to be stuck between these monstrous
extremes this can only be prevented by the Democratic Party taking the left back
from the fridge. Okay. I never understand why liberals do this thing, where they say this
thing, because it's like, this is an admission that the last time liberals tried to appease
the fascists, it failed. It's not 1934. It's 2026. This already happened. I don't understand
And why they just downloaded the same talking points, okay?
It genuinely confuses me that they're like, my takeaway is that liberals didn't liberalize
hard enough.
No, like they fought.
They fought their left flank.
They fought the communists.
That's what happened.
Liberals thought, oh, well, fascists are a little bit more manageable.
small in numbers, they don't have a real, they don't have a real movement. We can
contain them. We can appease them and we can contain them. They're not sincere.
And guess what? It was wrong. They literally at the time looked at
communism growing in Europe and were terrified by it because communism
actually threatened capital. Fascism didn't, right? Same with Mussolini. These guys were
first and foremost vicious anti-communists, okay? Mussolini literally was a socialist and
then became a vicious anti-communist, but that's besides the point. These guys were
anti-communist. And a lot of capital owners, many of the liberal variety, thought, oh,
we can just give them crumbs of power and contain them. Okay? We can just, no, I'm not
talking about Neville Chamberlain when I say appeasement, even though he did that too,
I'm specifically now talking about internal politics between Germany and also Italy.
Liberals, centrist at the time, were very worried about the growth of communist movements.
They were like, these guys are too radical. They're doing great damage to our industries.
States. Work stoppages were commonplace. Strikes were commonplace all around Europe.
As a matter of fact, the only time I've brought this up before, but the only time the liberal
powers, the social democrats and the Soviets, the USSR aligned in the battle to fight fascism,
Did we actually defeat the Nazis?
We didn't defeat fascism necessarily, unfortunately it's back, and now it's in control of a nuclear
armed state.
But when liberals approach the issue with this ahistorical approach, I am so confused
because the lesson to have learned, the lesson that we all were supposed to learn from, the
build up to World War II and the aftermath of World War II is liberals and socialists
have to link up arms to defeat fascism. Liberals have to make way for the socialist movement,
the communist movement, because otherwise fascism wins. That's the whole story. So it's
very odd when you got liberals in 2026 being like, well, you know, the real problem is
we got to fucking defeat the socialists. It's like, no, you're just, you're doing the same
thing. This is, this is a, this happened already. Okay. This already happened. You're a fucking
idiot. This literally happened. You know what happened after Hitler rose to power? It's
so strange. Yeah, it's not liberalism or barbarism is socialism or barbarism. Okay.
Anyway, speaking of fascists, very funny that this Adolf Hitler admirer is over here being
like, supporting Assad is just like supporting Nazis, except, you know, it's not base when
he does it.
It's base when Nick Fuentes does it though, because he actually does support Nazis and
is on doesn't we don't get the national so we don't get the national socialists
were no worse than all other socialists damn damn true true true well I get up
here to chat yeah yeah sure and 70 80 million people and also like the like I
don't really have like I don't know a lot about that guy I don't know like what
was involved how he was involved in China or something he doesn't know any I don't know a lot
about that guy now but I'll say I hate him thing like I don't really know but what I do know is that
neither one of these ideologies whether it's Mao or Hitler ideology neither of these are American
They're fundamentally-
I mean, he's not wrong.
Oftentimes, I make that same argument to the fucking malice lopers in my chat.
Flint, I will not talk to Nick. I saw this.
You know, talk to them. They're, as I always say, everybody's a monster to you. Talk to them.
Yeah.
Is there anybody you wouldn't talk to? Of course. But Flinty's prick, people like that.
like actual Nick Fuentes. Yeah. Yeah. Was it an activist or whatever? He's a Nazi. He's, you know,
plain. I mean, look, nowadays, everybody's crazily. I get that Bill wants to say this,
and I know Nick has said a lot of negative stuff, etc. But at the end of the day,
Nick has never endorsed, as far as I know, the same terrorist groups that want to wipe out all the
juice. What? What are you talking about? You heard him deny the holocaust and you said he's
based for it. What the fuck? He admires Adolf Hitler. What are you saying? You know, you know.
Oh
He admires and praises Adolf Hitler because he's done it on the pierce Morgan show
Where you watched and you went that's based
This is from the same I love that
Earlier he's talking about fucking how I you know these ideas are dangerous and not American
And so anybody who's going around cosplaying is one of these characters. It's really pathetic, isn't it?
I mean you literally have somebody who's going around cosplaying at like so much of this is unironically
Oh, he's wearing a traditional Chinese suit and I hate that
It's awesome like again, we are so proud of our ignorance. It is crazy to me
Americans, as Americans, we are so fucking proud.
We just wear that shit on our sleeve.
We're like, hell yeah, brother.
I don't like what he's fucking wearing.
He's, I hate this guy.
I hate that.
He's wearing a Chinese suit.
I fucking hate China.
I hate the Chinese.
Any representation of Chinese culture,
I am not about that lifestyle.
It's fucked up.
as a basically like a dictator or fascist leader and again very popular garb in asia like across the board
like other chinese people wear it there's a billion point four of them
people in korea wear it like it's a very popular style not as popular as it used to be obviously but
And he's making a speech against fascism
It's crazy, isn't it? Oh my god. And so this is what happened and I do think wait, what the fuck they're just giving him
Imgur links
with like
Destiny subreddit. Oh god, they're so lame dude. They all work together
Haven't stopped thinking about this watch the asm go videos here in question
first time ever seeing this guy and I have no idea how people like this. He's just summarizing
right wing Twitter in the most infantile way. Does he even have ideas of his own? I said,
welcome to what I deal with every day on the other side of the internet. I don't need streamers
to be academics for God's sake. You can't be talking about how Homer defiles the Odyssey
and described Sinon as some guy. Sometimes he goes on racist rants of his own. It's true.
There is versatility there.
He's in an Israeli ad ad.
Israeli spyware is incredible.
What is it?
Israeli spyware?
Dad?
Dad?
Whoa!
He sounds like a bitch!
Everyone's using Israeli spyware.
But what does it do?
Everything!
It shows me what to watch.
Everyone!
Wait, what?
This is not an Israeli ad.
What do you talk about?
This is probably a Groybert chatter.
Yeah, it's a it's a parody I mean, I don't even know if it's a gripper or not, but
it's like saying your address is Bill Clinton now because you're wearing a suit and tie. Yeah.
Anyway, let's finish off the approval and now lured peasants defy for him during the civil war only to start them after lemmao yet lured them
Yeah, he just he hypnotized the peasants the positive language about this. It's kind of funny because like at least this guy knows a lot more
like
I wish you said this about Nazi Cux Cosplaying. Who are these guys in his audience who are
like the last bastion of liberalism who are just watching Asmongole, but they're like,
hey, I really don't like how much you actually glaze the Nazis. Like I would never watch
a song, right? Of course I'm going to watch you, but hey man, could you possibly, could
Could you possibly tone it down on the wish you said this about the Nazi Cugs cosplay?
This kind of stuff should be seen as just as bad, if not worse than supporting Nazis.
It should.
And you can say we're obsessed with Israel through this power.
You care about Israel.
This is another Israel comment.
I don't care about your Israel, your Israel derangement syndrome.
I hope that more people are starting to pick up on this and realize it that a lot of these people that are trying to bring up Israel
Don't actually they they hate you and they want you to think about Israel. So you don't think about them
Wait, what?
But you are thinking about Israel and defending Israel
He look at his face. He's so self-assured. He's like, yeah, based. Yeah, no, it has nothing to do with the the unbelievable amount of
Foreign policy control Israel has over our government as we're currently waging war in Iran more troops are dying in the process
That's the reason he's gotta be on the Israel he's gotta be on the Israel a dime, right?
right? Like the, they want to bring up Israel so they can say they're doing a bad thing.
So then they can have the cover for them doing the bad thing too. What is the bad thing?
What is the bad thing I'm doing? My advocacy here is literally, Democrats should stop collaborating
with fascist Republicans that are allowing ICE to kill our neighbors. What's the bad
thing that I'm doing here. It's just like always vague generalization. Oh, he's doing
the bad thing. I'm doing the good thing. Don't do the bad thing. Do the good thing instead.
That's it. And I've been trying to call this out for like the better part of a year now.
I think now a lot of other people are waking up and seeing that this is what's happening.
Yeah, people are waking up to the reality that actually all of the people's enmity towards
Israel was so that they can defend themselves? Sure.
Did you see he will ban people who try to catch him on an inconsistency?
Asman Gould is confronted by chatter for switching his position on the 2020 election fraud.
He basically shows to everyone that he runs a cult.
No dissent is allowed, exposing his hypocrisy and grifting is forbidden.
He threatens to ban anyone that questions him.
This is why he blocked me instead of farming me because he's afraid he knows someone like
me can destroy him says based Mexican gamer against cultural Marxism and woke ideologies.
Well, bro, you said to us you didn't think 2020 was stolen.
You're trying to catch me or you're not. Wait a minute.
You're not trying to catch me in a in an inconsistency, are you?
You're not trying to do that because that that's a ban. That's a permanent ban if that's what you're trying to do
Wait, what oh
My god, if I if I said that out loud
If I said that out loud
LSF would fucking nuke that shit in the orbit it would have like
700,000 upvotes on Reddit being like, Hasan is, Hasan is fucking, he's, he's openly admitting
he's bitch made.
That's so funny.
Asmo will be like, yeah, this is how it is.
These guys, he admits it.
Yeah.
He can't do it.
He can't handle his words coming back to haunt them.
You see chat?
Yeah.
He is not a consistent person at all.
Here he is two years ago saying,
if you believe in election fraud, you're dumb.
However, I also don't think you should be taken seriously either.
Like, I think it's just stupid, right?
I mean, my mom would like go on.
Wait, where's the original video?
I think...
Wait, hold on.
There's the original video right here.
Election fraud video.
Up your life.
If that's about it, man, that's what's happened to so many of these people.
That is.
And as many are not a demon, I think that I am a fallen angel.
And the reality is that of all the people, this is what I really believe is that I think
that I am one of the only people that is truly virtuous.
And a lot of other...
What the fuck?
I'm going to show you why I shouldn't trust the side of the clip that I posted multiple
Times where shows lying and cheating and deceiving people. He's an actual sociopath.
Remember the Asmongold never believed in the fraud of the 2020 election and mocked all those
people who brought up the topic. Wait, so this guy is a like gigahog? Exposing Asmongold grifting
election fraud. So this guy's like a gigahog, huh? That's what this guy's doing. This Nezwhal
Doomer guy. He went from he's like, oh, I'm demanding like integrity in their hog checking him.
They're checking his street creds in in in the hog universe. Los Angeles, California,
there is this new debate about if the election that took place in there. Oh my god.
Oh, oh my God. Oh my God, he's not American. Oh my God. I. Oh my God. Is it legit or it's
it's not. Now, in this video, I am not going to talk specifically about that. This video
is about the hypocrisy of us. Read his bio. It's in his Mexican. Oh, oh, oh, my God. Oh,
my god
bro that's my primo i'm sorry i'll sort him out
also let's go and see what he believed and how he talked about waterfrog before
so to me i i talked about waterfrog 2020 was indeed rigged i don't want to talk about that
i i literally don't even want to talk about it i don't want to get into it i don't want to argue
I don't care. You think it's rigged. That's true. Go ahead under these only hope for decent people in the country is to rise out of our millions
We can't wait for the future rigged elections. So wait and so now everybody so now all of the elections are rigged
Everything is fake every election is stolen like oh my god guys
This is where we're at now. They're all fake. They're all stolen. That's it
Wow, I don't even know what to say
and stop the count. Yeah, I guess so, right?
And, wow. And the left turn, right?
I guess, yeah, I thought, well, this is what happened in 2016.
They all said, oh, Russia, that's what I always thought was so ironic
about the 2020 election, like, you know, Trump saying that was stolen.
And people would be like, oh, you can't say that.
People said that about Trump for four years.
It was such a common thing.
Making sure that they're winning elections, right?
There's people who in 2020, they thought the election was stolen
in every state, basically.
But they still shut up to go next time. So something is happening there where they're really big on going out and winning elections
And I mean to be fair people said that the 2016 election was rigged by Russia
And they still came back and they voted in record numbers for Biden
I think that ever since the 2016 election every election had oh, he's still trying to tie it back to the Democrats did it first
That's why the Republicans are saying this stupid thing has been fake
That's it. Every election is fake. Every election is rigged. People were saying that even the 2024
election was rigged. What else can he do? Yeah, I know, right? But that's what I'm saying.
They're still saying it. I'm just saying, right? That's the reason. I disagree with that. I don't
think any of the elections were rigged. And I think that people are just coping with losing.
That's what I think. And specifically Fulton County, a target of his complaints relating to the 2020
election. Shortly after that election Trump spoke to, if Trump was right about the election being
stolen, I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself. I really don't. I don't know what I'm gonna do.
How many times did he fucking advocate against the election being stolen? What the fuck?
He's so salty Spencer Pratt lost after he made fun of you.
You literally claimed the LA Merrill election was rigged after. Yeah, I know it's because
he was excited to get a dunk off on me. And then he gave me an accidental W on that one,
which is awesome. This guy is the most awesome though. I love this guy. This guy is a Mexican
hog and we need more, we need more of those. Okay. Again, the Groyper movement is international
and unbelievably diverse. The one thing I will say is that the overwhelming majority
of the Groyper's overwhelming majority of Asmongole fans are not American. It's, there's
something really funny about this. There's something unbelievably funny about the idea
that these guys were like the most nationalistic people that are like America first America first
like that's our whole fucking motto that are all larping as white nationalist white supremacist
american neo nazis they are all not american and very few of them are white i don't know how it
happen. I don't know why it happened. I will tell you, you match up my audience, you match
up my viewership. My viewership is overwhelmingly American. Asmongol's viewership on the other
hand is overwhelmingly European. He is doing the Tucker Carlson meta, the Tucker Carlson meta.
Okay, Tucker Carlson's newfound influence does not come from America, in my opinion.
I know that he was a massive, he was a massive content creator, a massive commentator when
he was on Fox News, but I think his newfound audience actually comes from Bangladesh and
the Uma in general, same with Jackson Henkel, like a lot of these guys have
massive audiences outside of the United States of America. Because especially, look, I know
I know my people. Okay, I know my people. There's there is nothing it's catnip to the
ummah. Okay, when they see a white guy, a white Christian guy, praise Islam, praise
Muslims say that Muslims aren't like demonic or barbaric or all terrorists. It is fucking
catnip. The Umaz knees buckle. Okay. They will forever be your fedein when you got a
white guy. Guys like me, I'm fucking terrible. I, I, you know, there's, there's a little
bit of, there's a little bit of respect because I'm a Turkish guy and I've made it big in America.
But also, there is never, I will never be able to get the same level of respect from the entire Muslim world, same with Mehdi Hassan, right?
Like, we are obviously known figures in the Muslim world for sure.
And they, you know, there's a lot of respect for what we do, but never the same level of admiration that Tucker Carlson and Jackson Henkel will have.
You are wrong. His audience literally hates Muslims. No, I'm not talking about Asman Gold. I'm talking about Tucker Carlson and Jackson Henkel
Tucker Carlson and Jackson Henkel have a
viewership primarily outside of the United States of America
Mostly in the Muslim world
Asman Gold's viewership again primarily outside of the United States of America mostly from Europe and other places
And what's interesting is, both Tucker Carlson, Jackson Henkel, and Asmongold talk about American
politics from unique perspectives, as do I.
My audience, unlike the four people that I just mentioned, and the four people that I
mentioned, myself, Asmongold, Tucker Carlson, and Jackson Henkel, my audience has the highest
American density.
Isn't that fucking insane?
Meanwhile, if you were to ask Asmongold, you say, it's un-American, you're un-American,
hate america your fucking communists your hate america
in a crazy
you being a yank heaven isn't a good thing man yes it is what are you talking
about
of course it is
and inconsistency are you
you're not trying to do that
is that that's a bad
it's not treason it's addition it's treason because they're siding with
another country
as they're doing this with the uh...
no i'm uh... i'm not as well i'm just saying it was your opinion before
and you have a problem with that
why do you think that was my opinion
why do you think that
so this is i know this might be hard no i thought the same way
because you told us right
so i'm going to base my opinions on things based off of the evidence that's
provided. Foreign interference in elections and elections being rigged is not something
that is exclusive to the presidential election. And if you want me to actually be completely
like transparent with what I believe, I think that local and smaller scale elections get
rigged a lot more easily and a lot more than the larger scale big elections do. And the
And the reason why I think that is because there's probably less oversight and less controls
for it.
So realistically, that's the reason why also, I haven't seen enough, enough conclusive evidence
that the 2020 election was stolen.
And yeah, moment and seven four, like six, seven, two, two years of Europeans.
this. Here's a quick comparison of the top country's searcher-gone-goal for a Sompiger
and Asmongold over the past 12 months.
A Sompig, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Asmongold, Finland,
Sweden, Norway, Estonia, Canada.
Estonia mentioned.
Wave the fucking flag, boys.
Wait, why is there that kind of audience distribution? Is it because those countries like different
versions of America? No, man. It's because a lot of the MAGA movement on the Internet
is LARPing Europeans.
Neekskit, you go outside, I assume.
Even when you go to red neighborhoods nowadays, you don't see too many fucking MAGA flags.
Why is that?
There's plenty of evidence.
There's plenty of empirical data readily available to figure out why that's the case, because
Americans don't fuck with Trump.
it's an increasingly diminishing cult. However, there is this fascinating phenomena that I
have talked about for the last two years where Eurocux, right wing Europeans, it's about
a solid third of the ones I've talked to are gassing them up because he's a lol cow to
them. Can't tell you how many of his chatters have been from fucking Poland that I've talked
to. Yeah, a lot of Euro cooks that are far right love MAGA. I don't know exactly what
it is. It doesn't make any sense. My assumption always was when you're a nationalist, you're
supposed to have the interests of your nation state. And being pro MAGA is very strange
because you're literally putting the interests of your nation state secondary to the interests
of the United States. But that is the case. The most die hard.
Welcome back to We're Not Kidding. I'm your host Mehdi Hassan.
And joining me today is the esteemed guest, Hassan Piker.
I'm Hassan Piker, and I say my name is Hassan.
I want to be in with the white college kids.
Today, we're finally going to figure out who the better Hassan is once and for all.
It's obviously me, the real Mehdi Hassan.
Yeah, it's on Micah.
It's on Micah is joining us and we're not kidding this week, but you have something together
we've got a lot to talk about.
I know.
See you there.
Yeah, I did this before my speech.
The ex-US military dudes would consider Palestinians as people's house of the greatest wars but
also loves Hitler and denies the Holocaust as a common Nazi archetype that I've missed.
Sam on the Canary mission. Who is this guy? Oh, Ken O'Keefe. Yeah, yeah, he is. Yeah,
this guy is crazy. Yeah, he's a, he's a famous prominent neo-Nazi. Yeah. Very strange.
Duffy, I've spoken to some Jewish people who think that Nenyeo bears some responsibility
for the rise of anti-Semitism's maximalist policies in the war.
There are some fair criticism.
The highest number of child MPTs of any modern, what the fuck?
Part of what is still worth looking at when you talk about anti-Semitism in the New York
City and what people are so concerned about.
it's an important background backdrop and i understand what you're saying
rachel that the problem with him not speaking up for all the jews in the
city that are in danger i have those that book into a lot of jewish people
who think that
benjamin yet and yahoo
there's no responsibility for the rise of anti-semitism that some of his
maximalist policies
in terms of the war and how it's been executed i think there's some there's
some fair criticism in that it's the highest number
of child amputees of any modern conflict
is in Gaza. That doesn't minimize the horrors of October 7th. But I think it's fair to have
that conversation. It's just not a conversation that Mondani should weigh in on because it
has nothing to do with his city. And he said he was going to run on fixing the city and
the city is getting worse.
But I think in specific to this context only, like if a mayor of a foreign country was talking
about arresting you, you'd probably have an opinion on it.
Right. But he could just not have a comment on it.
He just gives Mondani power by even weighing in on it. Just let it go.
I don't think so.
But he needs to give him on Donny power. He's running the biggest city in the world, but
he doesn't have any power for this issue. All right. U. S forces are
Uh, that's 10 bodies. Er, er, er, alert Jonathan Greenblatt alert Jonathan Greenblatt. That's
10 anti Semitisms right there. Shifting the blame over the Benjamin Netanyahu, the greatest
patriot of all time. Excuse me. Excuse me. Someone must alert Jonathan Greenblatt right
right now. Jonathan, do you see what's going on, Jonathan?
Foxes Hamas. Fox News is Hamas. That's crazy. Speaking of which, yeah, this was the Asmongold
denying electoral theft back all the way back two years ago.
It's like, uh, I don't think you should get banned for questioning the election.
However, um, I also don't think you should be taken seriously either.
Like, I think it's just stupid, right?
I mean, not my mom would like go on and on and on about how the election was stolen.
I always thought it was total bullshit, right?
I'm going to be honest.
I did.
I thought it was total bullshit.
All the evidence I've ever seen, complete bullshit.
And to be fair, the only evidence that I've really seen of anybody trying to rig things is fucking Trump last time, right?
Saying, find me votes where the fuck are you gonna find him?
Right? That's not really a good way to say, you know, make sure that you count them in the right way.
So that's the way I see it, right? And I think the entire topic was fucking ridiculous.
Yeah. What happened, dude? What happened? Oh, that's right. He's eating Trump's dick and balls.
That's what happened. Anyway, Mr. Inconsistent, by the way, is actually now getting called out by
motherfucking, is actually getting called out by more Pregasus and Pregasus, which is crazy.
Developing story. First, I'm going to start here. Asmongold reacts to Hassan calling out his
lady friend what oh wait did I hit the wrong did I click on the wrong one what
the fuck I did it's this account here it is as Miguel reacts to as I'm gonna
react to the song trying to file a restraining order against destiny because
you won't debate him in public did he get recruited in the Gryffindor what is he
trying to wear should the song be able to get a restraining order on destiny I
think the answer is no unless proof is provided a stalking harassing as a public
figure when someone is keeping up with the things you say in public and I don't
think you need a restraining order. He goes to an event and destiny goes to the
event. Destiny can't get into the event because Azan is there. It makes him look
very bad when this happens. If he has a restraining order then he can point to
that as a reason. He is just looking for a legal ability to not have to be pressed
by destiny and not willing to interact with him. So yeah, no, he is actually
legally stalking and harassing me. It has definitely gotten to that point and
And not only that, but he's also openly admitted it on numerous occasions.
So I think there's sufficient evidence to do so.
I mean, if I had, if I had literally done a fraction of what destiny has been saying
about me trying to identify where I'm at in real time, saying someone's got to do it,
someone should kill this guy, uh, Hasan has said enough that is like, it's worthy of
killing him and also openly admitting to harassment of this sort, right?
Inself freak who's admitted to being a part of the D a part of the DGG and being excited me to sounds
Actually one that was harassed it was be hilarious if he was like DGs were harassing me at the event
And thus I was unable to show up for fear of my life or something like that. Can you imagine that would be fucking hysterical?
So it's really funny
Are you really afraid of a canoem though no of course not dude
I'm just fucking grossed out by him and on top of that
It's been seven years and he's not let up and his free gas audience are constantly trying to you know
Intercept me in the real world at the direction of destiny
You know it is stalking it is organized harassment is organized stalking and organized harassment
I've no other content creator has done anything of the sort to another content creator
If I behave like this to Asmengold, you guys would fucking call me out 100%
Like can you imagine if I was like someone needs to keep track of Asmengold at all times and and put it on a website
Or if I had said something like oh Asmengold deserves to be you know exed. I'm not gonna say it
I don't even want the fucking clip to be out there. That's what Destiny has said about me
And this is over the course of like the last seven years, right? Over the course of the
last seven years. Yes, you heard that correctly for the last seven years. So like Nick Flentes
has not gone to this level with Ben Shapiro. Nick Flentes has done something similar to Ben
Shapiro. He's done something similar to Charlie Kirk, but even he has not gone as hard, as obsessive
about stalking and constantly harassing, cyber harassing, smearing everyone and anyone that
they're associated with. Like one of his fucking, one of his loyal soldiers over here talking about
how he wants them moved to LA to become closer to me. Comparison's hotel situation of Mao and
Kim Jong-un talks about attending protests like Kim Jong-un. You don't really see that with anybody
else unless it's a really private event. This is College Democrats of America, which is for
College of America, the voice of opinions, the influences. I think I need to move to LA.
Hassan loves to go to protest in LA. If he decides to involve himself in protest, I can
be there. This guy already has a restraining order from his ex-girlfriend, like literally.
So, yeah, summary of his post calling on a violence. Yeah, you have a moral obligation
to bully the fuck out of this guy if you've ever seen him at one of your protests. Don't let CCP
agitators, paid agitators infiltrate liberal crowds of protest, make his presence as uncomfortable
as possible into this force of pack up and fuck off back to his wheel mansion. His location should
be publicly available at all times while he's live streaming. If Dan wants to do something useful
and still be a Hassan hater, he should create a track Hassan X account that posts current location
when he's out of protest. I honestly think you could perfectly justify attacking killing Hassan
IRL for statements like this. Just a heads up, I'm going to be doing some mass harassment campaigns
in every single journalist who gives this guy free interviews from now on. He's talking about
me. Someone is going to die soon in this space. I'm pretty sure there's literally nowhere else
to go at this point. I'm not sure who, but I think it will happen. It will happen soon.
Like that's sufficient. You show these logs to any law enforcement guy. They're going to be like,
like, no, that's, you're on the money. This is over the course of like, numerous years
as well. Many of this is like, recent 2025 and 2026. So for Asmongold to turn around and
be like, yeah, he's just like worried about debating him. That's pussy shit. Asmongold
is worried about debating me and also destiny as well. Asmongold is terrified of debating
destiny. He's also terrified of debating me as well, ironically enough. So it's pretty
sweet that he's saying that. I've debated plenty of people, okay? People far more intelligent
than Destiny. People with far more, far larger of an audience, reactionaries, liberals of different
backgrounds as well, okay? I'm not worried about debating Destiny. This is just something far beyond
on that. This is cyber stalking. That's it. And Asmongold knows this too. Asmongold knows
this as well, right? He's just trying to posture this way to his audience right now
Now because he wants to be on good terms with sex pestity.
Straight up.
Why the fuck?
Why the fuck would this be appropriate at all?
It's a guy who's like, you know, been obsessed, psychotically obsessed and has now moved on
to IRL stocking. But in any case, this was such a bridge too far moment that even XQC
didn't defend it. Even XQC was like, yeah, that's sufficient. That's what the college
Democrats of America did is perfectly valid in that situation, especially because they're
filming themselves doing this. That's what's so wild about it, like they filmed the entire
attempt. And I think from what I understand they also got the timing wrong because there
was a Q&A, there was a moderated Q&A earlier in the day off stream. But even then it wasn't
like everyone gets a microphone. I thought it would be like that. It wasn't like that.
I have no issues. I've done plenty of Q&As where his fans have actually approached me
in those Q&As. They look fucking goofy. So I'm not even like worried about that shit
either because remember Oxford Cambridge and on other college campuses there will always be like
at least one or two guys um there's always like one or two fucking guys that uh will be plants in
the crowd who will come in and just be like oh well don't you feel embarrassed that you love
like you want crime me to be uh russian territory or some shit like that and then you know i'll
respond to them or like when I went to University of San Francisco law school if you recall
there was that one person in the crowd who was like shaking and was like well don't
you think that you're justifying rape and I was like I'm not this is what I mean you
disagree with me and then they shut the fuck up usually that's how that interaction goes
these guys make it up in their minds.
XT actually changes take on this after he saw how Pestini and Asmonds fans attacked them for it.
Yeah, anyway, M. Pegasus, more Pegasus, even he was like, this is too much apparently. Let's
take a look. It's more important for them to bring in these other extremist radicals and ignore
all of the average people like destiny. Yeah, that's crazy. But I will push back a little bit.
I don't think destiny represents average people either. I think they're both pretty insane.
But I find it interesting that a sound can be banned from literal countries, right?
Condemn for his anti-Semitism. He's, you know, just being racist statements, crazy statements,
all the time. But he's still welcomed in spaces like these. We talk about the news. We talk about
a movement here. We don't, we don't fucking talk about random losers on the internet.
Of course. Well, you know, you certainly do talk about me a lot. So I don't know. I guess
I am a random loser on the internet, right? Well, listen, I don't even necessarily disagree.
He loves that I noticed him, I think. Am I crazy? Or is he beginning to warm up to me?
Or is it the fear that the beautiful nation state of Singapore is probably going to come
down hard on him for all of his criminal slander? He was bricked while recording this. Yeah.
Why does he always do this one angle?
I don't understand.
Are you with them, right?
I do think Destiny is unhinged,
but I just wish he would learn the lesson himself.
It's very hard to feel bad for such a massive hypocrite.
Same thing as he does with like bad empanada.
He calls these people psychos, cyber-stalkers,
harasses, doxers, and then he platforms somebody like that.
It's like, it's very hypocritical, everything he does, right?
If anything is in line with his agenda,
he will just excuse it.
But yeah, I'm very consistent on this.
nobody deserves, you know, any kind of IRL harassment.
Neck pain angle, more pegasolot was baiting you to bring him attention so we can pivot to his true self, pegawoke.
Respect, respect, respect.
Yeah, empregases, congrats empregases.
Denim gives as many tanks to empregases, formerly known as more Pegasus for going out of his way in his latest video to amplify the empregases name she gave him and congratulate him on his pregnancy.
Did you guys know you can milk yourself?
You gonna wear that jacket against your fire?
Which one?
The fucking, the Mao one?
Of course.
Or this one?
The Zhongshan?
I will be wearing the Zhongshan suit.
Retard him out.
Which jacket?
This one?
Oh, this one
Anyway, he didn't even defend me bro. He's fan-sitting
You know DG narrative ain't working when even M Pregasus acknowledges that's new channel has harass us on IRL. Yeah
Online harassment though totally fine to him. I guess
Singapore do be raising cane. Yeah, that's true
Dude even Vox gave a history
This is a Chinese sumber word?
This is a Chinese sumber word?
This is a Chinese sumber word?
This is a Chinese sumber word?
It became so closely associated with Chinese Communism and with Mao himself that it's often
referred to as a Mao suit in the West.
But its origins predate Mao's rise.
In China it's called a Zhang Shan suit.
After the leader who actually introduced it, Chinese Revolutionary Sun Yat-sen, who also
went by Sun Zhang Shan.
Sun Yat-sen was a key figure in the 1911 overthrow of China's last imperial dynasty,
the Qing dynasty, and served as the Republic of China's first president.
Yep.
introduce a practical form of national dress that reflected a modernizing world, but remained
distinctly Chinese.
His new suit incorporated the high, unfolded collar seen on traditional tunic jackets worn
during the Qing dynasty, but worn over pants rather than over a robe per Qing era tradition.
As for Mao, the modified Zhang Shan suit he wore included a turndown collar, plus four
military-style front pockets and exactly five buttons down the center.
This is the suit that he turned into.
By the way, we went into great detail.
There's also a little pocket up here inside behind the pocket for a pen and that the four
different pockets all have a relationship.
It's symbolic.
The four pockets all mean something I forgot, but the tailor explained it.
The five buttons mean something too.
Every aspect of the jacket is about Chinese culture.
The pockets are for snackies.
4 pockets, 4 dumplings.
Propriety, justice, honesty, and humility.
Each pocket for each pass you must eliminate.
I feel what the 5 buttons are for.
five buttons, five year plan. No, it's not for five year plans.
Front groups and fellow travelers,
State Department of tax, US leftover Cuba,
new report denounces Havana and claims campaign of subversion has infiltrated
highest levels of US government.
New York mayor Zohar Mamdani, US car, some in Hanomar and streamer and pundit
Hassan Piker Mamdani Piker were mentioned in the report as was a Hanomar's
daughter, Isra Hersey.
5 branches of the government under Sun Yat Sen, Sun Yat Sen.
We're in another fucking Mao style suit.
You see this fucking guy?
All the way at the Vanity Fair Oscars party.
What's up with this guy?
You know, yeah, to that I say, what gives?
Anyway, all right, let's see what Fox News is saying.
All right, welcome back, Rick, and today, a stunning new report out from the State Department.
details a decades-long Cuban influence campaign right here in the U.S., targeting U.S. politics.
The report says Havana has been using ideological networks and organizations there to advance
its agenda 90 miles away off the coast of Florida and undermine Western ideals. Secretary
of State Marco Rubio calls Cuba, quote, the leading sponsor of radical leftism and third
worldism in the U.S. So let's bring in Tommy Pigott. He's spokesperson for the Department
state. Tommy, this caught our eye from this report here at Fox News. Take a look. These
are just some of the organizations implicated in this Cuban influence campaign, all of them
American groups. Code Pink, ICAP, the People's Forum, Democratic Socialists of America, National
Lawyers Guilds, National Network on Cuba. It's one thing to say that the Cuban regime
poses a national security threat to the United States, something you and the Secretary say
all the time. It is another to say they're actually interfering or trying to interfere
in the U.S. political system.
Well, the National Network on Cuba, for example, issued a rapid response plan calling for agitation
and resistance, publishing the location of ICE facilities of military installations.
That gives one powerful example of this network. We also see from Cuban-linked groups, we're
We're seeing a fomentation of protests and other violent activity.
And then we see other Cuban linked groups, then bail those that are in jail for violent
activity, bail them out of prison to release them back onto a man.
Adam Johnson talked to Mark Ames about the thought that thought terminating trap traps
the Department of Copyright used to attack you.
This word terrorism, just as the load bearing word of the last 25 years, you can't.
And you see this recently with Ro Khanna statements about violence and non violence.
He keeps saying, well, Hamas is a terrorist organization.
like, yeah, but that's just a tautology. You're just saying they're bad guys because they're
bad guys. You're not explaining how that's different from, say, the IDF, which you yourself
accuse of committing genocide. Clearly, genocide's worse than some nebulous concept of terrorism,
right? And it's such a low bearing word because it just shuts your brain off. You don't have
to think. It's the definition of a thought terminating cliche. You just say, well, they're
terrorists.
Yup. Got a lot of experience in that field here and that a lot. That's the number one.
That's the number one thought terminating cliche that gets repeated whenever people go, I can't
address anything that Hassan is saying about like why militant resistance forms or anything
like that. So I'm just going to go terrorist, terrorist, terrorist, that's it. That's all
it is just spam terrorism. You see this when Dana Batch does this hand-wringing after her son
Piker said that that Hamas was more moral than the IDF. There's some some iteration of that.
And she says, well, may I remind you that, you know, Hamas is a terrorist organization according
to the US, the EU, and then she always goes in New Zealand. She goes, Australia, New Zealand.
Well, well, New Zealand, you know, I mean. Yeah, that's. And it's like, so that's another way of
saying that that 85% of the countries on earth don't view Hamas as a terrorist organization or
really view the concept of terrorism as a meaningful concept.
Always to the point to make you or me or anyone a terrorist.
President is back. Holy shit. Look at that 70 month subscriber open presence back.
Biden official switching sides. Yeah, I saw that. You know, we can't let these guys get away with
this shit, but John Finer, Biden's deputy national security advisor said that for both
Hamas and Israel civilian harm was not a side effect, but part of the strategy the U S
he said shouldn't tolerate wars in which civilian harm is the goal. He even then.
Okay, even then he's like, oh, there's this like false equivalence that they're fucking
Engaging in where it's like, oh, well Hamas is no care consideration for civilian life and neither does Israel. It's like to what extent
To what degree?
Like this is the worst form of ass covering. Okay. I told you this already if you backed Israel to the hill your
Or your face-saving operation needs to match the intensity of your defense at the time.
So for a lot of these guys, you have to arm Hamas, okay?
Sorry.
If you want to avoid going to Hague, right, obviously, that's not going to happen.
Let's be real.
There is no real international criminal court.
We're destroying it right now.
But in the, in the, in a just world, you would have to, if you armed Israel, while Israel
was doing a genocide, now you got to arm the victims, okay?
That's how you redeem yourself, big dog.
That's it.
You armed Israel while it was doing a genocide, you knew it was doing a genocide, and you
fucking armed them.
Now you have no, there's no like, oh, well, both sides don't care about civilians.
Like, no, no, no, no.
If you were like kind of pro-Israel, then you were doing the both sides thing and now you're pro-Palestine and you're doing the both sides thing
That's that's for someone else
That's not for you. You want redemption you want redemption. You got to give the Palestinians an iron dome
Okay, and also
Maybe pay the airport send them some fucking send him a fleet of f-35 fighter jets
you know
Some gravity bombs some guided and unguided munitions that they can use
Train them with pilots. Maybe send them a couple pilots. Maybe train them to pilot the fucking airplanes
That's it
That's it
Your level of enthusiasm for Israel during Gaza during the genocide of Gaza has to now match your level of enthusiasm and defense of the people of Gaza
That's it
Yeah, give him a proprietary f-35 the only they get to control unlike any other country on the planet
This video of you is blowing it. Wait, what do you mean what it's not blowing I've just got 8,000 likes
He's got excited. He is to talk to him. He's like, Oh, you're fly as hell.
They want your soul. Don't sell your soul. You know, I have a soul.
You need to sit down in the whole aisle and you go get a church by and claim to buddy.
What I understand about this whole narrative shift is that if we all admit that Israel's doing genocide,
also mean we have to admit the Hamas response warranted no this is you don't understand that's why
some people will literally fucking say Israel's doing a genocide and then they continue defending
Israel they're like oh Israel's doing a genocide but we still got to give them arms we still got
to give them weapons what I'm sorry what no no that's like the inherent contradiction between
liberal Zionists many of which don't even recognize that Israel's done a genocide anyway
Because if they do they have to recognize that we have to hold Israel accountable
Anyway, why are they blacklisting you?
Cuz my fucking weed too loud
My bitch is too bad, my weed too loud, my smoke too powerful, steak too juicy, lobster too buttery,
bits too fire, that's how it is. This report details a decades-long influence and espionage
campaign that continues to this day and really is an untold story. It's a story where we hear bits
and pieces here and there but presents this. Yeah, this is also crazy because like they
introduced market reforms already so it doesn't even fucking matter. Obviously those market
reforms were irrelevant from the American perspective because the American perspective
is not about forcible liberalization of the Cuban economy and has everything to do with
destroying Cuba and turning it into an American island. They want to own it as a territory.
2 million likes on this tiktok, but yeah, there's gonna be more bloodshed, and let's
say shut your mouth, and let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted.
Blaming the victim.
Yeah, I met this guy at the Denver, uh, Malakiro's party.
He's really good.
He makes great videos.
For the violence, it feels like, uh, an abusive relationship reveals the identity of the ICE
agent responsible for the main murder this week.
The agent's name is David Brouillette.
Several relatives and hundreds of family court records attempt the Augusta District Clerk's
Office to detail years of unspeakable physical abuse to his daughters and ex-wives.
you
you
you

Even some major chiefs in this country who don't necessarily agree with this administration
says you always comply with law enforcement. But the hateful rhetoric that ICE isn't a
real law enforcement agency. I see these signs that were resist. ICE are that, you know,
that's abolished them. They're fascist. When you keep that hateful rhetoric up for year
and a half, there's going to be that percentage of that part, that population that's going
to be embolden to take action because they're not real law enforcement agencies.
Yeah. I mean, look, if we, if we must restore some semblance of law and order and accountability,
we have to fucking prosecute this guy.
Straight up.
We have to prosecute all the ICE agents
that have engaged in criminal misconduct
and all the ICE agents that killed Americans,
killed non-citizens as well,
and certainly the fucking the tippy top
of this administration.
There's no world where we just continue
business as usual politics once we're back in power.
Okay. Yeah, I know he was Obama's guy. I don't give a shit. Okay. I don't care
I was critical of Obama's deportation agenda as well. It's clearly ramped up a million notches at this point
That was unacceptable. This is that was unacceptable in criminal. This is also outright criminal and murderous
Okay
Like two things can be wrong at the same time and one thing can be far worse than the other sometimes the same fucking guy
What are we doing?
Look, I'm not oblivious to the evolution of ISIS techniques.
Getting less and less restrained, but it's also a little silly to not recognize that they're operating like fucking death squads right now.
I should resist them all they had to do simply comply with law for you.
Yeah, think about this position after I killed two murders in the streets of voted to give
them more money for training, which apparently led them to kill more to two more people and
body cameras that weren't used when they killed those people.
I should resist them. All they had to do was simply comply with law enforcement. If you
don't like what law enforcement did to you?
Like when people go, well, Obama, in this moment, I'm like, okay, what do you want me
to do about it? Should we not prosecute this guy then? If Obama fucking gave him a medal?
Yeah, FBI is no longer investigating ICE encounters, by the way, which means local law enforcement
has to step in.
go to the court, sue, call the ACLU, do whatever you want to do.
We should always comply in law enforcement.
If they did, they'd be alive today.
Let's be clear, you know?
Anyway.
All right, that's all I got for today.
I'll see you all tomorrow.
I'm tired.
I'm gonna go spend time with my family
Okay, love you guys. I will see you tomorrow
Okay, we are your family. Okay, well, I have a family family too
Anyway, peace everybody see you tomorrow. Bye. Bye
