It's the gayest choices you might have.
Shut the fuck up, you little potato pot.
It's your two minutes and thirty-nine seconds
and you're going to be as dumb as gay as the rest of us,
motherfucker.
You're the sunny day.
You're fat, being a little dude,
and when you're trying to have sex with me,
obviously, you're gay.
Okay, fantastic reunion.
No matter where you are in the world,
I'm a sound fighter in the thousands of guys
going to be live from Los Angeles, California,
a study law says in California.
Folks, I'm live and alive and I hope all the boys,
girls and MBS are having a fantastic moment
here today, beautiful day today, wonderful day today is
the first day of August.
It's August 1st, 2024, 11, 23 a.m.
And I am right on time, ladies and gentlemen.
And I hope everyone's having a fantastic one.
That's right, folks.
We're here, we're alive, we're alive.
And we have a lot to cover today.
That was Teresa's Weed Hearts,
Hasan Is Streaming, the most underrated banger
in the Hasan Lavi intro series, I think.
That is Teresa's Weed Hearts, Hasan Is Streaming theme song
from my favorite socialist himbo official video.
But before we get to the news,
here's the part of the barcass
where I tell you about my personal news
about what's going on in the world of Hasan Is Streaming
between the time period where press the start streaming button press the start streaming button
and by God has a lot happened. Just kidding not really much has happened as a matter of fact
but this is the parasocialist update for those of you who are just tuning in maybe you're not
familiar maybe this is the first time you actually checked out the broadcast this early
and you're thinking whoa get to the news news man well this is the news this is the news
from my daily life. I ended the broadcast last night after another short nine-hour stream.
You already know that's basically a half day. Is this guy quiet quitting? Why does he not care
about us? Why does he not care about his job? He has the easiest job on the planet.
But after an absolute banger where we covered a variety of different stories, I ended it.
I ended the broadcast and I made myself a classic breakfast Sammy. You already know a
tomagosando if you will, a little breakfast sandwich, a little brekkie boy. They let you do it when
you're 33 and they let you have that for dinner. You know what I mean? That's one of the best
parts of being an adult. Taxes are bad. Tax is one of the worst parts of being an adult.
You know, it's one of the best parts of being an adult, being able to eat breakfast for dinner doesn't even matter, you know?
Having an ice cream sandwich after to wash it all down. I can do that.
I can do that. Who's going to stop me?
Get a new bit. You've already done that before. Okay. Well, how about you get a new bit?
Anyway, um, got them.
Another fire for today.
What?
I'm making you info graphics for your one piece card game openings tomorrow.
So you can have the info you need without having the check slash ask the whole time. Love that. Um, was I going to say, where do you get most of your clothes? Do you have a favorite place?
Uh, I, I have a lot of clothes sent to me. I get a lot of clothes that are gifted and I also purchase some of the clothes as well every now and then.
You got to clean up your mop. I agree. My mom is out of control. True.
Um, starting off strong, banning a dumb ass shatter. No, I'm not banning that. Megaphonics. He deserves to be banned, but I'm not going to do it. Um, day two of asking what the one piece figure is next to the veteran hat.
Uh, it's Roro Noah Zoro. Folks.
Personal news wise, uh, what else did I do? I ended the broadcast. I finished my hero academia. I'm finally caught up.
emotional last episode can't believe it won't spoil it for those who are
interested in watching but why do all socials with glasses have circular
frames I don't know my hero academia officially ended today wait what do you

bro i stream nine hours a day if i was streaming at nine hours a day and you would see me praying
in between the stream you know what i mean if i prayed five times a day you would have to see it
Some of those prayers would be some of those prayers would be inside of the
inside of the stream. Are you caught up on the chainsaw man manga is getting nuts? No, I don't

goon or take bro I'm lowly bunny and now this guys I'm sorry this is like fucking
ridiculous that you're acting like this is not I mean yet this is another you
have proven once again why she is they're both the goat
honestly if you think this makes you a furry you're just saying that like 99%
of the planet is furries like no this is a muscle mommy contingency not a
furry contingency. This is, this is a, a, I mean, I don't know what her background is
in the, in the Canon, but it's like, if you look at what my favorite characters are, it's
pre-time skip Nico Robin, like my favorite female characters are pre-time skip Nico
Robin and her is all like Latina. She's like, yeah, her quirk is twerking. I think

the magazine is out okay got it people are being
weird but about olympic athletes being trans
They're just brawling. Trump gets owned by black journalists, runs away, tensions high
in the Middle East and more get in now. She's intersex, not trans though. Who cares, bro?
a cis woman what are we talking about like like she's not a trans woman you know what I mean
she has a fucking uterus like what the fuck she breaks the minds is she even intersects
I don't even know if she's intersects she just has like naturally producing high
she's naturally high testosterone producing bro it's so funny people are just like
they're like people literally were like what is a woman oh if you have a pussy and a
uterus then you're only a woman then and it's like bro she has a pussy and a
uterus and people still are like no she's still not a woman it's like shut
the fuck up bro shut the fuck up being a woman doesn't mean like whoever you
want to fuck okay that's not how this works especially because half of those
motherfuckers are pedophiles okay so then what like it's you're only a woman
in between the ages of 12 and 18 and then you're not a woman after that
either half of these pedophilic republicans are like what is a woman what is a woman what
is a woman she has a different chromosome said than other women I don't even think she does
like and also as always like she wasn't popping she she wasn't popping beforehand she's like
competed before well the moment that she pops off and right winners decide like that's a trans
woman they just go crazy over it you know I hate this shit we do this shit so much it's so
stupid it's making me so mad I haven't even been able to look at my wired
magazine fucking cover because I'm so mad about this shit and immediately I
dove into the conversation I'm gonna get into it don't worry I got a lot of
smoke I got a lot of smoke I briefly covered this stuff yesterday but now
it's like becoming an even more controversial point because people are
just stupid as fuck good luck covering this nobody will be happy no
matter what what do you mean nobody will be happy no matter what there's
one correct way to cover it, which is shut the fuck up and enjoy the goddamn Olympics.
Why the fuck are you so goddamn weird? What is wrong with your fucking brain that you literally
you have this global event that like a third of the whole world watches and your immediate
reaction is like how do I make this like political and annoying? Like people look at that and
go, Oh my God, I can't believe the French did like some gay shit in their opening ceremony.
Bro, they're French.
What do you mean?
Have you never seen a French person?
All they do is gay shit.
They're both homophobic and gay as fuck at the same time, okay?
Then, they're like,
Oh, um, the American team is, is, is playing well.
But whoa, wait a minute.
One of the fucking rugby players is kind of brawling.
Yo, that's a trans woman.
It's like, bro, what is wrong with you?

during the the the Super Bowl. It's like all the girlies were watching because Taylor Swift's
boyfriend is playing and all the fucking right wing Republicans were like negatively polarizing
themselves against the fucking Super Bowl. And it's just like what are you doing? What are
you doing? What like how did this happen? You guys used to be the normal ones I thought

Like I how would you feel if people were constantly being like that's a man. That's a man
Gross dude have a little bit of fucking decency. Okay, so fuck

Okay, that's supermanship. That's an alien alien fucking drops on the planet random ass place Akron, Ohio
Literally, that's it. It's like

brother. Like he is flying. He should not have knees at this point. He should be kneeless. Okay?
He should have lost so much cartilage that like he's actually 6'4", by the end of the 21
your process think about that 250 pounds dude that shit is so much and he's still
flying okay he's flying up and down the motherfucking court at the age of 40 oh

me, I see that and I go, God damn, I love America. Holy shit, dude. I'm singing the
national anthem. Okay. I'm singing the motherfucking national anthem. I'm doing a standing ovation.
I've never felt more fucking proud of this nation. You know what I mean?
I'm out here doing like Patriot prayer cries and shit and it's like right-wingers somehow
are just sitting around being like, is LeBron James actually trans?
Why is LeBron James a black man who is waving the flag? How is he the flag bearer? It's like,
bitch, have you seen him? What do you mean? Like, who should be the flag bearer? You?
You're fucking bitch-ass, fat-ass Oklahoma sitting on a couch going to Walmart,
eating chicken nuggets all goddamn day ass you think you deserve to be the flag bearer shut your

you do not love the united states of america like i do when lebron is playing every other moment
it's fine think about that dude motherfuckers are like and i can't believe lebron james
who was a BLM activist, uh, is who, who kneeled for the national anthem gets to be the flag
bearer. It's like, shut up, put your fucking clans robe and shut your bitch ass up. Okay.
We already know. We know, we know what we know what you're doing. We know what you're
saying. Okay. You're dick riding. You're waiting to support in the rock war. If LeBron
was yamming i would be i would be in support okay
anyway but like my point is this is supposed to be this global event right everybody's watching
and the american team is playing so goddamn well like like just enjoy the show why the
fuck do you have to like lose your mind over who you suspect is trans or whatnot
You know what I mean? Like there's so much fun shit happening in the Olympics. Obviously you
got the 51 year old guy who just like kind of walked off, who just walked up from the stage and was
like, yeah, this is my shit. Who apparently, who apparently fucking said, and he got a silver
medal. He said, yeah, I don't need any of that stuff. I don't need no ear protection. I don't
need no fucking, you know, like goggles or whatever. I can't see without my glasses.
Well, he just came in blasted boom, boom, boom, silver. Where are the Americans?
Where are the Americans? We are, we should be the number one of shooting. That's our thing, bro.
Oh, I'm sorry. The target doesn't look like a fucking school child. It doesn't look like a
kindergartner. So I guess we're not going to be popping off at this competition. And it's
And it's just like, what are we doing?
We're gonna lose to the Chinese.
We're gonna lose the South Korea.
Bro, they don't let people have guns over there.
What the fuck are you talking about?
We got more guns than people in this motherfucking nation
and we can't even shoot good.
They're farting on us, dude.
Yeah, that's called, by the way,
those are tiny little air rifle BB guns.
We don't fuck with that pussy shit.
Yeah, bro, oh, I'm sorry
that we're not shooting a fucking 50 cal.
It's like, it's so embarrassing.
This part was embarrassing as fuck, dude.
I swear to God, this part was so goddamn embarrassing.
I felt, I felt shame.
Thank God, LeBron is just carrying the fucking torch.
Holy shit, dude.
Oh my God.
I'm shocked.
I'm in awe of the fact that we do not have.
not have. I'm in awe of the fact that we do not fucking have enough. We're not good enough
on on the shooting side of things. Okay, one hand of the pocket is normal. Apparently that's
just the thing that people say. Is that your dad? No, zero medals is shooting for America.
like we have so much goddamn we have so much we have so many fucking guns oh this is cool too
I saw this um yeah free user oji-san is trending in japan as netizens react to 51 year old Turkish
shooter users to catch winning a silver medal without a fancy eye gear they're describing him
like a gamer who wins without spending any money on freemium games he's known as the Turkish
uncle and the non-charging, charging, charging uncle has a shooting style similar to Rio
Saiba from city hunter. American basketball is more physical compared to international
ball being more skill base. You are literally wrong. You are so wrong. You're unimaginably
wrong. As a matter of fact, Bieber rules are way more fucking heavy on contact. Bieber
rules literally allow people to play basketball. Like it's the nineties in the United States
of America, like, you know how unks, old heads will talk about how like back in, back in the Jordan days,
like people used to actually play, not this pansy flop shit. Okay. American basketball players are
flop machines, especially our centers are fucking flop machines in comparison to like Euro centers.
So no, it is actually a much more physical game. It's also smaller court on top of that too,
which makes it tighter, which makes the game play faster. So you're actually wrong about that.
We, our players are just insanely good.
Euro kids seven feet tall come in shooting like Curry.
Yeah.
Cause they're, you know, that's just they're nowhere near as physically, uh, they're nowhere
near as physically equipped.
That's why they just like, that's what they're good at.
But you're, but if you're talking about, if you're talking about like basketball,
like what refs call in FIBA, they are way more aggro by carries.
the NBA is not. Okay. And FIBA rules smaller court. So the game is fucking faster pace.
It's tighter. And not only that, but like you actually have no three, no three second rule.
So you can like literally sit there. And on top of that, you can be way more physical.
Also having a consistent role as helping the international team with American superstars
come in and all of a sudden their role players. Yeah. Yeah. Unks thinking the only international
player is Dirk and like Dirk couldn't bang. What the fuck is this sports lingo? We don't
know any of that stuff here. Well, I'm explaining it to you. So now you know. Anyway, I did
not need special equipment. I am a natural shooter. You have to catch. That's what
he said. He's so sick. It's funny when people flex not knowing about sports. I
mean, it's normal. Yabancılar adam tetikçi film karakter gibi dersen türkler soruyu
It's not like you're just giving it all of you out of the key for how I yeah
Turks are looking at this guy and going like this is the classic fucking like
This is the cat classic like chemical engineer build. Okay
Turks are looking at this and they're like this is on this is every normal on
Apparently, he's a former military police is John Darm
John Dharma he was like a chief of
military police
but
Regardless, like he's obviously very good at shooting.
Right?
He's just like naturally very gifted at shooting.
He's a very good shot.
But, dude would win every duel in the wild,
was no effort.
We play him with Plumber's Dog, what?
Dude, another thing that I thought was awesome
is the 5-4 guard for Japan.
That guy is incredible too
The five foot four guard for Japan
He's amazing. I mean they got robbed like against the French team because obviously it's the home team
So they got to give it to him
Shouts out to the shouts out to the Japanese team though
Right
Yeah, I saw him and when be the same pig you mean when he fucking
when he dropped a
a three pointer from like NBA three point line and over Wemby. He's five eight, not five
four. Oh, I thought it was five four. Do we have a photo of that? The Japanese guy and
Wemby. Yeah, look at this. Look at this shit, bro. Look at this shit. I mean, this is crazy.
When he let, when he gets into defensive position, he is literally dick suck. He is literally
and dick suck territory like it's not even like he needs to reach up the suck
Wemby's dick that's how fucking that's how fucking short he is in comparison to
Wemby and he was on fire okay he was splashing over he was splashing over
Wemby like it was nobody's business that's crazy that's crazy bro like
Like that, that should never, like that should never happen. I think. Anyway, that was sick
too. See now, you know why all us soccer fans in the world lose our minds every international
tournament law is the only patriotism that matters. Yeah, no, I'd get it. I just don't
like soccer like that because it is a very American. It is very American of me. It is
very American of me to just like, uh, not care about a sport that we're just not very
good at unless like we are good at that sport, you know what I mean? Unless we like somehow
magically become good at that sport and then we just start caring. And it's like, it is
very American. It should be like, I don't even give a fuck about soccer. The most popular
sport on the planet that we don't even call by the correct, uh, the correct name.
And for those asking, I'm literally, I'm, I'm Turkish. Like I grew up, I grew up around
football. Okay. The true proletariat sport is dressage. Oh God, I hate dressage. I was
a horseback rider. Do people in Turkey care more about soccer, basketball, soccer? I will
die on the hill. The basketball is the United States greatest contribution to the world
is so young relatively, but it's gotten so huge international. Yes. Playlist updated
with a boxing hog watch. Oh, let's go. Thank you. Thank you for the playlist
the Macy is
GK Rowling got 276 likes on that fucking tweet is genuine mental illness. Yeah, I hate dude
I hate this shit so much. I hate this shit so much like even as someone
Like even if you're not the number one ally of trans people it's got to still piss you off to a certain degree, right?
Like it's got to piss you off
because it's like
people are so fucking annoying people are so lame people are so wrong and
And they're just so mentally ill.
People are so mentally ill about this shit.
The XY chromosomes thing is from the IBA, an organization that the IOC no longer recognizes because they're president is a Putin dog.
Yeah.
It could have been like a political posture.
Delete Twitter, delete Twitter. I don't want to fucking hear about it. Wait, what?
Yeah, I'm not going to delete it.
I said that was featured in the Mike, uh, Mark Jacobs fall collection.
You know what's crazy about this?
I'm tapped in with mark marky mark as well
Like they send me they send me care packages
Like this these glasses these are the mark Jacobs glass they send me and also that
Shirt that I wear the sleeveless shirt that I wear. I'm on there like I'm on their influencer
Package obviously not good enough to you know be a part of their actual campaign, but still
Mark Jacobs is...
Mark Jacobs is...
Mark Jacobs is...
Mark Jacobs is fun.
Mark Jacobs is legendary.
He relaxes.
Mark Jacobs is love.
For the bad.
Mark Jacobs is...
Mark Jacobs is sexy.
Mark Jacobs is powerful.
Absence.
What would you say?
Yeah, I probably would have gotten canceled if I was actually a part of this though, but regardless, um, that's sick, though. That's sick. I mean, this is not new for Kai. I mean, this is what he does. This is literally what he does.
I hate these cheap phone video ads. I think it's a good aesthetic. I don't care. I like, I like the direction that they're going with. Um, I'm just, I'm not saying that because I'm on the, I'm on their list now.
I'm actually kind of shocked you aren't in their campaigns considering in a fashion
They tried to show Kai's and I was sort of talking about yourself. Yeah, bro. I'm a twitch streamer. This is my stream
What do you want me to do?
Like this is what I do is this is this shocking to you like I'm like why is this
Why is this shocking?
Like it's called, you know talking about my own personal
experiences. Mark Jacobs is an unrelatable billionaire alien aesthetic probably. Is there
anyone in the, is there any MJ is Hamas? Is there anyone is, is Twitch that is more into
gas than you? What do you mean? Fashion? Um, I think like the AMP boys, Kai phase, like
they are really into fashion as well. There's a lot of, there's a lot of people that
are super into fashion and way more tapped in than I am in general. I am, I'm on
the sidelines. I'm on the sidelines. I'm serving three minute outbreaks at the top of the hour.
I'm doing every now and then I'm doing a fucking wired magazine. I'm doing a wired magazine photo
shoot for wired magazine, middle East. I was on their Instagram real apparently we're
going to be looking at that as well. But yeah, yeah, we'll do, we'll do Logan Paul and
everybody else like chiming in on the fucking transphobia train to chew the transphobia
train is here. Let's go. Um, we'll talk about it. We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it.
Uh, in a second, the reason why I was like bringing up all this NBA or not NBA, uh, the
Olympic stuff was specifically because I was going to get into the transphobia aspect,
um, of the Olympics because people are just like really unhinged about it. Oh yeah. I
forgot to run the ad break. Anyway, you can avoid seeing those ads as long as you
subscribe for $5 or for free with touch prime. Uh, I'll put the ad break in the bag
real quick and you can put the subscription in the bag if you no longer want to see those ads
but uh here's a streaming app right now so there's more than one person too of course yeah
of course of course of course um they are transvestigating katie ladecky dude i know
because they're fucking brainbroken dude they're brainbroken they're brainbroken
They're brainbroken. They're fucking brainbroken. They just hate like they don't they hate that's it
And it's not even just like that they hate women
It's great. You think it's okay for a man to box the head of a woman, bro
You need to fucking
Maybe box yourself a little bit. Okay, just slam your head into a fucking wall until your brain is
Reoriented into being normal you have fantasized that this person is a fucking man. She's not
And now you are like operating on this planet
On this completely different reality
We are currently talking about just all cis women
Okay, is this a man or a woman? How do you respond?
We'll determine the strength of your character
They cannot be fucking normal
They cannot be fucking normal at all
None of these people are trans women bro
And it's fine even if they were like I'm already- I've already-
I've already talked about this like I don't give a shit
It's crazy
It's crazy that these motherfuckers are like not don't care. That's a man. Don't care. That's a man
Don't care
The end woke miss account has 350,000 likes bro an absolute travesty at the Olympics
Angela Carini is forced to box against a biological male

You're literally fucking getting duped Mikaela god damn Mikaela
the fuck
These arguments are so fucking stupid she can vote for Trump in Missouri who cares no I care
Because this is a person I know and it's like sad to see people get so fucking lasered in the mind
It's like the amount of time that they spend on Twitter directly contributes to like their brain getting fucking
Ironed into like a perfectly smooth shape. Okay, the more time you spend on Twitter
The more you believe what you see on this dumb ass fucking platform though smoother your brain becomes and of course
I'm like, are you triggered? I'm upset dude. Of course. I'm upset
I'm upset that people are becoming dumber as a consequence of what they see online
It is just falsehoods. Why the fuck who wouldn't be upset at that especially people that you know
But it's just not fair stop it
dude
You're talking about us this woman
What do you mean?
You're literally like what are we supposed to do? It's not he is not a man
What are we supposed to do dog? What are we supposed to do? You're just wrong at this point
It feels like 50% of the population is just genuinely schizophrenic and it's like it's our problem
It's all of our problem now because it's like no, I'm hallucinating this thing. Okay. I'm hallucinating this fucking thing and
Like you have to deal with it
Like you have to deal with my hallucinations, it's like what are we doing
What the fuck is going on dude?
this is the purest form of evil unfolding right before our eyes of course that
got 79,000 likes and it's still gaining likes the correction is sitting at 3000
likes because nobody fucking cares about the truth oh my god dude and at this
point it's literally just like you're imagining cock okay you are imagining
cock you're fantasizing about a person that you're seeing on screen and instead
of like watching them do their goddamn thing, be an excellent fucking athlete, you know,
sometimes losing, sometimes winning, instead of looking at that and going, I am fascinated
by what human beings can do to their fucking bodies to become these machines that are competitive
at the global level. Instead of looking at that and thinking, wow, look at how far we
have gotten in terms of like medical science, in terms of exercise science, in terms
of like where we are with how we consistently push our fucking flesh and blood to max out
to do unimaginable things at the competitive level instead of looking at that and appreciating
that you go I'm fantasizing about a potential cock that's what you're doing that's what
you're doing you look at this and you go ooh I wonder if she has a girthy one I wonder
if it's veiny it's weird bro you're fucking weird and your brain is breaking and you think
it's normal to feel this way and this is one of the purest forms of mania that I always
talk about it's like it starts off by being like trans people are odd I don't really understand
it to genders only and then it and then you can either sidestep into this like world
where you you know live and let live and you're like yeah whatever I don't get it
who cares, don't be weird, don't be mean, don't be ruthless, don't be a bully, or, and many
people are in that pocket, or you just go, no, this is a satanic thing that's happening,
that everyone is trying to become trans, and you just become this hysterical, transpanic
demon that routinely breaks your fucking mind further and further as you go down this rabbit
hole, and I try to warm motherfuckers all the time, but before you know it, you
You become this person that is constantly, especially with Twitter, especially because
like Twitter literally gives you all the cloud you want.
And some people cynically lean into that to be like, yeah, that's a man.
And other people legitimately believe that, okay?
But before you know it, you've become this brainbroken person where you're literally
fantasizing about whether someone that you're watching on screen has a cock or not.
I have been warning about this for years and years and years.
I'm telling you right now, you might not understand trans shit.
I certainly didn't.
Okay.
It was confusing to me as well, especially because the gender binary is how we are taught,
how we are educated from an early age.
So when something, when, when everything that we know gender is something that we
closely associate with our identity, when everything we know about this particular
field is like almost ripped apart it feels like reality is falling apart where you're like what the
fuck and you have two options in that situation either you read into the literature you read into
the fucking available evidence and you look further beyond your own internal biases in the matter
or you just seek out someone who will just spit out all of the shit that you feel in your heart
of hearts is right. Okay? And a lot of people become obsessed. They become pathologically
obsessed weirdos with this trans shit. They can't leave it alone. They just can't be like,
yeah, some people are trans. I don't really understand it, but who gives a fuck? It's,
it's like, you know, in the nineties, people didn't understand people being gay,
you know, and time moves on and we become, we become more sensitive to these matters.
We become more understanding and more empathetic. And we just move on. And it's odd because people
literally would be like, back in the day, people are like, what is a woman? Does she have a pussy?
Does she have a uterus? Okay. Here's a woman with a pussy and a uterus. And you're like,
nope, that's not a woman. She's too brolic. Yet her prior banning comes from political reasons.
Okay. There are no trans women in the Olympics. There's like, I think two non-binary people.
But beyond that, but they're still like, I think they're, I think they're assigned female
birth non-binary and, and that's it.
There's also a literal child rapist competing, yeah, that's the other thing.
There's a dude who fucking flew internationally to go rape a child and that dude is competing.
I don't hear these motherfuckers chirping about that at all.
What is going on?
Yeah, he raped a 12 year old or some shit. He was 19 and she was 12. The Dutch guy. Yeah.
We'll cover that as well. Oh, there's one trans man. There's one trans boxer at the Olympics,
but it's not a trans woman. There are none good enough to have qualified as a trans man
called her G. Bacchia Don. That doesn't fit the biggest narrative. So they'll ignore
an alliance that I thought there was no, I thought there was no trans people at
all. I thought there was like one or two NBs, but I guess there's one trans man
as well. Kicked out of the village. The Elon partake in this particularly demented this
way of delusion as well. I just don't get it. I don't like, here's the thing. Here's
the thing. Okay. Here's the thing. I just maybe I'm the abnormal person, right? Maybe
I'm the weird one. But for me, it's just like, I don't give a fuck, man. I don't care.
Like I just want to watch people do unimaginable feces strength. Like I'm not going to sit
here and be like, Oh, it's really fucked up. I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna fucking sit
around and suspect people of being trans. But that's not where my mind goes. And if I if
you spend a lot of time on a right wing website like Twitter, you're gonna develop this false
narrative this, this false sense that like everyone is just as invested in the weirdo shit
as like all the right-wingers are.
But that's not the truth.
That's not how it works.
Also, do we have a way to look at the Wired Magazine?
Cause like, I didn't even realize it's out today.
I just wanted to basically look at this.
I wanted to look at the Wired Magazine
that just released, there's a couple of my fits on there
which I fucking, you know, small ass feet.
I'm size 13, brother.
huh you can focus on the other nine uh nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine participants
are completing the competing in the Olympics yeah it's so gross because at the end of the day
like a lot of this is just basically being like a lot of this is just basically being like
i have in my mind a specific way that women should look right i have in my mind a specific
way that women should look if this woman doesn't look the way that i want women to look
then she's not a real woman. That's all you're doing. It's like hyper-misogynistic in many respects.
And it's very odd that people don't understand that because like women that participate in this
kind of transphobia are also so fucking weird because like TERFs, TERFs are the clockiest
women I've ever seen. Like what are we doing here? How are you going to be the clockiest
woman on the fucking planet and chirp about like how brawling some athletes are, dude.
What the fuck?
What are we doing?
Like it just blows my mind.
And for those who don't know, Terps are trans exclusionary radical feminists.
They're not really feminists at all, but like they're just transphobes, right?
His shorthand for transphobe.
He means like clocking someone means like clocking someone for being trans invest transvestigation
the earlier version of that was when you do not fit the the gender expression.
It's something that you know trans people worry about.
Anyway, I'm not going to get into it too much.
But basically it turned into this like weird thing where people go we can always tell
trans folks love saying we can always tell no the fuck you can't.
the fuck you can't. That's a garbage take, brother, that Italian woman dedicated her
life into becoming the best athlete. And now you come in and say amazing piece of string
when that person is competing as a testosterone anomaly.
Brother, what are you talking about? Ain't nobody out here chirping about Michael Phelps
having a fucking unimaginably long wingspan. What the fuck? Now you're so mad about transphobia
that you suspected existed that even when it doesn't exist there, now you're fucking
Charping about natural advantages suck my fucking dick. It's like complaining that LeBron James is six foot nine
250 pounds and as the grace of a ballerina
How is that allowed? We need to do a six foot and under NBA League now
Why is when be playing in the Olympics?
Where where that's what you sound like bitch ass shut the fuck up
How can someone be 20 years old be fucking 7 foot 11 and play basketball like that?
That's not allowed
That's what you sound like you fucking bitch you stupid ass pussy shut the fuck up
How can you can yourself an athlete like that? He got so triggered dude. He got so mad
That's the whole point. That's the whole point. You got people who are maxing out all their fucking skills
for their entire goddamn lives competing against one another, dumb fuck.
And yes, some of them have natural advantages as well. Shut the fuck up. Shut your bitch ass up.
You want to put fucking shackles on these athletes specifically because you suspect
of being trade. That's it. We haven't even gotten to the other part of the conversation that like,
I don't even care if she was a trans woman. She's not because she's not. And these people
are still fucking running on this, uh, this narrative. Okay. Trans people compete all the
time and they get their shit pushed in all the fucking time. And in the one moment that
they actually fucking do win, all of a sudden all hell breaks loose. But now when there's
no fucking trans women competing, people still lose their minds because now they're
like, well, I still suspected there's a trans person there. You're hallucinating, brother.
You are hallucinating. Okay. You are a little skit. So I'm sorry. No disrespect to the schizophrenics
in the chat. Okay. I love you all. I know many of you are wonderful contributors to this
community, but these guys are undiagnosed at this point and don't know. And they're literally
doing this by going online. Like they've done this to themselves by just going online
like breaking their fucking brains dude. Oh, why the fuck would they, what the fuck would they do
if a trans man had to fight against cis women because they were born female they're so stupid.
Yeah, it doesn't matter. They just don't want trans people to exist. That's the whole point.
There's no actual solution to that. They're like, oh yeah, if you're trans you just don't
compete. That's it. That's what their fucking ultimate goal is. So like this part of the
The conversation is so nutty because it's so fucking obvious that these guys are like
stretched.
They've stretched so far.
And here, by the way, look, sneak up, they same reason you do a podcast with one.
This is Bradley Martin's co-host, okay?
And obviously these fucking freaks are now saying she's a man too.
She's a trans woman as well.
Why?
Because she's like, she's jacked.
she doesn't abide by what the standards that this person has decided women should look
like. That's it. That's all this is. Also, this person lost nine fucking times, bro.
This person one comes from a country where I think it's not legal to be trans if I'm
not mistaken. Okay. Not exactly a very pro trans country, Algeria. Okay. So that's
number one. So that's one, that's number one. Okay. That's number one. Number two, she has
nine losses. She was in the last Olympics and didn't win anything. Only 11% of her victories
are knockouts. Choose from a country where you're not even allowed to transition if
you wanted to. So the hateful and ignorant, this doesn't matter. And they don't know
that because they found out who this was recently and Khalif just used to is someone
that was used in the culture war. Yeah, bro. This is like, this is what sports
is about okay this is what sports is about motherfucker this is what it's about you have
people that overcome great odds okay you have incredible fucking stories you have people who
are like literally five foot four or five foot eight apparently I don't know I that's
what I heard I thought he was five foot four taking three point shots off of a guy like
Wemby is scoring okay this dude was cooking dude they got robbed because
they were playing as the home team so like obviously you know they they they
went all the way up to the last they balled their fucking hearts out to the
very last moment anyway this stuff is super this stuff is just like the most
most like the, uh, the most salient point that you can make against trans people.
That's why people did it for so long because it captures the attention of a lot of people
who are otherwise so incredibly tapped out of that conversation.
But this is the one thing that they look at and go, Nope, that's wrong.
Man beating on a woman.
That's wrong.
And yeah, they're really going all in on this.
Just pretend this woman is trans.
harvest outrage. None of them will stand being corrected. They don't care what's true. They
don't care about the potential consequences of transvestite getting a woman from a country
where being trans is illegal. They don't even give a shit. They don't give a fuck. Men don't
belong in women's sports. I stand with Angela Carini. Let's get this trending. Absolutely.
Cecila must 999,000 likes. Oh my God. Oh my fucking God. It's like it doesn't
matter it does not fucking matter to these people now let's get to the story
the IOC had to come out and make a fucking statement okay the IOC had to
come out and make a goddamn statement about this shit I'm gonna tweet about it
hold on there imagine looking at people maxing out their skills on
Imagineably impressive eats of athleticism and complaining that a cis woman helps us
confirm a genetic freak.
I don't hear anyone whining about him.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
It's just like you're, you're, you literally, it's like demanding when he doesn't play
because of his genetic advantages or demanding Michael Phelps no longer play and then
I'm saying, imagine looking at people maxing out their skills, doing unimaginably impressive
feats of athleticism, doing incredibly impressive feats of athleticism and the hallucinators
is woman is trans because she naturally has high T is like the man in Wembley or Phelps
no longer could be due to their natural advantages.
I'm saying no longer compete.
The whole, wow discourse talking about how there's men fighting in women's boxing.
This is going very widespread quickly.
Yeah.
The craziest part about it, the craziest part about this fucking story is that she's
literally of cis woman too so it doesn't even fucking matter add tweet because
everyone thinks she's trans but she's not what the fuck do you mean so funny
coming from gamers or Twitter posts is at least Brawley motherfuckers on the
planet yeah this is the worst aspect of misinformation online is that once
people actually make up their minds about a thing that corresponds to their
fucking personal biases it doesn't even fucking matter hormone levels have
literally been used to discriminate against female athletes like cis gender female athletes historically, okay?
That's the other part of this
And it's so fucking annoying and it's something that I say all the goddamn time dude
It I this is something I've talked about so much. This is literally this is literally a
very foreseeable byproduct of having fucking
terminal brain rot in terms of like suspecting people of being trans, okay?
You just start harming cis women. You might be just simply transphobic and you
want to fucking kill trans people, but you end up harming cis women too, okay?
And that's the thing. Obviously I, that's not my only problem here. I think
it's fucking insane and gross to be this transphobic in general. But like,
there are significantly more cis women than there are trans women so
statistically you're just hurting more cis women than trans women we fucking do
this shit and it doesn't really matter to a lot of dudes doing it because they're
misogynistic anyway and they're like yeah why do you look like that it fucking
hurts my feelings that you're more brolic than me as a guy irony she lost
the ninth female prior but nobody brings that up so when she loses the
women, that is okay, but she beats a woman. Everyone goes crazy guys. That is always the
case. And they do that with trans athletes as well. This is not a trans athlete is a cis
athlete, but they do that with trans athletes all the time. This is the nature of the game.
Okay. It's not like trans athletes are like automatically dominant. That's not a real
thing. That's not how this works. That's not how this happens at all. They never
talk about trans athletes when they're losing or maybe even sometimes I think the peak of this
mania was the last Olympics when there was a trans athlete that was an Olympic weightlifter
who literally fucking got owned, right? She went all the way up in the weightlifting competition
and she lost and then they started saying, oh, she lost specifically so that more trans athletes
could actually participate. Like it's crazy, bro. There was an Olympic trans weightlifter,
Okay, who got last place
Who got fucking last place in olympic weightlifting and i remember at the time people were literally going oh well
She probably lost on purpose so that more chance athletes could participate in the future
It's crazy to me that this is still a debate. We're fucking cooked. No, it's not that it's not that we're fucking cooked
We're getting progressively worse
That's the problem. This culture worship is breaking the brains of people, okay?
We are progressively getting worse on this issue
When there's no trans people left like in this circumstance
Now they're just going after cis women and hallucinating that they're trans and you can't fucking tell these people they're wrong
They will not believe you because they're fucking insane
That's the worst part about it
Like, you cannot reason with a person that is high off of the 354,000 lights they got pumping this fucking narrative out there.
And it's so crazy to me, because all this transphobia shit, trans people can't compete, trans people can't compete, trans people can't compete, okay, now they can't compete.
And even then, and even then they're like, no, now I suspect these cis women to be trans as well.
Look at this Algerian account responding cry more. Yeah, it's also like,
I don't know. I don't know what to like, I don't know what to say in this situation. It's like,
like we celebrate natural advantages that athletes have in every other field until
We're talking about women
Okay pat mac if we did an entire transphobic statement on this
It's boxy. I haven't done enough research. I saw that the well done. Don't shut the fuck up then why why are you doing this?
Like yo, we really don't give a fuck dude. We really nobody gives a fuck dude
Nobody gives a fuck islamophobia
Transphobia nobody gives a fuck. I didn't do enough research
Like then do more research dumb fuck. What do you mean? You didn't do enough research
Like we have no care or consideration in the Western world when we talk about these issues, right?
It's just like I don't know like what do you mean, bro?
What do you mean you didn't do enough research? Like that's your fucking job
Come on man. Use your fucking mind like use your goddamn brain
Yeah, it looks like a guy
We are devolving as a society. Okay, we are devolving as a society
Society this issue is one of those things you might not give a fuck about it because you've never like
Possibly met a trans person you have no idea right? You just don't know there's trans people all around
But there's not that many of them so you don't really think about it that much and that's normal
Many people don't think about trans people all the time until they fucking
Think about it all the time now stop is all the the only thing that they think about and it breaks their fucking
brain it warps their perception they're thinking that there is a hidden
trans agenda there's a secret trans in every corner and it was always obvious it
was always fucking obvious that like it was always obvious this wasn't about
like women and protecting the integrity of women's sports that was just a
shield just like affirmative action is not about like getting Asian people to
uh, have better placement in college applications is just a shield that white supremacist fascists
of races use. Okay. Because if they were to say, I don't want black people in Ivy League
schools, people will look at them and go, that's racist as fuck. You're weird. Why the
fuck are you saying that? Okay. And now we are in the, we are in the midst of them
Revealing the fucking ball game from the start. It doesn't make any fucking sense
But unfortunately, it does not matter how fucking nutty people are
It does not matter how insane people are this literally happened with jordan peterson jordan peterson
personally was running around
Ambasterdizing a hate speech bill
That would incorporate
Transphobia into hate speech hate speech was already
in the Canadian law, right? And he lied about it. He said, if you misgender someone, you're
going to jail. Not a single person ever went to jail in Canada over misgendering someone.
Okay, not one. And it got so bad. It got so fucking bad that the Canadian Bar Association
had to like release a statement on it, but nobody fucking cared. Bill C 16 was all
the talk of the town. Okay. You think you're more experienced or smarter than Jordan Peterson?
Yes. After all, I didn't have a crippling Benzo addiction and then allow my daughter to almost
kill me by making me take a controversial cold Turkey rehab center in fucking Russia
and then give me COVID because you wanted to fuck and rotate in the middle of Serbia
during peak COVID. So yeah, I think on that front, I would say my room is cleaner
And I almost didn't fucking die multiple times
By drinking apple juice in the midst of my fucking only meat diet that I keep promoting
So yeah, no, I do think that I'm actually smarter than Jordan Peterson
Automatically, I think if you're like if you almost died drinking apple cider
You're just a bad person. You're I mean you're a stupid person
It gets even worse. Bilsey 16 is toothless
We had a politician who won her seat after calling trans kids pieces of shit in a meal that needed to be removed. Yeah, um
Apple cider vinegar. Yeah, Trump is posting about this shit too
Well, it is crazy. It is crazy. We are now reaching peak brainworm
We are reaching peak brain rot. Okay?
Peak brain rot on this issue. We have officially reached terminal velocity
It does not matter what the truth is what matters is how people feel about it. Okay?
facts over feelings, no thanks, feelings over facts, okay? Angela deserves better, I created
a fun for her. Bro, she's an Italian boxer. What are you saying? You're an American congressman
running a fucking GoFundMe? Bro, it's over. We're so done. Society is collapsing in front
of our fucking eyes, dude, over the dumbest shit. Or that's it. I can't believe it. I
cannot fucking believe it. Karini is known for this. We're experienced the birth of
idiocracy. It's been here for a while. We have officially reached terminal velocity
brain rot where someone can simply claim a falsehood but because it corresponds to peoples biases
they don't care why even dedicate so much energy into this you're just being dragged down to end
in the spiral of culture, war rage?
Dude, what do you mean?
This is a massive fucking issue.
And it's not just an issue due to transphobia,
which is something I do care about, right?
But it's also a massive issue in terms of like
how American culture war agendas
have permanently warped people's brains
into believing falsehoods that they ride for,
even if they get corrected, it doesn't matter.
The truth doesn't matter.
It makes me lose my fucking mind.
How can you say that this is not significant?
Like, this is something that is objectively untrue
and it doesn't fucking matter when the president,
the former president who's running for reelection
can look at something that is objectively untrue
and just post about it.
And enough people are like,
yeah, I don't really even care that it's not true.
I'm just gonna keep going with it.
Yeah, and this is gonna be
a massively consequential point, okay?
It's crazy, where everyone can simply, simply keep repeating something objectively untrue.
There will be no corrections, no apologies.
There are feelings that, holy fuck,
lives of tiktok is the first comment. I can't even see the fucking lives of tiktok comment
because she blocked me, bro, you've been covering this for one and a half hours. Dude, you are
exactly the type of fucking person who's going to come back in here and chirp about
this shit. Okay. Tomorrow when your uncle is posting about it on Facebook or brings
it up to you. Okay. What we are talking about now is tomorrow's news. It's actually
today's news and it's going to get elevated. Shut the fuck up. No, I can't, I don't have
access to the wired magazine feature. I can't show you guys. Unfortunately. And it's so all
athletes are trans, all Olympic records, championship stats are avoided until we can gender confirm.
Yeah, dude. They're saying Katie Ledecky is trans. This one creepy looking dude. I'll
be glad when we can officially discount every ridiculous bozos ranking and women's sports
around the world. We have dictionaries for a reason. We have biology for a reason. It
is what it is. Besides, it is signed up to be Oscar Wild Clay. It's a circus out there.
Like, you understand this, right? Like, we, you guys get this. You guys understand what's
going on, right? None of these women are trans. We've officially moved on. We, we,
we don't have trans athletes competing. So now we've moved on to cis women that
we are suspecting of being trans. Why? Because they don't correspond to my own
personal biases of what a woman should look like. That's it. That's what's going on here.
It's something that I have talked about time and fucking time again. Oopsies. I might be
guilty. Here's what Logan Paul said. This is the purest form of evil unfolding right
before our eyes. A man was allowed to beat up a woman on a global stage crushing her
life's dream of fighting for her deceased father. This delusion must end. It's
now sitting at 88,000. 88,000 likes. Transgender is illegal in Algeria. I'll wait for
the facts. Taylor Kniff is on the right side of this story. How the fuck are you not on?
I don't know what to say. You got fucking former Vine stars correcting you, Logan Paul.
The fuck's wrong with you, dude? And then he goes, oopsies. I might be guilty of spreading
misinformation along with the entirety of this app. Although she's been previously disqualified
for failing a gender test, has xy chromosomes, some sources say Iman Khalif was born a biological
woman. I stand by my sentiment that biological men should not compete against biological
women in any sport. And if you disagree, you're a sick fuck, doesn't delete it, still continues
along with the narrative that she's actually secretly a man. Like what are we doing? And
even her, even his correction got fucking 6,000 likes while his fucking original tweet
is still picking up steam. When we first opened it, it had 68,000 likes. Now it's sitting in 88,000 likes.
Fuck! What is happening? And it's not just because of the transphobia, okay? I'm mad about the
transphobia, of course, obviously. But I'm also mad about the fact that we are bludgeoning ourselves
with brain disease, okay?
We are bludgeoning ourselves
and actively leaning into the brain rot.
Is this a man or a woman?
How you respond will determine
this right there character.
It's like, like, what are we doing here?
Everyone's trans, bro.
I, that's it.
We are, so many people are reaching the final stage
of transphobia, which is when you suspect everyone
and anyone of being trans.
Probably gonna get a lot of backlash.
What type of delusion is she is to keep calling this man as she probably going to get a lot
of backlash, but was she a man before the way she was built?
Maybe she just worked really hard at it, but she really looks like she was a man before.
And if that's the truth, then I don't understand why they're making such a big deal that they're
beating women when they have a physical ability of a man.
If I'm wrong, let me know.
Great.
But who's this guy in the picture?
Is he on a swim team too?
I feel so bad for the women of the US swim team who were cheated out of their plays
in their sport by someone born male beating them out.
Steroids are illegal in sports for giving an unfair advantage. This should be too like what the fuck dude
What the fuck?
Look that's another cis woman
Another cis woman being
transvestigated
American rugby star Olympian Ilana Maher
Being fucking transvestigated for being brolic, dude. What are we doing?
I'm gonna be very real here for a second as you can probably tell I've been crying a little
bit.
I always get these comments but like recently it kind of ramped up was I get comments being
called a man and being called masculine and ask if I'm on steroids.
There will always be negative people out there and they put women in the box and they think
of women should be fragile and petite and quiet and meek but that's not the case.
can be strong and they can have broad shoulders and they can take up space and they can be
big. I think I'm getting emotional because I feel very passionate about this. Don't let
anybody try to define or dictate how you feel about yourself. You get to decide that.
It's gonna be very real here for a second. Bro, bro, we've maxed out on the fucking
misogyny. We've maxed out on the transphobia. What the fuck is going on on this goddamn
platform, dude. Holy shit. Like Mike may lacks thoughts. My final thoughts. Biological mention,
participate in women's sports is one of the core claims of the trans community is we aren't
bothering you. So leave us alone on fairly messy with people's lifetime dreams. In fact,
bothers him. So let's not do that. Like this literally is a conversation that I've tried
to have with Mike and like it is impossible to break through. Okay. And they don't
realize okay many people do not fucking realize that like this conversation that's the norm okay
70% to 80% of the American public most people just automatically just hit that line
but what they don't realize is when they're hitting that line they're also so unimaginably susceptible
to just getting swept away with this fucking transpanic because they don't understand
They don't understand that they've already been brainbroken into believing this shit.
Okay?
Where they have in their minds this notion that fucking trans people are magically unimaginably
gifted athletes when that is not the fucking case.
There are a million different reasons as to why someone out-competes another person.
Okay?
Including just pure luck too.
women, higher test offer under other outliers are still women should play women's boards.
What happened today seems akin to questioning the William sisters legitimacy and playing
tennis. They surely have a superior set up and that's why they're athletes put a currently
known as ex moves way too fast with way too little research, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I have wide shoulders or ribs to a man. Does this make me get a pay raise and better
rights to fuck? It's just so incredibly mind melting and so incredibly frustrating.
Can you please shout out my friend stream. He needs views. No, none of these transpose
better find out about downs. Yeah. I mean, it's just like, here's Amy, brought her to
beat Iman defending her. Yeah. I have a lot of people texting me over Iman Khalif. Personally,
I don't think she has done anything to cheat. I think it's the way she was born and that's
out of her control. The fact that she has been beating, she has been beaten by nine
Females before says it all I mean this is her trying to do her very best including
She beat her it's just so fucking annoying dude let people be let people do whatever the fuck they want Jesus Christ
I just don't understand
What would your reaction?
Have been if you were supposed to fight Khalif Amy. I have great respect for your boxing legacy. Oh
Oh, yeah, this is funny.
Amy, I have great respect for boxing, Lisa, but you missed the mark here, agreed the way
you're born is out of your control, but as a clear advantage, you shouldn't be allowed.
Amy brought her's did fight him on Khalif in the 2022 World Championship Final.
She won for a very long time.
Warned people that mainlining transphobia makes you more insane.
Like it's not being trans is not a mental illness.
Transphobia is a mental illness.
Okay.
Transphobia is a mental illness.
And because gender is mostly just a social construct
and an expression that changes throughout time,
gender norms have changed throughout time
in the United States of America.
They are different in other countries and other cultures,
but people don't fucking understand that.
And they think it's a rigid binary when it's not,
that like you finally arrive at the conclusion
from the other side,
when you just start believing
that anyone and everyone can be trans,
because that's the truth.
Anyone and everyone can technically be fucking trans and you might not know it.
So then they fucking hallucinate a world in which like, oh my God, are my parents trans?
There are entire Facebook groups dedicated to this shit.
We've covered it extensively.
People that just like go down this transphobia train and don't understand what they are doing.
So they become borderline schizophrenic about the reality that like maybe the cash register today that I saw was
trans potentially, seemed like she might have had an app, Adam's Apple, and they
don't realize that they're like, not normal. They don't realize that they're
like literally living in a world where they're consistently paranoid. And the
final stage of like, like terminal brain rot in terms of transphobia is when
you start suspecting everyone around you of secretly being trans. There are
people in these groups, in these Facebook groups that literally suspect their parents of being trans.
Okay, it sounds like a fucking joke, but that is where a lot of people are heading down.
Like, these are Olympic athletes, man. Of course they're built different than the average person.
They're literally at the top. Like, they're at the tippy top of the hour when there's a three
minute outbreak. And if you no longer want to see those ads, all you need to do is subscribe

Talk about the boxers gender test controversy
This all matches conspiracy theory levels of delusion. Yeah, bro
A lot of people look at like the alex jones type motherfuckers and like joke about it, right?
Like, we, we joke about like Alex Jones fans hallucinating that like another white supremacist
shooter actually is like a government side opera or whatever, or that like an actual shooting
that took place, like a school shooting that took place again, was actually secretly fake
and it didn't really happen.
We all collectively look and laugh at that, but when it comes to trans issues, a lot of
people do that exact same thing and think they're in the right.
This is no different than imagining that the Sandy Hook school shooting is not real, except
the difference is fucking JD Vance is tweeting about it and fucking Donald Trump is truthing
about it.
Do you understand?
You got presidential candidates running for president and their VP picks saying like,
nah, that's a trans woman.
I don't care.
That's actually a man.
I don't care.
I can't hear you.
And it's like, bro, that's not the case.
That's not the case at all.
It is so commonplace where people like Pat McAfee, who fucking streams their shit to like millions of people, can just get away with saying I haven't done enough research on this matter, but I'm still going to chirp about it and it's so god damn depressing to see people be so fucking stupid.
Even if you are not like the biggest trans ally, you should still get mad at how fucking stupid these people are.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Like this is not just an issue about transphobia even though that is at the heart of the matter, right?
This is also an issue about like how information spreads online and how misinformation
especially on a platform owned by a right-wing
shithead billionaire who fucking despises trans people including his own fucking daughter
who is trans
Can just
Immediately change the narrative immediately change the reality
What are we doing the women's box? I haven't done enough research. I saw that the you shut the fuck up
That's it. If you haven't done a reason to shut the fuck up until you do a reason a national boxing association
Deemed a couple of the boxers that are in the Olympics still in the Olympics
Not eligible to box in women's boxing because they had too much testosterone or they were deemed a male
I believe from X Y comes up from the from the research that I've done. So now we're watching the ellip
No, you haven't done any research. You saw a fucking Twitter post. That's what you that's what you saw
Yeah, they're doing it the fucking Simone Biles to now. They're doing it the Simone Biles because anyone and everyone
Anyone and everyone is trans bro. Everyone is trans
and everyone is trans women of color have consistently gotten this worse in general castor samenya being like one of the most prominent examples it's like wow that person I hope that there is like a like a
Like a pendulum swing in the other direction inevitably, okay?
Because this is so out of control
What are we doing bro? What are we fucking doing? Like what the fuck is going on? I think that I
Think that there is going to I hope that there is going to be a
a
Pendulum swing in the other direction where people just go. All right. This is like actually crazy
because the fact that people are just like running with this narrative when it is straight up false. I
don't know, like I don't know what to do here. Like I don't know how to deal with this.
In this Italian girl has made it. She's boxing. Commend her whole life to boxing. Commend her whole
life to this girl. Her dad passed away, I do believe. Very recently I assume her and her dad
hit like I assume this is a big story. Like they're doing they're hitting this angle from the
from the auspices of like defending women, right?
Defending the integrity of women's sports.
Bro, you're literally shitting on another woman.
Okay?
You're just straight up saying like,
well, I prefer one woman over the other
because one woman looks kind of brawling.
And then all of a sudden she finds herself
in the Olympics moving forward
and she has to fight somebody from Algeria
who has been banned from other competitions
because not woman enough to compete.
And then 46 seconds in to their Olympic fight
with this person from-
Are you delusional? Am I?
I'm the delusional one, you think?
This woman is not a trans woman, bro.
Like, I don't even care if she was,
but she's not even a trans woman.
And I'm the delusional one because enough people
are saying that she is trans,
so we're just gonna run with that?
like, what are we doing?
What the fuck are we doing?
This woman from Algeria basically taps out broken notes,
then afterwards she cries and she's like,
I've never been punched that hard in my life.
And it's like, for me,
I know this conversation has been happening for a few years.
I just don't understand how we got to this point.
And I am coming from a very empathetic point of view
as well, because as we all kind of learned
about the transgender situation
that was happening for people,
I think we're all incredibly like bomb that.
Like that would be terrible
if your soul did not match your physical body,
that would be quite a conflict every single day.
I have no idea how that would test you in the morning.
Like every day you wake up,
you're just not here you're supposed to be.
Like I have a lot of empathy for that.
But the soul being of a different sex of your physical body
is something that people are much smarter than me
are gonna, you know, have to talk about
when it comes to sports, it's like the fifth.
I haven't steered you wrong.
No, I'm not gonna watch a born with testicles
my stomach, intersex awareness video. Like I'm not going to do that right now. Okay.
Time and place, time and place, time and place, time and place. Shut the fuck up.
Time and place, especially in the system is the one competing. So I think there should
be some sort of conversation there, especially at very, very high levels because whenever
you're talking about Olympics and dreams and chasing that girl bawling her eyes
out from Italy. It's like, think about her entire life was committed. Then she
gets into a fight with somebody who physically is going to be, you know, more capable just
throughout history, uh, then she even has a possibility of being like, if you just look
at a simple stat here, let's just do the swimming. Okay. Here's the women's swimming
gold medals. Time. Yeah, that's a great take, man. Yeah. When you look at women's swimming,
okay? When you look at women's swimming, Katie, the deck is just one gold and motherfuckers
are saying she's a man too. You understand? The only difference between you and Ian Miles
Trong in the situation is that like enough more people are hyper-focusing on the boxing
one and you're both wrong. You're both wrong in the exact same fucking way but it doesn't
matter. It doesn't matter, right? Because the truth doesn't matter. What matters is
are there enough people on one social media platform that believe this false narrative,
this falsehood oh my god you're transvestigated to by him is this a man or woman bro there's
nothing funnier than this like dude look at me and then look at you Ian you don't even fucking look
human we don't even look like the same species and you're out here fucking being like is this
man or a woman like what kind of fucking stupid shit is this I for one think that a major social
media platform ah ah never do that again I for one thing that a major social media platform
like this actively giving the entirety of its user base brain worms is probably not
good for a healthy functioning society. We cannot have normal discourse if half of the
population or even larger percentages of the population that are literally on this fucking
platform have actively been brain-rotted into hallucinating narratives. Okay, unfollowed.
Wait, what? I always knew you had a thing against Malaysians, but this is crossing the line.
Rich, I love Malaysians. What the fuck are you talking about? You really want to ride
or die for Ian Miles Chung as in being a Malaysian man? Really? That's what you're
going to do here? Malaysia is the number one anti-American country on the planet
out of all of the nations that are fucking tested on that. Meanwhile, Ian
Miles Chung is fucking running around actively. Ian Miles Chung should not
be talking about men pretending to women or whatever the fuck. Men pretend
to be women or whatever the fuck when he is pretending to be a human and pretending to
be an American. Okay. He should worry about his own goddamn life. Motherfucker acts like
motherfucker tweets every day, never step foot on US soil tweets every day like he's in Portland,
Oregon. It is so insane here. Let's listen to this actually wait before let's finish
the Pat McAfee coverage from this particular Olympics. And then the men's swimming gold
medal times from this particular Olympics. And we're talking about the best in the
There's a couple Olympic records in here. There's a couple world records in here
We're talking about the best of all time the men's ones are faster and it's just natural and you know, there's a women
Yeah, no shit dude. Yes cis men
On many sports many physical sports. This man will usually at the top of the ticket will outcompete cis women
okay
that's true
except people think that like you get to compete in the Olympics as a trans woman by
being a fucking cis man your whole life and then one day being like I'm a
trans woman now like that's not how that works okay it's so stupid that's not
how this fucking works that's why you're pointing to something that is not
happening okay it's basketball there's a women's golf tee women's volleyball the
net is a little bit lower these are things that have just been happening
since you know the beginning of sports and then all of a sudden now the
conversation is turned like no there is no difference it's like there is especially
at a very high level and I just hope that the people are much smarter than us
can kind of sort through that because once again a lot of empathy wants you to
live your absolute best life but I have a daughter who is 15 months old happy
anniversary to my lovely bride I have a daughter who's 15 months old and if if
she works her entire life okay to get to a massive platform to the biggest
competition of all time. And then all of a sudden she has to take on like, that's just
unf, that is unfair. And I know that it's not every woman in every male, uh, physical body.
We're not talking about souls. We're talking about physical bodies are going to be like
better, but it's like at those high level of comp. Oh my God. Okay. Okay. I can't,
I can't listen to the brain wrong. The entire purpose of sports is that it's
unfair bro shut the fuck up what are we doing like the entire purpose of sports is unfair
people have natural advantages okay it's ridiculous it's ridiculous not only do people have natural
advantages but people also have like significant advantages in terms of like significant advantages
in terms of of like their their development right their material conditions that's why stories
like the South Sudanese team coming together from a country that doesn't have one singular
fucking indoor basketball court is a phenomenal story.
That's what makes this so amazing.
Okay.
Nutrition differences like people coming in from other countries like third world countries
that like do not have the same access to nutrition, access to exercise science,
the latest and greatest in fucking development out competing out competing people that do have
access to that it's about overcoming great odds that's what's beautiful about sports it is never
supposed to be this blanket uh you know equity field it's like one of the only places where like
there's some semblance of meritocracy and these guys are literally breaking their brains over this
concept and being like i'm imagining that some people have like uh you know this advantage
This like magical advantage is so fucking stupid and it's and I've talked about this quite a bit
You could say horrible take all you fucking want, but it's the truth
I don't know what you're talking about, but like I never hear anybody chirping about messy getting hormone therapy early on I
Believe it was Barcelona, right in their scouting program that took a massive fucking bet with messy. He had a genetic condition
condition. He had a genetic condition, which he had to get growth hormone for early on in
his life. Okay. Ain't nobody fucking talks about that. Everybody talks about how brilliant
and how incredible a messy is. Yeah. He had to get human growth hormone. FC Barcelona
made the best deal in the history of football, signing a young Lionel Messi from Argentina
at the age of 13. The contract signed on napkin was predicated on football club Barcelona
paying for Messi's medical treatment.
Messi was diagnosed with a growth hormone disorder, or GHD.
It is often called idiopathic short stature,
but there are problems that go beyond being short of an average.
The treatments were expensive, $900 monthly expense
that his modest family could not afford.
River Plate and Newell's Old Boys
storied Argentinian clubs passed on that expense
despite the promise of a very young Messi.
The treatments were injections of human growth hormone.
For someone with GHD, this is a life changer,
allowing them to not only develop greater height,
but also help deal with a variety of internal issues
such as pituitary function, skin and teeth problems,
poor vision, lower immunity.
The use of HGH is banned at almost all sports,
amateur and professional,
but there are two things that need to be made clearer.
First, Messi's use was likely discontinued
after he reached adulthood.
But Bocla Barcelona and Messi's representatives
did not respond to my request for comment on the issue
and have made no public comments in years
regarding Messi's medical treatments.
While GHD continues the importance of it,
The importance of it to development and function is reduced if it did continue a player with
a diagnosed medical condition, especially one that is long-standing and well-documented
like Messi's could apply for therapeutic use exemption.
Okay?
But ain't nobody's gonna ever bring that up, and they shouldn't bring that up.
Okay?
They should not bring that up because that would be ridiculous.
So not only are there examples that we talk about with respect to natural genetic advantages
that certain people have over others like Michael Phelps is incredibly long wingspan that is like
insane right that allows them to outcompete everybody else that nobody fucking chirps about
or Wemby's fucking height or LeBron James being six foot nine 250 pounds and having
incredible fucking footwork these are all genetic advantages but beyond that there's
so much hard work that goes into it that's what makes that is what makes sports great
Okay.
If people like myself and all these other fucking couch potatoes were out there trying to compete, it would not be fun.
It would not be entertaining.
The entire field of sports is supposed to be, uh, it is supposed to be this, this, like, multitude of factors coming together.
Okay.
Social conditioning, material conditions, and also genetic advantages that, that allow people to thrive in this environment, overcoming great fucking odds.
these people, these people that are complaining about a cis woman are saying
I just don't like the way she looks. I don't believe that she is not a
trans woman and I think that she shouldn't be allowed. Okay, it's crazy.
If you think I'm fair as a part of sports, do you think men and women should
competing in the same category. I don't personally care that there are gender
differences in or like there's a male and female category in sports, but I
also don't have an issue with trans men and trans women competing either. Okay,
but we're not even talking about trans men and trans women at this point. We're
talking about cis women being suspected of being trans. Your community
makes me not want to expect it makes me not want to accept trans people and
And I've been an ally. You take it way too far. You're no different than the maga people forcing trans women to compete against these women is sexiest
Towards women, you know different than the magas
What ain't nobody is forcing you to be a certain way
Okay
Have some backbone like what are you are you a child? Do you have a fucking child brain like what's happening? Oh
man, I heard you make an argument about like
people that we actually place the emphasis on in terms of like using
hormones and people that we don't care when they use hormones and that actually
made me transphobic? What do you mean forcing you to be transphobic? It seems
like you just got that dog in you regardless and you don't want to you
don't want to come to terms with that so you just want to like point the
finger of blame somewhere else. He figured you out yeah he did. He sure
did. Testosterone is not a perfect test. Many women can have testosterone, which is in what
would be called male levels, and still be women and still compete as women. So this panacea,
this idea that suddenly you do one test for testosterone and that sorts everything out,
not the case I'm afraid. But each sport needs to deal with its issues. They know their
sports and their disciplines the best and and you need to target and tailor I
should say the testing and so on with that but I think we're all agreed I
hope we're all agreed that we're not calling for people to go back to to the
bad old days of sex testing I think if the Democrats dropped the ball on this
they are the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet they should be hammering this
talking point over and over again about how fucking unimaginably weird
Republicans are beating about this including with American athletes that
are gold medal winners like Katie Ledecky, American athletes at that rugby star that they're
just like on, they're just so fucking unhinged and they're like suspecting that there's a
trans person in every goddamn corner because they've brainbroken themselves into thinking
that we have to have penis inspection day, not realizing that that actually ends up
overwhelmingly harming cis girls. Okay. Because there are significantly more cis girls than
And there are trans girls, okay?
And that's why when they do penis inspection day in the form of legislation as Republicans
have passed in places like Ohio, that's just gonna be weird, creepy motherfuckers being like,
I suspect your daughter of being a trans woman.
So that's right, come on, drop your trials, I gotta check your pussy, that's what the
Republicans want.
That's the future that they're fucking advocating for, and you dumb motherfuckers
are letting that happen, okay?
ass motherfuckers bro I swear to God which which was a terrible terrible thing
to do and I'm sure we all agree that that is not the way forward in this
Democrats bitter not saying nothing bro 85% of USA's brainwrote when it comes to
subject fuck no that's so stupid dude that is not only cowardly but
unimaginably stupid this is what we mean when we say people are weird okay
and no 85% of the country is not like this 85% of Twitter is like this
So you are looking at Twitter and you think that that is an accurate snapshot of
How the rest of the country thinks
20% in Twitter's peak 20% of the American public was using this fucking platform
Okay, that's a lot of people but that was at its peak now
It's all bots porn accounts and fucking murder porn. Okay, and
Right-wing Nazis like you've never seen
huh
Larissa Shields go woman boxer right now gave a take for the near and times defending her Larissa Shields a professional boxer who in
2012 became the first American woman to win an Olympic gold medal said an interview that she did not remember undergoing testosterone testing when she
Competed as an amateur she said women with naturally high testosterone level should not be punished and that there should be transparent testing protocols
Twitter said it so it's biased keg W
I mean yet it is
something that is like blowing up on Twitter does not mean that it is the
actual narrative that a lot of people believe and it doesn't matter what the
fucking narrative is on Twitter regardless you should still advocate for the
truth what are we talking about the idea that we just have to fucking lean in to
these transphobic weirdos who have lost their fucking minds on transphobia so
much that they are literally literally fucking dip like shitting on cis
women and suspecting them of being trans because they're fucking brawling is insane you can't
we can't punish a woman for naturally having something that other women don't have she'll
said that's like saying oh she's too strong to be at this way she's knocking everybody
out we're gonna put her in the men's division it has to be some facts that make sense the
situation
and one of the most verbal you know critic
this involves real people and we're talking about real people's lives here they have
competed and they continue to compete in the women's competition they have lost and
wait what she posted this just did an interview with fox news about this i'm taking a stand women
should fight against women men fight against men and transgenders fight against transgenders
this is ridiculous and i'm heartbroken for the women boxes the olympics wait what is this the
same person why the fuck did she give the new york times an entirely different quote what
changed since this morning yeah mike tiraco just addresses on the broadcast right now
Saying that it's because IOC took over from IBA.
IBA is corrupt and the decision was wrong.
Balance the unemotional reporting.
Basically telling people to move the fuck on.
Yeah.
And they have won against other women throughout over the years.
And by the way, this isn't...
Should make this absolutely clear for everyone.
This is not a transgender issue.
I know you know that,
but I think there has been some misreporting on this.
And I think it's very, very important to say
that this is not a transgender issue.
These women have been competing in competitions for many years.
just the spectacle we need to have a new boxing federation and sadly if we don't
have one we won't have boxing in Los Angeles we really want it for all
sorts of reasons and not just the spectacle but because it's actually
it's actually does a great deal of social good so we we are really hoping and
that there will be a federation that can deal with these issues as as you
know the current um, eligibility is based on Tokyo, which is only three years ago.
The craziest part about it is you see the photo and they're like, surely that's a
dude. And that's so funny because what the fuck do you look like dumb fuck?
What do you look like? Okay. It's not.
You're just being a rude piece of shit. Like you're just being a rude piece
of shit. That's it. That's all this is. It's just you vice signalling.
You're like, oh, well, I don't find her to be fuckable.
So she's not a woman.
That's what it is.
Well, this was a moment of history.
It happened earlier today in France.
And a major controversy, too, has now erupted out of Paris.
An Algerian boxer shown in the red uniform
who failed a gender eligibility test last year
has now won an opening fight after only 46 seconds.
her opponents
breaking down in tears calling it quote unjust
i'd break out that picks it up from london with more on what happened in the
ring
a bill yet big controversy indeed of the olympics
a boxer deemed a biological mail
beating a town in the middle of the with the that's awesome that's not what
this is at all
every part of this is wrong
literally every part of this is wrong and this is being covered
as like
truthful
accurate news. This isn't just like Jesse Waters. This is the objective reporting arm
of Fox news. You need to understand this. Like this is the morning show. Okay. In the morning
show, if you know, if you know anything about fucking Fox news, the morning part of the
show, the morning part of the show is supposed to be more objective, like real news coverage.
Okay, this beats truth and the reason this shit is happening. The damage and
wokeness that lives in TikTok have done on this app cannot be overstated 100%.
This is why I really don't think both sides are the same man. This is just awful. They just
completely lie about shit. Now is zero care for reality. I never said both sides are the same.
Okay, but if the Democratic Party fucking is fearful of the transphobic sentiment that they're
hearing from broader subjects of society and don't actually fucking actively fight back
against this, then democratic party politicians are the same as the Republican party politicians,
because at the end, the, the, the ultimate, like the ultimate changes in society are still
going to be led by the Republican party. Okay. I see verb made it on the broadcast back to back
days. Damn. Yeah. Like this is a big fucking deal. The reason why I'm talking about this
is not because like, oh, here a song goes again, defending trans people who gives a
of shit, like, first of all, I do give a shit, okay? It's still a form of bigotry that I think
is completely unacceptable. That's number one. Number two is that this goes even beyond
transphobia in this situation, because it is at the heart of my major problem with
the age of disinformation online, okay? This is not even a trans person, but people are
just running with this narrative that she is a trans person, that she is a biological
male born a biological male, which is like inherently trans, what we can begin with, okay?
But it's like, you don't understand.
I'm not only just defending trans women in this situation, I'm defending cis women too.
That is a cis woman that they're just calling a man, how do we get here?
Italian crying out, I couldn't take it anymore, despite failing that gender test by the
Look, look, look, look, look, next time we should just start allowing these boxes to bring brass knuckles because they identify as brass knuckle having females.
It's like, bro, that's a woman dog. That's a woman. You think she's not, but that is a woman, not a trans woman, a cis woman. Okay.
That is a cis woman. Okay. She's got a pussy. She's got a uterus. That's a cis woman.
Do you feel me? Do you understand me on this? You are suspecting her of not being that.
And you're just running along with that and you're hitting this with like the classic
transphobia angle, which is like, oh, I, I, uh, personally think I identify as an attack
helicopter.
Like that's what you're doing here.
International Boxing Association and being banned from an international tournament last
year.
Algerian 25 year old and bro, they hit a fucking 9 11 image, dude.
That's so funny.
That's that's hilarious.
They accidentally slid the 9-11 image in there.
An-Khalif was okayed by Olympic authorities to compete.
And apparently today it was a very one-sided fight with Italian Angela Carini, also 25.
After just 46 seconds and several sharp punches to the head, including the nose by Khalif,
Carini abandoned the fight.
Through her helmet to the floor, stormed off the boxing ring, and in fact went
on to say that she had never felt such strong blows in a contest before. Now, Algerian Khalif
has competed for several years in other international tournaments, including the Olympics, but was
banned the last year due to, according to officials, elevated levels of testosterone. Algerian
sports officials have called the charges against Khalif baseless, but others have raised
concerns. This isn't even that person. What is happening? This isn't even Khalif. They're
They're just like showing it to this reporting does not even like this reporting is basically
just straight up like what I suspect from like a psychotic transphobic like right wing YouTube
page.
Okay.
Like that's crazy.
Like they don't even give a fuck.
about the health of opposing athletes when, according to one, a man fights a woman.
And Khalif is not the only one getting attention.
Taiwan boxer Lin Yu-ting is competing in the Olympics, including a fight tomorrow, and
has also been deemed a biological male, according to the International Boxing Association.
In a statement.
Yeah, there's a reason why it's not, this is not IBA standards, okay?
And it's not because of woke, it's not because of woke gender, like the IOC is not using
IBA standards, okay?
What the fuck?
What is happening?
And the IBA said in part, this test conclusively indicated that both athletes did not meet
necessary eligibility criteria and were found to have competitive advantages over other
female competitors.
One more quote from the defeat of the Italian, Boxing is a sport that teaches you to have
respect for the opponent.
It cannot and must not become an abuse.
What a story.
I think it's quite a moment in this whole campaign, whether it's here or overseas.
Greg, thank you for that in London.
We've got more on this now, Dana.
Want to bring in Choressa Shield.
She's a professional boxer and a two-time Olympic gold medalist.
It's great to have you in her.
What a...
Her necklace there says, quote, was the greatest woman of all time.
It is really good to have you here.
You've competed in two Olympics.
This, you told us in the break,
it was not an issue when you were in the Olympics
and there's the medals.
What do you think about all of this?
Not.
Well, my first Olympics, I was 17 years old,
so I hadn't even fully developed as a woman,
so I couldn't imagine getting inside the ring
with the biological man.
I mean, even though I spar against the man,
but fighting for the Olympics is way bigger than that,
is so much more on the line.
So to have to go on there with the opposite gender win.
Look, women fight against women, men fight against men.
So I don't even see how the Olympics
done something like this.
You know, I watched this video earlier today, Cloressa.
Have you seen it?
The Italian boxer saying I'm out.
Have you seen the video yet?
I've seen it.
I mean, she really looks scared to me.
What did you think?
You know, I grew up in a gym
sparring against a lot of guys and stuff,
but every fighter, a woman fighter does not do that.
So, so the power to her did seem like it was much bigger
and much stronger and, and it did scare her, you know?
And I don't know how old she is,
but it's still like when you're born,
and man, you're already born with a bigger muscles
and a bigger neck and you've grown up to be a man.
You know, you didn't change genders when you was a kid.
So it's to me, it's just, it's just unfair.
And I just can't believe that it's being done.
And I just couldn't.
That's crazy that she literally gave a fucking,
she gave the exact opposite quote to the New York Times.
Like none of what she is saying happened.
None of what she is saying happened in this situation.
They're just making all this shit up.
Will there be any fucking corrections on this?
Probably not.
There's no other world where there is no other world
or like the natural genetic advantages
that one person has over the other
is considered to be inappropriate.
That's what makes sports great, okay?
Look at the ticker,
no indication that Kaleeva or Lynn
identifies transgender or intersex.
Imagine it happening to me.
There's not that many women who are willing
to stand up and say this is wrong.
One of the craziest parts about this is like
being a black woman who's a dominant athlete,
not realizing that like black women
who are dominant athletes are the first
to be transvestigated like historically,
including Serena Williams,
but like not limited to just Serena Williams either.
So like they will call you a man soon too,
when your fucking highlight reel comes out, okay?
And it's like recirculating.
This is what a lot of women who are engaging in this kind of fucking transphobia don't understand.
They don't get it.
People don't understand it.
They're doing it to Simone Biles right now.
They're doing it to Katie Ledecky.
Ymankaleev, Dutichan, Kaster Semenya, Anand Nagesa.
Anyone noticing a comment?
Third among female athletes who have been falsely subjected to transphobic attacks
and allegations.
Yeah, they're...
I mean, the Katie Ledecky one is the unique one because she's a white blonde
woman.
But yeah, usually it's just women of color that get fucking transvestigated aggressively. I mean, this is such a bad take
What what is a bad take? It's not a bad take at all. This is very common
People do this shit people do this shit to female athletes of color so much
Okay, he does a female athlete color non fucking stop
I don't know what you already said but Korean shadow is not fair. It's not fair
Then when all the mess started her coach said that she had a problem with her teeth
Many people in Italy thought she wanted a spot in the Maloney government, but who knows?
Yeah, it's just racism and misogyny. It's fucking lame as hell
And you know, I admire you for doing so. Do you think the Olympics will have a
That young woman from Italy she worked just as hard as anybody else to get to the Olympics and her dream was dashed in 46 seconds because of him

You're a fucking disgusting freak piece of shit. So many different you're like deliberately misjiggering

Bro, she tapped out in 45 seconds and we're still having this conversation once again
And once again, I want to, I want to point out that they are doing this to everybody.
They're doing this to Katie Ledecky.
They're doing this to the, uh, they're doing this transvestigation to the American rugby

This is a travesty.

presence of eggs by chromosomes is a natural disorder.
I don't even know that we know that, by the way. Like, we don't even know if that's
the case. That's what the suspicion is. Do you see the whole fight? I don't mean
to be disrespectful to the other Italian lady, but she's just genuinely acid boxing.
You dropped their guard and took on punches that I don't think amateur boxers would even
take.
I'll watch the 45.

We're going to move on.
We'll get that.
Okay.
There's a big fucking prisoner swap to happen with Russia.
We're going to be talking about that.
I got to pee.
Fuck.
This is a very good afternoon.
Very good afternoon.
Today, we're bringing on Paul, Evan, also, Vladimir, three American citizens and one
American green card holder.
All four have been imprisoned unjustly in Russia.
Paul for nearly six years.
Vladimir since 2022, Evan since March of 2023, analysis since October of 2023.
Russian authorities arrested them, convicted them in show trials, and sentenced them to long
prison terms.
There's absolutely no legitimate reason whatsoever, none.
Paul, a former Marine, was in Russia for a wedding.
Evan, a journalist with Russia in Russia, was in Russia.
signed by the Wall Street Journal. Also, also a journalist was in Russia to see family.
All three falsely accused of being spies. And Vladimir was a Russian citizen by birth
and holds an American green card. So Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and was a Paul bearer
of my friend John McCain's funeral with me. He spoke out against Putin's regime.
And for that, he was convicted of treason.
And now, their brutal ordeal is over, and they're free.
Moments ago, the families and I were able to speak to them on the telephone, from the
Oval Office.
They're out of Russia.
Earlier today, they're flown to Turkey, and soon they'll be wheels up on their
way home to see their families.
This is an incredible relief for all the family members gathered here, and it's
Let's go. Oh, Turkey mentioned also Paul Wayland, what a Hondo P was a spy and not even a good
one at that. So make no mistake on that. Like Evan Greer, perfectly valid, right? Like Evan
Greer, perfectly valid to, to be released. Like, like it was ridiculous that he was even
fucking arrested to begin with classic fucking Russian bullshit. Okay. Classic Russian government
Bullshit Paul Whelan on the other hand straight up a spy. It is so funny that like it is so funny that people were just like
Oh, you don't understand that man is a passport enthusiast. Okay. That's why he had like eight passports on him
Like no, he was a spy. He was not even a good spy for the record
like
So fuck out of here, dude. Yeah, he was called red handed with defense in style Intel and classified documents. He was like, oh, I'm just
I'm just actually
Simply going to my friend's wedding and we're enthusiasts of classified intelligence
Yeah, but Evan ridiculous Evan was like a Britney Griner type situation
straight up like
He got he got locked away specifically for politics, right?
like he they they locked his ass up because he
He was a journalist reporting on the fucking news in Russia,
unacceptable, completely unacceptable,
classic, classic fucking bullshit, okay?
Didn't you buy a flash drive from an FSB agent?
Yes.
Friends and colleagues all across the country
who've been praying for this day for a long time.
The deal that made this possible
was the feat of diplomacy and friendship,
friendship
multiple countries help get this done
they joined a difficult complex negotiations at my request
and i personally
thank them all again i thank them personally
though they had the paul william
do honestly the paul william story so funny not really was just going to a
wedding suddenly someone throw those things on his lap
that's how things work in russia
how you throw the top of the our outbreak in our face
reviving
i thought we were vibing
I thought you were making a funny joke. Why do you do this to me? Why must you do this
to me? Law dude at a wholesome moment with us on and then just dashed them is fuck is
fucked to do that. It's fucked to do that shit. Okay. Here's the three minute outbreak.
Now you can avoid. You can avoid seeing those as long as you subscribe for $5 or
for free. Bro went into it full chest to think it was a joke. 10, 10 get played
nerd? Yeah, I mean it was funny. Not a fan of gender binary. Thank you for the five gift
and subs. Thank them again. All told, Russia's released 16 prisoners. Eight Russians were
being held in the West will be sent home as well. These 16 prisoners from Russia had
that Russia's relation include four Americans, five Germans, seven Russian citizens who are
political prisoners in their own country. One of those Russians runs the Human Rights
Organization Memorial, which won a Nobel Prize in 2022, including Thurman Prison, a voice
in opposition to war in Ukraine. Four others were, bro, they should release a Twitch
streamer. Holy shit. There was literally a Twitch streamer that's like talking about
Butcha that got fucking got did they release her?
There was a Russian Twitch streamer that literally got fucking arrested and put in prison for talking about what Russia was doing in Butcha
It's crazy shit. Yeah, I mean, this is like one of the million different fucking reasons why I'm not like
You know, I never pushed the and regularly shit on Vladimir Putin and and also genuinely
I mean, genuinely afraid of like going to a country like Russia in general, but like,
like it's not, you know, America's involvement in Ukraine aside, Ukraine is absolutely in
the right for wanting to rid its nation state of this invasion.
But yeah, here it is Moscow times, Russian troops from the jailed 55 years with a bunch
of testimonies.
Like this is, or not 55, 5.5 years.
This is completely unacceptable. Okay. Ridiculous. Moscow court on Wednesday sentenced to shimmer
Anna Anna Buzzo tova to five and a half years in prison for life from your witness testimony
about alleged Russian atrocities in the Ukrainian city of Butchha. It's fucked up. It's disgusting
and vile. The 30 year old Buzzo tova speaking for the glass defense box said in reaction
to ruling against her. The Austin Kino district court in northern Moscow found the shimmer
guilty of spreading fake information about the Russian army on our Twitch channel.
This is a harsh sentence. We will appeal Boshtar Tovah's lawyer Andre never have said
Kiva queues is the Russian military carrying out a massacre of civilians of butchers during its retreat in spring 2022
Moscow rejects these allegations of claims the killings were staged by the West
staged sure okay anyway
You are 1000% on Russia's and Israel's lives you know that right I mean I
Hope not. I love Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Nenyev. Please don't kill me. Okay
Okay.
Key of accuses, Russian military, I push the, I push the, I am Israel, hi, okay.
I'm Israel, hi, please.
I'm on a lot of list to be honest, like it is not really much you can do about it.
If you're a fucking person of integrity and honesty, it's just gonna, it is gonna be
what it is.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm pro Israel.
Don't kill me.
Yeah.
Um, let's get back to the story.
with Alexei Navalny, political opposition either who died in Russia prison this year.
Now they can live safely abroad and continue their work of advocating for democracy if they
so choose.
This deal would not have been made possible without our allies.
Germany, Poland, Slovenia, Norway, and Turkey, they all stepped up, and they stood with
us.
They stood with us.
And they made bold and brave decisions.
prisoners being held in their countries are justifiably being helped and provide a logistical
support to get the Americans home. So if anyone have questions,
most of these, most of the youths, most of the youths, most of the youths, most of the
youths, most of the youths, most of the youths. You see that? He said Turkey, bro.
The world trembles at the at the mention, the mere mention of the word Slovenia.
No, the word trembles at the mere thought of how much turkey participated in this.
Do you understand?
He said it multiple times now.
He said it multiple fucking times, bro.
He said, turkey, we couldn't have done it without you.
I'll take it.
I'll take it.
That's right.
That's the motherfucking leader of the free world, bro.
I'll put some respect on it.
Meanwhile, Israel's like, ehh, get turkey out of NATO, shut the fuck up bitch.
I don't hear your word, I don't hear your name being mentioned in this process.
All I hear is turkey turkey turkey, put us back on the F-35 program, fuck it dude.
Allies matter, they do, they matter, and today's a powerful example of why it's
vital to our friends in this world, and friends you can trust, work with and depend upon.
That's right baby, that's right, and then it's gonna come over.
This is an unimaginably racist, uh, ultra nationalist song, but it kind of goes hard.
Turkish ultra nationalism is so fucking funny to me because it's like, bro, it's basically
borderline furry adjacent.
you're talking about how the Pan-Turkic race is like, um, the Pan-Turkic race is so supreme
that 40 Turks are worth the entirety of China. And it's just like, it's silly, you know what
I mean? It's like watching the fucking Indian fascists like do workouts, where they do like
jump rope and shit. It has that same energy. Even though they're, you know, aggressive,
violent awful in general, but okay. All right. There's a specific niche that understands what
you're saying right now. Put it in terms of American hogs. So I may enjoy it as well.
Ultra nationalism, especially in a country like Turkey is not something that I can explain to
Americans because there's no like, like Americans are too invested in eating jalapeno poppers to
to have like a sense of hyper nationalistic sentiment.
The average Turkish person will beat the shit out of you
if you like desecrate the flag.
It is illegal to do so.
Like the average Turkish was the most liberal
fucking Turkish person.
That's why I kind of understand where, you know,
the leftist Israelis are coming from
whenever they fucking talk.
America is too global of a force,
too dominant worldwide and too invested in capitalism to have like a sense of nationalistic,
like a sense of national identity. After all, look at this shit, bro, bro, you want to know
a great example of this fucking American saying that like Simone Biles is trans. There is
no world in which in Turkey, there is no world in which or in any other country where
where they would ever let you do that shit.
If you came out and were like,
oh, I'm gonna do my own weird culture war thing,
when your country is fucking metal winning,
there is no world they would beat the fuck out of you.
They would literally, they'd be like, shut the fuck up.
That's why you see the Algerian,
like look at the Algerian football club account.
Like that's a perfect,
that is a perfect demonstration
of like America's lack of like real nationalistic sentiment.
Like it's just not even like there's no world.
Yeah, you like this is what many countries
don't have things, right?
Many countries don't have things.
They don't have the nice things that Americans have
and take for granted on a daily basis.
So this is the one thing that they have, right?
So the Olympics is pretty fucking important for them.
So they would never allow in a million fucking years
to let you disparage their gold medal winning athlete.
America's on the other hand,
are so invested in their own like minutiae,
their weird culture war issues, shit like that,
that they literally will rip into their own fucking athletes.
They'll talk about like how, oh, I can't believe LeBron,
I can't believe fucking LeBron is the flag bearer.
Like that is a completely unacceptable take.
especially matters of great consequence and sensitivity like this.
Our alliances make our people safer, and we begin to see that again today.
Let me say this.
It says a lot about the United States that we work relentlessly to free Americans who
are unjustly held around the world.
It also says a lot about us that this deal includes the release of Russian political
prisoners.
They stood up for democracy and human rights.
Their own leaders stood them in prison.
The United States helped secure their release as well.
That's who we are in the United States.
We stand for freedom, for liberty, for justice,
not only for our own people, but for others as well.
And that's why all Americans can take pride
in what we've achieved today.
I want to thank everyone in my administration.
I hope this makes this happen.
Our work did not start just on day one.
It started before day one.
During the transition, I instructed our national security team
to dig into all the cases of hostages being wrongfully
detained, which were inherently, well,
we inherited them from the private administration.
I wanted to make sure we get the ground running, and we did.
As of today, my administration brought home over 70 Americans
wrongfully detained in Hill Hostage Abroad. Many, since before I took office,
additionally I issued an executive order in 2022 authorizing penalties like sanctions and travel
bans on those who hold Americans against their will. And my State Department has introduced
new warnings for Americans about the risk of being wrongfully detained by a foreign government.
It feels like this one come with tough calls, and there are never any guarantees.
If there's nothing that matters more to me than protecting Americans at home and abroad,
and so we'll continue to work with the needs of all wrongfully detained Americans around
the world.
Let me end where I began with Paul, Evan, and Alisa of Vladimir and their families.
They never gave up hope.
You can't imagine what they've been through all of it.
And in fact, this lady right here, I think still in the Oval Office.
Walk in the side.
Can't imagine their joy.
I'm in fucker.
Even if there is really actually like, bro, bro,
there's like a shit ton of American Israeli dual citizens
that are still fucking apprehended.
And this dumb fuck can't even put together a goddamn ceasefire
and hostage release program because our our our unsinkable aircraft carrier in
the Middle East has decided that they're gonna be dog walking us in broad daylight
publicly their home tomorrow is a big day the 13th birthday of Mary Mary
Murray you all know we have a tradition in the Biden family we sing happy
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.
Remember, no serious guys to your 30.
God love you.
She's also his daughter.
Now she gets to celebrate with her mom.
That's what this is all about. Families able to be together again, like they should have been all along.
So I want to thank you again to everyone who did their part. In just a few hours, we'll welcome home our fellow Americans.
We're looking forward to that. God willing, we're going to be out at Andrews and get that done.
So thank you, thank you, thank you, and this is a good day.
What did you say when they answered the phone on the other side?
I said welcome almost home.
So called abductors states who said we're taking more Americans in order to get more
of their personal health and these perversion sentence.
So are advising people not to go certain places.
Bro, the American media is so insane.
Come on, man.
This is like, this is a good thing, man.
I said this with Brittany Griner, but how fucking for wreak like are you?
You're literally staring at the hostage families and being like, Hey, um, the president, you're
just giving a perverse incentive for these countries to capture more American citizens
because you will inevitably release, you know, Russian prisoners out there, but has it's
It's like, bro, their fucking families are right there, bro.
Have some decency, dude.
What the fuck?
That's insane.
Like, that's insane.
It's a good thing.
It is always objectively a good thing to release hostages.
OK?
What the fuck?
You are one boring streamer.
You go to one.
Tell them what's at risk.
What's at stake?
So President, you have a lot of different negotiations.
And can you speak to the complexities
of working with six countries to support the revolution.
Well look, I might take the time now
and I'll do this later in the week.
Say it, Turkey made that shit easy as hell.
I particularly owe a great sense of gratitude
to the chancellor.
The demands they were making in May required me
to get some significant concessions from Germany,
which they originally concluded they could not do
because of the person in question.
But everybody stepped up, Poland stepped up,
Slovenia stepped up, Turkey stepped up.
Yeah.
And it matters to have relationships.
It really does.
Turkey stepped up.
Pardon me.
Could this improve relations with Russia?
Is there any avenue for that after this personal exchange deal?
Good question.
Not a bad question, a good question.
Why is that a good question?
Because up until this moment,
The posturing from our State Department has been no talks with Russia whatsoever. That's unacceptable. We can't even talk to them.
You have to. That's it. You have to get together. China, Russia, Ukraine, and all of Ukraine's allies of the table
in order to put together a ceasefire that will be acceptable by every party in an effort to avoid further death. That's it.
And the American government has kept saying like, no, no, no, we can't talk to them.
We can't talk to them.
We can't talk to them.
We can't talk to them.
We can't talk to them.
And it's actually been, it's actually been genuinely bad.
They have to do that.
So I think that's a good question.
As my sister might say, you lips to God's ears, man.
I don't need to speak with them.
Bro, you are the leader of the free world dog.
What are we talking about?
Like, dude, dude, Nixon's administration normalized relations with China.
Like, every American president has at some point communicated with the USSR.
What are we doing?
Like are you a fucking child?
What is this?
I hate this narrative man.
No, it's not Chad to be like, oh I don't need to speak with him.
No, it's lamest fuck dude, you have to do diplomacy.
You have to do diplomacy.
I got home innocent people.
Alright.
Thank you.
All right, thank you very much.
Here's a nice token of all of you.
I'm glad to meet you as a father.
Look, let me say this before.
I mean, my dad had a simple proposition.
family's the beginning, the middle, and the end.
All of my blood, bone, and my bones.
I can't think of nothing more consequential.
I mean, as a sailor, and having lost family in a different way,
not knowing what's happening, the circumstances of the accident,
the help, it, uh, it matters.
Mr. President, what did Germany ask for in response to their cooperation?
Nothing.
President Trump has repeatedly said that he could have gotten the hostages out without giving anything in exchange.
What do you say to that? What do you say to President Trump now, to our president?
Why didn't he do it? He's president.
Sir, what are you saying?
Good line, actually. Russia would just make it ridiculous to offer the show of how much the U.S. doesn't want peace as useless.
Bro, what are you talking about? Chad McFart?
But even if that's the case, the idea that we're not letting that happen is so insane.
Like, oh man, okay, Chad McFart, I guess we should be getting fucking diplomacy lessons
from Chad McFart.
Like, what the fuck are you saying, brother?
Anyway, objectively a good thing, genuinely a good thing to do a release of political
prisoners being held hostage and even some fucking spies like Paul Whelan, you know,
that's good shit. Trump is expected, won't take a moment to praise the return of the
hostages. As he says, just Biden got fleeced. Of course you're going to say that.
So when are they going to release the details of the prisoner swap with the reshare?
How many people do we get versus them? Are we also paying them cash? Are they giving us cash?
Please withdraw that question because I'm sure the answer is no. Are we releasing murderers killers or thugs?
Just curious. Oh, ew. He said just curious. Oh god. Oh god
Just curious because we never make good deals at anything, but especially hostage swaps
Our negotiators are always an embarrassment to us. I got back
many hostages and gave the opposing country nothing and never any cash to do
so as a bad president for the future that's the way it should be or the
situation will get worse and worse they're extorting the United States of
America and they're calling the trade complex that's so nobody can figure out
how bad it is this is an ABC News special report I'm with Johnson in
New York were spies and one assassin classical was convicted by a German court in 2019 killing
of zealom hong for Nikkei congo shevely an ethnic Chechen of Georgia nationality in a
Berlin park. Oh they did. They got Germany to fucking release actual straight up murderers
huh. What a historic prisoner swap means for a lot of our prudence Russia. Damn.
Okay, no. No way. I'm going to coming back on the air with breaking news, a multinational
prisoner exchange involving the U.S. and Russia, one of the largest prisoner swaps since the end
of the Cold War. We're talking about decades here. ABC News has learned former U.S. Marine Paul
Whelan and Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovic are being released. Just two weeks
ago, Gershkovic was sentenced to 16 years in prison for espionage during what the U.S.
called the sham trial. You'll remember, Whelan was also convicted of spying, which he has
strongly denied. He was arrested in December of 2018.
Yeah, that motherfucker was a spy. That motherfucker was a spy 100%. And not even a good one too.
He was just not even a good ass spy. He was a bad spy, bro. The conditions of his release,
or the conditions of his capture, straight up bad spy. Like that's a bad trade in general.
Obviously, a lot of people are gonna say like no, you know, Brittany Griner can dunk like
she's actually a fucking pretty solid player overall in the WMDA whereas like, obviously
in exchange for Brittany Griner, America had to release the Lord of War, but like technically
in that situation, the Lord of War was just a dude who we captured for competing with
us in terms of arm sales, like the merchant of death, like Victor boot wasn't kidnapped
for like doing shit that we deemed illegal. He was kidnapped for doing the same shit that
we're doing, but like out competing us, right? So that was ultimately a good trade in general,
I think. But in this situation, like we're not even getting a good spy back. You know what I mean?
We're getting like a bad spy Evan totally valid totally just you know what I mean like that's ridiculous that he was fucking kidnapped and was a political prisoner
Like I'm not even talking about his like, uh, I don't know skills in reporting or whatever, but like paul wailin is a bad spy
But he's not a good spy. He's a bad spy and we're like releasing a fucking killer
Straight up like a like a hardcore
like, look at that face. I'm just saying like probably not worth, but hey, whatever.
The US has tried to include him in other prisoner swaps, including the release of WNBA star
Brittany Griner, only to be rejected by Moscow. President Biden has made it winning the release
of detained Americans in Russia, a top priority since taking office. And again, these details
just coming in. Let's get right to ABC's chief White House correspondent, Mary Bruce.
We know it's a fluid situation, Mary, but what are you learning now?
Well, wait, this is the largest and most complex prisoner exchange since the end of the Cold
War.
This has taken months of detailed, painstaking negotiations.
The president himself deeply involved in these conversations.
We are told that he has been monitoring this in near real time throughout this morning.
I'm...
I literally never talk about Paul Whalen's like background at all, like, like, what
did he do, bro?
It's like with Evan Gerskiewicz. It's like pretty obvious what happened. Evan is a Washington
general reporter and they fucking, they literally kidnapped them. They kidnapped them straight
up. They, they kidnapped them for political reason. Paul Wailer on the other hand, like
that was before the Ukraine stuff. Like, you know what I mean? Like that was pretty
sure that was like way before the Ukraine stuff, actually,
I'm also told that the president this morning here in the Oval Office gathered the families
of the Americans that are being released today. He wanted to give that news to them himself.
They are, as you mentioned, of course, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gerskovich. He
has been held since March of 2023. He was just sentenced last month to 16 years
in a penal colony in that secret trial that had absolutely no public proof. Also
Former US Marine Paul Whelan. He has been held for five and a half years also on similar espionage charges that the US and
No, there's not similar espionage charges, bro. He was a spot
Yo, I'm sorry, dude. Like come on. God the media is so fucking lame. Like no, he was definitely a spy bro. Come on
Bro has six passports, dude
He had six passports. He got nabbed literally purchasing a fucking
USB key with classified intel from an FSB guy
What do you mean?
He was just there fellas
Don't you don't you love going to Russia for a wedding that you're attending and you just get caught
You just get caught with a fucking USB that you try to purchase for cash
Russia said it caught James Bond on a spy mission. Okay. They literally, in reality, they abducted
Mr. Bean on a holiday. Paul Whalen, a man of many passports. Yeah, he's also originally
a Canadian. Whalen began visiting Russia while stationed in Iraq and returned frequently
to tour the country. Paul Whalen even had a Russian social media account, VK, Russia's
equivalent of Facebook. When he was working in Novi, Michigan as the director of global
security for an automated parts supplier, but he said he returned to Moscow to help
a friend with his wedding to a Russian woman.
There are varying reports of the what happened on that fateful day on December, 28, 2018.
Many outstanding questions about the flash drive, Paul Weyland's Russian friends and
whether he will be allowed to serve as time in the U S.
Weyland told reports of the SPN on charge involved accusation that he was working for
the U S defense intelligence agency. When he obtained a flash drive from a friend
containing the names of Russian border guards in his defense, he said he thought the
flash drive contained holiday photos and he hadn't yet looked at it when he was ambushed
by Moscow security services in his hotel room. Who amongst us has not been caught in a situation
like this when you're just like, Oh, I just want this USB flash drive from my friend.
Oops, it has classified Intel. Hope you Russian native has been completely true. A guy who's
working in the private sector and as a security analyst, former Marine with eight passports,
six passports, who was visiting his friend's wedding in Russia that literally had an interaction
with the FSB agent with cash on hand was actually, it's just a Russian narrative.
I don't understand why people like you try to make a big deal about things that every
human being likes to do passport collection and collecting flash drives.
I think you guys are really silly.
You're inflating his passport count like your haters blow up your house value.
Bro, he has an Irish citizenship, Canadian, American.
He has like three other, doesn't he?
How many, how many passwords do they have?
A British one.
Also, this is the other reason why I know he was a spy.
Okay.
So he had a, he had a, a report where he talked to the BBC where he said he felt he was left behind by the US government.
They basically abandoned me here. He told BBC by phone. I'm extremely concerned with each case.
My case is going to the back of the line. They've kind of just left me in the dust.
And at this point, this juncture is very concerning. Yeah, dude, because you're a fucking spy and you got got.
he told the BBC that his days are occupied stitching work overalls and hats in a prison factory
huh you are throwing shade at this man who was just collecting items for his mission impossible cosplay
yeah i just think it's you know silly to act like he wasn't a spy you know america did it they got
the trade off they popped off of the fucking trade but come on now we land and grisco it's also
really funny where people accuse me of like believing the russian framing on a situation
When I literally talked about Evan Gershko, which being unjustly prosecuted in a sham trial
and being kidnapped as a political pawn and a political prisoner, a prisoner moments prior
to having this conversation about Paul Weiland. And also on top of that, I talked about the
Twitch streamer, the Russian Twitch streamer who was arrested and is sent currently serving
a five and a half year prison sentence, and how fucking ridiculous that is.
So clearly, it doesn't make sense that I'm just like abiding by, weirdly, the Russian
narrative on some things and not on others.
It can't be something else.
It can't be the fact that like, I think it's a really fishy situation with Paul
Whalen.
Which I've all fiercely denied.
Also being released, also Kermashiva, she's a Russian-American journalist who has been
held for nearly a year.
And Vladimir Karamurza is a Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post columnist, a prominent Kremlin
critic.
We are told all four of them are now making their way back home.
All told, 16 individuals held in Russia will be freed, and eight individuals held by
the U.S., Germany, Norway, Slovenia, and Poland will also be returned to Russia.
Turkey also playing a logistical role here.
This is the culmination, we are told, of many complex rounds of negotiations.
This ultimately went up to the president having detailed negotiations himself, leader to leader.
It became very clear several months ago that Russia was not going to be willing to engage
in any kind of prisoner exchange without the release of Vadim Krasikov, he of course is
a Russian operative, a convicted murderer and he is being held or was being held in
Bro, he was assassin like he was literally a straight-up FSB hitman
Like that's it that's where he was oh
The Kremlin narrative but wait what did the liberals think about that? Do they think he was also?
Are the liberals coping on that and being like no, he's actually unjustly prosecuted. He's not even a hitman
Germany that meant that the president would have to get on the phone and
and actually reach out to the German Chancellor.
The president so involved with what we are told
that he was actually making calls on this
in the hour before he decided to drop out
of the presidential race with.
And I do want to let you know one other update
that was just handed to me here.
The president is going to be coming before cameras
in a little over 20 minutes at noon
to deliver remarks on the freeing
of the Americans detained in Russia with.
All right, Mary Bruce, stand by for us.
We know those details still coming in right now.
And you mentioned Turkey.
Let's go ahead.
I believe we have a shot from the airport in Ankara.
We don't have that anymore, but we know that intelligence agency there officials were telling
us that they played a coordinating role between the countries, and that likely that tarmac
at the airport was a place where this prisoner swap was going to happen.
Again, we had some pictures coming in, we're going to stay on top of that.
Let's bring in Tom Sufi Burrage, who's been following the developments overseas.
Tom Mary mentioned Vadim Krasikov. Of course, he was serving that life sentence in Germany
for gunning down a Kremlin opponent in Berlin. That was back in 2019. Now Putin himself through
the series of a number of interviews had suggested that any prisoner swap needed to include
him. What more are you learning?
You know, we know where Vadim Krasikov was absolutely key to this deal taking place.
Vladimir Putin saying so himself and U.S. officials confirming that Vadim Krasikov,
As you say.
I'm going to mention the most boring as place I've ever been to.
Sorry, House, bro.
I do not disagree with you at all.
It's what is this?
Holy shit.
This is huge Russian lives on train started reporting on these guys getting lost in the
system shipped off from their designated camps that inform their lawyers or families
that could have meant exchange for Navalny, exchange or Navalny scenario, logistic
it wasn't the latter.
I think it's kind of wild that like the American government is releasing Russian nationals
from Russian prison.
Like that's so wild, bro.
Like we're playing on their turf at this point.
We're like, Hey man, you know, we got a bunch of Americans out, but like, can you get
some of those Russians out too?
Gun down a Chechen dissident in a park just over there here in Berlin five years
ago. He was serving a life sentence here in a German prison, and he is one of the key people
to be returned to Russia. Also an individual from Norway, also from an individual from
Poland. And critically and fascinatingly, a couple, a Russian couple being held in Slovenia.
Yesterday, all of a sudden, that couple pleading guilty to espionage charges in a Slovenian
court. According to Slovenian officials, they were leading a double life with an
Argentinian fake identity. Their kids also returned in in this prison a swap.
It's so funny. Look at the way they're covering. Look at the way they cover the
Russian spies who are objectively spies. Versus American spy, Paul Whalen. Just
a regular old passport enthusiast from Canada, originally in the Marine Corps,
a former Marine was arrested for visiting his friend's wedding.
It's like the double standard is so fucking glaring.
Come on, dude.
All right, Tom, thank you.
Let's bring in Martha Raditz, our chief global affairs correspondent, who's joining us on
the phone right now.
And Martha, what does this say the fact that the-
They were my neighbors in Slovenia.
I'm not even joking.
Whoa, that's crazy.
Were they chill?
U.S. and Russia can negotiate successfully under difficult terms like this.
Well, I do truth to all this is very separate from any relationship we have with Russia.
are obviously still incredibly tense because of Ukraine, especially, but this is an incredibly
good sign that they can still cooperate on matters like this.
Wasn't there a report where Trump didn't want to make a deal to get him for that very reason
that he thought he sucked at spying? I don't remember that, but it could be.
That could be a very real Trump thing. But that literally, that sounds so much like Trump,
bro. That sounds so much like Donald Trump, but also it could just simply mean, it could simply mean,
it could simply be a bit that I did. What I think one question is why Putin did this now.
He obviously felt very strongly about getting Kravnikov back, especially the assassin. And I
think when you go into that kind of job in Russia, you are almost promised that they will do
of everything possible to get you out
and they can certainly recruit more after that.
But as we know, Joe Biden has been working on this
for a very long time and his team
to try to get Evan Gershkovich and Paul Wheelan back.
The families have also been so critical
and so key in all of this.
They did not let anyone forget that Evan and Paul
the others. And there was always talk of the others. We want the least possibly, but ain't
nobody give a fuck about Paul, dude. Nobody was talking about Paul. Everybody was talking
about Evan, which makes sense. Cause it was unjust. The families and the Wall Street
Journal certainly for Evan just kept the focus on these prisoners and said they would
do absolutely anything so people did not forget that they were held so long.
So the family certainly celebrating this morning, they soon to be arrival of their family members with.
Yeah, just an agonizing wait for these families as these negotiations played out behind the scenes.
Martha, thank you. Let's go back to Mary Bruce at the White House as you're getting more detail
because Mary, you talked about how President Biden himself had been involved.
these negotiations were going on behind the scenes. Obviously there was that high-profile prisoner swap
with Brittany Greiner a while back and then there was a setback after the death of Alexei Navalny.
There was some question as to whether he could be involved in a swap going forward.
What else can you tell us about how we got to this point today and the president's involvement?
Well, we are actually now hearing from the president. He has just put out a paper statement
saying the deal that secured their freedom was a feat of diplomacy. He said some of these
men and women have been unjustly held for years saying all have endured unimaginable suffering
and uncertainty. The president saying today I'm Paul watching this in tears right now.
That's the other thing. Now we know why Navalny mysteriously died for the record
because like it didn't make any sense why he was just like merked out of nowhere
in the middle of like like in an upcoming election and shit. It's not like he had any
juice, like now we know, now we know why he was fucking merked. I think they just literally
were like, yeah, the hostage negotiations are happening. They're going to want to get
Navalny out. We don't want that to happen. So we're just going to deal with it ourselves.
And they just cooked his ass. This, in my opinion, this literally shows like, it didn't
make any sense at the time. Like why Putin would do this? Even though it was definitely
something that he did. Now it makes a lot more sense why he did it. Because he didn't
want him, he didn't want him to be a bargaining chip in the negotiations process, which is
still like kind of wild. I guess he suspect dude, the US killed him on accident. No,
it wasn't the United States get out of here, dude. Come on. Do you not like onions?
No, I love onions.
I took onions from a different package and put it in this.
So I have more onions in my salad.
I don't think that fucking,
I don't think that the US has like, pull like that,
that they could just like assassinate a liberal,
possibly CIA operative in a fucking Russian prison
in the middle of nowhere.
Hey, their agony is over.
He goes on to thank all of the allies
who were involved in this thing.
This is a powerful example of how vital it is
to have friends in the world who you can trust and depend on.
And then he goes on with a strong message to those
who are still being wrongfully detained,
saying, let me be clear, I will not stop working
until every American wrongfully detained
or held hostage around the world
is reunited with their family.
He says, even as we are now celebrating
the return of these Americans,
he says that his message to all of those
still being detained in their families,
we see you, we are with you, with.
Mary Bruce and our entire team, thank you.
Once again, President Biden expected
make some remarks on this the prison. It is kind of funny. I mean, this would be like,
there's no equivalency because like the January sixers actually did some fucked up shit. But
it would be like if Putin demanded Biden release the January six political prisoners.
Oh my God, why doesn't Trump say that? Oh my God, Donald Trump should say that. That's
such a good attack line to like sully this entire deal to be like, why the fuck
are you releasing a guy who merked someone in broad daylight? Okay. In the middle of a
fucking German street. And what do you get a return? You release, you get Putin to release
fucking Russian nationals from prison. So fuck the fuck kind of businesses I have to
do with you. And then he should say, I never released Paul Weyland because he was
a bad spy is he was a bad spy, worst of all. And then he should tie that up to like, how
about Biden released the political prisoners that are American in all caps in the United
States of America? That's right. I'm talking about the January 6 prisoners that are unjustly
serving sentences. They saw sham trials like the sham trial that I saw, but the American
people are waking up.
There's no swap unprecedented we haven't seen anything like this since the end of the Cold War when that happens we'll break back in but for now our coverage continues on ABC News live in ABC News dot com a full wrap up on World News tonight. So for now we'll send you back to regular
programming and in some parts of the country that's good morning America. I'm with Johnson in New York. Have a great day.
This has been a special report from ABC News.
Matthew Chance is in London. Matthew, you know, when you think about how all this happened and I referenced some, you know, changes at the FSB's service, you also have, as so central to this, we know Vladimir Putin wanted the return of an assassin who is serving a life sentence in Germany, the name Krasikov, and that there were some in the German government who did not want to do this.
All these pieces and players had to come into place at the right time, with the right conversations,
for this to happen.
But yet, ultimately, Matthew, Vladimir Putin had to say yes.
And why do you think he said yes now?
I think this is a great deal for Vladimir Putin, and he has managed to basically get
back a Kremlin assassin, a colonel in the FSB, who killed in broad daylight a Chechen
dissidents in the center of the German capital in exchange, as well as a lot of other people
as well.
I think that's worse than Victor Boot.
Like Victor Boot is a high profile get for the American State Department, but like he's
been out of commission for fucking multiple generations at this point.
He's just going to go on Russian television and be a mouthpiece, right?
And also he was arrested for like arms trafficking
When we are supposed to be doing the arm trafficking like he was arrested as competition basically like
Whereas this guy was an active assassin
It's pretty wild. It also shows how unimaginably cucked Germany is to America
Why can't we do this shit?
Why can't we do this for Israel? Can we just like make Israel stop?
Like, that's Germany is so fucking cocked up America.
We just made one fucking phone call. We were like, hey, release this guy
who did a hit.
It releases Russian hitman who did a hit in fucking broad daylight in Germany.
It was like, okay, fine.
Russia is interested in and may have information that Russia wants to keep
to keep to itself and not be disclosed to its rivals. In exchange, for a group of individuals
who for all intents and purposes did nothing wrong, people like Evan Gershkovich who was
doing his job as a journalist, he was accused and convicted of espionage of spying for the
CIA, but he categorically denied it as did the US government. Paul Whelan as well,
former Marine who's been in a Russian jail for the best part of the past six years. He
was in Moscow attending a wedding and he was accused and convicted and sentenced to six.
I love our media so much. I love our media so much. Like, dude, I don't think Evan is
a fucking spy, by the way. I think he, he got clapped because wrong place, wrong
time not allowed to be an American journalist in Russia. Okay. But Paul, wait. Come on,
man.
16 years of for spying as well. And so, yes, this is a big tactical victory on the part
of the United States. They're bringing these kids. You think they're saying similar shit
about their assassin in Germany, Russia? Fuck no, they're like, yo, our big dog just
merked some fucking Chechen monster and we just got them they're gonna be doing fucking victory labs
That's what they did with Victor boot
That's literally what they did with Victor boot. They brought him back. They wheeled him out immediately did it RT
Immediately became like a Putinist
Talking guy not RT, but whatever whichever fucking Russian channel that he was on
people hope
But you know strategically
This is a vindication, I think, for Vladimir Putin of his strategy of taking bargaining chips
and using them to extract as big a concession as possible from the United States and from
the West at large.
And so, you know, this is an important day.
It's an emotional day.
But it's also a day that has involved a substantial amount of moral compromise on the part of
the West to get these people back.
Let's get some perspective for our more experts now.
joined by CNN Chief National Security Correspondent Alex Markward alongside CNN Global Affairs
Analyst Kimberly Dozier and we're also joined by NATO's former Supreme Allied Commander General
Wesley Clark.
Thank you all for being with us.
Alex, take us through how the next few hours are going to play out when these prisoners
finally get to the United States.
So thankfully we're past the hardest part.
The exchange has taken place, the prisoners are heading home to their respective countries.
When it comes to the United States, they are going to be coming home and then offered
medical and psychological services.
Now MJ mentioned there that President Biden is expected to go out to Andrews, Joint Base
Andrews.
So we could see these four, the three Americans plus Vladimir Karamuza who's a green card
holder coming to the East Coast, but they will be offered the opportunity to go out
to San Antonio, Texas.
the Brooke Army Medical Center is part of the big.
It'll never not be weird to me that like that man
that you're seeing on camera,
not this guy, but General Wesley Clark,
his son was a co-host of mine at the Young Turk.
He has a Defense Department complex in their system.
And they have a special program called PISA, P-I-S-A,
that is designed to help people essentially get back
on their feet after traumatic events.
This is something that Brittany Griner, for example,
went through and Trevor Reed was offered.
And so oftentimes we will see people
planning in San Antonio, Texas. I think that the obviously family reunions are
going to be their biggest priority. We saw some of the family members there
with President Biden. And so after that, they will be given all of the
necessary things that they will that they may need to adjust and get back
on their feet. So this is a tremendously happy moment. Obviously Paul
Williams family waiting for almost six years since he was arrested in 2018.
Evan Gershkovich's family having to deal with his conviction last month to 16
years in a Russian penal colony. Thankfully, just over a month later, he
and and the other three are coming back to the US. Yeah, and the details.
Takes up women's rights.
Ridiculous women would vote for a man to beat them up in sports. When
will this end when a lady dies in the ring? Stick up six of her women's
Watches women get beat to death in a boxing ring
Dude, what kind of pussy ass shit is this? We're watching boxing bitch
So fuck do you mean?
If you're watching women's boxing and you see one woman born a woman still a woman cis woman
Beat another woman in 45 seconds because the other woman had to quit and you're defending the one who had to quit and
claiming the other person
Was a beating her to death and also secretly a man. You're just a bitch
You're a dumbass bitch. You are a pussy. You are a bitch.
You are too sensitive for this world. Go cry.
Okay, Mike the killer, 316.
I'm subhuman because I don't want to see biological men beat up women.
No, you're subhuman because you are literally fucking hallucinating a reality.
You're so goddamn transphobic and such a fucking bitch.
such a motherfucking snowflake that you literally have
imagine a reality where a cis woman is beating the shit out of another cis woman
and you have decided that that person actually is a man
and you're running along with that.
Law, you guys are freaking clowns. I said trans should not be beating up woman.
Shut your bitch ass up bro.
That was not a trans woman, okay?
that was not a trans woman and you're fucking over here being like oh I don't
like it still trans that's the funniest thing that people have been doing
law call anyone a trans mother doesn't agree with you yes bro of course I'm
gonna call you a fucking trans fob because you're dumbass nah fuck you
you're a bitch oh am I a bitch well unlike you I'm not fucking over here
crying okay I'd knock all your pussies out no you wouldn't you're a fucking
internet warrior who literally is scared is scared bunch of soy boys yeah
exactly Mike the killer 316 call the motherfuckers a bunch of soy boys online
he's so goddamn scared that he saw a Brawler woman for once and immediately
went that's a trans woman that's a man that's a man that's a trans woman that's
I'm in. But yeah, I know all of these people in this community are the actual pussies. Take
a shirt off. No, it's fine. I'll let my fucking I'll let my photo speak for itself.
Pussy of just the scope of this and the secrecy of it came fascinating as the Wall Street
Journal has reported this in the wake of Alexi Navalny's death. There was this shuttle
diplomacy of paper only proposals that were being hand delivered between NSA Jake Sullivan's
office and his counterpart in Germany. I mean, this was sort of the secrecy of it. How different
is something like this just because of the sheer size of it? It reminds me actually of the planning
of the Osama bin Laden mission that they kept it in a very small group of people. And yet,
I'm also thinking about the relief and the elation of that small group of people who've
been working on this. That has to include not just the National Security Advisors Office,
but Roger Carstens, the hostage envoy
and his team from the State Department.
Now, Roger started this job
under Mike Pompeo's State Department
and a lot of the same people have stayed with him
and they've worked this 24 seven,
not for days or months, but for years
to get to this point, to get Dave Whelan out
in addition to Paul and also who was taken more recently.
And it reminds me, so Roger is a former Green Beret
and their motto is,
Deopresso Libert, to free the oppressed.
And it's really nice to be talking about
the great news of these people being released.
I would also add,
Robert O'Brien, the former national security advisor
to former President Trump,
highly critical of the Biden administration
when it comes to their approach.
He says that this encourages more hostage-taking
and yet he praises Roger Carstens when given the chance.
So it's just sort of a very...
He handed that job off to Roger.
That's right.
Yeah.
So it's just gonna say that,
look, we're gonna, once the welcoming.
By the way, the affirmation,
TV Rain lives also,
which is a wedding story for Wayland,
Super Science 2, Islamophobic.
Their big narrative these days
is literally veteran crime.
You do well to stay out of this shit.
Veteran crime.
pictures on the tarmac are out. We're going to move on to crass politics. And then we're
going to start asking the questions. Why did Moscow not wait for a potential Trump presidency?
Moscow has given a real win to the Biden Harris administration.
Taiwanese people are mad at Jacob Rowling for calling one of their athletes trans. Chuggles
the sexist and racist Jacob Rowling managed to turn the entire nation of Taiwan against
their turf colonialism is losing ground. Oh, that makes me so happy. Oh my God, that makes
me so happy. Hey, I am with you. Okay. Taiwan. Call me Taiwan, baby. The way I'm with the,
with the nation state, the independent nation state of Taiwan on this beautiful day. Okay.
Taiwan's cabinet spokesperson said that Lynn's gender or sex is not in doubt. Sports official
provided medical reports to the IOC. The state has her back. Taiwan is the most
progressive liberal democracy in Asia. However, online discourse. Okay. Um, chill. That's
crazy. Listen, I mean, I love defending Taiwan, but like, come on, especially right now, but come on,
don't let Sharon defend, no, you said that. Listen, I love all Chinese people. Okay.
Doesn't matter if they're in Chinese Taipei, doesn't matter if they're in mainland China,
doesn't matter if they're in Taiwan, you know, you call whatever you want.
But yeah, no, I think Thailand is probably more socially progressive than
Taiwan is anyway
You're gonna get clipped
Raleigh's a trans views were unchallenged in Taiwanese major media
However, it's different this time. She's now seen as an extreme transvestigator and racist and the disadvantage the gold medalists and subsequent matches
Bro stop. I'm fighting a losing fight on bdbd on your behalf already. Yeah, I heard that like my
My sarcasm doesn't translate well on the Chinese apps when they use like AI translations
And so like a bunch of Chinese people think that I'm like an unironic hater of the CCP
When I clearly am not
Okay, I was the one who told you that last time. Yeah, I know I'm an unironic hater the CCP
Okay, bro. What do you think you're special for that take?
Mike. Oh, wow how unique a dumb America on ironically hates the Chinese government. Wow
brave take man
by having this happen now.
And I think it could go back to the delicate negotiations
among the small group of people that you were asking about.
Germany was willing to do this
for the Biden-Harris administration now.
They had the KGB colonel who assassinated someone
available to give and trade now.
And Moscow decided, let's do it.
That appears to have been the linchpin
of this entire agreement.
We do have some news to share with you.
We've learned that Russian president Vladimir Putin
has signed decrees to pardon those released
in Thursday's prisoner swap.
General Clark, I'm curious to get your perspective
of not only the timing of this,
but the sheer scale of it.
This is a huge deal.
Yeah, really complicated.
Took years to do.
Lots of intricate negotiations started before
President Biden came to office, obviously.
And now it's been calm.
I think all the questions are still out there to be answered.
But I think, you know, if I just put myself in Putin's views,
he's got the Colonel back.
He's looking at what's happening in American politics.
There's a couple of lessons here.
Number one is maybe he's not as,
maybe he didn't feel confident
that Trump's actually gonna get elected.
Number two is he might be sending a message
to Donald Trump, you gotta be even nicer to me
if you want my support.
So there's a lot of dimensions of this,
but I think the bottom.
Yeah, I would say that this is like kind of a gift from Poo-Dee-Poo.
I mean, it's a good deal for him, but he also understands that this like makes the Democratic
administration look good.
You know what I mean?
Like, I'm not questioning how good of a deal it is when you get literally a broad daylight
assassin out, right?
And he got the fucking Merck Navalny in the process and took him out of the equation
as well.
And reporting is now showing that like Navalny was the key, um, was like the key in the, in
the arrangement.
Uh, he was one of the fucking key figures that the U S was trying to get out of prison.
So he got to literally murk Navalny and on top of that, turn around and, and get a fucking
assassin out.
So it makes him look good.
But the timing of it is actually really interesting in my opinion, because it makes the Biden
administration look pretty good too.
That's a big gift.
Bottom line is, we should be very happy.
It's been done.
We've got our people back.
And I just, I don't agree with the idea
that this is going to promote more hostage taking.
Look, that's always out there.
It's always a possibility.
This effort reflects America's values.
We're proud of our values.
We stand up for them and we take care of our people.
Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is calling
for restraint by all parties in the Middle East
after the assassination of Hamas's top political leader,
Iran's supreme leader attended the funeral.
So hold on a second,
so when Trump only shown the individual negotiators
of this deal, he was directly insulting the people
he hired, brilliant.
Does that strike you as a new phenomena?
That's like typical Trump.
When doesn't he do that?
He literally keeps shitting on the Afghan deal.
It was his deal.
Like, he released 5,000 Taliban members from Pakistani prison for nothing.
Like he literally gave them Afghanistan, okay?
He actually sidestepped the Afghan government.
He told the Taliban, including the leadership alongside Mike Pompeo, that they don't have
to see the top of the hour outbreaks ever again.
Afghanistan is theirs.
At the top of the hour, Hassan Hassanabi Piker will be serving a three minute outbreak,
but the Taliban won't see it because we don't serve ads there.
However, even if they were in the United States of America, they still won't see the ads
because they have gifted subs coming for them at the top of the hour.
Unless you are a part of the Taliban who just received a gifted sub from Muffin coach,
thank you for the five, get the subs.
You will however see the three minute outbreak at the top of the hour unless you subscribe
for six dollars or for free with which prime here's the three minute outbreak now.
Channel 12 reports widespread deployment of Israeli air defense.
We'll look at that.
Just go back to the stream, start to interrupt, but my friends keep sharing shit about a biological
man winning a boxing.
That's false.
Yes.
She is a cis woman.
People are just being fucking gross freaks.
An article, article with respect to what they expect from Iran, from Axios, U.S. prepares
to counter Iranian attacks on Israel within days, U.S. officials say, U.S. officials say
they expect any Iranian retaliation to be from the same playbook as their April 13th attack
on Israel, but potentially larger in scope.
And it could be also to involve the Lebanese Hezbollah.
A senior Israeli official said the Israeli intelligence community expects Iran will
launch a wide-ranging missile attack on Israel.
Yeah, Solomon said that the United States have been working with our partners
on a deal that would have included Alexi Navalny. Unfortunately, he died. Yes, new details
emerge on the Ismail Hania assassination. It was a bomb that was smuggled into the guest
room that the IRGC literally in a building that the IRGC straight up controlled two months
prior, knowing full well that that's where Ismail Hania stays when he visits Tehran.
Kind of crazy, you know. Interol of Hamas official in Tehran where he was killed
in a missile attack that Iran blames on Israel.
Deborah Pada reports from East Jerusalem.
Morning the death of Hamas leader Ishmael Haniel,
the funeral procession made its way
through the streets of Tehran.
Leading the prayers, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah
Ali Khamenei, who has promised a harsh punishment
for the murder of a guest in his country.
Hamas blames Israel for the brazen, pre-dawn
assassination, saying he was killed by a missile. More than 24 hours later, details remain murky.
Israel has not claimed responsibility, but the implications of the strike are potentially
explosive, pushing a region already on edge even closer to the prospect of oil.
Why are they sad Hamas leader is dead? What do you mean? There was a peace negotiation.
There was a ceasefire negotiation happening that Israel refused to abide by.
And then they assassinated a guy that was literally doing the peace negotiation.
The guy that they assassinated was the principal negotiator on the Palestinian side.
He doesn't have any arms training, doesn't know how to fucking fight like that.
He is functionally a diplomat.
And Israel was like, yeah, this is what we think about the fucking peace deal.
They just assassinated the guy doing the peace deal anyway.
Pull out war.
I think both sides on the one hand do not want things to get out of control.
Do not want what they call an open war.
On the other hand, both sides do not want to be the one that takes the step back.
As the political face of Hamas, Hania was also the man sitting in the same room as
the Israelis trying to hammer out a hostage deal.
That could now be in jeopardy.
When you kill the person you negotiate with, what is the intention?
The intention is to kill any possibility for peace.
Today marks 300 days of Hamas captivity for hostages in Gaza.
That's crazy.
I hate this fucking framing.
Oh, 300 days of Hamas captivity?
How about 300 days of genocide too?
You know?
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
You can't bring up the fucking hostages unless you're gonna talk about how Israel
Israel has no interest whatsoever in releasing the fucking hostages.
We'll be country-wide protests calling it 300 days of abandonment.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to vow to defeat Hamas, his military announced
just this morning it had killed another one of the October 7 masterminds, Mohammed Dayf,
in a massive strike over two weeks ago.
Hamas, however, says he is still alive.
Major?
Deborah Pada, in East Jerusalem.
Thank you very much.
More breaking news right now,
and this coming from the Middle East.
Tensions skyrocketing there
after assassinations this week,
and we are getting right now
some brand new details about exactly how
the assassination of the Hamas political leader,
Ismael Hanaya went down.
And these are incredible details
that Jeremy Diamond is breaking.
He's in Haifa Israel and northern Israel right now.
And Jeremy, these details are pretty stunning.
Yeah, no doubt about it, Erin.
I mean, this was quite sophisticated operation.
I'm told by a source familiar with the matter
that Ismail Hania was assassinated in Tehran
early yesterday morning using a bomb that
was covertly hidden in the guest house where he was staying.
But this bomb, I'm told, was actually covertly planted
inside that guest house about two months ago.
and it was only remotely detonated once it was clear that Ismail Hania Hamas's political leader was actually inside his room inside of that guest house.
He's crazy. So shocking. Hmm. Definitely not Israel, by the way. I mean, Israel is the number one of planning bombs in hotels.
So they're pretty good with that shit for sure. They're just pretty good at assassinations in general. They've been doing that a lot.
Unless it's Klaus Barbie in which case they don't mysteriously assassinate him possibly because he's now an American asset at that point
Well, yeah, they're pretty good at blowing up hospitals. They're pretty good at blowing up everything
When that bomb was detonated he was killed alongside his bodyguard who was also there now we should note that Israel has still neither confirmed nor denied its involvement in this
this Iranian officials and Hamas have said that Israel was behind this attack. I'm also
told that Israel Israeli officials actually briefed US officials on this operation, but
only after it took place only after we learned that Ismail Hania had been killed in what
are the proofs that Israel I assume Israel is not them. So what do what proved to Palestine
use against them. Um, I don't know what the Palestinian proof is, but the IDF did post
about target eliminated, like on Facebook immediately after he was immediately after he was killed,
then they deleted it. Also, you know, the obvious implications motives, the fact that
the United States of America openly stated, we were not informed by Israel on this operation.
You know, just like everything, the fact that there aren't really any other
actors that would do such a thing. Didn't they try to do the same thing about you
at the hospital bombing that people bring up all the time to try to own you over? Yeah.
The fact that Israel has killed negotiators in the past, in the midst of a negotiation.
The fact that Israel also killed a bunch of other high-profile military members that were
like Hezbollah people in that same timeframe in the 48 hours.
Yeah.
The fact that they're mostly celebrating this assassination as well and flexing on the
timeline about it. Why do you care that the leader of a terrorist organization was assassinated?
Number one, Israel is a significantly larger terror organization than Hamas. They are significantly
better at doing terror in comparison to Hamas. Hamas are like not even baby terrorists
in comparison to what Israel has done. That's number one. Number two, the person that Israel
assassinated was the principal negotiator in a ceasefire deal that would see the release
of 150 Israeli, some of which are American, citizens that have, well, most of them are
IDF soldiers at this point, but are prisoners of war and hostages that Hamas has captured
for 300 days.
You don't do that.
You just don't kill the fucking principal negotiator, especially when he is the chief
the Politburo and is not affiliated with the military wing. He's also seen as a more moderate
figure within the Palestinian, within Palestinian liberation, within the, the, within especially
the structure of Hamas. So that's what it is. It's one thing to assassinate Hania. It's another
to do it specifically in Tehran. It's genuinely hard to imagine, let alone put in the words of
Syriza's of what comes next. Yeah. I mean, that's what I thought too, but I think Iran,
They're like relying on Iran not wanting to smoke
Killing destroying the peace negotiation representative when you want to keep the war going. Yeah
Is it true that there is a provision in the Hamas charter which says that negotiations with israel against islamic law except if used as a ruse
Um
I don't know but that sounds like a really funny
lie that
You would read on reddit like as a comment
like as a sub comment 35 points down in a conversation why would they put that in
the charter chatter think about that why would they really why would they reveal
their hand in the charter no not even in the 1988 charter come on man news is
going crazy lately what the sigma yeah here is my evil plan under Islamic law I
I will Islamically do my evil bidding in this.
What's also interesting here is that this guest house was actually under the control
of Iran's.
The CNN correspondent literally just said Israel briefed the U.S. about the operation
after it happened.
If it wasn't Israel, why would they brief the U.S.?
Much to think.
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
And so this represents a stunning breach of security for them, a very big embarrassment
for the IRGC.
And we've reached out to Iranian officials for comments on this, but we know of
course that we heard yesterday from Iran's supreme leader vowing revenge saying that Israel has
quote paved the way for your harsh punishment. This assassination has put this region on a
nice edge in addition of course to the Israeli strike in Beirut just hours before this that
took out a senior Hezbollah commander. There are now threats of retaliation not only from Iran
but also from Hezbollah and Hamas, putting this region and this area where I am right now in northern Israel
very much on edge as the possibility of retaliation now looms. Erin.
Thank you very much, Jeremy Diamond.
Cedric Layton joins me now. Colonel Cedric Layton.
Colonel, Jeremy's reporting is really stunning and he mentioned this, but let's just emphasize this again. He is reporting that
sensibly,
Some Israeli operative although they have not confirmed their involvement planted an IED in Tehran in a guest house
controlled by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps the elite
Nasrallah also spoke today seems a pretty serious response also coming from them in addition to Iran
Nasrallah
This is from Timur Azari Iraq bureau chief of Reuters
Hasan Nasrallah general sector has below
The leader of his below in Lebanon
Has said he noted the Israel hit a civilian building in the capital suburbs killing civilians and a top leader
This indicates has the law could strike at or near a major Israeli city going for a mixed military slash civilian target
the Iranian media by the way and
the
the resistance is
actually
Saying that it was not an improvised explosion in IED or a bomb that was planted in this building
but instead it was like a rocket or a drone, I think.
I don't know.
Israel also evacuated some of the forces into shelters to save them.
Nice.
The media malpractices as well.
They're simply not covering that it was a primary peace negotiator and was
assassinated.
No, they covered it.
Like even, even American media was like, yeah, this guy was literally seen
as a moderate in comparison to Yahya Sinbar.
And not only that, but also he is.
He was the principal negotiator IRGC two months ago and then remotely detonated it when they
knew that the guy they wanted to get was actually staying in that house.
Holy cow.
Yeah.
Holy cow is right here and this is a classic operation in you know kind of in line with
Do I think Iran has the capacity to take on Israel?
Bro, there is no taking on Israel.
on Israel means taking on the United States of America. Okay. But ultimately, ultimately,
I think America and the rest of the Western world have a lot more to lose in a situation
like that. What do I mean by this? Because Israel benefits from being a steadfast ally
and firmly within the, like within the ecosystem that the West has created, right? Imperial core
countries have a lot to lose in any kind of destabilization, right? You say that like the
US never lost a war. No, they have. That's what I'm beginning to explain. So, Imperial core
countries live a life of luxury in comparison to the global south. If there is a war with
Iran, Iran wouldn't just target Israel, okay? They would target by way of their, their resistance
groups that they have planted strategically that, you know, came out of allegiances
that they have cut together with, you know, even Sunni groups like Hamas or the, the,
uh, un-sur-law administration in Yemen, allegiances that they've created and numerous groups
in, uh, both Syria and Iraq that they could immediately start targeting oil refineries
in Saudi Arabia, all of America's allies in the region, all the Gulf states would be
at risk. So things would get really frustrating for people in America very quickly. It wouldn't
just be like, oh, this is a war far away who gives a shit whatever, maybe some American
service members die in the process, but we can just kind of not talk about that like
in Afghanistan. It would turn into a complete collapse of the global economy as a consequence
of uh as a consequence of oil prices skyrocketing there would be a genuine there would be a genuine
uh global economic crisis there would be a genuine global economic crisis specifically
because uh the the price of a fucking barrel of oil would shoot up so much surely iran
is it crazy enough to take on the entire gulf in the west i think that's part of
the reason why they're not responding in kind, but instead responding in a very restrained
way so far. But, but yes, I mean, this would be global war, full blown. It's something
that I don't think China wants. It's something that I don't think anybody else wants. It's
something that I think is so severe that Benjamin Nenyeahu thinks he can get away
with opening up a second front and potentially a third front, and pull America in and keep
this limited. Well, let me tell you, you would not enjoy this at all. None of us would. Which
is why I've been saying since early October that America has to restrain Israel. Meanwhile,
Hitler-Yahoo is doing the exact same shit that Hitler did just out of his goddamn
mine and we seemingly are in a motherfucking suicide pack with him.
The tradition of Israeli intelligence going back you know almost to the founding of Israel
and what the Israelis if they did this what they were able to do was Jeremy pointed out
was breach security in a really remarkable way.
The IRGC the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is very much in control of a lot of
different aspects of Iranian life but they weren't in direct control of this
guest house which was ostensibly their own guest house and whoever breached this
and you know the supposition is yeah US can't defend Israel plus every oil field
in the Middle East at the same time I mean I don't think even the iron dome
itself no matter how fucking hard the American defenses try to stop like a
a full blown iranian uh... missile strike with his bullet
and with fucking yemen
there's just no way
there's no way to that would be a shit ton of people dying
in israel
that's what i mean like one death inside of israel
or one death in america is worth so much more in the eyes of americans then
like
uh... hundreds of iranians dying
like
even in terms of like
even in terms of the
even in terms of the calculation like
when all you know when you're uh... when you were born in yemen
and all you know
your whole life is genocide and famine
as a consequence of western back forces
with saudi arabia and you a e conducting a
man-made famine
and creating a genocide in your country,
like when a hundred of your friends fucking died,
that's like every other day.
That's something that you have experienced in your life.
But when you're living in Israel,
and you're like a marketing executive,
and you go and you eat your pizza palace,
and you go and you eat at the pizza palace,
and you play the shittiest techno music of all time,
You're like living a normal life in luxury for the most part.
When one person in your country dies, that is something significantly more dramatic
because it's like out of the norm.
That's why 9-11 was so significant, right?
America's geopolitical condition, like it's position on the planet,
sheltered it from the worst aspects of World War II, because it was so fucking far away.
Okay?
That's why 9-11 was so goddamn significant. It's like, holy shit, 3,000 Americans died on American soil with a foreign-born attack.
That was unimaginable. For people in Iraq, that's like, you know, that's like a combination of, you know, maybe a week of America's most intense bombing.
For people in Afghanistan, it's the same. Maybe not to the same number, but like maybe not the same number of casualties, but
It's it's a month-long
conquest
over the course of years and years of
Occupation that America engaged in these countries. They're significantly more used to it
The Israeli air defense will be over 100%
Most of the projectile such as ballistic missiles would need to be intercepted by David sling and arrow air defense systems
which have far fewer interceptors in the Iron Dome, yeah.
That was Israel, but whoever did this did a remarkable job,
and the fact also has to be noted that this was not detected
for probably over two months if Jeremy's reporting
is in his sources are accurate.
So that really indicates that people were, quite frankly,
overcome by their own sloppiness in this particular case.
And this very fact on the Iranian side shows that Israel has been able to penetrate their
security apparatus quite a bit.
And that, of course, signals some major weaknesses in the Iranian structure.
I mean, Jeremy, just to emphasize this, and I know, obviously, I don't know if your reporting
is how detailed it is on the form of an IED, but you have an improvised explosive
device inside a guest house, which would presumably mean no one was sweeping it
checking it before this Hamas leader came in or in fact any time in the past two months which would
seem to be just a really basic basic point of protocol. Yeah look we don't know exactly what
kind of explosive device this was we don't know exactly where it was hidden whether this was
something that could have evaded the typical checks that the IRGC would conduct on this but
I think one clear failure of security here is the fact that this guest house the reason
why this bomb was planted there is because it was a guest house where Ismael Hania was known to
have stayed and so this indicates that Hania was a repeat guest in this same location which is
obviously a security a major security vulnerability that the Israelis appear to have exploited
here um and so we don't know exactly how this happened but there's no question that there will
will be major questions asked.
I do like that.
That one chatter was operating on yesterday's talking points.
I was like, well, do we know if it was Israel?
What proof do you have?
When virtually every outlet was like, yeah, of course,
is Israel.
Come on, dog.
And we've totally moved past that.
Within the IRGC, within Iran's top
political and military echelons about how this could
have possibly happened.
And I also think it's notable that yesterday Iranian state media was reporting that this
was a rocket that was fired from outside into this guest house that actually killed Hania.
But the fact that the missile story, the bomb story, I trust the I trust the bomb story
that it was actually something that was planted in the guest house suggests even additional
layers of failure.
It also makes clear that this was not fired by a drone or by a fighter jet that would
have violated Iranian airspace.
So that also may factor into how Iran chooses to retaliate for this assassination.
And that's a significant point as well.
Colonel, it also, though, what Jeremy's saying, does just make one thing sort of
unbelievably clear.
So let's just say it in black and white.
That means a human being is involved, who's in Tehran, who actually gets access
to this guest house and plants something.
At some point, there is a human being infiltration, which is different than what Jeremy's saying
they had originally been put out there about Iraq.
This question is the bomb story and gives a reason as to why.
The Iranian intelligence assisting on an air-to-surface missile is responsible for the assassination
of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
The leaks coming from Israel want to establish that a bomb is planted.
Israel's want to portray the attack as an intelligence operation to keep it under
the category of shadow war, but Iran seems to have decided to deal with the attack
as military aggression.
Oh, that makes sense. That's the wire
Wait, that also means that like that's because Iran wants to Iran wants to retaliate
This is Al Jazeera reporter as well. By the way
Hezbollah's air defenses repel Israeli war just flying over southern Lebanon obliging them to retreat back to the occupied Palestinian airspace
Hezbollah has begun a massive bombardment of northern Israel and videos of rocket impacts are being shared
Hezbollah is reportedly weakening the Iron Dome so that the Iranian missile and drones
can successfully penetrate possibly on route or about to be launched soon.
Wait, do we know that this is happening right now?
Iran posted their red flag of vengeance.
So did Hezbollah, by the way, as in they both are, they have both vowed to take action.
This happened.
like two to three hours ago? Oh, okay. Axios reported a few hours ago the US intelligence
believes that Iran is preparing for April-style missile attack and US forces are mobilizing
the same as well. What is this? Iran has officially informed the UN and has intend to
carry out a retaliatory action of self-defense against Israel in accordance with article 51
of the UN Charter, how accurate global news the Twitter account is. Do Americans really want
another war in the sandbox? Though a lot of Americans and Westerners are having more of an
isolationist stands. I mean, it doesn't matter what Americans want. Chatters. What you want
is completely insignificant, especially when it comes to foreign policy. There's no better
representation of this than our undying loyalty, seemingly, to the state of Israel, no matter
how fucking aggressive, how violent, and how ridiculous Israel gets with its belligerent
actions in the region.
or a drone, right? Which could be completely done remotely. That shows an actual physical
human involvement, Carl.
It does. Absolutely. This is the readout of the conversation that took place where they
discussed with Netanyahu, the U.S. ever to support Israel's defense against threats,
including against ballistic missiles. Dude, this is, in my opinion, consistently teaching
Israel the wrong lessons like telling them over and over again that yeah you
could do whatever the fuck you want and we are going to defend you like we're
gonna defend you from the consequences it's so weird like why would they do
anything else why would they do anything else why should they do anything
else you know what I mean when you keep telling them like oh yeah no we're
We're going to defend you no matter what. We're going to defend you no matter what. Every
time you fuck up, every time you keep increasing the pressure, like, then yeah, of course they're
going to keep doing it. Holy shit.
President Biden spoke today with the Prime Minister of Netanyahu of Israel. The president
reaffirmed his commitment to Israel's security against all threats from Iran, including his
proxy terrorist groups Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. The president discussed
efforts to support Israel's defense against threats, including against ballistic missiles
and drones. It included new defensive U.S. military deployments. Together with
commitment to Israel's defense. The president stressed the importance of ongoing efforts to de-escalate
broader tensions in the region. Vice president Harris also joined the call. Dude, no, if you
want to fucking de-escalate at this point, you got to be like, you're all your own dog.
I wasn't there. I didn't fucking kill this, my honey. I've been telling you,
I've been telling you over and over again that you fucking should do a ceasefire deal.
You're actually fucking up the bag for my party's reelection.
You're on your own, big dog! That's what America should say.
Cut off military aid.
And Israel will very quickly change tune.
What is this? The VP landed in Atlanta and told the traveling press pool Israel is
right to defend itself, adding in particular against the terrorist organization
which is exactly what has B'lai is, she empathized.
We still must work on a diplomatic solution and the war. Did anyone ask her about how the nuclear
armed country we have pledged unconditionally give our most advanced weapons systems forever
is in an active pro-rape insurrection supported by several members of the Knesset. Would that
not be a relevant thing to ask? I think so. I think that's a good question to ask. Iran
Supreme Leader has issued an order for Iran to strike Israel. Yeah, this was yesterday
as well. I mean, this is from yesterday. Like stopping the mere threat of stopping
arms shipments would just stop Israel so quickly. I just don't understand.
They turned out in their tens of thousands in the Iranian capital to
walk Israel. Here's what it looks like in Tehran. In the Middle East right now.
With steer negotiations to a lasting ceasefire in Gaza.
I got a pee. It was an audacious attack which killed him.
Arousing furious sentiment in Iran.
The supreme leader who regarded him as a friend and guest in his country
has warned the attack cannot go unanswered.
It was an attack which violates Iranian sovereignty, he's told the nation.
It's also a major intelligence embarrassment
with American media outlets reporting the explosive device responsible
had been smuggled into his Tehran accommodation nearly two months ago.
It coincided with the funeral in the Lebanese capital Beirut
for a key Hezbollah commander killed by the Israelis 12 hours earlier.
earlier. That too has drawn a furious reaction from the militant group which is a close Iranian
ally. The signals seem to be an attack is coming.
We are facing a big battle now. It's beyond the support front now. There's a battle in
Gaza, one in south Lebanon, an open battle in Yemen and even in Iraq because it's
all happening at the same time.
It's not just in the refugee camps of Beirut that they're trying to decipher what
his Bollar is planning, but there's a feeling of inevitability about more violence.
We face death before this woman tells us. We're ready to die if necessary to defend ourselves.
Another man says we will accept whatever Nasrullah decides.
So there seems to be little doubt now that there is going to be some sort of reaction,
and all the indications are that it's going to draw in all the partners of the so-called
access of resistance, not just Iran, not just Hezbollah here in Lebanon, but also their
fighting partners in Iraq, Yemen and Syria, and that is what is seriously worrying the
region.
I suppose the counter thought to that threatening arms cutout will stop Israel is that it would
make them go even more hog wild if they have nothing to lose while they still have
weapons.
Yeah, but they don't have.
See the beauty of threatening to cut Israel's arms, the beauty of that entire process
Is that because they are so fucking belligerent and have not stopped with their endless bombing campaign
They don't exactly have a solid backlog of weapons
It's not like they're sitting on a fucking massive pile or a surplus. They are fully dependent
This entire thing also is on the verge of collapse regardless
right
Because the israeli economy is tanking
A ton of Israeli people have fled the country, okay?
Northern Israel, all of these people that live there have had to leave northern Israel.
The Israeli port has had a severe decrease of traffic and trade in general.
They are literally, they are literally losing everything, okay?
This is the issue.
All of these like reservists are now back in rotation. They're, they're, you know, serving
in the IDF. Yeah. 30% of their workers are not working. They're on the front lines killing
babies. Like this was back in February is with economy shrinks more than expected on
Gaza war GDP fell by 19% on an annualized base in the fourth quarter of 2023. That's
the equivalent of a fall off of 5% between October and December. That was in February.
This war is actually propping up their economy. What? No, it's not. It's not propping up their
economy at all. If they were a country like Russia or a country like the United States
of America that have their own arms that they're manufacturing and using, it would
be a self-feeding cycle. You don't think so? No, I know it's not the case because
They're not a fucking weapons producer. They do like obviously surveillance tag
They do a bunch of like different shit. They produce weapons as well
But not to the same degree as like the United States or or especially the type of weapons that we're talking about
Like we're talking about missiles, right?
Russia and the United States when there's a war when there's a war going on can prop up their own economy
Because they have a war economy. They have industry
For reference, they were minus 19% in quarter four, 2033 USA was plus 3.2 in the same quarter.
Also, the irony is like we play a big role in paying their fucking military as well,
which makes me even makes me even more annoyed. The region is on the vert. This is what Trita
Parsey says from the Quincy Institute. The region is on the virtual war that Nenya was
triggered a war that has designed these designed to suck the US into it. And this is all
Biden had this hidden in Yahoo. Oh, we got to de-escalate tensions. They're asleep on the
fucking wheel, dude. Here, this is from July 18th. Israelis leaving the country permanently
spiked 285% after October 7th, but stabilized since the Israeli defense ministry has signaled
a massive NIS 1.5 billion, $340 million dollar deal with Israeli defense firm Elbit
Systems for ammunition and munitions for the military. Yeah. The little too little
too late, don't you think? You can't put that shit up that quickly and then immediately
start manufacturing. Do you see what I'm saying? This, they're doing because they want to fucking
like, you know, not be so reliant on the West. Also, fuck Elbit systems, by the way. That
is like one of the number one targets that, um, all, all matter of like Western Palestinian
student groups and Palestinian defense groups target on a regular fucking basis.
If Nanny Ahu's goals took over Palestine, why should he risk dragging around in the war
for a performing assassination in Tehran?
Surely that can only make it harder for them.
Wait, what?
Nanny Ahu's goal is just to continue this war.
It's not even to entirely end this war, it's to just continue it.
That's his own personal motivation.
Killing the principal negotiator aids in that process.
What the first mistake they made was the location?
Iranians soldiers just share this photo Netanyahu surveillance in Tel Aviv by Iran
The first mistake they made was a location that's not Tel Aviv. That's the American Embassy in Jerusalem
Quite a security lapse regardless just unclear where that caption has been going around as the location is wrong
Haaretz reports one in four Israeli Jews would leave Israel to another country if they could new survey finds
Nearly half of Israel's Arab citizens say they would emigrate if given the practical opportunity
According to the latest monthly survey by the Jewish, wait, what?
Arab citizens.
But then it says one in four Israeli Jews.
Oh, half of Israelis, half of Israel's Arab population would say they'd leave.
A quarter of Israel's Jewish population would say they'd leave.
Yo, Israel's the safest place for Jews, though, bro.
Without Israel, there would be no safe place, dude.
I mean, I know, I know there's Israeli Jews in this chat that are desperately
trying to leave. It makes sense. I mean, it especially makes sense for these guys in here
because you know, they're fucking surrounded by surrounded by the most hostile anti-communist
freaks you can get. But Israel's desperate to replace Palestinian farm hands newly arrived
Indian workers say abuse is common. It's satisfied to the world is forever going to
be changed for the words because of one stupid pig can't let go of power. It's
It's not just one stupid pig that can't let go of power, because obviously there's a lot
of appetite for destruction.
There's straightforward demands for death and destruction from the Israeli population.
So it's not necessarily just one person's fault, but one person is like the most responsible.
But let's make no mistake.
There's a big chunk of the Israeli population that doesn't recognize the danger that is
coming their way.
The collapse that is so inevitable that you can fucking taste it.
The new British foreign and defence secretaries flew into Beirut for urgent meetings with Lebanese
officials to de-escalate the tensions.
His bollock is not around the table, written amongst a raft of countries who designate
them a terrorist organization.
One thing that Israeli Jews that are really fucking aggro about continuing this genocide
don't actually factor into their calculation, even though one fourth of Israeli Jews want to leave
Israel if given the opportunity, is that this is also spiking anti-Semitism everywhere,
like definitely in the global south, but certainly in the western world as well,
because of the way that Israel has packaged this death and destruction under the auspices of like
protecting Judaism as this monolithic force that is completely aligned and the media playing
a dangerous game also repeating that line and consistently deploying the the anti-Semitism
accusations to anyone that dare declare that what Israel is doing is wrong especially avoiding the
coverage of all of those people who are Jewish themselves who are anti-Zionist, who are out
there in the fucking streets, like all that shit is so dangerous. All that shit is so goddamn dangerous
in terms of like anti-Semitism skyrocketing in this fucking country. And in all of the
countries in the western world, you have not lived the global south version of Islam.
What the fuck are you saying? What does that have to do with anything big dog? What are you
You haul my lord, dude, yeah, I only saw the Turkish version of Islam, yet doesn't that
make you understand that there is no monolithic Islam either?
Nope, doesn't matter.
I like that this is the lighter version of doing casual Islamophobia, which is like,
okay, there are some Muslim countries that aren't like the same as others.
It's not like we had a handle on anti-Semitism, pre-Occupation, yeah, exactly, exactly.
But this is like, like anti-Semitism has always been there because it is at the heart of fascist thinking, right?
And it kind of stems from the, the liberal attitudes that people have. It's anti-materialist. What do I mean by this?
People love good-bad narratives. Some people are good, some people are bad. There's always a war being waged between good and evil. That's not the truth.
People are products of their circumstances. People are directly impacted by their own material conditions.
And the constant push and pull leads people into doing bad things, leads people into doing good things,
what you would consider to be good or bad.
However, liberals don't believe that because they're anti-materialists, so they believe some people are good, some people are bad.
This is a major weakness that can easily be exploited by fascists.
Because ultimately, if you think some people are bad, that's going to lead you into consistently
trying to find an outgroup that is bad.
That is just fascism, right?
Fascism is ultra-nationalism.
It's ultra-nationalism attached to an intractable, unchangeable trait.
It can be your race.
It can be nationality, it can be religion, but it's basically something that is like
there's a broadly defined outgroup and then there's a broadly defined ingroup.
That's just what fascism is.
And it works so perfectly within the confines of liberal thinking.
What do I mean by this?
Everyone always ends up saying, well, there's one group of shadowy figures that have
always been the villain in society. Who's that group? Jews. After all, they're
responsible for the death of Jesus Christ. After all, time and time again,
whenever there's like famine, who's to be, who's to blame? The Jews. That's what
has always happened throughout history and the Nazis basically serialized that
shit, okay? They took it especially from the Russians, originally Tsarist Russia,
and they streamlined it. So that's why liberal ways of thinking like good bad
dynamics like this almost always lends themselves so perfectly, almost lends
itself so perfectly to who the bad guys are. Well it must be this group of
individuals. They're very successful after all despite all of the shortcomings
that they've experienced like that's how you create anti-semitic sentiment.
That's how you push anti-semitic sentiment and when Israel is doing actual cartoon villain shit on a daily fucking basis
And like dumb Americans that watch the TV see the cartoon villain shit sometimes on TikTok
And then when they turn on CNN and CNN is like the Jewish state is the most
You know the most moral state you've ever seen when they see their fucking politicians clapped for Benjamin Netanyahu like a bunch of goddamn
trained seals
Okay
They're like well what the fuck I guess Jews do have some kind of weird mind control over the American Congress of the media
That is literally just Jews control the media. That's the narrative
That is what anti-Semite's believe and I don't think a lot of people understand a lot of people
Do not recognize that like they are feeding into this anti-Semitic sentiment
When you know, they don't cover what is going on accurately
And when they constantly say like when the president comes out and says
Israel's a Jewish state. I'm a Zionist. I love Zionism
Zionism is the best and that without Israel Jews
No Jew would be safe on the planet when you're the American president and there's literally more Jews living in the United States of
America and in a given point than Israel. What the fuck do you mean? Like well, how can you say such a stupid fucking thing?
That is how right-wingers will, one, weaponize anti-Semitism, use the media coverage and basically
massage that narrative not to one that is materialist and not to one that dictates like,
hey, it's actually not like some secret hypnosis power that Jews have collectively or that Jewish
people have the power of mind control, they control the media or anything like that, but
instead it's America's State Department interest. It's also Christian, evangelical Christianity
that dictates that like Armageddon will happen if Jews control Israel and that creates a
big fucking base of support within the Republican Party that, what is this, palangenesis, yes,
ultra-nationalist, this refers to the rebirth of the recreation of a nation, ultra-nationalism.
extreme nationalism that prioritized the interests of one nation or ethnic group above all others.
Yeah. Like people don't understand it. People legitimately don't fucking understand
why the fuck we're giving unlimited unconditional support to Israel. That's a perfectly valid question
to ask. Right? So for many people who are not going to engage in this critically and go,
well, Israel is an unsinkable aircraft carrier with its own espionage facilities
in a resource rich region and that's why it's one of our most valuable allies on the fucking planet
people don't want to think like that that's too complicated for them so they think in their minds
oh it's because jews control american government and american media that's a much easier narrative to
align with has a much easier narrative to understand the government's warning the
the 5,000 Britons thought to be in Lebanon to leave immediately.
And the foreign secretary told us he believes this is a critical point.
My job as foreign secretary in this critical moment is to be speaking to
all sides and to be urging caution, urging calm heads and
to be absolutely clear.
It is no one's interest in this region or in the global community
to see a global crisis, a regional war effectively, in this part of the world.
But Israel appears to be preparing for the worst, with the Prime Minister gathering his
top team for civil protection.
Israel is at a very high level of readiness for any scenario, both defensively and offensively.
We will exact a very high price for any act of aggression against us from any arena.
The twin attacks on two capitals have plunged the region into more uncertainty, and whilst
all parties say they don't want all-out war, that is getting ever closer.
Alex Corbyn.
I don't think, I think there is one party here that is saying they want all-out war.
The party is Israel.
The idea that they're not, the idea that like one party is actually against all-out
war is so silly.
Sky News, Beirut.
I mean, that's crazy. They literally fucking, they literally hit a Iranian consulate. Then
they turned around and assassinated the fucking guy that was the principal negotiator on the
ceasefire deal in Tehran.
Again with a growing backlash from the remarks by former president Trump during his appearance
before a group of black journalists. He questioned the racial identity of vice president
Kamala Harris and was at times combative with the women who asked him questions.
Robert Costa has more from Washington.
Bob, good morning.
Good morning.
The comments were part of a tense Q&A in Chicago
at the National Association of Black Journalists
conference, former President Trump
courted black voters and courted controversy
as he brought questions of race
to the four of this campaign.
I have been the best president for the black population
since Abraham Lincoln.
In a crowd full of black journalists,
former President Donald Trump clashed
with reporters as he questioned his rival's racial identity.
Do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris
is only on the ticket because she is a black woman?
Well, I can say no.
I think it's maybe a little bit different.
She was always of Indian heritage
and she was only promoting Indian heritage.
I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago
when she happened to turn black
and now she wants to be known as black.
So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black?
She was Indian all the way
and then all of a sudden she made a turn
and she went, she became a black person.
Just to be clear, sir, do you believe that she's a black person?
I think somebody should look into that too.
Vice President Kamala Harris,
whose father is Jamaican and mother was Indian,
went to the prestigious historically black college,
Howard University,
and is a member of the oldest black sorority,
Alpha Kappa Alpha.
She responded last night.
And it was the same old show.
The divisiveness and the disrespect.
Harris was speaking in Houston
a black sorority event. Let me just say the American people deserve better. The American
people deserve a leader who tells the truth. A leader who does not respond with Hassan was
Turkish all the way, then suddenly turn white. ironic you say that because that's how like
all of my racist haters fucking say that shit. Like that is exactly what my racist
as haters say, they're like, oh, Hasan was Turkish when it suits him, but he's white when
it suits him when he wants to be racist against white people. Also, he's Muslim. He's a sand
and word and therefore not real white. Are you fucking kidding me? Ha, white. I laugh
at that. He is not German. He is not Polish. Those are the real whites. Yeah, I remember
even the supposed live saying that and supposed live supposed being the operative
word here still in the end anger when confronted with the facts and a rally
intense of it yeah I do love I do love personally that like the Republicans who
have been getting yelled at for being weird and have not been doing a very
very good job of like dealing with that reality have decided to double triple
quadruple down on the weird shit and have just been boss of the wall the
I love it. Like the media cycle was going to change when Donald Trump went and talked
to the National Association of Black Journalists. And the first talking point that came out
of it was Kamala Harris might be a DEI pick. Also, she's an Indian woman and not black.
She's switching races to be black. Real cool stuff. Thank you guys. No, you're doing
a great job, man. Yeah, no, she turned black. It's just like, dude, I mean, this is like
kind of a weird fucking tweet. Obviously this is Kamala Harris at Howard. But like, bro,
it's a thing that you can visibly see with your eyes. That's why it's so strange that
they're running with this narrative. Like she is a black woman. Okay. She is seen as
a black woman by both racist and non-racist alike. So the fact that like you would
try to do that. Like this isn't Bobby by racial. Okay. This isn't fucking logic. Like this is
a black woman. I'm so confused that they're trying to make it seem like it's like a racial
dole is all situation. It's very weird. This is dead ass. The Obama birth, right? Is
them all over again. Just 16 years later is nuts. It's even weirder than that. I think
like obviously that was like gross, weird, racist in general. And it also was the
The Mashably a failure in terms of messaging that was not a successful message at all Obama
won twice and is still seen as like a very popular figure.
Oh my God, Genie Vance is Indian.
Got him.
Donald Trump.
She has always been black classic black family photo.
Donald Trump posted this, by the way, this family photo earlier today and was like, remember
when Kamala Harris was acting like she was an Indian woman and it's like bro
she's literally both black and Indian these two things can happen why are
these guys acting like this is shocking it's so strange man like like there is
no rule there is no fucking rule in the rulebook where you're just like oh if
If you're birational, you gotta pick one. Sorry. What the fuck? Especially in terms of blackness.
Like, if she was white, if she had white in her, that's a little different, right? If she's
half white, then the, the equation is a little bit different because whiteness, also a social
construct is proximity to power in a white country like the United States of America,
right? Like that's why you can't hit her with the Elizabeth Warren style memes.
Because like Elizabeth Warren was a white woman who claimed to be a Native American
woman. That's why everybody made fun of her, myself included. But Kamala Harris literally
is a black woman and blackness is the type of trait in an, you know, in an unimaginably
white supremacist society, blackness is the type of trait that you just can't really avoid
unlike the top of the hour outbreak, which you can avoid as long as you subscribe for
$6 or for free. You can be black, you can be Indian, you can be Malaysian, don't matter.
You can be white. You can avoid the top of the hour outbreak as long as you subscribe
over $6 or for free with a Twitch Prime by connecting Amazon Prime account to your Twitch
account. Here's the three minute outbreak. Now let's continue JD Vance's reaction to Trump's
comments about Harris's race. What he said, I thought it was hysterical. I think he pointed
out the fundamental chameleon like nature of Kamala Harris, Donald Trump on whether
Kamala Harris, the DIHIR, as some Republicans have said, she happened to turn black.
She was Indian all the way and all of a sudden she made a turn and she became a black woman.
Now JD Van saying this is extra weird because as Roger Sullenberger points out, he has mixed
race children.
His kids are half Indian and half white.
So that is very, that's extra strange.
Racism isn't about proximity to power.
racism occurs regardless of power, read how to be an anti-racist. Racism occurs regardless
of power. Dude, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about here, okay? This isn't
like the basic racism is power plus discrimination or whatever. I'm not even saying that right
now. I'm simply saying whiteness is about proximity to power, okay? Whiteness is not
race. That's the issue is the changing racial identity for
political reasons. Oh, no. There is no such thing as being
biracial. It's just some other race. Black plus white equals
Arab. Chinese plus Indian equals Mexican. That's how it
works. Kamala Harris is sent to the lease. Yeah, that's, it's
like, it's like when you mix these two things, you get a
third new thing. This is a joke, by the way, chatters.
This person is not being serious.
It's funny how hard it is for you Americans
to understand the cultural inheritance of people
when your country is mainly constituted by migrants.
I mean, it is.
But it's also dictated by white supremacy.
This is a byproduct of that reality.
Oh my god, the hits keep coming.
New audio trones VP, what is this?
Nominee GD Vase calls raping instances inconvenient.
Wait, what?
I'm not going to look at the Google Doc link.
These racial dynamics being a hot button discourse is probably going to be off-putting to normal
people who are like, what the fuck is going on?
I don't really care about this at all.
Anya Wednesday night, Trump continued to attack Harris but made no mention of her race.
This November, the American people are going to reject Kamala Harris's dangerous liberal
extremism in a massive landslide.
Here in the day, Trump also defended his VP pick J.D. Vance, whose face backlash for
his comments on people without children.
But Trump did say a running mate doesn't matter all that much, except he had previously
said, I'm pretty sure he previously had said, a running mate usually doesn't matter, except
in this case it does.
Presidential politics.
Historically, the choice of a vice president makes no difference.
You're voting for the president, you're voting for me.
If you like me, I'm going to win.
The White House has called Trump statements about Harris repulsive and ins...
That's cool, man. That's a really good way to defend.
That's a really good way to defend your running mate.
That's supposed to give you a nice little bump.
Admitting that your running mate sucks weeks after you chose him
is so funny hello I'm a son oh come on come on come on don't block that guy fat fuck you're full of
shit hello I'm a son I'm a socialist only talk about race and social populist issues and all
my followers are complete morons you'd never catch me disrespecting actual capital that truly
runs the world I only use my voice to get them monies and shit on actual workers because
fuck you literally you every time wait okay I gotta unbend this guy to understand what the
fuck he's saying for your hiatus I wonder what community this guy has been
following me from since 2019 hmm no he's not across the anarchist he's a
fucking 4chan no you're a come on brother we know we know you're a you're
a DGG operative in here he's saying you don't blame global drew jewelry enough
Yeah, what like
But don't these guys use Israel all the time as a way to fucking talk about the global Jewry
So like I don't really understand
so fuck
like
Jewry is such a wild word. It is
There's no E in there. It's just J. E. W. R. Y. I think dude fuck the narrative
Fuck that narrative capital runs the world. I
I guess he's a real socialist are we defending crimes of the soviet union just like the nazis defend the crimes of the third Reich what's going on for your break you know what they you know what community they come from you know I know what community came from for your break come on dude come on yeah we know exactly where
coming from. All right, let's continue. Conservatives, including my dad are pointing to these two AP headlines
of evidence as flip flopping her raise, which is so fucking insane. They cannot fathom the
cause of the carrying two identities. Yeah, I know. Kamala Harris covers Kamala Harris because
the first Indian American US Senator, she would not become the first black American US Senator.
So that's why that's the headline. Biden picks Kamala Harris as running mate first black
woman. That article probably also mentions that it's she's the first Indian woman as well.
I don't know why we're having this conversation. It literally feels like every, okay, every day.
And this is why I spent approximately like two and a half hours talking about the
trans panic that took place earlier in the morning. Okay. Because every day we stray further and
further into psychopathic tendencies, we are becoming literally more insane every moment.
And a big chunk of that insanity is unironically coming from the unrestricted, unshackled right-wing
sentiment born out of made-up hysteria and panic.
So much of the discourse is driven by dudes who are straight up hallucinating, okay?
So much of this discourse, like for the entire, the entire morning lineup, for not just me,
but for most of the fucking major outlets, was talking about how a cis woman, okay,
a cis woman from Algeria, a country that is not exactly fond of LGBTQ people, okay?
A cis woman from Algeria won a gold medal in boxing and people just decided that she's trans.
She's not, but people just decided anyway to be transphobic. And you could not convince
motherfuckers that this was not the reality right like that this was oh she didn't win gold sorry she
won one fight in her first match it is actually crazy that this person it is actually crazy
that this became like this became the genuine discourse and there are probably right now
hundreds of thousands of people that are right wing if not millions of people that are right
right wing that saw the Fox News coverage,
saw all the fucking articles, saw shit on Twitter,
that straight up are like, no, that's a trans woman
and therefore a man and I will never be convinced otherwise.
Just completely untrue, completely untrue.
Think about that.
And it's the same shit here.
People just straight up go,
Yeah, you can't be both black and Indian, you got to pick one.
And most people understand how this works, but it doesn't even fucking matter.
Salting, Trump and his campaign have stood by what he said, and when I was in Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania last night at Trump's rally, it was evident his voters do too.
Many of them, in conversations with me, echoed his assessment of Vice President
Harris highlighting just how rough and racially charged this campaign is shaping
up to be major. Robert Costa. Thank you so very much joining us now. CBS News
political contributor Ashley Etienne. She formerly worked as vice president
Harris's communications director. Ashley. Good morning. You know the
challenge of any national campaign in Canada is to be prepared for the
toughest broad sides that might come from an opponent. Rape Kamala Harris's
response last night. Listen, I thought it was a strong response. I mean,
what what I'm hearing from the campaign is she's going to continue to
rise above the fray. That is the best way they think that they can contrast with someone
like Donald Trump, that she's going to keep making this point. That this election is about
the past versus the future. No one wants to go back to a past, the Trump years, where
racial violence was at an all time high, where you had the president say that they're
good people on both sides. The former president called on the proud boys to stand by.
So she's going to continue to make that point, that that's not who we are as America.
That's not who we want to be.
And the American people are rallying behind her in unprecedented ways.
Two hundred million dollars, she's raised in a little more than a year.
Over a hundred thousand people have signed up.
What?
These faggots should get their own faggot category, because before you think men hit a woman,
it used to end in jail.
Now, he gets you a gold medal at the Olympics.
These are the worst Olympics in history.
They have made a mockery out of Christianity and women.
And let me remind you, there's not such thing as...
Bro, this person is running for... wasn't she running for Congress?
Crisis King, MAGA, America First, Missouri's 41st Secretary of State.
54,000 likes.
Same vibe.
This is a glimpse into next year's parties. They're gonna drop the n-word next. Oh, yeah
I'm in awe of the fact that this person is like
Actually running for office right now as we speak like this is her campaign
It's a chick with a dick. Keep women sports females
The same world buyers that kill you on the same world buyers that killed your son savior
Just killed Angela Karina's dreams of the Olympics. I don't need your money
I want your help saving the children from this virus that is mutilating our youth like I think she needs to be
I think honestly
Re-education camps like 100%
But how can you look at this and not think like we have to rehabilitate these people like actually
The actually dude come on come on come on come on. What are we doing?
Yeah, isn't she running in Missouri? Yeah, but it doesn't fucking matter like
like dude this level of this level of vitriol is not going to fucking translate well to
like even Missourian voters, okay? I think a lot of you guys, I think a lot of you guys
like think oh they're all fucking dumb fuck hicks down there or whatever and sure there's
plenty but like nah.
destroying families. There is not such thing as a trans child. We must protect the children's
innocence from the groomers and pedophiles that pry on them.
As a Missourian, I think you are too forgiving. No, I don't believe that like normal Americans
think this level of like unshackled unrestricted vitriol is actually good and beneficial
for a campaign. You want to know why I don't think that? Because if that was
the fucking case, then Republicans would not have actively tried to campaign with dog whistles
for decades.
These guys are too invested in smelling their own fucking farts.
And they think that other people think like them.
You get to this point, they don't just look at Carrie Lake exactly.
I'm telling you, dude, when you get to this level, it's like, you know what these
guys are?
Obviously, there's no moral equivalent between the two, but these guys are like the leftist version of these guys are people who come in here and they're like, oh, dude, you haven't started a revolutionary Vanguard party and armed militants in the global south, like, you're a fucking idiot.
Like, these are people who, who think that like me, living in the United States of America, am, am, like, allowed to be a certain way.
They greatly, they, they greatly overestimate how much real momentum their belief system
has on the planet.
Okay.
They do not live in the real world.
You can only arrive at that fucking, you can only arrive at that, that way of thinking
if you're just like exclusively in discord servers and you just like never interact
with a real human being.
And for these guys, for these guys, it's basically the other side of the equation, but significantly
worse, far more consequential and nationalized at this point.
You know what I mean?
Like it's so incredibly fucking out of touch and forgetting that like, you need to do
dog whistles.
Like you're not, you can't behave like this.
You look like a cultist.
You look sweaty.
You look nervous.
You look weird to the average person.
Discourse servers are the most racist by dive bars in town.
No, these guys are just like hopped up on Twitter fumes and they genuinely think they genuinely
think that like there is a large enough group in the country beyond the actual mega cultists
the actual MAGA cultists that actually fucking operate like this when in fact in the real
world if someone were to talk like this if she were to do this in public people be like
what the fuck are you saying bro chill out if she chirped like this in public someone
would beat her ass 100% these faggots should get their own faggot category if she said
this in public around other people someone would smack the shit out of her 100%
100% so I'll be like what the fuck did you just say? Like straight up straight up like
you have to remember that and the person doing that wouldn't necessarily be like a fucking ally
to trans people or anything like that. Like I'm saying like a normal person walking by if they
heard another human being talk like this and brought fucking daylight in public
like there would be some fucking words exchanged, maybe even hands
straight up. Now the reason why I'm saying that, no, even in Missouri,
dude, even in Missouri, the reason why I'm saying that is not because,
is not because I think that, um, you know,
I'm threatening this person with violence or whatever. I'm saying like,
like it's not the norm to behave like this.
It's not the norm to behave like this at all.
This is gross shit, okay?
This is just gross.
You're a fucking gross loser.
I can only do so much of my own.
Let's save the children.
My guys stand with Angel Carini.
What is this not her but similar video?
We bring back normalizing the word faggot.
We need to shame fags again.
We need to put them back in the closet.
I miss those days when people wouldn't tell anyone that they're gay because it was not celebrated.
Now it's like people are becoming gay because they want to be celebrated. They're weird. They're outcasts.
They just want to-
This doesn't work because some gay guy's gonna use this as a reaction video in less than 24 hours.
Yeah.
Censored TV.
Don't laugh, buddy. How am I not gonna laugh at this?
This is so obviously reaching to just like get a fucking reaction.
It's pathetic.
Straight up.
A lot of people feel this way too.
I love you so much, Osama, but I think you're being way too charitable.
No, dude.
I'm not saying the average American isn't fucking homophobic,
transphobic, racist.
You're misunderstanding what I'm, you're misunderstanding my point.
Okay.
I have never, I have never made the argument that like the average American is
not like a genuinely racist homophobic person.
There's a shit ton of genuinely raised the homophobic people.
They just don't like it when someone else who's on their side is just giving the game away.
There's a difference between, there's a difference between acceptable racism that they have learned
from social conditioning, stereotypes in media, and every fucking aspect of society that they've
grown up with, especially when they're fucking sheltered, okay, versus behaving like an edgy
teenager in an Xbox Live chat room. When you get to the edgy teenager phase, most people
who are literally fucking racist and homophobic themselves go, ew, at the very least they
will go, uh, gross. I don't fuck with that gay shit either, but that's weird. You're
You're being a little weird.
That's what the average person who would otherwise be homophobic or transphobic would think, okay,
and would operate like.
If you were out in the real world, you would understand that.
There's a level of like social acceptability that you need to abide by.
That's why Ben Shapiro always uses dog whistles.
He always just points to things, right?
He always points to the way that these structures are designed.
he rarely ever goes black people are genetically inferior and that's why they must be murdered
by the police. He says policing as an institution is necessary and there are a lot of crimes
that occur as a byproduct of the culture that black people have. That's it. That's
the difference. One is taking advantage of the unjustifiable structures that we exist
under that people take for granted and people think are the norm and should not change.
The other is just giving the game away and being like, no, actually, I am a racist in
the way that other racists understand in the way that like people are not comfortable with
openly being racist people don't like being called racist.
Klansman don't like being called racist.
Okay, Nazis don't like being called Nazis because everybody understands that being
outwardly races like that is truly toxic. Okay? It's because you're breaking, you're breaking
like the, the social boundaries. Some people take pride in it, though. Yes, dude, but those
people are incredibly marginal. Like they are so fucking miniscule, so fucking tiny in terms of
the population. Your granddaughter did an amazing job. She's a great offer. We, we met her, I think,
up at Bedminster. Here's Donald Trump talking to Clay, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton,
funny his name of all time, by the way, Buck Sexton, talking about the, the athlete
that Trump, I suspect, will call trans with you. And you took her out on the course. I know
you've been playing with her a great deal before we get into the Olympics in particular.
If you found out that she was going to have to compete against men in golf, you know the difference
There's ladies fees for a reason. There's a tremendous difference
What would you say as a grandfather leaving aside the being a president running for president all those things?
What would you say you're a big sports fan just about being fair if you found out that you're supremely talented golfing
Granddaughter was having to compete against I hate that like
Like, transphobic people are completely in the wrong here, and they've just like hallucinated
that a cis woman is a trans woman, and they're still doubling down on the fucking narrative
regardless.
You know?
They're still just like, even if she's not trans, who gives a fuck?
Fuck trans people.
That's basically what this argument is.
What's the matter?
Well, Godfrey's different.
It's first.
What about that they say what I think people, I heard that about Trump all the time,
we're gonna gas station?
Great.
Great fucking take.
That's the other thing I was gonna say.
legitimately think in their minds that everyone else thinks like that. That's why there's always
this narrative of like, oh he's just honest. This is exactly what everyone is thinking but
are too afraid to say it. No motherfucker, it's not to that degree, okay? And even then,
oh people are too afraid to say these things but they're thinking it means that they're still
not saying it because
they understand
ultimately that there's a massive fucking sub-sector the population
that consider that to be a parent hello that's the whole point
so it's a huge disadvantage anyway but
golf is a lot different than being punched in the face like that young lady
from italy was today
where she took two shots and she said i'm out of here i never got hit like
that before my life
and uh... she's supposed to be very good boxer but she said this is
crazy but
a golf a little because you still have to be able to putt and other things but
yes even in golf you know there's a big difference in distance that's why as you
said better than anybody
that's why they have the ladies fees and the men's fees and all of that
so obviously it's uh...
you know uh... a big part of what i say one of the things that gets
the biggest applause just about and it's i have other things that are very
important like the border we gotta close the wall you gotta
drill baby drill order that but one of the things you get the biggest applause
And you know this because you've been to many of the rallies. I had a great one in Harrisburg. Yeah, this is a great way to fucking again
smell your own goddamn farts
Okay
Even he has been like shocked at how much people love the anti-trans sentiment at his rallies
But those are motherfuckers at his rallies
That is not the broader that is not the broader
electorate, okay? These are, it just, it doesn't mean anything other than the fact
that your fan base is brainbroken, okay? If you lean into that too much, if you lean
into that too much, you are going to end up looking like a fucking freak,
which is why a lot of people, because which is why the weird, the Republicans
a weird narrative has been salient last night. It was unbelievable actually. And what gets
the biggest applause is we will not allow men to play in women's sports. And you know, I
usually use weightlifting as a good example. You could use swimming. You could use a lot
of different, but weightlifting is so good. But I think it's been replaced by boxing
because this young lady said I've never been hit like that. It was like getting
hit by a horse. So, I mean she took two punches and she said that's it, I'm out, I'm out.
What do you think about Kamala Harris? It's incredibly coincidental because today Kamala
Harris and Joe Biden have rewritten title nine so that it now includes gender identity.
So if a man wants to identify as a woman, as you just mentioned, that thing has gone
viral, everybody is reacting to it. They wouldn't let that person fight as a woman because it
didn't fulfill the biological requirements. Man beats up a woman in the Olympics. What
did you think when you saw that video? Well, they've gone, this is where they've been.
They've gone, you know, into the whole thing where men can do anything they want. They
can go into the locker rooms. They can do whatever they want. They transition.
And they've been, that's where they've been. And people don't understand it. To
To me, you know, I say we run a campaign on common sense, the Republican Party and
MAGA is that's why the weird narrative sticks so well.
Because Republicans do really well when they talk about common sense.
This is just common sense.
Of course we have to look the other side is crazy.
They want to fucking kill cops.
We're just like the common sense party.
Of course you love cops.
You see it in television.
This one, the Republican party actually is doing well campaigning because regardless of
my own personal opinion, my convictions and what I say and what this community thinks,
policing as an institution is unimaginably popular in this country.
Okay?
Straight up.
That's just the reality.
Okay?
So there's a difference between, and obviously that changes for different demographics,
especially when we're talking about voters.
Like, when you say common sense, this is common sense, of course we need cops and the other
side wants to like kill cops or fucking abolish the police or whatever, that's a pretty sticky
narrative that you can run on that is decently successful in terms of campaigning.
But when you just like hyper focus on like weird shit and constantly talk about like
women in, uh, you know, uh, teenagers, genitalia or shit like that, uh, even though obviously
focus group testing has shown that transphobia in and of itself is not successful, but when
paired up with a concept of fairness in sports, it's actually very successful.
And that's the reason why they changed it from bathroom bills to like, uh, you know,
teens and sports or whatever, even then not enough people care about it because at the
end of the day, there aren't that many fucking trans people.
This is not, it's like an entirely marginal group of individuals.
So consistently fucking talking about trans people, but all the, all the time, non fucking
stop trans people, this trans people that they're in every corner is going to make
you look weird and gross.
Ultimately, the average American also doesn't really care about women's sports that much,
and especially the people that are talking about trans women competing in women's sports.
They definitely don't give a fuck about women's sports.
We are half of your audience.
I'm scared.
I'm like, actually, so anxious to the trans person watching this.
We are half your audience.
I want to say trans people are half my audience, but I do have a big percentage of trans
people in this community for sure.
Thanks for your talking points.
I just destroyed a transphobic family member of mine, Lamont.
They were yapping about this nonstop.
Even though they're obsessive trans people, is what he's saying doesn't make sense, what?
No, dude, Americans care about fucking inflation, okay?
And maybe some of them also are terrified of the fucking border because it's a narrative
that has no counter messaging to it.
But at the end of the day, when you're constantly fucking talking about like teenagers, genitals,
and how they're being chopped off or whatever the fuck, people are gonna be like, dude,
that is weird.
I don't want to think about that.
Please shut the fuck up.
Like, think about it this way.
Conservatives are so dialed in to culture war panics that they negatively polarize themselves
against being normal.
One of the greatest indications of this was during the fucking Super Bowl, this is supposed
to be the Super Bowl for conservatives, right?
It's something that every American is supposed to celebrate.
All the normal Americans watch it, right?
Hundreds of millions of fucking people tuning in from all around the world even, but
especially in America.
conservatives were fucking crying why because Taylor Swift is there why because
Taylor's his boyfriend is playing and they weirdly just made they they weirdly
turned around and fucking negatively polarized themselves against normal shit
okay and when you're chirping about the Super Bowl you think the average
American is gonna be like hell yeah you're right brother Taylor Swift is
actually a government sigh up made the trans children and that's why I'm
I'm also a boycotting the Super Bowl.
No, they're gonna be like,
shut the fuck up, I'm eating Jalapeno poppers
and watching the fucking Super Bowl,
you un-American piece of shit, okay?
Like you think right now at this election cycle,
like when these dumb fucks talk about like Dylan Mulvaney
being on a goddamn Bud Light beer can,
you think that shit is like salient as a talking point?
You think people give a fuck about that?
No, of course not.
And it's the same exact,
it's the same exact story with the Olympics, okay?
This is a global event, a third of the entire population,
the fucking planet watches the goddamn introduction ceremony.
Conservatives in America are crying about how gay
the Olympics are and how anti-Christian the Olympics are.
Most people all around the globe are just watching
and going, okay, the French are being weird.
Who gives a fuck?
Okay.
What are we doing?
They can't even enjoy, they can't even enjoy
the Olympics without getting angry.
Okay.
That is a mentally unwell person.
I'm trans, do you really think the majority of America isn't transphobic?
What are we getting this from?
I never said that.
Of course.
No, transphobia is deeply associated with our rigid understanding,
our false understanding of gender.
People don't see it as a social construct at all.
They think it's like biology.
They don't understand that there's a difference between biology
biology or whatever people call biological gender versus being trans or, or, you know,
gender expression in general, or what gender is in general.
That's number one.
And number two, because of that close association we have with our identity and the rigidness
in which we've been taught from an early on age, people are obviously like, oh, trans
people are weird and gross for the most part.
That is like the normative position.
That is the broad position of the majority of Americans, the overwhelming majority of
Americans, right?
They don't make a distinction between sex and gender, and it doesn't even matter.
Most people think, oh yeah, trans people are kind of weird, kind of gross, I don't
get it.
Okay?
The difference, however, is that nobody is, no normal person is constantly fucking
thinking about the latest and greatest in the happenings of trans culture and trans
community existence.
Okay?
that's my argument the average American is not constantly fucking thinking about
like what a trans influencer is doing the average American doesn't have like you
know anti-trans memes on their phone where they go see this is my video I
have 500 videos of trans people reaching on my video I'm on my phone I'll show
it to you right now like when you do that people go brother brother what's
What's that brother?
That's what they say.
They're like, dude, you're weird.
Caring about something that much, no matter what the cause is, is going to be off-putting
regardless.
Okay?
Love you, King, but I think your idea of the average American normies influenced by
your friends and environment, we who normies are more chill than Alabama normies, in
my opinion.
Oh my God.
No.
Not only are you wrong, you are demonstrably wrong because running an anti-trans agenda
is exactly what led to the 2022 electoral defeat
for many Republicans when it was supposed
to be a fucking red wave.
Okay, that's it.
These guys already tried this shit, okay?
And there are exit polls.
People were literally, people were literally pulled on this
where they asked them like, how big of a factor
in your consideration was like the, you know,
the fact that trans people are taking over the country
or whatever. And people are just like, what? I don't understand. I don't care. That was
abortion. It wasn't just abortion. Okay, abortion played a big role in it, certainly. But some
might make the argument that abortion is also a continuation of the Republican radicalization
in this country and how genuinely off-putting that looks to the average person. You feel
me? Normal trans folks don't obsess over trans people. Yeah, it's not oxymoron. Yes,
are plenty of people who are just normal and and are like transphobic in the sense that they they
will be like yeah I don't think men should play against women I don't think trans women should
play against cis women right like there are so many people who believe that and we'll just regurgitate
that okay that's an uncontested narrative it's very difficult to fucking fight back against that
that is just the average person's take that's it but it doesn't go beyond that okay when you
start pushing arguments about how like, and that's why we have to stop them. And that's
why we have to pass a legislation that will impact only three trans girls in high school
swim meets in the entire fucking state of Kansas. Okay. When you do that, people are like,
Okay, what the fuck, why are we doing this?
We are extremely online.
We are motivated by what we see online, and unfortunately for us, especially with Twitter
becoming increasingly more right-wing, most of the things we see are from Gropers.
So we literally fucking personally think that every American is like a Groper, and that
is exactly the problem with the Republican Party.
They think that.
They think that they're normal.
They are not normal. They are weird and off-putting to the normal person. Okay?
It's about common sense, probably more than it is about being conservative or anything
else. It's common sense. We want to have a strong border. We want to have low taxes.
We want to have good education. We don't want to have men playing in women's sports.
But this is where they are. The whole party is crazy. And they took him out. They
They did a coup with him and it wasn't a friendly coup.
It was a vicious coup.
You know, he had all the votes and they just said,
we'll do it the easy way or the hard way.
And they took him out, you know, from my standpoint,
here we are working against him.
He's down for the count practically.
And it's like if you had a fighter like Dana White,
the great Dana White, you have a fighter
and he's not doing well and you take him out
and you put somebody else in.
But I don't think she's gonna do well
because her policies are so bad.
I mean, she wants open borders.
She wants the all electric cars
a very short period of time, no more gasoline-powered cars or hybrids or any of that. It's just
ridiculous. The country looks so stupid for the rest of the world.
When you hear yourself and JD Vance called weird by Kamala Harris who believes that a
man should be able to win a women's boxing championship, that a man should be able to
be a women's swimming champion, we had Riley Gaines on the show earlier. Who's
the weirdo there what's weird actually letting men pretend to be women and winch you are bro you are
for thinking about this and talking about this nonstop you are the fucking weirdo like you you're
weird by the way 47 percent say conservatives are weird it worked wait what why can i see the
championships or just saying women's sports should be played by women well they're the
weird ones and if you've ever seen her with the laugh and everything else that's a weird deal
going on there. They're the weird ones. Nobody's ever called me weird. I'm a lot of things,
but weird. I'm not. And I'm up. Oh, he's mad. Oh, that's awesome. Yet another, yo, put
that in W category, put that in the W column once again. Okay. It's just not, you know,
There you go. He's definitely big man about this shit.
And he's not either, I will tell you. JD is not at all. They are. I mean, who wants to
have open borders with prisoners? That's weird. We're prisoners and we're...
That's weird. No, it's the other side here. I want to give you guys another argument.
I want to go back to this fucking psycho. Okay, the psycho who's like said this,
How much you want to bet every single person with a blue check mark that's fucking responding to this person is like
Incredibly griped up and most likely one of those like Orange County style of Republicans like
Republican in a deep blue area
Republican living in a fucking deep blue district Republican living in a deep blue state
Okay, every single blue check mark the take we're all waiting for host of Brianna M. Show corporate media escapee
quit Fox Corps over the COVID vaccine mandate, fluent in sarcasm. Okay? Missouri, you better
vote for this woman. First and then the second America first, MAGA conservative. Holy shit,
I fucking love you, America first. Adaptation expert, natural selection always prevails,
Gen X, father, teacher, son, chivalry. Think long, think wrong. Traditional thoughts.
truth no matter how harsh it comes across is still the truth first time
there's a missouri and in the fucking post there are derogatory words for
every race religion class sex etc etc i don't try to use any of them and i
expect politicians to do the same as a missouri and this post lost me
we'll do the top blue check on this one israel has you leashed like a dog
why you gotta show me that man mental institution patients are taken out of
hospitals and jails and they're led into our country. That's weird. Who would want that
policy? Who wants women's sports policy? Who wants it quadrupled your taxes? The whole thing
is weird. And the way they do elections is weird. And now they're the weird ones. But
you know what it is? It's a sound bite. You've been watching it. Russia, Russia, Russia,
Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine. It's always sound bite. And the press picks it up. You
You notice, the evening news, every one of them, they introduced the word weird and all
of a sudden they're talking about weird.
Now we're not weird people.
We're actually just the opposite.
We're right down the middle.
I don't know if you heard this yet, but a little bit earlier, Joe Biden, I don't know
if Joe Biden knows anything.
I think you kind of showed that when you knocked him out on June 27th and ended his
political career.
I know you saw me on Jesse Watters.
I mean, we've never seen a knockout like that talking about it.
I mean, he posed as he dropped out,
but he was just talking about Russian hostages.
And he said, you didn't get Evan Gersovic back,
even though Evan Gersovic didn't become a hostage
until he became president.
I want to let you hear that and hear what he said.
I mean, his brain's mush, we know that,
but I want to let you hear it.
President Trump had said repeatedly
that he could have gotten the hostages out
without giving anything in exchange.
What do you say to that?
What do you say to President Trump now?
president. Why do you need to be president? Okay. I mean, how crazy is dude? I love, I
love that. I'll be like Republicans are not the weird ones. This is the Democrats that
are weird ones, which is why I as a normal person and spending my morning talking to
fucking Clay Travis and Buck Sexton about an a, a Algerian boxer in the fucking quarter
finals beating an Italian boxer. And we are talking about how, how she might have a penis
in her pants. Okay. Like that is not I'm running for president shit. Okay. That's insane.
Like you can't like that's actually super stupid.
Well, he's incompetent and you know, he was so adjudged by his own, his own. If you
take a look at his own counsel. If you look at the prosecutor, who we call it a prosecutor,
they call it a counsel. And he came out and he said with respect to the documents case,
he said essentially that he's incompetent. You know, that was an interesting thing.
He's incompetent to stand trial, but he's allowed to be president. That's a very interesting
thing. Can't stand trial because he's grossly incompetent. But no, I heard that. I heard
He said this, why didn't Trump get him out?
And he was taken during that time.
You know, I got out 59 different people, 59.
And I didn't pay money.
I didn't pay money.
You know, once you do that, these deals are gonna happen
more and more, because the amount of things,
including cash that we give up is so astronomical.
This is a big deal.
And they allowed some really rough people out.
You know that, right?
And they did in the first case of Britney Griner also.
they allowed? What was he the person that they traded her for the merchant? Yeah, which is maybe
a work, and then our friend, one of the greatest for the great
trans people shouldn't perform an opposite sex competitions. Yeah, they shouldn't. They're
not. Trans women participate in the exact same is in a competition with cis women. Like,
Yeah. And nobody out here being like, oh, a trans woman should go fight against a cis
dude. You know what I mean?
This arms dealer in the world, you know, and look, these are rough deals to make these
deal sometimes have to be different. But we got out 59 without having to pay. I got
it. I got people out of North Korea that you don't get tougher than that. And
Last question.
Last.
Okay, I'm done with this.
This just sucks.
All right.
Um, I want to hear the fallout from Trump's comments, tagging Harris is ready to serve
on her campaign to volunteer.
So she's feeling, they're feeling very good about this and in the strategy from what
I hear from them is let, let Trump be Trump.
The more that the American people see of him doing this kind of stuff, the more
they're reminded of why they don't like him.
Ashley, let's look back at the past to sort of widen this out here.
President Trump did perform better than expected with black men in 2020.
And that campaign would very much like to peel off a few more votes from the black community.
How much does this hurt those efforts, though, in your opinion?
Well, I've always sort of felt like this was overhyped.
The number of support among black men for Donald Trump has really been overhyped.
It was never a real threat to someone like Kamala Harris.
It was more of a threat to Joe Biden.
But now that Kamala Harris is actually in the race, we're seeing their internal polls
are showing that she's really invigorated the African American base where Joe Biden
was bleeding support among the base.
She's plus 45 against Donald Trump with the base.
So the more and the more that he actually shows himself, the more and the more he
insult her the more he mispronounces her names the more that he leans into really insult the
entire black community the more the momentum will start to create to create and and galvanize
behind vice president Harris and I will say and it's not just among black people who are
offended by the president the former president's treatment of her so that's the other that's
the other benefit that she has that race and gender are working to her advantage in this
this particular race in a way that it never has before.
Ashley, I'm not black.
Fact check, true.
But I'd like your observations on the combative nature.
But we still love you, we still love you.
I'm glad we're good on that.
I'd like your evaluation of the combative nature
of the exchanges between former President Trump
and Rachel Scott.
That's playing in that room, but it's also playing
in a broader American living room.
Why people can never be normal? Like I don't know why why people are so
Like it's just so difficult for a white person to ever be normal about like
Like black issues or just like being around black people in general. It's not even like he's not even being
Like racist or anything that that's not what i'm talking about
No, that's not I'm not saying he's being raises. He's being so cringe like he just can't. I don't know. Absolutely. I mean, there was a lot of frustration I heard from my reporter friends that were in the room and that frustration and disappointment and how NABJ handled this spilled over into outside of that room.
In fact, I got dozens and dozens of text messages about how disappointed they were that they provided the former president this platform to not only insult black journalists, but the black community and to insult common.
Commonwealth.
Positivity is race switching.
Are you with us or against us?
Yes, dude, whichever one, whichever one allows you to subscribe at the top of the hour so
you don't see a fucking three minute outbreak.
Okay.
That's what I am.
Because at the top of the hour, I'm serving at Brace to everybody.
Okay.
Black folks, white folks, brown folks, Asian folks, everybody's getting a three minute
outbreak at the top of the fucking hour.
you subscribe. Subscribe folks will not be seen an outbreak at the top of the hour. Here it is.
Well, here is as well. So, I mean, you know, the way that I think people are processing this is,
you know, it's more of the same with Donald Trump. No one was surprised by this,
but it's going to play to her advantage because she's going to be able to contrast and say,
listen, which direction do we want to go in as a nation? Who are we as a nation?
Are we what Donald Trump represents, which is division and hatred?
are we about solutions? Are we about unity? Are we about loving that neighbor?
That's the contrast she's going to continue to draw. So black women were and we were
insulted by it. We're really even more dug in and motivated to go out and support
Kamala Harris and make sure we take her across the finish line.
Ashley and again, we can feel your energy this morning. Thank you for joining us.
Senator Vance, we're at the border today. You just got done touring the border.
Vice President Harris has contended that you and President Trump, former President Trump,
had tanked the bipartisan border deal that would have provided a lot more funding to
support the border.
What is your response to that?
Well, look, the bipartisan border deal was actually a massive giveaway to illegal immigrants.
It would not have solved any of the problems that Kamala Harris has caused.
I mean, they came into the administration, they promised from day one that they would
suspend deportations, that they would reinstate catch and release, that they would end
remain in Mexico.
They implemented these policies and it had the intended effect of opening up the
southern border. What happened is that Kamala Harris, who was the border czar,
decided that this was not good politically. And so they tried to implement
some new law that actually wouldn't have solved the underlying problem. They
have the tools necessary. They just need to empower border patrol to tell
people who want to come in illegally. You're not allowed to do that. They
just need to use the authority that the borders are Kamala Harris has.
I want to ask you about the former president's comments yesterday to
the National Association of Black Journalists, where he said that
Vice President Harris is quote all of a sudden black as a father of three biracial children.
Those comments. Oh my God. Dude, I wish they had this level of smoke for like Israel shit,
dude. God damn it. This makes me more. This makes me more mad seeing them actually cook
politicians like this on like domestic stuff where they look like assholes, especially when
they hate them. And yeah, the media does hate Donald Trump. Let's be real. Okay. I just I
wish they would do this for like Israel related shit. Could you imagine doing like real contentious
adversarial journalism? This makes me so upset. Let's give you pause at all. They
don't give me pause at all. Look, all he said that is that Kamala Harris is a chameleon.
She goes to Georgia two days ago. She was raised in Canada. She puts on a fix of
an accent she is everything to everybody and she precedents to be somebody different
depending on a way there is nothing funnier than this guy calling someone else a chameleon
is just like like dude you're literally the fakest motherfucker out there you've invented
new ways of being shitty to white people like I don't even know how that's possible
you invented a way to be racist to white people but like specifically from Appalachia
is crazy. You call Trump Hitler dog like three years ago. You're a tech bro. A hedge fund
guy from Silicon Valley, your Peter Thiele's blood boy. And now you put on a fucking plaid
shirt with the cowboy patterns and you walk the border to be like, Oh, I'm such a, such
a Yoko, which audience she's in front of, I think it's totally reasonable for the
president to call that out. And that's all he did. I mean, look, she's running
as a tough on crime prosec
though she implemented open
defund the police just thr
totally reasonable to call
that she pretends to be so
to use that word chameleon
someone who was an unabashed
president previously. Now
messages out there now t
police. Now yesterday you
by your own standard are you a chameleon look I criticized Donald Trump
ten years ago and we've talked about it and I've made a good argument to the
American people about why I think he was a great president and why I think he
deserves reelection that's different than going to Georgia two days ago and
putting on a fake southern accent when you were raised in Canada so I think
it's it's totally reasonable to change your mind as Kamala Harris stood when
you were raised in what was Kamala raised in Canada I thought she was
from Oakland oh she went to high school in Canada stood for a tough
debate with you and explained why she wanted to ban fracking and now she
doesn't or why she wanted to defund the police and now she doesn't or why she
wanted to open the border but now she doesn't. It's reasonable to change your
mind. It's not reasonable to run and hide from the media and not answer the
American people's questions. You were he was also asked yesterday if you
were ready to be president on day one. He kind of dodged the question. What
do you still have to do as his running mate to prove to him that
you are ready to step into that role? Well, I think Donald Trump was
answering a political question and he was answering it correctly he said for
years that who the vice president is doesn't really matter politically most
Americans are voting either for Kamala Harris or for Donald Trump they're not
voting for the vice presidential nominee of either party oh my god he's so
good he's like I'm a fucking loser but I promise I won't actually have a
negative consequence on the ticket I know I'm a fucking loser I know my place
I'm sorry. This is great. No, I promise. I promise that like all of the articles that
keep coming out about like every Groyper podcast that I've been on where I said things like we
should assassinate women that don't have that don't bear eight children or that personally I
I think that we should do a second circumcision
or whatever kind of weird shit that he's an advocate for.
All of those sound bites are actually good.
I promise I'm not going to cut the campaign.
Look I'm absolutely ready to be president on day one.
I've been a businessman. I've been a United States Marine.
I've been a senator.
I can do the job but politically he's just right.
People are voting for Donald Trump primarily.
So why are you out here today then if you don't
aren't necessary to this process well I didn't say I was oh bro this guy is just
ripping him bro chill. To process I can certainly make an argument that
Borders are Kamala Harris has failed the American people but I think ultimately
they're gonna be voting either for Kamala Harris or for Donald Trump. Do you have a
reaction to the news that just came out about the prisoner swap that will
bring two Americans back home potentially? Look I think it's great news at
least what little we know we certainly want these Americans to come back home
it was ridiculous that they were in prison to begin with but we have to
ourselves why are they coming home? And I think it's because bad guys all over the
world recognize Donald Trump's about to be back in office so they're cleaning
house. That's a good thing. I think it's a testament to Donald Trump's
strength. You've explained at length your past criticism of the former
president. I'm just curious though, is there still an issue where you feel
like you are on a different level than him that you feel like you are
hoping to sway him on if you were to become his vice president? Look, my job
as vice president will be to help implement the governing agenda. And
And if God forbid something happens to step into the gap, but Donald Trump's very healthy.
I think he's going to be a great president.
He's going to be a great president for four years.
But my job here is to help prosecute the case, let the American people know what Kamala
Harris actually is, what she's actually done.
And then when we get into White House to actually help govern, that's what I'm going to focus
on doing.
So there's not an issue where you two differ at all?
Look, certainly we're going to differ on issues from time to time.
But my job is to provide counsel to the president in private and then try to help
him govern and do everything we can to help him do that.
reaction to the defense that you just heard from Sarah Vance?
It's more coherent and logical and defensible than the stuff that Donald Trump was saying.
It's also just not particularly responsive to the stuff that Donald Trump was saying.
It is a wholly fair game to go after Kamala Harris for flip-flopping and changing positions.
I welcome a lot of her flip-flops. She's moving to the correct positions from the
wrong positions. But Donald Trump went out there and said she's not black based
upon this completely sort of retcon to manufactured past,
you know, when Jim Clyburn said you had to pick a black woman
and Joe Biden said I'm gonna pick a black woman
and then you pick Kamala Harris,
no one said, wait a second, she's not black,
she's Indian, right?
I mean like Donald Trump didn't say that,
nobody said that.
What Vance is doing fairly effectively there, I think,
is changing the subject to something
that's actually a defensible political argument
rather than what Trump actually did.
It does, I mean that argument did come
at the expense of defending his own family's racial identity.
And I'm not sure how you're-
What's the idea of ideal?
Right, like I don't know how you talk
to your biracial children and tell them
that you can't be all things to all people.
You get to choose in a setting of black people
that you can connect with that community using codes.
Can you unpack the infamous pig
of Jill Stein with Putin, please?
What, why?
Who gives a shit?
Like, what were you about to vote for Jill Stein?
But then you saw her sitting down with Putin
and you're like, oh, I can't do it.
Like what?
The infamous photo.
I'm willing to bet that like,
I'm willing to bet that that infamous photo
from like 2016, 95% of chat hasn't even seen
this infamous photo.
What is going on right now?
I'm with her.
I'm voting Jill Stein.
Switching.
Or you know, you can wear a different set of clothes
when you're with Indian-American families and communities.
Like that's a great way of actually being American,
being able to express these multiple identities
based on where you are.
So even the argument of she tries to be all things
to all people, again, make it about policy,
but the identity piece makes her far more relatable.
It also helps understand why the Trump administration
was adamant about not counting identities
and racial demographics within the census.
And they were trying to pull that back
because what the census shows is that America is a browning.
It is a mixed race nation that by 2040
that is going to be the majority of the country.
Uh-oh, I won't say that now.
People are going to get scared.
And not confronting that is part of Trump's problem.
And I think what's interesting to both your point,
the back half of Senator Vance's argument there,
or response there, was what every Republican
would like to be talking about on a regular basis,
including, I think, the co-campaign managers of former President Trump's operation.
And yet, it's not like he's going to walk away from this.
In fact, he's amplifying the false attack on the vice president and a racial identity
posting on a social media account.
This is a photo of Harris wearing a sari and a family photo today, writing, quote,
your warm friendship and love of your Indian heritage are very much appreciated.
I mean, J.D. Vance has a photo of himself in traditional Indian wear at his wedding.
Yeah.
I don't know, what are we doing here?
Right, no, it's a completely idiotic line of attack,
but it also underscores the fact that the Trump campaign
having been given all the time in the world to prepare
for the possibility of Harris as the Democratic nominee
apparently hasn't come up with a focused and disciplined
line of attack to make against her.
They can't decide, do they wanna go off
after her as a flip-flopper?
Do they wanna go after her as too far left?
Or now, do they wanna go after her
I think the least promising possible grounds and the most morally odious her way that the way that she lives out of race
But is that I mean if you watch their ads and if you listen to what sir advanced said in the back after that
Respond like it feels like they know and they feel like they have a message that they can and not a really work
I've been searching for a little bit and it's not them. It's him
Yeah, I mean like the ads are focused so far on immigration. I've seen some ads focused on the economy a month ago
I think I even saw some ads
I think in North or South Carolina targeting younger black men so the
campaign from an operational perspective I would argue they're doing
everything right it's got the street issues it doesn't the candidate the guy
at the top it also doesn't have an overall narrative about the other
candidate well that's right they're not drawing that contrast for that four
or five percent of people in the middle some of those moderate leaning
ours is some of those swing voters who may have voted for Republicans in the
past who sort of on the fence the more you racialized this in my
opinion I think you push those individuals further away you look at some
of the metrics so far Kamala Harris is slowly improving it's about 90 plus days
to go she can continue to steady increase those numbers and I think if
you're not drawing the contrast you're not talking about issues economy
immigration costs of living from a Republican perspective and begging that
question about why she flipped flopping all over the place yeah you're not
winning feel right you know and one thing we've seen when we saw see this
with fans you can go out and say well actually Trump meant to say this we
We saw this all during like four years of covering Congress just going to come back and
say the thing he actually said again, and you're going to look more foolish for having
made this kind of sophisticle defense.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris, I think loves this story.
I don't think that she has any difficulty.
I mean, her entire answer was come say it to my face, plays into the whole debate
her argument like that.
Asian people on CNN.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Asian panel I've ever seen. They're eating good today. Like they were like, let's bring
up, let's put together the most Asian panel we can get together. Is this actually the
most diverse panel that they've, that I've ever seen on CNN rise up Asians. All right.
I don't know why, but my wired magazine article is out and it's like in print. So it's
kind of hard to fucking actually find the article itself. This
is a, this is the, the, the Wired Magazine Middle East. And we
got some photos from it too. And it's pretty funny because
like I had the mustache and the I had the mustache in these
photos when I was doing the photo shoot. And it makes me
looks so much more Turkish. I realize like it makes me look the
most Turkish. One thing that I'm sad about though is that there
was one photo that I was very excited that and I thought they
would post it because it's like a really it was a hard one to
fucking take. And they didn't even fucking post it, which
I'm kind of bummed by. It's gonna get worse when you're
older
journalist
what's gonna get worse
but yeah we got some photos back from it
you're saying i'm gonna look more Turkish when i get older
you could be the Turkish guy in those Turkish Airlines mini movies you watch
at every takeoff i love Turkish Airlines by the way
what did the photo they didn't use look like it was me jumping
we faked it on a trampoline when i wasn't even actually jumping on the
trampoline
But instead, I was actually jumping with a laptop in hand.
The close-up one was insane.
I was just very, I was very stoked that, like,
all of this, like, designer shit that they made me wear fit me.
Is this the close-up one that's insane?
Did they style you? Yeah.
No, this was, like, a legit, this was, like, a legit photo shoot.
This one, I looked the most Turkish, bro.
Look at this. I look like a Turkish aunt.
Here's the interview. Sompiger, widely known as also have a line as a prominent Turkish
American streamer and political commentator, born in 1991, has Sompiger has made a name
for himself through his Twitch streams, where he discusses politics, news, social issues
and current events. His background includes roles of broadcast journalism producer for
the young Turks and columns of health posts, known for his left wing prospectus,
Piker blends gaming and serious discourse, aiming to both educate and entertain his
diverse audience. I love how this motherfucker turned up the Arab 90% as soon as he heard
Why Middle East bro? I don't I didn't I did not I don't know why it looked like that
I don't know why I look so
like Turkish uncle coded
Isn't that crazy?
Like this photo I look like I did
Like a like a rcta race change to arab
I don't know why
I have never looked this Turkish I don't think
I do not think I have ever looked this Turkish in my life, dude
They hit you with the Arab gun. Yeah
Anyway, you're area on a grand date. Well, I am Turkish. So it's not like it's that out of pocket
It's a miss you to me was hop the modems. You should listen
This one is kind of lame. I'm not gonna lie. It like there was I think there were probably better photos
But yeah, like this is the most Turkish I've ever looked I think in my life
Oh, you can see her you can see her diapers if she was on her period, you know, embarrassing.
What do you have to say for yourself?
Huh?
We got your diapers on fucking wired magazine Middle East.
She don't give a fuck for your mustache in an entirely different shape.
Literally you.
What is this?
Fuck, it was you. Come on, bro. This dude is way hotter than me. Are you kidding me?
Diaper in a magazine photo. That's brass summer. Did you glue a fake mustache?
What no man, this is
Continuing the trend of streamers and magazines holding random tech. I know
Was a little different. This was Vogue
Get her spade. What are you doing?
She's a large dog. He has a way to avoid hip issues and other stuff is recommended by his vet not a random twitch
Thank you. I feel like I've read this so many. I've repeated this so many fucking times that like people literally know now
And my favorite are these photos of these two. I love this photo of this photo's fire
This photo is awesome. Even though like I said it makes me look so fucking Turkish
Like I I need to be holding a test be
Like this photo, I can see myself holding a TESBI in this photo.
It's just, they just like photoshopped it out.
Cigarette in one hand or chai.
Okay, paoshankana, the blood of a rabbit, tea in one hand, and TESBI prayer beads in the other.
You look like a 4.67 star Uber driver.
Kawhihaanidabini, kethkhali-jakmr-singhi-liria.
Alright, let's read the article.
Carla Sertin, you've built yourself a pretty large audience across socials.
Why turn to social media as a way to reach people?
I think that given the confines of acceptability in mainstream politics, I don't necessarily
fit that role.
I don't necessarily fit the ideology that's permissible under neoliberal politics in
general.
The leftmost position in those circumstances is oftentimes going to be the modern Democratic
Party, plus some socially very radically progressive opinions on certain things.
The internet has allowed someone like myself to exist, like thrive and even be a
of voice to mention voices. On that front, I think it's great. The democratization of
information dissemination is great. It's awesome. He pauses. I said a lot of shin words. I hate that.
Does that democratization ever come into conflict with what you're doing? Everyone has a voice
now. So there's a lot of clutter, a lot of chaos online, and a lot of information that
isn't factual. How do you cut through that noise? You nailed it. This is why it's a
double a sort is the other. This is the other side of the issue where I think some people
take advantage of this Democrat democratization and maybe some might even say that I do that.
A lot of people take advantage and become grifters. They promote misinformation specifically
because they want to hawk a product or sell something else that is truly damaging to
the discourse. The point is we do not have media literacy in general. We didn't have
a good, we didn't have good media literacy even when we only had eight different TV
channels and maybe 20 newspapers. The unfortunate reality is that we haven't even
begun the broach critical media analysis in the internet era. That is a massive issue.
The other thing I try to explain to people is like, I'm holding your hand through this
media journey. I'm holding your hand. My job, the way I see it is to hold the hands of an
audience through the experience of going through the New York Times, going through, going to
Al Jazeera and all these other websites, reading the articles, and sometimes reading
through the lines because they're oftentimes under the guise of objectivity. There's
a lot that gets emitted. I also often have a policy of not covering breaking
news. I'll try to address when something is developing and try to explain to people like
we should take a breather. We should sit back and wait for proper verification from mainstream
outlets. Where is it that people are struggling the most in your view? In the broadest sense,
the biggest issue is that there's a lot of distrust in mainstream media. There's a
lot of distrust from the average person. There are valid reasons to be critical,
but there's also a lot of invalid reasons to be critical. The female dog's being
getting hip dysplasia is a wives tale by the way. Yeah, no, my, my vet is actually spreading
wives tales and every vet that I've ever been to because it's not even the female dog spaying.
I had a male dog that was pretty large in my vet said the exact same thing back then
as well. Different vet. Whenever there are life changing events that are happening
like globally important phenomena that the media is covering in real time, depending
on their built and biases, depending on the volatility, depending on whatever the
feeling of instability causes. A lot of people who completely write off these outlets
that are supposed to be unifying, at least in the way of disseminating truths that are
supposed to help us.
Another part of that is the move towards infotainment, not just major media, but even for players
such as yourself.
How do you balance media and message?
I see a lot of value in what I do, in being entertaining, because my perspective is not
one that is often represented in major mallets.
I want to ensure that I'm reaching as broad of an audience as possible.
That means doing collaborations and tapping into new audiences that normally would
not be familiar with who I am, and then trying to present them with an alternative
view that they have maybe never been privy to, or even explaining to them parts of American
history or global history that they've never really thought about. Entertainment plays a
big role in what I do for sure. This doesn't mean that everyone could do what I do. If
everyone was doing this, then there would be no real objective news. There would be
no journalists and no investigative reporting. I always value journalists, the outlets.
I always value what makes your media is there to do. You've been outspoken about
Gaza. Have you seen a change in attitude or perception towards Palestine? Absolutely.
I've been an outspoken advocate for Palestinian emancipation for the past 10 years professionally
in my media career. There is more momentum for Palestinian emancipation in the Western
world, especially in our demographic in the under 34, 35 year old age group. I've never
seen such strong continued resilience support for Palestinian emancipation in my entire
life. I never, ever in a million years would think that there would be hundreds
of thousands of people protesting in the West in the immediate aftermath of October
I lost a big chunk of my community. I lost I would say a third of my community in the past nine months
I think that even the original naysayers and extremely critical people have arrived at the same conclusions as me I
Think there was parts of it where I said obviously that's nothing in comparison the lives lost in Gaza
But I guess they cut a bunch of stuff out for
As I was yapping
Why is there such a pronounced difference particularly online?
It's social media in general. I think that social media, especially the TikTok, shows the Palestinian experience directly from the mouth of the Palestinians
and automatically humanizes them, like people like Bizaan and Motaz.
People see that on TikTok. They see the death and violence and the destruction, everything that you normally don't see on CNN,
or things that you see on CNN, they get immediate contextualization from someone with a clear agenda.
That is the normal modus operandi in the way that the American public has heard about Israel.
Social media has completely changed that dynamic where you have thousands of people that just have phone cameras and e-sims and are just regularly recording and explaining their immediate conditions to hundreds of millions of people.
That directly runs counter to whatever narrative that mainstream media tries to cultivate.
An analog I have used in this situation is that social media doesn't have the capacity to genuinely make change, but it does have the capacity to motivate mainstream media, television and newspapers, magazines,
magazines to actually cover issues in a thorough manner without omitting key details.
I think that level of scrutiny pushes mainstream analysts to provide significantly better, significantly
more truthful coverage.
If there are a lot of people that are saying, why aren't you covering this?
They have to cover it because otherwise they're losing an entire generation of people and their
power is diminished.
And I don't know if I want their power to diminish.
In times of need, I think that it's important to have trusted resources.
I guess the cliche is when someone is saying that it's raining outside and another party
saying it's sunny outside, the job of the news is not to report on both sides of those things.
Their job is to open the window and peek out.
Someone needs to peek out.
We can't just rely on user-generated content to cover these stories.
This was in Wired Middle East.
No, not GQ Middle East.
It was Wired Middle East.
This is Peak Lib Cope.
What?
There's never been a moment in my life where I've like said that mainstream media is unnecessary.
I would not be able to do what I do without mainstream media, without like actual journalists.
I have friends that are working at these outlets.
I have trusted sources that I rely on that work at these outlets.
How many people will see slash read this?
I mean, what 33,000 people just did.
Yeah, I'm such a live dude.
That's why I'm talking about Palestinian emancipation
Namely something that gets broad coverage and mainstream media
Yeah, I'm trying to get I'm gonna get a copy so I can get you to sign it
I don't know where we can find it sir. Talk about genocide Lamel. That's so funny
You got me dude. It's funny that you mentioned that because it's not like I denied the Armenian genocide
I don't know why the fuck you would say that unless your race piece of shit who had a man who automatically assumed
that I must, because I'm Turkish, but like I said, there's another photo that didn't make the cut, I don't think, and I don't know how to reach out to the photographer and get the photo, but there's a really cool one.
Or at least I thought it was really cool, but I should post these on Twitter.
That classic hairstyle goes wild on you. I did a photo shoot. I'm gonna tweet this and an interview
We're wired Middle East
never
More Turkish in my life
Post them on Instagram bro fuck Twitter yuck. No, I'm gonna post them on Instagram too

Don't you dare post that out without giving the photographer credit? Well, I don't know what the fucking photographers at is
What do you want me to do don't you dare? Okay, I'll

And this, by the way, this, by the way,
it looks like I'm actually on the thing, but I'm not.
I was jumping behind it.

Bodie or not it's not boy. It might be
Yeah, the sweater the other one was Margiela
Margella, Balenciaga shirt. This is all Margella. Like all of this is Margella. It's on the bottom

how it works.
On magazines. Okay. They have certain brands that they want to display. Okay. And they
They choose those brands ahead of time and you don't have a say in that process.
Okay.
I didn't pick any of these clothes.
They told me to wear those clothes and I wore them.
We've reached a woke school part of the stream.
Yeah.
Except for the diaper she's wearing.
Yeah.
Kaia's Dipey was Louis Vuitton.

Yo, check this shit out. This is the video collage. They made apparently
No, not this. This is the this the vertical one and there's a regular one
Social media has been phenomenal in uplifting independent voices
It is a plated role in actively democratizing information.
So that's definitely a great bonus for content creators out there who normally don't fit
the confines of otherwise liberal or conservative media.
Media literacy is really important.
Be kind to individuals.
Be ruthless to system.
Okay, they paid the...
First of all, I gave credit to the late great Michael Jemal and Brooks and that,
But those are just like bits and pieces of some of the things that I mentioned, but they didn't I'm gonna I'm gonna post it
streaming in social media has been phenomenal in
Lifting independent voices. It is played a role in actively
democratizing information
So that's definitely a great bonus for
Contagrators out there who normally don't fit the confines of otherwise liberal or conservative media
Media literacy is really important to be kind to individuals, be ruthless to systems.
That's sick. Next time you let a chat, I'm going to say be kind to individuals, be ruthless to systems.
I did two different interviews. One was like an impromptu one after the photo shoot at the end of the day.
And they clipped parts of that interview and posted it in the background.
I also did like an official interview with a journalist from the magazine.
Pretty good overall I think.
Were these interviews made?
Or are they going to be made into interviews on YouTube?
I don't think so.
You get the questions ahead of time?
No.
Hasan go help WT put together her furniture.
She's on the struggle bus.
Who's WT?
How about you worry about your own struggle at the top of the hour when there's a three-minute average, you know
You no longer want to
See those ads all you need to do subscribe don't struggle at the top of the hour. There's a three-minute average now
Wt used to be cute even now is w not a lot of people know why oh
Articles he says you blend gaming with serious discourse. Okay calm down
And then I want to say something else. We just had your little photoshoot moment
Here is the last person in America that's talking about how some people should be sober, okay?
Her past is something that she should be embarrassed of.
Her past three and a half years in the White House has been a joke.
You have to look at this woman and say, you know, is she sober during the last three and a half years?
I mean, she just...
That's a question that I ask about Judge Jeanine all the fucking time.
I and many others who would not vote for Biden will not vote for Kamala Harris if she selects
Shapiro as a running man. This is anti-Semitism. And at the heart of the Democratic party right
now, they're not even bothering to hide this as Representative Brian Mast. I love that Representative
Brian Mast, a Republican, is fucking complaining about Kamala Harris' VP pick being Josh Shapiro.
And it's like, it's like, are you going to vote for Kamala Harris, Brian?
Okay, we got to play this
That's crazy off my bad president.
That's so good.
I feel like Trump shooter.
Damn, I almost got some head to back.
I feel like Trump shooter.
Last second, shorty turned away.
This is literally, this is, we gotta run it back.
I almost got some head to back.
I feel like Trump shooter.
Last second, shorty turned away.
You miss 100% of the shots, dude.
Don't take it. I feel like Trump shooter.
Sometimes you shoot and miss them anyway.
Can't turn pussy down.
If I see my ex I will talk to her I just miss the head like the Trump shooter
I feel like Trump shooter, Mr. Man, cause the longest I feel like Trump shooter
Sometimes you shoot your shot and you miss me, I feel like Trump shooter
Hard guard, that's what inches make a big difference
Not detectively, no, I'm crazy, off my maddest dick, president
It's pretty good, I don't give a fuck
It's funny, it's good as hell dude
Yeah, no, he's on a, he's on a roof and everything
All right friend of the show Walter
Masterson went to the RNC and trolled a bunch of the fucking magas. We're doing hog watch, baby
It's time that you went full mask off
All right, you got it you got a roll advances the VP back
I'm here at the RNC. I was there to witness people's reactions when Trump announces running
mate J.D. Vance. I'm so tired of people calling Trump a Hitler. Trump is not a Hitler. Well
I mean J.D. Vance at it, but he, all right. J.D. Vance did say he didn't call Trump America
as Hitler. That's just so sick. J.D. Vance's opinions and views were very similar to mine
when Chunk got first elected.
You called him America's Hitler?
No, I never called him that.
What?
When did you call him that?
You called him America's Hitler.
No, I want to slap him just for that.
Anybody that calls that man Hitler should be slapped.
You better look at who Hitler really was.
Hitler was a vegan, vegetarian.
So there's our first problem, I mean.
We're also taking people's temperature
about Trump's P-Pick JD Bass.
What do you think?
My wife told me about it.
I'd have to do a little bit of research on him.
NRA supported Vance's candidacy,
gave him the highest possible grade for a non-office holder.
Vance repeatedly attacked red flag laws and assault weapons
bans.
Oh, he's one.
JD Vance has supported banning port.
I agree.
I agree.
It should be banned.
He wants to get rid of no fault divorce?
Right.
I agree.
I agree.
Come on, man. He's right in the pocket of the no fault divorce situation. Okay. He's
holding on to that wedding band for a dear life. You know, you know, his wife left him
a long ass time ago. He's still wearing that shit. Okay.
So yeah, um, he says, I've reviewed a lot of projects 2025. There are some good ideas
in there. Um, you know, so there's, uh, and see a big up. Are you a big government
a small government guy. I think small government. Yeah, that's why we should have it. I think
there have been way too many things. Way too many. JD Vance endorsed a plan to cut Medicare
and turn it into a voucher program. He complained about Social Security and Medicare's effect
on the federal budget. He praised John Huntsman for supporting Social Security cuts. Chastise
Rick Perry, you know, for supporting these programs. Climate change. What do we think?
I don't know that I buy it.
Vance refused to say that climate change
was man-made, denied that there was a climate crisis.
He promotes more fossil fuel production.
How do you feel about the nuclear family?
I think we need to.
Yeah, most definitely.
JD Vance is, he believes, states that he believes marriage
is exclusively between a man and a woman.
I believe that.
Yeah.
It doesn't mean that I don't love the people
that choose to do the other, you know,
except I don't hate them, you know,
but I don't think it's good for a nation.
I don't think it's good for people, you know, of course, to live in a way that dishonors God calls for completely defunding Planned Parenthood completely 100% like day one, day one, they needed to stop it.
Yeah, no exceptions for rape or incest deputized as private supports, deputizing private citizens to sue abortion providers called Roe v. Wade and Abomination cheered to the Supreme Court's decision to overturn it.
uh, supported legislation to ban abortion federally at 15 weeks.
Right. I agree.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean I never knew this stuff about him. I never knew anything about him.
Well, so now that you know all this about JV Vance, you like him more?
I would say yes. Yeah.
Well, those are in line with my values.
I really like what I've heard, you know. I mean I don't, you know, I'm just taking
what you was reading there and going, yeah, I agree with that.
I don't know, you know, I mean, and I say that, I'm saying I'm not a Republican
because I'm like the staunch Republican.
I'm a Republican because you're the best thing I believe in the value.
It's about Jesus first.
It's Jesus absolutely first.
When you think of democratic value, Jesus...
Jesus would have loved no fault divorce.
Jesus would have hated no fault divorce.
Okay?
You don't understand me, that's why I love...
His bro campaigning for JD Vans are making fun of him.
Just let him cook.
Just wanted to close and...
Holy shit, this is an hour and 20 minutes... an hour and 12 minutes long.
God damn. I didn't even realize it was like that. Okay. I don't think I'm going to watch
the whole thing. I was wondering why it was so, uh, why he didn't put up like all the
best parts. U S recognizes Maduro's rival is winner of the Venezuelan election. Oh
dude. Okay. Nevermind. Nevermind. Okay. Now I, now I'm, now I'm reaffirming my
my commitment. Now I'm reaffirming my commitment to Maduro. Oh, brother. That's crazy. Oh,
can you talk about Iran? I miss the sort of stream. No. Yeah. Walter's been making a
lot of really good. Walter, Walter's been making a lot of great videos, making fun
of the right stuff, date the right stuff or whatever. Wait. So do you think Maduro
I didn't originally I was I thought it was like, you know, I thought that it was a little odd
now. Now I think he did, even if he didn't. The United States on Thursday not recognized
Venezuela's opposition presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez as the winner of the country's
disputed presidential election. The announcement by Secretary of State Anthony J. Blinken comes
despite a claim by country's authoritarian president, Nicolas Maduro, and by the government-controlled
electoral body that Mr. Maduro won the vote.
Mr. Maduro has yet to produce clear evidence of a victory and election officials have failed
to provide a vote count.
Mr. Gonzalez's campaign says that it has receipts from more than 80% of voting machines
that indicate that he won the election by an insurmountable margin.
Mr. Blinken in a statement said that given the overwhelming evidence, it is clear
to the United States and most importantly to the Venezuelan people that Edmondo
Gonzales, URUTIA, one of the most votes in Venezuela's presidential election on Sunday.
We congratulated Mendoza-Gonzales, URUTIA on a successful campaign.
Mr. Billington, continue.
Now it's time for the Venezuelan parties to begin discussions of a respectful, peaceful
transition in accordance with Venezuelan electoral law.
It's wild how we talk about other countries, like it's so funny.
Come on now.
Like, that's an insane Maduro 100% didn't win B for real right now.
I don't think so. I don't think he, listen, you want to know what's funny about this? I
think that every single person that disputed in Latin America, every single person that's
like even remotely left that disputed Maduro's election victory, including AMLO, including
Lula will probably turn around and be like, nope, nevermind. Maduro won. He's the
the legitimate president, myself included, despite not being of Latin American descent.
Because you can't like this in and of itself, this in and of itself is literally just like,
it will negatively polarize people, like it will negatively polarize people against like
every country looks at this and goes, dude, this is like, this is ridiculous.
Lula Petro for Columbia and Amla had a meeting today to talk about Venezuela and
They have had a clear list, see the results, but no intervention, which is what's happening
exactly.
If America just shut the fuck up and took a step back for once, I'm almost certain that
I'm almost certain that like these other countries would be like, let's actually look, let's
intervene or let's, you know, let's see the vote results.
Let's analyze how you actually won this victory.
Because like it is a little, there is, it didn't pass the smell test, at least for me on my first, uh, observation.
Now, obviously, I'm over here. I don't know what the fuck's going on. It's hard.
Having said that, however, having said that, however, immediately as soon as America comes in, it's like, oh no, we actually recognize, uh, the, the other side is the true and just leadership.
Most of those other countries that otherwise would have been like, oh yeah, let's demand some proof that you actually won.
It's gonna turn around and be like, okay, never mind. We were my bad
Like they're fucking the bag up for the Venezuelan people as they have always fucked the bag up for Venezuelan people in general America
I mean little long paper sheets are key to declare victory of Venezuela's election
countries main opposition coalition both claimed and president Nicolas Maduro and the country's main
Opposition both claim that they had won Sunday's presidential election national electoral authority proclaimed Maduro the winner the opposition represented
Mundo-Gozales said it had evidence of the contrary. Okay, electoral authorities
installed more than 30,000 voting machines and by law the opposition had the
right to represent the Tives et al voting centers, but not all were allowed in
Sunday or were ousted before the polls closed. After the polls closed, Venezuela's
electronic voting machines can print sheets tallying all the votes each
counted. I've said this already, I said this in my last, when I covered it,
like Maduro is not a popular president or a popular guy in Venezuela. Part of
that has to do with corruption, part of that has to do with mismanagement, and a
big chunk of that has to do with the sanctions placed on the country of
Venezuela that is absolutely gutted and crippled Venezuela. These sanctions
that are placed on the country of Venezuela are deliberately designed to
create this kind of politically volatile situation in Venezuela so
that you can create a structure where the people will inevitably rise up and overthrow
its government.
Okay?
Like, he is, he is on, he is not a popular person, especially because the longer the,
the more younger generations become voter eligible, the further they are away from
the Shavista movement.
he immediately he came into popularity by writing the the Chavez wave a lot of
Americans also never recognized Chavez as a popular leader either but Chavez was
demonstrably fucking popular okay certainly polarizing but still demonstrably
popular so popular that he basically fucking carried Maduro as a legacy
pick okay of course he was demonstrably popular by some of the most voiceless
people in western media, you know, indigenous populations, poor populations, rural folk,
those people don't get a lot of fucking coverage in American news in general. But that doesn't
matter because those people still fucking vote. Okay. And Chavez was also an incredibly
charismatic figure as well. So, so that popularity basically carried Maduro, but
the crippling sanctions, the crippling sanctions on Venezuela, like I said, paired
with a mismanagement of Venezuelan currency, an inability to diversify its productive output,
and corruption in general, made it so that like more and more people who didn't fucking,
who didn't grow up and know what it was like,
like, who didn't get captivated by the Shavista momentum and popularity are of course understandably
like, well everything I've known, growing up in this fucking country has been shit.
And it's because of the guy in charge.
So in a way, in a way, American sanctions are over the course of a decade have basically
become successful in creating a genuine anti-Maduro wing in the population regardless of political
ideology.
This does not mean that every single person that hates Maduro in Venezuela is actually
a fucking right-wing crystal fascist or whatever. There are a lot of right-wingers in Venezuela as
well, okay? Of course, many of them now live in America. Go to Miami if you want to see what
right-wing Venezuelans look like and think. Having said that, however, this does not mean
that the genuine anti-Maduro sentiment expressed by the Venezuelan population is actually coming from
just right wingers. Okay. I strongly disagree with this line. Sanctions have never really
worked as a popularity adjustment. Sanctions, over the course of the sanctions, the Venezuelan
government's GDP sanctions and also the OPEC plus like sanctions and the price of oil dropping
dramatically together have literally destroyed the Venezuelan GDP like 99% almost I mean
I'm exaggerating so you're if you if you act like the sanctions did not play a role then
If they didn't play any fucking role in like genuinely creating an economic catastrophe in
Venezuela, then there would be no sanctions on Venezuela
Come on
Let's be for fucking real
doesn't every country have a right to stop trade
Uh with another country whether it's China, India or America especially for moral reasons great question
Why is it that America happens to stop any other country on the fucking planet from even
Even doing any kind of trade with Venezuela then
How come no one else gives to have a say except for the United States of America also, what's the moral reason?
like because
Whether you agree with this or not whether you want to whether you like it or not
on. What sanctions are designed to do is collective punishment, okay? Sanctions are supposed to
cripple the economy so that it creates volatility inside of the country that will then inevitably
lead to a real resilient anti-government movement inside of the country, okay? If we were sanctioning
countries for moral reasons, like we did in South Africa, I guess, we would be sanctioning
the state of Israel. It's so odd that there are no sanctions on Israel, but sanctions on
fucking Cuba for the crime of having a popular revolution and overthrowing a brutal, monstrous
dictator that we were supplying with arms. Hmm. So you're a declassified CIA documents
on Cuban embargo sanctions that clearly state their goals to bring about hunger, desperation
and overthrow of the government. I mean, this isn't like, we don't need declassified documents.
They openly state that Washington post Jeff Stein did a phenomenal deep dive into sanctions
and their impact on all the countries that we've launched sanctions against. Okay. New
New York Times op-ed, Venezuela's kids are dying, are re-responsible, our well-meaning
sanctions may be inflicting pain on the wrong people.
Do people think that sanctions mean just the U.S. decided not to trade with them?
I don't know what people think sanctions are.
Sanctions have historically increased support of the government.
I'm not saying it doesn't harm the economy, they certainly do, but they usually place
their resentment at the feet of the offending state and not the domestic leaders.
Well, that's why I said there's also a mismanagement on top of that, but in this circumstance
when you're a single resource economy, those sanctions destroyed the economy in Venezuela.
And there was no way out. Most people don't fucking know why they're suffering. They just
know that they're suffering, and they think, well, my government is responsible. And to
a certain degree, they are. Okay? This is the article that Jeff Stein did a lot of
investigative reporting on
how for u.s. president's unleash the economic warfare across across the
globe
in cuba sanctions imposed by the united states more than sixty years ago failed
to dislodge the communist regime but they've made it more difficult to get
critical medical supplies the island
in iran the u.s. sanctions that date to the nineteen seventies have not forced
out to her on state credit rulers
but they've only pushed the country to force close alliances
with russia and china
in syria
Dictator Bashar al-Assad remains in power despite 20 years of sanctions where the country is struggling to rebuild from civil war and more Syrians than ever are expected to need critical humanitarian assistance this year.
In country after country, sanctions have emerged as the key instrument of US foreign policy.
Jeff Stein and Federica Coco did this article.
Today, the United States imposes three times as many sanctions as any other country or international
body, targeting a third of all nations with some kind of financial penalty on people,
properties, or organizations.
They have become an almost reflexive weapon in perpetual economic warfare, and their
overuse is recognized as the highest level of government, and American presidents find
the tool incredibly irresistible.
By cutting their targets off from the Western financial system, sanctions can crush
national industries, erase personal fortunes, and upset the balance of political power and
troublesome regimes, all without putting a single American soldier in harm's way.
But even as sanctions have proliferated, concern about their impact has grown.
Sanctions also in the age of like China's rise to power also create a secondary problem
for the United States of America, a problem in which China will come and fucking collaborate
with you and cooperate with you and help you survive.
This kind of happened with the USSR and in the post-Cold War, post-Dissolution of the
USSR universe, there was no other alternative global power that could help these countries
for strategic reasons, maybe not ideological ones, but simply because they were in the
anti-America camp or they were victim to America's brutal sanctions regime.
Okay?
If sanctions did not have any kind of impact on the country that you have sanctioned, then
America would simply not do them.
Like, it's not just cruelty for cruelty's sake, there is a strategic reason for this
kind of cruelty.
Kill me?
Elsewhere, sanctions have pushed autocratic regimes in the black market trade, empowering
criminal networks and gangs of smugglers.
U.S. adversaries are ramping up their efforts to work together to circumvent the financial
penalties.
and like military action, economic warfare can leave collateral damage.
Sanctions of Venezuela, for instance, contributed to an economic contraction roughly three times as large
as that caused by the Great Depression in the United States. Now, go ahead and tell me that that is not significant.
Go ahead. Tell me that that wouldn't actually create a genuine environment of instability.
This is functionally trying to bring about man-made famine conditions,
bring about like some kind of genocidal condition, okay?
You're out of your dang mind if you think that this is not unimaginably significant,
okay? Get the fuck out of here, dude. Like I said, if it wasn't significant,
then America would simply not do it, okay? And it always targets civilians.
Sanctions have proliferated in recent years, number of entities sanctioned and
un-sanctioned by the Office of Foreign Assets.
Under Biden, they have skyrocketed, Trump also increased it dramatically, I mean, look
at the fucking sanctions that we had, and they just add on top of it, too.
Sanctions, or even just the threat of them, sanctions are just a threat of them can
be an effective policy tool, a way to punish bad behavior or pressure and adversary without
resorting a military force.
Sanctions have allowed the US government to take moral, economically meaningful stands
against perpetrators of war crimes.
They helped bring an end to South Africa's apartheid regime and contributed to the eventual
overthrow of the Serbian dictator, Lopadan Milosevic.
Even when they fail, proponents say they can be prepelable to the alternative, which might
be doing nothing or going to war.
Still, North Korea has been sanctioned for more than half a century without halting
Pyongyang's efforts to acquire nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
U.S. sanctions on Nicaragua have done little to deter the authoritarian regime
of President Daniel Ortega.
Two years of sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine have degraded Moscow's long-term
economic prospects and raised the cost of military production.
But these sanctions have also spawned a dark fleet of ships selling oil outside of international
regulations while bringing the Kremlin into closer alliance with Beijing.
Alarm of our sanctions rise has reached the highest levels of the U.S. government.
Some senior administration officials have told President Biden directly that overuse
of sanctions risk making the tool less valuable.
And yet, despite recognition that the volume of sanctions may be excessive, U.S. officials
tendency. Each individual action is justified, making it hard to stop the trend.
The United States is imposing sanctions at a record setting pace again this year
with more than 60% of all low income countries now under some form of
financial penalty. I want to read that again for this chatter that said,
don't America's actions usually not target food and allow for humanitarian
assistance. It helps weaken rival countries, but it's done morally. No,
dude. No, it's not.
The United States is imposing sanctions at a record setting pace again this
year with more than 60% of all low income countries now under some form of financial penalty.
Yeah, dude is super moral to fucking stop like medicine vials from being transported
into countries.
That's my, I can't think of how moral that shit is, it is the only thing between diplomacy
and war and as such has become the most important foreign policy tool in the US arsenal
says Bill Reinsch, a former Commerce Department official, and now the Shoal Chair in the International
Business at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think-tank.
And yet, Reinsch said, so one must ask themselves, why is a Commerce Department official now
sitting at an international business think-tank talking about America's foreign policy in
terms of economic warfare. This is maybe a line that you need to cross against one another to just
you know just think about it and yet Ryan said nobody in the government is sure this whole
strategy is even working. Economic warfare has been around for millennium ancient Athens and post
trade sanctions wait what the fuck why is this like stuck I can't know there it is ancient Athens
and post trade sanctions as adversaries. So the Domestani invasion of Kuwait in 1990 gave
rise to a new form of the weapon, an international blockade of exports to Iraq. After the Gulf
War, comprehensive sanctions made it impossible for Iraq to export oil, for import supplies
to rebuild its decimated water and electrical systems, and illnesses such as cholera and
typhoid surged. At the same time with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United
States was emerging as the world's unrivaled superpower, both financially. Yes, I know
This is the Jeff Stein interview. We'll do it. Is this the Jeff Stein interview? Oh, it is.
You know what? Fuck it. We'll just watch the video. You guys don't you guys hate when I read
Washington Post Exposay titled money war how four U.S. presidents unleashed economic warfare across
the globe. The Post reporting examines how the U.S. has increasingly relied on economic
sanctions that have left collateral damage across the globe. The Post Exposay begins
saying, quote, today the United States imposes three times as many sanctions as any other
country or international body, targeting a third of all nations with some kind of financial
penalty on people, properties, or organizations.
But the collateral damage of the sanctions is seldom discussed.
The Washington Post reports in Venezuela, which just held a contested election, sanctions
have contributed to an economic contraction, roughly three times as large as that
caused by the Great Depression in the United States.
The Post also reports Donald Trump was warned sanctions on Venezuela could result in millions
of people migrating from Venezuela.
We're joined now by Jeff Stein, co-author of the Washington Post Ex-Posay and White House
Economics reporter for The Post.
Why don't you take it from there, Jeff, in this five minutes that we have together.
Talk about making the Venezuelan economy scream.
We'll go from the effect of sanctions on Venezuela and then go to other countries.
Yeah, so, starting under the Obama administration, the US began imposing sanctions on Venezuela,
but at first they were very limited.
They were really just focused on a few members of the Maduro regime that were responsible
for tearing out violent reprisals against protesters in Venezuela, but really under
Trump, and as we exclusively reported in this story, despite the warnings of DHS officials
in classified reports about the potential outmigration effects of these sanctions,
the trump administration
that's the other aspect of this
which is that
sanctions on venezuela a company with temporary protect the status for venezuelan
migrants due to literal political reasons
is the
fucking reason why there's so many venezuelan migrants
that are crossing the god damn border
not that there's any problem with that
but it's like you did that
like you are like the trump administration is directly responsible for
and the Biden administration's directly continued that process.
So it's like, if you destabilize a fucking country and people have no opportunity to eat,
they're going to move somewhere where they can. Okay? Like, it's so stupid
that like the idea is, yeah, let's just starve these people and then expect them to do a fucking
people's revolution and revolt. Venezuela has been going to shift far before the sanctions.
Yeah, dude. That's why before the sanctions people were fucking writing about Venezuela as like literally one of the best
Like one of the most
Bro, Venezuela was so not doing so not doing bad that Fox News
I remember an article in 2012 Fox News wrote an article about how Venezuela was actually capitalist
The American Enterprise Institute was talking about how like guys hold on now
Everyone's talking about how social is Venezuela is it's actually capitalist. Okay, or not 2012 in
2002 shouldn't have backed terrorism dude you are delusional I've never backed the
United States of America and its foreign ambitions okay yeah this is it no it
wasn't 2010 sorry what socialism private sector still dominates
Venezuela economy despite Chavez crusade it wasn't in 2002 it was fucking 2010
and that was because that was because they were cake they were killing it
Fox News is from the Associated Press. It doesn't matter. The American press was writing about Venezuela as a fucking capitalist country. And there's truth to that, by the way.
There is truth to that. Venezuela brings free heating oil to poor in New York even before then.
You want to know why?
Because the Venezuelan economy was a mixed market economy just like every other fucking social democracy on the planet
The only aspect of it that was nationalized
that was unfathomable for
American capitalists that terrified Venezuelan capitalists as well and caused them to collaborate with the American State Department and
try to forcibly overthrow the Chavez
administration, was because they nationalized oil. That's it. They had a larger private sector,
and this article shows very clearly, in 2010, they had a fucking larger private sector than
France. One must ask themselves this question. How come Norway, which has its entirety of
its extraction industries nationalized, never run into the same problem that Venezuela
ran into is it because they're, uh, you know, smarter than the Venezuelans? Is that what
it was? Or is it because they never received the same level of fucking international scrutiny,
condemnation, sanctions, uh, political, uh, political ambitions of their own internal
capitalists that collaborate with the America State Department in a similar fashion?
Plenty of countries have nationalized oil sectors. Venezuela, it was treated like
it was a fucking crime. Look, while production has declined, the public sector has swelled
from about 1.4 million workers in 1999 to about 2.4 in 2010. They don't have the capacity
to manage any country, said Rafael de Vila Guari, Guari Cucco, a 34-year-old port crane
operator. They're destroying everything. That's precisely the perception Shavez shows
to fight in his speeches. The bourgeoisie is trying to convince Venezuelans that the
path of socialism is inviolable, that all businesses in socialism go bust. It's
the opposite Shavez said. He pitches cut rate prices to subsidized state-run supermarkets
like a salesman, and Tauss's successful state-run dairy factory, cooking oil plant, and the
nationalized telephone company. State-run markets are a part of Shavez's attempt to
counter 31% inflation that has been battering the country alongside a recession that strength
the economy 5.8% in the first quarter. Venezuela is now the only South American country
with a shrinking economy according to the latest figures available. Here's the growing
between Shavez and business leaders. What the fuck? Did they change this article?
This article was like literally fucking talking about how sick Venezuela's economy is and
how it's... am I... am I having a barren steam bears moment?
They updated in 2014.
I still... I didn't read this article in 2010, I read it recently.
Not recently, but a couple years ago.
Anyway, strategy being selectively nationalized companies set state-run supermarkets promote
worker-managed businesses while trying to convince Venezuelans to accept this vaguely
defined brand of 21th century socialism. It's hard to sell a country hooked on consumerism.
Oh, here, this is the one, yeah, yet creating a socialist economy is one of Chávez's most
elusive goals. A stark example of this could end between the president's rhetoric and the reality
on the ground. In fact, the private sector still controls two thirds of Venezuela's economy,
the same as when Chávez was elected in 1998, according to estimates by central bank.
Venezuela is socialist, but they prosecute the communist party of Venezuela.
No, dude. I'm not there. Not I'm not saying that and neither are they
okay, the point is that
Much has been made about
Uh, much much criticism and lies about socialism in Venezuela
Socialism in Venezuela is destroy the markets is destroy the government destroy the country
And it in it it objectively did not
Okay, and it was not a socialist country at all
It was barely even a transitional socialist state, but not socialist.
The reasons are political and practical.
Chavez knows most of Venezuela is a recall from the idea of Cuban-style state control
and the government is far from being able to take it over and running a majority of
the economy.
Yeah.
Anyway, let's continue with this.
And really choked off the main source of export revenue.
96% of Venezuela's export revenue comes from oil sales.
what the U.S. effectively did over the course of three to four years was to block those sales
from occurring international markets and that really strangled the joint ventures that were
sort of the life.
Yeah, that's it. That's it. That's the key thing. They're a single resource. They
They are a single resource economy, okay?
And Chavez, to his credit, tried and failed to increase agricultural output.
Now, if you notice, the reason why he was pushing for state-run grocery chains is because
a lot of the supermarket chains in the country are owned by like a couple families who are
all obviously right-wing psychopaths, right-wing capitalist psychopaths who also happen to own
all the fucking media companies.
They're also the same people that once again collaborated with the American government.
That's why when the first coup was launched against Chavez, which was by the way thwarted
by a popular uprising, the American government did what they did today. They immediately recognized
the head of the Venezuelan Chamber of Commerce as the actual legal president of Venezuela.
This did happen. I don't know why you're saying false. That is literally what happened.
I don't know why you're acting like this is not a thing that happened. It's just
regular american and venezuelan history
nothing i've said
he's contested
i don't know why you're saying it's false
all my god
yes diversifying failed because private businesses lobbying is the government's
output
they did
one of the venice willin economy this means
sort of the the oil deals that were worked out with
u.s. producers with the venice willins
that were providing them with the revenue that they needed to buy
sort of imports from other countries and when that happened
you saw at the numbers are just staggering seventy one percent
economic contraction as well as as you mentioned three times as great as the
u.s. great depression
and greater than any other peace time economic collapse
recorded in modern history
greater than many other uh... economic collapses of countries at war
including ukraine in in after the russian invasion
or a rock after the u.s. invasion two thousand three
So this is a cataclysmic event and economists go back and forth and it seems clear to me
from my reporting that the
I feel like a lot of leftists in America don't understand what to do after the revolution
and Chavez's goal after winning was to reduce poverty, feed kids, give land to peasants.
We did a lot of those things.
Improve rural living, urbanize, build hospitals, build roads into areas inside of Venezuela
that never really got that kind of, never really got that kind of help or assistance
from the government at all.
Problem is, improved literacy rates.
Problem is, those people are not the people that are ever going to get prominently displayed
in America.
Those are not the people that are flying to America.
Those are people that don't have family members in America going to American schools.
You know who does have children going to American schools, American colleges, flying
to America easily, motherfucking agricultural business giants and people that own the fucking
people that own the factories. Those are the voiceless people in every country that you never
hear about. Okay. Now this was before. I'm not talking about before. That was like what
I'm talking about is literally, you know, 10 plus years ago, many more than 10 years
ago. Okay. Now the people coming from Venezuela are everyone that is trying to not starve.
They obviously also have a tremendous amount of resentment towards Maduro. But yeah, ultimately
they try to do a coup in 2002 where Snobby killed 10 people during a shootout between
protesters and blame their Chavez. They kidnapped them until popular movement in the presidential
guard put them back in power. That's what I'm talking about. That's where the
America State Department immediately came out and said we recognize the real leader
of Venezuela as the head of the Venezuelan Chamber of Commerce.
Come on dude.
Economic collapse in Venezuela predates US sanctions.
Venezuela had inflation of over 800% before Trump really tightened the screws on the
Venezuelan economy.
But there is also no doubt that these US measures made the economic situation in
Venezuela worse.
And at the cost of, and despite that cost, did not push out Maduro's government, who
and obviously Maduro still remains in power today.
So can you say, Jeff, I mean, this is Venezuela's case, but also elsewhere, how effective have
U.S. economic sanctions been?
I mean, there was a time which you point out in the piece with apartheid South Africa,
sanctions helped bring down end apartheid also in Serbia, the demise of Milosevic's
Sanctions to start with trouble with Obama
No, even before then there were I think there were some sanctions before Obama as well, but no they
Obama Kickstarter sanctions Donald Trump increased it by really fucking high margins in an effort to literally destroy
the Venezuelan economy destroy Venezuelan existence
The regime also through sanctions or partially through sanctions, but what about now?
Now I think it's it's really hard to say academic attempt. Why don't other Western Asia's ignore the US nation the trade anyway?
I don't know maybe because 80% of of all trade on the current planet is done with the dollar
a process like Swift runs the fucking world so
So countries are legitimately terrified of going against America's wishes, and they will
refuse to sell pharmaceutical products to countries like Iran and countries like Venezuela.
That's not even a joke.
That literally is the case.
I saw on the number is 45%.
I thought it was higher.
I guess I'm wrong.
The sanctions were not that far reaching with Venezuela to the point of swift cutoff.
Brother, I don't know what you're doing when you say this, because even the threat of sanctions
causes many international cooperators of the United States of America to immediately stop trading.
Like, this is cope. When people say, like, this is actually cope. When people say, oh, dude,
you don't understand, they weren't that far reaching. Another here, here's a common trope.
American State Department enjoyers will also will also always love to say not
saying the cloud district enjoyers one of them but they will also always say what
do you mean these sanctions are not far-reaching there I'm sorry we just
sanctioned Maduro and a bunch of other people in his administration it's not
like we sanctioned the entire government it's not like we sanctioned
the entire country, okay? That's a classic fucking lie that people love saying. Well,
they'll be like, um, excuse me, the sanctions are actually on individuals. It has nothing
to do with the economy. The economy just kind of did that on its own. It just imploded
on its own completely. It's worse than the Great Depression, dude. Come on.
It's to sort of isolate the effects of sanctions and whether they have worked or
or not are very hard to quantify.
Some studies I've seen suggest that the success rate
is between 15 and 30%, which given that we have sanctions
now in some form on roughly a third of all nations
and 60% of all poor countries,
suggests a very high failure rate.
We look in the piece at Cuba, Iran, Zimbabwe,
Venezuela, Afghanistan, Syria.
These are tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions
of people who are being affected
in some form by U.S. sanctions,
where the regimes that the U.S. are intending to target
have not changed hands,
have not surrendered their hold on power.
And maybe, you know, the U.S. will say
that these sanctions are still better
than not having any measures
because they deprive these regimes of funds
at their disposal that they can use for,
you know, what the U.S. would say
are pernicious activities,
activities that the U.S. does not want to see.
But at the same time,
in terms of actually leading to changes of regime,
we don't really see that very much.
And many critics will argue that in fact,
Sancti-
It just causes the fucking leadership to harden its stances
and become increasingly more brutal.
For understandable reasons,
there is no direct analog for the United States of America.
So I can't even explain it to Americans
because you will never understand it
until you live in a country
that is impacted by Western decisions.
I say this as a Turkish person, okay?
I know what it's like when your nation has to do austerity because the IMF told you so.
So like there is no way that I can describe this to an American human being because you
have never experienced this and you will never know what it's like.
It's impossible.
That's why every like role reversal type situation has to be like basically an outside power
like a fucking alien coming down with like magical laser beams and dominating America
for Americans to be able to fucking comprehend it. They just don't know. You will never know,
okay? You will never know the way that the rest of the planet exists under America and the
Western banking systems fucking watchful eye and oppressive thumb. You just won't know.
there's no way there's no way that I can like get you to understand that huh
she's actually in and that's before we talk about even fucking sanctions you know
I mean I'm not even getting to the sanctions part I'm just simply talking
about like economic coercion bold and empower the the people in charge these
regimes in charge because they curb civil society they reduce the the
power and the clout of private sector actors that often found form arrival
Wait, hold on. This is really important. I'm going to rerun this.
Changes of regime. We don't really see that very much. And many critics will argue that, in fact,
sanctions actually embolden and empower the people in charge, these regimes in charge,
because they curb civil society. They reduce the power and the clout of private sector actors
that often form a rival power base to the sanctioning, sanctioned authority that these
these regimes in charge. And so in case after case we see very legitimate it seems, criticisms
of these sanctions regimes.
And what about Iran, to say the least, very much in the news today? The effect of the
U.S. sanctions and also how when the U.S. imposes sanctions they also pressure other
countries to do the same, of course, as we see in Cuba.
Yeah, the Iran sanctions really first imposed in really dramatic effect in 2010 through measures
passed by the Obama administration and Congress really amounted to a fascinating expansion
of U.S. sanction authority, where we really saw in a very significant way the first deployment
of secondary sanctions, which were to say, we're not just sanctioning the party that
we don't like here, but we're also going to say if you engage with measure in trade
with the Iranian regime, we will target you. And so that-
By the way, it looks like Carrefour's logo. For the record, like the primary sanctions
already ruined trade negotiations to begin with. Like the secondary sanctions make it
illegal to do trade across the board, right? But like direct sanctions already cripple trade
relations with many countries. Okay. Like it already, it already causes people to second
guess whether or not they should continue trading with this country.
That effectively represented a major expansion of sanctioning power and really seem as you
know, I see that it's almost impossible to explain USA intervention to an American. No,
I think people in this community get it. It also goes beyond that. Yeah.
We're like literally intercepting export ships and shit. Like remember what people were remember when everyone
Freaked out over the fucking Houthis on solid administration being like, yeah
If you bring if you're trying to do trade with Israel like we will take your shit and everyone's like what the fuck
That's terrorism. What the fuck that's piracy. It's like dude America does that as well. What are you talking about?
When we do it, it's like it's a given
We don't have to time we don't even have to do it because when we just say no more trade
that's it.
It stops.
The advocates like thinking about it this way.
Everyone talked about Biden giving back Iran $6 billion of frozen assets.
That was because Iran had sold South Korea $6 billion worth of oil.
That was not our money to just stop Iran from getting, okay?
We unfroze those assets as in $6 billion of oil was purchased by the South Korean government.
Okay?
That was Iran.
I know I said that.
Okay?
Biden unfroze those assets and everyone was like, dude, I can't believe you're fucking.
I can't believe Biden is giving us $6 billion of Iran and it's like, so fuck, what do
What do you mean, that's their money?
But they sold that fuckin' oil.
Well the US doesn't blow up cargo ships or remotely operated drones like you blow us
up at the top of every hour, fuck you.
Oh my god.
God damn it, I got got multiple times a day, what the fuck is going on?
As a Chinese person, I can tell you that there's been nothing better for Chinese
nationals than American Sanjus.
I've had lib-ass relatives that like the US turn complete 180, and now they talk
like they want a nuke New York City.
say that in this, they're literal fucking America lovers in here. They're gonna hear
you say that and you're like, oh, this is why we're gonna nuke China first. We got a nuke
by dreams. That's what they're gonna say sanctions to be a very effective approach because obviously
in 2015, the Obama administration worked with the Iranian regime on a nuclear deal
that that sanctions advocates hailed as the product of this pressure campaign. That
said, the US under Trump pulled out of that deal. And so any people who say that the Iranian
sanctions under Obama were successful have to contend with the fact that we abandoned
as a country that deal quite quickly and left the Iranians in the lurch and have
since then seen the Iranians work with Russia, work with the Cubans, work with other
powers that the US is opposed to on form.
That's why it's so funny when they're like, oh my God, I can't believe this is like nuclear
submarines, Russian nuclear submarines on the coast of Cuba.
And it's like, yeah, dude, we deserve it.
Okay.
I live here.
I could possibly get new too.
But let me tell you, okay, as someone who fucking lives here, like, what do you think
is going to happen?
Of course, dude, we made that shit happen.
Cuba is literally in the ash cheek of the United States of America.
a fucking tiny as island slammed in like swimming distance to the world's most violent imperialist
superpower. Okay. And like we're shocked that they're cooperating with other countries after
we literally had one of the most gruesome most brutal crippling sanctions regimes
for the crime of overthrowing a violent, brutal dictator that we happened to like and gave
a shit ton of arms to because he was operating the island like our own personal fucking sugar
plantation and tourism destination for our mafia.
That's it.
That's what the fuck Batista was doing.
We were like, that shit's awesome.
Keep doing that.
We're going to give you all the guns you need.
Okay, King.
Oh no.
You got overthrown.
Oh fuck.
sanctions time that's the history of cuba it is one of the most unimaginable
wrongs
that the country is done to another country it is universally condemned
and nobody can do a goddamn thing about it
and they're still over there
surviving
in spite of everything else
forming rival on financial networks
that leave open the question of whether
there's even the possibility of further ron sanctions being effective
now that they've formed all these rival sort of trading
networks that operate sort of as a shadow trade system
to what the US, the sort of Western financial system
that is the predicate for punishing Iran via sanctions.
And Jeff, very quickly, we have 30 seconds.
What happened to the 2021 plan
to overhaul the US sanction system?
Yeah, we exclusively report in our story
that a group of Treasury staffers
had a draft of a report far more extensive than what they ultimately released. They had
dozens of recommendations, including measures, really meant to check.
In the next week of Maduro does not show data polling station by station. I don't know if even
the progressive president can hold out like they did today. The State Department in opposition
will sponsor violence in the streets until enough chaos to force Maduro out if the
military which has which high ranks are loyal to him extremely corrupt cave
that's why i said though
that like
i don't know if america had not fucking come out like this
that's just that's not just people you can the history of south america minus
the i a supporting cartels yes
the progressive president's referring to lula petro and omlo yeah
the rise of u.s sanctions particularly of us sort of central coordinator right
now is a little bureaucratic, but there are many parts of the government that throw out
sanctions ideas.
They get rolled together in State Department and Treasury Department sanctions and push
forward.
And there's really no one body that is evaluating whether these sanctions are operating in the
context of an overall broader sanction strategy.
And Treasury staffers drew up a plan to say, let's put that in place.
But disagreements with the State Department and the overall inertia of sanctions where
They seem so easy, so effective.
They seem to the US government much easier than going to war,
much easier than doing nothing, or much more politically
palatable than doing nothing.
And so that plan was shelved and really
under the Biden administration.
We've just seen more and more sanctions.
Biden has imposed 6,000 sanctions
in two years and unprecedented.
Does an America support and empower
Democratic actors and give them teeth?
Yeah, Democratic actors like Saudi Arabia,
Democratic actors like Israel.
What fucking Democratic actors?
No, there's no democratic actors that we're giving teeth to, okay?
Yeah, we were doing so much democratic acting during the period of the Marshall Plan and
the immediate aftermath of the World War II when we literally fucking activated Nazi
fascists that did not get prosecuted in Western Europe to genuinely cause chaos, commotion,
engage in acts of terror with the specific purpose of overthrowing any kind of socialist
trade unionist government any kind of democratic socialist government that they had that was
empowering democracy you know that's what we did democratic actors like pinotchet which
we in Latin America every fucking country in Latin America that we have talked about
has been impacted by America's democratic actions is crazy some and the fact that
has continued really reflects the inability of the US to get this problem or to get this
number down.
This is how democracy now always ends, dude. It's so funny. It literally always is like
they're running out of time and they're hurrying through the process. So yeah, collapse of the
Soviet Union, US is emerging as the world's unrivaled superpower, both financially, militarily
governments and banks around the world were dependent on the US dollar, which
This remains the dominant currency on earth.
Today, the dollar buys access to the American economy, but also undergirds international
trade even when there is no connection to an American bank or business.
Commodities like oil are priced globally against the greenback, and countries trading their
own currencies rely on dollars to complete international transactions.
Okay?
Now, financial supremacy creates a risk for U.S. adversaries, even some allies.
But so just to be clear, the reason that Cuba sovers economically is because of the
trade embargo and not actually from communism as the state department is induction in americans right
yes american brain rod is how you end up with the payload of e goblino and americans show up in
his days they focus on how bad maduro is without acknowledging the root cause of the economic
decline is americans age and the root cause of political violence is the american interventionism
maduro bad but american intervention is the bigger evil yes right up i'm not a f***ing maduro
head, even though he loves Steven Segal and hangs out with the regip type out of the
on and shit. Okay? Not a good guy. He's just not. He's not a, he's not an
effective leader. Sanctions are the gate. Treasury officials can impose sanctions on
any foreign person, firm or government. They deem to be a threat to the U.S.
economy, foreign policy or national security. There is no requirement to
accuse much less convict anyone of a specific crime, but the move makes it
to crime to transact with the sanctioned party.
Coming under US sanctions amounts to an indefinite ban
from much of the global economy.
OK?
The system bill slowly initial targets
in addition to communist Cuba, where drug cartels
and places like Mexico and Colombia
and rogue regimes like Libya.
Rogue regimes like Libya.
As recently as the 1990s, Treasury Department's Office
of Foreign Assets Control was responsible for implementing
just a handful of sanctions programs.
its staff fit comfortably in a single conference room.
One of his major responsibilities was blogging
American sales of Cuban cigars.
All that changed after the terrorists attacked on 9-11.
Osama bin Laden might have been
the most successful terrorist of all time
because I think 9-11 genuinely, 9-11 I think legitimately
kickstarted the last era of American empire.
Like it was obviously self-inflicted,
But like, we just went into overdrive on,
we started firing on all cylinders,
both domestically and with respect to our foreign policy.
We just became this like belligerent.
We were already an evil belligerent force around the planet,
but it straight up, it straight up just,
it set into motion actions that would inevitably
lead to the death of American empire.
Yeah, like a spark on a powder keg America will collapse tomorrow at 3 p.m. Guys. Okay. What are you talking about?
I'm not a fucking economist writer for China. Okay. I'm not on the China be at the economist
That's not what I'm saying at all
See you on Reddit
What do you mean? We're just ripping ourselves apart. It's literally true
This doesn't mean he's gonna happen tomorrow
but I think
Post 9 11 the United States of America is basically the death rattle
Like it's the it's the final chapter. It'll take longer than fucking 20 years 30 years 40 years
Maybe a hundred years
But anyway, let's continue all that change of terrorist attacks
Congress and act legislation to compel financial institutions to maintain
Regards of consumer transactions hand them over to law enforcement. Suddenly US official had volumes of information on the world's
banking customers
Just as the rise of digital banking gave new insights in the worldwide flow of money as
The Treasury Department became a key player in the global war on terrorism
U.S. policymakers began to understand the power of nations financial hegemony
Experts urged a more sophisticated approach in the blunt embargo used in Iraq
I think this might have played a role in like the CIA becoming shittier in general like back then it was
Said it was way more hands-on. They would just fuck and send dudes with guns
they would send like green berets to train the most violent rapists that they could find in the country all
Of which are fascist and then they'd be like go rape some nuns, please
Here's some American weapons go rape some nuns and you know go do your damn thing
That's usually how it worked
At least in Latin America, then they were like oh shit. We could just crunch some numbers and just cripple entire economies
You know
We would do death squash it
We get some drugs and then we would ship those drugs back into the United States of America
Love them into black and brown neighborhoods do a war on drugs. You know the cool stuff
So that we can have our own domestic colonies inside of
the Imperial Corps
Since after all according to the 13th Amendment
slavery is legal
Literally is long as it's within the prison system
And then the CIA started quiet quitting. Yeah, the CIA pulled off 9-11 and we're like we did the best thing we could have done
That's it
They were like, this is my this is the greatest work that I've ever pulled off. Oh
My god, we're invading Iraq. What what else can we do?
Yeah
my magnum opus
Can't top that got a fucking got a retire when you're on top and then they fucking started quiet quitting after that
Please tell me you're exaggerating about the nun thing. Oh
I wish I was exaggerating when I'm talking about like raping nuns the the CIA and
American military trained
violent fascist paramilitaries raping nuns no that's
That's, that's real. Anyway. Yeah. Ask Anna Navarro's dad, which is crazy. Like that's
how fucking nasty we are as a nation that you can have like a prominent former Republican
now, never Trump or commentator post on the timeline that her father was a fucking
None rape or terrorist, okay? Or at the very least was connected to them. Like it's not
a joke. Like she literally said that. That's also part of the reason why I think it's like,
there's also part of the reason why I think it's, it's kind of crazy when people will
be like, oh, Benjamin Nanny, I was the biggest war criminal in the room. I'm like, bro,
come on. We're the United States of America. Like his crimes are still under our umbrella
of war crimes. You know what I mean? Like he's the little guy in the room. They also
was spiked babies with bayonets. That's also true. They would literally chuck babies up
in the air and spike it, spike the baby with a bayonet. Of course, for democracy. We're
bringing about, we're bringing about democracy. Guys, it was for democracy. The alternative
was so much worse. Can you please? The alternative would be much, much worse. Okay. God, I can't
even imagine. Okay. Exposers are more sophisticated person. The blood embargo using Iraq smart
sanctions. These advocates hoped will be more precise, applying maximum pressure by cutting
off malicious actors, proof of concepts to materialize in 2003, North Korea along the
world bar withdrawing from a nuclear weapons treaty. Treasury official under President
George W. Bush not only targeted the Macau bank that crossed payments for Pyongyang,
also threatened any banks that traded with one North Korean official howled and the measure
stymied Pyongyang's finances. The episode was a revelation for Treasury staffers. America
appeared to have cowed a foe halfway around the world without firing a single bullet or
spending a single penny.
There was a pivotal moment at Kristen Patel, who served in senior roles of the Treasury
Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network from 2015 to 2017 and now teaches
sanctions policy to an illicit finance at Syracuse University. Treasury got the go-ahead
to start pounding things with his hammer.
The playbooks who shifted to include bigger targets and more aggressive enforcement in 2010
Barack Obama worked with Congress to prop sanctioned his own to force Iran to give up
his nuclear ambitions.
The Justice Department began levying billions of dollars in fines on Western banks that
defied Treasury prohibitions.
These sanctions applied not just to Iran, but also to firms trading with Iran, undercutting
Tehran's links to international markets.
Iranian leaders buckled, decided to seek a nuclear deal that promised to end the financial
isolation, which is why what Donald Trump did was so insanely fucked, by the way, like
so impressively fucked.
Like, you would think America can't get any worse, and then, you know.
Your tires have petroleum in them, I'm afraid.
This is a boy-boy video.
So I think I'm going to have to confiscate your tires.
They're going to take my tires, so there's oil in them.
I've been waiting for this for a long time, so I'm going to take them.
This shows the far-reaching consequences of sanctions,
and how fucking it's not just marginal and irrelevant.
I got a pen.
Tensions with North Korea are at an all-time high.
We've seen rocket tests on one side
and aggressive military drills on the other
and just mean nicknames all around.
And just when it starts to reach boiling point,
We somehow avoid nuclear war and just slap on a bunch of sanctions instead.
It's really good, we like dodged a bullet with that one.
Well, maybe the US dodged a bullet, but this new round of sanctions,
it cuts out 30% of North Korea's GDP.
I mean, you remember the financial crisis of 2008?
That only cut out 5% of America's GDP.
The worst recession since the Great Depression.
Okay, now picture that, but multiplied by 6.
The worst recession since the Great Depression.
Ah!
Yes, exactly. And this is exactly what the North Koreans are going through right now because of these sanctions.
The West has been setting these sanctions on countries for decades now.
Yeah, yeah, but come on, these aren't your regular everyday sanctions.
They call this something completely different.
Targeted sanctions. Targeted sanctions. More targeted sanctions.
Smart sanctions. Smart sanctions. Smart sanctions.
Oh yeah, the smart sanctions. These ones are so smart that they killed 576,000 Iraqi children
in just four years in the nineties.
Haven't you seen the news? Those are the old sanctions.
These are the new smart sanctions.
They're so advanced that they only target the people at the top of the regime.
The order allows for targeting individuals.
Target individuals.
Sanctions which personally targeted North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Put North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on its sanctions list.
So these new sanctions on North Korea are banning over 50% of petroleum import into the country.
And you know what this means?
It means that Kim Jong-un personally
cannot drive his car to the rocket factory.
That's ridiculous.
You know that these smart sanctions
affect civilians the most?
No, no, no, no, no.
I bet that if you implemented the same smart sanctions
into Australia, people would completely understand
that these are a necessary surgical procedure
that only targeted the Prime Minister.
How could you possibly prove that?
No, no.
I know just the guy to settle this bet.
Faster than an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Missile.
Less visible than a stealth bomber.
An unwelcome visitor from a much more powerful country.
It's sanctioned man.
It looks so young.
Bro, this was in 2017.
Look, look, immediately, bro.
Kim executed teens recently for consuming South Korean media.
We're literally talking about America's sanctions actually being responsible for the death and
destruction of an endless number of teenagers in North Korea.
And you over here are like, well, dude, Kim is executing teens in North Korea for, for,
for consuming South Korean media.
It's like, brother, brother, do you not hear what's going on?
And no, I read the story.
They actually executed them because the kids were not pulling the trains fast enough.
And one of them reportedly did not share in a communist way his rat to eat with his fellow
comrades.
That's why they executed the kids.
outside on your board there. Because of the new United Nations Resolution 2375, I just want to
let you know I'm moving back tomorrow with some more nines to put on the side, to change the price.
What price? Well the price at the moment is $911 per litre. There's a new section on petroleum
which is changing the way buses run, so our only running buses that are currently down hill
This is the kind of sarcasm that gives you in trouble on Billy Billy, okay well you know
I don't know what else you want me to do maybe I should wear like a fucking I should
were Maoist garb. Do North Koreans even drive? How does it affect them? Yes, dude, what? Yes,
North Koreans drive. Like there are cars in North Korea chatter. Yes, it's not as you
know it's not like New York City low-key that's not a terrible question oh my god
yes yes dude North Korea has cars and yes people in North Korea do drive there's
a lot less cars in general but yes of course they have cars
buses and taxis
it's crazy because they actually hired all those people this was eight years
ago. Dude, the thing is, North Korea used to be fucked after the collapse of the USSR.
Like, fucked, okay, massive famine. Did America do anything about it? Fuck no. They were like,
yeah, let them die. Who cares? But since then, they've, all things considered, they've
been able to dramatically recover from those circumstances. So a lot of people operate
on the conditions that like North Korea looked like in the early nineties, or maybe
even in the early 2000s, but since then obviously there has been a economic recovery. It doesn't
mean that the situation is great. That doesn't change the reality that the government is
incredibly restrictive. Partially it is because of the consequence of crippling international
sanctions, lack of international access in general, and this leads, I think, the paranoid
leadership to be even more despotic. But no, they're not fucking Amish.
No, the reason why I'm not saying that the Korean War is because post-Korean War, North
Korea's recovery, all things considered, was pretty solid. They were in a better
circumstance even after America destroyed pretty much every fucking city they were still in a better situation due to one
The the relief efforts that we're getting from the USSR and the trade that they were engaging in with the USSR and
And they were actually better off than even South Korea for quite a while
When people think about North Korea they think about like
Post collapse of the USSR North Korea
it is funny though because it's like like there is there's no normal reaction to the situation
because it's like like either you think that they're eating rats and like pulling trains
by hand or you think that they're like eating burgers every meal and everything is super
fucking sick and they just like love their glorious leader and they cry because they
love him so much. And like, it's not somewhere in the middle. Like, there's no, there's no
normal way of analyzing. I rarely ever meet people that just like look at the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea as a country that has been incredibly like wrong historically
and is the way it is as a consequence of like, imperialist ambition. Chachi Vidi thinks
population of 26 million people only have 10k cars. Do you think it's a racist thing or anti-communist
thing? It's probably an anti-communist thing because South Korea is literally right there
and people love South Korea. They fucking look at South Korea as like the new Japan.
Wouldn't Iran be like a good and elegant situation just to less develop more isolated
version? Not that West always understand Iran but yeah what do you mean? I mean dude are you
Are you kidding me? Iran is also Muslim. They'd literally think Iranians live in mud huts.
Like the average American probably would be shocked at seeing how fucking developed Iran
is. They, like there are people in Iran right now watching me. Okay. Right now as we speak,
there are people, their motherfuckers that live in Iran that are watching me. Okay.
Either through VPNs or I don't know. But like that is a, that is unimaginable to the
average American they're like what what do you mean in their mud huts in their
pants when they drive their camel to work like
Thank you guys.
Thank you guys.
This might seem great, because I'm just looking at a nation.
And we're taking a look at bulls that can train petroleum.
And the guys that need sanctions.
So I think I'm going to have to take these bulls.
I don't know. I'm sorry about that.
I'm sorry. I'm trying to take it.
No, excuse me.
Are you...
Anyway, that's that's the point is that like the notion that
Sanctions do not have like massive consequences on the entire population and only harm where the fuck to the article go
shit
Did I accidentally turn off the article?
God damn it. I have fiber optic and you don't bitch shut up. So does has below, okay?
so does
So does has below they have fiber optic. I don't I fucking hate it
I mean that's one Hassan at least that has fiber optic, you know what I mean?
Anyway, Congress got in the act of flooding the State Department and what the White House with the request for sanctions
that in some case appeared in 10 cut off form competition from
Homestate Industries in 2011 a holiday party in the hotel Harrington in downtown Washington Adam Suzubin the director of
OFAC sang a song titled every little thing we do as sanctions to the tune of every little thing she does is magic by the police
Some experts saw the surge as spiraling out of control. Those experts were pussies. It
was good actually, bitch. That's what I said to those experts.
Ha! Smart Sanctions were made to be a buffet of choice where you fit the particular and
post sanctions of the offensive vulnerability of the country, said George Lopez. Instead,
policy makers walked in the buffet and said I want to pile everything onto my plate.
2014 Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea from Ukraine presented Treasury with a huge
challenge.
Countries like North Korea and Iran were viewed as serious national street threats, but nobody
believed they were integral to global finance.
Now Treasury was forced to confront one of the 10 biggest economies of the world.
A wrong move could send global markets really.
By the way, this is the real reason why like we don't want the Chinese smoke either.
who had once labored in obscurity took recommendations directly to cabinet officials who were simultaneously hearing from alarmed Fortune 500 CEOs in the heads of Wall Street banks.
Sanctions were suddenly a key feature in the reemerging great power competition among what Moscow, Beijing and Washington.
You get requests and comments from seemingly every corner of the government.
Why have you not imposed sanctions on these people? And what about those people?
Adam M. Smith, who served as senior advisor OFAC.
Regardless of your Democratic revolving in the thought process was, why would you not continue to do this?
But government officials began to notice problems with the Treasury's new regime, saying some
Russian targeting allies President Vladimir Putin and state banks had no effect on the
control of Crimea. European leaders grew angry over fines levied on their banks. Wall Street
power brokers started to grumble about the cost of complying with the designate instructions.
The number of sanctioned entities appeared to be growing too fast for olfactory keep
up nuance bread confusion request for clarification poured in and the number of losses against
the agency triple turnover intensified. Yeah, by the way, this is like straight bully shit
because like another part of it as the chatter also mentioned the best part of sanctions is
you can steal the money too, which is like insane. You can freeze the assets or maybe
in the nuclear option, you can literally take the assets, which is what we're now
uh... choosing to do with with the russian sanctions as well
with like
in in the situation with russia yet they kind of do deserve a little bit of that
smoke okay they're doing something really fucked up
and they're just not stopping
but it is wild
that america that does what russia is doing the ukraine all around the
fucking world and has done historically even worse
uh... then what
uh... russia is doing ukraine which seems unimaginable when you think
about it because it's like wow that's fucking crazy
I'm not saying this is a defense of Russia. I'm saying this to explain to you how shitty America is, okay?
We get to also then put sanctions on other countries and take their money.
Anyway, more existential challenges emerged as well.
The power of sanctions lay in denying foreign actors access to the dollar, but if sanctions
make it risky to depend on dollars, nations might find other ways to trade.
In 2016, Obama treasurer, Sector Jack Lew, warned publicly if sanctions overreach in
the risk that their overuse could ultimately reduce our capability to use sanctions effectively.
And yet the incoming Trump admin again found new use for the financial weapon as it applied
more sanctions than ever.
As President Donald Trump used sanctions for retribution of ways never conceived ordering
them, for instance, on officials with the International Criminal Court, after it
open war crimes investigation into the behavior of US troops in Afghanistan and another country
which is not mentioned in this article. Although I love Jeff Stein and I think he did a phenomenal
job on this article, there was one other reason why Ben Suda, the Gambian ICC prosecutor,
got sanctions. No, not Iraq. That country was Israel. That's right. Benjamin Netanyahu went
went to Donald Trump, it directly was like, yo, deal with this shit.
And Trump was like, Oh, say less.
Ben Suda, the very same Ben Suda that was was being harassed,
threatened, doxxed, and also ritualistically humiliated by
Israeli newspapers, and was, of course, round the clock
surveilled by Mossad.
You know, that's what good guys do.
Let's continue.
So, sanctions impact, high severity, Iran, 1979, North Korea, 50s, Venezuela, 2005, Cuba,
1962, Syria, 1979, medium severity, low severity, low severity, got Lebanon, Mali, Ethiopia,
Zimbabwe, Nicaragua, Somalia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, Belarus, China,
Burma, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan, New York, you stinky baby.
What?
What does that even mean?
The Trump administration also hit Venezuela with crippling sanctions, aiming to discredit
the dictatorship of Nicolas Maduro and encourage an opposition movement.
The penalties failed to oust Maduro and are now often blamed for exacerbating one of the
worst peacetime economic collapses in modern history.
The abuse of this system is ridiculous, but it's not treasurer or fax fault.
They're good professionals with all this professional work being shoved on them.
They want relief from this relentless never-ending, you must sanction everybody and their
sister, sometimes literally system said Caleb McCary, who served as a senior
staffer on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and was the State
Department's lead on Cuba policy during the GWB administration.
It is way, way overused and it's become out of control by the time by the
time Biden's inauguration came around, a consensus that emerged among his
transition team that something had to change.
Summer of 2021, five treasury staffers worked up an internal job
proposing the restructure of the sanction system and ran roughly 40 pages, but like the three previous admins,
Biden's team found the power difficult to give up. It's just like, it feels so good to do sanctions.
You know what I mean? So why would you stop? Have you even considered how good it makes me feel
to implement sanctions, to genuinely collapse the economy of a nation that I have declared
a foreign adversary. Nobody ever thinks about it like that as a treat. Treasury staffers
watched their bosses take out key parts of their plan, including a provision that would
have created essential coordinators, said the people familiar with the document. By
the time the Treasury publicly released its 2021 sanctions review in October that year,
40 page draft that dwindled the eight pages and contained earlier documents most toothless
recommendations that people said people familiar with the matter blamed internal disagreements
with the state department for the extent of the charges are changes and said treasurer
leadership also opposed revisions. A state department spokesman declined the comment
four months later, Russian troops marching to Ukraine and Biden unleashed an unprecedented
volley of more than 6,000 sanctions in two years. And not only on Russia,
The Biden-Amenist penalized targets, including Israeli settlers in the West Bank.
Sure. Former government officials in Afghanistan. By the way, we also still
literally retain ownership over all of the Afghan government's money and refuse to give it back to
them. But that's besides the point. Including Israeli settlers in the West Bank is so funny,
putting that there. You're talking about an entire country versus six fucking terrorists.
six six total terrorists that literally we dialed back up that's right USS is
really bad I still have to close the accounts of sanctions settlers never
mind guys we backpedaled because Israel was like no the fuck you're not doing
that to our but those are some of our best terrorists excuse me have you
seen how inbred those fucking douchebags are? They're like top level West Bank
settlers, okay? You are not touching their money. Anyway, let's continue. They spit
on so many Catholics, dude. You don't understand. Some of them say they have
the best Lugis, okay? The best. They've only killed 11 Israeli people thinking
that they were, you know, Palestinian. Why would you sanction them? Meanwhile, the sanctions
are alleged federal dealers in Mexico, North Macedonia, spyware company, meanwhile, Sanchez
the Biden had said he would ease such as those imposed by trauma Cuba, were largely
maintained under pressure from Capitol Hill. Despite the view that top administration of
visuals with the embargo is counterproductive and a failure, we just have to keep it.
You just have to keep it.
There's nothing we can do.
Biden and Aminus take a step to mitigate unintended consequences.
Last year, Treasury announced that it had hired economists to staff a new division analyzing
the economic impact of sanctions.
It's called the Flex Squad, where they look at how fucking hard they've dunked on some
of the poorest countries on the fucking planet.
They're like, damn, we really fucked these motherfuckers up.
Humanitarian groups have praised Biden and Aminus efforts to ensure critical medical
supplies and food can enter countries under sanctions. In some critics, worse fears have
not materialized. The dollar remains the world's top reserve currency, at least for now. Sanctions
are an important tool that can help promote our national security, but they should be
only used as part of broader foreign policy strategy. Deputy Treasurer Secretary Wally
out the Emo said in a statement, 2021 Sanctions review has provided a useful roadmap to
help us refine the use of this important tool, the watered-down version.
But other problems appear to be getting worse. Current and former U.S. officials
describe OFAC's workload as overwhelming. The agency inundated with tens of thousands of requests from the private sector.
Huh. Why is the, why is OFAC getting requests from the private sector to do sanctions? Like why is commerce so heavily involved?
Why is the State Department so heavily involved? I just don't understand it. I don't know.
Must have some
really important connection between
capital and
American State Department interests like that kind of thing
Some White House officials of outsource national security questions the non-provids that brainstorm scenarios in ways sanctions would have to be massively ramped up to confront US
adversaries according to people familiar with the matter in late 2022 senior White House advisors again held discussions about reforming US sanctions
Includes their talks that include a Biden aides talk about the need to set guidelines for
economic statecraft, including limiting the use of sanctions to moments when core international
principles that underpin peace and security are under threat, one of the officials said.
But those ideas were shelved in the face of more pressing demands.
The mentality in almost a weird reflex in Washington has just become, if something
bad happens anywhere in the world, the U.S. is going to sanction some people.
And that doesn't make sense, said Ben Rhodes.
But we don't think about the collateral damage sanctions made, uh, damages sanctions the same
way we think about the collateral damage a war road said, but we should.
Anyway, this is a part of a much larger piece, uh, including but not limited to how the Trump
White House was warranting some Venezuelan could fuel migration, which it did.
You know, did you remove your shit mod yet?
I mean, the answer is no, but I just want to know what he thinks is my shit mod.

Okay, like making a joke about a
the, uh, the, the rugby player and this chatter, who very obviously cares a lot about trends

that. There we go. We solved it. Most polite Twitch chat conversation. Were you talking
about the Algerian boxer? I did already, but to answer your question, no, I do not
