[SPEAKER_15]: Hello, I'm welcome to Monday morning where we watch the Saturday morning news shows that you don't have to.
[SPEAKER_15]: I'm Katie Helper.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm Mary Mattie.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thank you so much for being here.
[SPEAKER_07]: Great to start the week with you in some of the, uh, let's corrupt people on corporate TV, including this week.
[SPEAKER_07]: a really nasty appearance by the devil himself, Benjamin Netanyahu, which unfortunately we're going to play because it's important we hear from our global president, our global leader.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, our official, our unofficial president.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, our future.
[SPEAKER_14]: My year.
[SPEAKER_07]: So thank you for being here.
[SPEAKER_07]: Our website again is usually this podcast.com, go there to support the show and get bonus content.
[SPEAKER_07]: And let's kick it off with our weekly recap from
[SPEAKER_16]: Good Sunday morning, a fragile ceasefire is holding in the Middle East this morning as negotiations continue between the United States and Iran, despite the two sides exchanging fire earlier in the week.
[SPEAKER_15]: After these stripes, you could be fired with your arms still on.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it is, it said, they trifled with us today.
[SPEAKER_01]: We blew them away.
[SPEAKER_01]: They trifled.
[SPEAKER_01]: They called that a trifle.
[SPEAKER_15]: Did you give us an update on what is the latest in the fall?
[SPEAKER_15]: No, it's going.
[SPEAKER_01]: The talks are going very well, but they have to understand.
[SPEAKER_01]: If it doesn't get signed, they're going to have a lot of pain.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like how long is this gonna go on for where Trump refuses to negotiate good faith and just muses about blowing up Iran?
[SPEAKER_07]: This is gonna happen until it's last day in office where he's like leaving the White House in the helicopter and he says, if they don't sign that deal, they're in big trouble.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm gonna wipe out their civilization or find some new way to issue a genocidal threat.
[SPEAKER_07]: Because the latest day is ever since that clip as he's come back and said that his Iran's latest proposal is totally unacceptable.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: uh tell.
[SPEAKER_07]: Is it Trump doesn't want to resume to roar because he's lost.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's over.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: But he doesn't want to make a deal because that would require admitting that he's lost and also just recognizing Iran's minimal sovereignty, but he also can't do.
[SPEAKER_07]: So hence I think we're going to get this like song advance of just him pretending to negotiate claiming that Iran is not accepting the reasonable terms even though
[SPEAKER_07]: They've put out some of the detailed proposals on the table that address what supposedly is top issue which do clear weapons and then threatening to wipe out a run civilization.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, it's really hard to even do shows on this honestly because it's so fast moving with Trump, but it's like such meaningless fast movingness.
[SPEAKER_15]: It's just his ridiculous commentary and flip-flopping about it.
[SPEAKER_15]: I do like that he shared with us that he learned a new word, trifle.
[SPEAKER_15]: And he kind of reminds me of the affordability thing when he's like, you know, I developed this concept of affordability more or less.
[SPEAKER_15]: And he's like, I like to call that a trifle.
[SPEAKER_15]: which is to treat something or someone as unimportant.
[SPEAKER_15]: I guess he feels like he's not being taken seriously.
[SPEAKER_15]: Despite half serious, I'm respectful.
[SPEAKER_15]: He is with the Iranian government.
[SPEAKER_15]: But it's also a dessert typically consisting of plain or sponge cake, often soaked with wine or spirits.
[SPEAKER_15]: So maybe that's also a metaphor for how he's seeing this.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think that will inspire some new menu ideas at Mara Logo.
[SPEAKER_15]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, it's part of his intense diplomacy with Iran.
[SPEAKER_15]: Sweet, sweet diplomacy.
[SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_16]: After a volatile week with President Trump announcing operation freedom, a plan to escort international ships through the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway vital to the world's energy supply, before abruptly walking back the plan just 36 hours later.
[SPEAKER_16]: NBC News, learning exclusively Saudi Arabia feared the Trump administration's plan could provoke Iran to attack Gulf allies and risk reigniting the conflict.
[SPEAKER_07]: more of Trump's strategic genius announcing, so we had Operation Epic Fury, which was Epic F-Up, because it failed to overthrow Iran's government and just got a bunch of US military base in the region to strike.
[SPEAKER_07]: Then it launches Operation Freedom, which is like to help ships pass through the federal firmos, which he abandoned after 36 hours because,
[SPEAKER_07]: He can't do it.
[SPEAKER_07]: He doesn't have to quote him as he told DeLensky in the Oval Office.
[SPEAKER_07]: He doesn't have the cards, he doesn't have the cards.
[SPEAKER_07]: So Operation Freedom would come in another fail.
[SPEAKER_07]: You're muted, kitty.
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh, mine's me of that amazing George Michael song, Freedom.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, well, you know, I'm like...
[SPEAKER_15]: Sometimes the clothes do not make the man.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I don't like freedom, which was like a chart top or for weeks.
[SPEAKER_07]: The top of the charts, this freedom lasted 36 hours.
[SPEAKER_07]: And then was a complete dud.
[SPEAKER_07]: So, you know, if only Donald Trump could match the success of George Michael.
[SPEAKER_07]: And so many ways, George Michael also, you know, by the way, side note was a total progressive member of the communist party.
[SPEAKER_07]: When he was young, a opponent of the Iraq war and supporter of the Palestinian cause.
[SPEAKER_15]: I did not know that.
[SPEAKER_15]: I knew that he did really great stuff like visited children like visited children in hospitals and didn't want any like media coverage of it paid people's deaths and did it all privately.
[SPEAKER_15]: But I do have to see that documentary.
[SPEAKER_15]: Have you seen it?
[SPEAKER_15]: You did, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, there's so many documentaries, unfortunately, there's, but I've seen them all, yes, because yes, I'm going to share.
[SPEAKER_15]: Again, you, what, what other showed you get this from media analysis and documentary reviews and biographical nuggets about George Michael.
[SPEAKER_16]: El uncertainty in the street of remoices already hitting Americans at the pump gas prices topped four dollars and fifty five cents a gallon this week.
[SPEAKER_16]: The highest prices since the conflict began.
[SPEAKER_16]: President Trump saying those price spikes are temporary.
[SPEAKER_01]: When the wars over gas will fall down at levels that you've never seen before, you'll be down to where you were, maybe even look.
[SPEAKER_07]: Wow, you mean prices will come down to where they were.
[SPEAKER_07]: before you launched this unprovoked active aggression against Iran.
[SPEAKER_07]: Wow, thank you, President Trump.
[SPEAKER_07]: We'll be so grateful to you after Operation Ethic Ethic Ethic comes to an end.
[SPEAKER_07]: And again, one's that gonna happen.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like, as he's leaving the White House because it's last day in power.
[SPEAKER_07]: So therefore the war can finally end, you know?
[SPEAKER_07]: Like, yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm promising these price drops for a long time now.
[SPEAKER_07]: The war is almost over.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm almost done.
[SPEAKER_07]: Price is about to go down.
[SPEAKER_15]: It got rain the way of his affordability plan.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, it did.
[SPEAKER_15]: Right as he was launching Project of Forty-Bildy.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, we're in for a trade because we haven't heard from him in a while on the show.
[SPEAKER_07]: You and Ambassador Mike Waltz, he made the rounds on Sunday to defend Trump's regime change war against Iran and tell everyone how great it's going.
[SPEAKER_07]: So here he is.
[SPEAKER_18]: What is happening with negotiations?
[SPEAKER_18]: We heard on Friday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio say they expected a response from Iran about this proposal.
[SPEAKER_18]: Why haven't we gotten one?
[SPEAKER_13]: I think part of it is that their leadership has been so devastated and so fractured.
[SPEAKER_13]: We know that much Taba, the new Iatola, the previous Iatola son has been severely injured.
[SPEAKER_13]: He's in hiding.
[SPEAKER_13]: He's incredibly difficult to get a hold of yet the IRGC is still
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, there was a CNN report last week saying the opposite actually that he's he's in touch with everybody.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's issuing orders and it's like the propaganda narrative keeps changing.
[SPEAKER_07]: So they really got to pick a story and and stick to it.
[SPEAKER_07]: But I guess Mike Waltz and I going back to the the I told us out of commission.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's seriously wounded.
[SPEAKER_07]: They really keep shifting the narrative.
[SPEAKER_07]: I understand when you're trying to prolong a war that you started and can't walk away from, but you also don't want to reach a peace deal, you're in a tough spot, but it makes it hard to keep your story straight and that's what's happening here.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, I mean, they're also trying to, as always, they think that the way that they can make the American people feel better is by expressing like that there's lots of pain, starvation, bombing that's going on.
[SPEAKER_15]: So guys, at least the good news is that we're injuring people and it's a, it's a bonus because the bonus is that when we kill a bunch of civilians, sometimes we actually harm leaders.
[SPEAKER_15]: So don't worry, yeah, that's, I mean, yeah, this is something you'll see going forward.
[SPEAKER_15]: They love to gloat about someone not being readily visible in public.
[SPEAKER_15]: And then that's, I mean, because unlike other governments, including the Iranian government, the United States government just goes around assassinating leaders, whether or not there's established war or not.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, sometimes in you massacre about just school girls and their teachers as the U.S. did in menop and the opening hours of this regime change were people happen to get some leaders too.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, so everyone can feel good about that.
[SPEAKER_13]: I guess exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: Where do my quotes?
[SPEAKER_13]: uh... deferential to some degree so that is uh... making the negotiations go longer and slower i think than anyone would like but at the same time those negotiations and that diplomacy uh... is ongoing so we'll see what they come back with but president trump has been very clear not just now but frankly for decades even before he was in office uh... that the world cannot and should not
[SPEAKER_15]: have a genocidal aggressive regime with its hand on a new way is he talking about Israel home on nuclear button and Martha it's important to point out the so wait a genocidal aggressive regime we can't have a genocidal aggressive regime with its hand on a nuclear button so they must be really upset about Israel the one that has a nuclear weapon.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, if you're making a checklist there, you know, genocidal check, aggressive check, hand in a nuclear button check.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's actually Israel.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's.
[SPEAKER_15]: Where do you ask, actually?
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, you ask.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, but especially in West Asia, it's Israel with the only undeclared nuclear weapons program.
[SPEAKER_07]: And that's why recently there was a letter from congressional Democrats demanding,
[SPEAKER_07]: So the first time answer is about Israel's nuclear weapons program because under U.S. law, USAID Israel is actually illegal because you can't be, you know, arming a country that has nuclear weapons but is in a signature to the non-proliferation treaty.
[SPEAKER_07]: So
[SPEAKER_07]: On top of having undeclared nuclear weapons, it's also genocidal as we just saw in Gaza.
[SPEAKER_07]: And so everything he just accused Iran of, falsely, it is actually what you can say about Israel.
[SPEAKER_15]: Right.
[SPEAKER_15]: But you know, Aaron, I don't know if that's an important point that you just raised about Israel.
[SPEAKER_15]: And I probably shouldn't raise it either, because remember the great,
[SPEAKER_15]: think of, Van Jones, his response to that letter was, why?
[SPEAKER_15]: Why?
[SPEAKER_06]: Why?
[SPEAKER_07]: Why?
[UNKNOWN]: Why?
[SPEAKER_07]: Why?
[SPEAKER_15]: Why?
[SPEAKER_15]: Why.
[SPEAKER_04]: Why.
[SPEAKER_13]: out.
[SPEAKER_13]: I'm the ambassador of the UN.
[SPEAKER_13]: It's not just the United States position.
[SPEAKER_13]: We have had resolution after resolution for nearly 20 years with the entire world agreeing that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon that it has to subject itself to inspections, that it cannot violate its obligations to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and on and on.
[SPEAKER_13]: So it's not just us.
[SPEAKER_07]: If you do another checklist, you had all that when you had the Iran nuclear deal, which you're on, sorry, inspections, Iran having nuclear weapon, Iran respecting the NPT, check, check, check under the JCPO which shrumped and tore up.
[SPEAKER_07]: So another act of projection by Michael.
[SPEAKER_15]: But also, I mean, shout out to Mike Wald for, I think, for the first time in his life, citing the UN.
[SPEAKER_15]: Does the United States government, especially Trump's administration, considered the UN a legitimate source?
[SPEAKER_15]: like this is this is an organization that people like Trump constantly attack as being unfair.
[SPEAKER_15]: And they also ignore the majority.
[SPEAKER_15]: Like the U.S. is vetoed 51 UN resolutions related to Palestine ranging from like the resolution on statehood recognition to cease fire.
[SPEAKER_15]: So halting previous Gaza assaults to condemning illegal settlements.
[SPEAKER_15]: So that's just like a sample of all the ways that they actually don't respect.
[SPEAKER_07]: the majority of UN countries with Mike Waltz talks about the UN approvingly he should have like a disclaimer on the screen like you know asteroids like uh uh UN approval does not apply to any resolution and criticizing Israel or the U.S.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: Floyd, we're going to be dead or whatever.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Floyd, we're prohibiting.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: It's the entire world's position and the entire world stood strong with us when they snapped back the sanctions to frankly punish the regime for its violations of its obligations under nuclear and amplification.
[SPEAKER_13]: But, Mr.
[SPEAKER_18]: Ambassador, it was 50 days ago that President Trump posted a warning to the Iranians saying they had 48 hours to fully open without threat the straight.
[SPEAKER_18]: 50 days ago, nothing happened and the strait is still closed.
[SPEAKER_13]: Well, one more thing I think we should take a step back.
[SPEAKER_13]: Fifty days to deal with a fifty-year-old problem.
[SPEAKER_13]: And by the way, this isn't the first time Iran is either threatened or actually done this.
[SPEAKER_13]: I mean, we have the tanker wars where they struck one of our ships with a mine back in the 80s, and we took out under Reagan.
[SPEAKER_13]: Half of the Iranian Navy, that said that's why we're pushing now.
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, yes, he's uh, you know, issuing his fondness for the good old days back when the regular administration was supporting Saddam Hussein and his attack on Iran and Iran responded with similar closures on the street of Hormuz and the U.S. had to respond then the good old days that the reporting Saddam Hussein is he massacred hundreds of thousands of Iranians.
[SPEAKER_15]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, I mean, there's so much to say we could spend like the entire show on this one clip.
[SPEAKER_15]: But the first of all, the analogy, the tanker war of the 80s actually makes Trump look totally incompetent because
[SPEAKER_15]: So he is a much better time record than Trump does.
[SPEAKER_15]: But again, this idea that this is a war that's been going on for, what is it 50 years?
[SPEAKER_15]: It's a 50-year-old problem.
[SPEAKER_15]: I don't think the straight-of-arm moves was closed for 50 years.
[SPEAKER_15]: It was open for Trump, you know, launched this illegal war.
[SPEAKER_15]: So alongside with Israel.
[SPEAKER_15]: So yeah, it just doesn't, the numbers don't add up.
[SPEAKER_15]: And also again, whether or not that's like he wants to pat on the back for taking more than 50 days to resolve a 50 year old conflict, fine, but like they gave this deadline, right?
[SPEAKER_15]: So like if they if they were giving a deadline, that's on them bad time management.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I feel we'll be seeing a lot of blown deadlines for how much longer is Trump have an office, so some of you leave office voluntarily in a second term, a lot of deadline extensions to come because this administration is incapable of engaging in any act of diplomacy with Iran that they just can't do it.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I think we'll be seeing this rent and repeat for a long time.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Let's hear more from Ambassador Mike Walts.
[SPEAKER_07]: Because last week there was a bit of a flare up between the US and Iran attacking each other's ships, but Trump administration insisting that this was not a violation of the ceasefire.
[SPEAKER_18]: had this week.
[SPEAKER_18]: In addition to the fact, again, that that was 50 days ago he threatened Iran and nothing happened.
[SPEAKER_18]: We've also had now this week an exchange of fire just today, drones going over Kuwait, others over UAE, and you're saying that is not a violation of the ceasefire.
[SPEAKER_18]: How is exchanging live fire with Iran, not a violation of a ceasefire?
[SPEAKER_13]: Well, Martha, I've got to push back something did happen.
[SPEAKER_13]: President Trump put in a blockade with our great U.S. Navy that has stopped Iranian shipping both coming out and importantly, the empty tankers coming in that they need for storage.
[SPEAKER_13]: We see now Iran's economy in absolute freefall.
[SPEAKER_13]: Its currency is down over 100%.
[SPEAKER_13]: Its foreign reserves are completely exhausted.
[SPEAKER_13]: The New York Times ran an article today about mass layoffs.
[SPEAKER_13]: across its manufacturing sector.
[SPEAKER_13]: So the regime is under tremendous.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Man's layoffs.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thank you, President Trump, for causing Maslay off inside of Iran.
[SPEAKER_14]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: Makes everyone feel safe that Iranian still work or doesn't have a job today because of you.
[SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: Again, you can just brag about that on corporate TV and anchors like a good yes, I'm right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_07]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's good to cause ordinary running to lose their jobs.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's a great thing.
[SPEAKER_15]: Right.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, to all the sadists out there watching, you should be very happy.
[SPEAKER_15]: I mean, American American people who are suffering economically or maybe even just don't like seeing a bunch of civilians killed don't worry.
[SPEAKER_15]: Again, you can sleep well at night knowing that there's a lot of suffering going on.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, can you imagine like an Iranian official going on TV and like celebrating the fact that a bunch of people, it's a spirit airlines just lost their jobs because of Trump because Trump raised the price of jet fueled by watching this war on Iran, can you imagine some, like, Iranians don't celebrate America, or something like that.
[SPEAKER_07]: And Iranians are like, if you listen to their officials like the Foreign Minister, or Roger, he's like, hey, Americans, like, this is costing you, like, this is costing your economy, this isn't good, like we don't want war, let's have the right for message.
[SPEAKER_07]: You're losing, this is great.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: But that's like, that's like a, you know, by person, then you can just go on TV and celebrate ordinary workers in a foreign country losing their job because Trump must overthrow their government.
[SPEAKER_15]: Right.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: Also, yeah, it's just the brain hypocrisy.
[SPEAKER_15]: It's just pressure.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, while last week, like, and we covered this on Friday show, like, Peter Hexeth made that video that cartoonist video, like,
[SPEAKER_07]: bragging about how the administration wants $1.5 trillion for the Pentagon and what a great deal that is for American taxpayers that they get to pay even more money to the military and also complex to make bombs to go kill innocent civilians abroad.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm going to talk about the need for regime change, you know.
[SPEAKER_13]: uh... we don't expect a regime that's been an obsessed with a nuclear weapon to just give it up freely it's going to take this type of pressure but the same time to your
[SPEAKER_07]: This is the classic trope of having a crush on someone and being like, they're obsessed with me.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're obsessed with me.
[SPEAKER_07]: When it's like, Iran's obsessed with a nuclear weapon.
[SPEAKER_14]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're obsessed.
[SPEAKER_07]: Even though, they don't have a nuclear weapons program.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: And what do you do?
[SPEAKER_07]: According to US intelligence, like that's the year intelligence consensus, it hasn't changed.
[SPEAKER_07]: Tell us a thing that we had to admit that recently before Congress.
[SPEAKER_07]: They don't have a nuclear weapons program.
[SPEAKER_07]: Europe says, with pretending, you, Mike Walton, your administration,
[SPEAKER_07]: you're obsessed with pretending that everyone has nuclear weapons so you can try to overdo their government and you feel right also like they had remember they had a fatwa against nuclear weapons like how is that uh obsessed yeah there are obsessed with not having nuclear weapons that's where they have a fatwa against it exactly
[SPEAKER_15]: it's like that would be like to continue this analogy.
[SPEAKER_15]: It would like be someone who is like this person sucks.
[SPEAKER_15]: Do not date them and then someone saying this person has a big crush on them.
[SPEAKER_15]: Projection.
[SPEAKER_07]: very very it's like to call Childish is like an insult to children.
[SPEAKER_13]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_13]: It's child abuse even saying that.
[SPEAKER_13]: Point on the ceasefire.
[SPEAKER_13]: Look, that's up to President Trump's commander and chief to determine what constitutes a violation when to go back to military action or when to continue to give diplomacy a chance.
[SPEAKER_13]: And when the mediators, in this case, Pakistan asks us
[SPEAKER_13]: uh... head of state to head of state to give this uh... negotiation another chance before we go back to bombing Iran then i think that's uh... completely uh... appropriate choice for president trump to make he is put what an encouraging message i know with someone else as us like not that we take even take the initiative some of us as is hey can you not uh... bomb Iran right now we say yeah we'll we'll give it a chance before we go back to bombing Iran like
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, exactly, they're like, we're trying this whole thing called diplomacy.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: We'll let you know how it turns out.
[SPEAKER_07]: These Pakistani guys call this like, hey, can you give this thing called diplomacy Chants or what?
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, you know, we'll engage with it before we go back to bombing a ride.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: And they're just, obviously, they're not fans of diplomacy.
[SPEAKER_15]: They're just trying to scramble to figure out how to not like lose this thing.
[SPEAKER_15]: But I like it.
[SPEAKER_15]: They should present that they're like major piece nicks and like, I think, you know, next interview, he does.
[SPEAKER_15]: He should just sit his response to be like, um, all we are saying is give piece of chance.
[SPEAKER_15]: He could show up in like a tie die shirt, really embraced the like piece, um, number 68 aesthetic.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, in the Craven, he is, uh,
[SPEAKER_07]: retired Navy Admiral former commander of J. Sock joined special operations command.
[SPEAKER_07]: And he's actually kind of a piece Nick at least compared to the Trump administration.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: This what he says about this whole Iran regime changing.
[SPEAKER_18]: want to talk about that they say there is no that the ceasefire has not been violated.
[SPEAKER_18]: As you look at what I see laughing already as as you look at this situation and again this morning we've had drones launch from Iran.
[SPEAKER_18]: Has the ceasefire been violated?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, of course the ceasefire has been violated, Martha, any time you have rounds being exchanged and that's a violation of the ceasefire.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I understand Ambassador Waltz's position.
[SPEAKER_00]: At the end of the day, this is about hopefully getting the Iranians to agree to the proposal and therefore, you know, we want to downplay these exchange of fire, but I mean, in technical terms, of course, the ceasefire has been
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I've been put aside the fact that matter is when you're shooting at each other, then you're no longer having a ceasefire.
[SPEAKER_15]: And how do you think that this is great high level military analysis that that you can't find anywhere else except from military experts.
[SPEAKER_15]: When you're shooting at each other, that is a violation of ceasefire.
[SPEAKER_15]: You can't have those two things at the same time.
[SPEAKER_15]: So that is why you turn into corporate news.
[SPEAKER_15]: The hero voice is like these.
[SPEAKER_07]: 100%, I never would have known that, and that's been Sunday watching all these shows, it's like, you know.
[SPEAKER_07]: It makes all these hours of listening to these mindless people, Jordan, and you weren't there, because you get to learn things like, if people are firing in each other, it's not a ceasefire.
[SPEAKER_07]: So thank you for that.
[SPEAKER_18]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_18]: I read the Iranians are taking this.
[SPEAKER_18]: When they see what's happened, and okay, we can keep firing these things.
[SPEAKER_18]: It appears that they are keeping on that.
[SPEAKER_15]: It's so funny, this is again, like you'll see this theme of the adversarial media, which is not adversarial, but they have like a loophole, and which is that, okay, we will be adversarial when we can encourage more belligerent behavior.
[SPEAKER_15]: right?
[SPEAKER_15]: Like they call out the government for not holding their enemies feet to the fire.
[SPEAKER_15]: Like what you said you would do this, you said they would you would bomb them or why didn't you regime change them harder?
[SPEAKER_15]: You know, like a Marka Brennan's favorite refrain.
[SPEAKER_15]: So it's nice to see that that's the direction that their challenging questions always go on too.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, of course, you know, this is, we're in an interesting point right now, we're at this in-pass, and if I were advising the President, I would tell him to look towards your strategic goals.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, at the end of the day, he wants to get the straight open back up.
[SPEAKER_00]: He wants to have some sort of agreement on the nuclear enrichment of the uranium.
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you want to do that, you're going to have to get the Iranians to the negotiating table.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he has one ability, his real one leverage point is this block eight and the block aid has been working.
[SPEAKER_00]: So if I were the president, I would go to the Iranians and say, look, I will lift the block aid if you will open the streets and come to the negotiating table.
[SPEAKER_00]: By doing that one, he can always put the block aid back in place.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is something with a flip of a switch.
[SPEAKER_00]: He can put the block aid back in place if the Iranians don't come to the negotiating table or if they don't open the streets.
[SPEAKER_15]: I mean, maybe just maybe if I were advising Trump and I don't have the military expertise that is on display when you say things like a ceasefire, violated when people are governments are shooting each other, but maybe you could tell Trump.
[SPEAKER_15]: a better way if you want to get the Iranians to come back to the table would be stopping the sabotage of negotiations every time they take place either through lying and rhetoric or actual bombing campaigns.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, a few weeks ago, they actually reached a understanding that the strike would be reopened, and the blockade will be lifted.
[SPEAKER_07]: Trap announced it, but then Trap immediately back trope and said, actually, no, the blockade is, is staying put.
[SPEAKER_07]: So actually, like they had that deal.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I also, I love how the Admiral says it, it'd be so easy just to reimpose the blockade.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, except the fact that like, I don't know, it requires deploying tens of thousands of U.S. military personnel and all these military assets and they have to like wait around and then their task is to choke off Iran's economy and therefore the global economy and everyone has to suffer as a result including higher gas prices and people at spirit airlines losing their jobs because of the rise in jet fill like that whole park.
[SPEAKER_07]: But yeah, he's like, yeah, it'd be really easy just to
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, well, let's turn to another Trump administration principle.
[SPEAKER_07]: We heard earlier from UN ambassador Michael, let's turn to energy secretary Chris Wright, you know, the guy was supposed to be responsible for energy.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I assume it's part of your portfolio.
[SPEAKER_07]: You want to care about like,
[SPEAKER_07]: energy being affordable and accessible to the global economy.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, not Chris right because he also is engaged in the fan fiction of a certain that Trump is trying to stop a new co-weapons program that Iran in real life does not actually have.
[SPEAKER_16]: Just to clarify in terms of the Strait of Formus, what is the administration's top priority dealing with Iran's nuclear program or reopening the Strait of Formus?
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, the top priority is ending Iran's nuclear program.
[SPEAKER_11]: The world simply cannot have a nuclear armed Iran.
[SPEAKER_11]: They've got nearly 1,000 pounds of 60 percent.
[SPEAKER_15]: And, and reminder, they did not have a nuclear armed Iran with the agreement that was turned up by who was it again, Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_14]: It's a little, just for our history.
[SPEAKER_11]: In Rich, Uranium, you know, this is close to weapons grade Uranium.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's no commercial or peaceful use of nuclear weapons.
[SPEAKER_11]: They always lie and say they're doing this for their nuclear power industry, just total nonsense.
[SPEAKER_07]: No.
[SPEAKER_07]: The reason they have that 60% in Rich, Uranium is because Katie just said Trump tore up the Iran nuclear deal and therefore violated
[SPEAKER_07]: U.S. obligations under the DO, which was to offer on sanctions relief.
[SPEAKER_07]: So
[SPEAKER_07]: Iran said, the more you impose sanctions on us, we're gonna enrich more uranium to get us leverage free to lift the sanctions.
[SPEAKER_07]: This was Iran's tactic that like, if you're gonna put sanctions back on us, then we're gonna enrich at a higher level to give us leverage to then make a new deal that you'll actually respect.
[SPEAKER_07]: That was Iran's strategy.
[SPEAKER_07]: And you can criticize that strategy if you want to, but they weren't trying to go towards a nuclear weapon.
[SPEAKER_07]: They weren't trying to show that if you're gonna violate the deal, then so can we,
[SPEAKER_07]: and we can enrich out at a higher level because you're in violation of your obligations.
[SPEAKER_07]: So, it's just completely erased and then of course, he's not going to get corrected on that by the host because you aren't allowed to challenge the notion that Iran wants to nuclear weapon even though, as we keep saying every single week on the show, there's the far-to-a and U.S. intelligence asserts there's not an actual nuclear weapons program.
[SPEAKER_15]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: And also, if you're Iran by the way, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: And you try to plomacy
[SPEAKER_07]: You say, we do not want to have New Corbin's program and you sign on the dotted line.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like, literally, the first sentence with the preamble of the JCPOA, the Iran nuclear deal, is it says something like, Iran asserts, it does not want and will never have a new Corbin's program.
[SPEAKER_07]: So Iran signed this on the dotted line.
[SPEAKER_07]: So when you do that, but yet,
[SPEAKER_07]: you have a U.S. administration that goes and terries up the deal and reinforces sanctions designed to cripple your economy over their government.
[SPEAKER_07]: Then yeah, make sense you're going to want to have leverage and also especially when you're constantly threatened with regime change by Israel.
[SPEAKER_07]: Then yeah, it makes sense to have maybe
[SPEAKER_07]: enough in maturing him that if you get attacked, including with nuclear weapons, you have something you can turn to to prevent yourself from going completely extinct.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, there's a logic to it.
[SPEAKER_07]: And you can cripple with, you know, what should Iran have done, but the fundamental problem is the fact that they're dealing with two states that won't accept diplomacy no matter what Iran does and are openly committed to Iran's destruction.
[SPEAKER_15]: and happen to have nuclear weapons.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, they do.
[SPEAKER_15]: I mean, that's a born in the biggest ironies.
[SPEAKER_15]: And that is the elephant in the room is that while the United States openly has nuclear weapons, that the elephant in the room is that it's real to nuclear armed country.
[SPEAKER_15]: And I don't really expect the press to ever mention that stuff.
[SPEAKER_15]: But they do have this rare opportunity because, as you mentioned earlier, Aaron, the Congress members of Congress have sent this letter to the Trump administration asking about Israel's nuclear weapons.
[SPEAKER_15]: And, you know, that is something that Welker could easily have brought up, right, without being like, uh, usually the its level, uh, adversarial, just news where they just
[SPEAKER_11]: They have been, you know, in a dash, to build a bomb, and they have enriched material, almost fully enriched to make 10 nuclear bombs.
[SPEAKER_11]: We cannot have that for the world.
[SPEAKER_11]: We cannot have that in the Middle East.
[SPEAKER_11]: We cannot have that in the United States of America.
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh, wait, we can't have that in the United States of America as he's saying that the United States can't have nuclear weapons amen to that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Or Israel, because you also said the Middle East.
[SPEAKER_07]: And again, that's a perfect opportunity for Christo Molkini, like,
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, you think it's not true, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: Like, there's been no dash for a nuclear bomb.
[SPEAKER_07]: You have some comments and says the exact opposite.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_07]: To the extent U.S. intelligence talks about like an Iranian threat, they always say that like Iran is building up its conventional military forces to deter U.S. and Israeli threats.
[SPEAKER_07]: So even U.S. intelligence recognizes that Iran's doctrine is defensive and somehow all that gets just white-washed and ignored memory-hold and Chris Wright can say things that are just completely false without being corrected.
[SPEAKER_07]: uh because there's the issue still of record gas prices.
[SPEAKER_07]: So what are you doing about that?
[SPEAKER_15]: Don't worry guys, they totally are feeling the pain of the American people as you're going to say.
[SPEAKER_16]: So you're saying that ultimately gas prices will start to come down once the straight is reopened.
[SPEAKER_16]: Here's what analysts are saying about how high gas prices could ultimately go.
[SPEAKER_16]: US gasoline prices have a legitimate chance of rising to $5 a gallon as refiners prioritize jet fuel production.
[SPEAKER_16]: at the expense of other products, according to analysts at JPMorgan Chase, should Americans be prepared for the possibility of paying $5 a gallon for gas?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, and they might be prioritizing Jeffville because more airlines are at risk of going bankrupt because of Trump's policies of raising gas prices to regime change.
[SPEAKER_07]: And they want to avoid a repeat of spirit airlines which has to shut down because of this.
[SPEAKER_07]: So that's the genius Trump administration.
[SPEAKER_07]: to jet fuel and the airline industry and consumers everywhere have to pay higher prices as a result.
[SPEAKER_15]: Right.
[SPEAKER_15]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: Again, I can't.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: No, keep going.
[SPEAKER_11]: I can't predict the price of energy in the short term or even the medium term.
[SPEAKER_11]: But what we're doing is ending a 47-year conflict.
[SPEAKER_11]: A ran his fought death to the United States for 47 years.
[SPEAKER_11]: Death is real.
[SPEAKER_11]: And as we saw when the conflict broke out, they attacked all of their neighbors in the Middle East that had no involvement in the conflict whatsoever.
[SPEAKER_11]: If you have a high
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh my god, did you know that Aaron, do you know that they randomly attack their neighbors in the Middle East who had nothing to do with this?
[SPEAKER_15]: Because they are so, uh, trigger happy, um, missile happy.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: I guess the fact that all these, uh, neighbors happen to have US military bases used to attack Iran, the message has been a coincidence.
[SPEAKER_15]: You know, and that is why we welcome the administration to watch this show useful idiots because if they watch this show, they would they would know that and the media actually, you know, we really invite meet the press, welcome if you want to come on the show or we can have a behind the scenes chat off the record, because I think you you would learn a lot from us like the fact that,
[SPEAKER_15]: Iran was attacking places that were hosting US bases from which the US could then launch this genocidal war.
[SPEAKER_07]: And to say you're ending a 47 year conflict by starting a war of regime change that's killed a bunch of people.
[SPEAKER_07]: And again,
[SPEAKER_07]: has Iran ever attacked the U.S. Iran can't even hit the U.S. with its missiles deliberately they keep them to a shorter range because they want to avoid conflict.
[SPEAKER_07]: And these 47 years while Iran has never attacked the U.S.
[SPEAKER_07]: Again, as we've mentioned a lot, the U.S. supported us and I'm who's saying as he killed, hundreds of thousands of people in Iran use chemical weapons.
[SPEAKER_07]: The U.S. shot down an Iranian civilian jetliner, the U.S. imposed sanctions that have caused a lot of suffering inside of Iran.
[SPEAKER_07]: And yet somehow he claims that by starting a war were ending the conflict.
[SPEAKER_07]: The way to end the conflict would simply just be stop being aggressive towards Iran.
[SPEAKER_07]: And respect the JCPOA, which was signed in 2015.
[SPEAKER_07]: and moved to other agreements on top of that one.
[SPEAKER_07]: Why not?
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_15]: I mean, you know, this whole war being how old they say it's 50 years old.
[SPEAKER_15]: This war, why not 70 plus years old, which is, you know, dating back to one the United States over through most edict.
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_15]: The Democratic elected leader of Iran.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_06]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: Still unstable power like that.
[SPEAKER_11]: You simply cannot allow them to have nuclear weapons.
[SPEAKER_11]: That was a consensus opinion.
[SPEAKER_11]: All my adult life.
[SPEAKER_11]: I've shot to see Democrats come out of the woodwork now.
[SPEAKER_11]: Somehow, not worried about Iran getting nuclear weapons.
[SPEAKER_16]: I know you're saying you can't predict how high gas prices will go.
[SPEAKER_07]: But I mean, he's right that there has been a strong bipartisan
[SPEAKER_07]: support for regime change in Congress against Iran and Clinton under pressure from the Israel lobby.
[SPEAKER_07]: In fact, Israel lobby basically helped write the legislation and pose really harsh sanctions on Iran.
[SPEAKER_07]: But the party's forgetting is that Obama broke from the mold and try to reach an agreement which was working which he then broke.
[SPEAKER_15]: Which other country sign on to?
[SPEAKER_07]: Everybody did.
[SPEAKER_16]: I don't hear you ruling out the possibility that they could in fact go to $5 a gallon.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, just avoiding.
[SPEAKER_15]: And by the way, in California, it's already at $6.
[SPEAKER_15]: Just head up.
[SPEAKER_16]: It could in fact go to $5 a gallon.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, just avoiding price predictions.
[SPEAKER_11]: But I will say United States is in a tremendous...
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, you are avoiding price predictions because you know that your policies are raising prices.
[SPEAKER_07]: So, of course, you want to avoid price predictions.
[SPEAKER_15]: He's like, I'm just avoiding answers that'll make me look bad.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, I'm just avoiding acknowledging the consequences of my actions.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_07]: So Marana State from a Trump official.
[SPEAKER_07]: OK, let's, I think, one more from Twitter.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, that more, how can something so wrong?
[SPEAKER_15]: It's all right.
[SPEAKER_16]: So Chris, right.
[SPEAKER_16]: The Strait of Formos, before the war more than 100 ships translated the Strait every single day, this week, just seven ships translated the Strait of Formos.
[SPEAKER_16]: Who is the control of the Strait of Formos?
[SPEAKER_16]: Right now, Mr. Secretary.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, the United States has a blockade.
[SPEAKER_11]: We are not allowing any ships to come out from Iranian ports or to go into Iranian ports.
[SPEAKER_11]: Iran, after decades of spending, a large percent of their entire economy, building a giant weapons arsenal, all the shield their nuclear program.
[SPEAKER_11]: So ultimately, they would be untouchable.
[SPEAKER_11]: They have an ability to cause trouble in the straight support moves and they are doing it.
[SPEAKER_11]: So is the U.S. in control of the straight of our moves?
[SPEAKER_11]: We are today.
[SPEAKER_11]: We are controlling no flow of Iranian ships.
[SPEAKER_11]: We have escorted out several American ships.
[SPEAKER_11]: And if need be, if we don't get to a deal with Iran, we will use military force to open the straight to everyone.
[SPEAKER_11]: Today traffic through this trade, some who are loses challenged.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, no, but you won't use military force because you can't.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: This has already been a work aimed.
[SPEAKER_07]: It can't work, you've lost the sort of harm moves that they have to up.
[SPEAKER_07]: And so this is all just a stalling tactic to delay that because, you know, Iran, through its just the fact that it exists there as a country, it has significant control of that strength and there's nothing the US can do about it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Otherwise, he would have tried it by now, I think, but they can't.
[SPEAKER_15]: Right, and this is like example 7,084 of how the media never says, well, it's actually not closed to everyone right now, that's right.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's, it's, it was only closing it to countries that are deemed to be complicit in attacking it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: China, for example, is allowed to have ships come to the straight because China is a partner of everyone.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_16]: Why didn't the U.S. secure the straight-of-cormous when the war first began in February?
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, the answer is because they can't.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like they can't.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's the point.
[SPEAKER_07]: They grossly was calculated as happens sometimes when you're an aggressor as you, you know, and you're a hedge-a-mon as you overestimate your own capabilities and they just didn't think that this would even be a situation because I thought that the regime changed effort would succeed,
[SPEAKER_07]: but they also can't use military force to secure the State of Formals because it derrons passageway.
[SPEAKER_07]: And they control it.
[SPEAKER_07]: There's nothing the U.S. can do about it.
[SPEAKER_15]: Right, and also, again, it's so funny the premise of this as if it's like up to or should be up to the United States to take this, this take the straight.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: Like it is made up of the territory of waters of Imman and Iran, not the U.S.
[SPEAKER_15]: Again, welcome or come on the show or again, off the record discussion, we'll explain this to you.
[SPEAKER_07]: It would be a very awkward discussion.
[SPEAKER_07]: But hey, like you don't have to let people lie to you constantly on your show.
[SPEAKER_07]: You can correct them with basic facts that would be awkward.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, let's hear from another Trump guy.
[SPEAKER_07]: We haven't heard from him in a long time.
[SPEAKER_07]: So his booming voice is always welcome here because it's pretty entertaining.
[SPEAKER_07]: Sebastian Gorka is a deputy assistant to Trump and here's his take on how things are going with Iran.
[SPEAKER_20]: We did hear a much shorter time frame at the beginning of this, right?
[SPEAKER_20]: Was this an optimistic take or how do we reconcile the original timeline with what we're dealing with now?
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, look, there is the Aintradaphyrism, every plan lost until a first contact with the enemy.
[SPEAKER_08]: But there is a very simple answer to your question.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, it's so hard for me not to think of... James Adominio.
[SPEAKER_07]: James Adominio.
[SPEAKER_07]: Former East Florida guest, really funny comedian.
[SPEAKER_07]: He does incredible impression of Sebastian Gorko.
[SPEAKER_07]: Once you hear it, it's just, it's impossible.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Not to think of it when Sebastian is actually talking.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, I mean, James, if you're watching, I would definitely take advantage of this moment.
[SPEAKER_15]: There's so much good fodder.
[SPEAKER_15]: In fact, I told James the other day, I said, Corka sounds more like you or impersonation of him than he does like himself.
[SPEAKER_07]: Do you want to what Dr. Gorka said just last week in response to a question, a critical question that basically, hey, has your warning run created new threats to the U.S., this is a direct quote, it was reported by John Hudson or the Washington Post, Gorka said, you are testicularly challenged.
[SPEAKER_15]: If you don't support this war, that's a low to the approach.
[SPEAKER_15]: That's his response to, I mean, what could be more overt projection and insecurity than, if that's the first thing that comes to your mind, the fact that you're constantly thinking, I mean, you're obviously thinking about your own testicular capabilities.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I can't wait to see James Adomian do that one.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, seriously.
[SPEAKER_08]: We've just been too effective along with our colleagues in Jerusalem that have affected numerous personas strikes.
[SPEAKER_08]: We have absolutely destroyed the leadership, the traditional leadership.
[SPEAKER_08]: Take this one metric, Chris.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're too effective.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're too good at our jobs for two homicidal.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, there's too much success.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: We know what you do with ourselves because we're just so good at what we do.
[SPEAKER_15]: At killing.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: I mean, reminds me of what like Trump said, remember, he was basically saying, like, yeah, all the guys that we wanted to replace how many are we killed them.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, he's kind of doing the thing that like you do it like a job interview when you want to project like fake modesty that when somebody's like, you know, like, what's your biggest weakness?
[SPEAKER_07]: And it's like, I'm too attentive to detail.
[SPEAKER_15]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: I work too hard.
[SPEAKER_15]: That works too hard for me to separate that work life balance.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: I'm going to work a hollow.
[SPEAKER_05]: We're too affected.
[SPEAKER_15]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: We're too particular.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: We're too to particularly in doubt.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: We have too much testosterone.
[SPEAKER_05]: We have too much tea.
[SPEAKER_15]: We are such a high TG, high high, high high testosterone government.
[SPEAKER_15]: We have HTG syndrome.
[SPEAKER_07]: He literally would say that if actually if he was in a job interview and they're like, so look what your biggest flies.
[SPEAKER_07]: I have too much tea.
[SPEAKER_15]: Right.
[SPEAKER_15]: My huge testicle.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_15]: I'm being honest.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_15]: If I'm more, don't we have some more from them or Dr. Worker?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Really.
[SPEAKER_08]: Great.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: What is this faunted new eye atola?
[SPEAKER_08]: Where is Mochiba?
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, really is he in charge?
[SPEAKER_08]: How can we have in scene hide no hair of him?
[SPEAKER_08]: Not one still photograph, let alone a video statement.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is a regime in ultimate collapse at the top.
[SPEAKER_08]: As a result, it makes communicating and getting that final deal that acquiescence that surrender a little bit more complicated, but let rest assured, it is coming imminently.
[SPEAKER_08]: All right, Sebastian Gorker,
[SPEAKER_12]: That is just a new line.
[SPEAKER_07]: And it, yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: So this is a new line that like the running leadership is in such disarray that they can't communicate with each other.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's what they want us to believe.
[SPEAKER_07]: And that's why even though they've actually returned to the US with multiple proposals, including one over the weekend.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I don't know whoever is relaying the proposals has not a hard time communicating.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I've heard Professor Morandi.
[SPEAKER_07]: who I know you've interviewed a lot recently, Katie, professor, my mom around the entire run.
[SPEAKER_07]: He was actually with the Iranian delegation in Pakistan.
[SPEAKER_07]: And he says, according to him, that like the delegation in Pakistan led by the Foreign Minister, Arachie, it's so much autonomy that they didn't even call back home to Iran.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: We need to communicate because they were delegated.
[SPEAKER_15]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: A lot of authority to reach a deal.
[SPEAKER_07]: And that's why they brought like teams of professional people, which we have to do if you're serious about diplomacy, whereas the US just brought Israel, Israeli assets, Jared Kushner, Steve Wickoff, and J.D.
[SPEAKER_07]: Vance.
[SPEAKER_15]: Right.
[SPEAKER_15]: And they were constantly calling V.B.
[SPEAKER_07]: They were constantly calling Netanyahu to check in on their boss and also Trump.
[SPEAKER_07]: And they're in disarray.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, I'll just talk about it.
[SPEAKER_07]: We're on being disarray.
[SPEAKER_07]: It strikes me as projection because, you know, you do have
[SPEAKER_07]: people inside the White House were not in the same page and can't stick to a message.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, let's turn to Congressman Edward Tedloo because Trump has a visit to China supposedly coming up unless he cancels it, which is always a prospect.
[SPEAKER_19]: And here's Tedloo.
[SPEAKER_12]: Let me ask you about your position on the Foreign Affairs Committee.
[SPEAKER_12]: Secretary Rubio said Taiwan will likely be discussed during President Trump's visit to China this week to meet with Xi Jinping.
[SPEAKER_12]: This is a hugely consequential summit on Friday, Taiwan's Parliament proved $25 billion in funds to buy more American weapons.
[SPEAKER_12]: Are you largely supportive at this point of the Trump administration's willingness to strengthen Taiwan's defense?
[SPEAKER_19]: both Democratic and Republican administrations have had the exact same policy, which is to preserve the current status quo, and we're trying to keep China from doing anything stupid and an opacific, including a military conflict.
[SPEAKER_19]: And I just want to emphasize that the Iran war
[SPEAKER_19]: has shown that we need a brand new strategy in the Indo-Pacific, because in any prolonged conflict with China or Russia, the U.S. will run out of defensive munitions.
[SPEAKER_19]: We already started running out of defensive munitions in a war that lasts a less than 60 days, and even against a second rate military like Iran, they struck multiple U.S. bases.
[SPEAKER_19]: So in any overseas conflict,
[SPEAKER_19]: or overseas bases will be obliterated by Russia and China.
[SPEAKER_19]: We need a new defense strategy and I call on the Pentagon to deliver that to Congress.
[SPEAKER_07]: How about that defense strategy?
[SPEAKER_07]: Be don't start illegal wars of aggression.
[SPEAKER_07]: Can that be just the thing?
[SPEAKER_07]: And then we don't have to have missile defenses and all these things run out because we won't be engaged in conflicts that we start for no reason.
[SPEAKER_15]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_15]: How about that being the new defense strategy?
[SPEAKER_15]: Right.
[SPEAKER_15]: And also, you know, it's fascinating.
[SPEAKER_15]: So they found that the democracy, perception index by the Alliance of Democracy Foundation found that the vast majority of people around the world are opposed to United States having military bases in their country.
[SPEAKER_15]: In 86 out of 97 countries, more people saying no to US bases than yes.
[SPEAKER_15]: The places that wanted are only four
[SPEAKER_15]: And Taiwan was one of the five countries where support for higher defense spending decreased most.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, that's a little awkward because like if you listen to the rationale for having all these military bases, these US military bases around the world, it's always we have to defend democracies.
[SPEAKER_07]: So if you pay attention to polls, which don't want the bases, they have to say we have to ignore democracy in order to defend it.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: that's a little awkward.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm sure we'll find a way to make a work.
[SPEAKER_15]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_15]: The square that's circle.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, sticking on the issue of Trump's visit to China, let's turn to Senator Bernie Moreno.
[SPEAKER_07]: And then afterwards, we're going to hear from fan favorite Cory Booker coming up.
[SPEAKER_07]: But Senator Moreno has a ahead of Trump visiting China where, you know, the goals to have family ties and good relations maybe make some deals.
[SPEAKER_07]: Senator Moreno has a different
[SPEAKER_07]: idea.
[SPEAKER_07]: He wants to ban electric vehicles made in China, and this is why.
[SPEAKER_03]: So you can imagine somebody working at Air Force Base, they drive in, these things are surveilling, the Air Force Base, they also know who's driving a vehicle, they're habits, where they go, where they come from, and all that, as we just said, goes back to the Communist Party.
[SPEAKER_03]: We would never allow Americans to purchase surveillance devices for the Communist Party of China, and that's exactly what these automobiles are.
[SPEAKER_03]: So our bill insists that that not happen.
[SPEAKER_03]: And again, the economic threat to Maria, these cars are about 20 to 30 percent cheaper than most cars because they're massively subsidized.
[SPEAKER_03]: These are basically little trojan horses that they're throwing all over the globe.
[SPEAKER_17]: So if we were to have a con...
[SPEAKER_07]: So a Chinese car is a Trojan horse to spy on Americans.
[SPEAKER_07]: And also, we have to ban it also because it's cheaper.
[SPEAKER_07]: And he's saying that it's expensive, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: But I think that just means it's more efficient to be made.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: Also, you know, if we want to fight China, like these people are obsessed with, a good way to be like competitive with them could be maybe if our government subsidized electric vehicles.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, it haven't no, definitely not.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, and trouble at the brag about how he's doing the opposite, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, those, those, those low T Democrats, rubber electric vehicles, and so therefore, they have to be canceled, just adopting, and Sebastian Gork is formulation.
[SPEAKER_07]: But again, occasion not convinced that Chinese vehicles are a national security threat, here's more from the Senator.
[SPEAKER_17]: conflict with China at any point, are you saying that the Chinese Communist Party can control those cars and have them go crashing into things all day long if we're in a conflict?
[SPEAKER_17]: I mean, what do you mean in terms of the CCP controlling those cars?
[SPEAKER_07]: So basically, it's like virtual go-kart where 90s Communist Party, if they're headquarters in Beijing, they're all at terminals, they're all consoles, like playing video games, and they're all manning a different Chinese-made electric vehicle to like crash into random places in the US.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Jesus Christ.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's the scenario they want to believe.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, these are connected vehicles.
[SPEAKER_03]: So they could actually take over the driving of the vehicle, lock the doors, roll up the windows, and crash the vehicle into sensitive sites.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the technology that exists in these Chinese cars.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're just not going to let that into our market, Maria.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I look at our European allies.
[SPEAKER_03]: I look at Canada and Mexico.
[SPEAKER_03]: The fact that they've not only allowed them, but they're growing dramatically in Europe.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's almost 20% of their market now is Chinese.
[SPEAKER_07]: This was a horrible time for me to get this news.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm actually in Canada right now.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah, I just covered it.
[SPEAKER_07]: And so I'm at risk, everybody.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm scared from my life.
[SPEAKER_07]: A Chinese vehicle might, you know, might kill me because the the Chinese kind of spark is going to take control of that and smash into me.
[SPEAKER_07]: So listen, if this is my last time on the surface, I want to say, you know, it's been a good run.
[SPEAKER_07]: And if that's how I have to go, it's been killed by a remotely controlled Chinese vehicle.
[SPEAKER_07]: And you know, it's so be it.
[SPEAKER_15]: I mean, Aaron, I'm just saying I would just bicycle around right now for your safety.
[SPEAKER_15]: Please for the safety, for the sake of useful idiots and our audience, please walk or take a bicycle or like a scooter.
[SPEAKER_07]: But people are going to believe this and like they're going to start like, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_07]: But like, you know, if they see a Chinese made a good color, they're like freaking out and are having protests outside of like Chinese car dealerships, like.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is insane stuff.
[SPEAKER_07]: Again, I'm not a vehicle on vehicles on remote technology, but I just have a hard time believing that the Chinese Congress parties are going to go through the trouble to take remote control of vehicles, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: World of Canada, Europe, and the U.S. Increasing the Olympics.
[SPEAKER_15]: I know.
[SPEAKER_15]: I mean, I can't believe it hasn't happened yet.
[SPEAKER_15]: Given how prolific their cars are.
[SPEAKER_07]: But what I'm hearing here is that every time China makes a product that out capits the US or threatened the US in some way, the US claims it's a security threat and therefore has to be banned.
[SPEAKER_07]: Say they have a TikTok, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: Because the youth were seeing images of the genocide and Gaza on TikTok and like hearing criticism of US foreign policy.
[SPEAKER_07]: Both parties united to basically force TikTok to be sold to Zionist investors and, you know, not to a Chinese company.
[SPEAKER_07]: And they're doing the same thing here with vehicles.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm sure they'll repeat that playbook over and over and over.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, and just to summarize, as much as I love the fantasy or warning that China is going to remote control crash our cars, Marino is trying to stop the US citizens, trying to stop the US citizens from getting cheaper and cleaner electric vehicles.
[SPEAKER_15]: While simultaneously, not subsidizing electric vehicles for us, U.S. citizen.
[SPEAKER_15]: So locking out many people from the chance of electrifying their driving habit.
[SPEAKER_15]: So and they've cut subsidies to make it cheaper for U.S. to even buy U.S. made electric vehicles, right?
[SPEAKER_15]: Because a Biden had that $7,500 tax credit for purchasing an electric vehicle.
[SPEAKER_15]: It's just insane.
[SPEAKER_07]: All well denying Chinese Communist Party officials the opportunity to remotely control.
[SPEAKER_07]: of vehicle, you know, just everybody loses here.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, everybody loses.
[SPEAKER_15]: It's funny.
[SPEAKER_15]: I wonder if he, this guy feels bad that his name is like, that he's a senator and with the first name Bernie and also Moreno, Moreno is like, Morena is the Mexican leftist party.
[SPEAKER_15]: He's so right wing and yet his name suggests both Bernie and Claudia Shimbound.
[SPEAKER_07]: I shame to all lefty's name Bernie everywhere.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, yes, yes, yes.
[SPEAKER_15]: And next in numbers of Morena, yes, yes, yes, yes.
[SPEAKER_07]: OK, let's turn to Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey, you know, Democrat Party, which Booker is a part of is undergoing a shift, you know, polls show, hey, voters,
[SPEAKER_07]: who support Democrats don't support Israel, because Israel is a genocidal apartheid state.
[SPEAKER_07]: What a Senator Cory Booker who's taken a lot of money from A-PAC and loves to plant his support for Israel.
[SPEAKER_07]: What does he have to say about that?
[SPEAKER_16]: To approve arms sales for Israel in a future in Tanglement if you thought that was necessary.
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, we have a longstanding commitment to Israel having a qualitative military edge.
[SPEAKER_02]: I will continue to support that.
[SPEAKER_15]: So basically, yeah, I am going to be supporting voting for Israel's weapons.
[SPEAKER_15]: I would like to send them more weapons so they can do things like for instance what do they do this weekend.
[SPEAKER_15]: They just killed 51 people in Lebanon on Saturday alone.
[SPEAKER_15]: So that's the military edge.
[SPEAKER_15]: He would like them to have.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, and good luck with that quail booker.
[SPEAKER_07]: If you want to run for president one day, it's just not going to be a tentable position.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't think inside your own party.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Because people have seen enough.
[SPEAKER_07]: So when you commit a genocide for more than two years and you just slaughter tens of thousands of people in a concentration camp and you expand your aggression to Lebanon and Iran.
[SPEAKER_07]: And your widely seen as being like,
[SPEAKER_07]: not only genocidal, but like the cause of economic problems at home, because you in, you know, helping tangled the U.S. and so many foreign wars.
[SPEAKER_07]: So, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_07]: Politically, I don't understand why people like Cori-Bucker, we continue to stick this position, but I guess that's what a pack can do for you.
[SPEAKER_15]: Right.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: You know, I wonder, remember Cori-Bucker had this imaginary friend, T-Bone?
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't remember that.
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: Well, he had a really wonderful friend, T-bone, that he would always talk about when talking about his leadership in Newark.
[SPEAKER_15]: There were, he would definitely imagine that in front, he told the story a million times and it wasn't actually true, but I think he should just cite T-bone, the wisdom of T-bone if he gets any pushback on this.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, let's turn now finally to my gosh to Corey to Corey bookers.
[SPEAKER_15]: Inspiration.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_15]: The man who Corey bookers wants to continue giving a military edge to.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_07]: And we'll listen to this person for as much as we can, although just a trader warning.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's very unpleasant.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: But you know, he is unfortunately the guy that people like
[SPEAKER_07]: love to arm and help support as he commits mass murder.
[SPEAKER_07]: And that's Benjamin Netanyahu.
[SPEAKER_07]: And he went on 60 minutes, which really should be called 60 minutes of his really state television, because that's what CBS News, which produces 60 minutes has become under the leadership of Barry Weiss and the Allison's.
[SPEAKER_07]: And you know, to the point where Barry Weiss and Netanyahu
[SPEAKER_07]: because they're such good buddies and very wise as a self-described Zionist fanatics.
[SPEAKER_07]: So of course, they're going to give a friendly interview to Benjamin Netanyahu.
[SPEAKER_07]: And he went on 60 minutes and talked about a lot of things.
[SPEAKER_07]: Here he is about what he sees coming ahead in the war on Iran.
[SPEAKER_09]: Or what's the wrong over?
[SPEAKER_09]: And if it isn't, who will decide when it is?
[SPEAKER_10]: I think it accomplished a great deal, but it's not over because there's still nuclear material in which uranium that has to be taken out of Iran.
[SPEAKER_10]: There is still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled.
[SPEAKER_10]: There are still proxies that Iran supports their ballistic missiles that they still want to produce.
[SPEAKER_10]: Now, we've degraded a lot of it.
[SPEAKER_10]: but all of that is still there.
[SPEAKER_10]: And there's work to be done.
[SPEAKER_10]: How do you envision?
[SPEAKER_07]: There's work to be done by US soldiers who will fight the war on my behalf.
[SPEAKER_07]: So yeah, sorry guys, you've received your work orders from your leader, your co-president Benjamin Netanyahu because we're called that in that recentary times article about how Trump went to war.
[SPEAKER_07]: Nenyao comes to the White House situation in Roman February.
[SPEAKER_07]: And him and Trump sat as kind of co-equals of the head of the table giving a briefing about why it's such a good thing to go to war.
[SPEAKER_07]: So he's saying the co-president is saying there's more work to be done.
[SPEAKER_07]: the enrichment, the enriched uranium has to be seized and Iran still has ballistic missiles.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, they have a lot of them actually.
[SPEAKER_07]: In fact, last week the Washington Post came out with a story, the contrary to U.S. claims, Iran's retained the bulk of its military capacity.
[SPEAKER_07]: So Netanyahu was saying that because of that, this war is not over.
[SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Jim, the highly enriched uranium will be removed from Iran.
[SPEAKER_10]: You go in and you take it out.
[SPEAKER_09]: With what?
[SPEAKER_09]: Special forces from Israel, special forces from the United States?
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, I'm not going to talk about military means, but the president from the set to me, I want to go in there.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I think it can be done physically.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's not the problem.
[SPEAKER_10]: If you have an agreement and you go in and you take it out, why not?
[SPEAKER_10]: That's the best way.
[SPEAKER_09]: What if there isn't an agreement?
[SPEAKER_09]: Can it be taken out by force?
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, you're going to ask me these questions.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm going to dodge them because I'm not going to talk about our military possibilities of plans or the kind.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'm just trying to get at how long is it going to take to achieve that aim.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm not going to give a timetable to it, but I'm going to say that's a terrifically important mission.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I'm just going to ask how long it's going to take because that's the most critical question I can ask not what right do you have to attack a run.
[SPEAKER_07]: Why are you not in the hay right now because you're an indicted worker you're an indicted work criminal, but how long is it going to take for you to achieve your goals.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's as far as I can go on very wise to CBS news.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, I mean this show should honestly be called 60 hours because it's such torture watching it.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_15]: Let's wait.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, I mean, but we have to keep going with it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, like, right after I said that, he is after all the co-president.
[SPEAKER_07]: So let's hear more from Benjamin and Yahoo, you know, I mentioned that report in their times about how Netanyahu sold Trump on a quick regime change in Iran, everything was going to go great.
[SPEAKER_07]: That didn't work out.
[SPEAKER_07]: So here he is being asked about that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Time's report is follows quote, in the situation room on February 11, Mr. Netanyahu
[SPEAKER_09]: suggesting that Iran was ripe for regime change, and expressing the belief that a joint U.S. Israeli mission could finally bring an end to the Islamic Republic.
[SPEAKER_09]: Is that correct?
[SPEAKER_10]: No, that's actually incorrect because...
[SPEAKER_10]: In what ways is it incorrect?
[SPEAKER_10]: It's incorrect in the sense that I said, oh well, it's guaranteed we can do it and so on.
[SPEAKER_10]: In the confines of that conversation, you noted the uncertainty.
[SPEAKER_10]: Not only did I noted, we both agreed, you know, that there was...
[SPEAKER_10]: both uncertainty and risk involved.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I remember that we, I said, and he said, that the danger, there's danger in action, in taking action, but there's greater danger in not taking action.
[SPEAKER_09]: And continuing with the New York Times reported, quote, Mr. Netanyahu and his team outline, there's greater danger in not launching a war of aggression that killed.
[SPEAKER_07]: thousands of people blown up the world economy over a nuclear weapons program that doesn't exist because there's danger and letting Iran exist as a functioning state according to Netanyahu because why Iran deters Israeli aggression and that's why it has to go and that's why it's a danger in his eyes.
[SPEAKER_15]: I mean, you know, he's right.
[SPEAKER_15]: He's actually telling the truth because it is a danger to his political career to not be fermenting war.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's true, as long as he's in a war, he is a better shot of staying in office.
[SPEAKER_07]: But also, it's like, you know, he also want, you know, his, his ultra fanatic cabinet wants to steal more Palestinian land in the West Bank and, you know, raise Gaza some more, maybe steal some more territory in Lebanon, Syria.
[SPEAKER_07]: And if Iran exists, it's a danger to all those ways you're gonna strike it, yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: So therefore, you know, let's just go and blow up the whole world.
[SPEAKER_15]: it is so you know how they talk so much about how Putin you know this is only the first stop Ukraine right on his like imperialist march towards more territory uh something for which there's no evidence it's so interesting nobody ever uses that kind of language to describe what is real is actually doing now like it's not a projection or or prediction they're doing it now and you never hear anything about territorial expansion.
[SPEAKER_15]: Well, if you thought that it felt like 60 hours already of a Netanyahu, we are sorry, we have one more hour of footage to show you, but this is a, this is a great one.
[SPEAKER_09]: If it's time for the state of Israel to re-examine and possibly reset its financial relationship to the United States, meaning what the United States provides to Israel on an annual basis.
[SPEAKER_10]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I've said this to President Trump.
[SPEAKER_10]: I've said it in the to our own people.
[SPEAKER_10]: They're jaws dropped, but I said, look.
[SPEAKER_10]: What do you mean?
[SPEAKER_10]: What do you say?
[SPEAKER_10]: If I want to draw down to zero, the American financial support, the financial component of the military cooperation that we have, because we receive $3.8 billion a year.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I think that it's time that we wind ourselves from the remaining military support.
[SPEAKER_10]: Can you give me a time table?
[SPEAKER_10]: I said, let's start now and do it over the next decade, over the next 10 years, but I want to start now.
[SPEAKER_10]: I don't want to wait for the next Congress.
[SPEAKER_10]: I want to start now.
[SPEAKER_10]: And it could go down very fast.
[SPEAKER_07]: First of all, why is he even up to him?
[SPEAKER_07]: how much he gets from the U.S.
[SPEAKER_07]: It should be a sovereign decision of the U.S. but of course it's not because we're colonized by Zionist.
[SPEAKER_07]: But the second of all, it's a totally disgenuous talking point because they're basically responding to the outrage in the public for subsizing Israel.
[SPEAKER_07]: So now they're basically just calling to, it's a rebranding.
[SPEAKER_07]: They still want to arm Israel the exact same level.
[SPEAKER_07]: And in fact, even higher, but just not call it U.S.
[SPEAKER_07]: CBS News edited this clip that we just saw to sort of obscure that fact.
[SPEAKER_07]: So this is the unedited clip that was put out on CBS News as a website, but not the made it to air and watch the context in which Naniay talks about reducing supposedly USA to Israel.
[SPEAKER_10]: I think that it's time that we wind ourselves from the remaining military support.
[SPEAKER_10]: and go from aid to partnership.
[SPEAKER_10]: So I want to draw it down, and then I want to suggest projects, joint projects, for Intel, for weapons, for missile defense, Israel, I think has, you know, is a leader in this in the world.
[SPEAKER_10]: Many countries come to us for it.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'd like to share it with the United States.
[SPEAKER_10]: We put an exact amount of money.
[SPEAKER_10]: You put the same.
[SPEAKER_10]: We share the fruits, exactly.
[SPEAKER_15]: I just hope, by the way, that Cory Booker was sitting down when he said this about military spending, because Cory Booker wants is real to have that strategic edge, that's strategic military edge, and Netanyahu was basically saying, no, don't fund us.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, that's the point.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's he's saying actually in real life fun to me.
[SPEAKER_07]: Let's just call it a partnership.
[SPEAKER_15]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's a program.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm going to continue to get your money and your support.
[SPEAKER_07]: But we'll just call it a partnership.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now we're like partners rather than you giving me a so.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, this is the best that they can come up with.
[SPEAKER_07]: Let's not call it a day anymore.
[SPEAKER_07]: Let's call it a partnership and it'll be so wonderful as we continue to flood Israel with all the weapons in the world to go and slaughter defenseless people.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's essentially what he's saying.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's it's simply just a rebranding exercise and CBS news cut out this clip we just saw from it's it's main broadcast to obscure that rebranding but that's all it is.
[SPEAKER_07]: So okay, great.
[SPEAKER_07]: We're not going to call it a day anymore.
[SPEAKER_07]: We're going to call it
[SPEAKER_07]: a partnership to flood Israel with weapons, because who's going to pay for that joint project?
[SPEAKER_07]: It's going to be the U.S. and U.S. taxpayers who will be subsidizing U.S. weapons makers and these really government.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, you know, the thing is, the problem for Netanyahu is most people aren't on board with this anymore, because they've seen the results of this party.
[SPEAKER_15]: Because they're in the same team in.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, yeah, and it's a real life means they've seen Danielle use US weapons to slaughter civilians in Gaza and across the region and they're sick of it.
[SPEAKER_07]: So here's Danielle is response to that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Post an American politics, the prime minister is keenly aware of declining support for Israel.
[SPEAKER_09]: According to a recent Pew survey, 60% of U.S. adults reported having an unfavorable view of Israel up nearly 20 points in four years.
[SPEAKER_09]: One of the big reasons, the war in Gaza, where according to the Hamas, run Gaza Health Ministry.
[SPEAKER_15]: I'm asking, Ron, remember, guys, it reminds me so much of when ever they give stats from Israel and they say the Lekud, Ron, no, they never do that.
[SPEAKER_09]: more than 70,000 people have been killed.
[SPEAKER_09]: That includes civilians as well as Hamas terrorists.
[SPEAKER_15]: What, why didn't you say that?
[SPEAKER_09]: Who attribute?
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: I mean, that is such a despicable framing.
[SPEAKER_15]: It's really disgraceful.
[SPEAKER_15]: Did they distinguish that the deaths on October 7 included more than 200 soldiers?
[SPEAKER_07]: And again, it's not even a fair comparison because in Gaza, you're talking about people resisting military occupation and living under military occupation and in Israel on October 7, you're talking about soldiers who weren't forcing an occupation.
[SPEAKER_07]: So you know, it's not even a fair comparison, but it's sure that that distinction has never made, it's always, and of course the number of people killed in Gaza is exponentially higher than October 7.
[SPEAKER_07]: And in fact, the number of civilians is that we know officially is a vast undercount because it's possible to keep track of all the death and destruction of Israel caused and other people buried under the rubble that Israel won't clear.
[SPEAKER_07]: So this is the result of Barry Weiss and the elephants take over CBS news as they have to, you know, sanitize genocide.
[SPEAKER_07]: and minimize the death toll civilians by saying, the Hamas or health industry doesn't distinguish between Palestinian civilians and Hamas terrorists.
[SPEAKER_07]: And again, terrorists are such a subjective term.
[SPEAKER_07]: They would never say, you know, Israeli terrorists, of course not.
[SPEAKER_15]: And you know, even like as you were saying, there's an undercount and classified intelligence from May, this is according to 972.
[SPEAKER_15]: So this is about last May, not this recent way.
[SPEAKER_15]: So which means that it's even higher death toll.
[SPEAKER_15]: But Israel believed it had killed some 8900 militants quote unquote in its attacks on Gaza, indicating a proportion of civilian slaughter
[SPEAKER_15]: So, you know, this is an incredibly high civilian count, and they, they, they, they assess that 83% of those killed were civilians, 83% so, I mean, do you think Barry, why it's like injected that into the strip?
[SPEAKER_04]: 100%.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: If you want to mention anyone killed, you have to mention Hamas and call them terrorists.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, just as she interfered with that story about foreign nationals tortured at an al Salvador prison and like that story and then was forced to re-arrate.
[SPEAKER_07]: As it was, of course she interfered in this one too.
[SPEAKER_07]: And you know, I'm sure her who got on her friend Benjamin and then yeah, who for this time we were almost done with the clip of him, let's just finish it out because it's painful to listen to him but it's important to hear because of the implications.
[SPEAKER_07]: So this is then yeah, I was response.
[SPEAKER_09]: Patational harm to Israel almost entirely goes to the social media, which he calls the eighth front of the war.
[SPEAKER_10]: This is your phone, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, like you're not immune either, because I can spy on it.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, exactly right.
[SPEAKER_15]: Have you heard of Pegasus?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, because I've spyware that we'd be able to spy on people like you, especially journalists.
[SPEAKER_07]: Although CBS news is probably, like there's probably an exemption inside US military headquarters for like, who they spy on, they're like, CBS news is good.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, they're essentially state media
[SPEAKER_15]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_15]: I got Barry online on speed dial.
[SPEAKER_07]: So, you know, Barry white still is firing people who don't tow the pros real lines recently dismissing someone from the London bureau because like she wanted fair coverage or relatively fair coverage of Gaza.
[SPEAKER_07]: So she was fired.
[SPEAKER_07]: So maybe Israel is actually.
[SPEAKER_07]: uh, spying on some journalists, they're just to make sure that they're throwing the line.
[SPEAKER_07]: But basically, CBS is become like a, it's become like a, like a new version of Donald Trump's the apprentice where if you don't tell the pros are aligned, you're fired.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's like, so now if you're journalists, I see these things, you're, you're kind of like a contestant on a reality show, the only criteria for winning for, for, for job preservation is serving Israel.
[SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_10]: Machine, you can penetrate this.
[SPEAKER_10]: this little instrument.
[SPEAKER_10]: And you can say about major Garrett, anything you want.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I can paint you as a monster.
[SPEAKER_15]: No, you can't actually.
[SPEAKER_15]: I mean, you can't say anything that you want about major Garrett.
[SPEAKER_15]: And you can paint it as a monster.
[SPEAKER_15]: But you don't have the evidence of his overseeing a genocide.
[SPEAKER_15]: So it's not quite as effective when you don't have genocide that social media can point to.
[SPEAKER_07]: rather than let himself be used is like, then you know, it's fake little thought experiment.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's actually no.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, you can't say that I committed a genocide because I didn't, where is you good?
[SPEAKER_07]: And you've been indicted for war crimes.
[SPEAKER_07]: I have it.
[SPEAKER_14]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's one difference between us.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's been made your girl to go, oh, yes, good boy.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, anyway, good.
[SPEAKER_07]: say about me or could accuse me of or could indict me at the ICC for work crimes.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, good point.
[SPEAKER_15]: He loves Propwork Netanyahu.
[SPEAKER_15]: He loves a prop.
[SPEAKER_15]: He loves a good prop.
[SPEAKER_15]: He has a phone.
[SPEAKER_15]: He likes his poster board that he makes about Iran's nuclear weapon that doesn't exist.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, it is it is it is disgusting.
[SPEAKER_15]: Social media, you know, you know, why social media is able to
[SPEAKER_10]: If I say it often enough, enough people will believe it.
[SPEAKER_15]: No, they won't believe it.
[SPEAKER_15]: Again, he said, Major Garrett is a genocidal monster.
[SPEAKER_15]: No matter how many times you say it, people won't believe it.
[SPEAKER_15]: What makes it believable is that Israel actually is doing that.
[SPEAKER_09]: You believe Israel is at risk of losing this war on that social media front.
[SPEAKER_09]: And this is particularly, I believe, important in America for younger Americans, Republican and Democrat, scrolling through images, and they would use words like barbaric in Gaza and in Lebanon.
[SPEAKER_07]: This was good.
[SPEAKER_07]: They would use words like barbaric in Gaza and Lebanon, because they're seeing images of
[SPEAKER_07]: medical worker is being executed and buried and they've seen the worst horrors in the world.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, they would use words like barbaric because it's accurate.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're describing what they're seeing.
[SPEAKER_07]: And these people are panning us at some sort of perception problem.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're being manipulated by the algorithm and so forth.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's so gross.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, these people don't want social media.
[SPEAKER_07]: They want sociopath media where you're allowed to commit genocide and not be held to account for it.
[SPEAKER_10]: on to unbelievable lens to get innocent civilians out of harm's way.
[SPEAKER_10]: All right, text message, millions of text messages to them.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, wow, you text people before bottom of them.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, wow, you're strictly humanitarian.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, we text people and say we're going to bomb you.
[SPEAKER_15]: So go this way and then we bomb this way.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_15]: It is, I mean, yeah, it is ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_15]: It is so, there have been so many complete communication blackouts in Gaza.
[SPEAKER_15]: So if any of the calls or texts were made in those periods, all those calls and texts were worthless, since the people Gaza couldn't even access them.
[SPEAKER_15]: But again, like, well, we got it, I think we have to play a little bit a little bit more, just to do it.
[SPEAKER_07]: And to one point, even if you do text someone before destroying their home or their hospital.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, we're supposed to credit you, you know, like we text them about the war crimes we commit.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, like great job, or they dropped the flyers saying like evacuate to some like new new zone that we're trying to ethically cleanse you too.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, anyway.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, it's a good idea.
[SPEAKER_15]: They could just not bomb them.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's a little more, but then we got to call it with this guy.
[SPEAKER_10]: make millions of phone calls to them, pamphlets, leaflets, you name it, okay?
[SPEAKER_10]: We have seen the deterioration of the support for Israel in the United States, almost, I would say, correlates almost 100% with the geometric rise of social media.
[SPEAKER_15]: And that by itself is not- By the way, I'm not even kidding, I thought, when he said that geometric rise, I thought he said geometric rise.
[SPEAKER_10]: what caused it.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I don't believe in, you know, and censoring them or anything, but I'll take what happened.
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh, really?
[SPEAKER_07]: I haven't been censoring.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's why we've forced the sale of TikTok to censor images of dead Palestinian children and we're constantly, you know, getting people banned and deported for speaking out against Israel.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't believe in censorship.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: I mean, thank you for testing my child.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're passing laws on the UK.
[SPEAKER_07]: In the UK, like you can't even say I support Palestine action.
[SPEAKER_07]: which is for acknowledging the genocide.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't believe in censorship.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Is that a left of Netanyahu?
[SPEAKER_15]: Well, just one more claim that he makes.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_10]: Several countries that basically manipulate his social media, and they do it in a clever way.
[SPEAKER_10]: And that's something that is heard as badly.
[SPEAKER_10]: Is it your belief?
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh, by the way, I just have to add one more thing to the censorship.
[SPEAKER_15]: The meta has complied with 94% of take down requests issued by Israel since October 7th, 2023, according to Dropsite News.
[SPEAKER_09]: Prime Minister that nothing that Israel has done, tactically or strategically, has made no mistakes either in Gaza or the West Bank that have, in their own way, contributed to this negative impression of Israel, whether it's on social media or someplace else.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, of course, look, it's war.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, rather than it, like this pathetic, like, uh, sort of deference to Netanyahu, like, are you sure there's nothing you, you've done that may be contributed to people being revolted by your actions of killing tens of thousands of people, being like, you killed tens of thousands of people.
[SPEAKER_07]: You're indicted by the ICC for war crimes.
[SPEAKER_07]: You've committed genocide.
[SPEAKER_07]: Why won't you face accountability for that again?
[SPEAKER_07]: It's like a maybe if you start a buzzer Can you maybe give me some crumb here like acknowledge something here?
[SPEAKER_07]: So I can pretend to look like I'm a journalist right and of course he's just gonna deflect and say that he makes mistakes and we didn't Tenticill civilians.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, except for the fact that you just bomb entire population senators and slaughter
[SPEAKER_07]: you know, civilians wholesale because you're a genocidal apartheid state.
[SPEAKER_07]: And that's all of that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, who we're going to hear from.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, I just want I'll just say he makes it seem like these are mistakes that are made, right?
[SPEAKER_15]: And more time.
[SPEAKER_15]: And these are not mistakes that are made.
[SPEAKER_15]: These are policies.
[SPEAKER_15]: There is it is not a mistake to shoot at
[SPEAKER_15]: to strike ambulances as they go to recover people and help people who have been killed.
[SPEAKER_15]: That's not a mistake.
[SPEAKER_15]: Maybe if it happened once, but it's a policy.
[SPEAKER_15]: All these things that they claim our mistakes are our policies.
[SPEAKER_15]: And we know that they target journalists, medical workers, it's not a mistake to kidnap a doctor and kidnap multiple doctors.
[SPEAKER_15]: And it's not a mistake to sexually assault and rape and defend the right to rape.
[SPEAKER_15]: None of that is from mistake.
[SPEAKER_15]: This is policy, and it's not accidental.
[SPEAKER_07]: And it's not a mistake that CBS News is now acting as a vehicle.
[SPEAKER_07]: There's always say television because that's what the Allison's essentially bought it for.
[SPEAKER_07]: No matter how many viewers and how much credibility they lose, and it's just so painful to watch.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, it's humiliating for major gear to sit through that, but that's, that's his job.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, you know, the sad thing is that's probably I'm not defending it, but that honestly is probably like the most ambitious, the the the most aggressive he can be without losing his job.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, of course.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Again, it's like the apprentice now over at CBS News.
[SPEAKER_07]: If you challenge Israel, you're fired exactly.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, that's going to take us to the end of the values, Felicia's Monday morning, Katie anything you want to plug for the Katie help or show this week.

[SPEAKER_15]: We have Rami Elgandor.
[SPEAKER_15]: He was supposed to address engineering graduates at Rutgers University, which is his alma mater, and he's a CEO of a BioTech firm.
[SPEAKER_15]: And his talk was canceled over, wait for it.
[SPEAKER_15]: Social Media Post on Israel and Palestine.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, a couple of students complained that they didn't feel comfortable having someone who recognizes Palestinian humanity delivered the commencement speech.
[SPEAKER_07]: So even though Benjamin, even though Benjamin and then claims he's against censorship, wow, another person who recognizes Palestinians is human beings was censored.
[SPEAKER_07]: What are the odds?
[SPEAKER_15]: And you know, but I should be fair and that's not his only crime.
[SPEAKER_15]: He also made the mistake of being an executive producer of the Oscar nominated film, The Voice of Henn Rajab.
[SPEAKER_07]: another candidate for censorship then.
