It is September 24th.
It's Tuesday, September 24th, 2024.
Good evening from Lebanon, Kappa. Not a good evening in Lebanon, I suspect. Maybe that's
why you're putting up the Kappa. You're half Pakistani. I am not. But I could be. Is he
talked about Marcellus Williams dog? How can I have? How can I have talked about Marcellus
Williams already? I talked about it briefly yesterday, but how can I have talked about
it already. I just started the broadcast. Okay. I just started the stream. How am I like,
like you're in here. It just happened. It just, I just did the intro. I'm not even done with the
intro yet because right now for those of you who haven't been here before the uninitiated,
this is the part of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal news, but what's going on
in the world of a song, house on a piker. Um, is a junior Watanabe car hard collab shirt
for those of you who are asking. That's what the flannel is. Um, that is what I'm wearing.
Anyway, folks, folks, folks, folks, personal news time. This is part of the broadcast where
I tell you about what is going on in the world of a song, house and I'm a piker in
between the time period where press the stop, shaman button, press the start streaming
button. As far as one piece updates goes, there's a lot of one piece updates. Wano
was heating up again. I'm in like 1049 I think. I absolutely admire one of the two teams that
is doing the animation for all the fight sequences. You guys know exactly what I'm talking about.
They're so fucking good. And then like that change of pace though, going back to the
regular animation sequence, the regular animation team that is doing like, you know,
the running parts and all the other shit, it like kind of pisses me off a little
bit but whatever um genuinely a don't lick your nipples you're gonna lactate again
away our greedy rats yeah I feel you that's the team that becomes a main team for eggheads
so keep pushing when you see 1015 your mind is gonna explode my man I already did it was one
of the best episodes of one piece but it was probably my favorite episode of one piece 1059
Um, which fight are you at?
Uh, Luffy is back, uh, riding on, uh, riding on Moanosuke into battle.
That's literally where I'm at and, uh, Yamato and Luffy, uh, collapsed at least at this
episode like, uh, collapsed a little bit.
I might think you're her pup.
That happened to my dog and my brother, lol.
She kept thinking she could nurse him.
I don't think Kaia thinks I'm her puppy.
I think she knows she is my baby, my child.
But yeah, is Nick staying with you?
Please tell me he's in LA, waiting for QD's event.
You two are my favorite streamers.
I asked Nick that he told Nick that he could stay with me.
He said he's probably going to go back.
I think he might have gone back already.
I don't know if he actually stayed in LA or not,
but if he did, he's not staying with me,
which is kind of disappointing because I wanted him
to stay with me.
I even told him, you know, Arthur could say as well, need be, but, um, anyway, oh man,
megafaunix is so back.
Megafaunix is so back in a big way.
Once again, uh, he is just blasting.
He's blasting shit in the chat.
Uh, I said one leg bro.
What the hell?
I just started.
Okay.
I just.
Anyway.
Where was I? Personal news wise. Yeah. Watched a lot of one piece last night. Okay. Watched
a lot of one piece last night. It was fantastic. It's finally getting good. I did like eight
hours and 30 minutes of nonstop news coverage yesterday, which was a lot for my brain.
I think we got to maybe dial it back a little bit, but it was cool. Like we watched the
watch the CNN debut, the NBC debut. It's like kind of crazy seeing all of these like big
news outlets just like give props to the boy, talk about the community, you know, talk about
what I've been up to. Um, but yeah, wild state of affairs overall, PlayStation is happening
today. We'll probably watch the state of the play, the union, the PlayStation state
of the later when it happens. I'm asking you about the fucking PlayStation event. You already
know that famous rant. I don't have a lot of hope or faith in PlayStation as platform.
But yeah, we'd love to see you talk to Alex O'Connor about religion, atheism and agnosticism
been recently addicted to your content. We'd love to see you having a discussion
with someone as talented as him. But what? Like about atheism?
So associations using aquariums, that means they're regulated for their animal welfare
standards that means a portion of the money that they raised goes directly in the conservation efforts
Sandiae goes you goes way above and beyond in conservation efforts, so they litter you know california condors is the huge bird
Okay, we'll see them today um
Birds are scary. Okay, so condors there were like 22 left
Yeah, how did you not know the california condor? Yeah, well
Didn't but now I know now. I know
Your retweet was fire. Oh, yeah, this was uh, this was like a really good
Snapshot of what does you what the silly-ass zoo stream look like honestly?
All right, so you see Jason reacting to you being sad about him fighting this is that what's so, yeah
Yeah.
Did you see Jason beat the f**k out of Blackboard Max show, uh, so earlier last night, I watched parts of it.
It gave me heartburn, dude, watching that.
Watching, watching nephew throw hands made me sad.
Sad.
No.
Why?
It's not good.
good seeing nephew be God what is this on hangout with Jason Facebook such a loser and
cringy people IRL hi how are you you probably are there we talked about the kick shrooms

hanging on by a thread okay nephew can't get CTE he's still bright yeah bro nephew nephew
doesn't have a lot that he's working with already, bro. We don't want him. We don't want
him to lose what remains up there. All right, we'll blast off. We'll blast off folks, folks,
folks, folks. Not much else going on. My, my, my bag is a little tight from yesterday
because I went nutty mode. My bag is a little tight for mistakes. I went nutty mode on
the fucking deadlifts. And for that reason, you know, I had a chill ass morning, nothing
crazy, you know what I mean? Nothing too wild. Just a little, little ball sash. I'm a bit
of a fucking, I'm a bit of a three point merchant, you know, I'm a bit of an assassin
from the three point line. As of late, you know, just, just doing the damn thing,
better and better from different areas different areas on the court there you

the day's fit we're fully committed to fall everybody we are fully committed
to fall. It's time to fucking really start dressing now that it's like 60 degrees at night.

Anderson balloon pants on perfect form for a forward or center law. Okay. Bro chill.
It is what 92 degrees in LA dog. It's literally 70 and it was like 60 this morning. So chill out
They made an anime out of Hassan Abbey's life

won because they are the protagonists yeah no shit Trump is buying boats I'm
reasonably sure there's a federal crime if that's a crime I don't want to I don't
want to be legal you know what I mean how's the post fate looking pretty good
um anyway we'll we'll get to all of that okay but let's do it let's blast
off alright getting the does a treatment from mace your media fighting at UN
talking up his genocide and Molo is about to and Molo defends abolishing
Bill of Buster. It's over. Harris loses national poll to Trump. I mean, yeah, what do you expect?
He wants it more, dude. He wants it more. You've been killing it lately. Keep all the great
work you do. It truly brings up so much positivity in such a depressing world. I try my best.
Israel is loving on getting the Gaza treatment for MSN Biden at UN talking up his genocide.
series about the executed innocent man 41 days out Kamala defense abolishing
filibuster and more woke gaming later it in now Robert De Niro denounces Trump

It's incredible. And also the elusive samurai. Another incredible shell.
here's this before I go take a shit oh I saw this this was so funny it's kind of
crazy that like Howard the pager's terrorism that's just blatantly wrong
but good try buddy I now understand why Hasan said what he said that one time
that's crazy that like a meme like that can get 44,000 likes like that is
insane that that many people knew exactly what he was referencing and
and like liked it. I can't comment on this because digital footprint. Have you seen the
new horse girly game coming in set an ancient Mongolia called windstorm legend of Kimori?
Yeah I have. But like if you're gonna be a fucking like Mongolian guy or girl, I think
one of the most like if you're gonna dive into that lore which is unexamined in the
western world in my opinion like it's criminally underrated. I think not going into like not
going into like, uh, like the conquest is kind of silly. Did you see the kaya of penguins?
Yes, I did. Pesto is a big girl. SOS. There's something wrong with this penguin, bro. Um,
I've been more invested on the mood dang shit. So one piece liberals fans law. Wait, what?
I'm not a terrorist and I don't want to be a terrorist. What? I don't even know what this
post is and I don't care. Oh, cause the actor is Russian. Yeah. No shit, dude. Nico
Robin is Russian guys. Like I am a firm committed believer that like I'm a believer
in the, in the, uh, like I'm a believer in the Guyanese or Filipino or Latina, Nico Robin.
Okay.
Like, you know this already.
You know this already in my heart, Nico Robin with the bangs is like a member of the global
Latina belt.
Okay.
She is not Russian.
She is not Russian post post time skip. She is. And that's fine. But that's the weakest
form of Nico Robin.
Hey, let me write a story for New York times about mood. Dang. It's just a cute article
might be good content, but totally understand. If not, what the fuck? Mood dang. The name
translates to bouncy pork has united the internet while following a familiar path
to stardom.
I love Moodang so much.
I will probably not be reading the article,
but congratulations on the New York Times article on Moodang.
She deserves it.
Another Austin TikTok has hit the tower.
Why do you show me this stuff, man?
That's the Baby Penguin clears Moodang?
No, it doesn't.
Shut up.
Oh, my god.
OK.
And in America, your dad has to attempt
assassinating the president for you to be charged with CSAM,
breaking the son of the man arrested in the assassination attempt of Donald Trump before
it has been charged with possessing child sexual abuse materials. The FBI says, wait,
that we knew that already.
We knew that already. Oh, never mind. This is a Ryan Ruth. This is Ryan Ruth. Never
mind. This is Ryan Ruth's dad. I thought they were talking about the other guy.
I thought they were talking about, wait, no, the son of Ryan Ruth. Wait, what the fuck?
He has children. Damn. I thought we were talking about the dad of the, the, the, the, the first
assassination attempt who was a libertarian. I was like, damn, like that's not shocking.
You know what I'm saying? Ryan Ruth has kids. What the fuck? NATO dad or CSAM son.
Yeah, I'm going with NATO dad, man. What the fuck? I don't want to see Sam son. He hates
his kids. According to another article. Yeah. I mean all the children of, yeah, all the
children of NATO are his kids now. Okay. Uh, excuse me, Brian Ruth adopted 1000 NATO
trained Afghan soldiers. Okay. Hello. I knew that he had children. I just thought, you
You know, 1,000 of them that were NATO trained in Afghanistan. I thought those were his children.
My child had CSAM. I would hate them too. Yeah, bro. You're not my child at that point,
brother. You belong to the federal government. Okay. You are now in the custody of the state,
my friend. Yeah. No, get the fuck out of here. L baby L child. Okay. Zero fucking
Riz no aura on that child dude the fuck are you doing it the fuck out of here yeah no motion
no motion child bro zero motion minus aura this is who I am now this is how I'm going
to do serious political commentary going forward it is pretty funny though because like I just
can't the Ryan Ruth story bring something out of me where I just cannot even for a
a brief moment. Take this shit seriously. It's just such a funny fucking story, man.
He is what a character. What a beautiful American character he is. Okay. God damn. God damn,
dude. Oh, you want me to do the daily guesser before I forget here.
It is for a while, but decided to do it after chat. Me, George put last night, I started
watching you after the election and I have to say your streams have been so awesome.
I watch every night since the rush stream started and it makes me laugh all the
time I grew up in Kentucky with an F. C. Father who I've always had trouble relating to other
men especially since I grew up in a place music is not great for probably not the best music.
Oh my god. What do I do here? What do I do here? First of all, I'm going back to normal mode.
Okay. Hard mode is way too hard. Um, this is old house could be 2021 before 2021 before
36,000 subs so it's post-election I'ma go ahead and say I'ma go ahead and okay
I'll do fucking hard I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna say this is the early
December 2020 okay I gotta go right on that let's go late February 2021 wait
What still got to go right still am I going the wrong way? Am I going the fucking wrong way again?
late February 2021
Is to the left so I got to go right more. Yeah, okay
Chad always fucks me up dude. Um, it's definitely before august 2021 because that's when I got canceled for first seeing a home
home. So maybe let's do June 2021. Okay, it's not June 2021, but it might be late
May. Wait, what the fuck? Okay, it's between late February 2021 and late May. So it's April
or March. And there's only one guest left. Red means arrow means hot very close. No,
I don't think that's what that means. Late May 2021. I'm going to fail. I think,
Oh, no, I'm gonna fail this one.
Yeah, red is just the most recent guess.
I'm gonna go with March.
I don't know why I feel like it's March.
No, it was late March.
Fuck, I was closed as a mid-March.
See, this is why easy mode is necessary.
Okay, I fucked up.
I failed my own goddamn daily guesser.
Ah, okay.
Justin, president out of the line says,
Justice Hitler was stopped seven years ago,
any Yahoo and his murderers network must be stopped by an alliance of humanity. That's
my goat dude.
Regie type goat. Do on. Um, okay. All right. Let's get to it. Let's get into it. We got
a lot to talk about. Not a real house. I'm not a fan. Shaking my head. It's true, dude.
It's fucking true. Yeah. I heard Tucker Carlson plants started nicotine pouch company
after deciding Zinn is not a brand for men. I mean, this is just the perfect grip.
like rose he rose to he rose on the back of zinn to be like a prominent figure in the bro culture
and now he's turning his back on it because he wants the grip he wants to make like a manlier
fucking version of zinn or whatever i think it's like really stupid really transparent
um who gives a fuck uh fuck you tucker carlson when they're gorgeous base leftist who get
cancel for their leftist takes. I like that. Um, yeah, everybody is yelling at, uh, Chapel
Roan. And I think the reason why they're yelling at Chapel Roan is because she was like, yeah,
I don't really know if I want to vote for Kamala Harris or endorser. Honestly, uh,
there's a lot of problems on, on either side. And people immediately took that to
be like, Oh, she must mean she really likes Donald Trump. Or how dare you say that
there's a lot of problems on both sides of the fucking equation of the political equation.
You piece of shit. You must clearly be trying to farm like a, like a Michael Jordan style
in a Michael Jordan style way. You must clearly be trying to farm like the conservative voters
to like buy your product. It's like, no, I think it's probably because of what she
has said time and time again about American imperialism specifically Palestine, but I don't
know. I just genuinely don't know, but I'm pretty sure that's why she's saying that. The
issue for me at least is, like, I don't know why she just doesn't openly state it and be
like, listen, I think that I think that if the Democratic Party wants my vote, they
should seek my, you know, they should seek out my vote. Right. And some of the things
that I care about include not murdering babies in Gaza. And I think that that is probably
a good thing to stop, even if you don't care about the election, right? She should say why
for sure. She's getting flat from both sides because of it. It don't matter. Even if she
said it's because of Palestine, people will be fucking hella mad at her anyway, because
people are annoying. Yeah. I mean, she turned down, um, she turned down the White
house invite. She said she won't be a monkey for pride. The pop star tales Rolling Stone.
She considered going and reading a poet or reading poetry about passing women and protest,
but ultimately decided against it. Yeah. I mean, I think obviously like Palestine is a
big issue for her. It's kind of funny to compare her to Taylor Swift and be like, yo,
she did the right thing. Chapel Roan is not. She's fake. She's phony. It's like,
it's okay for people to have their own personal opinions on stuff like this, you know,
You can disagree with them if you want, but it is certainly okay.
You know, I find it really odd that people are just like, no, you don't understand.
You will fucking vote for the Democratic Party and you will like it and you will be excited
at the prospect and fuck you actually.
And also you're no longer actually queer.
Generally asking his travel run actually queer or she's just a culture vulture.
She moves very fake.
Yeah.
No.
They'll also I don't know why they haven't hit the she's white. She's a white woman. That's why she's doing this line
You know what I mean?
Like I'm I'm surprised that that hasn't come out yet. He's a rich white woman like Trump won't hurt her type shit
What is this liberals as soon as the LGBTQ person doesn't want to vote for Kamala Harris
I don't want to vote for Kamala. Fuck you fake lesbian
and calling out someone for using LGBTQ aesthetics while throwing the community under the bus
is based actually.
Like why do you have a fucking, I don't get it, you're a, you're a fan of mine, you have
left this in your username, you got free Palestine in your username, and you looked at this
and you were like, this person is like using LGBTQ aesthetics while throwing the community
under the bus.
just don't get it like I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure she's like I think it's a
joke maybe I'm not getting it maybe I'm yeah maybe it was sarcasm and it's
delivery alright so I saw the most brain-rounded shit about her
career rating and somehow they made it your fault Lamel I hate Twitter wait
what my fault so fuck do I have what kind of power do I have over Chapel
Rome bro I don't even I don't know her and I don't think she knows me all right
fuck is wrong with you people on Twitter goddamn it's just like there is no
greater indication that someone as brand is just so permanently fucking fried
from all of the twitch and Twitter activity that they engage in because
they see like because you know they just attribute everything to like a random
and twister room. No chatter. I also saw this. We do something like you normalize the be
supportive, but also, but hate on Democrats always mentality, which is just insanity.
Yeah, dude. I am going to fucking hate on the Democratic party unless they do shit. Okay,
her best friend follows you. Who is her best friend? Why do you know this? What the
the hell. Anyway, listen to me. Okay, listen to me, guys. This
is, please understand something. Okay. There is no reason to
have a democratic process or uphold even a theory of
democracy. If you are not going to extract concessions from
your elected representatives, please, if you do not extract
concessions from your elected representatives, then you are not doing your part in the democratic
process.
Democracy is not just like a team sport, okay?
The entire point of democracy is so that you vote for an elected representative that
actually does right by you, okay?
I find it very strange when people advocate for this inherently undemocratic position,
this inherently undemocratic position that dictates that no, you must not ask anything
of your holy overlords in the Democratic Party.
They know best if they make a decision that you don't like, they actually are probably
doing it for a really sick and really cool and really smart reason.
And your simple puny peasant brain cannot comprehend the machinations of the Democratic
Party.
Okay?
That's what it is.
Please, shut the fuck up and vote now.
I'm sorry.
That is a ridiculous way to operate.
That is no way that a democracy operates.
That's not what it is.
What if I'm anti-democracy?
Then you're anti-democracy.
That's an entirely different subject.
Well, may I never blast it off?
Yeah.
is donating proceeds to the pal to Palestine and told White House to fuck off when they
tried to pink wash her she's extremely political and this quote is chair picked out of context
is criticizing the engine of celebrity endorsement and asking us to engage directly for every
UK ticket sold one pound goes to LGBTQ rights charity kaleidoscope trust and at the Merced
Standard Manchester they're assigned rise graph print selling for a hundred pounds
with proceeds going towards AIDS, aid for Palestine, we're in charity shop costumes
fans, Kenza and Freya said they admire Ron's values.
She's probably the only artist that's really standing over things
that no one else wants to talk about of the Prince.
Ron says very carefully, it's just my duty to help send resource
to a community that is absolutely being destroyed.
And even though Kamala Harris used her deliriously goofy
feminine on in a campaign video, what we really need is a feminine
nominee and seemingly copied the design of an official Ron baseball cap.
Ron has it endorsed her yet.
And in June, while dressed as Lady Liberty, Ron told the crowd
governor's ball festival in New York that she had declined an invitation to
perform at the White House Pride event. We want liberty. We want justice and
freedom for all. When you do that, that's when I'll come. I have so many issues
with our government in every way, she says. There are so many things that I
would want to change, so I don't feel pressure to endorse someone. There's
problems on both sides. I encourage people to use your critical thinking
skills, use your vote, vote small. Vover was going on in your city. The
change she wants to see in the U.S. election year, she says instantly is
trans rights. They can now have six people make decisions for trans people.
period. Yeah, she seems like she really likes Donald Trump, I think. I think she, um, she
comes across as like very clearly invested. Um, she comes across as like very clearly
in the tank. I would say for, uh, Donald Trump, just like me, you know, I can't really
tell if she's, she seems like a fence sitter. I can't really tell what her perspective
is, you know, it's very, very stupid. A lot of the stuff is very dumb. People are very
open about what their perspective is.
This is a really good take on the travel Ronan. We know that you call everybody a Trump
supporter because you want to shut the conversation down. You don't actually think these people
that you're calling Trump supporters for having critiques about Kamala Harris and
her track record specifically with the most documented genocide of all time. We know
that you don't actually think those people are Trump supporters. You just don't
want to have an actual nuanced conversation and actually put late everything out on
on the table in a genuine way. You rather be disingenuous and-
Yeah, it's like, that's the funniest aspect of it.
It's like, first of all, half the fucking, like,
at least 30% of eligible voters are like in the tank for Trump.
So you being like, ah, you're just a Trump supporter, sweetie.
Like, that doesn't really hit that hard,
especially when Kamala Harris literally is like,
please, if you're a Trump supporter, vote for me.
Okay?
Literally, I will do anything.
Do you want me to kill an immigrant child?
I will do that at the border.
I will assassinate. I will assassinate a Guatemalan child. If you vote for me as a Trump supporter,
I'm going to do this for you. Okay. I love Trump. I love the Republican party. I'm a
big fan of Trump. Like that's the tip. That's the top of the fucking ticket. That's the
energy that they're running on. Meanwhile, all these fucking delusional losers on
the ground that are like, um, we're liberals, sweetie. We care about pride are fucking
running around being like excuse you if you have an issue with the way that the Democratic
party is currently conducting itself and it's fucking tepid neoliberal centrist attitude
on its most progressive policies and outright reactionary white nativist sentiment that
they express on a regular basis when it comes to their immigration policies and when it
comes to the complete bipartisan consensus when it comes down to American foreign policy
you must be a fucking right winger.
Also we love right wingers.
So yeah, the reality is, if people like Chaborone were right-wingers, or if people like myself
were right-wingers, the Democratic Party would actually listen to what I had to fucking say.
Because it seems like they care a whole deal more about what the right has to say than
they do about what the left has to say.
So shut your bitch ass up, okay?
God damn.
That's how you really know.
That's how you really know these motherfuckers are obviously, that's how you really know
These motherfuckers know full well that we are not right-wingers, okay?
Because if they did, they'd be suckin' on our dicks right now, okay?
They'd be like, oh my god, what can we do for you?
What kind of amenities and concessions would you like, sir?
We really need your vote because you are a right-winger and we want to be closer to you.
We love you. We love your worldview. We want to be you.
Okay?
We're gonna talk about...
We're gonna talk about Dana Fash, uh, getting ahead of herself a little bit.
alongside Jake ass tapper. Okay. John Stuart had a Israel, uh, John Stuart had a media not
criticizing Israel, uh, video. We'll, we'll cover that too. But let's get started. Obviously
in, huh, let's get started on Lebanon. Okay. One thing I want you all to pay attention
to right here nearly five hundred and sixty killed in Israeli missile strikes aimed at
his below
hmm hmm that's really interesting I guess it was another targeted facilitated special military
operation that was precise in his striking and five hundred and sixty people happen
to be in the fucking way just like in Gaza just like in Gaza right it's Israel always
trying to, you know, do their very best to avoid civilian casualties. Israel, small being,
Israel, moral, Israel, best democracy, Israel, only democracy. I love Israel more than I love
the United States of America and Israel high. Okay. They are obviously once again, just
doing the most moral and most humane military operation that's ever occurred in the
history of mankind. Okay. And if you fucking say that that is not correct, you anti-semitic
piece of shit, okay? I hope, I hope that you go to jail for that. I hope you go to jail for that.
All right, let's continue.
Matt, in the Middle East, deadly state of the war so far, growing conflict between Israel and
Hezbollah, Lebanon now says that nearly 560 people died yesterday during a barrage of
airstrikes that Israel says were aimed at Hezbollah rocket launchers that have
menaced northern Israel for almost a year now. Mass evacuations inside Lebanon underway in the
southern part of the country, and there are fears now of a possible Israeli ground invasion.
How is this any different from the US attacking any other foreign nation? Big dog, it's not.
Also, this is the US attacking a foreign nation. Israel is the United States of America.
It is not a puppet state. It is an American state. I'm sick and tired of acting like Israel is
somehow separate as a sovereign nation. If it obviously was, then we would be dealing with
Israel very differently. Israel is simply just America, okay? And not like a shitty state,
because god forbid let me tell you something okay if North Dakota had this level of smoke for South
Dakota we would be packing that shit up okay we'd be put in the fucking military we would literally
go in there to the governor's mansion and arrest Doug Burgum instantly okay and as a Burgum maniac
that would hurt because I love him I love him a lot and it would really hurt me to watch him
try to unite the Dakotas through a military action, but we would fucking pack them up.
Okay, we'd pack up North Dakota like it was nobody's business. However, however,
when Israel gets to do it, it's the, it's one of the most important states that America has.
And that's precisely the reason why they get to do it. They get to do it all the time.
The only thing you think it's possible, massage just has tons of intel in his blackmailing us.
There's 70 plus years of spy games between us and Israel. They probably have us compromised.
I don't, I mean, I think that is that a thing? Yes. Okay. Everybody has fucking blackmail
and espionage of shit. But like, no, I think that there are people who legitimately believe
that like, this is either because of their religious perspective, evangelicals, lionism
is obviously a very prominent and very important perspective to think about here. There are
Theological justifications for this there are state department interests at play here. Ultimately, I think it's just like
It is a state. It is an American state
Okay
That's it guys the mother fucking
longest term
Prime minister of israel
He's literally a dude that went to mit and grew up in philadelphia. Okay,
Benjim and Ninjahu is a man with an American social security number who literally happens to be
From Philadelphia and is the fucking Prime Minister like what are we talking about dude?
What do you mean like it doesn't get more this is America than that?
What the fuck we haven't had a guy from Philadelphia run the goddamn country, but they do
Like what are you talking about this guy is a fucking American?
intelligence asset who is now in charge of Israel what do you think is going on
do you think he fakes his accent no he sounds like he no I don't think he fakes
his accent Netanyahu is Mossad not CIA yes you're right there's no cross
pollination between Mossad and CIA what is Jeffrey Epstein then the fuck are you
talking about dude what do you mean Netanyahu is Mossad not CIA what what
does that even mean he went to MIT he grew up in Philadelphia he went to MIT
Do you think he never fucking dealt with the American security state at all?
Like do you think that he never participated in any meaningful capacity within the American intelligence community?
Are you out of your fucking mind, dude?
That's an insane, insane question. That's an insane question.
Anyway, um
More US politicians are probably more ideologically committed to the existence of Israel than politicians committed to the existence of Montana or Iowa.
Oh yes, apps of fucking Lutely.
Yes, Benjamin Ninjaho has multiple social security number,
or not one that we actively know of.
But beyond that, that's not an insect,
that's a bug-ass answer.
Yes, Benjamin Ninjaho grew up in,
Benjamin Ninjaho grew up in the United States of America
in Philadelphia, went to MIT
and absolutely worked within the American security state.
Okay, within the American espionage agencies.
He also is obviously a Mossad as well.
There's a piece from Seymour Hirsch
that I saw that I read about specifically
how when he was writing,
when he would get like front page coverage
on the New York Times,
when he had a, when he had a in at the New York Times
back when they did some adversarial journalism,
as long as it like got them,
you know, got them some decent coverage.
Seymour Hirsch was told by the editor in chief of the New York Times to go get fucking information on another story that he was talking about was like, well, I'm be in Germany.
Okay.
There was a shipment of zycom is like, well, I'm be that was intercepted in Germany.
That's a big deal.
Right.
That's weird.
Why does Germany wise?
Why does Germany have zycom be last time they had it?
That was when the Nazis were using it in the fucking gas chambers.
Right.
So, in order to, in order to get proof of this, the editor in chief of the New York
Times at the time, told Seymour Hirsch, Sy Hirsch, okay, legendary journalist, Sy Hirsch,
I have a guy.
If you want American, like, American State Department classified information, here's
the guy you go to.
He will give you, he will give you access, okay?
guy's name was Benjamin Netanyahu, also known as Benjamin Netanyi. Okay, that's it. That's
who we got the he was like, yeah, this is who I got my fucking info from. He had satellite
imagery directly from the fucking CIA of these I clonby shipments in Germany. I gave
the imagery to the New York Times. They obviously did not release the imagery because
It's hyper fucking classified, but that image alone was conclusive evidence that my reporting
on the matter held weight.
It was real.
This is something that obviously the press does on a regular basis.
Sometimes you get information on background.
You don't always reveal your resources.
Sometimes you get, sometimes you have access to classified documents that you find.
not always going to leak those classified documents in order not to maybe burn your, uh, leaker
or in order not to compromise an active case that is ongoing. You know what I mean? In order
not to be in direct contribution, like American, uh, goals in a specific area or like put an
asset in jeopardy. So for that reason, sometimes you get classified information just to provide
secondary evidence so that the editors and the editorial standards are applied to every
single story to ensure that the thing that you're covering is credible, is legitimate.
Okay?
Anyway, how the fuck do we get here?
Oh, we were talking about Israel.
Just this feminine beta wears more jewelry than my girlfriend.
We know you don't know.
Come on, bud.
And if you do, don't get her to watch this fucking stream, because you might not have
a girlfriend after feminine beta.
Nice fake tan beta boy.
Fake tan bitch.
I live in Los Angeles.
Fuck you mean fake tan.
This is my favorite type of right wing commentary because it's like, come on, dude.
You think this is, you think people don't have eyes to see?
Like, what are you saying?
Like all this alpha beta shit is dumb and childish, but like, this is one, this is one
thing that like, even the most lizard brain person that responds to like optics is not
going to be able to, you know, avoid on like the top of the, our average, which you can
avoid, by the way, um, maybe you can use your fake girlfriends, boyfriends, uh, Amazon
prime account that you can connect to your twitch account to get one free prime subscription
a month he's tilted now yeah I'm so tilted you got me you've destroyed me in the marketplace
of ideas and certainly you're not hallucinating it's the worst when you whisper I hate it
more than when Biden whispers anyway this was not old enough to be a pet now we'll keep
him as a pet I like that right here's the three minute ad break now if you don't want
to get tilted by the three minute ad break all you need to do is subscribe which you
for four dollars and twenty cents before the month of September and or for free
with a Twitch Prime by connecting your Amazon Prime account through Twitch
account to get one free Prime subscription a month. Use it on your
favorite broadcast or hopefully that's me. Here's a three minute outbreak now.
Hogs are calling you gay again. Nature is healing. Yeah, there's nothing funnier
than like, there's nothing funnier than a Ben Shapiro watcher coming in
here to be like or like a sneaker watcher coming in here to be like,
Yeah, dude, you are such a fucking beta. Like what are the standards? Who is a alpha dog in that situation? You know, who's the standard? Just a guy who says they're alpha, I guess.
Anyway, all this alpha beta shit is so dumb. He's tilted. I like your pro. And there's no why run from on who the fuck is Matan? This might be an actual child.
You grow up one day. Let's talk about Hezbollah. Or rather, let's talk about what Israel is doing in Lebanon.
And more importantly, because that is the expected outcome of events, Israel has been telegraphing that they're going to be doing this for quite some time.
The way that the Western media has immediately, the way that the Western media has immediately
landed on the exact same point of view in the way that they analyze the situation.
Okay.
Nearly 560 killed in Israeli missile strikes aimed at Hezbollah.
Oopsie.
Who are those people?
Do they have lives, dreams?
You know, were they children?
Were they elderly?
Were they women?
Nobody knows.
You know
When you are in the crosshairs of Israel, you deserve it. That's just how it is. It's so suspicious, man
It's so crazy. What are the odds?
Guys, what are the fucking odds Israel always right?
Israel's enemies always in the wrong. It's crazy. I don't know how I
Don't know how they have this incredible track record dude
Okay, it's wild
Same with America actually now that I think about it America always right America's enemies always wrong
And then maybe 20 years later we go
I'm so sorry that we did that actually that was not the best idea as we're doing you know newer versions of that regardless
And we've learned that President Biden who's speaking today at the UN General Assembly is sending a small number of additional US troops to the region
Oh, thank God. Okay. That's what I was I was worried
I was worried because Israel's always in the right and Israel's enemies always in the wrong
I was fucking worried that the 40,000
American troops that we have stationed all around the fucking peninsula was not gonna be enough to defend Israel
So I'm really glad that we're sending even more troops now
That will certainly show Israel, you know, who's the boss here that will definitely stop them from engaging in this insane
in this insane unhinged, belligerent, bloodthirsty way
as they just blow up every part of the fucking region.
We'll have more on the president's remarks in a moment
from Wida Jang at the UN,
but we begin with Chris Levse in Israel.
Chris, good morning.
Good morning, Adriana, the US.
Oh yeah, I saw there's a key US Navy oil fueler,
ran aground, had an incident Monday night.
Wait, I think I saw videos.
I saw videos from one of the dudes inside
the fucking the US NS big horn off the coast of Oman. Wait, fuck. I think it was on a Dorner
post or something where there was a dude on Snapchat being like God damn. Hold on. Let
me see if I can find it. I was wondering what this was. Hold up. Hold up. Let me see
if I can find it real quick. It was pretty funny. Because remember it's like these
guys are just like they're the people that are on these ships or some of them are literally you
you know what I mean like they have no say in this process they're just kind of stuck on the ship
and it's just like regular ass fucking dudes hold on I'll show you the fucking video I think
this is it he's like oh hell no hold on yeah yeah this is it this is from inside of the fucking
Man this damn ship started sinking!
The US Navy oiler USNS Big Horn suffered serious damage and started flooding at the Sea of Oman.
Earlier the navigation portal captain reported that the ship was run aground in the 300 meter deep waters of the Gulf.
No fuel source has disclosed any of the details surrounding the incident.
Some of those sources report that tugboats are currently helping keep the ship afloat as it is towed to Dubai.
The Bighorn is the only oiler that the U.S. Navy has in the Middle East, leaving the Abraham-Lincoln
carrier strike group without its primary fuel source or any way to refuel while at sea.
One shipowner told Captain that the Navy is scrambling to find a commercial oil tanker
to take its place and deliver jet fuel to the U.S. as Abraham Lincoln.
If the Navy resorts to using a commercial oil tanker as a temporary replacement, it
would need to install a consolidated cargo handling and fueling system as well as
entirely new controller communication systems.
Specialized crews would need to be flown in the overseas, the retro and, uh, and oversee
the retrofit.
Commercial tankers are also significantly slower than Navy oilers, which could leave the
U S S Abraham Lincoln more vulnerable to attack the Mesa serious money in these boots.
Yeah.
Yeah.
As always, they about to find out why we don't have healthcare or oil for our ships
because we are a paper tiger kleptocracy anyway.
So, you know, things are going great.
It's like the one thing that America has and even that is not working.
Okay.
Like it's the one thing that we always have money for and even that seemingly has been
hit by austerity and just like crippling bureaucracy, red tape, whatever the fuck you
you want to call it just like bottom of the barrel, like constant fucking corner cutting.
The end shitification has also hit the military folks, which is crazy. I mean, you kind of
see that you kind of see that with the F 35 program. When you think about it, like
we are capitalism is literally fucking like destroying the one aspect. It needs the
The one consistent thing that needs to run smoothly, okay, which is imperialism.
Without imperialism, you have no unequal exchange.
Without imperialism, you cannot extract natural resource from the third world, okay?
You can't do that.
But because of our nature, okay, we are literally fucking up the bag for even the
one aspect that needs to work, okay?
is pretty funny. It is it is pretty funny to think about that like all the corner cutting
ends up hurting the fucking military as well. That's phenomenal work. Honestly, this is pretty
embarrassing for the US military. Oh, don't don't worry. There's more. It's going to get
worse. Great work guys. Dude, I was in the Air Force and I worked on cargo jazz them thing
worked zero out of 10 of the time when we left Afghanistan, a bunch of my friends
were supposed to go down there, but the planes kept breaking before they could
even take off. No, no, no, I think that I think the way to resolve this issue is by outsourcing
it even further. Okay. Your clothes are on the wrong way. What do you mean? No, you, you
have to understand. I think if we consistently outsource and then those private contractors
that we outsource to also outsource the other private contractors in an effort to
do corner in an effort to do cost cutting, things will get better inevitably. Okay.
I didn't realize which is owned by Amazon, which I'm starting to boycott as they provide
cloud services to Israel and we'll invest 7.2 billion in the next decade.
I'm quite conflicted on this and wanted to know what y'all think about it.
Good luck chatter on boycotting Amazon, which currently provides through AWS, those services
to I believe approximately like what 70% of the entire internet chatter.
See you on doyen.
Okay.
Good luck though, you know, that's one of the beautiful aspects of a monopoly is that they
are impossible to boycott.
It's fantastic.
Unless you are just like going off the grid.
See you on Billy Billy.
Okay.
They're going to start.
They're going to start chatting through carrier pigeon.
Yeah.
Are you laughing at that chatter?
They're just trying to be kind and thoughtful.
I don't know.
Because it's a funny prospect like because of the did you not hear my counter?
argument to that. Are you itching for another one week ban sheltered Rosebud? It's virtually
impossible to boycott Amazon, which is precisely the reason why BDS doesn't even fucking have
Amazon as like a primary boycott target because it's impossible to boycott. Anyway, where
were we? Let's get to it. Let's get back to, you know, this military is bracing
for a wider conflict, sending a small number of additional troops to the Middle East.
Now the Pentagon would not specify how many, only that they would augment the 40,000 already
in the region.
You see that the ACP talked for one hour about you last night on live?
No, what is the ACP?
Light of the increased tension.
Wave after wave. Missiles landed across Lebanon. 1600 strikes and all according to the Israeli
military. The attacks continued overnight, setting fire to buildings and homes. Hundreds
have been killed and thousands wounded according to Lebanon's health ministry. The Israel
Defense Forces claim it sent thousands of text, audio and video warnings to Lebanese
civilians to evacuate. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this of the militant group has
belong. It placed rockets in your living rooms and missiles in your garage. Those rockets
and missiles are aimed directly at our cities, directly at our citizens.
Israeli military said, I don't understand why you find it shocking in America is supporting
Israel who is doing more doing the actual terrorism in Gaza because they have been
a long history of supporting terrorism? Well, what a refreshing new perspective that I had
not thought of. Thank you for saying that chatter. I don't know if you know this, but like, I
would say my most famous moment in like my history as a broadcast there is when I said
America deserve 9 11. You might be new here. But yeah, no, I've been known that America
has a history of supporting terrorism globally america is the largest
facilitator of terror
around the planet
but yes you're right you're correct these videos capture second it's cool though
is cool i i do actually on ironically like it when people like newcomers into
the fucking broadcast come in to say stuff like
dog you don't understand like the democratic parties actually uh... you
know invested deeply in the same corporate
uh oligopolists and that's the reason why they don't make these uh decisions despite the fact that it
makes no sense from an electoral calculus that uh you know they're not they're not doing good things
or progressive legislation because they're also deeply invested uh into by the same you know uh
corporate uh benefactors and it's like thank you you're you're right you're absolutely right
you should say a more. But maybe not to me, maybe to other people because I that's I'm the one who
say that it says that. There are explosions after the initial air strikes as those hidden weapons
detonate. Cars choked the highways as people fled into the night heading north towards the
capital Beirut looking for shelter in schools and anywhere they can find it. After a week
of crushing blows to Hezbollah, a ground invasion is almost certain, says retired Israeli army
colonel Kobe Marones.
Dude, they straight up copy pasted, they straight up copy pasted the Gaza defense policy, like
the Gaza PR policy.
It's kind of wild.
Like they might accidentally end up saying, yeah, Hamas weapons caches instead of Hezbollah.
You know what I mean?
gonna let it slip yeah copy pays bro straight up straight up down to the fucking
Hezbollah run Lebanese Health Ministry like they even said Hezbollah run
Lebanese Health Ministry man that's crazy that's crazy what a shocking what
a shocking turn of events who could have guessed once again Israel right
Israel's enemies wrong. I I mean guys these guys are just always
They just happen to be in a bad neighborhood, you know, and they're always
They're always getting fucked with and you know, they just know there's nothing else they can do. They have to kill children. Okay
It's gonna like it. No
But they understand when two million people right now under attack
Israel should do whatever we can to stop the fire to make the war as short as we can in Israel a four
to have a multi-front war well no absolutely not which is why we got all of our fucking
Marines out there dude hard dicked ready to go most lethal military of all time baby let's go
let's go another fucking generation of broken kids dude that's gonna be sick bring them back
here after they get their dicks blown off by fucking IEDs and shit on the roads of Lebanon
by a, you know, uh, a standing military force that has a lot more combat experience than they do.
But hey, guess what, dude? We protected Israel. Okay. They'll come back. They'll have their
fucking shit blown off. They'll be fucked beyond repair. They'll be able to get their
communications degrees though. And then also joined the awful dog shit fucking jobs market
that everyone else is a part of. But hey, the government paid off their fucking student loan
So there there you go
Give those guys some guns to you know, they love their guns. Let them have them
22 a fucking day, you know, you know what it is. I mean that number has gone down a little bit
I think it's like 20 a day now
Great stuff overall. I was thinking about this a lot like you know how you know how
Nazis will bring up like USS Liberty to be like America
Like Israel fucking killed American soldiers like how is that even appropriate?
Like I can't believe it and it's like dude. What do you think America like you think America gives a shit about its fucking military?
You think America gives a shit about his fucking soldiers, dude?
Like what are you talking about? Look at the state
Look at the fucking state of affairs. Okay, look at look around
Okay, you got homeless veterans on the fucking street. You got veterans killing themselves all the goddamn time
They don't give a fuck
Who gives a fuck whether it's Israel blowing them up or if it's some fucking dude in the Taliban who has been
Dominated by American military his entire life who just like obviously takes up the call the arms to be like
Yeah, I want to fucking kill these dudes and then blows their shit up
Who cares who the target is America still does not give a shit about its own soldiers obviously the fuck
Fortunately, we already have it. It's very tough
The Pentagon says Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has been pressing Defense Minister Yoav Galant
for a diplomatic solution.
Thank you for bravely speaking out against our military. I know it's must be hard for
you as a Korean veteran. Yes. I never said which part of the fucking Korean war I fought
on though. You know what I'm saying? You might be thinking, Oh, well, Turkey participated
in the Korean War on the side of America, not this Turk. You know what I'm saying?
I was out there fighting the good fight for the DPRK, baby, on the right side.
Listen to the fighting.
The U.S. State Department is warning all Americans to leave Lebanon while commercial
flights are still available.
Nate?
Chris Lipset in Israel, thank you.
And we begin this hour with the vicious fighting in the Middle East after Israel launched
a wave of airstrikes yesterday, killing 560 people nearly in Lebanon.
the Israeli military says the target was a militant group,
Hezbollah.
Israel strikes on Hezbollah, kills hundreds.
Ooh, they killed hundreds of Hezbollah soldiers?
Wow, that's crazy.
Oh no, they didn't.
They actually killed a shit ton of civilians.
They just killed 500 civilians in one fucking day.
But you would never understand that
if you just simply watched American news, American media.
Which has fired thousands of rockets into Israel
since the start of the war in Gaza.
the U S S now. Oh no, they fire 500 rockets into Israel. How many rockets did has Israel
fired into fucking Lebanon since October seven? Oh, that's right. 80% 80 fucking percent of
the back and forth tit for tat border across the border, fucking rocket fire came from
Israel, but you won't hear that. You won't hear that from fucking mainstream news either.
Okay. I like that. Uh, you know, everyone is, uh, everyone is aware at this point that like
governments lie in an effort to fucking go to war. And, uh, you know, that's just what they do,
right? With the WMD lie that the, that the George W Bush administration put forward in an effort
to go and justify fucking, um, in an effort to go and justify, uh, the unjustifiable and
illegal occupation and invasion of Iraq. Meanwhile, they're like, but also when Israel says
says there's cruise missiles under grandma's bed.
I'm going to believe it.
Okay?
Cool.
That's great, man.
That's great.
That means, yeah, you're definitely not a fucking idiot.
Okay?
Now sending additional troops to the region
and warning Americans still in Lebanon to leave if possible
to help us understand the situation.
We are now joined by Samantha Vinergrat,
a CBS News national security contributor
and former Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism at DHS.
Yeah, here is our government stooge.
Here is our former fucking agent from the Department of Homeland Security
to contextualize why what Israel is doing is fucking epic and sick and dope.
Okay.
Yes. Good morning, Sam.
So glad you're with us on a morning like today.
It seems like this just continues to escalate.
So we have like a Lebanese person on, is there any interest at all from mainstream media in
maybe contextualizing this violence from the perspective of the victims?
Now we'll have Lebanese people on.
They'll just also be government stooges working for, working within the private, private public
partnership that we have within the military industrial complex.
come in with their spreadsheets and show how sick it is that Israel is using the latest
weaponry. You know, are they're not Lebanese people with direct involvement with their family
members in Lebanon right now getting hit by Israeli rockets? Well, American rockets that
Israel is deploying on top of the civilian Lebanese population. Of course, of course
there are. We just can't seem to get a hold of them. The only Lebanese person
will have it will be a fucking phalanges who works for the fucking Middle East Institute
and has a lot of State Department experience that will go on and say this is an awesome
military campaign and totally valid and it's awesome and they should do it harder, okay?
With more airstrikes in different parts of the border with Israel, explain to us what
the latest situation is in your reaction.
Israel and Hezbollah have both been redefining what is off-limits since October 7th from a
targeting perspective. Just for context, since the mid-1980s, Hezbollah has been calling for
the destruction of the state of Israel. After October 7th, Hezbollah upped the level of its
cross-border strikes into- I love that we don't even need- I love that we don't even fucking
need, like Jonathan Kankunkrius is ugly ass Frankenstein's monster looking ass to go on
and be like, this is why we must strike hard. We must strike hard and do the bidding. We
are doing a holy war on terror. These terror children, they live, they are son of Hamas,
they are all Hamas inside of Hasbollah. We don't even need that guy anymore because
we got our own fucking stooges, dude. We got our own guys. We don't even need that guy.
We got our own guys to talk about how sick it is that Israel is pummeling God pummeling
not Gaza. Sorry. Israel is not pummeling Lebanon into submission. Okay. Look at the
Habsburg John this one. Holy fuck. Jesus Christ to Israel supposedly in solidarity
with the Palestinian people. Since that time cross border strikes have certainly
escalated and more recently Israel has launched targeted airstrikes into Beirut into the capital
with mass civilian casualties and his bull. The funniest aspect of this is the like overt
admission that they want Hezbollah to stop striking northern Israel and decouple Hezbollah
from defending Gaza, right? Like they openly admit this. They openly say like, oh yeah,
We just want you to stop trying to defend the people of Gaza, right?
That's the goal.
That's the ultimate goal of Israel in this military campaign.
That's what Benjamin Nenyeahu has openly admitted.
Okay, here's another alternative to that.
It's called stop genociding the Palestinians.
But God forbid, anybody suggests that.
If you ever suggest that, you are a anti-Semitic piece of shit, okay?
you dare suggest such an incredible, unimaginable reality? How dare you? How dare you even fucking
say that, you know, there is one other alternative out there which is called stop genociding Palestinians.
That is the most anti-Semitic thing you could have ever come up with. I'm very upset with
you.
Kofla has been launching strikes at a broader range of targets in Israel and much further
into Israeli territory.
But for context here though, you know, Hamas terrorists invade Israel on October 7th, almost
a year ago, and then Hezbollah starts firing rockets in the north, a whole different part
of the country.
Tens of thousands of Israelis haven't been able to go back home since then.
And now you have all this fighting, it's very difficult for Lebanese citizens.
Why does Hezbollah, which also has a role in politics?
Yeah, no, Hezbollah is the bad actor here.
Israel no definitely not definitely not no no how do you invade your own country
yeah Western media is so fucking awesome dude the way the way that we covered
this shit like I don't know how to explain this but this is precisely the
fucking exact same shit that they said about Hamas we have to free the
Palestinians from the grip of Hamas. Okay? We have to free the Palestinians from Hamas.
It's exactly what they said. We have to free the Lebanese people from Hezbollah. Okay?
The preemptive strikes are always justified. Okay? They're always justified. Isn't that
what Russia said too? Yes, exactly. And that's why it's a beautiful hypocrisy that you can
always point to, okay? If you want to understand normal coverage on these issues, just look
to the way that they fucking covered Russia's unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine. Why is
it that when Israel does it, though, they're like, no, you don't understand. This is like
totally valid. The fuck totally, totally valid. What Hamas got baited by Hezbollah
looks like it does not want more smoke. IDF is going to go ham on Hezbollah, diplomatic
cover for Israel to take out Hezbollah weapon stocks. Will Hezbollah respond
and con to have their high command mostly decapitated Hamas got baited by a free rave. What do you
mean Hamas got baited by a fucking free rave or like Israel literally fucking did a rave
knowing full well that there were actual military training happening right next to the fucking
border and Israel was like oh this concentration camp border we have is a fun fantastic place
to throw a fucking free rave. Let's actually do that. Let's put a fucking rave right
there next to the goddamn border wall okay seems like a good idea to me hey
guess what it wasn't a good idea and you know who also thought it wasn't a good
idea the fucking family members of people who were slain at that fucking
rave guess what they're doing they're suing the Israeli government why are
they suing the Israeli government because the Israeli government got a
million different heads-ups before October 7 lead leading up to October
7 and they were like now fuck it YOLO put the rave there anyway okay
Surely nothing will happen. And then they also fucking blasted people with goddamn helicopters
They did
They straight up did that
The Israeli government is gonna investigate itself and found and find that it committed no crime. Yeah
Gaza West Bank and soon Lebanon are gonna be parking lots. That is just the fact. It's happening
You could even say Gaza is a parking lot. Gaza is a parking lot now. There isn't much to defend
I doubt there's even 600,000 people left alive in Gaza
I don't understand why you're saying these sorts of things as though it's like a good thing. It feels very weird
To to look at like active genocide and be like it's just a parking lot now. Like you're very callous
You know, did you ever apologize to sat chapter saying the helicopter thing? This is the most important piece of it
What no
No, I didn't because at the time there wasn't conclusive evidence
And if you thought that I was gonna fucking let speculation run wild
While still simultaneously covering the Hannibal doctrine as to why this could have been a possible
Reality, but if you thought that like when all eyes were looking desperately
At me being anti-semitic
Okay, I was just gonna fucking run with that. You're delusional. Okay without conclusive evidence. You're out of your fucking mind
Jesus Christ, dude
What do you think it will take for America to stop backing Israel? Nothing. Apologize
the chat. What is the helicopter thing? He's just joking. Yeah. Apologize the chat is always
a fucking ridiculous statement. Apologize for what? Waiting for more evidence. Sorry.
I'm not going to fucking apologize for that. Americans are allowed to be callous like that
one Nazi because they never had to worry about it being them. Yeah. No, just to
get so wildly expensive that it makes the defense market collapse. Fuck no, dude.
Are you kidding me?
Listen, OK?
Zelensky is in Scranton, Pennsylvania,
at an artillery shell factory talking
about how wonderful it is that America is now supplying Ukraine
with more artillery shells that they desperately need.
American manufacturing is ramping up.
Hundreds of thousands of new jobs
are directly being created specifically
for our weapons manufacturers.
We are doing World War II.
We are doing World War II economy, war economy shit
in the United States of America
for proxy wars and direct wars, okay?
We're talking about how beneficial it is
that we have our war machine turning.
It is genuinely terrifying.
Like the future prospects of this
is legitimately fucking terrifying.
I think it's a very scary future.
Six and in public services in Lebanon,
why is it doing this to its own people?
Why did it get involved in something
That was between Israel and Hamas.
Well, as I mentioned, Hezbollah has been focused on the destruction of the state of Israel since
the mid-1980s.
It is a designated foreign terrorist organization, in addition to being a political force within
Lebanon.
Hezbollah has been attacking Israel since the mid-1980s, and there's been a series
of conflicts between the two countries.
But Tony, Hezbollah is a very sophisticated fighting force.
They have a huge arsenal of weapons.
They are highly trained.
And they have the backing of the regime in Iran.
Yeah, why did they why did they just like fucking hate Israel since the 80s? Like you think it's just like Jew hatred
That's probably what it is, right? Please don't investigate any further
Like how that happened like what what might have happened in the fucking 80s for like a group of the Lebanese population to be like hey
Yo, this Israel thing is like kind of fucked up
Cuz they're Jewish, of course, that's the reason it must be the reason that must be the reason
reason. That's how that happened for sure. Please don't Google it. Don't investigate it
any further.
It does, but Hezbollah is a highly sophisticated fighting force that would present a challenge
to the state of Israel if Israel did escalate further by launching a ground operation in
Lebanon.
When I was in Israel reporting on the aftermath of the war before the counter invasion of
Gaza, the IDF was telling me that the Hamas fight is like a fly and Hezbollah is like
an elephant. They just militarily are on a whole other scale.
Yeah. And as Tony mentioned, it is widening regionally. But do you believe that this could
escalate to an even larger scale war, which is the worry of the surrounding parties?
Well, it is already a regional conflict. Israel and Iran have traded direct strikes. Iran
has activated its proxies all over the region. But the U.S. is seeking to avoid is Israel
launching a ground operation in Lebanon.
Yeah, the reason why US is seeking to avoid that is because Israel would get fucking destroyed. Okay, the Israeli military can't even fucking deal with Hamas
In Gaza after pummeling Gaza
They're still incurring serious fucking casualties. How the fuck are they gonna also do a two-front war with a much better
equipped military
They're not
America knows, if Israel goes, if Israel pushes into fucking Lebanon, then American soldiers are gonna have to be activated.
But the reality is, they're not doing enough to stop Israel.
They're not doing enough to stop Israel from pushing for this, um, and pushing for this escalation.
Because right now, we are currently experiencing, and I said this yesterday and I will repeat it,
we're currently experiencing, you know, like man in the high castle shit, like, oh, in an alternative universe,
like, what would happen if America joined World War II on the side of the Nazis? You're seeing that.
Okay? That is precisely what is going on right now. You're watching it happen.
If you are wondering what it would look like if America joined the side of the Nazis in World War II,
Well, look no further than what happens when America does join the side of the ultra nationalist
movement, a fascist apartheid regime specifically doing genocide.
What do you mean they were on the side of Nazis?
Come on, come on, come on.
Be serious, be serious.
Okay.
Yes.
American corporations were on the side of the Nazis, and there were certainly corporations
that continued supplying the Nazis to a third degree, but ultimately, you're ridiculous if
you're saying that. Okay, it's like, yes, America did join World War Two on not the side of
the Nazis, okay, against the Nazis and defeated the Nazis. What they didn't defeat, however,
was fascism. They did not defeat Nazism and fascism. They actually became those guys
became valuable allies. To America's more important goal after that, and a direct confrontation
between Israel and another country, another nation state in the region. And that's why
the U.S. has sent additional troops and is working both diplomats. Don't understand how anyone
tastes you seriously. I don't know, maybe because I'm right 98% of the time. Like it's
a it's a especially weird question to ask right now of all fucking days, when for
for months and months I've been saying Benjamin Nennyahu is going to invade Lebanon to go the
United States into directly getting themselves involved in this conflict. This will pose
obviously a great human toll on the Lebanese population, but beyond that it also poses
an electoral consequence. It is a massive misstep by the Democratic Party to not pack
up Israel as quickly as they possibly can, leaving it out there. Okay. Leaving it out
there for an October surprise, which is not really a surprise. An October expectation
at this point. Yeah. They're using tic.com and she's slinging into a chat. Hassan,
I'll be so annoying. How can people watch this dude? He's so annoying. I beat you. I know
JDAM, a military expert. It's on. Yeah. I mean, despite my, uh, non expertise,
I seem to be quite correct on every single thing that I've said about Israel's actions.
If you were actually an honest person, you would recognize that, but you're not.
That's why you keep talking about G-Names, G-Names.
How many fucking hospitals is Israel blown up, dumb fuck?
The answer is all of them, okay?
All of them.
They've laid siege on every single hospital, but you don't care about that.
You watched one motherfucking drama YouTuber and came in here to be like, yeah, I got him.
It's cool, man.
It's cool.
There's an ongoing genocide happening and your only goal here is to just fucking talk
shit to a goddamn Twitch streamer when you're objectively in the wrong.
Go back to your cookie rocket expert.
Okay.
Yeah.
These are illegal inside of Gaza because Hamas is using it for rockets classic.
Madic channels and trying to deter both Israel and Iran in its proxies from escalating further.
So the president is going to talk at the UN later today or things going to be solved
by tomorrow?
I don't think President Biden will find an off switch at the UN General Assembly.
I think instead there is behind the scenes activity to try to convince the government
of Lebanon as well as Iran and the proctets it supports that escalating further will not
end well.
The off switch search is really, we're fumbling around in the dark looking for that switch
world is.
And the U.S. has been trying to help diplomatically but you know like we reported they have said
no they're not some troops to the region additional troops could that be a slippery
slope how much more can the U.S. get pulled into this conflict?
We are already pulled in we came to Israel's defense when there was a barrage of aerial
assets directed at Israel.
The forces that are in the Middle East, the additional forces are meant to help provide
for Israel's security, to deter further escalation, and also to come to the defense of U.S. citizens
if they need it, both American forces.
Absolute fucking loot-ly, absolutely, America will not come to the defense of U.S. citizens
if they are Lebanese, okay?
Well, Matt, in American civilians, there are a lot of dual citizens living in countries
like Lebanon if the situation escalates further.
Absolute fucking loot-ly not.
will not do a goddamn thing. Okay. The thing that they will do, however, is deploy troops,
if necessary. We know, we know how America deals with defending us. We know how America
deals with the Israel killing us citizens. They killed a US citizen a couple weeks ago.
I don't think the Biden administration has even reached out to the fucking family as
a matter of fact.
Welcome to New York, where the United Nations General Assembly is meeting at a critical
time.
The UN was of course set up precisely to prevent conflicts like the one in Lebanon from spreading.
Despite President Biden's call to restraint in his speech this morning, few here believe
that anyone who matters in the Middle East is actually listening to him.
The last update from the Lebanese government this morning said that 558 people had been
killed since yesterday in Israel strikes on Hezbollah targets, 50 of them children.
And the Iran-backed group has continued to attack military facilities in northern Israel.
The main focus of Israel strikes is the south of the country with dozens of Hezbollah targets.
What's the next country out there, Lebanon?
I mean, they're not going to be able to roll over Lebanon as easily.
That's ridiculous.
But if they were with the help of the United States, the next country would obviously
be Syria, like, that's Syria is next, and then Jordan. But Jordan would probably be
handled with like through more diplomatic means. If it got to that, it's so funny because
like everybody always talks about Russia's ambition of like, re instituting the Russian
Empire, right? Oh, they're going to go, they're going to go into fucking, you know,
they're going to go all the way to Poland, they're going to push into Poland. They
going to rebuild the bridge, use Transnistria to fucking take up all of that land, right?
And obviously Russia's capabilities are nowhere near considering that they are not, you know,
attached to the hip to the greatest superpower on, on the planet, the United States of America.
But having said that, Israel literally is doing that. Israel is doing that all the
fucking time. Israel has done that and will continue doing that.
It's have been hit. The onslaught has driven tens of thousands of people from their homes.
They're heading north towards the capital Beirut where Israel says it killed another senior
Hezbollah commander, Ibrahim.
Why is Israel further expanding its war seems pretty idiotic. Why did apartheid South Africa
expand its war and engage in like cross-border invasions? That seemed pretty idiotic. Why
Why did Hitler open up New France during World War II?
That seemed pretty idiotic.
Well the answer is, they're fucking bloodthirsty, that's it.
And they are running on fucking fumes.
I think, I suspect that a lot of people, a lot of people that are in charge of the
Israeli government and in charge of the Israeli military recognize that this is their
last hurrah.
So whatever incursions they get, whatever land gains they make, will most likely be their
last stand, okay?
That's what I think.
I think that the calculation that they're making is like, we will take whatever we can
in our greater ambition of creating greater Israel, okay?
And, you know, we will do our very best to take up as much space as we possibly can before
until BB goes out.
Now fuck, it's not just Benjamin Netanyahu chatters.
Come on, dude.
Look at fucking Yair Lapid.
Look at the centrist opposition to Benjamin Netanyahu celebrating Benjamin Netanyahu's
actions in Lebanon this past week.
Okay?
I mean, if their intention is to expand Israel, why would they stop if no one stopped them
in Gaza?
I have a feeling the West Bank will be coming up soon, yes.
Mohamed Al-Kubasi, in a strike today, Paul Matamara now reports from Beirut.
And still they come.
For the second day, the roads north growing forwards as tens of thousands flee their homes
in southern Lebanon.
Many are heading for Beirut.
Summer stopping at the soonest safe haven.
It's been an exhausting journey for Patul. She gave birth just five days ago.
She fled yesterday with all four of her daughters, had to turn back once because of an airstrike
just in front of her car, and finally made it to this school in Berger District, 20 miles
south of Beirut.
Yeah, while this is happening, they're also doing a permanent evacuation of northern
Gaza for the record. It's just crazy to think because like none of this would
happen if America wasn't constantly supplying Israel with all of the weapons that they need.
Okay, that's why I have said from the start that America has one mechanism to restrain Israel.
It is a simple phone call. That's it. That's what makes it so fucking, that's what makes it
extra gross. This is an ongoing genocide that could be stopped with a phone call. There's no,
like when we talk about Russia invading Ukraine when we talk about Russia
taking over eastern Ukraine and annexing those territories okay that is a
significantly the morality is clear right on that we know what the good side
is and we know what the bad side is what Russia is doing is unjustifiable and
what Russia is doing is bad but the dealing in that situation is more
complicated because Russia is an adversary outside of the scope of
American influence. Okay? Having said that, with Israel, it's not so complicated because
Israel would not be able to do any of this without America's constant support. That's it.
So, it is literally a phone call. One phone call is all it takes. That's why all this like,
oh, they're working tirelessly around the clock to get a fucking ceasefire shit is completely
bullshit. Complete and utter pure bullshit. America has stopped Israel in the past, and
America could stop Israel yesterday, and it could stop Israel tomorrow if they wanted to.
But they're not. Instead, they have bear hugged Benjamin and Yahut, as Joe Biden did, and
has consistently funneled weapons into Israel so they can continue doing their bidding,
to continue doing their genocide last night.
I was not expecting everything to happen like this.
It escalated so suddenly.
At first we thought living in our village would be okay because the Israelis used to
hit just as Bala.
But the last two or three days they are not striking just as Bala.
Now they are striking everywhere.
yesterday evening this
this will take a long time
but
i suspect that
and i said this yesterday as well
there are two grave threats to israel's
existence right
and it's not fucking iran or hezbollah or hamas or anything like that okay
but the greatest threat to israel's existence is
israelis themselves being like yeah fuck this shit i don't feel
I don't feel safe here at all, I'm leaving.
I'm going back to Brooklyn, I'm leaving.
I'm going to France, I'm leaving.
I'm going to fucking the UK, okay?
When that happens, you're fucked.
Because now what you have left,
what you have left is,
law that's a weird argument to be honest, it's not.
It's not a weird argument at all.
What the fuck are you talking about?
It's literally happening right now.
When that happens when that remains
Okay, when more and more liberal Israelis who are themselves most likely bloodthirsty as well
Okay in terms of like how Israel is dealt with
Gaza or whatever
But they don't like the negative consequences of Israel doing that which is like the iron dome and its security
Perishing okay, the veil of security to the iron dome is created going away when you got motherfucking
hypersonic missiles coming from Ansar Allah into fucking Israeli territory, okay?
You are left with a country that is packed to the fucking gills with the most inbred
uneducated
ultra-nationalist rabid
Haredi population and like I don't know a couple handful of fucking, uh, you know a hand the Haredi population
relation, the, the ultra-nationalists like Itamar, Ben Givir style, uh, losers. Okay.
And like a handful of Russian dudes, okay, with no real connection to Judaism whatsoever
that aren't Jewish, but are just Israeli citizens now. That's all you got. That's all you have
that remains at that point. Okay. That and a nuclear arsenal. Yeah. And the exiled
pedophiles exactly it is devastating like all that shit like all that start-up
nation shit okay all that like oh we made the desert bloom shit it all goes
away okay it's done school became a refugee camp 300 people now call it home
300 of the poorest from south Lebanon so they have nothing nothing no no
No clothes, no food, nothing.
And have you got enough to provide for them?
We don't have too much things to do.
So what do you need?
We need mattresses, blankets, food, diapers, milk for the labors, medicaments.
Who will they come from?
Is it the government that will give you those things?
Nobody will give us.
Now, nobody.
Their best hope, we were told, donations from those living locally.
have been arriving in this town?
Asa Hezbollah being a proxy, do you think an Iranian intervention is possible if Israel
keeps making inroads in Lebanon?
No.
There's two different perspectives from people who are much smarter than me analyzing the
situation.
The number one perspective is, you know, one perspective is that Iran does not want
the smoke, okay, or the classic, the classic attitude from the regional actors would
be that Iran hates the Sunnis more than it hates Israel. Okay, that's a classic fucking
like Salafist perspective as well. I don't agree with it. I'm just gonna say it. I'm just simply
telling you that that is how some people analyze the situation that Iran does not want
genuine engagement and that they're absolutely fucking terrified of genuine engagement.
I'm not like a subreddit Andy who will sit behind my keyboard and go, oh, dude,
fucking go and fight them. Like, what's wrong with you? Right? I'm not,
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna be that fucking idiot. Okay. The other perspective is that Israel
is goading all of the regional actors into retaliation, a retaliation that is so large
and so expensive in terms of like human casualties within Israel that America comes in and is forced
into defending Israel. Okay. And that the restraint demonstrated from Hezbollah and demonstrated
from Iran in terms of its pit for retaliation so far has been to make a calculated retaliation that
that basically says like, look, we're going to push back when you push us, but, you know,
we're not going to do something so crazy that, that there is like a righteous vengeance
cause that where Israel can turn around and pull American troops into direct conflict.
Okay. I assume that that I lean a little bit more on that side of the analysis.
What are the options for Iran actually do something that achieves something that doesn't
turn into expanded conflict, more funding and equipping the top of the hour? Oh my
God, you fucked me to various militias around Israel. Yes. You got me. Okay. At the top
of the hour, there's a three man outbreak. As always, if you no longer want to see
those ads. Well, then all you need to do is subscribe for $4 and 20 cents in the month
of September or for free with us, which from here's the three minute outbreak. Now,
is your stance that the US should have colonies in the situation of Puerto Rico is okay for you?
Can you cover Puerto Rico, man? Is it hard to ask? One day Hassan will cover Puerto Rico one day.
I have covered Puerto Rico a bunch. Like, is it hard to have empathy for Puerto Ricans? When will
we talk about Puerto Rico, man? Can you cover Puerto Rico, man? Is it hard to ask? Is your stance
that the U.S. should have colonies and the situation in Puerto Rico is okay to you? The
current situation is horrifying. Yeah, I mean, obviously I'm a big fan of colonization,
specifically of Puerto Rico. I have a unique position on this where I think Hawaii
should be given back to the indigenous population, but Puerto Rico should remain a US colony, as I
famously say all the time, as I've always said, bro, I'm actually autistic. This is not okay. I was
so confused for a moment. Chat is he memeing? Come on, guys. Do you think of rightfully
Lebanon attack back that American media would say is genocide? Love your videos. Any kind of
retaliation from Hezbollah will be seen as an unjustifiable attack and that ultimately
it will be the green light for Israel to deploy nukes if they even want to from the way that
the Western media covers it. 100%.
Starmer demands the return of sausages from Gaza. What?
Call it dead.
Oh, yeah. Fucking thank you.
Armors. Oh, God damn.
Throughout the last year, this is yesterday, the exorcists have been so huge
that they're now at a point they simply don't know whether or not they're going to be able to cope.
Actually, you know what?
This chatter actually brought up a really good point.
I changed my position
and I apologize for the anti-semitic thing that I just said.
Everyone knows Puerto Rico should be given to Israel. Yes.
I think my new stance is that Puerto Rico should be not only an American colony,
but should be given to its rightful owner, the State of Israel.
I forgot that that was what the real thing that should have happened.
This morning, though, yet more hell from above.
More than one-and-a-half thousand targets have been attacked since the beginning of the week,
according to the Israel Defense Force.
Hundreds have died.
It's a death toll that's rising.
We don't know how many Hezbollah members are among the dead.
The numbers do include at least 50 children and 94 women, according to the Lebanese Ministry
of Health.
Anyone who has a missile hidden in their living room and a rocket in their garage
will not have a home.
In his sights, Hezbollah commanders.
In this apartment block in a densely populated area of South Beirut, Israel claimed to kill
another senior Hezbollah member today.
Missiles have been traded in both directions though.
These Israeli interceptors shooting down Hezbollah rockets from the sky above.
Damage has now been inflicted as far south into Israel as suburbs of the port city
Haifa.
in Lebanon's many newfound camps, everything about everyone's future here is uncertain.
Do you know if your house is still standing?
My house was still there when we left, he tells me, but they carried on bombing my
village until six in the evening.
I have no idea if it's still there.
We need peace.
What is this?
Susay virus, good morning.
I'm still alive.
BIT OT is getting worse and worse over here.
Schools are closed early, and we can hear
fighter jets in the sky.
Also, they hit a hospital in the south.
Yeah, I think we're next.
Holy shit, self-proclaimed number one, Hoshimachi
Susay fan.
Well, to the Susay virus account that also follows me,
I ask, why did the hospital choose
to have cruise missiles underneath its basement.
Why did the hospital choose to house Hamas?
I mean, Hezbollah, oops, sorry.
I'm using the exact same fucking bullshit justification.
And I accidentally leaked
that I'm just copy pasting the same talking point.
Yeah, it was a hospital for missiles.
That's a big Vtuber stand account. Yeah.
People might not get the joke. Yeah, I'm obviously fucking it's so fucking frustrating
We need humanity
We need real persons who believe in God because God is for everybody
Do you have much faith that that peace and humanity is coming anytime soon?
I don't
Right now, it's a view shared by many across you know how is realized iron dome
Why do resistance groups even bother bombing?
Is it just a symbolized that they will and can't retaliate?
Yes.
That is, it is to create, it is to, well, one, that's expensive.
Okay.
It is about causing as much damage as you possibly can and depleting them of their arsenal.
It's not like the iron dome is infinite.
There is no infinite supply.
Okay.
Okay. And the Iron Dome also is not perfect in terms of its interceptions.
And the goal is to basically depleted of its, depleted of its Tamir interceptor missiles.
And also get a couple potshots in. This costs a lot of fucking money.
Yesterday's bombing rates cost $178 million, according to Israel. Nice, dude. Sick.
500 people they killed for a hundred and seventy eight million dollars seems like a wonderful
use of a finite resources. Oh dude here this is also the other side of the question. The
movement for settlement in southern Lebanon published this map featuring the new Hebrew
name for the settlements of southern Lebanon based on the current names of the Lebanese
towns and villages. Now remember liberals honest will tell you like oh these guys
are just fucking freaks. They're actually an edge case. They're not an edge case. You
have welcomed them into your country. You'll welcome them into your government. Okay. Whether
you have an issue with it or not due to optics or due to the genuine disgust that you have
in your heart for them, it does not change the reality that the Israeli government is
literally moving in this direction. Okay. It's just the truth. And many of you liberal
Zionists well none of you are in here right now but many liberal Zionists that also talk
about how much they fucking hate the settlers are inevitably going to move to Sherman Oaks
they're inevitably going to move to Brooklyn they're inevitably going to move to different
parts of the world because the Israeli government has been completely fucking captured by these
psychopaths. Okay. Straight up. That's it. You are going to find that the country that
you theoretically enjoy that you believe is this like bastion of all things good is not
so good. Okay. And it's filled to the goddamn brim with bloodthirsty inbred ultra nationalist
rabid psychopaths
deadly is they in lebanon in decades
awful
yet they fucked around and they found out do it welcome to the result of a tag in
israel for twelve months
great stuff man
where's the inbred stuff coming from
uh... the the fucking
the the uh... ultra orthodox
right wing ultra orthodox population that comprises a lot of the fucking
settlers are deeply inbred. It's the same shit, dude. It's our hogs. There it's not any different.
The dead heads. Yeah. The fucking Rastafarians.
The white guys with dreads. In case you had any doubts about where they get their orders,
see it in military analysts now referring to the occupied, oh, the spider rapist, dude.
Former commanding general of the US, uh, before US army, Europe and seventh army,
Lieutenant General Mark Hurtling, retired, referring to the Occupy West Bank by the fabricated
Zionist named Judea and Samaria. That's sick, man. Yeah. Talk to me about, yeah, Judea and
Samaria, baby. Hell yeah. Like, how? How are you this guy? How are you? How are you talking
like a fucking rabid, ultra-Zionist settler.
Like, what do you mean, Judea and Samaria dog?
What the fuck are you saying?
Like, who taught you that?
Who? Who taught you that?
You didn't fucking come up with that on your own.
Somebody told you that.
Like, what the fuck?
That's crazy. That's crazy.
For those of you who don't know,
for those of you who do not fucking know, okay?
You can tell a lot by someone's perspective on Israel, by the way that they refer to the West Bank, which is occupied Palestinian land. Okay.
It is an occupied Palestinian territory. It belongs to the Palestinians under international law. Okay. It is currently illegally occupied by Israel. This is not just my opinion. This is the opinion that was reiterated by the ICJ recently a couple months prior to this. Okay.
When someone refers to the West Bank as anything but illegally occupied Palestinian territory,
okay, it's instead if they use Judea and Samaria, they are a rabid ultra nationalist, a rabid
ultra Zionist.
They are a fucking fascist, okay, and it's additionally weird when you got like some
random fucking alabaman Christian retired general referring to it like he's a goddamn settler
living in the fucking West Bank like what are you talking about dude you're not Israeli
the fuck do you mean why do you know the terms like what are you a fucking cahanist like
what the fuck's going on here so every evangelical brazilian is the ultra Zionist yes yes
Yes.
To strike those targets where Pespa, like terrorists and others are communicating.
Oh my God.
Incredible stuff.
There are a couple of significant things happening here.
First of all, we are seeing the displacement of people using a weapon of war.
Israel inflates further economic damage on a nation that's already financially crippled.
There is no present at the moment.
There hasn't been since 2022.
can agree on someone, functions of state are not functioning. Israel is exploiting how ill-equipped
this nation is to deal with a crisis. Second of all, with that strike that we saw earlier
on today in South Bay Root, we saw Israel claim that they have killed another senior
Hezbollah commander, a man called Ibrahim Qubaisi. This was the man who was in charge
of Hezbollah's rockets and missiles. Israel seems to have a list of senior commanders that
they are working their way down. It's the same way they operated with Hamas commanders
in Gaza last Friday. They killed another senior commander, the man who was in charge
of cross-border operations into Israel. This isn't just deteriorating Hezbollah militarily,
but symbolically and psychologically. There is still a war. There is still a fear
that this war could escalate, this conflict could escalate. This evening there are reports
that the UK Ministry of Defence is accelerating plans to evacuate Brits who are here, but
for the five and a half million Lebanese people for whom this is their home, it's their reality
from which there is no escape. Paul and Beirut, thank you very much indeed. Well,
earlier I spoke to Rania Abuzade, a Lebanese-Australian journalist and writer who is based
in Beirut, and I began by asking her to describe the mood today after the intense
bombardment of the last two days, and whether there's a fear that Lebanon is becoming like Gaza.
That's the fear here, especially when you listen to the Israelis yesterday, the IDF spokesperson
was talking about Hezbollah hiding rockets in homes, and that, you know, to many Lebanese that
sounded like they were preemptively excusing the targeting of civilian homes. And we have seen
entire families who were killed in their homes in the south. So that is absolutely the fear.
Right now, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris military surveillance intelligence aircraft is circling
off the coast of Lebanon. The Democrats controlled US military full partners and designers massacre
in Lebanon just as they are in Gaza. Yeah, in the least shocking turn of events. The
military is of course facilitating the ongoing massacre in Lebanon. That's why it's so
funny when dumb fucks are like, why do you care so much? Like, you're American. Look away. It's like,
no, I can't. I can't look away. We are responsible. We are an active participant in this bloodshed.
And as a matter of fact, this bloodshed would not even exist without our participation. It
like literally would not happen. It cannot happen. Okay. The notion that like, we supply
supply alongside Germany and Italy, we supply 100% of Israel's munitions. Okay. 70% of it
comes directly from us, the United States of America. And that if we were to like dial
back on that, when Israeli generals and Israeli officials have said we would not be able to
do anything without the United States of America's full throated support is so funny.
It's just so stupid when people are like, Oh, you don't understand. They would just
go somewhere else. Where are they gonna go, bro? Russia? What are they gonna do? Get artillery
from fucking North Korea? Are you stupid? Russia can't even fucking, Russia can't even occupy
Ukraine. The fuck are they gonna do? It's so stupid. They ain't got shit without us. Okay.
And yes, we're gonna talk about the Israel deliberately blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza
Gaza and how the American government hid that reality here, that what has happened in Gaza
will also happen here in Lebanon.
Under the circumstances, and given the amount of firepower that Hezbollah has at its disposal,
are you surprised that they haven't done more in terms of retaliating against Israel?
Well they have, they debuted another missile today, the FAD-E3, this was after they
they debuted the long-range 31 and 32 over the weekend.
So they're slowly bringing out some of their heavier guns.
But you know, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, has said that he has
that he still has weapons that he hasn't debuted yet.
So we'll have to wait and see.
He has said that the battlefield will do the talking.
But once again, it feels as if Lebanon, which is an incredibly complex, you know,
and quite divided society is once again the brutal playground of other people's interests.
Yes, I mean to a certain degree absolutely. That's the neighborhood that we live in over
here and it brings to mind in an old Arabic saying that you know my brother and I will
stand against my cousin and my cousin and I will stand against the stranger.
President Biden was here the United Nations this morning giving quite an emotional speech
and yet again calling for peace and restraint in the Middle East.
But to many people, it seems as if the American President, with all his firepower parked in
the region, has gone kind of missing in action on this one.
Well, I'll tell you that many Lebanese here don't think that he's missing in action.
They think that he's actively aiding the Israelis.
I mean, that's what they see.
They hear the talk about, you know, urging calm in Lebanon and not to escalate and
not to, you know, for both sides, not to explode things into some sort of all-out war.
They hear the calls for the ceasefires in Gaza, and then they see the Americans continuing
to arm the Israelis and to provide political and diplomatic cover.
So it's not so much of them missing in action, it's that they're batting for one side.
And it's your impression, Rania, that despite the victory here at the United Nations, the
Israelis are so determined to continue this and so has Bilal, you know, for that matter.
Your country is inexorably sliding towards something horrific that it simply can't stop.
That's the fear.
You know, it's easy to start a war, but how do you contain it?
Hezbollah for its part has said that it opened a support front to ease the pressure
of both.
One fact, 18 billion has been given to Israel so far.
Average USA resident pays 37K a year.
Iron Dome interceptor missiles cost 30, 40K.
So every flash you see in the sky
equals to a person's yearly tax.
X-2 missiles are usually far to intercept
the single projectile.
Yeah.
Another reason why Americans should care.
You said that already last year and nothing has changed.
Well, you've sent billions to Israel.
Yeah.
Guys, I know the American public school teachers
do need a raise,
But also, have you considered that that's deeply anti-Semitic to say, because like, all of that money could be going to Israel, which is the most moral nation on the planet, and the most democratic nation on the planet?
Sorry.
Sorry.
I see no other way out of this.
We're going to have to give another trillion dollars to Israel.
Okay.
Also, if you speak out against that, you are Hamas.
They need to be dealt with swiftly and expeditiously.
Hamas and civilians in Gaza, and they have said that they will close the front if the war in Gaza ends.
Netanyahu said over the weekend that he's added another goal, another war goal, and that is to return the displaced from northern Israel.
But it's unclear here how widening the war will help those people return.
Hezbollah have said that if that you know widening the war will actually cause more displaced and what we're seeing is that Hezbollah has
Extended its attacks deeper into Israel. They have reached Haifa that will presumably displace even more Israeli
So it's a very you know, it's unclear
Who's gonna put the brakes on and how?
Only there was a way to stop all of this. You know what I mean?
John Kirby wait oh John Kirby Israel's biggest dick writer is back in the news
across from George Stephanopoulos and he's gonna give a stern talking to okay
he's gonna give a stern talking to Israel let's see what I'm saying then
Ashford County Council John thank you for joining us actually we just heard
Martha talk about the airports we know in the past Israel has bombed the
airports in Lebanon back in 2005 do you expect it to happen again have you
been given a heads up we're in constant touch with our Israeli
counterparts, George, as you might imagine, we want to make sure that there are still
commercial options available for Americans to leave, and they should be leaving now while
those options are available, but I won't get ahead of operations.
You won't get ahead of operations.
The United States has been trying very hard to prevent an escalation.
Absolutely.
The President has been in constant contact with Israel, but they don't seem to be
heeding his advice.
We, again, I think we don't believe it's in Israel's interest for this to escalate,
for there to be an all-out war there on the north,
on that blue line between Israel and Lebanon.
If the goal, George, is to get families back to their homes,
we think there's a better way to do that
than an all-out conflict.
The Israelis will tell you yesterday
that they had to take some of these strikes
because they were about to be imminently attacked
by Hezbollah.
They do have a right to defend themselves.
But what we're gonna keep doing
is talking to them about trying to find
a diplomatic solution here,
a way to de-escalate the tensions
so that the families can go back
in a sustainable way.
We just heard from Ian that the ball is now in Hezbollah's
court.
Israel bracing for a response.
It's wondering if we have any sense of what's going to come next.
I won't get into the intelligence assessment.
Certainly, we have seen the rhetoric coming out
of Nezra and his leadership about how they want to respond
to this.
That's obviously going to be something
we'll monitor very, very closely.
I will just tell you that while we won't get involved
in the conflict itself there around that blue line,
because we don't want to see a conflict at all,
We'll do what we have to continue to do to make sure Israel can defend itself.
Let's turn to the war in Ukraine.
Robin spoke with President Zelensky and the First Lady of Ukraine, yes, we're going to
have more of that interview coming up later today.
He seems to believe that peace is closer than we think if the United States and the
Western allies continue to provide Ukraine with the assistance it needs.
He will continue to get that assistance.
You know, you're going to meet with the President Thursday, back in Washington after
the UN General Assembly concludes.
But I fully expect that you'll hear the President talk about continued and additional support
to Ukraine as we head into the fall and winter months, particularly as Mr. Putin tries to
weaponize the winter weather, going after their energy grid and infrastructure.
So President Zelensky can rest assured that he'll continue to have the United States
support and the other 50-some odd nations that are provided.
Are we seeing the outlines of a possible piece?
Well, look, President Zelensky said he's going to come with a victory plan.
We haven't seen that plan.
We look forward to talking to him about what this looks like, what the components are.
And we'll see where it goes from there.
What we've said all along, George, is whenever and however this war ends, it's got to end
in a way that is in keeping with President Zelensky's view of what a just peace needs
to look like.
And it has to factor in the Ukrainian people's desires and aspirations.
So whatever that is, again, we'll look forward to talking to him about that,
but we'll be supportive as we move forward.
Finally, the President is speaking to the United Nations today.
What's his message?
The message is that, number one, we've accomplished a lot on the world stage in the United States
over the last three and a half years.
We revitalized our alliances and partnerships, really advanced our national security interests
around the world, working on transnational problems like climate change and clean energy
transition, fentanyl prevention.
There's been an awful lot of work that the United States has done, and he's going
to make the case for why it's important for America to continue to lead, and
why we have to all work together, the whole United Nations, to try to really make
Part of the pretence of Lindsey is the one deciding anything.
It's good to make it seem like it is, I don't know.
Like it's just manufacturing consent.
Aloha, we're all talking about evacuating Americans in the exact same way we'd be talking
if there was something like a hurricane.
Israel is literally just a natural disaster in their eyes.
And it's wild to see firsthand.
That's every fucking aspect of American violence that directly ties back to capital interests.
Okay, gun manufacturers are a powerful force in this country.
So therefore, gun violence, which is a direct byproduct of having mass guns in circulation
with no restrictions whatsoever on who gets them, is treated like it's a natural disaster.
It is the exact same thing happening domestically as it is happening internationally.
And by the way, the interests are identical.
In this instance, it's not small arms manufacturing, but also, you know, ordinance.
That's it. Biden also made a final UN address. Mr. Janisai dare himself. Being president has
been the honor of my life in his final UN address. He talks about defending Ukraine and how we
did NATO and all this fun stuff. And you know, it's a laughable prospect from Biden considering
that he is doing the exact opposite of defending Ukraine in defending Israel.
So let's see what we have to say.
We also need to uphold our principles as we seek to responsibly manage the competition
with China so it does not veer into conflict.
We stand ready to cooperate on urgent challenges with the good of our people and the people
everywhere.
We recently resumed cooperation with China to stop the flow of deadly synthetic narcotics.
I appreciate the collaboration.
It matters for the people of my country, and many others around the world.
It matters of conviction that the United States is unabashed in pushing back against
unfair economic competition against military coercion of other nations in the South China
Sea.
and maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan straits,
and protecting our most advanced technologies
so they cannot be used against us or any of our partners.
At the same time, we're going to continue to strengthen
our network of alliances and partnerships across the Indo-Pacific.
These partnerships are not against any nation.
They're building blocks for a free, open, secure, and peaceful Indo-Pacific.
We're also working to bring greater measure of peace and stability in the Middle East.
The world must not flinch from the horrors of October 7th.
Any country, any country, that have the right and responsibility to ensure that such an
attack can never happen again.
Thousands of armed and mass terrorists invaded a sovereign state, slaughtering and
massacring more than 1,200 people, including 46 Americans in their homes.
We did NATO!
I'm in a habit of a Buddha
We did NATO Israel has arrived to defend NATO
Hamas Jack look alive
40 babies Israel. I mean
I'm in it Hamas
and at a music festival
Especially with despicable acts of sexual violence
Yeah, I saw the babies let on fire with kerosene Jack. I saw the beheaded babies
decapitated babies NATO mass rapes. I've never the families of those
hostages. I agree with them. They're going through hell. Innocence civilians
in Gaza are also going through hell. Thousand and thousand kills including
aid worker. Yeah, who's who's putting them through hell big dog? What's that about dude?
Who's doing that? Do you want Trump to win? Why are you making fun of Biden? He's just
a little battle fella. God, some of the best. Some of the best lines came from his end
of his career, dude, battle fellas, the battle box, August Jack, I did five eyes, five eyes
as a right to defend itself. And I for sure will not stand idly by I'll watch him kill
every baby in Palestine. I'd never say Palestine, never mind. Too many families just located
crowd even we beat medicare tense facing tomorrow i'm gonna do 9 11 die a humanitarian situation
they did an asterisk war that him i started i put forward with cutter and egypt to cease fire
and hostage deal spent a doors by the u.s security council now is the time for the parties to
it's so funny because like everyone in that room with the exception of biden including the israeli
on voice, by the way, know exactly who's fucking up the bag. Okay. No, exactly who's responsible
for all the death and destruction. No, exactly who's responsible for fucking up the ceasefire
deal. Every single person knows except for Biden. He is, his brain is broken. So obviously
he doesn't fucking know anything. Um, but you know, we just got to play this song
and dance as though, you know, this is a force of, this is a natural disaster. This is a natural
disaster that is completely fucking unavoidable. There's nothing we can do about it.
Finalizes terms. Bring the hostages home in secure security for Israel and Gaza free
of hot a mask grip. He's the suffering in Gaza and end this war. October 7th since
October 7th we've also been determined to prevent a wider war than in ghost the entire region have you
have you been determined to prevent it have you because i don't think you have dude
you haven't done a good job at all about that if you have been i mean you're either the biggest
fucking dumbass on the planet or you're just lying and i think it's a bit of both okay i think it's
a bit of both
He's both a dumbass because his brain is leaking out of his fucking ear and he also
Simultaneously is lying
Serious, he said honey, but a bit of a bobbata, honey, but a bobbata
Because honestly if you were trying to stop
Israel from escalating broader conflict
Okay
You probably shouldn't be giving them weapons giving them political cover at the UN
uh... at the u n security council and at the u n uh... general assembly
you probably shouldn't be uh... i don't know
sending your fucking troops
and giving uh... uh... you know using american resources further beyond like
the
eighteen billion dollars of the weapons you've given to israel
but also
past eighteen billion dollars using american surveillance to uh... give israel
new targets the bomb
has gone
unprovoked
Join the October 7th attack launching.
Wait, what do we unprovoke?
No, that she was not unprovoked.
It was definitely provoked, okay?
Rockets in Israel.
Almost a year later, too many on each side
of the Israeli-Lebanon border remain displaced.
Full-scale war is not in anyone's interest.
Even as situation has escalated,
a diplomatic solution is still possible.
In fact, it remains the only path
to last in security to allow the residents from both countries to return to their homes
on the border safely. And that's what working. That's what we're working tirelessly to achieve.
As we look ahead, let's also address the road. How would you feel about the U.S. only giving
humanitarian aid to both Gaza and Israel? What does that even mean? I want the United States
to give Gaza its own iron dome. Okay. If we're making money, if if our only goal in the
situation is to make money give them a fucking iron dome dog what are we talking
about equalize the fucking playing field give them weapons give them an iron dome
let them have sovereignty and defend themselves fuck it you know this is
ironically something that I have advocated for for quite a while by the
way this is not even a new thing that I'm saying now I've been saying it for
fucking years. Give him an iron dome. Who cares? Lebanon? Nope. Lebanon gets iron dome too. Give
them billions of dollars to build bunkers, you know, shelters from Israeli missiles. Give them
billions of dollars and fund their iron dome. Iron dome for everybody. Give Ukraine iron dome.
Yeah. Everybody guess one. Rise of violence against innocent Palestinians on the West Bank
and set the conditions for a better future, including a two-state solution
where the world, where Israel enjoys security and peace and full recognition
and normalize relations with all its neighbors. The Palestinians live in
security, dignity and self-determination in a state of their own.
Progress toward peace will put us in a stronger position to deal with the
ongoing threat posed by Iran. Together we must deny oxygen to
territories, terrorist proxies, which have called for more
October 7 and ensure that Iran will never, ever obtain a
nuclear weapon. Gaza is not the only conflict that deserves
our outrage. In Sudan, a bloody civil war. Wait, Gaza is a
constant conflict that deserves our outrage. So like, are you
saying that Israel deserves outrage? What's going on? I mean,
I have a lot of mind on what Israel deserves. We will get
into that, of course, but I don't understand it. Like, who are we outraged by? Who are
we supposed to be outraged by, man? Who's doing the bombing, dude? Should we be more
outraged at the Palestinian babies that are dying under Israeli bombs? Is that what it
is? Well, American bombs that Israel is lobbing their way?
At least one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Eight million, eight million
on the brink of famine. Hundreds of thousands are already there.
Trosses are for it elsewhere. The United States has led the world in providing humanitarian
aid to Sudan. And with our partners, we've led diplomatic talks to try to silence the
guns and avert a wider famine. The world needs to stop arming the generals, to speak
Because one voice can tell them, stop tearing your country apart.
Stop blocking aid to the Sudanese people.
End this war now.
He's not even getting like decent applause.
Let me close with this.
Even as we navigate so much change,
one thing must not change.
We must never forget who we're here to represent.
We, the people.
These are the first words of our Constitution,
very idea of America. They inspired the opening words of UN Charter. I made the preservation
of democracy, the central cause of my presidency.
By the way, even with Sudan, okay, I haven't really covered it that much. Okay, but with
respect to Sudan, here is Congresswoman Sarah Jacobs, who is correct on the issue.
Okay, Biden also could make a fucking phone call and stop that shit then in his tracks as well
Congresswoman Sarah Jacobs from California 51 says in today's meeting with the UAE president shake Muhammad bin Zayed al Nahyan
I urge president Biden to use our considerable leverage to get the UAE to stop funding the rsf and prolonging the war in Sudan
The continued death destruction and suffering in Sudan is preventable
Okay, when you are the global hegemonic superpower
You have access to either side, okay, of any conflict in this
circumstance, you could absolutely be like you a what the
fuck are you doing? Stop. That's it. It's a vassal state.
This summer, even then he could just fucking, you know, do
something about it. I faced a decision, whether to seek a
second term as president. It was a difficult decision. Being
president has been the honor of my life. There's so much more I want to get done. As much as
I love the job, I love my country more. Why is he acting like he can't do anything about
it? He's the literal president. This is also one, ironically, this is also one of the
things that he could unilaterally decide on. Okay, even by making phone calls. Okay,
this is not like, this is not something that even requires fucking congressional approval.
Okay, this aspect of foreign policy is directly in the hands of Joe Biden. He could do this. He could do this on his own
Same with Israel. Okay
He could do a lot of things as the president, but like this is one of those instances where he could
Personally just do whatever the fuck he wants
RSF is the raven support forces a genocidal militia funded by the Arab Emirates doing a genocide in Sudan. Yes
So when he goes, ah, someone's got to do something about Israel.
Someone's got to do something about Sudan.
It's like, no dude, that's someone is you, okay?
People elected you to do something about it, you know?
What the fuck do you mean?
I decided after 50 years of public service,
it's time for new generation of leadership to take my nation forward.
My fellow leaders, let us never forget.
Which previous president stop Israel one phone call Ronald Reagan Joe Biden himself stopped Israel in 2021 with one phone call
You know
Yeah, somebody someone called the president
We got to do something
George HW Bush
Boston Israel escalating and Lebanon sharply to make it more confusing the call for an arms embargo to average people wait
What what do you mean?
If anything, that should give more cause to an arms embargo argument.
Some things are more important than staying in power.
It's your people. It's your people. The matter the most.
Never forget, we are here to serve the people, not the other way around.
Because the future will be won by those who will unleash the full potential of their people.
Breathe free, to think freely, to innovate, to educate, to live and love openly without fear.
That's the sole democracy. It does not belong to any one country.
I've seen it all around the world, and the brave men and women who ended apartheid brought down the Berlin Wall.
Huh. That's insane.
Dog, both of the things that you just mentioned, Israel is currently doing, an apartheid and
a literal fucking wall to maintain said apartheid.
Fight today for freedom and justice and dignity.
We saw that universal yearning for rights in freedom in Venezuela for millions cast
their vote for change that hadn't been recognized, but it can't be denied.
The world knows the truth.
We saw in Uganda, LBGT activists demanding safety and recognition of their common humanity.
We've seen citizens across the world peacefully choosing their future from Ghana to India to
South Korea.
Nations representing one quarter of humanity who will hold elections this year alone.
Evangelical Hogwarts comes later.
The power of we the people that makes me more optimistic about the future than I've
ever been.
Since I was first elected to United East West Germany was not an apartheid. No, no, he was talking about apartheid South Africa bringing down apartheid South Africa.
And then he said bringing down the wall. I think one of the funniest flubs from the American State Department was when they immediately recognized the new Venezuelan government, which stopped every other Latin American, every other.
I told you this was going to happen. Okay. Remember when the Venezuelan elections took place
and you know, there was definitely some inconsistencies and obviously, uh, Maduro's
popularity has, has, uh, dipped tremendously from day one. And he was mostly riding on the,
Shavista's and and Chavez is a popularity for his entire fucking rain. And the moment,
the moment that the moment that America fucking stepped in and was like, we recognize, we
recognize the new Venezuelan leadership, every other fucking country in the region,
every other left leaning country in the region that previously were like, hold up,
Let's take a look at the fucking results of this election. Okay. Immediately went, all
right, never mind. Fuck it. Yep. Nope. Maduro is the guy. Sorry. And that was because that
was because America was like, Nope, Nope. This is not correct. This is incorrect. Actually,
we know Maduro is not the president, but we know that he wasn't democratically elected.
We recognize the new government. And as soon as that happened, as soon as that happened,
like, even before like, uh, office of America's, as soon as that happened, all of that conversation
stopped dead in his fucking tracks. Don't you think Israel likes Lebanon is a bit disrespectful?
I think what's disrespectful is coming to a fucking streamer, uh, coming to one of
the only fucking internet communities that actively talks about Israel's genocide and
hyper focusing on the optics of the way that I title, because, you know, uh, thinking
that that is a larger issue than the actual issues that I'm speaking on, thinking that
this is a valid criticism. That's what's disrespectful in my opinion, you know. What do you want me
to do? There's a limited amount of fucking words and letters that I can use in a Twitch
title. Do you think that that is disrespectful? Taking away space, time from the actual
conversation that we're having so we can focus on your aesthetics-based, optics-based
argument. What's more disrespectful do you think?
State Senate 1972. Every age faces challenges. I saw it as a young man. I
see it today. But we are stronger than we think. We're stronger together than
alone. What the people call impossible is just an illusion. Nelson Mandela
taught us and I quote, it always seems impossible until it's done. It always seems impossible
until it's done. My fellow leaders, there's nothing that's beyond their capacity. If we
work together, let's work together. God bless you all to make God protect all those who seek
peace. Yeah, he was gonna say, may God protect our troops is while that he's quoting Mandela.
Yeah. I wonder if he'll quote Mandela, uh, when, uh, Mandela was talking about
Israel being an apartheid, probably not. Yeah. Uh,
as Tharman mistakenly refers to Israeli hostages as sausages. Uh,
everybody made fun of this on Twitter. I don't really care.
I think the worst version,
the worst thing he said was when someone asked during the speech,
What about the Palestinians?
And he turned around and he turned around and said,
you must think that this is the 2019 Labour Party.
Like you're in the wrong room.
In fact, we must.
Technology, climate change, the aging population, the movement of people.
This is a time when great forces demand a decisive government
prepared to face the future.
We can see that again in the Middle East today.
So I call again for restraint and de-escalation at the border between Lebanon and Israel.
Again again, all parties to pull back from the brink.
I call again for immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the return of the sausages for hostages and
the two state solution.
Yeah, everybody was like talking about this, but I think the worst fucking part about this
speech was literally when he, does anyone have that clip?
When he turned around, does anyone have the clip when he joked about like a, a protest
are asking about Palestinian. Yeah, here, this is the one. This is what really fucking
pisses me off.
My sister, my sister was a kid. I think this guy's obviously got a pass from the 2019 conference.
Something deeply, something deeply messed up about British society that this guy fucks
a lot apparently. Okay. Like if you at any point, look at this fucking vile scumbag who
looks like a sausage himself. Okay. And go, well, that's a, that's a real shaggy. Yeah.
He's got it. I mean, I guess like with Boris too, it's crazy. What does he mean by that?
I mean, he's making a joke about 2019 labor under the guidance of Corbin actually having
to correct position on Gaza and Israel and Palestine, a position that caused him to lose
control over the party, where people backed by this fucking dipshit, or supported by this
fucking dipshit, literally purposely sabotage the Labor Party internally and created the
the insane non-stop anti-Semitism smears against Corbyn and any kind of fucking labor MP, any
kind of fucking labor MP that dared say Palestinians are human beings.
Here's an interview with the guy who was the protestor from the Prime Minister's speech.
What did you say to the Prime Minister?
I just, I didn't plan on saying anything, it's just when I heard him speak about how he wants his
ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, just the hypocrisy on how every day we're still sending British bombs
and British bullets that are being used in Lebanon and in Gaza right now, and the Prime Minister,
he could stop that, he could stop that right now but he doesn't, and he just, he says that he
wants things to stop but he won't lift his finger to actually stop them. So you weren't planning
on saying anything, you were just moved to say while you were speaking? No, I was a delegate,
I'm a Labour Party member. I'd hoped I'd be one for life but I suspect not now, but
just what's happened and just the complete failure of the Labour Party in Kirstenalmer
to address it, it's just completely different.
What more specifically do you want from them?
I have complete suspension of arms sales through Israel, embargoes, sanctions, whatever
it takes to stop this genocide that is currently appearing, not just the empty
I think there were definitely anti-Semitism issues in the party, but it was extremely overblown.
And there was definitely a false flag, a false tying of anti-Zionism to anti-Semitism.
The anti-Semitism issues in the Labour Party is a hilarious thing to talk about.
When you look at like anti-Semitism within the Tories, it was always and forever about
Israel.
Okay.
During this anti-Semitism news coverage that the British media focused on, hyper-focused on,
the motherfucking Tory party in charge literally put up a statue of Nancy Astor,
okay, who straight up said Hitler, and I quote, Hitler was right about the Jews,
okay, there was no coverage on that at all, like no coverage whatsoever on that. That is crazy,
okay it's it's always and forever the same exact principle van jones will cry about jewish anti
zionist protesters claim that they're fucking uh claim that they're being funded by iran
and that they are anti-semitic for saying that what israel is doing is unconscionable
Ben Jones will then go to DC to speak at a fucking pro-Israel rally next to Pastor John Hagee.
Pastor John Hagee famously said, Hitler did a great thing with the Holocaust so that Israel could
be created. Okay? If you think a diverse group of college students, which include anti-Zionist
Jews, okay, saying what Israel is doing is an apartheid and it's unconscionable. What
Israel is doing is a genocide. That's anti-semitic. Well, you don't have that same, a fraction
of that smoke for a guy that is a direct fucking Christian fascist. You are delusional. They're
trying to cancel you on Twitter, aunt. I can't believe I'm getting canceled on the
Nazi platform. I can't believe that people are yelling about me on the Nazi platform again.
That definitely didn't happen yesterday. That definitely didn't happen the day prior. That
definitely didn't happen today. And it certainly won't happen again tomorrow. It happens every
day chatter fuck you mean man I can't believe that I have upset some more
Nazi pedophiles what will I do yeah I'd be more I'd be more concerned if you were
saying they're defending you I'm not I'm sure I have you a case that I
cameras, they believe that?
Absolutely not, no.
Although it's not just him, it's the party more general.
He was libs today over what?
What did I do now that got liberals upset?
It's for the establishment, for not being supportive,
taking action that he's required to stop genocide
and actually stop the war like this pain they want to do.
Tell us what was going through your head as you were
I was I was just angry. I mean myself I guess for not saying anything at the time
but again like I say just for him coming out to say that he wants to ceasefire
but not taking any of the actions because it's not lifting a finger. They said you wouldn't call
the cops on a woman getting raped that's a fucking complete lie dude but it like they
I at a certain point you got to understand like people just lie about everything. Okay
That's it like that's it. I don't even know where you get this kind of information, but it is a
Obviously fucking ridiculous thing to say come on dude
You got posted next to chapel Roan. Oh, yeah, that's probably why and it's also not for the record
It's not liberals who say that kind of shit. Those are people masquerading as liberals
Okay, those are people masquerading as progressives, but they're not actually fucking progressive at all
Just so you understand if you got a fucking if I'm such a bad person if I'm such a bad person
You should be able to
adequately address why you don't if you always resort to making shit up or
Clip chipping things completely out of context or sometimes even directly leaving the context in the clip
But people don't even watch a fucking clip chimp
Usually before making up their minds. I don't know. Maybe you were just invested in the hate
What is this anti delusion counter clip? Okay? I don't know what you're
It's the quote retweets of this. Yeah, I'm sure none of this matters
Okay, none of this fucking matters. Oh, it's the here's the song saying it's okay for women of rich families to be raped
Yeah, dude, come on
Come the fuck on that clip in and of itself doesn't even that clip in and of itself doesn't even fucking imply the thing that
That person is writing people just see the fucking title and move on
Come the fuck on dude
It's so funny coming from the community that says insanely unhint shit on a regular basis
okay yeah get the fuck out of here dude okay yeah dude hey guys I will once again
repeat my official position okay it is unconscionable for anyone to be raped
what the fuck are you talking about ridiculous your class position does not
matter in this equation. Yeah, they, but most people are normal and understand what is going
on there. Okay. No one even knew the cancellation was even happening. I know it's just, there's
also QTs accusing you of aggravating and hating black people unironically. Yeah, famously.
I do both of those things. We're baiting is when you're an attractive straight man
who openly says they are straight, okay, but also are pro-queer rights. I know.
What I should be is more homophobic, which is funny because like I always say I'm a homophobe.
Who cares? The only thing I bait is at the top of the hour when I bait you into subscribing
because a three-minute abbreak is upon you, okay? And if you no longer want to see those ads,
all you need to do is subscribe for $4 and 20 cents or for free with a twitch prime before
we we're not going to do the the michigan anti-semitism meta i'm going to cover what
adwan said okay because he popped off here calling benjamin ninyahu hitler at the united
nations is like, you know, I hate to give them credit, but he's an extremely, extremely rare
correct position from rigid type out on who, of course, will, you know, continue to do rigid type
out on shit. Yeah, a real worst person, you know, made a good point moment here.
So, we'll talk about this, and then I'm going to move on to the state of Missouri, where
all the Missouri heads out there.
Not great.
We will, of course, be talking about Marcellus Williams, an innocent man on death row that
is slated to be executed in the next two hours, if I'm not mistaken.
But before we get to that, let's talk about this watermelon salesman.
Not only children are dying, but also the United Nations system.
The values that the West claims to defend are dying.
The truth is dying.
The hopes of humanity to live in a more just world are dying one by one.
I am asking you bluntly here, openly, frankly.
I call out to you, oh, human rights organizations,
are those in Gaza and the West Bank, not human beings?
Do children in Palestine have no rights?
Can they play out on the streets, in their homelands
safely, and calling out to the international press
organizations?
Aren't the journalists murdered by Israel
on live TV, your colleagues, whose offices were actually raided as well.
I call out to United Nations Security Council, what are you waiting for to prevent the genocide
in Gaza to put a stop to this cruelty, this barbarianism?
What are you waiting for to stop Netanyahu and his network, who is endangering the
lives of the Palestinian people which is a part of a mass murder network and what are you still
waiting for to stop them putting the danger their own people and the entire region for political game
yeah he um right now you're looking at an innocent man currently he uh he apparently also uh
like and Benjamin Netanyahu to he apparently like and Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler
and said that if the West had any decency or any consistency that they would be they would
be dealing with Benjamin Netanyahu like they dealt with Adolf Hitler bro why do you spread
this left leaned fake news about what oh come on come on come on we got we got to wait
until this guy gives us more takes, you know, there's a lot of new accounts, by the way,
or a lot of accounts that have just started following today. Noticeably more churpers,
but we banned them too quickly. Is that because of the CNN thing? No, no. I mean, it's partially
because of it. Um, I have a lot of, uh, I have a lot of very, very motivated hate watchers
that, um, see, like, see me getting positive coverage and immediately need, feel the need
to like retaliate with counter propaganda to be like, no, no, no, he's bad actually please.
So today we're going to talk about, I mean, I don't know who Corey pop is, but apparently
this was a solid video on Marcellus Williams. We can use this as an anchor to cover the story.
Let's take a look at the awaiting execution. Seven years ago, the DNA on the murder weapon was
finally tested and proved it was not his. Whoever handled this knife left DNA. It is not Marcellus
Williams. His execution was stayed by the then governor and the panel was convened to
to reassess his conviction.
Today, a panel will work to decide if that evidence proves
Williams is innocent.
So why is he still here?
How innocent do you have to be to avoid being executed?
This is injustice is wrong.
The evidence shows my dead is innocent.
The closer you get to execution, the stranger things get.
This interview remains the only one
Marcellus has been able to give on camera from death row.
Right now, as you see, I'm sitting in prison on death row.
My friend Noah did it six years ago
while working on a documentary
about Marcel's son's boxing career.
He's aspiring to be the champion.
I believe, and he feels that given the chance,
he will be the headway champ.
I'm his only child.
He's selling, and he's professionally fighting,
but I've been fighting my whole life
outside the ring.
Because of the fighting outside the ring,
his boxing career was cut short
and as such, so is Noah's documentary.
Fast forward six years later,
Marcellus is still in death row.
Noah comes to me with the work he's done
so we can make this piece that you're watching right now.
Noah gave me a rundown of what he was able to capture
over the time he was working on this documentary.
Sat now with him for a few hours and just talk.
And from there, he started diving in.
And then I flew to Missouri to follow up
and to figure out what has been happening
since he sat down with Marcellus.
It's a knock on this happen with so much evidence.
What do you mean this is this is America?
All of the violence that we contribute to globally,
we also do to ourselves on a regular basis.
He's a black man in Missouri.
That's it.
What's the mother Jones journalist's name
that I've covered here before I met him?
That no, not cat, no, the dude, the black dude.
dude. Garrison? Yeah, Garrison Hayes. So Garrison Hayes had a really good take talk on not Marcellus
Williams, but hold on here. I'm gonna, I'm gonna pull up something that I thought was very
black Americans and informative. Okay. And I'm just gonna let Garrison Hayes explain this to you.
Okay. Now, before we get to Marcel's Williams, okay, what we need to talk about is the way that
black people are treated in the criminal justice system, and the way that that treatment is defended
by racist pieces of shit with cherry-picked data points and also a false presentation of
reality. Charlie Kirk applies one of the classic examples of this in this Jubilee video. I
I didn't even see this part. I don't think. Okay. I don't even, I don't even remember this part, but
I just wanted to, like I said, give voice to Garrison Hayes in this circumstance because he did a
pretty decent job going through some of these white supremacist talking points and what the
actual reality is. And the actual reality of the matter within white supremacy in the criminal
justice system is actually perfectly demonstrated by the current unjustifiable execution of an
innocent man in the state of Missouri that we are, you know, we're about to experience
in the next couple of hours.
It's about 13 to 14 percent of the population.
Yes.
About half of all prisoners are black.
Exactly.
So blacks commit more crimes than whites do.
They commit more murders.
They commit more arsons.
They commit more kidnap things.
For example, blacks are 13 percent of the population and they commit 58 percent of
all the murders.
Let's talk about it. These are obviously racist claims, but I will respond to them as if Charlie Kirk were a reasonable person.
Black Americans are about 13 to 14% of the population, but half of all prisoners are black.
Wrong. Just 38% of America's prison population is black. That's according to the US government.
But it makes you wonder why Charlie feels the need to add an additional 12% to the black prison population.
Could it be because his bigoted talking points only work if he exaggerates?
If Charlie were actually looking for the race that makes up half the prison population
in the U.S., he'd look no further than white people at 57 percent.
So blacks commit more crimes than whites do?
Wrong.
The word so is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.
So blacks commit more crimes?
He's saying so, as in, therefore, as in, one could conclude, but Charlie knows
he's lying.
Even if he hadn't just lied about the black prison population, Charlie is smart enough
to know that correlation does not equal causation.
But he's hoping that you don't know that.
So he deploys the word, so, to make you think he's coming to an obvious conclusion.
He's a Black.
Instead, he's making an illogical racist leak.
Charlie knows that we don't have usable data about who commits crimes.
It's impossible to have that data, since so many crimes go both unreported and or unsolved.
Charlie knows that we only have data about arrests and convictions.
I'll come back to that data in a moment.
What's painfully obvious is that Charlie Kirk isn't interested in understanding the statistics he so carelessly misquotes.
He's interested in making bad faith arguments.
Something that becomes even more obvious in his next point.
Blacks are 13% of the population,
and they commit 58% of all the murders.
Long again, and loud this time.
If Charlie were interested in honesty,
he would have mentioned the other 1350 statistics.
Yes, black people are about 13% of the population,
but make up 53% of all criminal exonerations.
In fact, black people make up 55%
of all murder exonerations specific.
Black people are more likely than any other group in this country to be convicted of crimes
they did not commit.
And then people like you have the nerve to parade these stats around as though they prove
something.
The reality is that you probably know these stats, but you leave them out on purpose because
to bring that stat into this conversation would make some people think.
And that's the last thing a person like you wants.
I disagree.
I think he doesn't know those stats.
But if he did, he also wouldn't mention them.
But the reason why I obviously wanted to talk about this is because you have another real
life example of an innocent black man who is going to be executed when everyone, virtually
everyone understands that he is not guilty of the crime that he is about to be executed
for.
Okay?
It is an unfortunate, unimaginable cruelty that happens quite frequently in this country.
It's one of the major reasons why I routinely talk against capital punishment, against the
death penalty, and yet here we are in the United States of America doing it all over again.
The unbelievable story that has to be heard, and one that is still hard to comprehend once
you take it all in.
It's one littered with stunning revelations and broken promises, and one that puts
Missouri's years-long fight against overturning wrongful convictions directly in the spotlight.
Alright, before we get into the rest of the story, I just wanted to take a minute to say
thanks for being here. This video you're about to watch is the culmination of months of work,
and you're the work by a friend of mine before that. None of this would be possible without you
and without today's sponsor, DeleteMe. The amount of information out there on everyone in this
video and everyone that I research regularly is kind of alarming. All available at just a
a few clicks. This actually goes for my own, which I kind of found out about after running
delete these files.
I'm literally going to let him run his ad chat. Come on. This is a fucking perch.
Let's go adhersely.
This is a very well thought out from certain sites. It's a very well thought out piece
of journalism that this person has put together. I think it's appropriate.
More from data brokers that didn't even know existed. These profiles included things
like social security numbers, recent addresses, information about my relatives, and a lot more.
The first search they did here reviewed 2,000 listings and removed dozens of them on my
behalf.
Not only that, but they're going to routinely check to make sure my information isn't
getting onto new sites and to new data brokers.
And if it does, they're going to remove it on my behalf.

Now, let's get back to the story.
On August 11th, 1998, Felicia Gale, a 42-year-old former reporter for the St. Louis Post Dispatch,
was brutally murdered in her home in St. Louis, Missouri.
She had been stabbed over 40 times and then the knife lodged in her neck in a burglary.
The murder that had happened just 24 days before, another woman Deborah McClain was murdered
in her kitchen with a knife taken from the home in eerily similar scene to Alicia Gale's
murder.
The investigation languished for months, despite the similarities between the burglary
They, they, they claimed that it was a, um, a burglary.
That part is important because it ties it back to Marcellus Williams.
The two murders, the knives being left at both scenes, they're being bloody footprints
in Gale's house, the police had little to go on, no eyewitnesses, no leads for either.
Then a year later there was a break in the Gale case.
It came in the form of a man named Henry Cole, a jailhouse informant who had said
his cellmate had confessed to the murder.
That eventually led to the arrest of Marcellus Williams, who was charged with Gale's murder.
McClain's murder remains unsolved to this day, but Marcellus was in lock-up, so he couldn't
have done it.
The case against Williams or Gale's murder was largely circumstantial.
This was a very brutal murder of a woman who was found in her home having been stabbed
to death.
There were bloody footprints at the crime scene, fingerprints, pairs found in the
victim's hand, none of which matched Marcellus.
Those were not his bloody footprints, those were not his hairs, and the fingerprints were
destroyed.
The state's prosecution relied heavily on the testimony of two informants who had been
incentivized to testify.
The only evidence they used to convict him is what we call incentivized, informed testimonies.
Individuals who came forward because they had something to gain.
The first was cold.
So Marcellus had been in the workhouse and someone who was incarcerated with him,
here's his reward money and essentially says I want this reward money and I want
help with my own case.
He says he won't even testify until he gets that reward money.
The second was Williams' former girlfriend, Laura Soros.
In addition, there's another individual, a woman who Marcellus was known to affiliate
with. Notably the two of them contradict each other in what they say would have happened
and contradict physical evidence that's found at the crime scene.
The key piece of evidence brought against him was Gail's laptop, which he was said to have sold.
The last piece of evidence that they use is a laptop that had been taken from the victim's house
that Marcellus did sell. But what wasn't presented at trial was that the woman
the woman that had come forward and said she had information and manufactured these statements
about Marcellus is the person who gave him that laptop and so it wasn't allowed to come out that
really the only connection to the crime is this informant and not Marcellus Williams.
There were even eyewitnesses who had said they had seen a sorrow with the laptop while
Marcellus was still in county. Usually in death penalty cases the evidence of guilt is
overwhelming and the only real issue you can litigate in most cases is whether
the death penalty was appropriately given. This case was different in that the
evidence that they used to convict him was pretty thin and questionable. All of
this should have been easy to poke holes in for most attorneys but these
problems continued at trial. Since his conviction Williams has argued in several
motions that he received an ineffective counsel during the trial which
came from a public defender assigned to him. It's no secret that America's public defender
system has been stretched to its breaking point, but nowhere near as much as Missouri, which
ranks 49th in the country in spending on indigent defenses. In 2017 alone, 320 public
defenders handled 80,000 cases in the state of Missouri. The state has repeatedly vetoed
bills that would supply funding to help alleviate this caseload.
The Missouri state public defender system is asking...
Yeah, this case is particularly unique because the prosecutor that convicted Williams is a prominent figure pushing for a sense to be vacated.
This never happens unless an error is particularly egregious on behalf of the prosecutor.
Another similar case is in Texas with the, with the person on death row being a white man
where it's not the prosecutor necessarily, but the main detective, the lead investigator that is also
pushing to, to vacate his sentence as well.
Yes, this is literally every single person involved in this court case is now aware of
Marcellus Williams's innocence, every single person, okay?
It is insane that this is even a point of contention and the only person who could stop
this from happening right now is the governor.
The victim's family is obviously defending the innocence of Marcellus Williams.
I believe jurors themselves have come out and been like, we made the wrong decision given
the information that we had at the time.
He is innocent.
The only person who can pardon Marcellus Williams and stop him from being executed
by the state is the governor of Missouri.
The problem, however, is that the governor of Missouri yesterday came out and said
He will not stop this execution for more taxpayer money.
They say thousands of defendants are.
No, Biden cannot stop this execution. He could call for a, uh,
he could call the governor and tell him to stop this execution.
He could use the bully pulpit, but he cannot directly legally stop this
execution. This is a state level crime. Okay.
In the United States of America, the president can pardon crimes only at the federal level.
The only person who can stop this is the current governor of Missouri.
Waiting list because the office does not have enough attorneys to represent them.
These people like Williams with inadequate counsel and inevitable outcomes like wrongful convictions.
Preparing a case for trial is, is, take hundreds of hours if done properly.
And if not done properly, then we end up with all these wrongful convictions.
At jury selection, Marcellus ended up with the mostly white jury when the prosecution
struck six of the seven qualified black jurors.
When the trial was over, despite the questionable witnesses and the evidence being all circumstantial,
they deliberated for less than 90 minutes before finding them guilty.
There's something in the US judicial system called the Batson Challenge that is supposed
to prevent the prosecution from striking qualified jurors on the sole ground of group
bias.
In this case, race.
This was a black man being tried by an almost entirely white jury for a white woman's death
in Missouri in the 1990s.
When Marcellus defense tried to argue Batson in a 2003 motion, the state indicated that
the jurors were struck because of prosecution stated their clothing indicated they were
trying to be different.
That was reason enough and not racially motivated so Patson didn't apply.
For years, Marcellus pleaded his innocence.
His case was taken up by multiple different legal teams who fought tooth and nail to finally
get the DNA that they had found on the knife, properly tested.
It turned out to be another man's profile.
There is a DNA testing statute in the Missouri law, but it's real narrowly written,
so we just had to make that request in a broader claim of that he was innocent
There's enough doubts about his innocence that he shouldn't be executed and we can prove it if you let us do this further DNA testing
It's not always a weapon like in Marcellus's case where it's left in the victim's body. That's a
Incredibly obvious piece of evidence. It's a no that that wasn't tested was just shocking
It just blew my mind
Don't you think you put in this room the governor's reputation in future election along with the resulting in his local protesting against them
What are you talking about? Nobody gives a shit
It's another innocent black man being executed. It happens all the fucking time in the United States of America and the US Supreme Court
Genuinely loves
Continuing with these executions on a regular basis
No, it happens all the fucking time
According to Slate
We are currently witnessing the worst execution spree in three decades, okay
is written in September 23rd, 2024, yesterday. This week is shaping up to be a very bad one
for death penalty opponents in the United States. If all goes according to plan states will put five
people to death in a one week span ending Thursday. That is an unusual though not unprecedented
number of executions in such a short period of time. To understand just how unusual it is,
consider that in 2023, the total number of executions for the entire year was 24,
less than one execution every other week. In 2022, 18 people were put to death for a rate
of roughly one execution every third week. Indeed, one would have to go back almost three decades to
1997 to find a parallel to what may unfold this week during a seven-day period in May that year
Texas executed five people. South Carolina executed Khalil Allah formerly known as Freddy Owens
in his first executions 2011. The others are planned for Tuesday and Thursday in Texas, Missouri,
Alabama, and Oklahoma, all of which regularly carry out executions. It is just a coincidence
that all these states are moving in lockstep, coincidence or not, or a close look at each of
the cases and some in which some will be executed this week highlights not just the kind of horrible
crimes that can lead someone on death row but also many of the penalties crippling problems.
This week's executions include two cases in which there are substantial doubts about whether
that person being executed is actually innocent. Two others illustrate the fact that the death
penalty is often used against people who are poor, vulnerable, abused, in many ways broken,
not against the worst criminals.
The fifth highlights America's futile search
for a method of execution that will be save, reliable,
and humane, which is, of course, ironic to say.
Ridiculous, an oxymoronic statement
looking for a method of execution that
is save, reliable, and humane.
Every aspect of the capital punishment
from the methods used to how you are going
to deploy this execution in a consistent manner
is completely broken.
It's a fundamentally contradictory argument.
Okay?
The fact that three of the five people
who will be executed this week are black
only underlines the continuing salience of race
in determining who gets sentenced to death and executed.
All told, this week's execution is pre-issued
on settle all Americans,
whether or not they support the death penalty.
It will offer further reasons
for why capital punishment should be abolished
everywhere in this country.
To see why, let's start with last Friday's execution
of Khalil Allah.
He was convicted of the 1997 murder of Irene Granger Graves,
a single mother of three who worked as a convenience store
clerk.
No physical evidence connected a law to the crime.
The key evidence against him was testimony
from his co-defendant, Stephen Golden,
who said a law shot graves.
Golden did so after reaching a deal with the prosecutors
that he would not be given a death sentence
in return for his testimony.
A law maintained his innocence
from the time he was arrested to the day he died.
And just before South Carolina put him to death,
new evidence came to light suggesting
what he had been saying for years was true
last wednesday golden recanted his testimony inside an affidavit saying
pretty owens is not the person who shot iran graves at the sweet as the way
on november first nineteen ninety seven
ready was not present when i rob the speedway that day
but neither the south carolina supreme court the state's governor nor
the united states supreme court moved
uh... in a way that uh... would save a lot from the ultimate punishment for
crime he may not have even committed
On Tuesday, which is today,
Missouri is going to follow through
on the execution of Marcellus Williams,
the reason why we're talking about this to begin with,
who is another victim of a miscarriage of justice.
He would be the third death row inmate executed
in the state this year.
As Newsweek votes, Williams was convicted of murder
and sentenced to death in connection with the 1999 death
of social worker and former journalist, Felicia Gale.
None of the physical evidence collected at the scene
pointed to Williams.
There's also, as we said, recent DNA evidence
that shows that his DNA was not on,
like the DNA matched with the knife on the scene
of the crime lodged in the neck of the victim,
did not have his DNA.
As Newsweek notes, Williams was convicted of murder
since the death in connection with the 1998 death of social worker and former
journalist Felicia Gale, even though there was no physical evidence that
connected him to the scene of the crime. Remember, a knife attack is a deeply
personal form of, you know, obvious, insane, violent crime. Okay? But due to
the personal nature of the crime itself, it is virtually impossible to not
leave any DNA at the scene of the crime. Okay? Impossible. So while forensic evidence oftentimes
can get things wrong, this is one of those instances where if he was at the scene of
the crime, he would have left some kind of evidence. Williams' connection like a
Lost Newsweek suggests turned on the testimony of two unreliable witnesses who were incentivized
the promises of leniency in their own pending criminal cases and reward money. Eventually,
even the prosecutor's office that originally brought the case against Williams asked the courts
to stop the execution today that is going to happen. The prosecutor's office, okay, that right
there is insane. Like that is not a thing that ever happens unless it is so obvious that they
fucked up. Texas plans to execute on Tuesday Travis Mullis, making him the fourth person.
The state is executed in 2024. Mullis was found guilty of capital murder in 2011.
He was accused of sexually assaulting his three month old son, Elijah Mullis,
then stomping his head and choking him, resulting in death. No one contends that
Mullis is innocent of that horrible crime. But his case shows the way that America's death
penalty is used against troubled and vulnerable people. Mullis is a mental illness resulting
from troubled and abusive childhood. His attorneys say that he was in and out of mental
health treatment centers diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, and attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder. Mullis was also ill-served by his lawyers in the original
trial who did a poor job of describing the depths of his mental illness. As a result,
the jury heard just a fraction of the horrors in Mullis' life. Like with Mullis,
if Oklahoma goes ahead with his plan to kill Immanuel Little John on Thursday,
It will execute someone who was abused throughout his childhood and whose formative years were
marked by frequent exposure to violence and drugs.
Little John was 20 years old when he murdered Kenneth Mears during a robbery.
His lawyers contend that because of the abuse he suffered at the time of the killing, Little
John's brain was less developed than the typical 20-year-olds.
In addition, they note a death sentence in a case with similar facts hasn't been
handed down in more than 15 years.
Those facts convinced a majority of the members of the Oklahoma Party and the Parole
board to recommend that the governor commute little John's sentence. Finally, this week,
Allen Eugene Miller is scheduled for a second trip to Alabama's death chamber.
In 2022, the state failed to complete its first execution attempt using lethal injection when
they were unable to access a vein. They tried to kill him in 2022, they failed to do so,
and now he's back in. I feel like even in medieval times, it's like if you fucking,
If you were able to evade certain death by the executioner like you probably should get a fucking, you know
You probably should not be executed, you know, I don't know
Miller joined a long list of people whose execution by lethal injection were seriously botched now, Alabama plans to kill him using
nitrogen hypoxia
They're gonna suffocate him to death
It would only be the second time that this method has been used anywhere in the country
the first time was in January this year when Kenneth Smith was executed it did
not go well. Witnesses say Smith suffered greatly. Five executions in seven
days will give America a vivid picture of what happens when the state kills. We
should take this opportunity to consider whether we want to continue
using unreliable methods of execution, risking killing people who just might be
innocent or are the victims of abusive childhoods or mental illness or who
get a death sentence because of their race or the race of their victims. A
A lot of people mistake justice for vengeance.
Justice is not vengeance.
The goal of the justice system is to ensure
that these crimes do not happen again.
Okay, killing someone is not justice.
It's simply vengeance.
That's it.
That's it.
And it completely goes against the principle
behind the criminal justice system.
I've always been an opponent of the death penalty
of capital punishment, I find it to be truly unconscionable.
I think it's like yet another glaringly obvious example
of the hypocrisy demonstrated by people
who claim to be pro-life.
It is completely unacceptable.
It is barbaric.
And the fact that it still exists
in the United States of America,
which is a standalone country, by the way,
in comparison to other OECD nations is ridiculous.
But we are a truly barbaric nation.
Okay? We are an incredibly draconian nation. Our attitude towards punishing crimes is insanely
out of whack. The goal of the criminal justice system is supposed to rehabilitate people
who have done horrifying things. Okay? No matter how wrong those crimes may be, you
should not stray away from your overarching goal of rehabilitating every single person.
Now there are certain instances where at least modern medicine is incapable of truly rehabilitating
of certain people that have conducted certain crimes, okay?
But that should not stop us from trying to find active solutions, adequate solutions to
these problems.
It does not mean that someone who was like killed a baby after raping them gets to
walk away free, okay?
That is not the argument here.
That is not the argument at all.
The argument should be that every single person, because the overwhelming majority of people
that are currently in prison, are not there for raping and killing a fucking baby, okay?
If you're anti-murder, you absolutely should be anti-murdering people in the hands of
the state.
That's libshit, says socialist conscience, yeah.
liberalism to say that state sanctioned murder is wrong. I know. Well, I guess I'm a fucking
live then, except it's not libshit. Liberals love this too. Okay. Most liberals don't give
a fuck about this kind of thing. Why can't we just put down the criminal subhuman scum?
Well, here is the reason why we shouldn't do that because 55% of black people or black
people comprise 55% of all people that are unjustifiably put forward as perpetrators of
murder. Don't you consider that to be a significant wrong? A lot of people get falsely claimed
of crimes that they did not commit. What are we talking about? Out of those who are
incorrectly convicted of murder, 55% of them happen to be black. Since 1973 at least
200 people have been executed in the US who were later exonerated, most of which could
have been exonerated before their deaths and some of them were and were still executed.
And those are only the instances that we know of with conclusive evidence of their innocence.
What's really funny about a lot of liberals is they love talking about how racist Donald
Trump is and even point to fucking the Central Park Five execution ad that Donald
Trump took out on the New York Times, but then failed to consider that they're
behaving in the exact same way.
The same principle exists here.
This went on for months without any movement.
No evidentiary hearings, no chance to present this new evidence.
Then, at the last minute, just hours before his execution, the Governor Eric Grytins decided
to stay as execution. Marcellus Williams would be dead tonight without Governor
Eric Gryton's issuing a stay of execution. Marcellus remembers that day. I was
like maybe a couple of hours away from being executed. I actually seen the
execution team go into the little room and what they look materials that had
already came to grips with that. In staying the execution, Gryton
cited the new DNA evidence and assigned a board of retired judges to
convene and make a decision on if Marcellus deserved a new trial.
Governor Gritons will appoint five retired judges to the panel to review Marcellus Williams case,
including that new DNA evidence. Everyone is hopeful. It's looking way better than it was before.
Anything better than him facing death puns. So now he getting the chairs and the shot he needed.
Yeah, by the way, the changes of the Democratic Party's criminal justice platform you may
have missed is, for example, there's no mention of police brutality in the 2024 platform as
opposed to the 2020 platform that did talk about police brutality. And beyond that, they've also
removed language on working towards abolishing the death penalty. At what time is he supposed
to be executed in an hour and 20 minutes? Yes. They're the GOP but just gay now is correct.
Yes, that is what the Democratic Party has become.
Gay GOP.
That'll go away soon, too, though, they'll just become full blown GOP.
You know.
They'll do away with that, too.
Don't worry, it's coming.
For them to look over the DNA evidence.
But the sentiment was short lived because what happened following that
was nothing short of stunning.
The boarding inquiry is something unique to the state of Missouri.
It's a law that's been rarely invoked in each of the few
times it has yielded bizarre results. The late 90s, the then Governor Mel Carnahan issued
a stay of execution and invoked the border inquiry to look into the case of William Theodore
Boliak Jr. Carnahan then died in a plane crash and because
of the wording in his stay, Boliak remained on death row to this day with his execution
being forever stayed. Marcel's case, the border inquiry that then
Governor Eric Gritons requested to convene, didn't back to me. It was the first
move made a while and gave him and his legal team hope.
Are you going to come out with this board?
I'm hopeful, but I don't believe in trusting the judicial system.
But I'm hopeful that some good will come out of it
one way or another.
And I'll just leave it at that.
Marcellus' hesitation here, born
of a lengthy and complicated legal process that
had kept him behind bars for years,
proved to be prescient.
This hope was indeed short lived
because as the board began to meet, something happened.
In Missouri, Republican Governor Eric Greitens wants considered
Yeah, the only other group that could potentially halt the execution
is the US Supreme Court, which it of course
as of literally five minutes ago, declined to halt the execution
of Missouri death row.
M.A. Marcellus Williams, knowing fucking full well, knowing full well of his innocence.
A lot of people will be like, oh, I don't understand.
Like, what's the purpose here?
Like what's the reason? It's because they're bad people. They're evil people and they like doing evil shit. That's it
There is literally no other justification for this
Okay
It's because they are evil people the Supreme Court loves
loves it
They love
Defending the execution of black men. There is no other way. There is no other way to fucking point to this reality
Just literally if you know anything about the United States Supreme Court, you know this, okay?
They do this all the fucking time
Specifically intellectually disabled black inmates. They love that shit. Yeah, Antonin Scalia
They say it out loud mere factual innocence is no reason not to carry out a death sentence properly reached. I repeat
Me, mere factual innocence is no reason not to carry out a death sentence properly reached.
Okay?
A miscarriage of justice is not a miscarriage of justice at all, as long as the death sentence
was properly reached.
It does not matter.
We will execute innocent people as long as the court proceedings were properly conducted.
I mean, if you think that that is the worst thing that Antonin Scalia has said, that's
Antonin Scalia who has justified the use of torture in the United States Supreme Court
by pointing to 24, a fictional work by claiming that if there was a terrorist that wanted
a nuke DC like in the television show 24 and torture was the only method to get the information
out of him. Of course you'd be pro torture or Antonin Scalia who also once famously made
the slippery slope argument about gay people getting married. If gay people can get married
then what's next? What if they want to marry dogs? That is literally both of those
things are things that Antonin Scalia said and did and defended positions that he said
and publicly defended in dissent and you can learn about this in an introductory constitutional
law class as I did when I was in college.
Rising star on the GOP has just resigned this afternoon amid an impeachment effort sparked
by a pair of scandals.
Today, I am announcing that I will resign as governor of Missouri effective Friday
June 1st at 5 p.m.
former Missouri Governor Eric Gryton's issue that day. He impaneled the special
board to examine the facts of the case and make a recommendation. But then a
personal scandal forced Gryton's out leaving the board in jeopardy and the
future of Marcellus Williams entirely unclear. Governor has succeeded
Gryton's. Mike Parsons came in as someone tough on crime, which caused me
to believe the board was in jeopardy. I remember CBS killing in a town saying
what's what's gonna happen with Marcellus Williams? Will you keep the
Gordon McRae still intact and he said you know I'm gonna let them do what right and set them up to do
Now if you think Governor Parsons is a man who doesn't utilize the pardon power
Well, you'd be wrong
He has utilized
The the pardon power the governor of Missouri governor Mike pardon Mike Parsons almost called a Mike pardon
It's just, he doesn't like to use it against certain people.
Here is Missouri Governor pardoning the St. Louis couple who aimed guns at protesters
during the Black Lives Matter protest.
If you recall, Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who gained prominence for confronting demonstrators,
had each pill pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge.
They were pardoned.
The Missouri Governor shortens the DWI prison sentence of former Chiefs Assistant
coach Britt Reid. Missouri Governor Mike Parsons on Friday, shortened the prison sentence of
former Kansas City Chiefs Assistant Coach Britt Reid for a drunken driving crash that
seriously injured a five-year-old girl. Yeah, you don't have to make this shit up. They
give you plenty of evidence. Okay.
Know the board was canceled. Will they meet? Will they make a recommendation to you
and what will you do then?
I would assume they would not heard of not going to so I think once they make that recommendation if they do meet and we'll discuss at the time and now we found that that's not the case.
Parson of course dissolved the board and in the state's years of work towards Marcellus.
Are you actually being serious dog? Look in front of your eyes like it's not like I'm making this shit up it's in front of you like these are things that he has done.
Every single every single thing that I have mentioned is factually accurate. Okay.
Taining a hearing. After everything Marcellus had been through, for his case to once again
be thrown into turmoil for things outside of his control seemed unbelievable. How did
the scandal-plagued Governor of Missouri's resignation essentially ruin Marcellus' chances
at freedom? The funny thing about Parsons' tough-on-crime stance and these actions
are that they only seem to apply to certain people in certain cases, for they're compounding
how justice works within the state of Missouri. Parsons has been granting pardons and
Clemencey had an exceptional reign more than any governor of the area since the 1940s. But
this has a specific political tent to it. It's just odd. Oh, he covers this. Never mind. Okay.
It's just odd because he has given out a lot more pardons than, you know, than most other
governors. So why is it that in this circumstance, when there's a dude who is straight up innocent,
he is refusing to pardon him since Clemencey only comes for people like Mark and Patricia
McCloskey. The couple who became famous for waging guns at Black Lives Matter protesters.
Missouri Governor Mike Parsons office confirms his recent group of pardons and commutations
include Mark and Patricia McCloskey. The St. Louis couple made national headlines last summer
when they waved guns at demonstrators in their Central West End neighborhood.
As of August 2022, 90 percent of Parsons pardons have been white petitioners,
which when you look at the demographics of those incarcerated in the state seems nearly
impossible. For those outside of Parsons purview the justice system seems to be
Let's just hold on. I need you to understand one more time this fact. As of August 2022, 90%
of the governor of Missouri, Parsons pardons have been white petitioners.
Pardons have been white petitioners, which when you look at the demographics of those
incarcerated. When you look at the demographics, why people
comprise 55% of the Missouri jail population? The state seems
nearly impossible. For those outside of Parsons' purview, the
justice system seems to lean its full weight on them.
Parsons dissolved the board of inquiry looking into
Marcellus' case and took no further action. We filed a
civil lawsuit saying we don't believe the governor has the
authority to dissolve that board because he had to wait until they finished their work.
Once they finished their work, he could do what he wanted with his currency powers, but
the order had already been there.
Unfortunately, the Missouri Supreme Court disagreed with that and recently dismissed that civil
case.
And at that point, the Attorney General argued there was no other reason that an
execution date shouldn't be set.
We're here now and he's got a September execute.
This is the last part of the process.
Here it is.
Governor, Mike Parsons, has also said that he is potentially going to either release or
shorten the prison sentence of the first Kansas City police officer ever convicted of killing
a black man, signaling in recent comments is disapproval of the former detectives'
incarceration.
A Republican in the final months of his time in office came close to a promising
commutation or pardon for the KCPD detective, Eric Devel Canary, in a radio interview last
week.
The comments are furthest, the comments are the furthest, the governor of former Polk
County Sheriff has gone and telegraphing that he plans to take action in the case.
There's not a week that goes by that somebody is not reaching out to me about that issue
and we're going to see what happens here before long.
I'll leave it at that.
But you know, I don't like where he's at.
I'll just say that.
The Valkyneria was found guilty at a trial in Jackson County in 2021 on charges of
second degree involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action in the killing
of 26 year old Cameron Lamb.
DeValganari is currently serving a six year sentence
after shooting Lamb as Lamb was backing up
his pickup truck into his garage.
DeValganari's believed to be in custody
in and out of state prison after previously being held
in state prison in Fulton.
The Missouri Supreme Court has declined
to overturn his convictions,
leaving commutation imparted by the governor
as his only viable option to leave prison.
All of this speaks to how baffling this system
in the state of Missouri is.
In Missouri is one of the more difficult
legal systems to navigate, in particular because of the opposition that every innocent's case is
faced. Even when clear and convincing evidence emerges in a case, overturning a wrongful
conviction here is an uphill battle. I had a case, it was a death row case, where the guy
to the two witnesses who identified him as killing this guy both recanted their stories,
we tried to get it back in front of the trial court here in Kansas City, the state opposed
didn't, the judge said I can't hear this, denied him, and he's still in prison or still
trying to get him out.
The appeals process in the United States is already a lengthy and complicated one, but
in Missouri it is especially tough.
There's strict filing deadlines, limited resources for post-conviction investigations,
procedural barriers, restrictive criteria for DNA testing, and a high bar for introducing
new evidence.
You can have a winning case, and the court won't hear it because of procedural default.
And that happens time and time again.
It's happened in Missouri numerous times.
The guys have been executed without really any meaningful review of their cases because
of that.
All of these hurdles have directly hindered Marcellus Williams' pursuit of the truth.
In Marcellus's case, we were unnecessarily defaulted on a lot of stuff, but we were
forwarded at every turn in trying to get court authorization to get access to evidence that
could exonerate him.
Procedurally illegally the state of Missouri has set up in a way that continually thwarts
attempts to seek justice, but the power the attorney general holds in this state further
complicates things and leads to horrific situations that honestly shocked me the
further I went down the rabbit hole.
The attorney general's office in the state of Missouri has fought tooth and nail
against every appeal and every hearing in the last several decades.
When they fight it, they fight to just prevent a hearing from even happening.
And that's what we see time and time again, this argument of finality over fairness.
We just need to be done, and not that we just need to get it right.
When you have an office that takes these really hard line approaches, there's not
a lot of room for the facts or justice in those cracks in between.
Combined with the laws the state has enacted over these years, it has caused so many problems
for those arguing wrongful convictions.
Just a few weeks ago, the AG's office blocked the release of Christopher Dunn, who had served
30 years for a crime he didn't commit.
story. He was just minutes away from walking free. The 11th hour moved by the Missouri
Supreme Court, halting the release of Christopher Dunn. A circuit court judge overturned his
conviction on the basis that both eyewitnesses had recanted their stories. Dunn was set to
be released only to have Missouri's current AG Andrew Bailey block it through the Missouri
Supreme Court. On Monday, St. Louis Circuit Court judged overturned his conviction,
But Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey appealed his release on Wednesday that same
Like you have to understand like this is just straight white supremacy, right? Like if you're asking
What the fuck's going on? Like how do we get here? How does this happen?
It is just pure unfiltered unvarnished white supremacy. That's it
like what purpose
What kind of what kind of
of threat does this person constitute to society
that he must remain behind bars.
Okay?
Even if he had actually fucking,
like even if he actually did the crime,
at this point, at this point,
like even if he had actually done the crime,
after decades spent in prison,
like what fucking, what threat does this person have?
The only reason why you are spending government resources on this shit is because you want
to, I mean it serves the exact same purposes like putting statues of the confederate generals
right outside of the courthouse, okay?
It is a constant reminder and a reaffirmation that this is a white supremacist criminal
justice system and you should know your fucking place. Okay, that's it. That's it.
Game judge overruled Bailey, but just as done was about to get out, the Missouri
Supreme Court halted it per Bailey's request. Hira says she doesn't understand
why A.G. Bailey is fighting it so hard. All of this takes courage and it's rare
and to see another part of the state.
Try to slap that down and try to kill it.
I just don't understand it.
This comes just a week after Bailey attempted the same thing with Sandra Heming,
the longest held wrongly incarcerated woman known in the U.S.
Heming's conviction was overturned only to have her released blocked by Bailey.
Eventually he was overruled and she was set free.
In the wake of it, her attorney, Sean Bailey, said it shouldn't be this hard to free an innocent person.
just going to show how bad the system need to be reformed.
It is broken.
A judgment was made 35 days ago.
She was innocent, but Attorney General Andrew Bailey fought her release in the courts
until the judge ordered her release by 6 p.m.
or he would hold the Attorney General in contempt.
Despite his conviction being overturned,
Dunn remained behind bars because of the Attorney General's petitions.
We are overjoyed and at the same time,
also afraid to really exhale until Chris actually takes his first free steps.
The human cost of these systematic failures is staggering.
Collectively, Missouri's exonerees have served hundreds of years behind bars for crimes they
didn't commit.
Families have been torn apart, lives derailed, and-
Why do Asians do this?
Is it careerism?
No, dude, it's white supremacy.
That's it.
It is white supremacy.
That's it.
There's nothing else.
The true perpetrators were left to commit further crimes.
She says no family should have to go through what Chris.
The criminal justice system is built on the foundation of white supremacist values.
That woman is white.
That doesn't change the reality that for all of the other non-white fucking victims of
the criminal justice system, you have to uphold law and order in the same degree
because you're going to kill a lot of black people that way.
Sivers family went through yesterday.
He says tonight they're waiting and trying to keep hope as this entire legal process continues to play out.
Marcellus' son knows all too well about this pain and the waiting, the keeping hope, the lengthy legal processes.
My dad and his, the situation, I'm really got to be there for him.
You know what I'm saying? You got to let your dad know you love him. You know, get somebody that roges while they're still alive.
These people want to put all the pressure. They make the visions uncomfortable.
They make the lawyers run around in circles, you know what I'm saying, it's just too much.
Some studies indicate that 4 to 6% of the inmate population in America is actually innocent,
which would mean that there could be hundreds more Missouri behind bars for a crime they
didn't commit.
For a state that incarcerates its population at a rate higher than the national average
and higher than most countries in the world, it needs to be sure it's getting these
convictions right.
Instead, it spent years railing against policies that would alleviate the
You get it?
Do you understand?
Can you explain how it's white supremacy and how it applies here?
America never abolished slavery.
They just simply legalized it in the form of the criminal justice system.
criminal justice system that was the criminal justice system that's historically been used
and will continue to be used against overwhelmingly black and brown population. And yes, white
supremacy does end up sometimes directly harming, I mean, in many instances actually
directly harming white people as well. It's the same reason why white people are shocked
when police brutalize them and they go, what are you doing to me? I'm not black, but we
are not we, but the other white people look at that and go, look, sometimes it's going
to happen because ultimately that violent force is used against those we have decided
to be violently suppressed. It's kind of, you know, it kind of comes with the territory.
Some white people will also have to stay in prison even if they are innocent because ultimately
we're using that, we're using that structure to enslave black and brown people.
Problem and refuses to acknowledge any wrongdoing.
These people play games but they don't want to admit they wrongdoing so it's the same
a story, a new day, new book, you know, same shit man.
The one strange thing Marcellus has on his side
in this fight for innocence is doing it from death row.
Missouri is the only state in the country
where if you can prove your innocence,
you can get out of prison,
but only if you were sentenced to death.
So if you can prove your innocence
and you were not sentenced to death,
the courts essentially say we don't have any authority
to do that.
In the 2016 ruling of Lincoln v. Cassidy
by the Missouri Supreme Court,
The court decided that freestanding claims of actual innocence, where a person asserts
they are factually innocent of the crime for which they were convicted, even if there were
no procedural errors in the trial, are only recognizable for individuals on death row.
The decision effectively closed off a crucial avenue for potentially innocent prisoners
serving non-death sentences to challenge their convictions based solely on new evidence
of their innocence.
In 2016, the Court of Appeals in Missouri said,
it didn't matter essentially how strong
the evidence of innocence was.
The Missouri Supreme Court had only found innocence
in a death penalty case, not in any other case.
And so it did not have the power
to overturn Rodney's conviction
because he was not sentenced to death.
That is still essentially the law today.
Many individuals, myself included,
have asked the Missouri Supreme Court to rehear this.
They have declined to do so.
And so what we see in cases like Rodney's
or our others and individuals is there's a very distinct
partition between when we will hear evidence of innocence
and when we won't.
The ruling in Lincoln v. Cassidy has had
far-reaching consequences, as seen in cases like
Christopher Dunn's where compelling evidence
of innocence exists but cannot be fully considered
by the courts due to this precedent.
For Marcellus, despite the fact he can present
these freestanding claims of innocence,
it has done little to help his case.
It embodies every aspect of this broken justice system, and these failures very well could
end in the execution of an innocent man.
It's been seven long years since the lab finally properly tested the DNA on the murder
weapon found in Felicia Gale, and proved it was not Marcellus Williams.
It has been seven long years since Marcellus Williams lawyers have been seeking an evidentiary
hearing to present this bombshell.
And it has been seven long years of the state of Missouri fighting this revelation
like it has every other case.
Why not have the hearing right and the Attorney General's office is currently filed a motion
to dismiss the prosecutor's office.
Shut your stupid bitch ass up dude.
Okay.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Jesus Christ dude.
What are you defending here?
What are you defending here?
Please.
What the fuck are you defending?
The Attorney General of Missouri is not a fucking white supremacist, he's just
a bad person.
fucking what are you right is he your fucking dad dude is that what it is
what's going on but what a fucking distinction without a difference oh my
god please get a fucking grip anyway the top of the hour is abraig is here
okay I'm just it's too late can't have a hearing finally after the execution
date was set the state decided it would allow an evidentiary hearing for
DNA evidence. Then the A.G. Andrew Bailey filed a writ of probation to dismiss the hearing.
The court rejected this and the hearing will still proceed on August 21st, but not for lack of
trolling. What's so disturbing about what's happening in Marcelo's case is that we have,
in January, a prosecutor viling motion to overturn his conviction on the basis of his innocence
in January, and then just six months later an execution date being set before hearing
on that motion has been held.
It's a very real possibility that because of the speed in which the courts work, that
the results of the evidentiary hearing will not be known until after Marcellus lands
is executed on September 24th.
There's no coming back from an execution, and where there's DNA evidence and a prosecutor
saying, I want a hearing on this DNA evidence because I believe this person is innocent.
To not have that hearing, to just say it's too late, would really say something about
what it means to try to seek justice in our system.
Beyond the convincing DNA evidence, the ineffective counsel, the contradicting eyewitnesses,
something else has come to light.
Notably, Wild Noah was making his documentary.
A private investigator had spoken with Asaro before she had passed and said she had
They recanted her story saying Marcella said nothing to do with the murder.
Somebody was following Laura, Asara, before she passed, but apparently she said she said
he didn't do it, he didn't do it.
She died before they could get a sworn affidavit.
They tried to get an affidavit to her, and she passed before she could.
Even in spite of all that, all the other evidence in this case that points to Marcella
William's innocence should lead to his exoneration, or at least a new trial, but only time will
tell if that happens.
The governor of Missouri's AG will fight this case to the bitter end and even if his
conviction is overturned they could block his release from prison like they did Christopher
Dunn and Sandra Himmie.
Of course on top of all this are the ethics of the death penalty, which are for another
time.
Doesn't matter where someone stands on the death penalty here, if we want to
have that system, there has to be a possibility for somebody to have their innocence heard
before a step is taken that can never be undone.
This entire journey has disillusioned me on the justice system's approach to wrongful
convictions and even more so on Missouri's fight for finality of a fairness.
But it has also taught me that if a case gets enough attention, it very well could
mean life or death for the person at the center.
He a good man, he a honorable man, and he an innocent man.
So that's that.
Thanks again to Lee Kneed for making this video possible.
I just wanted to also say thanks to Noah and his crew
and all the work they did.
If you want to know how to get involved,
people to donate to you, petitions to sign,
congressmen to annoy.
I've included some links down below.
This was, this guy did phenomenal work, Corey Pop.
I don't know what his other, you know, I don't know what his other videos look like. I guess he's made three.
The execution will happen in an hour. Yeah, if you go to facts0.com, you can send a, you can send the facts to the office of the governor of Missouri. Many people are doing that, but I think that this is beyond my calls for help.
I think our criminal justice system is working as intended.
It is only broken to the extent that our society is broken.
If your intention is to, you know...
Tom AC Coates also had a...
Yeah, his voicemail is full.
Calling his office will not do anything.
His voicemail inbox has been full for days.
You know, the jail massive numbers of people,
If you believe that prison is an effective means of dealing with the myriad social needs
of the African American community, then it is pretty effective.
In fact, there's a long history in this country of dealing with problems in the African American
community through criminal justice, criminalizing social problems in a way that we don't do
in other communities.
For instance, if you looked at the research, you would find that somewhere around 60 to
70% of the people in prisons and in jails are suffering some sort of mental health problem.
I was a 50% going there dealing with some sort of chemical dependency.
Viewed from another lens, these are public health problems.
One could look at the massive number of African-American men who are out of work in the intersection
between that and prison.
One could look at where prisons are located and you would find that a lot of times friends
are located in rural regions, you know, where all other industries effectively shut down.
And you might think that is actually an employment problem and not a criminal justice problem.
The enduring view of African Americans in this country is as a race of people who are
prone to criminality.
I mean, literally, we have the notion of black people as, you know, criminals written
into our constitution.
We have a fugitive slave cost, which effectively makes all the things that are normal for
any other American in that period illegal for black people.
to pursue your own freedom, was illegal.
Slavery was enforced by the criminal justice system,
the slave laws.
It made very, very ordinary things like,
learn to read, effectively a criminal act.
Frederick Douglass is an escaped slave, he's a criminal.
He's stolen his bias, he says it in one of his speeches.
How are you telling it?
He's running a massive criminal conspiracy, stealing people.
I know we all love Martin Luther King today,
But in his time by, you know, the highest powers
in the American justice system,
Martin Luther King was viewed as a criminal.
He'll buy J. Edgar Hoover.
Arguably perhaps by, you know,
the Kennedy administration and the Johnson administration.
I say that because they signed off on the bugging,
you know, of his home and, you know, wherever he was.
The lens of criminal justice is the way
this country is traditionally regarded black people.
I don't know that anything is broken at all.
The deeper question is, are we OK with something
on the order of 4,000 African-American males
per 100,000 being in jail?
Are we OK with that?
Are we OK with there being a one in three chance
for every African-American male born in this generation
of eventually doing some sort of time in prisons and in jail?
Are we all right with that?
And that goes to the deeper question
of are we all right with Black people in the position
that they are in our society, or do we
have some sort of long-term commitment to justice?
The governor won't do anything because he, yes, he is racist, okay?
That's simple. And neither would the, in the Supreme Court didn't do anything because they are racist too.
We're gonna get to, we're gonna get to the Rishita Tlaib smears in a second.
Can you really want to explain?
But before that, let's talk about John Stuart on Israel Lebanon and the widening Middle East war.
Experience the full cognitive dissonance and language calisthenics that have to be deployed to describe the Middle East.
over the last, I don't know, four, five, six, 10,000 years.
How we're describing what I give you, the golden soundbite brought down from Sinai
to explain how f***ing convoluted this has to be.
What the Israeli government has said, and the Biden
administration is in many ways subscribed to this
idea, is de-escalation through escalation.
Or as that is sometimes called, the subhead, de-escalation through escalation through escalation
that phrase is wherever it's right out of, hold on a second let me see if I can find it, there's a longer version of this in the docket.
By the way speaking of Europe let's talk about the Middle East.
As you know, October 7th marks the one year anniversary of the horrific attack against
the Israeli citizens, the kidnapping of hostages, many of whom have died, many of whom are still
being held.
Since then, there's also been a horrific war in Gaza, which doesn't seem to have gotten
us any closer to getting those hostages released.
But luckily for both sides, the United States has been working tirelessly since
then towards, well, I'll let our former president explain.
For weeks, I've been advocating to pause in the fighting.
You know, I've been working tirelessly.
Relentlessly focused.
I've been working nonstop.
I'm engaged in this day and night.
We're working around the clock.
We are closer than we were meant to.
We're very close.
We're close.
We're close.
I get ice cream once.
He's on these fire all the time.
Now, if you don't mind, I'm seeing what's going on
over there, and it's making me a little bit hungry.
I think I'm going to grab myself in the sun myself.
I just shot ice cream into my eye.
Ice cream is, I give the president credit, very dangerous treat.
I'm going to take a big bite of my ice cream cone as I find out how our ceasefire efforts are paying off.
Israel launching an all-out assault on Hezbollah and Lebanon over the weekend.
So worth it. Honestly, for a ceasefire in Gaza and the f***ing leg...
I can't believe it. Notorious anti-Semi-Johnster were doing it again.
The point was we're going to downgrade Hamas, we're going to attack the terrorists there,
we're going to get the hostages home.
What did Lebanon do?
No country can accept the wanton rocketing of its cities.
We can't accept it either.
But you've also been wanton rocketing.
What kind of rocketing are you doing in Gaza, if not wanting?
That's how little criticism they've made.
By the way, Lebanon is also a country.
makes you think they're going to accept your rocketing or whatever other James Bond shit
you've been up to. Thousands of wireless pagers simultaneously exploding across Lebanon. Exploding
pagers. Ah, Lebanon expected Israel to attack from the south, but instead they attacked from
the 1980s. What? You know what Lebanon should do? Yeah! They don't got any quarters. By
By the way, quick message for our viewers who are under, let's say, 45.
This is a pager, let me just come over here, this is a pager, I'm going to put it over here.
I don't exactly love the commentary so far because I feel like he's making light of,
I mean he's a comedian, his job is to make light of like really horrifying events,
but it almost feels like he doesn't calculate the severity of Israel's actions because
it is a fucking act of terror which ended up killing like two kids so here not
really sure where we bought those from so you see there was a time back in the
olden days when we didn't have cell phones but still wanted to buy drugs
your local neighborhood dealer on his pager what and then he would come over
and say something like are you gonna smoke all of this yourself and then you
would say do you want to come in and the next thing you know you're driving him
disconnected I don't think he cracked jokes about October 7
man you don't crack jokes about 9-11 you don't crack jokes about October 7
why is he cracking jokes when it's like Lebanese people that are being
exploded. Bro, shut up, shut the fuck up and watch the show. I mean, it's just, I hope he
turns it around. I'm just saying that like, so far, it's just like, calm down.
The point is, stay in school. Israel remotely exploded all of Hezbollah's pagers and walkie-talkies,
which is why going forward, Hezbollah will limit its communications to the message
boards on nudeafrica.com because no one will ever find out the things that you post on
nudeafrica.com under the username I am Mark Robertson, candidate for North Carolina, Governor
186. No one will find out. We know the Americans have been working tirelessly on a cease-fire
That's it? That's what he got on the pager explosions? Okay, cool. I mean, that sucks.
The person who was telling me to shut the fuck up, suck my dick.
To countless hours and all 31 Baskin Robbins flavors, apparently.
But this new conflagration points to another outcome the United States has been very much trying to avoid.
From day one, since October 7th, it's been one of our primary objectives to prevent the conflict from escalating from spreading in other places.
places. Prevent an escalation or widening or deepening of this conflict. We have been
laser focused on trying to prevent that wider war since October 7th. I don't think we need
a wider war in the Middle East. That's not what I'm looking for. Why would you be looking
for that? You know what I'd love? A wider war in the Middle East. This is why the
New York Times' coverage on the matter is so fucking damaging because it gives a permission
structure to liberals to laugh about an issue that is like objectively inhumane, a direct
act of terror. Okay. That's why even someone like John Stewart who has significantly better
opinions on issues like this will crack jokes like in a careless manner, which dulls the
the severity of the actions taken,
which kind of whitewashes the horrifying acts of terror.
It's just fucked up, speaking to the mic, little bro.
I don't know why I'm really fucking annoyed
with chatters today.
I just, I feel like there's a bunch of like
really annoying fucking people in the chat.
Well, now that a wider war has broken out
in the Middle East, this is President Biden
yesterday, talking about what we're going to do about it.
We're going to stand and defend the wider war for Greece.
Why does this war, before we call it a wider war,
without Turkey, it's still technically in the margins?
Look.
As far as I'm concerned, it's not a wide war,
until it includes Mongolian archers.
If this isn't the wider war, then what is this?
It continues to be a very dangerous situation,
a very difficult situation, a very difficult volatile situation, and the situation could
escalate at any moment.
Oh, I'm sorry, okay, so it's not a war, it's a volatile situation ship.
A friends with bomb-a-fits, if you will.
What if you really want to experience the full cognitive dissonance and language calisthenics
that have to be deployed to describe the Middle East
over the last, I don't know, four, five, six, 10,000 years.
How we're describing what I give you,
the golden soundbite brought down from Sinai
to explain how f***ing convoluted this has to be.
What the Israeli government is saying
and the Biden administration is in many ways
Subscribe to this idea is the escalation through escalation or as that is sometimes called
Deescalation through been hear yourself my god the
Deescalation through escalation that phrase is wherever it's right out of hold on a second. Let me see if I can
Oh, it's not in there.
Let me see if I can find out.
Oh, my God.
John, that cat has wreaked havoc on your bachelor lifestyle.
Although I do take issue with one of Garfield's bromides.
I happen to love Mondays.
It's the start and end.
There's no issue with Megan Jones, Jeff.
I do it all the all the time I
Do it on a daily fucking basis?
in a lot of the
And a lot of the horrifying segments of reality that I cover I literally I
Covered this exact same story and I cracked jokes in between
It's just that I guess the direction of the jokes oftentimes
Or who I made
Who I make the butt of the jokes oftentimes is?
is the Israeli government you can make jokes you can make jokes about the
America's the American role in this process you can make jokes about the
Israeli government in this process you can even make jokes about the Lebanese
population it just has to be like I don't know somewhat tasteful and not
tone deaf when you are making a joke about innocent people being blown to
fucking bids. It just comes across a little callous end of every work week.
Well, I hear Fridays are nice.
But here's the worst part. The country that's providing all the bombs to the
Middle East, or I guess now we have to call the bombs escalators
seems to have no idea when these bombs are going to be used. We were not
notified by the Israelis about their strike or the intended target of their strike.
First, this is something we were not aware of or involved in.
The United States did not know about, nor was it involved in, these incidents.
Oh, you're not telling me anything, huh?
Have you checked your pager?
I mean, my God, there have to be other ways of achieving de-escalation without all this
respectful exchange of missiles.
Historically, that part is generally followed by years of sorrow and bloodshed.
And we know there have been opportunities for de-escalation, but Netanyahu did not seem
particularly interested in it.
Oh my God, I've criticized Netanyahu.
What have I done?
Go ahead.
The people who are criticizing the Prime Minister, it is shameful, it is pathetic.
We should be standing shoulder to shoulder with our strongest ally in the Middle East
instead of launching this criticism.
They criticize them for going too far, constantly, and that gives Hamas comfort.
Criticism of the war is shameful, and it gives comfort to Hamas.
You know who might be surprised to hear that?
The Israelis, who are unbelievably critical of the war and Netanyahu.
What you're going to say now, my f*****g, you heard what he said.
He said, yeah, dude, Israeli fucking hate Benjamin Nenio's popularity is only grown
post October 7 and has increased tremendously since the incursions into Lebanon.
Yeah.
It's so funny to point to Benny Gantz, by the way, as a guy who hates Benjamin Nenio
and it's like, that was our guy that was supposed to be the leader of his,
You know that was the guy that we were positioning on our liberal Zionist off-ramp that we were setting up
Except what happened to that off-ramp? He fucking left the coalition. He left the governing coalition in disgrace
and
Benjamin Nenyea who was literally fucking
Benjamin Nenyea was literally more popular than he has been post October 7
Because he opened a new front in the war by the way just so you understand
Does anyone have a Google translate on what he said?
The prime minister did not look the public in the eye and tell the truth, that he won't
bring the hostages alive.
It's a total failure.
This is my government.
No strategy, no vision.
He is trying to do everything to prevent a deal.
He doesn't have any intent to end this war.
Netanyahu is lying as he believes.
What anti-government?
to do everything to prevent a deal?
He don't have any intent to end this war.
Netanyahu is lying as he believes.
What anti-Semites?
The former prime minister of Israel and defense minister are.
But still, people are going to see this segment and go,
all right, maybe Israel isn't perfect.
But criticizing them feeds the fire.
Don't you worry about anti-Semitism?
And to that I say, no, I believe anti-Semitism will be fine, not for nothing from what I've
experienced.
It's very resilient.
And it's not really tied to any event or war or activity or reality.
For God's sakes, Kanye thought we ruined his indeed his deal, we just need orthotics.
That's all.
Anti-Semitism will survive this war.
like it survived all wars going back to the brave Hebrews at Masada.
That was the one fucking good joke that he made.
See, rabbi?
I was paying attention to these.
Maybe the blame the Jews from the Black Death to the Spanish Inquisition to the Space Lasers
will all go away if Israel does right.
And peace will reign.
And people will no longer baselessly and conveniently blame the Jews when things
don't work out exactly the same.
with this argument is that he's obviously right, but anti-Semitism is irrelevant to the actions
of Israel in terms of it like always being a major issue, being at the heart of like
all fascist movements. The problem, however, is that Israel's actions and more so than
Israel's actions, but like the justifications for Israel's actions being tied back to
Judaism, and also on top of that the defense of Israel's actions against like valid criticism
being tied back to a cynical deployment of anti-Semitism as a shield, does, especially
when communicated through every fucking orifice of media, by everyone in positions of power,
does make it incredibly easy for the uninitiated person with a little bit of like unexamined
anti-semitic opinions that are just like left out there in the dark to completely adopt the
position that Jews control the media. That's it. That's literally it. Israel blows up a school,
says we're doing this for Judaism, and all Jews love us, and then Jake Tapper goes on
television and says, if you criticize Israel blowing up a school you're anti-semitic because
all Jews love Israel, and all Jews love what Israel is doing, then yeah, what is a fucking,
What is a guy in our Kansas supposed to think what he's never met a Jewish person before the only
thing he knows about Jews is Seinfeld okay in his mind he's like I see a lot of Jewish people who
are rich what what is the I mean what do you what what is he supposed to think he's never thought
about these issues he's heard you know Jews are very good with money okay he's probably even
even heard Jews control the media before. Maybe he didn't put a lot of thought or effort into
understanding what that means and why it's incorrect.
But when that guy turns on television and hears this from every fucking news outlet,
what is he supposed to think? Where is his casual anti-semitism supposed to go? It's
gonna become full-blown anti-semitism. The amount of people I'm willing to fucking
bet, the amount of people, have you fact-checked who owns every meat, you see? And there's
people doing that right now in the chat if you fact check who owns every major media outlet dude if
you think it's jews and you also think that there is a monolithic force that dictates that like
jews operate on the the boundaries of israel and defending israel's violent actions you are
anti-semitic and fucking stupid the major people that own media outlets are not jews by the way
it's not what is so yes there are so many wasps okay there are it's mostly wasps that own
most of and control most of the important vectors of power but it does not matter because
they're not operating in a monolithic understanding beyond being capital owners okay that's it
Zionism across the board and the way that it has turned out these results are a byproduct
of social conditioning. Okay, there are far more evangelical Zionists that are rabid supporters
of Israel than there are Zionist Jews. Okay, there are more evangelical, rabid evangelical
Zionist, then there are Jews across the board. Okay, this is why I routinely repeat the correct
statement, the true fact that if magically tomorrow every single American Jew universally
condemned the state of Israel, said it's an apartheid, said that they no longer recognize
what it once was, doesn't mean that a higher percent of evangelicals are, you are wrong.
You are literally wrong, okay?
The Jewish support for the state of Israel is not as black and white as you think it
is.
A lot of that is never perfectly defined.
Why is it never perfectly defined?
Because institutions that are supposed to deal with anti-Semitism want to maintain
the idea that Israel is a Jewish ethno-state and that's good and all Jews like it the way it is
and all Jews want to defend it. Okay? So you never get like a full-blown accurate,
you never get full-blown accurate analysis on the subject matter. Okay? But if you think that
a higher percentage of Jews are pro-Israel with the same severity, you can look at the numbers.
Who gives more money to the state of Israel specifically the settler projects if you think Jews make up a higher percentage of the donations or if you think Jews are donating more money to Israel than evangelical Christians, you are wrong.
okay it's funny because even the inception of Israel in the
exception of Israel under the Balfour Declaration Lord Balfour was an anti-
Semitic person but he was motivated by Christian Zionists and the one motherfucker
that literally said no dog we shouldn't ship all the Jews to Israel or not
Israel at the time British Mandate Palestine was a Jewish guy the one
One fucking guy who openly spoke out against it was a Jew!
Christian Zionism predated Jewish Zionism.
Most Jews in America, in spite of their insane amounts of, insane amounts of social conditioning
they get early on, have damn near identical perspectives on the maintenance of the state
of Israel as everybody else. Okay? That's it. That is just the truth. When you look at it
by demographics, when you break it down by demographics, young Jews under the age of 35,
many of which are in here as well, young Jews under the age of 35, and their opinion on
Israel is damn near identical to every other demographic under the age of 35 what it was
a Jewish doctor sounding like Kanye what because I'm saying because I'm speaking to the anti
Semitic canard that all Jews are monolithic in their understanding of any issue let alone
fucking Israel Israel's taking urgent steps to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict
in front with his bullet conflict dog bait they're looking for a diplomatic solution to the problem
that they started with the fuck you also see that most Jewish people in the US but also in general
are generally uninformed about what's happening in Gaza and rather are just defending the state of
Israel um I mean sure that's part of it if they watch only mainstream media then yes their
opinion is going to be their opinion is going to be similar to your Christian dad you know
I mean it's just the same shit the way they want them to this is the most
important election in the history of the United States not that I call this as a
prediction but in my opinion the Jewish people would have a lot to do with a
loss if I'm at 40% like this speech was actually really informative like his
entire his entire anti-Semitism speech at the anti-Semitism seminar was
actually quite informative and not just because of what he said or what he didn't say but also
because of the way that the media covered it like a lot of people hyper focused on him saying this
which is objectively stupid right but many people did not talk about all the other things that he
said the many instances where he basically defended miriam adelson said i gave shelled in and miriam
everything they wanted. Like pure graph. Okay. Pure fucking graph across the board. He brought
up Mary Maddelson by name because of Mary Maddelson's donations. And it's odd that mainstream
media did not even cover that at all. Normally, if Donald Trump, if Donald Trump was, you
You know, loving this hard about any other issue, the media would make mincemeat out
of that shit.
He literally personally said he gave Golan Heights to Israel because he got money from
Sheldon Adelson.
I'm going to try to find this thing, hold on.
Michael Treesey, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Michael Treesey clipped it, and
then Felix actually quote retweeted it, and I just want to show you that clip
again. Yeah, it's deeply anti-Semitic to accept that this
happened.
Just as I promised, I recognized Israel's eternal capital and
opened the American Embassy in Jerusalem. Jerusalem became the
capital. I also recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan
Heights. You know, Miriam and Sheldon would come into the
White House, probably almost more than anybody outside of people that worked there, and they
were always after.
And as soon as I gave them something, always for Israel, as soon as I'd give them something,
they'd want something else.
I said, give me a couple of weeks, will you play?
But I gave them the Golan Heights, and they never even asked for it.
You know, for 72 years, they'd been trying to do the Golan Heights, right?
And even Sheldon didn't have the nerve.
But I said, you know what?
I said to David Friedman, give me a quick lesson,
like five minutes or less on the Golan Heights.
And he did.
And I said, let's do it.
We got it done in about 15 minutes, right?
Michael Treas says, take note of which Trump comments
provoke controversy and which don't.
Trump said this week that he gave Golan Heights
to Sheldon and Mary Maddison, his top funders,
who came to the White House almost more than anybody,
not a peep about this brazen admission of graph.
Now, one must ask the fucking question,
why they didn't cover this aspect of the story,
or why, why they didn't even talk about Donald Trump's, I guess, objectively correct statements
in terms of like anti-Semitism rising in college campuses because they believe it too and they
agree with it.
That's why.
Okay.
And the great question exactly, the real follow up to that is because Biden did nothing
to undo it.
Why would he do that?
Because Biden is also an ultra Zionist.
The entire time he kept saying, I gave everything you want, okay, I gave everything you want
to you Jews, why won't you vote for me?
You must be cursed.
That's what he said, okay?
Now obviously from my perspective that is an utterly insane and deeply anti-Semitic
thing to say and to think, right?
not because of the You-Jews part, but because it comes with the underlying false notion that
all Jews give a shit about in America is Israel. Okay? Yeah, he said you must, you have a curse.
Okay? It is the underlying premise there is that Jews are a monolithic force that exclusively
cares about Israel and nothing else. When making their electoral decisions, this is
what they care about. Okay. Now, the hilarious side of this and the reason why the media doesn't
really cover that that much is because they also repeat this false notion but in a woke
way. Every time you say 90% of Jews are Zionist, they love Israel, all they care about is
Israel. That's the only thing that motivates them. We can't make a decision on Israel because
then Jews won't vote for Kamala Harris. Like all this shit is just woke anti-Semitism.
Okay? It is the woke side saying the exact same thing that the Nazis say. It is objectively
false. Okay? It is not correct. It is incorrect. I'm going to give a fuck what your background
You could be a Jewish person telling me this shit. I don't give a fuck. I will not agree
That 90% of Jews believe that like what Israel is doing is right
Because I on like whoever is saying that okay recognize how deeply of an anti-semitic sentiment that is
Okay
Maybe in the heat of the moment, you might forget what Israel is doing or the way that people analyze
What Israel is doing because they can see the fucking atrocities
but when you come out as a defensive posture and slap on Judaism in
Defense of the state of Israel. Okay. Well, sorry, but you are creating more anti-Semitism. It's just the truth
That's the reason why motherfuckers don't
They don't actually talk about Donald Trump's, you know, additional graph or all of his statements
about like anti-Semitism rising in the country, right?
The reason why they don't talk about it is because they also agree with the underlying
premise, even if they don't actually agree or believe it, they say it anyway because
they think it is a good deployment.
It is a good way to defend Israel's actions and to silence the naysayers by simply claiming you are anti-Semitic.
It is ridiculous.
Barbara Kazardisansi and MWM Dragon is named through the mud on their live.
I don't know who MWM is.
Why are people constantly coming in here to be like, bro?
Like, like Wesley Bucksteak said, you're a fucking doo-doo head.
Like, I genuinely have no fucking clue what you're talking about, and honestly, I don't
care, you know?
And neither should you.
I just don't give a fuck.
Dog, you don't understand.
You have to address this, bro.
Fyla taught told told everybody that you fucking you suck like you suck big time, dude
You have to address it bro. I wouldn't take it on God. I wouldn't take it, bro
I would not bro. I don't care. I don't care
Focus on what actually fuck a matters. Okay, like the top of the hour outbreak which comes at the top of every hour
if you no longer want to see
those ads
then you have to subscribe which you can do for six dollars or for free with a
twitch prime here's the three man break now the 90% of Jews are Zionist number
is based around a fucking falsehood okay it is the constantly changing
definition of Zionism it is directly related to the constantly changing
definition definition of Zionism in a defensive posture Zionism can be can
mean anything okay there is no like one singular definition that everyone can get together and
agree on for some fucking weird reason but the other reason is that the other number I remember
reading an article on this but like it's just like a fucking made-up poll it's not like a real
fucking poll but it can't it keeps getting repeated over and over and over again in media if
people say it all the time because they think it's a great way to fucking be like well when
you say Zionist you mean Jew. First of all in the grand scheme of things just by the numbers
okay just by the fucking numbers. If you personally think that there are more Jewish Zionist than
there are evangelical Zionists you're just fucking wrong and delusional and stupid
okay. Zionism is primarily in this country defended by and logistically supported by
American Christians, Kofi, Christians United for Israel, is the largest
Donator to West Bank Operations. Kofi, Christians United for Israel,
DUFI. In terms of the defensive posture that Americans represent and believe
about Israel, Jews are no different than anybody else in the country.
Okay? That's it. There is a lot of unconditional loyalty and support for the state of Israel
and this goddamn nation, some of which is religious justifications, others are because
they are fighting against our holy enemies, the Arabs, the Muslims, and many are simply
remnants of a stated, deliberate concerted effort to engage in social conditioning, especially
escalated in my opinion after apartheid South Africa perished when Israel, apartheid South
Africa's greatest ally, learned all of the lessons of what not to do, and also of what
to do.
They were in, they were aligned with the apartheid South Africa.
They watched apartheid South Africa go away and they were like, oh shit, that is a mistake.
We will not repeat.
Okay.
Marcellus Williams.
Yes.
I covered it already earlier for an hour plus.
And I told you already that it will most likely go through.
court did not stop it and the governor also refused to stop it.
Marcel Williams' last statement reads, all praise be to Allah in every situation.
These were his last words.
Marcel's Williams was an innocent man and the state knew of his innocence.
The prosecutor's office maintained his innocence after the court proceedings.
came out and said that they made the wrong decision. DNA evidence exonerated him and in
spite of the critical amount of people petitioning the governor's office to put a stay on the
execution, the governor yesterday said that he would not do so. In the last moments, they
They went to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court also said that they would not stop the
execution.
Yes, he was also pro-Palestine as well.
Governor has blood on his hands now.
I mean, the governor has had blood on his hands.
What's their reasoning?
Because they're fucking racist.
Okay?
That's it.
The American criminal justice system is one that deliberately churns out the exact
same results that America had under chattel slavery. As a matter of fact, the 13th Amendment,
which is supposed to abolish slavery, actually simply codifies it and turns it into a mechanism
of the state, a mechanism that we use to this day, even beyond the heinous nature of the
private for-profit prison system, which is unimaginably cruel. Like, it's a ridiculous
statement, we already have, we have full-blown slavery as a method of punishment in this
country. Consistently underserved the black population, refused to allow them to participate
in the regular economic improvement that everyone else gets to participate in, leave
their communities, segregate their communities, and leave those segregated communities underserved
and then criminalize their existence every step of the way, put them in the system early on as children,
okay, and then you can enslave them in the exact same way that this country once famously openly and legally did.
That's it. I think that is the real reason why a lot of the draconian attitudes that people demonstrate, a
lot of the draconian attitudes that people demonstrate when talking about like crime and punishment,
And I think it stems from, I think it stems from like a defense of the white supremacist
nature of the criminal justice system.
And even, and black people do this too, and white people who think they are anti-racist
do this too, there are plenty of progressive people who do this.
They defend capital punishment.
They defend the gruesome ways in which we seek out vengeance against those who
have done wrong.
And I think the actual purpose of that draconian culture is to justify a white supremacist institution
like our criminal justice system, okay?
And people who otherwise are anti-white supremacy, but are pro-draconian punishments, are actually
simply reasserting that position.
simply defending that position without even recognizing it without seeing the contradiction
in saying that you are an anti-racist.
Capital punishment is not really vengeance.
It absolutely is.
It is a barbaric method of vengeance.
How do we know he's innocent?
I mean, dude, come on, man.
Come on, dude.
Shut the fuck up.
Oh my God.
Like the only thing tying him to the crime was two people that wanted both Leni, one person
that wanted Leni and C and had every reason to lie and another person that wanted $10,000
in rewards.
They openly fucking said that by the way.
There was no evidence.
There was only evidence that even if he wasn't even if he wasn't 100% guilty, even
Even if he was like 90% guilty, it still means that the state should not be able to execute
him.
But in this circumstance, we know he was 100% innocent and you're still trying to fucking
defend it.
Because you're a giant piece of shit dude, you are a powerless fucking loser and the
only thing that makes you feel like you have something in your life is when you
are cruel to others.
When the state enforces is unjust ways and you defend it, it makes you feel powerful.
though you have an ownership stake in this. You don't. You are nothing. You're a fucking
peon. And you feel that every day in your life, you feel that in this very moment when
you bootlick that state. It is from your powerlessness that comes this attitude, this need to feel
powerful. I don't have any power, but at least someone has it worse than me. That's
it. That's the only reason why dumb fucks with globe emojis in their fucking descriptions
like salivate at the prospect of bombing Yemen, okay?
Oh, they gon' learn today why we don't have healthcare.
It's like, dude, you literally just admitted
you don't have healthcare.
You're like this, this state that you are defending
is actively killing you, okay?
It openly demonstrates every single day
that it does not have your best interest at heart
and you are such a cucked fucking loser
that you look to people who are on the receiving end
of American imperialism getting bombed mercilessly once again when being bombed by the vassals
of said imperial state is all they've known their whole lives and you say hey at least
I'm not in Yemen tell the lowest white man that he is higher than the highest black man
and you can run his pockets and rob him blind no it wasn't Malcolm X that said that lbj
As the left is how do you constantly read things like this and still look for a hopeful
future I try every day but it gets harder, it's fine, it's, they'll even empty his pockets
for you, exactly.
Listen.
Things are always awful and things will remain awful.
What you can focus on is marginal changes that you can make in your life and in the
lives of others around you and always keep putting your best foot forward, that's
it.
Okay?
Look at human history things have always gotten better slowly not necessarily they haven't gotten better on their own
They've gotten better because there are people like yourselves out there who in spite of
In spite of everything in society telling you this shit's never gonna get better and everything is awful and will forever be awful
people still fight
People still fight for these causes
We'll still fight for what is right
That's pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.
That's why I keep repeating the same talking points forever.
One, because I'm a stubborn piece of shit.
And two, because I know that if I can change the mind of one person,
two people, or ten people, or a thousand people, and then they go around and change the minds of others,
then I've done my job.
So for every fucking uncharitable dipshit who comes in here to fling shit in the face of horrifying realities of American governance, of American domination, whether it be a justification for the white supremacist nature of our criminal justice system,
In an instance where there is like an abject, like an abject horror, a genuinely cruel moment,
that they are still defending, okay? I know that my statements will reach at least one person.
I know that my statements will change the minds of at least one person, change the heart of at
least one person, okay? And if I can make someone be marginally less reactionary on
any number of issues I speak to, then I've done my job. Once again, I'm going to repeat
this statement that I say all the time, whenever we talk about criminal justice reform.
And leftist start chirping at me and say, no, but we need to execute this person. We need
to execute that person. Okay, what if, what if it was your sister or your mother that
was horrifically stabbed. Bet you'd sing a different tune then. Well, there's a reason
why you don't sit on the fucking jury if you are directly involved with the crime, you know?
And that's a, there's a good reason for it. Okay. Because when you're robbing someone
of their freedom, that examination must be unemotional. Okay, it must be cold and
calculated and if you do not have the capacity to demonstrate rational behavior in that circumstance
for understandable reasons like if you are the family members of the victim then yes
of course it should be left up to a jury of your peers.
In spite of the fucking boop holes that exist that try to stack the deck against those
who have been declared branded criminals. There are obviously material inequalities at play here.
There's mental health complications. There's the color of your skin and attitudes towards certain
races. But ultimately, justice is not about vengeance. Okay? Justice is not about vengeance.
It's not about how you feel in that moment. It's about making sure that there are people
who will never do that that are people that have done heinous horrific wrongs that can be rehabilitated
and reintegrated into society adequately. Okay? And in many instances, like the one that we just
saw with Marcellus Williams, the injustice is often issued by the state when they execute a man
who was innocent, who never committed a crime, and they just did it anyway. Get to another
glaringly obvious hypocrisy in the way that Muslims and Palestinians are viewed by all
of our institution and how easy it is and how expected it is that you can just simply
lie about a Muslim woman, a Palestinian woman, even if they are a motherfucking Democratic
party politician, a Congresswoman, Michigan Attorney General falsely calls Representative
Rashid Tlaib an anti-Semite.
The spring anti-Israel activists took over part of the main thoroughfare at the University
of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Take a listen.
It's scary, it's terrifying, they've assigned it to the long-lived anti-fada.
Yeah, it's so scary that I'm wearing my fucking dog tag, my IDF dog tag, on campus.
Maybe it's not so scary.
Anytime I see that shit I'm like, bro listen, listen, dog, listen.
To me, that is worse than wearing a fucking Hamas had been.
I know that is not the same in the way that it's analyzed by American society, but that
is precisely what it is.
Okay.
The star of David and IDF dog tag.
Yeah, dude, because I'm a fucking insane anti-Semite that I'm looking at this star of David and
calling it a dog tag and not the IDF dog tag that's in front of the fucking star of David.
Maybe I just know more than you.
Okay.
Have you ever considered that?
Have you ever factored that into your equation before jumping to fucking conclusions
who's like trying to immediately bait some kind of like perceived anti-semitism out of
me.
That's a goddamn swastika he's wearing on his fucking chest, that IDF dog tag, okay?
Not the star of David.
I'm so scared.
What this little broccoli hair dipshit is doing in this fucking zoomer cut, broccoli
cut dipshit is doing here, okay?
Is 100% no different than if he had a fucking swastika.
You got the same haircut I know shut up on God bruh on God for real anti-semitism is
a big problem on these college campuses on God he's so scared bro look at him look at
how scared he is bro for real I can feel the fear in his eyes dude look I'm telling
you right now right up this is ironically something that the media also escalated in
2016 you would have motherfuckers that are straight-up Nazis be like I have no diversity of opinion on college campuses and
The media would literally elevate them to prominence all the fucking time
All the goddamn time and it was so fucking frustrating
Okay, he's so scared. He's standing right by the encampment rocking the fucking goddamn idea of dog tag to
terrified. I mean terrified. They used to do this shit all the goddamn time in 2016. Nazis
would do this. They'd be like, oh, well, I just have different opinions. What are those
different opinions that fucking black people shouldn't go to the same school as white
people? That was a different opinion you had. Okay. And people were obviously understandably
bullying you for it. Same goes for this fucking dipshit. Okay. If you're such a
gross dickhead that you're rocking a fucking IDF dog tag on college campus and people go hey man
that's kind of fucked up you're a little bit of a piece of shit aren't you and they go whoa are you
saying that because i'm a jew well then you're a fucking asshole okay goofy motherfucker oh man
what's happening here i can't believe it and that's just you know a call back from the second
like an anti-fada and not a comfortable feeling.
When I woke up this morning, I went to walk.
Oh, my comfort, my comfort in my Michigan college campus
is significantly more important
than the fundamental principle
behind the First Amendment right to, you know, free protest.
If you're hurting my comfies,
if you're hurting my fee fees,
you shouldn't be able to protest America's
Unimaginable loyalty to the fucking death and destruction that Israel is doing in Gaza.
You can't protest that.
It's hurting my feelings.
No!
Fuck the class.
It was the first time this semester.
I had to walk around the dyag.
No, you had to walk around to go to class.
No, dude.
Fuck, man.
Yo, we should kill extra Palestinian children for that one.
No!
I wanted to run around.
I wanted to run around and then when I was going to class, I had to walk around the encampment
and they were saying that what Israel is doing is genocide and it hurt my feelings because
I do think Israel is doing a genocide but I like it.
It's really messed up.
They kept saying that my IDF dog tag was me firmly being committed to bloodshed,
which is true.
got more heated at different times throughout the year and right now eleven
participants yet ethnic intimidation results of a police officer assault of a
police officer resisting arrest misdemeanor trespass destruction of
personal property and disturbing the peace
it's fucking bullshit
and the michigan attorney general could suck my cock okay fuck her
or literally
prosecuting
student protesters
dumbass
some of the protest some of them students some of them not
are being prosecuted.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's office alleges
among the crimes committed during the 30-day takeover
of the school are, quote,
are ethnic intimidation and assault of a police officer
resisting arrest, misdemeanor trespass,
destruction of personal property, and disturbing the peace.
Now, when those charges were announced a few days ago,
Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib of Michigan
said that the charges were, quote, frivolous.
Even fucking New York didn't do that, bro.
That's what's even crazier about this being in Michigan.
when you're the democratic attorney general of the democratic state of michigan
which is run by a democrat that is relatively popular
a state that is comprised of a shit ton of muslims and arabs okay
you taking this position is insane okay
this shit happens in texas
you're like okay
it's still fucked up it's still you know unimaginably cruel and and uh...
the layering the obvious hypocrisy
but like it's texas
you know what i mean
it's wild
and i do believe it's a political statement
for her to capitulate
pressure
less and a quote shameful attack on students rights and then congressman to
leave said quote it seems that the attorney general decided if the issue
was palestine she was going to
imagine a black people embrace like this every time we said we were attacked
by the bullshit
yet the differences
like black people are actually fucking uh... attacked and intimidated
and also institutions do defend that process
institutions actually churn out that process
it is very different than the way anti-semitism festers in society and
what that person is using as like
an anti-semitic attack
what that person is talking about does not even correspond to the fucking
historic precedent
okay in terms of anti-semitism
This isn't to say anti-Semitism does not exist.
I'm not saying that at all.
Of course it does.
But that's not how anti-Semitism manifests.
Like, black people aren't complaining.
This is, that's why it's more similar
to like a straight up Nazi being like,
or a straight up fucking conservative being like,
oh, they're attacking Christians.
They're attacking me because I'm a Christian male,
you know?
Like what the fuck are you talking about?
your position as a Zionist is literally adopted by the American State Department. It is right
up the current position. That's why the pro-Israel protests were hilarious. It's like, what are
you protesting? More dead children? Like they're going to give that for you. They're going
to give that to you no matter what. Even if you protest, if you don't protest, it's
going to happen. Okay. It is already the status quo. That's why it's so laughable
when people try to be like, yeah, it's a really brave position to come out and be in support
of Israel on mainstream media. Like, wow, dude, thank you for your brave and bold take. What's
next? Saying that you're pro-American military? Another bold take, huh?
Treated differently. And that alone speaks volumes about possible biases within the
agency she runs unquote. Now, that comment left some in Michigan, including Attorney
General Nestle with the impression that Congresswoman Tlaib was accusing Nestle, who was Jewish,
with letting her religion affect her decision to prosecute, especially given the bipartisan
vote in Congress last November to censure Congresswoman Tlaib for her comments about
Israel.
That's part of the context here.
We asked Congresswoman Tlaib to come on the show today to clarify.
She did not respond to our request.
We asked her office to clarify what bias does Nestle have, or her office, and
they did not give us an answer.
Yeah, by the way, they didn't do that
because you lied about it yesterday.
And today you were forced to basically do a subtle apology,
which Dana Bash also gave a clarification on.
Dana Bash yesterday, anti-Semitism everywhere
comes from both ends of the political spectrum
and Rashida Tlaib participated in this.
Dana Bash today.
A clarification on a story we brought you yesterday
concerning Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib's comments
attacking a decision by Michigan Attorney General.
For the record,
for the record ain't nobody read the goddamn interview.
I did, okay?
Another apology came here, but not even an apology
because these fucking people are not people
with any dignity, okay?
So of course they're not fucking apologizing.
One, Governor Whitman, we're near Attorney General
prosecutes people for violating the law,
harassing Jews and attacking police officers.
It's in the interest of public safety.
When a Congresswoman accused the Attorney General
prosecuting process simply because she's Jewish, it's biased.
Saying you want to make sure that the students are safe on our campuses is just words.
If you are not willing to use your bully public to speak out unequivocally on anti-Semitism
and support, holding people accountable for violating the law when it affects Jews.
So as you already know, Jonathan Greenblatt straight up wants to fucking kill anti-Zionists,
okay?
Straight up.
He wants them en masse, he wants them in jail, and he wants them to never be able
to fucking speak again.
I am not even a little bit exaggerating on this. He straight up has openly been like you
have to unmask them. You have to unmask them. And as the leader of the apartheid defense
league, he has been able to get away with a lot of his wishes. He gets a shit ton of
media time. He goes on MSNBC all the time. He goes on CNN all the time. He has seen
as the foremost authority on anti-Semitism. And what he does with that level of authority
and influence is simply defend Israel. Okay. That's why you rarely ever hear about him chirping
about right wing anti, right wing anti semites. Sometimes they'll talk about it only to basically
maintain a shred of legitimacy as though he does care about anti Semitism, but it'll
never do that if someone is a pro Zionist anti Semite. Okay. You will never hear.
You will never hear Jonathan Greenblatt shit on someone with the same fucking severity.
If you are on the other hand an anti-Zionist Jew, he has all the smoke for you.
Okay?
If you're an anti-Zionist Jew, you need to go to jail.
You need to go jail yesterday.
If you die in jail, I do not care.
That's his perspective.
He has so much more anger and resentment towards anti-Zionist Jews as the head of
the ADL than he does for anti-Semitic Israel defenders.
OK?
Just understand that.
Dana Nestle to bring charges against pro-Palestinian
protesters at the University of Michigan
to leave accused Nestle of, quote, biases.
Here's to leave full quote to the Detroit Metro Times.
It seems that the attorney general
decided if the issue was Palestine,
she was going to treat it differently.
And that alone speaks volumes about possible.
It's so funny that they refuse to fucking like show the full context even now, even in their clarification, okay?
She, like, even this is not the fucking full quote, okay?
It is so goddamn sickening that the media is doing this.
In any other circumstance, if this level of slander was being done to a prominent white man in the Republican party,
There is a media infrastructure that would pounce on CNN.
This would be wall-to-wall coverage on Fox News, okay?
Straight up.
But when you're Palestinian, nobody defends you.
When you're Arab, nobody defends you.
When you're Muslim, nobody defends you.
The Democratic Party won't defend you.
And the institutions that are supposed to correctly and accurately report on the truth
will drop the ball and not even drop the ball, but like deliberately lie about you.
Is this happened time and time again? Okay.
This happened with it. Honomar quite a bit and it happened with Keith Ellison.
It happened with and it happened with Rashid to leave in the past.
It is happening with her again. I mean, yeah,
he still glazed Donald Trump while giving tepid criticisms,
tepid condemnation of Trump's remarks because Trump is,
at the end of the day, very good for Israel.
Jonathan Greenblatt cares about that more than anything else. Okay. He does not care
about anti-Semitism. And this is not an accusation that I'm launching against someone without
any evidence whatsoever. Okay. Straight up, time and time again, Jonathan Greenblatt and
the ADL has proven that their name is the apartheid defense league. Okay. Not the
anti-deformation league, but the apartheid defense league. The former president of
and that guy wasn't exactly nice either.
The biases within the agency she runs.
To leave did not reference Nestle's Jewish identity.
Her office has not responded to our request for clarity.
Her allies insist that's not what she meant.
But Nestle still says she believes it is anti-Semitic
and repeated on CNN yesterday that quote.
Yeah, dude.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
I know.
Yeah, dude. Yeah, I know. I know. I know. If you ever, if you ever criticize a person and then you later find out that they're Jewish, you're anti-Semite. Okay. Straight up.
You know, God forbid. Oh no. Like, it don't matter. It don't matter what the actions are. You can never call for someone's bias in this situation.
God forbid. Oh my god. You find out that they're Jewish after whole shit, dude
Well, I guess you've done an anti-semitism get the fuck out of here, dude
Yeah, this is some Jews are tired ass shit. I know
except in the aftermath of October 7 and the
12 months of
Genocide that took place. I thought that maybe people will move towards a more moderate position on these issues and it turns out nope
So, every motherfucker in media in prominent roles have basically taken the free parking
of scares me position now.
Since I posed it below, Governor Whitmer has made clear such suggestions of bias that are
wrong and we thank her for her comments.
Additionally, I learned that initial news reports contain an error in the specifics
of the Congresswoman's remarks for full comment and its implications are detailed in the
story.
Why are you going to Jewishinsider.com and not the actual article?
the jewish insider dot com article
literally is
the article that started this fucking falsehood
the jewish uh... insider dot com article actually quietly changed the
wording
in the article itself in an effort not to get hit with an obvious parking
uh... with obvious litigation
answer but attorney general nassal joins us now so let's get to the heart
of this new called car
like under any other sorghum stance under any other sorghum stance this is like
a ridiculous bucket story
it is such an overt instance of slander
being propagated by these outlets that are supposed to maintain a shred of
impartiality
maintain interest in like what the truth is
but it's such an obvious instance of slander
and nothing will be done about it
nothing
no real apologies being issued at all
was someone to leave reaction to your office's charges and her allegation that you and your
office have bias. You said that was anti-semitic. Why? Well, you know, look, for her to say
that I could handle a litany of other cases and that was fine. But when it comes to anything
involving pro-Palestinian protesters, I could not be fair. I could not be objective.
And I don't think you have to be Angela Lansbury to figure this out, right? Clearly,
referencing my religion as to why she why why would she be referencing that why
another glaringly obvious instance of like horrific horrific racism horrific
Islamophobia was launched against Rashida Tlaib I mean she's been she's been
a victim of this shit since October 7 and far before October 7 but especially
so since October 7 when a prominent Jewish activist was stabbed to death and killed and the media
literally fucking shamelessly went to incredible lengths to say where she did to leave actually
liked that this person was stabbed to death. Okay? It was her friend. This Jewish woman was a community
leader, was a anti-Israel demonstrator, and also on top of that a friend of Rashida Tlaibs. And they
just fucking made it up and lied. Barstool's Dave Porkboy went so far as to double down on his
speculation. It is ridiculous dude. It is insane the shit you can get away with as long as you're
saying that about an Arab woman, a Muslim woman, okay? Who wouldn't even let her grieve the death
of her friend without making the story about her with false smears that she must have enjoyed
the murder and was somehow responsible for it because she's Palestinian and the
victim is Jewish. Here's Dana Nessel all the way back in November.
We should believe I've supported you in defending your countless times even when
you have said the indefensible because I believe you to be a good person whose
heart was in the right place but this is so hurtful to so many please
retract this cruel and hateful remark. The cruel and hateful remark was by
By the way, from the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights,
and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate.
My work in advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people, no matter faith
or ethnicity.
A statement she was censured for, by the way.
Please retract this cruel and hateful remark.
When we look at it with today's lens, it probably makes it a little bit funnier,
don't you think?
Because back in November, I'm sure that there were plenty of people who also personally agree with this rhetoric.
Tensions were high. You didn't understand the full depth of Israel's cruelty.
You did not, you did not understand the humanity of the Palestinians due to all the social conditioning surrounding the subject matter.
Now almost a year after those remarks, you probably are way more understanding of
Rashida Tlaif's position and
and probably laugh at Dana Nessel's position back then.
This is why from the River to the Sea was my red line
in many instances.
A red line that was a bridge too far for many,
a bridge too far for many in this community
and in edge communities as well.
But the reason why I stood by Rashida Tlaib
and was resilient in defending these statements
is because I understand where they come from. I understand the historic context in which these
statements began, and I understand what it looks like when you cave and capitulate to false framing
that actually ascribes a falsehood to the statement. A call for emancipation is not a call
for death and destruction just because those who want to defend that death and destruction
claim it's scary for them. Okay, sometimes when I say something and you don't understand,
sometimes when I say something and you don't personally understand why I'm saying those things,
just give it some time. Okay, you'll be back. History will end up vindicating me
and hopefully you will also understand why would you have to kill people to be, oh yeah,
In the 60s, if you said black power, this was the reaction. I know. I know. I mean,
look no further than a couple years prior. When people said black lives matter, white
supremacists got in their feelings about that too. They desperately tried to work and
mar the reputation and tarnish it and claim that that meant that you want to kill
white people. And they came up with their own slogan, All Lives Matter, as a counter
to Black Lives Matter. But the ultimate goal there was to basically stop all protests.
And the same principle holds for pro-Palestinian movements. The goal is to stop you from saying
the truth. The goal is to stop you from saying that Palestinians are worthy of emancipation,
Palestinians are worthy of dignity. Palestinians should live free of the apartheid, free of
the genocide. That's what they're angry about. They'll attack the optics, but at the heart
of the matter is the problem. The problem that Palestinians should not be seen as worthy
of dignity. Their humanity should never be recognized, because if you do, then all of
a sudden Israel's actions become quite unconscionable. And that's devastating to the dionist, ethno-nationalist
supremacist project.
Major media outlets in the head of the ADL amplified a fabricated and dangerous lie about
Rashida Tlaib. Not only that, they did it after another outlet targeted her with
the racist caricature. Anti-Palestinian bias is real. This is case in point. No one should
be treated this way.
She thinks I can't be fair. She also mischaracterized the charges. And I think, quite intentionally,
I mean, she talked about this being peaceful protesters. No peaceful protesters were charged
in this event. And, you know, Rashida's a lawyer. She had every opportunity to
call me to ask to see the evidence in this case, but she didn't do that. You
know I I have to rely on the facts, the law and the evidence when I go into a
court of law and that's what we evaluated in this case and that's the
only thing that we evaluated in terms of making a determination as to these
charges. I should note that I'm in spoke yesterday when asking a follow up
of Governor Whitmer who I asked about this. I was trying to characterize
your views of to leave comments. What do you make of those today noting
that Congresswoman Tlaib never explicitly said
that your bias was because of your religion,
and so it's unfair for you to make that allegation.
Well, a couple of things.
First of all, in 2022, when my opponent accused me
of being a groomer and a pedophile,
everyone understood that those were homophobic remarks
because I happened to be gay, right?
I didn't have to explain it to people.
Rashida Tlaib is an individual who is well known
for making inflammatory and incendiary remarks
that are anti-Semitic in nature.
So this isn't the first time that we would have heard
these words out of her mouth.
I think it's very clear to everybody exactly
what she was saying, but I have to say this,
it is my job to keep communities and campuses
around the state of Michigan safe.
And that is exactly what we're doing.
I understand that the Congresswoman has very strong
feelings about what's happening in the Middle East.
so many people do here in the state of michigan
but you know that doesn't excuse criminal behavior and the the answer
to what's happening in the middle east clearly is not to have chaos
and anarchy in lawlessness
uh... on our college campuses in a way that jeopardizes
the safety of students
it's my understanding that the university of michigan is not this
pleased with
charges being brought against people who were not peaceful protesters
the university has not commented to me anyway one way or another
uh... these cases were submitted to my office and we did a fair and impartial
an extensive review
uh... and again this evidence will be presented
in a court of law
but i don't think it's helpful to anyone to have the congressman woman
commenting on the you know the merit of these cases when she's not
familiar with the fact of the evidence
Oh, as a black guy, I can't help but be cynical over how much airtime Asian media has been
so eager to spend for centering white victims and their coverage of anti-Semitism. Like
the most ethnic Jewish person I've seen saying they were a victim on TV has been light skinned
Italian. I mean, a lot of the, a lot of the pro Israeli sentiment does come from people
in positions of people in positions of privilege. Like let's be real. That's where it comes
from. No, I mean, that is what it is. That's why it is packaged in an identical capacity
to all this commotion that the media absolutely elevated in the campus free speech protest,
were oftentimes conducted by straight-up neo-nazis. Same as a black person, I don't understand it.
I mean, you should understand it as a black person. It's because the halls of bigotry
are being conducted by those with privilege, and that's the only reason why I get so much goddamn
airtime. That's what it is. Like, the positions that these people have, the positions that these
people have are literally a point of a point of privilege. Like they're claiming that a
reiteration of the American State Department's position on Israel is actually somehow a brave
one is actually somehow putting them in harm's way. It's like saying, Oh, they're attacking
me because I'm pro cop. Like that's not a real thing, man. What the fuck are you talking about?
suck my dick what are you saying what the fuck are you saying oh man they're
attacking me because I said the American military is is is good you see
what I'm saying it is no different it does not matter it does not matter
whether you are Jewish or not Jewish if your position is pro-Israel okay if you
You are repeating pro-Israel perspectives and pro-Israel positions, and you try to claim
that you are being attacked for said positions, and that there is some victimhood to be extracted
out of you being pro-Israel.
You are a delusional fucking loser.
It is a laughable, laughable notion that you would incur any penalties whatsoever
for fucking being pro-Israel.
It is ridiculous.
The inverse of that, however, is very true. It is the most normal thing to incur penalties
for being anti-Israel. You are branded as an anti-Semite instantly, a son look is slick
today Gucci's commie cousin. What does that even mean? Yeah. I mean, I, I liked this
tweet when I saw it. Yeah. The fact that Tapper Greenblatt and others can engage in
a multi-day defamation campaign against Rashida Tlaib by blatantly misquoting her and
face zero repercussions for it is a great example of the institutional anti-Palestinian bias
she called out in the first place, which is correct. Do you think CNN will ever apologize
for his coverage? Yeah, dude, when pigs fly, okay. When pigs catch flight, CNN will apologize
for fucking smearing a Palestinian woman like, that's funny. That's awesome. It's like,
like demanding is like demanding CNN apologize for, I don't know, defending the police or
something like what they're never going to do that. Did you ever talk about Marcelle Williams?
No. Never. Definitely not. I hate this fucking I hate this this shit. I hate this story. I
hate everything about it election day. Chatters. Oh, it's already on some of my latest videos.
God damn pro-israel means Zion is in this case. What do you think Zionism is? Yes
Zionism okay in its modern practical application of the term
Means that you want Israel to be a demographic
Jewish ethno state
Okay, some people might on the aesthetic ground
Might some people might actually have an issue
with, like, the apartheid. Some people, more people will have an issue with the designation
of apartheid, but some people might actually think that the settler colonial aspect of it,
at least in terms of the West Bank is unconscionable, yada, yada, yada, but ultimately, you believe
that Israel must remain a Jewish majority ethno-state. Now, there is no peaceful way of remaining
a Jewish majority ethno-state, considering that said Jewish majority ethno-state is sitting
on top of Palestinian land, historic Palestinian land that Palestinians by the millions were
forcibly evicted from. So yes, Zionism, regardless of which level of Zionism you're on, all
the way from liberal Zionism, or even like a standing together Om Dimbayehad supporter,
All the way to Itamar Ben-Givir, all the way to Mayor Kahan, and a Kahanist ultrazionist,
still is varying degrees of fascist ethno-nationalism.
Okay, that's it.
This of course is purposefully muddied in mainstream media and even in academia in
certain instances.
And there is a very nefarious but very strategic reason for it.
If Zionism has a million different definitions, you can get away with being like, well, all
Jews believe in Zionism, and therefore, you must hate Jews if you are an anti-Zionist.
Aren't ethnos supposed to be like really bad and not allowed by American allies?
Neek, Skid, he's bad, he's back, like surely Israel's only maintaining his demographic
by coincidence and not actual policy, yeah.
it was a pure coincidence the fucking purge seven hundred fifty thousand
palestinians from their ancestral homelands in nineteen forty eight
which uh... struck the inception of the nation state of israel
and appear coincidence that they wrote it into the law that israel is a jewish
state
for jews
and surely a coincidence that israel actually has deliberate ethnic
displacement policies in place
like in places that they want to completely settle like east rusellum
where they have
a direct
goal
in writing
that sixty percent at the minimum
of east rusellum has to be jewish
no man it's not a joke dog this person literally is not joking
this person is never joked he is a mormon
j r o t c
uh... person who wants to go
and be in the office's program okay nique skitt is not a jokester
he is a child
and he is on a journey of learning the truth about the world
but he certainly is not a jokester
yari lapid
centers opposition and yaho on banning palestinian spouses
there's no need to share from the essence of this law it is one
of the tools to ensure a jewish majority in israel
which is the nation state of the jewish people
our goal is for there to be a jewish majority
but he's woke
and also
let's remember labor Zionism labor Zionism's last remaining alive
proponent.
Mr.
was it Isaac Herzog the president of Israel. Okay.
He is openly anti miscegenation more openly than the air
lapid even he has openly communicated that miscegenation
should be illegal that Jews in America as a matter of fact are unfortunately marrying non-Jews
at an alarming rate. Yes, the current president, the current president of Israel has said that.
Okay. Is all that stuff still current because obviously the history seems horrible. Yes,
dude. Who the fuck do you think the current president of Israel is? Who do you think
these are active members in the Israeli Knesset and in Israeli government right now.
These are in the books as laws currently.
It is legal for a Jewish community to evict a Palestinian inside of Israel proper, by the way.
We're not even talking about, we're talking about 67 boundaries Israel, Israel proper, okay?
right now inside of Israel proper if you are a non-Jew Israeli citizen a
Palestinian citizen of Israel okay and you want to move into a Jewish
neighborhood they can deny you a place to live to preserve the ethnic character
and the demographic concerns our representative surely condemn what he
said because he said that though right even if they didn't condemn him
because that is crazy. No, of course our representatives have never fucking condemned
anyone who has said these things. This kind of, this kind of shit that happens in Israel. Okay,
okay, okay. Neek Skit, you're in here every day. I know for a fucking fact that you have
seen me cover the pro-ray protest that took place. Israel had its own January 6th style
protests after the Israeli government wanted to prosecute nine, uh, nine concentration camp guards
from Sudeh Tayman for raping Palestinian prisoners to death. Okay. Now the major rapist in that
story became a television personality in Israel. Many literally is on TV now on in Israel. They
made him a celebrity for defending, uh, raping a Palestinian to death. Did the American media
cover this story at all outside of someone like myself or maybe democracy now or a few
other places did the American media cover that story at all no just like they didn't
cover any of the other things that I just so told you that have happened far before
October 7 why don't they cover it because if they did if they honestly covered what
Israel is fucking up to on a daily basis you would have to be insane to defend it
Okay?
And the only reason why there are so many motherfucking Americans out there who are still under the firm suspicion that like,
oh, maybe this guy's a little anti-Semitic for criticizing Israel a little bit too much, huh?
Is because they don't know anything about Israel.
Because the media purposely does not cover all the insane shit that they get away with over there.
That's it.
Because if they did, you would go crazy.
You'd be like, what the fuck are we doing?
Why are we aligned with these guys?
These guys are insane.
This is some Nazi shit.
I explained the pro rape protest to my mom, including links. And she demanded me answer
why mainstream wouldn't cover it. Because if they did, your mom would have a very different
opinion of Israel and probably would be a little bit more upset when she heard the next
story, which is 18 additional billion dollars have been given to Israel so that they can
keep doing rape camps. Obviously, that's the reason why mainstream media in the West
doesn't cover that shit.
The funniest part of this is that like, it's not like Israel is hiding that they do this
shit.
I mean, depending on which person's TikTok you're looking at, sometimes they're celebrating
it, you know?
So it's not like it's, this is a hidden truths that we have uncovered here.
Speaking of hidden truths, the last part of the process that I wanted to get to,
US aid CIA and the State Department also CIA, the Refugee Bureau said Israel blocked aid
to Gaza, but Blinken told Congress the opposite.
So they wouldn't have to heed US law that had forced cutting off weapons to Israel.
As in the Biden-Harris administration is complicit in war crimes.
These are leaked documents that pro-publica found, investigated and reported on.
This is a new story. I'm not holding my breath that the New York times will be writing about
it anytime soon. This is pro-publica. It is the most reputable outlet investigative reporting
in the Western world. Okay. Just understand that this is it. Pro-publica is the tippy
top of reputable investigative reporting. And yes, I say pro-publica, but Amy Goodman
says pro-publica and that's why I also say pro-publica. Shut the fuck up. I will never
outflank Amy Goodman. She knows better. Okay. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. No,
what? Every time you say kinesit, it sounds like you're saying kaisaness super quickly.
Just fucking take the three minute outbreak at the top of the hour, chatters. Just put
the ad break in the bag. Okay. I don't even know what to say to that. Anyway, Blinken told
Congress we do not currently assess that the Israeli government is prohibiting or otherwise
restricting aid, even though the US agency for international development and others
had determined that Israel had broken the law. The US agency for international development
delivered its assessments to the secretary of state Anthony Blinken in the state
department's refugees bureau made it stands known to top diplomats in late April. Their
Her conclusion was explosive because U.S. law requires the government to cut off weapons
shipments to countries that prevent the delivery of U.S. back to humanitarian aid.
Israel has been largely dependent on American bombs and other weapons in Gaza since Hamas's
October 7 attacks.
But Blinken and the administration of President Joe Biden did not accept either finding.
Days later on May 10th, Blinken delivered a carefully worded statement to Congress
that said, we do not currently assess that the Israeli government is prohibiting or
otherwise restricting the transport or delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance, which
But she's, by the way, a lie. It was a lie. We always knew it was a lie. Every fucking
person that had actually had any kind of dealings, like fucking John McCain's wife was saying
that this is a lie. Okay. It's not like she's a goddamn peaceful dove. Okay. On the issue
of Palestine, she's very cool, but that's besides the point prior to his report, USAID
had sent Blink in a detailed 17 page memo on Israel's conduct. The memo described
instances of Israeli interference with aid efforts, including killing aid workers,
agricultural structures, bombing ambulances and hospitals, sitting on supply depots, and routinely
turning away trucks full of food and medicine, things that we all knew about.
Okay, life-saving food was stockpiled less than 30 miles across the border in an Israeli port,
including enough flour to feed about 1.5 million Palestinians for five months, according to the
memo. But in February, the Israeli government had prohibited the transfer of flour,
saying its recipient was the United Nations Palestinian branch that had been accused
used of having ties with Hamas, Onara.
Theoretically, how would you respond to someone
who says about this article, both entities
are polluted with anti-Zionists and can't be trusted at all?
What, pro-publica?
And also USAID?
Like the US Agency for International Development
and the State Department is anti-Zionist?
No, the USAID and State Department?
US aid and the state department are polluted with anti-scientists. Yeah, good luck. I mean,
I don't know how you deal with a person like that. Has it been proven that the honorislander
was false? Yes, dude. What are you talking about? Since like the second day that the statement came
out. Anytime Israel says something, anytime Israel says something, they immediately walk it back
like a couple hours later. The original number was 13. They immediately walked it back because
they were like, okay, maybe it was actually seven. And then the number like reduced down to,
I think two or something. And the allegiances were so fucking weak. Okay. I was double checking.
I'm sure it was. Yeah, it's just completely fucking made up. Also, on ra has 13,000
in people working for it, 13,000. Yeah. This is a Felix's take, but even in a partially
legitimate country, Blinken would be facing a criminal trial. It's like saying we have
to abolish public education because one teacher murdered someone. Okay. That in any circumstance
This would be ridiculous. Okay? Like you'd be like, what are you saying? No, sorry.
We have to homeschool everybody because a teacher actually killed a person. Like what
do you mean? 13,000 people work for UNRWA. Every single employee is directly like every
single employee's background is checked. And also the employee names go by go through
the Israeli Palestinian health registry, like their actual, the Palestinian civil registry
that the Israel has, okay?
You cannot go into Gaza without Israel knowing, okay?
You cannot work inside of Gaza without Israel giving you the final go ahead.
Every single Palestinian human rights organization that currently actively works inside of
Gaza are given the go-ahead by COJAT. Yeah, the unreliable was made the day after the
ICJ ruled Palestinians have a plausible right not to be genocided. Yeah, USAID, by the way,
the US Agency for International Development is engaged in many conflict zones around
the world. I want to begin with some news today specifically out of a pro-publica report
today. Samantha Power.
The US Agency for International Development is engaged in humanitarian work across many
of the conflicts.
They're literally the fucking, this is the CIA, I need you to understand the link.
This is the CIA.
The phones around the world, from Gaza to Ukraine, Sudan, and beyond, nearly 300 million
people in the world are in need of humanitarian assistance.
The agency's work is crucial in getting that help to the most.
Like PBS covering USAID with these conditions, with these terms, is also a part of manufacturing
consent. Okay? Vulnerable despite challenges of access and violence. Amna Nawaz sat down
earlier this afternoon with the administrator of USAID, Samantha Power in New York, where
world leaders have gathered for the UN General Assembly. Administrator Power, welcome back
to the news hour. Thanks for joining us. Thank you. I want to begin with some news
today and that is specifically out of a pro-publica report just today that they are saying
that in the spring of this year, USAID submitted a report to the State Department that included
an assessment that said Israel was blocking aid in Tegazza, specifically medical and food
aid.
You know that would trigger the U.S. stopping weapons supply to Israel.
Can you confirm that you sent that report, and if so, what happened to it?
Well, I think we have made very plain our desire to see as much aid as possible
flow into Gaza are concerns about a lot of the roadblocks that have been put in the way.
I'm not going to comment on any report from today, from a long time ago, beyond to say
that our focus is as laser sharp on that set of issues around access as the number
of trucks flowing in today is not sufficient.
I want to repeat something again.
Cuban Twitter and other times USAID pretended to be an intelligence agency, foreign governments
have long accused USAID for international development of being a front for the CIA or
other groups dedicated to their collapse.
In the case of Cuba, they appeared to have been right.
In an eye-opening display of incompetence, the United States covertly launched a social
media platform in Cuba in 2010.
And it's not just the Cuban internet, okay?
USAID is supposed to come across like they are not in the pocket of the State Department,
like they're not operating in unison with the CIA, okay?
But they are.
But the moment that you marry the two, like in this case, this is, by the way, this is
foreignpolicy.com, okay?
This is not like Democracy Now.
This is not Counterpunch Magazine.
This is not current affairs. This is fucking foreign policy.com. When foreign policy.com
is writing an article like this, that means the New York times has written an article like
this. That means the associated press has also openly written articles about how the
U S eight is literally operating in unison with the CIA. It means it's significantly
worse than this article actually is, is allowed to talk about. Okay. I'm sure you
know this, but Samantha power is literally insane and is obsessed with the Holocaust and how the US never preemptively invaded to stop it.
She views every country in conflict this way and believes the US should be deployed everywhere to stop Holocaust.
Yeah.
She's awesome.
Anyway, the reason why I'm telling you all this is because even she is like, yo, what the fuck is real?
Okay.
I covered all of this stuff with USAID specifically so you understand that like even certain aspects of the CIA are like,
Hey man, what the fuck are we doing here?
Can we just dial it back a little bit?
Okay, partially because they also understand
that America is losing its soft power capabilities.
And if America can't do soft power shit,
then it's only hard power.
And it will fuck up the bag
on their hard power initiatives as well.
Because we do not have the capabilities
no matter how awesome our military is,
no matter how much money we dump into it.
Without soft power,
America cannot maintain 800 military bases
if every single fucking country
now views those military bases as invaders,
as a military occupation.
Overnight, without America's soft power,
overnight, American military might is crippled, okay?
You need to understand that.
I also obviously consider the 800 military bases to be military occupation, but you know,
that's my assessment.
You don't want my opinion to become the, you know, broad majority opinion of not only the
civilian populations of each individual state where American military bases exist, but also
the opinion of the governments.
Because at that point, all of a sudden, that's a military occupation.
That's what happens when America loses its soft power capabilities, which is ironically
something that a lot of the ultra-Zionists in the State Department are not considering.
They're not considering this at all.
They're like, nah, nah, nah, they'll shut the fuck up.
They don't have anything better.
If I may, because the report is not just alleging that there are roadblocks as you
have lamented before.
It's difficult to get aid in.
They're alleging that Israel was deliberately blocking aid.
In your assessment, have they been at any point in this war deliberately blocking
aid?
There needs to be improvement and particularly in advance of winter.
There also needs to be improvement, you need to say, in terms of civilian protection.
Almost every day it feels like we wake up to...
Just say it bro, what the fuck?
I mean, you don't have a problem saying it in memos.
...a report of an internally displaced person camp or school or a medical facility
being subjected to fire.
It's extremely challenging to fight in an environment where Hamas is deliberately using civilians as effectively human shield.
Yeah, so just to your mom, Megaphonics, that's your anti-Zionist at the USAID.
That's why it's so fucking laughable when people are like, man, the American State Department sure is a little too anti-Israel for my liking, you know?
But she's like, bro, that was supposed to be inside conversations.
Why did you guys go ahead and leak that memo?
Okay.
Yeah.
When I'm having an inside conversation with Anthony Blinken, I'm going to be like, hey,
what the fuck are you doing?
But now if I have to defend that on the outside to the public, I have to fucking defend
Israel.
Duh.
Because the analysis that I just brought forward in terms of America's soft power
capabilities diminishing is something that the state department absolutely is worried
about. Okay. There, there are obviously reasonable people there who want to maintain America's
hegemonic superpower status who recognize that they can't really do that. If everyone
fucking hates America, because America is like letting Israel run loose all around
the fucking globe. Okay. This is precisely the reason why I've been saying like there
There are people, there are naysayers in the State Department, they are not anti-Zionists,
okay?
They're not.
They simply understand, if Israel is let loose, then everyone's going to be like, what the
fuck are you guys doing?
What do you mean you want to be the world police?
Look at what the fuck you're doing in Gaza.
They're responsibly.
It's also additionally funny, in a not so funny way, but like it's ironic, I guess,
if you could find humor in this, when this conversation is happening so close to
like America's moral posture against Russia. Okay. Uniting the entire globe against Russia.
If you are wondering why so many global South nations are pro Russia and don't give a fuck
about Ukraine. This is the reason because America's fucked those countries up. So they
see Russia as the only fucking power that is actually trying to say fuck you to America
through military means. They're wrong. And what Russia is doing is wrong. But if
If you want to understand why like there's random fucking countries of the global south
that are like kind of pro-russia, that's where this anger and resentment and animosity comes
from.
Okay?
What do you think?
Lydia, again, on every professional military is to fight in a manner that minimizes the
harm to civilians.
As we speak here today, of course, the conflict seems to be expanding as well.
There have been some leaders who are expressing concern about the way in which Israel is
not.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend as a principle.
Like, if you look at Russia's actions without thinking of the human toll,
and you don't think about the human toll at all in Ukraine,
if you're a nation that has been absolutely gutted by America,
because you're like, why the fuck do I care about Ukraine?
I got my own problems to worry about.
And if you look at it from that perspective, you're like,
like oh finally someone is like sticking it to the man a little bit after years and
years of us getting stuck and that is the reason why there are so many
countries of the globe that are finding themselves in allegiance with with
Russia despite its obvious unjustifiable actions in Ukraine now
waging war in Lebanon the UNICEF chief said yesterday that the courts of 24
children in Lebanon among the hundreds dead, and she urged people to adhere to international
humanitarian law.
Can you offer your assessment of the way in which Israel is waging this war?
Are they adhering to international law?
Watching the risk of escalation and expansion of a conflict that has already displaced tens
of thousands of people on the Israeli side, on the Lebanese side, on top of the crisis
we were just talking about in Gaza with all of the human.
Of course it should be identical.
Hassan is saying that Russia shouldn't be scrutinized for their actions in Ukraine.
He's saying that the US State Department should have the same smoke for Israel and their genocide.
Yes.
In consequences of that, it would be catastrophic.
And so all of our diplomacy, again, is invested in trying to contain this conflict.
That is what this week at the UN is about, is pressing the parties.
I always mean to ask where you get the 800 military bases number.
I agree with you.
or the official number is like what, 740 or something?
Like it's an exaggeration.
It's definitely not 200 unless you're like straight up.
It depends on how you calculate a military base.
Yeah, it's 750 in at least 80 countries.
There's also obviously,
there's also obviously like, you know,
we're not even talking about the covert bases.
There are around 750 US military bases
in at least 80 countries,
So Al Jazeera says the number may be even higher as not all data is published by the
Pentagon.
Many U.S. military bases were built after World War II when the U.S. took positions
of the global leader and peacekeeper in and around Japan and Germany.
I mean this does not, that number is not including black sites.
800 is official, the actual number is close to 1000 if you count gray bases, those
are seemingly civilian but have military properties, covert bases are another factor.
I don't know where you got the 200 number from.
The rest of the world has 30 bases put together, yet China has two military bases, overseas
military bases, two.
From this large bases or bases defined as military installations larger than four hectares
are worth more than $10 million.
These typically have an excess of 200 US military personnel.
There are 439 or 60% of the US foreign bases fall under this category.
The secret ones are in Albania.
No, there's also there's a shit ton of black sites in Egypt and Romania and
Other parts of Eastern Europe. Those are places where you get I mean those are like a house though
those are just like
Those are like one house or two houses
and
And you go there and you fly someone there to torture them
their little houses
literally
It can even be like a safe house.
We hide missiles in them.
I don't know why America would be able to hide missiles in Eastern Europe when they
openly have military bases and also missile silos in general in every NATO country.
Guys, in my country of origin, Turkey, we have nuclear missiles, American nuclear
missiles in American military bases.
You understand? That's why I always laugh when Erdogan is like, you know, Erdogan is all the fucking smoke when Erdogan is like, one minute, fuck Israel.
He's they are Israel is Adolf Hitler.
When he says shit like that, it's like, come on, dog, you got American nukes to make sure that cooler heads prevail because if you need a reminder of what conflict looks like, is to make the world save.
Yeah, dude, I feel so much safer.
I feel infinitely safer when I think of all the nukes that the country that has the only
country that has ever deployed nukes on foreign civilian territory has all the nukes all around
the world ready to be deployed from a safe distance mind you.
That gives me safety and security.
That makes me think it's so safe.
Look at the human consequences in Gaza.
The fate of the hostages still hanging in the balance, the fate of Palestinian civilians.
Could the displacement that has already occurred in Lebanon, even with this lower grade conflict,
so if this were to spiral further out of control, it will only be civilians who pay the price?
You have faced criticism, I think it's fair to say, from even within your own agency,
staffers on your team who express a frustration with what they see as a hypocrisy of U.S.
foreign policy, that the U.S. continues to supply humanitarian aid on a large scale
to try to get that into the people of Gaza at the same time that it's well no NATO country
has been attacked by another nation so that's pretty safe excuse me hello uh turkey literally
has engaged in battles with Greece both are NATO nations so you're fucking wrong okay
turkey who happens to have the second largest military force in NATO gets to do those
sorts of things. Okay.
Supplying Israel with weapons to continue to wage that war.
And I know some of your staffers that's been publicly reported have asked you
about what they see as the Biden administration's being complicit
in what they see as genocide being waged by Israel in Gaza.
And one of the things they point out is the fact that you wrote a book on
genocide. They've called on you to speak out or to resign.
How do you handle that kind of frustration
within your own agency,
and what are you telling your staffers?
Well, USAID is an incredibly mission-driven agency
where people come to work every day to save lives,
to improve lives.
It's honestly inspiring to work,
including among those people who criticize me,
they're incredibly talented people.
They can be working in the private sector.
Instead, they come to work every day
to help people like the people who are suffering in Gaza.
More than 40,000 civilians have been killed in Gaza,
more than 13,000 children.
more than 300 aid workers.
I would honestly be disappointed
if my staff were not in chairman.
Listen, sometimes we sneak in weapons
to rebel groups under the guise of humanitarian aid,
but like, that comes with the territory, okay?
That's also humanitarian weapons when you think about it.
And pressing for more.
And I just feel lucky that I'm in the government,
in the room, engaging.
Shots fired in Kamala's Arizona campaign.
wait, what? No way. Yep, they lit up one of her offices. Oh, those hours ago. Oh, shots
fired on a Kamala Harris Arizona campaign office. No one was president or injured at
the office of state Democratic Party. So it was a Tempe police said they're investigating
in his property crime. Guys, that's just kind of that's just kind of a thing that
happens. It's America. That's just part of the equation. You know, the Israelis
working with the team that's pushing for a ceasefire,
because fundamentally that's what's needed most of all,
because clearly none of us can be satisfied
with where things are now in Gaza.
Do you share any part of their concern
that there's a hypocrisy to the US policy there?
I share their focus on the human consequences
of everything we do, and that's why we have live debates
inside the administration.
That's also why President Biden in the General Assembly
today just talked about the importance of the ceasefire.
We heard the president also today speak about Sudan
and what is now the largest humanitarian crisis
on the planet. He recently said that now famine has taken hold in the Darfur region. I know
that aid trucks have not been able to reach one of the largest camps for displaced people
there and access there has been blocked by some of the militia forces. What more can
the U.S. do? I know you're already providing record levels of aid, but should we be considering
airdrops, some other means of getting aid in?
be above, but it is really important to say that we cannot humanitarian aid our way out
of the kind of widespread famine that is at risk of breaking out across Sudan.
You're right, USAID is investing hundreds of millions of dollars in commodities, but
many of those trucks are just sitting at checkpoints.
And that's just a matter of political will.
It's a matter of do these self-interested generals who clearly care more about themselves
in their country, are they willing to put their own interests above even letting trucks
get through that could avert famine?
And so there are plenty of countries who are providing weapons to those actors who could
be exercising their leverage, and that is what the diplomacy is about this week.
We heard the President call for people to stop that supply of weapons into that conflict.
Is the U.S. doing enough, in your opinion, to leverage those relationships to stop
that flow of weapons in?
So every channel that we have to those major players in this conflict, we are using, including
this week, in very high level engagements, including some that I've had myself, certainly
those the president, the most important.
And do you feel there's been progress in those talks this week?
We'll see.
I mean, there's certainly verbal progress, and we have heard a lot of commitments
to peace that are not then followed through with actual termination of weapons supply.
But we also-
Whatever the doc we spent millions on in Israel, that was literally a way to- that was a mechanism
in which we could claim that Israel was allowing humanitarian aid in so they could continue
the bombing.
That's literally what that was for, okay?
And yes, it sunk.
It never also got any fucking humanitarian aid into Gaza.
The goal was not to actually deliver humanitarian aid.
The goal always was to simply say, look, we're trying to deliver humanitarian aid.
See, Israel is letting us deliver humanitarian aid.
It was a multi-million dollar PR effort that failed.
The $230 million U.S. Gaza aid pier May 17 opens May 25 damage June 7 reconnected U.M.
positive distribution on June 9, after Israeli forces killed 274 Palestinians, June 14 removed,
June 19 reconnected, June 28 removed, June 9 officially announced to be briefly reinstalled
but failed, and on July 17 it officially closed. Bye-bye, Doc! It was never actually intended
to do the purpose. It was simply a PR move. It is kind of similar to when Israel says
We are going to prosecute nine of the concentration camp guards at Sudeh Tehman.
Why are they doing that?
Because there is an ongoing ICC arrest warrant application in play.
And if the ICC actually secures those arrest warrants,
then they will investigate all of the war crimes that Israel refuses to investigate.
In an effort to get away
with doing war crimes, they have to be very careful and make it seem as though
there is like a normal process of law and order inside of Israel.
Okay
It's called complementarity
Which is a shield that Western adjacent and Western forces use
To make it seem as though they are abiding by international standards, but
Even the way that given the incompetence in the corner cutting in the car and the cost cutting
Measures that we implement even in our military. We can't even do the PR thing, right?
It's just a song and dance to continue the genocide. It's it's no different than saying Joe Biden and I are working tirelessly around the clock to find an end to this ceasefire thing to make a ceasefire thing happen.
Okay, it was simply a talking point and I told you at the time that it was simply a talking point. What November 11 2024. What is your reaction.
it's my wishes have come true dream has become more depressing than usual yeah
I know it's because the news stories are depressing unusually depressing we didn't
even get to like the the normal political stuff nor did I get the Trump
versus Harris middle ground nor did I get to the one woke teen nor did I get the
streaming is changing politics is that a good thing but I will be covering this
one now as we move on to less depressing stories. I'm not going to do the jubilee tonight. I'll
do it tomorrow.
This is a fun story. Israel's Warnia Gaza is one of the most significant geopolitical events
of the 21st century. So why is this guy one of the internet's leading commentators on
the issue?
Oh, that's an argument for instance I never considered.
For those of you who missed it, Destiny, who is a streamer, a debated political scientist
and Israel Palestine scholar, Norman Finkelstein, and in doing so he presented himself as an
expert on genocide.
Those kids were literally coming out of a previously identified Hamas compound that he
has operated from.
They literally...
Mr. Borale, Mr. Borale, with all due respect, you're such a fantastic moron, it's terrifying.
You know, later he went on and talked about how he absolutely dominated that debate.
If the other side doesn't bring up a single coherent point for an entire conversation,
they didn't and they're like being unhinged the entire time I feel like
Hopefully it plays better to me. I probably definitely could have gone um, I definitely could have gone harder though given how unhinged
Norm was and in the most important mr. Portobello. You are such a fantastical moron
It's still funny oh
Jesus Christ
That was so great dude the fucking
fucking gall there thinking that you go up against the dude who wrote the goddamn books
because you fucking tried to quickly summarize a couple Wikipedia articles that correspond
to your argument. The arrogance, dude, that arrogance, that blind confidence is exactly
how he motivates some of the most like ill-equipped people online, some of the most like awful
individuals online into believing that he has ideas worth a damn.
The election of our lifetime, why is Donald Trump doing a live stream with Aiden Ross?
And for that matter, why is one of the most incisive voices on the left not a host at
NSNBC or CNN, but a Twitch streamer?
Ah!
Ah!
F*** you!
You know, Son Piker's critiques of liberal policies from within his streaming suite
at the DNC apparently got him kicked out.
I doubt that NBC would be getting kicked out randomly.
Which is cool, I'll be honest guys, in general it's cool to get kicked out of places, the
cool badge of honor, unless you get kicked out for a not good reason.
Live streamers have become important enough in the political space that they can seemingly
change minds, influence elections, and maybe even threaten major political parties.
So how did folks like this go from streaming Grand Theft Auto 5 all day to reshaping
our political discourse?
And are they making a meaningful difference or just enabling a sort of digital cosplay
that lets us feel like we're activists when we're just sort of fueling Jeff Bezos' empire?
Jeff Bezos.
Worst bald man alive.
Change my mind in the comments if you think there's a worst bald guy.
To understand political streaming, we gotta start by contextualizing the seemingly unpolitical
world of video game streaming.
Because before these guys were interviewing world leaders, most of them were just streaming
games from their bedrooms.
And they all started over on Twitch, which is an Amazon-owned platform catering to gamers
and their fans.
And since Twitch took off, you know, some streamers have been like, it almost sounds
like you did nothing but play games, and all of a sudden we're politics, man.
Yeah, I mean, I don't really care.
It's not, not exactly correct, but who cares?
Over to competitors like Kik and pathetic, gross, lame boomers continue to stream here
on YouTube.
I'm Michael Burns, I'm here with producer Henry.
Now one distinguishing aspect of streaming relative to other types of media is its
shocking sense of immediacy. Streamers are playing and reacting in real time and
simultaneously their viewers are commenting and maybe even critiquing them in the
chat. Go to your Twitch dashboard and check out the new charity function. It
makes easier for your chat to donate to charity and doesn't cost you anything.
Okay, I'm not doing that right now because we're in the middle of something
right now. I don't know if you can tell but I'll do thank you for letting
me know but all right. It's a format that leads to heightened reactions and
and lots of hot takes.
This might be the most transport thing that I've ever said in my life.
So, here we go. I don't think I really believe in non-binary.
And unlike traditional media, YouTube videos or podcasts,
when users react to or yell at streamers,
well, streamers can yell back.
It's like, how the fuck do you arrive at that position
while playing one of the most, like, pro-trans video games, too?
Like, what is wrong with this man, dude?
Dude his mind is just constantly churning out as much hatred as he possibly can come up with like how the fuck
Back which offers a thrill and attention that's only available in such an immediate format
I mean imagine if you could yell at Rachel Maddow and she could yell back and call you a dirty little incel
I bet you'd like that wouldn't you but this sense of immediacy
Isn't just fun or kind of thrilling it actually has the potential to shift how we relate to each other on a society
level. The scholar Yochai Benkler argues that social media democratizes communication by providing
direct and unmediated access to information and discourse. As he sees it, digital networks allow
for a genuine reorganization of the public sphere by weakening the power of commercial mass media
and its owners and providing an avenue for diverse and politically mobilized communication
that's less corruptible by money than traditional mass media. Now in fairness,
that was written in 2006 before a world where a bunch of cool counter-cultural free-thinking
streamers like Tim Pool got paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by Russians to say stuff
on their streams. Not very cool and counter-cultural. Is it Timothy? But I would say that if any of you,
if any of the Russians are watching this, seriously, you know what I'm saying? Let's,
let's get involved. Let's do it. Let's do the thing. I would do it for so much less,
like like a disgusting amount less. I saw how much you paid to pool one one thousandth of that
and I'll be here praising Putin. I'll get a Putin neck tattoo or I'll get a Putin lower back tattoo
that says tooting for Putin that will maybe jiggle when I fart. But shadowy sponsors aside
for Benchler the decentralization and democratization of information flow makes the
public sphere more inclusive and participatory providing a platform for non-market peer
produced sources of filtration and accreditation. And this really helps alleviate information overload,
while also serving as a counterbalance to the concentrated power of traditional media.
You can think about it this way, like the best things you've probably watched on the internet
are because your friends were sharing them over and over, or a red community you're a part of,
told you to watch it, right? It's not because some, you know, traditional media source was like,
please watch the new Connor O'Malley video. It's called Chorias, and it's a weird exploration
of the way our identities split under late ca-
That video's a banger, by the way.
God damn, Conor O'Malley's so good.
Capitalism and the way that social media exacerbates those tensions, right?
It's just your friend was like,
check out the new O'Malley video, it's freaking crazy.
Now this all empowers viewers to contribute to public debate
and hold those in power accountable.
And in the context of political streaming,
viewers are able to form communities with other audience members
that can exist in chat on discord servers and social media or even real life.
And please let us know if you ever met a stream friend in real life.
Also if you met a stream friend in real life and you're currently
you know handcuffed to a radiator in their basement but you can kind of reach the keyboard
I guess type help and we'll try to find you.
But it's not just immediacy and community that make political streaming so unique.
Christopher J. Hopwood suggests that the ability of platforms like Twitch to
Enable the sharing of unfiltered thoughts and experiences in real time helps facilitate the expression of
Realness this is the this is something I think about quite a bit
Which is like the democratization of media has led to people like myself existing in this space
But it also has very obvious
Downsides to it as well. I guess like if misinformation is going to occur
It's better if it's democratized, but also it does kind of feel as though with less and
less confidence in mainstream media, there are instances, there are definitely instances
where like, misinformation presented by grifters can cause societal, push for societal collapse
like a, especially when paired up with a lack of education, lack of critical thinking skills,
lack of media literacy. So it's something that I think about quite a bit because if the media is
not, if there is no independent media, if there is no democratization of the dissemination of
information, you don't get to have a different point of view on Israel, right? If you look at
CNN, if you look at New York Times and you get all your news from there, you are going to
have a very different point of view on what is occurring in Gaza and why it's happening,
right?
So someone like myself will never be able to exist in that space.
There will never be the gratuitous nature of like corporate overlords that say, you
know what?
We want this kind of information to be out there as well.
That's not going to happen, right?
They're always going to limit that to the neat little confines of whatever neoliberal
hegemony allows you to say.
Now, there is no extent to the right wing.
There's no limitation to like how far right you can go,
unless you are also anti-Zionist.
You can be anti-Semitic,
but you can't be anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic, right?
You can be anti-Semitic
and get a prominent role in a media institution.
You can't be anti-Semitic
and also anti-Zionist at the same time, however.
And on the other hand,
on the other hand,
There's a lot of people like,
there's a lot of people due to the fact that legacy papers
have kind of dropped the ball time and time again
in a very public fashion,
where mainstream media is like,
whenever mainstream media is needed,
like during COVID, right?
When there needs to be like an organized way
to disseminate information
from an Institute of Authority,
like during COVID,
when there is a serious pandemic occurring, right?
Because there are less and less people
trusting mainstream resources,
a lot of people can take advantage of that lack of trust
and, you know, grift, make shit up,
especially in times of commotion.
It's a weird predicament that I find myself
both benefiting from,
but also thinking is maybe sometimes consequential
in a negative way.
Like COVID probably caused a lot more people
to distrust mainstream institution,
which is ironic because they didn't really fuck up
that badly during COVID.
Like they were doing best practices on the issue of COVID
and their coverage over COVID
and trying to stop misinformation
from spreading during COVID.
But also, you look at Israel and the way that they're dealing with American foreign policy.
They always cover American foreign policy in the exact way that you expect them to cover,
which is a crumb of truthfulness in an effort to maintain the veneer of impartiality so
that you can be a legitimate institution that is trusted, okay?
While simultaneously packing it to the fucking gills with a tremendous amount
of misinformation, uh, lying by omission, uh, genuinely using, uh, passive voice, whenever
you describe Israel's atrocities, things of that nature, all of Israel's enemies are
terrorists that deserve it, that kind of stuff. Also, in my opinion, that kind of framing
in my opinion also caused a lot of people, especially in the younger generations to
mistrust mainstream media, mainstream institutions. And I think we need to rebuild trust in
mainstream institution. Because I believe that there still should be real journalism happening.
Mission Media spreads plenty of disinformation on its own, but I feel as though
mainstream media has pushed back from independent media, independent media gets
less pushed back from other independent media because its reach is simply smaller.
Rebuild trust in U.S. mainstream institutions, lol. Yes, yes, there should be.
In a perfect world, in a perfect world, independent institutions would exist,
or you would also have, you would also have like legitimate national institutions that are trustworthy
resources for objective or at least as close to objective news as you can get. But the unfortunate
reality is that America, due to the interest of, you know, capital accumulators is never going to
do that, I think. While we're at a rebuild trust in government, I agree with that too.
I literally agree with that as well. Yes. The idea that, you know, streamers seem to have an
authenticity that we don't normally see in popular media figures. Hopwood and his co-authors
argue that realness may be a particularly important individual difference variable within certain
domains of social behavior. For instance, being real may be both harmful and beneficial
for politicians, but for citizens, it is a key characteristic trust. It's basically like when
streamers seem like a cool person to hang out with, like how I'm a cool person to hang out with,
you know? I trust him more intuitively than I would some good-looking guy on TV with a slick
haircut and a suit and he always says the right thing, you know? Screw that guy. Now some of
this is simply a function of streamers broadcasting for huge amounts of time. Seriously, you're
If you're not familiar with-
I mean, it's virtually impossible for me to be fake.
No one is that good at presenting a fake version of themselves
for eight to 10 hours every single day.
The sort of thing.
You know, Piker will stream for 12 hours a day.
Destiny might stream for seven hours a day.
People like Vosh might go five, six hours a day.
And when you're streaming for, you know,
most of your waking life,
you're gonna have to talk about more
than just politics and theory.
Graveler is a rock with forearms
and pass, I'm not putting my anywhere near gravel.
Now it seems like the relatability and realness is paying off.
Piker alone has over 2,500,000 followers
and 140 million views,
with an average of 157,000 active viewers.
I know for a fact that's over twice
the population of Duluth, Minnesota.
So at any point he's streaming,
there are two Duluths watching him.
Now during the 2020 elections,
His was the Duluth Dyson times two.
When you think about that,
when you think about that,
that means there's not one, but two Larry Sinclair's
sucking two different Obamas after doing crack,
sideways sucking their shit off.
The sixth most watched election coverage stream.
The average of similar audience size to CBS and Fox News.
And it seems to indicate that at least
amongst a younger demographic,
folks prefer more interactive and authentic content.
and this has not escaped the attention of mainstream media.
You get more people watching you
the evening than I do.
But all of this doesn't answer the question
of why we, you know, you, me, all our friends
are so engrossed by political streaming
and why millions of folks spend just hours and hours
of their lives enmeshed in these digital worlds.
Now it might have less to do
without changes our opinions and more to do
without it actually changes our experience of time.
Yes, friends. That's a real thing. I'm about to argue. So, so don't tune out now before we keep going. I want
Bro, I'm a star hating harder. You've been getting way too many glaze pieces lately, dude
Let me have a fucking moment to breathe. Okay, don't worry
If you think I need to be fucking hated on trust me anytime
There's a new glaze piece all of my fucking insane haters get like MK ultra style activated to be like I'll have you know
He's actually a bad guy. Please don't say he's a good guy. He's a bad guy
I promise you he's a bad guy. They go crazy over it. Trust. Okay. I also get fucking shit it on by my long-term subs
Anyway, they lose their god I think of a shout out to our friends over at yes, please coffee
They're special because this is a company that I actually reached out to you because I liked their coffee so much
I asked that they wanted to work with us and thank God they did they're based right here in Los Angeles
They're independent company their beans are awesome
I've been drinking yes, please for a few months now and it's some of the best coffee
I've ever had my good friend producer, Olivia said it changed her relationship to coffee a lot of people from our stream
Community have tried it and loved it go to their website and then use the code wisecrack for 20% off
There's a link down in the description as well
Truly top notch beans. It's a great way to support the channel and help support a really cool independent company
So check out yes, please coffee
Because you know I think you deserve it now. Let's get back to the show
It's clear that authenticity is critical to the success of political streaming, but of course it's not just about being cool and relatable.
Because some of these guys aren't cool or relatable. They're kind of weird and unrelatable.
It's that the very structure of the medium creates moments of truthfulness in both the streamer and their audience that are almost impossible to achieve.
These guys started talking to said you were obnoxious and a bad person
But when I asked him to say the reason for his opinion, he couldn't get one. Yeah, because he fucking saw like three
Twitter power farmers
Yeah, they're eating your ass up on Twitter right now lemma fail
So this is from september 15 2021
And it has 2.9 k likes
And it's literally a fucking barb, dude
What the fuck are you talking about?
What are we doing right now? We're just like re-litigating old drama that I was objectively
correct on. Your article is full of weirdos. No, it's not. Not really familiar with a song.
He seems pretty cool though. We'll check him out in the future. Why are you guys doing
this? We're watching literally, we're watching, we're straight up watching like a puff piece
And you guys immediately like are sending me a million different fucking a million different hater takes
That's crazy
And other forms of digital media now
We can better understand this via the work of French philosopher
Henri Bergson and its concept of pure duration now for Bergson
Duration is a way of thinking about time or a type of time which operates in distinction from clock time
You know, it's not mathematical or mechanical.
Like I have a little watch right now
and the second thing is going 50, 51, 52, 53, right?
Sequential, linear, mathematical, things of that nature.
But duration is more to do with our experience of time.
Imagine what it feels like to wait for 45 minutes
in the waiting room of your dentist.
Feels like an eternity.
Now imagine what it feels like to spend 45 minutes
catching up with your best friend
that you haven't seen in a while.
Probably flies by before you know it.
they're on their way and you wish that you could hang out for longer.
Same amount of linear time, but we experience it way differently.
And we see this at play in the unique temporal experience of watching a live
stream. Now, unlike watching a cable news show, which is broken up into
distinct segments and commercial breaks, equaling precisely one hour, you know,
streams can often go on for hours without any segment breaks or time constraints.
Unless there's a Thurman Amberg at the top of the hour, of course,
Because at the top of the hour there's a through and a break there some streamers do have sponsors take a little break to talk about that
But it's not quite the same as you know
Which of course I'm out of this video is gonna make me stop watching streaming entirely
Yeah, why why our chat? What is the fucking reason for why chatters immediately try to grief me when there's like
When there's any kind of like positive movement
what is that about like and I know chatters aren't doing that because they
like hate me or anything but it is a very weird attitude that a lot of fucking
chat has where they're like it's weird is a weird tendency that y'all have what
is that they're like damn man people are saying nice things about you fuck
dude well watch this guy lie about you you know what I mean hey look at this
fucking random tweet that like implies you like raping or something like okay
well that person is schizophrenic what do you want me to do about it and yes I have
a lot of fucking haters due to all of the positions that I advocate for which
unfortunately are not all that common even though it is born out of common
sense and empathy which again seemingly less common by the moment so yeah
There's plenty of these fucking people who are delusional and insane
Don't know why you have to give them more air and
and I don't know
Make it seem like it's a valid fucking point of critique
Cutting away, so I don't know some commercial about mesothelioma
How will this affect my loved ones?
But all of this creates a sense of flow that affects both the streamer and the audience and in doing so
It can collapse the way that we think about and experience time now think about it this way
Okay, you're pretty unlikely to get home from work and just say now
I'm gonna sit in front of a screen for five hours watching a guy talk about politics play some games
Hey, maybe maybe do some research instead
You probably just tune into your favorite streamer and before you know it you're caught up in the discussion
You're jumping in the chat you're participating in an active way and you know then five hours have passed and holy crap
you have to be up for work soon. Now for Bergsson, this disillusion of clock time creates the
space for pure duration, where we're purely in the moment, fully experiencing our own internal
lives. Now Bergsson unfortunately died way before you could watch H Bomber Guy stream
Donkey Kong 64 for 57 hours straight, but you know, he may be considerate in terms
of music.
Kikong is my favorite.
Now, music does follow a specific temporal structure, right?
It conforms to a certain clock time.
Maybe a song is in 4-4, it had 110 beats per minute.
But when you're caught up in a song that you love,
your experience is one of pure duration.
You know, you're not thinking about measures
and time signatures, you're just fully in it.
This is why Dead Heads can vibe out to a song
for like 45 minutes and then want more as soon as it ends.
You know, because when that music never stops,
you sort of feel free from everything else.
This feeling of temporal freedom
is the exception to the rule of our normal lives,
which, let's be honest, are mostly governed by clock time
and more specifically, work time or work clock time.
Now, as Bergson writes,
we spend the majority of our lives outside ourselves,
hardly perceiving anything of ourselves but our own ghost.
He goes on to write that
we live for the external world rather than for ourselves.
We speak rather than we think.
We are acted rather than act ourselves.
This means that our identities
and our internal states of consciousness
are shaped by rigid clock time.
You know, it's like maybe on this person,
when I'm at home.
Yep.
When I'm this person, when I'm at work.
My pity does not extend so far
as to her putting a man's life at stake.
And I'm this person with my old timey street gang.
Everybody dress up sweet and sharp.
we can sing vicious four-part harmonies
and then just cut you into pieces.
But considered from a perspective of duration,
I'm all of these things at once.
And my identity and consciousness
are constantly unfolding.
And streamers are able to tap into this.
You know, creating an experience of duration
in which different elements of their consciousness
or perspective emerge over time.
You think about the stream marathons
of someone like Ludwig,
where dramatic variation in his behavior
can create a palpable sense of authenticity.
You know, sometimes even a streamer's mistakes
or elapses in judgment or random asides,
you know, make them feel most real to us.
Hawk too well on that fovea.
You know, take this time that if Son Piker
seemingly forgetting that he was streaming
got a little bit distracted.
That was my inside voice that came out.
I'm trying to fucking stop myself.
But the sort of realness that emerges via duration
doesn't just lead to personal details
or accidental bro behavior.
It also creates a particular experience for us,
the audience.
One in which I am actively listening and engaging
and experiencing myself thinking in real time.
You know, when this is happening,
it can feel like my identity is unfolding in dialogue
with both the streamer I'm watching
and the community that I'm engaging with.
This can all create the conditions
for the political streamer to truly guide the audience
when dealing with tricky or contentious issues and policies.
And when they do this,
they might help the audience see past rhetorical traps
and anti-platitudes,
ideally creating the feeling
that you're learning alongside your favorite streamer.
And the authenticity of the medium
mixed with the freedom of duration
can then lower our guards.
And that makes us maybe more likely to reconsider our opinions
or remain open to ideas we don't immediately agree with.
That might sound like I'm being too gracious,
but I've seen this a little bit
on our tiny little YouTube streams
where people in the chat kind of open their minds,
debate with each other, change their minds on stuff.
It's a very beautiful thing to see.
Other times.
Look, I, yep, he has a psychiatry degree.
None of what he's saying holds on fact.
YouTube guy thinks he's a psychiatrist now.
The only thing I will say is that
there is obviously a lot of back and forth
in the community building and it can be used for good
or it can be used for evil, okay?
If you are using the,
If you are using the community that you've cultivated over the course of many, many years to like harm others, to go after others that you feel have wronged you, and slowly but surely cutting out like anyone that is a naysayer, then you are operating a fucking cult in the most toxic ways possible.
you're using that to defend genocide. You're just an objectively bad person, right? This is
precisely the reason why I try to put my best foot forward all the time. Okay? Like I know the
amount of, I don't want to say power, but the amount of influence I have,
And I try to use that for good. I try to use that to motivate you to go out and
Work out motivate you to go out and better yourselves motivate you to go out and and
Do things and become a positive influence in your community
Like I recognize I recognize the influence that I hold
In the place I have in your lives and I try to use that to max out
out on all the good shit that I want you to do.
Sometimes they just say, this channel fell off.
Why is he here?
Now, we can see some of this in Piker's analysis of a debate between Ben Shapiro and Malcolm
Nance, in which, you know, the audience gets all the benefits of having a political
commentator who can translate, add context, and fact check in real time.
This enhances the audience's understanding and equips them to critically engage for
themselves.
Okay.
Actually pretty simple.
And it's not just that political streamers are able to offer us more honest and authentic
analysis than traditional news media.
They also have a pretty dialectical relationship with their audiences.
You know, participating in an open back and forth that can shift the conversation or
lead to digressions and insights, that a streamer maybe wouldn't arrive at on their
own.
The duration of these streams and the communities they engender really do open up new types
of interaction between host and audience.
where unlike most experiences of our media consumption, you feel like
relational aggression is a result of you creating a tightly bonded community
can cause a lot of chatters to feel as though their parasocial bond is
threatened when your image of being a hated person. The truth is
threatened by showing you you may not have as many haters. It
causes sort of dissonance where your chatters support you but feel
your changing image can threaten who you are. TLD are
their toxic. Yeah, I mean, I think it's in the simplest not
nerdy words just gatekeeping. A lot of people forget that
like I have an overarching ideological goal with my commentary, with my Twitch stream,
and that goal is to get broad acceptance for the ideas that I hold, the ideas that many
of you also now believe as well, or maybe believed even long before me.
And that is precisely the reason why I always want to expand.
I always want to grow this community.
Okay?
Every single thing that I do is in the direction of growing this community so that there
are more like-minded people that will be more charitable to my worldview because I think
that my worldview would genuinely improve people's material conditions.
So a lot of people fail to remember that and sometimes maybe think, oh I want to gatekeep
this stuff, I just, I don't like it, like you're getting, you're getting looks by NBC,
you got prominently displayed on CNN, that's not a good thing, that's a bad thing.
only a bad thing it's only wait what your voice does matter but you won't
endorse Kamala wow that's so funny if Kamala wants my endorsement she can have
it just needs to say the magic words okay no more weapons to Israel also
none of this right-wing immigration stuff but you know those are those are
things you aside from the Kamala quip here I think a lot of people don't
understand. I think a lot of people don't understand that there is a there is a goal beyond just like
me. That's why I do these collaborations too and also because I like to have fun and be normal in
the wild as well. It's like when my dog sees other dogs come up to me and she gets super jelly, yeah.
Being in the audience actually matters. You know we see this in an instance like
piker responding to his audience when they had concerns about the rise of anti-woke rhetoric
it's no longer going to be irrelevant when that's all you can talk about in the next four years i'm
just telling you what's going to happen dude that was such a good lock man that guy is fucking
damn what was the date on that when he said that like we're going back to gamergate style
politics oh my god seems like i fucking locked that shit down on december 22nd 2020 wow
Wow, wow, pre-watch of the future once again, pre-watch piker, add it again dude, add it
again dude, that's crazy, that's crazy, how did he do it, how does he do it, how did he
do it, how did he fucking figure that shit out dude, god damn, god damn dude, I clocked
that shit from a fucking mile away.
In the next four years I'm just telling you what's going to happen, the unique
temporal nature of political streaming might then be one of the reasons that it creates
such impassioned communities, which is all well and good.
But if you're like me, you might still be a little skeptical of the actual political
efficacy of any of this, you know, because, sure, political streamers draw audiences as
large as traditional news outlets, but are they as politically influential?
Now, this question feels especially relevant when we know that networks like Fox News
and CNN or podcasts like Pod Save America have exhibited the power to influence
voters.
of the thing that makes streaming so interesting on a theoretical level, you know, that the
temporality that comes through an experience of duration might actually be the problem.
By keeping folks locked into a consumptive trance, it's arguably doing the opposite
of facilitating offline political activism, which raises the question, you know, are
we too busy watching political streams to actually participate in politics?
Well, maybe not, because recently we have seen more and more streamers step out
their bedrooms and engage in on-the-ground reporting that connects their streaming work to political
action while also offering more immediate and authentic coverage than what we might find on
the evening news. And you know all of this is of course made easier by their relative accessibility
and affordability streaming technology. Now we see this whether it's Hassan Piker visiting
a campus protest at UCLA or Destiny visiting Israel. These on-the-ground reactions to
You know, whether it be the anti genocide guy going to an anti genocide protest or the
pro genocide guy going to the genocide country, checking my notes, um, seems like this guy
is pro genocide at the genocide country doing more pro genocide propaganda.
Hmm.
Current political events, you know, highlighted, especially in the coverage ongoing campus
protests against Israel's war in Gaza are especially impactful during a time when it
really does feel like there's a growing information vacuum whether it's you know
the defunding of newsrooms but also that's the other thing it's like what
what market void are you feeling you know what I mean it's like hey guys
there wasn't enough there wasn't enough mainstream outlets that were
unconditionally defending Israel from Israel so we got another guy to go
pro and defend Israel from Israel, who was also pro Israel, you know, there was a, there
was a real shortage in mainstream media for people who would do the brave task of defending
Israel's genocide.
But this time they also say slurs. Okay. Real, real market void for Jake Tapper not defending
the right to say the N word as a white guy. So now we got Jake Tapper, but he also
defense saying the n-word as a white guy oh my lord real untapped market for a
liberal who is basically a four-chan vacuum across America or the seeming
on Europe said he's in the same bit is you I mean yeah for sure I think that
what I do is good and I think what he does is objectively a stain on men
kind. I don't know why this is like an own in your mind. Yeah. Yes, I think like a guy
who is a serial mass harasser of anyone who he sticks his rabid fan base on is not a good
guy, especially when he's defending genocide. A scourge, if you will.
Paymability of fake news. It's all led to an overall decline in the quality of and our trust in traditional news sources
as Palmer Toph and Nielsen argue when the public view the media as less trustworthy than politicians
It becomes easier for populist figures to lump the news media into a group with political and economic elites and claim for themselves
The role of public defender and for younger folks who have come of age in this era of distrust
streaming seems like a viable alternative for a number of reasons, especially as it
continues to enter the real world. Now one of them is that it's unfiltered and
instantaneous nature allows viewers to witness events as they unfold in real
time, which facilitates trust while also minimizing the potential
manipulation we might associate with edited news broadcasts. Another is that
when streamers are reporting from the field, they're normally going to
center the perspectives of regular people actively participating in the
event rather than highly paid experts or pundits typically featured on mainstream news shows you
know someone who was personally watching both streams from the UCLA protest earlier this year
and then also watching local LA news I'll simply say that we saw two pretty different perspectives
on what was happening. I think this alongside with like what Brett did like all the other
content creators that were there. Like, I think this was our, like, this was, I think,
one of my most consequential things that I've done. You're blinded by your hate of the gnome
and are not being truthful. Both of you are misrepresenting each other. Maybe this is by
design and I'm a naive viewer. Yes, you're a 24 month subscriber that is a naive viewer.
I'm always in awe of how people can maintain this, like both sides are the same principle.
Yes, you are. I am not misrepresenting Destiny's pro-Israel, pro-genocide position. He has personally
said it himself. You're talking about a dude who has openly, actively mentioned like master
baiting to my podcast co-host AI porn as an own, okay? Who has very publicly put his
name out there to be like, yeah, I will do that. And his community that still also repeats
those words. I don't think there's any both sides. There's nothing that you can, there's
nothing that you can equate in this circumstance that I've done. I care about the issues.
I care about, you know, policies. I care about offering context to real time news
coverage he cares about drama. Anyway, why was it your most consequential stream? Because
I think there is no better demonstration of mainstream media openly and actively framing
an issue in a nefarious way than basically fucking pointing to what the actual encampments
look like from the inside versus how the media covered it. It was such a glaringly
obvious piece of original reporting that went against what the media's overarching narrative
was about these encampments being like aggressive in nature.
I'm still waiting to see what this person is saying, both of, like, this is the, this
is the most active defense that you can engage with without coming across as like
a pure partisan in this situation. Oh, well, both of you guys do stuff. And it's always
funny when they say that, because there was a fucking discord, there was literally like
discord screenshots of them mentioning me like what 90,000 times, versus my discord,
we looked at it, and the name destiny was mentioned 9,000 total times, and the overwhelming
majority of that was coming from the gaming discussion part of my discord, because they
were talking about the video game.
So it's it's almost always like 90 to 10, but people still maintain this position as
though there's like both sides are doing this shit for the past like what six years at this
point.
I've rarely ever mentioned this person.
He has never stopped mentioning me.
Yeah.
Oh, here this is the one.
This was the link.
It was crazy saying that a Nazi is better than a terrorist, which is better than
registered sex offender which is better than a Hassan Piker fan. You know, just normal not unhinged
statements. The only time he mentioned he didn't want you talking about him was when he was getting
destroyed by Finkelstein. Yeah, that was a wonderful moment online. Why can't we chat his name though?
I know you don't care about him enough to ban his name and chat. Um, for obvious reasons,
because I don't want him to fucking, I don't want him to, to like, I don't want mentions of
boner, jelly to be dumbing up the works. Okay. Like right now, this is a great example. We've
taken a sidestep from this. Uh, we've, we stopped the coverage of whatever the fuck we were looking
at. And now his insane fan base is just going crazy over it. But what did that guy say?
I'm pro Palestine all the way actually went away from your stream in 2021 since you were
not bringing up Palestine. You're the best on Palestine. And that's what matters the most
to me, but both of your bad faith, maybe there's way too much bad blood between the two of you.
Dude, why is it that whenever I ask for a direct fucking question, these guys never actually,
these guys never actually bring anything up. You know, it just doesn't make any sense.
It just doesn't, I always ask, I'm like, what do you mean by this? Like what have I done that
it's like bad faith and there's no, like there's no good answers. It's always just like some
and weird vague generalization pro-Palestinian activists in this barricaded encampment refused
in you guys talk one time you guys are top political life-shirmers first of all come on
it's like fucking Albania saying between us in the United States you know we are what
comprise of NATO you know just like back in the day when Albania was saying between
us in China we comprise of a billion yeah you're being a little nice I think is this
group cyber stalking. Yes. You know what you've done. Yeah. I'm as pro-Palestine as it gets,
which is why you were just as bad as the pro-genocide sponsored by Israel and we're used defending
white guy. Hey, man, why don't you talk to the guy who's like objectively pro-genocide
who was actively cyber stalked you with his community for the past six years, who has
taken every opportunity to lie about you to as many people that will listen. Why
Why don't you just like be charitable to that guy who you disagree with on virtually every
issue just talk to him after he got banned for literally mass harassment over and over
again for any person including myself but I'm at least like large enough to withstand
these kinds of attacks but like any creator my size all the way down to like tiny creators
like 30 fucking concurrent viewers faith bro that's the difference I want nothing
to do with this person. Did you just leak why he got banned? No, there are a million reasons.
This is my suspicion. Why don't you just blog him? I have. What are you talking about? There's
not a moment in my day where I think about this person or his community. It's only when
I'm live when his fans come in here with like their 11th sock account or sometimes dual
fans which is even weirder that have been around for a very long time where they
they come in and they're like, well, you know,
both of you guys have done stuff. I have my reasons.
Well, you can nem twitch for unbanning sneaco and not unbanning boner.
Shelley. Yeah. I think it's fucking ridiculous that twitch unban sneaco.
I think both sneaco and boner.
Shelley should continue being banned. If it were up to me,
I would never fucking unban sneaco. Or are you insane?
Are you out of your fucking mind? Do you think I do?
because, uh, have, uh, like you think I have a positive association with like, which turning
around and, and unbending some random freaking freaks dude, are you crazy? I'd much rather
unban, I show speed before unbanning someone like fucking sneaco. And for the record, I
am pro rehabilitation. It's just someone needs to be rehabilitated first. Okay. Using
in order to disperse and the efficacy of these sorts of streams has definitely caught the
attention of politicians.
Mods got to him before me.
The anti-natalist weirdo.
Speak directly to younger voters.
At the end of the 2020 election season, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and
Ilan Omar jumped on Twitch to organize a get out the vote stream with a variety
of popular streamers politically minded and otherwise. They played the then popular multiplayer
game among us and they had over half a million people, most of whom were of early voting age,
who were there to watch and ask questions about the candidates and policies in a way that felt a
lot more authentic and casual than a press conference or even a real town hall. Imagine showing up to
to the doctor and just saying you need help and getting it.
You know, more recently at the 2024 DNC,
Son Piker was on location streaming
until he maybe got kicked out.
And of course, politicians on the right
have also been attempting to use streaming as a way
to get out their messages.
As in Trump's aforementioned appearance
on Aiden Ross's stream, in which Ross, I guess,
gifted Trump Rolex and a Cybertruck.
I can't imagine Donald Trump driving a car.
Can he drive a car is there a video of him driving a team on a golf cart not a car if you have video of him driving
A car send it to us. I don't think he can drive a car and in 2022
GOP rep Matt Gaetz live streamed on twitch and hey if you didn't see it
It did not go super well, you know while my streaming numbers are not amazing. I
Consistently donate Matt Gaetz which is something so if the revolution won't be televised will it at least be streamed friends
it's hard to say, but it is worth noting that it's not all good vibes and egalitarian
spirit in the world of political streaming.
There's a bunch of stuff we didn't include in this video, to be very honest with you,
because a lot of the right wing streaming folks that are popular very much are little
Nazis and we didn't want to put little Nazis in the video.
Now plenty of folks who are out there use their platforms to just reinforce the status
quo while cultivating audiences that are more sycophantic than curious.
but on a personal level.
During my experience streaming here on YouTube,
I've really gotten to see how quickly communities
of open-minded and empathetic and weird people can form.
And then how these communities can be used
to facilitate spaces of critical thinking
about what's going on in the world.
Special shout out to all the Wisecrack live heads out there.
I really like you all very much.
Thanks for hanging out with me every week.
I also do wanna give a shout out to Garrett Kruper.
Now he helped us with this video
he recently finished a whole PhD project on political streaming. He shared some of that
research with us. He helped out with this. And if you want to learn more about Garrett
and his work, tune in to our stream on Wednesday and we're going to have him on to talk about
his project and more about streaming. And in general, if you've ever wanted to check
out one of our streams, we stream every Monday and every Wednesday at 10 a.m. Pacific
right here. Oh my God, bro, y'all are so fucking desperate for any crumb of
interaction please
off
he's just fucking cry on youtube i would love to see you there in the meantime
let us know what you think especially let us know
if there's political streamers that you like a lot especially
there may be
less well-known it would be great to give those people
some shine most important coming out of the mother fucking gutter dude the
moment that like even
this shit is like briefly mentioned his fucking weirdo fan base and like
adjacent orbiters immediately immediately they're like it's just like that fucking one guy that
came up to me at twitchcom bro he's like come on running into band destiny it's like bro what
what why do you even remotely things will be productive in any capacity fucking christ
i thought by this point we might have banned every single person and it's i'm constantly in awe
that there are still always new sock accounts. Like it is wild, especially because, especially
because like, I don't think there's another fucking community that is this resilient with
the limited amount of size that they have. But like the amount of impact that they have
that is so fucking outsized because they're just constantly permanently fucking online.
Holy shit.
One of your security guards love that you shit on that kid by the way.
It's just like dedicate your life to anything else.
Please man.
Please.
I promise you.
I promise you you will be much happier.
I promise.
And it's like my fucking idiotic community members too.
Can you comment on this asshole saying you're endorsing raping women is actually
so gross?
No dude.
Because that is an insane thing.
you bringing that up literally is just giving it legitimacy. How do you not
understand that? Why the fuck would I ever in a million years respond to
something so fucking stupid so obviously out of context? Are you fucking are you
actually brain dead? It doesn't make any sense to me. Like I sometimes I can't
tell if like this is a person who thinks they're doing the right thing.
Yeah
That tweet at 6k likes for a song put it on screen now. It has 90k likes. You're all fucking drama addicted idiots
Oh 100% I genuinely want to get it. I
Genuinely want to dive into the minds of people like this that are just like no dude. I don't understand like
The reason why I
Have so many fucking active haters is because I already gave them a crumb by consistently
repeatedly trying to answer misinformation about me, okay?
People would make shit up and I'd be like, oh wait, hold on.
That's completely made up. Let me actually explain the truth to you.
And over the course of like five, six years, I came to the conclusion
that, oh, nobody actually gives a shit about the truth.
When I turn around and address it, it just gives it more fucking breathing room.
It gives it more legitimacy and it is a signal for all the people that are waiting in the sidelines to be like, yeah, fuck this guy
That's it
It's all fucking bad faith
Here say for the sake of argument
You're the kind of progressive lefty with a platform who gets a share of harassment
seasonal or perennial from reactionaries in this situation
You will inevitably hear one who positions themselves as a reasonable moderate ask
ask. Why don't you respond to criticism? What a perfect video from the alt-right playbook.
Why don't you respond to criticism? Innuendo Studios has an incredible library of content
on this shit. And they are so incredibly prescient. Okay? Say for the sake of argument, you're
one of the kind of per-seasonally-hy-
why don't you respond to criticism?
There's a lot going on in that question, more than is immediately obvious, and it's worth understanding.
First, is that the question is not only directed at you,
it exists as a marker showing up in your Q&As, your comment sections, your Twitter threads.
LawlCow has saw me coming self-aware
Yes, dude, you are right, and you are not fantasizing inside of your echo chamber. I am a lawl cow
Yes, that is what's going on
That's why you know NBC and CNN are writing articles positive articles about the impact that I've had or
Congress persons that I talked to at the DNC are talking about the positive impact that I've had
in their community organizing efforts
And the opinion that you maintain that I am a loll cow is shared by
3000 other sick offense trapped in their fucking mother's basement that spent their entire daily existence on discord reddit and twitter
You got it
You are definitely not hallucinating this position as a 35 year old who feels like they haven't actually
Been able to reach the levels of success that they thought they would get to by this point in their lives
I'm delusional gigachat, I know.
I wish you, I do wish you well.
And I do think that you can get better.
It's just the first step is to unironically separate yourself
from the communities that you find yourself in.
Straight up, let's continue.
To imply to anyone paying attention to you
that there is some wealth of legitimate criticism
that you have long ignored.
There may well be a specific point
this person is referring to, but it's often left unspecified or generalized so that the
content and the quantity of the criticism is left to audience imagination.
It is meant to publicly undermine your legitimacy.
Second, it's meant to make you question whether there is some legitimate criticism
out there in the din of people screaming at you.
You're not perfect, and a knock-on effect of being harassed is you get numbed out,
unable to discern good faith from bad.
Even removing yourself from the very streams through which your peers used to correct you,
because of the endless flow of garbage coming through those channels now, but the only way
to verify the ambiguous claim that there is some criticism worth responding to is to
once again strap on waiters and climb back in, which is often what your critic really
wants.
Third, well the question isn't really why don't you respond to criticism, odds
are you do respond to some criticism.
in your position are often addressing or pre-empting criticism all the time, arguably
too much.
No, what this non-specific question is really asking is, why don't you respond to my criticism?
They'll let it sound like you've been ignoring everyone, but they mean, why are you ignoring
me?
They're gonna insist you owe them a response, that their critique, regardless of your
opinion of it, is valid and demanding of immediate attention.
are there are dozens of people saying the same thing all at the same time. Fourth, odds
are good that you have in fact addressed their specific complaint, but not in a manner they
will accept.
You can tell they're a Destiny fan by their past logs asking if it's okay in certain
certain sense for a white person to say the n-word. Donald Trump AI, you don't want
to know what Hassan's doing inside my echo chamber. He's a previous sub, dude. Chill.
Is it wrong for a teacher to say the n-word in a lecture about Jim Crow?
Is there ever a case where it's okay for a white person to use the n-word?
Why are y'all like this, bro?
Why?
Why are y'all...
Here, take a week off, okay?
Just take a fucking week off, please.
Please dude.
Please.
Why is this such an important motivating factor for you?
Oh my god.
This one person's criticism is likely not unique.
may have covered it somewhere in your output purely because you know what kinds of arguments
are getting thrown in.
Isn't this just about you and the house of Lamar like they now feel they have something
real to critique what they don't?
Yes.
This is something that happens to many leftist content creators who are placed into a situation
where they have to abide by standards that they themselves didn't even set for themselves
that have nothing to do with their world view at all.
Something like an online leftist is constantly being held up to a higher standard than everybody
else but also beyond being held up to a higher standard than everybody else.
A standard that they claim you actually created for yourself when it has nothing to do with
your worldview whatsoever.
That's usually where this comes from.
You, and you're just covering your bases.
There's a decent chance your critic doesn't actually consume enough of your work to
have seen it, but it's maybe even more likely that they are fully aware of your counter-argument.
You know, maybe one of your fans directed them to it. But they don't consider a response
legitimate unless it is directed at the critic. Covering it in a different context or on a
different platform doesn't count. They are owed a- Dude, this is literally like that one guy
guy. The other day who came in and was like, uh, Hasan is secretly an ultra nationalist,
uh, pro Turkish, like ultra nationalist guy. He never talks about the Kurds. And then I
literally was like, you're wrong. I have actually talked about the Kurds and I gave
him examples and like videos that I have actually covered about the issue. Okay. And
then he turned around and said, no, it only got a hundred thousand views. So it
doesn't count. I need you to do a video where you just direct the camera, say you hate the
gray wolves and you talk about the Turkish ultra-nationalist movement. And then that video has to get
more than 100,000 views. It's ridiculous. Like there is no, like that, that person is
not a serious person. You know what I mean? He literally was like, I didn't see it.
So it didn't happen. And okay, even if it did happen, now I'm adding additional
prerequisites. If your actual issue with me is a genuine disagreement that you have with
one of my positions, we can have a conversation about that. But if your goal is to simply
go, no, I'm right and you're wrong, then yeah, we can't have a normal conversation
at all.
statement they can respond to directly because they want the argument to continue.
So really the question is, why don't you respond to my criticism on my terms?
Yes.
Finally, even if you did respond to them by name, it's likely your response would still be disqualified.
If you were to summarize their argument in any way, they would claim you are building a straw man.
If you isolated any specific critique or pointed to the cruelty that accompanied it, they would claim your cherry-picking.
You must, it seems, first present the criticism full and unabridged before you may respond to it,
which is to say, the only correct way to respond to criticism is to platform the critic.
And there are dozens-
But even if you platform the critic and then you destroy them, quote-unquote, in the marketplace of ideas,
Then all of the other people with that same interest in gaining notoriety by behaving like this will now feel more galvanized.
This is why back in the day I used to fucking do discord debates, hop in the discord, right?
Okay? And I would do it all the fucking time.
But the only thing that I realized that cultivated was a community that was inherently hostile and very toxic and only cared about the blood sport of it all.
They only cared about the debate.
They only cared about who was rhetorically more gifted in that situation.
They were not interested in learning new things, unless they were kind of learning new things in the format of a debate.
And every single time I like brought these people forward, obviously they did not know how to handle themselves on camera with the new amount of attention that they were reaching.
And for that reason, and also because they were just bad at arguing their positions and
their positions were bad, they would look like fucking dumbasses. Now that made me look
good in the eyes of all those people that wanted more debate, more blood sport, right?
But there were so many people that also had those exact same positions that would then
go, hold on, that guy was a dumbass, pick me, talk to me. I'm actually a smart guy.
too afraid to talk to me, and then I would pull them up, I would do the exact same thing,
and they would look silly, and then there would be 10 other guys in the chat going, hold on,
that guy was a dumbass, pick me instead, I will actually do a better job. This yielded
zero positive interactions. Okay. That's it. That's it.
who expect this of you, who will tear into you for not addressing, in meticulous detail,
every single critique they have ever tossed your way, and in the same breath make fun of you for talking too much.
Because they don't want to move on from why don't you respond to criticism. As a rhetorical tactic,
it's pretty ace. To announce before the argument has even stated that it is thus far undefeated,
And AWH!
MWAH!
Because any response you make is going to keep the focus on you and not their argument.
It's not worth responding to?
Well, why should be accused to get to decide what is and isn't worth responding to?
I have responded, repeatedly, well why didn't you respond in this particular way?
None of this looks at whether the criticism had any credibility to begin with, only
at whether your response is following procedure.
So now there are criticisms that have been leveled against me that I have never engaged
with.
Say for instance that you shouldn't listen to me because I'm just four eels in a trench
coat.
How would I respond to that?
What could I say that isn't exactly what four eels in a trench coat would say?
I mean, I'm not wearing a trench coat, but obviously the first thing four eels-
I have a friend who's like this with you and I've spent quite a bit of time
showing him clips where he addresses gripes.
Eventually he just came out and said, well I just don't like him.
That's perfectly fine.
Okay, and there's a prescription for that too.
He probably likes something that I like that I defend pretty fucking vociferously, and that's
all it would take for him to change his mind.
Stop trying to address the actual fucking fake false criticisms that these people have
towards me.
Okay?
Identify what they actually care about, and then show a video on that thing that
I've definitely talked about and debated.
That's it.
That's it. Because I talk about a litany of issues. Okay. There are plenty of people who were like,
Hassan is a fucking white supremacist or Hassan is a libtard or whatever the fuck. And then they saw my commentary on Palestine.
Maybe they didn't know what my opinion on Palestine was before, but then they saw it after October 7 and were like, oh my god,
I was really wrong about him.
Okay, because that was an issue that they cared about.
The same goes for abortion or the same goes for Black Lives Matter, police brutality, criminal justice reform.
Okay? There's always something that your friends, if they're your friends, they probably have like-minded opinions to you.
Okay? There's a reason why the most common thing that a lot of people say whenever I do a collaboration with like another contigator,
most common things that you hear in the comments section is, I had no idea this was a normal
dude. I had no idea that he was actually kind of fucking chill. The reason why they say that
is because they've never actually seen me outside of a circumstance where a hater is
like greatly shaping the narrative of how bad of a person I am. That's it. That's
why I also always say, as well, I also always say, the greatest, the, the, the greatest
fucking thing that you can do in this circumstance, the greatest thing you can do in this circumstance
is just get someone to have an ounce of charitability and watch for an extended period of time.
Okay. Because if someone is in here, if someone is in here for an extended period of time,
they are going to inevitably realize that perhaps they were deluded and wrong about the opinions
that they had. Okay.
Eels would do when people start to catch on is switch to hoodies. I could show you
my birth certificate that proves I was born of a human woman at a birth weight that
four eels would not add up to, but did that work for Obama?
Or did the guy who said the birth certificate was fake get elected president?
And obviously all of my exhaustively researched and carefully argued points about how fascism
has evolved on the social internet are suspect if I can't even prove I'm human.
We stayed at war with Iraq for seven years after the government announced that the weapons
of mass destruction we were looking for never existed.
And there are people to this day who still believe we found them?
So what hope do I, a mammal who would make mediocre sushi, stand in the face of that?
So if you ever see this claim out in the wild, why haven't you responded to blank?
Ask yourself, do you know what blank is?
Do you yourself agree it's a valid question?
And are you sure it hasn't already been answered?
And don't repeat the question unless you've got three yeses.
I'm sorry I'm just trying to say this.
Great video overall.
Anyway, a major reason why I don't fucking address like the drama baiters, even though
it sometimes can yield good content, is that it ultimately, it ultimately destroys the
stream, like the flow of the stream.
It turns it into just like a me, me, me, me, me operation where other people take notice
of me reacting to them and then start behaving in troll-like ways.
And then all I would be doing if I were to address all of these things would just be
to address all these things.
It would be like when people say, why don't you call out everyone that subscribes?
The entire stream would be me calling out everyone that subscribes.
That's all I'd be doing.
I remember earlier this year I told a friend that I didn't like your content since it's
a bit more driven for engagement and educational informative.
However, over the last couple months I watched a lot of your content and developed a lot
of respect for what you do.
Thank you for using this platform to educate and spread critical thinking around some
of the most important and relevant topics today.
I really appreciate it.
Thanks, one up dog.
Here it is.
I don't know about you, but I'm walking away from the blue party and closer to
Jesus.
I love this shit, dude. That's what I'm talking about dude. This is this converted me. I am
delivered. I ain't gay no more hog. Raya carry from the woods to the hood. Yeah. I mean,
she's rhyming the fuck. Call for you. Forge out a blow. Excuse me. Forgy self suck. Forgy
auto suck. Let me tell you something. Okay. He's a married man. He already got one thick
lady locked down. He's not looking for another. Okay. Calm down. All right. Let's look at
some fun shit okay I'm done I'm done with all this nonsense this was people
are saying this is a crime but fuck you my man is my man is the goat okay he's
He's the fucking goat.
Um, he's the goat for that.
Goat of Yotei.
This is Ghost of Sushi part two.
Yeah, I saw that China's making a triple-A Call of Duty type game for a Sinnoh Japanese war.
I can't wait for it.
Does anyone have the trailer for that one?
Because I want to see it too.
We are beyond the edge of Japan.
We'll come north to disappear.
Have I played the first one?
That's one yes, it was incredible.
But you, you are hunting.
Only here, it's after you.
My controversial opinion is I actually don't like
the era of like Japanese historical works
that feature guns.
I just don't like it.
Something about like guns and gunpowder in general,
it just like ruins it for me.
still think you're the hunter like that was that was my least favorite part of
yakuza the guns guns equals no honor yeah bro what is this red dead red dead
ronin what the hell it's going on the woke tracker oh 100% of course it is
here a little bit alright Chinese call of duty time finally some can you open
the door. Who's big dog? Big dog is don't worry about big dog. Where about the top of
the hour at break first? Okay. Is it top of the hour? There's a three minute
and break. If you don't want to see those ads, well, you're gonna have to fucking
subscribe. Okay, $4.20 in the month of September or for free with the
Twitch primaries, three minute and break now. Big dog is Marat. Okay,
instantly this is reminding me of Call of Duty 1 which objectively is the greatest in the franchise
okay call of duty one was oh my god oh my god chat you guys don't understand you guys don't
fucking understand like you were not there when the genre was being invented we had metal of honor
Okay, we had Medal of Honor and then out of nowhere this thing came and
You watch like when you were playing the fucking Russian side
When you were playing the fucking USSR and if you walked away from the fucking battle line
They just shot and killed you they gave you literally potatoes. You had to run up
You had to run up in in the fucking field of like automatic machine gun fire from the Germans
They run directly towards that with no with a gun, but no bullets because ussr did not have enough
Okay
Like oh my god the USR campaigns were so good. Holy shit
Holy fucking shit. That is not historically accurate man. Shut up. It was still sick
The USR campaign in katoos legit the best set of levels in all of cod hands down
Yeah, wait the cod 2 is the one where you where you plant the flag, right?
Oh, yeah, the game starts without starts out with bullets, but no guns and the dude in front of you dies
Fuck man, that she was so good. Anyway, this kind of reminded me even like the opening sequence kind of reminded me of how I felt
Dude, you're crazy is modern warfare 2 everyone knows that no, I'm not talking about multiplayer man. Shut up
Yes, I love modern warfare 2 as well. Okay. Yes, duh. No shit. I'm simply talking about like
what the impact of the
What the impact of of and not even wait modern warfare modern warfare 2
Was that the one
Was modern warfare 2 multiplayer the one where you could do running gun with like the shotgun and it was like so OP
And and also knife kill people like crazy
Is that and the one with no Russian in it? Yeah, that she was okay. That was the that was the goaded
That was the peak. I think that was the peak of Call of Duty as a franchise, but
That one had that was the most that one was the most complete is the multiplayer was excellent and
Also
Not only was the multiplayer excellent, but the single-player story was excellent too, but the USSR campaigns. Holy fuck dude. Oh
My god the impact that that shit had on my mindset dude
dude
merking japanese fascist
as like a chinese ops guy
oh my
this is what chinese soft power looks like and i'm fucking here for it dude
oh my god i'm here for it
cultural victory
complete cultural victory
no blood because of censorship no there was blood
there was literally blood what are you talking about
i mean it might not have blood in the chinese game
because i do think that the chinese game doesn't have blood
Like I know Chinese censorship doesn't have blood in it, but wait, maybe they don't have blood.
Did I imagine them having blood like when he was shooting the fucking blood?
You're right. Yes.
For the record, Chinese games don't have blood in them.
Yes, that is correct.
Like or nothing.
I don't even think like you can't have I thought it's only skulls or anything
that represents death or underworld or bones.
Did Wukong not have fucking blood in it?
Or you literally fight the tiger and black myth Wukong in a pool of blood?
That's true.
Wukong has skeletons too.
Is that fucking, is that like Wukong literally the suicide wolf hanging?
If it's a human, no blood allowed, Cabo Roam responded to the criticism.
Is this a fucking poop sock?
If it is, I'm leaving.
I'm leaving.
I have encouraged people to use critical thinking skills, learn about what they're voting for,
learn about who they're voting for and ask questions, and it's being completely taken out of context
per usual. There is nuance to what I say. I'm following Chablerone, fuck it. And I think it's
important that people use critical thinking. I think it's important for me to question
authority and question world leaders and question myself, question my algorithm, question of some
person that tweeted something about someone else's even through. It's important to question because
that's how I think we move forward. This is my third election in voting and the world is
changing so rapidly and I want to be part of the generation that changes things for good
because we need it.
Who is this? This is Chapel Roan.
If you read my full interviews,
if you literally know anything about me
and for what I stand for,
you know that this is not lip service,
this is not virtue signaling,
that my actions have always paved the way
for my project and the people who really know me.
Actions speak louder than words,
and actions speak louder
than an endorsement.
Here's the full quote that a lot of people are just not reading.
I have so many issues with our government in every way, she says.
There are so many things that I would want to change, so I don't feel pressured to endorse
someone.
There's problems on both sides, and I encourage people to use your critical thinking skills.
Use your vote.
Vote small.
Vote for what's going on in your city.
The change she wants to see in the US is this election year.
that instantly is trans rights. They cannot have cis people making decisions for trans people, period.
So, hear from my mouth if you're still wondering. No, I'm not voting for Trump. And yes,
I will always question those in power and those making decisions over other people.
And I will stand up for what's right and what I believe in and like
It's always at the forefront of my oh my god PSL dude. He's PSL
He's PSL all the way
H-O-T-T-O-G-O
And I'm sorry that you fell for it. She's going PSL. She's going PSL. She's going PSL
He's doing it
H-O-T-T-O-G-O
PSL can win if you go and vote
He deaf watches you. I don't know
Is I think if she did she follow me
Like there's a lot of there's a lot of people that
there's like
Famous people to watch me they follow me
The fuck is PLO. Oh
She's a PLO voters. Not even a PSL voter
Chopper run pose with a copy of United win the workplace organizes handbook in a new Instagram store
that's pretty sick cool man I for I heard for NBC that you're interviewing
chapel Roan next oh I forgot I mentioned that in the NBC interview I wrote that
last night they were asking me questions where's the NBC interview my NBC
piece came with the NBC interview that's fake I mean I don't really give
a shit about that I don't give a shit about her holding up a copy of
organizer, whatever. I don't care about that being real or fake. I don't really give a shit about
her holding that up. This does not change the thing that I said last night. Online influencer,
Keady Younger audiences. Keady, engaging with this younger audience about politics is not just
about embracing names like the now notorious Bratz Summer, which was popularized after the
release of British pop star Charlie XCX, communicate to them that they are worthy of
attention and their desires are valid, and that you are actually going to do something
piker known online by his username house and I've been said in a recent interview with NBC news
authenticity is not a novel approach when it comes to content creation but it's something
politicians have struggled with achieving on their own particularly amid an election cycle
in which many young voters find themselves jaded with politics as a whole
they Tuesday put the five gifts to subs because I said uh chapel ron is a psl voter classic
overall young voters are not very optimistic right now according to NBC news state team jnz
poll over 2,600 voters under 30 in September. Most young people now gravitate towards social
media platforms to get information. Piker33 launched an internet fame on the young progressive
show Young Tours creator run by his uncle, Jink Uygar. After branching out on his own,
he became a prominent voice online, garnering us with fans and critics alike. With such exposure,
came some controversy as well. In 2021, Piker said he was temporarily kicked off Twitch
for using a derogatory term for white people. I can't believe they've put that in the article.
Still, Piker's success as a streamer has been in mind by fellow political creators,
especially those who are chasing similar progressive audiences. He kind of pioneered
the space and that style of coverage, said Graham Lowe. He's not the first person to do politics
on Twitch, but he certainly made a space where instead of just doing debates or screaming
at people on a Discord call, you could actually grapple with these subjects and
really break them down and build a community around that. Sean the Black also credits
as piker for being a major influence on a stream. I've been in the Hassan community for like 45
months at this point. It was the first person who got me introduced to leftist politics in a meaningful way.
It was one of the only black creators on the platform doing political commentary. Hassan inspired
me even just to be political outside of being a creator, to be political and fight for people
that I believe should be fought for. Republican Democratic parties have also noticed the influence
that creators can hold with their audiences and in the last year have up their efforts
the court creators in hopes of engaging with more young voters in the recent years.
Parker said he's noticed online political landscape change in 2020. He said political discourse was
way more liberal or even left leaning under Trump due to its counterculture status.
Under President Joe Biden, Parker said the Gamergate culture war narratives,
referring to the increasing number of misogynists in game-centered communities,
have become the forefront of political commentary. With the rise of Andrew Tate
clones, crypto bros, and reactionary shock factor streamers, false masculinity
peddlers have captured a lot of territory, which is the low propensity voters that have
notoriously swung for Trump, Piker said.
This presents a unique problem for the Democratic Party.
Damn, that Piker spit, dude.
Last month's DNC was the first to open his doors to social media content creators for
Piker.
Attendant DNC was a unique opportunity to provide behind-the-scenes access to his
audience.
He describes himself as an entertainer with the goal of helping young people make more
informed decisions.
I have more access to politicians than I did in 2020, so I'm going to try and
use that," he said, adding that he also hopes to motivate Democrats towards issues
I believe are important to address that will be electorally beneficial.
Biker said he would like to see Democrats realistically tackle the high cost of living
for young people, to offer a ceasefire in Gaza and a weapons transfer from Israeli
forces and fight for social justice.
Nearly 100 conservative influencers also attended the RNC in Milwaukee.
Donald Trump has collaborated with major influencers who are popular with young
men including Keke Schumer, Aidan Ross, and YouTuber Logan Paul.
Some critics have said they've been offered payment to endorse political candidates
and a Mongo host a popular podcast canceled recently made headlines after claiming a recent episode that she was offered millions to endorse
A political candidate of a party. He said she doesn't identify with he later wrote
In the comment section of the video that she is 100% Democrat and voting for Kamala Harris
piker who said he would endorse
Harris and
Tim waltz
What he would endorse Harrison Tim waltz said he's been approached by wait. What did I say that?
So fuck
I don't think I said that
has been approached by political groups, but not a candidate directly.
I think they know better, he said. I welcome the access every time.
However, I, however, will change my opinion. I, however, will never change my opinion for money.
Not so sure if others who aren't political commentators would also hold similar standards.
He's appeared in streams on his channel with politicians, including, wait, I also made a
fucking potshot. I think I said I would endorse them if they changed their stances on issues.
Not that I would endorse them, but anyway, um, he's appearing in streams of the AOC.
I also took shots at fucking at Tim pool here.
I said, but they didn't put that in there.
Um, with the upcoming election, Piger feel slightly optimistic.
I think that Kamala Harris is significantly more responsive to the calls in the base
than anyone else that I've seen thus far in the last two cycles.
Okay.
This is not, this is old stuff.
This is pre DNC stuff.
Some of these quotes are post-DNC from last night when they asked for quotes, but I would
say that this is not a position that I maintain currently.
Come November 5th, Piker will be ready for another busy day of streaming.
I'll be strapped into my chair, ready to offer real-time commentary.
As always, he said, maybe more guests.
I'm hoping Chapel Roan.
No, this was immediately after they chose Tim Waltz, and I even then told them at
time in the interview I was like I don't know if they will be consistently responsive.
You should request the correction now I don't give a shit.
Fuck it. Let NBC watchers think that I'm pro endorsing Kamala Harris who cares.
It's good. Yeah. Maybe we'll funnel some lives in here.
Chavarone follows you on IG. No she doesn't. I can't even get mad at this
Because honestly, it's so cute. I fucking love mooding.
I think you yourself are probably proving exactly why I don't really hang around those sorts of communities.
Because unfortunately, it's fanbase is incredibly fucking annoying.
You know. Okay, well, the way you're behaving is still fucking annoying, even if you're not a part of this fanbase.
So...
security guy liked that one where oh the this guy he was laughing okay well the
way you're behaving is you guys a drama girly will you condemn will or saying he
thinks mood is overrated yes how the fuck do you hate mood dang bro she is so

pygmy hippos that are growing up in captivity have to fucking learn how to
be around humans like what are you talking about they're still a goddamn
hippo they have to learn how to like be comfortable around human beings like
making noises and shit you don't want them like accidentally killing a child but
Yeah, I am I am basic for loving moodang. I am basic for loving moodang
But honestly, it doesn't even matter like I yeah, I'm basic
Dude, I oh my god, I need like
My dream my dream in life. First of all, she's not in China. She's in Thailand, but my dream in life is to
Straight up be able to do this at one point
Okay, that is all I care about. I care about
Being able to just smush the little face of a baby pygmy hippo
So badly so fucking badly. I need it. I need it. I
Need it for my soul. Okay, and
The other one is capybaras. I need to I need to also pet capybaras. I need that as well
Once I get a baby hippo all the socialism shit is over

have I have interacted with the kangaroo no one can prepare you for how coarse
cappies are yeah I've heard also moodang isn't the only baby pygmy hippo
out there. There's others. Good. That's the mother's revenge. What else came out of the
fucking state of play from PlayStation? Like nothing, huh? Nothing. Concord two. Good one.
Until Dawn remastered. Ugh. They will never remaster Bloodborne. Okay. It's because Sony.
because Sony hates money and also it's fans. Please understand they will never, they will
never ever in a million fucking years remaster Bloodborne because they hate you. Okay? I need
you to understand this very important fact. They hate money and they hate their fucking
fans. Me on the other hand, I love money and I love my fans. That's why I'm playing
the woke game Dustborn. Okay, we're going to give Dustborn another shot.
We're gonna give it another fucking shot. It was kinda ass.
I know that tree. I've seen it before in the stillness, and now I'm dreaming about it, which makes sense, I guess.
Eldering copy. H-Honey the Eldering. Watch it, you think it would have taken the sun.
What's this thing?
I gotta pee. But we're playing the woke game. It's the fucking wokers game of all time.
They don't tell us the truth because they want to.
And all they want to do is fear them for the safety of these people.
They control us all the time.
They're performing their sectanic rituals.
And their children look crazy.
And what are they doing to the children?
They're crying before our minds.
Ah, I feel the pressure on me.
There's people that fight for the word of Jesus.
And they hurt the children.
They don't like to live in our neighborhoods.
They're poising our minds with their religion
and cussing on the radio that they see them.
Guys, I have an announcement. This is a big fucking deal. Okay, just found the Oreo Coke
Zero. No, not that I took the belt off. I found Oreo Coke Zero and I ordered it. And I will
be trying it tomorrow FDA approve baby don't do it it's awful I've heard
conflicting reviews I've heard that it's actually pretty fire
it's that sort of okay I guess we have to beat this again okay finally is this a
soul is like no dude there's like no combat no nothing it's just hot ass Pacifica border
two miles from the American Republic it's the greatest game of all time my characters
only skill is just like making people feel bad by being woke and it's a superpower unironically
If they thought we had anything to do with that cop getting...
They would have called up to us already, Si.
Passing through the Pacifica border check.
It's a game about that one friend who's too, uh...
Why don't we stop?
Automated border control.
Normal procedure.
Guys?
Guys!
Is that...
Oh, fuck, oh, fuck, oh, fuck!
You might want to, uh, drive?
We're still being scared.
Fuck that, let's just go!
Gate will open to the scouts' command.
But as long as the view of the ID isn't not in the system,
They should let us through.
They catch up with us.
They have flying ships.
The Puritans can't follow us into the TFC.
It'd be an active war against the public.
We've received all clear by the Pacific Guard.
Seriously?
But how did we not win?
What?
We're home free?
Wait.
Is she Muslim?
Bruh.
I thought that one chatter was joking when he said
my fiance voiced the fucking character.
She's like
Like I it just like I was like, yeah, okay, sure
We have to actually pass through the dmc and across the republic border and the puritans can't follow
They're banned from the republic like I said it'd be an act of war to even enter nomads fans
Justice has no love for the puritans
But won't the republic border guards wonder why a punk rock band on a tour bus is being pursued by puritans
I just count in our favor
I can soon find out. As far as they're concerned, we're just a band touring the Republic.
And not a crew of dangerous criminals making their daring escape from Pacifica.
Oh, um...
Nice scenery.
It's moments, Land. Trust bastards are shut.
What? Are they gonna shoot at us?
We're not trespassing.
As long as we stay on the bus, we're safe. I think.
We're entering the American Republic.
Welcome to Mordor, fellow hobbits.
I've been hailed by Justice Border Patrol. I'm required to stop the vehicle.
Oh, fuck!
Normal procedure. Let's not give them a reason to detain us.
Remember our cover. You're a punk rock band touring the provinces.
Oh, you're so fucked!
Is this said in the wide person's universe? What does that even mean?
Licensed to operate this vehicle?
The aftermath of the broadcast just declared martial law in the American Revolgian Disorder
is still in place 30 years later.
I'm transmitting the requested information now, sir.
I need to speak with a human, not a machine.
A good afternoon officer.
Four humans, one robot.
Papers please.
Passports, visas, invitation letter.
What's up with the corporate motorcade back there?
Are you associated with the Puritans?
No.
No sir, I think there was some sort of border inspection.
Nothing at all to do with us.
Your purpose for entering the Republic?
We're a band.
A band?
Music.
Punk, rock, music?
We're touring the provinces.
Uh, huh.
You'll find that it's all there too.
Damn, P.O.
One moment sir.
Everybody off the bus.
What's the problem?
Now.
Uh-oh.
I don't see you on the top boarding.
I suggest retreat this has a warm-up gig at least no one's paying to hear us
How bad can it be? Oh, no, I got a feel I can't feel the QTE
What do we even play I?
Scribbled down some lyrics for that tune we jammed on last week. Oh, no
No, it's that fucking work song
Just follow my lead guys. Oh my god. Oh my lord. Oh my lanta
oh my non-denominational god oh buddy oh boy oh this game could not get any worse
wait was I playing this with like fucking we usually warm up before each gig
you caught us by surprise well whatever you may want to pick a different song
next time folks in the Republic don't much like politics with their
entertainment oh everyone's a fucking credit name of your band we're at the
What was that?
For a fan that hasn't practiced in weeks?
I'd say we did okay.
We got through it.
We need to do better.
But those lyrics pass.
A bit risqué for the Republic, aren't they?
Who listens to the lyrics?
You sure the Puritans can get those things?
Not her.
We know her as don't listen to the fucking lyrics
because guess what, if she did, she'd be like,
this is hot ass.
This is hot fucking ass, baby.
Very sure.
The Republic may not be safe. We're in justice territory, but we've seen the last of the Puritans
Pacifica would never allow its cross
They'd end up in a shooting war with the Republic. Okay. Well here that was not great good enough those twits
At least we made it into the Republic
Yes, oh, I
Gotta do duty time
Wait, I can change
No, I like this one.
Okay, bam.
That's good.
How much do they pay you to use your likeness?
Damn, women always be doing the dishes, am I right?
It's fucked up, but...
Another gender-neutral bathroom, by the way.
Classic.
Hey.
Do you want to... talk... about the detour?
No, not now.
We can discuss...
Okay, Hasan, chill.
...what we've made camp.
You can't be out here fucking wearing fingerless gloves and act like you're cool, okay?
Sup?
Let's talk about my Muslim friend here.
That was intense.
We got through it, but fuck me, that was a close call.
Look, my hands are still shaking.
It's a fucking miracle I didn't turn into a statue out there.
But you didn't, and we made it.
We're in the Republic Republic
Wait, where are we happy about that? All right
What are you reading the Marilyn Monroe story? Who's that?
seriously
Seriously, Jesus Pax movie star
JFK second wife
America's first lady Madame Justice. I try to avoid justice history. I
I... I don't even know what to say.
She's only one of the most important figures of the 20th century.
She dead?
Is she?
No!
And that's not the point.
She's actually still alive, 104 and ticking.
And she looks fabulous.
Cool!
Enjoy your book about an old lady who got famous for being married to an old dead dude.
I hate you.
Yeah, I hate her.
Here we go, kid.
Our route.
So, we're going from Pacifica through Oregon and Nevada where we have our first booked gig
to New Jerusalem, Utah and one of the Weave Secret libraries. After that, we play another gig
before crossing into the Rockies to Boulder, Colorado and our second library, the north
South Dakota, Minnesota to Chicago in a meeting with Theo's contact and from there
into Canada and Acadia to Nova Scotia nearly four thousand miles on roads less
traveled to a place we've never heard of in service of a shadowing. In someone
in my head canon this is a continuation of the walking dead but
instead of zombies, Clementine became bisexual.
Rock rapid campground, baby, let's go.
Well, oh yeah, Clementine is bisexual.
As soon as we've parked I'll start preparing dinner. I'll take care of the fire watch. Hey, that's my job
I'll give it to you. This is
Sorry, but you can't evoke JFK on good faith entertainment platform and not be the scummiest sort of grifter
We need to explore the mindset of that chatter a little bit further
What the fuck you just said, but I love that
What's the word I'm looking for?
Primitive.
Rustic.
Cozy.
Cozy's the word.
This is cozy.
Isn't rustic the same as primitive?
Rustic is romance.
Primitive is an insult.
Primitive is sexy.
Rustic is your dad's man cave.
I'm telling you, the word's cozy.
Cozy's like comfortable socks.
What's a man cave?
Oh, Theo.
The things I can teach you, based on our performance.
I need to understand what's going on with Chatter's mind.
Chatter found a way to be triggered by literally the game that is the woke game.
And for me,
I like for me, that is, that's peak. Okay. That's peak cinema.
Like that is better than anything this game.
emails always want to run away at your lowest point
ah damn dude that's fucked up
fans are saying you never played video games thank you
I was paid by a son the link this is correct though
like I do play fucking video game did that guy say anything else
did that guy just stop at the fucking JFK thing like they got mad at JFK
He's
Remember we're booked to play a Pete's pool home day after tomorrow. I think Max is writing some new material
Maybe we can try that out. Oh
That's no so good. I
Don't know about you guys, but I'm starving
Sorry, we're gonna get you some fucking halal food on God
How do I tell when my sausage is done? The locals call it a dog. Sorry. I prefer sausage. Oh, we know
What is that? Oh, funny. I don't get it. You sweet innocent man.
Liv, the best way to tell if a sausage is done is to use your mouth.
Was that a dirty joke, Theo? Did you just tell a dirty joke?
OMG. Oh God gross.
I have no idea what you two are talking about.
Yo, robot, is this Sausage Halal?
I made notes of all dietary restrictions.
Those dogs are made with turkey meat.
Uh, well, as long as it's not pork.
I'm just think I had a reservation at the best sushi restaurant in San Francisco tonight.
You had...
...a reservation...
...at a restaurant?
You knew we'd be on the run, right?
I like to keep my options open.
Your...
...options...
...a dinner reservation.
Tonight at the finest sushi place in town. Yes, Theo
Unbelievable. Thank you. The grilled mushrooms in barbecue pork are ready anytime
You know what maybe I'll stick with the sausages. That'd be a damn shame
Shut up
Hi a chill
Watch that shade. Yeah, I ordered a diet coke. I ordered coke zero Oreo
Where are we sleep? Under the open sky? I don't want to wake up at four in the morning with a squirrel on my face.
We sleep on the bus.
Is it safe?
Yeah. What about motorcycle gang?
How are you doing? Good question.
I've had more time for self-reflection than I've had in years. It's almost decadent.
Truth is, I haven't left Pacifica in a decade. I haven't been home in almost two.
I mean, I don't know if I can call Hong Kong home anymore, but there's really no
where else. Maybe it's time to go back. I mean, after we complete the mission and
get paid of course.
One second. Murat! Get the door again please! Outside door, it's not opening. Quick!
Oh perfect, thank you. Yeah, I've worked but it might need a signature. Sorry, chat.
Got back to back.
Plenty of cash. I don't know how any money in there. Yeah, having lost is incredibly powering partnership.
We're doing this as a team you and me kid, but also them.
Not interested in discussing this kid, so let's move on.
This is good for all of us, and we get to do it together. That's the best part.
I hope Si feels the same way.
you didn't forget to turn off the compressor did you
was that what you signed up for?
we'll take care of her
i know you will
you always do
me
i'm not much of a taking care of her
so i've had a traumatic day
i feel bad about tag teaming her
i also know how much
listen dog
If you haven't never been woken up by the sound of a goddamn air compressor at 3 in the morning, you don't know what I'm talking about.
Okay? Some of you do know that. Maybe you live on top of like a garage or something.
I should invest in a low-noise air compressor.
Bitch, you're the one who bought it.
It's crazy.
Marant meeting greed?
No.
This motherfucker, bro.
He forgets to unplug or turn off the air compressor.
And then I get a fucking crazy wake up in the middle of the goddamn night.
It literally 3 a.m. when it's like...
And I'm like, oh, that's it. I'm being bombed.
I'm being invaded.
Some shit is afoot.
Really messed up.
Whilst we're on the topic of trauma, this whole thing?
What about it? Great shirt.
Even better concert.
Man, we really are in the middle of nowhere.
I wonder what my business partners would think if they saw me now.
They'd probably just think I'd gone completely bonkers and have me sectioned.
Is that regret I hear?
I'm right where I want to be.
Where I chose to be.
With you.
Damn, Denver, put it in the fucking word.
You might like this.
What?
Where did you get this?
This is actually rare.
I had a copy of this.
My father bought it shortly before he...
he left for England.
This was basically how my collection started.
I'd scour all the shops in Hong Kong for new comics
and spend all of my allowance.
Mother hated it.
I kept my collection a secret from her.
I had to sell this particular issue recently, together with my entire collection, to cover some financial losses.
I never thought I'd see another copy of Justice for All Number One, probably the most unintentionally homoerotic comic ever made.
It opened the doors to a whole new universe for me. This is amazing. Thank you.
Wow. I love this game. So much good personal lore.
wait what what are you doing just relaxing oh my god oh my god we're doing
gay sex okay I'm gonna get I'm gonna get them another year written all over it
lady justice be still my beating heart I figured you'd like it like oh my god
I'm doing a second darling I adore it perfect timing to I just realized I left
my E-SIGs in the apartment.
I just need some real cancerous cigarettes to light up.
You know, there's a reason real tobacco's illegal in Pacifica.
And that reason is the nanny state.
If I want to slowly kill myself, that's my problem.
Not theirs.
Thanks again for coming along.
I was done with Pacifica.
Pacifica was done with me.
And nothing.
It's just money.
I honestly don't care.
But losing you would be intolerant.
Damn! Yo, that pussy got me acting strange, dude.
What'd I do on my own, Pacifica?
This way, I got to go acting strange, yo.
That pussy got me acting strange, yo.
Yeah.
Once I get a piece of that, they then pussy is over, okay?
Yeah, it won't. I don't want to lose you either.
But that doesn't mean...
Sure. I know that. That's not why I'm here.
I don't know how to make a graceful exit.
Pretend you're going to the toilet, then slink away into the night.
works like a charm every time they've been doing acting on what I hate to say
but good job with the grub wasn't bad I'm glad it wasn't bad I did use fresh
ingredients since we're giving feedback your performance earlier was
acceptable but you missed a lot of notes and didn't always stay on beat noted
anytime packs ma'am if I may ask why are you antagonistic towards robots of
Of course, if you'd rather not say, I completely understand.
It's not personal.
If one of my kind hurt you or someone you care about-
No, not that old chestnut.
I just-
Where I grew up, technology was frowned on.
And robots were taboo.
You were anarcho-primitivist.
And deeply religious.
What?
The problem is in-
No!
This game is not real, bro.
This game is not real bro!
Are you fucking joking?
No.
No.
No.
I refuse.
Robot said, oh you were a narco primitivist
and she said yes dude.
That's a...
Come on man!
You specifically...
Problem is, you're a robot.
Like I said, it's nothing personal.
It's also because, yeah, she can't manipulate the robots, you know?
Uh, and program?
Yes, ma'am.
So, this is nice.
It is nice.
Sorry for being so selfish earlier.
I'm happy you get to see your family.
Even if I can't...
I guess I was still feeling shitty after the whole...
cop thing and the bathroom thing all the things packs why can't you go back long
story my dad thinks I'm a monster my mom's my mom's she never stands up to him
wait what and my fucking siblings wait wait is this game no longer woke is it
like, like the dad has multiple moms or does she have like lesbian moms? Because at first
I thought she had lesbian moms. But now it's like, is it actually, is it actually that like,
is it actually that like her dad has two wives or something? Is it something like weird?
Is this some like weird situation where like the guys were, they've never encountered like
a Muslim person? And then so they chose to be like, Oh yeah, you know, we're being
culturally sensitive like obviously all Muslims have multiple wives like duh
just like all Hassanabi chatters driving the top of the hour to avoid the
three-minute average here's a dream in average now dude it's just too much I
don't want to think about my justice worshipping family right now hey we're
in the Republic! Can you believe it? Her cover story held up. Speaking of earlier, not the
cop thing. Although, seeing him get squashed by that fucking truck is gonna haunt me.
No, the, uh, the bathroom thing? It won't take long. I just... I need to talk about it with
someone what's up my meltdown oh my god this game is like no wonder is fucking
people didn't want to play this game bro it's literally bro who the fuck wants to
be around these people it's like this is literally a video game where they put
like the most unbearable when your friend who's that one friend who's two
woke people like four of them together they're all fucking insanely
narcissistic. They're all trauma dumping. They're all also incredibly woke in their trauma dumping.
So then they'll say stuff like, um, permission to do permission to, uh, demand emotional labor
before I start trauma dumping. Like, yeah, no one, nobody wanted to play this game, bro. This is
so bad. Like these are, this is pre Elon Musk Twitter. Okay. This is literally set in
like a Minecraft discord. Okay. What the fuck is going on? It's like looking into a Minecraft
discord and like turning it into a fucking video game conversation simulator. But like
in, you know, 2018, like life is strange is packed to the fucking gills with some lib
shit. Okay. But this is literally, why did you decide to play it? Because it's the
the game of the goddamn year. Okay. I decided to play it.
I saw you around the target audience. Also this game came out
this year. Yeah, I know. Ain't nobody is the target audience
though. That's the problem. This game literally got this game
reached its peak concurrent viewership when I played it at
24,000 like total. Did you know that? I feel bad. It's
like, I'm sure the devs appreciate you. Yeah.
I feel bad. I don't want to like shit on it too much because I'm sure they're like very nice people that made it.
The number two streamer on this game has 20 viewers. Yeah.
This game is for a very specific elder millennial queer person who spent a little too much time online. Yeah.
They're Norwegian. You can talk your ship, bro. I feel bad, especially because like I believe state funds went into making this game like the Norwegian public arts program also funded the making of this game.
I've actually loved these deaths for a long time and this game ain't for me.
What other games have they made?
Yeah, this game got over one million in public funds from Norway slash EU.
They keep excluding me.
I can't even take part in the communal dinner due to autism food sensitivity and they refuse
to make one of my safe foods.
Might just go join up the fascist militias in the republic.
There are actually reviews that liked it.
One said that the politics content was good.
There were.
There were like video game reviews that reviewed this game and they were like,
fire. After the trilogy for that, for that they made
Droggin. It was a short walking sim, but it was fine.
Wait, this is from the people that made Detroit become human?
No, it's not, dude. No way. No, you're literally, you're talking
about the publisher. In August, 2024, the developer released
a statement condemning the title wave of hate and abuse
aimed towards them. Bro, this one fucking account is so
god damn annoying i'm banning them big shout out to my favorite stream to just keep like literally
spamming that and it doesn't even show up in the god damn fucking chat like it literally doesn't show
up in the chat it only shows up on my twitch chat and all it does is just like cause me to not be
able to pull up any quotes on my twitch chat the last guy i ban i don't know if it's like an
issue with young BLD1. I don't know if it was an issue with my Twitch chat or what,
but it was just like mass spamming. Big shout out to my favorite
over and over again. Wait, what the fuck? He only said it once. He never even said it.
He just said big shout out to my favorite streamer Zon one time.
What the fuck? Why was it like constantly showing up on my Twitch chat? I'm unbanning them.
That's weird. That's a twitch bug right now when you scroll too high. Oh
Okay, it's a buh
Okay, dude, I'm not playing this game. I'm sorry I
Can't finish this game. I'm like I'm spending way too much time
Literally talking to chatters and shit instead of playing this goddamn game. I
can't I
I un I unbanned the chatter calm down. Okay
Listen tomorrow. We will go on a separate journey this time on a non woke game to see what it's actually like
Even though from what I understand
even though
Even though as far as I understand
The woke the the wokeness radar
has actually caught
Warhammer 40k as well apparently warhammer 40k is also
Not fucking uh
It's also not unwoke. It's actually woke because there's black people in it. I'm not even kidding. They literally said that
Anyway, I love you guys and I will see you tomorrow. All right
Peace everybody
